a stake and you can stake it, you can mine it, it's CPU minable so you're able to
mine it with your phones, old laptops, raspberry pies, whatever and it's really
cool what they're doing over there. It gives you an opportunity to interact
with their DeFi, with a token, with a coin, it's not a token, it's not a
coin, that is you know backed with real R. As of right now the price of one
bar is actually costs four pirate chain. There's been a lot of demand
on it, lots of because there is a limited supply of R and lots of people have
been pouring into it to stake and to mine and to earn a reward off of it.
So there's been a lot of demand on it and the price of skyrocketed but you can
always cash out the price does fluctuate like any other asset but there is
will always be real pirate chain on Komodo wallet that you can swap one to
one. So even if the price on other platforms are on Varys DeFi dips below
one pirate chain for one bar you can always sell that bar for one pirate
chain on there but there is not a cap to how high it can go it's just as up to
market conditions to see how high it can go. As of right now it's four
pirate chain or yeah four pirate chain for every one of all. So it has been
seen a lot of tension it's really cool Varys has been blowing up lately
they're a cool project if you're into DeFi I think Varys is doing DeFi
correctly I'm not I personally am not a fan of
most DeFi out there but the way Varys is doing it I find it to be
more decentralized more sustainable and just better all around.
So if you're not very familiar with Varys you really need to go check them out.
I want to get to this announcement that they made about the mandatory update
so I don't get anything wrong here it's on their announcements channel
on their discord if you didn't see yourself but
it's a mandatory update for and it needs to be done by
November 24th for mainnet and November 12th if you are participating in any test
net. There has been some problems with forking
away you know nodes forking away from the
real chain and this solves those issues so it is a mandatory
update they did have an update a few weeks ago
also but I was told if you missed either if you
missed that last update or if you missed this new one
just update resync with the bootstrap and you should be fine
and if you have any other issues go visit the Varys discord or Varys
telegram those guys can point you in the right direction they're
more of an expert on it than I am. You can always help ask for help in our
discord also but you might get faster help if you go over to Varys
so make sure you update if you're running bar
or anything on Varys make sure you update before the 24th
that's mandatory updates very important you do it
um let me see uh next thing I want to mention is the holiday seasons are
coming up especially here in the United States
it's uh November and December are our biggest shopping seasons of the year
we have our two biggest holidays of the year
the Friday after Thanksgiving is Black Friday here in the United States
it's the biggest shopping day of the year and since we are a decentralized
currency we really like to use this time to
highlight our merchants we call it pirate black friday or sometimes we call it
support our merchants and it's the time when we all get
together to go spend some of our pirate chain for some of our
amazing merchants that are listed on armada and barter
that's armada.com a r r r m a d a dot com and barter b a r r r
t e r dot com and barter is similar to ebay it's a place you can go and buy
and sell stuff you can sell your old things or any products you have a
business you have any products they produce it's a platform to buy and sell
for pirate chain there and armada is a merchant directory
for all of our merchants so you have to have a website or a business
especially an in-person business anything that is accepting
pirate chain you can get it listed on armada and that's just a place we
can go to quickly look over all of the places we can go
and spend our pirate chain there's some incredible merchants on there you
can buy some awesome stuff and there's even quite a few uh
in-person businesses that you can go and look up see if there's
any in your community you can go and visit go and support them
and i find this incredibly important is what makes us different from
so many other chains out there we are actually focusing on building an
alternative to fiat and alternative to using fiat
centralized money in the banking system and we've built
absolutely everything you need to do that everything from full node
wallets light wallets to atomic swaps we have everything you need to do
business and pirate chain to save pirate chain to swap pirate chain
it's there it's ready to be used for your business for your shopping
and it's important that we take advantage of it we're not going to change the
world here unless we use it but narrow topia actually has a really great
slogan for their event this year the theme is if we use it we win
and i absolutely love that i love whoever came up with that because that
just perfectly describes what i'm trying to do
here we have everything we need but everybody's just holding their coins
everybody's stockpiling them and they're not using them when
