Latest / Simply Bitcoin / BREAKING: El Salvador Fully Embraces a Bitcoin Standard | EP 747
Transcript
- 0:12Yeah welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin live.
- 0:15Your number one source for the peaceful.
- 0:16Bitcoin Revolution recovery can use, coach romantic Warfare will
- 0:19be your guide through the separation of money and state
- 0:22and it's one of those episodes. We're going to talk about the
- 0:24separation of money in state. Say 15 was just brought on as an
- 0:31official economic advisor to be specific.
- 0:36He was just brought on as an economic advisor to the National
- 0:40Bitcoin. Office of El Salvador and I'd be
- 0:43like, okay that's noise as mean anything.
- 0:47Well it does mean something right because well at the end of
- 0:49the day say 15 is an economist but he's an Austrian Economist
- 0:55Austrian Economist but specifically an economist that
- 0:59supports Bitcoin, right? And nine.
- 1:02And saving talks about this all the time, most economists all
- 1:06around the world and what those schools also teach right is
- 1:10Kenzie and Makes Fiat economics right?
- 1:13And kind of feeds one feeds the other mouth, right?
- 1:16Like it's a it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy system.
- 1:20The system's incentivized to educate these types of
- 1:24economists, right? Because that's how the system
- 1:26survives. So, for the first time right in
- 1:30a very, very long time. I'll Salvador is trying
- 1:34something different, right? They're trying a different
- 1:38economic style an economic style.
- 1:40That's Based on sound money. And if you, you know, if you
- 1:45look at history, right, sound money tends to do very good
- 1:49things to economies and to countries and all that stuff.
- 1:53But it's an absolutely historical moment.
- 1:58And I can't believe we're here. I'm so excited for the next 5,
- 2:0110, 5, 10 years. I'm so excited for what is going
- 2:03to happen. El Salvador, I think it's going
- 2:05to blow everyone's Minds away and then also it starts to
- 2:10become Like all the other countries, that, you know, are
- 2:15on a Fiat standard or looking at Kenzie and economics.
- 2:19They're looking at this and they're looking at El Salvador
- 2:23and if they're not benefactors of the Fiat system, if they
- 2:27don't have, you know, the privilege of being able to just
- 2:30print money out of thin air like the US and the European
- 2:33countries and Switzerland. It's like a handful of countries
- 2:35that are able to do this. You know, they're going to start
- 2:38asking questions and remember there's a couple of countries
- 2:41Trees. That whether it's Ecuador,
- 2:44whether it's Panama there's like a handful of countries that
- 2:48don't even get to dictate their monetary policy because their
- 2:52dollarized. Like if you go to, if you go to
- 2:54Ecuador, they use dollars. They don't even use their own,
- 2:56local fiat currency, so they're not really incentivized, right?
- 3:00And this is part of the reason that I was Salvador made
- 3:02Bitcoin, legal tender, by the way, they are dollar eyes.
- 3:04They've been using the dollar for a while so they don't even
- 3:07get to dictate their monetary policy, right?
- 3:10So I suspect that One of the influences that not got nine
- 3:14buchelli to be like, okay we got to try something different
- 3:17right? So I think there's a historic
- 3:20moment. I can't say that enough.
- 3:22I got some tweets by Beauty on to emphasize that got some
- 3:25tweets by by other people as well and we're going to cover
- 3:28basically, you know what, a sound money standard would do
- 3:31two countries, we're going to get some, you know, some some
- 3:34some sauce from from safety and book as well, which I highly
- 3:38recommend if. And if you haven't read it which
- 3:40is the Bitcoins Standard. This is crazy.
- 3:42What a good day to be a Bitcoin. ER, it's almost as if we stay
- 3:46winning. Anyways, Opti, how you doing,
- 3:48bro? What's up?
- 3:49What's up, doing? Great bro.
- 3:51Absolutely wonderful today, on this beautiful day on planet
- 3:54Earth. Beginning corner, and just
- 3:57winning winning. It's almost like we just, we are
- 4:00not sharing in the bright orange future, right?
- 4:03It's almost like we're living through hyper big quantization.
- 4:06We surfing the wave of we surfing the.
- 4:09I feel like we're surfing the wave.
- 4:11Like this is not. Hey is this is hyper Bitcoin
- 4:14ization happening in real time. So lower your time preference
- 4:17out there because it is happening a lot quicker than we
- 4:20can even imagine. And what CK always say, we are
- 4:24not smart enough to be bullish enough on bitcoin.
- 4:27And I think this is what we're seeing happen in real time.
- 4:30So I don't know. I'm excited to get Nika Jones on
- 4:33the case. I know you're well rested.
- 4:34So I'm hoping that Nika Jones shows up today and we get a nice
- 4:39epic rant. Yeah.
- 4:41I'm excited. I'm excited.
- 4:42I'm really, really bullish. I can't look.
- 4:47Maybe this sounds corny. I personally, look, El Salvador
- 4:52for translated to English. Literally means the Savior and I
- 4:58just I don't think that's a coincidence.
- 4:59I think. What is happening?
- 5:01El Salvador, it's going to prove to the World on nation.
- 5:05State level. That not only is Bitcoin a
- 5:09viable alternative. To Fiat currencies but it's a
- 5:14better alternative and then on the public hunt company front,
- 5:18Michael sealer is proving that as well that Bitcoin, you know,
- 5:22is is it's not only, you know, an alternative to holding Fiat.
- 5:27It's just a better alternative and what are the implications?
- 5:31So that geopolitical implications, what are the
- 5:34implications in terms of the relationship between individuals
- 5:38and their governments? How that's going to change.
- 5:41And we We're just watching all this happened in slow motion.
- 5:45What a crazy crazy time to be alive.
- 5:47Anyways, I'll be waiting to cover during the culture, my
- 5:49friend. Well, we were supposed to have a
- 5:51guess here, but I don't know where he went today.
- 5:53So I pivoted and it's about the conversation we're having here
- 5:58today about we are witnessing hyper bit quantization.
- 6:00Right. Now, I do have a few tweets that
- 6:02we'll use as jump off point, but maybe we'll get a little
- 6:05conversation back and forth between Nico and I today.
- 6:08Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this.
- 6:10All right, everybody, no more. Delay.

- 6:55In the flesh in Miami, they're changing locations next year,

- 7:37SATs $4 3617. Block height is 790, 2125
- 7:43reachable, Bitcoin node 17 1096 blocks to having 47,000 875
- 7:49having estimate April, twenty, twenty twenty four total
- 7:52lightning network capacity 5353 Bitcoin capacity value 148
- 7:58million. U.s. dollars realized monetary
- 8:00inflation, rate is one point seven, six percent and the
- 8:03market capitalization of Bitcoin five hundred thirty six billion
- 8:08dollars with Abby. Anyways, so Luke shared this
- 8:13tweet. Not too long ago and I want to
- 8:16talk about it and, you know, we I say my phrase, Bitcoin or
- 8:21slavery. I tweeted out some mornings and
- 8:24I'm not being, I'm not exaggerating when I say that in
- 8:28the United States, right? We clearly know how the B
- 8:31Administration feels about Bitcoin.
