Transcript: The Dawn Of The 1st Turning | Bugle Weekly Episode 93
0:00Richard Greaser Everyone is walking around yelling fourth turning, fourth turning, like it's Beetlejuice. Like if they say it three times, the power grid shuts off and they finally feel important. Nah. You're late. The fourth turning already happened, and you were in it. You survived it. You just didn't notice because you were arguing about spam and crashing out in group chats. That was the pandemic. That was the riots. The Ukraine flag in bio. That was every institution melting down while telling you to trust the science. That was the moment when nobody knew what was real, nobody was in charge, and everyone had a podcast. That's the fourth turning. It came, it screamed, it soiled itself, and it left. Now we're in the first turning, and people hate that because it means structure is back. Reality is back. Consequences are back. The vibes are no longer collapse core. The vibes are build or get out of the way. And that terrifies people whose entire personality was living at the end of the world. But it's over. A new baby boom is starting because people finally realized you cannot build a civilization on SSRIs, SSRIs, gender discourse, and DoorDash. You need families. You need kids. You need someone to inherit the mess and make it better. That's the first turning. Optimism sneaking back in whether you like it or not. And Bitcoin, Bitcoin already won. It didn't win on CNBC.
1:16Richard Greaser It didn't win in Congress. It won quietly, the way real things win, by becoming unavoidable. The argument is finished. The only people still debating Bitcoin are the same people still debating seed oils. They're standing in line at Sweetgreen explaining context while history moves on without them. If you're still living like it's the fourth turning, stockpiling freeze dried chili, posting about imminent collapse, screaming about fascism at a self checkout machine, you're going to be left behind. Your world view expired. Your apocalypse fantasy didn't pan out, and now you're mad because the reset happened without asking your permission. This is the first turning. Order, growth, babies, building, boring competence. Pioneers are building the foundation for the next century with clod code, telegram group chats, and the freedom to say slurs at politicians.
2:04Richard Greaser And, yes, some people will miss the chaos. Some people love the chaos. But history doesn't care about your aesthetic. It cares about who adapts. Keep doom posting if you want. The rest of us are moving on. Over the past few weeks,
2:16Rod Palmer engagement on social media has been down significantly for many creators. The algo overlords have decided that they are going to curb Club's Law. Certain ideas have been inflated
2:30Rod Palmer while others are being suppressed. What is clear is that the rules of the game have changed, and people are crashing out left to right in protest. Bitcoin users are crying that Twitter is killing their community. They claim their posts are being shadow banned and that it is unfair. In a time of significant financial hardship for the world and turmoil, they're crying that the pedophilic ruling class is suppressing their lukewarm dissident ideas.
2:59Rod Palmer Some claim Nostra fixes this. Some claim that Bitcoin Twitter is dead and you should give up. But I'm sitting here questioning if limiting likes on social media platforms is enough to completely demoralize you and convince you to give up. Did you really ever understand what was actually going on? What is being exposed is how naive individuals are to the mechanisms of information warfare, the manufacturing
3:27Rod Palmer of public perception, and just how controlled the information channels are but also have always been. None of this is new folks. The people with high time preference always get wrecked but the people who put their heads down, think carefully about what they do and focus on their craft will come out ahead in the long run. The question is not how to game the algos,
3:51Rod Palmer how to convince the NPCs to be less retarded, or to beg the pedophilic ruling class to like your ideas. The question is how do you do what brings you purpose in life and how to engage with others that encourage that process? The Trump administration
4:11Rod Palmer is full of a bunch of retards who don't care about you. Simply for them is as retarded as posting open mouth thumbnails, thinking that you're convincing the NPCs to be less brain dead. What individuals need right now are compelling stories. Stories that will inspire them and part of telling compelling stories is about living a compelling story. The bankers and tech oligarchs who
4:36Rod Palmer are really pulling the strings of power aren't your friends and never will be. You can cry all you want about how things are unfair, but you will change nothing in that process. The struggle you feel right now is the best thing you could ever experience. It challenges you to be better, to think and to build. So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna keep on crying or are you going to reassess your strategy and seek to offer something of value?
5:01Richard Greaser It's a really good question. It's a really data opening question, that a lot of people are asking themselves, but let's go back to the beginning right the the suppression the algorithms spread. So,
5:17Richard Greaser right now the deep state, the bankers, nation states, they are and they have been. They've been suppressing the Bitcoin price. They have been keeping it down. They've been, you know, shorting MicroStrategy. They've been shorting Bitcoin. They're wiping out
5:39Richard Greaser liquidated long they've been liquidating long positions every time they bill. Every time people get bullish, these forces they suppress and liquidate. And so now they're doing it, people are saying, right, to the algorithm. You see, the information warfare is not they're not just suppressing the price. Now they're suppressing the algorithm. Is that is that the the mood right now? Is that where you're kind of, getting to?
6:03Rod Palmer Well, I think people think that they're being suppressed, but it's just the dynamics of what
6:09Richard Greaser is promoting Do you think the price is being suppressed? Is it the same forces? Do you think it's the same or do people think it's the same, that they're related? That the price is being manipulated, and so is the algorithm now?
6:24Rod Palmer Yeah. I think they're a lot of people think that they're connected.
6:28Richard Greaser Okay. How you and so you say, like, on the algorithm side, we gotta add value, we gotta challenge ourselves, and and to and to move on, like, to transcend this conversational barrier. How do we solve this? How what how does that translate for the price? How do we get them to stop manipulating the price? Is this about
6:50Richard Greaser doubling our DCA? Do we have to be more bullish? Do we have to buy more paper Bitcoin? How do we overcome the manipulation on the price side? Are we have we don't have people thinking about that? Is it just Michael Sailor? Is it just Michael Sailor by himself? Trying to keep the Bitcoin price up? Is it did everybody stop buying?
7:08Rod Palmer Well, I think people should be posting more Lynn Alden memes. That that is, probably one of the more effective ways of, you know, because it like, the problem is there's a lot of wealthy individuals out there. Right? And Podkoff has married themselves to a bunch of retards like the Cardone brothers to be the representatives to these wealthy individuals that, you know, might not
7:33Rod Palmer necessarily be a part of, you know, suppressing the price, but they're they're just not buying because they're just not interested because, you know, kind of the lower, you know, middle class
7:47Rod Palmer directed Plebslop just isn't as compelling to them. And then you got individuals like Mike Alfred and the Cardones running around talking about Bitcoin. You know, Gary Gary Cardone's out there today talking about the, you you know, the reason why the price is being suppressed be because people are talking about how you shouldn't buy paper Bitcoin and you should sell custody and, and there's, like, a cult. You know, he he's completely retarded, but, like, you know, there just there needs to be better representatives. And I think Lynn Alden is one of the best ones. So I think it's, you know, you wanna deal with the with the price suppression. You you gotta look at
8:28Rod Palmer who Podkom's promoting, and you just can't you can't rely on Podkom to try and pump the price. It's like everything that Podkom has attempted to do in price pumping, you know, with David Bailey marrying himself to the Trump administration, you know, all the all the shit. Like, it's it's actually had
8:47Rod Palmer a negative impact on price. So, you know, they're they're completely useless. And so it's up to, you know, the the lower tier, mid tier podcasters to pick up the the pieces of where PodCon has, you know, really let go
9:06Richard Greaser or or failed us on that front. You you just had to be better than Mike Alfred, but think of that as your your barrier. All I have to do, if my podcast, if I start a podcast, or if I go into to double my efforts to contribute to Bitcoin, the cultures, you know, all of it to pitching it to people, to no coiners. All you have to do is be better than Mike Alfred, and use that as your inspiration or all you have to do is be better than Gary Cardone. If you think you can do that, you should try. Now back to the algorithm side, I think you're right. Like, the this reset, this challenge to yourself to be more relevant and to add more value is
9:47Richard Greaser is you have to start somewhere, but I think most people need to start. I I wanna your opinion on this, if you if you drove away, like, if you lost friends and family because you we're just not talking about pep slot, and they're like, oh, I don't wanna listen to pep slot anymore. So you and you maybe you got banned from group chats, maybe maybe your girlfriend prefers AI slot over your podcast.
