    00:03 Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution, which means
    00:05 the stupidity and insanity of what’s
    00:08 going on out there in the world does not
    00:11 have to mess up your money. Here’s what
    00:13 I mean. So, Bitcoin is insulated from
    00:16 the stupidity and insanity of Washington
    00:18 DC, for example. Over the last few
    00:20 months, we have learned that the
    00:23 Washington DC has zero interest in
    00:25 cutting spending at all. Not even one
    00:27 iota.
    00:29 Elon Musk, the richest man in the world,
    00:31 did his best to try to convince the
    00:34 politicians in Washington to cut
    00:36 basically even a penny. The answer is
    00:39 no. We’re not going to cut anything. The
    00:40 Republicans don’t want to cut spending.
    00:42 The Democrats don’t want to cut
    00:43 spending. Nobody wants to cut spending.
    00:45 It’s absolutely insane. To pay for their
    00:48 just absolutely insatiable appetite to
    00:51 spend other people’s money, they’re
    00:53 going to have to print a ton of money.
    00:55 Now, without Bitcoin, I’d be sitting
    00:57 there and I’d be upset, right? because
    00:59 they’re going to print a ton of money
    01:00 and it’s going to make life harder for
    01:02 me and my kids and my grandkids and you
    01:04 know all of that. But guess what? We’re
    01:06 insulated from that because we are not
    01:08 on a US dollar standard. We are on a
    01:10 Bitcoin standard. Bitcoin is a peaceful
    01:13 revolution. Bitcoin is a means of opting
    01:16 out and deciding that the stupid and
    01:19 insane actions of others don’t have to
    01:22 directly impact you. At least if those
    01:24 actions are happening in Washington DC,
    01:26 for example, as it relates to the
    01:28 finances of the United States, um you
    01:31 can just opt out of that. So, um they
    01:33 may print a ton of money. They will, you
    01:36 know, they will. They have to. There’s
    01:37 no other way. But it doesn’t have to
    01:40 destroy the purchasing power of my money
    01:41 because my money is Bitcoin. And the
    01:43 more of their money they print, the more
    01:45 valuable my money becomes. And every one
    01:48 of my kids has a Bit key. And they have
    01:51 Bitcoin safely stored away on Bit Key in
    01:54 cold storage out of the greedy and
    01:56 grubby hands of everybody that wants to
    01:59 make stupid and idiotic decisions in
    02:01 Washington DC. When I was out uh
    02:03 campaigning across two different
    02:05 election cycles, uh I knocked on 8,500
    02:09 doors. 8500
    02:11 myself. 8,500
    02:14 doors myself. And a lot of people were
    02:16 worried. A lot of people were worried
    02:18 about things that were happening in the
    02:19 country, things that were happening in
    02:21 Washington. What are we going to do
    02:22 about our national debt? You know, the
    02:24 country is drowning in debt every which
    02:26 way. What are we going to do about it?
    02:28 And Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution.
    02:30 It’s an opportunity to say, even if the
    02:32 insanity never stops, opting out. I am
    02:37 exercising the peaceful revolution of
    02:40 just saying no. saying, “I’m not going
    02:42 to hold my money in something that
    02:44 someone else can print out of thin air
    02:46 and destroy the value.” You know, the
    02:49 United States may end up in a bunch of
    02:50 stupid wars that we shouldn’t be
    02:52 involved in. And we will spend trillions
    02:55 of dollars fighting stupid wars that
    02:57 nobody can win that kill a bunch of
    02:59 people, which is awful. And I’m going to
    03:01 do my best to try to avoid the United
    03:03 States ending up in that place. But if
    03:06 the United States ends up in that place,
    03:09 even in spite of my best efforts, guess
    03:12 what? It’s not going to affect my money
    03:14 because my money is not in the US
    03:16 dollar. So the stupid and irrational and
    03:19 insane decisions of numerous people can
    03:23 have numerous stupid, insane, and
    03:25 idiotic impacts on you. Coin lets you
    03:29 opt out of a large percentage of those
    03:32 negative effects. the government
    03:34 spending, the irrational stupidity, uh
    03:37 the debasing of the currency, all of
    03:39 that, you can just walk away and say,
    03:41 “Hey, that’s okay. You know, I’m in
    03:44 Bitcoin.” And so, I’ve dedicated a big
    03:47 part of my life to not only uh, you
    03:49 know, living on a Bitcoin standard, but
    03:51 also encouraging as many other people to
    03:54 live on a Bitcoin standard as well. And
    03:56 eventually the more of us that decide to
    03:59 exercise our right to a peaceful re
    04:02 revolution by opting out and opting into
    04:05 the Bitcoin system rather than the US
    04:08 dollar system, the higher percentage of
    04:10 us that make a decision to do that, the
    04:12 fewer and fewer people that there are
    04:14 left fighting over the US dollar,
    04:17 eventually they will destroy the US
    04:19 dollar. They will. The people who
    04:20 control the US dollar will eventually
    04:22 destroy it. But again, your kids, your
    04:26 grandkids, and you yourself, you don’t
    04:28 have to be part of that. You can opt out
    04:30 of that system. And that’s my goal. My
    04:32 goal is for myself, my kids, my
    04:34 grandkids, and the people I know and
    04:36 love, for as many of those people to opt
    04:38 out of the US dollar system as possible
    04:40 to opt into the Bitcoin system and
    04:43 therefore insulate themselves from the
    04:46 stupidity and insanity of the world
    04:48 around them. Now, obviously, all of us
    04:50 should continue to do our absolute best
    04:53 to positively impact the world. I still
    04:55 spend tons of money um positively trying
    04:58 to impact the world, to try to keep us
    05:00 out of wars, to try to control
    05:02 government spending, to try to
    05:04 discourage idiotic government behavior.
    05:07 But I also know that I am not always
    05:10 going to be successful and will often
    05:12 you know the stupidity and idiotic
    05:14 behaviors of others is going to have
    05:16 negative affection uh effects on our
    05:18 country. And the best way you can do uh
    05:20 the best thing you can do even you know
    05:23 while while fighting to make the world a
    05:25 better place which we should all do
    05:27 simultaneously while fighting to make
    05:29 the world a better place for the benefit
    05:31 of as many people as we can benefit. We
    05:33 can also opt out of the monetary system
    05:36 that is in the that is going to
    05:38 self-destruct and Bitcoin is the only
    05:41 way of doing that. It’s a beautiful and
    05:43 elegant and just incredible peaceful
    05:46 revolution and I’d encourage you to be
    05:48 part of that. I certainly am. And I I’m
    05:51 a lot more peaceful as a result. Instead
    05:54 of everything that happens in Washington
    05:56 DC automatically getting under my skin,
    05:58 a lot of it I’m like, look, I did
    06:00 everything I could to make things
    06:02 better. They did stupid stuff anyway. At
    06:04 least it doesn’t affect my money. You
    06:07 can sleep at night knowing that no
    06:08 matter how stupid things are in
    06:10 Washington DC, at least it doesn’t
    06:13 affect your Bitcoin. At least the the
    06:15 dumber it gets in the long term, the
    06:17 higher your Bitcoin goes because the
    06:19 more people opt out of the system and
    06:21 join the peaceful revolution. So if you
    06:23 haven’t already, I would encourage you
    06:25 join the peaceful revolution of Bitcoin
    06:28 and higher percentage of your assets
    06:30 that are in Bitcoin, the greater degree
    06:32 to which you have joined that peaceful
    06:34 revolution. Have a great day everyone.
    06:36 Thanks.

Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution. The stupidity and insanity of other people‘s actions do not have to erode the value of YOUR money!
