WEBVTT - Finding The Path To Freedom | Jessica Vaugn 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.600 I found your videos like three months ago, and you 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:05.440 all you offered some hope for the despair that I 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:07.960 felt in l A. I mean, maybe not the worst place. 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:09.520 I mean maybe New York City might have been worse, 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.360 but l A has been pretty bad. So that's kind 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.800 of what you're talking about, people getting their power turned 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:15.600 off for having people at their house or something. The 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.759 problems with liberalism, but I hadn't lived long enough to 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:22.040 see them enacted in the world to understand the problems 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.599 with things like too much regulation from the government or 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.240 just just too big of government in general. The world 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.520 has been moving to this totalitarian system for a long time, 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.400 right that that's the trend. And you know China has 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.279 their social credit system and all of that going on. 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.199 How is that fair to people who have negotiated their 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.120 rate to work at and now you're devaluing their labor. 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.800 I didn't elect you to do that. Yeah. I became 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.800 a goldbug in like two thousand eight, after the Great 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.239 Financial Crash. Then I realized it wasn't so much a goldbug. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.560 I was more of a sound money advocate. Hey everyone, 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.080 welcome to another episode of The Market Disruptor Show. And 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.640 today I am sitting down with Jessica Vaughan. Um. She 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.320 is a new entrant into the bitcoin space and she 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.160 is disrupting things at a pretty rapid scale. UM. It's 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.760 been pretty amazing to see this transition that she's had, 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.440 and UM, she has such amazing insights. UM, and I 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:12.959 just wanted to bring her on and share it with 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.520 the world. So I'm not gonna go into too much. 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.120 Let's just go ahead and walk around. Jessica, thank you 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:22.080 so much for joining today. Thanks for having me. Alright, So, UM, yeah, 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.759 you've you've kind of stormed the scene. You started throwing 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.960 rocks at the fed. Got a lot of attraction that way. UM, 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.480 and you've been you have this interesting perspective, and I 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.479 want to bring this on so a lot of more 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:33.920 people can kind of hear about this. You you have 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.720 just made the comment about, you know, save yourself and 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.480 then save other people, and so, um, let's dive into that. 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.399 Before we do, maybe just kind of give us a 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:45.160 quick rundown. Um, you're you're hot on the scene. Where'd 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.120 you come from and what are you doing well? Um? 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.680 I have been a model for about a decade now, 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.680 live live in Hollywood, do production all the time. Different 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.680 roles in Hollywood. So so that's been fun. But then 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.240 the shutdowns came, so that's interrupted my life a little bit, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.240 a little a lot of it for sure. But you know, 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.760 did did some magazines, notably Playboy, f HM, maxim those 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:19.480 types of publications. So now just sort of carrying my 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.600 brand forward, trying to adapt to a new world that's 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.840 interest in you know, n F T s. And of 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.320 course A bought bitcoin about two weeks ago. So I 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.080 found your videos like three months ago, and you all 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.120 you offered some hope for the despair that I felt 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:41.720 about um changes in our country, in our world. So um, 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.840 I wanted to give bitcoin a chance because it's one 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:50.200 thing that's felt productive to me moving forward because everything else, 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.280 the understanding the reality of what's happening, brought me a 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.040 lot of depressions. So bitcoin was the first thing that 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.600 felt productive that I could have done about it, and 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.760 I felt like I was doing anything that was constructive 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.320 for myself at all. So yeah, so what I want 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.440 to dig into that because I want to tell that story. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.679 But yeah, so you got in about two weeks ago. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.880 I think you used my ref link with Swan, so 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.320 Swan Bitcoin and myself. We got you. We orange pilled 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.400 you will say that. But so you know, you kind 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.360 of have this story where you kind of had, like, 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.720 as you said, like the Tale of two mothers, right, 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.200 so you kind of had this worldview that might have 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.239 changed maybe where you had, like I hate to put 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.799 labels on things, but hey, just a real quick interruption 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.920 to let you know that this video is brought to 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.480 you add free by block Fire. Now they're giving you 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.360 the ability to hodle your bitcoin and your crypto as 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.440 it goes up in value, and at the same time 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.120 you can earn high yielding interest on it, so you 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.080 can basically hold it for all the upside potential and 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.920 then you can make cash flow off of it at 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.000 the exact same time. Now, opening accounts super fast, super simple, 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.880 and they've offered to give me up to two dollars 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.760 