0:07Unknown What does it feel like bad guys always win? They have tanks and their bombs and their money. The game is rigged, so what do you do? A feeling of depression grows, it's not funny. Here we go on suicide mountain. Debating whether living is worth the fight. Knowing how the world works is quite the burden. Continuing

0:32Unknown forward is uncertain. When I was a child, I was taught I was free. Stuck in a classroom, bending the knee. The teacher said comply and all will be good. A human soul crushed and misunderstood, but the human spirit can only take so much

0:51Unknown before you snap and decide to fight. On suicide mount, You weigh your options. Dark night of the soul causes a fire to ignite. Taking the red pill is easier said than done. Seeing the world as it is is not that fun, but there is a responsibility to do the right thing. Let go of the fantasies to which you cling. The CIA psy ops have power indeed, but you have power to reject their monopoly. Channel your anger and

1:37Unknown battle of perception, not flesh and blood. There are other forces at work besides the dark flood. When the night gets darkest and spooks are closing in, the cypherpunk finds a way to win. When it seems like the whole world has come here, mister Gay, the human spirit will endure to find a way. So come back down on Suicide Mountain and show them anger by ghosting us a mountain. Support the credentialed journalists at

2:38Unknown Never underestimate those with the brain making decisions because they are safe. Defeat only comes when people give in. Fortify your mind and we will win. Yes. Times are hard and will likely get darker, but this presents an opportunity to be stronger. We will create good times for future generations.

3:02Unknown Continuing to fight has serious implications, so come back down for suicide mountain and support the intellectual silicone road on top. We will break hard cops, control of the narrative. This is the only path forward. It's an imperative.

3:52Unknown Have you ever asked yourself, what if my life is a TV show? Am I an unwitting protagonist in a story about my life like Jim Carrey in The Truman Show? Did you ever wonder if maybe the world revolves around you? Well, it doesn't. Your life is not a TV show. But that doesn't mean there isn't anyone watching.

4:16Unknown Banks, payment apps, Mobile carriers ISPs Your custodial lightning wallet Even your weather app They're all gathering data on you And watching every move you make

4:29Unknown Some of them even know what decisions you will make before you do But where does that data go and what are they doing with it?

5:07Kaylee Welch This is your producer, Kaylee. Strap in for a banger of a show as Rod and Dick discuss the most important news happening in the world. This is the Bugle Weekly, and you are entering the intellectual Silk Road.

5:24Richard Greaser And we're recording. Welcome to the Beagle Weekly podcast. This is your cohost, Rich Greaser. How you doing,

5:32Rod Palmer Ron? Doing great. It's been a crazy week. Just every week, the past two or three weeks, the past month has been a crazy week, but this one was no different. Yeah. I mean, as we're recording, we were just talking about, apparently Peter Schiff's a Bitcoiner now. Yeah. He's hanging out with David Bailey. I may I guess David Orangebill, David Orangebill, Peter Schiff.

5:57Rod Palmer I didn't think it was gonna happen. I thought, I thought Peter Schiff would probably be the last person with, Bitcoin derangement syndrome, but I don't know. It's exciting. Peter Schiff is a, is a very active and influential,

6:13Richard Greaser content creator. So having him on the Bitcoin team is really gonna be valuable. What what does that say about David Bailey? So he turned he turned Peter Schiff into a pleb and he turned the former president Donald Trump into a pleb. I mean, is there anybody else on earth that he can't turn into a pleb?

6:31Rod Palmer Yeah, I I think that's right now, there's really no question that the most valuable orange pillars in the world, it's kind of a debate between David Bailey and Dennis Porter. I think Dennis Porter clearly has the numbers.

6:51Rod Palmer He's orange pilled more people. But I think the question comes in, has David orange pilled such important people that it makes up for it and like he should still be kind of in that conversation?

7:04Richard Greaser Yeah, I think this brings up an important discussion of just general body count in general because I feel like certain bodies have higher weights to them. So you could be a guy that has like slept with a thousand women. But if, the women you're sleeping with are all landmines and grenades, you know, what what does it really matter if you're, like, an individual that, you know, sleeps with, like, a handful of supermodels, but they're, like, the top of the top? Yeah. Just to interject real quick, sleeping with me once is like sleeping with at least 1,000 landmines. Right. Right. Yeah. Think about maybe this is a better way that's, more,

7:46Rod Palmer practical to way to think about it is if your girlfriend or your wife, if the guy that she dated before you was like a six foot five like football player size dude who orange killed like 50 people, like that's gonna be

8:04Rod Palmer a lot different than, you know, somebody who's, you know, five foot eight kind of an orange cell, like the amount of the guy, you, somebody, somebody who's really good at orange pilling. It's, it's almost like, like a, like a, they're casting a spell. It's like the vampires in all the shows, like every person that they buy and that they turn it's like, they kind of have this special power over them. And that's kind of like when you orange pill somebody, like from, for the rest of their life, they will be coming to you to to seek answers like how do I which cold storage wallet do I buy? Which node do I get? Should I get a lightning channel?

8:43Rod Palmer Should I use Hash App or should I buy Bitcoin from River or from Bisk? Like, it's these have a lot of impact on their life, a lot of influence and a lot of charisma. And that's pretty intimidating if some, like, big six foot five dude with all that influence and orange building under his belt,

9:04Richard Greaser it'd be intimidating to have for your wife's ex ex boyfriend. I mean, who would you who would you say is more influential right now between Dennis and David? I think this I mean, honestly,

9:15Rod Palmer I think it's too close to call and I think that the only way we could really probably get a decent

9:25Richard Greaser dig on that is, if it was on Poly Market. How do we do you know how easy it is to set bets and create markets like that on on Poly Market? Because maybe that's something we should get into. I personally doubt,

9:37Rod Palmer but I from what I am aware of, it's, it's a pretty highly regulated, highly compliant platform. So it should be straightforward and it should be pretty, pretty reliable. If you're interested in checking that out, maybe we could go over that. Maybe we'll post the instructions. Yeah. I think,

9:58Richard Greaser the more gambling markets on on important topics like this, like who's the most influential orange color out there. Like, that that's the type of shit that matters. You know what I mean? And most of the stuff that people are focusing on employee market doesn't matter.

10:17Rod Palmer Right. Yeah. This is a really important thing because when you are kind of looking for guidance or looking for a framework or a blueprint for how you should approach orange pilling the people in your life, you have to, you kind of, it's like Preston Pysh's,

10:36Rod Palmer podcast. We study billionaires. They study billionaires to learn how to be good investors and value investors. They could buy stocks with dividends and things like that and if you're looking to, how can you be the most successful entrepreneur, you're going to study Dennis Porter or David Bailey and you're gonna learn from the strategies, the

10:56Rod Palmer philosophy, the values, the approach that those guys have. And if you emulate those, you know, you kind of tweak it to your skills and that's how you can become a really successful orange pillar.

11:11Rod Palmer So, knowing which passion to invest that time in, it would be nice to have a little bit more signal in that area.

11:21Richard Greaser I'm just amazed that Samsung Mau isn't in the conversation right now. Like, what what has he been doing? Has he been on vacation? Like,

11:30Rod Palmer you know, well Honestly, I think that, maybe we're a little biased to our location. Most of the important orange billing is going on right now in The United States, especially in the halls of Congress and in state capitals. But there's still billions of people in the rest of the world who, you know,

11:52Rod Palmer they they also use Bitcoin, it matters to them and that's really been more of Samson's focus. He's kind of let Dennis and David duke it out domestically

12:03Richard Greaser And he's gonna orange pill the rest of the world. I just don't, I don't think any of it counts unless you're tweeting about it. If you're not tweeting selfies,

12:11Rod Palmer But accountability, right? Like that's why you post pictures of yourself with your shirt off after you've been eating the carnivore diet, and, and doing devotes every day, you're inspiring other people to, to kind of follow your path the way that you were inspired. So if you are inspired by a great orange pillar and you have since become a great orange pillar yourself by following that methodology,

12:35Rod Palmer it's your duty to share that with the plants.

