0:00Richard Greaser Shit's popping off again in the Middle East. The plebs are crashing out about b b, and it feels like the world is falling apart. Not you though. You are a stoic. B b isn't going to ruin your summer, and with the fourth of of July right around the corner, there are only three things on your mind. Your wife's tits, grilling hot dogs, and all the mosquito bites you've been racking up from long nights under the stars. Plebs may say that you are supporting CSAM by not crashing out but you don't care what plebs think in the first place. The fourth of July is around the corner and it is going to be great because you are actually free. Free of slop, free of b b, and free of bullshit. You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. You are a proud white boy, and fate has called you to the grill. This July 4, turn on some Toby Keith

0:49Richard Greaser and light that grill up. It's sweaty and get your wife all horny if you are unbothered by all the nonsense. This is White Boy Summer, folks. Don't forget to enjoy every moment of it. This is Buster Cherry, and you are listening to the Bugle Weekly. Welcome, folks,

1:05Richard Greaser to the Bugle Weekly podcast. I know you you missed this, and we are back for another episode this week. It is a special episode. Rod Palmer is out of the office. So today joining me is fundamentals. And while I don't have a university to give him an honorary credentialed journalist degree like, professor Crowder gave to Hodlonaut, this past week, I will be deputizing,

1:34Richard Greaser fundamentals for this episode because, as you know, we believe that, credentials matter quite a bit. Fundamentals coming back from a trip to Europe. He's been interacting with the Europores a lot. We're gonna get updates on BTC Prague, on how the,

1:53Richard Greaser the descendants of, you know, just the weak gene pool that, you know, refused to come to the new new world and speak English correctly are doing. But, yeah, how are you doing today, fundamentals? Feeling ready for this? I feel like

2:11Fundamentals I should have had a feel like I should have a voice mail or whatever down here, but I'm good, man. It's good to be here. Good to be back.

2:19Richard Greaser Been a while. I don't understand what you're saying.

2:22Fundamentals I'm saying it's good to be back, and it's been a while.

2:26Richard Greaser No. I mean, about the voice mail generator. It's just I don't know.

2:30Fundamentals But I've already I've already whiffed on one attempt at being stupid.

2:35Richard Greaser What's that? We'll give you a mulligan. So, you know, for for the listeners, they're they're definitely aware of you. They're aware of your podcast. Yeah. I mean, you've got, like, 17 podcasts, I think, that you're currently running. It seems like the Magic Internet Math podcast has gotten a lot of traction recently.

2:55Richard Greaser But you're stepping into a different realm. You're stepping into filling the shoes of credentialed journalist, Rod Palmer. Do you have any, like, do you wanna, like, flash credentials or, like, you know, justify the listener why they should take what you have to say here seriously today?

3:12Fundamentals Well, couple things, you know. I'm I'm I'm a credentialed actuary, highly credentialed, very decorated. And, yeah, I've been probably I've been podconfing quite a bit, So I would say that my, my media credentials are up there with anyone right now. I'm hobnobbing in VIP section, in speaker section, in conferences. I gotta say that's that's gotta put me up there with, you know, I got the right color bracelets

3:39Fundamentals to get me into, the, you know, to get me away from the animals at the conferences.

3:46Richard Greaser Totally. So we we had

3:49Richard Greaser a a fountain boost, I think, last week asking about the status of Podkoff. Is it alive and well? What's your take on that? Where is, how's Podkoff doing right now?

4:00Fundamentals I think they are on the ropes, but they're fine. But they've been so infiltrated by people like us that and they don't know if they I don't think they realize it.

4:13Fundamentals It's really strange. Right? You have people like Jack Crews, who would you say he's part of PodConf?

4:20Richard Greaser I think he's trying to be, but I think he's making it hard for them to want him to be a part of it. Like, so they're dealing with people like him.

4:28Fundamentals Right? And you know they don't like it, But they're dealing with people like him trying to coop their conferences and, you you know, pull stunts on them to be like, oh, the you know, they're censoring me. They're not allowing me. You know, I they censored my slides. So, like, they're dealing with people like him just trying to railroad

4:51Fundamentals poor moderators who just wanna, you know, who just wanna go to a conference and have a good time and deliver some deliver a little bit of signal. Right? And then you're dealing with Jack Crews, who were like, no. You I'm I'm I'm gonna pass slides about the fucking Landauer attack, and they're totally gonna be part of this presentation. Right? Nobody wants to deal with that. And then after the fact, he's, like, screaming that they censored him and all of this, even though that was the that was the idea to begin with.

5:21Fundamentals So, like, Podkoff is dealing with shit like that. At the same time, they're dealing with people like us who are also going, witnessing part of this, you know, part of this thing too, and I don't know. It's it's an interesting time. It's maybe it's getting better. Right? Maybe it's just getting better because it's not as aligned on just getting stupid cheap engagement

5:43Fundamentals as it used to be. Also, at market bottoms like this, this is probably the best time to be around all that PodCon stuff. Right?

5:51Richard Greaser Yeah. Flushes out a lot of, the noise and the tourism individuals that that tend to be Podkoff and have a little bit more conviction like the, Tim Kotsman types that have, dedicated their entire lives to Bitcoin.

6:08Fundamentals Well, I have to say I, you know, have been recently observing the tweets from Camp Nakamoto. That like, honestly, the image improvement they made from last year is incredible.

6:22Fundamentals Like, they actually that actually looked like a legit good place to go this year. Whereas last year, it was like, hey. Let's hang out with Larry Lippard. And let's you know, it was like a it was almost like it was marketed as, like, a pay to hang out with plebs, PodCon plebs. Whereas this year, it looked like it was real signal, a good time,

6:44Fundamentals and not as kinda cheesy like that. And they had cool people. They had, like, really good people. They guys like Ben Jessamine, you know, there. Right? So I don't know. Like, I have to give them gotta give them props for changing the image and making it almost like a dis making that like a desirable place to go.

7:03Richard Greaser I I thought the same thing looking at it. It was, I think it's kinda hard from a starting point when you get a bunch of grown it's like grown men calling themselves plebs. You know? It it it just seems kinda silly from the offset, but,

7:21Fundamentals just

7:21Richard Greaser the the the starting point getting tough.

7:24Richard Greaser Well, the starting point of of calling, you know, a gathering of grown adults together and calling it camp, like summer camp. Like, summer camp is for children. And, yeah, I mean, being able to work with that and and actually make it look like a engaging and interesting activity is definitely

7:45Richard Greaser an impressive feat in and of itself.

7:48Fundamentals I thought so. I was I was legitimately impressed. I was like, this is not what I thought it was, you know? Not what I thought it was. It was actually I love camp. I grew up going to camp. I went to overnight camp as a when I was a, most of my childhood, my mom worked at an overnight camp so that my sister and I can go to it, and we it was great. It's a great time. And so I always it gets nostalgic when I see pictures of people enjoying themselves at at camp. It's cool. It didn't look like that last year when they were just, like, let's hang I'll go hang out with, like, Luke Broyles and Larry Lapard and pay whatever it was. It felt like, like, it felt like it was, like, pay to hang out with these people. Whereas this year was, like,

8:30Fundamentals pay to enjoy the amenities of a relaxing weekend at camp and for good content. I mean, that's I don't know. It's like a big image improvement.

