0:19Richard Greaser Happy paper Bitcoin fourth of July, everyone. 07/04/2025 was the official kickoff of summer in America. The official kickoff of paper Bitcoin summer in America to be specific, and what a time and what a summer is turning out to be. The word retard is fully back. The Jews won against Iran.

0:41Richard Greaser The FIDI saga is over, and creditors cope, like the bitcoin price, is nearing all time highs. July 4 is when we celebrate our hard fork from the funny talk in Europoise. It's when we celebrate our fight to eventually be the biggest ally to Israel. An incredible country. Shout out to the Jews. And they love America too. Because in America, the only ones who can bomb our property is us. And we exercise that right to bomb our own property every July 4 with non KYC fireworks.

1:16Richard Greaser And most importantly, we celebrate our pioneer heritage. Now, we spent our fourth of July together this year, Richard and I, with Maggie Morris, and it was incredible. A great time being non compliant. It was awesome. How do you how are you feeling

1:35Richard Greaser this fourth of July weekend, Richard, to kick off a paper Bitcoin summer?

1:41Rod Palmer I'm feeling pretty good. I'm, I'm proud to be an American Bitcoin podcaster, not a British podcaster. I think that that's what I really reflected on this year, how good it is to be an American Bitcoin podcaster this day and age,

2:00Rod Palmer to come from a bloodline, to to have ancestors that had the balls to quit being plebs and to come across the ocean to America. I feel sorry for those British podcasters, and and I think in a lot of ways, they they should feel disappointed

2:18Rod Palmer in their ancestors. And to the British podcasters, I'd say it's not too late to come to America. We can teach you how to speak like an American. We can teach you how to podcast like an American. We can teach you what it means to blow up your front yard with explosives on the July 4, how to shoot firearms

2:43Rod Palmer at Tannerite, how to smoke non KYC cigarettes the correct way. We can teach you all these important things. How to be how to be a good ally to Israel.

2:55Richard Greaser Not only that, we will teach you how to drive on the right side of the road as well as be on the right side of history for once. That's the most important thing. Be on the right side of history. The British,

3:11Richard Greaser the funny talkers, the British podcasters, the British sports clubs, they call it they call it football. Football is obviously way cooler than what you what you got. But they're just on the wrong side of history. They're constantly behind. And Bitcoin has already won, and they're not living

3:31Richard Greaser on the right side of history to to understand that, to benefit from that. Feels good not to be British.

3:39Rod Palmer Yeah. It was it was a good week. I I I think a lot of people were grumpy this July 4. So you mentioned Palladitor. Palladitor was grumpy. You've got, Jyn Erso. She's grumpy about climate change. She's calling out the fireworks for contributing to climate change.

3:59Richard Greaser Potential climate change just for celebrating fourth of July. Like, that how unpatriotic can you be? And it's not just gin. It's all the the progressive Bitcoiners, all the left wingers, all the Democrats. They're so grumpy right now. They're grumpy because Trump

4:17Richard Greaser whether you like Trump or not, he continues to collect w's in foreign policy in immigration. I mean, whether if, if you take time to really think about it, you know, he's not doing anything. He's not solving any problems. He may probably making them worse. But if you don't really think about it and you just read the headlines, dude, he is collecting W's left and right. And the the lids are the type of people who don't read past headlines. Otherwise, they wouldn't be retarded lids. But they all they see is the headlines, and they just see Trump leaning. And I think that that makes them so grumpy. And you got people, like you said, Pledger's grumpy. He's grumpy about paper Bitcoin. There's a lot more people grumpy than predator about paper Bitcoin. You know, predator is just kinda like a golem. He is like a like a politician of sorts,

5:08Richard Greaser a populist politician and all the rage of the people who hate paper Bitcoin, but they're too cowardly to stand up against the bugle and against gleeful paper bitcoiners, lest they be called grumpy. They're either on Nostr or they just, they just like Pledder's tweets and they don't say anything and

5:27Richard Greaser that grumpiness is gonna keep feeding emergently through, through the timeline and clutter is only gonna become stronger and more grumpy. Guarantee it. But there's just, yeah, there's a lot of people there's a lot of people who don't feel patriotic, especially like I the pre aforementioned libs and, you know, there's a lot of people outside America who are feeling grumpy. The Iranians are definitely feeling grumpy right now. What's

5:52Richard Greaser what do we the grumpy index is pretty high. What what do you think is going on?

5:58Rod Palmer Well, I think a lot of people a lot of people are grumpy with the boomers right now, and that's fair. I'm grumpy with the boomers myself. It's it's not it didn't let me it didn't get in the way of me enjoying the fourth of July. I think that's different the difference between myself and a lot of other people. But the grumpy of the boomers, they're grumpy that they didn't show up and show as much patriotism

6:23Rod Palmer as they could have or historically have. They were too busy in the casinos gambling their Social Security checks away. So there was less of a turnout to fireworks shows, less of a turnout to a lot of things. Like, leading up to this, so a lot of people were looking to Trump's birthday party as being the kickstarter of the fourth of July. And nobody came.

6:48Rod Palmer Nobody came. The boomers, once again, were in the casinos. They didn't turn out. Yeah.

