00:01:15,245 --> 00:01:15,565 And 38 00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:17,885 can you tell us about Bitcoin im Ländle and 39 00:01:17,885 --> 00:01:20,235 what that is and how you came up with that? 40 00:01:20,385 --> 00:01:25,704 So Bitcoin im Ländle is like the, let's say like the most Bitcoin 41 00:01:25,975 --> 00:01:27,764 maxi event in Germany, I would say. 42 00:01:27,764 --> 00:01:29,475 I mean, it's not like a big conference. 43 00:01:29,495 --> 00:01:32,515 Of course we are in the hotel, so it's pretty familiar atmosphere. 44 00:01:32,895 --> 00:01:34,705 It's around 150 people. 45 00:01:35,225 --> 00:01:39,905 And yeah, we have like different workshops, talks, speeches, and like 46 00:01:39,905 --> 00:01:43,375 the special thing is that we also have like lots of fun things, so 47 00:01:43,375 --> 00:01:45,155 it's not like just serious talks. 48 00:01:45,265 --> 00:01:48,015 It's also lots of fun and also lots of laughing. 49 00:01:48,024 --> 00:01:50,734 And I mean, the networking part is also So. 50 00:01:50,865 --> 00:01:54,025 Very, very special because it's just completely different. 51 00:01:54,025 --> 00:01:56,715 If you're like in a hotel, it's like a bitcoin citadel. 52 00:01:56,715 --> 00:01:59,645 And like, if the event is over, you're not just like, everyone 53 00:01:59,645 --> 00:02:00,715 is leaving to the hotel. 54 00:02:01,035 --> 00:02:03,034 I mean, then you're still in the hotel. 55 00:02:03,035 --> 00:02:07,784 So the hotel and the event, it's like one part and not like, um, uh, separated. 56 00:02:07,784 --> 00:02:11,015 And this is, gives it like a very, very unique atmosphere. 57 00:02:11,540 --> 00:02:14,710 I mean, you've been out here for the second time and probably 58 00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:16,100 you can tell your experience. 59 00:02:16,109 --> 00:02:17,359 But yeah, I love it. 60 00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:17,810 Like, 61 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:20,440 and, uh, the hotel is amazing. 62 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,100 And every time I go there, there's a, uh, a new Easter egg or a new 63 00:02:25,109 --> 00:02:26,540 piece of Bitcoin art somewhere. 64 00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:30,499 And something I haven't seen before, uh, it is, it's really cool. 65 00:02:30,499 --> 00:02:34,390 It's full of Bitcoin memorabilia or whatever you call 66 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:34,619 it. 67 00:02:35,260 --> 00:02:35,559 Yes. 68 00:02:35,559 --> 00:02:39,609 Because right now, like Bitcoin is really like often very theoretical. 69 00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:41,980 I mean, you have like all the podcasts, the videos, the 70 00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:43,329 books, and this is awesome. 71 00:02:43,570 --> 00:02:47,325 But like for lots of people, they're asking where can I touch Bitcoin? 72 00:02:47,325 --> 00:02:47,980 Or where is Bitcoin? 73 00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:49,809 What, what is Bitcoin? 74 00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:50,170 Yeah. 75 00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:50,171 Yeah. 76 00:02:50,350 --> 00:02:55,749 And so we want to give people like, uh, chance to make Bitcoin like credible. 77 00:02:56,060 --> 00:03:00,579 So you can, there is a physical place and physical people meeting there talking 78 00:03:00,579 --> 00:03:05,280 about Bitcoin, living Bitcoin, spending Bitcoin and actually experiencing it. 79 00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:09,010 And this is just like the next level because yeah, Bitcoin is 80 00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:13,059 now growing up and also like real world adoption is happening and 81 00:03:13,119 --> 00:03:14,410 this is like what we're doing here. 82 00:03:14,619 --> 00:03:14,889 Yeah. 83 00:03:14,939 --> 00:03:15,099 And 84 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:18,149 Bitcoin and Bitcoiners are really just. 85 00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:20,910 Two sides of the same coin, we're the same thing. 86 00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:22,030 We are the coins, right? 87 00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:25,160 So, and yeah, it's great to be here. 88 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:31,829 I came in the day before yesterday, and we were the first to arrive, I 89 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:37,035 guess, and more and more Bitcoiners are just Been dropping in here yesterday 90 00:03:37,035 --> 00:03:39,315 and today, so it's beautiful to see. 91 00:03:40,265 --> 00:03:41,145 Uh, all right. 92 00:03:41,175 --> 00:03:46,304 And is this is the, is it this the third or the fourth Bitcoin Nymlandland? 93 00:03:46,304 --> 00:03:51,045 It's the fourth, so it's like two times a year, but we also have like other events. 94 00:03:51,065 --> 00:03:51,895 So it's like. 95 00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:55,070 Almost every month we have like a different kind of event. 96 00:03:55,109 --> 00:03:57,950 So we have like different topics. 97 00:03:57,959 --> 00:03:59,880 So for example, we have privacy events. 98 00:03:59,890 --> 00:04:01,859 So this is of course the Bitcoin Maxi event. 99 00:04:01,859 --> 00:04:03,250 Then we have like beginner events. 100 00:04:03,699 --> 00:04:05,630 We have events especially for women. 101 00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:08,040 We have events for Austrian economics. 102 00:04:08,109 --> 00:04:10,980 We have, yeah, like more technical events. 103 00:04:11,419 --> 00:04:15,439 And so different types of events because we want to target different groups. 104 00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:17,539 And yeah, this is like what we're doing. 105 00:04:17,539 --> 00:04:19,420 And also like we're doing not just events. 106 00:04:19,420 --> 00:04:20,490 We're also doing like platforms. 107 00:04:21,515 --> 00:04:25,385 Different other types of activities where we just meet and instead of making 108 00:04:25,385 --> 00:04:29,625 a meetup, we meet and we walk together because this is super easy and super fun. 109 00:04:29,914 --> 00:04:33,745 And then afterwards, we will come here and have a like, like a after meetup. 110 00:04:34,315 --> 00:04:34,614 Yeah. 111 00:04:34,614 --> 00:04:34,644 And 112 00:04:34,645 --> 00:04:38,554 pleb walks is a special thing like, uh, that, that originates 113 00:04:38,694 --> 00:04:41,104 from the German Bitcoin community. 114 00:04:41,105 --> 00:04:42,015 The Einundzwanzig. 115 00:04:43,255 --> 00:04:44,435 It all originates from here. 116 00:04:44,495 --> 00:04:48,085 We made the first pleb walk and because it was in Corona time 117 00:04:48,085 --> 00:04:49,445 and we were not able to meet. 118 00:04:49,730 --> 00:04:51,240 And then we said, okay, fuck it. 119 00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:54,190 We're just like meeting here and going for a blab walk. 120 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,290 And so it originated here with like three people and now everyone is. 121 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,249 We're doing one on Madeira, uh, after Atlantis this March. 122 00:05:04,559 --> 00:05:06,250 So, uh, yeah. 123 00:05:06,250 --> 00:05:11,570 And the, can you tell us a bit more about the, um, uh, Einundzwanzig community? 124 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,230 Because like in, in Germany, like the Bitcoin scene is huge. 125 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,280 It's like everywhere. 126 00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:19,450 Yeah, because this is really special because. 