12:38Richard Greaser So, yeah, I mean, you need to document your proof of work because unfortunately So like, when you're, when you're deploying Hashrate, for example, it's broadcasted across the network. And so there's kind of like a the ability

12:57Richard Greaser to essentially deduce, like, how much hash rate there is total. And when you use a pool like Ocean pool, you know, you can you can point to, like, the hash rate and how much you're dedicating to it, publicly. Whereas,

13:14Richard Greaser when you're going and doing things real life, you you don't have a great way to broadcast it to the world so that they can see what's going on. And that's what the vehicle of social media essentially is. It's like people think social media is about going on there and discussing sports ball and sharing memes, but really it's the place to document your proof of work of what you're doing in your life. And, like, that's why we post our podcast on there

13:41Richard Greaser is to document our proof of work because if we didn't do that, it wouldn't be documented anywhere. Right. Exactly. It's

13:49Rod Palmer it it is it's why it's important to use Bitcoin because using a transaction, whatever, the transaction that makes it into a block that you control the keys to those GTXOs and you signed it and you are everything you do on chain is is it's a reflection of your past decisions. So if you just have Bitcoin, you don't use it, then you are you are not documenting your proof of work. You're kind of saying to all the people in the future who are looking back

14:20Rod Palmer looking back at Bitcoin's history and like imagine imagine a guy spends his whole life, he's a pleb, he spends his whole life stack in DCA and it's kind of a stack chain He's he's posting his proof of work on the timeline of all the screenshots of of the smash buys that he does. So the, the IRS can see it. Everybody can see it. It is an error there and he spends his whole life and he saves up 1.85 Bitcoin and he never spends it except to consolidate these ETXOs because he's, you know, he's in spaces and morning.

14:55Rod Palmer He's looking at Bitcoin Twitter. He knows to do the right things and he dies and he's never used it or spent it or gained any benefit from using it his entire life. And after a while, it becomes apparent that he didn't have any goods or he didn't have an orange pilled heir to carry on his on chain identity, his proof of work, his legacy.

15:20Rod Palmer And like, I just don't know. I just think that it would, you would look back on that person and you'd be like, wow, you were so early to Bitcoin. You actually almost got 2 Bitcoin to yourself. You worked your whole life for that and you never got any benefit from it. You never passed it on. You never demonstrated any proof of work. You may have never even learned how to use it. You might have been one of those people that everybody called a, you know, a Castellio cock, which we don't know what that word means, but we just, as historians, we can tell that it was a negative thing. And I don't know, like if that's, if that's how you wanna be seen in history with your own trade identity, it's, it's something to think about. The way you use Bitcoin, that is,

15:58Rod Palmer that is your proof of work for the rest of the future of Bitcoin and blockchain for people to study that. Do you think it should be a standard

16:08Richard Greaser for people to essentially set a time lock so that their funds get moved after a certain amount of time to kind of prevent that issue of people dying

16:16Rod Palmer without, what's going on? Right. Like you don't. Yeah. It's like, listen, everybody knows that like I'm running the holidays, especially you go on and you, you, you cheat on your carb or diet and you eat a bunch of seed oils and you know, you go out the next day and you get sunburned, just walking to get your mail. Cause you're such a fucking, the seed oils are just ruining your insides. You're not gonna notice to pay share that on Twitter. Like you, you don't, you can kind of keep up your,

16:43Rod Palmer your identity, your, as, as an alpha male, you don't have to post all of that. And you could do that too on chain where you could use a hash lock to,

16:52Richard Greaser to make people think that you were more based than you really were. Well, I think it was just that, you know, there's this problem, which is the most selfish thing to do is to huddle your Bitcoin into death. Because hoarding all your Bitcoins to yourself is kind of ridiculous. Like, you're you're just being you're being a freeloader. You're just being a a rent seeker, essentially. Like, you're not paying the miners any fees and Right. And you're not engaging in the peer to peer economy. They're all supporting value to value for value.

17:20Rod Palmer You are a, it's like, followers are like, are like welfare, like people who get welfare, welfare moms, people who just kind of live and leach off the state. And it's, you know, it should probably be harder to do that.

17:37Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, if so this is why, you know, my HODL tax or HODL tithe proposal is so interesting because, you know, all these people that are dying with their coins, They're essentially funding miners for all of eternity with the HODL tax. And so there's this Right. Yeah.

17:57Rod Palmer And it's the miners are those are like the watchmen at the gate. Those are the people who have sacrificed, you know, their profits. A miner, a lot of times, miners, it costs them more to get a Bitcoin than it costs you to just buy it on Coinbase, But they sacrificed that

18:18Rod Palmer to protect the network,

18:19Richard Greaser to protect the hodlers, to protect the the ordinals, to protect everything. I know I know Peter Thiel. Why did I say Peter Thiel? I'm mixing up names. Fred Thiel, his brother. Peter Thiel's brother. Fred Thiel, the the CEO of Marathon. They're best buds. Yeah. I know I know he has trouble sleeping at night because he fears for the security of the network, and that's, like, his primary, concern. And, like, you know, we need we need to take care of the individuals that are securing the network. They should be flying on private jets.

18:51Richard Greaser They should be able to afford it. They shouldn't be, you know, ridiculed to the disgrace of going on, commercial airlines because they're doing such an important job. And we really, like, face this issue, which is that, you know, the miners are gonna be poor unless we take strides to make them super rich and reward them for their hard work. Right, right. This

19:18Rod Palmer is one of the reasons it's important. So like I said at the beginning, it's been a very busy, busy, crazy week. So one of the things that we gotta talk about very soon that we were supposed to talk about last week was illegal memes in The UK, in England, but while we're on the topic of minors, so Kamala Harris, the she announced her first presidential

19:42Rod Palmer campaign policy this week, and it was, to put an end to price gouging because due inflation. So what this means is if she's gonna put these limits in place to prevent price gouging, what it does, and part of

19:60Rod Palmer the things she's kind of selling point here is that it prevents the miners from price gouging us on transaction fees during like a crisis. So if Udeon

20:14Rod Palmer is telling people the mid ordinals or these rings become more popular and people just start flooding the mempool and the transaction fees spike to like hundreds of SaaS per vByte, well, Kamala Harris' price control plan that if she becomes president will prevent the miners from doing this. So even when there is congestion and the more and the and the, you

20:39Rod Palmer know, competition from block space is really, heating up, you won't have to overpay. You'll still be able to get a cheap transaction and you'll still be able to use Bitcoin peer to peer and open lightning channels. But

20:54Rod Palmer this could potentially cause the miners to lose money. And this is why we have to pay the HODL tax because these miners need this extra income, especially when fees are artificially low in the, you know, which is most days because of the ETF,

21:14Rod Palmer reducing taxation or transaction fee rates on chain. Like what do you think about that? Like device controls on the fees that you can charge as a miner? Well, I think

21:24Richard Greaser the way to implement this would be essentially to allow the Federal Reserve to control, Bitcoin development so they can kinda arbitrarily raise and lower the block size depending on the the transaction volume

21:43Richard Greaser and demand. And it would allow for there to be, you know, a similar mechanism as the way that they control interest rates today, but specifically around fees.

21:56Rod Palmer Right. So like they could, they could just flood the mempool with like empty transactions or whatever and buy up lock space when it was necessary, and then they could, subsidize and and basically drive those fees down just kind of based on their monetary policy.

22:15Rod Palmer Do you think that Tether or now that Tether is be, you can transact it over Lightning, via Taproot assets? Do you think that that plays a role in this, potential solution?

