1
00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:04.720
It is 08:03AM
2
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:08.559
Pacific Daylight Time. It is Monday the thirteenth.
3
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.280
That's right. It's Monday the thirteenth.
4
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:13.634
It's July also 2026,
5
00:00:13.634 --> 00:00:16.035
and this is episode thirteen fifty of
6
00:00:16.515 --> 00:00:24.114
Bitcoin. And with me, your host, David Bennett, bringing you all the news about Bitcoin and macro from around the world.
7
00:00:24.755 --> 00:00:26.274
I read you these
8
00:00:26.675 --> 00:00:34.170
articles so that you don't have to read them yourself because you may be driving to work or driving to lunch or even
9
00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:43.164
back from lunch, depending on where in The United States or the rest of the world that you might be. And I do that. I read you the whole article
10
00:00:43.565 --> 00:00:50.684
when I read these articles so that you can make a determination for yourself before I open my mouth and start pontificating
11
00:00:50.684 --> 00:00:54.204
upon what I think it means. I think that that's important because otherwise,
12
00:00:54.910 --> 00:01:00.510
I just, I'll tell you, you know, I would tell you the headline of what's going on and then pontificate
13
00:01:00.510 --> 00:01:29.710
about it and you would really not have the tools to use to be able to figure out for yourself what the hell's going on. Right. That, and so that's sort of the way the format of this show works. If you're, you know, if you're just tuning into new and also I curate this stuff. I spend the morning after I wake up, I have like, you know, a little bit of coffee going on and I look to see what is probably going to be important for for this particular day. Right.
14
00:01:29.950 --> 00:01:38.189
Instead of having you have to dig through seven or eight different Bitcoin news websites to figure out what's important and what's not.
15
00:01:38.885 --> 00:01:39.445
I,
16
00:01:39.925 --> 00:01:46.165
I basically do that heavy lifting for you. No, I don't use AI to go discover those
17
00:01:46.325 --> 00:01:47.765
particular articles.
18
00:01:48.085 --> 00:01:48.805
I just,
19
00:01:49.125 --> 00:01:52.405
I will like do a brief read of some of these things
20
00:01:53.080 --> 00:02:10.705
and figure out if it's important enough. And like, that's how I filter out, Oh, five things you need to know about investing in the Bitcoin market. No, I don't do shit like that. I'm going to bring you stuff like this Bitcoin bulls, Michael Saylor and Adam back slam BIP
21
00:02:10.705 --> 00:02:11.825
one ten
22
00:02:11.985 --> 00:02:13.425
ordinals proposal.
23
00:02:13.745 --> 00:02:17.825
That's going to be first up for the day. And then we're going to get into
24
00:02:18.945 --> 00:02:24.065
the Fort deadline for BIP one ten and what minor support looks like
25
00:02:24.420 --> 00:02:25.780

then yes,
26
00:02:25.859 --> 00:02:26.340
strategy
27
00:02:26.659 --> 00:02:28.260
is in the news,
28
00:02:28.739 --> 00:02:29.940
but this time
29
00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:32.660
they're stacking cash.
30
00:02:33.299 --> 00:02:35.700
The last time they did it, they sold Bitcoin.
31
00:02:35.859 --> 00:02:40.395
What did they do this time? Well, I'll tell you about it. In the second part of the show,
32
00:02:40.635 --> 00:02:43.435
bank of Thailand is getting nervous about
33
00:02:43.595 --> 00:02:46.474
tether stable coin because
34
00:02:46.474 --> 00:02:47.275
everybody
35
00:02:47.595 --> 00:02:55.490
should be, if you, unless you are a United States dollar operated economy, which most places aren't yet,
36
00:02:56.130 --> 00:02:57.010
your bank,
37
00:02:57.410 --> 00:02:59.970
your central bank, your finance ministers,
38
00:03:00.290 --> 00:03:05.245
your treasury guys, they're all going to be worried about things like USDT
39
00:03:05.245 --> 00:03:06.605
and USDC
40
00:03:06.605 --> 00:03:07.645
and Thailand
41
00:03:07.965 --> 00:03:09.245
is no exception.
42
00:03:09.645 --> 00:03:11.485
Chinese prosecutors
43
00:03:11.885 --> 00:03:17.485
want to treat using crypto mixers as evidence of ill will.
44
00:03:18.290 --> 00:03:26.770
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's what I was, you know, and I'm surprised it took him this long to get here, honestly, because it's, you know, China.
45
00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:31.170
And then Japan is wanting to launch a stable coin with yield.
46
00:03:32.555 --> 00:03:43.675
And you always need to ask yourself, where does the yield come from? So let's get back to the front of the show and do this one written by Braden Lindria from Coin Telegraph.
47
00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:49.880
Bitcoin bulls, Michael Sailor, and Adam back slam BIP one ten ordinals proposal
48
00:03:50.600 --> 00:03:51.400
strategy
49
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:52.760
executive chairman,
50
00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:57.720
Michael Sailor and Blockstream CEO, Adam back have doubled down on their opposition
51
00:03:58.635 --> 00:04:00.315
to BIP one ten
52
00:04:00.555 --> 00:04:03.275
a proposed temporary fork to limit
53
00:04:03.595 --> 00:04:05.515
non monetary transactions
54
00:04:05.755 --> 00:04:07.435
on the Bitcoin network.
55
00:04:07.755 --> 00:04:11.675
Bitcoin improvement proposal one ten was introduced December
56
00:04:11.675 --> 00:04:12.635
2025
57
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.280
to stop non fungible
58
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.000
token like ordinals inscriptions
59
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:26.320
and other arbitrary data from spamming the network and to preserve Bitcoin's main use as a peer to peer cash system.
60
00:04:27.205 --> 00:04:29.605
While critical of ordinals activity,
61
00:04:29.925 --> 00:04:37.765
Sailor and Adam Back fear that a fork could do more harm than good to the network's credibility.
62
00:04:38.245 --> 00:04:42.245
There are a 110 things more dangerous to Bitcoin than spam,
63
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.840
said sailor in a post on X on Saturday,
64
00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:49.880
adding that BIP one ten could invalidate
65
00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:50.760
ordinary
66
00:04:50.760 --> 00:04:51.720
transactions
67
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.240
on the network.
68
00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:00.014
BIP one ten is one of the more notable protocol level disputes in the Bitcoin development community
69
00:05:00.254 --> 00:05:03.854
ever since the block size wars that happened between
70
00:05:03.935 --> 00:05:06.014
2015 and 2017
71
00:05:06.335 --> 00:05:08.335
when ecosystem participants
72
00:05:08.335 --> 00:05:09.294
debated,
73
00:05:09.294 --> 00:05:11.615
whether it was worth risking a chain split
74
00:05:11.870 --> 00:05:14.830
to raise the block size limit for scalability.
75
00:05:15.230 --> 00:05:17.150
BIP one ten was
76
00:05:17.150 --> 00:05:17.950
introduced
77
00:05:17.950 --> 00:05:19.630
by pseudonymous
78
00:05:19.630 --> 00:05:20.830
Bitcoin developer,
79
00:05:20.830 --> 00:05:30.165
Dathon Ohm with the support of ocean protocol founder Luke Dasher or Luke Dash junior, depending on how you want to pronounce his name.