127 00:05:20,330 --> 00:05:24,159 I mean, for the Bitcoin community to really grow up, you need to have like 128 00:05:24,219 --> 00:05:29,630 some type of organization or you need to be like organ, organ, organizated. 129 00:05:30,019 --> 00:05:30,519 Is this the right word? 130 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:30,949 Organized. 131 00:05:30,990 --> 00:05:31,490 Organized. 132 00:05:31,729 --> 00:05:32,209 Organized. 133 00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:32,389 Yes. 134 00:05:32,389 --> 00:05:32,599 Yes. 135 00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:37,480 And for example, um, this year in the beginning of the year, I was in Thailand. 136 00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:42,320 And there are lots of Bitcoiner, but they don't have telegram groups. 137 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,350 They are not organized, so they are all around the country, but 138 00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:47,910 nothing is happening, no meetups. 139 00:05:48,049 --> 00:05:52,000 And this is different here in Germany because we have like the 21st community 140 00:05:52,259 --> 00:05:54,640 and it's a decentralized community. 141 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,820 So everyone can like make his own meetup in the city. 142 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,600 And then we have like a page where you can, it's like a map where you can 143 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,880 see, okay, there are all the meetups. 144 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,860 So, it's like decentralized, but not decentralized without organization, 145 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:10,860 decentralized with organization. 146 00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:12,980 And this is like the big difference. 147 00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:17,310 And it's like, everyone can like come up with ideas also for like a 148 00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:19,289 YouTube channel and other things. 149 00:06:19,290 --> 00:06:22,194 And if you like to post a video, you can post a video. 150 00:06:22,355 --> 00:06:27,225 So depending on how much you want to do for like this movement, you can 151 00:06:27,235 --> 00:06:31,074 do something or you can do nothing and yeah, a lot more and more people 152 00:06:31,195 --> 00:06:34,914 come in the community and the cool thing about Bitcoin is because 153 00:06:34,915 --> 00:06:36,584 it's not just some type of money. 154 00:06:36,585 --> 00:06:39,524 It's also like a social layer and therefore like the 155 00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:40,915 community is really awesome. 156 00:06:40,915 --> 00:06:43,085 And that's also what we see here in the hotel. 157 00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:47,055 We want to integrate the community because Oftentimes people are 158 00:06:47,255 --> 00:06:50,755 like wondering, okay, should I accept Bitcoin for my business? 159 00:06:51,115 --> 00:06:52,985 And they are wondering what are the benefits? 160 00:06:53,075 --> 00:06:56,654 And I mean, sure, there are benefits like you have less transaction fees and 161 00:06:56,974 --> 00:07:01,454 instant settlement and things like that, but there's so much more like you have 162 00:07:01,575 --> 00:07:05,514 the connection to the community and the community that will bring ideas that will 163 00:07:05,514 --> 00:07:08,355 bring so much energy into your business. 164 00:07:08,565 --> 00:07:12,945 And then you just have to take the energy from the community and. 165 00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:14,889 Integrate it to your business. 166 00:07:14,919 --> 00:07:19,140 And this is extremly good things happening for your business. 167 00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:21,729 And also it's so refreshing because they come here. 168 00:07:21,729 --> 00:07:23,599 They bring paintings here. 169 00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:24,580 They bring artworks here. 170 00:07:24,580 --> 00:07:25,899 They bring lightning gadgets here. 171 00:07:25,899 --> 00:07:26,929 They have ideas. 172 00:07:26,930 --> 00:07:27,199 Okay. 173 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:28,300 Can I do this talk? 174 00:07:28,310 --> 00:07:30,879 Can I do a workshop here? 175 00:07:30,919 --> 00:07:32,245 I have an idea for an event. 176 00:07:32,245 --> 00:07:33,085 Can we do an event? 177 00:07:33,085 --> 00:07:35,605 So it's so much collaboration happening. 178 00:07:35,785 --> 00:07:39,415 And this is just different than like in the fiat space because 179 00:07:39,415 --> 00:07:41,725 you really have like this oneness. 180 00:07:41,815 --> 00:07:44,215 You are always saying we are, the Bitcoin. 181 00:07:44,215 --> 00:07:46,585 So you have really like this oneness, this connection to 182 00:07:46,585 --> 00:07:49,055 the community and connecting. 183 00:07:49,055 --> 00:07:54,544 is like a big profit for business and not doing this is actually stupid. 184 00:07:54,715 --> 00:07:55,015 No, 185 00:07:55,325 --> 00:07:56,364 I totally agree. 186 00:07:56,364 --> 00:07:58,234 It's like an organic think tank. 187 00:07:58,734 --> 00:07:59,895 That's all over the world. 188 00:08:00,254 --> 00:08:03,874 And yeah, I saw one of these maps of the Ein und Zwanzig meetups. 189 00:08:05,244 --> 00:08:12,035 And as I understand it, there's a meetup every month in each major city of Germany, 190 00:08:12,395 --> 00:08:14,745 like each and every one of the major 191 00:08:14,745 --> 00:08:15,284 cities. 192 00:08:15,655 --> 00:08:15,974 Yes. 193 00:08:16,474 --> 00:08:17,474 Sometimes even more. 194 00:08:17,474 --> 00:08:20,495 Like, so for example, here in the Stuttgart area, we have like. 195 00:08:20,735 --> 00:08:24,975 Every month in Stuttgart meetup, then like almost every month we have in 196 00:08:24,985 --> 00:08:28,165 the hotel a meetup, which is pretty close to Stuttgart, and then we are now 197 00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:32,824 starting a third meetup here, which is like two towns next to the hotel, which 198 00:08:32,865 --> 00:08:34,674 we will also probably do every month. 199 00:08:34,744 --> 00:08:37,775 So, and yeah, just meetups everywhere around. 200 00:08:38,385 --> 00:08:38,734 All right. 201 00:08:38,735 --> 00:08:38,975 So, 202 00:08:38,995 --> 00:08:46,045 so for those who need a bit of a refresher in their German geography skills, like, 203 00:08:46,065 --> 00:08:52,605 uh, or mid Europe geography skills, Stuttgart, this, This village is located 204 00:08:52,605 --> 00:08:55,005 like 20 minutes outside of Stuttgart. 205 00:08:55,005 --> 00:08:55,245 Right, 206 00:08:55,575 --> 00:08:56,145 exactly. 207 00:08:56,145 --> 00:09:00,465 So it's like pretty close to Switzerland and like in the south 208 00:09:00,465 --> 00:09:03,765 of Germany, pretty close to Munich, also pretty close to Frankfurt. 209 00:09:03,945 --> 00:09:08,265 So it's actually pretty good located because the cool thing is all the 210 00:09:08,265 --> 00:09:14,295 great Bitcoin events in the , in the German speaking area are like 200 211 00:09:14,295 --> 00:09:16,605 or 300 kilometers next to blocking. 212 00:09:16,605 --> 00:09:19,095 And so it's, it's like pretty good located for. 213 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,190 Um, going to Bitcoin conferences and going to Bitcoin events and, and it's 214 00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:26,730 pretty close to Austria and, and Czechoslovakia as, or Exactly. 215 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:27,510 Czechia Czech. 216 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:28,740 The Czech Republic. 217 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,550 I'm too old. 218 00:09:29,580 --> 00:09:29,970 Exactly. 219 00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:31,500 Like the Czech Republic as well, right? 