8:38Richard Greaser You know, a lot of our listeners probably don't understand the dynamics of, Jewish summer camp. It's a very common thing in in American Jewish culture. Did you have to, like, wear yarmulke at summer camp, you know, when you're going in the canoe on the the river? No? No. It was not a it was a non yarmulke camp.

9:01Fundamentals There were, like, they we did have services, though. Like, Friday night before before dinner, we would say, like, a couple of prayers and go eat dinner. That's about as Jewish as it got there.

9:15Richard Greaser What was the name of the camp?

9:17Fundamentals The name of the camp was called Oxford Guilford, and it was in a town called Guilford, New York. I don't know where the Oxford came from, but the Oxford was the boys' camp, Guilford was the girls' camp, and, I guess they were two camps that merged together on the same property. So there was boys' side and girls' side separated by about a quarter of a mile of field.

9:37Richard Greaser So you you spent all summer staring across that field

9:41Fundamentals Hell, yeah. Imagining what was going on over on the other side. Well, I mean, yeah. We would walk over. It was only a quarter of a mile, but yeah. Oh, you could intermingle with each other? Yeah. Absolutely. It wasn't Oh. Yeah. Totally totally intermingle. We had, the, like, the dining hall was unified, so we would walk over there for all the meals. It's You know, it was it was Jew y, but it wasn't, like you know what I mean? It was, like, very Jew y camp.

10:10Fundamentals Mhmm. But it wasn't like it wasn't religious yarmulke Jew camp.

10:16Richard Greaser Makes sense. Do you do you ever miss wearing a yarmulke?

10:20Fundamentals I don't think so. I never liked it, to be honest. Yeah. Never really liked it. Never cared for especially in public. It was thought, like, why do I have to wear a yarmulke in public? This is bullshit.

10:33Richard Greaser Was it was that something culturally you've experienced in in the past is having to wear a yarmulke in public? When I well, when I was part of, like, when I was a, like, a teen

10:42Fundamentals and I was part of, like, Jewish youth group, we would go out in public, like, to whatever trips, and we were supposed to wear yonkes in public. I'm like, this is this is not good. This is not this is not something I wanna do. I mean, I understand wearing it inside of a house of worship and showing respect. I think that that always made sense to me. I mean, it's still a choice

11:09Fundamentals or but, you know, that that resonated. But, like, being outside at, like, the batting cage, you know, or a Knicks game or something like that and still having to wear your yamka, I was like, this isn't why what why are we still why do we still have to do this? What do what do you think the purpose was? It was just, like, you know, reminding you of your culture everywhere that you go and the importance of it or just trying to avoid imagine. I think I mean, I I think I honestly think it was just a way that they knew where we were. They just knew, like, we wouldn't get lost. They would look for fucking

11:46Fundamentals they'd look for people who were wearing amicus, like, in places that where no one's supposed to be wearing one. That's how they knew that's how they knew it was us. Like, the adults in charge. It's like wearing a fucking tag, you know? Like, this is how you know? Like, they could have just given us, like, a pink hat, which would've sucked too. Just as embarrassing.

12:06Richard Greaser Yeah. Matching T shirts. That's a very common one. You see you go to the airport, and you see the school trips. They're all wearing matching T shirts. Oh, yeah. Both of my trips to Europe, we had these big, big schools on a trip.

12:19Fundamentals Both flights.

12:20Richard Greaser Yeah.

12:22Fundamentals All had the same t shirts, but they didn't wear yarmulkes.

12:25Richard Greaser I mean, imagine being in an environment like this today and having to walk around with the yarmulke.

12:30Fundamentals Yeah. Especially an airport. Like, Jesus. I wouldn't like it. You know? Do you know that I was invited to a Shabbat dinner at Prague? And it was pretty great. And I they, they told me to keep the yarmulke, and I still have it. That was wild. I went with Shadrach.

12:48Richard Greaser Barn Miner sent me a yarmulke for Christmas. Yeah. The base it's a baseball yarmulke.

12:54Fundamentals It's so it's like the least holy yarmulke ever made, but also the funniest.

12:59Richard Greaser Well, I've I've seen some pretty funny ones. I've, because I grew I grew up around a lot of Jews and, like, being in the media, I've been around a lot of Jews. So, you know, I've, like, gone to, like, bar mitzvahs and stuff, which is, like, the only time I've been in a Jewish synagogue or whatever. And I I've seen yarmulkes of, like, sports teams.

13:21Fundamentals That's pretty funny. It's the it's like a it's capitulation, you know? It's like, oh, if I have to wear this thing, I should at least express myself, treat it like flare.

13:31Richard Greaser Yeah. You know?

13:34Richard Greaser We should make you and and Craig some fish yarmulkes.

13:38Fundamentals Oh, they have them. Just I mean, as you you may or may not have seen in Vegas, but fish is a very Jewish phenomenon. Yeah. For you know what I mean? For pop culture phenomenas, it it skews highly Jewish. Yeah. And there are yarmulkes. I have I have a donut. I know I have one somewhere because there's pictures of me celebrating Hanukkah wearing it.

14:02Richard Greaser I got a donut yarmulke somewhere. Maybe that's part of my resistance to fish. It's like Asagoy.

14:08Fundamentals That's understandable.

14:09Richard Greaser Yeah.

14:10Fundamentals It's one of the last I mean, you'll remember it. It was, like, one of the last things you got to do before White Goy summer started.

14:15Richard Greaser Gosh. How how's White Goy summer been for you so far? Have you felt left out of all the festivities?

14:22Fundamentals No. I've been in Europe, and it's really strange to right? It's just it's different. It hits different in Europe. Right. All white goy activities hit different in Europe. How how so?

14:34Richard Greaser It's like they don't know about it. They don't know about a lot of things.

14:38Fundamentals White koi summer is not in effect at any of the conferences I went to in Europe.

14:43Richard Greaser It's really funny when, there's, like, I I hear this from time to time that, like, America has, like, no culture, like, no history or whatever. And they're like, you go to Europe and there's, like, all this history and, you know, you go into, like, a small town in Europe versus, like, a major city in America. And it's, like, you know, thousands of years of, like, culture and history versus, like, you know, hundreds of years. America's 200 birthday is right around the corner. Yeah. And

15:13Richard Greaser it's, like, that's not entirely true because, like, the the people here, like, have a tremendous amount of history. And it's, like, all the the best parts of, you know, the of the individual's lineage that, you know, came over has been brought here and kinda meshed together. And so it's like, you know, it's like the all star team versus, like Yeah. Just like the regular team. And I feel like, you know, a lot of these small towns in Europe that have all this history, they're like, you know, the minor leagues compared to, like, having

15:46Richard Greaser all the best sports ball players on, you know, a single team, which is The US.

15:52Fundamentals Like, I'm in Philly, and there's a good amount of history here, but it's still, you know, I guess it pales in comparison to some of these villages in Europe that are thousands of years older, but I think you're right. I mean, I think we came up faster because we were better. You know? Four hundred years of America is, like, I don't know, four thousand years of Europe. Right?

16:15Richard Greaser Well, geographically, it's just so much better in every way. And Yeah.

16:20Fundamentals Because we got to do it. We got to develop our history without dealing with being invaded by other other countries all the time. Right? So the velocity is much faster is much higher here.