that's the best part about pirate chain it gives you privacy when you are making
purchases or when you are doing business or when you're
lending money to a friend or something like that that's
what pirates pirate chain doesn't do that much just sitting
you know in your wallet does keep it private you know it does keep it safe
but the biggest benefit of pirate chain is that you can go and buy stuff
with it and you don't have to give all your information to the merchant
and that people can't just go on a block explorer and go see how much
funds you have and see what you're doing with your money
that's what makes pirate chain incredible that's what makes zero knowledge
proofs incredible so we're really doing ourselves a disservice if you're not
using this incredible tool that's right in front of us
and i personally think that's how we really make an impact the
you know the fiat establishment or is not threatened
by a digital asset that you just hold in a digital wallet and don't do
anything with that doesn't do anything to you know give
the power over their money back to people if you're still spending their
dollars if you're you know still spending their heroes
what really threatens them is cutting them out of the system replacing them
with something we control something that isn't manipulated and something
that's private by default and that's how we really make an
impact in the world that's how we make the world a better place for our
kids and the next generation and you know the generations
hundreds of years from now if we can really build decentralized currencies
and shift the focus from fiat and make it normal to not use fiat to use
real decentralized hard currencies then that can have such an incredible impact
on the future of humanity and we're at a really pivotal moment right now
where cryptos go one of two directions you know the
establishment really is embracing it and i think it's more important than
ever that we show what we can do with it we start
accepting it we start preferring it anything i buy or sell i prefer pirate
chain if i'm selling anything i prefer pirate chain before anything else like
obviously i'll take others if i have to but i prefer pirate
chain and if everybody in our community and everybody in crypto
started prioritizing doing business in cryptocurrency as opposed to fiat we
could we have an opportunity to really use something incredible here guys
but we're at a very important moment it's time for us to make a decision
are we all just trying to get rich or we're just trying to make our coin
you know go to the moon so we can make a bunch of money or are we trying
to make the bet world a better place we're trying to help the future
generations and it's time for us to decide that and
i think pirate chain black friday and support our merchants
whatever you want to call it i think there's a great opportunity to show
we don't want to lose our merchants that are posted on armada so let's go
and support them go send them some money get some incredible products
there's quite a few cool things on there especially if you're just
looking for clothes and t-shirts why if you're going to buy a t-shirt
this year anyways why not make it a pirate chain t-shirt you bought on
armada it's in support something incredible we have
they have awesome designs they have loads of talented people so
this is the time of year when it's really time to show our colors
we need to prove that we're here to make a difference and to replace fiat
and for something better so make sure you guys go to armada.com and barter.com
and check that out make sure you you can go on there and find your favorite
merchant and go make a tweet about them if you find a merchant on there
that's selling a product you really like
go make a tweet about it go make a tiktok video about it whatever
social media you want be like check out this awesome store that accepts pirate
chain and sells these incredible products
i'm sure those people will appreciate it and it will encourage other merchants
out there to start accepting pirate chain
so let's really not waste this moment let's make this holiday season something
special go buy your christmas presents with pirate
chain i know i will be this year
so let's see let me make sure we don't have anybody
in the chat here all right
so uh the next thing i wanted to talk about
i will wait a second on that um this past weekend
last saturday i went on crypto riches show again
uh i think the episode will be out this week
it's something regular we're going to be doing all the time every month or
every other month or so so it's relatively short but i'll be going on
there and uh giving short interviews quite regularly
and uh it'd be really awesome if everybody could go and first of all watch
the video and comment and share up share it
because crypto rich you know he's one of of the social media influencers or
content creators crypto rich supports us more than any of them
there may be other channels that are bigger but uh crypto rich is a die
hard pirate through and through pirates's you know
favorite coin he finds incredibly important he's a very very nice dude very
passionate and very smart too so if you haven't