220 00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:32,550 Yeah, exactly. 221 00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:38,895 And that's, that's also German has German speaking parts, I guess, closer 222 00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:39,670 to the border. 223 00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:40,689 Yes, yes, 224 00:09:40,689 --> 00:09:40,814 yes, yes. 225 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:42,920 Yeah, it's a beautiful area. 226 00:09:42,970 --> 00:09:46,690 And, um, uh, what else? 227 00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:48,700 Uh, yeah, you have a grand piano 228 00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:49,060 here. 229 00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:49,490 Yes. 230 00:09:49,490 --> 00:09:49,775 Yes. 231 00:09:49,775 --> 00:09:50,059 Sure. 232 00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:50,310 Sure. 233 00:09:50,740 --> 00:09:56,030 I mean, the thing is, this is really funny because I mean, lots of people 234 00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:58,480 would say Bitcoin is like a language. 235 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,700 And Bitcoin is like a universal language, just like math. 236 00:10:02,830 --> 00:10:04,920 So everyone can actually understand it. 237 00:10:05,070 --> 00:10:08,720 So if you're American or if you're Chinese or if you're Japanese, 238 00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:10,310 everyone can understand it. 239 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:14,419 And it's just also like music because music is also like a universal language. 240 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,519 So if you, for example, take Chinese people or African people or German 241 00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:22,490 people, And you play some music and they can't talk with each other because 242 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,720 they are from different countries. 243 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,520 But if you play music, everyone will understand it and it will start to dance. 244 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,700 And even if they are enemies, they will start to dance together 245 00:10:31,820 --> 00:10:34,829 because music connects and music is a universal language. 246 00:10:35,255 --> 00:10:38,905 But also Bitcoin connects, and Bitcoin is a universal language, 247 00:10:39,065 --> 00:10:41,325 and this is like pretty nice to see. 248 00:10:41,925 --> 00:10:46,744 Yeah, I think there are a lot of parallels with music. 249 00:10:46,745 --> 00:10:52,685 It's like, to me, Bitcoin is something, very mathematical and 250 00:10:52,695 --> 00:10:57,985 very structured that enables us to be more spiritual, if you will. 251 00:10:58,965 --> 00:11:01,425 So, if you have a base layer of... 252 00:11:01,685 --> 00:11:07,135 Perfect organization and like everything's structured and everything is thought out 253 00:11:07,775 --> 00:11:15,435 that allows for layers on top to be more, um, spiritual for lack of a better word. 254 00:11:15,855 --> 00:11:17,324 Uh, so, so that's, that's. 255 00:11:18,610 --> 00:11:24,490 And, uh, that's what I love about music, it triggers every part of the brain, 256 00:11:24,490 --> 00:11:28,650 it triggers the logic part that has to, uh, you know, think about harmonies and 257 00:11:28,650 --> 00:11:32,030 how to put chords together if you're fiddling with a melody or something, 258 00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:37,180 you have to figure out how that works, and it helps a lot to know some stuff 259 00:11:37,180 --> 00:11:44,459 about harmonics, and music in general, but At the end of the day, it's all 260 00:11:44,459 --> 00:11:47,490 about expressing something spiritual. 261 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:51,130 So expressing yourself in some way, shape or form. 262 00:11:51,150 --> 00:11:52,910 And Bitcoin is the same thing. 263 00:11:52,910 --> 00:11:58,889 It's, something very structured, with a fixed set of rules that 264 00:11:58,889 --> 00:12:04,020 are hard to change, that allows us to express ourselves and our 265 00:12:04,020 --> 00:12:07,029 feelings in all sorts of ways. 266 00:12:07,079 --> 00:12:09,889 And I think that the only thing that's holding us back from. 267 00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:16,530 Exploring thhat part of the rabbit hole more is our imaginations. 268 00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:21,029 we just have to imagine new ways to, uh, I mean, it's unlocking a whole 269 00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:25,509 new way of coexisting in a way. 270 00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:30,340 Yes, I, I, I totally agree because yeah, music is something really 271 00:12:30,340 --> 00:12:33,370 special because also like what you're saying, like the left brain 272 00:12:33,370 --> 00:12:36,250 and the right brain is connected because normally in your normal day. 273 00:12:36,495 --> 00:12:40,965 You're always having like either the left brain or the right brain active and like 274 00:12:40,965 --> 00:12:44,635 music brings you in this flow state and then everything is connected and then 275 00:12:44,635 --> 00:12:49,775 you're just so much more efficient and this is like also in Bitcoin because if 276 00:12:49,775 --> 00:12:54,314 you want to understand Bitcoin, you can't understand it from one perspective, you 277 00:12:54,315 --> 00:12:56,295 need to combine different perspectives. 278 00:12:56,405 --> 00:13:00,785 So for example, math, mathematics, psychology, then cryptography, 279 00:13:01,585 --> 00:13:04,819 like Game theory, um, finances. 280 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,680 So it's like so many parts. 281 00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:11,359 And also like, always, you see this, if there is some Bitcoin critic, he's looking 282 00:13:11,359 --> 00:13:13,449 on Bitcoin just from one perspective. 283 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,400 And if you're looking just from one perspective, then sure, it looks like, 284 00:13:17,410 --> 00:13:21,030 oh yeah, Bitcoin is too inefficient because the block size is too small. 285 00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:22,780 So we have to make it more efficient. 286 00:13:22,780 --> 00:13:25,569 But if you're just looking from a technical side, without 287 00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:27,990 like the economic background. 288 00:13:28,490 --> 00:13:31,560 Then it looks like, okay, Bitcoin is not, not so good. 289 00:13:31,820 --> 00:13:37,300 And you have to combine everything and you have to really gain this holistic view. 290 00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:39,410 And this is not taught in school. 291 00:13:39,550 --> 00:13:44,020 And therefore Bitcoin is not just like a money saving tool where you can save 292 00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:45,729 your money, your time, your energy. 293 00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:50,130 It's also like a tool to gain like human, human capital. 294 00:13:50,180 --> 00:13:53,360 So get more wise, more, more. 295 00:13:53,595 --> 00:13:53,965 Yeah. 296 00:13:54,055 --> 00:13:54,925 More information. 297 00:13:55,615 --> 00:13:56,005 Exactly. 298 00:13:56,365 --> 00:13:56,665 Exactly. 299 00:13:56,665 --> 00:14:01,125 And you even can get like, like you say, it's like a spiritual thing 300 00:14:01,125 --> 00:14:06,225 because it helps you like awaken because on the one hand you have like more 301 00:14:06,245 --> 00:14:09,824 time for yourself because you're not so much in the fiat matrix anymore. 