22:30Richard Greaser I think absolutely. I mean, I think what we're gonna find is that, Bitcoin's most important use case is for facilitating the transaction of dollars. And, and, you know, this is just part of, like, you know, maybe maybe some of the listeners

22:49Richard Greaser are kinda confused, because we're kinda taking a detour from, like, the general, stance that most Bitcoin podcasters have taken. But, like, we're we're gonna be having credentialed economists and people with all sorts of different credentials coming into the space

23:07Richard Greaser that are gonna have very different ideas on the way that Bitcoin should work. And this is just part of, you know, the world finding out that Bitcoin is one and hyper Bitcoinization. Like, there's there's trade offs. Like, you know, Dennis Porter and David Bailey are out there teaching, you know, some of the most important people, you know, what it means to be a Bitcoin plaid. And now they're coming to the industry, but they have a lot of, you know, they have a different background, than, you know, just like your average, plaid that got interested this in this because of the podcast

23:40Richard Greaser ecosystem. But Peter Schiff has a very different background than than many of us.

23:46Unknown When I got fired from my job at Best Buy as the assistant manager of the Geek Squad for refusing to get the COVID vaccine, I was having trouble finding a rewarding new career. If you want to be successful, it's important to have a good education and the right skills. Graduating from ITT Tech's cypherpunk program really changed his life and gave him a feeling of self worth. My cypherpunk education from ITT Tech helped me get a stable Twitter Spaces co hosting job and multiple invitations to be a guest on Bitcoin podcasts.

24:13Rod Palmer I've gained thousands of new Twitter followers. Since getting his credentials, he has become the biggest Bitcoin influencer at our local meetup, and don't forget to tell them the other thing.

24:22Unknown Well, I'm proud to announce I'm finally launching my own Bitcoin podcast.

24:26Rod Palmer We are educators helping cypherpunks build a foundation for hyper Bitcoinization. IATT Technical Institute. Education for cypherpunks. Lloyd, that's a good point. Like, when people realize

24:44Rod Palmer how that the purpose of Bitcoin is to facilitate, trade volume and transaction volume of US dollars, It's a very powerful new paradigm that, I mean, when NMT

24:60Rod Palmer people, the people who follow modern monetary theory, like, Stephanie Kelton is, she's kind of their main influencer, when they realize, like, how much money they could really circulate through that system and really kind of break records for the amount of of US dollars traded. Like people are gonna be really impressed by that. And

25:25Rod Palmer I even saw like they have a proposal already. It's kinda like their version of project twenty twenty five. And it would be to, to give everybody UBI, but you would be able to opt in to receiving your UBI as, as like a, a top up on your like lightning liquidity on your node.

25:46Rod Palmer So like you, they could basically install Taproot Tethers directly onto your node and you could just start boom, transacting with those, boosting your favorite podcast. Like you don't even, you don't even have to like buy anything, move it from your bank account. It's just already straight in the sats. Yeah. I just think it's I I find it really exciting

26:03Richard Greaser that, Dennis is currently orange peeling Kamala Harris in in their campaign. And I think they're gonna bring a lot of really good ideas to this industry. And, you know Did you see that spaces that the that he hosted is crypto for Arris? I listened to a little bit of it. Unfortunately, I didn't get the the

26:22Rod Palmer I heard that it's a lot of signal. Yeah. And it's so I think there's also a misconception about everybody that in the Bitcoin space, they support Donald Trump. He spoke at the conference, people, they really like to make sure a lot of memes, but there are a lot of people

26:43Rod Palmer who, I mean, one of them we talk about all the time, Terrence Yang, he is an outspoken, supporter of Kamala Harris. It's like in his profile, he's like crypto for Harris like ambassador. And that there's a lot more support for her than than you might see on Bitcoin Twitter. There's even the group that is now actually emerging on Bitcoin Twitter, Cypherpunks for Harris, and they are they are worried that Donald Trump is, he wants to ban dark matter. He wants to support Bitcoin, but he wants to kind of ban dark matter. He doesn't want

27:19Rod Palmer Cypherpunks to be able to use Bitcoin. He wants, his, he wants the government, he wants corporations, he wants Elon Musk, like his allies to be able to use Bitcoin, but not CypherPunks. And so crypto or CypherPunks for Arris, they're really trying to move with that message I don't know how it's being received, but I mean with Cypherpunks for Harris, Harris Yang and Dennis Porter, as well as the Krasenstein

27:45Rod Palmer brothers, those guys are very, they have a lot more followers than most people in the Bitcoin space Yeah. Kind of watching all this play out has been really interesting because I feel like,

27:56Richard Greaser you know, Dennis Porter and the Krasensteins and Terrence Yang is kind of like one wing of, the Avengers. Like, it's Captain America. Right. And David Bailey is kinda more on the side of Iron Man. And there's kind of a sort of civil war that's going on here in the Podkoff ecosystem.

28:17Richard Greaser But I think they'll figure it out, you know, and come together in the future. But, you know, it makes me think. So, like, right now, David Bailey is, you know, advising Trump. And Dennis Porter is advising Kamala. And, you know, Dennis on a on a space actually after the one,

28:37Richard Greaser that you were referencing because I he went into Huddl Magoo space. And he announced that he would be announcing his twenty twenty eight presidential candidacy. I think it's very I think it's very interesting. Like, do you think I think there's a high likelihood we could see David Bailey versus Dennis Porter

28:58Richard Greaser in the twenty twenty eight presidential campaign or, election.

29:02Rod Palmer Well, I mean, by the time Dennis by when we get to that campaign four years from now, it's gonna be kind of crazy to think about how many people Dennis is orange pilled. And if you go back to what I was saying earlier about kind of like that spell, that orange pilling somebody kind of is equivalent to, he's gonna have a lot of, of, of voters under his spell from being orange pilled by him. It's gonna be a very formidable political opponent. Yeah, before we get back, before we get to memes being illegal

29:33Rod Palmer in England, we do need to give, one more acknowledgement to the other person who does the most orange filling, which is Udi and the Taproot Wizards. Unfortunately not everybody

29:47Rod Palmer is proud or not everybody supports, the Wizards because they are essentially, orange pilling, shitcoiners. And they're bringing,

29:58Rod Palmer Somebody made an analogy. It's like the Democrats in The United States, are just letting illegal aliens just pillar over the border. It's like, that's what Moody's doing. He's just pulling down the border and just letting shitcoiners, orange pill shitcoiners just flood it. And people like Corey Klitzden at SWA, he doesn't think that the shitcoiners are sending their best. He thinks it's, you know, there's people who say that these shitcoiners are former devs of projects that, you know, were assassination token coins on Solana. These are

30:30Rod Palmer scammers from Cardano, XRP, etcetera. But because

30:40Rod Palmer Bitcoin is a permissionless peer to peer system, They are now known runners, and they are a part of this community, so they're here to stay, but, most people kind of believe that Dennis Porter and and and David Bailey, they're going towards the politicians,

30:57Rod Palmer the, the Chamber of Commerce, things like that, which is a better,

31:02Richard Greaser influence for this for this community. I think Gowdy's role is gonna be very important, one, going forward because, you know, there has to be somebody so Donald Trump, you know, says he wants all the Bitcoins to be mined in The US. And I think that's gonna be, you know, kind of a growing trend, you know, whether he's selected or not in this next election. But,

31:27Richard Greaser you know, if the world if it land the world in The United States hyperbitcoinizes, you know, Oodie's there to fulfill an important role of ensuring The US continues to fund, you know, our greatest ally in The Middle East. 100%. Yeah.

31:43Rod Palmer It is a we did talk about this a little bit, but it is a not everything on Bitcoin that matters is happening in The United States. There are ancillary projects and ancillary markets

31:57Rod Palmer outside of of The US that, a lot of people do do actually use, and they they do matter and they they could potentially provide marginal benefit to the network. But, yeah, like the the focus is is here in The United States. But across the ocean in The United Kingdom,

32:19Rod Palmer honestly, I've had to believe I still am in a little bit in shock and media denial. Like, I'm wondering, is this like a PSIOP campaign? It but memes and shit pasting has been, criminalized

32:34Rod Palmer in England. People are going to jail swiftly. They have, like, televised, these are like show courts, where where people who post the best memes are in the country are, given the chance to be on TV and then put them in, they're sent to jail.

