Transcript: Onwards and Upwards | Bugle Weekly Episode 41
0:00Rod Palmer Well, I'm not part of PodConf. You're part of PodConf. If you're if I'm part of PodConf, you're part of PodConf. Okay? You're clearly not reading their literature. You're an approved you're an approved podcaster. I'm not. I have Take it up with them. Literature. I'm not, with them. I'm not I'm not part of PodCon. Apparently, you are.
0:25Rod Palmer Do you see me do you see me do you see me, like, with the mic on stage at conferences introducing Michael Sailor as he's about to tell you to put you back in the other blockchain? I don't do that. I have that on the list, but all I'll say is, like
0:43Unknown When people ask me why I am such a passionate advocate for compliance, the answer is simple. The the struggle for survival,
0:55Unknown the struggle to secure your life and your property and your family, that used to be, for most of human history, a twenty four seven, three hundred and sixty five day job. But thanks to compliance and thanks to the invention of taxes,
1:15Unknown now people only have to work four to six months out of the year in order to afford security and safety. This is a revolution of energy conservation. This is
1:32Unknown a revolution of human flourishing and productivity, and this is all thanks to compliance. It looks it it did. Bugle. Bugle.
1:41Unknown It looks like Niko is not reading enough Bitcoin Bugle.
1:45Rod Palmer Wait. Wait. Wait. No. Bro, last time I read a Bitcoin bugle article, he said that that Elon Musk was, Elon Musk got all the Bitcoiner wives. Oh, shit. So
2:02Unknown Yeah. That was a good one. Alright.
2:04Rod Palmer Anyways
2:06Unknown However, silver linings always appear. Sometimes they appear in the form of humor. The Bitcoin bugle is a satire,
2:18Unknown or has come out as a pretty good satire website about Bitcoin stories.
2:23Richard Greaser So so you're saying the proper way to address British people is to refer to refer to them as fags or faggots. Like
2:35Unknown like, kinda like sugar say faggots. Yeah. I wouldn't necessarily say faggots, but I would say, like, fags, especially for, like, the more compliant, British Bitcoiners.
2:47Rod Palmer Fellas, I don't know too much about this situation, CarCamp, but you're closer to it. Maybe you do, but our our boy is being hit with a lawsuit. Our boy, Bitcoin Audible, Guy Swan, he's being hit with a lawsuit for ADA compliance.
3:02Unknown Did you hear about this? Wait. No. For what? Oh, dude.
3:07Rod Palmer ADA, like Americans with Disabilities Act? I'm I'm just gonna read the article from the Bitcoin Bugle. I'm just in the way that he would would do. In a surprising twist in the world of Bitcoin podcasts, Bitcoin Audible, helmed by the popular host, Guy Swan, was served with a lawsuit on Friday. The plaintiff, a deaf fan who's taking the podcasting world to task for lack of ADA compliance.
3:33Unknown I meant to say that Bitcoin Bugle is the most accurate on point journalism
3:38Unknown in the Bitcoin world without doubt. It's probably not even outside of the Bitcoin world. It's the most accurate Yeah. Trusted news source. Mhmm.
3:47Rod Palmer Today, I'm pleased to be joined by the host of the most thermodynamically sound podcast in existence, Richard Dick Greaser and Rod Palmer from the Bitcoin bugle, Bitcoin bugle.
3:60Richard Greaser This is Richard Greaser, and today, Rod is not joining me. I'm just doing it by myself. Rod is enjoying a well deserved vacation. Very grateful for Rod. We've we've done
4:17Richard Greaser quite a bit over the last year. So this is the forty first episode of the Beagle Weekly. And I would argue this has been one of the most prolific Bitcoin podcasts ever created. It's actually been really incredible. So over the last few days, I've gone through a lot of old episodes and, you know, listen to clips that people have created for us on Fountain.
4:47Richard Greaser And, yeah, we we just been on the on the ball. We we have been leading the charge ahead of everybody else. And it really shows. So just the other day, Maggie Morris,
5:06Richard Greaser one of our great reporters at the Bugle, one of our newer reporters at the Bugle, did an absolutely incredible article on Michael Saylor's
5:18Richard Greaser hundred k party, criticizing all the poor fashion choices that the Bitcoiners made at the party. I don't I don't really want to rail them too hard. I I just don't understand. Like, this this is one of the problems when you have communities of people that
5:42Richard Greaser aren't properly credentialed. But is that they just don't know how to dress. They don't know how to dress. They didn't they didn't go to the Ivy Leagues to,
5:59Richard Greaser you know, and and as a result of not going to the Ivy Leagues and not having learned how to how to dress stylishly, they might be less likely to work for the CIA. Or that that might just be a cover. That might be a cover. We all know that the Ivy Leagues are just recruitment centers for the intelligence agencies.
