WEBVTT - Is Bitcoin Really Safe For Your Wealth? | Garrett "GMONEY" 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.360 When you have five hundred people making the decisions for 0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:05.800 three hundred million people across the entire United States, there's 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.560 cultures that are affected in way different ways. Bitcoin allows 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.640 individuals to not only protect their livelihood and their energy, 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:12.920 but at the end of the day, they're able to 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.239 protect their culture. Everybody gets to keep their culture without 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:17.759 having to go to war with each other. The other 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:19.240 people want to do what they want to do. You know, 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:21.079 live and let live, let them, let them do what 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:22.560 they want to do. But right now you're forced. 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:24.840 Russia found out the hard way that they could just 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.880 lose all their money at one time. But when I 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:29.960 can hold my wealth in a way they can't just 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.720 confiscate and steal at the click of a button, then 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.720 it changes the balance of power. And when it changes 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.000 the balance of power, then what starts to happen. 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.320 I like to literally think of bitcoin as a weapon, 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.640 as like the perfect weapon for humanity, because if you 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.120 think of military taxes, these people are going to come 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.360 and kill you, They're going to come and steal all 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.400 of your energy. But there is this technology over here 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.040 that you as the individual, can pick up store your 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.240 own well self custodial bitcoin, and you can just opt out. 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.520 You can still continue to watch your football drink bears. 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.840 You can literally arm yourself as a digital citizen in 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.160 a digital sovereign in cyberspace to where you no longer 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.679 allow that enemy to continually exploit you. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.520 If you're falling politics and the election cycle, you better 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.320 realize right now that no one is coming to save you. 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.760 Doesn't really matter who gets into the White House or 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.360 when's the election, doesn't matter what country're in. If you 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.800 want to bring your life forward, you have to focus 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.160 on your own wealth, your own finances, in your own future. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.800 And so I'm gonna sit down today, I'm talking with 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.040 g Money, Garrett from Ruggpole Radio, and we're going to 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.759 talk about a peaceful revolution that's happening that we can 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.160 take part of to protect ourselves and build wealth into 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.440 the future. We're going to go through a couple of 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.080 different frameworks that you can use that's going to move 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.840 your life forward in the fast amount of time possible. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.200 So let's just go ahead and just jump right in 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:52.320 with Garrett. All right, Garrett g Money, there's been an 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.520 interview long time coming for every one that doesn't know. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.160 What's kind of interesting is Garrett I've been friends for 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.160 a long time, well before bitcoin, well before bitcoin, which 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.880 is pretty interesting, and now bitcoin sort of kind of 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.440 brought us back together path crossing. It's kind of cool. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.679 You know, we are recording this on ten thirty one 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.840 before the election. We're not going to get into that stuff, 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.960 but ten thirty one and I want to talk about 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.800 your thesis on digital seventeen seventy six, And something I 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.079 talk a lot about is like cycles and revolutions, and 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.160 obviously that's a revolutionary year two and fifty years ago, 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.840 fifth generation warfare, which I've done videos about how to 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.320 understand what's going on and use that to our advantage 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:35.679 and protect ourselves counterinsurgency. What that means software numerologis is 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.160 a bunch of stuff that we can do, but typically 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.200 or overall, what I want to say is just how 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.480 can we understand the world, what's going on, think about technology, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.600 which is always what changed the world, and think about 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.960 protecting ourselves and you know, thriving even through this. But 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:51.799 I do want to just say, as of today ten 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.560 thirty one, we were talking about the significance of that date, 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.360 which is when Martin Luther nailed a ninety five thesis 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.200 to the Church door about five hundred years ago, and 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.040 that led to a revolution, and it was because technology, 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.919 the printing press had created the Bible, so the technology 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.640 created information, and the information broke the grip of power 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.960 that a central monopoly the church at the time had. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.360 And even though the church labeled people heretics and heresy 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.799 and they killed them, you can't stop a good idea 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.160 whose time has come. And here we are five hundred 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:27.040 years later, and on bitcoin White paper Day, which was 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.480 introduced the same time as that ninety five thesis, we 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.920 see the same thing. So this grip of these central 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.680 power brokers, if you will, you know, the central bankers 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.960 and the governments have this grip over money, but we 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.200 have new technology that's now decentralized, that distributed that and 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.360 no matter how hard they tried to kill people, if 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.400 they find it with it, hopefully it doesn't get to that. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.080 But there's just no way that they can stop that. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.080 That's what history shows us. But I talk about these cycles, 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.840 these two hundred and fifty year political revolution cycles, so 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.040 about every two hundred fifty years we have this big cycle. 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.480 So two hundred fred years ago was the American Revolution 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.040 and the friend revolution at the same time, seventeen seventy six. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.400 So let's talk about that Digital seventeen seventy six. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.440 Yeah, let's let's talk about that. Super excited to be here, 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.320 and yeah, we had we had some fun back before 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:11.840 the bitcoin days. And it's kind of funny how it 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.280 brought us together, being you know, almost neighborly in that effect. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.960 And so, you know, getting back to revolution, getting back 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.520 to this two and fifty year cycles. You know, what 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.520 is digital seventeen seventy six? 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:24.760 Right? 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.960 What is our current form of abstract laws that we 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:29.320 live in? 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:29.680 Okay? 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.520 And I think I like to break it down very 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.920 simply so people can understand it and how we how 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.000 we break through this system? Right, And so let's just 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.720 take the premise that banks control governments and then governments 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.839 control people, Okay. And I think that's a really simple 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.400 baseline for people to understand, because we know, right, our 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.760 politicians to pass a bill, right, to get them to 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.200 actually vote for a bill, what do they do, right, Oh, well, 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.360 let me put in something that's for my district or 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.719 for my district, right, And so what you get is 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.760 you just get this employees of the central bank, right, 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.360 that and basically doing the bidding of you know, shadow government, 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.240 these people that are behind the scenes. And so I 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.960 think a couple of years ago you could have said, 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.280 oh gee, I don't know about this shadow government. These 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.559 people behind the scenes pull levers of power. But I think, 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.839 you know what happened with the pandemic and everything else, 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.760 I think people are a little bit more awakened to 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.960 the corruptness of our institutions, right, of our politicians, a 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.680 big pharma of the military industrial complex. Right, You've got 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.359 all these different things out there, and so we're still 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.920 stuck in this system, right, We're still stuck in bad software. Right, 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.039 and so the government we have now is literally bad 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.240 software because in nineteen thirty three they froze the number 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.800 of congressmen that allowed them to represent us. And so 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.560 what do we get as the population grows, we get 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.640 a dilution of our representation. And so we're like stuck 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.839 in bad software. We're stuck in proof of stake software, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.240 where stakeholders, right, the actual politicians a congressman, senators, and 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.839 president are the stakeholders that make changes to our network. 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.640 They're the ones that can say, hey, guess what we're 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.200 going to get you twenty five percent unrealized gains. There's 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.440 nothing you can do about it. And so we have 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.880 to really like break it down, like what system are 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.359 we living in and what's our solution out of this 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.039 tyranny because we're paying more than fifty percent of our 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.480 of our of our energy and taxes through inflation and taxation, 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:22.200 and inflation at its base level is taxation without representation. Okay, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:27.719 Taxation without representation is illegal. It's it's it's a it's 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.480 repugnant to a free and open American society that we've 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.720 built upon freedom and representation, representative government. And so our 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:40.480 democracy is a shitcoin in its current form, right, Our 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.160 democray is literally it's it's out of touch and it 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.599 needs to be upgraded to the twenty first century. Okay, 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.920 And so here we are. We're gifted with this, this 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.160 beautiful gift from Setociana Kamoto, whoever that entity year people before. 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.960 Before we jump into that, let's just let's just let's 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.640 talk back about the current form of governments have. Then 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.039 we'll talk about solutions and ways we can protect ourselves 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.840 and get ahead in this. I do just want to 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.000 say for everybody you know, I think it's very important 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.720 to understand the problems the attack vectors as I call them, 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.440 so you can understand the solutions. Like if I understand 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:13.880 someone's going to tack me through the front door, I'm 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.440 going to barricade the front door and make sure I 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:16.920 have a back door to get out of. And so 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:18.680 these are not like doom and gloom. But this is 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.920 like things that are going on. But you know, in 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.119 regards to that, something I've talked quite a bit about, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.880 which is that the current form of government that we 