And one story 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.320 in particular had caught my eye. I'm not sure if 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.440 you saw it or not, but um, it's a story 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.799 about Kanye West.

Did you see that. Yeah, 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.520 I remember how she made her bitcoin insurance and then 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.480 it was all just a segue to n f T hood. Yeah, 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.040 And so like everybody's jumping on the bandwagon. Tom Brady 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:39.600 came into bitcoin.

I guess if you want on 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.040 that art. Um, but I saw Kanye West came out 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.680 and he said, quote, my focus is on building real 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:13.839 products in the real world end quote, which was pretty cool, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.560 I thought, because you know, basically we have this uh metaverse, metaverse, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.760 metaverse we have you know, Facebook changed his name to 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.560 the meta and uh, everything's in the meta We've seen 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.120 Adidas and under arm are these big brands are starting 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.919 to build out in the metaverse. Everybody wants to push 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.560 us into this world where we live under virtual reality. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.640 UM and Kanye as a I think you call him 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:43.280 easy Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, so he said he put 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.840 this on I think on Twitter or Instagram and here 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.080 here's the full the full thing. He said, UM quote, 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.160 stop asking me to do n f T s. I'm 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.640 not finn a co sign So that I believe that 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:02.640 was in response to he us um filmed talking to 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:07.480 a paparazzi basically pitching them on the idea of cooperating 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:12.600 with celebrities UM as far as using the paparazzi footage 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.200 to sell n f T is because he's like, you 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.479 guys just harass us. Why would we Why don't we 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.479 find a way to be more cooperative? And then he 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.599 said something and about you know, like an n f 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.560 T type of thing. So so a paparazzi was like 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.599 trying to take photos or videos and then said something 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.719 like maybe propositioned them, like, hey, you could turn some 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.720 of this into an n f T or something like that. Well, 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.160 celebrities still want to have a good pr relationships with 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.320 even you know, these people that come and photograph them 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.240 against their will at the airport, that type of things. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.800 So he's been having He's been recorded having some rather 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.960 interesting types of conversations with people. I don't know if 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.719 you saw the one about Kanye West where um, the 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.200 paparazzi was going to get his his car toad outside 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.440 and so he was trying to tell the partner to 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.520 the the to the to paparazzi. So the other one, hey, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.680 like he's rolling, why don't you go save his car? 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.600 And but they don't have any cooperative type of elements. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.400 So he's always like guiding and instructing people in these 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.960 strange situations. Okay, yeah, so thanks for providing that context 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.159 because I didn't know, but I guess it was the 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.279 second part that I that kind of caught my eye, 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:18.240 and he said, I'm not Finna co sign dot dot 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.920 dot for now. I'm not on that wave. I make 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:27.240 music and products in the real world, and um, yeah, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.480 I don't know, it's just uh, I liked it. I 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.120 thought it was refreshing. Um, everyone's trying to make all 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.120 this virtual stuff, but like we still live in the 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.000 real world. It aligns with his usual takes these days, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:45.320 which are always quite refreshing for somebody and entertainment. Yeah. So, um, 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.960 I mean, and it's interesting because you know, we see 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.200 all these celebrities who have cashed in on this big time, 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.960 um Justin Bieber as a whole collection of n f 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.600 T s. Um we say, uh, like I said, Paris Hilton, Um, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.159 even Jimmy Fallon from TV has n f T s 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.520 that he's purchased. Everyone's kind of in his whole board 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.560 ape club, these apes or whatever. And so I guess 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.960 Easy has enough money or ye, I guess he's got 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.320 enough money. He doesn't need to do it. But like 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:15.479 I said, I thought I was I thought it was 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.600 just cool, just pushing back on this virtual world versus this, um, 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.120 you know, the real world anyway, which of course he 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.680 does is branding. Is all these you know, products like 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.840 shoes and clothing that type of thing. Yeah, yeah, and 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.360 I guess those are the real products in the real world. Yeah, 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.480 And I think that's what a lot of people are 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:38.800 missing in this where it's like we still need real products, 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.680 Like we still need shoes to wear. And that's cool 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.840 that Nike is gonna make them in the meta and 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.760 you can have virtual ones, but we still need real 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.320 shoes to put on our feet as well well. And 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.000 and Kanye is so profitable, um, through all his endeavors 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.320 that now he can sit back and solve problems that 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.719 he has a personal interest in and ignore the things, 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.520 the money making endeavors that don't really speak to him personally. Uh. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.480 And that's just a testament to the power of success. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.680 Now I know you're like a psych major or something 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.000 like that. Yeah, I have an underground in psych, a 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.440 self practicing psych psych major or something like that. Uh. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.840 And and and easy somebody who you followed. Uh, he 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.320 might be a little crazy, Um this part of his 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.720 kind of psyche. He just like doesn't want to play 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.400 with that kind of stuff. Or do you think he's 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.280 really like trying to do big things, good things? I mean, 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.720 like in his talk about getting into politics and stuff 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.120 like that. I think he'll definitely end up doing the 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.160 n f T he's just saying for right now, that's 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.440 not at all my focus. He did, he did put 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.600 that word in there like for now. Yeah, yeah, of 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.720 course it's because, like I said, that was in response 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:49.520 to when he was on record, um talking about how 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.400 to update the paparazzi situation. So I think it was 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.320 in response to that, because then people had a bunch 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.040 of questions about n f T s when when he 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.760 said that on you know, and he gets put in 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.920 TNZ or whatever. Yeah. Hum. As a creator yourself, how 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.840 do you think about n f T S. Well, I 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.160 think to a large degree there um inevitable. There's enough 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.520 people that have forced behind it that it's it's going 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:18.520 to be something that it is a tool of a 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.760 tool that the state would like to see as far 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.320 as pushing people into a digital realm. So n f 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.040 T s are here to stay, I believe. Could you 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.240 just sub out the word n f T for a 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.280 collectible I mean that's what they are, right, I mean, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.679 it's a whether I buy a stamp or I buy 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.120 a coin. They're both different, but they both represent a 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.840 collectible item. And so now one's a digital, one's a 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.920 paper that has sticky on the back, and one's a 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:44.920 metal one. And now one's a digital one, but they're 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.240 all three collectible. They're just trying to throw the full 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:52.760 force of celebrityhood behind um a new domain where people 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.160 aren't going to be putting strain on the physical world 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.280 as far as producing more. How many pairs of shoes 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:00.800 can you wear it once? How many houses can you 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.400 own and live in? Well, we got so much money 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.240 when also just throw it away and by whatever we can. 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:06.520 By the way, you're listening to the Mark Moa Show. 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:11.200 We're talking about bitcoin, cryptocurrencies in the decentralized revolution. We 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.880 are talking about some of the latest breaking news in 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.440 the space. Right now. I'm in the studio with Jessica Vaughan. 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.560 You can find her at Jessica Vaughan. UM. We are 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.920 we're talking about Kanye and his take on n f 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.080 T S. I got more coming up in a second, 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.200 so don't go away, all right, Welcome back. You are 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.400 listening to the Mark Moss Show, and we are talking 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:35.120 about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the decentralized revolution that is happening. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.440 I'm in the studio with Jessica Vaughan and we are 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.640 talking about some of the latest breaking news of the 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.200 week and before the break, we were talking about what 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.000 Kanye West had to say about n f T S. 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.320 He said he wants to focus on building real world 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.120 products right now now. During the break, I was just 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.280 uh notified by my sound engineer and Jessica that I 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.440 was butchering his name. It's not Yea, it's ye So 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.319 uh now I don't look as old and out of 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:08.040 loop actually like Kanye's just without the con and then 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:12.640 in the beginning, all right, yeah, you call me Kanye 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.920 will know, Okay, it's not it's a Kanye got it, 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.240 got it, got it. That's that's how I remember trying 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.880 to I'm trying to correct it and make my sound 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.719 myself even look worse. Jeez. Anyway, um No, something else 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.280 that I saw this week I thought it was pretty 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.560 cool is that bitcoin. A lot of people think that 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.439 bitcoin doesn't have any use case. What's interesting with bitcoin 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.240 is that, um, bitcoin is really good for people on 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.040 the edges, not so much for people in the middle. 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.640 So what do I mean by that? So if you're 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.280 like a billionaire and you want to move major amounts 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.520 of money around, well, bitcoin is really cool because I 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.400 could send a billion dollars or a million dollars or 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.320 a hundred thousand dollars from my bed, in my underwear, 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.160 from my phone and you could have it instantly. So 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:57.840 if I want to move big amounts of money, if 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.320 I'm like a power user, there's a big use case 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.480 for that. Or if I'm on the the opposite end, 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.840 and let's say that I'm marginalized, I'm in El Salvador, 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.800 I'm in Afghanistan, I'm in Lebanon, where my money is 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.679 basically being I don't know if you saw what happened 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.520 in Lebanon this week. I know you're part Lebanese, but 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.959 basically they just seized everybody's money in the bank and 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.800 they're going to pay them back with a different currency 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.760 that's worth less um and So if you're in one 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.200 of those areas of the market, then having the ability 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.360 to get your money out is also good. But people 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.360 in the middle class, what do they care about bitcoin? Right? 