I I rung it in at the the Podkoff ball down at, Sailor's Mansion for the hundred k party, New Year's Eve party. And,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-65" data-t="65">it was a good time. I had a lot of fun.</span></span></p>

That's where I think we gotta start here.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-72" data-t="72">What</span> <span class="cue" id="t-73" data-t="73">give us a rundown. What was what were you thinking? How did you get to this</span> <span class="cue" id="t-78" data-t="78">Saylor one hundred ks Bitcoin podcast party? The biggest Bitcoin podcast</span> <span class="cue" id="t-83" data-t="83">and Bitcoin podcast party</span> <span class="cue" id="t-85" data-t="85">in this industry</span></span></p>

On and on, it was awesome.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-89" data-t="89">What was that like? How did you get there, and and what did you see?</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-93">1:33</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-93" data-t="93">I got there because,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-97" data-t="97">American HODL</span> <span class="cue" id="t-98" data-t="98">brought me in as his plus one. I was not at the level of influencer yet to be able to get my own direct ticket. So,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-107" data-t="107">American HODL made me his plus one, and I, was able to last minute flying down to Miami</span> <span class="cue" id="t-114" data-t="114">and, hopefully work my way up the power rankings of the podcasting influencers to, you know, get myself in there for future future invites to the sailor sailor yacht.</span></span></p>

This was a potentially a life changing party</span> <span class="cue" id="t-129" data-t="129">to attend, and you were there.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-131" data-t="131">Did</span> <span class="cue" id="t-132" data-t="132">did you see</span> <span class="cue" id="t-134" data-t="134">Dennis Porter?</span></span></p>

I got to say hi to him briefly too. As I was getting off the yacht, he was getting on the yacht. And the yacht, just to explain here, there was a formal valet</span> <span class="cue" id="t-145" data-t="145">shoe check.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-146" data-t="146">You had to check your shoes with a instead of a coat check, there was a shoe check. So everyone</span> <span class="cue" id="t-151" data-t="151">you had women in their, like, really nice dress heels and men in their really, really nice,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-156" data-t="156">shoes, and they had to keep taking them on and off.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-158" data-t="158">And,</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-159">2:39</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-159" data-t="159">as I was taking putting my shoes back on, Dennis was taking his shoes off to get on the yacht.</span></span></p>