302 00:14:09,955 --> 00:14:14,254 On the other time it helps you with this holistic view and this holistic view. 303 00:14:14,475 --> 00:14:19,705 This is like what unwields like your spiritual power, your consciousness. 304 00:14:20,134 --> 00:14:22,615 And this is like also the thing, because you said like. 305 00:14:23,145 --> 00:14:27,835 Bitcoin is like a base layer, and I would totally agree Bitcoin is absolutely a base 306 00:14:27,835 --> 00:14:33,234 layer, but even beyond the base layer of money, because money probably is the base 307 00:14:33,234 --> 00:14:37,994 layer for society, but there is also like your consciousness and your consciousness 308 00:14:38,035 --> 00:14:39,814 is the base layer for the universe. 309 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,040 There is always this speech like Bitcoin fixes this and Bitcoin fixes a lot of 310 00:14:46,050 --> 00:14:50,539 things, but if your consciousness is not fixed, if your base layer of the 311 00:14:50,540 --> 00:14:55,719 universe is not fixed, then nothing is fixed, but Bitcoin can help you to 312 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,879 fix also your consciousness because you have more time and then you can 313 00:14:58,879 --> 00:15:02,794 probably meditate or can go in the garden and the forest and you can meditate. 314 00:15:02,935 --> 00:15:04,354 Yeah, have more time for yourself. 315 00:15:04,865 --> 00:15:06,255 Yeah, there's, there's a lot of talk 316 00:15:06,265 --> 00:15:10,235 about finding the signal in the noise, but, uh, one of my latest 317 00:15:10,245 --> 00:15:16,204 thoughts around this subject is that Bitcoin is not the signal, like it's 318 00:15:16,214 --> 00:15:22,405 not, uh, but it is the greatest tool for noise removal ever invented. 319 00:15:22,525 --> 00:15:26,885 Um, that, so, so it removes a lot of layers of noise, like 320 00:15:26,905 --> 00:15:29,265 political noise, uh, you. 321 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:36,420 Your brain being, uh, wired to, to focus on hamster wheelie things and giving away 322 00:15:36,420 --> 00:15:42,690 all your time and, and doing stuff because you think you need to do stuff that 323 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:47,209 you think you need to do that you never really needed to do in the first place. 324 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,979 So, so to me, I see it as a. 325 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,940 Tool for removing the noise from your life. 326 00:15:53,050 --> 00:15:59,630 So you can, you can go out on an adventure to try to find the meaning 327 00:15:59,630 --> 00:16:02,600 of your life, because I think the meaning of life is subjective. 328 00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:04,109 It's totally subjective. 329 00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:06,190 It's up to each and every one of us to find. 330 00:16:06,915 --> 00:16:07,935 Our own signal. 331 00:16:07,975 --> 00:16:10,814 And, uh, yeah, that's the way I view that. 332 00:16:10,854 --> 00:16:15,275 And you alluded to the left and the right hemisphere of the 333 00:16:15,275 --> 00:16:17,985 brain, and I think I figured out 334 00:16:18,015 --> 00:16:18,685 how a politician's 335 00:16:19,095 --> 00:16:24,375 brain works, and it works exactly like politics, like the political scale. 336 00:16:24,885 --> 00:16:29,635 Uh, the left side isn't right and the right, there's no right left. 337 00:16:31,205 --> 00:16:31,465 Yes. 338 00:16:31,475 --> 00:16:31,545 Yes. 339 00:16:31,985 --> 00:16:32,175 Probably. 340 00:16:32,755 --> 00:16:32,955 Probably. 341 00:16:32,955 --> 00:16:33,245 Yes. 342 00:16:33,345 --> 00:16:33,615 Yeah. 343 00:16:34,305 --> 00:16:34,474 Yeah. 344 00:16:34,474 --> 00:16:39,645 Because nowadays it's really the challenge is not to go and see like 345 00:16:39,655 --> 00:16:41,384 all the news and all the information. 346 00:16:41,384 --> 00:16:43,814 It's more like about noise canceling. 347 00:16:43,874 --> 00:16:47,364 So just like noise canceling earphones, because there is so 348 00:16:47,364 --> 00:16:49,305 much noise and so much distraction. 349 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,620 And so it's really about focus. 350 00:16:52,110 --> 00:16:57,640 And this you've been speaking about the meaning of life and I mean, therefore 351 00:16:57,650 --> 00:17:01,140 also lots of people are depressed because they are not connected to 352 00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:04,799 their inner source anymore because they are just like in the outside world. 353 00:17:04,849 --> 00:17:08,429 So the TV, the news, and it's so much bling bling everywhere. 354 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,639 And so. 355 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,440 The consciousness is like on the surface. 356 00:17:13,490 --> 00:17:14,980 It's like really distracted. 357 00:17:14,990 --> 00:17:18,639 It's just like on the sea, like on the, on the surface, there is like waves 358 00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:21,109 and like lots of things and it's windy. 359 00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:24,349 But then if you go like deeper, deeper, deeper, then you will see. 360 00:17:24,579 --> 00:17:26,520 Also, this is like how your consciousness works. 361 00:17:26,849 --> 00:17:30,509 If you go deeper, you will see you've always been silent in your mind. 362 00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:36,320 There was always like Peace and, love, but your consciousness was always on 363 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,159 the surface and if you can focus like and let go of all this distraction and 364 00:17:41,179 --> 00:17:46,490 just focus and look within and then you will see there is always and there is 365 00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:50,830 peace and there was always peace and this is like what you are and not like 366 00:17:50,830 --> 00:17:55,120 the distraction, which is like in the TV and what is what I tell about you. 367 00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:59,069 but you need time to realize this. 368 00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,510 If you're like just running, running, running in the Fiat. 369 00:18:02,270 --> 00:18:07,530 Metrics and having to do like three or five jobs to just keep 370 00:18:07,540 --> 00:18:11,559 on with inflation, then you will never come to this realization. 371 00:18:11,889 --> 00:18:15,399 So yeah, Bitcoin can be like a spiritual tool. 372 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:21,180 I mean, Bitcoin fixes not everything, but Bitcoin really is for me a spiritual 373 00:18:21,180 --> 00:18:23,250 tool because it's like some type of. 374 00:18:23,650 --> 00:18:26,280 Yeah, I'll just say it's like a mantra for me. 375 00:18:26,790 --> 00:18:30,410 Alright, you might have noticed that we've recently partnered with AmberApp. 376 00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:35,030 After our episode with Izzy, their CEO, and our close friend, we knew we 377 00:18:35,030 --> 00:18:38,435

