00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,291
I don't
2
00:00:00,291 --> 00:00:01,166
think that buying
3
00:00:01,166 --> 00:00:01,875
and selling Bitcoin
4
00:00:01,875 --> 00:00:02,666
will be an industry
5
00:00:02,666 --> 00:00:04,166
in 10 to 15 years.
6
00:00:04,166 --> 00:00:04,583
I'm a lot
7
00:00:04,583 --> 00:00:05,208
more interested
8
00:00:05,208 --> 00:00:06,375
in helping people
9
00:00:06,375 --> 00:00:07,500
use bitcoin
10
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:08,500
in Self-custody.
11
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:09,750
I founded
12
00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:10,208
and I'm still the
13
00:00:10,208 --> 00:00:11,333
CEO of Bitcoin
14
00:00:11,333 --> 00:00:12,708
well a non-custodial
15
00:00:12,708 --> 00:00:13,583
Bitcoin platform.
16
00:00:13,583 --> 00:00:14,208
Our mission
17
00:00:14,208 --> 00:00:15,000
statement is
18
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:15,666
just simply
19
00:00:15,666 --> 00:00:16,791
enable independence.
20
00:00:16,791 --> 00:00:17,708
We are a freedom
21
00:00:17,708 --> 00:00:19,000
focused company.
22
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:19,750
You cannot leave
23
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:21,083
funds on our platform.
24
00:00:21,083 --> 00:00:22,333
I do believe that
25
00:00:22,333 --> 00:00:23,291
my kids will grow up
26
00:00:23,291 --> 00:00:23,875
in a world
27
00:00:23,875 --> 00:00:24,291
where they can
28
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:25,041
just have a Bitcoin
29
00:00:25,041 --> 00:00:25,708
well account.
30
00:00:25,708 --> 00:00:26,541
They will not need
31
00:00:26,541 --> 00:00:27,250
a bank account.
32
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:28,166
They'll be able to
33
00:00:28,166 --> 00:00:29,375
send wire transfers
34
00:00:29,375 --> 00:00:30,291
and buy a house
35
00:00:30,291 --> 00:00:31,166
and do all the things
36
00:00:31,166 --> 00:00:31,583
that they need
37
00:00:31,583 --> 00:00:32,458
to do with
38
00:00:32,458 --> 00:00:33,291
the fiat world.
39
00:00:33,291 --> 00:00:33,750
Banks are
40
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:34,666
losing customers
41
00:00:34,666 --> 00:00:35,333
because they will not
42
00:00:35,333 --> 00:00:36,416
let their customers do
43
00:00:36,416 --> 00:00:36,875
what they want
44
00:00:36,875 --> 00:00:37,500
with their money.
45
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:38,708
Bitcoin comes along
46
00:00:38,708 --> 00:00:39,416
and completely
47
00:00:39,416 --> 00:00:40,791
disrupts their entire
48
00:00:40,791 --> 00:00:41,541
being in their
49
00:00:41,541 --> 00:00:42,500
entire business.
50
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:43,250
We no longer
51
00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:44,458
need to gamble
52
00:00:44,458 --> 00:00:46,000
our savings,
53
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,833
our value,
54
00:00:46,833 --> 00:00:47,875
our futures
55
00:00:47,875 --> 00:00:48,625
in order to just
56
00:00:48,625 --> 00:00:50,000
simply survive
57
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:50,125
because
58
00:00:50,125 --> 00:00:51,125
we've got money
59
00:00:51,125 --> 00:00:52,166
that actually does
60
00:00:52,166 --> 00:00:53,083
the work in
61
00:00:53,083 --> 00:00:54,333
preserving the value.
62
00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:55,250
Bitcoin fixes
63
00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:56,041
a lot of things.
64
00:00:57,416 --> 00:00:58,541
Absolutely.
65
00:00:58,541 --> 00:00:59,500
Almost everything.
66
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:00,416
Almost everything.
67
00:01:00,416 --> 00:01:03,416
Then.
68
00:01:04,083 --> 00:01:04,958
Adam welcome

75
00:01:09,541 --> 00:01:11,416
I appreciate it.
76
00:01:11,416 --> 00:01:12,958
Yeah. Welcome, Adam.
77
00:01:12,958 --> 00:01:13,708
We since
78
00:01:13,708 --> 00:01:14,375
we haven't had
79
00:01:14,375 --> 00:01:14,791
you on
80
00:01:14,791 --> 00:01:16,291
the show before,
81
00:01:16,291 --> 00:01:17,708
could you start off
82
00:01:17,708 --> 00:01:18,208
by giving
83
00:01:18,208 --> 00:01:18,833
our listeners
84
00:01:18,833 --> 00:01:20,375
a little tldr
85
00:01:20,375 --> 00:01:21,666
on Adam O'Brian
86
00:01:21,666 --> 00:01:22,375
and what you do?
87
00:01:22,375 --> 00:01:23,666
What is the bitcoin?
88
00:01:23,666 --> 00:01:25,583
Well, and how did you.
89
00:01:25,583 --> 00:01:26,583
So yeah, I'm.
90
00:01:26,583 --> 00:01:27,541
I'm Adam O'Brien.
91
00:01:27,541 --> 00:01:29,291
I, I founded
92
00:01:29,291 --> 00:01:29,666
and I'm still
93
00:01:29,666 --> 00:01:30,541
the CEO of,
94
00:01:30,541 --> 00:01:31,166
of bitcoin.
95
00:01:31,166 --> 00:01:31,791
Well,
96
00:01:31,791 --> 00:01:32,625
I've been doing that
97
00:01:32,625 --> 00:01:34,791
since 2013.
98
00:01:34,791 --> 00:01:36,208
So quite a
99
00:01:36,208 --> 00:01:37,750
quite a while here.
100
00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:39,375
I live in Alberta.
101
00:01:39,375 --> 00:01:40,083
You know, personally,
102
00:01:40,083 --> 00:01:41,791
I've got a wife and,
103
00:01:41,791 --> 00:01:43,833
four kids, so we're,
104
00:01:43,833 --> 00:01:44,375
you know, we're
105
00:01:44,375 --> 00:01:45,000
we're right
106
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,083
in the thick of it.
107
00:01:46,083 --> 00:01:46,458
But it's been
108
00:01:46,458 --> 00:01:46,958
pretty fun.
109
00:01:46,958 --> 00:01:47,333
We've been
110
00:01:47,333 --> 00:01:48,166
able to travel
111
00:01:48,166 --> 00:01:48,666
like we were
112
00:01:48,666 --> 00:01:49,333
just got back from
113
00:01:49,333 --> 00:01:49,875
El Salvador,
114
00:01:49,875 --> 00:01:50,125
went to
115
00:01:50,125 --> 00:01:51,500
adopting bitcoin.
116
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:52,000
We brought
117
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:52,583
three of the
118
00:01:52,583 --> 00:01:53,208
four kids.
119
00:01:53,208 --> 00:01:53,916
The small one
120
00:01:53,916 --> 00:01:55,500
is just he
121
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:57,000
he he's just too much
122
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:57,416
right now
123
00:01:57,416 --> 00:01:58,083
on the airplane.
124
00:01:58,083 --> 00:01:58,833
So we left him
125
00:01:58,833 --> 00:02:00,208
behind with grandma.
126
00:02:00,208 --> 00:02:01,166
Brought the kids to do
127
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:02,291
the Bitcoin thing.
128
00:02:02,291 --> 00:02:03,125
We're a family of
129
00:02:03,125 --> 00:02:04,041
bitcoiners, man.
130
00:02:04,041 --> 00:02:05,416
We we
131
00:02:05,416 --> 00:02:06,000
really, really
132
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,750
understand.
133
00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:07,083
Or at least
134
00:02:07,083 --> 00:02:08,000
I think we do.
135
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,083
I'm sure in five years
136
00:02:09,083 --> 00:02:09,666
I'll look back
137
00:02:09,666 --> 00:02:10,291
and think, wow,
138
00:02:10,291 --> 00:02:11,625
I didn't know a thing,
139
00:02:11,625 --> 00:02:12,666
just like I always do.
140
00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:13,541
But,
141
00:02:13,541 --> 00:02:14,416
we understand
142
00:02:14,416 --> 00:02:15,083
the importance
143
00:02:15,083 --> 00:02:16,208
of generational,
144
00:02:16,208 --> 00:02:16,958
you know, wealth
145
00:02:16,958 --> 00:02:17,750
and freedom and,
146
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:18,541
and and why
147
00:02:18,541 --> 00:02:19,250
that's so important.
148
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:20,125
We're raising our kids
149
00:02:20,125 --> 00:02:21,250
in a, in a home
150
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:21,708
that values
151
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:22,416
that kind of stuff.
152
00:02:22,416 --> 00:02:23,458
And it's,
153
00:02:23,458 --> 00:02:24,000
Yeah, it's
154
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,750
an exciting ride.
155
00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:25,875
So that's kind of
156
00:02:25,875 --> 00:02:27,375
there's the 100,000ft
157
00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:29,458
view of, of atom.
158
00:02:29,458 --> 00:02:29,916
Bitcoin
159
00:02:29,916 --> 00:02:31,083
well, is
160
00:02:31,083 --> 00:02:32,125
a non-custodial
161
00:02:32,125 --> 00:02:33,875
bitcoin platform.
162
00:02:33,875 --> 00:02:34,208
We're actually
163
00:02:34,208 --> 00:02:35,041
on a mission.
164
00:02:35,041 --> 00:02:35,875
So our mission
165
00:02:35,875 --> 00:02:36,875
statement is just,
166
00:02:36,875 --> 00:02:37,958
just simply enable
167
00:02:37,958 --> 00:02:38,666
independence.
168
00:02:38,666 --> 00:02:39,583
We are a freedom
169
00:02:39,583 --> 00:02:41,208
focused company.
170
00:02:41,208 --> 00:02:41,958
You cannot leave
171
00:02:41,958 --> 00:02:43,708
funds on our platform.
172
00:02:43,708 --> 00:02:44,083
This is,
173
00:02:44,083 --> 00:02:44,375
I think,
174
00:02:44,375 --> 00:02:45,083
the number one
175
00:02:45,083 --> 00:02:46,041
most important thing
176
00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:47,041
for bitcoin platforms
177
00:02:47,041 --> 00:02:47,791
is for
178
00:02:47,791 --> 00:02:48,833
for broker
179
00:02:48,833 --> 00:02:50,166
and custodian
180
00:02:50,166 --> 00:02:51,958
to be split,
181
00:02:51,958 --> 00:02:52,750
at minimum
182
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:54,083
and at best, obviously
183
00:02:54,083 --> 00:02:55,625
for the end user,
184
00:02:55,625 --> 00:02:56,541
the, the,
185
00:02:56,541 --> 00:02:57,541
the beneficial owner
186
00:02:57,541 --> 00:02:58,250
of the Bitcoin
187
00:02:58,250 --> 00:02:59,041
needs to have,
188
00:02:59,041 --> 00:02:59,333
you know,
189
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:00,791
full custody.
190
00:03:00,791 --> 00:03:02,083
And so yeah,
191
00:03:02,083 --> 00:03:03,291
it's definitely been
192
00:03:03,291 --> 00:03:03,666
you know,
193
00:03:03,666 --> 00:03:04,666
there's, there's ups
194
00:03:04,666 --> 00:03:05,125
and downs
195
00:03:05,125 --> 00:03:05,916
to this business,
196
00:03:05,916 --> 00:03:06,791
to this industry.
197
00:03:06,791 --> 00:03:08,041
But certainly running
198
00:03:08,041 --> 00:03:08,916
a non-custodial
199
00:03:08,916 --> 00:03:10,708
version of
200
00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:11,500
of this business
201
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:12,875
is, is tricky. But
202
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:14,583
we're loving it.
203
00:03:14,583 --> 00:03:15,291
We're doing it.
204
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,958
It's forcing us to
205
00:03:16,958 --> 00:03:18,041
think differently
206
00:03:18,041 --> 00:03:19,375
and be smarter.
207
00:03:19,375 --> 00:03:20,291
And I think that
208
00:03:20,291 --> 00:03:21,041
the consumer
209
00:03:21,041 --> 00:03:23,375
benefits as a result.
210
00:03:23,375 --> 00:03:24,000
So you
211
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,458
you called it
212
00:03:24,458 --> 00:03:26,625
a platform.
213
00:03:26,625 --> 00:03:27,208
What is that?
214
00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:28,083
It's not like an
215
00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:30,041
exchange or what?
216
00:03:30,041 --> 00:03:31,000
What is the thing?
217
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,833
I, I have eradicated
218
00:03:32,833 --> 00:03:33,958
the word exchange
219
00:03:33,958 --> 00:03:35,208
from my vocabulary
220
00:03:35,208 --> 00:03:35,666
when talking
221
00:03:35,666 --> 00:03:36,291
about Bitcoin.
222
00:03:36,291 --> 00:03:36,916
Well,
223
00:03:36,916 --> 00:03:37,916
because we are
224
00:03:37,916 --> 00:03:39,416
not a place where,
225
00:03:39,416 --> 00:03:40,583
like an exchange,
226
00:03:40,583 --> 00:03:42,125
it implies
227
00:03:42,125 --> 00:03:42,958
that the place
228
00:03:42,958 --> 00:03:44,041
you log in
229
00:03:44,041 --> 00:03:44,625
does not own
230
00:03:44,625 --> 00:03:45,333
the Bitcoin.
231
00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:46,000
It's simply
232
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,958
a middleman
233
00:03:46,958 --> 00:03:48,583
in between two
234
00:03:48,583 --> 00:03:49,416
trading parties
235
00:03:49,416 --> 00:03:50,500
to exchanging parties,
236
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,041
if you will.
237
00:03:52,041 --> 00:03:52,500
Bitcoin
238
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:53,625
well is direct
239
00:03:53,625 --> 00:03:54,958
to consumer
240
00:03:54,958 --> 00:03:55,708
when you buy
241
00:03:55,708 --> 00:03:56,708
bitcoin at Bitcoin
242
00:03:56,708 --> 00:03:57,291
well that comes
243
00:03:57,291 --> 00:03:58,833
out of our inventory.
244
00:03:58,833 --> 00:03:59,166
You're not
245
00:03:59,166 --> 00:04:00,416
trading with the guy
246
00:04:00,416 --> 00:04:02,250
on the other side.
247
00:04:02,250 --> 00:04:04,750
There's no bid and ask
248
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:05,166
there's just
249
00:04:05,166 --> 00:04:06,708
simply a buy price
250
00:04:06,708 --> 00:04:08,041
and a sell price
251
00:04:08,041 --> 00:04:09,416
and and bitcoin.
252
00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:09,875
Well is the
253
00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:10,833
counterparty
254
00:04:10,833 --> 00:04:11,375
in all of
255
00:04:11,375 --> 00:04:12,208
those scenarios.
256
00:04:12,208 --> 00:04:13,291
This is part of what
257
00:04:13,291 --> 00:04:14,166
needs to happen
258
00:04:14,166 --> 00:04:15,000
in, in,
259
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,208
in a
260
00:04:15,208 --> 00:04:16,625
non-custodial business
261
00:04:16,625 --> 00:04:17,708
because
262
00:04:17,708 --> 00:04:18,750
you can't leave
263
00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:19,166
funds on
264
00:04:19,166 --> 00:04:19,625
the platform
265
00:04:19,625 --> 00:04:20,541
will be very difficult
266
00:04:20,541 --> 00:04:21,416
to be an exchange
267
00:04:21,416 --> 00:04:22,291
with no one leaving
268
00:04:22,291 --> 00:04:23,833
any funds on the,
269
00:04:23,833 --> 00:04:25,541
on the platform.
270
00:04:25,541 --> 00:04:26,375
So, so yeah.
271
00:04:26,375 --> 00:04:27,333
And then platform
272
00:04:27,333 --> 00:04:27,875
even further
273
00:04:27,875 --> 00:04:29,041
than that,
274
00:04:29,041 --> 00:04:29,541
I'm actually not
275
00:04:29,541 --> 00:04:30,583
very interested
276
00:04:30,583 --> 00:04:31,916
in solely buying
277
00:04:31,916 --> 00:04:33,041
and selling Bitcoin.
278
00:04:33,041 --> 00:04:33,958
I don't think that
279
00:04:33,958 --> 00:04:34,583
buying and selling
280
00:04:34,583 --> 00:04:35,166
Bitcoin will be
281
00:04:35,166 --> 00:04:36,250
an industry in 10
282
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:37,958
to 15 years.
283
00:04:37,958 --> 00:04:38,500
I'm a lot more
284
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:39,208
interested in,
285
00:04:39,208 --> 00:04:40,708
in, in helping people
286
00:04:40,708 --> 00:04:41,833
use Bitcoin
287
00:04:41,833 --> 00:04:43,041
in Self-custody.
288
00:04:43,041 --> 00:04:43,416
And so,
289
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:43,625
you know,
290
00:04:43,625 --> 00:04:44,250
our mission statement,
291
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:44,625
as I said,
292
00:04:44,625 --> 00:04:44,791
is to
293
00:04:44,791 --> 00:04:45,958
enable independence.
294
00:04:45,958 --> 00:04:46,958
And we do that
295
00:04:46,958 --> 00:04:47,916
by making Bitcoin
296
00:04:47,916 --> 00:04:48,875
and self-custody
297
00:04:48,875 --> 00:04:49,833
easy to use,
298
00:04:49,833 --> 00:04:50,375
kind of like
299
00:04:50,375 --> 00:04:51,083
the convenience
300
00:04:51,083 --> 00:04:52,208
of modern banking
301
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:53,166
with the benefits
302
00:04:53,166 --> 00:04:53,750
of Bitcoin.
303
00:04:53,750 --> 00:04:55,125
So benefits of Bitcoin
304
00:04:55,125 --> 00:04:55,750
you can hold it
305
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:56,333
and control it
306
00:04:56,333 --> 00:04:57,166
yourself.
307
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:57,416
You know
308
00:04:57,416 --> 00:04:57,750
you've got
309
00:04:57,750 --> 00:04:58,500
full access.
310
00:04:58,500 --> 00:04:59,041
You can go anywhere
311
00:04:59,041 --> 00:04:59,583
in the world.
312
00:04:59,583 --> 00:05:00,416
It's all good.
313
00:05:00,416 --> 00:05:01,458
But benefits of
314
00:05:01,458 --> 00:05:02,291
of modern bank
315
00:05:02,291 --> 00:05:02,666
or sorry
316
00:05:02,666 --> 00:05:03,208
about convenience
317
00:05:03,208 --> 00:05:03,875
of modern banking.
318
00:05:03,875 --> 00:05:05,125
Like tap your phone
319
00:05:05,125 --> 00:05:06,291
to pay for things
320
00:05:06,291 --> 00:05:06,625
you know
321
00:05:06,625 --> 00:05:08,791
pay bills online.
322
00:05:08,791 --> 00:05:09,666
And so that
323
00:05:09,666 --> 00:05:10,166
we developed
324
00:05:10,166 --> 00:05:11,375
a platform
325
00:05:11,375 --> 00:05:11,791
or part of
326
00:05:11,791 --> 00:05:12,666
the platform is
327
00:05:12,666 --> 00:05:14,000
being able to,
328
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,791
pay your bills
329
00:05:14,791 --> 00:05:15,333
in Bitcoin.
330
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:16,166
So I,
331
00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:17,416
I have my Amex card,
332
00:05:17,416 --> 00:05:17,875
which I go
333
00:05:17,875 --> 00:05:18,958
around tapping,
334
00:05:18,958 --> 00:05:21,000
you know, to buy like,
335
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,250
you know, went to the
336
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:23,083
to the tire store
337
00:05:23,083 --> 00:05:24,041
to get a new hitch
338
00:05:24,041 --> 00:05:25,000
in, like whatever,
339
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,666
buy a coffee.
340
00:05:26,666 --> 00:05:27,416
There's no chance
341
00:05:27,416 --> 00:05:27,958
these chains
342
00:05:27,958 --> 00:05:28,250
are going to be
343
00:05:28,250 --> 00:05:28,625
any bitcoin
344
00:05:28,625 --> 00:05:29,416
anytime soon.
345
00:05:29,416 --> 00:05:30,541
And so we
346
00:05:30,541 --> 00:05:31,500
tap the card,
347
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:32,875
tap the Amex card.
348
00:05:32,875 --> 00:05:33,250
And then at the
349
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:33,833
end of the month
350
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:34,750
I just pay the bill
351
00:05:34,750 --> 00:05:36,000
with Bitcoin
352
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,708
and off we go
353
00:05:36,708 --> 00:05:37,375
I get to hold
354
00:05:37,375 --> 00:05:37,875
my bitcoin
355
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:38,916
in Self-custody.
356
00:05:38,916 --> 00:05:39,875
I'm not exposed to
357
00:05:39,875 --> 00:05:41,083
the horrific Canadian
358
00:05:41,083 --> 00:05:42,208
banking system.
359
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:43,250
Not that they want me
360
00:05:44,458 --> 00:05:45,958
and and
361
00:05:45,958 --> 00:05:47,583
and yeah, that's
362
00:05:47,583 --> 00:05:47,958
that's it.
363
00:05:47,958 --> 00:05:49,875
So I a platform
364
00:05:49,875 --> 00:05:50,583
so much more
365
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:51,083
than just buy
366
00:05:51,083 --> 00:05:51,416
and sell.
367
00:05:51,416 --> 00:05:53,041
In fact in the States
368
00:05:53,041 --> 00:05:53,875
I'm just rambling on
369
00:05:53,875 --> 00:05:54,208
so I feel free
370
00:05:54,208 --> 00:05:54,916
to cut me off
371
00:05:54,916 --> 00:05:55,291
any time,
372
00:05:55,291 --> 00:05:55,875
but I feel like
373
00:05:55,875 --> 00:05:56,166
I'm going to
374
00:05:56,166 --> 00:05:57,541
talk forever here.
375
00:05:57,541 --> 00:05:58,625
Buckle up, listener.
376
00:05:58,625 --> 00:06:00,125
We're in for it.
377
00:06:00,125 --> 00:06:01,500
We're developing,
378
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:02,583
right now, a direct
379
00:06:02,583 --> 00:06:03,750
deposit function
380
00:06:03,750 --> 00:06:04,833
so you can send
381
00:06:04,833 --> 00:06:05,125
you'll be able
382
00:06:05,125 --> 00:06:06,041
to send your paycheck
383
00:06:06,041 --> 00:06:07,541
or your stimulus check
384
00:06:07,541 --> 00:06:08,375
or whatever
385
00:06:08,375 --> 00:06:09,333
directly to Bitcoin.
386
00:06:09,333 --> 00:06:09,958
Well,
387
00:06:09,958 --> 00:06:10,416
and then you
388
00:06:10,416 --> 00:06:11,666
can automate a portion
389
00:06:11,666 --> 00:06:12,000
of that
390
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,333
going to Self-custody
391
00:06:13,333 --> 00:06:13,625
and then
392
00:06:13,625 --> 00:06:14,375
a portion of that
393
00:06:14,375 --> 00:06:15,041
and then the rest
394
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:15,541
going back
395
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:16,583
to your bank.
396
00:06:16,583 --> 00:06:17,041
But of course
397
00:06:17,041 --> 00:06:18,375
the next step is
398
00:06:18,375 --> 00:06:18,958
you can automate
399
00:06:18,958 --> 00:06:19,458
a portion of that
400
00:06:19,458 --> 00:06:20,458
to Self-custody.
401
00:06:20,458 --> 00:06:21,250
And then you can
402
00:06:21,250 --> 00:06:22,458
have your mortgage
403
00:06:22,458 --> 00:06:22,916
or your car
404
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:23,791
payment or whatever
405
00:06:23,791 --> 00:06:24,416
withdrawn
406
00:06:24,416 --> 00:06:25,375
automatically from
407
00:06:25,375 --> 00:06:25,875
that Bitcoin
408
00:06:25,875 --> 00:06:26,708
real account.
409
00:06:26,708 --> 00:06:27,541
And then of course,
410
00:06:27,541 --> 00:06:28,375
the third step is
411
00:06:28,375 --> 00:06:29,125
just have all of it
412
00:06:29,125 --> 00:06:30,375
go to Self-custody
413
00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:31,541
and then,
414
00:06:31,541 --> 00:06:31,875
you know,
415
00:06:31,875 --> 00:06:32,666
pay your bills
416
00:06:32,666 --> 00:06:33,666
with Bitcoin
417
00:06:33,666 --> 00:06:34,625
from Self-custody.
418
00:06:34,625 --> 00:06:35,291
And so
419
00:06:35,291 --> 00:06:35,875
that's really where
420
00:06:35,875 --> 00:06:37,125
we're trying to push,
421
00:06:37,125 --> 00:06:38,000
you know the
422
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,458
the code
423
00:06:38,458 --> 00:06:39,000
that keeps coming to
424
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,291
mind is
425
00:06:40,291 --> 00:06:41,208
be the change
426
00:06:41,208 --> 00:06:41,708
that you want
427
00:06:41,708 --> 00:06:42,708
the world
428
00:06:42,708 --> 00:06:43,166
to see
429
00:06:43,166 --> 00:06:43,708
or to be or
430
00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:44,250
whatever the,
431
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:45,125
whatever the quotas
432
00:06:45,125 --> 00:06:46,083
be the change.
433
00:06:46,083 --> 00:06:47,208
And,
434
00:06:47,208 --> 00:06:48,958
I do not want my kids
435
00:06:48,958 --> 00:06:49,500
to have
436
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:50,541
the same exposure
437
00:06:50,541 --> 00:06:51,416
to the legacy
438
00:06:51,416 --> 00:06:52,458
financial system
439
00:06:52,458 --> 00:06:52,791
that our
440
00:06:52,791 --> 00:06:53,958
generation does.
441
00:06:53,958 --> 00:06:54,750
And so
442
00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:55,583
we need a platform
443
00:06:55,583 --> 00:06:56,833
that enables people
444
00:06:56,833 --> 00:06:57,958
to live on Bitcoin.
445
00:06:59,208 --> 00:06:59,500
Yeah.
446
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:00,750
That's, how our
447
00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:02,500
new book starts.
448
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:03,750
The, Bitcoin,
449
00:07:03,750 --> 00:07:04,625
the inverse of clown
450
00:07:04,625 --> 00:07:05,250
world, starts
451
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,416
with a very,
452
00:07:06,416 --> 00:07:07,666
very tacky,
453
00:07:07,666 --> 00:07:09,375
Michael Jackson quote.
454
00:07:09,375 --> 00:07:10,166
If you want to make
455
00:07:10,166 --> 00:07:10,500
the world
456
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:11,375
a better place,
457
00:07:11,375 --> 00:07:11,958
take a look
458
00:07:11,958 --> 00:07:12,583
at yourself
459
00:07:12,583 --> 00:07:13,083
and then make
460
00:07:13,083 --> 00:07:14,041
a change.
461
00:07:14,041 --> 00:07:15,291
Wow, I love.
462
00:07:15,291 --> 00:07:16,166
In the mirror.
463
00:07:16,166 --> 00:07:16,666
Yes.
464
00:07:16,666 --> 00:07:18,000
And the profound
465
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,833
truth there,
466
00:07:19,833 --> 00:07:21,041
even though it sounds.
467
00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:22,625
Yeah.
468
00:07:22,625 --> 00:07:23,208
It's, you know what?
469
00:07:23,208 --> 00:07:24,583
It's cliche and it's
470
00:07:24,583 --> 00:07:25,791
whatever, but
471
00:07:25,791 --> 00:07:27,208
how few people
472
00:07:27,208 --> 00:07:29,458
actually do it.
473
00:07:29,458 --> 00:07:30,000
We were chatting
474
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,583
last night
475
00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:31,833
with some friends,
476
00:07:31,833 --> 00:07:33,250
and it's like
477
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:35,250
we're talking about,
478
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:35,625
you know, we're
479
00:07:35,625 --> 00:07:36,291
going through a book
480
00:07:36,291 --> 00:07:36,958
together,
481
00:07:36,958 --> 00:07:37,416
kind of like
482
00:07:37,416 --> 00:07:38,750
part of a Bible study.
483
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:40,041
And I kind of made
484
00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:41,041
the comment like,
485
00:07:41,041 --> 00:07:41,458
look,
486
00:07:41,458 --> 00:07:42,000
nothing was
487
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,875
revolutionary
488
00:07:42,875 --> 00:07:43,666
in this chapter
489
00:07:43,666 --> 00:07:44,083
for the last
490
00:07:44,083 --> 00:07:45,333
few weeks.
491
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:45,666
But it's
492
00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:47,041
a good reminder
493
00:07:47,041 --> 00:07:47,458
that we have
494
00:07:47,458 --> 00:07:48,291
to take action.
495
00:07:48,291 --> 00:07:48,958
And like,
496
00:07:48,958 --> 00:07:50,375
I know how to
497
00:07:50,375 --> 00:07:52,583
how to have a 4% BMI
498
00:07:52,583 --> 00:07:53,000
and A
499
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,250
and a six pack with,
500
00:07:54,250 --> 00:07:55,166
you know, with a shirt
501
00:07:55,166 --> 00:07:55,916
that is just
502
00:07:55,916 --> 00:07:56,416
like fitting,
503
00:07:56,416 --> 00:07:57,375
just perfect.
504
00:07:57,375 --> 00:07:58,208
But guess what?
505
00:07:59,583 --> 00:08:00,500
I'm not disciplined
506
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:01,833
enough to do that.
507
00:08:01,833 --> 00:08:03,666
And and it's such,
508
00:08:03,666 --> 00:08:05,041
so it's such a key
509
00:08:05,041 --> 00:08:06,000
kind of component
510
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,583
I feel like to
511
00:08:07,583 --> 00:08:09,041
knowing what to do
512
00:08:09,041 --> 00:08:09,916
is really only
513
00:08:09,916 --> 00:08:11,041
like 10%.
514
00:08:11,041 --> 00:08:12,000
The other 90
515
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,916
is actually
516
00:08:12,916 --> 00:08:13,833
getting it done
517
00:08:13,833 --> 00:08:15,000
and doing it.
518
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,458
Yeah, but,
519
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:17,125
never judge
520
00:08:17,125 --> 00:08:19,000
a book by its cover.
521
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:19,958
You don't have to have
522
00:08:19,958 --> 00:08:20,500
a perfect
523
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,916
abs to be, to be fit.
524
00:08:22,916 --> 00:08:23,250
You can
525
00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:23,666
you can be
526
00:08:23,666 --> 00:08:24,958
mentally fit.
527
00:08:24,958 --> 00:08:25,500
That's right,
528
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:26,291
I like that.
529
00:08:26,291 --> 00:08:26,708
That's what
530
00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:28,291
I'm I'm in there.
531
00:08:28,291 --> 00:08:30,750
The mental juggernaut.
532
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:31,416
Yeah.
533
00:08:31,416 --> 00:08:32,458
No, but,
534
00:08:32,458 --> 00:08:33,666
I mean, Michael
535
00:08:33,666 --> 00:08:35,000
Jackson himself,
536
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,166
he changed,
537
00:08:36,166 --> 00:08:36,666
he changed
538
00:08:36,666 --> 00:08:37,416
from black man
539
00:08:37,416 --> 00:08:38,208
to white woman.
540
00:08:38,208 --> 00:08:39,083
But maybe
541
00:08:39,083 --> 00:08:39,958
that's not
542
00:08:39,958 --> 00:08:41,250
what he intended.
543
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:41,916
Like the song
544
00:08:41,916 --> 00:08:44,500
lyric to be, but,
545
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:44,708
he's.
546
00:08:44,708 --> 00:08:45,750
So it's to his own,
547
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:46,791
I guess.
548
00:08:46,791 --> 00:08:48,958
For her or her.
549
00:08:48,958 --> 00:08:50,416
Yeah, whatever.
550
00:08:50,416 --> 00:08:50,833
I guess
551
00:08:50,833 --> 00:08:51,958
I think we've
552
00:08:51,958 --> 00:08:52,958
abandoned woke
553
00:08:52,958 --> 00:08:53,916
ism at this point,
554
00:08:53,916 --> 00:08:54,333
haven't we?
555
00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:55,083
Like,
556
00:08:55,083 --> 00:08:56,250
I feel like the world
557
00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:57,125
has just ditched
558
00:08:57,125 --> 00:08:58,166
that whole thing.
559
00:08:58,166 --> 00:08:58,916
That was a bad idea.
560
00:08:58,916 --> 00:08:59,708
Let's. Let's go.
561
00:08:59,708 --> 00:09:00,541
Next thing.
562
00:09:00,541 --> 00:09:02,125
It feels like it.
563
00:09:02,125 --> 00:09:03,250
It became cool
564
00:09:03,250 --> 00:09:04,958
to be conservative.
565
00:09:04,958 --> 00:09:07,500
It became cool again.
566
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:07,833
Yeah.
567
00:09:07,833 --> 00:09:08,041
You know,
568
00:09:08,041 --> 00:09:09,083
you can see it in
569
00:09:09,083 --> 00:09:09,708
the culture.
570
00:09:09,708 --> 00:09:10,166
I've noticed
571
00:09:10,166 --> 00:09:10,791
this shift
572
00:09:10,791 --> 00:09:11,958
over the last.
573
00:09:11,958 --> 00:09:12,250
Yeah,
574
00:09:12,250 --> 00:09:12,833
probably started
575
00:09:12,833 --> 00:09:13,875
about 12 months ago.
576
00:09:13,875 --> 00:09:14,291
And then,
577
00:09:14,291 --> 00:09:14,958
you know, certainly
578
00:09:14,958 --> 00:09:16,416
over the election,
579
00:09:16,416 --> 00:09:17,416
like,
580
00:09:17,416 --> 00:09:18,208
I don't know how
581
00:09:18,208 --> 00:09:19,541
many celebrities
582
00:09:19,541 --> 00:09:21,416
came out Anti-woke,
583
00:09:22,541 --> 00:09:23,916
over the last,
584
00:09:23,916 --> 00:09:25,291
you know, six months.
585
00:09:25,291 --> 00:09:26,208
And that is
586
00:09:26,208 --> 00:09:27,375
just game changing.
587
00:09:27,375 --> 00:09:27,625
No.
588
00:09:27,625 --> 00:09:28,083
What people
589
00:09:28,083 --> 00:09:28,541
are no longer
590
00:09:28,541 --> 00:09:29,083
afraid of
591
00:09:29,083 --> 00:09:30,125
cancel culture.
592
00:09:30,125 --> 00:09:31,000
And I feel like
593
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,083
this is just,
594
00:09:32,083 --> 00:09:33,083
you know, this is the,
595
00:09:33,083 --> 00:09:35,041
the, the purest form
596
00:09:35,041 --> 00:09:36,958
of, of a free market,
597
00:09:36,958 --> 00:09:37,583
kind of like
598
00:09:37,583 --> 00:09:38,666
swinging back
599
00:09:38,666 --> 00:09:39,208
and forth
600
00:09:39,208 --> 00:09:39,625
and back
601
00:09:39,625 --> 00:09:39,958
and forth
602
00:09:39,958 --> 00:09:40,416
and eventually
603
00:09:40,416 --> 00:09:42,125
the path gets found.
604
00:09:42,125 --> 00:09:43,083
Yeah,
605
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,166
there's a lot of the
606
00:09:44,166 --> 00:09:44,666
sounds like
607
00:09:44,666 --> 00:09:45,166
you've read
608
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:46,000
our book already,
609
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,916
because it
610
00:09:46,916 --> 00:09:47,916
also feels like
611
00:09:47,916 --> 00:09:48,583
it came out
612
00:09:48,583 --> 00:09:49,791
like a month or two
613
00:09:49,791 --> 00:09:50,250
too late,
614
00:09:50,250 --> 00:09:51,333
because it's
615
00:09:51,333 --> 00:09:51,791
addressing
616
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:52,416
the problems
617
00:09:52,416 --> 00:09:53,166
that were there
618
00:09:53,166 --> 00:09:54,208
like six months ago.
619
00:09:54,208 --> 00:09:55,833
But maybe.
620
00:09:55,833 --> 00:09:57,041
But then again,
621
00:09:57,041 --> 00:09:57,958
the pendulum
622
00:09:57,958 --> 00:09:58,916
you mentioned, that's
623
00:09:58,916 --> 00:09:59,541
another chapter
624
00:09:59,541 --> 00:10:00,041
of the book.
625
00:10:00,041 --> 00:10:00,666
Like it
626
00:10:00,666 --> 00:10:01,833
swings back and forth,
627
00:10:01,833 --> 00:10:02,708
and I don't think
628
00:10:02,708 --> 00:10:04,166
like the other side
629
00:10:04,166 --> 00:10:05,833
of any political aisle
630
00:10:05,833 --> 00:10:07,000
is necessarily
631
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,250
the answer.
632
00:10:08,250 --> 00:10:08,791
The answer
633
00:10:08,791 --> 00:10:10,166
is not to, to
634
00:10:10,166 --> 00:10:11,375
to like turn the wheel
635
00:10:11,375 --> 00:10:11,875
to another
636
00:10:11,875 --> 00:10:13,166
spoke of the wheel.
637
00:10:13,166 --> 00:10:13,916
It's to break
638
00:10:13,916 --> 00:10:14,875
the wheels.
639
00:10:14,875 --> 00:10:16,166
Yes. That's right.
640
00:10:16,166 --> 00:10:16,708
I saw Gary
641
00:10:16,708 --> 00:10:17,666
and said, like,
642
00:10:17,666 --> 00:10:18,708
if we want to destroy
643
00:10:18,708 --> 00:10:19,166
the whole
644
00:10:19,166 --> 00:10:19,833
fucking thing
645
00:10:19,833 --> 00:10:20,958
and throw politics
646
00:10:20,958 --> 00:10:21,708
out the window
647
00:10:21,708 --> 00:10:22,291
completely,
648
00:10:22,291 --> 00:10:22,791
that's getting.
649
00:10:22,791 --> 00:10:23,708
Rid of the
650
00:10:23,708 --> 00:10:25,416
the the politicians.
651
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:25,916
Yeah, that's
652
00:10:25,916 --> 00:10:27,083
the bastard.
653
00:10:27,083 --> 00:10:27,958
Like we have
654
00:10:27,958 --> 00:10:29,333
the evidence for us.
655
00:10:29,333 --> 00:10:30,708
Well, that
656
00:10:30,708 --> 00:10:31,833
that and the roads
657
00:10:31,833 --> 00:10:32,625
and peace and.
658
00:10:32,625 --> 00:10:33,416
Yeah, yeah.