And then</span> <span class="cue" id="t-166" data-t="166">oh, I will let Richard ask some questions about this party, but do you and this is just a wild conspiracy. Do you think that</span> <span class="cue" id="t-173" data-t="173">that</span> <span class="cue" id="t-175" data-t="175">that shoe check was potentially the CIA trying to get feet picks?</span> <span class="cue" id="t-180" data-t="180">Not only all of all the influencers.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-182">3:02</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-182" data-t="182">Not only feet pics, but I think it was also a little bit of an analysis of seeing how many steps podcasters get. They could put a couple Bluetooth sensors in there, and they could geo track them. And, they would be able to, you know, see making sure they're getting their step counts. And I'm pretty sure Lubbka</span> <span class="cue" id="t-197" data-t="197">had some something to play there to make sure all of the influencers were getting their steps in.</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-202">3:22</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-202" data-t="202">He was definitely an inspiration, if nothing else, just being there.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-206">3:26</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-206" data-t="206">Yeah. He was very</span> <span class="cue" id="t-207" data-t="207">next level when it comes to surveillance.</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-210">3:30</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-210" data-t="210">I I kinda would've figured it would've just tracked everybody based off their cell signals. That might Oh, the cell signals. Yeah. I mean, like, for any of these big events, I'd always advise not bringing your actual day to day phone, just like any any major Bitcoin event. I mean, there's been plenty of stories of people getting picked up if you've heard of stingrays.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-226" data-t="226">They're specialized devices that basically emulate cell towers. They're they're totally illegal,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-231" data-t="231">but you basically could spoof to,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-234" data-t="234">via cell network and then get access to phones and a lot of data that way and intercept stuff. Yeah. It's pretty nasty stuff.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-240">4:00</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-240" data-t="240">No. Non complying government agencies are the the main users</span> <span class="cue" id="t-245" data-t="245">for that type of thing.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-247">4:07</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-247" data-t="247">Yeah. No. I mean, it's a very, powerful force multiplier in our day and age of digital stuff to just be able to put a massive dragnet like that. And and for high end sophisticated stuff, they don't</span> <span class="cue" id="t-255" data-t="255">even</span> <span class="cue" id="t-257" data-t="257">property. They could just be on the other side of the water and just, like, pointing it in that direction.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-263">4:23</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-263" data-t="263">I think, I think that</span> <span class="cue" id="t-266" data-t="266">being in that environment on a yacht in Miami, a city like Miami with its reputation, with the Bitcoin</span> <span class="cue" id="t-273" data-t="273">ethos and kind of this, separate money from state cipher punk ethos.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-279" data-t="279">It felt very</span> <span class="cue" id="t-281" data-t="281">non compliant that night that party probably felt very non compliant despite</span> <span class="cue" id="t-285" data-t="285">being</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-286">4:46</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-286" data-t="286">highly surveilled, highly compliant, very, you know, KYC to the match. Right? And it's but there's something fun about that. That's why I think the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas</span> <span class="cue" id="t-296" data-t="296">is gonna be even better than the 100 ks party because that is the ultimate city. Like they have TSA, all the surveillance, it's built in. They don't have to the lines aren't gonna be long like they were in Nashville. It's gonna be there's gonna be cameras everywhere. KYC everywhere. Why us? You will be able to smoke cigarettes inside</span> <span class="cue" id="t-314" data-t="314">and you will be able to spend saps on things that, you know, maybe a year to the strip club where you go to one of those spots and you it's gonna be it's gonna feel very non compliant, but in fact, it's legal there, right? So it's it is compliant. So it's we have it's like we're building this bubble of,</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-332">5:32</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-332" data-t="332">really compliant ways. It's almost like AI where you feel like you're in a new a new world. And maybe that's what hyper Bitcoinization could be like.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-341">5:41</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-341" data-t="341">No. I want, you know, going into the conference, if they're gonna kind of vet a couple strip clubs and get them all on Nostr, so you could do zaps</span> <span class="cue" id="t-348" data-t="348">zaps for dances. I think that's a pretty good innovative way for being able to do peer to peer transactions in a really, clean way. And it's it's a lot easier than dealing with dollar bills. It feels so much better to get a thousand sats.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-360">5:60</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-360" data-t="360">I think I think somebody should start a business where they integrate Aldi with all the,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-366" data-t="366">you know, the</span> <span class="cue" id="t-368" data-t="368">Saw machine. Slot machines. Right? You just log in with Aldi. You get your lightning wallet. Boom. You just instead of buying credits or putting in tokens,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-375" data-t="375">just do it right there. Integrate with your nostril,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-377" data-t="377">with your lightning wallet.</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-379">6:19</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-379" data-t="379">You should be able to also get markers like like credit lines of credit based on how many Twitter followers you have. Like, that like, you should be able to basically take your your Twitter x payouts and put them directly into the casino. So you could just show, like, hey. I make a couple thousand dollar a month influencing on Twitter. You should give me a $10,000 marker. You know what I mean? Like, you should be able to, like it's like a social credit score that you can actually monetize.</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-400">6:40</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-400" data-t="400">Yes. It's</span> <span class="cue" id="t-402" data-t="402">I've been saying this forever that if you're trying to rent an apartment</span> <span class="cue" id="t-406" data-t="406">or get a, you know, a short term loan and being able to</span> <span class="cue" id="t-410" data-t="410">to publish, give them your fountain boost and show them the fountain boost you get as a Bitcoin podcaster,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-415" data-t="415">That should count as your,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-418" data-t="418">as your income so that you are deemed credit worthy to, you know, find a place to live.</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-423">7:03</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-423" data-t="423">Yeah. We need to be able to integrate the taxes better to be able to show proof of income. That's a really important point to kind of, be able to bootstrap us into the new age of influencing and hyperbitcoinization.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-435">7:15</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-435" data-t="435">Well, one one thing I'll say,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-437" data-t="437">you know, when you're an individual that can actually afford taxes,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-442" data-t="442">you feel like you don't need privacy</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-444">7:24</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-444" data-t="444">as much. Well, you're able to buy privacy in other ways. Right? You're above you have you make enough money above board to pay your taxes, but then you're probably</span> <span class="cue" id="t-454" data-t="454">wealthy enough to have</span> <span class="cue" id="t-456" data-t="456">ways of sheltering your wealth elsewhere. Right? So you get to have your privacy somewhere else. Whereas the the day to day working man doesn't have that luxury.</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-464">7:44</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-464" data-t="464">If you have $10,000,000</span> <span class="cue" id="t-467" data-t="467">in Bitcoin ETFs</span> <span class="cue" id="t-468" data-t="468">and you are able to afford your taxes,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-472" data-t="472">you have kind of earned the right to have 10,000,000</span> <span class="cue" id="t-476" data-t="476">in Bitcoin cold storage that you just kind of don't have to pay taxes on. I think that the IRS kind of is starting to see that, hey, this guy can pay his taxes.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-486" data-t="486">Let him have a little cold storage Bitcoin.</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-489">8:09</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-489" data-t="489">Yeah. Did you see that story this week? I don't think I'll pull it up, but there was this guy who lied about his taxes with his, Bitcoin earnings. And so now the IRS is demanding that they have access to the wallet.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-500" data-t="500">Yes.</span></span></p>

