1 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: The one and only Max Kaiser were sitting down doing 2 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: this and uh so we're in Phoenix and we are 3 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: on your flon tour tour. Um, I think that came 4 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: from because that came from Bitcoin Miami, and it's kind 5 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: of a continuation or how did that, how did that 6 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: come up? Come apart? Right? The Bitcoin Miami have been 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: When I came on stage to do the Michael Saylor chat, 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: it just kind of burst out. You know, Ellen was 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: in the news and uh he got a lot of 10 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: bitcoiners kind of on the wrong wrong side, and so 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: it burst out and a lot of people found it 12 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: interesting or controversial and become now a pretty interesting name. 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: Show me name the tour after this. Yeah, well you're 14 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 1: no stranger to controversy, controversy, sales, I guess well, we've 15 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: been doing journalism for almost twenty years now, and because 16 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: we did do journalism for outlets like Al Jazeera, English 17 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: Press TV, which is Iranian, RT, which is Russian, BBC, 18 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: which is communist, we we we have a lot of 19 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: controversy that blows us around, just because the journalists tend 20 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: to attract controversy if they're doing journalism. Yeah, well they should. 21 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: Well they used to do journalism not so much anymore. Right, 22 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: journalism is a lost heart. Yeah, it's a lost art. So, um, 23 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: what do you mean he got people on the wrong side. Well, 24 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: he he initially got folks interested in you know that 25 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: he was taking a look at bitcoin and buying bitcoin, 26 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: but he immediately did the rookie mistake of getting involved 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: in the ship points and number one, and then in 28 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: subsequent interviews he was kind of making fun of Al 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: Salvador as being kind of a backwater. Uh country wasn't 30 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: going anywhere. That was very rude. He was talking about 31 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: bitcoin note operators. It's not really essential or even look them. 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: So he didn't do the homework. I like Michael Sailor, 33 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: it did the homework, has done the homework, really understand 34 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: it got into it. Elon is a dileton, just flew. 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: He's a fly by guy. He's like, oh, this looks 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: cute and he's like an area. Yeah, that's a great point. 37 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: Now you are like the o G in the space. 38 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: I saw something from you the other day, like two 39 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: thousand and eleven. You were like saying, like I want 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: to get a million people into bitcoin back in two 41 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: dozen eleven, So you've been around a long time. I'm 42 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: curious to get your take on this because now I've 43 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: been in since which is all long day but not 44 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: not near as you. But um, I had my own 45 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: path down the all coins, and it seems like the 46 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: more research you do roads come back to bitcoin. And 47 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know anybody, and I'm curious from your viewpoint, 48 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: like it seems like the more work that somebody puts 49 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: in to do the research, nobody, nobody decides it doesn't work. Right. 50 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 1: It's almost like once you've done the work, like you're 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: bought in um if you if your service level like Elon, 52 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: maybe right, But have you seen that the more even 53 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: more to put the work you put in the bitcoin, 54 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: the more your conviction increases, and the morning you become 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: bitcoin maximum? Right, So nobody nobody puts the work in 56 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: and understands and goes, oh, this is never gonna work. 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: It's never seen it. It's the opposite that. Ever in 58 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: ten years, I've never seen anybody who put in a 59 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: lot of work and it was decided that it actually 60 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: was something that they weren't interested in and then never happened. Yeah, 61 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: it's never happened. So I thought that was an interesting viewpoint. Now, 62 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: I'm super interested in your take on like some international things, 63 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: because I know you've lived all around the world and 64 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: as you said, you kind of do news for these 65 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: different outlets. Um. I've always thought that, you know, specifically 66 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: around bitcoin, that at some point it's going to be 67 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: the battle for the ages, because the world doesn't want 68 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: to give up their grip on fiat specifically, the dollar 69 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: doesn't want to give up the grip on the dollar 70 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: reserve asset. But that's a that's a US centric view. 71 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: What about from other parts of the world that maybe 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have the dollar reserve asset? Do you think there's 73 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: a difference there. No, you know, starting in the the n 74 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: we just had the fiftieth anniversary of the Nixon Shock, 75 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: the Sunday ninth, you know, you must closed the gold window, 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: and we went on this massive global experiment for the 77 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: first time, all fiat money, no Fiat money backed by 78 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: anything another fiat money. And then during the fifty years, 79 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, you've had collusion. No mean, prints wrote an 80 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: excellent book Collusion. The central banks kind of worked together 81 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: in keeping interest rates artificially low by keeping the money's 82 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: big gets pumped and pouring out all this fiat money 83 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: and by essentially making it easier to commit financial fraud, 84 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: because financial fraud is financial ultimately by borrow of money. 