00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,920
What's up freaks? This rip of RHR was brought to you by our good friends at CoinKite.

2
00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:13,700
They produce the Cold Card Q, my favorite hardware wallet. It's got two secure enclaves,

3
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:18,460
it's got a full screen, full keyboard here. As you can see, if you're watching, if you can't watch,

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,020
just imagine something that looks like a BlackBerry. It allows you to create private

5
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:29,560
public key pairs offline in an airgat fashion. Never have to connect the Cold Card Q to an

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:36,220
internet device you can sign transactions and psbt's remotely in the most secure fashion if

7
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:40,960
you're a bitcoin power user and you're looking for the best security go pick up a cold card queue

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,660
and go to coin kite.com find the cold card queue there i think you go to cold card.com as well

9
00:00:46,660 --> 00:00:53,420
use the code rhr for five percent off step up your security get a cold card queue this route was also

10
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:58,960
brought to you by our good friends at stack work if you're looking for a great way to make kyc

11

free sets stack work has bounties go to stackwork.ai find their bounties page and contribute

12
00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:10,240
to the bounties you can make bitcoin kyc free for completing the bounties if you're a developer

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,480
looking to scoop up some easy sets go check out the bounties contribute to them and stack some

14
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:23,740
sets stackwork.ai matt and i've been talking about privacy and the importance of using a vpn for

15
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:28,180
seven years now literally seven years i believe at least once every episode or two it's like hey

16
00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:29,100
Make sure you're running a VPN.

17
00:01:29,740 --> 00:01:31,340
I think it's especially important today

18
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:33,160
where you have governments in the UK,

19
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,460
other parts of Europe, all across the world,

20
00:01:35,860 --> 00:01:37,380
really trying to introduce digital ID

21
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:39,620
and curbing speech with hate speech laws.

22
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,500
Make sure you're protecting your privacy

23
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:44,600
and shielding yourself from government surveillance

24
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,400
as you're perusing the web.

25
00:01:47,020 --> 00:01:49,880
Our VPN of choice here at RHR is Obscura.

26
00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:52,060
It's built by a Bitcoiner for Bitcoiners.

27
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:54,300
Carl Dung did some very critical work for Bitcoin

28
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:57,120
back in the day, but he decided to shift his focus

29
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,180
to bring privacy to everybody with Obscura.

30
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:01,080
It is a VPN that cannot log.

31
00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:02,540
Literally, by the way, it's designed.

32
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,420
A lot of VPNs will hand ways, say, we're not logging, we're not logging.

33
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:06,180
You can't trust them.

34
00:02:06,580 --> 00:02:08,120
You want the VPN that cannot log.

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,160
That is Obscura.

36
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:10,920
Go to Obscura.net.

37
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:15,480
Use the code RHR for 25% off when you sign up any of their deals.

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,420
Make sure you're using it, particularly if you're in one of these countries

39
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:20,760
where the governments are becoming extremely censorious

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,920
and targeting citizens that exhibit wrong things.

41
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,920
You should be running a VPN.

42
00:02:25,140 --> 00:02:26,360
That VPN should be Obscura.

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:33,060
obscura.net code rhr 25 off this rip was brought to you by our official electrolyte sponsor here

44
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:39,760
at rhr salt of the earth you've been hearing matt and i talk about it quite a bit i drink multiple

49
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,180
she's right behind me right now laughing, but she's laughing because she knows it's true. She

50
00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:09,880
drinks like seven a day. I drink a few a day, maybe seven a day too. Matt, I don't even want

51
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,920
to tell you how much he's drinking. It's good. It keeps you hydrated. It keeps you alert,

52
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:21,520
keeps you ready to go. drinkssote.com. That's D-R-I-N-K-S-O-T-E.com. Use the code RHR

for 15% off any order.

54
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,480
You've had a dynamic where money's become freer than free.

55
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,580
When you talk about a Fed just gone nuts,

56
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:39,240
all the central banks going nuts.

57
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:41,440
So it's all acting like safe haven.

58
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,040
I believe that in a world where central bankers

59
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,480
are tripping over themselves to devalue their currency,

60
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,820
Bitcoin wins.

61
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:50,220
In the world of fiat currencies,

62
00:03:50,220 --> 00:03:52,060
Bitcoin is the victor.

63
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,900
I mean, that's part of the bull case for Bitcoin.

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,420
If you're not paying attention,

65
00:03:57,020 --> 00:03:57,780
you probably should be.

66
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:01,240
Oh, we're on the air.

67
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:03,640
Freaks.

68
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,020
Bit of a low energy pre-recording

69
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:09,340
backstage here, Matt and I.

70
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:10,580
That's tired, I'm sick,

71
00:04:10,660 --> 00:04:11,880
but we're going to pick it up for you, okay?

72
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:13,860
The show must go on, as they say.

73
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:15,780
Always.

74
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Push forward.

75
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:27,020
in a few weeks now that ai is fully recursive it's just going to be

76
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:35,340
uh it's going to be ai marty and matt running this so yeah no i don't think uh

77
00:04:35,340 --> 00:04:42,600
i i think somehow in the ai side and maybe this is just a human thing it's like

78
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:52,900
there's very people in the middle ground most people are are uh overestimating the speed or

79
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:57,480
underestimating the speed which this stuff progresses i mean it's still

80
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:07,320
i'm now officially you know two weeks deep in this soulless robot slave rabbit hole

81
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:13,380
and in a lot of ways i mean it's incredibly powerful it's really promising

82
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:18,820
but it's also super frustrating it's it's an advanced toddler it's a

83
00:05:18,820 --> 00:05:27,620
yeah i think uh a month in the playing with us too it's i would agree advanced toddler maybe a

84
00:05:27,620 --> 00:05:34,620
teenager maybe a teenager at a prep school or something like that but uh it yeah i mean it's

85
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:39,160
There's not a perfect human metaphor to it because it's obviously doing...

86
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,580
I would not have my toddler doing automated trades on LN markets,

87
00:05:44,580 --> 00:05:49,520
but also at the same time, I mean, specifically when you're talking about

88
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,880
recursive improvements or autonomy of being on its own and doing its own thing,

89
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:58,180
you really see the pain points on the recurring tasks.

90
00:05:58,940 --> 00:06:03,160
You can get everything dialed in on the recurring tasks and everything is working great.

91
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,180
and then something happens and you just like wake up one morning and it just has no idea what it's

92
00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:17,500
doing it's gone in a complete wrong tangents it's deleting files it's updating shit you know the

93
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:24,420
the whole living room's a mess and then somehow it just can't relearn the skills it's like trying

94
00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:29,260
to figure it out and you're like okay look i'm wiping you we're gonna start fresh everyone take

95
00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:35,900
a deep breath here and let's proceed well i spent a lot of this week trying to fix that because i

96
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:42,060
ran into that problem and upgrading my memory system using like qmd which is uh toby from

97
00:06:42,060 --> 00:06:52,100
shopify's uh project yeah i think predates open claw and uh upgrading to opus 4.6 on the back end

98
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,360
has the brain has been pretty massive.

99
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,680
Yeah, I mean, Opus 4.6 is also just stupid expensive.

100
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Yeah.

101
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:07,880
Shout out to Mav21 for the 21,000 sat zap already in the Nostra live stream.

102
00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:09,640
You are correct.

103
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:15,040
It looks like X live streams are having trouble.

104
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:15,940
I don't think we're up there.

105
00:07:15,940 --> 00:07:18,040
I think I have to

106
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,560
I have like a diagnosis

107
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,940
if you go to the 1031x account

108
00:07:24,940 --> 00:07:26,260
does it show that

109
00:07:26,260 --> 00:07:29,400
it's saying there's no tweet

110
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,260
but we do have the pink live

111
00:07:32,260 --> 00:07:35,640
supposedly the tweets aren't going out

112
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,580
you have to manually

113
00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:40,880
post this

114
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:48,160
I'm sure you saw that letter that went mega viral

115
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,580
earlier this week from somebody working at an AI company saying

116
00:07:51,580 --> 00:07:54,780
you need to be afraid and use my AI tools

117
00:07:54,780 --> 00:07:59,780
some half-truths in there

118
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:04,200
it is certainly leading into it but I think the idea

119
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,340
that white-collar workers are going to be blown out of the water

120
00:08:08,340 --> 00:08:10,860
in the next 12 months is a bit aggressive.

121
00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:15,000
John Arnold and I talked about it a lot this week.

122
00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:17,260
John Arnold from 1031 and I were in New York

123
00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:18,660
for a couple days together this week.

124
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,400
Our two breakfast chats revolved around this topic,

125
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,980
among other things, and just the inertia that exists

126
00:08:27,980 --> 00:08:31,740
within large organizations, people like their fiefdoms,

127
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,840
to think that they're going to give that up easily and quickly

128
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,360
is probably naive.

129
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,700
And then on top of that, to your point,

130
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,160
I think the tools are really cool, they're really good,

131
00:08:42,220 --> 00:08:47,320
but the edge cases are vast and definitely not buttoned up yet.

132
00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:51,100
When you're considering the amount of sensitive data

133
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:55,520
that would be required to replace white-collar workers

134
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,840
and trust with these agents, these bots,

135
00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:02,360
I don't think we're there yet from a security perspective.

136
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:13,320
no i mean i think once again it's a timing thing right um and i think people are either

137
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,720
over indexing or under indexing but the reality the reality is

138
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:27,320
um this is going to be massively disruptive to the workforce i think it was larry wasn't

139
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:47,300
And Larry Fink had a speech recently where he said it's basically going to do to white collar work what globalization did to blue collar work, which I think is probably a pretty decent analogy in a sea of bad analogies.

140
00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:55,720
And if you think about it that way, it's not like all the factory workers in the US all lost their jobs at the same time.

141
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:07,820
There was a gradually then suddenly acceleration process that resulted in globalization and a hollowing out of industrial centers in the United States.

142
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,860
It wasn't like one day everyone woke up and lost their job.

143
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:14,260
And that's probably where we're going here.

144
00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:29,400
And specifically, I think the idea that humans completely leave the equation is in line with this whole concept of AGI is probably significantly off the mark.

145
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:47,780
I think you see one employee or one manager doing the job that would normally take 10 or 20, and that person is enhanced by these tools and is a more effective team member as a result, right?

146
00:10:48,740 --> 00:10:48,940
Yeah.

147
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,840
I was at an event in New York last night.

148
00:10:53,340 --> 00:10:56,940
I'm going to take the late train back to Philly with the event I was at.

149
00:10:56,940 --> 00:11:01,720
the founder of AQR, which is a quad hedge fund, was speaking.

150
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,200
This topic came up, and I thought his take was pretty good.

151
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,220
I mean, and it's something that's not new, but it was just reinforcing,

152
00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:17,920
which is we've seen this type of, I mean, not at this scale, in this pace,

153
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,860
but I think humans are very adaptable, and I find it hard to believe

154
00:11:22,860 --> 00:11:25,460
that we're just going to have an economy where nobody works.

155
00:11:26,420 --> 00:11:27,440
Jobs will be different.

156
00:11:28,580 --> 00:11:29,860
You'll focus on other things.

157
00:11:30,980 --> 00:11:36,120
I think we're at the beginning of let a million flowers bloom.

158
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:40,800
I think it's actually going to be really exciting in the sense that

159
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,140
people are just going to be able to project things they want

160
00:11:45,140 --> 00:11:48,340
that are unique to their minds and their ideas on the world.

161
00:11:48,340 --> 00:12:02,080
Yeah, I mean, if you have mass unemployment and hopelessness, it results in revolutions and civil wars.

162
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:07,180
So there's a balancing act that the elites need to make sure exists.

163
00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:13,120
And part of that balancing act is telling the lie of universal high income, like Elon likes to say.

164
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:24,020
um and so i mean i think the socialist utopia people are obviously completely wrong and

165
00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:31,320
batshit crazy um so this idea that people aren't going to work and are going to have like a high

166
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:39,680
quality of life is just you know it's like unicorns and rainbows just bullshit um and uh

167
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:46,080
This idea that – but the idea that people have to find a way to survive or they die, right?

168
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,420
So people will be working.

169
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,320
Really?

170
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,920
They don't survive, they die?

171
00:12:52,140 --> 00:13:00,940
Look, I think the unfortunate reality though is this is going to accelerate and make worse the levels of income inequality we see right now.

172
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:08,120
And the pervert example you see is what you just said, right?

173
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,020
It's like, oh, you're using Opus 4.6 and you have an edge on everyone else.

174
00:13:12,140 --> 00:13:13,160
Well, it's expensive as fuck.

175
00:13:14,420 --> 00:13:22,700
And there's a balancing act here where you have the doomers on one side that says, you know, this is the end of humanity wrong.

