- 0:00All right. What's up guys?
- 0:01What's up, how you doing? It's your boy.
- 0:03It's your boy, Opti. We are here.
- 0:06Hold on. I just realized I forgot to turn
- 0:08the spaces on, but we're doing this stuff live now, guys,
- 0:11completely live. I am my own producer, but guys,
- 0:15how you doing? I'm glad to be here.
- 0:17It's always good to be here on these T TOs.
- 0:21And as you guys know, I've already me and trench already
- 0:24had a great, great mini conversation behind the scenes,
- 0:27but as you guys know, the whole theme of this TTL is on this
- 0:34idea of living the Bitcoin Lifestyle, the Bitcoin, or
- 0:38lifestyle. And as I titled this, I
- 0:41fundamentally believe that proof of work is much more than just
- 0:44about Bitcoin mining. It's a way of life and it's
- 0:46something I touch on a lot about embodying, our message.
- 0:50And if we can just portray our actions to be louder than our
- 0:55words, then we're going to get more people on the Bitcoin
- 0:57standard and I couldn't have picked.
- 1:00Picked a better, dude to conversate this with the
- 1:04infamous then at Aureus hottel tarantula, so Ima bring them in.
- 1:09For those that don't know, this is my friend, my colleague, my
- 1:13peer, the one and only hottel tarantula in my opinion, one of
- 1:18the Legends. And and not, not only just a
- 1:20legend but like really truthfully, he is who he is and
- 1:26there's no faking the funk. Can do it.
- 1:32Let's go. Alright guys, so I took I took
- 1:36some tweets from my boy, tarantulas Twitter the other
- 1:40day. And as I knew he was coming in,
- 1:43I had to I had to find things that we can talk about because
- 1:47him and I are on the same length on the save.
- 1:49Wavelength, sorry. And a lot of the things I talked
- 1:52about, he talks about, obviously, I say consistently
- 1:55everywhere that anyone will listen.
- 1:57We're I'll just saying the same thing in different ways and
- 1:59trying to get more people to see the world, how we see.
- 2:02And, and I think this is all that big Corners are doing
- 2:05anyways. I saw this tweet and we were
- 2:07laughing about it. This right before we start.
- 2:09It's like, wait. I think it was yesterday and
- 2:10he's like, nah, they go to today and so like, hey, I'm still only
- 2:14in block height, bro. Like block height is the only
- 2:16only number that I know. Number goes up in Block, I, but
- 2:19anyways, before I ran too much, here's this tweet and you put it
- 2:25on your Twitter on your timeline.
- 2:27Don't explain your philosophy, embody it and I think this is
- 2:31something that I am. I'm on the same wavelength.
- 2:34This is something that I think about consistently.
- 2:36It's like okay, how do we get this message across it to be a
- 2:40good human and show people that part of that process is Bitcoin
- 2:44is the sound money gospel that we that we always talk about,
- 2:48bro. So what what sparked this idea?
- 2:51What's been on your mind lately and then we'll jump into a combo
- 2:55from there. well so in regards to what's been on my mind
- 3:00lately, it's more or less like I see a lot of stuff going on in
- 3:04the world and a lot of talk and a lot of action but it's like
- 3:08where's the walk that goes with the talk you know, it's a Fiat
- 3:13world and so so that I just I think to myself If you're not
- 3:20willing to be what you're talking about, then just shut
- 3:28up. What's the point?
- 3:32I mean now everything is seems like it's a facade, you know,
- 3:37there is a lot of people out there that look for attention
- 3:42and Cloud. But are they getting up every
- 3:43day and doing the things that are necessary in order to be
- 3:48successful? Able to literally like you, like
- 3:55I said, embodied the things that they preach and philosophize to
- 4:00others, it's so important. If people don't do things like
- 4:08that, they're literally living a proof of stake life and just
- 4:12waiting for And my opinion, somebody else to tell them what
- 4:19to do. And well, real women and real
- 4:22men, don't wait to be told what to do.
- 4:24They see what needs to be done, and then they go and do it.
- 4:28So you embody it, ours from absolute bars.
- 4:32And this is something that I mean obviously you know, I am
- 4:36also only human and I've definitely caught myself in
- 4:39certain areas in this journey and this hero's journey of being
- 4:42a Bitcoin or where I realized like wow my really embodying
- 4:45everything that I say I am and it's really made me audit myself
- 4:50and be like, okay, where is my weaknesses?
- 4:53How can I get better? And my building skills to become
- 4:56a better person or am - LARPing on the internet.
- 4:59And, you know, the thing about it, like, it starts with really
- 5:05small things that are personal to the self that you may not
- 5:09think about, like, for example, once in a while, I'm I would go
- 5:13out and have like ice cream or something sweet.
- 5:17And I would wreck myself on that it like added sugar, right?
- 5:21And so I, you know, I made a decision and I cut it out and
- 5:26it's and I'm not Have an incorporated in the after.
- 5:29It's like these little tiny things that you don't really
- 5:33think about that. Create the reality of embodiment
- 5:37for you. It's like you, when do you
- 5:39decide to demand the best from yourself and start, literally,
- 5:43just put every decision like it's every decision that you
- 5:48come up there, you're hit with every day is going to be a
- 5:52determining factor in whether or not you can raise your self
- 5:55confidence and and Be self-aware and create a better existence
- 6:03for yourself. It seems miniscule and
- 6:07insignificant but even the smallest decision.
- 6:10Like, what am I going to am? I going to have this with my
- 6:13lunch on my not going to have this on my lunch?
- 6:15Like, even things like that, they, they speak to the
- 6:19embodiment. It's like everything you got to.
- 6:22You got to do everything. Yeah, man.
- 6:25And you kind of you, you kind of sparked this this quote that our
- 6:29our, our mutual friend rope, put on his Twitter.
- 6:33I think this morning and he basically said, like, what was
- 6:36it? Exactly is like hard money won't
- 6:38change like the broken aspects of your life and like it is
- 6:42obviously like something about Bitcoin about it being like a
- 6:46pillar of Truth where like you can build on it and you can
- 6:50revolve your life around the hard money aspects of Bitcoin.
- 6:54But you're not going to just get there by huddling Bitcoin, like
- 6:57you, you need to put in the work and to become a better person,
- 7:00audit yourself and build the skills.
- 7:02You know, cut off the fat. As I said in the past it's like
- 7:06where your Marble Slab. Are you are you are you make a
- 7:09Angelo and you know making making yourself into that statue
- 7:14that you've always wanted to be because now you have the tools
- 7:16and I don't think there's an excuse, that's why I get up at
- 7:193:30 in the morning, push iron and listen to stoic quotes while
- 7:23I do it. It.
- 7:26Is that it's very interesting. How bunch of big Corners like we
- 7:38all have the same kind of selling point?
- 7:40That least a lot of the people that I consider friend.
- 7:42It's like, yeah, we have hard money.
