YOU'll NEVER BE FINANCIALLY FREE WITHOUT THIS

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:01]You will not retire free unless you do this. You will not have fu money unless you do this. You will not be able to afford a house unless you do this. Let's let's be real. The the future is fairly bleak if you do not do this. However, you don't have to change.

[00:00:22]You don't have to change.

[00:00:25]You just have to decide. Although I do believe you might want to change, it's always better to get better. That's my belief. You don't have to. You just have to decide. I'm going to say it one more time. You just have to decide. You don't have to change. You don't have to become a better person, a smarter investor, or a finance expert, hedge fund manager.

[00:00:47]You don't have to get your act together first. You just have to decide. And that decision, one single decision is the only thing standing between you and a completely different financial future.

[00:00:59]Whether you're young or you're old, it does not matter. That's what today is about. You don't have to change. You just have to decide.

[00:01:08]Satoshi Nakamoto did not ask you to change.

[00:01:12]I'm going to show you exactly what that decision looks like and why right now, today, May 29th, 2026, is still the best possible time to make it. Let me paint you a picture.

[00:01:25]Somewhere between 32% and nearly 50% of Gen Z is living with their parents right now. Some surveys put it close to 50%. Depending on which data you use, that is either one in three or one in two young adults between 18 and 30 who cannot afford to live on their own. Many of them living with the older generation, living with the boomers, their children. That's not a failure to launch story. That is a rigged system.

[00:01:54]That is the story that is really not being told. And a quick anecdotal story, when I was studying in real estate, when I left professional hockey in 2012, in 2012, the median price home in a very desirable, really the most desirable area, the best for rentals, the best for single family homes, was in Royal Oak, Michigan, a very centralized place in southeast Michigan where you could get anywhere, probably within about an hour.

[00:02:20]The median price home at the bottom of the recession in 2012 was around $60 to $65,000.

[00:02:29]60 to $65,000. The median price at 20 in 2012. Now in 2026, what was that? 14 years later, the median price home is somewhere around 250 to $275,000.

[00:02:45]Think about that. or four or fivex from where we were in 2012. Do we believe that wages have gone up that much? Have wages gone up four or five? Were you making $8 an hour or $10 an hour and now you're making $40 an hour? Is that same job paying that?

[00:03:04]That's the story that we are living through right now.

[00:03:08]I want you to understand the difference because the difference is the whole ballgame. That's it. I also watched the 2008 financial crisis.

[00:03:16]from my apartment in Michigan State.

[00:03:17]Senior year, I sat there watching both parties bail out the banks, watched Lehman go down, watch the Fed open up a fire hose of new cash spraying into the system for the people who already had everything. And I thought, nobody taught me this. Actually got angry. No one taught me. This is the stuff that I was arguing about with professors, with teachers for years, and no one had an answer. Well, you just figure out money later. You figure out when you're on the job.

[00:03:41]Nobody told me this is how it worked. I had played by the rules. done everything I was supposed to do and the rules were not what I thought they were. It's the same feeling a generation is having right now except they are feeling it earlier and louder than I did and the older generation not knowing if they can retire. No idea if they're going to be able to retire. Am I going to outlive my money? By the grace of God, we've had incredible inventions, incredible medical technologies come that make people and get let people live longer and longer. No matter what Canada tries to do with their maid program, people are fortunately living longer in the grand scheme of things. But are you going to have too much month at the end of your money? Are you going to have too much life at the end of your money?

[00:04:20]That's the question that most people really probably age 35, 45 all the way up to 65, 75, 85 don't have the answer for. And then anyone under 35 or 45 is asking that first scenario, that first question. How am I going to afford a house? How am I going to afford anything? Let alone retirement. I can't even can't even buy groceries. I'm using CLA to go get fast food because I can't afford anything of actual substance.

[00:04:43]Can't afford the house. Can't afford rent. Entry-level wages like I mentioned a minute ago did not and have not caught up or kept up with a decade or decades of currency printing and that people who own assets, homes, stocks, businesses got richer while everyone else got squeezed like a tube of toothpaste. This is a Cantalon effect in plain sight. The people closest to the currency printer get those new freshly printed dollars first. They buy the assets before prices go up. By the time the dollars reach the factory worker in Flint, Michigan, or the kid with a college degree just coming out in his parents' basement in Plano, Texas, the prices have already moved. You're always behind. Always behind the eight-ball. They are always ahead. That's not bad luck. That's by design.

[00:05:34]That's by design. But here here is what I have never seen in my life in the history of every investment, every asset class, every financial opportunity I've ever studied. I've started real estate businesses. I've started multi-level marketing company businesses. Very easy startup costs for some of these. Started multiple businesses, real estate holding companies, brokerage companies, played professional hockey. I've never seen one that does not ask you to change first. I've never seen one. Real estate asked you to have credit. Capital ask you to have knowledge, connections, years of experience to do it. I lived it. The stock market asked you to trust institutions you did not pick and cannot audit. Read 10Ks.

[00:06:20]Business asked you to sacrifice years, endure massive risk, manage employees, deal with vendors and taxes and red tape. It grinds most people into the ground before they ever see a return.

[00:06:30]One in 10 small businesses fail within the first handful of years. Now, building a business, I do believe more and more people should be building businesses because of the personal development, the growth that you get out of it. But at the same time, we have to be practical what's really going on.

[00:06:45]However, Bitcoin, Bitcoin asks you nothing. Satoshi Noakamoto didn't ask you to change. Bitcoin doesn't care who you are, where you live, how old you are, or how many mistakes you made in your 20s. It doesn't ask you to have connections. It does not require permission from a bank, no permission from a government, no permission from a broker.

[00:07:07]It just asks you to save your time and energy in the hardest money, the hardest protocol, hardest computer network ever to exist and then get out of the way and let time do the work. Do you have the patience?

[00:07:20]Do you have the mental fortitude?

[00:07:22]You only need to make a 1 second decision.

[00:07:29]a one- second decision. It's not hype.

[00:07:32]It's not a pitch. That's an honest read from someone who has been studying monetary history for 15 years, almost 20 years. I've read Kiasaki. I've read Mike Maloney. I've read the creature of Jackal Island. All the greats, the Rothbard, Hayek, the Federal Reserve history, central banking history, read the marks. I've read I've read marks right here.

[00:07:55]I've read the Constitution, read the Declaration of Independence, Gen through it all, and I came out the other end and landed here. Went through the fatal funnel.

[00:08:06]Bitcoin is different in kind, not just degree. And what's in front of this generation right now, the generation that cannot afford rent, the generation sleeping in their childhood bedrooms, not out of laziness, not out of laziness, but because fiat currency is doing exactly what it's designed to do. Fiat currency is not broken. It's doing exactly what it's designed to do. It's designed to strip everything from you. It's designed to take everything from you. That generation has a window and a narrow one, but it's open right now.

[00:08:42]The argument is not complicated. Once you strip all the noise away, money is a vessel. It stores your time and energy and communicates it across space and time. When you work 8 hours, you pour your time and energy into that money.

[00:08:51]The money is supposed to hold that value until you're ready to trade it for something else. That's the only job money has. Store value, communicate it.

