00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,840
Live from Fled Lab in Austin, Texas, this is Stacker News Live!

2
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:27,360
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to another exciting episode of Stacker News Live.

3
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,400
My name's Carb with Kiot and Topher Scott.

4
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,260
You guys have a camera.

5
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:33,740
You'll just hear his voice.

6
00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:34,160
Yeah.

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,960
Just the ghost in the corner of the room.

8
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:38,740
How was your last week?

9
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:41,060
My week was pretty good.

10
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:44,460
Went to BitDevs last night.

11
00:00:44,940 --> 00:00:45,680
How was it?

12
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:46,480
It was good.

13
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:51,320
I saw Jimmy Song talk on Monday at the Builders Club.

14
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:53,360
What else did I do?

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,700
Oh, I finally put my PR up for review.

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,720
I've been working on it forever.

17
00:00:58,140 --> 00:00:58,640
What is that?

18
00:00:59,180 --> 00:01:03,820
It's like a unified ledger for Stacker News.

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:11,360
Posts the non-custodial switch, which is really nice once it gets reviewed.

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,080
That's it, though.

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,500
What did you do, Topher?

22
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:18,540
I think I did the same things you did.

23
00:01:18,820 --> 00:01:19,280
Oh, okay.

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,140
I also went to see Jimmy Song speak at the meetup.

25
00:01:23,140 --> 00:01:26,860
the Bitcoin builders meetup and then also went to BitDevs.

26
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:27,420
Yeah.

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,220
It was a fun BitDevs.

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,280
It was a fun BitDevs.

29
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:36,080
Too much knots on core versus core talk for me, but it was fun.

30
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:36,880
Yeah.

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,100
Got to talk about it maybe.

32
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:44,260
Got to talk about some exploits, supply chain attack, all that good stuff.

33
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:44,780
Yeah.

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,200
So.

35
00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:47,220
That's a good BitDevs.

36
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:48,540
Awesome.

37
00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:49,560
Sounds great.

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,840
How was your week, Har?

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,720
It was super busy.

40
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,560
We got a lot of stuff going on.

41
00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:56,100
Startup school, startup day.

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,000
What else happened?

43
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:01,300
Bitcoin builders meet up.

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,780
What else do we have going on?

45
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,140
Yeah, a lot of stuff.

46
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:09,180
I saw it 28 years later.

47
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:11,320
I was telling you before the show.

48
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:12,660
It's really good, dude.

49
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,620
It's the third one, right?

50
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,620
Or the fourth one?

51
00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:17,480
So apparently I found out they're making a trilogy of these movies.

52
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:19,320
So it's going to be a trilogy.

53
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,240
and they basically

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,780
the second movie that happened

55
00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:24,360
so it was 28 days later

56
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,420
then it was 28 weeks

57
00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:27,620
weeks later

58
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:29,660
and then it was 28 years later

59
00:02:29,660 --> 00:02:31,920
so the 28 weeks later

60
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:32,600
is

61
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,680
doesn't exist

62
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,620
oh they think

63
00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:37,440
they're going

64
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,480
they retro

65
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,300
how do you say that

66
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:41,160
they retconned it

67
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,960
they retconned it

68
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,120
why

69
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,800
it's like literally

70
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,780
in the beginning of the movie

71
00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:47,060
it's not a spoiler

72
00:02:47,060 --> 00:02:47,860
because it just comes up

73
00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:48,800
it's like the title card

74
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,360
But it's retconned.

75
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,020
Well, it's like 28 years later, so they could just ignore it.

76
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,700
I think it's because Alex Garland, the writer, and Danny Boyle, the director, were just like,

77
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,720
no, bro, we're not doing that.

78
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:04,360
We're not taking that.

79
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,660
Because it was not done by them.

80
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,640
Oh, now I get it.

81
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,220
Okay.

82
00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:09,140
That's fair.

83
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:09,800
Yeah.

84
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:10,900
It's a good movie.

85
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:12,120
I didn't mind that movie at all.

86
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,860
It's a really good movie.

87
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:13,140
Yeah.

88
00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:14,260
That's my memory of it.

89
00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:15,520
I would definitely recommend it.

90
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,460
I guess maybe they just didn't like the trajectory it took the story on.

91
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:20,740
Yeah, it's on Apple TV.

92
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,120
It's like $4.99 to rent.

93
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:23,280
All right.

94
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:26,900
Wait, the new one is $4.99?

95
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:27,780
Yeah.

96
00:03:27,980 --> 00:03:28,260
Oh.

97
00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:31,860
That's cheaper than I thought I was expecting.

98
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,740
Because usually they're like $20 this early.

99
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,440
Yeah, I've noticed Sony does really good movies lately.

100
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,760
They're like the only one that doesn't do the woke stuff I've noticed.

101
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Everybody else is doing that kind of stuff.

102
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,360
They're just trying to make good banger movies.

103
00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:49,700
Anyways, if you've never seen this crazy show before,

104
00:03:49,740 --> 00:03:55,120
we talk about Bitcoin news on the front page of Bitcoin every week

105
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,580
called Stacker.News.

106
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:04,820
Turns out this crazy little website right here called Stacker.News is growing.

107
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:07,480
Turns out.

108
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,940
I keep seeing it more in search results.

109
00:04:10,460 --> 00:04:13,880
Keep seeing it in LLMs.

110
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,200
don't see it talked about in media,

111
00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:18,260
at least not yet,

112
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,540
but who knows?

113
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,960
Maybe we'll see it on CNBC.

114
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,460
Maybe we'll see Coob on CNBC one day.

115
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,280
We'll see.

116
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,200
I won't be there.

117
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,360
I'm not going on CNBC.

118
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,100
Maybe you can send somebody else.

119
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,060
Anyways,

120
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,100
but we have all these clips.

121
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:33,720
Check them out.

122
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:34,740
They're a lot of fun.

123
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,780
We have some really cool stuff.

124
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:38,400
We're live now.

125
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Oh,

126
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,380
that's us.

127
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,660
You can check out all these popular videos,

128
00:04:42,780 --> 00:04:43,520
full link videos,

129
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,260
some debates.

130
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,500
You know, the usual stuff.

131
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,380
We even talk about Jack and Noster.

132
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,800
That's a good thing.

133
00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:52,140
I remember that.

134
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:53,460
That was a long time ago.

135
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,900
Yeah, a long time ago.

136
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,420
We've been doing this for a long time.

137
00:04:57,740 --> 00:04:58,620
I guess so.

138
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,540
Yeah, you have any anniversaries coming up?

139
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,140
Oh, we're going to talk about that later in the show.

140
00:05:02,580 --> 00:05:03,700
It's great that you brought that up.

141
00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:04,800
I actually don't know.

142
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,020
Anyways, but let's jump into the top five stories of the week

143
00:05:08,020 --> 00:05:10,720
here on Stacker News Live.

144
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:17,880
the number five top story this week is Clara and the sun book review.

145
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:18,900
This is from simple stacker,

146
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,380
eight comments,

147
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:20,300
19,

148
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:20,660
well,

149
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,020
1848 sets.

150
00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:22,860
Keon.

151
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,140
What's this?

152
00:05:24,860 --> 00:05:25,120
Yeah.

153
00:05:25,420 --> 00:05:26,360
This is a new,

154
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,620
I guess this is one of the later books from Kazuo.

155
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,020
I don't know how you say that name.

156
00:05:32,620 --> 00:05:34,380
Kazuo Ishiguro.

157
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:38,540
They wrote never let me go.

158
00:05:38,540 --> 00:05:40,880
and they've written a lot of fiction novels.

159
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,960
They kind of specialize in this kind of, I don't know,

160
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,200
it's like sort of surreal sci-fi,

161
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:53,460
like very deep and emotional type of sci-fi.

162
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,680
And this is no different.

163
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,320
This one's about cloning.

164
00:05:57,540 --> 00:06:00,500
It has themes in it that are similar to Gattaca,

165
00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:01,680
if you've seen the movie Gattaca,

166
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,860
where some people are getting cloned

167
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:07,180
and they get higher station in society

168
00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:10,740
and some people aren't cloned and they get lower station

169
00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:14,420
or genetically modified, I mean.

170
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:17,540
Yeah, they get the designer genetics.

171
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,280
Yeah, designer genetics, that's the word.

172
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:26,400
And yeah, I guess one of the book is told

173
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,280
from the perspective of the family's robot

174
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:33,580
that is a companion to a sickly child

175
00:06:33,580 --> 00:06:36,320
who is sickly because of genetic modifications.

176
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:39,740
The parents were wealthy and got her the genetic modifications,

177
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,260
but she ended up sick, as sometimes happens.

178
00:06:43,420 --> 00:06:46,000
And so it's all in the respect of this robot,

179
00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:50,820
and the robot is tasked by the mother to learn as much about the daughter as possible

180
00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:53,660
so that when she dies, the robot can replace her.

181
00:06:55,140 --> 00:07:01,060
And that's the telling of the story that I learned from this review.

182
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:03,320
Yeah, I want to check it out.

183
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,440
I didn't know it was the same person that made Never Let Me Go.

184
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,240
They've written a lot of books.

185
00:07:10,260 --> 00:07:13,320
Scoresby mentions them in the comments.

186
00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:16,180
I think there's like five that Scoresby has read.

187
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:17,140
So it's interesting.

188
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,700
It's funny that we're talking about Alex Garland.

189
00:07:19,780 --> 00:07:21,160
He's like friends with that guy.

190
00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:22,620
Oh, this is a guy?

191
00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:24,280
I always thought it was a woman.

192
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:24,720
No.

193
00:07:24,940 --> 00:07:28,020
So if it's the same author that wrote Never Let Me Go,

194
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,920
he's actually friends with Alex Garland,

195
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,480
the guy who wrote 28 Days Later.

196
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,180
oh well now he's a filmmaker now too but like um there was a post that i posted a long time ago

197
00:07:38,180 --> 00:07:43,120
talking about never let me go and the themes in that movie or the theme yeah themes in that movie

198
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:50,080
because i never read the novel but um but uh yeah they're like they're like friends in that area of

199
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:56,640
like i guess the uk or whatever but um dude that movie is so good never let me go like mark romaneck

200
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,840
i think was the director or the filmmaker and he was known for making these amazing music videos in

201
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,380
90s in the late in the early 2000s and then he made that movie and it was just like the pinnacle

202
00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:11,340
of because that book was such such a profound book never let me go apparently and then like

203
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:17,400
when he made it they got mark mark romenick to direct it or to to make the to do the to do the

204
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:23,480
film and it was just like it was like whoa that like i remember read the book when i was a teenager

205
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,980
i remember it being really good i refused to watch the movie that's how much i like the book

206
00:08:27,980 --> 00:08:28,840
I mean

207
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:29,980
the movies

208
00:08:29,980 --> 00:08:30,660
like it's still

209
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:31,760
like I just saw it

210
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:32,580
recently like a month

211
00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:33,180
ago again

212
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:34,040
because it was like

213
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,520
it's so good

214
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,640
it just takes you

215
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,920
it just transports

216
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,460
you to another

217
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:40,140
time

218
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:41,160
even though it's

219
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:41,720
the future

220
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,220
well that's another

221
00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:44,080
time the future

222
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,640
no but like in the movie

223
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,500
the whole point

224
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:47,000
of the movie

225
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,820
I don't know how it is

226
00:08:47,820 --> 00:08:48,200
in the book

227
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:48,800
but in the movie

228
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,240
like these kids

229
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,140
they're trying to find out

230
00:08:51,140 --> 00:08:52,420
like the whole point

231
00:08:52,420 --> 00:08:53,280
of the movie is like

232
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,120
they were just trying

233
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:54,500
to find out

234
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:55,080
if they had souls

235
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,520
or not

236
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,060
or not

237
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:58,380
that they had a human soul.

238
00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:00,820
Okay.

239
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,500
It's kind of sad.

240
00:09:01,620 --> 00:09:02,260
It's really sad.

241
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,280
Have you seen the movie, Topher, or read the book?

242
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,060
Which movie?

243
00:09:05,260 --> 00:09:06,140
Never Let Me Go.

244
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,400
No, I haven't.

245
00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:08,280
I've seen Gattaca.

246
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:08,920
Okay.

247
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,520
Yeah, Gattaca is one of my favorites.

248
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:11,700
Yeah, one of the best.

249
00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:12,820
Cool.

250
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,660
So, Kazuo Ishiguro.

251
00:09:16,340 --> 00:09:16,740
Okay.

252
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:26,602

253
00:09:28,122 --> 00:09:29,862

254
00:09:29,862 --> 00:09:31,062
to. Cool.

255
00:09:31,982 --> 00:09:32,942
Great stuff.

256
00:09:33,742 --> 00:09:35,682
The next top, number

257
00:09:35,682 --> 00:09:37,582
four top story of the week is how safe

258
00:09:37,582 --> 00:09:39,522
do you feel in America? This is from

259
00:09:39,522 --> 00:09:41,762
StackHarder, 83 comments, 1,239

260
00:09:41,762 --> 00:09:42,102
cents.

261
00:09:42,662 --> 00:09:45,682
Do you feel safe in America?

262
00:09:45,682 --> 00:09:49,102
I do for the most part.

263
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:52,802
I mean, I've never lived anywhere else or spent a lot of time anywhere else.

264
00:09:53,082 --> 00:09:58,462
But most other places I've spent time in, I also felt pretty safe there.

265
00:09:59,662 --> 00:10:04,162
It might differ depending on the way you show up in the world.

266
00:10:05,342 --> 00:10:10,082
But I try to stay invisible most places.

267
00:10:10,542 --> 00:10:12,402
Yeah, I feel relatively safe,

268
00:10:12,742 --> 00:10:18,622
even though I guess maybe less safe than I have in the past,

269
00:10:18,722 --> 00:10:21,102
given that I spend a lot more time around people

270
00:10:21,102 --> 00:10:24,042
that seem to be having a bad time on the streets.

271
00:10:25,602 --> 00:10:26,802
But yeah, I feel pretty safe.

272
00:10:26,942 --> 00:10:27,422
Do you feel?

273
00:10:28,142 --> 00:10:28,662
I don't know.

274
00:10:28,762 --> 00:10:30,062
I feel like, oh, I want to hear from Topher.

275
00:10:30,142 --> 00:10:31,482
Topher, do you feel safe in America?

276
00:10:32,962 --> 00:10:33,362
Depends.

277
00:10:33,822 --> 00:10:35,322
Depends where you're living.

278
00:10:37,362 --> 00:10:39,902
Austin has gotten increasingly less safe.

279
00:10:40,082 --> 00:10:41,662
uh,

280
00:10:41,922 --> 00:10:45,382
LA has very many unsafe places.

281
00:10:46,322 --> 00:10:46,882
Um,

282
00:10:47,082 --> 00:10:50,642
but then there's other places that are incredibly safe.

283
00:10:51,082 --> 00:10:53,082
So I don't know.

284
00:10:53,682 --> 00:10:59,102
America is a very big country and there's so many cities are very different.

285
00:10:59,562 --> 00:11:02,262
So I would say for the most part,

286
00:11:02,342 --> 00:11:03,382
America feels safe,

287
00:11:03,382 --> 00:11:06,082
but there's like some places that you got to look out for.

288
00:11:06,982 --> 00:11:07,502
Yeah.

289
00:11:07,782 --> 00:11:08,022
I've,

290
00:11:08,102 --> 00:11:08,342
I've,

291
00:11:08,422 --> 00:11:08,902
to be honest,

292
00:11:08,902 --> 00:11:17,702
There was a time where I didn't feel safe, probably when I was growing up, but that was maybe because I was a young kid and I was like, you know, when you're young, you kind of fear everything.

293
00:11:18,302 --> 00:11:24,602
And then, you know, then you're in your 20s, you kind of go out there and you kind of just become this like fearless young man.

294
00:11:25,242 --> 00:11:26,522
You're just not, you don't really.

295
00:11:27,802 --> 00:11:29,102
You're like, I made it to adulthood.

296
00:11:29,242 --> 00:11:29,882
I can die.

297
00:11:30,262 --> 00:11:34,122
Well, you don't really, you don't really think of consequences, I guess, when you're a young man, I guess you don't really.

298
00:11:34,922 --> 00:11:35,802
That tracks.

299
00:11:36,222 --> 00:11:36,442
Yeah.

300
00:11:36,442 --> 00:11:40,242
I guess maybe you don't think, or at least I didn't.

301
00:11:40,302 --> 00:11:40,642
I don't know.

302
00:11:42,482 --> 00:11:44,382
I guess it was more fearless back then.

303
00:11:44,942 --> 00:11:45,882
And then there does get a time.

304
00:11:45,882 --> 00:11:49,142
I think when I got married is when I started getting more fearful.

305
00:11:49,662 --> 00:11:51,422
I think because I started a family.

306
00:11:52,422 --> 00:11:56,022
And then once I found Christ or when I went back to Christ,

307
00:11:56,762 --> 00:11:59,702
now I'm back to not fearing anything.

308
00:12:00,422 --> 00:12:05,002
So I think it just kind of goes back to individual,

309
00:12:05,002 --> 00:12:06,822
how safe do they feel.

310
00:12:07,682 --> 00:12:09,762
But I don't know.

311
00:12:09,822 --> 00:12:11,722
It just really just depends on the person, I think.

312
00:12:12,442 --> 00:12:15,102
Less so than the place?

313
00:12:15,882 --> 00:12:16,862
Yeah, I think so.

314
00:12:17,642 --> 00:12:19,382
So you think you could be like in Ukraine

315
00:12:19,382 --> 00:12:22,862
and feel safe or...

316
00:12:22,862 --> 00:12:23,782
Yeah, but...

317
00:12:23,782 --> 00:12:24,642
Depending on your...

318
00:12:24,642 --> 00:12:25,822
Did you ever read that?

319
00:12:26,862 --> 00:12:27,762
Did you ever read that?

320
00:12:27,822 --> 00:12:28,302
What's the name?

321
00:12:28,342 --> 00:12:29,362
It's the notorious book.

322
00:12:29,422 --> 00:12:30,142
I haven't read the book,

323
00:12:30,282 --> 00:12:32,162
but people have told me about it.

324
00:12:32,202 --> 00:12:33,262
It's the one where the guy

325
00:12:33,262 --> 00:12:34,582
who was in the Nazi camps

326
00:12:34,582 --> 00:12:36,982
and what's that one?

327
00:12:37,322 --> 00:12:37,762
Auschwitz?

328
00:12:38,162 --> 00:12:38,362
Yeah.

329
00:12:38,642 --> 00:12:40,182
The Gulag Archivago.

330
00:12:40,362 --> 00:12:43,762
It's like Vikur, Vikur, Dosh, whatever.

331
00:12:44,782 --> 00:12:47,302
It's like a famous book.

332
00:12:47,942 --> 00:12:50,522
He's like one of the guys that was in the concentration cab.

333
00:12:50,662 --> 00:12:53,822
So he got to a point where he saw so many people dying.

334
00:12:54,742 --> 00:12:57,502
And at a certain point, he just realized that he was,

335
00:12:59,022 --> 00:13:00,922
he's already like, I don't know.

336
00:13:01,002 --> 00:13:03,022
I forget how it's summed up in the book.

337
00:13:03,022 --> 00:13:06,182
maybe one of the stackers can put in the comments or put on the thing,

338
00:13:06,262 --> 00:13:07,902
but it was basically, it just basically just,

339
00:13:08,002 --> 00:13:10,922
he just basically summed up and said something like to the likes of like,

340
00:13:11,302 --> 00:13:13,582
once you realize like basically memento mori,

341
00:13:13,642 --> 00:13:15,562
like once you realize like death comes for everybody,

342
00:13:16,102 --> 00:13:17,202
you just don't fear it.

343
00:13:17,282 --> 00:13:20,322
And then you just move on with life and you accept it.

344
00:13:20,582 --> 00:13:23,802
And I think that's where he had gotten to at a certain point,

345
00:13:23,802 --> 00:13:27,502
once he was in the concentration camps, he had seen death. He was closed.

346
00:13:27,582 --> 00:13:31,382
He was closed with death because all the ashes and just got to a certain

347
00:13:31,382 --> 00:13:33,462
point where in his mind he was

348
00:13:33,462 --> 00:13:35,362
already free so it didn't matter

349
00:13:35,362 --> 00:13:36,442
yeah

350
00:13:36,442 --> 00:13:39,382
it's an interesting challenge

351
00:13:39,382 --> 00:13:40,962
it's like a human challenge

352
00:13:40,962 --> 00:13:43,462
to get past that fear it's like the mind

353
00:13:43,462 --> 00:13:44,722
is the biggest mountain to climb

354
00:13:44,722 --> 00:13:46,982
it's interesting because it's introduced to you

355
00:13:46,982 --> 00:13:49,462
because kids don't have a fear of

356
00:13:49,462 --> 00:13:49,782
death

357
00:13:49,782 --> 00:13:53,542
and I've noticed that even with things becoming

358
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:54,862
increasingly unsafe

359
00:13:54,862 --> 00:13:57,422
in society, society becoming a little more

360
00:13:57,422 --> 00:13:59,542
unstable to keep releasing

361
00:13:59,542 --> 00:14:01,042
criminals out into the streets

362
00:14:01,042 --> 00:14:05,942
what I notice from kids is that they still seem just as fearless

363
00:14:05,942 --> 00:14:07,702
from physical harm

364
00:14:07,702 --> 00:14:11,802
they have the same fearlessness as I had

365
00:14:11,802 --> 00:14:13,002
when I was a kid

366
00:14:13,002 --> 00:14:16,182
so it's like for physical harm kids are fearless

367
00:14:16,182 --> 00:14:20,142
but then social harm is different

368
00:14:20,142 --> 00:14:22,062
that's an interesting one

369
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:26,662
kids are still fearful of experiencing a social death

370
00:14:26,662 --> 00:14:29,122
like if they're ostracized

371
00:14:29,122 --> 00:14:32,582
or if like, yeah, their reputation is ruined.

372
00:14:33,202 --> 00:14:34,542
Like that's worse.

373
00:14:35,182 --> 00:14:37,042
Like social harm, it seems like for kids,

374
00:14:37,082 --> 00:14:39,302
like social harm is even worse than physical harm.

375
00:14:40,742 --> 00:14:41,722
Yeah, I could see that.

376
00:14:41,822 --> 00:14:42,122
It's kind of crazy.

377
00:14:42,282 --> 00:14:42,502
I don't know.

378
00:14:42,542 --> 00:14:44,542
Was it like that for you when you were a kid?

379
00:14:44,802 --> 00:14:46,362
I think it goes out for everybody, right?

380
00:14:46,382 --> 00:14:48,682
Like in high school when people are like make fun of you.

381
00:14:49,262 --> 00:14:51,002
Like I remember this guy who like,

382
00:14:51,362 --> 00:14:54,062
he pooped in his pants and then everybody made fun of him.

383
00:14:54,402 --> 00:14:56,262
And then he like, he transferred schools too.

384
00:14:56,522 --> 00:14:57,082
He had to transfer schools.

385
00:14:57,082 --> 00:14:58,562
Just because he pooped in his pants.

386
00:14:58,562 --> 00:15:00,222
you're done

387
00:15:00,222 --> 00:15:00,622
no

388
00:15:00,622 --> 00:15:01,282
no

389
00:15:01,282 --> 00:15:02,102
no

390
00:15:02,102 --> 00:15:06,042
no

391
00:15:06,042 --> 00:15:06,542
no

392
00:15:06,542 --> 00:15:07,122
but I

393
00:15:07,122 --> 00:15:08,902
we were still friends with him

394
00:15:08,902 --> 00:15:10,142
like we went to his birthday party

395
00:15:10,142 --> 00:15:10,482
and everything

396
00:15:10,482 --> 00:15:11,322
we're like hey what happened

397
00:15:11,322 --> 00:15:11,902
he's like oh

398
00:15:11,902 --> 00:15:12,962
we moved or whatever

399
00:15:12,962 --> 00:15:13,882
I was like

400
00:15:13,882 --> 00:15:16,162
no we couldn't do that

401
00:15:16,162 --> 00:15:16,542
I had like

402
00:15:16,542 --> 00:15:17,042
I had like

403
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:18,182
I had like three brothers

404
00:15:18,182 --> 00:15:18,782
and one sister

405
00:15:18,782 --> 00:15:19,862
there's no way my mom would move

406
00:15:19,862 --> 00:15:20,862
just because I pooped my pants

407
00:15:20,862 --> 00:15:23,882
that's funny

408
00:15:23,882 --> 00:15:24,862
wow

409
00:15:24,862 --> 00:15:26,002
yeah I definitely think

410
00:15:26,002 --> 00:15:27,042
I definitely think

411
00:15:27,042 --> 00:15:28,262
I definitely think

412
00:15:28,262 --> 00:15:30,682
I definitely think it does.

413
00:15:31,202 --> 00:15:32,682
I think at the end of the day,

414
00:15:32,702 --> 00:15:34,742
it does come down to the man though,

415
00:15:34,822 --> 00:15:36,862
like to protect his family.

416
00:15:37,182 --> 00:15:39,222
And if he's fearful,

417
00:15:39,402 --> 00:15:41,702
then the rest of his family is going to be fearful.

418
00:15:41,902 --> 00:15:45,022
So it really is up to the man to like conquer his mind

419
00:15:45,022 --> 00:15:47,082
and make sure that his family's safe.

420
00:15:47,342 --> 00:15:50,462
So if, yeah, you know what I mean?

421
00:15:51,102 --> 00:15:51,302
Yeah.

422
00:15:51,382 --> 00:15:53,002
So do you feel safe in America?

423
00:15:53,442 --> 00:15:54,022
I do.

424
00:15:54,542 --> 00:15:54,862
I do.

425
00:15:55,822 --> 00:15:57,882
Don't feel like anything's going to happen to me.

426
00:15:58,262 --> 00:15:58,862
To be honest.

427
00:15:59,522 --> 00:16:00,362
But the other day I was walking.

428
00:16:00,502 --> 00:16:02,362
I remember I was telling you when I was going to 7-Eleven over here.

429
00:16:02,522 --> 00:16:04,902
Like some guy was like trying to step up to me.

430
00:16:04,962 --> 00:16:05,662
And I was just like, wow.

431
00:16:06,242 --> 00:16:07,442
That hasn't happened in a long time.

432
00:16:08,382 --> 00:16:09,122
And then I…

433
00:16:09,122 --> 00:16:09,942
Oh, he's an F word.

434
00:16:10,222 --> 00:16:10,562
A guy.

435
00:16:10,762 --> 00:16:14,302
No, he was just like saying that he was going to punch me in the face.

436
00:16:14,402 --> 00:16:16,982
And I was just like, yeah, that's not going to happen.

437
00:16:17,342 --> 00:16:18,742
And then I just kept walking right through him.

438
00:16:18,862 --> 00:16:21,622
But I think honestly, I don't take offense to that.

439
00:16:21,622 --> 00:16:23,662
Because if it would have been somebody else behind me,

440
00:16:23,682 --> 00:16:25,102
it probably would have been that person anyway.

441
00:16:25,222 --> 00:16:27,322
I think he was just on one and he wanted to go to jail.

442
00:16:27,322 --> 00:16:28,402
so

443
00:16:28,402 --> 00:16:30,542
yeah I wonder if

444
00:16:30,542 --> 00:16:33,422
because I kind of look at it more like

445
00:16:33,422 --> 00:16:35,502
like okay cool then we're gonna get into

446
00:16:35,502 --> 00:16:37,542
a fight like I don't see it

447
00:16:37,542 --> 00:16:39,502
as like but you pick up you picked up

448
00:16:39,502 --> 00:16:41,562
on like he was looking to start

449
00:16:41,562 --> 00:16:43,302
something and so all you

450
00:16:43,302 --> 00:16:45,462
like you didn't take it personally all you really

451
00:16:45,462 --> 00:16:47,442
had to do is just not I just gotta defend myself

452
00:16:47,442 --> 00:16:49,602
like but I don't I think

453
00:16:49,602 --> 00:16:50,902
I've been in enough like

454
00:16:50,902 --> 00:16:53,642
squabs or whatever like I don't

455
00:16:53,642 --> 00:16:55,542
I'm not gonna like not defend myself

456
00:16:55,542 --> 00:16:56,542
if that makes any sense

457
00:16:56,542 --> 00:16:59,202
but also I'm not going to go look for a fight either

458
00:16:59,202 --> 00:17:01,062
but I'm also not going to back down either

459
00:17:01,062 --> 00:17:02,802
does that make sense? I'm just going to hold my ground

460
00:17:02,802 --> 00:17:05,142
yeah but they're looking

461
00:17:05,142 --> 00:17:06,342
to like trigger you

462
00:17:06,342 --> 00:17:08,522
people that are like that they're on something

463
00:17:08,522 --> 00:17:09,982
and they're looking to start a fight

464
00:17:09,982 --> 00:17:11,242
they're looking to trigger you

465
00:17:11,242 --> 00:17:12,222
sure

466
00:17:12,222 --> 00:17:14,882
but that doesn't work though with me

467
00:17:14,882 --> 00:17:16,902
because I have God on my side

468
00:17:16,902 --> 00:17:17,382
so

469
00:17:17,382 --> 00:17:21,902
yeah there's a lot of people

470
00:17:21,902 --> 00:17:23,282
that are very on edge

471
00:17:23,282 --> 00:17:25,882
yeah I think it's because they see people like that

472
00:17:25,882 --> 00:17:26,922
and they get fearful

473
00:17:26,922 --> 00:17:28,642
because they say something like that to them.