- 8:33Whether it's operation chokepoint 2.0, or the Dame tax,
- 8:37which would basically put a 30 percent tax on all Bitcoin
- 8:40miners like ice basically, you know, just picking out the
- 8:43industry we've made. The case at the reason that
- 8:46they're doing that is not because of the environment as
- 8:48much as they tell you that it's because they want to be able to
- 8:51maintain that privilege. Keep that privilege of being
- 8:54able to create money for free that everyone else has to work
- 8:56for and what are their response to this, right?
- 9:00The response to it, whether you look at, you know, the future of
- 9:04money report that was written by the treasury in the eyes of the
- 9:09current Administration. The future of money to them is
- 9:12Central Bank, digital currencies, they And stable
- 9:15coins as well. Which they, of course, are going
- 9:17to mention that because they can coop them, right?
- 9:19Because they're centralized. And then, of course, payment
- 9:22platforms which are inherently intermediaries, which are very
- 9:25easily for them to capture some talking about pimp PayPal
- 9:28talking about venmo right, etc? Etc, but was not written, that
- 9:33report is Bitcoin in the eyes of the current government.
- 9:37Of course, it's not written in that report.
- 9:39And the reason for that is simple, There's no inflation
- 9:44Bitcoin, right? The end without inflation
- 9:49governments. Can't spend as much money as
- 9:51their spending now. Write that whole system kind of
- 9:53has to reinvent himself and I mean this was covered in the
- 9:58book. The sovereign individual highly
- 9:59recommend you read it, they predicted all of this said
- 10:03information Technologies is going to allow individuals to
- 10:06opt out of state currencies. Of course the state's going to
- 10:11fight back. So what is one at what?
- 10:13Is there mechanism of fighting back?
- 10:14Well, it's Central Bank digital currencies, right.
- 10:16And that's why I say Bitcoin or slavery Bitcoin is freedom and
- 10:20Central Bank, digital currencies is slavery and you're going to
- 10:23have to trust these people and mind.
- 10:25You remember what happened during the Canadian truckers
- 10:28protest? You're going to have to trust
- 10:30these people not to censor your money.
- 10:33Not to implement social Credit Systems like, is already
- 10:35happening in China, right? A, do you really trust after the
- 10:38last two or three years? Do you really trust these
- 10:41politicians not to do that? Um anyways, so here's like a
- 10:45quick update. It says, today in 2023, 105
- 10:48countries are racing to deploy a central bank, digital currency
- 10:52right. It goes on to say, we can see
- 10:55that of that of these 105 countries, 41% are currently in
- 11:00the research, phase 14% have a pilot program. 9% have a have
- 11:04launched a full-scale central bank, digital currency.
- 11:07Now where is the worst region in the world to be in?
- 11:09If you want to hide from Central Bank, digital currencies
- 11:12surprise Surprise, I think this could be the Caribbean islands
- 11:15hear me out. The Bahamas was the first
- 11:17country to launch a CBC in October 20, 20.
- 11:20Yes, that was even before China, but things are even more
- 11:23interesting. When we learn about something
- 11:25called D cache, the cache is this digital currency issued by
- 11:28the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank.
- 11:30It is used by seven of the eight countries under the EC Eastern,
- 11:35Caribbean, currency Union. These include Dominicana Grenada
- 11:39and St. Lucia, the next worst, the next
- 11:43His place to hide from CBC. Shouldn't surprise Asia.
- 11:46We can see in Southeast Asia. China, you know, we've heard the
- 11:50horror stories of China, which by the way I think the West is
- 11:54looking at China as a, as an example, right?
- 11:59That's what they want to go. That's where they want to go to
- 12:02imagine these bureaucrats and they're looking at trying to be
- 12:05like holy cow, we literally get to control people in China.
- 12:10If your social credit system is not High enough, they will
- 12:14literally not let you travel, you cannot get on a train.
- 12:17You have to scan your face before you get on subways and
- 12:21trains and whatever. So it's like they force, you
- 12:24take a forcing function for you to behave the way that the
- 12:27bureaucracy and the system wants you to behave that to me is
- 12:31terrifying. So apply this to what food you
- 12:33can eat. Oh, you're uh, you're you ate
- 12:36way too much steak, you know, in the last month?
- 12:40Sorry, social credit system going down.
- 12:42Sorry. Your CBD.
- 12:43See? Also, we've heard in China, that
- 12:46the idea that your money would have an expiration date as well,
- 12:49right? If you don't use your money by a
- 12:51certain date, it literally expires it forces you to spend,
- 12:55that is a central Bankers wet dream.
- 12:57That's, that's the world that they Envision, which is
- 13:00absolutely dystopian. And what is the alternative to
- 13:03this? They'll turn into this is
- 13:04Bitcoin, right? It has to be decentralized.
- 13:06It has to have rules without rulers.
- 13:08It has to have the ability to resist the government in,
- 13:12Evitable attempt to co-opt it and only Bitcoin.
- 13:16Because Bitcoins, the only one that's truly decentralized is
- 13:18the only one that is going to be able to resist governments in
- 13:23that front. So, Nigeria is the largest
- 13:25country in Africa and they were the first country in the region
- 13:28to introduce the CBC and 2022. They also bans, Bitcoin and even
- 13:32put withdrawal limits on bank accounts, attempting to convert
- 13:35deposits into the Central Bank. Digital currencies surprise,
- 13:39something surprising happened. Next Only point, 35 percent of
- 13:44Nigeria's, adopted, the government, mandated Central
- 13:46Bank, digital currency, the people flock to bitcoin as
- 13:49Nigeria. Currently has some of the
- 13:51highest levels of Bitcoin adoption in the world, will,
- 13:54will you be able to do the same as Nigeria and even escape to a
- 13:58country without a central bank? Digital currency and it tells
- 14:01you the adoption rate which we've covered.
- 14:03Now, the Nigerian example is really interesting, right, and
- 14:07the reason for that is, okay? So their proposal is Efficiency
- 14:12of payments, right? Central Bank, digital currencies
- 14:14are no are necessary because they make payments more
- 14:17efficient. If you live in the u.s. right,
- 14:20payments are already extremely efficient, you have Zell, you
- 14:23have PayPal, you have cash app. You have all these payment
- 14:27platforms that make pain, digitally, extremely easy.
- 14:30So you'd like, why do they need a central bank?
- 14:32Digital currency? Right.
- 14:34And that's how they sell it to you right there, like efficiency
- 14:37of payments, efficiency of payments.
- 14:38But the weak point the point where they Leave out, right?
- 14:43And they left this out of the report that the treasury wrote.
- 14:47They left this out. When in the presidential
- 14:49economic report that came out of the White House.
- 14:51They left this out as well, is that people are opting out of
- 14:55Central Bank, digital currencies not because you know, they're
- 15:00looking for more quote, unquote, efficient payments, right?
- 15:04I think that's a straw man argument.
- 15:06The reason that they're opting out of Central Bank, digital
- 15:09currencies is because they're opting out of it.
- 15:12Elation, it's about inflation. It's about their currency being
- 15:16devalue, dude, and they can't protect that, they can't defend
- 15:19that, that's an indefensible position especially now that
- 15:22there's an alternative that proves that.
- 15:25Now not only is inflation not necessary, your money could
- 15:30actually increase in purchasing power over time.
- 15:33So that is a point where we have to highlight it.
- 15:35We have to, we have to shine light on it because they can't
- 15:39defend it, right? We want to Get them to a point
- 15:43where they will admit and it's getting to this like mind.
- 15:46You heard what Brad Sherman said in a pretty viral video which we
- 15:51played you on simply Bitcoin, right?
