What is your assessment of what's going on here and what are people 12 00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:58,820 sniffing out? Yeah. And it's, it's the, uh, the positives and the negatives of social media, 13 00:00:58,820 --> 00:01:02,600 right? I mean, part of this is we get to see what's going on all around the world now 14 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,760 instantaneously because of social, social, social media. So it's lighting people's brains on fire. 15 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,840 They're getting emotional at the same time. There's, there's obviously massive things going 16 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,560 on. You know, we were just talking offline, uh, about the wars going on and what's happening 17 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,840 and whether you like it or not or whatever it is, 18 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,460 there's real power and there's abstract power. 19 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,580 And Trump's showing everyone that that's the game. 20 00:01:25,660 --> 00:01:26,040 It doesn't matter. 21 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,560 There is no blind justice. 22 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,060 There's 10 tiers of justice right now. 23 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,240 And whatever we think about it, 24 00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:35,300 international law and all these different things, 25 00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:35,960 they don't exist. 26 00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:37,280 Tony mentioned this offline. 27 00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:39,520 If no one's enforcing the laws, then it doesn't matter. 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,200 And I think that's what people are sniffing out 29 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,780 at the end of the day. 30 00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:44,520 They're realizing that these systems are all corrupt 31 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,960 because they're corrupted by fiat. 32 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:47,900 and that's the genesis of all this. 33 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,600 So it's frustrating as a Bitcoiner 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,700 because at the end of the day, 35 00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:52,900 we wanna get to the root core of the problem 36 00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:56,860 and get the cancer out and disinfect that area. 37 00:01:56,940 --> 00:01:58,840 But most people are trying to put Band-Aids on bullet holes 38 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,180 and that's why the fear keeps going up. 39 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,940 As a Bitcoiner, your fear is way lower. 40 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,020 Your stress and anxiety is way lower living in Bitcoin 41 00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:10,480 and seeing the lens of society through that Bitcoin lens. 42 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,800 So are we human? 43 00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:14,440 Do we still be fearful at times? 44 00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:14,860 Of course, 45 00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:19,560 but Bitcoin just puts a different perspective and you see everything way differently than this. 46 00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:23,000 I mean, this is a very fiat poll, like you were just kind of laughing about where, 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,100 yes, are there real things happening? Of course there are, but this is because of fiat. Make no 48 00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:34,240 mistake. Fiat has incentivized all of this chaos, has created all the malincentive and has created 49 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,660 the just-in-time shipping and worrying about the straight-up horror moves and all these dumb 50 00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:42,920 things that have been had, the petrodollar, the breaking of the dollar in 71. All these dumb 51 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:47,440 things they've done is because we haven't backed our currency by anything real. And so it creates 52 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,220 these dumb incentives, these dumb backroom deals. And this just perpetuates on itself over time. 53 00:02:52,220 --> 00:02:56,760 And even though a lot of people don't understand the true core problem, like we just mentioned, 54 00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:01,800 they can see that there's things breaking all over the place. And that to me is really culminates 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,140 in this, in this poll right here. You know, the craziest thing is I think most people who are, 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,540 who are sharing that they feel the world is very uncertain at this moment, 57 00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:14,780 aren't even factoring in things that were sort of yesterday's news. 58 00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,780 No one's talking about the war in Ukraine anymore. 59 00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:18,520 No one's talking about tariffs anymore. 60 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,340 Like all of those things are, these are balls in the air. 61 00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:21,720 Yeah. 62 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,420 The Somalian daycare centers, like none of that stuff is even accounted for, 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,080 at least from my perspective in this news. 64 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,980 It's the immediate in front of us, straight of Hormuz. 65 00:03:35,140 --> 00:03:36,320 It's the war in Iran. 66 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,100 But Tony, what's your take on all of this? 67 00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:46,520 man where to begin explaining all of this i think i think you know if you really want to sum it up 68 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,660 why these numbers are so high why the uncertainty index is that guinness world record numbers 69 00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:59,720 is because i think the uh delusion of you know this only happens in other places has finally 70 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:06,360 been shattered to everybody around the planet and uh no matter where you look now there's a disaster 71 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,460 looming over your head and people are starting to feel it. 72 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,300 And because, you know, they've always lived, 73 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,080 sheltered the lives, you know, 74 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,620 seeing, viewing the world through these rose-colored lenses. 75 00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:18,560 Well, now these lenses are broken 76 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,980 and now they're panicking because they don't know what to do. 77 00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:26,000 They go into a store, they can't afford it. 78 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,440 They think they're living in a safe country, 79 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,020 a drone drops a bomb over their head. 80 00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:33,500 They go left, there's a problem. 81 00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:35,260 They go right, there's another problem. 82 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:42,760 And so, you know, it's like, you know, you have these chickens scrambling all over the place with no attention span, no knowledge and no direction. 83 00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:47,220 And so, of course, you know, instinctively, fear dominates everything. 84 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:54,560 And this becomes a very, very big problem because then you are relying on people acting on instinct. 