0:02Richard Greaser To my fellow first responders, first, I'd like to say thank you. I'd just like to say thanks to all those who continue to serve. Who put the interests of those companies they've sworn to serve before their own? Don't second guess what you're doing and the value you provide each and every single day. I'd like to personally say thank you to the first responders in the Bitcoin industry

0:24Unknown that run towards crashing out plebs to keep brands out of harm's way.

0:29Unknown While those of us pioneering the frontier move forward into the first turning, plebs and boomers stuck in the fourth turning are still crashing out every day at an alarming rate. According to BitMex research, a new pleb crashes out every twenty one seconds. But that doesn't mean they have to sell all their Bitcoin and fumble generational wealth, thanks to the brave customer service associates at Bitcoin companies. These Bitcoin customer service professionals are on the front lines fielding calls and emails from their customers in crisis. They listen to the incoherent slot brands and core conspiracy theories with compassion and low time preference. They don't judge. They counsel. Join us in saluting the first responders in the Bitcoin customer service industry. It's a thankless job, but we thank you anyway.

1:10Richard Greaser Folks, welcome back to the Bee Weekly. We are in the first turning, and, there's not a whole lot of, new happenings in the sense of, like, changes of themes. It's just, you know, it's chaos in the streets, the plebs are bad, you know, pretty much the same stuff that,

1:31Richard Greaser we've been talking about over and over and over again. Same themes. But despite the themes being the same, there there sure are quite a few updates this week. Mexico is at war with itself. They're canceling flights all over the place. The Middle East, complete disaster. On the home front,

1:55Richard Greaser the Plebs are mad at Odell. It has been very entertaining week to say the least. How you how you doing, Ron? You know,

2:09Rod Palmer a lot of people at Bitcoin 2024, when Donald Trump, he came out and said he's gonna fire a dairy counselor. Everybody cheered, and they cheered so loud that it took Trump aback, and he said, Wow, I didn't realize that you guys really hated Gary Gensler. And he said it again, and everybody cheered. And a couple of years later, we're seeing what happens when there's no law and order.

2:35Rod Palmer Mexicano is finding out what happens when there's no law and order. The financial markets are finding out what it's it's like when there's no law and order. And what happens is you have nobody there to prevent the pledge from crashing out. You got pledge crashing out on each other in Mexico and it's very violent. You have pledge crashing out of each other on

2:59Rod Palmer in Bitcoin, and David Bailey has been charged with felony jester maxing for what he did at Nakamoto. The Uzi and the ordinals and all the spammers, quote unquote,

3:16Rod Palmer are facing an uprising of citizen plebs, fighting back against Jester Maxing on chain. Is you get vigilante justice and you get this. Every everybody is taking matters into their own hands.

3:32Rod Palmer And when Pete when Pete we talked about self, accountability, personal responsibility, take being a pioneer and taking charge of your own life, self sovereignty. But, this is not that, like this is a like a collective mob.

3:48Rod Palmer And, when when plants take matters into their own hands, things get sloppy. And, we're seeing that well that's the theme right now. Everything is just it's extremely sloppy. And, either the it's either because the pledge think that they're in charge

4:05Rod Palmer or because the people who are in like official positions of authority who are in charge, they are they're either acting to please

4:17Rod Palmer the plebs or they're, you know, they're sloppy themselves, they're sloppy like plebs themselves.

4:25Richard Greaser It's a train wreck. It's a train wreck. Stuff? Yeah. I mean, the if we were to do a modern interpretation of, Atlas Shrugged, The the plot of the story is essentially what happens to society when the clubs get in charge of it,

4:43Richard Greaser and it just falls apart. Like, that that's essentially the the plot of Atlas Shrugged and and some degree we're watching it happen in real time.

4:54Rod Palmer Yeah, this is, like I said, the result is sloppy. The result is sla. And you're seeing it trickle down into, you

5:09Rod Palmer know, places where it matters. Places that we don't want, like Puerto Vallarta is supposed to be a resort town where you can go on vacation, you know, be an expat, have a good time. Cartels are gonna leave you alone because you're insulated. It was an insulated

5:27Rod Palmer area. The, you know, liberals in New York City, the rich people in Manhattan are seeing the consequences of electing a pledge mayor in Zoran Mondani. The and now you've got Odell

5:39Rod Palmer stepping into the public discourse about the BIP one ten, Nazis versus courtliness law he's been staying out of. He's, you know, the meme of, you know, just wait until the people who want to be left alone get indulged. This is this is that incarnate. Odell just wanted to be left alone on Noster, and and stay out of all this. He's he's had to enter the fray because

6:06Rod Palmer the the the Pledit initiative, the Pledslop initiative is now threatening, threatening Bitcoin, threatening the protocol. Because the Plaids have taken matters into their own hands, and it's gotten out of control.

6:19Richard Greaser Yeah. It's been interesting seeing Odell, hop in there. The the Plaids are mad. They they I I I've heard that many of them are burning their Citadel dispatch hats and flags.

6:36Richard Greaser They're that upset about Odell being in the fray. But, you know, the all all I can see I just got out of, the HOA meeting, and, I would I've been working on this for a while. I finally got it passed in my neighborhood. We have passed a resolution banning

6:58Richard Greaser clubs from moving in to the neighborhood. And I'm I'm very excited about this, but I think this is, you know, one of those things when we're in times like this, it's it's never been more important for segregation, for the pioneers to segregate themselves from the clubs. Like, you don't you don't want your children going to a club school and being around club kids.

7:25Richard Greaser You don't want, your wife having to shop at Club grocery stores. You don't wanna be eating Club food. You don't wanna be listening to Club podcasts. You don't wanna be hanging out in pleb areas.