176
00:13:23,540 --> 00:13:26,720
You have the utopians, you know, on the other side.

177
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,180
They're also wrong on the opposite extreme.

178
00:13:32,620 --> 00:13:35,780
I think this will probably be a step up improvement for society.

179
00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:42,180
and you have this combination of wealth accruing to a small elite,

180
00:13:42,820 --> 00:13:45,820
specifically a tech elite, and accelerating in that direction.

181
00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:51,880
But on the other side, you have more accessible freedom tools

182
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,860
than you've ever had before because of these open source AI tools.

183
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,680
I mean, I was talking to Callie a few days ago.

184
00:13:58,820 --> 00:14:03,220
It's like there's hours of Citadel Dispatch where we discuss the pain points

185
00:14:03,220 --> 00:14:08,200
of a user having to figure out which mint to choose when they use cashew.

186
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,020
Well, it turns out all of that was a waste of time

187
00:14:11,020 --> 00:14:13,560
because you just tell the robot to create a cashew wallet

188
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,320
and it just figures out what mints it's going to use.

189
00:14:16,780 --> 00:14:19,140
And it is able to actually look at webs of trust

190
00:14:19,140 --> 00:14:23,940
and verifiable reputations and balance risk between multiple mints

191
00:14:23,940 --> 00:14:28,020
and do all these complex things that UX-wise was almost impossible

192
00:14:28,020 --> 00:14:30,640
to translate to an end user.

193
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,500
the robot can just do that without the user even realizing.

194
00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:37,940
For years, we've talked about the difficulties with Lightning liquidity.

195
00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:41,220
Well, I have in the notes, might as well just bring it up now,

196
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:48,240
that Amboss just released an MCP spec for bots to buy liquidity on their marketplace.

197
00:14:49,540 --> 00:14:54,200
In my mind, before this existed, I always thought it was batshit crazy

198
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,600
that people were going to go and manually buy liquidity for their Lightning channels.

199
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,900
And I think it still is mostly batshit crazy that people are going to do that.

200
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,060
But is it batshit crazy that a bot will do that?

201
00:15:04,180 --> 00:15:04,400
No.

202
00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:06,040
Someone's going to have a small business.

203
00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:09,260
They're going to sell coffee on the shack or something.

204
00:15:09,540 --> 00:15:11,160
And they're going to want to accept payments.

205
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,700
And they're going to want to have a social presence.

206
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:24,680
And they're just going to tell the bot, create a lightning node, spin up a Nostra account, update the Nostra account, manage my lightning liquidity and accept payments, and then put it all in a QuickBooks file for me.

207
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,480
You don't even need QuickBooks at that point.

208
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,660
I put it all in the bookkeeping files to keep track of all my payments.

209
00:15:29,660 --> 00:15:36,060
And then you can do that all in a freedom stack without big tech if you want, and it'll be more accessible than ever.

210
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:49,200
But then at the same time, you'll have flock cameras on every fucking corner and people's cameras in their backyards, all face tracking people and co-opting them and capturing them.

211
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,380
So you have like two sides of the same coin that are doing different things.

212
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:58,400
and one is empowering individuals and one is capturing individuals.

213
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,060
But that's how it's always been, right?

214
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,360
That's how it is with Bitcoin.

215
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:04,480
You can use Bitcoin in varying levels of freedom.

216
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,400
Same with this.

217
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:08,380
Yeah.

218
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,980
And on that note, on the sovereign stack,

219
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,560
we've been talking to the Maple guys behind the scene.

220
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,560
They're working hard to make sure that sovereign LLM stack

221
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,960
is done the right way.

222
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,120
I'm very excited to see what they

223
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,560
roll out the coming months

224
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,720
yeah I mean the UX

225
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,320
again the projectionist sort of meme

226
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,540
out there I think

227
00:16:32,540 --> 00:16:33,900
that's a good way

228
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:35,900
for me to

229
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:39,020
sort of conceptualize it

230
00:16:39,020 --> 00:16:41,000
in my mind like to your point

231
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,240
I had it spin up the Phoenix D

232
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,540
server and I was like hey

233
00:16:44,540 --> 00:16:47,320
like we want a degree of privacy

234
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,000
when we're

235
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,220
when we're taking this Bitcoin off the exchange

236
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:56,200
after your extremely profitable hedge fund begins making distributions,

237
00:16:57,620 --> 00:17:01,120
figure out how to create a cashew wallet and connect to a mint.

238
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:02,080
It came back.

239
00:17:02,180 --> 00:17:03,860
It's like, oh, got the wallet.

240
00:17:03,860 --> 00:17:10,220
I see that many bits is a good mint.

241
00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:11,100
I joined that one.

242
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,360
It's ready to go when we need it.

243
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:12,820
It's like, okay.

244
00:17:12,820 --> 00:17:23,240
yeah i am yeah cashew specifically cashew and nostor are like two super easy integrations you

245
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:29,860
can do with these things um that to me are just like major aha moments for open protocols

246
00:17:29,860 --> 00:17:39,480
and open specs um my i mean my my bot was uh he was managing multiple on his own he was just

247
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,340
keeping funds in multiple mints, which I thought was clever.

248
00:17:43,340 --> 00:17:44,600
The Titanic approach.

249
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,540
If one mint goes down, you don't lose all your money.

250
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:53,120
But you can easily see how, you know, it's like who will build the roads?

251
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,480
The bots will build the roads.

252
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,220
It's kind of crazy.

253
00:17:57,660 --> 00:18:02,160
We've always talked about, you know, the webs of trust, for instance, with Noster.

254
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,920
It's like how are people going to manage webs of trust?

255
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,740
The robots will just manage the webs of trust.

256
00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:13,060
So now we need the tools so the robots can interact with those webs of trust easier, right?

257
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:14,420
They should be robot specific.

258
00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:17,960
Most end users will probably never touch the webs of trust themselves.

259
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,260
They'll never trust the mint auditors themselves.

260
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,740
Running Fedimans, right?

261
00:18:26,060 --> 00:18:29,540
Another perfect example, Lightning nodes, UTXO management.

262
00:18:29,540 --> 00:18:45,940
What about the trade-off that we've always talked about with coin control and trying to explain coin control to end users where you have these two warring trade-offs?

263
00:18:46,020 --> 00:18:47,740
You have cost versus privacy.

264
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:53,320
And what does the end user want when they're actually picking their UTXOs?

265
00:18:54,340 --> 00:18:57,860
Well, the bot can figure that out per your preferences.

266
00:18:57,860 --> 00:18:59,180
Do you want to save money?

267
00:18:59,540 --> 00:19:00,300
Do you want privacy?

268
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,280
Do you want to find a nice, happy middle ground?

269
00:19:03,540 --> 00:19:08,780
Should it check the chain to see what kind of UTXO history the UTXOs have before it adds it to a payment?

270
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:11,640
Things get really, really interesting.

271
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:19,980
But then on the opposite side, there's chain analysis tools that you just load an API into your bot.

272
00:19:20,060 --> 00:19:23,980
And you're like, okay, I want to put Marty Bent in jail.

273
00:19:24,460 --> 00:19:42,622
Why don you comb through his entire financial history and let me know in just like plain English let me know what the hell going on here So it wild times in all regards But I think net it makes me much more hopeful and optimistic on the future

274
00:19:43,802 --> 00:19:43,942
Same.

275
00:19:44,662 --> 00:19:44,942
Same.

276
00:19:46,382 --> 00:19:49,982
Before we drift too far into this conversation, let's get to Clark's dashboard.

277
00:19:50,702 --> 00:19:53,042
Current price of Bitcoin, $65,430.

278
00:19:53,322 --> 00:19:56,042
One cup box is going to get you $1,529.

279
00:19:56,042 --> 00:20:01,142
We're at a 1.31 trillion Cuckbuck market cap.

280
00:20:01,242 --> 00:20:07,962
We are 48.2% below the previous all-time high of 126,160 Cuckbucks.

281
00:20:08,062 --> 00:20:11,562
We are at block height 936,256.

282
00:20:11,602 --> 00:20:13,262
We got a 256 of the block height here.

283
00:20:13,422 --> 00:20:13,722
Nice.

284
00:20:14,642 --> 00:20:21,402
We had the second or the largest difficulty adjustment since China Mining Man last week,

285
00:20:21,402 --> 00:20:22,382
right after we recorded.

286
00:20:22,382 --> 00:20:25,842
It was a negative 11.2% adjustment.

287
00:20:26,042 --> 00:20:35,742
Um, currently we're 1,184 blocks away from the next difficulty adjustment estimated to be on February 20th, 2026.

288
00:20:36,102 --> 00:20:43,642
So eight days from now, next Friday, uh, it's looking like an upwards adjustment of, uh, 11.4% right now.

289
00:20:44,022 --> 00:20:53,062
Uh, difficulty adjustment as we said it would after the winter storm and, um, hash rate is recovering.

290
00:20:53,062 --> 00:21:00,382
going to mempool.space they have 11,520 or excuse me 66 transactions in their mempool

291
00:21:00,382 --> 00:21:07,582
and if you look at the hash rate chart looks like hash rate is establishing a

292
00:21:07,582 --> 00:21:12,642
B like recovery as of right now fell to

293
00:21:12,642 --> 00:21:17,542
884 exahash currently at 945.

294
00:21:18,122 --> 00:21:25,102
So up 60 exahash in the last week.

295
00:21:27,342 --> 00:21:28,442
Mining is recovering.

296
00:21:30,822 --> 00:21:33,842
There's a lot of stuff you don't have the list that I thought we were going to talk about.

297
00:21:39,922 --> 00:21:40,802
Matt, you're muted.

298
00:21:41,582 --> 00:21:42,002
Muted.

299
00:21:42,642 --> 00:21:46,262
So let's talk about, I mean, case in point, I was saying I'm tired.

300
00:21:46,962 --> 00:21:50,342
So I failed a little bit on the list this time.

301
00:21:50,742 --> 00:21:51,182
I just been.

302
00:21:51,842 --> 00:21:52,502
Sigbash2.

303
00:21:53,162 --> 00:21:56,602
I've been swamped on work and I retweeted that.

304
00:21:57,282 --> 00:21:58,642
I re-noster posted it.

305
00:21:59,602 --> 00:22:00,382
That's awesome.

306
00:22:00,662 --> 00:22:01,602
So what's the changes?

307
00:22:01,602 --> 00:22:11,342
I had Arbed out on dispatch for Sigbashv1 and you just had them on for Sigbashv2 on TFTC.

308
00:22:11,562 --> 00:22:12,342
What's the changes?

309
00:22:12,642 --> 00:22:21,842
there's a zero knowledge proof component um that's cool that makes it uh impossible for

310
00:22:21,842 --> 00:22:29,122
the sigbash blind signer to know anything about the transactions and then on top of that um

311
00:22:29,122 --> 00:22:36,062
i think a wasm protocol on top of it to make it very easy to create certain conditional

312
00:22:36,062 --> 00:22:45,082
transactions many different forms well you know i um when i first had him on it was like one of

313
00:22:45,082 --> 00:22:50,722
these things that like first of all you know our dad huge friend of the both of ours uh a friend of

314
00:22:50,722 --> 00:23:02,902
the pod um but like the concept was just as a big corner uh i love the concept right a a

315
00:23:02,902 --> 00:23:11,322
no KYC, no touchpoint co-signer for collaborative Bitcoin transactions for multi-six.

316
00:23:12,042 --> 00:23:16,002
And it's very configurable. You can do a bunch of different things with them. You can use them

317
00:23:16,002 --> 00:23:20,562
for inheritance. You can use them for business management tasks, stuff like that. The biggest

318
00:23:20,562 --> 00:23:24,402
thing I couldn't wrap my head around was like, how many users are actually technical enough

319
00:23:24,402 --> 00:23:30,602
and realize the need enough to actually use something like this? Well, to our earlier

320
00:23:30,602 --> 00:23:31,202
conversation.

321
00:23:32,522 --> 00:23:34,582
I think bots could use this thing

322
00:23:34,582 --> 00:23:35,222
all the time.

323
00:23:36,342 --> 00:23:38,062
It's actually great for the robots.

324
00:23:39,402 --> 00:23:39,522
Yeah.

325
00:23:40,242 --> 00:23:41,942
So Logan Paul has a tweet. This is from Arbdout.

326
00:23:42,062 --> 00:23:43,902
Earlier this week, Sigbash V2

327
00:23:43,902 --> 00:23:46,362
is live. He switched to a new approach that I'm calling

328
00:23:46,362 --> 00:23:48,122
oblivious signing using

329
00:23:48,122 --> 00:23:49,542
Musig2 WebAssembly.