16:35Richard Greaser Well, we're being we're supposedly we're being invaded by the Fabians right now. And I'm curious on your thoughts on that. Are you Who Fabians the Fabian? Who Fabians the Fabian? You know, who are the real Fabians is the question?

16:48Fundamentals Are, you know, are the Fabians are the Fabians who we think who we're meant to think they are, or are they the people telling us scaring us about the Fabians? Are they the real Fabians?

16:59Richard Greaser Well, I think, you know, it's, you're probably familiar with the Salem witch trials. Probably

17:06Fundamentals I'm you're probably intimately familiar. Yes. I am, actually. Very familiar.

17:12Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, the the Puritan culture, you know, and the concerns around, you know, witches and stuff like that. We're we're seeing that play out in Bitcoin culture today. And I think it's important Who are the witches? Yeah. So the witches are shitcoiners.

17:32Richard Greaser The witches are Fabians. The witches are

17:35Fundamentals oh, oh, I see. The people that are being blamed for the fact that everyone thought they'd be rich by now. I mean, that that could be a part of it. Yeah.

17:46Richard Greaser But I I think it's, like, you know, also

17:49Fundamentals Is David Bailey a witch?

17:51Richard Greaser Well, I think the only way to to to figure this out is, like, we have to have trials. We have to have fair trials where David Bailey is put on trial. You know, I might have to stay in trial. Jack Cruz, was accusing me of,

18:09Fundamentals being Israeli, I think Yeah. Which was confusing to me. Very sane. Very sober. Very sane. I mean, I guess we all are gonna have to stand trial. Right? If that if that's the case. But when does Jack stand trial? Who puts Jack on trial?

18:28Richard Greaser Jack Dorsey?

18:29Fundamentals All the Jacks. There's a lot of Jacks causing fucking problems these days at, you know, the Jack wing of PodCon. You know, that's you need a Jack bracket of Maxi Madness.

18:41Richard Greaser The jacks are definitely much more influential than the Bens. That's pretty clear. But, yeah, I mean, I think we need to figure out a structure for how the trials will be run. I think, You know, Matt Kratter, Bitcoin mechanic, or and and Luke are probably good candidates for facilitating the trials. You know, Justin Belcher and and Hollow Knot are good individuals to, you know, be prosecutors

19:07Richard Greaser in the trial. You know, there needs to be there needs to be a series of judges. There needs to be a series of, you know, lawyers and advocacy. Like, you have Shinobi being, like, the the defense representative, and, well, he might be placed on trial himself.

19:26Fundamentals Oh, for sure. But you know what you're missing? You know what you're missing from your contract to these trials? Where because I don't know that I don't know where they were in Salem, but where are the Jewish lawyers and judges? Where do they fit in? Do they are they excluded? Are they not allowed to preside over the trials? Yeah. I Only GOY only GOY lawyers?

19:49Richard Greaser Yeah. This is this would be a mostly Goy experience because, you know, in in the Puritan culture, like, Jews are

19:60Fundamentals essentially considered devil worship. We were worse than the witches. There's no trial. We don't even get trials. Right?

20:07Richard Greaser I I don't think there were very many Jews in the in the new world at that time.

20:12Fundamentals Well, I mean, the his the the revisionist historians would have you believe they were all of, like, the slave owners somehow, even though we really weren't there.

20:22Richard Greaser Well, I just you you know how Jews are. Like, they they tend to like Oh, I do. They like they like comfort. You know? They like, you know, they'll they'll stay in a hotel instead of, you know, camping or, like,

20:36Fundamentals like, they they they had they had it pretty made in in Europe at the time. Right? I mean, there were there was a lot of, you know Did we? I don't did they? We. They. I don't know. Did they have it made? I don't know. I don't I think a lot of the people that ended up here were shipped out of they were basically sent out of prisons, like, out of British prisons and sent the Jews, I'm saying, that came over here were shipped over here. They're like, oh, cool. We could same thing with, like, I think Australia, like, this, like, they we for Britain, it was like an opportunity to just fucking get rid of just get rid of the Jews they didn't want. Sent them over here as indentured servants. And, I mean, I guess if some of them became slave owners, that's a pretty remarkable arc, I have to say. Well, I'm I'm not talking about the pleb Jews. I'm talking about the,

21:23Richard Greaser like, the bankers and the the

21:26Fundamentals bankers. The crypt the crypto Jews who were hiding in plain sight, and I don't know. Yeah. I guess. Right?

21:33Richard Greaser Yeah. They you know, the ones that were sitting in position of power, like, had it made, you know, they they were just, like, waiting for the new world to to get settled for the for the goys to go and die on the frontier. They weren't they weren't looking to come and get on a wagon over here. They

21:50Fundamentals yeah. They were like, let us know when there's a village.

21:53Richard Greaser Yeah. Exactly. Shower. Like, once New York City was, you know, developed a little bit more, they're like, okay. You know, we can go there's a hotel there. There's running water, you know, things like that. And

22:06Fundamentals I know people are reacting to that shower joke just that I just made. Like, did he just make a shower shower joke about the new world? But, yeah, I mean, you it's I think you're right. We did they weren't, they weren't exactly the pioneers by and large.

22:23Fundamentals So maybe they don't get to preside. I mean, is that do we just sort of agree we exclude Jews from the fucking witch trials, that the pleb witch trials?

22:32Richard Greaser Yeah. Like, I I think they were, like, mostly they were mostly, settled in, like, major cities, I think. Like, why if you're a Jew, why would you go to Salem and hang out with the Puritans

22:43Fundamentals when they're all Because they needed lawyers for the trials. I mean, obviously.

22:47Richard Greaser Yeah. But, like, it it was dangerous to be a lawyer in the trial Understood. Because the way that, you know,

22:53Richard Greaser it's

22:54Richard Greaser Is it gonna be dangerous to be a lawyer in in our blood trials? I I yeah. Absolutely, it's dangerous because, you know, if you are advocating for the the unpure, then you yourself may as well be unpure too. It's like, you know I mean, I I don't know. Maybe maybe there's some ways to to protect yourself. Like, you know, you could be a lawyer, but you support BIP one ten.

23:22Fundamentals Are there any lawyers that we know of that support BIP one ten? Yeah. O Ocean's lawyer.

23:29Richard Greaser I mean, it's just

23:31Fundamentals who? Yeah. Who's that? I don't know. I mean, like, of the lawyers we know. Like, I know a few we know a few lawyers. Right? Most of them aren't even Jewish, the the lawyers we know. Right? Guys like Makita, Thomas Pacia. Right? We know those guys. They're lawyers.

23:46Richard Greaser Joe Calazar. Joe Calazar.

23:49Fundamentals Zack Shapiro. He's Jewish. But any of these guys? Are any of these guys, like, BIP one ten defenders, legally speaking?

24:01Richard Greaser Well, I mean, the thing with lawyers is they'll they'll support where they get paid. And so, like, I think one of the problems with BIP one ten, you know, that individuals like Chris Guida, you know, have been pointing out is that they don't have a lot of institutional support in that. So I I think if there's more money involved with it, if they if the plebs had more economic power, then the lawyers would probably support it. Too bad that they don't. I mean,

24:29Fundamentals shouldn't the plebs have this kind of economic power by now?

24:33Richard Greaser Well, you know, part of being a pleb is not having economic power. I guess,

24:38Fundamentals Right. So it's so a movement on behalf of the plebs who are built not to have economic power is already you've already priced out any good lawyers.