85 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: And if the cost of borrowing money is near zero, 86 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: you are allowing and condoning all that financial fraud to 87 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: just become rampant throughout the globe. And this is what 88 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: we've seen, and this is the problems. I'm just about 89 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: every single problem you can point your finger at has 90 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: its root in too much free money. Yeah. I I 91 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: just did a video on that fiftieth anniversary that Nick 92 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: Nixon shock, and I grabbed a clip of his his 93 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: address when he announced that, and uh, there was a 94 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: lot of things that are that are important to talk about, 95 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: but one of them was he was saying, we have 96 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: to protect the dollar from the speculators, because the speculators 97 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: will one the country's were demanding goal. We don't want 98 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: the fake currency, but to the speculators, like uh, kind 99 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: of the famous A Story of Sorrows how he broke 100 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: the bank gaming un speculating. So everybody knew that they 101 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: had printed too many dollars and they would do it. 102 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: And I just thought if they never printed the dollars, 103 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have had to protect it from the speculators. 104 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: Hey guys, let me just interrupt this interview real quick, 105 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: just to plug the show sponsor, and that is block Fi. Now. 106 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: Block five is doing amazing things in the bitcoin finance space. 107 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, they've cracked some really big 108 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: news by bringing on the x cftc UM chair Chris 109 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: gian Carlo UM and they are one of the most transparent, 110 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: most heavily regulated UM companies inside the United States, which 111 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: gives me a lot of trust into what their services are. Now, 112 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 1: I've recently did a video talking about how to retire 113 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: off bitcoin, and you can do that by leveraging debt 114 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: at an interest against bitcoin. And Block five is the 115 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: number one company in the United States or maybe in 116 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: the world to go to and use UM. They are 117 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: leading the charges or paying interest on your bitcoin if 118 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: you park it with him, or you can borrow against it. Now, 119 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: as I broke down in that video, you can borrow 120 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: against your bitcoin, and when you take debt against it, 121 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: it's not taxable. It's not a taxable event. You can 122 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: use that debt for anything that you want, including to 123 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: live off of to leverage up and buy more or 124 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: roll it into another asset. UM you can do something 125 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: like I've done recently, like sell some real estate put 126 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: that money into bitcoin. Now as that bitcoin price has risen, 127 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm able to borrow against it and go back and 128 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: buy the same real estate or something similar, and I 129 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: still own the bitcoin, and I also own the new 130 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: asset as well. Lots of ways you can do this 131 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: um and block five is the company that I recommend. 132 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: Down in the description, I have a link that you 133 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: can click on. If you choose to use that link, 134 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: you can earn up the two d fifty dollars in 135 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: bitcoin just for using that link. So check out block fine. 136 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: Now all right, well, you know speculators are when policy 137 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: fails of capitalism. It's made up of free markets, and 138 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: you have buyers and sellers, and regulators regulate these markets 139 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: so that price discovery is piquin immius throughout the entire system. 140 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: And I just butchered that work. But I'm not going 141 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: to buy repronounce it nevertheless. Uh, when you have a 142 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: situation like Nixon had in nineteen seventy one where America 143 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: went too far into debt to pay for the Vietnam 144 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: War and they effectively defaulted on their gold obligations to 145 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: Great Britain by saying we're gonna send you our goal, 146 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna send you more paper money. So the speculator 147 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: in this case was Nixon and speculating that Great Britain 148 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: would take paper and not go to war. And I 149 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: think Great Britain would have justifiably sent like France sent 150 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: today a worship to uh to New York. I guess 151 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: it was to pick up their goal. So they thought 152 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: it was an active war to try to monkey around 153 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: with their money. Great Britain should have done the same thing. Really, 154 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: But so that's what the speculation. He was speculating on 155 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: the spinelessness of the British people, and he he correctly 156 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: bet that they would be jellyfish and not respond. Yeah, so, um, 157 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: that's fifty It's been fifty years. So we had, you know, 158 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: are five thousand years of gold as a monetary standard 159 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: an hour fifty years in this monetary experiment of fiat currency. 