1% Club of Bitcoin Holders by Age Revealed | EP 1001 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:02
  It's. All going to zero against
• 0:05
  Bitcoin. It's going up forever.
• 0:15
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
• 0:22
  Yeah, we're going to simply Bitcoin Live, your number one
• 0:24
  source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution, car breaking news,
• 0:27
  culture, matic warfare. We will be your guide through
• 0:30
  the separation of money and state.
• 0:32
  Guys, sit back, relax, enjoy the ride.
• 0:34
  We have a hell of a show lined up for you guys today anyhow.
• 0:38
  Well, every, every time we cover this topic, it seems like you
• 0:42
  guys like it. So we're gonna keep covering
• 0:43
  this topic and we're gonna keep reiterating it and updating it.
• 0:48
  So today's topic of the show is what is the 1% club of Bitcoin
• 0:53
  holders? But it's gonna be by age group,
• 0:57
  right? So it's gonna be a a little bit
• 0:58
  of a different spin because we haven't talked about that
• 1:01
  before. So you'll see where you rank up.
• 1:04
  You'll see what what you know what your stacking goal should
• 1:07
  be, what what you're trying, you know where you're trying to
• 1:09
  achieve in all this. But I'll tell you this guys,
• 1:12
  it's a lot less than you might think.
• 1:14
  And I'll explain as to why that is.
• 1:17
  Basically the most of the world still hasn't woken up to the
• 1:22
  fact that Bitcoin is the superior asset.
• 1:25
  Like there's your competitive advantage, but that window is
• 1:29
  slowly closing. Like the fact that BlackRock is
• 1:32
  here, the fact that another public company this week
• 1:36
  announced that they're, you know, adopting a Bitcoin
• 1:39
  strategy, that window of opportunity is closing.
• 1:43
  Like American Hoddle had that legendary meme of 6.125 Bitcoin
• 1:47
  or 6.15 Bitcoin, whatever it was for many years while the price
• 1:52
  of Bitcoin was at like 3500, like 10K.
• 1:55
  Yeah. Now we're getting to that point
• 1:57
  where you better move extremely quickly because I think the days
• 2:02
  of under 6 figure Bitcoin are slowly coming to an end.
• 2:07
  Someone says rave elevator in the chat says spoiler, you don't
• 2:10
  have enough. No one has enough Bitcoin.
• 2:12
  Like I don't think I've met anyone.
• 2:14
  We all, I think if you're a Bitcoiner, we all have this like
• 2:17
  constant like dread feeling of like, wow, I wish I stacked
• 2:22
  more, I wish I got in earlier or whatever.
• 2:25
  So that's completely normal if you're a Bitcoiner.
• 2:28
  But you know, if you hold it out a couple cycles, I would say
• 2:32
  minimum two cycles, you're gonna be in a much better place
• 2:35
  financially than where you started.
• 2:37
  So we're gonna do the total breakdown for you guys.
• 2:41
  Initially. You guys are gonna be like,
• 2:42
  whoa, that is a ridiculously high amount.
• 2:44
  Then I'm going to give you the good news because it's a lot
• 2:47
  lower than you might think if you're looking at it from the
• 2:51
  perspective of the future. So really excited about today's
• 2:54
  topic. And once again, how much Bitcoin
• 2:57
  does it take to be in the 1% of your age group, which I think is
• 3:02
  really interesting and you guys love this topic when we cover
• 3:05
  it. Also, another news, we haven't
• 3:07
  talked about freedom of speech, We haven't talked about
• 3:10
  censorship in quite a long time. So it's something that I do want
• 3:13
  to address today because not only are we living through the
• 3:17
  disintermediation of money, but we're also living through the
• 3:21
  disintermediation of information.
• 3:23
  Actually, the disintermediation of information is happening 1st,
• 3:27
  and you're seeing a reaction to that.
• 3:29
  You had the Biden administration try to introduce a new agency in
• 3:34
  the Department of Homeland Security to police speech,
• 3:37
  right? You had the Twitter files that
• 3:38
  were exposed. And there was many examples of
• 3:42
  members of the US government putting pressure on a private
• 3:45
  company to censor the speech of American citizens, which is
• 3:48
  completely against the 1st Amendment.
• 3:50
  But you know, laws are suffering from inflation these days also.
• 3:54
  So what we're going to have, we have a quick update for you guys
• 3:57
  as well on the freedom of speech side of things.
• 4:00
  Because if we lose the battle for free speech, then we lose
• 4:04
  the battle for Bitcoin. If you think that they're going
• 4:06
  to be, if they're not OK with you speaking with each other
• 4:09
  freely about ideas and words, what makes you think they're
• 4:14
  going to be OK with you transacting freely?
• 4:16
  So freedom of speech and, you know, freedom to Bitcoin go hand
• 4:21
  in hand. Freedom of speech is our most
• 4:24
  powerful weapon against, you know, tyrannical governments,
• 4:27
  against governments that want to, you know, establish these
• 4:31
  central bank digital currencies because they don't really have
• 4:35
  good reasons on their side. So our most powerful weapon, and
• 4:39
  I'm taking this from Naim Bukale's article that he made
• 4:42
  that he authored for Bitcoin magazine, Don't drink the elite
• 4:46
  kool-aid. He says their most important
• 4:48
  weapon is their control on the truth, right?
• 4:50
  This is narrative trench warfare and the battlegrounds of the
• 4:53
  Internet. If me if tweets are bullets,
• 4:56
  memes are artillery, You know, you got to win over the hearts
• 4:58
  and minds of people, the masses. And so that they really wake up
• 5:03
  to the fact that Bitcoin fixes this, that a lot of their
• 5:05
  divisions are caused not so much by, you know, the whole left and
• 5:11
  right and whatever they're caused by broken money, fix the
• 5:15
  money, fix the world. I really think it's going to
• 5:18
  unify the world in the process. So we have a lot to cover today
• 5:21
  on that front. Also, we have an incredibly
• 5:23
  special guest joining us today. We have Brandon.
• 5:26
  Brandon is, I believe you're the head of marketing at Bitcoin
• 5:30
  trading cards, is that correct? Yes, Sir.
• 5:33
  Yeah, it's an honor to be here and thanks for driving marketing
• 5:36
  and at the Bitcoin trading cards.
• 5:38
  So and happy birthday by the way, happy thousand 7th episode
• 5:41
  and happy birthday too, by the way.
• 5:43
  I didn't know that until watching the show so.
• 5:46
  Dude, I mean, Ben completely caught me off guard.
• 5:49
  And then like the amount of people I I saw Opti in there,
• 5:53
  Ruston, you know, the amount of people that were in that video
• 5:57
  was just like, I was like Jeff Boot.
• 5:59
  Like it was like I was like, Oh my God.
• 6:00
  It was like an overwhelming feeling of stuff.
• 6:03
  So, you know, shout out to Ben for putting that together and
• 6:07
  shout out to everyone who participated in the in the
• 6:10
  video, one of them being my legendary Co host who is always
• 6:14
  optimistic, Optimus Fields, who's literally being attacked
• 6:18
  by storms. I literally heard like right
• 6:22
  before we were going on, he's like Nico, I might lose
• 6:25
  Internet. And they was like, like, I can
• 6:27
  literally hear it through the microphone.
• 6:30
  What the hell is happening in Dallas, man?
• 6:32
  Dude, I don't know the I can't in my past this I I no, I'm not
• 6:36
  even going to say that because that's definitely going to
• 6:38
  inherit our YouTube, but I don't know there is definitely some
• 6:42
  form of weather modification happening out here going on No,
• 6:48
  no, so it it hit really hard Tuesday.
• 6:51
  It was pretty, it was pretty minor yesterday, but literally
• 6:54
  like right when I sat down to go on the show today, it just
• 6:57
  started thundering and raining and it just started dumping.
• 7:01
  And yeah, so hey, if I pop off, guys, you know what happened?
• 7:05
  My electricity got shut off because of another storm.
• 7:08
  But as of now, I'm here. And if you hear Thunder in the
• 7:11
  background, you guys, you guys are aware of what's going on,
• 7:14
  but it's it, it'll probably pass in 30 minutes.
• 7:17
  At least that's what the weather map is telling me.
• 7:19
  But you know, the weather, weather guys don't know what's
• 7:21
  actually going on. So we'll see what happens.
• 7:23
  But yeah, it's dumping right now.
• 7:24
  I'm here, you know, another great day, Nico.
• 7:27
  It's it's always great. It's getting dark, you know, but
• 7:29
  hey, that's why we got lights and everything is great, man,
• 7:32
  everything is great. There's a plot to stop Opti
• 7:35
  that's. What I'm saying bro.

• 13:42
  In the grand scheme of things, we are just getting started.
• 13:46
  Anyways, this is the video that I wanted us to react to today.
• 13:50
  Here's Andrew Tate posting it and he says, why does this woman
• 13:55
  get to decide what information I see?
• 13:59
  This is her name is Ursula and she is the president of the
• 14:05
  European Commission. He goes on to say who the F
• 14:10
  voted for her? That's a very good question.
• 14:12
  Anyways, let's check out what she has to say in regards to
• 14:16
  information. Let's check it out.
• 14:18
  It's, it's kind of dystopian and you know, they play these word
• 14:21
  games like it's like word salad plus word games to make it seem
• 14:26
  like it's a noble cause. And you know, you need this
• 14:31
  because without this society would burn down and you know,
• 14:36
  this is very dangerous. We need these guardrails.
• 14:39
  What I would say is I think politician, I I'm going to
• 14:42
  actually borrow something from Jeff Booth because the way he,
• 14:45
  he he describes it, I think is the best way in a coercive
• 14:50
  system, in a system where money steals from you, they need to
• 14:55
  censor in order for that system to work, right?
• 14:59
  That's why in Bitcoin, you know, we're freedom of speech Maxis,
• 15:02
  we don't. It's not a coercive system, it's
• 15:04
  an incentive based system. It's a stark difference, right?
• 15:08
  So when we talk about the party of orange versus the party of
• 15:11
  green, this is definitely the party of green.
• 15:13
  This is what they want. When we say Bitcoin or slavery,
• 15:16
  this is the slavery we're talking about.
• 15:19
  The idea of slavery back in the day was this idea where you were
• 15:22
  in a chain, you know, in the Roman times, like in, in the,
• 15:27
  the early American history, right?
• 15:30
  You know, it, it was it. That's the idea of slavery that
• 15:33
  people have in their minds, right?
• 15:35
  But you have to understand that modern day slavery is kind of
• 15:39
  like this like digital dystopia type of thing where they'll
• 15:43
  control you not by directly forcing you to do things, but
• 15:48
  creating an incentive structure where if you do certain things,
• 15:52
  they punish you, right? That's what the social credit
• 15:55
  system is all about. That's why we're we are
• 15:57
  vehemently against central bank digital currencies because it's
• 16:00
  going to give the government that power to, you know,
• 16:05
  basically central in their mind, centrally planned society the
• 16:10
  way they see fit. But if history is a teacher, you
• 16:13
  know, centrally planned societies tend to suck ass and
• 16:17
  society varieties that are based on the free market where it's
• 16:21
  incentives driving people not only lead to more freedoms, but
• 16:26
  also an exponentially more amount of prosperity, right?
• 16:32
  And that's an undeniable fact. That's part of the reason that
• 16:35
  Javier Malay got elected in in Argentina.
• 16:38
  People got sick and tired of this bloke bloated bureaucracy.
• 16:42
  People wanted freedom so they can start their business.
• 16:46
  You know they can. You know the pursuit of
• 16:47
  happiness is what it's all about.
• 16:49
  Anyways, let's check out what Ursula has to say.
• 16:52
  I also believe that this is Opti's ex-girlfriend before he
• 16:57
  dated Christine Lagarde. Nika it's, it's like muted or
• 17:03
  something. It's just really low.
• 17:07
  Could you? I can't hear it at all.
• 17:10
  That is strange. Hold on.
• 17:11
  Let me try it one more time. Let me pull it up.
• 17:14
  We are doing it live. We are doing it live, ladies and
• 17:17
  gentlemen. All right, let's try that one
• 17:19
  more time. Still nothing, so maybe you want
• 17:24
  to let. Me.
• 17:27
  Read the subtitles, I'm not hearing a thing.
• 17:35
  It is not working. Really.