- 7:43We also like to like, you know, meditate on stoic philosophy.
- 7:47Make sure we're fit, mentally, make sure we're fit on a
- 7:49physical level as well. And I saw another tweet where
- 7:53you put it on, On your Twitter and it sounds like literally you
- 7:56read. You a reading like Marcus
- 7:57Aurelius and then you put it on your Twitter and you said you
- 8:00cannot conquer the world until you conquer yourself.
- 8:02And when I saw that I'm like, bro, like that's the stuff I
- 8:06think more people need to hear need to be on it's like Nico
- 8:09told me in in private a few times and I've had a few
- 8:13friends, tell me as well, like, Clancy, shouts out to the
- 8:15Rogers. They said exactly.
- 8:20And they said basically the same thing, it's like, They told me
- 8:24personally, they were talking about me in particular, but I
- 8:27think this is a more General message and it's like I said,
- 8:30all the time fix your mind and your ass will follow.
- 8:32And there's like something about acknowledging where you are
- 8:36knowing that, hey, if I want to hottel these sets, I might need
- 8:40to build some discipline. I might need to have a longer
- 8:43term view. I'm going to have to conquer my
- 8:45weak behaviors that weakness within myself so that I can
- 8:48become the person that can usher in these sets.
- 8:51And I don't think I don't know if you stole this from.
- 8:53You know, Marcus Aurelius himself but you cannot conquer
- 8:55the world until you conquer yourself.
- 8:57And there are no your that there's so many like
- 9:05meditations. I think Marcus Aurelius has
- 9:09logged his meditations and and it's been written and I read and
- 9:14I listen to these things every day.
- 9:17And yeah, that's one of them just like you, you can't.
- 9:23To unless you master yourself, there's there's no point you
- 9:27know, and discipline is your best friend.
- 9:31It will get you through anything.
- 9:34It most people seem to have issue with that nowadays, I
- 9:37think. And I kind of kind of put it up
- 9:40too. Like participation trophies,
- 9:44almost. If you don't have to steal your
- 9:47mind and your body and yourself in order to succeed just like
- 9:51you're gonna go the route and path of least resistance in
- 9:54order to just get where you want to go and and those who don't
- 9:58deal with struggle or hardship, never truly temper their
- 10:01character and discover who they really are.
- 10:03And so what we end up with is a world full of fucking LARPing
- 10:07bullshit, Which we will be dealing with right now, Mars
- 10:14Bars and you kind of Spike seems like a totally off topic
- 10:19question but it's something you said and it kind of sparked my
- 10:24head and it's like finding the discipline within yourself
- 10:28because you're going to need discipline to follow through on
- 10:30the Jato. Like, once you once, you know
- 10:32why you hot oil. Once you know why you're holding
- 10:34Bitcoin, like people are lying. If they didn't tell you that
- 10:37you're going to need discipline to maintain this path.
- 10:41You kind of sparked this idea in my head right now and is the
- 10:43question. I'm going to ask you when we can
- 10:44both go through it right now is like, do you think bitcoiners
- 10:46are made are or our bitcoiners called?
- 10:51Forged Ford's, I love it. According to the flames, you get
- 10:58you get burned on the stove and you know how many people had to
- 11:02touch the stove? You know, it's like that and and
- 11:06then there's a point where you either an individual comes to it
- 11:12and they, they know too much and you have to wonder how that is,
- 11:18well, it's because they literally come to it and say,
- 11:21That they know better when it comes to bitcoin, and then they
- 11:24don't get it. And then later on down the road,
- 11:26they come back and get it at the price they deserve.
- 11:30And it's like, well, what happened here?
- 11:32There was a lack of humility. There was a lack of the
- 11:35inability to be humble and maybe admit that you don't know
- 11:38everything that you think, you know, and this gets people rekt.
- 11:42It's been one of the Bitcoin has been one of the most powerful
- 11:45teachers for me in my life and I've been to a lot of different
- 11:51places in the World and I've met a lot of different people.
- 11:54In one thing that's been constant is that The Closer I
- 11:58Get to truth. The more pain seems to be
- 12:01revealed and experience and like when it comes to big coin, the
- 12:05truth is immutable and the pain. When it comes to everything
- 12:11that's been portrayed upon me and my life and my family by the
- 12:15institutions and governments around the world, is it just
- 12:20keeps increasing. And so so, Like, I can't not
- 12:25Embrace this. You know, it's like, what are
- 12:27you going to put it? Where are you doing anybody?
- 12:30Who who comes this route and sees it did?
- 12:34But isn't willing to embrace, I feel bad for them because their
- 12:39ego is like getting in their way and it's one of the other
- 12:42things. So a lot of the stoic
- 12:44meditations, I like to frequent to read and listen to talk about
- 12:48is like the ego, like, it's The whole entirety of life is bigger
- 12:53than self and mean you can find happiness and I but also I
- 12:58brings pain. So like what are you doing?
- 13:01Like Bitcoin is their humble yourself be willing to admit
- 13:06when you know the when you don't know and embrace something new
- 13:11like experience something that's different and grow you get that
- 13:15uncomfortable uneasy feeling when you step outside your
- 13:17comfort zone and then you experience growth now.
- 13:21If people are scared, then I'm going to do that, they're going
- 13:24to continue down the path that they're on.
- 13:26And those are the people who know better, they're ultimately
- 13:30afraid. And then the think, you know,
- 13:33this is what it is and and then unfortunately, their flame will
- 13:37die because I don't see, I don't see I student as a vessel like
- 13:43Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. And other stoic said, a student
- 13:47is a Ember, a, a flame to be. And old and turned into a
- 13:53complex operation that anything tossed upon will be consumed by
- 13:56that fire. When it comes to the thirst and
- 13:58hunger for knowledge. And so, if I'm truly, you know,
- 14:04going to be that, that student, you know, when it comes to other
- 14:08people, if they're also going to be a student in that nature, can
- 14:12they be willing to, you know, Put themselves aside and allow
- 14:19the smoke to start to come forth and bring up the Embers to
- 14:24Kindle that fire or will they go the route of knowing better and
- 14:29in staying in the state that they're already in which is
- 14:33unfortunately in the Fiat system its pain with or without truth.
- 14:38So they're really just running towards more pain but they're
- 14:41not getting the ability to see any truth.
- 14:44It's very sad bro. Hit him with a dude.
- 14:47Hit him with it. I was having this conversation
- 14:50this morning and it's it's exactly what you're saying.
- 14:56Like I don't I wouldn't call it a realization but it's this idea
- 15:00of like look as bitcoiners. I feel like we need to act more.
- 15:04Like we know we have the answers like we and you said it best.
- 15:07It's like I've always considered myself a student of Life, a
- 15:10student of reality. Like I consider myself a Fire of
- 15:13Truth and I have been humbled enough to acknowledge the fact
- 15:20that I don't know everything and going through the pain and
- 15:25realizing look, that pain is growth, it's reminded me.
