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.

00:00:08,200 --> 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 arrogant fashion. Never have to connect the Cold Card Q to an

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:36,680
internet device you can sign transactions and pspts remotely in the most secure fashion if you're a

14
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,420
Matt and I have been talking about privacy and the importance of using a VPN for seven years now, literally seven years.

15
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,800
I believe at least once every episode or two.

16
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,100
It's like, hey, make sure you're running a VPN.

17
00:01:29,740 --> 00:01:39,620
I think it's especially important today where you have governments in the UK, other parts of Europe, all across the world, really trying to introduce digital ID and curbing speech with hate speech laws.

18
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:46,400
Make sure you're protecting your privacy and shielding yourself from government surveillance as you're perusing the web.

19
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,580
our VPN of choice here at RHR is Obscura is built by a Bitcoiner for Bitcoiners. Carl Dung

20
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:57,380
did some very critical work for Bitcoin back in the day, but he decided to shift his focus to

21
00:01:57,380 --> 00:02:02,200
bring privacy to everybody with Obscura. It is a VPN that cannot log literally by the way it's

22
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,980
designed. A lot of VPNs will hand ways say we're not logging. We're not logging. You can't trust

23
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:12,360
them. You want the VPN that cannot log. That is Obscura. Go to Obscura.net. Use the code RHR for

24
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,860
25% off when you sign up any of their deals. Make sure you're using it, particularly if you're in

25
00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:21,640
one of these countries where the governments are becoming extremely censorious and targeting

26
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:26,380
citizens that exhibit wrong think you should be running a VPN. That VPN should be obscura,

27
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,380
obscura.net, code RHR, 25% off. This rip was brought to you by our official electrolyte

28
00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:37,920
sponsor here at RHR, Salt of the Earth. You've been hearing Matt and I talk about it quite a bit.

29
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,540
I drink multiple packets of it a day

30
00:02:40,540 --> 00:02:41,420
You gotta stay hydrated

31
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:43,240
That's why my face looks so good

32
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,640
That's why I'm getting buff

33
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:45,660
I'm able to get to the gym more

34
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:46,360
Because I'm hydrated

35
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,820
Matt, he's looking incredible

36
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:49,100
I'm sure you've all noticed it

37
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:49,920
You wanna know why?

38
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,500
Salt of the earth, baby

39
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,780
Go to drinkssauté.com

40
00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:55,260
Use the code RHR

41
00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:56,960
You're gonna get 15% off

42
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,660
I'm dead serious

43
00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:59,800
It hasn't made my life way better

44
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,440
My wife, she's right behind me right now laughing

45
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,000
But she's laughing because she knows it's true

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,180
She drinks like seven a day

47
00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:07,340
I drink a few a day

48
00:03:07,340 --> 00:03:11,940
maybe seven a day too. Matt, I don't even want to tell you how much he's drinking. It's good.

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:20,600
It keeps you hydrated. It keeps you alert. Keeps you ready to go. Drink saute.com. That's D-R-I-N-K-S-O-T-E.com.

50
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,700
Use the code RHR for 15% off any order.

51
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,480
You've had a dynamic where money's become freer than free.

52
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:39,240
If you talk about a Fed just gone nuts, all the central banks going nuts.

53
00:03:39,940 --> 00:03:41,440
So it's all acting like safe haven.

54
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,820
I believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their currency, Bitcoin wins.

55
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:52,040
In the world of fiat currencies, Bitcoin is the victor.

56
00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:54,880
I mean, that's part of the bull case for Bitcoin.

57
00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:57,780
If you're not paying attention, you probably should be.

58
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840
This is Logan's flu game, his away flu game.

59
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,760
he's out

60
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,660
visiting family

61
00:04:06,660 --> 00:04:08,000
he's sick

62
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,860
he's figuring out how to do

63
00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:11,800
what's up freaks

64
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,080
it was great

65
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,500
pre going live

66
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:18,960
was able to have a great conversation with your mother

67
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,320
shout out to all the mothers out there

68
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,860
especially

69
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:24,640
good shout out

70
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,480
shout out to my wife

71
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,080
I mean it's so

72
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,800
cliche

73
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,460
and stereotypical, but it's true.

74
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:37,700
Christmas set up, doing all the shopping,

75
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,520
all the gift wrapping.

76
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Then I show up Christmas Eve.

77
00:04:41,380 --> 00:04:42,180
I'm like, hey, what can I do?

78
00:04:42,420 --> 00:04:42,980
It's like, okay.

79
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,760
Just don't mess up.

80
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Don't mess up.

81
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Did you see the Tiger Woods meme

82
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,200
that was floating around about it?

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Yeah.

84
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,060
It was like every husband to his wife

85
00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:56,160
on Christmas morning,

86
00:04:56,420 --> 00:04:57,500
and it's just Tiger's like,

87
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,820
big dog, good job.

88
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,120
Uh-oh.

89
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,580
I will say...

90
00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:07,600
I got a little...

91
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:07,880
Hey.

92
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Out of here.

93
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Talking about kids.

94
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:19,560
It's pretty cool watching Christmas through the eyes of young children.

95
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:21,600
It really does...

96
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,660
Yeah.

97
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,320
It's got a feeling of magic to it.

98
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,180
Really wonderful experience.

99
00:05:29,140 --> 00:05:30,420
Merry Christmas, freaks.

100
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,580
Oh, I thought it was on mute.

101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,460
he has figured out a the middle child got a monster truck he's very excited about it's okay i was

102
00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:45,120
talking over you i was just talking about how wonderful christmas is from the eyes of children

103
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,980

104
00:05:50,980 --> 00:05:56,660

105
00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:57,240
Merry Christmas.

106
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:00,000
What is it?

107
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:00,960
Is it about silver?

108
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,220
I named it Silver Squeeze.

109
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,620
How'd you know it was about silver?

110
00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:07,820
I can see the comments rolling in.

111
00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:11,480
In multiple of me and Marty's group chats,

112
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,180
because we're in many group chats together,

113
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:16,340
I'm the guy constantly just posting silver memes.

114
00:06:17,340 --> 00:06:18,620
It's a little bit predictable.

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,980
Do you have silver bags?

116
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,580
No, I do not.

117
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Did I tell you this story?

118
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,480
I like tried to like a couple of weeks ago,

119
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:36,200
I tried to FOMO into a physical metal and it was just,

120
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,240
it was,

121
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,780
it was just too much of a pain in the ass.

122
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:41,420
And I was just like,

123
00:06:41,460 --> 00:06:41,620
whatever,

124
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,280
I'll just go down with the ship if we're wrong.

125
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:48,540
That's a tweet.

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,080
We're going down with Bitcoin ship.

127
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:51,000
I mean,

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,300
like I figured out how to buy like $4,000 worth,

129
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,140
but it just doesn't really move the needle.

130
00:06:57,060 --> 00:06:57,420
It's like, no.

131
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,840
It's like, might as well not.

132
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,220
All the physical metal dealers that I can find online

133
00:07:04,220 --> 00:07:07,000
that accept Bitcoin all accept it through BitPay

134
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,840
and require BitPay to KYC to do it.

135
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,640
And then you, I mean, then it means you're like

136
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,640
receiving like $100,000 worth of physical in the mail

137
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,620
which just didn't seem.

138
00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:23,260
And then how do you,

139
00:07:23,260 --> 00:07:25,140
I got to carry it to sell it.

140
00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:28,080
I figured it just wasn't even worth it.

141
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:30,380
Yeah.

142
00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:32,280
And hope it's not fake.

143
00:07:39,540 --> 00:07:41,560
It is having its day.

144
00:07:41,660 --> 00:07:42,260
Precious metals.

145
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:44,900
Gold above $4,500.

146
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,060
I believe this morning.

147
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,860
Maybe $4,600.

148
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,060
Pretty crazy to witness.

149
00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:50,860
It is.

150
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,520
I'm not sure if you saw Matt Dines'

151
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,760
is a tweet on it.

152
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:55,920
I thought it was good.

153
00:07:57,340 --> 00:07:59,700
You have a look and pull up the silver squeeze tweet.

154
00:07:59,860 --> 00:08:02,000
And then I'll dump Matt Dines is tweeting here too,

155
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,620
because I think.

156
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:07,700
It was.

157
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:13,640
Yeah, I mean, I don't know like the validity of this tweet or not,

158
00:08:13,940 --> 00:08:14,220
but.

159
00:08:16,980 --> 00:08:20,060
We got here and I'm definitely not a silver expert.

160
00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:25,860
breaking silver prices are exploding due to a severe global supply shortage the physical market

161
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:30,560
can no longer meet soaring demand here's what is actually going on china is changing the rules

162
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,040
starting january 1st 2026 china will restrict silver exports to export silver companies will

163
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,460
now need government licenses only large state approved firms qualify at least 80 tons of

164
00:08:42,460 --> 00:08:47,120
annual production around 30 million dollars in credit lines effectively block small mid-sized

165
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:53,280
exporters china controls roughly 60 to 70 percent global silver supply for those who forget china

166
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:59,740
went on a silver standard um a couple centuries ago or maybe a century ago and then uh did not

167
00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:05,060
bode well for them when china tightens exports it was a bad decision at the time drops immediately

168
00:09:05,060 --> 00:09:09,560
this is the same tactics china used with rare earth metals the silver number two the silver

169
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:14,220
market will already was already short supply silver has been in a structural deficit for

170
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:19,140
five straight years that means demand is higher than supply every single year for 2025 global

171
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:26,580
demand 1.24 billion ounces global supply 1.01 billion ounces there's a gap of 100 to 250 million

172
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:32,300
ounces and this gap is expected to get worse after china's export limits mining supply is not growing

173
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:38,120
silver mining is mostly a byproduct of copper and zinc mining new mines take 10 plus years to build

174
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,700
or quality is falling recycling is not enough to fill the gap there is no quick fix three

175
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:45,220
how many points does he have?

176
00:09:46,060 --> 00:09:47,300
He has a lot of points.

177
00:09:47,740 --> 00:09:49,220
I mean, I didn't expect you to read them all.

178
00:09:50,140 --> 00:09:51,800
Three physical silver inventories are

179
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,020
collapsing. Four paper silvers.

180
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,880
It's just a fucking silver squeeze.

181
00:09:56,140 --> 00:09:57,680
It's a long-winded

182
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:58,500
silver squeeze.

183
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:01,620
And his

184
00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:03,940
argument is that, I guess, that it's being manufactured.

185
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:05,660
Oh, not, it's being led by China.

186
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:07,760
Maybe manufactured is the

187
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,220
wrong word.

188
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:11,400
Did you see

189
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,140
oh and then what's this other tweet you put in here

190
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:22,260
it was a matt dynes um i thought this is long was the tldr

191
00:10:22,260 --> 00:10:26,280
we're not going to read the whole thing we'll link to it in the show notes too long don't read

192
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:32,440
is uh didn't read there's a lot of bitcoiners and bitcoin naysayers are saying hey

193
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:37,980
uh bitcoin's not keeping up with gold and silver it should be performing with them

194
00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:44,940
and it's not like what's happening and dimes basically said like hey this is like the bitcoin

195
00:10:44,940 --> 00:10:49,640
thesis playing out in precious metals like the gold bugs the silver bugs have been talking about

196
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,580
this for decades like it's going to happen gradually then suddenly like and we've reached

197
00:10:53,580 --> 00:10:59,980
the suddenly point for precious metals that shouldn't be seen as a knock on bitcoin like

198
00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:04,080
they're having outlier years which many people have been calling for with the short squeezes

199
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,720
on the paper trading.

200
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,580
No, I mean, so did you see my Cope graph posts

201
00:11:10,580 --> 00:11:11,720
that I put on Noster?

202
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,580
Yeah, they were there.

203
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:14,200
Big Cope.

204
00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:18,840
So gold and silver priced in Bitcoin last five years.

205
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:24,060
I mean, they're not anywhere near all-time highs

206
00:11:24,060 --> 00:11:25,860
when priced in Bitcoin, right?

207
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:33,600
So the positive analysis here is that,

208
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,520
okay you're going to cherry pick numbers and you're going to say you could accuse me of

209
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,680
cherry picking by saying five years but the 10-year chart looks even worse for them um

210
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:50,240
but uh i think you know i there's there's a couple ways to look at it first of all i mean you could

211
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:56,800
you could think of this as like a bullish precedent for bitcoin um gold and silver ripping absolutely

212
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:05,440
massive market caps gold specifically is like absolutely insane um and the amount of nominal

213
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,280
market cap that it's increased over the last two months three months um and that bitcoin will rip

214
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:17,440
next and that golden the gold and silver moved first um i mean the alternative take though could

215
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:30,240
be that this is uh the early to middle days of us moving into mandibles and uh we we picked the

216
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:37,600
wrong coin um and that gold and silver are just going to run away here and that we you know saw

217
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:45,280
saw the all-time high priced in and big in all-time high price in gold and bitcoin um already

218
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,360
and we'll never see it again.

219
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,180
I don't think that's the case.

220
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:52,760
But you also have who the fuck knows, right?

221
00:12:52,780 --> 00:12:54,680
And I think that's what's running in a lot of people's heads.

222
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:56,780
I do think when you look at those charts, though,

223
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,960
and you see the five-year,

224
00:12:58,220 --> 00:13:03,320
people are mentally in tuned with that, right?

225
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,720
I think if you ask the average participant,

226
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,520
they would think that silver and gold priced in Bitcoin right now

227
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,200
are at all-time highs.

228
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,160
But you look at that chart, and it's not even close.

229
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:21,700
they're having their day they're having their day

230
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:34,660
i would say though um my son is eating my son is eating gold coins right now just let me know

231
00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:38,240
that he ate the last chocolate coin that is that his aunt gave him last night

232
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,280
Did you tell them it's fake? It's not real gold.

233
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,160
I see some commentators.

234
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:58,174
As always we have the Nostra live chat That where the freaks dwell You can find it on any Nostra compatible live chat app I like Primal

235
00:13:58,814 --> 00:14:00,654
You can download Primal in your favorite app store.

236
00:14:01,994 --> 00:14:04,234
But some commentators are saying here that,

237
00:14:04,234 --> 00:14:06,474
some commentators, some freaks are saying that

238
00:14:06,474 --> 00:14:08,614
this isn't related to Bitcoin.

239
00:14:08,774 --> 00:14:10,594
I mean, I think this is heavily related to Bitcoin.

240
00:14:10,734 --> 00:14:13,174
It's probably the single most important Bitcoin story of the week,

241
00:14:13,214 --> 00:14:14,494
which is why we let off with it.

242
00:14:14,494 --> 00:14:22,534
I mean, this is a historic metal squeeze across gold, platinum and silver.

243
00:14:22,534 --> 00:14:28,034
And it just feels very mandibles like.

244
00:14:28,034 --> 00:14:35,894
And I will say that historically, from the Bitcoin point of view, we've always been able to punch down in the war of monies with shit coins.

245
00:14:36,674 --> 00:14:42,974
And I think this next era is us punching up more, which is Bitcoin versus gold and Bitcoin versus silver.

246
00:14:44,494 --> 00:14:45,714
They're all computing monies.

247
00:14:47,034 --> 00:14:53,594
And we'll, yeah, I was talking about MVK in the comments.

248
00:14:53,934 --> 00:14:57,494
I wasn't going to call you out by name, but now that you're offended, I called you some commentators.

249
00:15:02,414 --> 00:15:03,614
They're all computing monies.

250
00:15:03,914 --> 00:15:06,574
So I think they'll all exist, right?

251
00:15:06,574 --> 00:15:10,494
I don't think like in a post-Bitcoin world, gold and silver don't exist.

252
00:15:10,494 --> 00:15:16,154
But I think one of them is going to have the lion's share of the market.

253
00:15:17,054 --> 00:15:18,194
And right now that's gold.

254
00:15:18,534 --> 00:15:20,654
And my bet is that it'll be Bitcoin.

255
00:15:22,014 --> 00:15:22,154
Yeah.

256
00:15:22,754 --> 00:15:23,814
Just looking at the chart.

257
00:15:24,574 --> 00:15:26,174
Looking at the chart I'm trading you right now.

