Transcript
- 0:18Yo, how you guys doing today is April, 3rd 2023 and welcome to
- 0:24Simply Bitcoin. We are your number one source
- 0:26for the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution, we cover breaking
- 0:29news, Bitcoin culture and memetic warfare and we will be
- 0:33your guide through the separation of money and state.
- 0:36As you can tell guys, it's your boy Opti.
- 0:38I'm hosting Today's Show so it's a little bit different, but same
- 0:43show nonetheless. And on today's show guys as we
- 0:47are continuously. Fully covering on the channel.
- 0:51We are in the first Innings of the then they fight you stage of
- 0:53the separation of money and state and to be completely blunt
- 0:56with you guys. They are not sending their best,
- 0:59but hey, this is why we cover this every single day and I know
- 1:04Nico is usually a little Kinder on the show but hey I am taking
- 1:08over it is my show. Now I am the captain for today
- 1:12and on the numbers as you can tell in the thumbnail thumbnail,
- 1:15we have a geriatric senator Hang on technology that she does not
- 1:20understand sounding like a fear mongering grandmother about
- 1:24using Newfound technology, and how it will ruin in the world.
- 1:27It's laughable, really like completely laughable.
- 1:30Anyways, please list Warren, take a break.
- 1:32We got it from here, thank you very much, but this is the
- 1:36separation of money and state and this is not going to be the
- 1:39end of these types of behavior. This is only the beginning and
- 1:43we will see more politicians career.
- 1:45Bureaucrats bankers and Central planners come out again.
- 1:48As Bitcoin pontificating and projecting their bias, but
- 1:52Bitcoin exposes all incentives. This is a feature, not a bug.
- 1:55So as the world starts to wake up and move away from the
- 1:59dollar, the clamoring for control will only intensify
- 2:03guys. So be prepared for this because
- 2:05as the world moves away from the dollar as World Reserve
- 2:08currency, those in power in Washington DC and every Central
- 2:13institution of the world, will lose their foothold know, their
- 2:16Chokehold on the world. They will do everything in their
- 2:19power to maintain that position and it's only their incentives,
- 2:22but it would do them good to adopt Bitcoin, adopt the Bitcoin
- 2:26standard saving Bitcoin spread the Bitcoin adoption.
- 2:29But they will be the last to do so.
- 2:31So sadly or rather maybe thankfully depending on your
- 2:35perspective, they are blinded by their positions and their bias,
- 2:39but fortunately for you guys, you do not have to wait until
- 2:43these people allow you to use Bitcoin.
- 2:45Bitcoin is permission list by Design.
- 2:47You cannot opt into Bitcoin Network today freely by your own
- 2:50accord. And there's no amount of
- 2:52screeching that the geriatrics and Washington can do that.
- 2:55Will stop the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution.
- 2:58But this only occurs if you take action take back your money by
- 3:02Saving and Bitcoin taking your Bitcoin into self custody and
- 3:06spreading the virtues of Bitcoin to every single person of the
- 3:09world. This is how we win as we raise
- 3:12to, avoid the inevitable war on freedom that we find ourselves
- 3:15in boys and girls. And this is what we Going to
- 3:18cover continuously on simply Bitcoin.
- 3:22Anyways, before we go on, let me bring in my co-host today Del
- 3:25the Funky. Homosapien Del, how are you
- 3:28doing today? What's up, brother?
- 3:31I'm doing great. I'm glad you use that title.
- 3:33I went back and watch that episode like four times.
- 3:36Clicking through trying to find the person that said I wanted to
- 3:39credit them, but I could not find it.
- 3:41I don't know if they deleted the comment or what about if you're
- 3:44out there and it was you, thank you, but I'm I'm running with

- 3:54All right guys. Well actually dad, what are we
- 3:57covering today in the new segment?
- 3:59Well, we've got Bitcoin uses 50 times less energy than
- 4:02traditional, banking, new study shows.
- 4:04And I bet it's even more than that.
- 4:05I'll give you some reasons. Why.
- 4:06And then we also have over from coin paper, he YouTube an
- 4:10anonymous crypto transfers of over 1000 Euro.
- 4:14So that's not here in the US. Well, that's where I'm at.
- 4:16It's over there. But still It shows a sign of the
- 4:19times more control, more, Crackdown more oversight, more
- 4:23more creep into those coming in to take control of your life.
- 4:28Not good enough. Absolutely love it.
- 4:30As you can tell, we are just doubling down on the idea of
- 4:33separating money and state today.
- 4:35This show, don't stop the signal don't stop.
- 4:37Anyways, let's get into the numbers, guys.
- 4:41The Bitcoin numbers brought to you by novel.
- 4:45At this point, you should be running your own Bitcoin note.
- 4:47If you don't use your own Bitcoin node, you're trusting
- 4:50someone else's run your own version of Bitcoin core.
- 4:53The lightning Network, whirlpool, and Dojo all from the
- 4:56comfort of your own home. And if your digital Nomad, you
- 5:00have absolutely no excuse because now you can run a novel
- 5:03through a virtual private server.

- 6:16simply to get a discount on your tickets and we will see you in
- 6:21Miami anyway before we get into the numbers segment, let's get
- 6:26into the numbers. First and foremost we are at
- 6:28block high of 783 779 all-time high of block height, the
- 6:34current SATs per dollar AKA Moscow.
- 6:37Time. AKA how much your dollar can buy
- 6:39of Bitcoin is 3559 sets with the current bitcoin price of twenty,
- 6:44eight thousand and ninety five dollars per Bitcoin.
- 6:48And one of the best metrics I know Nico says that his favorite
- 6:51metric is the realized monetary inflation, but this one might be
- 6:54my favorite metric. The percentage issued, the total
- 6:57Bitcoin percentage is at ninety two point zero seven percent.
- 7:01The current bitcoin market cap is at five hundred and forty.
- 7:04Three point two billion, half a trillion dollars Dollars and yet
- 7:08we still get so much hate in regards to bitcoin things that
- 7:11make you say hmm. And of course Niko's favorite
- 7:14number the real life realized monetary inflation 1.76 percent
- 7:18and of course I always forget what Niko's numbers are here but
- 7:21this is Opti show today. So we add my numbers and one of
- 7:25the numbers that I think a lot of us bitcoiners need to keep an
- 7:28eye on is the Bitcoin versus gold market cap, which right now
- 7:31is 4.11 percent. That means Bitcoin is only a
- 7:36little baby. But in the grand scheme of
- 7:38things and we're barely at 5% of the gold market cap, there's
- 7:41still so much room to grow and everyone still thinks that
- 7:45you're late to bitcoin. Anyways, the next number is, the
- 7:48total capacity of Bitcoin in the lightning Network.
- 7:50It is. Currently at five thousand three
- 7:52hundred and ninety nine point, eight five, BTC.
- 7:54I remember when these were baby numbers and this is just in the
- 7:57public channels. It's almost like lightning
- 7:59simply works and people are using it to move money around
- 8:02the world instantly. Anyways, the total capacity
- 8:05value in dollar terms of Lightly Network currently is 150 1.6
- 8:10million and then the Bitcoin nodes you guys should be running
- 8:13your nodes guys. I know these numbers are a
- 8:15little off. These are the public nodes.
