- 0:37operation. Choke point for anyone who's not
- 0:39in the know. This is the B Administrations.
- 0:41Kind of backdoor effort into. And the way that I see it trying
- 0:48to slow down the adoption of Bitcoin.
- 0:51They're basically trying to choke out the industry and try
- 0:56to keep it separated from the financial industry.
- 0:59The US financial industry. Now, it looks like in Europe,
- 1:02the same thing is happening, but the European Central Bank kind
- 1:05of released a, not kind of they released like a meme or
- 1:09something on Valentine's Day. And they're like, it's so crazy.
- 1:14Like basically we gotta get inflation back to 2 percent.
- 1:16So like this magical 2%, 2% inflation 2% theft is somehow.
- 1:21Okay? Right.
- 1:22And of course, and we also have we're going to cover all the
- 1:25inflation numbers that came out Bloomberg tweeted.

- 1:42Imagine living that living in that environment, mind you
- 1:45Argentina, which recently got a bailout from the IMF for a loan
- 1:49from the IMF and that loan the IMF specifically said that that

- 4:55It's your show. My friend.
- 4:57Let's go. All right.
- 4:58Well, thank you Nico. We appreciate you holding it
- 5:01down for us, but we'll take it from here.
- 5:04Anyways, guys, as we've been covering on the shelf for I
- 5:09don't know, obviously, We forever but definitely the last
- 5:12couple of days we are definitely seeing not only central banks
- 5:18but the IMF start to freak out and it's very much in line with
- 5:23the idea of we are in the then they fight you stage and I think
- 5:27there is a very very telling theme running through this.
- 5:31So before I get into this article about the EU telling us
- 5:35about you know Bitcoin or we can't hold so much Bitcoin in
- 5:40the I want to relay the article that we showed yesterday.
- 5:44So remember this from yesterday. IMF says, El Salvador's Bitcoin
- 5:49risks have not materialized but should be addressed and the
- 5:52reason I want to bring this up because we're going to link this
- 5:55to what the EU said today. But it's just one telling
- 6:00sentence here that the IMF says and the lender the IMF noted
- 6:04that risk have not materialized due to the limited Bitcoin use
- 6:09so far. So Remember this little tidbit
- 6:12of information that we were talking about yesterday because
- 6:15we are hearing the same grumblings coming out of the EU
- 6:19from the ECB the European Central Bank and it's almost
- 6:23like they are getting the same, you know, same orders from the
- 6:27top to continuously push the same narrative.
- 6:30Hey, I don't have my tinfoil hat on here guys, but I will have to
- 6:34bring one up soon. Anyways, let's get into this
- 6:37article. So Eubanks told by regulator to
- 6:40a A bit coin cap, even before they become law.
- 6:43So the European Central Bank, which supervises big euro-area
- 6:47lenders said, crypto should be treated as a risky asset.
- 6:51And remember what we tell you guys, consistently Bitcoin is
- 6:55the stable coin, you know, sacher my stable coin in my
- 6:58opinion as a Bitcoin and Bitcoin is the least risky asset to hold
- 7:02in the world. But yes, there is a lot of
- 7:05volatility in the Bitcoin price because it is becoming monetized
- 7:09in real time. And we are seeing the s-curve
- 7:12adoption happen in real time, which means there will be a lot
- 7:15of volatility in the price but to the upside, which is
- 7:18something that they never tell you.
- 7:20Anyways, let's jump into this article and see exactly what the
- 7:23framing is. So banks in the EU, should start
- 7:26applying caps on bitcoin Holdings ahead of global Norms
- 7:29set by the Basel committee on banking supervision taking
- 7:32effect, supervisors at the ECB said Wednesday, while Bitcoin
- 7:36and shit. Coin has not yet made
- 7:38significant inroads into the blocks Banks.
- 7:40The ECB said they should treat the assets that the risky and
- 7:43limit Holdings right away. So the Basel committee on
- 7:47banking supervision standard is, not yet legally, blind binding,
- 7:51pending its trans position in the European Union said a news
- 7:55later which is responsible for directly supervising.
- 7:58The largest banks in the currency Bloc however should
- 8:01Banks wish to engage. In this market, they are
- 8:03expected to comply with the standards and take it into
- 8:06account in their business and capital planning, so the BCBS.
- 8:10Currently proposed to assign the highest possible risks weight of
- 8:13one thousand two hundred and fifty percent to, on back
- 8:16digital assets. Such as Bitcoin meaning banks
- 8:19have to issue Capital equal-to their crypto Holdings there,
- 8:22Bitcoin and chick on holding and they would also be limited to
- 8:24holding Bitcoin and shit coin in the mounts.
- 8:26Not exceeding. One percent of the core Capital
- 8:29known as Tier 1. And so this is where I bring in
- 8:33the IMF article so a survey published by the ECB on
- 8:36Wednesday. Also said that distributed
- 8:39Ledger technology which is What, you know the powers that be are
- 8:43trying to name a Bitcoin or my blockchain is Barely Used across
- 8:48banks with fewer than one in five seeking to apply the
- 8:51solutions and that Bitcoin and shit Cohen activities and
- 8:54exposures are insignificant. So, let's just recap some of the
- 8:59stuff that the ECB said, and then kind of connect it with the
- 9:03end of this article. And we had this conversation in
- 9:06spaces yesterday. That on the one hand, the powers
- 9:10that be whether it is central banks, whether it is the IMF or
- 9:14World Bank organizations or politicians, they are all
- 9:18saying, one thing on one hand which is, you know, Bitcoin is
- 9:21insignificant, it is, it hasn't been adopted yet, no one's using
- 9:25it. And then, on the other hand,
- 9:26it's a completed risk and it's about to blow up the whole
- 9:31financial system. So let's get back to this.
- 9:34What was some of this? The first thing that they say,
- 9:37is that it is having made in Inroads into the blocks bank.
- 9:43So again, they acknowledge the fact that Bitcoin still has a
- 9:46large, a large Room to Grow that it hasn't been fully adopted and
- 9:50yet they are trying to claim that Bitcoin is a risk asset on
- 9:56the verge of blowing up the financial system, which in my
- 9:59opinion, my opinion is back to this whole idea that we
- 10:02continuously talk about about them.
- 10:04Projecting what it is. They are doing on to bitcoin and
- 10:09it's very interesting. Resting that we are seeing this
- 10:12not only from the ECB but from basically, every unproductive
- 10:16class member out there saying the same thing, they are
- 10:19absolutely terrified of Bitcoin because they know what Bitcoin
- 10:22does. And I think this back to this
- 10:24idea that Nico and I have been mulling over.
- 10:27It's like do these people not understand Bitcoin or are they
- 10:30incentivised to Gaslight you so that you continuously not
- 10:33understand Bitcoin? This is a question.
- 10:36I will leave up to you guys but obviously at simply Bitcoin we
- 10:40Stand what the angle is. And then also, the next portion
- 10:44of this is the fact that the BCBS proposed the highest
- 10:50possible risk weight right way of 1250 percent to unbag digital
- 10:55assets such as Bitcoin. So there's two points here.