• 17:39
  Low. OK, that's weird.
• 17:40
  I'm gonna read the subtitles while this video plays.
• 17:43
  Here we go. And finally, it takes
• 17:47
  resilience. As technology evolves, we need
• 17:53
  to build up a societal immunity around information manipulation.
• 17:59
  I have to use the accent because research has shown that pre
• 18:05
  bunking is more successful than debunking pre dump.
• 18:12
  Pre dumping is basically the opposite of debunking.
• 18:15
  In short, prevention is preferable to cure.
• 18:20
  Perhaps if you think of information manipulation as a
• 18:23
  virus instead of treating it an infection once it is taken hold
• 18:30
  that debunking it is much better to vaccinate so that the body is
• 18:37
  inoculated. Pre bunking is the same
• 18:41
  approach. OK, so I just want to like
• 18:44
  emphasize this. And that's a shame that we don't
• 18:46
  have the actual audio from the video, just the subtitles.
• 18:51
  Pre bunking is basically saying we have to censor.
• 18:56
  We can't even allow the information to take hold.
• 18:59
  We have to we have to censor it before the fact.
• 19:02
  We have to be the arbiters of truth.
• 19:05
  Now, why is Ursula saying this? Well, it's because Elon freed
• 19:10
  the bird, right? This was an article from from
• 19:13
  8:00 December 18th, 2023. The EU takes action against Elon
• 19:19
  Musk's acts over disinformation, right?
• 19:22
  Again, you hear this word, disinformation debunking
• 19:26
  information. Now why in the world would they
• 19:29
  like why? Why would they say this?
• 19:31
  Well, I'll show you why they say this here is Walker America
• 19:36
  shot. He's the host of the Bitcoin
• 19:39
  podcast and he says you love to see these liars at the ECB get
• 19:43
  community noted an excruciating detail for spreading anti
• 19:47
  Bitcoin propaganda. The central bank desperation is
• 19:50
  is palpable right and here's the example of how Bitcoin is
• 19:55
  failing. So they make the claim the
• 19:57
  European Central Bank Bitcoin has failed to become a global
• 20:01
  decentralized digital currency, instead falling victim to fraud
• 20:05
  and manipulation. Here's a community note.
• 20:07
  Chain analysis found that only .34% of the transaction volume
• 20:11
  with cryptocurrencies in 2023 was attributed to criminal
• 20:15
  activity. Bitcoin share of this is
• 20:17
  significantly lower with 25%. Illicit transactions with EUR
• 20:22
  accounted for 1% of the E US GDP.
• 20:26
  Right, completely rebuking them in real time.
• 20:29
  If you guys want to know why Ursula is giving these speeches
• 20:33
  and using this these complex language like no, like we need
• 20:38
  to vaccinate information. It's not about debunking.
• 20:41
  It's pre bunking. We can't even have people
• 20:44
  speaking beforehand. If you want to know why they are
• 20:47
  going after Twitter, it's because of this.
• 20:50
  It's because the people now have a voice.
• 20:54
  They have a voice to Fact Check the central planners in real
• 20:59
  time. That's why they rolled out Yuval
• 21:02
  Harari. Like they rolled them out and
• 21:03
  they said, you know, Bitcoin is a currency of mistrust.
• 21:06
  I don't like it because it's a currency of mistrust.
• 21:09
  We should give more trust to governments because they've done
• 21:11
  an incredible job the last 100 years, right?
• 21:14
  They can't get away with that. If people are able to talk back,
• 21:20
  if people are able to rebuke that information immediately,
• 21:24
  instantaneously. If Elizabeth Warren isn't able
• 21:28
  to use her allies in the legacy media to try to convince the
• 21:33
  American public using the Wall Street Journal that Hamas used
• 21:37
  Bitcoin as a mechanism to launder money.
• 21:40
  Because it was literally rebuked within a day on Bitcoin Twitter.
• 21:45
  To the point that Tom Emmer in Congressional testimony got the
• 21:49
  head of fencen to admit that terrorists prefer using the
• 21:52
  traditional financial system over Bitcoin.
• 21:55
  In that environment, they can't get away with this BS.
• 21:59
  Which is why you have this crazy lady, you know, making up these
• 22:04
  words about information manipulation, saying that, you
• 22:08
  know, it, it freedom of speech is a virus, it's an infection.
• 22:12
  And we have to vaccinate it with censorship, you know, and, and
• 22:17
  coming up with these terms, coming up with these issues, you
• 22:20
  know, it's, it's like it's, it's just coming up with terms that
• 22:24
  that instills fear in people so that people give even more
• 22:29
  control to the government bureaucracies, which, as you can
• 22:34
  see by these community notes have been caught time and time
• 22:38
  again. Lying, right?
• 22:40
  It doesn't matter that it's, you know, the European Central Bank,
• 22:44
  they can lie, right? It doesn't matter that it's
• 22:46
  Elizabeth Warren. She lies all the time.
• 22:50
  Look at the community. Notes right here is where she's
• 22:54
  I think she's referencing the initial approval of the Bitcoin
• 22:57
  ETF. The SEC is wrong on the law and
• 22:59
  wrong on the policy with respect to the Bitcoin ETF.
• 23:02
  If the SEC is going to let crypto borough even deeper into
• 23:05
  our financial system, then it's more urgent than ever that
• 23:08
  crypto follow basic anti money laundering rule rules goes on to
• 23:13
  say. Here's the community note the
• 23:14
  American court decided approving Bitcoin ETF is lawful.
• 23:18
  The DC Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the SEC's rejection
• 23:22
  of Grayscales bid to convert its trust into an exchange traded
• 23:27
  fund. Here's another community note.
• 23:30
  This is this is by the way, this is a political commentary.
• 23:34
  We don't have an opinion on this.
• 23:36
  But Elizabeth Warren goes on to say the Israeli bombing of a
• 23:39
  refugee camp inside a designated safe cone, a safe zone is
• 23:42
  horrific. Israel has a duty to protect
• 23:45
  innocent civilians and Palestinians seeking shelter and
• 23:49
  and Rafa have nowhere safe to go.
• 23:53
  The community note says this year Senator Warren voted to
• 23:57
  supply Israel with $3.8 billion of weapons.
• 24:00
  So like in one hand she's like, this is horrible.
• 24:03
  On the other hand, she's voting to enabling the things that
• 24:07
  she's complaining about because she's obviously trying to pander
• 24:10
  to her voters. But at the same time, she
• 24:13
  doesn't want to vote against the bill because, you know, then,
• 24:16
  you know, the defense industry isn't going to be so nice in
• 24:19
  their in giving her donations, right?
• 24:21
  So it's like This is why, you know, people like Ursula von
• 24:25
  whatever president of the European Commission are, you
• 24:30
  know, you know, trying to, you know, scare people into thinking
• 24:34
  that somehow freedom of speech is dangerous.
• 24:38
  And the reason guys that we like to highlight all this stuff is
• 24:41
  because they're going to use or better said, they have been
• 24:44
  using the same tactics as it relates to Bitcoin.
• 24:49
  It's the same. It's the same BS.
• 24:51
  It's like over and over again. It's like unhosted wallet.
• 24:55
  You heard that one of the latest things is that they want to tie
• 24:59
  unhosted wallets to tax authorities.
• 25:02
  That's one of the things that I saw Alex Gladstein talking about
• 25:05
  lately. That's right.
• 25:06
  So they realized that they weren't going to be able to get
• 25:08
  rid of unhost or self custody. So they're like, OK, let's just
• 25:12
  move on to this. It's important that we stay on
• 25:16
  top of what's happening. And it's important to understand
• 25:20
  that you're living through information warfare, right?
• 25:24
  And you are the frontline soldiers in this warfare.
• 25:27
  Like it is up to you, the individual, not only to fight
• 25:32
  back. You can do that in the form of
• 25:33
  tweets, creating content, memes are extremely effective to
• 25:38
  highlight the bullshit. And make no mistake, it's
• 25:42
  working. If it wasn't working, you
• 25:44
  wouldn't have the European Union go out to go after Twitter and
• 25:49
  you wouldn't have the president of the European Commission going
• 25:52
  out saying, yeah, we need to pre bunk stuff, meaning we need to
• 25:56
  pre, we need to only allow content that is approved by the
• 26:00
  committee beforehand. We can't have anything else,
• 26:03
  right? So this means we're winning.
• 26:06
  We're winning hard. This, this is the
• 26:08
  disintermediation of information.
• 26:10
  It's happening in real time. Keep up the pressure and listen
• 26:14
  guys, just because you don't have a big platform, just
• 26:17
  because you don't have a big following doesn't mean that you
• 26:22
  cannot contribute to this 'cause it's not just about simply, it's
• 26:26
  not just about Bitcoin trading cards, media play.
• 26:30
  It's not just about all, you know, the other Bitcoin content
• 26:33
  creators, Bitcoin mag. It's about a combined effort.
• 26:37
  So every time you see the European Union bullshit on
• 26:41
  Twitter, make just put it, put something in the comments, you
• 26:46
  know, try to community note it if they're lying, right, get
• 26:49
  involved like this is what it's about.
• 26:51
  It's the Internet has empowered you use that power to fight back
• 26:56
  in this information warfare that we're going through because
• 26:59
  what's at stake is freedom and what world do you want to live
• 27:04
  in? What world do you want your
• 27:06
  children to live in? Do you want your children to
• 27:08
  live in a future where this lady Ursula is getting to dictate
• 27:12
  what is true and what is not true?
• 27:14
  Because if it were up to her, you know, Bitcoin miners 50%
• 27:20
  tax, you can only eat a certain amount of steak every month.
• 27:24
  You can only travel, you know, 10 minute cities.
• 27:26
  You'll own nothing and be happy. Fuck that.
• 27:29
  I don't trust her, you know, and I don't trust the European
• 27:32
  Central Bank and I don't trust Elizabeth Warren.
• 27:34
  They've caught, they've been caught time and time and time
• 27:37
  again, flat out lying to us. So it's enough is enough.
• 27:41
  It's it's time to fight. It's time to stand up, fight
• 27:45
  back and make your voices heard peacefully, of course.
• 27:48
  Anyways, Opti, what what's your take on this?
• 27:50
  And then we'll move on to Brandon.
• 27:52
  Well, you know, I know we're on YouTube, so I'll I'll kind of
• 27:56
  tone it down a little bit. But the like what she said, she
• 28:02
  said information is like a virus.
• 28:04
  And instantly I'm like, wow, like 2025's coming out right
• 28:08
  here on the on this. Video, but she's doing that on
• 28:10
  purpose, bro of Copti, she's doing that on purpose.
• 28:13
  She's like she's like she's like trying to like like trigger
• 28:16
  people in the mind. She's like, Oh my God, it's
• 28:18
  another pin information is the next information we have to
• 28:22
  vaccinate. Well, you said it, man, because
• 28:24
  that that's what I was going to say.
• 28:25
  And I'm, I'm glad we said it on the show, but I mean, I've been
• 28:29
  saying it for a while, like the brainwashing is.
• 28:31
  The unvaccinated is the unapproved information sources.
• 28:37
  That's what they're critical thinking.
• 28:39
  The new UNVAC. That's what they're saying.
• 28:41
  It's so it's absolutely bonkers. Anyways, Opti.
• 28:45
  Yeah, like the brainwashing is real.
• 28:47
  And it's really the part that really gets me.
• 28:50
  The actually there's two parts that that really get me like,
• 28:53
  you know, triggered when I hear stuff like this stuff.
• 28:55
  The first part is the idea that, like, you're too dumb to
• 29:00
  critically think of of what's the truth here.
• 29:03
  And you know, you need the institutions, you need the
• 29:06
  powers that be to tell you what's right from wrong.
• 29:09
  When I'm like, I was given a brain, I know what's right from
• 29:12
  wrong. Let me parse the information.
• 29:15
  I know, I know I'm a left side of the bell curve person, but I
• 29:18
  know what's right from wrong. And furthermore, when it comes
• 29:21
  to freedom of speech or just the the idea of having freedom of
• 29:26
  speech in society, some of the most important parts about
• 29:29
  freedom of speech is letting dumb people speak So you know
• 29:32
  that they're dumb, so you can hear the information.