- 8:17If you look at Luke Dashers website you will see that there
- 8:21is I think more around like the 90,000 total Bitcoin nodes.
- 8:26But anyways according to Clarke Moody's dashboard the public
- 8:29reachable nodes is 17,000 and 96 Bitcoin nodes across the network
- 8:35and again adding my own numbers. Here guys, the hash rate has
- 8:38been going parabolic and the hash rate for the last two
- 8:42thousand and sixteen blocks is that 343 x a hashes.
- 8:47And for the last 90 days, it is averaged around 300 + 2, X2,
- 8:51hashes, absolutely bullish. I wonder what is going on out
- 8:55there and Bitcoin mining world because if you see the charts,
- 9:00the hash rate is looking like it's going parabolic.
- 9:03Anyways guys on today's numbers, Going to be covering this
- 9:08Elizabeth Warren clip. But before I get into the Lizzie
- 9:11Warren clip, I really wanted to lay down some context in regard
- 9:16to Elizabeth, Warren, and everything that she's about
- 9:20because it is very interesting. She's a very interesting
- 9:23character. She is viewed as a democratic
- 9:27Progressive, right? Who made a Big Splash in the 07,
- 9:3008 financial crisis and pushing for stronger, banking
- 9:34regulations. And to change lobbying as we
- 9:36know it. It and this is literally from
- 9:39her website, her own website. So Elizabeth Warren.
- 9:42A Fearless consumer Advocate who has made her life work.
- 9:45The fight for the middle class families.
- 9:47Elizabeth of the one of the nation's leading Progressive
- 9:49voices fighting for big structural change, that would
- 9:52transform our economy and rebuild the middle class and
- 9:55she's put forward ambitious plans.
- 9:58Ending lobbying as we know it impose an ultra millionaire tax
- 10:01on Fortune's worth over 50 million dollars.
- 10:05And again, you know, positioning yourself as an advocate for the
- 10:10middle class and as I was doing some of this research, Kind of
- 10:15looked at some of the numbers and it's very interesting to see
- 10:18what she pushes for her public stance and what is the reality
- 10:24of the situation. So I went over here and use K CA
- 10:28knowledge. I think this is a website used
- 10:31to basically tally celebrities net worse, and it's very
- 10:37interesting to know that Elizabeth Warren's.
- 10:39Net worth is 67 million dollars. Again I repeat 6. 67 million
- 10:46dollars. And I find it very interesting
- 10:48that she positions herself as fighting for the little man that
- 10:51the average, middle-class American and even is, you know,
- 10:56apparently, on her own website impose an ultra millionaire tax
- 11:00on Fortune's worth over 50 million dollars.
- 11:02It's very interesting. I find it very laughable and
- 11:05highly improbable that she would try to tax herself.
- 11:08Anyways, her yearly salary income as a senator is 285,000.
- 11:14But our monthly income is 400 thousand dollars now.
- 11:17Look, I am not one to chastise those that are rich.
- 11:21I believe everyone should get rich.
- 11:23Everyone has the potential to become rich and you should want
- 11:26to get rich because that's the only way to escape the matrix,
- 11:29but I am against hypocrisy. And now I really wonder how she
- 11:35was able to amass this incredible net worth.
- 11:38I did realize and through this website again, you know, maybe
- 11:43needs to get fact-checked a More, I tried to find more and
- 11:45more data around but she inherited 10 million dollars.
- 11:49And now her network worth is 67 million dollars with 45 million
- 11:53dollars in assets. And here as bitcoiners all we
- 11:56want to do is save in an asset that doesn't Rob us.
- 12:00And yet she has yachts and cars and multiple real estate and yet
- 12:05she positions herself as a middle-class Advocate again, I
- 12:09am not against wealth. I think it's upon all of us to
- 12:11get extremely wealthy so that we can change the world.
- 12:14The better. What's the saying?
- 12:15Bullshit talks and money walks and this is where we are on the
- 12:18world. So again I just find it very
- 12:21interesting that she got on the scene in 2007-2008 as someone
- 12:27that was battling the banks. And now it seems like she has
- 12:31become the very thing that she hates.
- 12:34And so one other little tidbit that I found while I was going
- 12:38through this whole Elizabeth Warren journalism, segment is
- 12:44That in the past. She was a republican from 1991
- 12:48to 1996. And then she currently has
- 12:50flopped to a Democrat 1996, to present.
- 12:53So, it kind of reminds me of what we always say about
- 12:57politicians. They just flip flop to whatever
- 13:00narrative works best for themselves.
- 13:02And this is where I will transition into what we are
- 13:05seeing from Elizabeth Warren today, and she has been taking
- 13:09this auntie crypto stance, building an anti crypto Army.
- 13:14And on today's video, I just find it amazing what she's
- 13:17saying and we're going to get all into it but let's watch this
- 13:19clip. With Bitcoin.
- 13:24There's no thing that backs it up and and that's what makes it
- 13:28different. It's just belief you.
- 13:31And I assess you assess the value is going to go down ISIS.
- 13:35It's going to go up and therefore I buy so it's no.
- 13:39So it's more like this artwork. No.
- 13:41Because at the end of the day, I'm gonna hang that thing on my
- 13:43wall, right? And I can enjoy it, or I can
- 13:46throw darts at it. You could sell it for money.
- 13:50Sure. You can't be there features
- 13:51about it that are the same but it's It's not the same and look
- 13:56one of the things we have to remember about there.
- 13:58A lot of things that come within this crypto world.
- 14:01So for example, we could be talking about instead of
- 14:04Bitcoin, we could be talking about digital currency.
- 14:07Now that's something very different that's different to I
- 14:10buy that I accept. That's right because that's a
- 14:12government-backed electronic transfer and it can be
- 14:18denominated in dollars. It could be denominated in
- 14:21Euros. It could be It in some new
- 14:25language that's made up but that has something that backs it up
- 14:30it has a government that says if at the end of the day there's a
- 14:34run on this stuff everybody wants.
- 14:36Theirs out the United States government promises there will
- 14:40be something to back it up and that's what banks are about.
- 14:45They'll be somebody there to back it up but with Bitcoin
- 14:52that's not the case. Okay, all right.
- 14:58Oh man. First and foremost, the extreme
- 15:01and profound ignorance on display by.
- 15:04Elizabeth Warren is absolutely laughable.
- 15:07She really has no clue what she's talking about and she
- 15:10wants to regulate Bitcoin. Like she's just essentially
- 15:13taking a stance against Bitcoin and has no interest in
- 15:17understanding the arguments for Bitcoin.
- 15:19As you can tell, she's basically planted a flag and then now he's
- 15:23doing all kinds. Of mental gymnastics to prove
- 15:26how her point to the average person.
- 15:29Anyways, it's really amazing. The computer and economic
- 15:32illiteracy that was on display, in this little clip but what is
- 15:35really kind of disheartening is that people will fall for this
- 15:38first. Let's talk about the claim, no
- 15:40thing backs, Bitcoin, you know, we need the money that a
- 15:43government backs because the full faith and credit of the US
- 15:46government is what backs the dollar.
- 15:48And, you know, first and foremost as I covered in the
- 15:52numbers, like Bitcoin is Is literally tied to energy guys.
