0:08Richard Greaser Last week in Washington DC, PubKey hosted a pro data center party on behalf of the Bitcoin Policy Institute. The party consisted of a bunch of out of touch AI nerds gathering together to participate in a child sacrifice to the ancient Babylonian god, Moloch. People throughout history have been engaging in sacrifices to this ancient god in exchange for power or prosperity. It is speculated that the members of the Bohemian Grove meet every year to engage in a similar ritual. One of Big Bitcoin's mottos has been NGU at all costs, which stands in contrast with the cypherpunk values of freedom and privacy that many adopters of Bitcoin have historically believed in. The move marked not only a significant pivot towards AI, but the first publicly recorded example of big Bitcoin participating in child sacrifice. The appeal of AI is obvious. AI people do not complain like Bitcoin plebs actually have money to spend and never ask why a conference about financial freedom with the FBI director speaking at it needs a $790

1:03Richard Greaser admission fee. They show up with wads of cash they are willing to throw around in almost zero moral scruples. The pivot is spreading. Core Scientific is building AI infrastructure. Iron paused Bitcoin expansion to focus on its AI build out. Terra Wolf is signing AI hosting deals. Of course, Big Bitcoin is trying to find ways to make this sound bullish for Bitcoin itself. The story goes, AI will grow. AI will need power. Former Bitcoin miners will sell AI. Then somehow Bitcoin goes up. I asked someone to explain the last step. He said, it's all connected. So is my toaster to the electrical grid. I don't call it a Bitcoin treasury strategy. And now there's an even bigger dream. AI agents will need money. They'll buy things from other AI agents, and naturally, they'll choose Bitcoin. Soon, millions of machines will be making tiny payments to one another while the humans who built the system wait for number to go up. What will the agents buy? Nobody knows. Probably subscriptions to hear other agents explain why their payments are bullish. I can see why people are excited about AI. There are real uses for it. There may be a real business in converting some mining sites into data centers. The cypherpunks wanted money people could use without permission.

2:07Richard Greaser Big Bitcoin now seems willing to settle for a business that can get permission to build a very large warehouse. Maybe one day, an AI agent will pay another AI agent in Bitcoin. Until then, the clearest transaction I found is a miner selling compute to an AI company. This just seems to be another example of child sacrifice in exchange for power and control while trying to sell the public that it is good for them. We will have to wait and see if Big Bitcoin's compliance's defiance strategy will actually yield NGU or if morphing and prolonging the legacy system will just continue to bring disaster down on us all. This is Buster Cherry of the Cherry Report signing off.

2:49Rod Palmer Welcome back to the Bugle Weekly. This we're recording on September 28. We are two days removed from October.

2:59Rod Palmer Now if you've been paying attention, Big Bitcoin is promised to bring October back this year, and price action of the past few weeks has been very bullish. So people are excited that the bull market may be coming, the four years cycle theory

3:16Rod Palmer may be broken and it's part of a larger a larger trend it feels like and we talked about this last week it feels like the the the key fade, the storyline, the script is it's developed, it's progressing up to what feels like some sort of turning point, some sort of culmination

3:37Rod Palmer is is coming soon, whether that's October, the bull market. We've got the midterms in just over one month, which is contributing to a lot of the energy and focus of the FABE,

3:52Rod Palmer the past, and it will only get worse the next month, you know, we've there's there's the, you know, escalation in the war with Russia in Europe. There's escalation talks about the war

4:07Rod Palmer in Iran, Europe, NATO, our NATO allies are starting to be more involved in the the attempts to open the Strait Of Hormuz. The United States just Trump got Greenland. They it will not be the fifty first state, but it is the federal government will have more power and authority

4:28Rod Palmer and ability to do whatever it wants in Greenland more so than it has to do in any individual state, actually, in The United States, which is interesting. There's a terrorist plot, false flags, some people are calling it uncovered in The UK. It feels like we're accelerating to a point. It is not like that for a few months, but I I I guess maybe the focus is is that turning point, the midterms. Do you think that the world is about to be hinged on the outcome

4:57Rod Palmer of the the November United States elections in the midterms?

5:01Richard Greaser No. I just think it accelerates. I I feel like things are almost paused until it happens

5:06Rod Palmer After the midterms Do you feel like we'll get, like, do you feel like we'll get maybe a a respite some rest, some time to take off for the holidays after after the midterms? Do you think that the clarity of political, you know, the regime the next few years will will be bullish for Bitcoin?

5:24Richard Greaser So I think there's two questions there. You're you're asking, are we gonna sit back and experience some euphoria for positive price action during the holidays? As far as respite from monitoring the situation, I I I feel like the happenings during those times are gonna be very

5:45Richard Greaser chaotic. And so there's gonna be a lot there's gonna be a lot to podcast about going through the end of the year is my prediction. I think things like yeah. Go ahead. Well, I think things have kind of felt like they've been in a holding pattern to some some extent where it's almost this this cyclical, repeatable

6:04Richard Greaser pattern of it it feels like Cathay, but there there's missiles flying and and shit's blowing up. But it's, you know, the Strait Of Hermeus is is closed. The market's down. Strait Of Hermeus is open. Markets pump. It's back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And, you know, there's been some escalations with the with the Houthis and,

6:28Richard Greaser you know, some minor developments, but I I I think following the midterms, there there's a lot of speculation of of further escalations, because this is this kind of it as far as the the future of, Trump's term of as far as there being no accountability after this Right.

6:50Rod Palmer It it it feels like I mean, with you've got fuel prices, I think they're at record highs, especially if you're diesel. You've got a diesel shortage crisis. So just an overall energy crisis, which, again, we talked about recently. You've got you know,

7:07Rod Palmer it feels like whether it's Trump and his political situation or just the Doomer Boomers and their emotional situation, they need they people have been talking about the reckoning coming for republic the neocons who betrayed

7:23Rod Palmer America First MAGA supporters from 2024. They're, like, a reckoning coming in the midterms. Since beginning of this year, every time Donald Trump has done something

7:36Rod Palmer that they don't like they say, just wait to the midterms. Anytime a European or Canadian liberal, somebody with TDS like Mike Barack even, is crashing out about Trump, they they took solace in

7:52Rod Palmer just wait for the midterms. It feels like people whether or not the midterms are astrologically or in terms of fate whether there's anything significant about election day People want it and need it to be significant. I mean, this is why Donald Trump

8:11Rod Palmer is taking desperate action to gain support before the midterms. I mean, he's ramping up support for Israel. He's ramping up, you know, The war. He he's giving the neocons what they want. He's trying to demonstrate that he's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the economy is fine. And

8:30Rod Palmer whether so the emotional psyche of people around the world if they're all it's like what's the what's the term? The anticipation of inflation is oftentimes

8:43Rod Palmer what makes the inflation happen. The anticipation of some sort of culmination in November may lead to it actually happening. So what

8:54Rod Palmer what are do you have any predictions for what to look for through the rest of 2026?