- 15:29I used to play football when I was a kid and on top of my
- 15:33locker room, it was the the meme, you know, pain is
- 15:35weakness, leaving your body and it's very, it's very
- 15:40interesting, the, the arrogance of the Me out there that thinks
- 15:44they know everything about Bitcoin and then you kind of
- 15:46like audit their life and you're like, yeah you like you're not
- 15:48happy. Like I have the answers.
- 15:50It's right here. It is Bitcoin.
- 15:52Like you can you can alleviate this pain.
- 15:55If you can just humble yourself and realize that you're being
- 15:57very arrogant you're acting like you have all the answers and you
- 16:01know I've learned this lesson through experience and if you
- 16:04don't want to experience what I know to be the truth, then like
- 16:08you're going to continue to wander in the darkness and you
- 16:11said something that reminded me. A of a Nipsey, Hussle quote.
- 16:15And I've been telling myself a lot lately.
- 16:17Yeah, I love Nipsey. I, you know, I've been telling
- 16:19myself this a lot lately, that man, I know, right?
- 16:22He got it, dude. He got he, he was definitely
- 16:25putting the message and music form elevated.
- 16:28Not segregated right there. Let's go.
- 16:31Let's go. And yeah.
- 16:32And the quote was, it's the idea I think it was like, on
- 16:35Instagram. I saw it.
- 16:36It was like a, you know, YouTube shorter, whatever.
- 16:38And it was like it isn't supposed to feel comfortable
- 16:41like if it was comfortable than everyone would be doing.
- 16:43Get. And it's like, when you're going
- 16:44through things like it's not supposed to be comfortable, like
- 16:47growth through the uncomfortable, get through that
- 16:50and find the skills and, and, you know, eliminate the weakness
- 16:54in your own life so that you can get to that point that you want
- 16:57to get to. Like, if it was easy, everyone
- 16:59would be doing it. And I think this is kind of
- 17:02where we are, is bitcoiners. It's like, I really do believe
- 17:04that we're still early adopters and that like, we're still,
- 17:07we're still so early to this grow.
- 17:09And like, if it was easy then, like why would we be called?
- 17:12Why would we be forged? At this moment to like, hear the
- 17:16ringing and the bell and be like, yo, this is the true
- 17:19north. And now I've been called, like,
- 17:22Paul Revere to tell everyone, the she's my baby in the world
- 17:27like, bro, it is. So on point, you know, like
- 17:31there's no game, there's no going back to Fiat.
- 17:33Like, I don't, I'm just, I'm just convinced that.
- 17:36Like, I've said it before, I think, as someone told me it was
- 17:39Julius Caesar, who said, like, burn the ships and move forward
- 17:42and I really do feel This is where I'm at.
- 17:44That's how you go to war once once a, when I Get to land.
- 17:52And we and we make sure on this PR war with burning the boats
- 17:57because there ain't going back, there ain't no going back.
- 18:00That's it. I don't think there is at all,
- 18:03like, I'm 100% convinced. Like, what are we gonna do?
- 18:06What are we going back to Fiat dollars?
- 18:08Like we're going back to paper money for makes no sense to me.
- 18:10It really makes no sense to me but like on this on this topic,
- 18:15like what do you think it's going to take for us to continue
- 18:20to spread this message to like, quote unquote Mass adoption?
- 18:24Is it just living the you just living the philosophy or do
- 18:27pepperoni more pain? That's the thing.
- 18:30I think that everybody has their own tolerance for pain and so
- 18:35not everybody's going to experience the same amount at
- 18:38one time and so that's why I've an individual can live the way
- 18:44that we're talking about and embody what it is that.
- 18:48We're speaking of it'll be easier for people when they do
- 18:51start to experience the pain to recognize the individuals who
- 18:55are Doing what we're doing and they will.
- 19:02It's like a signal, you know, it's like a beacon.
- 19:04It's literally like that guy over there somehow is is still
- 19:08surviving and he somehow is happy every day.
- 19:11How the hell is that a thing? Well, if you maintain that every
- 19:16day and can be consistent towards your goals, you live
- 19:21life in a consistent Manner and people will see that signal and
- 19:24they'll gravitate towards that it's a very strong thing
- 19:27consistent. See is something that, you know,
- 19:30creates a bridge structure and allows you to maintain
- 19:33excellence, and people see that and they gravitate towards it
- 19:37because it's something they also want and yearn for in their own
- 19:40lives. Even if they don't realize it,
- 19:42subconsciously structure is something that humans really?
- 19:46They crave. I mean when it comes to a person
- 19:49if they don't have a goal they are struggling.
- 19:51If you've noticed so that's like the thing about us.
- 19:55Like if we're willing to Everyday step, Up to the plate
- 19:58and be disciplined enough to embody our own philosophies and
- 20:02show people that this is a way that you can be happy and how
- 20:06you can do things and it's gonna be easier for them when they do
- 20:09reach that pain, point su-22 to find the right way.
- 20:14Because, like you said, like when one, what happened was, I
- 20:18gonna happen all one time because not everybody, everybody
- 20:21has a different tolerance for pain.
- 20:23So so it's gonna be important for people like us.
- 20:27Who are willing to do the hard things first, and get that stuff
- 20:35out of the way and show that, you know, this is the way for
- 20:38the people to be able to find it when they're ready.
- 20:42Otherwise it's it's it's otherwise it'd be a lot of
- 20:46wandering around aimlessly. If if there aren't anybody out
- 20:50there willing to eat the blending.
- 20:52So the way you know, the thing is those that we all have faults
- 20:57I have my own imperfections but our imperfections are.
- 21:00What make us perfect as humans and individuals.
- 21:03Like, I guess that like, I recently, I've been battling
- 21:07like sugar like forever, you know, like, I can admit that,
- 21:10like, I don't drink alcohol and do all this to like that.
- 21:12But, like, sweets, I got a sweet tooth, it's crazy.
- 21:15But like, over the I've learned how to like discipline myself
- 21:19and do things this differently. I literally, I'll have fruit or
- 21:24something instead of anything else and like I have no added.
- 21:27Sugars in my diet. Now, for a while and it's
- 21:29amazing but it seems like it's a little stupid things that you
- 21:32don't think about that seem insignificant that.
- 21:35When you win these small battles, it creates a confidence
- 21:38inside. The gives you the ability to
- 21:40persevere to the war. Did preach bro, man.
- 21:46Yeah, no, I 100% agree. And, and honestly, like it's
- 21:51like you your I consider you one of my friends in real life, not
- 21:54just on the internet and it's very refreshing.
- 21:56Like, I haven't seen you since what Pacific Bitcoin and it's
- 21:59very refreshing. Got man, that was a good time.
- 22:03We got a good time. Exactly.
- 22:05But it's very refreshing. Having these conversations
- 22:08because like I've been thinking about this same stuff
- 22:11consistently Yeah, and at times I just think I'm like so naive.
