1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,300 Joel Comm: Bank runs appear to be the in thing for 2023 2 00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:06,240 Joel Comm: and Bitcoin seems to be holding its own as the 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,959 Joel Comm: hedge against the collapse of the US dollar. Tim Draper 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,670 Joel Comm: even recommends that startups hold bitcoin for that very reason. 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,489 Joel Comm: Now the US government's going after CS and Binance for 6 00:00:17,489 --> 00:00:22,560 Joel Comm: selling illegal securities.

As for us, well, 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,700 Joel Comm: we're going to continue trolling you on this bad news. 12 00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:47,530 Joel Comm: Episode number 677. Of the Bad Crypto podcast. 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,740 S2: 543010. 14 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,890 UU: It's the Who's bad. 15 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,789 Joel Comm: Welcome to the crypto podcast. The show for the crypto 16 00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:20,819 Joel Comm: curious in the crypto serious we are trolling and. 17 00:01:20,819 --> 00:01:22,949 Joel Comm: Rolling and Travis saying. 18 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,470 Travis Wright: That is good. Yeah I bet they're thinking at this 19 00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:27,420 Travis Wright: point like oh, they're going to troll us. Like why 20 00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:30,270 Travis Wright: do I even listen to this show? Because you have 21 00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:33,480 Travis Wright: a sense of humor. You love technology and you have 22 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,850 Travis Wright: a sense of humor, so you've come to the right place. 23 00:01:35,850 --> 00:01:37,949 Travis Wright: If you take in life a little too serious, you 24 00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:40,620 Travis Wright: might be in the wrong place. But if you like 25 00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:42,600 Travis Wright: to crack jokes and have fun, be a little bit 26 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,240 Travis Wright: of a smart ass. Make make corn jokes. You're in 27 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,930 Travis Wright: the right place. You have found bad. Crypto is not bad. 28 00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:49,740 Travis Wright: We are. 29 00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:52,350 Joel Comm: We are. But are the markets bad? I don't know. 30 00:01:52,350 --> 00:01:56,400 Joel Comm: Let's take a look. Timestamp is the 4th of April 31 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,300 Joel Comm: at 1:30 p.m.. Atlantic Standard Time. Total Crypto Market cap 32 00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:07,650 Joel Comm: $1.2 trillion. Bitcoin 28,001 61 Ethereum on a 9% run 33 00:02:07,650 --> 00:02:12,030 Joel Comm: this week. Look at that spike up 1870 BNB 311. 34 00:02:12,030 --> 00:02:15,840 Joel Comm: Even with the news we're going to share about XRP 35 00:02:15,870 --> 00:02:18,150 Joel Comm: has been on a little bit of a move this week. 36 00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:23,460 Joel Comm: $0.50 Cardano 39, Dogecoin, nine and a half cents. Polygon 37 00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:26,910 Joel Comm: a buck 14. What do we got for big winners 38 00:02:26,910 --> 00:02:30,240 Joel Comm: this week? 12. Holy cow. What is. Oh, look at that. Well. 39 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,110 Travis Wright: That's pretty impressive. I'm not even heard of that. But 40 00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:39,360 Travis Wright: look at that 24 hour volume, almost $900 million. That 41 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,700 Travis Wright: to me says, Travis, you should probably look into that 42 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:43,800 Travis Wright: and see what that is, because I've not researched that. 43 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,329 Travis Wright: Casper never heard of Casper. I have heard of Casper Network, 44 00:02:48,330 --> 00:02:52,230 Travis Wright: which is great. And then look at Dogecoin right there, 30%. 45 00:02:52,230 --> 00:02:55,440 Travis Wright: That was pretty impressive. And there's some other stuff that's 46 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,959 Travis Wright: been popping up as well, but we're looking at Joel screen. 47 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,720 Travis Wright: So there we go. Those are the yeah, we'll. 48 00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:03,660 Joel Comm: We it might be time for a maybe not a 49 00:03:03,660 --> 00:03:05,940 Joel Comm: crypto roulette but for us to do a show where 50 00:03:05,940 --> 00:03:08,040 Joel Comm: we go through the top hundred and look at some 51 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,899 Joel Comm: of these that we have no idea what they are. 52 00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:12,870 Travis Wright: I think maybe the top 300 might be good because 53 00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:17,700 Travis Wright: top 100 is is is a certain class. But it's 54 00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:20,100 Travis Wright: like those ones that are I think are the ones 55 00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:24,269 Travis Wright: that are like 75 to 150 is like a really 56 00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:27,480 Travis Wright: good range probably because it's like those are the ones 57 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,450 Travis Wright: that could, you know, you can go from 150 and 58 00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:32,550 Travis Wright: next thing you know you're in the top 20 if 59 00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:35,970 Travis Wright: something hits big, right? So maybe what we'll do in 60 00:03:35,970 --> 00:03:37,620 Travis Wright: the near future is we'll take a look at some 61 00:03:37,620 --> 00:03:41,490 Travis Wright: of those maybe number 75 to 225 or something. I'm 62 00:03:41,490 --> 00:03:44,280 Travis Wright: looking at 150 of them and see like what's out there. 