160 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: And it just seems like when you look at the 161 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: world you kind of mentioned a minute ago, like interest 162 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: rates are at zero umrillion dollars of debt, Like how 163 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: fast and how far it's come. It just seems like 164 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: how much longer can I go for it? Man? Have 165 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: they pushed it to the max? Right? The swing vote 166 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: is China. So China has been a huge beneficiary of 167 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: the monetary system in the last twenty or thirty years. 168 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: They elevated themselves from their world status up to being 169 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: a superpower. So the question is at what point is 170 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: trying to open the trapdoor in the US dollar in conjunction. 171 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: Probably will move on Taiwan. They have to feel comfortable 172 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: that they can do that, and to do that, they 173 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: have been hoarding gold quite voluminously, un hundreds of tons. 174 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: They've got the one bout one road initiative that ties China, Russia, 175 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: it ran Um and now Afghanistan will probably join that quartet. 176 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: So uh, they I think believe that they're close to 177 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: being in a position to make a move on Taiwan. 178 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: They had a trial one of Hong Kong. They co 179 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: opted Um annexed Hong Kong without any pushback. Really no 180 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: no problem there. So I think it's all go, all 181 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: go ye for Taiwan. Yeah, and what do you think 182 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: the significance of Taiwan, Well, it would the chips are 183 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: manufacturing in Taiwan. It's a hugely strategic asset for China 184 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: from the technology side, technology side, So it's uh they 185 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: wanted so UM. I think that they're going to get it, 186 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, and they've already told everybody they're gonna get it. 187 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: They took that Japan said, if you tempt it, we're 188 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: gonna step in. And they said if you even where 189 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: they say, if you even show one soldier, We're going 190 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: to nuke your whole island, I think they said. And 191 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: they have great allies, you know. I mean, Japan is 192 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: entirely depended on for an oil and they on domestic oil. 193 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: And also that would mean that there they would be 194 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: UM easily defeated. UM and UM. I think also another 195 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: major swing player and this whole thing would be Germany, 196 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: because Germany, I think, is gonna leave essentially need lead 197 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: NATO and side with Russia, China, Ran Afghanistan go east 198 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: for the pipeline. They already had that. The nord Tream too, 199 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: is already going right from Russia right to Germany. Uh 200 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: and they've got like thirty or forty percent of their 201 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: energy directly comes from Russia now and the US can't 202 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: compete on that front. And uh so I think that 203 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: will kind of tip the balance to a new century, 204 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: a new alliance, and a new The biggest trades on 205 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: the world would be the one road, one about one road. 206 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: It wouldn't be the he used currently number one that 207 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: I think overtaken by this new mass. And to your point, 208 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: China has done that all with the dollar, because they've 209 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: weaponized the dollar against us and kind built this empire, 210 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: this this whole Eurasian land mask. Um. So you talk 211 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: about it like being oil, which is kind of interesting 212 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: because obviously the dollars switched from gold back to this 213 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: kind of petro dollar. But now today we have like 214 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: this whole E. S G narrative going around and like 215 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: now we have activist shareholders taking over Exxon, and like 216 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: now they're not even gonna be in the oil business anymore. 217 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: Germany seems to want to be getting rid of all 218 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 1: their fossil fuels and even nuclear. So you still think 219 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: that has a lot of weight. Well, let me make 220 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: sure I understand the question. So E s G. Well, 221 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: it seems like the labor of the month, at least 222 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: to call it social responsible investing, and that's murphed and 223 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: morphed into E. S G. And this is a talking 224 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: point in the talking shops around the world like Davos 225 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: and things like that. So what do you exactly, Well, 226 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: it just seems like you're saying, like, tie all this 227 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: together with the oil. But it seems like at the 228 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: same time, all these countries are trying to get rid 229 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: of the use of oil, get rid of fossil fuels altogether. 230 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: So it didn't seem like could be the thing to 231 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: unite everybody when everybody seems to be trying to get 232 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: off of it. I guess was my point right there, 233 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: trying to move to renewables as opposed to fossil fuels. UM. 234 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: The oil business isn't going wet, right, you know, the 235 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: supply made the window, but the demand is not going 236 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: to Chinese cult capacity like they just went up again. 