32:51Rod Palmer And I talked to a buddy. I asked him like how things were going, how it was living in England right now. And he told me, you know, Hey, I can't complain. And I said, Really? Like I'm seeing all this crazy stuff on the news. He's like, No, I'm serious. I can't complain. If I complain, I'm gonna get arrested. They're tapping, they're listening to my phone.

33:12Rod Palmer And

33:13Richard Greaser it's dystopian as fuck. I don't know. It's not great. Well, I mean, I think there's a reason why some of the greatest dystopian authors come from, England. And, like, this is something we should be very concerned as as Americans, because there there have been restrictions to

33:32Richard Greaser or attempts to restrict their constitutional rights. And the thing that people need to understand is that memes are more than just a first first amendment memes are more than a first amendment protected activity. They are also a Second Amendment

33:48Rod Palmer protected activity. Exactly. Memes are memes. Yeah. Listen, if I'm standing right in front of you, a blow to the chest is gonna be the the worst thing you can do to me. But if I am across space and time away from you outside of the range of your,

34:08Rod Palmer of your gun, nothing more fatal than a really banger meme And like that can be when we turn that power of meme ing and shitposting at the state,

34:22Rod Palmer they crumble almost immediately. They know this. And so like if we ever wanted to take down the state, if we're not fed up with the state, we turn our meme energy at them. They're dying. They do not last very long. That's why they tried to censor Twitter.

34:40Rod Palmer That's why they're sending people to jail in The UK and it's encroaching in on us here. And right now, Americans, they like their government. They don't want they don't wanna duck on their own government. They're, they're proud of their government. They stand up for the national anthem. They put their hand over their heart. They say the pledge of allegiance when the military is blowing shit up and they have rock and roll behind a commercial with like fighter planes and and marines, like we fucking, we get a, our heart rate our heart rate goes up. It's like a adrenaline rush. We're proud to be American. We don't wanna dunk on America. But if we had to,

35:17Rod Palmer we could. And they are trying to slowly kind of construct the iron dome of meme defenses to prevent us from doing that. They learned from the Bitcoiners in The Middle East how to prevent,

35:33Rod Palmer you know, criticism from crashing your regime.

35:38Richard Greaser You need the iron don't. Yeah. And so I think the the kind of defense on our end is, like, we have to be like the Yemenis. So essentially what they do is Right. There is. Yeah. We're like the Houthis. So what they're gonna do So Sropids. Yeah.

35:56Richard Greaser Exactly. Because you can essentially so constructing this iron dome is very expensive. But for us to to go open up accounts on Twitter and shitposts is very inexpensive, very low effort. Spin up a lightning wallet, spin up a new Bitcoin node anywhere, right? It's very easy, very cheap. Yeah. I mean, we can we can flood these guys with such a volume of memes that they that their iron domes can't they can't possibly stop us.

36:27Richard Greaser And then, you know, when they try and, you know, go after us in different ways other than just censoring us, we're protected by the first and the second amendment. And so there's nothing that they could do.

36:38Rod Palmer So, this is a good example of this in action. Americans didn't direct this at their own government but we were able to direct it at England and we were helping, British plagues take down their government. It's like their prime minister now has a, approval rating of like 22%

36:59Rod Palmer and it's like dropped like 20%, like the past two weeks because American memebers were filling the And honestly, if you don't know this, if you go on to the law enforcement websites of The United Kingdom, any of their local or federal governments, you can fill out a complaint, you can file a police report against

37:19Rod Palmer a person or, you know, a property, a company. And by law, every, you know, every single report has to be investigated by the British police, by British law enforcement.

37:32Rod Palmer So you can like go on Google maps, you can zoom in and you can get like addresses and you can get zip codes or whatever they have, whatever they call their zip codes, but you can get that data and you can use open source technology to craft, you know, like you can use AI and say, fill me out a police report for this, police in England, you know, and basically you could say like, hey, my neighbors are Albanian.

37:57Rod Palmer They should be arrested and why? Because they're Albanian. Well, you know, you could you could say that somebody was using a shitcoin. You could you could say, like, Predator has been sending a lot of criminal complaints, saying people have been using Ethereum, illegally and trading unregistered securities. And so you can DDOS.

38:17Rod Palmer You can basically, denial of service attack, like what Anonymous used to do, the entire British law enforcement infrastructure, and it's working. So if you're the Houthis in The Middle East, you can use non KYC,

38:33Rod Palmer open source, drones, open source missiles, open source rockets, all this non KYC and you and you can get basically your missiles don't actually dip past the iron dome, but it costs your enemy a billion dollars to protect your rocket that only costs you a $100 Eventually they'll run out of money or that the print it, which will if they have to print it, your Bitcoin

38:56Rod Palmer will go up in value and you'll actually have more money than that. Yeah. I think we need to we need to fire our missiles

39:03Richard Greaser at The UK, but then we also need to provide humanitarian aid in the form of pallets of, Barbara Red cigarettes.

39:12Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. This is this is a great time to, remember that people in these really stressful, mean battles with their government, you know, they they need access to nicotine. They need access to cigarettes. And honestly, I don't know if it would make it into The China, and I think they deserve access to, non KYC feet pics as well.

39:36Richard Greaser Mhmm. Yeah. I mean, I would be willing to donate a bunch of my feet pics to the British people that need some relief. Just hit me up in the DMs. Absolutely.

39:48Rod Palmer Wow, man. That was a that was a big intro, got through our topics. But we would be remiss if we don't take time. I think a lot of people have been asking about it, so it's time to talk a little bit about what is the intellectual Silk Road? And that question, the answer to that question,

40:11Rod Palmer it's it's it's gonna be different for everybody. So I guess I start by saying, like, how would you describe it? Richard.

40:19Richard Greaser I think the intellectual silk road is kind of a collection of different individuals in the content ecosystem that either support content creators or create content creators who are kind of aligned with our mission of, defeating Podkoff and,

40:39Richard Greaser like breaking this model narrative that's trying to control everybody. Right.

40:45Rod Palmer It's a you know, I I think to try to break it down as most identifiable as possible. Right now, most of us,

40:60Rod Palmer the choirs, alpha males, cypher punks, we are in the group chat. We're not working. The economy is going into a recession because most of us have to have jobs are not actually doing our jobs. We're actually spending all day in group chats discussing game theory, analyzing incentives, talking about, like, what do you think the price is? What's the fee market look like on on Bitcoin? Like, what's the what's the hash rate? We're, like, keeping all of these metrics and all of this analysis, and we're synthesizing

41:31Rod Palmer it and using it to solve all the problems in the world in each group chat. And now if you were to think of that, accept a decentralized

41:44Rod Palmer network of different group chats on different devices, on different platforms, on different apps, fountain, nostril, Telegram,

41:56Rod Palmer Signal, Twitter, you know, Facebook Messenger, whatever, and these networks and these connections that you build

42:08Rod Palmer to the people who are you're discussing this game, you're solving these problems with. It's a way for you to have a decentralized marketplace of ideas so we can solve all the world's problems. Bitcoin fixes this, but this is the behind the scenes look at how it's fixing it. It's the intellectual Silk Road and you don't have to run the intellectual Silk Road software. You can fork it. You can have your own decentralized,

42:36Rod Palmer non compliant, value for value circular economy using Fedimint, you know, or lightning rods or liquid. It's up to you. Yeah, I mean, you can see

42:48Richard Greaser like while the intellectual Silk Road is not very public, it's very active and it's essentially a secret society. So you look at a lot of the inefficiencies happening in in the labor market right now where, you know, people aren't,

43:05Richard Greaser like, doing their day to day jobs. They're sitting on Telegram having conversations, but they're also listening to full time or, you know, podcast full time. You know? Because when you're listening to Bitcoin podcast forty hours a week, you don't really have time to participate in your job. So, like, you know, you ask why the Secret Service is so incompetent during the attempted Trump assassination.