6:56Richard Greaser They're gonna have to start building casinos in Washington, DC, if they want the boomers to show up for for, like, an oratorations for January 6, for fricking presidential birthday parties. They're gonna have they announced this weekend that they're gonna have a UFC fight at the White House on the White House lawn. It was gonna be an official UFC pay per view fight event at the White House

7:24Richard Greaser hosted by by the Trump administration in, like, the next year or two. I like, I it it might be sooner than that, but, that is gonna they're gonna need a crowd for that. And if they want boomers to show up, it's easy to get boomers to show up to UFC fights in Vegas because they're already there gambling away their social security checks. They gotta get them a reason to be gambling away all their social security money, if they want them to show up

7:52Richard Greaser and and and wave the American flag and say go USA and cheer for Trump at that UFC event. And it's gonna be difficult if they don't act right away.

8:03Rod Palmer Absolutely. So the the boomers were only a part of the problem. Gen X was also very unpatriotic this year. Yeah. It's,

8:11Richard Greaser Gen X, they could not be bothered to get off a image flip where they're making Matrix, sopranos, memes and fight club memes all weekend. We haven't seen enough Tyler Durden memes. We haven't seen enough Neo red pill memes. Thank you, gen x, for keeping the culture alive. Oh, and when we're we're at our fourth of July celebration, they're Gen x guys. Whenever they got a hold of the fucking Bluetooth speakers, we had to fucking listen to another math cymbal song by Toole. It's a fucking parable animata or whatever. I don't know. It's wherever the little symbol is on the t a 81 calculator, that's your fucking band, Tool. So it was Matrix, Memes, and Tool.

8:55Richard Greaser But, Yeah. It's I the Gen x guys don't always show up, but I I don't I never miss them. I'll say that. I never miss them. They they really failed. They flopped.

9:06Rod Palmer Everybody knows that tool is the incorrect type of music to listen to on the July 4, that the most patriotic music that you could possibly listen to is Toby Keith.

9:18Richard Greaser A 100%.

9:19Rod Palmer If you're not if you're not screaming the chorus what's what's that song he does, about 09:11?

9:26Richard Greaser Brought brought to you courtesy of the red, white, and blue. When America, by way of the Jews, drops that bomb on you, it's brought to you courtesy of the red, white, and blue.

9:38Rod Palmer If If you're not singing that at the top of your lungs,

9:42Richard Greaser you're failing. If you don't Yeah. If you don't If you if you don't think about Mossad using fucking cell phone bombs to blow up Hajj's terrorists in The Middle East, paid for by your tax dollars brought to you courtesy, the red, white, and blue. I don't maybe maybe you should register to be a Democrat because you're not fucking I don't know. You're just not patriot to me. So the millennials,

10:08Rod Palmer I think largely also didn't show up this fourth of July. They were mad about Israel. They were protesting for Gaza. They didn't like Alligator Alcatraz. They were all wound up about Alligator Alcatraz. That's that's what derailed the millennials, was this detention camp in

10:32Rod Palmer Florida in the middle of nowhere. They were upset because they they want it built in El Salvador.

10:41Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. They Donald Trump like like I said, they don't read past the headline. So they see this Alligator Alcatraz thing, and they think this would be so much better if we just move this out Salvador and just surrounded by MS thirteen, they'll never get away. But Donald Trump knows. And, and this is what he said. He said that you don't have to pay the alligators.

11:05Richard Greaser You don't have to pay the rattlesnake. You don't have to pay the swamp creatures to eat the escapees. You do have to pay El Salvador, and you have to pay El Salvador in Bitcoin. And right now, we're still trying to find the keys to the government's Bitcoin because the fucking Biden Joe Biden maybe forgot the private keys to America's Bitcoin.

11:29Richard Greaser We didn't realize how bad his dementia was, and he was in charge of remember him. But, but, yeah, it's Alligator Alcatraz is kind of a brilliant idea. I just think the wrong people are being sent to Alligator Alcatraz. And this is where I think millennials and Gen X can actually come together without hating each other's culture too much. And I think even the Zoomers, the broccoli haircuts could come into agreement with is we don't need to be sending gardeners, you know, and Tim Dillon talked about this. We don't need to be sending gardeners and people who are here

12:04Richard Greaser just working, breaking their backs, fucking working for tether on Tron. We need to be sending the boomer corporate CEOs, the boomer corporate factory workers. They are the ones who have been purchasing these Hispanic slaves from places like El Salvador, from places like Guatemala, from places like Venezuela, where life is so destitute and it's so hard to access tether that they will do anything to come to United States and just work for, like like I said, like

12:37Richard Greaser tethers on the pennies on the tether. And it is literal slavery, and it is a institutionalized racket. It is an institutionalized human trafficking network. And I think that if we put those boomers

12:53Richard Greaser in Alligator Alcatraz, not only would it be the, you know, it would be more upper port that would be a good deterrent. The slavery would stop if you put you took somebody off the golf course and put them in Alligator or Alcatraz. Boomers love going to Florida, but they don't wanna go to Alligator or Alcatraz. We put them in there and we could still I mean, we could still deport illegal immigration if that's what you care about.

13:20Richard Greaser But we should we could really put the end to it by sending the boomers to Alligator Alcatraz. We closed Gitmo. We can't send them to Gitmo. The Alligator Alcatraz is better than Gitmo. And also, I think the alligators would be happy because boomers are pretty fat. So it'd be a nice, like, fatty rib eye for them. Absolutely. Of course.