237 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: It's quite sharply UM and UM. Renewables are it's it's 238 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: it's UM. It's not really it's gonna be a factor 239 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: if you if you look at even the way as 240 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: you mentioned the petrol dollar. Right, so the entire banking 241 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: system is tied entirely to the oil industry because it's 242 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: extremely capital intensive and UM, so they're they're also not 243 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna be on board with with a switch out of oil. Um, 244 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: so E s G. It's it's a lugeon that is 245 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: you used to kind of, um have a way to 246 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: frame the narrative. You know, people would use that E 247 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: s G. To somehow, um shape news and shape the 248 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: narrative and things like that. But it's it's it's purely cosmetic. 249 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: There's absolutely no no basis. There's no no, no, no 250 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: reason to think that this is a factor at all. Yeah. Yeah, 251 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: like I said, I mean it's definitely I agree with you. 252 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: It's definitely a way to control companies and countries even 253 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: and uh it may limit the supply, but the demands 254 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: not going away, right, so we're still going to have that. 255 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: So um, I guess all this just kind of feeds 256 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: into the bigger narrative. Obviously we're bitcoiners, um, and you know, 257 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: going from the Nixon shock, Um, it's almost like these 258 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: are just ripples that have been sent out, Like all 259 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: these are kind of like effects. Um. The Afghanistan piece, 260 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: what you mentioned we were talking about before recording is 261 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: kind of a big turn of events. Um, what's happened there, 262 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: and and uh there's probably a bunch of opinions on 263 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: that but it's like as bad as that was, like 264 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: maybe that would have always been avoided if we didn't 265 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 1: have the feet currency from the Nixon Shock. Would you 266 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: say that, you know, if you have money allows you 267 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: to go in Afghanistan's for twenty years without any objective, 268 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: without any plan um, and to just funnel trillions to 269 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: defense contractors right to your buddies down the street in Washington. 270 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: That's all. It is a pastrough mechanism to channel printonalized cantellent. Yeah, 271 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: there was as a war game. There was someone put 272 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: on Twitter post from from Julian Assans from two thousand eleven, 273 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, a decade ago, and he was saying, 274 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: Afghanistan is going to be a way to funnel money 275 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: from the taxpayers to these multinational companies. And then you 276 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: see it today and it's like, exactly what you're saying, 277 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: exactly what happened? You know, it's the same thing. Yeah, 278 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: essentially the same thing, you know, I kind of I'm 279 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that America, after spending two twenty two trillion 280 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: dollars in twenty years, couldn't find Saudi Arabia on a map, right, 281 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: we went in there after nine eleven because to reprise 282 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: the attackers, and they for some you know, for twenty 283 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: nine cents you go to the gas station and buy 284 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: a world map and then their Saudi Arabia here, okay gas, 285 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: and that's not the same, right, So after twenty years 286 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: they finally figured that out. They're like, you know, we've 287 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: made a wrong turn. We went a little bit too 288 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: far the side. Well that happened. It's like in the 289 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: GPS in your car, okay, you know, the parking lot 290 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: for thirty minutes, because they keeps sending it round in 291 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: the round and round. That's American food policy. They're completely 292 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: stuck on stupid, right. But they're spending trillions of dollars. 293 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: If you have money, there's never any penalty, but they 294 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: just keep it in their pocket and they go buy 295 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: stocks and inside our training and Nancy Pelosi sixty seventy 296 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: million dollars at the time in Washington just trading an 297 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: inside information. Yeah, that's what we're paying for. Yeah, just 298 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: because list goes on and on. How money it breeds leprosy. Yeah, 299 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: And the politicians are essentially fiat lepers. They think they 300 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: live in a cave where they're just gregging all this 301 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: fee on money showing upon them from the febuaries are 302 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: banking the Treasury Department, and they're drug trolls under a bridge. 