7:41Rod Palmer You don't want your daughter dating a pleb. You don't want, you know what I mean, like you, there's certain things that cross

7:52Rod Palmer the lot, and you just you try to be taller, and you try to just get along, nobody's hurting anybody, and then your daughter brings home a plaid. She take, the plaid picks her up, for a date to take her to prom, and they're like, I didn't realize my daughter was a plaid blower. And, then he's like, I want them out of my neighborhood. I want I want plaids out of my children's schools.

8:19Rod Palmer I want I want the plaids off the football team. I want I I I wanna go back to the way things were before the pledge infiltrated my citadel, my mental citadel. And this is at this point, we're reaching a stage where Bitcoin is a multi trillion dollar

8:43Rod Palmer asset at this point. BlackRock has a lot of money in stake. Michael Saylor, corporations, suit corners, businesses, multi governments,

8:56Rod Palmer government officials have stake in the future of the Bitcoin network. And it's time people are saying that it's time to segregate the Plebs. Oh, segregate a separate but equal chain. A big one ten chain and and and the and the longest work proof of work chain that they coin chain. The plebs need to be segregated to their own, their own blockchain, their own protocol.

9:22Rod Palmer And the plebs do not want that to happen. But some of the plebs are willing to to move to the the ghetto chain or to be an uncle pleb, so to speak. And, they're signaling that, but there's a lot of plebs who say, no, I want to be a part of

9:44Rod Palmer the the longest chain I just want, I've got whatever I have to do to fit in, whatever I have to do to succeed, the incentives, the assimilation that I have to do to stay on the main chain. Because I do not want to be segregated. I do not want to be split off. And, this is a very complicated

10:03Rod Palmer conflict and a complicated consensus argument, so to speak. But, the biggest lie that the devil ever told was the Plebs won the block size wars. And the Plebs are running around and they're claiming that they won the block size wars. That the but the user activated soft fork, but that is a very and again,

10:27Rod Palmer stereotypical of the plebs, a plebs slap oversimplification of what happened during the block size wars. The misunderstanding of the game theory that went into why the block size wars ended like they did. And so the Plebs think that they won the block size wars and they think that they're gonna win this conflict.

10:49Rod Palmer But they're in for they're in for a reawakening if they don't understand it that it's more complex than they than they initially believe.

10:60Richard Greaser I was talking to somebody at the Bitcoin conference, and I don't think there's gonna be a lot of clubs going this year because they're they're mad at the conference. I mean, they've been mad at the conference over and over again, but one of one of the things that is kind of heartening, is that they're gonna have I was told at least that they're gonna have separate drinking fountains for the plebs

11:22Richard Greaser and for other people. Like, they're they're really gonna take the segregation seriously so that, you know, the attendees don't have to be bothered with sharing things like drinking fountains with plebs. But, but, yeah, you know, the the the plagues, they don't write history. They just kinda follow the leader. They follow the winners at the end of the day. And then what they what they do is they they try to take credit for what the winners did.

11:57Richard Greaser They the clubs don't have podcasts. They don't write the history books. They don't they've never been right in human history. I I put out a a challenge to Noster, and I asked, name one single time in history that the plebs were right,

12:18Richard Greaser and nobody could give me an answer. Not a single person could give me an answer. The plebs have never been correct about anything in history.

12:29Rod Palmer And it's it's not to say that plebs did not run the right node that ultimately succeeded

12:40Rod Palmer in the block size wars. What it's to say is that the plebs were not the reason that the block size would they the plebs were the who were on the right node were lucky. And there's gonna be plebs who come out of this conflict lucky,

12:56Rod Palmer But it's not gonna be because day one if if BIP 110 succeeds, it's not the go it's not going to be because of the plebs. And the reason is, maybe I seem biased sometimes or that I make too much fun of a plebs in defend I'm not defending core. I'm not simply I'm not I don't care about core. In fact, I agree with most

13:23Rod Palmer of the, of the criticisms of core that the clubs have or that the the pledge side has. The pledge didn't win the first one, and they're not gonna win this one. And the problem is that the pledge are the only thing that they had one time has going for. It doesn't have the miners, which neither did the the, the small blockers at at first when you approach

13:48Rod Palmer it from the block size wars. But it's much more than that. Like, the the big one ten has nothing but the plebs, and it's it's gonna take more than plebs to to be to be the longest chain.

14:01Richard Greaser You know, some people have been calling me a pioneer supremacist, and I just don't care. I'm fine with that label. I don't think it's offensive to just have disdain for the plebs. Or it's not even a disdain. It's just, you know, realizing that

14:19Richard Greaser you just don't want that type of energy around your children. You know what I mean? You just don't wanna have to deal with it at all.

14:27Rod Palmer It's it's not it's not the title, Plaid. It is the content of their character, so to speak. And it the the the the the plebs are feeling grumpy about this dismissive perspective that more and more people seem to have against them.

14:47Rod Palmer And Justin Bachelor has been, you know, calling this out, and he has been saying that influencers and podcasters and pioneers look at pleb, but pleb is the new n word. And, it it it is a shrine to create this this racial divide between the plebs and the pioneers, which I think is,

15:10Rod Palmer unhelpful. But it does it does feel like to the plebs that they are the new n words and they don't they did not see this coming. They most plebs did not a few years ago. Coming out of COVID with that social capital high, did not see themselves,

15:32Rod Palmer you know, falling from grace to become the new n word. And and they're a little bit caught caught off guard.

15:41Richard Greaser Well, yeah. I mean, they they just got so accustomed to getting glazed by individuals like Corey Clipston, thinking that that was gonna be that, like, that's just their place in history is, like, getting glazed by these, individuals

15:60Richard Greaser that are running these companies and are able to monetize. You know, what what was Corey's reason for glazing the plabs? Like, he wanted to ride the plabs into an ICO of swan Bitcoin and right off into the sunset, making a bunch of money off the the the swans or sorry, the the plubs back.