[00:09:00]My fight with Mike Green from a month or two ago, he argues that the dollar all his job is to is cancel the debt. And he is right. The dollar's job, the Cantalon dollar, the fiat cuck bucks, it's there to cancel debt. It is there to indebt you, not money.

[00:09:17]Actual money that is a store of value is there to do that, do just that, store value and communicate, create feedback loops, honest feedback back loops, honest weights and measures across time and space. Fiat currency doesn't do that on purpose.

[00:09:34]Every new dollar that gets printed dilutes the dollars already in existence. It's like pouring water into a glass of orange juice. The more water that goes in, the weaker the flavor gets. The hours worked by less and less over time. That's not inflation being some mysterious weather event. That's inflation being a transfer. Your time is being transferred to the people closest to the printer. Again, the canalon effect. Bitcoin reverses that. There will only be 21 million coins. You've heard this before. Nobody can print more. Nobody can freeze yours. Nobody can confiscate it if you hold your own keys. It's the first asset in human history where the rules cannot change or I should say the the rules cannot change on you in the middle of the game. I think about my kids growing up right here in Michigan. Four kids. What what world do I want them to grow up in?

[00:10:31]What do I want to leave them? Not just money, but a system where the money does not lie. Where the system incentivizes honesty. It incentivizes accountability.

[00:10:39]It incentivizes responsibility. It incentivizes honest actors. It incentivizes politicians to be honest actors. It incentivizes government to become smaller over time. And right now, while the price is sitting around the $75,000 range and retail is scared and the headlines are bad, the people understand what is happening are doing something very specific. You know, everyone's talking about AI and everyone's talking about the war and all the things going on. The signal is in all the noise. The exchange reserves, the amount of Bitcoin sitting on trading platforms available for sale just fell to a seven-year low.

[00:11:12]The last time this little this little amount of Bitcoin was available on exchanges was December 2017. So, Wales, the people in the know, the address is holding a,000 coins or more bought 270,000 Bitcoin in the last 30 days.

[00:11:27]That's the largest monthly accumul accumulation since 2013. The smart money is not selling. Smart money is taking home now. We saw some whales selling for a year or two when the ETFs came in. A little bit of different things at play here now. But guess what? Smart money is back again. We're seeing more people coming to the game. Skate to where the puck is going. See where it is. You just dumped it in. You just shot around the boards. We know it's coming back up to the far blue line. Get there. When retail is scared and prices are soft and the headlines are bad, that is when people who understand long-term prime, long-term time preference or low time preference, that's when they act.

[00:12:01]They're long-term thinkers.

[00:12:03]So, here's the practical piece. If you are Gen Z, if you're living at home right now, I'm not going to tell you that that's bad. That might be the most strategically sound decision you are making. If your rent is zero or close to it and your income is real, you're providing more to society than you're taking from it, which is hopefully what we're all doing, you have something most people in America right now don't have. Margin, runway, the raw material to make a decision that changes your entire financial life going forward. This could be someone that's older as well wondering about retirement, stuck thinking, is social security going to be around?

[00:12:41]Is government what what is government doing? What exactly is happening? Get off zero. We just had Chris Kyper on from Fidelity in his report they just updated from 2020, just updated earlier this year after six years. Get off zero.

[00:12:54]Get 01 Bitcoin at today's prices. That is roughly $750.

[00:13:01]Figure out how you can get $750. Go mow some lawns extra in your own time. The AI boom, what's happening now, can create massive amounts of wealth. Go help other business owners learn AI, use AI for their business, build workflows for their business. You can get 750 bucks a day. You can get 7, you know, help one business a day. You can do this stuff. It's you can create automated automatic uh automated lead generation platforms where you can go get business owner leads to do this. You can be up and running in a day.

[00:13:29]Have a lemonade stand. Do something.

[00:13:33]It's literally less than a month, a couple weekends, and you can have 750 bucks. Get 0.1 bit 01 Bitcoin if you're getting after it. Get 0.1 Bitcoin while you're at it. That's 7 $7,500 right now. That's a used car.

[00:13:48]Maybe it's a maybe it's a car for someone who's 30, 40, 50 years old and you're just getting in the game. Sell a sell an unused car. Go out and find some junk. Sell it. Resell. Go to go to garage sales. Go resell stuff.

[00:14:02]Stack one Bitcoin if you can.

[00:14:05]Less than 1% of all people who have ever lived will ever own one whole Bitcoin.

[00:14:10]Think about that. Not 1% of Americans, 1% of every human being alive on the planet today. You are this early.

[00:14:17]Bitcoin's at what? $1.5 trillion.

[00:14:19]There's 900 plus trillion dollars, almost one quadrillion dollars.

[00:14:24]So the opportunity is still 50x from here. It's got to suck away at least the monetary premium of all the assets going forward. That's how early we are.

[00:14:35]No other financial vehicle in history gives you that kind of leverage on your time and savings without asking you to be someone different first. Real estate does not work that way. I came from these worlds. Starting a business does not work that way. The stock market does not work that way. This is the one. All those other asset classes take time and energy. And even gold and silver, they themselves, while you can just go buy some or you could mine it, they still rely on trust middlemen. Am I getting the gold that I said I was buying or hoping to buy? Are they going to find more of it and mine more somewhere in the ocean or find more from a sunken treasure or an asteroid?

[00:15:15]You don't have to put that trust in other people. People look for FU money everywhere. You have FU money right in front of you. Go get Bitcoin. Put it in self- storage self- custody. Get it on your stamp seed. You have actual FU money. Now you are not incentivized to go along just to get along. If your employer tells you something or the government tells you something you don't like, guess what? You have FU money.

[00:15:38]That cannot be taken from you. At no point in human history have we had something like this. This window is open.

[00:15:46]People are scared. Prices are soft. The coins are leaving exchanges faster, going into self- custody, faster than any point in the last seven years.

[00:15:54]You do not need to wait for someone to save you. I can promise you that no one is coming. There's no policy, no politician, no program that fixes that.

[00:16:04]They will offer you band-aids on bullet holes.

[00:16:09]Building the economic system we have now on a foundation of sand. That's that's the system, a system of capitalism built on economic sand, built on mud built on quicksand that's quickly dissolving into that quicksand bitcoin fixes that root. It fixes that root foundational layer. It is the bedrock that you can build society on. But you don't have to wait for all of society to be built on top of that. Hold your own keys, not your keys, not your coins.

[00:16:35]That's not a slogan. That's the whole point. You can put yourself on a Bitcoin standard. You can start changing your whole life now. Whether you're 65 or whether you're 15, it doesn't matter.

[00:16:45]You can change your whole life going forward. You can be unable uncomfortable. You can become and have FU money.

[00:16:55]That's the opportunity.

[00:16:57]The Celsius customers, the BlockFi customers, the Voyage customer, Voyager customers, they learned that lesson the hard way. the Kraken Bitcoin Vault, the Coinbase earn program, paying you two and a half percent, whatever it is, they're giving you a small premium to hand over your coins to a stack of DeFi protocols. That's the same same song wearing a different jersey we've seen before.

[00:17:22]There is no free yield. There is no free lunch. There's only counterparty risk.

[00:17:26]You are being paid to ignore. There's only trade-offs in life. self custody, cold storage, take it home, have your keys, it's the actual FU money, you put the incentives back in your favor.