10:11Richard Greaser Maybe that's a situation you run into. Before has you blamed the algorithm? Think about think about that. Think about, am I getting kicked out of all these group chats? And is that is is my contribution to this the timeline, the culture, the industry to Bitcoin? Like, is this
10:33Richard Greaser is the is the algorithm punishing me or is it, you know, am I am I just not that interesting? Am I people are not one people don't wanna listen to what I have to say. And there's plenty of cleft slop out there. We don't need more cleft slop. So if all you have right now is clutch the flex slop has to at least be better than Mike Alfred. It has to be better than Pete Rizzo. It has to be better than simply Bitcoin. It has to be better. And if you don't have better clutch slop, maybe the algorithm, immediate algorithm is still part of the equation,
11:09Richard Greaser right, I think you've I think there's other things that are bigger obstacle than the algorithm.
11:18Rod Palmer Yeah. You know, there there's been a lot of people that have really been showing and building out a road map for people that are not benefited by the algorithm for a long time. And there there have been people that have ran incredibly successful media organizations having been kicked off a lot of these platforms at different different points.
11:41Rod Palmer And, you know, a huge part of it is just, you know, being interesting and and having compelling information. And, like, this is something, you know, the Plebsloppers don't like to do is the, you know, the primary reason why they like the Plebslop is because they they don't like to actually, you know, put a ton of, like, time and effort into things that they do. They have very, you know, high time preference content strategies. They're not gonna be like Whitney Webb and, for all elites and, you know, put up
12:13Rod Palmer yarn all over their walls, connecting dots all over the place, you know, for hours and hours and hours and and reading countless boring, you know, articles. And it's like, you know, Whitney's done really good for herself. She she's defeated the, the algos in a lot of ways by doing that. You know? And people like, the podcasters find her interesting. Like, what she has done is she has created
12:40Rod Palmer Alpha, and and Lola is the same way. March the same way. Like, the reason why they go on all these podcasts all the time is because anything interesting that the the podcasters have to say, they get it from reading their articles. Like, that's that's how they get it.
12:59Richard Greaser This is why, like you said, Whitney, this is why Lynn Alden is invited on so many podcasts. Right? Because not just because she's hot, it's because she provides value to podcasters. If you provide value to podcasters, they will invite you on their podcast. If you're upset that you're not being invited on podcast,
13:21Richard Greaser think about the value you add to podcast. Do you have a unique, well researched, well articulated thesis? Do you have a have you game theorized the implications
13:36Richard Greaser of your idea? Or is it just half baked club slot? Should you go get the same alpha quote unquote or the same pieces of observations from somebody with hot AI muscles like the PTC sessions. He's gonna drive more value to my podcast talking about the same things. Why should I have you on? Why should I have Lynn all the time? Because she's gonna have some new macro analysis that makes a lot of money for her. She writes a a newsletter. You know, Mike Brock is complaining about not being invited
14:11Richard Greaser on, people's podcasts. He thinks that he's being suppressed by the algorithm. He Mike Brock claims that he's been banned from the for Utah because all of his friends and followers who, he's interacting with over the years, you know, aren't interacting with his post. They say they can't even see them when he writes them an essay to ask them why they haven't retweeted his, one of his posts. And this he he got on this mic with Peter McCormick. He wants to debate Peter McCormick. Peter said, no. I'm not interested. Leave me alone. Because he Mike Rock adds no value to Peter McCormick's podcast. He does he provides no value to Danny,
14:46Richard Greaser Knowles' podcast. He provides no value to Senator Deongleman's BTC Matrix podcast. He provides no value to, Rock Paper Bitcoin or the or the ungovernable misfits. So that's why he's not being invited. You can get Trump's arrangement syndrome and screeching nonsense from a hot liberal you know, Karen mom in Minnesota. She's gonna have this bit the same information that Mike Brox had but she's at least she's hot she's a little like she's, withered away on Ozempic.
15:14Richard Greaser So, it's it's you have to think about it from that sense too. And I think what is, in my opinion, cause of this bifurcation and or in this cognitive dissonance
15:30Richard Greaser is that people must understand this is the first turning. We're in the first turning now, not the fourth turning. The fourth the fourth we have heard enough about how bad inflation is, how we the US dollar is, how much it's debased, how how we've seen enough means to know that how much a dollar is worth today versus a silver coin made with real silver from 1965.
15:56Richard Greaser We have we have seen enough means about the value of gold and hard money versus fiat currency. We know. We know. That's the hashtag. We know. We know that the budget and the growth in the in in government spending is unsustainable. We know. We know that World War three is about to begin. We know. We know you're monitoring the situation because the the global war and and the tariffs and the the next black swan is right around we know.
16:25Richard Greaser Okay? But just look at the look at the Democratic party. Once the most powerful political establishment institution,
16:36Richard Greaser If you take the, you know, in the world, the the superpower, they control the courts, the law, everything. And now they've been reduced when by Trump. I mean, Trump is so slap slap. If you think of Donald Trump as as as the the the the final, boss of Plebslop, the Democratic party is losing to Plebslop. If you feel like you are losing to Plebslop, look at the Democratic party because they don't have good ideas or new solutions or even any solutions.
17:06Richard Greaser So nobody wants to have them on a podcast. Nobody wants to listen to them. At least the people who are even if they're scammers, even if they're fucking greasy, even if they're slop. They're doing something. It's getting results they are winning in battle against slop. Core is winning in battle against slop. Core is also sucks but if you don't have better solutions
17:31Richard Greaser it's the first turning is about solutions, about building, about vibe coding the future. The first turning is about reconnecting with your family, having children, building the the foundations, building proud group chats where people are proud of each other and they're and they're doing positive things, and they're uplisting each other, and they're not making each other grumpy, and they're not undercutting each other with and and and feeding each other klep slop. They're feeding each other signal. And that's what the first turning, we are in the first turning, if you are still posting fourth turning slop, you're gonna be left behind, it's not the algorithm, it's where it's it's the relevance.
18:09Rod Palmer Well, one of the biggest changes that has happened in the algorithm is it it's much more about retention than it is just, like, kind of that initial dopamine hit. And the the way that you retain somebody's attention is you you do something interesting. You provide something interesting.