He was required to reveal his keys, as the headline said. Yes. That that brings me that brings me to Anchor Watch. Alright?</span> <span class="cue" id="t-510" data-t="510">Full disclosure,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-512" data-t="512">I'm very bullish on Anchor Watch and what you're building over there.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-515" data-t="515">And I've because I firmly believe that Bitcoin is our insurance.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-519" data-t="519">It is is a especially as a plan, it's our insurance.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-523" data-t="523">It's insurance on your future and on your time.</span></span></p>

    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-546">9:06</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-546" data-t="546">That's right. You almost could view it as a way as insuring your insurance is like reinsurance. Right?</span> <span class="cue" id="t-552" data-t="552">And so,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-554" data-t="554">it's interesting because the way Bitcoin has always developed up to this point</span> <span class="cue" id="t-558" data-t="558">as a sovereign individual, you're doing something that's called self insuring. What that means is you're owning all of the risk.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-565" data-t="565">Right? And that's why we have seed phrases. That's why we have middle plates. It's why we do multisig.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-570" data-t="570">It's why we do air gaffing. That's why we listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week. Yeah. You know, in insurance, you actually have you have to do forty hours a year, to be licensed in insurance. They're called continuous education like credits.</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-583">9:43</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-583" data-t="583">And I just view that every week I'm putting in my Bitcoin continuous, you know, education credit dues by listening to those podcasts. I'm I'm actually working right now with the state regulators to to be able to get credits for if you listen to enough Bitcoin podcasts that you can kind of get credit towards your insurance licensing.</span></span></p>

It was a huge jump point because everyone had been using, like, multisig since 2012.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1541" data-t="1541">It really hasn't changed. There was a small change in 2014 with pagescript hash. But besides that, everything was just a multisig.

I'll give you guys a little bit of a preview. What I'm thinking about doing is throwing a whole Bitcoin onto one of these and giving all of the seed phrases for the customer keys</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1892" data-t="1892">to to Twitter</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1894" data-t="1894">and be like, okay. Can you take the funds? And just to be able to prove that, like, as a lockbox, this is very resilient.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1901" data-t="1901">I have I have full confidence in that nothing would be lost, but I think it'd be a fun experiment because everyone,</span></span></p>

And you could, you could, like, anchor watch to post a video on Noester one day, and then they could post something in a podcast, or then they could post something on a different platform. If you went to each one and you found it, and you got you collected all the keys,</span></span></p>

