WEBVTT - Inside the Bitcoin Conference: Uniting Values for Positive Change 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.800 Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Mark Mos Show, 0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:04.800 where of course we talk about each and every week 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:08.240 the decentralized Revolution, talking about the way the world is 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.720 changing right before our very eyes, from a world of centralization, 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:17.000 central planning, to a world of decentralization, deglobalization, and more 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:21.120 independent individualism, which is a good thing in my opinion. 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:24.639 Why is that a good thing? Let's talk about that 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:30.520 for a second. So there is no such thing as utopia. 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:32.839 And the reason why there's no such thing as utopia 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.800 is because your version of utopia is different than my 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.080 version of utopia. And so I could create the perfect 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.479 world for me, but it might not be the perfect 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.440 world for you. And it's very difficult for somebody to 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.360 make those decisions for you. You don't like it. That's not 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.559 how human nature works. I get good ideas all the 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.639 time to people, but they don't think they're good ideas, 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.000 or they're not motivated by those good ideas. And so 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.440 in a world of central plan in a world of globalism, 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.000 we have somebody all the way across the country, like 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.600 in the United States, we have a president making decisions 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.360 for three hundred and thirty million people as if they 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.840 have enough information for that, or you know, in this 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.520 new world of globalism, we have klau Schwab trying to 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.520 make decisions for eight billion people that he neither knows 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.080 nor it appears likes, and so of course that doesn't work. 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.120 And so the way that we have a much better 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.280 world is in a world where we are able to 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.600 choose the direction of our lives. We're able to direct 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.640 our lives in a way that we see fit. And 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.440 so in order to do that, we need more individualism. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.959 We need to be able to control that as opposed 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.680 to somebody else making those decisions for us. But also 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.000 the reason why it's even more important than just for 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.720 our own happiness is the reason that this is more 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.920 important than our own happiness because it's how the world 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.480 will have progress. So what happens is as we become 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:59.160 more individuals, we have more specialization. So in the old days, 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:00.840 you have to make your own cale, grow your own food, 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.120 build your own house, you get to do everything, and 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.040 of course most of the time was spent just trying 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.320 to figure out how to get food. But in a 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.200 world of specialization, somebody else can grow the food, somebody 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.160 else can make the clothes, somebody else can build a house, 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.640 and we can trade, and that's allowed for us to 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.520 build all types of new things and have all new 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.519 types of disciplines and science and medicine and technology and 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:27.079 all these different things. And so without that, without specialization, 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.000 we can't do that. But even more importantly, the reason 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.480 why individual is really important is because with each of 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.959 us being different, we all look at the world differently. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.520 So I might see a problem that you don't see, 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.720 and so I can go solve that. Now, just because 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.880 you don't see it doesn't mean it's not real, doesn't 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.519 mean that hundreds of millions or billions of people don't 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.080 suffer from that. It's just that's not what you're focused on. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.560 That's okay. So I see it, or somebody else sees it, 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:58.000 or maybe we see the same problem, but we have 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.000 different ideas of how to solve it, and then we 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.600 can compete in the market with our ideas and we 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.480 can try different attempts to solve these problems and see 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.320 which ones are better or worse. And that's why individual 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.400 is so important. When you go into countries like you know, 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.239 North Korea or China that are communists and they try 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.000 they really have this collectivist mindset where everybody's basically like 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.639 an automaton, like a robot. Well, they don't have the creativity. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.760 Without the creativity, they're not solving as many problems, they're 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.920 not coming up with as many solutions. There's no free 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:31.320 market of ideas, and so growth really grinds to a halt. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.440 And so that's one reason why it's so important to me. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.760 And of course as we move through this world of centralization, 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:42.119 global planning, globalism to decentralization is always the technology that 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.440 changes the world. It's what changes the way that we work, 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.880 we communicate, we organize, and we have a new technology 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.160 that is doing just that. It's a brand new technologist. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.560 Technological revolution is decentralization. We sort of we all of 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.840 a sudden have a new piece of technology. It's a 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:03.480 new building block that allows us to have this decentralization 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.320 and that's driving the world. Of course, that technology is bitcoin. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.160 Bitcoin is the technological revolution. And a lot of people 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.160 would be like, oh, well, cryptocurrencies are well, cryptocurrencies are 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.640 what they're supposed to be. Decentralized. It's decentralization that is 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.320 the revolution. And we can have another debate over which 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:25.560 cryptocurrencies are the most organized, sorry, are the most decentralized. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.080 We can have that debate at another time. Of course, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.840 I've discussed it many times, but bitcoin is the revolution. 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.960 That's what created that decentralization. And the reason why I'm 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.080 saying all that is because I just got back from 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.200 seven or eight days, I don't know, a week in Miami, 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:45.719 Florida for the largest bitcoin cryptocurrency conference in the world, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.920 and that is the Bitcoin Conference that goes to Miami 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.880 every single year. Well it's been in Miami the last 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.120 couple years. Next year it's going to be in Nashville, 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.559 And so I want to talk about what was going 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.560 on at the Bitcoin conference. If you weren't able to 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.960 get there, or even if you, I'll still give you 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.680 a different perspective on that. So I want to talk 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.000 about what happened at the conference, what it was like 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.800 to be there, what I was doing when I was there, 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.160 what talks I gave, who I was with, what events 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:12.920 I went to, so you can understand. I want to 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.000 talk about some really, really really interesting people that I 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.880 met there, who they were, what they're doing. I want 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.600 to talk about, you know, some of the most interesting 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.760 stuff I saw there, some founders there, some investment opportunities 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.560 I found there, you know, like I said, the work 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.640 that I got done there, and so much more. There's 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:39.040 a lot going on. Three presidential candidates were there, I'm amazing, 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.440 some famous authors, and so much more. It was the 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.520 event to be at. If you care about freedom, if 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:52.520 you care about preserving your rights, your human rights, then 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.280 this is an event that you should care about. Even 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.080 if you don't care about bitcoin the technology, you should 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.960 still care about this movement because at the end of 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.760 that's what it stands for. Freedom and the reason why 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.640 the bitcoin movement is so different than a cryptocurrency movement. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.880 And I say this all the time, and you hear 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:13.800 people say bitcoin not crypto, not that bitcoin isn't a cryptocurrency, 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.960 but it's because the bitcoin movement is different than the 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.760 crypto movement. Most people in the cryptocurrency space are trying 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.480 to make more money. You don't understand this isn't a scam. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.520 Look how much money I've made well in the cryptocurrency space. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.320 They're trying to get more dollars. In the bitcoin space, 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.760 they're trying to create more freedom. And one of the 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.640 biggest ways that you can see this is at the 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.159 Bitcoin Conference. I'm not sure what the attendance was this year. 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.760 Fifteen to twenty thousand people were there at the conference, 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.000 and I was there. There was a couple of days 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.400 of events before it's kind of turned into this whole 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.760 week thing. There was two days events before it's called 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.400 the thank God for Bitcoin event, which is pretty cool, 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.080 and then rolling right into the Bitcoin Conference. And I 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.839 don't think one single time did I hear anybody talk 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.640 about the US dollar valuation of bitcoin. Nobody cares about that. Instead, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.119 we talked about things like human rights. We've talked about 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:17.440 things like your political freedom. We talked about poverty in 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.200 the world and how we can solve that. We talked 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.880 about high value things that only come once you've made 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.360 that mind shift change, and so only when you get 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.360 to that can you start to think about those things. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.440 And like I said, mostly in the crypto space, it's 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.120 about how do we make more money? How do I 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.080 get more of these Fiat dollars, And that's not what 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.680 we're doing. The other thing that's just amazing about the 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:45.400 event is because everybody's coming on those ideals, they're coming 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.960 to figure out how we can solve those things. World poverty, 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:53.280 world hunger. Like I said, preserving human rights, all those things. Ultimately, 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.200 what I think it comes down to is humanity, prosperity 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:01.480 of humanity and human rights and if I summed it up, freedom. 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.000 And the reason why this important understand is because what 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.320 you hear from mainstream media is a lot of divisive 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.600 identity politics. It's all over the news today. I mean 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:17.720 the White House Press Secretary koreenen Pierre constantly talks about this. 