303 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: There's all the fat pigs, right, and that's what we 304 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: feat that's our taxes go. It's a pigsty vermin yea. Yeah, 305 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: you mentioned the accountability piece. So there's no accountability. So 306 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: of course if they if they're not gonna get in trouble, 307 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: they're not gonna lose their jobs, is not gonna get whatever, 308 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: then they're going to keep doing it. You know, they 309 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: just dropped palates of hundred dollar bills in to Afghanistan 310 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: and hope that it's all gonna work out well. Right, 311 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: the guy just made up at the hundred fifties hundred 312 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars of our tax money. Right, I was 313 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: hoping to buy a gold fish or something for my house, 314 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, put some life in the quarter, you got it? 315 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: Like now it's like no, it's over in Dubai or 316 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: where he's living large as a good uh you know, 317 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: out law worshiping Muslim, you know, down at the bar 318 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: five o'clock every night, washed on my money. Yeah, okay, 319 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, at least like read the crime don't be 320 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: an assholes like chapter one. Yeah, so under a sound 321 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: money standard, under bitcoin standard, under a gold standard previous 322 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: to FIAT, countries would go to war and if they 323 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: calculated wrong, if they lost, then they go bankrupt, and 324 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: then there's real consequences. Wars would end, and then there 325 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: would be consequences. They'd go bankrupt and the country would fall. Right, 326 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: that's right, Well, that's exactly right. You're you're limited to 327 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: That's why you had to be strategic. You know, you 328 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: had like Napoleon or whoever, you know, great generals because 329 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: they were able to win war is given the constraints 330 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: of their budgets. Yeah, but if you have no budgetary 331 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: constraints and you can just like sitting somewhere in Delaware 332 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: behind a video console and start killing civilians like a 333 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: video game and con tail yourself millions of dollars and 334 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: just watch dead people pile up on the street and 335 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: like give yourself a Budweiser at five o'clock. There's no 336 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: there's no reason to stop. Why would you stop? There's well, 337 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: human life has no value in that scenario. So I mean, 338 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: if Karma's coming back, you know, as Malcolm X said 339 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: that chickens are coming home to roost. Yeah. Now there's 340 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: one parallel that we both have drawn that I want 341 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: to discuss real quickly, and that was in regards to Afghanistan. 342 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: Um Well, I started out saying that, you know, we've 343 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: always kind of known that the powers that be are 344 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: not gonna want bitcoin because it's going to take away 345 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: their feat control. Um and with with with Afghanistan, we 346 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: were warned Omar warrened Bush like, hey, come out of 347 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: the bush, that we're gonna come out with everything, and 348 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: nowhere you can hide, and he said, we'll wait you out. 349 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: And so Afghanistan is notoriously has been called the graveyard 350 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: of empires. Right, so everyone that goes there it gets 351 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: defeated and then the empire falls apart. And there's something 352 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: about Afghanistan. It's just hard to kill. And so just 353 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: they don't wait everybody out. It's the Bitcoin of countries. 354 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: It's the Bitcoin of countries. It's decentralized, so you can 355 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: knock out one tribe or one hill or one group 356 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter because it's infinitely replicated throughout this 357 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: entire region and there's no way to to kill it. 358 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: For that reason, it's totally decentralize, the same reason why 359 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: a big cooin is unkillable. It's unconfiscatable, it's immutable, it's 360 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: unstoppable PDP file swapping. They've been trying to get rid 361 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: of that for decades. They can get rid of it 362 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: because it's totally distributed centralized. So that's that's what Afghanistan has. 363 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: So um, that was predictable that the US would do 364 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: exactly what they did. I think that going into Afghanistan, 365 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: if there was any game plan, it was that we 366 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: know at ultimately that we could probably blow two trillions 367 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: or more in this unwinnable war for our friends. Sound 368 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: down at the Pentagon, right, that was the plan, Like 369 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: they did say it worked out beautifully because it worked 370 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: out exactly because you know, the network of these guys 371 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: has shot up absolutely dramatically. That the wealth in America 372 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: is increased by trillions of dollars, and that's the trillions 373 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: that have been printed show up on the cap table 374 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: of the network of those people who are benefiting from 375 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: the genocide little maniacs that are running the show in 376 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: the same amount. It's like, here's here's five dollars over here. 377 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: Hold now, it's over there. How did you get there? Well, 378 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: we pretended like we had. We were looking for a 379 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: song and been longing. If I can get to stand 380 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: there eleven, then he was responsible for all that tragedy, 381 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: even though it was not them. But we won't say 382 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: nothing because Americans too stupid, and they're like, it's a 383 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: monetization of the mass stupidity of an entire nation, a 384 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: million morons being wrapped in the boat Fiat money ties 385 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: and putting the part thank you very much, Fox, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 386 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if you have spent two and a half 387 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: trillion dollars, where do you think it went? Where did 388 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: they spend it? It went to those people, right to 389 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: those contracts, the stock market, the bond market, park, avenue 390 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: of apartments and houses in the Hampton's, Medigliani's van goes 391 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: right wineries in France. That's hey, sorry to interrupt this 392 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: video just one more time. I'm not running Google ads, 393 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: so it's actually way less interruption than I normally would 394 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: have on a video. And that's because it's sponsored by 395 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: block five Um. They are opening up the world of 396 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: bitcoin and financial products, offering to pay you interest on 397 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: your bitcoin um better than owning a rental property that 398 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: you have to manage and control and have the risks. 