- 15:56Bitcoin is backed up by energy. This is what the hashed rated.
- 16:00This is what Bitcoin mining is all about a real-world cost to
- 16:04creating Bitcoin in stark contrast to Fiat money creation,
- 16:08which is literally printing money from than are literally by
- 16:12decree as Fiat is the direct translation to anyways.
- 16:17The other one that really got me is Bitcoin is just a belief like
- 16:21Bitcoin is not just imaginary, what Lizzie Warren is a Actually
- 16:24saying is, you know, Bitcoin is intangible.
- 16:27Therefore, it's worthless worthless and it's just a funny
- 16:31Trope like furthermore, what makes it more hilarious is that
- 16:35she's doubled down and said it should be banned Liz.
- 16:38If it is worthless, why must it be bait band?
- 16:41It makes no sense to me if, if Bitcoin wasn't such a threat to
- 16:45your power, why would we need to band it?
- 16:49It's just, it's just incredible. It really is incredible.
- 16:52And I really find it interesting.
- 16:54Resting, which I think to it's very end of the day, the signal
- 16:58here is on the one hand. She cannot stop talking about
- 17:02Bitcoin because she understand what we understand.
- 17:04Bitcoin is a direct threat to their power and they have to do
- 17:08whatever they can to Gaslight the average person out there so
- 17:11that they don't find the Escape Route.
- 17:14But I think the true signal here guys, is that Bitcoin is not a
- 17:18top-down technology that needs a government to dictate its a
- 17:22bottom-up technology and emergent On based on
- 17:25individuals, choosing what to save in.
- 17:28And as someone that should be fighting for the middle, man,
- 17:31for the middle class, for the average, little man out there,
- 17:34you would think that she would endorse Bitcoin yet.
- 17:38As we are seeing on display, she is doing whatever she can to
- 17:42stop the Bitcoin adoption because she knows what we know
- 17:46guys and gals that Bitcoin, disintermediated their power,
- 17:51when Bitcoin does. What we know it will do, it will
- 17:54take away. Away their power of the money
- 17:55printer. And this is something they
- 17:57cannot do. This is why I did my opening
- 18:01monologue today on the idea of separating money and state and
- 18:04how they will lose their power. When Bitcoin gets adopted, and
- 18:08this is why so many Central planners are coming out.
- 18:11This is why the politicians will fight Bitcoin, but if they know
- 18:14what's good for them, they will adopt the Bitcoin standard.
- 18:16But hey, it is all incentives and Bitcoin exposes all
- 18:20incentives. So on the one hand Liz, I know
- 18:23you are. Offer your position for your
- 18:26job, for your livelihood, but this is all great marketing for
- 18:29Bitcoin. I know that some people woke up
- 18:31heard this clip and we're like, wait a government doesn't hold
- 18:35my money way. It government doesn't control my
- 18:37money. That sounds like a good thing to
- 18:40me but hey, I know I'm a, you know, I'm a radical Bitcoin, a
- 18:44literate psychopath and toxic Bitcoin.
- 18:47ER, and so maybe what is a negative to you?
- 18:50Is a positive to us average individuals out there that want
- 18:53simply one, Thing a money that doesn't steal from us so that we
- 18:57can save and prosper going into the future.
- 19:00And of course, the powers that be that are in control of the
- 19:02money. Do not want this for you.
- 19:04So what are we going to do? We're going to continue to
- 19:06spread the signal and save and Bitcoin.
- 19:08Anyways, Del what's your thoughts, rather?
- 19:10Man? L, lizard Warren over.
- 19:12Here is got some real funky ideas.
- 19:14I'd like her to how can I say this without sounding?
- 19:19Like, I'm okay. So, if you put her in front of a
- 19:22video, that shows MMA fight, Nuclear bombs going off just
- 19:26regular Bombs, all sorts of different Warfare and you tell
- 19:30me that all of everything that you just saw.
- 19:32There is nothing. Then I'll agree that Bitcoin has
- 19:35nothing backing it but the same thing that's backing those
- 19:38punches, those Bombs all of that kinetic energy.
- 19:40It's all energy. Can't be created.
- 19:42Can't be destroyed. The same exact thing that is
- 19:45backing those punches. Those bombs those bullets backs
- 19:48Bitcoin. So, if that's nothing, well,
- 19:50then I don't know where we're living, but that's something
- 19:53that's definitely something. You Ask any MMA fighter?
- 19:55You ask anybody that's ever been shot?
- 19:57Stabbed. Cut punch thrown down stairs, if
- 19:58that's nothing. That's something.
- 20:00It's something it hurts, and that's power.
- 20:02That's a real energy and that's the exact same thing that's
- 20:05backing Bitcoin. It's literally no different.
- 20:08It's just a different use of it. Exact same thing.
- 20:11This is the point that Jason Lowry wrote the entire thesis.
- 20:14That's over 400 pages long something like 200,000 words on
- 20:17MIT graduate works at space force, spook, whatever you want
- 20:20to call him. But it's brilliant thesis and he
- 20:23goes in great. About how its exact same thing.
- 20:26And once people start waking up to this, and once they start
- 20:28realizing, they're going to understand the importance of
- 20:31this. It mean, this just goes to show
- 20:32how stupid. Or now there's something else
- 20:36going on with the US government. How we just saw this, there are
- 20:39such weeks of in the past couple days about this.
- 20:41How they I think it was all of the Bitcoin that They
- 20:44confiscated from Silk Road, something like 41,000 Bitcoin
- 20:48that they're going to sell like either there's something else
- 20:51going on or you are truly the dumbest mf'er is out there.
- 20:54Are on the planet because you could that that's I did the math
- 20:57and I was something like two billion dollars just print that
- 21:01and then keep the Bitcoin like you can do that.
- 21:04But no, no, no, let's sell this for thing that we can make like,
- 21:07what? Like I've got like it just, it's
- 21:10just so stupid. Doesn't make any sense.
- 21:12I don't, I don't get it. I don't get it.
- 21:15I think that will be looked on as one of the worst trades in
- 21:18modern history, selling all those Bitcoins.
- 21:21And I think they doubled down and said they're going to sell
- 21:23all of their Bitcoins. They've confiscated for paper
- 21:27Fiat money. Oh my goodness, it's gonna be a
- 21:29it's going to be a good thought experiment in a few years just
- 21:32to see how much the Bitcoin price has gone up compared to
- 21:37the Fiat price that they took. We're seeing we're seeing, you
- 21:42know, economic laws play out in real time.
- 21:44And this is why we are holding Bitcoin for the long run because
- 21:47Fiat will only only get the base going further down the line.
- 21:51It's simple math. As Greg Faust says, anyways,
- 21:54let's get into the culture, guys.

- 22:51the simply Bitcoin account as well and we'll do our best to
- 22:53pass that information on to you guys.
- 22:54So before I go in, I do want to give a little caveat on this
- 23:00conversation. If you are not in our spaces on
- 23:03Friday, we were talking about the implications of D
- 23:07dollarization with all these brics nations moving away from
- 23:10the dollar and cents settling trade in a different currency
- 23:15and what this means. But also what this means for
- 23:18other nations and first things first, as a Bitcoin, ER, I think
- 23:22I am obligated to say more keynesianism, will not fix the
- 23:25problems of Keynesian. Makes.
