Transcript: Opsec In Spookville | Bugle Weekly Episode 17
0:05Richard Greaser When everything you read in the news is a lie, on whose narrative can you lean on and rely? What is real? What is true? What can you do? Voting is a sacred ritual for those without a clue. Did the CIA shoot Trump like they shot Kennedy? How do you cure this cancer, is there a remedy? A society who believes that elections are real, paying the taxes to a system that steals. If you are a sane person who wants the wars to end, who in the government can you call a friend? Fingers foam at the mouth, they're out for blood. Propaganda covering the world like a flood. Democracy, the system
1:04Richard Greaser If you are sane and believing morals, now is not the time to rest on laurels. You must subvert the system with all you got. A compliance strike is happening. A war must be fought. Now is not the time to be weak and docile. The state will respond by being hostile, but self respect demands being grave. The situation we find ourselves in is getting grave. If you are a safe person who wants the wars to end, who in the government can you call a friend? State is home at the mouth, they're out for blood. Propaganda
1:37Richard Greaser cover in the world like a flood. Democracy is a system for those without a clue. Just because you are scared doesn't change what is true. If you have a brain, you know what to do. Defiance is the choice. No one is coming to save you. Take back your dignity and fill your hearts with hope. Freedom is a state of mind, not a permission joke. The future could be blight, but that's in your hands. Quit drinking fluoride, intoxifying your glass. Only when good men do nothing, get evil prevail. Fortify your mind, don't be frail. It is a time for hope, not for giving up. Get back and smoke a cigarette. Put some whiskey in your cup.
2:54Unknown Now that's what I call defiance.
2:59Richard Greaser Democracy is dead when the
3:09Unknown Now That's What I Call Defiance is the premier collection of non compliant music you won't find anywhere else. The best music. The best bands. Together on one explosive album. Available on Fountain FM,
3:34Unknown Wave Lake, and anywhere else music is streamed outside the reach of the CIA.
3:41Richard Greaser The revolution is happening. The answer to nineteen eighty four is becoming on the
3:48Unknown Now that's what I call defiance. Have to explain to me thermodynamics
3:53Unknown and whisper the It is a very dark time in our nation's history. People are shooting at political candidates, and the media is lying about it. Everywhere you turn, there are complicated psychological operations being waged to confuse the American people on what is going on. Here at the Bugle Weekly, you get your news raw without influence from the CIA, and that is why our listeners are the best informed in the industry. We do this by exclusively getting our funding from you, the listeners, who we are exclusively accountable to.
4:24Unknown This podcast is not funded by corporations with questionable venture capitalist funding. It is funded by you. Sit back and listen as you are about to experience unadulterated signal coming from two journalists who smoke more Marlboro Reds than all of their competitors combined.
4:43Kailey Welch You are listening to the Bugle Weekly, the most thermodynamically sound podcast in the game. Here are your hosts, Rod Palmer and Dick Greaser.
4:58Richard Greaser Alright. We are recording on this, lovely Sunday afternoon. How are you doing today, Rod?
5:07Rod Palmer It's been a it's been a whirlwind of the last twenty four hours. Tensions are high, emotions are high, the timeline is buzzing, but,
5:16Richard Greaser good to be here with Be Back On Another Could could you imagine what the world would look like right now if the Disney writers, could write a script as a as entertaining as the one we're following in this, political cycle
5:32Rod Palmer so far? I think it's no. No coincidence that, Netflix stock, Disney stock, all the, storytelling stock is down compared to reality. It's hard to compete with reality TV, which you don't even need a TV for anymore. You don't even need a network station. You could just get it on social media. And,
5:52Rod Palmer I think the writers strike last year was, was a huge misstep by Hollywood because we didn't have anything to, you know, to watch. They didn't create any new shows or at least any of the top shows. So we just made, we made our own content. The world started making its own content online
6:12Rod Palmer using AI.
6:13Richard Greaser Do do you think they ever actually brought the writers back or do they just let them go and just replace them all with AI? They kinda pigeonholed it. I don't I don't even know how that was allegedly resolved. I think it's all just AI replaced people. Or maybe maybe what the writers did is their, like, form a strike because they they came to some sort of resolution. They're like, we're never we're never gonna be happy with this arrangement. So instead of dedicating, like, our our thinking abilities to, you know, these corporations like Disney, we're just gonna use ChatGPT and, like, hog all of the good ideas ourselves.
6:49Rod Palmer I think maybe. I think that's part of it. I think I think there's also, a problem with, I think they're just stealing ideas from podcasters. They're stealing podcasters' content and using it to craft narratives in in in society, and they're not paying podcasters enough for coming up with these ideas.
7:07Richard Greaser Yeah.
7:08Rod Palmer And journalists as well. I mean, it's when people are writing fake news, I mean, the only way to not be get in trouble later because somebody, you know, is accusing you of writing false news is to make that news happen so that you are right. So you can't be criticized any
7:26Richard Greaser Well, the CIA seems to have been pretty busy this week. Busier than normal. Yeah. I guess they don't have Sam Ruzoff in Miami. Guess not. So, I mean, what do you what do you make of this this event where where this guy tried to tried to shoot the former president on stage in Pennsylvania?