that I, 409 00:20:14,023 --> 00:20:16,123 I, uh, repeat over and over again. 410 00:20:16,123 --> 00:20:21,243 And, uh, that which you can do without you own, which is the flip side of 411 00:20:21,243 --> 00:20:23,423 your things and ending up owning you. 412 00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:27,183 So, uh, and with deflationary money. 413 00:20:27,593 --> 00:20:32,043 Uh, of which there can only be one, by the way, by the very nature of deflation. 414 00:20:32,483 --> 00:20:39,643 Uh, the, the urge to spend, uh, goes down and the urge to save, uh, goes up. 415 00:20:40,363 --> 00:20:46,453 So you adopt a lower time preference and you don't crave as many things, stuff. 416 00:20:46,523 --> 00:20:52,833 So, so, so money starts working for your inner self, uh, in, in figuring out. 417 00:20:53,448 --> 00:21:00,338 That's, uh, it's a great tool for making human interactions more, uh, efficient and 418 00:21:00,348 --> 00:21:08,698 more smooth, uh, but it's not really for chasing Lamborghinis and yachts and stuff. 419 00:21:08,738 --> 00:21:15,928 That's, uh, it's, we can get to, uh, a place of, you know, more, 420 00:21:16,728 --> 00:21:20,088 uh, well, Buddhist y or, uh, stoic. 421 00:21:20,733 --> 00:21:25,723 Kind of, uh, existence where, where we realize that we don't need stuff 422 00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:30,423 as long because we have this protocol running in the back of our heads that 423 00:21:30,423 --> 00:21:36,463 allow us to, you know, be at peace with, with our being, rather than to 424 00:21:36,463 --> 00:21:42,613 run in various hamsters wheels and rat races to, in order to accumulate stuff. 425 00:21:42,808 --> 00:21:47,038 Stuff faster and faster every year, which is what every state is trying to do. 426 00:21:47,038 --> 00:21:52,258 Like if, if, uh, GDP needs to go up every year, that means, okay, we want these 427 00:21:52,338 --> 00:21:55,558 ants to run around and catch more stuff. 428 00:21:56,298 --> 00:22:03,668 And, uh, you know, you always refer to your, to stuff as your stuff. 429 00:22:03,863 --> 00:22:05,873 But when it's other people's stuff, it's shit. 430 00:22:05,993 --> 00:22:07,713 Like your shit, my stuff. 431 00:22:08,053 --> 00:22:12,693 Uh, and the, the thing Bitcoin allows you to do is to realize that 432 00:22:12,693 --> 00:22:15,243 your shit is all really shit too. 433 00:22:15,243 --> 00:22:17,653 And it's not stuff at all. 434 00:22:17,653 --> 00:22:18,143 It's just 435 00:22:18,993 --> 00:22:19,883 hindering you. 436 00:22:20,193 --> 00:22:22,763 Yes, because life actually is pretty simple. 437 00:22:22,763 --> 00:22:25,998 And like this, there is always this big illusion where the thing, like, 438 00:22:25,998 --> 00:22:28,793 if you achieve some goals or if you... 439 00:22:29,133 --> 00:22:32,823 If you gain like some, yeah, some things like some physical 440 00:22:32,833 --> 00:22:34,123 things, then you're all happier. 441 00:22:34,393 --> 00:22:37,253 But the happiness is not like in the outside world. 442 00:22:37,323 --> 00:22:41,873 So you're achieving like, okay, if I have the yacht, if I have the Lamborghini, 443 00:22:41,873 --> 00:22:44,513 if I have the Porsche, then I'm happy. 444 00:22:44,513 --> 00:22:49,703 And the problem is if you have in the big car, then your ego wants always more. 445 00:22:49,743 --> 00:22:52,273 So first you want the car, then you want the plane, then you want the 446 00:22:52,273 --> 00:22:57,263 country, and then you want like the whole universe and your mind is totally. 447 00:22:57,798 --> 00:22:58,988 I'm freaking you out. 448 00:22:58,998 --> 00:23:01,398 And this is like, this is like the ego part of yourself. 449 00:23:01,608 --> 00:23:03,878 Who's telling more, more, more, more, more. 450 00:23:03,898 --> 00:23:05,948 And then also comes this greed thing. 451 00:23:06,208 --> 00:23:10,508 And actually this is like, just, just like the monkey brain within you. 452 00:23:10,608 --> 00:23:16,038 And you now have to differentiate and see like, okay, this is the monkey inside me. 453 00:23:16,428 --> 00:23:21,378 But there is also like this clear part of me who can see through this illusion. 454 00:23:21,718 --> 00:23:26,558 Probably you can tell, say this is your spiritual being or whatever name you give 455 00:23:26,558 --> 00:23:28,788 it, who can see through this illusion. 456 00:23:28,798 --> 00:23:33,588 And the next part is also like what people are really good about, or this 457 00:23:33,588 --> 00:23:38,358 is like also the reason why people, why they suffer is because they blame 458 00:23:38,358 --> 00:23:40,358 two things, which by their nature. 459 00:23:40,668 --> 00:23:44,388 Are and impermanent because everything is impermanent. 460 00:23:44,388 --> 00:23:47,328 So this house, we are sitting here something, everything is story. 461 00:23:47,328 --> 00:23:49,098 Someday it will be rotten. 462 00:23:49,338 --> 00:23:51,798 Your even your body will die at some point. 463 00:23:51,828 --> 00:23:51,888 Yeah. 464 00:23:51,888 --> 00:23:54,588 So your, even your thoughts, your emotions. 465 00:23:54,588 --> 00:23:57,108 At some point they will be gone ideals, some at some 466 00:23:57,113 --> 00:23:58,338 point, maybe they will be gone. 467 00:23:58,338 --> 00:23:59,658 So everything is impermanent. 468 00:24:00,138 --> 00:24:04,438 And people are clinging or attaching to things which are 469 00:24:04,438 --> 00:24:05,968 by their nature impermanent. 470 00:24:06,148 --> 00:24:08,638 And this is suffering by default. 471 00:24:08,688 --> 00:24:11,778 So it's almost guaranteed that you have to suffer. 472 00:24:11,778 --> 00:24:15,968 So being in a state of detachment is really like freedom because 473 00:24:16,008 --> 00:24:17,968 this is for, for lots of people. 474 00:24:17,978 --> 00:24:21,908 Freedom is like, okay, if I can do whatever I want and nobody 475 00:24:21,908 --> 00:24:24,288 tells me what I can do, what I. 476 00:24:24,713 --> 00:24:28,333 Can or cannot do, but for me, freedom is like really a state where 477 00:24:28,333 --> 00:24:34,313 you are in detachment of physical or of everything, which is like 478 00:24:34,623 --> 00:24:36,213 broadcasted in your consciousness. 479 00:24:36,483 --> 00:24:38,033 So also thoughts, emotions. 480 00:24:38,033 --> 00:24:42,843 And if you can really look through this illusion and be in this detached 481 00:24:42,863 --> 00:24:44,543 state, then you are really free. 482 00:24:44,543 --> 00:24:46,703 And then you're also free of suffering because. 483 00:24:47,168 --> 00:24:50,658 Then you realize, okay, at some point, probably this body will 484 00:24:50,658 --> 00:24:52,278 gone, but I'm not attached to it. 485 00:24:52,338 --> 00:24:55,718 So I can handle it better than when I'm totally attached to it. 486 00:24:55,718 --> 00:24:56,828 And then probably I'm dying. 487 00:24:56,828 --> 00:25:01,428 And then I'm really, really, yeah, it's really a painful process. 488 00:25:01,816 --> 00:25:04,016 The show is also sponsored by Orange Pill App, 489 00:25:04,110 --> 00:25:07,440 the Bitcoin only social network where you can stack friends who stack sats.

00:26:58,352 --> 00:27:04,272 did that idea evolve into making it into this hub of, Bitcoiners? 530 00:27:04,762 --> 00:27:05,152 how did that 531 00:27:05,172 --> 00:27:05,752 happen? 532 00:27:06,102 --> 00:27:08,232 I could ask you a question. 533 00:27:08,502 --> 00:27:13,552 So what would you do if you're born into like a hotel 534 00:27:13,582 --> 00:27:15,262 family and you're a bitcoiner? 535 00:27:15,312 --> 00:27:15,592 Yeah. 536 00:27:15,972 --> 00:27:17,282 What, would you do? 537 00:27:17,332 --> 00:27:19,102 Because actually, it's. 538 00:27:20,112 --> 00:27:24,432 pretty obvious if you're born into a hotel family, if you're a bitcoiner, then it's 539 00:27:24,452 --> 00:27:26,202 obvious that you connect both things. 540 00:27:26,512 --> 00:27:27,902 And actually it's a no brainer. 541 00:27:28,402 --> 00:27:28,632 Yeah. 542 00:27:28,632 --> 00:27:28,842 Yeah. 543 00:27:29,032 --> 00:27:30,892 I would probably 544 00:27:30,912 --> 00:27:33,422 be Basil Fawlty just telling the guests to fuck 545 00:27:33,422 --> 00:27:34,142 off all the time. 546 00:27:34,152 --> 00:27:34,772 So yeah. 547 00:27:34,942 --> 00:27:35,142 Yeah. 548 00:27:35,412 --> 00:27:35,662 Yeah. 549 00:27:35,942 --> 00:27:39,222 But in the end, everyone has his form of expression. 550 00:27:39,292 --> 00:27:40,702 Some guys are writing books. 551 00:27:40,762 --> 00:27:42,522 Some guys are doing movies. 552 00:27:42,522 --> 00:27:43,592 Some guys are doing. 553 00:27:44,212 --> 00:27:45,792 Videos, podcasts or whatever. 554 00:27:46,022 --> 00:27:51,672 And for me, I thought, okay, this is like an authentic way to express 555 00:27:51,672 --> 00:27:55,582 myself and also like for our family, because it's not just me. 556 00:27:55,582 --> 00:27:56,992 It's also like a family business. 