80
00:05:30.645 --> 00:05:33.445
BIP one ten will not be activated
81
00:05:33.765 --> 00:05:35.445
unless 55%
82
00:05:35.445 --> 00:05:42.165
of Bitcoin nodes validating blocks are in support of the proposal across a Bitcoin block
83
00:05:41.580 --> 00:05:42.380
period.
84
00:05:43.020 --> 00:05:46.140
The dispute comes at a time when ordinals activity
85
00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:52.860
is nearing all time lows with fewer than 10,000 ordinals inscribed into the Bitcoin blockchain
86
00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:57.185
on a daily basis over the last month. And that's down
87
00:05:57.345 --> 00:05:59.985
from more than 400,000
88
00:06:00.545 --> 00:06:02.985
seen during its peak of August
89
00:06:02.985 --> 00:06:03.825
2023.
90
00:06:05.185 --> 00:06:05.825
Meanwhile,
91
00:06:06.305 --> 00:06:12.570
back, Adam back offered a deeper critique of BIP one ten describing it as a quote quest
92
00:06:12.730 --> 00:06:15.370
to police other people in quote.
93
00:06:15.610 --> 00:06:17.690
He said Bitcoin's decentralization
94
00:06:17.690 --> 00:06:18.570
should mean
95
00:06:18.890 --> 00:06:20.970
you can impose your views on others,
96
00:06:21.450 --> 00:06:25.530
calling it incompatible with Bitcoin's cypherpunk ethos of permissionless
97
00:06:25.795 --> 00:06:27.635
censorship resistant money.
98
00:06:28.275 --> 00:06:37.875
Dasher and other BIP one ten proponents have called ordinals driven bloat a serious threat to the network prompting the need for an imminent fix.
99
00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:44.260
They have also argued BIP one ten wouldn't cause a chain split as many fear while adding
100
00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:47.620
that the BIP one ten fork imposes a temporary
101
00:06:48.020 --> 00:06:50.980
one year limit and thus won't invalidate
102
00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:52.660
fee paying transactions
103
00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:53.700
over the long term.
104
00:06:54.325 --> 00:06:56.645
Right. So that's, that's the article.
105
00:06:57.125 --> 00:07:02.325
And I'm actually kind of surprised that sailor waited into a BIP argument
106
00:07:02.405 --> 00:07:03.845
considering he's got,
107
00:07:04.485 --> 00:07:08.805
he's got more fish to fry than a fisherman in Japan. I I I'm,
108
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.639
he's got all kinds of shit going on with his
109
00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:14.639
yield bearing products,
110
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.199
and he can't seem to keep a stable peg
111
00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:18.960
on STRC.
112
00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:19.919
And so
113
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.360
in my mind,
114
00:07:22.555 --> 00:07:25.755
this, I wonder if he's just being like a tourist
115
00:07:25.915 --> 00:07:28.475
at this point, waiting into the development
116
00:07:28.795 --> 00:07:35.580
arguments that have been plaguing Bitcoin since its inception. And yes, I went through the 2015,
117
00:07:35.580 --> 00:07:39.660
2017 Bitcoin fork wars and they were not pleasant.
118
00:07:40.780 --> 00:07:42.540
And somehow or another
119
00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:45.740
people that know better like Luke Dasher
120
00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:50.300
are doing the exact same thing that Roger Ver instigated
121
00:07:50.435 --> 00:07:55.635
starting. Honestly, he started that Todd Roger Ver started talking about bigger blocks.
122
00:07:56.195 --> 00:07:58.275
I want to say at the end of twenty thirteen
123
00:07:58.595 --> 00:08:04.720
to the mid twenty fourteen and it really didn't ramp up until 2015.
124
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.000
And then it came to a head in 2017 when the fork actually
125
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:09.840
not only did it happen,
126
00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:14.639
it failed immediately. And if you don't remember that or you weren't here,
127
00:08:15.215 --> 00:08:20.015
yeah. They spent a lot of time scaring the bejesus out of people. Letters were written,
128
00:08:20.335 --> 00:08:22.015
signatures were signed,
129
00:08:22.255 --> 00:08:24.495
all kinds of crap happened to get
130
00:08:24.815 --> 00:08:31.140
four megabyte blocks or some such shit. I can't remember what it was. And then when they actually
131
00:08:31.140 --> 00:08:33.620
implemented the fork of Bitcoin,
132
00:08:34.100 --> 00:08:38.580
their side of the fork, the big, what would be known as the big blockers
133
00:08:39.060 --> 00:08:40.180
immediately
134
00:08:40.180 --> 00:08:45.915
failed. It never produced its first block because there was an error in the code.
135
00:08:47.275 --> 00:08:49.355
And if we had,
136
00:08:49.995 --> 00:08:52.795
if we had, if all of us had gone along with it,
137
00:08:53.435 --> 00:08:57.435
then Bitcoin would have failed on that day because
138
00:08:58.630 --> 00:08:59.670
it
139
00:08:59.750 --> 00:09:01.590
just didn't mind
140
00:09:01.830 --> 00:09:05.830
any blocks at all because it was a failure at the code base.
141
00:09:07.270 --> 00:09:07.830
And
142
00:09:08.390 --> 00:09:11.030
Luke dash junior was one of the proponents
143
00:09:11.345 --> 00:09:19.185
of not increasing the block size. He was on the right side of the block size wars, if I remember correctly.
144
00:09:19.825 --> 00:09:21.265
So he should know better.
145
00:09:22.145 --> 00:09:23.345
He should know better
146
00:09:23.790 --> 00:09:26.190
and all the other people should know better.
147
00:09:27.390 --> 00:09:30.029
But I don't think the miners are taking the bait.
148
00:09:30.350 --> 00:09:31.950
Cause remember what it said
149
00:09:32.589 --> 00:09:36.430
that the miners, they asked to signal like 55%
150
00:09:36.615 --> 00:09:40.535
of miners saying, yeah, we're going to do the, we're going to do the thing.
151
00:09:40.855 --> 00:09:42.215
I don't think they got it.
152
00:09:42.615 --> 00:09:44.215
Let's move to this next one.
153
00:09:45.255 --> 00:09:49.495
Bitcoin's BIP one ten fork deadline nears
154
00:09:49.654 --> 00:09:51.334
with minor support
155
00:09:51.530 --> 00:09:52.730
at zero.
156
00:09:53.690 --> 00:09:54.490
Zero.
157
00:09:55.610 --> 00:09:56.490
Zero.
158
00:09:56.810 --> 00:09:57.770
Nada.
159
00:09:58.090 --> 00:09:58.810
Nothing.
160
00:09:59.130 --> 00:10:01.610
This is written by Sharra Malwa
161
00:10:01.610 --> 00:10:03.290
out of CoinDesk.
162
00:10:04.285 --> 00:10:11.085
An infamous proposal to purge non financial data from the Bitcoin blockchain is heading toward a hard deadline early August,
163
00:10:11.485 --> 00:10:16.205
and the initial support it has gathered from miners is less than 1% so far,
164
00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:22.100
a signal of outsized opposition despite the immense social chatter around this topic.
