another 255 00:09:04,752 --> 00:09:07,838 geographic location to a person or an entity. 256 00:09:08,756 --> 00:09:11,759 One of the fundamental aspects of of human 257 00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:13,636 humanity, to be honest, is just being able 258 00:09:13,636 --> 00:09:15,137 to barter is to 259 00:09:15,137 --> 00:09:17,181 is to recognising, okay, you know, 260 00:09:17,181 --> 00:09:19,183 one man's trash is another man's treasure. 261 00:09:19,183 --> 00:09:21,435 And so you can have trade 262 00:09:21,435 --> 00:09:24,689 where both parties come out better. 263 00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:28,526 Once again, this requires the mentality that 264 00:09:28,526 --> 00:09:31,445 the world is not a zero sum game. 265 00:09:31,445 --> 00:09:35,533 So essentially, if I take some money from someone 266 00:09:36,450 --> 00:09:38,035 that's that 267 00:09:38,035 --> 00:09:40,454 or I get some value from someone 268 00:09:40,454 --> 00:09:41,789 that I'm necessarily 269 00:09:41,789 --> 00:09:44,750 taking it from them, that the net sum is always 270 00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:46,377 going to be, let's just say 271 00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,297 $1 quadrillion. 272 00:09:49,297 --> 00:09:50,631 If I get 273 00:09:50,631 --> 00:09:52,758 in a 100,000 of that, that means 274 00:09:52,758 --> 00:09:54,719 that there is 100,000 less 275 00:09:54,719 --> 00:09:56,596 for someone else to have, 276 00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:57,638 which I think is incorrect. 277 00:09:57,638 --> 00:10:00,641 I don't think the the long 278 00:10:00,641 --> 00:10:03,644 span of human history supports that. 279 00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:05,021 So in this case, value 280 00:10:05,021 --> 00:10:07,231 transfer is just being able to recognise 281 00:10:07,231 --> 00:10:08,774 value is very subjective. 282 00:10:08,774 --> 00:10:09,817 People value 283 00:10:09,817 --> 00:10:11,235 different things differently 284 00:10:11,235 --> 00:10:15,114 and that we can actually have a better world 285 00:10:15,114 --> 00:10:17,950 by having value transfer and once again 286 00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:21,829 being able to move this in a and a way 287 00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:22,872 which is easier, 288 00:10:22,872 --> 00:10:25,499 better and stronger and faster 289 00:10:25,499 --> 00:10:27,168 and all of those sort of good things. 290 00:10:27,168 --> 00:10:27,710 Okay, 291 00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:28,961 so we've got our four properties 292 00:10:28,961 --> 00:10:31,505 and if you're looking at your screen now, 293 00:10:31,505 --> 00:10:32,173 I've set up 294 00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:35,926 a little chart, a table showing how these four, 295 00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:37,094 four properties 296 00:10:39,221 --> 00:10:42,224 accessible via these these three three 297 00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:43,851 things that I've been focusing 298 00:10:43,851 --> 00:10:45,394 on podcasting 299 00:10:45,394 --> 00:10:47,229 on the value for value model and Bitcoin. 300 00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:50,232 So I'll try and get into these 301 00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:51,942 in a relatively quick manner. 302 00:10:51,942 --> 00:10:53,944 So I'm not 303 00:10:53,944 --> 00:10:56,614 taking up too much of your time, I suppose. 304 00:10:56,614 --> 00:10:58,741 So let's start with decentralised. 305 00:10:58,741 --> 00:11:00,284 Podcasting is decentralised 306 00:11:00,284 --> 00:11:03,663 and one of the things with decentralised is in a 307 00:11:03,704 --> 00:11:05,706 when I'm applying it to these things, 308 00:11:05,706 --> 00:11:09,335 it it's kind of a metaphor in that the agents have 309 00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:10,795 the ability to act locally. 310 00:11:10,795 --> 00:11:12,213 So this is the people 311 00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:16,384 consuming or using this,

And this. 598 00:21:47,889 --> 00:21:51,852 No, once again, it's it's power barrier. 599 00:21:51,852 --> 00:21:53,812 Ellis There's no people saying you can 600 00:21:53,812 --> 00:21:54,980 or can't do this. 601 00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:57,941 There is value transfer in the spread of ideas 602 00:21:57,941 --> 00:21:59,818 and people seem to want this 603 00:21:59,818 --> 00:22:02,738 because podcasting is very, very popular. 604 00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:04,406 The value for value model. 605 00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:05,532 The great thing with this is it 606 00:22:05,532 --> 00:22:07,242 recognises subjective value. 