258
00:15:26,274 --> 00:15:30,714
Silver is trading at $28.81 January 1st of this year.

259
00:15:31,074 --> 00:15:33,494
Currently it's $76.54.

260
00:15:34,414 --> 00:15:37,754
So it's up like 150%, a little more than that year to date.

261
00:15:37,754 --> 00:15:44,014
good year for silver gold similarly

262
00:15:44,014 --> 00:15:56,874
if we go back to january 1st it was at 2600 now it's at 45 20 so not a double yet but not pretty

263
00:15:56,874 --> 00:16:07,154
big the other thing that's crazy about today's era is it really does feel like everything has

264
00:16:07,154 --> 00:16:16,774
just been it has just evolved into like a meme coin it's just like like social media and

265
00:16:16,774 --> 00:16:26,494
communities i mean around this recent run you see it like crazy um like i don't have like uh

266
00:16:26,494 --> 00:16:32,014
i haven't perfectly distilled this perspective or this thought

267
00:16:32,014 --> 00:16:39,214
even in my own head so let alone saying out loud is is more difficult um but it does feel like

268
00:16:39,214 --> 00:16:45,234
gold and silver make more sense well first of all two twofold right it's like we know that they're

269
00:16:45,234 --> 00:16:53,074
printing like crazy we know we have runaway inflation we know the end of uh the fiat status

270
00:16:53,074 --> 00:16:59,994
quo is is gradually then suddenly being priced in and i still strongly believe in mandibles than

271
00:16:59,994 --> 00:17:02,234
the Bitcoin standard and all of this lines up with that.

272
00:17:02,634 --> 00:17:04,034
But also at the same time,

273
00:17:04,594 --> 00:17:08,434
gold and silver right now are very much trading like the original meme coins.

274
00:17:09,094 --> 00:17:11,194
It's like they have super strong brands behind them.

275
00:17:12,314 --> 00:17:16,494
Retail's aping in in a big way and retail that has any money at least.

276
00:17:19,774 --> 00:17:20,974
It's kind of fascinating.

277
00:17:22,274 --> 00:17:24,214
I mean, it's nothing new either.

278
00:17:24,294 --> 00:17:25,114
It's happened throughout history.

279
00:17:25,114 --> 00:17:28,194
Like you're saying that, it's just like, hey, this is when money dies.

280
00:17:28,934 --> 00:17:29,834
This is what happens.

281
00:17:29,834 --> 00:17:30,454
That's true, yeah.

282
00:17:31,594 --> 00:17:32,414
You gotta read the book.

283
00:17:32,614 --> 00:17:34,754
I mean, this is what I was tweeting out

284
00:17:34,754 --> 00:17:39,154
on October 9th before Bitcoin.

285
00:17:39,474 --> 00:17:42,614
It took a little detour to lower levels,

286
00:17:42,614 --> 00:17:46,774
but whether it's a Bitcoin chart, gold or silver,

287
00:17:47,914 --> 00:17:51,454
we just look and compare them to what was happening

288
00:17:51,454 --> 00:17:54,534
in Weimar back in the day.

289
00:17:54,994 --> 00:17:55,914
We're just living through it again.

290
00:17:59,834 --> 00:18:04,574
but are we going to be able to post charts like the uh the one on the right again

291
00:18:04,574 --> 00:18:13,354
which one big the bitcoin yearly candle just uh skyrocketing higher

292
00:18:13,354 --> 00:18:23,474
anyway be aware freaks something to pay attention to on a on a uh on a cooler note

293
00:18:23,474 --> 00:18:25,474
we called out

294
00:18:25,474 --> 00:18:27,414
the Oslo airport

295
00:18:27,414 --> 00:18:29,374
tax free section accepting

296
00:18:29,374 --> 00:18:31,054
Bitcoin using BTC pay server

297
00:18:31,054 --> 00:18:33,654
and we were correct

298
00:18:33,654 --> 00:18:35,354
that it was a local freak in Oslo

299
00:18:35,354 --> 00:18:37,454
who put it

300
00:18:37,454 --> 00:18:38,514
together and made it happen

301
00:18:38,514 --> 00:18:40,554
he commented on

302
00:18:40,554 --> 00:18:42,094
Noster

303
00:18:42,094 --> 00:18:44,814
claiming victory

304
00:18:44,814 --> 00:18:46,834
so huge shout out to him

305
00:18:46,834 --> 00:18:47,594
what's his name

306
00:18:47,594 --> 00:18:49,434
Sandra

307
00:18:49,434 --> 00:18:53,254
SatoshiConsult.com

308
00:18:53,254 --> 00:18:55,834
he was the one who did it

309
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:58,074
yeah

310
00:18:58,074 --> 00:18:59,434
Sandra Sonder

311
00:18:59,434 --> 00:19:02,034
sorry for the mispronunciation

312
00:19:02,034 --> 00:19:04,434
we're known for that here

313
00:19:04,434 --> 00:19:07,894
we did call you the local freak

314
00:19:07,894 --> 00:19:09,174
that is a term of endearment

315
00:19:09,174 --> 00:19:09,974
I hope you know

316
00:19:09,974 --> 00:19:11,954
I think he knew it

317
00:19:11,954 --> 00:19:14,234
he seemed like he actually is a freak

318
00:19:14,234 --> 00:19:14,574
so

319
00:19:14,574 --> 00:19:20,854
I mean he clearly listened to it

320
00:19:20,854 --> 00:19:22,454
or maybe someone sent it to him

321
00:19:23,254 --> 00:19:24,454
yeah

322
00:19:24,454 --> 00:19:25,734
hey

323
00:19:25,734 --> 00:19:27,354
feet on the ground

324
00:19:27,354 --> 00:19:29,134
man to man work

325
00:19:29,134 --> 00:19:30,094
man to man offense

326
00:19:30,094 --> 00:19:31,274
go in the Oslo airport

327
00:19:31,274 --> 00:19:32,074

if not you

332
00:19:37,094 --> 00:19:37,454
then who

333
00:19:37,454 --> 00:19:39,274
Sander took

334
00:19:39,274 --> 00:19:41,734
took that quote to heart

335
00:19:41,734 --> 00:19:42,614
and said you know what

336
00:19:42,614 --> 00:19:43,134
I'm going to walk down

337
00:19:43,134 --> 00:19:43,494
to the airport

338
00:19:43,494 --> 00:19:44,534
get you guys set up

339
00:19:44,534 --> 00:19:49,114
I didn't realize

340
00:19:49,114 --> 00:19:50,354
we actually skipped ahead

341
00:19:50,354 --> 00:19:50,814
on the list

342
00:19:50,814 --> 00:19:51,534
because I

343
00:19:51,534 --> 00:19:52,134
I didn't know

344
00:19:53,254 --> 00:19:54,654
Name the episode Silver Squeeze.

345
00:19:56,554 --> 00:20:02,414
Do you want to read the news, the stats of the day first before we continue?

346
00:20:03,274 --> 00:20:04,494
I thought you were going to ask me to read the letter.

347
00:20:04,634 --> 00:20:05,934
I was going to say it's going to take a while.

348
00:20:06,214 --> 00:20:07,234
No, it's a long letter.

349
00:20:07,354 --> 00:20:08,214
We'll just link to it.

350
00:20:10,754 --> 00:20:13,274
Kion wrote a letter from prison.

351
00:20:15,854 --> 00:20:18,394
One of the two jailed samurai devs.

352
00:20:18,394 --> 00:20:19,574
So we linked to the letter.

353
00:20:19,774 --> 00:20:20,894
It was posted in The Rage.

354
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:22,714
Consider listening to it.

355
00:20:22,714 --> 00:20:29,274
consider reading it and signing the petition if you haven't yet happy to report that the petition

356
00:20:29,914 --> 00:20:38,074
does seem to be accelerating still low numbers 12 553 signatures need to pump those numbers

357
00:20:38,074 --> 00:20:41,674
we'll comment on the letter after we get the clark's dashboard where the current price of

358
00:20:41,674 --> 00:20:49,594
bitcoin is 87 290 dollars one cuck buck is going to get you 1 146 sats we're at 1.74 trillion dollar

359
00:20:49,594 --> 00:20:58,914
market cap we are at block height 929 605 which means we had a difficulty adjustment uh and

360
00:20:58,914 --> 00:21:05,354
despite everything we were talking about china may be binding met a little up banning mining

361
00:21:05,354 --> 00:21:13,534
yet again uh polar vortex leading to more demand response miners forced to shut down it was a flat

362
00:21:13,534 --> 00:21:16,934
adjustment at 0.0% according to Clark's

363
00:21:16,934 --> 00:21:21,254
dashboard. If we go over to mempool.space, we'll see

364
00:21:21,254 --> 00:21:25,154
that they're labeling

365
00:21:25,154 --> 00:21:29,914
technically an upwards adjustment 0.04%.

366
00:21:29,914 --> 00:21:32,554
So we had an upwards difficulty adjustment

367
00:21:32,554 --> 00:21:37,154
since we last met here. We are currently

368
00:21:37,154 --> 00:21:41,254
1,786 blocks

369
00:21:41,254 --> 00:21:42,934
away from the next retarget,

370
00:21:43,054 --> 00:21:45,194
which is estimated to be on January 8th, 2026,

371
00:21:45,354 --> 00:21:50,494
looking like a negative 0.4% retarget right now,

372
00:21:50,634 --> 00:21:54,814
but take that with a grain of salt early in this epoch.

373
00:21:54,814 --> 00:21:58,054
Clock's been coming in at 10 minutes and five seconds on average.

374
00:21:58,954 --> 00:22:00,934
Clark's Mempool struggling right now.

375
00:22:01,214 --> 00:22:02,894
268 transactions in it.

376
00:22:03,034 --> 00:22:04,254
Figure over to mempool.space.

377
00:22:05,134 --> 00:22:08,674
They have 41,527 transactions.

378
00:22:08,674 --> 00:22:10,774
one separate

379
00:22:10,774 --> 00:22:11,194
rebate

380
00:22:11,194 --> 00:22:11,894
we'll get you

381
00:22:11,894 --> 00:22:12,694
in the next block

382
00:22:12,694 --> 00:22:13,894
insane

383
00:22:13,894 --> 00:22:15,434
it's the holidays

384
00:22:15,434 --> 00:22:16,134
it's the holidays

385
00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:17,034
everybody's

386
00:22:17,034 --> 00:22:18,054
everybody's on holiday

387
00:22:18,054 --> 00:22:18,514
you know

388
00:22:18,514 --> 00:22:19,694
business isn't happening

389
00:22:19,694 --> 00:22:23,954
Christmas hangover

390
00:22:23,954 --> 00:22:25,074
people aren't

391
00:22:25,074 --> 00:22:25,654
aren't buying

392
00:22:25,654 --> 00:22:26,414
they did all their

393
00:22:26,414 --> 00:22:26,934
gift shopping

394
00:22:26,934 --> 00:22:27,354
with Bitcoin

395
00:22:27,354 --> 00:22:27,994
last month

396
00:22:27,994 --> 00:22:28,374
you know

397
00:22:28,374 --> 00:22:29,974
makes sense

398
00:22:29,974 --> 00:22:30,534
makes sense

399
00:22:30,534 --> 00:22:31,434
the mempools are empty

400
00:22:31,434 --> 00:22:33,374
relatively empty

401
00:22:33,374 --> 00:22:33,814
with

402
00:22:33,814 --> 00:22:35,334
cheap

403
00:22:35,334 --> 00:22:36,614
cheap transactions

404
00:22:36,614 --> 00:22:41,874
all right back to the letter from

405
00:22:41,874 --> 00:22:44,214
Keon that the rage

406
00:22:44,214 --> 00:22:45,054
reproduced

407
00:22:45,054 --> 00:22:47,634
go read it

408
00:22:47,634 --> 00:22:50,314
hand up I've not finished reading

409
00:22:50,314 --> 00:22:51,334
it yet but

410
00:22:51,334 --> 00:22:56,114
it's really huge in terms of what

411
00:22:56,114 --> 00:22:58,214
Keon specifically is going through right now

412
00:23:02,494 --> 00:23:03,394
yeah I mean

413
00:23:03,394 --> 00:23:04,534
especially on Christmas

414
00:23:04,534 --> 00:23:05,994
this letter hits pretty hard

415
00:23:05,994 --> 00:23:08,054
we need to get them out of jail

416
00:23:08,054 --> 00:23:10,094
yeah

417
00:23:10,094 --> 00:23:17,714
instructed to strip off his clothes

418
00:23:17,714 --> 00:23:19,174
until he's fully or dehumanizing

419
00:23:19,174 --> 00:23:19,994
I think it's a

420
00:23:19,994 --> 00:23:26,194
I think it's a pretty cool partnership

421
00:23:26,194 --> 00:23:28,154
though it seems like he's just going to be

422
00:23:28,154 --> 00:23:30,194
sending letters to the rage

423
00:23:30,194 --> 00:23:31,874
and they're going to be publishing them for him so

424
00:23:31,874 --> 00:23:35,974
that's pretty cool

425
00:23:35,974 --> 00:23:42,054
yeah they also have the address for kian if you want to write to kian

426
00:23:42,054 --> 00:23:51,014
the address is at the bottom yeah just keep in mind that i think the limit is three pages you

427
00:23:51,014 --> 00:23:57,374
can send and every obviously everything is is read uh before it's handed to him so keep that in mind

428
00:23:57,374 --> 00:24:07,754
yeah be aware freaks um i see backwater mining zap does 21 000 sets and the nostril live chat

429
00:24:07,754 --> 00:24:14,794
merry christmas and happy hash rate heating winters are where heat punks shine summers are

430
00:24:14,794 --> 00:24:21,774
for building 2026 will be full of innovation damn right thank you for your support i could

431
00:24:21,774 --> 00:24:27,714
on that shout out to all the heat punks out there one of the uh one of the applications i'm more

432
00:24:27,714 --> 00:24:35,134
bullish on in the next few years i think it's really cool everybody's building out there yeah

433
00:24:35,134 --> 00:24:40,574
and i think um it becomes it just over time like as we've talked about this a lot in the past but

434
00:24:40,574 --> 00:24:46,374
as asic life cycles continue to increase performance improvements plateau and don't

435
00:24:46,374 --> 00:24:48,374
jump up as significantly.

436
00:24:49,794 --> 00:24:53,954
I think we'll see more and more uses of waste heat

437
00:24:53,954 --> 00:24:55,274
and novel ways for mining.

438
00:24:56,474 --> 00:24:58,194
Naturally distributes hash too.

439
00:24:58,314 --> 00:24:58,994
It's really great.

440
00:24:59,974 --> 00:25:00,914
Win, win, win.

441
00:25:01,914 --> 00:25:03,514
This is what I'm thinking of.

442
00:25:04,434 --> 00:25:06,994
Just the heated driveway so you don't have to shovel snow

443
00:25:06,994 --> 00:25:07,994
if you live in an area.

444
00:25:08,874 --> 00:25:09,854
Yeah, that one was cool.

445
00:25:09,934 --> 00:25:10,674
Did you see that one?

446
00:25:11,334 --> 00:25:11,614
Yeah.

447
00:25:13,714 --> 00:25:15,154
Let me see if I find it.

448
00:25:15,154 --> 00:25:22,214
But, I mean, as somebody who had to shovel snow for three hours last week,

449
00:25:22,454 --> 00:25:23,974
this would be way more efficient.

450
00:25:26,954 --> 00:25:27,774
Here's Logan.

451
00:25:33,254 --> 00:25:33,734
Okay.

452
00:25:36,314 --> 00:25:42,274
And like a freak who zapped us in the live chat,

453
00:25:42,394 --> 00:25:44,894
this was built in the summer, and I was able to reap the benefits.

454
00:25:45,154 --> 00:25:46,694
this infrastructure build out.

455
00:25:51,114 --> 00:25:52,534
All right, we're already on

456
00:25:52,534 --> 00:25:53,374
to

457
00:25:53,374 --> 00:25:56,514
the Human Rights Foundation

458
00:25:56,514 --> 00:25:57,334
story of the week,

459
00:25:57,374 --> 00:25:58,774
which is coming out of the UAE.