for every sign up, but I told them, you know what, 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.040 let's give it back to you. So you can now 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.800 go and you can get the two fifty dollars whenever 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.560 you set up your account. Always to do is just 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.320 check the link in the description for details, set up 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.600 an account super quick and easy, and turn up to 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.400 two d fifty dollars brought to you by block fire, 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.720 So check them out. But maybe I'm more liberal or 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.640 left worldview and maybe more have kind of seen things, 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.400 started to see things differently. Now, Um, you've said something 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.359 before that like, Um, once you see these things, you 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:29.320 can't un see them. Like what started to change? Was 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.920 it like the lockdowns that then started having you see 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.800 different things? Or like what was the things that you've 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.680 seen that you can't unsee? Yes, I was very much 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.600 a team liberal for all of my voting life. Um, 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.400 there were I always had an open ear to what 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.400 conservatives said about the problems with liberalism, but I hadn't 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.920 lived long enough to see them enacted in the world 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.520 to understand the problems with things like too much regulation 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.839 from the government or just just too big of government 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.160 in general. But the shutdowns in l A really made 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.760 me see that UM is somebody that worked in the 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:08.920 gig economy space, UM for freelance production in Hollywood. Um 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:14.840 it halted. It halted my income entirely, with no opportunity, 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.840 no explanation, And here we are a year later, it's 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:24.359 the same situation. So it's it was a shock. It 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.880 was a shock to see everything that the other side 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.640 had told me about and then I got to see 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.120 it then that they were turning people's waters water off, 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.599 and power if they were having guess at their house, 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.320 and just just definitely all the problems with government overreach. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.039 I got to see it front row. Yeah. I don't 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.800 think you said, are we talked about, but I mean 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:49.679 you're in Los Angeles. So my my previous home state 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.760 in California, and uh, and we were kind of talking 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.080 about offline. I mean California was kind of ground zero, right, 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.960 so in l A. I mean maybe not the worst place. 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.560 I mean maybe New York City might have been worse, 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.320 but l A has been pretty bad. So that's kind 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.760 of what you're talking about, people getting their power turned 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.479 off for having people at their house or something. Right. Yeah, 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.679 and there's been three times, you know, marches for various 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.680 causes outside the door, and you don't really necessarily want 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.760 to be front, front and center for all this stuff, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.760 but but it is accelerated, changing me more than other 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.320 states and other people that I think would be less 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:28.000 effective other than New York. Like you said, yeah, so 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.120 it happened to me quickly, but I think it will 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.200 happen to more Americans over time when they see the 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:39.520 consequences of these changes. Yeah, so then you start to 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.040 see like the government overreach and you start to see 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.560 you know, as you said, like shutting, locking people down, 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.200 turning off their power, um, taking away their ability to 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.760 earn money, things like that. Um. And then I could 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.039 see that you were starting to get like pretty unhappy 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:58.080 voicing that that that anger. Um. But then like what 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.159 do you do about it? Right? So then like you 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.280 see all the problems, but the political system is way 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.360 too big? What are you gonna do about it? Um? 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.360 And I think maybe I guess what what was your 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.280 what were thoughts there? At some point you said that 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.800 like my video started to bring a little bit of hope. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.200 But I guess before that, like we're you just thinking like, man, 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:16.840 this system is just so big, there's no way to 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.720 change this. What am I gonna do? I'm just gonna 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.000 talk about it, or or you just had no hope. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.960 I guess well, I I pretty much immediately I started 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.640 speaking out about it, and um, UM. If anybody's observed this, 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.960 they'll they'll know when when you are a liberal and 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.560 you have a diverging opinion, you get spit out of 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:38.320 the machine really quickly. You know. Um, so I got 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.680 to experience what that was like loose some friends, lose 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.240 some family, lose some you know, clients, that type of thing. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.000 But at the same time, we come from a country 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.600 of free speech, you know, and so I didn't. So 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.520 that accelerated the understanding of what you know, cancel culture 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.720 was and why I am for rejecting that. So I'm 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.760 I did about the opportunity going forward to have an 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.840 economy where we don't do that to each other. If 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.960 mainstream is going to do that, then we look out 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.440 for each other because we do support free speech. So um, 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:18.200 bitcoin was another opportunity to implement that and feel productive 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.920 about what what I was doing. So yeah, yeah, Like 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.120 what the heck happened? Right? Like we used to be 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.240 able to like talk about things like be open, especially 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.160 being in Hollywood, I mean, and you can't talk about 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.360 anything that might be deemed conservative or against that that 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.800 liberal mindsets. Crazy how things and how fast things have 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.200 shifted like that. Well, and so many people have messaged 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.520 me behind the scenes and said, hey, I work in Hollywood. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.480 I agree with you, but I'm not allowed to diverge 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.760 from the mainstream opinion in this way without you know, 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:53.200 serious consequences. So I decided that was all crazy, and 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.440 so I doubled down more on you know, saying what 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.280 I believe is true and obvious to a lot of people. 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.920 They just are willing to have the backbone. So if 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.280 I might not have a lot of sense, but I 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.600 got a lot of backbones, So well that's good. You 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.600 make up for a backbone. It's been crazy, um to 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.560 see how fast like those even like you said, friends 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.360 and whatnot, family relationships can dissolve. Um, I guess COVID 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:20.719 has been an accelerant on everything. And uh, I mean 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.040 down in Orange County where I'm at, I mean, you know, 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.680 still pretty conservative group, but so many of my good 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.400 friends and stuff like, we just just don't see eye 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.560 to eye anymore. And it's been it's been been pretty bad. 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:37.280 But um, but that does make new opportunity to make 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.439 a new community, which has been rewarding. Yeah, really fast, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.920 a bit cooin community is really welcoming and they're making 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.760 they're making, uh they're making videos of me, you know, 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.080 with laser eyes and all that kind of art. So 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.400 super fun. So, UM, I guess what were some of 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.960 the things, um, that were really bothering you? The most. 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.920 I mean, was it like not being able to work? 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.560 Was it like this cancel culture? Was it like the 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.320 school system like or the things that I guess maybe 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.120 had you the most worried if if you can think 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:14.120 back on that, well, turning off my ability to work 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.040 at the wave of the hand, Like I never thought. 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.200 I thought that the government was there to just protect 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:24.240 your constitutional rights so you could help yourself. But I 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.560 never expected them to be the barrier to actually meet. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.400 Like it wasn't this virus, it was their response to it. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.240 So it was very concerning to me that they could 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.680 just stop the flow of the machine of you know, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.880 just international travel, everything that comes through l A and um, 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.520 everything with production just requiring a you know, a well 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.520 oiled machine that rolls. So I got to see how 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.959 just throwing one rock in that with that was like 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:56.640 in the years of being productive. Um. The reason why 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.920 I asked that is because I you know, I've seen 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.720 you posting all the stuff off in this anger. Uh 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:07.720 I hate to say anger, but you know, disillusionment Okay, anger, uh, disillusionment, 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.480 whatever you wanna call it. And so yeah, a couple 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.920 of weeks ago or maybe a month ago, I'm like Jessica, like, 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:14.960 what about bitcoin? Have you taken a look at it? Right? 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.080 Maybe should come over here? And your comment was your 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.840 reply was that, um, I'm not into finance, I'm not 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.520 into money and and and that's a typical response. Um, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.840 and that's and that's fine. But the reason why I 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.679 was asking kind of like what the problems were that 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.360 you were seeing is because I believe, like almost like 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.360 if you had like this giant oak tree with like 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.079 thousands of leaves on it, and every leave is a problem, 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.720 Every leave is a problem that we might have, and 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.040 we can discuss each lead by leave, but at the bottom, 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.720 at the root is the money. And so like, if 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.000 we can fix the money, all those problems on all 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:50.280 those leaves can go away. Um and so um so 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.160 so so you jumped in and now I guess are 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.800 you starting to see that? And I want to see 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.960 that some of these problems that you're seeing, so like 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.720 the government their overreach, like they're too big. So if 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.240 we could defund them some, if we could pull back 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.400 their ability to print money, then we can limit their overreach. Right, 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:11.840 that'd be like that'd be one example. Um, you that 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.600 was brilliant. I love it. Limit government I'll vote for you. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.800 Yeah right, Well, yeah, that's the thing, like libertarians never 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.040 want to take over the world, and so they're not 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.520 motivated in the same way, so they can't get the 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.280 same traction. And it's there. There does seem to be 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.679 a lot of solutions that are just out of the 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.880 grip of immediate reach. Um. But to solve the problems 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.880 we can at least opting into a monetary solution seems 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.240 sensible to me. It seemed well within my reach. So 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.960 you told me on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.439 know what, I've been super excited about just i mean 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.160 really well for a long time, but really things are 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.360 starting to happen pretty quickly here, and it's like the 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.120 political system is captured, right, Like trying to change that, 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.960 trying to fix that at this point is probably never 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.720 gonna happen. Trying to fix the education system, try to 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.559 fix the health system, like, none of that is gonna 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.240 is gonna happen. But well, well, it's aggressively going in 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.360 the opposite direction of solutions that you and I might 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:15.000 think would be the obvious way to move forward. They're 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.440 going the opposite direction, so that you know, compounded my 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.440 frustrations yeah, and it's like what do we do about that? Like, 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.560 I mean, the school system, I mean, it's just so 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.360 far gone at this point. And and one of the 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.000 things I noticed is that, you know, as they've tried 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.360 to build it up, centralize it, and they tried to 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:38.440 scale it, their interests actually go against what our interests are. Um. 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.679 And so what we can do is we can just Okay, 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.440 go ahead, go have that system. We'll just come over 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.280 here and just build our own system over here, like 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:50.480 never mind us, We'll just go create a new money system. Yeah, 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.480 and then off that new money system, we can create 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.240 a new education system, and we'll create a new health 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.600 system over here. Um and uh. And and that that 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.720 gives me hope. Right, So you kind of look at 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:07.040 things like the world has been moving to this totalitarian 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.600 system for a long time, right, that that's the trend. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.920 And you know, China has their social credit system and 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.320 all of that going on, which I know you're aware of. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.760 And that's like the trend. And like what breaks that trend? 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.480 At what point did the government wake up and go, ah, 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.400 we have too much power, why don't we give us 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.520 little bit of freedom back? You know? Yeah, there it's 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.920 the culmination of all their dreams over all the years, 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:33.880 you know, right now, so kind of spooky, yeah, exactly right. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.240 So like what point do they just wake up and 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.320 decide to give it back to you? Right? So I 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.840 don't think they do, uh in my opinion, Um, what 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.960 breaks that is is competition. And so um, just like 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.680 I left California and a lot of other people have 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.320 left California, They've gone to Texas and now the governor 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.560 is being recalled maybe hopefully we'll see he'll see how 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.800 that goes, right, But you know, Californians realized, like, shoot, 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.280 if we don't make a change, like we're going to 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.960 be dead in the wall here. And um, eventually we'll 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.200 get governments competing for us. And I think that's what 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.360 bitcoin enables. So so you're new to bitcoin, Um, you 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:13.640 swan bitcoin? Um? And uh, tell me about your experience 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.640 like being on board, because I didn't really help you 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.480 out with that much too much, right, I just said, hey, 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.280 you should think about buying bitcoin, and you did. You 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:24.960 jumped in. How's that experience been? Pretty straightforward? I don't 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.640 understand a lot of things, you know, hot storage and 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:32.200 cold storage and all these things, But but I like 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.440 in UM intellectual endeavors. It's fun to learn it. Since 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.800 I have all this newfound time UM entering into something, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:45.760 it's it almost feels more interesting to me that I 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.360 have no real financial understanding of old world stuff, because 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.160 now I don't have to at least have to overcome 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:58.040 old ideas. It's the best. But I can learn bitcoin 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.560 and everything because it's such a popular topic now, and 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.760 luckily there's educators like yourself that are trying to help 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.880 people wrap their head around a lot of these things. 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.360 So UM it hasn't been too overwhelming, and I don't 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.240 think necessarily don't participate. You have to know everything right away, 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.760 So I mean, I think to your point, it's perfect. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.320 I mean, the more educated you are in the financial system, 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.920 almost the harder time you have seen it, right. And 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.720 that's why you see some of the biggest and best 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.000 known investors like Ray Dalio just like I can't get 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.960 my head around this because he's just he's so ingrained 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.560 in the system that's completely false and fake that he 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.800 can't see any other way. Well, people like him are 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.760 still advantageous in the process of me having not having 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:42.160 any financial understanding to to grow from UM, but to 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.240 teach people people that teach you the cash is trash. 