Speaker 4: we could say about him, but we're just going to

54
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: dive into this conversation. Daniel, the water is warm and

55
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: the tide is rising. Welcome to Cultivating her Space podcast.

56
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: Oh you snagged my tagline and you pronounced my name

57
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: correctly in the first couple of minutes.

58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: A plus we'd be doing our research there.

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're here.

60
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: Live my whole life with poor pronunciation and poor recall. Oh,

61
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: so thank you really means a lot.

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 6: All right, Daniel, we are going to get started with

63
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 6: a quote of the day, and it should sound really

64
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 6: familiar because these are your words.

65
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 5: We've been stalking your Instagram, So.

66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 6: Our quote of the day take advantage of the changing

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 6: guard to even the playing field and collect your coins.

68
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 6: This is most likely the biggest opportunity of our lifetime

69
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 6: for you to start from absolute zero and create generational

70
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 6: wealth through sheare self education and timing.

71
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: That's true.

72
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 6: I you know, Daniel, when I was doing my stalking

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 6: of your social media and learning more about you and

74
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 6: trying to find that perfect quote, when I came across this,

75
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 6: and this is part of a bigger statement that you made.

76
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 5: But when I came across.

77
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 6: This quote, I felt that this was perfect for our

78
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 6: conversation today, and so I want to check in with

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 6: you when you put this quote out there. What was

80
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 6: your intention? What was your hope for those who were

81
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 6: seeing it?

82
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: Great question, great quote to pull. I think it's quite

83
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: encompassing of my general philosophy towards this. Simply, we're rebuilding

84
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: the stock market. You know. One of the illustrations that

85
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: I use as an example is the story of Amazon.

86
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: And I'm not going to go into the fact that

87
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: I really kind of abhorr Jeff Bezos. I think he's

88
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: a horrible person. But that's just a separate conversation. There's

89
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: a real life lex luthor. It's Jeff Bezos, but that's

90
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: a different conversation when you look at just the stock

91
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: of Amazon. You know, when they IPO, which is initial

92
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: public offering, and they offer themselves to the stock market

93
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: in ninety seven, their ablue at eighteen dollars a share.

94
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: Their stock split three times in the past twenty five years,

95
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: which means that they created more shares, and since then

96
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: their stock price is now worth thirty five hundred dollars.

97
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: So that eighteen hundred dollars if you had invested one thousand,

98
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: or that eighteen dollars per share if you'd invested one

99
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: thousand dollars in Amazon in ninety seven. When the iPod

100
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: you're worth one point two million. Today, we're doing nothing.

101
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 3: We're doing nothing. And those numbers can boggle the mind,

102
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: you know. I remember in high school when my my

103
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: high school math teacher tried to explain to his compound

104
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: interest and how it was one of the most magical things,

105
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: you know, known to me. And you look at what's

106
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: happening now in the market of cryptocurrency, you know, under

107
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 3: the umbrella of Web three, which is where the Internet

108
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: is moving. It's the evolution of the Internet. And we

109
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: see now that they're reinventing the stock market. The stock

110
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: market is basically just a collection of companies that you

111
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: can invest your money into and as long as they

112
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: do better, you do better.

113
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Well.

114
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: With cryptocurrency, now we have new technologies, but these technologies

115
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: are essentially they're companies rebranded. You know, even bitcoin, although

116
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: it doesn't have a CEO, is a company of sorts

117
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: because you can invest in it and get a return

118
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 3: based on how well these currencies do. And they're making

119
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: many of these and because money is changing, because the

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: dollar is devaluing, because other currencies are eventually going to

121
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: take us place with something we can talk about, because

122
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: of all the tectonic plates of the world that are

123
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: shifting and moving, we have the opportunity now to invest

124
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 3: in this technology that isn't just going to be a

125
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 3: choice for us, but it's going to be an actuality.

126
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: And if we know the technology is going this way,

127
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: it's incumbent upon us to actually to not sit on

128
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: the sidelines and just act as mere consumers of whatever

129
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: were fed in the future by Mark Zuckerberg and all

130
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: his friends. We have to look at this and say, listen,

131
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: First of all, we're still early. You know, if you

132
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: look at just the I know I'm just diving right

133
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: into this, but if you look at the adoption curve

134
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: of cryptocurrency, and we can back it up if you

135
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: want more explanation on this, But if you look at

136
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: the adoption curve, we know that just based on a

137
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: number of crypto wallets that exist in the world, you

138
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: can do a brief scan on this on different services

139
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: that there are as many crypto users now as there

140
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: were Internet users in nineteen ninety seven, but we're growing

141
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: at double the rate the Internet used. This rate was

142
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: growing at sixty three percent per year from nineteen ninety

143
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: seven on and it's going at one hundred and thirteen

144
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: percent per year now. So Web three, which is the

145
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: Internet of money, is growing at double the speed that

146
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: the first Internet did. So all that to say that, honestly,

147
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: I think should be going faster, and it certainly will

148
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: as things progress. But all that to say that as

149
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: technology changes, we have to take an active role and

150
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: be in a driver's seat. One of the things that's

151
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: important to do now is rather than just be a consumer,

152
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: be a creator. To be a creator means to actively

153
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: take part in the industry and to actively take part

154
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: in the industry. You have to educate yourself. There are

155
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: no gurus in this industry, and knowing that you have

156
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: to be reading up on what's happening in the news.

157
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: You have to be learning about the different things that

158
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: are going on in the technology so that you can

159
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: invest in things, build things, learn new skills. Hey, maybe

160
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: you can become a programmer, develop an awareness of this

161
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 3: technology so that when ten to twenty years rolls along

162
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 3: and the amazons of Web three are a parent, you've

163
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: benefited from that inevitable surge, rather than saying I wish

164
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: I would.

165
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: Have that is so powerful in that deep birth, that's

166
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: so powerful. Okay, Daniel, you dove in already, but can

167
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 4: you just talk a little bit about your origin story

168
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: for folks that are like, well, who is this guy?

169
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: Dan?

170
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: To some folks I'm sure are familiar with you, but

171
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: you often say there are no gurus, right, You're just

172
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: an interested consumer. What is your backstory before we kind

173
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 4: of lay the foundation for some of these terms and

174
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: die it deeper.

175
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 3: So I'll give you my backstory in the context of

176
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 3: the internet, because we're talking about the evolution of the internet.

177
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: So let's just talk about why we're saying Web three

178
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: and what that is because I think, even like if

179
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: I was talking to my mom or my family members

180
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: who are not I tend to feel like sometimes all

181
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: this stuff is obvious because I live in a bubble,

182
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: exist in a bubble. But we want to be inclusive

183
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: in the bubble and define some of these things so

184
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: people can like jump in and take their teeth into it.

185
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 3: So what's the difference between Web one, two and three?

186
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: And how am I related to that Web one beginning

187
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: of the Internet. I'll play it sounds familiar for you.

188
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: You know, we all remember that there was a time

189
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: where you couldn't be on the phone. Remember that you

190
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: missed that and not don't miss it? Well kind of though,

191
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: because if that was the speed of the Internet, that

192
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: the speed of life was slower. We're always connected. You know,

193
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: this is a gift. In curse the cell phone I'm holding,

194
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: it's more of a gift. But that being said, Web one,

195
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: when when AOL American Online used to send you discs

196
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: in the mail for your updates, remember that they just

197
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: to send you disc in the mail. Now now, guys,

198
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: I will note here do you know that there are

199
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: still like over forty million people in the US are

200
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: still on dial up and they're all in the middle

201
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: of the country. You know, really, well, there are still

202
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: people buying Red Box. Okay, that's a box DVD.

