0:03Richard Greaser Before we start, the Bugle would like to acknowledge the traditional ancestral unceded global reserve currency status of the US dollar financial system on which we are storing value, building, and pursuing NGU today. We believe it's important to acknowledge the dollar and its unseated reserve status because as immigrants from its former monetary hegemony, it shaped us and protected us before it gave its life to support NGU.

0:32Richard Greaser While the dollar is still discussed today, despite many not realizing it has already been defeated, it is easier to deny the dollar's part in enabling NGU if we historicize fiat's weaknesses and simply pretend the dollar's utility never existed. As credentialed journalists, we would like to take this opportunity to commit ourselves to the struggle against the systems of oppression that have have dispossessed the dollar of its reserve status. Work that is essential to economic justice across the world.

1:05Rod Palmer The bugle is the most profound intellectual bastion of integrity I have ever encountered. They put the proof of work into journalism. Free your mind by allowing them to do the thinking for you.

1:16Unknown The dollar is dead and the people have stopped complying. That is why it's time to buy GameStop stock. Top g's have time to play video games right now instead of focusing on Bitcoin because we have already won. Pump the stock and join the revolution.

1:29Rod Palmer This week, we celebrate and at the same time mourn the death of the dollar. While as Bitcoiners, we wanted to see the dollar's death, we must also remember all the things it did for us. NGU technology wouldn't have been possible without the dollar, as well as institutions like the dollar store or the McDonald's dollar menu. It's time to let these go and to take the power back from the non compliant government by

1:55Rod Palmer The revolution will not be centralized. All over the world, decentralized central banks are popping up, running entirely on raspberry pies using the lightning network. People are waking up faster than the government can put them to sleep with unhealthy food. Netflix, fluoride, antidepressants, and smoking bans. We have already won and will not be stopped.

2:17Rod Palmer And now a word from our sponsor.

2:20Unknown PodConv is committed to doing what's best for Bitcoin. And now we're implementing our boldest strategy yet. We're using dollars to make Bitcoin stronger. For years, nocoyner screamed that Bitcoin isn't backed by anything. Now all that is changing. PodCon is now using cutting edge synthetic US dollar technology like Tether, along with risk free US treasuries to back Bitcoin and boost NGU.

2:45Unknown And thanks to Lightning Labs soon, Bitcoin won't just allow you to be your own bank, but to be your own central bank. That's right. Soon, you, the node runners, will be able to issue stablecoins on Bitcoin and send them over Lightning, making banks obsolete. The wait is over, Bitcoiners. Hyper Bitcoinization

3:04Unknown is now.

3:07Richard Greaser Alright. Man, today is a good day,

3:12Rod Palmer Rod. It is a good day. Why is it a good day for you?

3:16Richard Greaser Because you're back on the show. You're back from your travels. Stoked to have you back.

3:21Rod Palmer Thank you so much. It has been a hue it was an amazing experience. I kind of a journalist pilgrimage, so to speak. And I I went out with one perspective with expecting to come to a lot of beautiful realizations

3:39Rod Palmer about civil noncompliance. And I just I followed my journalistic instincts, and I kept going. And we can get into all the places I've been, but I'm just so so invigorated. I Bitcoin has won. Hyper Bitcoinization is here. People don't necessarily

3:58Rod Palmer realize it yet, but they will. It's over. The dollar is done. We we have won. We can start

4:06Richard Greaser claiming victory. That's it's beautiful. Yeah. I mean, what what did you see on your travels? Tell tell the people about what this pilgrimage was and, how you saw the thousand dollar.

4:17Rod Palmer Yeah. I've told a few people and maybe we we discussed it briefly. But before I left a few weeks ago, I went to Entertain Topg, I went to his non compliance takedown the matrix boot camp.

4:32Rod Palmer I was gonna learn the tactics and the strategies of top G. Of defeating the matrix, and for me the matrix obviously, and for many top G students, is the state, the dollar, the system,

4:47Rod Palmer CIA, the government. We took we're gonna take them down in a civil non compliant fashion but it was a great question because I learned a lot the payout strategy

4:58Rod Palmer seems to be more clearer to GameStop and GameStop stocks and that GameStop is not the censorship resistant freedom money that I'm here for so I went I kept searching I went to conferences I went to Bitcoin plus plus I went I went to Europe. I went to Bitcoin

5:19Rod Palmer Asia. And I I I listened as David Bailey has spoken about. Just well, look, the Chinese Bitcoiners. They are taking over. They are about to defeat the CCP, the communist party, and they're trying to comply. And I went to Lightning Labs, and I I I went and met with the

5:39Rod Palmer Approot assets team, formerly Taro. And, I wept as they sent a burst sat through the Lightning Network. The first stablecoin through the Lightning Network. I wept as the node in Lightning Labs, NodeZero, became the first

5:56Rod Palmer only digital central bank. And I once I realized that all of us, all of us node runners, we can now become our own central bank. We can issue Tether, stablecoins, anything we want through our nodes and send them with custodial lightning wallets at the speed of light for virtually nothing cheaper than Visa or Mastercard. And now,

6:21Rod Palmer I've seen the light. It is over worth the dollar, and that's I I wish you could've I wish you could've been there on that journey. Richard, I think you really would've,

6:32Richard Greaser you would've had the same epiphanies I did. Yeah. So can you talk a little bit more about this idea of being your own central bank? Because I I I think a lot of people you know, bit Bitcoin's about banking the unbanked, right, and crypto in general.

6:48Rod Palmer Right. And that's that was a very small, very narrow way to think about Bitcoin. And it was right, and it's been very beneficial for many people. However, the only way to truly be sovereign

7:07Rod Palmer is to have your own central bank. You have to be able to issue your own currency, and control that rate of currency. And once you become a node runner with this new Taproot assets technology using synthetic US dollar technology like Tether, but it doesn't have to be limited to Tether. It can be any digital currency, any stablecoin,

7:32Rod Palmer and you can issue that. And you become known as Tether. That's how you become sovereign. That's how we defeat the dollar. They we are making banks obsolete. Yeah. I

7:42Richard Greaser every once in a while, I'll go get my oil changed on my car. And one thing that was interesting that I noticed is that they offer synthetic and and non synthetic blends of oil. And synthetic, it just appears as a superior product in many ways, it lasts longer, it's more sustainable, it's more expensive, so they make more money selling it.

8:07Richard Greaser And in the same way, you know, synthetic dollars are it's like synthetic motor oil,

8:15Rod Palmer where it's just all around better. Right? Right. Part part of part of fossil fuels and motor oil is you have to wait thousands of years for that to break down those carbon elements and to and to create this petroleum product. But when you create synthetic dollars, you just it's digital. It's instant. And that's what I mean, that's what fiat was. That's what made it so much better than gold in the nineteen seventies and why we we went off that standard. It was because we could do it so much quicker and in the digital technological

8:47Rod Palmer world we needed that speed and to be able to send things across time and space instantly and for free or at least cheap. And that's what these digital dollars give us. It gives us the ability to create money so the value will catch up. Instead of creating value first and monetizing it, you create money first, and then you valuetize it. Yeah.