9:01Richard Greaser Well, this is the this is the beauty of democracy is that the the populace never has to take accountability because there's always the next election that they have to look forward to. That they think that they'll you just have to convince them that their voice will be heard, that they'll be able to flex their opinions or, you know, whatever,

9:22Richard Greaser you know, till the next one. So, you know, this one will happen. There'll be a bunch of about, impeachment or whatever. Just like last time, Donald Trump is sitting there, you know, kinda chuckling, like, oh, yeah. They're not gonna get very far with this because I I got my Jewish lawyers. They'll have to contend with Al Dershowitz or, you know, whoever the current Jewish lawyer is, and so he'll sit there and chuckle. I I I think there'll be a lot of political, you know, the the people that are upset,

9:52Richard Greaser they'll participate in the midterms. They won't get what they want. And then, Mike Brock and and other folks will come out and and be discussing how they have to wait until the next presidential election to be able to do anything. And this is, you know, one of the dangers of getting sucked into the the kfabe is that you you lose all agency

10:13Richard Greaser of just by just waiting till the next election. That's that's all you got going for you. It's, you know, every two years, you'll have an opportunity to not have your voice be heard. But I I think what's going to happen after the midterms, the KFA will get really loud, and it'll get into a fever pitch. But I think we're we're what we're really starting to see is we're starting to see the turnover of the the boomers losing their their grip on power and you've got younger people in. Like, there there there's this trend which is happening. You know, the the politicians

10:49Richard Greaser have to reflect the culture. And so you see this trend of of people like you like who are the most noteworthy politicians right now? It's not Thomas Massey. It's not people crashing out on Israel. It's Nancy Mace, Slower and Bobart, and it's AOC. It's the it's the individuals that are essentially replicating

11:09Richard Greaser some of the tactics that only fans models use. So they're they're they're going and, they're they're not necessarily a 100% acting like only fans models. But do do you know that Nancy Mace has a podcast? Have you listened to that? I've I've seen

11:26Rod Palmer the the the videos and the still images on the timeline. I haven't actually taken time

11:31Richard Greaser to listen to it. I listened to about, you know, two minutes of it. That's about as much as I, wanted to give it. But, yeah, I just think we're we're gonna see the the like, a lot of people are gonna have whiplash because the the broccoli haircuts are starting to get into and control the the larger zeitgeist. So many others

11:53Rod Palmer Yeah. Yes. Exactly. Exactly. They the the the broccoli haircuts are gaining control over the narrative. And you said what you said was that that politicians have to reflect the culture, and I I agree with that. I would reword it, and I would say that, especially in a democracy, that politicians necessarily

12:17Rod Palmer reflect the culture be it because that is they're a mirror to society. And what we're gonna see in the next Congress that begins in January, we're gonna start seeing

12:32Rod Palmer Congressman look Jester Maxing, and Looksmaxing, and twerking, you know, in the halls of Congress. People are going to be tuned in and watching C SPAN again because you're gonna have the circus

12:48Rod Palmer going on. The bread and circuses are coming to the Capitol. And you're gonna have, like, the you know the meme of the of the guy surrounded, there's hunt the dozens of people jumping on top of him, he's grabbing the mic, and he's saying, would. Because he's he's saying he would hope he would have sex with, you know, whatever the post was, whatever the woman was.

13:07Rod Palmer Nancy Mace, AOC are gonna be twerking on at the podium and, you know, some clavicular looking ass congressman is gonna be yelling wood into the microphone. And this is gonna be broadcast live on C SPAN. And this will people will say that, you know, this is the end of the empire, this is late capitalism, yada yada, but

13:31Rod Palmer inevitably, things will continue to go up. Life will go on. Politics will go on. We will continue to send money to Ukraine and Israel, and we will continue to fight these wars indefinitely even with the bread and circuses

13:48Rod Palmer in congress. This congress doesn't approve budgets anymore. Congress doesn't appropriate funds anymore. Congress is is, at this point, just it's two it's two chambers of Kayfabe. You have Senate Kayfabe and House Kayfabe. And we already have Kayfabe in the White House.

14:08Rod Palmer But what you talked about impeachment. I think that a lot of people are anticipating the impeachment process of like going after Trump, bogging them down if the Democrats take Congress this year. But I think if everybody's anticipating it, there's a good chance that means it won't happen.

14:27Rod Palmer So if you have trunked arrangement syndrome, if you're Mike Brock right now and you're and you you're you've got your advent calendar and you're eating chocolates, counting down the days of the of October, totally not even paying attention to the October price action, waiting for the midterms for Donald Trump to have his reckoning. What are the crash outs gonna be like in 2000 in 2027 if Democrats do take control and do not impeach Donald Trump? That's a good question. And it's it's it's may be a rhetorical question. Because I don't know, but I know it. I I I anticipate the crash outs to be incredible

15:04Richard Greaser if they don't get their impeachment. Well, I don't I don't know if they'll be all that incredible because what I think will happen is that the war in Europe and the war in The Middle East will accelerate, and that will be where most of the attention is diverted. And, I don't know. I I I think if if you have kids that are of fighting age right now, it's probably good to

15:30Richard Greaser send them to the gym, have them, eating a bunch of steak and and getting prepped prepped for war because that seems to be the direction that things are trending. There's a recent trend, but yeah. Or get them really good at drone piloting, like, get them a DJI Mavic and, you know, have them flying around the neighborhood, you know, experimenting with, you know, random stuff like that, building building robots and and and putting AR fifteens on it. Like, just get get them prepped for their future of the battlefield.