18:31Rod Palmer And, you gotta you gotta captivate people. And so it's harder and harder to captivate people because they're all wound out crashing out constantly. And so, like, the the fear porn that people have been so accustomed to putting out there, It's like the the the Bitcoin content ecosystem has been so
18:51Rod Palmer fear porn based for a while. It's, you know, very, like, forth turning ask, like, oh, you know, everything's gonna fall apart, so so therefore, you have to buy this hardware wallet and buy Bitcoin on this KYXT exchange and withdraw it and self custody, and that's gonna fix everything. It's it just doesn't work anymore because it's not not the place that we're in. We're in the first turning. The first turning is much more about building the world. Like, the the
19:21Rod Palmer self custody aspect of it was about preparing for this moment so that you had a financial base when the, you know, the plugs are running around, they can't afford Christmas presents, they're they're having trouble paying their taxes, they're, you know, crashing out because they have no money
19:41Rod Palmer and, they they don't know who to blame for it because they didn't listen to Bitcoin podcast, you're not having to be in that position. So now you can, you know, build build a life that you wanna live you know, build and the world that you wanna build. And a lot of people, you know, haven't made that adjustment yet where they're just sitting there, you know, kinda waiting for
20:05Rod Palmer things to fall apart. They're listening to TFTC with Marty Bent, having all these, you know, dumb Gen X boomer people on, talking about, like, how the collapse is coming eventually and how it's gonna get so much worse and whatever, and it's like
20:22Richard Greaser it it's kinda You know, you have that's exactly right. Right? The doomers, like, the doomer boomers who come on and tell us how how how the crash is coming and how bad it's gonna get. Brother, have some self awareness. It can't get any worse for most people. It can't get any worse if you're in Iran. It can't get any worse if you're in Europe. It can't get any worse if you're in Canada. It can't get any worse if you're in Minneapolis. It can't get any worse. It's worse here. How do we get out of this? The boomers some of these boomer doomers are worried about losing their vacation home, not the climate change, but the plebs, for wild rioting plebs.
21:00Richard Greaser And they're glazing the plebs to try to hold them off, and they're saying, Oh no, it's gonna get much worse, you have to listen to what I'm saying. It it doesn't get any worse. What are the solutions?
21:11Rod Palmer Exactly. And that's not that's not a it's not a position a lot of people want to to sit in right now because they they don't wanna take personal responsibility. Like, they they'd rather just, you know, plump slop about how it's somebody else's job to do something or, you know, what whatever. It's like the the the reality is is people are not gonna change
21:37Richard Greaser Largely speaking. Yes. And what is a fourth turning algorithm sugar post? Bitcoin, not crypto.
21:49Richard Greaser Just today, the zoo one of those announcement service, Twitter accounts that does announcements that automated Dennis Porter's job, they announced that Sui, s e y, token, they went offline because the the Sui Foundation forgot to pay their AWS
22:06Richard Greaser server bill, and so they shut down the whole blockchain. And people are like, this that they're a decentralized, Yes. Shit coins are are centralized
22:18Richard Greaser slot. We know. Shit coins, meme coins, or gambling. We know. Bitcoin, not crypto. We know. That was a foreturning. Saying, ghost of dick women posting of XRPs as shitcoin on 01/18/2026 is Slop.
22:38Richard Greaser We know. What is how am I gonna escape the permanent underclass and be able to retire and afford my taxes and be afford to pay for Christmas presents for my little blood children? Okay, I I know it's on XRP, but what is it? Well then it's Bitcoin, but Bitcoin's not going. You have to have more solutions in this. It's not just about buying an asset, forgetting about us. You can't afford to buy the pledged Christmas presents just because you buy Bitcoin. You might have to make some other changes in your life and do some work to realign yourself so you can fork Christmas presents for your children. That's the point. We know it's a shit coin. We know, we know, we know. What are your solutions? The fourth turning is over. Yeah. The boomer doomer announcements,
23:20Richard Greaser the World War three announcements, the shit coins, the scam, the warnings are in it. It's all no. It's not helpful.
23:29Rod Palmer Yeah. I feel like a lot of people are just sitting on their hands waiting around for, Scott Besson and these other guys to, you know, finalize their new Bretton Woods agreement. It's just like, guys, like, you you don't have to wait around for them to figure out what they're doing to figure out what you're gonna do. Like, you can have your own private Bretton Woods agreement, you know, with your friends and and and figure it out.
23:52Richard Greaser It's See, if you're if you're sitting around waiting for another round of regulatory clarity, waiting for this the Federal Reserve to to cut interest rates, if you're sitting around waiting for the Fed to do more quantitative easing, if you're sitting around waiting for the m two chart to move up, You're getting left behind. You are on the force turning algorithm. You need to get on the first turning algorithm. You need to start taking personal responsibility. You need to stop waiting for Jerome Powell
24:23Richard Greaser to kinda interest to pump your bags. You need to stop waiting for Cynthia Lummis and Donald Trump to to make a law that says that the government's gonna buy Bitcoin to pump your bags. You need to operate as if these things don't work anymore, and that you have to build it yourself.
24:42Rod Palmer Yeah. The the days of waiting and demanding that Jack Dorsey turns on, you know, the Square terminals to accept Bitcoin payments or, you know, begging the IRS to, give you a dem minimus exemption on on transactions, to not have to pay capital gains on your 200 set lightning boost. Though those aren't the times that we're in anymore. It is
25:10Rod Palmer the time of action. It is the time of, you know, personal responsibility. It's not it's not a meme that you tweet about. We're we're no longer in the hypothesizing about what citadels are going to look like. We're we're actively trying to determine what those are looking like and, like, debating about
25:35Richard Greaser The look who's not who's not waiting. There's two people who right now are making the most impact. You have the broccoli haircuts like Nick Shirley. They're now waiting for ICE and Trump and the pedophile ruling class to go investigate fraud in Minnesota, California.
25:52Richard Greaser They're going themselves without guns, without an army of Chevy Subaru RINs and masked agents in tow with them. They're they're going into day cares, they're going into business parks, and they're investigating and monitoring the situation from the ground and doing journalism on it. And then letting people know about the fraud, the massive fraud and money laundering going on in this country that every single one of the people in power knows is going on and is in is participating in it.
26:23Richard Greaser And they're waiting for those people to fit. You're waiting for the fraudsters to fix themselves. You're waiting for the pedophilic ruling class to investigate the files, incriminating them, and to to, do something about it. That's what you're waiting for if you think about it. And you and you look at the,
26:44Richard Greaser so you got the Zoomers? And, like, that's the biggest one. I had another one in mind, but, like, I think that's a good starting point, like, should we follow the examples of the the Zoomers? Is it time to take matters into our own hands and realize Epstein's client is is not gonna prosecute itself?
27:04Rod Palmer Absolutely. I mean, it's not whether you should take matters into your own hands, it's it's it's how you should take matters into your own hands, and I think that's where a lot of disagreements will will come. And, you know, you see the, the Libtards up in Minneapolis. They they think that taking matters into your own hands means going and, protesting and getting shot in the face by rubber bullets.
27:31Rod Palmer I don't think that's really, you know, productive, but, you know, at least they're they're trying to do something. I well, you know, if you go blind because you get shot by a nice rubber bullet, I don't know if that's better than doing nothing, but, like, at least they're taking some sort of action.
27:51Rod Palmer But, yeah, I mean, it's a Yeah. It's not a matter of The hyper action matters. It's how.
