1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,760
What's going on?

2
00:00:03,660 --> 00:00:04,800
This is Rod Balmer.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,800
I prepared a brief statement for Bugle listeners today.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,820
Before I begin, a few acknowledgements.

5
00:00:17,860 --> 00:00:22,000
First, I believe Bitcoin is money.

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:22,620
Alright?

7
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:23,760
Okay?

8
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:25,660
We all do, retard.

9
00:00:25,660 --> 00:00:32,260
we're trolling you when we say that bitcoin is anything other than money

10
00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:41,240
all right we're for obviously we're trolling you we know that you know that what is ray bond

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:51,280
and hgx that got the blueberries hashtag we know we know if you don't know that we're trolling you

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,760
and we realize it,

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,420
we're the loss of respect viewer.

14
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:57,840
We're just bullying you because it's fun

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,940
and because it's easy.

16
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:05,440
Second, I believe spam is bad for Bitcoin.

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,140
Again, same situation as I just mentioned.

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,900
If you don't get it,

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,040
we don't have time to explain it.

20
00:01:15,260 --> 00:01:16,980
We're just going to treat you the way

21
00:01:16,980 --> 00:01:20,340
that you have demonstrated you deserve to be treated.

22
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:22,720
like pled cannon fodder.

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:31,340
And third, I believe the people loudly championing Bitcoin knots

24
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:38,480
often make valid, important points about resilience, attack surfaces,

25
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:41,780
and the long-term viability of Bitcoin.

26
00:01:42,220 --> 00:01:44,040
Those arguments matter.

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,060
The future of Bitcoin against motivated, self-interested actors is not a joke.

28
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:56,420
And I'll be the first to admit, Bitcoin Core has a culture problem.

29
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,320
It has a growing legitimacy problem.

30
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:04,300
The development process has flaws.

31
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:07,520
The funding process has flaws.

32
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:14,640
The incentives of some key core contributors are, at the very least, suspect.

33
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:23,160
And if CORE ever expects users to give it the benefit of the doubt again, changes are necessary.

34
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:35,160
I also want to acknowledge friends, colleagues, feds, and fellow podcasters on both sides of this node-client debate.

35
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:45,000
I count many communists and many Nazis as allies, peers, and partners in this weird ecosystem.

36
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:54,400
Hell, I'll even smoke a cigarette with a low-level Fed if he has the decency to take off his badge when he comes to the smoke pit.

37
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:02,180
Also, I'm not being paid by any actor with a stake in core or knots.

38
00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:05,560
aside from the tiny public boosts

39
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,700
you will get on fountain

40
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:09,600
which we even read them in each episode

41
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,820
for transparency

42
00:03:10,820 --> 00:03:12,860
for non-fountain users

43
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:16,740
and also those boosts are laughably small

44
00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:18,000
and wouldn't buy anyone

45
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,120
you know a coffee

46
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,980
much less my fucking opinion

47
00:03:20,980 --> 00:03:24,000
but let's be clear

48
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,940
can we

49
00:03:24,940 --> 00:03:27,500
can we be adults

50
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:29,900
can we cut the LARP

51
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:30,240
okay

52
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,820
Many Nazi influencers are bad actors.

53
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,020
Not all of them, but many.

54
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:48,020
There are countless plaids in everyday Bitcoiners who are caught up in this because they're worried and some are genuinely scared.

55
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,320
They are scared for Bitcoin.

56
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,180
They are scared for the security of their savings.

57
00:03:56,180 --> 00:04:03,800
they're scared of how the government the state might react to policies pushed by woke core

58
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:10,200
developers and they are woke some of them and they don't listen to bitcoin podcasts clearly

59
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:20,320
oh but that fear is real because the trust has been shredded across society people don't trust

60
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:28,400
neighbors, co-workers, or even their own family members. Republicans don't even trust Israel

61
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:35,620
anymore. Think about that for a second. Republicans, they don't even trust Israel anymore. Don't take

62
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:42,480
that for granted. It's not just a joke. This has serious ramifications. They don't trust the

63
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:48,420
institutions that used to be the scaffolding of civil life. Credentials are the glue.

64
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:54,540
Because we live in a low-trust society, and there's no going back. Shout out to Satoshi,

65
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,740
great foresight, by the way. You know, don't trust, verify, used to be a meme on Twitter,

66
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:07,480
and a catchphrase on podcast, still is. For a lot of people, it was rhetorical candy,

67
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:16,040
cute, performative, harmless. Well, it's not optional anymore. We cannot blindly trust anyone,

68
00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:27,140
not even Cordets. Bitcoin Core is not an exclusive cabal of C++ coders. Bitcoin Core is not Shinobi,

69
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:33,940
it's not Gloria, it's not Greg Maxwell, it's not Peter Weill, it's not Adam Back or Luke Jr.

70
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:35,700
standing alone at that altar.

71
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:38,420
Bitcoin Core is an institution,

72
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:40,560
like the education system,

73
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:42,280
like the healthcare system,

74
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:44,260
like the criminal justice system.

75
00:05:44,780 --> 00:05:46,160
It is a story,

76
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,420
a mental model people use to reach consensus.

77
00:05:51,060 --> 00:05:54,220
It's a process for resolving autistic,

78
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,360
pedantic, technical conflicts.

79
00:05:57,860 --> 00:05:59,780
And like many institutions,

80
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,200
and institutions in terminal decline

81
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:11,060
the coin core is taking a legitimacy hit as the bigger quote-unquote vibe shift plays out

82
00:06:11,060 --> 00:06:19,440
you know it we're in the what is it fourth turning whatever you want to call it at the end of the day

83
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:26,100
the story the end of the story has not been written it is uncertain and uncertainty makes

84
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:33,460
people fearful, and fear is a fertile ground. And the bad actors, mostly on the not side,

85
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:41,200
are harvesting that fear like it's crop season. And it's like, listen, those who have built their

86
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:48,520
reputations inside Bitcoin Core's institutional framework will fight tooth and nail to defend it.

87
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:55,400
That is predictable. I get it. But the hallmark of a frightened Nazi pled is this.

88
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,920
Fear of the state.

89
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:03,260
They believe Bitcoin Core can no longer shield them,

90
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,840
can no longer be trusted to shepherd this project for them.

91
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,280
So they are in search of a new priesthood to protect them.

92
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:15,480
Here's the rub.

93
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:21,560
Many Nazi influencers would rather pick fights with Bitcoiners than with the state

94
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,340
because it's a hell of a lot easier.

95
00:07:23,340 --> 00:07:32,280
they'd rather cash in on your fear than confront the real threat they want you scared because

96
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:40,280
they're selling solutions they're selling node hardware mining software premium newsletters

97
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:47,300
all kinds of content and if they're not taking your money directly they're still selling your

98
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:55,460
attention. Attention is a currency. It costs your time, your sats, and your anxiety. Bad actors are

99
00:07:55,460 --> 00:08:03,420
actively stoking that fear to gain influence over your mind and your ability to afford your taxes.

100
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:12,080
And a retard, you don't have to be afraid. You don't have to be dragged into their histrionics.

101
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,760
But you do have to take personal responsibility.

102
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,360
If you want protection, if you want the government to protect you, great.

103
00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:24,860
Keep using fiat.

104
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,420
Use stablecoins.

105
00:08:26,820 --> 00:08:28,000
Wait for the CBDC.

106
00:08:28,340 --> 00:08:29,620
Wait for Tether to roll out.

107
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:30,780
Let them tuck you in.

108
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:40,300
Bitcoin is about separating money from the state, not about running statist-approved nodes subscribing to their pedophile apparatus.

109
00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:49,740
Now you might be wondering, why should you listen to a pseudonymous podcaster who jokes about smoking cigarettes for breakfast?

110
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,580
The short answer is you shouldn't.

111
00:08:53,340 --> 00:08:56,640
You shouldn't listen to anyone who tells you what no drum.

112
00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:05,300
Don't take Luke, Shinobi, Mechanic, Dr. Adam Back, or any influencer at face value when they issue edicts.

113
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,780
Think for yourself.

114
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,320
If you think for yourself,

115
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,420
Shinobi calling you a retard stops having power.

116
00:09:18,580 --> 00:09:23,720
NVK saying your no doesn't matter, doesn't matter.

117
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:28,520
Matthew Cratter's fear campaign looks correctly

118
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,040
like a staged performance,

119
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,280
because that's exactly what it is.

120
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:37,880
And a word of practical advice.

121
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:46,280
Be extremely skeptical of anyone who encourages you to publicly identify as a node runner.

122
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:53,960
If you think child porn on your node is going to cost you peace of mind or attract government attention,

123
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:57,000
do not dox yourself and become an easy target.

124
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,720
Be skeptical of anyone who demands that you choose sides.

125
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,620
When people force you into public affiliation, ask,

126
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:05,880
Who benefits?

127
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:12,880
If someone's turning your fear into a product or a crusade, their interests probably don't align with yours.

128
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,660
The battle for Bitcoin is real and it is important.

129
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:24,060
But it is not decided by whether you run Core version 30 or not.

130
00:10:24,860 --> 00:10:27,080
It is decided by the individual.

131
00:10:28,220 --> 00:10:29,940
You don't have to trust Core.

132
00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:32,920
You don't have to trust Loop Dude, Loop Junior.

133
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:39,060
You don't have to relay spam. Run whatever node client serves you best.

134
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:46,480
But if you can pick the old compelled to justify your node choice to strangers on the internet, you've already lost the plot.

135
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:56,140
That's not what all of this is. The point of this whole thing is not for you to run the node that somebody on Twitter tells you to.

136
00:10:56,140 --> 00:11:04,920
and i'm done debating this shit i am done getting framed or farmed for engagement i am done

137
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:11,940
wasting precious time that could be spent listening to bitcoin podcasts and this is

138
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:17,660
my final statement on the no debate if you catch me engaging again i want you to call me out

139
00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:23,220
publicly shame me for breaking my pledge to disengage hold me accountable because i will

140
00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:24,220
appreciate it.

141
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:26,820
The too long don't read

142
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:28,600
of all of this.

143
00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:39,077
Stop scaring the plebs to sell merch and raise money from Jack Dorsey Just stop Stop all this bullshit It annoying

144
00:11:39,237 --> 00:11:39,757
It sucks.

145
00:11:40,017 --> 00:11:41,137
You're pissing me off.

146
00:11:41,557 --> 00:11:42,657
And you're scaring the plebs.

147
00:11:43,477 --> 00:11:44,557
End of statement.

148
00:11:45,217 --> 00:11:45,897
It's over.

149
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:46,857
I'm done.

150
00:11:47,117 --> 00:11:47,537
Thank you.

151
00:11:48,277 --> 00:11:52,357
So you went on Pleb Chain Radio and decided to do a sermon.

152
00:11:52,857 --> 00:11:53,837
Is that what happened here?

153
00:11:55,357 --> 00:11:56,457
Yeah, exactly.

154
00:11:56,457 --> 00:12:02,237
i uh i went on plug chain radio and part of the thing i appreciate about plug chain radio

155
00:12:02,237 --> 00:12:09,297
is the sermons but uh obvi was not there he couldn't find his house or something like that

156
00:12:09,297 --> 00:12:18,237
um so we didn't get a good sermon so i wrote my own well i enjoyed it yeah there there's this

157
00:12:18,237 --> 00:12:25,077
problem with uh you can't really do a whole lot of thinking when you're afraid right it is a very

158
00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:34,257
high time preference activity to be afraid fear is fear is an important emotion it it's an emotion

159
00:12:34,257 --> 00:12:40,977
that allows you to identify threats but i think fear also is weaponized it's something they taught

160
00:12:40,977 --> 00:12:47,577
us in journalism school is how to use fear to forward and promote whatever the cia's agenda is

161
00:12:47,577 --> 00:12:52,977
the cia is really good at fear intelligence agencies are really good at it trained journalists

162
00:12:52,977 --> 00:12:56,057
are really good at it. They're good at making the plebs,

163
00:12:56,857 --> 00:12:59,237
the uninitiated, the unintelligent,

164
00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:03,117
afraid, turn their brains off

165
00:13:03,117 --> 00:13:05,597
and then react in a certain way.

166
00:13:05,597 --> 00:13:07,637
It happens over and over and over again.

167
00:13:08,137 --> 00:13:11,777
You're afraid of the Muslims, so you're going to support

168
00:13:11,777 --> 00:13:15,077
the invasion of Iraq. You're afraid of

169
00:13:15,077 --> 00:13:18,097
whichever group.