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.680 At least that's at least the streamlined understanding that that 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:54.080 we all have. So but it seems like people's solutions 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.880 to the problem are just different. Um. You know, a 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.720 lot of people still doubling down on precious metals and 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.760 making a case for that. But it doesn't mean that 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.399 they're not educating big future bitcoiners in the process to 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.840 tell you why fiad is terrible. Yeah, and that's a 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.320 good point, and I've made that case several times. I 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.400 became a gold bug in like two thousand eight after 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.320 the Great Financial Crash. Then I realized it wasn't so 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.240 much a goldbug. I was more of a sound money advocate. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.720 And bitcoin is just a better form of sound money. 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.760 So they are fighting that same battle and they're both 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.560 doing the same education. Hey, just another quick interruption to 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.280 let you know that this video it's brought to you 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.960 add free by Block five. Now they allow you to 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.760 hold onto your bitcoin and your other cryptos for all 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.280 the potential upside, and at the same time you can 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.560 earn high yielding interest on it, so it basically cash flows. 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.520 Now with block five, you can earn up to eight 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.639 point six percent interest. You can also borrow against your 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.480 crypto as well.

When you set 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.679 up your account, check the link in the description that 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.439 I have for details in order to claim that two 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.919 and fifty Because black Fight is the future of finance. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:03.600 Just check the link in the description for all the 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.520 details of how to claim your two and fifty dollars today. So, 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.720 like for you and I for like freedom lovers, it's 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.239 like I might not like what you say, but like 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.200 I respect you're right to say it. I have a 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.479 right not to listen to it, right, But they believe 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:23.480 that UM words are violence, so by you saying something 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.040 they don't like, they consider that violence. Now, I know 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.800 you're an m M A fan. I've done martial arts 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.679 most of my life. I've trained, we're we're of the 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.200 variety that you know, even violence isn't really violence. So 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.959 I might be too far the other direction on that 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.600 to think that words are violence. But yeah, I saw 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.320 that one of them are mixed martial artists. UM Israel 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:49.840 Outisania lost a BMW deal because he made some comment, 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.520 you know, in just general ship talking to another fighter. 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.080 He made some rape comment like oh I'd rape you. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.960 That's something something like that that just meant totally down 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.960 and ate you in this situation hypothetically any loss his 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.840 BMW endorsement for that. Wow. I don't know people, and 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.639 I've seen like on these college campuses where they think 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.680 it's like violence, like and so if you say things 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:13.960 to me that I don't like, I have the right 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:18.159 to defend myself, which means beating you up. Like that's 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:23.240 like it's pretty wacko. But I think about it like, um, 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.480 you know, like a lion, I mean any animal, right, 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:27.840 Like you take a lion, a proud lion in the jungle, 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.520 and um, it's a rough life for them. I mean 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.080 they're the king of the jungle, but they gotta fight 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.760 other lions. They may go weeks without eating if ever, right, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:38.280 I mean it's a tough life for them. Um, but 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.399 they're free. But you could put them in a cage 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:43.840 and you could give them their antibiotics and you can 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.480 give them their one meal a day and they'll be safe. 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.280 But they live in a cage and want they but 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.320 they live in a cage. Right. The problem is is 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.840 once a lion lives in a cage, you can't put 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.000 them back into the wild. And so that's kind of 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:00.679 where we're at. We have like all these people, not 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.000 that they are all lions, but I mean they can't 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:08.800 just live back in the wild anymore. But, um, something 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.000 is super interesting that you'd be I'm gonna do a 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:12.320 video on it. So you can wait to do the 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.679 video on it. But there's a book called The Fourth Turning. 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:18.479 Have you ever heard of that? No, So everything in 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.080 life has like cycles. So like this, we have like summer, winter, 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.920 springfall kind of thing. Um, And so markets are meant 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:26.560 to go up and down, seasons go up and down, 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.080 things change, right. Um, what the government wants is no 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.080 bad things to happen, so we have to make everything flat. 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.920 But like, you don't know joy without pain, right, you 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.639