27:58Richard Greaser And then the other the other one is, that I remembered is the, look at the Hasidic Jews who are building their own ethnic enclaves in places like New York, in the tunnels of New York, in all over the country, And they're they're doing what
28:17Richard Greaser the the architects of the social agreement, the welfare system intended. They're using welfare not they're not adding babies to get welfare. They're having wealth they're using welfare to have babies, and they're building these ethnic conclaves. They're reproducing, and they are building families.
28:36Richard Greaser And they're building families with strong you have you have to agree with those values, but they're at least building strong families for the future. They are building citadels, and and being unapologetic about their values. What are you doing? Are you doing that? I want you to criticize these tunnel shoes for getting welfare and having big families. You won't even do that. You won't even do it if you could afford it. You have to you have to build the citadels yourself.
29:06Richard Greaser BlackRock I know we think that real estate's a shitcoin, but BlackRock's not gonna build the citadels and rent them out to you at discounted rates because you were right about Bitcoin. You have to build the citadels yourself. You you can't rely on Trump to ban Blackstone and BlackRock from buying in the suburbs
29:24Richard Greaser so you could build your enclaves. You have to do this yourself. You have to stop waiting for somebody else to fix these problems for you. Otherwise, you end up with federal agents in your city
29:39Richard Greaser blasting away, just blasting people left and right. Because maybe maybe you think Renee could deserve it. Maybe you think the fucking, gang member in Minnesota who attacked the fed with yeah. I mean, they're stupid. That's what happens when you're stupid.
29:56Richard Greaser But the next one might the next victim might be you because they're sloppy. We talked we've been over this. You you put the slot the sloppers in charge. Don't be surprised when they slap you.
30:10Rod Palmer Well, you know, one of the things as I've been talking with people, one thing I'm seeing more and more is many people are having these existential crises. There's many people asking, you know, very basic questions that matter, like, why do I live? Why do wanna live? Why do I get up in the morning? Things like that. I think there's a lot of people that
30:34Rod Palmer are really overwhelmed by the calling the first turning has put in front of you, the calling of responsibility. It it is overwhelming for individuals that, you know, haven't taken on that role of self responsibility before.
30:51Rod Palmer And, you know, for our listeners that might be in that position that may be thinking about, you know, parking their car in the garage or whatever it is, it's a great opportunity. Because those types of feelings and questions, which many, many people are experiencing right now, that sense of hopelessness. They're like, wow, you know, it's the end of the world because my Plebslop tweets aren't getting liked anymore on Twitter, therefore, Bitcoin's suppressed, therefore, it's game over.
31:25Rod Palmer The pedophilic ruling class and the, you know, the Silicon Valley monsters are, you know, throttling my my post or whatever, you know, the narrative is, so therefore, I I don't have a reason to live. It's like, that is one of the best opportunities that you can experience is facing those types of questions because it brings you down into the most basic
31:51Rod Palmer questions of, you know, why are you choosing to live? Like, where are you deriving your sense of meaning from in life? And the pain and the struggle that you feel ultimately will bring that sense of purpose and meaning. Like, it's not something to avoid. The the struggle is is the best thing that can happen to you
32:15Rod Palmer at the end of the day because it's gonna it's gonna bring the best out of you or has the potential if you don't give up. And, I think it's a time to be incredibly hopeful. It's a time of change. It's a time of
32:34Rod Palmer resiliency. Like, it it all the information that you have consumed and learned about for years probably at this point, you get to apply it. It's where it's where the information that you've been learning actually becomes valuable in your life as it plays out. And that that's a really beautiful thing.
32:56Rod Palmer It's a really beautiful thing to to be able to implement the stuff that you've been learning on podcast and and integrate it into your life in a in a reasonable way, or meaningful way. And so I, you know, I I just I I hope our listeners aren't too discouraged. I I I've seen a lot of people crashing out. People have been crashing out in the group chats. I'm
33:24Richard Greaser not entirely sure why. If if you if you're gonna crash out, crash out in the group chat. Crash out to your wife. Crash out to don't be kidding. Don't always crash out to her. I think don't crash out to your kids. Crash out to your friends. Crash out in private. Crash out off chain. Don't crash out in public. Don't
33:48Richard Greaser if everybody sees you get slimed by ice and bleed out on TikTok, it's over for you. Maybe maybe it's not real for some people unless it's on TikTok, I don't know, but it's real. If it if you crash out, if you have a bad day, if you if you just diss it listen, like, we bent over this, not the outer room, it's not the price oppression, it's not Israel, it's not the Jews that are that that are making you grumpy. So don't blame them on the timeline
34:16Richard Greaser because that go giving the given the fans, given given the facade, given the d state a reason to to target you or to fucking slime you on TikTok is there's no coming back from that. You can you can crash out in the privacy of your group chat with your closest boys,
34:39Richard Greaser and you and you can turn it around, you can turn it around, you can be proud of each other.
34:44Rod Palmer Well, I I think, like, a lot of these, it what is what is being pitched to individuals is that you can go commit suicide by cop, raise money via an OnlyFans, or, sorry, GoFundMe, whatever it is,
35:03Rod Palmer and and then have a bunch of libtards, you know, promote you as a hero for committing suicide by cop. Like, that that's what's being presented to a lot of people as one of the best things that they could do right now. But it really doesn't, you know, because you you just never get the opportunity to if you if you die in a in a crash out, they're, like, you just give all your power
35:31Rod Palmer immediately away. Like, you you lived ended up living, you know, a pretty unimpressive life. In my opinion, you didn't reach your potential. Like, that's the opportunity that you have to experience right now is the the ability to to actually realize yourself and do something, you know, productive or or meaningful in the world. And,
35:57Rod Palmer it's just there there's a perspective of looking for opportunities instead of bitching and moaning about, you know, how things are unfair. Like, of course, things are unfair. You're ruled by a bunch of pedophiles. Like, it it's not new news. None of that's new information. None none of that's changed. It's just, you know,
36:19Rod Palmer things are a little bit more, you know, difficult than seeing your face, so it's a little bit more unavoidable. So it's harder to, you know, disassociate and watch your Netflix when you can't afford your Netflix bill. You know what I mean? That's the only thing that's changed. Like, what what that does for you is it just it it puts reality right there in your face and you gotta deal with it. But dealing with reality
36:44Rod Palmer instead of just, you know, entertaining this, you know, these bullshit ideas of of giving up or it it yields good results at the end of the day. You're not toiling for nothing. But,
37:04Rod Palmer yeah. I mean, geopolitically, we're we're in a pretty interesting time. You know, Rod, I know you've been monitoring the situation. I've been monitoring the situation. We we had some predictions that we were discussing on on last episode. You predicted that Iran was gonna fall. I think, or the Iranian regime was gonna fall. I,
37:30Rod Palmer I thought that was already gonna happen. I think many of us are surprised that that hasn't happened yet. I predicted that the summer is gonna be real spicy. I think that's looking, you know, even more likely now. It's already spicy in the winter. You know you know things are, you know, plans are gonna be real grumpy this summer when they're already grumpy in the winter.
37:54Rod Palmer Because if there's one thing that's for sure about plebs is that they don't like to be grumpy outside and protest when it's cold, but they're already doing it. So it's just it it's probably just gonna roll into the summer and be even spicier as it starts to warm up. But there's all this shit going on, you know, geopolitically, you know, with Iran, with Venezuela, you know, The Middle East in general. There's a lot of things shuffling around. Do you have any
38:24Rod Palmer predictions for this year that you think are gonna be important or just important developments that you foresee happening?
