The Minerotopia Weekly News segment is sponsored by Wizardswap.io, a non-Custodial cryptocurrency

00:13.490 --> 00:13.890
exchange.

00:15.550 --> 00:15.950
Tony.

00:16.570 --> 00:17.090
Hey guys.

00:18.050 --> 00:18.310
Happy new year.

00:18.310 --> 00:18.470
Happy new year.

00:18.590 --> 00:18.610
What's up?

00:19.350 --> 00:19.990
Hey, good.

00:20.150 --> 00:20.490
How are you guys?

00:22.590 --> 00:23.270
Good, man.

00:23.470 --> 00:23.590
Good.

00:23.730 --> 00:24.130
How you doing?

00:24.870 --> 00:25.190
Good.

00:25.430 --> 00:27.190
I see your bicep veins are popping.

00:28.350 --> 00:28.710
Oh, yeah.

00:28.790 --> 00:29.170
All right.

00:29.270 --> 00:29.790
That's a good sign.

00:31.030 --> 00:32.870
I was listening and I was like, oh, shit.

00:34.510 --> 00:34.910
Yeah.

00:35.130 --> 00:36.210
I don't even do bicep, man.

00:36.430 --> 00:37.690
I don't even do bicep.

00:37.870 --> 00:38.530
Well, I do pull-ups.

00:38.830 --> 00:39.430
I do pull-ups.

00:39.910 --> 00:40.110
Yep.

00:42.290 --> 00:45.210
Yeah, I'm basically a pull-ups and push-ups guy at this point.

00:45.470 --> 00:48.710
I don't really have too much time to hang out in the gym.

00:49.650 --> 00:53.330
I try to do a little short sprints every once in a while.

00:55.330 --> 00:55.910
But yeah, man.

00:56.130 --> 00:57.230
You're pretty fit, dude.

00:57.230 --> 01:00.230
How's your health these days?

01:01.470 --> 01:02.610
Oh, it's good.

01:02.910 --> 01:03.450
You working out?

01:04.030 --> 01:04.650
Yeah, yeah.

01:04.750 --> 01:08.190
I'm still like, this was the first week because I had some long, long injuries that I've been

01:08.190 --> 01:08.570
dealing with.

01:08.770 --> 01:12.930
So this was the first week, which I've been able to actually do push-ups and pull-ups.

01:13.770 --> 01:14.930
What kind of injuries you got?

01:15.750 --> 01:16.650
Oh, like long time.

01:16.970 --> 01:17.330
Deadlifting.

01:18.030 --> 01:18.790
It's just borrowlifting.

01:18.790 --> 01:19.530
Oh, okay.

01:20.050 --> 01:20.230
Yeah.

01:20.630 --> 01:21.190
Like really bad.

01:21.790 --> 01:25.370
And I've been doing ice baths, which helped a lot.

01:25.370 --> 01:27.690
So I go in like five minutes.

01:28.690 --> 01:35.810
And if you just feel good, like zero soreness and mentally, like your dopamine goes up to

01:35.810 --> 01:38.890
100%, four to six hours after you do them.

01:38.890 --> 01:40.350
There's so, so many benefits.

01:40.690 --> 01:42.450
So I highly recommend ice baths to people.

01:42.790 --> 01:45.350
And that'll make you mentally resilient like whenever.

01:45.710 --> 01:46.830
Where are you doing that?

01:46.910 --> 01:50.350
You're doing that at your own place or you're like going to a place to do the ice baths?

01:50.530 --> 01:52.710
I used to buy the ice and do it in my ice bath.

01:52.710 --> 01:53.930
In my top.

01:55.690 --> 01:56.110
Oh my God.

01:56.490 --> 01:57.850
Which becomes a nice stuff.

01:58.250 --> 01:59.410
Which becomes a nice stuff.

02:00.130 --> 02:07.850
But so in Romania, it's cold, but not, they can't stream water so cold because the pipes

02:07.850 --> 02:08.450
are going to freeze.

02:08.990 --> 02:10.010
And in Florida, it's too warm.

02:10.370 --> 02:15.930
So I go to my gym here and it's pretty much like 40 Fahrenheit, almost to the freezing

02:15.930 --> 02:16.330
point.

02:16.590 --> 02:18.550
So it's really, really cold.

02:19.610 --> 02:19.750
Yeah.

02:20.270 --> 02:25.930
I do the cold, I do the cold shower thing or I always end my shower with like as cold

02:25.930 --> 02:26.590
as it can get.

02:26.810 --> 02:29.210
Oh, it's cold in New York.

02:29.210 --> 02:29.770
So yeah.

02:30.450 --> 02:30.870
Yeah.

02:32.150 --> 02:33.810
I would do the ice baths.