24:50Richard Greaser Yeah. Totally. It's

24:52Richard Greaser I mean, you know, the the pledge role in society is to, you know, demand that other people fix the problems and, like, voice their opinions when the problems aren't being fixed correctly. You know? Because they they go to individuals in authority, and they they stomp their feet and demand that the change happens by their effort. And, I mean, that that's essentially what being a club is. It's a it it's the converse of taking personal responsibility. And,

25:21Richard Greaser yeah, anyways. So, yeah, tell tell us about your, You know, what were your experiences going to these conferences? How do they compare to, like, American conferences? You you probably interacted with a lot of European Bitcoin podcasters. How is that different than, interacting with American

25:39Fundamentals Bitcoin podcasters? So I was at two conferences in Europe. One was I went to Ireland. It was outside of Dublin, and this was quite an experience. Great. It was actually a a great time. I would definitely go back. But it was, like, in the boonies in a it was in, like, a hotel in the boonies that we were all at. It was kinda like being on a cruise ship. And, you know, we were all in very close quarters with each other, but it was a really it's quite a good time.

26:07Fundamentals You know, the thing about these conferences is you can fight like, you fight with these guys online all the time. You go to a conference and everyone's sort of, like, on their best behavior, feels like. So, like like, I spent a good amount of time with people that I fight with online, and it's almost like we had a temporary truce, mostly because we were all in the same location for a few days.

26:30Fundamentals And then and then it ended, and we're all right back to right back to the bullshit. Then I came home for a couple weeks and went to Prague, and Prague was actually kind of cool. Do you know Prague is a Czech Republic's a pretty base place. I don't know if you'd know a lot about the country, but, they kept their, like, they kept their old money.

26:54Fundamentals So, like, when you everything's still priced in Czech crowns. They're, like, every like, a pack of gum is, like, 8,000,000,000 Czech crowns. Mhmm. So, like, when you every you know, that's the unit of account there. They still so they still have it. They have, like, anti communism laws in the Czech Republic. It's like a really nice just really nice. It's nice and fucking dirty at the same time. Like, you it's, like, actually really nice, and, like, you could be in some super industrial area that looks like the worst of what communism had to offer. It's, like, all there at the same time. It's pretty cool. At the Czech at the Prague conference, there was a there was the PodConf piece of it, which was indoors, and then there was the little Czech corner where everything was going on just in in Czech language.

27:37Richard Greaser That was pretty cool too. Did you learn how to speak Czech?

27:41Fundamentals Well, no. But I did I did spend time there with a math professor who wrote a book on he wrote a book on Bitcoin and math. And we, you know, it's funny. Like, I was I was introduced to him by somebody who came to came to my keynote. And, he introduces me to this professor and he wrote this book and we were talking about math and the funniest thing happened where there's this guy, he didn't speak English. You know, he spoke Czech and, like, a bunch of other languages, but he didn't give a shit about English. He looks at the guy he looks at the guy that introduced me, and he basically is like,

28:14Fundamentals this guy he he checked in with him. He's like, ask him if he supports BIP one ten, like hoping, like I, he was like, is, he was like, is this guy a fucking loser? And I was like, no, we're good. We're good. It's really strange. Like this guy didn't speak English at all. Just that's all he wanted to know. Like, when I came over there was that I'm not I'm not a I'm not a BIP one ten guy, am I? I thought that was amusing.

28:39Richard Greaser That actually happened. Sounds like he was trying to qualify whether you were a club or not. He was trying to figure out if I was Jewish.

28:47Fundamentals Was he Jewish? No. I don't think so. I think Jewish people in the Czech Republic all speak English.

28:53Richard Greaser But what what was the culture like? What were the the major talking points? What was the, the mood like?

29:02Fundamentals It was I thought it was really chill. I I really thought the conference is interesting, especially if you contrast it with with Vegas. And maybe it's just because it's smaller. It wasn't that much I mean, it's not that it was that much smaller. There might have been there might have been 10,000 people there. I mean, it was, like, it was big. Mhmm. But it was a smaller like, it was in a smaller space. It did,

29:25Fundamentals interestingly, what Prague does is they have the BTC corporate day that's separate from the conference. So people come for that, but it's not the conference isn't corporate at all. Because it's the, all those people are excluded, you know, like it doesn't have any corporate content. If you, you know, so none of like the talks or the panels are like

29:45Fundamentals about treasury companies. That's all done the day that's all done the day before the conference at BTC corporate day, which famously, Jack Meyers hijacked from the audience,

29:57Richard Greaser if you heard about that or recall. What did he do?

30:00Fundamentals He basically do you remember do you ever see the movie Big with Tom Hanks? Mhmm. You know who you know when, you know when he raises he's in, like, the corporate presentation, and he raises his hand and goes, I don't get it. That's what Jack Mallers did. He basically raised his hand in the audience to Sailor and just like, I don't he's literally just like, I don't get it. And then he ended up on stage and they hijacked that presentation for an hour. All about Jack kind of playing dumb, saying, I don't get I don't get what you're doing. He was questioning STRC? Yeah.

30:33Fundamentals The whole notion of digital credits I mean, you know, maybe Jack is maybe Jack is the voice of the new generation, for all we know. But, this was strange, and it it wasn't received the way he thinks. I think he would have thought it was from every you know, I've heard about this from about a dozen different angles, and they all basically said that Jack kind of embarrassed himself on this.

30:57Richard Greaser Well, you know, the the big controversy that I saw around it was his foot his shoe attire. People were very concerned that he was wearing boots, so he he goes and tries to challenge Sailor toe to toe with this gay European boot and,

31:13Fundamentals That's the thing. You have to road test new footwear before you start challenging people like Sailor in it. This might have been Danny's problem too on the podcast. Like, we when Danny got attacked on his own podcast, he might have been wear he might have been wearing unfamiliar footwear when he tried to go at Sailor and just didn't he realized, you know, you have to road test your footwear.

31:35Richard Greaser Well, may maybe what it was is, you know, that Jack might have been genuinely trying to understand what Sailor was doing. And so he was trying to walk a mile in Sailor's boots in order to do that.

31:52Fundamentals Well, he could have texted him probably anytime. He didn't have to do it in the middle of a in the middle of a big conference in front of everybody with cameras rolling. So did you hear about it, or did you just Yeah. It was the talk of the conference, basically. And we went out that night. It's all anybody was talking about. Jack's antics, you know. And Jack, like, people wondering if Jack, like, if Jack actually understands see, that's the thing, you know. Because he was in unfamiliar footwear,

32:22Fundamentals and people are wondering if he was being sincere and didn't it was actually trying to understand this. People are like, well, so Jack is the CEO of a treasury company, and he doesn't understand this one basic thing. That's how it was interpreted. And And I think that's one of the first big misses of Jack's career where he was interpreted in a way where he wasn't expecting to be. Who knows? I had no idea what he was going for, to be honest. We'll we'll only know if we, like, we'll never know. We would have to go back and have him put regular shoes on for us to know what he was actually trying to do. I mean, do you think he was just crashing out, like, just about everybody

32:59Fundamentals right now? I think I think to an extent. Yes. I think he's this was one of the last panels of the day. Right? And I think he sat there in that he sat there in BTC corporate day steaming, wanting to get, you know, wanting to get a crash out out, and he waited basically, when Sailor was on stage, he couldn't control himself anymore. He's like, this is the time. Interesting. And I'm guessing the shoes started getting really uncomfortable. Like, he hadn't probably properly hadn't broken them in. Maybe he was getting some

33:28Fundamentals some cuts on his feet from them. It all just came out. But it he was not viewed well from that. I kept hearing about it I kept hearing about it the next day, the day after that. You know, people, for some reason, asked me what I what I they they thought I was there because I wrote a book about institutional Bitcoin. Except the problem is I don't, like you know, I was at Bitcoin corporate day in November because one of their because the sponsor wanted me on stage with them, and that's so I got to do that. But otherwise, you don't get to present events like that unless you're sponsoring

34:02Richard Greaser them. So they they had, like, one day that was about paper Bitcoin. And what what else is there to talk about in Bitcoin right now other than paper Bitcoin?