203
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 5: They do, yes, so what right?

204
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: Exactly? Well, you know, some people never actually change mediums.

205
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: You know, some people are still stuck on CD. Some

206
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: people are still playing tapes seriously, but that's beside the point.

207
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: Web one came along and Chris Dixon, who's one of

208
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: the venture capitalists at Andres and Horror, which was a

209
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: big venture capitalist firm, had a great description of it.

210
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 3: He said that web one was read only. So it's

211
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: like you have your restaurants, and your restaurants put a

212
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: menu online read only. And I remember my grandfather used

213
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 3: to say, well, why do I need the Internet. I

214
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: have the news pay paper and I was like, well,

215
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: it's different than the newspaper. You can you know, there's

216
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: more interaction with it, and they can update things instantly

217
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 3: and it's very very fast, if a way from the

218
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: newspaper to print. And he's like, I don't need that,

219
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: And so you had to, like, first you had to

220
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: convince people why we would need something that was digital

221
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: rather than analog and eventually people started to see that

222
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: digital there were real benefits to it, and then it

223
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: started to become monetized, you know. And this is Web

224
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 3: one point oh the mid nineties through the early two thousands.

225
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: Then the early two thousands came along, and what happened.

226
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: We had the evolution of Web two point zero. And

227
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: that's really when the Internet met mobile technology, you know,

228
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: And that's when I mean the first the first iPhone

229
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: came out in what I think two thousand and seven,

230
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, somewhere around there. And really then

231
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: Internet speeds started to pick up. And when mobile technology

232
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: met with Internet technology, when the mobile phone met with

233
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: the Internet, we had the birth of social media. Really

234
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: when that's hard to explode. I mean, Facebook came out

235
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: in two thousand and five, but really it's hard to take

236
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: off in when the became something that was ubiquitous to us,

237
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: and so that really kicked off Web two point zero.

238
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 3: And truth be told, we're still at the tail end

239
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 3: of Web two point oh. We're Web two point eight

240
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: right now, something like that. And so Web two, whereas

241
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: Web one is read only, Web two is read and write,

242
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: so you can read and you can also interact with

243
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 3: the web. And that's when Twitter came along Facebook and

244
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: we could actually edit our online experience more easily. We

245
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: had profiles and walls to write on and things to do.

246
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: It wasn't just looking at movie times. It was like

247
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 3: responding to your friends, and you know, there was more

248
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: of a community feeling. Now Web three is what they

249
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: say is read write own. So up until this point,

250
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: most of the interaction that we do on the internet,

251
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: we are the product. And what I tell people is

252
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: if you're not paying for it, you are the product.

253
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: So Google, Facebook, you know, Amazon, you're paying for but

254
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: the service itself is free. All these things that we're

255
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: accessing and felt like such a I mean, I remember

256
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 3: when when all these products came into being Gmail and

257
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: and you know and Facebook. I thought, how can they

258
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: do this for free? Like it seems impossible. I don't

259
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: have to pay for this. And as we've come to

260
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: learn now later, you are the product that's being fed

261
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: into the machine. Web three is going to give us

262
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 3: a lot of ownership back, not only over our data,

263
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 3: but the ability to actually benefit from the things that

264
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: we are using online. Without going off on too much

265
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: of a tangent, there is there are many ecosystems now,

266
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: which are based on Web three, where when you pay

267
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: the ad when you watch the ads, you actually get

268
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: paid to watch them, rather than your data being fed

269
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: and you getting nothing from it. You know, which, think

270
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: about how many millions of hours of advertisements you've watched

271
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: without your consent, really, and that data was monetized. Well. Now,

272
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 3: on browsers like the Brave browser, you can watch ads

273
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: by choice and get paid in a token, and that

274
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: token can be exchanged for real money. So anyway, that's

275
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: Web one, two and three. I came in to the

276
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: Internet in Web one as a kid in elementary school.

277
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: The millennials I'm thirty three now. The millennials are the

278
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 3: last generation to understand the true difference between analog and digital.

279
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: You know, I existed during computers, but not during Internet.

280
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 3: The Internet was here. I started to play around with it,

281
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: and over my career as a student, I got more

282
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: comfortable with it, and around two thousand and eight I

283
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: started to blog and I got really, really fascinated with

284
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: the idea of sharing ideas online and writing online. And

285
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: between two thousand and eight and two thousand and fifteen,

286
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: I slowly grew my audience, but without thinking I'm going

287
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: to go in audience. I was truly just writing to write,

288
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: and many of the things I was doing at that

289
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: time were based in just understanding how I could how

290
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: I could basically take advantage of the trend that was

291
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: already going upwards. And so one of the things that

292
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 3: I really got good at was freelancing. Freelancing online and

293
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: during this transition of about you know, five to ten years,

294
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: there were various sites like one is called upwork. Back

295
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: in the day, it was called elans in these different

296
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: sites where you could list your services and people would

297
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: pay you to perform little jobs. And I thought, well,

298
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: this is interesting, and I got to the point where

299
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: I figured out how to kind of game the system.

300
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: I thought, you know, if I could, if I could

301
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: look for what jobs are in demand, I could figure

302
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: out a price point where I could sell that service

303
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: and then pay someone else to also do that work,

304
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: and I could project manage. So I started to project

305
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: manage design jobs, development jobs, and I learned about development,

306
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: I learned about web design, I learned about coding, I

307
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: learned about some basic basic Internet skills, and then I

308
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: started to write about my experiences monetizing skill sets online

309
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: and as I started to monetize those skill sets, what

310
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: was very fascinating was that people were interested in my

311
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: process around it, and so it became actually more profitable

312
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: for me to teach the stuff than for me to

313
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 3: do the stuff. So I graduated from performing the services

314
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: to teaching at a bigger level. And then I started

315
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: to build audiences. I started to do online courses, and

316
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: then I use that platform and then start other businesses.

317
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: Because there's then, especially in the twenty tens, there started

318
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: to be another level of society which created some sort

319
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: of like social capital around Internet identity. You know, influencer

320
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: became a thing. This wasn't a thing when we started off.

321
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: It wasn't a thing. So I unwittingly gained this level

322
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: of authority, I guess, and then and then allowed me

323
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: to go into a more legitimate business situations and say, oh,

324
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: look what I've done here. Don't you trust me? And

325
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: then I started to you know, I built a couple

326
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: of other companies. I sold one to La Weekly. I

327
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: did this an e commerce. So I started to just

328
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: gradually claw myself up. But it was all just started

329
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: from blogging. So I went through Web one and two

330
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: and now I'm looking at Web three and saying, Okay,

331
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: this is where we're going. How do I attach myself

332
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: to where the tie is already flowing and that's the

333
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 3: new wave?

334
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 5: Yes, take a breath, Take a breath. Yes, Yes, you

335
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 5: were on a roll. That was beautiful.

336
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 6: That was is a lot of information and a very

337
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 6: very interesting story that I think a lot of folks

338
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 6: can relate to in terms of how their life has

339
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 6: shifted because of the shifts in technology.

340
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 5: Right.