659
00:10:33,416 --> 00:10:33,958
Well it's
660
00:10:33,958 --> 00:10:34,750
and it's like,
661
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:35,666
first of all,
662
00:10:35,666 --> 00:10:36,083
they're not doing
663
00:10:36,083 --> 00:10:36,750
a very good job
664
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:37,166
of that here
665
00:10:37,166 --> 00:10:38,291
in Canada anyways.
666
00:10:38,291 --> 00:10:40,000
So I don't know.
667
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,250
But there's this,
668
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:42,333
I've had this, this
669
00:10:42,333 --> 00:10:43,833
kind of theory.
670
00:10:43,833 --> 00:10:44,875
About, you know,
671
00:10:44,875 --> 00:10:45,583
how do we get
672
00:10:45,583 --> 00:10:46,875
to, to mass
673
00:10:46,875 --> 00:10:48,291
bitcoin adoption,
674
00:10:48,291 --> 00:10:49,541
when does it come
675
00:10:49,541 --> 00:10:50,791
and you know,
676
00:10:50,791 --> 00:10:52,708
the right naturally,
677
00:10:52,708 --> 00:10:53,708
I think
678
00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:55,916
adopted bitcoin simply
679
00:10:55,916 --> 00:10:56,791
because it was the
680
00:10:56,791 --> 00:10:58,708
left in power.
681
00:10:58,708 --> 00:10:59,541
You know like
682
00:10:59,541 --> 00:11:00,000
we have been
683
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,833
getting more
684
00:11:00,833 --> 00:11:01,958
and more progressive
685
00:11:01,958 --> 00:11:03,416
or left for the last
686
00:11:03,416 --> 00:11:04,041
as long as I
687
00:11:04,041 --> 00:11:05,375
can remember.
688
00:11:05,375 --> 00:11:06,166
And so it feels
689
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:07,166
like naturally
690
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:08,208
freedom money
691
00:11:08,208 --> 00:11:09,583
goes to the quote
692
00:11:09,583 --> 00:11:10,458
unquote oppressed.
693
00:11:10,458 --> 00:11:11,166
Now, I don't want to,
694
00:11:11,166 --> 00:11:11,500
you know,
695
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:12,166
I'll use that word
696
00:11:12,166 --> 00:11:12,916
very loosely
697
00:11:12,916 --> 00:11:13,583
and lightly.
698
00:11:13,583 --> 00:11:16,000
Let's, you know, be,
699
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:16,791
be sensitive,
700
00:11:16,791 --> 00:11:18,708
but at the same time,
701
00:11:18,708 --> 00:11:19,708
moving,
702
00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:20,750
moving the pendulum.
703
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:21,708
So, you know,
704
00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:22,541
we're moving now
705
00:11:22,541 --> 00:11:23,916
all the way to
706
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:24,875
to the right,
707
00:11:24,875 --> 00:11:25,708
it seems,
708
00:11:25,708 --> 00:11:26,375
which is great,
709
00:11:26,375 --> 00:11:27,750
which means the left
710
00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:28,541
will eventually
711
00:11:28,541 --> 00:11:29,291
be oppressed.
712
00:11:29,291 --> 00:11:29,791
They will go to
713
00:11:29,791 --> 00:11:30,583
the same things
714
00:11:30,583 --> 00:11:30,958
that us
715
00:11:30,958 --> 00:11:31,541
bitcoiners
716
00:11:31,541 --> 00:11:32,041
have been going
717
00:11:32,041 --> 00:11:32,875
through with the
718
00:11:32,875 --> 00:11:34,291
financial banishment
719
00:11:34,291 --> 00:11:34,833
and the,
720
00:11:34,833 --> 00:11:35,708
you know, the state
721
00:11:35,708 --> 00:11:36,291
calling you
722
00:11:36,291 --> 00:11:37,333
or making up lies
723
00:11:37,333 --> 00:11:38,250
about you and
724
00:11:38,250 --> 00:11:39,041
and whatever
725
00:11:39,041 --> 00:11:39,708
or whatever.
726
00:11:39,708 --> 00:11:40,833
And then they too
727
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:41,541
will realize,
728
00:11:41,541 --> 00:11:42,708
oh hey, Bitcoin
729
00:11:42,708 --> 00:11:43,666
is nonpartisan.
730
00:11:43,666 --> 00:11:44,458
Bitcoin
731
00:11:44,458 --> 00:11:45,083
is something
732
00:11:45,083 --> 00:11:45,666
that I can
733
00:11:45,666 --> 00:11:46,666
benefit from
734
00:11:46,666 --> 00:11:48,500
within my ideology.
735
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:49,458
It'll probably change
736
00:11:49,458 --> 00:11:50,250
that ideology
737
00:11:50,250 --> 00:11:50,708
quite a bit
738
00:11:50,708 --> 00:11:51,333
because Bitcoin
739
00:11:51,333 --> 00:11:52,000
changes you
740
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,750
and kind of forces you
741
00:11:52,750 --> 00:11:53,416
to think more
742
00:11:53,416 --> 00:11:54,000
and not just,
743
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,291
you know,
744
00:11:54,291 --> 00:11:55,416
act on emotion,
745
00:11:55,416 --> 00:11:56,750
but it will still,
746
00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:57,166
you know,
747
00:11:57,166 --> 00:11:58,041
it will still be
748
00:11:58,041 --> 00:11:58,583
there as
749
00:11:58,583 --> 00:11:59,916
a freedom tool.
750
00:11:59,916 --> 00:12:00,750
And then
751
00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:01,541
at that point,
752
00:12:01,541 --> 00:12:02,041
I think is
753
00:12:02,041 --> 00:12:03,750
when we get to this
754
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:04,666
hyper bitcoin
755
00:12:04,666 --> 00:12:05,791
ized,
756
00:12:05,791 --> 00:12:06,291
spot,
757
00:12:06,291 --> 00:12:07,916
when both sides of
758
00:12:07,916 --> 00:12:08,541
the aisle
759
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:09,333
have realized
760
00:12:09,333 --> 00:12:10,500
that is is in fact
761
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:11,250
the aisle
762
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:12,625
that is the problem.
763
00:12:12,625 --> 00:12:13,166
And yeah.
764
00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:14,416
And and we can
765
00:12:14,416 --> 00:12:14,666
you know
766
00:12:14,666 --> 00:12:15,375
Bitcoin is like
767
00:12:15,375 --> 00:12:15,833
the bridge
768
00:12:15,833 --> 00:12:16,833
between the aisle
769
00:12:16,833 --> 00:12:17,500
to actually
770
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:18,500
getting society,
771
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:19,791
getting humanity
772
00:12:19,791 --> 00:12:20,833
into this spot
773
00:12:20,833 --> 00:12:21,416
that is
774
00:12:21,416 --> 00:12:23,000
that is better.
775
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,416
And I'm.
776
00:12:23,416 --> 00:12:24,166
Or is the bridge
777
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:25,500
to shore from
778
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:26,458
from the
779
00:12:26,458 --> 00:12:27,416
or the bridge
780
00:12:27,416 --> 00:12:28,416
to the lifeboat
781
00:12:28,416 --> 00:12:29,625
rather than
782
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:30,375
within the aisles?
783
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:31,083
It's away
784
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,458
from both sides
785
00:12:32,458 --> 00:12:32,916
of the aisle.
786
00:12:32,916 --> 00:12:34,958
Yes. Yes, absolutely.
787
00:12:34,958 --> 00:12:35,583
Pick your brain
788
00:12:35,583 --> 00:12:37,041
on one thing.
789
00:12:37,041 --> 00:12:37,958
You mentioned like
790
00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:39,041
mass adoption.
791
00:12:39,041 --> 00:12:39,458
So.
792
00:12:39,458 --> 00:12:40,458
So here's a,
793
00:12:40,458 --> 00:12:41,208
a slightly
794
00:12:41,208 --> 00:12:43,166
unpopular opinion.
795
00:12:43,166 --> 00:12:44,000
And,
796
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:44,833
I think it's
797
00:12:44,833 --> 00:12:45,708
more important
798
00:12:45,708 --> 00:12:46,833
for all the money
799
00:12:46,833 --> 00:12:47,916
to adopt Bitcoin
800
00:12:47,916 --> 00:12:48,416
than for all
801
00:12:48,416 --> 00:12:48,958
the people
802
00:12:48,958 --> 00:12:50,000
to adopt Bitcoin.
803
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,583
And the reason
804
00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:51,125
I say that
805
00:12:51,125 --> 00:12:51,583
is that
806
00:12:51,583 --> 00:12:52,708
the more wealth
807
00:12:52,708 --> 00:12:53,541
that is
808
00:12:53,541 --> 00:12:54,333
held in
809
00:12:54,333 --> 00:12:55,708
actual self-custody,
810
00:12:56,833 --> 00:12:57,791
as opposed to
811
00:12:57,791 --> 00:13:00,166
ETFs and all of this,
812
00:13:00,166 --> 00:13:00,666
other
813
00:13:00,666 --> 00:13:03,666
fiat world nonsense,
814
00:13:03,666 --> 00:13:04,916
you know,
815
00:13:04,916 --> 00:13:06,333
transitory things
816
00:13:06,333 --> 00:13:07,083
from, from
817
00:13:07,083 --> 00:13:08,250
the legacy system to,
818
00:13:08,250 --> 00:13:08,708
to hyper
819
00:13:08,708 --> 00:13:09,750
bitcoin ization.
820
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:11,458
I think the, the,
821
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:13,125
the more people
822
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:13,500
that are
823
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:13,958
actually
824
00:13:13,958 --> 00:13:14,791
self-sovereign
825
00:13:14,791 --> 00:13:15,750
and have
826
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:16,625
a lot of bitcoin
827
00:13:16,625 --> 00:13:17,833
and self-custody their
828
00:13:17,833 --> 00:13:18,583
are the
829
00:13:18,583 --> 00:13:19,708
the more powerful
830
00:13:19,708 --> 00:13:20,375
we become
831
00:13:20,375 --> 00:13:22,166
as a political force
832
00:13:22,166 --> 00:13:23,041
in ourselves.
833
00:13:23,041 --> 00:13:23,875
Like that's
834
00:13:23,875 --> 00:13:24,541
where we can really
835
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:27,500
start influencing,
836
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:28,916
you know, regulators
837
00:13:28,916 --> 00:13:29,875
and lawmakers
838
00:13:29,875 --> 00:13:31,000
and such like,
839
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,958
and really
840
00:13:33,958 --> 00:13:34,750
pay ourselves
841
00:13:34,750 --> 00:13:35,666
off the trouble of
842
00:13:35,666 --> 00:13:36,125
because at
843
00:13:36,125 --> 00:13:36,750
the end of the day,
844
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:37,166
that's what
845
00:13:37,166 --> 00:13:37,916
it's all about.
846
00:13:37,916 --> 00:13:38,583
If you got
847
00:13:38,583 --> 00:13:39,208
enough money,
848
00:13:39,208 --> 00:13:39,708
you can stay
849
00:13:39,708 --> 00:13:40,333
out of trouble.
850
00:13:40,333 --> 00:13:40,875
You can pay
851
00:13:40,875 --> 00:13:41,375
for your own
852
00:13:41,375 --> 00:13:41,666
fucking
853
00:13:41,666 --> 00:13:42,875
defense system,
854
00:13:42,875 --> 00:13:44,000
like guess.
855
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,416
And I
856
00:13:44,416 --> 00:13:45,125
and I realize
857
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:45,916
I swear a lot here,
858
00:13:45,916 --> 00:13:46,416
but what are
859
00:13:46,416 --> 00:13:48,041
your thoughts? Yeah.
860
00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:48,416
So what do you
861
00:13:48,416 --> 00:13:48,875
what do you mean
862
00:13:48,875 --> 00:13:49,333
exactly
863
00:13:49,333 --> 00:13:49,916
by all the like,
864
00:13:49,916 --> 00:13:50,541
what's the difference
865
00:13:50,541 --> 00:13:51,583
between the money
866
00:13:51,583 --> 00:13:52,708
and the people?
867
00:13:52,708 --> 00:13:54,333
So, so
868
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:55,416
I, I don't view
869
00:13:55,416 --> 00:13:56,041
Bitcoin as
870
00:13:56,041 --> 00:13:57,333
being for everybody,
871
00:13:57,333 --> 00:13:58,708
but for anybody
872
00:13:58,708 --> 00:13:59,416
like Bitcoin
873
00:13:59,416 --> 00:14:00,791
is for anybody
874
00:14:00,791 --> 00:14:01,916
because not
875
00:14:01,916 --> 00:14:04,458
everyone is suitable
876
00:14:05,583 --> 00:14:06,916
or capable
877
00:14:06,916 --> 00:14:08,250
of of the
878
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:08,958
taking care
879
00:14:08,958 --> 00:14:10,208
of their own shit.
880
00:14:10,208 --> 00:14:10,666
Like there's
881
00:14:10,666 --> 00:14:11,333
a lot of people
882
00:14:11,333 --> 00:14:13,125
that sort of need,
883
00:14:13,125 --> 00:14:13,833
a provider
884
00:14:13,833 --> 00:14:14,625
and that could be
885
00:14:14,625 --> 00:14:15,875
anything from
886
00:14:15,875 --> 00:14:17,291
your senile mum
887
00:14:17,291 --> 00:14:18,666
to your kids
888
00:14:18,666 --> 00:14:19,458
to to
889
00:14:19,458 --> 00:14:20,375
whoever else
890
00:14:20,375 --> 00:14:21,208
in your family
891
00:14:21,208 --> 00:14:22,708
needs your support.
892
00:14:22,708 --> 00:14:22,833
Well,
893
00:14:22,833 --> 00:14:23,458
what I, what
894
00:14:23,458 --> 00:14:24,166
I'm sure of
895
00:14:24,166 --> 00:14:26,791
is that the, you know,
896
00:14:26,791 --> 00:14:28,625
supportive of
897
00:14:28,625 --> 00:14:30,333
head of the family
898
00:14:30,333 --> 00:14:32,250
is a more suitable
899
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:32,958
provider
900
00:14:32,958 --> 00:14:33,750
of that stuff
901
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:35,000
than the state.
902
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,750
What what what
903
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:36,208
we've done
904
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:36,875
today is that
905
00:14:36,875 --> 00:14:37,833
we've outsourced
906
00:14:37,833 --> 00:14:39,000
all the responsibility
907
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,541
to the state.
908
00:14:39,541 --> 00:14:41,250
So everyone becomes,
909
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:42,125
a victim
910
00:14:42,125 --> 00:14:42,583
because it's
911
00:14:42,583 --> 00:14:43,250
profitable to be
912
00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:44,166
victim like,
913
00:14:44,166 --> 00:14:46,416
everyone becomes a,
914
00:14:46,416 --> 00:14:47,375
benefit
915
00:14:47,375 --> 00:14:49,125
instead of a provider.
916
00:14:49,125 --> 00:14:50,291
And I think that's,
917
00:14:50,291 --> 00:14:52,125
like the real thing
918
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:52,708
to fix here,
919
00:14:52,708 --> 00:14:53,666
to get away from that.
920
00:14:53,666 --> 00:14:54,000
So that
921
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:54,916
responsibility,
922
00:14:56,375 --> 00:14:57,208
inherently
923
00:14:57,208 --> 00:14:58,583
responsible people
924
00:14:58,583 --> 00:15:00,583
can start taking some,
925
00:15:00,583 --> 00:15:01,250
some damn
926
00:15:01,250 --> 00:15:02,125
responsibility
927
00:15:02,125 --> 00:15:02,958
for their own lives
928
00:15:02,958 --> 00:15:03,916
and their own,
929
00:15:03,916 --> 00:15:04,708
happiness like,
930
00:15:04,708 --> 00:15:05,041
and their
931
00:15:05,041 --> 00:15:07,500
and their families,
932
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:08,541
because it's
933
00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:09,375
the freedom
934
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:10,458
responsibility coin.
935
00:15:10,458 --> 00:15:11,666
So, so yeah,
936
00:15:11,666 --> 00:15:12,416
that's what I mean
937
00:15:12,416 --> 00:15:13,791
by the money
938
00:15:13,791 --> 00:15:14,708
getting into Bitcoin
939
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:17,708
is that the more
940
00:15:18,416 --> 00:15:20,208
the more influence
941
00:15:20,208 --> 00:15:20,791
you have over
942
00:15:20,791 --> 00:15:21,500
other people.
943
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,041
So like the more
944
00:15:23,041 --> 00:15:23,875
which is
945
00:15:23,875 --> 00:15:24,875
sort of equivalent
946
00:15:24,875 --> 00:15:25,375
to how much
947
00:15:25,375 --> 00:15:26,083
wealth you have,
948
00:15:26,083 --> 00:15:26,791
because you can
949
00:15:26,791 --> 00:15:27,458
use that wealth
950
00:15:27,458 --> 00:15:28,333
to buy stuff.
951
00:15:28,333 --> 00:15:29,166
And by doing that
952
00:15:29,166 --> 00:15:29,916
you sort of vote
953
00:15:29,916 --> 00:15:31,083
with your wallet
954
00:15:31,083 --> 00:15:32,666
on what gets,
955
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:33,208
promoted in
956
00:15:33,208 --> 00:15:34,083
the market.
957
00:15:34,083 --> 00:15:35,375
So, so I think it's,
958
00:15:35,375 --> 00:15:36,000
it's more
959
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,833
important for
960
00:15:37,833 --> 00:15:38,791
someone like Elon
961
00:15:38,791 --> 00:15:40,875
Musk to become,
962
00:15:40,875 --> 00:15:43,083
orange peel than,
963
00:15:43,083 --> 00:15:45,333
than your average
964
00:15:45,333 --> 00:15:46,708
truck driver, Igor.
965
00:15:46,708 --> 00:15:47,458
The truck driver
966
00:15:47,458 --> 00:15:49,916
in Canada, like,
967
00:15:49,916 --> 00:15:50,750
so, but,
968
00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:52,583
and this might be,
969
00:15:52,583 --> 00:15:53,250
somewhat,
970
00:15:54,458 --> 00:15:55,291
controversial
971
00:15:55,291 --> 00:15:56,375
take, but I'd
972
00:15:56,375 --> 00:15:56,916
just like to
973
00:15:56,916 --> 00:15:57,416
hear your thoughts
974
00:15:57,416 --> 00:15:58,166
on it.
975
00:15:58,166 --> 00:15:58,458
Yeah.
976
00:15:58,458 --> 00:15:58,708
I mean,
977
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:00,750
I think that you're
978
00:16:00,750 --> 00:16:01,625
probably on to it
979
00:16:01,625 --> 00:16:01,833
with.
980
00:16:01,833 --> 00:16:02,250
It's that
981
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:03,583
it's for anybody.
982
00:16:03,583 --> 00:16:05,916
Not not everybody.
983
00:16:05,916 --> 00:16:07,166
But I think that it,
984
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:08,041
it employs
985
00:16:08,041 --> 00:16:09,416
kind of a
986
00:16:09,416 --> 00:16:10,958
natural growth and,
987
00:16:10,958 --> 00:16:11,583
or natural
988
00:16:11,583 --> 00:16:13,583
selection behind
989
00:16:13,583 --> 00:16:14,375
who does or
990
00:16:14,375 --> 00:16:15,500
who can adopt it.
991
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:15,791
I think
992
00:16:15,791 --> 00:16:17,208
that eventually
993
00:16:17,208 --> 00:16:19,125
if you cannot adopt
994
00:16:19,125 --> 00:16:22,125
a Bitcoin standard,
995
00:16:22,333 --> 00:16:24,666
you're kind of toast
996
00:16:24,666 --> 00:16:25,416
if you can't
997
00:16:25,416 --> 00:16:26,041
figure out
998
00:16:26,041 --> 00:16:27,625
how to self-custody,
999
00:16:27,625 --> 00:16:28,166
you will
1000
00:16:28,166 --> 00:16:30,125
inevitably become
1001
00:16:30,125 --> 00:16:31,541
a, a slave.
1002
00:16:31,541 --> 00:16:32,375
But I but I,
1003
00:16:32,375 --> 00:16:34,541
I think that
1004
00:16:34,541 --> 00:16:36,750
the incentive to learn
1005
00:16:36,750 --> 00:16:39,166
Bitcoin is so great
1006
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:40,166
that 1 to
1007
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:41,541
2 generations
1008
00:16:41,541 --> 00:16:43,291
and you will be
1009
00:16:43,291 --> 00:16:45,166
in fantastic like the
1010
00:16:45,166 --> 00:16:45,750
I think it's just
1011
00:16:45,750 --> 00:16:47,458
it's adopt or die.
1012
00:16:47,458 --> 00:16:48,208
And I
1013
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:49,166
think that you're
1014
00:16:49,166 --> 00:16:50,791
probably correct
1015
00:16:50,791 --> 00:16:51,666
as far as who's
1016
00:16:51,666 --> 00:16:52,833
more important,
1017
00:16:52,833 --> 00:16:53,791
it's hard to say.
1018
00:16:53,791 --> 00:16:55,416
I think that,
1019
00:16:55,416 --> 00:16:56,166
you know,
1020
00:16:56,166 --> 00:16:57,208
what's better, the
1021
00:16:57,208 --> 00:16:58,875
smart man with,
1022
00:16:59,833 --> 00:17:00,416
you know,
1023
00:17:00,416 --> 00:17:01,750
this, the smart man
1024
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:03,458
who can gain nothing,
1025
00:17:03,458 --> 00:17:04,875
or the hungry
1026
00:17:04,875 --> 00:17:05,583
man who has
1027
00:17:05,583 --> 00:17:06,958
everything to gain.
1028
00:17:06,958 --> 00:17:08,458
And it's it's
1029
00:17:08,458 --> 00:17:09,500
it's an interesting
1030
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:10,083
kind of thought
1031
00:17:10,083 --> 00:17:12,375
exercise where,
1032
00:17:12,375 --> 00:17:13,708
you know, I,
1033
00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:15,000
I look back at my life
1034
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,250
and who
1035
00:17:15,250 --> 00:17:16,041
I've worked with.
1036
00:17:16,041 --> 00:17:17,458
And sometimes
1037
00:17:17,458 --> 00:17:18,208
the smartest isn't
1038
00:17:18,208 --> 00:17:18,666
always the
1039
00:17:18,666 --> 00:17:19,500
best choice.
1040
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:20,000
They're not always
1041
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,750
going to have your,
1042
00:17:20,750 --> 00:17:22,875
your back.
1043
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:23,541
It's definitely
1044
00:17:23,541 --> 00:17:24,000
the one
1045
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,166
that is hungriest
1046
00:17:26,166 --> 00:17:26,583
with the
1047
00:17:26,583 --> 00:17:27,750
aligned incentives
1048
00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:28,166
that are
1049
00:17:28,166 --> 00:17:28,416
that it's
1050
00:17:28,416 --> 00:17:31,416
going to be best,
1051
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:32,166
for whatever
1052
00:17:32,166 --> 00:17:33,875
I needed best to be.
1053
00:17:33,875 --> 00:17:36,875
And so I feel like,
1054
00:17:36,875 --> 00:17:37,250
you know,
1055
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:38,666
certainly, Elon
1056
00:17:38,666 --> 00:17:39,875
getting orange pilled
1057
00:17:39,875 --> 00:17:41,875
would be positive.
1058
00:17:41,875 --> 00:17:42,416
He's got a big
1059
00:17:42,416 --> 00:17:43,083
influence
1060
00:17:43,083 --> 00:17:43,375
and lots of
1061
00:17:43,375 --> 00:17:44,666
other people.
1062
00:17:44,666 --> 00:17:45,416
But I wonder
1063
00:17:45,416 --> 00:17:46,583
if that actually hurts
1064
00:17:46,583 --> 00:17:47,916
because
1065
00:17:47,916 --> 00:17:48,541
people just do
1066
00:17:48,541 --> 00:17:49,500
what Elon says.
1067
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:50,166
They don't actually
1068
00:17:50,166 --> 00:17:51,333
go down the orange
1069
00:17:51,333 --> 00:17:52,916
pill rabbit hole.
1070
00:17:52,916 --> 00:17:53,250
No.
1071
00:17:53,250 --> 00:17:53,666
And this is
1072
00:17:53,666 --> 00:17:54,375
so interesting
1073
00:17:54,375 --> 00:17:54,958
because the same
1074
00:17:54,958 --> 00:17:55,750
is true for like,
1075
00:17:57,333 --> 00:17:58,291
this, this,
1076
00:17:58,291 --> 00:18:01,291
this question of,
1077
00:18:01,625 --> 00:18:02,916
what would you prefer,
1078
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:03,416
a pro
1079
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:04,791
bitcoin politician
1080
00:18:04,791 --> 00:18:05,416
or an anti
1081
00:18:05,416 --> 00:18:07,208
bitcoin politician?
1082
00:18:07,208 --> 00:18:08,000
Because there are
1083
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,791
there are two sides
1084
00:18:08,791 --> 00:18:09,666
to that coin. Right.
1085
00:18:09,666 --> 00:18:10,916
Like if, if,
1086
00:18:10,916 --> 00:18:11,916
if you let a
1087
00:18:11,916 --> 00:18:13,375
politician dictate
1088
00:18:13,375 --> 00:18:14,375
whether you can
1089
00:18:14,375 --> 00:18:15,916
or cannot run a node,
1090
00:18:15,916 --> 00:18:17,166
you're sort of
1091
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:18,333
missing the point.
1092
00:18:18,333 --> 00:18:19,416
The point is that
1093
00:18:19,416 --> 00:18:20,458
I'm running the node
1094
00:18:20,458 --> 00:18:21,041
because
1095
00:18:21,041 --> 00:18:22,125
because fuck you,
1096
00:18:22,125 --> 00:18:22,541
I won't do
1097
00:18:22,541 --> 00:18:23,208
what you tell me.
1098
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:23,666
That's the
1099
00:18:23,666 --> 00:18:24,041
that's the
1100
00:18:24,041 --> 00:18:25,541
reason like,
1101
00:18:25,541 --> 00:18:26,166
and you don't
1102
00:18:26,166 --> 00:18:27,083
really get there
1103
00:18:27,083 --> 00:18:28,208
if it's not
1104
00:18:28,208 --> 00:18:29,083
permissionless,
1105
00:18:29,083 --> 00:18:30,875
if it's permissioned.
1106
00:18:30,875 --> 00:18:31,416
Totally.
1107
00:18:31,416 --> 00:18:32,583
And, and
1108
00:18:32,583 --> 00:18:33,125
but the,
1109
00:18:33,125 --> 00:18:33,916
the other side to
1110
00:18:33,916 --> 00:18:35,166
that is like this pro
1111
00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:36,458
bitcoin stuff.
1112
00:18:36,458 --> 00:18:37,333
I feel like we
1113
00:18:37,333 --> 00:18:38,375
as Bitcoiners
1114
00:18:38,375 --> 00:18:39,375
have moved very,
1115
00:18:39,375 --> 00:18:39,916
very quickly
1116
00:18:39,916 --> 00:18:40,666
to just LARPing
1117
00:18:40,666 --> 00:18:41,750
for the state.
1118
00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:44,291
And it, it, it
1119
00:18:44,291 --> 00:18:45,583
it is worrisome to me.
1120
00:18:45,583 --> 00:18:47,291
I share these same
1121
00:18:47,291 --> 00:18:48,416
these same convictions
1122
00:18:48,416 --> 00:18:48,666
and these
1123
00:18:48,666 --> 00:18:49,541
same worries.
1124
00:18:50,916 --> 00:18:51,750
I think and
1125
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:52,625
it inevitably
1126
00:18:52,625 --> 00:18:53,458
doesn't matter.
1127
00:18:53,458 --> 00:18:55,166
I think that what
1128
00:18:55,166 --> 00:18:55,833
the release
1129
00:18:55,833 --> 00:18:56,458
that's happening
1130
00:18:56,458 --> 00:18:57,250
right now
1131
00:18:57,250 --> 00:18:58,666
universally
1132
00:18:58,666 --> 00:18:59,666
is Bitcoiners
1133
00:18:59,666 --> 00:19:00,250
being told
1134
00:19:00,250 --> 00:19:01,041
they were wrong
1135
00:19:01,041 --> 00:19:02,208
for so long,
1136
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:02,708
being told
1137
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:03,541
they were foolish
1138
00:19:03,541 --> 00:19:05,666
for so for so long.
1139
00:19:05,666 --> 00:19:06,333
And now what
1140
00:19:06,333 --> 00:19:07,000
you're suggesting
1141
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:07,500
the Elon
1142
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:09,000
Musks of the world
1143
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:09,875
are like,
1144
00:19:09,875 --> 00:19:10,666
oh, this guy
1145
00:19:10,666 --> 00:19:11,375
has had it right
1146
00:19:11,375 --> 00:19:12,666
the whole time.
1147
00:19:12,666 --> 00:19:13,791
And we're like,
1148
00:19:13,791 --> 00:19:14,125
you know,
1149
00:19:14,125 --> 00:19:15,000
for some reason,
1150
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,625
all of a sudden
1151
00:19:15,625 --> 00:19:16,500
the validation
1152
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:16,958
that we
1153
00:19:16,958 --> 00:19:17,458
apparently didn't
1154
00:19:17,458 --> 00:19:19,291
care about and the,
1155
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:20,250
you know, the pat
1156
00:19:20,250 --> 00:19:20,833
on the back
1157
00:19:20,833 --> 00:19:21,750
that we, you know,
1158
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:22,208
I thought
1159
00:19:22,208 --> 00:19:23,958
didn't care about,
1160
00:19:23,958 --> 00:19:24,416
is very,
1161
00:19:24,416 --> 00:19:25,416
very important to us.
1162
00:19:25,416 --> 00:19:26,458
And we're like more,
1163
00:19:26,458 --> 00:19:27,125
more, more,
1164
00:19:27,125 --> 00:19:28,208
more, more.
1165
00:19:28,208 --> 00:19:28,916
And it's,
1166
00:19:28,916 --> 00:19:29,416
yeah, it's
1167
00:19:29,416 --> 00:19:29,875
an interesting
1168
00:19:29,875 --> 00:19:31,166
dynamic.
1169
00:19:31,166 --> 00:19:31,416
Yeah.
1170
00:19:31,416 --> 00:19:31,916
And it's
1171
00:19:31,916 --> 00:19:32,541
kind of sad
1172
00:19:32,541 --> 00:19:33,750
because I hate,
1173
00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:34,833
to see Bitcoiners
1174
00:19:34,833 --> 00:19:35,458
sucking up to
1175
00:19:35,458 --> 00:19:37,708
politicians and, Yeah.
1176
00:19:37,708 --> 00:19:38,916
And I understand
1177
00:19:38,916 --> 00:19:39,875
the appeal of Trump,
1178
00:19:39,875 --> 00:19:41,041
like, because he's,
1179
00:19:42,083 --> 00:19:43,083
in many ways the
1180
00:19:43,083 --> 00:19:44,083
opposite of
1181
00:19:44,083 --> 00:19:44,916
a politician.
1182
00:19:44,916 --> 00:19:45,416
Like his
1183
00:19:45,416 --> 00:19:46,166
his rhetoric
1184
00:19:46,166 --> 00:19:47,166
is like the opposite
1185
00:19:47,166 --> 00:19:47,541
of what
1186
00:19:47,541 --> 00:19:48,833
a quote unquote
1187
00:19:48,833 --> 00:19:49,833
normal politician
1188
00:19:49,833 --> 00:19:50,250
would say.
1189
00:19:50,250 --> 00:19:50,958
And I can see
1190
00:19:50,958 --> 00:19:51,958
why people like that.
1191
00:19:51,958 --> 00:19:52,916
It's the rebellion
1192
00:19:52,916 --> 00:19:53,958
of the of the thing.
1193
00:19:53,958 --> 00:19:54,666
But but
1194
00:19:54,666 --> 00:19:55,375
just the other day
1195
00:19:55,375 --> 00:19:56,666
he tweeted something
1196
00:19:56,666 --> 00:19:57,625
like,
1197
00:19:57,625 --> 00:20:00,625
Bitcoin's over 100 K,
1198
00:20:00,875 --> 00:20:02,458
dollars.
1199
00:20:02,458 --> 00:20:02,875
You're well,
1200
00:20:02,875 --> 00:20:04,291
you're welcome.
1201
00:20:04,291 --> 00:20:05,458
And what he doesn't
1202
00:20:05,458 --> 00:20:07,375
realize like, like
1203
00:20:07,375 --> 00:20:07,833
Donald.
1204
00:20:07,833 --> 00:20:09,166
You're welcome.
1205
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:09,958
Yeah.
1206
00:20:09,958 --> 00:20:11,458
You're in debt to us,
1207
00:20:11,458 --> 00:20:12,166
not the other way
1208
00:20:12,166 --> 00:20:12,541
around.
1209
00:20:12,541 --> 00:20:13,375
Like Bitcoin
1210
00:20:13,375 --> 00:20:14,333
helped you
1211
00:20:14,333 --> 00:20:15,125
more than you
1212
00:20:15,125 --> 00:20:15,750
helped it.
1213
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:16,250
Sure,
1214
00:20:16,250 --> 00:20:16,916
there's a
1215
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:18,125
bull bull market
1216
00:20:18,125 --> 00:20:19,166
and everything,
1217
00:20:19,166 --> 00:20:20,250
but the fundamentals
1218
00:20:20,250 --> 00:20:21,333
are still the same.
1219
00:20:21,333 --> 00:20:22,291
And it's
1220
00:20:22,291 --> 00:20:22,875
you are going to
1221
00:20:22,875 --> 00:20:23,708
be the dinosaur.
1222
00:20:23,708 --> 00:20:24,208
Like you're
1223
00:20:24,208 --> 00:20:24,916
the one facing
1224
00:20:24,916 --> 00:20:25,833
the asteroid here.
1225
00:20:25,833 --> 00:20:26,500
The asteroid
1226
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:28,125
doesn't care,
1227
00:20:28,125 --> 00:20:29,208
that you think
1228
00:20:29,208 --> 00:20:29,875
that you made
1229
00:20:29,875 --> 00:20:31,041
the asteroid stronger
1230
00:20:31,041 --> 00:20:32,291
or weaker, like
1231
00:20:32,291 --> 00:20:33,000
the asteroid
1232
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,291
is still
1233
00:20:33,291 --> 00:20:33,958
coming for you,
1234
00:20:33,958 --> 00:20:34,166
and you're
1235
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:35,375
still a dinosaur,
1236
00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:36,583
like.
1237
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:37,708
So 100%.
1238
00:20:37,708 --> 00:20:39,708
Well, yeah, he. Yeah.
1239
00:20:39,708 --> 00:20:40,000
I mean,
1240
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,875
probably like
1241
00:20:40,875 --> 00:20:41,708
to be fair
1242
00:20:41,708 --> 00:20:43,500
in, in the short
1243
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:44,875
term, like,
1244
00:20:44,875 --> 00:20:46,041
it certainly lines up
1245
00:20:46,041 --> 00:20:47,333
that the pro Bitcoin
1246
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:48,208
administration
1247
00:20:48,208 --> 00:20:48,916
is giving
1248
00:20:48,916 --> 00:20:51,333
Wall Street the,
1249
00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:53,000
you know the courage
1250
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,250
or whatever
1251
00:20:54,250 --> 00:20:54,833
to to
1252
00:20:54,833 --> 00:20:56,041
enter the market. But
1253
00:20:57,125 --> 00:20:57,750
I don't think
1254
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:59,541
bitcoin needed that.
1255
00:20:59,541 --> 00:20:59,916
I think
1256
00:20:59,916 --> 00:21:01,708
the price of Bitcoin
1257
00:21:01,708 --> 00:21:03,750
probably needed that
1258
00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:04,833
in the short term.
1259
00:21:04,833 --> 00:21:05,833
But I think
1260
00:21:05,833 --> 00:21:07,708
oh on the macro
1261
00:21:07,708 --> 00:21:11,416
like my kids in 2078,
1262
00:21:12,208 --> 00:21:13,166
the price of Bitcoin
1263
00:21:13,166 --> 00:21:13,916
doesn't care
1264
00:21:13,916 --> 00:21:15,000
who the president was
1265
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,208
in 2025.
1266
00:21:16,208 --> 00:21:16,625
Like it's
1267
00:21:16,625 --> 00:21:17,541
just it's
1268
00:21:17,541 --> 00:21:19,125
a non it's a non-issue
1269
00:21:19,125 --> 00:21:19,833
for Bitcoin
1270
00:21:19,833 --> 00:21:20,541
on the long term.
1271
00:21:20,541 --> 00:21:22,083
So on the micro
1272
00:21:22,083 --> 00:21:22,833
you know probably if
1273
00:21:22,833 --> 00:21:24,083
Kamala gets in
1274
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:24,958
Bitcoin dumps
1275
00:21:24,958 --> 00:21:27,958
because like
1276
00:21:27,958 --> 00:21:28,375
you know
1277
00:21:28,375 --> 00:21:29,541
she's a communist
1278
00:21:29,541 --> 00:21:30,541
that hates freedom.
1279
00:21:30,541 --> 00:21:32,041
And so freedom money
1280
00:21:32,041 --> 00:21:32,666
doesn't do well
1281
00:21:32,666 --> 00:21:32,916
under that
1282
00:21:32,916 --> 00:21:33,916
administration
1283
00:21:33,916 --> 00:21:35,666
on the micro.
1284
00:21:35,666 --> 00:21:37,000
That said
1285
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,416
I think
1286
00:21:37,416 --> 00:21:38,375
the three of us
1287
00:21:38,375 --> 00:21:38,833
and I'll speak
1288
00:21:38,833 --> 00:21:39,416
for you guys
1289
00:21:39,416 --> 00:21:39,958
and you can tell me
1290
00:21:39,958 --> 00:21:41,208
where I went wrong,
1291
00:21:41,208 --> 00:21:42,791
is we don't really
1292
00:21:42,791 --> 00:21:43,875
the short term price
1293
00:21:43,875 --> 00:21:44,291
is less
1294
00:21:44,291 --> 00:21:45,541
important to me
1295
00:21:45,541 --> 00:21:45,958
probably than
1296
00:21:45,958 --> 00:21:47,208
it's ever been,
1297
00:21:47,208 --> 00:21:47,666
because I'm
1298
00:21:47,666 --> 00:21:49,583
so focused on
1299
00:21:49,583 --> 00:21:51,541
building responsible
1300
00:21:51,541 --> 00:21:53,125
children and heirs
1301
00:21:53,125 --> 00:21:53,583
that can
1302
00:21:53,583 --> 00:21:54,125
that can
1303
00:21:54,125 --> 00:21:55,125
take the torch,
1304
00:21:55,125 --> 00:21:56,250
so to speak.