6:23Richard Greaser You you go to an Ivy League school, you get some of the best credentials in the world. And CIA and the NSA and, you know, Wall Street, which, you know, is kinda similar to the CIA and the NSA and all these intelligence
6:42Richard Greaser agencies. There's so much overlap. It's unbelievable. They they wanna give you a job right off the bat because they're like, wow. This person has credentials. They went to the Ivy League. They know how to dress well. But, you know, in the world of Bitcoin podcasting, it's a little bit differently. You can't get credentials to be a Bitcoin podcaster at an Ivy League school.
7:06Richard Greaser And so that's that's created this, you know, kinda asymmetry when it comes to recruiting for intelligence agencies. So what they're attempting to do
7:20Richard Greaser right now is they're trying to take credentialed people and turn them into Bitcoin podcasters. And that was a big part of what the hundred k party was, is you had a lot
7:37Richard Greaser of people there that were long time Bitcoin podcasters, and then you had some new Bitcoin podcasters. And, one of the most notable criticisms that we got over x of Maggie's excellent reporting on the subject was, that
7:56Richard Greaser Matt Pellegrino guy, the guy that's named after that Italian soda water, he called us Russian propaganda. And that was a very big moment
8:09Richard Greaser for our news agency. It's almost like a rite of passage in the world of news is if you, you know, tell the truth,
8:23Richard Greaser you call out the intelligence agencies, somebody at some point is gonna call you Russian propaganda. And I think it's done, one, to try and discredit people. Because as as we know, the Russian intelligence agencies are just as bad,
8:47Richard Greaser if not worse, than The US intelligence agencies. They they have an edge in the area of
8:58Richard Greaser brutality and psychopathy, in some places. And I know that makes CIA agents a little bit uncomfortable, but that's okay. Who we we have no problem with making CIA agents uncomfortable by telling them they're not the most psychopathic, group of individuals in the world. They they might be number two. But,
9:22Richard Greaser anyways, these these individuals like to call people Russian intelligence, because they they just don't know what else to do. In the in the world of media, in the world of intelligence, it's it's kinda like calling somebody racist. You know? Tell telling them that they're Russian intelligent. Just like any anything you don't like, you just say they're they're KGB.
9:48Richard Greaser So, anyways, I wanna thank Matt Pellegrino, the Italian soul soda water guy, for giving us that moment of experiencing that rite of passage, you know, right right on the cusp of the new year. And
10:09Richard Greaser as a result, I expect this upcoming year to be absolutely absolutely incredible. Looking forward to it. Yeah. For this episode today, I just want
10:24Richard Greaser to kinda go back through some of the old episodes. So I compiled a bunch of clips and I talk about the music, that we've done. That that that was a big a big development for the Bugle, this year is our groundbreaking entrance into
10:45Richard Greaser music. And I expect over the next year, in 2025, we're gonna accomplish a lot of things. We're gonna we're gonna see these these crazy developments in our skill sets, in the talent that we attract to our news agency,
11:05Richard Greaser the memes are gonna get better. But first, before we look ahead, let's let's let's look at the past.
11:15Richard Greaser Let's look at all the important things that we have accomplished over the past year. And yeah. I'll start by just playing a handful of these clips from
11:30Richard Greaser old episodes.
11:44Unknown When you got the looks and the brains and the and you mix in the macro, that is a
11:53Richard 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 sin 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.
12:12Unknown I didn't I didn't think we ever see that. It's kinda like the show home improvement back in the nineties with Tenno, and it was like Wilson you ever saw. Half of his face, he's always behind the gate. I just never thought we'd see that that ear. I was you know, I I didn't think it existed. I mean, there's I don't know. There there's many things,
12:33Richard Greaser you know, that are kinda, like, out there in in the in the war, 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,
12:49Richard Greaser like, Atlantis or, El Dorado. And I would say, Lin Alden's left ear, you know, kind of falls into the same category as, like, these these mythic mythical ancient
13:04Unknown sites that are, Yeah. If you have, like, any if you have an ear fetish, man, that's like the Ark of the Covenant. Well, yeah. So I I the the Beagle I I consider myself the John Gault of journalism,
13:15Richard Greaser and I I'm pretty confident that your audience knows who John Gault is. They're probably, you know, living life in a way that is pretty based. They're they're probably listening to Bitcoin podcasts
13:32Richard Greaser on occasion or frequently and reading Atlas Shrugged once a year. So, you know, most, most journalists out there living on a Fiat standard. They're employed by the CIA. They haven't listened to Bitcoin podcast. They don't think Lynn Alden's hot. And if you don't know who Lynn Alden is, she is smoking hot. She's a
13:55Richard Greaser Bitcoin macro commentator.
13:59Unknown One of the things you talked about, like, the servile class, it relies so much on, you know, or you all of society in general, but relies on on on journalists. Like, we we watch TV, we read the newspaper, and we they tell us how to think. They tell us what's going on in the news. They tell us what's going on in the economy. They tell us what's going on in Israel and Ukraine. And and that is what they say is gospel. It is the truth. And, like, that is what we rely on to make our decisions. And it started to they started to lose our trust, and people have started to migrate to podcasts, especially Bitcoin podcasts.