- 22:14I where? It's like, I just tell people.
- 22:15I'm like, bro. Like just live a good life like
- 22:18this is the best signal you can possibly give for Bitcoin.
- 22:21It's like like I say it all the time, like be a shining example
- 22:24of being a good human and then show people that like yell like
- 22:27Bitcoin is part of the reason why I'm here and like this is
- 22:30one of the main reasons why I'm here and you said it best.
- 22:33It's like, people will want to know why you are continuously
- 22:37happy why you're optimistic? Why are you?
- 22:39Why are you like, are able to? World and Conquer it while
- 22:43everyone else is like you know reading on on like the Doom porn
- 22:48that's gross through their television.
- 22:50They're sitting here, you know, sad and mad about the new
- 22:53current thing. It's like, bro, like off kind of
- 22:56this mentally, even even I got to be honest, even in Bitcoin,
- 23:00we get into kind of a worst, I've type mindset sometimes and
- 23:05I was, I've been talking to some people about that, and it's like
- 23:10some of them even tell me they're like, I can Can't
- 23:12sometimes with Twitter because it seems like it's just always -
- 23:15I'm like, you know what? The thing is though is that
- 23:18Bitcoin is the positive and it's the signals that is like a laser
- 23:23beam. Just stood right through all
- 23:25that negativity because that's the fix and so I I get that but
- 23:29at the same time it's like you got to acknowledge it's not
- 23:32going to go away either. So let's let's just look at it
- 23:35for what it is. But it's time time be aware
- 23:42enough to know that we don't. This is there anything?
- 23:46This is the other stoic thing that is the most profound.
- 23:49You have to understand that you don't control anything outside
- 23:52of here when it comes to life in general, everything outside your
- 23:56thoughts in your mind, you don't control.
- 23:58And some people don't even controlled that, and that's very
- 24:01difficult. And so, With, with Bitcoin in
- 24:09the negativity and everything else like that, you don't
- 24:12necessarily have to feed into that negativity because you
- 24:15can't control what other people are going to say and do their
- 24:18negativity is always going to be there.
- 24:19But what you can control is right here and whether or not
- 24:22you feed that and how you perceive it and how you portray
- 24:26it to others and how you basically, you re put it back
- 24:30together and agree regurgitated to other people, you can put it
- 24:33in. In a way that isn't so.
- 24:36Doom Griffin, you know, and, and that is another part of, you
- 24:42know, anybody in the philosophy, if you're going to be happy all
- 24:46the time. Don't fuck dhamma talking about
- 24:49Doom stuff all the time. Like it's not gonna, it's a
- 24:53nuggets oxymoronic in in itself. But since it's not gonna work
- 24:57and so people are going to people that are experiencing
- 25:01pain. Better in the Fiat system who
- 25:03are on Prozac and like falsifiable e happy and they
- 25:07don't understand why. Like those people will not deal
- 25:12with the do MERS, the Doom scrollers, they're not gonna,
- 25:15they're gonna be like I'm just trying to Like figure it out and
- 25:19it's everything sucks right now and I can't handle all this
- 25:23negativity. So I think that it's important
- 25:26that we also if we are happy about what we're doing and how
- 25:31we're living that we don't just portray all the negative stuff
- 25:36that we see through big the lens of Bitcoin that we also try to
- 25:41show people that Bitcoin is here in a positive way to deal with
- 25:45these negative things, I guess, now bars.
- 25:49I mean, I said it before and I kind of, I kind of got on this
- 25:54this wave like the last couple of days where it's like it's not
- 25:57enough to just point out the problems anymore.
- 25:58It's like let's let's talk about solution to a lot more than just
- 26:01the problems. And I think this is part of this
- 26:04whole idea of like like I think it's very it's very normal and
- 26:08healthy to acknowledge the problems.
- 26:10But also, it's like, man, if all you're talking about About is
- 26:13like, oh this is wrong, that is wrong.
- 26:16It's like yell. Let's just get to the solutions
- 26:18like people don't give a fuck about the problems after a
- 26:20certain point nearly, let's just little better.
- 26:23Yeah, and that's like that's the thing.
- 26:25You can see it's like people are searching for blame almost and
- 26:31the thing about that is it got another stoic a meditation and
- 26:36philosophy here. Is that smart man, you know,
- 26:41doesn't look at the blame For others, the wise man doesn't
- 26:49want. Look at the blame for himself
- 26:51and like the superior man won't look at blaming at all.
- 26:54He will only look for the solution knowing that everything
- 26:58else is is moot point at this. Because we're at a stalemate, we
- 27:03have a problem things have stopped.
- 27:05What the blame is is irrelevant at this point now, it's about
- 27:09moving forward and that in itself is another, I think that
- 27:14was the Marcus Aurelius um quote that that II pull that.
- 27:19So Did absolutely love it and kind of its kind of this might
- 27:25be a little esoteric this question but I'm going to bring
- 27:28it back into Bitcoin for a second.
- 27:30Do you think Bitcoin is actually healing the world or are humans
- 27:34using Bitcoin as a tool to heal themselves?
- 27:38It's like a close Heller. Oh, because it is the thing, it
- 27:44is the pillar, but it all in like a pillar is a tool.
- 27:50And so like people are using it to a pillar as a tool that can
- 27:55be implemented in architecture for building and they're using
- 27:58this to build their lives, you know?
- 27:59I mean there's how many people around the world are unbanked
- 28:02and now they have Bitcoin. And they're using it to make
- 28:06their lives better. And at the same time, it was
- 28:10there to make their lives better before they knew about it.
- 28:12I say both. No, I love it.
- 28:16You kind of just sparked the idea of like the Fiat world, you
- 28:20know, paper money has just caused so much Distortion in the
- 28:23world and and having that tool of Bitcoin just like is able to
- 28:28bring Clarity to everything. And so, like I'm reminded of
- 28:32like, if you have like, a dirty dirty pool and then you're kind
- 28:35of able to like filter out the flow, so that the water can
- 28:38flow, it starts to clean itself up.
- 28:40And like, I don't know. For some reason, that's the idea
- 28:42that I just got in my head about about Bitcoin.
- 28:44It's like, it's Eliminating the distortions in the world and
- 28:47this is why it is healing the world, but also it's just like a
- 28:50tool to, you know, facilitate trade better.
- 28:54Oh yeah, everything placed in Bitcoin, makes it a lot easier
- 28:58to project marked. Well, once we get out of price,
- 29:03discovery mode, I should say because it's recently gotten to
- 29:08the point where businesses are having issues quoting products
- 29:13and materials long-term because they don't, they don't expect
- 29:16the value of the currency to maintain itself.
- 29:19And so they're, they're fearful to even give a quotes and
- 29:22estimates on labor materials for For like long-term projects and
- 29:26stuff. And that's a direct result of
- 29:28Fiat manipulation where now you can't price laborers and
- 29:32materials anymore. And it that literally is the
- 29:35beginning of the destruction of the ability for society to
- 29:41construct itself. And so like, where can you go
- 29:44from there? It's if you find something and
- 29:47you're fortunate enough to find something like Bitcoin, and then
- 29:49you're able to long-term through price discovery mode.