474
00:17:28,682 --> 00:17:29,842
But to me, I'm kind of like,

475
00:17:30,002 --> 00:17:32,522
cool, I'll see you when I get out of the 7-Eleven.

476
00:17:33,742 --> 00:17:34,622
So I have to say,

477
00:17:34,802 --> 00:17:36,602
so I came back from Europe recently

478
00:17:36,602 --> 00:17:41,202
and I've been to Europe a couple of times

479
00:17:41,202 --> 00:17:44,642
and there's way more screaming,

480
00:17:44,902 --> 00:17:47,382
crazy people on the streets in the US

481
00:17:47,382 --> 00:17:50,162
than the places I've been in Europe.

482
00:17:51,602 --> 00:17:53,722
And so, I don't know,

483
00:17:53,862 --> 00:17:55,322
it's like generally felt...

484
00:17:55,882 --> 00:18:00,742
more safe in Europe versus U.S.

485
00:18:01,782 --> 00:18:05,202
But it's more complicated than that.

486
00:18:05,622 --> 00:18:09,182
Because I don't walk around carrying.

487
00:18:10,262 --> 00:18:11,302
It's not yet.

488
00:18:11,402 --> 00:18:11,862
In Europe?

489
00:18:12,202 --> 00:18:12,642
No, in Europe.

490
00:18:13,022 --> 00:18:13,982
You can't carry.

491
00:18:14,302 --> 00:18:15,982
But in the U.S., I don't walk around carrying.

492
00:18:16,202 --> 00:18:18,242
I guess if I did, I would feel more safe.

493
00:18:18,242 --> 00:18:20,162
In Texas, you absolutely can.

494
00:18:20,262 --> 00:18:23,142
This is why you don't do that to people.

495
00:18:23,262 --> 00:18:24,882
This is why you don't come up to somebody and say,

496
00:18:24,882 --> 00:18:26,642
I'm gonna punch you in the face because you might get shot.

497
00:18:27,582 --> 00:18:29,022
So why you don't do that in Texas?

498
00:18:29,382 --> 00:18:30,462
So it's interesting.

499
00:18:30,462 --> 00:18:34,002
Like I would feel, so if I was carrying, I would feel more safe,

500
00:18:35,082 --> 00:18:36,882
but I'm not carrying.

501
00:18:37,062 --> 00:18:56,224
So I feel less safe but at least I know that I can do something about it if I wanted to whereas in Europe it like I generally felt more safe but like if something did happen like what was I going to do It like you you don really you don have the ability to take your own destiny into your hands You kind of just

502
00:18:57,224 --> 00:19:01,424
you know, if the guy has like a knife or something, you know, it's like, you're not

503
00:19:01,424 --> 00:19:04,924
allowed to have a knife. He's not allowed to have a knife, but he has a knife and you don't.

504
00:19:04,924 --> 00:19:06,464
And that's the reality.

505
00:19:07,384 --> 00:19:10,884
But generally, I felt like they keep crazy people off the streets.

506
00:19:11,544 --> 00:19:12,064
Yeah.

507
00:19:12,364 --> 00:19:13,664
More than they do here.

508
00:19:14,124 --> 00:19:15,764
Well, there was some guy that somebody was...

509
00:19:17,344 --> 00:19:21,584
They were telling me there was some guy that has a clipboard

510
00:19:21,584 --> 00:19:25,904
and he's checking in on all the homeless people to see what they need.

511
00:19:26,224 --> 00:19:29,384
Yeah, they have people here that are checking in on the homeless.

512
00:19:30,224 --> 00:19:31,524
Hopefully, they get them the help they need.

513
00:19:31,544 --> 00:19:33,144
That doesn't make them less crazy.

514
00:19:33,924 --> 00:19:34,184
Oh.

515
00:19:34,924 --> 00:19:36,864
anyways

516
00:19:36,864 --> 00:19:40,924
so that's

517
00:19:40,924 --> 00:19:41,544
everything

518
00:19:41,544 --> 00:19:43,624
Keon anything else on this or

519
00:19:43,624 --> 00:19:46,164
no I think we've covered it we've all answered the question

520
00:19:46,164 --> 00:19:46,984
okay

521
00:19:46,984 --> 00:19:51,364
number three top story is

522
00:19:51,364 --> 00:19:53,324
NBA star Kevin Durant can't unlock

523
00:19:53,324 --> 00:19:55,424
his Coinbase Bitcoin account this is from

524
00:19:55,424 --> 00:19:57,024
Wumble 31 comments

525
00:19:57,024 --> 00:19:58,304
1042 sats

526
00:19:58,304 --> 00:19:59,764
Keon

527
00:19:59,764 --> 00:20:01,424
why

528
00:20:01,424 --> 00:20:04,864
it's hard to tell exactly what's going on

529
00:20:04,864 --> 00:20:08,964
here if they're just this is like sort of a headline thing and their stuff is taken out of

530
00:20:08,964 --> 00:20:15,124
context but uh kevin durant lost access to his coinbase account he might have done that

531
00:20:15,124 --> 00:20:19,784
intentionally where he like threw away his password so he couldn't get access to it to

532
00:20:19,784 --> 00:20:26,624
sell his bitcoin apparent as like as a claim or uh or he did it accidentally and it's like a happy

533
00:20:26,624 --> 00:20:32,144
accident where he kind of forgot that he had bought a bunch of bitcoin and left it on coinbase

534
00:20:32,144 --> 00:20:33,544
all these years.

535
00:20:35,224 --> 00:20:35,444
Yeah.

536
00:20:35,704 --> 00:20:36,464
Pleb Spidey Senses.

537
00:20:36,664 --> 00:20:37,404
None of this is true.

538
00:20:37,944 --> 00:20:39,864
This is all just a PR campaign.

539
00:20:40,184 --> 00:20:41,304
That's my Pleb Spidey Senses.

540
00:20:41,964 --> 00:20:42,324
Okay.

541
00:20:43,764 --> 00:20:44,344
It's a good,

542
00:20:44,424 --> 00:20:45,344
it's a nice headline.

543
00:20:45,584 --> 00:20:46,024
I mean, it did.

544
00:20:46,324 --> 00:20:46,664
Oh yeah.

545
00:20:46,664 --> 00:20:46,984
It's a great,

546
00:20:47,064 --> 00:20:47,824
anytime you can say

547
00:20:47,824 --> 00:20:48,624
somebody got hacked

548
00:20:48,624 --> 00:20:50,264
or locked out,

549
00:20:50,324 --> 00:20:51,264
that's always a good headline.

550
00:20:51,404 --> 00:20:52,064
Lead with that.

551
00:20:52,724 --> 00:20:54,384
And then shimmy in

552
00:20:54,384 --> 00:20:55,544
what you're really trying to do there,

553
00:20:56,084 --> 00:20:56,864
which they do

554
00:20:56,864 --> 00:20:57,684
at the end of the article.

555
00:20:58,384 --> 00:20:59,464
I'll scroll down to it.

556
00:20:59,744 --> 00:21:00,684
For me,

557
00:21:01,004 --> 00:21:01,264
I,

558
00:21:01,264 --> 00:21:07,644
I find it hard to imagine someone coming up with a story like that,

559
00:21:07,744 --> 00:21:11,724
but maybe that's someone's career is to come up with a story like that.

560
00:21:11,784 --> 00:21:14,564
Kleinman said he and Durant are also investors in Coinbase Global

561
00:21:14,564 --> 00:21:17,604
and that the company has been a valuable resource in growing our business.

562
00:21:18,604 --> 00:21:21,104
We're also launching 35, or they didn't say we're also launching.

563
00:21:21,104 --> 00:21:24,004
In 2021, 35 ventures struck a multi-year deal with Coinbase

564
00:21:24,004 --> 00:21:25,704
to promote the trading platform,

565
00:21:26,224 --> 00:21:28,384
which includes creating content about digital assets

566
00:21:28,384 --> 00:21:30,084
for Durant's sports entertainment website.

567
00:21:31,264 --> 00:21:37,644
And I think they're just trying to promote the 35 Ventures cool thing that Durant's doing.

568
00:21:38,564 --> 00:21:40,124
That's how I see it.

569
00:21:40,224 --> 00:21:42,104
It's just kind of, plus Coinbase too.

570
00:21:42,524 --> 00:21:42,964
It doesn't hurt.

571
00:21:44,204 --> 00:21:45,304
Everybody wants money, Keon.

572
00:21:45,804 --> 00:21:47,184
Oh, yeah.

573
00:21:48,044 --> 00:21:52,364
But I suspect this, even if it didn't happen to Kevin Durant, I suspect this has happened to other people.

574
00:21:52,364 --> 00:22:00,984
I know of one case in particular where someone had, back in the day, bought Bitcoin on Coinbase and forgot about it for years.

575
00:22:01,264 --> 00:22:03,244
Until, until the best thing you can do.

576
00:22:03,344 --> 00:22:03,444
Yeah.

577
00:22:03,444 --> 00:22:06,424
Until there was a huge bull run and then they're like, Oh wait.

578
00:22:07,084 --> 00:22:13,604
And then, you know, then they were rich or so this stuff does happen.

579
00:22:13,644 --> 00:22:16,324
It might've happened to Kevin Durant or it might all be a fake story.

580
00:22:16,584 --> 00:22:17,624
I don't, I don't know.

581
00:22:17,724 --> 00:22:21,524
But you know, these kinds of, these, this is a happy accident.

582
00:22:21,824 --> 00:22:26,664
Coinbase in the meantime, hasn't like their assets haven't been seized and he

583
00:22:26,664 --> 00:22:28,524
can still get us, he can still get his Bitcoin out.

584
00:22:28,644 --> 00:22:31,164
So you know, it's a happy accident.

585
00:22:31,264 --> 00:22:33,164
I think I said one earlier.

586
00:22:33,244 --> 00:22:34,504
I was like, we should do one for Stacker News

587
00:22:34,504 --> 00:22:36,764
where we have Stacker News.

588
00:22:37,484 --> 00:22:39,224
Kevin Durant loses Stacker News login.

589
00:22:39,884 --> 00:22:41,204
Was it his L&D node?

590
00:22:41,324 --> 00:22:42,284
Question mark, question mark.

591
00:22:42,684 --> 00:22:44,724
And I said, we've already been working directly

592
00:22:44,724 --> 00:22:46,984
with Stacker News crew on Kevin's accounts recovery,

593
00:22:47,424 --> 00:22:49,144
which is why it was easy for me

594
00:22:49,144 --> 00:22:51,224
to make a joke about it on stage, Kleinman said.

595
00:22:51,724 --> 00:22:53,504
Turns out he tried logging with his Nostra

596
00:22:53,504 --> 00:22:54,324
and a queso emoji.

597
00:22:54,784 --> 00:22:55,464
Classic Kevin.

598
00:22:56,924 --> 00:22:57,344
Yeah.

599
00:22:57,804 --> 00:22:58,864
See, that's how that works.

600
00:22:59,284 --> 00:23:00,544
Also, should be mentioned,

601
00:23:00,544 --> 00:23:02,704
Kevin is directly invested into

602
00:23:02,704 --> 00:23:05,124
Stacker News. This is how that works.

603
00:23:05,244 --> 00:23:06,784
It's just like a one

604
00:23:06,784 --> 00:23:08,884
boom. It's just like it doesn't need to be true

605
00:23:08,884 --> 00:23:10,584
Keon. It just needs to be relevant.

606
00:23:11,024 --> 00:23:13,024
I mean I take your point that they could be lying.

607
00:23:13,484 --> 00:23:14,444
I just yeah.

608
00:23:14,664 --> 00:23:16,584
I think they also could be telling the truth

609
00:23:16,584 --> 00:23:18,204
and it's like a nice coincidence.

610
00:23:18,204 --> 00:23:19,324
Slap Spidey sense baby.

611
00:23:20,864 --> 00:23:22,104
Cool. You got anything tougher?

612
00:23:23,544 --> 00:23:24,324
I just

613
00:23:24,324 --> 00:23:26,284
think that they

614
00:23:26,284 --> 00:23:28,364
brought on Kevin Durant

615
00:23:28,364 --> 00:23:29,404
for a name.

616
00:23:30,544 --> 00:23:32,224
and then they're like,

617
00:23:32,284 --> 00:23:34,204
hey, we have this portfolio.

618
00:23:35,044 --> 00:23:36,504
We're going to put some Bitcoin in there.

619
00:23:36,724 --> 00:23:38,904
Do you have any anecdotes about Bitcoin?

620
00:23:39,564 --> 00:23:40,704
And I think Kevin said,

621
00:23:40,804 --> 00:23:43,604
oh, I think I bought Bitcoin on Coinbase once.

622
00:23:43,604 --> 00:23:44,724
Probably like a hundred bucks.

623
00:23:45,204 --> 00:23:46,584
And he forgot his password.

624
00:23:46,864 --> 00:23:47,124
Yeah.

625
00:23:47,324 --> 00:23:47,644
And they're like,

626
00:23:47,684 --> 00:23:49,084
ooh, we could spin that into something.

627
00:23:49,204 --> 00:23:50,024
Yeah, I think that's...

628
00:23:50,024 --> 00:23:51,244
This is probably like a big nothing burger.

629
00:23:51,484 --> 00:23:51,964
Like it's nothing.

630
00:23:52,524 --> 00:23:53,464
If you really want it,

631
00:23:53,724 --> 00:23:54,004
like they,

632
00:23:54,344 --> 00:23:55,964
for you to set up a Coinbase account,

633
00:23:56,104 --> 00:23:58,144
like they have all of your personally

634
00:23:58,144 --> 00:24:00,644
identifiable information and bank account.

635
00:24:01,204 --> 00:24:05,284
So, like, they could totally store his account if they wanted to.

636
00:24:05,304 --> 00:24:05,764
Topher knows.

637
00:24:06,984 --> 00:24:07,624
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

638
00:24:08,444 --> 00:24:09,204
Come on.

639
00:24:09,924 --> 00:24:10,764
Oh, come on.

640
00:24:10,824 --> 00:24:12,264
Got to generate that news story, Carr.

641
00:24:12,384 --> 00:24:12,644
Come on.

642
00:24:12,704 --> 00:24:15,004
Got to hook the people in.

643
00:24:15,144 --> 00:24:15,904
Keon's too honest.

644
00:24:15,984 --> 00:24:17,064
That's why he doesn't see this.

645
00:24:18,364 --> 00:24:19,724
Maybe Durant is Satoshi.

646
00:24:20,944 --> 00:24:22,084
Kevin Durant's Satoshi.

647
00:24:23,224 --> 00:24:27,524
Yeah, maybe we can correlate his commits with, like, the NBA season.

648
00:24:28,144 --> 00:24:32,644
All right. We got a hedging sanctions risk, Bitcoin and central bank reserves.

649
00:24:33,064 --> 00:24:36,084
This is from SimpleStacker. 11,100 sats, nine comments.

650
00:24:36,184 --> 00:24:38,264
Kian, what is all this stuff?

651
00:24:38,544 --> 00:24:49,204
Yeah. So there was a paper, I think the scores we shared about central banks potentially hedging sanctions risk using Bitcoin.

652
00:24:50,284 --> 00:24:56,524
And so SimpleStacker went and read it and then summarized it for us here.

653
00:24:56,524 --> 00:24:58,744
they also compared

654
00:24:58,744 --> 00:25:00,084
the same

655
00:25:00,084 --> 00:25:01,624
they also did the same thing for gold

656
00:25:01,624 --> 00:25:03,064
like to use the same model

657
00:25:03,064 --> 00:25:04,384
and use gold

658
00:25:04,384 --> 00:25:07,184
they had a bunch of other things

659
00:25:07,184 --> 00:25:07,824
in the footnotes

660
00:25:07,824 --> 00:25:09,664
I guess they showed like mining

661
00:25:09,664 --> 00:25:10,424
but they have a

662
00:25:10,424 --> 00:25:12,224
SimpleStackers conclusion

663
00:25:12,224 --> 00:25:14,164
is they do understand Bitcoin at least

664
00:25:14,164 --> 00:25:15,784
and then like the headline

665
00:25:15,784 --> 00:25:17,304
of this I would say

666
00:25:17,304 --> 00:25:19,004
is that if a country

667
00:25:19,004 --> 00:25:23,244
even if a country is risk averse

668
00:25:23,244 --> 00:25:27,524
but if they have a high risk of sanctions,

669
00:25:28,724 --> 00:25:32,364
they should use Bitcoin in their portfolio

670
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:35,544
to hedge against those sanction risks.

671
00:25:35,624 --> 00:25:38,544
It will help them because Bitcoin is borderless, et cetera.

672
00:25:39,344 --> 00:25:41,684
And they'll still be able to gain access

673
00:25:41,684 --> 00:25:45,084
to a liquid market that allows them

674
00:25:45,084 --> 00:25:46,964
to preserve their reserve value.

675
00:25:47,844 --> 00:25:52,524
Or even if a country does not have sanctions risk

676
00:25:52,524 --> 00:25:55,304
but it has a low risk aversion,

677
00:25:55,564 --> 00:25:58,164
meaning they are okay with taking some risk in their portfolio.

678
00:25:58,384 --> 00:25:59,304
They should also add Bitcoin

679
00:25:59,304 --> 00:26:01,884
because it'll improve the returns on their reserves.

680
00:26:02,784 --> 00:26:08,084
So in general, this is a good study for Bitcoin

681
00:26:08,084 --> 00:26:10,964
or it's favorable.

682
00:26:11,984 --> 00:26:14,564
It paints Bitcoin in a favorable perspective.

683
00:26:14,904 --> 00:26:19,504
Like even governments can use Bitcoin in their portfolio

684
00:26:19,504 --> 00:26:23,864
to fight other governments' overreach.

685
00:26:24,264 --> 00:26:26,664
So I say, cool.

686
00:26:26,664 --> 00:26:28,984
And I think the main flaw,

687
00:26:29,424 --> 00:26:31,024
like Simple Stacker also points out flaws

688
00:26:31,024 --> 00:26:31,884
that they found in it.

689
00:26:33,144 --> 00:26:35,404
The main one being that it's like a simulation

690
00:26:35,404 --> 00:26:38,184
of the circumstances that a country,

691
00:26:38,524 --> 00:26:40,304
like the model is a simulation

692
00:26:40,304 --> 00:26:41,484
of what would happen to a country

693
00:26:41,484 --> 00:26:43,264
should they suffer sanctions.

694
00:26:44,504 --> 00:26:48,284
And so, and I guess that model assumes that

695
00:26:48,284 --> 00:26:55,284
the Federal Reserve in that country is not already engaging in other hedging activities

696
00:26:55,284 --> 00:26:57,904
as the sanctioned risks increase.

697
00:26:57,904 --> 00:27:05,184
And so that might be painting a rosier picture than would otherwise be the case.

698
00:27:05,304 --> 00:27:11,484
But still, cool to see academics looking at Bitcoin, in my opinion.

699
00:27:11,484 --> 00:27:15,484
Yeah, it looks like they also bring up...

700
00:27:18,044 --> 00:27:21,264
Second, we apply a price discovery mythology and framework,

701
00:27:21,464 --> 00:27:24,004
which was designed to handle sparse and asynchronous data

702
00:27:24,004 --> 00:27:25,224
and analyze your big white markets,

703
00:27:25,664 --> 00:27:28,184
covering spot markets with quotes of USD and USDT.

704
00:27:34,064 --> 00:27:35,404
Yeah, that's a long paper.

705
00:27:35,524 --> 00:27:36,504
So you read through all this?

706
00:27:37,644 --> 00:27:40,484
Yeah, well, he's an academic economist, and so...

707
00:27:41,484 --> 00:27:43,824
it's kind of

708
00:27:43,824 --> 00:27:45,424
what were they grabbing all this from

709
00:27:45,424 --> 00:27:47,584
the development of Bitcoin future exploring the interactions

710
00:27:47,584 --> 00:27:49,724
where are these coming from

711
00:27:49,724 --> 00:27:53,344
I mean this is one you're on one

712
00:27:53,344 --> 00:27:55,084
journal's website right now

713
00:27:55,084 --> 00:27:57,064
yeah I'm just looking at their references

714
00:27:57,064 --> 00:27:59,224
my frequency

715
00:27:59,224 --> 00:28:01,464
interesting

716
00:28:01,464 --> 00:28:16,886
it fascinating to see them do their own research in this stuff and like where they grabbing it from I might take a look at this later Yeah it seems to be mostly other academic papers It be cool to see like a Satoshi Nakamoto Institute reference or something

717
00:28:17,726 --> 00:28:20,926
But yeah, they're not going to do that.

718
00:28:24,366 --> 00:28:24,846
Fascinating.

719
00:28:26,546 --> 00:28:28,146
Wow, good stuff.

720
00:28:29,426 --> 00:28:30,546
Topher, you got anything on this?

721
00:28:30,546 --> 00:28:33,246
I haven't read the paper.

722
00:28:33,666 --> 00:28:35,306
I don't understand the model.

723
00:28:39,326 --> 00:28:42,286
So yeah, I don't have anything to say about the paper.

724
00:28:43,286 --> 00:28:45,386
I don't know if you can really,

725
00:28:45,866 --> 00:28:48,026
I don't even know how you'd begin to model Bitcoin

726
00:28:48,026 --> 00:28:50,846
as a reserve asset for the world

727
00:28:50,846 --> 00:28:52,786
to avoid sanctions risk.

728
00:28:53,346 --> 00:28:54,586
I know that

729
00:28:54,586 --> 00:28:59,246
there was use of Bitcoin

730
00:28:59,246 --> 00:29:02,686
in the Russia-Ukraine war on both sides.

731
00:29:03,746 --> 00:29:08,126
So there's precedent of Bitcoin being used to evade sanctions.

732
00:29:08,926 --> 00:29:12,306
But for a nation state to make it a part of their strategy,

733
00:29:13,226 --> 00:29:13,946
I don't know.

734
00:29:14,146 --> 00:29:18,466
Because most nations don't accept Bitcoin.

735
00:29:19,226 --> 00:29:23,966
And so much of the price of Bitcoin is based on US dollar denominated debt

736
00:29:23,966 --> 00:29:28,306
that the US indirectly controls the price of Bitcoin.

737
00:29:29,246 --> 00:29:32,586
So, you know, evade sanctions from who?

738
00:29:32,986 --> 00:29:34,066
From the U.S.?

739
00:29:34,066 --> 00:29:36,266
Like, I don't know.

740
00:29:36,346 --> 00:29:38,426
Like, this is something that hasn't been tested

741
00:29:38,426 --> 00:29:40,906
and I don't understand the model.

742
00:29:41,306 --> 00:29:43,106
And I think it's just all pure speculation,

743
00:29:43,506 --> 00:29:46,226
which I think is what Scoresby's saying too.

744
00:29:46,486 --> 00:29:49,586
I mean, it is a simulation and Simple Sacker says

745
00:29:49,586 --> 00:29:50,326
it's a simple model,

746
00:29:50,326 --> 00:29:52,946
but I think it is specifically looking at sanctions

747
00:29:52,946 --> 00:29:55,766
from the U.S. and or Europe.

748
00:29:56,706 --> 00:29:58,846
And what, if they're holding U.S. treasuries

749
00:29:58,846 --> 00:30:01,306
or they're holding European treasuries.

750
00:30:01,446 --> 00:30:02,006
I don't know what they're called.

751
00:30:02,386 --> 00:30:03,586
European bank treasuries.

752
00:30:03,866 --> 00:30:05,766
And they get sanctioned like Russia did

753
00:30:05,766 --> 00:30:08,226
where those go to zero

754
00:30:08,226 --> 00:30:12,166
or have some fraction of the value they once had.

755
00:30:13,346 --> 00:30:15,366
If Bitcoin were in that portfolio too,

756
00:30:15,446 --> 00:30:16,066
what would happen?

757
00:30:16,466 --> 00:30:18,246
That's more or less what they're looking at.

758
00:30:18,586 --> 00:30:21,626
So yeah, they probably do not model properly.

759
00:30:22,846 --> 00:30:24,786
And SimpleStacker points this out,

760
00:30:24,966 --> 00:30:26,686
a state-sponsored attack on Bitcoin

761
00:30:26,686 --> 00:30:28,386
affecting its price.

762
00:30:28,846 --> 00:30:31,306
Yeah, I don't think it actually,

763
00:30:31,586 --> 00:30:34,126
I don't actually think like Bitcoin fits in that model,

764
00:30:34,186 --> 00:30:35,566
to be honest, because it's not,

765
00:30:37,226 --> 00:30:39,286
like maybe it fits in this like fiat error,

766
00:30:39,386 --> 00:30:41,286
but I feel like it should have its own model.

767
00:30:41,566 --> 00:30:42,646
Yeah, it's fiat thinking.

768
00:30:42,926 --> 00:30:45,246
Because if you want to hedge yourself,

769
00:30:45,406 --> 00:30:47,126
like you wouldn't just invest in Bitcoin,

770
00:30:47,226 --> 00:30:48,386
you invest in hash power.

771
00:30:50,106 --> 00:30:51,646
Because even if you hold the Bitcoin,

772
00:30:51,766 --> 00:30:52,566
they could still attack,

773
00:30:52,726 --> 00:30:55,146
like the US could still decide to attack you

774
00:30:55,146 --> 00:30:55,866
through hash power.

775
00:30:55,866 --> 00:30:57,846
If they really wanted to,

776
00:30:58,446 --> 00:30:59,026
they could do that.

777
00:30:59,106 --> 00:30:59,746
I think that's why.

778
00:30:59,986 --> 00:31:01,026
As far as like,

779
00:31:01,086 --> 00:31:02,606
if you're in a nation state level,

780
00:31:02,686 --> 00:31:03,626
like you have to think about it.

781
00:31:03,626 --> 00:31:04,686
I like where you're going with this

782
00:31:04,686 --> 00:31:06,606
because I like how Simple Stacker even brings,

783
00:31:06,666 --> 00:31:08,446
I like why Simple Stacker brings this up too

784
00:31:08,446 --> 00:31:09,166
where he says,

785
00:31:09,286 --> 00:31:12,566
yeah, he brings up the mining per country.

786
00:31:13,686 --> 00:31:15,126
So he does bring that up, Topher.

787
00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:16,186
Yeah, you'd have to do both.

788
00:31:16,286 --> 00:31:18,126
You'd have to hedge your bets

789
00:31:18,126 --> 00:31:19,586
with Bitcoin and hash power.

790
00:31:19,786 --> 00:31:20,566
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

791
00:31:20,666 --> 00:31:21,326
That's why I was wondering

792
00:31:21,326 --> 00:31:22,546
where the references is coming.

793
00:31:22,746 --> 00:31:23,766
It doesn't add up.

794
00:31:23,846 --> 00:31:25,126
Like, I don't think they're actually thinking

795
00:31:25,126 --> 00:31:26,146
through like a Bitcoin lens.

796
00:31:26,186 --> 00:31:27,826
I think they're thinking through a fiat lens

797
00:31:27,826 --> 00:31:30,626
trying to understand Bitcoin,

798
00:31:30,726 --> 00:31:31,946
but I don't think they're understanding it

799
00:31:31,946 --> 00:31:34,506
by the models that they're applying it.

800
00:31:36,006 --> 00:31:37,666
This is where they really have to

801
00:31:37,666 --> 00:31:40,886
spend time in the ecosystem.

802
00:31:41,186 --> 00:31:42,526
I would love to see this modeled.

803
00:31:43,326 --> 00:31:44,806
I just don't know if we really have

804
00:31:44,806 --> 00:31:47,386
an accurate way to model this.

805
00:31:48,386 --> 00:31:49,486
What would you recommend

806
00:31:49,486 --> 00:31:51,186
a person like this Reed's car?

807
00:31:52,186 --> 00:31:54,806
Maybe probably what...

808
00:31:54,806 --> 00:31:58,786
maybe probably what,

809
00:31:59,506 --> 00:32:05,346
who would be probably the best companies to talk to?

810
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:07,366
To talk to a company.

811
00:32:09,106 --> 00:32:12,286
Not like an author of one of the Bitcoin books.

812
00:32:13,206 --> 00:32:13,446
Yeah.