- 23:28But I am going to flush that out for you guys that don't know
- 23:30exactly what I mean by this. So countries as we are seeing in
- 23:36real time are either actually moving away from the dollar or
- 23:41posturing as if they are going to move away the doll from from
- 23:44the dollar. Again move away from the fiat
- 23:46currency. And what's this all mean?
- 23:50Because as I started in the numbers, you know we have
- 23:52another option that isn't a government dictated currency and
- 23:56what is that? Answer.
- 23:58It's literally the title of the show.
- 23:59It is simply Bitcoin. This is the solution to all of
- 24:03this. But I did get some pushback last
- 24:06week when we covered the D dollarization, and the news
- 24:09about China settling their, their trades in the Yuan.
- 24:14And either, I misspoke, or people misheard.
- 24:16Me and said that essentially, the US should follow China and,
- 24:20you know, endorse Bitcoin, and get on the Bitcoin standard and
- 24:24someone had a little clap back and said, you know, Bitcoin,
- 24:27Only half a trillion dollar industry.
- 24:29It's literally tiny. And the US will be fine, bro.
- 24:32It doesn't need to follow China, bro, and I kind of had the feel
- 24:37ization of like wait, I am pretty sure that is not what I
- 24:39said on the show, but if I did, forgive me what I meant to say,
- 24:44was, if the US wants to continue to lead the world, it wants to
- 24:49innovate, it will need to Pivot as we are seeing right now, the
- 24:53world is waking up. The world has felt the
- 24:56weaponization of the Dollar from the fed and they're not happy
- 24:59about it. Brics nations in Mass are
- 25:02talking about dropping the dollar and it is time.
- 25:06Maybe not yet, maybe it's in the future, maybe it's 10 years 20
- 25:09years from now but it's time to have a real conversation on the
- 25:12idea of pivoting maybe away from the dollar willingly instead of
- 25:17waiting until everyone drops the dollar and we hold onto a dying
- 25:22currency but as a nation built on freedom as a Bitcoin, ER The
- 25:27only suspect that the US would endorse Freedom money AKA
- 25:31Bitcoin. And I kind of got reminded when
- 25:34I was when I was preparing this little bit today, I got reminded
- 25:38of the Lord in the Rings analogy.
- 25:40You know, like we must destroy the ring which is the world
- 25:44Reserve currency of the dollar to maintain our position and
- 25:47throw that proverbial ring into the fire so that we can maintain
- 25:51a leading position in the world. Whether we like it or not, we
- 25:54know our biggest export of the world is our in Inflation is our
- 25:58currency, but I believe our second biggest exportation in
- 26:02the world is our culture, is this idea of freedom.
- 26:06We are a nation built on freedom.
- 26:08Everyone's still whether they hate us or not, still love the
- 26:11ideas and the culture of America.
- 26:13And if we want to continue to lead as a Bitcoin, ER, as
- 26:16someone that wants to see my country Prosper, I would love
- 26:20for them to Pivot on to the Bitcoin standard.
- 26:22I know that this is a, you know, way ahead of the game.
- 26:25I know that maybe I am the All minority here but I definitely
- 26:29believe that if America wants to maintain that super power
- 26:33position. Moving forward, it might not be
- 26:36an over Nam overnight phenomenon, but we will have to
- 26:39endorse Bitcoin because Bitcoin is freedom money and I believe a
- 26:43nation built on freedom would want freedom money for their
- 26:46civilians for their citizens, so that we can also prosper and get
- 26:51back to our route for the People by the people.
- 26:54And as we can see, as I kind of covered in the Numbers.
- 26:57The politicians, the bureaucrats the career politician Central
- 27:01planners and their ilk are definitely not working in our
- 27:04favorite anyways. Getting back to how I started
- 27:07this. If you were not in our spaces on
- 27:10Friday we had a whole hour plus conversation on the implications
- 27:14of D dollarization and what this actually means for the world
- 27:18rather what this actually means for us Americans as well as the
- 27:21world. And so I wanted to bring some
- 27:23receipts so you guys know that I'm not just making stuff up
- 27:25here and we got this Headline here, China and France
- 27:29companies. Complete first cross-border,
- 27:31Yuan settlement of liquid, natural, gas trade, and then
- 27:34continuing down this vein April 3rd, 2023, China and Brazil
- 27:38reach, a cord to trade with their own currencies.
- 27:40Avoiding the US dollar and again, this is from Bloomberg
- 27:44again. April 3rd this morning.
- 27:46China's Yuan replaces dollar as most traded currency in Russia,
- 27:51and continuing down this idea. This was March, 31st, you on
- 27:54tops Euro, as Brazil s currency and Foreign reserves.
- 27:58And if you remember the statistics I brought last week,
- 28:01the Brazilian economy is not a small economy.
- 28:03I if I remember correctly, its top 12 and then again some more
- 28:07headlines from this morning, Saudi Arabia, and bouldin on
- 28:11world stage, underpins OPEC decision.
- 28:13And if you don't get what this means, if there was any doubt
- 28:15over Saudi Arabia's growing International, certain has
- 28:18Sunday's decision to / OPEC plus oil production, put it to rest.
- 28:23So I keep bringing you the same receipts that Whether you
- 28:28believe in to in the Bitcoin, hoping I'm quote-unquote that
- 28:32the world is moving away from the dollar or whether it is
- 28:36actually happening. I am bringing the receipts and
- 28:38again wall Street's over Japan breaks with us allies buys
- 28:41Russian oil at prices above cap. And again, this morning
- 28:46exclusive from Reuters, Russia shift to Dubai Benchmark in
- 28:50Indian oil deal. We are seeing in real time that
- 28:54maybe, just, maybe we are. And to see the beginning of the
- 28:59end of the Petro dollar, the brics Nations and other nations
- 29:02around the world, have felt the pain and the weaponization of
- 29:05the dollar from the fed. And I think we are getting to
- 29:10the point where soon enough we will no longer be able to export
- 29:13our inflation, to the rest of the world and they have woken up
- 29:16to the game. But again as I said in the
- 29:18beginning, you cannot just change the system by adding more
- 29:23of the same to the system. Keynesian economics will not
- 29:26work here. Anyways, I The Tweet here feds
- 29:28power. The u.s. dollar is the only
- 29:29serious Contender for the world's Reserve currency.
- 29:32Again, they their bias is showing and they just continue
- 29:36to double down on. The idea that the dollar is the
- 29:39way that Fiat money is the way. And again, I keep hearing the
- 29:42same receipts because I'm trying to paint the picture of what is
- 29:46going on in the world. Jerome Powell on the horns of
- 29:48dilemma of the Federal Reserve Zone.
- 29:49Making the FED has pushed too hard.
- 29:52We are the world Reserve currency and we have weaponized
- 29:55the dollar against the world. And people have had enough and
- 29:59this is not new in the history of Fiat money.
- 30:03They usually only lasts for a couple hundred years and we're
- 30:06at that point right now where our dollar may be losing that
- 30:09world Reserve currency. But what does this mean for us
- 30:11again back to the conversation, we had on the spaces.