170
00:13:19,317 --> 00:13:22,117
You're afraid of drug traffickers, so you're going to support

171
00:13:22,117 --> 00:13:28,857
the feds bombing uh venezuela you're afraid of the truth so you're gonna let the pentagon

172
00:13:28,857 --> 00:13:37,777
throw journalists in jail for reporting on the news you're afraid of losing your nice things

173
00:13:37,777 --> 00:13:47,277
so you're gonna let the pedophiles continue to run society exactly you have to ask yourself

174
00:13:47,277 --> 00:14:15,457
Every time the government tells you what you should be afraid of, every time the government tells you that you should be more afraid of Ginny Kimmel or you should be more afraid of Venezuelan fishing boats than the fact that the government is full of criminal pedophiles who are all enabling each other and have full control and power and authority over your life.

175
00:14:15,457 --> 00:14:25,037
If you think that that's less scary than Jenny Kimmel, it sounds silly on its face, right?

176
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:32,797
But unless they've got something scarier than what Epstein represents, it's a scion.

177
00:14:33,017 --> 00:14:33,537
Absolutely.

178
00:14:36,017 --> 00:14:38,837
And clads are very susceptible to scions.

179
00:14:39,317 --> 00:14:40,677
I think that's important.

180
00:14:40,777 --> 00:14:41,997
I think we all know that.

181
00:14:41,997 --> 00:14:48,357
So it's not, it is not nice to bully plebs.

182
00:14:48,957 --> 00:14:52,017
They are canon for their, it sucks enough to be a pleb.

183
00:14:52,417 --> 00:14:53,777
It's scary out there.

184
00:14:54,617 --> 00:14:56,577
And you don't know what to do.

185
00:14:57,717 --> 00:15:07,297
And scaring them on purpose to sell them hardware wallets and nodes and all these things, it's just not very nice is all I'm going to say.

186
00:15:08,757 --> 00:15:10,497
You should be helping the plebs.

187
00:15:10,497 --> 00:15:13,997
you don't have to spend all your time

188
00:15:13,997 --> 00:15:16,677
explaining every little corner of Bitcoin

189
00:15:16,677 --> 00:15:19,897
C++ to a pleb like Chris Guida

190
00:15:19,897 --> 00:15:22,197
just because he asked too many questions

191
00:15:22,197 --> 00:15:24,237
you don't have to spend all your time

192
00:15:24,237 --> 00:15:25,577
helping the plebs

193
00:15:25,577 --> 00:15:28,457
but if you have the opportunity to scare them

194
00:15:28,457 --> 00:15:30,257
or to comfort them

195
00:15:30,257 --> 00:15:32,577
and it costs you the same amount of energy

196
00:15:32,577 --> 00:15:34,597
it's just not nice to scare them

197
00:15:34,597 --> 00:15:35,477
and sometimes

198
00:15:35,477 --> 00:15:38,237
people just

199
00:15:38,237 --> 00:15:44,417
they they use scaring the plebs to their benefit and it's just it's a bad act that's what i mean by

200
00:15:44,417 --> 00:15:48,437
bad actor i think we're all tired of talking i'm not going to make the commitment not to talk about

201
00:15:48,437 --> 00:15:56,377
it anymore uh but i'm just not that interested in talking it so i appreciate uh your desire to not

202
00:15:56,377 --> 00:16:00,817
get roped into it anymore i've i've been focusing on things that matter more to me

203
00:16:00,817 --> 00:16:06,717
personally i've been having a good time i've been enjoying life while while while people

204
00:16:06,717 --> 00:16:13,417
walking around they're they're afraid i'm confused by it because i think in a lot of ways is good time

205
00:16:13,417 --> 00:16:22,117
because i think i've said this over and over again it's just i think one of the issues a lot

206
00:16:22,117 --> 00:16:28,097
of people are experiencing and what they've done is they spent a lot of time they're listening to

207
00:16:28,097 --> 00:16:30,977
kind of the Doomer narratives on Bitcoin podcast,

208
00:16:32,437 --> 00:16:37,297
and they didn't take action

209
00:16:37,297 --> 00:16:40,417
because the fear put them in a freeze situation.

210
00:16:41,197 --> 00:16:44,237
They didn't adjust their behaviors.

211
00:16:44,577 --> 00:16:45,837
They didn't adjust their relationships.

212
00:16:45,837 --> 00:16:50,837
They didn't adjust their strategies for the fourth turning.

213
00:16:51,637 --> 00:16:53,617
So instead of doing the things that they needed

214
00:16:53,617 --> 00:16:56,717
to be able to prepare for it,

215
00:16:56,717 --> 00:17:04,677
they uh just were stuck and they're smoking weed they were angry at david bailey they were

216
00:17:04,677 --> 00:17:14,777
doing whatever that wasn't productive and i i think that's a that's a dangerous spot i i haven't

217
00:17:14,777 --> 00:17:23,417
experienced that i've been preparing and yeah i encourage you guys if if you're if you were like

218
00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:30,077
that if you were just you've been so terrified you haven't been able to prepare uh there are

219
00:17:30,077 --> 00:17:35,377
some behaviors that need to change maybe you need to log off of social media and you need to read

220
00:17:35,377 --> 00:17:43,557
atlas shrugged and you need to uh be a grown-up and you need to uh go buy a suit at a store and uh

221
00:17:43,557 --> 00:17:50,537
turn in your gym shorts at least some of them there's i think there's also i think where i'm

222
00:17:50,537 --> 00:18:04,077
coming from is a sense of feeling guilt. I feel guilty because I took the time to, to send before

223
00:18:04,077 --> 00:18:10,977
turning hardcover to a hundred different friends and family members. I sent them

224
00:18:10,977 --> 00:18:24,397
countless uh bitcoin podcasts articles tweets bitcoin magazine articles um books to to tell

225
00:18:24,397 --> 00:18:30,157
the and told them like the fourth turning is coming hyper bitcoinization is coming it's a

226
00:18:30,157 --> 00:18:36,757
gradually then suddenly situation you can't trust you have to bear i've been warning them and so many

227
00:18:36,757 --> 00:18:40,997
people just didn't take the advice they didn't listen to 40 hours of bitcoin podcast per week

228
00:18:40,997 --> 00:18:47,917
like i did and i feel a sense of guilt that uh they're not ready and you know i'm i perfectly

229
00:18:47,917 --> 00:18:55,317
positioned myself for this fourth turning um but you have to assuage yourself of that guilt i think

230
00:18:55,317 --> 00:19:00,877
because no matter how hard you tried to orange bill them ultimately they had to make that decision

231
00:19:00,877 --> 00:19:10,197
for themselves um and just like you didn't find bitcoin as early as you could have you know the

232
00:19:10,197 --> 00:19:17,337
best time to start listening to bitcoin podcasts for 40 hours per week was 20 you know 15 years ago

233
00:19:17,337 --> 00:19:23,477
when bitcoin came out um but the second best time is today and so as people realize you know

234
00:19:23,477 --> 00:19:30,597
that they were prepared at least there is a lifeboat yeah well last week was a pretty interesting week

235
00:19:30,597 --> 00:19:38,577
i wasn't online as much as uh i could have been i was busy uh bitcoin podcasting with odell

236
00:19:38,577 --> 00:19:46,617
i was busy talking to people like michael goldstein and dr adam back i what was it like

237
00:19:46,617 --> 00:19:53,717
to be in the presence of you know such that you know experienced podcasters because even if the

238
00:19:53,717 --> 00:19:59,797
cameras aren't recording you know it's still a very similar atmosphere to a bitcoin podcast is

239
00:19:59,797 --> 00:20:07,357
that how you felt it was definitely a bitcoin podcast in person i i was afraid to talk to dr

240
00:20:07,357 --> 00:20:12,757
anabak because i think i i thought i was going to fall asleep i thought i was going to walk up and

241
00:20:12,757 --> 00:20:19,117
i was going to fall asleep and uh what actually happened i think having michael gold michael

242
00:20:19,117 --> 00:20:25,917
goldstein he's kind of like walking cocaine his brain's just firing on all cylinders he he's all

243
00:20:25,917 --> 00:20:34,737
excited he's high energy he's talking quickly uh the stuff he's saying is so profound so when

244
00:20:34,737 --> 00:20:41,157
back starts talking about relay policy you know goldstein really

245
00:20:41,157 --> 00:20:51,457
brings brings things back into being interesting and uh talks about different topics but yeah one

246
00:20:51,457 --> 00:20:55,277
of the things that michael goldstein was talking about which i thought was really fascinating

247
00:20:55,277 --> 00:20:59,477
was this idea. It was called the Nirvana effect.

248
00:21:01,757 --> 00:21:07,617
And the way that he described the Nirvana effect is people getting frustrated and grumpy because

249
00:21:07,617 --> 00:21:15,657
things aren't perfect, which I think a lot of this is something that has happened over

250
00:21:15,657 --> 00:21:23,277
and over in Bitcoin. I think Roger Ver is an early example of this where he got Bitcoin

251
00:21:23,277 --> 00:21:30,417
derangement syndrome because it wasn't the perfect thing that he wanted right and other people failed

252
00:21:30,417 --> 00:21:34,977
his purity test the users of the network failed his purity test so he had to fork off

253
00:21:34,977 --> 00:21:45,117
same with vlad costia just got bitcoin derangement syndrome because it wasn't it didn't meet his

254
00:21:45,117 --> 00:21:51,937
purity test for how privacy how privacy should work or how you know whatever it should work

255
00:21:51,937 --> 00:21:54,357
And there's a lot of people that tend to do this.

256
00:21:54,357 --> 00:21:55,797
And I think we,

257
00:21:55,897 --> 00:22:00,697
we were discussing the Nirvana effect earlier and we looked up the definition

258
00:22:00,697 --> 00:22:06,457
on Urban Dictionary and it talked about the definition being like talking

259
00:22:06,457 --> 00:22:07,757
about something too much.

260
00:22:07,857 --> 00:22:15,437
It's like being too close to the signal can kind of like make you lose

261
00:22:15,437 --> 00:22:15,877
perspective.

262
00:22:15,997 --> 00:22:19,677
They say like you fail to see the forest through the trees.

263
00:22:19,677 --> 00:22:27,437
and we're talking you're too close to the conversation you tend to realize how imperfect

264
00:22:27,437 --> 00:22:34,137
or you know the story is not as optimistic as you thought or there's more problems than you

265
00:22:34,137 --> 00:22:39,657
realized there would be and it starts to make you get bitcoin derangement syndrome or get

266
00:22:39,657 --> 00:22:47,297
frustrated or grumpy um is that kind of like is that kind of mesh with what uh they were thinking

267
00:22:47,297 --> 00:22:56,117
in there yeah I think it's good to I was experienced this on the roster so I I posted a

268
00:22:56,117 --> 00:23:03,397
controversial Nostra post I don't know what to call it when you do a post on Twitter you call it

269
00:23:03,397 --> 00:23:15,974
tweets a Nostra I guess you call it posts but I think there needs to be a better Notes Notes Notes They call it notes So I was noting when I did my Noster post

270
00:23:16,293 --> 00:23:16,914
I was noting.

271
00:23:19,014 --> 00:23:20,474
I don't like the sound of that.

272
00:23:20,633 --> 00:23:23,793
There needs to be a better term than noting.

273
00:23:24,053 --> 00:23:26,034
Notice. You should be noticing, not noting.

274
00:23:26,034 --> 00:23:28,853
I guess noticing is what you would be doing

275
00:23:28,853 --> 00:23:31,014
if you're reading Noster posts, right?

276
00:23:32,793 --> 00:23:33,434
I don't know.

277
00:23:33,474 --> 00:23:36,373
We got to workshop this a little bit.

278
00:23:37,714 --> 00:23:43,053
We'll put something up in the Bugle newsroom and maybe do a bounty.

279
00:23:43,994 --> 00:23:46,353
This would be a good use for a lightning bounty right here.

280
00:23:46,353 --> 00:23:49,954
Come up with the terminology of what it means to post on Noster.

281
00:23:50,113 --> 00:23:55,894
But anyways, I posted a controversial post on Noster saying that the memes need to get better.

282
00:23:56,714 --> 00:24:03,454
Because I was scrolling the Noster timeline, and I couldn't believe how bad and cringy the memes are.