460
00:25:59,834 --> 00:26:01,174
United Arab Emirates

461
00:26:01,174 --> 00:26:02,654
where CBDC roll out

462
00:26:02,654 --> 00:26:03,854
as free

463
00:26:03,854 --> 00:26:04,794
amid expanding

464
00:26:04,794 --> 00:26:05,874
financial surveillance.

465
00:26:06,134 --> 00:26:07,274
United Arab Emirates

466
00:26:07,274 --> 00:26:08,254
Central Bank

467
00:26:08,254 --> 00:26:09,494
announced that the first phase

468
00:26:09,494 --> 00:26:10,494
of its digital dirham

469
00:26:10,494 --> 00:26:12,054
Central Bank Digital Currency

470
00:26:12,054 --> 00:26:12,994
will be offered free

471
00:26:12,994 --> 00:26:14,294
to users and small businesses

472
00:26:14,294 --> 00:26:17,274
streaming the rollout as a cost-saving upgrade to payments.

473
00:26:18,094 --> 00:26:21,214
But, quote-unquote, free at launch does not mean neutral.

474
00:26:21,474 --> 00:26:26,874
As a direct central bank liability, the digital dirham gives the state full visibility into transactions

475
00:26:26,874 --> 00:26:32,034
and the power to impose future fees, conditions, or negative interest rates once adoption is established.

476
00:26:32,034 --> 00:26:40,014
The news follows the UAE's first state-to-state CBDC transaction conducted via the multi-CBDC Enbridge platform,

477
00:26:40,014 --> 00:26:43,614
which links the UAE with China and other authoritarian states

478
00:26:43,614 --> 00:26:45,854
in a shared programmable settlement system.

479
00:26:46,594 --> 00:26:48,154
For more stories like this and others,

480
00:26:48,434 --> 00:26:51,654
make sure you sign up for the Financial Freedom Report newsletter

481
00:26:51,654 --> 00:26:54,514
at financialfreedomreport.org.

482
00:26:55,274 --> 00:26:56,134
CBDCs, they're here.

483
00:26:56,974 --> 00:26:58,994
Feels like more and more every week.

484
00:27:00,594 --> 00:27:01,874
They told us they weren't coming.

485
00:27:02,874 --> 00:27:03,794
Told us they weren't coming.

486
00:27:05,514 --> 00:27:07,794
Apparently, the EU Ninja launched.

487
00:27:07,794 --> 00:27:13,754
their CBDC or digital euro, I think,

488
00:27:15,014 --> 00:27:15,854
on Christmas Eve.

489
00:27:16,454 --> 00:27:17,594
Let me see if I can find this.

490
00:27:22,914 --> 00:27:27,874
Yeah, I think they settled on the launch date officially.

491
00:27:27,874 --> 00:27:30,274
January 2027, the digital euro CBDC

492
00:27:30,274 --> 00:27:32,014
is expected to enter pilot rollout.

493
00:27:32,794 --> 00:27:36,674
July 2027, EU-wide rules will cap business cash payments

494
00:27:36,674 --> 00:27:37,734
at 10,000 euros.

495
00:27:37,794 --> 00:27:53,768
so the uh the digital euro timeline has been set big topic of discussion this week i don know if you have it on the list i don think you do

496
00:27:53,768 --> 00:28:05,388
but what uh the sanctioning of five europeans for trying to pressure u.s based social media

497
00:28:05,388 --> 00:28:06,948
companies to censor their users.

498
00:28:08,028 --> 00:28:08,648
Oh, I didn't see that.

499
00:28:09,888 --> 00:28:11,008
Is it connected to Russia?

500
00:28:12,548 --> 00:28:12,988
No.

501
00:28:13,348 --> 00:28:14,688
No, it's connected to

502
00:28:14,688 --> 00:28:18,268
a number of things.

503
00:28:18,788 --> 00:28:19,108
The UK.

504
00:28:20,628 --> 00:28:22,428
Is this like the war against Elon?

505
00:28:23,788 --> 00:28:24,268
No.

506
00:28:24,508 --> 00:28:25,948
I mean, he's been dragged into it, but really,

507
00:28:26,108 --> 00:28:28,488
I recorded with Preston Pysh, who's actually leading

508
00:28:28,488 --> 00:28:30,208
the charge.

509
00:28:30,208 --> 00:28:32,328
The UK, after their

510
00:28:32,328 --> 00:28:33,248
digital

511
00:28:33,248 --> 00:28:37,688
Surveillance Act, or I forget what they're calling it, the DSA.

512
00:28:38,688 --> 00:28:47,908
It passed when live at the beginning of this year, and Ofcom, which is a British federal

513
00:28:47,908 --> 00:28:55,968
agency, sent a letter suing 4chan and Kiwi Farms, which are too small.

514
00:28:55,968 --> 00:28:57,928
So you know what 4chan is, obviously.

515
00:28:58,288 --> 00:29:00,008
Kiwi Farms is one I was not aware of.

516
00:29:00,008 --> 00:29:04,288
basically trying to find them and force them to

517
00:29:04,288 --> 00:29:08,148
explain what they're doing and why they're not censoring people.

518
00:29:08,748 --> 00:29:10,908
And Preston Byrne is representing them and others.

519
00:29:10,908 --> 00:29:13,328
You said Pish. Byrne makes more sense.

520
00:29:13,328 --> 00:29:14,748
Did I say Pish? Byrne.

521
00:29:15,588 --> 00:29:17,288
A lot of Preston's.

522
00:29:17,948 --> 00:29:21,548
Byrne is a free speech constitutional lawyer.

523
00:29:22,488 --> 00:29:22,688
Yeah.

524
00:29:23,408 --> 00:29:25,248
That makes a lot more sense.

525
00:29:25,748 --> 00:29:27,988
Yeah. And him and another big coiner.

526
00:29:30,008 --> 00:29:37,128
colin out of wyoming they put together the granite act which would basically make it very hard for

527
00:29:37,128 --> 00:29:44,068
uk and eu officials to try to put pressure on u.s social media platforms to censor their users

528
00:29:44,068 --> 00:29:50,788
because they don't like the speech i recorded with preston earn last friday posted it on monday go

529
00:29:50,788 --> 00:29:56,608
listen to it if you want to learn all about this case but it's it's uh escalating on i think it

530
00:29:56,608 --> 00:29:58,048
Christmas Eve or maybe it was

531
00:29:58,048 --> 00:29:59,628
the 23rd

532
00:29:59,628 --> 00:30:02,128
US sanctioned five

533
00:30:02,128 --> 00:30:04,608
individuals from the European

534
00:30:04,608 --> 00:30:05,028
Union

535
00:30:05,028 --> 00:30:08,208
who were doing this

536
00:30:08,208 --> 00:30:10,468
one of which was Irman Ahmed

537
00:30:10,468 --> 00:30:11,888
who runs the

538
00:30:11,888 --> 00:30:14,028
Center for Countering Digital Hate

539
00:30:14,028 --> 00:30:16,368
which put this YouTube channel if you're watching on YouTube

540
00:30:16,368 --> 00:30:17,568
put us on a list

541
00:30:17,568 --> 00:30:20,468
for having a climate scientist

542
00:30:20,468 --> 00:30:22,548
who don't believe

543
00:30:22,548 --> 00:30:24,608
in a cataclysmic climate change

544
00:30:24,608 --> 00:30:26,288
imminent cataclysmic climate change

545
00:30:26,288 --> 00:30:28,368
John. They put us on a list

546
00:30:28,368 --> 00:30:29,528
and got us censored by YouTube.

547
00:30:30,848 --> 00:30:32,028
Their leader has been

548
00:30:32,028 --> 00:30:33,948
sanctioned, not allowed to enter the U.S.

549
00:30:34,528 --> 00:30:34,928
Nice.

550
00:30:36,208 --> 00:30:38,268
Thierry, the big one

551
00:30:38,268 --> 00:30:40,148
is he was the ex-head of the

552
00:30:40,148 --> 00:30:40,908
EU Commission.

553
00:30:42,108 --> 00:30:43,868
He's the one who sent a letter to Elon

554
00:30:43,868 --> 00:30:44,888
when Elon was

555
00:30:44,888 --> 00:30:48,088
publicly announcing that he was going to interview

556
00:30:48,088 --> 00:30:50,128
Trump. He sent

557
00:30:50,128 --> 00:30:51,808
a letter basically trying to censor

558
00:30:51,808 --> 00:30:53,588
Elon, not having him.

559
00:30:54,088 --> 00:30:55,868
Didn't want him to interview Trump because it couldn't

560
00:30:55,868 --> 00:30:57,188
cite violence in the EU.

561
00:30:58,808 --> 00:30:59,808
Terry Bretton.

562
00:31:00,888 --> 00:31:02,308
He's not allowed in the US either.

563
00:31:02,888 --> 00:31:04,028
There's a few others as well.

564
00:31:06,728 --> 00:31:07,668
That's good news.

565
00:31:09,148 --> 00:31:10,388
Fight fire with fire.

566
00:31:11,588 --> 00:31:11,788
Yeah.

567
00:31:13,328 --> 00:31:14,468
I was going to heat up.

568
00:31:14,648 --> 00:31:15,548
They're saying that

569
00:31:15,548 --> 00:31:19,028
it's a way for the US to evade

570
00:31:19,028 --> 00:31:21,488
the laws of Europe and the UK.

571
00:31:22,548 --> 00:31:24,088
Australia has a similar law too

572
00:31:24,088 --> 00:31:25,408
so they'll probably get into the mix.

573
00:31:25,868 --> 00:31:26,748
That's going to be a big fight.

574
00:31:27,188 --> 00:31:29,748
Do we actually have free speech on the internet

575
00:31:29,748 --> 00:31:34,368
if European countries, Australia, New Zealand,

576
00:31:34,528 --> 00:31:35,828
I think is going to get in the mix too,

577
00:31:36,568 --> 00:31:39,788
can write laws and then supernationally enforce them

578
00:31:39,788 --> 00:31:42,088
on U.S. social media platforms,

579
00:31:42,468 --> 00:31:45,948
hiding behind the guise of the internet and hate speech.

580
00:31:53,668 --> 00:31:55,408
Better get your silver while you still can.

581
00:31:55,408 --> 00:32:02,248
geopolitical tensions are picking up the nastro live chat just like they're all attacking each

Merry Christmas to you too.

594
00:33:17,628 --> 00:33:18,688
You have the easier one.

595
00:33:19,108 --> 00:33:19,868
Easier readout.

596
00:33:19,988 --> 00:33:20,508
Merry Christmas.

597
00:33:21,048 --> 00:33:32,688
Also, I realized, by the way, we should start, if people zap the Nostra video, and it's over 21,000 sats, we should start reading that as well with our shoutouts.

598
00:33:34,168 --> 00:33:37,188
So that they're on even footing with podcasting 2.0.

599
00:33:37,388 --> 00:33:38,868
We didn't have one that hit it.

600
00:33:39,068 --> 00:33:42,908
We had Milky zap 20,000 sats, but he was close enough.

601
00:33:42,908 --> 00:33:45,088
And he said Pilates was created by a man.

602
00:33:46,428 --> 00:33:51,228
But also, I don't know if you saw it, but on the announcement,

603
00:33:51,888 --> 00:33:56,228
Bright or Die Freak Brian zapped us a million sats,

604
00:33:56,708 --> 00:33:58,828
which I think is the largest zap of all time.

605
00:34:00,448 --> 00:34:03,708
You can find his account at primal.net slash Brian with a Y.

606
00:34:04,268 --> 00:34:05,928
Go follow that absolute legend.

607
00:34:06,288 --> 00:34:07,228
That's fucking awesome.

608
00:34:07,548 --> 00:34:08,408
Merry Christmas to you.

609
00:34:08,488 --> 00:34:09,048
Thank you, sir.

610
00:34:09,788 --> 00:34:11,208
Yeah, and his message was zap more.

611
00:34:11,208 --> 00:34:12,728
Shout out to Logan and cum rocket.

612
00:34:16,428 --> 00:34:18,588
I'm glad you have access to it this week.

613
00:34:18,868 --> 00:34:20,228
Oh, you don't have access to it.

614
00:34:20,248 --> 00:34:20,728
Thank God.

615
00:34:21,508 --> 00:34:22,848
Well, you did it for him.

616
00:34:22,908 --> 00:34:23,888
Now we got another recording.

617
00:34:24,008 --> 00:34:24,828
That one is even clearer.

618
00:34:26,748 --> 00:34:27,768
Clip that one.

619
00:34:31,668 --> 00:34:32,768
What else do we got?

620
00:34:33,848 --> 00:34:36,128
I guess we should read Fountain Base too,

621
00:34:36,308 --> 00:34:38,888
since we're at this point.

622
00:34:39,788 --> 00:34:41,508
Really podcasting 2.0 base.

623
00:34:41,588 --> 00:34:42,308
We just use Fountain.

624
00:34:44,108 --> 00:34:45,508
To surface them,

625
00:34:46,428 --> 00:34:48,108
Merry Christmas from Eric99.

626
00:34:48,428 --> 00:34:50,068
72,027 sats.

627
00:34:50,168 --> 00:34:51,308
Palindrome zap.

628
00:34:54,308 --> 00:34:55,348
Our girl, Syl.

629
00:34:55,448 --> 00:34:55,988
Bring them back.

00:34:59,028 --> 00:35:00,408
Horses across the board.

00:35:00,508 --> 00:35:01,148
Palindrome boost.

633
00:35:01,228 --> 00:35:02,048
Merry Christmas, freaks.

634
00:35:02,848 --> 00:35:05,488
Here's to a cracking 2026.

635
00:35:06,188 --> 00:35:07,548
Big love always, Syl and Tony.

636

Love you guys.

637
00:35:10,368 --> 00:35:10,888
Stimmy.

638
00:35:11,548 --> 00:35:14,348
Hashtag 40 hours per week of podcast listening.

639
00:35:14,348 --> 00:35:16,148
21,012 sats,

640
00:35:16,268 --> 00:35:17,548
Boundary of Boos. Merry Christmas,

641
00:35:18,188 --> 00:35:18,828
Free Samurai.

642
00:35:20,108 --> 00:35:22,068
Great messages there. Great support

643
00:35:22,068 --> 00:35:22,968
all around this week.

644
00:35:24,688 --> 00:35:25,508
Announcement post,

645
00:35:25,888 --> 00:35:27,288
live chat, Merry Christmas,

646
00:35:28,288 --> 00:35:29,488
Fountain, Merry Christmas.

647
00:35:31,988 --> 00:35:33,928
Alright, on to software update section.

648
00:35:34,048 --> 00:35:36,548
Zeus version 0.12.0

649
00:35:36,548 --> 00:35:37,988
has been released.

650
00:35:38,288 --> 00:35:39,208
This comes with

651
00:35:39,208 --> 00:35:41,168
MasterWallet Connect Service,

652
00:35:41,368 --> 00:35:42,808
Circular Channel Rebalance Tool,

653
00:35:42,808 --> 00:35:45,148
battery saver detection and warning for

654
00:35:45,148 --> 00:35:45,948
embedded L&D

655
00:35:45,948 --> 00:35:49,128
with private key import and a bunch of

656
00:35:49,128 --> 00:35:51,188
other stuff that I won't read. Go to

657
00:35:51,188 --> 00:35:52,868
the Primal Post or

658
00:35:52,868 --> 00:35:55,068
their GitHub page to learn more about this.

659
00:35:55,068 --> 00:35:56,788
Zeus is awesome. Highly recommend.

660
00:35:57,288 --> 00:35:58,728
One of the best Bitcoin wallets.

661
00:35:59,768 --> 00:36:00,268
Agree.

662
00:36:01,568 --> 00:36:03,248
ZapStore, the major release

663
00:36:03,248 --> 00:36:04,328
version 1.0

664
00:36:04,328 --> 00:36:07,208
release candidate is finally out. Completely new

665
00:36:07,208 --> 00:36:09,468
app. Too many features

666
00:36:09,468 --> 00:36:11,148
to list here available for anyone

667
00:36:11,148 --> 00:36:13,288
to test, get it on Zap Store,

668
00:36:13,868 --> 00:36:16,108
or see our latest release on GitHub.