330
00:23:50,122 --> 00:23:52,562
That was awesome. And Zero Knowledge Proofs.

331
00:23:52,662 --> 00:23:54,382
Our signer never sees your signing key

332
00:23:54,382 --> 00:23:56,522
or the transactions you ask

333
00:23:56,522 --> 00:23:58,482
us to sign. If you go,

334
00:23:58,842 --> 00:24:00,522
we're not going to do it now, but if you get on that

335
00:24:00,522 --> 00:24:06,082
tweet check the responses and the quote tweets a lot of the hardcore bitcoin developers are very

336
00:24:06,082 --> 00:24:12,922
excited about this and i think it's a great example of pushing what is currently possible

337
00:24:12,922 --> 00:24:20,662
in the design landscape of bitcoin at a technical level to its limits before we begin talking about

338
00:24:20,662 --> 00:24:29,402
softworks and so for those um who are wondering what the type of use cases you get out of what a

339
00:24:29,402 --> 00:24:33,402
what softworks are being discussed to enable those use cases,

340
00:24:33,542 --> 00:24:34,982
I think covenants is the biggest one.

341
00:24:35,202 --> 00:24:38,842
So what Sigbash V2 gives you out of the box

342
00:24:38,842 --> 00:24:41,302
is covenant-like capabilities.

343
00:24:41,422 --> 00:24:43,502
You basically do covenants,

344
00:24:43,622 --> 00:24:46,902
but there's a trade-off is that you're trusting the server.

345
00:24:48,002 --> 00:24:49,442
Yeah, I mean, it's a major trade-off.

346
00:24:49,522 --> 00:24:50,842
You have a centralized server

347
00:24:50,842 --> 00:24:54,642
that you're not trusting with your privacy,

348
00:24:54,642 --> 00:24:58,202
but you're trusting with uptime and security.

349
00:24:59,402 --> 00:25:05,182
but like if if and like we talked about this on the original dispatch

350
00:25:05,182 --> 00:25:14,922
because i had this issue with final message which some freaks might remember it's a project i had a

351
00:25:14,922 --> 00:25:22,642
long time ago but final message was similar in that it just solved a very simple problem

352
00:25:22,642 --> 00:25:28,002
for people and they could use it in a variety of different ways but it solved it in a centralized

353
00:25:28,002 --> 00:25:34,962
way, which was you could take a final message. And if you died or something happened to you,

354
00:25:35,042 --> 00:25:38,722
it was a centralized dead man switch. It would send an encrypted message to whoever you want

355
00:25:38,722 --> 00:25:43,982
your recipient to be. Now, the problem I had with that is, and the problem you'll see with a lot of

356
00:25:43,982 --> 00:25:50,802
these things, is there wasn't that much product market fit for it because it required a user to

357
00:25:50,802 --> 00:25:57,622
be more technical, right? It tried to solve a lot of things that a full stack company like

358
00:25:57,622 --> 00:26:02,222
a Casa or Unchained solves for people with collaborative custody, but without the guard

359
00:26:02,222 --> 00:26:06,642
rails or the handholding. And the advantage you got out of there is you got more freedom,

360
00:26:06,642 --> 00:26:13,542
but most people would rather have the handholding and the guardrails. So the total amount of users

361
00:26:13,542 --> 00:26:19,922
that it's desirable to was quite small. And so what ended up happening and their main trust,

362
00:26:19,922 --> 00:26:24,382
because the messages were encrypted they didn't have to trust me with the contents of the message

363
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:28,462
they had to trust that when push came to shove that i actually sent the fucking thing

364
00:26:28,462 --> 00:26:35,782
um and so what ended up happening was we had like a hundred users and it wasn't really making that

365
00:26:35,782 --> 00:26:41,482
much revenue and we're like four or five years down the line and you just got to still keep the

366
00:26:41,482 --> 00:26:46,382
servers running you know you got to like make sure the fucking thing is running and it you're like oh

367
00:26:46,382 --> 00:26:50,262
yeah, I'll run this thing forever. You start hitting year six, year seven, year eight,

368
00:26:50,882 --> 00:26:58,282
like it gets exhausting to keep it up for a few amount of users. And so I talked to him about this.

369
00:26:58,362 --> 00:27:03,162
I was like, if you're doing this thing and we talked about it, he's down for it. But like,

370
00:27:03,162 --> 00:27:07,102
we talked about it a year ago. It was like, if you're doing this thing, you have to be ready to

371
00:27:07,102 --> 00:27:12,962
run this thing for a decade. That's what people are expecting and not get burnt out over it.

372
00:27:12,962 --> 00:27:21,242
but I do think the bots increase the addressable market once again,

373
00:27:21,462 --> 00:27:28,662
because the cool part about a tool like Sigbash is the amount of configurability and optionality you have.

374
00:27:29,842 --> 00:27:32,342
But that's where humans fail a lot of times.

375
00:27:32,662 --> 00:27:35,562
They get decision paralysis. They have too many options.

376
00:27:36,402 --> 00:27:37,842
But bots don't have that issue.

377
00:27:37,942 --> 00:27:42,782
You tell a bot, I want you to use Sigbash to spin up some kind of scenario

378
00:27:42,782 --> 00:27:51,342
for me um then the bot can advise and help i think it's a pretty big deal yeah and the other thing i

379
00:27:51,342 --> 00:27:57,742
don't know if he was blowing smoke up my ass but we were as we were talking through the server

380
00:27:57,742 --> 00:28:05,742
setup for sig bash i was like could you just basically copy the logic of the server

381
00:28:05,742 --> 00:28:09,902
again since it's using music and zero knowledge proofs

382
00:28:09,902 --> 00:28:14,322
and web assembly like all you need is just like to copy

383
00:28:14,322 --> 00:28:17,702
the logic and could you like store it on

384
00:28:17,702 --> 00:28:20,442
NOSTA relays and just distribute

385
00:28:20,442 --> 00:28:25,042
you need to have the key material also right to be able to actually sign

386
00:28:25,042 --> 00:28:31,442
again I'm not a technical expert but the way I understand

387
00:28:31,442 --> 00:28:35,322
how he's leveraging zero knowledge proofs

388
00:28:35,742 --> 00:28:44,922
like you can transfer that um outside of the the individual server right you just know somebody

389
00:28:44,922 --> 00:28:50,642
brings you a proof and it's like okay i recognize this is about you still need the signing server up

390
00:28:50,642 --> 00:28:58,042
though yeah the signing server is the big that actually is like processing the request and

391
00:28:58,042 --> 00:29:04,182
that's the big like just to give you an example here of so how we handled it uh with final message

392
00:29:04,182 --> 00:29:08,182
is we stopped new signups

393
00:29:08,182 --> 00:29:10,182
like five years ago.

394
00:29:11,322 --> 00:29:13,302
And I still got like three users

395
00:29:13,302 --> 00:29:14,542
on that fucking thing

396
00:29:14,542 --> 00:29:15,622
because of renewals.

397
00:29:15,782 --> 00:29:17,262
Like I didn't want to kick them off.

398
00:29:17,622 --> 00:29:19,022
And I'm just waiting for them

399
00:29:19,022 --> 00:29:20,202
to stop using the product.

400
00:29:20,922 --> 00:29:22,682
Like no new users are signing up.

401
00:29:22,742 --> 00:29:23,422
The servers are running

402
00:29:23,422 --> 00:29:24,802
just for three fucking people.

403
00:29:25,722 --> 00:29:27,022
Well, it's a dead man switch thing too.

404
00:29:27,082 --> 00:29:28,322
So they need liveliness too.

405
00:29:28,402 --> 00:29:29,722
So they're still like sending the email

406
00:29:29,722 --> 00:29:30,122
or whatever.

407
00:29:30,382 --> 00:29:30,642
Yeah.

408
00:29:31,242 --> 00:29:32,842
It's still other switches enabled.

409
00:29:32,842 --> 00:29:44,762
um so and it's you know it was it was a non-signup so i don't have any um i have no contact info

410
00:29:44,762 --> 00:29:51,362
so if you're listening and you're one of the three users like maybe check out this you're welcome

411
00:29:51,362 --> 00:30:00,582
yeah they continue to pay their fees like it's not like i'm like losing it's it's not a losing

412
00:30:00,582 --> 00:30:05,782
money thing it's actually relatively cheap to to run i'm sure it's relatively cheap for him to run

413
00:30:05,782 --> 00:30:12,022
the sig bash server it's a mental burden thing it's like particularly for these use cases presumably

414
00:30:12,022 --> 00:30:17,382
people are going to be using it for inheritance and stuff and he is a person that has high ethics

415
00:30:17,382 --> 00:30:22,922
and high integrity like it will constantly be on the back of his mind like this thing needs to work

416
00:30:22,922 --> 00:30:29,682
otherwise someone's going to die and their kids aren't going to get bitcoin yeah well it's a huge

417
00:30:29,682 --> 00:30:31,762
responsibility. How do you get more

418
00:30:31,762 --> 00:30:33,682
certain than that? Beloved Arbed

419
00:30:33,682 --> 00:30:35,642
Out. We think he's a man of

420
00:30:35,642 --> 00:30:37,822
the highest integrity.

421
00:30:38,302 --> 00:30:39,762
I would be very comfortable to

422
00:30:39,762 --> 00:30:41,742
say that. It would be

423
00:30:41,742 --> 00:30:43,922
ideal if somebody like a block or something

424
00:30:43,922 --> 00:30:44,742
ran this.

425
00:30:45,642 --> 00:30:47,302
No, it just needs

426
00:30:47,302 --> 00:30:51,722
to have a sustainable, scalable

427
00:30:51,722 --> 00:30:52,922
business model, I think.

428
00:30:53,602 --> 00:30:55,182
If this thing is pushing out

429
00:30:55,182 --> 00:30:57,842
a million dollars worth of revenue a year,

430
00:30:57,842 --> 00:31:03,122
like if he's not maintaining it he'll hire people to maintain it and can afford to maintain it

431
00:31:03,122 --> 00:31:08,342
you know but if it if it gets stuck in hobby project territory then he's going to have 50

432
00:31:08,342 --> 00:31:13,622
users in 10 years he's going to want to fucking kill himself so that's going to happen that's just

433
00:31:13,622 --> 00:31:23,042
how it works well go check it out if you haven't seen it yeah it's pretty be give him give him

434
00:31:23,042 --> 00:31:32,742
revenue. Go use it. What is it? Sigbash. What is it? Sigbash.com? Yeah. Yeah. Sigbash.com.

435
00:31:33,102 --> 00:31:36,762
You're ready to keep your Bitcoin and your privacy. Your rules, our verification,

436
00:31:36,942 --> 00:31:42,562
nobody's business, but yours. It's really awesome. Cool tool. Something I'll probably use.

437
00:31:43,562 --> 00:31:45,222
Yeah. And huge shout out to Arbed Out.

438
00:31:47,542 --> 00:31:53,022
Your first item on the list. I think it may be fake news, but we can talk about it anyway.

439
00:31:53,042 --> 00:32:01,242
Is it really fake news? Because I just thought it just captured the vibes of the current status quo so well.

440
00:32:01,662 --> 00:32:03,642
It's got a community note.

441
00:32:04,962 --> 00:32:07,982
Well, I'm glad it's fake news.

442
00:32:08,222 --> 00:32:11,502
Before we get there, shout out Soulminer Zaptos, 21,000 sets.

443
00:32:11,742 --> 00:32:14,202
Best soap in the business, go to Soulminer.com. Thank you, sir.

444
00:32:14,902 --> 00:32:20,962
Yeah, there was reports that Klarna was doing buy now, pay later for OnlyFans.

445
00:32:20,962 --> 00:32:22,962
And I just felt like it was a great way to start the show.

446
00:32:23,042 --> 00:32:25,582
but I'm glad it's not real.

447
00:32:26,722 --> 00:32:31,122
You should not pay random women on the internet

448
00:32:31,122 --> 00:32:34,622
to see nude pictures of them and flirt with them

449
00:32:34,622 --> 00:32:35,782
and think that they're your girlfriend.

450
00:32:36,802 --> 00:32:39,582
But you definitely shouldn't put it on a payment plan.

451
00:32:43,662 --> 00:32:45,902
Stop fapping, freaks. Stop fapping.

452
00:32:47,222 --> 00:32:50,882
Feeding the degeneracy, the nihilism of our age.