9:11Richard Greaser I noticed so I was kinda keeping up with, what was going on at at Bitcoin plus plus. And I noticed that Shinobi was wearing a PodCom shirt when he was interviewing people.

9:21Rod Palmer There was a big there was a big PodCom presence at the Bitcoin plus plus, and I think part of that had to deal with the Texas Austin, Texas, Xfinity. Shinobi was there. We we were hoping that he and d plus plus would finally go on a date, get some barbecue together at the at the the barbecue place in Texas. Did not happen. There was really good discussion. Odd cough is is is everywhere, whether you like it or not. But they they have been pouring so much money and support into the Bitcoin community. It's good to see Shinobi representing

9:58Richard Greaser and helping spread their message. Do do you think that, Podkoff was effectively cock blocking shinobi? Like, they they intended to disrupt

10:08Rod Palmer the, I don't think they get the best shinobi possible, the best product shinobi possible if he's in love. I think they need him to be angry. I think they need him to fight with Terrence and to fight with with shitcoiners and spaces. But I think there is an element of of of him having to put his career on hold, or excuse me, put his love life on old to support his career. Yeah.

10:33Richard Greaser I mean, it it makes sense because women inevitably domesticate us. I mean, that's why all the Bitcoiners on Twitter are still single. Right? Because they they wanna they wanna remain more, what's the word? They don't wanna get domesticated. They wanna be ungovernable. They want to,

10:52Rod Palmer Right. They that's how they eat beef. They eat steak. They work out. They do deadlift. They want to have that testosterone pumping. And I think that having a feminine influence jeopardizes that. And right now we are, well, you know, maybe it's time for a switch because I understand that

11:11Rod Palmer impulse as we're trying to defeat the state, we're trying to defeat the dollar. But after my pilgrimage, the war has been won. We just have to get the news out. Yeah. It's very exciting. It's

11:24Richard Greaser it doesn't always feel like we're winning. It feels like Podkoff is obstructing things. It feels like, the noncompliant government just continues to not comply. It it feels pretty, it can it can feel kinda discouraging out there.

11:41Rod Palmer The psyops. Yeah. The psyops, they don't they don't go away overnight. And the the vestiges of the failed dollar hegemony,

11:53Rod Palmer They don't disappear overnight. I mean, I mean, you have you have people who they still worship the land that they have dominated, and they give credit to the past powers of that of that

12:08Rod Palmer territory. Those ghosts, they infect the minds of people to this day. They still have those lashes out, but I think once we get in the mindset of the Bitcoin standard mindset and we're officially there, I think we could start to build the NGU

12:26Rod Palmer that we've always dreamed about. Yeah.

12:29Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, I it's interesting to to look at things from the perspective of the dollar being dead because, I mean, it makes sense. Like, the McDonald's dollar menu isn't around. That that should be a pretty clear sign for people. Huge huge other than that. But, I I think there there needs to be a pushback against people that continue to celebrate the dollar.

12:53Rod Palmer I agree. And that's why Bitcoin needs real prudentialed journalists. Because people get their information about the world around them.

13:04Rod Palmer The government, they get their information about everything through journalists. So it is our duty as real credentialed journalists to report accurately what's going on on the ground, what's going on everywhere, and from my perspective, the dollar has lost in the Continental United States it is in retreat and that's why you see it moving to the global South. The people in the global South they still need that dollar utility. It's going to Argentina, it's going to El Salvador and Colombia, it's going to these places where it's it's wanted. We have to rely on that so people understand. While you're in The United States, the dollar is doomed.

13:44Rod Palmer If you are if you're going if you have a vacation to Buenos Aires, well, you're gonna need dollars. Yeah.

13:52Richard Greaser Well, that's why that's why, like, when you're going to like, you don't wanna hold dollars now that it's dead. But if you're spending dollars, but it's there is all all you needed to use is the Aqua Wallet so you can hold a Bitcoin balance on liquid, and then you can noncompliantly switch into synthetic dollars.

14:14Rod Palmer Right. Your your star value is Bitcoin. Your money, if you're in The United States or like the West, like Europe, well, that's where we're gonna be spending Bitcoin. But we're gonna be saving and spending. If you're in the global south, or you're in these these wrecked economies, you're gonna be saving a Bitcoin spending in dollars. And that that will slowly wait it down, that will slowly phase out, but it's similar to a tobacco companies.

14:41Rod Palmer In The United States, they were banned from marketing. They were banned from growing their influence, so they outsourced to the third world, to the global South, and that's where they started spreading and outsourcing their products similar to the US dollar system. Yeah. I mean, it it makes a lot of sense. So I've been I've been watching a lot of these politicians

15:02Richard Greaser and their behavior recently. I mean, they've been very non compliant. A lot of them are stacking non KYC Bitcoin. They're routing around AML laws. They're laundering Tether, in Ukraine. You know, they're doing stuff like that because they know the dollar is dead, and they they're Exactly. Waiting yeah.

15:24Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. A government and a system that is healthy is compliant. When you start to look at the the leaders, the government, the bureaucracy, the deep state, when you start to see them go non compliant,

15:41Rod Palmer they start to use alternative technology to to do business. That's that is the sign right there that that it's failing. It's to become noncompliant to survive. Just like the people it was trying to to subjugate prior to them flipping the power and

16:03Rod Palmer power balance dynamic.

16:04Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it's that that's this is probably the most effective way to get the government to be compliant again is to raise people's awareness around the death of the dollar so that, like, the gig is up. And the politicians,

16:24Richard Greaser you know, can't can't keep on, you know, being non compliant while everybody else is compliant.

16:30Rod Palmer But as long as they still control the the journalist and the media, they could live this this this perspective or this illusion that they are that they're still winning, that they're still in control. And if we don't have good journalism, point could win,

16:49Rod Palmer but ultimately fail at the same time in the because perspective is reality. If people don't have the right perspective, it doesn't happen. It doesn't occur the way we thought it would play out. Yeah. Yeah.

17:00Richard Greaser Well, this idea of everybody becoming their own central bank, it seems like the way to defeat these people is we just need to decentralize everything. So Bitcoin is winning on multiple fronts because it's decentralizing everything. So Michael Saylor is using Bitcoin to decentralize identification

17:23Richard Greaser and take that out of the power of the state's hands. Lightning Labs is working on allowing people to issue stable coins on the Lightning Network, which is great. Like, I really I really look forward to getting sent stable coins on, synthetic dollars on on platforms like Stacker News or or Fountain, you know, with the value for value

17:46Richard Greaser ecosystem.

