1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome back to another episode of The Markma Show, 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: where we're talking about bitcoin each and every week. Of course, 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and the decentralized revolution that 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: we're living through that we're witnessing right now. It's pretty 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: exciting if you step back and just just admire that 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: we are literally witnessing history being written. We're seeing one 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: of the biggest technological revolutions that we will ever witness, 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: that we've ever witnessed. And like I said, a lot, 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: the future of humanity is going to be changed now. 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: I don't say that lightly. As a matter of fact, 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: I was just a guest on one of the biggest 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: bitcoin podcast in and out there. It's called What Bitcoin Did, 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: and I laid down a thesis in about two two 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: and a half hours, which is a lot more than 15 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: I can do with you on my radio here, and 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: I laid out what I'm calling is the battle for 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: the fate of humanity. Wow. That's pretty heavy, isn't it. 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a hyperbole way. I 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: mean that legitimately. I think that's really where we're at, 20 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: and I think bitcoin is the tool that allows us 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 1: to win that battle. For the Fate of Humanity. Again, 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: it's a long interview. It's more than I can go 23 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: over here. But if you just do a quick Google 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: search mark Moss battle for the Fate of Humanity, what 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: Bitcoin did, you will find that interview. But I'm trying 26 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: to fill you in bit by bit each and every week. 27 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: I want this to be the most important, the most 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: profitable point of your week. So make sure to uh 29 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: set I ever set a calendar reminder on your phone 30 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: right now for this channel this time, and join me. Now. 31 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: After I just tell you how big that is, then 32 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go backwards a little bit and I'm gonna 33 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: tell you about the price. Now. I say that reluctantly 34 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: because I do believe the price is a short term distraction. 35 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: The price is a short term distraction. I think it's 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: also what I call the bait and switch. People get 37 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: sucked in um for the price and then they stay 38 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: for everything else that it brings. But let's talk about 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: the price for a minute, because it's all over the 40 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: news this week because the price it's a bitcoin crashed. 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: It crashed this week all the way down to the 42 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: price that it was in October. Oh my gosh, I 43 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: can't believe it. Of course, I'm saying that sarcastically. So 44 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: we're all the way back to where we were about 45 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: October four, which is about two months of games that 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: we kind of wiped off the plate, which sounds bad 47 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: at first, but if we want to put that into perspective, 48 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: March of last year, we're at about thirty five dollars 49 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: and today we're sitting about forty eight thousand dollars. So 50 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: still looking pretty good, but it doesn't really tell the 51 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: whole picture. What really tells a more accurate picture is 52 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: when you look at it, you know, over this longer 53 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: term time frame. And so I think if I explain 54 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: this to you, gets a little bit of perspective. And 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: so we were at you know, as low as like 56 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: thirty now we're at dollars. But the perspective is that 57 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: it ran from that thirty low up to about sixty 58 00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: four thousand dollars in um April of this year. And 59 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: that was a pretty dramatic run. Now, it didn't go 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: up in a straight line, as a matter of fact, UM, 61 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: it ran pretty hot and heavy. UM. In January the 62 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: price dropped about eight percent UM. Then we saw, you know, 63 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: run pretty hot and heavy again until February, and then 64 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: the price dropped another and then it ran pretty hot 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: and heavy until the next month March, where it dropped 66 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: another uh and then it ran pretty hot and heavy 67 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: till the next month where it dropped percent. Are you 68 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: getting the idea every month? And then it ran pretty 69 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: hot and heavy till the next month May eleven, where 70 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: it then dropped forty eight percent. So it got up 71 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: to that high of about sixty four thousand, and then 72 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: it dropped all the way down, all the way down 73 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: to about thirty dollars, and then for about two about 74 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: two and a half months, it sat in what we 75 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: call a range, and basically this range where it just 76 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: basically moved around thirty, you know, thirty five thousand dollars 77 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: for like two months straight. So when it's high up 78 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: as sixty four thousand, all the way down to thirty 79 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 1: thirty five thousand, and just stayed in that thirty range 80 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: for two months, and then it took off again. When 81 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: things build up, when when things consolidate, they start to 82 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: build up energy and it builds for the next blast off. 83 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: So it's kind of like, um, it's kind of like 84 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: if you went out to like, uh, to go to 85 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: go exercise. Hopefully you're doing that if you're not to 86 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: exercise and neone to go walk and uh, if you're walking, 87 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: you could probably walk for a really long time. Right. 88 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: But let's say that you ran, Let's say that you 89 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: um ran at of your max. Well, you could still 90 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: run pretty far, but eventually have to take a break. Well, 91 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: let's say you that you sprinted. Let's say that you 92 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: did it all out, sprint as fast as you could 93 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: possibly go. Well, you couldn't run as far, and then 94 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: you have to take a break. You have to take 95 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: a break and you have to catch your breath before 96 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: you could run again. And that's kind of like the markets. 