7:45Rod Palmer I think it was a bold attempt. I think, if they wanted the CIA wanting to make waves, they wanted to send a message. It was certainly one way to do that. Certainly one way to catch people's attention. Everybody's been focused on the girl from Tennessee who said Hochtua and they didn't post nose on TikTok. So they're like, how can we have a bigger story than Hochtula?
8:08Rod Palmer And they came up with one. Unfortunately, you know, the execution was lacking. I, you know, I don't I don't know if the person who was behind the the the shot, I don't know if they've ever taken that shot before. I think it was it was an amateur trying to do an expert, you know,
8:29Rod Palmer job for the CIA. They seem like they might have picked the wrong guy.
8:33Richard Greaser Kinda surprising. All all I know is that there were some really good takes
8:38Rod Palmer online as to what happened. Excellent. Yeah. What was your favorites?
8:45Richard Greaser Well, there were some takes where I think probably my favorite was let me pull it up. I have it saved somewhere. But Walker was suggesting that there were two shooters and that, essentially, we would never know the truth about any of it and that the real shooter would get killed. Jason Lowry was throwing his hat into the ring, his expert
9:10Richard Greaser in inside the government opinion on, what happened and and likening Trump's support to Bitcoin to, Kennedy's executive order delegating
9:24Richard Greaser authority to issue silver certificates to the directory or to the secretary of treasury.
9:30Rod Palmer Interesting. So who's saying that on that one? Who had that take?
9:35Richard Greaser Our our our favorite, our favorite,
9:38Rod Palmer or or favorite, or or favorite, or or favorite, or or favorite, or or favorite, or or favorite, or or favorite, or or favorite, or or favorite, or. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's interesting. That's very interesting. I mean, the military did go in, you know, it has a history of taking world leaders, countries, even presidents out for threatening, dollar supremacy or threatening the central banks or just a conglomerate of banks in the West, their supremacy, or authority or their monopoly.
10:05Rod Palmer Like Gaddafi. They got Moaar, Gaddafi in Libya. They got Saddam in Iraq. They got Kennedy. They've gone after others too. And so it's you know, I could see why people are suspicious. I don't know if I agree with it. Well, it was nice to see
10:27Richard Greaser all of these all these individuals, all the all these former presidents reach out and and show their support, for Donald Trump. I know that, you know, Barack Obama and George Bush, they they shared that they don't believe in political violence and that this was wrong. I didn't see anything from Hillary Clinton,
10:53Richard Greaser which wasn't very surprising to me.
10:57Rod Palmer I'm a little bit surprised that more people haven't, have a theory or have it brought her up. I mean, who else would be,
11:11Rod Palmer you know, who else's influence do you think would have a more of an impact on an event like this other than her? Yeah. Well,
11:18Richard Greaser it it probably means that she does support political violence. And,
11:26Rod Palmer Very that's true. If that I would need some little bit better PR. You at least gotta come out and come against it. Yeah.
11:35Richard Greaser She I don't know about her. I mean, she when she was working, you know, as the secretary of state and just throughout her general career, it was kinda difficult to to tell if she was working for the CIA
11:52Rod Palmer or the CIA was working for her. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sometimes it was like a double agent, but this was like a double director. It's like, was the deep state in charge or was she in charge of them? And that's, my theory is maybe that, she is, you know, the main chariot to hand it for the deep state. Yeah, she might be.
12:13Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it was it was really interesting to see all these politicians that have very clearly used political violence in their careers come out against it. So maybe maybe there's a shift there's a shift happening in the general political sphere where where now they're realizing that their actions in the past, all the assassinations that they've, they participated
12:34Rod Palmer in were wrong. You think they're feeling sorry? Do you think they're feeling remorse? Or do you think they're feeling sorry they got caught? Or they're getting caught?
12:42Richard Greaser Well, I mean, maybe what it is is they're looking at what's happening in Mexico right now with the assassination markets on Solana And they're saying, wow,
12:55Richard Greaser I don't want that to happen to me. There's people attempting to assassinate politicians. Here in The US, the assassination markets are coming here. And and now after my long career of, you know, participating in coups and assassinations all over the world, I don't want
13:16Richard Greaser the American people to think that it's acceptable anymore. I want them to now think that that's not an appropriate path forward. Wow, that's, so it's almost like creating
13:26Rod Palmer a monster that you lose control of. Because if you take away the the crypto assassination market sending that, you're gonna hurt your own CIA. And if you try to take those away and you try to hurt the CIA, I mean, the CIA has a history of lashing out and trying to hurt those who hurt them. So it's it's it's like a double edged sword. Either you're gonna get dunked on on social media, then get ratioed for being a hypocrite about political violence,
13:57Rod Palmer but if you try to actually do anything about it, you try to stamp out the assassination markets or just the crypto markets in general,
14:05Richard Greaser then the CIA is gonna be coming for your head. Yeah, I mean, what, what do we How do you how yeah. What do we do about the CIA? Like, realistically, what can we do? Because they they are so active in the world of journalism. Like, I think one of the first steps towards attacking, you know, the power of the CIA and removing them out of democratic processes by attacking Podkoff and destroying their legitimacy in the eyes of the Bitcoin plugs. Right. I think you have to go, you have to start
14:36Rod Palmer locally, you have to start at a small level and work your way up because you have to clean out so many different industries. You can't do it all at once. You gotta clean up Hollywood. You know, if the compromise, some of the best movies and television shows on TV, on Netflix, Hollywood, they come from the CIA, and we have to be willing to to make that trade off to suffer through maybe low quality movies for a while until somebody else can can replace them. Same with journalism.