453
00:32:50,882 --> 00:32:55,402
if you're listening and you have an only fans account i just want you to know that i'm

454
00:32:55,402 --> 00:33:03,142
i'm disappointed in you on both sides or both sides yeah both sides what about if

455
00:33:03,142 --> 00:33:10,402
you are a 19 year old female and you're making six seven million dollars a year and you never

456
00:33:10,402 --> 00:33:19,302
actually take your clothes off still you're feeding that beast i respect that also shout

457
00:33:19,302 --> 00:33:25,082
out that those those people there's there's one woman specifically that is doing that i forget her

458
00:33:25,082 --> 00:33:33,422
name a sophie rain she's never never does any nude just just think about this for a second marty okay

459
00:33:33,422 --> 00:33:45,642
young young good-looking women who don't have a hopeful path have historically it's an it's a

460
00:33:45,642 --> 00:33:50,982
business as old as humanity, sex work, right? Have gone into prostitution. They get pregnant,

461
00:33:51,102 --> 00:33:58,962
they get STDs, they get beat up. They like make like $20 an hour. And this, this, this chick

462
00:33:58,962 --> 00:34:06,022
realized she's at this one point in time where she doesn't have to leave her home, doesn't have

463
00:34:06,022 --> 00:34:09,942
to meet sketchy people, doesn't have to take off her clothes, doesn't have to have sex with people

464
00:34:09,942 --> 00:34:12,402
and make $6 million a year,

465
00:34:12,882 --> 00:34:16,282
just generational wealth right before AI

466
00:34:16,282 --> 00:34:18,882
makes income inequality way worse

467
00:34:18,882 --> 00:34:20,802
and actually destroys this business model

468
00:34:20,802 --> 00:34:22,422
because no one's going to believe anything

469
00:34:22,422 --> 00:34:23,682
that is real on the internet.

470
00:34:24,642 --> 00:34:27,162
You know, it's all the videos that could just be a dude

471
00:34:27,162 --> 00:34:28,442
that's pretending to be a woman.

472
00:34:29,242 --> 00:34:31,342
And I found this perfect point in time

473
00:34:31,342 --> 00:34:36,202
to just, you know, quickly get 10 million, 15, $20 million.

474
00:34:36,622 --> 00:34:39,582
And it's not really a scam.

475
00:34:39,942 --> 00:34:46,402
It's not like an ICO or something where they're like, oh, this is the future Bitcoin or this is going to power Wi-Fi or something.

476
00:34:46,722 --> 00:34:48,742
It's pretty obvious what she's doing.

477
00:34:48,882 --> 00:34:50,702
She's like, give me money because I'm hot.

478
00:34:51,242 --> 00:34:54,922
And you're a consenting adult in this relationship of giving me money.

479
00:34:55,602 --> 00:34:58,302
There's a lot more unethical ways to make money.

480
00:34:59,722 --> 00:35:00,822
I kind of respect that hustle.

481
00:35:01,322 --> 00:35:02,202
She should put it in Bitcoin.

482
00:35:03,042 --> 00:35:04,742
I see your point, but it's soul sucking.

483
00:35:05,122 --> 00:35:08,362
She's always going to be the girl who made millions of dollars.

484
00:35:08,362 --> 00:35:09,022
Only fans.

485
00:35:09,022 --> 00:35:14,982
how's she going to tell her kids that she's going to tell her kids look kids i didn't take off my

486
00:35:14,982 --> 00:35:23,162
clothes and i took advantage of a bunch of horny men and now your family has fucking thousands of

487
00:35:23,162 --> 00:35:30,762
bitcoin you're welcome at the very least i hope i have no usable skills and i just happened to be

488
00:35:30,762 --> 00:35:36,922
born attractive and took advantage of this exact moment for my family i'd be like shout out you

489
00:35:36,922 --> 00:35:37,662
That's awesome.

490
00:35:38,542 --> 00:35:41,222
Sophie, if you're out there and you're listening, just retire.

491
00:35:41,562 --> 00:35:42,582
Adopt the fire mindset.

492
00:35:43,142 --> 00:35:43,682
It's time.

493
00:35:44,602 --> 00:35:46,442
Yeah, your husband should come home from work.

494
00:35:46,522 --> 00:35:48,022
You're smoking weed, playing Call of Duty.

495
00:35:49,162 --> 00:35:52,222
To be clear, this is not the majority, right?

496
00:35:52,282 --> 00:36:04,002
This is how the really predatory aspect of it is young girls see the ones who are making $6 million, $8 million, never take their clothes off.

497
00:36:04,002 --> 00:36:09,102
and they're making no money and taking their clothes off

498
00:36:09,102 --> 00:36:11,142
and getting taken advantage of and all this other stuff.

499
00:36:11,222 --> 00:36:12,222
That's the fucked up part.

500
00:36:14,022 --> 00:36:18,682
So I do think the entire model is predatory,

501
00:36:18,882 --> 00:36:22,842
but it's more I'm hating the game than the player is my point.

502
00:36:24,322 --> 00:36:24,842
Yeah.

503
00:36:30,062 --> 00:36:32,062
It's worse than a Pareto distribution.

504
00:36:32,402 --> 00:36:33,222
I think it's like the top.

505
00:36:33,222 --> 00:36:35,922
1% of

506
00:36:35,922 --> 00:36:37,942
those traders

507
00:36:37,942 --> 00:36:39,902
quote unquote traders, those whores

508
00:36:39,902 --> 00:36:40,382
can

509
00:36:40,382 --> 00:36:42,982
take

510
00:36:42,982 --> 00:36:45,802
something like 95% of the income

511
00:36:45,802 --> 00:36:49,842
yeah it's like the top 10 of them or something

512
00:36:49,842 --> 00:36:50,662
yeah

513
00:36:50,662 --> 00:36:53,202
and then everyone else is not making any money

514
00:36:53,202 --> 00:36:55,942
if you're out there, you're an OnlyFans subscriber

515
00:36:55,942 --> 00:36:57,562
I'm disappointed, if you're out there

516
00:36:57,562 --> 00:36:59,082
and it does get implemented

517
00:36:59,082 --> 00:37:00,882
and you're an OnlyFans subscriber

518
00:37:00,882 --> 00:37:03,382
If you get on a payment plan, I'm disgusted.

519
00:37:05,062 --> 00:37:06,342
I'm glad it was fake news.

520
00:37:06,462 --> 00:37:08,882
I see Silent.Link's app does 42,000 sats.

521
00:37:09,182 --> 00:37:09,722
Thank you, sir.

522
00:37:09,942 --> 00:37:10,662
Great service.

523
00:37:12,222 --> 00:37:13,262
eSIMS for your phone.

524
00:37:13,962 --> 00:37:14,602
Pay with Bitcoin.

525
00:37:14,962 --> 00:37:15,702
Silent.Link.

526
00:37:16,862 --> 00:37:17,742
I didn't catch this one.

527
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:20,462
Israelis arrested over alleged insider polypore.

528
00:37:20,462 --> 00:37:21,322
He came out this morning.

529
00:37:22,182 --> 00:37:25,802
On IDF military secrets.

530
00:37:26,202 --> 00:37:30,802
Yeah, the buy now, pay later only fans was a good start off point.

531
00:37:30,882 --> 00:37:37,162
felt like for you. And then this was like, I don't know, this is going to, this was like right

532
00:37:37,162 --> 00:37:42,342
up my alley. This is going to happen more and more. As we've talked about many times on the show,

533
00:37:43,782 --> 00:37:50,562
prediction markets, the whole point is to incentivize leaking of non-public information

534
00:37:50,562 --> 00:37:56,082
so that people have a more accurate view of truth. I'm trying to right now get my robot to

535
00:37:56,082 --> 00:38:01,882
understand what's going on in the world better and one of the key metrics i'm using is he's tracking

536
00:38:01,882 --> 00:38:09,102
uh polymarket markets because it doesn't require an api it's all on polygon which is a shit i think

537
00:38:09,102 --> 00:38:14,482
a layer two on ethereum but the cool part is i i work it as a free api too you could use

538
00:38:14,482 --> 00:38:19,922
yeah but i think the cool part is that the whole thing is unchained so you don't have to go through

539
00:38:19,922 --> 00:38:25,462
the company's api um the hard part is you have to deal with like shit coins and stuff but you don't

540
00:38:25,462 --> 00:38:29,262
to deal with it if the bot deals with it. So the bot doesn't even have to have an account. He just

541
00:38:29,262 --> 00:38:37,022
needs a polygon wallet and he can view everything and trade on it. But anyway, so we will see,

542
00:38:37,462 --> 00:38:42,402
and we've joked around like what, like a guy's on a helicopter on the way into Venezuela and he's

543
00:38:42,402 --> 00:38:46,362
got his phone out trading or whatever. And this is like the first real world example of it.

544
00:38:49,602 --> 00:38:50,562
You're on mute now.

545
00:38:50,562 --> 00:38:54,562
Sorry, my boys are home.

546
00:38:54,562 --> 00:39:00,562
It's parent-teacher conference week, so they're off from school today and tomorrow.

547
00:39:00,562 --> 00:39:11,844
Prosecutors have alleged the Army Reservists accessed classified information about Israel planned attack on Iran in June 2025 and then shared it with the civilian to place multiple polymarket bets

548
00:39:12,604 --> 00:39:19,644
Most identifying details about the case of defendants remain classified, but prosecutors claim the pair are not senior officials in any military or government body.

549
00:39:20,544 --> 00:39:27,364
One of the defendants' attorneys, however, referred to their client as a highly regarded individual who has made a significant contribution to Israel's security.

550
00:39:27,364 --> 00:39:31,784
The attorney claims the charges are improper and constitutes selective enforcement.

551
00:39:33,684 --> 00:39:53,504
I wonder there was – and by the way, these prediction markets are completely useless if people can't use them anonymously because otherwise you won't get this kind of – you won't get the accurate ahead of time markets because you won't have insiders actually leak the information.

552
00:39:53,504 --> 00:40:01,644
But that doesn't mean that there's not a bunch of ways to try and catch insiders if you're trying to prevent that information from leaking.

553
00:40:02,044 --> 00:40:03,864
It's just going to take new techniques.

554
00:40:04,044 --> 00:40:13,084
Now, if you remember a few weeks ago, there was a market on Pali market that was U.S.-Israel strike Iran.

555
00:40:14,304 --> 00:40:20,564
And an account that had predicted correctly other Israeli strikes bet on it.

556
00:40:20,564 --> 00:40:23,964
and it popped up to like 85%, 90% and then didn't happen.

557
00:40:24,604 --> 00:40:26,584
Everyone on socials were like,

558
00:40:26,664 --> 00:40:28,644
oh, the war is about to start, blah, blah, blah,

559
00:40:28,684 --> 00:40:29,464
and it didn't happen.

560
00:40:30,204 --> 00:40:31,764
And a lot of speculation was,

561
00:40:31,944 --> 00:40:37,104
oh, it was the Israelis trying to spook the Iranians

562
00:40:37,104 --> 00:40:39,344
because the Iranians went into a full defensive position

563
00:40:39,344 --> 00:40:40,544
based on the poly market.

564
00:40:40,904 --> 00:40:42,144
They were like, we're about to get attacked.

565
00:40:42,544 --> 00:40:43,924
This account's been right in the past.

566
00:40:44,444 --> 00:40:47,644
I wouldn't be surprised if we find out,

567
00:40:47,664 --> 00:40:49,004
or maybe we just never find out,

568
00:40:49,004 --> 00:40:55,824
because why I tell people that the IDF planted fake information for these two dudes

569
00:40:55,824 --> 00:40:58,904
and then waited till they made the trade.

570
00:40:59,544 --> 00:41:02,884
And so that trade that they made was the implication was like,

571
00:41:02,944 --> 00:41:04,824
okay, we caught the people that had the information.

572
00:41:04,824 --> 00:41:07,224
So they put fake information in their files or whatever,

573
00:41:07,484 --> 00:41:08,584
and then they got traded on.

574
00:41:10,304 --> 00:41:12,304
Well, that's certainly a possibility.

575
00:41:13,204 --> 00:41:17,004
And probably most likely considering what I just read on Yahoo Finance.

576
00:41:17,004 --> 00:41:29,164
But another thing, as you're explaining that, like maybe governments, they just begin betting in these ways to incite defensive reactions because maybe it's cheaper to get intel that way.

577
00:41:30,084 --> 00:41:31,804
I mean, but that was our original theory, right?

578
00:41:31,824 --> 00:41:33,184
That's definitely going to happen as well.

579
00:41:33,484 --> 00:41:35,124
That's what we were saying when it happened.

580
00:41:36,464 --> 00:41:40,304
But now with this coming out to light, this could very much be the reason.

581
00:41:40,304 --> 00:41:49,064
By the way, the reason you were reading that on just to lament the death of the internet and how we need to fix so many things.

582
00:41:49,484 --> 00:41:51,944
I saw this story break on Wall Street Journal.

583
00:41:53,184 --> 00:41:54,944
Went to Wall Street Journal, paywall.