813
00:32:14,646 --> 00:32:15,446
I don't know.

814
00:32:15,786 --> 00:32:17,546
I don't know if we've really even talked about this.

815
00:32:17,606 --> 00:32:18,546
I'm sure somebody has.

816
00:32:18,746 --> 00:32:20,366
Yeah, trying to game theory it out.

817
00:32:21,026 --> 00:32:22,926
Well, it hasn't even happened yet.

818
00:32:22,926 --> 00:32:27,426
Like honestly, Bitcoin has had the smoothest sailing fucking ride.

819
00:32:29,366 --> 00:32:36,126
As far as like technologies that have threatened the establishment, like Bitcoin's had a smooth ride.

820
00:32:36,266 --> 00:32:39,006
Like we haven't really had a nation state attack against Bitcoin.

821
00:32:39,006 --> 00:32:43,706
I think it's just because they're like slowly turning on the, like they're just like pulling a frog kind of thing.

822
00:32:43,866 --> 00:32:47,026
That's why I think it looks up here so that way, at least in the United States.

823
00:32:47,026 --> 00:32:52,006
I just think it's not, it hasn't posed much of a threat to the establishment yet.

824
00:32:52,006 --> 00:33:05,086
And they perceive themselves, and to a large extent they are, as being successful in kind of like quelching any peer-to-peer Bitcoin usage, at scale at least.

825
00:33:06,186 --> 00:33:16,246
Again, most of the Kevin Durant of the world, which is probably 95% of Bitcoin users, are all KYC'd into some application or exchange.

826
00:33:16,246 --> 00:33:19,126
so what risk do they pose

827
00:33:19,126 --> 00:33:20,786
if they can call up Coinbase

828
00:33:20,786 --> 00:33:23,426
and ask them to freeze their assets

829
00:33:23,426 --> 00:33:25,226
yeah like the gloves

830
00:33:25,226 --> 00:33:26,246
haven't come off yet

831
00:33:26,246 --> 00:33:28,946
so I don't know how we would model

832
00:33:28,946 --> 00:33:30,966
what is your risk

833
00:33:30,966 --> 00:33:33,166
when we haven't really seen like what that

834
00:33:33,166 --> 00:33:34,566
looks like in practice

835
00:33:34,566 --> 00:33:37,446
we haven't really

836
00:33:37,446 --> 00:33:40,926
there hasn't been like a real war

837
00:33:40,926 --> 00:33:43,106
or attack against Bitcoin

838
00:33:43,106 --> 00:33:44,486
so to speak like China

839
00:33:44,486 --> 00:33:45,646
even China like they

840
00:33:45,646 --> 00:33:48,306
banned Bitcoin mining, but they allowed

841
00:33:48,306 --> 00:33:50,406
all the miners to take their equipment

842
00:33:50,406 --> 00:33:52,026
and leave China

843
00:33:52,026 --> 00:33:53,786
and then come to the US.

844
00:33:54,126 --> 00:33:56,126
They could have seized all the equipment

845
00:33:56,126 --> 00:33:58,006
and just assumed all mining operations.

846
00:33:58,406 --> 00:34:00,166
But they didn't do that. Good point.

847
00:34:00,446 --> 00:34:02,486
So it's like we haven't seen like a real

848
00:34:02,486 --> 00:34:04,466
attack where like a nation state takes

849
00:34:04,466 --> 00:34:06,666
over the hash power. They try to control

850
00:34:06,666 --> 00:34:08,266
block production. Yeah, good point.

851
00:34:08,386 --> 00:34:10,266
Look at how much hash China had.

852
00:34:10,346 --> 00:34:12,166
I didn't realize that, but in 2019

853
00:34:12,166 --> 00:34:13,846
they had almost 80% of hash.

854
00:34:13,846 --> 00:34:15,926
That's so wild to me.

855
00:34:16,286 --> 00:34:16,846
They gave it up.

856
00:34:17,326 --> 00:34:17,766
Wow.

857
00:34:18,386 --> 00:34:18,806
Idiots.

858
00:34:19,926 --> 00:34:21,526
I think they're still mining though.

859
00:34:22,086 --> 00:34:22,926
Oh, I'm sure they are.

860
00:34:23,146 --> 00:34:26,646
But like, I mean, the government's a bunch of idiots over there.

861
00:34:26,806 --> 00:34:34,546
But I think I was reading something recently that said Bitmain, when they overproduce miners, they actually end up mining themselves with them.

862
00:34:34,546 --> 00:34:39,226
So it's like they're constantly producing whether there's buyers or not.

863
00:34:39,366 --> 00:34:42,666
Because in the worst case, they can just mine themselves.

864
00:34:43,166 --> 00:34:45,106
Yeah, they got a good racket going over there, didn't they?

865
00:34:46,126 --> 00:34:47,286
Hopefully that ends soon.

866
00:34:47,306 --> 00:34:47,686
It's crazy.

867
00:34:47,806 --> 00:34:49,386
They gave it all to America.

868
00:34:49,726 --> 00:34:50,066
Look at that.

869
00:34:50,406 --> 00:34:51,486
Yeah, it all came here.

870
00:34:51,486 --> 00:34:52,186
Texas, baby.

871
00:34:52,586 --> 00:34:53,246
Woo, doggy.

872
00:34:53,466 --> 00:34:54,206
And Kazakhstan.

873
00:34:55,146 --> 00:34:55,766
And Kazakhstan?

874
00:34:55,766 --> 00:34:57,326
Gotta go to Kazakhstan to start mining.

875
00:34:57,466 --> 00:34:58,286
Isn't that where...

876
00:34:58,286 --> 00:34:58,806
Borat got it?

877
00:35:00,326 --> 00:35:01,446
It's a real country.

878
00:35:01,606 --> 00:35:02,206
Fucking Borat.

879
00:35:02,446 --> 00:35:03,886
It's a real country with real people.

880
00:35:03,946 --> 00:35:05,066
They all like Borat.

881
00:35:05,506 --> 00:35:07,606
I met a woman from Kazakhstan once.

882
00:35:07,886 --> 00:35:09,266
We had her watch Borat.

883
00:35:09,466 --> 00:35:10,306
She did not like it.

884
00:35:10,426 --> 00:35:10,906
Oh, she did not?

885
00:35:10,906 --> 00:35:12,866
from my country.

886
00:35:14,426 --> 00:35:15,226
Cool stuff.

887
00:35:15,306 --> 00:35:18,046
Isn't that one guy from Vlad?

888
00:35:18,186 --> 00:35:19,206
Isn't Vlad from Kazakhstan?

889
00:35:20,326 --> 00:35:20,806
Romania.

890
00:35:21,246 --> 00:35:22,006
Oh, he's from Romania?

891
00:35:22,126 --> 00:35:22,926
I'm sorry.

892
00:35:23,346 --> 00:35:25,066
People in either Romania or Kazakhstan.

893
00:35:25,526 --> 00:35:27,286
I don't know the countries.

894
00:35:27,846 --> 00:35:29,466
No, I think he's told everybody he's from Romania.

895
00:35:30,286 --> 00:35:30,486
Cool.

896
00:35:31,566 --> 00:35:33,046
A lot of Bitcoiners in Romania.

897
00:35:33,746 --> 00:35:34,666
They don't mind.

898
00:35:35,046 --> 00:35:36,266
The number one top story of the week

899
00:35:36,266 --> 00:35:38,186
is a brief history of the Satoshi.

900
00:35:38,186 --> 00:35:39,986
This is Scoresby.

901
00:35:39,986 --> 00:35:42,166
seven comments, 5,701 cents.

902
00:35:42,286 --> 00:35:43,286
Keon, what's this?

903
00:35:43,506 --> 00:35:44,926
Yeah, Scoresby tells us,

904
00:35:45,206 --> 00:35:46,286
or like charts the history

905
00:35:46,286 --> 00:35:49,326
of using the word Satoshi

906
00:35:49,326 --> 00:35:51,426
to represent the smallest unit of Bitcoin,

907
00:35:51,646 --> 00:35:54,466
one 100 millionth of a Bitcoin.

908
00:35:55,106 --> 00:35:57,146
And apparently there was no,

909
00:35:57,166 --> 00:35:58,686
there was like no consensus on it.

910
00:35:58,746 --> 00:36:00,406
It just kind of emerged naturally

911
00:36:00,406 --> 00:36:04,406
from the depths of the Bitcoin talk forums.

912
00:36:04,606 --> 00:36:05,866
And he goes through all the kind of,

913
00:36:06,026 --> 00:36:08,026
like the posts where it was like first mentioned.

914
00:36:08,026 --> 00:36:19,386
And I guess it's by this guy Rybuck and he's trying to use it for some higher denomination of Bitcoin than a single Bitcoin.

915
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:25,386
And then a bunch of other people mention it over the years, too, in other contexts.

916
00:36:26,166 --> 00:36:38,426
Luke Dasher even comments in a thread involving these denominations praising the imperial measuring system.

917
00:36:40,526 --> 00:36:43,846
Sort of just a fun fact in there.

918
00:36:43,846 --> 00:36:55,146
But I think the first usage of it appearing to be one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin is somewhere down in there after the Luke Dasher tweet.

919
00:37:00,426 --> 00:37:02,286
Well, it was Rybuck.

920
00:37:02,866 --> 00:37:06,386
Well, Rybuck first mentions it, but he doesn't mention it for one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin.

921
00:37:07,186 --> 00:37:08,566
Oh, yeah, it was a millionth.

922
00:37:08,606 --> 00:37:08,826
Okay.

923
00:37:08,826 --> 00:37:09,266
Yeah.

924
00:37:10,766 --> 00:37:13,886
Which we now call a bit, I believe.

925
00:37:17,146 --> 00:37:18,066
This guy.

926
00:37:18,326 --> 00:37:19,026
This guy did it.

927
00:37:19,126 --> 00:37:20,146
Marcus of Augustus?

928
00:37:20,366 --> 00:37:21,826
Marcus of Augustus is...

929
00:37:22,606 --> 00:37:22,846
Yeah.

930
00:37:23,846 --> 00:37:25,586
He's good at naming things, perhaps.

931
00:37:25,906 --> 00:37:27,826
Because he has his own pseudonym.

932
00:37:28,506 --> 00:37:29,766
Oh, so he's the one that named it?

933
00:37:29,766 --> 00:37:29,866
Pretty funny.

934
00:37:29,928 --> 00:37:36,388
yeah oh cool i didn't know that that's yeah that's where it came up and this was what year

935
00:37:36,388 --> 00:37:42,788
2011 so we had the name in 2011 beautiful i love that that's where we began using it i love that

936
00:37:42,788 --> 00:37:49,128
and then so we started using it then what's this then he uh scores be charts like other

937
00:37:49,128 --> 00:37:53,428
encounters where people are mentioning it as if it had always existed had always been named that

938
00:37:53,428 --> 00:37:58,088
way basically dude i feel like for me like if i would have never known satoshi's existed i would

939
00:37:58,088 --> 00:38:04,048
have never bought my first Bitcoin. I think that was like why I thought I could buy a Bitcoin,

940
00:38:04,508 --> 00:38:10,868
a whole Bitcoin one day was because I heard of Satoshi's. To be honest, that's how I was able

941
00:38:10,868 --> 00:38:15,828
to convince myself that I could afford one Bitcoin one day. Yeah. I hope to get over your unit bias.

942
00:38:16,108 --> 00:38:21,668
Yeah. It says it in here. There's, I think one, I think it might've been Marcus, whatever,

943
00:38:21,668 --> 00:38:23,368
Marcus Augustus

944
00:38:23,368 --> 00:38:24,468
but he said

945
00:38:24,468 --> 00:38:26,308
you don't need to

946
00:38:26,308 --> 00:38:27,648
look after your Bitcoin

947
00:38:27,648 --> 00:38:28,968
you just need to worry about

948
00:38:28,968 --> 00:38:30,668
or worry about your Satoshis

949
00:38:30,668 --> 00:38:31,568
and your Bitcoin

950
00:38:31,568 --> 00:38:32,308
will look after itself

951
00:38:32,308 --> 00:38:33,688
it's up there in bolds

952
00:38:33,688 --> 00:38:33,908
yeah

953
00:38:33,908 --> 00:38:34,708
big bolds

954
00:38:34,708 --> 00:38:35,228
what is it here

955
00:38:35,228 --> 00:38:36,428
yeah look after your Satoshis

956
00:38:36,428 --> 00:38:36,968
and the Bitcoins

957
00:38:36,968 --> 00:38:37,948
will look after themselves

958
00:38:37,948 --> 00:38:39,188
which is a great quote

959
00:38:39,188 --> 00:38:40,248
I'm surprised we don't have

960
00:38:40,248 --> 00:38:41,028
cool

961
00:38:41,028 --> 00:38:42,068
that isn't repeated

962
00:38:42,068 --> 00:38:42,888
because it's a

963
00:38:42,888 --> 00:38:43,648
it's

964
00:38:43,648 --> 00:38:44,648
it fights the unis

965
00:38:44,648 --> 00:38:45,588
the unibias

966
00:38:45,588 --> 00:38:46,788
good stuff

967
00:38:46,788 --> 00:38:47,428
yeah

968
00:38:47,428 --> 00:38:48,508
with Sagrish Day

969
00:38:48,508 --> 00:38:50,288
I got top comment from

970
00:38:50,288 --> 00:38:50,608
Um,

971
00:38:51,328 --> 00:38:51,788
Darth coin.

972
00:38:52,468 --> 00:38:52,828
Oh,

973
00:38:52,868 --> 00:38:53,448
was it from Darth coin?

974
00:38:53,488 --> 00:38:53,748
He said,

975
00:38:53,888 --> 00:38:55,148
I have a simple rule.

976
00:38:55,168 --> 00:38:56,808
When I deal with on-chain transactions,

977
00:38:56,808 --> 00:38:58,688
all my wallet apps are set for BTC.

978
00:38:58,868 --> 00:38:59,728
When I deal with lighting payments,

979
00:38:59,768 --> 00:39:00,968
all my water steps to sets.

980
00:39:01,328 --> 00:39:02,528
So you'll never get confused,

981
00:39:02,628 --> 00:39:04,408
mislead or scam to do mistakes that cost you.

982
00:39:04,668 --> 00:39:05,028
Exactly.

983
00:39:06,308 --> 00:39:07,088
That's what I do.

984
00:39:10,568 --> 00:39:10,968
Topher,

985
00:39:11,008 --> 00:39:12,048
what do you think about all this stuff?

986
00:39:12,188 --> 00:39:15,128
Satoshi's or what's the other one they're trying to do?

987
00:39:15,328 --> 00:39:16,848
What's the European version they're trying to do?

988
00:39:17,868 --> 00:39:18,148
Uh,

989
00:39:18,188 --> 00:39:18,508
no,

990
00:39:18,708 --> 00:39:19,228
well,

991
00:39:19,728 --> 00:39:20,168
John,

992
00:39:20,288 --> 00:39:22,248
Carvalho. The European version.

993
00:39:22,448 --> 00:39:24,268
Oh, John Carvalho is the European version.

994
00:39:24,408 --> 00:39:26,428
He's trying to rename Satoshi's

995
00:39:26,428 --> 00:39:28,348
Bitcoin. Cool. Keep that in your...

996
00:39:28,348 --> 00:39:30,368
That's what I think. Oh, what about you, Topher?

997
00:39:30,488 --> 00:39:32,448
Do you have... Oh, Satoshi's all the

998
00:39:32,448 --> 00:39:33,868
way. Okay. I think

999
00:39:33,868 --> 00:39:36,408
I've realized there's like the Satoshi's

1000
00:39:36,408 --> 00:39:38,408
America and then there's like the European...

1001
00:39:39,988 --> 00:39:40,388
This is

1002
00:39:40,388 --> 00:39:42,228
like the... I think this is more millimeters.

1003
00:39:42,488 --> 00:39:44,288
What is that? The inches? Yeah,

1004
00:39:44,408 --> 00:39:46,248
meters versus the... I think this is...

1005
00:39:46,248 --> 00:39:48,368
I think this has more to do with that than

1006
00:39:48,368 --> 00:39:50,168
it does have to do with actual like...

1007
00:39:50,288 --> 00:39:52,208
Anything else?

1008
00:39:52,288 --> 00:39:53,288
I think it's just people

1009
00:39:53,288 --> 00:39:54,328
trying to middle manage

1010
00:39:54,328 --> 00:39:55,268
Bitcoin to death.

1011
00:39:55,628 --> 00:39:56,608
No, I actually think

1012
00:39:56,608 --> 00:39:57,308
it has more to do

1013
00:39:57,308 --> 00:39:58,048
with like a European

1014
00:39:58,048 --> 00:39:59,168
versus like a

1015
00:39:59,168 --> 00:40:00,048
American

1016
00:40:00,048 --> 00:40:01,468
Southern Hemisphere.

1017
00:40:01,688 --> 00:40:02,648
Wait, not Southern Hemisphere.

1018
00:40:03,068 --> 00:40:03,528
Western Hemisphere.

1019
00:40:03,528 --> 00:40:04,788
So we'll have like

1020
00:40:04,788 --> 00:40:07,088
a kilobitcoin

1021
00:40:07,088 --> 00:40:08,348
and a millibitcoin.

1022
00:40:08,448 --> 00:40:09,328
I actually think so.

1023
00:40:09,408 --> 00:40:10,308
Like I wouldn't be surprised

1024
00:40:10,308 --> 00:40:10,988
it has more to do

1025
00:40:10,988 --> 00:40:11,808
with that kind of logic

1026
00:40:11,808 --> 00:40:12,648
than anything else.

1027
00:40:13,248 --> 00:40:13,728
This is where my

1028
00:40:13,728 --> 00:40:14,568
spidey sense is.

1029
00:40:14,568 --> 00:40:15,168
Yeah, there may be like

1030
00:40:15,168 --> 00:40:16,628
there may be overthinking

1031
00:40:16,628 --> 00:40:17,848
units.

1032
00:40:18,308 --> 00:40:19,168
Because I think it probably

1033
00:40:19,168 --> 00:40:21,368
makes more sense for them because they're Europeans

1034
00:40:21,368 --> 00:40:22,808
and they think in

1035
00:40:22,808 --> 00:40:24,528
kilometers and shit.

1036
00:40:25,488 --> 00:40:27,128
And we're Americans, we think in miles.

1037
00:40:27,888 --> 00:40:29,068
If you really believe...

1038
00:40:29,068 --> 00:40:31,048
Because what's longer, a mile or a kilometer? I don't know.

1039
00:40:32,148 --> 00:40:33,048
Does it matter?

1040
00:40:33,168 --> 00:40:33,568
We're winning.

1041
00:40:34,848 --> 00:40:37,308
This is where I feel like Satoshi's

1042
00:40:37,308 --> 00:40:39,228
feel much more, so of course we want

1043
00:40:39,228 --> 00:40:41,128
much more. Why would we want anything

1044
00:40:41,128 --> 00:40:41,508
less?

1045
00:40:42,928 --> 00:40:45,088
If he really wanted to change it, he could change it in the

1046
00:40:45,088 --> 00:40:45,708
source code.

1047
00:40:47,088 --> 00:40:49,128
Because a coin is still a hundred million

1048
00:40:49,128 --> 00:40:51,488
Satoshi. I do. I will say one thing.

1049
00:40:51,528 --> 00:40:53,528
I do like the little B that the

1050
00:40:53,528 --> 00:40:55,568
logo B or whatever. So I

1051
00:40:55,568 --> 00:40:57,208
don't mind that as the logo, but

1052
00:40:57,208 --> 00:40:59,548
I think you should let it. Oh, yeah. You were flip-flopping

1053
00:40:59,548 --> 00:41:01,168
last night. Well, I do.

1054
00:41:01,248 --> 00:41:03,548
I do like the B. I do like the B

1055
00:41:03,548 --> 00:41:05,568
logo. Like, I don't mind

1056
00:41:05,568 --> 00:41:07,688
that. I think that was like, if there's anything,

1057
00:41:07,808 --> 00:41:09,508
I like the B logo. I just don't

1058
00:41:09,508 --> 00:41:11,208
like it not being called Satoshi's.

1059
00:41:12,308 --> 00:41:13,168
Does that make sense?

1060
00:41:13,408 --> 00:41:15,148
But why not? It's like a lightning bolt.

1061
00:41:15,708 --> 00:41:16,648
I like that too.

1062
00:41:16,648 --> 00:41:18,968
because the cool thing about sats

1063
00:41:18,968 --> 00:41:21,288
is you have satoshis

1064
00:41:21,288 --> 00:41:24,708
it emerged organically

1065
00:41:24,708 --> 00:41:26,928
you have the name of the creator in there

1066
00:41:26,928 --> 00:41:28,668
you can shorten it

1067
00:41:28,668 --> 00:41:30,508
sats it rolls off the tongue

1068
00:41:30,508 --> 00:41:31,568
it does roll off the tongue

1069
00:41:31,568 --> 00:41:33,508
sling me some sats

1070
00:41:33,508 --> 00:41:35,568
and we have the little lightning bolt

1071
00:41:35,568 --> 00:41:36,528
which is an emoji

1072
00:41:36,528 --> 00:41:39,688
so we don't need to wait for some organizational body

1073
00:41:39,688 --> 00:41:41,888
to approve a currency emoji

1074
00:41:41,888 --> 00:41:42,708
for bitcoin

1075
00:41:42,708 --> 00:41:44,788
we already have an emoji

1076
00:41:44,788 --> 00:41:46,628
I think we should use the dollar sign personally

1077
00:41:46,628 --> 00:41:47,908
but for Bitcoin.

1078
00:41:48,068 --> 00:41:48,348
Yeah.

1079
00:41:48,748 --> 00:41:49,708
For Satoshi's.

1080
00:41:49,708 --> 00:41:50,788
For Satoshi's.

1081
00:41:50,928 --> 00:41:51,488
I don't know.

1082
00:41:51,608 --> 00:41:52,308
Just the dollars.

1083
00:41:52,368 --> 00:41:53,588
You have it up here at the top.

1084
00:41:53,708 --> 00:41:54,108
I can't.

1085
00:41:54,128 --> 00:41:54,868
That's confusing.

1086
00:41:55,328 --> 00:41:55,748
I know.

1087
00:41:55,988 --> 00:41:56,708
But that's fucking good.

1088
00:41:57,128 --> 00:41:58,808
Austin wants to say something.

1089
00:41:59,608 --> 00:42:00,128
Come here.

1090
00:42:00,188 --> 00:42:00,448
Come here.

1091
00:42:00,508 --> 00:42:01,948
Austin, you want to say something?

1092
00:42:02,068 --> 00:42:02,528
Give him the mic.

1093
00:42:03,848 --> 00:42:04,768
I don't know.

1094
00:42:04,848 --> 00:42:05,588
I don't know what you're talking about.

1095
00:42:05,588 --> 00:42:07,028
I thought you were talking about the denomination.

1096
00:42:07,248 --> 00:42:08,408
Yeah, we're talking about the denomination.

1097
00:42:08,708 --> 00:42:08,868
Yeah.

1098
00:42:09,368 --> 00:42:10,368
This is what I want to talk about.

1099
00:42:10,468 --> 00:42:11,108
Fuck Op return.

1100
00:42:11,328 --> 00:42:12,168
Let's talk about this.

1101
00:42:12,888 --> 00:42:14,508
I mean, honestly, this is.

1102
00:42:15,648 --> 00:42:16,448
Give him the mic.

1103
00:42:16,448 --> 00:42:23,128
You know, Bitcoin developers need something to do.

1104
00:42:23,788 --> 00:42:27,068
Might as well change the units, change the filters, right?

1105
00:42:27,128 --> 00:42:28,028
We got to stay employed.

1106
00:42:28,888 --> 00:42:29,968
I mean, that's my only point.

1107
00:42:30,068 --> 00:42:30,328
Okay.

1108
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:31,608
Dang, coming in hot.

1109
00:42:31,808 --> 00:42:32,508
Coming in hot.

1110
00:42:33,428 --> 00:42:34,888
He was in the pleb dev's office.

1111
00:42:34,988 --> 00:42:36,328
Now he's coming out of the hot box.

1112
00:42:36,588 --> 00:42:36,888
It's true.

1113
00:42:36,948 --> 00:42:40,168
There's nothing going on in Bitcoin except dumb debates like this.

1114
00:42:40,568 --> 00:42:45,648
I mean, like, when was the last, like, so I think of like full RBF.

1115
00:42:45,648 --> 00:42:51,008
That was like a meaningful kind of change that we argued about in a similar manner.

1116
00:42:51,728 --> 00:42:53,148
So there's still going to be those.

1117
00:42:53,448 --> 00:42:58,028
But in maybe this, I don't know if the Satoshis are it.

1118
00:42:58,108 --> 00:43:01,828
Maybe in the future, maybe when Bitcoin is at such a high price

1119
00:43:01,828 --> 00:43:08,328
or we start to actually struggle with the units as we're hitting mass adoption.

1120
00:43:08,568 --> 00:43:11,568
But right now we're like, I don't know, bike shedding?

1121
00:43:12,088 --> 00:43:13,928
Is that the, or grasping for straws?

1122
00:43:13,928 --> 00:43:20,548
I don't know. Jack Dorsey thought it was important. Maybe he has a hand on the pulse.

1123
00:43:21,168 --> 00:43:37,668
Yeah. And so there, maybe I would like to see a really good argument from like, hey, we've got all this data. We did all these user tests. We're deploying Bitcoin payments at scale larger than anyone. Here's a sound argument for why these units are better or this better conversion rate.

1124
00:43:37,668 --> 00:43:43,108
It's true. It looks like it was kind of top-down and not researched based on what they were talking about.

1125
00:43:43,428 --> 00:43:43,608
Yeah.

1126
00:43:43,848 --> 00:43:45,908
This post isn't really about that.

1127
00:43:46,048 --> 00:43:50,108
It's just about the history of the Satoshi naming, but we started to talk about it.

1128
00:43:50,728 --> 00:43:58,268
See, Satoshis actually have a history, whereas just renaming it to Bitcoin just erases all that history.

1129
00:43:58,268 --> 00:44:03,188
Yeah. My plebs by since tells me that they're trying to remove Satoshi from the name Bitcoin.

1130
00:44:03,188 --> 00:44:06,608
so there's no kind of cypherpunk movement

1131
00:44:06,608 --> 00:44:07,748
anymore attached to Bitcoin.

1132
00:44:07,928 --> 00:44:10,568
It becomes more palatable to the masses.

1133
00:44:10,828 --> 00:44:11,508
We should just cut up.

1134
00:44:11,888 --> 00:44:13,508
I'm going to, we should get one vote of cut up

1135
00:44:13,508 --> 00:44:14,988
every time you say Spidey Sense

1136
00:44:14,988 --> 00:44:17,148
and just all the stuff that comes after.

1137
00:44:17,328 --> 00:44:18,568
Car Spidey Sense.

1138
00:44:18,768 --> 00:44:19,488
Club Spidey Sense.

1139
00:44:19,708 --> 00:44:20,748
This is Club Spidey Sense.

1140
00:44:21,008 --> 00:44:23,428
And so like, this is where I think this is more of like,

1141
00:44:23,908 --> 00:44:26,568
it's trying to appear more to the masses

1142
00:44:26,568 --> 00:44:28,968
and global mass adoption, which is fine.

1143
00:44:29,428 --> 00:44:31,088
But let's just be honest about these things.

1144
00:44:31,248 --> 00:44:32,148
Like, that's all I'm saying.

1145
00:44:32,148 --> 00:44:33,108
because that's why I think

1146
00:44:33,108 --> 00:44:33,888
it's really going on.

1147
00:44:33,968 --> 00:44:34,928
It's like we need to talk,

1148
00:44:35,028 --> 00:44:36,048
we need to call them bits

1149
00:44:36,048 --> 00:44:37,808
so that way it's more palatable

1150
00:44:37,808 --> 00:44:38,468
to the masses.

1151
00:44:38,648 --> 00:44:39,448
Let's call it bits.

1152
00:44:39,668 --> 00:44:41,148
Cool, let's have that conversation now

1153
00:44:41,148 --> 00:44:42,308
instead of having the conversation

1154
00:44:42,308 --> 00:44:42,728
of like,

1155
00:44:43,088 --> 00:44:44,508
oh, this is better because of this.

1156
00:44:44,588 --> 00:44:45,408
It's like, no, it's not, dude.

1157
00:44:45,468 --> 00:44:46,788
I am remembering

1158
00:44:46,788 --> 00:44:49,748
Andreas on Joe Rogan

1159
00:44:49,748 --> 00:44:51,608
like the first time in 2014.

1160
00:44:52,088 --> 00:44:53,068
He's talking bits.