399 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: You can just earn interest on it, or you can 400 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: leverage against it. Now, I plan to hold my bitcoin 401 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: forever and literally never sell my bitcoin. So how do 402 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: you do that? Well, if I need money, I don't 403 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: want to sell that bitcoin. I'm gonna pay tax on it, 404 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna end up with less and I 405 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: don't have the bitcoin anymore. So a better way to 406 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: do it is to borrow against the bitcoin. So I've 407 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: put all my money into bitcoin. If I want to 408 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: buy a car, or I want to buy a house, 409 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: I can borrow against it at very very low competitive rates, 410 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: get my house, get my car, whatever that may be, 411 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: and get to keep the bitcoin. I've done a whole 412 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: video on this. You can find it. I'll link it 413 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: down to the description below. How to retire off a 414 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: bitcoin without paying taxes and you can do that with 415 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: block five services. I'll link to the video down below. 416 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm also going to put a link to block five 417 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: if you choose to click on that link to check 418 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: them out. You can earn up to two fifty dollars 419 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: in free bitcoin just for using link. And that's it. 420 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: That's ahead and get back to the interview. So, um, 421 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: bringing it back to bitcoin. I mean, so obviously bitcoin 422 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: could fix this by preventing it from happening in the 423 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: first place. But I also, like I said, like to 424 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 1: think about it being hard to kill. So just like 425 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: the Afghanistan was able to wait out the US government 426 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: for twenty years, Um, bitcoin can just wait out this 427 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: whole mess that's happening. I guess what is it if 428 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: you stand by the river long enough you see the 429 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: bodies of your enemies coming by a kind of a thing. 430 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: I read an proper this week. I learned something which 431 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: goes you have the watches, we have the time. I 432 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: like that, right, I like that? Yeah, Bitcoin is just 433 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: hop the zen moment of Hottle. It's like, um, you 434 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: cannot be. The only weapon they have to fight Bitcoin 435 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: with is to print more money and of course increases, Um, 436 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: the ash rain increases, the security increases the price. Yea. 437 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: So the more you attacked me, actually, my Dneworth skyrockets, 438 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: thank you very much. So attacked me all day long, 439 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: please you know. And and the more they attack it, 440 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: the more they prove the use case for it. Almost right, 441 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,959 Speaker 1: Like if the government says don't do drugs, doesn't make 442 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: you want to go do drugs. When they say you 443 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: don't have the right to store your wealth in a 444 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: way we can't confiscate that, it makes me want to 445 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: do that. Well, it opens up people's eyes like, well, 446 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: what's what's going on here? Why are you concerned about this? 447 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: And some people jump into the rabbit hole. And as 448 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: we're saying before, the more you learn about and your 449 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: conviction goes up, and then you the network effect kicks 450 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: in and now you've got two hundred million users soon 451 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: it will be two billion users. And all the math 452 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: is on our side. You know, all the math is 453 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: on our side, and all the Fiat money bizarre, uh, 454 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, runaway nightmare that's going on is also working 455 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: in our favor. And there's absolutely no possible way that 456 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: the central banks of any country right now, with the 457 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: exclusion of Russia, are able to actually raise interest rates 458 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: in a way that would stop this runaway freight train 459 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: of hyper inflationary collapse against bitcoin. So um, I want 460 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: to get into Max's crystal ball here, okay, and not 461 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: talking about I've got two in the moment, and I'm 462 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: not talking about price because I don't care about the price. Um. 463 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: So if all we have to do is wait it out, 464 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: if we stand by the river long enough, the bodies 465 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: will fly by. Um. And it seems like, I mean, 466 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: the world is scary right now. We have a censorship 467 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: and oppression, and we have our funding terrorism and all 468 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: these things. We're you know, the financial institution or world 469 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: is ready for a reset. I mean, their backs against 470 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: the wall, and it seems like just left on their own, 471 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: they're crumbling, right. The whole system is falling apart as 472 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: you as you're making the case. Um with bitcoin, we're 473 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: even helping push it over the edge. Um. So how 474 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: long how long are we going to have to stand 475 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: by the river before we see this whole system crumble? What? 476 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: What what do you think as far as like the 477 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: future two years, five years, twenty years, etcetera. Well, it's 478 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: crumbling right now. And look different locations so and we 479 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: don't care about them because they're not recorded by the 480 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: news like other parts of the world, other parts of America. 