97 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: When the markets go up at a very slow pace, 98 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: they can do that for a long period of time, 99 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: but when they run super fast and super hard, then 100 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: they have to they have to catch their breath. And 101 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: that's kind of what happened. So then UM we saw 102 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: it was into July July thirty one, UM it started 103 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: taking off again and it went from um from about 104 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: thirty thousand and um at at at the end of July, 105 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: about thirty thousand in July, all the way to sixty 106 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: nine thousand about two. Well, November twelve, that was a 107 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: pretty good run. Now, of course it it had some pullback, 108 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: so we saw um September six, it pulled back and 109 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: then kept going um, you know, and and we saw 110 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: lots of those pullbacks. We saw October ninete it pulled 111 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: back another fifteen percent, but it got up to six 112 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: thousand dollar high and now it's pulling back. But what's 113 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: interesting this time is now it looks like it's consolidating 114 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: around the fifty thousand dollar range. So a couple of 115 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: months ago it consolidated at thirty So year and a 116 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: half ago was three thousand runt to sixty four, and 117 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: then it consolidated around a thirty thousand dollar level. It's 118 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: pretty good then from thirty of last up to sixty nine, 119 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: and it pulled back and now it looks like it's 120 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: consolidated around a fifty dollar level. But you see it's 121 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: the lower I'm sorry, the higher lows, the higher lows. 122 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: That's what we're looking at. If you look at bitcoin 123 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: on a zoomed out chart, you'll see that every year 124 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: since the beginning, for the last twelve years, the lowest 125 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: point of every year, the lowest price of every single 126 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: year has always been higher except for one year, and 127 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: so that's what we're looking for, lower or higher lows, 128 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: and that's what we're doing. So anyway, you know, it's 129 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: down a little bit um, but it looks like it's 130 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: building up steam. As a matter of fact, that I 131 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: was in Miami all last week doing a bunch of 132 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: meetings and recording that show I was just talking about, 133 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: and I was, um blessed to get to go to 134 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: Michael Sailor's house. I went to Michael Sailor's house for 135 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: a barbecue and it was pretty amazing. If have you 136 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: guys have been following bitcoin, then of course he probably 137 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: doesn't need any introduction. If you do need an introduction, 138 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: he's probably one of the smartest guys UM in the 139 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: bitcoin space. He's m I t Um literally an M 140 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: I t Rocket scientist UM. He owns more Bitcoin than 141 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: any other person out there, and he continues to buy. 142 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: And I had got to hang out out of barbecue 143 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: his house. It's pretty cool, and we were talking about 144 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: this specifically, and he basically said the exact same thing 145 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, which is it looks like 146 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: bitcoin is just pulled back. It looks like it's just 147 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: building up some momentum, some some energy, and I expected 148 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: to blast off again and so, um, you know, he's 149 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: on the radio talking to you, but I'm able to 150 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: interpret that for you. So that's kind of where we're 151 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: at with the price. But remember the price is a 152 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: short term distraction. What we're really looking for is two things. One, 153 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: the growth of the network, is the network growing, and 154 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: two is the development on the network growing. Those are 155 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: the two main things that we need to be watching 156 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: out for. And as long as those two things are 157 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: going good, then the price will take care of itself. 158 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: So let's talk about those two things, because there has 159 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: been some massive, massive, massive moves this week that I 160 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: want to explain to you now talking about Michael Sailor 161 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: real quickly back to him. For example, Um, this morning 162 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: he posted on Twitter that he micro Strategy, his company 163 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: purchased an additional one thousand, four hundred and thirty four 164 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: bitcoins for eighty two million dollars in cash at an 165 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: average price of fifty seven thousand dollars per bitcoin. What 166 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: that was As of twelve nine one, they hold over 167 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two thousand bitcoin. Now, you might 168 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: think that bitcoin is a scam. You might think the 169 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: price of bitcoin is too expensive, but I would just 170 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: ask you to check yourself. Are you smarter than Michael Sailor? 171 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Because I know a lot about bitcoin, I know a 172 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: lot about economics, I know a lot about technology. There's 173 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: no way I'm putting myself smarter than him. And he's 174 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: buying at these prices. So I was at his house 175 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: and barbecue. I told you what he said, and this 176 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: is he posted this morning. He just bought another uh 177 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: eight two million dollars worth of bitcoin. But again, the 178 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: prices the distraction. We want to look at the network 179 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: growth and development, and there's been big developments on both 180 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: those fronts. This week. I want to talk to you 181 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: about By the way, you're listening to the Mark Mos Show. 182 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: We're talking about bitcoin, we're talking about cryptocurrency, we're talking 183 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: about the decentralized revolution. I want to tell you about 184 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: why they're growing as fast as they are. What's happening. 