[00:17:41]I want to leave you with one question today. When you look back 10 years from now at this moment, May 2026, Bitcoin around 75,000 US courage reserves at seven-year low, half a generation priced out of the housing market. The older generation scared of if they're going to be able to retire. Are they going to have enough at the end of retirement?

[00:18:02]Sagflation starting to grip the economy.

[00:18:05]The Fed trapped between inflation and deflation. Debt sealing fights. War. Are do we have QT? Do we have QE? When you look back at this moment, who will you have been? Will you have been the person who saw the window and walked through it? Or will you have been the person who waited and watched the price move, watched it go by, and told themselves, "You know what?

[00:18:28]I'll do it when it goes down to this price. I'll do it when things feel a little more certain. You know what? I'll do it when Bitcoin is running the world.

[00:18:36]I'll do it when the grocery store can accept my Bitcoin."

[00:18:41]A moment's passed. There's never a moment when things feel certain. The puck's moving. The question is whether you're skating towards it or not. Are you going to be where it's going or are you standing still? Are you on the bench? Do you have your feet? Are you flatfooted? As we say in hockey, are you flatfooted? Are you moving? What are you doing? Where are you? You don't have to change. Satoshi Nakamoto didn't ask anyone to change.

[00:19:08]Fiat asks you to be a different person.

[00:19:10]Incentivizes you to be a different person. Bitcoin does not ask you to change. It actually monetizes human greed. Puts everyone on the same side of the table. That's the beauty of Bitcoin.

[00:19:20]You don't have to change. You don't have to become someone different. Although I do believe you should become someone different. I believe you should be someone better, striving to always get better. That's why I believe building businesses are so important because it incentivizes us to become better versions of ourselves. But I do believe that. But Bitcoin, there is no excuse.

[00:19:38]There's no excuse for someone today, right now, who doesn't have FU money, who is scared about the future, who doesn't know about the retirement, who can't afford a home, who doesn't know how they're going to make it till next month, next year, next decade. You don't have to change. You just have to decide. True FU money that no one can take from you.

[00:20:09]Great to see you guys. Cold deck, everybody, what's going on? Triny newbie, what's going on? Bitcoin price is clearly a buying opportunity.

[00:20:20]Yes. Yes, it is. It's great to see all you guys. It's great to be back a little bit and not be uh rushed so we can have more than just a few minutes. Lot going on. Lot going on. So things have been crazy for me. So I appreciate you guys.

[00:20:34]For those who have eyes truly newbie, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, from your lips to to God's ears, that's that's for dang sure.

[00:20:49]House of Freedom said, "You have not even a single idea how bad it is in countries like France. How people expect from the state is complete lunacy. Very, very high expectations." Oh boy. Yeah.

[00:20:58]It's scary. It's it's beyond, you know, again going back to again the poor will always be among you. Like Newbie just said, for those who have the ears to hear and eyes to see, unless you're searching for a better way in life, which unfortunately it seems like a lot of people aren't. I I don't know why. That doesn't make sense to me.

[00:21:18]It never has. Um people want to talk, they don't want to put work in. I I don't get it. That's a question for the maker someday. uh that uh I I don't know why we we've been given free will. So people not protecting themselves and asking other people to do their work for them. It's incredible.

[00:21:36]But Satoshi didn't ask us to change.

[00:21:38]That's the beauty of sound money. That's the that's the beauty of neutral money that captures deflation. Guys, the craziest part to me, one of the craziest parts is that Bitcoin is the first time of an asset that captures inflation and turns it into protecting you from deflation. I mean, think about that.

[00:21:55]It's the only protocol. It's the only thing we have out there that can protect from everything. It protects you from the AI trade. It protects you from asset prices going up or down. If it asset prices go up as you're printing a massive amounts of currency, then great, your your Bitcoin is the hardest thing known to man. It'll continue to go up in USD price. If it's deflation and say the dollar doesn't exist and fiat doesn't exist at some point, your Bitcoin becomes more valuable over time in a deflationary environment because it captures deflation. You don't know what AI company to pick to choose from and invest in. You don't have to be a hedge fund manager. You guys just have to invest in Bitcoin and eventually becomes the money and it is the money and you get more purchasing power over time.

[00:22:35]Each sap becomes worth more over time and buys you more. And even the retirement question, the retirement part of it, even if you're spending in Bitcoin, it becomes more valuable over time. So the even if you never worked again, the Bitcoin you do have continues to increase in purchasing power over time. the outrunning the speeding train question flips on its head. It flips around. That's what's truly remarkable.

[00:22:57]And that's where Bitcoin Satoshi, what he, she, they designed is so remarkable. It doesn't ask you to change cold storage and sats flow. That's it. SATs flow is the game.

[00:23:13]Paradigm minor. I don't know why again more people don't talk about that. Just keep stacking SAS. Triny said soap minor. What's good? Bitcoin is money.

[00:23:22]Use it as such. Exactly. Promote the circular economy. Replace and spend.

[00:23:26]Spend and replace.

[00:23:28]Be the change you wish to seek. Now, the irony of this that I wrote actually blog going up on on the site on my uh Substack is that Bitcoin doesn't ask you to change.

[00:23:40]However, you should. And that's the the contrast. That's the irony of life, the paradox of life. You should change. You should become a better person. In my eyes, we should all be striving to change, grow. for not growing or dying.

[00:23:52]Bitcoin doesn't ask you to do that. You can be a doctor. You can be a ditch digger. You can be an attorney. You can be a real estate agent. You can be a teacher, firefighter. It doesn't matter.

[00:24:01]Doesn't matter. It's not asking you to change who you are. It's not an improvement offer. It's not a better mousetrap. It's not an er offer. Hey, we got because the problem is in marketing, you learn that most people n better mousetrap. Okay. An er improvement offer. Uh, I'm getting better. Okay.

[00:24:20]Like, you really got to do something big, a new opportunity. Bitcoin is a new opportunity. It's a new opportunity, a new lease on life. It's not saying, "Hey, I've I've got this these better rails like XRP or a better Visa payment rail." Bitcoin is a completely separate new protocol off the Titanic. Everything else is still on the Titanic. It's a better It's just an improvement offer.

[00:24:41]It's saying, "Hey, I can get you over on this part of the boat so that way you're in the in the water last." Okay, that doesn't really help me that much. I want something different. I want a new opportunity. I want something that doesn't incentivize me to do things against myself.

[00:24:56]Can we do that? Can we do Can we have something here that doesn't incentivize politicians and and psychotic people to go to government? Can we do that? We have that. It's just called sound money.

[00:25:07]However, it's so hard to see because of government run school systems for decades teaching people nothing.

[00:25:12]Cramming a bunch of useless knowledge into their head over and over and over again. Teaching people to conform, comply, obey.

[00:25:20]Nature in life is only black and white.

[00:25:22]It's just true or false. Not understanding nuance. Not understanding that two things can be true, 10 things, a 100 things can be true. Life is gray.

[00:25:31]thinking that's just the Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street.