85 00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:58,520 I've, you know, I've mentioned this countless times that I've lived through this. 86 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,560 It's not a pretty picture, man. 87 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:15,340 In fact, it's one of the most dangerous situations you can find yourself in because you literally need to expect the unexpected, sometimes from folks that you least expect it from, you know, people that you've grown up with your entire life. 88 00:05:15,580 --> 00:05:16,500 It's just gone crazy. 89 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:29,260 And so all this links back again, you know, like you mentioned, Brandon, to the broken money and the delusion of having some sort of, you know, justice system in this world. 90 00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:33,980 That's also gone down the toilet because clearly there is no law. 91 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,520 If somebody breaks into a store and steals something, what usually happens? 92 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,440 They get caught, they get arrested, they go to jail. 93 00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:47,640 You've got organizations that have bankrupted the entire planet. 94 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,320 What's happened to these people? 95 00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:53,320 Nothing. 96 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,320 Absolutely nothing. 97 00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,160 You've got these same people responsible for crimes on humanity. 98 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,080 What's happening to these people? 99 00:06:03,140 --> 00:06:04,440 It's not like nobody knows who they are. 100 00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:06,120 Everybody knows who they are. 101 00:06:07,260 --> 00:06:08,600 But there's no reaction. 102 00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:11,760 Except, oh my God, what am I going to do? 103 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:12,740 My money is dead. 104 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,460 I can't buy anything. 105 00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:15,020 There's a rocket that blew up next door. 106 00:06:17,380 --> 00:06:21,060 That's how the world is handling a crisis. 107 00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:27,380 that's not the way you solve problems man tony it's completely true here's the interesting thing 108 00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:30,700 i always wonder when i look at something like this i just think about my personal life 109 00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:37,320 and to what degree is this level of uncertainty that people feel understated because people again 110 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,580 people in my personal life know that i'm interested in this stuff they know that as part of my work i 111 00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:45,780 follow along with a lot of these things even even if i'm not diving deep deep deep into the weeds 112 00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:52,780 and no one's talking to me about what are gas prices going to be in two weeks. We're going to 113 00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:58,300 talk about that in a minute with one of Simon Dixon's recent tweets. But I think a lot of people 114 00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:05,080 aren't really... Tony, I'll speak from a US perspective. Many people are like, this is crazy, 115 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:10,360 don't know what's going on, don't know if I support this war or not, but it always feels so 116 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,700 far removed from much of the West because it's not happening on our soil. And so I suspect if 117 00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:21,080 people could really understand what's happening in the world and the potential implications of it, 118 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,380 they would be much more uncertain and much more panicked. And it might drive them into something 119 00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:31,840 like Bitcoin. That's the thing. It's like you have to add for now to your statement.

And, you know, you'll learn on the job and this and 190 00:12:00,290 --> 00:12:03,670 that. And it was just like questioning everything. Like, well, why am I here? You know, I was very 191 00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:07,670 fortunate that I had a scholarship to play hockey or else I really would have been mad. You know, 192 00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:12,170 what am I paying for? So I can't imagine people that are in debt right now, you know, all these, 193 00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:16,270 the things they've been sold, sold down the river because of fiat. Like we've been talking about 194 00:12:16,270 --> 00:12:20,510 all show and what happens when you have a fake currency and you know, the system's been playing 195 00:12:20,510 --> 00:12:23,930 with you and we're at the hockey stick part of the curve. So I started going down the road of money 196 00:12:23,930 --> 00:12:25,170 of like, what is money actually? 197 00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:26,230 Like, where, where does it come from? 198 00:12:26,290 --> 00:12:28,230 Like, what does the government really create money? 199 00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:30,130 Like what, you know, monetary history, gold and silver, 200 00:12:30,130 --> 00:12:31,950 all these different things that led me down the path 201 00:12:31,950 --> 00:12:35,030 eventually to Bitcoin and the hardest money to ever exist. 202 00:12:35,170 --> 00:12:36,790 And we're the hockey stick part of the curve. 203 00:12:36,890 --> 00:12:39,370 I mean, back 20 years ago, I mean, you guys remember, 204 00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:41,470 like we were at five, 6 trillion, 7, 8 trillion, 205 00:12:41,530 --> 00:12:43,090 I think in US debt. 206 00:12:43,150 --> 00:12:44,450 Now we're at 39 trillion. 207 00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:47,050 That's only 17 years ago, you know, 18 years ago. 208 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:51,310 I mean, it is, it is, our brains can't even process 209 00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:52,350 the exponential function. 210 00:12:52,350 --> 00:12:56,710 and so people think this is gonna like slow down and to your guys point i believe we're gonna go 211 00:12:56,710 --> 00:13:01,210 into financial repression i'm like they're going to print because the the social pressure will be 212 00:13:01,210 --> 00:13:05,110 to look i mean student loan stuff all these different things will be to bail people out 213 00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:09,670 15 years ago we were trying to um you know people actually got thrown out of their homes i remember 214 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:13,210 moving one of my family members out of their home they had built because they were in the housing 215 00:13:13,210 --> 00:13:18,290 industry architect in the housing industry and when that crashed i had to help them move out of 216 00:13:18,290 --> 00:13:24,550 their baby, like, you know, and my cousins. So like, I felt that impact from, you know, through 217 00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:29,250 them. And so seeing that happen, this stuff, I think the social pressure is going to be so huge 218 00:13:29,250 --> 00:13:34,250 to, you know, put, you know, blame on the banks purposely, because then it'll just be more bailouts, 219 00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:39,010 bail-ins, you know, things that Tony has waxed poetically about and has firsthand experience 220 00:13:39,010 --> 00:13:42,890 about for so long. And we've seen this in many countries around the world. So you're going to 221 00:13:42,890 --> 00:13:47,250 have massive printing going forward. I mean, this is where the government, I think it was a CBO, 222 00:13:47,250 --> 00:13:52,990 So they published a thing just recently that said the government debt is going to be $63 trillion in the next 10 years. 223 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:56,670 And that's the government admitting it's going to be up 40%, 50%. 224 00:13:56,670 --> 00:14:00,930 And that's, of course, conservative, not including black swans, any more wars. 225 00:14:01,830 --> 00:14:04,710 So it's probably going to be $100 trillion in 10 years from now. 226 00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:07,710 And so your money loses, what, another 100%? 227 00:14:07,970 --> 00:14:11,130 It goes down 99% from here just in 10 years from now. 228 00:14:11,290 --> 00:14:14,770 And it seems hard to believe, but it's because we're at the exponential part of the curve. 