02:33.830 --> 02:35.150
I don't know, but they, I don't know.

02:35.230 --> 02:37.350
I think I do feel great.

02:37.570 --> 02:40.850
Like I love, I love jumping into just like the cold sea in the winter.

02:41.210 --> 02:41.510
I'll do that.

02:41.870 --> 02:47.490
Not on a regular basis, but like once or twice during the season.

02:48.190 --> 02:51.630
I'll try to jump into a frigid, frigid waters.

02:52.330 --> 02:53.370
There's nothing better.

02:53.530 --> 02:54.050
Oh my God.

02:54.510 --> 02:55.010
Exactly.

02:56.130 --> 02:56.310
Right.

02:57.170 --> 02:59.950
But it's different than an ice than going in a shower.

03:00.170 --> 03:01.030
It's totally different.

03:01.650 --> 03:02.830
I guess it's really, really cold.

03:02.930 --> 03:07.370
But if you get into an ice bath, which is almost at a point of freezing,

03:08.190 --> 03:15.030
just mentally and, but it has so many benefits like just mentally and

03:15.030 --> 03:15.530
physically.

03:15.530 --> 03:17.370
And again, like you can work out really hard.

03:17.650 --> 03:18.850
Like this, the world's strongest man.

03:19.370 --> 03:22.130
And then I'll end on my, my little rent on ice baths,

03:22.130 --> 03:23.270
but the world's strongest man.

03:23.490 --> 03:25.650
He does ice baths after every single training.

03:26.690 --> 03:27.130
Bjornsson.

03:27.370 --> 03:30.530
If you know him and then he has zero soreness and Larry wheels

03:30.530 --> 03:31.610
and all these guys.

03:32.330 --> 03:32.770
Yeah.

03:33.210 --> 03:35.790
I can really start doing that, but I've also heard like,

03:35.830 --> 03:37.630
like being things though too, right?

03:37.710 --> 03:40.130
Because it just like, I don't know.

03:40.370 --> 03:42.450
It boosts your adrenaline.

03:42.690 --> 03:43.530
Like it feels great.

03:43.530 --> 03:47.450
Like the feeling is like really from kind of an adrenaline rush,

03:48.190 --> 03:52.770
but is it good to like give yourself those adrenaline rushes on a

03:52.770 --> 03:53.470
daily basis?

03:54.270 --> 03:54.570
I don't know.

03:54.930 --> 03:57.670
I could totally, I could totally get into the whole ice bath.

03:58.530 --> 03:59.310
I know.

03:59.570 --> 04:01.930
I'm always, I'm always down for the adrenaline rush.

04:02.750 --> 04:03.910
But yeah, I don't know.

04:04.290 --> 04:04.570
I guess.

04:05.470 --> 04:10.170
It's like they compared like cocaine and stuff like that.

04:10.170 --> 04:16.270
But it's more like, it's not like a surge and then a huge drop,

04:16.430 --> 04:17.330
like a spike in the drop.

04:17.510 --> 04:18.650
It's more like a sustained.

04:20.190 --> 04:20.270
Yeah.

04:21.350 --> 04:24.230
Andrew Huberman did like two hours just on this alone and

04:25.710 --> 04:29.430
yeah, if you can, I think, I think you'd love it for sure.

04:29.570 --> 04:33.150
And just, you just get out and you just feel so clear

04:33.150 --> 04:35.790
mentally and you feel like unstoppable.

04:36.350 --> 04:36.990
It's crazy.

04:37.650 --> 04:41.130
And the sauna too, obviously is a fantastic thing to try to

04:41.130 --> 04:44.470
incorporate in your life for, you know, especially cleansing

04:44.470 --> 04:45.230
yourself, right?

04:45.330 --> 04:46.670
Of like the heavy metals and stuff.

04:47.550 --> 04:49.370
That's kind of one of the ways you can do it.

04:49.590 --> 04:51.630
But, you know, sweat, sweating it out.

04:52.690 --> 04:53.770
I don't do it.

04:54.930 --> 04:55.330
Yeah.

04:55.530 --> 04:58.070
And especially if you're in this fight with Monero and

04:58.070 --> 04:59.710
for freedom, you've got to be strong physically.

05:00.550 --> 05:01.790
Hey, you do, man.

05:02.230 --> 05:02.570
You do.

05:03.370 --> 05:05.830
You got the, you need the, I go around here.

05:05.830 --> 05:09.910
It's the battle of the frickin' century, man.

05:10.630 --> 05:11.050
For sure.

05:11.490 --> 05:16.710
We are up against some, some very strong, powerful, dark

05:17.650 --> 05:20.790
forces that do not want Monero to succeed.

05:21.090 --> 05:24.870
I mean, I am pretty, I'm pretty convinced of that.