185 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: So don't go away, I'm gonna be right back. All right, 186 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back. You are listening to the Mark ma Show 187 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: where we're talking about bitcoin, we're talking about cryptocurrencies, and 188 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: we are talking about the decentralized revolution. Of course, each end, 189 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: every week I'm bringing you the latest information so you 190 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: can participate, so you don't get left out on what 191 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm calling the biggest opportunity that you'll ever see in 192 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: your lifetime, in multiple lifetimes. Now, before the break, we 193 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: were talking about the price UM. The price has created 194 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: all the way back down to where it was in 195 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: October wam wham um. But but it's it's consolidating at 196 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: about a fifty dollar range, where a few months ago 197 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: it can all at a thirty thousand dollar range. That's 198 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: a pretty big difference. Um. I'm pretty happy to see 199 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: a consultation at the fifty range UM. And so that's 200 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: that's one piece of it. But again it's the development 201 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: that the network growth and development that we want to 202 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: be watching. And so there's a lot of things that 203 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: are happening on that front now. When I when we 204 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: go and look back how I talked about how it 205 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: it did get up to sixty had crashed all the 206 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: way down to that thirty thousand dollar range. One of 207 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: the biggest reasons why that happened is that China kicked 208 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: all the bitcoin miners out of their out of their 209 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: country now, Uh, that was one of the big things 210 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: that people would criticize bitcoin for is that, well, you know, 211 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: China controls all the mining. China could take over the 212 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: network if they wanted. And you know, there was a 213 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: little bit of truth to that. I mean, China did 214 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: control over over fifty percent, maybe about sixty percent of 215 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: all the bitcoin mining. And the way that this works 216 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: is that the miners have to achieve consensus. So you 217 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: need over of the network to agree to achieve consensus. UM. 218 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: And so if if potentially six of the miners were 219 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: situated in China, UM, that was a weak point. Now, 220 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: the reality is it's not the miners that control the networks, 221 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: the nodes. However, you know, it's still was somewhat true. UM. 222 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: But earlier this year, China kicked all the bitcoin miners 223 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: out of their country, So we don't want you here anymore. Now. 224 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: I made a video on my YouTube channel called China's 225 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: second fatal Mistake I know about. It's about twenty minute video, 226 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: and I talked about why I think this is their 227 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: second fatal mistake. Maybe I can explain to you on 228 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: the radio at another time. Of course, you can go 229 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: watch that video on my YouTube channel just Mark Moss 230 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: and China second fatal mistake, but they kicked all the 231 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: miners out. And basically it was the biggest attack the 232 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: bitcoin network might have ever seen, where literally over half 233 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: of the network was turned off almost overnight, like literally 234 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: it was it was, it was at attack. It was 235 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: exactly what people's worst fear was happened. And and China 236 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: attack the network, shut all the miners down and kick 237 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: him out of the country. Now, the way that this 238 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: works is that you buy a specially built purpose computer 239 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: that UM puts its processing power, it's hash power onto 240 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: the network and helps secure it. I and that's called 241 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: hash power. That's the power of the network, and it's 242 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: measured in um equa equa hash. All right, that's I'm 243 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: not going to get deep into the technical side, but 244 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: that's that's how it's measured. And we saw that um 245 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: it was at about a hundred and seventy five equa hash. 246 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: That's how that's how many computers were plugged into the 247 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: network and we're processing transactions at the time. Well, when 248 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: China shut all their network down, we saw the network 249 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: the hash rate drop all the way down to eighty 250 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: four eighty four equash so about about in a half. Now, 251 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: the Big Way network didn't skip a beat. As a 252 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: matter of fact, it continued to pump out a block 253 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: by block by block every ten minutes. Now, you know, 254 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: some of the some of the transactions slowed down a 255 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: little bit, maybe you paid a little bit more for 256 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: a transaction, but it continued to work over and over 257 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: and over. However, imagine if a big network like Amazon, 258 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: for example, if half their distribution were shut off overnight, 259 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: how long would it take them to pick up all 260 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: their distribution centers, move them across the world, set back up. 261 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: What type of disruption would happen to the Amazon network? 