669
00:36:16,608 --> 00:36:18,188
It will install as a step-in-app.

670
00:36:19,028 --> 00:36:21,148
Yeah, it's a freedom-focused

671
00:36:21,148 --> 00:36:23,308
App Store alternative for Android.

672
00:36:24,128 --> 00:36:25,848
And instead of relying on Google

673
00:36:25,848 --> 00:36:27,008
to verify releases,

674
00:36:27,428 --> 00:36:30,328
it uses Noster keys and signed messages

675
00:36:30,328 --> 00:36:32,208
to verify releases,

676
00:36:32,208 --> 00:36:33,988
so you know you download the correct app.

677
00:36:34,128 --> 00:36:35,508
I still think this is one of the

678
00:36:35,508 --> 00:36:37,308
coolest use cases,

679
00:36:37,488 --> 00:36:39,028
most helpful use cases of Noster.

680
00:36:39,028 --> 00:36:41,908
so a huge shout out

681
00:36:41,908 --> 00:36:44,888
to Fran who's the maintainer of that project

682
00:36:44,888 --> 00:36:46,168
I love it

683
00:36:46,168 --> 00:36:47,488

00:36:47,488 --> 00:36:48,968

685
00:36:48,968 --> 00:36:51,868
speaking of checking out year in review

686
00:36:51,868 --> 00:36:53,008
it's that time of the year

687
00:36:53,008 --> 00:36:54,648
because we hit boxing day

688
00:36:54,648 --> 00:36:57,308

689
00:36:57,308 --> 00:36:59,248

690
00:36:59,248 --> 00:37:00,548
happy boxing day

691
00:37:00,548 --> 00:37:01,988
Marty's favorite day of the year

692
00:37:01,988 --> 00:37:03,468
it is

693
00:37:03,468 --> 00:37:04,768
I'm not able to celebrate

694
00:37:04,768 --> 00:37:07,868
my wife got the bug too

695
00:37:07,868 --> 00:37:09,768
so I've got to have my wits about me.

696
00:37:09,868 --> 00:37:10,148
It can't be.

697
00:37:10,288 --> 00:37:12,188
Look at you working on Boxing Day.

698
00:37:13,108 --> 00:37:14,528
Hey, somebody's got to do it.

699
00:37:15,768 --> 00:37:16,688
Somebody's got to do it.

700
00:37:17,008 --> 00:37:18,968
All the help is out celebrating,

701
00:37:19,228 --> 00:37:22,648
so you've got to pick up your sleeves and get it done.

702
00:37:23,988 --> 00:37:25,228
Speaking of years of review,

703
00:37:25,888 --> 00:37:27,308
Bitcoin Opsack came out with theirs.

704
00:37:27,308 --> 00:37:30,068
You can go through a month-by-month breakdown

705
00:37:30,068 --> 00:37:34,268
of some of the bigger research projects,

706
00:37:34,408 --> 00:37:37,148
upgrades, conversations around Bitcoin.

707
00:37:37,868 --> 00:37:42,188
I highly recommend you go check this out.

708
00:37:42,628 --> 00:37:44,168
They have a summary on Quantum.

709
00:37:44,628 --> 00:37:48,028
If you're in there and you don't think Bitcoin developers are focused on it,

710
00:37:48,188 --> 00:37:51,328
you can read what has been worked on there.

711
00:37:53,648 --> 00:37:54,928
You can check that out.

712
00:37:55,788 --> 00:38:00,768
Yeah, Bitcoin Optech is the best technical Bitcoin newsletter in the space.

713
00:38:00,768 --> 00:38:03,208
If you don't read it on a week-to-week basis,

714
00:38:03,328 --> 00:38:06,168
at the very least you should read it for the year-in-review.

715
00:38:06,168 --> 00:38:09,128
This is a can't-miss release.

716
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:10,268
Go read it.

717
00:38:13,088 --> 00:38:17,828
I'm not going to pretend like I read this article.

718
00:38:17,948 --> 00:38:20,528
I know it was shared in a group chat that we're in last week.

719
00:38:20,628 --> 00:38:22,368
I've had it in an open tab.

720
00:38:23,508 --> 00:38:26,308
But Michael McNair wrote a Medium post,

721
00:38:26,368 --> 00:38:27,288
which I haven't seen in a while.

722
00:38:27,388 --> 00:38:28,948
This is ancient to me.

723
00:38:29,208 --> 00:38:30,488
The Venezuelan drone crisis.

724
00:38:30,748 --> 00:38:31,368
What's going on here?

725
00:38:31,368 --> 00:38:44,388
Um, I, uh, so we were talking about, uh, the Venezuelan embargo last week, um, and potential

726
00:38:44,388 --> 00:38:50,128
motives and blowing up boats and Guyana and oil fields.

727
00:38:50,688 --> 00:38:58,048
And, uh, our colleague at 10 31, John Arnold sent this to us, um, based on that conversation.

728
00:38:58,048 --> 00:38:59,648
And I read the entire thing.

729
00:38:59,648 --> 00:39:02,028
It's actually, it's an interesting perspective.

730
00:39:05,028 --> 00:39:09,848
I, so basically like his thesis is it has nothing to do with oil and it doesn't really

731
00:39:09,848 --> 00:39:11,668
have that much to do with Venezuela either.

732
00:39:12,008 --> 00:39:13,508
And it doesn't have to do with drugs.

733
00:39:15,388 --> 00:39:22,928
But his thesis is that it has to do with the fact that the Ukrainians started really escalating

734
00:39:22,928 --> 00:39:25,148
their use of underwater drones.

735
00:39:25,148 --> 00:39:35,068
The first real underwater drone usage was, I think it was December 15th, so 11 days ago.

736
00:39:35,468 --> 00:39:43,868
And they hit a heavily secure Russian port and they hit a $500 million sub while it was in port, while it was in the harbor.

737
00:39:43,868 --> 00:39:51,808
and Russia panicked so much because of it that the only way they could thought they thought they

738
00:39:51,808 --> 00:39:57,408
could protect the other ships that they had there was by sinking a couple vessels at the mouth of

739
00:39:57,408 --> 00:40:02,428
the harbor to try and make it more difficult for them to attack just to show like the urgency and

740
00:40:02,428 --> 00:40:08,288
the desperation in terms of trying to protect against underwater drones that you can't see that

741
00:40:08,288 --> 00:40:13,048
are cheaply produced and shipped really easily. Now, the biggest issue with underwater drones is

742
00:40:13,048 --> 00:40:23,188
range. So this guy argues that if China and Russia want a foothold in the Caribbean and around the

743
00:40:23,188 --> 00:40:30,768
Panama Canal for underwater drone usage and also surface drone usage, Venezuela is the ideal ally

744
00:40:30,768 --> 00:40:39,928
for them. And he argues that the reason the Trump administration seems to be very aggressive here

745
00:40:39,928 --> 00:40:46,068
and moving very quickly is because that's the fear that they're concerned about. Venezuela being used

746
00:40:46,068 --> 00:40:53,248
as a launching point, Venezuelan ships being used as a launching point. And I have a, we've talked

747
00:40:53,248 --> 00:40:58,308
about in the past, if you haven't read it, Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez is really, really

748
00:40:58,308 --> 00:41:05,128
fascinating. It's about this next era of autonomous drones and the chaotic implications

749
00:41:05,128 --> 00:41:10,828
that come with it. One of the crazy aspects of autonomous drones is particularly if you build

750
00:41:10,828 --> 00:41:16,788
them with off-the-shelf parts, it's really hard to prove who launched them. So you have plausible

751
00:41:16,788 --> 00:41:21,528
deniability that kind of end around mutually assured destruction. So if you don't know who

752
00:41:21,528 --> 00:41:25,608
attack you, it's really hard to nuke them basically.

753
00:41:29,268 --> 00:41:42,942
And I have another story here which was I think this week it came out that China is basically testing out using converting their cargo vessels into military platforms

754
00:41:42,942 --> 00:41:47,942
with advanced detection capabilities,

755
00:41:47,942 --> 00:41:52,082
but also missiles all loaded in storage containers.

756
00:41:52,462 --> 00:41:56,422
And it kind of feels like it's all connected to a degree.

757
00:41:57,702 --> 00:41:59,622
So that's why I wanted to highlight it.

758
00:42:00,482 --> 00:42:00,662
Yeah.

759
00:42:02,662 --> 00:42:06,902
no i love this perspective not that i love that it's happening but i think

760
00:42:08,262 --> 00:42:14,982
it makes a lot of sense we are in the age of asymmetric drone warfare i think ukraine's attacked

761
00:42:14,982 --> 00:42:22,662
deep in russian territory earlier this year when they snuck a bunch of drones um in 18 wheelers

762
00:42:22,662 --> 00:42:25,882
and then decimated a lot of their aircraft

763
00:42:25,882 --> 00:42:31,262
was, will probably be looked back

764
00:42:31,262 --> 00:42:33,162
as probably the,

765
00:42:33,622 --> 00:42:38,462
one of the biggest military battlefield events

766
00:42:38,462 --> 00:42:40,882
of the 21st century, an inflection point.

767
00:42:42,082 --> 00:42:42,902
Yeah, definitely a turning point.

768
00:42:42,982 --> 00:42:44,162
And I would say this other one,

769
00:42:44,162 --> 00:42:47,202
this underwater drone attack on the port.

770
00:42:49,882 --> 00:42:51,242
We'll see, crazy times,

771
00:42:51,242 --> 00:42:53,242
but I just thought it was something that we should highlight,

772
00:42:53,362 --> 00:42:55,202
particularly since we talked about it last week.

773
00:42:59,602 --> 00:43:02,102
I'm definitely not a geopolitics expert,

774
00:43:02,502 --> 00:43:07,182
but this guy's thesis makes a lot of sense to me.

775
00:43:08,042 --> 00:43:08,582
We talked about it.

776
00:43:08,582 --> 00:43:09,122
You read Vanderbilt.

777
00:43:09,402 --> 00:43:11,482
You know all about geopolitics.

778
00:43:13,462 --> 00:43:15,162
I also read When Money Dies.

779
00:43:18,342 --> 00:43:21,162
The age of asymmetric general warfare is a promise.

780
00:43:21,242 --> 00:43:28,122
yeah we've been talking about this for a while the interesting it is if you start to think about

781
00:43:28,122 --> 00:43:36,682
as like cuban missile crisis 2.0 kind of lines up um and then all of a sudden when you're flexing

782
00:43:36,682 --> 00:43:44,842
seizing cargo ships and blowing up fast small boats uh that also lines up pretty well with it

783
00:43:44,842 --> 00:43:46,402
so

784
00:43:46,402 --> 00:43:49,482
that's like

785
00:43:49,482 --> 00:43:50,362
who knows

786
00:43:50,362 --> 00:43:50,902
if this was like

787
00:43:50,902 --> 00:43:51,522
4D chess

788
00:43:51,522 --> 00:43:52,202
but I forget

789
00:43:52,202 --> 00:43:53,902
maybe it was that

790
00:43:53,902 --> 00:43:56,622
that briefing

791
00:43:56,622 --> 00:43:57,282
the presser

792
00:43:57,282 --> 00:43:58,182
that Trump did

793
00:43:58,182 --> 00:43:59,222
where he announced

794
00:43:59,222 --> 00:44:01,322
the military dividend

795
00:44:01,322 --> 00:44:01,942
the war dividend

796
00:44:01,942 --> 00:44:03,202
or the warrior dividend

797
00:44:03,202 --> 00:44:04,762
freedom bonus

798
00:44:04,762 --> 00:44:06,082
freedom bonus

799
00:44:06,082 --> 00:44:07,702
he did

800
00:44:07,702 --> 00:44:08,482
he did mention about

801
00:44:08,482 --> 00:44:09,262
like reinvesting

802
00:44:09,262 --> 00:44:10,022
in like large

803
00:44:10,022 --> 00:44:11,722
naval ships

804
00:44:11,722 --> 00:44:12,082
which

805
00:44:12,082 --> 00:44:13,162
in this day and age

806
00:44:13,162 --> 00:44:14,122
doesn't make much sense

807
00:44:14,122 --> 00:44:14,582
you're just

808
00:44:14,842 --> 00:44:22,022
throwing money at massive targets that can be taken out by cheap drone well he announced the

809
00:44:22,022 --> 00:44:27,942
trump class battleships did you saw that yeah that's what they're not they're not traditional

810
00:44:27,942 --> 00:44:34,122
battleships they're basically ones are not a navy expert but they're like the step below they're

811
00:44:34,122 --> 00:44:44,482
like cruisers um with missiles on them and and rail guns um so it's not as crazy as like

812
00:44:44,482 --> 00:44:51,262
announcing like a huge traditional battleship i think a lot of that is just like marketing it's

813
00:44:51,262 --> 00:45:01,142
like this is the new era of battleships but yeah i mean um protecting these these super large

814
00:45:01,142 --> 00:45:08,662
uh like aircraft carriers and shit when you have like autonomous drone swarms it's a whole

815
00:45:08,662 --> 00:45:17,162
different ballgame yeah but that's why it's really interesting this this chinese piece of

816
00:45:17,162 --> 00:45:22,962
using storage containers to quickly retrofit merchant vessels because they have a shit ton of

817
00:45:22,962 --> 00:45:32,222
them um and yeah like the test one has like radar that's obvious and it's like pretty obvious what's

818
00:45:32,222 --> 00:45:40,682
going on there but imagine a situation where you have tens of thousand chinese uh cargo ships and

819
00:45:40,682 --> 00:45:44,062
you don't know which ones have drone swarms and missiles on them and which ones don't

820
00:45:44,882 --> 00:45:52,622
okay what's old is new again go pick up gold warriors talking about uh how the cia went and

821
00:45:52,622 --> 00:45:57,102
pillaged the gold that the japanese hid in the philippines post-world war ii

822
00:45:57,102 --> 00:46:14,782
But a lot of this book is talking about the Asian perspective, Japanese, Korean, Chinese perspective, the lead up to and aftermath of World War II. And one of the big topics is how they retrofitted a bunch of ships back in the day to hide soldiers.

823
00:46:14,782 --> 00:46:18,282
and they were basically marketing them

824
00:46:18,282 --> 00:46:22,542
as medical ships.

825
00:46:23,982 --> 00:46:28,942
They were using them for attack measures.

826
00:46:29,482 --> 00:46:31,122
So again, what's old is new again.

827
00:46:31,362 --> 00:46:32,642
Great book, Gold Warriors.

828
00:46:32,962 --> 00:46:33,902
I think I've mentioned that before.

829
00:46:34,142 --> 00:46:34,682
Go pick it up.

830
00:46:38,422 --> 00:46:40,082
Speaking of this, Navy.

831
00:46:41,282 --> 00:46:42,022
You go first.

832
00:46:42,022 --> 00:46:43,222
I was going to transition to something.

833
00:46:44,782 --> 00:46:48,982
Well, no, yours sounds actually relevant to what we're talking about, so continue.

834
00:46:50,682 --> 00:46:55,242
Speaking of the Navy, United States Indo-Pacific Command,

835
00:46:56,002 --> 00:47:00,202
Jason Lowry has been appointed special assistant and direct advisor.

836
00:47:01,422 --> 00:47:02,262
No one gives a shit.

837
00:47:05,542 --> 00:47:06,142
What?

838
00:47:08,962 --> 00:47:10,002
What do we think?

839
00:47:10,182 --> 00:47:11,642
Everybody's very excited about this.

840
00:47:13,042 --> 00:47:14,322
There's a non-story.

841
00:47:14,322 --> 00:47:20,362
doesn't matter good for him um i don't have it on the list um but what's your opinion on the

842
00:47:20,362 --> 00:47:28,222
epstein releases so far uh you'll be shocked to know i haven't done a deep dive other than

843
00:47:28,222 --> 00:47:33,502
i saw that they redacted a bunch of stuff and didn't actually redact it appropriately so i mean

844
00:47:33,502 --> 00:47:39,022
people are claiming that you can actually did you see that doge canceled their adobe pro

845
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:45,002
subscription and they think that's why they fucked up the redaction really that would be

846
00:47:45,602 --> 00:47:52,362
incredible what are your thoughts on it i haven't done a deep dive either it's been christmas week

847
00:47:52,362 --> 00:47:59,082
also talk about um talk about the effects of the post-truth world it's so hard to

848
00:47:59,082 --> 00:48:07,102
navigate what is real and what is what is fake um but it seems like trump is heavily implicated

849
00:48:07,102 --> 00:48:08,462
didn't it? Am I correct?