17:48Rod Palmer Exactly. And and I think sometimes, such revolutionary change and progress is made that we struggle

17:58Rod Palmer to use the right language to describe it. And I think my interpretation of what stablecoins on Bitcoin I I use the term be your own central bank, but that's not the right term. I think you've actually just said it. I think you become your own decentralized bank.

18:17Rod Palmer Instead of having one central bank, we have many decentralized banks. And that's really what we need the decentralization of central bank. And that's what this is This is what we're witnessing right now. That's what we're reporting on.

18:32Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it's very exciting. It's, the I mean, we we have decentralized KYC. You know, the the shitcoiners, you know, they got their marketing down, and they made last cycle all about d decentralized finance. And and now, you know, this cycle, decentralized

18:52Richard Greaser finance is coming to Bitcoin in a big way. But decentralized finance coupled with decentralized KYC.

19:01Rod Palmer Right. That's the that was always the problem. The problem was not KYC. It was centralized KYC. And now we have decentralized KYC. So nobody can control

19:13Rod Palmer the KYC. It's distributed everywhere, but you can't change it. Once your identity is on chain, it cannot be changed. It's there forever. You are permanently

19:27Rod Palmer engraved in the time chain of history.

19:30Richard Greaser It's beautiful. It it's beautiful, and and you can you can even implement decentralized AML on your platform because as you are your own central bank, you know, the people that you're issuing the currency to, you can freeze their funds whenever you want to.

19:47Rod Palmer That's that is the power that they never wanted us to have. And now we have it. So, essentially, we could be issuing

19:56Richard Greaser stablecoins to the CIA, synthetic dollars to the CIA, and then as they are acting non compliantly, we can freeze their funds. And so decentralized

20:09Richard Greaser AML actually provides an asymmetric advantage to the individual

20:13Rod Palmer over the state. I mean, I I wish Hayek was still alive so he could rewrite the road to serfdom, except for from the perspective that that's where the CIA and the state are going. They are going to be our serfs. We that's that's what this technology is making pile is making possible. I mean,

20:32Richard Greaser decentralized taxation could be really interesting too because you could audit all the wallets and and implement taxes as you see fit programmatically. So you could you could just charge a transaction tax. So every every every transactions that's done, there's a there's a small tax that that's done on it. And all of a sudden, you go from central banker to, you know, law enforcer and road builder and school

21:02Rod Palmer operator. This is why node runners will inherit the Earth. Because now all all of government, all politics is local. When I mean local, I mean down to the node. And now it's like if you wanna send SaaS or Tether or anything through my node,

21:21Rod Palmer you better have better have your tax your checkbook out because you're writing taxes. Some people will have very anarchistic liquidity liquidity networks. There'll be no taxes. But the most efficient,

21:35Rod Palmer high liquidity it's gonna come with risk fixes, but they'll be decentralized. Just like the KYC and the AML, they'll be decentralized. So all of the potential for fraud and abuse, it's gone. Zilch. It's part of history.

21:51Rod Palmer It's in the dustbin of history. A 100%.

21:54Richard Greaser It's very it's a very exciting time. It's it's absolutely incredible. We're gonna see a lot of, you know, jurisdictional arbitrage between different nodes. We we know that that people will want to pay the higher taxes because people people gravitate towards areas with higher taxes because of the the better services that the governments provide there. And I mean, yeah. California is a prime example. Yeah. I mean, the the whole Swan team is located in California because they they appreciate the high taxes.

22:26Richard Greaser And I think River's out there as well. Yeah. That Swan

22:31Rod Palmer has had the success that it's had because they've noticed these basic truths very early early on. They know the best way to build the best product is to know your customer. They know their customer. They know them well. They know that the best way to be connected to the banks, to the liquidity network, is to be compliant

22:55Rod Palmer with the a the AML and with that KYC, to pay their taxes, to have that support from the state. I mean, in the right circumstance, taxes and services from the government. That is the OG, the original value for value economic model. They captured that early on. How how far away do you think we are from

23:18Richard Greaser Swan and River and Strike and all the, centralized KYC supporting platforms, platforms moving away from centralized KYC to decentralized KYC?

23:31Rod Palmer I think it's as soon as Saylor can get attack out there. Saylor and MicroStrategy and the people, all the the brilliant engineers that live near Langley, Virginia, they are building this today.

23:46Rod Palmer And it will be available, you know, hopefully this year. And I think that as soon as it's available, you'll see the adoption. It yeah. I mean, this is really a gradually then suddenly moment. It is. It really is. I think people don't understand how brilliant the everybody thinks the brilliant engineers live in California. They live in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and there are some great ones. Some of the best, some of the most out of the curve, they live in the Virginia area. They're working very hard on decentralized identity. I think that we could see a beta as early as this summer. Do you think that,

24:21Richard Greaser the individuals at Mount Weather are working on Bitcoin yet? I think so.

24:26Rod Palmer I think they are. I think everybody is. I think it's up to us as journalists to report on Because once people realize who's working on Bitcoin, who's holding Bitcoin, who's spending Bitcoin, who is monitoring the blockchain every day. It's like it's the most important fated base system of all humanity. Once people realize that, will the perspective will shift drastically?

24:53Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, so our our listeners might not know a ton about Mount Weather, but I would encourage individuals listening to this to go study the topic and only read it from credentialed sources

25:10Richard Greaser that actually have reputation. So Wikipedia is a good example of one of these sources with a good reputation, to check out, like, the the high level just facts on it. But Matt Weathers is actually where the leaders of Podkoff are located,

25:29Richard Greaser and they work together with, you know, different sections of the government, including FEMA and just the general, you know, deep state to to control the narrative. So for them to get involved with Bitcoin would be a major step forward.

25:46Rod Palmer It'd be very exciting. That would be the ability to turn the deep state into the decentralized eat state.

25:55Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, so so Mount Weather is essentially the place, you know, where the where the US government exists, nuclear war or some sort of disaster. And so, essentially, you know, we want the people that have been entrusted

26:12Richard Greaser to take over the world after the world ends to be the ones working on Bitcoin. Oh, yeah. They have been preparing for the end of the world

26:22Rod Palmer since they got there. They have been preparing for how to manage that, the logistics, how to use martial law, and all of those things are gonna be important. When everybody realizes what I've already found out, what we already know, which is the dollar has failed. And once once it gets into the minds of the public and it starts to unravel, we will have to lean on the knowledge and expertise of the of the facts working at Now Weather.

26:49Richard Greaser To help us weather the storm, so to speak. Well, Saylor keeps on warning us that the storm is coming. And I'm grateful for his warnings because I don't I don't think a lot of people are prepared for, you know, what what what does it mean for the the dollar to be officially dead and and for people to realize it? Yeah. There's gonna be funerals.

27:10Rod Palmer There's gonna be mourning. There's gonna be denial, but ultimately, we get through. We weather the storm. The storm passes. The sun comes out again.