38:36Richard Greaser You know, I don't want to get too specific with it just because I think the details are not, A, not that important, and B, it it is everything changes so quickly.
38:52Richard Greaser Don't lose sight of it. There's gonna be a lot of power structure shifts. There's gonna be a lot of volatility in the transfer of this power. Like, it won't necessarily be formal transfer of power. It will be real transfer of power. It'll be objective, like, inherent. Like, it it won't have to be official. Right? Like, it's gonna be a lot of that. It's gonna be a lot of volatility in cities. It's gonna be a lot of a lot more conflict in communities,
39:20Richard Greaser especially communities that are full of people who have been frauding the system, frauding each other, frauding taxpayers, and moving high off the hog
39:33Richard Greaser while everybody else, you know, is struggling to pay their taxes. And I think that there's, you know listen, I even the Bank of England now is talking about being, briefed about potential of market disruption due to the fact that the existence of aliens is gonna be announced by some announcement
39:55Richard Greaser sometime this year. And the again, World War two has been common, or receiving World War three and, the market crash, the Black Swan, whatever it is, has people have been saying that's been common for years now. They say it all the time and they clash with the never nothing ever happens people. I don't I don't take the aliens thing
40:19Richard Greaser on its face like Independence Day, where Mars attacks, where there's gonna be, like, alien creatures that, you've seen in in science fiction, that they're gonna come down in UFOs, and they're gonna they're gonna bring back Dennis Porter in in and then wanna come on a podcast and learn about Bitcoin. But something is just gonna be the data's very alien to
40:45Richard Greaser people today, whether it's ideas, whether it's, projections of power, whether it's the audaciousness of the state or of human behavior of international relations. Something that is very alien to us today is gonna happen in 2026. And it's gonna it's gonna be something, like, that you can kind of define as, like, okay, that is maybe AGI, like,
41:11Richard Greaser artificial general intelligence, maybe that is something that comes out of Silicon Valley or somewhere else. Some other dimension. I don't know. It's it's very metaphoric language, Something like that. The alien there's gonna be a very alien there's gonna be an alien situation. We're gonna be monitoring the alien situation together at some point this year.
41:35Rod Palmer Well, a lot of people, there there's two distractions that the pedophilic ruling class has up their sleeves. Aliens is like the last resort. The resort before aliens is shutting off the Internet
41:52Rod Palmer and doing a cyber pandemic. So people have been calling for the cyber pandemic. I don't know if that if and when that'll ever happen. That might just be a doomer you know, the the ultimate doomer fear porn. Just, you know, how how could you, if you wanna scare the plebs, nothing scares them more than, not being able to go on Twitter and, you know, being told by
42:17Rod Palmer influencers what to think. That's, like, the one of the scariest realities that that faces any club. But, yeah, as far as predictions, I I I do think there's gonna be some pretty shocking events that happen or transpire this year.
42:39Rod Palmer One of the one of the biggest ones I I think is, you know, a lot of the surveillance mechanisms that have been in place, they're they're actually gonna be enforced and, you know, and acted on. And I think, like, the rollout of many of these AI products and the the curation of, you know, putting people on list, they're they're starting to figure out the mechanisms
43:05Rod Palmer in order to organize and act on the information. So I think that'll that'll be interesting. You know, Donald Trump has, threatened to denaturalize US citizens, kick them out of the country.
43:22Rod Palmer So are we gonna see that? Are we gonna see a lot of these grumpy libertarians that have been posting about the US empire and not
43:33Rod Palmer supporting wars or whatever, like the Scott Hortons of the world? Are we gonna see them denaturalized as US citizens? Is that a possibility
43:44Richard Greaser or I don't think they're gonna be denaturalized by Donald Trump or the federal government, but they're gonna be denaturalized by their fellow by their fellow Americans, by their fellow people. I think that if you if hey. Let me let me let me frame this correctly. It's not that Donald Trump does not deserve a ton of criticism.
44:06Richard Greaser If there's not that Donald Trump does not deserve, to to be labeled correctly as a hypocrite, as a liar, as a at the very least, somebody who is tolerant of, human traffickers like Jeffrey Epstein. It's not that I know that not that's true. It's that if if you keep distracting us from solved from from first turning behavior
44:30Richard Greaser with your fourth turning humor conspiracies and and and and constant babble about why you you why you think something that is clearly not the top priority right now, as there is literally an army of broccoli haircuts and lib chartarians
44:47Richard Greaser potentially going to nuclear war outside my house. You're not being helpful, you're going you're just going to be last off the algorithm, you're going to be last off the the social network. And it it it may not even be that the government has to be in you from
45:08Richard Greaser social media, or you have to be p banked. You're just not it's just gonna happen organically if you don't get on the right out, if you don't get into the first turning mindset. You don't have you don't even have to have good, really good solutions. You don't have to be the person who solves the problems of the world.
45:26Richard Greaser No individual will, but you have to change your mindset. Otherwise, it nobody's because nobody's gonna listen to you anymore. And it nobody's listening to you and nobody cares. The risk
45:41Richard Greaser of actually being denaturalized and sent somewhere deported, sent somewhere, sent to Somalia, wherever, is much higher. It's just much higher. So I think that that's kind of my take on it.
45:58Rod Palmer Yeah. I I imagine probably what will happen, there might be some, pretty notable,
46:08Richard Greaser examples being made. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. Sure. Destiny
46:12Rod Palmer or the you know, some of these Kyle Kalinski, some of these left wing, you know, podcasters that are popular.
46:21Richard Greaser If you crash out, this is all like, if one of those guys crashes out too hard, that'll be another way. Like, they'll either be denaturalized or, you know, dematerialized by the state.
46:34Rod Palmer What are the odds that Mike Brock gets denaturalized?
46:38Richard Greaser If I mean, if that's if they if they do something where it's, like, the Internet gets kinda locked down and you can't get, essays from one country to another, I they might they might deport him to a to a place where he can no longer send essays to the federal government, to Donald Trump, to everybody he used to work with, all of his former family members, all the people in his group chats that have,
47:02Richard Greaser jaded out, we're still paying attention to him. That's probably what they'll do, or they'll just be in a sub sec.
47:10Rod Palmer Yeah. They'll they'll put him out of, like, Meshtastic or or BitChat range when he he's trying to send his essays over those protocols.
47:19Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, I mean, hopefully, he'll be humble humbled when he's forced to use Jack when he doesn't agree with everything Jack Dorsey says, and he's very public about those disagreements, but hopefully he'll be humbled if he's required to use, a tool, a a contribution that Jack Dorsey has made in BitChat
47:40Richard Greaser to be able to send essays to The United States.
47:45Rod Palmer I think I think he's a fan of Bitchat actually, from what I've seen of him. I I think there's, like, he's on the Oster, he's he's not he doesn't have Dorsey derangement syndrome yet. So that's a good example, right,
47:59Richard Greaser of what I mean where you don't necessarily have to have solutions, but you have to be a first turning mindset. Right now, it's never been a more important time for somebody with a platform like Mike Brock to be raising awareness and helping people to know for find out about and use BitChat. Instead, he's writing essays about Forrest Gump and Donald Trump. We need more BitChat posts from Mike Brock and fewer essays about Forrest Gump.