34:12Fundamentals Well, we had well, I mean, I was I was presenting at the Freedom Tech event, which was alongside like, I would have gone to Bitcoin corporate day if I wasn't doing the Freedom Tech event. So Freedom Tech's a big topic, I think, in The Czech Republic, and I thought that that was a pretty cool event also. And after the FreedomTech event, the same day, we went to this UN conference

34:36Fundamentals that was put on by My First Bitcoin. If you're familiar as a journalist, I would imagine you are. That was pretty cool also, but then when I say I crashed out, I, like, literally, I passed out. Like, I was too tired, and I fell asleep.

34:52Richard Greaser This seems to be a theme for you, is being sleepy. The travel

34:57Fundamentals the travel really I mean, traveling to Ireland and coming back and then traveling back to Prague was, pretty brutal for me. And that was the day like, that was the first day. So that was, like, the day I was supposed to sleep through, but then I had I didn't realize I was gonna have two conferences to go to. Interesting. Yes. I have sleep I have sleep issues. I'm a tired boy.

35:18Richard Greaser Well, you you know,

35:20Richard Greaser I think we all know the answer to how you fix it. You gotta wear the the orange podcaster glasses like everybody's wearing. That's true.

35:29Fundamentals Yeah. Why don't I do that? Do you have them? I do. I have I have I have a few pairs of them. I just you know what? That was gonna be my thing for a while, and then everyone started doing it, and I'm like, fuck it. Give me I'm just gonna accept the blue light now.

35:43Richard Greaser I don't wanna be I don't want that look. I mean, I think it's, like, one of the necessary things in in, like, your ascent into the PodConf ecosystem. Like, there's there's a lot of ways to fast track it. And the orange glasses, like, when you there's a few ways to show that you have clout in one way or another when you go on a podcast. Like, one is, like, having, like, a decent mic stand. Right? Yeah. The second is having, like, a Shure SM seven b, which I think you need to upgrade to. And no. That's not the SM seven b. That's the that's the lower tier one. And

36:18Richard Greaser Got some work to do. Orange glasses. You've got the the Bitcoin pictures in the back. That's that's pretty good. The Ungovernable Misfits pictures. How about my beefsteak hat? Yeah. The beefsteak hat is a big flex for sure. Should probably do, like, a guide, like the I I bet Green Candle would appreciate this a lot. Who would appreciate it? Green Candle.

36:42Fundamentals A guide to basically establishing your Pleb credentials on a podcast without having to actually subjugate yourself as a Pleb?

36:54Richard Greaser Well, I mean, nobody cares about Pleb credentials. Like, you know, PodCon has, like, really scorned the Plebs. And, you know, it's part of the reason why they're crashing out. It's it no. It's like the fast track to to so it's like you you have to have the basics down with your visual presentation. And then you need to like, Plumb Cruise did a has been doing a master class on this of, like, establishing the frame. So he's got his orange glasses up on stage, you know, lends a ton of credibility.

37:29Richard Greaser But after you have the visual presentation, then you need to like Italian jewelry too. Does he? May Madex jewelry, that's a good one.

37:39Fundamentals Yeah. Yeah. Madex jewelry.

37:42Richard Greaser But, yeah, after the visual presentation, which is only a small portion of it, I mean, the Simply Bitcoin guys have this down. Like, they they've really done a good job. And, you know, if you watch those shows, they they tend to bring people on that that have the the visual presentation down pretty well.

37:58Fundamentals How do you think that's gonna evolve with Mike Germano coming in?

38:03Richard Greaser That's a good question. I mean, you know, Mike Germano, you know, recently has had a lot of really short stints at different companies. And, so I don't know. I mean, we could see a pivot to AI.

38:18Richard Greaser I don't know if that's necessarily Mike Germano being responsible for that. But, I think I think it's just you know, it's hard if you're a media company. I think everybody's looking for the pivot, you know, and they're all watching each other. You know, BT sessions has kinda, you know, done the pivot into more of, like, a

38:41Richard Greaser a freedom tech style of of content, I believe. So, like, he's probably looking at guys like Ben Jordan that are really successful. And so simply needs to, you know, find that that vein.

38:56Fundamentals Find the vein and tap it. Yeah. And tap it. And,

39:00Richard Greaser I mean, there there there's a lot of possibilities like, you know, the BTS sessions, in my opinion, needs to be studying Linus tech tips. And, you know, Linus tech tips is like, you know, the more mainstream, like, trinkets and technology. And it's hard when you're pigeoning yourself into, you know, Bitcoin pleb trinkets. And, you know, there the the, like, general pleb trinkets

39:27Richard Greaser is a very big industry. You know, pods outside of Bitcoin love love trinkets too. And, Yeah. But inside Bitcoin, you have, like, half a cycle maybe to, like, capitalize

39:37Fundamentals on pleb trinkets. There's not much else. There's there's, like, no one else cares about Bitcoin pleb trinkets. Like, no one outside of Bitcoin cares about it. Right? That's true. Like, no one outside is, like, oh, yeah. Like, even, like, aesthetically, like, oh, that's I mean, that's kinda cool. Right? I mean, maybe there's some art that's kinda cool, but, like, for the most part, it everything in the pleb world appeals to wanting to end the Fed.

40:02Richard Greaser Well, I don't think they actually wanna end the fed. But, I mean, that's the appeal.

40:07Fundamentals That's the everything appeals to that.

40:10Richard Greaser Yeah.

40:11Fundamentals You have to. Otherwise, you're a you're considered a larp You're not actively trying to end the Fed.

40:19Richard Greaser If you're not LARPing, you're a LARP.

40:21Fundamentals That's right. It's the LARP paradox.