63 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,730 Travis Wright: So it's interesting. I think I don't dislike that idea 64 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:48,690 Travis Wright: at all. 65 00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:51,540 Joel Comm: I'm going to look at number 232 because now you 66 00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:53,190 Joel Comm: got me on a thing here and I'm just going 67 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:57,270 Joel Comm: to be totally random and go number 232 is Energy Web. 68 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:59,550 Joel Comm: Never heard of it. Not going to dig into it 69 00:03:59,550 --> 00:04:02,130 Joel Comm: right now. Going to go into the story here about Bitcoin, 70 00:04:02,130 --> 00:04:06,660 Joel Comm: liquidity has dropped to a ten month low and it's 71 00:04:06,660 --> 00:04:10,500 Joel Comm: it's getting harder, I guess, for people to to get 72 00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,070 Joel Comm: the coins that they want because of the banking crisis. 73 00:04:14,130 --> 00:04:19,590 Joel Comm: And that's where like when Bitcoin eventually does do the 74 00:04:19,589 --> 00:04:22,320 Joel Comm: pop pop, it's going to be because people can't get 75 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,420 Joel Comm: their bitcoin and they're going to buy them for whatever 76 00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:28,800 Joel Comm: they want. Remember, gang, there's only 21 million Bitcoin ever. 77 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,970 Joel Comm: About 19.5 million have been mined. It's going to be 78 00:04:32,970 --> 00:04:36,930 Joel Comm: 100 years before the final Bitcoin is mined. You got 79 00:04:36,930 --> 00:04:40,110 Joel Comm: to figure that 4 million are lost. A bunch are 80 00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:43,320 Joel Comm: in strong hands that are never selling. So you've got 81 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,800 Joel Comm: 8 billion people around the world that are going to 82 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,630 Joel Comm: be clawing their way for about, what, 13 million Bitcoin 83 00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:53,120 Joel Comm: that is? 84 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:55,260 Travis Wright: Yeah, I don't know if you mentioned how many are 85 00:04:55,260 --> 00:04:59,430 Travis Wright: potentially lost, but that's like I've heard we've heard as 86 00:04:59,430 --> 00:05:02,430 Travis Wright: few as 2 million. I've heard as many as 5 87 00:05:02,430 --> 00:05:05,969 Travis Wright: million are lost, like how many are lost? And that 88 00:05:05,970 --> 00:05:08,880 Travis Wright: says how many of them are selling them, How many 89 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,440 Travis Wright: people are wanting to get rid of their cryptos. Right? 90 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,980 Travis Wright: So it would almost seem that the you know, on 91 00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:19,800 Travis Wright: a normal cycle, Bitcoin might not be ready to rock 92 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,230 Travis Wright: and roll on a normal cycle. But if you've looked 93 00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:25,470 Travis Wright: at this economy, this is anything other than normal at 94 00:05:25,470 --> 00:05:28,320 Travis Wright: this point. And this could be the mother of all 95 00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:33,210 Travis Wright: for the collapse of well, we know the banking of 96 00:05:33,210 --> 00:05:36,360 Travis Wright: crypto friendly banks are starting to go away. It's almost 97 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,180 Travis Wright: like when you see the Restrict act and some of 98 00:05:39,180 --> 00:05:42,180 Travis Wright: the other stuff that's going on. Joel It's almost like 99 00:05:42,750 --> 00:05:45,690 Travis Wright: crypto is under fire big time in America. It's almost 100 00:05:45,690 --> 00:05:49,050 Travis Wright: like the elites have said, we don't like it almost. 101 00:05:49,070 --> 00:05:49,920 Joel Comm: It's I'm trying. 102 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,170 Travis Wright: I'm trying to not be a conspiracy guy all the time. 103 00:05:52,180 --> 00:05:55,260 Joel Comm: That's clearly under fire. There's not even a question about it. 104 00:05:55,260 --> 00:05:57,540 Joel Comm: Now you have exchanges volunteering. I got an email. 105 00:05:57,540 --> 00:06:00,539 Joel Comm: From Bittrex, which I've used in the past, and they're like. 106 00:06:00,540 --> 00:06:01,799 Joel Comm: Hey, you know what guys do. 107 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,219 Joel Comm: To questions about regulation? We're going to stop offering to 108 00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:07,740 Joel Comm: us customers, You got 30 days to get your stuff out. 109 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,240 Joel Comm: So yeah, so long. 110 00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:11,490 Travis Wright: Have a good yeah, with my son. Last night we 111 00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:13,200 Travis Wright: told him about it and he was like, Oh my God, really? 112 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:13,500 Travis Wright: And he got. 113 00:06:13,490 --> 00:06:14,480 S5: A bunch of his stuff. 114 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,710 S6: Off of there. 