43:29Richard Greaser It's because they were listening to to Bitcoin podcast Right. Instead of doing their jobs. Exactly. And

43:36Rod Palmer we talked about this meme war and taking down the state with our memes and dunking on the government and inevitably there's going to be crackdowns on some of the best memes,

43:51Rod Palmer the kind of stuff that gets you, gets you recognized at your company by the HR department because it was so good. Like those kind of memes, if they're gonna make those if they don't make them downright illegal, they'll make them very hard to post. And we, we can be go back to like the 2020 era on Twitter. It was like the best memes were the hardest to post. And the intellectual Silk Road is this

44:17Rod Palmer it's like the, you know, Henry Tadman and the Underground Railroad or just the Silk Road, the one that, Ross has been unjustly imprisoned for building. It's how those memes are are moved and traded and shared and put into position to be the most effective and

44:39Rod Palmer posted when it's the right time to be posted and when it's gonna be the most high rate of success to be posted. And, it's also it's also how we defeat the the Byzantine generals problem of,

44:52Rod Palmer of the meme war against the government. If we can't post the memes on orbitals,

44:59Richard Greaser because the ocean has raised too high. Well, the reason why we started this endeavor with the intellectual Silk Road is we realized we were kinda outmatched in resources against the CIA. The CIA has been memeing really, really hard. And, you know, Podkoff is definitely not putting up any sort of

45:21Richard Greaser resistance to them and in many ways actually supporting them in their efforts. And so we realized we had to find, you know, kind of a sly roundabout way to out meme the CIA and this is how it's being done.

45:36Rod Palmer Right. They think about it. Ever since Elon hid the, the likes on Twitter, well, it's important context to know which is that the amount of likes and engagements that a post gets on social media, that affects the algorithm, that affects its, reach. So the amount of reach, the amount of people who see a meme is affected by how many people like it in such cases.

46:00Rod Palmer So if the likes are private, now the CIA is it's much easier for them or any other company to to create through, you know, AI or some other sophisticated software,

46:14Rod Palmer thousands, millions of accounts just to go and like their favorite memes so that the CIA's favorite memes get shown in everybody's timelines, they get more likes and more followers than you. It's, you have to have a way around that. We have to be able to post banger tweets that get in front of people's eyes so they can be educated.

46:40Richard Greaser And I I think this is something that's interesting about what we're accomplishing is we are getting in front of people's eyes. It's just not that we're getting very much engagement. Because this is like one of the problems when you're act operating on a website that is has such an active civil, attack happening against us that it becomes hard to engage, you know, what the engagement

47:03Rod Palmer Right. It's hard to know if you if you're interacting with a Fed or if you're interacting with another intellectual Silk Road member just because they claim to be an intellectual Silk Road member or to be intellectual Silk Road material. And I think, if you think of it, if you want to think of it intellectual Silk Road, it's kind of like a ethical, nonviolent, decentralized,

47:26Rod Palmer non KYC Sopranos that you see in The Sopranos. And one of the things that's important about The Sopranos is that they were a tight knit group and they even used like special ways of communicating with each other and testing each other to make sure that they were, not feds or they were not bots or scammers.

47:45Rod Palmer You know, it's like they would talk on the phone, they would talk about, they wouldn't call it the mafia. They would call it this thing of ours. And so we can say around normies, like, if you're talking about the intellectual silk road and you don't know who's listening, it's this thing of ours. And it's, you know, if you're, if you're taught, if, if you're a little closer to somebody and you want to protect your upset and you want to make sure that this person's really not fed, then the best thing you can do is take them out

48:13Rod Palmer someday with you, go out in the sun on a hot sunny day, take your shirts off, chop some oil in the sun, no sunscreen, drink raw milk, smoke non KYC cigarettes, spend a couple hours doing that. If they can make it through that, that person is obviously aside for pot They're like, they're

48:32Rod Palmer not eating seed oils, they're working out, they drink raw milk They can drink, they prefer to drink raw milk and they smoke it on KYC cigarettes It's like kind of this, it's like a fed filter and that's the kind of stuff that that you can do

48:46Richard Greaser and it enhances the security and it strengthens the signal to help you break through that civil attack. Sounds like they need to enjoy and have a good time at Lake Satoshi and not piss anybody off and that's kinda how you can tell if they're legit or not.

49:00Rod Palmer Right. If you're in if you're at the Bitcoin conference in Vegas, neck here, it's cool because it's like, oh, everybody can smoke inside. Well, it's it's an easy thing to it's an easy way to, like, trick somebody into thinking, oh, this guy's not a face smoking inside. But they KYC'd. I mean, Vegas,

49:19Rod Palmer to get into any building in Vegas, you gotta be KYC'd. They got cameras everywhere. It's got some of the strictest anti money laundering, KYC laws in the country. They've got it down to a process. So when you're in a place like that, it's so difficult to maintain your privacy or to know when you're interacting with a spook that it leaks a down sheet. You know,

49:40Richard Greaser it's a lot easier. There's no TSA. I wonder if in Vegas, if we should employ, like, some I I've got some interesting tactics that we could use to confuse the spooks. They're trying to monitor

49:54Richard Greaser all of us there. I think that if we like, we could take turns with each other's phones and hand them around and walk around with them. It just confused them just like very thoroughly. Essentially, it's coin joining our cell phones and all of our data and information. So when they try and match it with our facial recognition,

50:17Richard Greaser they're gonna be absolutely baffled.

50:19Rod Palmer Right. Most most surveillance apparatuses in cities or just like the the the broader mobile networks where they use because anybody can buy this data. Right? So they found out that the assassin from, from, from Pennsylvania, Crooks,

50:35Rod Palmer they found out through his publicly available, cell phone location data that, he was in the same building, as the FBI, in Washington, DC. It's like this, building, this mall, kind of in Downtown Washington, DC for all the kind of field agents where the FBI, where they work. And they could tell that that Matthew Kirks was there twice, a few months before he took that shot. So it's like,

51:00Rod Palmer don't, I don't really, I don't know why they, they, they put that in the news, but it just made me think about the fact that, it's a pretty general accuracy, but in Vegas, they can know like down to the table, the seat you're sitting at the room, you're in the bathroom stall, you'd line into like where you are based on where your cell phone is. So it'd just be kind of goofy and fun to,

51:22Rod Palmer to kind of phone nix them, coin join your phones. Yeah, we should definitely coin join our phones

51:30Richard Greaser and give the spooks a hard time. I'm looking forward to that. I think we're gonna just like completely baffle them. And then we can mix the coin joining with a bunch of noncompliant memes. And so when you're sitting in a stall,

51:46Richard Greaser you can slap up some stickers with some memes on them.

51:50Rod Palmer Hell yeah, hell yeah, that's some guerrilla marketing. But I guess my next question would be why, what would you say to the person why they should join the intellectual Silk Road? Not because we need their help, but why should they do it for themselves? Well, I think the primary reason why somebody should join the intellectual

52:09Richard Greaser silk road, like I don't even think I need to do a whole lot of selling for anybody. Like all you have to do is you have to go and follow PodCom's Twitter account for like two weeks. And then just kinda pay attention to what the mononarrative

52:28Richard Greaser is and the way that they're essentially trying to discourage us from using products like Nostr and engaging in the value for value economy and then you'll understand the importance of what we're trying to do as far as resisting it. So like to understand the importance of the resistance, you have to understand

52:51Richard Greaser the the entity that we're trying to resist. I think that's one of the problems. It's like most people, they just haven't, they haven't really seen the failings of Podkoff very clearly. But since we've forced them out of the shadows and into the public eye and

53:09Richard Greaser they're getting a lot of scrutiny from the plebs who are seeing their attempts to control us. Yeah.