48:26Rod Palmer Would you would you think that Jell is a, first turning plaid? Like, she's ahead of the curve?
48:35Richard Greaser Absolutely. Jell is a first turning plaid. She, you know, at least Jelle seems like the kind of girl who gets her guidance from the vibes and crystals and just the kind of things that maybe some plebs think that they're too sophisticated to pay attention to. She's got a little bit more self awareness. I don't know the collab or or the the gel. At least I haven't seen any jump up or say anything in the team to solve our problems politically, culturally, economically,
49:05Richard Greaser but she's contributing. She is she's she's trying. She's she's got her head in the right place.
49:14Rod Palmer Kit Sats, on the other hand, seems like a fourth turning point. Like, she has not made that transition yet. She she's still in the mindset of, wow, I got paid a $120 for my plop slop this month from Twitter.
49:28Richard Greaser Before turning, you you could survive before turning off plop slop and tallow, But it's gonna take more than Plov, Slov, and Tallow in the first turn.
49:36Rod Palmer What's got you excited about this, upcoming week? I I listened to your episode this morning with, Avi. I really enjoyed it. I thought that was a good show. What's on your radar for this upcoming week?
49:49Richard Greaser Well, the things I'm optimistic about this week have, it's more personal. I I'm being excited about getting the weather's a bit decent and getting outside, walking in the sun more often, and eating healthier than, doing, the,
50:07Richard Greaser pre you pre make your meals or whatever, meal planning, it's it sounds terrible, and I avoided it, but, and then going to the gym more often, and, was still listening to forty hours before we just got the day to day stuff, fixing stuff on the house, Bill Bill first turning builder type shit is what I'm excited about. I I am looking forward to you, but I probably wouldn't say I'm emotionally optimistic about
50:34Richard Greaser the situations that are being that we're all monitoring and what's how those are gonna unfold. The Bitcoin price just dumped this evening, and I don't know if the futures markets are open because tomorrow's a federal holiday, but, I don't pay attention to the market hours these days. Seems like a situation, and other situations brewing and people are on standby to be monitoring, including myself.
51:01Richard Greaser But, you know, at this point, like I said, we know we know that it's gonna be bad. We know that Mike Brock is gonna throw a fit. We know that Nick Sorter is going to, basically have a panic attack about it and call for Rambo to come in with the, helicopter
51:20Richard Greaser mounted Uzi. We know that Nick Fuentes is going to, you know, make fun of people, call them Goys for smoking weed at the protest, smoking weed monitoring situation. You know, Joe Rogan is gonna fucking be a care lord about it. And and after he to talk about squeezing people's throats shut and then being like Donald Trump is an authoritarian because he, he said he were gonna have elections. Vice H2, everybody's gonna have their opinion, everybody's gonna be glazing.
51:50Richard Greaser We know, so I'm looking forward to stuff that, is a demonitored by everybody. The situation that not everybody's not paying attention to. The situation you should be paying attention to is the situation within a five mile radius of your house.
52:06Rod Palmer I think just the most foreturning activity that is just so over, it's it's not worth participating in anymore. It was never worth participating in in the first place, but, you know, lots of people did it anyways.
52:24Rod Palmer Was arguing and bickering about who Bitcoiners would send on to Joe Rogan as their representative to discuss Bitcoin. That was
52:38Rod Palmer such a a lame nonsense
52:41Richard Greaser call. Fourth turning speculation. Such a fourth turning debate. Jack Mallers versus, Max Keiser versus Michael Saylor versus Alex Gladstein versus who's gonna be on
52:56Richard Greaser Joe Rogan's podcast talking about Bitcoin, and we're not talk we're not talking about that in the first churning. We're talking about who's gonna be on cool day to where we're talking about Bitcoin in the first churning.
53:08Rod Palmer Which which Bitcoin podcast is gonna eclipse her again in the first churning? Reagan's not that interesting anymore, folks. He he was a foreturning podcast. Like, it's it's kinda over for him. He's been trended downward. He's so irrelevant in my mind,
53:25Richard Greaser because as irrelevant as Howard Stern, but he's on the same trajectory. Right? Like Howard Stern, super relevant when I was younger with, with adults, you know, one of the top they didn't even have podcasts back then. It was like the top XM satellite Sirius radio show because he had to go on XM or Sirius if he wanted to, you know, talk about non compliant stuff.
53:49Richard Greaser He was the the nobody get Howard Stern has TDS. Howard Stern had COVID fucking derangement syndrome. He wouldn't go outside. He was in fact, I think I think Howard Stern still wears a mask sometimes. Super jazz. Eddie, Joe Rogan's, he was, you know, Howard Stern was a hero against political correctness in the nineties. Joe Rogan was, to some extent, a hero. Joe Rogan at least showed courage by standing up and being defiant in the face of, like, the vaccine and all the COVID hysteria. Joe Rogan peak in relevancy there,
54:22Richard Greaser but not so much anymore. I don't it's lose lose a lot of relevancy.
54:29Rod Palmer Yep. I I forgot he existed. Like, he he's got an audience. We're we're gonna you know, we're going through demographic changes pretty rapidly, and it's it's really the time of the millennials and the the Zoomers taking the reins and reshaping the world.
54:51Rod Palmer The the boomers are dying off, and the Gen Xers are are chasing them. And so where Morgan's audience is is going to be trending downwards is that the broccoli haircuts are just not going to be
55:05Richard Greaser interested in it. But the coveted the most coveted demographic in media for various reasons, for marketing products, for advertisement, for interest, for freshness in knowing what's in vogue, quote unquote,
55:22Richard Greaser is, that, you know, it's like 25 to 40, age 25 to 40, and sometimes like 18 to 40. And right now the millennial generation, the older millennials are have our age started aging out of that demographic range, and now as you're starting to get to the middle range of the millennials and you're starting to get
55:46Richard Greaser a big proportion of Zoomers, broccoli haircuts, people who love Charlie Kirk, people who think Nick Fuentes in and out the not offended by Alice Jones. They're not offended by racism, bigotry. They're not offended by being called Nazis. They don't just the the I mean, some of these some of the people in this demographic are the liberal Karens who these broccoli haircuts are some of them are terrified of the Karens. I think that's part of the problem. I think Mick Fuentes and some of these guys, they're terrified of these liberal middle aged Karens. Like, they were bullied by these middle aged Karens. They were talked down to their whole lives. If you listen to Mick Fuentes, he's terrified of the Karens. Some of the boomers, some of these Zoomers do not give a fuck. They are not scared of anybody, and they're definitely not scared of the pussy,
56:30Richard Greaser like, millennial males who are wearing shirts to say, I'm a male feminist and, like, you know, like, nah. They're they're the ones sent in these Karens. No way. So the demographics changed big time. Joe Rogan was popular with a lot of other millennials, a lot of, like, Gen x people. And, you know, ten, twelve years ago, talking about DMT was extremely subversive and, like, cool. And now it's, you know, the Zoomers don't even like drugs. The only drugs Zoomers like are product productivity drugs like Ritalin and Adderall. They don't care about DMT. They're they're for fascism fitting in
57:04Richard Greaser and, SEC style football culture. It's it's a different it's a different group. Absolutely.