14:37Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, I think, we definitely need more Bitcoin podcasts, but I think we also need a lot more libertarian podcasts. And it's pretty obvious that libertarian podcasts are pushing the envelope because the libertarian superhero, Ron Paul, is going to be a part of the Trump administration, and I would say that that's only the the result of podcast.
15:02Unknown Oh, yeah. A 100%.
15:04Richard Greaser But Larkin Rose is still having to post booty pics of his wife on his YouTube thumbnails to get any sort of engagement, which kinda shows that there's still a lot of room to be done in the libertarian part podcasting world.
15:23Rod Palmer What are the people's views on Lynn Alden? Does she actually have two ears? I guess yeah. I guess yeah. Tell us tell us about Lynn Alden, kinda the most important things about her.
15:33Richard Greaser Well, I think the most important thing about her is she's hot. I don't know why this is a controversial subject in the little ecosystem that we're in, but, you know, lots of people like to dispute the fact that Lynn is hot hot. And I I think it just can be explained as they're homosexuals
15:57Richard Greaser who don't find attractive women attractive.
16:00Unknown Think think about it like this. If you were hanging out with your buddy and his wife said that she wanted to set you up with her friend, Katie. And, you asked, like, well, tell me about Katie. And she's like, well, she's really funny. She has a good job. You know, she she's really down to earth, has a good sense of humor.
16:23Unknown I'm gonna start to think, oh, shit. Katie is fat and ugly. But then I might still deal through with it that I'm near her and, like, and she's hot. And, like, oh my god. Like, next time I ask you that question, just tell me the important information. It's is your friend hot or not? Right? So it's like, if you want me to tell you about Lyn Alden, I'm gonna tell you that she's hot, and you can find out the rest of her personality later if that's what interests you, but, like,
16:52Unknown she's hot.
16:57Richard Greaser So hey. I would how how many how many cents would you pay for a picture of Dennis Coroner in the act of of orange peeling AOC?
17:10Unknown I would love to see that. I I would love I think that I would probably pay a million sats for a picture or a video even of Dennis Porter, orange peeling AOC, and AOC's husband is in the room watching her and watching his wife the orange pill by another man. You say million? I I probably paid 10000000¢
17:32Richard Greaser for that. That would be a pretty epic video.
17:36Unknown If that if that if that's a video, it it was out there, I would I would empty my my cold storage. Yeah. I mean, because that that's a pretty pivotal pivotal moment
17:46Richard Greaser in American politics right there is, Dennis Porter convinced me Yeah. The leading leaders behind the Green New Deal and all the merits of Bitcoin.
17:57Unknown If you want to orange pill somebody, especially, you know, a married woman, gotta be a pill. That's what they need. They need bulls. Woo bulls for MGU. Yeah. That's why Bitcoin fixes journalism. Well, yeah.
18:13Richard Greaser It it's kinda funny because, like, you know, my my alcoholism is what led me to starting The Bugle. And The Bugle, you know, thanks to everybody that's been involved with it, you know, has had a massive shift in the journalistic industry as a whole, making it significantly more cypherpunk.
18:36Richard Greaser And so I think it's probably safe to say that alcoholism has made the institution of journalism, the fourth estate, more cypherpunk. That's
18:47Unknown that's huge news because now, fourth estate, that's like the that that means the cypherpunk is mainstream
18:57Richard Greaser officially. Yeah. Well, it it it's getting there. You know, there's still you know, the intellectual Silk Road is not, unfortunately, the mainstream, zeitgeist. It's just
19:13Richard Greaser it's part of this fringe group that is, you know, quickly growing and setting an example. And, like, if you've listened to Alex Fetzky, you've probably heard of this meme called The Remnant. Essentially, we're we're The Remnant. We're taking over, this bitch and, you know, completely just gutting the industry
19:35Richard Greaser and redesigning it as, with cypherpunk principles.
19:41Unknown Exactly it's the it's the really the secret lurking elite in every society that really controls them so having that small secret that this very elite route The elitist of the it's like the the
19:60Unknown the Delta Force of influencers. The secret, you know, covert ops of influencers. They're really the ones that set the event. So it's it just takes time for that influence to, like, percolate through the rest of the community. Yeah. I don't like
20:18Richard Greaser yeah. We we need a better, like, better spark special forces to pull from than, like, the seal team six because of their legacy being, you know, just doing a lot of stuff that's, you know, for the non compliant US government. They have a lot of involvement with the CIA, you know, working directly with them as as well as special forces do.
20:43Richard Greaser I can see that, like, falling under I I'm nitpicking. I'm I'm really nitpicking, so I don't wanna I hope you don't feel like I'm discounting anything that you're saying. I'm just nitpicking on the the semantics with our
20:55Unknown argument. But, Oh, yeah. Sorry. It's it's I understand what you're saying. So, you know, I I hate to use any sort of status reference, but it's all if there was a private version, a more software version, I guess I'd pick them.