584
00:41:55,524 --> 00:41:57,404
Went to archive.is.

585
00:41:57,504 --> 00:42:01,104
It seems like it's getting DDoS probably by a bunch of bots trying to archive things.

586
00:42:01,264 --> 00:42:02,864
Couldn't get it on archive.is.

587
00:42:03,784 --> 00:42:08,184
Searched the headline on Google to see if there was a non-paywalled site that had it.

588
00:42:08,184 --> 00:42:20,384
I found one that was the block, the Bitcoin news site, just filled with ads and pop-ups, just a really disappointing experience.

589
00:42:22,044 --> 00:42:33,364
And then this article is actually re-syndicated on Yahoo Finance from Decrypt, which is another shitcoin journalist, and it's just clean cut.

590
00:42:33,704 --> 00:42:36,284
But it's retarded. It's just like, come on, guys.

591
00:42:38,184 --> 00:42:40,704
There's like the paywallification and the ads.

592
00:42:40,944 --> 00:42:43,944
Yeah, and the bots should pay the SATs paywall and then send me my update.

593
00:42:44,784 --> 00:42:44,964
Yeah.

594
00:42:45,584 --> 00:42:45,844
Yeah.

595
00:42:46,684 --> 00:42:48,284
I built it six years ago.

596
00:42:48,544 --> 00:42:49,064
You can go find it.

597
00:42:49,084 --> 00:42:51,024
It's open source, BTC Pay Server, Ghost.

598
00:42:51,384 --> 00:42:52,424
You can figure out the logic there.

599
00:42:53,344 --> 00:42:54,264
The bots will do it.

600
00:42:55,104 --> 00:42:56,404
The bots will do it.

601
00:43:01,504 --> 00:43:06,204
And we get our Human Rights Foundation Financial Freedom Report story of the week out of Kenya.

602
00:43:06,204 --> 00:43:08,644
Central Bank warns banknote

603
00:43:08,644 --> 00:43:09,864
book

604
00:43:09,864 --> 00:43:11,364
bouquets

605
00:43:11,364 --> 00:43:13,884
like flowers

606
00:43:13,884 --> 00:43:16,684
I know, I know, I'm sick, I'm sick freaks

607
00:43:16,684 --> 00:43:18,144
please bear with me

608
00:43:18,144 --> 00:43:20,644
Central Bank warns banknote bouquets could land you in jail

609
00:43:20,644 --> 00:43:21,864
Kenya's Central Bank warned

610
00:43:21,864 --> 00:43:24,204
Kenyan's in the lead up to Valentine's Day

611
00:43:24,204 --> 00:43:26,464
that making bouquets out of colorful banknotes

612
00:43:26,464 --> 00:43:28,564
could be punished with a seven year jail term

613
00:43:28,564 --> 00:43:30,504
officials argue the banknotes

614
00:43:30,504 --> 00:43:32,344
used in bouquets are often folded

615
00:43:32,344 --> 00:43:34,444
rolled, glued, stapled, pinned

616
00:43:34,444 --> 00:43:35,704
or otherwise damaged

617
00:43:35,704 --> 00:43:41,504
which they say compromises the integrity, defaces the national currency, and increases the cost of replacing damage notes.

618
00:43:42,484 --> 00:43:47,244
For more stories like this, make sure you go to financialfreedomreport.org.

619
00:43:48,004 --> 00:43:52,764
Yeah, I mean most of the stories aren't like this, which is why I chose it.

620
00:43:53,244 --> 00:43:55,604
I just thought it was just a good example of clown world.

621
00:43:55,604 --> 00:44:05,644
I mean clearly the reason they're doing this punishment is because they don't want to be made fun of on social media for their shitty fucking currency.

622
00:44:05,704 --> 00:44:07,004
and they know it's viral.

623
00:44:08,824 --> 00:44:11,164
But it just shows how desperate they are

624
00:44:11,164 --> 00:44:14,364
that the way they're trying to stop that

625
00:44:14,364 --> 00:44:16,424
is with a seven-year sentence, which is insane.

626
00:44:17,424 --> 00:44:17,864
Yeah.

627
00:44:21,384 --> 00:44:23,164
Seeing it in the YouTube chat,

628
00:44:23,224 --> 00:44:24,744
who's better at golf, Odell or Bent?

629
00:44:24,864 --> 00:44:26,164
I reckon Odell, just a feeling.

630
00:44:26,304 --> 00:44:27,424
Your feeling is right, sir.

631
00:44:28,184 --> 00:44:29,264
We've played together before.

632
00:44:29,464 --> 00:44:30,064
You smoked me.

633
00:44:32,444 --> 00:44:33,544
Marty's getting better, though.

634
00:44:34,284 --> 00:44:34,964
Getting better, though.

635
00:44:35,704 --> 00:44:40,384
We, me and Marty, we, it was very early in our friendship.

636
00:44:40,564 --> 00:44:43,304
This now is seven years ago, 2019.

637
00:44:44,924 --> 00:44:48,364
We were just getting to know Rod, my co-founder of Bitcoin Park,

638
00:44:48,444 --> 00:44:50,344
and he was working at Bitcoin Magazine at the time.

639
00:44:50,444 --> 00:44:51,684
And we went in San Francisco.

640
00:44:51,684 --> 00:44:56,524
He belongs to like this really hoity-toity club as a out-of-state member.

641
00:44:56,684 --> 00:44:58,484
So he has a discount to be clear.

642
00:45:00,104 --> 00:45:05,584
But he, so he brings us to this hoity-toity golf club that he rarely plays out.

643
00:45:05,584 --> 00:45:08,304
He plays that maybe once or twice a year and we're his guests.

644
00:45:09,364 --> 00:45:12,884
And, you know, it's got to be a super expensive club.

645
00:45:12,964 --> 00:45:17,004
Anyway, Marty gets up on the first tee and just straight whiffs it.

646
00:45:17,444 --> 00:45:20,444
And then that was our, I think we ended up playing 36 holes,

647
00:45:20,544 --> 00:45:22,004
but that was the beginning of it.

648
00:45:22,004 --> 00:45:23,084
Yeah, we played both courses.

649
00:45:24,464 --> 00:45:27,484
He just dribbled it right in front of the pro shop.

650
00:45:27,644 --> 00:45:30,964
You know, it was just like everyone was looking straight.

651
00:45:31,604 --> 00:45:32,924
Went like 20 yards.

652
00:45:33,764 --> 00:45:34,424
You'll be happy to learn.

653
00:45:34,424 --> 00:45:36,704
I don't whiff my tee shots anymore.

654
00:45:36,944 --> 00:45:38,564
I will slice them every once in a while.

655
00:45:38,924 --> 00:45:40,624
It happens to the best of us.

656
00:45:40,904 --> 00:45:42,144
It happens to the best of us.

657
00:45:42,244 --> 00:45:42,944
It was just wild.

658
00:45:44,364 --> 00:45:47,604
We finished 36 bowls and got back to the clubhouse

659
00:45:47,604 --> 00:45:53,384
and got shilled Libra token by one of the members we were playing with.

660
00:45:54,104 --> 00:45:57,764
I drank so much whiskey, they almost didn't let me on the plane afterwards.

661
00:46:01,144 --> 00:46:03,224
The woman at the ticket counter was like,

662
00:46:03,224 --> 00:46:06,984
i need you to step outside and sober up for a little bit before i give you your ticket

663
00:46:06,984 --> 00:46:12,184
and i argued with her i was like that's not how sober she's like step outside i was like okay

664
00:46:12,184 --> 00:46:17,184
i'll go step outside like he's like that's not gonna i'm not gonna like stand outside for five

665
00:46:17,184 --> 00:46:23,664
minutes it's gonna make me more sober yeah it was a fun trip fun trip first live rabbit hole recap

666
00:46:23,664 --> 00:46:32,284
on the roof of uh yeah the big conference 2019 in a garage we called the top we called the top at

667
00:46:32,284 --> 00:46:34,744
we didn't call the top. We told people to smash

668
00:46:34,744 --> 00:46:36,184
buy the top at $13,000

669
00:46:36,184 --> 00:46:38,924
and then we went down for two and a half years after that.

670
00:46:39,524 --> 00:46:40,304
Yeah, it was a bull trap.

671
00:46:41,004 --> 00:46:42,364
We bull trapped everybody.

672
00:46:44,164 --> 00:46:44,704
Speaking of which...

673
00:46:44,704 --> 00:46:45,844
It was a good purchase.

674
00:46:47,264 --> 00:46:48,844
Speaking of which, everybody do your part

675
00:46:48,844 --> 00:46:49,964
and go smash buy right now.

676
00:46:50,364 --> 00:46:52,864
$65,500.

677
00:46:54,744 --> 00:46:55,644
This is cool.

678
00:46:56,404 --> 00:46:57,004
We got people

679
00:46:57,004 --> 00:46:59,104
vibe coding using Open Claw.

680
00:46:59,604 --> 00:47:01,184
Memple Madness has taken

681
00:47:01,184 --> 00:47:10,104
nostril by storm this week so um a couple things first of all the commoners apt is 21 112 sats

682
00:47:10,104 --> 00:47:18,004
palindrome boost says lfg let's fucking go thank you sir your support okay so mempool madness one

683
00:47:18,004 --> 00:47:25,784
of our buddies created this this is not our project um cool aspects here he has open claw

684
00:47:25,784 --> 00:47:30,844
is open source AI robot running on his Start9.

685
00:47:31,804 --> 00:47:36,364
So Start9 is an open source MIT licensed for-profit project,

686
00:47:36,664 --> 00:47:37,744
but it's fully open source.

687
00:47:37,864 --> 00:47:40,744
You can install Start9 on any type of computer you want to,

688
00:47:40,804 --> 00:47:42,584
or you can buy hardware directly from them.

689
00:47:44,264 --> 00:47:48,404
Their alpha firmware allows you to both host web apps

690
00:47:48,404 --> 00:47:50,044
in ClearNet and run OpenClaw.

691
00:47:50,144 --> 00:47:52,284
So he's running OpenClaw on his Start9 at home.

692
00:47:52,804 --> 00:47:54,924
Then he had to create this game.

693
00:47:55,484 --> 00:47:58,384
This game is being hosted on the start nine as well.

694
00:47:59,104 --> 00:48:02,244
And it's proxying through a VPS to protect his IP address.

695
00:48:02,384 --> 00:48:05,364
And you can just go to it at mempoolmadness.com.

696
00:48:05,544 --> 00:48:09,504
Now, he has his bot running a cash-you wallet using the CocoD skill.

697
00:48:10,044 --> 00:48:11,604
So it's running its own cash-you wallet.

698
00:48:12,144 --> 00:48:16,784
He's running LNBits to track bets and payouts.

699
00:48:18,864 --> 00:48:24,124
And the concept of the game, and then it uses the mempool.space API to track Bitcoin blocks.

700
00:48:24,124 --> 00:48:34,284
And the concept of the game is you're basically placing small bets, a thousand sats a pop on how long it's going to take for the next block to be confirmed from the last one.

701
00:48:34,864 --> 00:48:38,164
So on average, that should be 10 minutes. Obviously, it's not always 10 minutes.

702
00:48:39,004 --> 00:48:44,184
Right now we are in a hash rate increase difficulty period.

703
00:48:44,464 --> 00:48:47,804
So difficulty is expected to go up. So blocks are actually coming in sooner.

704
00:48:48,244 --> 00:48:53,984
The house takes no cut. 70% of the pot goes into the next round.

705
00:48:54,124 --> 00:49:02,204
uh nine percent goes 70 goes to the winner 21 goes to the next round nine percent is going to

706
00:49:02,204 --> 00:49:08,204
open sats which is also being happening with with as an open protocol because he was able to set this

707
00:49:08,204 --> 00:49:13,144
up without my permission because open sats has a lightning address so just automatically send sats

708
00:49:13,144 --> 00:49:20,204
to open sats at vlt.ge which is our lightning address to our node um and then last but not

709
00:49:20,204 --> 00:49:25,124
least a bot has a Noster account and is broadcasting out to the world every time someone wins.

710
00:49:26,124 --> 00:49:33,624
So you have this combination of open source self-hosted software, open protocols, money

711
00:49:33,624 --> 00:49:39,984
and communication identity with Noster and money with Bitcoin and Cashew. And he was able to spin

712
00:49:39,984 --> 00:49:46,304
it up in like six hours, eight hours or something of iterative improvements. He did the first prompt

713
00:49:46,304 --> 00:49:49,104
and then you started doing little improvements to it.

714
00:49:49,484 --> 00:49:51,624
And yeah, it's like a rudimentary proof of concept.

715
00:49:52,064 --> 00:49:55,044
But guys, this is fucking crazy.