481 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: All right, So ninety thousand dead people from oxy contin overdose, 482 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: and anyone report that on the on the cable news, 483 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: does their deaths of despair caused by money printing and 484 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: negligence and kind of a soft genocide by the pharmaceutical companies. 485 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: We have life expectancy in America going down for the 486 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: first time. We have inframortality going up. We have press 487 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: freedom sinking and not even running on even the top 488 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: thirty five anymore in the United States. So we're already crashing. 489 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: Let's just not being reported on. It's like the portrait 490 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: of Dorian Gray rights watching paint dry. There's nobody upstairs 491 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: that looks good though. This is the version of the 492 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: portrare of Dorian Gray in America. We're both the portrad 493 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: in the living room and the attic both look like ship. Yeah, 494 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: so we're witnessing and as why I said, we're's crumbling 495 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: around as and and given it just just on its own, 496 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna fall apart um. Yeah, it just seems like 497 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: we're in for quite a ride over the next couple 498 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: of years. So as long as we just huddle, al right, 499 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: I guess as you said this in case of huddle, 500 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: will just weight long enough. Yeah, that's the best thing 501 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: anyone can do. So Bitcoin was a gift and it 502 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: gives us a way to hoddle through this period in 503 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: history and to come out the other side of it. Um, 504 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: do you think of it in terms of like holding 505 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: holding my purchasing power so that when we come on 506 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: the other side of it, as you said, then we 507 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: still have wealth that we can buy more goods and 508 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: services as opposed to buying this four number go up 509 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: technology and I'm we're all going to get rich. And 510 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: by lambos right, is it the insurance or is it 511 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: investment or is it both? You know, you do come 512 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: out the other side of it with your purchasing power, 513 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: but you know, more more crucially, you come out the 514 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: other side of it with something. Because we're heading into 515 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: a situation where well, it's just going to be confiscated. 516 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: In Germany right now, the yield curve on the entire 517 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: German bond market is negative in nominal terms, and they're 518 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: now applying that to the people's bank accounts, their savings account. 519 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: So they're just confiscating money. It out of your bank 520 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: account in Germany right now. Um, they're just taking your money. Um. 521 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: So this is gonna be the situation all over the world. 522 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: In the US, we have the world reserve currency, the 523 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: US dollars, so slightly different but inflation does effectively the 524 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: same thing. So they're just stealing money through the money printing, 525 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: which causes all the inflation. And so it's confiscational wealth. 526 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: So it's it's about preserving purchasing power, but more importantly, 527 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: it's about having some wealth. It's unconfiscatable, it's unsensible. Uh, 528 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: It's it's like if you were escaping Nazi Germany and 529 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: and all, and you had no ability to walk out 530 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: of there with anything. You were completely naked, but you 531 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: had a sea phrase, a bitcoin in your mind of 532 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: twelve words, you could move a billion dollars. I could 533 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: go to the airport tomorrow, completely naked, walk land anywhere 534 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: in the world and have my wealth completely intact if 535 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: I just have to remember those twelve seed words in 536 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: the I thought about that in Uh, seeing those pictures 537 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: of all those Afghanists, I'll just people in Afghanistan trying 538 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: to escape and there's whatever, haven't hearn People loaded onto 539 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: one of those planes and they didn't have anything with them. 540 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: They had no luggage, they didn't have they didn't have 541 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: bars of gold, they weren't carrying their bank accounts or 542 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 1: their or their real estate. But they could and they 543 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: probably didn't. But that's where bitcoin comes in. They could 544 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: just know those words in their head, right, and it 545 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: does give you some peace of mind. Also, let's say 546 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: you're in a stressful situation like in Australia right now, 547 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: which has gone essentially you know, they're they're making the 548 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: Nazis I think lush. You know, like the Nazis would 549 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: look back and you know, if they can you look 550 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: in history, they would look to seeing what Australian government 551 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: and they'd be like, you guys, get it, good job. Yeah, right, 552 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: So they got an incredible advantage if you can actually 553 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: give yourself peace of mind by at least knowing that 554 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the day they cannot confiscate that. 555 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: You know, they could take my gold teeth, they could 556 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: take my liver, if they could take my kidney, right, 557 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: but they can't take my sea friends. Yeah, so that 558 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: gives me some piece of my and like ultimately, um, 559 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: and they can only kind of fund themselves to FA money. 