283
00:24:03,474 --> 00:24:11,274
and there's this constant issue you know you go to the party and you're talking to a guy and the

284
00:24:11,274 --> 00:24:18,333
guy likes to uh listen to himself talk and doesn't know how much everybody else hates him

285
00:24:18,333 --> 00:24:20,293
hates hearing them talk

286
00:24:20,293 --> 00:24:29,053
there's a lot of that going on in this ecosystem and absolutely i think what's really important

287
00:24:29,053 --> 00:24:36,234
for people to understand right now there's been people that have been around for a while

288
00:24:36,234 --> 00:24:44,373
and they've gotten tied to this identity of fighting the culture fighting the system of being

289
00:24:44,373 --> 00:24:53,414
the underdogs and so you know i was talking with some people as again michael goldstein i gotta

290
00:24:53,414 --> 00:25:01,093
to say that guy i i'm genuinely impressed by him uh it's very rare that i get super excited and

291
00:25:01,093 --> 00:25:08,674
impressed about somebody in bitcoin but that guy well i think uh i think it's good to remember

292
00:25:08,674 --> 00:25:15,833
his personality of the unit it seems like he's always doing coke just excited and talking fast

293
00:25:15,833 --> 00:25:20,234
and that's how you sound to your friends and family members when you're talking about bitcoin

294
00:25:20,234 --> 00:25:28,373
Especially when you first get an orange bill, you seem like you're on a stimulant and you're just talking so fast and you're so excited and so optimistic.

295
00:25:28,613 --> 00:25:29,494
And they notice that.

296
00:25:30,014 --> 00:25:36,174
And it's important to hone your ability to communicate your optimism.

297
00:25:36,573 --> 00:25:38,414
And Goldstein does a great job of that.

298
00:25:38,494 --> 00:25:45,014
He continues to be excited and optimistic about things, including Bitcoin, in a coherent way.

299
00:25:45,014 --> 00:25:55,133
And I think it's very, when you, when you're around somebody who does that, it is contagious and it is exciting and it does, it is, you know, it spreads your optimism.

300
00:25:55,414 --> 00:26:05,853
So try to be that presence instead of just a rambling, you know, somebody at a party who's actually on cocaine and is rambling about incoherent business ideas.

301
00:26:07,274 --> 00:26:10,934
Well, I mean, he was wearing a suit and Dr. Back wasn't.

302
00:26:10,934 --> 00:26:18,654
so it it's easy to right one thing that i've learned working in the media is never underestimate

303
00:26:18,654 --> 00:26:27,573
a jew first and foremost but um also never underestimate a guy in a suit a jew in a suit

304
00:26:27,573 --> 00:26:32,813
you got to take him seriously and then when they're uh a prolific bitcoin podcaster

305
00:26:32,813 --> 00:26:42,633
truly a pioneer in a lot of ways a very very impressive pioneer uh i'm very impressed by this

306
00:26:42,633 --> 00:26:48,073
but you know i've been impressed by him for a while following his work for a while but you know

307
00:26:48,073 --> 00:26:53,853
having the first interaction in person was very and this is but this for me is the key takeaway

308
00:26:53,853 --> 00:27:01,813
is see what coiners are like jews you don't have to like them but never underestimate them

309
00:27:01,813 --> 00:27:10,194
Yeah. But we were talking about the libertarians and we're shitting on the libertarians.

310
00:27:11,333 --> 00:27:16,654
And the libertarians largely have failed to understand the importance of Bitcoin.

311
00:27:17,333 --> 00:27:24,773
And part of the reason is because Bitcoin is a technology that could allow them to win for the first time ever.

312
00:27:24,773 --> 00:27:32,754
And they've tied their identities to losing over and over and over again.

313
00:27:33,174 --> 00:27:42,174
They just want to issue purity tests and sit on the sidelines and lose.

314
00:27:42,853 --> 00:27:44,613
That's where their identities are.

315
00:27:44,613 --> 00:27:54,553
And I think a lot of the Bitcoin ecosystem is like that, too, where they've tied their identities to being.

316
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:56,053
the outcasts,

317
00:27:56,053 --> 00:27:59,214
they don't understand

318
00:27:59,214 --> 00:28:02,954
that Bitcoin is one,

319
00:28:03,454 --> 00:28:06,353
that it is a culturally relevant topic

320
00:28:06,353 --> 00:28:10,654
that in many ways is going mainstream.

321
00:28:10,974 --> 00:28:13,674
The NPCs, the plabs are starting to come in.

322
00:28:13,754 --> 00:28:15,474
They're starting to get interested in it.

323
00:28:16,313 --> 00:28:18,113
They have their retarded opinions.

324
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:19,754
They're going to have their retarded opinions.

325
00:28:19,914 --> 00:28:21,654
You can't change retards.

326
00:28:22,174 --> 00:28:23,434
They're going to be retarded.

327
00:28:23,434 --> 00:28:34,793
but uh things are changing pretty dramatically and it's time to to grow up like if what i would

328
00:28:34,793 --> 00:28:40,773
suggest for i wouldn't suggest people to liquidate their bitcoin positions like that ocean guy jason

329
00:28:40,773 --> 00:28:49,174
or whatever his name was but if you want to be a loser and that's where you want your identity to be

330
00:28:49,174 --> 00:28:55,813
go hang out with the libertarians because the bitcoin ecosystem is not full of a bunch of

331
00:28:55,813 --> 00:29:00,793
losers anymore it's full of a bunch of winners is full of a bunch of pioneers is full of a bunch of

332
00:29:00,793 --> 00:29:07,053
people that have radically changed the world and i think it's really important to have at least

333
00:29:07,053 --> 00:29:13,033
an ounce of self-respect when you look at yourself and you've interacted in this community to know

334
00:29:13,033 --> 00:29:14,714
that you're actually kind of cool

335
00:29:14,714 --> 00:29:16,414
and kind of the shit

336
00:29:16,414 --> 00:29:18,674
for having being a part of this.

337
00:29:18,894 --> 00:29:21,033
The Bitcoin podcasters...

338
00:29:22,694 --> 00:29:22,833
Like,

339
00:29:22,994 --> 00:29:24,974
there's something that has bothered me a lot

340
00:29:24,974 --> 00:29:27,434
is, you know,

341
00:29:27,474 --> 00:29:29,434
Bitcoiners have, like, groveled

342
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:31,174
at Joe Rogan's feet. Like, have a

343
00:29:31,174 --> 00:29:33,113
Bitcoiner on. Have a Bitcoiner on.

344
00:29:33,434 --> 00:29:34,754
Fuck Joe Rogan.

345
00:29:36,954 --> 00:29:38,974
Where we're going, Joe Rogan's

346
00:29:38,974 --> 00:29:40,613
going to be begging to come on our podcast.

347
00:29:41,994 --> 00:29:42,113
Yeah.

348
00:29:43,033 --> 00:29:53,494
We don't need to give a shit about this bald old man who is a horrible comedian and is very unintelligent.

349
00:29:54,333 --> 00:29:57,113
The dude has never listened to a Bitcoin podcast.

350
00:29:57,373 --> 00:30:04,394
Why the fuck would you give a shit about a guy's platform or opinion that has never listened to a Bitcoin podcast?

351
00:30:04,394 --> 00:30:07,113
Sure, he's got a lot of subscribers.

352
00:30:07,514 --> 00:30:10,333
He's done a lot of cool things, but you don't have to give a shit about it.

353
00:30:10,333 --> 00:30:13,813
I mean, there's something culturally relevant here,

354
00:30:13,813 --> 00:30:19,454
and I think it's important for individuals to have higher standards for themselves.

355
00:30:21,773 --> 00:30:27,754
Well, Scrooge, you're a road, and the question is,

356
00:30:27,833 --> 00:30:33,154
do you want to pass Ron Paul's purity test, or do you want to win?

357
00:30:34,174 --> 00:30:40,234
Because, I mean, you talked about, like, libertarians are addicted.

358
00:30:40,333 --> 00:30:49,073
to losing uh they're addicted to lose they know they have nothing to to offer they would they just

359
00:30:49,073 --> 00:30:56,194
want to feel morally superior because they pass enough purity tests um but we've already discussed

360
00:30:56,194 --> 00:31:03,033
time and time again on this show that the effort of trying to pass all the purity tests is a losing

361
00:31:03,033 --> 00:31:04,593
effort. We are all

362
00:31:04,593 --> 00:31:06,353
purity test failures.

363
00:31:07,853 --> 00:31:08,914
And we're born that way.

364
00:31:09,573 --> 00:31:10,994
So do you want to win or do you want to pass

365
00:31:10,994 --> 00:31:13,174
purity tests? Because you can't do both.

366
00:31:13,533 --> 00:31:14,593
And just because

367
00:31:14,593 --> 00:31:17,073
an unfunny podcaster,

368
00:31:18,073 --> 00:31:19,174
unfunny

369
00:31:19,174 --> 00:31:21,113
comedian gets fired from The Tonight

370
00:31:21,113 --> 00:31:21,414
Show,

371
00:31:22,073 --> 00:31:24,414
that doesn't mean you have to halt

372
00:31:24,414 --> 00:31:27,154
your efforts to try to pass

373
00:31:27,154 --> 00:31:29,133
a purity test. And don't

374
00:31:29,133 --> 00:31:30,654
let people use purity tests

375
00:31:30,654 --> 00:31:32,914
to try to

376
00:31:32,914 --> 00:31:38,313
dissuade you from building if you're proud of what you're doing and you want to win and you're

377
00:31:38,313 --> 00:31:45,894
playing to win don't let somebody who doesn't listen to 40 hours of podcast bitcoin podcasts

378
00:31:45,894 --> 00:31:55,154
per week and who hasn't been listening to 40 hours of bitcoin podcasts per week um tell you

379
00:31:55,154 --> 00:31:59,033
that you can't do what you're doing

380
00:31:59,033 --> 00:32:03,353
or that you shouldn't have a chance to win

381
00:32:03,353 --> 00:32:07,593
based on some purity tests you failed.

382
00:32:08,333 --> 00:32:09,513
Their opinion doesn't matter.

383
00:32:09,694 --> 00:32:10,974
I think it's time for self-respect.

384
00:32:11,793 --> 00:32:13,273
That's what the suit is.

385
00:32:13,313 --> 00:32:15,513
The suit is a sign of self-respect.

386
00:32:15,654 --> 00:32:17,633
There's a lot of people that are really resistant to the suit.

387
00:32:18,434 --> 00:32:20,573
There was a time in American history

388
00:32:20,573 --> 00:32:23,694
where men almost universally wore suits.

389
00:32:25,154 --> 00:32:31,174
there was a time in American history where men looked at themselves in the

390
00:32:31,174 --> 00:32:32,234
mirror and they had self-respect.

391
00:32:32,234 --> 00:32:35,633
There was a time when women had self-respect and I think we need to,

392
00:32:36,394 --> 00:32:38,313
that's what I want to go back to.

393
00:32:38,313 --> 00:32:41,894
That's what I want to experience in my life.

394
00:32:43,694 --> 00:32:47,174
And it is what I experienced in my life is I have self-respect.

395
00:32:47,333 --> 00:32:48,714
That's why I do the things that I do.

396
00:32:48,793 --> 00:32:50,313
That's why I'm a Bitcoin podcaster.

397
00:32:50,313 --> 00:33:00,734
That's why I don't waste my time, you know, getting sucked into stupid arguments constantly about nonsense.

398
00:33:00,853 --> 00:33:07,513
That's why I don't live in fear, you know, being terrorized by, you know, these, you know, very silly ideas.

399
00:33:08,194 --> 00:33:13,934
And I actually, you know, slow down and ask questions because I have fucking self-respect.

400
00:33:14,533 --> 00:33:17,873
Guys, you're not a pleb anymore.