watched crypto rich you can find him on youtube but i would
encourage you to reach out to other platforms i personally watch him on
odyssey o d y s e it's from the library
protocol anyways i prefer that over youtube that's where i catch his
content but he is also on youtube so make sure to keep an eye out for
that and uh share it and like it everywhere
take clips from it and share it do whatever you need to do
and send me some feedback too i'm still kind of new it you know
going on shows like this and doing these conversations digitally
as opposed to in person so guys have any criticisms for me don't be able
afraid or comments or any advice don't be afraid to reach out
you know tell me i'm saying something wrong or i need to speak up or call my
hair or something you know appreciate the criticism and i could always use
all the help i could get so
let's see did forge ever make it and make it in
doesn't look like forge is gonna make it so he just had he just wanted to
update everybody on how his work on orchard is coming
he's made he's been working hard on it he's made a lot of progress it's all
going really really well uh let me read this from him he
said the wallet consent transactions to orchard addresses
from coinbase addresses and sapling addresses
and consent transaction to sapling addresses from orchard addresses
the primary functionality is 99 complete there are still bugs we are
working on and uh diversified addresses are not
quite working correctly so he's got the core functionality done
he's working on hammering out the bugs not just him
everybody we're all working on you know we're in the testing phase right
now we're doing lots of testing and working out these bugs
but we just wanted to let everybody know the development is going well
everything's going according to plan and forge is doing an incredible job
we still don't we don't have a timeline of when it'll be released we want to
make sure it's absolutely perfect this is a huge upgrade for us very
significant so we are not going to rush it we're
going to make sure we do everything right and that it is very very
thoroughly tested before we ever release it
so keep an eye out on that going into the new year that is a huge update
upgrade uh once it does come out the pirate chain users probably won't
notice that much difference in functionality but it is very it's a
very big deal that it gets rid of the trusted setup
and it does have some scalability and other benefits also but
the big deal out of this is that it removes the trusted setup which has
been a point of fud that you know pirate has got for a
long time and I don't think it's ever been
an issue there's never been anything compromised in the past but this
removes that fud and makes it even more decentralized
which is absolutely incredible so we really appreciate ford you guys have no
idea how lucky we are to have someone like him around
he really knows what he's doing he's really smart
he's not conceited about it he's very humble so he makes sure
you know he dots all his eyes and crosses his t's
and he like if you have a chance go out and send
forward to thank you like he is really really doing incredible work and he
never asks for anything for it he just hammers away
in his workshop building us the you know best wallets that are out there the
most private by default wallets that are around
and this orchard upgrade is a big project and he is doing great work on it
and appreciate everybody on the team who is helping him test
and do everything to get this upgrade out because it is the biggest thing
going on so we absolutely love ford I know he doesn't
come out and speak in public that often he'll always respond to your messages if
you ping him on you know discord or telegram or
something he'll usually respond and answer questions
but he is really incredible and we are so so lucky we have him
so make sure you guys take a chance to ping ford and tell him thank you so
much for all your hard work he really you know is the backbone for what
we're doing here and we love him to death
so keep your eye out for more orchard updates all
as soon as we have more information I'll let you know but like I said we're
taking this slow making sure everything is done right and making sure we test the
crap out of it we're going to test test test
until we are 100 confident that you know we have all these bugs hammered out
and everything will go smoothly because this is a huge bit deal for us
let me see what else
I think that I think that might be everything I have
does anybody else have anything to add did I miss anything
all right so if anyone else has anything to add or any comments or anything
like that you can go ahead and raise your hand we'll bring you on stage
come on lutz I know you have something to say lutz there we go
oh how do I bring him on stage there we go
testing testing what's up lutz what's up hey how you doing guys
I see we got quiet now you're here oh that warms my heart
what's up man yeah nothing much I said a few things yesterday I'll I guess I'll
repeat it again here there's two things I'm working on one of them is a major
possibility uh he said he will contact me after the holidays and I'll you know we'll