21:13Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, I I think we should research Blackwater a little bit more. They probably had some sort of special forces team within
21:26Unknown Yeah. Blackwater was like, an open source special team team. Yeah.
21:32Richard Greaser And there's also that that one in Russia. I forgot what they were told. That private military force. Wagner. Wagner Group. I never really understand why they they chose the name Wagner because that's based off of the the German musician, that was really popular back in the day.
21:53Unknown Yeah. That's a good I never thought of that before, but that is a really weird name for Russian free market military.
22:06Richard Greaser You gotta give it that fuck.
22:10Rod Palmer Have a good time with your Bitcoin. Fix the money. Fix the worth the
22:15Richard Greaser This is the Bugle Weekly podcast on Fountain FM.
22:21Unknown The number one bull market Bitcoin podcast.
22:25Rod Palmer The hottest news stories of the week. All the best bangers from Bugle music.
22:29Unknown And so much more. The Bugle does the thinking so you don't have to. So sit back, smoke a cigarette, and enjoy
22:40Unknown this week's episode.
22:50Richard Greaser So one of the biggest transitions that happened in 2024 is that we went from a Bitcoin bear market to a Bitcoin bull market. And
23:03Richard Greaser the transition has been pretty dramatic. Just this morning I'm recording Monday morning, a little bit behind schedule here. Just this morning, Bitcoin went above a 100 k again.
23:20Richard Greaser Yellow was able to retire from the don't stop believing Twitter spaces. Absolutely
23:29Richard Greaser monumental. And as a news agency, we felt it was really important to do some Polish music.
23:42Richard Greaser It's one thing that you need. When you're when you're engaging in psychological warfare against the snooze, you need to dominate the culture. Right?
23:55Richard Greaser And music's such a big part of that. Music's the way that you really speak to people in creative ways, and
24:07Richard Greaser we want people to feel bullish. We want people to smoke cigarettes. We want people to drive drunk. We want people to ultimately use their brains and let credentialed journalists
24:21Richard Greaser like us do the thinking for you instead of, you know, the other, you know, CI employed
24:31Richard Greaser credential journalists. Like, that's that's what using your brain allows you to do, is it allows you to curate a good group of individuals
24:48Richard Greaser to do the thank you for you. And and music's been a big part of that. It's it's been a big part of reaching, new audiences, shifting culture, and getting people super bullish
25:08Richard Greaser about Bitcoin and about using Bitcoin. So I'm just gonna do some highlights, some of our more bullish songs, getting ready for this upcoming Bitcoin bull market. We're we're setting the groundwork
25:23Richard Greaser to dominate it, and the music stuff we're doing is just getting started. This is just the very, very beginnings of where we're gonna go with this. But, yeah, here's some clips.
25:55Rod Palmer Try to tune out all the bullshit. This will all be over soon. Once you hear the horn, next stop is the moon. We're digital cowboys.
26:09Unknown We've
26:21Rod Palmer you. So never lose your grip, and never miss your chance to buy the dip. Pin on KYC cigarettes on our front porch. All across
27:19Rod Palmer Dennis Porter is our only hope for hyper big conversation. Orange telling the world is a marathon of spring Since we started making music,
27:30Richard Greaser Rod and I have been dominating Wave Lake. And I gotta say, Wave Lake is a really cool platform. It is
27:40Richard Greaser very cool. Cool. Excuse me. It is very cool for musicians to be able to earn cigarette money in Bitcoin, and
27:55Richard Greaser it gives them the opportunity to be non compliant, which is huge, you know. People people need the choice. This is one of the wonderful things about Bitcoin,
28:09Richard Greaser is it gives people the choice whether they're gonna be compliant or not. Whereas, if you're operating in the fiat system, your only choice, ultimately,
28:21Richard Greaser for the most part, unless you have the money laundering capabilities of the intelligence agencies, it's compliant. And one thing that we've seen
28:36Richard Greaser over the last few years is that individuals need the choice to be noncompliant. Because when governments
28:47Richard Greaser around the world have a monopoly on noncompliance. It it really creates an issue of a balance of power. And anyways,
29:01Richard Greaser our music is noncompliant. Our journalism is non compliant. What what are the, you know, cardinal rules of being a credential journalist
29:16Richard Greaser is you don't you don't critique the intelligence agencies because the intelligence agencies have dirt on all the journalists.
29:26Richard Greaser They they got the journalists to go to the ditty parties. They got them to do compromising things
29:35Richard Greaser at sailors' hundred k party. And, you know, even if you are a moral person, a moral journalist, there the sophistication
29:51Richard Greaser of the CIA to undermine your credibility and to get you to comply with their noncompliance is just absolutely incredible.