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.679 And so they say bitcoin has no use case. My 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.280 dollars work pretty fine, um and and uh, that's starting 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.040 to change because those people in the middle now are 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:42.480 trading options on robin hood um and cryptocurrencies. They're starting 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.400 to see it. And then also people are being pushed 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.800 from the middle to the fringes as well. And that's 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.200 the story that has been I talked about it last 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.520 week as well. But this is the trucker convoy that's 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.280 going on in Canada. And so these people, truck drivers 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:01.000 Middle America, you know, blue collar. Um, most people just 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:05.400 want to be left alone. Probably right, Um, you're from Kansas, 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.680 you're from Middle America. I'm sure you've seen those truck drivers, right, 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.880 I mean, they're just blue collar workers and uh, they've 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.079 been pushed to the fringe. And so basically in Canada, 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.600 they've been told that they have to comply with mandates 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:22.000 or lose their jobs, can't feed their family, and they 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:26.679 went to block the roads and in order to help, 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.160 people have been showing their support and they've been giving 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.760 them money via go fund me. It's been so beautiful 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.199 to watch the support from the free world. Yeah, it's 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:39.520 been amazing to watch. And they've raised over ten million dollars, 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:44.480 which is amazing, which in comparison, Trudeau's campaign has raised 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.680 like three million in the first quarter of the year. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.600 So Trudeau is like, ah, they're a fringe, you know, 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:55.320 they don't represent Canadians, um, But they have raised that 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.360 ten million dollars is more than every other political party 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:03.319 in Canada combined, so it's not just a fringe. But 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.920 then the two things happened. One go fund Me has 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.040 now locked up the funds and they won't release them. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:15.440 And two um, the state of Ottawa has now as 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.400 now trying to make a move where they could maybe 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.120 seize the money. They're trying to angle where they could 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.480 actually like somehow I don't know, it's an oxymoron to say, 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.360 but legally take the money. I guess, well, if they 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.200 just call it a tax a hundred percent, then then 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.440 the government can do whatever they want with it. Well, know, 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.920 what these people are doing is illegal, and so we'll 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.120 just we'll just yeah, we'll just whatever. They just make 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.760 up some arbitrary thing and it's legal and we take it. Um. 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.720 The reason why I bring that up is because these 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.160 people in the middle middle class are being pushed to 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:48.319 the fringe. And now there's a use case for bitcoin, right, 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.800 and so it's it's it's for the people on the edge, 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.800 is not the middle, but the middle are being either 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.440 upgrading and becoming power users, or they're being pushed to 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.560 the fringe, which is what happened to these truck drivers. Well, 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.840 and there's such a wealth transfer right now, you know 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.640 COVID response forward till now, So more people are going 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:08.000 to see the use of bitcoin as they get poorer. Unfortunately. Yeah, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.760 I mean small businesses are shuttered. If these guys had 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.360 put up a go fund me and collected money in bitcoin, 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.800 then it couldn't have been held, nor could the state 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.600 be threatening to seize that money. Yeah, getting some real 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.240 world education as to why you need bitcoin. Yeah, I 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.000 was talking. I went and spoke at this real estate 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.080 conference I think two weeks ago, a couple of weeks ago, 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.480 and uh, I met some some guy was on a 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.640 panel with and he was older than me. And uh, 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.040 he's like, oh, I know everything. I'm a what do 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.840 you say, I'm a I'm a computer engineer, I know everything, 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.960 blah blah blah. And bitcoin is worthless. All it is 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.240 is used for drug dealers and criminals. There's no use case, 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.320 as we told me. And I say, but doesn't that 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:54.320 prove the use case a criminal as anyone that the 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.760 government doesn't like, whoever they don't give a license to. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.240 And uh, there were nothing wrong with driving a truck 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.360 and parking it, but now they don't like where you 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.040 park the truck, and now that's the crime, and so 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.680 now you're a criminal, and now they want to seize 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.320 your money. And now bitcoin has a use case well, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.280 and the government is making criminals out of everyday people 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.320 more every day, so of course more people should be 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.960 seeing the use case for a bitcoin. Now. To be clear, 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.440 I don't like to align myself with any political party. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:22.960 I'm for the party that gives me more freedom and 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.320 less government, whatever that is, whatever that means to you. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.160 I'm not trying to make this into a political thing. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.960 But what I do like is that, Um, we vote 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.560 with our money and so that's that's the ultimate vote 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.600 we have. UM. I think after the last presidential election cycle, 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.920 we can see that our vote means little to nothing 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:43.880 at this point. Um, but making yourself heard still means 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.320 something which the truck drivers have done, but even more 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.720 importantly than making themselves known, because, like I said, as 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.160 Trudeau is like, oh, they don't represent Canadians, they represent 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.720 a fringe. How do we know. How do we know 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.360 if that's true or not? How do we know if 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.080 not more Canadians? Are they going to run poll? Are 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.120 they going to go vote? No? But they did. They 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:09.360 raised money, and they raised three dollars to everyone that 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.000 Trudeau raised. Isn't that beautiful? How do they deny that? 