- 10:58As you guys know, as you guys are listeners to Simply Bitcoin.
- 11:02We continuously noticed a theme that anytime they want to
- 11:07denigrate Bitcoin, they will a Actively named Bitcoin but when
- 11:12they want to you know use a distributed Ledger technology or
- 11:16my block chain or crypto in general, they will lump it all
- 11:19together. So it's very interesting that we
- 11:21see this theme happening right now by the ECB is when they're
- 11:25trying to talk down on what we're doing over here in the
- 11:27Bitcoin space, they will actively name Bitcoin.
- 11:30But second is to the idea that Nico brings up all the time.
- 11:34That in Bitcoin, we are being held to an absurd standard that.
- 11:39Not even the Normal Banks would be held to.
- 11:41And this is because they understand that Bitcoin is the
- 11:45Escape Route, and if they just let Bitcoin work on the free
- 11:49market, then I think people will understand the very clear
- 11:53advantage of holding Bitcoin. And then again, guys as I said,
- 11:58you know, they tried to frame this into distributed Ledger
- 12:00Technologies. Barely Used across Banks where
- 12:03only one in five are seeking to apply the solutions and that
- 12:07crypto or Bitcoin in shit connectivity, exposure to are
- 12:09insignificant. Nificant.
- 12:11So we said this again, it's very interesting.
- 12:13How on the one hand Bitcoin is going to blow up all of the
- 12:17financial world and on the other hand it's an insignificant, you
- 12:20know, small portion small Market.
- 12:22That no one is using and it's very interesting because we here
- 12:27at simply Bitcoin lean into the idea that it is our me, moron
- 12:31and everyone else is just living in it.
- 12:32And bitcoiners have the best meme and this is why we're
- 12:35continuously able to destroy their narratives because when
- 12:39they try to play on, Our playground, which is the memes,
- 12:43they absolutely wrecked themselves, like look at the ECB
- 12:46here and this is back to what Nica started.
- 12:48The show with is the fact that the powers that be are trying to
- 12:54get back to 2 percent inflation and what do we tell you guys?
- 12:57Inflation is theft, you know say what you want.
- 12:59Say what side of the aisle you are on but it's very interesting
- 13:03that the status quo is that the powers that be can still 2% of
- 13:06your purchasing power every year.
- 13:08And this is this, the norm that they want to it back to where as
- 13:11we as bitcoiners are like, hey guys, you know, we have this
- 13:14asset here known as Bitcoin to 21 million hard cab.
- 13:17And this is a feature, not a bug.
- 13:19But how is this little Haiku or poem that the ECB pointed put
- 13:22out yesterday? Roses are red.
- 13:24Violets are blue, we will stay the course and return inflation
- 13:28to to well you can opt out of this and you can hold Bitcoin
- 13:33and I just find it hilarious. And when I put this on the on
- 13:36simply Bitcoin, Twitter account this morning, I connected the
- 13:41two dots. And of course, the ECB says, the
- 13:44expansion of the Bitcoin and Bitcoin industry could lead to
- 13:48risk, spilling over into the baking sector and his back to
- 13:52this whole idea, we tell you guys all the time, the risk is
- 13:55to their control, nothing else. There is no, we here.
- 13:58They are absolutely terrified about the idea that they are
- 14:01getting disintermediated. That there are losing their
- 14:04power. Because now, you can opt in to a
- 14:06system that they don't control and shouts out the Mining tank
- 14:10right here because I really like this Framing and it's back to
- 14:13what I continuously. I've been telling you guys and I
- 14:15told you in the before or in the first part of the segment and in
- 14:18yesterday spaces, it's very interesting that now, they are
- 14:22pivoting to its Bitcoins fault that we are screwed.
- 14:25So just understand where the theme is going here, guys and
- 14:29understand where they're going to try to reframe the
- 14:32conversation. It's not that the risk of
- 14:35Bitcoin to the average person is a concern.
- 14:39The The real concern here is that they are losing control and
- 14:43the risk to bitcoin is what do we say all the time?
- 14:46What did Charlie Munger and what was the Kody saying Bitcoin is
- 14:51rat poison squared? Well, it's very interesting that
- 14:55the rats are scared of the rat poison because it literally
- 15:00eliminates their control and now they're going to frame it.
- 15:03Oh, you know, Bitcoin is the reason why we are screwed up
- 15:06when we have shown continuously shun the receipts Inflation is
- 15:10starting to get out of control, not only in the west but it's
- 15:13all around the world and this is because they're continuously
- 15:15printing money and they can try to plan Bitcoin all they want
- 15:19for their faults, but we will continuously bring these
- 15:22receipts and continuously show that hey, this has nothing to do
- 15:25with us. There is Bitcoin and there is
- 15:27shit coined and I will lump in the Fiat Dollar in shit coin.
- 15:32So hey ECB, I really love your projections.
- 15:35Chrissy, I love that you are still talking about me.
- 15:39Be here still leaving needing to put Bitcoin in the conversation
- 15:43but this has nothing to do with Bitcoin and as I think it's just
- 15:46more signal that the banks are absolutely terrified about
- 15:50Bitcoin about what we're doing here and they know exactly what
- 15:53the game is. So it's no longer that the
- 15:55powers that be the unproductive class the people at the top.
- 15:58Don't understand Bitcoin. I think it's very clear that
- 16:01they are very aware of what Bitcoin does but they know one
- 16:04thing that the average person out there still doesn't get
- 16:07Bitcoin. Still doesn't get what's
- 16:08happening. And and so they're going to lean
- 16:11into this narrative. And this is where we are, guys.
- 16:14This is where the framing is headed.
- 16:16So just be aware out there understand that we are winning
- 16:19the narrative war and we will continue to win the narrative
- 16:22War. So it's very very interesting to
- 16:26see them frame this right now. But hey, I don't know.
- 16:29I know I'm the in-house truth or over here.
- 16:32But Rushton, what's your thoughts?
- 16:33Yeah, I know you're gonna have a good take on this.
- 16:35You always bring me receipts. All right.
- 16:37I like soapy, man. Van over there, said, tell me
- 16:41you're scared of Bitcoin without telling me you scared of Bitcoin
- 16:44and then Bitcoin Becca. She dropped this dime right
- 16:46here, roses are red. Violets are blue, you will eat
- 16:49some bugs and we will eat wag you but they got an ass
- 16:54backwards off to you because they're saying Bitcoins are
- 16:56relevant because Banks don't use it.
- 17:00No, banks are made irrelevant by Bitcoin, you jackasses.
- 17:03And when we go to the IMF they don't want you to And and the
- 17:08EU, they don't want people saving money, they don't want El
- 17:11Salvador getting out from under their Boot and paying off their
- 17:15debt because the IMF holds Nations hostage, go ahead and
- 17:19check out confessions of an economic Hitman.
- 17:22They're trying to force them into using their cut bucks and
- 17:25these Banks well probably not going to make it yeah yeah, good
- 17:30shit Opti. Let's go.