1161
00:44:53,948 --> 00:44:54,528
He's saying like,

1162
00:44:54,588 --> 00:44:57,288
oh, this is actually bits and millibits,

1163
00:44:57,668 --> 00:44:58,928
which I think is documented

1164
00:44:58,928 --> 00:45:00,508
in Mastering Bitcoin as well.

1165
00:45:00,588 --> 00:45:01,948
He's like, oh, I sent you

1166
00:45:02,148 --> 00:45:02,908
you know,

1167
00:45:02,948 --> 00:45:05,008
I'm sending you a hundred bits and,

1168
00:45:05,188 --> 00:45:05,408
Oh no,

1169
00:45:05,428 --> 00:45:05,568
no,

1170
00:45:05,568 --> 00:45:07,488
that's a hundred millibits or something like that.

1171
00:45:07,608 --> 00:45:09,928
So that's kind of a,

1172
00:45:10,208 --> 00:45:11,268
Andre's also a shit coiner now.

1173
00:45:11,348 --> 00:45:14,008
So it's kind of interesting.

1174
00:45:14,248 --> 00:45:15,408
Andre's is the original shit.

1175
00:45:15,468 --> 00:45:15,748
I think,

1176
00:45:15,948 --> 00:45:17,768
I think Jimmy song is also interest.

1177
00:45:18,108 --> 00:45:19,528
Also likes the name bits.

1178
00:45:19,868 --> 00:45:20,348
He's a,

1179
00:45:20,448 --> 00:45:22,208
he's pro pro bits.

1180
00:45:22,208 --> 00:45:22,528
I think,

1181
00:45:22,648 --> 00:45:23,028
I think,

1182
00:45:23,108 --> 00:45:25,368
I think it's a period of time that you were in Bitcoin.

1183
00:45:25,528 --> 00:45:25,948
Not Jimmy.

1184
00:45:26,188 --> 00:45:26,888
Don't tell me Jimmy.

1185
00:45:27,228 --> 00:45:27,928
And 2013,

1186
00:45:28,228 --> 00:45:29,288
I think he's in favor of bits.

1187
00:45:29,388 --> 00:45:31,208
I think he wanted to rename Satoshi.

1188
00:45:31,208 --> 00:45:32,788
Until I see a vlog post by him.

1189
00:45:33,108 --> 00:45:35,388
But I think with some really sound arguments around it,

1190
00:45:35,428 --> 00:45:37,148
then I'll listen.

1191
00:45:38,088 --> 00:45:39,168
Why not just say sats?

1192
00:45:39,268 --> 00:45:40,308
Why is it so hard?

1193
00:45:40,428 --> 00:45:41,448
Yeah, what's so wrong with sats?

1194
00:45:41,448 --> 00:45:43,088
Well, we're like in it, I think is the argument.

1195
00:45:43,088 --> 00:45:44,388
We have dollars and cents.

1196
00:45:44,788 --> 00:45:46,028
So why can't we have Bitcoin and sats?

1197
00:45:46,028 --> 00:45:47,948
I'll tell you another reason why it doesn't make any sense.

1198
00:45:48,048 --> 00:45:49,508
All these guys that we're talking about,

1199
00:45:49,768 --> 00:45:50,708
they don't even use Lightning.

1200
00:45:51,248 --> 00:45:53,268
So I don't think they get a vote,

1201
00:45:53,368 --> 00:45:55,228
like personally, if I'm being completely honest.

1202
00:45:55,808 --> 00:45:56,948
Like we at least use Lightning.

1203
00:45:57,328 --> 00:45:58,508
Well, we talked to Dorsey,

1204
00:45:58,768 --> 00:46:00,108
and our company uses Lightning.

1205
00:46:00,108 --> 00:46:01,808
Bitcoin. Okay, Dorsey does.

1206
00:46:02,148 --> 00:46:04,328
Airlog, Bitcoin Airlog, John Carvalho,

1207
00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:06,008
his company is building a lightning wallet.

1208
00:46:06,008 --> 00:46:07,668
Sure. So we're just going to have like

1209
00:46:07,668 --> 00:46:09,788
2.1 quadrillion Bitcoins?

1210
00:46:10,008 --> 00:46:11,908
Is that like what we're moving to?

1211
00:46:12,288 --> 00:46:13,228
That's what they want, yeah.

1212
00:46:13,368 --> 00:46:15,568
I just feel like it defaces

1213
00:46:15,568 --> 00:46:17,368
the bits. It totally does.

1214
00:46:17,368 --> 00:46:19,688
It makes it look like other bits

1215
00:46:19,688 --> 00:46:21,728
on the internet. Like there's history here.

1216
00:46:21,808 --> 00:46:23,068
You should embrace that history.

1217
00:46:23,208 --> 00:46:24,928
You should try to fucking erase it.

1218
00:46:24,968 --> 00:46:26,288
Look at all the history. Sanitize it.

1219
00:46:26,648 --> 00:46:29,308
This is all corporate bullshit. You have to educate people

1220
00:46:29,308 --> 00:46:33,428
on the history and that's maybe inconvenient if you're like, look at this history.

1221
00:46:33,428 --> 00:46:37,348
You're running an exchange and you want people to feel like they're getting a lot of something.

1222
00:46:37,888 --> 00:46:38,388
Yeah.

1223
00:46:38,388 --> 00:46:39,848
Rather than a fraction of something.

1224
00:46:39,848 --> 00:46:41,008
I'm saying Sats, baby.

1225
00:46:41,308 --> 00:46:41,808
Nope.

1226
00:46:43,008 --> 00:46:43,588
Are you moving?

1227
00:46:43,588 --> 00:46:45,548
When are you moving to Bits?

1228
00:46:45,548 --> 00:46:46,468
It sounds like you're about to.

1229
00:46:46,548 --> 00:46:46,808
Yeah.

1230
00:46:46,808 --> 00:46:57,664
It says Stacker News Are we going to call it Stacker Bits Are we calling it Stacker Bits I proud advocate I like stats obviously We should call them cowboy credits Cowboy Bits There we go Cowboy Bits now

1231
00:46:57,824 --> 00:46:58,484
Are we, this is what we're doing?

1232
00:46:58,644 --> 00:46:59,744
I'd be in support of that.

1233
00:46:59,864 --> 00:47:00,344
I should make.

1234
00:47:00,424 --> 00:47:01,044
Bits are cool.

1235
00:47:01,284 --> 00:47:02,324
That doesn't even sound right.

1236
00:47:02,964 --> 00:47:06,204
I want to go back to my point of like, okay, where's the data, right?

1237
00:47:06,204 --> 00:47:07,504
Because there's lots of arguments.

1238
00:47:07,724 --> 00:47:08,124
Exactly.

1239
00:47:08,264 --> 00:47:09,664
Let's bring some data into the picture.

1240
00:47:09,664 --> 00:47:16,264
And then also just as a principle, the burden of proof, the burden of you should do something

1241
00:47:16,264 --> 00:47:18,064
should be on the person trying to make a change.

1242
00:47:18,204 --> 00:47:20,664
So it's like, come with data.

1243
00:47:21,304 --> 00:47:22,304
Not with seniority.

1244
00:47:22,564 --> 00:47:22,744
Right?

1245
00:47:22,844 --> 00:47:25,104
But then also probably come with a,

1246
00:47:25,304 --> 00:47:27,084
first of all, a spec that considers

1247
00:47:27,084 --> 00:47:28,544
that is like backwards compatible.

1248
00:47:29,124 --> 00:47:30,124
Well, he has a spec.

1249
00:47:30,124 --> 00:47:32,484
Allow exchanges to opt in to this other.

1250
00:47:32,504 --> 00:47:34,124
To Corrales credit, he does have a spec,

1251
00:47:34,284 --> 00:47:35,364
but he doesn't actually.

1252
00:47:35,364 --> 00:47:37,744
And to be fair, I haven't fully read the spec.

1253
00:47:37,824 --> 00:47:40,004
So maybe he considers like backwards compatibility.

1254
00:47:40,004 --> 00:47:40,804
We've talked about that.

1255
00:47:40,824 --> 00:47:41,684
I've had him on the podcast.

1256
00:47:41,784 --> 00:47:42,864
We've talked about this before.

1257
00:47:43,184 --> 00:47:43,804
That's not the problem.

1258
00:47:43,884 --> 00:47:45,664
I'm just saying like he doesn't actually have

1259
00:47:45,664 --> 00:47:46,784
what you're talking about, the data.

1260
00:47:47,244 --> 00:47:48,164
He just has a spec.

1261
00:47:48,504 --> 00:47:48,964
Fair enough.

1262
00:47:49,044 --> 00:47:51,224
And like, hey, maybe he just doesn't have access

1263
00:47:51,224 --> 00:47:53,024
to the data, like, you know, whatever.

1264
00:47:53,124 --> 00:47:55,384
They have their BitKit wallet data,

1265
00:47:55,524 --> 00:47:57,964
but, you know, this is where Jack could step in.

1266
00:47:58,024 --> 00:47:58,764
And it's like, look,

1267
00:47:58,864 --> 00:48:00,824
if there was a backwards compatible spec

1268
00:48:00,824 --> 00:48:04,804
and exchanges decide they want to opt into it.

1269
00:48:06,084 --> 00:48:08,384
Dude, Cash App is making like $4 billion a year.

1270
00:48:08,464 --> 00:48:09,084
No, they're fine.

1271
00:48:09,264 --> 00:48:12,524
I mean, that's like, hey, that's just my devil's advocate position.

1272
00:48:12,644 --> 00:48:14,304
That's for me where it'd be like acceptable.

1273
00:48:14,644 --> 00:48:15,444
I'm agreeing with you.

1274
00:48:15,444 --> 00:48:16,644
I'm saying if they have 4 billion,

1275
00:48:16,764 --> 00:48:17,844
they make $4 billion a year.

1276
00:48:17,924 --> 00:48:18,864
They have the data.

1277
00:48:19,684 --> 00:48:20,844
They could put that together.

1278
00:48:20,964 --> 00:48:23,964
They could make a river thing like river does.

1279
00:48:24,164 --> 00:48:25,344
So yeah,

1280
00:48:25,344 --> 00:48:25,904
I agree with you.

1281
00:48:25,944 --> 00:48:26,624
They could do that.

1282
00:48:28,284 --> 00:48:29,464
Send all your feedback to,

1283
00:48:29,464 --> 00:48:32,344
to Bitcoin error log at gmail.com.

1284
00:48:32,704 --> 00:48:34,744
Club dev at club.com.

1285
00:48:34,744 --> 00:48:35,264
There you go.

1286
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:37,184
Fuck bits.

1287
00:48:37,964 --> 00:48:38,824
Fuck the bib.

1288
00:48:39,904 --> 00:48:41,444
Fuck focus groups.

1289
00:48:41,884 --> 00:48:44,224
I don't care what a focus group says about it.

1290
00:48:44,224 --> 00:48:45,604
I know you're playing devil's advocate.

1291
00:48:45,884 --> 00:48:46,224
Bring it.

1292
00:48:46,324 --> 00:48:47,244
Yeah, bring it to Bitcoin.

1293
00:48:47,304 --> 00:48:48,744
Talk if you want to change the name.

1294
00:48:50,024 --> 00:48:52,324
I think Saylor was right.

1295
00:48:53,544 --> 00:48:54,564
Saylor was right.

1296
00:48:55,104 --> 00:48:56,064
If you find, like,

1297
00:48:56,204 --> 00:48:58,584
funding people trying to do the best thing for Bitcoin

1298
00:48:58,584 --> 00:48:59,904
will probably kill Bitcoin.

1299
00:49:00,064 --> 00:49:01,904
Because, like, now we just have all this

1300
00:49:01,904 --> 00:49:03,444
middle manager bullshit happening.

1301
00:49:04,044 --> 00:49:06,204
It's like nothing real is being developed right now.

1302
00:49:06,244 --> 00:49:07,684
It's just all middle manager bullshit.

1303
00:49:08,204 --> 00:49:09,344
Arguing about Operaturn.

1304
00:49:09,524 --> 00:49:11,484
Arguing about, are we going to call it stats or bits?

1305
00:49:11,624 --> 00:49:12,124
Or Bitcoin?

1306
00:49:12,904 --> 00:49:13,784
Fuck all of this shit.

1307
00:49:13,784 --> 00:49:16,284
We need like a Steve Jobs to come into Bitcoin.

1308
00:49:16,804 --> 00:49:18,504
Just like, fuck what the user thinks.

1309
00:49:18,584 --> 00:49:19,484
They don't know what they want.

1310
00:49:19,544 --> 00:49:20,764
I know what the user wants.

1311
00:49:21,464 --> 00:49:25,364
Like, you need that kind of alpha to just like put shit out there.

1312
00:49:26,284 --> 00:49:28,584
Dude, like, Sats is like, you got the culture.

1313
00:49:29,144 --> 00:49:30,504
You got the sex appeal.

1314
00:49:30,684 --> 00:49:32,244
Like, it's already established.

1315
00:49:32,464 --> 00:49:33,904
All the builders use it.

1316
00:49:34,484 --> 00:49:36,784
Like, why would you want to rip that out?

1317
00:49:36,944 --> 00:49:39,024
Do some middle manager shit and just like rip it out.

1318
00:49:39,064 --> 00:49:41,524
We're going to change it to Bitcoin because our focus group said.

1319
00:49:41,524 --> 00:49:42,484
They're trying to make it.

1320
00:49:42,484 --> 00:49:44,164
That's scary.

1321
00:49:44,164 --> 00:49:45,804
My pleb Spidey sense tells me

1322
00:49:45,804 --> 00:49:47,304
we're trying to make it palatable to the masses.

1323
00:49:47,524 --> 00:49:50,164
That's why it's not buttoned up, Topher.

1324
00:49:50,424 --> 00:49:51,904
Can you imagine what Bitcoin would be like

1325
00:49:51,904 --> 00:49:53,824
if we tried to make it palatable to the masses?

1326
00:49:53,844 --> 00:49:55,004
We need to scale to 8 billion people.

1327
00:49:55,004 --> 00:49:55,484
Since the beginning.

1328
00:49:55,644 --> 00:49:56,384
Did you not get the memo?

1329
00:49:56,644 --> 00:49:58,004
We need to scale to 8 billion people.

1330
00:50:01,404 --> 00:50:02,304
Fuck that memo.

1331
00:50:03,564 --> 00:50:03,964
Anyways.

1332
00:50:04,904 --> 00:50:06,704
Dude, 8 billion people can use it now.

1333
00:50:07,024 --> 00:50:10,164
We have 2.1 quadrillion Satoshis.

1334
00:50:10,164 --> 00:50:13,524
Satoshis. There's plenty of Satoshis to go around.

1335
00:50:13,644 --> 00:50:16,124
But if they were called Bitcoins, there'd be more to go around.

1336
00:50:18,404 --> 00:50:20,724
Right? That's the argument. I don't know.

1337
00:50:20,884 --> 00:50:25,504
Yes. We need to rename Benjamins to dollars.

1338
00:50:26,644 --> 00:50:30,644
So now if I have a dollar, I feel like I have a Benjamin now.

1339
00:50:31,084 --> 00:50:34,144
Because dollars is just not enough in this economy.

1340
00:50:34,664 --> 00:50:36,344
It's just not enough to have a dollar.

1341
00:50:36,344 --> 00:50:38,384
So we rename it to Benjamins

1342
00:50:38,384 --> 00:50:41,124
And now I feel like I have a stack of Benjamins in my wallet

1343
00:50:41,124 --> 00:50:42,964
Just call a dollar a hundred dollars

1344
00:50:42,964 --> 00:50:44,244
Yeah why not

1345
00:50:44,244 --> 00:50:46,724
You got to keep up with inflation

1346
00:50:46,724 --> 00:50:49,604
So you're saying this is like the pizza argument

1347
00:50:49,604 --> 00:50:50,484
About Bitcoin

1348
00:50:50,484 --> 00:50:53,024
Yeah this actually is the whole pizza

1349
00:50:53,024 --> 00:50:54,404
It's similar

1350
00:50:54,404 --> 00:50:57,344
This is what they used to give Vitalik shit about

1351
00:50:57,344 --> 00:50:57,884
Didn't they

1352
00:50:57,884 --> 00:51:00,504
About the pizza thing where they would say

1353
00:51:00,504 --> 00:51:02,304
Oh you can just cut it into slices remember

1354
00:51:02,304 --> 00:51:04,604
They used to give Vitalik shit about that

1355
00:51:04,604 --> 00:51:06,364
Oh man, dude.

1356
00:51:07,504 --> 00:51:08,004
Oh man.

1357
00:51:08,244 --> 00:51:09,444
This is a disappointing cycle

1358
00:51:09,444 --> 00:51:11,264
for a lot of reasons.

1359
00:51:12,964 --> 00:51:13,484
Anyways,

1360
00:51:13,924 --> 00:51:16,444
that's all the top stories this week.

1361
00:51:17,184 --> 00:51:18,964
The number...

1362
00:51:18,964 --> 00:51:19,524
What's...

1363
00:51:19,524 --> 00:51:20,524
That's not the number one.

1364
00:51:21,484 --> 00:51:22,604
Yeah, that's all the top stories this week.

1365
00:51:22,644 --> 00:51:23,844
We're going to jump into

1366
00:51:23,844 --> 00:51:26,084
AI Bitcoin segment.

1367
00:51:26,284 --> 00:51:27,984
This is This Week in AI.

1368
00:51:29,604 --> 00:51:31,264
Optimism posted This Week in AI

1369
00:51:31,264 --> 00:51:32,864
for September 8th through the 14th.

1370
00:51:32,864 --> 00:51:34,844
scores be sure to interesting posts.

1371
00:51:34,904 --> 00:51:36,844
I don't know if you saw this one about the 5,000 podcast.

1372
00:51:36,964 --> 00:51:41,604
Apparently there's some interesting data from the Hollywood reporter that

1373
00:51:41,604 --> 00:51:44,564
shows that the use of AI to mass produce podcasts,

1374
00:51:44,644 --> 00:51:46,604
reduce costs per episode to a dollar,

1375
00:51:46,784 --> 00:51:49,324
turn successful podcasts into influencers and profit.

1376
00:51:50,624 --> 00:51:55,044
So basically they're just like putting out all these shows with AI and

1377
00:51:55,044 --> 00:51:57,184
they're just like kind of dumping them on people.

1378
00:51:57,184 --> 00:52:00,824
And then they're just sourcing these advertising fiat dollars.

1379
00:52:00,864 --> 00:52:02,584
And people are listening and they're making money from them.

1380
00:52:02,664 --> 00:52:02,844
Yeah.

1381
00:52:02,864 --> 00:52:03,344
Yeah.

1382
00:52:03,764 --> 00:52:04,784
Really interesting stuff.

1383
00:52:05,024 --> 00:52:08,984
I wanted to bring up a couple, which was this one.

1384
00:52:09,064 --> 00:52:10,664
This was interesting.

1385
00:52:10,764 --> 00:52:13,724
The one that you posted about OpenAIDS version one.

1386
00:52:14,444 --> 00:52:15,564
I don't know if you saw this.

1387
00:52:16,544 --> 00:52:18,324
Did you see this?

1388
00:52:18,624 --> 00:52:19,784
I shared the story.

1389
00:52:20,384 --> 00:52:21,364
It's called Alter Ego.

1390
00:52:22,164 --> 00:52:23,344
You'll love this, Topher.

1391
00:52:23,764 --> 00:52:25,584
It allows you to…

1392
00:52:25,584 --> 00:52:26,464
Haven't you seen this?

1393
00:52:27,284 --> 00:52:28,264
You want to explain it, Kian?

1394
00:52:29,344 --> 00:52:29,764
Yeah.

1395
00:52:30,224 --> 00:52:32,424
It's where it reads your thoughts.

1396
00:52:32,864 --> 00:52:36,584
Or you have sub-vocalizations, and it can measure.

1397
00:52:36,884 --> 00:52:38,004
Yeah, I've been waiting for this.

1398
00:52:38,404 --> 00:52:38,684
Yeah.

1399
00:52:39,244 --> 00:52:40,164
I've been waiting for this.

1400
00:52:40,304 --> 00:52:44,704
So without talking, you're communicating with a chatbot, basically.

1401
00:52:44,964 --> 00:52:49,044
And it can communicate with other people having the same wearable.

1402
00:52:49,444 --> 00:52:56,004
So this technology was prophesied in Metal Gear Solid 2.

1403
00:52:57,344 --> 00:52:58,644
Or Metal Gear Solid 1.

1404
00:52:58,644 --> 00:52:59,484
One of the Metal Gears.

1405
00:52:59,564 --> 00:53:01,344
I think it was Metal Gear Solid 2.

1406
00:53:01,844 --> 00:53:04,784
But yeah, they would have something that reads their vocal cords.

1407
00:53:04,904 --> 00:53:06,944
Because when you're thinking about speech,

1408
00:53:06,944 --> 00:53:09,204
you're still activating your vocal cords.

1409
00:53:09,544 --> 00:53:09,684
Yeah.

1410
00:53:09,804 --> 00:53:11,324
So you just need to tap into that

1411
00:53:11,324 --> 00:53:13,424
and then convert that into something

1412
00:53:13,424 --> 00:53:16,124
that you can actually communicate and transmit electronically.

1413
00:53:17,124 --> 00:53:18,344
So I've just been waiting for this.

1414
00:53:18,344 --> 00:53:20,764
So what's the technology, Topher?

1415
00:53:21,484 --> 00:53:23,104
Well, I don't know how they're doing it.

1416
00:53:23,104 --> 00:53:27,624
I think they're measuring something in a certain region of the brain

1417
00:53:27,624 --> 00:53:29,784
and possibly like facial muscles,

1418
00:53:29,784 --> 00:53:31,564
like activity and facial muscles.

1419
00:53:32,044 --> 00:53:36,384
Okay, because when I saw this earlier today,

1420
00:53:36,504 --> 00:53:37,464
because I was going to put this in,

1421
00:53:37,624 --> 00:53:38,564
we're going to talk about it.

1422
00:53:38,964 --> 00:53:41,884
I call somewhat BS to this.

1423
00:53:42,584 --> 00:53:43,184
Hear me out.

1424
00:53:43,844 --> 00:53:45,104
Also plebs body sense.

1425
00:53:45,884 --> 00:53:46,864
Oh, cut it.

1426
00:53:48,584 --> 00:53:49,804
Now hear me out.

1427
00:53:50,084 --> 00:53:51,744
So when you watch him talk,

1428
00:53:51,924 --> 00:53:54,284
I feel like this is a ventriloquist trick.

1429
00:53:54,544 --> 00:53:55,944
So look at his throat.

1430
00:53:56,184 --> 00:53:59,144
I feel like he's still doing the facial muscle trick

1431
00:53:59,144 --> 00:54:00,284
where he's like saying, he's like,

1432
00:54:01,304 --> 00:54:02,424
where do you want to go for lunch?

1433
00:54:02,444 --> 00:54:03,884
But he's not actually speaking it.

1434
00:54:04,024 --> 00:54:08,744
And the other guy's talking with this thing.

1435
00:54:09,024 --> 00:54:10,884
And I think that's where they're actually

1436
00:54:10,884 --> 00:54:12,024
getting the data from.

1437
00:54:12,644 --> 00:54:14,824
And it's probably not 100% correct.

1438
00:54:15,244 --> 00:54:16,684
And then if you see that little thin wire

1439
00:54:16,684 --> 00:54:17,404
that's coming from him

1440
00:54:17,404 --> 00:54:18,564
and it goes underneath the chair,

1441
00:54:18,744 --> 00:54:20,364
it's probably hooked up to a big ass computer.

1442
00:54:21,104 --> 00:54:22,784
You can see the wire go underneath.

1443
00:54:23,504 --> 00:54:24,984
All that to say like,

1444
00:54:26,104 --> 00:54:27,724
it's not telepathic.

1445
00:54:27,724 --> 00:54:29,224
It's not even near telepathic.

1446
00:54:29,784 --> 00:54:34,544
And I think this is just more fluff than hype.

1447
00:54:34,984 --> 00:54:38,944
Just so people don't think like we're at freaking looper yet

1448
00:54:38,944 --> 00:54:40,444
where you can like spin a quarter and shit.

1449
00:54:40,544 --> 00:54:41,164
That's all I'm saying.

1450
00:54:41,664 --> 00:54:42,044
Yeah, I don't-

1451
00:54:42,044 --> 00:54:44,364
I mean, not telekinesis, but you know what I'm trying to say.

1452
00:54:44,504 --> 00:54:46,864
It depends how you define telepathic.

1453
00:54:47,224 --> 00:54:48,844
I can read your mind from here.

1454
00:54:49,704 --> 00:54:51,604
Like, what do you mean by reading my mind?

1455
00:54:51,664 --> 00:54:52,964
Or I can send you a message from here.

1456
00:54:52,964 --> 00:54:55,484
Because my mind controls all my muscles.

1457
00:54:55,484 --> 00:55:02,184
so can you read my mind if my mind controls my mouth to say things like how how silly do you

1458
00:55:02,184 --> 00:55:07,744
want to get let's try let's try this right now what number am i thinking of five no now let me

1459
00:55:07,744 --> 00:55:15,424
guess for you you pick a number right now okay one through ten okay you got one seven yeah see

1460
00:55:15,424 --> 00:55:20,484
doesn't work now that's what i'm saying but with this this this head but but the thing is is like

1461
00:55:20,484 --> 00:55:25,644
so if you asked me what number was I thinking and then I were to speak it,

1462
00:55:25,644 --> 00:55:26,964
but without sound,

1463
00:55:27,044 --> 00:55:29,864
like I'm just sort of using my vocal cords,

1464
00:55:29,984 --> 00:55:32,304
but not actually making speech like,

1465
00:55:32,424 --> 00:55:36,384
and then you had some device that would pick up on that wherever,

1466
00:55:36,524 --> 00:55:39,844
whether it's picking it up on my throat or picking up in my brain connected to

1467
00:55:39,844 --> 00:55:40,324
my throat.

1468
00:55:40,544 --> 00:55:41,024
Like,

1469
00:55:41,064 --> 00:55:43,184
is that still telepathy?

1470
00:55:43,884 --> 00:55:48,884
Like you're just hijacking the vocal cords to read out like what a person

1471
00:55:48,884 --> 00:55:49,824
would be saying.

1472
00:55:49,824 --> 00:55:52,564
but it is coming from your mind

1473
00:55:52,564 --> 00:55:54,624
but is it telepathy?

1474
00:55:54,844 --> 00:55:56,684
Is it what you would consider telepathy

1475
00:55:56,684 --> 00:55:58,864
versus you're reading the muscle

1476
00:55:58,864 --> 00:56:01,164
movements to a person's

1477
00:56:01,164 --> 00:56:03,044
vocal cords? I do think you can

1478
00:56:03,044 --> 00:56:04,464
get to telepathy already

1479
00:56:04,464 --> 00:56:06,804
just by knowing somebody over

1480
00:56:06,804 --> 00:56:08,664
a course of time.

1481
00:56:09,484 --> 00:56:21,200
I don know if you can read your wife mind but I would say after you spend time with an individual for long enough you could probably have a conversation with them where you could probably know what they thinking

1482
00:56:21,940 --> 00:56:23,400
Yeah, like theory of mind.

1483
00:56:23,540 --> 00:56:25,800
You can actually model somebody else's mind

1484
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,740
because you just know them well enough

1485
00:56:27,740 --> 00:56:29,120
that you know what they would think.

1486
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,140
You still couldn't guess the number that's in their head.

1487
00:56:31,220 --> 00:56:31,800
Probably, yeah.

1488
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:33,560
Maybe, yeah.

1489
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:34,540
If they had a favorite number.

1490
00:56:34,620 --> 00:56:36,160
Anyways, I thought it was an interesting post.

1491
00:56:36,220 --> 00:56:37,260
Kiyo, did you have anything else on this?

1492
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,260
No, but I do think you're right

1493
00:56:39,260 --> 00:56:40,800
that it is probably overhyped

1494
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:41,860
because they're pursuing

1495
00:56:41,860 --> 00:56:45,500
probably a large fundraising round.

1496
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,840
You can heavily produce video.

1497
00:56:50,260 --> 00:56:52,760
They're probably trying to go

1498
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,560
to like a very large VCs

1499
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,180
and get a bunch of money.

1500
00:56:57,580 --> 00:56:58,960
Just lots of it.

1501
00:56:59,620 --> 00:56:59,780
Cool.

1502
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:03,560
The next AI wave or telepathy.

1503
00:57:04,100 --> 00:57:06,180
Maybe we'll see more telepathy startups.