229 00:14:15,270 --> 00:14:16,870 And so I do think it'll be financial oppression. 230 00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:17,530 You're just going to be printed. 231 00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:19,410 You're going to get your social security. 232 00:14:19,610 --> 00:14:21,510 You're going to get your pension or whatever it was owed, 233 00:14:21,610 --> 00:14:23,710 the grand a month or two grand a month. 234 00:14:23,830 --> 00:14:25,210 It's going to buy you a loaf of bread 235 00:14:25,210 --> 00:14:28,430 if you're just saving in dollars and US fiat cuck bucks. 236 00:14:28,910 --> 00:14:29,990 And so you're going to lose hard, 237 00:14:30,210 --> 00:14:31,970 but we kept our promise to you. 238 00:14:32,010 --> 00:14:33,010 The United States government kept the promise. 239 00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:33,850 They gave you the 2000. 240 00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:34,830 They said they're going to give you. 241 00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:36,810 It just buys you some raisin bread, 242 00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:37,990 maybe one loaf of it. 243 00:14:38,270 --> 00:14:38,990 The math is the math. 244 00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:42,290 And so I can't tell you, I can't comment on, 245 00:14:42,390 --> 00:14:43,930 and the reason I brought up some of my history too 246 00:14:43,930 --> 00:14:46,650 is because I thought that was the end of the game 17 years ago. 247 00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:48,350 So I love the Quath the Raven too. 248 00:14:48,450 --> 00:14:49,290 He's an awesome guy. 249 00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:51,990 He's a Bitcoiner now as of the last few years. 250 00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:53,410 And so he gets it. 251 00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:55,030 He's much smarter than I am with the math, 252 00:14:55,330 --> 00:14:56,910 but we know where the end game goes. 253 00:14:57,010 --> 00:14:57,890 And I always try to say, 254 00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:59,350 keep the main thing the main thing. 255 00:14:59,410 --> 00:15:01,050 The average person doesn't need to be Luke Roman 256 00:15:01,050 --> 00:15:02,150 or Quath the Raven, 257 00:15:02,250 --> 00:15:03,430 all these guys who are brilliant 258 00:15:03,430 --> 00:15:04,470 and have been doing it for decades. 259 00:15:04,670 --> 00:15:06,070 You just need to stack Bitcoin. 260 00:15:06,210 --> 00:15:07,610 You need to provide more to society 261 00:15:07,610 --> 00:15:08,590 than you actually spend, 262 00:15:08,950 --> 00:15:10,750 saving the hardest money to ever exist 263 00:15:10,750 --> 00:15:12,110 and sleep well night, 264 00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:12,870 spend time with your family, 265 00:15:12,970 --> 00:15:14,330 touch grass and do things 266 00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:15,430 that actually move society forward. 267 00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:16,790 That's the promise of Bitcoin. 268 00:15:16,870 --> 00:15:20,470 You don't have to be a hedge fund trader and worry really about it. 269 00:15:20,530 --> 00:15:22,190 You know, we talk about it because that's part of our job. 270 00:15:22,190 --> 00:15:25,410 But the average person just has to provide value and stack in Bitcoin. 271 00:15:25,490 --> 00:15:28,850 And you are going to do much better than the average person going forward. 272 00:15:28,950 --> 00:15:29,630 That's for sure, I'm sure. 273 00:15:30,630 --> 00:15:31,470 Prudent advice. 274 00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:31,970 Absolutely. 275 00:15:32,490 --> 00:15:35,530 Well, we've got a little bit more bad news and we've got some good news coming up, everyone. 276 00:15:35,730 --> 00:15:39,010 By the way, don't forget, stay tuned for the donkey of the week here at the end. 277 00:15:39,010 --> 00:15:47,850 But so Daily Mail shared that diesel shortages within weeks, as experts warn energy shock will be worse than the 1970s, which I wasn't there. 278 00:15:47,950 --> 00:15:51,350 But as I understand it, very bad, very problematic, long lines. 279 00:15:51,870 --> 00:15:54,530 And Simon Dixon says you will own nothing and be happy. 280 00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:56,770 Wait till you see how they weaponize this crisis. 281 00:15:57,410 --> 00:15:58,990 Obviously, they're going to weaponize a crisis. 282 00:15:59,230 --> 00:16:02,410 I don't know his base case for how exactly, but I know they're going to. 283 00:16:02,490 --> 00:16:03,150 That's what they do. 284 00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:05,990 But, Tony, this is a this is a big deal. 285 00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:08,730 I mean, diesel fuels the world, right?

If you want anything showing up on shelves anywhere, it's diesel. And never mind the obvious implications on gas prices for people just trying to get around, airlines flying, any of that sort of stuff. What's your take on Simon's comment here? 287 00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:44,150 Well, I believe them. I mean, I can't speculate exactly what they're going to do. But, you know, if the last five years were any indication, you can have a pretty good idea of how bad it could possibly get. Because, you know, when people are desperate, they go to extremes, right? 288 00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:56,730 The difference with this one is that this one is affecting people's ability to eat, ability to save, ability to buy basic goods, ability to move around. 289 00:16:57,550 --> 00:17:03,570 I don't know what the patient's level globally for something like this. 290 00:17:03,570 --> 00:17:07,370 Should it happen, how long it will be. 291 00:17:07,370 --> 00:17:16,530 I think this could very well be the tipping point of an extremely ugly revolt everywhere. 292 00:17:17,430 --> 00:17:24,650 And of course, some people will say, well, they expect you to revolt so that they can come in with even tighter draconian measures. 293 00:17:25,630 --> 00:17:30,090 But I don't know if this game is going to play out the same way this time around. 294 00:17:30,290 --> 00:17:34,550 I think enough people are aware of what really is going on. 295 00:17:34,550 --> 00:17:37,730 The truth is a lot more prevalent these days. 296 00:17:38,550 --> 00:17:43,590 And if COVID failed because enough good people stood up and put an end to it, 297 00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:48,330 I think this time around there's going to be a lot more of these good people 298 00:17:48,330 --> 00:17:51,450 hopefully doing the same thing should it get worse. 299 00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:52,550 I'm hoping it doesn't. 300 00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:59,970 But historically speaking, you cannot continue expecting this form of abuse 301 00:17:59,970 --> 00:18:03,610 to simply go away on its own over a conversation. 302 00:18:03,610 --> 00:18:10,730 this type of abuse must be ended you know once and for all by uh people who have had enough 303 00:18:10,730 --> 00:18:15,710 and tony there's no other way to fix this hopefully a lot more bitcoiners now than there 304 00:18:15,710 --> 00:18:20,710 were six years ago as well people who are not dependent on the money and don't need the ubi 305 00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:26,510 check and don't need the handouts and everything in a way that i think if we obviously we didn't 306 00:18:26,510 --> 00:18:30,930 have bitcoin you kind of have to walk into that prison cell and just hope they treated you well 307 00:18:30,930 --> 00:18:33,990 but now you have that opt out. Brandon, what do you think? 308 00:18:34,890 --> 00:18:38,130 Yeah. And, and this is why I partially brought up my story too. 309 00:18:38,210 --> 00:18:42,150 And that's the 2012 election was my kind of inflection point in my life, 310 00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:46,390 you know, really. So Oh nine, all at 2012, you had Obamacare, you know, 311 00:18:46,410 --> 00:18:48,070 affordable care act, you know, whatever you want to call it, 312 00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:51,090 but a government getting in bed with the free market and distorting free market. 313 00:18:51,170 --> 00:18:54,490 You had the bailouts of huge companies here in America still happening today. 314 00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:56,890 Government buying Intel, you know, in bed of Palantir, 315 00:18:56,970 --> 00:19:00,210 like all these different things. This is not the free market. And again, 316 00:19:00,210 --> 00:19:04,910 This is the symptom of fiat currencies, fake government currencies. 317 00:19:05,410 --> 00:19:06,810 This is, again, zoom out. 318 00:19:07,010 --> 00:19:08,390 Keep the main thing the main thing. 