- 17:32Alright, ECB, what's your thoughts on this?
- 17:35Yeah, my take on that. Is that when they say we are
- 17:37Screwed. It depends on which we they're
- 17:38talking about. Because if you're talking about
- 17:40the bankers, if you're talking about the politicians, you are
- 17:42absolutely screwed. There's no doubt about it.
- 17:44This entire system, this inflationary system only worked
- 17:47because it was a monopoly and now the breakdown of the
- 17:50Monopoly that Bitcoin is presenting.
- 17:52They are definitely screwed. I don't think it's a coincidence
- 17:55that maybe the first thing they're trying to go after is
- 17:57the idea of like being able to save which is exactly what
- 18:00Bitcoin finally provides. So the idea that they don't want
- 18:03you holding Bitcoin necessarily in a bank account, or that makes
- 18:06me think of In Britain, there, kind of piloting, the idea of
- 18:09putting like a 10 or 20 thousand pound limit on how much their
- 18:12CDC would allow you to save. And I think that's really just
- 18:15because capital accumulation is what leads to, you know,
- 18:19prosperity and power for the normal person.
- 18:22And they don't want the normal person to accumulate any power
- 18:24that could actually kind of go toe-to-toe with their power
- 18:27structure. So, I think it's really an
- 18:28attack on capital accumulation to just kind of hold the little
- 18:31man, hold the little man down and, you know, keep their thumb
- 18:35on their neck. Did I could not learn more.
- 18:40Yeah, exactly. I could not agree more and I
- 18:43love the two points that you made because I say this all the
- 18:46time. Once I got the idea incepted in
- 18:48my mind, anytime I hear we it's like I always have the same
- 18:52question. Like who the f is weak?
- 18:54Because I know you and I are not on the same playing field and I
- 18:58understand that our incentives are completely different but to
- 19:02your point and I think this is the best point that we need to.
- 19:05Oh my God I use we Man to your point that I need to use and
- 19:12lean into this narrative. More is the idea that capital
- 19:15capital accumulation is power guys.
- 19:17There's nothing wrong with saving and they the powers that
- 19:20be will continuously lean into this idea that you guys are
- 19:24hoarders. That saving is bad, that saving
- 19:26is destroying the economy because we need to make sure
- 19:28that the throughput of our money is is at a high velocity.
- 19:32It's like man the only way that Society is built is by capital
- 19:36accumulation Ian and now they want dystopian, technocracy
- 19:41where you cannot save for your future, and it's very much.
- 19:44What, what you said, you know, a mulch, so that they can maintain
- 19:47power and The Jig Is up. And as bitcoiners, this is what
- 19:51we're continuously trying to show people.
- 19:53But hey, we got a lot to cover. So, Rustin, let's get into the
- 19:56news. The Daily News brought to you by
- 20:02block stream. Jade built by bitcoiners for
- 20:05bitcoiners. It's an open source.

- 20:36All right, let's get to it. So is Nico told us earlier
- 20:39inflation around the world, we're going to get to that.
- 20:42So Argentina annual inflation hits 99%, this is wild.
- 20:48So Argentina's inflation sped up, more than expected in
- 20:51January is price controls proved ineffective because price
- 20:54controls work guys, further complicating.
- 20:57The government strategy ahead of the presidential election
- 21:00consumer Prices rose ninety eight point eight percent from a
- 21:04year earlier and This is data according to the government
- 21:08data, from Tuesday, Fernandez has unconventional strategy to
- 21:13contain inflation, let's check this bold strategy, cotton, a
- 21:17mix of price freezes currency controls, multiple exchange
- 21:20rates and high borrowing costs. Oh, guess what they failed to
- 21:24cool cost-of-living increases. No, no surprises there.
- 21:28On Monday economy, minister of economy.
- 21:30Ministers, Sergio Masa rolled out new price controls on beef
- 21:34and said he's preparing more. Our measures to reel in the
- 21:37rising cost of living guys, price controls don't work.
- 21:41They further distort prices. They lead to further issues in
- 21:45Supply and development that cause further shortages or
- 21:48overproduction regardless you get waste and further Market
- 21:52disruption occurs. But at least the people have
- 21:56found an off-ramp because if we check it out peer-to-peer
- 21:59Bitcoin trading in, Argentina is booming.
- 22:04Let's check this out. Let's look at the numbers down
- 22:06here. The P2P Bitcoin trading volumes
- 22:09of Q4. Showed a market, increase over
- 22:13Q, 2 and Q. 3 on top of this, with the way the trading is
- 22:17going, it looks like q1. 2023 will Top the volume January and
- 22:21February each solve volumes of forty.
- 22:23Eight forty, two point eight million Argentine pesos on the
- 22:27lightning Network, big deal. So like every action right has
- 22:31an equal and opposite reaction. So we see what Argentina has
- 22:35forced their people to use money money, that steals from them,
- 22:39and it's been just outlandish and they're looking for a new
- 22:42direction. As you remember Malay
- 22:45presidential candidate and Argentina has said that Bitcoin
- 22:49prevents politicians from robbing you through inflation.
- 22:52He also said The first thing we have to understand is that the
- 22:57central bank is a scam. Now I don't know guys sounds
- 23:01pretty based but Argentina will see they are being pushed to
- 23:04bitcoin. Adoption is increasing so they
- 23:08still have their Escape Route right now, we saw the caps in
- 23:12the UK. Do some stupid ad here.
- 23:17Let's go. Okay, so when the UK check the
- 23:24headline, Consumer price increases slowed slightly.
- 23:30Okay, but let's go take a look at this and how they tell us
- 23:33about inflation. Now in UK, they're up about 10%
- 23:36so and they're trying to make it a positive that it didn't
- 23:39increase that much. But on a monthly basis,
- 23:42inflation was rapid. It climbed point five percent
- 23:45from December core inflation remains fast food prices are
- 23:49climbing swiftly. They Rose point five percent on
- 23:52a monthly basis. The upshot inflation is showing
- 23:55a warring amount of Staying power even as it moderates from
- 23:59at Peak from its peak, but you guys have heard, you know, the
- 24:02bullshit, the economy strong, everyone's doing well, right?
- 24:06And let's go check here. So in the US inflation, we're
- 24:13doing good 6.45. Maybe if you just eat Frosted
- 24:17Flakes and Cheez-Its, look at this price changes over the last
- 24:22year, fuel plus 27, gas plus, 26, Transportation, plus 14,
- 24:27electricity, plus 12 food. So, all the basic necessities to
- 24:31lie to live and survive. They're all going up.
- 24:34But if you eat chicken nuggets, and watch Netflix, you doing
- 24:38pretty good. Okay.
- 24:39On to the next one. And Gin, they're telling you the
- 24:42economy, strong that inflation's under control the j-pal and his
- 24:47minions can handle all of it. But core CPI.
- 24:50Core CPI has risen for the 30 second straight month.
- 24:55This is from Zero Hedge headline.