16:21Richard Greaser And, that failed. And there's just really hasn't there's been like two companies that have kinda taken up the mantle of glazing the plums because I think the rest of the individuals just realized there wasn't a whole lot of money in it. It wasn't it just wasn't a really sound marketing strategy to to glaze the plebs.

16:46Richard Greaser No matter what, you couldn't appease them, But, you know, there's been two companies that have been successful at it. It's been, primarily successful. I'm sure there's others, but it's, Start Nine and Ocean Mining.

17:00Rod Palmer And,

17:03Richard Greaser and, you know, it it is clear as to why the Plebs have descended upon them to, you know, protect them at all cost. It's because they they are addicted to the glaze. You know, the the influencers Right.

17:22Richard Greaser There there's many influencers out there like Justin Betchler that pretend like they're not influencers. They're just like, oh, I'm just a humble pleb. But they sit there and they tweet all day trying to influence plebs, which therefore makes them an influence.

17:42Richard Greaser Yeah, the

17:43Rod Palmer what a lot of plebs, I mean, most of them, I think most, but many realized in the last bear market that the glaze was being subsidized by VCs and ultimately,

17:59Rod Palmer by low interest rates. I mean, the excess glaze of five years ago was a low interest rate phenomenon. It was a zerp phenomenon. And now the interest rates are up, we're back to reality. There's no subsidized glaze. You have to earn your glaze. You have to surpass the hurdle rate to to earn your glaze. And,

18:21Rod Palmer it's some companies, and StarKnight is a great example, they they made millions and millions of dollars, they did they got help from Shinobi, they got help from Kratter, they got help from this this known thing, but

18:38Rod Palmer and they got help promotion. But they they they they made millions of dollars selling nodes, selling CSAM resistant SpaceX nodes to Plebs. And I think that the excess glaze that they give to Plebs is that is being subsidized monot they're able to do with their free glaze flow

18:58Rod Palmer that they're making off their star nines, is that people buying a thousand dollar node on the sales pitch or the marketing that they are going to save Bitcoin and that they're going to like win this

19:14Rod Palmer this this Node client war because they've got the most up to date advanced nodes. When it it if Groupon 10 fails, then all these powerful start SpaceX nine, CSM resistant SpaceX nodes are gonna be worthless. They're gonna be abandoned and they're gonna be trading for a huge discount

19:38Rod Palmer on secondary markets. And, starting out is not gonna be able to afford to glaze these plebs anymore And the plebs are gonna turn on them like they turned on Corey and like they turned on everybody else. It used to be it used to give them glaze and then cut the glaze faucet off.

19:55Richard Greaser It's a it's an addiction. The the plebs are addicted to the glaze from the VC funded companies. And, when the VC money runs out at the end of the day, the plaids need their fix. And And who are they gonna get it from? And, you know, I think part of the first turn in

20:16Richard Greaser and where we're at right now is just the the glaze runs out. There's no more glaze for the Plebs, and and they're gonna have to deal with that. They're gonna have to get unhooked from the glaze one way or another.

20:30Rod Palmer Maybe The glaze eventually dries. The glaze eventually dries, and there is a glazed drought. It is coming.

20:38Richard Greaser And, you know, maybe all they have left at the end of the day is their their Grok AI sex bots robots to to to glaze them. I I think that's that's where we're trending, you know, at the moment. And in this scenario where that happens, you're not gonna have to worry about passing, policies with your HOA to restrict the pledge for moving in because they're gonna be stuck in their little apartments,

21:04Richard Greaser getting glazed by their AI robots, not coming out. You're just not gonna have to worry about them too much.

21:13Rod Palmer Well, it it it could be worse than that. But if they crash out or they become, no crew chat will take care of them. I mean, look at the streets of Philadelphia, the streets of San Francisco, Portland, Oregon, just about every major city, especially if it's warm or mild, weather. It's peep it is is plebs who crashed out and just live they've lived in a tent or a box

21:40Rod Palmer on the street corner. And they wake up every morning, and all they care about is getting their face their their next glaze. They just, what, whatever they gotta do, whatever dick they gotta suck, whatever store or, or car they gotta break into, to get enough money

22:00Rod Palmer to get that next glaze hit. And, they become zombies. And you start to see it, you start to see plebs who, you know, you know, we all know that we're gonna lose some good plebs in this conflict. But you see something that you just never thought was susceptible

22:18Rod Palmer to the plant slap, and you see them start to just go down the wrong go down the wrong rabbit hole, hang out in the wrong group chat so you see them start to break and you know you're gonna lose them to the club slot and there's nothing you could do to it. G to one, they're just zombies looking for delays.

22:37Richard Greaser It's, yep. I mean, you you've seen calls for this. You know, people are upset by how many clubs are on the street right now. It's a it's a crisis. They're doing the the the Fent they what do they call it? The Fent dance or whatever in Philadelphia?

22:57Rod Palmer The lean. It's like, they're, like, hunched over. And they were, like, standing up straight, but they were, like, totally zoned out. And yeah. It's happening. And the heartbreaking thing is

23:11Richard Greaser that you

23:12Rod Palmer have a veteran of, of of this of our war against, you know, separating money from stay HODL not. To see him out there, crashed out,

23:24Rod Palmer just a glazed zombie doing that Plebslok clean, it's it's really heartbreaking. It's really tough to see. A lot of people are having a hard time accepting HuddleNauts, you know, out on the streets addicted to Plevslaw.