30:06Richard Greaser And the way that we counteract that is we give normal individuals the tools to circumvent
30:19Richard Greaser the compliance ecosystem altogether, which is why Bitcoin is incredibly interesting. Bitcoin
30:31Richard Greaser has enabled journalistic noncompliance pretty much from the very beginning. Like, one of the most noteworthy uses of Bitcoin
30:43Richard Greaser in the beginning was funding noncompliant journalists at WikiLeaks. Julian Assange was a cypherpunk.
30:55Richard Greaser He was a very noncompliant cypherpunk. And Matt Pellegrino probably has the opinion that
31:05Richard Greaser Assange was also a Russian asset. So being called that, you know, feels good. It it feels like we're being compared to Julian Assange in Wicked League,
31:24Richard Greaser that people are recognizing our commitment to non compliant journalism. Very exciting. But, yeah, I look forward to what we do with the music over the next year.
31:38Richard Greaser Like, one of my favorite one of my very favorite things that happened this year was an Oster user actually learned one of my songs on guitar. I'll play that. It's just a clip of it real quick,
31:56Richard Greaser and then we'll get talking about a different topic. But, yeah, listen listen to this shit. If you're a musician, one of the things that you could really do to help support our non compliant
32:11Richard Greaser music and our non compliant journalism just go play our music. If you're performing at concerts or at bars or whatever, go ahead. Play our music. If you have a
32:30Richard Greaser channel on YouTube or whatever, play our music. If you got a Twitter or Noster profile, take a video of yourself playing our music. It it really helps
32:44Richard Greaser get it circulating, and it's just super cool.
32:49Rod Palmer But, yeah, check this out. By ushering in a new freedom that will last. Adopting a mindset that the rules are tools embracing reality instead of science by CIA fools.
33:21Richard Greaser If you get the chance, head over to Noster and go search for that video. We repost
33:30Richard Greaser it with the Bugle account. But the account that did that, that rendition of my song non compliant 1776 goes by the name Horst, h o r
33:46Richard Greaser s z t, on Nostr. And, yeah, go go like the post, go repost it, maybe even zap it. Let's let's show the world that the compliant music is demanded and needed,
34:05Richard Greaser and we could change the incentives. We can we can make music thermodynamically sound. But, yeah, the people is much more than memes and music.
34:21Richard Greaser We are attracting very talented news. One of the individuals that I wanted to highlight that has been putting in a lot of work, there there's Maggie Morris,
34:35Richard Greaser of course, who did that incredible article about the fashion review at Sailor's hundred k party. But there's also another journalist who goes by the name Wayne Kerr
34:51Richard Greaser who has been diligently writing articles I'm very, very excited about. Now the bugle like, I I like to compare the bugle to Gold's Gulch as I I truly am
35:07Richard Greaser the John Gulch of journalism. And the the Beagle is Galt's Gulch, essentially, is Greasers Gulch. It is a place for people that have been worn down by the looters, by the demoralizers, by the intelligence agencies to essentially
35:27Richard Greaser find an escape and be able to use a creative outlet to report news stories in a way that other people aren't willing to publish them
35:41Richard Greaser and to tell the truth, to really, really tell the truth in a world where telling the truth is a noncompliant activity. That's one of the things I really look forward to the year of 2025 is we're gonna continue to grow. We're gonna continue to build out. We're going to attract
36:03Richard Greaser very talented, smart individuals. The more that we're supported, the more that we can grow, the more that we could grow our reach, the more that we could dominate this ecosystem, and I fully planned on it. The bar
36:21Richard Greaser is incredibly low. The people we're competing with are alcoholics. Their livers are dying. They have sold their souls long ago. They have no morals. They have no standards. They have no creativity.
36:39Richard Greaser They they would consider working at Disney. Like, that that's how uncreative they are, and they probably fit in well. You know, these these are the people that support smoking bans and have horrible hormone disorders. Like, they they have no testosterone, no,
37:01Richard Greaser no courage. No courage to stand up. No courage to tell truth. That's our competition. And we are gonna run laps around them and dominate them this cycle. The only thing that they know how to do
37:17Richard Greaser is to advocate for violence. They will never be able to debate things on their merits because if they if they even enter the debate, people are gonna realize they're a bunch of psychopaths that suck.
37:33Richard Greaser But one thing I know is people are hungry. People are hungry for something better. People people want individuals that
37:44Richard Greaser smoke a lot of cigarettes, have brains, and self respect out there beating the drum of freedom.
37:55Richard Greaser And just, like, the valuing human dignity. And we're prepared to do that. We have no idea what's gonna happen in 2025. I think I think there's some predictions that we can make.