165
00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:32.820
BIP one ten formerly titled the reduced data temporary soft fork is basically a fight over what Bitcoin block spaces for
166
00:10:33.515 --> 00:10:42.875
Bitcoin transactions can carry money and extra data. An op return section is the obvious note field for small bits of data within transactions
167
00:10:43.195 --> 00:10:46.315
and data pushes are another route
168
00:10:45.870 --> 00:10:52.430
where users can place larger chunks of raw data inside Bitcoin script or witness data,
169
00:10:52.990 --> 00:10:54.670
ordinals inscriptions,
170
00:10:54.830 --> 00:10:56.670
and some token schemes
171
00:10:56.830 --> 00:11:01.790
use those pathways to put images, text, or token metadata on chain
172
00:11:02.084 --> 00:11:04.885
BIP one ten would temporarily
173
00:11:05.204 --> 00:11:07.524
tighten those paths for one year.
174
00:11:08.084 --> 00:11:11.365
It would cap opera turn at the old small size
175
00:11:11.524 --> 00:11:16.084
block, most arbitrary data chunks above two fifty six bytes
176
00:11:16.569 --> 00:11:20.730
and restrict some script formats used mainly for data storage.
177
00:11:21.290 --> 00:11:30.009
Supporters say this keeps Bitcoin focused on payments and lowers node burden, but critics
think it turns a policy fight into a consensus rule
178
00:11:30.185 --> 00:11:33.385
and tells users which transactions are acceptable.
179
00:11:33.785 --> 00:11:38.024
Two of Bitcoin's most influential figures came out against it on Saturday
180
00:11:38.105 --> 00:11:42.505
and we talked about Michael Saylor and Adam Back. So I'm not going to rehash that.
181
00:11:44.260 --> 00:11:45.780
Bitcoin respectfully
182
00:11:45.780 --> 00:11:57.300
says no to what you want. Adam back did say adding that their real recourse if unconvinced is to group together and fork away, but the Bitcoin won't be joining it.
183
00:11:57.995 --> 00:11:59.915
And here's the here's
184
00:11:59.915 --> 00:12:01.834
really the kind of the important part.
185
00:12:02.394 --> 00:12:04.235
The support data shows
186
00:12:04.555 --> 00:12:06.875
what the broader market really thinks.
187
00:12:07.514 --> 00:12:12.475
BIP one ten does not rely on the usual path of overwhelming minor approval,
188
00:12:12.950 --> 00:12:15.990
but uses a user activated soft fork,
189
00:12:16.230 --> 00:12:20.710
a mechanism in which nodes enforce a rule, whether or not minors agree
190
00:12:20.950 --> 00:12:22.710
set to a 55%
191
00:12:22.710 --> 00:12:24.710
minor signaling threshold
192
00:12:24.790 --> 00:12:26.710
rather than the traditional
193
00:12:26.870 --> 00:12:28.550
95%
194
00:12:29.415 --> 00:12:31.255
backing is absent
195
00:12:31.335 --> 00:12:33.175
even at that significantly
196
00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:34.375
lower bar
197
00:12:34.775 --> 00:12:36.295
because miners
198
00:12:36.695 --> 00:12:37.975
signaling for this
199
00:12:38.615 --> 00:12:43.095
have never risen above 1% in any period
200
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:49.920
and stands at zero in the current one with no major mining pool behind it. According to the BIP one ten
201
00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:51.520
signaling monitor
202
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:57.279
among the nodes that store and relay the chain adoption sits in the low single digits
203
00:12:57.745 --> 00:13:00.305
carried almost entirely by
204
00:13:00.705 --> 00:13:01.985
Bitcoin knots
205
00:13:02.305 --> 00:13:09.585
an alternative to the dominant Bitcoin core software. We got a pause to add, to make sure that they, that, you know,
206
00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:12.020
that Bitcoin knots
207
00:13:12.420 --> 00:13:14.820
is the Bitcoin core implementation
208
00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:21.060
by Luke Dasher, who is a proponent, a huge proponent of BIP one ten
209
00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:23.460
knots is his
210
00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:24.420
version
211
00:13:24.765 --> 00:13:26.445
of the Bitcoin blockchain,
212
00:13:26.845 --> 00:13:36.765
right? It is, it's not core, but it basically is a fork of core Bitcoin core. And then the adjustments that were talked about, about limiting
213
00:13:36.845 --> 00:13:40.365
to two fifty six bytes, all that is, is in this
214
00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:42.390
Bitcoin knots.
215
00:13:42.790 --> 00:13:47.030
So that's what
Bitcoin knots is. It is Luke Dasher's
216
00:13:47.270 --> 00:13:49.350
version of Bitcoin core.
217
00:13:49.510 --> 00:13:53.350
Continuing on the deadline arrives regardless.
218
00:13:53.955 --> 00:13:59.475
The current signaling period runs from block 900And57600
219
00:13:59.555 --> 00:14:02.515
to 900And5900615
220
00:14:02.755 --> 00:14:09.635
and a voluntary lock in deadline falls at blocks 961,542
221
00:14:09.910 --> 00:14:13.590
in the following period. And that is expected early August
222
00:14:14.470 --> 00:14:17.430
nodes running BIP one ten software
223
00:14:17.430 --> 00:14:25.185
would then begin rejecting any block that does not signal support with activation projected near September
224
00:14:25.425 --> 00:14:32.145
in practice, a rule enforced by a few percent of nodes and almost no miners does not change Bitcoin for everyone,
225
00:14:32.785 --> 00:14:36.065
but would split off a minority chain.
226
00:14:36.145 --> 00:14:37.265
And as such
227
00:14:37.629 --> 00:14:41.149
Bitcoin's resistance to change is not written down anywhere,
228
00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:45.630
but is the product of thousands of independent operators
229
00:14:45.709 --> 00:14:50.750
who each have to opt in as a means of signaling consensus.
230
00:14:51.475 --> 00:14:54.515
The underlying spam concern is real. However,
231
00:14:54.995 --> 00:14:59.155
blocks have carried more non financial data since the October change
232
00:14:59.315 --> 00:15:04.435
and reasonable people see that as a drift from Bitcoin as money toward Bitcoin as a database,
233
00:15:04.910 --> 00:15:09.070
but Bitcoin changes only when the network agrees to run the change
234
00:15:09.230 --> 00:15:12.910
and on the evidence so far, it's not going to run this one.
235
00:15:13.630 --> 00:15:18.190
So that's the end of the article. BIP one ten has no support right now.
236
00:15:19.745 --> 00:15:26.625
And here's a couple, here's a couple of things that I want to say about that. First of all, that means absolutely jack shit right now.
237
00:15:27.985 --> 00:15:34.625
There you might actually see like some kind of version of a late July surprise
238
00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:36.460
where all of a sudden
239
00:15:36.779 --> 00:15:39.019
where we were completely unconcerned
240
00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:40.060
about this
241
00:15:40.380 --> 00:15:45.660
idiotic fork. And yes, I, I think that BIP one ten is
242
00:15:45.660 --> 00:15:46.220
idiotic.
243
00:15:47.675 --> 00:15:50.795
I think that there is some, I think there is
244
00:15:51.355 --> 00:15:53.755
some sparkles of truth
245
00:15:54.075 --> 00:15:56.875
to what the BIP one ten guys are saying.
246
00:15:57.195 --> 00:15:59.115
I don't like ordinals either.
247
00:15:59.355 --> 00:16:00.955
I don't like inscriptions.