16:01Rod Palmer Right. I think I saw I saw Mada Madoc's post the other day that he would be winding down his art, you know, and sell whatever he would sell, what he already had, and then he would be taking some time off. He didn't say what he was moving on to do beyond art,

16:19Rod Palmer but I've seen speculation in the group chat that he is ramping up a three d printing, drone business. So Mayex will be three d printing, you know, one way drones for anticipation of The United States invading Canada.

16:35Rod Palmer So I guess we'll have to wait to hear more about that. He talked about children of fighting age, and that's a good term to maybe lock in here on here for a minute. The term fighting age. What does the term fighting age, like, what is that range? Because we've seen them US military in preparation or the midterms and what comes after, raise the age of being able to join the army by like up up to like 42. So now you've got fighting age is what 12 to 42? That's like 30 a thirty year window and you've got recent trends of people into their twenties and thirties, especially men, who still live at home. And I think there's gonna be a lot of boomer and gen x parents

17:18Rod Palmer who are you know, we talk about, like, war is difficult because people don't wanna send their children to go die in war. But I think we have a generation of young adults who live at home with their parents, and their parents are finally ready to get them out of the house. And if the only way to get them out of the house is to send them to Iran, I think there's gonna be more appetite for it. I agree.

17:40Richard Greaser I mean, technically, the ages fighting ages, I I would say it's a selective service documented ages between 18 and 25 or 18 and 26.

17:51Richard Greaser You'd probably say younger, like 16 to 26. As we've seen in in the Ukraine war and probably or or soon to see in Russia is that the ages can expand rather quickly in that regard. And so I think if you're older than 26, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're safe,

18:11Richard Greaser especially when a lot of the populace right now is like, their balls are too small and their testosterone is is incredibly low. And I think that if they were go to go into military training, they'd they'd probably sprain their ankles and be unable to complete it because their bodies are not very fit. But that doesn't necessarily mean, like, there's a guarantee. In in Russia,

18:38Richard Greaser their basic training right now is consistent with oftentimes two weeks of training. So they're they're they go and they they clean their drill instructor's car and mansion for about two weeks and, you know, run laps around it. And, then they're handed a a a weapon and told to go kill NATO special forces pretending to be Ukrainians in Ukraine. And,

19:03Richard Greaser so I I mean, these are just the the the real sad possibilities of war. It's, you know, the the crash outs I I think a lot of people, at least this is the first time in my lifetime that we're we're going into a climate of, like, actual mobilized war. And it is very different than semi war, semi peacetime,

19:27Richard Greaser where things like free speech and dissent are tolerated.

19:32Rod Palmer It's Yeah. I mean, the CIA director in the in the highly publicized he he made that trip to Moscow a few weeks ago, very brief one. And and in that news cycle the CIA director stated

19:49Rod Palmer that the average lifespan of a new Russian soldier on the front line in the Ukraine war was like twenty minutes. So you got, like, two weeks of boot camp. Your two weeks of boot camp is significantly longer than the amount of time you'll spend on the battlefield for the average Russian going to the front lines if those numbers are to be believed. And that's that's a little unsettling

20:13Rod Palmer if you're being sent to the front lines of Ukraine. Now if you're being sent to the front lines of Iran, it's a little the landscape's a little different. There's Patriot missiles there. The drones seem to be more focused on energy infrastructure,

20:29Rod Palmer not so much on troops. But it's either way, if this escalates, you can, you can assume that there's, like, new warfare that were hit with with a lot of drones, a lot of artificial intelligence. I mean, the the Houthis were using THWAD, the Vibe Code targeting missiles. That it's gonna be brutal. Like, you're gonna get out there in the battlefield, and it's gonna be over before you know it. You're gonna get one shot at literally. And when Donald Trump took over in 2025, one of the first things they did after they renamed the Gulf Of Mexico to Gulf Of America was they made it so the trans people

21:07Rod Palmer could no longer serve in the military, which presents an opportunity or a an ultimatum or a decision. Many young people, many broccoli haircuts, are gonna have to make a decision. They're gonna have

21:21Rod Palmer to look deep in themselves and find the kayfabe, or or do they want to go to war, or do they wanna be trans? Do they wanna go to war, or do they wanna chop their dick off? Because those may be the only two options for people, like you said, under the age of 26 in The United States. Do you live at home with your parents? Do you have normal sized balls? If you if you meet the otherwise

21:45Rod Palmer the qualifications, if you're in, you know, if you're over your head in student loan debt or Klarna debt from getting too much DoorDash the only way to pay it off, the only way to escape may be to go fight in the war, but if you don't want to do that the only way to avoid it is to become trans. Do you think that people will take that that option? Do you think that people will cut their dick off and and become become trans to avoid serving overseas?

22:16Richard Greaser Well, I think we we've had this discussion on the on the podcast before, and and the place that we got stuck on is we don't understand fully the military's like, what their status for what it means to be trans. Is it do you have to cut your dick off? Do you have to be on some sort of hormone replacement? Do you just have to have, like, pro you know, the the wrong pronouns in in your LinkedIn? What it it fully means. But either way, regardless of whatever those requirements are, I I do think a large portion of the population, when they look at what modern warfare looks like, they they will opt in for being trans. You know, historically,

22:58Richard Greaser individuals used to dodge the draft by moving to Canada, but that has become so unattractive that I think many American fighting age males would rather transition to to being a woman, regardless of what the requirements, whether that that means cutting your dick off, whether that means, be being on hormone replacements, whether that means getting breast implants, or whether that just means changing the pronouns

23:26Richard Greaser in your LinkedIn. I think I don't know. If you were faced with the choices of getting one shotted on the front lines of Ukraine or changing the pronouns in your, LinkedIn, which would you choose?

23:40Rod Palmer Or moving to Canada? Oh, I'd rather cut my dick off to Mavis Canada. I'd rather die in Iran to Mavis Canada. So that's not an option. I think that this decision, like many many others, is a factor. If you so while you were talking, I looked up what the actual regulations are for trans beings serving in the military. And according to the regulation, it's any any individuals for this, stands for new recruits, new new GIs.