53:17Rod Palmer Yeah. It's kind of a who do you wanna be associated with type of thing. Like you will, you scroll that timeline and then you, you see what they're all about. And it's like, do I wanna be known as like, this is my tribe. And it's, it's it kinda makes me think like if when you first tell somebody about this new technology you've learned about and you wanna share it with everybody

53:41Rod Palmer and they don't know much about it, they're gonna see PodConf as like when they go on social media and think that that's what you're all about. Or if like you're from Arizona and you tell somebody about it there and they're like, I'm going to go on further and learn about this. And they see like Arizona hodl as like his like, you know, screen name. It's like, that's this person is like, this is like Arizona's Bitcoin, like named Bitcoin. Or like, this is like the guy that kind of represents everybody in Arizona. And so like, if you look at his timeline, you might not agree with this stuff he's posting. You wanna like have, you wanna be a part of, you know, a community that, you're proud when they look it up. They, they, that they know that that's what you fight for. Wholeheartedly agree.

54:22Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it it's just like, you know, there there's other issues like the fact that, like, I think right now in particular, like, as we're watching the issues going on with, you know, a lot of different companies in the industry like Swan, you know, that are essentially running out of money. Like, we're seeing a consistent issue

54:44Richard Greaser in the PodConf ecosystem, which is there's all these these companies that kinda come and exist and they're funded by VCs. And the VCs have strict parameters of them sponsoring certain types of podcasts,

55:00Richard Greaser like what Bitcoin did and going and having booths at the conferences like Ordinals Magazine and it bankrupts them. And it's very, very toxic for the larger community because we wanna be building sustainable products and companies. But because

55:19Richard Greaser these conferences and these podcasts are so expensive to sponsor, there's no way for them to kinda continue. And it it's problematic for all the plebs that are working there. You know, they constantly have to update their resume.

55:35Rod Palmer Yeah. It's And It's It's very telling because the amount of work, the amount of money they have to spend and are willing to spend to control the narrative is said the cost is so high that it kills most people who try to do it. Whoever tries to control the narrative,

55:55Rod Palmer they, they go bankrupt and they go, or they go to jail or they just, they, they unplug. But yet people are still out there bidding up the price of, of ad space on what Bitcoin did, you know, and and the populace will place

56:12Rod Palmer it just because they want they need so badly to control the narrative. But these companies, as you said, they have compliance departments, and compliance departments have a lot of overs oversight of memes. And just like, Peter Thiel was talking about on Joe Rogan, this last the other day, like the CIA and the NSA,

56:33Rod Palmer these powerful, formerly powerful deep state entities, he says that they're probably a lot less effective and are probably doing a lot less things because now if they've got compliance departments, it it basically destroys their effectiveness. And it's it's same just same for these companies. Like, Compliant means

56:53Rod Palmer are too expensive and too ineffective to really have an effect that they are everywhere. Well,

57:00Richard Greaser I think having a compliance department is just like a complete it's like a facade of compliance. Like it doesn't actually signify, you know, true compliance because there's all these aspects of of government that they constantly claim to be compliant and yet they're not. And like a notable example of this, you know, as pointed out by predator for years is that, you know, Coinbase tries to present themselves

57:25Richard Greaser as the most compliant exchange in the world. Right? And yet they've been trading unregistered securities for a very long time.

57:36Rod Palmer Yeah. The it's, it's to get back to thermodynamics, to the physics that underline all of this,

57:46Rod Palmer when you see a star in the sky at night, that is that is not that star in the state that it actually is. That's in some cases what it looked like millions of light years ago and you're only seeing it as it reaches you.

58:02Rod Palmer Because of these companies, because these government agencies are they're kinda like the compliance pantillioners. They are the ones who create the compliance. They're the ones who set it in stone and helped shift it and shape it when it's put into law,

58:19Rod Palmer that they're the ones that benefit from it. When it, you know, when it first goes into law by the over time, the compliance laws, these regulations that be completely ineffective and worthless, they don't benefit anybody, but they did benefit Coinbase. They did benefit these, you know, the SEC, the CIA, the people who wrote these compliance laws. So by the time you are able to read the the compliance regulations, understand them,

58:43Rod Palmer and then construct a company a business model that follows those compliance standards, they're already out of date, they're already, you know, it's they're they're invalid,

58:58Rod Palmer they're deprecated. And so you think you're you spent all this money and all this energy to be compliant and you think you are only to find out that the rules have changed since then. And now you are considered non compliant and you are gonna go to jail. Where did he shut down? Yeah. I mean, I happened to see the the Binance.

59:16Richard Greaser He thought that It happened to Samroy. Yep. It happens to the best. And, yeah. I mean, this is why I I think we've taken a stance of, you know, supporting this compliance strike that, you know, many people have been promoting this because it you know, people have to realize that

59:36Richard Greaser it's not a winning strategy. It's actually, you know, more expensive and confusing. But,

59:43Unknown Man, I can't believe my tax bill. I still owe taxes from last year, and now I owe more. I don't know how I'll ever be able to pay this off. Oh, wow. That's crazy.

59:54Unknown I don't know how you can even afford to live if you can't afford to pay taxes. I don't have that issue right now.

59:59Unknown Yeah. It's getting impossible to afford to eat food. I'm afraid my kids are going to grow up retarded because all I can feed them is ramen and peanut butter. How in the hell can you afford to pay your taxes right now?

1:00:11Unknown Yeah. I feed my kids steak every night for dinner. Do you really wanna know the secret to how I can afford taxes?

1:00:17Unknown Yes. Tell me. I need to figure out a way to get the IRS off my dick.

1:00:22Unknown The way you can afford taxes is you give your government issued ID to an app on your cell phone that lets you buy Bitcoin. You then withdraw that Bitcoin to a hardware wallet that you bought with your debit card. But before you do any of this, you have to listen to at least forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts, read the Bitcoin standard, and sign up for an account on Twitter.

1:00:40Unknown Oh, wow. I'm glad there is another way I can put my personal identification on the Internet and that it can help me afford to pay taxes. But isn't a Bitcoin kind of expensive?

1:00:50Unknown No. You're a dumbass, and this is why you can't pay taxes. Go read the Bitcoin standard and listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts, and then you will know the secret to how to afford paying taxes. But don't get confused. If you listen to some of Peter McCormack's old episodes, his old sponsors aren't in business anymore.

1:01:09AI Dennis Porter Hello. This is AI Dennis Porter. If you are out there struggling to pay your taxes, there is hope. With Bitcoin, you can save your money. And as it goes up in value, you will be able to afford to pay your taxes. Bitcoin is the best tool at our disposal to comply. Don't worry because I will protect your fundamental right to pay taxes.

1:01:29Richard Greaser Yeah. I think, I don't know. I think what we got going on here with the intellectual Silk Road is, you know, very, very special. And I think it's something to look forward to, and to continue to monitor and watch. And we'll have some big plans coming next year in Vegas. Yeah.

1:01:47Rod Palmer And for people who are interested in joining, you may be asked, but there's no guarantee. There's no website.

1:01:60Rod Palmer There's no email address. There's no individual DM, group chat, or anything like that that can vouch for you and everybody else recognizes. It's kinda like a node.

1:02:15Rod Palmer Just because you connect to one node doesn't mean it's the right network and it doesn't mean the other doesn't recognize it. But if you search it out, you will finally get connected. And then, then you'll just kind of know it. And that's kind of the only instructions I've got for now, but, I wanna make sure that everybody knows in terms of who's eligible, pretty much everybody. It's non KYC, even if you're a pep or wizard, you have a history of Minari's,

1:02:42Rod Palmer you're Terrence Yang, or a girl. You're still eligible based on your

1:02:49Richard Greaser proof of work. I've been really surprised. The more I dig into it, I keep on finding more and more women interacting with Bitcoin. And I didn't realize there were so many women here.