341
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 6: But what I want to talk about is Web three

342
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 6: point zero and banking and how Web three point zero

343
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 6: is going to reshape our banking system. So I want

344
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 6: to get your insight and your thoughts on that, because

345
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 6: you've already demonstrated that you are in it and you

346
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 6: know how to ride the waves, and so tell us

347
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 6: what you looking for. You've demonstrated that already, just by

348
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 6: as you told us in your origin story. You have

349
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 6: greatly demonstrated that you know how to.

350
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 3: Looking backwards though, and you're in it, You're like, what

351
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: the fuck am I doing? Wells, that's looking backwards.

352
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 4: That's a very good point.

353
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate that perspective.

354
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: Yes, Steve Jobs said that, though, you know, he said

355
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: it's always easy to connect the do's.

356
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 5: Looking backwards, It's true Hindsight twenty twenty.

357
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I mean I'll just ask you a simple question.

358
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 3: Put you, guys, bank with.

359
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 4: Who do we have First Republic as one? Yeah? Our business,

360
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: our business, and I have like a credit union? Yeah,

361
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 4: old school credit union.

362
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: Credit unions are not bad. Do you trust your banks?

363
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, technically I have to because that's

364
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 6: where my money is. But I mean, if I really

365
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 6: want to go old school like our grandparents and keep

366
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 6: money at keep our money at the house and under

367
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 6: the mattress and in boxes in the closet, like yeah,

368
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 6: because they didn't trust the banking system technically, I feel

369
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 6: like that's what I should be doing.

370
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: What I don't?

371
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 4: You told a story online about a really shitty experience

372
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 4: you had with your bank. Can you share that with everyone?

373
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: That's pretty devastating.

374
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: So okay, so I'll share a couple of perspectives. First

375
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: of all, let's just briefly touch on the Federal Reserve

376
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: and central banking about what's actually happening there. You know

377
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: that the bank doesn't have your money in there, right,

378
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: You know that the way that they create more money

379
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: with the central banking system is that they basically take

380
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 3: your money and they loan it out to other people.

381
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: And with the way that the Federal Reserve is set up,

382
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 3: for every one dollar that they take in, they can

383
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: loan out ten dollars that they create from thin air.

384
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: They're just making these rules up. By the way, this

385
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: isn't there's no real physics to it. So they loan

386
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: out ten dollars for everyone dollar that they take in,

387
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: and then they wonder why everything is completely overinflated. Because

388
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 3: if we look at in two thousand and eight when

389
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 3: this crash was happening, and basically what happened was these

390
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: banks we were going belly up because people who couldn't

391
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: afford their mortgage because we're not going to subprime means

392
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: that there were different They were loaning mortgages to people

393
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 3: who tchnically shouldn't have gotten the mortgages. They couldn't really

394
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: afford the houses the people, and then they did this

395
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 3: all over the place. Those are subprime people couldn't afford

396
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 3: to put pay back their mortgages, and so then the

397
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: banks had all this money loaned out that wasn't coming

398
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: back in. So they had all this money on the

399
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 3: books that were they were technically supposed to be getting

400
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: but in reality they weren't getting that money back in.

401
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: So there's a crisis. Now, what happened when that crisis

402
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: went down? Did the government say to the people people,

403
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: I see you were all having trouble paying your mortgage.

404
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 3: We're going to send that payment for you. No, they

405
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 3: didn't bail out the people. They built out the banks.

406
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 3: I want you to think about that. And that was

407
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: Obama too, Okay, So they didn't bail out the people,

408
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: they bailed out the banks. So we have to first

409
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: understand that there really is no security in our money

410
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: being held by organizations that aren't actually they don't actually

411
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 3: physically have it. As soon as it's loaned as soon

412
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 3: as it's given to them. As soon as you deposit,

413
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: they're loaninged it out, so it's not there. Two, if

414
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: you were to go get your money and everyone went

415
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: to get their money at the same time, there wouldn't

416
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: be enough money to actually withdraw it. Now, if a

417
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: private person does this, it's called a Ponzi scheme. When

418
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: the government does it, it's called federal reserve banking. You know,

419
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: think about it. When a Bernie made off who is

420
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: a famous Ponzi schemer for twenty years, creates fake investments

421
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: and creates money on reports that he doesn't actually have,

422
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 3: and then people try to cash in and he can't

423
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: pay out. That's a Ponzi scheme, and he goes to jail.

424
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 3: He died in jail, okay. But when the government does

425
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 3: it it's okay. So again, double standard, quite the double standard.

426
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 3: So that's the second thing. They don't actually have your money.

427
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: They couldn't actually support it if everyone needs to get

428
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: their money and it's not even in the bank. The

429
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: third thing is the interest rates that you're getting on

430
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 3: your money is basically zero, and inflation is much higher

431
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: than the interest rate. Okay, So please guys understand this.

432
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 3: I want you to please get this into your mind,

433
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: because no one really I think it's very hard to

434
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: wrap your mind around this. First of all, putting it

435
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 3: in the match under the match is just about as

436
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: good a keeping it in the bank in terms of

437
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: what the money, the value of the money is worth.

438
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: The average savings account is getting point one five percent

439
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: interest rate, okay. Inflation the FED is reporting that inflation

440
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: is six percent, but we think it's actually much higher

441
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 3: than that, So you're actually losing five point eight percent

442
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: of your dollar every year if it's just sitting there. Okay,

443
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: And on the whole, we're going to get back to

444
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: why defy and why on the whole the dollar feels

445
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 3: safe because generally speaking, day to day, your loaf of

446
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 3: bread costs the same today as it does tomorrow, four dollars,

447
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: five dollars, And it doesn't really seem that unstable. But

448
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: if you look at the scope of history, the scope

449
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: of time since nineteen seventy one, do you know what

450
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: happened in nineteen seventy one?

451
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 6: No, I feel like I should go but go ahead

452
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 6: and tell us.

453
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 3: Nixon took us off the gold standard. Okay. The gold

454
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: standard means that a dollar was pegged to a certain

455
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: amount of gold. Now that's necessarily limiting because gold scarce.

456
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 3: We had gold in our reserve, and every dollar was

457
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: redeemable for a certain amount of gold. Now, as a

458
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm like I'm going so I'm like going down rabbit hope,

459
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: but I will come back. As a brief historical side,

460
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: the reason why America has been so powerful for the

461
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: past fifty sixty seventy years is because during World War two.

462
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: Really starting in World War One, but especially after World

463
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: War Two, Europe was getting destroyed. That whole area got

464
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: fucked up. Okay, whether you were in ally forces or

465
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: whether you were the opposition, the ops got messed up

466
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 3: over there. Japan got destroyed, Germany, UK, France, the whole

467
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 3: area got mashed up. America was pretty much completely undisturbed

468
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 3: except for why rip Pearl Harbor. Thank you. We know

469
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: it was a tragedy, yes, but we were pretty much undisturbed.

470
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: And during that time Europe sent almost all of its

471
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: gold over to the American vaults so that we could

472
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 3: protect it during that time, and because we were holding

473
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: on to all the world's gold. At the end of

474
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: the war, there was a new world order. We were

475
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: the wealthiest country. We were by far the stableist country

476
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: because we hadn't been destroyed by the war. So what

477
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: that meant was that we became the global reserve currency,

478
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: which means that everything that was transacted in the world

479
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: was pegged to the dollar. Loans were created in dollars,

480
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: global trade was nominated in dollars. Before that, it used

481
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: to be the British pound, used to be pound sterling,

482
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: so everything used to be done in pounds. Before that,

483
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: it was the Dutch kroner. Okay, So the dollar became

484
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: the federal reserve or the global reserve currency. Everyone wanted dollars.