- 29:53Hold on to it. And Find a level a little lean
- 29:57out of somewhere along the way. You gonna end up with a much
- 30:01better currency to pressure goods and ever and because it's
- 30:05not gonna have a manipulated inflation point.
- 30:08So yeah it's the Tool Man that is there for the world to use to
- 30:15heal itself with whereas the Fiat.
- 30:18Ah Korean system has literally dictated Coos worthy and who is
- 30:22not worthy of being able to participate.
- 30:24Commerce and in my opinion, all humans are equal and to put that
- 30:29out there as is absolutely disgusting for them to be,
- 30:32considering that who's worthy? Because, not worthy.
- 30:35It's ridiculous. Couldn't agree more.
- 30:37I couldn't agree more. It's a, it's almost like Fiat is
- 30:39breaking in real time and we have this semester and it's
- 30:45called Bakelite like, man, it really blows on that also.
- 30:51Dude, do you think we're just so far down the rabbit hole where
- 30:53this is just so So obvious to us like to me, like we said it
- 30:57earlier, there's no going back, but like, is this just so
- 31:00obvious to us that? Like, we can't.
- 31:03It's like, it's like, you know, what's up?
- 31:05What's the meme? Like a fish?
- 31:06Doesn't know he's swimming in water.
- 31:08Like, is that is that we're like the Normie is right now.
- 31:11Like I can't even talk to him. I literally have to like whoa
- 31:20myself in a conversation with people in the Fiat world.
- 31:24Like I've been going back to doing some contract automation
- 31:28work to get some OSHA certifications.
- 31:30For that way, I don't have to pay for them out of my pocket.
- 31:33I used there. Yeah.
- 31:34So some to like get that taken care of and man some of the
- 31:40conversations are just I'm literally like if I tell this
- 31:45guy that his 401K, even with his corporate contribution doesn't
- 31:50keep up with the CPI index. And that like, they've removed
- 31:54housing from that rate as well like his head's, probably gonna
- 31:57explode, because he's trying to think about budgeting his kids
- 32:00school and his other stuff, like that's plenty even a thing
- 32:04anymore. Like you cannot do that like it.
- 32:07The fact is your job is not paying you this percentage much
- 32:13in a raise every year. And but the cost of living is
- 32:16going up by that much. Every year.
- 32:17And so do you think that in 34 years from now they're going to
- 32:23give you a 50% or 60% raised because compounded inflation,
- 32:28interest means that that five to eight percent in four years.
- 32:34You know, it's really late eighteen.
- 32:35Twenty three percent is gonna be 50 to 60 percent in your
- 32:40equipment wages and spending capacity in like, how are you
- 32:44gonna do? How are you going to compete
- 32:45with a, how are you going to keep up?
- 32:47With that when I go to these facilities and I see these
- 32:52people and I have these conversations I have to stop
- 32:54myself because I know that it's gonna go south quick, it's going
- 32:58to get bad. It's going to get ugly because
- 33:01literally you're telling them that what they're doing is
- 33:03they're standing on a hamster wheel and they're not even
- 33:05running it, they're not even running the wheel there in the
- 33:08wheel, in the wheel spinning around, and they're flying
- 33:10around in the fucking wheel with it, because they can't even keep
- 33:14up with the wheel. It's Reckless man.
- 33:18And so when it comes to the normies broke, you gotta have
- 33:21patience. You gotta be like, Marcus
- 33:24Aurelius said, strict with yourself tolerant with others
- 33:28because it can't handle it, man. You got tell them everything
- 33:32they know is a lie. And then what they're trying to
- 33:35keep up with is centrally impossible to keep up with and
- 33:39that that breeds a lot of resentment right out the gate.
- 33:43Because everybody thinks they got it figured out, everybody
- 33:45thinks they got a plan, Least most people do and the ones that
- 33:48don't they're already anxious as hell.
- 33:51So you start adding these things in man you gonna you got a
- 33:56recipe for an interesting conversations the toeic and I
- 34:01yeah, I kind of I kind of I got like super triggered today with
- 34:05with Nico on the show and we like I leaned into the idea of
- 34:09all of us being propagandist and I topic II went down this path
- 34:14was like, man, I thought I'd mature Gerd in my Bitcoin
- 34:18message where I like I can be compassionate with people.
- 34:21Like today I had that like full realization of like, wow, am I
- 34:24going full Bitcoin? Our own people now?
- 34:26Or I'm just going to just, like, hit them completely with the
- 34:29Bitcoin message because it's like, it is what it is.
- 34:32Like, here's a solution dude. Like please please.
- 34:36Please catch up but then Mike Hobart one of our friends, I
- 34:41think, you know, my wife. Yeah, yeah, he was in the space
- 34:45and he's like, you know what? Here's a Say that I really want
- 34:47people to know. It's like when you're having
- 34:50conversations with people as bitcoiners try to not think of
- 34:54it as like you're playing 5D chess with people like think of
- 34:56it more like you're in a dance with people because yeah it's
- 35:00check is now but I really like how you said it's like where
- 35:03you're in a conversation is a dance it's not like something to
- 35:07win it is like okay can you? And I both grow and learn
- 35:13something from this because like whether you You learn the
- 35:17Bitcoin Meister? Do not like I'm learning
- 35:19something about myself and how to better iterate this message.
- 35:23It's like you said, you know what, what was the earliest?
- 35:25What you just said Be patient with people but like strict with
- 35:30myself or whatever Spirits with yourself but tolerant with
- 35:33others. Yeah.
- 35:34And I think this is like this is the dance as a big corner.
- 35:37It's like I said it today and I said it earlier on the show is
- 35:41like I really do think that I maybe I'm projecting and talking
- 35:44about myself. I really and I will put it on
- 35:47myself as a as a personal message here.
- 35:49It's like I've been thinking lately.
- 35:52Yeah. Yeah exactly.
- 35:53I've been thinking of myself of like yell like I need to act
- 35:55like I have the answers because I think as a big Corner, we do
- 35:59have the answers and I still, I still see a lot of Bitcoin or
- 36:02Jack like wait like our, do we really have the answer?
- 36:05I gotta say something bad though just because we're in the know
- 36:10about what's going on with the financial portion of the world
- 36:12right now. Doesn't mean that we are in the
- 36:14know about all kind of other shit out there.
- 36:17It's not there but there's a lot I've seen a lot of bitcoiners go
- 36:21in on people and threads about stuff that they got no freaking
- 36:24idea about what the hell they're talking about and like We know
- 36:28about Bitcoin was think we're like self-proclaimed freakin
- 36:31Geniuses on every other book and Topic in the book and world.
- 36:34And that is not the case by any means.