[00:25:37]It's not. It's not that simple. Two sides of the same coin, but not understanding those things. Not seeing the flows of money. Not truly seeing what's actually happening right in front of them. So, use it as money. Use Bitcoin. Save your Bitcoin. Save your time and energy. And the only thing that cannot be taken from you when you're when you're when you are a slave to a paycheck as Robert Kiosaki, one of my first mentors 20 years ago would always talk about then you are dragged around by the nose. You're dragged around by your ear. Wherever the laser pointer goes, you have to go. If the company tells you to jump, you ask how high. Government tells you to jump, you ask how high.

[00:26:13]when you're working two jobs already, you've been divorced maybe because of financial situations already and then you've got to be a hedge fund manager at night or you got to go to Kelsey or Poly Market just to try to get ahead and gamble because of what's going on in the world just to feel like there's some semblance of reality. I mean, just look at people that even have say say you're 60 years old or 70 years old and you have a million dollars uh in your portfolio, in your net worth, in your your 401k or whatever it might be. Do you feel comfortable living another 10, 20, 30 years? Do you think a million dollars will be enough when expenses when they just keep printing more currency and expenses keep getting greater and greater and greater? Is that are you going to outlive your money?

[00:26:52]So the older generation has that problem. The younger generation can't even get to a point where they can feel that they can't even afford anything at all. But Bitcoin doesn't ask you to change. You can buy sats right now and outrun and frontun everyone. The older generation can frontr run the nation states. They can frontr run institutions. Most institutions, news flash, aren't here. A lot of people have talked about being in Bitcoin, but they're not here. As evidenced by there only being a trillion and a half or whatever it is, give or take, in total market cap of of Bitcoin, and it's not hyper Bitcoinization yet.

[00:27:24]We're not running on a Bitcoin standard.

[00:27:25]So, you're still early. The young, same thing. You front run everyone. You can frontr run nation states. You can frontr run sovereign wealth funds. You can frontr run institutions, the biggest banks in the world. You can frontr run all all the boomers that you uh despise that I hear so much about. You can frontr run everybody. Think about that.

[00:27:44]Never have we had an opportunity. Again, I've started businesses. I've started real estate companies. I've invested.

[00:27:50]I've raised money. I've done all these things. The time and attention, energy, education, capital that is needed to do all those things is massive. The average guy or gal isn't going to do that. Can't do it. But Bitcoin doesn't force you to change. You just need to make a decision, a one second decision to choose a money that doesn't steal from you.

[00:28:17]Wear blue, love red. But doesn't ETH offer a greater runway once the Bitcoin ride lifts all ships?

[00:28:26]Maybe 8020 split. So, couple things here.

[00:28:33]I don't like anything that has a big attack surface. Number one, Bitcoin has the smallest attack surface out of any asset, any protocol there is.

[00:28:42]If I own real estate, I still pay property taxes. I still rent from the government. If I own stocks, I don't actually own them. They're on a brokerage account. Those can get frozen.

[00:28:50]I have to trust that Michael Sailor is not going to sell his Bitcoin like he and he if he said he was going to or he said said he was never going to. I have to trust that Elon Musk isn't going to get hit by a bus tomorrow.

[00:28:59]I have to trust that the board doesn't kick off Jack Dorsey from their board and now the leader the the inventor the the genius behind what their their thing Tim uh Tim well not Tim Cook but uh Steve Jobs right getting fired from his own company 30 years ago I mean all these things that you have to trust someone else the businesses I have to make I have to hope that all my vendors are paying me and doing what they're supposed to do I have to hope that competition doesn't come in and take out my business creative destruction not that these things aren't good or bad again I I believe in capitalism and these things happening. But for the average person to sit here and try to become a hedge fund manager and pick, you know, Cali and Poly Market and sports gamble and try to pick meme stocks and altcoins and all this other stuff and ETH and what's going that's that's psychotic. Good luck.

[00:29:44]You're going to have massive problems going forward. It's going to be Biff Tan and Pleasure Paradise Back to the Future 2.

[00:29:50]Good luck.

[00:29:53]Not only that, level 10 vehicle is what I want. I want is Bitcoin going to take all $900 trillion in assets and account for that. I think there's there's a chance. I believe Jeff Booth and what that that could happen. That's another what 450x from here. Bitcoin is the money. Bitcoin is the protocol everything will be accounted in. That's a level 10 vehicle. Has the most upside.

[00:30:14]Has the most runway.

[00:30:16]Ethereum or any other if they if they're not a scam a complete scam or they don't turn into CB CBDC or something like that XRP all these are they're just cheaper faster better rails that's what a lot of them say they are for the banking system whatever like XRP for example well what's the market cap for that what's the total addressable market couple trillion 5 trillion 10 trillion even 20 trillion I don't know you tell me say it's 50 trillion That's still very small comparatively to what Bitcoin's market cap is, the money of the world, the protocol outside the system.

[00:30:58]That's the bet I'm taking. So, why would I want to cap myself? Why would I want to limit myself? And at this point, again, Ethereum, I I don't even know what Ethereum does. Ethereum doesn't doesn't even know what it does. Again, remember Vitalik started Ethereum. He was in Bitcoin was ticked because it was going so slow which fortunately it was going slow and didn't go to a million in 2010 or 10 million by 2010 because again humans operate in emotion logically speaking Bitcoin if if humans were logical Bitcoin would have become 2010 112 Bitcoin would have would have hyper bitcoinization boom we would have had it the time it takes to to go around the world and people to understand what it was and just learn about it for an hour or two or hear about it and say okay sure logical but humans are not logical creatures. We use emotion first and then we use logic. So fortunately things didn't go extremely fast. It's going decently fast. It's only been 17 years.

[00:31:50]We've had this amount of adoption so far. It's going to continue. But Vitalic got ticked because Bitcoin used physics or the laws of thermodynamics to uphold the integrity of the system. Now that's a system I want to belong in. But I'm I'm different than every other person on Earth. Everyone has their own story. I went through the fatal funnel of building businesses, investing, being in politics, seeing the scams everywhere all over the place. Not capitalism.

[00:32:16]Capitalism is a structure built on sand.

[00:32:18]The sand part was the scam. Fake fiat currencies are the scam. And if you don't understand that, if we had Bitcoin, so this is the thing. Don't put the chicken before or the cart before the horse. If you have sound money and it's upholding the integrity of the system, then there's a really good chance I'm not going to care about all the other coins. I'm not going to care about the other altcoins. I'm not going to care about a lot of the things going on in the system. Quite frankly, there's going to be a lot less malinvestment.

[00:32:45]There's going to be a lot less because remember on the Bitcoin standard, you're going to actually vet what you're doing instead of just thinking, I've got to go just spray and pray. I've got to go just, you know, hope in a prayer. This is my only way out. I'm going to gamble Kelchi Poly Market. I'm going to go create a fake company. What was the girl that created that fake medicine company and just go raise a bunch of money and that's how I'm going to live? or go become a politician and basically squeeze the system from the inside out.