- 24:57Inflation hotter than expected year-over-year driven by lagging
- 25:01shelter. It's pretty bad out there and on
- 25:07top of it all there's some great advertising for Bitcoin from
- 25:11this ineptitude from the fed and all these Central planners plans
- 25:15only become plans for chaos and the u.s. paying a record amount
- 25:18of Interest beyond their interest rates that they are
- 25:21moving up themselves. How long until a possible
- 25:25default or the money printer gets going again, probably not
- 25:28long. So let's see here, the fourth
- 25:31quarter tab was also nearly 30 billion more than the prior
- 25:34quarter. Quarter and that is 1/4
- 25:37difference 30 billion dollar increase on the interest of the
- 25:40debt. The nation's borrowing costs
- 25:42will continue to increase that's because the existing debt
- 25:45matures, the government Issues, new debt with the higher
- 25:49prevailing, interest rates, the higher rates, could increase the
- 25:51net interest costs on the national debt to about nine
- 25:54trillion over the next date decade.
- 25:57So 9 trillion in just interest payments like is this
- 26:01sustainable to you? Is this possible?
- 26:05Up from the record. Eight point one trillion that
- 26:07the CBO projected in May 20-22. So, that's what they're telling
- 26:11you Opti. You could go ahead and play
- 26:13those two clips. First, we'll start with Yes.
- 26:20Yes, from the White House. Press Secretary here.
- 26:22Everything's fine, guys. He said this, so I will just say
- 26:27what he said on Friday which is that the state of the economy is
- 26:29strong. And that, you know, you see that
- 26:33in the lowest unemployment rate in 53 years.
- 26:35You see that in the most jobs, created in the last two years in
- 26:39our country, he Wow, that's pretty astounding.
- 26:46Now let's get to the next. One j-pal said it's okay
- 26:48everything's fine, guys. You know we got nothing to worry
- 26:50about, right? All right.
- 26:53One second. Why are they telling us?
- 26:55Everything is fine. Here we go.
- 27:01Well, the labor market is strong because the economy strong and
- 27:04as I mentioned, it's a good thing that we've been able to
- 27:07see the beginnings of disinflation without seeing the
- 27:10labor market weakened. The labor market strong.
- 27:15Are you shitting me? Have you seen this stuff?
- 27:18I mean we know the numbers are fudged in these things but let's
- 27:21look at just 20 23, some major, major layoffs.
- 27:27Am an avalanche of layoffs in some sectors of the u.s. job
- 27:30market particularly across Tech, Finance and media.
- 27:33Disney announced 7,000 job cuts on February 9th, as part of its
- 27:37corporate restructuring to save five point five billion.
- 27:41The recent announced announced Announcements.
- 27:42Build on the overall percent increase in job, Cuts recorded
- 27:46in the US during 2022 and places Disney among growing numbers of
- 27:50large companies. Resorting to layoffs, Tech
- 27:52firms, including Amazon Google, Microsoft and meta have been
- 27:56especially hit hard by the economic downturn.
- 27:58Some 159,000 786 jobs have been cut by the tech firms last year
- 28:04because the inflation is under control and the economy.
- 28:07Strong. Don't worry about it.
- 28:09You and me know they're full of shit and Go ahead and round it
- 28:13off here in short. I can tell you j-pal and those
- 28:16boy they got their head in their belly button and they are not
- 28:20there detached from reality. But let's go ahead here.
- 28:23Say embankment freed Terrell and Ellison and other company
- 28:26insiders subpoenaed by fdxtra document.
- 28:29So we'll go ahead and round it out with a little scam.
- 28:31Bankster fraud update so insiders including free, Dormer
- 28:36Alameda, CEO, Carolyn Ellison, bickman frites.
- 28:38Father Joseph Bateman as well as Gary wing and ishod seeing have
- 28:42been Served subpoenas now let's see.
- 28:45Bingman freed is specifically asked for information on FTX
- 28:48Alameda and emergent Fidelity Technologies a holding company,
- 28:51he ran with former FTX executive Gary Wayne business performance,
- 28:55all emails from FDX account and personal Gmail details, real
- 28:59estate holdings and supporting documents he made to back up
- 29:02statements and they've got until the 16th to produce all these
- 29:06documents heating up. Hopefully, this guy gets what's
- 29:10coming to him and This will be sad but a lot of news guys
- 29:14inflation not looking good economy, not looking good but
- 29:19the propaganda in Chiefs will say otherwise.
- 29:23Wow, hold on. Before I want to get a taken
- 29:26care of Bitcoins. Take before I just do some rants
- 29:29but before we do that I really like this comment that Frank
- 29:32aren't put here. It's kind of back to the idea of
- 29:35what I put what I said in the numbers.
- 29:37About the ECB saying like oh on the one hand Bitcoin is
- 29:40insignificant. And on the other hand And oh,
- 29:42you know, it might blow up the whole financial sector houses.
- 29:46Comment Bitcoin is the reason economy is going bad, but the
- 29:49economy is doing good and rushed into brings all the numbers.
- 29:54Oh my goodness. Anyways, TCP, jump it.
- 29:57Yeah, my thought on that, man, that the inflation.
- 29:59And the dead thing is interesting.
- 30:00I mean, I like to tell people if you just sat right here and you
- 30:03were just going to count to 31 trillion.
- 30:05Justjust one, two three. It would take you nine hundred
- 30:08and eighty four thousand years, no breaks, no snacks.
- 30:12Those sleep. So you're talking about now that
- 30:14we're going to start rolling over this power of large
- 30:16numbers, as they raise the interest rate, 1 2 3 4 5
- 30:20percent, one percent of 30 1 trillion dollars is 300 billion
- 30:24dollars you go to percent, you got our US military, you go, a
- 30:273%, you got more than the US military.
- 30:29So I think it's a congressional budget office projects that it's
- 30:32going to be like 1.2 1.3 trillion dollars of deficit or
- 30:36just interest payments on that debt by 2030.
- 30:38So, you had that on, we're already running a
- 30:40trillion-dollar deficit as it is.
- 30:42So the idea of like two or three trillion dollar deficits every
- 30:45year are right around the corner and that just keeps adding to
- 30:49that large number and makes that percentage spiral problem even
- 30:52worse. So yeah, then they can come out
- 30:54here all day long and say, yeah, everything's fine, everything's
- 30:57fine. But that's the beauty about math
- 30:59is, you can't argue with math, so it feels a lot like the
- 31:02Titanic. I, they were kind of like,
- 31:03saying, hey, this isn't this isn't sinking.
- 31:05This isn't sinking until he had water all around their kneecaps.
- 31:08It feels very much like that. And I think like the math
- 31:10doesn't lie, and all you got to do is do the Have them.
- 31:12Look at it and it was like, then all of a sudden, the propaganda
- 31:14doesn't work. Because math is math is a
- 31:18political. It doesn't care.
- 31:19It's good to give you the truth and the truth is they got a huge
- 31:22problem on their hands. Yeah.
- 31:24Without a doubt, nailed it. Yeah, exactly.
- 31:27You reminded me of what Greg fossil.