27:21Richard Greaser We saw our balls together. Yeah. I mean, there's gonna be a lot of gnashing of teeth. There's gonna be bitter bitterness in general. I mean, it couldn't be more apparent. Like, all the all these guys like Morgan Stanley and and BlackRock investing into to Bitcoin ETFs and I mean, I'm excited to see when they start investing and becoming their own decentralized, central banks.

27:47Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, those it's it's gonna be crazy having BlackRock and, you know, some plant. They're both peers

27:57Rod Palmer in this decentralized banking future. Peers, I mean think about that. Equality.

28:03Richard Greaser It's it's coming. Yeah. I mean it it puts a whole new, new spin on peer to peer.

28:08Rod Palmer For sure. I wonder which I wonder which Vlad Prankster is gonna be the first one to freeze all of BlackRock's assets going through their node. It's gonna be it's gonna be a big shock to the system for sure. People are gonna be like, wow. You can do that? I have to get I have to be a part of this.

28:26Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already because I know that people have sent, non compliant Bitcoin funds to their address.

28:38Rod Palmer Oh, yeah. Yeah. And it's it's wait wait until Gary Gensler finds out about that one. He's gonna he's gonna be showing up the way he's house knocking on the door, but he's gonna have to explain himself just like plants do.

28:50Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, anyways, in the circumstance, so I I did a poll on Twitter, this week asking if people would rather their politicians own Bitcoin or own or XRP. And it was an interesting poll, but the majority of people Yeah. What did they say? The majority of them wanted their politicians

29:11Rod Palmer to own Bitcoin instead of XRP. Well, that shows you that shows you that even though sometimes we have this, I don't know, this antagonistic mentality, They want their public servants to be protected from inflation and to be able to weather the storm with them. It's it's it's a mutual respect. It's very palpable.

29:34Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, you know, there's a lot of privacy advocates out there, and I I'm sure that they're ecstatic in finding out that a lot of these politicians are Bitcoin owners and not only Bitcoin owners, but non KYC Bitcoin owners. Yeah.

29:53Richard Greaser Go ahead. Well, this this trend I noticed this trend starting sometime last year when Christine Lagarde, there were there were some leaked text messages suggesting that she was buying non KYC corn. And I think at the time, people were pretty, you know, wound up on it because they weren't very happy with the government. But since then, people have, like, felt a lot of gratitude for schools and roads and

30:20Rod Palmer pandemic safety and Right. At free vaccines.

30:25Richard Greaser Not not only free not only free, but the government was kind enough in many places to actually, like, give incentives, like, to give somebody a doughnut, you know, during a time that was really difficult because people people lost their jobs, they lost their businesses, as a result of, you know, keeping society safe and and protecting our our grandmothers from this horrible disease. And so they couldn't really afford the luxuries

30:56Richard Greaser of donuts and or or even medical treatment. Right. Because there was a lot of you know? There was a lot of sacrifice

31:05Rod Palmer that took place. I think that's that is what reminds you that we're all in this together is that when you act when you make those sacrifices for the better of your country or your people, if there is a reward, that it is worth it, you will be

31:23Rod Palmer remembered and and rewarded for your sacrifice. So three Krispy Kremes, three vaccines, stickers. I mean, a shout out from your favorite celebrity on Instagram

31:36Richard Greaser or on social media. Like, all these little things, they really do matter. I mean, just the the expressive art just got so much better. Like, all the all the content on TV during the pandemic, was brilliant. Sports were good. They they made them safer than ever by having to wear masks and do all the the testing. I mean, it was it was really nice. Like, I I can understand why people want their politicians and public servants to own Bitcoin because they know that

32:07Richard Greaser those people sacrificed just as much as any of us did.

32:11Rod Palmer Exactly. And the other thing that I think is maybe underrated is we talk about transparency on chain and the transparency of Bitcoin. When you have the politicians and the citizens using Bitcoin, that transparency

32:27Rod Palmer is now both ways. You can keep track of what your politicians are doing and how they're spending it. You can hold them accountable at the same level that they can hold you accountable. When you have this accountability system, it keeps everything in balance. It that's the checks and balances that the founding fathers imagined. Yeah. I mean, it it it's and you can only get these things in a democracy. Exactly. It's

32:52Rod Palmer decentralized banking, centralized KYC, politicians using Bitcoin, being able to pay your taxes in Bitcoin. That is that is how we feed democ we decentralize democracy, Like, we decentralize everything else on the on the system, on the layer one.

33:11Richard Greaser And and, you know, I think there are a lot of predecessors that have been working on concepts like this for a long time, and and where they were wrong is that they tried to do it with other blockchains. Right. Now people are doing it with a Bitcoin standard, so it's okay.

33:30Rod Palmer Exactly. And now, but you can buy all of the tokens, whether it's for dentists, lawyers, libraries, voting, democracy,

33:42Rod Palmer all of it. You put it on lightning, then it becomes ethical because that is the definition of ethics is using Bitcoin. Once it's on Bitcoin, it cannot be unethical any longer because of the incentive, because of the game theory, because of the proof of work. It's either

34:03Rod Palmer it's either an economical transaction or it's not because of the cost.

34:08Richard Greaser I mean, bit Bitcoin is non corruptible. It's it's supposed to bring insanity back in the world. And so doing these things on Bitcoin, it's it's almost like it's it's cleansing. Like, Bitcoin, when when you take a product that was running on Ethereum and you put it on Bitcoin, it's kinda like taking a demon possessed child to a Catholic priest to be exorcised. And it's it's cleaned of its impurities,

34:37Richard Greaser you know, resolved of its sins, and it's whole again and functional. And it works because it's on Bitcoin.

34:44Rod Palmer It lets you launder your soul. That's why a lot of people need a soul cleanse. Laundering your soul. It's we we talk about you don't change Bitcoin. Bitcoin changes you. The state doesn't change Bitcoin. Bitcoin changes the state. Yeah.

35:03Richard Greaser I mean, there this is probably why Cynthia Lummis tweeted we're so bad with laser eyes this week.

35:10Rod Palmer Like, she knows what's up. Yeah. Exactly. She has been, you can't she's been so close to to node zero, so to speak. And it's it's it's like in the bible when God comes down and his light is so bright that he blinds Saul's eyes.

35:27Rod Palmer It's like you come this close, such a powerful technology. It you come back and everybody else can see a change in you. The laser eyes. Determine not the means. You have been

35:42Richard Greaser you have your soul has been cleansed. Yeah. And you don't you don't even need Max Kaiser to do it for you. You can do it yourself. And that's like like, this is kind of so in the bible, are you familiar with the bible much, Ron?

35:57Rod Palmer Yeah. I've I've read it at least 10 times. Okay. Okay. So you're pretty familiar. That's

36:04Richard Greaser I think, you know, Pierre Richard is definitely the, the, you know, resident expert on the Bible. He's probably read it more times than than Guy Swan, who's read articles about Bitcoin. There's this part in the Bible, you know, when Jesus dies and the, temple curtain is ripped in half, essentially signifying that the people don't have to go through priests to access God anymore, that God essentially rug pulled the priests, and the the the clergy allowing direct access to the people. And that's what's happening right now from a monetary standpoint.