1305
00:21:56,250 --> 00:21:57,666
And frankly,
1306
00:21:57,666 --> 00:21:59,958
you know, the
1307
00:21:59,958 --> 00:22:00,333
the higher
1308
00:22:00,333 --> 00:22:00,791
the price of
1309
00:22:00,791 --> 00:22:01,583
Bitcoin goes,
1310
00:22:01,583 --> 00:22:01,916
probably the
1311
00:22:01,916 --> 00:22:02,625
more difficult
1312
00:22:02,625 --> 00:22:03,833
that's going to be
1313
00:22:03,833 --> 00:22:05,250
to like teach
1314
00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:06,416
that responsibility
1315
00:22:06,416 --> 00:22:06,958
and the more
1316
00:22:06,958 --> 00:22:07,500
discipline that
1317
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:08,291
will be required.
1318
00:22:08,291 --> 00:22:08,791
And so,
1319
00:22:09,791 --> 00:22:11,416
yeah, I think that,
1320
00:22:11,416 --> 00:22:11,833
you know,
1321
00:22:11,833 --> 00:22:12,416
Trump taking
1322
00:22:12,416 --> 00:22:13,916
credit is horribly
1323
00:22:13,916 --> 00:22:15,750
un bitcoin.
1324
00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:17,291
It's horribly,
1325
00:22:17,291 --> 00:22:18,666
you know, shows
1326
00:22:18,666 --> 00:22:19,625
and I and I watched
1327
00:22:19,625 --> 00:22:20,583
both him and RFK
1328
00:22:20,583 --> 00:22:21,375
and Nashville.
1329
00:22:21,375 --> 00:22:22,291
Trump has no idea
1330
00:22:22,291 --> 00:22:22,458
what he's
1331
00:22:22,458 --> 00:22:23,708
talking about.
1332
00:22:23,708 --> 00:22:24,791
He's he's reading
1333
00:22:24,791 --> 00:22:25,708
a script
1334
00:22:25,708 --> 00:22:26,375
that someone
1335
00:22:26,375 --> 00:22:28,083
semi knowledgeable
1336
00:22:28,083 --> 00:22:29,750
wrote for him.
1337
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:30,291
He's got he's
1338
00:22:30,291 --> 00:22:31,916
got no clue.
1339
00:22:31,916 --> 00:22:33,416
RFK, though,
1340
00:22:33,416 --> 00:22:35,083
he has it.
1341
00:22:35,083 --> 00:22:36,333
RFK is fully
1342
00:22:36,333 --> 00:22:37,083
in the trenches.
1343
00:22:37,083 --> 00:22:38,000
He is with us.
1344
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,750
He understands the big
1345
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:41,166
the big.
1346
00:22:41,166 --> 00:22:41,375
Yeah,
1347
00:22:41,375 --> 00:22:41,791
he understands
1348
00:22:41,791 --> 00:22:42,833
the protocol and and
1349
00:22:42,833 --> 00:22:43,166
and the
1350
00:22:43,166 --> 00:22:45,166
importance of it.
1351
00:22:45,166 --> 00:22:45,625
And that's
1352
00:22:45,625 --> 00:22:46,333
cool to see,
1353
00:22:46,333 --> 00:22:47,875
but I think largely
1354
00:22:47,875 --> 00:22:48,500
irrelevant to
1355
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:49,250
the macro.
1356
00:22:49,250 --> 00:22:50,500
Yeah, I totally agree.
1357
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:51,083
And like.
1358
00:22:51,083 --> 00:22:52,833
But for all
1359
00:22:52,833 --> 00:22:53,958
the Trump tweet,
1360
00:22:53,958 --> 00:22:54,791
don't get me wrong,
1361
00:22:54,791 --> 00:22:56,500
I, I still,
1362
00:22:56,500 --> 00:22:57,375
appreciate
1363
00:22:57,375 --> 00:22:58,541
the trolling
1364
00:22:58,541 --> 00:22:59,375
nature of
1365
00:22:59,375 --> 00:23:00,333
his character
1366
00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:00,958
like that.
1367
00:23:00,958 --> 00:23:01,375
He,
1368
00:23:01,375 --> 00:23:02,791
he sees an opportunity
1369
00:23:02,791 --> 00:23:03,916
to troll someone
1370
00:23:03,916 --> 00:23:04,791
and it just
1371
00:23:04,791 --> 00:23:06,333
it regardless of what
1372
00:23:06,333 --> 00:23:06,833
people are going
1373
00:23:06,833 --> 00:23:07,916
to think about him.
1374
00:23:07,916 --> 00:23:08,583
It's fun to.
1375
00:23:08,583 --> 00:23:09,708
See that, right?
1376
00:23:09,708 --> 00:23:12,083
Yeah. Unprecedented.
1377
00:23:12,083 --> 00:23:12,458
Nice.
1378
00:23:13,708 --> 00:23:14,583
Yeah.
1379
00:23:14,583 --> 00:23:14,916
No.
1380
00:23:14,916 --> 00:23:15,416
So, so
1381
00:23:15,416 --> 00:23:16,458
so it's
1382
00:23:16,458 --> 00:23:18,666
still very funny, but.
1383
00:23:18,666 --> 00:23:19,041
Yeah.
1384
00:23:19,041 --> 00:23:20,250
And I totally agree.
1385
00:23:20,250 --> 00:23:20,958
This is for the
1386
00:23:20,958 --> 00:23:21,625
the long run
1387
00:23:21,625 --> 00:23:22,250
and everything.
1388
00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:22,958
The way I look at
1389
00:23:22,958 --> 00:23:24,750
it is like,
1390
00:23:24,750 --> 00:23:25,416
this thing is
1391
00:23:25,416 --> 00:23:26,458
going to play out
1392
00:23:26,458 --> 00:23:28,875
in one way or another,
1393
00:23:28,875 --> 00:23:29,458
and we're living
1394
00:23:29,458 --> 00:23:30,208
in the timeline
1395
00:23:30,208 --> 00:23:30,791
that we do.
1396
00:23:30,791 --> 00:23:32,708
We can't really alter
1397
00:23:32,708 --> 00:23:33,875
what happens.
1398
00:23:33,875 --> 00:23:35,000
We can alter move.
1399
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,291
We can influence
1400
00:23:36,291 --> 00:23:37,083
our friends here
1401
00:23:37,083 --> 00:23:37,458
and there,
1402
00:23:37,458 --> 00:23:38,458
and we can do this
1403
00:23:38,458 --> 00:23:39,333
and that.
1404
00:23:39,333 --> 00:23:40,166
But on a
1405
00:23:40,166 --> 00:23:40,916
grander scale,
1406
00:23:40,916 --> 00:23:42,041
we all we can do
1407
00:23:42,041 --> 00:23:42,875
is just sit back
1408
00:23:42,875 --> 00:23:43,708
and enjoy the show
1409
00:23:43,708 --> 00:23:44,666
and grab the popcorn
1410
00:23:44,666 --> 00:23:46,541
and see that, like,
1411
00:23:46,541 --> 00:23:47,375
and that's the way
1412
00:23:47,375 --> 00:23:48,125
to tackle this.
1413
00:23:48,125 --> 00:23:49,541
Just relax,
1414
00:23:49,541 --> 00:23:50,666
keep on hodling.
1415
00:23:50,666 --> 00:23:52,208
Stay humble.
1416
00:23:52,208 --> 00:23:53,333
Stack those SATs
1417
00:23:53,333 --> 00:23:54,375
if you can.
1418
00:23:54,375 --> 00:23:55,541
Or just sit there
1419
00:23:55,541 --> 00:23:57,125
and don't overspend
1420
00:23:57,125 --> 00:23:57,958
or anything
1421
00:23:57,958 --> 00:23:58,875
stupid like that.
1422
00:23:58,875 --> 00:23:59,250
Don't fall
1423
00:23:59,250 --> 00:24:00,875
into any luxury
1424
00:24:00,875 --> 00:24:02,416
luxury traps.
1425
00:24:02,416 --> 00:24:03,583
Just leave it.
1426
00:24:03,583 --> 00:24:05,041
Just enjoy the ride.
1427
00:24:05,041 --> 00:24:06,166
It's a great show.
1428
00:24:06,166 --> 00:24:06,958
It's the greatest show
1429
00:24:06,958 --> 00:24:07,666
on Earth.
1430
00:24:07,666 --> 00:24:09,208
Well, it's it's that.
1431
00:24:09,208 --> 00:24:10,708
But it also inherently
1432
00:24:10,708 --> 00:24:11,500
teaches us
1433
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:13,666
to stop this,
1434
00:24:13,666 --> 00:24:14,916
this guise
1435
00:24:14,916 --> 00:24:16,500
of of investing,
1436
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:17,250
of gambling
1437
00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:17,916
in order to preserve
1438
00:24:17,916 --> 00:24:19,333
purchasing power.
1439
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:20,583
It actually, Bitcoin
1440
00:24:20,583 --> 00:24:21,791
really incentivizes
1441
00:24:21,791 --> 00:24:23,166
us to
1442
00:24:23,166 --> 00:24:26,166
go provide value.
1443
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:27,125
The only way
1444
00:24:27,125 --> 00:24:27,750
you get to stack
1445
00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:28,708
SATs is by
1446
00:24:28,708 --> 00:24:29,958
providing value
1447
00:24:29,958 --> 00:24:31,166
to someone
1448
00:24:31,166 --> 00:24:31,833
or some other
1449
00:24:31,833 --> 00:24:32,625
group of people.
1450
00:24:32,625 --> 00:24:33,458
That's the only way
1451
00:24:33,458 --> 00:24:34,500
you get to do it.
1452
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:35,458
And Bitcoin
1453
00:24:35,458 --> 00:24:36,250
is just a tool
1454
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:36,875
to preserve
1455
00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:37,875
that value.
1456
00:24:37,875 --> 00:24:40,291
And so like,
1457
00:24:40,291 --> 00:24:40,625
you know,
1458
00:24:40,625 --> 00:24:41,375
speaking about
1459
00:24:41,375 --> 00:24:41,708
what are
1460
00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:42,333
we supposed to do
1461
00:24:42,333 --> 00:24:42,875
right now.
1462
00:24:42,875 --> 00:24:43,791
It's like sit back,
1463
00:24:43,791 --> 00:24:44,583
watch the ride
1464
00:24:44,583 --> 00:24:45,166
and figure out
1465
00:24:45,166 --> 00:24:46,625
how to provide value.
1466
00:24:46,625 --> 00:24:46,958
Build
1467
00:24:46,958 --> 00:24:47,875
your business, build
1468
00:24:47,875 --> 00:24:48,583
your skills,
1469
00:24:48,583 --> 00:24:49,416
build your value
1470
00:24:49,416 --> 00:24:50,500
creation mechanism
1471
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:51,000
so that you
1472
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,250
have the ability
1473
00:24:52,250 --> 00:24:53,416
to go out.
1474
00:24:53,416 --> 00:24:54,416
And it doesn't matter.
1475
00:24:54,416 --> 00:24:55,208
Bitcoin at
1476
00:24:55,208 --> 00:24:55,875
100 K
1477
00:24:55,875 --> 00:24:56,208
or Bitcoin
1478
00:24:56,208 --> 00:24:57,333
at 100 million
1479
00:24:57,333 --> 00:24:58,416
is completely
1480
00:24:58,416 --> 00:24:59,333
irrelevant
1481
00:24:59,333 --> 00:25:00,166
because you
1482
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:00,958
want to provide
1483
00:25:00,958 --> 00:25:02,375
value in the future
1484
00:25:02,375 --> 00:25:03,916
and lock that value
1485
00:25:03,916 --> 00:25:04,541
for an even
1486
00:25:04,541 --> 00:25:05,791
further future.
1487
00:25:05,791 --> 00:25:06,708
And I think
1488
00:25:06,708 --> 00:25:08,041
that that's
1489
00:25:08,041 --> 00:25:09,125
that's the holy grail.
1490
00:25:09,125 --> 00:25:10,666
And so as humanity,
1491
00:25:10,666 --> 00:25:11,208
if we're just
1492
00:25:11,208 --> 00:25:11,916
focused on
1493
00:25:11,916 --> 00:25:12,791
how do we provide
1494
00:25:12,791 --> 00:25:14,458
the most value,
1495
00:25:14,458 --> 00:25:15,125
I think the world's
1496
00:25:15,125 --> 00:25:15,375
gonna look
1497
00:25:15,375 --> 00:25:15,916
pretty sweet.
1498
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:17,250
Yeah.
1499
00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:17,916
And it's
1500
00:25:17,916 --> 00:25:18,416
there's a flip
1501
00:25:18,416 --> 00:25:18,958
side to that.
1502
00:25:18,958 --> 00:25:19,500
The only way
1503
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:20,250
to get anything
1504
00:25:20,250 --> 00:25:21,000
out of value
1505
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,333
back for your assets
1506
00:25:22,333 --> 00:25:22,916
is to actually
1507
00:25:22,916 --> 00:25:23,791
spend them.
1508
00:25:23,791 --> 00:25:24,708
Like, you can't
1509
00:25:24,708 --> 00:25:26,375
you can't
1510
00:25:26,375 --> 00:25:27,583
play the Fiat
1511
00:25:27,583 --> 00:25:28,833
Fiat games and
1512
00:25:28,833 --> 00:25:29,958
and leverage
1513
00:25:29,958 --> 00:25:31,000
the fact that you have
1514
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:31,916
more than others
1515
00:25:31,916 --> 00:25:32,708
and get cheaper
1516
00:25:32,708 --> 00:25:33,708
loans and stuff.
1517
00:25:33,708 --> 00:25:34,416
That doesn't
1518
00:25:34,416 --> 00:25:35,166
work at all
1519
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:36,208
as well on Bitcoin
1520
00:25:36,208 --> 00:25:37,541
as it does on fiat.
1521
00:25:37,541 --> 00:25:38,000
Totally.
1522
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I see
1523
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,500
all these larps on
1524
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:41,458
X talking
1525
00:25:41,458 --> 00:25:42,916
like I never sell
1526
00:25:42,916 --> 00:25:43,833
a bitcoin
1527
00:25:43,833 --> 00:25:44,375
and I always
1528
00:25:44,375 --> 00:25:45,375
respond, oh,
1529
00:25:45,375 --> 00:25:45,791
that's fine,
1530
00:25:45,791 --> 00:25:46,291
you just aren't
1531
00:25:46,291 --> 00:25:47,291
all in yet.
1532
00:25:47,291 --> 00:25:47,666
And they're like,
1533
00:25:47,666 --> 00:25:48,208
oh, I'm a bit,
1534
00:25:48,208 --> 00:25:48,875
I'm a maxi.
1535
00:25:48,875 --> 00:25:49,291
I'm all in.
1536
00:25:49,291 --> 00:25:49,500
What are you
1537
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:49,833
talking about?
1538
00:25:49,833 --> 00:25:50,416
It's like, well,
1539
00:25:50,416 --> 00:25:50,750
if you don't
1540
00:25:50,750 --> 00:25:51,916
spend bitcoin,
1541
00:25:51,916 --> 00:25:52,708
I mean you're eating.
1542
00:25:52,708 --> 00:25:53,583
How do you survive?
1543
00:25:53,583 --> 00:25:54,125
Yeah, yeah.
1544
00:25:54,125 --> 00:25:54,958
You have a house
1545
00:25:54,958 --> 00:25:55,625
I assume.
1546
00:25:55,625 --> 00:25:57,125
Like you drive a car,
1547
00:25:57,125 --> 00:25:57,833
you go have
1548
00:25:57,833 --> 00:25:58,958
a coffee, use
1549
00:25:58,958 --> 00:25:59,541
you have shoes
1550
00:25:59,541 --> 00:26:00,458
on your feet.
1551
00:26:00,458 --> 00:26:01,000
How do you
1552
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:01,708
how do you buy that.
1553
00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:02,833
Well I use my feet.
1554
00:26:02,833 --> 00:26:03,083
It's like,
1555
00:26:03,083 --> 00:26:03,666
oh yeah,
1556
00:26:03,666 --> 00:26:04,166
you have fiat.
1557
00:26:04,166 --> 00:26:04,791
So you're not all in.
1558
00:26:04,791 --> 00:26:05,250
That's fine.
1559
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:05,666
You just aren't
1560
00:26:05,666 --> 00:26:06,750
all in, like,
1561
00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:08,083
cool it with this.
1562
00:26:08,083 --> 00:26:08,916
Like I. Am.
1563
00:26:08,916 --> 00:26:09,541
So good
1564
00:26:09,541 --> 00:26:10,583
because I am maxi.
1565
00:26:10,583 --> 00:26:11,375
I never sell
1566
00:26:11,375 --> 00:26:12,166
diamond hands.
1567
00:26:12,166 --> 00:26:12,666
It's like, no,
1568
00:26:12,666 --> 00:26:12,875
that's not
1569
00:26:12,875 --> 00:26:14,083
how money works.
1570
00:26:14,083 --> 00:26:14,666
Money works
1571
00:26:14,666 --> 00:26:15,125
in such a way
1572
00:26:15,125 --> 00:26:15,375
where you
1573
00:26:15,375 --> 00:26:16,625
provide value,
1574
00:26:16,625 --> 00:26:18,125
you receive money,
1575
00:26:18,125 --> 00:26:19,291
some unit of account,
1576
00:26:19,291 --> 00:26:20,041
and then you spend
1577
00:26:20,041 --> 00:26:21,208
less than that.
1578
00:26:21,208 --> 00:26:22,708
And the future of you
1579
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:24,375
benefits for the
1580
00:26:24,375 --> 00:26:25,375
for the delta.
1581
00:26:25,375 --> 00:26:26,500
And it's like
1582
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:27,958
be all in
1583
00:26:27,958 --> 00:26:30,416
and spend SATs.
1584
00:26:30,416 --> 00:26:30,666
That's why
1585
00:26:30,666 --> 00:26:32,000
you have to do.
1586
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Spend and replace
1587
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,000
right?
1588
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:34,291
Yeah.
1589
00:26:34,291 --> 00:26:34,833
Spend and
1590
00:26:34,833 --> 00:26:36,333
spend and replace
1591
00:26:36,333 --> 00:26:38,375
like or even just work
1592
00:26:38,375 --> 00:26:39,291
and then spend
1593
00:26:39,291 --> 00:26:40,250
like working
1594
00:26:40,250 --> 00:26:41,291
then spend with that.
1595
00:26:41,291 --> 00:26:41,875
That is
1596
00:26:41,875 --> 00:26:43,458
that is replacing
1597
00:26:43,458 --> 00:26:44,250
right. Yeah. Yeah.
1598
00:26:44,250 --> 00:26:45,166
Exactly. Exactly.
1599
00:26:45,166 --> 00:26:46,416
It's like it's it's
1600
00:26:46,416 --> 00:26:47,750
kind of like
1601
00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:48,791
what's, what's the
1602
00:26:48,791 --> 00:26:50,833
what's the replaces
1603
00:26:50,833 --> 00:26:51,458
is a is
1604
00:26:51,458 --> 00:26:52,958
a future tense.
1605
00:26:52,958 --> 00:26:53,833
What's the previous
1606
00:26:53,833 --> 00:26:54,458
tense is just
1607
00:26:54,458 --> 00:26:55,125
spending like,
1608
00:26:55,125 --> 00:26:56,000
it's like
1609
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,958
if you work
1610
00:26:56,958 --> 00:26:58,333
and make one widget
1611
00:26:58,333 --> 00:26:59,666
and you can live on
1612
00:26:59,666 --> 00:27:00,875
point five,
1613
00:27:00,875 --> 00:27:02,041
then you do
1614
00:27:02,041 --> 00:27:02,625
a good thing,
1615
00:27:02,625 --> 00:27:03,208
that's great.
1616
00:27:03,208 --> 00:27:04,083
You get, you know,
1617
00:27:04,083 --> 00:27:05,041
you get to save point
1618
00:27:05,041 --> 00:27:06,541
five of your value.
1619
00:27:06,541 --> 00:27:07,416
And that's,
1620
00:27:07,416 --> 00:27:08,250
that's remarkable.
1621
00:27:08,250 --> 00:27:09,416
So I think it's like,
1622
00:27:09,416 --> 00:27:10,541
it's a consumption
1623
00:27:10,541 --> 00:27:11,666
versus production
1624
00:27:11,666 --> 00:27:12,958
kind of formula
1625
00:27:12,958 --> 00:27:14,166
that the world
1626
00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:14,750
just needs
1627
00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:16,625
to completely
1628
00:27:16,625 --> 00:27:17,166
unlearn
1629
00:27:17,166 --> 00:27:18,541
the old formula
1630
00:27:18,541 --> 00:27:19,708
and now relearn
1631
00:27:19,708 --> 00:27:20,666
the Bitcoin formula,
1632
00:27:20,666 --> 00:27:21,875
which is it's a
1633
00:27:21,875 --> 00:27:23,166
it's a culture shift
1634
00:27:23,166 --> 00:27:24,583
across the planet
1635
00:27:24,583 --> 00:27:25,833
like it is.
1636
00:27:25,833 --> 00:27:26,583
It is insane.
1637
00:27:26,583 --> 00:27:27,125
Going from a
1638
00:27:27,125 --> 00:27:28,458
credit system
1639
00:27:28,458 --> 00:27:29,041
to a money
1640
00:27:29,041 --> 00:27:29,666
system
1641
00:27:29,666 --> 00:27:31,916
is astronomical.
1642
00:27:31,916 --> 00:27:32,708
No, it's it's
1643
00:27:32,708 --> 00:27:33,666
absolutely insane
1644
00:27:33,666 --> 00:27:34,583
because you
1645
00:27:34,583 --> 00:27:35,125
literally have
1646
00:27:35,125 --> 00:27:36,416
to unlearn everything
1647
00:27:36,416 --> 00:27:36,958
you've learned
1648
00:27:36,958 --> 00:27:37,541
about
1649
00:27:37,541 --> 00:27:38,833
commerce and money
1650
00:27:38,833 --> 00:27:39,666
and finance
1651
00:27:39,666 --> 00:27:40,708
and all of it.
1652
00:27:40,708 --> 00:27:41,083
Totally.
1653
00:27:41,083 --> 00:27:42,125
Because like on, on a
1654
00:27:42,125 --> 00:27:42,666
in a hyper
1655
00:27:42,666 --> 00:27:43,166
bitcoin eyes
1656
00:27:43,166 --> 00:27:44,791
where it's not gold,
1657
00:27:44,791 --> 00:27:45,500
it's, it's
1658
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:46,500
way, way, way
1659
00:27:48,041 --> 00:27:50,166
more resistant
1660
00:27:50,166 --> 00:27:50,916
to inflation
1661
00:27:50,916 --> 00:27:52,125
than gold.
1662
00:27:52,125 --> 00:27:53,791
Because but
1663
00:27:53,791 --> 00:27:54,708
the more miners
1664
00:27:54,708 --> 00:27:56,791
that come online, the,
1665
00:27:56,791 --> 00:27:57,666
the more gold
1666
00:27:57,666 --> 00:27:58,291
is produced
1667
00:27:58,291 --> 00:28:00,250
per time unit.
1668
00:28:00,250 --> 00:28:01,416
Not true for Bitcoin.
1669
00:28:01,416 --> 00:28:02,458
It stays the same.
1670
00:28:02,458 --> 00:28:03,208
The issuance rate
1671
00:28:03,208 --> 00:28:04,333
stays the same.
1672
00:28:04,333 --> 00:28:04,750
And we're
1673
00:28:04,750 --> 00:28:05,375
almost there.
1674
00:28:05,375 --> 00:28:05,791
We're
1675
00:28:05,791 --> 00:28:07,125
almost mined all the
1676
00:28:07,125 --> 00:28:08,625
all the bitcoins
1677
00:28:08,625 --> 00:28:09,875
like the last coin
1678
00:28:09,875 --> 00:28:10,416
will take like
1679
00:28:10,416 --> 00:28:12,291
40 years to find.
1680
00:28:12,291 --> 00:28:13,750
I know that
1681
00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:14,708
blew my mind
1682
00:28:14,708 --> 00:28:15,541
when I heard that
1683
00:28:15,541 --> 00:28:16,125
that something
1684
00:28:16,125 --> 00:28:17,625
like in 20 years,
1685
00:28:17,625 --> 00:28:18,083
the block
1686
00:28:18,083 --> 00:28:19,541
reward will be like,
1687
00:28:19,541 --> 00:28:20,041
what is it,
1688
00:28:20,041 --> 00:28:21,375
30,000 sats
1689
00:28:21,375 --> 00:28:22,125
or something?
1690
00:28:22,125 --> 00:28:23,583
Yeah, yeah.
1691
00:28:23,583 --> 00:28:24,833
It's like,
1692
00:28:24,833 --> 00:28:26,541
it's like 92%
1693
00:28:26,541 --> 00:28:27,958
the first 12 years
1694
00:28:27,958 --> 00:28:28,500
and then
1695
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,083
5% the next 12 years,
1696
00:28:31,083 --> 00:28:32,166
and then,
1697
00:28:32,166 --> 00:28:33,000
yeah, that's it.
1698
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,291
The last 3%.
1699
00:28:34,291 --> 00:28:34,916
That's the other
1700
00:28:34,916 --> 00:28:35,958
hundred years.
1701
00:28:35,958 --> 00:28:37,458
And most people.
1702
00:28:37,458 --> 00:28:39,083
Like I struggle.
1703
00:28:39,083 --> 00:28:39,375
Look,
1704
00:28:39,375 --> 00:28:39,958
I guess
1705
00:28:39,958 --> 00:28:40,375
I can kind of see
1706
00:28:40,375 --> 00:28:41,583
their point around
1707
00:28:41,583 --> 00:28:42,083
like gold
1708
00:28:42,083 --> 00:28:42,750
but struggling
1709
00:28:42,750 --> 00:28:43,708
to get in here.
1710
00:28:43,708 --> 00:28:44,541
They have a hard time
1711
00:28:44,541 --> 00:28:45,416
detaching
1712
00:28:45,416 --> 00:28:46,625
the physicality from
1713
00:28:46,625 --> 00:28:48,000
the digital realm.
1714
00:28:49,291 --> 00:28:50,583
But the digital
1715
00:28:50,583 --> 00:28:51,541
nature is actually
1716
00:28:51,541 --> 00:28:52,791
the only reason
1717
00:28:52,791 --> 00:28:54,666
Bitcoin can work,
1718
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:55,458
because you're able
1719
00:28:55,458 --> 00:28:56,166
to actually
1720
00:28:56,166 --> 00:28:57,125
amass value
1721
00:28:57,125 --> 00:28:58,208
without your costs
1722
00:28:58,208 --> 00:28:58,708
rising.
1723
00:28:58,708 --> 00:28:59,333
Holt storing
1724
00:28:59,333 --> 00:29:00,416
$100 million of gold
1725
00:29:00,416 --> 00:29:00,833
is very
1726
00:29:00,833 --> 00:29:02,000
very difficult.
1727
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:02,458
Difficult
1728
00:29:02,458 --> 00:29:03,333
to spend, difficult
1729
00:29:03,333 --> 00:29:03,666
to move.
1730
00:29:03,666 --> 00:29:04,291
The physical
1731
00:29:04,291 --> 00:29:05,666
restraints
1732
00:29:05,666 --> 00:29:06,666
of previous
1733
00:29:06,666 --> 00:29:08,208
versions of money
1734
00:29:08,208 --> 00:29:09,000
have have been
1735
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,875
impossible to,
1736
00:29:11,875 --> 00:29:13,125
to overcome.
1737
00:29:13,125 --> 00:29:14,250
And now,
1738
00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:15,208
I mean, the fact
1739
00:29:15,208 --> 00:29:15,750
that you can carry
1740
00:29:15,750 --> 00:29:16,166
around
1741
00:29:16,166 --> 00:29:17,125
generational wealth
1742
00:29:17,125 --> 00:29:18,000
on an SD card
1743
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,583
is pretty insane.
1744
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:19,833
Yeah.
1745
00:29:19,833 --> 00:29:20,208
Are you
1746
00:29:20,208 --> 00:29:21,125
aware of the
1747
00:29:21,125 --> 00:29:24,125
idea of element zero?
1748
00:29:24,166 --> 00:29:24,791
No, I don't think so.
1749
00:29:24,791 --> 00:29:25,250
This is
1750
00:29:25,250 --> 00:29:26,333
this is an idea
1751
00:29:26,333 --> 00:29:28,083
I heard from,
1752
00:29:28,083 --> 00:29:28,541
a grape
1753
00:29:28,541 --> 00:29:29,000
by Corona
1754
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,458
called your hamster.
1755
00:29:30,458 --> 00:29:33,083
So I had to, like,
1756
00:29:33,083 --> 00:29:33,875
when I saw it,
1757
00:29:33,875 --> 00:29:34,750
like you gave
1758
00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:36,958
a presentation,
1759
00:29:36,958 --> 00:29:37,500
about it.
1760
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:38,583
But his kind of nerdy
1761
00:29:38,583 --> 00:29:39,875
presentation,
1762
00:29:39,875 --> 00:29:41,458
it's a German guy,
1763
00:29:41,458 --> 00:29:42,458
so he's got this
1764
00:29:42,458 --> 00:29:43,291
German accent
1765
00:29:43,291 --> 00:29:44,000
and speaks
1766
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,375
in a very
1767
00:29:44,375 --> 00:29:45,583
engineering way.
1768
00:29:45,583 --> 00:29:46,291
So I thought
1769
00:29:46,291 --> 00:29:47,000
this has to go
1770
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,666
into my book.
1771
00:29:47,666 --> 00:29:48,916
So he went into the
1772
00:29:48,916 --> 00:29:49,791
everything divided
1773
00:29:49,791 --> 00:29:50,791
book, and I
1774
00:29:50,791 --> 00:29:51,958
rewrote it and,
1775
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:53,708
tried to make
1776
00:29:53,708 --> 00:29:55,375
it more like,
1777
00:29:55,375 --> 00:29:56,083
entertaining.
1778
00:29:56,083 --> 00:29:56,666
I don't know if I
1779
00:29:56,666 --> 00:29:57,416
succeeded or not,
1780
00:29:57,416 --> 00:29:58,708
but we made a,
1781
00:29:58,708 --> 00:29:59,666
a little video
1782
00:29:59,666 --> 00:30:00,583
out of it,
1783
00:30:00,583 --> 00:30:01,666
called Element Zeros.
1784
00:30:01,666 --> 00:30:02,875
If you Google
1785
00:30:02,875 --> 00:30:03,666
Bitcoin element
1786
00:30:03,666 --> 00:30:04,500
zero, there's
1787
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:06,250
an animation by a guy
1788
00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:07,291
called the Yoni
1789
00:30:07,291 --> 00:30:10,166
Apple berg. And,
1790
00:30:10,166 --> 00:30:10,750
yeah, it's
1791
00:30:10,750 --> 00:30:12,875
about how the,
1792
00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:14,666
you can, you can,
1793
00:30:14,666 --> 00:30:16,041
view Bitcoin as a,
1794
00:30:16,041 --> 00:30:17,291
as a new element
1795
00:30:17,291 --> 00:30:19,166
on the periodic table,
1796
00:30:19,166 --> 00:30:20,375
but it differs
1797
00:30:20,375 --> 00:30:21,000
from all other
1798
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,541
elements
1799
00:30:21,541 --> 00:30:22,208
because it doesn't
1800
00:30:22,208 --> 00:30:23,041
have protons
1801
00:30:23,041 --> 00:30:24,333
or neutrons,
1802
00:30:24,333 --> 00:30:25,333
only electrons.
1803
00:30:25,333 --> 00:30:26,250
So it's an it's
1804
00:30:26,250 --> 00:30:26,750
an element
1805
00:30:26,750 --> 00:30:27,666
without completely
1806
00:30:27,666 --> 00:30:29,375
without mass,
1807
00:30:29,375 --> 00:30:30,416
which means that
1808
00:30:30,416 --> 00:30:31,375
it's made up
1809
00:30:31,375 --> 00:30:31,958
entirely out
1810
00:30:31,958 --> 00:30:32,791
of information.
1811
00:30:32,791 --> 00:30:33,958
But it behaves
1812
00:30:33,958 --> 00:30:34,833
like an element
1813
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:35,583
in the sense
1814
00:30:35,583 --> 00:30:36,250
that you can't
1815
00:30:36,250 --> 00:30:36,958
destroy it
1816
00:30:36,958 --> 00:30:37,625
very easily
1817
00:30:37,625 --> 00:30:38,916
without without
1818
00:30:38,916 --> 00:30:39,750
massive amounts
1819
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:40,666
of energy,
1820
00:30:40,666 --> 00:30:41,541
and you can't
1821
00:30:41,541 --> 00:30:42,791
create more of it
1822
00:30:42,791 --> 00:30:43,625
without massive
1823
00:30:43,625 --> 00:30:44,500
amounts of energy.
1824
00:30:45,708 --> 00:30:46,500
Or you can
1825
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:47,125
create that other
1826
00:30:47,125 --> 00:30:49,708
thing there.
1827
00:30:49,708 --> 00:30:50,750
But
1828
00:30:50,750 --> 00:30:51,916
in all other senses
1829
00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:52,500
it sort of
1830
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:53,750
behaves like,
1831
00:30:53,750 --> 00:30:54,875
an element.
1832
00:30:54,875 --> 00:30:55,750
But since it's made
1833
00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:56,583
up of information,
1834
00:30:56,583 --> 00:30:58,250
only the information
1835
00:30:58,250 --> 00:30:59,375
about the element
1836
00:30:59,375 --> 00:31:00,333
is the element.
1837
00:31:00,333 --> 00:31:00,583
There is
1838
00:31:00,583 --> 00:31:01,500
no distinction
1839
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:01,875
between
1840
00:31:01,875 --> 00:31:02,500
the information
1841
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:03,000
about it.
1842
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,541
And it's. All.
1843
00:31:04,541 --> 00:31:06,833
So a which is,
1844
00:31:06,833 --> 00:31:07,833
and, you know,
1845
00:31:07,833 --> 00:31:08,500
as you know,
1846
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:09,958
like knowing
1847
00:31:09,958 --> 00:31:11,250
the secret,
1848
00:31:11,250 --> 00:31:12,458
knowing a private key
1849
00:31:12,458 --> 00:31:13,416
to a,
1850
00:31:13,416 --> 00:31:14,291
that unlocks
1851
00:31:14,291 --> 00:31:15,041
a certain amount
1852
00:31:15,041 --> 00:31:16,375
of satoshis
1853
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:17,458
is those satoshis
1854
00:31:17,458 --> 00:31:18,291
that they're the one
1855
00:31:18,291 --> 00:31:18,833
and the same.
1856
00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:19,416
The satoshis
1857
00:31:19,416 --> 00:31:20,250
don't really exist.
1858
00:31:20,250 --> 00:31:20,791
They don't know
1859
00:31:20,791 --> 00:31:22,166
the Satoshi's.
1860
00:31:22,166 --> 00:31:23,166
The ability to move.
1861
00:31:23,166 --> 00:31:23,791
The satoshis
1862
00:31:23,791 --> 00:31:24,916
is never online.
1863
00:31:24,916 --> 00:31:26,791
It's only a is.
1864
00:31:26,791 --> 00:31:27,500
It's only
1865
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:29,166
and can only be
1866
00:31:29,166 --> 00:31:30,541
within a human mind
1867
00:31:30,541 --> 00:31:31,083
somewhere.
1868
00:31:31,083 --> 00:31:32,208
It's always someone
1869
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:33,166
keeping a secret
1870
00:31:33,166 --> 00:31:34,541
from someone else.
1871
00:31:34,541 --> 00:31:36,041
And the only reason
1872
00:31:36,041 --> 00:31:36,791
that we think
1873
00:31:36,791 --> 00:31:37,250
that this
1874
00:31:37,250 --> 00:31:38,333
secret is worth
1875
00:31:38,333 --> 00:31:39,541
something is
1876
00:31:39,541 --> 00:31:40,500
because we know
1877
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:41,833
the improbability
1878
00:31:41,833 --> 00:31:42,958
of someone else
1879
00:31:42,958 --> 00:31:43,791
guessing the
1880
00:31:43,791 --> 00:31:45,416
secret correctly.
1881
00:31:45,416 --> 00:31:45,708
So?
1882
00:31:45,708 --> 00:31:47,958
So yeah, I like that.
1883
00:31:47,958 --> 00:31:48,958
Yes, but
1884
00:31:48,958 --> 00:31:49,625
but at the end
1885
00:31:49,625 --> 00:31:50,250
of the day, it's
1886
00:31:50,250 --> 00:31:51,291
just information
1887
00:31:51,291 --> 00:31:51,958
just isn't.
1888
00:31:51,958 --> 00:31:52,458
It's just a
1889
00:31:52,458 --> 00:31:54,416
goddamn number
1890
00:31:54,416 --> 00:31:55,291
or it's just 12.
1891
00:31:55,291 --> 00:31:56,625
God. Binary truth.
1892
00:31:56,625 --> 00:31:57,666
Yeah, it's binary too.
1893
00:31:57,666 --> 00:31:58,833
It's just just
1894
00:31:58,833 --> 00:31:59,541
flip flop, flip
1895
00:31:59,541 --> 00:32:00,125
flop flip flip
1896
00:32:00,125 --> 00:32:00,833
flip flip flop,
1897
00:32:00,833 --> 00:32:01,500
flip of a flip,
1898
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:02,791
flip flop flop, flip
1899
00:32:02,791 --> 00:32:04,000
flip flop, flip flop.
1900
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:04,625
That's a
1901
00:32:04,625 --> 00:32:05,583
Bitcoin private key.
1902
00:32:06,750 --> 00:32:07,541
And you can, you
1903
00:32:07,541 --> 00:32:09,625
can throw a dice,
1904
00:32:09,625 --> 00:32:11,041
99 times
1905
00:32:11,041 --> 00:32:11,500
or flip
1906
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:13,250
a coin 256 times
1907
00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:13,875
and you have a
1908
00:32:13,875 --> 00:32:14,583
Bitcoin address
1909
00:32:14,583 --> 00:32:15,541
that you can send
1910
00:32:15,541 --> 00:32:17,166
Bitcoin to. Right.
1911
00:32:17,166 --> 00:32:18,541
Or you give. Me
1912
00:32:18,541 --> 00:32:19,666
on my test.
1913
00:32:19,666 --> 00:32:20,666
But we just made
1914
00:32:20,666 --> 00:32:22,083
these little.
1915
00:32:22,083 --> 00:32:22,583
Oh you.
1916
00:32:22,583 --> 00:32:23,000
Call him
1917
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:23,541
we call them
1918
00:32:23,541 --> 00:32:24,750
entropy pouches.
1919
00:32:24,750 --> 00:32:25,166
Yeah. Yeah.