115 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,790 Travis Wright: And Julie had a great conversation with him last night. Actually, 116 00:06:19,790 --> 00:06:21,859 Travis Wright: we got I got on Discord Server we were working 117 00:06:21,860 --> 00:06:25,580 Travis Wright: on and I ended up having like a three hour conversation. 118 00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:28,430 Travis Wright: If you have teenagers or somebody who's in their young 119 00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:31,310 Travis Wright: 20s or, you know, under the age of 30, get 120 00:06:31,310 --> 00:06:33,950 Travis Wright: on discord with them and have a video call like 121 00:06:33,950 --> 00:06:36,320 Travis Wright: you would normally have on a Zoom business call or something. 122 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,920 Travis Wright: I think that's the kid's choice of place to hang out. 123 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,020 Travis Wright: And so give them a call and hang out and 124 00:06:42,020 --> 00:06:44,960 Travis Wright: share your screen. I was teaching him all kinds of 125 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,539 Travis Wright: AI stuff last night. Joel Which was pretty fun. 126 00:06:47,540 --> 00:06:51,230 Joel Comm: Nice. You know, one of the traditional hedges against the 127 00:06:51,230 --> 00:06:55,040 Joel Comm: the dollar falling has been precious metals. And just, you know, 128 00:06:55,070 --> 00:06:57,860 Joel Comm: to point out crazy times. Look at this, the price 129 00:06:57,860 --> 00:07:02,480 Joel Comm: of gold back over $2,000 an ounce and silver. Yeah. 130 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,970 Joel Comm: I mean, you could see when the when the rails, 131 00:07:04,970 --> 00:07:07,610 Joel Comm: you know, wheels started really falling off here off the 132 00:07:07,610 --> 00:07:09,290 Joel Comm: banking system and ba boom. 133 00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:11,300 Travis Wright: There's not even that big of like, oh my God, 134 00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,280 Travis Wright: look at that. Yeah. It's gone up 2%. 135 00:07:13,940 --> 00:07:14,140 S7: Yeah. 136 00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:19,310 Travis Wright: Right. I mean, it's like not huge, but any, I mean, realistically, 137 00:07:19,310 --> 00:07:23,360 Travis Wright: in my opinion, Joel Gold should be probably $20,000 an 138 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,450 Travis Wright: ounce if not $200,000 an ounce. Really. 139 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,000 Joel Comm: Thing is, we don't know what if, what if, you know, 140 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,240 Joel Comm: huge deposits of gold or in silver are discovered on Mars, 141 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,860 Joel Comm: You know, all of a sudden there's like we don't 142 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,930 Joel Comm: they they estimate how much is in the earth and 143 00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:38,720 Joel Comm: how much is in supply. But all of a sudden 144 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,070 Joel Comm: they could discover all these. 145 00:07:40,310 --> 00:07:43,340 Travis Wright: It's not finite. It's not like Bitcoin where there's only 146 00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:45,770 Travis Wright: 21 million because we could literally be there could be 147 00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:48,590 Travis Wright: a big, huge comet that flies by or some asteroid 148 00:07:48,590 --> 00:07:52,130 Travis Wright: that's all precious metals mostly. And there's a lot of 149 00:07:52,130 --> 00:07:55,430 Travis Wright: scientists who think that that's a probability, is that there's, 150 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:59,000 Travis Wright: you know, big meteor meteors or asteroids. I'm like, Dude, 151 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,420 Travis Wright: give me some of them's or or maybe we just 152 00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:05,150 Travis Wright: need to learn some alchemy. Joel, and turn lead into 153 00:08:05,150 --> 00:08:07,400 Travis Wright: gold and be like, Oh, I need to turn lead 154 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,490 Travis Wright: into Bitcoin. I get into gold, trade it for Bitcoin. 155 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:10,790 Travis Wright: That'd be. 156 00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:11,630 S6: Pretty good. Well, that's. 157 00:08:11,630 --> 00:08:14,720 Joel Comm: What we do as entrepreneurs, right? We're always doing alchemy 158 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,600 Joel Comm: and spinning nothing into into something. 159 00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:19,730 S6: So thoughts, into things. 160 00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:24,650 Joel Comm: This thing about season. So bitcoin is up crazily even 161 00:08:24,650 --> 00:08:28,100 Joel Comm: though Binance and CC could be in trouble. And you know, 162 00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:32,870 Joel Comm: in this story he is under investigation by US regulators 163 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:38,990 Joel Comm: and is wanted by Interpol. And so like Binance is, 164 00:08:38,990 --> 00:08:43,579 Joel Comm: is not the last exchange by any measure. There's a 165 00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:46,460 Joel Comm: lot of exchanges. But in terms of one that has 166 00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:50,000 Joel Comm: served US customers to some degree and is the biggest 167 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,640 Joel Comm: in the world, this is kind of a big deal. 168 00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:59,630 Travis Wright: This is the to me, it seems like it's it's 169 00:08:59,630 --> 00:09:03,349 Travis Wright: the final frontier, right? And it's like, here we are. 170 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:07,250 Travis Wright: We're we're fighting for decentralization. But now what's happening? People 171 00:09:07,250 --> 00:09:09,350 Travis Wright: who go, oh, no joke about conspiracies. 