560 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: So we know that that's that's a path to annihilation. 561 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: So we get to get at the last laugh and 562 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: hopefully in the craziness of the world that we have 563 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: right now, people are realizing that if you want to 564 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: remain free, you might have to be able to move 565 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: around a little bit, and so you want to be 566 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: able to be agile with your wealth. And if you're 567 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, if we look back to Nazi Germany early 568 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: days and not to Germany, um, the rich, the rich 569 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: Jews in Germany, they didn't want to leave because they 570 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: had all their wealth and they were stuck there, right, 571 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: and so being able to have that wealthy portable right Germany, 572 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: So being able to be portable with your wealth is 573 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: going to be a massive benefit in these coming years. 574 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: I think that's the key difference that is actually possible. 575 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: You have digital gold that is completely portable, and you 576 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 1: can't do it with gold or silver, it's not portable 577 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: like yeah, so that's it's a very remarkable thing. So 578 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: there will be bitcoiners left over after the Fiat holocaust. 579 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: There will be bigcoiners remaining who can restart civilization and 580 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: we'll be fucking like funnies and restarting humankind as bitcoiners. 581 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: You know that there may only be you know, I 582 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: don't know how many left the big coiners troop bitcoiners 583 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: that they will be inherent civilization and we will have 584 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,479 Speaker 1: to start over again. We have to avoid large gatherings 585 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: so they don't take us all out at one time. 586 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: That's decentralized, decized everywhere there's that will be a pocket. Right. 587 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: So let's say that the U. S. Military decided to 588 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: drop a nuclear bomb on a Texas bit mining farm. Okay, 589 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: they'll still be farming in Iceland. Yea. So we saw 590 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: the network go down in China exactly, didn't even do anything, exactly, 591 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: did not hurt TikTok, next block and stop. The Bitcoin 592 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: protocol kept going and going and going. That's our savior. 593 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: You know. We want to make it to the other 594 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: side so we can be pro creating, starting civilization in 595 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: a massive orgy of bitcoin. Let's do it. Yeah, well good, 596 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: I mean that's a lot of stuff that we went through. 597 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: I love I love that point of just being hard 598 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: to kill that decentralized and just waiting long enough because 599 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: we know the system is going to fall apart, and 600 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: so we'll do that. So and you've been a big mortal. 601 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: It's immortal. Bitcoin is immortal. Yeah right, So it has 602 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: a mysterious origin, it performs miracles, and it's immortal. Where 603 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: have we seen that before? We've seen that narrative last 604 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: a few thousand years. Yeah, so yeah, bitcoin as the 605 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: second coming of Christ is a viable idea. Yeah, I 606 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: think so. It's a distributed Christ. Well, definitely, its blooming 607 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: and you know, a billion simultaneously, the same revelation that 608 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: love be take. It's all happening at one time, and 609 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: imagine Christ two point out the essentially a bitcoin. Yeah. Nice, 610 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: Well that will wrap it up. I can't wait for 611 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: the party tomorrow night. I'm sure. I'm sure we'll get 612 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: to hear plenty of those rants. I can't I can't 613 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: wait for that energy. Yeah, what else you want to say? 614 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: Anyone else? You want to talk about more events coming up? 615 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: Or uh? Well no, I mean we got something coming 616 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: up in Paris, and and you know, I lived in 617 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: France for fourteen years, and so I know France very well. 618 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: I know Paris very well. I'd love to go back 619 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: to France anytime I can. And and then from there, 620 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: we're not sure, but we can, As you say, it's 621 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: very agile, we can hopefully do more of these events 622 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: that get people down into these kind of revival events. 623 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: So follow Max on Twitter and on YouTube, and that 624 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: way you can find out where he's gonna be, and 625 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: when he does the Paris event, it much thank you, Okay, 626 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: all right,