248
00:16:00.955 --> 00:16:03.790
I never have. I think arbitrary
249
00:16:03.790 --> 00:16:06.350
data on the Bitcoin blockchain is
250
00:16:06.590 --> 00:16:08.190
well stupid,
251
00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:09.470
unwarranted,
252
00:16:09.550 --> 00:16:10.670
and honestly
253
00:16:10.830 --> 00:16:12.270
unproductive.
254
00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:13.710
However,
255
00:16:14.525 --> 00:16:16.125
what's the bigger picture?
256
00:16:17.405 --> 00:16:21.885
You can't tell me what I can do with my Bitcoin transaction.
257
00:16:22.365 --> 00:16:25.485
That's the most important part. You can't censor it.
258
00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:32.939
You can't not mine it unless I just refuse to give you some kind of actual
259
00:16:32.939 --> 00:16:33.740
fee.
260
00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:38.139
Like if I like somehow or another say, here's my transaction
261
00:16:38.235 --> 00:16:49.915
and I'm going to pay exactly 0 Satoshi's to get that mind. Well, you're probably not going to get that transaction mind. It's probably not going to be confirmed. Right. Just because you
262
00:16:49.915 --> 00:16:51.035
want it for free.
263
00:16:51.675 --> 00:16:53.834
Sorry, pal. Okay. So there's that.
264
00:16:55.650 --> 00:16:57.490
The other thing is
265
00:16:57.650 --> 00:16:59.570
why do they keep saying temporary?
266
00:17:00.290 --> 00:17:01.490
What does that do?
267
00:17:02.530 --> 00:17:03.490
Think about it.
268
00:17:03.970 --> 00:17:06.290
And I'm sure that there's some slick,
269
00:17:07.035 --> 00:17:09.355
very well thought out argumentation
270
00:17:09.515 --> 00:17:14.475
that Luke Dasher might tell me if I were to ask him this question directly. But honestly
271
00:17:14.715 --> 00:17:15.995
I don't see it.
272
00:17:16.795 --> 00:17:23.590
I hear lots of people. There's lots of good explanations why we should be bombing the fuck out of Iran.
273
00:17:23.830 --> 00:17:27.590
None of them actually make any sense, but I'm sure they're well reasoned.
274
00:17:28.230 --> 00:17:30.149
I'm sure that they sound good.
275
00:17:30.549 --> 00:17:34.710
I've been here before with the Iraq war with desert desert shield.
276
00:17:35.404 --> 00:17:39.085
Yeah. I mean, Saddam Hussein and and Gaddafi
277
00:17:39.085 --> 00:17:42.284
and I mean, it just goes on and on and on.
278
00:17:42.765 --> 00:17:45.244
You can make an argument for anything
279
00:17:45.725 --> 00:17:51.850
and make it sound good too. It depends on how well you, how good you are at word Smithy,
280
00:17:52.890 --> 00:18:02.250
but a temporary Fort prove does nothing. What, so what does that mean? What happens when the F like, if it's temporary, then that means that there's supposedly
281
00:18:02.250 --> 00:18:03.690
that there's an end to it.
282
00:18:04.465 --> 00:18:05.745
What happens?
283
00:18:06.385 --> 00:18:12.785
Do we go back? Would we be going back to the old way of doing transactions that would allow ordinals and inscriptions?
284
00:18:14.225 --> 00:18:19.185
There's another problem with the, all this is that Luke Dasher and
285
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:24.160
actually most of the BIP one ten argumentation that I've heard is all about child pornography
286
00:18:24.160 -->
00:18:25.759
on the Bitcoin blockchain.
287
00:18:25.760 --> 00:18:27.519
Son, you've already got it there.
288
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.800
There's been at least one block containing
289
00:18:31.405 --> 00:18:38.284
an obvious image of obvious child pornography and it's been there for like four years now
290
00:18:38.684 --> 00:18:42.284
or somewhere around there. Actually, it's probably older than that.
291
00:18:42.605 --> 00:18:57.309
I'm sure there's more I'm I'm I'm honestly sure there's more, but I've read several articles over my time here on the Bitcoin and podcast talking that talks about this one particular block and I can't remember what the fucking block number is. I don't care,
292
00:18:59.275 --> 00:19:00.475
but that's there.
293
00:19:01.195 --> 00:19:06.235
So what happens with Luke Dasher's BIP one ten? Does it go back and
294
00:19:06.635 --> 00:19:09.434
seek to excavate that transaction?
295
00:19:09.755 --> 00:19:19.360
Because if not, then why then why do BIP one ten in the first place? If there is at least one block that has clear evidence of the embedding
296
00:19:19.520 --> 00:19:23.120
of one image of actual child pornography,
297
00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:24.960
then BIP one ten doesn't matter
298
00:19:25.865 --> 00:19:28.505
unless you're going to go pull that block out of the chain,
299
00:19:29.465 --> 00:19:32.105
unless you're going to go like literally reindex
300
00:19:32.105 --> 00:19:33.945
the entire blockchain and
301
00:19:34.105 --> 00:19:48.809
look for anything. And at that point, what the hell does that blockchain even look like? Because it's built. They might even activate it even if they don't get MITRE support. Anybody can do anything with block. You can make whatever fork you want a Bitcoin.
302
00:19:49.130 --> 00:19:52.010
As long as you got somebody who's running that software
303
00:19:52.250 --> 00:19:57.154
and running a miner that is attached to a node that is running that software,
304
00:19:57.155 --> 00:20:00.674
then you are mining blocks on that soft fork
305
00:20:01.075 --> 00:20:04.995
or just that fork, whether hard fork or not doesn't really matter.
306
00:20:06.355 --> 00:20:09.075
It doesn't matter that they don't have any minor support.
307
00:20:10.030 --> 00:20:11.470
It really doesn't matter.
308
00:20:11.950 --> 00:20:14.350
They could mind it any way if they wanted to.
309
00:20:15.550 --> 00:20:16.590
But this,
310
00:20:16.670 --> 00:20:18.429
none of this makes sense to me.
311
00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:21.470
And the fact that like,
312
00:20:22.575 --> 00:20:25.455
if you were not for BIP one ten,
313
00:20:26.174 --> 00:20:30.575
the predominant argument is that you, you must be
314
00:20:30.895 --> 00:20:31.614
for
315
00:20:32.255 --> 00:20:33.614
child pornography,
316
00:20:34.174 --> 00:20:36.815
that that makes you a pedophile
317
00:20:37.770 --> 00:20:41.130
and that kind of libel and it is libel
318
00:20:41.770 --> 00:20:45.130
when you when you state publicly
319
00:20:46.810 --> 00:20:49.370
that somebody and you give their name
320
00:20:49.865 --> 00:20:52.585
is a, in this case pedophile
321
00:20:52.745 --> 00:20:54.665
and you have no proof
322
00:20:55.625 --> 00:20:59.785
and Nope. And Nope. Like let's say no proof even exists
323
00:21:00.265 --> 00:21:04.185
and you would have to manufacture that proof. And then that proof is actually a lie.
324
00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:07.120
That is the very definition
325
00:21:07.280 --> 00:21:09.760
of libel because you said it in public.
326
00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:11.520
It's now indelible
327
00:21:11.520 --> 00:21:15.920
like on the internet, like Luke dash junior has called several people pedophiles
328
00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:16.960
on X,
329
00:21:17.575 --> 00:21:22.855
which is fairly indelible unless of course he gets his entire X account blocked
330
00:21:23.015 --> 00:21:26.855
and then they just delete or delete it and they delete all his messages.