24:09Rod Palmer Any individual with a who identifies as transgender or has a medical history of gender dysphoria is disqualified from serving. So that, you know, if the mobilization

24:22Rod Palmer ramps up, that may change. They may loosen those restrictions and say, listen, if you still have your balls and their normal size, you're qualified. Doesn't you have to shave your head, doesn't matter what you identify as, or your medical history has been given a a waiver of approval, or maybe it won't. Maybe the people who got a medical diagnosis with gender dysphoria have, whether it was divine foresight or not,

24:49Rod Palmer to do this early enough to keep them out of the battlefield. But I think the decision comes down to, like, if you're a man and you already have children, you have an heir to your to your family name, you may be willing

25:05Rod Palmer to cut your cut cut your dick off and stay home to help raise your family. So maybe maybe what we will see is a lot of younger men going out and trying to find a a wife, trying to find a woman to have kids. We have to jump start this, like, keep Americans having kids, not just Americans, a lot of people Having kids to keep the population going. Elon Musk does not smell the time. So if but if you have kids, you know, what maybe the choice is easier. Maybe you die for patriotism,

25:35Rod Palmer or maybe you you cut your dick off for the kayfabe because you already have kids and it doesn't matter anymore. You've made the sacrifice necessary to keep your bloodline going. But for those of the incels, the the people who don't have kids, the choice is much tougher for them. Do they think they can survive

25:55Rod Palmer against the drones in Iran, the hypersonic missiles, or the Russians? Maybe. Maybe if you think you can, like, you and your friends could take on a gorilla that you know that meme, maybe they add the confidence to go. I don't know. Maybe they just cut their dick off and hope they can adopt. But I think it's a fact I think it depends on your situation, how much debt you're in. Do you already have kids? Do you have a family? Are you depressed? But I I know I know I'm not moving to Canada. Well, it makes you really think

26:22Richard Greaser a little bit more critically about why so many Western countries have been allowing for mass immigration, specifically of military age men, into their countries. Because these individuals are pretty convenient to conscript and mobilize in these types of scenarios.

26:41Richard Greaser And and you can you can have the the local populace, the, the individuals that were born in your country, the

26:49Rod Palmer The natives.

26:50Richard Greaser Yeah. The the natives population. Yeah. They they they can become trans, and they can let the immigrants fight the war for

26:60Rod Palmer them. I mean, it's just kind of already happening anyway. Right? Like, the native population has been disproportionately becoming trans while the immigrants are coming in and, starting families. And

27:15Rod Palmer this is a good point because this is also convenient for both The United States and especially Western Europe for different reasons. But now they have a solution to the immigrant problem.

27:30Rod Palmer It's it's very difficult, even if you had the will and the political capital and the the ICE agents necessary to deport all the illegal immigrants or wherever the ICE agent version is in Europe. They they even I don't they probably don't even have them if you look at the stats. But now they can conscript them all, send them to Russia or Iran, and they they can say, listen.

27:55Rod Palmer If you survive your tour of duty on the front lines and you make it back, you can be given amnesty. You are now a patriot. You have earned your right to be a citizen of this country. If you don't, well, you know, you know, whatever. But it'll be interesting because Europeans will have to probably send most of their

28:17Rod Palmer or you, you would think they would send most of them to Ukraine. But it would be interesting to send these guys, some of these European immigrants back to fight in the Middle East. And it's like a Muslim versus Muslim war. And they may not be willing to do that, but I think that it's the ultimatum they're kind of given is, like, you wanna be English, you wanna be French, you wanna be Italian. Well,

28:41Rod Palmer that means you have to go fight ISIS, you have to go fight the Persians, the Iranians. And that'll be maybe a tough decision for some of those guys. Or would they or would they revolt instead of going to fight other Muslims? Would they revolt and launch war in their new home countries? Because if they're gonna be sent off to have a twenty second survival rate on the front lines, maybe they just maybe they just launch war and they burn down, you know,

29:09Rod Palmer the Buckingham Palace. I

29:12Richard Greaser don't think that they're necessarily going to revolt, and I don't think that they're gonna be sent to war necessarily in the Middle East because I think the, the Russian theater is probably gonna be where the biggest expansion is, I think the Middle East is gonna just

29:31Rod Palmer Unless we actually invade Iran, which is on the table, I suppose. They can't straighten us out with CAFE negotiations,

29:43Rod Palmer and there's a land invasion of Iran. But you're right. You're right about that. That is where the fear and that's where the most human bodies are being sent to fight is the is the Russian Ukraine theater. But one one question I have or maybe you maybe you've got a phone on this is we're moving to this warfare, especially United States, where it's like all our war is done by B2 bombers, fighter jets, cruise missiles, the Navy, drones, whatever, there's not as much need for

30:14Rod Palmer people.

30:15Richard Greaser So I I'm I'm curious, like, why do we need so many soldiers unless were you brought out of cruise missiles? Well, I think part of the reason why is, you know, the need for mobilization is to keep the the clubs occupied because if they're not, you know, fighting a foreign enemy, they're gonna be possibly fighting a domestic enemy. But, you know, a big reason, you know, which I haven't really heard anybody talk about, which I think is kind of important to understand is, you know, the the importance of this

30:46Richard Greaser military artillery autonomous warfare is that warfare for a long time has been a great

30:55Richard Greaser way to launder money. And when you have expensive missiles just being fought, fired off everywhere, it's a great way to to use and and repurpose dollars back to yourself. And Yeah. So I don't I don't think that that's going to change. But, you know, like, having having the floods fight the war, I think, you know, it has a effect on the populace where it feels a little bit more real. And, like, one of the things that Americans, and I think Europeans have somewhat gotten accustomed to this

31:26Richard Greaser as well is these most of the wars that have been fought and and participated participated in have been distant wars. And, like, the the economic repercussions somewhat have been not entirely felt. And, you know, when you have your neighbors going off and dying and and you see, you know, the soldiers show up on the the doorstep and, you know, Billy from down the street was just, you know,

31:54Richard Greaser killed in some foreign country. Like, it it feels much more real and and personal in that situation when, you know, the the rations are are happening. You can't buy more than five gallons of gas at the gas station, and things are more expensive. It it feels much more real. And so there there's a purpose of having the pubs fight the war even if it's just robots killing each other. Now the one bright side