15:06Rod Palmer We have to clean up journalism, we have to clean up, so many, you know, the Bitcoin industry, so many other industries, one by one. You have to kick the CIA out at each level.
15:18Richard Greaser I think the movie side of things, we're we're already in a good spot because the the quality of movies that are coming out right now are already bad enough that I think people would, they would be okay with a slight decrease in in quality
15:33Rod Palmer if it means. Right, good. I think, maybe that's a good sign. Maybe it's gotten so, so, the battle's been so strong that Hollywood's on the verge of flipping where it's gonna be replaced. But I don't and it seems like maybe it's coming to journalism too. Yeah. I mean People are ready for alternatives. Our our girl, Candace Owens, she's out there, spinning some fire. I mean, people, people will maybe turn off CNN, they're stopping down the New York Times and they start, they listening to podcasts on Fountain and they start reading the Bugle. I think that they see
16:10Rod Palmer a better quality, more truth, better news, and they're ready for it. Candace Owens could be part of that. She could be part of the value for value community.
16:20Richard Greaser So, I mean, what would it take for us to get Candace Owens to speak at the Bitcoin conference?
16:28Rod Palmer I hear rumors that they're trying. I think, maybe she's asking for a pretty high boost on Fountain for her to come, but maybe it's worth maybe we should all pitch you a few sats to
16:42Richard Greaser to try to get her attention. I yeah. I mean, I've been tweeting at her. I I don't really know what it's gonna take. I'm not very good at act or interacting with these, you know, these these babes on on Twitter, these e girls. And maybe there's you know, I I had a pleb, like I was talking with a pleb about this in DMs,
17:08Richard Greaser earlier this week on on how do we get Candace to speak at the conference. And he suggested that I I open up a DM by sending a dick pic. And I didn't think that was very good advice. I I've yet to encounter a woman in real life that appreciates getting a dick pic spent sent to them.
17:28Rod Palmer And I don't Yeah. I think if Yeah. Yeah. If if people's orange billing skills are indicative of their, of their skills in the dating life or picking up chicks, I think that they're probably doing pretty poorly. I think I think if,
17:43Richard Greaser if anything, this assassination attempt would probably make it more likely for her to wanna speak at the conference because, her, her idol is gonna be there speaking in the former president. And, I feel like that'd be a little bit more motivation for her. But, I mean, maybe what it comes down to is you just need David Bailey to to kinda get his priorities in order. Like, the the world's not gonna get orange pilled.
18:10Rod Palmer People aren't gonna realize that Bitcoin is won until Candace starts talking about it. Oh, yeah. I mean, million. That's that's a that's an audience of millions that they could join forces with the conference. I mean, the Big World Conference has a lot of enemies. They could use all of the crazy podcast and
18:31Rod Palmer alternative journalism outlets that they can get backing them. Yep.
18:36Richard Greaser Well, in the same way that there's this kind of like political civil war that's taking place right now in the country, there seems to be a PodCon civil war happening. And you mentioned the conference being a contentious topic amongst many Bitcoiners right now. It's been, to me, it's been surprising and interesting to watch. I'm not really sure what to make of all the contention around it. It seems like it's good. It goes back
19:02Rod Palmer at least a year or two. It's I, at some point, the, there became too many conferences. It didn't, it went from being a scarcity to, to a glut, to oversupply.
19:17Rod Palmer And now they're fighting over, you know, scarce attendants they're scarce ticket buyers. So it's created a lot of hostilities due to competition. We need to grow the we need to grow the amount of people who wanna buy conference tickets to solve it. Well, I think that brings up kind of an
19:35Richard Greaser interesting hypothetical for us to look at in the future is how do we keep or prevent the intellectual Silk Road from kind of devolving into this low level of discourse in the same way that Podkoff is written. I think you have to keep it small.
19:53Rod Palmer I think try I think there's there's a lesson in trying to become too one single entity trying to become too large,
20:00Richard Greaser too centralized. So as long as the intellectual Silk Road remains decentralized in the way it is right now, you think will be successful. Decentralized and exclusive.
20:12Rod Palmer Exactly. Because everybody talks about mass adoption, but then you're necessarily watering down quality. You're playing to the lowest common denominator and then that's how you run into trouble. If you don't have high standards, you'll, you'll be like the, the secret service and they just let anybody, work for them, even if they're not qualified and they're not, physically fit or mentally fit or just opt for the task
20:37Richard Greaser and they'll let you down. You could you could lose your life. I I think, you know, a lot of people have been very bigoted this week, you know, in multiple ways. One of the ways has been, you know, questioning the Secret Service's capabilities because it's been staffed by a lot of the people protecting the former president were women. He doesn't, he's not popular with them.
21:06Rod Palmer They might have been disgusted with something he said and just let look the other way.
21:12Richard Greaser Kind of like a Megyn Kelly type individual,
21:17Rod Palmer that's what you're thinking. Right. I mean, I'm not saying, I'm just speculating here, but it's, you know, it's something that, something that could definitely have come into play even if they didn't realize it consciously?