1:02:58Rod Palmer Sometimes they're disguised. Sometimes they have, they're an anon on on social media and they have really

1:03:10Rod Palmer intelligent opinions and like really based like theories. And it's like, wow, I can't believe I found out later. Like that was a crow the whole time. Would've They caught me off guard.

1:03:21Richard Greaser Well, I'm just, you know, they're the type of women and I and I guess I under underestimated women in general because I just figured that, you know, all women in the industry would try and leverage the fact that they're women to get all the engagement from simps. But Right. There's a lot of women that, you know, do not try and, engagement for the simps. They're just they're they're just here to They're just here to transact adversarially.

1:03:48Rod Palmer Mhmm. They're not here for to impress you or tiki you to buy their, their their tutorial course. They're just here to transact adversarially and then they they wanna be treated as peers. Yeah.

1:04:03Richard Greaser Because I I think, you know, when when people think of women in Bitcoin, like, they instantly go to thinking of people like Michelle Weekley and Natalie Burnell, People that are on the PodConf tour that, you know, get a lot of attention, you know, not for, like, you know, any reasons like they're saying anything interesting or helpful, but because they're, you know, using their status as a woman to engagement form. But, yeah, I mean, there's a whole army of based women out there.

1:04:34Richard Greaser And so I think they just wanna keep a low profile because I think the Sims can be kind of overwhelming at times. Like look what Lane Alden has to deal with on a on a daily basis with all the sims. It must be exhausting.

1:04:49Rod Palmer Hell, yeah. Yeah. It's when you got the looks and the brains and the and you mix in the macro, that is a

1:04:60Richard Greaser it's kinda like a I don't know, like a a scent magnet. I mean, I find it hard for my for me myself not to scent for her. She's kind of a babe. Like, I I didn't realize how much she was a babe of a babe she was until she, notified the world that, she does indeed have a left ear. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that was a good story.

1:05:20Rod Palmer I didn't I didn't think we ever see that. It's kinda like, the show home improvement back in the nineties, the 10/00, and it was like Wilson, you ever saw it after his face. He's always behind the gate. I just never thought we'd see that that ear. Ours, you know, I I didn't think it existed. I mean, there's, I don't know. There there's many things,

1:05:40Richard Greaser you know, that are kinda like out there in in the in the lore, that I think we're kinda conditioned to believe in could be real, but like because they're so mythical. So like, you know, some examples of this include, like, Atlantis

1:05:58Richard Greaser or, El Dorado. And I would say, Lynn Alden's left ear, you know, kinda falls into the same category as, like, these these mythical ancient sites

1:06:11Richard Greaser that

1:06:13Rod Palmer are Yeah, if you have an ear fetish, man, it's like the Ark of the Covenant. That's like the holographic Charizard.

1:06:21Richard Greaser Well, it's kind of interesting. So, you know, if you think about it, so Lynn could could have been, intentionally holding back, revealing her left ear as a way to kinda, like, develop a comp competitor to these decentralized peer to peer

1:06:41Rod Palmer foot pick markets. It's an ear ear pictures are it's a niche market, but, I dare to you. It's underserved. Like, because I need a, you can get a picture of an ear anywhere. It's like the guy from Big Lebowski and get you a finger by 6PM, dude. But what you get, you get an ear that nobody else has spotted, like a camera hasn't captured before. That was a little more

1:07:04Richard Greaser special. But but it's not just anybody's year. It's, Of course. Lynn Alden's year. It's a very special year. And, you know, is one one thing that was really interesting about Lynn's post about it is that she revealed that her mother also concealed her ear. So maybe this is an intergenerational like wealth building strategy

1:07:25Rod Palmer that they've been employing. Right. Like in like one of the most successful cultures of all time, Japan, for thousands of years, they they bound feet. It's like

1:07:35Richard Greaser the Bitcoin citadels, the the women will seal the year. Yeah, that's, you know, for anybody thinking that citadels won't work. I mean, think about the revenue stream of, you know, your picks that opens up. Like, we'll be able to, you know, sit back and and buy Bitcoin, you know, because we're gonna be generating our own power in our citadels and all of it will be funded by low effort activities like feed picks and earpicks.

1:08:03Rod Palmer And it's true. Once we're able to three d print many nuclear reactors, open source, in our citadels, it's really

1:08:13Rod Palmer so much productivity and, you know, energy and all the spare capacity. It's gonna be crazy. I guess quick question, Dooley, anybody, anybody ever offered you any money for your earpicks? We don't we talked about feetpicks, but earpicks?

1:08:43Kaylee Welch People have definitely offered me money for ear picks, but it's not been as lucrative as the feet pick market. Oh, wow.

1:08:49Rod Palmer Well, maybe maybe know that you're a producer that'll, price will go up. Yeah.

1:08:56Richard Greaser Well, I mean, you know, I I think the unfortunate thing about Kaylee is that she has not, concealed her ears. So they're, like, already out there. You got any final thoughts for wrapping wrapping this up, Rod, before I go over to the found boost?

1:09:13Rod Palmer No. I think, if you're if you're interested in the intellectual Silk Road, reach out, to learn more. And, I wanted to talk about some other topics today, but, I think we, we covered a lot of good stuff. So, we'll save it for next week, except for one more before

1:09:33Rod Palmer it didn't wanna go without referencing. You talked about,

1:09:37Richard Greaser a special cigarette brand. Yeah. I mean, I've been talking with, some members about of the intellectual Silk Road about launching, intellectual Silk Road cigarettes, that you can only have access to if you're, you know, an actual member of the secret society of sorts. So it's like one of those things that,

1:09:58Richard Greaser you know, we probably won't talk about again publicly on here. But you'll know when you see them. You'll know that you're really you've really made it if you get to smoke one of these. Oh, yeah. Alright, guys. I'll talk to you next week. Alright. Thanks for jumping on, Rod. See you later. Alright. So heading to the fountain boost. Our first one of the day is from, our good friend, We All Eat for twenty one thousand and twenty one Sass who says,

1:10:27Richard Greaser you know, fuck Hailey. Y'all got some compliance cogs for warming her dick up Dick's mic. Warming for having her warm up Dick's mic. Sorry. Does she really

1:10:41Richard Greaser spit on that thing, Dick? Shadrach was deaf bumping some bugle tunes at Lake Satoshi. It warmed my heart. Yeah. So, you know, Kaylee and I, we we have a professional relationship. So her name's Kaylee and not Haley. And, you know, she finds it kind of offensive when, you,

1:11:00Richard Greaser confuse the two. So I encourage you to refer to her by her proper name in the future. But, yeah, I heard, I heard the bugle music was getting played all over Lake Satoshi, and that really warmed my heart and, got me excited. It's exciting to see, you know, people just, you know, embrace credentialed music in general, because we need that in a time like this. We need the credentialed musicians, producing music and and

1:11:30Richard Greaser yeah. It's great. But, yeah, thank you for the boost we all eat. I was very sad not to make it over to Lake Satoshi. Like, that seems like it's probably one of the best Bitcoin related events that happens globally ever, and it happens every year.

1:11:49Richard Greaser So I hope to make it there next year. Our next boost is from our good friend, q w, over at Plug Chain Radio for 10,000 sats, and and he boosted us twice, with slight deviations. Well, actually, it's the same comment, double boosted us. But KeyW says, just a subtle reminder that Footster is not priced in.

1:12:13Richard Greaser I agree. I mean, it's gonna be really exciting to see you know, these markets on on Oster develop the decentralized peer to peer, feet pick, market. You know, it's a huge, huge thing. And, you know, really like, there's there's all these, you know, ideas about, like, how to save The US economy, from, you know, this debt spiral that

1:12:36Richard Greaser these politicians have created by just being generally noncompliance, printing a lot of money. And I think, you know, instead of looking at ways to bail out the current businesses, which are essentially operating as zombie companies, we have to look at ways to generate new economic activity.

