You should go</span> <span class="cue" id="t-35" data-t="35">to Prague Power</span> <span class="cue" id="t-37" data-t="37">USA</span> <span class="cue" id="t-38" data-t="38">because,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-39" data-t="39">wow, talk about</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-41">0:41</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-41" data-t="41">a bunch of nerds and total sausage fest. I you know, when I think of metal music, and I'm experienced with metal music in The United States, I think of kinda like the working class</span> <span class="cue" id="t-52" data-t="52">individual. I think of like a mechanic, not Bitcoin mechanic, like a real mechanic. Somebody that actually fixes things instead of just, you know, fiddling with, you know, Plaid's emotions</span> <span class="cue" id="t-62" data-t="62">all day. Just, you know, blaring some, like,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-65" data-t="65">Metallica or some Patera or, you know, maybe some some newer stuff, some Battlecore, As I Lay Dying,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-72" data-t="72">Avenged Sevenfold,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-74" data-t="74">you know, something like that. Working in their mechanic shop, they they got some high testosterone</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-78">1:18</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-78" data-t="78">because they're, you know, lifting heavy things and and doing real work. But, you know, the the prog metal</span> <span class="cue" id="t-84" data-t="84">genre</span> <span class="cue" id="t-85" data-t="85">is a new genre</span> <span class="cue" id="t-87" data-t="87">to me, and it's just it it it's been, you know, eye opening</span> <span class="cue" id="t-91" data-t="91">to realize that there's these</span> <span class="cue" id="t-94" data-t="94">other subcultures</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-95">1:35</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-95" data-t="95">out there that are significantly</span> <span class="cue" id="t-98" data-t="98">more nerdy than the Bitcoin ecosystem. I I I just thought we were pretty nerdy,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-103" data-t="103">but turns out, you know, maybe not so much or or maybe not so much anymore</span> <span class="cue" id="t-109" data-t="109">at this point. It's</span> <span class="cue" id="t-111" data-t="111">it's kinda been cool. Women like to hang around</span> <span class="cue" id="t-114" data-t="114">at at least a lot more than this. But, you know, but it's been, very illuminating</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-118">1:58</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-118" data-t="118">in a lot of ways, being</span> <span class="cue" id="t-120" data-t="120">on this side of the music world, you because as you said,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-124" data-t="124">an area I've not seen before, even consider me a embedded journalist</span> <span class="cue" id="t-129" data-t="129">on the tour right now. And, you know, it's been cool seeing these guys</span> <span class="cue" id="t-134" data-t="134">and the way that they operate behind the scenes. They're they're true professionals, true professional musicians, just really, dedicated to their craft. And I don't know. I I mean, I think this is one of the coolest experiences I've had in my life to be able to do do this. I know there's gonna be a lot of our listeners</span> <span class="cue" id="t-152" data-t="152">or going to be at their show in Chicago,</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-157">2:37</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-157" data-t="157">which is gonna be exciting to hang out with you guys there.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-160" data-t="160">Looking forward to it. But that that's why I've been</span> <span class="cue" id="t-165" data-t="165">posting less and</span> <span class="cue" id="t-167" data-t="167">and and not as active and and why we didn't record this past week. I Ron and I had a scheduling</span> <span class="cue" id="t-172" data-t="172">issue, large part because of this what's going on with this tour. And</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-176">2:56</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-176" data-t="176">I look forward to</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-179">2:59</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-179" data-t="179">when this is over, just being able to buckle down. Waha, one of our subscribers and and and listeners, he's on this tour with me, and he keeps on asking me when are we gonna put out the the new</span> <span class="cue" id="t-190" data-t="190">vehicle weekly episode. He's been Jonesin', and I've been jonesing to record something</span> <span class="cue" id="t-195" data-t="195">because, folks, it has been</span> <span class="cue" id="t-198" data-t="198">a wild time in Bitcoin right now. And it seems like I I think a lot of us are under the assumption it's going to continue to stay wild here for a little bit. That, you know, as we're entering into the first turning, you know, there are headwinds.