331
00:21:27.175 --> 00:21:29.735
And I'm sure there's a copy of it. It doesn't matter.
332
00:21:30.529 --> 00:21:32.209
You get my point.
333
00:21:32.850 --> 00:21:35.010
It's like writing it in a newspaper,
334
00:21:35.010 --> 00:21:37.169
which is where liable came from.
335
00:21:38.850 --> 00:21:41.889
If I make a statement that is untrue
336
00:21:41.970 --> 00:21:46.925
and I have no proof that, especially if I am defaming somebody,
337
00:21:46.925 --> 00:21:52.445
if I am literally calling them a pedophile in public without any proof whatsoever,
338
00:21:56.205 --> 00:21:56.765
I'm liable.
339
00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:06.460
How a lawsuit has not been brought against Luke Dasher in any of the other one ten guys is beyond my comprehension
340
00:22:06.780 --> 00:22:15.385
because if somebody calls me a pedophile and has no proof, I want to know exactly how the I can soothe them into the fucking ground.
341
00:22:16.905 --> 00:22:18.505
Unless you have proof,
342
00:22:19.385 --> 00:22:20.825
unless you have
343
00:22:20.985 --> 00:22:21.705
proof
344
00:22:21.945 --> 00:22:24.745
that I am
345
00:22:24.049 --> 00:22:29.330
in possession of looking at an absolutely love child pornography,
346
00:22:29.490 --> 00:22:37.490
you've got no proof, which means you called me a pedophile in public without any proof. And that means libel. And that means I can sue you.
347
00:22:39.105 --> 00:22:43.904
I could Sue Luke dash junior. If he said I was a pedophile and had no proof,
348
00:22:44.145 --> 00:22:45.825
I could take his ass to court
349
00:22:46.865 --> 00:22:50.705
as long as he writes it on X or some other public forum
350
00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:55.779
that is relatively indelible that I can prove at least one other person saw,
351
00:22:56.259 --> 00:23:01.860
can sue that person or I can, or I can Sue Luke dash junior if you were to say it. So it's
352
00:23:01.860 --> 00:23:03.059
very surprising
353
00:23:03.380 --> 00:23:06.100
that nobody has come out of the woodwork and say,
354
00:23:06.795 --> 00:23:09.515
you called me a pedophile. You have no proof.
355
00:23:10.075 --> 00:23:11.275
You're going down
356
00:23:12.075 --> 00:23:14.315
this, this BIP one ten.
357
00:23:15.115 --> 00:23:22.475
I still don't feel it as much in my bones or rather as the kick in the crotch that the block size wars were,
358
00:23:23.250 --> 00:23:25.490
but it is a waste of our time.
359
00:23:25.890 --> 00:23:29.409
And I really, really wish we could stop talking about it.
360
00:23:29.970 --> 00:23:34.210
Maybe after August, maybe we'll maybe we can figure it out after August.
361
00:23:34.370 --> 00:23:39.214
If there clearly is no more mining support at that, on that fork date,
362
00:23:39.375 --> 00:23:41.695
then maybe we can put it to bed. I don't know.
363
00:23:43.054 --> 00:23:44.174
It doesn't matter.
364
00:23:44.894 --> 00:23:47.534
All you have to do is go to oshigood.us
365
00:23:47.534 --> 00:23:53.289
though. You want to make yourself feel better. Get yourself some huddle butter. He's only got three huddle butters left.
366
00:23:53.690 --> 00:23:56.490
What is huddle butter? You might ask. Well,
367
00:23:56.890 --> 00:23:59.929
think peanut butter, except here's the ingredient list.
368
00:24:00.410 --> 00:24:01.370
Pecans,
369
00:24:01.530 --> 00:24:02.650
maple sugar,
370
00:24:02.810 --> 00:24:03.930
sea salt flakes,
371
00:24:04.205 --> 00:24:05.085
cinnamon,
372
00:24:05.245 --> 00:24:06.365
and black pepper.
373
00:24:06.925 --> 00:24:12.125
Dude, that's it. That's all that's in there. You can use this stuff on anything.
374
00:24:12.365 --> 00:24:17.085
It's made with locally sourced pecan straight from the Southeast USA.
375
00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:20.960
It's more nuanced than a two hour Bitcoin podcast,
376
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.400
small batch
377
00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:24.159
craft delivery.
378
00:24:24.800 --> 00:24:27.600
Wait a minute. No. Sorry. Small batch craft
379
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:28.559
delicacy
380
00:24:28.560 --> 00:24:36.294
can be enjoyed as a topping on anything edible or just straight out of the reusable glass jar. I saw a guy put this on a cooked steak
381
00:24:36.774 --> 00:24:37.974
and honestly
382
00:24:38.215 --> 00:24:39.654
it looked delicious.
383
00:24:39.735 --> 00:24:43.654
Now I haven't done it myself, but the guy that did that said it's delicious.
384
00:24:44.470 --> 00:24:47.509
And Oshi over at oshigood.us,
385
00:24:47.830 --> 00:25:03.585
he takes Bitcoin for his product because this is a circle p. It's where I bring plebs just like you with goods and services to plebs just like you who want to buy say goods and services, but you will be buying it in Bitcoin Cause if you're not selling it in Bitcoin, you're not in the circle P go
386
00:25:03.585 --> 00:25:05.825
to oshigood.us.
387
00:25:06.065 --> 00:25:08.705
That is oshigood.us.
388
00:25:09.105 --> 00:25:13.585
If you use the code Bitcoin and he won't give you a discount,
389
00:25:14.090 --> 00:25:20.809
but it lets Oshi know that I made a sale for him here on the circle P and that lets Oshi determine
390
00:25:21.610 --> 00:25:23.769
how he values that sale.
391
00:25:24.170 --> 00:25:36.024
And then he gets me back on the other side by giving me Satoshi's over the lightning network. That's how the circle P works. It's not a contract is hell. It's not even really a digital handshake.
392
00:25:36.505 --> 00:25:38.505
It's just an agreement
393
00:25:38.665 --> 00:25:44.265
between me and some people that I've found that I think have a really good product
394
00:25:44.690 --> 00:25:49.250
and want to do that as part of their lives. If not for their whole life,
395
00:25:50.210 --> 00:25:54.530
of working in the Fiat minds, they're building something for other Bitcoiners
396
00:25:54.530 --> 00:25:57.090
and Oshie good .us makes
397
00:25:57.625 --> 00:26:01.945
one of one of the coolest products that I've seen huddle butter.
398
00:26:02.505 --> 00:26:03.544
It's very,
399
00:26:04.184 --> 00:26:06.424
very difficult to go find
400
00:26:08.345 --> 00:26:10.505
butter that's made out of pecans.
401
00:26:11.470 --> 00:26:23.710
I like and I, you know, I can go to all manner of grocery stores that has grind your own peanut butter and I can grind my own cashew butter. I can grind my own peanut butter, roasted peanut butter. You know what they never have?
402
00:26:24.715 --> 00:26:32.474
Walnut butter or pecan butter. They never have the pecans and the walnuts. They just have like four different kinds of fricking peanuts and
403
00:26:32.715 --> 00:26:34.394
cashews and pistachios.