1920
00:32:25,166 --> 00:32:26,333
And it's a little tiny
1921
00:32:26,333 --> 00:32:27,416
pouch which has
1922
00:32:27,416 --> 00:32:30,000
and it comes with 50
1923
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,500
50 tiny tiny dice.
1924
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:31,916
We actually
1925
00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:32,916
I didn't think 100
1926
00:32:32,916 --> 00:32:33,583
would fit, but it.
1927
00:32:33,583 --> 00:32:34,375
Well, I was just.
1928
00:32:34,375 --> 00:32:35,833
I'm like, hey,
1929
00:32:35,833 --> 00:32:36,416
we say roll it
1930
00:32:36,416 --> 00:32:36,958
three times,
1931
00:32:36,958 --> 00:32:37,500
I roll the dice
1932
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:38,291
three times,
1933
00:32:38,291 --> 00:32:39,000
but we're
1934
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:39,416
going to just
1935
00:32:39,416 --> 00:32:40,083
add 100 in,
1936
00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:40,625
and then you just get
1937
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:41,250
all your entropy
1938
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:42,458
in one. Yeah.
1939
00:32:42,458 --> 00:32:45,458
And it is, it is,
1940
00:32:45,583 --> 00:32:47,458
it is so empowering
1941
00:32:47,458 --> 00:32:48,166
to think
1942
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:49,708
that you can
1943
00:32:49,708 --> 00:32:50,458
literally do
1944
00:32:50,458 --> 00:32:51,000
as you say,
1945
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,000
roll a dice
1946
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,208
100 times
1947
00:32:53,208 --> 00:32:54,958
and have entropy
1948
00:32:54,958 --> 00:32:56,041
for generations.
1949
00:32:56,041 --> 00:32:56,791
Hang on a minute.
1950
00:32:56,791 --> 00:32:58,416
Other 16 sided die.
1951
00:33:00,125 --> 00:33:00,541
Yeah.
1952
00:33:00,541 --> 00:33:02,666
So there there are.
1953
00:33:02,666 --> 00:33:03,958
There's a 20
1954
00:33:03,958 --> 00:33:04,916
and the 12
1955
00:33:04,916 --> 00:33:05,583
I know those
1956
00:33:05,583 --> 00:33:06,541
and the T ten
1957
00:33:06,541 --> 00:33:07,500
and the T four
1958
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:08,333
and the T six
1959
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:09,750
and the T eight.
1960
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:12,750
But is there a T 16 I.
1961
00:33:12,750 --> 00:33:14,541
I'm pretty sure there,
1962
00:33:14,541 --> 00:33:15,125
there is.
1963
00:33:15,125 --> 00:33:16,791
I saw one at in
1964
00:33:16,791 --> 00:33:17,583
El Salvador
1965
00:33:17,583 --> 00:33:18,208
at the Bitcoin
1966
00:33:18,208 --> 00:33:21,166
hardware store.
1967
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:22,416
There's
1968
00:33:22,416 --> 00:33:25,250
there's a die and it's
1969
00:33:25,250 --> 00:33:25,958
I'm trying to think
1970
00:33:25,958 --> 00:33:28,416
I'm pretty sure it is,
1971
00:33:28,416 --> 00:33:30,041
16 sided and,
1972
00:33:30,041 --> 00:33:30,875
but it's all zeros
1973
00:33:30,875 --> 00:33:31,416
and ones.
1974
00:33:31,416 --> 00:33:34,416
Have you seen that?
1975
00:33:34,916 --> 00:33:36,291
The I've seen
1976
00:33:36,291 --> 00:33:37,833
all zeros and ones.
1977
00:33:37,833 --> 00:33:39,375
But like that, the,
1978
00:33:39,375 --> 00:33:40,000
the reason
1979
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,375
I'm saying 16
1980
00:33:41,375 --> 00:33:42,000
sided is
1981
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,458
of course hexadecimal.
1982
00:33:43,458 --> 00:33:45,416
So it would be like so
1983
00:33:45,416 --> 00:33:48,208
123456789 abs
1984
00:33:48,208 --> 00:33:49,833
to up to f.
1985
00:33:49,833 --> 00:33:50,250
Okay.
1986
00:33:50,250 --> 00:33:50,916
And know
1987
00:33:50,916 --> 00:33:51,708
I don't either.
1988
00:33:51,708 --> 00:33:52,000
So you know
1989
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:52,833
that actually
1990
00:33:52,833 --> 00:33:53,916
actually a roll it.
1991
00:33:53,916 --> 00:33:55,291
Like how many
1992
00:33:55,291 --> 00:33:56,250
how many letters
1993
00:33:56,250 --> 00:33:56,625
are there.
1994
00:33:56,625 --> 00:33:58,000
Like how many digits.
1995
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:58,458
That's like
1996
00:33:58,458 --> 00:34:00,166
30 or something.
1997
00:34:00,166 --> 00:34:01,125
So you could actually,
1998
00:34:02,125 --> 00:34:04,500
roll a 16 sided die
1999
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:05,208
30 times.
2000
00:34:05,208 --> 00:34:06,041
Am I doing the math
2001
00:34:06,041 --> 00:34:06,666
right here?
2002
00:34:06,666 --> 00:34:08,000
Who's good with maths?
2003
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
No. Okay.
2004
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,875
I don't know.
2005
00:34:09,875 --> 00:34:10,708
You're you've
2006
00:34:10,708 --> 00:34:11,708
definitely lost me.
2007
00:34:11,708 --> 00:34:12,875
I, I just like
2008
00:34:12,875 --> 00:34:13,500
the little six
2009
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:14,166
sided die
2010
00:34:14,166 --> 00:34:14,583
that you roll
2011
00:34:14,583 --> 00:34:15,875
100 times. That seems.
2012
00:34:15,875 --> 00:34:16,291
Yeah, yeah,
2013
00:34:16,291 --> 00:34:16,958
I just,
2014
00:34:16,958 --> 00:34:17,791
the most obvious
2015
00:34:17,791 --> 00:34:20,291
one to do, but
2016
00:34:20,291 --> 00:34:21,666
it is cool for.
2017
00:34:21,666 --> 00:34:22,333
Well, two things
2018
00:34:22,333 --> 00:34:23,125
coming to mind there.
2019
00:34:23,125 --> 00:34:23,916
One, the fact
2020
00:34:23,916 --> 00:34:24,208
that we can
2021
00:34:24,208 --> 00:34:24,541
just do
2022
00:34:24,541 --> 00:34:25,625
that offline
2023
00:34:25,625 --> 00:34:26,625
with something
2024
00:34:26,625 --> 00:34:27,541
that my four year
2025
00:34:27,541 --> 00:34:28,333
old plays with
2026
00:34:28,333 --> 00:34:29,583
is pretty sick.
2027
00:34:29,583 --> 00:34:29,875
But then
2028
00:34:29,875 --> 00:34:30,875
the other one
2029
00:34:30,875 --> 00:34:32,458
is, the fact
2030
00:34:32,458 --> 00:34:33,250
that you can do it
2031
00:34:33,250 --> 00:34:34,041
multiple
2032
00:34:34,041 --> 00:34:35,083
different ways
2033
00:34:35,083 --> 00:34:36,541
to achieve,
2034
00:34:36,541 --> 00:34:36,916
you know,
2035
00:34:36,916 --> 00:34:37,916
a different result
2036
00:34:37,916 --> 00:34:38,916
in the same way.
2037
00:34:38,916 --> 00:34:40,625
It's like, yeah,
2038
00:34:40,625 --> 00:34:41,250
you know, it's
2039
00:34:41,250 --> 00:34:43,375
not just dice it
2040
00:34:43,375 --> 00:34:43,625
or it's
2041
00:34:43,625 --> 00:34:44,291
not just numbers.
2042
00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:44,916
They can be numbers
2043
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:45,375
and letters
2044
00:34:45,375 --> 00:34:46,750
and it just all
2045
00:34:46,750 --> 00:34:48,000
word randomness.
2046
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,458
All we need is entropy
2047
00:34:49,458 --> 00:34:50,791
and randomness
2048
00:34:50,791 --> 00:34:52,125
in order to
2049
00:34:52,125 --> 00:34:53,375
preserve our value.
2050
00:34:53,375 --> 00:34:53,791
And that's
2051
00:34:53,791 --> 00:34:55,833
such an empowering
2052
00:34:55,833 --> 00:34:57,083
I, I know that's more
2053
00:34:57,083 --> 00:34:57,958
of a cryptography
2054
00:34:57,958 --> 00:34:58,458
thing than a
2055
00:34:58,458 --> 00:34:59,041
money thing.
2056
00:34:59,041 --> 00:34:59,375
And that's
2057
00:34:59,375 --> 00:35:00,208
and that's the basis
2058
00:35:00,208 --> 00:35:01,083
of, of
2059
00:35:01,083 --> 00:35:02,166
of cryptography,
2060
00:35:03,416 --> 00:35:04,125
primarily for
2061
00:35:04,125 --> 00:35:05,083
information.
2062
00:35:05,083 --> 00:35:06,583
But Satoshi's genius
2063
00:35:06,583 --> 00:35:08,041
to look at money
2064
00:35:08,041 --> 00:35:09,750
as information.
2065
00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:11,750
It is truly something
2066
00:35:11,750 --> 00:35:12,166
that we don't
2067
00:35:12,166 --> 00:35:12,958
talk about enough.
2068
00:35:12,958 --> 00:35:13,541
We don't marvel
2069
00:35:13,541 --> 00:35:15,208
in the fact that
2070
00:35:15,208 --> 00:35:17,750
that perspective shift
2071
00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:18,750
changed the course
2072
00:35:18,750 --> 00:35:19,833
of history.
2073
00:35:19,833 --> 00:35:21,458
No, I talk about this
2074
00:35:21,458 --> 00:35:21,916
all the time
2075
00:35:21,916 --> 00:35:22,416
because, like,
2076
00:35:22,416 --> 00:35:23,291
I think it's such
2077
00:35:23,291 --> 00:35:24,416
an underrated
2078
00:35:24,416 --> 00:35:25,166
aspect of
2079
00:35:25,166 --> 00:35:26,875
it is the aspect
2080
00:35:26,875 --> 00:35:28,083
that is like
2081
00:35:28,083 --> 00:35:28,791
that changes
2082
00:35:28,791 --> 00:35:29,250
everything.
2083
00:35:29,250 --> 00:35:30,333
Because what
2084
00:35:30,333 --> 00:35:30,875
it means
2085
00:35:30,875 --> 00:35:31,833
that these things
2086
00:35:31,833 --> 00:35:32,666
are only stored
2087
00:35:32,666 --> 00:35:33,750
in people's heads
2088
00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:34,250
is that we
2089
00:35:34,250 --> 00:35:35,416
are our bitcoins,
2090
00:35:35,416 --> 00:35:36,166
and I can't
2091
00:35:36,166 --> 00:35:37,250
get that thought
2092
00:35:37,250 --> 00:35:38,250
out of my head.
2093
00:35:38,250 --> 00:35:39,125
I can't like
2094
00:35:39,125 --> 00:35:40,250
this thing lives
2095
00:35:40,250 --> 00:35:40,875
within us.
2096
00:35:40,875 --> 00:35:41,791
We are it
2097
00:35:41,791 --> 00:35:43,750
and it is us.
2098
00:35:43,750 --> 00:35:44,375
And whoever
2099
00:35:44,375 --> 00:35:45,750
is connected to it,
2100
00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:47,916
whoever on some is.
2101
00:35:47,916 --> 00:35:49,500
And it's
2102
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:50,666
the other bitcoiners,
2103
00:35:50,666 --> 00:35:52,291
brother or sister,
2104
00:35:52,291 --> 00:35:53,041
whether you want
2105
00:35:53,041 --> 00:35:53,666
to be or not.
2106
00:35:53,666 --> 00:35:54,250
Because you're
2107
00:35:54,250 --> 00:35:56,250
part of the same body
2108
00:35:56,250 --> 00:35:56,791
now, you're
2109
00:35:56,791 --> 00:35:57,208
part of the
2110
00:35:57,208 --> 00:35:58,500
same organism.
2111
00:35:58,500 --> 00:35:59,791
You're incentivized
2112
00:35:59,791 --> 00:36:00,208
to help
2113
00:36:00,208 --> 00:36:01,458
the other Bitcoiners.
2114
00:36:01,458 --> 00:36:01,875
You can't
2115
00:36:01,875 --> 00:36:02,666
get away from that.
2116
00:36:02,666 --> 00:36:04,125
Like if you don't,
2117
00:36:04,125 --> 00:36:05,083
you lose like.
2118
00:36:05,083 --> 00:36:07,041
And if you do, you you
2119
00:36:07,041 --> 00:36:09,000
if if I help you, Adam
2120
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,458
with anything,
2121
00:36:10,458 --> 00:36:11,666
I benefits.
2122
00:36:11,666 --> 00:36:12,125
Yes.
2123
00:36:12,125 --> 00:36:13,291
And and
2124
00:36:13,291 --> 00:36:14,125
it will be like
2125
00:36:14,125 --> 00:36:15,250
this forever.
2126
00:36:15,250 --> 00:36:15,750
But only
2127
00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:17,375
those who are,
2128
00:36:17,375 --> 00:36:17,791
who are
2129
00:36:17,791 --> 00:36:18,333
who are,
2130
00:36:18,333 --> 00:36:18,750
who have
2131
00:36:18,750 --> 00:36:20,458
realized that. See it.
2132
00:36:20,458 --> 00:36:21,125
And when once
2133
00:36:21,125 --> 00:36:22,250
you see that
2134
00:36:22,250 --> 00:36:23,125
like Bitcoin is,
2135
00:36:25,125 --> 00:36:25,750
what do we call it?
2136
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:26,291
This like
2137
00:36:26,291 --> 00:36:27,250
truth goggles
2138
00:36:27,250 --> 00:36:27,916
and a mirror
2139
00:36:27,916 --> 00:36:28,708
at the same time.
2140
00:36:28,708 --> 00:36:29,250
So it's a way
2141
00:36:29,250 --> 00:36:30,625
to view the world
2142
00:36:30,625 --> 00:36:32,125
through a lens,
2143
00:36:32,125 --> 00:36:32,666
a lens
2144
00:36:32,666 --> 00:36:33,208
and a mirror
2145
00:36:33,208 --> 00:36:33,875
at the same time.
2146
00:36:33,875 --> 00:36:35,000
So it's like a mirror
2147
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:35,541
is a lens.
2148
00:36:35,541 --> 00:36:37,583
But anyway,
2149
00:36:37,583 --> 00:36:38,083
you can
2150
00:36:38,083 --> 00:36:38,500
you can
2151
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:39,333
view yourself
2152
00:36:39,333 --> 00:36:39,666
through it,
2153
00:36:39,666 --> 00:36:40,291
and you can view
2154
00:36:40,291 --> 00:36:41,041
the rest of the world
2155
00:36:41,041 --> 00:36:41,458
through it.
2156
00:36:41,458 --> 00:36:42,125
And you can see
2157
00:36:42,125 --> 00:36:42,875
that, like,
2158
00:36:42,875 --> 00:36:43,541
you are
2159
00:36:43,541 --> 00:36:44,625
truly connected
2160
00:36:44,625 --> 00:36:45,041
to every
2161
00:36:45,041 --> 00:36:45,708
other Bitcoin,
2162
00:36:45,708 --> 00:36:46,083
like in
2163
00:36:46,083 --> 00:36:47,583
a, in a flesh
2164
00:36:47,583 --> 00:36:49,291
and blood sense,
2165
00:36:49,291 --> 00:36:50,125
forever.
2166
00:36:50,125 --> 00:36:51,208
And it
2167
00:36:51,208 --> 00:36:52,833
changes everything.
2168
00:36:52,833 --> 00:36:55,833
That this concept is
2169
00:36:56,250 --> 00:36:56,791
the fact
2170
00:36:56,791 --> 00:36:57,791
that money has ever
2171
00:36:57,791 --> 00:36:59,333
not been that way,
2172
00:36:59,333 --> 00:37:00,041
frankly, is a
2173
00:37:00,041 --> 00:37:00,791
bit offensive
2174
00:37:00,791 --> 00:37:02,250
because money
2175
00:37:02,250 --> 00:37:03,708
is but a tool.
2176
00:37:03,708 --> 00:37:04,208
You know,
2177
00:37:04,208 --> 00:37:04,833
people are
2178
00:37:04,833 --> 00:37:05,250
probably going
2179
00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:06,166
to listen to you
2180
00:37:06,166 --> 00:37:06,916
and, and
2181
00:37:06,916 --> 00:37:08,666
an army would say, oh,
2182
00:37:08,666 --> 00:37:09,333
you know, this is
2183
00:37:09,333 --> 00:37:10,541
this is blasphemous.
2184
00:37:10,541 --> 00:37:11,625
This this is not it.
2185
00:37:12,875 --> 00:37:13,833
You know,
2186
00:37:13,833 --> 00:37:14,916
you are not Bitcoin.
2187
00:37:14,916 --> 00:37:16,041
Bitcoin is money
2188
00:37:16,041 --> 00:37:17,791
and whatever.
2189
00:37:17,791 --> 00:37:18,416
But when we
2190
00:37:18,416 --> 00:37:19,166
think about, well,
2191
00:37:19,166 --> 00:37:20,000
what is money?
2192
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,666
Well money
2193
00:37:20,666 --> 00:37:22,291
holds holds value.
2194
00:37:22,291 --> 00:37:23,375
And then how do you
2195
00:37:23,375 --> 00:37:24,416
how do you get value.
2196
00:37:24,416 --> 00:37:25,916
Well you spend
2197
00:37:25,916 --> 00:37:27,000
your time
2198
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,166
producing value
2199
00:37:28,166 --> 00:37:28,958
with your hands,
2200
00:37:28,958 --> 00:37:29,625
your efforts
2201
00:37:29,625 --> 00:37:30,833
and your brain
2202
00:37:30,833 --> 00:37:31,541
and
2203
00:37:31,541 --> 00:37:32,333
and then you
2204
00:37:32,333 --> 00:37:33,750
receive something
2205
00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:34,833
to represent
2206
00:37:34,833 --> 00:37:35,500
the time
2207
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:36,166
that you've spent,
2208
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:37,125
the value that you,
2209
00:37:37,125 --> 00:37:38,000
that you've created
2210
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,208
with your time
2211
00:37:39,208 --> 00:37:39,541
and so
2212
00:37:39,541 --> 00:37:40,666
if you think about,
2213
00:37:40,666 --> 00:37:40,958
you know,
2214
00:37:40,958 --> 00:37:41,750
if you, if you
2215
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:43,875
if you agree that time
2216
00:37:43,875 --> 00:37:44,875
equals value,
2217
00:37:44,875 --> 00:37:46,541
value equals money,
2218
00:37:46,541 --> 00:37:47,583
then you can just
2219
00:37:47,583 --> 00:37:48,375
remove value.
2220
00:37:48,375 --> 00:37:50,041
Time equals money
2221
00:37:50,041 --> 00:37:50,375
and the
2222
00:37:50,375 --> 00:37:51,500
human's spending
2223
00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:52,500
their time
2224
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:53,583
is going to
2225
00:37:53,583 --> 00:37:55,500
trade it for money,
2226
00:37:55,500 --> 00:37:56,041
which means
2227
00:37:56,041 --> 00:37:57,125
the money is simply
2228
00:37:57,125 --> 00:37:59,041
a reflection of us
2229
00:37:59,041 --> 00:38:00,458
as, as human beings.
2230
00:38:00,458 --> 00:38:01,083
When we spend
2231
00:38:01,083 --> 00:38:02,375
our time to
2232
00:38:02,375 --> 00:38:02,791
in order to
2233
00:38:02,791 --> 00:38:03,750
earn money,
2234
00:38:03,750 --> 00:38:04,250
we are
2235
00:38:04,250 --> 00:38:04,958
we are
2236
00:38:04,958 --> 00:38:05,875
frankly, trading
2237
00:38:05,875 --> 00:38:07,625
time for money.
2238
00:38:07,625 --> 00:38:08,791
Which again
2239
00:38:08,791 --> 00:38:09,541
means the money
2240
00:38:09,541 --> 00:38:10,625
is just simply
2241
00:38:10,625 --> 00:38:11,500
a representation
2242
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:12,541
of our time.
2243
00:38:12,541 --> 00:38:13,625
And when you have
2244
00:38:13,625 --> 00:38:15,375
something else
2245
00:38:15,375 --> 00:38:17,041
blowing that up,
2246
00:38:17,041 --> 00:38:17,458
you've given
2247
00:38:17,458 --> 00:38:18,708
someone else domain
2248
00:38:18,708 --> 00:38:19,541
over your time.
2249
00:38:20,666 --> 00:38:21,083
Yeah.
2250
00:38:21,083 --> 00:38:22,916
And, you're, you're
2251
00:38:22,916 --> 00:38:25,083
you're giving up
2252
00:38:25,083 --> 00:38:26,750
your time for someone.
2253
00:38:26,750 --> 00:38:28,291
You let other people
2254
00:38:28,291 --> 00:38:30,583
kill your time.
2255
00:38:30,583 --> 00:38:32,166
It was for you to kill
2256
00:38:32,166 --> 00:38:33,000
all the time.
2257
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,166
Like,
2258
00:38:34,166 --> 00:38:35,083
you're letting others
2259
00:38:35,083 --> 00:38:35,583
steal it
2260
00:38:35,583 --> 00:38:36,125
while it was
2261
00:38:36,125 --> 00:38:37,208
for you to kill.
2262
00:38:37,208 --> 00:38:37,791
And the thing
2263
00:38:37,791 --> 00:38:38,958
is, like, the time
2264
00:38:38,958 --> 00:38:39,750
equals value.
2265
00:38:39,750 --> 00:38:40,708
You can't,
2266
00:38:40,708 --> 00:38:41,041
I don't
2267
00:38:41,041 --> 00:38:42,291
really buy that.
2268
00:38:42,291 --> 00:38:43,458
But what I do buy
2269
00:38:43,458 --> 00:38:44,791
is that,
2270
00:38:44,791 --> 00:38:46,625
money gives you a way
2271
00:38:46,625 --> 00:38:48,500
of evaluating
2272
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:49,625
how well
2273
00:38:49,625 --> 00:38:51,125
you spend your time.
2274
00:38:51,125 --> 00:38:52,166
So the market,
2275
00:38:52,166 --> 00:38:53,541
a pure market signal,
2276
00:38:53,541 --> 00:38:54,041
which you can
2277
00:38:54,041 --> 00:38:54,541
only find
2278
00:38:54,541 --> 00:38:55,625
with Bitcoin,
2279
00:38:55,625 --> 00:38:56,458
is telling you
2280
00:38:56,458 --> 00:38:57,208
that if you
2281
00:38:57,208 --> 00:38:58,291
it is telling you
2282
00:38:58,291 --> 00:38:59,041
if you're
2283
00:38:59,041 --> 00:39:00,333
spending your time
2284
00:39:00,333 --> 00:39:02,041
in a good way or not.
2285
00:39:02,041 --> 00:39:02,416
So like
2286
00:39:02,416 --> 00:39:02,750
if you're
2287
00:39:02,750 --> 00:39:04,000
making more sets
2288
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:04,625
by doing
2289
00:39:04,625 --> 00:39:06,291
the things you do,
2290
00:39:06,291 --> 00:39:06,791
you should be
2291
00:39:06,791 --> 00:39:07,708
happy about yourself.
2292
00:39:07,708 --> 00:39:08,833
Your your.
2293
00:39:08,833 --> 00:39:09,666
That was time
2294
00:39:09,666 --> 00:39:12,208
well spent. Yes, yes.
2295
00:39:12,208 --> 00:39:12,791
Well and
2296
00:39:12,791 --> 00:39:14,041
and but
2297
00:39:14,041 --> 00:39:15,541
not necessarily that.
2298
00:39:15,541 --> 00:39:16,625
Just if you can,
2299
00:39:16,625 --> 00:39:17,458
if you can live
2300
00:39:17,458 --> 00:39:18,833
within your means,
2301
00:39:18,833 --> 00:39:19,583
if you have more
2302
00:39:19,583 --> 00:39:20,541
purchasing power
2303
00:39:20,541 --> 00:39:22,250
tomorrow than today,
2304
00:39:22,250 --> 00:39:23,708
then you're fine.
2305
00:39:23,708 --> 00:39:24,833
Forever. Like.
2306
00:39:24,833 --> 00:39:26,166
And if that means,
2307
00:39:26,166 --> 00:39:27,000
you know, you only
2308
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,333
you stacked way back
2309
00:39:29,333 --> 00:39:29,875
and now you're
2310
00:39:29,875 --> 00:39:31,041
just sitting there
2311
00:39:31,041 --> 00:39:31,916
spending more time
2312
00:39:31,916 --> 00:39:32,791
with your family.
2313
00:39:32,791 --> 00:39:34,166
Well, good on you.
2314
00:39:34,166 --> 00:39:36,291
Well, only it's like
2315
00:39:36,291 --> 00:39:36,958
it's it's
2316
00:39:36,958 --> 00:39:37,541
telling you
2317
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:38,541
if you're playing
2318
00:39:38,541 --> 00:39:39,041
this thing
2319
00:39:39,041 --> 00:39:40,625
right or not.
2320
00:39:40,625 --> 00:39:41,250
And that.
2321
00:39:41,250 --> 00:39:41,875
It's a.
2322
00:39:41,875 --> 00:39:42,916
That depends on how
2323
00:39:42,916 --> 00:39:43,291
the rest of
2324
00:39:43,291 --> 00:39:44,375
the world is doing.
2325
00:39:44,375 --> 00:39:45,208
So like if,
2326
00:39:45,208 --> 00:39:46,416
if there's,
2327
00:39:46,416 --> 00:39:47,583
a disaster,
2328
00:39:47,583 --> 00:39:48,166
then everyone
2329
00:39:48,166 --> 00:39:48,958
needs to chip in
2330
00:39:48,958 --> 00:39:49,666
because you can't
2331
00:39:49,666 --> 00:39:50,666
just sit on your ass
2332
00:39:50,666 --> 00:39:51,333
and and
2333
00:39:51,333 --> 00:39:52,250
let your purchasing
2334
00:39:52,250 --> 00:39:53,208
power increase
2335
00:39:53,208 --> 00:39:53,666
because that
2336
00:39:53,666 --> 00:39:54,166
won't work
2337
00:39:54,166 --> 00:39:55,208
in that scenario.
2338
00:39:55,208 --> 00:39:56,666
But if it does work
2339
00:39:56,666 --> 00:39:57,666
in a scenario
2340
00:39:57,666 --> 00:39:58,291
where everyone
2341
00:39:58,291 --> 00:39:58,833
is working for
2342
00:39:58,833 --> 00:39:59,458
everyone else,
2343
00:39:59,458 --> 00:40:00,833
and with Bitcoin,
2344
00:40:00,833 --> 00:40:02,375
it's just telling us
2345
00:40:02,375 --> 00:40:03,625
what what should be
2346
00:40:03,625 --> 00:40:04,333
obvious
2347
00:40:04,333 --> 00:40:04,708
should have
2348
00:40:04,708 --> 00:40:05,750
been obvious all along
2349
00:40:05,750 --> 00:40:06,750
that we're better off
2350
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:07,583
cooperating
2351
00:40:07,583 --> 00:40:08,375
than addressing
2352
00:40:08,375 --> 00:40:09,208
against one another.
2353
00:40:09,208 --> 00:40:10,083
Yes, because that's
2354
00:40:10,083 --> 00:40:11,083
the only thing we took
2355
00:40:11,083 --> 00:40:11,916
out of the equation
2356
00:40:11,916 --> 00:40:13,458
is the aggression
2357
00:40:13,458 --> 00:40:14,250
that you
2358
00:40:14,250 --> 00:40:15,000
can't steal it.
2359
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:15,541
You can't make
2360
00:40:15,541 --> 00:40:16,708
more of it. You can't.
2361
00:40:16,708 --> 00:40:17,916
You can't steal,
2362
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:18,791
you can't aggress,
2363
00:40:18,791 --> 00:40:19,666
you can't violate
2364
00:40:19,666 --> 00:40:20,250
someone else's
2365
00:40:20,250 --> 00:40:20,958
property.
2366
00:40:20,958 --> 00:40:21,875
Their the. Aggression.
2367
00:40:21,875 --> 00:40:23,250
Everything is good.
2368
00:40:23,250 --> 00:40:23,708
And we're
2369
00:40:23,708 --> 00:40:24,916
I feel like we are,
2370
00:40:25,916 --> 00:40:26,250
yeah.
2371
00:40:26,250 --> 00:40:27,208
Bitcoin forces you
2372
00:40:27,208 --> 00:40:28,958
to obey the the
2373
00:40:28,958 --> 00:40:30,458
the cobra effect
2374
00:40:30,458 --> 00:40:31,500
as you will.
2375
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:32,541
And and it
2376
00:40:32,541 --> 00:40:34,208
it aligns incentives
2377
00:40:34,208 --> 00:40:34,833
in the way
2378
00:40:34,833 --> 00:40:35,791
that you have
2379
00:40:35,791 --> 00:40:36,416
described.
2380
00:40:36,416 --> 00:40:37,500
We've got now
2381
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:38,791
a monetary system
2382
00:40:38,791 --> 00:40:40,791
where unilaterally
2383
00:40:40,791 --> 00:40:41,375
everyone
2384
00:40:41,375 --> 00:40:42,541
has the opportunity
2385
00:40:42,541 --> 00:40:43,875
to participate.
2386
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:45,666
But to your point
2387
00:40:45,666 --> 00:40:47,250
not everyone can
2388
00:40:47,250 --> 00:40:49,083
or will do it equally.
2389
00:40:49,083 --> 00:40:49,708
And so it
2390
00:40:49,708 --> 00:40:51,000
creates this.
2391
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:51,666
It's like I'm
2392
00:40:51,666 --> 00:40:52,500
not going to worry
2393
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:53,250
about fighting
2394
00:40:53,250 --> 00:40:54,125
everybody else.
2395
00:40:54,125 --> 00:40:54,958
I'm going to work
2396
00:40:54,958 --> 00:40:55,750
internally.
2397
00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:56,083
I'm going to
2398
00:40:56,083 --> 00:40:57,166
work on myself
2399
00:40:57,166 --> 00:40:57,833
so that I'm
2400
00:40:57,833 --> 00:40:58,666
able to produce
2401
00:40:58,666 --> 00:40:59,125
more sort of
2402
00:40:59,125 --> 00:40:59,708
I can get a
2403
00:40:59,708 --> 00:41:00,708
bigger piece
2404
00:41:00,708 --> 00:41:01,333
of the pie.
2405
00:41:01,333 --> 00:41:02,541
This is a pure form
2406
00:41:02,541 --> 00:41:03,541
of meritocracy.
2407
00:41:03,541 --> 00:41:04,541
This is meritocracy,
2408
00:41:04,541 --> 00:41:04,875
money.
2409
00:41:04,875 --> 00:41:06,000
This is like
2410
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:06,916
this is the holy grail
2411
00:41:06,916 --> 00:41:07,791
of aligned incentives.
2412
00:41:07,791 --> 00:41:08,791
Rather than,
2413
00:41:08,791 --> 00:41:09,041
you know,
2414
00:41:09,041 --> 00:41:10,833
where we are today.
2415
00:41:10,833 --> 00:41:12,750
We just did a video,
2416
00:41:12,750 --> 00:41:14,583
on corporate ocracy,
2417
00:41:14,583 --> 00:41:15,625
which is a newer term
2418
00:41:15,625 --> 00:41:17,041
that I had not not
2419
00:41:17,041 --> 00:41:17,458
heard of,
2420
00:41:17,458 --> 00:41:18,750
which is basically,
2421
00:41:18,750 --> 00:41:19,083
you know,
2422
00:41:19,083 --> 00:41:20,166
large corporations
2423
00:41:20,166 --> 00:41:20,666
effectively
2424
00:41:20,666 --> 00:41:21,416
being an arm
2425
00:41:21,416 --> 00:41:22,083
of the government,
2426
00:41:22,083 --> 00:41:23,375
an arm of the state.
2427
00:41:23,375 --> 00:41:24,125
The state
2428
00:41:24,125 --> 00:41:24,791
is going to
2429
00:41:24,791 --> 00:41:26,458
put pressure on
2430
00:41:26,458 --> 00:41:27,333
and then reward
2431
00:41:27,333 --> 00:41:29,041
those that respond.
2432
00:41:29,041 --> 00:41:30,250
And,
2433
00:41:30,250 --> 00:41:31,416
when it becomes
2434
00:41:31,416 --> 00:41:32,500
more efficient
2435
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:34,125
to lobby the state,
2436
00:41:34,125 --> 00:41:35,708
then to do R&D
2437
00:41:35,708 --> 00:41:36,166
and market
2438
00:41:36,166 --> 00:41:37,291
your business,
2439
00:41:37,291 --> 00:41:39,416
you can see a decline
2440
00:41:39,416 --> 00:41:40,625
in society.
2441
00:41:40,625 --> 00:41:41,666
It's no longer
2442
00:41:41,666 --> 00:41:42,750
providing
2443
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:43,541
the most amount
2444
00:41:43,541 --> 00:41:44,791
of people value.
2445
00:41:44,791 --> 00:41:45,958
You're providing those
2446
00:41:45,958 --> 00:41:46,750
with the most power
2447
00:41:46,750 --> 00:41:47,125
value.
2448
00:41:47,125 --> 00:41:47,791
And Bitcoin
2449
00:41:47,791 --> 00:41:48,875
completely flips
2450
00:41:48,875 --> 00:41:49,750
that script,
2451
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:50,833
which again
2452
00:41:50,833 --> 00:41:51,833
makes me super bullish
2453
00:41:51,833 --> 00:41:53,083
on the future.
2454
00:41:53,083 --> 00:41:53,666
No,
2455
00:41:53,666 --> 00:41:54,750
the opposite of
2456
00:41:54,750 --> 00:41:55,625
quality is
2457
00:41:55,625 --> 00:41:56,666
not inequality.
2458
00:41:56,666 --> 00:41:57,750
It's equality.
2459
00:41:57,750 --> 00:41:58,500
Yeah, right.
2460
00:41:59,791 --> 00:42:00,791
100%.
2461
00:42:00,791 --> 00:42:01,083
Yeah.
2462
00:42:01,083 --> 00:42:02,375
You said
2463
00:42:02,375 --> 00:42:03,416
something intrigued me
2464
00:42:03,416 --> 00:42:03,708
there.
2465
00:42:03,708 --> 00:42:04,833
The cobra effect.
2466
00:42:04,833 --> 00:42:06,750
What is that?
2467
00:42:06,750 --> 00:42:07,833
So the cobra effect
2468
00:42:07,833 --> 00:42:10,083
stems back,
2469
00:42:10,083 --> 00:42:10,625
and actually,
2470
00:42:10,625 --> 00:42:11,583
it's funny,
2471
00:42:11,583 --> 00:42:12,416
I say this
2472
00:42:12,416 --> 00:42:14,250
as if it's fact.
2473
00:42:14,250 --> 00:42:14,875
I don't think
2474
00:42:14,875 --> 00:42:15,666
there's documented
2475
00:42:15,666 --> 00:42:16,791
record of this,
2476
00:42:16,791 --> 00:42:17,666
but we will.
2477
00:42:17,666 --> 00:42:18,541
Let's just assume
2478
00:42:18,541 --> 00:42:19,041
that there is
2479
00:42:19,041 --> 00:42:19,625
and we'll take it
2480
00:42:19,625 --> 00:42:20,041
as fact.
2481
00:42:20,041 --> 00:42:20,583
But the
2482
00:42:20,583 --> 00:42:21,708
the thesis holds true
2483
00:42:21,708 --> 00:42:23,208
either way.
2484
00:42:23,208 --> 00:42:23,583
When the
2485
00:42:23,583 --> 00:42:24,208
British government
2486
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:24,708
took over
2487
00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:26,666
India in the 15,
2488
00:42:26,666 --> 00:42:28,000
1600s,
2489
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:28,291
there was a
2490
00:42:28,291 --> 00:42:29,958
cobra problem.
2491
00:42:29,958 --> 00:42:30,875
The, the
2492
00:42:30,875 --> 00:42:31,708
the the nation
2493
00:42:31,708 --> 00:42:33,000
of India was overrun
2494
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:33,583
with cobras.
2495
00:42:33,583 --> 00:42:34,583
It was eating
2496
00:42:34,583 --> 00:42:35,416
like children
2497
00:42:35,416 --> 00:42:36,750
and citizens.
2498
00:42:36,750 --> 00:42:37,333
And the
2499
00:42:37,333 --> 00:42:38,000
British government
2500
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:38,458
said,
2501
00:42:38,458 --> 00:42:39,583
we can't have this.
2502
00:42:39,583 --> 00:42:40,708
We must
2503
00:42:40,708 --> 00:42:41,833
kill the Cobra.
2504
00:42:41,833 --> 00:42:42,041
And they
2505
00:42:42,041 --> 00:42:43,833
put a bounty out
2506
00:42:43,833 --> 00:42:45,875
on the head of a cobra
2507
00:42:45,875 --> 00:42:47,625
so that any individual
2508
00:42:47,625 --> 00:42:48,541
could go out,
2509
00:42:48,541 --> 00:42:49,416
find a cobra,
2510
00:42:49,416 --> 00:42:50,666
kill the cobra,
2511
00:42:50,666 --> 00:42:51,208
take its head
2512
00:42:51,208 --> 00:42:52,166
back to the government
2513
00:42:52,166 --> 00:42:53,125
and say, here you go.
2514
00:42:53,125 --> 00:42:53,750
And they would get
2515
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:54,791
a wage of some
2516
00:42:54,791 --> 00:42:55,500
of some sort,
2517
00:42:57,166 --> 00:42:57,583
which on the
2518
00:42:57,583 --> 00:42:58,791
surface sounds very,
2519
00:42:58,791 --> 00:42:59,916
very good.
2520
00:42:59,916 --> 00:43:01,291
But like every
2521
00:43:01,291 --> 00:43:02,458
artificial force
2522
00:43:02,458 --> 00:43:03,458
entering into a
2523
00:43:03,458 --> 00:43:04,541
natural environment,
2524
00:43:04,541 --> 00:43:05,583
there are secondary
2525
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:06,208
and tertiary
2526
00:43:06,208 --> 00:43:06,875
consequences.
2527
00:43:06,875 --> 00:43:07,625
So what happened?
2528
00:43:07,625 --> 00:43:08,291
Well,
2529
00:43:08,291 --> 00:43:08,791
people started
2530
00:43:08,791 --> 00:43:09,958
breeding cobras
2531
00:43:09,958 --> 00:43:10,500
so they would
2532
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:11,458
capture them.