21:33Richard Greaser Yeah, I mean, if I was a Secret Service agent and I was a woman, I would definitely be pretty nervous that Trump would be, lurking around the corner trying to grab me by the pussy.
21:44Rod Palmer You'd lose your focus.
21:45Richard Greaser Yeah. That'd that'd be very distracting to have, you know, such a powerful individual like that attempting to to do things like that, when you're trying to protect them. It'd be very distracting. So maybe maybe that, you know, is kind of a an indicator of what could be what could have potentially happened, on Saturday, which was that, you know, the Secret Service agents were distracted
22:13Richard Greaser by the former president having attempted to grab them by the pussy
22:18Rod Palmer at some point throughout the day. They had it. The closer they got to him after the shots came out, that it seemed like the more flustered they got. That could be an indication. Well,
22:28Richard Greaser I'm looking forward to the conference. It it it's gonna be a lot more interesting than I was expecting it to be. And it's it's good that there is a a very clear topic to replace ordinals this year. I think that was the question on everybody's mind was that, you know, ordinals is continuously becoming less relevant in
22:51Richard Greaser the, in kind of like the, the Bitcoiner discussion
22:58Rod Palmer slash It's been normalized. Is that, you know, and that's you could question if that's good or bad. I think Terrence would have, Terrence Yang would have an opinion on that. I don't think he's over it, but I think most people are. And so they needed something new to fight about and if we're kind of running out, there's kind of a scarcity on things that could make people pissed off, which is kind of surprising that you'd think that we'd never run out of it, but it seemed like we did, but now this politics is is really re energized
23:29Richard Greaser toxicity online. Yeah. I mean, it it it's apparent to me, and I think we mentioned this last week on the on the show, is that politics has been their word balls. And if there was any question in anybody's mind, the events this week
23:45Rod Palmer should make it pretty pretty apparent that's the case. And it comes down. It's it's back to almost a discussion of censorship too. If you wanna shut it down, you have to censor and it's too difficult to do it. Yeah, I mean, how do you filter politics
24:01Richard Greaser in an environment like this where things are so contentious right now? I don't know if you can. I think you inherently
24:09Rod Palmer you inherently have some people running, I think some people are running those to clients that are filtering politics. I think that's, but it's, it's a very small cohort. I don't think it necessarily has a big impact on the network as a whole, but you can't keep it out of, you just can't keep it out of the, the cultural, the cultural time chain, the timeline, any, any timeline you go to, it's going to be hard to
24:32Richard Greaser have those opinions filtered out. Yeah. I mean, like, what are, what are these, these people's relays consist of? Like, is there any content on them at all? Right. If they, if they want, otherwise they'll be too isolated. They'll just be, at ghost town.
24:45Rod Palmer People's arguing about ordinals. It's like getting on Xbox live, enjoying, like, Call of Duty two. There's, like, 14 people that are still playing, and they're the hardcore people. They love it, and they will always be arguing about ordinals.
24:57Richard Greaser But it's just lost mainstream favor. Well, I guess one thing I wanted to talk about, that that we didn't have this on the agenda,
25:04Rod Palmer Did you did you see that I did a live stream in or in the orange mark? I heard about that. I didn't get a chance to watch it yet. How did that go?
25:12Richard Greaser Well, unfortunately, you can't watch it because I didn't record it. But it went really well. I got to I got to hang out with, Tip NZ. I got killed by a bear.
25:26Rod Palmer I was How long did you last? Did you find clothes?
25:29Richard Greaser I I was given clothes by one of the members of the organization. Oh, nice.
25:34Rod Palmer Nice.
25:35Richard Greaser So I actually Charitable community. It it was a very charitable community. I was actually kinda shocked because I I was not expecting to hang out with anybody, but I announced that I was, gonna be in the, the Orange Mart and then all of a sudden, I was, riding horses with Tip NZ through the desert, and Wow. Getting a helicopter ride. I can't I don't know who the person,
25:60Richard Greaser showing me around was, but there was an individual that that gave me a very thorough tour of the entire island. And, yeah, it was a it was a pretty good time. I would I would highly suggest to anybody out there that gets a chance to go check it out.
26:18Rod Palmer Now, that sounds like some, like, really charitable hospitality. I was under the impression that this island was was pretty, you know, violent or or dog eat dog or just very competitive.
26:34Rod Palmer If you're a lot of crime, a lot of just people being crazy, but it sounds like you could go arseback riding and rode helicopters around the house. Sounds like a nice church in Hawaii.
26:45Richard Greaser Well, there actually was somebody that that did try to kill me, but my Okay. My tour guide, I didn't have any weapons. I I just had my, my little torch, and my rock to protect me. What what I think happened is is the person, you know, realized that that I had Bitcoin and tried to attack me to to steal my Bitcoin
27:10Rod Palmer as a result. Oh, wow. $5 rush attack.
27:14Richard Greaser Yeah. But, like, in this case, you know, on on islands, like, it it's not always easy to get a wrench. So, like, the the individuals that are spawned into the game, they don't have wrenches, but they do have rocks. So you you can experience what I was calling an immaculate
27:35Richard Greaser conceived rock attack instead of a wrench attack.
27:40Rod Palmer How did they know that you had that you had hard money on you?