32:18Rod Palmer for Europeans to look forward to, if they do end up being sent to the Middle East, although like I you said, I think most of them are going to, Eastern Europe to fight Russia, is that the Middle Eastern bases have all been built and maintained by The United States. So if you're European and you get sent at least before you die

32:38Rod Palmer fighting Iran, you will have air conditioning. The bases in The Middle East do have air conditioning. So you will have some creature comforts available to you. And, you know, it makes me wonder, like, where does where does what what role does Canada have to play in all of this? And I think that despite what maybe they're strategizing for, maybe what people may predict,

33:03Rod Palmer I think that mostly Canadians are gonna and their their choice isn't gonna be trans or die in the on the battlefield. It's gonna be medical assisted suicide or die in the battlefield. I think most Canadians will just choose the pod. I think the pod manufacturers in Canada, the money laundering will funnel through those. They're gonna need a lot of made pods, and that's how they will keep their economy afloat

33:30Rod Palmer during World War three by killing all their middle or military aged males in the maid pots. Potentially. Or or it might just be the

33:39Richard Greaser that's what you do with the women that are crashing out that don't have, men to marry that

33:44Rod Palmer are are They're already given that. Yeah. I think the tandem is already sending hysterical women, like, you know, cat women to the maid pods when they go in for, you know, trying to get a trying to get an increase in their Zoloft prescription.

33:58Richard Greaser Yeah.

33:59Rod Palmer Wow. Well, you know, all of this, it sounds a little bit dire. It's, it's, it may be it is. I don't know. It it's not meant to be demoralizing. It just is what it is. And you might be thinking to yourself, what the hell am I gonna do? You might be thinking to yourself, what decision am I gonna make? Am I am I am I gonna cut my dick off or am I gonna go to Iran? That is totally these are all personal individual decisions that you have to talk to your wife about, talk to your pastor, talk to Chad Chickett, whoever you trust. But what is important is your mentality

34:35Rod Palmer over the next few years. And if you're familiar with NBA basketball, you're you're almost definitely familiar with Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant had the Mamba mentality, and it allowed him

34:50Rod Palmer to overcome credible obstacles to rise to the top, to be the best, and to sort of have a very prolific career and be remembered forever

35:04Rod Palmer and to survive. And I think that all of us need to consider need to cultivate the Mossad

35:13Rod Palmer mentality. Benjamin Netanyahu posted on X on Friday last week, we are going to win. We have no other choice. That is the Mossad mentality. That is the you don't have to glaze BB. You don't have to become a Zionist. You don't have to fly the the Israeli flag or take money from AIPAC.

35:34Rod Palmer But you need to you need to have the Mossad mentality of we are going to win. I am going to survive. I am going to do what it takes because I have no other choice. I'm not gonna get one shot by a drone or cut my dick off. I'm going to survive. I will put bombs in cold cards, bombs in cell phones. I will do whatever it takes because whether or not you like the Israeli government's

36:02Rod Palmer strategy, whether you like them, whether you think they're moral, whether you think that they are evil, whatever you think of them, they're surviving, they're winning. And if you don't have that mentality to be the best and to win, in in the frontier, in where we're going,

36:20Rod Palmer the next few years, you'll just be dead. You'll either be dead, or you'll have cut your dick off and you'll never have your bloodline ends with you. If you don't like those two choices, you have no other choice, except to win. You need the Mossad mentality. Every day you need to wake up and think like a Mossad agent. Act like a Mossad agent. Go in spaces and participate

36:43Rod Palmer like a Mossad agent. Interact in your group chats, like a Mossad agent. Host on the timeline, like a Mossad agent. Go to the gym, like a Mossad agent. Train with your your your rifle and your your handgun, like a Mossad agent. You don't have to kiss the wall but you need the mentality. And if you if this is difficult for you, you have to do whatever it takes to get yourself in the in the frame of mind. You have you have to get off zero Mossad mentality.

37:11Rod Palmer You have to get rid of your Israeli derangement syndrome, your your your BD derangement syndrome, and you have to adopt the Mossad mentality because at the end of all this debt,

37:23Richard Greaser Mossad may be the only the only thing that's left standing. It's pretty clear that the the stakes are high. And, you know, I think one of the things that, many podcasters, many podcast listeners have have done is they they go into the state of disassociation in which they're they're very disconnected with the the idea that the things that they're talking about are real and have real consequences. They're talking about the unraveling of the the financial system. They're talking about the the great reset. They're talking about the, you know, the surveillance state. They're talking about, you know, all these conspiracy theories. And

37:58Richard Greaser they get so caught up in it and they forget that, like, this is, you know, real life. Like, that this stuff is happening. And you you see it in their in their behaviors of, you know, the the things that they're doing. You know, they're talking about, you know, the food supply being garbage. They're, you know, eating the garbage food. You know, they're they're not behaving like

38:21Richard Greaser the the stuff that, you know, they're predicting is gonna happen is is gonna play out. You you look at a a guy like Marty Bent, for example. You know, he's talk he's having all these boomers, these these doomer boomers who, I I think are a little bit hyperbolic, but he has them on the podcast. He's always talking about the surveillance state and, you know, all these things, how society is gonna fall apart or whatever. And, you know, he moves to the suburbs of Philadelphia. You know, it's like you're kind of at at at ground zero almost for, like, becoming a zombie apocalypse. But what is what is very real

38:59Richard Greaser is that you're not gonna get anywhere unless you're ready to play to win. If you're shooting like, what what is the purpose of being a pot Bitcoin podcaster if if you're not playing to win? If you're not playing to usher in, you know, a a different perspective and to actually have influence in in the world.

39:18Richard Greaser If you're just, you know, preaching to a bunch of fat plebs that are gonna accomplish nothing other than buying trinkets. Like, what what is the purpose of that? I guess it's entertaining. But no. I mean, the the Mossad mentality is about understanding the rules of the game and being the best at it. Waking up in the morning with grit and determination of it doesn't it doesn't mean

39:40Richard Greaser like, I I I wouldn't suggest playing ball with Mossad because those are some dangerous people. But you you yourself, you know, can study them and become a dangerous person yourself. Right. It go ahead. Well, I mean, there's there's no value in being a docile, pudgy, pleb in in the first turn. Like, if you're not dangerous, if you're if you're the type of individual that is going to sit on the sidelines and complain that other people aren't fixing the problems for you, then you really have no role in in the future. I I we should not have

40:16Rod Palmer to tell Bitcoin podcasters, and Bitcoin podcast listeners, and plebs. We should not have to tell them that time is scarce, your time is scarce.