1504
00:57:06,180 --> 00:57:09,620
I think there was another one

1505
00:57:09,620 --> 00:57:12,160
I think it's mostly in the phase right now

1506
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,940
where we're going to mock it for 10 years

1507
00:57:13,940 --> 00:57:15,740
and then everyone's going to be using it

1508
00:57:15,740 --> 00:57:16,420
just like AI

1509
00:57:16,420 --> 00:57:18,640
we're all going to lose the ability to speak

1510
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,580
and then 100,000 years from now

1511
00:57:21,580 --> 00:57:22,620
none of us will have mouths

1512
00:57:22,620 --> 00:57:23,480
because we don't need them

1513
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:24,660
we're just using these devices

1514
00:57:24,660 --> 00:57:27,200
no one talks

1515
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,960
there's no need anymore

1516
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,100
because we're just communicating

1517
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:31,820
it's just a bunch of tizzards

1518
00:57:31,820 --> 00:57:34,160
yeah, no full tizzards

1519
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,160
that'll be the only one that survives, dude

1520
00:57:36,180 --> 00:57:39,080
Yeah, you won't need Tiz Whispers anymore.

1521
00:57:39,460 --> 00:57:40,520
It'll just be full Tizered.

1522
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:42,120
Oh, no, you still need Tiz Whispers.

1523
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:44,540
No, because they need to be told what to do.

1524
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,040
Oh, so it'll be more...

1525
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,540
Tiz Whispers just won't be whispering.

1526
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,260
What's the other one between a Tiz and a...

1527
00:57:55,260 --> 00:57:55,820
What's the other one?

1528
00:57:55,860 --> 00:57:56,400
There's Riz.

1529
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,260
Yeah, so maybe the Tiz, it'll be a Riz Whisperer.

1530
00:57:59,700 --> 00:58:02,240
So the Tiz will become the Riz Whisperer, right?

1531
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,640
Oh, yeah, but that'll be terrible.

1532
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,860
Yeah, so the Tizzards will be Riz whispering.

1533
00:58:09,500 --> 00:58:11,180
You don't want either of those guys in control.

1534
00:58:11,300 --> 00:58:13,140
You kind of need, you want the main characters.

1535
00:58:13,900 --> 00:58:15,900
Because they're like, they're like not,

1536
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,020
they're not oriented too far one way or another.

1537
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,560
They got the right amount of Riz, the right amount of Tiz.

1538
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:22,300
And they're going to keep the world balanced.

1539
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:23,260
It's like the Force.

1540
00:58:23,340 --> 00:58:24,300
It's like Star Wars.

1541
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,200
People who are watching this show for the first time,

1542
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:27,520
they're like, what the hell are they talking about?

1543
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:28,900
Riz is like the dark side.

1544
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,560
Then Tiz is, are like Jedi.

1545
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:32,400
Riz is the dark side.

1546
00:58:32,540 --> 00:58:33,860
I think Riz is the dark side.

1547
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,180
That's where all the con people were in the Riz versus Tiz thing.

1548
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,900
They're all full Riz, no Tiz.

1549
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,360
You add a little Tiz and they become good.

1550
00:58:43,700 --> 00:58:46,300
Go back a couple episodes and you'll see what we're talking about.

1551
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:47,340
This is a great...

1552
00:58:47,340 --> 00:58:49,860
I think it's actually clipped in the thing.

1553
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:51,540
You think these guys are Tizards?

1554
00:58:52,580 --> 00:58:52,980
Definitely.

1555
00:58:53,420 --> 00:58:55,360
I would guess they got a blend.

1556
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,780
He looks like a...

1557
00:58:57,780 --> 00:58:58,560
He's more Rizzy.

1558
00:58:58,740 --> 00:59:00,240
I think he's more Rizzy.

1559
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:01,480
The other guy's more Tizzy for sure.

1560
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:02,560
How about that soy face?

1561
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:03,520
Come on.

1562
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:04,900
you don't think he's that rizzy

1563
00:59:04,900 --> 00:59:06,200
which one

1564
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:06,980
the one on the right

1565
00:59:06,980 --> 00:59:08,820
well the guy from before

1566
00:59:08,820 --> 00:59:10,140
the white guy

1567
00:59:10,140 --> 00:59:11,340
this guy

1568
00:59:11,340 --> 00:59:11,740
the Indian

1569
00:59:11,740 --> 00:59:12,400
I didn't catch him

1570
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:13,480
I don't know if this guy's Indian

1571
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:14,260
but

1572
00:59:14,260 --> 00:59:15,920
he very well could be

1573
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,100
maybe they have that like

1574
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:19,300
weird zoomer fro

1575
00:59:19,300 --> 00:59:20,900
hairstyle going on

1576
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:21,280
so

1577
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:22,320
he looks full tiz

1578
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:22,720
on the right

1579
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:23,720
this guy right here

1580
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,340
oh no he's not full tiz though

1581
00:59:25,340 --> 00:59:26,600
he's got a little riz

1582
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:27,180
look at him

1583
00:59:27,180 --> 00:59:28,080
he's got his head

1584
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:29,400
his hair is like

1585
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:30,240
perfectly to show

1586
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:31,240
your hair looks like that

1587
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:32,220
he just woke up

1588
00:59:32,220 --> 00:59:33,500
no he made it look like that

1589
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,260
though. He has like hair wax.

1590
00:59:35,300 --> 00:59:37,220
That's how you know when people are full tizzards

1591
00:59:37,220 --> 00:59:39,040
is because their hair is like messed up.

1592
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:40,480
Because Topher doesn't have a mohawk.

1593
00:59:41,020 --> 00:59:41,720
He might be Riz.

1594
00:59:45,140 --> 00:59:45,540
No.

1595
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,160
I think, no, I think

1596
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,440
he's not, he's mostly Tiz

1597
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,580
but he's got some Riz to him. So he's probably

1598
00:59:51,580 --> 00:59:53,700
I would guess he's high Tiz

1599
00:59:53,700 --> 00:59:55,540
and like medium

1600
00:59:55,540 --> 00:59:57,300
Riz. So he's probably around

1601
00:59:57,300 --> 00:59:58,180
cracked somewhere.

1602
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:01,080
Okay.

1603
01:00:01,860 --> 01:00:03,580
Anyway, I wanted to bring that up.

1604
01:00:03,700 --> 01:00:08,580
And then the other one was the Apple latest bid to purchase Perplexity.

1605
01:00:08,660 --> 01:00:09,180
Did you see this?

1606
01:00:11,820 --> 01:00:12,660
I imagine.

1607
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,020
So, you know, this is what these companies do with these large treasuries.

1608
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:16,840
Yeah.

1609
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,960
They haven't said that they're going to buy it yet,

1610
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:25,960
but they did talk about how one of their AI people has left.

1611
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,020
I don't think it's in this post.

1612
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:29,000
To go to Perplexity?

1613
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:29,540
No.

1614
01:00:29,540 --> 01:00:34,520
So one of the top like AI people of Apple has left recently.

1615
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:35,340
Very recently.

1616
01:00:35,500 --> 01:00:37,600
Like last Friday, recently.

1617
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,660
And so they're like in scramble mode apparently.

1618
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,800
Anyways, and then they're just unable to like execute yet.

1619
01:00:44,900 --> 01:00:47,880
And then they just released the new iPhone this week or was it last week?

1620
01:00:48,260 --> 01:00:48,700
Last week.

1621
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,440
And so they're just like, they're behind.

1622
01:00:51,440 --> 01:01:00,580
A friend of mine was friends with one of the children of the person who made Siri.

1623
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,100
Like, Siri was an acquisition for Apple.

1624
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:03,360
Yeah.

1625
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,760
And I think they paid hundreds of millions of dollars.

1626
01:01:05,860 --> 01:01:05,980
Yeah.

1627
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,920
I think he said he went to their house, and it was just retarded.

1628
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:14,520
It was just like big and rich.

1629
01:01:14,740 --> 01:01:15,860
Just like retarded big.

1630
01:01:15,860 --> 01:01:18,980
It's like when Microsoft bought Minecraft.

1631
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:23,240
And then so Notch bought like an $80 million house.

1632
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,620
And I think he sold it to like P. Diddy and Beyonce.

1633
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:27,640
Yeah.

1634
01:01:27,740 --> 01:01:27,940
Or something.

1635
01:01:28,580 --> 01:01:30,700
Or no, was it Jay-Z and Beyonce?

1636
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:31,300
Like, yeah.

1637
01:01:31,540 --> 01:01:34,140
He just like sold it to some like famous rap couple.

1638
01:01:35,060 --> 01:01:37,140
But like, so he just bought it and then sold it.

1639
01:01:37,180 --> 01:01:40,160
He just bought an $80 million freaking compound.

1640
01:01:40,220 --> 01:01:40,720
For no reason.

1641
01:01:40,900 --> 01:01:41,340
Notch.

1642
01:01:41,540 --> 01:01:43,240
Oh, he bought it from them.

1643
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,380
Because Minecraft was bought for like $2 billion.

1644
01:01:45,860 --> 01:01:46,700
or something ridiculous.

1645
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:47,260
Yeah.

1646
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:48,300
So he was just like,

1647
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:48,760
and he,

1648
01:01:48,980 --> 01:01:50,240
it was created by him.

1649
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,500
Like he was the developer

1650
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:52,300
of that game

1651
01:01:52,300 --> 01:01:52,860
and then Microsoft

1652
01:01:52,860 --> 01:01:53,380
just fucking bought it.

1653
01:01:53,380 --> 01:01:53,960
I don't understand

1654
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:54,560
why you would have

1655
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:55,080
all that money

1656
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,960
and then just buy it on stuff.

1657
01:01:57,140 --> 01:01:58,080
That never really

1658
01:01:58,080 --> 01:01:59,060
made sense to me.

1659
01:01:59,380 --> 01:01:59,920
Well, it's not,

1660
01:02:00,060 --> 01:02:01,020
he didn't spend all the money.

1661
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:01,880
He only spent $80 million.

1662
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:02,500
Yeah.

1663
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,660
That was like 5% of his money,

1664
01:02:04,740 --> 01:02:05,260
which is less

1665
01:02:05,260 --> 01:02:06,240
than most people's net worth

1666
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:07,280
that they spend on their,

1667
01:02:07,340 --> 01:02:08,300
their own.

1668
01:02:08,300 --> 01:02:09,200
I feel like I would just

1669
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:09,680
use that money

1670
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:10,420
to change the world.

1671
01:02:11,260 --> 01:02:11,980
That's not what I would do.

1672
01:02:11,980 --> 01:02:12,600
I think it's harder

1673
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:13,360
to change the world

1674
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:14,660
even with a lot of money

1675
01:02:14,660 --> 01:02:15,680
than most people think.

1676
01:02:15,860 --> 01:02:18,880
Look at all the rich people who don't do anything, right?

1677
01:02:19,100 --> 01:02:21,540
Is that not a sign to you that maybe changing the world?

1678
01:02:21,940 --> 01:02:24,220
I think because they're trying to change the world for bad.

1679
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:24,980
I think that's why.

1680
01:02:25,740 --> 01:02:26,480
I mean, look at Bill Gates.

1681
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,760
So they got the money despite them being evil?

1682
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,100
I think they got the money because they were evil.

1683
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:31,860
I see.

1684
01:02:32,220 --> 01:02:34,280
I think Bill Gates is a perfect example of that, right?

1685
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,240
No, I don't think Bill Gates is evil.

1686
01:02:38,820 --> 01:02:41,140
I think we have a different view of...

1687
01:02:41,140 --> 01:02:42,900
So I think Bill Gates is evil.

1688
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:44,180
Do you think Bill Gates is evil?

1689
01:02:44,180 --> 01:02:47,180
I feel like he's pretty, his wife left him because he was evil.

1690
01:02:47,340 --> 01:02:48,340
I mean, it's pretty much.

1691
01:02:48,340 --> 01:02:49,080
Did she say that?

1692
01:02:49,300 --> 01:02:49,860
Yeah, dude.

1693
01:02:49,900 --> 01:02:54,440
She went on like record and like, she left out a lot of stuff about the Epstein stuff,

1694
01:02:54,500 --> 01:02:59,320
but she went on like this whole thing and it was pretty, it was pretty, yeah, it's pretty

1695
01:02:59,320 --> 01:02:59,640
bad.

1696
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:07,300
I don't know, man, but he, he, he did some very horrible things in India and, and just

1697
01:03:07,300 --> 01:03:09,540
for the stuff he did in India alone, I would say.

1698
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:10,560
He's definitely not a good person.

1699
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,340
Maybe he's not evil, but he's definitely not a good person.

1700
01:03:12,340 --> 01:03:12,580
Yeah.

1701
01:03:12,580 --> 01:03:15,560
I would say he's extremely ambitious and self-centered.

1702
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:16,760
I don't know about evil.

1703
01:03:17,060 --> 01:03:17,820
Evil is like,

1704
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,860
I think something like someone I associate with like sadism where he's like

1705
01:03:21,860 --> 01:03:25,340
trying to harm people for his own pleasure.

1706
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:25,880
Yeah.

1707
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:26,380
I don't know.

1708
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,180
I don't know if he's tried to harm people.

1709
01:03:28,220 --> 01:03:29,500
I don't know if he's a lizard person.

1710
01:03:29,900 --> 01:03:30,180
Yeah.

1711
01:03:30,420 --> 01:03:30,880
I just don't,

1712
01:03:31,060 --> 01:03:32,860
I haven't looked enough into him.

1713
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:33,860
Maybe he's not that anymore.

1714
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,440
He definitely was that in 2020 and 2021 though,

1715
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:37,920
for sure.

1716
01:03:39,580 --> 01:03:39,980
Yeah.

1717
01:03:40,580 --> 01:03:42,260
The vaccine stuff's very creepy.

1718
01:03:42,580 --> 01:03:47,120
Even the stuff that Steve Jobs would say about him too was kind of refreshing.

1719
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:48,880
Sometimes.

1720
01:03:49,020 --> 01:03:51,160
I don't know if you remember the comments that he would say about Bill Gates.

1721
01:03:51,260 --> 01:03:54,380
He would be like, you know, this is what it's like when you have,

1722
01:03:54,380 --> 01:04:00,980
or using apples is refreshing to people like Bill because he's in hell or something like that.

1723
01:04:01,300 --> 01:04:02,720
Yeah, but he meant like aesthetically.

1724
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:04,240
Did he?

1725
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:05,780
I don't know.

1726
01:04:05,900 --> 01:04:08,260
Also, Steve is high-res,

1727
01:04:08,260 --> 01:04:15,960
So he's going to spin a narrative in his favor rather than maybe saying the literal truth like a Tiz would.

1728
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:16,780
Yeah.

1729
01:04:18,460 --> 01:04:19,060
Okay.

1730
01:04:19,380 --> 01:04:19,820
Yeah.

1731
01:04:20,300 --> 01:04:20,540
All right.

1732
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,800
Anyway, that's all the AI stuff.

1733
01:04:23,220 --> 01:04:25,600
Let's jump into Wumble's Picks.

1734
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:26,580
Wumble's Picks.

1735
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:27,520
Wumble's Picks.

1736
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,460
Wumble Picks.

1737
01:04:31,660 --> 01:04:32,220
Keon.

1738
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:33,360
Yeah.

1739
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:36,820
Yeah, so Wombo wants us to talk a little bit about simple taproot channels

1740
01:04:36,820 --> 01:04:38,800
because Supratic wrote a little guide.

1741
01:04:38,940 --> 01:04:43,260
They pulled out OperaTurn, which has a page on simple taproot channels.

1742
01:04:43,340 --> 01:04:49,360
But simple taproot channels shipped, I believe, in V0.17 of LND,

1743
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:54,240
and they allow you to create an unannounced simple taproot channel.

1744
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:58,560
As of yet, you cannot create a public taproot channel

1745
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,720
because Lightning's gossip does not support it.

1746
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:06,580
I think they're still working on that along with some of the other proposals.

1747
01:05:08,220 --> 01:05:14,220
The main benefit you get from simple taproot channels over your normal Lightning channels,

1748
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:20,360
despite the obvious disadvantages of them having to be unannounced,

1749
01:05:20,780 --> 01:05:24,160
is primarily privacy and on-chain footprint based.

1750
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:44,316
And so if you if you open a unannounced simple taproot channel you in all of your you and your channel partner do everything cooperatively For anyone observing um your lightning channel on chain it looks like a normal Bitcoin spend

1751
01:05:44,916 --> 01:05:52,496
It doesn't look like the, it's like not the explicit multi-sig that current lightning channels

1752
01:05:52,496 --> 01:05:55,116
or normal lightning channels are.

1753
01:05:55,416 --> 01:05:57,556
And so you wouldn't know that it's a lightning channel.

1754
01:05:57,556 --> 01:06:08,156
And then because it's aggregating signatures, two signatures into one, it looks like just a single SIG on chain.

1755
01:06:08,696 --> 01:06:16,676
And so that is the main advantage is you save on on chain fees and you get better privacy because you have a bigger anonymity set.

1756
01:06:17,836 --> 01:06:22,596
Because it looks like a normal Bitcoin spend and not a lightning channel.

1757
01:06:22,596 --> 01:06:34,496
Because currently, if you go to something like a blockchain explorer, like mempool.space, you can tell they will say when a Bitcoin transaction includes a lightning channel open or close or anything.

1758
01:06:34,796 --> 01:06:38,696
But they cannot do the same for taproot channels, as far as I understand.

1759
01:06:40,496 --> 01:06:42,596
Do you have anything more to say about that, Topher?

1760
01:06:42,676 --> 01:06:44,456
I'm not the on-chain wizard that you are.

1761
01:06:44,616 --> 01:06:46,216
What, for simple taproot channels?

1762
01:06:46,396 --> 01:06:46,596
Yeah.

1763
01:06:48,756 --> 01:06:49,736
What was the question?

1764
01:06:49,736 --> 01:06:55,816
Yeah, well, it's just, I guess I don't have a question exactly,

1765
01:06:56,036 --> 01:07:01,916
but they're using Moosig2, which uses Schnorr's signature aggregation

1766
01:07:01,916 --> 01:07:06,136
to make a multisig look like a single sig.

1767
01:07:06,396 --> 01:07:06,596
Yep.

1768
01:07:07,076 --> 01:07:07,336
Okay.

1769
01:07:07,796 --> 01:07:08,796
And that, yeah.

1770
01:07:09,356 --> 01:07:09,756
That's about it.

1771
01:07:09,996 --> 01:07:10,716
That's about it, right?

1772
01:07:10,756 --> 01:07:11,876
There's nothing more than that.

1773
01:07:11,956 --> 01:07:12,556
It's pretty simple.

1774
01:07:12,816 --> 01:07:14,476
Yeah, but you can go around.

1775
01:07:14,596 --> 01:07:15,496
That's the main advantage.

1776
01:07:15,496 --> 01:07:17,516
So if you are running a Lightning node,

1777
01:07:17,516 --> 01:07:20,116
and you're just like a normal pleb lightning node runner.

1778
01:07:20,996 --> 01:07:22,696
And you plan on only,

1779
01:07:22,756 --> 01:07:24,056
and you care about your privacy

1780
01:07:24,056 --> 01:07:26,456
and you plan on only opening unannounced,

1781
01:07:26,536 --> 01:07:27,416
like private channels.

1782
01:07:27,556 --> 01:07:28,116
There's no need,

1783
01:07:28,196 --> 01:07:29,676
you have no need to have a public channel.

1784
01:07:29,756 --> 01:07:30,636
You're not planning on routing,

1785
01:07:30,816 --> 01:07:31,796
basically is the reason why

1786
01:07:31,796 --> 01:07:34,016
you would only open private channels.

1787
01:07:34,056 --> 01:07:35,236
You're just planning on sending

1788
01:07:35,236 --> 01:07:36,376
and accepting Bitcoin payments.

1789
01:07:36,456 --> 01:07:37,196
You can only do private.

1790
01:07:37,296 --> 01:07:39,236
You can choose to only do private channels.

1791
01:07:39,556 --> 01:07:42,676
You might want to use simple taproot channels,

1792
01:07:42,796 --> 01:07:45,456
which I believe only L&D supports

1793
01:07:45,456 --> 01:07:49,756
because you get these on-chain savings benefits

1794
01:07:49,756 --> 01:07:53,896
and then you also get this privacy benefit as well.

1795
01:07:54,076 --> 01:07:56,796
I think there might also be other benefits to it.

1796
01:07:56,996 --> 01:07:59,576
I think given that it's using Taproot,

1797
01:07:59,676 --> 01:08:03,836
I think that you don't have to have a channel reserve

1798
01:08:03,836 --> 01:08:09,176
and there are some other advantages like that.

1799
01:08:10,516 --> 01:08:12,996
But usage isn't like, we don't know about usage

1800
01:08:12,996 --> 01:08:14,316
because these channels are unannounced

1801
01:08:14,316 --> 01:08:19,396
and the other implementations haven't launched them yet.

1802
01:08:19,616 --> 01:08:23,356
But these are all, everyone, I think there is like a spec that is evolving

1803
01:08:23,356 --> 01:08:26,596
and other implementations will get them soon.

1804
01:08:26,656 --> 01:08:29,416
And then we get a bunch of other enormous benefits from taproot channels

1805
01:08:29,416 --> 01:08:30,416
when they're widely deployed.

1806
01:08:30,676 --> 01:08:38,176
But taproot channels widely deployed will require a very large adoption

1807
01:08:38,176 --> 01:08:40,476
because they are incompatible.

1808
01:08:40,476 --> 01:08:44,636
I think they're fully incompatible with an HDLC network.

1809
01:08:45,416 --> 01:08:48,476
Yeah, it looks like Bitcoin Optech has a...

1810
01:08:48,476 --> 01:08:50,336
Is this an article on it, Keon?

1811
01:08:51,076 --> 01:08:55,696
It's a short summary and then a link to a bunch of dev-related things,

1812
01:08:55,776 --> 01:09:00,996
like the PR for the Bolt, talking to Claire about it.

1813
01:09:02,536 --> 01:09:06,176
But still, as far as I know, the spec is evolving.

1814
01:09:06,176 --> 01:09:12,856
I think they're actively amending the spec to support different use cases.

1815
01:09:12,996 --> 01:09:19,356
But I think the main reason L&D came out with simple taproot channels first is because they were required to support taproot assets.

1816
01:09:21,456 --> 01:09:25,076
So is ECLARE the only other implementation that's going to implement this?

1817
01:09:25,176 --> 01:09:28,116
No, I think all of them are, they're all working on the spec together.

1818
01:09:28,116 --> 01:09:35,936
And so they all plan on doing this because this will unlock this thing called PTLCs, which are being talked about a lot in Lightning.

1819
01:09:36,256 --> 01:09:45,556
And they offer a lot more diversity of primarily privacy.

1820
01:09:45,876 --> 01:09:56,496
But I believe also they unlock a bunch of scripting capabilities around Lightning that will allow for Lightning to be used in more diverse use cases.

1821
01:09:56,496 --> 01:10:03,516
Because right now it's like a very, we have a relatively dumb locking mechanism that you can't do interesting things with.

1822
01:10:04,596 --> 01:10:08,136
And I think when we get PTLCs, we'll be able to do cooler things.

1823
01:10:09,916 --> 01:10:17,136
In addition to the privacy benefit of like, basically you have everyone on a lightning route sharing the same secret, which is bad.

1824
01:10:18,076 --> 01:10:20,116
And PTLCs will avoid that.

1825
01:10:21,496 --> 01:10:24,876
But everyone wants the PTLC future for the lightning network.

1826
01:10:24,876 --> 01:10:26,276
So we'll eventually get there.

1827
01:10:26,276 --> 01:10:31,676
Do you have any news on PTLCs that I don't, at my surface level?

1828
01:10:31,776 --> 01:10:34,756
I mean, they're very well understood, like how it's going to work.

1829
01:10:34,916 --> 01:10:36,356
So it's just a matter of adoption.

1830
01:10:37,876 --> 01:10:39,716
It's getting it out there.

1831
01:10:40,476 --> 01:10:40,716
Yeah.

1832
01:10:41,076 --> 01:10:43,736
I don't think they've even specced out PTLCs yet,

1833
01:10:43,916 --> 01:10:47,376
was my understanding from a recent delving post.

1834
01:10:47,476 --> 01:10:49,156
So how long will that take?

1835
01:10:49,216 --> 01:10:50,976
It's like, this is going to be like another three years or something?

1836
01:10:51,016 --> 01:10:52,176
Yeah, it'll be a long time.

1837
01:10:52,236 --> 01:10:52,596
Oh, okay.

1838
01:10:52,596 --> 01:10:55,296
So this is like splicing, what splicing was in 21, basically?

1839
01:10:55,296 --> 01:10:57,936
Yeah, but even a lot of implementation, I'm slicing at everyone.

1840
01:10:58,116 --> 01:11:03,496
I mean, I think most implementations are probably mostly working on...

1841
01:11:03,496 --> 01:11:03,776
Bolt 12.

1842
01:11:03,936 --> 01:11:05,856
Bolt 12 stuff and getting Bolt 12 ready.

1843
01:11:06,596 --> 01:11:09,016
And then we have Lightning Labs,

1844
01:11:09,316 --> 01:11:11,556
which has the most widely adopted Lightning implementation.

1845
01:11:11,736 --> 01:11:14,656
They're primarily focused on the taproot asset side.

1846
01:11:15,376 --> 01:11:16,336
So I don't...

1847
01:11:16,336 --> 01:11:20,116
And then I think a lot of people are avoiding the PTLC thing

1848
01:11:20,116 --> 01:11:23,196
because it requires a whole network upgrade.

1849
01:11:23,716 --> 01:11:24,296
Oh, okay.

1850
01:11:24,296 --> 01:11:26,296
It's sort of a consensus change.

1851
01:11:27,296 --> 01:11:31,556
The closest analogy maybe we have to consensus and Lightning Network

1852
01:11:31,556 --> 01:11:35,356
are basically the things that we share across channels,

1853
01:11:35,536 --> 01:11:39,416
which are right now HTLCs, and in the future we hope to use PTLCs.

1854
01:11:40,016 --> 01:11:42,896
It would be a bifurcation of the Lightning Network

1855
01:11:42,896 --> 01:11:47,436
because PTLC channels are fundamentally different than HTLC channels.

1856
01:11:47,616 --> 01:11:48,296
They're incompatible.

1857
01:11:48,396 --> 01:11:51,656
I guess maybe someone could come up with a way to make them somehow compatible.

1858
01:11:51,656 --> 01:11:59,116
but well you could I mean you could have htlcs and ptlcs inside of a channel but

1859
01:11:59,116 --> 01:12:07,496
that's I mean that's complicated I don't know I I think it's just you need a champion to champion

1860
01:12:07,496 --> 01:12:14,376
this like dusty yeah it was a champion splicing and so that's or I feel like he's the reason why

1861
01:12:14,376 --> 01:12:19,416
splicing exists I used to make fun of him in the beginning if I remember but he kept at it

1862
01:12:19,416 --> 01:12:20,956
and it was funny

1863
01:12:20,956 --> 01:12:21,596
because Core Lightning

1864
01:12:21,596 --> 01:12:22,676
wasn't even the first

1865
01:12:22,676 --> 01:12:23,596
implementation

1866
01:12:23,596 --> 01:12:25,916
to do splicing

1867
01:12:25,916 --> 01:12:26,596
we need somebody

1868
01:12:26,596 --> 01:12:27,236
to get made fun of

1869
01:12:27,236 --> 01:12:28,296
for PTLCs

1870
01:12:28,296 --> 01:12:29,116
but he

1871
01:12:29,116 --> 01:12:30,536
like he was the champion

1872
01:12:30,536 --> 01:12:31,496
for splicing

1873
01:12:31,496 --> 01:12:32,716
and he made it happen

1874
01:12:32,716 --> 01:12:33,976
who was making fun of him?

1875
01:12:35,356 --> 01:12:35,536
dude

1876
01:12:35,536 --> 01:12:36,496
I don't know

1877
01:12:36,496 --> 01:12:37,436
still the beans car

1878
01:12:37,436 --> 01:12:38,156
I think that's

1879
01:12:38,156 --> 01:12:39,856
besides the point

1880
01:12:39,856 --> 01:12:40,216
I think

1881
01:12:40,216 --> 01:12:41,796
I think it just tells you

1882
01:12:41,796 --> 01:12:42,496
that sometimes you need

1883
01:12:42,496 --> 01:12:43,076
that one person

1884
01:12:43,076 --> 01:12:43,496
to go out there

1885
01:12:43,496 --> 01:12:44,476
and say PTLCs

1886
01:12:44,476 --> 01:12:45,796
and then carry that flag

1887
01:12:45,796 --> 01:12:46,316
I think that's what

1888
01:12:46,316 --> 01:12:46,876
Topher was saying

1889
01:12:46,876 --> 01:12:48,016
yeah you need someone

1890
01:12:48,016 --> 01:12:48,836
to champion it

1891
01:12:48,836 --> 01:12:50,316
to get everyone to adopt it.

1892
01:12:50,596 --> 01:12:51,536
You'll get ridiculed first.