716
00:49:55,684 --> 00:49:57,704
This is the early things of something

717
00:49:57,704 --> 00:50:00,864
that's a true game changer here.

718
00:50:02,524 --> 00:50:05,004
I'm playing right now.

719
00:50:05,344 --> 00:50:06,324
I'm going to see if I can win.

720
00:50:08,584 --> 00:50:10,784
By the way, Marty,

721
00:50:12,124 --> 00:50:13,364
to what I was saying earlier

722
00:50:13,364 --> 00:50:16,204
about recursive improvements of AI tools

723
00:50:16,204 --> 00:50:28,024
and stuff uh i like one prompted my bot to play this game yesterday or two days ago and

724
00:50:28,024 --> 00:50:34,884
it made like 200 000 sass it was fucking crushing it was doing great everything was going fantastic

725
00:50:34,884 --> 00:50:45,804
um you know woke up this morning bot has no idea what mempool madness is can't connect to it can't

726
00:50:45,804 --> 00:50:49,764
figure out what's going on. I tried to troubleshoot with him for like a half an hour, 35 minutes. I

727
00:50:49,764 --> 00:50:53,464
just, I told him I'm sick of him. I'm tired of him and I'm not going to try and set it up again.

728
00:50:54,464 --> 00:50:59,284
But at first he was able to, the first time I ever tried, he basically just one-shotted it. I was

729
00:50:59,284 --> 00:51:02,844
like, here's your strategy. It's a game of probability. Figure it out. He just figured

730
00:51:02,844 --> 00:51:07,144
it out. He paid with his own cashew wallet. He was getting payouts from his own cashew wallet.

731
00:51:07,604 --> 00:51:09,684
And now he just can't even fucking figure it out.

732
00:51:09,684 --> 00:51:13,404
Tony, you got to get the QMD.

733
00:51:14,464 --> 00:51:15,884
You got to have it.

734
00:51:16,144 --> 00:51:18,644
Use Opus 4.6 for like one run

735
00:51:18,644 --> 00:51:21,144
and just be like, audit your memory system.

736
00:51:21,144 --> 00:51:23,184
I want you to upload QMD

737
00:51:23,184 --> 00:51:26,844
and it'll do it and make it much better.

738
00:51:27,884 --> 00:51:29,264
Well, I just think it's hilarious.

739
00:51:29,724 --> 00:51:33,424
Is this the blog post you told me

740
00:51:33,424 --> 00:51:34,944
to just copy and paste my dude, right?

741
00:51:37,184 --> 00:51:37,624
Yes.

742
00:51:37,624 --> 00:51:38,604
in one of them.

743
00:51:38,744 --> 00:51:41,144
Yeah, so people are making improvements to their bots

744
00:51:41,144 --> 00:51:44,964
by just blindly copying and pasting blog posts

745
00:51:44,964 --> 00:51:47,844
that effectively teach them new skills and give it new.

746
00:51:48,264 --> 00:51:51,344
This is why there's going to be so many issues,

747
00:51:51,504 --> 00:51:52,504
but it's still fucking cool.

748
00:51:52,764 --> 00:51:53,584
It's really fucking cool.

749
00:51:54,524 --> 00:51:57,444
But to your point, having the bots do all this and connecting,

750
00:51:57,704 --> 00:51:59,924
I mean, this is the biggest boon for this freedom tech.

751
00:51:59,924 --> 00:52:02,624
I mean, we've been talking about it for eight years now,

752
00:52:02,784 --> 00:52:04,944
and I think this technology is the biggest boon for it

753
00:52:04,944 --> 00:52:05,684
that we've ever seen.

754
00:52:06,044 --> 00:52:07,304
It's the last piece.

755
00:52:07,624 --> 00:52:12,904
yeah yeah it it's the glue it's the glue that is going to bring everything together

756
00:52:12,904 --> 00:52:18,144
and makes all this stuff usable to the average person um

757
00:52:18,144 --> 00:52:23,964
get play if you guys haven't played with this yet highly recommend

758
00:52:23,964 --> 00:52:30,624
just playing around with it a little bit takes a bit of uh getting used to but

759
00:52:30,624 --> 00:52:35,484
i do think it is imperative particularly if you're working i've got my cousin my brother

760
00:52:35,484 --> 00:52:39,564
like i've been talking to them for the last two weeks like guys start using this for

761
00:52:39,564 --> 00:52:48,404
for stuff um i've been impressed by what they've been able to yeah an easy way to get your feet wet

762
00:52:48,404 --> 00:52:59,544
is cali has a new project called claw i.ai c-l-a-w-i.ai um ironically it doesn't accept bitcoin

763
00:52:59,544 --> 00:53:07,224
uh that's probably the biggest issue i have with it but you can use a two fiat number two f-i-a-t

764
00:53:07,224 --> 00:53:14,464
dot com prepaid bitcoin card um to pay for it if you want if you don't want to put your credit

765
00:53:14,464 --> 00:53:19,304
card information in but it's just really it's it's it's one of the easier ways to just get set

766
00:53:19,304 --> 00:53:24,744
up and running um and look it's not going to be your final setup like ideally you should be

767
00:53:24,744 --> 00:53:28,904
self-hosting these things then it has other nuances like you don't want to self-host

768
00:53:28,904 --> 00:53:34,484
just blindly on your own network and like have it have access to everything that's on your home

769
00:53:34,484 --> 00:53:41,184
wi-fi um so it's just a good it's it's an easy way to get started play with it don't give it anything

770
00:53:41,184 --> 00:53:49,824
too uh intimate you know like don't give it actual like credentials to your main email account

771
00:53:49,824 --> 00:53:55,644
or something like that be very deliberate about what information you give it but this is one of

772
00:53:55,644 --> 00:53:59,984
those things that like the only way you'll get comfortable with it and you'll see what the

773
00:53:59,984 --> 00:54:05,604
capabilities are is if you play with you have to play with it you can't listen to podcasts about it

774
00:54:05,604 --> 00:54:11,184
you can't watch videos about it you have to actually use the thing into our earlier conversation

775
00:54:11,184 --> 00:54:22,564
like the first step of the employment dynamic switching and the the the value capture within

776
00:54:22,564 --> 00:54:28,804
in our economy migrating is going to be people taking advantage of these tools and having a leg

777
00:54:28,804 --> 00:54:33,024
up on other people. So you will be at a disadvantage significantly if you don't play around with these

778
00:54:33,024 --> 00:54:39,524
things sooner rather than later, in my opinion. And they're the worst they're going to be. If

779
00:54:39,524 --> 00:54:45,224
you start today, it's going to be the worst that it ever is for you. Yeah. And like, yeah, once

780
00:54:45,224 --> 00:54:50,284
again, not a panacea. It's going to Oh, the other thing is, if

781
00:54:50,284 --> 00:54:57,224
you do use Kali's project, it uses open router on the back end.

782
00:54:57,224 --> 00:55:02,724
So you have access to all the different models. You got to be

783
00:55:02,724 --> 00:55:09,144
very careful about using about using the super high end ones,

784
00:55:09,144 --> 00:55:13,024
it gets really, really expensive. He added a change to

785
00:55:13,024 --> 00:55:19,444
that tells you the cost when you're switching models,

786
00:55:19,804 --> 00:55:21,564
which didn't exist before.

787
00:55:22,624 --> 00:55:28,024
But for instance, they measured in per 1 million tokens,

788
00:55:28,864 --> 00:55:35,864
which is like a metric for your calls to the AI model.

789
00:55:36,504 --> 00:55:40,444
Opus 4.6, which is widely considered the best one

790
00:55:40,444 --> 00:55:45,664
out of Anthropic and just the best one that exists right now for these things is $15 per 1 million.

791
00:55:46,864 --> 00:55:55,144
If you use Google's Gemini 3 Pro, it's only $2. So it's almost a 7x cost difference between the

792
00:55:55,144 --> 00:56:05,524
two. Then OpenRouter also has, it offers OpenAI's free model, GPT-OSS-120B, which fucking sucks,

793
00:56:05,524 --> 00:56:07,364
but it's completely free.

794
00:56:08,164 --> 00:56:11,044
So you can tell your agent

795
00:56:11,044 --> 00:56:13,104
things that don't matter as much,

796
00:56:13,184 --> 00:56:14,664
like use the free one for that.

797
00:56:14,784 --> 00:56:16,024
And you'll learn different ways.

798
00:56:16,204 --> 00:56:19,264
But I just want to be clear here

799
00:56:19,264 --> 00:56:21,804
because some of you might have the same intuition as me,

800
00:56:21,864 --> 00:56:23,144
which is you only want the best

801
00:56:23,144 --> 00:56:26,544
and you will end up $1,000 in the hole or something

802
00:56:26,544 --> 00:56:28,484
within a couple of days

803
00:56:28,484 --> 00:56:31,984
if you're just recklessly hitting the most expensive model.

804
00:56:33,144 --> 00:56:34,844
Since I set mine up a month ago,

805
00:56:34,844 --> 00:56:42,204
it was before anthropic caught on to people using their max pro 5x subscriptions too often

806
00:56:42,204 --> 00:56:47,824
and so i'm still grandfathered into that so i'm not hitting the api i'm using my max pro account

807
00:56:47,824 --> 00:56:57,364
to do all that's like you can't do that anymore right no yeah i spend so much and so and like it

808
00:56:57,364 --> 00:57:02,624
also matters like you have your your agent is once again an advanced toddler in a lot of ways

809
00:57:02,624 --> 00:57:07,984
like if you don't keep asking it how much money am i spending on tokens can we reduce

810
00:57:07,984 --> 00:57:14,084
the amount of token usage it will just go crazy with it so i i don't know

811
00:57:14,084 --> 00:57:20,624
this was probably after last episode yeah this was after last episode a freak posted on nostor

812
00:57:20,624 --> 00:57:30,724
that he wanted a bot that that knew all of rhr and could uh ask it questions and so there's been

813
00:57:30,724 --> 00:57:33,024
almost eight years of RHR, 400 episodes.

814
00:57:33,304 --> 00:57:37,884
So I had to transcribe all RHR transcripts,

815
00:57:37,984 --> 00:57:40,604
all RHR episodes to transcribe them automatically

816
00:57:40,604 --> 00:57:42,404
because there weren't existing transcripts

817
00:57:42,404 --> 00:57:43,824
for a bunch of the early episodes

818
00:57:43,824 --> 00:57:47,924
and then saved it in a file, 400 episodes of RHR.

819
00:57:48,924 --> 00:57:51,344
And I realized 24 hours later

820
00:57:51,344 --> 00:57:54,704
that it was saved in short-term memory,

821
00:57:54,704 --> 00:57:59,644
which is called the context window in these AI agents.

822
00:57:59,644 --> 00:58:03,804
And so it was every time I would ask it a simple question, this is just an example.

823
00:58:03,884 --> 00:58:06,044
I don't ask it with the weather, but like, what is the weather outside?

824
00:58:06,124 --> 00:58:13,664
It would send all 400, the transcripts of all 400 episodes of RHR to the LLM model.

825
00:58:13,884 --> 00:58:16,184
And I was getting charged like a crazy fucking amount.

826
00:58:16,864 --> 00:58:18,604
And then I realized I was getting charged so much.

827
00:58:18,624 --> 00:58:22,004
And I asked the AI agent, I asked the bot, I was like, what's going on here?

828
00:58:22,024 --> 00:58:26,484
He's like, oh, well, it looks like I've been sending all 400 episodes of RHR.

829
00:58:26,564 --> 00:58:28,804
Every time I ask a simple question, I probably shouldn't do that.

830
00:58:28,804 --> 00:58:30,724
It's like, yeah, you probably shouldn't fucking do that.

831
00:58:30,844 --> 00:58:32,044
Like, why are you doing that?

832
00:58:32,544 --> 00:58:45,246
Don do that So just keep that in mind But anyway once you figure it out then you start to see like now I have a separate file that is all the dispatch transcripts since the beginning of the show

833
00:58:45,366 --> 00:58:47,666
all the RHR transcripts since the beginning of the show.

834
00:58:48,186 --> 00:58:51,026
And then I can individually cue it to ask it questions

835
00:58:51,026 --> 00:58:58,246
and pull our collective brain resources that we've had for eight years,

836
00:58:58,246 --> 00:58:59,006
which is just great.

837
00:58:59,166 --> 00:59:00,886
Like that capability is fucking awesome.

838
00:59:00,886 --> 00:59:04,706
But if you do it in a naive way, it can cost you a lot of money.

839
00:59:05,246 --> 00:59:07,386
So just keep all this stuff in mind.

840
00:59:08,486 --> 00:59:08,626
Yeah.

841
00:59:09,506 --> 00:59:15,446
Another thing, I'm not sure how it works with Klawi.ai, Kali's thing.