• 29:34
  Be like, no, you're wrong. Like this is just flat out
• 29:36
  wrong. And I'm going to disregard
• 29:37
  everything else you're saying versus the opposite where it's
• 29:40
  like this bubble world where like, oh, you can't hear this
• 29:43
  bad information because you're gonna get corrupted and now
• 29:46
  you're going to be a bad person, you know, quote UN quote bad
• 29:49
  person. But it's just, it's really,
• 29:52
  really incredible that these people, the powers that be, the
• 29:55
  bureaucratic class, whatever you wanna call them, think that they
• 29:58
  have the, I don't know, the moral high ground to be like, we
• 30:03
  are the thought police again, I'm sure everyone's read 1984
• 30:07
  and all of the sci-fi books of the past that basically have
• 30:11
  written down the blueprint for this happening where they're
• 30:14
  like, look, you got to trust the state.
• 30:16
  We're going to give you all of the pre approved narratives and
• 30:20
  that's the real truth. And then you completely detach
• 30:23
  yourself from what is actually true.
• 30:25
  And this is where we are right now.
• 30:27
  And it really goes back to what we've been saying here on the
• 30:30
  show for a long time, that the only reason that the quote UN
• 30:33
  quote powers that be have been able to get away with everything
• 30:37
  for so long is because they've been able to monopolize, quote
• 30:40
  UN quote, the truth or monopolize the narrative.
• 30:43
  And now we've gotten to a point where because of social media,
• 30:47
  they're, they're absolutely terrified of you guys having
• 30:51
  these conversations. peer-to-peer.
• 30:52
  This is Bitcoin is not just a peer-to-peer transaction
• 30:56
  network, a peer-to-peer cash network.
• 30:57
  It's a peer-to-peer network of getting to the truth of things.
• 31:01
  And This is why they want to stop people having these
• 31:04
  conversations because they know that if you understand that
• 31:08
  these institutions have no legitimacy, that the stuff
• 31:10
  they're feeding you is absolute lies, then you realize that they
• 31:15
  like, why should we listen to them in the 1st place?
• 31:17
  These people are literally feeding you lies.
• 31:19
  And now we're supposed to believe them?
• 31:21
  Like it's absolutely incredible. And this just goes to show that
• 31:24
  the institutions, rather the trust in institutions are
• 31:27
  crumbling in real time because of their lies, because people
• 31:30
  are waking up to the lies and people are waking up to the idea
• 31:33
  that every single thing that comes out of their mouth is a
• 31:36
  lie. Whether it's a politician, a
• 31:38
  government bureaucrat, all of the stuff or NGOs, as we've been
• 31:43
  seeing in the last couple of weeks, everything they feed you
• 31:45
  is a well crafted narrative to convince you of what you already
• 31:49
  know, or rather to misdirect you from the truth.
• 31:52
  And I really love the framing, you know, pre bunking, what she
• 31:55
  said pre bunking comes before debunking.
• 31:58
  And it's like it's all lies. It's literally all lies.
• 32:01
  Let the truth be conversed about.
• 32:03
  Let us talk about ideas, whether they're bad or good.
• 32:06
  We're adults here, right? Like when do why do we need the
• 32:09
  nanny state to tell us what's true when everyone will get to
• 32:13
  the bottom of the truth? Like pain is the best teacher.
• 32:16
  And if I'm wrong, I will take those consequences myself.
• 32:19
  If I'm misguided, hey, I will wreck myself.
• 32:22
  But like we've gotten to a point where they have to bubble wrap
• 32:26
  the truth or quote UN quote the truth because they know that the
• 32:29
  trust in institutions are crumbling.
• 32:31
  So now they got to try to police speech and and we're seeing all
• 32:34
  kinds of receipts on that front where they got to stop you from
• 32:37
  talking about things. Whether they're dumb or not is
• 32:39
  besides the point. If you can't have these
• 32:41
  conversations, then you can never get to the bottom of
• 32:43
  things. And I don't know, I've always
• 32:45
  kind of considered myself a truth seeker.
• 32:47
  I just just want to know the truth.
• 32:48
  Whether I get lost in conspiracy rabbit holes or not, eventually
• 32:52
  I get to the bottom of the truth.
• 32:53
  I'm like, yeah, that was dumb. I had wasted way too much time
• 32:55
  thinking about that. Completely detached from
• 32:58
  reality. But this just proves that having
• 33:01
  these conversations online, talking with your friends and
• 33:03
  family about what you think to be the truth is one of the most
• 33:06
  powerful tools we have in our tool bag is because the truth
• 33:10
  wants to be set free and they want to control that.
• 33:13
  So just goes to the show, keep spreading the truth, keep having
• 33:16
  these conversations. Anyways, Brandon, what's up bro?
• 33:20
  Yeah, this is it's a phenomenal topic and it's it's something
• 33:22
  that again, the early adopters, the the really the bitcoiners
• 33:26
  right now. What what you see, we see the
• 33:29
  the world through. I know you guys are are big
• 33:30
  Nolan Bowerlay fans, right? The the breakup is, is
• 33:33
  phenomenal. He's really I I think he's a
• 33:35
  genius. You know, I think he the way he
• 33:36
  can kind of see the world. He's he and I know many people
• 33:39
  in here to watch Nolan and in the chat and he really has a way
• 33:44
  of kind of putting things together and bringing things
• 33:45
  together the frame he sees things in.
• 33:47
  But again, you have this world of the guys that were banning
• 33:52
  books or banning information. I don't think those people ever
• 33:54
  turned out to be the good guys. I mean, again, tell me, show me
• 33:56
  a time where those ended up being the good people in the
• 33:58
  story. And it's, it's the drowning man
• 34:01
  in the water. They feel the power slipping
• 34:02
  away. They've, they've created all
• 34:04
  the, all the stupid people that they can't stand by the way, you
• 34:08
  know, like these people cannot stand all of us.
• 34:10
  They cannot stand and, and we all you have to do is look at
• 34:13
  the Malthusians. I know Ruston's talked about
• 34:16
  this over time, right? You guys have talked about this
• 34:18
  in Malthusian, you know, Marxist nature of, of many of these
• 34:21
  people at in the unproductive class.
• 34:23
  They, they just demonly can't stand us there.
• 34:27
  We're the useful or useless eaters.
• 34:29
  We just take up space and we have to understand that.
• 34:32
  And a lot of people have been propagandized or brought up in
• 34:35
  the government education system over the last 100 years to think
• 34:38
  those thoughts. Not not outright, but they think
• 34:41
  things that aren't so right. The the famous Ronald Reagan
• 34:43
  quote of they know so much that isn't so, which is almost more
• 34:46
  dangerous than than anything, quite honestly.
• 34:49
  They can't stand these people. They've created them by
• 34:51
  destroying the money and turning it into a currency and
• 34:53
  incentivizing the chaos. Then they also at the same time
• 34:56
  wonder why everyone's going crazy just to try to come in and
• 34:58
  clean things up. I mean, the, the arson and the
• 35:00
  firefighter, right? They created the spill at the
• 35:02
  top of the river and at the factory.
• 35:04
  And then they're downstream, 10 miles, you know, Hey, guys,
• 35:07
  like, let's get some Nets. Let's get some Nets and try to,
• 35:09
  you know, sift out the oil from the river and, and try to clean
• 35:12
  it up instead of just going to the, the Fiat or going to the
• 35:15
  source and fixing the problem. We're constantly doing our
• 35:18
  things. The, the one thing I will say
• 35:20
  about this though, is that we can rail against it.
• 35:22
  And it's important obviously to, to educate people on that.
• 35:25
  But at the same time, I think it is important to empathize with
• 35:27
  these people a little bit too, actually, which is something
• 35:29
  you're not going to hear very often, especially in these
• 35:32
  circles. But you know, remember, like
• 35:33
  these people went to Ivy Leagues, they went to the
• 35:35
  Cambridge's, they went to the schools around the world where
• 35:38
  they were with their peers and they knew nothing different.
• 35:41
  You know, they're learning Marxist or Malthusian propaganda
• 35:44
  themselves. You know, the Club of Rome, you
• 35:45
  can go down the list of all these, you know, thousands of
• 35:47
  organizations that teach this, this stuff for hundreds of
• 35:50
  years. And they always have had power
• 35:52
  in their life. Maybe they came from a blood
• 35:54
  certain bloodline or whatever it is.
• 35:56
  So it is relative to them. And that's where a lot of them,
• 35:59
  the insidiousness of it is they think that they're doing good.
• 36:02
  Most of them think they're doing good actually.
• 36:04
  And and that's what I think a lot of us have to really start
• 36:06
  understanding to that effect. And that's why just yelling back
• 36:09
  and forth doesn't always work well, right?
• 36:12
  Because a lot of them think that even again, the fights, not red
• 36:15
  versus blue is the state versus you.
• 36:16
  But even you see that obviously in America from an American
• 36:19
  perspective, the red versus blue, it's people, most people
• 36:22
  on both sides sides think they're good people and think
• 36:24
  they're doing the right thing. And I think, you know, like
• 36:26
  Tucker just brought up just recently, the demons part, good
• 36:29
  versus evil. Now, me personally, I thought
• 36:31
  about this for decades and thought this really was a good
• 36:33
  versus evil thing. And, and evil has a weird way of
• 36:36
  incepting itself and, and using evil to corrupt people and
• 36:40
  corrupt society. So I think this is a large part
• 36:43
  of it. And to, to see this now
• 36:44
  happening in them unmasking themselves, really evil
• 36:47
  unmasking itself all across the world. 20 years ago, if you
• 36:50
  would have asked me as a kid when I was really into politics
• 36:52
  and really getting into stuff like this and learning about
• 36:54
  money, I would have looked you like, looked at you like you had
• 36:57
  seven eyes. And that fact that people are
• 36:59
  mainstream people, legacy media, talking heads, I mean,
• 37:02
  everywhere we look now, it's not just Bitcoin echo chambers, it's
• 37:05
  people all over the spectrum. I anecdotally have friends and
• 37:08
  family, I'm sure many of you do too, where they weren't
• 37:10
  political five years ago or they didn't know what was going on
• 37:12
  there, had their head in the sand.
• 37:13
  They didn't know anything about the monetary system.
• 37:15
  And now, I mean, you get people all over the place asking
• 37:18
  questions, which is the thing they're trying to take out,
• 37:20
  right, is just asking the question.
• 37:21
  And that's what they're trying to vilify, but they're asking
• 37:23
  questions. And to have this now, 20 years
• 37:26
  ago as a, as a kid, I would have said you were crazy that there's
• 37:29
  no way people are so lost. We're, we're going off the
• 37:32
  Cliff. And to see this happening now, I
• 37:34
  will say I, I'm more optimistic than ever because we are going
• 37:37
  the right direction directionally.
• 37:38
  I mean, some of the world might not be going the right
• 37:40
  direction, but we're asking the right questions and people are
• 37:42
  waking up. And as we've talked about many
• 37:43
  times, at the end of the day, you only need a couple percent
• 37:46
  of the people. You only need the 3%, the irate
• 37:48
  and transit minority to really make change.
• 37:50
  And that's a lot of us here today.
• 37:51
  So the future is very bright. Absolutely.
• 37:54
  I completely agree with you and and you did mention the Club of
• 37:56
  Rome, so we do have a caller coming in.
• 37:58
  Just like the Bible says, it's basically an intergalactic
• 38:01
  invasion into this space through people.
• 38:04
  I I'm telling you, it's what all the ancients said, it's what
• 38:06
  they warned of. It's what we're dealing with.
• 38:08
  They're demons all. Right, everybody, I do want to
• 38:10
  give a shout out to our sponsor of that clip.
• 38:15

• 40:39
  This is the one for you check out the passport link in the
• 40:42
  show notes below to learn more all right everybody, so let's
• 40:47
  talk about this because you guys absolutely love this topic so I
• 40:50
  did I spent like an hour and a half prepping this show to give
• 40:55
  you guys some sauce anyways. So let's talk about this, but
• 40:59
  let's talk about it in Fiat terms first, then we'll talk
• 41:02
  about it in Bitcoin terms. Then we'll talk about how
• 41:06
  there's a false equivalence between the two, and we'll talk
• 41:09
  about, most importantly, the major opportunity that is for
• 41:14
  you guys. OK, so let's start off with what
• 41:19
  is the top 1% net worth depending by age.
• 41:23
  So if you're 25 years old, it's $325,000.