[00:33:08]Those things start going away because you're not incentivized to do it as much. Not to say it'll never happen, but you're gonna have a lot less of it because the incentive is not there anymore. You might have some evil people or people being evil trying to do stuff here and there, but the incentives of the system are now such that most people don't even realize that they're doing it. They just feel the need to do it because that's the system. The system is the sin slipping through their fingers, the expenses outrunning everything they're doing in their life. and they feel compelled inside to just go do things out of activity bias or cuz I I got to go do something else or I have too much month at the end of my money, whatever it might be. So, you're forced into action without you wanting to even do it. So, those are some of the big reasons why. And again, I just believe natural state of government. Look at around the world. Look at what's happening in the UK. And this is why I brought up attack surface as the first thing. I don't want something that can be attacked uh easily. I want something that's very hard to attack, very very difficult to take from me. So ETH, all these things can be we have the Dow hack, you know, the rollbacks. Vital controls this stuff. So if a nation state wants something, guess what? ETH is totally compromised. ETH is a compromised project. So why would I want these things? Because you look at UK, what's going on there, you look at Canada, look at all these countries, massive draconian states going to start doing or keep doing more and more dracon draconian things. So why would I want to hold something that's p that's has that ability for that to happen for my wealth to be wiped out.

[00:34:32]So that that is why whether it's keeping your coins on exchanges vulnerable or just holding protocols that are vulnerable that aren't centraliz that are centralized but they all claim they're decentralized. A lot of them most of them claim they're decentralized but none of them are that have owners of the system that we're all pre-mined. That's all these coins. So coming from a first principal's perspective. Why would I want those things? Now what's the trade-off? Maybe it takes a little more time. Maybe I have to be a little more patient because there is no marketing department for Bitcoin. The marketing department is all of us. It's price things of that nature or rugpoles or black swans. Those are the marketing departments of Bitcoin.

[00:35:09]But Vitalic is the marketing department.

[00:35:12]XRP has a marketing department. All so all these they could have little bumps.

[00:35:15]It could look fun and flashy in the beginning because they have centralized owners that market for the brand for the protocol or for whatever they're building the tech that they're building.

[00:35:25]The tech company is basically what they all are. So that's why in money is money. I want money to do the accounting of a system to have a system that's built on an honest structure, honest weights and measures. Then I know what's what. Then I know what's a good investment. Then I know what's a bad investment. I can see are these altcoins actually doing something. Will they get rolled into Bitcoin someday? Will Bitcoin take the features of these systems at the second, third, fourth, fifth layer and eventually bolt those on into higher subsequent layers? Maybe.

[00:35:52]Some of them will, some of them will, a lot of them won't.

[00:35:57]So, it's a great question.

[00:35:59]And so, again, people that have seen me here, many people on this channel, again, it's all from first principles.

[00:36:05]It's all from my history again. And so, that's why these are good questions.

[00:36:09]Like if you don't have the history of seeing rugpoles or if you don't have a history of reading hundreds of years of history and seeing that the natural evolution of the state of government and what continually happens and more and more draconian more and more draconian taking more rights taking more liberties then you will believe I'm not saying you uh wear blue love red I'm not saying you believe this I'm saying if you don't have history and this is why you find a lot of people in altcoins or you find a lot of people in these other asset classes because their experience is very little or their education is very short on some of these subjects and they believe, hey, everything's going to be like it's been or everything's going to be x, y, and z. The natural state of governments is to continually grow bigger, take more liberties from people until there's a mass event, till there's something really crazy, and all of a sudden there's explo because if you look at the arc of history, we've had more and more decentralization and more and more freedom for human beings. But it kind of goes into these I'm trying to think of the best way. It goes into these like little segments where it gets squeezed, squeezed, squeezed, and it blows up and expands. it gets bigger, but then it kind of gets squeezed down again. We're in one of those points where the governments of the world, the controllers are trying to squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze down. I want to be prepared for that. And then boom, we're going to have mass explosion, mass abundance. Like, I've never been more bullish about Bitcoin, uh AI, all the things that are happening right now, energy, oil, uh the uh even the quantum stuff, uh nuclear, all these things are amazing. We're going to have so much abundance. 3D printing, incredible abundance. But the accounting has to be honest. You have malinvestment. People are worried about AI taking their jobs.

[00:37:39]They're worried about AI is going to do and what people are doing with AI. Well, if you have dishonest money, then yes, I'm going to assume there's going to be dishonest outcomes and malinvestment inside of AI or other areas. But if there's honest money, then I know that there's going to be better investment throughout the ecosystem throughout AI.

[00:37:58]I can I'll be able to trust AI and more because it'll be incentives that are aligned with all of us consumers and producers instead of consumers and producers pitted against each other. So hope that helps. Again, like I said, it's coming from first principles. I'm just a person that can't stand banning the bullet holes. I can't stand being seeing the arson in the firefighter, politicians, governments, um central banks being creating the problems and then coming in saying we've got the solution. Right? So, but I know not everyone has that mindset. If you don't have that mindset or that that uh those experiences and studies or whatever it might be, then most people just skip right over that. So hopefully that helps. Hopefully that that helps. Like I said, I I don't know you. I don't I don't know. Like that's a great question because that's the premise. That's where I come from. I just studying and seeing all these things happen. So that's why I operate only from first principles. Not to say I'm perfectly right or going to be right every single time, but trying to remove cognitive dissonance, trying not to get emotional because I'll get emotional. I'm human. And then say, okay, when emotions go up, intelligence goes down. So, how can I be better in and when I feel myself getting worked up? Okay, let's return to first principles. Let's return to laws of thermodynamics, laws of physics, reality, truth, and and have faith at the end of the day. Faith in Christ, obviously, number one. But going back to Vitalic, what I was saying again, he he was getting impatient. He wanted to he didn't he explicitly said, I'm kind of I'm paraphrasing, but his his quote was, "Bitcoin uses physics. I don't want physics. I want to be able to create my own physics." I don't that's just another company. Like I I have a CEO of Palanteer or whoever I need to trust.

[00:39:34]No, I'm good. I'm good. But when we have a system, I always joke about when we go back into society, when is it's okay to go back into society and nature is healed is when we have a hyper bitcoinized world or more of a hyper bitcoinized world where people are paying me in bitcoin. My tenants are paying me in bitcoin if I bought a real estate property or apartment complex or something to that effect where I know, hey, nature's healed. It's okay. Jesus cleared the temple and now I can start coming back in and I I'll know it'll just be a broad brushstroke of generally when nature has cleared has healed and the blind, the sick, the lame, the weak, the the humble start coming back into the temple and and that's that to me and that will coincide with the maybe the the kagger or like the the the compounding annual growth rate of Bitcoin starts to come down to a point where maybe now it's 10 or 15% a year or something like that where hey, you know what, maybe it makes sense to go and this could be a years from now, five or 10 or 15 years from now where now it makes sense to start going back out into the legacy assets and start going to buy up those things. So anyway, great question. They tell you you have to wear a mask or you can't work and pay bills. Yeah, it's we'll do a whole a whole show on that.

[00:40:46]Uh just what we've lost. I'm a massive believer that we're in a modern dark age and the city of London what we've lost over the last especially hundred years.

[00:40:54]We we had massive abundance in the late 1800s and then what do you know central banks come in again 1913 the third one here in America and we've been under control since then and we have not been a sovereign nation uh in the United States most nations are not sovereign and they're pitted against each other to hate each other and to not build alliances together to not um build each other up and uh and that's what's the toothpaste is out of the tube that's what's being unearthed right now and so people are starting to see that and social media technology communications have helped that Bitcoin has helped that obviously and so people are starting to learn that and see that now. And I don't think we go back. The generation doesn't want that. They want transparency. They they don't like opakeness. They we see things in real time. And there's still things cloudiness we need to go through.