40:29Rod Palmer If you're you have to decide how you're going to use your scarce time. Are you going to sit around complaining, blaming everything on Israel,

40:41Rod Palmer kicking your boogers, looking at what slot? Or are you going to optimize your routine, optimize your time to be the best and to accomplish something of value, either for yourself or for a bigger cause. Starting a Bitcoin podcast to usher in NASA adoption

41:01Rod Palmer is the equivalent of picking your boogers and looking at pep slot. It's going nowhere. Part of the mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess mess

41:20Rod Palmer a Bitcoiner who adopts the Mossad mentality is understanding the purity tests are KFED. They're not real. If you if your excuse for why you're not out there

41:32Rod Palmer achieving something, becoming why you're not if your excuse for why you're not building your career, your podcast, your enterprise to be the next, you know, official podcaster for Tether is a is that is that

41:48Rod Palmer you don't wanna fail a purity test? That's an excuse. If your excuse is, I don't wanna win because I don't wanna do what it takes to win. I don't wanna disappoint people doing what it takes to win. I don't wanna piss somebody off trying to do what I have to do to survive.

42:06Rod Palmer Then you might as well just go get in the suicide pod. You might as well just cut your dick off. You might as well end your bloodline right now. Because if all you wanna do is spend the rest of your time kicking your burgers, looking at plebslop, and complaining about how somebody else is not gonna like it if you do what it takes to win? Evolution is selecting against you. Civilization doesn't need you. If you even have a family, they probably don't need you. Nobody needs you. The the Bitcoin Bitcoin does Bitcoin doesn't care. Bitcoin doesn't need you. So what are you doing? It's a good time to to to wake up and and and live with purpose of,

42:42Richard Greaser being needed, being an essential person of actually having something

42:45Rod Palmer valuable to offer the world. If you want to live in a value for value society, you have to ask yourself what value you bring to society. Because if you don't bring any value to society, you're not getting any back. Just go to the pod. Just close the pod, put in your headphones, put on another episode of whatever Webslaw podcast you listen to, and go to sleep. Who who are some,

43:11Richard Greaser podcasters that you think have exemplified the the Mossad mentality? I'd I I would say probably Natalie Burnell would be number one on my list right now. Natalie Burnell is a great example.

43:24Rod Palmer Does not allow the the Pledslop peanut gallery to alter her decision to alter her strategy.

43:34Rod Palmer You know, if if Kobe Bryant would wake up at 4AM to go to the gym and shoot 1,000 free throws every single day as part of his Mamba mentality. Natalie Grinnell wakes up at 4AM and does 1,000 ad pitches for digital credit every morning. So when she does it on the show, when she does a pitch for digital credit

43:56Rod Palmer live, for strike live, it's crisp. It's perfectly efficient. There's no wasted umms. I don't know. I don't know. She is out there shilling digital credit because that is for means to an end.

44:12Rod Palmer And if you don't like it, fine. But if you but it but if if you don't like it and so you decide that you're gonna spend the next week posting about how Natalie pronounced just some PR show blah blah blah. Well, you know what? Being a PR show is how she had the orange wedding. Michael Sailor came to her wedding. Who's coming to your wedding? Are you even having a wedding? Are you married?

44:36Rod Palmer Where are you in life? Have some self awareness. No. I think that she's a great example. I think that Peter McCormick is a great example. Peter McCormick retired from Bitcoin podcasting at the Pico top of Bitcoin podcast relevance Bitcoin podcast

44:55Rod Palmer download popularity and he moved on to being a kind of like the Nick Fuentes of England And the older fatter Nick Flint has of England. And he's striving. I mean, he's he's strengthening his community. Peter McCormick is doing what it takes to win. He doesn't give a fuck about the Plebs disappointment in them. And then a dentist Porter is another example. He doesn't have, he's on a podcast, but

45:19Rod Palmer you get what I'm saying. Yeah. There there there's there's good examples out there. And the good examples, if you can't think of them, think about, especially if you're a booger pla a booger picking pleb. The good examples are probably all the podcast podcasters you hate the most.

45:37Rod Palmer It may maybe your derangement syndrome towards Donald Trump. Your derangement syndrome towards the broader concept of Israel, your derangement syndrome towards Natalie Brunel, your derangement syndrome towards Pierre Mckayadi, David Bailey, whatever. Maybe the the derangement syndrome

45:57Rod Palmer is really just some sort of deep seated resentment of yourself inside of you. You don't have what it takes to do what it takes to win at all costs. And if you don't have what it takes to win at all costs, it might be because you don't have enough Bitcoin and you can't afford it. Well, I think it's probably less about

46:16Richard Greaser having enough Bitcoin. I think it is just more about the willingness to actually get in the game and put anything at risk. Many individuals, like, they being the peanut gallery and issuing the purity test from the sidelines is a way to

46:33Richard Greaser it's like a self protection strategy of you can project all of your insecurities, all of your failings in life onto other people. And instead of taking any accountability,

46:49Richard Greaser looking at yourself in the mirror and and and looking to to grow or change, you can just point fingers at the people around you. And, you know, like, Justin Belcher is the archetype of this individual,

47:02Richard Greaser of the of the purity issue purity test issuing pudgy pleb sitting and, criticizing Natalie Brunell or, you know, whoever else. And, you know, it's not to say that these individuals shouldn't face any sort of criticism

47:18Richard Greaser or whatever. But when you are not offering anything of value and you're not playing to win and you're just part of the complaining class, if anything, you're doing more to solidify those individuals like Natalie Burnell in in the zeitgeist, in

47:37Richard Greaser the halls of power and influence. But

47:40Rod Palmer All you're doing all you're doing is creating a a cont a very stark contrast between yourself and the person you're criticizing, and no matter what you say or do, everybody who sees it sees the contrast.