- 15:52Which is like, you know, these crypto Bros, you're just
- 15:55creating money and you know they say that the u.s. government
- 15:59does the same and then Brad Sherman, you know, and his
- 16:01hubris, he says, but you know, but we can do that because we
- 16:06are the US government. Well, I got something very
- 16:09simple. I got a response, very simple
- 16:10for Brad Sherman. Right?
- 16:13I refuse to work for money that another man can create for free,
- 16:18even if you're the US government, I don't give a shit
- 16:20who you are. I refuse to work for your money
- 16:23that you can just create for free that everyone else has to
- 16:25work for, right? And that's the point, that's the
- 16:28reason why Nigerians are opting out.
- 16:31They're not opting out because they're seeking efficient
- 16:34payments. They're opting out because their
- 16:36state currency Continues to be the valued because governments
- 16:41are addicted to printing money and governments are addicted to
- 16:44spending money. They don't have right.
- 16:47You see this in Argentina, see this in Nigeria and the reason I
- 16:51say it's a weak point, the reason that I say it's an
- 16:54indefensible position on their end is because they don't bring
- 16:57it up, they don't bring up inflation, right?
- 17:00And this is why it's a tied in with two tied in, with today's
- 17:06news, today's headline news, it is so historical that El
- 17:10Salvador is making safe, inning, the author of the Bitcoin
- 17:14standard, an Austrian Economist and economic adviser to the
- 17:19country. That's why it's so historic.
- 17:22That's why the IMF freaked out the way they did with El
- 17:26Salvador. That's why in the US the US
- 17:29House of Representatives or I think it was the Senate, they
- 17:32passed the resolution basically looking into El Salvador making
- 17:38bit. Legal tender.
- 17:39It freaks them the hell out because if enough people wake up
- 17:44to this new world, this new reality that hey, you as an
- 17:48individual, get to pick and choose what currency you want to
- 17:52use. The government doesn't force it
- 17:54upon you. It changes a lot of the power
- 17:57structures and of course the old Power structures.
- 18:00Want to fight back and you have Tucson.
- 18:02Bitcoin shout-out. Kaboom inflation is good for
- 18:06you. Quit complaining.
- 18:08And being a snowflake, you Millennial, stop living in your
- 18:10mom's basement. When I was a kid, we didn't have
- 18:13inflation beautiful, beautiful, very well said Tucson.
- 18:17Anyways, Opti, am I being too crazy?
- 18:19Am I speaking too much truth? What's going on bro?
- 18:23Well no I mean hey I'm a big Corner as well.
- 18:26And I endorse everything you just said I mean the Nigeria
- 18:32news of the CBC we've been covering this for a while is one
- 18:35of the things that make me is just so bullish on Humanity.
- 18:38Is something that we say all the time on the show, when people
- 18:41are giving the, the option, the clear option of using a money
- 18:45that is designed to steal from them or one that retains their
- 18:48value. And as the saying goes, goes up
- 18:51forever, Laura humans, obviously choose a money that isn't
- 18:55designed to Rob them. And this is the world that I
- 18:58want to live in. You know, the current world that
- 19:01we find ourselves in that everyone finds themselves in.
- 19:04That is, obviously, most people unaware of the fact that they
- 19:08Are being stolen from via their paper money is a world that is
- 19:12designed to steal and siphon value from you without, you
- 19:15understanding it without your consent.
- 19:17And that's why we find ourselves in the state that we are in the
- 19:22world today, and just imagine a world that doesn't have
- 19:25kleptocrat. Excite, Go pass, stealing your
- 19:27value. It would be a beautiful world.
- 19:30You'd be able to, you know, fund and put your value where you
- 19:34think it should go. Instead of you know, basically
- 19:37have Some of that value taken away for things that you
- 19:40probably don't agree on. So I mean, going back to that
- 19:44Luke thread, what do you say? 105 countries are working on
- 19:47cdc's. That's 105 out of 195 countries
- 19:52in the world. That is almost every country in
- 19:54the world wants to retain or rather steal your value or
- 19:58rather involuntarily have non-consensual theft from you.
- 20:04I don't know about you but this is not the world I want to live
- 20:07in. This is not A fair world.
- 20:09This is why as bitcoiners we always tell you guys, that
- 20:12Bitcoin is the best money in the world, because it is the most
- 20:15Fair, the most inclusive money in the world and I was kind of
- 20:18thinking while we were going through that thread, there's a
- 20:20lot of big Corners that say, like ICBC won't happen.
- 20:24And while I kind of agree because it would destroy like,
- 20:27the commercial Banks as more events says, it seems like there
- 20:31is a worldwide move towards a CDC and what do we say?
- 20:38Here all the time it is Bitcoin or slavery.
- 20:40It's almost like the powers that be think of you as slaves.
- 20:44Little peasant. You know, as soon as Tucson was
- 20:46saying there was no no inflation in my day, quit complaining
- 20:50about it. How is this the status quo of
- 20:53the world today? Where all the money's of the
- 20:56world? Where all of humanity is
- 20:58corralled into a money that is designed to steal from us?
- 21:01It's absolutely ludicrous. This is, this is the experiment.
- 21:04This is the exception to the norm.
- 21:06We've only had paper money for what About 100 years and now it
- 21:09is a global phenomenon. And this is what Bitcoin fixes.
- 21:13What do we say all the time? Or what's the Bitcoin meme, fix
- 21:16the money fix the world? This is where everything is
- 21:18starting from. It is from a broken money.
- 21:21And this is why we are seeing so much pain.
- 21:23On the social level on a cultural level.
- 21:25This is why we have devolved as a society is because there's a

- 24:06Take the time to go through them and answer them.
- 24:09Anyways here's the big news for today.
- 24:12So this is a historic moment I touched upon it in the very
- 24:16beginning in the opening monologue of the show, this is a
- 24:21Divergence from how most countries look at their economy,
- 24:28right? They inherently the system is
- 24:32inherently biased towards Kensington economics towards
- 24:36towards Kenzie and economists. This is II can't remember
- 24:43another time where, you know, a hardcore not even just, you
- 24:47know, like it, an Austrian economy, know, a hardcore
- 24:50Austrian Economist is brought in to be the advisor of a country,
- 24:57because is a fundamental shift. It is complete change from how
- 25:04most countries view it today. Historic moment here is a
- 25:10torture Eat from the Bitcoin office, when the author of the
- 25:13Bitcoin standard met, the leader of Bitcoin country, nine
- 25:16bouquet, and say 15, great things are bound to happen.
- 25:19We are excited to announce that say 15 is joining us as economic
- 25:23advisor to the National Bitcoin office of El Salvador.
- 25:26Welcome to the winning team dr. Ramos right.
- 25:30And here's a picture of nine book, a lie and say 15 years.
- 25:33Beauty on Beauty on is the founder of a stego big fan of
- 25:38the cover of the company. They're doing great.
- 25:40At things. And he goes on to say there will
- 25:42not be enough gold to pave. The Streets of San Salvador.
- 25:46Such will be the winner of that great country.
- 25:48It's like a dream, astonishing goes on to say in case you don't
- 25:52know what this means for the professor say fitting a moose,
- 25:56Austrian School Economist, the only economists who understand
- 25:59money and the very rare example of an Austrian School Economist,
- 26:03who also understands Bitcoin will now be advising El Salvador
- 26:07where Bitcoin is legal tender. This means the possibility.