262 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean to be catastrophic? Right, Well, the Bitcoin network 263 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: didn't skip a beat. And as a matter of fact, 264 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: not only did it not skip a beat, it's now 265 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: back up over where it was pre China crackdown. So 266 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: now we've seen all the hash power coming back. As 267 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, it's increased by a hundred and 268 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: eight percent since June and then and the Bitcoin networks 269 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: is is now performing the seven day ruling average of 270 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: back to a hundred and seventy eight equa hash as 271 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: of Wednesday, So it's right there where it was um, 272 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: and I think that is a testament. I mean, it's 273 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: one of the strong, longest examples that we can see 274 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: of the resiliency of the Bitcoin network. So a lot 275 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: of people can tell you whatever they want about any 276 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: of the other cryptocurrencies, but none of them have been 277 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: tested ever like what the Bitcoin network has done over 278 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: and over and over. So it was the worst attack 279 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: that you could ever see happen, and and and it 280 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: hurt the network. Like I said, it caused the hash 281 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: rate the processing power to drop almost in half. But 282 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: as of this week, it is back. Baby is back. 283 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: And so um, that's what I'm talking about. Is the 284 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: network growing. Yes, we got more miners to come on 285 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: board with more computers with more hash power, and we're 286 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: bigger and stronger than we were before. The network is 287 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: continuing to grow. It's awesome. So that's that's one big 288 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: piece that we want to look at. Another big piece 289 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: that we want to look at is the development on 290 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: the network. What's happening on the development side, And there's 291 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: always big stuff happening there as well. So one of 292 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: the big things that we see is a lot of 293 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: people talk about when is cryptocurrency You're going to have 294 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: more adoption. Or um, you know, cryptocurrency won't take off 295 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: until it's easier to spend, right, Um, I need it 296 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: needs to be easier to make transactions. Or um, when 297 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: can I go to my store? When can I go 298 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: down to the store and spend my cryptocurrency? I hear 299 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: these things all the time, right, Well, those days are coming, 300 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: and they're coming fast and furious. As a matter of fact, 301 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: we saw this week coin base announced So coin Bases 302 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: probably I think it's the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. 303 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: It's a publicly traded company. Um. They announced support for 304 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: hardware wallet's starting with Ledger. So this is pretty cool. Now, 305 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: if you've been tuned in each and every week, you 306 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: hear me talk about security and securing your bitcoin, securing 307 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: your cryptocurrency. Now, the oldest problem that mankind has had 308 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: since the beginning of time, the oldest problem in the 309 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: world is how do I secure my property in a 310 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: way that can't be stolen. Well, bitcoin fixed that problem 311 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: because now I can store my own wealth, I can 312 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: control my bitcoin, I can store my keys in a 313 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: way that's cryptographic, is secured, and nobody can take from me. 314 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: But when I put them onto an exchange like coin 315 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: Base or any of these other ones. I'm losing custody 316 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: of my coins. I'm giving them to coin Base, and 317 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: that creates something called counterparty risk. When I give it 318 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: to them, I might not get it back. Well, that's 319 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: a problem. So I don't like to put my money 320 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: onto exchanges. I've told you some of my some of 321 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: my losses, and some of my losses involved putting my 322 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: money onto exchanges and not being able to get it 323 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: back off again, it's a big risk. It happens to me. 324 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: I've lost a lot of money. I'll tell you more 325 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: about that story when my court case gets finished up 326 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: here in a couple of weeks. Um, that's a big problem. 327 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: And we saw this week that coin Base announced that 328 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: it's going to support crypto hardware wallets starting with Ledger. 329 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: All right, this is a really big deal that's going 330 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: to continue to build the ecosystem. But then there's even 331 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: bigger news, even bigger news that's going to help with 332 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: this problem. Like I said, I, well, can I go 333 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: to a store and buy things with my crypto? Who 334 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: even takes crypto? Right? Well, that got solved as well. 335 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: So I want to tell you about that as well. Remember, 336 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: we don't want to watch the price on a regular basis, 337 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: We want to look at the price on a very 338 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: zoomed out basis. But we do want to watch for 339 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: on a regular basis is the growth of the network 340 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: and the development on the network. And I talked about 341 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: the hashway coming back, and now these two new things 342 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: that coin Base rolled out, I think is going to 343 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: exponentially increase the market share of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Can 344 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: tell you about those two things. By the way, you're 345 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: listening to the Mark Moa Show, and of course we're 346 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: if you're just tuning in. We're talking about bitcoin, we're 347 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: talking about cryptocurrencies. We're talking about the de centralized revolution 348 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: that we are living through that we're witnessing right now. 349 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: But we're talking about the growth of the network and 350 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: how fast these are grow, right, how fast they're going 351 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: to be changing the world, how fast adoption will come. 352 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: Don't go away, I'll be right back. Hey, welcome back. 353 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: You're listening to the markma Show. We're talking about bitcoin, 354 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: we're talking about cryptocurrencies, we're talking about the decentralized revolution. Now, 355 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: before the break, we were talking about kind of what 356 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: I always talk about, which is stop looking at the 357 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: price every day. Uh, anybody's looking at any investment. I 358 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: don't care what investment it is. If you're looking at 359 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: on a daily or a weekly or a monthly basis, 360 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: you're never gonna make it now unless you're a day trader, 361 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: which I don't recommend. But you know, assets, especially ones 362 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: that are are revolutionary, that are new, that are life changing, 363 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: they take time to develop and so you have to 364 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: give them time. So we don't want to look at 365 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: the price on a regular basis. What we do want 366 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: to be watching out for is the news. We do 367 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: want to be looking at the growth of the network 368 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: and the development on the network. Now, I was talking 369 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: about how um the bitcoin price, even though it's a distraction, 370 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: is continuing to go higher. Even though it's down a 371 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: little bit today, it's down at a higher level than 372 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: it was down a few months ago. So that's that's 373 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: called higher lows. That's a good thing. But I was 374 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: talking about and then I was talking abou how the 375 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: hash rate for the bitcoin network has gotten back to 376 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: its previous high before the China ban. That's super super bullish. 