05:26.870 --> 05:29.870
But they also, I don't know, some of them maybe do want

05:29.870 --> 05:32.590
it kind of to succeed because they need something they

05:32.590 --> 05:34.810
can use too, to do their, their sketchy stuff.

05:36.110 --> 05:37.490
We got another tip here.

05:38.310 --> 05:39.750
BRJ tipped 50 cents.

05:39.890 --> 05:42.530
Heidi and Tobias crypto tips are constantly giving

05:42.530 --> 05:46.270
shadows to XMR with 224,000 followers.

05:46.450 --> 05:47.090
They might be good people.

05:47.210 --> 05:47.950
Yeah, for sure.

05:48.210 --> 05:50.810
I like messaged with them on Twitter recently.

05:50.810 --> 05:52.010
I said, come on the show.

05:52.210 --> 05:53.690
They were, when they were talking about Monero,

05:53.790 --> 05:55.770
they're like, yeah, but then I don't know,

05:55.790 --> 05:56.190
never happened.

05:58.010 --> 06:00.090
But yeah, it would be better if I went on their

06:00.090 --> 06:00.690
show, right?

06:00.690 --> 06:03.890
Like them coming on my show won't really help Monero.

06:04.050 --> 06:05.910
If I go on their show or, you know,

06:06.050 --> 06:08.070
one of us goes on to their show,

06:08.630 --> 06:10.990
that would be a big help because now we're talking

06:10.990 --> 06:13.010
to their 224,000 followers.

06:14.670 --> 06:17.210
So, yeah, try to, try to make that happen.

06:17.330 --> 06:17.670
Good points.

06:17.970 --> 06:18.770
That's a huge following.

06:20.310 --> 06:23.630
But yeah, let's, let's get into the, the new section.

06:24.050 --> 06:27.810
So let me share my, my screen.

06:30.230 --> 06:30.630
Okay.

06:30.930 --> 06:32.870
And talks are done.

06:33.010 --> 06:33.450
Okay, perfect.

06:34.350 --> 06:34.750
Okay.

06:34.870 --> 06:36.970
And before we start guys, like and share,

06:37.090 --> 06:38.130
this helps a lot obviously.

06:38.330 --> 06:39.930
And then I'm watching the YouTube comments as well.

06:41.530 --> 06:43.610
So if you have any questions, if you want to add

06:43.610 --> 06:46.050
even a link that you guys want us to go through

06:46.050 --> 06:47.930
right now, or if you have any questions about

06:47.930 --> 06:49.290
what we're going through right now, then you

06:49.290 --> 06:52.290
can go ahead and write that in the YouTube chat.

06:52.510 --> 06:54.930
I'm watching that one specifically now.

06:56.770 --> 06:57.770
Overquick conference.

06:58.310 --> 06:59.470
Have you ever bought your tickets?

06:59.970 --> 07:00.550
Use a code.

07:01.710 --> 07:02.210
2024.

07:04.050 --> 07:05.050
Tux 24.

07:05.710 --> 07:06.570
I tried body.

07:06.690 --> 07:07.630
I forgot body's code.

07:09.450 --> 07:11.110
I don't think it's body 24 body.

07:11.450 --> 07:12.550
No, it should be.

07:13.230 --> 07:13.990
It's not body 21.

07:14.770 --> 07:15.290
I tried.

07:17.130 --> 07:17.430
Hmm.

07:17.970 --> 07:18.430
Body.

07:20.050 --> 07:20.550
Yeah.

07:21.050 --> 07:22.170
But body has a code.

07:22.330 --> 07:23.950
So body if you can write it down for people.

07:23.950 --> 07:25.530
There's lab 24.

07:25.950 --> 07:27.390
One dash 800.

07:27.690 --> 07:29.150
I think.

07:30.050 --> 07:31.050
There's a lot of codes.

07:31.470 --> 07:33.330
So use all of them.

07:33.770 --> 07:37.010
Just use 20, Tony, Tony, Tony for the hour.

07:37.170 --> 07:37.910
Just use that one.

07:38.510 --> 07:38.770
Yeah.

07:39.910 --> 07:40.510
Okay.

07:40.650 --> 07:43.270
So let's talk about the first thing for this week.

07:43.570 --> 07:46.470
Japanese authorities arrested a gang of 18 scammers by

07:46.470 --> 07:47.850
analyzing our transactions.

07:49.430 --> 07:51.070
Now let's actually go into.

07:51.830 --> 07:54.170
The article itself from coin telegraph.

07:54.530 --> 07:57.790
So the group of scammers have been under investigations since

07:57.790 --> 07:59.890
August by Japan's new cyber crime.

08:00.410 --> 08:00.750
Unit.