485
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 3: Now the upside in dollars, or the upside in being

486
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 3: the country with the global reserve currency, my friends, is

487
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: that you can print money as much as you want.

488
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: You have the global money printing machine, and everyone wants

489
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: which you've got, okay, and we went nuts. There was

490
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 3: a slight recession after World War Two when soldiers were

491
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 3: coming home and looking to get jobs, but then about

492
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty we took off. This is when my grandfather

493
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: was coming home from World War Two. He was able

494
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: to get a job as an attorney, when you could

495
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: get a middle class job and be set. He had

496
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 3: a family with six kids. And that whole period from

497
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty through nineteen seventy was the golden age of

498
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 3: American politics and society. And even though there was still

499
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: racial inequality and other types of inequality, on the general speaking,

500
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: the quality of life in America was the best in

501
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 3: the world. And as with now, this is the downside

502
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 3: having the global reserve currency. When you have the global

503
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 3: reserve currency, inevitably, and it's been shown time after time

504
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: after time. You get greedy and you overreach because we

505
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 3: printed trillions and trillions of dollars. We had a blank check.

506
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 3: I mean, if you had a money printer, why didn't

507
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 3: she kind of do the same thing money. You literally

508
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: have a money printer for the whole world, and everyone

509
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: wants your dollar. So we went crazy, we overprinted, and

510
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 3: by seventy one, Nixon was like, well, we can't keep

511
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: pegging this to gold because we don't actually have enough

512
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 3: gold in our reserves to back up how much money

513
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 3: were print So we're going to have to disconnect gold

514
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: from money, right because we don't actually have enough gold

515
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: to back this up anymore. So basically he made money

516
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: not no longer redeemable for gold, and when that happens,

517
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 3: you can print even more money. It's literally taking this

518
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: ceiling off of how much can be printed. And every

519
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 3: single year since then, we've been printing, printing, printing, printing, printing,

520
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 3: and the value of the dollar has gone down, meaning

521
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: that what one dollar purchased in nineteen seventy one, so

522
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: what costs a dollar ninety seventy one now costs six

523
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: dollars and thirty eight cents. So that's why you know,

524
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: your grandma is always like when I was a kid,

525
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: this was fifty cents, you know, because that's actually happening,

526
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: but on the day to day you don't see it

527
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 3: because it's a very slow creep. Now that is the

528
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: context for where the American dollar is and your money

529
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: in the bank is invested in this system that's completely

530
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: incumbent and tied to the American dollar, not to mention

531
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 3: the fact that it's supposed to be FDIC insured from

532
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: up to two hundred thousand dollars or something like that.

533
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: But let's face it, guys, the government can't even pay

534
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: its own bills. I'm not very confident it can pay

535
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: your bills. If you look at the global debt, we're

536
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: twenty eight trillion dollars in debt and we only make

537
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 3: twenty two trillion dollars, So do the math. We're actually underwater.

538
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: I think it's so funny that the government wants us

539
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: to be like financially responsible and they're ridiculously in debt,

540
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: and they say, well, we're going to default on the

541
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: debt scene or we're gonna we're going to default on

542
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 3: our debt let's we raise the debt ceiling, which means

543
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: they're just going to create more debt for us. Do

544
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 3: you know I'm still coming back to to YDFI. I'm

545
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 3: still coming back to it. Do you know that in

546
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 3: the past two years America has printed forty percent of

547
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 3: the total dollars it's ever printed in the history of

548
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 3: the United States thirty twenty twenty and ten percent this year.

549
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 3: If you overfill a pool by forty percent, is it

550
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 3: going to flood? Yeah, it's gonna flood. You're not going

551
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 3: to see the effect that all at once, but over

552
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: the next ten twenty years it's absolutely going to play out.

553
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: So why crypto? Why web three? Why DeFi? How does

554
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: it connect? Through web three? We're creating alternate systems of currency?

555
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: Of course, we know that currency is just something that is.

556
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: It's a store of value that's agreed upon by all

557
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 3: parties involved. Just like I could trade you know, a rock,

558
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: or I could trade a valuable Babe Ruth Rookie card,

559
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: or I could trade you know, a piece of paper

560
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 3: that represents a piece of gold. All of these are

561
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: based on our perception in our agreement as a community

562
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: that these have value, and what really creates value is scarcity.

563
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: So there really is no scarcity in the dollar because

564
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: we just print it every time we need more. But

565
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: there are scarcy or there is scarcity in things like prinstance. Bitcoin.

566
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: So bitcoin is the digital equivalent of gold, and you

567
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 3: might have heard that before. Why is it the digital

568
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: equivalent of gold. Well, it's because there's a finite amount

569
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 3: of bitcoin available in the world. And this is very

570
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: important to know because scarcity and a finite number creates

571
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: natural demand. It creates natural demand for an ascent. So

572
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: there are a total of twenty one million bitcoin total

573
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 3: that will ever be created because the algorithm only allows

574
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: for a certain number of bitcoin to be created. There's

575
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: a mysterious creator of bitcoin who we still haven't identified.

576
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 3: His or her name is to Toshi Nakamoto. We don't

577
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: know if it was one person or if it was

578
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: a group. Similar to William Shakespeare. We are not sure

579
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: if William Shakespeare was even the person that he was

580
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 3: purported to be. Could have been multiple people, even Lao Zuo,

581
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: who wrote the data ching, We're not sure if it

582
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 3: was really one person or many. To Toshi Nakamoto is

583
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: also kind of, you know, an enigma. But this person

584
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: is to Toshi who created this concept to bitcoin, which

585
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 3: is a digital store of value. In two thousand and eight,

586
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 3: release this white paper. He sent it to one thousand people,

587
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 3: and he created this network where digital money and value

588
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 3: can be exchanged. And the way it's exchanged is through

589
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: a network of computers. Okay, And basically the computers solve

590
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 3: complex algorithms on something called a blockchain. Okay. A blockchain

591
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: is just another word for a network. Each piece of

592
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: that network is called a block. Every time a block

593
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 3: is mined okay, similar to how gold is mined, a

594
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 3: certain number of bitcoin is released. Every time bitcoin is released,

595
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 3: the computers who are working on that block get a

596
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: fraction of that bitcoin and it's released into the network

597
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: like a slow drip. There are only twenty one million

598
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: bitcoin available in the world right now total that will

599
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: be ever mined in nineteen million of those are in circulation.

600
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 3: Every four years, the number of bitcoin that's released is

601
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: more is turned down more and more slowly. So right now,

602
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: every time a network of computs, and it takes many

603
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: many computers connected together in a computing farm to mind

604
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 3: these bitcoins is very complex algorithms. It takes a lot

605
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: of computing power. Every time one of these blocks is mined,

606
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: six point three bitcoin are released into the network. Every

607
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: four years that number is halved. So in twenty twenty four,

608
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 3: when the next having comes along, every time a block

609
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: is mined, only three or so bitcoin will be released

610
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: into the network. And so in that way, the supply

611
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 3: is being constrained, not only in time where it's being

612
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: stretched out. I think of it in comparison to the dollar,

613
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: where there's no limit to how much can be created

614
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: at any time. So not only is it dripped out slowly,

615
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 3: but there's also a cap the way that the blockchain

616
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 3: is set up, no more can be created. Now because

617
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 3: of these various factors and other things that create a

618
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 3: really secure network where it can't be hacked, it can't

619
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: be changed. This is what creates the possibility of digital value.