401
00:33:17,873 --> 00:33:24,613
if you're if you are a pleb and you're you're stuck trying to hold on to this you're you're

402
00:33:24,613 --> 00:33:31,353
going to have a bad time you're not going to do well you want to hold on to the you you want to

403
00:33:31,353 --> 00:33:37,234
listen to plebslop the plebslop podcast you want to listen to macro gibberish that confirms that

404
00:33:37,234 --> 00:33:42,033
you're right but it doesn't make sense that's what you want to do with your time

405
00:33:42,033 --> 00:33:50,954
yeah the you talk about there was a time where everybody wore suits and we got away from that

406
00:33:50,954 --> 00:33:59,694
if you look at the correlation started around 1971 uh with technology computers the acceleration

407
00:33:59,694 --> 00:34:06,133
that we think of today coming with ai were really began in the techno technology information age

408
00:34:06,133 --> 00:34:14,053
and people were so you know computer programmers tech guys they were so smart and they were like

409
00:34:14,053 --> 00:34:17,914
so ahead of the time ahead of the curve that they didn't have to wear seats to work anymore

410
00:34:17,914 --> 00:34:24,113
they were so rare that they were so early and so technically proficient and had so much foresight

411
00:34:24,113 --> 00:34:29,454
that they could look like you know they could wear a t-shirt and sweatpants to work and they

412
00:34:29,454 --> 00:34:35,613
didn't have to comb their hair or wear deodorant uh and there was a time like that where it was

413
00:34:35,613 --> 00:34:47,610
enough to have a you know look like a sloppy wizard in cargo shorts with a Bitcoin t on because you were so early to Bitcoin that you didn have to wear a suit You didn even have that self

414
00:34:48,650 --> 00:34:51,410
You just, people still had to respect you.

415
00:34:52,470 --> 00:34:54,670
We're not in that point anymore with Bitcoin.

416
00:34:54,850 --> 00:34:55,850
We're not that early.

417
00:34:55,850 --> 00:35:01,310
So wearing a suit is now, it's like, okay, you own Bitcoin.

418
00:35:01,530 --> 00:35:04,410
Well, congratulations, everybody owns Bitcoin at this point.

419
00:35:04,930 --> 00:35:07,010
But do you actually have self-respect?

420
00:35:07,010 --> 00:35:14,810
Do you not have the skill and the talent to run your own node and manage your own self-custody?

421
00:35:15,530 --> 00:35:26,230
But do you still have the self-respect that a Bitcoiner should at least exude that self-pride that you listen to podcasts?

422
00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:28,730
Well, that's how you represent that with a suit.

423
00:35:30,210 --> 00:35:34,390
I don't take self-custody, but I still have self-respect.

424
00:35:34,390 --> 00:35:38,910
well uh there's a lot of stuff going on in the world this week

425
00:35:38,910 --> 00:35:45,550
so what one of the things i'm really wondering i mentioned it to odell i asked him on the interview

426
00:35:45,550 --> 00:35:53,490
was uh what do youtube thumbnails look like in in p clown world i think this is an interesting

427
00:35:53,490 --> 00:35:59,850
idea to speculate on you have to wear you have to wear clown makeup to succeed in clown world

428
00:35:59,850 --> 00:36:08,250
is that the question is marty band have to wear clown makeup to succeed it as a you know

429
00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:17,050
podcaster in this clown world i think it's something that we have to track i mean i do think that is

430
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:23,670
reasonable maybe that's where you know i was speculating that these guys start

431
00:36:23,670 --> 00:36:31,950
turning themselves into ai women and bikinis thong bikinis but maybe it is that they they get

432
00:36:31,950 --> 00:36:38,370
to the point where they have to well wear clown makeup in their youtube maybe that maybe the

433
00:36:38,370 --> 00:36:45,350
choice is we either put on a suit or you post open out open mouth thumbnails because those are

434
00:36:45,350 --> 00:36:51,950
the only two ways to identify on youtube or you know on the timeline anymore i would like to ask

435
00:36:51,950 --> 00:36:56,530
the simply bitcoin guys what they think not everybody who wears clown making what do they

436
00:36:56,530 --> 00:37:04,150
say what's the old it's it's a cliche about clowns is that they're usually sad a sad clown

437
00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:12,130
and i think if you think of it through that lens it's especially if you know right there's a lot

438
00:37:12,130 --> 00:37:19,570
of people who post open mouth thumbnails who are not proud to open open open mouth thumbnails they

439
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:27,190
They are, you know, their response is like a man's got to eat, got to make money, got to compete on the timeline and the algorithm.

440
00:37:27,690 --> 00:37:29,910
And that's how it works, you know, open mouth thumbnails.

441
00:37:30,230 --> 00:37:31,510
But they're not happy about it.

442
00:37:31,510 --> 00:37:38,890
And a lot of those open mouth thumbnails, if you really think of them as a big frown, they're sad.

443
00:37:39,050 --> 00:37:40,770
It's something that we have to track for sure.

444
00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:48,890
Folks, if you put your face on the Internet, it might be used for an open mouth thumbnail, whether you have your mouth open or not.

445
00:37:48,890 --> 00:37:51,330
because you can edit it with AI now.

446
00:37:51,930 --> 00:37:52,850
Fun fact.

447
00:37:53,030 --> 00:37:54,090
Somebody could, you know,

448
00:37:54,290 --> 00:37:55,390
it's like Scottie Pippen.

449
00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:58,290
Somebody could take your whole brand,

450
00:37:58,410 --> 00:38:00,610
your whole persona, your whole platform

451
00:38:00,610 --> 00:38:04,390
and turn it into an open mouth thumbnail platform

452
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:06,130
on their own, you know, account.

453
00:38:07,310 --> 00:38:08,690
Be more popular than you.

454
00:38:08,750 --> 00:38:09,390
They could take over.

455
00:38:09,490 --> 00:38:10,910
They could just turn you into a clown

456
00:38:10,910 --> 00:38:13,330
and control your entire reputation.

457
00:38:15,090 --> 00:38:17,190
Some people make it easy to do that.

458
00:38:17,190 --> 00:38:18,830
Like David Dennis Porter, excuse me.

459
00:38:18,890 --> 00:38:28,710
he doesn't mind being a clown um so i think it was the week prior uh jimmy kimmel got fired

460
00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:36,590
no it was it was like five days ago four days ago okay so it was this last week so so there was a

461
00:38:36,590 --> 00:38:41,410
fake attack on journalism and there was a real attack on journalism that happened this week

462
00:38:41,410 --> 00:38:47,510
people got upset about the fake attack and they don't seem too particularly upset about the real

463
00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:57,150
attack which is not surprising you shouldn't be surprised here but uh the fake attack was jimmy

464
00:38:57,150 --> 00:39:04,290
kimmel getting fired uh for cause you know when somebody sucks when an employee sucks

465
00:39:04,290 --> 00:39:11,250
and they are paying enough money to afford expensive jewish lawyers it's it's tricky to

466
00:39:11,250 --> 00:39:16,890
fire them right it can be tricky to fire them because the expensive jewish lawyers might

467
00:39:16,890 --> 00:39:24,710
sue the organization uh so what they did is they you know jimmy kimmel has been saying

468
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:31,350
absolutely retarded shit for years nothing new they're saying off color stupid nonsense

469
00:39:31,350 --> 00:39:37,170
but they they got him for one he said something about charlie kirk and you know

470
00:39:37,170 --> 00:39:45,090
got canceled for it and they whipped up a mob of angry plebs and uh they use that as an excuse to

471
00:39:45,090 --> 00:39:51,170
fire him because his rating sucked he just people weren't excited to listen to his uh

472
00:39:51,170 --> 00:39:59,470
nonsensical liberal plebslop uh but the real attack on journalism folks is that the pentagon

473
00:39:59,470 --> 00:40:05,810
is uh threatening journalists reporting on the things that they're doing

474
00:40:05,810 --> 00:40:12,850
right now pentagon saying that journalists can't report on stuff that they're doing for national

475
00:40:12,850 --> 00:40:21,310
security risks once we've seen this before this is we've talked about this over and over you have

476
00:40:21,310 --> 00:40:30,730
podcom approved podcasts and non-podcom approved podcast uh just change a few letters one word

477
00:40:30,730 --> 00:40:37,410
if pentagon approved podcasts and non-pentagon approved podcasts that's the new future right

478
00:40:37,410 --> 00:40:39,250
That's what they're trying to set up.

479
00:40:39,710 --> 00:40:41,730
Which podcast is Pentagon approved?

480
00:40:41,910 --> 00:40:55,410
Well, it might not be as obvious as the podcast with a big stamp and a label on it, but it'll have the same feeling.

481
00:40:55,410 --> 00:41:04,130
feeling um you know the pentagon podcast the pen the journalists who satisfy the pentagon's

482
00:41:04,130 --> 00:41:11,550
security tests um they'll just blatantly not state obvious things even though they're obvious

483
00:41:11,550 --> 00:41:18,310
like lynn alden is hot a podconf approved podcast won't say it nobody knows why there's been no

484
00:41:18,310 --> 00:41:26,270
official documentation on whether or not it's uh allowed to acknowledge that lynn alton is hot on

485
00:41:26,270 --> 00:41:34,570
this podcast but um it just you know it just won't be discussed and i have a feeling that's going to

486
00:41:34,570 --> 00:41:41,630
be how this works some journalists will be able to say obvious things that seem completely

487
00:41:41,630 --> 00:41:52,370
unoffensive unless for some reason everybody else won't say it yeah so this uh reporter at

488
00:41:52,370 --> 00:41:57,850
Bloomberg put this article out that uh disclosed tv is circulating it says the pentagon limits

489
00:41:57,850 --> 00:42:04,010
journalists access to military information uh the guy who wrote the article he's got some stupid

490
00:42:04,010 --> 00:42:06,950
Polish name with a bunch of C's and Z's in it,

491
00:42:07,450 --> 00:42:08,710
Tony Zucza.

492
00:42:11,230 --> 00:42:14,550
So apparently the Pentagon is requesting

493
00:42:14,550 --> 00:42:17,290
or threatening journalists saying that they can only

494
00:42:17,290 --> 00:42:20,710
report on pre-approved information,

495
00:42:21,530 --> 00:42:23,590
even if it's declassified.

496
00:42:23,710 --> 00:42:27,030
So they're saying journalists cannot report on even declassified

497
00:42:27,030 --> 00:42:29,910
information that's open for the public to know about.

498
00:42:29,910 --> 00:42:38,170
so an organization that has never passed a financial audit that has a huge military black

499
00:42:38,170 --> 00:42:43,590
budget that has committed countless war crimes invaded countries uh

500
00:42:43,590 --> 00:42:50,770
based on lies that the new york times and other organizations have propagated is now telling

501
00:42:50,770 --> 00:42:57,710
journalists that they cannot report on things that are declassified and they have to go off of a

502
00:42:57,710 --> 00:43:03,770
pre-approved list i mean they're really taking that that podconf approach

503
00:43:03,770 --> 00:43:15,630
and people are upset about jimmy kimmel getting fired right now folks this is what they are saying

504
00:43:15,630 --> 00:43:23,890
with this policy and this is what it boils down to if you're a journalist you can't repeat

505
00:43:23,890 --> 00:43:25,830
the things you hear on podcasts.

506
00:43:26,150 --> 00:43:28,270
They don't want journalists to report

507
00:43:28,270 --> 00:43:30,850
what they hear talked about,

508
00:43:30,990 --> 00:43:32,370
discussed, or information

509
00:43:32,370 --> 00:43:34,870
that is broken by podcast.

510
00:43:35,310 --> 00:43:38,250
It has to go through the Pentagon's filter first.

511
00:43:38,390 --> 00:43:40,430
If the Pentagon doesn't approve

512
00:43:40,430 --> 00:43:43,570
what the journalist hears on a podcast,

513
00:43:44,970 --> 00:43:46,550
it can't report on it.

514
00:43:46,710 --> 00:43:47,970
It can't be written about.

515
00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:49,590
This is why you have to listen

516
00:43:49,590 --> 00:43:52,190
to Bitcoin podcasts

517
00:43:52,190 --> 00:43:53,790
because the journalists

518
00:43:53,790 --> 00:43:55,690
will no longer be allowed

519
00:43:55,690 --> 00:43:58,510
to cover what they hear

520
00:43:58,510 --> 00:44:00,210
on a podcast

521
00:44:00,210 --> 00:44:02,190
until it's approved by the Pentagon.

522
00:44:02,350 --> 00:44:04,470
So you have to listen to podcasts yourself.

523
00:44:04,570 --> 00:44:06,250
You cannot trust...

524
00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:08,270
Honestly, this makes it so

525
00:44:08,270 --> 00:44:10,550
you cannot even trust anybody

526
00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:12,810
to tell you what they heard on a podcast

527
00:44:12,810 --> 00:44:15,010
because by doing so,

528
00:44:15,070 --> 00:44:15,730
they could be labeled.