377 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: But I was talking about coin base, which is the 378 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: largest exchange, the publicly traded company, and now they want 379 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: to support crypto hardware wallets. So a hardware wallet is 380 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: a device that's like like a little USB drive treasure 381 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: or this one specifically that they started working with. It's 382 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: called Ledger. So it's a little hardware wallet, like a 383 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: little USB device, And what it does is it stores 384 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: my private key. And basically the way that cryptocurrencies work 385 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: is that I could have there's two addresses. There's imagine 386 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: like at high school, Um, you have a locker and 387 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: that locker is like C nineteen and I'm like, hey, 388 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: my my locker C nineteen and goll put this envelope 389 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: in there. So that's my public address, and anybody can 390 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: go put something in my my locker, but I hold 391 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: the private key to open that locker. And that's how 392 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: cryptocurrencies work. So I have a public address, any a 393 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: public address and a big and send money, but I 394 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: hold my private key that allows me to open that 395 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: locker and transfer that money if I want to. And 396 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: so if I have my money on an exchange like 397 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: coin based, then they hold my private key. But if 398 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: I use a wallet like Ledger, then I hold my 399 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: private key and I like to use it in a 400 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: hardware wall like Ledger, because that private key never goes 401 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: onto an internet connected device. It's on this little USB device. 402 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: I plug it into my computer to sign the transaction 403 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: to unlock it, and then I unplug it, so it's 404 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: never sitting on the computer. But the problem with coin 405 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: bases or any exchange is when I give them when 406 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: I when I put my my my assets on there, 407 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm giving them my key and there's a chance I 408 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: don't get them back. Well, coin base now has an 409 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: extension that allows me to connect my Ledger hardware wallet, 410 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: so it allows me to maintain self custody, allows me 411 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: to keep full control over my assets, but still be 412 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: able to exchange them if I want to. And that 413 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: is pretty massive. Now, as I was saying before, the 414 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: the the oldest problem that man kind has had since 415 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: beginn time is how do I secure my assets in 416 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: a way that don't are that that can't be stolen. 417 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: And that's what cryptocurrency, that's what bitcoin solves. But again, 418 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: every time I put them onto an exchange, I lose 419 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: that UM. And so now this is a way where 420 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: I can hold my own private key, UM, I can 421 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: still exchange to have to put it on there, and 422 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: that is pretty amazing. That's the development that we're talking 423 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: about now. This is scheduled to be rolled out in 424 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: the first quarter of two, So don't log into your 425 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: coin basic account when you when you're listening to me 426 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: right now, I expect to have it in there. UM. 427 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: But again, we're trying to pay attention to the development 428 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: that's going on, and this is massive development. Um. Coin 429 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: based claims to have over seventy three million customers globally, 430 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: over ten thousand institutions, over a hundred and eighty five 431 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: thousand application developers. And every time I have to transfer 432 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: my funds on or off of bitcoin or any exchange 433 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: for that matter, there's risk I could put the number 434 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: we're in wrong, a hacker could get it, something could happen. 435 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: And if I never have to give up my private key, 436 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: I can hold it. It's pretty amazing. It's a really 437 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: really big step for someone like coin based to roll out. 438 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm super bullish on it. But that is not all. 439 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: That's not all. There's something even more. By the way, 440 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: if you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark 441 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: Moa show, we're talking about bitcoin. We're talking about cryptocurrencies. 442 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: We're talking about the decentralized revolution. We're talking about how 443 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: the two most important things to watch out for when 444 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: you're listening to the when you're paying attention to bitcoin 445 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: and cryptocurrencies is the growth of the network, the users 446 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: and the development that's happening, and says what we're talking 447 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: about right now, and on top of the coin base 448 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: and the Ledger news, there's something even bigger. And as 449 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: I was saying earlier, one of the big things that 450 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: we hear is when is mass adoption gonna come? Like 451 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: you still can't use cryptocurrencies to buy anything, you know, 452 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: all these things. As a matter of fact, Christine Legarde, 453 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: she's used to be ahead of the the i m F, 454 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: the International Monetary Fund. Now she's head of the ECB, 455 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: the European Central Bank. She went on the news though 456 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: a week a week or two ago, and she said 457 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: cryptocurrencies are not a currency full stop Like okay, like 458 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: so full stop. So that means like what does that mean? 459 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: Full stop? So that means that I can't come back 460 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: with a response I got that is like a mic 461 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: drop or whatever. Anyways, she said cryptocurrencies are not a 462 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: currency full stop well, currency is technically anything that can 463 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: be used as a medium of exchange. A currency could 464 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: be anything that could be used as a medium exchange. 