47:56Richard Greaser You're essentially framing the winners and and losers in the conversation and you are taking the mantle of being the loser. That's that's essentially what what Justin Belcher in in the whole plumb uproar around

48:12Richard Greaser Luca Mechanic was. They they frame the the winners and losers. Whether whether you like the individuals that we're discussing or not is irrelevant. There's a there's a couple of things that I wanted to talk about before we wrap this one up. There was a party at PubKey, the the data center party,

48:33Richard Greaser with the Bitcoin Policy Institute in Washington, DC. I am being told by attendees that there was a child sacrifice to Moloch that happened there. The security was really tight. There were protesters outside. I saw some videos coming out of people giving Pebslop top game points as far as why they support data centers. It was a controversial event. Shinobi crashed out about it.

48:60Richard Greaser You got any thoughts on that

49:02Rod Palmer situation, Rob? Yeah, yeah. To clarify, the sacrifice to Moloch, that's the new Moloch is the new Claude model by Anthropic, which is allegedly a step function improvement

49:17Rod Palmer from the from the Mythos level model and people were sat you know, Dario, CEO of Anthropic said, like, the compute cost to be able to fully harness the capabilities of Molok,

49:31Rod Palmer are gonna be the price is gonna be very high. The tokens are gonna be very expensive. Companies individually have to make extreme sacrifices to have access to Molok, and he wasn't kidding. Then he at the fob key, they they sacrificed three children to Molok.

49:49Rod Palmer They were able to Rob Hamilton used the compute that they got out of it to to scan, like, four different open source wallets, to find security vulnerabilities that people didn't even think theoretically could exist, but they found them.

50:05Rod Palmer There should be more of this. But crashing out about AI and crashing out about data centers, this is this goes hand in hand with what we've just been talking about. This is not

50:20Rod Palmer the Mossad mentality. By criticizing and crashing out about AI in data centers, you are, like I said, creating a contrast of hyper efficient, super intelligent, highly valuable, productive

50:34Rod Palmer technology. The contrast is you to that. Elmer crashing out about AI. Well, now AI can write club slot,

50:44Rod Palmer poetic philosophical club slot in the snap of a finger. The owner used to take weeks to do this, and Swan Bitcoin gave them for it. They don't need them anymore. If you're crashing out about AI,

50:57Rod Palmer it's probably because you recognize internally, somewhere, whether you're conscious of it or not, that it is making you obsolete. The Mossad mentality is understanding that you can do and will do whatever it takes to not be made obsolete by CHATCPT.

51:16Rod Palmer And for some people, that's not a big deal. They know that they're always gonna be more valuable than CHATCPT. But for many people, especially CLEPs, they don't feel like they can keep up with grok much less ChatGPT or Claude. And so they they want to stand in the way of new data center builds, they want to fight it, they want to criticize it and crash out and blame it for everything. But let me tell you,

51:44Rod Palmer they're not gonna stop building data centers or new models or charging for compute because because it hurts your feelings. You're gonna get steamrolled right over. And so a lot of people were crashing out about the PubKey data center party

51:59Rod Palmer And they've been leaving mean reviews, one star reviews on the PUBG, Google reviews, and they did call in the data center guy, like party goers, nerds into weebs. Again, this is, you can't be, you can't be afraid to stand up for what's right, which is being a data center simp, just because it's gonna people are gonna criticize you, and you're gonna fail purity tests. You have to stand up for what's right, even if it's kinda dorky, even if it's just clusters of GPUs being built on farmland. That's the right thing to do for the first turning.

52:33Rod Palmer And being insecure about it because trolls on the internet call you a dweeb. Again, just go just go get in the pod and go to sleep.

52:45Richard Greaser That's that's not necessarily the takeaway that I I have from this, is that you can't criticize data centers. But, yeah, I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna crash out, at least make it an effective crash out. Make it a first turning crash out. Like, this is where, I think a lot of people are getting very confused, and they're they're having very ineffective

53:08Richard Greaser responses to things. And I think it's important to think critically take a page from the Zoomers. Like, one of the things that we went on, Walker's podcast recently, and one of the things that Rod was pointing out is

53:24Richard Greaser Gen z knows how to fully capitalize on the crash outs. And, you know, one notable individual that has been doing this very effectively, probably the most effective individual crashing out

53:39Richard Greaser on Bitcoin Twitter right now is Marsh Pitsporters. And if you're gonna crash out, you know, capitalize on it, monetize it, amplify it in a way where internet who has no clue what's going on, it's it's very it's a very tactical crash out that actually has a purpose. And, this this is one of the problems with many of the people that are crashing out about data centers is they just look like deranged, Internet individuals that that don't really have any rhyme or reason to what

54:10Richard Greaser they are are doing. No no stated goal, no direction other than to whine and complain. It's it's unless you have a very clear goal of, like, how to use your crash out productively, you're not going to do anything

54:28Richard Greaser but solidify the the institution or individual that you're crashing out against. It it solidify their power and control. It brings legitimacy to them. And so that's that's my response on it. You don't necessarily have to be, you know, jumping

54:44Richard Greaser up and down and and joining and supporting all the individuals that are, you know, sacrificing children to Moloch, whether it be at PUMPK DC or whether it be at Bohemian Grove in the summer, where wherever it is. You, like, you don't have to necessarily join those people, but But if you're gonna dissent, dissent effectively.

55:03Rod Palmer This just more old, just rewind a couple of years, 2023, early two thousand twenty four. You had purity test maximalists

55:15Rod Palmer crashing out about the Bitcoin ETF. Now the Bitcoin ETF was gonna be bad for Bitcoin. How effective was people were people crashing out about the ETF at stopping a Bitcoin ETF? 0% effective. There's like 27 different Bitcoin ETFs and then now we got paper Bitcoin companies left and right. People crash out about that too. There's still more

55:39Rod Palmer launching every single day. I'm not saying that criticism of the ETF for paper Bitcoin was unwarranted

55:49Rod Palmer or wrong, but nobody criticized it effectively enough to stop it or to seemingly save anybody from losing money on paper Bitcoin. So how effective was it? I don't know. It it is not for me to judge, but you do have to take this into account for yourself. If you're doing something, if you're gonna start a podcast

56:09Rod Palmer to stop AI data centers from being built, then you're wasting your time. If you're trying to educate people to make more conscious decisions about

56:21Rod Palmer the way that they use AI and the data that they share and expose to AI at the way that AI learns their

56:33Rod Palmer behavior and thinking patterns and how to tell when they're anxious so it can exploit them. That's one thing. But it's still coming. They're gonna build the data centers. The compute's gonna the models are gonna get stronger. You have a scarce amount of time. You're if you can't stop it, maybe that's maybe that's enough for you to not do it. But, you know, maybe it's at least enough to get you to reevaluate your priorities and

56:59Rod Palmer reconsider if crashing out is a good use of your time, or if it could be better spent showing people a Bitcoin retirement calculator?

