1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Most people feel like the world is getting more chaotic, 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: markets whipping around, politics getting louder, institutions are losing trust. 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: But what if none of this is random? What if 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: not chaos at all? But it's a system doing exactly 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: what it was designed to do. Now, today's conversation is 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: about who actually runs the world and how money is 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: used to enforce that power. Now, my guest is Simon Dixon. Now, 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: he was speaking at bitcoin conferences fourteen years ago, right 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: after bitcoin crashed from thirty dollars all the way down 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: to three, long before the institutions, the ETFs or any 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: mainstream adoption or even part of the conversation. And he 12 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: spent decades inside banking, capital markets, and inside bitcoin. But 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: instead of reacting to the world as it changes, he 14 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: studies the patterns underneath it. Now, if you're trying to 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: understand why markets behave the way they do, why volatility 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: keep showing up at the worst possible times, or why 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: Bitcoin went from being attacked to being embraced by Wall Street, 18 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: this conversation is about to change how you see it all. 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and jump right in with Simon. Simon, 20 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: most people feel like the world's getting crazier. Maybe they 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: can't really put their finger on it. They can't explain 22 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: why if somebody's going to watch this episode all the 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: way through, what are they going to see about money 24 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: and power? And they'll hear from you that they won't 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: be able to unsee afterwards. 26 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: Great questions. So yeah, I pretty much spent my life 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: for the last twenty five years trying to unpack the 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 2: financial system and the impact it has on corporate, countries 29 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: and individuals. And you know, I've been trying to help 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: people understand that actually, and I think this is what's 31 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: been revealed right now that most governments in the West 32 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: are fully subordinate to what I call a financial industrial complex. 33 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: And that financial industrial complex I call it a proof 34 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: of weapons network off bitcoin, because it's able to weaponize 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: media within its structure of public companies, is able to 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: weapized technology and algorithms, so you've got the traditional media 37 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: and the alternative media. Is able to weaponize military and 38 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: covert both overt and covert operations. And the structure of 39 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: subordination for all countries, individuals, and corporations is really that 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: financial industrial complex, which is, you know, a complex of 41 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: asset managers where everyone's contributing their money and they get 42 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: these passive index flows into ETFs. The private equity and 43 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 2: bench capital industry, the creators of all FIA currency through 44 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: commercial banking, and the creator of all securities, both their 45 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: and equity markets in the investment banking side, and they've 46 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: really mastered the art of what I call vasalization of corporate, 47 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: country and individual and the individual level, it looks like 48 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: indebtedment and all of your ass in a structure that 49 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: somebody else custodies. On the corporate level, it's about borrowing 50 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: against your equity value and being subordinate to debt instruments, 51 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: passive flows through index funds, and really being on the 52 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 2: right side of media so that they can control the narrative. 53 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: And on the sovereign country level, it's about, you know, 54 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 2: covert wars, submission to financial weapons of mass destruction, and 55 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: your ability to be able to have some kind of 56 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: resilience from IMF debt and various other competing factions of 57 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: power right now. And so it really is a Bitcoin 58 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: story because it allows you to be sovereign at the 59 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: individual level, the corporate level, and the country level. But 60 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: we are very much in a struggle right now. I 61 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: believe for this same financial industrial complex us to try 62 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: and centralize as much Bitcoin as possible, and the recognition 63 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: that they can use these debt instruments to really short 64 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: term control bitcoin and use it in order to submit 65 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: people into not owning their own bitcoin, but owning it 66 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: with a treasury company, or borrowing against it, levering it 67 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: up in custody, or you know, holding it within an ETF. 68 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: So I think that sums up where we are right now. 69 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: Well, that's a lot for us to unpack. So I mean, unfortunately, 70 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: we probably need a couple hours to dissect all that, 71 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: and we're not going to get through all that, but 72 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: I want to dig in through as much as we can. 73 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: So if I'm summarizing what you're saying, you're basically saying 74 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: that power follows those who control access to the capital 75 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: or or control the capital and access to the capital. 76 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,559 Speaker 1: It's not maybe not the politicians. It's really all about 77 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: the capital. And so there's a lot to dig into 78 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: proof proof the power is those that control the capital, 79 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: But in order to get access to the capital, you 80 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: have to subor subordinate yourself to that agenda. So if 81 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: the power flows through capital instead of through the governments. 82 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: Then let's go back to the beginning. So the question 83 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: then becomes historical. So how did it end up this way? 84 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: Well, I think we're at you know, this was a 85 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 2: central banking scheme. As it were. Prior to central banking, 86 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: we had different constructs and different structures. But when the 87 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: British Empire was looking to fund its wars, it needed 88 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: a structure, a structured vehicle in order to try and 89 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: get as much access to the Great British Pound backed 90 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: by gold as it could, and the Bank of England 91 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: was created in order to create an accounting trick that 92 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 2: was backed up by the taxpayer, the taxpayers of the 93 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: people to pay the interest on debt, so that the 94 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: government could have essentially borrow as much as it can 95 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: and then it went siphoned off into the Dutch East 96 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: India Company, so were a private public partnership. Through the 97 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: creation of the currency, the interest was covered through taxation 98 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: and then you could use that in order to pillage 99 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: countries so that you could gain access to real assets, 100 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 2: whether it be energy in later, but originally it was 101 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: mercantilism through gold, silver and so this British Empire model 102 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 2: and that was created from the Dutch Empire. But once 103 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: the host, the Bank of England, had successfully bankrupted the 104 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: British government and asset stripped as many assets as possible 105 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: through its mercantile colonial expedites, it found a new host, 106 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 2: and so we entered into the creation of the Federal 107 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: Reserve after the third attempt in order to install a 108 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: similar model in America, and that required a war in 109 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: order to reset the order. You had the funding through 110 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: central banking and Wall Street of all the different ideologies. 