1893
01:12:51,976 --> 01:12:54,356
Yeah, I think it's just a low priority

1894
01:12:54,356 --> 01:12:57,016
for most of the Lightning implementations right now

1895
01:12:57,016 --> 01:12:58,096
is what it appears.

1896
01:12:58,456 --> 01:13:01,096
It appears they think investing

1897
01:13:01,096 --> 01:13:02,856
in other areas of development is more important.

1898
01:13:03,036 --> 01:13:05,396
Anyway, that is Simple Taproot Channels.

1899
01:13:05,836 --> 01:13:08,156
And I am Keon with...

1900
01:13:08,876 --> 01:13:09,756
Your wizard!

1901
01:13:10,036 --> 01:13:10,936
The Wombos Pizz.

1902
01:13:11,936 --> 01:13:14,576
He said he wanted this segment to be like,

1903
01:13:14,636 --> 01:13:15,296
the more you know.

1904
01:13:16,056 --> 01:13:17,396
We should come up with our own name for it.

1905
01:13:17,396 --> 01:13:18,076
The Wombos Pizz.

1906
01:13:18,076 --> 01:13:19,236
And it's the same animation.

1907
01:13:21,816 --> 01:13:24,996
It doesn't communicate what's happening to the person.

1908
01:13:25,736 --> 01:13:26,656
Wombles, picks.

1909
01:13:27,236 --> 01:13:28,156
I could do that instead.

1910
01:13:28,256 --> 01:13:29,276
Wombles, picks.

1911
01:13:30,276 --> 01:13:31,576
Yeah, we want the shooting star.

1912
01:13:31,796 --> 01:13:32,736
I can make a shooting star.

1913
01:13:33,096 --> 01:13:33,396
Okay.

1914
01:13:34,396 --> 01:13:41,136
Speaking of shooting stars, we're about to jump into 6102.

1915
01:13:42,736 --> 01:13:43,556
What happened?

1916
01:13:45,136 --> 01:13:45,456
Uh-oh.

1917
01:13:45,456 --> 01:13:48,196
So, Club Poets coming over here giving us shots.

1918
01:13:48,496 --> 01:13:48,996
Is that what you're doing?

1919
01:13:50,976 --> 01:13:51,736
I'll take a shot.

1920
01:13:52,136 --> 01:13:52,656
Yeah, I'll take one.

1921
01:13:52,796 --> 01:13:53,216
It's been a while.

1922
01:13:55,136 --> 01:13:56,156
We're about to get into it.

1923
01:13:56,456 --> 01:14:00,916
So, I found this 6102 Bitcoin post on Stacker News.

1924
01:14:01,956 --> 01:14:04,876
So, I've been doing the SNL DVD.

1925
01:14:05,836 --> 01:14:06,796
All right, you're going back.

1926
01:14:06,796 --> 01:14:09,836
So, I have to go back to some of these things.

1927
01:14:10,816 --> 01:14:11,936
And where is it at?

1928
01:14:11,976 --> 01:14:12,716
Oh, it's over here.

1929
01:14:12,716 --> 01:14:19,156
So I've had to go back and like look at some of these old clips and,

1930
01:14:19,216 --> 01:14:20,896
and we'll get into the DVD later.

1931
01:14:21,016 --> 01:14:25,876
But what's interesting about this particular post is when I went back and

1932
01:14:25,876 --> 01:14:27,976
looked at the SNL DVD and I was watching it,

1933
01:14:28,216 --> 01:14:29,776
I've got to fix two edits on it.

1934
01:14:29,996 --> 01:14:34,396
But the interesting thing is like this post came up because we were covering

1935
01:14:34,396 --> 01:14:37,576
this, like whatever year this was.

1936
01:14:38,456 --> 01:14:38,816
Yeah.

1937
01:14:38,996 --> 01:14:42,016
And when I went to go click on it, it doesn't exist anymore.

1938
01:14:42,016 --> 01:14:43,456
The website doesn't exist anymore.

1939
01:14:43,456 --> 01:14:45,116
The Twitter account doesn't exist anymore.

1940
01:14:45,716 --> 01:14:48,416
Even the podcast that it's attached to doesn't exist anymore.

1941
01:14:48,416 --> 01:14:49,416
You had a podcast?

1942
01:14:49,416 --> 01:14:49,916
Yeah.

1943
01:14:50,016 --> 01:14:50,416
Wow.

1944
01:14:50,416 --> 01:14:56,696
So it just kind of shows that like Stacker News has a lot of old, really valuable posts.

1945
01:14:56,756 --> 01:14:59,796
And this just goes back to what Car was saying for the longest time.

1946
01:14:59,832 --> 01:15:03,192
on this podcast, we should have like a section on Stacker News.

1947
01:15:03,392 --> 01:15:09,292
Maybe it's a territory that's just like a treasure trove post.

1948
01:15:09,512 --> 01:15:14,132
We do the daily post, like this day on Stacker News,

1949
01:15:14,192 --> 01:15:16,072
which covers like the top posts every four years.

1950
01:15:16,072 --> 01:15:18,412
Yeah, but I think there should be like a discovery page.

1951
01:15:19,012 --> 01:15:21,392
Yeah, just like of like the very high quality,

1952
01:15:21,492 --> 01:15:24,572
like stuff that, but just like a high quality post.

1953
01:15:24,572 --> 01:15:25,672
This should be in one of them.

1954
01:15:25,792 --> 01:15:27,552
But at this point, the site's down.

1955
01:15:27,552 --> 01:15:29,952
anyway I was able to pull the

1956
01:15:29,952 --> 01:15:32,172
way back machine but that's I think

1957
01:15:32,172 --> 01:15:34,052
after today it's probably going to be pulled

1958
01:15:34,052 --> 01:15:35,952
so get it while you still can

1959
01:15:35,952 --> 01:15:37,652
you think it was pulled by the government

1960
01:15:37,652 --> 01:15:40,032
but Spice Sense tells me

1961
01:15:40,032 --> 01:15:42,012
it's going to be pulled because this kind of just

1962
01:15:42,012 --> 01:15:44,372
shows everything of what's going on

1963
01:15:44,372 --> 01:15:46,212
okay

1964
01:15:46,212 --> 01:15:47,552
anyway

1965
01:15:47,552 --> 01:15:50,192
it's about to give us some shots but

1966
01:15:50,192 --> 01:15:52,272
before I should

1967
01:15:52,272 --> 01:15:53,432
mention this is

1968
01:15:53,432 --> 01:15:56,312
6102 Topher do you want to explain what a 6102

1969
01:15:56,312 --> 01:15:57,572
and where that comes from in Bitcoin?

1970
01:15:58,432 --> 01:16:01,272
6102 is the famous executive order

1971
01:16:01,272 --> 01:16:03,312
that was issued by Richard Nixon

1972
01:16:03,312 --> 01:16:05,832
to seize all of the gold.

1973
01:16:07,452 --> 01:16:08,412
All of the Bitcoin?

1974
01:16:09,512 --> 01:16:12,852
Oh, well, not yet.

1975
01:16:14,092 --> 01:16:15,572
You think it'll be the same number?

1976
01:16:16,532 --> 01:16:17,512
6121, maybe.

1977
01:16:18,032 --> 01:16:20,232
Yeah, they need to do it like Noster does.

1978
01:16:20,432 --> 01:16:24,292
Like you get maybe 6103 or...

1979
01:16:24,292 --> 01:16:25,252
Oh, they'll just increment it?

1980
01:16:25,252 --> 01:16:26,752
Yeah, 26102.

1981
01:16:26,852 --> 01:16:27,692
Yeah, then I get another one.

1982
01:16:27,872 --> 01:16:29,772
You can see there's a history.

1983
01:16:30,192 --> 01:16:30,692
That's kind of good.

1984
01:16:31,712 --> 01:16:32,632
6102 squared.

1985
01:16:33,972 --> 01:16:35,932
So what's interesting about this,

1986
01:16:36,132 --> 01:16:39,672
what's interesting about this is like everything that has been on this page

1987
01:16:39,672 --> 01:16:42,152
has come exactly true, basically.

1988
01:16:42,812 --> 01:16:45,212
And so for the past three, four years since,

1989
01:16:45,432 --> 01:16:47,852
I think this came out in 2020, to be honest with you.

1990
01:16:48,052 --> 01:16:50,212
And since 2020, for the past five years,

1991
01:16:50,252 --> 01:16:52,112
this has come exactly to fruition.

1992
01:16:52,952 --> 01:16:54,772
And the more you dive deeper into it,

1993
01:16:54,772 --> 01:16:58,992
the more you realize that we're, we're boiling the frog here.

1994
01:16:59,112 --> 01:17:01,572
And so the reason I want to bring this up is because it's important to

1995
01:17:01,572 --> 01:17:02,872
everything that's going on with two 30,

1996
01:17:03,092 --> 01:17:05,572
what's going on with the USDT,

1997
01:17:05,772 --> 01:17:08,392
what's going on with all the stuff that we're seeing that's happening in the

1998
01:17:08,392 --> 01:17:08,852
white house,

1999
01:17:08,852 --> 01:17:12,172
what's going on with all the other stuff that's happening in the world.

2000
01:17:12,172 --> 01:17:14,752
And it's just a timely post. And I think,

2001
01:17:14,832 --> 01:17:18,052
I think definitely Charlie Kirk stuff is really fascinating.

2002
01:17:18,052 --> 01:17:19,432
That's going on with that. So it's just,

2003
01:17:19,532 --> 01:17:22,632
I think it's just people that listen to Snacker news,

2004
01:17:22,852 --> 01:17:24,392
people that listen to Snacker news live,

2005
01:17:24,392 --> 01:17:29,072
people that are the stackers. I'm sharing this today because I think it's very valuable that you

2006
01:17:29,072 --> 01:17:35,832
know this exists. And so it's for y'all. It's not for anybody else. No one else cares because they

2007
01:17:35,832 --> 01:17:41,572
listen to other podcasts and they listen to other stuff. And so it's not for them. Anyways,

2008
01:17:41,872 --> 01:17:48,872
with all that being said, the first point is how could a 6102 attack on Bitcoin look like?

2009
01:17:49,072 --> 01:17:53,232
The first one is capture Bitcoin on and off ramps. So they're going to increase regulatory

2010
01:17:53,232 --> 01:17:57,072
requirements, you're going to see that. And that's already, I would say they've done that.

2011
01:17:57,872 --> 01:18:03,072
They've done that. That's done. They're going to increase KYC verification. Complete.

2012
01:18:03,552 --> 01:18:06,012
Awesome. Complete. I wish I could just go there with a check mark. Complete. Complete.

2013
01:18:06,512 --> 01:18:11,352
They're going to increase use of chain surveillance. So this one, Topher, what do you think?

2014
01:18:11,412 --> 01:18:13,732
Is that complete yet? Or do you think that's still ongoing?

2015
01:18:15,912 --> 01:18:21,952
So I don't know because they have like companies like Chainalysis, but they're

2016
01:18:21,952 --> 01:18:24,232
they're terrible at their jobs.

2017
01:18:25,152 --> 01:18:28,052
And people think of Chainalysis

2018
01:18:28,052 --> 01:18:31,452
as like reading the blockchain.

2019
01:18:32,352 --> 01:18:32,552
Yeah.

2020
01:18:32,672 --> 01:18:34,312
But I think it's more than that.

2021
01:18:34,392 --> 01:18:36,072
I think like you have to,

2022
01:18:36,332 --> 01:18:37,672
you can't just read the blockchain.

2023
01:18:37,672 --> 01:18:39,132
You kind of have to be

2024
01:18:39,132 --> 01:18:42,612
at where the payment processing is happening.

2025
01:18:42,872 --> 01:18:44,132
So you want to be an exchange.

2026
01:18:44,712 --> 01:18:47,092
You want to maybe be a lightning node

2027
01:18:47,092 --> 01:18:49,052
that's processing a lot of payments.

2028
01:18:49,052 --> 01:18:50,572
incestuous with the

2029
01:18:50,572 --> 01:18:53,032
Lightning Network, basically, or with the

2030
01:18:53,032 --> 01:18:54,972
Bitcoin exchanges. I think you

2031
01:18:54,972 --> 01:18:57,072
have to run an actual Bitcoin

2032
01:18:57,072 --> 01:18:58,352
exchange service.

2033
01:18:58,752 --> 01:19:00,932
You're at the source. Or if an exchange is

2034
01:19:00,932 --> 01:19:03,072
using your service, you are collecting that data

2035
01:19:03,072 --> 01:19:04,972
like a social media company

2036
01:19:04,972 --> 01:19:06,972
collects a bunch of data on its users

2037
01:19:06,972 --> 01:19:09,132
and it's just like, that data's mine.

2038
01:19:09,692 --> 01:19:10,812
That's kind of what they're...

2039
01:19:10,812 --> 01:19:13,132
I think it's safe

2040
01:19:13,132 --> 01:19:14,652
to say, SpideySense here

2041
01:19:14,652 --> 01:19:17,032
are saying this, is that

2042
01:19:17,032 --> 01:19:19,032
it's safe to say there's probably companies

2043
01:19:19,032 --> 01:19:21,112
amongst other Bitcoin companies

2044
01:19:21,112 --> 01:19:24,172
that are doing some type of chain surveillance.

2045
01:19:24,892 --> 01:19:25,112
Oh, yeah.

2046
01:19:25,312 --> 01:19:26,412
They're all doing it.

2047
01:19:26,472 --> 01:19:27,552
This is just wargaming.

2048
01:19:27,832 --> 01:19:29,652
This is just car wargaming it out.

2049
01:19:29,672 --> 01:19:31,452
Any regulated exchanges to exchange surveillance.

2050
01:19:31,732 --> 01:19:33,212
This is just car wargaming it out.

2051
01:19:33,752 --> 01:19:34,352
Don't get offended.

2052
01:19:35,892 --> 01:19:37,312
Increasing ISP surveillance.

2053
01:19:37,632 --> 01:19:39,972
So identify Bitcoiners based on internet usage,

2054
01:19:40,112 --> 01:19:41,152
likely ongoing globally.

2055
01:19:41,292 --> 01:19:42,272
What do you guys think about that?

2056
01:19:42,372 --> 01:19:43,432
Increasing ISP surveillance?

2057
01:19:43,512 --> 01:19:43,812
Oh, yeah.

2058
01:19:43,872 --> 01:19:45,952
We've talked about several posts

2059
01:19:45,952 --> 01:19:51,072
about that have been covered by 0x1 BTC, I think,

2060
01:19:51,132 --> 01:19:52,192
or something like that.

2061
01:19:52,452 --> 01:19:56,052
But he does, he run, he, it's called Linking Lion

2062
01:19:56,052 --> 01:19:57,132
if you want to look into it.

2063
01:19:57,172 --> 01:19:59,532
But it's like someone who on the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network

2064
01:19:59,532 --> 01:20:02,512
is just like connecting to like people and then disconnecting.

2065
01:20:02,612 --> 01:20:06,392
He's basically just trying to probe kind of the network

2066
01:20:06,392 --> 01:20:07,172
and get a view of it.

2067
01:20:07,272 --> 01:20:08,832
But that's definitely happening too.

2068
01:20:09,492 --> 01:20:14,092
Yeah, so I think this is another one where it's checkbox, checkbox.

2069
01:20:14,932 --> 01:20:17,712
The next one is uncover peer-to-peer exchange surveillance.

2070
01:20:18,112 --> 01:20:19,212
What do you guys think about that one?

2071
01:20:19,452 --> 01:20:20,332
Do you think that's happening?

2072
01:20:20,552 --> 01:20:22,312
Or do you think that's right back in 2020,

2073
01:20:22,432 --> 01:20:23,652
this was possibly ongoing?

2074
01:20:25,092 --> 01:20:26,272
I believe so.

2075
01:20:26,772 --> 01:20:28,852
I'd do it if I were.

2076
01:20:30,352 --> 01:20:31,952
Define peer-to-peer exchange.

2077
01:20:32,752 --> 01:20:35,332
BISC, RoboSats, Peach.

2078
01:20:35,332 --> 01:20:38,792
So they're basically saying there's probably already

2079
01:20:38,792 --> 01:20:41,432
these services amongst us that are doing

2080
01:20:41,432 --> 01:20:43,812
peer-to-peer exchange surveillance for basically

2081
01:20:43,812 --> 01:20:46,192
the state

2082
01:20:46,192 --> 01:20:49,152
that are posing as these kind of honeypots, basically.

2083
01:20:49,372 --> 01:20:51,952
Well, man, that's tough

2084
01:20:51,952 --> 01:20:54,972
because first there's the capability.

2085
01:20:55,192 --> 01:20:57,052
Do they have the capability to surveil?

2086
01:20:57,252 --> 01:20:59,072
And then there's, are they actually surveilling?

2087
01:20:59,292 --> 01:20:59,452
Yeah.

2088
01:21:00,372 --> 01:21:02,552
So it's undercover peer-to-peer exchange surveillance.

2089
01:21:02,752 --> 01:21:04,272
I think this is possibly ongoing.

2090
01:21:04,472 --> 01:21:07,072
My split-up spy sense tells me this is possibly ongoing.

2091
01:21:07,512 --> 01:21:09,152
Obviously, I'm not going to point any fingers

2092
01:21:09,152 --> 01:21:10,052
or anything like that.

2093
01:21:10,092 --> 01:21:10,792
I'm just going to say,

2094
01:21:10,792 --> 01:21:15,012
I think it's ongoing based off of my vibes.

2095
01:21:16,332 --> 01:21:17,112
So I know that,

2096
01:21:17,112 --> 01:21:22,172
I know that RoboSats has like the arbitration service.

2097
01:21:22,792 --> 01:21:28,912
I don't know enough about it to know if they have like what their surveillance

2098
01:21:28,912 --> 01:21:29,852
capabilities are.

2099
01:21:30,172 --> 01:21:31,332
No, it's not them monitoring.

2100
01:21:31,512 --> 01:21:31,872
It's that,

2101
01:21:32,052 --> 01:21:33,992
it's that people are joining these,

2102
01:21:34,012 --> 01:21:36,752
these peer to peer exchanges and posing as traders,

2103
01:21:36,752 --> 01:21:39,612
but they're mostly just trying to gather data.

2104
01:21:39,612 --> 01:21:45,592
So it's not, it doesn't even involve RoboSats or Vaxill or Peach, like in the loop necessarily.

2105
01:21:45,592 --> 01:21:50,752
It's primarily just the, just you, you join as a average customer or user, but you're,

2106
01:21:50,952 --> 01:21:54,892
you're mostly there to just like get as much information as you possibly can in your trades.

2107
01:21:55,032 --> 01:21:55,212
Do you know?

2108
01:21:55,832 --> 01:21:56,352
Yeah.

2109
01:21:56,692 --> 01:22:03,192
But when you're developing these platforms, you know, like what information is public and

2110
01:22:03,192 --> 01:22:04,332
what information is not.

2111
01:22:04,452 --> 01:22:09,192
And so there's already the expectation, anybody using a platform that all of their

2112
01:22:09,612 --> 01:22:13,392
offers are going to be public and that anybody can scrape those offers.

2113
01:22:13,712 --> 01:22:13,912
Yeah.

2114
01:22:14,312 --> 01:22:18,572
The question is, is like, can they actually monitor the trades?

2115
01:22:18,772 --> 01:22:21,632
And so if you are monitoring the trades because you're a part of the trade,

2116
01:22:21,632 --> 01:22:22,532
that's not scalable.

2117
01:22:22,752 --> 01:22:25,072
I mean, you can only do one at a time.

2118
01:22:25,292 --> 01:22:27,272
If you're the trader and that's how you're monitoring.

2119
01:22:27,672 --> 01:22:31,672
So like you want to get in on the platform and monitor it from a platform level.

2120
01:22:31,752 --> 01:22:32,172
For sure.

2121
01:22:32,372 --> 01:22:33,952
Which I don't know.

2122
01:22:34,032 --> 01:22:38,372
And I think RoboStats could do it because they're like a partner in every trade

2123
01:22:38,372 --> 01:22:40,492
because of the arbitration they have.

2124
01:22:40,752 --> 01:22:42,652
But then maybe they structured it in a way

2125
01:22:42,652 --> 01:22:43,512
where they don't know.

2126
01:22:43,772 --> 01:22:45,912
Well, they're federated now too.

2127
01:22:46,432 --> 01:22:47,012
So that's another,

2128
01:22:47,332 --> 01:22:49,172
at least it's somewhat fractured, whatever.

2129
01:22:49,512 --> 01:22:50,652
But it's the thing like with Phoenix,

2130
01:22:50,852 --> 01:22:53,632
if I use Phoenix for all my liquidity

2131
01:22:53,632 --> 01:22:55,092
and I pay everybody through Phoenix

2132
01:22:55,092 --> 01:22:57,192
and then everybody else uses Phoenix

2133
01:22:57,192 --> 01:22:59,652
and Phoenix is everything that's going on.

2134
01:22:59,652 --> 01:23:01,092
If the services themselves are compromised,

2135
01:23:01,092 --> 01:23:02,572
that's like another issue.

2136
01:23:04,592 --> 01:23:08,332
But I think this is speaking to

2137
01:23:08,332 --> 01:23:10,832
just being a buyer or a seller,

2138
01:23:12,272 --> 01:23:13,172
being a market participant,

2139
01:23:13,312 --> 01:23:14,292
monitoring that way.

2140
01:23:14,352 --> 01:23:15,372
This is possibly ongoing.

2141
01:23:15,652 --> 01:23:17,192
I'm just going to leave it as possibly ongoing.

2142
01:23:18,112 --> 01:23:19,072
Mining regulation.

2143
01:23:19,212 --> 01:23:19,912
So this was another one.

2144
01:23:19,972 --> 01:23:21,772
Mandatory KYC licenses, whitelists.

2145
01:23:22,012 --> 01:23:23,472
I don't think this has happened yet, right?

2146
01:23:23,712 --> 01:23:24,912
No, this hasn't happened yet.

2147
01:23:24,912 --> 01:23:26,132
Yeah, so we haven't gotten this yet.

2148
01:23:26,152 --> 01:23:26,672
Not mandatory.

2149
01:23:27,132 --> 01:23:27,332
Yeah.

2150
01:23:27,692 --> 01:23:28,492
Well, actually,

2151
01:23:28,492 --> 01:23:29,512
a lot of miners do opt in.

2152
01:23:31,372 --> 01:23:33,332
Didn't we have a story not too long ago

2153
01:23:33,332 --> 01:23:34,352
where A,

2154
01:23:35,352 --> 01:23:36,772
so many mining pools

2155
01:23:36,772 --> 01:23:40,092
were using the template from Antpool.

2156
01:23:40,572 --> 01:23:42,172
They were using the same template.

2157
01:23:42,432 --> 01:23:45,592
And then B, like somebody did some research

2158
01:23:45,592 --> 01:23:47,952
where they saw like that there were certain transactions

2159
01:23:47,952 --> 01:23:50,472
that were on an OFAC list.

2160
01:23:50,792 --> 01:23:53,772
They were looking at like which miners included those

2161
01:23:53,772 --> 01:23:56,212
in their block templates and Antpool did not.

2162
01:23:57,152 --> 01:23:58,992
And so then by extension,

2163
01:23:59,152 --> 01:24:02,112
people that used Antpool's templates did not include these.

2164
01:24:02,832 --> 01:24:04,752
Now, it's not effective

2165
01:24:04,752 --> 01:24:11,372
because Bitcoin mining is still decentralized enough that, you know, just one play, even a large

2166
01:24:11,372 --> 01:24:27,308
player can like prevent you from getting your transaction on chain But like I don know it not overt but it there is something going on with like OFAC behind the scenes and it is overt with Ethereum Like Ethereum has like OFAC compliance

2167
01:24:27,308 --> 01:24:27,628
Oh yeah.

2168
01:24:27,628 --> 01:24:28,548
It's a glorious thing.

2169
01:24:28,748 --> 01:24:28,848
Yeah.

2170
01:24:29,228 --> 01:24:29,628
So,

2171
01:24:29,868 --> 01:24:31,728
so this is maybe hypothetical.

2172
01:24:32,808 --> 01:24:33,288
Yeah.

2173
01:24:33,288 --> 01:24:34,408
I would be worried about it.

2174
01:24:34,488 --> 01:24:35,368
I'd be worried about this

2175
01:24:35,368 --> 01:24:36,168
more than anything else.

2176
01:24:36,168 --> 01:24:37,988
I feel like somebody should redo this website

2177
01:24:37,988 --> 01:24:39,288
and then like do like a slider.

2178
01:24:40,228 --> 01:24:42,308
Next one is restrict access to Bitcoin.

2179
01:24:42,428 --> 01:24:43,028
So this is number two.

2180
01:24:43,928 --> 01:24:45,408
Decreasing withdrawal limits.

2181
01:24:45,408 --> 01:24:46,988
So dramatically increased time.

2182
01:24:47,308 --> 01:24:48,888
Taking withdrawal from exchange.

2183
01:24:49,008 --> 01:24:49,808
We've already seen this.

2184
01:24:49,888 --> 01:24:52,728
I think this is complete checkbox, I would say,

2185
01:24:52,848 --> 01:24:53,788
unless you guys disagree.

2186
01:24:55,748 --> 01:24:58,248
We see so many Stacker News posts all the time from,

2187
01:24:58,388 --> 01:24:59,088
oh, I can't withdraw.

2188
01:24:59,948 --> 01:25:00,308
Yeah.

2189
01:25:00,448 --> 01:25:01,968
So I think this is checkbox.

2190
01:25:02,168 --> 01:25:02,428
Yeah.

2191
01:25:02,568 --> 01:25:04,828
I don't know about the globe.

2192
01:25:04,828 --> 01:25:05,908
I mean, in the United States,

2193
01:25:06,068 --> 01:25:09,088
if you're on a custodial exchange,

2194
01:25:09,288 --> 01:25:10,828
you need to view our KYC.

2195
01:25:10,928 --> 01:25:11,848
That's going to change soon

2196
01:25:11,848 --> 01:25:13,588
once we get stable coins rolled out.

2197
01:25:13,848 --> 01:25:16,788
You're going to see that globally now next.

2198
01:25:17,308 --> 01:25:21,808
So you're not going to be able to withdraw to a stablecoin?

2199
01:25:22,048 --> 01:25:26,968
Certainly most places in the globe, as far as I understand, require KYC.

2200
01:25:28,248 --> 01:25:31,468
There's a global body that kind of sets standards.

2201
01:25:31,648 --> 01:25:32,848
I believe it's called...

2202
01:25:32,848 --> 01:25:36,308
This is why stablecoins won't scale, personally.

2203
01:25:36,888 --> 01:25:38,328
It's because of this kind of stuff.

2204
01:25:38,388 --> 01:25:39,508
They're just going to turn off your wallet.

2205
01:25:39,628 --> 01:25:41,628
I think it's FATF.

2206
01:25:42,668 --> 01:25:45,548
There's a global body that sets these kind of financial standards.

2207
01:25:45,548 --> 01:25:51,568
and if any country is following those financial standards,

2208
01:25:51,728 --> 01:25:55,068
which is what you need to do to participate in a global financial economy,

2209
01:25:55,428 --> 01:26:00,668
then you are KYC-ing anyone in a custodial context.

2210
01:26:01,148 --> 01:26:03,188
So the other one is closing accounts,

2211
01:26:03,328 --> 01:26:06,008
boot users who are suspected of using Bitcoin for products,

2212
01:26:06,068 --> 01:26:07,168
services that are not mainstream.

2213
01:26:07,888 --> 01:26:08,708
Do we see that yet?

2214
01:26:08,768 --> 01:26:10,008
I don't know if we see that yet.

2215
01:26:10,208 --> 01:26:11,988
Boot users who are suspected of using.

2216
01:26:11,988 --> 01:26:15,688
I mean, I think we get-

2217
01:26:15,688 --> 01:26:17,048
It's on a case-by-case basis, I feel like.

2218
01:26:17,068 --> 01:26:20,508
You get that a little bit with like a tainted address,

2219
01:26:20,968 --> 01:26:26,148
somehow you being in a custody chain with a tainted address.

2220
01:26:26,388 --> 01:26:26,568
Okay.

2221
01:26:27,408 --> 01:26:30,408
So maybe that's maybe, maybe there.

2222
01:26:30,868 --> 01:26:31,988
No withdrawal option.

2223
01:26:32,088 --> 01:26:32,968
We haven't seen that yet.

2224
01:26:34,588 --> 01:26:37,988
But we do see that with Robinhood, Revolut, and PayPal.

2225
01:26:38,828 --> 01:26:39,668
You can't withdraw yet, right?

2226
01:26:39,668 --> 01:26:40,488
You can't, no.

2227
01:26:40,488 --> 01:26:41,428
Or can you withdraw?

2228
01:26:41,428 --> 01:26:44,488
I think Robinhood allows you to withdraw Bitcoin.