2533
00:43:11,458 --> 00:43:12,791
They would not kill them
2534
00:43:12,791 --> 00:43:13,166
and they would
2535
00:43:13,166 --> 00:43:14,041
breed them.
2536
00:43:14,041 --> 00:43:15,500
And then, you know,
2537
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:16,291
over the course
2538
00:43:16,291 --> 00:43:17,958
of this breeding time,
2539
00:43:17,958 --> 00:43:18,541
they would bring
2540
00:43:18,541 --> 00:43:20,250
in ten cobras,
2541
00:43:20,250 --> 00:43:21,208
all for the state
2542
00:43:21,208 --> 00:43:22,000
to give them
2543
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,041
ten wages.
2544
00:43:24,041 --> 00:43:24,708
And now the state
2545
00:43:24,708 --> 00:43:25,500
has a choice.
2546
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:26,541
We can, you know,
2547
00:43:26,541 --> 00:43:27,041
the Cobras are
2548
00:43:27,041 --> 00:43:28,625
still going down.
2549
00:43:28,625 --> 00:43:29,125
The Cobras
2550
00:43:29,125 --> 00:43:30,625
are contained.
2551
00:43:30,625 --> 00:43:31,708
This is less cobra
2552
00:43:31,708 --> 00:43:33,333
accidents per capita,
2553
00:43:33,333 --> 00:43:34,208
but we're
2554
00:43:34,208 --> 00:43:34,625
getting taken
2555
00:43:34,625 --> 00:43:35,458
advantage of.
2556
00:43:35,458 --> 00:43:36,166
Of course, the
2557
00:43:36,166 --> 00:43:37,166
the monarchy hates
2558
00:43:37,166 --> 00:43:37,458
being taken
2559
00:43:37,458 --> 00:43:38,000
advantage of.
2560
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,833
So away with this
2561
00:43:39,833 --> 00:43:41,166
Cobra wage.
2562
00:43:41,166 --> 00:43:42,291
And what do you think
2563
00:43:42,291 --> 00:43:43,666
the farmers did
2564
00:43:43,666 --> 00:43:44,458
with all of
2565
00:43:44,458 --> 00:43:46,125
their cobras?
2566
00:43:46,125 --> 00:43:47,250
Well, out
2567
00:43:47,250 --> 00:43:48,875
they go into the wild.
2568
00:43:48,875 --> 00:43:49,541
Why would I
2569
00:43:49,541 --> 00:43:50,375
farm cobras?
2570
00:43:50,375 --> 00:43:50,791
Why would I
2571
00:43:50,791 --> 00:43:51,958
kill a cobra
2572
00:43:51,958 --> 00:43:53,125
when I'm no longer
2573
00:43:53,125 --> 00:43:54,541
getting paid to do so?
2574
00:43:54,541 --> 00:43:56,333
And so in effect,
2575
00:43:56,333 --> 00:43:57,291
after I,
2576
00:43:57,291 --> 00:43:58,083
you know, whatever
2577
00:43:58,083 --> 00:43:58,375
the amount
2578
00:43:58,375 --> 00:43:59,541
of time was,
2579
00:43:59,541 --> 00:44:00,708
the Cobra problem
2580
00:44:00,708 --> 00:44:02,166
got infinitely worse.
2581
00:44:02,166 --> 00:44:03,000
And there was now
2582
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,583
more cobras,
2583
00:44:04,583 --> 00:44:05,416
in the wild,
2584
00:44:05,416 --> 00:44:07,000
killing more citizens
2585
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:07,916
after this
2586
00:44:07,916 --> 00:44:09,041
unnatural force
2587
00:44:09,041 --> 00:44:10,041
came in
2588
00:44:10,041 --> 00:44:10,833
with, frankly,
2589
00:44:10,833 --> 00:44:11,791
the best intentions.
2590
00:44:11,791 --> 00:44:12,041
You know,
2591
00:44:12,041 --> 00:44:13,208
sometimes I do believe
2592
00:44:13,208 --> 00:44:14,166
the state is evil
2593
00:44:14,166 --> 00:44:15,666
in a lot of ways.
2594
00:44:15,666 --> 00:44:16,291
But I don't
2595
00:44:16,291 --> 00:44:16,708
believe that
2596
00:44:16,708 --> 00:44:18,416
everything they do,
2597
00:44:18,416 --> 00:44:19,583
has mal intent.
2598
00:44:21,166 --> 00:44:21,750
They just doesn't.
2599
00:44:21,750 --> 00:44:22,916
Have.
2600
00:44:22,916 --> 00:44:23,458
The. Exactly.
2601
00:44:23,458 --> 00:44:24,333
They're just ignoring
2602
00:44:24,333 --> 00:44:25,166
the cobra effect.
2603
00:44:25,166 --> 00:44:25,333
They're
2604
00:44:25,333 --> 00:44:26,875
ignoring physics
2605
00:44:26,875 --> 00:44:28,166
that, you know,
2606
00:44:28,166 --> 00:44:29,791
I can't have all the
2607
00:44:29,791 --> 00:44:31,083
the happy intent
2608
00:44:31,083 --> 00:44:31,625
in the world
2609
00:44:31,625 --> 00:44:32,541
jumping off a cliff
2610
00:44:32,541 --> 00:44:34,291
and flapping my arms.
2611
00:44:34,291 --> 00:44:34,833
I'm just going
2612
00:44:34,833 --> 00:44:35,250
to tumble.
2613
00:44:35,250 --> 00:44:36,208
Physics doesn't work
2614
00:44:36,208 --> 00:44:36,958
that way.
2615
00:44:36,958 --> 00:44:38,000
And the same way,
2616
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:38,250
you know,
2617
00:44:38,250 --> 00:44:39,000
the British government
2618
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:39,333
had all the
2619
00:44:39,333 --> 00:44:41,041
positive vibes
2620
00:44:41,041 --> 00:44:42,041
that just
2621
00:44:42,041 --> 00:44:43,166
gave messed up.
2622
00:44:43,166 --> 00:44:44,041
You cannot no, no
2623
00:44:44,041 --> 00:44:45,416
natural forces in.
2624
00:44:45,416 --> 00:44:46,583
This is,
2625
00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:47,583
I believe this story
2626
00:44:47,583 --> 00:44:48,125
to be true.
2627
00:44:48,125 --> 00:44:48,541
I've heard it
2628
00:44:48,541 --> 00:44:49,083
many times
2629
00:44:49,083 --> 00:44:49,625
before, and
2630
00:44:49,625 --> 00:44:50,458
I have no reason
2631
00:44:50,458 --> 00:44:51,000
to doubt
2632
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,833
its truthfulness.
2633
00:44:52,833 --> 00:44:54,541
And,
2634
00:44:54,541 --> 00:44:55,500
I mean, you see it
2635
00:44:55,500 --> 00:44:56,000
everywhere,
2636
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,125
but the thing is that
2637
00:44:57,125 --> 00:44:57,666
politicians
2638
00:44:57,666 --> 00:44:58,333
don't realize
2639
00:44:58,333 --> 00:44:59,000
is that you get
2640
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,125
what you pay for,
2641
00:45:00,125 --> 00:45:00,791
but they don't
2642
00:45:00,791 --> 00:45:01,708
understand what
2643
00:45:01,708 --> 00:45:03,000
they're paying for.
2644
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,250
So if you're paying in
2645
00:45:05,250 --> 00:45:07,125
non-pro active people,
2646
00:45:07,125 --> 00:45:07,750
then you get
2647
00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:09,125
non productivity.
2648
00:45:09,125 --> 00:45:09,750
That's that's
2649
00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:10,708
what you're paying for
2650
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:11,041
and that's
2651
00:45:11,041 --> 00:45:12,333
what you're gonna get.
2652
00:45:12,333 --> 00:45:13,416
And if you pay for
2653
00:45:13,416 --> 00:45:14,791
people to be sick
2654
00:45:14,791 --> 00:45:15,666
then you get sick.
2655
00:45:15,666 --> 00:45:16,625
People.
2656
00:45:16,625 --> 00:45:17,916
The people the
2657
00:45:17,916 --> 00:45:18,833
the people have
2658
00:45:18,833 --> 00:45:19,500
the incentive
2659
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:20,625
to be sick.
2660
00:45:20,625 --> 00:45:22,125
If you pay
2661
00:45:22,125 --> 00:45:23,833
pensions you get,
2662
00:45:25,083 --> 00:45:27,708
you know, old people
2663
00:45:27,708 --> 00:45:29,458
and
2664
00:45:29,458 --> 00:45:30,208
you'll get people
2665
00:45:30,208 --> 00:45:31,416
that no longer work
2666
00:45:31,416 --> 00:45:32,166
like this is
2667
00:45:32,166 --> 00:45:33,916
this is like,
2668
00:45:33,916 --> 00:45:35,166
so, so I think that's
2669
00:45:35,166 --> 00:45:36,333
that's the key.
2670
00:45:36,333 --> 00:45:38,375
Like, and that's,
2671
00:45:38,375 --> 00:45:39,458
why politicians are
2672
00:45:39,458 --> 00:45:40,833
so ill fit for the,
2673
00:45:40,833 --> 00:45:42,000
for the jobs
2674
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,208
because they, they,
2675
00:45:43,208 --> 00:45:44,750
they are themselves
2676
00:45:44,750 --> 00:45:45,875
not incentivized
2677
00:45:45,875 --> 00:45:46,666
to understand
2678
00:45:46,666 --> 00:45:47,041
what they're
2679
00:45:47,041 --> 00:45:47,916
paying for
2680
00:45:47,916 --> 00:45:48,541
because they don't
2681
00:45:48,541 --> 00:45:49,291
have to care,
2682
00:45:49,291 --> 00:45:49,833
because they're
2683
00:45:49,833 --> 00:45:50,791
paying other people
2684
00:45:50,791 --> 00:45:51,333
with other
2685
00:45:51,333 --> 00:45:52,208
people's money.
2686
00:45:52,208 --> 00:45:52,458
Yeah.
2687
00:45:52,458 --> 00:45:53,000
So they know
2688
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,250
that's incentivized.
2689
00:45:54,250 --> 00:45:54,750
Not only are they
2690
00:45:54,750 --> 00:45:55,958
not incentivized,
2691
00:45:55,958 --> 00:45:56,333
they are
2692
00:45:56,333 --> 00:45:57,541
the incentivized.
2693
00:45:57,541 --> 00:45:57,708
Yeah.
2694
00:45:57,708 --> 00:45:58,583
They they're
2695
00:45:58,583 --> 00:46:01,041
life gets worse
2696
00:46:01,041 --> 00:46:02,041
if they adopt
2697
00:46:02,041 --> 00:46:03,541
sound money,
2698
00:46:03,541 --> 00:46:03,875
you know,
2699
00:46:03,875 --> 00:46:05,208
based principles.
2700
00:46:05,208 --> 00:46:06,083
And that's a problem.
2701
00:46:06,083 --> 00:46:07,625
That's a big problem.
2702
00:46:07,625 --> 00:46:08,291
Yeah.
2703
00:46:08,291 --> 00:46:09,416
And it's,
2704
00:46:09,416 --> 00:46:10,833
but but I find it
2705
00:46:10,833 --> 00:46:11,708
so fascinating,
2706
00:46:11,708 --> 00:46:12,541
I keep falling
2707
00:46:12,541 --> 00:46:13,375
for the same thing
2708
00:46:13,375 --> 00:46:14,291
over and over again
2709
00:46:14,291 --> 00:46:15,833
and know that we
2710
00:46:15,833 --> 00:46:16,750
human beings
2711
00:46:16,750 --> 00:46:18,166
like that,
2712
00:46:18,166 --> 00:46:19,041
it's like this, this
2713
00:46:19,041 --> 00:46:20,125
constant struggle
2714
00:46:20,125 --> 00:46:21,541
between
2715
00:46:21,541 --> 00:46:22,583
I look at as
2716
00:46:22,583 --> 00:46:24,000
between barbarism
2717
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,000
and civilization
2718
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:25,916
or between,
2719
00:46:25,916 --> 00:46:27,333
fang and claw and,
2720
00:46:27,333 --> 00:46:28,083
and free
2721
00:46:28,083 --> 00:46:29,000
market competition.
2722
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:29,666
Because I think
2723
00:46:29,666 --> 00:46:31,166
they're diametrically
2724
00:46:31,166 --> 00:46:32,208
opposite, like
2725
00:46:32,208 --> 00:46:32,958
they are.
2726
00:46:34,541 --> 00:46:35,458
Either we do things
2727
00:46:35,458 --> 00:46:36,458
by collaborating
2728
00:46:36,458 --> 00:46:38,500
or we do, like, there
2729
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:39,875
there are two ways of
2730
00:46:39,875 --> 00:46:41,291
of finding
2731
00:46:41,291 --> 00:46:42,666
the correct owner
2732
00:46:42,666 --> 00:46:43,666
for a thing,
2733
00:46:43,666 --> 00:46:44,958
a good or a service
2734
00:46:44,958 --> 00:46:45,666
or whatever,
2735
00:46:45,666 --> 00:46:46,833
or a piece of land.
2736
00:46:46,833 --> 00:46:47,666
And that is,
2737
00:46:47,666 --> 00:46:47,958
either
2738
00:46:47,958 --> 00:46:48,708
you find it out
2739
00:46:48,708 --> 00:46:49,500
on the market
2740
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:51,541
or you fight for it.
2741
00:46:51,541 --> 00:46:52,458
And so, so
2742
00:46:52,458 --> 00:46:52,708
there's
2743
00:46:52,708 --> 00:46:53,416
a civilized way
2744
00:46:53,416 --> 00:46:54,083
to do things
2745
00:46:54,083 --> 00:46:54,875
and a barbaric way
2746
00:46:54,875 --> 00:46:56,166
of doing things.
2747
00:46:56,166 --> 00:46:57,666
And Bitcoin cannot do
2748
00:46:57,666 --> 00:46:58,541
the barbaric thing.
2749
00:46:58,541 --> 00:46:59,250
It can only do
2750
00:46:59,250 --> 00:47:00,125
the civilized thing.
2751
00:47:00,125 --> 00:47:01,416
So like, yeah.
2752
00:47:01,416 --> 00:47:01,583
Yeah.
2753
00:47:01,583 --> 00:47:02,250
What do you think.
2754
00:47:02,250 --> 00:47:03,166
And so
2755
00:47:03,166 --> 00:47:04,166
why do you think it
2756
00:47:04,166 --> 00:47:05,541
is that
2757
00:47:05,541 --> 00:47:06,583
so many people
2758
00:47:06,583 --> 00:47:08,166
don't understand that
2759
00:47:08,166 --> 00:47:09,541
like like,
2760
00:47:09,541 --> 00:47:09,750
because what
2761
00:47:09,750 --> 00:47:10,166
you're saying
2762
00:47:10,166 --> 00:47:11,250
makes 100% sense
2763
00:47:11,250 --> 00:47:11,833
to me.
2764
00:47:11,833 --> 00:47:13,291
Seems very logical.
2765
00:47:13,291 --> 00:47:13,750
Yeah.
2766
00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:16,041
Because I think that,
2767
00:47:16,041 --> 00:47:18,458
we are so used like,
2768
00:47:18,458 --> 00:47:19,833
hundreds and hundreds
2769
00:47:19,833 --> 00:47:21,458
of generations
2770
00:47:21,458 --> 00:47:23,666
of fraudulent money,
2771
00:47:23,666 --> 00:47:23,916
like,
2772
00:47:23,916 --> 00:47:25,250
this is not, it's
2773
00:47:25,250 --> 00:47:26,500
not anything new.
2774
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:27,000
And, like,
2775
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:27,541
even on a
2776
00:47:27,541 --> 00:47:28,541
gold standard,
2777
00:47:28,541 --> 00:47:29,250
gold isn't
2778
00:47:29,250 --> 00:47:30,583
absolutely finite
2779
00:47:30,583 --> 00:47:31,916
or absolutely scarce.
2780
00:47:31,916 --> 00:47:32,583
Look at China
2781
00:47:32,583 --> 00:47:33,125
recently.
2782
00:47:33,125 --> 00:47:33,708
You see that?
2783
00:47:33,708 --> 00:47:34,416
They just. Yeah.
2784
00:47:34,416 --> 00:47:35,416
Yeah. They found.
2785
00:47:35,416 --> 00:47:37,333
The gold. Yeah. Yeah.
2786
00:47:37,333 --> 00:47:38,291
So, so and,
2787
00:47:39,416 --> 00:47:40,083
all of a sudden
2788
00:47:40,083 --> 00:47:40,541
these things
2789
00:47:40,541 --> 00:47:40,916
are found.
2790
00:47:40,916 --> 00:47:42,541
But like with
2791
00:47:42,541 --> 00:47:44,291
we've lived with this,
2792
00:47:44,291 --> 00:47:45,541
inherent lie
2793
00:47:45,541 --> 00:47:46,125
in the way
2794
00:47:46,125 --> 00:47:46,750
we conduct
2795
00:47:46,750 --> 00:47:47,500
our business
2796
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:49,166
since forever.
2797
00:47:49,166 --> 00:47:50,250
So, so I think
2798
00:47:50,250 --> 00:47:51,541
it's and, you know,
2799
00:47:51,541 --> 00:47:52,500
making money,
2800
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:53,291
especially making
2801
00:47:53,291 --> 00:47:54,041
money fast
2802
00:47:54,041 --> 00:47:55,416
and, has
2803
00:47:55,416 --> 00:47:58,416
always been to, to a,
2804
00:47:58,500 --> 00:47:59,458
greater or lesser
2805
00:47:59,458 --> 00:48:00,666
extent on
2806
00:48:00,666 --> 00:48:01,458
at someone
2807
00:48:01,458 --> 00:48:03,375
else's expense.
2808
00:48:03,375 --> 00:48:04,625
And the fact that
2809
00:48:04,625 --> 00:48:05,125
it doesn't
2810
00:48:05,125 --> 00:48:07,541
have to be at all ever
2811
00:48:07,541 --> 00:48:08,416
is very hard
2812
00:48:08,416 --> 00:48:08,791
for people
2813
00:48:08,791 --> 00:48:09,791
to get in their
2814
00:48:09,791 --> 00:48:10,791
into their heads,
2815
00:48:10,791 --> 00:48:12,000
because everyone see
2816
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,666
that thinks that like,
2817
00:48:14,666 --> 00:48:15,500
that does
2818
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:16,208
not possible.
2819
00:48:16,208 --> 00:48:17,208
Just every
2820
00:48:17,208 --> 00:48:18,250
person on earth
2821
00:48:18,250 --> 00:48:20,000
getting richer
2822
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,875
without anyone losing.
2823
00:48:21,875 --> 00:48:22,458
Like it's
2824
00:48:22,458 --> 00:48:23,083
a very hard
2825
00:48:23,083 --> 00:48:23,916
thing to imagine.
2826
00:48:23,916 --> 00:48:25,500
You think it will
2827
00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:26,791
once we.
2828
00:48:26,791 --> 00:48:27,875
I actually don't think
2829
00:48:27,875 --> 00:48:29,375
we will have
2830
00:48:29,375 --> 00:48:30,541
every person on
2831
00:48:30,541 --> 00:48:31,666
earth getting richer.
2832
00:48:32,875 --> 00:48:34,291
Once let's
2833
00:48:34,291 --> 00:48:35,666
assume Bitcoin is
2834
00:48:35,666 --> 00:48:36,875
is the is
2835
00:48:36,875 --> 00:48:37,541
this is it
2836
00:48:37,541 --> 00:48:39,625
now with like Bitcoin
2837
00:48:39,625 --> 00:48:40,541
I,
2838
00:48:40,541 --> 00:48:41,166
I feel like it
2839
00:48:41,166 --> 00:48:41,750
just it's
2840
00:48:41,750 --> 00:48:42,625
just stabilizes
2841
00:48:42,625 --> 00:48:44,791
everything and
2842
00:48:44,791 --> 00:48:45,750
the value
2843
00:48:45,750 --> 00:48:46,791
just transfers
2844
00:48:46,791 --> 00:48:48,000
to the most
2845
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,375
like the most valuable
2846
00:48:50,375 --> 00:48:51,625
individuals.
2847
00:48:51,625 --> 00:48:52,750
That you know.
2848
00:48:52,750 --> 00:48:53,125
Okay.
2849
00:48:53,125 --> 00:48:53,916
I slightly
2850
00:48:53,916 --> 00:48:54,416
differ here.
2851
00:48:54,416 --> 00:48:56,458
I think we can have
2852
00:48:56,458 --> 00:48:58,291
like richer
2853
00:48:58,291 --> 00:48:59,125
all the time
2854
00:48:59,125 --> 00:48:59,791
for everyone
2855
00:48:59,791 --> 00:49:01,000
if we truly get hyper
2856
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:01,416
bitcoin.
2857
00:49:01,416 --> 00:49:02,250
I, I do think
2858
00:49:02,250 --> 00:49:03,708
the purchasing power
2859
00:49:03,708 --> 00:49:05,208
goes up forever
2860
00:49:05,208 --> 00:49:06,916
because like the year
2861
00:49:06,916 --> 00:49:08,666
the every new good
2862
00:49:08,666 --> 00:49:09,416
or a service
2863
00:49:09,416 --> 00:49:10,333
that is put into
2864
00:49:10,333 --> 00:49:11,791
the Bitcoin economy
2865
00:49:11,791 --> 00:49:12,250
makes it
2866
00:49:12,250 --> 00:49:12,708
bigger
2867
00:49:12,708 --> 00:49:13,208
and makes the
2868
00:49:13,208 --> 00:49:13,833
pie bigger
2869
00:49:13,833 --> 00:49:15,500
for everyone in it.
2870
00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:16,125
And I think that
2871
00:49:16,125 --> 00:49:16,833
that's a process
2872
00:49:16,833 --> 00:49:17,541
that never stops.
2873
00:49:17,541 --> 00:49:18,833
But what does change,
2874
00:49:18,833 --> 00:49:19,291
though, is
2875
00:49:19,291 --> 00:49:20,625
people's behavior.
2876
00:49:20,625 --> 00:49:21,500
Because when
2877
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:22,416
you have money
2878
00:49:22,416 --> 00:49:22,833
that will
2879
00:49:22,833 --> 00:49:23,750
grow in value
2880
00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:25,833
over time forever,
2881
00:49:25,833 --> 00:49:27,000
you will refer
2882
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:27,958
from defer
2883
00:49:27,958 --> 00:49:28,708
from spending
2884
00:49:28,708 --> 00:49:30,083
like you will not be.
2885
00:49:30,083 --> 00:49:30,583
As you're
2886
00:49:30,583 --> 00:49:31,541
not incentivized
2887
00:49:31,541 --> 00:49:32,083
to spend
2888
00:49:32,083 --> 00:49:33,458
as much anymore.
2889
00:49:33,458 --> 00:49:33,708
You are
2890
00:49:33,708 --> 00:49:34,666
incentivized to
2891
00:49:34,666 --> 00:49:35,958
to be careful
2892
00:49:35,958 --> 00:49:36,500
with what
2893
00:49:36,500 --> 00:49:36,875
you use
2894
00:49:36,875 --> 00:49:38,166
your bitcoins for
2895
00:49:38,166 --> 00:49:39,750
or your satoshis for.
2896
00:49:39,750 --> 00:49:40,208
So.
2897
00:49:40,208 --> 00:49:41,375
So I think in the end,
2898
00:49:41,375 --> 00:49:42,333
like we'll
2899
00:49:42,333 --> 00:49:43,041
be helping
2900
00:49:43,041 --> 00:49:44,375
each other out,
2901
00:49:44,375 --> 00:49:45,541
a lot more
2902
00:49:45,541 --> 00:49:47,500
and only spent SATs
2903
00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:49,000
like a few
2904
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:49,708
few times
2905
00:49:49,708 --> 00:49:51,666
per life, maybe.
2906
00:49:51,666 --> 00:49:52,333
So for really
2907
00:49:52,333 --> 00:49:53,333
big things to move
2908
00:49:53,333 --> 00:49:54,333
things around and
2909
00:49:54,333 --> 00:49:55,583
the rest will just be,
2910
00:49:56,750 --> 00:49:58,708
somewhat of a utopian.
2911
00:49:58,708 --> 00:49:59,666
We can all help one
2912
00:49:59,666 --> 00:50:00,833
another really
2913
00:50:00,833 --> 00:50:01,416
get along.
2914
00:50:01,416 --> 00:50:02,291
Value for value.
2915
00:50:02,291 --> 00:50:02,750
Good,
2916
00:50:02,750 --> 00:50:03,416
good stuff
2917
00:50:03,416 --> 00:50:04,416
happening everywhere.
2918
00:50:04,416 --> 00:50:05,250
Like barter system.
2919
00:50:05,250 --> 00:50:06,208
You figure,
2920
00:50:06,208 --> 00:50:07,333
not really barter
2921
00:50:07,333 --> 00:50:07,916
because, like,
2922
00:50:07,916 --> 00:50:08,791
money is important
2923
00:50:08,791 --> 00:50:09,875
for economic
2924
00:50:09,875 --> 00:50:11,375
calculation,
2925
00:50:11,375 --> 00:50:12,583
but we can do that
2926
00:50:12,583 --> 00:50:13,375
like we don't
2927
00:50:13,375 --> 00:50:14,375
really need, like
2928
00:50:14,375 --> 00:50:15,666
if we have trust
2929
00:50:15,666 --> 00:50:16,166
in the base
2930
00:50:16,166 --> 00:50:16,625
layer of
2931
00:50:16,625 --> 00:50:19,625
society, then,
2932
00:50:19,708 --> 00:50:20,500
if you can trust
2933
00:50:20,500 --> 00:50:21,000
other people,
2934
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:21,708
if you could trust
2935
00:50:21,708 --> 00:50:22,291
other people,
2936
00:50:22,291 --> 00:50:22,625
you wouldn't
2937
00:50:22,625 --> 00:50:23,500
need proof of work
2938
00:50:23,500 --> 00:50:24,333
or any of this decent
2939
00:50:24,333 --> 00:50:25,000
sterilization
2940
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:25,416
bullshit.
2941
00:50:25,416 --> 00:50:26,833
You could just, like,
2942
00:50:26,833 --> 00:50:27,166
have a
2943
00:50:27,166 --> 00:50:28,541
ginormous spreadsheet
2944
00:50:28,541 --> 00:50:29,541
for everyone on Earth
2945
00:50:29,541 --> 00:50:30,250
and just trust
2946
00:50:30,250 --> 00:50:31,708
someone with it.
2947
00:50:31,708 --> 00:50:32,625
And that doesn't work.
2948
00:50:32,625 --> 00:50:33,375
That's that's
2949
00:50:33,375 --> 00:50:33,833
the system
2950
00:50:33,833 --> 00:50:34,416
we have now.
2951
00:50:34,416 --> 00:50:35,041
And it's always
2952
00:50:35,041 --> 00:50:35,708
been abused
2953
00:50:35,708 --> 00:50:36,708
like, yeah,
2954
00:50:36,708 --> 00:50:37,375
so but
2955
00:50:37,375 --> 00:50:38,291
it would be way
2956
00:50:38,291 --> 00:50:39,083
more convenient
2957
00:50:39,083 --> 00:50:39,750
because we wouldn't
2958
00:50:39,750 --> 00:50:41,208
need all this node
2959
00:50:41,208 --> 00:50:42,250
running and stuff
2960
00:50:42,250 --> 00:50:42,583
then.
2961
00:50:42,583 --> 00:50:43,708
And resource
2962
00:50:43,708 --> 00:50:46,625
consuming stuff now.
2963
00:50:46,625 --> 00:50:47,375
Unfortunately
2964
00:50:47,375 --> 00:50:48,375
we do and that,
2965
00:50:48,375 --> 00:50:49,625
but the irony of that
2966
00:50:49,625 --> 00:50:50,000
is that
2967
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:50,583
I think that
2968
00:50:50,583 --> 00:50:51,500
at some point
2969
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:52,125
that this is
2970
00:50:52,125 --> 00:50:53,083
deep stuff
2971
00:50:53,083 --> 00:50:53,791
and way
2972
00:50:53,791 --> 00:50:54,666
ahead in the future.
2973
00:50:54,666 --> 00:50:55,750
But I think
2974
00:50:55,750 --> 00:50:56,666
if we have a base
2975
00:50:56,666 --> 00:50:57,333
layer of trust,
2976
00:50:57,333 --> 00:50:58,666
like the
2977
00:50:58,666 --> 00:50:59,250
there is no
2978
00:50:59,250 --> 00:51:00,166
second best,
2979
00:51:00,166 --> 00:51:01,500
but the second best
2980
00:51:01,500 --> 00:51:01,875
is your
2981
00:51:01,875 --> 00:51:03,041
reputational capital.
2982
00:51:03,041 --> 00:51:03,541
It's like
2983
00:51:03,541 --> 00:51:04,500
how trustworthy
2984
00:51:04,500 --> 00:51:04,833
you are.
2985
00:51:04,833 --> 00:51:05,083
That's
2986
00:51:05,083 --> 00:51:05,833
how you get ahead
2987
00:51:05,833 --> 00:51:06,000
in the
2988
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,083
Bitcoin economy.
2989
00:51:07,083 --> 00:51:07,958
If you have shown
2990
00:51:07,958 --> 00:51:08,916
to be trustworthy
2991
00:51:08,916 --> 00:51:10,083
over a long time,
2992
00:51:10,083 --> 00:51:11,125
then yeah,
2993
00:51:12,125 --> 00:51:12,791
why wouldn't
2994
00:51:12,791 --> 00:51:13,625
people trust you?
2995
00:51:13,625 --> 00:51:14,583
And if they trust you,
2996
00:51:14,583 --> 00:51:15,125
you don't really
2997
00:51:15,125 --> 00:51:15,875
need money.
2998
00:51:15,875 --> 00:51:16,833
You can just keep
2999
00:51:16,833 --> 00:51:17,875
a tab on the other guy
3000
00:51:17,875 --> 00:51:18,875
and have that
3001
00:51:18,875 --> 00:51:20,208
tab forever.
3002
00:51:20,208 --> 00:51:21,000
That's sort of what
3003
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:21,875
the Lightning Network
3004
00:51:21,875 --> 00:51:23,500
is, by the way.
3005
00:51:23,500 --> 00:51:24,500
In a sense.
3006
00:51:24,500 --> 00:51:25,291
But but it's
3007
00:51:25,291 --> 00:51:26,791
more trustless.
3008
00:51:26,791 --> 00:51:27,333
But still,
3009
00:51:27,333 --> 00:51:27,750
I think
3010
00:51:27,750 --> 00:51:29,416
all these other things
3011
00:51:29,416 --> 00:51:31,000
will develop over time
3012
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:31,541
that we can't
3013
00:51:31,541 --> 00:51:32,500
even envision now
3014
00:51:32,500 --> 00:51:32,958
because we're
3015
00:51:32,958 --> 00:51:34,041
so entrenched
3016
00:51:34,041 --> 00:51:35,125
in the fiat world.
3017
00:51:35,125 --> 00:51:36,416
And how that works.
3018
00:51:36,416 --> 00:51:37,791
But on a Bitcoin,
3019
00:51:37,791 --> 00:51:38,875
standard, where,
3020
00:51:38,875 --> 00:51:39,375
where you have
3021
00:51:39,375 --> 00:51:39,958
this base
3022
00:51:39,958 --> 00:51:42,083
layer of all,
3023
00:51:42,083 --> 00:51:43,125
all society
3024
00:51:43,125 --> 00:51:44,916
on like all of
3025
00:51:44,916 --> 00:51:46,291
civilizational base
3026
00:51:46,291 --> 00:51:47,583
layer of
3027
00:51:47,583 --> 00:51:48,875
don't trust verify
3028
00:51:48,875 --> 00:51:49,916
that ironically
3029
00:51:49,916 --> 00:51:51,083
leads to yeah,
3030
00:51:51,083 --> 00:51:51,583
you can trust
3031
00:51:51,583 --> 00:51:52,166
everyone now
3032
00:51:52,166 --> 00:51:53,250
because
3033
00:51:53,250 --> 00:51:53,791
we know that
3034
00:51:53,791 --> 00:51:54,208
we're doing
3035
00:51:54,208 --> 00:51:55,083
our verification.
3036
00:51:55,083 --> 00:51:56,416
So we are trustworthy.
3037
00:51:56,416 --> 00:51:56,916
All of us.
3038
00:51:56,916 --> 00:51:58,541
Like that would
3039
00:51:58,541 --> 00:51:59,375
lead to something
3040
00:51:59,375 --> 00:52:00,208
completely different
3041
00:52:00,208 --> 00:52:00,541
to what
3042
00:52:00,541 --> 00:52:01,291
we're living in now.
3043
00:52:01,291 --> 00:52:02,750
Then like,
3044
00:52:02,750 --> 00:52:03,833
I mean, throw them out
3045
00:52:03,833 --> 00:52:05,208
in 50 years, 50
3046
00:52:05,208 --> 00:52:06,166
generations down
3047
00:52:06,166 --> 00:52:06,916
the line. Like,
3048
00:52:08,250 --> 00:52:08,708
what does that
3049
00:52:08,708 --> 00:52:09,375
even look like?
3050
00:52:09,375 --> 00:52:10,541
Like it's impossible
3051
00:52:10,541 --> 00:52:10,833
to wrap
3052
00:52:10,833 --> 00:52:11,541
your head around.
3053
00:52:11,541 --> 00:52:12,458
And I think
3054
00:52:12,458 --> 00:52:15,416
this is such a.
3055
00:52:15,416 --> 00:52:16,708
Monumental shift
3056
00:52:16,708 --> 00:52:17,625
in how human
3057
00:52:17,625 --> 00:52:18,416
beings operate.
3058
00:52:18,416 --> 00:52:19,500
Like, we can't.
3059
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:20,833
We've only just
3060
00:52:20,833 --> 00:52:21,791
barely scratched
3061
00:52:21,791 --> 00:52:22,833
the surface of what
3062
00:52:22,833 --> 00:52:23,375
this leads
3063
00:52:23,375 --> 00:52:25,708
to, incentive for it
3064
00:52:25,708 --> 00:52:26,458
look wise
3065
00:52:26,458 --> 00:52:27,333
over generations,
3066
00:52:27,333 --> 00:52:28,416
and I can see Lucas
3067
00:52:28,416 --> 00:52:28,958
getting bored
3068
00:52:28,958 --> 00:52:31,250
with my rant here,
3069
00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:33,125
but.
3070
00:52:33,125 --> 00:52:35,416
Yeah.
3071
00:52:35,416 --> 00:52:36,458
I'm pretty sure
3072
00:52:36,458 --> 00:52:36,750
this is
3073
00:52:36,750 --> 00:52:38,708
just your way of,
3074
00:52:38,708 --> 00:52:39,625
of taking a break,
3075
00:52:39,625 --> 00:52:41,166
right? Cuz, see?
3076
00:52:41,166 --> 00:52:42,541
Yeah, maybe it is.
3077
00:52:42,541 --> 00:52:43,416
Maybe. Oh, yeah.
3078
00:52:43,416 --> 00:52:44,416
I should let you in.
3079
00:52:44,416 --> 00:52:44,625
Look,
3080
00:52:44,625 --> 00:52:45,583
I I've been ranting
3081
00:52:45,583 --> 00:52:46,291
for a long time,
3082
00:52:46,291 --> 00:52:47,166
I don't. Yeah, yeah.
3083
00:52:47,166 --> 00:52:47,958
I don't mind you.
3084
00:52:47,958 --> 00:52:48,166
Yeah.
3085
00:52:48,166 --> 00:52:48,958
You're in your element
3086
00:52:48,958 --> 00:52:49,208
today.
3087
00:52:49,208 --> 00:52:50,250
This is, this is nice.
3088
00:52:50,250 --> 00:52:51,916
Oh no, I love it.
3089
00:52:51,916 --> 00:52:53,500
I mean, I, I'm,
3090
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:54,125
I don't think
3091
00:52:54,125 --> 00:52:55,250
continuing this thread
3092
00:52:55,250 --> 00:52:55,625
like this,
3093
00:52:55,625 --> 00:52:56,416
this has been going,
3094
00:52:56,416 --> 00:52:57,666
going, going,
3095
00:52:57,666 --> 00:52:59,375
we we partially,
3096
00:52:59,375 --> 00:53:00,583
did did the thing
3097
00:53:00,583 --> 00:53:02,125
where like you gave
3098
00:53:02,125 --> 00:53:03,708
your really quick
3099
00:53:03,708 --> 00:53:05,416
tldr, but,
3100
00:53:05,416 --> 00:53:06,291
we didn't dig
3101
00:53:06,291 --> 00:53:07,708
into like cat
3102
00:53:07,708 --> 00:53:08,583
how you got into
3103
00:53:08,583 --> 00:53:09,875
bitcoin and, and like,
3104
00:53:11,125 --> 00:53:12,666
how you, you ended up
3105
00:53:12,666 --> 00:53:13,583
building this,
3106
00:53:13,583 --> 00:53:14,333
this business.
3107
00:53:14,333 --> 00:53:15,625
I'm, I'm interested in
3108
00:53:15,625 --> 00:53:16,458
that side of things.
3109
00:53:16,458 --> 00:53:17,375
So can can you
3110
00:53:17,375 --> 00:53:18,458
go into that
3111
00:53:18,458 --> 00:53:19,125
a little bit.
3112
00:53:19,125 --> 00:53:19,583
How did this
3113
00:53:19,583 --> 00:53:21,375
all start for you.
3114
00:53:21,375 --> 00:53:23,625
Yeah. Finding
3115
00:53:23,625 --> 00:53:24,958
finding bitcoin
3116
00:53:24,958 --> 00:53:26,541
like in 2013
3117
00:53:26,541 --> 00:53:27,333
was was
3118
00:53:27,333 --> 00:53:28,333
was like
3119
00:53:28,333 --> 00:53:28,625
very,
3120
00:53:28,625 --> 00:53:31,250
very interesting.
3121
00:53:31,250 --> 00:53:32,500
And I,
3122
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:32,916
I didn't
3123
00:53:32,916 --> 00:53:34,500
fully understand it
3124
00:53:34,500 --> 00:53:35,791
for, for years
3125
00:53:35,791 --> 00:53:36,500
probably probably
3126
00:53:36,500 --> 00:53:36,875
still don't
3127
00:53:36,875 --> 00:53:38,625
fully understand it.