557 00:27:57,002 --> 00:28:00,792 So my mother, my sister, we are like good people working here. 558 00:28:01,572 --> 00:28:03,212 So it's not like a one man show. 559 00:28:03,582 --> 00:28:09,657 And yeah, this is just like, because Oftentimes people, they want to do 560 00:28:09,657 --> 00:28:12,217 something with Bitcoin, they want to work in a Bitcoin company and 561 00:28:12,217 --> 00:28:15,757 then are thinking, Oh, do I have to start programming or what can I do? 562 00:28:15,937 --> 00:28:21,137 And actually it's pretty obvious because everyone has some skills and you just have 563 00:28:21,147 --> 00:28:23,167 to look within what can I do really good? 564 00:28:23,237 --> 00:28:24,527 For example, I can sing. 565 00:28:24,797 --> 00:28:28,227 And then you just combine singing with Bitcoin and then you have your Bitcoin 566 00:28:28,227 --> 00:28:32,777 shop and it's really easy, but oftentimes the things which are really easy for 567 00:28:32,777 --> 00:28:34,577 us, we can't see it by ourselves. 568 00:28:34,607 --> 00:28:38,187 So the people around us, they can see, Oh, Knut is a really good piano player, 569 00:28:38,397 --> 00:28:42,417 but for you, it's so normal that you don't realize you're a good piano player 570 00:28:42,417 --> 00:28:44,137 because for you, it's just normal. 571 00:28:44,497 --> 00:28:49,347 So it's really like being aware of what you can do well and what you can 572 00:28:49,357 --> 00:28:52,637 probably do not so good and combining this with Bitcoin and actually 573 00:28:52,657 --> 00:28:54,107 everything is in front of your. 574 00:28:54,747 --> 00:28:58,872 eyes You just have to be able to realize that everything is already there. 575 00:28:59,012 --> 00:28:59,602 It's about 576 00:29:00,052 --> 00:29:01,522 finding your Ikigai. 577 00:29:01,592 --> 00:29:03,452 Are you familiar with a Japanese 578 00:29:03,452 --> 00:29:05,352 Venn diagram of your, you know? 579 00:29:05,392 --> 00:29:08,442 Yes, but it's not about finding, because if you're looking 580 00:29:08,442 --> 00:29:10,762 and if you try to find it. 581 00:29:11,137 --> 00:29:12,157 Then you will not find it. 582 00:29:12,157 --> 00:29:14,167 You'll never find it it's just like creativity. 583 00:29:14,167 --> 00:29:16,717 If you try to be creative, it won't work. 584 00:29:16,717 --> 00:29:19,387 No, but creativity is always there. 585 00:29:19,417 --> 00:29:20,797 You just have to be yourself. 586 00:29:20,797 --> 00:29:22,087 You just have to let go. 587 00:29:22,147 --> 00:29:22,237 Yeah. 588 00:29:22,297 --> 00:29:24,907 And then you will automatically be your iga. 589 00:29:24,907 --> 00:29:26,857 You will automatically be creative. 590 00:29:27,037 --> 00:29:27,187 Yeah. 591 00:29:27,187 --> 00:29:31,837 So it's just about being authentic, about being your true self and not 592 00:29:31,837 --> 00:29:34,927 about finding, because the more you search, the more you look for it. 593 00:29:35,367 --> 00:29:38,877 The more you lose it, and this is probably, maybe this is like in quantum 594 00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:43,407 physics, there is also like this, um, a quantum state where something 595 00:29:43,407 --> 00:29:46,737 is always there, but as soon as you look there, it's not there anymore. 596 00:29:46,977 --> 00:29:47,317 Yeah. 597 00:29:47,977 --> 00:29:49,947 It figures out where it actually is. 598 00:29:50,277 --> 00:29:55,967 But so, yeah, this is, uh, this is so true. 599 00:29:56,007 --> 00:30:02,102 And like, uh, I tweeted this morning that I, uh, Uh, I absolutely love 600 00:30:02,112 --> 00:30:06,132 my job, but I haven't figured out exactly what my job is. 601 00:30:07,342 --> 00:30:11,592 So, so, but I think that's why I love it because it's the journey that I love. 602 00:30:12,492 --> 00:30:14,512 Figure out like, oh, I can do this. 603 00:30:14,682 --> 00:30:19,272 Oh, I have this skill and like, I can connect this dot here with that dot here. 604 00:30:19,272 --> 00:30:21,612 And, uh, all of a sudden it works. 605 00:30:21,612 --> 00:30:25,222 And it's like our friend Izzy says, like, uh, focus, just focus 606 00:30:25,222 --> 00:30:26,372 on the orange glowing lights. 607 00:30:27,032 --> 00:30:27,982 That will lead you the way. 608 00:30:28,232 --> 00:30:28,392 Yes. 609 00:30:28,442 --> 00:30:33,652 Also, also even the concept of having a job is like, not so cool for me 610 00:30:33,652 --> 00:30:37,782 because if you have a job, it's almost implemented that you don't like the job. 611 00:30:37,782 --> 00:30:40,212 So you're switching like money for work. 612 00:30:40,222 --> 00:30:41,052 Yes, exactly. 613 00:30:41,252 --> 00:30:41,612 Exactly. 614 00:30:41,902 --> 00:30:42,932 So, and actually. 615 00:30:43,157 --> 00:30:44,617 So life is really nothing hard. 616 00:30:44,617 --> 00:30:49,287 It's actually something that is really actually easy or something 617 00:30:49,287 --> 00:30:53,117 like the universe is working for you and not like you have to hustle 618 00:30:53,117 --> 00:30:54,717 and do everything really hard. 619 00:30:54,717 --> 00:30:58,047 But the thing is, if you're not connected to your inner source or if you're not 620 00:30:58,057 --> 00:31:02,077 like synchronized, it's like probably just like in the music, if the waves, 621 00:31:02,127 --> 00:31:06,267 if you're not like synchronized to the right frequency and you're in 622 00:31:06,267 --> 00:31:10,627 disharmony, then everything feels hard and it feels, Oh, I have to work. 623 00:31:11,072 --> 00:31:14,172 I'm not getting any money, but really, actually, if you like in this 624 00:31:14,172 --> 00:31:17,852 flow and if you like connected to nature, to this universe, connected 625 00:31:17,882 --> 00:31:21,712 to yourself, connected to the people around you, then it's really more like 626 00:31:21,712 --> 00:31:23,922 a flow or more like something easy. 627 00:31:24,142 --> 00:31:25,812 And yeah, life is not hard. 628 00:31:25,812 --> 00:31:29,552 And this is also what lots of people have in their mind because they have 629 00:31:29,552 --> 00:31:33,442 like the mindset Life is hard and I have to work and oh, everything is 630 00:31:33,682 --> 00:31:35,452 stupid and everything is just shitty. 631 00:31:35,722 --> 00:31:39,802 But if you believe in this, then this is your reality because you really 632 00:31:39,802 --> 00:31:45,732 like the creator in my opinion of your reality and you like the boss 633 00:31:45,822 --> 00:31:48,012 or whatever you want to call it. 634 00:31:48,472 --> 00:31:52,172 And you can create whatever you want. 635 00:31:52,332 --> 00:31:56,972 And it's not like that you're like thrown in this shitty world. 636 00:31:57,172 --> 00:31:59,172 You are, you created the shitty world. 637 00:31:59,362 --> 00:32:03,842 And also you can create a nice world and it's just up to you, but lots of people, 638 00:32:03,842 --> 00:32:06,732 they are creating the shitty world on a subconscious level because they are 639 00:32:06,752 --> 00:32:07,862 not aware of their subconsciousness. 640 00:32:08,652 --> 00:32:08,912 No. 641 00:32:08,932 --> 00:32:09,732 And this is why. 642 00:32:10,487 --> 00:32:14,187 Time for yourself and solitude and stuff like this is so important because 643 00:32:14,217 --> 00:32:18,107 then you can really see what's going up in this monkey brain and then you can 644 00:32:18,337 --> 00:32:22,597 start to transform your subconscious mind and out of your subconscious 645 00:32:22,597 --> 00:32:27,487 mind, you're almost like creating this, what people call reality. 