• 41:27
  If you're 30, it's 1.3 million, if you're 35, it's 3.23.25
• 41:35
  million. If you're 40, it's 6.5 million.
• 41:38
  If you're 45, it's 8.5 million. If you're 55, it's alright.
• 41:43
  If you're 50 it's 9.7. If you're 55 it's 11,000,000 and
• 41:48
  basically 55 plus it ranges between 13 and $14 million.
• 41:54
  That would be that would put you in the top 1% of your age group
• 41:58
  depending on where you are in Fiat terms right now.
• 42:02
  River did an incredible job on in basically marking this in
• 42:08
  Bitcoin terms, right? So top 1%, if you're 18 to 24,
• 42:13
  it would be 9 Bitcoin right now, 25 to 29 percent 25 to 29 is 30
• 42:20
  Bitcoin 30 to 34 it's 38 Bitcoin 35 to 3969 Bitcoin 40 to 44114
• 42:29
  Bitcoin 45 to 49126 Bitcoin 50 to 54190 two 55 to 59224 sixty
• 42:39
  to 64260 sixty 5 to 69322. And then it kind of, you know,
• 42:45
  goes down from there as people retire and they start to, you
• 42:47
  know, spend their savings. So.
• 42:50
  You look at this and you're like, holy cow, I might have
• 42:52
  missed the bow, but you have to understand what's happening,
• 42:56
  right? They're pricing this based on
• 42:59
  the current Fiat value of Bitcoin.
• 43:02
  But if you take a look at the amount of millionaires, because
• 43:08
  these are the people that are going to be buying this, right?
• 43:10
  These are the people that currently hold the lion's share
• 43:13
  of the world's wealth. It kind of changes the
• 43:16
  conversation completely, right? And we also have something that
• 43:20
  I'll, I'll get to that in a second.
• 43:22
  So in the bottom half of the millionaires, 1 to $5 million is
• 43:29
  54 million. People currently have that
• 43:31
  amount of money, 5 to 5 to 10 million dollars. 5.37 million
• 43:37
  people around the world currently have that amount of
• 43:40
  money, 10 to 50 million. 2.72 million people around the world
• 43:46
  have that amount of money. Over 50 million, only 264,000
• 43:51
  people have that amount of money right now.
• 43:55
  Why am I saying this? Because if you're looking at
• 43:57
  this, you're like, OK, that's a little bit depressing, Nico, You
• 44:00
  know, 300 Bitcoin or, you know, depending on your age group,
• 44:04
  right in the 30s and your 40s, you know, maybe 38 Bitcoin is
• 44:07
  just way too much money for you these days, you know, especially
• 44:12
  if you know, you weren't buying in 2016 or 2013 for 45 to 49,
• 44:17
  it's 126 Bitcoin. Be like, oh man, you know, I
• 44:20
  missed the boat. It's kind of depressing.
• 44:22
  But you have to break down the math based on this, right?
• 44:27
  Based on the millionaire wealth ranges and the amount of
• 44:30
  millionaires in every single category.
• 44:32
  And then the math completely changes.
• 44:34
  And I'll tell you why because. If you.
• 44:37
  Break down for example evenly like if though, if in this group
• 44:43
  of people, right, if the 54,000,000 millionaires that are
• 44:48
  in between 1,000,000 to $5,000,000 net worth, if they
• 44:53
  just bought the amount of Bitcoin available, which I I
• 44:58
  always compare it to the it's really 12 million because it's
• 45:01
  12 million Bitcoin held by individuals.
• 45:04
  The rest is held by minors. 1,000,000 is law.
• 45:07
  I mean, sorry, 1,000,000 is held by Satoshi. 4,000,000 is lost
• 45:11
  the funds and ETFs, governments, you know half a million Bitcoin
• 45:16
  and to be mined about 1.4 million Bitcoin, right.
• 45:20
  So I really put in just the 12 number, right, 12 million
• 45:23
  Bitcoin that are available to buy from individuals.
• 45:26
  If you divide 12 million Bitcoin by 54,000,000 individuals,
• 45:32
  right? You know the same individuals
• 45:34
  that are in the category of 1,000,000 to $5 million.
• 45:38
  Worth of wealth. This is where it gets really
• 45:40
  interesting. It's only .22 Bitcoin if you
• 45:44
  were to divide that evenly, if you go down to the next
• 45:48
  category, 5.4 million people with a net worth of 5 million to
• 45:52
  $10 million, and you divide 12 million Bitcoin by that 5.4
• 45:58
  million people, you'd get 2.22 Bitcoin per person, right?
• 46:03
  So that's a completely different story than what this is saying.
• 46:07
  And why is it showing you these numbers?
• 46:10
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's because people haven't woken up
• 46:14
  to the reality that Bitcoin is a superior asset.
• 46:17
  This is your opportunity, right? This, this one's a little bit
• 46:21
  dated. Currently the market cap of
• 46:23
  Bitcoin's about 1.3, but this stays the same, right?
• 46:26
  I think gold's market cap went up to 15 trillion, Art 18
• 46:30
  trillion collectible, 6 trillion, equities 115 trillion,
• 46:33
  real estate, 330 trillion, bonds, 300 trillion, money, 100
• 46:37
  trillion. And what the case is over the
• 46:41
  next couple of years slash decade is that all the assets
• 46:46
  that are in these boxes right here, they're going to flow into
• 46:51
  Bitcoin because Bitcoin is the superior asset.
• 46:54
  And that's where your opportunity lies.
• 46:57
  And this is what this is showing, right, is that these
• 47:00
  people have not yet woken up to the fact that Bitcoin exists.
• 47:06
  Because if if they did, you know, they would, they would
• 47:09
  probably have a lot more Bitcoin.
• 47:11
  The price would be a lot higher by now, making it out of reach
• 47:14
  of most people. So anyways, moving on to the
• 47:17
  next category, 2.75 million people with a net worth of 10
• 47:22
  million to 50 million dollars. 12 million Bitcoin divided by
• 47:27
  2.7 million = 4.36 Bitcoin for that category of people.
• 47:33
  If you were divided evenly and then 250,000 people with over
• 47:39
  $50 million net worth, if you were to divide 12 million
• 47:42
  Bitcoin by 250,000, you'd get roughly 48 Bitcoin per person,
• 47:48
  right? Just to kind of give you an
• 47:50
  idea, right? And I'll go back to the first,
• 47:54
  the first one. There's more millionaires right
• 47:58
  now on planet earth then there are Bitcoin.
• 48:02
  And if you subtract the 4 million that are estimated to be
• 48:06
  lost, do the math guys. Like it's, it's like simple
• 48:10
  math, like if every single millionaire, I'm not talking
• 48:13
  about someone who's worth 5 million or 10 million or 50
• 48:16
  million, just every single millionaire wanted to buy one
• 48:19
  Bitcoin. They physically could not.
• 48:22
  They could only buy a portion of a Bitcoin.
• 48:25
  And that's where the opportunity lies.
• 48:28
  That is where you have a major opportunity because people of
• 48:33
  these net worths have not woken up to the fact that Bitcoin is
• 48:38
  the superior asset. So in denominated, if you were
• 48:43
  to to denominate in, in dollar terms, this is how things would
• 48:46
  be broken down. But this is assuming that all
• 48:51
  these people that are worth, you know, ten, $15 million are
• 48:55
  holding the majority of their wealth in Bitcoin.
• 48:58
  That's not the case yet because if not, obviously the market cap
• 49:01
  of Bitcoin would be a lot bigger compared to these different
• 49:06
  asset classes, which Bitcoin is superior to.
• 49:09
  I mean, you had a public company go out on record yesterday, the
• 49:14
  second public company that's publicly traded on the NASDAQ,
• 49:18
  similar scientific. They literally said in the press
• 49:22
  release, Bitcoin is superior to gold and gold is about 10X where
• 49:27
  Bitcoin's current price is. You know, it, it doesn't take a
• 49:31
  rocket scientist to put that together, right?
• 49:34
  Anyways, so let's kind of look into the future and you know,
• 49:40
  bring it down to earth a little bit and let's look at the 1% of
• 49:44
  Bitcoin holders with current Bitcoin holders, right?
• 49:49
  So this is one of the best, you know, things that I've seen put
• 49:53
  together. Currently it would take you out
• 49:55
  15 Bitcoin to be in the 1%. It currently take you 89 Bitcoin
• 50:00
  to be in the point 1%. It would take you 215 Bitcoin to
• 50:04
  be in the .03%. It currently take you 433
• 50:09
  Bitcoin to be in the .01%. It currently take you .003% to
• 50:14
  be in the IT they take you 2189 Bitcoin to be in the .003% and
• 50:21
  it would take you 7000 Bitcoin to be in the .001%.
• 50:26
  Also. Here is an excellent, you know,
• 50:29
  chart as well, and it just has all kind of the categories,
• 50:32
  right. So a fish.
• 50:34
  Has someone A fish is someone who has between 50 to 100
• 50:37
  Bitcoin. There's currently about 11,000
• 50:40
  fish. Dolphin is between someone that
• 50:42
  has 100 to 500 Bitcoin, there's currently about 10,000 of them.
• 50:47
  Sharks there's only about 1500 sharks and it takes 500 to 1000
• 50:52
  Bitcoin to be in that category. A whale is someone who has 1000
• 50:56
  to 5000 Bitcoin. There's roughly estimated only
• 50:59
  to be 2000 of those individuals. A humpback.
• 51:02
  A humpback whale like someone like Michael Saylor.
• 51:05
  There's. It's.
• 51:06
  Estimated that there's only 220 of those individuals.
• 51:10
  Of course, this isn't talking about asset managers like
• 51:12
  BlackRock, this is talking about individuals, right?
• 51:16
  So if you Add all these together, right, I'm doing like
• 51:20
  rough math off the top of my head, it's roughly 25,000 people
• 51:24
  that fit into this category. Once Bitcoin hits 1,000,000 per
• 51:28
  coin, all of a sudden, guess what, everybody, the Bitcoiners
• 51:33
  are going to have a, a nice chunk of that percentage of
• 51:39
  total millionaires with a net worth of over 50 million N plus,
• 51:43
  right? It's a very kind of interesting
• 51:45
  observation. And then of course, you know,
• 51:48
  this wouldn't be simply Bitcoin without some memes.
• 51:51
  And I think this is one of the best memes I've ever seen in
• 51:54
  regards to where you stack up in the the Bitcoin citadel.
• 52:00
  And I absolutely love it. And you know, I'm going to keep
• 52:03
  saying it. So the the no coiner is someone
• 52:06
  with .0001 Bitcoin. The the rope, the cope, the
• 52:11
  hope. The suicide stack is one
• 52:14
  Bitcoin. The break it stack is five
• 52:16
  Bitcoin. The make it stack is between
• 52:18
  5:00 and 10:00 Bitcoin. Generational wealth is
• 52:21
  considered 10 Bitcoin. The Dukes have 50 Bitcoin.
• 52:25
  The kings have 100 Bitcoin. The emperors have 1000 Bitcoin.
• 52:29
  The whale stack and then these guys on the top with 10,000
• 52:34
  Bitcoin. But you know, times have
• 52:36
  changed. The price of Bitcoin has gone
• 52:38
  up. If you're from one of the newer
• 52:41
  classes, I think, I think things have changed a little bit.
• 52:45
  So the Bitcoin pleb is someone that has .01 Bitcoin or less.
• 52:49
  The Bitcoin soldier is someone who has .01 to .25.
• 52:53
  The Bitcoin mercenary is someone who has someone who has .25 to
• 52:57
  .5 Bitcoin. The Bitcoin yield man is someone
• 53:00
  who has .5 to one Bitcoin, the Bitcoin knight one to three
• 53:04
  Bitcoin, the Bitcoin Baron three to 10 Bitcoin.
• 53:07
  The Bitcoin lowered 10 to 2910 to 20.99 Bitcoin and the Bitcoin
• 53:14
  king 21 Bitcoin or above. And that would put you in a very
• 53:18
  special club having those 21 million Bitcoin.
• 53:21
  I mean, sorry, those 21 Bitcoin anyways, the last thing I want
• 53:25
  to end it to end it with is where we are going because we
• 53:29
  have to kind of think long term. I said all of that.