3128
00:53:38,625 --> 00:53:39,625
But went down this
3129
00:53:39,625 --> 00:53:40,958
path of kind of
3130
00:53:40,958 --> 00:53:41,791
trying to poke
3131
00:53:41,791 --> 00:53:42,875
holes in Bitcoin
3132
00:53:42,875 --> 00:53:43,291
and then
3133
00:53:43,291 --> 00:53:44,333
and then understanding
3134
00:53:44,333 --> 00:53:45,416
that,
3135
00:53:45,416 --> 00:53:46,916
oh, like
3136
00:53:46,916 --> 00:53:47,541
cryptography
3137
00:53:47,541 --> 00:53:48,000
makes sense.
3138
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:48,666
Like this.
3139
00:53:48,666 --> 00:53:49,583
And money makes sense
3140
00:53:49,583 --> 00:53:50,208
like this.
3141
00:53:50,208 --> 00:53:50,916
And proof of work
3142
00:53:50,916 --> 00:53:51,416
makes sense.
3143
00:53:51,416 --> 00:53:52,000
Like this.
3144
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:52,916
And, you know,
3145
00:53:52,916 --> 00:53:53,750
maybe I was lucky
3146
00:53:53,750 --> 00:53:54,291
at the time
3147
00:53:54,291 --> 00:53:55,125
there was no FUD
3148
00:53:55,125 --> 00:53:55,916
around Bitcoin.
3149
00:53:55,916 --> 00:53:56,666
There was no news
3150
00:53:56,666 --> 00:53:57,333
around Bitcoin.
3151
00:53:57,333 --> 00:53:58,333
It was just
3152
00:53:58,333 --> 00:53:59,500
it just existed.
3153
00:53:59,500 --> 00:54:00,500
It was like 100 bucks.
3154
00:54:01,958 --> 00:54:02,916
And it was
3155
00:54:02,916 --> 00:54:04,625
on nobody's radar.
3156
00:54:04,625 --> 00:54:07,833
And then moving into
3157
00:54:08,083 --> 00:54:09,041
buying Bitcoin
3158
00:54:09,041 --> 00:54:10,333
ATMs was my
3159
00:54:10,333 --> 00:54:10,791
what was
3160
00:54:10,791 --> 00:54:12,250
was my first
3161
00:54:12,250 --> 00:54:12,791
venture
3162
00:54:12,791 --> 00:54:13,458
into the space.
3163
00:54:13,458 --> 00:54:14,375
I bought a Bitcoin
3164
00:54:14,375 --> 00:54:15,708
ATM in Alberta.
3165
00:54:15,708 --> 00:54:16,291
We were the
3166
00:54:16,291 --> 00:54:18,166
first one in Alberta,
3167
00:54:18,166 --> 00:54:18,958
which was cool or like
3168
00:54:18,958 --> 00:54:19,625
I think the second
3169
00:54:19,625 --> 00:54:20,166
or the third
3170
00:54:20,166 --> 00:54:22,208
in Canada.
3171
00:54:22,208 --> 00:54:23,250
For, you know,
3172
00:54:23,250 --> 00:54:23,791
one of the first
3173
00:54:23,791 --> 00:54:24,458
in the world.
3174
00:54:24,458 --> 00:54:25,500
And that was awesome.
3175
00:54:25,500 --> 00:54:26,916
And so we,
3176
00:54:26,916 --> 00:54:27,625
we built this
3177
00:54:27,625 --> 00:54:28,750
ATM or we,
3178
00:54:28,750 --> 00:54:29,250
we bought this
3179
00:54:29,250 --> 00:54:30,166
ATM, deployed
3180
00:54:30,166 --> 00:54:31,291
it, started operating
3181
00:54:31,291 --> 00:54:32,708
it, bought some more,
3182
00:54:32,708 --> 00:54:35,041
bought some more.
3183
00:54:35,041 --> 00:54:35,583
And then before
3184
00:54:35,583 --> 00:54:37,583
we knew it, we had,
3185
00:54:37,583 --> 00:54:38,041
you know, whatever
3186
00:54:38,041 --> 00:54:38,916
20 ATMs
3187
00:54:38,916 --> 00:54:39,333
or whatever
3188
00:54:39,333 --> 00:54:40,291
around, around
3189
00:54:40,291 --> 00:54:41,916
Western Canada.
3190
00:54:41,916 --> 00:54:44,916
But in that process,
3191
00:54:45,583 --> 00:54:46,791
the like, you know,
3192
00:54:46,791 --> 00:54:47,500
the meme, it's like,
3193
00:54:47,500 --> 00:54:49,875
what radicalized you?
3194
00:54:49,875 --> 00:54:51,000
It was this process
3195
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,208
here of
3196
00:54:52,208 --> 00:54:54,000
of actually losing,
3197
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:54,750
bank accounts.
3198
00:54:54,750 --> 00:54:56,500
So I am like,
3199
00:54:56,500 --> 00:54:57,416
I'm the most d
3200
00:54:57,416 --> 00:54:58,208
banged man
3201
00:54:58,208 --> 00:54:59,583
in the country.
3202
00:54:59,583 --> 00:55:00,375
I've been banned
3203
00:55:00,375 --> 00:55:01,125
from every single
3204
00:55:01,125 --> 00:55:02,708
major bank in Canada.
3205
00:55:02,708 --> 00:55:03,416
I have been banned
3206
00:55:03,416 --> 00:55:04,333
from most credit
3207
00:55:04,333 --> 00:55:06,000
unions in Alberta.
3208
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,833
And respect that.
3209
00:55:07,833 --> 00:55:08,166
I think,
3210
00:55:10,250 --> 00:55:13,250
and it's, it's,
3211
00:55:13,458 --> 00:55:13,833
it was
3212
00:55:13,833 --> 00:55:15,041
through that process,
3213
00:55:15,041 --> 00:55:15,375
which was a
3214
00:55:15,375 --> 00:55:16,583
couple years
3215
00:55:16,583 --> 00:55:18,041
where I realized
3216
00:55:18,041 --> 00:55:19,750
my actions are always
3217
00:55:19,750 --> 00:55:20,958
is subject
3218
00:55:20,958 --> 00:55:21,958
to the regime,
3219
00:55:21,958 --> 00:55:22,958
my participation
3220
00:55:22,958 --> 00:55:24,041
in the regime,
3221
00:55:24,041 --> 00:55:24,750
and probably
3222
00:55:24,750 --> 00:55:26,333
my political views.
3223
00:55:26,333 --> 00:55:27,666
And that proved, again
3224
00:55:27,666 --> 00:55:29,208
to be true throughout,
3225
00:55:29,208 --> 00:55:30,208
you know, Covid
3226
00:55:30,208 --> 00:55:31,541
and and the
3227
00:55:31,541 --> 00:55:32,875
the horrific ness
3228
00:55:32,875 --> 00:55:33,333
that happened
3229
00:55:33,333 --> 00:55:35,791
here in Canada.
3230
00:55:35,791 --> 00:55:37,291
And so moving
3231
00:55:37,291 --> 00:55:38,333
through this
3232
00:55:38,333 --> 00:55:40,625
process of,
3233
00:55:40,625 --> 00:55:41,708
of, you know,
3234
00:55:41,708 --> 00:55:42,125
having a
3235
00:55:42,125 --> 00:55:43,083
Bitcoin business
3236
00:55:43,083 --> 00:55:43,875
and then being
3237
00:55:43,875 --> 00:55:44,833
basically banished
3238
00:55:44,833 --> 00:55:45,083
from the
3239
00:55:45,083 --> 00:55:46,541
financial system
3240
00:55:46,541 --> 00:55:48,125
that exists today,
3241
00:55:48,125 --> 00:55:48,666
still having
3242
00:55:48,666 --> 00:55:49,833
to pay taxes,
3243
00:55:49,833 --> 00:55:50,041
there's
3244
00:55:50,041 --> 00:55:50,583
this hilarious
3245
00:55:50,583 --> 00:55:52,375
instance.
3246
00:55:52,375 --> 00:55:53,000
So the
3247
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,166
provincial government
3248
00:55:54,166 --> 00:55:54,875
and the federal
3249
00:55:54,875 --> 00:55:55,416
government
3250
00:55:55,416 --> 00:55:56,166
do not allow you
3251
00:55:56,166 --> 00:55:56,916
to pay your taxes
3252
00:55:56,916 --> 00:55:57,958
in cash.
3253
00:55:57,958 --> 00:55:58,875
But I had
3254
00:55:58,875 --> 00:56:00,458
no bank account.
3255
00:56:00,458 --> 00:56:01,500
And so
3256
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:03,125
they were sending me
3257
00:56:03,125 --> 00:56:03,916
late notice.
3258
00:56:03,916 --> 00:56:05,041
And I was like
3259
00:56:05,041 --> 00:56:05,750
at a loss.
3260
00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:06,250
I was like,
3261
00:56:06,250 --> 00:56:07,041
look,
3262
00:56:07,041 --> 00:56:07,708
happy to pay
3263
00:56:07,708 --> 00:56:08,958
you taxes,
3264
00:56:08,958 --> 00:56:10,750
but like,
3265
00:56:10,750 --> 00:56:11,166
give me a
3266
00:56:11,166 --> 00:56:12,375
bank account.
3267
00:56:12,375 --> 00:56:14,416
Like I said.
3268
00:56:14,416 --> 00:56:14,875
A bank
3269
00:56:14,875 --> 00:56:15,958
account is really
3270
00:56:15,958 --> 00:56:16,958
just a
3271
00:56:16,958 --> 00:56:17,666
two out of three
3272
00:56:17,666 --> 00:56:18,875
multi-sig between you,
3273
00:56:18,875 --> 00:56:19,291
the bank
3274
00:56:19,291 --> 00:56:20,125
and the government,
3275
00:56:20,125 --> 00:56:21,541
100%, 100%.
3276
00:56:21,541 --> 00:56:22,583
And and two out of
3277
00:56:22,583 --> 00:56:23,833
those are in bed
3278
00:56:23,833 --> 00:56:24,583
with one another.
3279
00:56:24,583 --> 00:56:26,041
I mean, the bankers,
3280
00:56:26,041 --> 00:56:26,708
occasionally
3281
00:56:26,708 --> 00:56:28,291
give Justin Castrol
3282
00:56:28,291 --> 00:56:29,666
casual blowjobs, but.
3283
00:56:29,666 --> 00:56:30,333
Yes, but
3284
00:56:30,333 --> 00:56:31,291
you do not like
3285
00:56:31,291 --> 00:56:32,208
and therefore you like
3286
00:56:32,208 --> 00:56:33,208
the no.
3287
00:56:33,208 --> 00:56:34,083
It's a great way
3288
00:56:34,083 --> 00:56:34,625
to explain it.
3289
00:56:34,625 --> 00:56:35,791
A two of three
3290
00:56:35,791 --> 00:56:36,541
with you,
3291
00:56:36,541 --> 00:56:36,916
the bank
3292
00:56:36,916 --> 00:56:37,375
and the government.
3293
00:56:37,375 --> 00:56:38,750
That is 100%
3294
00:56:38,750 --> 00:56:39,541
what it is.
3295
00:56:39,541 --> 00:56:40,875
And so so
3296
00:56:40,875 --> 00:56:41,500
yeah, there was,
3297
00:56:41,500 --> 00:56:42,666
there was yeah.
3298
00:56:42,666 --> 00:56:43,416
I had to like,
3299
00:56:43,416 --> 00:56:44,125
pay my taxes
3300
00:56:44,125 --> 00:56:45,416
in cash and,
3301
00:56:45,416 --> 00:56:45,875
I had to
3302
00:56:45,875 --> 00:56:46,416
arrange this
3303
00:56:46,416 --> 00:56:47,166
big ordeal
3304
00:56:47,166 --> 00:56:48,125
and, and go to the,
3305
00:56:48,125 --> 00:56:48,500
go to the,
3306
00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:49,416
build the building
3307
00:56:49,416 --> 00:56:50,208
and do all that.
3308
00:56:50,208 --> 00:56:51,750
It was, it was,
3309
00:56:51,750 --> 00:56:53,041
it was brutal.
3310
00:56:53,041 --> 00:56:54,916
And, so it was
3311
00:56:54,916 --> 00:56:55,666
it was through
3312
00:56:55,666 --> 00:56:56,541
this process
3313
00:56:56,541 --> 00:56:56,958
that I kind
3314
00:56:56,958 --> 00:56:57,833
of realized
3315
00:56:57,833 --> 00:56:58,541
how important
3316
00:56:58,541 --> 00:56:59,583
Self-custody is.
3317
00:56:59,583 --> 00:57:00,125
And, you know,
3318
00:57:00,125 --> 00:57:00,791
the the,
3319
00:57:00,791 --> 00:57:01,291
the nature
3320
00:57:01,291 --> 00:57:02,250
of Bitcoin ATMs,
3321
00:57:02,250 --> 00:57:02,791
of course, is
3322
00:57:02,791 --> 00:57:03,541
just already
3323
00:57:03,541 --> 00:57:04,625
self-custody focused.
3324
00:57:04,625 --> 00:57:04,833
But,
3325
00:57:06,750 --> 00:57:07,625
understanding the
3326
00:57:07,625 --> 00:57:09,666
importance of needing,
3327
00:57:09,666 --> 00:57:10,416
like I
3328
00:57:10,416 --> 00:57:11,625
uniquely need
3329
00:57:11,625 --> 00:57:12,541
to interact
3330
00:57:12,541 --> 00:57:13,875
with the fiat system.
3331
00:57:13,875 --> 00:57:14,458
Cannot buy
3332
00:57:14,458 --> 00:57:15,291
a house in cash.
3333
00:57:15,291 --> 00:57:15,750
You cannot buy a
3334
00:57:15,750 --> 00:57:16,583
car in cash.
3335
00:57:16,583 --> 00:57:16,833
You cannot
3336
00:57:16,833 --> 00:57:17,458
pay your taxes
3337
00:57:17,458 --> 00:57:18,416
in cash.
3338
00:57:18,416 --> 00:57:18,958
Frankly,
3339
00:57:18,958 --> 00:57:19,666
I can barely
3340
00:57:19,666 --> 00:57:20,416
go down the street
3341
00:57:20,416 --> 00:57:22,583
and buy a sandwich
3342
00:57:22,583 --> 00:57:24,000
with cash.
3343
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,291
And so having that,
3344
00:57:26,291 --> 00:57:27,583
you know, work
3345
00:57:27,583 --> 00:57:29,250
not in my favor
3346
00:57:29,250 --> 00:57:31,458
led me to building
3347
00:57:31,458 --> 00:57:32,166
what is now
3348
00:57:32,166 --> 00:57:33,333
Bitcoin well,
3349
00:57:33,333 --> 00:57:34,666
which is
3350
00:57:34,666 --> 00:57:35,125
effectively
3351
00:57:35,125 --> 00:57:36,250
the conduit between
3352
00:57:36,250 --> 00:57:36,666
Bitcoin
3353
00:57:36,666 --> 00:57:38,041
and Self-custody
3354
00:57:38,041 --> 00:57:39,208
and the
3355
00:57:39,208 --> 00:57:39,916
the legacy
3356
00:57:39,916 --> 00:57:40,708
financial system
3357
00:57:40,708 --> 00:57:41,250
for as long
3358
00:57:41,250 --> 00:57:42,583
as it's going to last.
3359
00:57:42,583 --> 00:57:45,000
And I think that it's
3360
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:45,416
yeah, it's
3361
00:57:45,416 --> 00:57:46,208
been a fun journey.
3362
00:57:46,208 --> 00:57:46,708
Like lots
3363
00:57:46,708 --> 00:57:47,166
of learnings.
3364
00:57:47,166 --> 00:57:47,625
I mean, even
3365
00:57:47,625 --> 00:57:49,833
now we've got
3366
00:57:49,833 --> 00:57:50,375
we've got an
3367
00:57:50,375 --> 00:57:51,750
error internally.
3368
00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:52,583
So what happens
3369
00:57:52,583 --> 00:57:53,416
is in Canada,
3370
00:57:53,416 --> 00:57:54,125
as I'm sure
3371
00:57:54,125 --> 00:57:55,375
you remember
3372
00:57:55,375 --> 00:57:56,625
the E-transfer system,
3373
00:57:56,625 --> 00:57:57,125
you log into
3374
00:57:57,125 --> 00:57:57,625
your bank,
3375
00:57:57,625 --> 00:57:58,958
you can send,
3376
00:57:58,958 --> 00:57:59,916
a transfer
3377
00:57:59,916 --> 00:58:00,541
through this
3378
00:58:00,541 --> 00:58:01,625
centralized system
3379
00:58:01,625 --> 00:58:02,583
called Interac,
3380
00:58:02,583 --> 00:58:03,041
and it goes
3381
00:58:03,041 --> 00:58:03,958
from bank to bank
3382
00:58:03,958 --> 00:58:05,375
anywhere in Canada.
3383
00:58:05,375 --> 00:58:06,250
And we use this.
3384
00:58:06,250 --> 00:58:06,625
So you,
3385
00:58:06,625 --> 00:58:06,958
you know,
3386
00:58:06,958 --> 00:58:08,333
our customers log in,
3387
00:58:08,333 --> 00:58:08,791
send us
3388
00:58:08,791 --> 00:58:10,208
an Iraqi transfer
3389
00:58:10,208 --> 00:58:10,500
and then
3390
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:11,750
we send them Bitcoin.
3391
00:58:11,750 --> 00:58:12,416
But the banks
3392
00:58:12,416 --> 00:58:12,708
have started
3393
00:58:12,708 --> 00:58:13,458
blocking
3394
00:58:13,458 --> 00:58:14,583
Interac transfers
3395
00:58:14,583 --> 00:58:15,750
to us.
3396
00:58:15,750 --> 00:58:16,333
One of my friends,
3397
00:58:16,333 --> 00:58:16,875
Saxony,
3398
00:58:16,875 --> 00:58:18,166
signed his mom up
3399
00:58:18,166 --> 00:58:19,083
and he's like, hey,
3400
00:58:19,083 --> 00:58:19,500
it says the
3401
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:20,625
the contact
3402
00:58:20,625 --> 00:58:21,541
denied
3403
00:58:21,541 --> 00:58:22,500
the transaction.
3404
00:58:22,500 --> 00:58:22,791
What are you
3405
00:58:22,791 --> 00:58:23,791
guys doing now?
3406
00:58:23,791 --> 00:58:24,416
I was like, nah,
3407
00:58:24,416 --> 00:58:25,166
the bank block.
3408
00:58:25,166 --> 00:58:25,333
He's like,
3409
00:58:25,333 --> 00:58:25,750
no, no, no, no.
3410
00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:26,916
I called the bank.
3411
00:58:26,916 --> 00:58:27,500
They said
3412
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:28,416
they denied it.
3413
00:58:28,416 --> 00:58:29,291
And or
3414
00:58:29,291 --> 00:58:29,791
they said that
3415
00:58:29,791 --> 00:58:30,916
you declined it.
3416
00:58:30,916 --> 00:58:32,333
And I was like, look,
3417
00:58:32,333 --> 00:58:33,875
if you have the time,
3418
00:58:33,875 --> 00:58:34,416
go through
3419
00:58:34,416 --> 00:58:35,083
this process
3420
00:58:35,083 --> 00:58:35,791
with them.
3421
00:58:35,791 --> 00:58:36,125
Here's
3422
00:58:36,125 --> 00:58:37,416
the questions to ask.
3423
00:58:37,416 --> 00:58:37,791
Here's
3424
00:58:37,791 --> 00:58:38,375
the things you have
3425
00:58:38,375 --> 00:58:39,416
to push on
3426
00:58:39,416 --> 00:58:39,958
and tell me
3427
00:58:39,958 --> 00:58:40,708
what the answer is.
3428
00:58:40,708 --> 00:58:41,791
At the other side,
3429
00:58:41,791 --> 00:58:42,375
he goes through
3430
00:58:42,375 --> 00:58:43,833
five different people,
3431
00:58:43,833 --> 00:58:44,875
two hours
3432
00:58:44,875 --> 00:58:45,958
on the phone,
3433
00:58:45,958 --> 00:58:46,625
and he says
3434
00:58:46,625 --> 00:58:47,791
at the end of it
3435
00:58:47,791 --> 00:58:48,208
they said,
3436
00:58:48,208 --> 00:58:49,083
oh yeah,
3437
00:58:49,083 --> 00:58:50,583
we actually did
3438
00:58:50,583 --> 00:58:51,083
prevent
3439
00:58:51,083 --> 00:58:51,916
this transaction
3440
00:58:51,916 --> 00:58:52,708
from going through.
3441
00:58:52,708 --> 00:58:54,875
We were lying to you.
3442
00:58:54,875 --> 00:58:55,666
But this is for
3443
00:58:55,666 --> 00:58:57,208
your protection.
3444
00:58:57,208 --> 00:58:59,541
And it is shocking.
3445
00:58:59,541 --> 00:59:00,750
The,
3446
00:59:00,750 --> 00:59:01,500
the attitude
3447
00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:01,708
that the
3448
00:59:01,708 --> 00:59:02,416
banking system
3449
00:59:02,416 --> 00:59:03,541
has towards Bitcoin.
3450
00:59:03,541 --> 00:59:04,291
And so anyways,
3451
00:59:04,291 --> 00:59:05,291
back to the error.
3452
00:59:05,291 --> 00:59:06,125
Internally
3453
00:59:06,125 --> 00:59:07,083
we have an error
3454
00:59:07,083 --> 00:59:07,583
that's called
3455
00:59:07,583 --> 00:59:08,375
fuck your bank.
3456
00:59:09,583 --> 00:59:10,416
And that's, that's the
3457
00:59:10,416 --> 00:59:11,541
internal code for it.
3458
00:59:11,541 --> 00:59:12,291
And when there's
3459
00:59:12,291 --> 00:59:12,583
a, there's
3460
00:59:12,583 --> 00:59:13,416
a certain code
3461
00:59:13,416 --> 00:59:15,166
that happens
3462
00:59:15,166 --> 00:59:15,916
the majority
3463
00:59:15,916 --> 00:59:17,416
of the time when,
3464
00:59:17,416 --> 00:59:18,458
when a bank blocks
3465
00:59:18,458 --> 00:59:19,208
our transaction
3466
00:59:19,208 --> 00:59:20,125
and we have to send
3467
00:59:20,125 --> 00:59:21,000
an email
3468
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,000
with, like,
3469
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:23,375
alternative ways to,
3470
00:59:23,375 --> 00:59:24,541
to buy Bitcoin.
3471
00:59:24,541 --> 00:59:24,875
We're a
3472
00:59:24,875 --> 00:59:25,625
legal business.
3473
00:59:25,625 --> 00:59:26,958
We're publicly traded
3474
00:59:26,958 --> 00:59:27,708
in Canada
3475
00:59:27,708 --> 00:59:29,375
and in the USA.
3476
00:59:29,375 --> 00:59:31,333
We pay our taxes,
3477
00:59:31,333 --> 00:59:32,875
and yet we cannot have
3478
00:59:32,875 --> 00:59:33,458
a customer
3479
00:59:33,458 --> 00:59:35,708
send us 100 bucks,
3480
00:59:35,708 --> 00:59:37,833
because we're Bitcoin
3481
00:59:37,833 --> 00:59:40,000
and it's,
3482
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:40,833
this is again,
3483
00:59:40,833 --> 00:59:41,166
this is the
3484
00:59:41,166 --> 00:59:41,958
Cobra effect
3485
00:59:41,958 --> 00:59:43,083
playing out.
3486
00:59:43,083 --> 00:59:45,166
And
3487
00:59:45,166 --> 00:59:46,416
they hide behind
3488
00:59:46,416 --> 00:59:47,166
the guys
3489
00:59:47,166 --> 00:59:48,083
that there's fraud
3490
00:59:48,083 --> 00:59:49,291
in our industry,
3491
00:59:49,291 --> 00:59:50,250
which is true.
3492
00:59:50,250 --> 00:59:51,000
There is fraud
3493
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,083
in our industry
3494
00:59:52,083 --> 00:59:53,500
having non
3495
00:59:53,500 --> 00:59:55,833
undoable money
3496
00:59:55,833 --> 00:59:56,708
is a is a
3497
00:59:56,708 --> 00:59:57,708
haven for fraud.
3498
00:59:57,708 --> 00:59:58,375
For fraud
3499
00:59:58,375 --> 00:59:59,166
with stupid people.
3500
00:59:59,166 --> 01:00:00,250
There's a
3501
01:00:00,250 --> 01:00:00,541
there's
3502
01:00:00,541 --> 01:00:01,500
a lot of people
3503
01:00:01,500 --> 01:00:01,958
that are going
3504
01:00:01,958 --> 01:00:03,708
to be scammed
3505
01:00:03,708 --> 01:00:04,333
that have just
3506
01:00:04,333 --> 01:00:05,083
blindly been
3507
01:00:05,083 --> 01:00:05,583
trusting
3508
01:00:05,583 --> 01:00:06,500
the fiat system
3509
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:07,500
to protect them
3510
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:07,916
and that
3511
01:00:07,916 --> 01:00:09,166
protection is gone.
3512
01:00:09,166 --> 01:00:09,958
And so,
3513
01:00:11,041 --> 01:00:11,833
there is going to
3514
01:00:11,833 --> 01:00:12,416
be a turbulent
3515
01:00:12,416 --> 01:00:13,291
window of time here
3516
01:00:13,291 --> 01:00:13,416
where
3517
01:00:13,416 --> 01:00:14,083
lots of people
3518
01:00:14,083 --> 01:00:14,916
get scammed.
3519
01:00:14,916 --> 01:00:16,833
But
3520
01:00:16,833 --> 01:00:18,125
the
3521
01:00:18,125 --> 01:00:18,791
the response
3522
01:00:18,791 --> 01:00:19,125
is not
3523
01:00:19,125 --> 01:00:20,916
more governance.
3524
01:00:20,916 --> 01:00:21,541
The governance
3525
01:00:21,541 --> 01:00:23,458
created this problem.
3526
01:00:23,458 --> 01:00:24,291
If we think that
3527
01:00:24,291 --> 01:00:25,041
the bureaucrats
3528
01:00:25,041 --> 01:00:25,666
are ever going
3529
01:00:25,666 --> 01:00:26,750
to be smarter
3530
01:00:26,750 --> 01:00:28,500
than the tiny free
3531
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:29,500
market scammers
3532
01:00:29,500 --> 01:00:30,458
who have no morals
3533
01:00:30,458 --> 01:00:31,375
and no laws,
3534
01:00:31,375 --> 01:00:32,416
like we're lying.
3535
01:00:32,416 --> 01:00:32,708
I mean,
3536
01:00:32,708 --> 01:00:33,708
it's showing up to a
3537
01:00:33,708 --> 01:00:34,625
to a gunfight
3538
01:00:34,625 --> 01:00:35,250
with a knife.
3539
01:00:35,250 --> 01:00:36,000
You don't have
3540
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,208
the same tools
3541
01:00:37,208 --> 01:00:38,791
and so yeah.
3542
01:00:38,791 --> 01:00:39,208
Anyways,
3543
01:00:39,208 --> 01:00:40,208
all that to say
3544
01:00:40,208 --> 01:00:40,833
Bitcoin.
3545
01:00:40,833 --> 01:00:42,125
Well,
3546
01:00:42,125 --> 01:00:43,125
is that conduit
3547
01:00:43,125 --> 01:00:44,750
from self-custody
3548
01:00:44,750 --> 01:00:46,833
to fiat land.
3549
01:00:46,833 --> 01:00:47,666
Because we still
3550
01:00:47,666 --> 01:00:48,375
need to live
3551
01:00:48,375 --> 01:00:50,125
in, in fiat land.
3552
01:00:50,125 --> 01:00:51,333
We have this other.
3553
01:00:51,333 --> 01:00:51,666
I'm just on
3554
01:00:51,666 --> 01:00:52,291
stories now.
3555
01:00:52,291 --> 01:00:53,291
But you go ahead
3556
01:00:53,291 --> 01:00:54,250
if you've got.
3557
01:00:54,250 --> 01:00:54,541
No.
3558
01:00:54,541 --> 01:00:55,458
I just think
3559
01:00:55,458 --> 01:00:56,500
of the analogy like
3560
01:00:56,500 --> 01:00:57,375
with the bureaucrats
3561
01:00:57,375 --> 01:00:58,916
being more like,
3562
01:00:58,916 --> 01:00:59,666
you're going
3563
01:00:59,666 --> 01:01:00,750
into a nuclear war
3564
01:01:00,750 --> 01:01:02,458
with a spork.
3565
01:01:02,458 --> 01:01:03,541
Literally,
3566
01:01:03,541 --> 01:01:05,000
literally like you've
3567
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,041
got a close
3568
01:01:06,041 --> 01:01:08,208
range weapon in,
3569
01:01:08,208 --> 01:01:09,166
in a global
3570
01:01:09,166 --> 01:01:09,916
battle, like,
3571
01:01:09,916 --> 01:01:10,375
what are you
3572
01:01:10,375 --> 01:01:11,166
going to be doing?
3573
01:01:12,666 --> 01:01:13,250
That was this
3574
01:01:13,250 --> 01:01:15,208
one instance.
3575
01:01:15,208 --> 01:01:16,083
And this goes to show
3576
01:01:16,083 --> 01:01:16,791
you just how
3577
01:01:16,791 --> 01:01:17,791
either uninformed
3578
01:01:17,791 --> 01:01:18,375
or malicious
3579
01:01:18,375 --> 01:01:19,916
this whole system is.
3580
01:01:19,916 --> 01:01:20,458
My wife need
3581
01:01:20,458 --> 01:01:21,125
a new vehicle.
3582
01:01:21,125 --> 01:01:22,333
We have another kid to
3583
01:01:22,333 --> 01:01:22,791
go to the car
3584
01:01:22,791 --> 01:01:23,333
dealership.
3585
01:01:23,333 --> 01:01:23,750
We pick up
3586
01:01:23,750 --> 01:01:24,750
the right one.
3587
01:01:24,750 --> 01:01:25,583
All right. Great.
3588
01:01:25,583 --> 01:01:26,458
I tell them, look,
3589
01:01:26,458 --> 01:01:28,208
I'm paying in cash.
3590
01:01:28,208 --> 01:01:28,791
They're like,
3591
01:01:28,791 --> 01:01:29,916
no problem.
3592
01:01:29,916 --> 01:01:30,125
You sure
3593
01:01:30,125 --> 01:01:30,416
you don't want
3594
01:01:30,416 --> 01:01:31,416
to finance it?
3595
01:01:31,416 --> 01:01:31,708
I don't want
3596
01:01:31,708 --> 01:01:32,416
to finance it.
3597
01:01:32,416 --> 01:01:33,666
I'm paying in cash.
3598
01:01:33,666 --> 01:01:35,250
Okay. Let's go.
3599
01:01:35,250 --> 01:01:37,000
So we order the car.
3600
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,625
They may deposit in
3601
01:01:38,625 --> 01:01:39,416
like cash,
3602
01:01:39,416 --> 01:01:40,041
like in,
3603
01:01:40,041 --> 01:01:41,541
in dollar bills.
3604
01:01:41,541 --> 01:01:42,541
And then,
3605
01:01:42,541 --> 01:01:43,166
a few weeks later,
3606
01:01:43,166 --> 01:01:43,958
the car shows up.
3607
01:01:43,958 --> 01:01:44,625
We go to pick it up,
3608
01:01:44,625 --> 01:01:45,750
I got my backpack,
3609
01:01:45,750 --> 01:01:46,416
and I'm like,
3610
01:01:46,416 --> 01:01:47,041
all right.
3611
01:01:47,041 --> 01:01:47,458
They're like, what?
3612
01:01:47,458 --> 01:01:48,083
Let's pay.
3613
01:01:48,083 --> 01:01:49,333
I got my backpack
3614
01:01:49,333 --> 01:01:49,791
and like, whoa,
3615
01:01:49,791 --> 01:01:50,291
whoa, whoa,
3616
01:01:50,291 --> 01:01:51,083
what are you doing
3617
01:01:51,083 --> 01:01:51,250
now?
3618
01:01:51,250 --> 01:01:52,291
I was like,
3619
01:01:52,291 --> 01:01:53,666
pay in cash.
3620
01:01:53,666 --> 01:01:54,166
And they're like,
3621
01:01:54,166 --> 01:01:55,416
whoa.
3622
01:01:55,416 --> 01:01:55,833
Well,
3623
01:01:55,833 --> 01:01:56,250
we thought you
3624
01:01:56,250 --> 01:01:57,333
meant a check.
3625
01:01:57,333 --> 01:01:58,916
That was like, what?
3626
01:01:58,916 --> 01:01:59,875
I said check.
3627
01:01:59,875 --> 01:02:01,083
If I meant check,
3628
01:02:01,083 --> 01:02:01,916
I said cash,
3629
01:02:02,958 --> 01:02:03,833
and I paid you in
3630
01:02:03,833 --> 01:02:05,083
cash for the deposit.
3631
01:02:05,083 --> 01:02:05,416
They're like,
3632
01:02:05,416 --> 01:02:06,416
okay, well,
3633
01:02:06,416 --> 01:02:07,416
we have to take this
3634
01:02:07,416 --> 01:02:07,916
cash,
3635
01:02:07,916 --> 01:02:09,000
give it to the police.
3636
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:09,750
The police will
3637
01:02:09,750 --> 01:02:10,500
investigate it
3638
01:02:10,500 --> 01:02:12,083
for ten business days
3639
01:02:12,083 --> 01:02:13,291
and then once it's
3640
01:02:13,291 --> 01:02:14,791
clean, we'll give it,
3641
01:02:14,791 --> 01:02:15,083
you know,
3642
01:02:15,083 --> 01:02:15,625
then you can come
3643
01:02:15,625 --> 01:02:16,916
pick up the car.
3644
01:02:16,916 --> 01:02:17,416
And I was like,
3645
01:02:17,416 --> 01:02:17,833
no, no, no no
3646
01:02:17,833 --> 01:02:18,791
no, no, no,
3647
01:02:18,791 --> 01:02:20,333
there's no way.
3648
01:02:20,333 --> 01:02:21,541
And by the way,
3649
01:02:21,541 --> 01:02:22,291
previously to that
3650
01:02:22,291 --> 01:02:23,583
the police had seized
3651
01:02:23,583 --> 01:02:24,875
about $10,000
3652
01:02:24,875 --> 01:02:25,708
from one of
3653
01:02:25,708 --> 01:02:26,875
our Bitcoin ATMs.
3654
01:02:26,875 --> 01:02:27,333
But I spent
3655
01:02:27,333 --> 01:02:27,833
two and a half
3656
01:02:27,833 --> 01:02:28,583
years in court
3657
01:02:28,583 --> 01:02:29,166
fighting them
3658
01:02:29,166 --> 01:02:30,208
to get back.
3659
01:02:30,208 --> 01:02:31,583
And so this is
3660
01:02:31,583 --> 01:02:31,875
this is
3661
01:02:31,875 --> 01:02:32,541
I think
3662
01:02:32,541 --> 01:02:33,125
this is only 5
3663
01:02:33,125 --> 01:02:34,083
or 6 months
3664
01:02:34,083 --> 01:02:35,083
after
3665
01:02:35,083 --> 01:02:35,666
the police
3666
01:02:35,666 --> 01:02:36,250
had seized that.
3667
01:02:36,250 --> 01:02:36,916
So I'm
3668
01:02:36,916 --> 01:02:37,625
I'm hyper
3669
01:02:37,625 --> 01:02:38,916
hyper skeptical
3670
01:02:38,916 --> 01:02:40,666
of, of this.
3671
01:02:40,666 --> 01:02:42,000
And so obviously
3672
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:42,750
I said no.
3673
01:02:42,750 --> 01:02:43,500
And then, you know,
3674
01:02:43,500 --> 01:02:43,916
we just had
3675
01:02:43,916 --> 01:02:44,333
to work out
3676
01:02:44,333 --> 01:02:45,333
other other,
3677
01:02:45,333 --> 01:02:46,000
other systems.
3678
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,250
But it is
3679
01:02:47,250 --> 01:02:48,708
it is shocking
3680
01:02:48,708 --> 01:02:50,166
how the system works
3681
01:02:50,166 --> 01:02:51,875
in this way.
3682
01:02:51,875 --> 01:02:52,208
No.
3683
01:02:52,208 --> 01:02:53,291
And I know
3684
01:02:53,291 --> 01:02:54,125
like I needed
3685
01:02:54,125 --> 01:02:56,000
to, to withdraw,
3686
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:57,250
a large amount of cash
3687
01:02:57,250 --> 01:02:58,208
from a bank account
3688
01:02:58,208 --> 01:03:00,291
here in, in, you know,
3689
01:03:01,625 --> 01:03:02,708
connected to,
3690
01:03:02,708 --> 01:03:03,750
to my house.
3691
01:03:03,750 --> 01:03:04,708
The let,
3692
01:03:04,708 --> 01:03:05,625
let's just say that
3693
01:03:05,625 --> 01:03:06,125
and not go
3694
01:03:06,125 --> 01:03:06,875
into details,
3695
01:03:06,875 --> 01:03:07,708
but I needed
3696
01:03:07,708 --> 01:03:08,958
some of my money.
3697
01:03:08,958 --> 01:03:10,166
That's the point.
3698
01:03:10,166 --> 01:03:11,500
Now the bank asks me
3699
01:03:11,500 --> 01:03:12,000
what I need
3700
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,291
the money for,
3701
01:03:13,291 --> 01:03:13,916
and I'm like,
3702
01:03:13,916 --> 01:03:14,541
what the fuck
3703
01:03:14,541 --> 01:03:15,000
do you need
3704
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:15,541
the money for?
3705
01:03:15,541 --> 01:03:16,541
It's my money.
3706
01:03:16,541 --> 01:03:17,625
Yeah,
3707
01:03:17,625 --> 01:03:18,750
I'm the paying you
3708
01:03:18,750 --> 01:03:19,416
to store it
3709
01:03:19,416 --> 01:03:20,458
for me, right?
3710
01:03:20,458 --> 01:03:21,416
Like, and here's.
3711
01:03:21,416 --> 01:03:21,666
Here's
3712
01:03:21,666 --> 01:03:23,041
the scary thing is
3713
01:03:23,041 --> 01:03:23,916
that I've
3714
01:03:23,916 --> 01:03:24,833
had this discussion
3715
01:03:24,833 --> 01:03:26,750
with left leaning
3716
01:03:26,750 --> 01:03:27,625
communists
3717
01:03:27,625 --> 01:03:28,708
to be polite.
3718
01:03:28,708 --> 01:03:30,000
And they,
3719
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,333
they often say, well,
3720
01:03:31,333 --> 01:03:31,625
it's for
3721
01:03:31,625 --> 01:03:33,125
your protection.