319 00:19:08,550 --> 00:19:14,190 You have to put your family on a Bitcoin standard, your city, your municipality, your society, 320 00:19:14,290 --> 00:19:18,050 the people around you, and it starts with one person doing it, and then it extrapolates 321 00:19:18,050 --> 00:19:18,210 out. 322 00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:19,530 That's what Bitcoin has become, right? 323 00:19:19,570 --> 00:19:24,590 17 years of one person starting it, Sochi, and then it expands out from there, and look 324 00:19:24,590 --> 00:19:26,110 at what's happened in only 17 years. 325 00:19:26,410 --> 00:19:27,090 It's the only way. 326 00:19:27,090 --> 00:19:31,590 it's either going to be hash power or like we said off the show, gunpowder. There's only two 327 00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:37,210 ways out of this. You can't vote harder. You can't capitalism harder. The economic system is built on 328 00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:41,990 top of the money you choose. They're not together. I've talked to so many people who think that those 329 00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:46,970 things are together, like inflation is part of capitalism or the money is inside the economic 330 00:19:46,970 --> 00:19:51,690 system you choose. That could not be further from the truth, but these are government educated, 331 00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:57,330 public university, MBAs, finance bros, these people that have, they don't know the inputs, 332 00:19:57,430 --> 00:20:01,790 the actual accounting mechanism that accounts for that MBA degree they have, or learning how to 333 00:20:01,790 --> 00:20:06,390 manage people and, you know, go to CF, you know, be a CFO and the C-suite executives. They have 334 00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:10,530 zero clue what's going on. Jim Rickards has talked about this for a long, long time, decades, 335 00:20:10,890 --> 00:20:17,070 and he's no Bitcoin friend, but he's talked about in 71, when they took gold off the, you know, 336 00:20:17,070 --> 00:20:23,390 out of the money that they immediately took gold out of the books. So no one got taught after 1971, 337 00:20:23,530 --> 00:20:27,890 72, 73, no one was being taught what money really was. So of course you have a couple of generations 338 00:20:27,890 --> 00:20:31,470 of people that have zero idea what's going on. And these things will all be weaponized because 339 00:20:31,470 --> 00:20:35,910 that's what fiat is. Fiat is just a bunch of job owning. It's by decree. So it's a, it's a political 340 00:20:35,910 --> 00:20:40,730 currency. So that's all these narratives, the Patriot Act, stir people up, create a bunch of 341 00:20:40,730 --> 00:20:44,330 emotion. You know, what did Rahm Emanuel say? And you know, Saul Alinsky, all these guys through the 342 00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:48,150 decades, never let a good crisis go to waste. This is how government operates, the natural end 343 00:20:48,150 --> 00:20:52,110 state of governments and empires. This is no different than all of human history and what's 344 00:20:52,110 --> 00:20:55,790 happening. But again, how do these things start? Like you guys just said, when people have had 345 00:20:55,790 --> 00:21:00,010 enough, when they're on their hands and knees crawling, which Tony has seen firsthand before, 346 00:21:00,330 --> 00:21:03,910 so you probably should listen to Tony. He has seen this, people on their hands and knees crawling, 347 00:21:04,110 --> 00:21:08,510 begging for the cash they had in the bank, begging for food, begging for whatever, because the 348 00:21:08,510 --> 00:21:13,630 currency collapsed, the fake government currency collapsed in said country. That is coming anywhere 349 00:21:13,630 --> 00:21:18,250 and everywhere that has a government currency. And Newsflash, that's all of them. And also, 350 00:21:18,430 --> 00:21:23,430 there's never been a government currency that's ever existed for more than 100, 200 years in all 351 00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:27,670 of humanity. Every single one has gone to zero. So the US dollar is no different. Maybe it takes a 352 00:21:27,670 --> 00:21:31,950 little longer than the rest of them, but they all have the same fate. And Bitcoin is the only answer 353 00:21:31,950 --> 00:21:37,350 that can withstand a global monetary system and a ledger that can't be corrupted. I think that's 354 00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:43,290 very well said. Okay, guys, we've got Donald Trump, probably not worth playing a clip, but he 355 00:21:43,290 --> 00:21:47,730 he's talking about Bitcoin in the midst of this war. It kind of makes me wonder if, you know, 356 00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:52,150 this is kind of always in the back of the mind of these politicians. They understand the threat. 357 00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:56,370 They're trying to figure out how to frame it. But he says Bitcoin is very powerful. So many people 358 00:21:56,370 --> 00:22:00,310 now want to pay you in crypto. They want to pay you in Bitcoin. We have to be at the top of it, 359 00:22:00,410 --> 00:22:16,000 call it an industry Tony I think we all probably all a bit skeptical of politicians here You maybe more so than than most people I talk to Why do you think Trump is talking about Bitcoin Does this make you more bullish Do you care at all 360 00:22:16,060 --> 00:22:18,240 Or do you think that this is a signal for something else? 361 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:22,960 They talk about it because they have no choice but to talk about it. 362 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:30,780 It's not going away and it's definitely threatening their entire existence and relevancy. 363 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:32,640 That's why they talk about it. 364 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,740 What they're trying to do here is not kill it because they tried that numerous times and failed. 365 00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:51,520 What they're trying to do now is absorb it, reshape the narratives and, you know, prey on the ignorance of the people by letting them think that, you know, Bitcoin is a great thing. 366 00:22:51,520 --> 00:23:00,420 As long as you use, you know, the government's version of it, which is, you know, these worthless ETFs, treasuries and all that fucking garbage that they put out there. 367 00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:04,080 because they prey on people's addiction to convenience 368 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,400 and going with the path of least resistance. 369 00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:11,700 But the truth is, and at some point people are going to understand this, 370 00:23:11,980 --> 00:23:16,160 that the root of all of the problems, all of them, no exception, 371 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:23,020 is the money, is the dollar that you go out to slave for from nine to five. 372 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,280 But it's also a catch-22 for a lot of people 373 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,740 because they need that worthless paper to put food on the table for now, right? 374 00:23:30,820 --> 00:23:33,500 Because, you know, of course, you know, Bitcoin is only 17 years old. 375 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,020 It's not everywhere yet. 376 00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:36,460 And so they're stuck. 377 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,080 So you've got, you know, the lack of knowledge and, you know, poor education 378 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,120 and the fact that, you know, there's immediate needs that need to be met. 379 00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:48,560 And so, of course, these corrupt politicians abuse that. 380 00:23:48,820 --> 00:23:50,320 It's not like they care about the people. 381 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,360 They don't give a shit about you, whether you live or die. 382 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,920 But they know you're stuck. 383 00:23:53,920 --> 00:24:00,280 And for them, the eternal quest for power and greed and control is never going to end. 384 00:24:01,020 --> 00:24:08,320 And so since they can't kill the threat, they're hoping they can somehow contain it. 385 00:24:09,180 --> 00:24:20,300 This might work for a portion of the population, but there's a very rapidly growing number of folks worldwide that are not going to fall for this rubbish. 386 00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:33,200 And the more they try to contain, I think the more they're going to incentivize and push the development and proliferation of real Bitcoin circular economies. 