172 00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:10,470 S6: And government has nothing to it. 173 00:09:10,490 --> 00:09:13,970 Travis Wright: Government has everything to do with this whole thing. That's like. 174 00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:16,820 Travis Wright: So when we talk about some of these conspiracy theories, 175 00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:20,210 Travis Wright: it's not so much about, you know, all these people 176 00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:23,000 Travis Wright: are bad because I don't think most politicians are bad. 177 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,510 Travis Wright: I think there's a few that are nefarious and they 178 00:09:26,510 --> 00:09:29,179 Travis Wright: are so in it for their own public gain that 179 00:09:29,179 --> 00:09:32,840 Travis Wright: they don't want to see other people have gains. And so, 180 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,000 Travis Wright: you know, it would seem to me, based on what 181 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,580 Travis Wright: I know and the research that I've done around and 182 00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:40,370 Travis Wright: the conversation we've had with this dude, they seem to 183 00:09:40,370 --> 00:09:42,560 Travis Wright: try to do everything on the up and up as 184 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,650 Travis Wright: much as possible. And it's like if they want to 185 00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:50,060 Travis Wright: go after people. Joel Why is Sam Bankman-fried? Why do 186 00:09:50,059 --> 00:09:52,010 Travis Wright: they just let him go? He came to America and 187 00:09:52,010 --> 00:09:55,430 Travis Wright: he was immediately out of jail. Why? Because he donated 188 00:09:55,429 --> 00:09:59,510 Travis Wright: millions and millions of dollars to a certain political class 189 00:09:59,510 --> 00:10:02,240 Travis Wright: of people who said, okay, you go now we want 190 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,240 Travis Wright: to take down the other people and make people scared 191 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,300 Travis Wright: to even do business in America. Right. So they can 192 00:10:08,330 --> 00:10:11,480 Travis Wright: then kill all the crypto on and off ramps. How 193 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,819 Travis Wright: do you hedge your bet on this? Get yourself some 194 00:10:13,820 --> 00:10:15,800 Travis Wright: Bitcoin because worst case scenario is you're going to have 195 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,460 Travis Wright: Bitcoin be able to trade Bitcoin to Bitcoin and circumvent 196 00:10:19,460 --> 00:10:23,030 Travis Wright: the system that is crashing anyways. Basically, we're going to 197 00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:25,939 Travis Wright: be moving to a BRICS economy before we know it. 198 00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:31,070 Travis Wright: As the dollar becomes worth less and less and less sounds. 199 00:10:31,070 --> 00:10:33,860 Joel Comm: So conspiracy theory and yet all you got to do 200 00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:36,260 Joel Comm: is look and go, This is exactly what's happening right 201 00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:39,949 Joel Comm: before your eyes. And conspiracy theorists are pretty much batting 202 00:10:39,950 --> 00:10:44,000 Joel Comm: a thousand. So Tim Draper, always the optimist as far 203 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,170 Joel Comm: as Bitcoin is concerned, says, Hey, if you're in a startup, 204 00:10:48,170 --> 00:10:50,660 Joel Comm: then you probably want to have some Bitcoin as a 205 00:10:50,660 --> 00:10:54,050 Joel Comm: hedge because you know what money you do have. If 206 00:10:54,050 --> 00:10:57,410 Joel Comm: it's in the banks, it might not necessarily be safe 207 00:10:57,410 --> 00:11:00,500 Joel Comm: and he he might be right about that. Of course, 208 00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:02,000 Joel Comm: you know, if we went back and look at how 209 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,469 Joel Comm: many times Tim claimed something, predicted something, especially the price 210 00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:10,880 Joel Comm: of bitcoin you know he's he's been extremely optimistic about 211 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,630 Joel Comm: where the price of bitcoin is going even in the short. Term. 212 00:11:13,630 --> 00:11:16,510 Joel Comm: And it just it doesn't move like he always says 213 00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:17,380 Joel Comm: it's going to. 214 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,380 Travis Wright: But we're in a place now, Joel, where the liquidity 215 00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:23,920 Travis Wright: of available bitcoin is low, lowest that it's been in 216 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,859 Travis Wright: ten months, it's going to get lower and less and less. 217 00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:28,510 Travis Wright: People are going to want to sell their Bitcoin. It's 218 00:11:28,510 --> 00:11:30,280 Travis Wright: going to get to a point where people aren't willing 219 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,650 Travis Wright: to sell it at this price and so that's going 220 00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:35,860 Travis Wright: to move the prices up. Once Bitcoin starts cruising up, 221 00:11:35,860 --> 00:11:38,260 Travis Wright: most all the other bitcoins are going to start cruising 222 00:11:38,260 --> 00:11:40,150 