• 53:33
  Maybe you guys just like don't even come close, you know, to
• 53:36
  these crazy numbers. One coin right now is $68,000
• 53:40
  and you're like, Nico, this is absolutely crazy.
• 53:43
  You know, the, the, the ship has sailed.
• 53:45
  You know, I don't know, I don't know how I'm going to stack up
• 53:48
  to this, but what I always want to reference is Bitcoin has no
• 53:55
  top because Fiat is going to continue to inflate forever.
• 54:00
  And what you want isn't necessarily more Fiat.
• 54:03
  That's kind of like a SIOP. What you actually want is more
• 54:07
  purchasing power. And if you live on a Bitcoin
• 54:10
  standard, your purchasing power will continue to increase
• 54:15
  forever. And that's the signal.
• 54:18
  And this is a great chart by Luke Broyles and he's made
• 54:22
  basically making the case that this is, he's basically making
• 54:27
  the case that this is, you know, where people would line up after
• 54:32
  hyper bitcoinization, after Bitcoin becomes the world
• 54:35
  reserve asset. And then the numbers are a lot
• 54:38
  more surprising, right? So for you to be a a nation of
• 54:42
  mega rich you know entity you need about 140,000 Bitcoin.
• 54:48
  For you to be considered a multi billionaire small nation you
• 54:51
  need 8000 Bitcoin. For you to be a billionaire
• 54:54
  slash mega corporation you need 120 Bitcoin.
• 54:57
  For you to be a multi millionaire slash large
• 54:59
  corporation you need 10 Bitcoin. For you to be a millionaire you
• 55:04
  need 6.06 Bitcoin. Upper middle class .008.
• 55:11
  Middle class .001, lower middle class .0004, lower class .0002
• 55:22
  and you know, and then it goes on to poverty.
• 55:25
  So right here according to this chart, you want to be a
• 55:28
  millionaire in the future. You know, 6,000,000 Satoshi's
• 55:32
  all it takes you is .06 Bitcoin today.
• 55:36
  And if that seems implausible, if that seems like totally
• 55:40
  unbelievable, this is going under the assumption, of course
• 55:45
  that we reach how Finney's, you know, famous prediction of, I
• 55:49
  think it's like 10 million per Bitcoin and today's purchasing
• 55:52
  power is. Does that seem unconceivable?
• 55:55
  No, it doesn't seem unconceivable at all because I
• 55:58
  always reference what has happened in the past.
• 56:03
  If you take a look at the famous Andreas video where it was like
• 56:07
  one of the first Bitcoin conference and he's literally
• 56:09
  just giving a speech to sorry about that.
• 56:11
  He's giving a speech to a room full of just, it's an empty
• 56:15
  people. It's just there's, there's no
• 56:16
  one in the room. The price of Bitcoin was only
• 56:18
  $100. Can you imagine how much people
• 56:23
  would be in that room if they knew that, you know, 10 years
• 56:28
  later, the price of Bitcoin was going to be at $68,000 from
• 56:34
  $100. It would be, you know, people
• 56:38
  wouldn't believe it, which is why this is your opportunity.
• 56:43
  Because if you're denominating in Fiat, look at this, it's like
• 56:47
  300 Bitcoin. That's a lot.
• 56:49
  You know, if you're you're 40 or 45114 a 126 Bitcoin, that's a
• 56:54
  lot of Bitcoin these days, right?
• 56:58
  The thing is that these individuals haven't woken up to
• 57:02
  that yet, and when they wake. Up.
• 57:04
  Just to kind of give you an idea, there is literally not
• 57:07
  enough Bitcoin for them to buy. There's literally not enough
• 57:11
  Bitcoin to go around. So if you want to be in the
• 57:15
  elite class, really like right here, look .22.
• 57:20
  If Bitcoin hits $10 million per coin, which which I think it
• 57:23
  will inevitably do because inevitably does, because it's
• 57:26
  Infinity divided by 21 million, you know, according to Luke
• 57:30
  Burrows's report, you only need .06.
• 57:33
  So I know it sounds inconceivable, but it sounded
• 57:38
  totally inconceivable that Bitcoin went from a dollar to
• 57:42
  $100 to $1000 to $20,000. Just like it seems inconceivable
• 57:49
  today that Bitcoin eventually is going to hit a million and then
• 57:54
  Bitcoin eventually will hit 10 million.
• 57:57
  That sounds inconceivable today. Just like it sounded completely
• 58:01
  inconceivable five years ago, 10 years ago, where we are today,
• 58:06
  right? And that's something to
• 58:08
  remember. So yeah, I still think that
• 58:11
  there's a tremendous amount of opportunity.
• 58:14
  But I do want to emphasize this, and I don't think I've ever said
• 58:16
  this on simply Bitcoin before. The window is slowly closing for
• 58:21
  you to become a whole coiner, $68,000 is a lot of money.
• 58:27
  That's more than the average salary of, you know, of an
• 58:30
  American, which is, you know, one of the highest paid
• 58:32
  countries in the world in terms of individuals.
• 58:35
  So, you know, I, I would go on to say that I would say this is
• 58:40
  your last epoch for that type of opportunity because, you know,
• 58:44
  once we're in the six figures, man, like it's going to be very
• 58:48
  hard to stack a whole coin. Doesn't mean the opportunity's
• 58:51
  lost, doesn't mean the opportunity's gone.
• 58:53
  I'm going to be buying Bitcoin in the millions of dollars.
• 58:55
  Because if not, what am I just going to be holding my money in
• 58:59
  something that's like a melting ice cube?
• 59:01
  So yeah, man, I hope you guys found this valuable.
• 59:05
  I know that you guys really enjoy when we cover these
• 59:08
  topics. So I spent a lot of time working
• 59:11
  on this this morning. And Opti, what did you think
• 59:14
  about it, brother? Well, first and foremost, Nico,
• 59:17
  I do have to correct you a little bit.
• 59:19
  You keep saying that there's not enough Bitcoin, and I would
• 59:22
  disagree. There's always enough Bitcoin.
• 59:24
  You're just going to have to pay a higher price for it.
• 59:26
  So hey, it is what it is. What's the meme?
• 59:28
  You you get Bitcoin at the price you deserve.
• 59:31
  But anyways, I'm really glad we got these new updated numbers by
• 59:36
  River. Not only do they, I mean, first
• 59:39
  of all, they seem kind of ridiculous, I'm not going to
• 59:41
  lie. Like a 20 year old with 20
• 59:42
  Bitcoin or whatever. Like that's crazy.
• 59:44
  I know you don't understand. I know, I know.
• 59:46
  I know what it's saying. I know what it's saying.
• 59:48
  It's. Like in the net worth of Fiat?
• 59:50
  I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
• 59:52
  But just think of it. A 20 year old with 20 Bitcoin
• 59:55
  right now, like that would be that would be nuts.
• 59:58
  Yeah. Like that, Yeah.
• 59:59
  That'd be incredible. Incredible.
• 1:00:01
  Anyways, moving forward I think. Kind of going back to, and I'm
• 1:00:08
  glad that we do this because of course we're all still Fiat
• 1:00:11
  programmed and we're all still kind of in the Fiat rat race and
• 1:00:14
  we all want more dollars and stuff.
• 1:00:16
  But while you were doing this, I did do a little quick Google
• 1:00:19
  search and here I can pull this up so people can see it as well.
• 1:00:23
  This bit is talking about. And then we constantly do this
• 1:00:26
  for people talking about getting into the 1% of of, you know,
• 1:00:31
  wealth in regards to, you know, being at the top.
• 1:00:34
  But I find it very interesting that when you go to just like
• 1:00:36
  what the average savings is or the median saving by age, like
• 1:00:40
  it's not that much money. Like people aren't saving any
• 1:00:43
  money. And the reason I'm bringing this
• 1:00:45
  up, you know, and for the audio listeners under age 35, the
• 1:00:47
  average savings about $20,000. If you're in the 35 to 44 range,
• 1:00:52
  it's like $41,000.45 to 5471 thousand, et cetera, et cetera,
• 1:00:56
  where age is 70 plus is around $82,000.
• 1:00:59
  And then the median savings is even lower than that.
• 1:01:02
  Like people are not saving any money.
• 1:01:04
  And that's because of how the Fiat system design, everyone's
• 1:01:08
  incentivized to just spend their dollars as quickly as possible.
• 1:01:11
  So I, I brought all that up to kind of, you know, and I really
• 1:01:14
  like the, the last numbers you put there, Nico, because it
• 1:01:17
  makes it seem a little more attainable for everyone to
• 1:01:21
  elevate their position in society.
• 1:01:22
  And you don't need as much Bitcoin as you probably need
• 1:01:25
  moving forward, especially with the how Bitcoin goes up forever.
• 1:01:30
  Like it's going to basically take less Bitcoin to hit those
• 1:01:32
  numbers, which is the beauty of Bitcoin.
• 1:01:35
  And I find it very interesting when we talk about this stuff
• 1:01:40
  because I always say, and you know, shouts at the CK because
• 1:01:43
  he, he's got the mean, you know, 32 SAT to generational wealth.
• 1:01:47
  And I, I always kind of bring this back to a very simple idea
• 1:01:51
  that I, I fundamentally believe that any amount of Bitcoin that
• 1:01:55
  we hold today will be in a substantial amount of wealth in
• 1:01:58
  1020, thirty years from now as this game starts to play out.
• 1:02:02
  So as much as we like to, and, and this might be bad framing,
• 1:02:06
  you know, play the Fiat games and try to get into the high net
• 1:02:09
  worth and, and be in the 1% set, you know, be able to claim that
• 1:02:12
  idea that like I'm 1% wealth earner or wealth saver in the
• 1:02:15
  world. I think it's very important to
• 1:02:17
  remember that any amount of SAT stats that we save today moving
• 1:02:20
  forward are going to be a substantial amount of wealth.
• 1:02:24
  And the point is to get off 0 is to start saving in Bitcoin
• 1:02:28
  because most people have no savings period.
• 1:02:31
  So of course. Opti opti hold on, I have I have
• 1:02:35
  to show this man because like this is like.
• 1:02:39
  Which one are you? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:41
  Like .22 Bitcoin, like if every millionaire right now on planet
• 1:02:47
  Earth, right? That's like, you know, if every
• 1:02:50
  millionaire on planet Earth right now, it was divided
• 1:02:53
  evenly, those 12, that 12 million, because it would never
• 1:02:56
  happen, it would never be divided evenly.
• 1:02:58
  It would, it would be .22 Bitcoin per millionaire.
• 1:03:03
  Like I mean, bro, look in between the category of people
• 1:03:07
  that are worth 5 to $10 million, it'd be 2.22 Bitcoin, right?
• 1:03:13
  That this one, the .22 that's totally attainable.
• 1:03:17
  If you work hard, you put your head down, you save, that's
• 1:03:20
  totally attainable. And now you are in a very, very
• 1:03:23
  like, man that, that's elite, bro, right?
• 1:03:27
  So I, I mean, I, I, I gotta say opportunity, the opportunity's
• 1:03:31
  still there, man. It's 100%.
• 1:03:32
  People got to put their head down.
• 1:03:33
  We've been saying this since the price of Bitcoin was below 10K.
• 1:03:37
  We've been saying the same exact message, you know. 100% and then
• 1:03:42
  just just adding to the end of this, like I think the goal for
• 1:03:46
  everyone has always been just hold on to one Bitcoin.
• 1:03:50
  I love the meme of get to 2.1 Bitcoin.
• 1:03:52
  That's 110 millionth of the total Bitcoin supply.
• 1:03:57
  Like I think those are very attainable goals for most
• 1:03:59
  people. But holding one Bitcoin I'm
• 1:04:01
  convinced will eventually be generational wealth.
• 1:04:05
  They'll be life changing money. Especially when you consider the
• 1:04:07
  $900 trillion that have to fight for the total market cap of
• 1:04:11
  Bitcoin. I think it's, it's very
• 1:04:13
  important to realize that these numbers are very attainable.
• 1:04:16
  And all you really got to do is just be consistent, stack
• 1:04:18
  Bitcoin and keep going. And then, you know, just kind of
• 1:04:22
  trolling a little bit. The new millionaire's a SAT
• 1:04:23
  millionaire, guys. You just need a million stats
• 1:04:25
  and you're already a millionaire.