404
00:26:34.394 --> 00:26:36.955
I don't know what the deal is, but if you want
405
00:26:37.309 --> 00:26:42.909
real homemade pecan butter, get yourself some huddle butter from oshigood.us.
406
00:26:42.990 --> 00:26:46.269
Make sure you use the code Bitcoin and strategy
407
00:26:47.309 --> 00:26:48.110
sells
408
00:26:48.190 --> 00:26:51.070
$467,000,000
409
00:26:51.070 --> 00:26:51.870
of
410
00:26:53.085 --> 00:26:54.524
MSTR shares
411
00:26:54.925 --> 00:26:57.404
makes no Bitcoin purchases
412
00:26:57.485 --> 00:26:59.245
as USD reserve
413
00:26:59.245 --> 00:27:01.485
hits $3,000,000,000.
414
00:27:01.804 --> 00:27:03.485
James Hunt from the block.
415
00:27:05.500 --> 00:27:08.220
Bitcoin treasury company strategy sold
416
00:27:08.540 --> 00:27:11.740
approximately $466,700,000
417
00:27:11.740 --> 00:27:13.260
worth of MSTR
418
00:27:13.260 --> 00:27:18.940
shares last week according to an eight k filing with the securities and exchange commission on Monday.
419
00:27:19.625 --> 00:27:25.545
The firm said it sold 4,818,781
420
00:27:25.785 --> 00:27:26.665
MSTR
421
00:27:26.665 --> 00:27:30.425
shares between July 6 and July 12,
422
00:27:31.145 --> 00:27:32.720
but, or rather
423
00:27:33.040 --> 00:27:35.440
it did not buy nor
424
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:37.120
did they sell
425
00:27:37.280 --> 00:27:38.000
Bitcoin
426
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:39.600
during the period.
427
00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:47.120
Proceeds from the MSTR sales were used to boost strategies USD reserve by $450,000,000
428
00:27:46.774 --> 00:27:50.054
to get it up to 3,000,000,000 as of July 12
429
00:27:50.375 --> 00:27:54.134
strategy is therefore retained its Bitcoin holdings
430
00:27:54.294 --> 00:27:57.335
at 843,775
431
00:27:57.335 --> 00:27:59.414
Bitcoin worth around 53,000,000,000
432
00:27:59.710 --> 00:28:04.350
bought at an average price of $75,476
433
00:28:04.350 --> 00:28:05.309
per Bitcoin
434
00:28:05.470 --> 00:28:08.350
for a total cost of 63,700,000,000,
435
00:28:08.350 --> 00:28:09.790
including fees and expenses.
436
00:28:10.430 --> 00:28:11.870
Strategies holdings
437
00:28:12.034 --> 00:28:15.955
are still equivalent to around 4% of Bitcoin's $21,000,000
438
00:28:15.955 --> 00:28:20.355
supply cap or route dollar, sorry, 21,000,000 coin
439
00:28:20.355 --> 00:28:21.474
supply cap,
440
00:28:21.794 --> 00:28:24.515
but carry around $10,700,000,000
441
00:28:24.515 --> 00:28:30.450
of paper losses at current prices. Yeah. I don't give a shit about that. What I do care about is that
442
00:28:30.850 --> 00:28:31.970
as usual
443
00:28:32.130 --> 00:28:33.169
yesterday,
444
00:28:35.169 --> 00:28:37.169
sailor teased on x
445
00:28:37.650 --> 00:28:42.610
like a pending Bitcoin purchase because he always uses this orange dot plot
446
00:28:43.775 --> 00:28:53.534
that he's got in every time he's, or most of the time when he's pulled that thing out of the, out of the cupboard, you know, to, to parade before us on Sunday evenings,
447
00:28:53.855 --> 00:28:56.095
it's always been right before he bought Bitcoin.
448
00:28:56.490 --> 00:29:03.690
The last couple of times that he's done that, he has not bought Bitcoin. And one time he actually sold Bitcoin, but this time he did not sell Bitcoin
449
00:29:03.850 --> 00:29:10.970
somehow or another. He's found a whole bunch of buyers for a well over 4,000,000 shares of MSTR stock.
450
00:29:11.524 --> 00:29:13.524
So here's my question though.
451
00:29:14.725 --> 00:29:17.204
Hold on for a second. I don't know what the hell Oh,
452
00:29:17.445 --> 00:29:18.644
somehow or another
453
00:29:19.605 --> 00:29:23.044
somehow or another I got, got off track and
454
00:29:23.365 --> 00:29:25.764
sorry. It's
455
00:29:25.764 --> 00:29:28.540
early in the morning. Give me a break. He
456
00:29:30.140 --> 00:29:30.940
sold
457
00:29:31.420 --> 00:29:35.100
approximately $466,700,000
458
00:29:35.100 --> 00:29:36.460
worth of MSTR
459
00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:37.740
shares last week.
460
00:29:38.060 --> 00:29:39.740
Okay. My question is this.
461
00:29:40.985 --> 00:29:42.585
Did he sell
462
00:29:42.905 --> 00:29:44.105
those shares
463
00:29:44.585 --> 00:29:45.785
out of
464
00:29:47.065 --> 00:29:52.985
shares that were previously held by micro strat or strategy itself? You formerly micro strategy
465
00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:55.299
Or did they print those
shares?
466
00:29:55.860 --> 00:29:59.219
Because there's a very big difference between which one.
467
00:30:00.100 --> 00:30:01.619
If they sold
468
00:30:03.059 --> 00:30:04.580
previously held
469
00:30:04.580 --> 00:30:06.500
micro or MSTR shares,
470
00:30:07.375 --> 00:30:08.095
then
471
00:30:08.414 --> 00:30:09.934
no harm, no foul
472
00:30:10.015 --> 00:30:13.215
kind of except that now they don't have as many MSTR
473
00:30:13.215 --> 00:30:14.014
shares,
474
00:30:14.414 --> 00:30:16.575
held by the company as they did.
475
00:30:17.615 --> 00:30:20.335
If they printed those shares to sell,
476
00:30:20.655 --> 00:30:22.174
that's a bigger problem,
477
00:30:22.870 --> 00:30:26.070
a much bigger problem because it dilutes
478
00:30:26.390 --> 00:30:30.469
the shareholders that already exist. It's like printing money.
479
00:30:30.789 --> 00:30:33.349
If I've got like a $100 and
480
00:30:33.350 --> 00:30:35.270
they, there's only $10,000
481
00:30:35.270 --> 00:30:35.909
in the world,
482
00:30:36.505 --> 00:30:40.744
but the United States fed decides to print, I don't know,
483
00:30:41.304 --> 00:30:42.985
another $100,000,000
484
00:30:42.985 --> 00:30:49.225
might, if I'm holding a $100 against 10,000 and all of a sudden like $400,000,000
485
00:30:49.225 --> 00:30:53.460
gets printed, My $100 is a worth a fraction
486
00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:56.019
has a fraction of the buying power.
487
00:30:56.340 --> 00:30:59.619
The same is exact. The same thing happens here.
488
00:31:00.260 --> 00:31:02.340
And that's what is not said.
489
00:31:02.660 --> 00:31:13.195
I do not know. And I've read three different articles about this. I do not know if micro strategy printed these shares for sale diluting. They're already,
490
00:31:13.675 --> 00:31:19.355
the, the people that already hold their my, MSTR shares or if they sold their own.