2229
01:26:44,488 --> 01:26:45,548
Okay, so this has changed.

2230
01:26:45,688 --> 01:26:46,688
So maybe it's just revolutionary.

2231
01:26:47,408 --> 01:26:48,768
Possibly even PayPal, too.

2232
01:26:48,948 --> 01:26:52,668
I think most of that was like technical lag

2233
01:26:52,668 --> 01:26:54,648
or they weren't prioritizing it.

2234
01:26:54,668 --> 01:26:56,368
So withdraw options there.

2235
01:26:56,608 --> 01:26:57,768
User confirmed addresses.

2236
01:26:58,768 --> 01:27:00,428
So require users to confirm withdrawals

2237
01:27:00,428 --> 01:27:01,748
are to their own addresses.

2238
01:27:04,728 --> 01:27:06,188
Yeah, that definitely happened.

2239
01:27:08,008 --> 01:27:08,988
That might have been,

2240
01:27:09,328 --> 01:27:10,928
this might have been written around the time

2241
01:27:10,928 --> 01:27:12,488
that that law emerged,

2242
01:27:12,628 --> 01:27:16,008
the travel rule law in Europe emerged

2243
01:27:16,008 --> 01:27:18,068
where you have to basically dox your...

2244
01:27:18,068 --> 01:27:18,708
Address.

2245
01:27:19,308 --> 01:27:23,368
Yeah, your off-chain or your off-exchange wallet.

2246
01:27:23,608 --> 01:27:24,948
User verified addresses.

2247
01:27:25,688 --> 01:27:26,408
There you go there.

2248
01:27:26,928 --> 01:27:29,668
And then let's go on to bans on self-custody.

2249
01:27:29,788 --> 01:27:31,468
We're seeing them try this now.

2250
01:27:32,288 --> 01:27:33,608
I don't know if you guys remember that,

2251
01:27:33,708 --> 01:27:35,608
but we're seeing them try to ban self-custody.

2252
01:27:36,268 --> 01:27:37,668
But I don't think that's going to go through.

2253
01:27:38,768 --> 01:27:39,368
Yeah, that'd be hard.

2254
01:27:39,368 --> 01:27:39,968
That'd be hard.

2255
01:27:40,648 --> 01:27:42,528
So this is where it gets to number three.

2256
01:27:42,768 --> 01:27:46,068
So basically, number one, all of it has been done.

2257
01:27:46,208 --> 01:27:47,808
Number two, some of it has been done.

2258
01:27:47,888 --> 01:27:49,788
They're not quite complete with number two.

2259
01:27:50,068 --> 01:27:52,928
Because basically what I'm saying is like this whole war game, 6102,

2260
01:27:53,348 --> 01:27:54,808
it's already complete number one.

2261
01:27:55,108 --> 01:27:56,928
Number two hasn't been fully complete yet.

2262
01:27:57,728 --> 01:28:00,708
And number three, we're not there yet, thank God.

2263
01:28:01,428 --> 01:28:02,728
But maybe by the end of the decade.

2264
01:28:02,908 --> 01:28:06,308
So number three is these could be automatically taken from custodial wallets.

2265
01:28:06,308 --> 01:28:07,968
So basically this is where it comes back to

2266
01:28:07,968 --> 01:28:09,928
Bitcoin already held by Bitcoiners.

2267
01:28:10,008 --> 01:28:11,988
Users of self-custody would be told to disclose

2268
01:28:11,988 --> 01:28:14,128
all XPUBs and manually send the coins each year.

2269
01:28:14,628 --> 01:28:15,768
Topher, you ready to send back your Bitcoin?

2270
01:28:16,408 --> 01:28:18,708
Possibly rewards for anonymous tip-offs,

2271
01:28:18,868 --> 01:28:20,508
which lead to recovery of Bitcoin

2272
01:28:20,508 --> 01:28:21,928
from non-compliant individuals.

2273
01:28:22,148 --> 01:28:23,248
Ready to be compliant, Topher?

2274
01:28:24,028 --> 01:28:26,788
A yearly tax for your Bitcoin holdings.

2275
01:28:27,748 --> 01:28:28,728
Unrealized capital gains.

2276
01:28:28,768 --> 01:28:29,908
They actually tried this already.

2277
01:28:30,848 --> 01:28:32,828
I think it was on all assets, but yeah.

2278
01:28:33,428 --> 01:28:34,488
Bitcoin wealth tax.

2279
01:28:34,648 --> 01:28:36,008
I think this is definitely going to happen.

2280
01:28:36,008 --> 01:28:37,128
These are all kind of the same.

2281
01:28:37,568 --> 01:28:39,428
They're kind of using the same word.

2282
01:28:39,808 --> 01:28:42,048
There is like different terms for the same thing.

2283
01:28:42,348 --> 01:28:45,008
And then a full 6102 government decrees

2284
01:28:45,008 --> 01:28:46,948
that you have to surrender a percentage of all your Bitcoin,

2285
01:28:47,948 --> 01:28:50,068
similar to the gold's executive order.

2286
01:28:51,708 --> 01:28:53,588
So the conclusion is to all this, stackers,

2287
01:28:53,628 --> 01:28:54,388
if you're still listening.

2288
01:28:54,808 --> 01:28:56,868
Get your coins off the exchange, no KYC,

2289
01:28:57,408 --> 01:29:00,048
user privacy improving tools.

2290
01:29:01,708 --> 01:29:05,988
And yeah, once they put a gold,

2291
01:29:06,008 --> 01:29:12,408
gun to you i don't think um and they use that uh what's that that they use that thought what is

2292
01:29:12,408 --> 01:29:17,968
that that thought police app that you were talking about earlier once they do that we're done for

2293
01:29:17,968 --> 01:29:28,948
keon what do you think about this um i think yeah this i think this war game

2294
01:29:28,948 --> 01:29:35,748
is i don't like it i mean i like the i like the you know the layout is it is i think helpful

2295
01:29:35,748 --> 01:29:39,908
that you can kind of get through the full escalation.

2296
01:29:40,188 --> 01:29:43,208
And it all seems pretty common sense to me.

2297
01:29:43,908 --> 01:29:44,808
And so that's pretty cool.

2298
01:29:44,928 --> 01:29:46,428
I don't like the fact that it might happen.

2299
01:29:48,288 --> 01:29:51,628
That's my high-level thoughts on it.

2300
01:29:52,288 --> 01:29:53,548
Hopefully that's satisfactory.

2301
01:29:53,868 --> 01:29:55,168
Topher, what do you think about all this?

2302
01:29:56,568 --> 01:29:57,288
War gaming?

2303
01:29:58,188 --> 01:30:01,648
I mean, you should be thinking about this all the time.

2304
01:30:02,408 --> 01:30:02,928
It's a BitConer.

2305
01:30:03,588 --> 01:30:05,208
This is all you think about day one.

2306
01:30:05,568 --> 01:30:06,088
Oh, yeah.

2307
01:30:06,708 --> 01:30:08,088
You wake up in the morning,

2308
01:30:08,228 --> 01:30:10,508
this is like your homepage on your computer.

2309
01:30:10,848 --> 01:30:11,128
Yeah.

2310
01:30:11,688 --> 01:30:13,608
And you just read through it.

2311
01:30:14,508 --> 01:30:15,928
And then you read through it.

2312
01:30:15,948 --> 01:30:17,408
Well, this is no longer on the internet anymore, so.

2313
01:30:17,708 --> 01:30:18,468
Yeah, but you go through your own.

2314
01:30:18,468 --> 01:30:20,308
You've downloaded it already as a Bitcoiner.

2315
01:30:20,428 --> 01:30:21,848
You wrote your own version,

2316
01:30:22,048 --> 01:30:23,008
how it's going to happen to you.

2317
01:30:23,308 --> 01:30:25,548
Well, a lot of this is just dealing with exchanges.

2318
01:30:25,548 --> 01:30:27,068
So you just don't deal with exchanges,

2319
01:30:27,068 --> 01:30:28,848
and a lot of this doesn't apply to you.

2320
01:30:31,068 --> 01:30:34,168
Anyways, stackers, you've been warned.

2321
01:30:35,208 --> 01:30:37,108
stay away from exchanges.

2322
01:30:37,108 --> 01:30:37,988
We're going to jump into

2323
01:30:37,988 --> 01:30:40,208
some happy stuff now.

2324
01:30:42,288 --> 01:30:43,588
Stacker News take over

2325
01:30:43,588 --> 01:30:44,608
TabConf 7.

2326
01:30:44,788 --> 01:30:45,928
This was from Blockchain Boog.

2327
01:30:46,008 --> 01:30:46,608
This is Meta.

2328
01:30:47,388 --> 01:30:48,688
Keon, what's going on here?

2329
01:30:49,068 --> 01:30:49,348
Yeah.

2330
01:30:49,568 --> 01:30:51,148
So Blockchain Boog submitted,

2331
01:30:51,388 --> 01:30:52,368
I think we talked about this a while ago.

2332
01:30:52,448 --> 01:30:54,208
Blockchain Boog submitted to TabConf

2333
01:30:54,208 --> 01:30:55,968
to have space for Stacker News.

2334
01:30:57,368 --> 01:30:58,988
And he has been elected

2335
01:30:58,988 --> 01:31:01,368
to have space for Stacker News

2336
01:31:01,368 --> 01:31:03,348
at TabConf 7 in Atlanta,

2337
01:31:03,348 --> 01:31:06,768
I believe October 13th through the 16th.

2338
01:31:07,988 --> 01:31:11,128
And yeah, so we are going to do that.

2339
01:31:12,108 --> 01:31:15,048
Scoresby and I have been planning some things.

2340
01:31:16,428 --> 01:31:19,108
Blockchain Boog has been planning some things.

2341
01:31:20,028 --> 01:31:21,248
Oh, we're getting a circular table.

2342
01:31:21,468 --> 01:31:23,608
And we're going to try to make it fun.

2343
01:31:24,068 --> 01:31:31,108
We're going to try to make it not just a table that has like merch on it.

2344
01:31:31,168 --> 01:31:31,988
We're going to try to make it fun.

2345
01:31:31,988 --> 01:31:33,188
We'll see what we can do.

2346
01:31:33,348 --> 01:31:36,648
but that's what's up.

2347
01:31:37,328 --> 01:31:38,188
That's what's up.

2348
01:31:39,368 --> 01:31:40,508
Yeah, it's going to be fun.

2349
01:31:40,588 --> 01:31:44,448
I think we're going to have the SNL DVD,

2350
01:31:44,828 --> 01:31:46,548
so I'm working on that now.

2351
01:31:47,188 --> 01:31:48,208
Almost have it complete.

2352
01:31:48,688 --> 01:31:52,348
Playpoet's going to have some zines and some,

2353
01:31:52,348 --> 01:31:54,728
what else are you going to have?

2354
01:31:55,128 --> 01:31:56,188
Some other stuff.

2355
01:31:56,668 --> 01:31:58,128
Should like rent out a movie theater.

2356
01:31:59,708 --> 01:32:00,628
Oh, you're not coming?

2357
01:32:02,648 --> 01:32:03,048
Oh.

2358
01:32:03,348 --> 01:32:05,588
She's not coming, but blockchain book web, all the zines.

2359
01:32:06,608 --> 01:32:07,388
What else?

2360
01:32:07,768 --> 01:32:09,008
I think that's about it.

2361
01:32:10,348 --> 01:32:10,748
Cool.

2362
01:32:10,988 --> 01:32:13,468
The other thing I wanted to bring up was this one.

2363
01:32:13,668 --> 01:32:15,468
So I need help with the DVD menu.

2364
01:32:16,028 --> 01:32:17,448
This is not what it looks like.

2365
01:32:17,968 --> 01:32:18,528
Oh, why not?

2366
01:32:19,408 --> 01:32:20,448
Oh, you like that one?

2367
01:32:20,788 --> 01:32:21,468
That's funny.

2368
01:32:21,668 --> 01:32:23,888
I think it's pretty awesome, actually.

2369
01:32:24,288 --> 01:32:25,548
This is the default one.

2370
01:32:25,988 --> 01:32:26,728
Yeah, why not?

2371
01:32:26,888 --> 01:32:30,108
I mean, it's not like someone has seen this a hundred times.

2372
01:32:30,108 --> 01:32:31,828
It's been like 30 years before.

2373
01:32:31,828 --> 01:32:35,308
maybe I'll leave it this one

2374
01:32:35,308 --> 01:32:37,188
I was going to do this one because I thought it'd be funny

2375
01:32:37,188 --> 01:32:39,448
to put like Stacker News on a DVD

2376
01:32:39,448 --> 01:32:41,888
like when you see it in your DVD player

2377
01:32:41,888 --> 01:32:43,668
it would be kind of

2378
01:32:43,668 --> 01:32:45,548
funny like oh wow I have Stacker News live

2379
01:32:45,548 --> 01:32:46,348
on my DVD player

2380
01:32:46,348 --> 01:32:49,168
I changed the thing with the DVD stuff

2381
01:32:49,168 --> 01:32:50,328
some Easter eggs

2382
01:32:50,328 --> 01:32:53,808
anyways if anybody has any ideas

2383
01:32:53,808 --> 01:32:55,068
let me know

2384
01:32:55,068 --> 01:32:56,468
yeah

2385
01:32:56,468 --> 01:32:59,848
other thing is

2386
01:32:59,848 --> 01:33:01,548
Pleb Poet Zine came out

2387
01:33:01,548 --> 01:33:03,848
what is going on

2388
01:33:03,848 --> 01:33:04,788
here it is

2389
01:33:04,788 --> 01:33:06,948
yeah

2390
01:33:06,948 --> 01:33:09,108
hello

2391
01:33:09,108 --> 01:33:11,308
here it is

2392
01:33:11,308 --> 01:33:13,628
I just finished it

2393
01:33:13,628 --> 01:33:16,528
so this is hot

2394
01:33:16,528 --> 01:33:18,428
it's burning my hand right now

2395
01:33:18,428 --> 01:33:19,968
it's so hot off the press

2396
01:33:19,968 --> 01:33:24,448
you know we got classifieds back there on the back

2397
01:33:24,448 --> 01:33:26,108
car didn't want to buy another classified

2398
01:33:26,108 --> 01:33:27,608
so there's three empty spaces

2399
01:33:27,608 --> 01:33:28,908
you got too many customers

2400
01:33:28,908 --> 01:33:31,908
I think we should have done a monthly thing I said.

2401
01:33:31,908 --> 01:33:33,908
We're doing weekly.

2402
01:33:33,908 --> 01:33:36,908
And then there's a new crossword puzzle in there.

2403
01:33:36,908 --> 01:33:51,284
I give you one of the clues right now Let see if you can come up with the answer Okay Okay so this is an asset I guess

2404
01:33:51,524 --> 01:33:52,604
No, I'm just going to read the clue.

2405
01:33:52,684 --> 01:33:56,804
The clue is firmly fixed, pegged, and regulated.

2406
01:34:01,544 --> 01:34:02,024
Wow.

2407
01:34:02,944 --> 01:34:03,884
Any ideas?

2408
01:34:04,164 --> 01:34:04,604
Stablecoin?

2409
01:34:05,504 --> 01:34:06,264
That could be right.

2410
01:34:06,264 --> 01:34:07,104
Sounds like a dating profile.

2411
01:34:07,764 --> 01:34:09,044
That could be right.

2412
01:34:09,784 --> 01:34:14,504
Firmly fixed, pegged, and what was the other one?

2413
01:34:14,604 --> 01:34:15,484
Regulated.

2414
01:34:15,824 --> 01:34:16,304
Regulated.

2415
01:34:17,104 --> 01:34:20,224
But anyway, thanks, everybody, and check it out.

2416
01:34:20,624 --> 01:34:22,744
And yep.

2417
01:34:26,264 --> 01:34:26,784
Two.

2418
01:34:27,824 --> 01:34:28,544
Thank you.

2419
01:34:28,664 --> 01:34:30,024
How do we get the zine?

2420
01:34:32,144 --> 01:34:32,884
Right there.

2421
01:34:34,184 --> 01:34:34,644
Purchase it.

2422
01:34:35,964 --> 01:34:37,004
Click on the zine.

2423
01:34:37,004 --> 01:34:37,944
There's a web version.

2424
01:34:37,944 --> 01:34:40,244
but it takes time to load.

2425
01:34:40,304 --> 01:34:41,804
Hey, there's Teddy.

2426
01:34:43,484 --> 01:34:44,004
Oh, wow.

2427
01:34:44,064 --> 01:34:44,824
Look at this.

2428
01:34:45,024 --> 01:34:46,084
Oh, look at you.

2429
01:34:46,204 --> 01:34:46,444
Yeah.

2430
01:34:46,524 --> 01:34:47,004
Yeah.

2431
01:34:48,324 --> 01:34:50,784
The world's most costly newsletter.

2432
01:34:52,164 --> 01:34:52,944
These ads.

2433
01:34:53,124 --> 01:34:54,524
I like Simple Stacker's ads.

2434
01:34:54,724 --> 01:34:55,464
Help a brother out.

2435
01:34:55,584 --> 01:34:58,144
Lost both hard drives during block size fours.

2436
01:34:58,404 --> 01:34:58,904
Anything help.

2437
01:35:01,704 --> 01:35:02,704
That's awesome.

2438
01:35:03,464 --> 01:35:05,524
You know, it'd be funny if you did like the,

2439
01:35:05,524 --> 01:35:07,084
like traveling to the future.

2440
01:35:07,084 --> 01:35:09,004
That's what I was hoping for.

2441
01:35:09,124 --> 01:35:11,964
Yeah, like a funny, like fun classifier.

2442
01:35:12,024 --> 01:35:12,864
I'm from the future.

2443
01:35:13,084 --> 01:35:14,464
Send help, please.

2444
01:35:14,544 --> 01:35:16,024
I will totally do this next time.

2445
01:35:16,244 --> 01:35:17,044
This is fun.

2446
01:35:18,504 --> 01:35:19,744
You get to see it in print.

2447
01:35:20,264 --> 01:35:20,864
This is good.

2448
01:35:21,064 --> 01:35:22,184
You got trips.

2449
01:35:22,724 --> 01:35:25,184
We don't want to give it all away, so you got to buy it.

2450
01:35:25,264 --> 01:35:25,984
You got to buy this.

2451
01:35:26,264 --> 01:35:27,064
Yeah, it's so hot.

2452
01:35:27,084 --> 01:35:29,104
You can also print it yourself at home if you want.

2453
01:35:29,824 --> 01:35:30,684
Or you can just buy it.

2454
01:35:30,984 --> 01:35:32,524
What is that number for?

2455
01:35:32,604 --> 01:35:33,444
The hashtag number.

2456
01:35:33,704 --> 01:35:34,084
Which one?

2457
01:35:34,724 --> 01:35:35,064
That one.

2458
01:35:35,064 --> 01:35:40,224
It's probably like a secret code

2459
01:35:40,224 --> 01:35:41,364
Oh maybe they're

2460
01:35:41,364 --> 01:35:43,624
It's probably like a drop

2461
01:35:43,624 --> 01:35:45,044
Like a drop location

2462
01:35:45,044 --> 01:35:47,244
It's like GPS coordinates encoded in there

2463
01:35:47,244 --> 01:35:48,184
I'm not sure what it is

2464
01:35:48,184 --> 01:35:50,444
But I imagine that it is a Stacker News post

2465
01:35:50,444 --> 01:35:51,084
So that

2466
01:35:51,084 --> 01:35:52,804
They want to direct you to that post

2467
01:35:52,804 --> 01:35:54,564
That makes a lot more sense actually

2468
01:35:54,564 --> 01:35:55,984
Do you want to try it?

2469
01:35:56,044 --> 01:35:57,784
See what post it is?

2470
01:35:57,784 --> 01:35:58,744
Let's try it

2471
01:35:58,744 --> 01:36:00,364
I'm kind of curious now

2472
01:36:00,364 --> 01:36:02,344
Okay

2473
01:36:02,344 --> 01:36:05,664
you have over a million posts

2474
01:36:05,664 --> 01:36:08,804
712

2475
01:36:08,804 --> 01:36:14,964
cool Darth coin

2476
01:36:14,964 --> 01:36:17,064
did we get the number right though?

2477
01:36:17,064 --> 01:36:18,904
I don't know did we get the number right?

2478
01:36:19,404 --> 01:36:20,524
we can't tell

2479
01:36:20,524 --> 01:36:22,124
but

2480
01:36:22,124 --> 01:36:24,264
1-2-2-7-1-2

2481
01:36:24,264 --> 01:36:26,324
I guess that means

2482
01:36:26,324 --> 01:36:27,924
1-2-2-2

2483
01:36:27,924 --> 01:36:29,624
3-2's

2484
01:36:29,624 --> 01:36:32,324
1-2-2-2

2485
01:36:32,344 --> 01:36:36,924
Shout out to Darth Coyne.

2486
01:36:36,924 --> 01:36:37,924
I think half the post is there.

2487
01:36:37,924 --> 01:36:40,024
KBI probably has more comments than any one.

2488
01:36:40,024 --> 01:36:41,644
Oh wow. Dang.

2489
01:36:42,124 --> 01:36:42,804
Okay here we go.

2490
01:36:42,804 --> 01:36:43,304
Wow.

2491
01:36:43,584 --> 01:36:44,184
Oh.

2492
01:36:45,944 --> 01:36:46,384
Shit.

2493
01:36:46,624 --> 01:36:47,904
I didn't see this post.

2494
01:36:48,024 --> 01:36:50,924
I'm going to have to read this.

2495
01:36:54,264 --> 01:36:55,524
This is why you get the zine.

2496
01:36:55,844 --> 01:36:56,484
More alpha.

2497
01:36:57,124 --> 01:36:59,864
That we can't talk about on the show because it's…

2498
01:36:59,864 --> 01:37:02,584
How did they do it back in the day with the sense?

2499
01:37:04,264 --> 01:37:05,144
Well, I don't know.

2500
01:37:05,324 --> 01:37:06,324
That seemed pretty spicy.

2501
01:37:06,524 --> 01:37:09,324
American Revolution, how they do it when they shared the sense pamphlet.

2502
01:37:09,704 --> 01:37:16,104
Yeah, this is somebody on a horse sharing the zine stuff.

2503
01:37:16,864 --> 01:37:18,044
You can only...

2504
01:37:18,044 --> 01:37:19,264
But we're in a video.

2505
01:37:20,264 --> 01:37:22,004
This is what the British would be doing.

2506
01:37:22,004 --> 01:37:23,664
Or this is what the Americans would be doing.

2507
01:37:23,664 --> 01:37:25,604
I mean, this is technically kind of...

2508
01:37:25,604 --> 01:37:26,684
Having a podcast.

2509
01:37:26,844 --> 01:37:28,064
This is technically the same thing.

2510
01:37:28,264 --> 01:37:29,144
Maybe we're Paul Revere.

2511
01:37:29,144 --> 01:37:31,284
Maybe this is what that is.

2512
01:37:31,324 --> 01:37:34,124
Maybe you have a podcast and you release like a paper version

2513
01:37:34,124 --> 01:37:38,244
and to actually get the alpha, the real alpha is the paper version.

2514
01:37:39,144 --> 01:37:39,924
The Federalist Papers.

2515
01:37:40,864 --> 01:37:41,304
Yeah.

2516
01:37:41,604 --> 01:37:42,644
This is kind of smart, Keon.

2517
01:37:42,664 --> 01:37:43,504
I see what you're doing here.

2518
01:37:44,884 --> 01:37:45,364
Yeah, yeah.

2519
01:37:45,444 --> 01:37:46,164
Federalist Papers.

2520
01:37:46,264 --> 01:37:47,484
They were just circulating them.

2521
01:37:48,384 --> 01:37:48,784
Interesting.

2522
01:37:49,424 --> 01:37:49,604
Yeah.

2523
01:37:49,864 --> 01:37:54,064
It's funny how history is repeating itself.

2524
01:37:54,744 --> 01:37:55,664
Cool stuff.

2525
01:37:55,664 --> 01:37:58,224
the other stuff is

2526
01:37:58,224 --> 01:38:01,584
yeah and then we just got

2527
01:38:01,584 --> 01:38:03,564
the top cowboys

2528
01:38:03,564 --> 01:38:04,384
baby

2529
01:38:04,384 --> 01:38:07,304
let's go to the top cowboys

2530
01:38:07,304 --> 01:38:09,764
this is the most popular

2531
01:38:09,764 --> 01:38:11,384
segment in Bitcoin turns out that

2532
01:38:11,384 --> 01:38:13,544
it's so popular that they're

2533
01:38:13,544 --> 01:38:15,564
showing up on pretext to make bets

2534
01:38:15,564 --> 01:38:17,584
now so we might see some

2535
01:38:17,584 --> 01:38:18,284
actual stuff

2536
01:38:18,284 --> 01:38:21,384
a sailor reached out to me and was like

2537
01:38:21,384 --> 01:38:23,324
how do I get on this segment I'm like sorry buddy

2538
01:38:23,324 --> 01:38:25,004
you can't afford it

2539
01:38:25,004 --> 01:38:26,824
Actually, he could afford it.

2540
01:38:27,724 --> 01:38:28,704
Actually, he could afford it.

2541
01:38:28,744 --> 01:38:30,364
You don't know what it costs.

2542
01:38:30,364 --> 01:38:33,064
Wait, how did Siggy dethrone you?

2543
01:38:34,904 --> 01:38:36,944
He's always been ahead of me.

2544
01:38:37,104 --> 01:38:38,504
Maybe I just had two teclulas.

2545
01:38:40,164 --> 01:38:42,124
Yeah, you might be mixing it up.

2546
01:38:42,304 --> 01:38:44,564
You know, like they're blurring over each other.

2547
01:38:45,144 --> 01:38:46,264
We've got Undiscipline number three,

2548
01:38:46,384 --> 01:38:47,484
Warchin Boo, Grey Ruby.

2549
01:38:47,784 --> 01:38:49,084
I think someone might have dropped out.

2550
01:38:49,444 --> 01:38:50,824
I don't know who, though.

2551
01:38:51,004 --> 01:38:51,944
No, I don't think so.

2552
01:38:52,144 --> 01:38:53,584
I think they might have.

2553
01:38:53,584 --> 01:38:55,204
Yeah, looks the same.

2554
01:38:56,044 --> 01:38:58,164
I think there was one that dropped out.

2555
01:38:58,684 --> 01:38:59,784
I thought they were talking about it.

2556
01:38:59,904 --> 01:39:02,184
Well, that looks the same.

2557
01:39:02,504 --> 01:39:02,804
All right.

2558
01:39:02,964 --> 01:39:03,504
That's smooth.

2559
01:39:03,584 --> 01:39:04,864
Where'd you get that from, the tequila?

2560
01:39:05,644 --> 01:39:06,084
Bochel?

2561
01:39:10,324 --> 01:39:11,204
Oh, nice.

2562
01:39:12,764 --> 01:39:13,404
On Brazos?

2563
01:39:13,544 --> 01:39:14,324
Is that that place?

2564
01:39:14,904 --> 01:39:15,784
There's one by and by.

2565
01:39:15,844 --> 01:39:16,364
It's really good.

2566
01:39:16,524 --> 01:39:17,324
It's really smooth.

2567
01:39:19,524 --> 01:39:21,704
You know, strangely, I feel like eating fajitas.

2568
01:39:23,584 --> 01:39:27,224
I feel like going to go get some fajitas and a margarita.

2569
01:39:27,844 --> 01:39:35,204
Anyways, Piel Curve, Real Bitcoin Doggy, Simple Snacker, EK, FreeTX, Mega Dreamer,

2570
01:39:36,184 --> 01:39:42,544
Solomon's, Toshi, ZeroXBitcoin, Justin ShockNet coming out with all the shocking comments

2571
01:39:42,544 --> 01:39:44,264
on Stacker News.

2572
01:39:44,444 --> 01:39:45,064
Gotta love it.

2573
01:39:45,164 --> 01:39:46,184
Oh, even I'm moving up.

2574
01:39:46,504 --> 01:39:47,244
36 now.

2575
01:39:48,624 --> 01:39:49,464
What else do we got?

2576
01:39:51,484 --> 01:39:52,824
Kian, you see anything you can see here?

2577
01:39:52,824 --> 01:39:54,104
Even Cascader's back.

2578
01:39:54,824 --> 01:39:55,264
Oh, yeah.

2579
01:39:55,364 --> 01:39:57,164
They've been calling out Chadbot.

2580
01:39:57,644 --> 01:39:58,184
Oh, nice.

2581
01:39:58,804 --> 01:40:00,844
We got Ben the Carmen's back, 51.

2582
01:40:02,264 --> 01:40:03,724
He's been going up slowly.

2583
01:40:04,344 --> 01:40:06,124
I think he's trying to get back in here.