[00:41:36]But um but we're going to get there.

[00:41:38]Massive abundance coming. Massive abundance. But one second decision to get on the Bitcoin standard now to protect yourself and to know I am safe.

[00:41:47]My wealth is safe. It is. And and again, CBC's or um UB Wow, stable coins are not the answer, right? That's those are those can be censored and those can be frozen. That's what the Clarity Act genius act the Genius Act says that says that explicitly. I ran the Genius Act through Claude and it says I said who are the winners? Who are the losers? And it says right there, Genius Act will freeze. If if the government wants you to be frozen, you'll be frozen. So that's why Bitcoin will be the contract.

[00:42:13]It'll be the mirror to all this in the coming years. It is the thing people will continue gravitating to because also what will happen? Bitcoiners will continue to get wealthier. Those who buy 0.01 Bitcoin, they buy 0.001 Bitcoin, 0.1 Bitcoin, one Bitcoin, 10 Bitcoin, 100 Bitcoin. Those are people that are going to be building the future, they're going to become so wealthy over the years, they will buy businesses. They will be buying the things that people say, "Hey, you're building a whole new city. Hey, this place looks a lot better because you keep getting wealthier.

[00:42:40]That's why. And this this looks better and better and better and better." And guess what? that people just like we've seen brain drain out of cities which I've seen in Detroit and Michigan we've seen people leaving blue states and going to red states leaving countries leaving Canada for example and going to other areas this will happen as well with Bitcoiners people Bitcoiners will continue building a new world and we will have freedom cities Bitcoin citadels and people will come to those places and say I've I've had it I've had it with the CBDC's and slavery I've had it with UBI uh I'm done I'm out and they will come to the world we have to be the change. So like I said, you don't have to change in this. You should change. We should be the change. People will see that and they will come to it. They will be attracted to it. They will want that freedom. They will want that love, the unity, the gratitude, the fulfilled feeling you have when you're when you're there. Do you ignore the forest or the I love it. So I love it. Look into what it takes to run a full ETH node if you think it is decentralized. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly. And that's like again all these altcoins, all these chains. Remember, most of the most of the altcoins are scams. And whether they want more fiat from you and they're trying to extract something from you and then dumping on you or they they get Bitcoin and they're doing it to just acquire more cash to then buy more Bitcoin. These guys that run the alt chains, altcoins, everything, they they get it. They know. They understand.

[00:44:05]They're scamming you in one way or another. Either to get more fiat from you or to get more fiat from you to then buy Bitcoin. They they know what they're doing.

[00:44:12]And and so the problem is most people just don't think like that. Most people don't think in an adversarial way and scam people. But guess what? There's, you know, a million people in the world or whatever that out of 8 billion that will do that. They will do whatever. And they say, "I don't care." Like that. It is what it is. You should have been better. To each his own. That's not that's not how, right? That's uh that's that's why it's Bitcoin. Bitcoin and bust. There can only be one has never been so true. That's it. It's it's a it's fire, right? There's not we don't create new fire. Bitcoin is a protocol like like fire or the printing process or the wheel. Like you don't create another one. There's not oh hey like the wheel became better over time. It's just it's like building layers on top of Bitcoin saying okay we have Bitcoin now is scaled in layers. It's just like the wheel has scaled but you don't create a new wheel. It's not like a new formula for a wheel. And that's the same thing with Bitcoin. That's what people get confused with the technology part that uses a bunch of technologies and think people think oh it's going to be MySpace and Bitcoin or Facebook. That's not how it works. It's a protocol that's antifragile that can eat all the other technologies that it needs, but it doesn't need to eat that many. It needs to be slow. It needs It's purposely built to be money to account for everything in the world, not to build things on Bitcoin. It's scales in layers, but you don't jam up the first layer protocol. You don't, you know, spam it with a bunch of stuff. It's there to account for all the things in the world. If you want to do JPEGs or you want to do other other other coins or you want to build a car company or if you want to uh build a a Chick-fil-A or Taco Bell or Tim Hortons, whatever it is, it's there to account for all of those things. You don't put it all onto that. And so that's what Bitcoin is. The promise of I can be whatever I want to be in the world, provide more to society than I spend, save in Bitcoin, and become wealthier over time. I I always give this example of if you're a doctor and a ditch digger and the two are there working and you have one guy making 10 bitcoin a year and the other guy's making one bitcoin a year and they the doctor spends all 10 bitcoin but then the ditch digger saves.1 bitcoin at the end of 10 years who who's wealthier at the end of 10 years the doctor still has zero because he's spending everything each year but the ditch digger has one bitcoin.1 * 10 after 10 years is one bitcoin And if Bitcoin is the currency of the day and the money of the day and one Bitcoin is equal to say buying a 300 unit apartment complex, then who's wealthier? The ditch digger owns one Bitcoin could trade it for an apartment complex and the doctor looking fast going nowhere. That's the difference.

[00:46:49]That is the difference.

[00:46:52]That's tough to do. It's tough to do in the fiat world. Very tough to do. So, House of Freedom is, by the way, pretty under the radar news. Did you see the first official national stable coin news? I don't know if it's under the radar, but I was stunned. I'll be living under the first pilot. I'll be living I don't know what that means. I don't know if that's uh pilot as in Jesus's times, that kind of pilot. Um, National Stable Coin News. Are you talking about like the Genius Act? I'm not sure exactly what you're saying. I haven't today I haven't been incredibly plugged in. I had uh to record two pods earlier so I have not had tons of time to look at uh try to scan all the news but uh let me know.

[00:47:39]Uh Sat Millinario said reasons to be in Bitcoin. Number one, to reclaim financial sovereignty, yes. Number two, to protect savings from inflation. Yes. Three, to opt out of a broken monetary system. Absolutely.

[00:47:55]Yeah, you nailed it. You nailed it, Sato.

[00:47:59]Absolutely spot on. Official national fiat currency by a US company, a Palanteer. So easy to plug in. Oh, yeah.

[00:48:06]No, I have not seen that. Uh maybe we'll be talking about that in the Bitcast here in a little bit. I'm not sure.

[00:48:11]That's interesting. I'll have to look that up. Four to be free. Exactly.

[00:48:16]VD Berg, what's up, brother? Good to see you, man. I haven't I feel good. I haven't had a uh longer than like 20 or 15 20 25 minute live stream in a while.

[00:48:24]So um appreciate you guys coming on rolling on and um let me know. We might be making uh the live streams like I said it's there's plenty of current event shows out there. So we might be doing a little mix of current event and just kind of thoughts and everything.

[00:48:39]might possibly make another channel, just a fresh new channel with just pre-recorded uh talking head videos and just kind of my uh my journey and then everything that was going on in Bitcoin. So, we'll see.

[00:48:50]We're kind of playing with some stuff.

[00:48:52]Obviously, you know, we doing the pod still and stuff like that. But, you know, the live streams been doing great.

[00:48:56]Live streams across the board have been doing great. Whether it's Bitcast or BTC mastermind we do on Tuesdays or the one I do with Jorah on Mondays, 88 Sats Radio, 88 Sats Radio.