08:01.070 --> 08:03.810
And essentially what we're going to discover by going through

08:03.810 --> 08:05.190
this is that.

08:06.270 --> 08:08.690
Actually, they didn't mention it, but usually what happens is

08:08.690 --> 08:11.370
that it's not that they cracked Monero and they discovered

08:11.370 --> 08:13.890
the malicious things that they've done with it.

08:13.950 --> 08:15.410
It's usually pure.

08:16.670 --> 08:19.210
Like just the people probably.

08:19.970 --> 08:23.490
Using Monero putting it back on some centralized exchange,

08:23.710 --> 08:26.130
which is tied to their credit card or their card.

08:26.390 --> 08:27.030
And there we go.

08:27.110 --> 08:28.590
And the money goes into their account,

08:28.730 --> 08:31.190
which is identified to them or probably some,

08:31.190 --> 08:34.010
some stupid way like this in which they messed up.

08:34.130 --> 08:35.750
But here's a graph.

08:36.050 --> 08:38.610
And if you're watching on YouTube, you can, you can see it,

08:38.650 --> 08:43.830
but just shows quarter free statistics and graphs on

08:44.370 --> 08:46.010
security incidents by chain.

08:46.010 --> 08:51.710
You see Ethereum, Bitcoin, BSC, Cosmos,

08:51.990 --> 08:52.470
or it's Monero.

08:52.770 --> 08:53.590
I don't see Monero.

08:53.770 --> 08:55.130
That's, that's quite odd.

08:55.270 --> 08:57.490
Well, yeah, that's because you can't, you can track it.

08:57.570 --> 09:00.210
So it's a really short article on this,

09:01.470 --> 09:06.010
but what I can also mention is that the transaction

09:06.570 --> 09:10.910
total about 100 million yen, which is $670,000.

09:11.530 --> 09:15.390
So they actually empty people on the subreddit on the

09:15.390 --> 09:16.330
post mentioned this too.

09:17.550 --> 09:20.370
Whenever some criminals are apprehended and they use Monero

09:20.370 --> 09:23.330
this way or another, the news must always be phrased in a way

09:23.330 --> 09:26.370
that it makes Monero seem easily traceable by authorities.

09:26.570 --> 09:28.950
Well, the truth is always that it's not Monero,

09:29.110 --> 09:32.650
which failed, but the back upset practiced by these criminals.

09:33.270 --> 09:34.790
So if you ever hear stuff like this,

09:35.410 --> 09:37.790
it doesn't mean that the correct Monero just means that

09:38.270 --> 09:43.670
the criminal is just, just did some bad upset because of,

09:43.670 --> 09:47.090
I don't know, they're not, they're just not,

09:49.010 --> 09:50.090
they just didn't care.

09:50.290 --> 09:51.770
I don't know.

09:53.430 --> 09:54.950
Now let's move on.

09:55.270 --> 09:58.910
Let's talk about Sailor.

09:59.090 --> 10:01.810
So pretty much if you're paranoid,

10:01.950 --> 10:03.490
you're paranoid crypto anarchist,

10:03.550 --> 10:05.550
if you hold your own keys and don't trust the government.

10:06.230 --> 10:08.330
That's what he said in this interview.

10:08.490 --> 10:12.450
So let's, let's watch it, but according to Sailor,

10:12.450 --> 10:13.630
just trust your government.

10:14.210 --> 10:15.570
You don't need to call your own keys.

10:15.870 --> 10:20.450
Just use some central exchange or use some bank to hold your Bitcoin

10:20.450 --> 10:23.090
and you're going to be fine.

10:23.210 --> 10:28.230
And she made some good points about what happened to gold in the 20th century.

10:30.670 --> 10:34.070
So let's just watch this video and then we'll comment a bit more.

10:35.810 --> 10:38.130
If there is more Bitcoin,

10:38.130 --> 10:40.990
Bitcoin's held with these third party custodians.

10:41.290 --> 10:49.250
What risk does that pose having greater supply held by fewer large institutions?

10:49.890 --> 10:53.970
Does that increase the risk of seizure and confiscation like we've seen with gold?

10:54.290 --> 10:57.010
And is that not exactly what Bitcoiners don't want to happen?

10:57.550 --> 10:58.690
No, I think it's the opposite.

10:59.030 --> 11:04.490
I think that when the Bitcoin is held by a bunch of crypto anarchists

11:05.050 --> 11:09.310
who aren't regulated entities, who don't acknowledge government

11:09.310 --> 11:13.250
or don't acknowledge taxes or don't acknowledge reporting requirements,

11:13.930 --> 11:15.610
that increases the risk of seizure.