36:40Rod Palmer Exactly.

36:42Richard Greaser The curtain has been ripped. Lightning Labs is allowing people to be their own central banks.

36:50Rod Palmer Once the genie is out of the bottle, you don't put it that way. Once the central banking has been decentralized, you don't re centralize it. That's just it that goes against is it? Yeah.

37:03Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it's it's gonna be interesting to see this decentralized world where, you know, these citadels pop up not based on them properly organizing around each other or having useful skill sets or or having a product to to sell the fund themselves, but based based explicitly

37:24Richard Greaser around issuing money.

37:27Rod Palmer Right. It that's that's the natural course of things. It's going to be citadels where everybody agrees on the the same stablecoin, probably people who listen to the same podcast. It's gonna be a very podcast, very stablecoin centric

37:44Rod Palmer demographic. It's gonna be very uniform across these different citadels.

37:49Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it sorry. Does that mean we should start a bugle week weekly citadel?

37:56Rod Palmer I think that I think it will emerge naturally, and I think that we will be the journalists they trust to make sure everybody else in The Citadel

38:06Rod Palmer is up to date on on the truth.

38:10Richard Greaser Yep. So, like, what what type of journalist who would be the top three journalists you would invite into the Beagle Weekly Citadel outside of, the Beagle contributors?

38:22Rod Palmer That's a good question. You you've been a journalist longer than I have. I I'm curious to see who who your top three would be.

38:30Richard Greaser Right now my top three credentialed journalists, I'd say Marty or sorry, Parti Bent. He Marty. Yep. He's he's a good one. He'd be he'd be in the top three. I wouldn't put a number one, but I'd I'd probably say Piers Morgan.

38:48Rod Palmer Okay.

38:49Richard Greaser Because he he's he's essentially, like, a better version of Peter McCormick, if that makes sense. So, like, Peter McCormick is trying to be Piers Morgan.

38:58Rod Palmer And so Great analogy. Yeah.

39:01Richard Greaser So instead of like, Peter's not actually an accredited journalist like Piers. I mean, he this is a guy that just spun up his own podcast and started talking about Bitcoin and then got got some

39:13Rod Palmer PodConf money and then hired six producers. I like the Bible talks about false prophets. He's kind of the false journalist or the false podcaster.

39:22Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. But but Piers Piers is much better than Peter in that regard. And, I mean, like, Piers was such a good journalist that Alex Jones actually started a a petition to, get him deported. Like, that's how good his journalism was. It threatened the non like, the fake noncredentialed journalist class.

39:44Richard Greaser So he would be, I wouldn't put it number one. Who would be number one? I mean, I'd put, like, Rizzo in honorable mention. I I probably pick Natalie Brunell as number one

39:59Richard Greaser because her media training is just so good. And, you know, fortunately, she's married to Sam Callahan, who's definitely, you know, an asset to have in the Citadel because you need like, if you're gonna be running your own yeah. If you're gonna be running your own Exactly. If you're gonna be running your own central bank, you need a good macro analyst to help you, like, determine what's going on in the market. Like, he's he's explicitly

40:25Richard Greaser really good on the topic of synthetic dollars. Right. He's very knowledgeable. He actually he talks about Tether pretty frequently. Right. He's gonna be one of our biggest competitors on this endeavor. So I I would say, you know, I would swoop Sam

40:44Richard Greaser Callahan through Natalie Burnell's credentials.

40:48Rod Palmer So those would be my top three. That's good. I like Max Kiser. He's gotta be in the top three. Again, I don't know if I put him number one. Matt Skiser, he's he's got the facts before everybody else. He does not he does not bend the knee to the government. He he'll lead. He'll go to another place. If the government's not friendly to him, he'll go report for Al Jazeera. He just doesn't give an f. Right?

41:13Rod Palmer I'd say number in the top three, Tim Pool. As much as I'd love to have Tim Pool on there, I don't know if he's credentialed, then we might have to to verify that. But even if he's not, maybe he should maybe he deserves to be, like, grandfathered in. And then wow. Then last one, it's tough. It's it's probably between,

41:38Rod Palmer Glenn Greenwald and,

41:41Richard Greaser I guess, we'll just go with Glenn. Yeah. Glenn's a good one. And and, you know, for for anybody listening that that questions whether or not Max actually has the proper journalist credentials. He was given an honorary bachelor's in journal journalism by the University of El Salvador in San Salvador.

41:60Rod Palmer That's right. So that puts the doubters, all the the truth there's that wanna see, his journalism transcripts, well, you can shut up

42:09Richard Greaser now. Yeah. And, you know, this kinda brings into perspective that, you know, because it's our Citadel, we consider our own standards. So like the best practices yeah.

42:21Rod Palmer What?

42:22Richard Greaser Well, the best practices

42:24Rod Palmer Go ahead. Best practices

42:26Richard Greaser require a bachelor's degree. Sometimes exceptions are worthy. Like, you can't give honorary degrees to people. So, like, a lot of people don't know what the process to become a journalist is. So, like, the first step is to get the bachelor's degree. But there's almost like a knighting process where

42:45Richard Greaser the the title needs to be bestowed upon you by either a lord or a king of journalism. So either, you know, like an individual, like a CEO of a big media company

42:58Richard Greaser or like a Tucker Carlson, like a big personality in the space. Right.

43:03Rod Palmer Right. And it's another important aspect is that as a node runner will learn, if you issue your own currency, you decide what is compliant. So compliance is what you say it is. If that's the US government right now, like, it may be a while, but if if you if you didn't break it,

43:24Richard Greaser they could say you did. Because compliance is what they say it is. They define compliance. And they define compliance for themselves. And this is, like, why in our Citadel, it's really important if we're to set up any sort of justice system, like it has to be controlled by us. So the I mean, the most fair way to do it is for your elected service, individuals

43:47Richard Greaser to essentially regulate themselves and referee themselves. Right? That's what I need. Right. Yeah. You know, independent judiciary, but it needs to be controlled by you.

43:58Rod Palmer Exactly. As long as you have, like, the Department of Justice has enough sovereignty. The the only people who can be trusted to watch the watchers

44:09Richard Greaser are people with the right credentials. I mean, I I've been really interested to get some, some of Hapa's ideas on decentralized judiciary. I mean, you can almost you can almost, like, do voting in the blockchain to kinda, like, replicate the jury process. You could livestream a,

44:30Richard Greaser well, you could you could use, like, a system like Orange to pick a jury of viewers of a live watch stream of the trial, and they can actually,

44:45Richard Greaser you know, vote as a jury on whether somebody's guilty or not using decentralized KYC and, you know, these other other products that, you know, we can control as our own central bank.