529
00:44:15,730 --> 00:44:17,590
I mean, they could call you a journalist.

530
00:44:19,770 --> 00:44:22,070
I would argue that podcasters are journalists

531
00:44:22,070 --> 00:44:22,830
in a lot of ways.

532
00:44:22,830 --> 00:44:26,950
some better than others some uncredentialed some non-credentialed

533
00:44:26,950 --> 00:44:30,310
joe nakamoto doesn't have his credentials obviously but

534
00:44:30,310 --> 00:44:36,170
yeah these are the danger this is a problem with purity tests

535
00:44:36,170 --> 00:44:41,770
a lot of times is uh the people get emotional about purity tests and they'll get more emotional

536
00:44:41,770 --> 00:44:48,790
over you know very silly purity tests like uh you know whatever david bailey's working on

537
00:44:48,790 --> 00:44:54,650
whatever sort of financial nonsense he's doing they'll be mad at david and they'll they'll

538
00:44:54,650 --> 00:45:01,970
miss the entire point of what's going on they don't have enough emotional energy left to even

539
00:45:01,970 --> 00:45:07,390
think about something like this the rate of pleditor tweet they'll start spiraling into

540
00:45:07,390 --> 00:45:12,510
circles they'll be so upset i can't believe that this person did this and then

541
00:45:12,510 --> 00:45:20,350
like we're at the precipice of something dangerous right now on a lot of different fronts so you know

542
00:45:20,350 --> 00:45:26,230
people got excited about trump he said play with your bitcoins at the bitcoin conference he said

543
00:45:26,230 --> 00:45:33,150
no new wars uh now he's threatening afghanistan he wants to go back into afghanistan he's talking

544
00:45:33,150 --> 00:45:39,130
about invading venezuela things are he he promised to end the ukraine war that seems to only be

545
00:45:39,130 --> 00:45:49,870
escalating who knows what's going on over there and people are mad about shit coins and taproot

546
00:45:49,870 --> 00:45:58,310
wizards fees are at all-time lows blocks are near empty mining pools are going to subset

547
00:45:58,310 --> 00:46:05,110
one set a fee by transaction fees where are people's priorities right now holy fucking shit

548
00:46:05,110 --> 00:46:07,910
like they're

549
00:46:07,910 --> 00:46:10,130
they're more willing to get upset

550
00:46:10,130 --> 00:46:11,350
about

551
00:46:11,350 --> 00:46:13,910
shit coins

552
00:46:13,910 --> 00:46:16,050
than a potential

553
00:46:16,050 --> 00:46:16,530
like

554
00:46:16,947 --> 00:46:19,647
global war escalating.

555
00:46:20,907 --> 00:46:23,987
They're either their kids or them,

556
00:46:24,087 --> 00:46:24,887
if they're young enough,

557
00:46:25,287 --> 00:46:29,367
getting drafted to go get slaughtered by drones,

558
00:46:30,307 --> 00:46:31,167
suicide drones.

559
00:46:31,407 --> 00:46:34,667
The Epstein client list running rampant,

560
00:46:34,827 --> 00:46:36,507
a guy that should be running a 7-Eleven,

561
00:46:36,507 --> 00:46:38,047
running the FBI,

562
00:46:39,067 --> 00:46:41,927
telling a Christian man that he'd see him in Valhalla,

563
00:46:42,507 --> 00:46:45,767
saying that Epstein didn't kill himself

564
00:46:45,767 --> 00:46:48,307
after going on podcasts and saying that he did.

565
00:46:50,327 --> 00:46:54,067
There's some things to be frustrated about

566
00:46:54,067 --> 00:46:56,967
and angry about right now.

567
00:46:59,527 --> 00:47:03,767
And instead of...

568
00:47:04,707 --> 00:47:08,267
I guess I was talking about this recently on my music show.

569
00:47:08,267 --> 00:47:13,267
It's just people's compasses are malcalibrated.

570
00:47:13,267 --> 00:47:19,267
their sense of direction is completely upside down right now

571
00:47:19,267 --> 00:47:23,667
the institution of journalism is it's important

572
00:47:23,667 --> 00:47:31,687
this is why podcasting is important because much of the institution of journalism has been co-opted

573
00:47:31,687 --> 00:47:40,367
we know this we know that a lot of journalists have zero self-respect this is why the bugle is

574
00:47:40,367 --> 00:47:46,447
important because we have self-respect many journalists have very little self-respect you

575
00:47:46,447 --> 00:47:51,227
look at pete rizzo right now you know that he doesn't have any self-respect you look at his

576
00:47:51,227 --> 00:47:59,687
clickbait tweets that he puts out he doesn't have any respect for his readers too i think this is

577
00:47:59,687 --> 00:48:05,887
part of the clickbait stuff if you're putting out clickbait you don't have respect for the people

578
00:48:05,887 --> 00:48:18,107
watching your content and it's it's important to slow down and to think a little bit about what

579
00:48:18,107 --> 00:48:23,267
you're seeing what the highest levels of priority are and i think one of the highest levels of

580
00:48:23,267 --> 00:48:33,447
priority right now is to preserve the ability to disseminate information that is accurate

581
00:48:33,447 --> 00:48:38,307
to question information that is inaccurate

582
00:48:38,307 --> 00:48:46,067
because you know if the pentagon gets away with this like the next thing you know we're

583
00:48:46,067 --> 00:48:50,487
going to be like the uk where people are being arrested for posting memes the

584
00:48:50,487 --> 00:48:59,027
the ultimate takeaway for me is um it's very obvious and it's been obvious and i for years

585
00:48:59,027 --> 00:49:07,947
now and i don't part of my journalism is an attempt to communicate this message which is

586
00:49:07,947 --> 00:49:18,567
the media journalists politicians everybody brands companies corporations they the content they put

587
00:49:18,567 --> 00:49:26,607
out uh what they don't respect you they don't respect their audience they don't respect you

588
00:49:26,607 --> 00:49:32,247
and you shouldn't if you start to come across anybody whether it's a company an ordination or

589
00:49:32,247 --> 00:49:38,807
an individual who doesn't communicate with you in a way that demonstrates that they respect you

590
00:49:38,807 --> 00:49:44,387
like that they have any respect for you um you know you don't have to pay attention to them anymore

591
00:49:44,387 --> 00:49:52,647
and this is part of the problem which is as long as we're all spanning each other's notes

592
00:49:52,647 --> 00:50:01,287
we're not focusing on what the real issue is um we're just trying to troll each other and figure

593
00:50:01,287 --> 00:50:06,867
out different ways to prove that no matter how many filters you put in front of you we can still

594
00:50:06,867 --> 00:50:15,527
span your note and at the end of the day we need to be coming together this is like why we need to

595
00:50:15,527 --> 00:50:21,307
stop doing this it's not if you're a core person or a nazi or republican or a democrat this message

596
00:50:21,307 --> 00:50:25,467
should not be resonating with only your side.

597
00:50:25,687 --> 00:50:27,227
Everybody needs to hear this.

598
00:50:28,767 --> 00:50:32,567
We need to come together and focus our energy.

599
00:50:32,687 --> 00:50:36,387
We need to spam Palantir, not each other's notes.

600
00:50:36,847 --> 00:50:41,227
Spam Palantir. Spam the Pentagon. Spam the pedophiles.

601
00:50:41,567 --> 00:50:42,487
Don't spam my note.

602
00:50:43,327 --> 00:50:46,967
And I think if we come to this consensus,

603
00:50:46,967 --> 00:50:55,487
this we won't have to have this argument about mental policy anymore yeah i don't love like the

604
00:50:55,487 --> 00:51:00,727
idea of like coming together because i think a diversity of opinions is good because it means

605
00:51:00,727 --> 00:51:05,387
that people are thinking for themselves like i don't think there needs to be any unity so to say

606
00:51:05,387 --> 00:51:09,947
like you should if you don't like shinobi i don't i don't think you should start liking him

607
00:51:09,947 --> 00:51:17,067
necessarily or you know mechanic or whoever it is that you're grumpy at but it's just

608
00:51:17,067 --> 00:51:24,847
i think it's vital to to choose where you direct your energy and to not get caught up in distractions

609
00:51:24,847 --> 00:51:29,207
of things that don't matter and

610
00:51:29,207 --> 00:51:39,727
to focus on what the what the problem is you know if the pentagon gets away with this and they

611
00:51:39,727 --> 00:51:45,367
they start to regulate what journalists can and can't report on the next thing you know

612
00:51:45,367 --> 00:51:50,567
mining pools are going to start censoring transactions and they say hey you cannot

613
00:51:50,567 --> 00:51:57,527
or or you know other platforms will start censoring transactions and they say hey you

614
00:51:57,527 --> 00:52:04,927
can't send this podcaster bitcoin that's the that's the problem with where we're at in the

615
00:52:04,927 --> 00:52:12,067
direction that we're heading at and so i don't i don't think like you you can find unlikable people

616
00:52:12,067 --> 00:52:18,067
allies in a lot of ways like there's you might you don't have to like them but there's going to be

617
00:52:18,067 --> 00:52:26,367
people out there that are much more on your side than uh than other people for sure did it at the

618
00:52:26,367 --> 00:52:36,887
end of the day, spamming other people's nodes means you're spamming yourself. If you run a node

619
00:52:36,887 --> 00:52:42,627
and you want to spam Matthew Cratter's node, the trade-off is that you have to spam your own node

620
00:52:42,627 --> 00:52:49,087
because that's how Bitcoin works. And that's how society works. And that's how life works. If you

621
00:52:49,087 --> 00:52:56,667
want to spam shinobi if shinobi wants to spam you they're ultimately spamming themselves because

622
00:52:56,667 --> 00:53:05,227
there there is a constraint on the amount of resources and energy and time that any of us have

623
00:53:05,227 --> 00:53:12,167
any given 10 minutes of our lives um and if we want to spam each other we're ultimately spamming

624
00:53:12,167 --> 00:53:18,987
ourselves so just broadcast what you think is best for you and most beneficial to you and stop

625
00:53:19,087 --> 00:53:22,147
even when it's cheap, even when it's easy,

626
00:53:22,227 --> 00:53:23,567
even when the fees are low,

627
00:53:24,307 --> 00:53:25,787
it's just not...

628
00:53:25,787 --> 00:53:31,927
Ask, is it really worth spamming and trolling your opponents

629
00:53:31,927 --> 00:53:34,287
when at the end of the day,

630
00:53:35,007 --> 00:53:38,407
they're also spamming your own time and yourself?

631
00:53:38,407 --> 00:53:42,407
Yeah, I think people are way too hyper-focused on...

632
00:53:43,367 --> 00:53:44,947
There are some people.

633
00:53:45,127 --> 00:53:45,947
This isn't everybody.

634
00:53:46,147 --> 00:53:48,747
And I think this is the hard part of where we're at right now

635
00:53:48,747 --> 00:53:50,307
is actually gauging sentiment.

636
00:53:52,127 --> 00:53:53,427
People are going on Twitter.

637
00:53:53,567 --> 00:53:55,867
They're trying to gauge what the sentiment is.

638
00:53:56,087 --> 00:54:00,527
It's not really a good platform to be able to do that

639
00:54:00,527 --> 00:54:04,167
because you don't know who you're interacting with.

640
00:54:05,547 --> 00:54:06,907
The government does.

641
00:54:08,527 --> 00:54:09,267
The NSA does.

642
00:54:10,367 --> 00:54:12,027
But you don't have the power.

643
00:54:12,147 --> 00:54:13,687
You don't have access to Palantir.

644
00:54:13,687 --> 00:54:18,507
So it's people's brains are being spammed.

645
00:54:18,747 --> 00:54:24,547
And I think that's more dangerous than your node getting spanned, your brain getting spanned.

646
00:54:25,367 --> 00:54:33,187
And so finding ways to filter the spam in your brain is important.

647
00:54:33,187 --> 00:54:35,087
They're not relaying it up.

648
00:54:35,227 --> 00:54:42,727
Don't bog down your mom, your dad, your co-workers, your grandma, your neighbor.

649
00:54:42,727 --> 00:54:50,147
Don't bog down their resources, their mental faculties with other people's spam.

650
00:54:50,687 --> 00:54:55,387
Like, you don't have to share everything just because it pissed you off.

651
00:54:55,467 --> 00:55:03,727
Just because Shinobi called you retarded doesn't mean you have to board and relay that information to everybody around you.