111 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: So you had the Bolshevik Revolution that replaced the Russian 112 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: Saw and its gold with the Soviet Union and the 113 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: communist ideology. In the case of America, you had the 114 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: Bank of England model, which was a debt based Ponzi 115 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: scheme that was packaged as capitalism in order to indebt 116 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: all of the corporations, all of the individuals, and the government. 117 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: An now we're at the end of that debt cycle. 118 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: And then at the same time you had the funding 119 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: of the fascist Nazi movement, which was a mechanism for 120 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: taking the gold that was at the Bank for International 121 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 2: Settlements and changing ownership of it into the Federal Reserve 122 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: via the Bank of England. Clearing system, and so we 123 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: fast forward all of that. You got war. War after war, 124 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: you got the same cycle. You got you know, the 125 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: end of a debt cycle, and then round about the 126 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: global financial crisis, which is the asset stripping phase where 127 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: you essentially, you know, consolidate as much power as possible. 128 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: Organizations like black Rock ended up acquiring because the Federal 129 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: Reserve was using its technology and it was a contractor, 130 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: it ended up acquiring Barclay's ETFs that gave them access 131 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: to all those passive flows they were able to through 132 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: the public markets in capture all of the media. The 133 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: media under the military industrial complex was able to get 134 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: access to intelligence and covert operations to manipulate the media. 135 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: And then we had several things like COVID where the 136 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: Treasury was then using black Rock in order to decide 137 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: how to allocate money, and through the Bank of International 138 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: Settlements and Federal Reserve System, and the FED is the 139 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: main shareholder in the ABYSS, you had this network of 140 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: central banks where you could rage currency wars on populations 141 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 2: in order to milkshake everyone's assets and currencies into lending 142 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: back to the US government, which was built upon this 143 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: military industrial complex that's now kind of turned into a 144 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: technical industrial complex, which brings us into the creation of 145 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: bitcoin as an alternative resistance. But the power structures right now, 146 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: I believe he committing operations in order to strategically weaken 147 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: the dollar assets, strip all of the Americans out of 148 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: their assets through the US stop market, bankrupt the government 149 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 2: through the US bomb market, and then reset the world 150 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: and hedge into multipolar blocks. And so there are several 151 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 2: wars that need to be resolved in order to split 152 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: the world into these blocks, which is based upon the 153 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 2: country's that have built sovereign wealth by utilizing the dollar 154 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: and utilizing and building a manufacturing base in the case 155 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: of China, and that kind of brings us into the 156 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: world we're in right now, which is a currency war environment, 157 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 2: which I know it sounds pretty crazy, but it's actually 158 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: a very a better version of what World War three 159 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 2: would have looked like. I think we've avoided World War 160 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: three because the world, through these trade wars and currency 161 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: wars and economic wars, has determined what the world looks 162 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: like and who's going to partner with this financial industrial 163 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: complex and the role of each country in this new 164 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: order that we're entering. Into right now. 165 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: Wow, there's a lot to unpack there. We've went through 166 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: several hundred years of history. It sort of sounds like 167 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: the saying that nothing changes other than the names in 168 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: the faces. So it's like we have this like regime 169 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: that was as symboled a few hundred years ago. The 170 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: Bank of England was put together in the late sixteen 171 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: hundreds in the early seventeenth century, are they Yeah, and 172 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: it was put together to fight war, right, they didn't 173 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: have enough money to go fight the war. You sort 174 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: of talked about how it sort of steamrolled through Europe, 175 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: through the bullshit Revolution in Russia, through Germany just to 176 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: kind of, I guess, continue to grow and centralize the 177 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: financial system power, including in the US. And what we're 178 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: seeing today, I think is what you're describing is just 179 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: a continued growth of that power network and the consolidation 180 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: of At the same time, you've heard me talking about 181 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: investing in layers and things like the reason you have 182 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: to work so hard is because your money doesn't Well. 183 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: I want to invite you to a special event. I'm 184 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: having a three day live event called the Wealth Operating System. 185 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: It's an accelerator event. We I'm going to teach you 186 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: all the tools that the one percent use to have 187 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: their money work harder than they do. Get in their 188 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: money to do one job, two jobs, three, five jobs 189 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: at once so it can work faster and harder than you. 190 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: Over three days, we're gonna go deep.

Check out 206 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: the link down below. 207 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're getting a slightly different flavor of it 208 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 2: right now, because historically capital has determined you know, money 209 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: and power. Over time, money and power changes. So you know, 210 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: it used to be in the Federal Reserve time you 211 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 2: had to say Warburg family, you know, in as the 212 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: governor of the Rice Bank, which was mainly you know, 213 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: the Bank for International Settlements and the Federal Reserve. He 214 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: had the same families and previous the British Empire was 215 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: connected to influential families, whether it be Rothschilds and various others. 216 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 2: Then you had the Morgans and the various other families 217 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: that were part of the American Industrial Revolution and military 218 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: industrial complex. But what's happened over time is they created 219 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: a construct where you had all these offshore trust structures 220 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: via the British Empire, so through like the Cayman Islands, 221 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: the Isle of Man and the various other constructs where 222 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 2: this family wealth was encapsulated into trust structures in offshore 223 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: tax havens. And then the you know, by creating the dollar, 224 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: which was the most successful operation to extract all the 225 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: assets into essentially the hands of the few that we 226 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: have right now. The you know, the dollar was a 227 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: mechanism for the private bank to benefit from from you know, 228 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: basically creating money through no fractions and no reserves. They 229 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: called it fractional reserves and essentially co opting the government 230 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 2: through lobby so that they control Congress, they control Senate, 231 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: so they control laws. And then through this quote unquote 232 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: deep state and military industrial complex that gets access to 233 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: Pentagon budgets by lobbying the Senate in Congress in order 234 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: to print money to roll over the debt Ponzi scheme. 