- 31:29He says like it's 11th grade math and I know math is hard
- 31:32guys. But like big numbers, you can't
- 31:36hide them. You can't just sweep them under
- 31:38the rug. Anyways, we got a super chat
- 31:40right here before I go in on my little rant.
- 31:42Shouts out to her boy, baked five dollar US dollar super.
- 31:45Teddy goes at my daughter's piano recital now, but I've got
- 31:49my ear pods in because I'd rather listen to Simply Bitcoin
- 31:51than some dumb Beethoven, that's dedication.
- 31:55Man. Make your Savage, your Savage
- 31:59anyways. Back to the all the news that
- 32:01you covered. Oh man, it really is amazing.
- 32:06How the powers that be are continuously able to use CPI.
- 32:12Lie to manipulate the masses to try to Gaslight people into
- 32:17them, not believing their eyes and ears and understanding that.
- 32:21Wow. Everything is getting more
- 32:24expensive. My life is getting more
- 32:26expensive and it's not like my life is getting better.
- 32:28I'm literally just floating and and just trying to ensure my own
- 32:32Survival and some said it. Someone said it in the chat like
- 32:36yeah, unemployment may be lower, but everyone's working like
- 32:39three jobs now, or what's the employment?
- 32:42It is higher because people working three jobs now, like
- 32:45absolutely insane. And I mean to the idea that we
- 32:49continuously say on this show that Bitcoin is an inflation
- 32:53hedge it to monetary inflation hedge and the global South is
- 32:58very willing to adopt Bitcoin because they understand that
- 33:01they can't trust the government to maintain their money supply
- 33:05like anyone with a brain are better.
- 33:08Yet anyone that isn't in the western world and hasn't been
- 33:11lulled to sleep by Complacency understand that the government
- 33:15is incentivized to manipulate the money supply, to ensure that
- 33:19they make themselves richer, that they enrich themselves and
- 33:24we are seeing what the effects are.
- 33:26This happening around the world. The latest example is, what's
- 33:29happening in Argentina. They have 99 percent inflation
- 33:32rate and people are adopting Bitcoin on a peer-to-peer
- 33:35standard. Like this is the inevitable end
- 33:38of all Fiat, currencies, of course, Us in the United States
- 33:42will be the last currency to implode because we are the world
- 33:45Reserve currency, but don't be lulled to sleep by, this will
- 33:49happen to us. And, you know, I just love that
- 33:54they say, you know, inflation isn't that much guys like be
- 33:57okay with a little theft, like let's get back to 2% guys, you
- 33:59know, just 2% theft, it's fine, you guys won't notice it.
- 34:03I remember someone said it in a tweet there, like I might have
- 34:06been pressing pick and he imagine if someone came to your
- 34:10house and stole only two percent of the goods in your house you
- 34:13may not notice. But once it gets hired, a 10%,
- 34:1620% 99%, this is when you start to freak out and you know I say
- 34:21it all the time the tyrants are better.
- 34:22I can there's a Bitcoin than we are because pain is how people
- 34:27learn and they will continuously drive people into Bitcoin.
- 34:30So the amount of doublespeak that we are hearing right now is
- 34:34absolutely amazing. I think I say it all the time
- 34:37that have we seen the peak of clown World, probably not, but
- 34:41the unproductive class is so out of touch with reality and it is
- 34:45amazing that we are in this point right now where they are
- 34:50literally lying to our faces on. On on and corporate press and
- 34:55people people are just eating it up.
- 34:57It's like, what's that mean? They're pissing on your head and
- 35:00telling you it is raining. I feel like this is where we're
- 35:04at. Anyways, Russian you said, you
- 35:05got some more numbers. All right, who said that Jeff
- 35:08Booth said that? Jump in, bro.
- 35:12Oh yeah, so we got we did a video yesterday, Lynn, Alden did
- 35:15a thread on the history of CPI, so you're thinking about it
- 35:19right now, how long until things normalize well in WWII, it took
- 35:24about 12 years till prices started to level out.
- 35:27And over that time, let me see. It was about 127 percent
- 35:34increased their then if you go to the 70s Oil Embargo are the
- 35:38the oil crisis there. Over two decades, CPI prices
- 35:43increased two hundred thirty seven percent over a 20-year
- 35:47period. And when we look at the 2020s,
- 35:50both of those had three very massive inflationary spikes, and
- 35:55we are in the first inflationary spikes.
- 35:57So if that cycle continues like history, kind of Rhymes a little
- 36:00bit. We still have two major
- 36:02inflationary shocks to go, but are we entering that why Mar
- 36:07because we see the effect of monetary expansion, you know,
- 36:11it's time that it lasts in the market dwindles and you need an
- 36:15exponentially larger injection each in each crisis.
- 36:20So it's just not looking good out there advertisement for
- 36:23Bitcoin guys. I mean, it's just everywhere.
- 36:25Did win the beginning of this and people, it's like the frog
- 36:30in boiling water. Water.
- 36:31Get at least we have the Escape valve.
- 36:33That is Bitcoin because it seems like we are.
- 36:35I'm not even in the first inning.
- 36:37We're probably like the first out of the first inning and
- 36:39inflate. We're just barely starting to
- 36:41see the effects of inflation on on society and everyone.
- 36:45But I guess it's all good for Bitcoin because, you know,
- 36:48humans learn via pain and the more pain, the more they will
- 36:51find Solutions and we will be on the Bitcoin standard.
- 36:54Anyways, let's get into the culture.

- 38:25So So go check it out, guys. We hope to see you in the flesh.
- 38:29Come hang out with us as I sell the time.
- 38:31The best part about these conferences hanging out with
- 38:33other Bitcoins because I know you guys don't have enough
- 38:35bitcoiners in your life. Anyways, today's guess is taken
- 38:40care of Bitcoin. And I'm, I'm really excited
- 38:44about today's conversation. Because this is something that I
- 38:47literally latch onto continuously on this show is
- 38:51trying to iterate and find the best ways to get Bitcoin to
- 38:55everyone out there. And I can see, you know, taking
- 38:58care of Bitcoin not not to be an ages here but you are a little
- 39:03older than I am. You are a little wiser than I
- 39:05am. So I my first question before I
- 39:08get into some of these comments is what are you?
- 39:11What are you feeling? Like are you getting a lot of
- 39:13pushback or are you seeing people jump into Bitcoin from
- 39:16your your age group from your demographics?
- 39:18When your orange, killing people older may be wiser?
- 39:22I'm not so sure it's Sting. So, like I kind of flipped the
- 39:27podcast idea on its head on taking care of Bitcoin.
- 39:29My idea is that I kind of came to it.
- 39:32There's a lot of kind of noise as a lot of kind of moonboy
- 39:34stuff. There's a lot of like not really
- 39:35talking about why Bitcoin is important.
- 39:37Not really so much about how it's going to make you money,
- 39:39but why it's really important for like the future of like a
- 39:42free people. So I just try to meet people
- 39:45where they're at. So I talked to a lot of people
- 39:47that are either just very very new to bitcoin or Bitcoin
- 39:50curious couple that have just like just kind of started their
- 39:53journey and I just try to meet them where their knowledge And
- 39:56bring them kind of confident answers to their very early
- 39:59questions so that they can kind of a kind of kick.