491
00:31:20.070 --> 00:31:23.669
And that's a difference that's worth noting, ladies and gentlemen.
492
00:31:23.990 --> 00:31:25.029
Let's run the numbers.
493
00:31:34.894 --> 00:31:35.695
CNBC
494
00:31:35.695 --> 00:31:37.294
features and commodities,
495
00:31:37.294 --> 00:31:44.254
and we're bombing the crap out of Iran. And if I didn't know that from the news headlines, I would know it from these energy prices.
496
00:31:44.735 --> 00:31:49.774
Merbon crude is up five and a half points to $74.92
497
00:31:49.774 --> 00:31:54.310
a barrel. Brent Norsey is up four and a half points to $79.42
498
00:31:54.310 --> 00:31:56.470
and West Texas intermediate crude
499
00:31:56.630 --> 00:32:00.230
up four and a half percent to $74.65
500
00:32:00.230 --> 00:32:02.230
natural gas is a hedge
501
00:32:02.804 --> 00:32:04.245
1.7%
502
00:32:04.245 --> 00:32:05.364
to the downside
503
00:32:05.605 --> 00:32:07.764
coming in at $2.88
504
00:32:07.764 --> 00:32:11.204
per thousand cubic feet and gasoline is up three and a quarter
505
00:32:11.524 --> 00:32:13.125
to $3.08
506
00:32:13.125 --> 00:32:13.924
a gallon
507
00:32:14.245 --> 00:32:25.770
metals. As you might imagine, are taking it in the nuts today. Palladium down a point, but gold is down two and a quarter to woo man is scathingly close to losing $4,000
508
00:32:25.770 --> 00:32:26.649
an ounce.
509
00:32:26.890 --> 00:32:28.810
It's right at 4,022
510
00:32:28.810 --> 00:32:29.610
and a half
511
00:32:30.065 --> 00:32:32.225
platinum is down 0.19%
512
00:32:32.225 --> 00:32:37.345
silver is down almost three points to $58.44
513
00:32:37.425 --> 00:32:39.105
but copper is up
514
00:32:39.585 --> 00:32:42.865
probably because of the AI play point 72%
515
00:32:42.865 --> 00:32:43.585
to the upside,
516
00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:46.700
dollars 6 and 32¢ a pound.
517
00:32:47.500 --> 00:32:52.460
Ag is mixed mostly in the red. Biggest loser today is chocolate 4.6%
518
00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:53.499
to the downside.
519
00:32:53.820 --> 00:32:57.100
Biggest winner is the corn 1.5
520
00:32:57.179 --> 00:33:06.114
to the upside, live cattle up a half lean hogs moving sideways, but in the green and feeder cattle up 0.82%
521
00:33:06.595 --> 00:33:15.200
the S and P is down a third as you might imagine because you know, bombing Iran doesn't help the stock market. NASDAQ is down 1.12%.
522
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:19.760
Dow is down a quarter and the S and P mini is down 0.19%.
523
00:33:19.760 --> 00:33:21.440
And then there's Bitcoin, which is
524
00:33:21.760 --> 00:33:27.840
down again today, but still holding pretty decent at 62,640.
525
00:33:28.455 --> 00:33:31.734
A market cap is $1,260,000,000,000
526
00:33:31.815 --> 00:33:34.294
We can get 15.6
527
00:33:34.294 --> 00:33:42.615
ounces of our favorite shiny metal rock with our one Bitcoin of which there are 20,055,619.89
528
00:33:42.615 --> 00:33:45.940
of an average fees per block or low 0.02
529
00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:48.580
BTC taking in fees on a per block basis.
530
00:33:48.740 --> 00:34:00.605
It's about 42 blocks carrying eighty nine and eighty nine thousand unconfirmed transactions waiting to clear at high priority rates of two sets per V byte low party will get you in a 0.6
531
00:34:01.165 --> 00:34:04.365
hash rate is dipped again, eight seventy
532
00:34:04.365 --> 00:34:06.365
seven extra hashes per second.
533
00:34:06.685 --> 00:34:09.005
I am completely unconcerned with this number.
534
00:34:10.430 --> 00:34:13.230
People seem to be really weirded out by that.
535
00:34:13.790 --> 00:34:15.790
We were we were secure
536
00:34:15.790 --> 00:34:16.430
at
537
00:34:16.750 --> 00:34:17.710
150
538
00:34:17.710 --> 00:34:19.390
extra hashes per second.
539
00:34:20.430 --> 00:34:22.750
I I it'll
540
00:34:22.750 --> 00:34:27.285
be fine guys. It'll it'll it'll be fine. I promise. A reminder,
541
00:34:27.285 --> 00:34:29.045
bitcoinandshow.com,
542
00:34:29.045 --> 00:34:31.365
the bitcoinandshow.com.
543
00:34:31.445 --> 00:34:32.805
Bitcoinandshow.com
544
00:34:32.805 --> 00:34:33.925
is my website.
545
00:34:34.085 --> 00:34:37.445
And you can support the show directly there financially
546
00:34:37.525 --> 00:34:38.805
by buying a subscription.
547
00:34:39.720 --> 00:34:54.440
Yes, you can get one for free. Both of them require email. No, I'm not going to give your email out. No, I'm not going to sell your email. Those are my emails. Well, actually they're your emails, but you've entrusted them to me. I'm not going to bust that trust, right? The only way that
548
00:34:55.185 --> 00:35:01.505
anybody could get ahold of your email out of me is somehow or another hack my web host provider.
549
00:35:01.985 --> 00:35:03.025
That's,
550
00:35:03.585 --> 00:35:04.705
that's about it
551
00:35:04.945 --> 00:35:16.230
because I am not going to turn it over And you can get a subscription at five bucks a month or you can, you know, say, screw it. I'll just give me, get and give me $50 and you get it for the whole year
552
00:35:16.790 --> 00:35:18.470
or you could get it for free.
553
00:35:18.710 --> 00:35:19.830
Now here's the deal.
554
00:35:20.310 --> 00:35:21.270
I don't like
555
00:35:22.135 --> 00:35:23.175
paywalling
556
00:35:23.335 --> 00:35:27.495
like I, or rather it's like, I don't like coming up with,
557
00:35:27.895 --> 00:35:29.255
you know, extra,
558
00:35:29.975 --> 00:35:33.415
extra content that nobody else can see unless they pay me.
559
00:35:33.895 --> 00:35:36.695
This is a value for value podcast.
560
00:35:36.810 --> 00:35:40.650
And what I'm trying to do here is to bring you value
561
00:35:41.370 --> 00:35:45.530
that you see as value and determine for yourself
562
00:35:45.850 --> 00:35:56.685
how much value you would like to give back to me. It can either be nothing or you can give me $50 for the year or you can give me $5 every month or something like that. And it just tells me,
563
00:35:57.165 --> 00:35:58.205
you know, that I'm
564
00:35:59.805 --> 00:36:02.925
giving you value because that's what this is all about.
565
00:36:03.165 --> 00:36:09.590
The value for value pod podcasting two point o value verse, whatever you want to call it.
566
00:36:10.069 --> 00:36:12.310
This is the way that we've got to go.