235 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: And then you could control where that money goes and 236 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: flows through the private banking sector, which is fractional reserve banking, 237 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: which is always the real estate. And then you have 238 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: the investment banks that allocate the capital into the stock market. 239 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: And then you have the Pentagon budget which allows you 240 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: to access you know, intelligence agencies to siphon money back 241 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: into this. Now, what is an interesting trend I think 242 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: we're witnessing right now is firstly, the British Empire to 243 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: the American Empire was kind of like the same type 244 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: of power structure, but the American Empire to this multipolar 245 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: world of regional blocks which is bricks. The SEOS Shanghai 246 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: Cooperation Organization as in the Asian countries, the GCC, the 247 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: Golf Cooperation Council, and these African unions. They're all organizing 248 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: around de dollarization and the financial industrial complex. They controlled 249 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: the dollar, the pounds, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican you know, 250 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: the West as it were. But they're managing a transition 251 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: to sovereign countries that own sovereign wealth, and so that 252 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: involves a negotiation between these regional blocks that control their 253 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: own currencies that can't be subjected to you know, some 254 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: of them are peg to the dollar, so they need 255 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: to break that peg. Japan is breaking the Japan carry trade. 256 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 2: Europe is being turned into a war zone in which 257 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: breaks the euro dollar. And so now you've got the 258 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: euro dollar, the petro dollar, the pegs, the Japan carry 259 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: trade that are all strategically weakening the dollar while then 260 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: negotiating with golf countries that are co investing. And then 261 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: at the same time you've got a rising technical industrial complex. 262 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: Now in a world where money becomes less relevant because 263 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 2: algorithmic control is what's important, you end up with a 264 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: control power structure which is also a transition, and that 265 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: brings us into artificial intelligence, data centers, energy, bitcoin mining 266 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 2: and all this plethora of things that we're trying to 267 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: unpack and figure out where it all lands at the end. 268 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: I mean, so when we go through this, we have 269 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: again one hundreds of years of this and so back 270 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: to the creation of the Bank of England, all the 271 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: way up to nineteen seventy six or seventy one, sorry, 272 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: this was all an equity based system. So while it 273 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: meaning it was still a gold system, it wasn't really 274 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: a debt based system. So while there was certainly money 275 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: creation since the sixteen hundreds, it was still all around 276 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: that gold basis. So then having gold or sound money 277 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: didn't really prevent this system from happening. Maybe when it 278 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: ended in nineteen seventy one into a pure fear system 279 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: that allowed it to scale faster and more powerfully. I 280 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: think from understanding what you're saying properly right, the system 281 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: existed even under a gold based equity based system. It's 282 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: only continued to grow and expand in a pure debt 283 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: based monetary system. 284 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, so those that controlled the goals. Now this is 285 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: where it gets into a bitcoin and gold argument, and 286 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: the limitations of gold is the physicality of it and 287 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: on the lack of ability to order it and then 288 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: transport it easily, and so essentially what you happened for example, 289 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: in Nazi fascism under the Hitler regime. When Hitler went 290 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 2: into Czechoslovakia, he had an arrangement with the Bank for 291 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 2: International Settlements, which was connected and affiliated with the German 292 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 2: manufacturing base and the Rights Bank, and all he had 293 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: to do was persuade the Bank for International Settlement to 294 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 2: change the label on the gold. So as Germany invaded 295 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 2: into Czechoslovakia, the Czechoslovakian gold had a new draw and said, right, 296 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: that's no longer Czechoslovakia, that's now Germany, and so you 297 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: were able to change it. Now the Bank for International 298 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: Settlements didn't have the gold. It was actually held with 299 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 2: the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve, so ownership. 300 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 2: And then you had to have this deepeg between draining 301 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 2: the gold reserves of the Great British Pound and transferring 302 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: it over to a strengthening currency of the dollar, which 303 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: meant that you could the you know, you could cash 304 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: in on these arrangements to get the gold physically delivered 305 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: into Fort Knox. And then once you had all the gold, 306 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 2: by providing all the weapons and not being bombed. You 307 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 2: were able to tell everybody or dictate the terms of 308 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: the dollar, which is, you will come off the gold standard, 309 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 2: you convert your currency into dollars. We'll use the IMF 310 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: as the exchange. The World Bank will lend you the 311 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: reconstruction contracts, which is dollar demand. But if you don't 312 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: like it, then you can convert your dollar for gold. 313 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: And so we entered into the Cold War. You know, 314 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: World War II was resolved because America didn't want Russia 315 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: or the Soviet Union to essentially defeat Germany. So you 316 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 2: ended in this you know, this side. But then the 317 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: military industrial complex, which was the backbone of the manufacturing base, 318 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: which was utilized to force the world onto these dollars, 319 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 2: submit them into IMF loans, construct the petro dollar, construct 320 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 2: the euro dollar, force the Bank of Japan into a 321 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 2: becoming a piggy bank for the Americans dop market. Once 322 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 2: you've got all of the different central banks and printing 323 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: their currency in order to lend it to the US 324 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: government and purchase dollar bonds, you had this passive flow 325 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 2: of demand that strengthened the dollar strength and the dollar 326 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: strength and the dollar which meant that you were if 327 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,719 Speaker 2: you were pegging your currency to the dollar, you were 328 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: on the right side of the trade, but if you 329 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 2: were China, you were essentially devaluing your currency building your 330 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: manufacturing base. And obviously, in seventy one what the gold 331 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: was meant to correct this. But when France turned up 332 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 2: and said give us our gold with ships, you know, 333 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: Nixon took America off the gold standard, defaulted on their 334 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: debt because they wanted to basically continue the Vietnamese war, 335 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 2: and then they needed to go into the next phase 336 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: of war to fully bankrupt the US government continue the 337 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 2: debt based Ponzi scheme asset strip as much as they can, 338 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: and that required a full fear currancy debt based standard, 339 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: which is where we went, you know, leading up to 340 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: the global financial crisis and all the accelerating events that 341 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: are getting faster and faster and faster as we accelerate 342 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: to the next phase. 