- 30:15I know there's a lot of fear-mongering going on on
- 30:18Twitter and people are talking about, this is the end of the
- 30:22u.s. rain, you know, we're about to be an apocalyptic zombie
- 30:26apocalypse and where Now going to be eating each other in the
- 30:28street or whatever, crazy idea people have.
- 30:32But the tldr what we were talking about in our space was
- 30:36this idea of guys, the world will be fine, everything will
- 30:40work out eventually and there's no need to think that the sky is
- 30:44falling on us As Americans. And I brought this tweet up yes
- 30:48or a Friday in our space and this is from Lynn Alden and I
- 30:51think she did a great job summarizing what is going on
- 30:54right now and so the Tweet goes lost in the conversation.
- 30:57Turn around recent currency. / energy news is the question of
- 31:00whether the current system of dollar hegemony is even good for
- 31:03the u.s. the conversations, just assume that it is and discuss
- 31:06the risk of. Losing it dollar hegemony
- 31:08increases, our import power and decreases our export
- 31:11competitiveness which feels good but Hollows out our industrial
- 31:15base over decades it's important for DC and the military
- 31:18industrial complex while harming domestic manufacturing around.
- 31:22The margins Global diversification of Central Bank
- 31:25Reserves and payment rails is bad for the This Empire, but not
- 31:28bad for the u.s.a. the country. And I think this is the Crux of
- 31:32the conversation, guys. Yes, we may be at the beginning
- 31:35of the end of dollar hegemony, but this may not be bad for us
- 31:40as Citizens. This may actually be a very
- 31:43important state step to going to what we all believe as
- 31:47bitcoiners, which is getting the world on a Bitcoin standard.
- 31:51So again, the sobering tldr of all this conversation is Yes,
- 31:57there are things that are outside of our control, but as
- 32:01an individual, as a citizen, the most important thing for you to
- 32:03be doing is just opt out of this saving Bitcoin, protect yourself
- 32:07and your family. Because the bureaucrats have
- 32:09shown a few things, they are not working in your favor but
- 32:12instead working for themselves. So cut out that middleman.
- 32:15Take back your life. Hold Bitcoin.
- 32:18Write down your seed, phrase on something that will last like
- 32:22our sponsor bit plates, which is military grade steel.
- 32:26So you Don't just have, you know, your piece of paper lost
- 32:30in your laundry drawer, but you will have it on steel.
- 32:34It is easy to use hard to destroy and it's designed to
- 32:38back up your wallet, your seed, phrase.
- 32:40This is what you need to do, guys.
- 32:41It's a very simple simple process and I tell you guys this
- 32:44all the time, provide the value to your fellow man, build your
- 32:48skills and do not go down with the sinking ship.
- 32:51That is the Federal Reserve. They know it, we know it and
- 32:54they will continue to lie to Gaslight.
- 32:57I'd all of us you have the power and the tools to survive the
- 33:00great transition today that we find ourselves living through
- 33:03it. But you need to take action and
- 33:06not push it off till tomorrow. Being aware of the situation is
- 33:09not enough. You need to take action as well.
- 33:13You need to do it today. It's as simple as downloading
- 33:16blue wallet or Moon wallet on your phone.
- 33:18Now, this isn't the final step, but start somewhere move towards
- 33:22getting a significant a while amount of your wealth in
- 33:25Bitcoin. That the inevitable end of the
- 33:29dollar doesn't hurt you and your family.
- 33:31Yes, again, I am being a little hyperbolic, but we are watching
- 33:35this play out in real time. It could take ten years five
- 33:38years. It could take 20 years, if you
- 33:41know, a little bit of History, we may be in the beginning of
- 33:44phases and I know a lot of bitcoiners kind of connected to
- 33:47the idea of hyperinflation. And why Mark, Germany, and I'm
- 33:52not going to say that the US currency is going to
- 33:55hyper-inflated overnight. All I'm Saying is that they
- 33:58cannot stop printing money. They have to continue to print
- 34:02money and we all know what the inevitable end of printing
- 34:06money. Is it is hyperinflation of Fiat
- 34:08currencies and we are seeing in real time that Nations around
- 34:11the world have been pushed too hard and they are posturing
- 34:15against the US dollar hegemony. Now, what can we do again?
- 34:20It's very simple. Take your Bitcoin into self
- 34:22custody. Write down your seed phrase and
- 34:25provide more value. Get Skills up, build a community
- 34:28around you guys so that you are not affected.
- 34:31Anyways. Tell, I know, I ranted.
- 34:35I know I went hard. But what are your thoughts on
- 34:36all this? I think that some of the things
- 34:39that people are saying in Chad is extremely applicable to right
- 34:41now. A couple people have pointed out
- 34:43how things move faster now and we continually compare things
- 34:47that are happening. Now, using the time scales, the
- 34:50infrastructure, the ideas of the past, like oh something happened
- 34:54over the course of 100 years back then it's like, yeah.
- 34:56But then you had a dude with a pickaxe Mining and out there in
- 34:59the field with his home and maybe maybe some moxon plowing
- 35:04the fields. Now we have Caterpillar tractors
- 35:06that can do the work of an oxen and a team of men in my new
- 35:10fraction of the amount of time and everything is that way.
- 35:14Think about how long it took to get a message from say New York
- 35:17over to Paris back a hundred years ago, you've got to write
- 35:20it out on a piece of paper that takes time.
- 35:22You've got to give it to the guy.
- 35:23He's got to take it to the boat that's got to go across the
- 35:25pond. That's gotta mean that's that's
- 35:26months of travel and time and does it get lost or they
- 35:29actually get it there at assuming everything goes
- 35:31correctly. You're talking about.
- 35:33Months. I am minimum, I'm guessing like
- 35:35three months or something. I mean now telegram signal.
- 35:39Whatever an email. Boom it's there.
- 35:41I type it out, Gmail properly. Make sure is that I say what I
- 35:45want to say it autocompletes things that make suggestions.
- 35:48I mean it's it's mind-blowing so to think that things are
- 35:51happening on the same time scale.
- 35:53Now the way they did even 10 years ago is laughable things
- 35:57happen. So fast.
- 35:59So no matter where you think that we're at in this transition
- 36:01from this to that at the US dollar to The Brick.
- 36:04So you want to whatever we are, no matter where it's at.
- 36:08This is undeniable right now. We're one day closer to big
- 36:12changes than we were yesterday, and that will always be the
- 36:15case. So, even if we're on the uptick,
- 36:17which I definitely don't think we are in terms of u.s. dollar
- 36:20hegemony. We're somewhere closer to that
- 36:23change. So is that happening tomorrow?
- 36:25Probably not tomorrow next year. Don't know.
- 36:27Five years, don't know. 10 years.
- 36:29Don't know. In my lifetime seems likely my
- 36:33Elves lifetime my their children's almost certainly like
- 36:36the idea that oh no, the u.s. dollar is here to say, and
- 36:39nothing will ever change is, I mean, is insane.
- 36:42It's insane. It's like that's like somebody
- 36:43in the middle of the Rome. I mean you see these pictures
- 36:46coming out of Paris where the city's literally burning behind
- 36:48them and everything is fine. Like I don't know if they're
- 36:53posing, if it's for a meme to put online, if it's board.
- 36:56Like if it is hey, good job. That was funny.