607 00:22:07,242 --> 00:22:09,995 So the value transfer 608 00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:12,789 sees that okay, it's not about money, 609 00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:14,833 money, money is great and very helpful. 610 00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,418 And I'll be talking a lot about this 611 00:22:16,418 --> 00:22:17,919 and the value for value model, 612 00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:20,922 but a lot of it also is that it's subjective. 613 00:22:20,922 --> 00:22:23,050 I can ask for help from 614 00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:26,928 my audience through many, many different mechanisms 615 00:22:26,928 --> 00:22:29,931 by showing up to a live event like, 616 00:22:30,265 --> 00:22:32,893 you know, doing my laundry, you know, 617 00:22:32,893 --> 00:22:36,480 like literally if it was a if I was a struggling 618 00:22:37,230 --> 00:22:39,608 or if I was perhaps overseas and travelling 619 00:22:39,608 --> 00:22:41,860 and I had a listener, it was like, yes, sure, 620 00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:43,570 I've got a laundromat

or I've got a 621 00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:47,741 spare room, stay with me for a bit. 622 00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:49,242 But that sort of subjective value 623 00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:52,245 is so much more greater than than any money can, 624 00:22:52,746 --> 00:22:54,790 could, could try and 625 00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:55,957 replicate. 626 00:22:55,957 --> 00:22:58,960 And then the last one here with Bitcoin is it's 627 00:22:59,294 --> 00:23:00,879 the three main functions of money. 628 00:23:00,879 --> 00:23:02,589 So value transfer, you know, 629 00:23:02,589 --> 00:23:05,467 a big part of that of this is money 630 00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:07,928 that is valuable of of deciding 631 00:23:07,928 --> 00:23:12,099 what is a a money and it solves these it 632 00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:13,934 it suits these three main 633 00:23:13,934 --> 00:23:14,851 functions of money 634 00:23:14,851 --> 00:23:16,520 which is being a 635 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,897 store of value, a medium of exchange 636 00:23:18,897 --> 00:23:20,315 and a unit of account. 637 00:23:20,315 --> 00:23:21,066 And so 638 00:23:21,066 --> 00:23:24,277 Bitcoin is really, really great at value transfer. 639 00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:27,614 So I think this was slightly 640 00:23:27,614 --> 00:23:28,990 a bit more heavily than I wanted to, 641 00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:30,909 but I really did want to get to this aspect. 642 00:23:30,909 --> 00:23:33,161 Okay, There are these four properties 643 00:23:33,161 --> 00:23:35,997 of these three things that I really care about, 644 00:23:35,997 --> 00:23:40,377 and I think that these four properties are very, 645 00:23:40,377 --> 00:23:43,004 very useful and that they are 646 00:23:43,004 --> 00:23:44,506 what gives these 647 00:23:44,506 --> 00:23:47,509 the podcasting value for value in Bitcoin, 648 00:23:47,968 --> 00:23:49,511 the value they use 649 00:23:49,511 --> 00:23:52,848 and just in the way that the world is changing, 650 00:23:53,765 --> 00:23:55,142 I mean, it's changing all the time. 651 00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:59,020 But the recent trends I think of, of seeing 652 00:23:59,062 --> 00:24:02,149 more platforms, trying to shut things down 653 00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:04,901 like Spotify with trying to create 654 00:24:04,901 --> 00:24:09,656 kind of a walled garden of podcasting, of banks 655 00:24:09,656 --> 00:24:12,659 and other financial means, kind of 656 00:24:12,701 --> 00:24:15,370 I feel that being a bit more restrictive nowadays 657 00:24:16,413 --> 00:24:18,957 then in comparison to 210 years ago 658 00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:20,834 and then with Bitcoin of, 659 00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:22,169 well, we'll just see 660 00:24:22,169 --> 00:24:23,462 what happens from all the money 661 00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,672 printing, from COVID, from 662 00:24:25,672 --> 00:24:29,050 basically a group of individuals deciding how 663 00:24:29,050 --> 00:24:30,594 money will will. 664 00:24:30,594 --> 00:24:32,220 And this can be in any country 665 00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:34,931 basically you know, the US has the 666 00:24:34,931 --> 00:24:37,642 the Fed in Australia we've got the Reserve Bank 667 00:24:37,642 --> 00:24:38,643 was the 668 00:24:38,643 --> 00:24:40,145 yeah there's all sorts of 669 00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:41,605 all sorts of things going on. 670 00:24:41,605 --> 00:24:45,525 So those are my four properties. 