23:38Richard Greaser It's just it it's like one of those things, like, you know, peep people are questioning right now. Right? Why they gave HuddleNaut money in defense of his lawsuit against Craig Wright if he was just going to squander it getting glazed and then end up on the street. Right? You you see you see a homeless pleb out on the streets. I I think almost universally, all of us have just gotten so fatigued at this point of giving homeless plebs any money

24:08Richard Greaser because they're you know they're just gonna run off and spend it on glaze immediately.

24:15Rod Palmer And and the problem is bad enough if you didn't have you know, like, in San Francisco, you got, like, the government stuff. They're giving them needles, giving them giving their face a glaze, and

24:32Rod Palmer you you don't wanna rely because like you don't wanna rely on the the state to enable you and to get your fix. Like, you don't wanna rely on influencers or these companies who are subsidized you've got subsidized glaze.

24:50Rod Palmer If you rely on them for your fix, for your whatever it is that makes you feel that satisfaction proposing podcasting, and being a part of the Bitcoin Twitter and your third

25:05Rod Palmer chats. If you can't get that on your own and you have to be a glazed simp. Yeah. No, it's a bad luck. It's it's this it's hard to recover from that. You know what I mean? Like, it's hard to ever have yourself taken a beat ever again.

25:21Richard Greaser Canada's taken a very different approach with dealing with the playoffs with the state run euthanasia. Say, oh, you're sad. You're not finding enough glaze out there anymore. You can go and get euthanized.

25:36Rod Palmer Do you think that that is the right policy? Should we euthanize plagues?

25:41Richard Greaser I don't know. I I mean, it it it's definitely a hard ethical question. Right? There there's this, you know, weird attitude towards like, I'm I'm

25:57Richard Greaser against suicide morally, but it's kinda one of those things, like, if you don't have the right to to end your own life, like, do you have any sort of self determination whatsoever? Right?

26:13Richard Greaser But the state the state getting involved in it is, I I think that, you know, when it comes to euthanasia, it should be there should be a free market solution to it, Right? It's the way I see it. But I just think it's strange that it's getting getting pushed. Like, I I think, you know, the society's attitude

26:36Richard Greaser around dealing with the problems of the plebs should be trying to encourage them and build them up into, you know, growing up a little bit and becoming pioneers and stepping out of it. Of like, okay. You're addicted to the glaze. Go through the withdrawals. Now get your shit together. Start, like, read out the shrugs, start smoking cigarettes, and and quit being a, you know, pussy that just repeats plebslop over and over and start thinking a little bit. But, yeah, I don't I don't think it's working out for Canada at all because they, you know, they they're getting mogged in the Olympics. They lost in hockey to both the men and the women.

27:11Richard Greaser They got their little, like what were those stuffed animals? Those weren't labooboos, were they? That they were handing out to the

27:19Rod Palmer Yeah. The, second place Canadian team all received, their own labooboos. And inside the labooboo was a chance to, basically

27:32Rod Palmer retire and get a get a meme coin this riffle out of money and move a silver medal. Silver is too expensive this year to make medals for everybody on the hockey.

27:45Richard Greaser I heard the Olympic their medals were breaking.

27:50Rod Palmer Their med the the medals were breaking half? Yeah. I did not hear that. That'd be a quite a scandal. It wouldn't surprise me. It is Europe.

28:04Richard Greaser I mean, it's just that you're you're kind of in the late stages of of fiat money. Like, they're gonna be cutting corners at any cost or at any way possible. Yeah. They got the tungsten filled, metals

28:19Rod Palmer coming out of China. This this is and this is this I think tying it back is that the thing about it for Canada, The United States was just gesture maxing. And it was it would be the funniest thing possible would be to beat Canada in hockey in the Olympics. So they were Jester Maxxing and they won, and the Canadians is all they've got. All they've got is hockey. That's the only thing that bring that's the last thing Canada has

28:49Rod Palmer to be proud about, is having the best hockey team in the Olympics. And, they lost. They lost the thing that that was supposed to be their thing. And this is the future, this is the, that I see coming for the Plebs, is the one thing that they've got that they think that their node matters. To find out

29:13Rod Palmer that it's not that simple. And that a more a better financed, better capitalized, more organized, more, you know, just more skin more economic note

29:28Rod Palmer can just be jester maxing and still beat you on the what it matters most at the thing that's supposed to be yours. It's gonna be it's gonna be tough to come to reality for a lot of Canadian blips.

29:47Richard Greaser I mean, you you see it right now. Like, you got BTC sessions just, wanting so desperately, you know, for Alberta to succeed. They I don't I don't really know what what is gonna happen for the I mean, the the Canadians

30:06Richard Greaser have it so rough right now, like sessions, for example. Like, Plebslop view count is hitting all time lows. Like, the the there there's only one way to get the Plebs engagement right now, and it is to support

30:25Richard Greaser BIP one ten. But in doing so, it's like a humiliation ritual where you just flag to to everybody out there that you're a complete retard. And so they're calling this between this rock and the hard place of, you know, what do you do? The only the only solution at this point is pivot to AI.

30:49Richard Greaser That's the only thing that you can do. Can you see that? That's

30:53Rod Palmer the only place left where you get subsidized Glaze, is AI. The AI, VCs, the government, they're still subsidizing Glaze there. And some these guys have to go where the subsidized glaze is. And it's sad. It's it's terrible to see it.

31:13Rod Palmer But BGC sessions, I think that's a good example because it's if if even guys like BGC Sessions have to make that decision, think about

31:31Rod Palmer think about Joey and Len. Think about Boomer. Think about Remnant Norman and all the other in in in Moose, Naval Co or Maple Bitcoin. The Moose guy that had his best days in the during the

31:48Rod Palmer the trucker rally. It's think about those guys. They're they're all following American politics and they want to be part of America. They think it's a quick solution Because it's tough, I mean, they're one place you never thought would go below a 100 k ever again was Canada, but even they've dropped below a 100 k. It's a tough bear market.