You could try.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1930" data-t="1930">It'll be time locked for a year, so you won't be able to do anything. So before then, we'll be able to move the money out, which is kind of going to the whole value prop of how the technology works. Is that even if someone broke into your house and stole your cold card and stole your ledger and stole all of your signers,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1943" data-t="1943">the funds aren't lost.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1945" data-t="1945">It's a whole different paradigm in how that works. You can lose a key. You can lose all of your keys even, but the Bitcoin itself is still sitting there at the address and it's still spendable. What if they what if they what if they steal your face?</span></span></p>

You so this actually talks about the insurance side of things. Is that in the event,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1977" data-t="1977">under coercion or whatever reason, you actually convince us to cosign the transaction and the funds move. Right? If it's a wrench attack, right,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1985" data-t="1985">that's actually insured. You can see here I have Anchor Watch swag.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1989" data-t="1989">We have,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1990" data-t="1990">actual wrenches, bottle openers, so you can open up your Bud Lights and your Budweisers and,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-1995" data-t="1995">be able to,</span></span></p>

In the event that there's actually a theft in the event where,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2003" data-t="2003">the funds are like at least stolen under coercion,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2006" data-t="2006">that's actually a covered loss.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2008" data-t="2008">Right? If an actual wrench attack happens, that's a covered loss. Now there's a couple of things of, one, you have to file the claim. It has to be a criminal investigation.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2015" data-t="2015">We're talking about, like, a violent course of acts. So we're talking about, like, probably FBI and getting government agencies involved because a serious crime has happened in a theft.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2024" data-t="2024">But we go through that claim process. If we go through it, we believe it's all honest and everything. We pay out the claim. And then from there,</span></span></p>
    +
    +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-2033">33:53</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rob Hamilton</b> <span class="cue" id="t-2033" data-t="2033">actually, this is a really interesting thing, is that,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2036" data-t="2036">basically the property is owned by the carriers at that point. So very much in the same sense, if you get into a car accident and you and they, like, they buy you a new car, the the insurance company owns the scrap metal to the car. It's very much in the same way with this, or even maybe a better example is with a fine art painting. If someone steals</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2053" data-t="2053">fine art from a museum and the insurance company pays out the claim, the insurance company now owns the painting. They have the legal claim and title to it. So they are then highly incentivized to be able to do that,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2065" data-t="2065">to be able to go back and try and reclaim those funds. So what we view is that the tech covers a lot of the, mitigations and risk mitigation, but for the things that the tech cannot cover for risk mitigation, that's why you have the insurance. So that that sounds everything about Edgar Watts sounds very interesting. That's why I'm so bullish.</span></span></p>

I say it as just providing value. Like, are you getting fucked every time you go to the grocery store and you go, buy a chicken sandwich? Or you go to seven Eleven, you buy a pack of cigarettes? Like, are you getting fucked? Like, it's,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2107" data-t="2107">we're pretty face up about the nature of the transaction.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2112" data-t="2112">Ultimately, I think this is just something that's</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2114" data-t="2114">part of that,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2115" data-t="2115">ability to make it safer for people to feel comfortable holding keys.

Just in the same way, I don't think Unchained or Casa are fucking you. Right? Like, I think, like, being able to offer people to help ways of being able to help secure their Bitcoin is a way to be able to,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2139" data-t="2139">increase adoption and, you know, kind of decrease stress when it comes to actually using your Bitcoin. I will say, on this side, it's also a fully regulated thing.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2148" data-t="2148">And since it's it's a there's actually an insurance contract, you it is KYC required. Right? So you lose privacy.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-2156" data-t="2156">That's just part of the nature of if you can't give a insurance contract to a random NIM. Right? You have to actually know the counterparty because it's a full contract. So those are the things to be cautious and aware of.</span></span></p>

You you what you actually could also do is you could have your mistress and your third wife and your fourth wife all leveraging this time lock as well. Right?

So you can make sure that you're not all you're not you're you're gonna be able to not go all in on the first wife.