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.040 It's all over the news constantly. It's shoved down your 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.480 face constantly. You know, women and white people and black 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.440 people and minorities and gay people and trans people and 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.600 all this stuff. We don't care about that. That's not 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.760 how we organize. We organize based off of values. And 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.280 so when you go to the Bigcoin conference, everybody's there 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.760 has come on values like freedom, which is the highest value. Now, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.160 there was all types of races and genders, and I'm 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.120 sure there was all types of preferences all that was there, 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.040 but they didn't organize based off that. They organized off 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.000 of values. And the reason why that's important is because 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.080 you could feel this electricity in the air of all 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.400 the people that have aligned have organized themselves stuff of 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.720 values and the highest level values. If you're just tuning in, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.920 you're listening to the Mark Mos Show talking about the 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.240 decentralized Revolution. I gotta take a quick break and I 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.160 want to be right back, so don't go away. I'll 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.680 bear back, all right, welcome back. If you just tune in, 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.320 you are listening to the Mark Maas Show, And like always, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.120 we're talking about the decentralized revolution. And you know, we 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.719 look at it through the lenses of politics, finance, and technology, 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.959 and of course it's technology that drives the world the most. 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:30.600 And that's what we're talking about today because the groundbreaking 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:35.600 the technological revolution not just in new technology. The revolution 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:40.640 is decentralization, decentralized technology, and of course that is in bitcoin. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.040 Now a lot of people think that bitcoin is just money, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.040 and it is money, but it's also more than that. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.440 So you have Bitcoin the network, which is the network 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.440 of computers that are all around the world and the 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.640 nodes that run the top copies of the database, and 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.280 then you have Bitcoin, the asset that moves on top 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.040 of the network. But there's lots of other use cases 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:07.200 for the network. Imagine having a borderless, permissionless, decentralized immutable, 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:12.600 censorship resistant computer network. What else could that be used 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.240 for besides money, Well, it turns out lots of things 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.360 in a world where we need where well we don't 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:22.000 need in a world where we're having more censorship than 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:26.400 ever before, when we're seeing more fraud because of changing 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:31.480 systems than ever before, we're seeing more exclusion because of 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.600 the permissions that are being required everywhere. In a world 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.240 where that's happening, then we need a solution to that. 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.960 So we would need something that's permissionless to join. We 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.440 need something that's immutable so it can't be changed. We 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.160 need something that's censorship resistant so we can't be censored. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.880 And so as these big problems are coming up all 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.160 over the world, we need a solution and that's what bitcoined, 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:58.080 the network and yes, Bitcoin the asset, are providing. Let 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.560 me just give you an example real quick, and then 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.560 I'm going to talk more about exactly what happened over 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.920 the last week. But an example that of a new 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.880 development that we're having on top of the Bitcoin network. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.200 So again, we have permission, so like for example, I 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.439 need permission from a government to bring certain goods into 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:21.800 the country because of misinformation and malinformation and blah blah blah. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:26.440 We're having censorship. We're censoring communication. You can't say that, 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.640 you can't transmit that message. We're having censorship of books 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.120 and material. And this is only rising, it's going to 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.319 be a worse problem. So for decades, I mean, I'm 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:40.559 sure longer, I mean probably thousands of years, you've had persecution. 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:45.199 You've had governments blocking the Bible from being brought into 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.720 the country. As as long as I've been paying attention 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.240 for decades and decades, I've seen people risking their lives 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:57.080 literally to smuggle a copy of a Bible into a 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.960 country like North Korea, China, something like that. Wherever they're 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.680 doing it, they have to smuggle in because they don't 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.680 have permission to bring that in. They're being censored, they 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:12.120 can't share that information, and it's and they're being destroyed. 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.479 It's not immutable. And now bitcoin has solved that problem. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.280 So now bitcoin the network, not bitcoin the asset as money, 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.320 but Bitcoin the network allows and we have it now. 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.559 We talked about this on a previous show, that the 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.079 entire King James Bible has now been put onto the 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:32.800 Bitcoin blockchain, and nobody, no government, nobody in the world 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.160 can take it down. It's immutable, can't be taken down. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.040 And if I want to send that Bible across the 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.520 bitcoin network to somebody in North Korea, China, et cetera, 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.600 nobody can stop it, block it, or prevent it. This 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.800 protects and preserves human rights. Now you might say, well, 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.520 I don't read the Bible, the Bible stupid or whatever. Okay, fine, 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.360 well what would you think that we might need to 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.160 do that? So, for example, what about three D gun schematics? 