- 36:37Thank God, there are Bitcoin by Professionals in their own
- 36:41Industries out there who are bitcoiners who are willing to
- 36:43step into somebody's threads and be like.
- 36:46Yeah, that's dad a legit. I'm actual professional.
- 36:51And this and I have licenses and that I've done this 30 years and
- 36:54that's not. That is works like my God.
- 36:58Is a couple attorneys out there who I get my DM sometimes and
- 37:01they are like yeah man this is this is the journal like I'm
- 37:04thank God for you because I would have went out there
- 37:06wrecked myself, you know, it's like no, that's the thing though
- 37:10about Bitcoin. Is it like Remember I said it's
- 37:15a powerful teacher like and in like they're in the company of
- 37:18others and realize when you're the smartest person in the room
- 37:21it's time to extricate yourself from that room again to another
- 37:23room with more advanced individuals because you should
- 37:26only be separating yourself with people that will better you and
- 37:29and not stalemate you or stay alert you and your life and your
- 37:32Pursuits. And so like, you gotta just
- 37:34remember the man who has all the answers has not been asked all
- 37:39the questions. Hit him with it.
- 37:43Yeah man. I had this there was a point in
- 37:45like my Bitcoin Journey where like I Oh I thought it was like
- 37:48the dumbest person ever and then I realized I know exactly where
- 37:57it's like, man, like I really don't know.
- 37:59Anything is as we should say like highly regarded and then
- 38:03and then you go to this point and then you go to this point
- 38:06where you're like oh I have all the answers and then you get in
- 38:10rooms and you're Like like, wow, I really am the Dead Explorer.
- 38:14Yeah, you're like, I'm in this room.
- 38:16Like this is, this is what I'm supposed to be.
- 38:17What's that mean? My of like, if you're the
- 38:20smartest person in the room, then you should find another
- 38:22room and it's like, did it back to this whole idea of like being
- 38:27uncomfortable in or being comfortable in the
- 38:29uncomfortable. And it's like, I don't think you
- 38:32should want to be the smartest person in any room.
- 38:34And this is kind of how I feel with a lot of big Winners as my
- 38:37friend. It's like I learn something from
- 38:39all my Bitcoin friends. Don't lie, like, not all
- 38:42bitcoiners, but like the people that I consider to be friends,
- 38:46like continuously, teach me about myself and about life and
- 38:49about new skills and things that, you know, like new value.
- 38:54It's just like, man, they're really is so many smart people
- 38:57out in the world and crazy that Bitcoin has brought us all into
- 39:00this, this little room on Twitter for lack of better
- 39:04terms. It's just like it's mine.
- 39:07The relays I know store will get better because Twitter's bunkers
- 39:10all hair Right now. Yeah it's literally down right
- 39:14now GM's I can't man my DM's usually like on fire and they're
- 39:20blowing up but right now they're just Fubar.
- 39:22It's literally on fire it's all right and nothing holds like a
- 39:26dumpster fire out there right now.
- 39:28Like I went I upgraded my amethyst step and I'm like oh I
- 39:31still can't like none of these knows, their poster.
- 39:34Nothing like amethyst is still clunky and and I'm running Nick.
- 39:39I'll be clients on my laptop but The laptop I had somebody stole.
- 39:44Thank God, I back that thing up and I had I had it in Cryptid
- 39:48like the whole entire hard drive was encrypted like I run Linux
- 39:51almost of. So I wasn't really worried that
- 39:53they stole my laptop but I'm like man, I gotta go rebuild
- 39:56this thing over here written and I gotta go.
- 39:59We do my albeit everything. Damn, I need no started as be
- 40:03better on my mobile device right now.
- 40:06Yeah. I mean, I'm still.
- 40:08Hey, like, I've gotten Tomatoes done at me.
- 40:11About this in the past, but I'm an Apple user.
- 40:13And I just downloaded Amish app and I'm learning.
- 40:16I know, I know, I know, I know you're so frustrated with Apple
- 40:20products. It's so simple, dude.
- 40:22It's like I'm a five-year-old with technology.
- 40:27I like make it simple for me guys.
- 40:30I think. Yeah bro I really do believe
- 40:34like this is where we're going with Bitcoin products and I like
- 40:37I've said in the past and look you're gonna you're gonna you're
- 40:40gonna throw it to me. But I said in the past the same
- 40:42ideas, like we got an apple pie these Bitcoin products because
- 40:45like say what you want, it's not right?
- 40:56She's like helping the beef initiative and she does it, make
- 41:00coordination and meetups in stuff, right?
- 41:03And like when I was talking to her, she said, literally she's
- 41:07like, People don't care about the nuts and bolts, a Bitcoin or
- 41:12what's going on behind it. They just want to know that it
- 41:15works. Like can I use this?
- 41:16Like I use my dollar and and that's all that matters.
- 41:19Like it needs to be simplified and just provided
- 41:22straightforward like that, that way.
- 41:25Because she does onboarding like, and, and helping other
- 41:28people to get involved and she's like an ambassador for Ibex and
- 41:31stuffing, and I was a thing as she mentioned that there were
- 41:34really stuck out to me and was profound to me was her
- 41:37recognition that That people really don't give a rat's ass
- 41:41about any of the back end. They ask yourself to people
- 41:46today understand how the US dollar Works.
- 41:48No and most majority of them never will care to understand
- 41:52nor do they want to. And so with that, just like you
- 41:55said, if we, unless she also said this, which was like, shout
- 42:00out to her because it takes us more person to recognize, what's
- 42:04needed, some make advancements and move forward.
- 42:07And you see it too. It's like we It kind of apple fi
- 42:11some of the aspects of Bitcoins so that it makes it more user
- 42:15friendly for people that are intimidated by it.
- 42:17But are fearful of dealing in the Fiat system continuously
- 42:21because like right now they're like, oh well, I want to get it,
- 42:24but do I need a hardware wallet? Do I need like, I don't know how
- 42:28to do all this other stuff and it's like to them and maybe a
- 42:30little daunting and overwhelming.
- 42:32Whereas if it was something as simple as their I phoned and
- 42:36potentially maybe it wouldn't be Yeah, man, 100%.
- 42:40And I'm glad I'm not the only one that's thinking this, it
- 42:43make it get me back to the point, like, wow, okay, maybe I
- 42:46am not your it is. I am.
- 42:48It's just I just think of it. Like, like I love, I love B
- 42:51corners and I understand how incredibly smart, a lot of big
- 42:53Corners are. But it's also like, I realize, I
- 42:56say all the time I'm left side of the right side of the bell
- 42:58curve. So I'm like, I'm smart enough to
- 43:00get into the intellectual conversation, but I'm like
- 43:03normal enough to understand like yo, there is a, there's a solid
- 43:06product need here. Here.
- 43:08And it's exactly what you said. Most people don't care about how
- 43:12the email works. Like most people don't care how
- 43:14their iPhone works. Most people don't care how their
- 43:16laptop works. All they care about is that it
- 43:19work and I think this is like I think this is part and we've
- 43:23been having this conversation on Twitter.