• 1:04:26
  And I, I don't know what that price is right now, but it's
• 1:04:28
  what like $600.00. So it's very attainable to be a
• 1:04:32
  millionaire in today's day and age.
• 1:04:33
  All you need is 1,000,000 sats. Someone someone had a really
• 1:04:36
  really interesting comment in the chat.
• 1:04:38
  I want to address it like no it would not.
• 1:04:41
  If all millionaires bought tomorrow, the margin price of
• 1:04:43
  Bitcoin would be 1000 X. That's the point I'm making guys
• 1:04:47
  is that it is literally a tiny. Like compared to all the rest of
• 1:04:52
  the asset classes where these millionaires have their assets
• 1:04:55
  parked in Bitcoin is a tiny speck.
• 1:04:59
  What do you think is going to happen when they realize that
• 1:05:02
  Bitcoin is the better place to point put their money?
• 1:05:06
  This is why I'm showing it to you right now.
• 1:05:07
  You have the opportunity. When we first started talking
• 1:05:10
  about this, it would have, you know it .22 Bitcoin would have
• 1:05:13
  cost you a couple $1000, right? So that's the opportunity.
• 1:05:19
  If everyone knew about this, the opportunity would be gone.
• 1:05:22
  If those millionaires that were worth 5 to 10 million or $50
• 1:05:27
  million plus, if they actually understood Bitcoin, the
• 1:05:31
  opportunity would be gone. This is what we're trying to
• 1:05:34
  highlight for you guys. Anyways, Brandon, what's your
• 1:05:36
  take on this? And we'll move on to the
• 1:05:38
  culture. Yeah, I'm going to, I agree with
• 1:05:41
  you guys. Well, hardly.
• 1:05:42
  I'm going to try to I'm going to attempt to bring this all
• 1:05:45
  together with what you guys are, are saying.
• 1:05:48
  So, you know, like it's it's hard because we we think of
• 1:05:50
  things in Fiat term still, because that's all we've ever
• 1:05:52
  known all of us in an inflationary system.
• 1:05:54
  And it's, that's what we have right where we don't live in the
• 1:05:56
  future. So it's, it's tough to project
• 1:05:59
  and, and so I'll, I'll try to touch on it and come to a point
• 1:06:02
  here with what you guys are both saying.
• 1:06:03
  So the system gets cheaper. So it's it, I know some people
• 1:06:06
  get, you know, I, I can't get this amount or I can't get that
• 1:06:09
  amount, but the system gets cheaper.
• 1:06:10
  Even if you didn't own any Bitcoin.
• 1:06:12
  I mean, as, as life goes forward, I mean, come to a
• 1:06:15
  Bitcoin standard and, and hyper bitcoinization, we all benefit.
• 1:06:19
  That's the beauty of this. You, you, you just need a little
• 1:06:21
  bit or again, even if you don't have any energy costs are coming
• 1:06:24
  down, food costs come down, housing comes down.
• 1:06:27
  And again, someone might say, well, if I don't have any
• 1:06:29
  Bitcoin, then how am I going to buy those things?
• 1:06:31
  Well, even look at it from a perspective of people, that's
• 1:06:35
  living standards, but also the life force not being sucked out
• 1:06:38
  of you. You're able to have a people
• 1:06:41
  have a more fulfilling life. So that way there's not as much
• 1:06:44
  violence in the street, there's not as much homelessness.
• 1:06:46
  There's not as many of these things going on.
• 1:06:48
  There's less divorces, There's, there's less craziness going on
• 1:06:51
  in the world, less angst, less war.
• 1:06:53
  There's all these things that we that Fiat causes that we don't
• 1:06:57
  even realize. Most of us don't realize that
• 1:06:59
  those things are happening. And that's where the average
• 1:07:01
  person who doesn't even own Bitcoin gets to benefit from
• 1:07:04
  those things moving forward. And the Bitcoiners, the people
• 1:07:07
  of the world that start gaining that power, they're rebuilding
• 1:07:09
  society, they're building Citadel's, they're building new
• 1:07:11
  cities. And we've already seen that.
• 1:07:13
  I mean, shoot, we've already seen Trump.
• 1:07:14
  I think it was Trump or Elon or whatever it was like the, the
• 1:07:16
  freedom cities and talking about this the last like four years
• 1:07:19
  and literally new cities will be built with, with bitcoiners
• 1:07:22
  because they will have the wealth.
• 1:07:24
  Ironically, they're going to be the ones that have the wealth,
• 1:07:26
  the Lords, the barons, all the, the, the different memes and
• 1:07:28
  different graphics you guys are showing.
• 1:07:30
  And it leads me to, you know, and so the butterfly effect, it
• 1:07:34
  ripples both ways, both positively and negatively.
• 1:07:36
  So Fiat ripples negative. And then this the sound money
• 1:07:39
  world, true sound money ripples positive.
• 1:07:41
  So again, we talked about Nolan Bauerle earlier and you guys
• 1:07:44
  were talking about that this week and I believe it was
• 1:07:46
  yesterday about how fast this really goes.
• 1:07:48
  And Nolan was talking about the the 4 Chan post from like 10
• 1:07:51
  years ago that referred to TS Eliot's poem Holloman.
• 1:07:55
  And it was saying like, hey, this, you know, this civil war
• 1:07:58
  is not going to happen how we think it's going to happen.
• 1:08:00
  It's not going to be people dragging each other in the
• 1:08:02
  street killing people and stuff like that.
• 1:08:04
  It's just going to be, you know, years of divorces and government
• 1:08:07
  corruption and families breaking apart.
• 1:08:08
  And you know what? They don't even, they don't even
• 1:08:10
  really care about being a family anymore.
• 1:08:12
  Actually, what we've lived, this isn't gonna play out going
• 1:08:14
  forward. It might for a few more years or
• 1:08:16
  a few more months or whatever it is, but we're at the end of
• 1:08:19
  that. We've, we've lived that again.
• 1:08:20
  We, you guys referenced it. Many of us referenced the WTF
• 1:08:23
  happened in 1971. We've been living that the last
• 1:08:26
  50 years, that exact 4 Chan post about TS Eliot's poem.
• 1:08:29
  We've been living it. You know, we've been living in
• 1:08:31
  the civil war in the, in the, the war that most people don't
• 1:08:34
  even realize that they're in the Fiat war.
• 1:08:36
  And that's the, the thing that's coming to an end.
• 1:08:39
  And Bitcoin almost signifies the end of that in a way.
• 1:08:41
  Like, just like Bitcoin was the end of the trying to figure out,
• 1:08:44
  you know, finite, digital finite, you know, scarcity.
• 1:08:47
  We, we had that. It's not the beginning.
• 1:08:49
  It's like, oh, hey, we all, all these altcoins now.
• 1:08:51
  Now we're going to try to reinvent fire that this was like
• 1:08:53
  100 years or whatever it was 508090 years in the making of
• 1:08:57
  trying to figure out this encryption process and trying to
• 1:08:59
  make this. I mean, Henry Ford thought about
• 1:09:02
  this and talked about this, for crying out loud.
• 1:09:03
  So we're at the end at the end cycle.
• 1:09:06
  We're at that true 4th turning where, you know, Cameron
• 1:09:08
  McGregor always talks about the age of abundance and the age of
• 1:09:11
  scarcity. We're leaving the age of
• 1:09:12
  abundance. We're going into the age of
• 1:09:14
  scarcity where masculinity comes back into play, which again, we
• 1:09:18
  can talk about testosterone or things of that nature where
• 1:09:20
  you're using a human with a more testosterone.
• 1:09:23
  They have just science. If you believe the science, it's
• 1:09:26
  you're generally using more logic and less emotion.
• 1:09:29
  And as as someone like Robert Kiyosaki always talks about or
• 1:09:32
  certain people out there, when emotions go up, intelligence
• 1:09:34
  goes down. Now there's different levels of
• 1:09:36
  that, right? Because we're all emotional
• 1:09:37
  creatures, whether you're man or woman, but you start seeing this
• 1:09:40
  kind of swing, this pendulum, come back to a society where
• 1:09:43
  there's more scarcity, we're building more community.
• 1:09:45
  We have things like the, the, the ice rig is truly going to
• 1:09:48
  flip. In my opinion.
• 1:09:49
  It's the true gradually. Then suddenly, because we're
• 1:09:51
  near the end, we're not at the beginning of like, oh, we're
• 1:09:53
  going to have 100 years of like chaos and civil war and stuff
• 1:09:56
  like that. We've been living through it.
• 1:09:58
  We've been living through the mass of, like you said, divorce
• 1:10:00
  and families ripping apart and all these different crazy things
• 1:10:03
  have been going on. Wars, endless wars and the
• 1:10:05
  gerontocracy leaving power. I mean, you think about these
• 1:10:08
  things again, the things you guys have talked about for a
• 1:10:10
  long time and bitcoins have talked about, but the
• 1:10:12
  gerontocracy leaving power, the demographics changing.
• 1:10:15
  I mean, is and any younger person under 40 gonna be.
• 1:10:17
  Oh, yeah, yeah, I definitely want 401 Ki definitely want
• 1:10:19
  Social Security. These things are bankrupt, you
• 1:10:21
  know, so like that, that those things are huge.
• 1:10:24
  And when nations realize that they will this, this process,
• 1:10:28
  which you guys just outlined in the last day or two on the show,
• 1:10:31
  they will print themselves into oblivion trying to get every
• 1:10:34
  last Bitcoin. And who are they going to be
• 1:10:36
  buying from? They're buying it from all of
• 1:10:38
  us. So now your purchasing power is
• 1:10:40
  going up and great. Print it, print it into oblivion
• 1:10:42
  and, and buy as much as you can from us.
• 1:10:44
  And, and we will become the ones They will seal their own fate.
• 1:10:47
  The, the, the legacy nation state will seal their own fate
• 1:10:50
  by us selling off eventually to, to them.
• 1:10:54
  And then we will accrue the power.
• 1:10:56
  We will become the Lords, the barons, the kings, and then we
• 1:10:58
  defund the state, you know, and it naturally has people that are
• 1:11:01
  in the right mind, in their right mind now working in in
• 1:11:04
  leading things. And like Optus, I'll finish with
• 1:11:06
  this trying to bring us all together here and land on the
• 1:11:08
  plane. Opti, you said the nation states
• 1:11:09
  again, paying higher prices. Remember though to use that
• 1:11:12
  capital though to do good things with it, right?
• 1:11:14
  Build Citadel's your, your, you know, whatever it is housing for
• 1:11:17
  people. Like we said, even if you don't
• 1:11:19
  own the Bitcoin, this is where the Bitcoin or ethos comes in.
• 1:11:21
  True volunteerism or being charitable where you now have
• 1:11:24
  that wealth, do something with it.
• 1:11:26
  You can still make more Bitcoin. You don't need to just sell it
• 1:11:28
  off and now and now I'm done with it.
• 1:11:30
  Do this is the the legacy investing mindset of like a
• 1:11:32
  Robert Kiyosaki in a sense where you're doing something with that
• 1:11:35
  Bitcoin, something productive. Now we are we are trading it for
• 1:11:39
  whatever it is, a a multi family apartment complex.
• 1:11:41
  You're you're doing things to now earn more Bitcoin or could
• 1:11:44
  be Fiat, earn more Fiat to turn it back into Bitcoin if we're
• 1:11:46
  not there yet. But I hope that kind of makes
• 1:11:49
  sense there at the end. But then like you said, Nico,
• 1:11:51
  every dollar, last thing I'll say, Nico, is like you hit the
• 1:11:53
  nail on the head as well that every dollar you spend right
• 1:11:56
  now, you could have invested in a Bitcoin and that will be 100X
• 1:12:00
  or 200X or 1000 X in the future in Bitcoin terms.
• 1:12:03
  So just remember every dollar you're spending now could have
• 1:12:05
  been invested in Bitcoin and could be 100 X 200,000 X for,
• 1:12:09
  for what it is today. Here we go.
• 1:12:11
  I know we're going to the culture and we're running late.
• 1:12:13
  But I. I have to say something here.
• 1:12:16
  I will be a benevolent Lord, and you guys could call me Lord
• 1:12:19
  Opti. Very, very, you know, all gold,
• 1:12:23
  everything. All go to everything.
• 1:12:26
  Casually just call me Lord Opti. Not my full name, just.