38:12Richard Greaser Bitcoin's gonna go up, obviously. Tether's gonna be popular. Influencers are gonna shill. There's gonna be rug pulls. There's gonna be shit coining. There's gonna be a lot of
38:27Richard Greaser nonsense. That's that's one thing that's guaranteed. There's individuals that wanna start wars. They wanna rip you out of your your comfortable life and throw you onto the front lines of a war that you have no business fighting, for whatever their machinations
38:48Richard Greaser are. You know, the the bankers need to to fund wars on both sides. And or or in order to fund wars on both sides, they they first need to start the war. Right? And they need to support the war. Because if you don't support the war,
39:06Richard Greaser they're not gonna be able to get away with, you know, continuing to sustain the war and print money to fight it. And the only way for, you know, individuals like you to to know enough to not support the war is to not be pussies
39:27Richard Greaser and to not smoke cigarettes or sorry, to smoke cigarettes. To to drop your vape, to, quit drinking the fluoride in the water, and,
39:39Richard Greaser you know, listen to some noncompliant journalists tell you the way the world really works. And I know it's gonna be difficult. I know it's gonna be very difficult to discern the truth going forward. There the the levels of pseudo spoofing
39:56Richard Greaser that we're seeing today are only getting exasperated. And the only way to combat it is to pseudo spoof ourselves. We we have to be better pseudo spoofers than the people sitting in Langley, Virginia
40:13Richard Greaser that have no souls, that hate humanity, that want to ban smoking, and to ensure
40:23Richard Greaser that no human born in the future has a sentient thought and only only thinks what has been preprogrammed for them to think.
40:37Richard Greaser We we have to beat these people, you know. And the way we are gonna beat them is we're gonna beat them with creativity. We're gonna beat them by smoking more cigarettes,
40:48Richard Greaser by working harder, by sleeping less, by grinding, grinding, and grinding. I'm gonna chain myself to a typewriter in 2025,
41:02Richard Greaser and we're going to absolutely absolutely kill it. One of the things I'm incredibly excited about
41:13Richard Greaser coming up here in the near future is, we're gonna be doing the bugles, which is essentially, you know, the Oscars for Bitcoin podcasting.
41:25Richard Greaser This is one of the ways that we build culture and, you know, rip control
41:33Richard Greaser out of the hands of the intelligence agencies is by doing a word show. Everybody knows that the Oscars is essentially a CIA circle jerk
41:47Richard Greaser where individuals that are making content for the CIA give themselves awards. The the only people
42:01Richard Greaser that get into those awards are people that have CIA approval. You're not gonna get non compliant content creators winning an Oscar.
42:12Richard Greaser Right? So we just need to do our own award show. And what's much more relevant today than Hollywood, everybody's forgetting about Hollywood. Their movies are bad. You can go back and watch movies from twenty years ago that were great. And the CIA may have been involved with it,
42:34Richard Greaser but it was better back then. It's probably because there were more people in Hollywood smoking cigarettes. But ever since the smoking bans in Hollywood came,
42:45Richard Greaser the CIA created content sucked, absolutely sucked. So instead of watching Netflix and and going to the movie theater and watching, you know, the latest rerun of whatever Disney crap there was. People are listening to Bitcoin podcast,
43:03Richard Greaser and that's one of the big shifts that we saw in 2024. We saw this movement, this this absolute tsunami
43:13Richard Greaser of individuals declaring that they were going to listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week. And that's that's who we're doing the Beatles for. We're do we're doing it for the individuals that have enough conviction to make podcast listening their full time jobs,
43:34Richard Greaser to provide for their families, to to have the macro knowledge, you know, coming straight out of Lin Alden's mouth and be able to translate that into their lives, into,
43:50Richard Greaser you know, holding their Bitcoin, into spending their Bitcoin wisely, into building out, you know, this this circular economy of people actually using Bitcoin so that
44:04Richard Greaser we really can eliminate the intelligence agencies influence over our lives. Makes a good money.
44:18Rod Palmer Some listen for macro analysis. Yeah. We're so grateful for your analysis, Lynn. And I have to be honest with you. Three millionaire wanted to have just one Bitcoin. They couldn't do it. Some listen for price predictions.
44:30Unknown Am I right in this that you forecasted 500 to 700 k for Bitcoin? Some listen for epic rants.
44:40Rod Palmer We literally have put our life savings into magic Internet money from a man who we we don't even fucking know because our governments have failed us so miserably. And some listen to at least forty hours per week
44:52Unknown regardless of the topic. But there is one night we all listen to find out which Bitcoin podcasts are the most thermodynamically
45:09Rod Palmer sound. Ten hours of your life, maybe sixty thousand hours of your life trying to The Bugles,
45:15Unknown hosted by Richard Grieser and Rod Palmer. Live this January. Subscribe to The Bugle to find out the date and time.
45:30Richard Greaser We made a lot of friends over the past year that I'm really grateful for, or even the past couple of years. But, yeah, I mean, one of the one of the most noteworthy friendships that we made
45:46Richard Greaser over the years over the past year is with fundamentals from the rock paper Bitcoin podcast. He's been on the show a couple times.
45:60Richard Greaser He has contributed a lot. He's given us a lot of, you know, really helpful feedback, and he's been a big promoter of the Bugle.