- 26:10Of mistakes being made by El Salvador, Archer drastically
- 26:14reduced because literally the best economic mind and Bitcoin
- 26:17is working for them. Directly.
- 26:19If you imagined a Dream Team like this and spoke the words,
- 26:23you you would have been called delusional but it's real.
- 26:26Also, Baron also and bear in mind also that the history of
- 26:30Fiat and economics, safety team will bring to the table will
- 26:33greatly help El Salvador, avoid other mistakes, and other parts
- 26:37of the economy further accelerating hyper growth.
- 26:40Across the entire country. 100%, Stacey Max our historic figures
- 26:45shocking. And you know what, I completely
- 26:49agree. I couldn't have said it better
- 26:50myself and that's why it's such a historic moment.
- 26:53This is a historic moment. This is going away from the
- 26:58status quo, most countries including the United States,
- 27:03they have they they're big Believers in the candy and
- 27:06model. Now he is another reason it's
- 27:09such a big deal. Here's a key idea from the
- 27:12Bitcoin standard. It goes on to say, sound money
- 27:16is the basis for a functioning economy.
- 27:18Sound money reached its high water.
- 27:20Mark in the 19th century, paper money was backed by gold.
- 27:23A precious metal adopted by the free market due to the
- 27:25qualities. That made it such an effective
- 27:27store of value that intern under wrote an era of prosperity.
- 27:32Let's take a closer look at how that worked.
- 27:34The first thing to note about sound money is that it's a great
- 27:37way of encouraging people to save and invest the perfect
- 27:40recipe for sustainable long-term growth.
- 27:43Why? Well, humans have a natural
- 27:45positive time preference. We prefer instant gratification
- 27:48over future gratification sound money, nudges us to think more
- 27:52about the future. After all, if we can reasonably
- 27:55expect, our money's value to increase over time, it makes
- 27:58sense to take a look at what we can do now to maximize our
- 28:01future income and that's what investments, and that's what
- 28:05investments, all about postponing gratification to
- 28:08today to reap. Later been a rewards tomorrow
- 28:12investment thus leads to capital, accumulation People
- 28:15pump up, money into producing capital goods.
- 28:18Commodities that can be used to create other goods and revenue
- 28:21streams in the future. And the more capital
- 28:23accumulation, accumulation there is the greater the chance of
- 28:26stable long-term economic growth.
- 28:28The problem with unsound money is that it distorts capital
- 28:32accumulation. The reason for this is simple,
- 28:34when governments interfere with the money supply by say
- 28:38manipulating interest rates. Are also into they also
- 28:41interfere with prices that's an issue because prices give
- 28:44investors that information. They need to make good decisions
- 28:47without having to learn every tiny detail about global events.
- 28:51If a Malaysian business woman decides against expanding her
- 28:54offices because the cost of copper wiring has skyrocketed,
- 28:58she doesn't need to know what the price spike is due to a
- 29:01recent earthquake in Chile, the price tells her everything she
- 29:04needs to know, government intervention, however, means
- 29:07that prices no longer reflect. Market movements investors don't
- 29:12have the information they need thus distorting capital
- 29:16accumulation. Now look you could say the Nico.
- 29:21That is a theory, you could say, Nico you know, fine say fitting
- 29:26is there. Bullish treat by Beauty on but
- 29:29this hasn't happened yet, you're a fucking crazy person.
- 29:32You know, you're talking crap, fine.
- 29:35You could totally say that you can totally say, I don't trust
- 29:38name, bouquet l.a., you know. He has dictatorial Tendencies, I
- 29:42don't get what's going on there. I fundamentally agree with that.
- 29:44I'm a huge fan of what named Kelly has done for two reasons.
- 29:47He has dramatically lowered, the crime rates, at historic lows.
- 29:51That is a proven fact, you can't deny that, and he's doing
- 29:54wonders for the economy. You cannot deny that either, you
- 29:57can't deny those to think, but you could say, Okay, Nico, it's
- 30:00been too too late, spin, too short to tell fine.
- 30:03You could say that as well. I've been living on a Bitcoin
- 30:06standard for seven years, Opti has been living A Bitcoin
- 30:10standard for a while now as well and I could tell you what it's
- 30:14done to my life. I could tell you what it's done
- 30:18to the people around me that have adopted a Bitcoin standard,
- 30:21all the things that say 15 just said, right there about the
- 30:24delayed gratification, that's the key word, right?
- 30:26The keywords delayed gratification, well obviously,
- 30:30you're going to delay gratification because, you know,
- 30:32if you spend your money, now, it could potentially be worth more
- 30:36in the future. So, all of a sudden you're very,
- 30:38very choosy on. What you choose to spend your
- 30:41money on and we live in a world where you're not only
- 30:46incentivize not to delay gratification your incentivised
- 30:50to spend in the moment because you know, your money is losing
- 30:56purchasing power over time. And what they want to do with
- 31:00Central Bank, digital currencies is even worse.
- 31:02They want to add an expiration date.
- 31:04So it's not even inflation rate there.
- 31:05They're being more open about it.
- 31:07They're telling you the quiet part out loud.
- 31:09It's like it's not even, Inflation that we want.
- 31:11No it dis shit fucking expires on you, bro.
- 31:14Okay, and then what is the opposite?
- 31:17The opposite is Bitcoin. And this is exactly, this is
- 31:20precisely why I say Bitcoin or slavery.
- 31:24This is you see the slave world that they want 103.
- 31:28Countries are pushing this. And then you have The Shining
- 31:32Light, The Shining country, on the hill, the Savior, which is,
- 31:37El Salvador proving proving, once again by bringing say 15
- 31:42into the fold there, they're going to try another way.
- 31:46And as bitcoiners can say this, because it hasn't happened yet
- 31:50but I could speak for what it's done to my life.
- 31:52What, what my life, how my life has gotten better?
- 31:55Since I have individually adopted a sound money standard
- 31:59if what has happened to me, on an individual level happens on a
- 32:03country level, I can't even describe to you, what that's
- 32:06like, And that's why Beauty on is saying the things that he's
- 32:10saying, that's why you have Michael Sailors.
- 32:12So passionately, talking about this thing, Michael sailor on a
- 32:16public company level name buchelli on a country level and
- 32:20remembered those. They those two gentlemen,
- 32:24Michael sailor is the beachhead, the beachfront, the Vanguard For
- 32:30proving on a public on a public company level that Bitcoin is a
- 32:34viable alternative to holding Fiat and a Country Wide level 9
- 32:39bouquet is proving that as well. And what a crazy time to be
- 32:43alive and I'm telling you that next having next cycle that we
- 32:47go through, there's going to be other public companies, there's
- 32:50gonna be other countries. They're going to look at.
- 32:52They're going to be looking. They're going to start breaking
- 32:54ranks. You know the rats are going to
- 32:56start fleeing the shit. They're going to start looking
- 32:58to sides. Like yeah, you know what?
- 33:00Like it doesn't kind of make sense like we did, you know,
- 33:04like I get you IMF, I get you world economic Forum like, you
- 33:09know, like you guys have a lot of power.
- 33:11And influence and I get you. But like this Bitcoin thing
- 33:15looks dope and it's gonna help me.