- 36:59But if it's not and they're like if that's actually what they're
- 37:02Doing the city is literally burning down around your ears
- 37:05like Mouse. Go out to fifty thousand dollars
- 37:07lunch or whatever the hell it is that doing over the what can get
- 37:10your head straight people get your life, right?
- 37:12I'm not saying that you should put everything that you have,
- 37:14sell your chairs asleep on the floor to put it all in Bitcoin.
- 37:17All I'm going to do is repeat two people Odell and Foss, stay
- 37:23humble, Stacks at and be off zero.
- 37:25Don't have zero, that's all I'm saying.
- 37:27I'm not saying sell everything you have and your first born,
- 37:30your arm and a kidney. Don't do that.
- 37:33But don't have zero either have some amount Agreed, 100% agree,
- 37:38and to your point. And actually to the chats point,
- 37:41I think we forget how quickly information is moving through
- 37:45society and we have the recent example of SV be the Silicon
- 37:49Valley Bank. Like we had a seemingly well-run
- 37:53Bank collapse in 24 hours and we saw Credit.
- 37:56Suisse basically do the same thing.
- 37:57A hundred years just come toppling down overnight.
- 38:01Like I do, I really do think that people underestimate like
- 38:05the power of you guys tweeting the power of all of us being
- 38:08interconnected. As much as I am putting the
- 38:11caveat and the context of like, look, this may play out a lot
- 38:14longer than we know it will. There's also the potential for
- 38:17this to play out a lot quicker than we even understand.
- 38:20And this is part of us just being an interconnected modern
- 38:23world and it's just one of those things where I always bring it
- 38:27back down to bitcoin, you know, like, I'm just so glad I'm a bit
- 38:30corner. I'm so glad that I don't have.
- 38:32To just abide by the whims of these people.
- 38:35These, you know, monetary demons the unproductive class because
- 38:38the central planners will ruin all of this.
- 38:41They, it may take a long time. It may happen overnight, but
- 38:44it's inevitable that those, that print money, those with the
- 38:46power of money will hyper inflate the currency and it's
- 38:49all about, like, be prepared for this before.
- 38:52What's the saying you want your Bitcoin?
- 38:55You want to Stack Bitcoin today? Because before you need it it is
- 38:59too late. And this is all we're kind of
- 39:01trying to say look We understand what is going on here.
- 39:04We have the asymmetric knowledge, and more people are
- 39:07waking up to this game. On a geopolitical level, not
- 39:10just on an individual level, like we are really in different
- 39:13times Dorothy and you just better, prepare yourself, take
- 39:16that Bitcoin into self custody and protect yourself and your
- 39:19family. Anyways Del let's get into the
- 39:21News segment we need we got a lot of time.

- 40:06So over on the Motley Fool which is a website that I guess hires
- 40:11people to use their fingers to type things and sometimes that's
- 40:15good stuff and oftentimes it's other stuff but today they put
- 40:19some stuff out that makes a lot of sense and it resonates with
- 40:22people that have been paying attention to this type of stuff.
- 40:25Bitcoin uses 50 times less energy than traditional banking
- 40:29new study shows. The Bitcoin blockchain gets a
- 40:31bad rap from environmentalists and critics and green skull here
- 40:35because it's Oof of work, programming used to settle
- 40:37transactions is widely portrayed as a hoggish energy, Glutton,
- 40:41but stomping. All over the ecological ideas,
- 40:44with its massive carbon footprint.
- 40:46Some of the most frequently touted research bashing Bitcoins
- 40:49power. Use comes from the University of
- 40:50Cambridge which pegs Bitcoins, annual power drain, at more than
- 40:54one hundred Twenty-One terawatt-hours ranking in the
- 40:57top. 30 electricity consumers, worldwide.
- 41:00In fact, if Bitcoin was a country, it would be sucking
- 41:03down more energy than either the Netherlands or Pakistan.
- 41:05According The Cambridge data to give a sense of how much energy
- 41:08that is the world count website states that a single TW can
- 41:12power 10 billion 100 watt bulbs. At the same time and the power
- 41:17panning against Bitcoin isn't just from theoretical academics
- 41:21Academia, and secondly nians. It's also coming from the
- 41:24leaders within the crypto Community itself.
- 41:26Okay. Yeah, we'll be self-proclaimed
- 41:28leaders. I suppose it's essential to
- 41:30compare Bitcoins energy. This is from the research
- 41:33Bitcoins energy consumption with all the aspects of the
- 41:35classical. Repayment system.
- 41:36Yes and other things as well. This covers banknotes and coins
- 41:39cash management in ATM systems card payments point of sale.
- 41:43POS payments, Banking and intubating energy consumption,
- 41:46Etc. So all the ATM's, all the the
- 41:48card things that you're using the scanners, the registers at
- 41:51the stores, all of the stuff for the traditional banking system,
- 41:54they're talking about here. We've endeavored in our paper to
- 41:56answer mathematically and scientifically all these
- 41:59challenges for the benefit of decision, makers, researchers,
- 42:03and politicians legislators and lid industry Representatives.
- 42:06Stayed in the white paper. Perhaps even more electrifying,
- 42:09were the result value chain discovered using physics.
- 42:11That's good place to start information science and
- 42:13economics to compute compare and Define an accurate energy.
- 42:16Use assessment of the Trisha traditional banking system which
- 42:19was determined to have a shocking annual use profile of
- 42:234980. One compared to Bitcoins 89.
- 42:28We've demonstrated the Bitcoin consumes 56 times less energy
- 42:33than the classical system and I don't think that's even a cow.
- 42:36Waiting for all of the the people required to fund it that
- 42:41system or not funded. But to to operate that system,
- 42:44how many people are driving in their cars to get to these
- 42:47places to the bank's? How many people like?
- 42:49There's so much more than just the lights and the computers at
- 42:52the banks that require these things to operate any of that at
- 42:56the single transaction, level a proof-of-work.
- 42:58Transaction proves to be 125 times more energy efficient when
- 43:02the Bitcoin lightning layer is compared the instant payment
- 43:05scheme Bitcoin. Gaines exponentially in
- 43:07scalability and efficiency proving to be up to a million
- 43:11times more energy, efficient per transaction, than instant
- 43:15payments. So the long and short here is
- 43:18that Bitcoin as commonly being demonized, unnecessarily wrongly
- 43:24from people that are either ignorant or have something out
- 43:27to, to Value from Attack. They're not to Value to, to gain
- 43:31from attacking Bitcoin, people like like that, the whole
- 43:34Satoshi, and Greenpeace they're out here touting their own
- 43:38thing, ball. Bashing Bitcoins, like, look if
- 43:41your thing was so good, it would work on its own Merit.
- 43:43It, you don't have to go and talk about it.
- 43:45When's the last time you saw in and out, have an ad for how good
- 43:48their burgers are, they don't have ads.
- 43:51You just know. It's the best drive-through out
- 43:52there in, in the world of fast food in announce, got the best
- 43:55burgers. They don't have to advertise.
- 43:56They're not attacking McDonald's are not attacking anybody.
- 43:58They just make good burgers from good quality stuff.
- 44:01I mean, it's so fast food, but whatever.