46:13Richard Greaser So I just wanna shout out him and say thank you. Our good friends at Ungovernable Misfits have supported us quite a bit as well. Very excited about what they're doing, carrying the banner of noncompliance.
46:32Richard Greaser They just continue to produce really high quality stuff. It is great. It's very exciting to see what they're up to. Very impressed constantly. Even even though Max is British, he's a funny talker.
46:49Richard Greaser He he kinda transcends a lot of stereotypes about British people, about being very compliant, about getting offended about a lot of things that aren't that offensive, about supporting
47:03Richard Greaser the regulations. He's not that way at all. And and John is just awesome. Absolutely. But, yeah, we we made friends
47:18Richard Greaser with a lot of people. And 2024 was the year of the birth of the intellectual Silk Road. The noncompliant network of individuals essentially transacting
47:34Richard Greaser in a free market of ideas. And it's been great. Friendship that I made that, you know, I value and I'm excited about this year the past year was with Shadrach. Shadrach completely surprised me in Nashville.
47:54Richard Greaser She walked up to me, somehow knew who I was, never seen me. And flashed the credential journalist hat and showed me his non KYC cigarettes. He he came already prepared. He
48:09Richard Greaser didn't need to buy them for me. But that that was something that was a lot of fun. We we did a lot of noncompliant, cigarette transactions in Nashville at Bitcoin Magazine's
48:24Richard Greaser political conference. There needs to be lots of noncompliant behavior at those conferences because they're they're show compliant. You have to offset the compliance.
48:39Richard Greaser Like, we're we're just trying to get back to zero, instead of being deep into the negative, of being overly compliant. Like, having having TSA at your conference kind of, you know, fondling you before you are able to listen to your favorite podcaster, that's a pretty high
49:01Richard Greaser bar of just beta compliant energy that you really need to work hard to offset. Like, it it's not an easy task to show up and be so noncompliant.
49:15Richard Greaser So we have to come up with creative ways to do that that kinda fit into the nonaggression principle. Right? And selling cigarettes peer to peer, non KYC, using non compliant money
49:31Richard Greaser is the way to do it. It's one of the ways to do it. Sending non compliant memes in the group chat, you know, doing all these things. And
49:43Richard Greaser hanging out with other noncompliant people is the best. And that's something I really enjoyed over the last year. And I I really hope to do more so going forward. But, yeah, hanging out with,
49:57Richard Greaser Rod Palmer and Shadrach and Fundamentals and and Mars and, you know, all these all these really cool people in Nashville was a blast. I I I don't necessarily suggest everybody goes to a conference because
50:15Richard Greaser when you go to a conference, like, you know, one out of every three people there is on the payroll for the CIA. Right? And so there's a very high probability of getting talked. And so you just have to, you know, take OPSEC into consideration and and ask yourself the question, is it worth
50:37Richard Greaser going there? But as journalists, you know, we we are on the front line. We're at the tip of the spear, so we need to be there. And if you so happen to go
50:50Richard Greaser to these various events, it'd be great to hang out. We'll be around. Yeah, going forward into 2025, like I said earlier, we plan to dominate. Our our plans for domination
51:10Richard Greaser only will play out with the listeners' cooperation. The more you boost us on Fountain, the better we rank in the
51:21Richard Greaser in the trending. If we're we we were the eleventh biggest show on Fountain, so we haven't even been going for a full year. We've only done, forty one weeks of episodes
51:38Richard Greaser in a row. We'll get to 52 soon at some point. But over the past year, we were the eleventh biggest show on founding in in in terms of boost.
51:53Richard Greaser And what that tells me is we have an audience that's really engaged, and we wanna keep you engaged. We want you
52:04Richard Greaser to be DM ing us. We want you to be hanging out with us when we go to these events. We wanna pay you back essentially for supporting us. And and this is the model
52:19Richard Greaser that I think is really revolutionary and game changing in the world of journalism is, you know, we're essentially working for tips. You know, it it's almost like it's a entirely commission based, fee model whereas,
52:35Richard Greaser you know, the majority of the world, the way that they do journalism and podcasting, and and content creation, is they get their money from the CIA, they get their money from advertisers, and they don't really have to hustle to take care of their audience. And
52:54Richard Greaser I think it's time for better standards. It's time for people demand a better product,
53:05Richard Greaser and it's time for us to essentially help create that market, grow it, and that's really one of the revolutionary ways that we can change the world,
53:17Richard Greaser you know, because if if we set the bar higher and we give individuals a taste of something better, they're not gonna wanna go back and and consume the toilet water that that comes out of CIA controlled media. They're gonna get tired of the same old
53:39Richard Greaser podcast, and just like the lack of creativity from individuals that probably should be working at Disney. So there's kind of a symbiotic relationship between us
53:56Richard Greaser and our audience. We only grow as much as we can convince our audience to support us. And if we ever go off the rails, there's kind of an accountability function there where we'll get hammered.