620
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 3: There's something called a ledger, and the blockchain is essentially

621
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: a ledger, which is a receipt of all the transactions

622
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: of this and that ledger is basically public. You can

623
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: look on it and see exactly which wallet addresses and

624
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 3: for instance, I have a wallet right here. This is

625
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 3: called a ledger. Okay, this is a little USB flash

626
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: drive and this has an idea attached to it, a

627
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 3: wallet idea attached to it. And if I were to

628
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 3: move my bitcoin from like an online exchange, which is

629
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: similar to like an online stock market, to this ledger,

630
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: it would be sent into a certain wallet that's attached

631
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 3: to only this device, And you can look at that

632
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: on the ledger and say, okay, x amount of bitcoin

633
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 3: was sent from this exchange to that wallet. And because

634
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: that ledger cannot be changed, cannot be altered, it's basically trustless,

635
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: meaning that you don't need a third party to verify

636
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: and validate that that money has been sent. Now, what

637
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: this means is that there's no need for a bank

638
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: to be the intermediary in these transactions. You don't need

639
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: them to approve it, you don't need them to hold it.

640
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: A lot of times. The reason why money takes so

641
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: long to get to your account, I don't know if

642
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: you've ever tried to either wait for your paycheck and

643
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: the ah takes five days. We try to send money

644
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: to your friends or family, the transfer takes forever. You

645
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: try to move money and they charge you these random fees,

646
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: or they just hold on to it. They're doing they're

647
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: holding your money because they're required, they're recruiting interest just

648
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: by holding it. They're charging you because they can do that.

649
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: You know, things like overdraft fees, all these things that

650
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 3: the bank does. They make trillions just by moving money,

651
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: making it weird, slowing it down, fucking it up, taking

652
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 3: little pieces out. And that's the intermediary effect. And this

653
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: is a trustless system where you don't need to depend

654
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 3: on someone else to move your money around. Now, this

655
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: is just the piece of why it's so important, but

656
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: this helps you to understand that one not only are

657
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: cryptocurrencies potentially more stable than fiat currencies, especially when we

658
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 3: talk about bitcoin. There's a lot of cryptos out there,

659
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: but we're just talking about bitcoin for now. Because it's finite,

660
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: it's more stable in a lot of ways. But although

661
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: it's volatile, meaning on a day to day basis you

662
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: might see a big fluctuation, my opinion is that on

663
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: a long term basis, when you look at a long

664
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: term timescal it's not nearly as risky as the dollar

665
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: or as other vat currencies because the value isn't going

666
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 3: down because we're printing more of it, so it's less

667
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 3: risky long term. It's more secure, it's less susceptible to

668
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 3: intermediaries taking little pieces of your money, holding your money.

669
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I've been levied by the irs before. They

670
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 3: can just go into your bank account, just take money.

671
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 3: They can like open your fridge like they're grabbing a

672
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 3: beer and take money. That should be illegal. They shouldn't

673
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 3: be allowed to do that. You know. That's the reason

674
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 3: why the freaking revolutionaries throw off all the tea in

675
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: Boston Harbor Boston Tea Party. They said, no taxation without representation.

676
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 3: Do you feel represented? I don't. So these things are happening,

677
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 3: and cryptocurrencies, which are under the umbrella of Web three,

678
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: just part of this whole movement. Cryptocurrencies, which are part

679
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 3: of the technological innovation of blockchain. Cryptocurrency is the tool

680
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: that's going to allow us to extract ourselves from this system.

681
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 3: And it doesn't mean that all banks are going to

682
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 3: go way, and in fact banks will try to keep

683
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 3: up with this. But it's just the first nail on

684
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 3: the coffee.

685
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 4: So well, let me just say this. This is not

686
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 4: my first time hearing this, Daniel, because I've been tuning

687
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 4: into your podcast. I've been watching YouTube videos, looking at

688
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 4: visuals because I'm a visual person, so it's a lot

689
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 4: to wrap your mind around. So lady, if you're listening

690
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: to this episode, your probably and you've never heard of

691
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 4: any of this, it's probably a little overwhelming. So Daniel,

692
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: we're just going to go to one of the listener

693
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 4: questions that they shared on Instagram and says, what is

694
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 4: the best education tool to learn about investing in trading

695
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 4: in the crypto space? Because I know that there's just

696
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 4: so much, right, there's just so much to learn.

697
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think the best thing you can

698
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 3: do is just start youtubing. Honestly, don't don't overcomplicated, you know,

699
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 3: just start youtubing the basics. Just start youtubing what is cryptocurrency,

700
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 3: what is blockchain? And what I What I recommend is

701
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 3: finding someone who has a style of teaching that's relatable

702
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: to your type of understanding, your type of visual, your

703
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 3: type of auditory, your type of your type of intuition.

704
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: Because this information is very publicly available. But I think

705
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 3: it's intimidating and you want to find hopefully this is

706
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 3: an intimidating conversation, but you want to find the areas

707
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: and the people that connect with you. And if you

708
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 3: want to start with with a certain key term. Just

709
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: start to learn about what bitcoin is, because bitcoin is

710
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 3: kind of like the gateway drug, you know, It's like

711
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 3: it's it's the marijuana of cryptocurrency. It's like, in fact,

712
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 3: it's kind of like it's almost like the brand name

713
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 3: for cryptocurrency, because people like clean axes branding for tissue

714
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 3: band aids, brand in banded band aid is a branding

715
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: for advantage. Most people interchange the idea of bitcoin with crypto,

716
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 3: and of course they're they're different. But just understanding about

717
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: bitcoin and understanding the history behind that will give you

718
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 3: some more context.

719
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 5: Thank you for that.

720
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 6: Now, I have lots of questions because you're right, there

721
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 6: is so much information out there. But I want to

722
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 6: know if when we think about this future and we

723
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 6: think about the history, right, and we think about the

724
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 6: future of where cryptocurrency is going, and the idea that

725
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 6: the majority of us, if we're really being honest and

726
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 6: we really think about this, in the next twenty five

727
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 6: to fifty years, the majority of us will be using

728
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 6: cryptocurrency and not relying on banks, right. And so this

729
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 6: sounds like there's a lot of personal responsibility in terms

730
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 6: of educating ourselves and creating our own wealth. When we

731
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 6: think of the term personal sovereignty, what does that mean.

732
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: First of all, I wanted to start by saying I

733
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 3: don't think that everyone is going to get on the

734
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: sovereign train. I think that many of us want to

735
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 3: be told what to do because it takes a lot

736
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: of the stress off of thinking about what we should

737
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: be doing with our life and our times. Just like

738
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 3: in a way, it's comforting to have someone run the

739
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 3: more complicated details of our lives for us. Think about,

740
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 3: you know, just the idea of going to a job

741
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 3: versus running a business. Yes, there's more freedom and running

742
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 3: a business, but it's so stressful to try to make

743
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 3: your own way and to create your own direction, and

744
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: there's so much unknown. Sometimes, even as a business owner,

745
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: I think I wish someone would just tell me what

746
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 3: to do, that I just clock out at some point.