57:13Rod Palmer Well, one of the things I'm excited about this week is, Kraylee or sorry, Kaley Welch, her her she's launching a a new rap persona called Kraylee. She's gonna be releasing a new music video, So look out for that. I got my music show Monday night. I think there's gonna be a lot of situation monitoring
57:38Rod Palmer to be happening. I think there's gonna be a lot of interesting podcasts that are released.
57:45Richard Greaser Oh, yeah. Shinobi's nephew, E Cash Sailor, the TikTok super rapper he put out in you so long, this this morning, slot culture, replacing pop culture. That's a good one. Check out, you know, check that one out.
58:01Richard Greaser Yeah. Look forward to content, new intellectual, Silk Road series with the time chain calendar creator, meditation man. Check that one out if you're interested in block, you
58:16Richard Greaser know, thinking about Bitcoin is time, being aware, meditating on things like that. Yeah. Are you ready to get to the
58:25Rod Palmer to get to the boost? Well, the the last thing I wanted to say is, one cool thing that you can do, guys, like, if you like our music, not not all of our music is on Spotify or, you know, whatever music platform you listen to yet. I know I like to release stuff, trickle it out on Wave Lake as I, kinda compile albums.
58:47Rod Palmer But, you can find our music on Fountain, and you can actually organize it into playlists. This is one of the things that I, learned from watching Avi's show this morning with Erod, and you can actually boost our music doing that. So that is, you know, kind of a cool development,
59:08Rod Palmer that you can check out. If you want a good, Bugle party music playlist, you can compile that on Fountain, you know, because Wave Light doesn't let you do platelets for some reason. But, yeah, that's the last thing I had to say for boost.
59:31Rod Palmer Last episode was titled twenty twenty six starts with a bang and sure has. First Bruce, fundamentals, 50,000 stats said, math as a liberal art is not a political slant.
59:46Rod Palmer It's a presence of humanities that has been missing from math education as long as we've been alive. We don't do math. We are math. Learning math as a liberal art might have saved Renee Good's life. Thanks for the shout out. And then he boosted again for 10,101 sass says, Creepy Eagle episode, banger intro segment, and outro song. Nobody better to be underestimating
1:00:11Rod Palmer you guys in 2026. I don't know. I don't really have a ton of thoughts on, math as a liberal art. I mean, I'm a journalist, so, you know, math was never really my forte.
1:00:24Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. It's listen. Fundamentals is, building the a lot of new content, a lot of new, a lot of new platform, a new way to access, digestible
1:00:39Richard Greaser education around different mathematics subjects like Michael Sailor's dissertations, you know, economics, work in history. He's got a new podcast with Rob Hamilton,
1:00:56Richard Greaser Magic Internet Math. See all that coming on. He Matt fundamentals is thinking a lot about math. And I think more people need to be thinking a little bit more about math and taking a little bit more seriously and using mathematics to solve problems and to and to, as as fundamentals put it,
1:01:15Richard Greaser develop confidence in their ability to reason. Mathematics and understanding it and is it builds your helps you build confidence in your own ability to solve problems and to reason about hard things. So if you're interested in getting better at those things and you want to, approach it from a first principles mathematical basis,
1:01:37Richard Greaser Check out their check out their podcast and check out that platform. Thank you, Fundamentals, for the boost and, thank you for being a pioneer in math podcasts. Next, boost 5,000 sats from who other than Bubba. My coordination for 2026, nothing much will change. The bigwigs will lead you to believe that it has, it hasn't. The colors will change, but the mechanicals will be exactly the same. The news will be delivered the same, and basically the news will be the same. I know, I'm a party tooper,
1:02:09Richard Greaser but, this world is full of bullshit. Try not to step in it. Oh, yeah. Bitcoin will be a 100 k by Christmas. Facebook, but that that that's an interesting and to a certain extent, he's right. Nothing will change, but everything will change at the same time. It's just a matter of your perspective. I did find it interesting that he threw in a little price prediction at the end. It's it's it's not the most bullish prediction, but was but what seems bearish Bubba seems bearish.
1:02:42Rod Palmer Well, the the question isn't whether things are gonna change in the macro environment, if the plugs are gonna stop being retarded or whatever. We're like we know we know the plugs are gonna, you know, continue to be retarded. We know the pedophilic ruling class is still gonna be in charge. That trust in the plan or whatever is a, you know, bad strategy. But, you know, the question for 2026 is, what's gonna change for you and your life?
1:03:07Rod Palmer Are the circumstances that you're living in going to improve? Are they gonna change? Or are you gonna stay stuck and immobilized like many people are? Like, that that's kind of the the framing and the question that I hope, you know, you're asking yourself looking
1:03:26Rod Palmer at the future, looking at this year ahead is, make it personal. Make it about you instead of, you know, demanding that the the world looks a certain way that you want it to, because you're you have very little control over that most likely. But, no. It's a it's an interesting take.
1:03:49Rod Palmer There's a lot of people that are super bearish on the on the Bitcoin price, which I think could be a serious mistake. I think, you know, people got way too bullish going into this previous cycle.
1:04:02Richard Greaser I think the mistake might be very interesting. If you're wrong about Bitcoin's upside this year, you you could also be wrong, you probably are wrong, about Bitcoin's downside this coming year. So
1:04:18Richard Greaser don't stonemate, don't parlay your bullishness into bearishness. Continue to be bullish. Continue to look for situations that you can monitor that make you feel bullish.
1:04:30Rod Palmer Uh-huh. Totally. Next boost from, Sasha for 2100 says twenty twenty six predictions. Number one,
1:04:41Rod Palmer GM versus Nikita Bair. CT, I assume that's crypto Twitter wins, and the little nerd gets fired. So I think Nikita Bair, is he the Twitter guy that's supposedly throttling
1:04:60Rod Palmer crypto post or whatever.
1:05:03Richard Greaser Yeah. That's how he's that a product at x, and you also but this GM floor is, people like, good mornings. That's a crypto Twitter thing. And that's that's, like, kinda the rally, like, oh, you're gonna take away our good mornings. Like, it's all we got. It's a bull market. All of our positions got liquidated. All of our shit coins are in the gutter, and now you're gonna take away our ability to say good morning to each other. So people with this, that's what people are most. Yeah. Yeah. Number Trump corporate the CMI, Dives. I don't know.
1:05:32Rod Palmer Yeah. I don't that I mean, that one will be interesting to see. I think that it's just like what Trump likes to do to the Bitcoin community. He likes to put them in the cuck chair. You know what I mean? And and just tell them that they they have to beg them and and give them money. So, I mean, I I could see it. But then what what is his bargaining chip to to keep the the Bitcoin community in the, the cup chair after that. I don't know.
1:05:58Rod Palmer It's like they they were able to milk, Ross for a while. They might try to milk samurai for a little bit. That might there could be a a pardon at the end of his term. Number three, drones become really problematic. Yeah.
1:06:16Rod Palmer That's that's an interesting one. It it's been a very big discussion in the group chats is, the drones and, you know,
1:06:24Richard Greaser it's been problematic for Problematic for who? Problematic for who? If you're Ukraine or Russia, Iran, it's a place in The Middle East, drones are already problematic for you. I hope I hope you don't mean problematic for plebs. If drones become problematic for plaids, I mean, try and hope not. We'll see.