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.120 Fill in the blank. I'm not going to sit here 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.800 and run through everything that you think that could have 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.880 value on there, but you're starting to see the situation. Obviously, 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.640 money is the first killer application of that. The lady 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.280 that cuts my hair, she's from Afghanistan, and as you 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.760 might recall, the US abandoned Afghanistan. We ran with our 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.160 tail tuck between our legs, and the tally Ban took over, 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.000 and they took over a lot of things, including the 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.080 banking system. And she was telling me when I was 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.439 getting my haircut, I'd love to send some money back 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.079 to these women I know in Afghanistan, but I can't 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.839 send it because the Taliban will just take it. Well, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.720 she can send it over bitcoin. The Taliban cannot take 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.480 it that way. You're starting to see that. Anyway, let's 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.160 jump into some of the recap from the conference. It 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.880 was an amazing time, lots of things. So it was 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.920 a really busy week for me, more busy than normal. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.120 And you're gonna be hearing more about that because I 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.440 decided to do a lot of work when I was there, 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.520 and so I had access to a lot of very 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:01.160 well known people, some amazing thinkers, and I got to 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.920 sit down and record a lot of content. So a 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.559 lot of the content that I recorded with them will 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.640 be releasing that. I gave a lot of interviews when 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.880 I was there. I was on two different panels. Well, 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.920 first of all, we did a pre event for two 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.320 days and like I said earlier, was called thank God 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.960 for Bitcoin, and it actually was started off of a 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.320 book titled thank God for Bitcoin. I would highly recommend 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.320 reading that book. If you haven't already shout out to 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.160 that book, go to Amazon, order it, get it on 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.160 Amazon Audible. I think it's like a four hour listen 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.840 or read if you want to do that, I would 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.680 highly recommend it. Even if you don't like the title. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.160 It's still worth reading. As a matter of fact, it's 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:42.320 probably the most purchased and given away book that I've done. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:43.640 I bought a bunch of copies and gave them a 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:47.800 way because it's an amazing perspective on labor, on work, 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.640 on money, on savings, and lots of things like that. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.200 So they had an event. Now the book has done 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.680 so well that they've actually launched their own event. And 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.800 it was a great event for a bunch of reasons. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.520 One of them is just because, like I said, it 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.440 gave us this new perspective and allowed us to talk 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:07.480 about bitcoin in ways and just from different perspectives that 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.640 I had never thought of before. And it brought people 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.120 who were from different religions or no religion at all. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.560 It wasn't really all about that, like I said, And 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.520 so anyway started out that event. I thought that was 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.920 really really cool, brought in some really cool speakers at 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:29.480 the main bitcoin event. I gave two talks there. One 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.800 of them was on legacy systems and liberty. Legacy systems 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.280 in Liberty, I was on the presentation with James Lavish. 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.720 James Lavish, you might recognize that name. He's been on 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.640 my show a couple times. He's also my partner in 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.600 the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, which is a new fund that 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.120 we're launching to help people invest through the ecosystem. So, 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.840 like I said, this bitcoin space is so much bigger 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.800 than just money. It's now a network that allows to 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:59.040 transfer information and so there's all types of investment opportunities 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.200 through the entire eco system, not just buying the asset. 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.520 And that's what we're working on with Bitcoin Opportunity Fund. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.480 If you'd like to find out more about that, you 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:10.400 can go to Bitcoin Opportunity Dot Fund again, Bitcoin Opportunity 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.160 Dot Fund. But anyway, I was on the panel with 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.760 James Lavish and then I was also on the panel 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:19.720 with Wolf von dee Laire, who is a PhD doctorate 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.560 in economics in Austrian economics, and so we talked about 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.040 legacy systems, We talked about liberty, and we really talked 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:32.720 about how legacy systems are taking away our energy. Of course, 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:34.320 if you're a regular listener, you know I talk about 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.320 this all the time and the need to build up 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.720 this parallel economy, and I talk about we want to 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:40.560 build up a parallel econom we want to build a 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:45.800 new system to disrupt the old legacy systems. Specifically, the 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.600 main legacy systems are that I want to disrupt our media. 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.600 That's why I'm doing my own media. I don't need 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.880 to listen to CNN. You can listen to small people 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.160 like me or the Joe Rogans, etc. So media, we 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.120 want to disrupt media. We want to disrupt education. Legacy 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:06.879 education is horrible. Mike Pompeo, ex Secretary of State, I believe, 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.679 said that the most dangerous person in the entire world, 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.480 in his opinion, is the head of the US Education Department. 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.080 I forget her name off the top of my head. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.280 So we want to disrupt education. We want to disrupt health. 