- 43:25The last week, the same conversation of like how do we
- 43:28get more? Merchants on board it's like you
- 43:30don't talk about all the problems with the monetary
- 43:32system. You just show them like hey look
- 43:34here you go, here's the point of sale.
- 43:38This works and there's a whole new market for you right here,
- 43:41they're called bitcoiners. And I really do think that like
- 43:44the fact that we are all kind of saying the same thing, I think
- 43:47more people are going to kind of you know for lack of better
- 43:50terms like wake up to the same idea of like look oh yeah.
- 43:53How do we do make this as simple as possible so that the normal
- 43:55person gets Bitcoin. So the normal person starts
- 43:58using Bitcoin, the normal person puts Bitcoin into self custody
- 44:01like I think this is where we're going to start leading to yes,
- 44:05smile. When you do it to you.
- 44:09You have all the time like, well, I discovered the cheat
- 44:20code to life, like know that I only control this know that.
- 44:24I, if I control my own private keys.
- 44:26I also control my money. Am I Wells?
- 44:28And that I can preserve it through space and time.
- 44:31And now I'm protected against the evil Fiat forces that are
- 44:35out there and I found that, you know, Also another tribe of
- 44:41people in life, pretty much that are on my same wavelength and
- 44:45level. I like me and my guy slim like
- 44:47to stay like it's that mycelium, you know, we're all connected.
- 44:50And like we all really are trying to move forward and live
- 44:53this certain way, but it seems like there's these dark Forces
- 44:56out there, which in my opinion, is Fiat based trying to push us
- 45:01away from each other and create agitation amongst us to where
- 45:05we're not able to communicate on this.
- 45:08Wavelength and b, as in touch with each other, as some
- 45:11bitcoiners are with each other, like we communicate.
- 45:14And the way that like the weight of big Winners communicate with
- 45:17each other, is a level above how normal people communicate with
- 45:22each other. They mean, literally, if we see
- 45:25it seems, if we see something, we ain't afraid to call it as
- 45:30like this. A yo, you screwing up.
- 45:32This is what you're doing. And come on back this way, man,
- 45:35this is how it has to be and but like other Parts of the world
- 45:39outside like Bitcoins. Like they don't seem to
- 45:41communicate the same way. They if they do, it's like they
- 45:45dance around a lot of bushes and they like it's very inefficient
- 45:50whereas we could be doing things.
- 45:53Separately from each other and trying to build something
- 45:56without talking to each other. And we will still come to the
- 46:00same end point and the project and and and the puzzle pieces
- 46:03will all still fit together somehow.
- 46:06And yet we maybe not have communicated on how we're going
- 46:09to build this like some parts of it but yet once we all get
- 46:12together it is just all comes together.
- 46:15It's wild. It's we see what is required of
- 46:20us in order to succeed. Lead in the most efficient and
- 46:24way possible to the most benefit of ourselves and those who are
- 46:28around us working towards the same goals and somehow were able
- 46:31to procure and create these synergies, that everything lines
- 46:35up even in a decentralized way that meets a consensus and it's
- 46:38just, it's miraculous, it's beautiful.
- 46:40You is hard to find that in a Fiat world and other companies
- 46:45and in like a groups and stuff like that because it seems like
- 46:48there's a lot of Focus on like personal benefit but not
- 46:55necessarily with the benefit of the group as a whole in mind, at
- 46:59the same time. And I think that's basically
- 47:02built out of the, you know, the Cutthroat miss that, fear
- 47:06creates. Yeah.
- 47:08No, you know, I had this conversation this morning that
- 47:11it's very interesting how the the Fiat world, the Legacy
- 47:15world, the status code that we're in right now, basically
- 47:19like Sizes you to lie, steal and cheat.
- 47:22Whereas like Bitcoin incentivizes you to, you know,
- 47:27really valuing service and like help your fellow man.
- 47:31Exactly. Like provide value saving
- 47:33Bitcoin and be as honorable as possible and it just it's it's
- 47:39really crazy how you just have like to you know, parallel
- 47:42systems running in tandem right now and and it's very telling
- 47:46like who fights Bitcoin and who's kind of like oh this makes
- 47:50Perfect sense to me. Like, this is this is what I've
- 47:52always searched for. It's like, instead of, you know,
- 47:55the pillar of truth. It's like there is the there is
- 47:58the lightness, which is Bitcoin in.
- 47:59And there's the darkness, which is the field where all didn't,
- 48:01like, has a Darkness, put you push you to such a level where
- 48:04you, where you're seeking the light and you're seeking.
- 48:06Yep, a better way to interact with humans and other like
- 48:10that's another stoic. I think it's Marcus Aurelius
- 48:14comes with that says that there's good and evil.
- 48:19Evil is akin to ignorance and good as it can to knowledge and
- 48:24knowledge brings you to bitcoin. Whereas ignorance keeps you in
- 48:29in the Fiat. Fuckery man, could agree more.
- 48:35I got I usually try to keep these around an hour so I got
- 48:38two more questions. The first one you kind of set it
- 48:41already and I asked Nick Camp mind this in the past and he
- 48:46kind of took the other out. You you mentioned.
- 48:49Having known on Bitcoin in friends and one of our friends,
- 48:53mutual friend, you know Alex from Kabul racks Tucson.
- 48:57Oh yeah, that's my boo. Yeah, I love him.
- 48:59He kind of hit me with this idea and I really like stuck with me
- 49:04where he's like, look, if you are only interacting with
- 49:06bitcoiners, if you're using Bitcoin for purchasing the
- 49:10things that you want to today, like you are already living that
- 49:12hyper Bitcoin as world today. Like there's no, there's no need
- 49:15to. Wait.
- 49:17Do you view this the same way? Are you living in the Bitcoin
- 49:19eyes World. Well yeah, I mean the only time
- 49:22I come outside of it is if I have to deal with a contractor
- 49:29or I got have to pay a bill and Fiat like for my cause of
- 49:33operations for mining. But like everything I try to
- 49:37like I get paid in Bitcoin, you know, and like and so it's, it's
- 49:41like that every purchase I make. I have to look at SATs first.
- 49:47And and think about that. So yeah.
- 49:50Technically if you live like that, I think that yeah.
- 49:53You are living in a hyper big, quantization type style already
- 49:57because everything that you're spending is coming from a
- 50:02conversion of Bitcoin already sats are bi-stable coin time.
- 50:07I like about me. Alright, the last question that
- 50:14I've been trying to remember to ask everyone that I These TTL
- 50:17with as big as Bitcoin, the most important invention that humans
- 50:21have ever created. I'd say that.
- 50:27Next to the wheel. Yeah Empire I say the same
- 50:31thing, the will fire and Bitcoin.
- 50:33Yo. We gotta Firewheel electricity.