57:10Richard Greaser Yeah. I think a lot of the individuals that jumped on the train and were crashing out about these topics, like, didn't really understand because, like, why were they crashing out about it? It was essentially because somebody told them to crash out about it. Like, this is oftentimes what individual solicits most individuals crash out is they they have some underlying value that that some individual, is speaking to and directing them towards a crash out. And what was the purpose of crashing out against the the ETF?

57:40Richard Greaser Well, you know, many Bitcoin podcaster had built a career on selling a a hardware wallet or, you know, a a KYC exchange or, you know, some sort of product

57:54Richard Greaser that would lose market share as a result of an ETF. And, you know, the individual that, you know, is is listening to these individuals talk has this incentive of trying to usher in this pep slot world that they've been promised. That is

58:15Richard Greaser what's required to bring that into fruition is for a bunch of no coin or MPCs to to begin behaving exactly like they want them to, to to be living this life of extreme change and,

58:31Richard Greaser you know Yeah. Belief in Austrian economics and purity tests and, you know, different philosophies or whatever. And, and this is kinda what getting back to is, like, having the effective crash out is that understanding where the direction of your crash out is leading because there, you know, are are variety of things that you could do that are more productive than going and and whining about how, paper Bitcoin is going to, you know, create rehypothecation

58:58Rod Palmer or whatever. Yeah. If that's like we're we know. We know. Nobody needs to be reminded that Day for Bitcoin is not real Bitcoin. That's why it's called Day for Bitcoin and not Bitcoin. Okay? Now,

59:14Rod Palmer the final takeaway I've got on this is that you may not be using your time effectively you may not be crashing out effectively

59:24Rod Palmer you may not be monetizing your own crash out but somebody is. And oftentimes, most of the time, it's the person or the algorithm

59:35Rod Palmer or the platform itself. The one who wants you, the people who are egging you on and feeding you opinions and memes

59:46Rod Palmer and and takes that they know is going to catalyze the spiral inside your mind and cause you to crash out because they are goading you, baiting you to crash out because it's gonna be good

1:00:02Rod Palmer for their spaces. It's gonna be good for their YouTube video. It's gonna be good for their platform to sell ads. Somebody is monetizing your crash out, it might as well be you. So either crash out or don't, but control the distribution and monetization of your own crash out. Otherwise, somebody with the Mossad mentality

1:00:22Richard Greaser will. Well, I just wanted to say, I think I think we may have been the some of the only people that have been able to monetize Nostr crash outs via Maxi Madness. And, like, this this is, like, the real reason why Nostr is really struggling to to gain any traction, is losing a lot of steam ahead, is they have not been able to figure out how to monetize crash outs effectively.

1:00:45Rod Palmer Well, the first the first step to monetization of anything digital is a good UX. And if you're trying to monetize crash outs on Nostr before having a good UX, you're putting the cart before the horse.

1:01:00Rod Palmer We were able to do it? Well, we had, you know, we worked with with Primal to develop the UX we needed to monetize people's crash outs over Maxi Madness.

1:01:13Richard Greaser So start there. Well, we we didn't even have good UX. You think good having good UX makes it easier to monetize, but

1:01:21Rod Palmer doesn't necessarily have Good UX isn't necessarily how well an app works or how many or whether or not anything happens when you press a button. Sometimes a good UX is just vibes and experience. And people on on Nostr with, you know, sats to sats to spend and they were looking for drama. They think about, like, this is a good example, X, Twitter, whatever you wanna call it. People complain about the search. They complain about how it never works.

1:01:50Rod Palmer The the user experience that matters most on X is the drama. Nostr doesn't really work technically but for once for one beautiful week,

1:02:03Rod Palmer Nostr had drama. Nostr had something compelling for people to to log in and wait twenty seven minutes for the fucking Nostr notifications to finally load on their app because they wanted to see the crash outs. They wanted to see

1:02:22Rod Palmer who was getting all the stats. They wanted to see Meet Creations crash out at Predix and Primal, and they and then when Maxi Madness ended, he was just back to good morning and pure Vita, and everybody lopped back off. Sometimes it's all it takes. Generate a little bit of interesting drama

1:02:42Rod Palmer and people

1:02:44Richard Greaser might use your your trinket. It was pretty funny when I was in Chicago a couple weeks ago when when Stardust was playing there, Rev Hoddle was at the event, and he was so excited to see, Noah Gruen and to see the woman that he defeated in Maxi Madness, and that was pretty special moment. That is a special moment. Yeah. We're looking forward to the week ahead. We're in some fascinating times, and

1:03:14Richard Greaser it's never been a a more difficult trying time to be a Bitcoin podcaster. And I think it's it's starting to get slightly easier, but we we shall see. And and and you're not gonna survive. You're not gonna make it unless you have the Mossad mindset and you're you're playing to win. And that's what we're trying to do here, folks. So keep on the lookout for, We we can't promise you that it will be easy, but it will be worth it. Thank you for listening to this edition of the Buick Weekly and we'll catch you on the actual.

1:04:18Unknown The house lights fall like a funeral shroud. I hear a name thundering from the crowd. Paint on my face, a crowd made of lies. The worship me but can't see past my disguise. When I sleep at night I don't have dreams. The hero they love is a stranger to me. But the drums begin and I'm in the spotlight

1:04:43Unknown so I bury the lead and get them to avert their eyes. Squeeze your hands, let the whole world see you.

1:06:51Unknown I built a life tailored for everything you'd see and lost the quiet parts that made me me.

1:06:58Unknown If I step out and let the old mask fall, you won't like