747
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,479
Speaker 3: It would be so nice, and of course I would

748
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 3: lose all the benefits of the other things I get

749
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 3: within Ultimately it's not worth the trade off. But there's

750
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: there's a lot of truth to the fact that not

751
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: everyone wants to be totally sovereign, And just speaking about

752
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: money in general, how it can to personal sovereignty. You know,

753
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example even just looking at this

754
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: hardware wallet. So this is a wallet that's completely decentralized.

755
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: So what that means is that you can buy cryptocurrency

756
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: on an exchange like Coinbase. So Coinbase is similar to

757
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: like if you ever heard of a there's a there's

758
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: an app called robin Hood, and robin Hood is a

759
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 3: stock trading apple. You can go on there and it's

760
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: very simple. It's like it's like stock trading for beginners,

761
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: and you can say Apple ten dollars and you press

762
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 3: send and it buys you ten dollars or the Apple stock.

763
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: It's very easy. Well, Coinbase is the same thing, but

764
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 3: for cryptos. Now, when you keep your crypto on Coinbase,

765
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: Coinbase is centralized. It's a publicly traded company and as

766
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: long as the as long as your assets are on

767
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 3: that exchange, you don't actually have control over them. So

768
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 3: if Coinbase were to have an outage, or if there

769
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: were to be like some government intervention where they're cracking

770
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: down on regulations on crypto, which is there are possibilities

771
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 3: of that actually brewing right now, and anything happened to Coinbase,

772
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 3: they could freeze your account, and you wouldn't be able

773
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 3: to get to that, just like Chase at any time

774
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 3: could freeze your account for whatever reason. You know, sometimes

775
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: even if you're going through like a criminal investigation, even

776
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 3: if you're innocent, they'll freeze your bank accounts. I've ever

777
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 3: seen an enemy of the state very centralized. If they

778
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: freeze my bank accounts, they freeze my credit cards because

779
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: those are centralized. And you might not worry about that

780
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 3: right now, because you're going through every day left you say,

781
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 3: I don't have to It'll be fine. It's ever happen before,

782
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: it won't happen. But it's better to be prepared and

783
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 3: not needed than to need it and not have it,

784
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 3: you know. And so those are centralized examples, and this

785
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 3: is decentralized now. The good thing about centralization is that

786
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 3: if you have a problem, you lose your password, you

787
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 3: have a customer service issue, you need to access your

788
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 3: bank from somewhere else you need to. I mean, I

789
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: remember when I was in I was in Portugal, I

790
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 3: lost my credit card and I called Chase and they

791
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: were able to get me another one. It was great.

792
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 3: You know, whatever centralized, that's the beauty of centralization, and

793
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 3: there are a lot of benefits of centralization. A lot

794
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 3: of people aren't ready to give that up because it

795
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 3: makes their life so much easier, just like Google is

796
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 3: a centralized entity, and they really make your life easier

797
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 3: because all the information is feeding to one place. Now,

798
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 3: decentralization takes it totally into your hands. So if I

799
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 3: were to put one hundred thousand dollars of bitcoin on

800
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 3: here and I lose this, that's it, buddy, that's it.

801
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 3: It's gone. Or if I were to God forbid, lose

802
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 3: the password, and I know some people who have had

803
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 3: wallets who've had millions millions in bitcoin who lost their

804
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 3: password or they you know, you only get a certain

805
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: amount of password refreshes on these, so you get like

806
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 3: twenty guesses and if you get it wrong, that's it. It

807
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: wipes it. And they're on number eighteen, you know, because

808
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: they because they got it ten years ago when they

809
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: bought thirty bitcoin, they did no, they didn't really take

810
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 3: it seriously, and now they forgot their password, and that

811
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 3: that would probably be so toxic to me. I would

812
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 3: probably have to just I have to really really question

813
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 3: my life. But that's the but the benefit of decentralization

814
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 3: is that you have complete ownership. No one can hack

815
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 3: onto this because it's not connected to the internet. No

816
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 3: one can hack this, no one can take this, no

817
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 3: one can identify that this is mine. No, it's completely secure, okay,

818
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: and I have to be completely responsible for it. If

819
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 3: you just extrapolate that to your life, there are many

820
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 3: things you don't want to be personally responsible for. You

821
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 3: might not be a respondible to be responsible for creating

822
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 3: all the food that you have in your fridge. Do

823
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 3: you want to make the almond milk? Do you want

824
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 3: to make the cheese? Do you want to filter your water?

825
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 5: No? No, no, no, no.

826
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 3: No, no no. And that's all centralized. And there's a

827
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 3: beauty to centralization. We all talk about, you know, living

828
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 3: off the grid, but how many of us want to

829
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 3: make our own clothes. I'd rather have Levi's do it.

830
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 3: You know. There's a reason so personal sovereignty. I think

831
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: there's a balance of play between how much responsibility do

832
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 3: you want over your life. I personally want to have

833
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 3: some centralization still in my life while controlling the most

834
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 3: vital aspects of it. So for me, that means I

835
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: will still have some money in the bank, and I

836
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 3: will still have some money on like a centralized exchange,

837
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: and I'll have someone here and I'll make the decision

838
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: about where to hold it where it goes. And because

839
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 3: of this technology, because the technology is available, at least

840
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 3: I have the option of making things decentralized if shit

841
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 3: goes down, and that I think is much better than

842
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 3: saying I want everything decentralized. Personal sovereignty really isn't about

843
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 3: doing everything on your own ways, about having the choice.

844
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 3: It's about having the option to do as much of

845
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 3: your daily activities, your transactions, and the things that are

846
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 3: important for your self fulfillment personally. You know. So whether

847
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: that and I think that that also comes down to

848
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 3: personal sovereignty over how you take care of your body.

849
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm big on inter martial arts. I'm

850
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 3: a lifelong martial artists, and for me, personal sovereignty means

851
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 3: I can take care of my body. If something happens,

852
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 3: I don't need to call the police. I mean, obviously

853
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 3: call the police if you call the police, if you

854
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 3: have to call the police, but I'm not depending on

855
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 3: someone else to come and save me. That's why my

856
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 3: wife and I are doing multiple firearms classes and we

857
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 3: got guns in the house because if someone comes over,

858
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 3: we're not mean like call a police and hide. I mean,

859
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 3: the police are great if they can get here, but

860
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 3: we all know that police response times are up higher

861
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 3: than they've been And guys, I live in close to

862
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 3: Portland and it gets wild out here, so I wouldn't

863
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 3: be surprised if it was a thirty minute wait time

864
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 3: and I ain't got the time. So we're going to

865
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 3: be at the range practicing, and she's a dead shot.

866
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 3: Personal sovereignty, you know, and then with personal sovereignty goes

867
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 3: into knowing your rights. So I know we're branching a

868
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 3: bit of enough money here, but it's all inclusive. You know,

869
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 3: if you get stopped by a police officer, do you

870
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 3: know what laws to cite? Can you confidently communicate with

871
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 3: authority without breaking down? If there's a mandate in your city,

872
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: do you know the difference between a mandate and a law?

873
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 3: Do you know what you're actually capable of doing in

874
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 3: any given situation? And so that all includes is including

875
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 3: a personal sovereignty. It's knowing where your boundaries are, asserting

876
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 3: those boundaries, and having control over how you conduct yourself

877
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: financially personally, spiritually, all that stuff that's personal sovereignty so powerful.