1:12:57Richard Greaser And one of the ways is this peer to peer market which is happening on Bitcoin or using Bitcoin, which is the value for value economy and VPIX are just an extension of that. I was very excited to see and I agree. Footster is definitely not priced in.

1:13:18Richard Greaser So thank you for your boost, q w. Our next one is from Stackatoshi for 10,000 sats who says, hope this helps you pay your taxes. How do how close do you think the US government is to implementing a value for value model? I'd boost the Pentagon if they put my name on a missile and live stream the strike. I don't think the US government is very close to a value for value model, you know, mostly because they're they're kind of foreign to the idea of providing any value.

1:13:49Richard Greaser They're more of like a destruction of value model, so they, like, you know, force you to give them money and then they just, like, throw it in the trash can. And I don't think they have any intention of changing that, policy anytime soon. But it would be interesting if you could essentially sponsor

1:14:12Richard Greaser missiles directly. And I think we could see that be kind of a big thing that grows in the Podconf ecosystem where you know, they essentially, you know, directly fund, you know, like,

1:14:27Richard Greaser these missiles in Israel or or Ukraine and stuff like that. It's a very interesting concept to explore, and I appreciate the boost, Akatoshi. The next one is from fundamentals for 10,000 sads. It's and he says, so many important stories and nobody else is even close to covering them.

1:14:49Richard Greaser You know, fundamentals has been dropping some alpha over on the Rock Paper Bitcoin podcast, and he actually inspired the, their I mean, business can their discussion over there inspired the intro song today. And so wanna definitely shout them out on that. But, yeah, we're we're here. We're the credentialed journalists. We do it the best in the space. And, nobody can even begin to compete with us. And we'll continue covering these stories when everybody else fails to, 100%.

1:15:24Richard Greaser Miss huddlknob four twenty boosted for 10,000 sats and said, we need more women smokers. Yeah. I agree. It's the one of the things that I think is kind of interesting is that there's not very many women vapers. It seems like it it's more binary. Either you're a smoker or you're not, and there's not like this middle ground of LARPs and pretenders, vaping. And I think, you know, the more people that smoke,

1:15:51Richard Greaser the better the world is. And the more women that that smoke, the better the world is. So I agree with that boost a 100%. And, yeah, I think the way that we get more women to smoke is we just convince their husbands to smoke. And, you know, first of all, we need, you know, men to be able to afford paying their taxes. We need we need them to, you know, earn an income and and save in Bitcoin

1:16:18Richard Greaser in a way where they can afford to pay taxes, and then they can afford to buy their wives more cigarettes. And that's the way that we get more women smokers. 5,000 stats from Orange Mart says it's like a glory hole for feet. And, they posted a clip, from the last episode, which I can't see on my typewriter, unfortunately. But, yeah,

1:16:44Richard Greaser Orange Mart clipped or this is something that you can do to help the show. Like, if you if you liked one of the stories that we talked about on it, if you clip it on Fountain and you post it, you know, all around over, you know, various platforms, whether it's Telegram or SimpleX or Signal or, you know, Twitter or, you know, Nostr, It definitely helps the show a lot, and we appreciate Orange Mart for consistently doing that for us. And, yeah, also thank you for the boost.

1:17:19Richard Greaser We got three boosts from Pies. Heard your boost. I think I was on the Ungovernable Misfits podcast and just wanna let you know Pies. Appreciate the support and feel for you right now with what you're dealing with. Pye says AI Max was fucking brilliant. Appreciate that. Yeah. AI Max is a pretty cool guy. He's pretty similar to regular Max, but he's just not like an actual person. He's just like an AI.

1:17:50Richard Greaser The next one said, love the fundamentals shout out to and the third one said, non KYC pro pre roll blunts, this is the way. I agree with all of those. Fundamentals, great guy. Really appreciate him, supporting the show and, non KYC pro blunt,

1:18:08Richard Greaser pre rolled blunt. Yeah. I mean, I I think the way to deal with it is to mix your marijuana with non KYC cigarette tobacco. So you have non KYC not Monera. Marijuana

1:18:25Richard Greaser and non KYC tobacco, and you roll it together. And you have a non KYC spliff, you know, in the form of one. And, I I don't know about the pre rolled side of it. Like, you know, you do you. But, anyways, I I support the sentiment. It's it's all about the, you know, peer to peer non client, marketplace and supporting that as much as possible.

1:18:50Richard Greaser And our last boost is from brother Abel for 750 sats who says, another great show, a commercial from Max in discussion of fundamental theories is peak value for value. Well, I agree. I mean, you know, this is what the the intellectual silk road looks like. You know, we're we're creating a network of, you know, all of these different podcasters and,

1:19:12Richard Greaser you know, different individuals. And, you know, you boosting the show and giving us feedback like that, you know, makes you kind of an integral part of the, the intellectual silk road. And, you know, one of the things that has been interesting to me is the more and more I listen to other content creators, in this ecosystem, you know, the more I see there's overlap not just between, you know, us creating the content, but also

1:19:39Richard Greaser our listeners who are boosting us. And so, you know, I see you brother Ebal. I see you Paez. See you guys, you know, supporting, one of the most important endeavors that is happening right now, which is, breaking the CIA's monopoly on memes.

1:19:59Richard Greaser Anyways, that kinda wraps it up for the show today. Wanna thank everybody tuning in. And as always, well, as of, you know, three weeks ago, 10% of the boost are going to the samurai defense fund. And so wanna thank you guys for, supporting, us, you know, as credentialed journalists and open source memeers. And I want to also thank you for supporting, the samurai guys. And, you know, also, please consider going over to p2prights.org

1:20:32Richard Greaser and giving those guys a donation directly. Yeah. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you next week.

1:20:40Kaylee Welch Thank you for listening to and boosting the Bugle weekly podcast. Your support of the show is helping to develop the intellectual Silk Road. Make sure to post this show on Noster, and you will be able to see your post in the fountain comments. We will see you on next week's episode. Thanks again for tuning in.

1:21:10Unknown What does it feel when bad guys always win? They have tanks, get their bombs, and their money. The game is rigged, so what do you do? A feeling of depression grows. It's not thoughtty. Here we go up Suicide Mountain,

1:21:27Unknown debating whether living is worth the fight. Knowing how the world works is quite the burden. Continuing forward is uncertain. When I was a child, I was taught I was free. Stuck in a classroom bending the

1:21:43Unknown knee. The teacher said comply and all will be good. A human soul crushed and misunderstood, but the human spirit can only take so much before you snap and decide to fight. On Suicide Mount, you weigh your options. Dark night of the soul causes a fire to ignite. Taking the red pill is easier said than done. Seeing the world as it is is not that fun, but there is a responsibility

1:22:14Unknown to do the right thing. Let go of the fantasies to which you cling. The CIA psy ops have power in deep, but you have power to reject their monopoly. Channel your anger and depression instead of giving it. Being ungovernable is how we win. The only way out is continuing forward. It is a overwhelming feeling corner, but it is a battle of perception, not flesh and blood. There are the forces at work besides the dark flood. When the night is darkest and snoops are closing in, a cypherpunk

1:22:50Unknown finds a way to win. When it seems like the whole world is communist and gay, the human spirit will endure to find a way. So people having self respect and convincing them to do what is correct. No politician can offer you relief while the people are embracing conditioned beliefs. Life is more than just struggling and enduring.

1:23:31Unknown Finding a sense of purpose is reassuring. Connecting with those who give a shit will force the bad guys to submit. Never underestimate those with the brain making decisions because they are safe. Defeat only comes when people give in. Fortify your mind and we will win.

1:23:54Unknown Yes, times are hard and will likely get darker, but this presents an opportunity to be stronger. We will create good times for future generations. Continuing to fight has serious implications, so come back down for Suicide Mountain and support the intellectual silk road on top. It will break hard cops, control of the narrative. This is the only path forward. It's an imperative.