343 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: So we went from the gold based system, even though 344 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 1: there was still a central banking model and money printing 345 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: on a gold based system, to then a pure fiat 346 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: debt based system. 347 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And the dollar then just became a function 348 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: of how can you overtly and covertly force people to 349 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: purchase and lend to the US government. And so you 350 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: had this exceptionalism, which meant the world was printing their 351 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 2: currencies and in order to pay their dollar debt that 352 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 2: was forced through over and covert wars. And then once 353 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: you repaid that you were lending to the US government. 354 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 2: The US government was then extracting that into the US 355 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: stock market, and then the government was holding the debt. 356 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 2: The average in individual became product tied through trying to 357 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 2: enslave them with every type of debt possible. They were 358 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: paying the forty percent credit cards, payday loans, but the 359 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: corporate class they were able to borrow at zero percent. 360 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 2: Quantitative easing, create the dollar, create the debt, and then 361 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 2: the function of the debt today is how can you 362 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: get somebody to buy a US treasury? And so this 363 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 2: system works for as long as anyone will buy a 364 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: US treasury. And so you've got all the foreign governments 365 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 2: right now that are essentially going independent. So Japan's increasing 366 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: their interest rates and saying, let's repatriate capital, let's sell 367 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: down some of our treasuries. You've got this European side 368 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 2: where UK is essentially in a crisis that they're selling 369 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: down their treasuries. You've got China that's selling off their 370 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: treasuries as the dollar weeken, Saudi is selling off their treasuries. 371 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: And then you've got this innovation within America where they're 372 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: essentially deregulating the banking system, deregulating the pension system, creating 373 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 2: crypto products like stable coins. And so the number one 374 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 2: lender of the purchaser of these treasuries now as is 375 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 2: Cayman Islands, which is another way of saying black Croc, 376 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 2: State Street Vanguard. And you've entered into a cycle where 377 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: now the Trump administration is saying, right, how do we 378 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 2: roll over this debt next? All right, well, let's force 379 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: the rates, the short term interest rates down, roll it 380 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: over short term, and then we can dump those lower 381 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: interest rate treasuries on Cayman Island through your pension and 382 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 2: we can basically dump the bag on the American people. 383 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 2: While we're thinking of ways to roll over the debt, 384 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: I market stimulus two thousand dollars, stimy jets, fifty year mortgages, 385 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 2: which is a multi trillion dollar rollover and bail out 386 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: for the banks, fifty year mortgages, and at the same time, 387 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: a simultaneously you know, having America shrunk into a regional 388 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 2: power rather than exporting all this debt globally, Well. 389 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: What about exporting the debt globally through stable coins, which 390 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: are a big imperative of the Trump administration, Scopa cent 391 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: et cetera. So, while all this is happening, and to 392 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: the point that you're making, I mean, Russia and China 393 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: have been trying to dedollarize since twenty thirteen. This is 394 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: nothing new. The bricks have been trying to talk about 395 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: a new currency and dedollarizing for a long time. So 396 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: this has been going on for quite some time. But 397 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: as that's happening, we have dozens of currencies that are 398 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: under double digit or triple digit inflation around the world, 399 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: and those people want dollars, and so then they can 400 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: get stable coins, which then thereby the stable coin issuers 401 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: like tether circle by US treasuries. So they do seem 402 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: to be effectively sort of dumping this debt out into 403 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: the world. 404 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, so retell them on. So the dollar is propped 405 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 2: up by these large multinational you know important you know, 406 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: global structures that kind of create these institutional and central 407 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 2: bank demand for dollars. Now, retail is insignificant. So you know, 408 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 2: all they've done with the Genius Act is essentially said, 409 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: if you're a bank, then you can take your federal 410 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 2: reserves and you can use those as collateral for your 411 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 2: stable coin. So that's not new demand for treasuries. You've 412 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: got tether and all the technical industrial complex they're getting 413 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 2: to create their own stable coins. But so far that's 414 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 2: about three hundred billion. This is like a rounding error 415 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 2: in terms of what would need to happen to make 416 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 2: it meaningful. So is new treasury issuance, which really is 417 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: short term treasuries, which doesn't make up the longer term 418 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 2: lending of the government debt. So it's essentially a mechanism 419 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 2: for turning America into a distressed type of always rolling 420 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: over the debt on short term interest rates, which they 421 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: can then get the Fed to push those rates down, 422 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: but the longer term rates are going, which is what 423 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: you need to sustainably maintain the dollar dominance. And then 424 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 2: simultaneously all the central banks are selling their treasuries for gold, 425 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 2: but they're trying to do it in a managed way, 426 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: you know, much like when the British Empire transitioned to 427 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 2: the American Empire. It happened over ten to twenty years, 428 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: and I believe that the financial industrial complex is actively 429 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: managing that that transition, and then negotiating with all the 430 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 2: different blocks around, like acquisition of resources, which is why 431 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 2: you're seeing a lot of you know, escalations in Venezuela 432 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: and various other things. Then negotiating new terms for Chevron 433 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 2: and Xon, then negotiating new defense deals for Exon, you know, 434 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 2: for Locked Martin general. Dynamic. Essentially, they're assets stripping everything 435 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: they can into the US stock market, turning the US 436 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 2: debt through fiscal dominant short term and then perpetuating this 437 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 2: stable coins which is short term debt, which I think 438 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 2: is part of them building their programmable surveillance state integrated 439 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 2: with social credit scores and artificial intelligence, and seeing how 440 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 2: much retail adoption they can get for that. But that 441 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: won't create enough demand to reverse, you know, the strategic 442 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 2: weakening of the dollar in order to push America into 443 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: a regional power. 