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.440 have today that you were just laying out is no 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.480 longer compatible with the world that we live in. And 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.600 so you sort of talk about like the government, the 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.960 forum government that we have today sort of being created 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.640 and frozen in time and maybe intentionally to sort of 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.240 hold us down or keep us trapped in this system, 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.240 if you will. I talk about it in a sense 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:51.800 where technology changes the world and on a two and 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:52.960 a few year time f when we moved from like 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.760 centralization to decentralization. So about two hundred fift years ago 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.680 was the American French Revolution, but it was also the 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.600 industrial Revolution, so we it was the first time we 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.760 really had mechanized machines and we went from like a 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.960 pharma grarran society now to like moving to cities and factories. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.760 Henry Ford nineteen eight created the assembly line, and on 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.840 the assembly line, everybody was equal. So that's what I believe. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.760 Everyone says that we hauled out the middle class by 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.320 sending jobs to China. I don't really believe that's exactly 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.080 the case. Those are low paying jobs. We can just 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.440 put people into the fields picking strawberries as well. What 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.520 happened is on the assembly line, smart people and dumb 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.920 people were equal. So we had this massive middle class 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.280 because all these people did the same thing, just put 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.920 the widget on the line. But what happened is, in 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.280 order to manage the mass production and the masses, we 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.920 had to come up with a management structure to manage 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.360 people like numbers on a spreadsheet, cogs and a wheel. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.960 So then we had mass manufacturing mass management, and then 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.960 we created this mass government to govern the mass management 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.000 of the mass production. But what happened is we left 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.200 the industrial age and now we're in the information age. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.959 So we no longer have these big corporations. There are 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.560 big factories, no longer have those big assembly lines, and 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.080 so now we have small decentralized companies. I have, you know, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:07.840 people working from a laptop anywhere in the world, and 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.160 so to speak, no longer do we have you know, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.320 these five ten thousand and fifty thousand person corporations. I mean, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.800 there's just a few of them out there. But even 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.760 even still, their workforce is decentralized. And so now we 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.800 have this small workforce internet warriors, et cetera all over 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.760 the place, but we still have the government that was 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:30.320 set up to manage mass management, mass production. And I 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.520 see like technology is advanced to the point that we 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.920 don't need that big giant government anymore. I'm curious your 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:35.480 thoughts on that. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.719 Yeah, you're right, right, the gig economy where people can 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.280 just be a little independent, decentralized, little, you know, little 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:42.960 economies of their own and they can go off and 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.880 do whatever they want. And so right, we're stuck in 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.400 that software path, right, We're stuck in an old system, 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.880 so it doesn't scale, it doesn't scale, right. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.840 So it's like the banks are like I heard, the 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.080 banks are still running Cobalts is like a software that 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.880 they set up in the seventies and they haven't started 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.040 using new software. So the government is running the old software. 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:00.600 That's sort of the frame that you're coming Well, yeah, the. 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.959 Framework of you know, the idea of the current government 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.920 we live in four hundred and thirty five Congressman, one 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.920 hundred senators. Right, that's just an abstract concept that someone 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.920 put on a piece of paper, and so who says 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.400 we can't change that at some point? 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:13.319 Right now? 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.280 Obviously, I think there's very important facts of our constitution. Right, 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.520 We've got Bill of Riots, We've got freedoms that other 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.439 countries don't have. And so bitcoin in its purest form 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.560 is like a super constitution, right, First Amendment, second Amendment, 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.719 all these different amendments are built in digitally, and it's 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.079 protected from a wall of energy. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.040 So it's like, how do. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.560 We transition from this old, rotted out colbal banking software 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.920 to like the twenty first century space force and lasers 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.880 and all types of different energies. What's that transition look like? 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.520 And I believe we're in that transition, and bitcoin is 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.440 that bridge that gets us from the old to the new, 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.600 to where we don't have to trust politicians to enact 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.840 things that our dearest to our communities and our culture. 