11:16.250 --> 11:19.070
You have an OG crypto community that's very hardcore about it,

11:19.290 --> 11:21.730
but if you look at where all the money is,

11:21.890 --> 11:26.830
99.9% of the money is actually in the traditional economy.

11:27.050 --> 11:28.230
If you consider the Great Depression,

11:28.430 --> 11:29.970
I mean people thought that their gold was safe

11:29.970 --> 11:32.110
and banks until the executive order of 1933.

11:32.810 --> 11:34.230
We're not entirely safe.

11:34.390 --> 11:36.950
I mean, I know that's kind of a wild thing to suggest may happen again,

11:36.970 --> 11:40.770
but history does repeat itself, so Bitcoin wouldn't be entirely safe.

11:40.950 --> 11:46.270
People say that, but mostly it's paranoid crypto anarchists that say that.

11:48.050 --> 11:51.910
Because it's a myth and a trope that goes on over and over again.

11:52.410 --> 11:54.810
But first of all, he didn't really seize the gold.

11:54.970 --> 11:56.610
People voluntarily turned in the gold.

11:56.890 --> 11:58.630
They didn't go and kick in everybody's door,

11:58.790 --> 12:00.430
arrest them, shoot them and take their gold.

12:00.430 --> 12:01.270
That never happened.

12:02.250 --> 12:04.290
Is the United States on the Bitcoin standard?

12:05.070 --> 12:05.890
Maybe we will be safe.

12:06.190 --> 12:07.830
But the point really is we're not.

12:08.530 --> 12:11.710
It's totally not a reasonable comparison.

12:12.390 --> 12:18.750
People have these inflammatory tropes or inflammatory memes that they use.

12:19.130 --> 12:21.550
And it's like I say that because I want you to give me your money.

12:24.230 --> 12:29.430
If you don't trust the bank, then you'll buy my hardware wallet.

12:29.430 --> 12:33.450
If you don't trust this government, you'll move to my country

12:33.450 --> 12:35.050
and you'll buy a passport from me.

12:35.330 --> 12:40.610
That's the kind of fear mongering to get you to give me your money, right?

12:40.970 --> 12:44.890
And I use it to sell you a gun, to sell you a hardware wallet,

12:45.050 --> 12:47.870
to sell you an account, to sell you a financial advisor,

12:48.170 --> 12:49.110
to sell you an insurance.

12:49.590 --> 12:51.710
Or to sell you Bitcoin because what?

12:52.950 --> 12:55.050
God, what is doing with all this?

12:55.050 --> 12:56.670
You guys suck the Charlottes and holy shit.

12:56.670 --> 13:01.130
You guys like a status operative.

13:01.630 --> 13:06.310
Yeah, the most like, oh my God, I know people's blood boil when they hear this.

13:06.690 --> 13:12.830
Like the most annoying part about this is that he's, like Tuck said,

13:13.010 --> 13:14.650
he is clearly the charlatan.

13:14.750 --> 13:18.790
And here he is essentially trying to call the crypto anarchists the charlatans.

13:20.110 --> 13:23.510
He's saying like, oh, they're just spreading these memes out.

13:23.510 --> 13:27.310
They're fear mongering because they want you to use their hardware wallet.

13:27.450 --> 13:29.150
They want you to store your key.

13:29.230 --> 13:30.450
Like that's the scam.

13:30.770 --> 13:34.330
The scammers are the people that are trying to get you to use crypto

13:34.330 --> 13:37.450
correctly and hold your own keys that are trying to scare you

13:37.450 --> 13:39.990
into using crypto peer-to-peer.

13:40.150 --> 13:43.710
Those are the scammers, not Michael Saylor, the billionaire

13:44.470 --> 13:51.130
who has just like, just like, he's basically a snake soil salesman.

13:51.130 --> 13:52.750
He's been from day one.

13:53.050 --> 13:56.150
Yeah, there's like no reason to believe he's not like a Fed op

13:56.150 --> 13:58.250
or just like a big banks bird, you know.

13:59.310 --> 14:03.810
But now he's not like, now he's sitting here and like attacking the crypto.

14:03.810 --> 14:07.830
The tights turn so much like over the course of the sale,

14:08.110 --> 14:09.470
the sailorism of Bitcoin.

14:09.930 --> 14:12.730
At first it started out as like, he was kind of like, yeah,

14:12.970 --> 14:15.470
Bitcoin's going to become, and you stand up, you're going to use it.

14:15.510 --> 14:18.550
And then it turned into, oh, Bitcoin just has to store value.

14:18.550 --> 14:21.750
And now it's like, well, Bitcoin, do you really need to hold your own Bitcoin?

14:22.210 --> 14:24.330
You know, you're paranoid if you're going to hold your own Bitcoin.

14:24.770 --> 14:25.550
It's like crazy.