444 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: So in a sense, you have maybe whoever whatever administration, 445 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: the Bide administration before the Trump administration today they're sort 446 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: of managing I guess it's the sane as like reorganizing 447 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: the deck chairs on the Titanic, Like they're reorganizing here 448 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: and they're kind of controlling what they have, but they 449 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: don't control the ship. Is that a way to kind 450 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: of frame what you're saying, Yeah, the government, is that 451 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: what you're saying. So like the Trump administration Scot percent 452 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: or the Bide administration before that, or whatever administration comes next, 453 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: they're trying to manage the best they can, but they're 454 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: sort of just organizing chairs on a deck. But what 455 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: you're saying is JP Morgan, Blackrock, et cetera. That are 456 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: really driving the ship. Every day we see headlines about 457 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: inflation and dead and diminishing control over our own money. 458 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: That's why I always come back to bitcoin because it's 459 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: built for generations, it's built for legacy.

Well, from the military industrial complex, the insurance companies, 483 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: the financial industrial complex, all the different lobbies, and that 484 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 2: capital is not deployed for any other reason than that 485 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: Congressman or Senate represents their interest. All you need to 486 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: do is look who Trump was funded by His number 487 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: one funder was Elon Mosk, representing the technical industrial complex. 488 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: His second funder was there was Palanteering Error as well 489 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: and Peter Tiel. His second funder was the Bank of 490 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: New York Mellon family, which is the financial industrial complex interest. 491 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: Then you had Mariam Maidlestone, which was kind of like 492 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 2: the Israel lobby APAC. That's a subset of the military 493 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: industrial complex. And you can look down at all the 494 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: different politicians and see the agenda. The first thing that 495 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: was announced was a big, beautiful bill increased the debt 496 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: ceiling to five trillion dollars. They did a government shut 497 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: down to destabilize the dollar further. Then basically the Democrats 498 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 2: were negotiating, you know, how much money can we get 499 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 2: to the insurance companies through these you know, Medicaid, Medicare, 500 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 2: social Security things, and then the Republican side were just 501 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: saying how much can we get into ai military companies. 502 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 2: Eventually you get that settlement, but they're literally just printing 503 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 2: as much reallocating that money to the interest that's propped 504 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 2: up those lobbies, and the government is one hundred percent 505 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 2: captured across the West, so. 506 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: Power struggles have been there since the beginning of time. 507 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: You can go through any government as far back as 508 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: history can show us, and there's you know, there's there's 509 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: there's power struggles. And as we've kind of gone through 510 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: now several hundred years of history, doesn't matter if it's 511 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: a gold standard, doesn't matter, it's a fiad standard. There's 512 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: going to be these power struggles, and I would imagine 513 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: as long as humans are on this earth, there's going 514 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: to continue to be power struggles. So let's bring this 515 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: down to more of a personal level. Why do I care? 516 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: Why do you care? Why do any of the let 517 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: listeners care? 518 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 2: Well? I think it's important to understand the game you're 519 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: playing in in order to understand the rules, because a 520 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 2: lot of people are distracted believing that if you go 521 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 2: from Biden to Trump it creates like a dopamine of 522 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 2: change that depending on your ideology, you suddenly get a hit. 523 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 2: But then you realize the big changes are just one one, 524 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 2: one policy, and it doesn't make any difference. And so 525 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: I think there's something very liberating and on a standing, 526 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 2: most people think that they're in a democracy where their 527 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: vote matters. Your vote doesn't matter. What matters is your money, 528 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: and so the political process is controlled by lobby and 529 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 2: if you want to engage in politics, then you need 530 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 2: to be rich. It's always been for the rich class. 531 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 2: It's always been that way. 532 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: You think, you think that's bad. 533 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any way of solving that or 534 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: resolving that, because whether you've got a democracy, a monarchy, 535 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 2: a communist, a socialist, or whatever, it tends to be 536 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 2: the richest and wealthy that set the rules because money 537 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 2: buys power, and power is corrupted through money. 538 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love this framing time, and I wanted to 539 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: spend a few minutes digging into this. I was on 540 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: a show just last week with another bitcoin a prominent bitcoinner. 541 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: We're both guests, and they were saying how the system 542 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: is broken and it's not serving people and the millennials 543 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,239 Speaker 1: are getting screwed and they can't buy houses and we 544 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: need bitcoin to change the system. And I said, hang on, 545 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: I look at it differently. Like the system's working exactly 546 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,479 Speaker 1: as it's intended to work. Most people just don't understand 547 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: the games, the game as it's intended. And so if 548 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: I were to bring a game over to your house, 549 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: the first thing you'd do is like well, what's the game, 550 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: what's the objective, who are the rules, what's the players? 551 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: And if I can learn how to play the game, 552 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: it actually works very well for me. And so to 553 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: the point that you're bringing up, there's all this asset 554 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: stripping in the banks and the consolidation of power and 555 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: reshuffling the deck of the world, which sounds really bad. 556 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: But again, the question I asked you is bringing it 557 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,239 Speaker 1: back to individuals like you and I what does all 558 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: this mean to us? And I think what you're saying 559 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: is that what it means is that if we want 560 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: to get ahead as an individual, then we need to 561 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: learn what the game is and who's playing the game, 562 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: what the rules are, and then if we can play 563 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: along with that game, then we can probably also do 564 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: well with it. Would you say that's correct? Yeah? 565 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 2: Agree, And then let's bring this right down to the micraze. 566 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 2: So you know, once you understand how the system works, 567 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 2: you kind of arrive at the point where you want 568 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 2: to boycoll it the system right fundaments, we don't want 569 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 2: to support evil, and so you ask yourself, well, how 570 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 2: do you do that? And so I believe that the 571 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 2: America became the dollar, and the dollar was created by 572 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 2: the banks, and this financial industrial complex has been doing evil, 573 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 2: and so you ask what is the you know, how 574 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 2: is that allowed? Well, is through the federal reserve system. 