27:44Richard Greaser Well, I I think it's just part of being in the the game server in of itself. Okay. You know, because it's it's like when when you go to, like, a Bitcoin meetup or Bitcoin conference, you probably have Bitcoin. And when you go to the Orange Mart, you probably have Bitcoin. And so I think that means profiling us. Wow, it's like,
28:08Rod Palmer it makes you think about your in real life interactions. People just know that your proximity, that you've got that money somehow. Just be careful, I guess, when you go to this.
28:18Richard Greaser Well, this is why, you know, the Bitcoiners, they talk about OPSEC pretty frequently.
28:26Rod Palmer And, Right, right. It's good to have OPSEC when you go to Nashville to the biggest gathering of Bitcoins in the world because it's gonna be a lot of suspicion there. There. Yeah.
28:37Richard Greaser And not only is there suspicion, but now there's assassination markets in play. And so that's something that's kinda scary to think about, you know, from an influencer standpoint is that somebody could could have started a betting market on your demise. And you think,
28:58Rod Palmer have you heard of any of these markets popping up? Is there any
29:02Richard Greaser poly market or anything else that's talking about the odds of some events happening maybe at people's expense? Yeah. I've I've not followed it super super closely, but I know there's a few websites that kinda track what's happening on Solana right now. And so, I mean, maybe maybe this is, like, why people, took the Bitcoin only approach is because
29:28Richard Greaser they they realized that these Altcoins were gonna be where these non compliant type markets were happening first before Bitcoin.
29:39Rod Palmer Right. If you have one of those Phantom Solana wallets, you're most likely you're gonna be a lot much more likely targeted in these, in these, you know, peer to peer bounties on these markets. It's just making yourself an easy target.
29:52Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, what's what do you think's a good OPSEC that the players can practice at the conference?
29:58Rod Palmer I kind of it kind of depends on your approach. I mean, some people like to just, you know, put a strike anchorchief over their face. Some people might wear a medical mask. So some people like to cover up and some people like to blend in. You know, you could wear a air force flight suit. It could be like the Swan Force. You could, you could just get like a t shirt from your favorite company.
30:26Rod Palmer You just try to blend in with the meme gangs that you follow online. Woo, what do you recommend?
30:33Richard Greaser I mean, I think the big one is to just pretend like you don't own any Bitcoin And and maybe maybe to wear, like, an altcoin t shirt. So, like, if you're walking around I'll keep all my savings in Tether.
30:47Rod Palmer Yeah. Or keep all my savings in, you know, Gemini USD. Yeah. The the PayPal coin. Yeah.
30:55Richard Greaser Yeah. Like, the the hot one that a lot of people have been talking about recently, is Casper. And so I think if you want to to like come off as being like one of the poorest, one of the uninitiated
31:13Richard Greaser that doesn't really understand how any of this works, maybe where it has been. Maybe not. Yeah.
31:19Rod Palmer You might wanna be careful because I think there's people that will, exploit your naivete or your lack of sophistication to try to show you things. It might be interesting. Yeah. Well I think the house, but we'll probably Yeah. Go ahead. Well, I mean,
31:33Richard Greaser like, getting these shitcoiners to shill to you is actually a very interesting process to to learn about, you know, the perspective of what the shitcoiners were thinking. And and so having a shirt like a Casper t shirt at the Bitcoin conference,
31:54Richard Greaser one, it'll probably help you to fit in better with the crowd that's there, but also, it might lead to some pretty interesting conversation.
32:06Rod Palmer Do you think they'll have a big presence in the mining section? Isn't that I feel like a lot of people are talking about mining Casper. I think, Marathon is is starting to do that too.
32:16Richard Greaser Yeah. I want I wonder if they're doing that because, like, the the Casper miners acquired and the Bitcoin miners. But I know they've had a lot of noise issues. I ran an article. So it's kind
32:29Rod Palmer so it could be it could be a way to it's it's not like buying carbon credits offsets buying tests, but to buy environmental noise, to dampen that sound but still make money.
32:43Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, that's a really that's a really interesting, it's an interesting thought. So wait for them to generate revenue, still be mining a proof of work coin and not diverting from the the business model too much. Right. But not making too much noise. No. Yeah. They can do it they can do it quietly. Very, very interesting, which might
33:07Richard Greaser be. We'll have to we'll have to ask some of these Bitcoin miner these Bitcoin mining experts out there. May maybe one of the listeners could let us know in the booth. Is mining Casper quiet or the mining bit What about,
33:23Rod Palmer what is is it still cool or is it still edgy to wear Monero
33:29Richard Greaser gear to the conference? I I definitely think it's pretty edgy. Like, essentially, in doing that, you're asking the FBI agents and the CIA agent agents to approach you. And so if that's your concern
33:43Rod Palmer Do you think that people undercover will be there wearing a shirt that says Monero to try to encourage people to come up to talk to them about how they're using private privacy on on chain?
33:59Richard Greaser Probably. I I could I could see that as being a very high likelihood. I think it's a very good prediction. And, you know, why why the spooks are gonna be their rock and Monero is ultimately they want they want liquidity. They want people using those tokens that they're using to launder the Ukraine money
34:20Richard Greaser into the the pot into the hardware wallets, politicians.