- 33:17And, and you're gonna start seeing the Brent, the ranks
- 33:20break. And you're already seeing this
- 33:21on a Grassroots level, you're already seeing this in
- 33:25Argentina, you're seeing this in Nigeria, you're not seeing on a
- 33:28conch on the government level, but you're seeing it on the most
- 33:31important level, which is the Grassroots level.
- 33:33You're seeing it on the individuals level, there are
- 33:36breaking ranks are saying yo, fuck your Fiat money like this.
- 33:41Not work for me. I'm dealing with double-digit
- 33:44inflation, and you're trying to force me into using this
- 33:48currency. Are you really a government by
- 33:50the people for the people like, is this is this what democracy
- 33:54is meant out to be? Are you really working for me,
- 33:58or you working for yourself, and this kind of ties back into
- 34:01Bitcoin exposes all incentives. It's one of the one of and I
- 34:05said this at, thank God for Bitcoin and my fireside chat
- 34:08with gladstein. I said, in the opening, the
- 34:10opening monologue. Log that I had one of my one of
- 34:13Bitcoin, one of one of my favorite features of Bitcoin
- 34:16that out here. A lot enough people talk about
- 34:18is that it exposes incentives. It doesn't matter whether it's a
- 34:22government or a country, or an individual.
- 34:25It exposes what you really about.
- 34:30Wow, man, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful news today, I'm so
- 34:34hyped about this and I'm looking forward for the having party
- 34:40having parties. Shout out to the I mean Factory.
- 34:42Shout out to Big Sean. Shout out to Greg zag and all,
- 34:45you know, all our boys over there yellow as well.
- 34:48Yeah, this is, dude, this is hope.
- 34:51This is what Cory is talking about when he talks about the
- 34:54bright orange future, man, they this is in this world of
- 34:58Darkness that we're all living through right now.
- 35:00We're all living through it. We see it.
- 35:02We see the clown world, we see these shipbreaking, see, people
- 35:05just going into stores and just fucking stealing shit and then
- 35:09you see, you know, the the authorities just Doing nothing
- 35:12will. That's because theft has been
- 35:13fucking normalized. It's been normalized.
- 35:17We live in a society where theft is, is just given the stamp of
- 35:20approval and then Bitcoin says, no, no things don't have to be
- 35:26that way. And I think whatever, whichever
- 35:30which way you decide to describe them whether its monetary demons
- 35:34unproductive class, high-level parasites.
- 35:37Like Opti says it, of course, you're not going to be happy
- 35:40about this. Of course, not going to be happy
- 35:42about this, you know? They've they've benefited from
- 35:45that money printer for way too long, but man, have I never been
- 35:51as bullish on the future than I am today after seeing that
- 35:55historic, historic picture would say feed and the president of El
- 36:01Salvador 9 buchelli, Opti. What are your thoughts?
- 36:04Yeah, man, love that we did get an Eco Jones rent today.
- 36:07Anyways, first and foremost, I want to give a shout out to
- 36:10Beauty on. I love beauty on twerk.
- 36:12I know a lot of people give him. Give him crap on Twitter, but I
- 36:16think he's a very sober and level-headed Bitcoin her on
- 36:20Twitter. Well, actually, maybe not on
- 36:22Twitter, but in real life. Anyways, the next one.
- 36:25Next one is, as cliche as it sounds, the Bitcoin standard
- 36:29legitimately changed my life. There's few books in the world
- 36:32that I would say, have changed my life and that was one of
- 36:34those. And I know we get called cult
- 36:36members all the time, but hey, if we are cold, this is a must
- 36:40reading. It is the big Point standard, if
- 36:42you haven't read the Bitcoin standard by now, you should read
- 36:44it and, or reread it, and as an American it is, it's all it
- 36:51almost seems like. The u.s. can learn a lot from
- 36:54what buchelli in El Salvador is doing.
- 36:56They're gonna be like, dude, they're gonna be, they're gonna
- 37:01be last, he's just like it. And we talked about about this
- 37:05yesterday, Opti, they're going to be like, look, I got a doubt.
- 37:09We're pushing hard like, opting, I You know, we live here, we're
- 37:12going to fight you know, color within the lines of course.
- 37:17But you know, the US government gets so much power and influence
- 37:27from being able to create money that.
- 37:31Yeah I just dude like I just I see them fighting tooth and nail
- 37:38to protect that and that's what they've done so far.
- 37:41I don't even think it's gotten that bad yet.
- 37:43I don't think so either. And I think all of us bitcoiners
- 37:46are very aware that and one of my friends, Mike Hobart says all
- 37:49the time. He's been on the show, you guys
- 37:50have seen him before he's like dude the pain is going to get so
- 37:53much worse and I think we need to prepare for that but I also
- 37:56being hopeful and optimistic as I am, I do feel like there is
- 38:01you know, the Winds of Change in the political sphere.
- 38:03It does seem like we are getting some lip service in regards to
- 38:06freedom and how the US government is being angry.
- 38:11Gold as tyrannical and authoritarian.
- 38:13But man, let's get back on subject here, like shuts out to
- 38:16be Kelly. He's got huge.
- 38:17Cojones, you know, I know people push back against buchelli, a
- 38:20lot, there's a he, you know, I before, I get claim to be a
- 38:23status, you know? Hey, I think it is undeniable at
- 38:28this point that Bitcoin has improved El.
- 38:31Salvador, that buchelli has improved El Salvador, and and I
- 38:34won't ever claimed as a privilege Westerner to
- 38:37pontificate on what El Salvador should be doing to better their
- 38:40country. I am I have no idea what it
- 38:43takes to turn that Titanic around, but it seems from what
- 38:47I've seen that the people of El, Salvador, love buchelli, they
- 38:51love the fact that their country is improving.
- 38:54And I'm just over here watching. And from what I'm seeing, man,
- 38:57it's what we say, all the time Bitcoin is being validated on a
- 39:00nation state level. And it's almost like Bitcoin
- 39:04works, and betters people's lives and you just love to see
- 39:06it. We say it all the time, Niko
- 39:08just mentioned it. We are on the Bitcoin standard
- 39:10an hour. Lives have been proved and if it
- 39:12can happen for us and I know for a fact if people follow the
- 39:16blueprint of stay humble Stacks at then their lives will also
- 39:20improve. And what's the saying you know,
- 39:23it's easy to hear the the blueprint but it's a lot harder
- 39:27to follow through on the action of behind just staying humble.
- 39:31Stacking set saving in Bitcoin taking Bitcoin into self
- 39:34custody. Yes we are still in the early
- 39:37adoption phase. In my opinion, we are still
- 39:39early as far as I'm concerned. And there is a learning curve.
- 39:43So shout out to all of you who are taking the initiative,
- 39:46putting in the work, and Uncle gyming, your friends and
- 39:49families and also just dispensing orange pills out
- 39:53there for everyone. Because hey, I say it all the
- 39:56time and I'm probably a broken record at this point but we know
- 40:00what the problem is guys. Every every talking head, every
- 40:04political talking head from both sides of the aisle, every
- 40:07independent content creator that is you know on One hand just
- 40:12Loosely related to the political realm knows the problem.
- 40:16It is the money printer. We always talk about this, it's
- 40:19not a left or a right, it is an orange Versa, green.
- 40:22We all know that the fact that they have the money printer, the
- 40:25fact that inflation is stealing our well, this is the problem.