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-214" data-t="214">It's rebuilding</span> <span class="cue" id="t-215" data-t="215">everything</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-216">3:36</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-216" data-t="216">is not an easy process. And we're seeing it now. It's the liquid network</span> <span class="cue" id="t-220" data-t="220">just got hacked for 4,000</span> <span class="cue" id="t-222" data-t="222">Bitcoin, which is kind of impressive that they had for for people who are just starting to use Liquid in a variety of ways. There were there were some wallets like Nano Wallet, Bold Bitcoin Wallet, Aqua Wallet, and they were trying to get</span> <span class="cue" id="t-236" data-t="236">UST. I I think people are realizing that, Ethereum and Tron probably have a better UX for sending your stable coins on than on liquid, so I don't know what to make sense of that. There there's some concerns around the Lightning Network.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-251" data-t="251">There's just a a lot</span> <span class="cue" id="t-254" data-t="254">of services that are getting hacked. Trezor</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-257">4:17</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-257" data-t="257">is essentially, you know,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-259" data-t="259">publishing</span> <span class="cue" id="t-260" data-t="260">unintentionally</span> <span class="cue" id="t-261" data-t="261">or, you know, they're everybody that bought a Trezor, like, their their information's out there now, which is cool. I mean, it's just the there there's this</span> <span class="cue" id="t-269" data-t="269">realization I think many of us are coming to that if you use a Bitcoin service of any sort, whether it's an exchange, whether it's a wallet, you should probably use a throwaway email, and you should probably</span> <span class="cue" id="t-281" data-t="281">either use a fake address or, you know, if you're ordering it to your home, move away</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-287">4:47</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-287" data-t="287">from that address because</span> <span class="cue" id="t-288" data-t="288">it will be</span> <span class="cue" id="t-290" data-t="290">available. Everybody will be able to search it here soon. I mean, the same thing goes for if you buy</span> <span class="cue" id="t-297" data-t="297">a pack of cigarettes</span> <span class="cue" id="t-298" data-t="298">at</span> <span class="cue" id="t-299" data-t="299">a convenience store, and you have to KYC, you have to show them your ID, you buy, you know, some beer or whatever.</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-306">5:06</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-306" data-t="306">All of that data is out there too. Your driver's license has is probably getting sold on the Internet if you, KYC'd.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-313" data-t="313">So this is really an argument</span> <span class="cue" id="t-316" data-t="316">for the importance of of non KYC services of, you know, buying your cigarettes non KYC. But, yeah, we're we're we're watching all of this play out, and there's a bunch of flaming going on. You know, Cali and Red Team pointing a finger at at Sampson saying that they told Sampson</span> <span class="cue" id="t-332" data-t="332">that that they had a vulnerability to clean it up. And, you know, Sampson said that he doesn't listen to people with</span> <span class="cue" id="t-339" data-t="339">AI psychosis,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-340" data-t="340">and so they're they're slinging mud back and forth. It's getting messy. It's getting entertaining.</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-346">5:46</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-346" data-t="346">You know, wallets are being unusable</span> <span class="cue" id="t-349" data-t="349">right now. The the wallet</span> <span class="cue" id="t-351" data-t="351">issuers or or creators or maintainers or whatever you wanna</span> <span class="cue" id="t-355" data-t="355">call it, they are</span> <span class="cue" id="t-357" data-t="357">not giving their customers any guidance on what to do. I think white boy summer</span> <span class="cue" id="t-362" data-t="362">is officially over. We've made out it out of that now that we're past Labor Day, and</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-370">6:10</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-370" data-t="370">people are crashing out at BB again. The war in The Middle East is popping off. You you probably been watching it. You probably been watching</span> <span class="cue" id="t-379" data-t="379">gas prices going up. Maybe back to monitoring the sis situation again as it is</span> <span class="cue" id="t-385" data-t="385">getting a little bit more interesting. You know, these wars, they they happen, you know, there there's an excitement around the novelty of them of monitoring the situation of the of the new thing that's happened, but, you know, the way that our brains are conditioned in the news cycle, they get boring after about two weeks unless there are perpetual escalations.