40:25Richard Greaser But yeah. I guess one of the last topics I wanna get your takes on, the status of paper Bitcoin right now. We were talking about STRC going down to a certain price. I I'm not really, like, familiarized with the mechanics of paper Bitcoin. All I know is some people were excited about paper Bitcoin. Summer, happening this summer. It seems like that has gone by the wayside, and it's been a very disappointing paper Bitcoin summer. You know, Steven Lobko has been

40:54Richard Greaser real quiet. People are making fun of David Bailey. The plugs are turning on sailor, which, you know, is, like, a huge development. And,

41:04Fundamentals So Steven came on my podcast, and that's some that's an episode people should listen to. I think I called it oh, I forgot what I called it already. It was, like, Better Bitcoin or something like that, Higher Thinking Bitcoin. And that was a really good episode. I haven't really heard much from Steven outside of that episode, but that was a banger,

41:24Fundamentals and people should go check it out. And, you know, I did write a book on how to properly pay for Bitcoin, and then this whole paper Bitcoin summer completely sniped it with something different. And I feel like I do feel like how I what I wrote about is aging well because of what because I didn't include any of this. So, like, once this once the dust settles on all this bullshit, people can start going back to the book and looking at

41:52Fundamentals what I was writing about and, like, okay. Well, maybe this is really what we should have done instead of chase some fucking golden calf, like, digital credit

42:05Fundamentals out the door. You know what I mean? So, like, digital credit is a spell. I don't, like, love it. This note this thing with STRC, like, people bought it at a 100, and now it's at, like, 75. But yet, it's still giving 11 and a half percent dividends. But it'll and then it will continue to give them the dividends for a while. But I think it's overblown, like, that Sailor's going to jail and all this stuff. I do think that's overblown by, frankly, low thinking plebs.

42:31Fundamentals But this whole notion of Sailor telling people to mortgage their houses to buy this. It's one thing to tell them this, to go buy Bitcoin. You know, I still, I thought that was irresponsible, but not, not nearly as irresponsible as go mortgage your house to buy my digital credit security. That's now trading it 25%

42:52Fundamentals below par. You know, like, that's it's at the very least, it's kinda scummy. I don't think it's illegal or anything necessarily, but it's kinda scummy. So, yeah, we're gonna wait for all this to, I think, shake out, Wait for the next wait for this market to bottom out. And then, you know, my book will be there. I will not I will not have to write a new book. I think it's aging quite well for what I covered and didn't cover.

43:19Richard Greaser I mean, how do you think it shakes out? Like, you know, Bitcoin has surprised everybody this week by hitting 58 k. Fifty eight k gang is up in arms celebrating, you know, cheering.

43:33Richard Greaser Bukele is really upset. He's threatening to do mass roundups of gang members again because he's afraid that fifty eight k

43:41Fundamentals gang has penetrated his country. Yeah. That's his Bitcoin rain dance. Like, that's how he rallies the price is by rounding up criminals. What about, Kim Jong Un? He's been quiet, but I I think he's still stacking and bullish. He's,

43:55Richard Greaser you know, the world's best Bitcoin president by far. You know, Podkoff continues to fail to recognize him for his visionary thing. But, you know, the the things I hear coming out of North Korea is the the meetups in Pyongyang and the rest of the country, they're not slowing down at all. Plebs that North Korean plebs are the the most bullish in the world. Podcasters aren't suffering from chat CPT psychosis like many Western Bitcoin Podcasters are, you know, they're

44:27Fundamentals Totally. Because you know who trained Kim Jong Un's father? Most people don't know this, but who trained Kim Jong Un's father was Pol Pot.

44:37Richard Greaser Little known fact. I thought it was, Stalin.

44:40Fundamentals Well, what what wasn't Stalin and Pol Pot in league? Weren't they weren't they bros?

44:47Richard Greaser To some degree. I mean, I think, those alliances are always complicated looking at you know, dictators can be friends up to a certain point. It's kinda like the Mean Girls

45:00Fundamentals in high school, you know, where they're all They don't always get along, but they definitely follow each other's playbooks. They understand like, they understand power, and they learn from each other for sure. Totally. And I think Pol Pot had a lot to teach the pleb Bitcoin generation of dictators.

45:20Richard Greaser Totally. Yeah. I mean, North Korea, the you know, somebody like Alex Gladstein likes to label it as a a dictatorship or whatever. You know what I mean? But Semantics. It's the People's Republic. The the Plebs Republic Democratic Republic Of North Korea. It's they have democracy in the name, and

45:40Fundamentals I think the reason why They have democracy and republic Yep. In the name.

45:46Richard Greaser And I think,

45:47Richard Greaser you know, people like Alex Gladstein and the Human Rights Foundation, they're they're not super big fans of North Korea because it, you know, kinda goes against the the state department's interest. But, like, yeah, I mean, it's just a North Korea's been a huge embarrassment for the West for a while that you have

46:09Richard Greaser a sovereign Bitcoin nation, you know, not taking loans from the IMF, retaining their sovereignty without

46:16Fundamentals yeah. It's a Yeah. They're they're, like, wearing the amicus in our face. Like, they're just kinda, like, you know Well, I mean They're flaunting they're flaunting it. I mean, it's breaking all the conventional,

46:29Richard Greaser you know, norms of everything that we know in the world is like they are a functioning sovereign nation without any Jewish lawyers involved.

46:38Fundamentals And it is That's the dream. I that's that is the dream.

46:42Richard Greaser I mean, it's,

46:44Fundamentals It's the dream for Jews too. You think we wanna be law you think, like, they wanna be all the lawyers? I think they have

46:51Richard Greaser higher aspirations for what they wanna do with their life too. I don't know. It's definitely a position of privilege, like, when you are a,

46:58Fundamentals It's a burden and a curse.

46:60Richard Greaser Yeah. But they might they might want better competition,

47:02Fundamentals you know, from other people, but I think they would like to go back to just being rabbis and not have to be everyone's lawyer. That's I mean So you'd be surprised to know how much Jews want this future, too. The shining North Korea future. Yeah. The city on the hill. That we all thought El Salvador was gonna be, but turned out not.

47:23Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, if your country can get destabilized by fifty eight k gang, like, it's

47:29Fundamentals you're you're not in the strongest position. But, yeah, it's, I think we have a lot lower to go, by the way. So, yeah, I think we have I think fifty eight k gang's gonna be crying in a couple weeks when we're at 45 k, and I I do think I think this ends with Michael Saylor selling a chunk, a large chunk of Bitcoin, and then sends us really down to the bottom,

47:53Fundamentals and then we we break free. That's like we break free of the spell when he finally parts with a big chunk.

48:00Richard Greaser Interesting. Well, we so you're bearish.

48:04Fundamentals No. I'm bullish that that will be the end, and then we can we can move we can finally move on from there. You know, I don't think that like, I don't blame Michael Saylor for a lot of what other people do. I just think the reality is his products got adopted by a bunch of retail people, and I don't think he I don't know if he was intending for that or not, but that's what happened. And he could deny it all he wants, but that's definitely seems to be what happened. And,

48:35Fundamentals so that's just now it like, always the path to the bull market, the path to the end of the bear is always like that one choke we gotta find that one choke point where you didn't like, where did retail come in and fully degen when they weren't supposed to? That's clearly here in STRC, and so that just needs to get it needs to get undone. And the way that gets undone is by sailor slaying slaying the beast

49:01Fundamentals and selling a bunch of Bitcoin and surprising the market. And then that, you know, it's sort of like it's gonna it's gonna create a whole new narrative going forward. A lot of people are blackpilled about Michael Saylor owning this much Bitcoin. Right? Like, oh, what does it even mean that he owns so much Bitcoin?

49:20Fundamentals Like, it kinda ruined people's dream of what Bitcoin was that just because Michael Saylor owns so much of it. So I think him relinquishing some is gonna give hope to a lot of the plebs.

49:31Richard Greaser Interesting. I mean, we we could see, like, the the US government's continuously taking larger and larger stakes in. I mean, pretty much all that needs to happen right now to get STRC back on track is for the government to threaten to ban it because it's too powerful. It's like this is the

49:51Richard Greaser the the marketing technique that is being used in this market over and over again. It's like, oh, ChatChaPT is too good. Anthropic's too good.