- 40:02Start that journey in a way. That's not as intimidating as
- 40:05maybe, you know, listening to all the people we love, you
- 40:08know, Preston and Jeff Booth. The people talk about yield
- 40:10curve control and some things that might go over their head in
- 40:11the beginning. So yeah, I just try to meet them
- 40:14where they're at, and I thought that might be a little bit
- 40:16redundant, talking to people, but I've found that people come
- 40:19to bitcoin from a lot of different angles because Bitcoin
- 40:22touches people in a lot of different ways.
- 40:24Whether it's from technology or whether it's the Ation problem,
- 40:26or whether it's just an economics background or just
- 40:30just flat-out. Hey, what the hell is this
- 40:32thing? So I just try to meet them where
- 40:34they're at, give that kind of original orange, pilling
- 40:37conversation a little virality. And yeah, it's going pretty well
- 40:41so far, just because I can see people just go from kind of 02.
- 40:46Okay, this is something bigger. This is something more
- 40:48interesting than I maybe thought it was coming in.
- 40:50So, that's what I try to do. And, you know, if anybody's out
- 40:53there, that wants to come on or know somebody that wants to come
- 40:55on or you're sick. Having that orange peel
- 40:56conversation at a barbecue, please send them my way because
- 40:59that's the whole idea is just to Mint as many Freedom Fighters as
- 41:02possible. Let's go.
- 41:04Absolutely love it. And you say something you said
- 41:07something right now that I continuously say all the time
- 41:10and I stole this from How to Win, Friends and Influence by
- 41:12Dale Carnegie and it's exactly what you just said, meet people
- 41:15where they are as something I've learned recently is the same
- 41:19idea, you know, I think bitcoiners, we have the facts
- 41:21and that sometimes I, we might be getting a little impatient.
- 41:24We just like, for spill people. We beat them over the head with
- 41:27the Bitcoin signal whereas like, you know, understand who you're
- 41:30talking to understand who your audience is and frame Bitcoin in
- 41:34such a way that you can show them that this is going to
- 41:37benefit their life. And I think you're doing a
- 41:39really great job. I look like I got your Twitter
- 41:42over here and I saw this theme that I really really enjoy and I
- 41:46want to hear your input on how you got this, but you say it
- 41:51right here and all your new episodes coin is for software
- 41:53engineers and you got another one To go.
- 41:56You got like Bitcoin is for podcasters or the next one you
- 42:01got. I think it was like Bitcoin is
- 42:03for filmmakers and so I really like this framing of like I know
- 42:08we say it on a general level like Bitcoin is for everyone but
- 42:13I are Bitcoin is for the digital media industry.
- 42:15Like I think framing it and little niche areas like this,
- 42:19like Bitcoin is for is a great way to capture people's
- 42:22attention of like, oh wait, Bitcoin can benefit me me in
- 42:26either my industry or my personal life and you know,
- 42:29Bitcoin is much more than just internet nerd money out there
- 42:33and it can actually benefit your life, you know, we say it all
- 42:36the time Bitcoin is for Freedom, Fighters Bitcoin is an inflation
- 42:39hedge. You know, there's so many memes
- 42:41that you can add on to bitcoin is for, but I really like,
- 42:44you're angling on your Twitter account where you're talking
- 42:46about, like, yo, fitting in everyone's interest and how
- 42:51Bitcoin can benefit them. So, what, how did you come up
- 42:53with that? But I started with that kind of
- 42:56idea is just the idea that Bitcoin is for for everybody,
- 42:59right? It's like you know, sometimes we
- 43:00can get kind of stuck in the Echo chamber of just talking to
- 43:03each other and we're all just like, yeah, Bitcoins, great.
- 43:05I was like, yeah, I agree. It was like, okay, that's
- 43:07awesome. You know, but eventually what's
- 43:10this thing's here, this thing works, what it needs is
- 43:13adoption. So we need to be able to reach
- 43:15out of those circles and pull people into those circles in a
- 43:17way that makes sense to them. So the idea of Bitcoin is for
- 43:21whoever I'm talking to is the Hope is that hey there?
- 43:24Share that with their friends and family, they share that with
- 43:26their Network. Those people might listen just
- 43:29because they know that person or they have some kind of
- 43:32connection to that person and then accidentally, they hear
- 43:34something that may be triggers. A little bit of curiosity or
- 43:37letting like kind of drives a little bit of kind of further
- 43:39intellectual energy, just putting towards something.
- 43:43It's like, Oh, I thought that was just some kind of
- 43:44speculative. Bullshit bet.
- 43:46Wait a second. Oh, I didn't ever thought about
- 43:48that angle? I never thought about a given
- 43:50property rights to all of humanity.
- 43:51I never thought about how you know these people in Lebanon or
- 43:54like Like try to rob their own bank accounts to get it their
- 43:57own money. It was like maybe this isn't
- 43:58just some kind of bull crap internet that money.
- 44:01So like try to frame why it's important not so much why it's
- 44:04an investment. I like to tell people, you know,
- 44:07Bitcoins an investment in the future of human Freedom.
- 44:09So let's hope it breaks to the upside.
- 44:12I love it, I love it. And I like this little quote,
- 44:15you put here, you know, we say this all the time and this is
- 44:18something I think. Like, I've personally dedicated
- 44:22my whole life to is the same thing that you put here.
- 44:24Like we talked to people from all walks of life and enter the
- 44:27basic questions, common to every Bitcoin Noob.
- 44:29We're trying to onboard as many Freedom Fighters as possible.
- 44:32Let's take care of Bitcoin. So before I ask what you came up
- 44:36with the name of taking care of Bitcoin, I just want to ask you.
- 44:40What's your, how has been the response to your perspective on
- 44:47being like a freedom fighter? Do you think the average person
- 44:49cares about Freedom as much as we do our, we just like a niche
- 44:52group on the internet that like thinks, Freedom is the most
- 44:55important thing that most people should care about.
- 44:58Yeah, I think it's probably one of those things where they care
- 45:01about it once. They kind of have two, which is
- 45:03a little more difficult when you're talking about a United
- 45:05States audience because I like we kind of lead into we have
- 45:07Financial privilege or banking institutions are pretty good.