575 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 2: So you then know, okay, well, let's focus on the 576 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 2: federal reserve system. You know, I'm not going to be 577 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 2: able to defeat this, this structural system. But how do 578 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 2: I exit it? How do I boycott it? How do 579 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 2: I not contribute to it? Because my personal belief, and 580 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 2: this is a bit more philosophical, is that money has 581 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 2: spiritual energy. And when you when your money is achieved 582 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 2: through evil means like supporting palent here while it's doing 583 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 2: all sorts of evil around the world, then it comes 584 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 2: with a baggage and energy that I think drives you 585 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 2: into more degeneracy, more gambling, more things that are productive 586 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 2: and harmful, where you get the illusion of the success 587 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 2: of wealth, but your life is a disaster. And so 588 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 2: I believe when you achieve your money through you know, 589 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 2: means that are fundamentally good for humanity, in whatever you 590 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 2: define that to be, then I found it to be 591 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: more sustainable and it actually multiplies further, and rather than 592 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 2: ending up degenerate gambling in shitcoins, you end up doing 593 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 2: things like sustainably investing, you know, in bitcoin in order 594 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 2: to try and increase your wealth and then do good 595 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 2: with your wealth. So fundamentally, how do you boycott the 596 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 2: Federal Reserve? Well, you do that with either gold, which 597 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 2: is what the central banks are doing today, or you 598 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 2: do it with bitcoin, which is what individuals can do today. 599 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 2: But once you've got the Federal Reserve, who does the 600 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 2: Federal Reserve work for? When it works for the banks, 601 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 2: because it's owned by the banks, and so you can 602 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 2: then look at, well, who are the banks owned by? 603 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: What? 604 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 2: They're owned by the asset managers. So how did the 605 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 2: banks get there? Well, they create the dot every time 606 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 2: they issue alone and turn you into a product where 607 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 2: you're a debt slave to the system. And then they 608 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 2: create the security, which is purchased via blackrock via your pension. 609 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 2: So you're paying for it for a black rock to 610 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 2: buy it and own it. The bank created it by 611 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 2: you signing a contract and a mortgage, but they got 612 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: the dollars and they got to buy the asset and 613 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 2: they own your real estate. So then you're like, hey, 614 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 2: that's a bit, that's a bit of a scam. Really, 615 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 2: So how do you boycott that. Well, let's not buy 616 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 2: my bitcoin via the black rock etf If I'm going 617 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 2: to buy it, I'll buy it and hold it in 618 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 2: self custody. And then what else do they want you 619 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: to do? Okay, so take your self custody bitcoin and 620 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 2: put it in custody with me, and I'll give you 621 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 2: a loan against it. So they want you to custody 622 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 2: it with them so that they can mine some fa 623 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 2: currency and get you in the eternal debt trap, so 624 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 2: that when they manipulate the price by leveraging your bitcoin 625 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 2: in custody and creating derivatives, they want to steal your 626 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 2: bitcoin by trying to margin call you and get you 627 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 2: into degeneracy and gambling. And so you can boycott that 628 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: by not borrowing against your bitcoin, then you get further 629 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 2: and right, I'm building my wealth. What am I going 630 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 2: to do with my wealth? Am I going to invest 631 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 2: in the stock market? Am I going to keep it 632 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: in bitcoin? Or am I going to invest in decentralized 633 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 2: local businesses that make my local community better? Or am 634 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: I going to invest in Palanteer and Apple in the 635 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 2: S and P and just give more power to them 636 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 2: in order to use and spend my money in their 637 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 2: way and support this globalist infrastructure. And so you spend 638 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 2: local and you invest local, and then armed with all 639 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 2: of that, you can get redirect the flow of money. 640 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 2: If you get wealthy enough, you can engage in political 641 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 2: process through your wealth. And that's how I think you 642 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 2: you know, that's what I think you can do at 643 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: the individual level. Now, if you've got bitcoin wealth, what 644 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 2: else can you do where you can escape your government 645 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 2: and not be star in a jurisdiction that might be 646 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 2: about to implement an exit bax or a wealth bax 647 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 2: or something that allows them to take your wealth and 648 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 2: invest it in wars and military. And so this is 649 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 2: the sovereign power. And by having it in self custody 650 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 2: at scale where you can spend it anywhere globally, you 651 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 2: can start to build your own you know, import goods 652 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 2: direct from the farmers in any country. You can escape 653 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 2: a country if you think that it's getting too much tyrannical, 654 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 2: and your wealth can go with you, just based by knowing, 655 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 2: you know, taking your private key with you. And so 656 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 2: I don't think everybody's going to do this. Most people 657 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 2: are going to fall for the syop, which is that 658 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 2: they're going to buy a Bitcoin ETF if they do 659 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 2: at all, they're going to hold it in custody with 660 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 2: black Rock. They're going to borrow against it, they're going 661 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 2: to get margin called, they're going to go into gambling, 662 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 2: into generacy. They're going to go for the easy option 663 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 2: of the S and P. So they're going to be 664 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 2: investing in evil and they're going to be giving Blackrock 665 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 2: their money to make all their investment decisions for them. 666 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 2: Most people will do that, but we need to maintain 667 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 2: why did Setoshi Nakamoto give us this open source code 668 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 2: on a decentralized network where you can run a node 669 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 2: and back up transactions. Where he gave it for the few. 670 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 2: They're going to want to be free and then you 671 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 2: become the next elite, and hopefully you don't become as 672 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 2: evil as the current elite because you want more sovereign power. 673 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 2: But that's yet to be determined or proven. 