387 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:39,800 They're going to push the peer-to-peer standard of electronic cash. 388 00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:46,820 And we will go into, at least in the short to midterm, into that two-tiered system that I keep referring to. 389 00:24:46,820 --> 00:24:51,280 you're going to have a part of the world you know still stuck in that donkey money asking for 390 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,980 permission you know under constant surveillance and control and you're gonna have a large enough 391 00:24:55,980 --> 00:25:01,520 portion of the population that are not and you know of course you know since the internet is 392 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,240 is available to everyone and people love posting about how glamorous their lives are 393 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,380 you know people who are stuck in hell are going to see others that are not so stuck in hell and 394 00:25:11,380 --> 00:25:14,340 And I'm going to wonder, you know, why are they so happy? 395 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,280 And why am I in such a rut? 396 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,980 And they're going to, you know, want to figure out how to get there. 397 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:26,080 And so that, you know, light bulb moment is what stresses me out. 398 00:25:26,740 --> 00:25:29,700 Because there's no ticket at that moment in time, right? 399 00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:32,160 To go from hell to heaven, there is no ticket. 400 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,800 Who's going to trade places with you, right? 401 00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:40,340 And so that usually turns into, I want it at any cost. 402 00:25:40,340 --> 00:25:43,320 And that usually means, you know, extreme violence. 403 00:25:44,380 --> 00:25:51,720 Would either of you guys give any weight to the notion that perhaps someone like Trump doesn't really understand the threat that Bitcoin is to the dollar? 404 00:25:51,860 --> 00:25:57,540 And so he talks about it, kind of throws a bone to the Bitcoiners who we, you know, rallied around at the Bitcoin conference. 405 00:25:57,660 --> 00:25:58,980 Could be part of that as well. 406 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,560 You know, it's like to gain, I don't know, political brownie points, I guess. 407 00:26:03,660 --> 00:26:04,340 Who knows, man? 408 00:26:04,540 --> 00:26:09,680 I mean, but the key takeaway here is that Bitcoin doesn't care about these people. 409 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,420 It doesn't care about this entire system entirely. 410 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,560 It doesn't matter what they say or do. 411 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,620 This is the part that so many folks still don't understand. 412 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,340 And they still wait around clapping like a bunch of fucking penguins. 413 00:26:22,780 --> 00:26:27,700 You know, whenever one of these guys announces some sort of good news, which they never follow up. 414 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:28,320 Right. 415 00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:39,580 So, you know, you need to stop, you know, being so foolish and hoping that, you know, a legacy system is going to adopt a money. 416 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,800 that completely puts it out of business. 417 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,980 You must be crazy to think 418 00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:46,740 if a corrupt government is ever going to do that. 419 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,960 Yeah, no, I completely agree with that statement. 420 00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:53,220 And I guess maybe what I'd say is just, 421 00:26:53,540 --> 00:26:56,100 if you're watching this, don't hold your breath, right? 422 00:26:56,220 --> 00:26:57,160 Like just don't hold your breath 423 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,500 on what politicians are going to do. 424 00:26:58,920 --> 00:26:59,680 Brandon, what's your take? 425 00:27:00,340 --> 00:27:01,620 Yeah, I mean, Joe Manchin, 426 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,920 I keep going back to 15 to 20 years ago. 427 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,400 Joe Manchin told us in 2014, 428 00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:08,180 hey, we should have stopped Bitcoin when we had the chance, 429 00:27:08,180 --> 00:27:12,860 you know, in 2010, 2011, when it was very small, you know, probably the only legitimate shot at 430 00:27:12,860 --> 00:27:17,100 stopping Bitcoin. And now they know they can't, uh, the cats, you know, the toothpaste out of the 431 00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:21,580 tube, it's long, long gone. Uh, politicians know like whether, you know, Tony just said like, 432 00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:25,320 whether, you know, Trump knows or not, just trying to throw a bone is trying to get, you know, 433 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,160 donations, you know, whatever it is, maybe he does know, maybe he doesn't know. Um, it just, 434 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,720 they, the only way to, to remove you from your Bitcoin is a psyop you, whether it's, you know, 435 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,120 the government stuff, it's tax this, it's the ETFs or like all these different things. These are just 436 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:44,780 psyops to remove you from your Bitcoin. You know, a fool in this Bitcoin are soon departed. And, 437 00:27:44,780 --> 00:27:50,240 and that's the only thing that the ruling class can do. They can't stop it. They have to stop you. 438 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,080 And this goes back to, again, we were ranting our show a little bit, right? And it's just like, 439 00:27:54,120 --> 00:28:00,260 you don't, this whole system is, is fake. The fiat currency, it's, you can't have good society 440 00:28:00,260 --> 00:28:04,280 from dishonest money. And so everything downstream is polluted. It's like, it's Adam and Eve, you 441 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,180 You know, you bite the apple. 442 00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:07,540 Now, now you have all the sin after that. 443 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:08,980 You know, good and evil. 444 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:09,960 You know the difference. 445 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,420 So now you get all the dumb consequences, whether it's, whether it's this politician 446 00:28:14,420 --> 00:28:17,800 or not, or it's another politician or it's a group of people or not, because people always 447 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,280 dismiss the, I guess we'll just say conspiratorial people because people know that term, but 448 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,820 they, they dismiss people who argue against the government. 449 00:28:24,820 --> 00:28:27,720 They dismiss a lot of people that they have a problem with the government or whatever 450 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,940 it is, but it's not one person at the top. 451 00:28:30,020 --> 00:28:31,580 You know, both sides kind of miss it to a degree. 452 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,260 It's just the incentives of fiat. 453 00:28:33,260 --> 00:28:39,580 But they pit people against each other, left versus right, red versus blue, consumer and producer, government versus individual. 454 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,480 It pits everyone against each other. 455 00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:43,220 That's just the inherent nature of fiat. 456 00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:46,200 You cannot have good fruit from that bad tree. 457 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,340 It's literally impossible. 458 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,180 So separating money from state is the only answer at the end of the day. 459 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,740 Move your family onto that standard. 460 00:28:53,180 --> 00:28:53,940 Get educated. 461 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,600 Talk to the guys here. 462 00:28:56,060 --> 00:28:58,840 Get some extra food storage, some gas, some water. 