1:06:46Rod Palmer Yeah. Number four, Bitcoin sets an all time high out of nowhere. I like that prediction. I think that's pretty reasonable. And then, number five, JPMorgan gets wrecked for shorting Bitcoin. That's an interesting one. You think that JPMorgan's gonna short Bitcoin?
1:07:04Richard Greaser Oh, I'm sure they're gonna short it, but if they want to, but if you watched, the big short when all the credit default swaps, ended up, you know, going parabolic
1:07:17Richard Greaser in value, the banks like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, they were able to suppress the price and get out of those positions before getting wrecked by shorting it. And
1:07:32Richard Greaser not everybody gets to have the privilege of, getting getting out of those situations before things go belly up. But if anybody is, it's JPMorgan. So I don't think that I don't think Trump is still yeah. The Fed it it will be difficult. It's difficult for me to see that them them letting, JPMorgan go down for shorting Bitcoin,
1:07:55Richard Greaser but I do think it is a risk. I mean, it could be one of those things where in the fourth turning, that would never happen. But in the first turning, JPMorgan gets wrecked for shorting Bitcoin. And in that instance there you go.
1:08:09Rod Palmer Yeah. I think it's too early to, to short the Epstein client list and to, at least it what I mean by that is to gamble on their demise. Definitely too early to short the, the bankers of the Epstein client list. Like, I I think JPMorgan is still in a pretty strong position, though. They do seem a little bit squirrelly about Tether,
1:08:35Rod Palmer which is interesting to watch. But, yeah, those are those are very interesting predictions, Sasha. I appreciate you sending them in.
1:08:44Richard Greaser Next was from Katie 2026, Sat. Some honored predictions for 2026 Michael Saylor continued to crash out on the pioneers that call him out for what he just exposed himself to be on the What Bitcoin Did podcast, a digital credit lender, and the debt based Ponzi scheme that is Fiat or is built on, glazed and sprinkled with the illusion that he's a hero of Bitcoin. Yeah. I think that, I could see that happening. It it must price does what Sasha thinks it is and everything in those his stock recovers and makes new all time highs as well. I think, say, it was gonna continue to be pretty grumpy. I think his investors are gonna be pretty grumpy.
1:09:24Richard Greaser So I could see that for sure. Greenland will be liberated from the Danish regime that forced contraception unknowingly onto Inuit girls that led May to become sterile by a country ran by global pedophile rings that they prey on in the Niemite of native populations. They will probably thank us for all the new opportunities. She's bolus on a stay in Greenland.
1:09:50Richard Greaser And that's some good alpha there. Right? Because I just figured being American's cooler than being Danish. Danish have really high taxes, and, they probably wish the Danish were more bullish on Bitcoin mining, so they'd have more Bitcoin mining facilities in Greenland to help it warm up because it's freaking cold there, stabilize the grid a little bit.
1:10:13Richard Greaser But actually, the Danish have all have been pretty cruel to the Inuit people and to Greenland locals since sterilizing them. So maybe that's a liberating opportunity.
1:10:25Rod Palmer That's interesting. I didn't I'd never heard of that story. But, yeah, I know I know Compass Mining is very bullish on on The US taking Greenland. I I hear that they're planning on deploying a a fairly large, Binax facility there. Saw that headline this week.
1:10:44Richard Greaser No. Maduro will stand trial and give a slap on the wrist or even more likely in this case, will get completely dismissed on procedural grounds or violation of due process. I've seen a lot of comments around that potentiality. I do see the I I mean, the way that, everything was kinda
1:11:04Richard Greaser carried out, the whole operation seemed very in some people's minds and I could see the agreement that it was too good to be true. I can definitely see Maduro as some kind of a deal that was worked out the whole invasion and capture his political theater. So, yeah, I mean, definitely. I think they got what they want out of, Venezuela. Whether Maduro faces
1:11:27Richard Greaser any sort of, justice, quote unquote, that people feel he deserves. We'll see. I doubt it.
1:11:36Rod Palmer Well, the the charges are very strange. I mean, that's a that's an interesting prediction. Yeah. There is a possibility that Maduro gains a residency at Mar A Lago after this. Who knows?
1:11:50Richard Greaser Absolutely. US ships all its extraction techniques over to South America. That yeah. I can see that. I mean,
1:12:01Rod Palmer that's we're gonna
1:12:03Richard Greaser Middle East is kind of massive. A lot of tether down there. Yeah. A lot of tethers gonna go down there, and they're gonna buy a lot of treasuries. They get some oil down there. There's a lot of shifts politically to right wing governments who seem to be, like, very cooperative with The United States to send them access to, like, minerals and oil and resources for war tether. Yeah, I mean, I think that's a good and vague enough prediction that,
1:12:31Richard Greaser I could see a lot of angles for it. And we'll find out if prefers, pupusas over
1:12:37Rod Palmer whatever trash food they have in The Middle East.
1:12:42Richard Greaser Absolutely. If we find out if Bitcoin is still a beach ball, hell, loose the end of the water waiting to jump for you, or if institutions and poly markets manage to tether a ball and chain out of control that keeps it under Yeah. Yeah. That is another interesting framing. A lot of people do like a beach ball ready to emerge, and thinking about it from a
1:13:08Richard Greaser mechanism that tethers it underneath, it I'll think about that more. That that's interesting, argument to think about.
1:13:20Rod Palmer How would that happen? Podcast series on that one. Yeah. Well, thank you, Katie. Appreciate it. Dave Satoshi, five hundred twenty one SaaS says thank you for your time. No. No. No. Thank you, Dave Satoshi.
1:13:36Richard Greaser User 22290668. 500 staff. Bang, bang. Anthony Pantoliano. There you go. That's that's a, my alien prediction. That's a, it's an alien prediction right there.
1:13:51Rod Palmer Shadrach, 323 sassays, follow the glaze, Rod Palmer. Thank you, Shadrach. The glaze.
1:14:01Richard Greaser Just a rabbit 221 staffs is gonna be a fucked up turbulent year. That that depending on who you are, certainly starting that way.
1:14:12Rod Palmer It's gonna be interesting. You got a front row seat to the first turn. Green Candle Investments, 200 sat says, I can only sat 200 sat because I spent the rest on my Bloomberg terminal.
1:14:29Richard Greaser Thank you for still boost basis for still boosting us. We talked about that last week. Pork green candle, spent $30,000 on a Zebra Bloomberg terminal, and then the algorithm changed to the first journey. So the last three, Boost, from BTC onboard,
1:14:48Richard Greaser Hellenhaancer CTV, 100 SATs each. 2026 prediction, in 2025, Mike Brock. Mike Brock was only tiering. In 2026, We'll bring the real crash out. That's a that is a safe prediction in my opinion. Also, banger, and then three thumbs up, heart. Do you think this is the year for Mike Brock?
1:15:11Rod Palmer I think so. I think he's willing to put the work in. He's trying hard. I mean, his commitment to being on Oster shows that I think he's ready for it to be his year.
1:15:21Richard Greaser If you use carpal tunnel from writing essays, he's really gonna lose his mind.
1:15:27Rod Palmer Mike, if you I I doubt that you'll ever listen to Bitcoin podcasts because you're too busy glazing yourself, but if you ever listen to something like this, acupuncture is a good way to deal with the carpal tunnel. It's relatively inexpensive and easy. Fun fact. Yeah, folks. Thank you for listening to this episode.