- 44:04Bitcoin is clearly a winner when it comes to this and people back
- 44:09to the, the, the spread of information.
- 44:11It's just going to take a few people few Boomers going.
- 44:13Oh, I just took my money out of the bank, put it into Bitcoin,
- 44:16and my, my grandson, my son, my whoever, my buddy, showed me
- 44:19that I can just move this, and I don't have to wait.
- 44:22You don't have to wait. I have holds on these checks
- 44:24over x amount of money. Yeah, well, I moved three
- 44:26million dollars and there was a hole.
- 44:28No, there's no hold. Would you do I just sent it?
- 44:31We're anywhere I wanted. Oh, interesting.
- 44:34Much energy did that use? As if that's going to come up to
- 44:36someone Boomers mind, they're not going to care about the
- 44:37energy. Oh, I don't know, didn't use
- 44:39anything? My phone tap of a button over
- 44:42here. Continuing the news from coin
- 44:43papers is a little bit different but following the whole top down
- 44:48regulation that that want people want to impose on this YouTube,
- 44:51an anonymous crypto transfers of over 1000 Euro, which isn't all
- 44:56that much and it's actually less and less.
- 44:58As time goes on, the so-called you single rule book, detailing
- 45:02rules of Being due diligence on customers, interesting handling,
- 45:08transparency of beneficial owners disclosing the identity
- 45:12of the ultimate owner controlling an entity through a
- 45:14web of other entities and dealing with the use of
- 45:16anonymous instruments, such as crypto assets, the sixth
- 45:20anti-money laundering directive. So they've had five more than
- 45:23these enduring authorities. Access to necessary.
- 45:27Who determines necessary real quick?
- 45:29Who me you? I don't know.
- 45:31I'm not smart enough to determine what's necessary.
- 45:34Reliable information, for example, on assets, stored in
- 45:38free zones. I don't know what that means,
- 45:40but I'm guessing on your phone. While it's places that are not
- 45:43under the purview of government people, that want to know these
- 45:46things. The draft establishing the
- 45:48European anti-money laundering Authority MLA for ensuring
- 45:51compliance with a MLA / CF T. Combating the financing of
- 45:55terrorism regulations they can slap whatever names they want on
- 45:58these things. They did, they do to try and get
- 46:00it passed. According to the provisions,
- 46:02contained in the drafts Bank script.
- 46:04Currency companies real and virtual estate agents and some
- 46:08other types of Enterprises, that's that's pretty Broad.
- 46:12We'll have to conduct a check up on their customers identity and
- 46:15assets the regulations. Also put a cap on transactions.
- 46:19The limit has been set to 7,000 Euro, for cash and 1,000 Euro,
- 46:25which is about 1087 USD. At the time of writing for
- 46:28anonymous cryptocurrency transfers, the new European
- 46:31Watchdog will monitor, who's setting that Watchdog system of
- 46:36will monitor emerging problems. Related to money laundering in
- 46:39the financial system for us. It is important.
- 46:41The new Authority cop Wait to cooperate, very closely with the
- 46:44national supervisors and that it directly supervises, the
- 46:47riskiest crypto assets service providers and companies in the
- 46:51financial sector that operate in several member states.
- 46:53For the first time all the drafts had sickenin, significant
- 46:57backing, 99m EPS, voted in favor of the single book with eight
- 47:00against and six abstentions. The second Bill scored
- 47:04respectively, one of 750 and the latter, 10 to 11 to the
- 47:09negotiations on the final shape of the bill will start.
- 47:12At the plenary session of the European Parliament of in April
- 47:16these terms that they're using these.
- 47:18These riskiest crypto who determines that there's so many
- 47:23of this, that just falls under some person, or some board that
- 47:26just gets to say whatever it is. They want you can put almost
- 47:29anything you want under unnie, any unnie goodness, gracious.
- 47:33So many of these things are umbrellas that they could shove
- 47:36whatever they want under that. Oh, you're going out and buying
- 47:39XYZ that's going to fall under money laundering.
- 47:42You're going to go and do this, that's over this, that's these
- 47:44amounts. They tried to do this, just,
- 47:46this glass taxis in the US where they wanted to have every single
- 47:49transaction over 60 or not sixty six hundred dollars on venmo or
- 47:53all these two transactions. Anything happening to be
- 47:56monitored and recorded. Thankfully, they push that off,
- 47:58I hope indefinitely. But the amount of control and
- 48:02top-down regulation that these different authorities want is a,
- 48:07it's an insatiable monster. And that is all that govern, it
- 48:11government grows. Rose and grows and grows it,
- 48:13almost never shrinks. And if it does it just shrinks
- 48:17for like it's like back one step forward.
- 48:20Another 10. It's just like okay well we'll
- 48:22reduce this to make the peons happy for a moment.
- 48:25Well secretly sliding in something else and then you find
- 48:27out years later down the road. It's it's insane, the amount of
- 48:31Regulation and control that they want, all in the name of.
- 48:35I mean, I don't even know if they're trying to hide anymore,
- 48:37they're just saying control. It's not don't even really
- 48:40saying that they want anything here in in benefit.
- 48:42Is there just saying due diligence on customers and to
- 48:45Identity and assets? That, I guess the closest thing
- 48:48that the get to a reason is the the anti-terrorism up here, the
- 48:52the combating the financing of terrorism, what's that?
- 48:56Like, if I sell a banana to a guy and then he goes off and
- 48:58good checks a website, that's deemed not appropriate it.
- 49:01Did I financed terrorism terrorism by giving them a
- 49:05banana, who knows? Maybe if they say so craziness.
- 49:11Absolute craziness. Yeah, absolute Madness.
- 49:16And you know I'm going to take a little toxic Bitcoin since here
- 49:21you know as a Bitcoin ER we know Bitcoin is the greenest industry
- 49:24period but I'm not even gonna argue about Bitcoin to energy
- 49:28use or what the EU thinks it's going to do, you know?
- 49:31I know, I know it weighs less than the Fiat system.
- 49:33I know it offers freedom from institutional theft that a
- 49:38government just doesn't want nor wants to allow.
- 49:41Ow. So again I'm going to take the
- 49:43toxic stance of asking and posing a simple question, what
- 49:47are you going to do about it? Because this is what things boil
- 49:50down to the incentives of Bitcoin are too strong to stop
- 49:54Bitcoin miners to stop me and you from saving and Bitcoin.
- 49:58Bitcoin is better money Tech and the free market has freely
- 50:02chosen Bitcoin. And no amount of pontificating
- 50:06from people that are Bitcoin critics or people that are
- 50:10talking about Bitcoins environmental, use, whatever
- 50:13excetera the boils down to. What are you going to do about
- 50:17it? Because you can cry all you
- 50:19want. You can say whatever you want to
- 50:21stop Bitcoin. But Bitcoin is a peaceful
- 50:24Revolution and people opt into the Bitcoin network of their
- 50:27Free Will. And if you want to stop this
- 50:30you're going to have to reveal your hand.
- 50:32You want to Violent violently forced people to use a money
- 50:36that steals from them. Now, are you willing to say this
- 50:39upfront? No, they are.
- 50:41Going to cloak this in all my environment I you know Bitcoin
- 50:44energy, use Fudd or Bitcoin is for criminals.