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.919 No longer can we trust our doctors to do or 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.400 give us information at our best interest. We can see 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.560 how they were paid and bribed to now give us 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:31.000 medication we didn't want. We want to disrupt finance and 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.160 all those things. If you're just tuning in, I'm kind 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.640 of going on a rant explaining what has been going 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.399 on over the last week when I was at the 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:43.480 largest bitcoin conference, probably the largest finance conference in the world. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.879 I'm gonna I got a whole lot more nuggets to 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.119 talk about when I come back, and I take a 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.240 quick break. You're listening to the Mark mass Show. I'm 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.720 going to talk about that, and I have an interview 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.120 coming up with an MMA Champ. Don't go away, I'll 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.359 be right back. Hi, Welcome back. If you're just tune in, 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.040 you're listening to the Mark Moss Show, and we're talking about, 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.360 of course each and every week, decentralized revolution. And I'm 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:05.200 talking about my week. I just got back from the largest, 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.920 I believe the largest finance conference in the world, certainly 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.440 the largest bitcoin crypto conference in the world, and that 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:15.160 was the Bitcoin Conference that just happened in Miami last week. 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.560 And so I was on a panel Legacy Systems and 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:19.960 Liberty talking about how these legacy systems are taking away 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.160 our liberty, how we can hope we can disrupt those. 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.400 You can find all these talks on YouTube for free, 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.040 so if you want to go check them out. I 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.919 did another another presentation on the stage and it was 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.800 called Steady Lads, and it was this was the highlight. 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:35.840 This was on the main stage in front of the 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.840 entire conference, and it was basically the macro picture outlooks. 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.280 So what's going on with the globe, you know, with 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:45.399 the global Macro American Macro, that's you know, finance, et cetera. 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.199 And I did that with Lynn Alden, who I've referenced 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.320 her work many times on this show, and Preston Pish 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.200 and Dylan Leclair and Dylan's been on the show as well. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.400 And that was a hit. It might have been one 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:01.240 of the most watched rewatched episode on YouTube, so you 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.960 can check that out as well. Just go to the 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.639 Bitcoin Magazine YouTube channel and you can find those. So 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.679 we did that in front of the massive audience. Was 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.439 pretty cool. I got to go some really fun events, 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.240 including the biggest Bitcoin Bowl in the world, and that's 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:20.520 Michael Saylor. Michael Saylor is one of the biggest bitcoin 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.240 holders that we know of. I'm sure there's bigger ones 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.359 that we don't know of. I think he's up to 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.240 like one hundred and forty thousand bitcoin at this point. 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.560 I think it's something like he owns one out of 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.680 every one hundred and fifty bitcoins or something like that. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.399 Michael Saylor went to his house, got to go on 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.240 his yacht, a big old party on his yacht. And 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.919 while I was at the party on his yacht, I 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.399 met and got a chance to actually talk to for 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:50.080 quite a while RFK Junior, who is a Democratic presidential 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:54.600 candidate hoping to potentially unseat the incumbent president, President Biden. 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.240 From that of course, RFK, I believe he's the nephew 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:01.159 of John F. Kennedy. JFK one of our I think 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.000 the last presidents who have gotten assassinated on the job. 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.800 Of course, when he was hoping to get rid of 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:10.320 the intelligence community and the Central Bank, he ended up dead. 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:12.760 So did that. That was super fun. Some of the 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.960 most amazing people I met besides RFK, which was really cool. 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:20.159 I also met RFK is running for a left a 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:25.119 Democratic presidential nomination, and I got to meet Vivik Ramaswami. 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.439 He's running for a Republican so he's on the other 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.720 side of now. Vivid Ramaswami. I've had him on my 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.840 main YouTube channel. We recently did an interview, sit down 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.879 interview with them, so you can check that out. Just 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.000 search Mark Moss on YouTube and you can find that 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.000 interview over there. Hopefully it's out already, but I got 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:42.800 a chance to sit down and talk to him as well. 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.679 That was really awesome. It was really awesome to see 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.480 that we had presidential candidates from both sides of the aisle, 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.640 proving that freedom is not political. Freedom is not some 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:58.320 fringe right wing thing, it's just human freedom. And money 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.520 should not be political either. Money is just money. It 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:03.840 doesn't need to be left or right. And so seeing 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:05.960 that we had somebody from both sides of the aisle there, 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:10.080 Republican and a Democrat, really proves that out. One of 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:13.040 my favorite people that I met there was Whitney Web. 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:18.040 She is an amazing talent. She is a national treasure. 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.320 We need to protect her. I've had her on my 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.919 main YouTube channel. You should check out that interview Whitney Web. 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.160 The interview has done amazing well. Just search Mark Moss 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:31.359