674 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, what you're talking about the energy, and it is philosophical, 675 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: but I think I spent a lot of time thinking 676 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 1: about that because you have to manage that. Jeff Booth 677 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: talks about this quite often, like stop giving your energy 678 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: to that system. So even just measuring things in dollars, 679 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: Like you said, investing into those dollar denominated assets, you're 680 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: continue to give that energy to those networks, and so 681 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: we have this opportunity to sort of opt out create 682 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: this new network. And so you know that's what I do. 683 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: Hold bitcoin and self custody. Through my fund, Bigcoin Opportunity Fund. 684 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: We invest into bitcoin businesses until we can continue to 685 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: build out the eco system. But you mentioned the Black 686 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: Rocks and the ETFs, and if I borrow against it, 687 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 1: I could get margin called, which is maybe the games 688 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: they'll play to continue to try to get that bitcoin 689 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 1: from us, separate us from our bitcoin. As they continue 690 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: to do this. JP Morgan just launched this new bitcoin 691 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 1: structured product, which is actually a synthetic bitcoin product, sort 692 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: of like how they've always tried to co opt gold 693 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: or silver or anything else. So what are the risks 694 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: I can protect myself. I could buy bitcoin that I 695 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: could remember twelve words in my head, and I could 696 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: go anywhere in the world. But if the JP Morgans 697 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: and the Black Rocks are continuing to consolidate that power, 698 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: what danger does that pose to me? Even as a 699 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: sovereign individual. Governments will never stop printing money, so inflation 700 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: it's not going away. Now. If your money's not earning 701 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: at least ten percent a year, you're losing purchasing power. 702 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: That's why I talk about bitcoin. It's the number one 703 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: way to beat inflation and secure your future. And the 704 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: question I get asked almost every day is where do 705 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: you buy your bitcoin? Now? For years, I've personally use 706 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: River dot com and I only take on sponsors that 707 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: I use and I trust, and I trust them because 708 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: River's bitcoin only. They have one hundred percent reserve, and 709 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: they keep your bitcoin safe in cold storage with no middlemen, 710 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 1: and you can actually talk to a real person, a 711 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: US based support dedicated manager. Now, try getting that peace 712 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: of mind from coinbase. Of course you can't now the perks. 713 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 1: If you set up auto buys, you can pay zero 714 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: fees plus instead of your bank paying you, you know, 715 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 1: zero point four percent on cash, River pays you three 716 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: point seventy five percent on cash paid in bitcoin. So 717 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: if you're ready to build your bitcoin position with confidence, 718 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: go to River dot com, slash Mark Moss and get 719 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 1: up to one hundred dollars in bitcoin when you sign up. 720 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: Because freedom starts when you own your money and your 721 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: money starts with bitcoin. 722 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it drives you to more long term behavior 723 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 2: because in markets. I used to work in market making 724 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 2: in no market manipulation very well, but in markets it's 725 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 2: very easy to manipulate markets short term. And Bitcoin's always 726 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: been manipulated short term. This isn't a new behavior. You know, 727 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: I'm a shareholder in many of the exchanges, and I 728 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 2: know that the goal is to get you to custody 729 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 2: with them, trade leverage, go into shitcoins and all the 730 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 2: other games. You know. It started as a simple model, 731 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,839 Speaker 2: but you end up in there, and those that want 732 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 2: to manipulate the price and bitcoin, they choose to send 733 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 2: like an incredible amount of bitcoin over to coinbase. People 734 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 2: would speculate on what that means. You can then use 735 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 2: social media and media in order to drive people to 736 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 2: certain behaviors. When they started building bitcoin back loans, they 737 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 2: could then use margin calls. When they got you into 738 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 2: perpetual futures and leverage and fifty x, they controlled the 739 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 2: game of manipulation. They were you know that game and 740 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 2: short term, there's not a lot you can do about 741 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 2: it than recognize and know that you're not in that club. 742 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 2: And if you're not in that club. You probably don't 743 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 2: want to trade, but you can invest into weakness, and 744 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 2: you know, the whole own more bitcoin every month type 745 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 2: of mantra came about because the investors are all equal. 746 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 2: Now longer term it's harder and harder because there's a 747 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 2: fixed supply asset. But Wall Street, after Operation Choke point 748 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 2: two point zero, they built all of the constructs that 749 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 2: they needed in order to manipulate the price of bitcoin. 750 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,399 Speaker 2: Take out the exchanges or co opt the exchanges, take 751 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 2: out the banks or co op the banks that we're 752 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 2: engaging in our sector, and then rebuild the entire bitcoin 753 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 2: financial industrial complex under the Trump administration. And so we've 754 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 2: seen that. So now you have bitcoin derivatives, you have 755 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 2: vehicles for centralizing as much bitcoin as possible. You have 756 00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 2: bitcoin treasury companies, which essentially, you know, the most successful 757 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 2: strategy has created a vehicle for Wall Street to manipulate 758 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 2: the price of bitcoin, because now you've created a game 759 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 2: where there's six hundred and fifty thousand bitcoin. Before the 760 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 2: latest round, you know, they had fifty four million dollars 761 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 2: of assets, seven hundred million dollars of liabilities, and so 762 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,359 Speaker 2: now you have to go to Wall Street raise more 763 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 2: money from the financial industrial complex in order to buy 764 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 2: more bitcoin. But now they have more and more influence, 765 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 2: they can use the derivatives market, they can use money printing, 766 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 2: which is essentially Cant Fitzgerald as a primary dealer. You 767 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,879 Speaker 2: can work with bitcoin treasury companies to try and get 768 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 2: them to issue stable coins and issue dollar loans against 769 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 2: their bitcoin in a Wall Street product. And now you've 770 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 2: set up the entire ecosystem for what operation Chow point 771 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 2: one point zero destroyed. Now you get banks to have 772 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,720 Speaker 2: it on their balance sheet. You then get fractional reserve 773 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,879 Speaker 2: paper bitcoin, You have derivatives market, you have the hedge 774 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 2: funds out there, and now the financial industrial complex essentially 775 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 2: can try and use these products to get you to 776 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 2: get to give your bitcoin over to them. And you know, 777 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 2: Strategy is a vehicle for centralizing as much bitcoin as 778 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 2: possible because you took debt instruments, perpetual instruments, and all 779 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 2: these different types of products against bitcoin, so that when 780 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 2: you want Strategy to sell bitcoin or raise more finance 781 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,760 Speaker 2: so that Strategy can become more subordinate to the JP morgans. 