- 40:28Well, el Salvadorans is continuing to prove that if you
- 40:31get on a Bitcoin standard, your country will improve shouts out
- 40:35to say 15 for for being an economic advisor because I can

- 43:51Anyways, Opti. What are we talking about today,
- 43:53brother? All right, so I was going to
- 43:56save this one for when we didn't have a guess.
- 43:58But hey, you know I think it's perfect for today.
- 44:01I saw this tweet by CK, shouts out to seek a.
- 44:04He might be one of the most bullish bitcoiners on Twitter
- 44:08and that's saying something that you're not bullish enough.
- 44:11Hey, I am bull tarded AF. I think anyone that knows me
- 44:15knows that I stay bullish. Single day in specially when the
- 44:19price is going down, that's even when I get more bullish.
- 44:22But anyways, this tweet right here, I think is fitting
- 44:26considering what we covered in the first part in the numbers
- 44:29and then also in the news. So we got CK starts here and
- 44:31goes, we are living in hyper, big quantization.
- 44:34And it started when Satoshi started Mining and what do
- 44:37bitcoiners always say, there's never been a bear Market since
- 44:402009 since the beginning of Bitcoin because this is what
- 44:44Bitcoin adoption looks like. This is what it looks like when
- 44:47a new New commodity a new money becomes monetized in real time.
- 44:52This is what Bitcoin taking over the world looks like.
- 44:56Yes. There is some volatility.
- 44:58Yes there is ups and downs. But what do we always say here?
- 45:02And let me see if I have it right here for you guys right
- 45:05quick because it is fitting. It's going up, Forever War.
- 45:09We all know number is going up and this is hyper bit
- 45:12quantization. Whether it is, you know, sailor
- 45:15putting his company on a Bitcoin standard whether it Kelly
- 45:18putting a nation on a Bitcoin standard, whether it's all of
- 45:21you guys joining the Bitcoin standard for your own personal
- 45:25finances. This is hyper Bitcoin ization,
- 45:28and I think I said it in the beginning of the week or rather.
- 45:30I said it last week when we were in Miami Nico and I had this
- 45:34conversation with BTC sessions AK Ben, Ben Sessions and we all
- 45:41kind of realize one thing. And it's the idea I think we all
- 45:45need to zoom out a little bit at times I I know we say in the
- 45:49Bitcoin space lower your time preference, but I think it is
- 45:53fitting and sometimes we have to remind ourselves that this this
- 45:56is happening so incredibly fast the Bitcoin space moves, so
- 45:59incredibly fast, we always say it every year, the same thing
- 46:02like Bitcoin time happens like so much happens in one Bitcoin
- 46:06year that you forget what time is your just like okay I
- 46:10jokingly say it every single day on space is like the only time
- 46:12that matters is block height but the point of this is like I
- 46:18think we're going to be doing this for a lot longer than we
- 46:20really understand. And I had this conversations all
- 46:23the time with my Bitcoin friends and it's like, I'm convinced
- 46:26that I'm going to be doing this for like the rest of my life.
- 46:29Maybe it's not on, simply Bitcoin because we turn into
- 46:32simply lifestyle at that point. But I am convinced that this
- 46:36Bitcoin experiment that we are part of is going to take the
- 46:40rest of our lives. I don't think we are ever going
- 46:43to see the end of this. I think it's going to be a slow
- 46:46trickle of hyper bit. When ization, but this is what
- 46:49it looks like. And it makes me think a lot of
- 46:52my friends and without getting into a bunch of different
- 46:56Alternatives of what you should be saving.
- 46:58And, you know, some people say gold.
- 46:59Some people say, stocks the main one, I usually get is real
- 47:03estate. So before I get there for you
- 47:05guys in audio, I have this, this meme, of course, I add memes to
- 47:08my bit all the time, because, hey, tweet to the bullets, mean
- 47:11to their chili. Anyways, this is a mean by the
- 47:14Bitcoin conference, good people who don't understand Bitcoin yet
- 47:16is the same. As number goes up, it hits a
- 47:20bubble quote-unquote and it goes, oh I'll buy it when it
- 47:23dips and then it goes lower and then they go oh, I will buy it
- 47:25when it goes lower and this is just going to happen until
- 47:29Infinity. Anyways, everyone Will Follow by
- 47:33into a but I really like this tweet right here from Bitcoin
- 47:35therapist. He actually quote tweeted this
- 47:37guy Brandon and go spot on analysis.
- 47:39I'd rather stack Bitcoin, then service the debt on a home.
- 47:42And the reason I wanted to get to this point is because I know
- 47:45a lot of people in my position Nico and I, you know, we Rent.
- 47:48As much as we want to buy a house, I am convinced I'll
- 47:52probably rent for a little bit but to you guys out there that
- 47:54are thinking, oh maybe I can just slip this Bitcoin into a
- 47:57house or maybe I should buy into a house or whatever.
- 48:00I think this is a mistake that a lot of us young people find
- 48:03ourselves in and if you're older and you have a house like
- 48:06congrats you should own a home. That's an asset that you should
- 48:10have, but I like this and I try to speak to people of my age.
- 48:14I try to speak to my peers because we are the millennial
- 48:17class. And our future has been stolen
- 48:19from us. What do we say?
- 48:20Nico all the time? Millennials are the brokest
- 48:23Generations. So but like hold on a second.
- 48:25So like and that is a very strong tweet, I know I'm coming.
- 48:31I'm coming hard here, I'm coming in hard.
- 48:35Why don't you read it? Let me read it.
- 48:36All right, so this is a Brandon, goes worst mistake.
- 48:38A young dude can make is buying a house while earning an average
- 48:41salary solidifying, your spot as a wage cut for the next two
- 48:45decades. Can't even go on a trip without
- 48:47stressing because you got a mortgage to pay off that verse.
- 48:49There's means you into down astronomically, okay?
- 48:52What the case is. All right, let's talk about,
- 48:56let's talk about it. Let's talk about that, right?
- 48:58And I agree stack the coin instead, so but let's talk about
- 49:01it. So, so if you are older, you are
- 49:06able to afford real estate without having to do this.
- 49:09This is a, this is a, this is a phenomenon that really affects
- 49:15the millennial generation, the Zoomer generation, Um, we got
- 49:19screwed in the last two years alone, real estate prices have
- 49:24doubled, and the reason for that is the money printing, money
- 49:27printing makes asset prices, go higher with, it's the stock
- 49:30market, or that's real estate. And the vast majority of the
- 49:35younger generation, whether it's Zoomers, the Millennials, you
- 49:38don't have savings, your savings are in dollars and you're
- 49:41earning and dollars, right? So, you know, I don't want to
- 49:46give real estate advice A lot of people take pride and owning a
- 49:49home and, you know, I totally respect that and that's, you
- 49:52know, a decision. But, you know, I think that a
- 49:58lot of bitcoiners say this, I think real estate has been
- 50:02tremendously overvalued because people are just trying to
- 50:06maintain their savings and they're using real, a real
- 50:08estate as a mechanism to do that.
- 50:11Where it was never really meant to do that.
- 50:14Like it was never met to it was never To be a savings mechanism,
- 50:21like a house was meant to be a house, right?
- 50:23But like, you know, if you are like a wealthy individual, let's
- 50:27say you're a plumber or you're a dentist and you make good money,
- 50:31right? You're forced to be a part-time
- 50:34investor. Just to maintain your savings,
- 50:36right? So like let's say you make 250k
- 50:40500k years, a lot of money, right?