13:39Rod Palmer A lot of people were also upset this July 4 about paper Bitcoin. Like you said, a lot of people are scared to call it out except for Plotter. They're just engaging with this post. Yeah. It's it's hard

13:57Richard Greaser to it's hard to see why why when we talked about this, we don't have to get into it, but it's just it's crazy that make that paper Bitcoin makes people so grumpy. And I think I think it is paper Bitcoin is the the thing that the it's it's like people have Trump derangement syndrome. They're unhappy about circumstances in their life. They're unhappy about the state of the economy. They're unhappy about,

14:24Richard Greaser you know, the disproportionate success g's have over them. They're they're mad about something and they they turn towards Trump, and I think a lot of Bitcoiners are turning this animosity, this dissatisfaction whether it's with the price action, whether it's with

14:40Richard Greaser core devs, whether it's with, no no, like, empty blocks in the mempool, spam, what have you. And they're blaming all of these problems or in a way it makes them feel on paper Bitcoin. They're projecting their grumpiness on paper Bitcoin.

14:59Richard Greaser And that is I'm telling you, you're only making paper Bitcoin stronger. That's what I'm telling you. Watch what if you focus your grumpiness inward, and you saw and you saw you're able to figure out why you're grumpy and you're able to solve that problem inwardly, and privately and with your family,

15:20Richard Greaser you'll be it will be much better off because the more you project your grumpiness on paper Bitcoin, the more you're making a market. You're making the sell side of a market because the Bitcoin podcasters, the Bitcoin treasury companies leverage Bitcoin equities,

15:35Richard Greaser the, ETFs, the custodial Lightning, the e cash wallets, the Cashew wallets, the the liquid, the the custodial

15:48Richard Greaser Lightning wallets like MANA. It's all paper Bitcoin. And the more you create this reaction, this negative force against it, the more you are building this up and creating a larger and larger market. And you are driving the paper Bitcoin

16:06Richard Greaser prices higher as much as Dylan Maclair, as much as David Bay you are no better than David Bailey. If you are not if if you don't have a real, yeah, you know, gripe with paper Bitcoin and you're just projecting your grumpiness on it for solid reason, then no better than David Bailey.

16:31Rod Palmer Not only do you have to have a real gripe, you have to have a real solution. You have to have an alternative. Is it this is the part part about being grumpy is, you know, what what is alternative

16:46Rod Palmer at the end of the day? He just he want Nintendo. Being grumpy? Yeah. He's using his grumpiness, the paper Bitcoin, as an excuse to sit inside on a nice summer sunny day and play Zelda on a switch. That's just excuse. So if you're grumpy at paper Bitcoin, you you have to have I would I I think you don't have to do anything. You can waste your time being unproductive, being grumpy at the world, just shaking your fist at the sky, not not get anywhere. You can do that with your time, or you can have a good time on the July 4, be a little bit grumpy,

17:26Rod Palmer and do something productive. So I think some productive things that you could do if you're grumpy about paper Bitcoin would be primarily starting a Bitcoin podcast. That would be the first thing that I think would be productive because there's there's two ways to make the price of Bitcoin go up. Either

17:49Rod Palmer pump and paper Bitcoin or having a Bitcoin podcast. And if you're grumpy and you don't have a Bitcoin podcast yet, I don't know what you're doing. You're just wasting your time being grumpy because you're not part of the solution, part of the problem. So you should you might as well if you're not willing to start a podcast, you should just go buy paper Bitcoin and capitulate because you will in five years because you have weak moral character.

18:22Rod Palmer There's other ways to be productive about this too.

18:27Richard Greaser But I think I wanna go go back to your point real quick about the solutions. Because this is the problem in in American politics right now, and this is why the the libs are just taking so many l's to Trump because the libs aren't even in the conversation anymore. The biggest drama was the big beautiful bill, and the two the two competing forces in a big, beautiful bill debate were the people who wanted to pass at the Republican establishment

18:58Richard Greaser and then Elon Musk and, the America First tardy or whatever they're launching, and people like Thomas Nassey and Rand Paul, the libertarian ish, the the fiscal hawks. It was it was a fight between two different fact factions in the republican party. The democrats weren't anywhere to be found. When he comes to immigration, the Donald Trump is able to go to a alligator at Alcatraz because the Democrats are nowhere to be found. Had they had they had no good ideas. They have no solutions. They they they have Trump's derangement syndrome, but they have zero solutions. And if they even had if Mike Brock could

19:34Richard Greaser could write a the brilliantest most brilliant blog or even the dumbest one that had a slightly good idea, just a slightly good idea, an alternative solution, The Democrats, the Left could somehow be in this fight and maybe some of these, you know, human rights that that they're the Left leaning people are historically good at fighting for, maybe those would be less in jeopardy because they at least had some good ideas. And the people in who just hate hate for Bitcoin and who they just all they do is bitch about it all day,

20:10Richard Greaser they are no better than, you know, the lewdie libs screaming in the streets at the no kings rally. It's like, we know you don't like it, but you don't have anything better, so fucking fuck off. And, you you don't you don't wanna completely devolve into that, like, screaming, crying triggered lib meme. Because if that's how people see you and that's how people see you, you are just you're cooked, baby. You're done. Never coming back. The broccoli aircon's gonna replace you. Absolutely.