- 45:10So you have to kind of explain how Bitcoin is a global
- 45:14permissionless asset. That, you know, you might not
- 45:17care because your Bank of America account or whatever
- 45:19works fine. But the idea that this no matter
- 45:23who you are, where you are on Earth, What kind of economic
- 45:25situation you're in? What kind of authoritarian
- 45:28regime? You might live under kind of the
- 45:30idea that it's, you know, Freedom matters and like Freedom
- 45:33has been kind of marginalized. I feel like a recent years, the
- 45:36pendulums got a swinging back a little bit hopefully, but when
- 45:40it kind of went Freedom kind of gets pushed into a corner, it
- 45:43feels like all of a sudden Bitcoin was kind of a freedom
- 45:46fighter super weapon that we just found at the game that all
- 45:49of a sudden allows you to fight back because the thing about
- 45:52people that are really value, Freedom is there horrible at
- 45:56organizing. So the thought that they're
- 45:57going to like really go and like start some kind of political
- 46:00movement, that's going to really move things but they just want
- 46:01to be left alone and they just want to do their thing and they
- 46:03just want to raise their family. It's hard for those people to
- 46:06organize the less, you can really organize around a really
- 46:08powerful idea. And I think that idea is Bitcoin
- 46:11that allows you to collectively organized without even meeting
- 46:14each other without even rallying together.
- 46:16You all just rally around an idea and spread that idea and
- 46:20that idea is going viral that obviously has legs.
- 46:22So it just needs all of us to kind of Push it along and we can
- 46:25all do that from our own space. I love it, bro.
- 46:29And restaurants. Are you taking notes?
- 46:30I want you to jump in as well, but you just kind of touched on
- 46:34the name taking care of Bitcoin. And I think, I think you just
- 46:38kind of added that to set at the end.
- 46:39But how did you come up with the name and then I'll address and
- 46:41of it. Oh, yeah, just came.
- 46:43I'm a huge Elvis Presley fan honestly.
- 46:45Like, that's where it came from. So, it was the take care of
- 46:48business, he used to wear like, you know, the TCB.
- 46:50Memphis, I do it. I feel what I have there.
- 46:53Yes. I was like, you know, just take
- 46:582, CB, I'm going to start, you know, the, you know, the mempool
- 47:01mafia or whatever the hell would be.
- 47:02But like, so it's just that idea of that kind of rip.
- 47:05So take care of business, you know, that's a great idea.
- 47:07Would you got to take care of it, we got to spread it.
- 47:09So TCB, baby. Let's go.
- 47:11Let's go. Taking care of Bitcoin, taking
- 47:18care of business. Question mark earlier and I was
- 47:21like awesome man. So mean Meeting people where
- 47:25they are. It's kind of like education 101
- 47:28and some people just like negate that they think they have a
- 47:30one-size-fits-all statement that a fit everyone but everyone
- 47:34comes from different areas and niches and interests and like
- 47:38you were touching on all the areas that Bitcoin touches Tech
- 47:43economics politics. I mean it's just wild wild and
- 47:48finding which area appeals to a certain individuals so that you
- 47:51can give them you know, just drop a little nuggets here.
- 47:54Are and and send them on their way.
- 47:57And people come for the tech, the econ, the gains, the
- 48:00political side, just really badass, and finding what
- 48:04Garner's that intriguing people. I love what you said there.
- 48:08At the end with freedom. People would care about Freedom
- 48:13when they have to, or once they understand its real value, which
- 48:18goes back to the first statement, man.
- 48:20Awesome stuff. I loved hearing you today TCB
- 48:23that the killed crap. Appreciate it.
- 48:25Yeah yeah. 100% And it and you like to you guys a point about
- 48:29Freedom at the end, you know, I'm a first-generation American
- 48:32and it really is mind blowing. How little people care about
- 48:36Freedom, you know, we are the land of the Brave home went
- 48:39home, what's it home of the free.
- 48:40And yet most people just couldn't like, I think they've
- 48:43been lulled to sleep or complacent about this whole
- 48:46idea, like people have literally died for this freedom and people
- 48:50are just giving it away on a platter and this is why there's
- 48:53so many of us. Owners that you know, say to me
- 48:56like we will die on this hill. This is something that I think
- 48:59not only is going to benefit my life but it's going to benefit
- 49:03all of humanity from this point forward.
- 49:05And I think this is part of this idea that bitcoiners and I do it
- 49:10in myself and I continuously go through this process of like
- 49:12taking what we're doing, very seriously and understanding the
- 49:16importance of everything we're doing here and I know we like to
- 49:18giggle and have fun while we're doing this.
- 49:20Because if you're not laughing and enjoying your time during
- 49:23this, this this A transition. It can get very dark mentally
- 49:28and we have to ensure that we are in the best mental space.
- 49:32But it's very interesting just how little people care about
- 49:36freedom and the home of the free.
- 49:38And so, you know, kudos to you and we will both be brothers in
- 49:43arms, spreading the Bitcoin message.
- 49:45So, continue on the mission, bro, and we will continue on the
- 49:49mission. So everyone go check out taking
- 49:51care of Bitcoin, taking care of Bitcoin.com.
- 49:54Mom. But let's move into the memes,
- 49:56guys. Your favorite portion of the
- 49:57show. The daily meme review brought to
- 50:04you by Kaboom racks. I get this question all the
- 50:06time. Nico.
- 50:07Where should I buy Bitcoin? Miners to answer is Kaboom
- 50:10racks. It's the best place to buy
- 50:12Bitcoin miners. That's where you're going to
- 50:13find the best deals and the best prices start.

- 50:26Kaboom racks. All right, guys, you already
- 50:32know this is the meaning of your favorite.
- 50:33Portion of the show, continuously tag me in memes On
- 50:37Target off with a bang. Yeah, also drop memes in our
- 50:42telegram group. T.
- 50:44Dot me slash simply Bitcoin and I will do my best to get through
- 50:48all of the signal in there, to get you guys the memes on the
- 50:51show. But again tag me on Twitter.
- 50:54I will I'll you know I like them and I'll get them.
- 50:57On the show. There's only there's only some
- 50:59spots but you already know tweets are the bullets.
- 51:02Memes are the artillery as TCB showed us and we continuously
- 51:05elaborate on the idea that we are all in the information War.
- 51:10Right now you guys are Frontline soldiers.
- 51:13Continue to put truth, in art, continue to get calls of action
- 51:16continued to spread the signal because this is all we have to
- 51:19do. On the one hand, it is an
- 51:21education front. We do need to educate our
- 51:24friends and our family. But on the other hand, it is a
- 51:27weapon. And because we are in an
- 51:29information War and the only thing that the corporate press
- 51:33has is the Monopoly on truth. So tweets are the bullets.
- 51:36Memes are the artillery continue to put your hat in the ring and
- 51:39continue to counter all the Fudd from the corporate press.
- 51:44Anyways, let's get into this meme.
- 51:46This first one. Shout out to my boy rope, he
- 51:49continuously trolls. Me in my DM's telling me that I
- 51:52have, I am the worst person at scribing memes.
- 51:55So let me do. Do this meme not so much Justice
- 52:00because I'm going to obviously butcher it again.
- 52:03But anyways, rope goes at roping on.
- 52:05Twitter can ton steak, but, you know, jpegs and we gotta we got
- 52:12a queen on on her pedestal and it's clean vitalik with unicorns
- 52:17and rainbows on her dress and a little etherium in his fingers,
- 52:21her fingers, I don't want to, I don't want to, you know, Here at
- 52:28Mickey, never mind. I'm not going to say it because
- 52:30in the space you'll get that anyway, that says Department of
- 52:32trans. But telling this is pointing out
- 52:36at the Masjid, let them own jpegs, a throwback to let them
- 52:41eat cake. This next one, shouts out to at
- 52:43pleb signal BTC and I think this is something that we we
- 52:48continuously do here. I'm simply Bitcoin is try to
- 52:50illustrate the idea that you are ascribing value to a piece of
- 52:54paper, because you think it has value.