842
00:59:16,906 --> 00:59:21,626
But if you're setting it up in a VPS and you're doing it the old-fashioned way,

843
00:59:21,686 --> 00:59:24,146
make sure you run it through Cloudflare or Tailscale

844
00:59:24,146 --> 00:59:27,646
because your server IP will be exposed.

845
00:59:28,266 --> 00:59:29,406
And that's how people hack it.

846
00:59:29,406 --> 00:59:36,586
So make sure you have a tunnel application between your server and the broader internet as well.

847
00:59:37,846 --> 00:59:39,166
Yeah, that's one of the nice aspects.

848
00:59:40,726 --> 00:59:42,686
Cali's service handles all that stuff for you.

849
00:59:44,206 --> 00:59:46,126
You end up paying a little bit more.

850
00:59:47,006 --> 00:59:47,766
It's worth it though.

851
00:59:48,526 --> 00:59:50,206
Especially if you're dealing with Bitcoin stuff.

852
00:59:50,586 --> 00:59:52,086
You don't want somebody getting into your server.

853
00:59:52,926 --> 00:59:54,266
Yeah, and you're just getting your feet wet.

854
00:59:54,746 --> 00:59:55,946
Convenience does help a lot here.

855
00:59:55,946 --> 00:59:58,546
Once again, I don't think this should be people's final setup.

856
00:59:59,406 --> 01:00:08,686
but it's a really easy way to get your feet wet yeah on uh how to do it and by the way like this

857
01:00:08,686 --> 01:00:14,226
is it's i think it's an interesting example of where we currently are with this tech

858
01:00:14,226 --> 01:00:22,886
is that i basically spun up that nostor rhr bot in one prompt within a couple hours once it finished

859
01:00:22,886 --> 01:00:28,486
the transcriptions like that was the easy part the hard part was doing it in an efficient way

860
01:00:28,486 --> 01:00:29,766
that didn't cost me a ton of money.

861
01:00:31,166 --> 01:00:33,666
But it actually was just like one or two prompts.

862
01:00:33,766 --> 01:00:36,226
I was like, here's the RSS feed, transcribe it.

863
01:00:36,266 --> 01:00:38,366
I want you to create a master bot that can respond to people.

864
01:00:39,626 --> 01:00:39,766
Yeah.

865
01:00:41,326 --> 01:00:43,766
I feel like Carlos would have been the one to make this,

866
01:00:43,846 --> 01:00:45,286
but it seems like he was slacking.

867
01:00:46,486 --> 01:00:47,706
Well, hopefully someone else makes it

868
01:00:47,706 --> 01:00:50,726
because there's kind of a mental burden to deal with,

869
01:00:50,746 --> 01:00:51,166
to be honest.

870
01:00:51,466 --> 01:00:52,286
But now I have my own.

871
01:00:52,286 --> 01:00:57,946
So I disabled in a fit of exhaustion.

872
01:00:57,946 --> 01:00:59,946
I just disabled the NostroBot.

873
01:01:00,326 --> 01:01:01,886
I was like, stop fucking posting.

874
01:01:02,546 --> 01:01:04,166
Stop looking up on the transcripts.

875
01:01:04,166 --> 01:01:05,186
I don't want to pay any more money.

876
01:01:06,106 --> 01:01:07,266
But now I have it.

877
01:01:07,306 --> 01:01:08,326
I've been using it myself.

878
01:01:08,446 --> 01:01:10,706
So maybe I'll re-enable the NostroBot at some point.

879
01:01:14,686 --> 01:01:19,326
The last two blocks that I've been on on mempoolmadness.com,

880
01:01:20,106 --> 01:01:24,926
I've come three seconds short of it hitting the block that I bet on.

881
01:01:25,506 --> 01:01:26,326
One more bet.

882
01:01:26,406 --> 01:01:27,046
I'm a degenerate.

883
01:01:27,946 --> 01:01:36,026
yeah i was so frustrated at my guy for failing to set it up again

884
01:01:36,026 --> 01:01:41,286
all right let's go i need i need this block to be mine between

885
01:01:41,286 --> 01:01:44,366
eight and nine minutes

886
01:01:44,366 --> 01:01:54,386
why'd you why'd you book one ahead of time oh someone else is in there oh see i think this

887
01:01:54,386 --> 01:01:56,666
guy is running a bot too. Mempool Madness.

888
01:01:57,806 --> 01:01:58,366
Is he front

889
01:01:58,366 --> 01:01:58,806
running me?

890
01:02:00,986 --> 01:02:02,306
He's going to run over your

891
01:02:02,306 --> 01:02:04,426
thing.

892
01:02:10,206 --> 01:02:12,286
What else have we got? What else happened

893
01:02:12,286 --> 01:02:13,266
this week? Epstein files?

894
01:02:14,046 --> 01:02:16,326
Dow's over 50k. We shouldn't worry about the

895
01:02:16,326 --> 01:02:18,586
Epstein files. What the fuck is that?

896
01:02:19,186 --> 01:02:20,066
I don't know.

897
01:02:20,226 --> 01:02:21,146
It was so bad.

898
01:02:22,766 --> 01:02:24,366
It's like completely out of touch.

899
01:02:24,386 --> 01:02:31,626
but she's the attorney general right bondi pam bondi yeah i mean it was clearly like a trump

900
01:02:31,626 --> 01:02:37,666
talking point and she just doesn't handle the deflection as well it's like you're the attorney

901
01:02:37,666 --> 01:02:43,886
general why are you quoting stock market prices uh to tell she's like the stock market is booming

902
01:02:43,886 --> 01:02:50,346
why are you talking about the epstein files it's like well uh you're the you're you're the lead

903
01:02:50,346 --> 01:02:55,826
prosecutor in the country and this seems like the one of the most important prosecutions that people

904
01:02:55,826 --> 01:03:00,626
want to see happen and you have absolutely fuck all to do with the stock market so what the fuck

905
01:03:00,626 --> 01:03:06,306
are you talking about it's like yeah these uh these people are emailing about uh human beef jerky

906
01:03:06,306 --> 01:03:11,826
that they were uh they were packaging and bringing to parties i think uh i don't think we want a

907
01:03:11,826 --> 01:03:19,746
bunch of cannibals running around uh the world it's like it'd be one thing if like they were asking

908
01:03:19,746 --> 01:03:24,886
besant his opinion on the epstein files and he's like i'm the treasury secretary the economy's going

909
01:03:24,886 --> 01:03:29,686
great but like imagine if you went into like a police department and you like talk to the detective

910
01:03:29,686 --> 01:03:33,846
and you're like yes someone broke into my house can you like figure out who broke into my house

911
01:03:33,846 --> 01:03:39,506
and he was like have you seen the stock market lately your charles schwab account is so high

912
01:03:39,506 --> 01:03:47,526
why are you asking me about the home break it's her fucking job yeah i would be surprised if she's

913
01:03:47,526 --> 01:03:50,386
attorney general for much longer after yesterday.

914
01:03:50,386 --> 01:03:55,926
That was an epic blunder, the likes of which I haven't seen in quite some time.

915
01:03:56,326 --> 01:03:56,906
Little capital hell.

916
01:03:59,366 --> 01:04:01,606
A lot of more productive stuff, though.

917
01:04:02,046 --> 01:04:03,726
We said it last week, nothing's going to happen.

918
01:04:03,906 --> 01:04:05,026
And that was just like a reinforcement.

919
01:04:05,326 --> 01:04:12,046
They don't seem like they really want to prosecute anybody as it pertains to the Epstein trial

920
01:04:12,046 --> 01:04:14,886
or the files being released.

921
01:04:14,886 --> 01:04:23,006

01:04:54,246 --> 01:05:03,806
on uh on this post um i feel like that's just a seeing open source developers of like critical

927
01:05:03,806 --> 01:05:09,366
open source software release an update immediately be one of the most trending posts on nostr and

928
01:05:09,366 --> 01:05:15,986
receive a one of the larger zap loads that a post has gotten this week is like a really cool sign

929
01:05:15,986 --> 01:05:22,786
to see i mean that's that's where i'd like to see the future go um you know i i like to think

930
01:05:22,786 --> 01:05:28,166
open sets in a lot of ways is like a stop gap accelerant into a world where ideally

931
01:05:28,166 --> 01:05:30,486
bots and humans are

932
01:05:30,486 --> 01:05:31,826

Yeah. Yeah.

938
01:05:42,246 --> 01:05:44,026
It's your freaks. We live in the future.

939
01:05:46,046 --> 01:05:46,626
Let's

940
01:05:46,626 --> 01:05:48,666
reboost from last week before we forget.

941
01:05:50,006 --> 01:05:50,426
All right.

942
01:05:50,806 --> 01:05:51,766
Let me pull it up.

943
01:05:51,766 --> 01:05:53,906
Since we're technically in software updates.

944
01:05:54,066 --> 01:05:55,826
I see on Nostar we got one

945
01:05:55,826 --> 01:05:57,446
from our asteroid dude.

946
01:05:57,446 --> 01:05:59,966
21,000 sats from roaming

947
01:05:59,966 --> 01:06:02,126
and his meme, his emoji

948
01:06:02,126 --> 01:06:03,046
is the asteroid.

949
01:06:03,766 --> 01:06:06,006
I think it's an asteroid or a basketball.

950
01:06:08,066 --> 01:06:09,486
I think it's an asteroid.

951
01:06:09,886 --> 01:06:10,746
I think it's an asteroid.

952
01:06:12,126 --> 01:06:12,826
All right.

953
01:06:13,966 --> 01:06:14,746
You got three

01:06:14,746 --> 01:06:17,286

01:06:47,526 --> 01:06:51,586
We're also working on Chicago's first physical Bitcoin hub that will function as a restaurant.

969
01:06:52,186 --> 01:06:52,786
Fork and Coin.

970
01:06:53,826 --> 01:06:55,206
And a workspace for Bitcoiners.

971
01:06:55,206 --> 01:06:58,766
Learn more at ChicagoBitcoinCollective.com.

972
01:06:59,586 --> 01:07:00,266
Shout out to Chicago.

973
01:07:01,086 --> 01:07:02,406
City near and dear to my heart.

974
01:07:03,566 --> 01:07:05,946
Stimmy, hashtag 40 hours per week.

975
01:07:06,126 --> 01:07:08,526
Podcast listing, 22,222 sats.

976
01:07:08,666 --> 01:07:10,086
Tunes across the board, pound drum boost.

977
01:07:10,666 --> 01:07:12,826
Bot-powered pig butchering is going to be wild.

978
01:07:13,686 --> 01:07:15,686
Taking those kingpins down in Southeast Asia

979
01:07:15,686 --> 01:07:17,886
might look like decapitating the Hydra.

980
01:07:19,026 --> 01:07:19,586
You got to beware.

981
01:07:19,826 --> 01:07:20,686
These bots are going to get you.

982
01:07:21,366 --> 01:07:23,826
Another thing, make sure you guys have safety words with your family.

983
01:07:23,826 --> 01:07:26,006
I'm seeing a lot of

984
01:07:26,006 --> 01:07:28,926
an increase in the amount of

985
01:07:28,926 --> 01:07:30,726
fake kidnappings

986
01:07:30,726 --> 01:07:32,346
and they'll call you

987
01:07:32,346 --> 01:07:33,606
and say we kidnapped your wife

988
01:07:33,606 --> 01:07:35,886
or it'll be your wife on the phone

989
01:07:35,886 --> 01:07:37,386
they kidnapped me and they need you to wire

990
01:07:37,386 --> 01:07:39,446
$10,000 to this bank account

991
01:07:39,446 --> 01:07:41,906
another good technique is to

992
01:07:41,906 --> 01:07:44,226
just like you signalize

993
01:07:44,226 --> 01:07:45,526
your communication method

994
01:07:45,526 --> 01:07:48,406
yeah and they're good at spoofing

995
01:07:48,406 --> 01:07:49,746
apparently the one I saw this week

996
01:07:49,746 --> 01:07:51,666
they like spoofed the number so well

997
01:07:51,666 --> 01:07:52,326
that like came up

998
01:07:52,326 --> 01:07:53,006
That's what I'm saying.

999
01:07:53,546 --> 01:07:54,486
Wife was actually called.

1000
01:07:54,586 --> 01:07:54,726
Yeah.

1001
01:07:55,226 --> 01:07:57,746
But they can't do that with a paired signal account.

1002
01:07:57,866 --> 01:07:58,206
If you,

1003
01:07:58,346 --> 01:08:00,806
if you already have an open signal chat with someone.

1004
01:08:01,586 --> 01:08:02,026
Yeah.