34:25Rod Palmer Absolutely. I think the best course, the best action to take, if you see somebody with an XMR, Monero, SWAG, or any Zcash,
34:35Rod Palmer it would be to chest, don't even make eye contact with them. Don't talk to them, just avoid them, Let them mingle about but just don't give them any attention because that's what they want. That's why they're wearing it. They want attention because you can't give it to them. Yeah, it's kinda I mean, there's
34:53Richard Greaser gonna be probably some privacy influencers that are there doing stuff like that. But there's probably also gonna be some chain analysis type influencers.
35:06Rod Palmer I know there was a Potential for some internships. They probably have internships available. They'll be everywhere. Yeah. I think I think probably the rule is not just narrow people, but to consider everyone and every company there is there to raise liquidity, short term or long term. I'm I'm kinda shocked that,
35:26Richard Greaser the Bitcoin magazine is not they haven't come up with some sort of, like, Bitcoin related KYC product, like Sailor's Orange, in order to,
35:41Richard Greaser be able to KYC individuals at the conference, if you know what I mean.
35:47Rod Palmer Because, like Right. I wonder they'll probably use, like, triangulation. Like, if your phone connects to a network and you show up on a, you know, a surveillance camera, they could get some information about it. They could triangulate.
36:01Richard Greaser So it's like a stealth KYC. It might it might be an issue that comes up, you know, as we get closer to the conference and and the secret services. I I doubt they they wanna repeat what just happened this week where an individual attended one of the events without KYC and almost was able to to kill the president the the foreign president. Yeah.
36:26Rod Palmer I think another aspect here to keep in mind at the conference is that if you are an influencer, you're just somebody who somehow got a free ticket, is that remember that anything that is any product where the service is free,
36:42Rod Palmer you are the product. There's a reason they want you there for free. There's a lot of companies that pay a lot of money for those booths to make sure that they can, you know, get their get some info, catch your, catch your attention and info too while you're there. So is BTC Or is he you no. Is BTC Sessions gonna be teaching Donald Trump about
37:03Richard Greaser self custody? Do you know? Has this been confirmed? I I saw a lot of people tweeting about it. I don't I don't think he accepted the offer.
37:11Rod Palmer I think he he, this is a conscientious objector to this conference. To the conference or to Donald Trump self custody in Bitcoin? I think just a conference. I don't think he's a I think he would object to anybody. I think that's part of his principles.
37:28Rod Palmer Use the the wallets that he does YouTube videos for.
37:32Richard Greaser Why why why would somebody be a conscientious objector? Like, is it just that people are kinda realizing what's going on with Podkoff and are, like, totally opposed to it? I don't really understand, like, how these individuals that have been shilling this conference for years now all of a sudden have
37:52Richard Greaser an error post to it. No. You cut out there for a second, so I missed the first part. But can you repeat the question? Yeah. I just I don't understand how all these individuals that have been so supportive of David Bailey and Bitcoin Magazine now all of a sudden are conscientious injectors? Like, what what changed? Was it isn't
38:13Richard Greaser is it all about politics? Is it the fact that David is so tight with the former president now that they're having
38:22Rod Palmer issues with the That's true. It's that and or it's that and ordinals. I think those are the two driving wedges. It's it's it's somebody can do so much. You have such a close an ordinals of tear in politics to tear families apart, tearing
38:39Richard Greaser alliances apart. It's really unfortunate because, like, it seems like it's kind of a time to unite. More than ever. You see, Dennis is worried about our unity, and he's right. Yeah. I'm not really sure why people would, you know, wanna be so upset on arguing about something like this because it it seems like, you know, things are kinda sad, but I don't know. I mean, maybe people are just, like, really big fan of, of Nance and Luke. But but even even, like, those guys are gonna be there, you know? Like, Luke's Luke's planning on being at the conference, so I'm not sure. Well, yeah. I mean, they have they have something to sell.
39:21Rod Palmer And I think BTC Sessions might just be maybe he's looking for more appreciation for selling so many things for other people.
39:31Richard Greaser I wonder, yeah, maybe maybe his re maybe he was having issues getting like a a visa to come in the country. Because I know they made it
39:40Rod Palmer harder. That's a bit that that could be it. We might have reached our quota on Canadians. You didn't act I mean, I think there's too many Canadians in Bitcoin,
39:50Richard Greaser personally. It really bothers me. They've been looking like they're gonna beat us to $100,000 Bitcoin.
39:58Rod Palmer And I'm really They never quite make it? No. They never quite make it. It feels like we need somebody else to finally break that barrier. I just don't think they're capable. There's just not enough.
40:10Richard Greaser There's not enough Canadians. Is Jordan Peterson gonna be there? That's the real question. Because that might that might get them get the Canadians riled up enough to to buy enough Bitcoin to hit that 100 k. I wonder if there's any meme markets meme coin markets on the the probability of him crying on stage. What do you think the odds of him crying on stage are? I I think it's probably pretty high. I the
40:36Rod Palmer yeah. I think it's he's we're probably gonna if you wanna bet on that one, you're probably gonna have to take really, really low or, you know, really high odds. It's not it's gonna cost a lot to win a little. Right?
40:47Richard Greaser I bet you could get Jordan Peterson to cry on stage if you put him on a panel with Shinobi.
40:55Rod Palmer I think that would do it. What should they debate? I think. Being anonymous if it's moral?