49:60Fundamentals Totally. We need a Mythos a digital credit version of Mythos.

50:04Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, we're kinda watching it with the stablecoin stuff. It it seems like that's what the the clarity act is. Right? Like, the Yeah. It's a good call. The governments are like, oh, these stablecoins are, like, too good. These yield bearing stablecoins, and, we need to take a look at it. And it's just you know, the the the American psyche, you know, and it's it's how it's always been. Like, you threaten to ban guns. You know, everybody goes out and buys that gun that they're threatening to ban or the bullets that they're threatening to ban. And, Americans like to stockpile. You know? It's just like it's the best the best marketing technique is to threaten that you can't have something, and then

50:43Richard Greaser yeah.

50:44Fundamentals So when when Sailor's forced to relinquish in Bitcoin, Americans are gonna be, like they're gonna be holy shit. If he if he had to sell, oh my god. No one's gonna be able to stockpile Bitcoin. I better go and do it. Better go get as much as I can right now.

50:58Richard Greaser Well, I I I think there needs to be a lot of, like, propaganda framing from the pledge sloppers in order to to create that. I don't know if they're as organized to do that because they they might be They're going to if so if the IMF

51:14Fundamentals acting against El Salvador is any indicator, Right? They're gonna talk about how based Sailor is for selling his vehicle. Yes. That machine will not fail us.

51:25Richard Greaser Yes. Probably. I I think that's a that's a safe assumption. You know, we know

51:31Fundamentals Every time he sells, they're gonna be like, look how based he is.

51:34Richard Greaser Well, the the problem with the, you know, this Pub Slop Industrial Complex is, they're they're so dependent on sailor thumbnails.

51:44Fundamentals Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

51:46Richard Greaser To to give viewership. I mean, this is

51:49Fundamentals The sailor thumbnail complex is a a beast in and of itself. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, Do they, like, teach that in journalism school?

51:60Richard Greaser No. No. They they don't. It's these guys aren't journalists, so they they have to come up with these different tactics that are very, like, dependent on, you know, algorithm trends and you know? When I was in journalism school, I never learned about an open mouth thumbnail, And, I don't know if that would have, you know, served me well or been, you know, an impotent or, sorry, impediment. But no. It's just a it's

52:26Richard Greaser a lot of journalists partake in in PubSlop, but it's credentialed PubSlop, and there there's a little bit more polish on it, a little bit more professionalism to it. And I think that's the professionalism of it all has has gone out the gone by the wayside, and and that's kinda what you're seeing, you know, with a lot of these YouTube channels.

52:50Richard Greaser And it's credentials matter, and they're mattering more than ever, you know, as we are fully in the first turning. You know, a lot of people are resisting that. You know, Brandon Quidim is, you know, fighting it as hard as he can. But, you know, it's just a a growingly clear reality

53:10Richard Greaser that you fight it if you want to, but you're gonna lose the fight. That's for sure.

53:16Fundamentals First turning is here. Oh, yeah. It's here. You're knee deep in it. Well, do you have any other thoughts before we wrap this one up and, get into the fountain boost for the show? No. It looks like we hit exactly an hour. This is perfect.

53:29Richard Greaser I'll go through and read this. Sasha,

53:32Fundamentals I will say, you should do you you should acknowledge the the subscribers more often.

53:37Richard Greaser Oh, I do. Every episode. Boosters. No. I do every episode. You haven't been listening yet.

53:45Fundamentals I I listened to I I did listen to last week, Banger. It was a good one. Well, I did, mention all the subscribers. I didn't hear it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I didn't hear it.

53:56Richard Greaser Oh, you should listen again because I did. Sasha, nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine sad said, what bugle listener is the strong strongest? Submit your sunset circuit results to Sasha Hodler on x. Farmed me to run as many push ups to two minutes, plank as long as you can, three minutes, rest in between each.

54:20Richard Greaser And, she's got an audio ad. I'm gonna splice it in the episode right now.

54:25Sasha Hodler Welcome to Sunset Circuit. Jacksonville Beach, where athletes of all ages come to test their speed, their strength, and their will.

54:38Sasha Hodler Who is the fastest 400 meters on the sand. Two minutes, push ups, one plank challenge. Last athlete standing claims the glory. Three minutes rest, then it's back to battle back. Cash prizes, cold card wallets, local swag bragging rights forever. And before the race begins, visualize

55:13Sasha Hodler cheering your name. See yourself standing on top because champions win the race twice. Wipe, wipe, wipe, wipe, walk, walk, walk. First in their minds. Then on the beach sheet she Featuring a live national anthem performance by Maggie Maggie and competitors ranging from kids to seasoned athletes.

55:37Sasha Hodler The question Sunset Circuit.

55:57Fundamentals It's a nice boost. 9999. That's a nice nice one.

56:03Richard Greaser Okay. Well, what do you think about this, like, feats of strength?

56:07Fundamentals Oh, I'm all for it. Piece of strength are pretty important.

56:11Richard Greaser I'd like to see, Boomer. I I expect Boomer. He's been he's been posting,

56:16Fundamentals a bunch of thirst trap. Oh, yeah. He's been posting glamour shots of his,

56:23Richard Greaser he's trying to get he's trying to get Everette Fenixson's

56:25Fundamentals attention, I think. You think? Yeah. He's gonna have to do better than that. Alright. Jolly Roger, 4905. I totally crashed out. NGL. Maybe I should remake the market. I think it closed because I was just quickly making a test for my agent

56:45Fundamentals and didn't put any effort into it and didn't change the default date. Thanks for your honesty, muscle muscle icon muscle emoticon. Sorry. Artist is not my ex wife, by the way. What is this boost?

57:02Richard Greaser So he, he put he created a, predicts market. He had an image for it that was, like, a Got it. Art piece from, like, his girlfriend or current wife or something, you know, of, like, some animated chick with her tits, and,

57:21Richard Greaser and the market was closed. And so he's just continuing the conversation, you know, about you know, describing his, crash out and, you know, why it happened. Yeah. I I've been on, and I've seen some, some strange markets, you know, that are open. I need to go check and see if they were closed. There was one that I was looking at that was really funny this week that,

57:45Richard Greaser it was about Matt Aldell admitting that he was wrong about BIP one ten, and there wasn't really a clear resolution of what that meant. And, so I I it's you know, Ron Ron and I were discussing this boost last week. View on PIP one ten, I don't even really know.

58:06Richard Greaser I don't think he knows either.

58:07Fundamentals Yeah. Okay. Curious. I guess not totally not understanding that boost has made me realize that you're right. I haven't been as up on the bugle as I as I have been in my in the past, say, two and a half years. And on one hand, I would say sorry about that. And on another hand, I'm guessing I still listen more often than you listen to my podcast. So

58:31Richard Greaser I'm okay with it, but I am noticing that. I've been listening to yours a lot recently, actually. I listened to quite a bit of the one that you did with your daughter. I went through all the fish ones. Oh, nice.