[00:49:06]But the podcast have been people have not been digging the podcast lately. So we um I've not been going after massive guests because I want to be able to talk to whoever um I want people that are super interesting. But you know depends uh people uh you know don't really care sometimes. Let's just say that um you know talking about the current events and just macro stuff all the time. Again, let's be honest, guys. If if you understand Bitcoin and you're saving in Bitcoin, a lot of the macro stuff goes to zero. Macro go pretty much goes to zero. Um, you don't need to be a hedge fund trader. You don't need to be macro guy. You don't need to be Lyn Alden.

[00:49:52]People are trying to call me. You don't need to be hedge fund manager, you know, Dr. Jeff Ross. You don't need to be Mike Green.

[00:50:00]You don't need to be Peter Schiff. If you don't need to be all these people, you do exactly what Sat said. You protect your savings from inflation. You reclaim your financial sovereignty. Opt out to have an a broken monetary system and you you be free. You have FU money. Most people are chasing FU money trying to gamble, go to the casino, GameStop, AMC, all this nonsense when they have FU money staring them in the face.

[00:50:27]Literally the only FU money that 99% of society will ever be able to have at least in USD terms. But you have FU money right now. Bitcoin in self custody. That is FU money.

[00:50:40]Cannot be taken from you. No one can tell you what to do. You are free.

[00:50:43]Everyone has this dream of telling the big boss man, f off, you know, oh, I'm going to do whatever I want. Most people just dreaming. They the the idea is cool, but they don't want to actually put in the five minutes of work, the one second decision.

[00:50:57]the hours of work to study it, whatever.

[00:50:59]They they don't want to do it. It's it's great. It's a great thought. It's fun to dream. That's what you know where it goes. What's the what's the saying of their dreams without planning uh or goals without planning? It's just dreams. You know, like that's that's what it is. But you have a one second decision to decide to use a money that doesn't steal from you and it's game over. You are now ungovernable. And just imagine if 1% of people are like that, 2%, 3%. And we'll get there. We're going to get there. But it's going to happen slowly, gradually, then suddenly we get to a saturation point and then the iceberg flips. Just happens underneath the surface. Probably the greatest thing to happen is all the focus has been taken off of Bitcoin. It's going to AI right now. The war, all the things around it's giving us great buying opportunities. Great time to stack SAS.

[00:51:44]Build your freedom stack. do things like Nostravpn, the MeshVPN that Marty Malme, the third person to receive Bitcoin on the chain on the time chain, one of the earliest developers of of Bitcoin with Satoshi, creating the ability to communicate, have a VPN, Noster plugged with Noster to communicate freely, be uncensorable.

[00:52:06]This is the time to stack now. I said this on the bitcast the other day. This is the time to build right now when times are calm. At least here in America, for the most part, war is not on our doorstep. There's not people rioting the streets, at least right at this moment here outside my door. Could be possibly where where you are, depending on where you are. But this is the time when things are generally quiet, when there's a bare market, it's the time to build. It's time to build your stack, a little starter pack, little starter kit, get yourself into self- custody, run a node. You can have your node running your local your AI agents, your local models, running the Nostravpn, running Nostra. I mean, this is it's so incredible. And then you're then you're ready. You're prepared for anything.

[00:52:50]Well, and if it comes, you're ready. And if it doesn't, great. You're still rolling. Your stuff's still private.

[00:52:55]People aren't scanning all of your information. So, that's that's what I'm focusing on going forward. I implore more people to be focusing on that moving forward because the more we can do that, the more we can be that change and remove ourselves, get off the Titanic, get off that that old network, the less power it has. And then it's not controlling us instead of trying to get back in what what's going on with current events all the time. Who cares?

[00:53:18]Who cares? It's depressing you anyway.

[00:53:20]You're mad at life. You're frustrated.

[00:53:22]And I'm speaking from my own perspective as well, right? I'm speaking from my own experience. You're getting you're getting mad at things you can't control.

[00:53:27]Who cares? Go focus on what you can control. Touch some grass. Build your local stack. Build your sovereign stack.

[00:53:34]You know, Ben's building the sovereign sessions. You know, BTC sessions is building a sovereign sessions channel.

[00:53:38]I'll probably be the biggest fan of that channel. That's that's exactly what we need to do. We need a lead from the front. VD Berg was talking with Jorah and Rad about skating where the puck is going. I thought about you. Uh yeah, those guys are awesome. Those guys are are too good.

[00:53:53]And they get it. Two Canad good Canadian boys. Both uh played hockey growing up.

[00:53:57]So, love it. Absolutely love it. Yeah, live streams are fun. It's the new TV. Yeah, it really is. It really is. It's great to It's great to just connect with everyone, too. Build your community because community is the number one thing in a survival situation. So, yes. Thank you, War Paint. Uh thank you for stating the obvious. I we needed that for sure. That was the that was the hidden secret in all of this. I think we're here to give your wife a break.

[00:54:21]Love the show. Yeah. Thanks, brother.

[00:54:23]Appreciate you being a uh a subscriber as well. Support the channel. Like I said, I put out a video the other day.

[00:54:29]Did our first subscriber video. So, if you become a subscriber, it's a couple bucks a month. And uh I just did the first video last weekend uh on there.

[00:54:39]It's like a 30-minute video. Just some uh locker room thoughts. Let's just say that. Get to be a little bit more uh real. Uh slightly bit more real. Pretty real in this channel. Always kind of wondering uh how long they'll let me last on here, but a little bit more real because it's behind the the members thing. So, I get to say exactly what's on my mind. Let's just say that. So, if you want to support the channel, check that out about all the stuff going on here. Kind of talked about some of the things we talked about here today, but expanded on it a little bit and like actual things that I'm doing uh and the things that we will be doing. I would be doing more of that in there, you know, at least once a month, but probably a couple times a month, just doing some videos whether, you know, hang out and then whoever wants to hang out. I do them live. It's not pre-recorded. So, I do them live in there and then they'll be sitting in there for members for you want to go in there to uh subscribe to the channel. So, uh, support that because the other thing I was saying in there is that we don't have as of right now, we got rid of all of our official sponsors of the show.

[00:55:35]So, we have a couple like affiliates that we still have on there like Stamp Seed and Meanwhile, but um, you know, again, we we want to support good Bitcoin only companies, but at the same time, I I might be taking them all off.

[00:55:48]I don't know. So, I want to try to provide the best experience possible.

[00:55:50]And at the same time, I don't I want to just be doing my own thing and not even be subconsciously uh you know, thinking about any of that uh extraneous noise, I guess, if you will.

[00:56:02]So, anyway, long story short, appreciate you guys subscribing to the channel. Um value for value straight up. Obviously, YouTube takes a little bit of a cut of that, but uh appreciate that. trying to trying to do more of that going forward whether it's you know Noster, Fountain, uh Spotify, some of the direct stuff just um and cutting out well yeah cutting out middlemen as much and providing a better experience. So that's long story short that's the direction right now that we are going. So let me know any thoughts, questions, concerns on that and what your thoughts are there. So War Paint just made me think of that one of the subscribers to the channel. So I thank you brother Midwest picker let's go Brandon I I love it. You always come in the streams. I have so many shirts from, you know, the four years that Biden was uh president or three years or whatever it was when that happened. I have so many shirts that people sent me shirts or they'd see me like, I got this shirt. Um, yeah. So, the problem is Vberg that the YouTube ads are, you know, YouTube already doesn't like Bitcoin obviously, so they already you already have a little bit of a thumb on the on the scale. But, uh, you know, if you're not running ads, they don't they don't like your channel as much either.