850
00:48:09,882 --> 00:48:11,082
Again, I did not

851
00:48:11,082 --> 00:48:11,902
do a deep dive yet.

852
00:48:13,382 --> 00:48:14,842
Specifically in the redactions,

853
00:48:15,162 --> 00:48:16,222
as they

854
00:48:16,222 --> 00:48:18,962
peel away the redactions, it's like a lot of

855
00:48:18,962 --> 00:48:20,502
Trump mentioned stuff in the redactions.

856
00:48:22,402 --> 00:48:23,082
I don't know.

857
00:48:23,142 --> 00:48:24,502
I haven't looked deeply into it.

858
00:48:24,822 --> 00:48:26,882
Franks, if you have a good

859
00:48:26,882 --> 00:48:28,862
deep dive or analysis on it,

860
00:48:29,762 --> 00:48:30,682
send it our way.

861
00:48:31,922 --> 00:48:33,042
We'll shout it

862
00:48:33,042 --> 00:48:34,182
out next week.

863
00:48:37,102 --> 00:48:45,762
but on the trump topic we also talked about uh that fusion researcher that was killed

864
00:48:45,762 --> 00:48:54,622
yeah like one of the preeminent experts in fusion technology in the country murdered mit

865
00:48:54,622 --> 00:49:02,742
and then since then now the claim is that the the guy who shot up brown and killed the young

866
00:49:02,742 --> 00:49:10,762
republican leader the uh the girl um then drove and killed this researcher and then proceeded to

867
00:49:10,762 --> 00:49:14,662
drive to a storage container he owned in new hampshire and killed himself in the storage

868
00:49:14,662 --> 00:49:22,422
container which fucking reeks like that is the most ridiculous official story you just rewind

869
00:49:22,422 --> 00:49:28,302
15 seconds and repeat what you just said to make it clear what we're supposed to believe with

870
00:49:28,302 --> 00:49:38,922
that's insane um that does not line up and then on top of that um like this also broke late last

871
00:49:38,922 --> 00:49:50,282
week trump's meme stock company uh that trades under his initials djt djt um is emerging in a

872
00:49:50,282 --> 00:49:57,842
equal parts 50 50 merger with some fusion company um and there'll be the first major public

873
00:49:57,842 --> 00:50:07,002
fusion company and that just i you know i don't i don't pretend that like that means that they're

874
00:50:07,002 --> 00:50:11,262
connected but still like fusion is something that i don't know people talk about in like sci-fi books

875
00:50:11,262 --> 00:50:15,842
and stuff and like rarely comes up and then it just happens to be like the same week that the

876
00:50:15,842 --> 00:50:21,122
head researcher gets killed they decide to basically do a massive pivot on that company

877
00:50:21,122 --> 00:50:27,062
which historically like their biggest holdings have been uh truth social and bitcoin

878
00:50:27,062 --> 00:50:34,702
um yeah that's no like that's not like a small acquisition that is a 50 50 equal parts merger

879
00:50:34,702 --> 00:50:39,922
um to focus on fusion technology in public markets

880
00:50:39,922 --> 00:50:46,722
yeah just reading the tea leaves on x right now president trump acquires holy grail cold fusion

881
00:50:46,722 --> 00:50:51,682
nuclear energy company that is described as a crown jewel confirming our mega prediction from

882
00:50:51,682 --> 00:50:57,902
january that he will become america's first free energy president this is like uh that's what the

883
00:50:57,902 --> 00:51:07,362
uh what were they called again patriots in control where we all go we're one what was that uh

884
00:51:07,362 --> 00:51:19,342
qa i don't know uh qa um try alpha energy it's funny like independently uh my oldest was curious

885
00:51:19,342 --> 00:51:21,962
about nuclear energy, so we went down that rabbit hole together.

886
00:51:22,402 --> 00:51:24,682
Difference between fission and fusion.

887
00:51:29,702 --> 00:51:32,282
Yeah, fusion, obviously, it's one of those things

888
00:51:32,282 --> 00:51:35,422
that's been right around the corner for decades.

889
00:51:35,842 --> 00:51:39,522
But for those who are unaware, fission, nuclear power

890
00:51:39,522 --> 00:51:41,982
is when you split cells and you get a reaction.

891
00:51:42,182 --> 00:51:44,262
Fusion is when you combine them.

892
00:51:45,142 --> 00:51:46,622
Yeah, but the difference is fusion,

893
00:51:46,622 --> 00:51:54,182
if they actually are able to make it happen,

894
00:51:54,682 --> 00:51:58,862
theoretically should be significantly cheaper than fission.

895
00:52:00,242 --> 00:52:01,482
It's much more power dense too.

896
00:52:02,262 --> 00:52:05,382
And historically, among big energy companies,

897
00:52:05,622 --> 00:52:08,662
there's been zero desire to actually have cheaper energy.

898
00:52:09,062 --> 00:52:10,962
But now that AI and Bitcoin exists,

899
00:52:11,042 --> 00:52:13,422
there's actually a direct incentive for cheaper energy.

900
00:52:16,622 --> 00:52:20,802
So if they're going to figure it out, I feel like now they're actually incentivized to do it.

901
00:52:20,802 --> 00:52:27,142
And then there's like a million red flags when the top researcher gets killed in a Jason Bourne movie.

902
00:52:28,582 --> 00:52:32,902
And then the president scoops up the crown jewel of the future.

903
00:52:33,102 --> 00:52:33,762
The same week.

904
00:52:36,142 --> 00:52:37,242
Yeah, it is.

905
00:52:38,462 --> 00:52:40,482
Stay focused for a silver podcast now.

906
00:52:40,562 --> 00:52:43,082
Just make sure you're getting your silver coins.

907
00:52:44,002 --> 00:52:45,062
Stay humble, stack silver.

908
00:52:46,622 --> 00:52:55,722
last but not least on the list our boxing day lists glyphosate

909
00:52:55,722 --> 00:53:04,242
yeah so this was a topic yeah this is a topic that's like is near and dear to my family and

910
00:53:04,242 --> 00:53:08,702
i've been meaning to bring it up in the tail end of our shows and i keep forgetting and then rfk

911
00:53:08,702 --> 00:53:16,442
uh reminded me this week um because he's he's he seems like he's going to war against them which

912
00:53:16,442 --> 00:53:22,722
is fucking awesome um but specifically when we talk about glyphosate we're talking about roundup

913
00:53:22,722 --> 00:53:28,802
we're talking about monsanto's um poison that they spray on crops throughout the world but

914
00:53:28,802 --> 00:53:37,322
very very uh it's very bad in america um and it's crazy to me like all this talk i mean seed oils

915
00:53:37,322 --> 00:53:47,882
are horrible uh vaccine schedule is horrible but this is i i don't understand where the argument

916
00:53:47,882 --> 00:53:53,642
comes from allowing it to happen in the first place or at the very least like at least having

917
00:53:53,642 --> 00:54:00,442
some kind of disclosure um it's really hard if you try and find flour or bread products and stuff it's

918
00:54:00,442 --> 00:54:05,722
really hard to find ones that are glycophate free in america um historically you have to like ship

919
00:54:05,722 --> 00:54:15,822
them from like Austria or random ass countries. Um, and, uh, we actually did find a, we found a

920
00:54:15,822 --> 00:54:21,902
flower producer in Minnesota that is glyphosate free. Um, but this is some like just straight

921
00:54:21,902 --> 00:54:28,462
evil shit and it's horrible for us. And, uh, I'm pretty sure it's what's causing everyone to be

922
00:54:28,462 --> 00:54:35,442
celiac. They think they're sensitive to gluten, but it's really the shit they're spraying on the

923
00:54:35,442 --> 00:54:47,622
wheat um but yeah fuck monsanto and i don't know what i mean you said near near to your heart so

924
00:54:47,622 --> 00:54:53,082
i'm assuming you've observed this in your network but like the amount of people that i know with

925
00:54:53,082 --> 00:55:03,662
celiacs like in my immediate family now is abnormally skyrocketing yeah like my mother-in-law

926
00:55:03,662 --> 00:55:10,662
She's in her seventies and she just developed celiacs in her eighth decade

927
00:55:10,662 --> 00:55:11,122
of life.

928
00:55:12,342 --> 00:55:13,022
I mean,

929
00:55:13,042 --> 00:55:14,082
we're just trying to,

930
00:55:14,202 --> 00:55:17,402
we don't have any celiacs in our immediate family.

931
00:55:17,902 --> 00:55:19,302
My wife bakes.

932
00:55:20,382 --> 00:55:21,482
So she tries,

933
00:55:22,002 --> 00:55:25,322
we try and whatever bread we eat is like bread that she bakes.

934
00:55:25,662 --> 00:55:30,182
But then we went down the rabbit hole of sourcing the flour and,

935
00:55:30,216 --> 00:55:36,676
It's just, to me, this is a tangential rabbit hole along with seed oils and real milk instead

936
00:55:36,676 --> 00:55:40,316
of pasteurized milk and fresh eggs.

937
00:55:40,876 --> 00:55:45,736
But the crazy part about this one is it's just really hard to source.

938
00:55:45,976 --> 00:55:49,976
It's really hard to figure out what has Roundup on it and what doesn't have Roundup on it.

939
00:55:50,216 --> 00:55:54,576
You can get organic stuff, which it doesn't have it on it.

940
00:55:54,876 --> 00:55:58,416
But also like the certification to become organic is insane.

941
00:55:58,416 --> 00:56:10,136
So like you do have farms that are not spraying the shit on their crops, but they're technically not organic because you need to have like farmland that's like lasts for 10 years as organic to get certified.

942
00:56:10,276 --> 00:56:11,536
It's a whole fucking process.

943
00:56:13,736 --> 00:56:20,176
And then I think part of it is calling it glyphosate is also like part of the psyop because it just sounds long and complicated.

944
00:56:20,516 --> 00:56:24,076
Like it's the Monsanto Roundup poison that they're spraying on shit.

945
00:56:24,076 --> 00:56:27,576
the argument for why we need it

946
00:56:27,576 --> 00:56:29,016
is you'll have a crop collapse

947
00:56:29,016 --> 00:56:30,416
because all the bugs will come in

948
00:56:30,416 --> 00:56:32,256
and decimate the crops.

949
00:56:34,716 --> 00:56:35,196
Yeah, presumably

950
00:56:35,196 --> 00:56:36,896
it's a lot cheaper for farmers

951
00:56:36,896 --> 00:56:40,676
in the short term at least.

952
00:56:42,576 --> 00:56:43,016
But I don't know.

953
00:56:43,076 --> 00:56:44,556
This is a big one.

954
00:56:46,536 --> 00:56:47,296
It's a big

955
00:56:47,296 --> 00:56:48,576
non-Bitcoin issue for me.

956
00:56:49,316 --> 00:56:51,316
Yeah, it's essentially just an evolution of DDT

957
00:56:51,316 --> 00:56:52,776
too. I mean, that was

958
00:56:52,776 --> 00:56:59,316
wait if you really want to get out of the rabbit hole and talk about the polio crisis in america

959
00:56:59,316 --> 00:57:07,396
a century ago or however long ago it was when you look at the prevalence of ddt crop dusting

960
00:57:07,396 --> 00:57:15,916
that they aligned pretty pretty well and then when ddt became uh was banned they realized it

961
00:57:15,916 --> 00:57:20,356
was fucking people up and you look at the polio numbers there didn't seem to correlate with the

962
00:57:20,356 --> 00:57:21,536
with the downtrend as well.

963
00:57:21,536 --> 00:57:28,776
And so it seems like Monsanto has found a DDT like chemical,

964
00:57:28,936 --> 00:57:29,936
uh,

965
00:57:30,176 --> 00:57:32,676
that is a bit less intrusive,

966
00:57:32,796 --> 00:57:37,616
but still has terrible effects on your body at the end of the day.

967
00:57:37,676 --> 00:57:38,116
Um,

968
00:57:38,616 --> 00:57:40,316
because from what I understand,

969
00:57:40,396 --> 00:57:40,676
again,

970
00:57:40,736 --> 00:57:41,796
not a medical expert,

971
00:57:42,316 --> 00:57:44,216
but it messes with the,

972
00:57:44,276 --> 00:57:44,536
uh,

973
00:57:45,436 --> 00:57:47,136
the bacteria you've got to the point.

974
00:57:47,196 --> 00:57:50,216
That's why you see celiacs becoming a thing.

975
00:57:50,356 --> 00:57:54,076
because it just completely destroys your gut biome.

976
00:57:55,076 --> 00:58:00,316
It makes you more susceptible to these allergies, if you will.

977
00:58:03,916 --> 00:58:06,096
And then also it finds its way in the water.

978
00:58:07,516 --> 00:58:10,156
So just filter your home water.

979
00:58:11,296 --> 00:58:12,096
Filter your home water.

980
00:58:12,096 --> 00:58:17,416
You want to avoid the glyphosate and the chemical that turns the frogs gay.

981
00:58:17,416 --> 00:58:20,736
which one is that

982
00:58:20,736 --> 00:58:22,176
I forget

983
00:58:22,176 --> 00:58:23,296
I forget what it is

984
00:58:23,296 --> 00:58:24,536
maybe it is glycate too

985
00:58:24,536 --> 00:58:25,916
freaks

986
00:58:25,916 --> 00:58:26,536
I am

987
00:58:26,536 --> 00:58:27,976
the chemical in the water

988
00:58:27,976 --> 00:58:28,716
turning the frogs

989
00:58:28,716 --> 00:58:28,976
yeah

990
00:58:28,976 --> 00:58:31,256
if you reverse osmosis

991
00:58:31,256 --> 00:58:31,776
your water

992
00:58:31,776 --> 00:58:32,616
which is what we do

993
00:58:32,616 --> 00:58:33,596
just remember that

994
00:58:33,596 --> 00:58:35,796
you lose all

995
00:58:35,796 --> 00:58:36,656
all the minerals

996
00:58:36,656 --> 00:58:37,116
so

997
00:58:37,116 --> 00:58:40,736
that's why you go

998
00:58:40,736 --> 00:58:41,276
and buy salt

999
00:58:41,276 --> 00:58:41,736
of the earth

1000
00:58:41,736 --> 00:58:42,356
so then you

1001
00:58:42,356 --> 00:58:45,496
you remineralize it

1002
00:58:45,496 --> 00:58:47,156
use code RHR

1003
00:58:47,156 --> 00:58:50,296
Yeah, you can do it for 15% cheaper if you use the code RHR.

1004
00:58:52,696 --> 00:58:54,696
I see freaks asking.

1005
00:58:56,176 --> 00:59:00,916
I just texted my wife asking what the brand of flower we found in Minnesota was.

1006
00:59:03,856 --> 00:59:07,176
So hopefully she'll get back to me before the end of this episode.

1007
00:59:07,916 --> 00:59:08,176
Wow.

1008
00:59:08,456 --> 00:59:10,396
Look at you not gatekeeping your clean flower.

1009
00:59:10,556 --> 00:59:11,096
I love this.

1010
00:59:11,276 --> 00:59:13,416
Some people out there would say, no, I'm not telling you.

1011
00:59:13,416 --> 00:59:14,276
We need to make sure.

1012
00:59:14,276 --> 00:59:17,536
We got to get them to give us code RHR.

1013
00:59:21,896 --> 00:59:23,776
Is it fluoride that turns the...

1014
00:59:23,776 --> 00:59:25,076
It's atrazine.

1015
00:59:25,336 --> 00:59:26,316
Yep, atrazine.

1016
00:59:27,256 --> 00:59:29,356
It's turning the frogs again.

1017
00:59:30,736 --> 00:59:33,996
The flower producer is called Sunrise Flower Mill.

1018
00:59:36,516 --> 00:59:37,656
Better stock up.

1019
00:59:38,436 --> 00:59:39,416
They're based out of Minnesota.