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.679 Because what happens is when you have five hundred people 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.200 making the decisions for three hundred million people across the 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.680 entire you know, United States. There's cultures that are affected 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.120 in way different ways, you know, in each sector of 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.360 those things. And so bitcoin allows individuals to not only 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.920 protect their livelihood and their energy, but at the end 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.240 of the day, they're able to protect their culture. And 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:18.920 you know, I think culture is one of the most 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.679 important facts of this is that everybody gets to keep 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.079 their culture without having to go to war with each 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:28.000 other and causes big uprising of a bloody revolution. Right, 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.480 this is a peaceful revolution. And that's why we call 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.920 it digital seventeen seventy six, because individuals are empowered at 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.480 the most basic level, the economic level. And so what 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:42.160 bitcoin does. It transfers power right from an old, archaic, 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.400 corrupt system into the hands of the individual, right power 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.760 back to the people, because you know, voting for you know, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.000 who's ever going to be president next, isn't just going 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.600 to be like here here's your here's your freedoms back, right, 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.360 Like when is that? When has that ever happened? It's 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.560 never happened, And so no, I think you're right, I 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.200 think you know, bitcoin actually helps lead us into where 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.720 governments just become service providers, right, they've become water power, 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.080 internet at the end of the day. And then you choose, 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.000 right voluntarily, which which pack do you want to be 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:14.240 a part of? Do you want to be packed a 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.800 part of that has purple hair and forced you know, injections, 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.320 or do you want to be over here where. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.920 They eat meat and they you know, they work. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.040 Out every morning, eat meat and the sea. You need 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.360 to choose the culture you want to be part of. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.800 And if if the other people want to do what 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.360 they want to do, you know, live and let live, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.000 let them, let them do what they want to do. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.840 But right now you're forced, you're forced into playing a 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:38.000 set of rules that are frekently frankly against natural law. 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:44.880 They're against the the laws of just of harmonics with 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.480 the universe, I believe, because they're forcing things upon people 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.679 that are unjust right, that are unfair, you know, over 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.000 fifty percent taxation, let's start there, right, And I think 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.079 that's a that's a fact that everybody can agree with. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.480 It doesn't matter what side of the eye you're on. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.000 That is strictly, you know, a complete that's theft at 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.280 it's at its very basic level. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.960 So you talk about like this old system and how 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.640 we can have this digital seventeen seventy six, we can 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.000 sort of have this revolutionary moment without bloodshed, which obviously 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.880 sounds great, a peaceful revolution. But when I think about it, 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.120 I mean, you're talking about being able to protect my property, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.000 so my money, But like, how does that change everything 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:27.040 by changing like incentives or shifting balance of power? I mean, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.840 they the state. They the state has a monopoly on violence. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.319 So being able to hold my money isn't going to 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.040 protect me from a monopoly of violence, is it. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:37.960 Well, I think we need to learn how to how 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.000 do we settle disputes? Okay, like traditional ways, me and 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:42.360 you get in a fight or something, right like oh 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.160 this is my piece of land, this is your peace line, 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:45.720 We go to war, we beat each other up, right, 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.320 and we're like, okay, whoever whoever you know this is 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.680 left alive, takes to the person's land. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:50.959 Right. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.280 That's traditionally how we've settled disputes. Right, And so now 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.560 we're in a way to where do we settle disputes? Well, 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.480 we have to go to a court of law, right 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.760 that we have to then trust that judge isn't corrupt. Right, 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.560 Like any other type of litigation you get in, you 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:10.960 have to then trust another you know, centralized abstract center 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.360 of law that you have to basically like, okay, kind 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.120 of trust this people. You know, you're always extending that 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.679 level of trust. Okay, we mean you make a handshake 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.560 deal right on. Hey, this this thing's worth this amount 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.600 of money. We're going to split the profits of it. 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.560 But if we don't have a way to protect ourselves 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.400 and the thing all of a sudden becomes very valuable, 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.520 be you know what, later, I'm just going to take 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.080 off of it, and there's no recourse at that point. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.000 And so what do we have. 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.680 We have a technology to where individuals, if they're unhappy 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.760 with the current ways things are going, they can literally 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:39.360 just opt out. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:39.760 Right. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.560 And so let's take an example of twenty five percent 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.080 unrealized games. Okay, Kamala comes down, Trump comes down, whoever 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:47.640 it is, right and says, hey, we're going to give 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.640 you a bill. Your bitcoin went up to five hundred 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.080 thousand dollars. We see that you have this much, and 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.080 we're going to tax you twenty five percent, right without 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.160 selling it you can pay. Well, look, I'm not gonna 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.920 I'm not gonna obey. I'm not going to action comply 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.120 with your theft of my energy for no other reason 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.360 than the fact that you have this rank and file 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.080 system and you have a some kind of a special 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.720 you know, gallon or badge or hat that says you 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.320 have special powers over me. And so what you can 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.080 do is you can literally just opt out, and you 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.000 can say no, I'm not going to do that, and 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.840 you can self cuss through a bitcoin. You can walk, 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.880 you know, you can take off to another country if 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.800 you have to. But if you if you keep pulling 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:30.040 this thread, okay, you know, lots of people out there 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.880 over the last you know, five to ten to twenty 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.160 years have slowly been seeing this acceleration of theft of 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.920 their property of the energy to where they're no longer 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.040 like going to accept it. Right, there's a red line, 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.880 I think for a lot of people. And so if 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.240 we keep understanding, hey, how do how do we break 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.640 through the system? What happened in seventeen seventy six, Right, 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.640 they negotiated, they pleaded, they did everything they could to 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.320 avoid conflict with the king, but at the end of 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.120 the day, right, they had to pull their muskets out. 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.240 They actually had to use force right to overcome this 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:07.040 abstract power. And so bitcoin allows us to use force right, 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.600 actual power to settle our disputes and say, you know what, 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.400 We're not going to agree to those terms. So I'm 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.240 going to maybe move to El Salvador. I'm going to 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.240 move to somewhere else that it's more friendly for my energy, 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:18.480 and I can just pick up my energy and take 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.800 off forever I want. And so what's going to happen is, 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.840 at the end of the day, we as a collective, 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:28.760 enough of us can basically DDoS attack their enforcement bureaucracy. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.080 Okay, because if enough of us. 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.200 Say, hey, we're no longer playing or abiding by your 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.240 abstract rules that you just continually make up whenever you want. 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.440 We're not going to file our federal tax returns, We're 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.600 not going to comply with your unrealized taxable gains, they 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.880 simply don't have enough people to imprison all of us, right, 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.240 And so what it was seventeen seventy six, a small 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.400 minority stood up against you know, the tyrants, and you know, 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:59.000 the small toxic minority will change and will force the 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.360 rest of the sheep to actually come over to their side. Now, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.760 not everybody's gonna want to hear this type of stuff, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.960 but we don't need everybody, right, We only need enough 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:12.280 people that reaches that critical mass of their enforcement arm, 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.520 if they even have an enforcement arm, to actually go 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:18.000 after all these individuals that have refused to, you know, 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:19.879 pay the King's tax, right, And I think you know 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.960 a lot of people talk about it. Saylor talks about 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.720 it if you pushed me hard enough, like I lost 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.400 my keys. We talk about voting accidents. And so there's 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:31.320 already this this this quasi narrative going around, and even 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.480 recently Trump has been talking about no taxation. He started 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.240 with no tax on tips, then I went to no 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.480 tax on Social Security, then I went to no tax 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.920 on overtime. And now he's like, hey, no federal income tax. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.159 And so I think what he's doing is he's slowly 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.840 building a narrative that's shifting our Overton window. And to 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:48.440 be like, no, we have to pay tax tax is 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.440 patriotic when at the end of the day, your tax 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.520 money doesn't actually go to any public service good at all. 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.680 If you look up the Grace Commission Report Executive Order 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.520 one two three sixty nine Ronald Reagan found in nineteen 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.000 eighty two that one hundred percent of your tax dollars 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.920 go through go for no public good whatsoever. It actually 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:08.960 most of it goes to pay interest on the debt. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.640 And so if you think about that, we're actually all 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.720 wage slaves and we're stuck in a proof of stake 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.000 network that is not going to allow us to actually 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:22.400 get out of it by compliance, right, and so non 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:26.560 compliance in a parallel economy that allows us to protect 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:32.960 our enemy or energy in a non kinetic way, is 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.160 I believe the way that we win this war, because 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.000 you know, look, I think we've seen the corruption at 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.879 pretty high levels over the last couple of years, and 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:43.560 it doesn't look like they're going to let go of 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.159 that power. It doesn't look like they're going to let 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.480