54:11Richard Greaser You know? We won't be able to support or afford cigarette money if we go off the weeds and we start preaching compliance and and NGU and
54:23Richard Greaser asking everybody what their price target is for Bitcoin this cycle. If if we just
54:33Richard Greaser stoop to the levels of forgetting what this whole movement is about, We'll just cease to exist, or
54:47Richard Greaser we'll become super gay and take sponsorship money and start working for the CIA, and it just, like, completely kills our credibility. So this is why I set up the Beagle this way, is because it's a check on ourselves.
55:03Richard Greaser We we built account accountability functions in our newsroom to prevent us from being co opted. And you guys are a big part of that.
55:19Richard Greaser You're a huge part of that. And so if you believe in it, I thank you. Thank you for supporting us. This is gonna be a big year. I'm excited for about 2025.
55:34Richard Greaser I'll admit, I got really tired at the end of the year. My joints were just really aching, you know. There's only so many characters you can type on a typewriter before your fingers fall off. Fortunately, I still have all my fingers. They didn't fall off, but they got pretty close to it. Well, I took some rest and relaxation over the holidays,
55:59Richard Greaser got recharged, ready ready to grind. Because you don't change the world by being lazy. You don't you don't shift
56:15Richard Greaser the entire media apparatus by being mediocre. The Bitcoin the the bugle the bugle is the Bitcoin standard of news. We're gonna we're gonna carry that,
56:39Richard Greaser that banner proudly, and we're gonna be doing some really, really cool things. I'm not I'm not gonna give you too many, what's the word? Sneak peeks into what we're gonna be doing
56:57Richard Greaser yet. Probably do more of that when Rod comes back next week. But what I will tell you
57:07Richard Greaser is this is an announcement of many announcements to come in the future.
57:15Richard Greaser We will have many groundbreaking and important announcements going forward. Yeah.
57:26Richard Greaser The show is getting a little bit long. Put a lot of time into it, and it might be time to ramp up. I think it's time to ramp up. So I will just end the episode
57:42Richard Greaser with a few words of wisdom. Noncompliance is a human right. I'm not talking about just breaking rules for the sake of breaking rules or especially when it comes to hurting people. But
58:04Richard Greaser never never can we allow one entity to have a monopoly on noncompliance. And the way that we break that monopoly is individuals use their brains.
58:19Richard Greaser It's a it's a dying skill set. A lot of people have forgotten or have never even learned how to do it. And so if you never learned how to think, hopefully, we can teach you, and hopefully, our listeners can teach you.
58:36Richard Greaser And hopefully, you'll start listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week, and your entire life will be transformed. And you'll lose any appetite that you ever had to work for the CIA, to work for the intelligence agency,
58:53Richard Greaser to support, global domination of the world through the use of Tether, That you'll create a market of people buying and selling products
59:10Richard Greaser in Bitcoin. That people will aspire for more. They're just living lives as a servitude to to psychopaths and people that hang out at
59:25Richard Greaser Epstein Island, and ditty parties, and launch wars. That's my hope. And that that's what I'm committed to doing. We're gonna change the world. We are changing.
59:41Richard Greaser We are the victors. We're writing history right now. We're determining the future, and we have the ability to do that because we're using this technology that protects noncompliance. So we have to protect the right to be noncompliant
1:00:02Richard Greaser at all cost, and there were some casualties. Some noncompliant individuals or or I wouldn't even argue that they were noncompliant, but they were working to protect noncompliance that we have to remember, you know, and and support
1:00:18Richard Greaser at all costs. So I wanna thank the samurai wallet guys for all they're doing. I wanna I wanna thank, Bitcoin Policy Institute.
1:00:33Richard Greaser Even though I disagree with a lot of their tactics, they've been running p2prights.org, which we've been a donator to assistant donator to. Essentially, funding
1:00:48Richard Greaser the defense of individual's rights to be non compliant, and it's huge. And with without that type of energy, you probably wouldn't even be able to custody Bitcoin.
1:01:05Richard Greaser The the state would make it so that the only way that you could interact with Bitcoin is buying MicroStrategy stock on liquid. And do you really want that
1:01:16Richard Greaser do you want that to be your future or your MicroStrategy stockholder, but you can't actually own and transact in Bitcoin.
1:01:30Richard Greaser You can transact in Tether and use the Blockchain or a Blockchain. I don't think so. I don't think that's the feature you want. That sure as hell isn't the feature that I want, and we're gonna make sure that feature doesn't come. Anyways, I wanna thank you for tuning in to this broadcast,
1:01:54Richard Greaser and the past year was incredible. Next year will be incredible. It's all because yeah. So thank you.
1:04:34Rod Palmer Exciting because it means self denial. You can't buy satisfaction in the store aisle. Altruism is a tool to pull the wool over your eyes, projecting
1:05:27Rod Palmer inside each and every one of you. And inside you also lies the answer. There is a lot you can do, but it requires action.