• 1:12:30
  It's no longer optimist fields. It is Lord Opti.
• 1:12:34
  All right, everybody, before we go down to the culture to talk.
• 1:12:37
  About what? Brandon is working.
• 1:12:38

  Opti, let's go, OK. All.
• 1:14:39
  Right, this is. This is where the fun parts
• 1:14:41
  happen. All right, Brandon, you're also
• 1:14:44
  a fellow content creator. You do work for Bitcoin trading
• 1:14:48
  cards. But I do know that there's a
• 1:14:50
  conversation you did want to talk about today and you kind of
• 1:14:53
  touched on it in the last bit. It's the idea of how fast is
• 1:14:59
  this going to happen. And I, I want to connect this
• 1:15:03
  with another topic that I know is very, very important to you
• 1:15:05
  is Bitcoin and family. So let's start with how long do
• 1:15:09
  you think this is going to happen And and you kind of
• 1:15:11
  touched on it earlier and then, of course, like building things
• 1:15:15
  and creating things and being a part of the change we want to
• 1:15:17
  see. So Brandon platforms are yours,
• 1:15:19
  bro. Let's get an awesome Brandon
• 1:15:21
  rant here. Oh, again, thank you guys so
• 1:15:24
  much for having me on. I know we've.
• 1:15:25
  Been running along. There's a lot to get to.
• 1:15:27
  And yeah, family obviously is number one most important.
• 1:15:30
  And again, we touch on the Malthusians and Marxists, all
• 1:15:32
  these things. And that's the, that's the
• 1:15:35
  genesis of a lot of what's going on, especially the last 100
• 1:15:38
  years, century, century and a half of attacking the family.
• 1:15:41
  And yes, I've been a wife or kids.
• 1:15:43
  You guys got to meet them last or yes, last week or we Canadian
• 1:15:46
  Bitcoin conference, which is it was awesome.
• 1:15:48
  They got to finally meet a bunch of, of people they've heard
• 1:15:50
  about, you know, friends and stuff like that.
• 1:15:52
  So it was, it was super cool. And it leads into why I left
• 1:15:56
  real estate a couple years ago, doing real estate, you know, for
• 1:15:59
  1012 years and investing in real estate.
• 1:16:01
  And I, I knew I'd be, needed to be in the Bitcoin space and, and
• 1:16:04
  mind educator. I've always been an educator at
• 1:16:06
  heart and, you know, just kind of went through years of trying
• 1:16:09
  to educate people in the real estate space and what money was
• 1:16:13
  and all these things after I left professional hockey 12
• 1:16:15
  years ago. And you know, you just you, you
• 1:16:18
  start. It was diminishing my business
• 1:16:20
  at that time because people are like, what do you do?
• 1:16:21
  Like you're like educating on like gold and silver and like
• 1:16:23
  all these different things. You know, this is 10/8 years
• 1:16:25
  ago, 10 years ago when I was really fully orange peeled and
• 1:16:28
  what are real rates and all these different things.
• 1:16:30
  And, and so the people they're like, what do you do?
• 1:16:32
  Like, do you do real estate? Are you an investor?
• 1:16:34
  You know, so it's, it was became very clear over time that I was
• 1:16:37
  in the wrong place and I really needed to educate people and
• 1:16:40
  that was the big thing. So, you know, working on, on,
• 1:16:43
  you know, children's books and things like that, that I've got
• 1:16:45
  a handful in the works and, and got with Aladdin a year and a
• 1:16:48
  half ago to, to really start down that road.
• 1:16:52
  And he had already started really just dropped the Pacific
• 1:16:54
  Bitcoin 2022, the first series of Bitcoin trading cards.
• 1:16:57
  And the thing that the last couple years, I just kept coming
• 1:17:00
  back to me, it was lower your ego and raise your humility.
• 1:17:03
  And you know, like I love Adam's talk he gave at in Montreal that
• 1:17:06
  Jesus is a Bitcoiner. And that resonated with me a
• 1:17:08
  lot. And his show, I think it was
• 1:17:09
  Monday when you guys did the show, just really phenomenal
• 1:17:13
  explanation he gave and anyone saw the talk great.
• 1:17:16
  But you don't even need to in a way, you can just even listen to
• 1:17:18
  the couple minutes he gave on the show the other day from
• 1:17:20
  earlier this week. It's, it's phenomenal and it
• 1:17:22
  really gets back to humility and it is why it resonated with me.
• 1:17:25
  Just again, humility. Kids help give you that
• 1:17:28
  humility, obviously. And, and seeing like, Hey,
• 1:17:31
  life's not about you. And it's, it's about these kids,
• 1:17:36
  about these people and what, who are the people you really have,
• 1:17:38
  you know, power over? Quite honestly, who are the
• 1:17:39
  people you have influence over? They're your, they're your kids.
• 1:17:42
  You know, in a way you might have some, some influence over
• 1:17:45
  your spouse or your significant other, but it's, it's really
• 1:17:47
  your kids. They look to you.
• 1:17:48
  You know, every I, I forget the quote, there's an unbelievable
• 1:17:51
  quote by I think it's Bob Proctor and it's is why you were
• 1:17:55
  born rich seminar. I think it's born rich from like
• 1:17:57
  1987. It's like a six hour or more
• 1:18:00
  seminar that you can listen to. And, and he, he talks about, I
• 1:18:03
  think it's one of the guys he's with.
• 1:18:04
  And anyway, the whole moral of the, the long quote the guy
• 1:18:07
  gives is, you know, why do anything in life?
• 1:18:09
  And we're kind of in this world now where like you can just
• 1:18:11
  sedate. You can just play fantasy
• 1:18:12
  football, pick up a six pack, grab some pot, you know, take
• 1:18:16
  some illicit drugs, some legal drugs, whatever it is, you can
• 1:18:19
  just sedate, you know, kind of brave New World 1984 style.
• 1:18:22
  But we they've attacked family. You know, this whole thing we've
• 1:18:27
  been talking about all day of, of people attacking the family
• 1:18:30
  and this Malthusian mindset of This is why they attacked the
• 1:18:32
  family. Because at the end of the day,
• 1:18:34
  it used to be, you know, like, again, your kids would look up
• 1:18:37
  to you and you, you felt that like you were just like, I need
• 1:18:39
  to do right by my children and my family and my family's name.
• 1:18:42
  And really that's a lot of it's been destroyed.
• 1:18:44
  We talked about again in the last 4050 to 100 years of, of
• 1:18:48
  this process of, of destroying that.
• 1:18:49
  And in this world again, the 4 Chan post of we, we've gone
• 1:18:53
  through that. We're now towards the end of
• 1:18:55
  that. But it was, you know, how do
• 1:18:57
  you, they, they, the, the quote of like, there's these little
• 1:19:01
  eyes that are watching you every single day, every little move
• 1:19:03
  you make, every sound you, you make, every, everything you say,
• 1:19:07
  how you look at them, every little thing they pick up on
• 1:19:09
  that, you know, children pick up on those things and it's, it's
• 1:19:12
  incredible what they can learn. Mine are 7753 and 1:00.
• 1:19:16
  And I mean, you guys saw them the other day, they're ripping
• 1:19:18
  up whatever they were Zimbabwe or Venezuelan boulevards I think
• 1:19:21
  the other day with Isabella at the conference.
• 1:19:23
  And, and they already know, they already know cash is, is trash
• 1:19:26
  or Fiat is just paper and it's not worth anything.
• 1:19:28
  And it's amazing what they can learn at that age.
• 1:19:30
  And so again, between the kids books and you know, there's,
• 1:19:33
  there's great macro talk. And like we said, I, I interview
• 1:19:36
  people on the playable characters on my YouTube channel
• 1:19:38
  for Bitcoin trading cards as a, a top of the funnel thing to get
• 1:19:42
  people to see Bitcoin trading cards and help promote that.
• 1:19:45
  Obviously the, the content you guys do, there's all kinds of
• 1:19:48
  people doing that. We need 10,000 more people, but
• 1:19:51
  there's more people coming online every day.
• 1:19:52
  We need more education, But how, how can we do other things?
• 1:19:55
  Is it, is it children's books? The Tuttle twins kind of is
• 1:19:57
  similar ethos as Bitcoiners. They're going down that road.
• 1:20:02
  There are games we can create and there's some games that are
• 1:20:04
  coming out there. Huddle up and there's, you know,
• 1:20:06
  Shomry's got books and there's all these different things.
• 1:20:08
  But how do we really educate the youth and, and other people in
• 1:20:11
  other ways? Because everyone works in
• 1:20:12
  different ways. I remember. 10 or 12 years ago,
• 1:20:14
  I had this thought when I was leaving professional hockey of
• 1:20:16
  there needed to be a Call of Duty, but for like the Bill of
• 1:20:20
  Rights. And I was like, how can like
• 1:20:21
  George, how can you build a Call of Duty for like George
• 1:20:23
  Washington? Like, how can I make this like
• 1:20:24
  people are learning while they're playing Call of Duty
• 1:20:26
  because that was the big game at the time when I used to game it
• 1:20:29
  in, in my younger days. And so I was thinking about
• 1:20:32
  these things and it was like, OK, how, how do you do this?
• 1:20:35
  And I just had no idea. And then again, 10 years later,
• 1:20:37
  I, I meet Aladdin and it's this route of children's education
• 1:20:42
  again, why I'm so bullish on I, I think that iceberg flips
• 1:20:44
  because younger generations only know Bitcoin.
• 1:20:47
  They, they only know this, They're not going to go any
• 1:20:49
  other way. They're not going to gold.
• 1:20:50
  They're not going to four O 1 KS and 5:29 that that's complete,
• 1:20:53
  you know, old world legacy world finance that's just completely
• 1:20:57
  crumbling around us. So it became very obvious to me
• 1:21:00
  again, I need to get out of real estate.
• 1:21:01
  I need to get out of these things.
• 1:21:02
  I need to go this direction. I didn't even know what it meant
• 1:21:05
  at the time and I knew I had to be in Bitcoin.
• 1:21:07
  I just took a leap of faith that I, I, I am a faithful person.
• 1:21:10
  I have a strong faith and I always have.
• 1:21:12
  And it was just like, Hey, God, I'm, I'm jumping.
• 1:21:14
  I have no idea what this means. I'm like firing multiple people
• 1:21:17
  in my real estate where you know, like I fired myself and I
• 1:21:19
  was like, hey, sorry guys, you don't have to go home, but you
• 1:21:20
  can't stay here type of thing. Like I'm firing myself because
• 1:21:22
  I, I know I need to be in this world and I didn't even know
• 1:21:25
  what it meant, but I know I needed to educate and help
• 1:21:27
  people around me to, to see the, this Fiat prism that we,
• 1:21:32
  everyone sees life through and, and to see it in a different way
• 1:21:35
  to, to look on the other side. And like Solomon, everyone, and
• 1:21:39
  again, anyone's familiar with the Bible, Solomon, the wisest
• 1:21:41
  man in the world could see a problem from every single angle,
• 1:21:45
  right? And that's what bitcoiners have
• 1:21:46
  a tendency. We can see things from different
• 1:21:48
  angles and we can see things outside of that, that matrix,
• 1:21:51
  that Fiat matrix, and we can see above that and see the different
• 1:21:54
  sides of the, of the argument. A lot of times a lot clearer
• 1:21:56
  than other people. So that, that to me was some of
• 1:22:00
  the, the biggest reason why I left real estate and I left
• 1:22:03
  hockey and then got into real estate and then I got into
• 1:22:05
  Bitcoin a few years ago to really work full time in
• 1:22:07
  Bitcoin. And, and I always joke with you
• 1:22:09
  guys, like I, I just got into Bitcoin Twitter like in 2022 and
• 1:22:13
  I was always like, what's the bull run Like?
• 1:22:14
  I was, I always ask Opti, I think, you know, a couple years
• 1:22:16
  ago, like, what is the bull run like?
• 1:22:17
  Because I've never experienced it.