Travis Wright: up as well. And so then a big bull run 223 00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:42,550 Travis Wright: is going to happen. So we are at the precipice 224 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,980 Travis Wright: of potentially an unprecedented bull run due to the fact 225 00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:53,020 Travis Wright: of aggressive regulation and people trying to put the kibosh 226 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,950 Travis Wright: on crypto. For one, they never understood it. Now they're 227 00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:58,960 Travis Wright: at the point, Oh shit, It's kind of a it's 228 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,569 Travis Wright: kind of a threat. How do we stop it? Oh, well, 229 00:12:01,570 --> 00:12:03,820 Travis Wright: we got to start killing the banks that are most 230 00:12:03,820 --> 00:12:06,250 Travis Wright: crypto friendly. Oh, which one do they start with? Which 231 00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:10,000 Travis Wright: one goes down? Oh, Silicon Valley Bank, which houses and 232 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,199 Travis Wright: helps all these entrepreneurs. So it's interesting. Is there a 233 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,610 Travis Wright: battle going on? Most likely. Is this financial advice? No. However, 234 00:12:18,610 --> 00:12:21,850 Travis Wright: pay attention because, you know, there's a lot of stuff 235 00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:23,439 Travis Wright: going on. And you know what? I was having a 236 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,720 Travis Wright: conversation with Chris Snook the other day, and I think 237 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,540 Travis Wright: I mentioned it on another show, but it's like there's 238 00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:31,000 Travis Wright: no shortage of things to look at. If you want 239 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,760 Travis Wright: to complain about something, there's no shortage of things to 240 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,030 Travis Wright: look and find that upsets you. One of the things 241 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:39,070 Travis Wright: that we like to do on this show, which we 242 00:12:39,070 --> 00:12:40,870 Travis Wright: have done for the longest time, but we still talk 243 00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:43,150 Travis Wright: about some of the things that that we bitch about 244 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,949 Travis Wright: because we don't like. We're going to let you know 245 00:12:44,950 --> 00:12:48,250 Travis Wright: about them. But we also bring really amazing technologies as 246 00:12:48,250 --> 00:12:51,400 Travis Wright: we learn, as we as we try to help everyone 247 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,189 Travis Wright: understand that things could get a little crazy. So let's 248 00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:57,010 Travis Wright: all figure this stuff out so we can find a 249 00:12:57,010 --> 00:12:58,330 Travis Wright: solution to help us. 250 00:12:58,330 --> 00:12:59,260 S6: Avoid. 251 00:12:59,260 --> 00:13:03,579 Travis Wright: Massive craziness. And, you know, we're looking for the optimistic 252 00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:06,609 Travis Wright: things and trying to intend and create great things. But 253 00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:10,300 Travis Wright: sometimes there's just crazy shit going on and it's hard 254 00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:11,110 Travis Wright: not to talk about it. 255 00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:15,160 Joel Comm: Joel And on the last episode we had Maine Senator, 256 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,329 Joel Comm: State Senator Brakey on and talked about legislation that was 257 00:13:19,330 --> 00:13:22,960 Joel Comm: going to be coming before the the Maine Senate. So 258 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,710 Joel Comm: John Deaton is going to be testifying before Maine State 259 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:29,709 Joel Comm: for a crypto policy. This has to do with the 260 00:13:29,710 --> 00:13:34,990 Joel Comm: bill that Senator Brakey is going to bring to to people. 261 00:13:34,990 --> 00:13:38,290 Joel Comm: And John Deaton has been chosen by the XRP community 262 00:13:38,290 --> 00:13:43,900 Joel Comm: to to represent the first crypto policy. It's going to 263 00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:46,800 Joel Comm: follow the standard of the Wyoming laws that have passed. 264 00:13:46,809 --> 00:13:49,089 Joel Comm: Of course, Caitlin Long, friend of the show, has been 265 00:13:49,090 --> 00:13:55,060 Joel Comm: with us many times, is helping support the the Bills advancement. And, 266 00:13:55,059 --> 00:13:57,969 Joel Comm: you know, XRP is just one of those things that 267 00:13:57,970 --> 00:14:01,720 Joel Comm: the people that are in the community, the true fanboys, 268 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,110 Joel Comm: they just they're like Bitcoin purists. They can't see anything else. 269 00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:09,250 Joel Comm: And I'm not saying it's a good or a bad thing. I'm, 270 00:14:09,250 --> 00:14:12,520 Joel Comm: I'm fine. Any, I think any crypto other than the 271 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,910 Joel Comm: Cbdcs and the Fed coin is probably going to be 272 00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:19,230 Joel Comm: good for crypto. But I like to look at all 273 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,240 Joel Comm: these things and if XRP ends up going boom, then 274 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:22,600 Joel Comm: I'm fine. 275 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,340 