1020
00:59:40,416 --> 00:59:44,016
Hey, we've been known to run the suppliers dry.

1021
00:59:44,276 --> 00:59:44,656
that we,

1022
00:59:44,756 --> 00:59:44,976
that we,

1023
00:59:44,976 --> 00:59:48,136
they also use heritage grains.

1024
00:59:49,456 --> 00:59:50,956
My lady did her research.

1025
00:59:53,036 --> 00:59:54,896
Use code RHR for no discount.

1026
00:59:57,396 --> 01:00:00,596
Stonehands is saying just order your flour from France where all the shit is

1027
01:00:00,596 --> 01:00:00,936
illegal.

1028
01:00:01,156 --> 01:00:02,136
That's the other crazy part.

1029
01:00:02,416 --> 01:00:05,276
Like a lot of this stuff is like the one thing that Europeans got going for

1030
01:00:05,276 --> 01:00:05,436
them.

1031
01:00:05,596 --> 01:00:05,676
I was,

1032
01:00:05,756 --> 01:00:06,116
I was just,

1033
01:00:06,316 --> 01:00:06,536
too.

1034
01:00:08,956 --> 01:00:09,996
Are we going to save Europe?

1035
01:00:10,076 --> 01:00:11,756
Europe seems to be in a bad spot right now,

1036
01:00:11,776 --> 01:00:11,976
dude.

1037
01:00:11,976 --> 01:00:17,816
my wife says it doesn't have any of this new gmo shit so proud of her

1038
01:00:17,816 --> 01:00:28,256
i um i reached out to one of our friends when we were going down this hole and i was like yeah

1039
01:00:28,256 --> 01:00:32,996
you know like austria band ground up so like austrian flower is good he's like yeah well

1040
01:00:32,996 --> 01:00:40,056
we ban a lot of shit and so that's one of the few things that's a good band it's like okay

1041
01:00:40,056 --> 01:00:47,416
I want to read the

1042
01:00:47,416 --> 01:00:49,816
Venezuelan German thing after this

1043
01:00:49,816 --> 01:00:52,096
you should go look up particularly the reaction

1044
01:00:52,096 --> 01:00:54,176
from European

1045
01:00:54,176 --> 01:00:56,136
officials after the US

1046
01:00:56,136 --> 01:00:57,596
announced that we were sanctioning people

1047
01:00:57,596 --> 01:00:59,616
for trying to

1048
01:00:59,616 --> 01:01:01,776
censor

1049
01:01:01,776 --> 01:01:03,916
American companies there's a full

1050
01:01:03,916 --> 01:01:05,336
propaganda onslaught

1051
01:01:05,336 --> 01:01:07,936
saying that we're infringing on

1052
01:01:07,936 --> 01:01:09,816
the sovereignty of European

1053
01:01:09,816 --> 01:01:11,916
nations who have their hate speech

1054
01:01:11,916 --> 01:01:13,296
laws. They must be respected.

1055
01:01:14,816 --> 01:01:15,756
Do you see this comment

1056
01:01:15,756 --> 01:01:16,416
in

1057
01:01:16,416 --> 01:01:20,016
Primal

1058
01:01:20,016 --> 01:01:21,816
from Stonehenge? Why

1059
01:01:21,816 --> 01:01:23,716
does Sauté use natural flavor?

1060
01:01:23,936 --> 01:01:25,856
Not good? What does that

1061
01:01:25,856 --> 01:01:26,096
mean?

1062
01:01:28,036 --> 01:01:29,796
Natural flavor? I've talked to Sean about

1063
01:01:29,796 --> 01:01:31,376
this. My wife, that was his one question.

1064
01:01:31,716 --> 01:01:34,076
I think she had the skepticism

1065
01:01:34,076 --> 01:01:35,496
that you're showing Stonehenge.

1066
01:01:35,936 --> 01:01:36,976
It's basically a

1067
01:01:37,936 --> 01:01:40,516
stevia, I believe

1068
01:01:40,516 --> 01:01:42,276
they use for flavors of sugar.

1069
01:01:42,656 --> 01:01:44,376
And then natural coloring

1070
01:01:44,376 --> 01:01:46,836
like carrot and beets

1071
01:01:46,836 --> 01:01:47,936
is what they use for carrot

1072
01:01:47,936 --> 01:01:48,936
coloring.

1073
01:01:50,676 --> 01:01:51,796
Stonans, you can

1074
01:01:51,796 --> 01:01:55,816
write a note and tag

1075
01:01:55,816 --> 01:01:56,656
salt of the earth, salt of the

1076
01:01:56,656 --> 01:01:57,936
duster. They're there.

1077
01:01:58,396 --> 01:01:58,796
Active.

1078
01:02:00,016 --> 01:02:01,216
Puts the pressure on them.

1079
01:02:02,216 --> 01:02:03,176
Two questions.

1080
01:02:07,936 --> 01:02:10,896
It looks like Laurel in the comments found it.

1081
01:02:10,956 --> 01:02:14,576
Yeah, it's sunriseflourmill.com where we get our flour.

1082
01:02:17,196 --> 01:02:21,296
You know, I mean, of course you can import from out of country,

1083
01:02:21,476 --> 01:02:23,396
but I'd rather buy American.

1084
01:02:23,876 --> 01:02:26,216
They really fucked up our food in this country, man.

1085
01:02:26,996 --> 01:02:28,956
It should be way more of a controversy.

1086
01:02:30,756 --> 01:02:35,116
The great betrayal of American citizens is our food supply.

1087
01:02:35,116 --> 01:02:37,636
We're the breadbasket of the world.

1088
01:02:37,936 --> 01:02:39,356
Should have the best food in the world.

1089
01:02:41,176 --> 01:02:42,196
We'll get back to it.

1090
01:02:42,716 --> 01:02:43,396
We can always return.

1091
01:02:43,476 --> 01:02:44,436
You see this guy?

1092
01:02:44,876 --> 01:02:47,636
No scientific evidence Roundup is bad for you.

1093
01:02:47,736 --> 01:02:48,936
Stick to the Bitcoin expertise.

1094
01:02:49,376 --> 01:02:51,616
We found the Roundup Defender.

1095
01:02:52,436 --> 01:02:53,056
They exist.

1096
01:02:54,056 --> 01:02:56,916
We found Big Roundup in the live chat.

1097
01:02:58,756 --> 01:02:59,996
Maybe he's a farmer.

1098
01:03:00,836 --> 01:03:01,896
I give him a gun for the doubt.

1099
01:03:01,896 --> 01:03:08,896
no scientific evidence

1100
01:03:08,896 --> 01:03:17,496
what do you guys think chat

1101
01:03:17,496 --> 01:03:19,176
are we uh

1102
01:03:19,176 --> 01:03:21,216
are we spreading conspiracy theories here

1103
01:03:21,216 --> 01:03:23,236
what

1104
01:03:23,236 --> 01:03:27,156
yeah yeah chat

1105
01:03:27,156 --> 01:03:28,956
we gotta start out like if we actually want to blow up

1106
01:03:28,956 --> 01:03:30,876
we gotta start asking we gotta say hey chat

1107
01:03:30,876 --> 01:03:31,536
what do you think

1108
01:03:31,896 --> 01:03:39,036
I think it's pretty simple.

1109
01:03:40,436 --> 01:03:43,616
Food was food and it worked well for more.

1110
01:03:44,736 --> 01:03:48,496
Just because a company with perverse economic incentives

1111
01:03:48,496 --> 01:03:53,676
created some chemical that kills bugs on site,

1112
01:03:58,216 --> 01:04:01,336
you're literally spraying chemicals on food.

1113
01:04:01,896 --> 01:04:02,916
Do you want this?

1114
01:04:02,916 --> 01:04:07,076
Yeah, I mean, I think the burden of proof

1115
01:04:07,076 --> 01:04:08,396
should be on the opposite side.

1116
01:04:08,816 --> 01:04:11,016
We shouldn't have to wait 30 years

1117
01:04:11,016 --> 01:04:12,976
to prove chemicals are bad for you.

1118
01:04:15,176 --> 01:04:17,176
As Marty said, we should assume the chemicals

1119
01:04:17,176 --> 01:04:19,116
that are designed to kill things, kill things,

1120
01:04:20,056 --> 01:04:21,196
unless proven otherwise.

1121
01:04:22,296 --> 01:04:22,436
Yeah.

1122
01:04:25,856 --> 01:04:31,096
Yon80 in the chat is making a lot of sense here.

1123
01:04:31,096 --> 01:04:32,676
Mono cropping is the issue.

1124
01:04:32,836 --> 01:04:33,756
It is like the big issue.

1125
01:04:33,876 --> 01:04:34,696
I think it's monocropping.

1126
01:04:34,696 --> 01:04:35,496
Yeah, that's another one.

1127
01:04:35,736 --> 01:04:35,876
Yep.

1128
01:04:37,416 --> 01:04:38,576
I forget.

1129
01:04:38,716 --> 01:04:41,036
It was on Prime many years ago.

1130
01:04:42,036 --> 01:04:56,088
We bought it I figure it out Try to remember to post it But there was a documentary on this family This guy was in private equity quit his job and then started a family farm in California

1131
01:04:56,088 --> 01:04:58,568
that was completely decimated by monocropping,

1132
01:04:58,688 --> 01:04:59,448
slowly but surely.

1133
01:05:00,548 --> 01:05:02,048
Over the course of five years,

1134
01:05:02,048 --> 01:05:06,808
they diversified the soil and the crops of the land.

1135
01:05:06,928 --> 01:05:09,288
They introduced ducks, snails, all this stuff.

1136
01:05:09,288 --> 01:05:10,988
and

1137
01:05:10,988 --> 01:05:13,948
have a thriving farm in California

1138
01:05:13,948 --> 01:05:15,648
that has no bug issues. It's all about

1139
01:05:15,648 --> 01:05:16,808
the biodiversity.

1140
01:05:18,068 --> 01:05:19,548
We need to get back to that. Shout out to

1141
01:05:19,548 --> 01:05:20,428
Joel Salatin

1142
01:05:20,428 --> 01:05:23,648
and others that are really pushing

1143
01:05:23,648 --> 01:05:25,628
this regenerative farming thing. That's the other thing too.

1144
01:05:26,348 --> 01:05:27,728
Not only is it good for the food

1145
01:05:27,728 --> 01:05:29,708
and for that farm specifically,

1146
01:05:29,908 --> 01:05:31,788
but I'm a big believer in greening

1147
01:05:31,788 --> 01:05:33,328
the earth with thriving cattle.

1148
01:05:33,608 --> 01:05:34,628
Regenerative farming to

1149
01:05:34,628 --> 01:05:37,168
turn dust land into

1150
01:05:37,168 --> 01:05:40,368
green pastures.

1151
01:05:40,868 --> 01:05:41,668
We can do it.

1152
01:05:42,448 --> 01:05:44,488
It just takes a little. We probably have to get all these

1153
01:05:44,488 --> 01:05:46,408
regulations out of the way.

1154
01:05:46,628 --> 01:05:48,868
And part of doing that is going to

1155
01:05:48,868 --> 01:05:51,128
make it so

1156
01:05:51,128 --> 01:05:52,968
companies like Monsanto can't create these

1157
01:05:52,968 --> 01:05:53,748
regulatory modes

1158
01:05:53,748 --> 01:05:55,868
and fund

1159
01:05:55,868 --> 01:05:59,208
misinformation

1160
01:05:59,208 --> 01:06:01,108
purveyors to go into YouTube live

1161
01:06:01,108 --> 01:06:03,188
chats to defend

1162
01:06:03,188 --> 01:06:04,248
big Monsanto.

1163
01:06:07,168 --> 01:06:11,348
I mean I kind of love the diversity

1164
01:06:11,348 --> 01:06:12,048
of the freaks

1165
01:06:12,048 --> 01:06:13,848
at least we got one

1166
01:06:13,848 --> 01:06:15,908
I think it's a positive

1167
01:06:15,908 --> 01:06:17,988
but still fuck Monsanto

1168
01:06:17,988 --> 01:06:19,888
that's a great question here

1169
01:06:19,888 --> 01:06:22,368
why does Monsanto make aluminum resistant seeds

1170
01:06:22,368 --> 01:06:25,408
I got a theory

1171
01:06:25,408 --> 01:06:26,548
I got a theory

1172
01:06:26,548 --> 01:06:29,168
they're spraying aluminum

1173
01:06:29,168 --> 01:06:33,988
yeah support your

1174
01:06:33,988 --> 01:06:36,548
support local farmers

1175
01:06:36,548 --> 01:06:37,428
that do it the right way.

1176
01:06:37,928 --> 01:06:40,088
I feel like that's the easiest win.

1177
01:06:41,248 --> 01:06:42,648
That's what we've got to farm around the corner

1178
01:06:42,648 --> 01:06:44,068
that does a summer camp.

1179
01:06:44,268 --> 01:06:45,188
My niece did last year,

1180
01:06:45,288 --> 01:06:46,528
and our oldest will do this year.

1181
01:06:46,708 --> 01:06:50,048
I actually jacked for him to go to farm camp.

1182
01:06:51,368 --> 01:06:52,088
That's cool.

1183
01:06:53,088 --> 01:06:53,348
Yeah.

1184
01:06:54,148 --> 01:06:55,068
I like that.

1185
01:06:55,368 --> 01:06:55,948
That's a good idea.

1186
01:06:59,068 --> 01:06:59,848
Yeah, Hawk.

1187
01:06:59,848 --> 01:07:05,748
We have a friend that sends their oldest

1188
01:07:05,748 --> 01:07:12,608
to farm school um which if we don't homeschool i think is a pretty cool option but we're some years

1189
01:07:12,608 --> 01:07:24,548
away would you would you want your uh your children to raise the the fattest pig or

1190
01:07:24,548 --> 01:07:31,428
the uh the strongest goat be able to do us like that's what you're doing here at a farm school

1191
01:07:31,428 --> 01:07:36,608
right you pick an animal and you i don't know i don't know how it works specifically but we went

1192
01:07:36,608 --> 01:07:43,068
to one of their open houses uh and the core of it is that there's just like animals just like

1193
01:07:43,068 --> 01:07:50,148
free roaming around the children um goats and horses and cows and chickens and shit

1194
01:07:50,148 --> 01:07:58,348
yeah my niece came home from farm camp last last year and a hawk had gotten to the the chicken coop

1195
01:07:58,348 --> 01:08:01,048
and she had to learn the hard lesson

1196
01:08:01,048 --> 01:08:02,888
up close and personal in the circle of life.

1197
01:08:06,048 --> 01:08:06,988
It's the reality.

1198
01:08:07,868 --> 01:08:08,028
Yeah.

1199
01:08:12,448 --> 01:08:13,328
All right, what else we got?

1200
01:08:13,448 --> 01:08:14,288
Is Bitcoin okay?

1201
01:08:14,428 --> 01:08:15,428
Are we ever going to talk about Bitcoin?

1202
01:08:17,668 --> 01:08:18,628
Bitcoin's doing great.

1203
01:08:19,288 --> 01:08:26,368
I think this moment is why we Bitcoin.

1204
01:08:26,368 --> 01:08:33,268
just complete chaos in global markets. Bitcoin is the ultimate safe haven. I think

1205
01:08:33,268 --> 01:08:43,488
2026 is lining up to be a huge, massive year for Bitcoin or the opposite. I don't know.

1206
01:08:45,188 --> 01:08:51,128
I'm hedging myself. I don't know. I feel like Bitcoin is going to crush it in 2026.