20:42Rod Palmer You gotta be taking action, not just being, I I the the imagery of the, the trigger led meme, I think, is so appropriate in this scenario. And we're seeing it over and over again. So these these kind of switches in the Bitcoin political ecosystem seem to coincide with the switches with

21:06Rod Palmer the liberal ecosystem. I don't know if you noticed this, but, you know, every time there's a a new thing, there's a new thing in Bitcoin.

21:17Richard Greaser The current thing. Yeah. The current meme.

21:22Rod Palmer And, you know, not was the last one. Not like you pay for Bitcoin as the new one. And

21:32Richard Greaser I know what I knew on this quickly emerging is the, the SBR. The SBR is getting controversial again. Real controversial because they think the conspiracy right now is that Roger Ver moved $8,000,000,000 worth of Bitcoin, dollars 80,000 Bitcoin that had been dormant for fourteen years because they think that Roger Verrio is gonna try to cut a deal where he's gonna pay his taxes. The government's gonna put that in the SBR,

21:59Richard Greaser and it's, you know, pretty brazen confiscation of private property by the US government. But it are are people gonna support that if it goes into the SBR? If it tops Bitcoin because the government puts 80,000 Bitcoin in the fucking SBR, are we gonna celebrate that because

22:20Richard Greaser they're basically stealing it from Privacism and just because he's annoying? We can't let the government steal 80,000 Bitcoin from you just because you're annoying. Like, that's not

22:30Rod Palmer it's not justice. It's not justice. I agree with that. I agree with that. It's, I don't know why people are surprised by that, though. Because, like, this week, we just saw Diddy get off of a lot of charges. The Trump administration is saying that Epstein didn't kill himself. A lot of the stuff that's continuing

22:55Rod Palmer to go on that, you know, people that was pro like, why why is it so much of a stretch after knowing all of this that the government's feels like they can and will confiscate people's private property and Roger Veer's Bitcoin? Why is that so surprising to anybody at this point?

23:16Rod Palmer That's what's surprising to me is that people are grumpy about that because many of them have failed to be grumpy about these other things in the past. It's just interesting to see where people prioritize their grumpiness. That's that's what's strange to me. You know? Like,

23:37Rod Palmer the people are grumpy about paper Bitcoin this July 4, and they're failing to be grumpy about the Patriot Act. It's just I don't know. This is why we need more Bitcoin podcasters because a lot of people only get grumpy when they're told to be grumpy. And so when there's more people podcasting to be grumpy about different things If

23:60Richard Greaser if you don't know what to be grumpy for, you'll be grumpy for anything. It is a algorithms are developed the on your timeline.

24:14Richard Greaser They're optimized to make you grumpy. Google, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, they're all competing

24:23Richard Greaser to monetize your grumpiness. They know you're grumpy. They know people are grumpy. They're making us grumpy. And if you don't know what to be grumpy about, if you don't know

24:35Richard Greaser that all this comes down, that you should be grumpy about the federal reserve. You should be grumpy about the the people, the incentive structure that is

24:50Richard Greaser trampling your freedom, and forcing you to live a life of grumpiness. And if you don't know how to direct that and you just direct it at anything that slightly displeases you, other people seem happy for some reason and they don't seem grumpy

25:08Richard Greaser and that pisses me off and that makes me more grumpy. So I'm gonna hate them and I'm gonna be pissed off at them instead of focusing on the people who you should be grumpy at. You know, I I talked to somebody this weekend and he said, I I said, what, don't you think it would be don't you think it would be more beneficial to because he he thinks there used to be a a much more advanced civilization before us and that all these beautiful cathedrals and architecture and technology, things that were built and they were not built by our civilization even a hundred, you know, hundreds of years ago, but it was built by somebody before. I said, don't you think, do you think that those people in that previous civilization were free or do you think they were under like a an authoritarian

25:53Richard Greaser fascist society? And he said, he thought they were free. And I I said, don't you think that all this fighting, all this conflict of free people, it would make it much harder to to build this beautiful advanced civilization that you're talking about? And he said, no. He said, the reason we're fighting is because we're controlled by a demon. And as long as we're fighting and our guns are pointed at each other, they'll never be pointed at him. And this demon represents

26:19Richard Greaser the in the system making us grumpy. And if we are constantly pointing our grumps and our grouches at each other at Bitcoin Podcasters, are you kidding me? The people who are helping spread signal

26:34Richard Greaser and freedom and it create NGU the most on anybody's site Bitcoin pot, you're gonna point your grumpiness at Bitcoin podcasters. You've lost the plot. We should be pointing our grumpiness where it deserves to be pointed. A lot of people

26:52Rod Palmer there's different levels of the pyramid to be grumpy at. There's top things. The very tip of the the pyramid is whatever the current thing is. I would I would treat it kinda like in medicine. They they talk about treating

27:08Rod Palmer the symptoms symptoms instead of treating the problem. Top level of the pyramid is just the most basic symptom. You go down the pyramid. There's different levels of things to be grumpy at. And at the core, the foundation of the pyramid are the base level things to be grumpy at.

27:32Rod Palmer Like you said, when everybody's pointing guns at each other instead of the problem, they're at the top upper levels of the pyramid. Sometimes, you know, when you're gonna start pointing the gun around, which is pointing your grumpiness, it's it's like a gun. It's your attention. It's your your

27:51Richard Greaser noticing power. It's your energy.