Travis Wright: I would not be surprised. I mean, think about it, 276 00:14:24,340 --> 00:14:27,190 Travis Wright: it's all time high. Was $3 in something. And the 277 00:14:27,190 --> 00:14:29,230 Travis Wright: reason the price is so low right now is because 278 00:14:29,230 --> 00:14:31,990 Travis Wright: it's not easy to buy for a lot of people. Like, 279 00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:34,360 Travis Wright: I can't we can't go out and buy any XRP 280 00:14:34,390 --> 00:14:36,280 Travis Wright: on Coinbase like we used to or some of these 281 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,520 Travis Wright: other ones. There's probably some VPNs and some other things 282 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,410 Travis Wright: to try to go. But that's a that's a big 283 00:14:41,410 --> 00:14:43,810 Travis Wright: hoop you got to jump through. And then a lot 284 00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:46,390 Travis Wright: of these exchanges have been doing what they can to 285 00:14:46,390 --> 00:14:49,750 Travis Wright: try to match regulations and be like, okay, we're going 286 00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:53,200 Travis Wright: to try to work with you guys. But the powers 287 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,360 Travis Wright: that be don't seem to try to be working with them. 288 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,260 Travis Wright: They're just trying to create these these ridiculous rules. And 289 00:14:59,260 --> 00:15:02,020 Travis Wright: but I like what you said about that, about Ripple and, 290 00:15:02,020 --> 00:15:03,790 Travis Wright: you know, some of the things that's going on on that. 291 00:15:03,790 --> 00:15:07,060 Travis Wright: It was $0.35 not long ago. Here it is, $0.50. 292 00:15:07,390 --> 00:15:10,430 Travis Wright: This right here could be poised to go kaput. 293 00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,810 Joel Comm: Well, and this is something interesting in this that the 294 00:15:13,810 --> 00:15:19,060 Joel Comm: question is, is the SEC being influenced by JPMorgan in 295 00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:22,480 Joel Comm: this ripple lawsuit? There's a Freedom of Information Act that's 296 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Joel Comm: been put in saying, hey, is. 297 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,330 Joel Comm: There something shady going on Here is always. 298 00:15:28,330 --> 00:15:29,290 S6: Some shady going. 299 00:15:29,290 --> 00:15:31,210 Joel Comm: On. And the answer is yes, of. 300 00:15:31,210 --> 00:15:32,710 Joel Comm: Course there is. 301 00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:33,790 Joel Comm: Of course there is. 302 00:15:33,790 --> 00:15:36,550 Joel Comm: You're talking with people that are they're greedy. They're just 303 00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:39,760 Joel Comm: in this for themselves. They want to stop anything that's 304 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,900 Joel Comm: a threat to them. And there's some confidential documents and 305 00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:48,160 Joel Comm: communications that are being asked for. I really don't know 306 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,740 Joel Comm: how this whole thing is going to pan out, but 307 00:15:50,890 --> 00:15:54,940 Joel Comm: I sure hope that Ripple I'm not cheering for XRP 308 00:15:54,970 --> 00:15:57,700 Joel Comm: as a coin necessarily. I'm not not cheering for it, 309 00:15:57,700 --> 00:16:01,780 Joel Comm: but I would like to see the government lose this case. 310 00:16:02,830 --> 00:16:04,090 Joel Comm: Well, any time the government. 311 00:16:04,090 --> 00:16:06,760 Travis Wright: The judge and the jury. And if those are stacked, 312 00:16:06,940 --> 00:16:11,200 Travis Wright: you know what happens when that happens. And now fun news. 313 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,320 Travis Wright: Dogecoin exploded. I don't think I saw this or not, 314 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,970 Travis Wright: but Elon Musk changed the Twitter icon from the bird 315 00:16:18,970 --> 00:16:20,550 Travis Wright: to the doge there. 316 00:16:20,590 --> 00:16:23,260 S6: And there it is with how. 317 00:16:23,260 --> 00:16:27,850 Travis Wright: It went up 30 something percent originally. Overall, this was 318 00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:30,280 Travis Wright: out yesterday. I think it was up 37% as of 319 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,540 Travis Wright: now in the last seven days. 320 00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:32,320 S6: So this is. 321 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,910 Joel Comm: Trolling right here. This is master level trolling that have no. 322 00:16:36,950 --> 00:16:38,470 Travis Wright: What could they say that? 323 00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:42,400 S6: Oh, you put a doge logo up there. That's doge manipulation. 324 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Travis Wright: Like if he has a bunch of dogecoin and he 325 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,859 Travis Wright: changed that logo and put it up there because that's 326 00:16:47,860 --> 00:16:50,590 Travis Wright: his stake holding, can they come at him and say. 327 00:16:50,590 --> 00:16:54,040 S6: Hey, you were manipulating your crypto Do like. 328 00:16:54,340 --> 00:16:57,550 Travis Wright: Because they could probably bust him on that because we 329 00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:59,500 Travis Wright: used to be land of the free. But it seems like. 330 00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:01,180 S6: Those kind of he doesn't care. 331 00:17:01,690 --> 00:17:06,220 Joel Comm: He doesn't care. He just does not care. He's like, 332 00:17:06,220 --> 00:17:08,619 Joel Comm: I'm the richest man in the world. Screw you. I'm 333 00:17:08,619 --> 00:17:10,120 Joel Comm: going to do what I want.