14:27.710 --> 14:28.110
Insane.

14:28.390 --> 14:29.570
I'll sell you something.

14:29.870 --> 14:30.290
Cake wallet.

14:30.530 --> 14:30.910
It's free.

14:32.870 --> 14:33.670
Yeah, exactly.

14:34.750 --> 14:36.070
Your keys are coins, baby.

14:36.750 --> 14:37.890
He would call you a scammer.

14:38.630 --> 14:41.350
You're trying to scare people out of using the traditional banks.

14:41.350 --> 14:43.330
I'm trying to scam people by using something for free.

14:43.590 --> 14:44.090
Yeah, that's right.

14:44.710 --> 14:46.170
But who's the bigger scammer actually?

14:46.170 --> 14:50.470
Because so he's okay, like say people are actually money on the wallets and stuff like that,

14:50.510 --> 14:54.470
but he's making a lot more money by having billions of dollars invested in Bitcoin

14:54.470 --> 14:58.090
and getting the large institutions to hold a large amount of it,

14:58.090 --> 15:00.970
which drives the price up, which drives his own Bitcoin price up.

15:01.350 --> 15:04.550
So, and she made some very good points.

15:04.890 --> 15:11.510
So yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's this sailorism like Tuck said, it's crazy.

15:12.330 --> 15:13.210
YouTube comments.

15:14.450 --> 15:15.890
Mr. 1024 waits.

15:15.930 --> 15:17.410
The sailor is anti second amendment.

15:18.070 --> 15:20.550
He's anti freedom.

15:21.430 --> 15:22.810
Paper vigilante, big joke.

15:22.970 --> 15:25.070
That's all of it puts on MSTR.

15:27.190 --> 15:27.630
Yeah.

15:28.470 --> 15:29.430
Yeah, that's insane.

15:30.050 --> 15:33.710
Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure body would, would like to say a comment or two.

15:33.810 --> 15:35.530
Maybe when he comes up and does this price report,

15:35.650 --> 15:38.130
if you want to do that comment on all this.

15:39.810 --> 15:42.010
If this doesn't tell you that Bitcoin is hijacked,

15:42.130 --> 15:45.930
I don't know what was the fact that this guy is like the, the big,

15:45.970 --> 15:47.790
the big Bitcoin person that everyone knows about.

15:48.690 --> 15:52.490
It's amazing though, like there's all these people that are trapped in,

15:52.490 --> 15:53.470
in it though, right?

15:53.610 --> 15:56.310
And they are, they'll just continue to go along with it.

15:56.350 --> 15:59.250
Cause the, you know, this has been the prediction from day one

15:59.250 --> 16:03.870
when we started to see this narrative that the number go up narrative.

16:04.470 --> 16:06.490
And so even if people are sitting there and they're like,

16:06.490 --> 16:10.170
uh, you know, he's, he's, he's kind of wrong.

16:10.430 --> 16:11.690
You know, I should be holding my own.

16:11.810 --> 16:14.730
We'll just go along with it because they want to see the price of Bitcoin go up.

16:15.470 --> 16:17.270
So they're like, yeah, go sail her.

16:18.050 --> 16:18.610
Destroy Bitcoin.

16:19.150 --> 16:19.670
Yep.

16:20.110 --> 16:20.910
They want to maintain followers.

16:21.290 --> 16:23.630
Bitcoin goes up in fiat value where I'm winning.

16:24.390 --> 16:24.490
Yep.

16:25.670 --> 16:30.650
Massive protest outside of the Bitcoin 2025 Las Vegas convention.

16:31.270 --> 16:33.190
Anti sailor protest.

16:33.990 --> 16:35.150
What is this?

16:36.570 --> 16:37.890
This is the Bitcoin conference.

16:38.150 --> 16:39.870
It's in, it's in May next year.

16:40.290 --> 16:40.730
Okay.

16:41.150 --> 16:44.510
Las Vegas is saying to go protest like outside anti sailor.

16:44.670 --> 16:47.350
Maybe we'll have to do the Monerotopia down the block.

16:47.550 --> 16:48.130
Like we did in Miami.

16:49.010 --> 16:49.890
Oh yeah.

16:51.130 --> 16:51.730
Yeah.

16:52.670 --> 16:52.950
Yeah.

16:54.970 --> 16:55.930
Moving on.

16:56.310 --> 16:57.870
So movie featuring, that's cool.

16:58.190 --> 17:02.330
Movie featuring Monero playing in the San Francisco Bay area this Sunday.

17:02.330 --> 17:06.190
So if you close go,

17:06.430 --> 17:10.790
but also if you come down to Mexico city on November 14th through conference,

17:10.910 --> 17:12.990
they're going to have their Mexican premiere.