1207
01:08:51,128 --> 01:08:55,268
and the world's going to start to wake up to bitcoin as the true safe haven

1208
01:08:55,268 --> 01:08:57,128
freedom money for the world

1209
01:08:57,128 --> 01:09:02,968
i'm calling a super bear cycle we're going to like 45k

1210
01:09:02,968 --> 01:09:06,168
we're getting cheap thank you we can't both be bullish

1211
01:09:06,168 --> 01:09:09,988
otherwise we're fucked what happened to super cycle bro

1212
01:09:09,988 --> 01:09:13,908
what i need a super cycle it is it's just going the other way

1213
01:09:13,908 --> 01:09:17,548
this is a super down cycle yeah

1214
01:09:17,548 --> 01:09:27,488
i would just say like you know i like gold jewelry gold is uh lindy it's been around for a while

1215
01:09:27,488 --> 01:09:33,128
but like silver ripping against bitcoin is like the biggest fucking kick in the nuts

1216
01:09:33,128 --> 01:09:40,108
it's such it's the that one that one hurts way more um

1217
01:09:40,108 --> 01:09:45,648
so we'll see how that goes but i think that's part of the reason i think

1218
01:09:45,648 --> 01:09:49,608
that's part of the reason for the negative sentiment we see right now, even though Bitcoin's

1219
01:09:49,608 --> 01:09:58,028
at 88k. But the other piece that it's constantly worth mentioning is we're 35% from all-time highs,

1220
01:09:58,948 --> 01:10:03,848
something like that. It was only like 80 days ago that we were at the all-time high.

1221
01:10:04,668 --> 01:10:09,108
Wow. So sentiment shouldn't be that bad right now. But you have to remember that

1222
01:10:09,108 --> 01:10:13,748
a lot of people aped into the leveraged Bitcoin stocks,

1223
01:10:14,128 --> 01:10:17,188
and those are down like 95%.

1224
01:10:17,188 --> 01:10:22,548
And so that's obviously taken a massive toll on sentiment

1225
01:10:22,548 --> 01:10:24,208
for anyone who did that.

1226
01:10:26,268 --> 01:10:29,468
I think the silver market's liking that we transition

1227
01:10:29,468 --> 01:10:30,268
to a silver show.

1228
01:10:30,348 --> 01:10:33,148
Silver at a new all-time high, $77.41.

1229
01:10:34,108 --> 01:10:36,908
Yeah, you see this guy, Count Trumpula,

1230
01:10:36,908 --> 01:10:38,688
in the YouTube comments.

1231
01:10:39,108 --> 01:10:41,088
saying silver is indicating a massive issue.

1232
01:10:41,168 --> 01:10:42,668
The economy has months at best.

1233
01:10:43,128 --> 01:10:45,768
It's like that's where I keep flip-flopping between the two.

1234
01:10:45,928 --> 01:10:48,868
It's like silver, gold, rip first, then Bitcoin.

1235
01:10:49,188 --> 01:10:52,068
And then US government prints, you know,

1236
01:10:52,108 --> 01:10:54,708
like we print a shit ton of fucking money going into midterms

1237
01:10:54,708 --> 01:10:58,788
and Bitcoin just rips people's faces off.

1238
01:11:01,828 --> 01:11:03,628
We just have an insane bull run.

1239
01:11:03,628 --> 01:11:09,228
or we're living in a global depression.

1240
01:11:09,468 --> 01:11:16,108
This is like the fucking last pumps of a dying economy

1241
01:11:16,108 --> 01:11:19,008
and Bitcoin has a hard ride for the next few years.

1242
01:11:19,008 --> 01:11:25,668
But either way, I'm just going to remain all in

1243
01:11:25,668 --> 01:11:27,528
and stay on Blinstaqsats.

1244
01:11:27,708 --> 01:11:29,488
I just don't know what other option I have.

1245
01:11:30,748 --> 01:11:32,388
It seems like the best path forward.

1246
01:11:32,388 --> 01:11:34,568
I don't know if we're just

1247
01:11:34,568 --> 01:11:38,168
maybe the silver squeeze

1248
01:11:38,168 --> 01:11:39,528
the gold squeeze is a play

1249
01:11:39,528 --> 01:11:40,268
that's what's happening

1250
01:11:40,268 --> 01:11:42,068
we're going to a new paradigm

1251
01:11:42,068 --> 01:11:44,868
where we break out of the atmosphere

1252
01:11:44,868 --> 01:11:46,488
where it was the

1253
01:11:46,488 --> 01:11:49,388
the bounds of space

1254
01:11:49,388 --> 01:11:50,908
a new paradigm forever

1255
01:11:50,908 --> 01:11:52,068
but if you just look at the chart

1256
01:11:52,068 --> 01:11:53,368
I've got it up on trading view right now

1257
01:11:53,368 --> 01:11:54,188
silver particularly

1258
01:11:54,188 --> 01:11:54,928
it's just like

1259
01:11:54,928 --> 01:11:55,888
it looks like

1260
01:11:55,888 --> 01:11:57,508
a 2017

1261
01:11:57,508 --> 01:11:58,908
bitcoin chart

1262
01:11:58,908 --> 01:11:59,648
we all know

1263
01:11:59,648 --> 01:12:00,728
it looks like a meme coin

1264
01:12:00,728 --> 01:12:02,308
that's what I was saying

1265
01:12:02,308 --> 01:12:11,008
um it's a pretty crazy chart silver specifically even gold is a crazy chart because you when you

1266
01:12:11,008 --> 01:12:17,608
realize how much value that is in a nominal sense it's insane but silver just as from a pure chart

1267
01:12:17,608 --> 01:12:26,188
view is just straight up fucking crazy like purely parabolic um and then the other thing that's crazy

1268
01:12:26,188 --> 01:12:35,568
is our largest investment at 1031 is Strike. And I'm heavily involved in the day-to-day over there.

1269
01:12:35,708 --> 01:12:41,248
The numbers at Strike are incredibly bullish. It's crazy volume numbers.

1270
01:12:44,068 --> 01:12:47,968
If you looked at that alone, you'd be like, Bitcoin adoption is in full swing.

1271
01:12:48,908 --> 01:12:52,628
And it's pretty crazy. You don't see that in mempools. You don't see that in the price chart.

1272
01:12:52,628 --> 01:13:00,888
um and so weird it's a weird contradiction maybe it's just maybe it's a leading indicator maybe

1273
01:13:00,888 --> 01:13:04,428
gold and silver pumping is a leading indicator i like that theory too that

1274
01:13:04,428 --> 01:13:12,868
gold gold pumps first then bitcoin um but and it's like i mean we've been around the block

1275
01:13:12,868 --> 01:13:17,688
so what bitcoin does it lulls you to a state of complacency gets you all pissed off gets you

1276
01:13:17,688 --> 01:13:24,648
thinking about your life's decisions where it went wrong and then it surprises you what's your

1277
01:13:24,648 --> 01:13:32,668
yeah it's waiting for you the person listening right now fomoing into gold rotating your entire

1278
01:13:32,668 --> 01:13:39,768
your entire stack into silver or whatever um once you do that it'll reverse that's when we start

1279
01:13:39,768 --> 01:13:46,448
ripping so good to do your part we're a silver podcast now yeah that's i see a lot of hopeful

1280
01:13:46,448 --> 01:13:50,908
ardent bitcoin holders in the live shot you need to do your parts to

1281
01:13:50,908 --> 01:13:57,628
help turn this more i'm kidding kidding but uh stay sane out there it's a thick

1282
01:13:57,628 --> 01:14:11,000
crazy times yeah a lot to be optimistic about though Do you have any predictions for 2026 This is kind of our New Year episode too right

1283
01:14:11,060 --> 01:14:11,720
This is our New Year's?

1284
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:12,360
Yeah.

1285
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:14,020
It'll be 2026.

1286
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,840
The next time it's our last 2026 predictions.

1287
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:18,200
Wow.

1288
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:20,480
Put me on the spot there.

1289
01:14:23,700 --> 01:14:24,600
Bitcoin related.

1290
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,560
I think

1291
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:33,580
Bitcoin related

1292
01:14:43,580 --> 01:14:45,260
I'm so bad at this

1293
01:14:45,260 --> 01:14:51,240
You see Helen in Primal Chat

1294
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:52,900
2026 is the great reset

1295
01:14:52,900 --> 01:15:01,480
it's great reset uh 2026 prediction bitcoin it was it will continue to produce blocks and enable

1296
01:15:01,480 --> 01:15:06,740
peer-to-peer distributed cash transactions that's a shitty prediction it will you're right

1297
01:15:06,740 --> 01:15:14,340
i have a better question for you marty do we do we hit a new all-time high priced in dollars

1298
01:15:14,340 --> 01:15:16,960
so do we pass 126k

1299
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:18,860
in 2026

1300
01:15:18,860 --> 01:15:23,680
you answer then I'll answer

1301
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,660
yes I think so

1302
01:15:25,660 --> 01:15:27,240
I think so too

1303
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,280
do you think we pass a new all time high priced

1304
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:30,160
in gold

1305
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,000
in 2026

1306
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:33,960
what do we need to get to

1307
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:35,140
where is your chart

1308
01:15:35,140 --> 01:15:35,780
I have no idea

1309
01:15:35,780 --> 01:15:39,240
what was the ratio like 23

1310
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,740
just pull up trading view right now

1311
01:15:41,740 --> 01:15:44,080
bitcoin

1312
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:46,920
to gold.

1313
01:15:53,100 --> 01:15:54,320
I think, well,

1314
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:01,320
Bitcoin gold

1315
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:02,380
all-time high

1316
01:16:02,380 --> 01:16:04,960
is

1317
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,640
40 ounces.

1318
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:07,600
Like 30-something ounces per coins?

1319
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,280
40 ounces, 40.2 ounces per coins.

1320
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:11,260
And what are we at right now?

1321
01:16:11,260 --> 01:16:24,280
we are at 21.9 or excuse me 19.3 gold terms over yes yes or no do we hit an all-time high of

1322
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:30,880
greater than 40 ounces in gold for for bitcoin so i'll say

1323
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:39,320
2026 2026 maybe not 2026 that's the thing i've gone back and forth in my mind like every like

1324
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:47,680
Just going back to 2008 Marty, 2013 Marty, 2017 Marty, now I'm in my mid-30s.

1325
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,720
I've been here before where it's like it's happening.

1326
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,440
The global financial system is unraveling.

1327
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:53,980
Get on the note now.

1328
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,080
The squeeze is here.

1329
01:16:56,700 --> 01:16:57,500
Bitcoin's ripping.

1330
01:16:58,060 --> 01:16:59,760
Like it just could be wrong.

1331
01:16:59,860 --> 01:17:00,720
Maybe it is happening.

1332
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,480
There is going to be a point when it happens.

1333
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:04,540
Maybe it's right now.

1334
01:17:05,300 --> 01:17:06,180
Is this a long no?

1335
01:17:06,180 --> 01:17:12,460
the pattern recognition in me is like gold and silver everybody's like get on board

1336
01:17:12,460 --> 01:17:19,620
they're they're going back to gold standard uh silver currency system like it's happening

1337
01:17:19,620 --> 01:17:26,640
we're sending shipping containers full of nickels to to panama to prepare for the great reset

1338
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:33,840
and uh it's typically at these moments when uh the bubble gets deflated and so i would say there's a

1339
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:39,360
possibility if the price of gold comes down let's say like 3 000 we have a 50 drop in gold

1340
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:49,640
next year bitcoin rips and yeah maybe we get above so yes or no marty so 40 times 3 000

1341
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:56,440
40 ounces per bitcoin do we pass 40 ounces per bitcoin 40 ounces of gold per bitcoin in 2026

1342
01:17:56,440 --> 01:18:07,220
no no okay i'm gonna go with yes and then what's the silver bitcoin all-time high

1343
01:18:07,220 --> 01:18:11,780
bitcoin price and silver do you think we passed that in 2026

1344
01:18:11,780 --> 01:18:14,680
are we already past that

1345
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:25,740
All-time high was

1346
01:18:25,740 --> 01:18:28,1000
3,548.

1347
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,520
We're currently at 1,126.

1348
01:18:35,100 --> 01:18:36,840
What else is a silver per Bitcoin?

1349
01:18:38,940 --> 01:18:42,080
High was in January of this year.

1350
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,180
It's crazy to think.

1351
01:18:43,180 --> 01:18:48,820
we're down uh relatively recent okay so do we take it do we overtake it again

1352
01:18:48,820 --> 01:18:53,720
do we overtake it again all-time high in silver price and silver this year 2026

1353
01:18:53,720 --> 01:19:02,240
well our new uh silver you had yes you had yes for fiat i had yes for fiat you had no for gold

1354
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:11,160
i had yes for gold what about now no this is a 2027 2028 yeah absolutely yes yes yes for

1355
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,760
Bitcoin priced in silver all time high this year.

1356
01:19:16,380 --> 01:19:16,860
Okay.

1357
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:19,020
Wow.

1358
01:19:19,220 --> 01:19:20,380
Marty's bearish, man.

1359
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:22,1000
Bearish going into 2026.

1360
01:19:23,020 --> 01:19:24,940
Bearish, maybe sober analysis.

1361
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:26,1000
Just looking at it.

1362
01:19:27,480 --> 01:19:28,460
Sober analysis.

1363
01:19:28,660 --> 01:19:32,180
Earlier this year, you were just yelling super cycling God candle at all of us.

1364
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,220
Our silver listeners are not happy right now.

1365
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:36,900
Silver is outperforming almost everything.

1366
01:19:37,100 --> 01:19:37,540
Garbage.

1367
01:19:37,820 --> 01:19:38,960
Laugh my ass off.

1368
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:40,1000
I don't think that's a silver listening.

1369
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:44,720
oh is he upset that we called it garbage

1370
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:45,660
yeah

1371
01:19:45,660 --> 01:19:47,1000
silver is garbage

1372
01:19:47,1000 --> 01:19:51,380
I'm sorry that that hurts your feelings

1373
01:19:51,380 --> 01:19:54,680
your feelings are really going to be hurting out

1374
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:56,740
because Roycer just zapped us 21,000 sats

1375
01:19:56,740 --> 01:19:58,700
silver can squeeze these nuts

1376
01:19:58,700 --> 01:20:00,640
yeah you can't do that with silver

1377
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:05,580
then there's another 21,000 sats

1378
01:20:05,580 --> 01:20:06,740
right above that

1379
01:20:06,740 --> 01:20:08,360
stack sats star states

1380
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:09,960
Bitcoin is the most accessible way

1381
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,380
accessible way to start the state.

1382
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:13,780
It's your best protest.

1383
01:20:14,580 --> 01:20:16,580
Thank you, Freaks, for supporting the show.

1384
01:20:17,1000 --> 01:20:20,860
Okay, last price-related prediction,

1385
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:23,640
since, I don't know, price is an easy metric

1386
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:24,1000
to base predictions on.

1387
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:31,800
Do we go under 80K in 2026?

1388
01:20:36,340 --> 01:20:36,860
No.

1389
01:20:37,380 --> 01:20:39,440
Which is the low we hit?

1390
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:40,600
recently.

1391
01:20:41,860 --> 01:20:43,080
No, I don't think so.

1392
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:45,320
Interesting.

1393
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:48,780
I think we're at peak.

1394
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:49,900
Actually, who knows?

1395
01:20:50,580 --> 01:20:53,960
I'm going to go with yes, we go under 80K in 2026.

1396
01:20:54,120 --> 01:21:00,080
But then after that, we breach all-time highs in gold, silver, and dollars.

1397
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:08,840
I think just not enough pain.

1398
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:14,780
I don't know. There's a lot of pain out there. People are very, very dejected right now.

1399
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,680
I think the knife needs to be twisted a little bit.

1400
01:21:21,740 --> 01:21:23,420
They think they're in pain. They don't feel real.

1401
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:28,100
They need to, that guy, like Paul, listening to the show right now,

1402
01:21:28,180 --> 01:21:31,920
needs to rotate his stock from Bitcoin into gold before he turn around.

1403
01:21:32,980 --> 01:21:37,240
And like, that's going to take a little dumpage.

1404
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,940
you shared an article this morning

1405
01:21:40,940 --> 01:21:42,760
where some guy rotated into like world coin

1406
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,040
and stacks because

1407
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,820
yeah but who's that that's just some schmuck

1408
01:21:46,820 --> 01:21:47,980
that's just some random person

1409
01:21:47,980 --> 01:21:54,600
yeah I mean he also rotated into ETFs

1410
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,100
it's a weird time it's a very weird

1411
01:21:57,100 --> 01:22:00,720
I think now more than ever

1412
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:02,660
it's important to hold self custody of bitcoin

1413
01:22:02,660 --> 01:22:05,440
so don't rotate into ETFs either

1414
01:22:05,440 --> 01:22:06,600
you're just rugging yourself

1415
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:08,620
if you already know how to self-custode Bitcoin

1416
01:22:08,620 --> 01:22:09,820
don't do that

1417
01:22:09,820 --> 01:22:12,200
I think next year is going to be like

1418
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:14,880
barn burner for the economy

1419
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:16,620
I think everybody's like oh we're going

1420
01:22:16,620 --> 01:22:17,300
like I think

1421
01:22:17,300 --> 01:22:21,320
I think things are going to be good

1422
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,180
just anecdotally

1423
01:22:23,180 --> 01:22:24,540
have you seen gas prices?