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.560 If the mainstream media doesn't want to cover it, that's fine, 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.120 we'll cover it. Yeah, And so I just how do 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.920 the people get hurt? How is the voice of the 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.000 people to be known? Um? If we don't have a 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.200 free and fair election, if mainstream media doesn't give us 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.200 free information, how do we know? Well, we know through 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.320 a free market. And now these people can vote with 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.080 their dollars. Well, they voted with their dollars, and how 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.480 those dollars are going to be stolen? I really hope 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.560 that gets resolved in a favorable way. Yeah, I do too, 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.920 And hopefully if enough people like us are talking about it, 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:49.440 that brings enough attention and pressure onto um go fund 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:50.920 me and maybe able to do the right thing there. 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.680 But my point is is that going to the polls 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.800 and voting doesn't matter. Trudeau says they're a fringe. We 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.600 don't know, Um, that's what he says. I don't know 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.240 how he is that he doesn't. Obviously, no one's going 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.080 to run in a poll door to door finding out. 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.040 But what we do know is that three to one. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.119 They've outraised him. They voted with their money, but they 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.480 voted with the wrong money, right, they voted with the 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.640 wrong money. So now they can vote with bitcoin. They should. 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:20.479 And actually I've seen some bitcoin um funds have been started. Um, 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.560 two of my really good friends, Greg Fosse and Jeff 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.920 Booth have started up a bitcoin fund that's on a 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:30.040 multi signature setup, which means, um, three people have keys, 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.280 so not one person could you know, run away with 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:36.119 the money or anything like that. Um, they're good Canadian dudes. UM. 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.840 You're listening to the markma Show and we're talking about 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.040 some of the latest breaking news in the bitcoin space 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:45.119 that's going on right now. UM, trying to help you, 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:46.840 you know, trying to bring some context into what's going 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.840 on in this world today and trying to show you 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.600 how bitcoin can fix this. Which is kind of a joke, 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.639 but it's actually kind of true. I'm in the studio 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.359 with Jessica Van discussing these some really big stories coming 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.639 back stick around, don't go away, all right, welcome back. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.600 You are listening to the Mark Mos Show, and we're 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.480 talking about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the decentralized Revolution. That's 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.880 happening right now. I'm bringing you the latest breaking news, 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.280 so you're up to date, up to the minute date, 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.239 you know. I want you to understand the play by 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.320 play so you don't get faked out of these markets. 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.040 And I also want to make you seem really smart 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.840 when you go to that party over the weekend and 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.160 you know everything that's going on. I'm in the studio 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:28.840 with Jessica Van Uh and we are discussing some of 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.800 these news headlines and Uh. During the break, they're still 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.080 giving me a hard time because I don't know who 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.520 Kanye West is or what is abbreviation his name is. 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.000 It's it's yea, not ye Sorry about that, um, but 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:41.520 they said, hey, that's a good thing because you probably 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.480 don't want to get your financial advice from somebody who 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:45.760 um knows how to pronounce his name. So I'm gonna 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:47.679 go with that. That makes me feel better, you know 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.800 the real answer is that, um man, I've always been 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.919 into music, like big time. I love music, um, But 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:55.960 over the over the last several years, it's like I 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.719 just listen to my podcast now, like podcasts and audiobooks. 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.480 Remember as a kid driving around with my parents and 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.960 my dad always listened to talk radio, and I hated it. 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.560 It's like so boring. Yeah, I remember as a kid 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.639 to all the am talk radio and all the white noise. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.399 Yeah yeah, I hated the talk radio. It's just so boring. 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:16.000 And now here I am, uh doing talk radio. Everybody 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.840 grows up. Now now I'm doing talk radio. But hopefully 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:20.720 I'm not so bored. I'm trying to make it an 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.280 interesting even if I don't know who how to pronounce you. Ah. 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:30.400 But but back to uh, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. You know, uh, 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.360 if you're new, I can see it's a little depressing. 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.320 The price of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are down, big, down, 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:38.879 big time. As a matter of fact, the peak was 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.000 about November of last year. Bitcoin reached a high of 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.600 sixty nine thousand dollars, and I think at that at 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.800 this time, it's somewhere in the high thirties range, thirty 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.640 seven thirty eight ish or something like that. It's down 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.080 about most of the other big cryptocurrencies are down as 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:00.359 much as it seems like a blood bath. Um. But 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:01.680 you know, I wanted to just kind of bring a 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:05.280 little bit of perspective into that. Um. I saw that 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.639 according to Candice Browne and head of Global Research at 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.360 Bank of America Securities. The number of executives mentioning crypto 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:18.679