• 1:22:18
  I was gotten the Bitcoin in like 2018 and I was doing real estate
• 1:22:22
  though. So I just was like, I'd buy it
• 1:22:24
  and I'd, I'd, I'd sit there, but I was on other platforms doing
• 1:22:26
  other things because I was trying to build my Fiat
• 1:22:28
  business, you know, and I was, I would joke with people now that
• 1:22:32
  like the Titanic going down is the best, It's the, the best
• 1:22:35
  analogy I could ever give to someone about the, the system,
• 1:22:38
  you know, Fiat system and politics, everything being the
• 1:22:40
  Titanic and real estate in the investing world is you're the
• 1:22:44
  last to go in the water. The Titanic's broken in half at
• 1:22:46
  this point. And you're going in the water
• 1:22:48
  and you think like, yeah, ha, ha, like I'm on top.
• 1:22:50
  Like this is amazing. And real estate's amazing.
• 1:22:52
  And you're the last, You're just the last to go in the water
• 1:22:54
  because you're, you're like everyone's, you know, underneath
• 1:22:57
  the water, but below you. And you're just like, yeah, it's
• 1:22:58
  amazing. And you're still going to be
• 1:23:01
  12,000 feet under the sea and you just don't know it yet.
• 1:23:04
  And that's where the, the Bitcoin being the life raft is
• 1:23:07
  such a profound visual to, to see like, no, this is a
• 1:23:09
  completely different system. Like you can try to skirt the
• 1:23:11
  rules and, you know, property taxes and do all this stuff and
• 1:23:14
  fight the municipalities, but you're still in the Titanic.
• 1:23:16
  And again, the voting part, we, we always joke with voting.
• 1:23:20
  It's more to just get people out of their, their mindset, I guess
• 1:23:23
  in a way. But you know, being active
• 1:23:27
  locally and in voting obviously would have helped if we would
• 1:23:29
  have done that the last number of decades, in the last, you
• 1:23:32
  know, 5000 years, we've been more active just as a society.
• 1:23:35
  We are where we are. But I think you do have to vote
• 1:23:36
  and you do have to be active to set a precedent and show the
• 1:23:39
  young ones and show the people, hey, this is, this is how we do
• 1:23:42
  things. We stay engaged and we do these
• 1:23:44
  things, Although at the same time, again, I think Bitcoiners
• 1:23:47
  a A level of genius as as Nolan would say, again, another Nolan
• 1:23:50
  thing is being able to see things, have differing opinions
• 1:23:53
  or see things from both ends of spectrum.
• 1:23:55
  But having being able to have two opposing opinions that are
• 1:23:57
  ahead of the same time. Because at at that same time, I
• 1:24:00
  do believe there's a lot of the once you hit the iceberg in the
• 1:24:04
  Titanic voting right now currently, as it currently sits,
• 1:24:08
  it's probably a lot like trying to pick a new captain.
• 1:24:10
  Once you hit the iceberg already, it's not going to
• 1:24:13
  matter who's leading the ship because again, the Fiat Titanic
• 1:24:15
  is still going down to the bottom of the ocean.
• 1:24:17
  And so again, all this just became very clear to me over 15
• 1:24:21
  years, starting with really the great financial crisis and
• 1:24:23
  seeing Obamacare. You know what happened there
• 1:24:26
  that jammed down everyone's throats, Tea Party, Occupy Wall
• 1:24:28
  Street, really two sides of the same coin.
• 1:24:30
  Media tells us we're opposite. And then seeing the election in
• 1:24:33
  2012 happened when it looked very obvious down Romney was
• 1:24:37
  having Trump level crowds at that time, if people actually
• 1:24:40
  remember terrible candidate, but he was having Trump level crowds
• 1:24:43
  and and people showing up to rallies and Obama really wasn't
• 1:24:46
  having no one show up to his rallies.
• 1:24:48
  And all of a sudden Obama wins again.
• 1:24:49
  Those were things that really the inflection points that woke
• 1:24:51
  me up to say, OK, there's a huge there's a matrix.
• 1:24:54
  There's something going on here that I need to figure out, which
• 1:24:56
  led me down to, you know, studying all these books and
• 1:24:58
  studying all these things which to where I'm now and working at
• 1:25:00
  Bitcoin trading cards and and that's where we are today.
• 1:25:04
  And and I get to come and and talk to guys like you and
• 1:25:06
  collaborate and make content and you guys, you know, help us a
• 1:25:09
  lot and, and we love collaborating with you guys.
• 1:25:11
  So it's it's just it's a very cool world that we're in now.
• 1:25:14
  But that's to me, full circle. This is why I'm so optimistic
• 1:25:18
  because the younger generations, the demographics changing the
• 1:25:21
  content out there, people questioning everything, the
• 1:25:23
  Tuckers of the world all the way on down to the things we're
• 1:25:26
  doing. And then anecdotally, the people
• 1:25:27
  to friends and family that are really involved.
• 1:25:30
  I mean, I just see good things. And at the end they knowing,
• 1:25:32
  hey, got us a plan and you know, these things happen.
• 1:25:35
  Life, life goes on. The sun comes up tomorrow and
• 1:25:38
  and we're going to get through it.
• 1:25:40
  Love it. Love it Brandon, love it.
• 1:25:42
  All right, I. Do want to talk about the
• 1:25:43
  content because I really like this meme you got here.
• 1:25:45
  I I absolutely love the mimetics here guys go to YouTube, Brandon
• 1:25:50
  under score Gentilly and I love this playable characters.
• 1:25:53
  So why did you choose playable characters?
• 1:25:56
  I I know where this is going, but will you spell this out for
• 1:25:59
  the people that don't understand the mimetics here?
• 1:26:02
  Yeah. So obviously the one of the the.
• 1:26:04
  Memes in Bitcoin is just MPCS and non playable characters and
• 1:26:07
  being someone who games when I was younger a lot and spent a
• 1:26:09
  lot of time playing Call of Duty and SOCOM back in the day.
• 1:26:12
  For anyone old enough to remember that in the early
• 1:26:14
  2000s, you know, just you had AI characters, right people that
• 1:26:18
  didn't think they just did what they were programmed to do.
• 1:26:20
  And that's you know, I was a matrix fan growing up too.
• 1:26:23
  So you you have all these themes coming together.
• 1:26:24
  So that's where we start every show, basically just thanking
• 1:26:27
  everyone for coming on being a playable character.
• 1:26:29
  And really it doesn't have to be a bitcoiner, but just someone
• 1:26:31
  who can think or critically think and, and not be just stuck
• 1:26:35
  in this world of seeing things from this fake prison of two
• 1:26:38
  ideas or being in this world where you're just you're, you're
• 1:26:41
  seeing things just from this, this, this matrix.
• 1:26:44
  Or again, like, whether it's conspiracy, conspiracy stuff or
• 1:26:47
  like I, I test people all the time of just like throwing
• 1:26:49
  things out. I don't even believe some of the
• 1:26:51
  things I say, but I just want to see how people react and are you
• 1:26:54
  going to get emotional or are you going to to to go fly off
• 1:26:57
  the handle? Or are you going to be like,
• 1:26:59
  huh, you know, like that's interesting and question me on
• 1:27:00
  it, you know, things like that. So that to me is, is really kind
• 1:27:03
  of breaking people out of the matrix and being a playable
• 1:27:06
  character, someone who can question everything with
• 1:27:08
  boldness, even the existence of God himself.
• 1:27:10
  For if there is a God, you know, surely he'd appreciate that over
• 1:27:13
  blindfolded fear, which is one of my favorite Thomas Jefferson
• 1:27:15
  quotes. So that's that's where the
• 1:27:18
  playable character, you know, meme.
• 1:27:19
  I would say it's a playoff the the Bitcoiner ethos.
• 1:27:23
  Love it, bro. Absolutely love it.
• 1:27:24
  All right, Brandon. We are going a little long, so I
• 1:27:27
  want to give you the last two sets.
• 1:27:29
  What's the final message you want to leave to the audience?
• 1:27:32
  Final words are forever. Hold your peace.
• 1:27:36
  Yeah. No, I appreciate you guys again
• 1:27:37
  so much. This is a phenomenal show.
• 1:27:39
  You guys always do an unbelievable job.
• 1:27:41
  Again, the thing I keep coming back to for the last number of
• 1:27:43
  years is just to lower the ego, raise humility and in trying to
• 1:27:47
  give other people platforms too. And that's why, probably why I
• 1:27:50
  do what I do just to give other people platforms.
• 1:27:52
  Like I, I hear myself talk enough over the last 25 years
• 1:27:55
  and whether it was hockey or, you know, people seeking what
• 1:27:59
  you thought or, or just me running my mouth largely to my
• 1:28:02
  family or friends or people around me.
• 1:28:03
  It was like, OK, I need to lower my ego.
• 1:28:05
  I don't know everything. Raise, you know, raise my
• 1:28:07
  humility and start giving other people platforms.
• 1:28:10
  But I, I do want to. And that's again, that's why I,
• 1:28:12
  I love helping Bitcoin trading cards as well, because I, you
• 1:28:16
  know, I'm very entrepreneurial and I have, I have a hard time
• 1:28:19
  personally being told what to do.
• 1:28:21
  Hence why I think a lot of Bitcoiners are bitcoiners
• 1:28:23
  because we don't like people telling us what to do.
• 1:28:25
  And so it's a, it's a humility thing where I want to learn more
• 1:28:28
  about myself in a way as well. I want to help Aladdin.
• 1:28:30
  I want to help, I love the, the mission.
• 1:28:33
  You know, Aladdin's very red pilled, very orange pilled.
• 1:28:34
  We see very close together, very similar to to you boys here.
• 1:28:38
  And so it's, it's a great, you know, cohesion.
• 1:28:41
  But I, I do want to learn a little more humility as well as
• 1:28:44
  part of it too. Like I, I'm not going to be an
• 1:28:45
  entrepreneur. Everything I still have other
• 1:28:48
  business ventures that I'm the entrepreneur and I'm the person
• 1:28:51
  in, but I do want to learn a little bit of that aspect of
• 1:28:53
  well. So that's partly why I work with
• 1:28:55
  Aladdin, do what I do. But the other little tip that I
• 1:28:57
  want to leave everyone with today is just a little learning
• 1:29:00
  learnings about the system that we're in, which was given to me
• 1:29:03
  by my Italian, I guess, in his, his, my wife's Zeo.
• 1:29:08
  So my Italian uncle or her Italian uncle and he, it's BBB.
• 1:29:13
  So this is how, this is how Italians work and this is how
• 1:29:15
  business works. And this is how now you
• 1:29:17
  understand how really all this works.
• 1:29:19
  Politics and all the things we're seeing in life work, which
• 1:29:22
  is A-frame to see everything, which is kind of frame.
• 1:29:23
  So BBB, it's bullshit, bribery and blackmail.
• 1:29:28
  So that's, that's the order when you're thinking of what's going
• 1:29:30
  on in the world, that's the order that which ironically, the
• 1:29:33
  Italians, the Club of Rome type of stuff.
• 1:29:35
  But you've got Malthusian, you've got the Machiavelli,
• 1:29:38
  stuff like that, Mussolini, but bullshit, you know, it's the
• 1:29:40
  lies, obviously bribery or the laws, you know, stimmy checks or
• 1:29:44
  canceling student debt, you know, all these things, right?
• 1:29:46
  If those don't work, then you get the blackmail, which is what
• 1:29:48
  we're seeing a lot of nowadays. Who is the most blackmailable
• 1:29:50
  candidate? So anyway, we get way down the
• 1:29:52
  rabbit hole. I know we want, we're really
• 1:29:54
  along, but I wanted to give everyone that frame again,
• 1:29:56
  again, a Nolan frame type of frame.
• 1:29:59
  I guess he's big into the frameworks, right?
• 1:30:00
  So a framework to kind of live by and see business a bit
• 1:30:04
  through, but in the Fiat business and also Fiat politics
• 1:30:07
  and what we're seeing. So appreciate you guys a ton.
• 1:30:09
  It's been an absolute blast. Love it, Brandon, love it.
• 1:30:13
  Great. That was a great framework.
• 1:30:14
  I like the BBBS. Triple BS triple.
• 1:30:22
  BS I almost said I almost said another acronym.
• 1:30:24
  With BBS in it. But you know I'm not Hold on, I
• 1:30:28
  got to clear up some of these breaking tickers here.
• 1:30:31
  I do not give out free tacos. Ever.
• 1:30:34
  I do not bribe you with tacos. Did you not hear what Brandon
• 1:30:38
  just said? Oh man, oh man, this is not the.
• 1:30:42
  Free Taco standard. That was simply Bitcoin for May.