32:12Richard Greaser Is The US gonna beat Canada back to 100 ks this time? At this rate.

32:20Rod Palmer And if we're beating him in hockey in the Olympics for the first time in like fifty years,

32:26Richard Greaser it's tough it's tough. Canada has just been absolutely disgraced this week. They're getting frame mogged by everybody. People are calling them China. They're like, you you have no self determination whatsoever. You're just a province of of China.

32:46Rod Palmer Now that they lost the the Olympics, the, people didn't make it final and saying there's there's too many cheats in Canada. And they're showing, like, pictures of, Indian people crying when you ask them about, the Olympics.

33:04Rod Palmer That's a tough one too. I mean, the people that they've given first class role in society to don't even care that they got gesture matched all over by The United States, and they lost their gold medal in hockey. They didn't even watch it. It's like, hey. Did you catch the game yesterday? And the and they have.

33:27Richard Greaser Yep. So, do you think we're near a bottom of the Bitcoin price? What are you feeling about that?

33:38Rod Palmer I don't know about the price. That's right. The one thing that I thought we were at the bottom for that we're not was, the the previous market for BIF one ten, and prediction markets in general. We were at 2% the other day, and I thought, and it's probably trending to zero, but the the the BIF one ten for use market's gone lower. It is now then as low as 1%.

34:08Rod Palmer New lows. Why do you think that is Yeah. You've been following this prediction market shit?

34:14Richard Greaser Well, I've been following it closely. I've been a huge fan of, prediction markets. I I couldn't I got real excited when, predex launched because I was like, okay. Finally, a a prediction market that I can use because I'm not I I I never figured out how to use stable coins.

34:35Rod Palmer So Right. Never been a big Tether guy.

34:38Richard Greaser Never been a big Tether guy. Never been a big USDC guy. So I could never figure out PolyMarket. I didn't even wanna ask my wife to figure it out for me. I mean, that's how uninterested I was in it. And, yeah. No. It it's been cool being on. It's just it it's probably, like, the

35:00Richard Greaser the easiest setup. But, yeah, I've been I've been following it. There there's you know, I've been trying to to get the Nazis. It's like, you guys are out there bitching and moaning about all the shit. Go put some money down on a prediction market, and they all they all refuse to over and over again. They're like, oh, we don't gamble.

35:23Richard Greaser It's like, well, what what do you call I I I just don't really see the difference between putting, 10 USDT worth of Bitcoin on predicts for your BIP one ten, prediction market and, spending all your time bitching and moaning about how, you know, everybody's attacking Bitcoin except for you.

35:46Richard Greaser Like, isn't the use of your time, isn't that, like, in a sense of form of, gambling of your determining at least in this when when you are predicting things that are incredibly uncertain to put all your energy on, it's like if you if you know that BIP one ten is not gonna be successful, then why are you spending all your time bitching and trying to promote it? Right? Like, why would you spend all your time just

36:18Richard Greaser promoting a losing battle? So they they obviously must think that there's some chance that it's gonna be successful or I think they think that. It's like if you think you think that, then why not make a bunch of money on a prediction market?

36:37Richard Greaser You know, you you have enough conviction and and and thought to put all this time and energy into promoting these things and and calling people scammers and, you know, accusing people of being promoters of CSAM or whatever, then why not make some money doing it besides, you know, I think there's, like, individuals like Justin Belcher and, you know, others that, like, Adam Smacka even like, they're they're all excited to get their their Twitter ad revenue

37:12Richard Greaser right by, you know, posting memes or whatever, talking about how terrible Dave Bailey is. But if, like, if you wanna make some revenue, then why don't you make revenue be by being right instead of

37:29Rod Palmer Well, they have so much they have so many flip slop excuses for, oh, it's gambling. Well, first of all, it's never gambling when you bet on Bitcoin. So write that down. Second,

37:45Rod Palmer it's not gambling, you know the odds, like if if you are if you if you say that you have a 100% certainty or 99.9% certainty that this is going to activate And you see a prediction market and the odds, it's the reverse where it's

38:03Rod Palmer you can pay 1¢ to win 99 by taking this prediction. That's not gambling, it's not a random outcome. That is this is what you believe to be a certainty. You are using inside information. It's not illegal. It's

38:22Rod Palmer and if you believe, like many of them say, that this is market manipulation by CORE, then that it's going to succeed. Well, that should make your your prediction even more of a sure thing of a righteous thing. You were you were punishing the scammers who were paying 99¢ to earn 1¢ on their USDT.

38:49Rod Palmer This is this is a rational decision. It's a rational trade. It's a rational prediction. It's a rational thing to do. It is the smart thing to do. It is the righteous thing to do. It is the moral thing to do. And they still won't do it. And my I I I think it's pretty simple. It's not because this isn't about the money. It's about sending a message. It's about this is a virtue signaling campaign. This is and it it is about the money. It's not about the money that they claim to care most about to be maximalist,

39:23Rod Palmer that because Bitcoin is money. This is to earn Elon's, you know, Tether payments by getting, by farming reactions from the plebs, by misleading the plebs. This is this whole campaign is not about money. If it was about money, there would be no hesitancy

39:42Rod Palmer from them when it comes to making their predictions on this, futures market. So it's lack of conviction and lack of just like this isn't what it's about. It's not about making it's not about money for them. Them. I'm put I'm buying more

39:56Richard Greaser more shares. Wait. No. I'm not. Looks like BTC Sessions bet no on the prediction market.

40:04Rod Palmer And at least he's at least at least you can tell where he stands when it comes to putting his money, where his top slot is, where his open mouth thumbnails are. Put your put your money where your open mouth thumbnails are by betting in perdition.