41:00Richard Greaser I think I mean, that would be a good topic. I think general dating, dating in the Bitcoin ecosystem, that might be a a good one. Because I know Jordan has a lot of opinions on that, as does Shinobi. I mean, imagine That would be really beneficial.
41:18Rod Palmer Yeah. I'd like to hear that one.
41:20Richard Greaser I agree. I I think, conversation with Shinobi about dating and Jordan Peterson. And maybe Robert Breedlove. I'd I'd like to hear Robert Breedlove share his opinions on on dating as well. It'd be like a night's round table. But I'm I'm excited for the conference. Like, I I know we're gonna we're going to try and and hang out with our listeners as much as possible. And I'm bringing a bunch of cigarettes,
41:49Richard Greaser you know, to sell to people, which, you know, might get a little bit more difficult this year, unfortunately, because of how many, how many spooks are gonna be at the conference, probably more than normal. I mean, I I want I want to be so prolific that the ETF
42:08Richard Greaser is forced to have a booth at the conference every year. That's how many cigarettes I wanna sell at these things, guys. I want them to see it as, like, a major threat to their authority that Richard Grieser is selling non KYC cigarettes to Bitcoin conference. And so if you can help me accomplish that, that would be huge.
42:28Rod Palmer It would be kind of we talked about this. It'd be kind of funny just to have an impromptu competition for who can stand outside in the sun the longest with no sunscreen and, not get sunburned? Because I know people are really proud of that. Who who do you think would win? My my bet would be on Steven Wodka. Oh, yeah. That was my that was my choice as well. I mean, hands down. But I, you know, there could be some people out there who could pose a real serious challenge.
42:54Richard Greaser I know a lot of people are really have been really working hard on raising that, sunburn to hearts. Yeah. I mean, there there definitely could be a dark horse in that race. My my suggestion of an event that I think would be really fun is to to see who could poke a pack of Marlboros the quickest and just sit there and puff. I think my record for a whole pack at once is, like,
43:21Richard Greaser forty five seconds or so. So
43:25Rod Palmer Wow. Do you use any, like, special technology to accomplish it, or is it just so fast?
43:32Richard Greaser It's just it's just proof Like a Rubik's cube. It's, like, a more impressive. It's proof of work. It's just, you gotta you gotta get it down so that you you're able you have the lung capacity, but you can suck one cigarette down in one breath
43:49Rod Palmer is the the key. So a little bit. It's like a little bit of, who's the guy that eats the meat and hot dogs really fast? Joey, is it Joey Chestnut? Yep. Combined with like it's like Joey Chestnut's ability to consume with, David Gaiden's, mental toughness.
44:08Richard Greaser Definitely. Well, yeah, let's, let's wrap this up with the fountain base real quick. And if you gotta run,
44:18Rod Palmer just run. Yeah. Yeah. Just I gotta run. I'll, so I'll take it off. So it's good to talk to you guys today. Sorry that I won't be able to Alright. Well, thanks for dropping in, Ron.
44:29Richard Greaser Okay. Well, I'm gonna do a solo, and it's gonna be epic. I'm excited to read these final reviews. So we got some we got some pretty big boost right off the bat. Alright. So our first boost is from our good friend, We All Eat, for 21,021 sats and says, LMFAO, I'm rolling on the ground.
44:51Richard Greaser Y'all are some compliant mofos. Blow that fucking horn everywhere you go for the people. Well, thank you, Wieli. I I wouldn't say that we're compliant. I'd say we're we're very noncompliant, and you could just tell by a journalistic style that we're not
45:09Richard Greaser we're not in it to comply, like many of the other journalists in this industry. But, yeah, thank you for the support as always in the boost, and we'll definitely definitely wanna hang out with you in Nashville. Fundamentals was the next boost for 20,000
45:26Richard Greaser sats. He said, this is a legit value for value boost or v for v boost. And in no way in no KYC noncompliant under the radar sponsorship
45:40Richard Greaser payment. Okay. So this is this is something that came up this week. So Slide Goomba was throwing some shade at us saying that we had some sort of under the radar sponsorship going on with, fundamentals in the Rock Paper Bitcoin podcast.
45:59Richard Greaser And I'd just like to address that real quick. That that was some some silly fun. You you can see your found abuse. You can see who's giving it to us. In no way is it, you know, under the table. It's very transparent. You know, we we listen to each other's content and we boost each other. And it's just the value for value ecosystem. I don't I don't know what his deal was. Maybe maybe it was because people weren't boosting his podcast or or what the deal is. But, like,
46:31Richard Greaser you know, we have something special going on here with the intellectual Silk Road, and I understand why people would try and fund it. I'm not too worried about it. You know, fund away if you want to. We are the best journalists in the game, you know, for a reason because we engage primarily in this value for value ecosystem and we don't take sponsorship money in the same way that, you know, that many of the the pod comp, captured podcasts do. Next one is from Rod who says, the the intellectual so called as the revolution for 10,000 sats. And, yeah, I agree. It is the revolution. And just kinda going off, you know, the the previous boost from fundamentals, we're doing something cool here, guys. We're doing something really cool here. And it's only we're only able to do this because of your support.