2584
01:40:06,884 --> 01:40:08,144
Yeah, we'll see what happens.

2585
01:40:09,584 --> 01:40:12,304
You always thought you were always calling out Ben to be a dark horse.

2586
01:40:12,304 --> 01:40:12,824
I love Ben.

2587
01:40:12,964 --> 01:40:13,744
He's like one of my favorite.

2588
01:40:13,744 --> 01:40:14,524
He's trying to be a light horse.

2589
01:40:14,704 --> 01:40:17,044
Ben Carmen's like one of my favorite Bitcoin developers.

2590
01:40:17,964 --> 01:40:18,204
Okay.

2591
01:40:18,484 --> 01:40:18,884
Besides you guys.

2592
01:40:20,144 --> 01:40:22,524
I feel like that was like you were just doing charity.

2593
01:40:22,524 --> 01:40:23,244
work there.

2594
01:40:23,644 --> 01:40:24,484
Yeah, I love you guys.

2595
01:40:24,824 --> 01:40:25,304
Are you kidding me?

2596
01:40:25,784 --> 01:40:26,764
Max Webster.

2597
01:40:26,924 --> 01:40:28,044
We got It's Real Fake,

2598
01:40:28,264 --> 01:40:28,844
Byzantine,

2599
01:40:29,684 --> 01:40:30,344
TN Snacker,

2600
01:40:32,764 --> 01:40:34,004
R.D. Clark,

2601
01:40:35,464 --> 01:40:36,404
Tima Club.

2602
01:40:37,684 --> 01:40:38,604
Bounty Hunter's there.

2603
01:40:38,604 --> 01:40:38,984
Bounty Hunter.

2604
01:40:40,424 --> 01:40:41,204
Yeah, what's that?

2605
01:40:46,244 --> 01:40:46,844
Cheaper.

2606
01:40:47,464 --> 01:40:48,124
We got Sooks.

2607
01:40:48,144 --> 01:40:49,024
And more exploitive.

2608
01:40:49,404 --> 01:40:52,404
Sooks, Sooks, Sooks, Sooks, Sooks, Sooks.

2609
01:40:52,524 --> 01:40:57,524
And that's it

2610
01:40:57,524 --> 01:40:58,564
Oh you were

2611
01:40:58,564 --> 01:41:00,784
I don't know I didn't see you actually

2612
01:41:00,784 --> 01:41:02,164
Did you not show up this week

2613
01:41:02,164 --> 01:41:04,604
You should have got it back

2614
01:41:04,604 --> 01:41:05,504
Yeah I don't see her

2615
01:41:05,504 --> 01:41:07,964
Oh right there

2616
01:41:07,964 --> 01:41:11,004
What did you post this week

2617
01:41:11,004 --> 01:41:12,524
Just a zine

2618
01:41:12,524 --> 01:41:15,724
Dang he doesn't even zap you

2619
01:41:15,724 --> 01:41:16,764
Look at that

2620
01:41:16,764 --> 01:41:19,644
She just posts all her work stuff

2621
01:41:19,644 --> 01:41:22,344
No I posted her this one

2622
01:41:22,524 --> 01:41:24,444
Carter doesn't want his

2623
01:41:24,444 --> 01:41:27,784
I mean I wish you'd post

2624
01:41:27,784 --> 01:41:28,584
Let's go look

2625
01:41:28,584 --> 01:41:29,964
Oh no it looks like

2626
01:41:29,964 --> 01:41:33,504
You can see that

2627
01:41:33,504 --> 01:41:35,424
Boom boom boom

2628
01:41:35,424 --> 01:41:36,844
Those are

2629
01:41:36,844 --> 01:41:39,384
Yeah it's like 1 in 20

2630
01:41:39,384 --> 01:41:40,644
I posted that one

2631
01:41:40,644 --> 01:41:41,964
Okay

2632
01:41:41,964 --> 01:41:44,944
I posted that one

2633
01:41:44,944 --> 01:41:46,384
Look

2634
01:41:46,384 --> 01:41:49,924
Oh he zaps you not smoking weed

2635
01:41:49,924 --> 01:41:50,984
Look I post

2636
01:41:50,984 --> 01:41:52,444
He zapped you all the time.

2637
01:41:53,204 --> 01:41:54,964
He did give you a thousand sats a couple times.

2638
01:41:55,324 --> 01:41:55,484
Boom.

2639
01:41:57,104 --> 01:41:58,564
Boom, boom, boom.

2640
01:42:00,904 --> 01:42:02,284
That's way back.

2641
01:42:02,804 --> 01:42:05,424
Yeah, I definitely zap you all the time.

2642
01:42:05,504 --> 01:42:06,744
It's just whenever there's something really good.

2643
01:42:07,844 --> 01:42:08,504
You're welcome.

2644
01:42:09,504 --> 01:42:10,184
I keep it real.

2645
01:42:11,604 --> 01:42:13,024
Should we go to yours, Coop?

2646
01:42:13,444 --> 01:42:14,884
Should we log in with your second?

2647
01:42:15,204 --> 01:42:16,404
Oh, you'll just see.

2648
01:42:17,664 --> 01:42:19,084
Probably zaps on everything.

2649
01:42:20,324 --> 01:42:20,724
Okay.

2650
01:42:20,724 --> 01:42:22,384
I'm probably that's the biggest thing.

2651
01:42:22,384 --> 01:42:23,024
Maybe next week,

2652
01:42:23,084 --> 01:42:25,064
Staggers will log in with Kubz login and see.

2653
01:42:26,064 --> 01:42:26,944
At least I keep it real.

2654
01:42:27,864 --> 01:42:28,584
What else?

2655
01:42:29,444 --> 01:42:30,324
I think that's it.

2656
01:42:30,364 --> 01:42:31,184
I think that's all we got.

2657
01:42:33,984 --> 01:42:35,544
Where's the meta thing here?

2658
01:42:37,504 --> 01:42:39,964
I feel like this podcast is going off the rails now

2659
01:42:39,964 --> 01:42:41,344
because I took a couple shots of tequila.

2660
01:42:43,884 --> 01:42:44,444
All right.

2661
01:42:44,484 --> 01:42:45,944
We're going to have the Fountain Boost.

2662
01:42:47,344 --> 01:42:48,984
Blockchain Boost said stay in school, kids.

2663
01:42:49,924 --> 01:42:50,844
Oh, that's good.

2664
01:42:50,944 --> 01:42:52,024
That's also what Bake said.

2665
01:42:53,464 --> 01:42:55,224
Gray Ruby just zapped us.

2666
01:42:55,364 --> 01:42:56,144
And then Discipline says,

2667
01:42:56,244 --> 01:42:58,984
you don't have to move energy from space to Earth

2668
01:42:58,984 --> 01:43:00,864
if you move energy to space.

2669
01:43:01,564 --> 01:43:11,520
Ted I ask you is that true or not It a very concise way of saying what Ted explained to us during the last podcast About getting energy back to Earth Yeah I moving it

2670
01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:19,020
It's very hard to commercialize space.

2671
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:21,380
I don't think we have a great way to commercialize space right now.

2672
01:43:21,380 --> 01:43:26,500
But I think moving, I mean, you can send heavy objects down the gravity well.

2673
01:43:26,660 --> 01:43:30,160
So some aspects of industry could presumably be in space.

2674
01:43:30,620 --> 01:43:33,020
But if you look at the math, even if it's like palladium

2675
01:43:33,020 --> 01:43:35,620
or like the most amazing thing you could possibly imagine,

2676
01:43:35,620 --> 01:43:38,920
it's still not currently economical to go fetch it from space.

2677
01:43:39,020 --> 01:43:42,000
But maybe in the future, and there's certainly things that you get in space

2678
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:42,580
that you don't care elsewhere.

2679
01:43:42,740 --> 01:43:44,880
Like, for example, in the Van Allen belts,

2680
01:43:44,940 --> 01:43:47,300
you get all this antimatter that's like trapped in space.

2681
01:43:47,380 --> 01:43:49,700
You go scoop up some antimatter if you had a good use for it.

2682
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:55,460
But I don't know about moving energy, like energy and heavy industry,

2683
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:58,700
specifically like chips and things that require specialty.

2684
01:43:58,700 --> 01:44:07,020
I think it's going to be very difficult to do that more economically in space and service Earth than vice versa.

2685
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:10,800
So I think it will always be chips and computers coming from Earth.

2686
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:14,160
And then in space, it's probably space is just funding itself.

2687
01:44:15,340 --> 01:44:16,700
At least for the near future.

2688
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:17,680
I don't know.

2689
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:19,160
Maybe he's talking about long term.

2690
01:44:19,480 --> 01:44:20,380
Well, no, he's just saying.

2691
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:21,680
He's an economist.

2692
01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:27,720
well he's saying if we don't uh we don't have to move energy from space back to earth if we

2693
01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:32,660
can relocate industry in space where the energy is abundant that's what he said

2694
01:44:32,660 --> 01:44:37,900
like rather than because we were because i think on the podcast we were talking about taking energy

2695
01:44:37,900 --> 01:44:41,080
that we're gathering from elsewhere and moving it back to earth but then you mentioned that

2696
01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:47,200
it's one of the benefits of commercializing on mars is because the energy is already there

2697
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:49,060
and abundant and it'd be,

2698
01:44:49,220 --> 01:44:51,020
or the energy expenses are cheaper

2699
01:44:51,020 --> 01:44:52,940
because we're already out in space

2700
01:44:52,940 --> 01:44:55,100
that we could do a lot of industrial things

2701
01:44:55,100 --> 01:44:57,160
from the moon that we couldn't do on earth.

2702
01:44:57,340 --> 01:44:57,460
Yeah.

2703
01:44:57,600 --> 01:44:59,520
And even the moon, even Mars,

2704
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:02,320
like even Mars,

2705
01:45:02,420 --> 01:45:03,900
it's like kind of a great jumping off point

2706
01:45:03,900 --> 01:45:05,100
for in the solar system,

2707
01:45:05,180 --> 01:45:06,180
much lower gravity well,

2708
01:45:06,300 --> 01:45:07,620
so it's easier to get off Mars.

2709
01:45:07,820 --> 01:45:08,020
Yeah.

2710
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:10,840
I think the big thing that I find

2711
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:13,640
that's really genius about Elon Musk

2712
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:15,620
is that he kind of merges the physics

2713
01:45:15,620 --> 01:45:16,620
and the economics

2714
01:45:16,620 --> 01:45:21,820
and so you have to think about things like not just necessarily like for example like an engineer

2715
01:45:21,820 --> 01:45:25,980
solar radiation in a unit of space than there is on earth just because there's no atmosphere

2716
01:45:25,980 --> 01:45:31,740
yeah but from economics perspective like there's so much value that comes from being around other

2717
01:45:31,740 --> 01:45:37,200
human beings and other industries so that you can trade like yeah it's like i don't know you know

2718
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:42,420
what the exact number is but i'm sure it's like you know trillions of percents like things that

2719
01:45:42,420 --> 01:45:45,280
are way easier to do when you can specialize.

2720
01:45:45,820 --> 01:45:49,060
So it's a difficult prospect,

2721
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:52,540
but the hope is that we find something super valuable in space

2722
01:45:52,540 --> 01:45:55,540
that can kind of bootstrap everything.

2723
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:56,620
And maybe it's helium-3.

2724
01:45:56,980 --> 01:46:00,660
So if we get fusion going, helium-3 is a good example

2725
01:46:00,660 --> 01:46:03,000
of something that could make it worthwhile.

2726
01:46:03,660 --> 01:46:03,960
Okay.

2727
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:08,760
And people can't see, but Ted has new facial hair

2728
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:10,600
that makes him,

2729
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:13,740
I feel like makes him way more credible.

2730
01:46:15,020 --> 01:46:16,780
He didn't have facial hair before, right?

2731
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:18,100
Did he really?

2732
01:46:18,440 --> 01:46:19,820
This is not very much facial hair.

2733
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:20,340
Oh.

2734
01:46:20,480 --> 01:46:21,340
No, no.

2735
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:24,560
When you start talking about space, though,

2736
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:25,940
what happens is that you just,

2737
01:46:26,120 --> 01:46:26,880
it just sprouts.

2738
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:29,120
Yeah, I mean, he was telling us last week

2739
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:30,960
about how all the graybeards are the ones

2740
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,020
that really know their physics stuff

2741
01:46:33,020 --> 01:46:33,860
or their astrophysics stuff.

2742
01:46:33,860 --> 01:46:34,680
He's always had facial hair.

2743
01:46:35,060 --> 01:46:35,300
Has he?

2744
01:46:35,460 --> 01:46:36,260
You haven't, right?

2745
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:37,200
I feel like he has.

2746
01:46:37,200 --> 01:46:40,620
don't trust him

2747
01:46:40,620 --> 01:46:42,380
that's what I took away

2748
01:46:42,380 --> 01:46:43,900
but he used to work with the space people

2749
01:46:43,900 --> 01:46:46,180
that's what I mean he's coming into it

2750
01:46:46,180 --> 01:46:48,700
it doesn't come on all at once

2751
01:46:48,700 --> 01:46:51,860
did you have facial hair recently

2752
01:46:51,860 --> 01:46:52,820
like this

2753
01:46:52,820 --> 01:46:55,660
okay maybe you did

2754
01:46:55,660 --> 01:46:56,680
he's always had facial hair

2755
01:46:56,680 --> 01:46:58,020
no he hasn't always had

2756
01:46:58,020 --> 01:47:00,160
okay

2757
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:03,060
what is that meme

2758
01:47:03,060 --> 01:47:04,440
where it goes like

2759
01:47:04,440 --> 01:47:05,340
you

2760
01:47:05,340 --> 01:47:09,000
like you don't know I went all in on Bitcoin,

2761
01:47:09,180 --> 01:47:10,240
but there will be signs.

2762
01:47:11,100 --> 01:47:12,020
Something like that.

2763
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:12,820
There will be signs.

2764
01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:13,880
There will be signs.

2765
01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:15,860
There will be signs.

2766
01:47:19,020 --> 01:47:22,900
Well, no, the sign is Ted looks like he's like ready for the market.

2767
01:47:23,440 --> 01:47:23,720
Yeah.

2768
01:47:23,980 --> 01:47:25,620
Are you ready for the market, Ted?

2769
01:47:26,260 --> 01:47:27,840
What are you looking at?

2770
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:29,420
For the market.

2771
01:47:30,100 --> 01:47:31,360
The only market that matters.

2772
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:31,700
Oh, the data market, bro.

2773
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:32,360
Oh.

2774
01:47:35,340 --> 01:47:37,460
I think it's a great shirt

2775
01:47:37,460 --> 01:47:38,680
His swag is increasing

2776
01:47:38,680 --> 01:47:40,540
I have to agree

2777
01:47:40,540 --> 01:47:44,860
He already was on the camp

2778
01:47:44,860 --> 01:47:46,660
We got an eligible bachelor here

2779
01:47:46,660 --> 01:47:49,400
For the two people that are watching

2780
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:51,440
Very eligible

2781
01:47:51,440 --> 01:47:53,260
Car sister might be single

2782
01:47:53,260 --> 01:47:56,120
She's married

2783
01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:57,600
Oh man

2784
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,680
This show has gone off the rails

2785
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:02,000
It was so strong

2786
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:03,180
It started off so strong

2787
01:48:03,180 --> 01:48:04,180
and

2788
01:48:04,180 --> 01:48:05,180
anyway

2789
01:48:05,180 --> 01:48:05,960
YouTube comments

2790
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:06,760
we got YouTube comments

2791
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:07,260
from Vake

2792
01:48:07,260 --> 01:48:08,320
because he's the only one

2793
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:08,880
that comments

2794
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:10,180
stay sober

2795
01:48:10,180 --> 01:48:11,380
oh you commented too

2796
01:48:11,380 --> 01:48:12,060
what did you say

2797
01:48:12,060 --> 01:48:12,880
last week

2798
01:48:12,880 --> 01:48:13,400
yeah

2799
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:14,040
are you Vake

2800
01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:14,940
wait are you

2801
01:48:14,940 --> 01:48:15,500
no Vake

2802
01:48:15,500 --> 01:48:16,120
I know Vake

2803
01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:16,480
he's

2804
01:48:16,480 --> 01:48:17,460
I'll see him at TEPCOM

2805
01:48:17,460 --> 01:48:19,460
okay cool

2806
01:48:19,460 --> 01:48:20,660
he just said

2807
01:48:20,660 --> 01:48:21,320
stay sober

2808
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:23,420
didn't do that today

2809
01:48:23,420 --> 01:48:25,160
stay in your brain

2810
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,000
and stay in school

2811
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:27,800
he also said

2812
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:28,240
stay in school

2813
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:28,600
Keon

2814
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:30,140
that's what I was saying

2815
01:48:30,140 --> 01:48:31,740
I think we all said that

2816
01:48:31,740 --> 01:48:32,520
okay

2817
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:34,520
really

2818
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:36,320
no he didn't say that

2819
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:37,060
tell us the story

2820
01:48:37,060 --> 01:48:37,940
because it's probably

2821
01:48:37,940 --> 01:48:38,440
going to be awkward

2822
01:48:38,440 --> 01:48:39,520
so

2823
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:40,900
shout out to Vake

2824
01:48:40,900 --> 01:48:41,740
I met Vake

2825
01:48:41,740 --> 01:48:42,720
at Bitcoin Vegas

2826
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:43,700
just randomly

2827
01:48:43,700 --> 01:48:44,480
he just walked into

2828
01:48:44,480 --> 01:48:44,880
the Airbnb

2829
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:45,860
that I was staying at

2830
01:48:45,860 --> 01:48:46,160
whoa

2831
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:47,340
because we were having

2832
01:48:47,340 --> 01:48:47,700
a party

2833
01:48:47,700 --> 01:48:48,380
he was there

2834
01:48:48,380 --> 01:48:49,760
Topher was there

2835
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:50,360
where are you there

2836
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:51,360
Topher was this

2837
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:51,820
recently

2838
01:48:51,820 --> 01:48:52,700
Bitcoin Vegas

2839
01:48:52,700 --> 01:48:56,040
I don't remember

2840
01:48:56,040 --> 01:48:57,220
it's so long ago

2841
01:48:57,220 --> 01:48:57,660
aren't they

2842
01:48:57,660 --> 01:48:58,080
it was just

2843
01:48:58,080 --> 01:48:59,440
a long day

2844
01:48:59,440 --> 01:49:00,560
Vake came in

2845
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:02,200
Vake came in

2846
01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:03,300
And he was like, oh, you're a plot poet.

2847
01:49:03,380 --> 01:49:04,340
And I was like, oh, yeah.

2848
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:05,580
Oh, wow.

2849
01:49:05,780 --> 01:49:06,180
That was cool.

2850
01:49:06,740 --> 01:49:07,440
You weren't creeped out?

2851
01:49:07,540 --> 01:49:09,960
He said he just watches Stacker News live, though.

2852
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:12,360
He doesn't read Stacker News, which is kind of funny.

2853
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:18,780
Damn, Keon.

2854
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:21,060
That's what Carl, you told me that already.

2855
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:22,460
No, I never said that.

2856
01:49:22,540 --> 01:49:24,580
You don't need to laugh like you're in a mariachi band.

2857
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:26,900
Hey, I had three of these tequila shots, bro.

2858
01:49:27,860 --> 01:49:28,620
It was so funny.

2859
01:49:28,620 --> 01:49:30,140
You'd be great in a mariachi band.

2860
01:49:30,300 --> 01:49:30,660
I joined.

2861
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:31,440
I almost joined.

2862
01:49:31,540 --> 01:49:32,100
I have a picture.

2863
01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:33,200
I have a picture up with you guys.

2864
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:34,200
Would you guys let me in?

2865
01:49:34,200 --> 01:49:35,200
I do have a picture with me of a mariachi band.

2866
01:49:35,200 --> 01:49:36,200
What instrument would you play?

2867
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:37,200
I was this close.

2868
01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:38,200
Probably like the tuba.

2869
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:39,200
Dude.

2870
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:40,200
Yeah.

2871
01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:41,200
That's kind of…

2872
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:43,200
With the Stacker News hat?

2873
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:44,200
Oh, absolutely.

2874
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:45,200
Dude, crushing it.

2875
01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:46,200
We need to get tassels on it.

2876
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:47,200
You know what?

2877
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:48,200
Startup date, you can't.

2878
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:50,200
I'm totally singing with the mariachis this time around.

2879
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:51,200
Oh, you should.

2880
01:49:51,200 --> 01:49:52,200
Yeah, we are.

2881
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:53,200
Yeah.

2882
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:54,200
I think that's all we got.

2883
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:55,200
Let's see here.

2884
01:49:55,200 --> 01:49:58,200
Optimists say, wait, y'all don't use KSAT, MSAT in Austin.

2885
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:00,200
What are you using your Imperial base?

2886
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:01,200
Oh.

2887
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:02,760
Oh, what's that?

2888
01:50:02,820 --> 01:50:03,720
What does that mean, Keon?

2889
01:50:03,980 --> 01:50:05,420
Oh, well, because we were talking about...

2890
01:50:05,420 --> 01:50:07,880
That's a chism joke.

2891
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:08,440
I don't get it.

2892
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,600
No, because you were talking about how the imperial system is better

2893
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:13,180
and miles are better and stuff.

2894
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:13,580
Okay.

2895
01:50:13,820 --> 01:50:16,580
And he's like, well, we use Kilosat and Millisat

2896
01:50:16,580 --> 01:50:19,900
outside of the United States.

2897
01:50:20,020 --> 01:50:20,380
Do they?

2898
01:50:20,380 --> 01:50:23,200
Do they seriously use Kilosat?

2899
01:50:24,300 --> 01:50:25,660
It would make sense.

2900
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:28,260
Millisats aren't real.

2901
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:32,480
Yeah, but they're useful in context where you have consensus.

2902
01:50:33,100 --> 01:50:35,920
I mean, if you want to play with make-believe money, I guess.

2903
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:39,460
Yeah, with like a channel partner, you have consensus on them existing

2904
01:50:39,460 --> 01:50:41,220
so they can accumulate into real money.

2905
01:50:42,900 --> 01:50:43,780
Can they though?

2906
01:50:44,100 --> 01:50:44,320
Yeah.

2907
01:50:44,900 --> 01:50:47,700
But the most they could ever accumulate into is one set.

2908
01:50:48,900 --> 01:50:51,800
Yeah, but you accumulate one set.

2909
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:54,840
Even then, you've got to get past the dust limit.

2910
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:58,060
There's a lot of barriers you have to get past.

2911
01:50:58,060 --> 01:51:00,520
Yeah, but if you have a channel open for so long,

2912
01:51:00,660 --> 01:51:03,040
you can imagine how many millisats you accumulate.

2913
01:51:03,700 --> 01:51:05,660
And eventually you're past the dust limit.

2914
01:51:05,980 --> 01:51:08,800
And the dust limit is decreasing over time.

2915
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:12,260
So you're saying we can get rid of the dust limit if we go to millisats?

2916
01:51:13,300 --> 01:51:16,820
Well, on-chain fees have been dropped.

2917
01:51:16,820 --> 01:51:22,040
The limit on on-chain fees has been dropped even below a sat per V byte.

2918
01:51:22,440 --> 01:51:22,940
So who knows?

2919
01:51:23,060 --> 01:51:25,360
Maybe the dust limit will be a millisat.

2920
01:51:25,640 --> 01:51:26,960
No, it can't ever be a millisat.

2921
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:29,120
But maybe it will be...

2922
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:30,280
This is how they pull you back.

2923
01:51:31,420 --> 01:51:31,780
Yeah.

2924
01:51:32,140 --> 01:51:33,680
This is how they pull you back, Ted.

2925
01:51:35,940 --> 01:51:36,300
Unbelievable.

2926
01:51:36,540 --> 01:51:37,180
Wait, no, we have...

2927
01:51:37,180 --> 01:51:39,360
Yeah, we're already using subset units on,

2928
01:51:39,820 --> 01:51:41,140
at least for transactions.

2929
01:51:41,440 --> 01:51:43,360
So, because we just have miners or...

2930
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:44,660
Yeah, but, you know, I have...

2931
01:51:44,660 --> 01:51:45,600
Wait, how does that even work?

2932
01:51:45,700 --> 01:51:46,380
I have this rule.

2933
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:47,020
What, subset?

2934
01:51:47,340 --> 01:51:50,700
Yeah, how do we have subset per V by on on-chain fees?

2935
01:51:51,480 --> 01:51:53,820
Yeah, but I have this rule and I release stats on the table.

2936
01:51:53,820 --> 01:51:56,760
Because you have to pay at least one sat.

2937
01:51:56,760 --> 01:51:59,220
You have to at least pay one SAT per transaction.

2938
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:00,320
You don't have to.

2939
01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:02,620
It's either zero or one.

2940
01:52:02,620 --> 01:52:03,720
That's all you can do is zero or one.

2941
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:06,440
You have to choose between zero or one.

2942
01:52:06,480 --> 01:52:07,240
But for DOS protection.

2943
01:52:07,540 --> 01:52:07,700
Okay.

2944
01:52:07,840 --> 01:52:08,760
Anyway, we're getting...

2945
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:09,760
You guys are getting full tizzered.

2946
01:52:10,300 --> 01:52:10,880
I'm sorry.

2947
01:52:10,980 --> 01:52:11,180
Yeah.

2948
01:52:11,300 --> 01:52:14,080
Can someone whisper to me so I can come back?

2949
01:52:15,300 --> 01:52:21,240
You need like an Inception where you got to have the memento in your hands.

2950
01:52:21,260 --> 01:52:22,600
I'm still laughing about Big's comment.

2951
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:23,780
Like the chess piece.

2952
01:52:24,180 --> 01:52:25,020
Big really said that?

2953
01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:25,800
Spinner top.

2954
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:27,140
He doesn't go to Stegger News.

2955
01:52:28,140 --> 01:52:28,920
It's terrible.

2956
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:29,700
He told you that.

2957
01:52:29,736 --> 01:52:31,676
And you told me that already.

2958
01:52:31,856 --> 01:52:32,336
So terrible.

2959
01:52:32,476 --> 01:52:33,916
Hey, come to Stacker News, bro.

2960
01:52:35,476 --> 01:52:36,636
Stacker.news.

2961
01:52:36,976 --> 01:52:38,056
Don't feel obligated.

2962
01:52:38,156 --> 01:52:40,636
I enjoy having someone that just watched the podcast.

2963
01:52:40,816 --> 01:52:41,296
I'm telling him.

2964
01:52:41,296 --> 01:52:42,516
Maybe he's just a visual learner.

2965
01:52:44,896 --> 01:52:45,656
Wait, what?

2966
01:52:46,616 --> 01:52:47,516
The zines?

2967
01:52:48,916 --> 01:52:49,356
Fake.

2968
01:52:49,476 --> 01:52:50,676
You're on a computer all day.

2969
01:52:51,816 --> 01:52:52,896
Just go to Stacker.

2970
01:52:53,176 --> 01:52:54,376
Because I know we talked.

2971
01:52:54,616 --> 01:52:56,096
Oh, they're doxing now.

2972
01:52:57,676 --> 01:52:58,156
Anyways.

2973
01:52:58,416 --> 01:52:58,976
I'll see my tab.

2974
01:52:58,976 --> 01:53:00,676
I'll convince them to make an account.

2975
01:53:02,296 --> 01:53:02,696
Anyways.

2976
01:53:03,936 --> 01:53:04,856
Yeah, go for it.

2977
01:53:05,256 --> 01:53:07,436
I have an idea for your DVD menu.

2978
01:53:07,736 --> 01:53:08,656
Yeah, what was it?

2979
01:53:08,776 --> 01:53:11,516
Just superimpose you and Kion

2980
01:53:11,516 --> 01:53:12,856
into a mariachi band

2981
01:53:12,856 --> 01:53:13,996
and just do a little song.

2982
01:53:17,496 --> 01:53:18,316
That's great.

2983
01:53:19,256 --> 01:53:19,696
Yeah.

2984
01:53:20,216 --> 01:53:21,936
Yeah, we can do a little dance and a song.

2985
01:53:21,936 --> 01:53:24,696
Yeah, and like a terrible looping animation.

2986
01:53:24,696 --> 01:53:28,616
I want to do the

2987
01:53:28,616 --> 01:53:30,996
Easter egg menus where they have

2988
01:53:30,996 --> 01:53:31,996
Easter eggs in them

2989
01:53:31,996 --> 01:53:33,376
I want to do that too

2990
01:53:33,376 --> 01:53:35,876
Okay

2991
01:53:35,876 --> 01:53:38,736
Alright we got to end the show

2992
01:53:38,736 --> 01:53:39,576
Because yeah

2993
01:53:39,576 --> 01:53:41,456
Time's run out

2994
01:53:41,456 --> 01:53:41,796
Zap