465 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: And you and I, if we're trading goods and services, 466 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: we can decide what we wanted a medium exchange. It's 467 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: not for her to tell us. It's not for anyone 468 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: to tell us. You and I, if we're doing exchange, 469 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: we decide what the medium exchanges. So she said it's 470 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: not a medium exchange, it's not a currency. Well she's wrong, 471 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: because new news came out this week Ledger talking about 472 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: Ledger Steel, they have debuted a new debit card that 473 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: enables users to buy goods and services with their digital assets. 474 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: What you mean, Christine, the Guard is wrong. It is 475 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: it can be used a currency, That's what I'm saying. 476 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: This potentially opens the doors to wider adoption of crypto 477 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: payment services. All right. They're calling this the Crypto Life Card, 478 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: and it was introduced at ledgers UM meeting this week. 479 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: And basically, when you use this Ledger hardware wallet, so again, 480 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: this Harbor wallet stores my key and I have like 481 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: this interface UM that I use it with, and the 482 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: debit card is linked to this interface it's like a 483 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: desktop or mobile application. And then it allows me to 484 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: use this this wallet in this interface to buy um 485 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: or or swap out different cryptocurrencies. And then the card 486 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: UM this this debit card supports you know, it works 487 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: in the ecosystem, and it supports um, bitcoin, ethereum and 488 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: some stable coins all right, and the card holders anyone 489 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: has the card, has the option of instantly converting their 490 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency into fiat for the purpose of spending it, as 491 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: well as obtaining line of credit using your digital assets 492 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: as collateral, so you can keep your bitcoin and then 493 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: if you want to make a purchase, at the point 494 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: of purchasing, can automatically converted into Fiat for me, and 495 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: then I can do that. Also, if I don't want 496 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: to sell my bitcoin, if I don't want to convert 497 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: it over, it will instantly give me a loan against 498 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: my bitcoin ethereum as collateral, which is pretty cool. So 499 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,959 Speaker 1: basically UM, I can just use my debic card any 500 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: where I want, and on top of that, I can 501 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: deposit my paycheck into this and then I can select 502 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: which percentage of my income I want converted into Bitcoin, 503 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: ethereum or stable coins, so I can have my paycheck 504 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: directly deposit in there, and I say I want fIF 505 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: in bitcoin, I want and ethereum and the rest I 506 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: wanted stable coin or whatever. You can automatically do that. 507 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: So my, my, my, I'm getting paid in bitcoin that 508 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: way and direct deposit, and then I have a debit 509 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: card hooked at that, and then I can spend off 510 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: of my bitcoin on my stable coin, or I don't 511 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: have to spend my bitcoin. I can just borrow against 512 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: my bitcoin to spend right on that. So that means 513 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: I can go to any store anywhere that the visa 514 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: card has accepted, which is pretty much everywhere in the world, 515 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: and I can spend directly from my bitcoin. So wait, wait, 516 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: Christine the guard said it's not a currency, Well I 517 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: share as he can use it now for buying anything 518 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: I want. So all those people that are telling you 519 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: it's never going to achieve any market penetration, never gonna 520 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: achieve adoption because you can't go buy stuff with it, 521 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: well they're wrong. Um. This card is set to launch 522 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: in the first quarter of two So if you're in 523 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: the United States, Um, actually that's going out to the UK, France, 524 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: and Germany first, and then it's gonna have a second 525 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: quarter rollout in the United States. UM, so look forward 526 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: to the the second quarter of next year in the United States. 527 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: But there's there's This is just from Ledger. There's plenty 528 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: of other ones that are available. This is not the 529 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: this is not the only one that's available. It was 530 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: just big news that was out this week that I 531 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: thought we would talk about, because remember, the two most 532 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: important things to pay attention to our the growth of 533 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: the network, how many users are using it, and the 534 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: development and I think this handles both of those at 535 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: the exact same time. Um, these payments are going to 536 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: be a huge use case. You're listening to the Marketma Show. 537 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: We're talking about bitcoin. We're talking about cryptocurrencies. We're talking 538 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: about this decentralized revolution. We're literally witnessing history being made 539 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: right now.