- 52:56But hey, You know this meme literally puts it in one
- 53:01beautiful picture and it goes, the only difference between
- 53:04these two images and we have dollar United States dollar, one
- 53:07dollar bill. And this drawing of a United
- 53:11States. A one dollar bill is that you
- 53:13believe one has more value than other, they are both printed ink
- 53:18on paper. Yet you believe that the dollar
- 53:21bill with green ink has more value than this.
- 53:23Really great. Great illustration US dollar.
- 53:27Okay, this next one sets out to my buddy always fly.
- 53:30So probably one of the best chefs on bitcoin, Twitter.
- 53:33Actually there's a few, I don't want to I don't want to
- 53:35denigrate some of my other friends that are also very good
- 53:38Chef anyways, away, sides together.
- 53:40This is the best thing I have ever made and that's saying
- 53:43something considering I've eaten his steak, pause and it was
- 53:47delicious. Anyway, we got this cat sitting
- 53:50here with a wrench and he's got his paw on a hood of a car.
- 53:56And the cat is bit Coin and the hood of a car is everything.
- 54:00I eat, Bitcoin fixes everything and Bitcoin is a cat that will
- 54:04fix everything, like the mechanic, fixed my car, that
- 54:07looked like the goddamn it. Another one, here we go.
- 54:12I had to, I had to all right, shouts out to Bone, his Sita 777
- 54:17and he goes any takers. I'll include a picture of my
- 54:20original art and we have the meme template of I will trade
- 54:25you an offer. I received 950 million Sach and
- 54:30you receive once at with a JPEG inscribe, Don't Fall For a guys,
- 54:36sure know your belly buttons and the current thing, man, the
- 54:41current thing Bitcoin is love. The current thing guys, it's
- 54:44back to the idea of Bitcoin, just being so boring.
- 54:46You know, a stable monetary network is just so boring guys.
- 54:49That, like, we got to make up new entry quote-unquote,
- 54:53interesting things that keep us entertained whereas, like I do,
- 54:57No, I like the idea of separating money and stay and
- 55:00just holding a money that doesn't get the base, but hey,
- 55:03maybe I am. You know, toxic Maxie anyways,
- 55:07shouts out to cinema Maniac, 20 and shuts out the Crystal and
- 55:10while he was on the show yesterday, and he tagged Us in
- 55:12this meme, guys, this is what you can do.
- 55:15Tag me in the memes and I'll and I'll get to him anyways.
- 55:18Cinematic 20 goes, Satoshi Nakamoto is the patriarch of
- 55:21this new era, and this is the classic trumpet meme of the, the
- 55:25school girl girls. And And has their head in the,
- 55:29it's a trombone. Sorry.
- 55:30A trombone. And the girl is playing the
- 55:33trombone straight to the head. So the trombone is truth.
- 55:37The person playing the trombone is the Bitcoin maximalist and
- 55:40the person with their head in the trombone is the world.
- 55:44I think this is fitting considering what TCB and I were
- 55:47talking about in the culture. It does feel a lot of times like
- 55:51we are for spilling our friends and family out there and I don't
- 55:55know if I want to say we're doing them amidst Justice.
- 55:57As a disservice by just continuously beating them over
- 56:01the head with the truth but hey this is what we do, everyone do
- 56:05what you think is best beat your friends and family over with the
- 56:08truth with the Bitcoin signal and they will remember oh yeah
- 56:12he was the smart one that told me that I should buy Bitcoin and
- 56:15I didn't listen. Anyways, this next one is by
- 56:17Vandal ABT see on Twitter and he goes never hashtag Bitcoin.
- 56:22And we got a 300 meme actually I missed Miss time that one.
- 56:26We got zero. She's As the Central Bank, he's
- 56:29got inflation and cvtc's on one hand.
- 56:31And he goes, I require only that you take a knee and we got the
- 56:35big corner at the bottom that says, see that's going to be a
- 56:39problem and I got my 300 a Woo's on here for that, right?
- 56:44Not today, Satan Desir. She's anyways, this last one is,
- 56:48by Lena c-shay and it's a little hard, lurk comic.
- 56:53And it's back to this idea that we continuously.
- 56:55Tell you guys on the show, Is that what we are doing here is
- 57:00not only educating people on the one hand, but we are
- 57:03continuously countering the corporate press for the
- 57:05corporate press lies because they are gaslighting the person
- 57:10out there because they know one thing.
- 57:12And they know what we know here at simply Bitcoin is that the
- 57:15average person still doesn't fully understand Bitcoin.
- 57:18And on to an extent I might I might lean into the idea that I
- 57:21don't think they need to fully understand Bitcoin.
- 57:23All they need to understand is that the if they hold their
- 57:26value in Bitcoin, Their life will become better and their
- 57:30savings won't get the base. Like it does on the Fiat
- 57:33standard. Anyways Lena see.
- 57:35Shades comic goes, the daily fun.
- 57:37And we got some little hollers and go or this is the corporate
- 57:39press. Sorry business.
- 57:40We got some suits here because what are we doing today?
- 57:44And there's spinning a wheel to find new narrative, Fudd lines
- 57:48and it lands on destroys the environment so the other suit
- 57:51goes climate change. Wait, what's today's foot?
- 57:54It is climate change and you can see we got ad campaign.
- 57:58Any piling up in bags and we got papers people selling T-shirts,
- 58:02like the change. The code people out there
- 58:04Greenpeace Trek anyways, and we got signed proof of stake over
- 58:08proof of work and we got more signs that Bitcoin will use all
- 58:12the world's energy by 2025. See you see the crossing it out
- 58:17and it needs to need to continuously, move the goal post
- 58:20because Bitcoin is obviously winning and member yesterday.
- 58:25Oh no, it was Friday. I think it was Friday when Mike
- 58:27was on. I jokingly leaned into the idea
- 58:30that we should unplug Austria because it's using too much
- 58:33energy. Well, we got the sign here
- 58:35Bitcoin uses as much energy as Austria.
- 58:37And I like that it's aligned because they will continuously
- 58:40erase it and add a new country in there that we should be
- 58:43afraid of. It's going to boil the ocean.
- 58:45Oh, and look, I didn't even know that with the next sign is
- 58:47Bitcoin will boil the oceans and crossed out Bitcoin, man.
- 58:53It's almost like bitcoiners are just right continuously and it's
- 58:56almost like we We have we have you know destroyed these Fudd
- 59:01lines in the past already, but hey, you know, I don't know,
- 59:05maybe I am just a Savage Bitcoin.
- 59:08ER and I'm just so far down the rabbit hole that I already know
- 59:10everything that they're going to say.
- 59:11Anyways, today's meme review score for me for myself.