1424
01:22:26,020 --> 01:22:28,860
I got under $3 a gallon here

1425
01:22:28,860 --> 01:22:30,660
in the Philly area

1426
01:22:30,660 --> 01:22:33,060
which is like the first time I've seen that in quite a while

1427
01:22:33,060 --> 01:22:38,080
I don't know the eggs

1428
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:39,540
like the grocery bills

1429
01:22:39,540 --> 01:22:40,420
haven't been as bad

1430
01:22:40,420 --> 01:22:41,420
as they were

1431
01:22:41,420 --> 01:22:42,260
a year or two ago

1432
01:22:42,260 --> 01:22:43,720
as bad

1433
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:44,740
not that they're great

1434
01:22:44,740 --> 01:22:45,220
but

1435
01:22:45,220 --> 01:22:48,880
I think vibe coding is

1436
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:52,020
who cares about gas prices

1437
01:22:52,020 --> 01:22:52,440
I don't know

1438
01:22:52,440 --> 01:22:53,160
do you have a car

1439
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:54,020
do you drive

1440
01:22:54,020 --> 01:22:56,220
do you have to get to work

1441
01:22:56,220 --> 01:22:57,560
do you see his comment

1442
01:22:57,560 --> 01:22:58,220
above that too

1443
01:22:58,220 --> 01:22:59,120
I literally sold her

1444
01:22:59,120 --> 01:22:59,900
with silver every day

1445
01:22:59,900 --> 01:23:00,440
it's garbage

1446
01:23:00,440 --> 01:23:09,900
but we can make predictions we can try to do it i think getting back to basics one of the best

1447
01:23:09,900 --> 01:23:15,820
pieces of devices that we give stay humble stack sats thank you matt odell for coming up with that

1448
01:23:15,820 --> 01:23:25,112
term very punchy but it just like focus on what you can control make sure you making money You spending less than you make in your stackings That like who cares

1449
01:23:26,292 --> 01:23:28,252
And learn real skills

1450
01:23:28,252 --> 01:23:30,232
and move out of cities

1451
01:23:30,232 --> 01:23:33,572
and

1452
01:23:33,572 --> 01:23:36,212
raise strong

1453
01:23:36,212 --> 01:23:36,732
families.

1454
01:23:38,772 --> 01:23:40,272
I've been saying this since

1455
01:23:40,272 --> 01:23:42,152
before you chose to, and

1456
01:23:42,152 --> 01:23:44,252
when you were considering it, I even

1457
01:23:44,252 --> 01:23:46,012
preemptively re-mentioned it.

1458
01:23:46,192 --> 01:24:01,012
So no, it's not a dick. You had your reasons, but maybe it's confirming my biases, but everything I see is mandibles than Bitcoin standard.

1459
01:24:03,152 --> 01:24:15,992
It's such a weird situation, right? Because intuitively, you think if the economy is bad, asset prices go down, but not in a hyperinflationary environment.

1460
01:24:16,192 --> 01:24:24,232
not as in as inflation rips we crash up um so it's a weird thing to navigate because it's not

1461
01:24:24,232 --> 01:24:28,392
you know oh i'll just i'll sell for dollars and keep it in my bank account and then i have you

1462
01:24:28,392 --> 01:24:34,352
know um money to spend on things you can't do that if you do that you get absolutely wrecked

1463
01:24:34,352 --> 01:24:39,832
um so i think most people are not prepared for it it does even if you're paying attention it's

1464
01:24:39,832 --> 01:24:43,892
hard to be prepared for it because it's counterintuitive in that way and then second of

1465
01:24:43,892 --> 01:24:49,092
when you're in dense population centers as that's happening i think it's going to be quite chaotic

1466
01:24:49,092 --> 01:24:56,632
and we're going to see you know a lot of the social fabric that we've taken for granted to

1467
01:24:56,632 --> 01:24:59,892
kind of get ripped apart and we've seen the early days of that in a lot of ways

1468
01:24:59,892 --> 01:25:05,572
it's kind of just festering under the surfaces so if you can afford to consider moving out of large

1469
01:25:05,572 --> 01:25:13,612
cities uh in 2026 yeah i think i think we're gonna have a good year i think paris are going

1470
01:25:13,612 --> 01:25:22,952
turn out to be incredible i think having used it like i think ai is going to be an unlock not like

1471
01:25:22,952 --> 01:25:28,292
a productivity miracle or whatever i think we're building in america again i mean you're you're

1472
01:25:28,292 --> 01:25:36,412
talking about minnesota flower farms that we're buying our our glyphosate free grain from it's

1473
01:25:36,412 --> 01:25:42,452
happening we're gonna work hey positive vibes we're gonna win we're gonna get through this

1474
01:25:42,912 --> 01:25:44,332
Bitcoin's going to have a massive year.

1475
01:25:44,852 --> 01:25:49,212
Infrastructure is going to improve dramatically as well.

1476
01:25:49,932 --> 01:25:51,012
Have you seen our boy Rob Hamilton?

1477
01:25:51,132 --> 01:25:52,012
He's not in the chat today.

1478
01:25:52,152 --> 01:25:52,912
I wonder where he is.

1479
01:25:53,832 --> 01:25:56,792
But he's vibe coding some Bitcoin wallet apps.

1480
01:25:58,772 --> 01:25:59,932
There's an unlock there.

1481
01:26:00,612 --> 01:26:03,972
Our boy Matt made the SATS card mobile wallet.

1482
01:26:05,332 --> 01:26:08,212
I doubt he didn't use some vibe coding help there.

1483
01:26:08,212 --> 01:26:13,952
building hard infrastructure giga just opened up a houston

1484
01:26:13,952 --> 01:26:18,112
factory looking transformers hey we need a lot more energy

1485
01:26:18,112 --> 01:26:22,792
1031s back in the companies building the uh the critical infrastructure

1486
01:26:22,792 --> 01:26:26,772
you can build a generation facility but can you actually transform

1487
01:26:26,772 --> 01:26:33,172
electricity and send it to places in a manageable way you need transformers you don't think they're

1488
01:26:33,172 --> 01:26:36,712
You don't think they're going to print like crazy this year?

1489
01:26:39,072 --> 01:26:40,352
Into the midterms?

1490
01:26:41,432 --> 01:26:42,112
Probably.

1491
01:26:42,812 --> 01:26:43,392
For me, Thomas.

1492
01:26:45,332 --> 01:26:49,072
Do you think grocery prices go up or down in 2026?

1493
01:26:54,472 --> 01:26:55,152
Flat.

1494
01:26:55,532 --> 01:26:55,812
Flat.

1495
01:26:56,472 --> 01:26:56,952
Flat.

1496
01:26:57,952 --> 01:26:59,712
Have you seen the egg price?

1497
01:26:59,712 --> 01:27:03,072
Egg prices are down like 80% year on year right now.

1498
01:27:03,172 --> 01:27:07,952
Dude, the grocery prices are insane.

1499
01:27:09,792 --> 01:27:10,872
They're still insane.

1500
01:27:11,412 --> 01:27:13,012
Maybe they've flattened a bit.

1501
01:27:13,632 --> 01:27:15,072
They've definitely not gone down.

1502
01:27:17,892 --> 01:27:19,972
We definitely have some newbies in the chat.

1503
01:27:20,312 --> 01:27:21,532
Macro, Miseria.

1504
01:27:21,752 --> 01:27:23,572
Hey, Matt A. Miller, what is a Citadel?

1505
01:27:24,772 --> 01:27:25,412
What is it?

1506
01:27:25,412 --> 01:27:27,312
You'll learn in 2026.

1507
01:27:31,052 --> 01:27:33,092
Yeah, I don't know.

1508
01:27:33,172 --> 01:27:43,012
Obviously, I also saw a hater in the primal chat commenting on our predictions from last year.

1509
01:27:43,092 --> 01:27:44,932
Yeah, I mean, I got a lot wrong from last year.

1510
01:27:45,672 --> 01:27:46,652
Hand up on that one.

1511
01:27:48,792 --> 01:28:01,372
But, I mean, if you had asked me this episode last year if we would be basically flattish-downish,

1512
01:28:01,372 --> 01:28:03,972
year over year.

1513
01:28:05,792 --> 01:28:07,972
I mean, I bet the house on it not being that.

1514
01:28:09,372 --> 01:28:11,812
I did not expect that to be the case.

1515
01:28:12,932 --> 01:28:14,292
I don't think any of us did.

1516
01:28:15,312 --> 01:28:16,772
I mean, this time last year,

1517
01:28:17,352 --> 01:28:19,132
the influencers were all dressing up

1518
01:28:19,132 --> 01:28:20,892
and getting ready to go to their 100K party

1519
01:28:20,892 --> 01:28:22,112
at Sailor's.

1520
01:28:24,332 --> 01:28:25,732
So I had that going for me.

1521
01:28:25,892 --> 01:28:26,592
Didn't go to that.

1522
01:28:28,632 --> 01:28:30,432
That was part of the original jinx.

1523
01:28:31,372 --> 01:28:32,712
That's why Silver's right now.

1524
01:28:32,712 --> 01:28:33,472
I mean...

1525
01:28:33,472 --> 01:28:34,992
Because the 100K party.

1526
01:28:37,612 --> 01:28:38,972
I forgot about that.

1527
01:28:40,172 --> 01:28:41,492
I did not go to that either.

1528
01:28:43,452 --> 01:28:45,672
Stack Toshi says he wasn't talking shit.

1529
01:28:45,772 --> 01:28:47,192
Just don't bet the farm on that sequence.

1530
01:28:47,292 --> 01:28:50,232
Yeah, don't bet the farm on our predictions, please.

1531
01:28:50,232 --> 01:28:51,692
Just stay humble and stack stats.

1532
01:28:52,432 --> 01:28:53,732
Yeah, we opened up these predictions.

1533
01:28:55,252 --> 01:28:55,932
We don't know.

1534
01:28:56,072 --> 01:28:57,652
We have no idea what's going to happen.

1535
01:28:58,212 --> 01:28:59,392
I know the sun's going to rise.

1536
01:28:59,392 --> 01:29:04,392
there'll be some funny stuff going on the internet there'll be some stuff that

1537
01:29:04,392 --> 01:29:11,112
triggers people bitcoin will keep producing blocks whether or not more individuals wake

1538
01:29:11,112 --> 01:29:16,212
up to the fact that they should be holding bitcoin has yet to be determined and i'm a believer

1539
01:29:16,212 --> 01:29:27,452
in the idea that as bitcoin continues to survive uh shit there we go and uh more people learn about

1540
01:29:27,452 --> 01:29:29,132
it. You can get

1541
01:29:29,132 --> 01:29:31,392
introduced

1542
01:29:31,392 --> 01:29:33,432
to it and begin using it.

1543
01:29:33,632 --> 01:29:35,512
They say, hey, this is better. I'm going to

1544
01:29:35,512 --> 01:29:36,932
pour more of my money into this.

1545
01:29:37,412 --> 01:29:39,632
It's just a process. We're going through that process.

1546
01:29:43,132 --> 01:29:44,152
I'm not going anywhere.

1547
01:29:45,792 --> 01:29:47,392
Especially now that we're a silver podcast

1548
01:29:47,392 --> 01:29:48,712
and silver is at a new all-time high.

1549
01:29:51,332 --> 01:29:52,292
How long until

1550
01:29:52,292 --> 01:29:55,352
the first silver treasury company

1551
01:29:55,352 --> 01:29:55,972
gets launched?

1552
01:29:55,972 --> 01:30:00,692
Do you think similar scientific is going to pivot to a silver treasury strategy?

1553
01:30:02,192 --> 01:30:13,352
I mean, these Bitcoin treasury companies need to figure out ways to diversify, you know, breathe some life into the socks.

1554
01:30:14,192 --> 01:30:14,752
Would not be shocked.

1555
01:30:15,892 --> 01:30:16,272
Terrible.

1556
01:30:16,492 --> 01:30:18,732
We'd be calling a silver treasury company.

1557
01:30:20,892 --> 01:30:24,092
First they top-tick Bitcoin and then they pivot and top-tick silver.

1558
01:30:24,092 --> 01:30:28,012
maybe that's the bottom signal we need

1559
01:30:28,012 --> 01:30:30,132
I've had some reach

1560
01:30:30,132 --> 01:30:35,032
do you think the quantum narrative

1561
01:30:35,032 --> 01:30:37,952
becomes a bigger problem in 2026?

1562
01:30:39,052 --> 01:30:39,272
nope

1563
01:30:39,272 --> 01:30:42,112
I think that's just

1564
01:30:42,112 --> 01:30:44,972
people just point to things

1565
01:30:44,972 --> 01:30:46,892
when price is down

1566
01:30:46,892 --> 01:30:49,952
and I think

1567
01:30:49,952 --> 01:30:50,812
if

1568
01:30:50,812 --> 01:30:53,192
not saying it's going to happen

1569
01:30:53,192 --> 01:31:00,852
uh i actually don't expect it to happen but um i'd be well suited if it does happen but if bitcoin

1570
01:31:00,852 --> 01:31:07,672
in the next week like rips rips up 10k it's like everyone forgets about quantum yeah

1571
01:31:07,672 --> 01:31:11,812
if you're worried all the negative narratives or whatever it's like

1572
01:31:11,812 --> 01:31:16,432
all time high next week it's gonna happen it's just like immediately just everything goes out

1573
01:31:16,432 --> 01:31:23,172
the window yeah and that's not like a big move for bitcoin like 10 move for bitcoin 10 move for

1574
01:31:23,172 --> 01:31:25,072
Bitcoin and everyone all of a sudden is

1575
01:31:25,072 --> 01:31:29,012
bullish again and

1576
01:31:29,012 --> 01:31:30,192
puts it in the back burner.

1577
01:31:32,012 --> 01:31:33,012
At these levels,

1578
01:31:33,112 --> 01:31:34,252
that's like a 12% move.

1579
01:31:35,112 --> 01:31:37,052
Some momentum. Well, even at 8K,

1580
01:31:37,152 --> 01:31:38,052
if we were trading,

1581
01:31:38,672 --> 01:31:40,632
if we woke up on Monday

1582
01:31:40,632 --> 01:31:42,992
and Bitcoin was at 95K, no one

1583
01:31:42,992 --> 01:31:43,772
would be talking about quantum.

1584
01:31:44,672 --> 01:31:49,032
If you are worried about quantum, though, I sat

1585
01:31:49,032 --> 01:31:50,872
down with Jonas Nick and

1586
01:31:50,872 --> 01:31:52,352
Mikhail Kudinov.

1587
01:31:53,172 --> 01:31:59,832
from blockstream talk about hash-based signatures in a post-quantum world

1588
01:31:59,832 --> 01:32:05,692
uh similar 2026 similar scientific switches their name to silver scientific

1589
01:32:05,692 --> 01:32:14,372
market they start pushing colonial silver uh make sure make sure you're drinking it for your health

1590
01:32:14,372 --> 01:32:14,592
too

1591
01:32:14,592 --> 01:32:18,552
alright

1592
01:32:18,552 --> 01:32:20,392
is it time to

1593
01:32:20,392 --> 01:32:22,612
time to go

1594
01:32:22,612 --> 01:32:23,552
celebrate Boxing Day

1595
01:32:23,552 --> 01:32:24,912
let's go

1596

Merry Christmas

1597
01:32:26,292 --> 01:32:26,732
Freaks

1598
01:32:26,732 --> 01:32:28,032
Stamble Stack

1599
01:32:28,032 --> 01:32:28,332
Sets

1600
01:32:28,332 --> 01:32:29,952