463 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,420 Again, Tony has talked about these things for so long. 464 00:29:01,420 --> 00:29:04,580 get prepared because things are coming and it's just the natural state of life. 465 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,500 This is, these are life cycles, you know, for turning all the cliches. 466 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,940 These things are obviously just how life works. 467 00:29:09,980 --> 00:29:10,560 People forget. 468 00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:11,580 Then we learn our lesson. 469 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,860 We get smacked in the face and then we get, then we learn our lesson. 470 00:29:14,860 --> 00:29:17,740 Go back to like, we just mentioned the Bible a minute ago, that people forgot the truth 471 00:29:17,740 --> 00:29:19,640 and then they come back and they're like, Oh, we forgot. 472 00:29:19,740 --> 00:29:21,700 And then they learn for a while and then they forget again. 473 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,160 We're just, you know, it sucks to have to live through the period where people forget 474 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,920 and they're like, Oh darn it. 475 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:27,560 We forgot the truth. 476 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,580 We forgot common sense. 477 00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:30,900 And here we are, we're getting smacked in the face. 478 00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:35,680 And there's people, whether the politicians, whether they know it or not, they're going to be run over by the system. 479 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,280 They win at the end of the day, too, because they are humans also. 480 00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:40,960 And they will benefit from Bitcoin at the end of the day as well. 481 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,780 Not maybe in a political sense, but just for their life, their family, the people around them. 482 00:29:45,060 --> 00:29:48,900 And that's the beautiful thing about Bitcoin is it puts everyone on the same side of the table, actually. 483 00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:54,720 And actually is that positive some upward loop instead of this downward doom debt spiral loop that we have now with fiat. 484 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,980 So I have an interesting story. 485 00:29:57,980 --> 00:30:03,860 So last year I spoke at a, a small event here in town and it was largely a bunch of like 486 00:30:03,860 --> 00:30:05,060 business professionals. 487 00:30:05,060 --> 00:30:08,440 And there was one guy sitting in the audience who had tattoos. 488 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,440 He looked like a biker. 489 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,940 Like I, I could imagine his Harley sitting outside. 490 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,580 And I said something about how government had corrupted money and, you know, we, they 491 00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:19,820 can't be trusted with, and it was, I was not trying to be like divisive. 492 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,180 I didn't know the audience real well. 493 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,780 And he said, he raised his hand and he said, Hey, what if I think we'd maybe I'll be better 494 00:30:25,780 --> 00:30:30,900 off if we all just agreed to trust the government. It was like the last guy in the crowd I was 495 00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:36,080 expecting to say we should trust the government. He's going to be like the rebel, like rah-rah, 496 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,460 cheering me on. And I think that's the challenge is they see someone like Trump, like, oh, he's 497 00:30:41,460 --> 00:30:46,340 talking about Bitcoin. Oh, maybe if I buy some Bitcoin and then wait and keep it in the ETF, 498 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,800 it's going to go up because Trump's talking about it. And I think everyone just needs to get to a 499 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,060 place where they reject that notion. I'm hopeful that the global uncertainty index maybe makes 500 00:30:56,060 --> 00:31:00,600 people question when a politician speaks about anything, even things that they like. 501 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,720 Maybe it's not quite as it seems. All right, guys, we got some good news here before we get 502 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,800 to our donkey. We actually have two donkeys of the week, by the way. But BTQ Technologies launches 503 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:17,180 BIP 360 testnet, pushing Bitcoin toward quantum proof security. So the TLDR here is that 504 00:31:17,180 --> 00:31:26,560 But obviously, I think a lot of people who follow along know that the elliptic curve cryptography could be broken by a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. 505 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,040 And a host of folks have been working on this. 506 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:36,660 This is one step closer toward moving to Bitcoin's mainnet, requiring a community-approved soft fork. 507 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,780 Obviously, we don't have a timeline on that yet. 508 00:31:38,780 --> 00:31:45,820 But to me, this is optimistic, not because I'm worried about quantum computing in the short term, but there's a lot of FUD around this. 509 00:31:45,820 --> 00:31:51,840 I think it's just one of those boxes we could potentially check that maybe puts people who are worried about this at ease. 510 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,960 Brandon, do you have any particular take on this? 511 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,440 No, I don't specifically. 512 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,560 It's just, again, zooming out, keeping the main thing, the main thing. 513 00:32:00,660 --> 00:32:03,780 It's just, you know, we had energy flood for 15, 16 years straight. 514 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,940 And then all of a sudden that becomes AI data centers. 515 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,200 Now we need tons of energy. 516 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,320 And that's all of a sudden a great thing. 517 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,300 And now we hear nothing about energy flood with Bitcoin. 518 00:32:13,300 --> 00:32:18,140 and so that I believe is a little signal there because now we hear quantum and epstein stuff all 519 00:32:18,140 --> 00:32:22,180 the time these last you know couple months so that to me is a little signal and at the end of 520 00:32:22,180 --> 00:32:27,300 the day quantum it yes do we need to work on things just to prepare for the future of course 521 00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:32,260 and not put our head in the sand however at the same time if people think that you know someone's 522 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:35,440 people are going to come after a two trillion dollar you know one and a half trillion dollar 523 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,300 uh honeypot and they're not going to go after the u.s military first or you know jamie diamonds bank 524 00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:41,480 or like all the other banks first, 525 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,200 and those won't be the first targets with quantum, 526 00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:45,620 which we know most of that is not quantum proof, 527 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,000 then come on, we're fooling ourselves here. 528 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,780 So it's amazing that this is happening. 529 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,640 And again, it's just a testament to Bitcoiners, 530 00:32:51,940 --> 00:32:52,840 always forward thinking. 531 00:32:52,980 --> 00:32:54,960 Bitcoiners usually, I would say what I've seen, 532 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,600 operate 10 to 20 years in the future, 533 00:32:56,740 --> 00:32:59,480 probably minimum somewhere around there and beyond. 534 00:33:00,020 --> 00:33:00,980 So it doesn't surprise me, 535 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,720 Bitcoiners were working on this already well ahead of the curve. 