So I had 348 00:17:49,180 --> 00:17:51,609 Travis Wright: stuff going all the way back to like November. So 349 00:17:51,609 --> 00:17:53,650 Travis Wright: I just cleared all of my stuff, so there shouldn't 350 00:17:53,650 --> 00:17:56,440 Travis Wright: be any tweets of mine that's older than a month 351 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,230 Travis Wright: because you never know. Like sometimes I'll get on a 352 00:17:59,230 --> 00:18:02,220 Travis Wright: little rant phase and I'll be like responding to people. 353 00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:03,910 Travis Wright: Then I got all right, I got to I got. 354 00:18:03,910 --> 00:18:04,780 S6: To delete all those. 355 00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:07,180 Joel Comm: That reminds me, I'm probably do I do the same thing? 356 00:18:07,180 --> 00:18:09,370 Joel Comm: I like treating them as ephemeral. I feel like they 357 00:18:09,369 --> 00:18:12,520 Joel Comm: should be treated like Snapchat used to treat content. You 358 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,700 Joel Comm: put it up and 24 hours, it's later, it's gone. Like, 359 00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:19,419 Joel Comm: what's the point of having old tweets unless you're trying 360 00:18:19,420 --> 00:18:23,920 Joel Comm: to get somebody finally from space, from beyond? We got 361 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,620 Joel Comm: done talking about Elon Musk. He's doing stuff out there 362 00:18:26,619 --> 00:18:29,920 Joel Comm: in space. Well, there is a satellite that is orbiting Earth. 363 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,669 Joel Comm: It is blockchain powered, a crypto SAT, and it's going 364 00:18:33,670 --> 00:18:39,550 Joel Comm: to be a contributor to this Ethereum K, Z, G ceremony. 365 00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:45,370 Joel Comm: This is part of the cryptographic foundation for Ethereum scaling. 366 00:18:45,369 --> 00:18:49,900 Joel Comm: And this contribution is coming from outer space. What exactly 367 00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:51,640 Joel Comm: is it going to do? 368 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,270 S6: How does it all. 369 00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:52,780 Travis Wright: NICHOLS. 370 00:18:52,930 --> 00:18:54,250 S6: McCluskey. 371 00:18:54,250 --> 00:18:56,649 Travis Wright: What is this?

Oh, that's different. 373 00:19:01,270 --> 00:19:03,280 Travis Wright: It's like thought they were talking about the FBI for 374 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,080 Travis Wright: a minute. I was like, what do you mean the KGB? 375 00:19:05,740 --> 00:19:09,129 Joel Comm: Anyway, so there's a beacon out there in space and 376 00:19:09,130 --> 00:19:11,620 Joel Comm: the satellites going to be sending data that can be 377 00:19:11,619 --> 00:19:13,990 Joel Comm: verified with the use of this public key that was 378 00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:18,310 Joel Comm: created in space. And this is pointy headed stuff that, 379 00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:21,040 Joel Comm: you know, I don't understand, but it's kind of to me, 380 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,250 Joel Comm: it's just cool that, hey, there's a satellite out there 381 00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:27,609 Joel Comm: and it's on the blockchain and and it's going to 382 00:19:27,609 --> 00:19:30,489 Joel Comm: be sending packets, you know, back to Earth to do 383 00:19:30,490 --> 00:19:31,420 Joel Comm: some crazy stuff. 384 00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:32,290 S6: And, and I wonder how. 385 00:19:32,290 --> 00:19:35,320 Travis Wright: Long until Elon Musk does that with with StarLink, you 386 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,300 Travis Wright: know what I mean? It's like you're using StarLink. And 387 00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:38,980 Travis Wright: if you're using that with the Internet, then you're earning 388 00:19:38,980 --> 00:19:41,950 Travis Wright: some StarLink tokens or something. You know, it's like there 389 00:19:41,950 --> 00:19:44,020 Travis Wright: could be something cool with all of that. He's got 390 00:19:44,020 --> 00:19:46,330 Travis Wright: all these satellites already up there doing stuff, bro. 391 00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:49,540 Joel Comm: A couple new reviews here, five stars.

And so kids, Joel and 461 00:23:26,010 --> 00:23:27,780 Travis Wright: I were having this conversation the other day when we 462 00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:30,899 Travis Wright: were kids. You know, we got to see Sesame Street, 463 00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:32,850 Travis Wright: early stages of that. Joel You got to see the 464 00:23:32,850 --> 00:23:35,010 Travis Wright: very first episode of that live, right? 465 00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:37,830 Joel Comm: I did. My mom, I remember my mom picking up 466 00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:40,110 Joel Comm: the TV Guide and say, you know, sweetie, there's a 467 00:23:40,109 --> 00:23:42,780 Joel Comm: new show on with these puppets, but they're called Muppets 468 00:23:42,780 --> 00:23:44,609 Joel Comm: and it starts today. Do you want to watch it? 469 00:23:44,609 --> 00:23:46,650 Joel Comm: And I was like, Yeah, you know, it's probably five 470 00:23:46,650 --> 00:23:49,680 Joel Comm: years old, 4 or 5 years old. And we we 471 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,889 Joel Comm: watched it together. And so I still remember her coming 472 00:23:52,890 --> 00:23:54,960 Joel Comm: to me and asking me if I wanted to watch 473 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,280 Joel Comm: the show and have all the weird things you could remember.