see if we could get pirate in some movies um that's that's a not a short thing
and uh you know let's let's hope he comes back and he embraces uh you know what we have at the
moment uh so I'm working on that guys and uh you know with next so you know you know why I don't go to
events anymore uh you know you know why I don't do interviews anymore uh it's just a waste of time
at this point I believe uh you can see by the proof that you've been doing it for quite a long
time and you see it does nothing uh so I rather make moves that actually you know are gonna make
a bigger difference than the normal you know the normal cycle that we keep doing here
so so I think we need our own events like like everything else I said we need to own everything
right we need to own our events uh you know I know I know it's nice to play nice with Monero
but you know it'd be nice to have our own Monero pirate soccer team right I mean we need to own
everything all right so uh next year I want to do events I wanted to do it this year but the car is
not ready uh but next year let's hope to God that it is ready and if you want to push that along
or you could send an email to Carolina Vader and say when will the pirate car be ready and maybe
maybe you know put a little fire underneath their asses uh you know that's and you remember
then they were on the armada for a while they were accepting pirate yeah I remember them so if you
guys if you want to help me out send them an email because you know it's getting a little frustrating
for myself too uh so uh you know let them know that there's a huge community waiting for this
project and uh you know yeah all right guys so if you can help me out on that method uh
do that because we want this car to be ready by next year uh so that we could attend real
shows and win under the name of pirate chain and then when they approach the car we could teach them
and these are not people like we meet in the these crypto events these are normal people so we could
actually teach and do some good because when you go to these other events everybody knows
everything already it's like they're all professionals you know oh yeah you know a
peanut coin is going to be worth a million dollars you know you you know it's everybody's got
their own thing in these shows where you know they all feel like they know better than you right
even though I've been here 15 years everybody knows better than me right uh so I I don't want to do
that anymore I don't think it's going to work anymore I don't think going to any bitcoin
experience or uh you know uh in archipelago you know it's nice to make network connections
but I don't think as far as for pirate it's not going to do anything because we're not getting
to the public we're not really getting to those people out there we're kind of in our own little
echo chamber going on yeah yeah the way I look at it is like there's not a ton of benefit of
being at the conferences but there is a lot lost if we have absolutely no representation at them
that's why we don't go crazy going I get I get emails like every week trying to get us to
sponsor some event out there most of them want crazy money and I am trying to focus of
we're going to go to these events and promote pirate chain there too but we are trying to focus
on getting some more like digital content and video content and putting some more of our effort in
that direction too because I I somewhat agree with you they do these they do turn into circle
jerks at a certain point you see the same people there and stuff like that but I think
it would be bad if we had no representation at any of them you know so we're we do a few
events and but then we're definitely trying to focus our energy on doing some video content
and blogs and stuff like that some other avenues of promoting and I really like the idea that would
be incredible if you could get pirate chain used in a movie that would be absolutely awesome
especially if they did a transaction or had it in the script or something the product
placement that would be absolutely incredible that's the kind of out of box marketing we
really really need so we absolutely love that idea so I am talking to somebody so and
he's really popular you know and I won't divulge his name till uh you know till I'm secure that you
know he's uh he's on board but he did give me a number and you know we're uh you know the
number I threw out there earlier is just imaginative it's not the real number I was just
to see what people felt about you know having a movie having us in a movie which I think would go a
long way you know if you spend a lot of money on marketing now it dissipates like in a year from
now it's like you lost all your money for nothing like you did nothing that actually
that was concrete and stayed with us right where a movie they could live on for a very long time
you know and you know it might be slow but it'll be there gathering people little by little that
watch the movie and say oh what's pirate chain you know they did a transaction in pirate chain in
this movie what's pirate chain right that that would be better in my opinion
yeah that would be absolutely incredible if we could do that so you make sure to keep us updated