27:53Rod Palmer It's your energy. Yeah. Your finite energy. When you're point getting ready to point that gun, it's good to stop for a second and figure out what you're about to point it at and how important it is to point it at that specific thing. And that takes work. That takes work to figure that out. I mean, that's why it's important to listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week because that's that work to figure out what's what's proper to be grumpy at.

28:23Rod Palmer You need the entropy. You need to cover a lot of ground. You gotta you gotta monitor the situation, have a good understanding of whatever's going on at a larger scale.

28:34Richard Greaser And this is why this is also the un the Musk Hunter talked about value of listening to Bitcoin podcasts and most importantly is listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts per week is that

28:51Richard Greaser you're right very few people are listening to Bitcoin Podcast as much and as deeply as you are, which means you don't have anybody to talk about it with, which is actually a feature, not a bug, because it forces you to think inwardly.

29:09Richard Greaser It forces you to to go inward and to and to to mull over these ideas, mull over these thermodynamic calculations, equations that are spinning in your head and to compress the entropy and to really peer peel away what that signal is, not just from the podcast, but for how that podcast

29:32Richard Greaser knowledge can affect your life in a positive way, how it can impact and fix your problems. You are forced to go inward and think about it deeply. And this is what you should be doing all the time. It is much more efficient to process inwardly

29:50Richard Greaser than to project your grumpiness outwardly. You have a finite amount of grumpiness. You are able to power project, to use Jason Lowry's, metaphor, power project your grumpiness out. You have a finite amount of that.

30:07Richard Greaser And if you don't conserve it and use it like a jujitsu person who waits and waits and it explodes and takes advantage of a situation after he's been monitoring it slowly the entire match. That's the only way you're gonna be able to win. That's the only way you're gonna be able to exploit opportunities

30:28Richard Greaser to be less grumpy is to use your grumpiness very

30:33Rod Palmer treat it very, very seriously. Yeah. You gotta conserve your, your grumpiness, for sure. Conserve it for the right moment. One thing that people are kinda grumpy

30:48Richard Greaser about is the, the Diddy trial. Yeah. That's that is a big one.

30:52Rod Palmer A lot of people are feeling the, the victims were not properly, vint like, justice wasn't served

31:04Rod Palmer in the case. And the court had an interest in ruling or the jury came to an interesting conclusion that a lot of the people that were claiming to be victims

31:20Rod Palmer had actually signed up to it even if they were underage because they wanted to have success in the music industry. And that that was by wanting to be successful in the music industry, that was consent

31:36Rod Palmer in of itself. And that for the underage children that the parents essentially, you know, gave their consent by allowing their children to try and be successful in the music industry. What do you think about that, Ron?

31:48Richard Greaser Well, I mean, I see the logic from a fiat judicial system perspective,

31:60Richard Greaser but I think it raises the bigger question to up level this discourse. The reason Diddy got off is because Diddy was not

32:12Richard Greaser the party who ultimately is to blame for these injustices and for these crimes against other people. The perpetrator of these crimes are all the people who were never mentioned

32:29Richard Greaser in the trial. All the people, all the victims who will never be mentioned in the, you know, Ghislaine Maxwell trial, but more importantly, all the, people who the victimizers who will never be,

32:42Richard Greaser brought up in these and mentioned in these trials because this is all done in the Southern District Of New York. And, again, Tim Dillon is talking about this. I encourage you to listen to his his recent July 4 podcast because the the the prosecutor in this case was also a prosecutor

33:03Richard Greaser who worked on the Epstein case, and it is the daughter of James Comey, the guy who was, prosecuting he he the the OG Trump derangement syndrome attorney. He had his daughter very you know, he was, like, the director of the FBI. So his daughter is prosecuting data here, and her job as a prosecutor

33:23Richard Greaser in a situation like this is to narrow the scope of the inquiry so that all the real, perpetrators are left out. They're not, they're kept out of the trial. They're kept out of the scrutiny and they are never mentioned

33:39Richard Greaser and they, they have to pin it all on the person who was running the honeypot scheme for them, which was day. And it was Epstein and Jolene Maxwell before him and probably at a higher, more elite level. But somebody has to take the fall, somebody has to die or somebody has to go to jail with a slap on the wrist or have their lives ruined in some way and that was Diddy. But right now, there is there's a vacuum that has to be filled and it has to be filled by whoever wants to take whoever wants to live the lavish crazy life

34:14Richard Greaser that, will be fitting for the next fed honeypot to collect blackmail information on high profile powerful elite people. And

34:27Richard Greaser people are saying that this is the way for Bitcoin a Bitcoin podcaster, an influencer to hit the mainstream and state Bitcoin mainstream is to be that high level be the next ditty. It's almost like there could be a reality TV show of being the next ditty, but it could if they did

34:48Richard Greaser that money would be the poly market money would be on a Bitcoin podcaster. This is their time. This is their time to rise. Who do you think that could be the ultimate Bitcoin podcaster to be the next Diddy? I don't know if I have any specifics on it, but I I do imagine a lot of these Bitcoin podcasters that are getting hired into these

35:09Rod Palmer paper Bitcoin arrangements, for these paper Bitcoin companies, that they're gonna they're gonna have that experience sometime in the near future where they get walked into a room and they get asked to do something a little bit questionable,

35:28Rod Palmer something they might not want everybody else to know about them. And they're gonna have that moment. Are they they're gonna have their careers destroyed and be left out of the club, or are they gonna join the club and do the thing? Who the person facilitating that is, I don't know.