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-405" data-t="405">And we've been dealing with years of</span> <span class="cue" id="t-408" data-t="408">the news telling us that Russia's threatening to nuke everybody,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-412" data-t="412">and, you know, similar things, news about somebody bombing somebody somewhere. And so people were kinda getting bored of it. But now that the Houthis</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-420">6:60</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-420" data-t="420">run around trying to block another</span> <span class="cue" id="t-423" data-t="423">straight in the Red Sea, you know, and and people are screaming about diesel prices, people are getting more interested in in wanting to monitor the situation again. And and this is all coming at the end of</span> <span class="cue" id="t-435" data-t="435">white boy summer. So folks, I hope that you had a wonderful white boy summer, that you took some time off, that you got some mosquito bites. And and boy, did I get mosquito bites. I just got destroyed</span> <span class="cue" id="t-447" data-t="447">this summer just contributing to the local circular economy when it when it comes to the the the food system. You know, the Bitcoin people, we like the idea of circular economies. We wanna build a circular economy of people exchanging</span> <span class="cue" id="t-462" data-t="462">Bitcoin with each other, you know, and part of that is, like, you we wanna buy our beef. But, you know, getting mosquito bites and and mosquito bites mosquitoes are an important part of the food chain. They're the base even though they're a nuisance, and it is giving back. It is exchanging in this</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-478">7:58</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-478" data-t="478">value for value</span> <span class="cue" id="t-479" data-t="479">ecosystem building I forgot what Rev Hoddle would call it,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-483" data-t="483">natural capital, maybe. But, yeah, I mean, it's been a busy summer. So I saw some of you guys at Lake Satoshi.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-489" data-t="489">It was,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-490" data-t="490">you know, a fun time. It was really overshadowed by the cold card incident. It's it's one of those minutes, you know, where I'm recording this on 09:11.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-501" data-t="501">A lot of people, you know, been talking about</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-503">8:23</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-503" data-t="503">where they were September 11 when the towers fell, when when, Howard Lutnick,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-509" data-t="509">you know, pulled that fast one on everybody,</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-512">8:32</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Rod Palmer</b> <span class="cue" id="t-512" data-t="512">as well as the other guys.

Some of which were impacted by it, some of which weren't, but it was all, you know, nerve wracking</span> <span class="cue" id="t-527" data-t="527">nonetheless. So, you know, a lot of people are I've I've heard a lot of people questioning self custody. They've been questioning their conviction in Bitcoin. You know, things have we we had a pump. We had a big pump, and it's been trading sideways since. And and I don't think really</span> <span class="cue" id="t-542" data-t="542">anybody really knows where the price is going. Many of us believe it will go up eventually. You know, in these moments, in these bear market moments of uncertainty, you just kinda many of us just resort to repeating the pump swap talking points that we've heard over and over on podcasts. Like, you know, when you're going to sleep at night and you're having trouble sleeping because you're thinking about the Bitcoin price, you're just repeating to yourself over and over again. Nothing stops this train. Nothing stops this train. Nothing stops this train.

And individuals</span> <span class="cue" id="t-632" data-t="632">that have a stake in the future and have not made it are gonna come up with creative solutions on not only how to get out of these troubling circumstances that we find ourselves</span> <span class="cue" id="t-645" data-t="645">in, these trying economic times, but also how to thrive</span> <span class="cue" id="t-649" data-t="649">through them.

But going through the end of the year, I think it we're gonna see this massive rise of Kayfabe.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-692" data-t="692">It's very predictable on the social media sites, and and we're already seeing it a lot. But they're gonna be deploying influencers</span> <span class="cue" id="t-698" data-t="698">left and right to be trying to convince you to vote for a politician like it matters. Like, the the whole world seems to be kind of posturing around this next selection</span> <span class="cue" id="t-709" data-t="709">of politicians. You got the Iranians and the Houthis</span> <span class="cue" id="t-711" data-t="711">are trying to, you know, influence the world economy.

But I think as you know, nothing particularly</span> <span class="cue" id="t-720" data-t="720">is going to change as a result of them in regards to the the broader macro stuff going on. There's there's gonna be individuals in power that are still wanting to sacrifice your children to Moloch. There are still people that are gonna try and make your life hard by making it unaffordable for you to pay your taxes. And, honestly, it is just like these these things are are bipartisan issues, but, you know, there there is some concern coming up about the radical</span> <span class="cue" id="t-746" data-t="746">nature of some of these candidates</span> <span class="cue" id="t-749" data-t="749">that are in this new political cycle.