646 00:32:27,627 --> 00:32:27,867 Yeah, 647 00:32:27,867 --> 00:32:28,147 yeah. 648 00:32:28,257 --> 00:32:33,337 And, uh, the fiat rat races that we are forced into is what 649 00:32:33,397 --> 00:32:35,707 distorts our ability to do that. 650 00:32:35,727 --> 00:32:37,527 I think that what hinders us from just. 651 00:32:38,397 --> 00:32:43,957 From just being ourselves every day and making that work, like, there's 652 00:32:43,957 --> 00:32:47,847 no greater feeling than to wake up every morning and just be yourself all 653 00:32:47,847 --> 00:32:52,767 day, and it works, like, it doesn't feel like working, it doesn't feel 654 00:32:52,767 --> 00:33:00,102 like, it just feels like living, and somehow, if you do that, uh, it... 655 00:33:00,762 --> 00:33:06,432 With the sincerest of of intent, like if you're true to, really true to 656 00:33:06,432 --> 00:33:09,472 yourself, it will work if you have Bitcoin 657 00:33:10,432 --> 00:33:10,792 . Yes. 658 00:33:10,792 --> 00:33:11,452 Yes. 659 00:33:11,512 --> 00:33:15,472 I mean, yeah, Bitcoin is a tool, but also even if you have no 660 00:33:15,477 --> 00:33:18,832 Bitcoin in a fiat world, if you have the right mindset, yeah, yeah. 661 00:33:18,832 --> 00:33:22,372 If you have the MI mindset of a abundance, so if you have the mindset, 662 00:33:22,552 --> 00:33:24,562 I'm always getting more than I need. 663 00:33:24,822 --> 00:33:29,682 And I'm always like fulfilled and I'm always like satisfied in this type 664 00:33:29,682 --> 00:33:33,192 of mindset, even in a fiat shitty world, nothing will happen to you 665 00:33:33,192 --> 00:33:34,732 and you will always be in abundance. 666 00:33:35,122 --> 00:33:38,182 And on the other hand, if you have Bitcoin and the best type of 667 00:33:38,182 --> 00:33:41,752 money and your mindset is stupid, then everything will be shitty. 668 00:33:41,752 --> 00:33:45,472 But Bitcoin can be a tool to help you to reach this type of mindset. 669 00:33:45,822 --> 00:33:48,432 But also like if you're like in a good state. 670 00:33:49,012 --> 00:33:52,622 Also, without Bitcoin, you can be happy and you can be like successful 671 00:33:52,622 --> 00:33:54,532 and you have, can have a good life. 672 00:33:54,582 --> 00:34:00,702 So Bitcoin is not like the ultimate tool, but it's like a very, very good tool. 673 00:34:00,732 --> 00:34:04,852 But also without Bitcoin, you can really thrive and have a good life. 674 00:34:04,972 --> 00:34:05,712 Absolutely. 675 00:34:05,872 --> 00:34:11,952 Um, I know you went on a long meditational retreat and even lived in a forest. 676 00:34:12,172 --> 00:34:15,512 for a while, like on berries and, um, mushrooms and stuff. 677 00:34:15,892 --> 00:34:20,532 And, uh, that, like, I guess that was your spiritual journey. 678 00:34:20,532 --> 00:34:23,712 Like just to find, find the meaning of your life, 679 00:34:23,712 --> 00:34:24,022 I guess. 680 00:34:24,232 --> 00:34:25,022 Yes, sure. 681 00:34:25,042 --> 00:34:28,252 Because, and before I did this, I was like DJing. 682 00:34:28,262 --> 00:34:31,732 So I was like, I'm playing in clubs and I'm fast DJing. 683 00:34:31,732 --> 00:34:32,852 Yes, yes, yes. 684 00:34:32,922 --> 00:34:34,682 And I mean, this was an awesome time. 685 00:34:34,972 --> 00:34:38,852 But I realized what I'm doing here is satisfying my ego. 686 00:34:39,282 --> 00:34:43,022 So I was just like fulfilling my ego and everyone was like, Oh, Mark, so cool. 687 00:34:43,022 --> 00:34:43,272 Yeah. 688 00:34:43,272 --> 00:34:44,142 Party, party. 689 00:34:44,142 --> 00:34:46,472 And, and this really satisfied my ego. 690 00:34:46,472 --> 00:34:51,402 But within I felt there, there was, there was like emptiness. 691 00:34:52,122 --> 00:34:55,302 And then I realized, wow, life is so simple. 692 00:34:55,302 --> 00:34:59,592 And what fills me with, from within, it's like really simple things. 693 00:34:59,612 --> 00:35:04,082 Go in the forest, have some time for yourself, make a walk in the nature, 694 00:35:04,152 --> 00:35:06,992 go barefoot or Do a little meditation. 695 00:35:07,082 --> 00:35:07,232 Yeah. 696 00:35:07,232 --> 00:35:10,652 And eat good foods and have like good R routines. 697 00:35:10,652 --> 00:35:13,262 So good, good daily routines, for example. 698 00:35:13,262 --> 00:35:14,132 Um, yeah. 699 00:35:14,312 --> 00:35:18,662 And don't have like bad habits, for example, like, um, uh, drinking 700 00:35:18,662 --> 00:35:22,382 lots of alcohol or going to parties with people and like doing 701 00:35:22,387 --> 00:35:24,152 lots of drug things or whatever. 702 00:35:24,392 --> 00:35:27,062 So I realized really like this minimalism. 703 00:35:27,457 --> 00:35:29,127 And this was even before Bitcoin. 704 00:35:29,147 --> 00:35:32,857 So I really had like this low time preference even before Bitcoin. 705 00:35:32,857 --> 00:35:37,377 And I don't do this because I wanted to starve myself or something like that. 706 00:35:37,377 --> 00:35:40,637 I did this to actually upgrade my life. 707 00:35:40,677 --> 00:35:46,407 So from the outside, it looks like I'm a really minimalistic guy, but 708 00:35:46,417 --> 00:35:50,237 actually I'm not a minimalistic guy because I'm actually a maximalistic 709 00:35:50,247 --> 00:35:56,017 guy because you need minimalism for maximum type of happiness. 710 00:35:56,677 --> 00:36:03,527 Because like really minimalism, exactly, exactly, because life really is so, so 711 00:36:03,567 --> 00:36:06,337 simple and you really need so few things. 712 00:36:06,747 --> 00:36:10,887 And I mean, it's all right if you have like a big car or like 713 00:36:11,127 --> 00:36:15,607 if you do like crazy things, but you always have to be careful to 714 00:36:15,607 --> 00:36:17,037 not be attached to those things. 715 00:36:17,067 --> 00:36:19,387 If you do this without attachment, it's not a problem. 716 00:36:19,837 --> 00:36:23,287 But oftentimes people, they say, ah, no, no, I'm not attached. 717 00:36:23,287 --> 00:36:28,517 And then the big car gets broken and then they cry because they were attached. 718 00:36:28,977 --> 00:36:32,707 And this is like the tricky thing where you have to be careful. 719 00:36:32,797 --> 00:36:33,737 You can do everything. 720 00:36:33,737 --> 00:36:38,377 You can make parties, you can go to clubs, everything, but you have to be careful 721 00:36:38,487 --> 00:36:39,957 to not be attached to those things. 722 00:36:39,977 --> 00:36:42,897 And oftentimes people get attached pretty quickly. 723 00:36:42,917 --> 00:36:43,157 Yeah. 724 00:36:43,187 --> 00:36:45,747 And this is like always what you have to train because. 725 00:36:46,232 --> 00:36:48,522 Always every day you have to start again. 726 00:36:48,562 --> 00:36:52,742 So if you were like in a retreat and have now this nice mindset, it helps 727 00:36:52,802 --> 00:36:56,992 you nothing for today because every day you have to start from zero and 728 00:36:57,022 --> 00:37:00,712 every day begins from, from scratch, not just every day, every moment and 729 00:37:00,722 --> 00:37:03,962 every moment you have to try to be yourself and not be distracted by 730 00:37:03,972 --> 00:37:05,792 the noise and focus on the signal. 731 00:37:06,242 --> 00:37:07,092 And this is like a. 732 00:37:07,632 --> 00:37:12,452 Lifelong meditation or focus or whatever you want to name it. 733 00:37:12,842 --> 00:37:13,202 Yeah. 734 00:37:13,622 --> 00:37:14,112 For me, 735 00:37:14,142 --> 00:37:20,502 like, uh, I, I've been close to death a couple of times in my life, mostly on, 736 00:37:20,832 --> 00:37:28,062 on ships in storms, hurricanes, and, uh, really, uh, had to think through like, 737 00:37:28,152 --> 00:37:35,362 uh, what am I doing with my life and realizing how, how limit, what a limited 738 00:37:35,362 --> 00:37:37,382 amount of time we have on this earth. 739 00:37:37,382 --> 00:37:37,592 Yeah. 740 00:37:38,517 --> 00:37:40,877 And what you realize when you experience that is that. 741 00:37:42,022 --> 00:37:47,062 Each and every moment is your last chance to enjoy that specific moment. 742 00:37:47,552 --> 00:37:53,822 So if you're consumed by anxiety or you're irritated or you're angry or 743 00:37:54,352 --> 00:38:00,022 anything on the negative emotional spectrum, then that moment is lost forever 744 00:38:00,212 --> 00:38:02,632 and you lost a chance to enjoy life. 745 00:38:03,382 --> 00:38:03,662 Yes. 746 00:38:03,672 --> 00:38:06,102 So, uh, and also like. 747 00:38:08,467 --> 00:38:12,217 I came to a point in life where I was totally satisfied. 