45:01Rod Palmer Decentralized justice. It's it's

45:04Richard Greaser I don't know if people are ready. And the the cool thing about this is the jury selection could be a lot more favorable for the defense because they're gonna have the analytics of all these different people's aspects of people's lives. Like, you could you could score people based on their compliance level.

45:23Rod Palmer It's not where You won't even need their testimony. You'll be able to tell by looking at the data and the analytics if what what the verdict should be. You you it it's it's almost like there was this movie. I can't remember what it's called, but it was Tom Cruise. They could they could use data and analytics to tell if somebody was that break, break the law or commit a crime before they even did it. And now you could eliminate crime this way. Like, you don't even like, somebody could lie to you, but if they if you did the data, the data doesn't lie. The math doesn't lie. The cryptography doesn't lie. And,

45:58Richard Greaser like, all of this can be done using smart contracts. So instead of relying on individuals, you're you're relying on the blockchain on a mute on an immutable ledger.

46:09Rod Palmer The very foundation of Western law, these contracts. So these smart contracts, decentralized identity,

46:16Rod Palmer it fundamentally shifts justice. Yeah.

46:21Richard Greaser This is a big shift. I mean, this this could really, propel things forward. And it's just, man, we gotta we gotta decentralize things. And it it's time. And I know, like, people are gonna be resistant to these ideas because they're new and they're different. But this is a part of acknowledging the death of the dollar, is the death of centralized

46:43Rod Palmer governance in general. First step is always denial. And once people get out of denial stage that the dollar is dead, they can finally start to do the work required to make progress because decentralization

46:58Rod Palmer is hard work. And I think that we have we're just not used to

47:05Richard Greaser what is coming, but we will. We'll we will adjust. Yeah. I mean, the do do you think there's going to be, like, a whole new mental health revolution

47:14Rod Palmer talking about, like, the process of grieving the death of the dollar? I think it's how he started. I just I I think part of the mental health revolution, ISIS, whatever you wanna call it, is people starting to notice the death of the system that they built their lives on. And they could tell that it's it's coming to an end, and they are not gonna live in dollar

47:39Rod Palmer state in dollar terms. They're not gonna live the same quality of life as their grandparents and their parents. And it's they haven't accepted it yet, but they will. Once they realize the dollar's dead and Bitcoin is won, they will their whole demeanor will shift, and their confidence and their positivity, their

48:02Rod Palmer their outlook will be so much more optimistic.

48:05Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, I I think this, like, this revelation, there's been a lot of discussion on what to do about the Mexican border, what to do about the fentanyl crisis. And I think that if people realize the dollar is dead, they'll probably stop doing fentanyl.

48:25Rod Palmer Right. It, ironically, started doing fentanyl because the dollar was dying. That makes sense, I guess, because fentanyl is what you get in hospice. Well, these people will stop living like they're in a hospice just waiting to die

48:43Rod Palmer They realize they've already died and now be been reborn, and they can live this new life,

48:49Richard Greaser live this new future. I mean, it's really like a phoenix rising from the ashes type situation that every individual must go through.

48:58Rod Palmer The absence of the dead and burned dollar, the cremated dollar.

49:02Richard Greaser Yeah. The the cost of, essentially accepting the death of the dollar and becoming your own central bank is a raspberry pi. That's it. That's it sounds silly, and it's so

49:16Rod Palmer it makes you wanna almost cry from laughing that it's so easy that people just have to realize it, take control.

49:25Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, berry Bitcoin fixes this. It's it's as simple as that. You know, three three words that people need to accept and come to grips with, and then everything gets easier.

49:39Rod Palmer Yeah. When you're when you are in the gutter, despair, your life that you're homeless, you've got nothing, no future, no family. It can be very easy to fall into despair and to keep using drugs and heroin and and opiates

49:55Rod Palmer until you realize Bitcoin fixes this. There's nothing. It can never be so broken that Bitcoin can't fix it. That's just it's it's a message that more people need to hear. There there's a better way. There's a better path. There's a better future. An eternal future. You will live your identity will live forever decentralized on the chain, on the time chain. That is eternal identity.

50:23Richard Greaser Yeah. I forgot to put the fountain boost in the, in the agenda. We'll have to get to those here in a second. The last thing I wanted to talk about, So we we talked a little bit about the the doll death in the dollar or the dollar acknowledgment, part of the beginning of the show. But, what what are your thoughts on PodConv trying to use the dollar to make Bitcoin stronger

50:47Richard Greaser despite the dollar already being dead. I think you

50:50Rod Palmer sometimes have to take advantage of public perception. And as long as public perception has not yet shifted to identifying the death of the dollar, you use

51:04Rod Palmer treasuries. You use those those bond coupons. You use those synthetic dollars to boost Bitcoin into create NGU because it even though the dollar has died, it will take a certain amount of NGU before everybody realizes it. So the more you can wait NGU,

51:25Rod Palmer the more it becomes difficult to if the the dollar is dead. So until people realize it, you make Bitcoin stronger

51:38Rod Palmer by pumping dollars into the system. Mhmm. And so people will realize eventually, like, wow. Like, all these dollars are going in. It's not making a difference. Well, that's because Bitcoin is Bitcoin has won. The dollar is dead. Dollar cannot make Bitcoin stronger anymore. But until that day,

51:56Richard Greaser you have to keep pumping it in. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Alright. Do you have the do you have the piece? Hold up. I do. I do.

52:05Rod Palmer We just died with the first one, and that's John from, Uncoverable Misfits. Ain't no party like the bugle party because the bugle party don't stop. That's right. That's right. Bugle is fireless in its efforts to bring you the truth, give you the news that you don't have to think about the facts.

52:26Rod Palmer And, John, thank you for helping

52:29Richard Greaser keep us going. I mean, he he's right about the bugle party. It doesn't stop. If you look at the newsroom, we we have one of the few twenty four hour newsrooms in the world. You know, a lot of us, we we sleep on the floor on beanbags. We play League of Legends when we're we're trying to relax and and process through things. But, yeah, I mean, it's it's nonstop, constantly working, and, we just gotta bust out the best content possible. So thanks for your boost, John. And it does remind me that

53:00Rod Palmer the government should make it so that journalists have priority access to Adderall because we journalists thrive off of nicotine and Adderall. We need that up, that boost to keep the party going, to keep the facts getting put on paper. Yeah.

53:19Richard Greaser And, like, one of one of the things that, you know, the government that has done has done that has really been unfortunate is, they've eliminated eliminated the ability for journalists to use Quaaludes. What happened in 1971? That's all I have to say about that. I mean, Quaaludes, they're they're great. I mean, they they can help journalists really, you know, relax because it's a lot of hard work. You gotta drink a lot of coffee. You gotta take a lot of Adderall and smoke a bunch of cigarettes.