17:14.030 --> 17:14.470
Yeah.

17:14.550 --> 17:17.470
We'll be playing it in a theater across the street from the venue.

17:17.590 --> 17:18.110
Super cool.

17:18.330 --> 17:19.090
Thursday evening.

17:19.810 --> 17:20.430
That's badass.

17:20.830 --> 17:21.250
That's awesome.

17:24.410 --> 17:27.790
Now, when I saw this, I, I thought it was a high generated.

17:27.970 --> 17:28.770
I thought it was fake.

17:28.990 --> 17:31.110
I saw it just when I woke up and

17:31.110 --> 17:31.770
I thought it was fake.

17:32.570 --> 17:34.830
But Joe Rogan actually got an interview,

17:35.190 --> 17:37.090
a podcast with Donald Trump.

17:37.430 --> 17:38.230
It's almost three hours.

17:39.430 --> 17:41.890
So I was excited when Elon Musk came, came on.

17:42.010 --> 17:44.350
I think he was only on for an hour, an hour and a half,

17:44.450 --> 17:45.110
maybe more, whatever.

17:45.290 --> 17:46.110
But this one is long.

17:46.610 --> 17:47.950
And without Donald Trump,

17:48.050 --> 17:51.510
I've only listened to about 30 minutes of it so far.

17:51.610 --> 17:53.510
But I'm sure it's packed of stuff.

17:53.810 --> 17:54.150
Yeah.

17:54.950 --> 17:58.270
If you could go to like the 41 minute mark.

17:59.850 --> 18:02.690
Um, you know, this is kind of kind of a little slightly relevant

18:02.690 --> 18:06.070
where he talks about Rogan asked him about like eliminating

18:07.330 --> 18:08.090
income tax.

18:08.350 --> 18:10.090
So I think this is, this is going.

18:10.490 --> 18:10.910
Oh yeah.

18:11.190 --> 18:11.270
Yeah.

18:11.630 --> 18:12.710
Go ahead and play that.

18:12.750 --> 18:13.850
Is that 41 minute?

18:14.870 --> 18:15.690
I'm not sure.

18:15.810 --> 18:17.210
I've seen that minute clip.

18:17.650 --> 18:17.730
Yeah.

18:17.730 --> 18:19.710
It's like around the 41 minute mark, I think.

18:20.490 --> 18:20.890
Word.

18:21.030 --> 18:23.930
I've said this from the last couple of weeks in the dictionary

18:23.930 --> 18:27.690
today and any is the word tariff.

18:27.910 --> 18:29.610
It's more beautiful than love.

18:29.890 --> 18:31.170
It's more beautiful than it is.

18:31.410 --> 18:32.750
It's the most beautiful word.

18:33.390 --> 18:37.090
This country can become rich with the use,

18:37.290 --> 18:39.130
the proper use of tariffs.

18:39.450 --> 18:43.070
It'll keep just float out the idea of getting rid of income

18:43.070 --> 18:45.030
taxes and replacing it with tariffs.

18:45.470 --> 18:45.970
Well, okay.

18:46.050 --> 18:46.870
We serious about that?

18:46.870 --> 18:47.570
Yeah, sure.

18:47.770 --> 18:48.210
Why not?

18:48.410 --> 18:49.390
Because we ready.

18:49.730 --> 18:53.790
Our country was the richest in the eight relatively in the

18:53.790 --> 18:56.170
1880s and 1890s.

18:56.510 --> 18:59.070
A president who was assassinated named McKinley.

19:00.050 --> 19:01.090
He was the tariff king.

19:01.330 --> 19:02.810
He spoke beautifully of terraces.

19:03.310 --> 19:05.550
His language was really beautiful.

19:06.410 --> 19:11.170
We will not allow the enemy to come in and take our jobs and

19:11.170 --> 19:14.230
take our factories and take our workers and take our

19:14.230 --> 19:18.110
families unless they pay a big price and the big prices

19:18.110 --> 19:18.570
tariffs.

19:19.230 --> 19:21.930
And he'd speak like that, but he was right.

19:21.930 --> 19:24.150
And then around in the early 1900s,

19:24.690 --> 19:27.290
they switched over stupidly to frankly an income tax.

19:27.890 --> 19:28.910
And you know why?

19:29.250 --> 19:31.290
Because countries were putting a lot of pressure on America.

19:31.430 --> 19:32.290
We don't want to pay tariffs.

19:32.450 --> 19:32.890
Please don't.

19:33.010 --> 19:35.950
You know, they believe me, they control our politicians.

19:36.530 --> 19:40.070
If you look at the kind of numbers that these guys make

19:40.070 --> 19:46.030
then and now, but we had a commission meeting in the

19:46.790 --> 19:48.810
eight, I think it was 1887.