748 00:38:12,247 --> 00:38:20,277 I owned a toothbrush, a laptop, a guitar, and 10 t shirts, 10 pairs 749 00:38:20,277 --> 00:38:26,887 of underwear, and 10 pairs of socks, like, two pants and one pair of shoes. 750 00:38:27,687 --> 00:38:33,337 Uh, and I had just paid off my student loan, so I was free as like a very, 751 00:38:33,337 --> 00:38:35,077 very satisfying state to be in. 752 00:38:35,577 --> 00:38:40,117 Two weeks later, I met my wife and I started a family, you know, 753 00:38:40,387 --> 00:38:42,137 back to another type of rat race. 754 00:38:42,197 --> 00:38:48,037 And then you need stuff again, but, uh, um, but I mean, there's really 755 00:38:48,077 --> 00:38:56,567 something to find there in, in figuring out that not needing stuff is a key to, 756 00:38:58,017 --> 00:38:58,747 to abundance, 757 00:38:59,117 --> 00:38:59,597 to. 758 00:39:01,282 --> 00:39:06,912 To freeing your mind and being able to become what you 759 00:39:06,912 --> 00:39:09,562 were always supposed to be. 760 00:39:09,572 --> 00:39:17,382 There's a David Bowie quote about that, like, getting older is just the process of 761 00:39:17,412 --> 00:39:19,602 becoming who you were always meant to be. 762 00:39:20,617 --> 00:39:23,037 And I think that's, that's true for a 763 00:39:23,857 --> 00:39:24,897 life well lived. 764 00:39:24,967 --> 00:39:25,207 Yes. 765 00:39:25,217 --> 00:39:28,167 But just if you're like connected to your inner self, because 766 00:39:28,197 --> 00:39:29,747 just getting older and like 767 00:39:30,697 --> 00:39:32,427 having anything, no, that doesn't work. 768 00:39:32,687 --> 00:39:36,027 It only works if you actively work on improving 769 00:39:36,027 --> 00:39:36,317 yourself. 770 00:39:36,347 --> 00:39:39,617 And because there's also like the speaking of time heals everything, 771 00:39:39,617 --> 00:39:41,067 because this is also not true. 772 00:39:41,927 --> 00:39:43,557 If you're just like doing the same. 773 00:39:44,112 --> 00:39:45,432 Stupid things every day. 774 00:39:45,432 --> 00:39:47,292 Again, time will help nothing. 775 00:39:47,292 --> 00:39:49,972 I mean, you will just get more sick and more sick and 776 00:39:49,982 --> 00:39:51,652 time is not healing anything. 777 00:39:51,792 --> 00:39:57,202 So it's like the dedication to like a meaningful life and being 778 00:39:57,202 --> 00:40:00,842 focused in the here and now this is what heals and what helps and 779 00:40:00,842 --> 00:40:02,992 what makes you successful or happy. 780 00:40:03,232 --> 00:40:08,852 Because also it's just like, it's so crazy because life is just in the here 781 00:40:08,852 --> 00:40:13,537 and now there is no future or Uh, past, this is just a concept in our mind. 782 00:40:13,617 --> 00:40:17,847 This is nothing you can go or no one was ever in the past. 783 00:40:18,237 --> 00:40:20,027 It's just the concept in our mind. 784 00:40:20,247 --> 00:40:25,137 And it's just like, because at some point we have to in this, like in this type of 785 00:40:25,137 --> 00:40:29,357 reality in this physical body, we have to experience it like in some linear way. 786 00:40:29,687 --> 00:40:33,587 So your mind makes up this linear journey where there's the past and the future, 787 00:40:33,857 --> 00:40:36,067 but this is really not like the key. 788 00:40:36,367 --> 00:40:38,747 So this is, it's, it's really like just distraction. 789 00:40:38,747 --> 00:40:42,527 There's just like the here and now, and also like just the here and 790 00:40:42,527 --> 00:40:43,887 now is where you have influence. 791 00:40:44,227 --> 00:40:48,087 So you're here and now with your physical body here, you can do something. 792 00:40:48,087 --> 00:40:50,207 For example, we can have a nice talk here. 793 00:40:50,672 --> 00:40:55,742 But it's almost irrelevant what happens in Afghanistan or Iraq. 794 00:40:55,742 --> 00:40:58,032 And most people, they are focused not in the here and now 795 00:40:58,032 --> 00:40:59,142 with their physical presence. 796 00:40:59,472 --> 00:41:03,382 So they are like in the TV and then there was a war there and this and that. 797 00:41:03,682 --> 00:41:06,832 And also they are not like in the here and now from the time 798 00:41:06,832 --> 00:41:08,282 perspective, they are in the future. 799 00:41:08,282 --> 00:41:10,312 And if you're in the future, you're always like frightened. 800 00:41:10,837 --> 00:41:12,487 So this is always to frighten people. 801 00:41:12,487 --> 00:41:13,777 They are scared about everything. 802 00:41:13,777 --> 00:41:17,167 Oh, world war and this and that and in the here and now. 803 00:41:17,167 --> 00:41:19,387 You, there is no, you are not scared. 804 00:41:19,417 --> 00:41:22,827 You're always like, there, there is no, no, no. 805 00:41:22,857 --> 00:41:23,247 Yeah. 806 00:41:23,427 --> 00:41:24,297 Anxiety. 807 00:41:24,507 --> 00:41:26,667 And the other people are the people who are in the past. 808 00:41:26,667 --> 00:41:27,777 They're always depressive. 809 00:41:27,807 --> 00:41:28,827 Oh, the good times. 810 00:41:28,827 --> 00:41:33,087 And oh, it was, it was so nice and And this is also the good old days. 811 00:41:33,117 --> 00:41:34,167 Yes, the good old days. 812 00:41:34,167 --> 00:41:35,547 And this is also distraction. 813 00:41:35,547 --> 00:41:36,987 There is no good old days. 814 00:41:37,317 --> 00:41:39,657 There is just the here and now, the good old days. 815 00:41:39,687 --> 00:41:40,227 This is just. 816 00:41:40,452 --> 00:41:43,652 Memory in your brain and you're attached to this memory and 817 00:41:43,652 --> 00:41:46,952 therefore you're suffering because the good old days are gone. 818 00:41:46,972 --> 00:41:47,492 They are gone. 819 00:41:47,502 --> 00:41:48,592 They are not here anymore. 820 00:41:48,632 --> 00:41:50,272 And you're thinking about them in 821 00:41:50,282 --> 00:41:50,862 the now. 822 00:41:50,922 --> 00:41:51,292 Yes. 823 00:41:51,452 --> 00:41:56,172 And also like the, the, the, also like you're thinking of the past is so, 824 00:41:56,502 --> 00:42:02,877 Emma, so, so messed up because The past, how you, how you realize the past 825 00:42:02,877 --> 00:42:07,307 is not how the past was, because for example, if you're in a happy state 826 00:42:07,307 --> 00:42:11,367 right now, then probably you will go back to the past and then you will say, 827 00:42:11,517 --> 00:42:13,367 Oh, my school time was really good. 828 00:42:13,577 --> 00:42:16,757 But if you're in a fucked up state right now and you go to the past, 829 00:42:16,757 --> 00:42:19,537 then the past will feel like, Oh, I had a horrible childhood. 830 00:42:19,837 --> 00:42:23,937 So the past, what you experience in your mind is not. 831 00:42:24,137 --> 00:42:25,847 What the reality is, no, no. 832 00:42:25,857 --> 00:42:26,767 Yeah, no. 833 00:42:26,767 --> 00:42:27,607 Yeah, exactly. 834 00:42:27,887 --> 00:42:29,977 And, uh, luckily for us, our, 835 00:42:30,027 --> 00:42:37,077 our brains, I mean, when we think about the future, we're biased to, uh, to see 836 00:42:37,077 --> 00:42:42,967 risks and, uh, you know, have negative, as you say, we're worried about the future. 837 00:42:43,457 --> 00:42:45,317 And, but when we think about the past. 838 00:42:46,172 --> 00:42:51,742 Uh, oftentimes we, uh, we forget the, the, the harder memories 839 00:42:51,742 --> 00:42:53,212 and we remember the good times. 840 00:42:53,792 --> 00:42:57,692 There's, there's like something there that it's, it's easier to remember 841 00:42:57,692 --> 00:43:00,482 good things and, uh, than bad ones. 842 00:43:01,482 --> 00:43:03,472 Anyway, Mark, thank you very much for this. 843 00:43:03,662 --> 00:43:06,832 I'm so grateful to be in this hotel and be a part of this. 844 00:43:06,962 --> 00:43:08,172 event of this community. 845 00:43:08,222 -->