782 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 2: Then you can use the short term price manipulation, and 783 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 2: you can use media manipulation, index fund inclusion, and money 784 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,879 Speaker 2: printing in order to kind of create these vehicles. And 785 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,319 Speaker 2: so that's kind of you know where we are. You've 786 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 2: got ETFs to get all the passive money, you've got 787 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 2: strattery in bitcoin treasury companies to centralize in a subordinate 788 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 2: structure as much as you can using the debt markets 789 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 2: and the equity markets. They then found a tax incentive 790 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 2: to get as many bitcoin old bitcoin holders to centralize 791 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,720 Speaker 2: and borrow against their bitcoin. So they've built this incredibly well, 792 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 2: but making people believe that this is bitcoin adoption, when 793 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 2: essentially it's a control of as many bitcoin as possible 794 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 2: to those forces to try and persuade you to not 795 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 2: self custody your bitcoin. But the way you opt out 796 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 2: of that again is you don't go for these products. 797 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 2: You boycott the system, and you do the opposite of 798 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 2: what they want you to do. And then you have 799 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 2: this two tied system, which is bitcoin in the Wall Street, 800 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 2: Bitcoin in the financial industrial complex, and bitcoin in self custody. 801 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 2: Now there's a bit of a battle that we need. 802 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 2: We need as many of the network to remain in 803 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 2: self custody run their own nodes, because whenever there is 804 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 2: a you know, another block size war or another war 805 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 2: like the ones we're seeing right now, in also have 806 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,320 Speaker 2: to competing implementations that nodes are running. The only people 807 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 2: that are going to play in that game are going 808 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,320 Speaker 2: to be the people with bitcoin and self custody and 809 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 2: running nodes against coinbase and black Croc and all the others. 810 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: Man, Simon, you have opened up so many rabbit holes 811 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 1: that I want to dive down into. But we're out 812 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 1: of time, unfortunately, So we're gonna have to have another 813 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: conversation because I maybe don't see things exactly the same way. 814 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of a good conversation 815 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: we could have around the bitcoin treasury companies, I think, 816 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 1: some of the Wall Street products, sort of the way 817 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 1: the world is changing, some of the adoption stuff. So 818 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good conversations we could have on that. 819 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,359 Speaker 1: But the point, you know, overall, of course I agree 820 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 1: with most of everything. But the point that you're saying 821 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,959 Speaker 1: is we can just opt out. We can recognize the game. 822 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: We don't have to play that game. You know, I 823 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,320 Speaker 1: talk about being on a bitcoin standard, everything's getting cheaper 824 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: for me. While everyone's screaming about inflation and the world's 825 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 1: getting so expensive, like stuff gets cheaper for me. I 826 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 1: can just opt out. I can just do that. You 827 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: can do that. Everybody listening can do that. We can 828 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,839 Speaker 1: take into self custody. We don't have to play any 829 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: of those games. And I think the big takeaway here 830 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: is that what they can do is short term manipulation 831 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: the volatility to continue to centralize power. But if we're 832 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: out of that system and we're looking more long term, 833 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 1: we can just live through those drawdowns. We're not a 834 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 1: margin called we're not you know, playing with the leverage 835 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: things like that. But we got to wrap it up 836 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: with that. Like I said, there's so so many rabbit 837 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 1: holes we could dive down and have more specific conversations. 838 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about recently, what JP Morgan did 839 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: you know potentially to cause this whole market sell off 840 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 1: starting with October tenth when they made the announcement, when 841 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: Trump made the tweet announcement about China tariffs, and then 842 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 1: they changed the margin or margin requirements on MSTR stock. 843 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: That's like a whole other conversation we could have. 844 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:50,879 Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to. 845 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 1: Come back and by a little bit more pointed conversations 846 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:54,880 Speaker 1: but let's go ahead and wrap this up side and 847 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: you're a wealth of knowledge and you've been in the space. 848 00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: I mean I saw on your ex account, which we'll 849 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 1: link down below. You're speaking at a bitcoin conference fourteen 850 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 1: years ago when bitcoin had crashed from thirty dollars all 851 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,239 Speaker 1: the way down to three incredible. So well, we're going 852 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: to have you back, but let's let's wrap it up, Simon, 853 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: close out the show for us, you know, give us 854 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: some parting thoughts and where people can follow you and 855 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: pay attention to. 856 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. When I look at all the trends around 857 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 2: the world right now and even in the bitcoin ecosystem, 858 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,440 Speaker 2: the word is control. And when I think about it, 859 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,799 Speaker 2: after these fourteen years, what did bitcoin do? Will It 860 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,440 Speaker 2: gave people the ability to control their own wealth, spend 861 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 2: their own wealth, and can and have a mechanism where 862 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 2: a central banker couldn't change the monetary policy. And so 863 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 2: you know, these centralizing forces are about they don't want 864 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 2: you holding the private key. They want to control your 865 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 2: key for you and your bitcoin. And you can look 866 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 2: around the world and everything's about control, whether it's sovereign 867 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 2: wealth funds versus debt based ponzi schemes, and that really 868 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 2: is going to be the thing. So control is about 869 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 2: you know, you thinking about you, your loved ones, your family, 870 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,839 Speaker 2: what you control, what you own, and how you can 871 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 2: use that to protect yourself. And so yeah, it's a 872 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 2: big journey, but a few places you can get hold 873 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 2: of me. I'm because bitcoin gave me the freedom. My 874 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 2: company didn't need Silicon Valley money because of bitcoin. I 875 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 2: didn't need to go public because of bitcoin. And so 876 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 2: I have very few control structures, and I live on 877 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 2: an island where the government has no debt. So you know, 878 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,240 Speaker 2: it's all about that, you know, control at the moment. 879 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 2: And so I've got quite a lot of time. So 880 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 2: I post a lot on x in real time to 881 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,880 Speaker 2: help people follow the money and see through the media 882 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 2: and the lies of politicians. And I also tend to 883 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 2: as a discipline right now, go live once a week 884 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 2: on my YouTube channel where I cover this week in 885 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 2: bitcoin and tech, this week in macro, and this week 886 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 2: in geopolitics. It's more like a discipline, so that they 887 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,279 Speaker 2: have to report the time of things I'm following the 888 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 2: money for and you can follow along and I publish 889 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 2: that on Simon Dixon dot com. So that's what I 890 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 2: spend most of my time doing today. 891 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: Awesome. We'll link to all that down below for everybody, 892 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: and if you want to hear more of these pointed conversations, 893 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: drop in the commerce down below. We'll line that up 894 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,399 Speaker 1: and without signing off, Simon, thanks so much, Thank you, Mark,