53:47Richard Greaser But, eventually, you know, you have to unwind and get some sleep to be able to recharge for the next the next charge. And, Quaaludes being banned has just been unfortunate. The next

54:04Richard Greaser the next boost was from e z twenty one, boosted twenty thousand sats. Said, great show. It's nice to hear the adults are finally in the room. It's time to grow up and stop questioning things. Give me KYC and OFAC compliance checks for every transaction or give me death. Yeah. So, I I guess this is this boost is kind of a a good

54:27Richard Greaser barometer for how quickly the news can change and how quickly our perspectives on things can change because, prior to the revelations that you brought to the show this week, Rod, we were reliant on organizations like OFAC and and central KYC,

54:48Richard Greaser bodies. The governments were the only ones issuing IDs, and now we have the ability to change that. The good news for you, EZ 21, is that, decentralized KYC and decentralized OFAC is coming quicker than you can imagine.

55:06Rod Palmer Yeah. Absolutely. The the safety and security of the of the population is no longer reliant on a compliance standard that has a single point of failure. Now that we have decentralized identities, decentralized compliance,

55:23Rod Palmer there's a redundancy which adds just an unmistakable layer of security to the system. You can sleep easy at night. You don't even need Quaaludes anymore. That's maybe we don't need Quaaludes now that we're decentralizing clients. The next one? Okay. Yeah. I got this one. We could do 10,000 from fundamentals

55:43Rod Palmer of the rock paper Bitcoin podcast. He says that, Pardee Bet was a solid guest. He sounds a lot like a podcast plant. I don't know what that's supposed to mean. Artie Beth is an excellent journalist. You'd think that by taking Potkomf's money, but trashing them on the show that you're not being corrupted by them, but I think they hoodwinked you here. That is that's one perspective of fundamentals. I I think that,

56:11Rod Palmer if you understood journalism a little bit better, you might understand party a little bit better. I encourage you to read more of party's work, and hopefully, you will see a different point of view there. Yeah. I mean, when

56:24Richard Greaser when we're running the central bank, comments like that won't even be able to make it through our filter that we set up because, we're gonna only be taking opinions from, accredited individuals. Like, you know, going after Hardy Ben's credibility

56:42Richard Greaser and trying to trash them as a pot cough plant is really it it's misinformation. And, like, I think it's okay to ask questions. Like, it's important for our audience to ask questions of us because we are journalists. We have the secure training and knowledge, but to assert conclusions when you don't have a bachelor's degree in journalism is just unfortunate. Like, one thing we want our audience to do

57:07Richard Greaser is we want them to outsource their thinking to us because we know, you know, fundamentals is he's a busy guy. I mean, he's, he's doing a lot of stuff and, you you just don't have time to think for yourself when you should do. Testing is a lot of work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What what is

57:24Rod Palmer it's it's purely speculation. I have no evidence here. Sometimes you you see these people spreading crazy information, without the credentials to even be talking about stuff like what they're talking about. It almost seems like they are a a plant themselves, controlled opposition. Just some of the the comments that fundamentals lead, it almost makes me wonder if if he's controlled opposition,

57:50Rod Palmer working with Podkoff, trying to discredit Podkoff, but really, he's lurking waters so people can't see the truth as well. Yeah. I mean,

57:59Richard Greaser like, there's there's all these entities out there essentially funding the opposition, in order to make the opposition look bad. And, like, we we wanna take a strong stance against Podkoff, but we have to do it in a way where, you know, the experts are leading the charge

58:19Unknown to that yeah.

58:22Richard Greaser Well, thank you for your boost fundamentals, sweetie. I I recently learned that they they do, like, a podcast every other week. You have to wait two weeks to listen to their podcast instead of only one, like the Beagle Weekly. So I'll let the listeners draw their own conclusions on that.

58:41Richard Greaser But I will look forward to the next one, next week when they release it. Q w boosted for 5,000 sass and said, keep changing the narrative and continue supporting value the value for value pod conf disruptors. Oh, I mean, that's what the show was all about today. It was all about the disrupting PodCon for decentralization.

59:04Rod Palmer Right. And you you can rely on journalists like us who are doing our very best, but ultimately, humans are all we're we're not perfect. If you could decentralize and fix the Byzantine general, general's problem

59:20Rod Palmer of disrupting these centralized institutions, you don't have to rely on people. But we will keep doing our best to help Bitcoin succeed by by being credentialed, principled journalists. But, hopefully, our job will be be be disrupted itself, and we won't have to rely

59:41Rod Palmer on people. It'll be the system the incentives.

59:44Richard Greaser Smart. It'll be it'll be the first governance model that is thermodynamically

59:49Rod Palmer sound. Wow. I think there's so many conclusions to come to here, from from all of these revelations that healing them said out loud is just very powerful. Yeah.

1:00:03Richard Greaser I'll get the next one too. Well, actually, you get the next one because you were the one after that. I'll read yours. Yeah.

1:00:10Rod Palmer Last week, we complied so hard, basted, but in the end, it didn't even matter. This week, we will comply even harder, get our boost in early. That was 5,000 sats for orange art. Who's a friend of the show? Thank you so much, Orange Mart. And, if you because you're such a friend of the show, we know that you will get your boost in as early as possible. We look forward to that boost,

1:00:35Rod Palmer to help supply our cigarettes.

1:00:39Richard Greaser Do you wanna take a shot at trying to sing those lyrics? Let me try.

1:00:45Rod Palmer I complied so hard and got so far.

1:00:50Richard Greaser I didn't do it. It didn't even matter. It's pretty good. Thank you. I generally I generally try and light up a cigarette as I'm trying to smoke because the the cigarette smoke really helps my singing voice.

1:01:05Rod Palmer If that could raspy South

1:01:07Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, Bob Dylan did that. I I have wanted to make it to Orange Mart, but I still have not got past the tutorial. It's a lot. You gotta do you gotta do the work. Gotta do the work. Well, I'll get there. Like, I'm pretty I I want to go and see if I can deface the Podkoff mural within Orange Mart. And in order to do that, I have to defeat the tutorial standing in my way,

1:01:34Richard Greaser and that's just the the proof of work I need to accomplish.

1:01:38Rod Palmer That's crazy that they put the biggest, baddest, hardest monster first instead of at the end.

1:01:44Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, I I don't know. I mean, we'll we'll see. Like, maybe maybe there's, like, some obstacles that I have to also, get around in order to deface the PodConv advertisement, but we'll see. The next boost is from you, Rod. You said, at least my substitute was a real journalist this time, and, we got some replies to that. So k y c three says, I got a journalism degree by collecting tokens

1:02:11Richard Greaser from the back of cereal boxes, hardest hitting thing. I did getting through the all those cornflakes. That's an interesting way to get a journalism degree. I don't think I've ever heard of that. John said, pass pass. I responded and said, I felt that it was appropriate to lower the standards to have John and Max on the pod despite their lack of credentials, their lack of compliance is off the charts.