with it and let us know if there's anything we can do to help the community uh if we
you know need to raise funds or something that would be absolutely awesome I'm really excited to
hear some updates about that yeah man if you guys want to help yeah we've been looking forward to
that pirate car for a while so I'm excited to get it done hey why don't you put that email in the
chat down there if you want people to email it dude I paid in chat I paid like 15 grand for that
body kit and uh you know a couple grand for a few other things man it's been like three years
bro so I kind of feel like you know they're not taking me seriously you know so if you guys if you
guys want to show Caroline Evader how big we are uh you know send them an email we say you know
Lutz told me you're building the pirate car you know can you tell me when that's going to be done
you know because I don't think you're taking us very seriously and uh it's a little
frustrating you can imagine for myself where I've been waiting three years and that's my car
that's that's literally the car I slept in when I was in the streets I took it and I put a body
kit on it so you know it means more to me that car than just it being changed at the moment you know
that's Veronica bro that's my first love she took care of me that that car took care of me when nobody
else did I was in the streets and let me tell you I think you know when it's cold outside you
turn on the heat in the car when it's cold hi you turn on the air condition you know
and then you get used to sleeping in there and that's uh that was that's that car is very
special to me because it took you know it took care of me you know and at this point
kind of feel like I'm being jerked a little bit you know um you know but but but you know
on the chat drop the email in the chat I'm not going to remember it if you don't
so uh Carolina Vader has a website man uh just you know but it should be over to uh
but I will Carolina Vader Carolina Vader that's who's building our pirate car our pirate car is
going to be a Vader it's the same car that was in the movie the Joker remember that pink car that he
was he was driving oh yeah uh yeah so it's that same cool car but only we're gonna bring that to
shows and we'll be super unique uh yeah you know and and then and then if we could find somebody
who's uh you know willing to race it we might even do that too because I think that if somebody
saw a pirate car racing down the line you know I don't know if you guys attend drag races
but if you saw this car racing down the line and kicking ass people would be like what the
fuck is that car right and it would really bring a lot of attention I think you know I think this
is this is how to do it this is how you get the real people you know we we need to do real
things and not and get out of this echo chamber we're in you know and that's what I've been
trying to do you know I we should have did it this summer but it wasn't done car still not done
and I just can't imagine something you know taking so long you know they had some hiccups here and
there and you know at this point you know I think I think you guys need to help me out and show them
how many people are waiting for this goddamn car so that we could we could utilize it in these
events you know where we could put up a boost like we normally do but also have that attraction
of the car where where it draws people in right and we could talk to them
yeah I absolutely love it I can't believe it's been three years already
the day that's unacceptable then you get that done that's my Veronica bro that's my baby yeah
that's awesome well we love the work you're doing yeah guys keep these if anybody else has
any of these out of the box ideas we'd love it we're a community project you know we're with the
community that's all any of us are so if you want to participate if you have any ideas or if you want
to do it yourself or if you want help whatever everything's open source here you can use any
of our logos or designs they're all free use and we really encourage people to do that so if
you get any of these out of the box ideas or if you have any skills or knowledge that are
unique make sure to you know come to the discord come to telegram let us know get organized and we
do community calls on Sundays at uh one pm eastern time every sunday we have lots of cool people
showing up in there that's where we discuss these kind of ideas so if you want to participate in
the community participate in the marketing or anything come join us on the community calls
we have a great time there every sunday we could even do a pirate topia without spending
much money guys we could do it in my goddamn backyard if you guys want i got you know i mean
i'm pretty sure we could fit quite a few people in a half an acre yeah let's do it man i'll help
i'll help organize it i'll fly up there
so let's make it happen we don't you're really serious about we should start a group chat
throw a few people in there and start you know talking about it and seeing how much it costs
and stuff we got to think outside the box guys you know you know grassroots marketing
is all about marketing with no money remember that's how we used to do it like like at some point