- 50:36Like yeah, I mean literally the ability to preserve your wealth
- 50:40through space and time at the behest of these Fiat bastards
- 50:44out there who think they know what's best for you is like
- 50:48there's that's unparalleled in regards to inventions throughout
- 50:52history. I feel like I mean, I couldn't
- 50:56agree more. Yeah, I mean the ability to
- 50:59preserve your wealth through space and time at the hand of
- 51:03this be up, buggery is unparalleled in history right
- 51:07now because for thousands of years, even back to the days of
- 51:11what we're talking about. Now the Caesars they were
- 51:14clipping coins and so We are standing on the precipice of,
- 51:22you know, the inability for that to ever happen again and so yeah
- 51:27I believe it's unparalleled in its respect to that.
- 51:31Yeah I shot the re-evaluated and the chat he goes up plumbing was
- 51:34pretty important to Rome. So maybe we're dogs baby.
- 51:39Maybe we put Plumbing in there as well.
- 51:41But now I mean I when I first asked this question, when I
- 51:44first asked this question honestly, it seemed Like a very
- 51:47ridiculous question. It's like oh this is how I'm
- 51:49going to end all of them. Like it's like ridiculous enough
- 51:51but also like thought-provoking enough but what I really I kind
- 51:57of I legitimately think of it like this way like I think
- 52:00Bitcoin is like you said I think Bitcoin is one of the most
- 52:02important if not the most important invention that humans
- 52:06have ever made is because you said it's like being able to
- 52:08preserve your wealth. Your value through space and
- 52:11time without the the possibility of getting it getting to base.
- 52:15Like I really don't think I think that the majority of
- 52:18people even bitcoiners understand like how important
- 52:20that is and how big of a problem that solved, like, Satoshi,
- 52:24really solid, probably one of the biggest problems ever.
- 52:29Verified verified facts. All right.
- 52:34Well man, actually, one more thing.
- 52:36You kind of sparked this idea since we are both in the hybrid
- 52:40Bitcoin has world we basic both basically say you know we always
- 52:44start our thinking in sat and it's just idea of back to what
- 52:50Tucson said of you know living in a hyper Bitcoin has World a
- 52:54hanging out with bitcoiners spending your Bitcoin or using
- 52:57your Bitcoin on Products that you want.
- 53:00It's back to this idea of like, valuing your time, more by
- 53:05Saving and using Bitcoin and, and trying to get Bitcoin for
- 53:08your services. It's like it's a, not just a
- 53:12value of your time, but Like a of your humanness of your
- 53:19Humanity of like, what kind of self-respecting we're going to
- 53:22get pet? Yeah, exactly.
- 53:23So we're kind of a human would want to get paid in dollars.
- 53:28I literally tweeted out the other day.
- 53:30Do not sell yourself. Do not allow others to sell
- 53:34yourself short and do not even allow that to do not even sell
- 53:40yourself short, when it comes to your friends, even like the
- 53:44people that you're going to strong yourself with me.
- 53:46Sure that they're valuable is valuable as Bitcoin the the
- 53:50month, the way that you store your value.
- 53:52Make sure that it can't be debased, use Bitcoin, you know,
- 53:55like when it comes down to your time and what you're willing to
- 53:58accept for it, most people are selling themselves short
- 54:03massively. I mean most people out there
- 54:08they're getting I'd say 80% less than what they're truly.
- 54:12Their true value is in regards to what they're doing.
- 54:16Damn, bro. I mean when I go and I do
- 54:20Consulting for somebody and I'm bringing, I'm bringing them fax,
- 54:24I'm showing them the way and I know that I'm trading my time,
- 54:28and if they value my time is equally, they won't have a
- 54:31problem. Paying the rate that I'm asking
- 54:33for, especially, they see value in that and most people, they
- 54:38have what I've noticed. And I think it's kind of also,
- 54:42because of this Fiat world that we live in people, create these
- 54:45standards around Themselves that are almost impossible to reach
- 54:48when it comes to like materialistic things.
- 54:50And what they think, that they should have versus what they
- 54:54actually have, and it creates like this empty shell of
- 54:58depression and want to that that they're never ever gonna be able
- 55:02to, like fully fill in and satiate.
- 55:05And it it's because that they don't have anything that that
- 55:10actually preserves their value in and gives their own worth and
- 55:15value to themselves. As for what their time is, you
- 55:18know, like for example if you ask me what I'm valued for an
- 55:23hour $150 is enough but the thing is is like I won't charge
- 55:28them. I charge a little less but the
- 55:30thing is is like what you're gonna get and what you're doing
- 55:32and everything else. Like it's there the values
- 55:35there, there's education is not just just not like empty time.
- 55:39But the thing is is like somebody else might think that
- 55:42like well what if nobody, what if nobody wants to pay me that
- 55:46Much for my time. Well then nobody will because
- 55:51you personally yourself, don't believe that.
- 55:53It's worth that much. Bra wisdom, so tarantula with
- 56:00the wisdom, you're gonna create your own value in life in the
- 56:05the market is going to decide whether or not it's it's
- 56:08legitimate and so believe in yourself and the confidence will
- 56:13follow that. That what's required to get the
- 56:15rates that you feel your worth is Get the horns, bro.
- 56:23You get the horns. I absolutely loved me.
- 56:25My quit selling yourself short, request and say, Vince at and
- 56:33absolute bars. Oh yeah.
- 56:36Listen requested from the back end from the producer himself.
- 56:42Well tarantula. Honestly, this was a wide wide
- 56:46ranging Cosmic Bitcoin. Ation.
- 56:49I think we did a as I started the show.
- 56:51We did our best to not talk about Bitcoin but we talked
- 56:54about it going throughout the whole time.
- 56:57There's this is the theme of the show I had.
- 57:01Yeah, me neither I we're trying to drop the keys in the wisdom
- 57:04so that more people can understand why we do what we do
- 57:08and realize that this is a lot more than just, you know,
- 57:14holding Bitcoin like this is gonna change everything about
- 57:17you. Well, I've spent all the time As
- 57:19a way of life like there's no going back.
- 57:21Bitcoin changes. You you don't change Bitcoin.
- 57:23Do you want to live a better life?
- 57:24Are you, are you tired of the mundane life?
- 57:28You are living right now. Well we have the solution for
- 57:31you is called Bitcoin and we will see you on the Bitcoin

- 57:55another one in North Dakota. And then, what do I want people
- 57:58to do? Want people to take a good damn,
- 58:01long hard? Look at themselves and ask why
- 58:04they are waiting to start using logic to dictate what the best
- 58:09decisions for them are. And why are they moving forward
- 58:12on it? And the other thing is, is like,
- 58:14if me got your own set of keys, yet?

- 58:25custody in your Bitcoin it other not I got nothing else like just

- 58:34do that you can't love others as well.

- 58:39Deserves respect and love. Even you know, like no matter
- 58:43what you're doing, just treat other people the way you want to