652
00:55:05,987 --> 00:55:06,627
Absolutely.

653
00:55:07,427 --> 00:55:09,867
Yeah, be careful about what you're relaying.

654
00:55:09,867 --> 00:55:14,887
But yeah, I guess it's been kind of a heavy podcast.

655
00:55:16,867 --> 00:55:29,115
And I think the last one was a little bit heavy too i think it important to remember that there good things happening right now to highlight those good things that are happening

656
00:55:29,115 --> 00:55:40,655
folks we're entering in the golden age of bitcoin podcast we are in many ways entering in the golden

657
00:55:40,655 --> 00:55:49,035
age of Bitcoin smell the roses take time to smell the roses take time to enjoy the people around you

658
00:55:49,035 --> 00:55:57,275
take time to enjoy posting good memes people got grumpy with me for saying that the memes on

659
00:55:57,275 --> 00:56:05,695
Noster suck not all of them suck I don't know who it was but somebody pointed out to me to go find

660
00:56:05,695 --> 00:56:13,895
corn delorean on oster and i was very impressed with corn corn delorean's memes those are some

661
00:56:13,895 --> 00:56:19,736
good memes this is the problem with letting your brains get spammed is you miss all the good stuff

662
00:56:19,736 --> 00:56:28,035
that's out there there's a lot of good stuff the the noise overtakes the signal the signal

663
00:56:28,035 --> 00:56:37,416
it's not that the signal doesn't exist it's that it's being drowned in the noise and so

664
00:56:37,416 --> 00:56:44,335
we need to we need to operate with a hot with a much tighter relay policy

665
00:56:44,335 --> 00:56:52,535
with for your brains and unfortunately social media is difficult makes it difficult to do so

666
00:56:52,535 --> 00:56:53,995
because it's just filled with spam.

667
00:56:54,135 --> 00:56:55,315
It's filled with pleb slop.

668
00:56:55,435 --> 00:56:57,715
It's filled with nonsense.

669
00:56:58,075 --> 00:56:59,356
That's part of the reason why it's nice

670
00:56:59,356 --> 00:57:01,075
to hang out with people in person.

671
00:57:02,155 --> 00:57:03,955
Shake your favorite podcaster's hand.

672
00:57:05,736 --> 00:57:07,655
Smoke cigarettes together.

673
00:57:08,755 --> 00:57:10,595
Talk about things other than

674
00:57:10,595 --> 00:57:14,455
the same stuff that you talk over and over and over again.

675
00:57:14,875 --> 00:57:16,856
Talk about interesting things happen in the world.

676
00:57:16,856 --> 00:57:18,775
Talk about music.

677
00:57:19,155 --> 00:57:21,155
Talk about books.

678
00:57:21,155 --> 00:57:28,616
i've been reading a really good book uh this week i really really like it so you know jk rowling has

679
00:57:28,616 --> 00:57:36,135
a uh another pen name uh robert galbraith do you know this rod so she wrote this series uh

680
00:57:36,135 --> 00:57:42,895
about a private detective that i really like the the book is titled the hallmarked man

681
00:57:42,895 --> 00:57:48,116
and it's like the seventh book in the series or something like there's a bunch of them but

682
00:57:48,116 --> 00:57:55,635
fuck is it a good book it's a compelling story and there's tons of shit like that that you could

683
00:57:55,635 --> 00:58:03,775
be doing my my my little perspective on it is that you're right everything you're saying is

684
00:58:03,775 --> 00:58:13,015
right my but it is refreshing to be around people who understand the gravity of the situation

685
00:58:13,015 --> 00:58:20,055
you know the past two episodes you said have been heavy people who understand the weight of the

686
00:58:20,055 --> 00:58:26,475
world we live in right now and are still gleeful because i think that is the message because it is

687
00:58:26,475 --> 00:58:36,755
heavy it is serious it sometimes is scary and the user experience is very terrible in many situations

688
00:58:36,755 --> 00:58:41,455
but we're not grumpy we're so gleeful and the people who are grumpy right now and all they want

689
00:58:41,455 --> 00:58:49,575
to talk about is that is the weight of the world that's not an optimistic story being gleeful despite

690
00:58:49,575 --> 00:58:57,035
you know that's like the book of job job in the bible right like his entire he had a million

691
00:58:57,035 --> 00:59:03,195
reasons to be grumpy but he refused he refused to be grumpy he chose to be gleeful and that

692
00:59:03,195 --> 00:59:10,135
and that's an inspirational story to me it tells you that uh there's always a reason to be gleeful

693
00:59:10,135 --> 00:59:16,955
always a reason to be bullish that's an interesting take i've always i thought the book of joe i get

694
00:59:16,955 --> 00:59:23,455
a different take from the book of joe that god's kind of a prick but uh it's kind of a prick i don't

695
00:59:23,455 --> 00:59:27,435
think it's i don't think there's anything i don't think there's anything wrong with admitting that

696
00:59:27,435 --> 00:59:36,095
god is a prick um but just because god is a prick doesn't mean that you have to be grumpy like don't

697
00:59:36,095 --> 00:59:42,415
let God make you grumpy. That's, that's a pretty powerful place if that you can sit in, if you're

698
00:59:42,415 --> 00:59:49,435
not allowing God to make you grumpy. I don't know if it is achievable by people, by most people,

699
00:59:49,515 --> 00:59:55,856
by anybody. I don't know if, I don't know if even a Buddhist monk can, can be so Zen that he doesn't

700
00:59:55,856 --> 01:00:03,335
let God make him grumpy, but you know, God's not always trying to make you grumpy. So

701
01:00:03,335 --> 01:00:11,655
if you strive to make it so that god can't make you grumpy well then if you succeed nobody else

702
01:00:11,655 --> 01:00:15,295
will be able to make you grumpy only god and if god's not always trying to make you grumpy

703
01:00:15,295 --> 01:00:24,215
there'll be times in your life where you'll have no excuse to be grumpy if god can't make you grumpy

704
01:00:24,215 --> 01:00:29,616
paper bitcoin can't make you grumpy spam can't make you grumpy god is if god is not trying to

705
01:00:29,616 --> 01:00:40,395
make me grumpy you know who could possibly be able to hell yeah well uh nothing stops this glee

706
01:00:40,395 --> 01:00:48,996
i think should be the uh the mantra yeah so uh dr adam back followed me on twitter this week

707
01:00:48,996 --> 01:00:55,555
and uh so that means shinobi followed me with a different account i don't know if dr adam back

708
01:00:55,555 --> 01:01:01,335
is grumpy or gleeful see that he has a very good poker face a very good podcast poker face it's

709
01:01:01,335 --> 01:01:06,555
hard to tell he says you know like he's bullish he always says really bullish things but a lot of

710
01:01:06,555 --> 01:01:11,996
people do you know and it's he's very good at masking if he's just rolling her out i mean he's

711
01:01:11,996 --> 01:01:17,496
you can't see that little out and back smirk on his face from the most it's on video

712
01:01:17,496 --> 01:01:22,275
he seemed pretty gleeful to me in person when i was talking to him

713
01:01:22,275 --> 01:01:26,195
he seems like he's having a good time

714
01:01:26,195 --> 01:01:29,815
I guess you know

715
01:01:29,815 --> 01:01:32,496
Tether's been really successful lately so he has a reason

716
01:01:32,496 --> 01:01:33,236
to be gleeful

717
01:01:33,236 --> 01:01:35,295
him and Samson

718
01:01:35,295 --> 01:01:38,736
Samson's grumpy though

719
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:40,815
that's true

720
01:01:40,815 --> 01:01:42,575
that is true Samson has become

721
01:01:42,575 --> 01:01:44,835
grumpy about Bitcoin Core

722
01:01:44,835 --> 01:01:46,275
in the nonce debate

723
01:01:46,275 --> 01:01:48,535
so even if Samson can be

724
01:01:48,535 --> 01:01:50,376
grumpy about it you know anybody

725
01:01:50,376 --> 01:01:59,236
can samson don't you samson's allowing god to be make him grumpy it's pretty apparent we have not

726
01:01:59,236 --> 01:02:06,876
seen the god candle yet and it is making samson grumpy and uh it's interesting

727
01:02:06,876 --> 01:02:12,116
that is that i didn't think of it from that perspective but

728
01:02:12,116 --> 01:02:17,856
there are and there are a lot of people who like samson uh

729
01:02:17,856 --> 01:02:26,395
are grumpy because we haven't had a god candle and you know i bet you they promised a lot of

730
01:02:26,395 --> 01:02:31,215
people in their life that you know bitcoin was god's money and that the candle was coming

731
01:02:31,215 --> 01:02:33,555
and it hasn't come so they're they're frustrated

732
01:02:33,555 --> 01:02:41,376
yeah i think they just need to check their uh their time preference i think we all would have

733
01:02:41,376 --> 01:02:46,215
thought that uh bitcoin would be a lot higher than it is right now but you know one of the

734
01:02:46,215 --> 01:02:52,275
things that you always got to factor into the scenario is that the rest of the world isn't like

735
01:02:52,275 --> 01:03:00,616
you if you're a pioneer you can't accept the plebs to just up and become pioneers you're you're you're

736
01:03:00,616 --> 01:03:07,215
truly a special individual in a lot of ways yeah and if you uh i think better said before we get to

737
01:03:07,215 --> 01:03:18,775
the boosts is that uh you know when if you make the bitcoin price god he it's very often going to

738
01:03:18,775 --> 01:03:23,256
make you grumpy or try it's gonna it's gonna constantly try to make you grumpy anybody who

739
01:03:23,256 --> 01:03:30,555
makes the price of bitcoin their god is usually more often than not pretty grumpy they get a few

740
01:03:30,555 --> 01:03:35,536
months here and there every couple of years but even let you know if it's not volatile enough

741
01:03:35,536 --> 01:03:40,216
people will still be grumpy even when it's at all-time highs do you think pletitor's made the

742
01:03:40,216 --> 01:03:47,736
price of nakamoto stock has gone naka or uh sequins basically as pletter has made david

743
01:03:47,736 --> 01:03:53,756
daily and swan is gods in bitcoin and they are really letting him down

744
01:03:53,756 --> 01:04:01,055
can't even get a webinar on time same with joseph bachelor holy shit that's that is the

745
01:04:01,055 --> 01:04:04,175
problem with making David Bailey your God.

746
01:04:04,716 --> 01:04:06,075
You're going to be pretty grumpy.

747
01:04:08,016 --> 01:04:09,796
Despite David not being a grumpy guy.

748
01:04:10,135 --> 01:04:10,155
Well,

749
01:04:10,216 --> 01:04:11,996
one of the things I'm really excited about this week,

750
01:04:11,996 --> 01:04:12,496
uh,

751
01:04:12,695 --> 01:04:14,716
before we get it in the fountain boost is,

752
01:04:14,895 --> 01:04:15,135
uh,

753
01:04:15,776 --> 01:04:31,744
plan to interview David Bennett of the uh Bitcoin and podcast He one of my favorite Bitcoin podcasters so i excited for that one very uh huge nostor personality goes by none of your business on nostor oh yeah yeah

754
01:04:31,744 --> 01:04:40,464
good dude good dude that'll be a good one absolute sleeper when it comes to bitcoin podcasting there

755
01:04:40,464 --> 01:04:46,504
there's some real sleeper podcasters like people like to talk about natalie and not to say that

756
01:04:46,504 --> 01:04:54,304
She's not a good podcaster, but people like to talk about Natalie or Preston Pish or Marty.

757
01:04:54,504 --> 01:05:00,844
But there's these guys out there like Dave Bennett that are some of the best in the world that I think deserve a lot more recognition.

758
01:05:02,124 --> 01:05:04,184
But yeah, on to the Fountain Boost.

759
01:05:04,184 --> 01:05:18,024
So I'm excited for that interview because we're going to be able to read Fundamentals rebuttal to your comment about him on the Odell interview.

760
01:05:18,244 --> 01:05:28,524
But first boost from Fundamentals, 10,101 sat says, podcaster life insurance is now in development, pays off and found a boost.

761
01:05:28,644 --> 01:05:29,964
We are unstoppable.

762
01:05:29,964 --> 01:05:31,104
Yeah, yeah.

763
01:05:31,104 --> 01:05:39,584
I had a feeling that our Jewish listeners were going to love skits about insurance.

764
01:05:39,824 --> 01:05:41,344
Those guys love insurance.