1:02:37Richard Greaser John responded to that that said and said, it doesn't even matter. I mean, it seems like John's a little bit offended because he doesn't have credentials, and he was just stating the obvious, but I agree. It it was nice to have Hardy on the podcast and and get his journalistic expertise.

1:02:55Rod Palmer Agree. Yeah. I sometimes people are salty, but we can agree to disagree. Yeah. I mean, don't be salty. Either either get

1:03:02Richard Greaser an honorary degree, from a real university or to go and get the degree to yourself. Like, the dollar is dead. Now is the time to take out as much student loans as you possibly can.

1:03:16Richard Greaser We know that, like, I mean, all all the the college students up to their eyeballs in debt, they are not paying their loans back because they realize the dollar's dead. That's what's going on here.

1:03:28Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, that's if anybody's got their view to the ground, it's them, and that could be another another piece of evidence of what we're trying to report here. Yeah. And next one we've got is from Southside, and he basted 1,337,

1:03:48Rod Palmer which is kind of a weird amount. His, wallet must have been empty. But thank you, Sal said. He says, GM, which stands for good morning. K Y C Nee, say it back. K Y C Nee, Sal said.

1:04:02Richard Greaser And good morning. That was a great boost. You know, here pretty soon, we'll probably be able to actually KYC you, Southside. We'll keep you posted on that. The next one was, user 64891291. Who said a thousand sats and said leftist propaganda? Okay.

1:04:23Richard Greaser Like, the the I I don't know. I mean, I guess it makes sense for people to accuse real journalists of being propagandists when in reality, we're we're just reporting the facts from a unbiased standpoint because as a journalist, you have to be unbiased and take an objective approach. But he he's probably, like, a big fan of, like, Trump or something. That's why they're calling us leftist propaganda.

1:04:48Rod Palmer I don't agree with, user six four eight nine one two nine one's opinion, but I will fight to the death

1:04:56Richard Greaser for his right to share it. Yeah. I mean, I won't. I I I'm gonna I'm gonna filter I'm gonna filter that until you can prove that your journalist need your opinions valid. Fair enough. That's decentralized

1:05:09Rod Palmer compliance right there. Yeah. Actually, it's already starting. Yeah. The next Sean Yaeger raised 20,000 SaaS. Hardy Ben speaks the lead compliant truth. And that that that perfectly sums it up. It's exactly what he did. We're thankful for him to come on, and we hope he'll come back. Next boost is from,

1:05:30Richard Greaser KeyW again. He says and KeyW does, Plug Chain Radio, so you should check that out. It's a great show. He's had us had me on twice and and you on once, Rod. That was a good time. But he said, outsource your critical thinking to the bugle to bugle news and live a fuller life. I agree. I mean, get getting your information from the proper sources allow you allows you to make the right decisions. Because there's so many fads and there's so many opinions, but there's only a little bit of signal that the barrier to entry is a bachelor's in journalism,

1:06:06Richard Greaser which you know, is work that a lot of people don't wanna do. And so there's kind of like a self filtering aspect of the industry, and the people does it the best at anybody.

1:06:19Rod Palmer Couldn't agree more. I I I guess I'm biased, but I have the same opinion, and it's why we get up, you know, so early every morning, start writing the news, to report the news. Thank you so much, UW. The last one, at least the one on my list, is from at Nick Faust. And I wonder if this is this is Nick Foster from Kaboomera. We've been to 100 sats, fix the filters. Hashtag. That's real.

1:06:45Rod Palmer I guess. You're gonna have to fix a lot of filters for the decentralized central bank. So, if, you know, you wanna fight that battle,

1:06:55Richard Greaser you'd be my guest, I suppose. Yeah. I mean, I I imagine that there's gonna be citadels and central banks that reject the ordinals.

1:07:02Rod Palmer As is they're right. Yeah. I mean, if you wanna steady sovereign.

1:07:09Richard Greaser If you wanna live in Luke Dash Junior's citadel and participate by using his central bank digital currencies that he issues, then you're gonna have to agree to live in a world in a community where there are strict filters.

1:07:26Richard Greaser It's not just

1:07:28Rod Palmer Autistic aut autistic Catholicism.

1:07:31Richard Greaser Mhmm. Yeah. I mean, they're not gonna let non autistic people into the citadel. And that's like a whole different set of filters.

1:07:41Rod Palmer My my hot take is that, autistic people were never meant to be allowed to read the religious sacred texts. I just I don't know if they have the ability to interpret them appropriately. No.

1:07:54Richard Greaser Probably not. But it's their own right to interpret it as they will and and implement the filters on their own central bank digital currency that they want to. That's right. Like, how do you KYC autism? That that's an important question. Maybe maybe we should discuss that next week.

1:08:13Rod Palmer That is that'll be a good topic. I think we I'd really like to dive into that one. We'll do that next week for sure. Yeah.

1:08:20Richard Greaser Alright. Well, do you have any final thoughts, Rob?

1:08:24Rod Palmer I just wanna remind everybody, the dollar is dead. Bitcoin has won. Stop acting like it. Start living like it. Be the change you want to see in central banking. Yeah. I

1:08:39Richard Greaser so my final thoughts kinda echoing after that. I mean, you know, if there was ever a time to be noncompliant with the current system, like, the only the only way you like, we're not gonna be able to comply our ways out out of this. We just have to de just decentralize the power structures. And, like, if people are continuing to, like, comply with an institution that is entirely dependent on the dollar for survival and the dollar's dead, that's kind of silly. Like, we need to pick up the pieces.

1:09:11Richard Greaser We need to, make sure our politicians own Bitcoin so that when the people realize the dollar is officially dead, they're not gonna be completely broke. But, you know, they'll continue to be able to serve us. We can integrate them into our citadels. We can give them universal basic income with our central bank digital currencies that we're issuing. But, yeah, I mean, it's time to decentralize. It's time to decentralize KYC, decentralize taxation,

1:09:41Richard Greaser decentralize AML.

1:09:43Rod Palmer Decentralize everything. 100%.

1:09:45Richard Greaser Alright. Well, thank you for tuning into this episode of the Bugle Weekly, and we'll see you next week. Thanks, everyone.

1:09:52Rod Palmer Thank you for tuning into this week's episode of the Bugle Weekly. Please consider boosting the show so that we dominate the fountain charts and outperform all the non credentialed podcasters. The future will be decentralized and we must seek to decentralize everything. If there is something happening in a centralized data base, it must get repackaged on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. All you need to do this is a smart contract and a Raspberry Pi.

1:10:18Rod Palmer Decentralized KYC AML, decentralized taxation, and decentralized justice will usher in the bright orange future PodConf podcasters promised us. Buckle up as we have arrived at our destination. Thank you again for tuning in, and we will see you next week.

1:10:37Richard Greaser I had Jamie fact check the bugle, and he found all their facts were true. Free your mind and let the bugle do the thinking for you. Life is too damn hard to do the thinking yourself.