878
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for that, Dan. I think this

879
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 4: gives us a lot to think about as individuals and

880
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 4: how we want to live our lives. We'll say, based

881
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 4: on what you shared, I was thinking about my risk

882
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 4: tolerance and I feel like for me, diversification is the

883
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 4: name of the game, like you were saying, having you know,

884
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 4: just you're just diversify you'r the way you're finding It's

885
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 4: very scary, right right.

886
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 3: All the time? You know what, Babb's my flash? Like,

887
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: oh I do that now? You know?

888
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 4: We don't want that, right Another question that I wanted

889
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 4: to ask. We've touched on a lot today, but someone

890
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 4: April on Instagram says, what exactly is the metaverse? How

891
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 4: do you get there? I know it's not a physical location,

892
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 4: but what is it? How do you get there? How

893
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 4: it's Facebook tied into it? And is it here now?

894
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, we're already kind of in the metaverse. I mean,

895
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 3: it's just that it comes in stages. So your social

896
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 3: media avatar is the entryway to the metaverse. Because we

897
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 3: all know that people play different identities online than they

898
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 3: actually have in real life. I mean they're straight up

899
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 3: cat fishing, and there's just people who indulge a little

900
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 3: bit on their personality, you know. But the metaverse is

901
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 3: basically it's another layer of reality on top of the

902
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 3: existing world that we're playing in. So we just go

903
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 3: back to web three as an example, Chris Dixon said,

904
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 3: web three is read write ow. Many of the things

905
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 3: that we are interacting with in a digital capacity now

906
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 3: we don't actually own, you know, for instance, imagine you know,

907
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 3: we don't own that. We don't own the documents that

908
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 3: we interact with that we make online, we don't own

909
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: the things that that we transact with online. But in

910
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 3: the metaverse, we can take our identities from one online

911
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 3: community to the next without having to change close. For instance,

912
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. Right now, you guys have

913
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 3: accounts on Instagram, but if you were to go from

914
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 3: Instagram to Twitter, you don't take your followers with you.

915
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 3: You don't take your account with you, you don't take

916
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 3: all the credibility and the following you've built up. You

917
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 3: have to kind of essentially start over again. Because there's

918
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 3: step platforms. In the metaverse, you take who you are

919
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 3: throughout the entire web. So you get to create a

920
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 3: more universal avatar for what's possible for you. And not

921
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 3: only that, but as we go along collecting different pieces

922
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 3: of digital accouturement, whether it's NFTs and we could talk

923
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 3: about what those are at a different time, whether it's

924
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: owning your cryptocurrency, whether it's you know, interacting online. You

925
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 3: get to basically create a new experience that is entirely digital,

926
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: and that can happen in a couple different ways. One,

927
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 3: the metaverse is the opportunity for you to create an

928
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 3: online personality that travels with you throughout your entire experience.

929
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 3: But it also is going to connect deeply with virtual reality.

930
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 3: And virtual reality is something that's already happening. I have

931
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 3: a Facebook Oculus, which is like their little virtual reality

932
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 3: goggles thing. It's kind of scary. I think I'm going

933
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 3: to give it away to my nephew. But it's really cheap.

934
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 3: It's like two hundred and sixty bucks, and it's honestly incredible.

935
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 3: You know, the graphics are incredible. And what's happening now

936
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 3: is we're to interact with people through this virtual experience

937
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 3: in a way that feels almost real, and so people

938
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: are living two lives they're living their physical life and

939
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 3: then they're putting on the goggles and they're living a

940
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 3: separate life completely through through this digital experience which has

941
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 3: no bounds, which you can connect with people at any

942
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 3: time from any place on Earth in this virtual world,

943
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 3: connected to this meta And you know, I'd highly recommend

944
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 3: that anyone who's listening to this to get a full

945
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 3: picture of some of the things that are possible, you

946
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: actually listen to the Dark Lord Mark Zuckerberg's most recent

947
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 3: talk on Meta. They renamed Facebook into Meta. They rebranded

948
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 3: Facebook into Meta, and he gave a creepy, spooky, scary,

949
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 3: disgusting talk on what they're doing in the metaverse and

950
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 3: how they're going to shape and create it. And you

951
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 3: should watch it at least so you know what they

952
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 3: have in store for us. And after you watch that,

953
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 3: watch a TV show called Black Mirror, which is a

954
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 3: dystopian science fiction thriller series. And if you watch those

955
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 3: two combined, you will have an anxiety attack like nobody's business.

956
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 3: But at least you'll understand, you know what's possible. And

957
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 3: I will say this, Facebook is aiming to create a

958
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: centralized metaverse where they control your entire experience of this

959
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: virtual world that we are going to live in. And

960
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 3: by the way, this is not something that might happen,

961
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 3: it's already happening. Where do you think the money is going.

962
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 3: The money is going into that direction. You know, Facebook

963
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 3: is devoting themselves to becoming a metaverse company, a blockchain company. Square,

964
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: for instance, Jack Dorsey stepped down from Twitter. He's the

965
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 3: founder of Square. Square is now becoming block block is

966
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 3: a bitcoin company now, so they're becoming a cryptocurrency company.

967
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 3: So all the capital in the big tech is going

968
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: towards blockchain, meta crypto. So it's not if it's going

969
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 3: to happen, it's an eventuality. So watch Zuckerberg's take on

970
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: this and realize they're trying to create a centralized version

971
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 3: of this meta virtual experience many of the And if

972
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 3: you're if you're older than thirty right now, you're seeing

973
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 3: this and saying, well, you know, I'm not going to

974
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 3: get involved in that, and maybe you'll live part of

975
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: your life where you're not really that involved in it.

976
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 3: By guarantee you, your kids and your grandkids and their

977
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 3: kids will have a first hand experience of this from

978
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 3: jump school, will be in this work, will be in this,

979
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 3: and recreation will be in this, and it's not something

980
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 3: that you're going to have necessarily a choice of whether

981
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 3: or not to interact with because it's going to be

982
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 3: do you have a choice really to use a self?

983
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: When you do, but it becomes so inconvenient that that

984
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 3: you end up doing it, and so so there's there's

985
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 3: going to be a choice that we have to make

986
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 3: about how we want to create this new reality and

987
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 3: it's coming. So get ready.

988
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 4: Oh wow, so much for that.

989
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 3: Right, you want to have an anxiety attack?

990
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 5: That was That was a lot.

991
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 6: But you know, I think about as you were explaining that,

992
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 6: I think about our ancestors in the eighteen hundreds or

993
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 6: the sixteen hundreds and how they were living life and

994
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 6: what they would think about how we are living currently. Right,

995
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 6: And hell, even if I think about my great grandmother,

996
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 6: who lived to be almost ninety and was born in

997
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 6: early nineteen hundred, Right, if I just think about her

998
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 6: life and so we're talking like a little over one

999
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 6: hundred years ago. If I think about her life and

1000
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 6: how things evolved over the course of her lifetime and

1001
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 6: how things have continued to evolve since her death, it

1002
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 6: makes sense. I think how the direction that.

1003
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 5: We're moving towards.

1004
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 3: I mean, when I was born, my great great grandmother

1005
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 3: was still alive. Her name was Agnes, which is what

1006
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 3: you're named when you're a great great grandmother. She was

1007
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 3: born in eighteen ninety nine, So imagine, imagine someone from

1008
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 3: that time period looking at us now. And one question

1009
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 3: that comes to mind is when is enough enough?

1010
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 5: Right?

1011
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think we're gonna be able to

1012
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 3: stop this train, but enough.