money came in and everybody was using ad sense and stuff but you know back in the day it was
grassroots man we throw out maybe a press release you know for 300 bucks so all the
bloggers get it um and and that's it and we would go through all the channels we would
go through a bitcoin talk and post it and that's grassroots marketing just naturally
going out there and putting posts everywhere and going on all social medias and you know tell
everybody about it and and we had bounties right everybody there was there's something called
gleam.io where we would utilize a lot in other projects and uh you know it allows people to
you know it checks off the boxes uh you know you have to make sure you like this
and you and you uh you know look at gleam.io and make sure that everybody does exactly what
they need to for social medias and once they're complete they could get their bounty uh
i'm not sure if there's other services like that but i mean when you got no money guys
grassroots marketing you got to learn how to do that
yeah it's not that we don't have any money but we do like to be wise with it make a lot of these
promotional opportunities they're just throwing your money away or the market there's some crypto
marketing firms out there that are like crypto specific and they're almost a complete joke
you pay them a bunch of money and they just pay an influencer and let you go on this pay a
youtube channel only let you go on this youtube channel for one episode and that's it you get
you give this youtuber free content and pay for it it's just it's always been i've always really
appreciated pirate chain because we don't pay influencers that's always been just been like
part of our credibility that you know i really appreciate about pirate that we don't pay influencers
so because most of us waste of money anyways they just they'll just pump and dump your
point even if you do pay them and there are ways of time most of them aren't good people by
and then they took trash right after you pay them
yeah exactly so that's uh which pirate is very very unique and the fact that we don't pay influencers
you go and talk to marketing people in the crypto space they're like oh you need to pay this guy and
they send you a pricing sheet or cost you 25 grand to go on bitboy or something like that and
like what are you guys i don't know what they're talking about they're just trying to make money
and it's just a you know i think it was more than that for bitboy he was one of the top
i had a list bro i used to have a list i don't know where it is but thousands each one of those
influencers thousands bro thousands they made i i mean it's it's and and then and then you see
and then i see like people like arin day out there and and roger there and i mean you really
think those guys care about privacy i mean i think i think he's more like a parrot he's just
repeating things he just learned and and and he goes on stage and he goes oh look what i just
learned guys you could put this to trade over and this to this it's it's silly it's silly because
you you're not really embracing privacy you can't go both ways you know you can't sit there
and say oh i like transparency and i like privacy you can't do that like i hate people that do
that they you can't tell me you love bsv and you love pirate at the same time it that that just
makes no sense i don't know i go on rance sorry well yeah we don't we don't pay people we don't
pay influencers around here and i really appreciate that most of them are any new users they bring
to you will be crappy users and they're not gonna be passionate people who are trying to you know
find a replacement for fiat you know they're just gonna be pump and dump boys that you know
will just pump and dump your project so it's just a waste i don't i don't really follow
any crypto influencers i get my grip i follow some developers and stuff like that but
these crypto influencers are a joke so did you say something low fat milk i thought i heard
you say were you trying to chime in i was just giving lutes a hard time i was gonna
does i came tongue-tied i was gonna say i was gonna cook the burgers
yeah low fat low fat is old school man love you bro exo skeleton says we can uh name a
pirate pirate topia i think yeah it was exo skeleton yeah that'd be fun man we'll organize that
yeah we're still supposed to go to new york we're still supposed to have a barbecue at draith's
but uh yeah we haven't done that yet all right let's chase him down make him honor that
yeah that's great is there anyone else out there that has anything to chime in
questions comments anything interesting going on out there
all right let me make sure the chat doesn't have anything going on
hey uh hey the johns going up no go ahead lutes the johns what why don't we uh for the next monthly
update why don't we get vik shawarma in here you know we could interview him i would that would
be awesome would the monthly update be the best time to do that or should we do like a twitter
space or something or do you think uh i think combining the two and one would give us more uh
you know more umph to get more people here yeah i was planning on talking to because vik's going to
be at monarotopia i was gonna corner him and uh talk to him while we're down there so i would uh