19:49.130 --> 19:50.070
Think of this problem.

19:50.570 --> 19:51.850
We were so rich.

19:52.070 --> 19:54.130
We had so much money.

19:54.270 --> 19:55.510
We didn't know what to do.

19:55.550 --> 19:58.710
So they set up a blue ribbon commission on tariffs.

19:59.510 --> 20:03.290
And the sole purpose is what to do with all the money we had.

20:03.690 --> 20:07.530
We were so rich because we were taxing other people for

20:07.530 --> 20:11.610
coming in and taking our jobs and China does it.

20:11.650 --> 20:12.450
That's what China did.

20:12.590 --> 20:15.370
If you want to open a factory and sell cars,

20:15.510 --> 20:17.530
if you build a factory here or have a factory,

20:17.710 --> 20:18.550
they don't take our cars.

20:18.550 --> 20:19.830
They wouldn't take our cars.

20:20.150 --> 20:24.630
But if you build a plant in China, you can do that.

20:24.770 --> 20:25.430
Elon did that.

20:25.530 --> 20:26.510
By the way, Elon is great.

20:26.910 --> 20:28.790
That guy is such a great guy.

20:28.870 --> 20:30.330
I think you're a fan of Elon.

20:31.830 --> 20:36.950
He just goes on and on.

20:37.670 --> 20:39.230
Pretty cool though, right?

20:39.390 --> 20:40.670
That he's doing Joe Rogan.

20:41.790 --> 20:43.790
We'll see if we get Kamala on there.

20:44.290 --> 20:45.470
No way.

20:45.470 --> 20:48.190
She can sustain that.

20:48.490 --> 20:49.590
I think she already declined.

20:50.930 --> 20:52.050
She already declined.

20:52.690 --> 20:56.750
But we got Trump talking about eliminating income tax.

20:57.330 --> 20:58.290
Fucking awesome.

20:58.970 --> 20:59.550
That's crazy.

21:01.670 --> 21:03.090
Flirting, slightly flirting.

21:03.230 --> 21:04.890
Not official rhetoric, slightly flirting.

21:05.310 --> 21:06.090
Yeah, of course.

21:06.390 --> 21:07.850
It's nice to think about.

21:08.010 --> 21:10.290
I don't know if it'll actually end up ever happening,

21:10.290 --> 21:12.110
but it's nice to think about.

21:12.110 --> 21:15.610
And the thing is that people still don't like tariffs, right?

21:15.950 --> 21:17.610
But from a crypto anarchist standpoint,

21:17.790 --> 21:19.070
tariffs is not free market.

21:19.490 --> 21:25.330
But tariffs over income tax gives you way more control

21:25.330 --> 21:26.070
of your money.

21:26.490 --> 21:27.470
Way more control of your money.

21:27.570 --> 21:29.710
Because you can just choose not to buy certain products.

21:29.830 --> 21:31.090
You can choose not to spend your money.

21:31.630 --> 21:34.030
Income tax, it's forcibly taken out of your paycheck

21:34.030 --> 21:34.690
every month.

21:35.190 --> 21:35.550
Exactly.

21:35.930 --> 21:36.770
So there you go.

21:37.390 --> 21:38.950
Tucks for president, 100%.

21:39.790 --> 21:40.430
No.

21:41.010 --> 21:42.830
And meanwhile, you know,

21:42.870 --> 21:45.610
Trump is flirting with eliminating income tax

21:45.610 --> 21:48.350
and Kamala is flirting with implementing

21:48.830 --> 21:49.790
unrealized capital gains.

21:50.210 --> 21:50.630
Sounds like.

21:51.190 --> 21:51.430
Yeah.

21:51.970 --> 21:54.650
Is either one going to happen?

21:54.850 --> 21:55.390
Probably not.

21:56.230 --> 21:59.850
Kamala, I doubt they might start.

22:00.190 --> 22:01.630
They might start with something small

22:01.630 --> 22:02.990
with the unrealized capital gains.

22:03.610 --> 22:04.450
I mean, that's like.

22:04.550 --> 22:06.070
We technically already have that.

22:06.070 --> 22:08.810
I would argue we already have unrealized gains tax,

22:08.950 --> 22:09.810
which is property tax.

22:10.310 --> 22:11.130
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

22:11.210 --> 22:11.510
There you go.

22:11.990 --> 22:13.590
I like that argument.

22:14.510 --> 22:15.110
So, yeah.

22:17.170 --> 22:18.990
I was listening to the Trump thing,

22:19.310 --> 22:22.430
like the first like 20 minutes or 30 minutes,

22:22.590 --> 22:25.490
I felt like Rogan was just like, bro, come on, man.