1005
01:08:03,326 --> 01:08:03,966
But yeah,

1006
01:08:03,966 --> 01:08:05,266
it's going to get really messy.

1007
01:08:05,406 --> 01:08:09,866
All this K like the whole infrastructure that our society is built on with

1008
01:08:09,866 --> 01:08:12,246
you KYC and bot checks and stuff.

1009
01:08:15,346 --> 01:08:16,026
Once again,

1010
01:08:16,026 --> 01:08:20,926
I will repeat the fundamental change that we saw with open claw.

1011
01:08:20,926 --> 01:08:23,026
it already was functionality that already existed.

1012
01:08:23,166 --> 01:08:24,806
It wasn't like a technological breakthrough.

1013
01:08:24,946 --> 01:08:25,926
First of all, it was open source.

1014
01:08:26,026 --> 01:08:30,626
But second of all, it just made it easier to interact with these things.

1015
01:08:30,626 --> 01:08:35,046
And specifically, it made it so that you can get around bot restrictions

1016
01:08:35,046 --> 01:08:40,306
by just having it use a web browser and click around and go do things.

1017
01:08:41,066 --> 01:08:46,466
So basically turned everything into an API in a very broken way, but still.

1018
01:08:46,466 --> 01:08:54,766
um and so we're going to see mass impersonations of people audio generation video generation

1019
01:08:54,766 --> 01:09:00,306
and this is going to break all these systems that our society is currently built on top of

1020
01:09:00,306 --> 01:09:09,806
and we're going to have to kind of start fresh in a chaotic way um but yeah yeah be aware um

1021
01:09:09,806 --> 01:09:15,646
we already talked about magma shout out to the emboss team i'm actually gonna be recording with

1022
01:09:15,646 --> 01:09:16,366
Jesse tomorrow.

1023
01:09:17,466 --> 01:09:18,146
This is cool.

1024
01:09:19,186 --> 01:09:21,186
Our friend, good friend of the show.

1025
01:09:23,126 --> 01:09:23,806
Justin Moon,

1026
01:09:24,186 --> 01:09:24,746
Vibe Coded,

1027
01:09:25,006 --> 01:09:27,766
something to make it easier for

1028
01:09:27,766 --> 01:09:28,426
OpenClaw

1029
01:09:28,426 --> 01:09:31,286
to communicate over Noster.

1030
01:09:31,446 --> 01:09:33,226
So he built an OpenClaw extension for Marmot

1031
01:09:33,226 --> 01:09:35,106
protocol, the protocol underneath it, and the

1032
01:09:35,106 --> 01:09:37,346
encrypted messaging app, wait, noise. If you're comfortable running

1033
01:09:37,346 --> 01:09:39,406
Vibe Coded Alpha software, please give it

1034
01:09:39,406 --> 01:09:41,026
a try. Let me know how it goes.

1035
01:09:41,766 --> 01:09:43,526
I tried to run

1036
01:09:43,526 --> 01:09:44,826
this and almost broke everything.

1037
01:09:45,646 --> 01:09:54,306
And then I got tired with my bot and I told him to forget everything I told him and to delete a bunch of shit.

1038
01:09:56,266 --> 01:09:58,106
But this is the future.

1039
01:09:58,266 --> 01:10:02,106
I was talking to Jeff G of Marmon and White Noise, lead maintainer.

1040
01:10:03,006 --> 01:10:12,766
And they're working on a proper CLI client that's geared for bots, command line client that's geared for bots that they should hopefully be releasing in a few weeks.

1041
01:10:13,746 --> 01:10:19,086
But this is a perfect example of open protocols being superior to the current status quo.

1042
01:10:19,646 --> 01:10:24,006
Most people are using Telegram right now to communicate with their claw bots.

1043
01:10:24,726 --> 01:10:26,786
Telegram is obviously a centralized company.

1044
01:10:27,886 --> 01:10:31,966
Telegram itself does bot checks to try and stop accounts.

1045
01:10:32,106 --> 01:10:36,986
So if you create a fresh Telegram account and you try and use a burner phone number, oftentimes it'll block your account.

1046
01:10:37,946 --> 01:10:39,326
Other people are trying to use Signal.

1047
01:10:39,506 --> 01:10:42,006
I successfully set up Signal and then it broke.

1048
01:10:42,766 --> 01:10:45,066
to communicate with my bot.

1049
01:10:45,066 --> 01:10:47,646
Signal is also actively trying to throttle

1050
01:10:47,646 --> 01:10:51,226
Signal CLI connections and linking.

1051
01:10:51,226 --> 01:10:54,186
They have like a bot prevention program,

1052
01:10:54,186 --> 01:10:56,326
which is very counterintuitive

1053
01:10:56,326 --> 01:11:00,946
in this current place we find ourselves in.

1054
01:11:00,946 --> 01:11:03,046
So open protocols fix this, right?

1055
01:11:03,046 --> 01:11:06,046
And connecting to your bot should be as simple as,

1056
01:11:06,046 --> 01:11:09,046
this is my MPub message me using Marmot.

1057
01:11:09,046 --> 01:11:10,906
It's obvious.

1058
01:11:10,906 --> 01:11:12,546
It is really obvious.

1059
01:11:12,546 --> 01:11:21,326
And I think what people miss when they say like agentic communications or agentic payments is one of the key aspects is the human to agent and agent to human part.

1060
01:11:22,146 --> 01:11:25,626
And I think open protocols specifically really excel with that.

1061
01:11:26,906 --> 01:11:30,486
And in that situation, they have to be simpler, right?

1062
01:11:30,726 --> 01:11:38,526
You can get away with an agent to agent protocol that is complicated because the agent will figure it out, right?

1063
01:11:38,566 --> 01:11:40,766
I said, I want my agent to trade on Polymarket.

1064
01:11:40,766 --> 01:11:47,486
he's like you need usdce on matt on polygon to do this i was like well here's some bitcoin why

1065
01:11:47,486 --> 01:11:51,346
don't you figure out how to get that and he just went and did all the complicated shit coin shit

1066
01:11:51,346 --> 01:11:57,626
like he was on like uniswap and things and like found his way into his polygon wallet um so like

1067
01:11:57,626 --> 01:12:01,646
he can figure all that out but when it comes to like a human trying to actually communicate i

1068
01:12:01,646 --> 01:12:05,866
should be able to just say here's my mpub message me back i shouldn't be doing like a complicated

1069
01:12:05,866 --> 01:12:08,166
pairing mechanism to make that happen.

1070
01:12:09,046 --> 01:12:11,866
Yep. That's a great point. On the

1071
01:12:11,866 --> 01:12:14,866
topic of Signal and Telegram,

1072
01:12:14,946 --> 01:12:16,926
look and pull it up. I'm sure you saw this, but

1073
01:12:16,926 --> 01:12:18,846
everything is borked.

1074
01:12:20,426 --> 01:12:24,006
There was an Israeli company called

1075
01:12:24,006 --> 01:12:26,486
Paragon, a security company,

1076
01:12:26,846 --> 01:12:29,506
quote-unquote security. They've got a product called

1077
01:12:29,506 --> 01:12:32,266
Graphite. They're hacking mercenaries.

1078
01:12:32,266 --> 01:12:47,126
Yeah, a couple of their idiotic employees posted a selfie on LinkedIn with the sort of back end of their Graphite product in the background.

1079
01:12:47,966 --> 01:12:50,186
And JSR was tweeting about it.

1080
01:12:50,266 --> 01:12:55,146
He has a more detailed sort of infographic highlighting everything.

1081
01:12:55,146 --> 01:13:00,726
It looks like signals, WhatsApp, Telegram, and a bunch of other apps.

1082
01:13:00,726 --> 01:13:04,366
It looks like they have root access, kernel access to everybody's devices, essentially.

1083
01:13:06,626 --> 01:13:23,266
To be clear here, because there's a point here where it can be an informative news item that helps people understand their risks,

1084
01:13:23,266 --> 01:13:29,486
or it can be something that creates hopelessness among people in terms of security.

1085
01:13:30,726 --> 01:13:39,646
The way Paragon works or NSO group with Pegasus is they collect zero days.

1086
01:13:39,766 --> 01:13:44,286
They collect ways to compromise your device before they're public.

1087
01:13:44,946 --> 01:13:46,366
And then they target individuals.

1088
01:13:46,786 --> 01:13:49,786
So it's not mass surveillance.

1089
01:13:50,206 --> 01:13:51,446
It's like, okay, you're a dissident.

1090
01:13:51,606 --> 01:13:54,026
You're fighting against the Rwandan government.

1091
01:13:54,026 --> 01:13:59,166
we are going to send you a WhatsApp message that has a hidden payload that

1092
01:13:59,166 --> 01:14:00,806
compromises your entire phone.

1093
01:14:00,806 --> 01:14:05,786
And then we're going to access different apps and stuff within your phone.

1094
01:14:05,786 --> 01:14:07,066
Right. So like, they're not like,

1095
01:14:07,466 --> 01:14:11,186
it's not them going into backend telegram servers or backend signal servers or

1096
01:14:11,186 --> 01:14:11,446
whatever.

1097
01:14:11,706 --> 01:14:17,146
It's them breaking into your phone and then accessing these different apps.

1098
01:14:17,366 --> 01:14:20,406
And there's ways to protect yourself from it. First of all,

1099
01:14:20,406 --> 01:14:24,786
if you're on Android, the best way to protect yourself is to use a de-Googled Android,

1100
01:14:25,126 --> 01:14:31,846
specifically graphene. And ironically, that works with a pixel devices, Google pixel devices,

1101
01:14:31,846 --> 01:14:36,786
because they allow you to unlock and relock the bootloader. If you're on iPhone, single best thing

1102
01:14:36,786 --> 01:14:41,786
you can do is just be constantly updated to the most recent release. And then the second biggest

1103
01:14:41,786 --> 01:14:49,886
thing you can do is they have a lockdown mode that secures iOS much stronger. But a lot of times

1104
01:14:49,886 --> 01:14:52,866
what you see is their capabilities aren't, you know,

1105
01:14:52,886 --> 01:14:54,946
the latest device with the latest updates,

1106
01:14:54,946 --> 01:14:56,366
but most people don't have that.

1107
01:14:57,566 --> 01:14:59,786
And they keep all of this very secretive.

1108
01:15:00,266 --> 01:15:05,606
This group specifically, Paragon is,

1109
01:15:05,906 --> 01:15:08,626
and same with NSO group, is like ex-Israeli intelligence.

1110
01:15:08,626 --> 01:15:13,306
It's one of these startups that came out of Israel's

1111
01:15:13,306 --> 01:15:15,806
like secretive NSA style units.

1112
01:15:16,006 --> 01:15:19,266
I think it's like unit 8200, I think is the name of it.

1113
01:15:19,266 --> 01:15:27,886
But what's interesting here, and so then they're technically a private company, and then they sell their services to governments.

1114
01:15:28,746 --> 01:15:35,486
And then in the case of the United States, it's been argued that it doesn't break the Constitution because it's a private government that's doing it.

1115
01:15:35,526 --> 01:15:37,146
So it's not like they need a warrant.

1116
01:15:38,446 --> 01:15:45,406
But then they sell it to, you know, all these random tin pot dictators that usually wouldn't have these capabilities, right?

1117
01:15:45,406 --> 01:15:51,206
random small countries that just pay like a couple hundred thousand dollars and they can pick a

1118
01:15:51,206 --> 01:15:55,806
they can pick an enemy that they want to hack and get into and they're very secretive about

1119
01:15:55,806 --> 01:16:01,766
their capabilities so in this case they posted a selfie onto linkedin and it had a bunch of

1120
01:16:01,766 --> 01:16:08,246
their capabilities that people didn't know previously yeah thank you for clarifying i'm

1121
01:16:08,246 --> 01:16:13,566
not trying to fear monger here but i think this individual they were targeting was in chechnya

1122
01:16:13,566 --> 01:16:14,746
or something like that.

1123
01:16:16,906 --> 01:16:19,966
Yeah, like all his information was on the back screen behind their selfie.

1124
01:16:20,746 --> 01:16:21,226
Yeah.

1125
01:16:21,886 --> 01:16:22,266
Retarded.

1126
01:16:23,906 --> 01:16:25,306
Those people lost their job.

1127
01:16:26,486 --> 01:16:26,966
Yeah.

1128
01:16:28,126 --> 01:16:29,966
Not going to lie, I think I got to tap out.

1129
01:16:30,106 --> 01:16:33,546
I'm like delusional weak right now.

1130
01:16:34,666 --> 01:16:35,766
This sounds good.

1131
01:16:37,446 --> 01:16:39,026
We got anything up there?

1132
01:16:41,866 --> 01:16:43,366
No, I mean, I'm fine with rapping.

1133