We're talking about cryptocurrencies. 544 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: We're talking about the decentralized revolution that we're all living through. 545 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: We're all witnessing in real time. It's the biggest opportunity 546 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: you'll ever have in your life, that it's the biggest 547 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: opportunity you will have in multiple lifetimes. And the way 548 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: that you participate in these opportunities is by having information 549 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: that most people don't have, which is I'm trying to 550 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: bring to you each and every week. I'm trying to 551 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: give you the education that you need to learn how 552 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: to navigate. I'm trying to give you the news that 553 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: you need to stay on top of it. And of 554 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: course I'm trying to make it fun. I'm trying to 555 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: make it entertaining. I'm trying to bring you some of 556 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: the best guests, some of the best experts in the 557 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: world to give you even more perspective. And you know, 558 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: so you don't get bored up here in my voice 559 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: all the time. But you know, we've been talking about 560 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: the growth of the network, the development on the network, 561 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: and some things that have been happening. Um, we talked 562 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: about that before the break. We talked about how we're 563 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: about to see some massive adoption. We're one of the 564 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: biggest things, the biggest objections that people have to say 565 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: is that, um, you know, you can't use bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. 566 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: I can't use it to buy anything, no stores take it. 567 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. Well, Um, what I was 568 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: talking about before the break is how um a new 569 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: debit card is coming out where I can have I 570 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: can choose to have my paycheck deposited directly deposited into 571 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: my crypto account. I can decide how much I want 572 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: to go into bitcoin, how much into ethereum, how much 573 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: in the stable cooin, etcetera. And then I can use 574 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: my visa debit card anywhere that visas accepted and spend 575 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: right off my cryptocurrencies. And so that big objection that 576 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: everybody says, that's gone. And I think this is gonna 577 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: be huge for the adoption of the space, which is 578 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: pretty cool. Now, there is one big problem with this, 579 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: which you don't hear talked about very often, but I'm 580 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,719 Speaker 1: was going to give it to you straight here, and 581 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: that is that people say that, oh, yeah, the government's 582 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: just going to regulate cryptocurrencies, and my response to that 583 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: is yeah, they are. As a matter of fact, cryptocurrencies. 584 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: Bitcoin is the most regulated asset there is already. It's 585 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: already all right, Um, the I R S ruled in 586 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: that bitcoin is considered property and that they tax it 587 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: like property. So that means that the that means that 588 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: the I r S taxes bitcoin directly like they would 589 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: tax stocks or gold or real estate or anything else 590 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: like that. UM, and so they're already regulating it. And 591 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: so the problem with spending your cryptocurrency, your bitcoin or 592 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: another cryptocurrency is that, because it's property, anytime you sell 593 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: that cryptocurrency, it's a taxable event. And so if you're 594 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: gonna go buy a cup of coffee for two bucks 595 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: or five bucks or however much that a lot take 596 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 1: costs these days, that's a taxable event. And do you 597 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: really want to go create all these little taxable events 598 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: for all these little micro purchases and then have to 599 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: deal with all that paperwork and have your account and 600 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: deal with all that. For me, I say no. So 601 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: while it's cool that I can go spend my crypto 602 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: on anything that I want, UM, I don't really want 603 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: to do that. I think. I think for me, I 604 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: like to spend my feat and then I'll save my cryptocurrency. 605 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: So that's kind of the way that I focus on that. 606 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: UM and some other big news that happened this week 607 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 1: that I think is important. I've been I've been hit 608 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: up a bunch on this information, so I thought I 609 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: talked about it real quickly. Is that, you know, there's 610 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: this mysterious inventor of cryptocurrency and a lot of people 611 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: don't know who it is. Who is the inventor of bitcoin? 612 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: And they say, you know, who is the Setoshi Nakamoto? 613 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: And until we can figure out who the Toshi guy is, 614 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: I can't trust it. And to that I would say, well, 615 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: can you tell me who the developer of the t 616 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: c P i P protocol is that the entire Internet 617 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: is built off of. Can you tell me the name 618 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: of the top two engineers that worked on the Google 619 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: search engine that you use every day? And of course, 620 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: can you tell me who invented you know and whatever? 621 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: And of course the answer is no. And so I 622 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: would say to that it doesn't really matter. But there's 623 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: somebody by the name of Craig Right, who I hate 624 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: to even mention because he's such a scammer and a fraudster, 625 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: but he's been going around to everybody. He's Satoshi Nakamoto, 626 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: he is the rightful owner of bitcoin, and um, all 627 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: these things right and Um, it's pretty ridiculous in my mind. Um, 628 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: if you look at all the things that Setoshi Nakamoto said, so, Um, 629 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: there was tons of message boards and and things. There's 630 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: actually something called the Book of Satoshi where they've collected 631 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: all the contributions to the message boards that he made 632 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: of these things and they put it into a book. 633 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: And if you look at the things that he said, 634 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: the things that he did, Um, and now you look 635 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: at this guy Craig right, clearly not the same person. 