40:21Richard Greaser Well, you know, I I've got some friends. They they believe that there should be a resurgence of bullying. Right? That bullying is a healthy activity. And it it it seems like, you know, the plaids,

40:42Richard Greaser to give them credit, they they seem to be engaging in in bullying tactics and trying to bring it back. Right? Is

40:52Rod Palmer that Yeah. They hate it when it is turned upon them. They're very sensitive to being bullied, especially by influencers, But they do like to bully them, so they do like to bully. I mean, they they love piling on Dan Held, Odell, Wop,

41:12Rod Palmer Gloria. They love, bullying Gloria.

41:16Richard Greaser Thinking yeah. I mean, they're they're gonna have a rude awakening when all the the influencers and podcasters decide to bully the plums. They're just I think people are getting tired of glazing them. There's just no there's no benefit at this point. Like, you know, if if you're a content creator,

41:40Richard Greaser you can you can pump your numbers on these social platforms with cloud bots. Like, you don't even need the plugs anymore. The cloud bots are are low maintenance. Right?

41:50Rod Palmer Much cheaper than glazing plugs.

41:55Richard Greaser The the Klompots don't they don't hit you with purity tests. They don't just unpredictably freak out at you over, you know, some minute thing.

42:06Rod Palmer Claude, it Plebs bots do not they're Plebs are like pit bulls. Plebs can just turn on you in any moment. You lash on, and, you know, it once the Plebs jaw walks on around your neck, like they don't let go. Once a pleb smells blood, a pleb tries to finish you. The pleb box don't do this toplots, and much more predictable, they don't crash out. Well, that's the thing. The plug lots do crash out, but they are getting better. In six months, the plug plots,

42:40Rod Palmer they won't crash out anymore. They'll be more reliable and, more cost effective than glazing plebs, for sure.

42:50Richard Greaser It's gonna be interesting to see what, where prediction markets go.

42:56Rod Palmer Now, there's gonna be I can tell you where they're gonna go in the short term. Their prediction markets are going to be a foundation of, maxi madness this year.

43:11Rod Palmer There's gonna be a lot of there's gonna be plain prediction markets around maxi madness that you'll be able to participate in and have fun in and learn about how how these markets work and how you keep that. Because they're gonna continue to be more relevant for a lot of reasons which we're gonna have to get into eventually. But they're gonna be really risky, especially because it's not illegal to insider trade.

43:32Rod Palmer But that's the point, right? They get you the insider traders are what make the prediction markets valuable in some cases, in many cases.

43:47Richard Greaser Man, the OG plaids are coming out left and right against BIP one ten right now. They got pirate beach bum comparing the BIP one ten and the handle to, the Ukraine flag. It's wild. They're fed up they're fed up with these guys. I got this week's gonna be funny. I I'm gonna have a good time. I'm gonna have a lot of chuckles this week, chuckling at the expensive plebs,

44:16Richard Greaser left and right. They're gonna they're gonna have a roughness this week. There's gonna be the next OG pleb to come out

44:22Rod Palmer against Biff One tenth.

44:26Richard Greaser Well, you got you got mister Huddl's been against it, like, the whole time. You've got, Pirate Beach Bum. You got, Dieter. I don't know where Kornikaras stands.

44:40Rod Palmer Kornikaras is against it, I think.

44:44Richard Greaser I mean, just just wait till simply Bitcoin decides that they're against BIT one ten. I feel like that's coming.

44:53Rod Palmer They might have to, like, let a sponsorship or two roll off and, before they come out. But if they do, the the cope on the timeline, the wreaths will be heard around the world.

45:11Richard Greaser Yeah, well, I'm excited about Maxi Madness. We're, a few weeks out from that. What's the official start date, March 19?

45:24Rod Palmer Yeah. Selection selection Monday is what it will be this year. So, the brackets will be released on March sixteenth, Monday, March sixteenth. And this year, there will be a couple

45:38Rod Palmer of play in games to decide who makes the final 64 for Maxi Madness two thousand twenty six. And those will be those will be fine. Those will be a great way, if you're new to Maxi Madness, to, to get involved for the whole timeline is paying attention before the the

46:01Rod Palmer the, the bracket threads get posted on Thursday, the twentieth. On Monday on Wednesday, there will be the play in, games for the tournament, some do not miss those.

46:15Richard Greaser How do you it it this is an event that's so hard to anticipate. What's gonna happen? I think last year, we were all shocked. The first year I think we were all shocked by the results of it.

46:35Rod Palmer Everything all the rules go out the window. Everything you thought you knew about Bitcoin maximalism, Bitcoin max, use Bitcoin Twitter,

46:46Rod Palmer goes out the window. There's no rules. Maxi Madness is the ultimate opportunity for cheap place. And when when the thing about

47:01Rod Palmer Gaza, somebody showed up with some some lunch box, you know, some catered lunches, people flooded to those trucks. People in they used were supposed to be fighting for their citizens, but just just run them over

47:20Rod Palmer with their with with their Toyota trucks to get to the food. This is what the influencers do. Maxi Madness is the state of nature. And they're all fighting for glaze. They're all fighting for spotlight. They're all fighting to win.

47:37Rod Palmer And when people when the results do not go, how you how many people expected they should, well, it is the drama kicks into high gear.

47:49Richard Greaser I feel that this year is gonna be contentious. And last year, it kinda seemed like it was, paper Bitcoiners against Bitcoiners. Like, that was the and and the paper Bitcoiners came out victorious, which led into paper Bitcoin summer and then collapsed into paper Bitcoin fall and winter.

48:11Richard Greaser It's been brutal. This this year, it doesn't seem like paper Bitcoin's really on the agenda at all. It seems pretty dead to me, but it does seem like it's kind of a a core versus nots theme. And is this is Maxi Madness this year gonna be the way that Bitcoin protocol decisions there's a consensus that's formed.