If you've not heard of Jesse Wells, he is</span> <span class="cue" id="t-777" data-t="777">a great folk singer,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-780" data-t="780">and Bubba turned me on to him. But, yeah, after this, definitely go look him up, listen to some of his songs. He he kinda is a is a folk singer that that sounds like a Bitcoiner, like a doomer Bitcoiner in a lot of ways. And I was in Indianapolis. I was at this concert. I was surrounded by a bunch of, like, shitlabs, and he was like, he's not necessarily a shitlobe. He doesn't really seem to have any sort of, like, clear political agenda other than just, like, like, being frustrated with the the current happenings,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-806" data-t="806">and and he seems to have his, finger on the pulse pretty well. But you can just tell. You just look around. Like, these people are worn out. And</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-815">13:35</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-815" data-t="815">while many of them were a bunch of, you know, shit libs or, you know, whatever, there there were a a variety of individuals</span> <span class="cue" id="t-821" data-t="821">and from all different persuasions. Well, you just, like, see in their eyes, they're just tired. They're they're tired of the bullshit. They're tired of the Epstein files. They're tired of not having faith in the country. And and on the Converse, I went to a rodeo recently, and it it was quite an odd experience because</span> <span class="cue" id="t-838" data-t="838">they had much of, like, the the pro neocon,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-841" data-t="841">kayfabe that you would expect at,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-844" data-t="844">you know, a function like that. But it was just it it was very strange because of the way that the kfabe was presented. They had a they had an elephant that they were marching around, and it was very hot. The elephant looked really sad, and they were marching an elephant around in front of, like, 5,000 people,</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-861">14:21</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-861" data-t="861">people and they played the national anthem on a speaker. They had 5,000 people at this event. They couldn't they couldn't figure out how to get somebody to actually sing it. And it was just, like, one of the strangest spectacles where, you know, there was a time in American history where the the neocon,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-876" data-t="876">kayfabe hit hard, where people were excited about the prospect of going and bombing a bunch of brown people in The Middle East to, you know, to get revenge from nine eleven. And it's it's not so much the case today. Like, you know, a lot of individuals will look at the Iran war, and they</span> <span class="cue" id="t-893" data-t="893">will say that it wasn't you know, it hasn't been explained to them why the war is being fought. They don't understand</span> <span class="cue" id="t-900" data-t="900">what's going on. You know, the the excuse</span> <span class="cue" id="t-903" data-t="903">for bombing Iran right now and screwing things up with the global supply chains is that they can't have nuclear war or else they'll bomb BB in Israel. That's an excuse the American establishment is making. But there is a much larger global event happening with a restructure</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-921">15:21</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-921" data-t="921">of the production of energy and the ownership of energy. And I was talking with Rod,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-926" data-t="926">and one of the things we we were talking about</span> <span class="cue" id="t-929" data-t="929">is</span> <span class="cue" id="t-930" data-t="930">about these crises that come up. And what Trump learned from COVID was that you can, create a crisis, and then you can do whatever you want. You can cut a bunch of regulatory red tape. You can roll out a vaccine that makes everybody infertile in terms of gay and get away with it, and nobody will question it. And they'll they'll</span> <span class="cue" id="t-948" data-t="948">largely thank you for it. Now what we're watching right now is we're seeing</span> <span class="cue" id="t-953" data-t="953">a massive increase</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-955">15:55</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-955" data-t="955">in power consumption around the world with these data centers, and we're seeing an energy crisis.

And so I I don't necessarily have a</span> <span class="cue" id="t-972" data-t="972">strong, conclusive opinion yet, but I'm watching these things happening. And just knowing that many of the things that we're told aren't accurate. Many of the things that we hear on podcast from these doomer boomers are not accurate either. And that there there's a lot going on. So it's just it's been something to watch for as I'm reading Mark Goodwin and Whitney Webb's work as they're talking about the development of what's happening in Argentina,</span> <span class="cue" id="t-996" data-t="996">South America, in Ohio, and all these various places, the the connections, the people involved.