3722
01:03:33,125 --> 01:03:33,916
It's for the greater
3723
01:03:33,916 --> 01:03:34,416
good, blah,
3724
01:03:34,416 --> 01:03:35,250
blah, blah.
3725
01:03:35,250 --> 01:03:35,916
And I think that
3726
01:03:35,916 --> 01:03:36,958
this is
3727
01:03:36,958 --> 01:03:37,791
probably the
3728
01:03:37,791 --> 01:03:39,458
most heinous and
3729
01:03:39,458 --> 01:03:41,250
and difficult,
3730
01:03:41,250 --> 01:03:42,208
to understand lie
3731
01:03:42,208 --> 01:03:42,958
that we've been told.
3732
01:03:42,958 --> 01:03:43,500
Because if you
3733
01:03:43,500 --> 01:03:44,291
tell everyone
3734
01:03:44,291 --> 01:03:44,666
that they are
3735
01:03:44,666 --> 01:03:45,916
in danger,
3736
01:03:45,916 --> 01:03:47,666
then you get to become
3737
01:03:47,666 --> 01:03:48,208
you have this
3738
01:03:48,208 --> 01:03:48,791
this ability
3739
01:03:48,791 --> 01:03:50,041
to be the Savior.
3740
01:03:50,041 --> 01:03:50,916
And we have
3741
01:03:50,916 --> 01:03:51,708
been tricked
3742
01:03:51,708 --> 01:03:52,375
into thinking
3743
01:03:52,375 --> 01:03:53,666
we are in danger
3744
01:03:53,666 --> 01:03:54,833
for so long
3745
01:03:54,833 --> 01:03:55,500
that people
3746
01:03:55,500 --> 01:03:56,791
are now applauding
3747
01:03:56,791 --> 01:03:58,125
when your money
3748
01:03:58,125 --> 01:03:58,916
gets held back.
3749
01:03:58,916 --> 01:03:59,541
It is.
3750
01:03:59,541 --> 01:04:00,208
It's this
3751
01:04:00,208 --> 01:04:01,750
most battered
3752
01:04:01,750 --> 01:04:02,916
wife syndrome
3753
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:04,666
situation.
3754
01:04:04,666 --> 01:04:06,000
But this is the
3755
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:06,791
oldest scam
3756
01:04:06,791 --> 01:04:07,875
in the universe,
3757
01:04:07,875 --> 01:04:08,375
that are in
3758
01:04:08,375 --> 01:04:09,416
human civilization
3759
01:04:09,416 --> 01:04:10,083
anyway.
3760
01:04:10,083 --> 01:04:11,166
Like,
3761
01:04:11,166 --> 01:04:11,458
that you
3762
01:04:11,458 --> 01:04:12,125
need protection
3763
01:04:12,125 --> 01:04:12,625
from something.
3764
01:04:12,625 --> 01:04:13,083
This is what
3765
01:04:13,083 --> 01:04:13,916
the mafia uses
3766
01:04:13,916 --> 01:04:14,541
all the time
3767
01:04:14,541 --> 01:04:15,708
to sell you insurance
3768
01:04:15,708 --> 01:04:16,375
against what
3769
01:04:16,375 --> 01:04:17,250
they will do to you
3770
01:04:17,250 --> 01:04:17,875
if you don't pay
3771
01:04:17,875 --> 01:04:18,666
for the insurance.
3772
01:04:18,666 --> 01:04:19,208
It's like,
3773
01:04:19,208 --> 01:04:19,750
why would
3774
01:04:19,750 --> 01:04:20,583
I need a savior?
3775
01:04:20,583 --> 01:04:21,416
You need a savior
3776
01:04:21,416 --> 01:04:21,791
from what
3777
01:04:21,791 --> 01:04:22,750
we will do to you
3778
01:04:22,750 --> 01:04:23,291
if you don't
3779
01:04:23,291 --> 01:04:24,250
buy our Savior,
3780
01:04:24,250 --> 01:04:24,916
what do I need
3781
01:04:24,916 --> 01:04:25,666
protection from?
3782
01:04:25,666 --> 01:04:26,458
You need protection
3783
01:04:26,458 --> 01:04:26,875
from what
3784
01:04:26,875 --> 01:04:27,541
the whatever
3785
01:04:27,541 --> 01:04:28,166
we feel
3786
01:04:28,166 --> 01:04:28,791
that we need
3787
01:04:28,791 --> 01:04:29,791
to do to you
3788
01:04:29,791 --> 01:04:30,666
if you don't do what
3789
01:04:30,666 --> 01:04:31,833
we tell you to do.
3790
01:04:31,833 --> 01:04:33,416
So, it's
3791
01:04:33,416 --> 01:04:34,083
the greatest lie
3792
01:04:34,083 --> 01:04:34,708
ever told.
3793
01:04:34,708 --> 01:04:36,125
And. Yes, yeah.
3794
01:04:36,125 --> 01:04:36,958
And all of
3795
01:04:36,958 --> 01:04:38,916
these problems with
3796
01:04:38,916 --> 01:04:39,458
when you think
3797
01:04:39,458 --> 01:04:40,583
about them and,
3798
01:04:40,583 --> 01:04:41,375
and everyone
3799
01:04:41,375 --> 01:04:42,208
who doesn't understand
3800
01:04:42,208 --> 01:04:43,750
Bitcoin says,
3801
01:04:43,750 --> 01:04:44,416
like, no,
3802
01:04:44,416 --> 01:04:45,458
it's unusable
3803
01:04:45,458 --> 01:04:46,166
because I can't
3804
01:04:46,166 --> 01:04:46,958
use my fiat
3805
01:04:46,958 --> 01:04:47,833
to do this and that.
3806
01:04:47,833 --> 01:04:48,750
But once
3807
01:04:48,750 --> 01:04:50,333
you're in Bitcoin
3808
01:04:50,333 --> 01:04:51,416
all the friction is
3809
01:04:51,416 --> 01:04:51,958
is gone.
3810
01:04:51,958 --> 01:04:53,458
Like it works
3811
01:04:53,458 --> 01:04:55,458
flawlessly 24/7.
3812
01:04:55,458 --> 01:04:56,458
Like TikTok
3813
01:04:56,458 --> 01:04:57,375
next block.
3814
01:04:57,375 --> 01:04:59,208
Nothing is,
3815
01:04:59,208 --> 01:05:00,125
like everything's
3816
01:05:00,125 --> 01:05:00,791
predictable,
3817
01:05:00,791 --> 01:05:01,958
everything's smooth,
3818
01:05:01,958 --> 01:05:02,916
everything's like,
3819
01:05:02,916 --> 01:05:03,958
exactly as
3820
01:05:03,958 --> 01:05:05,666
it should be. And,
3821
01:05:07,208 --> 01:05:07,583
you get
3822
01:05:07,583 --> 01:05:08,375
an occasional
3823
01:05:08,375 --> 01:05:09,041
fee spike
3824
01:05:09,041 --> 01:05:10,166
every once in a while
3825
01:05:10,166 --> 01:05:10,875
when a scammer
3826
01:05:10,875 --> 01:05:11,916
comes along and tries
3827
01:05:11,916 --> 01:05:12,250
to pull
3828
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:13,166
a Fiat scam
3829
01:05:13,166 --> 01:05:14,083
on someone else.
3830
01:05:14,083 --> 01:05:14,583
But that's
3831
01:05:14,583 --> 01:05:15,250
basically it.
3832
01:05:15,250 --> 01:05:16,333
That's also a problem
3833
01:05:16,333 --> 01:05:17,083
with fiat
3834
01:05:17,083 --> 01:05:18,208
affecting Bitcoin.
3835
01:05:18,208 --> 01:05:18,875
So yes,
3836
01:05:18,875 --> 01:05:20,083
like it's it's
3837
01:05:20,083 --> 01:05:22,833
all fiat fault
3838
01:05:22,833 --> 01:05:23,625
for.
3839
01:05:23,625 --> 01:05:24,125
If we weren't.
3840
01:05:24,125 --> 01:05:25,208
So we do a lot of work
3841
01:05:25,208 --> 01:05:26,458
to prevent fraud.
3842
01:05:26,458 --> 01:05:28,708
And the number one
3843
01:05:28,708 --> 01:05:29,500
start I'm
3844
01:05:29,500 --> 01:05:32,041
a fraud case is
3845
01:05:32,041 --> 01:05:32,875
I'm trying
3846
01:05:32,875 --> 01:05:34,291
to preserve by wealth.
3847
01:05:34,291 --> 01:05:35,541
This is the
3848
01:05:35,541 --> 01:05:37,208
this is the natural
3849
01:05:37,208 --> 01:05:38,500
state of our world
3850
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:39,583
where they
3851
01:05:39,583 --> 01:05:40,125
they have a
3852
01:05:40,125 --> 01:05:40,625
small amount
3853
01:05:40,625 --> 01:05:41,666
of savings.
3854
01:05:41,666 --> 01:05:41,916
There's
3855
01:05:41,916 --> 01:05:42,875
no longer cutting.
3856
01:05:42,875 --> 01:05:43,833
It will no longer
3857
01:05:43,833 --> 01:05:45,208
cut it in the future.
3858
01:05:45,208 --> 01:05:45,833
And someone
3859
01:05:45,833 --> 01:05:46,458
tricks them
3860
01:05:46,458 --> 01:05:47,041
into thinking
3861
01:05:47,041 --> 01:05:47,416
they can
3862
01:05:47,416 --> 01:05:48,791
guarantee 20%,
3863
01:05:48,791 --> 01:05:50,708
30% outpace inflation,
3864
01:05:50,708 --> 01:05:51,125
whatever it's
3865
01:05:51,125 --> 01:05:53,000
going to be with money
3866
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:53,833
that does that.
3867
01:05:53,833 --> 01:05:55,250
By default,
3868
01:05:55,250 --> 01:05:55,750
all of those
3869
01:05:55,750 --> 01:05:56,833
scams disappear.
3870
01:05:56,833 --> 01:05:57,833
They become
3871
01:05:57,833 --> 01:05:58,916
non-existent.
3872
01:05:58,916 --> 01:05:59,625
We no longer
3873
01:05:59,625 --> 01:06:01,083
need to gamble
3874
01:06:01,083 --> 01:06:02,791
our savings,
3875
01:06:02,791 --> 01:06:03,625
our value,
3876
01:06:03,625 --> 01:06:04,916
our futures,
3877
01:06:04,916 --> 01:06:05,291
in order
3878
01:06:05,291 --> 01:06:07,166
to just simply survive
3879
01:06:07,166 --> 01:06:07,416
because
3880
01:06:07,416 --> 01:06:08,375
we've got money
3881
01:06:08,375 --> 01:06:09,750
that actually does
3882
01:06:09,750 --> 01:06:10,583
the work
3883
01:06:10,583 --> 01:06:11,541
in preserving
3884
01:06:11,541 --> 01:06:12,916
the value, which is,
3885
01:06:12,916 --> 01:06:14,375
I think,
3886
01:06:14,375 --> 01:06:14,625
again,
3887
01:06:14,625 --> 01:06:15,916
another societal shift
3888
01:06:15,916 --> 01:06:16,916
that will occur.
3889
01:06:16,916 --> 01:06:18,291
And inherently,
3890
01:06:18,291 --> 01:06:19,625
you know, incentives
3891
01:06:19,625 --> 01:06:20,708
then realign.
3892
01:06:20,708 --> 01:06:21,958
And we've got a better
3893
01:06:21,958 --> 01:06:24,416
opportunity to,
3894
01:06:24,416 --> 01:06:25,041
yeah, to,
3895
01:06:25,041 --> 01:06:26,583
I think, to thrive
3896
01:06:26,583 --> 01:06:27,958
as humanity.
3897
01:06:27,958 --> 01:06:28,291
Yeah.
3898
01:06:28,291 --> 01:06:28,916
The winning
3899
01:06:28,916 --> 01:06:30,000
move in fiat land
3900
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,250
is to not play at all,
3901
01:06:32,416 --> 01:06:33,125
but something.
3902
01:06:33,125 --> 01:06:33,833
And we had it
3903
01:06:33,833 --> 01:06:34,833
in us all along.
3904
01:06:34,833 --> 01:06:35,916
It's like
3905
01:06:35,916 --> 01:06:36,625
we just needed
3906
01:06:36,625 --> 01:06:37,208
Bitcoin to
3907
01:06:37,208 --> 01:06:38,250
to tell us
3908
01:06:38,250 --> 01:06:38,916
that we had it
3909
01:06:38,916 --> 01:06:39,833
in us all along.
3910
01:06:39,833 --> 01:06:40,375
Yes.
3911
01:06:40,375 --> 01:06:43,375
And and you know,
3912
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:44,875
investing is like
3913
01:06:44,875 --> 01:06:46,541
such an interesting
3914
01:06:46,541 --> 01:06:49,083
thought process of
3915
01:06:49,083 --> 01:06:50,125
I worked very hard
3916
01:06:50,125 --> 01:06:50,625
and received
3917
01:06:50,625 --> 01:06:51,666
this money.
3918
01:06:51,666 --> 01:06:52,583
This money sucks
3919
01:06:52,583 --> 01:06:53,333
so bad
3920
01:06:53,333 --> 01:06:53,750
that I'm going
3921
01:06:53,750 --> 01:06:54,833
to go now.
3922
01:06:54,833 --> 01:06:55,500
Give the money
3923
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:57,083
to somebody else
3924
01:06:57,083 --> 01:06:58,000
so that I can have
3925
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:59,083
a chance
3926
01:06:59,083 --> 01:06:59,458
to have
3927
01:06:59,458 --> 01:07:00,750
a better future,
3928
01:07:00,750 --> 01:07:01,375
or not
3929
01:07:01,375 --> 01:07:02,000
even a better future,
3930
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:02,916
just to maintain
3931
01:07:02,916 --> 01:07:03,208
like I have
3932
01:07:03,208 --> 01:07:04,500
the same future
3933
01:07:04,500 --> 01:07:05,791
that I have right now.
3934
01:07:05,791 --> 01:07:06,333
And it's such
3935
01:07:06,333 --> 01:07:08,166
an interesting concept
3936
01:07:08,166 --> 01:07:09,541
that really
3937
01:07:09,541 --> 01:07:10,833
only needs to exist
3938
01:07:10,833 --> 01:07:11,250
when you've got
3939
01:07:11,250 --> 01:07:13,666
manipulated fiat.
3940
01:07:13,666 --> 01:07:14,166
Yeah.
3941
01:07:14,166 --> 01:07:16,541
And in investments,
3942
01:07:16,541 --> 01:07:17,208
when you have a
3943
01:07:17,208 --> 01:07:18,500
Bitcoin stack,
3944
01:07:18,500 --> 01:07:19,583
it needs to be
3945
01:07:19,583 --> 01:07:20,458
thought through like,
3946
01:07:20,458 --> 01:07:21,333
is this going to
3947
01:07:21,333 --> 01:07:22,291
make me more money
3948
01:07:22,291 --> 01:07:23,083
than just sitting
3949
01:07:23,083 --> 01:07:23,666
on this pile
3950
01:07:23,666 --> 01:07:24,083
of Bitcoin
3951
01:07:24,083 --> 01:07:25,166
and doing fuck all?
3952
01:07:25,166 --> 01:07:26,125
So I actually
3953
01:07:26,125 --> 01:07:26,375
actually
3954
01:07:26,375 --> 01:07:26,916
might disagree
3955
01:07:26,916 --> 01:07:27,666
with that.
3956
01:07:27,666 --> 01:07:28,375
I think that
3957
01:07:28,375 --> 01:07:30,666
investing it on
3958
01:07:30,666 --> 01:07:31,750
a Bitcoin standard
3959
01:07:31,750 --> 01:07:32,666
will transition
3960
01:07:32,666 --> 01:07:35,458
from a way to get rich
3961
01:07:35,458 --> 01:07:36,000
in or,
3962
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,291
and it will change
3963
01:07:37,291 --> 01:07:37,958
into a way
3964
01:07:37,958 --> 01:07:39,833
to improve your life
3965
01:07:39,833 --> 01:07:41,250
or the lives of people
3966
01:07:41,250 --> 01:07:41,916
that care about.
3967
01:07:41,916 --> 01:07:42,208
We're going
3968
01:07:42,208 --> 01:07:43,208
to become mission
3969
01:07:43,208 --> 01:07:45,125
focused investors
3970
01:07:45,125 --> 01:07:46,333
in, in the future
3971
01:07:46,333 --> 01:07:46,916
and will actually,
3972
01:07:46,916 --> 01:07:47,791
I think, look a lot
3973
01:07:47,791 --> 01:07:48,375
more life,
3974
01:07:48,375 --> 01:07:51,208
philanthropic activity
3975
01:07:51,208 --> 01:07:52,083
than it will,
3976
01:07:53,250 --> 01:07:54,208
look like
3977
01:07:54,208 --> 01:07:55,708
getting an ROI
3978
01:07:55,708 --> 01:07:57,583
in monetary sense.
3979
01:07:57,583 --> 01:07:57,916
Yeah.
3980
01:07:57,916 --> 01:07:58,916
Here's an example of
3981
01:07:58,916 --> 01:07:59,583
of what I got.
3982
01:07:59,583 --> 01:08:00,833
Had to wait.
3983
01:08:00,833 --> 01:08:01,458
No, no, no,
3984
01:08:01,458 --> 01:08:02,166
you go ahead.
3985
01:08:02,166 --> 01:08:02,958
So example
3986
01:08:02,958 --> 01:08:03,916
that my kids
3987
01:08:03,916 --> 01:08:04,833
and I went to
3988
01:08:04,833 --> 01:08:06,416
a, a camp,
3989
01:08:06,416 --> 01:08:07,416
a family Bible
3990
01:08:07,416 --> 01:08:08,666
camp over the summer,
3991
01:08:08,666 --> 01:08:09,666
and it was dynamite.
3992
01:08:09,666 --> 01:08:10,333
Ten out of ten.
3993
01:08:10,333 --> 01:08:10,958
They're talking about
3994
01:08:10,958 --> 01:08:11,958
generational faith.
3995
01:08:11,958 --> 01:08:12,916
They're talking about
3996
01:08:12,916 --> 01:08:13,833
growing adults
3997
01:08:13,833 --> 01:08:15,000
are growing children
3998
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,583
into adults.
3999
01:08:16,583 --> 01:08:16,916
That like,
4000
01:08:16,916 --> 01:08:17,458
love the Lord,
4001
01:08:17,458 --> 01:08:18,708
but also like,
4002
01:08:18,708 --> 01:08:19,083
you know,
4003
01:08:19,083 --> 01:08:21,125
want to move society
4004
01:08:21,125 --> 01:08:21,833
in a positive
4005
01:08:21,833 --> 01:08:22,833
direction
4006
01:08:22,833 --> 01:08:23,916
and, very,
4007
01:08:23,916 --> 01:08:26,458
very positive, move.
4008
01:08:26,458 --> 01:08:27,083
And I start
4009
01:08:27,083 --> 01:08:27,916
looking around,
4010
01:08:27,916 --> 01:08:28,291
you know,
4011
01:08:28,291 --> 01:08:29,166
my, like, serial
4012
01:08:29,166 --> 01:08:30,083
entrepreneur brand.
4013
01:08:30,083 --> 01:08:30,791
And I'm like, wow,
4014
01:08:30,791 --> 01:08:31,541
this sucks.
4015
01:08:31,541 --> 01:08:31,791
You know,
4016
01:08:31,791 --> 01:08:32,625
this could be better,
4017
01:08:32,625 --> 01:08:33,750
this could do more
4018
01:08:33,750 --> 01:08:34,000
blah, blah,
4019
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:34,833
blah, blah.
4020
01:08:34,833 --> 01:08:36,083
And,
4021
01:08:36,083 --> 01:08:36,791
you know, I didn't
4022
01:08:36,791 --> 01:08:37,625
I didn't act on any of
4023
01:08:37,625 --> 01:08:38,250
this information,
4024
01:08:38,250 --> 01:08:39,458
but I started thinking
4025
01:08:39,458 --> 01:08:40,083
like, oh,
4026
01:08:40,083 --> 01:08:40,416
what would it
4027
01:08:40,416 --> 01:08:40,916
look like
4028
01:08:40,916 --> 01:08:41,666
for, you know,
4029
01:08:41,666 --> 01:08:42,166
if I were to
4030
01:08:42,166 --> 01:08:43,500
start a camp like this
4031
01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:45,291
or invest in a camp
4032
01:08:45,291 --> 01:08:45,791
like this?
4033
01:08:45,791 --> 01:08:46,041
Well,
4034
01:08:46,041 --> 01:08:46,541
their structure is
4035
01:08:46,541 --> 01:08:47,291
not for profit.
4036
01:08:47,291 --> 01:08:48,000
So then
4037
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:48,666
I started thinking,
4038
01:08:48,666 --> 01:08:50,333
what would the benefit
4039
01:08:50,333 --> 01:08:50,791
like?
4040
01:08:50,791 --> 01:08:51,166
What would the
4041
01:08:51,166 --> 01:08:52,500
benefit be?
4042
01:08:52,500 --> 01:08:53,833
What if I committed,
4043
01:08:53,833 --> 01:08:54,291
you know,
4044
01:08:54,291 --> 01:08:55,666
X number of dollars
4045
01:08:55,666 --> 01:08:57,000
or X number of SATs
4046
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:57,791
to a project
4047
01:08:57,791 --> 01:08:58,291
like this.
4048
01:08:58,291 --> 01:08:58,500
What would
4049
01:08:58,500 --> 01:08:59,541
that look like
4050
01:08:59,541 --> 01:09:00,625
over the next
4051
01:09:00,625 --> 01:09:01,958
period of time
4052
01:09:01,958 --> 01:09:02,375
and time
4053
01:09:02,375 --> 01:09:03,416
and time again,
4054
01:09:03,416 --> 01:09:04,000
it looked like
4055
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:04,916
a horrible
4056
01:09:04,916 --> 01:09:06,750
monetary investment.
4057
01:09:06,750 --> 01:09:07,416
You cannot get
4058
01:09:07,416 --> 01:09:08,000
around that
4059
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:09,000
in any way, shape
4060
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:09,875
or form.
4061
01:09:09,875 --> 01:09:11,041
However,
4062
01:09:11,041 --> 01:09:11,541
I am still
4063
01:09:11,541 --> 01:09:13,208
incredibly drawn
4064
01:09:13,208 --> 01:09:15,541
to push our world
4065
01:09:15,541 --> 01:09:16,541
in such a way
4066
01:09:16,541 --> 01:09:18,833
that does empower,
4067
01:09:18,833 --> 01:09:19,125
you know,
4068
01:09:19,125 --> 01:09:20,166
the next generation
4069
01:09:20,166 --> 01:09:22,083
to be like, bold
4070
01:09:22,083 --> 01:09:23,041
and love the Lord.
4071
01:09:23,041 --> 01:09:26,041
And so I, I really,
4072
01:09:26,583 --> 01:09:27,541
do it.
4073
01:09:27,541 --> 01:09:28,333
This got me on this
4074
01:09:28,333 --> 01:09:29,250
track of like, well,
4075
01:09:29,250 --> 01:09:30,125
what does investing
4076
01:09:30,125 --> 01:09:30,583
look like
4077
01:09:30,583 --> 01:09:31,250
in the future
4078
01:09:31,250 --> 01:09:32,250
of a Bitcoin standard?
4079
01:09:32,250 --> 01:09:32,583
Why would
4080
01:09:32,583 --> 01:09:33,750
anyone invest?
4081
01:09:33,750 --> 01:09:34,833
And it has to be about
4082
01:09:34,833 --> 01:09:35,791
more than money
4083
01:09:35,791 --> 01:09:37,791
when you are so secure
4084
01:09:37,791 --> 01:09:39,125
in your future
4085
01:09:39,125 --> 01:09:39,416
and you're
4086
01:09:39,416 --> 01:09:40,916
so confident
4087
01:09:40,916 --> 01:09:41,791
that your savings
4088
01:09:41,791 --> 01:09:42,541
will yield
4089
01:09:42,541 --> 01:09:43,458
generations
4090
01:09:43,458 --> 01:09:45,666
of progress,
4091
01:09:45,666 --> 01:09:46,208
then you have
4092
01:09:46,208 --> 01:09:47,000
the ability
4093
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:47,791
to kind of fast
4094
01:09:47,791 --> 01:09:49,375
track society
4095
01:09:49,375 --> 01:09:50,875
in a, in a direction
4096
01:09:50,875 --> 01:09:51,833
based on,
4097
01:09:51,833 --> 01:09:52,750
you know, a spend
4098
01:09:52,750 --> 01:09:53,666
or an effort.
4099
01:09:55,041 --> 01:09:55,833
Here's an
4100
01:09:55,833 --> 01:09:56,250
Austrian
4101
01:09:56,250 --> 01:09:57,250
perspective on that.
4102
01:09:57,250 --> 01:09:58,833
And that is that,
4103
01:09:58,833 --> 01:09:59,500
that was always
4104
01:09:59,500 --> 01:09:59,958
the case.
4105
01:09:59,958 --> 01:10:01,000
Like investment,
4106
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,125
like money is just a
4107
01:10:03,125 --> 01:10:04,291
part of the equation.
4108
01:10:04,291 --> 01:10:06,208
But people do stuff.
4109
01:10:06,208 --> 01:10:07,125
People want money
4110
01:10:07,125 --> 01:10:08,166
because of the stuff.
4111
01:10:08,166 --> 01:10:09,083
That money will
4112
01:10:09,083 --> 01:10:10,166
buy them. Right?
4113
01:10:10,166 --> 01:10:11,791
And not not money
4114
01:10:11,791 --> 01:10:12,541
because of
4115
01:10:12,541 --> 01:10:13,333
the money itself.
4116
01:10:13,333 --> 01:10:14,041
So like,
4117
01:10:14,041 --> 01:10:15,500
there are more
4118
01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:16,625
things at play
4119
01:10:16,625 --> 01:10:18,458
in what we value
4120
01:10:18,458 --> 01:10:19,416
than simple
4121
01:10:19,416 --> 01:10:20,583
financial gains.
4122
01:10:20,583 --> 01:10:22,500
Like, I like we,
4123
01:10:22,500 --> 01:10:23,208
we do things
4124
01:10:23,208 --> 01:10:24,083
for our families
4125
01:10:24,083 --> 01:10:25,291
rather than like
4126
01:10:25,291 --> 01:10:25,833
I draw them
4127
01:10:25,833 --> 01:10:26,625
by Christmas
4128
01:10:26,625 --> 01:10:27,666
present for my son
4129
01:10:27,666 --> 01:10:28,458
than for some other
4130
01:10:28,458 --> 01:10:29,000
fucking kid
4131
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:29,500
on the street
4132
01:10:29,500 --> 01:10:29,916
like that.
4133
01:10:29,916 --> 01:10:31,833
Like it's pretty
4134
01:10:31,833 --> 01:10:33,291
simple like that. So.
4135
01:10:33,291 --> 01:10:35,166
So, but the thing
4136
01:10:35,166 --> 01:10:36,000
I see, like,
4137
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,291
if you just
4138
01:10:37,291 --> 01:10:38,333
fast track to
4139
01:10:38,333 --> 01:10:39,500
when there is no more
4140
01:10:39,500 --> 01:10:40,583
satoshis to be mined,
4141
01:10:40,583 --> 01:10:41,375
they're all
4142
01:10:41,375 --> 01:10:42,291
in circulation.
4143
01:10:44,125 --> 01:10:44,958
By the way, money is
4144
01:10:44,958 --> 01:10:45,958
never in circulation,
4145
01:10:45,958 --> 01:10:46,916
but it always belongs
4146
01:10:46,916 --> 01:10:47,416
to someone
4147
01:10:47,416 --> 01:10:48,000
at some point.
4148
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:48,708
But you
4149
01:10:48,708 --> 01:10:50,958
get the expression,
4150
01:10:50,958 --> 01:10:53,250
so, at that point,
4151
01:10:53,250 --> 01:10:54,000
the only way
4152
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,791
to survive,
4153
01:10:55,791 --> 01:10:57,125
is either doing
4154
01:10:57,125 --> 01:10:58,166
goods or services
4155
01:10:58,166 --> 01:10:58,708
or using
4156
01:10:58,708 --> 01:10:59,458
something else
4157
01:10:59,458 --> 01:11:00,125
than Bitcoin,
4158
01:11:00,125 --> 01:11:01,291
or to diminish
4159
01:11:01,291 --> 01:11:02,208
your stack slowly,
4160
01:11:02,208 --> 01:11:02,916
slowly, slowly
4161
01:11:02,916 --> 01:11:03,541
over time,
4162
01:11:03,541 --> 01:11:04,291
which still
4163
01:11:04,291 --> 01:11:05,041
can increase
4164
01:11:05,041 --> 01:11:05,666
in purchasing
4165
01:11:05,666 --> 01:11:06,458
power over time.
4166
01:11:06,458 --> 01:11:07,750
This is the magic
4167
01:11:07,750 --> 01:11:09,750
of deflation.
4168
01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:10,958
But what an investment
4169
01:11:10,958 --> 01:11:11,458
can do
4170
01:11:11,458 --> 01:11:12,916
is that it can
4171
01:11:12,916 --> 01:11:14,125
change the derivative,
4172
01:11:14,125 --> 01:11:15,416
it like the vector,
4173
01:11:15,416 --> 01:11:16,500
the the angle
4174
01:11:16,500 --> 01:11:17,375
of the decline
4175
01:11:17,375 --> 01:11:18,500
to be a little less
4176
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:20,375
steep. Yeah.
4177
01:11:20,375 --> 01:11:22,291
So that's so, so that,
4178
01:11:22,291 --> 01:11:24,166
that you, you might,
4179
01:11:24,166 --> 01:11:25,083
start a company
4180
01:11:25,083 --> 01:11:25,583
not to have
4181
01:11:25,583 --> 01:11:26,458
black numbers,
4182
01:11:26,458 --> 01:11:27,625
but to have,
4183
01:11:27,625 --> 01:11:30,625
like, the,
4184
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:31,708
the angle of
4185
01:11:31,708 --> 01:11:32,375
the decline
4186
01:11:32,375 --> 01:11:33,000
of your stock
4187
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:33,875
be a little less
4188
01:11:33,875 --> 01:11:34,833
steep.
4189
01:11:34,833 --> 01:11:36,250
So, which, which.
4190
01:11:36,250 --> 01:11:36,916
But also.
4191
01:11:36,916 --> 01:11:37,833
What this does
4192
01:11:37,833 --> 01:11:39,083
is that it removes
4193
01:11:39,083 --> 01:11:39,500
all the
4194
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:40,500
zombie companies
4195
01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:41,416
of the world, like,
4196
01:11:41,416 --> 01:11:42,833
because right now
4197
01:11:42,833 --> 01:11:44,333
companies are started
4198
01:11:44,333 --> 01:11:45,250
for bullshit
4199
01:11:45,250 --> 01:11:46,541
everywhere, and,
4200
01:11:46,541 --> 01:11:47,458
they don't make money.
4201
01:11:47,458 --> 01:11:48,083
And when, when,
4202
01:11:48,083 --> 01:11:49,666
when they go bankrupt,
4203
01:11:49,666 --> 01:11:50,083
there is
4204
01:11:50,083 --> 01:11:52,458
no punishment. No.
4205
01:11:55,333 --> 01:11:56,750
The,
4206
01:11:56,750 --> 01:11:57,458
what's the word I'm
4207
01:11:57,458 --> 01:11:57,916
looking for
4208
01:11:57,916 --> 01:11:58,875
the punishment
4209
01:11:58,875 --> 01:11:59,583
for for
4210
01:11:59,583 --> 01:12:00,333
the people doing
4211
01:12:00,333 --> 01:12:00,666
the bad
4212
01:12:00,666 --> 01:12:02,166
investment is not.
4213
01:12:02,166 --> 01:12:03,375
It doesn't suffice.
4214
01:12:03,375 --> 01:12:03,833
It's not.
4215
01:12:03,833 --> 01:12:04,708
It's not enough.
4216
01:12:04,708 --> 01:12:05,458
Like they're
4217
01:12:05,458 --> 01:12:06,541
not getting
4218
01:12:06,541 --> 01:12:07,791
what they deserve.
4219
01:12:07,791 --> 01:12:08,208
It's so
4220
01:12:08,208 --> 01:12:09,041
they can't keep on
4221
01:12:09,041 --> 01:12:10,291
doing stupid things
4222
01:12:10,291 --> 01:12:11,125
over and over again
4223
01:12:11,125 --> 01:12:11,833
and never learned
4224
01:12:11,833 --> 01:12:12,541
their lesson.
4225
01:12:12,541 --> 01:12:13,166
That is simply
4226
01:12:13,166 --> 01:12:13,833
not possible
4227
01:12:13,833 --> 01:12:14,666
in Bitcoin.
4228
01:12:14,666 --> 01:12:15,458
Yeah, 100%.
4229
01:12:15,458 --> 01:12:15,875
They're almost
4230
01:12:15,875 --> 01:12:16,791
they're always forced
4231
01:12:16,791 --> 01:12:17,125
to make
4232
01:12:17,125 --> 01:12:18,750
those bad investments.
4233
01:12:18,750 --> 01:12:20,666
They're not playing a
4234
01:12:20,666 --> 01:12:21,041
they're,
4235
01:12:21,041 --> 01:12:23,791
they're playing a game
4236
01:12:23,791 --> 01:12:24,291
whereby
4237
01:12:24,291 --> 01:12:24,666
you don't
4238
01:12:24,666 --> 01:12:25,500
need everything
4239
01:12:25,500 --> 01:12:26,291
to win.
4240
01:12:26,291 --> 01:12:28,291
You just need one.
4241
01:12:28,291 --> 01:12:29,083
And, and
4242
01:12:29,083 --> 01:12:29,791
especially on the,
4243
01:12:29,791 --> 01:12:31,625
on the VC track,
4244
01:12:31,625 --> 01:12:32,500
which is, yeah,
4245
01:12:32,500 --> 01:12:33,625
inherently fiat.
4246
01:12:33,625 --> 01:12:34,625
And and
4247
01:12:34,625 --> 01:12:35,250
I think that,
4248
01:12:35,250 --> 01:12:35,500
you know,
4249
01:12:35,500 --> 01:12:36,000
I look at these
4250
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:37,333
big companies
4251
01:12:37,333 --> 01:12:38,041
with,
4252
01:12:38,041 --> 01:12:39,041
with all this cash
4253
01:12:39,041 --> 01:12:40,125
like I look at
4254
01:12:40,125 --> 01:12:40,541
Apple's
4255
01:12:40,541 --> 01:12:41,458
a great example
4256
01:12:41,458 --> 01:12:43,708
with this car recently
4257
01:12:43,708 --> 01:12:45,500
they piled
4258
01:12:45,500 --> 01:12:46,833
billions of dollars
4259
01:12:46,833 --> 01:12:49,833
into this car project
4260
01:12:50,041 --> 01:12:51,541
and then just
4261
01:12:51,541 --> 01:12:52,416
wiped it like
4262
01:12:52,416 --> 01:12:53,791
just scrap.
4263
01:12:54,791 --> 01:12:57,166
And what that means is
4264
01:12:57,166 --> 01:12:58,041
probably
4265
01:12:58,041 --> 01:12:58,666
they were
4266
01:12:58,666 --> 01:13:00,958
forcing things,
4267
01:13:00,958 --> 01:13:03,875
and they didn't have
4268
01:13:03,875 --> 01:13:04,250
they didn't
4269
01:13:04,250 --> 01:13:04,583
necessarily
4270
01:13:04,583 --> 01:13:04,833
have the
4271
01:13:04,833 --> 01:13:05,500
market signals
4272
01:13:05,500 --> 01:13:06,708
to bring that,
4273
01:13:06,708 --> 01:13:07,833
but they just thought,
4274
01:13:07,833 --> 01:13:08,041
well,
4275
01:13:08,041 --> 01:13:08,625
this cash
4276
01:13:08,625 --> 01:13:10,375
is deteriorating.
4277
01:13:10,375 --> 01:13:10,708
No, it's
4278
01:13:10,708 --> 01:13:11,166
what are we going
4279
01:13:11,166 --> 01:13:11,375
to do?
4280
01:13:11,375 --> 01:13:12,416
Well, on effect, it's
4281
01:13:12,416 --> 01:13:13,041
the Cantillon
4282
01:13:13,041 --> 01:13:13,708
effect and play.
4283
01:13:13,708 --> 01:13:14,166
They can
4284
01:13:14,166 --> 01:13:15,666
they can afford
4285
01:13:15,666 --> 01:13:17,500
to be wasteful
4286
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:18,041
because there's
4287
01:13:18,041 --> 01:13:18,541
no cost
4288
01:13:18,541 --> 01:13:19,291
to being wasteful.
4289
01:13:19,291 --> 01:13:20,166
In fact, it's better
4290
01:13:20,166 --> 01:13:20,458
for them
4291
01:13:20,458 --> 01:13:21,208
to be wasted or.
4292
01:13:21,208 --> 01:13:23,375
To be wasteful.
4293
01:13:23,375 --> 01:13:25,083
It's awful.
4294
01:13:25,083 --> 01:13:25,500
Yeah.
4295
01:13:25,500 --> 01:13:25,916
It is.
4296
01:13:25,916 --> 01:13:26,666
It's terrible, man.
4297
01:13:26,666 --> 01:13:27,708
It's, Yeah.
4298
01:13:27,708 --> 01:13:28,541
It's challenging.
4299
01:13:28,541 --> 01:13:28,916
It's it's
4300
01:13:28,916 --> 01:13:31,250
a challenging spot.
4301
01:13:31,250 --> 01:13:31,500
Yeah.
4302
01:13:31,500 --> 01:13:31,875
And like,
4303
01:13:31,875 --> 01:13:32,250
I guess
4304
01:13:32,250 --> 01:13:32,458
kind of
4305
01:13:32,458 --> 01:13:33,666
speaking of the
4306
01:13:33,666 --> 01:13:34,875
the challenges,
4307
01:13:34,875 --> 01:13:35,208
I mean,
4308
01:13:35,208 --> 01:13:36,666
I mean, right now
4309
01:13:36,666 --> 01:13:38,250
Canada, Alberta,
4310
01:13:38,250 --> 01:13:39,125
are, are both
4311
01:13:39,125 --> 01:13:41,208
interesting places,
4312
01:13:41,208 --> 01:13:41,916
to operate.
4313
01:13:41,916 --> 01:13:42,458
Alberta is an
4314
01:13:42,458 --> 01:13:43,291
interesting place
4315
01:13:43,291 --> 01:13:44,958
to operate.