It was like, whoa, like, yeah, 476 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,640 Travis Wright: Like I remember like, all those songs, they had like, 477 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,240 Travis Wright: positive messages and you had Mister Rogers. So PBS back 478 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:14,010 Travis Wright: in the day was all about empowering children. Now most 479 00:24:14,010 --> 00:24:18,090 Travis Wright: media is about indoctrinating in some way their own beliefs. 480 00:24:18,090 --> 00:24:21,570 Travis Wright: And so let's get back to a morality sort of base. 481 00:24:21,570 --> 00:24:24,420 Travis Wright: Here are some emotions everybody has to deal with. Here 482 00:24:24,420 --> 00:24:27,119 Travis Wright: are things and challenges everyone has to deal with, but 483 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,100 Travis Wright: you got to work through those on your own to 484 00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:33,030 Travis Wright: become a healthy adult because we all have issues we 485 00:24:33,030 --> 00:24:35,610 Travis Wright: got to deal with. And so that's kind of what 486 00:24:35,609 --> 00:24:38,010 Travis Wright: the thought process is on this as it has evolved 487 00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:41,580 Travis Wright: into its own corny kingdom of Cornucopia. 488 00:24:41,580 --> 00:24:42,689 Joel Comm: So stay tuned. 489 00:24:42,690 --> 00:24:45,180 Joel Comm: Make sure you're in the community.

This just in, breaking news for those 512 00:26:17,550 --> 00:26:20,220 Joel Comm: of you sticking with us after the disclaimer, by the way, 513 00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:24,090 Joel Comm: the disclaimer still covers stuff that comes after the disclaimer. 514 00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:26,879 Joel Comm: It doesn't have to be sequential. Back in episode 235, 515 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,070 Joel Comm: our friend Michael Turpin was on talking about the $24 516 00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:33,389 Joel Comm: million in crypto that he had stolen. I just heard 517 00:26:33,390 --> 00:26:39,720 Joel Comm: from his press person and apparently the courts have dismissed 518 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,020 Joel Comm: the case that he has. I mean, I'm just going 519 00:26:43,020 --> 00:26:46,290 Joel Comm: to read this. I'm shocked and baffled by this ruling. 520 00:26:46,290 --> 00:26:50,310 Joel Comm: This decision is especially mystifying since the court twice previously 521 00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:54,480 Joel Comm: refused to dismiss the case. Sadly, the opinion ignores long 522 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,810 Joel Comm: standing federal law and a mountain of evidence that AT&T 523 00:26:57,810 --> 00:27:02,070 Joel Comm: was grossly negligent and consciously disregarded its legal duties to 524 00:27:02,070 --> 00:27:05,280 Joel Comm: protect its customers from this type of cyber crime. He 525 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,560 Joel Comm: goes on to say, It's a sad day in America 526 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,460 Joel Comm: when a victim of blatant Internet theft of $24 million 527 00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:15,870 Joel Comm: enabled by AT&T is deprived of his day in court. 528 00:27:16,140 --> 00:27:19,140 Joel Comm: And he goes on to say, I intend to appeal 529 00:27:19,140 --> 00:27:22,290 Joel Comm: immediately to the Ninth Circuit, where I'm confident that I 530 00:27:22,290 --> 00:27:25,649 Joel Comm: will prevail. It's an important case for consumers who are 531 00:27:25,650 --> 00:27:29,340 Joel Comm: entitled to the protection of their data. And he he 532 00:27:29,340 --> 00:27:32,250 Joel Comm: is not happy. And so we thought we would share 533 00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:34,350 Joel Comm: that with you as well and hope that he does 534 00:27:34,350 --> 00:27:35,190 Joel Comm: indeed prevail. 535 00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:35,610 S6: Yeah. 536 00:27:35,609 --> 00:27:37,710 Travis Wright: So, you know what? Here's the thing. I would look 537 00:27:37,710 --> 00:27:39,840 Travis Wright: at it like this. You know, if we had a 538 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,020 Travis Wright: true justice system when we could go in and follow 539 00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:45,210 Travis Wright: the money, you'd be like, well, it'd be a lot 540 00:27:45,210 --> 00:27:47,970 Travis Wright: better for AT&T to pay a couple of million dollars 541 00:27:47,970 --> 00:27:51,960 Travis Wright: to a circuit judge or somebody. Right. Who can have 542 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,840 Travis Wright: the power maybe some day or something that can make 543 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,670 Travis Wright: something disappear. Then they have to pay. Michael Turpin $24 Million. So, 544 00:27:59,670 --> 00:28:01,980 Travis Wright: you know, it's like maybe there's a something there. 545 00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:04,740 S6: And I don't have any evidence about that. That's just all. 546 00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:07,860 Travis Wright: Conjecture. CORN Gesture. 547 00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:08,970 S6: Conjecture. 548 00:28:08,970 --> 00:28:11,869 Joel Comm: Jack What rhymes with Jack? 549 00:28:13,510 --> 00:28:14,380 S9: A raksha.