35:47Rod Palmer They might not even be a high profile person. Don't want a people know. Right.

35:52Richard Greaser Right. Well, I'll tell you one thing. One of the easiest ways to get caught up in one of these situations where you have to to make that choice is if you can't afford your taxes because they love to hold that over your head. Oh, we know that you could afford taxes, but you didn't,

36:13Richard Greaser on paper you said you couldn't and now we've gotcha. And that goes back to the Roger Verre thing. They they were trying Roger Verre is a very obstinate individual. He was probably very, very defiant to the federal prosecutors,

36:30Richard Greaser investigators, IRS agents who've been, trying to to strike a deal with him before this trial. And

36:41Richard Greaser once they once they once they come in with the, with tax with the tax charges, it's very, very hard to escape that. And a lot of people will do a lot of things

36:54Rod Palmer to escape the, fate of of the IRS coming after you. It could be that. It could be a lot of things. I mean, I think a lot of them, it's not even, like, staying out of trouble. It's just chasing success. I think that's, you know, the people have been grinding. They've been putting out Bitcoin podcast, talking about the same thing over and over again for years. And,

37:17Rod Palmer we're kinda getting stuck with engagement reach, with, how much their sponsors are willing to pay for them. They're chasing that other Bitcoin podcaster that's just always been just ahead of them. They've done it. They've, you know, they've been on the news desk at the the conference. They've, you know, spoken on stage, on a panel. They haven't gotten that keynote speaker position

37:43Rod Palmer yet. They want that keynote. They wanna be up there like some of the, some of the greats.

37:52Richard Greaser And you're saying maybe it sounds like you're saying Dennis Porter could be the next Diddy.

37:59Rod Palmer That's a possibility.

38:01Richard Greaser That's in that. That's a honeypot right there. It's everybody's already everybody in the room's already got a boner. That that could be construed as consent. If everybody in the room already had a boner, it is it's not rape.

38:16Rod Palmer That's not where I was going with it, but that is an interesting theory. And I think we kinda have to wait and see who we will or or who it will be. But it's almost a certainty that it it will happen. You know, The United States, that's where power is just centered is at these questionable party

38:41Rod Palmer settings. To be successful, to be powerful in The United States, you have to partake in this. George Bush did it with, Skull and Bones. Republicans like to do it with Bohemian Grove. Democrats like to play ping pong.

39:00Richard Greaser It's it's They love pizza parties.

39:03Rod Palmer When when The United States said what Donald Trump said at the Bitcoin conference that they were gonna be doing the SBR, that they were gonna be taking Bitcoin seriously, what that meant is there were Diddy parties coming to the Bitcoin ecosystem. That's what that meant.

39:25Rod Palmer When when people were cheering on the strategic Bitcoin reserve and, you know, things like that. They were cheering on Diddy comp parties coming to Bitcoin. So who it is, I don't know. The fact that it it definitely is and and will happen, almost a certainty, in my opinion. Do

39:47Rod Palmer Do you have any theories, Rob?

39:50Richard Greaser No. I think it's, Bitcoin has already won, which is great thing, but it comes with bad things. And apparently, it comes with ditty parties. Orange pill ditty parties. Orange pill freak offs.

40:10Richard Greaser And unfortunately, I don't think as many people as we might imagine are upset about that. I think there's more people happy. There's not enough people grumpy about that. They're too busy being grumpy about paper Bitcoin to be grumpy about the fact that diddy parties are coming to the Bitcoin industry. That is interesting.

40:36Rod Palmer Why do you think people are grumpier about paper Bitcoin than diddy parties in Bitcoin?

40:41Richard Greaser I think it goes back to what you were saying earlier. They're grumpy about the symptom, not the underlying cause. And paper Bitcoin is just a symptom of diddy parties coming

40:55Rod Palmer into the Bitcoin space. I think part of the reason why people like to be grumpy at the symptom instead of the root of the problem is being grumpy at the symptoms doesn't require actually treating the problem. And, you know, this is an American tradition to just take a pill for everything.

41:16Rod Palmer Something's wrong, just take a pill for it. You know? Pills don't typically treat the actual problem. They typically are used to treat the symptom. When you just treat the symptom,

41:31Rod Palmer it perpetuates the problem. And the reason why people like to treat the symptom is they can't be bothered to change their behavior in order to actually deal with the problem. You see you see it over and over again. Like, you know, what is Ozempic? What is

41:51Rod Palmer the way that people are interacting with diabetes? Are you gonna stop drinking soda? I mean, why are so many Americans reluctant why are so many Americans reluctant to smoke cigarettes, to read books? It's because they want

42:11Rod Palmer to treat whatever the issue is. They feel grumpy instead of smoking cigarettes, listen to Bitcoin podcast, figuring out something productive to do with themselves. Watch Netflix?

42:24Richard Greaser People who listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts every week don't have time to be grumpy.

42:32Rod Palmer Well, you've got time to be grumpy. You'll be grumpy when you listen to Bitcoin podcast for sure, but it's just you don't have time to just, like, waste your grumpiness. And I think, you know, a lot of people in Bitcoin, they just don't wanna start a Bitcoin podcast. You know, if you're grumpy out there and you feel isolated and you have nobody to talk about it with, starting a Bitcoin podcast is the the perfect excuse to talk about your grumpiness with other people like you.