636 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: So Nakamoto created the greatest um technological achievement in the 637 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: history of the world, has created a massive amounts of 638 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: wealth and gave it away for free. Gave it away 639 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: for free. This guy is trying to claim that he 640 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: is that guy and uh and take it over and 641 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: take control over it. So so Toca Nakamoto created something open, decentralized, 642 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: something that nobody can control, and gave it away for free. 643 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: This guy is trying to pretend that he owns it 644 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: and he wants to take it over and control it. 645 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: I think that pretty much goes against everything that it 646 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: was started for. But this week, the reason why I 647 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: bring it up is this week there was a big 648 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: case in Florida where um, basically, um, this guy Craig Right, 649 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: and he had another partner and Dave Kleiman and Dave 650 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: Climon is now deceased, but his family was going after 651 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: Craig Right and saying that Craig Right owes him a 652 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: bunch of money that he never paid him, and this 653 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: and that, and Craig Right it's like, no, that's not true, 654 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: and sitting with this his big battle. So Craig Right 655 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: is fighting a bunch of lawsuits all over the place. 656 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: He's he's fighting lawsuits. Um, And I think at the 657 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: end of the day, in my opinion, the reason why 658 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: he's doing this is that Bitcoin. I talked about this before, 659 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: but Bitcoin was forked in two thousand seventeen, and so 660 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: they made a copy of the database and they created 661 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: bitcoin cash. And if if when Bitcoin was forked into 662 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: bitcoin cash, anybody that owned Bitcoin now owned one Bitcoin 663 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: and one bitcoin cash token. And then when bitcoin cash 664 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: was forked eventually to bitcoin SV, anyone who owned one 665 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: bitcoin cash got one Bitcoin SV. Well, Craig Right was 666 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: one of the founders of bitcoin SV and the original 667 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,239 Speaker 1: tokens that were locked up from Setoshi Nakamoto that are 668 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: worth hundreds of billions of dollars um that those tokens 669 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: have never been used. Those tokens have never been moved 670 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: because to Toshi is gone, he's disappeared. Nobody has access 671 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: to that. Those keys are lost, and so of course 672 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: everybody says, hey, Craig, right, if you're really a Tocian Lacamoto, 673 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: then where's your keys? Sign a transaction, prove that you 674 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: prove that, you prove that you are him. If if 675 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: you're really him, then you can sign the transaction right, 676 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: prove it. And of course he can't do that. But 677 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: I think what happens is um I talked about in 678 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: a previous episode how these smaller chains, smaller blockchains, they 679 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: can be easily taken over if you just get enough 680 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: hash power, and when you take over the network to 681 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: take over the blockchain, you can roll back transactions. And 682 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: I think what he's trying to do. And this is 683 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: shout out to Stacy Herbert from from Orange Bill Pod 684 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: with Max Kaiser. She's the one that gave me this thesis. 685 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: But I agree with her, and I think what's happening 686 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: is if he can prove that he is actually or 687 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: if a court would say that he is a Tocian Kamoto. Um, 688 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: then he might have the legal grounds to roll back 689 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: the bitcoin SV chains. The bitcoin SV chain is so 690 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: small that with just a little bit of hash power, 691 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: you can roll it backwards, and he could gain access 692 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: to all those coins that were created because of the 693 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: fork of the fork. Now if he did that now 694 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: without any legal president, without the courts agreeing to that, 695 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: of course, anybody that holds the big WINSV is going 696 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: to sue him to eternity. But if he can get 697 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: the courts to agree, oh yeah, I think, yeah, you 698 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: probably are Statocian Kamoto, then he could prove a legal 699 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: claim as to why he should be allowed to do that, 700 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: and then he could get access to all those tokens, 701 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: which could be billions of dollars. I think that's his 702 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: master plan. But anyway, back to the story at hand. 703 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: So this week, um, this, this, this went to court 704 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: and uh in Florida, the judge declared that uh, um no, uh, 705 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't he doesn't win this case. The case didn't question, 706 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: didn't even consider the question of Satoshi's real identity, and 707 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: the plaintiff, Ira climon Um was suing on behalf of 708 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: the brother Dave climbing and basically said that. Um, the 709 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: court said, know right, you're a fraud, and as a 710 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: matter of fact, you owe Climbing now a hundred million dollars. Um, 711 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: you know, for all the problems that you've caused for them. 712 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 1: So the judge actually ruled that this guy, Craig Right, 713 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: owes the climbing family a hundred million dollars. And now 714 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,399 Speaker 1: Setoshi Nakamoto, I'm sorry, Craig Right, pretending to be Stoshi, 715 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: is now coming out saying this was a big success 716 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: for me. Um, this was great. Um, wait a minute, 717 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: didn't she just get ordered to pay a hundred million dollars? 718 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: But he says, no, this is great because they didn't 719 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: say that I wasn't Setoshi Nakamoto. So his his scam 720 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: continues on. UM, I bring this to light only because 721 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: people have asked me about it. I just want you 722 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: to be aware that this is just a big scam 723 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: and I would ignore it from that point forward. UM. 724 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: So that's the news that we have for the week. 725 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Mark Moa show. We're talking about bitcoin, 726 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: we're talking about cryptocurrencies, we're talking about the decentralized revolution. Um, 727 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm here with you each and every week. Thanks so 728 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: much for listening,