[00:57:09]like the if you're running YouTube ads.

[00:57:11]So like your own ads, they don't they don't care if you have your own ads in the show, that doesn't help them. But if you have ads running with them, then they're they promote the show more. They put it out there more. Now Bitcoin, they haven't been putting our podcast out there like at all. So we haven't changed anything we're really doing over last year, but we've seen like 80% drop in our podcast episodes pretty much, and we've changed nothing. Um, which is more than pretty much every other Bitcoin podcast out there. So, it is what it is.

[00:57:40]And so, I'm just I want to provide a better experience. And um I trying to think I was going to say, "Oh, but if you don't have ads turned on, then yeah, they they don't care because YouTube's not making any money off of it." They're like, "Yeah, okay.

[00:57:52]Why would I why would we promote your show?" Like, we don't care. So, it's just a fiat. It's a fiat game. It's a fiat system that we live in, unfortunately. But, it's like if you don't come out and put Bitcoin Bitcoiners don't put out content, you don't give in, then you don't exist at the end of the day, right? Right? It's the whole libertarian problem. If you don't show up and you don't get involved, you don't get active and you just kind of walk into the field like it's Field of Dreams and just become invisible, then you don't exist. For all intents and purposes, you don't exist.

[00:58:17]It's the Chicago Blackhawks, the Words family. They people aren't going to the games that much. They wanted more people coming, like, "All right, we're not going to show it on TV then if you guys won't come to the games." Okay, well then interest in the franchise really got destroyed because if you're not out there, then you don't exist. It's just how humans work.

[00:58:36]So yeah, BTC mastermind is great. Great group of guys. The Big Cass crew is a great group of guys. Each has their own very different chemistry, but both chemistries work very well, which is pretty pretty cool. Very very cool.

[00:58:51]Yeah, Midwest Picker, I do too. I I've used YouTube for 10 years. It's my number one platform uh more than anything else. I used like 10 10 years before I used to use a podcast, Apple Podcast, but I don't use that anymore.

[00:59:04]Um I I just been like solely YouTube and then I don't even know when it was five years ago or whatever whenever it was YouTube Premium has been unreal. Like YouTube Premium is the best thing. Not only that because kids like kids watching stuff like the kids will watch Crunch Labs, Mark Robber, incredible channel.

[00:59:21]That's they learn so much from that.

[00:59:23]YouTube Premium is amazing. It's 20 bucks a month or whatever and it's no ads. Oh my goodness. Multiple handful of accounts you can use it with. Amazing.

[00:59:31]probably the one of the best investments I've made over the last five years besides Bitcoin uh or 10 years, whatever, you know, whatever. It's uh is YouTube Premium. Then you have no ads on anything, any of the podcasts you're watching, anything. Nothing at all, right? It's just you don't have to worry about what the kids are seeing, ads popping up and like skipping it and just oh my gosh, incredible. I could not recommend YouTube Premium enough. Um yeah, thanks, dude. I Yeah, the mastermind will definitely keep going.

[00:59:57]um we the chemistry so the guys behind the scenes like everyone loves the chemistry of the BTC mastermind so we'll definitely keep that going. I think we have some other things in the works like we'll probably expand it a little bit over time. So we've been loving that.

[01:00:09]Bitcast obviously we start out one day that will just increase and we'll keep going with that too and uh that'll probably expand I would imagine over time as well as long as we're getting uh good you know people are watching and people like the content. So, uh, you know, different vibes, but, uh, ve very good. Both very good nonetheless. So, so yeah, any appreciate you guys. Any last questions, comments, thoughts, concerns? Just good to see you guys.

[01:00:39]Great chat today and hope you guys have an awesome weekend.

[01:00:43]I'm going to try to go get prepped for uh, Bitcast here, BTC Sessions channel.

[01:00:48]Check that out. You don't have to change. So the title of this today, you don't have to change. It's one decision.

[01:00:53]You'll never be financially free without this. You never will be truly financially free. You'll always have the finger over you, right? A thumb on you, forcing you, just something. But again, school system, conform, comply, obey.

[01:01:06]We're kind of used to that. Kind of sad.

[01:01:10]Yeah. Yeah. The personalities are very good. I don't know. It just works. It just works. you you you do have to have a good uh mix of people and it so it just it has to work properly. So, but I appreciate you guys a ton. I appreciate you guys um jumping in. I can't see if anyone joined as a member, so I appreciate if you did. Thank you.

[01:01:32]Appreciate that. I don't have that pulled up. Look forward to seeing more in there. Look forward to um you know, there's other stuff in there, discounts for stuff, merchandise available. So, we'll be getting that going probably next year. Cold deck, thank you.

[01:01:44]appreciate you guys a ton and um and we will I'll I'll update you guys on that too. Like I said, it'll be once at least once a month or probably a couple times a month do like a live stream for members only. Uh just chat, hang out, kind of my expanded thoughts on things, things I I don't always get to say on on all the live streams. Let's just say that. Um if you call the BTC mastermind, I I got on the heater at the end of that one last time.

[01:02:09]I was man, I was I was ticked. Um appreciate you guys. Triny, we'll see you guys. to some of you guys hopefully in 10 minutes at Bitcast 15 minutes s appreciate you have an awesome weekend guys.

[01:02:23]Yep. Cheers to you guys. Appreciate you.

[01:02:25]Appreciate you guys a ton. We'll see you like I said hopefully doing 3:30 4:00 in the future. Sticking to that time. Give us a little more time to do these live streams. Flush things out a little bit more. And uh feedback on on what you guys like. What's different? I guess that's a big thing guys. what what's not in the Bitcoin space that cuz like I said I can't stand current events like I don't I don't need when you when you actually believe in Bitcoin when you actually understand Bitcoin the current events kind of go to zero macro kind of goes to zero so on a long enough time horizon it all collapses to zero right this is the the max Kaiser when it's all going to zero against Bitcoin all of it all of it so my brain works 10 20, 30 years from now though. So that my problem is I don't even want to talk about current events of the day because to me it doesn't make sense. I want to talk about things into the future because that's where the puck is headed.

[01:03:20]So it's not it's not just a slogan necessarily, right? Or like a theme for me or hey I'm just a hockey player. It's just literally how my brain thinks. I've already seen the the guy you hammer the puck at the red line and I've see it coming on the boards, right? You already know where it's going. And so that's where to me I would just love the feedback moving forward of uh of what kind of content needs to be filled andre uh style uh content moving forward but with my filter frame sound money lens to it um as well. So maybe some of that going forward. We shall see test in the live stream but also maybe a new channel coming too but I'll let you guys know. So appreciate you guys a ton.

[01:03:59]We'll see you guys in the big soon. BTC mastermind, George channel. So much good content out there. Appreciate you guys a ton. We'll see you soon.