- 50:47The same thing. We've been fighting for the last
- 50:4910. 12 years is the narrative war that we find ourselves in
- 50:55but it all boils down to one thing and it's something we
- 50:59talked about a lot on this show and it's something we talked
- 51:00about a lot on Twitter. It is that Bitcoin has
- 51:03disintermediated, the Monopoly on violence, and the powers that
- 51:07be do not want to give up that power easily.
- 51:11So I'm not going to argue the use of Bitcoin a Bitcoins energy
- 51:16use anymore. I'm not going to try to lean
- 51:19into these people's narratives in regards to 0.
- 51:22Bitcoin is a fully transparent, Ledger 00, Bitcoin uses less
- 51:26energy than the Fiat system. You know, like I don't see War
- 51:30warships, backing up the Bitcoin Network like it does for the
- 51:32Fiat money system. And I think this is the signal
- 51:36here is because these people are not arguing and get good faith.
- 51:42They simply want to control, you control your family and be
- 51:46institutionally legalized stealing from you and they want
- 51:51to force you into the system. They're just too cowardice to
- 51:55say that up front. So they're going to click this
- 51:57and all kinds of feel-good narratives but it all boils down
- 51:59to. What are you going to do about
- 52:01it? I'm not going to stop running my
- 52:02nodes. I know you guys aren't.
- 52:04I know the Bitcoin miners aren't going to make a bad economic
- 52:07decision and not run their Bitcoin miners like it's very
- 52:10simple. Economics.
- 52:11Right now, the market free market has freely chosen
- 52:15Bitcoin. We have opted into the network.
- 52:17This is a peaceful Revolution. All we really want to do is stop
- 52:21getting stolen from. And now, these people are going
- 52:24to have to eventually reveal their hand that what they really
- 52:27want to do is force you guys violently to use a money.
- 52:32That steals from you. This is the bottom line and I
- 52:36maybe I'm getting frustrated this morning and we're arguing
- 52:39about the merits of bit Coin, when obviously around the world,
- 52:43we have Global consensus that Bitcoin has value.
- 52:46Because it's what what's what's it trading at right now?
- 52:4928k the world has chosen Bitcoin and they will continue to do.
- 52:54So as we opted, out of the Fiat, Madness.
- 52:58Anyways, great great. Great.
- 53:00Great covering of today, do, but let's get into everyone favorite
- 53:03portion of the show that mean review.
- 53:08The daily meme review brought to you by Kaboom racks.
- 53:12I get this question all the time.
- 53:13Nico. Where should I buy Bitcoin?
- 53:15Miners to answer is Kaboom racks.
- 53:17It's the best place to buy Bitcoin miners.
- 53:20That's where you're going to find the best deals and the best
- 53:22prices start. Your mining Utopia today, to
- 53:25check out their racks. You got to go to T dot me, slash

- 53:31start your mining Journey today. Kaboom racks.
- 53:35Kaboom. You already know this is the
- 53:38main review sponsored by our boys over at Kaboom racks, as we
- 53:42continuously cover on the show. We are in an information War
- 53:47currently in real-time. And Tweeter, the bullets memes
- 53:50are the artillery. We need to continue to ridicule.
- 53:53The corporate press continue to get the cause of action out
- 53:57there. So more people wake up to the
- 53:59reality of what is going on right now.
- 54:02Put truth in art spread the signal, get more people on the
- 54:05Bitcoin standard. But hey, as I've been chastised
- 54:09in the past memes are not enough, it is only half the
- 54:12battle. Telling people what to do is
- 54:16where the memes come in. And the second part is getting
- 54:19people to hold Bitcoin, saving Bitcoin, and spread Bighorn, and
- 54:23opt into the circular economy that is Bitcoin.
- 54:26Anyways, first and foremost, its first meme is by friend of the
- 54:30show. Greg zaj one or Greg sighs, you
- 54:33know, I forget which one what you go by.
- 54:35Now he goes been seeing a lot of Washing just remember we see
- 54:38you. We got a little little parasite,
- 54:42worm sitting in a couch in someone's stomach i-i'm guessing
- 54:47and we got some white fluid jumping on its head and shit
- 54:50coin money. And we got some more white fluid
- 54:53and VC money and the orange watching is, but guys, I love
- 54:56Bitcoin. Remember, I'm a big hunter.
- 54:58Remember, we're all in this together.
- 55:00No, there's Bitcoin. And there's shit coin and we are
- 55:03not the same. Anyways, there's next meme is by
- 55:06Another friend of the show R opium AKA rope and he goes build
- 55:09black markets. Not telling you to do anything
- 55:12illegal. All I'm saying is Bitcoin is
- 55:14freely chosen free market money and there's nothing a government
- 55:18bureaucrat can do to stop it. Anyways, we got this very
- 55:22psychedelic, transparent view of I'm guessing different
- 55:27dimensions ropes, going to kill me because I'm butchering his
- 55:29meme. Anyways, we got, we got a
- 55:32skeleton with flames around, and he's going towards the rainbow,
- 55:35maybe the singularity, And he's pulling someone else and he goes
- 55:39fuck their money and he's pulling them through the Fiat
- 55:42Matrix and he goes, so the state hates me.
- 55:44But why would they do this? Why would they do that?
- 55:49Here, we are as bitcoiners, just trying to pull people out of the
- 55:51Fiat Matrix and this is what it feels like you got to go through
- 55:56the flames and come out a Rising Phoenix.
- 55:58I don't know, rope you tell me the DM is if I butchered that
- 56:01one. I know I did.
- 56:02Anyways. This next one is by the BTC
- 56:05therapist and he goes one thing. We can all agree on hashtag BTC
- 56:10and this is a classic update of the Bitcoin Network Bitcoin.
- 56:13No network and you can see a bunch of people connected via
- 56:18the Bitcoin Network in the Bitcoin logos in the middle and
- 56:20we have countries here. What Venezuela Brazil, America
- 56:23Russia, this Italy El Salvador. I think that's turkey or maybe
- 56:29that one. I don't know.
- 56:31I dude I'm an American Public School student.
- 56:33I don't know Flags. Anyways it's just it's just an
- 56:36example. Of Bitcoin is about peer-to-peer
- 56:40running the code and connecting the world via a monetary Ledger
- 56:44that cannot get debased. Anyways this next meme is by
- 56:47relay app on Twitter and it goes just bit Corner things and
- 56:50there's a picture of a guy, taking a selfie and behind him,
- 56:53there is a huge fire and the huge fire is my bank account.
- 56:59And the guy taking a selfie is me buying we just one more dip.
- 57:02Just one more dip. What I can, I can avoid lunch
- 57:06one more time. I'm and stacks more Bitcoin.
- 57:08This is the way I no I no doubt told you don't sell your kidneys
- 57:11and your right arm and your chair for Bitcoin but I'm gonna
- 57:15double down and say so everything for more Bitcoin.
- 57:18Now, be responsible. This is not Financial advice.
- 57:20Just do what's best for you. Anyways, this last meme is by at
- 57:24bold Bitcoin on Twitter and it goes break out of the Matrix
- 57:27with Bitcoin and we got I think this is Alice in Wonderland a
- 57:31pencil dong of Alice in Wonderland and it goes when you