536 00:33:02,860 --> 00:33:04,480 And again, another benchmark, 537 00:33:04,580 --> 00:33:06,920 another reason that you should be studying Bitcoin 538 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,380 and understanding this world 539 00:33:08,380 --> 00:33:10,100 because it's going to be the only system 540 00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:24,671 in an AI world and what happening going forward that will be able to operate efficiently and securely going forward Tony does this make you bullish Yeah absolutely man This is definitely the type of good news that people need to be focusing on because it clearly you know 541 00:33:24,731 --> 00:33:29,271 debunks the FUD and the nonsense that's been spewed out, you know, over the last few months. 542 00:33:29,711 --> 00:33:34,491 A lot of smart people love Bitcoin and that's not going to change. In fact, if you really want to 543 00:33:34,491 --> 00:33:39,471 be bullish on Bitcoin, just understand what's being built on the protocol and that ecosystem. 544 00:33:39,471 --> 00:33:49,531 And once you understand that, then it becomes very clear why Bitcoin's value is going to be exponentially larger than anyone can possibly think of. 545 00:33:50,331 --> 00:33:51,711 Yeah, I completely agree. 546 00:33:51,831 --> 00:34:02,611 I think it's just exciting to see that some of these things that many people are talking about most ignorantly, but that concerns some people and it comes up on CNBC or wherever. 547 00:34:03,251 --> 00:34:05,691 We've got answers and it's being worked on. 548 00:34:05,771 --> 00:34:06,691 So I think that's exciting. 549 00:34:06,691 --> 00:34:10,771 All righty, guys, this is our tier two donkey of the week. 550 00:34:10,871 --> 00:34:17,471 OK, so the Canadian government is seeking to secure elections from crypto risks, because obviously that's the biggest risk of their election. 551 00:34:18,271 --> 00:34:28,071 It says in Canada, crypto regulation is now entering the democratic arena and electoral reform proposes to ban crypto donations to counter risk of foreign interference and opaque financing. 552 00:34:28,411 --> 00:34:32,891 That is your problem. It's opaque financing of politicians. That's that's what's going on in Canada. 553 00:34:32,891 --> 00:34:40,011 uh tony what's uh what's your thought i did to be fair i think most politicians will uh you know 554 00:34:40,011 --> 00:34:45,191 out of fear for losing their job could potentially comply even though it's peer-to-peer electronic 555 00:34:45,191 --> 00:34:51,211 cash i mean it's just like another i don't even know if it's a misstep it's just like another 556 00:34:51,211 --> 00:34:55,451 like what are you wasting your time on canada that's my sort of interpretation but tony what 557 00:34:55,451 --> 00:35:00,071 do you think well man when you have like inefficient corrupt and stupid politicians 558 00:35:00,071 --> 00:35:02,550 who are desperate to remain in power 559 00:35:02,550 --> 00:35:04,091 and they know that they can't 560 00:35:04,091 --> 00:35:06,671 because the world has changed now, 561 00:35:07,171 --> 00:35:08,191 what do they do? 562 00:35:08,251 --> 00:35:08,751 They cheat. 563 00:35:09,871 --> 00:35:12,050 And so they try to leverage their position 564 00:35:12,050 --> 00:35:13,831 in order to warp the rules, 565 00:35:13,951 --> 00:35:17,991 in order to keep the real competition 566 00:35:17,991 --> 00:35:20,451 from kicking them to the curve. 567 00:35:20,751 --> 00:35:22,011 I don't think this is going to work. 568 00:35:22,091 --> 00:35:23,711 There's nothing they can possibly do 569 00:35:23,711 --> 00:35:26,751 that will ban a peer-to-peer transaction 570 00:35:26,751 --> 00:35:29,071 from someone to someone else 571 00:35:29,071 --> 00:35:30,391 if they really wanted to do so. 572 00:35:31,011 --> 00:35:34,411 People who understand crypto are usually much more educated 573 00:35:34,411 --> 00:35:36,411 than these retarded politicians. 574 00:35:36,731 --> 00:35:39,371 And so if somebody wanted to send funds somewhere, 575 00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:40,671 they will find a way to do it. 576 00:35:40,951 --> 00:35:44,211 And there's nothing these people can say or do about it. 577 00:35:44,731 --> 00:35:47,171 So this is like a nothing burger trying to just, you know, 578 00:35:47,191 --> 00:35:51,471 trying to show strength where there's absolutely none of it. 579 00:35:52,011 --> 00:35:54,971 Yeah, this is what happens when you elect a two-time central banker. 580 00:35:54,971 --> 00:36:01,851 And it's, yeah, to me, I wonder what percentage of political donations come in the form of cryptocurrency. 581 00:36:02,231 --> 00:36:03,991 It's probably pretty insignificant. 582 00:36:04,271 --> 00:36:06,371 So I just don't know why they're wasting time on this. 583 00:36:06,471 --> 00:36:08,351 But anything you would add to that, Brandon? 584 00:36:09,111 --> 00:36:14,231 Yeah, again, it's just more of these, like you filed into Trump thing earlier, like the good, the bad, whatever. 585 00:36:14,331 --> 00:36:23,171 It's just the politicians, people acknowledging probably a lot of, you know, just placating to the different sects of your base, you know, the different components of that. 586 00:36:23,171 --> 00:36:24,651 It's probably what a lot of it is right now. 587 00:36:24,851 --> 00:36:29,791 Because, again, we mentioned this earlier, but I know some politicians do understand Bitcoin. 588 00:36:30,291 --> 00:36:31,951 Obviously, there's going to be some out there that do. 589 00:36:32,050 --> 00:36:33,851 But the vast majority don't at the end of the day. 590 00:36:33,931 --> 00:36:34,511 They really don't. 591 00:36:34,591 --> 00:36:35,991 They're worried about insider trading. 592 00:36:36,131 --> 00:36:37,151 They're worried about all these other things. 593 00:36:37,191 --> 00:36:38,731 That's the grift and how they're making money. 594 00:36:38,931 --> 00:36:41,511 We talked about the leering centers earlier, the Minnesota tax fraud. 595 00:36:41,511 --> 00:36:44,991 The money laundering all over the place is how these people are making money. 596 00:36:45,731 --> 00:36:52,331 So this is just, I think, placating to their different voter blocks and voter groups to say the Elizabeth Warren type stuff or whoever. 597 00:36:52,331 --> 00:36:53,091 than Mark Carney's. 598 00:36:53,171 --> 00:36:54,191 Hey, this is what we're doing. 599 00:36:54,311 --> 00:36:55,231 You know, because they know their base 600 00:36:55,231 --> 00:36:56,031 doesn't like crypto 601 00:36:56,031 --> 00:36:58,111 or it's associated with right wing people 602 00:36:58,111 --> 00:36:59,271 or whatever it is, 603 00:36:59,371 --> 00:37:00,671 you know, stupid things they believe. 604 00:37:01,171 --> 00:37:02,171 So this to me is just, 605 00:37:02,251 --> 00:37:03,031 is this part of that. 606 00:37:03,211 --> 00:37:05,371 And if you're really about security transparency, 607 00:37:06,191 --> 00:37:07,631 then, you know, we have the, 608 00:37:07,791 --> 00:37:08,411 after 9-11, 609 00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:10,231 we had the Department of Homeland Security 610 00:37:10,231 --> 00:37:11,611 in America was created. 611 00:37:11,731 --> 00:37:12,371 And there was 200, 612 00:37:12,491 --> 00:37:13,371 as of like a year or two ago, 613 00:37:13,391 --> 00:37:14,550 there's 240,000 agents. 614 00:37:14,791 --> 00:37:16,271 So for after 20 years, 615 00:37:16,331 --> 00:37:17,831 we're adding 20,000 people a year. 616 00:37:17,951 --> 00:37:20,231 So are you 240,000 times safer 617 00:37:20,231 --> 00:37:21,671 than you were after 9-11? 618 00:37:21,671 --> 00:37:24,811 And that's just my question to the average person, at least in America. 619 00:37:25,571 --> 00:37:31,411 That's how many people they throw onto this stuff just to glom on and to create this opaqueness and lack of transparency. 620 00:37:31,631 --> 00:37:35,991 So every time you see things like this, to me and all my experience of 20, 25 years of following this stuff, 621 00:37:36,271 --> 00:37:40,191 it's usually to create some other government position, get more people into the government, 622 00:37:40,431 --> 00:37:44,611 actually create more opaqueness and more lack of transparency, more grift, more money laundering. 623 00:37:44,731 --> 00:37:46,111 That's generally what happens with these things. 624 00:37:46,111 --> 00:37:47,891 So again, to me, it's just a ruse. 625 00:37:47,891 --> 00:37:50,911 try to play gate and base and hey, how can we launder some more money at the end of the day 626 00:37:50,911 --> 00:37:56,151 with some new initiative or some new government agency? That seems pretty reasonable. Alrighty, 627 00:37:56,251 --> 00:38:01,131 guys, the real donkey of the week, however, is are the politicians of New York City. So they're 628 00:38:01,131 --> 00:38:06,591 proposing, they say it's a WEF inspired law that would require a blackout to be put in place to 629 00:38:06,591 --> 00:38:13,431 save the energy grid. And the long story short on this, guys, is that non, so it would be a mandate 630 00:38:13,431 --> 00:38:19,351 shutting off non-essential outdoor lights from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting in 2028. 