43:07Rod Palmer Because people like to go on Bitcoin podcast. And, yeah, I just I I I don't know. I think that's what it is. It's it's a it's a lack of desire to start a Bitcoin podcast at the end of the day, to engage in for the value for value ecosystem, to boost other people. You're right. Yeah.

43:25Richard Greaser You're grumpy at yourself for not doing what you know you should be doing. And you think about it, all these leftist women, these crazy blue hairs, they're they're so angry, but they're angry at themselves for not being what they truly wanna be, but they know they should be a trad wife. And the and all these Bitcoiners are angry, but they're they should be grumpy at themselves because they know what they should be doing. They know they should be listening to forty hours per week, and they know they should they should be recording their own starting their own Bitcoin podcast, but they're not doing either.

43:57Richard Greaser And in the wake and all that free time and all that lack of first principles thinking that it goes into being a Bitcoin podcaster, all of the game theoretic discussions that you're having with your

44:12Richard Greaser podcast host or your podcast guests, in the absence of that is where grumpiness brews. Toxic grumpiness. The the wrong kind of grump the grumpiness that gets in the way of thinking for yourself,

44:27Richard Greaser that gets in the way of believing in yourself, that gets in the way of of being able to separate signal from noise. And

44:38Rod Palmer this is one of the reasons why I don't I don't really like to call myself or or reject the label of being a Bitcoin maximalist. It's because Bitcoin maximalism has been associated it's it's been the movement of making unproductive toxic grumpiness cool. And you you just you have a question. You know, I think everybody has a question they have to ask themselves of on the on the when you're prioritizing

45:07Rod Palmer your grumpiness, should you be grumpier about the shit coins or about ditty parties coming to Bitcoin?

45:16Richard Greaser Right. This is plebs or toxic grumps. Pioneers are focusing their grumpiness to go out into the frontier away from the ditty parties,

45:30Richard Greaser to get as far away from ditty parties as possible and to build their citadels. You know, you don't wanna live, you don't wanna build your citadel in a neighborhood surrounded by pedophiles. So you go on the pedophile tracker and you see all the, where all the registered sex offenders are, and you move out of that neighborhood. That's what pioneers do. Pioneers are moving out of the ditty party neighborhoods, and they're going to build their citadels on the frontier with like minded sovereign individuals. And the plebs are staying

46:02Richard Greaser in the ditty party tech in the ditty party districts, and they're just getting grumpier and grumpier, and it's getting less and less productive, and their lives are getting worse and worse and worse. And because they haven't switched to that pioneer mindset and focus their grumpiness on doing things that materially improve their lives and their future,

46:21Rod Palmer like starting a Bitcoin podcast. There's a lot of things that you can do that are productive. Significantly more productive than what platter is doing. Platter is the gold standard of how to be unproductive. Mike Brock is too. Fourth of July was great. It's great to be an American. It it's it's great to be living in a country that

46:46Rod Palmer people were smart enough or or ancestors were smart enough to to leave Europe. There's a lot to celebrate. El Salvador celebrated, American fourth of July by announcing that they would be building the tallest skyscraper in South America, called Tether Tower. Even the Salvadorians

47:11Rod Palmer are celebrating the greatness of The United States in the US dollar system. It was a good time. I had a good time this fourth of July. I wasn't wasting my time being grumpy about paper Bitcoin. But anyways, you got anything, wrapping up before we go into the fountain booths?

47:31Richard Greaser I don't think so. I just I think just that's the takeaway. Plebs are grumpy. Pioneers are grumpy for a cause. Be a be grumpy for a cause, a real cause. Don't just be a reactionary grump. Absolutely.

47:49Rod Palmer Alrighty.

47:52Richard Greaser I smoked so many cigarettes this July 4. Bitcoin just, recorded its highest weekly close of all time.

48:01Rod Palmer Very cool. Well, our first boost from late stage hodl 10,000 sats says, I could not feel more honored. Ron and Dick not only saved. Ron and Dick not only saying they like my boost, but they also bestowed upon me the credential of the artist label. I've always felt like my doctor was too grumpy to diagnose. I will continue my weaponized grumpiness and keep building like a pioneer. That's awesome to hear late stage Huddl.

48:29Richard Greaser I really you basically you basically just announced you do it's if you're listening to our podcast in the future. Yeah. He He'll weaponize his his grumpiness to keep building like a pioneer. It's like we are it's it's like you're a week ahead of us. That's wild.

48:44Rod Palmer I mean, that's that's where you get when you're a guy like I was listening to Ungovernable Misfits. Misfits. I saw a late stage Huddl was boosting that show as well. When you listen to forty eight hours a week of high signal podcasting, you could predict the future of what podcasters will talk on their next episode.

49:04Richard Greaser Next one is from Jason C. 1,221 SaaS. Of course, Jason is the co host with fundamentals on Back on the Chain, the podcast about the Generation X band, Phish. Jason says, stank you smelly much. That's that is a very Gen X boost right there.

49:27Rod Palmer Stanky smelly much. Well, thank you, Jason. Next boost from Poopsicle 500 sats. An American is someone who can't speak French.

49:40Richard Greaser I like that. That's at least one of the parts.

49:45Rod Palmer That's a good prerequisite

49:46Richard Greaser for sure. That that's exactly what I would think somebody named Pootsicle would define being American as honestly.