765
01:05:43,064 --> 01:05:46,844
Who likes insurance more, boomers or Jews?

766
01:05:48,624 --> 01:05:49,844
Or boomer Jews?

767
01:05:50,884 --> 01:05:53,984
Well, a lot of boomers don't like insurance because it doesn't seem to work for them.

768
01:05:53,984 --> 01:05:56,064
But the Jews love it.

769
01:05:56,244 --> 01:05:58,444
Insurance really usually works out for the Jews.

770
01:05:58,444 --> 01:06:05,084
what do you mean it doesn't work for them uh you know people their house burns down

771
01:06:05,084 --> 01:06:10,424
the government comes in a week before a big fire and they're like oh no uh no insurance coverage

772
01:06:10,424 --> 01:06:16,824
for your house if it burns down in fire then it burns down in fire or no insurance for this storm

773
01:06:16,824 --> 01:06:25,284
or this flood or no insurance for uh you know you this exchange went uh bankrupt and now you have no

774
01:06:25,284 --> 01:06:30,444
insurance on your on your bitcoin or your crypto it's just it doesn't seem to work out when things

775
01:06:30,444 --> 01:06:37,264
go wrong but um in all those instances you know it usually does work out you know for the jews so

776
01:06:37,264 --> 01:06:43,064
they're they i think that they have a pretty good uh respect and they like in the insurance industry

777
01:06:43,064 --> 01:06:48,344
the guy that took out the terrorism insurance on the world trade center before 9-11 he sure likes

778
01:06:48,344 --> 01:06:55,124
insurance yeah again i think the i think the jews really benefited from that situation as well

779
01:06:55,284 --> 01:06:57,864
from an insurance perspective

780
01:06:57,864 --> 01:06:58,824
that it worked out for them.

781
01:07:00,964 --> 01:07:02,604
They just know how to play the game

782
01:07:02,604 --> 01:07:03,744
better than anybody else.

783
01:07:05,304 --> 01:07:06,364
Gotta respect it.

784
01:07:07,184 --> 01:07:08,364
They respect themselves.

785
01:07:08,684 --> 01:07:09,424
I've never met a Jew

786
01:07:09,424 --> 01:07:10,724
that's afraid to put on a suit.

787
01:07:10,824 --> 01:07:11,384
That's for sure.

788
01:07:11,504 --> 01:07:12,264
Well, thank you for the boost,

789
01:07:12,344 --> 01:07:12,824
Fundamentals.

790
01:07:13,664 --> 01:07:14,764
We should all respect ourselves

791
01:07:14,764 --> 01:07:16,104
as much as the Jews respect

792
01:07:16,104 --> 01:07:17,824
themselves.

793
01:07:18,544 --> 01:07:19,764
I think that should be

794
01:07:19,764 --> 01:07:20,984
an aspiration all of us have.

795
01:07:21,084 --> 01:07:21,644
Maybe we'd have,

796
01:07:22,644 --> 01:07:24,304
maybe there'd be less conspiracy theories

797
01:07:24,304 --> 01:07:25,924
if we all respected ourselves as much.

798
01:07:27,484 --> 01:07:29,664
There'd be a lot less complaining about the Jews.

799
01:07:29,824 --> 01:07:30,424
That's for sure.

800
01:07:31,504 --> 01:07:31,764
How are you?

801
01:07:32,004 --> 01:07:35,304
The next one is 5,420 sats.

802
01:07:35,864 --> 01:07:36,744
Friend of the show.

803
01:07:37,624 --> 01:07:38,764
Best coffee shop.

804
01:07:40,204 --> 01:07:42,684
Experienced curator in the industry.

805
01:07:43,224 --> 01:07:43,884
That was a bit mire.

806
01:07:45,104 --> 01:07:46,804
When folks cry out to the government

807
01:07:46,804 --> 01:07:48,904
for more legislation to solve a problem,

808
01:07:49,084 --> 01:07:50,564
I'm reminded of the following wisdom

809
01:07:50,564 --> 01:07:51,924
from our modern prophets.

810
01:07:52,244 --> 01:07:52,944
Run the jewels.

811
01:07:52,944 --> 01:08:00,404
that's a uh that's a band by the way you can probably find them on wave like a funny fact

812
01:08:00,404 --> 01:08:06,324
about a cage they never built for just one group so when that cage is done with them and you're

813
01:08:06,324 --> 01:08:15,524
still poor it come for you the newest lowest on the totem well golly gee you've been used

814
01:08:15,524 --> 01:08:18,324
you helped to fuel the death machine

815
01:08:18,324 --> 01:08:20,524
that down the line will kill you too.

816
01:08:21,004 --> 01:08:21,324
Oops.

817
01:08:23,684 --> 01:08:26,324
They probably delivered those lyrics

818
01:08:26,324 --> 01:08:28,624
a little bit more beautifully

819
01:08:28,624 --> 01:08:31,904
and nicer sounding than I did,

820
01:08:31,904 --> 01:08:35,804
but run the jewels.

821
01:08:35,944 --> 01:08:38,224
I mean, they spit facts.

822
01:08:40,804 --> 01:08:42,284
I've never heard of this band.

823
01:08:44,124 --> 01:08:44,564
Interesting.

824
01:08:44,564 --> 01:08:47,084
I think you'd like run the jewel

825
01:08:47,084 --> 01:08:48,644
it is

826
01:08:48,644 --> 01:08:49,464
you know

827
01:08:49,464 --> 01:08:52,884
I wouldn't say exactly hip hop

828
01:08:52,884 --> 01:08:55,084
but it's pretty much a hip hop group

829
01:08:55,084 --> 01:08:56,864
and they don't just sing about

830
01:08:56,864 --> 01:08:58,924
CIA

831
01:08:58,924 --> 01:09:00,904
psyops about you know drugs

832
01:09:00,904 --> 01:09:02,884
and ditty parties they usually have

833
01:09:02,884 --> 01:09:03,244
a

834
01:09:03,244 --> 01:09:06,864
more thermodynamically

835
01:09:06,864 --> 01:09:08,584
sound message

836
01:09:08,584 --> 01:09:12,684
I'll make sure to check them out right after this

837
01:09:12,684 --> 01:09:21,284
i love otis big fan otis otis and i are concocting some plans we're scheming so uh

838
01:09:21,284 --> 01:09:25,844
hopefully we'll have some announcements in the future some cool things to talk about but yeah

839
01:09:25,844 --> 01:09:32,264
but yeah i forgot run the jewels uh that's the lead singer's killer mike who is uh he's a big

840
01:09:32,264 --> 01:09:39,364
i think we talked about that with uh toonster with toonster mike interesting next boost od

841
01:09:39,364 --> 01:09:41,524
40 HPW 2100

842
01:09:41,524 --> 01:09:42,084
says

843
01:09:42,084 --> 01:09:45,544
Ozumbic killed the body positive

844
01:09:45,544 --> 01:09:47,744
movement not the fat

845
01:09:47,744 --> 01:09:49,684
jokes cancel all cancel

846
01:09:49,684 --> 01:09:50,184
culture

847
01:09:50,184 --> 01:09:53,564
that's still

848
01:09:53,564 --> 01:09:55,484
you know this is the problem with purity

849
01:09:55,484 --> 01:09:57,724
tests is even when you try to have

850
01:09:57,724 --> 01:09:59,584
like the anti purity

851
01:09:59,584 --> 01:10:01,584
tests it still becomes a purity test

852
01:10:01,584 --> 01:10:02,224
so

853
01:10:02,224 --> 01:10:05,284
you can't cancel all

854
01:10:05,284 --> 01:10:06,844
culture and

855
01:10:06,844 --> 01:10:09,544
like I said, you want to play to win or do you want

856
01:10:09,544 --> 01:10:11,344
to win purity tests?

857
01:10:12,084 --> 01:10:13,464
And I do

858
01:10:13,464 --> 01:10:15,544
get the sentiment, but

859
01:10:15,544 --> 01:10:17,424
it's just another pitfall. Even

860
01:10:17,424 --> 01:10:19,744
with good intentions, you still

861
01:10:19,744 --> 01:10:21,384
fall into the purity test trap.

862
01:10:23,404 --> 01:10:23,884
Yeah.

863
01:10:24,784 --> 01:10:25,464
You know,

864
01:10:25,584 --> 01:10:28,024
I've witnessed this interesting phenomenon

865
01:10:28,024 --> 01:10:29,844
where

866
01:10:29,844 --> 01:10:32,044
you know,

867
01:10:32,064 --> 01:10:33,204
when I was getting my credentials,

868
01:10:33,624 --> 01:10:34,924
there were these

869
01:10:34,924 --> 01:10:37,864
street preachers that would go out there

870
01:10:37,864 --> 01:10:39,664
and they would say things that were

871
01:10:39,664 --> 01:10:41,624
kind of offensive to people. They would say like

872
01:10:41,624 --> 01:10:43,704
they're going to hell. They'd yell at

873
01:10:43,704 --> 01:10:45,584
women and they'd be like, hey, if you're wearing

874
01:10:45,584 --> 01:10:47,584
yoga pants, you're going to hell or you're a

875
01:10:47,584 --> 01:10:49,164
slut. And

876
01:10:49,164 --> 01:10:51,444
these

877
01:10:51,444 --> 01:10:53,884
people

878
01:10:53,884 --> 01:10:55,764
would like go around

879
01:10:55,764 --> 01:10:56,544
them in a crowd

880
01:10:56,544 --> 01:10:59,684
and freak out at

881
01:10:59,684 --> 01:11:01,624
them and like yell at them as to why

882
01:11:01,624 --> 01:11:02,324
they were wrong.

883
01:11:02,324 --> 01:11:09,384
and what would always happen is they would you know end up on the news or you know they get a

884
01:11:09,384 --> 01:11:16,044
lot more attention as a result of everybody standing around them and i think this is the

885
01:11:16,044 --> 01:11:26,844
importance isn't to go and uh you know screech at you know the cancel culture people as to why

886
01:11:26,844 --> 01:11:33,404
they're wrong uh but to just do something better with your time

887
01:11:33,404 --> 01:11:43,524
cancel the attention that you are paying to them yeah cancel your disney subscription

888
01:11:43,524 --> 01:11:49,584
cancel your netflix subscription cancel your wall street journal subscription cancel your

889
01:11:49,584 --> 01:11:56,404
subscription to jameson lop's uh twitter page cancel your subscription to the cast and steams

890
01:11:56,844 --> 01:11:59,524
Cancel your subscription to their content.

891
01:12:00,124 --> 01:12:01,724
Just move on.

892
01:12:01,804 --> 01:12:03,864
You don't have to make better content than them.

893
01:12:04,184 --> 01:12:05,404
You don't have to.

894
01:12:05,524 --> 01:12:07,404
You don't have to listen to better content.

895
01:12:07,864 --> 01:12:11,544
You just have to pay attention to something else.

896
01:12:12,044 --> 01:12:16,724
Preferably something that is worth your time.

897
01:12:17,124 --> 01:12:21,564
That is more befitting of a Bitcoin podcast listener's time.

898
01:12:21,884 --> 01:12:23,964
Engage in pioneer activities for sure.

899
01:12:24,584 --> 01:12:26,524
Value for value activities.

900
01:12:26,524 --> 01:12:27,364
Very well said.

901
01:12:28,224 --> 01:12:29,244
Well, thanks for the boost, Odie.

902
01:12:29,944 --> 01:12:30,464
Yeah, Odie.

903
01:12:30,944 --> 01:12:31,344
Enjoy.

904
01:12:32,064 --> 01:12:34,324
I think you're like up there in Norway or something.

905
01:12:34,464 --> 01:12:35,424
It's cold as fuck.

906
01:12:36,264 --> 01:12:36,904
Pretty woke.

907
01:12:37,844 --> 01:12:38,504
But you're still positive.

908
01:12:38,624 --> 01:12:42,324
Not even the Norse gods can make Odie grumpy.

909
01:12:42,644 --> 01:12:42,904
Hell yeah.

910
01:12:43,764 --> 01:12:45,544
The next one is from Jason C.

911
01:12:46,104 --> 01:12:47,244
Back on the chain.

912
01:12:47,684 --> 01:12:48,404
The fish guy.

913
01:12:49,384 --> 01:12:49,704
Build.

914
01:12:49,984 --> 01:12:52,484
He based at 1,221 sats.