1013
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 4: That's a good point. And that's a great safeway, Daniel,

1014
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 4: because you know right now, what we want to do

1015
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 4: is we want to shift up the energy of this conversation, Daniel,

1016
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 4: because we recognize, appreciate, and celebrate the multifaceted woman on

1017
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 4: this podcast. Right we believe that it's okay to be bougie,

1018
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 4: classy and ratchet, and we believe that you can still

1019
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 4: be elegant and dance to strip club music. We want

1020
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 4: to invite you to the oh you blash it segment?

1021
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 4: So do you take on the challenge?

1022
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 3: Oh, I gotta I gotta a pull on the.

1023
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 5: I love it. He is ready, Let's do it.

1024
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 4: Let's do it. So, Daniel, we have three questions for you.

1025
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 4: We're going to ask three questions. We're going to share

1026
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 4: three sentence completions, and then we're going to have you

1027
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 4: choose a number between one and three. We have three

1028
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 4: photos pulled up from your Instagram, and you choose a

1029
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 4: photo or we want you to explain the photo, provide

1030
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 4: some context, tell us something about the photo. We wouldn't

1031
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 4: know by looking at the photo.

1032
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 3: This is a good you're that's good.

1033
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 4: Oh, now that you've agreed, we're gonna we're just gonna

1034
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 4: jump on in. So the first question here again, classy

1035
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 4: bougie ratchet, how would you describe n f T to

1036
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 4: n f TS to a second grader?

1037
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 3: I would describe it as digital artwork that pays you forever.

1038
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:28,479
Speaker 5: Boom.

1039
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: I like that.

1040
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 6: All right, Now we're gonna go a little ratchet. You

1041
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 6: said you got a poll in the house, so you're

1042
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 6: going to twork or two step.

1043
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 3: Well I'm not going to twork, but I will two

1044
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 3: step all right, all.

1045
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,439
Speaker 5: Right, we will see you two step right around that pole.

1046
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 3: The poll is upstairs.

1047
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 4: Okay you The next question before we move on to

1048
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 4: sentence completions. The next question is what's the sexiest item

1049
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 4: you own?

1050
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 3: Sexy to me or sexy to a woman your choice. Hmmm,

1051
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 3: let me ask I love it.

1052
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 4: Yes, he's getting his wife in vod y'all.

1053
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 3: You didn't take that long to think about it either.

1054
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 3: I don't own it. The government owns that well, not

1055
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 3: if I put.

1056
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,959
Speaker 6: It on here exactly exactly put it on that watt.

1057
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 5: All right. So now we're going to move into sentenced completions.

1058
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 6: One question or topic I wish people asked me about

1059
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 6: more often.

1060
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 3: Is mental health.

1061
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 6: Well, Daniel, you know I am a psychologist, So I'm

1062
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 6: going to turn right around and ask you, Daniel, what

1063
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 6: do you want to share with us about mental health?

1064
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 3: I would like to share that confidence is a moving target,

1065
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 3: and you can generally be a confident person, but go

1066
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 3: through struggles with confidence. And what I've found is that

1067
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 3: you can be going through a downward spiral while you're

1068
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 3: still an upward trajectory in life. So don't mistake a

1069
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 3: downward spiral for a downward life path, because that sometimes

1070
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 3: drives you down a bit more. And confidence is something

1071
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 3: that I have found I gain more when I have

1072
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 3: credibility with myself. And the only way that I can

1073
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 3: have credibility with myself is if I do what I

1074
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 3: say I'm going to do, and doing what I say

1075
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to do doesn't always mean that I am

1076
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 3: doing what I want to do. So it's learning to

1077
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 3: detach my immediate feelings in the moment with my bigger

1078
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 3: purpose and staying integris with my word, because that keeps

1079
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 3: me in alignment. And when I am the same person

1080
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 3: on the inside that I am on the outside, that's

1081
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 3: when I feel my best and that keeps me mentally healthy.

1082
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 3: The times when I've been lowest mentally is when the

1083
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 3: person who I was acting or being on the outside

1084
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 3: without the person who I was being on the inside,

1085
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 3: and I felt out of alignment and broken. And so

1086
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 3: that for me has been a big key demental health.

1087
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 4: That is the word, and that takes us to our

1088
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 4: last sentence completion, which is a nice little full circle

1089
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 4: moment here. What I love most about myself is what I.

1090
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 3: Love most about myself is my resilience.

1091
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 4: We appreciate the thoughtfulness too, very intentional and well, Daniel,

1092
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 4: we have some photos pulled up, so if you can

1093
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 4: choose a number of between one and three, we'll go.

1094
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 4: We'll go ahead and show you those photos. Really three,

1095
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 4: all right, let's see what three is. Oh, this is

1096
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 4: a good one. Okay, cool, We're gonna go ahead and

1097
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 4: share the screen, and for the folks that are not

1098
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 4: tuning into the video, feel free to describe the photo

1099
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 4: and then give us more context about.

1100
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 3: Okay, this is a good one. This is me and

1101
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 3: a friend of mine. His name is Tom, and this

1102
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 3: is Tom bill you And this was taken in twenty eighteen.

1103
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 3: I had a group of clients and students who I

1104
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 3: was lucky enough to take to Tom's house. Now, what's

1105
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 3: special about Tom is not what most people would think

1106
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 3: is unique about him on the outside. What you will

1107
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 3: admire about him is that he sold a business for

1108
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 3: a billion dollars. So he was the CEO of Quest Nutrition,

1109
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 3: which is a big nutrition company, Quest Bars, which, by

1110
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 3: the way, I like those bars, but if you eat

1111
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 3: even just too you'll get constipated. So I'm like, man,

1112
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 3: even a billion dollar company. It's like, Tom, you're constipating

1113
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 3: me here. It's like, come on, man, you know whatever.

1114
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 3: But that's a separate conversation because I used to eat

1115
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 3: those a lot, and I'm like, this is like a

1116
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 3: billion dollars constipated man. But what I love about Tom

1117
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 3: is that I know people who are so much less

1118
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 3: traditionally successful to him by average capitalistic standards, who are

1119
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 3: fucking assholes. And Tom will still respond to my texts

1120
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 3: in a timely manner. He still maintained his humanity. He

1121
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 3: is a really, really great person who is extremely giving,

1122
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 3: and that to me shines more than his technical accomplishments,

1123
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 3: which are great. And at this moment, we were talking

1124
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 3: about balancing work and family life, and he was actually

1125
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 3: explaining to me why him and his wife Lisa decided

1126
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 3: not to have kids, and he was just explaining how

1127
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 3: they made a decision earlier in their careers where they

1128
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 3: wanted to go full bore on their career and they

1129
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 3: knew that they wanted to live a life that didn't

1130
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 3: include kids, and they were okay with that. And Lisa

1131
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 3: was explaining to me how she remembers vividly being a kid,

1132
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 3: and although she doesn't have them, she feels like she

1133
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 3: can still connect to them because she still connects to

1134
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 3: her own childhood memories.

1135
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 4: So that's amazing, so beautiful. I left his interviews, by

1136
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 4: the way, and I'm glad you pronounced his last name

1137
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 4: because I was always mispronouncing it, So thank you. Thank

1138
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 4: you for that. Awesome.

1139
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 6: Yes, well, Daniel, I mean we cannot thank you enough

1140
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 6: for this amazing conversation. I feel like we could sit

1141
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,000