49:54Rod Palmer Are they They're young brand Are are people from Louisiana Americans?

49:59Richard Greaser I mean, I'm I'm happy with that. They're basically in their own alligator, Alcatraz. That's where we keep the French speaking Americans, alligator, Alcatraz of the South. The LG alligator, Alcatraz, Louisiana.

50:10Rod Palmer Boost from Turkey, 500 sounds. Just the show link. No comment.

50:16Richard Greaser Next one's from Sean, 500 sats, and he goes, boobs, spelled b e w b s, Elliot. Love those. Fourth of July is not KYC titties.

50:32Rod Palmer Fourth of July is about boobs. Boobs and boos and Toby Keith. Absolutely. It's part about being American is liking boobs. Even if you're a gay person, you still have to appreciate boobs. Pies, 420¢. LFG, exclamation point, exclamation point,

50:51Rod Palmer exclamation point, exclamation point. Mushroom emoji, strong-arm, salute, American flag, equals, gold medal,

51:02Rod Palmer British flag, equals, poop emoji. Guys, I I really hope you you gave the British podcasters a hard time. That's that's a big part about what celebrating the fourth of July is about, is making fun of the British people. And that's what it's from. BTC on board hashtag

51:22Richard Greaser lenhance or hashtag CTV. 300 sats. Three thumbs up. Thank you. BGC on board.

51:32Rod Palmer 100 sats from Pies. Love firefighters. Fire truck emoji. Fuck the police. Police emoji. I think I think that summarizes almost everybody's feeling. Like, you know, the firefighters, they never pull you over for driving drunk on the July 4. They never, they never pull you over for speeding. They never

51:52Rod Palmer get you in trouble for smoking in the wrong spot. They just show up. They save the day if you're if you fall over and you shower and you can't get up, or if, your house is on fire, they show up, put it out. They come and rescue you in the shower. Everybody loves firefighters.

52:12Richard Greaser I also think, everybody hates cops for sure. Just I think everybody should remember ACAB, all cops are bastards. That includes Predator. Pleader's a cop.

52:29Rod Palmer He's he's like a mall cop, though. Does he count as a cop?

52:34Richard Greaser He's yeah. He's like, yeah. You're right. A mall cop. He's a he he's like mister Leahy from, Trailer Park. Boy, he wants to be a cop, and he wants you know, he's he he calls Gary Gensler every time he sees an unregistered security, but, they don't give him his credent. Bader is an uncredentialed cop.

52:53Rod Palmer Do Do you think he drives a segue around Bitcoin Twitter?

52:57Richard Greaser I think he drives a segue around his, hometown in real life. I think he try I think he probably dresses as a cop to scare scammers in his local community, but he's it's still it's stolen valor. Makes sense. The next one is for Sean on 100 sats. You guys try heart and soil and their grass fed testicles. Oh, wait. Let me reread that. You guys

53:24Richard Greaser try Heart and Soil, some brand, I think, and their grass fed testicles, and their that's their product. Now I have not tried the grass fed testicles from Heart and Soil, but throw some,

53:39Richard Greaser some steak and shake beef towel on those bad boys, fry them up. I I give them a shot. What Rocky Mountain oyster action?

53:48Rod Palmer You know, some people are eating into eating, like, the weird parts of, cows, like the testicles, liver, heart. Yeah. Breedlove is doing that on video. Yeah. Typically, what people do with those parts is they, you know, they feed it to, like, their cats or dogs. You know what I mean? But it's good to know that there's a certain type of breed of Bitcoin podcaster like Robert Breedlove that you could present beef testicles to, and he'd probably be really excited to

54:19Rod Palmer to get it on camera, him and his wife eating them. Solo the bull for the bull market. Thank you for the boost. Shadrach didn't boost, but I'll read it anyways. Posted on Noster, dropping socialist out of helicopters might be fun and look good on TikTok, but it's not moral. That was a good quote from last week. I stand by that one, Neil.

54:46Richard Greaser Hell, yeah. Well, thanks for the funny quote, Shadrach. Wasn't a booty spoo. Still funny enough to read.

54:56Rod Palmer Got it through my filter this week.

54:59Richard Greaser Adam Hoddle also had one one of their most satirical yet. So Adam must be a new listener. This is a satire. This is the news. A little, like I said, a little grumpy about people who keep calling a satire. But,

55:16Richard Greaser again, I'm not gonna let that overwhelm me. I'm gonna focus my grumpiness on the Diddy parties coming to Bitcoin. And if and listen, if the Bitcoin conference next year in Vegas tries to have a Diddy party,

55:31Rod Palmer I'm switching my allegiance on BTC Prague only. I'm gonna be going there instead. We have New York Times publishing standards, Adam Hoddle. Alrighty. Well, I apologize, everybody. I'm feeling super tired today. I have not recovered from the festivities. I wanna thank you everybody for tuning in to this edition of the Bugle Weekly. Remember, conserve your grumpiness. Be grumpy with a cause. Be grumpy for a cause. Hope you all have a good week, and we'll catch you on the next edition

56:04Rod Palmer of Beagle Weekly.

56:18Unknown I opened up my phone late one night, saw David tweet and was ready for a fight. Steam came out my ears, saw what I needed to do. Clubs like anus tweets, unable to see what is true.