yeah i'll talk to him and see if we can get him on a update or a twitter space at the very least
he's very friendly to party likes my pirate tweets sometimes so oh yeah yeah they'll get
wallet someday i met him before and his wife he's a really nice guy yeah he seems really
everybody everybody has good things to say about him so i'm definitely that's one of the guys
in me trying to talk uh talk to uh this next weekend cake wallet is coming out with all kinds of
crazy things so be cool to get him here and you know you can explain to us all the features
of cake wallet yeah they really are doing they're cool guys and i got a cool product too i
like cake wallet i like it a whole lot better once they get pirate on there so
but we're gonna do our best to try to make that happen no no promises oh yeah definitely no promises
but uh i'm gonna be talking to him this week cake wallet is good edge wallet guys those
are the only two you should be using as far as third parties i've been on these uh i've been
on x or some of these chats and a lot of these chats are convincing people to use consult custodial
wallets and the reasoning for that is because it's easier to install um i mean if you don't know how
to download a wallet and install it i mean it's kind of the same thing as downloading a third
party app and installing it i really don't see the logic um i mean i'm not seeing the logic
and what they're saying so they're obviously got an agenda and they're trying to get everybody
into these custodial wallets right so you gotta be careful right it's it's the word custodial itself
is bad uh you know it's a self you want a self-owned wallet right you don't you want a self-hosted
wallet you don't want anybody else to host your wallet for you because when your money is not in
your wallet it's in someone else's and it's not your coin anymore your keys your coins
you know and even if you're using uh you know pirate chain's light wallet you can still run your
light wallet off of your treasure chest full node you know so if you have like a lap you have a full
node at home you have a laptop of light wallet or something you can configure it to run off of
your uh treasure chest wallet it's got port port forwarding i think it's called so if you guys
uh are running life if anybody out there has treasure chest and light wallet look into that
it's not that difficult and and then you're running off your full node that you have going back at home
that really is like the most essentialized way to do it
so uh make sure you guys look into that
all right let's see well we're uh you guys you guys also should know that you should never
change sand coins from one exchange to another exchange i want you guys you guys should
know that that's like basics okay if you're using bitcoin never send the bitcoin from one exchange
to another exchange you never do that yep i've seen people get their counts frozen and stuff like
that for going from like trade over or something to coinbase you know so yeah lucky if they send
it back yeah you'd be lucky if you get it back yeah oh yeah yeah if you can't prove like a lot of
times these exchanges will you know give you a certain amount of time to prove where you got
funds from uh and that you got them legally but a lot of times there's no way to even prove that to
them like if you you know if you sold your friend a guitar for you know five thousand pirate chain
or something yeah that five thousand on your wallet you don't have a receipt anywhere or
any way to prove to this exchange so they'll just freaking lock your account and keep your funds
and they say once you can prove to us then you can get your funds back but there's literally
no way to prove an in-person transaction so just don't they just don't leave funds on
exchanges you know if you buy some withdraw them immediately you know if you're there to cash out or
something sell sell your coins immediately and send it to a bank account or whatever you're doing
but definitely don't leave them there it's not just it's not just them like going belly up like
you know ftx or one of these other exchanges it's a risk it's also just a risk of them you
know being dicks and demanding these uh unreasonable compliance so don't don't leave
coins there any more than you're willing to lose you know look so if you haven't got that yet i don't
know how to make it any more clear you gotta don't i know it's on exchanges i know it's a lot more
difficult with local minero being down guys uh it was definitely a blow to the economy local
local minero was a big you know it was a big deal um and they took that down to all right so uh
you know oh there's another another method i'm going to tell you about right now okay guys uh
you could buy could buy gold and silver with crypto there's a lot of websites that will accept
crypto directly for uh for gold and silver now you could buy gold and silver you can even go
to your local pawn shop you know they might accept bitcoin i'm pretty sure they will
uh buy gold and silver when you want to cash out um and then and then if you really need fiat
you know go to another shop that's buy and sells gold and they'll they'll they'll buy it from you