671 00:24:45,692 --> 00:24:48,778 So this is going to kind of form the basis of 672 00:24:49,738 --> 00:24:51,781 some of the dive into each of these 673 00:24:51,781 --> 00:24:54,367 podcasting value for value and Bitcoin 674 00:24:54,367 --> 00:24:56,620 more in these later episodes. 675 00:24:56,620 --> 00:24:59,080 But I really did just want to 676 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,708 highlight why I think these three things 677 00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:02,834 are super valuable 678 00:25:02,834 --> 00:25:04,252 and I think these four properties 679 00:25:04,252 --> 00:25:05,837 somewhat show that. 680 00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:08,798 So thank you for joining me for that. 681 00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:09,382 Let's jump 682 00:25:09,382 --> 00:25:10,509 into the Booster 683

00:36:52,793 about value for value 1007 00:36:52,793 --> 00:36:55,004 is experimentation and copycatting. 1008 00:36:55,004 --> 00:36:58,132 And I just mentioned with the experimentation, 1009 00:36:58,132 --> 00:36:58,716 I'll be doing 1010 00:36:58,716 --> 00:37:01,260 so in the boostagram Lounge, you'll see 1011 00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:03,221 all the people who have sent in some value. 1012 00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:05,806 I'm going to create a little compilation of them 1013 00:37:05,806 --> 00:37:08,809 and put them on the screen and I'll order that 1014 00:37:08,976 --> 00:37:11,979 by the amount that they've sent in and 1015 00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:14,315 the bowl of boosters right at the front more, 1016 00:37:14,315 --> 00:37:16,025 more featured prominently. 1017 00:37:16,025 --> 00:37:19,111 And so that's super essential. 1018 00:37:19,987 --> 00:37:20,529 And taking 1019 00:37:20,529 --> 00:37:23,908 what other people doing is is also critical. 1020 00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:25,993 And I talked about that that was 1021 00:37:25,993 --> 00:37:28,162 the whole of what season two was about. 1022 00:37:28,162 --> 00:37:30,373 One of the things I would recommend is check out 1023 00:37:30,373 --> 00:37:34,543 what Chris Fisher is doing over on his show 1024 00:37:34,543 --> 00:37:35,378 Office Hours. 1025 00:37:35,378 --> 00:37:36,712 So Chris Fisher 1026 00:37:36,712 --> 00:37:38,798 I've had him on the Mere Mortals podcast, 1027 00:37:38,798 --> 00:37:40,508 a link to that conversation 1028 00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:42,343 in the 1029 00:37:42,343 --> 00:37:45,388 in the chapter images here and in the chapters. 1030 00:37:45,388 --> 00:37:49,100 And he's got a whole broadcasting network. 1031 00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:51,227 And as I was mentioning, 1032 00:37:51,227 --> 00:37:52,270 the Linode is 1033 00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:54,480 kind of pulling away from the advertising. 1034 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,357 And so he's trying to move 1035 00:37:56,357 --> 00:37:58,192 to a more value for value model. 1036 00:37:58,192 --> 00:37:59,235 Now he's got this one show 1037 00:37:59,235 --> 00:38:01,779 called Office Hours, which is, you know, 1038 00:38:01,779 --> 00:38:05,741 by his standards, a relatively smaller show. 1039 00:38:05,741 --> 00:38:07,118 It's not listened to as much. 1040 00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:08,244 I think he said he has 1041 00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:10,788 a couple of thousand people tuning in. 1042 00:38:10,788 --> 00:38:14,292 And this is show which always kind of struggled 1043 00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:15,418 with advertising as well. 1044 00:38:15,418 --> 00:38:17,586 It didn't really make sense to have it. 1045 00:38:17,586 --> 00:38:19,964 And What he is going to do is he's 1046 00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:21,090 got this interesting method 1047 00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:22,300 of helping to fund it. 1048 00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:26,721 So his costs for that a lot more than than 1049 00:38:26,721 --> 00:38:30,433 I'm doing for my own kind of hosting here and 1050 00:38:30,433 --> 00:38:34,478 and for the for the time and, and things like that. 1051 00:38:35,021 --> 00:38:36,856 Because he's got a full on audio editor. 1052 00:38:36,856 --> 00:38:39,650 He's got other people joining in a co-host 1053 00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:40,651 and you know, 1054 00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:43,654 he is just further along the journey than I am. 1055 00:38:43,946 --> 00:38:46,741 And what he's doing is basically 1056 00:38:46,741 --> 00:38:49,327 they will put out an episode and then 1057 00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:52,330 for the next episode to to be released, 1058 00:38:52,413 --> 00:38:55,041 they need to it's kind of needs to be unlocked. 1059 00:38:55,041 --> 00:38:58,044 And so they've