915
01:12:52,484 --> 01:12:55,744
He says, build, deliver, heal, repeat.

916
01:12:55,744 --> 01:12:58,324
pioneers will win hashtag

917
01:12:58,324 --> 01:12:59,564
40 hours per week

918
01:12:59,564 --> 01:13:02,024
exactly build

919
01:13:02,024 --> 01:13:04,384
deliver heal repeat

920
01:13:04,384 --> 01:13:06,284
pioneers the steps

921
01:13:06,284 --> 01:13:08,044
to you know some of the steps to being a pioneer

922
01:13:08,044 --> 01:13:09,364
uh

923
01:13:09,364 --> 01:13:12,424
and we will win absolutely

924
01:13:12,424 --> 01:13:14,704
pies

925
01:13:14,704 --> 01:13:18,344
121

926
01:13:18,344 --> 01:13:20,284
sat says can I teach a

927
01:13:20,284 --> 01:13:34,853
class at Bitcoin University on how to make sure you get in your 40 HPW That an interesting proposal You know Pies I don know if you have the credentials to be like a tenured professor

928
01:13:34,993 --> 01:13:37,833
but maybe there's an adjunct position there for you.

929
01:13:38,313 --> 01:13:42,593
I think it's worthwhile.

930
01:13:43,793 --> 01:13:49,613
I think it'd be a great adjunct professor to like go to outreach to correctional facilities,

931
01:13:49,613 --> 01:13:57,013
state prisons and you know spread bitcoin universities he's named university of bitcoin

932
01:13:57,013 --> 01:14:05,173
education uh and curriculum to the people who i think were the message his message would resonate

933
01:14:05,173 --> 01:14:14,053
the most soundly that's a good idea yeah i mean i would take class from pies somebody somebody

934
01:14:14,053 --> 01:14:21,533
that listens to as many podcasts as he does the the proof of work is there even i'd love to see

935
01:14:21,533 --> 01:14:27,593
i'd love to see a conversation between goldstein and pies that's like a very similar high energy

936
01:14:27,593 --> 01:14:34,433
and optimism that i think would be an interesting uh you know drinking bread siu coiners and the

937
01:14:34,433 --> 01:14:40,913
blue collar pleads uh blue collar pioneers excuse me uh they really it'd be really interesting

938
01:14:40,913 --> 01:14:47,253
it would be that'd be fascinating i'd love to be a flight that that's a conversation worth

939
01:14:47,253 --> 01:14:53,673
having as a podcast for sure next one is uh 101 sats from the oscar dang pioneer chain

940
01:14:53,673 --> 01:15:03,053
hashtag pioneer chain thank you noscar dang so the mean gangs were all on twitter last cycle

941
01:15:03,053 --> 01:15:08,133
are they going to be on noster this cycle we're going to see some some mean gangs on nosters that

942
01:15:08,133 --> 01:15:09,233
what Nostra gang is?

943
01:15:10,133 --> 01:15:11,873
I think a little bit.

944
01:15:12,053 --> 01:15:13,413
It kind of reminds me of like Bellator.

945
01:15:13,753 --> 01:15:15,173
Some of the retired memers

946
01:15:15,173 --> 01:15:18,793
kind of take in their meme gang,

947
01:15:19,553 --> 01:15:19,813
you know,

948
01:15:20,533 --> 01:15:21,253
their black belt

949
01:15:21,253 --> 01:15:22,273
and being a meme ganger,

950
01:15:22,713 --> 01:15:23,673
taking it to Nostra

951
01:15:23,673 --> 01:15:27,793
and helping grow that network.

952
01:15:29,053 --> 01:15:30,093
Very interesting.

953
01:15:31,293 --> 01:15:32,933
Thank you, Nostra gang.

954
01:15:34,553 --> 01:15:36,673
Then it looks like the last boost

955
01:15:36,673 --> 01:15:38,633
from BTC on board,

956
01:15:38,793 --> 01:15:39,533
100 sats,

957
01:15:39,733 --> 01:15:40,993
three thumbs up emojis.

958
01:15:41,233 --> 01:15:41,553
Folks,

959
01:15:42,053 --> 01:15:43,413
I hope you have a good week.

960
01:15:44,633 --> 01:15:44,793
Yeah.

961
01:15:45,613 --> 01:15:45,893
I,

962
01:15:45,993 --> 01:15:48,613
to reiterate what we talked about,

963
01:15:49,073 --> 01:15:50,793
maybe the last few episodes,

964
01:15:50,953 --> 01:15:52,513
the last few streams,

965
01:15:52,633 --> 01:15:53,013
we've done,

966
01:15:53,073 --> 01:15:54,093
I've done a little bit heavy,

967
01:15:54,093 --> 01:15:56,093
but don't mistake weight

968
01:15:56,633 --> 01:15:57,713
for not being bullish.

969
01:15:57,893 --> 01:15:59,213
We're extremely bullish.

970
01:15:59,453 --> 01:16:00,233
We're not grumpy.

971
01:16:00,733 --> 01:16:01,813
And I think,

972
01:16:01,913 --> 01:16:03,213
as I kind of said

973
01:16:03,213 --> 01:16:04,573
at the beginning of the episode,

974
01:16:04,853 --> 01:16:06,433
it's very hard

975
01:16:06,433 --> 01:16:12,793
to really talk about all this conflict in the bitcoin community anymore without without bullying

976
01:16:12,793 --> 01:16:19,453
one side or the other for me at least and you know that may make me come off as grumpy or just mean to

977
01:16:19,453 --> 01:16:24,533
the plaids and i know i'm done with that so i think i've had there's nothing more i have to

978
01:16:24,533 --> 01:16:31,913
really say in the debate um i want to focus on i'm going to focus my time and my attention on uh

979
01:16:31,913 --> 01:16:37,373
on being gleeful and focusing my time on takes i find productive

980
01:16:37,373 --> 01:16:47,253
looking forward to it i want to do the same that seems like a great take to have right now i mean

981
01:16:47,253 --> 01:16:54,273
it's we're in the fourth turning things are going to be difficult regardless and

982
01:16:54,273 --> 01:16:59,953
the title of last week's show was life isn't gonna be easy life

983
01:16:59,953 --> 01:17:02,593
isn't going to be easy, but it doesn't mean

984
01:17:02,593 --> 01:17:03,853
that it has to be miserable.

985
01:17:06,193 --> 01:17:06,393
And...

986
01:17:06,393 --> 01:17:06,653
Yeah.

987
01:17:08,413 --> 01:17:10,533
Our enemies are going to be...

988
01:17:10,533 --> 01:17:10,953
Oh, go ahead.

989
01:17:11,793 --> 01:17:12,893
I was going to say, you like...

990
01:17:12,893 --> 01:17:16,753
I talked about this on Plead Chain Radio recently.

991
01:17:17,353 --> 01:17:18,593
And we talked about this with

992
01:17:18,593 --> 01:17:20,673
Paper Bitcoin Summer as it pertains to

993
01:17:20,673 --> 01:17:22,673
Pleaditor and how he found him on Noster

994
01:17:22,673 --> 01:17:24,633
to tell him to

995
01:17:24,633 --> 01:17:26,873
join us for Paper Bitcoin. At this point,

996
01:17:27,793 --> 01:17:28,493
it is,

997
01:17:28,673 --> 01:17:29,733
we've figured out

998
01:17:29,733 --> 01:17:37,513
that it's impossible not to be able to find some money and spam their mood and troll them

999
01:17:37,513 --> 01:17:45,293
and annoy them and call them a retard and pick a flight with them um and just scold them tell

1000
01:17:45,293 --> 01:17:54,633
them how many purity tests they failed but um you you just don't have to let it make you grumpy

1001
01:17:54,633 --> 01:17:56,753
anymore. You just have to learn how to

1002
01:17:56,753 --> 01:17:58,413
just because

1003
01:17:58,413 --> 01:18:00,753
you have to turn it around for yourself

1004
01:18:00,753 --> 01:18:02,993
just because it's cheap to spam your enemies

1005
01:18:02,993 --> 01:18:04,393
spam your

1006
01:18:04,393 --> 01:18:05,973
spam the pledge.

1007
01:18:07,313 --> 01:18:08,613
It's not worth your time.

1008
01:18:10,153 --> 01:18:11,013
It's not worth

1009
01:18:11,013 --> 01:18:11,853
my time anyway.

1010
01:18:14,433 --> 01:18:15,313
Well said.

1011
01:18:16,313 --> 01:18:17,133
Well folks

1012
01:18:17,133 --> 01:18:18,593
I hope you have a great

1013
01:18:18,593 --> 01:18:21,293
great week this week.

1014
01:18:22,373 --> 01:18:23,113
I hope

1015
01:18:23,113 --> 01:18:25,153
you spend time with the people that you love.

1016
01:18:26,793 --> 01:18:28,873
I hope you do the things that you want.

1017
01:18:29,773 --> 01:18:30,953
I hope that you

1018
01:18:30,953 --> 01:18:32,933
have the ability to

1019
01:18:32,933 --> 01:18:34,713
smoke a lot of cigarettes,

1020
01:18:35,213 --> 01:18:36,413
listen to the Bitcoin podcast

1021
01:18:36,413 --> 01:18:37,793
that you like.

1022
01:18:39,553 --> 01:18:41,053
Enjoy sports ball if you like it.

1023
01:18:42,273 --> 01:18:43,013
If you like

1024
01:18:43,013 --> 01:18:44,813
sports ball, enjoy your sports ball.

1025
01:18:45,013 --> 01:18:46,313
Enjoy the things that you want.

1026
01:18:47,433 --> 01:18:49,013
They might not always be there.

1027
01:18:49,013 --> 01:18:50,873
Folks, thank you for tuning in

1028
01:18:50,873 --> 01:18:53,013
to another edition of the Weekly.

1029
01:18:53,113 --> 01:18:55,333
and we'll catch you next week.

1030
01:18:55,333 --> 01:18:58,813
There are those who blaze trails

1031
01:18:58,813 --> 01:19:02,233
whose actions tip history scales

1032
01:19:02,233 --> 01:19:05,193
They endure pain and frustration

1033
01:19:05,193 --> 01:19:08,333
To prepare for the common devastation

1034
01:19:08,873 --> 01:19:12,493
Weak men of May, time's hard

1035
01:19:12,493 --> 01:19:15,753
The plebs are being retards

1036
01:19:15,753 --> 01:19:20,193
But the pioneer is in charge

1037
01:19:20,193 --> 01:19:22,913
The pioneers are in charge

1038
01:19:22,913 --> 01:19:35,913
Pioneers are in shock

1039
01:19:35,913 --> 01:19:48,913
Pioneers are in shock

1040
01:19:52,913 --> 01:20:15,753
Even their minds, they stand tall

1041
01:20:15,753 --> 01:20:18,873
Moving forward while the masses feel small

1042
01:20:18,873 --> 01:20:21,673
Creating change while others are afraid

1043
01:20:21,673 --> 01:20:25,453
Choosing to lead instead of obey

1044
01:20:25,453 --> 01:20:29,333
Weak men have made times hurt

1045
01:20:29,333 --> 01:20:32,593
The plebs are being returged

1046
01:20:32,593 --> 01:20:36,933
But the pioneer is in charge

1047
01:20:36,933 --> 01:20:39,813
Pioneers are in charge

1048
01:20:39,813 --> 01:20:52,973
Pioneers are in charge

1049
01:21:05,393 --> 01:21:07,733
There's a small remnant that is scattered

1050
01:21:07,733 --> 01:21:11,153
They rebuild when everything shatters

1051
01:21:11,153 --> 01:21:14,353
They have a vision and a goal

1052
01:21:14,353 --> 01:21:17,173
And will never be controlled

1053
01:21:17,173 --> 01:21:20,533
Weak men made times hard

1054
01:21:20,533 --> 01:21:23,753
The plebs are being retards

1055
01:21:23,753 --> 01:21:28,233
But the pioneer is in charge

1056
01:21:28,233 --> 01:21:31,073
Pioneers are in charge

1057
01:21:37,733 --> 01:21:44,053
Pioneers are in charge

1058
01:21:44,053 --> 01:21:59,853
The masses stare at their screens

1059
01:21:59,853 --> 01:22:06,073
While the pioneers pursue their dreams

1060
01:22:06,073 --> 01:22:13,173
Unswayed by the whims of NPCs

1061
01:22:13,173 --> 01:22:18,833
They are the ones the world needs