for cash so that's a method you could use okay um you know and and and they don't mind
doing anything everything under the books because most of those places are shady anyway so
yeah exactly so yeah gold and silver are still incredible tools just because we have uh you know
digital gold and silver uh it doesn't mean that gold and silver are completely useless i got a nice
little stack of silver at home and i try to buy a little every year so and yeah there are probably
a few sites out there that accept crypto and i just got uh i think it was an exoskeleton that
gave me this idea the other day because we have monazon now where you can make orders off of
amazon privately using pirate chain or minero and several other points uh but they sell gold and silver
on amazon so i'm thinking about using monazon to buy some silver off of amazon with pirate chain so
i will update you i'm gonna try to do that for christmas by some silver for christmas for people
so i'm gonna let you guys know how that goes because yeah i think we can buy gold and silver
with it right now and you can do it privately if you're not familiar with how monazon works
um basically they have people they call them full fillers i believe
that you could sign up to be a full filler and collect a fee for it but
basically you go on there and uh you want to order something i'd say you want to order a
basketball off of amazon uh you go on the website uh and place the order or actually the
full filler places the order on amazon for you they use their own personal amazon account
and they have it shipped to one of those amazon boxes you'll see them outside
gas stations or shopping plazas especially in bigger cities they have these amazon boxes
that it's shipped there and you get a code that unlocks the box that has your product in it so
you don't have to give your name or address and obviously none of your card information is there
because you're paying in pirate chain so it's just about as anonymous as you can get the only
real uh vulnerability is that there's like cameras on the which there always are cameras on those
amazon boxes so technically you'll be on camera going to grab your package but it's still in way
more private way and i believe it's a five percent fee on it which goes to the full filler so you can
make money both ways if you're someone who wants to be a full filler make a little bit of extra
pirate chain or minero uh or if you want to be a purchaser you can find them both at monazon
m-o-n-e-z-o-n mona remember remember monazon uh the reason why it's doing good is because it
filled the gap what happened was purse that i-o was huge for years i mean i like nine years it's been
going strong this thing purse that i-o they just recently they well they took it down a while a
few months ago i think some way maybe longer uh and mod and i would i came out when it was going
down and i was telling you guys this is an opportunity you know so it was nice that
minero took that opportunity i saw it before it even happened all right uh there's also bit gree
maybe if you guys want to contact them that like monazon uh where where maybe we could get pirate
on there uh one is called bit gree b-i-t-g-r-e-e it's it's a similar concept and uh and then there's
another one i could find the names to see if i can reach out to them and uh i think i found them on
twitter i'll see if i can reach out to them yeah it would conversation see if they'll be
willing to have pirate on there there's another one i'll get the name eventually it'll come to
me uh big reason to me whenever you do it but these guys are making bank bro because purse
that i o went down right these these services took up that once three services are are fulfilling
that niche of that one service yeah it really is incredible because as of right now you could buy
anything you want off of amazon with pirate chain which is pretty incredible i think there's
they literally sell absolutely everything there so uh no excuses now so yeah go and use monazon
for your for pirate chain black friday uh for support our merchants you know
that's uh that benefits the ecosystem too just using your money preserving your privacy that's
what it's all about and it's that time of year so if you consider yourself a real pirate and you
don't buy even one christmas present with pirate chain then i don't believe you you need to go
out there and spend some of that i know you want to hold on to it because you want to spend
you know your crappy fiat but you know holding it's how we get rich using it's how we change the world
you know that's how that's how i look at it and i want to change the world not just make a bunch of
money so well uh we're closing in on an hour i want to try to keep this under an hour for
the people who come back and listen to it on youtube and other platforms they don't have to
anything to say go ahead and raise your hand so we can get you in here
bit off adludes bit off b i t o f f is the other one okay i'm putting in my notes now
so you know see if they could do the same thing like monazon and get us in there
yeah yeah i'll reach out to them then oh yeah thanks
all right well i'm going to go ahead and wrap up uh don't forget to keep your eye out for