48:37Rod Palmer Yes. We're going to learn the value of a pledge vote. The the value of the value of a Plebs voter and the value of a Plebs vote. Everybody has a vote. One note, the note, my note, my vote. We're gonna find out how how important those really are.

49:02Richard Greaser Is there any way that we could restrict Plebs votes in Maxi Madness to three fifths of a vote?

49:10Rod Palmer My proposal, and this is will have to be determined by the Maxi Madness Committee. But I think that a vote from a a Plebron Noster should count as three fifths of a vote, to the overall tournament.

49:29Rod Palmer Now, if you vote on X on Twitter, that's, you know, one vote, one vote. But if you're an ostrichlet, we will count your votes in the tournament as three fifths.

49:38Richard Greaser We're gonna be teasing out little bits of information as we get closer to the event, folks. But brace yourselves, prepare, get excited. This is going to be the biggest Maxi Madness ever.

49:57Rod Palmer It's gonna be one for the ages. We're gonna have we're gonna have a great prize for the winner of the bracket challenge this year, so stay tuned for that announcement. And, I'd stay tuned for a lot of If you are a fan of Maxi Madness, Maxi Madness content, Timmy Tether's coming back, it's there's gonna be a lot of coverage and just it's gonna be better than ever before. It's gonna be so much fun. If you have if you wanna talk about or see anything else on the timeline, that week,

50:29Rod Palmer I I good luck. It's it's gonna be tough. I'm not gonna go out and touch grass. Hopefully, it's nice nice weather that week wherever you are. Well,

50:39Richard Greaser you got any announcements before we move into the Fallon booth?

50:44Rod Palmer No announcements for me. We but we're all we're gonna be switching up a little bit of, what we do instead of the interviews on Wednesdays. There hasn't been a whole lot of those lately anyways, but we're gonna be bringing some new,

51:00Rod Palmer avenues of content and that is going to be geared for our subscribers. So, if you want to get a second dose of Google Weekly type content, it's gonna be a little different, maybe a little bit more non compliant. That will be exclusively for subscribers.

51:23Richard Greaser Yeah. We're playing around with ideas for that. I do have an announcement. So I I think it's been mostly confirmed at this point, but, I wanna be in Serbia in June for a

51:40Richard Greaser music festival called Revolution Rocks. And I think I'm gonna be DJing at it. It's a tunester event with, Scardust headlining it. So put that on your calendar if you're interested in going. I know Serbia is probably a long hike for a lot of people, but it's gonna be cool. Skardust is gonna be playing. You're gonna have

52:05Richard Greaser a band called the Higher Low, Joe Martin, Longy, Roger nine thousand, one that I can't say

52:16Richard Greaser for sure, but sounds pretty, confirmed. And then me, I guess. Maybe. But that'll be cool. It'll be a Teamster value for value,

52:31Richard Greaser music festival. I don't think I've I guess they've they've kinda done stuff like this, but I don't think anything of this caliber or as big as this. And then, I'm working I'm still working on the hero series. I, I'm trying to create a couple songs

52:54Richard Greaser for the next episode, but I pretty much have everything outlined. And that'll be coming out to you guys here pretty soon. If you have not checked out the last one yet, the the my episode on villains, make sure to check that one out. And, still cranking away on the, on the album. I've been having fun with that. I've been working on music video,

53:21Richard Greaser this week, so look out for that coming out this next week. And, I think I saw the announcements I have. Hopefully. Hopefully, I'm not forgetting anything. Working on some stuff for Vegas. But, yeah,

53:41Richard Greaser here's something exciting. I got really excited when I saw this earlier. Our first boost from Orange Mart for 5,000 sats says, a bear market of boost not on our watch. Orange Mart, we have missed you. Hope you're doing well. Tell tip n z, I miss her. I don't know where she's been. Hope she comes back.

54:06Rod Palmer Thanks. Last time you were just maxing at Orange Mart.

54:10Richard Greaser Did you ask when's the last time? Yeah. It's been a while. Yeah.

54:16Rod Palmer Just a bunch if you don't know what Orange Mart is, you need to go check it out. It's, you could probably play Orange Mart with your Claude bot. You and your Claude bot will start naked together at Just Your Max in in the Orange Mart world. It's, on a on a Rust server.

54:38Rod Palmer Yeah. It's a it's a cool game. You can listen to the bugle at the Orange Mart. Glad to see those guys back. Next boost, 1999¢ from Sasha Hodder. Great show. Thank you. Thank you, Sasha.

54:54Rod Palmer And Sasha's got a, she's got like a race going on in Vegas, during the, the Bitcoin conference at the end of April. So, if you like running in the desert heat,

55:09Rod Palmer look for the the sunset sergeants special, special race, the the best of the defining event for the, you know, for people who like, like, a little extra physical challenge, you're not just stuffing your face with free swag and free glaze at the conference.

55:31Richard Greaser It'll be fun. You gonna run-in the race?

55:35Rod Palmer I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. It's, I gotta get into Jay.

55:42Richard Greaser I'm gonna run-in the race, most likely. Next boost from Zorda, 921 sats. I think this is a first time boost. I purchased the mega saver pack from the left behind supply company, and I couldn't be more pleased. While I'm I'm I'm assured

55:59Richard Greaser of personal salvation, what about my friends and family that chose the wrong faith or denomination? The pack includes thoughts and prayers cards that you can personalize for those left behind while you are in the eternal bliss. I opted for a mega pack as it also comes with a beautifully designed

56:20Richard Greaser ArmaChrys four barrel 20 gauge shotgun with the capacity to carry 24 shells. Truly amazing product and soul saving service. That's cool that they have that,

56:36Richard Greaser like, you can buy packs for other people that are left behind, if you're not left behind. That's pretty useful.