58:44Fundamentals What else have I listened that you've got? It's like, the one thing about traveling for me, it's been very hard to listen to podcasts. Like, the I don't know. It should be easier, but for some reason, it's much harder for me to listen to podcasts when I was traveling like that. Well, I mean, part of it is, like, when you're going to all these events, you're essentially living podcasts. So it's, It's, like, the last thing I wanna do is crack on a podcast necessarily. Not that, you know so but, yeah, that like, I don't like that I just read a boost and I didn't know what they were talking about, I should tell you. So, like, I'm definitely gonna go back and get back on the train here, listen to more of you guys more frequently. That shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't I shouldn't read a boost and not know what the hell they're talking about. It's a leading indicator of

59:28Fundamentals not good things. Alright.

59:30Richard Greaser Tim Satoshi, five hundred twenty one SaaS. Thank you for your time. Stack zero, five hundred SaaS. No comment. Thank you, guys.

59:38Fundamentals Okay. LocalBitcoins. I know who these guys are. Four twenty. So this is their ad. LocalBitcoins can find the intellectual Silk Road by listening by listing. Listing? Listening? Bugle news every week, but listening to Bugle news every week.

59:55Fundamentals Thanks for being thanks for helping Local Bitcoiners monitor the situation. Yeah. Shout out those guys. And you got Rev Huddle basically saying the same thing, but we should just read it out because that's what he paid for. If you're not listening to Bugle News, I highly recommend it. I look forward to every episode. 40 HPW starts with Bugle Weekly podcast.

1:00:18Fundamentals What are some of the top pods in your queues? That's a question from Rev Hoddle. If you'll go on Noster and answer him.

1:00:26Richard Greaser Yeah. That's,

1:00:27Fundamentals Looking forward to Lake Stacey and hanging out hanging out with Rev.

1:00:31Richard Greaser You've been in my rotation, Bitcoin and Dave Bennett. That's that's a good one.

1:00:37Fundamentals He's the man. I listen to,

1:00:41Richard Greaser rabbit hole recap sometimes as much as I can tolerate Marty.

1:00:47Fundamentals I do too. It's like, oh, it's like, you know, what is still nice to know what's going on in the world. They're probably the best at telling me what's going on in the world. Hell money

1:00:57Richard Greaser is in my rotation for sure. I've really enjoyed, Max had the guy from Phoenix Ammunition on the other day, and that was pretty cool. And you can actually go on Phoenix Ammunition's

1:01:11Richard Greaser website and buy ammo with Bitcoin. And buying ammo online is pretty nifty and easy. You just get it shipped to your doorstep as long as you don't

1:01:25Richard Greaser live in a super gay state. And, yeah, it's pretty it's pretty sweet.

1:01:33Fundamentals Nice.

1:01:34Richard Greaser If I if I had enough fountain boost, I'd be able to buy bullets with Bitcoin. And I do buy bullets with Bitcoin, but it's just I cut it into my cigarette.

1:01:46Fundamentals Have cigarettes moved? Has there been cigarette inflation in this market?

1:01:51Richard Greaser No. It's been really flat. It's been strange. And, you know, it it's just inflation tends to lag, it seems like, a little bit,

1:02:06Richard Greaser on certain things, and then it's very sensitive on other things. So cigarettes have been, like, stable coins in a lot of way.

1:02:14Fundamentals Well, that's a good thing, I suppose.

1:02:16Richard Greaser Silas Thornbrook, a 121 SAT, says big thanks to Richard Rod for another epic Rick, cheers, fellas, like, Satoshi, Maxine. Alright. Kaylee is my I'm here for you. Broccoli boy crashes out under your woman boss energy. Stay hot. Oh, Silas is Randy.

1:02:37Richard Greaser Big fan of Kaylee.

1:02:38Richard Greaser Yeah.

1:02:40Fundamentals I'm a big fan of Silas. I hope I hope he's saying I hope he's saying he's gonna be at Lake Satoshi.

1:02:47Richard Greaser That'd be cool. Yep.

1:02:49Fundamentals Alright. Nostra gang. 250 mosquito bites on the fourth or you're a gay fed. So I do know what that means because I listened to the last episode. Nice boost. That's a lot of mosquito bites, by the way.

1:03:03Richard Greaser I've been getting wrecked with mosquito bites. It's, it's, like, bad. Yeah. Some of them, like, really, stand out too, and they get all, like, swollen and itchy. But it's just a it's a sign of the proof of work. It's it's one of those necessary things you have to go through for white boy summer. You have to be outside, so you have to you just have to do it.

1:03:28Fundamentals Totally. Yeah. Do you have a remedy do you have a remedy for mosquito bites, or just you just fucking scratch the shit out of them?

1:03:35Richard Greaser I don't scratch them that much. I mean, I I guess, put, like, some aloe vera on it or something, but I I haven't really been doing that. It's just it's, I just appreciate it. And when I get itchy, I just appreciate it. Oh, man. You you wanna hear a funny story real quick

1:03:50Fundamentals from I heard from Prague. There, there's a guy that told me that he came to the Bitcoin conference in Vegas, and he did in the Bitcoin conference in Vegas, in the VIP like, in the VIP area or in the whale area, they had these red lights on us. Do you remember seeing those? Do you remember seeing red lights on us? No. Well, they had red lights on us, and he went in one. And

1:04:14Fundamentals he ended up having to go to the hospital in Vegas. This guy is from, like, this guy is from Germany. He flies to Vegas to the Bitcoin conference, does ten minutes in a red light sauna, and ends up in the hospital in Vegas

1:04:28Fundamentals with burns all over his body.

1:04:30Richard Greaser Wow.

1:04:31Fundamentals I thought that was funny. I wonder why. Maybe eating too many seed oils? No. They said but, apparently, I don't know, like, they didn't calibrate the sauna correctly or something.

1:04:41Richard Greaser Wow. Pretty much. Like a good job for some Jewish lawyers to intervene.

1:04:47Fundamentals There you go.

1:04:49Richard Greaser Wow. Well, folks, thank you to our subscribers. Southside Dave, Jolly Roger, Jason C. Used to Read a Lot, Lahav, Shadrach, BTC Onboard, Boomer, Sasha, Brian. Well, fundamentals, you. Yep. Thank you. Sean, open bike,

1:05:19Richard Greaser He's been really enjoying White Glaze Summer, taking a well deserved break. And, you got anything for listeners before we wrap this one?

1:05:29Fundamentals Thanks for having me. And I'd like to remind the listeners that the letter to the haters is still in effect, and I think people are still getting wrecked over it. And, you know, we shouldn't forget.

1:05:44Fundamentals We shouldn't forget that there is a very powerful, powerful hex put on the haters of the bugle that, you know, that we, it just needs to be respected.

1:06:35Richard Greaser Every sour seed they have sown with you in mind will be harvested for them to choke upon. All of your haters are about to spend that morning scrubbing. Don't shit Every person who dares to look for your misfortune will have their Big Mac plates by the plunging scrotum

1:07:20Richard Greaser of a brain damaged McDonald's employee who spends most of his shift watching Cartel beheading videos on his phone at full volume. They'll also have the beloved Cookie Monster Fatima pants stolen out of the dryer while they take their shit in a laundromat bathroom. So her headlight burns out before they can lie. As luck would have it, your haters are also

1:07:47Richard Greaser about to endure some medical issues. They'll develop a mouth to asshole rash, which will perplex dermatologists and mortify lovers. Dear friend, as your haters endure this marathon of misery, may your days be a blue cocky of cat positivity and love.