631 00:38:19,931 --> 00:38:25,731 So no real urgency to this, of course, to curb light pollution, conserve energy, and protect 632 00:38:25,731 --> 00:38:31,711 migratory birds. And of course, they're going to allow exemptions for public safety, which I don't 633 00:38:31,711 --> 00:38:36,811 know how they decide if it's for the benefit of public safety, and areas like Times Square, 634 00:38:36,931 --> 00:38:41,271 which they can't turn the lights off because all the big donors advertising in Times Square and the 635 00:38:41,271 --> 00:38:47,011 tourists who bring them money. They don't want to upset those people. So, I mean, just absolute 636 00:38:47,011 --> 00:38:51,971 clown world. We've seen plenty of this out of New York City lately, but I would love, Brandon, 637 00:38:52,071 --> 00:38:56,751 your thoughts first. Yeah, boy, oh boy. This makes me think of Daniel Batten. I was just trying to 638 00:38:56,751 --> 00:38:59,891 find the tweet somewhere, but he talked about this. You know, one of the things I got to say, 639 00:38:59,931 --> 00:39:03,531 the one of the things I love about Bitcoin, like we talked about earlier, the putting people on the 640 00:39:03,531 --> 00:39:06,771 same side of the table instead of pitting each other against each other. Daniel Batten is someone 641 00:39:06,771 --> 00:39:09,991 I probably wouldn't have agreed with 20 years ago when I was very political. We would have been on 642 00:39:09,991 --> 00:39:14,811 opposite sides of the table. I think of someone like Eric Kaysan. I know we were on the opposite 643 00:39:14,811 --> 00:39:18,631 sides of the table, whether it was Occupy, Wall Street, and Tea Party. And then you really realize 644 00:39:18,631 --> 00:39:23,931 these people are all on the same team. I mean, 95% to 99% of people want to be left alone. They 645 00:39:23,931 --> 00:39:28,091 want freedom. They don't want the government running their life. And so we've just been told 646 00:39:28,091 --> 00:39:31,491 they're saying, and that's what Bitcoin does. It puts people that were before in this political 647 00:39:31,491 --> 00:39:35,751 fiat currency system at each other's throat, where now we're all on the same team. I can have 648 00:39:35,751 --> 00:39:40,491 great conversations and 99% of what these guys say, or those gentlemen say, or ladies say, 649 00:39:40,631 --> 00:39:44,491 I agree with, because you start realizing, wow, this is really what it's all about. So, 650 00:39:44,851 --> 00:39:48,151 you know, I think about Bitcoin mining, Daniel Benton was just talking about this the other day 651 00:39:48,151 --> 00:39:52,331 of like the electricity to grid and how Bitcoin mining is the thing that stabilizes all this. 652 00:39:52,371 --> 00:39:56,151 And it's like, if you were really for the green agenda, New York city, you know, politicians or 653 00:39:56,151 --> 00:40:00,151 mayor and all these people, these grifters, the Gretas, they're like, if you're really for green 654 00:40:00,151 --> 00:40:05,311 energy and ESG and all these things, then how have you not found Bitcoin after 17 years? What kind of 655 00:40:05,311 --> 00:40:08,651 homework are you doing? Where are you actually looking? And that's the confusing part to me. 656 00:40:08,871 --> 00:40:12,571 And I say that, you know, facetiously, because we know that it's just a grip. It's a ruse. It's 657 00:40:12,571 --> 00:40:15,931 what we've been talking about this whole show. It's their money laundering operations. All these 658 00:40:15,931 --> 00:40:19,331 things are to siphon power away from you, siphon your wealth away from you so they can have it at 659 00:40:19,331 --> 00:40:22,651 the top. They still have homes on the sides of cliffs. They're not worried about climate change 660 00:40:22,651 --> 00:40:26,811 too much. They're not worried about sea levels. So again, you get to decipher the signal from the 661 00:40:26,811 --> 00:40:30,091 noise. But Daniel Band, like I said, I was trying to find this tweet and he was just saying that one 662 00:40:30,091 --> 00:40:35,231 of the biggest methane gas, you know, I forget what the guy was because one of the biggest 663 00:40:35,231 --> 00:40:40,811 guys in the world. And he said the, the best way to get rid of methane gas in the world is Bitcoin 664 00:40:40,811 --> 00:40:44,791 mining. And he had just retweeted that in the past week. So, I mean, massive signal anywhere. 665 00:40:44,791 --> 00:40:48,491 So it's like Tony said earlier, this stuff is inevitable. Like Bitcoin is the inevitable 666 00:40:48,491 --> 00:40:52,851 money protocol going forward, no matter what way you spend it, no matter what way you look at and 667 00:40:52,851 --> 00:40:56,691 what lens you look at Bitcoin from, from the revolutionary aspect, from the cleaning up the 668 00:40:56,691 --> 00:41:01,371 environment, saving, you know, not being stolen from through inflation, every angle you spin 669 00:41:01,371 --> 00:41:05,051 Bitcoin, you're, you see, Oh, wow, that's the answer. And then you come over here. Okay. Wow. 670 00:41:05,051 --> 00:41:05,851 That's the answer too. 671 00:41:06,211 --> 00:41:07,451 It's that's what Bitcoin does. 672 00:41:07,531 --> 00:41:09,151 And that's why it's just zoom out. 673 00:41:09,351 --> 00:41:10,511 Keep the main thing, the main thing. 674 00:41:10,611 --> 00:41:11,911 It is much easier. 675 00:41:12,111 --> 00:41:13,651 You know, what's easy to do is easy not to do. 676 00:41:13,651 --> 00:41:15,891 As humans, we tend to think like it's got to be super complicated. 677 00:41:15,991 --> 00:41:17,171 And I think it's what Occam's razor is. 678 00:41:17,411 --> 00:41:19,171 The simplest answer is almost always the right answer. 679 00:41:19,671 --> 00:41:22,631 And we just need to get our own way and not overcomplicate things. 680 00:41:22,751 --> 00:41:26,371 But it is tough when you have 12 years of government run school for many people here in the West. 681 00:41:26,851 --> 00:41:28,011 I empathize with you. 682 00:41:28,071 --> 00:41:28,731 I was one of those people. 683 00:41:28,731 --> 00:41:31,651 And it is hard to get our own way because we have to overcomplicate things. 684 00:41:31,971 --> 00:41:33,631 And it's time will tell. 685 00:41:33,631 --> 00:41:35,231 but we're going the right direction overall. 686 00:41:36,231 --> 00:41:37,651 Yeah, I can relate to that. 687 00:41:37,831 --> 00:41:38,931 Tony, why don't you? 688 00:41:39,011 --> 00:41:40,551 Yeah, man, not much further to add here, 689 00:41:40,611 --> 00:41:43,371 except when you're tired of being ripped off 690 00:41:43,371 --> 00:41:48,391 and you're tired of knowing who's ripping you off 691 00:41:48,391 --> 00:41:49,911 and you still do nothing, 692 00:41:50,111 --> 00:41:52,511 well, then I hope you have a nice collection of candles 693 00:41:52,511 --> 00:41:53,631 because... 694 00:41:56,571 --> 00:41:59,811 No, I think that's a good place to end it. 695 00:41:59,871 --> 00:42:02,511 Make sure you stack sats and stack candles, everyone, 696 00:42:02,511 --> 00:42:04,651 especially if you live in New York City right now. 697 00:42:05,051 --> 00:42:07,971 Brandon, it's so fun having you on every single time, my friend. 698 00:42:08,071 --> 00:42:10,031 Why don't you tell people where they can find you? 699 00:42:10,651 --> 00:42:13,871 I appreciate you guys so much and what the Bitcoin way does. 700 00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:16,571 And just have such a great relationship with you guys. 701 00:42:16,571 --> 00:42:18,791 And I'm truly on the mission, the freedom mission. 702 00:42:19,251 --> 00:42:20,471 And that's what this is all about at the end of the day, 703 00:42:20,531 --> 00:42:22,151 the freedom maximalism, freedom mission. 704 00:42:22,311 --> 00:42:24,051 So I always appreciate being on here. 705 00:42:24,131 --> 00:42:28,611 Brandon underscore Gentile is just my handle for the YouTube live streams we do 706 00:42:28,611 --> 00:42:29,971 and the podcast we do there. 707 00:42:29,971 --> 00:42:32,491 And then I think it's on Nostra and Twitter as well. 708 00:42:32,791 --> 00:42:33,731 You can find me everywhere. 709 00:42:33,831 --> 00:42:35,131 It's Brandon underscore Gentile. 710 00:42:35,391 --> 00:42:35,811 Thanks, boys. 711 00:42:36,611 --> 00:42:38,871 And stick around for another minute to our listeners. 712 00:42:38,871 --> 00:42:42,231 You can hear about the Bitcoin way, how we can help you go schedule a call with our team. 713 00:42:42,271 --> 00:42:43,311 We'd love to chat with you. 714 00:42:43,951 --> 00:42:45,211 Gents, it's been a pleasure. 715 00:42:45,531 --> 00:42:47,151 Look forward to catching up again here soon. 716 00:42:48,211 --> 00:42:48,691 Thanks, guys. 717 00:42:48,731 --> 00:42:49,351 It's been great. 718 00:42:49,591 --> 00:42:49,891 Thanks, boy. 719 00:42:49,951 --> 00:42:50,151 Cheers. 720 00:42:50,811 --> 00:42:51,271 Hey there. 721 00:42:51,351 --> 00:42:53,031 Thank you for tuning into Bitcoin Banter. 722 00:42:53,031 --> 00:42:57,231 Wanted to take a quick minute to remind you to head on over to the Bitcoinway.com slash 723 00:42:57,231 --> 00:43:02,691 podcast to schedule a free 30 minute consultation with a member of our team.