56:43Rod Palmer Thankfully hopefully, Luke will buy a, c plus plus, coding pack for all the the nociceplants who were left behind after the rapture,

56:58Rod Palmer so they can continue to maintain the project. Because that's, we gotta talk about that in future episodes because that's a real risk to the network. A lot of the clients think they're going to heaven when they've done us, but, you know, they won't put they won't put their money on it in the predation market. So we don't know if they really do, you know, the odds are.

57:20Richard Greaser We we all know that, all the devs that that get taken in the rapture, the the ones that are left, they're gonna wanna change Bitcoin into being written in Rust. Like, that's gonna be their first order of business.

57:33Rod Palmer Yeah. Nice. Nice, commented on one of our posts, but you need to be thinking about a rapture, resistant, you know, soft fork upgrade to Bitcoin or or to Nas at least.

57:50Richard Greaser So you you think that the transition to being written and everything being written in Rust should happen pre Rapture? Like, that's what the software should be?

57:60Rod Palmer Well, I think if well, I don't know. We we should ask Hunter Beast, I guess, that question. He's the heir. They've been 555

58:12Rod Palmer sats from nope. Fuck the fight, salute emoji. Fuck the fight, nope. Don't be don't don't give in to, you know, the crashing out floods. They're spreading their fudge. It's a lot of fun going around.

58:29Richard Greaser I agree. The the fudge has been so intense, and it's it's been funny to watch how there there's a lot of hardened veterans that have been interested in Bitcoin for a while that are completely shaken. It is truly unique times. It's just a it

58:48Richard Greaser it the first turning vibes are very different than the fourth turning. People are just catching their bearings. They've they've been fourth turning Bitcoiners for a while. Shanrack, '3 100 '23 says, prepper insurance is finally here. Prepare to be prepared. 40 HPW. That's right. That was a good sponsor. Seems like people like it. Maybe we should bring it back.

59:11Rod Palmer Yeah. I know I know she had her actually prepared. Jetdirect's definitely a pioneer in that first churning. $2.37 SaaS. Thank you gentlemen, from Godstaff. Thank you Godstaff.

59:24Richard Greaser Doctor. Gang, 111 SaaS says, It's white girl winter.

59:30Rod Palmer White girl winter. DTC onboard, 100 Sats, three thumbs up. DTC onboard, 100 Sats, two thumbs up. You know, it seems like it's it. That was first that was the first

59:44Rod Palmer episode in a while where you didn't have a boost from Bubba or, Pies.

59:50Richard Greaser I don't think Pies has been boosted for a while.

59:53Rod Palmer Do we lose Pies to Fluff Slop?

59:55Richard Greaser I think we lost yeah. I don't know what we lost pies to.

1:00:01Rod Palmer We've lost pies. Did we lose pies to did he get deported by ICE?

1:00:07Richard Greaser Oh, that's maybe that's what's happening is our boosters are getting deported.

1:00:17Rod Palmer If you if you if you used to boost this podcast and you've been deported and that's why you haven't been boosting, Reach out to us, through

1:00:26Richard Greaser Monero chat if you have to. Give all of us let us know what's going on. Well, I don't know why you would stop boosting if even if you got deported because Bitcoin is, borderless money. You should still be boosted. They might have

1:00:39Rod Palmer got they might have got deported to, to a country that, doesn't have Strike or CVD.

1:00:48Richard Greaser Well, there's there's ways around that.

1:00:53Rod Palmer Yeah. But some of those some of similar are the scenarios are bleps, you know, and they don't know how to get around it. What are what are like Barnminder and they they don't bother.

1:01:04Richard Greaser Barn BarnMiner sent me a boost, but he didn't send me a message. He said BarnMiner has been sending me the most unusual boost.

1:01:13Rod Palmer Yeah. It sounds like BarnMiner.

1:01:16Richard Greaser This is pretty awesome, actually. Like, I I enjoyed this. We we got some, cheese blocks from Auggie, Alex Satoshi. We we've gotten some unusual boost. Barweiner, sometimes he says to be non compliant boost and I don't wanna explain what that is. Yeah.

1:01:39Richard Greaser Anyways, you got anything before we wrap this one up? Up?

1:01:44Rod Palmer Never mind. Don't rush out.

1:01:48Richard Greaser Thanks for listening, folks. We'll catch you on the next one.

1:02:23Rod Palmer Forces of evil are daunting and scary. Temptations of submission will make anyone wary. What we are witnessing is a battle for perception. All they have is dishonesty and deception. They want There is no way to control a population that is ungovernable. People are dangerous when they choose dignity over being comfortable. When you realize how much there is to lose,

1:02:51Rod Palmer all you can do is stand your clout and refuse. All around us are people with brains dissatisfied with settling for living in chains. Inside them is a primal hunger for something more than settling for compliance and being a whore. When things become difficult, do you wanna cower and hide? Or will you embrace adversity and take it in stride? To die with dignity, it's preferable to being a slave. History There is no easy path forward whether you comply or defy. In the end, no matter what, we all will die.

1:03:38Rod Palmer Between now and then are lots of decisions. Means and information are the most dangerous munitions. All around us are people with brains dissatisfied with settling for living in change.

1:04:29Rod Palmer Inside them is a primal hunger for something more than settling for compliance and being a whore. When things become difficult, do you wanna cower and hide? Or will you embrace adversity

1:04:56Kailey Welch healing in a world that is chaotic. Our pain has purpose, allowing us to be more than robotic. So tune into the bugle to fortify your mind and boost us with Bitcoin if our values are aligned. If you're listening out there, know you aren't alone. Join as we travel bravely into the unknown.