- 50:43You know, I spend all that money.
- 50:44So what are you gonna do with the with your savings, right?
- 50:46You can't keep it in dollars. Yes, this is losing what, you
- 50:49know, at the peak it was if you believe the government numbers,
- 50:52but we know it's a lot higher than that, you know, eight
- 50:55percent inflation, nine percent inflation.
- 50:57Right. So you can't keep it in dollars.
- 50:58So what are you gonna do with that extra savings?
- 51:00That you take home every month right?
- 51:02You have to invest it. So you're forced to become a
- 51:05part-time investor or even worse Outsource that responsibility
- 51:10to, you know, one of the wealth management Banks like you know
- 51:12Goldman Sachs or whatever JP Morgan or right, what do you
- 51:17what do you? Also, do you put your money in
- 51:20real estate, right? As a savings mechanism, but
- 51:23that's crazy. Like, think about how absurd
- 51:25that sounds just to maintain your purchasing power, you're
- 51:29forced to invest that is absurd. Well bitcoiners are saying it's
- 51:35very simple. Just keep your money.
- 51:39Don't do anything. Just just, just keep your money.
- 51:41You don't have to, you don't have to read invest in real
- 51:44estate or invest in the stock and do research and like, should
- 51:46I buy Apple now? Should I buy Google?
- 51:48What are their earnings? You have to fucking learn that
- 51:50shit or just buy Bitcoin and you take it into self.
- 51:55Custody, you forget about it, kind of changes.
- 51:57The whole dynamic changes, the whole system, it up, it
- 52:00completely uproot It. Anyways, Opti, I just want to
- 52:03jump in there. That was a perfect.
- 52:05That was a hard Lord, sweet, my friend.
- 52:07I know that's why I'm gonna I'm gonna jump off some of these
- 52:11comments in here because they're hitting it right on point and I
- 52:14think they get what I'm saying. First one shout out to my boy a
- 52:18Miami girl rejected by wine but recommended for Opti here at
- 52:25some point you can't stack SATs and have to live your life.
- 52:28This is the Bitcoin struggle for real.
- 52:30For real No Cap, no cap. And then this next one by
- 52:32narwhal tacos and and this is pretty much the Crux of the
- 52:35situation. Again, I say this, all the
- 52:37There's levels to this, obviously, this is not
- 52:40one-size-fits-all tailor-made for every single person.
- 52:44We understand that we have a different demographic here on
- 52:46our show, we have its it ranges from people like us, you know, I
- 52:51am I am literally the millennial single Millennial that Gnar was
- 52:55talking about here is like this is an argument.
- 52:56That is really going to separate the single males from the
- 52:59long-term relationship males. I agree if you guys are, are the
- 53:04older bitcoiners, you know, the the Jen, what's it?
- 53:07Gen X and Boomers. By all means, I'm not telling
- 53:10you to sell your house, not telling you to sell your chairs
- 53:12and all this, like, I want a house, bro.
- 53:16I want to, I want the white picket fence dream as well, but
- 53:19I'm speaking to the young Millennials out there, the
- 53:22Zoomers out there that are wondering, what should be their
- 53:25best way moving forward? And obviously owning a house is
- 53:30great. I definitely highly recommend
- 53:32it, but it is becoming very obvious that the status quo
- 53:37Investment decisions of the past which is basically what what the
- 53:4260/40 20 whatever portfolio. A lot of people are still saying
- 53:47that the only way to move forward in life is by investing
- 53:50in real estate. And I realized this tweet right
- 53:52here by Bushmaster, he or this comment, I think he hits the
- 53:55nail on the head. He goes real estate.
- 53:57Today is higher risk and insurance on the same.
- 53:59It's a liability, not an asset anymore by to live in, but not
- 54:02to see it as an investment or saving mechanism.
- 54:04And I'm seeing this happen all the time by friends.
- 54:07And family, it's the idea that maybe I should hold, I should
- 54:11buy a house and it's like bro, if you have the money to buy a
- 54:13house, by all means do it. But most of the people that I
- 54:16interact with, they do not have that much.
- 54:18They just have, you know, the living paycheck to paycheck and
- 54:21hence I know I try to avoid putting the charts here on the
- 54:24show as much, but it's going up forever, Laura.
- 54:27You just need a hot on the Bitcoin die.
- 54:29I need to find it. But you guys already know the
- 54:32dealing up forever lore. And if you, if you haven't seen
- 54:36it yet, he was dead serious. Seriously, if you haven't seen
- 54:39it yet then you know I'm going to do whatever.
- 54:43I can to try to wake up more friends because I really like
- 54:45just tweet from my boyfriend and he did this yesterday on
- 54:48Memorial Day. Or yeah, yes, or the day.
- 54:51Before Memorial Day in, he goes, I believe we have a duty to
- 54:53spread peace through Bitcoin, All Around the World As
- 54:56Americans and as citizens of the world and anyone with any type
- 54:59of privilege in live, what did you do for the world?
- 55:02And I think this is the Crux of the situation I think Bitcoin is
- 55:07The most important, Freedom technology in the world right
- 55:10now. I think it's the most important
- 55:11thing. Any of us can be talking about
- 55:13that can be spreading and I just do not want to see more of my
- 55:18friends wreck themselves. I want to see them free.
- 55:21I want to see them build something that they are proud of
- 55:24and yes hey if you got in real estate and you made double your
- 55:28money than the last couple of years, I have a few Bitcoin and
- 55:30friends that are telling us system.
- 55:32Like, man, shouts out to you, bro.
- 55:33You bought it at the bottom. Let's go.
- 55:36If people don't have this opportunity now and this is why
- 55:39I'm saying I'm very convinced, we're moving into a bull run and
- 55:42I think this is the safest and best time to be holding me
- 55:45cleaner speculate every single day.
- 55:49Hey hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Snow's.
- 55:54All of life is speculation but we are not gamblers.
- 55:58You speculate on every single decision you've ever made in
- 56:01your life whether that's walking across the street.
- 56:03Whether that is, you know what your Works going to do.
- 56:06Other that is Bitcoin going up whether your investment is
- 56:09correct or not, everything is speculation, and this is just
- 56:13simple, Austrian economics, I believe humans act purposefully
- 56:18and sometimes you have to speculate on where humans are
- 56:21going, and this is what we're doing right now.
- 56:23Are we moving into a bright orange creature?
- 56:25I believe so I am speculating on this Nico.
- 56:28This is not tight Tea Leaf Tea a okay, okay, I respect that.
- 56:33Anyways, before we move on to the meme review, I To end the
- 56:37poll that we started with the ball is inflation theft.
- 56:42We had a hundred and twenty two votes, 96 percent said, yes and
- 56:473%. Which I'm so curious, I want to
- 56:51know who those. I want to know who those people
- 56:53are three percent out of the hundred and twenty twenty out of
- 56:57the hundred and twenty twenty vote vote said, inflation is not
- 57:01theft. I suspect opt he's ex-girlfriend
- 57:04is watching the show. It's in the chat can.
- 57:07And she got her friends to basically vote.
- 57:11No. So I don't know what you did to
- 57:14Christine Lagarde. Put a Opti, definitely broke her
- 57:16heart somehow and Central Bank, digital currencies are her
- 57:20revenge against Opti. So you guys heard it here.
- 57:24First, Opti is at fault for causing Central Bank, digital
- 57:28currencies, because he broke Christine lagarde's heart.