47:19Richard Greaser And so the real revolution, the real signal is happening here on the People Weekly. It's happening on these other individuals that are affiliated with intellectual silkworm. Road. So just you know, the fun is ridiculous. Ex patriotic comes in with the next one for 5,000 stats and says,
47:38Richard Greaser the amount of signal on this podcast is insane. Yeah. Of course, it's insane. It's because we're credentialed journalists and we're part of the intellectual Silk Road and we're engaging in the value for value economy. I'm not sure why this is surprising to people. Maybe it's because they're just so accustomed to listening to PodConf oriented content. But yeah. It it shouldn't be surprising to people. I don't know why anybody's surprised.
48:08Richard Greaser But make sure get out there, tell your friends about what you're hearing on the People Weekly. The next one is from Business Cat over at Rock Paper Bitcoin for 4,444 sats. It's like a good four and a half cigarettes right there, who just did a strong-arm emoji. Thank you, business cat. Appreciate it. Next one is from Bliza who boosted for 3,333
48:36Richard Greaser sats and said, damn, that intro song is a banger. WTF. Yeah. It was a banger. It was it was a fun one to write. Bliza is referencing the, the princess and the podcast listener song, which we ran on the show last week.
48:52Richard Greaser If you like any of them, head over to Wave Lake. And, I'm putting all the the intro songs that we're using over on Wave Lake where you can listen to them if you want to. Yeah. I'm a big big fan of that platform. That's the only place I really post the music. I'll I post the music videos I do for them on, on Rumble occasionally. But, yeah, Wave Lake is definitely the place to listen to. And you can you can even listen to the Wave Lake songs
49:22Richard Greaser on Fountain. So if you already have the Fountain app, you don't even have to go to a new platform to look for it, but you can search Richard Grieser on, on Fountain and and search in the music section and and look at all the songs that I'm doing.
49:37Richard Greaser But, appreciate the recognition and boost on that one, Bliza. The next one is from brothera.b.i.l.e for 2,250 sats. And said the comparison to Protestants
49:56Richard Greaser and the non PodCon really spoke to me. Keep up all the great work. Yeah. That that was an interesting thing that we talked about. We were talking about coniferous, you know, essentially being like the Martin Luther Bitcoin and, you know, trying to push back against this love of El Salvador as being like the Bitcoin holy land.
50:19Richard Greaser And appreciate Konekorus for, you know, putting himself out there like that and really taking the role of being being the Protestant Bitcoin or pushing back against the the the Catholic church and all their nonsense. The next one is from or the last one is from Pies for 420
50:42Richard Greaser sats. It says, shout out to Rock Paper Bitcoin homies. So got got a big show of support from the rock paper Bitcoin guys last week on the boost, and I really appreciate it. But, yeah, we're getting into some pretty crazy,
51:00Richard Greaser crazy times. You know, these assassination markets are happening. You know, People people, unfortunately, are gonna die, as they kinda, you know, figure out the game theory of what's going on here.
51:15Richard Greaser And I don't think people are mentally prepared for it. I'm just getting mentally prepared for it. I think I'm ahead of the curve because I'm the one covering the news on these topics. But, you know, plebs out there, just prepare yourself mentally. You know, fortify your mind and prepare to
51:35Richard Greaser attempt to be shocked. The writers writing, you know, the storyline of what's going on with the selection process, you know, they're getting kinda ballsy and and experimental. They're going to places that that haven't been seen for a very long time in American politics or or even new.
51:55Richard Greaser And so we don't know what to expect. And that that makes things very, very interesting. So just prepare, fortify your mind, and stay safe out there. But, yeah. Appreciate everybody tuning in to the show this week,
52:15Richard Greaser and we will catch you on the next Beagle Weekly.
52:23Unknown Thank you for tuning in to this week's episode of the Bugle Weekly and for supporting the show. Buckle up because this selection cycle is only getting started. Bitcoin has won, and while everyone is focused on politicians, us at the Bugle are focused on celebrating living in hyperbitcoinization instead. It is a time for non compliance, as the CIA continues to hit all time high levels of non compliance. We need to out non comply them, and show them we mean business.
52:49Unknown If you're going to the ordinals mag conference in Nashville, make sure to bring funds on lightning to be able to transact with us. We will see you there, and thanks for tuning in to this episode of the Bugle Weekly.
53:07Richard Greaser When everything you read in the news is a lie, on whose narrative can you lean on and rely? What is real? What is true? What can you do? Voting is a sacred ritual for those without a clue. If the CIA shoot drunk like they shot Kennedy, how do you cure this cancer? Is there a remedy? A society who believes that elections are real, Paying the taxes through a system that steals. If you are a sane person who wants the wars to end, who in the government can you call a friend? They get foam at the mouth, they're out for blood. Propaganda covering the world like a flood.
53:43Richard Greaser Democracy's a system for those without a clue. Just because you are scared doesn't change what is true. If you have a brain, know what to do. Defiance is the choice. No one is coming to save you. If you are sane and believing morals, now is not the time to rest on laurels. You must avert the cis stone with all you got. A compliance strike is happening. A war must be fought. Now is not the time to be weak and docile. The state will respond by being hostile, but self respect to man's being grave.
54:27Richard Greaser The situation we find ourselves in is getting grave. If you are a sane person who wants the wars to end, who in the government can you call a friend? State is home at the mouth, they're round four blood. Propaganda cover in the world like a flood. Democracy is a system for those without a clue. Just because you are scared doesn't change what is true. If you have a brain, you know what to do. Defiance is the choice. No one is