4316
01:13:44,958 --> 01:13:46,541
And what it
4317
01:13:46,541 --> 01:13:47,250
what's coming
4318
01:13:47,250 --> 01:13:48,416
up for you like,
4319
01:13:48,416 --> 01:13:48,958
what are you
4320
01:13:48,958 --> 01:13:49,708
what are you,
4321
01:13:49,708 --> 01:13:50,625
aiming to,
4322
01:13:50,625 --> 01:13:52,208
to do, right now
4323
01:13:52,208 --> 01:13:52,666
as you're going
4324
01:13:52,666 --> 01:13:53,375
forward here.
4325
01:13:54,666 --> 01:13:55,000
Yeah.
4326
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:56,125
So we're
4327
01:13:56,125 --> 01:13:56,791
looking at Bitcoin.
4328
01:13:56,791 --> 01:13:58,708
Well,
4329
01:13:58,708 --> 01:13:58,958
very,
4330
01:13:58,958 --> 01:13:59,458
very excited
4331
01:13:59,458 --> 01:14:00,041
to make Canada
4332
01:14:00,041 --> 01:14:00,875
and us
4333
01:14:00,875 --> 01:14:01,666
kind of facilitate
4334
01:14:01,666 --> 01:14:03,666
that conduit here.
4335
01:14:03,666 --> 01:14:06,000
But more broadly,
4336
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,041
I've my wife
4337
01:14:07,041 --> 01:14:08,416
and I over the last
4338
01:14:08,416 --> 01:14:10,166
probably 12,
4339
01:14:10,166 --> 01:14:11,208
18 months
4340
01:14:11,208 --> 01:14:12,333
had this kind of
4341
01:14:12,333 --> 01:14:14,583
major decision.
4342
01:14:14,583 --> 01:14:14,916
Are we going to
4343
01:14:14,916 --> 01:14:15,875
stay or go?
4344
01:14:15,875 --> 01:14:16,666
And we went through
4345
01:14:16,666 --> 01:14:17,666
this exercise,
4346
01:14:17,666 --> 01:14:18,000
this thought
4347
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,416
process of,
4348
01:14:19,416 --> 01:14:20,166
you know, are we
4349
01:14:20,166 --> 01:14:21,625
are we happy here?
4350
01:14:21,625 --> 01:14:23,125
Well, no not really.
4351
01:14:23,125 --> 01:14:23,791
What are the pros
4352
01:14:23,791 --> 01:14:25,416
and cons?
4353
01:14:25,416 --> 01:14:26,375
And then and then,
4354
01:14:26,375 --> 01:14:27,708
you know, more cons,
4355
01:14:27,708 --> 01:14:28,250
but then it's
4356
01:14:28,250 --> 01:14:28,583
like, well,
4357
01:14:28,583 --> 01:14:29,750
where do we go?
4358
01:14:29,750 --> 01:14:30,708
And everywhere
4359
01:14:30,708 --> 01:14:32,666
is of subject
4360
01:14:32,666 --> 01:14:33,958
to the same fiat ness
4361
01:14:33,958 --> 01:14:34,458
that Canada
4362
01:14:34,458 --> 01:14:34,916
is some
4363
01:14:34,916 --> 01:14:36,125
a little bit less
4364
01:14:36,125 --> 01:14:36,958
some seeming
4365
01:14:36,958 --> 01:14:38,625
on the mend.
4366
01:14:38,625 --> 01:14:40,250
But all in all,
4367
01:14:40,250 --> 01:14:41,291
life gets
4368
01:14:41,291 --> 01:14:42,125
at best
4369
01:14:42,125 --> 01:14:45,125
marginally better,
4370
01:14:45,125 --> 01:14:46,375
than if
4371
01:14:46,375 --> 01:14:47,583
if we were to leave
4372
01:14:47,583 --> 01:14:48,916
and we'd lose all of
4373
01:14:48,916 --> 01:14:49,666
our, you know,
4374
01:14:49,666 --> 01:14:50,458
our community.
4375
01:14:51,541 --> 01:14:52,500
And, and
4376
01:14:52,500 --> 01:14:52,916
and that
4377
01:14:52,916 --> 01:14:53,625
whole, you know,
4378
01:14:53,625 --> 01:14:54,208
the family,
4379
01:14:54,208 --> 01:14:54,875
the friendships.
4380
01:14:54,875 --> 01:14:54,958
Like,
4381
01:14:54,958 --> 01:14:55,916
I grew up in the city
4382
01:14:55,916 --> 01:14:58,166
that we live in still,
4383
01:14:58,166 --> 01:14:59,375
my kids,
4384
01:14:59,375 --> 01:14:59,958
although we
4385
01:14:59,958 --> 01:15:00,833
are yanking the kids
4386
01:15:00,833 --> 01:15:02,041
out of school,
4387
01:15:02,041 --> 01:15:02,625
my kids were
4388
01:15:02,625 --> 01:15:03,250
at the same school
4389
01:15:03,250 --> 01:15:04,958
that I went to.
4390
01:15:04,958 --> 01:15:06,125
We play hockey.
4391
01:15:06,125 --> 01:15:06,791
Like,
4392
01:15:06,791 --> 01:15:07,708
we've got a really
4393
01:15:07,708 --> 01:15:09,166
strong community
4394
01:15:09,166 --> 01:15:11,083
in this,
4395
01:15:11,083 --> 01:15:11,750
in this city,
4396
01:15:11,750 --> 01:15:12,916
in this country.
4397
01:15:12,916 --> 01:15:13,833
And so about
4398
01:15:13,833 --> 01:15:14,875
six months ago,
4399
01:15:14,875 --> 01:15:15,500
we kind of made
4400
01:15:15,500 --> 01:15:18,000
the decision to stay,
4401
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,375
but then,
4402
01:15:20,375 --> 01:15:22,291
take action towards,
4403
01:15:22,291 --> 01:15:22,708
you know,
4404
01:15:22,708 --> 01:15:23,166
making it
4405
01:15:23,166 --> 01:15:25,166
a better place.
4406
01:15:25,166 --> 01:15:26,041
And so
4407
01:15:26,041 --> 01:15:27,041
kind of cementing
4408
01:15:27,041 --> 01:15:27,500
Bitcoin.
4409
01:15:27,500 --> 01:15:28,291
Well,
4410
01:15:28,291 --> 01:15:28,833
you know, here
4411
01:15:28,833 --> 01:15:31,375
in North America,
4412
01:15:31,375 --> 01:15:32,500
specifically making.
4413
01:15:32,500 --> 01:15:33,250
Yeah, Canada
4414
01:15:33,250 --> 01:15:34,041
and USA
4415
01:15:34,041 --> 01:15:34,875
having that conduit
4416
01:15:34,875 --> 01:15:35,833
between
4417
01:15:35,833 --> 01:15:37,625
between Self-custody
4418
01:15:37,625 --> 01:15:39,166
and legacy
4419
01:15:39,166 --> 01:15:41,000
financial system.
4420
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,083
I do believe
4421
01:15:42,083 --> 01:15:42,750
that my kids
4422
01:15:42,750 --> 01:15:43,208
will grow up
4423
01:15:43,208 --> 01:15:43,791
in a world
4424
01:15:43,791 --> 01:15:44,166
where they can
4425
01:15:44,166 --> 01:15:44,958
just have a Bitcoin
4426
01:15:44,958 --> 01:15:45,666
well, account,
4427
01:15:45,666 --> 01:15:46,500
they will not
4428
01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:47,375
need a bank account.
4429
01:15:47,375 --> 01:15:48,958
They'll be able to
4430
01:15:48,958 --> 01:15:50,166
send wire transfers
4431
01:15:50,166 --> 01:15:51,000
and buy a house
4432
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:52,083
and do all the things
4433
01:15:52,083 --> 01:15:53,833
that they need to do.
4434
01:15:53,833 --> 01:15:54,875
With the fiat world,
4435
01:15:55,916 --> 01:15:56,958
but the
4436
01:15:56,958 --> 01:15:58,333
majority of their
4437
01:15:58,333 --> 01:15:59,375
income
4438
01:15:59,375 --> 01:16:00,750
and the majority
4439
01:16:00,750 --> 01:16:01,833
of their
4440
01:16:01,833 --> 01:16:02,375
or all of
4441
01:16:02,375 --> 01:16:03,416
their savings
4442
01:16:03,416 --> 01:16:04,166
should be
4443
01:16:04,166 --> 01:16:05,083
in Self-custody.
4444
01:16:05,083 --> 01:16:06,416
And so,
4445
01:16:06,416 --> 01:16:06,666
yeah,
4446
01:16:06,666 --> 01:16:07,166
as far as what's
4447
01:16:07,166 --> 01:16:08,208
next, it's
4448
01:16:08,208 --> 01:16:09,208
that I think
4449
01:16:09,208 --> 01:16:10,000
that paycheck
4450
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:10,541
interaction,
4451
01:16:10,541 --> 01:16:11,875
something deeply
4452
01:16:11,875 --> 01:16:13,000
personal
4453
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:14,541
and powerful
4454
01:16:14,541 --> 01:16:16,375
about getting,
4455
01:16:16,375 --> 01:16:16,708
you know,
4456
01:16:16,708 --> 01:16:18,000
sending your paycheck
4457
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:19,250
and knowing a portion
4458
01:16:19,250 --> 01:16:19,875
or all of that
4459
01:16:19,875 --> 01:16:20,250
is turning
4460
01:16:20,250 --> 01:16:21,333
into Bitcoin
4461
01:16:21,333 --> 01:16:22,250
that is very good,
4462
01:16:22,250 --> 01:16:23,375
raw value.
4463
01:16:23,375 --> 01:16:23,708
And there's
4464
01:16:23,708 --> 01:16:24,625
so much opportunity
4465
01:16:24,625 --> 01:16:25,083
that we have.
4466
01:16:25,083 --> 01:16:25,666
On top of that,
4467
01:16:25,666 --> 01:16:26,333
we can start paying
4468
01:16:26,333 --> 01:16:26,916
people early.
4469
01:16:26,916 --> 01:16:27,541
We can give people
4470
01:16:27,541 --> 01:16:28,416
Bitcoin exposure
4471
01:16:28,416 --> 01:16:28,916
like they
4472
01:16:28,916 --> 01:16:29,666
there is just
4473
01:16:29,666 --> 01:16:30,750
there's opportunity
4474
01:16:30,750 --> 01:16:33,750
that exists here.
4475
01:16:33,750 --> 01:16:34,541
So yeah
4476
01:16:34,541 --> 01:16:36,541
all that to say,
4477
01:16:36,541 --> 01:16:37,333
what's next
4478
01:16:37,333 --> 01:16:37,833
is just
4479
01:16:37,833 --> 01:16:38,291
continuing down
4480
01:16:38,291 --> 01:16:38,791
the path.
4481
01:16:38,791 --> 01:16:39,916
We are very excited
4482
01:16:39,916 --> 01:16:40,541
about this.
4483
01:16:40,541 --> 01:16:42,000
These cash accounts
4484
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:42,541
giving people
4485
01:16:42,541 --> 01:16:43,041
the ability
4486
01:16:43,041 --> 01:16:44,250
to deposit paychecks,
4487
01:16:44,250 --> 01:16:45,000
receive bitcoin
4488
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:46,541
and self-custody.
4489
01:16:46,541 --> 01:16:47,791
Also,
4490
01:16:47,791 --> 01:16:49,125
this kind of solves
4491
01:16:49,125 --> 01:16:50,958
our Bitcoin bank
4492
01:16:50,958 --> 01:16:51,833
issue, right?
4493
01:16:51,833 --> 01:16:52,875
It's like
4494
01:16:52,875 --> 01:16:54,416
stupid banks, like,
4495
01:16:54,416 --> 01:16:55,458
well, don't send money
4496
01:16:55,458 --> 01:16:56,208
to those people.
4497
01:16:56,208 --> 01:16:56,583
We don't want
4498
01:16:56,583 --> 01:16:57,166
them to have it.
4499
01:16:57,166 --> 01:16:57,541
It's like,
4500
01:16:57,541 --> 01:16:58,625
okay, great.
4501
01:16:58,625 --> 01:16:59,375
Then we'll just
4502
01:16:59,375 --> 01:17:00,416
take the money first
4503
01:17:00,416 --> 01:17:01,416
and then give you
4504
01:17:01,416 --> 01:17:02,458
what's left over.
4505
01:17:02,458 --> 01:17:03,500
You know, like
4506
01:17:03,500 --> 01:17:04,875
this is kind of,
4507
01:17:04,875 --> 01:17:05,291
this is the
4508
01:17:05,291 --> 01:17:06,000
Cobra effect
4509
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:06,750
in real time.
4510
01:17:06,750 --> 01:17:07,208
Banks are
4511
01:17:07,208 --> 01:17:08,166
losing customers
4512
01:17:08,166 --> 01:17:08,833
because they will not
4513
01:17:08,833 --> 01:17:09,875
let their customers do
4514
01:17:09,875 --> 01:17:10,375
what they want
4515
01:17:10,375 --> 01:17:11,333
with their money.
4516
01:17:11,333 --> 01:17:11,875
And they've
4517
01:17:11,875 --> 01:17:12,333
been too big
4518
01:17:12,333 --> 01:17:13,958
to fail for so long.
4519
01:17:13,958 --> 01:17:16,625
Some incredibly, the
4520
01:17:16,625 --> 01:17:18,875
supernatural force
4521
01:17:18,875 --> 01:17:20,458
in Bitcoin comes along
4522
01:17:20,458 --> 01:17:21,125
and completely
4523
01:17:21,125 --> 01:17:22,291
disrupts their
4524
01:17:22,291 --> 01:17:23,458
their entire
4525
01:17:23,458 --> 01:17:24,208
being in their
4526
01:17:24,208 --> 01:17:25,583
entire business.
4527
01:17:25,583 --> 01:17:26,541
And, yeah,
4528
01:17:26,541 --> 01:17:26,958
I think that
4529
01:17:26,958 --> 01:17:27,375
we're going to be
4530
01:17:27,375 --> 01:17:28,041
in better shape
4531
01:17:28,041 --> 01:17:28,916
because of it.
4532
01:17:28,916 --> 01:17:30,666
But so yeah, the next
4533
01:17:30,666 --> 01:17:31,500
that's a little bit
4534
01:17:31,500 --> 01:17:32,500
I'm working right now.
4535
01:17:32,500 --> 01:17:35,041
We developed, a swap.
4536
01:17:35,041 --> 01:17:36,833
So we obviously send,
4537
01:17:36,833 --> 01:17:37,625
you know,
4538
01:17:37,625 --> 01:17:38,041
hundreds
4539
01:17:38,041 --> 01:17:39,250
of transactions a day
4540
01:17:39,250 --> 01:17:41,250
on chain. And
4541
01:17:42,666 --> 01:17:43,000
part of the
4542
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:43,500
benefits there is
4543
01:17:43,500 --> 01:17:43,833
that we can
4544
01:17:43,833 --> 01:17:45,333
swap transactions.
4545
01:17:45,333 --> 01:17:46,250
And so we made
4546
01:17:46,250 --> 01:17:47,166
a lightning
4547
01:17:47,166 --> 01:17:48,250
to chain and a chain
4548
01:17:48,250 --> 01:17:50,375
to lightning swap tool
4549
01:17:50,375 --> 01:17:51,125
where you can send
4550
01:17:51,125 --> 01:17:52,000
lightning and receive
4551
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,208
Bitcoin on chain,
4552
01:17:54,208 --> 01:17:55,083
like for free.
4553
01:17:55,083 --> 01:17:56,125
So no fee
4554
01:17:56,125 --> 01:17:57,125
and no minor fee.
4555
01:17:57,125 --> 01:17:57,791
Even you see,
4556
01:17:57,791 --> 01:17:58,416
if you send a million
4557
01:17:58,416 --> 01:17:59,625
SATs on lightning,
4558
01:17:59,625 --> 01:18:00,375
you get a million
4559
01:18:00,375 --> 01:18:01,958
SATs on chain.
4560
01:18:01,958 --> 01:18:03,708
And I want to open
4561
01:18:03,708 --> 01:18:05,250
that up worldwide.
4562
01:18:05,250 --> 01:18:06,833
So investigating,
4563
01:18:06,833 --> 01:18:07,291
you know,
4564
01:18:07,291 --> 01:18:08,166
all the fiat ness
4565
01:18:08,166 --> 01:18:08,458
that is
4566
01:18:08,458 --> 01:18:09,000
that is included
4567
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:10,208
that my wife has given
4568
01:18:10,208 --> 01:18:11,916
me pretty strict,
4569
01:18:11,916 --> 01:18:13,833
don't go to jail.
4570
01:18:13,833 --> 01:18:14,625
Rules.
4571
01:18:14,625 --> 01:18:14,916
That's
4572
01:18:14,916 --> 01:18:15,916
that's the sole rule
4573
01:18:15,916 --> 01:18:16,750
that I live behind
4574
01:18:16,750 --> 01:18:17,833
or that I live by.
4575
01:18:17,833 --> 01:18:19,333
And so abiding
4576
01:18:19,333 --> 01:18:19,916
by the don't
4577
01:18:19,916 --> 01:18:20,666
go to jail rule
4578
01:18:20,666 --> 01:18:22,291
forces me to be
4579
01:18:22,291 --> 01:18:23,500
relatively aware
4580
01:18:23,500 --> 01:18:24,416
of the compliance.
4581
01:18:26,166 --> 01:18:26,583
In other
4582
01:18:26,583 --> 01:18:27,250
jurisdictions.
4583
01:18:27,250 --> 01:18:27,875
And so currently
4584
01:18:27,875 --> 01:18:28,291
going through
4585
01:18:28,291 --> 01:18:28,958
that process.
4586
01:18:28,958 --> 01:18:30,333
But what that means
4587
01:18:30,333 --> 01:18:31,291
for us is,
4588
01:18:31,291 --> 01:18:31,791
first of all,
4589
01:18:31,791 --> 01:18:31,958
we get
4590
01:18:31,958 --> 01:18:32,666
to give the world
4591
01:18:32,666 --> 01:18:33,000
the ability
4592
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:34,375
to stack on lightning
4593
01:18:34,375 --> 01:18:34,958
and then
4594
01:18:34,958 --> 01:18:35,750
and then store
4595
01:18:35,750 --> 01:18:36,333
on chain.
4596
01:18:36,333 --> 01:18:36,708
And that's
4597
01:18:36,708 --> 01:18:37,666
probably the future
4598
01:18:37,666 --> 01:18:38,708
for the short term
4599
01:18:38,708 --> 01:18:40,083
stacking in an L2
4600
01:18:40,083 --> 01:18:41,250
secondary chain
4601
01:18:41,250 --> 01:18:41,791
where you are
4602
01:18:41,791 --> 01:18:42,250
giving up
4603
01:18:42,250 --> 01:18:43,083
custody rights,
4604
01:18:43,083 --> 01:18:44,208
like with either
4605
01:18:44,208 --> 01:18:45,125
liquid or lightning,
4606
01:18:45,125 --> 01:18:45,666
you're giving up
4607
01:18:45,666 --> 01:18:46,958
custody rights.
4608
01:18:46,958 --> 01:18:47,833
Frankly, you know,
4609
01:18:47,833 --> 01:18:48,666
you can run a node
4610
01:18:48,666 --> 01:18:51,000
and have channels.
4611
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:51,875
No one does that.
4612
01:18:51,875 --> 01:18:52,291
It is
4613
01:18:52,291 --> 01:18:53,583
it is the delta
4614
01:18:53,583 --> 01:18:54,666
between
4615
01:18:54,666 --> 01:18:56,041
that and
4616
01:18:56,041 --> 01:18:57,833
custody is so big,
4617
01:18:57,833 --> 01:18:59,916
I believe it's
4618
01:18:59,916 --> 01:19:00,583
like,
4619
01:19:00,583 --> 01:19:01,291
I guess personally
4620
01:19:01,291 --> 01:19:03,458
I do that.
4621
01:19:03,458 --> 01:19:04,625
But I don't believe
4622
01:19:04,625 --> 01:19:05,083
the majority
4623
01:19:05,083 --> 01:19:05,875
of our customers
4624
01:19:05,875 --> 01:19:06,541
will do that.
4625
01:19:06,541 --> 01:19:08,166
And so that said,
4626
01:19:08,166 --> 01:19:09,500
stacking on chain
4627
01:19:09,500 --> 01:19:10,291
in a self-custody
4628
01:19:10,291 --> 01:19:11,666
environment,
4629
01:19:11,666 --> 01:19:12,083
is getting
4630
01:19:12,083 --> 01:19:12,833
quite punitive,
4631
01:19:12,833 --> 01:19:13,833
or it could become
4632
01:19:13,833 --> 01:19:15,000
quite punitive with,
4633
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:15,750
so management
4634
01:19:15,750 --> 01:19:16,458
and so
4635
01:19:16,458 --> 01:19:17,791
stacking and lightning
4636
01:19:17,791 --> 01:19:18,333
in some kind
4637
01:19:18,333 --> 01:19:19,000
of layer to
4638
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:19,666
moving it on
4639
01:19:19,666 --> 01:19:20,666
chain to store,
4640
01:19:21,666 --> 01:19:22,500
feels like
4641
01:19:22,500 --> 01:19:23,458
the appropriate
4642
01:19:23,458 --> 01:19:24,333
intermediary
4643
01:19:24,333 --> 01:19:25,000
right now.
4644
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:25,708
And giving that to
4645
01:19:25,708 --> 01:19:26,083
the world
4646
01:19:26,083 --> 01:19:26,750
is very important.
4647
01:19:26,750 --> 01:19:27,541
And then for us,
4648
01:19:27,541 --> 01:19:28,083
we get to kind
4649
01:19:28,083 --> 01:19:29,375
of identify, hey,
4650
01:19:29,375 --> 01:19:30,208
you've got a pocket of
4651
01:19:30,208 --> 01:19:31,250
users in Brazil,
4652
01:19:31,250 --> 01:19:32,541
why don't we go
4653
01:19:32,541 --> 01:19:33,250
and start deploying
4654
01:19:33,250 --> 01:19:34,750
fiat services
4655
01:19:34,750 --> 01:19:35,583
in Brazil
4656
01:19:35,583 --> 01:19:38,041
or Mexico or whatever?
4657
01:19:38,041 --> 01:19:39,500
Sweden, Finland,
4658
01:19:39,500 --> 01:19:41,291
you know, mind you,
4659
01:19:41,291 --> 01:19:41,833
you get your
4660
01:19:41,833 --> 01:19:42,750
your jurisdiction
4661
01:19:42,750 --> 01:19:45,333
is crazy for,
4662
01:19:45,333 --> 01:19:46,833
laws and compliance.
4663
01:19:46,833 --> 01:19:47,666
So maybe not,
4664
01:19:47,666 --> 01:19:48,750
but we'll see.
4665
01:19:48,750 --> 01:19:49,458
No, but,
4666
01:19:49,458 --> 01:19:50,208
I got the fuck
4667
01:19:50,208 --> 01:19:50,791
out of Sweden
4668
01:19:50,791 --> 01:19:51,625
because of.
4669
01:19:51,625 --> 01:19:52,416
So that's
4670
01:19:52,416 --> 01:19:52,791
one of the
4671
01:19:52,791 --> 01:19:54,416
other things.
4672
01:19:54,416 --> 01:19:55,416
Yes.
4673
01:19:55,416 --> 01:19:57,041
It's, Yeah.
4674
01:19:57,041 --> 01:19:58,083
It's crazy.
4675
01:19:58,083 --> 01:19:59,291
It's a nightmare
4676
01:19:59,291 --> 01:19:59,583
that's.
4677
01:19:59,583 --> 01:20:00,833
In Europe has, like,
4678
01:20:00,833 --> 01:20:01,708
all of it
4679
01:20:01,708 --> 01:20:02,375
kind of its own,
4680
01:20:02,375 --> 01:20:03,625
its own suite
4681
01:20:03,625 --> 01:20:04,666
of services
4682
01:20:04,666 --> 01:20:05,375
and providers
4683
01:20:05,375 --> 01:20:05,833
and stuff.
4684
01:20:05,833 --> 01:20:06,291
It
4685
01:20:06,291 --> 01:20:06,750
we actually
4686
01:20:06,750 --> 01:20:07,625
don't talk to,
4687
01:20:07,625 --> 01:20:08,416
I think the North
4688
01:20:08,416 --> 01:20:10,083
American side
4689
01:20:10,083 --> 01:20:10,916
that often.
4690
01:20:10,916 --> 01:20:11,958
So great to great
4691
01:20:11,958 --> 01:20:12,375
to hear
4692
01:20:12,375 --> 01:20:13,458
your perspective.
4693
01:20:13,458 --> 01:20:14,166
Great to see you
4694
01:20:14,166 --> 01:20:15,166
what you're doing.
4695
01:20:15,166 --> 01:20:16,458
I mean like,
4696
01:20:16,458 --> 01:20:17,458
our touch points
4697
01:20:17,458 --> 01:20:18,000
with Canadian
4698
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:18,583
Bitcoiners
4699
01:20:18,583 --> 01:20:19,500
over the last
4700
01:20:19,500 --> 01:20:20,083
few months,
4701
01:20:20,083 --> 01:20:20,958
everyone's awesome.
4702
01:20:20,958 --> 01:20:21,375
I mean, we've
4703
01:20:21,375 --> 01:20:22,083
we've talked to,
4704
01:20:25,333 --> 01:20:26,541
but Ben,
4705
01:20:26,541 --> 01:20:27,333
Ben Sessions, I
4706
01:20:27,333 --> 01:20:29,125
know as Ben Perrin.
4707
01:20:29,125 --> 01:20:29,666
It's cubicle
4708
01:20:29,666 --> 01:20:30,125
calling him.
4709
01:20:30,125 --> 01:20:31,208
Just BTC sessions.
4710
01:20:31,208 --> 01:20:32,541
We talked to him.
4711
01:20:32,541 --> 01:20:33,958
Yeah. Mr. sessions.
4712
01:20:33,958 --> 01:20:35,041
Mr. sessions? Yeah.
4713
01:20:35,041 --> 01:20:37,583
Dave Bradley, like,
4714
01:20:37,583 --> 01:20:38,041
all the
4715
01:20:38,041 --> 01:20:38,833
the Canadian
4716
01:20:38,833 --> 01:20:39,625
community is,
4717
01:20:39,625 --> 01:20:40,166
is just
4718
01:20:40,166 --> 01:20:41,916
absolutely fantastic.
4719
01:20:41,916 --> 01:20:43,083
The Alberta
4720
01:20:43,083 --> 01:20:44,250
Nasdaq like.
4721
01:20:44,250 --> 01:20:45,208
Yes. Exact.
4722
01:20:45,208 --> 01:20:46,333
Exactly. Yeah.
4723
01:20:46,333 --> 01:20:46,791
I mentioned
4724
01:20:46,791 --> 01:20:48,500
a few of Frances.
4725
01:20:48,500 --> 01:20:49,041
Yeah, yeah.
4726
01:20:49,041 --> 01:20:49,958
Yeah, exactly.
4727
01:20:49,958 --> 01:20:51,583
And so, no.
4728
01:20:51,583 --> 01:20:52,500
Awesome to see
4729
01:20:52,500 --> 01:20:53,750
what you're doing.
4730
01:20:53,750 --> 01:20:55,625
And
4731
01:20:55,625 --> 01:20:56,666
looking forward to,
4732
01:20:56,666 --> 01:20:57,458
to seeing everything
4733
01:20:57,458 --> 01:20:58,625
that is coming up
4734
01:20:58,625 --> 01:20:59,541
with Bitcoin.
4735
01:20:59,541 --> 01:21:02,291
Well, so, yeah.
4736
01:21:02,291 --> 01:21:02,875
Adam was,
4737
01:21:02,875 --> 01:21:03,208
was there
4738
01:21:03,208 --> 01:21:03,666
anything else
4739
01:21:03,666 --> 01:21:04,083
you wanted
4740
01:21:04,083 --> 01:21:05,666
to, to touch on that
4741
01:21:05,666 --> 01:21:06,208
we haven't
4742
01:21:06,208 --> 01:21:07,291
already covered?
4743
01:21:07,291 --> 01:21:07,708
Now man,
4744
01:21:07,708 --> 01:21:08,333
this is great.
4745
01:21:08,333 --> 01:21:09,000
You guys crash it.
4746
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:09,875
It's always fun
4747
01:21:09,875 --> 01:21:10,541
driving down
4748
01:21:10,541 --> 01:21:11,458
the philosophical
4749
01:21:11,458 --> 01:21:12,125
rabbit hole
4750
01:21:12,125 --> 01:21:13,416
of of bitcoin.
4751
01:21:13,416 --> 01:21:13,958
And,
4752
01:21:13,958 --> 01:21:14,750
you know,
4753
01:21:14,750 --> 01:21:15,375
bitcoiners
4754
01:21:15,375 --> 01:21:16,166
get a lot of flack
4755
01:21:16,166 --> 01:21:16,625
for saying
4756
01:21:16,625 --> 01:21:17,750
Bitcoin fixes this.
4757
01:21:17,750 --> 01:21:18,541
But when you run down
4758
01:21:18,541 --> 01:21:20,541
the logic train,
4759
01:21:20,541 --> 01:21:21,416
Bitcoin fixes
4760
01:21:21,416 --> 01:21:22,208
a lot of things.
4761
01:21:23,625 --> 01:21:24,708
Absolutely.
4762
01:21:24,708 --> 01:21:26,000
Almost everything.
4763
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:26,833
Almost everything
4764
01:21:26,833 --> 01:21:28,500
then and it's
4765
01:21:28,500 --> 01:21:29,583
it's it is
4766
01:21:29,583 --> 01:21:31,625
really remarkable,
4767
01:21:31,625 --> 01:21:32,791
that we get to live
4768
01:21:32,791 --> 01:21:34,083
in a time
4769
01:21:34,083 --> 01:21:35,208
to contribute to that,
4770
01:21:35,208 --> 01:21:36,000
like you guys
4771
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:36,833
with your show,
4772
01:21:36,833 --> 01:21:38,000
you know, like,
4773
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:38,375
you know, what
4774
01:21:38,375 --> 01:21:38,791
we get to do
4775
01:21:38,791 --> 01:21:40,833
with Bitcoin? Well,
4776
01:21:40,833 --> 01:21:42,750
I just think about
4777
01:21:42,750 --> 01:21:43,458
and you know,
4778
01:21:43,458 --> 01:21:44,125
there's a chance
4779
01:21:44,125 --> 01:21:44,541
that we don't
4780
01:21:44,541 --> 01:21:45,125
get any credit,
4781
01:21:45,125 --> 01:21:46,500
which is fine.
4782
01:21:46,500 --> 01:21:46,833
You know
4783
01:21:46,833 --> 01:21:47,375
I don't know who
4784
01:21:47,375 --> 01:21:47,875
made the first
4785
01:21:47,875 --> 01:21:49,166
printing press,
4786
01:21:49,166 --> 01:21:49,833
but I know it was
4787
01:21:49,833 --> 01:21:50,791
pretty damn important
4788
01:21:50,791 --> 01:21:51,500
for the future
4789
01:21:51,500 --> 01:21:52,625
of democracy.
4790
01:21:52,625 --> 01:21:53,791
Gutenberg.
4791
01:21:53,791 --> 01:21:54,708
It was it.
4792
01:21:54,708 --> 01:21:57,708
Yeah.
4793
01:21:59,000 --> 01:21:59,375
So, yeah,
4794
01:21:59,375 --> 01:22:00,000
I think it's cool.
4795
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:00,541
I think it's great
4796
01:22:00,541 --> 01:22:00,875
that we get
4797
01:22:00,875 --> 01:22:01,833
to communicate.
4798
01:22:01,833 --> 01:22:03,000
And,
4799
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:03,875
and I think it's great
4800
01:22:03,875 --> 01:22:04,291
that we get to
4801
01:22:04,291 --> 01:22:05,666
contribute to
4802
01:22:05,666 --> 01:22:06,333
what the future
4803
01:22:06,333 --> 01:22:07,083
of Bitcoin will be.
4804
01:22:07,083 --> 01:22:08,125
So yeah,
4805
01:22:08,125 --> 01:22:09,125
hats off to you guys.
4806
01:22:09,125 --> 01:22:09,541
Thanks so much
4807
01:22:09,541 --> 01:22:10,166
for having me.
4808
01:22:10,166 --> 01:22:11,000
And looking forward
4809
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:12,416
to our chat soon.
4810
01:22:12,416 --> 01:22:12,666
Yeah.
4811
01:22:12,666 --> 01:22:13,791
Final thought,
4812
01:22:13,791 --> 01:22:14,458
did you know that
4813
01:22:14,458 --> 01:22:15,333
you can mix
4814
01:22:15,333 --> 01:22:16,916
like milk, sugar,
4815
01:22:16,916 --> 01:22:18,000
eggs and butter and
4816
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:18,416
store your
4817
01:22:18,416 --> 01:22:19,166
bitcoin in that
4818
01:22:21,041 --> 01:22:21,666
weather with a
4819
01:22:21,666 --> 01:22:22,500
vanilla vanilla
4820
01:22:22,500 --> 01:22:24,125
extract? Give me this.
4821
01:22:24,125 --> 01:22:25,250
How do you do that?
4822
01:22:25,250 --> 01:22:25,666
It's called
4823
01:22:25,666 --> 01:22:28,666
self-custody.
4824
01:22:29,916 --> 01:22:31,500
Okay.
4825
01:22:31,500 --> 01:22:33,041
I will accept that.
4826
01:22:33,041 --> 01:22:34,375
And I will,
4827
01:22:34,375 --> 01:22:35,375
I will go try it.
4828
01:22:35,375 --> 01:22:35,875
It sounds
4829
01:22:35,875 --> 01:22:36,750
just like eggnog
4830
01:22:36,750 --> 01:22:38,666
to me, but.
4831
01:22:38,666 --> 01:22:39,041
Events
4832
01:22:39,041 --> 01:22:41,458
on how you mix, like
4833
01:22:41,458 --> 01:22:42,666
if you use wasabi
4834
01:22:42,666 --> 01:22:45,416
or not, like, but,
4835
01:22:45,416 --> 01:22:46,291
all right, anywhere
4836
01:22:46,291 --> 01:22:46,833
you want to send
4837
01:22:46,833 --> 01:22:48,875
our listeners, more.
4838
01:22:48,875 --> 01:22:49,125
Yeah.
4839
01:22:49,125 --> 01:22:50,291
I mean, certainly go
4840
01:22:50,291 --> 01:22:50,916
go to Bitcoin.
4841
01:22:50,916 --> 01:22:52,333
Welcome.
4842
01:22:52,333 --> 01:22:53,166
We're going to be,
4843
01:22:53,166 --> 01:22:54,000
like I said, that
4844
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:54,583
swap tool.
4845
01:22:54,583 --> 01:22:55,000
I'm working
4846
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:56,166
very hard to get this.
4847
01:22:56,166 --> 01:22:57,375
I want this live.
4848
01:22:57,375 --> 01:22:58,583
And so,
4849
01:22:58,583 --> 01:23:00,541
got a Bitcoin welcome.
4850
01:23:00,541 --> 01:23:01,416
Make an account
4851
01:23:01,416 --> 01:23:03,208
and then do nothing.
4852
01:23:03,208 --> 01:23:04,458
And we'll,
4853
01:23:04,458 --> 01:23:05,125
when it's live,
4854
01:23:05,125 --> 01:23:05,666
it'll be live.
4855
01:23:05,666 --> 01:23:06,458
But also, you know,
4856
01:23:06,458 --> 01:23:08,041
like on Twitter,
4857
01:23:08,041 --> 01:23:09,375
you can get me at Adam
4858
01:23:09,375 --> 01:23:10,458
O'Brien underscore
4859
01:23:10,458 --> 01:23:11,250
or on primal
4860
01:23:11,250 --> 01:23:12,875
or on nosotros. Sorry.
4861
01:23:12,875 --> 01:23:14,166
You can get me.
4862
01:23:14,166 --> 01:23:15,250
I'm a I'm a nipple
4863
01:23:15,250 --> 01:23:16,583
five maxi.
4864
01:23:16,583 --> 01:23:17,333
Meaning I'm
4865
01:23:17,333 --> 01:23:18,000
not going to sit here
4866
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:18,958
and rattle off my
4867
01:23:18,958 --> 01:23:20,083
my job,
4868
01:23:20,083 --> 01:23:20,583
but I am going
4869
01:23:20,583 --> 01:23:21,333
to get nipple
4870
01:23:21,333 --> 01:23:22,333
five verification
4871
01:23:22,333 --> 01:23:23,625
which is just Adam
4872

4873
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:27,583
So btc w is
4874
01:23:27,583 --> 01:23:28,625
this is the shorthand
4875
01:23:28,625 --> 01:23:29,125
for bitcoin.
4876
01:23:29,125 --> 01:23:30,625
Well dot app
4877
01:23:30,625 --> 01:23:31,250
that's my nipple.
4878
01:23:31,250 --> 01:23:32,125
Five verification.
4879
01:23:32,125 --> 01:23:33,000
If you search that
4880
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:34,000
in any in any,
4881
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,166
Nostre client,
4882
01:23:35,166 --> 01:23:37,166
you'll likely see me

01:23:37,166 --> 01:23:38,041
and Yeah,
4884
01:23:38,041 --> 01:23:39,333
follow me there.
4885
01:23:39,333 --> 01:23:40,083
We'd love to connect
4886
01:23:40,083 --> 01:23:40,875
with more Bitcoiners,
4887
01:23:40,875 --> 01:23:42,000
especially,
4888
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:42,375
you know,
4889
01:23:42,375 --> 01:23:43,000
international
4890
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:43,875
Bitcoiners are great
4891
01:23:43,875 --> 01:23:44,708

01:23:45,500 --> 01:23:46,166
looking for a place
4894
01:23:46,166 --> 01:23:46,916
to stay one day,
4895
01:23:46,916 --> 01:23:47,666
and then,
4896
01:23:47,666 --> 01:23:48,333
and then we'll
4897
01:23:48,333 --> 01:23:49,041
have some fun.
4898
01:23:51,125 --> 01:23:52,291
Thank you very much.
4899
01:23:52,291 --> 01:23:52,666
Adam.
4900
01:23:52,666 --> 01:23:54,166
This has been,
4901
01:23:54,166 --> 01:23:55,166
a great conversation.
4902
01:23:55,166 --> 01:23:56,583
I enjoyed it a lot.

Thank you
4907
01:23:59,541 --> 01:24:00,958
for everything. Yeah.
4908
01:24:00,958 --> 01:24:01,791