- 57:32Anyways, everybody somehow some way this is obvious fault.
- 57:35It is up these fault anyway. Is everybody, let's get to the
- 57:37mean review. We got we got some memes to
- 57:39review. Let's check it out.
- 57:43The daily meme review brought to you by Kaboom racks.
- 57:47I get this question all the time.
- 57:48Nico. Where should I buy Bitcoin?
- 57:50Miners to answer is Kaboom racks.

- 58:15That was fun, bro. That was fun.
- 58:18You already know the deal. Kaboom Max, this is the name of
- 58:22you. Continue to tag Us in memes on
- 58:24Twitter continued to send us the memes in our telegram group.
- 58:28I do my best to try to try to get as many as possible.
- 58:31Obviously, I can't get to all of them and I do try to craft a
- 58:36little narrative in the meme review as well, but to wait till
- 58:39the bullets memes are the artillery we are obviously in an
- 58:42information war and you need to continue to spread the signal
- 58:46get the calls of actions out there.
- 58:48And of course the most important aspect is really DQ of the
- 58:51corporate press and then also make your friends laugh while we
- 58:56continue to win. Anyways.
- 58:59This first name is by at Bitcoin sapiens and it looks like he has
- 59:03one of these mid-journey AI pictures here and it's the
- 59:06Bitcoin logo and it almost looks like I don't know computer or I
- 59:11don't know some kind of wiring and image AI image but what is
- 59:15it like some kind of circuit board here?
- 59:17I don't know. Anyway, one knows, no one knows.
- 59:19I really like the Buried the thing that's this.
- 59:22Thank you, Nico. I really like the Tweet here,
- 59:25and it's quote from Max Keiser. It goes Bitcoin touches.
- 59:28Some very deep wiring in our mind, if you let it and what do
- 59:31we say all the time? You don't change Bitcoin,
- 59:34Bitcoin changes. You, I've experienced it.
- 59:36Niko's experience. It.
- 59:38Multiple multiple Bitcoin friends have also experienced
- 59:41it. Once you get on the Bitcoin
- 59:42standard, something changes in your brain and you view the
- 59:47world completely different. And I think That it is a
- 59:51phenomenon, a Bitcoin in this is what excites me the most about
- 59:54it is, seeing people change their lives for the better
- 59:56because of Bitcoin. Anyways, this next team is by
- 59:59simple. BTC apni, guys me at age 29 and
- 1:00:02it goes my parents at age, 21 29.
- 1:00:06Let's put 10% of our paychecks and government bonds.
- 1:00:08And your Chad, grandfather, your Chad, dad said, yes, because me
- 1:00:13at age, 29 time to overthrow the banking industry.
- 1:00:18He's like on a level like To overtake a it's deeper than
- 1:00:22that, it's deeper than that, it's deeper than that Bitcoin.
- 1:00:26Like there's levels to it, right?
- 1:00:27Which is like. Okay, so is going to change
- 1:00:30banking, it wasn't whatever, but if you get like I would say
- 1:00:33towards the end of that rabbit hole, it would you really get to
- 1:00:36another conclusion which is Bitcoin is going to
- 1:00:39fundamentally change. The relationship between
- 1:00:43governments and individuals like and I really believe in the
- 1:00:48thesis from the sovereign individual.
- 1:00:50I Lee freaking believe in that thesis where over a long period
- 1:00:53of time. It's going to force governments
- 1:00:55to rather change their behavior from like this extortion type of
- 1:00:59thing that they're doing today to a more type of business type
- 1:01:02of relationship with people because Bitcoin gives you two
- 1:01:06Powers, it gives you the power to vote with your wallet, but it
- 1:01:09also gives you the power to vote with, with your feet.
- 1:01:11And I think, as more governments try to force people into Central
- 1:01:15Bank, digital currencies, I think you're going to see a
- 1:01:18flight. I think you can see people,
- 1:01:19like, you're going to get to a point.
- 1:01:20We're bitcoiners in that said, country are going to say, you
- 1:01:23know, enough is enough, I'm going to move to El Salvador and
- 1:01:25someone like was like, kind of joking around in the chat, like,
- 1:01:28when the Nico and Opti. Like, when you guys moved to El
- 1:01:30Salvador, op do not joke about this all the time.
- 1:01:33We're like, look, we're going to try to hold it down here, hold
- 1:01:35the freaking line. But, if all else fails like,
- 1:01:38yeah, I'm going to El Salvador. Absolutely.
- 1:01:41I mean, look at what's going on over there that that it that
- 1:01:43gives me. Hope versus the CBD.
- 1:01:46See stuff like it's dystopian AF anyways Opti.
- 1:01:49Sorry, too. Sorry to take it over now.
- 1:01:52Hey, sometimes people need the context, but let's go to the
- 1:01:56next Meme and is rdb TC and he goes hot oil on and chill.
- 1:02:00And I really felt this one because I don't look at the
- 1:02:03Bitcoin price. I literally, only look at the
- 1:02:05price to tell you guys what it is in spaces, but this is the
- 1:02:07feeling I usually get, he goes me, check in the Bitcoin price
- 1:02:10and once a day like, and it's got Squidward from SpongeBob,
- 1:02:13and he's tanning and lifts his sunglasses, and it looks at the
- 1:02:16price and he's just unaffected doesn't matter getting his son
- 1:02:20in. Eating well, enjoying the
- 1:02:23journey because we are absolutely winning anyways.
- 1:02:26This next game is by my boy europium and you guys, did you
- 1:02:28stack today and on and we got this kangaroo with laser eye
- 1:02:32over here with a burning building behind him.
- 1:02:34And he goes the kangaroos thinking.
- 1:02:36We do a little stack of these stack today and the burning
- 1:02:38building is the Global Financial system.
- 1:02:42I had this Revelation over the weekend.
- 1:02:44In Miami, one of my friends II continuously use the metaphor of
- 1:02:49we are just telling people To put on the oxygen mask on a
- 1:02:52plane that is about to crash. And he corrected, me is like no
- 1:02:56Opti you have this mistaken. This is not good messaging.
- 1:03:00By telling people, the plane is crashing.
- 1:03:03You are a stewardess telling people how the mask and the
- 1:03:07oxygen masks Works before the plane crashes, while Mike, I
- 1:03:11would have loved to be in that conversation.
- 1:03:13Oh my God, like that. Okay.
- 1:03:15Like that is the framing guys. We as bitcoiners are the
- 1:03:19stewardess show. Everyone how to protect
- 1:03:22themselves from the Global Financial system collapsing.
- 1:03:26But anyways, we got this little Meme here, stacking these stack.
- 1:03:28Today, did you stack today? UNAM because it looks like the
- 1:03:31Global Financial system is burning.
- 1:03:33Because anyways, I'd said I had a meme to continue the
- 1:03:37conversation earlier. Walsh outside, the toxic bait
- 1:03:40corner. Here is the meme, and we got
- 1:03:42this Chad bit Corner that I've, you know, he's not doing so
- 1:03:46well. He's eating Burger King and he's
- 1:03:48watching twitch and he's wearing Supreme.
- 1:03:50And he's got mind control and it goes.
- 1:03:53Maybe if I start working out eating meat and stacking more
- 1:03:56life would get better and then he becomes the Chad bit Corner
- 1:03:59over here and he's jacked with laser.
- 1:04:01I think standard because yep. That was it.