567
00:36:12.950 --> 00:36:23.465
We've got to be able to support each other. We've got to be able to spin up circular economies of all kinds, not just Bitcoin economies, but like content
568
00:36:23.465 --> 00:36:24.905
creation economies
569
00:36:24.985 --> 00:36:27.785
where we're not dependent on advertisers,
570
00:36:28.505 --> 00:36:29.385
sponsors,
571
00:36:30.265 --> 00:36:38.940
have you, where we're more not even really dependent upon each other as much as we're supporting each other, not because we have to,
572
00:36:39.180 --> 00:36:43.500
but because we want to. And you can do that at bitcoinandshow.com
573
00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:46.540
that's bitcoinandshow.com
574
00:36:46.914 --> 00:36:48.275
from the
575
00:36:48.595 --> 00:36:50.035
Bernanke barnacle,
576
00:36:50.035 --> 00:36:54.435
which was Friday's
episode of Bitcoin. And I got no waste BTC signs
577
00:36:54.515 --> 00:36:58.435
with 3,000 sats that asked the ever important question.
578
00:36:58.674 --> 00:37:01.394
Do you have an opinion on BIP one ten? Thank you.
579
00:37:02.070 --> 00:37:03.110
Why? Yes.
580
00:37:03.430 --> 00:37:04.470
Yes, I do.
581
00:37:04.870 --> 00:37:08.790
I don't like it. And you've already heard many reasons why,
582
00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:16.710
but no, I, I don't like BIP one ten and I, what I don't like even more than BIP one ten
583
00:37:17.095 --> 00:37:21.015
is the aggravation that it's causing. I will say this,
584
00:37:22.135 --> 00:37:24.135
what are these people thinking
585
00:37:24.455 --> 00:37:26.615
about trying to push this through
586
00:37:27.335 --> 00:37:33.255
when Bitcoin might, some Bitcoin miners are fully pivoting to AI
587
00:37:32.720 --> 00:37:36.560
while the smarter miners are just adding AI,
588
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:38.000
compute power
589
00:37:38.160 --> 00:37:40.000
to their portfolio.
590
00:37:40.640 --> 00:37:44.000
Because I just told you we have, you know, we we've come down from
591
00:37:44.815 --> 00:37:49.295
whatever Tara had not, it's not Tara hash, whatever comes after XA,
592
00:37:49.695 --> 00:37:54.975
whatever that hash number we've come down from one point o whatever that is to 877
593
00:37:54.975 --> 00:38:02.640
extra hashes per second. And no, I'm not concerned with it. But if I was somebody who was depending on minor support
594
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:04.560
to get my shit through,
595
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:09.520
I would imagine that this is not the time to be distracting them or trying to
596
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:11.360
get the miners attention.
597
00:38:12.045 --> 00:38:15.405
I think their attention is somewhere else right now.
598
00:38:15.805 --> 00:38:16.445
So
599
00:38:16.765 --> 00:38:18.685
depending on these people to
600
00:38:18.925 --> 00:38:21.965
give a shit about what you're doing with your fork
601
00:38:22.444 --> 00:38:23.165
is
602
00:38:24.600 --> 00:38:27.960
I think it's a fool's game, man. Wrong time.
603
00:38:28.520 --> 00:38:29.640
The wrong
604
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:36.440
time to do it. Oak Grove with a thousand sats says it's Friday and he gives me a YouTube
605
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.520
video to watch and I haven't watched it yet.
606
00:38:39.405 --> 00:38:42.765
Jason Highwood two fifty says, thanks for the show. You're welcome.
607
00:38:43.005 --> 00:38:49.965
Nick Dose with two forty one sat says cheers right back at you. And Nostragang with a hundred and one sat says, thank
608
00:38:50.285 --> 00:38:50.685
you.
609
00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:53.980
You're welcome. And that's the weather report.
610
00:39:03.020 --> 00:39:08.375
Welcome to part two of the news that you can use. Bank of Thailand targets USDT
611
00:39:08.855 --> 00:39:10.535
and cash flow
612
00:39:10.855 --> 00:39:12.695
in gray money crackdown.
613
00:39:12.695 --> 00:39:15.495
Martin
Young writing this one for CoinTelegraph.
614
00:39:16.295 --> 00:39:18.135
Thailand central bank,
615
00:39:18.375 --> 00:39:19.815
the central bank
616
00:39:19.830 --> 00:39:21.670
is stepping up stablecoin
617
00:39:21.670 --> 00:39:27.110
surveillance as part of a wider effort to crack down on money laundering,
618
00:39:27.270 --> 00:39:28.710
illicit finance,
619
00:39:28.870 --> 00:39:30.630
and gray money in the country.
620
00:39:31.605 --> 00:39:34.405
The bank of Thailand is working with the kingdom's
621
00:39:34.405 --> 00:39:39.445
SEC or Securities and Exchange Commission to audit high volume stablecoin transactions
622
00:39:39.685 --> 00:39:42.805
with a focus on USDT
623
00:39:43.045 --> 00:39:47.605
cash transactions and currency exchanges to identify and stop illicit
624
00:39:47.740 --> 00:39:48.780
financial flows.
625
00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:49.580
Quote,
626
00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:55.020
the measure we are implementing are not short term fixes. They require the continuous
627
00:39:55.020 --> 00:39:55.820
deployment
628
00:39:55.980 --> 00:39:58.540
of multiple parallel strategies.
629
00:39:58.780 --> 00:40:01.340
Bank of Thailand governor Vithai
630
00:40:01.815 --> 00:40:06.135
Rathena Korn said according to local media outlets,
631
00:40:06.855 --> 00:40:11.735
Thailand is targeting the gray economy, which largely consists of cash
632
00:40:11.974 --> 00:40:14.375
that may have come from suspicious
633
00:40:14.375 --> 00:40:15.175
origins
634
00:40:15.549 --> 00:40:18.670
such as scam call centers that have proliferated in the region.
635
00:40:19.150 --> 00:40:21.070
While there are no reliable figures
636
00:40:21.150 --> 00:40:22.670
for the gray economy,
637
00:40:23.069 --> 00:40:30.510
twenty twenty five scam losses may have amounted to as much as $3,400,000,000
638
00:40:28.065 --> 00:40:29.984
amid 173,000,000
639
00:40:29.984 --> 00:40:31.905
scam calls and texts.
640
00:40:32.464 --> 00:40:36.945
Stable coins have become a very popular method of transferring large amounts
641
00:40:37.105 --> 00:40:39.025
due to near instant
642
00:40:39.505 --> 00:40:40.785
cross border settlement.
643
00:40:41.950 --> 00:40:46.750
This move will expand commercial bank compliance duties across cash networks,
644
00:40:47.150 --> 00:40:48.350
currency exchanges,
645
00:40:48.990 --> 00:40:51.790
gold bullion trading, and suspicious
646
00:40:51.790 --> 00:40:58.255
stable coin transactions in an effort to prevent regulated entities from facilitating corruption
647
00:40:58.415 --> 00:40:59.215
or
648
00:41:00.335 --> 00:41:01.615
shadow economies.
649
00:41:02.415 --> 00:41:07.215
High value cash transactions will also require a source of funds declaration
650
00:41:06.770 --> 00:41:13.090
and exchanges of large volumes of big bank notes for smaller denominations without clear business reasons
651
00:41:13.250 --> 00:41:15.250
will also be monitored.
652
00:41:15.490 --> 00:41:19.890
Cash deposits of more than 5,000,000 bought or $150,000
653
00:41:19.890 --> 00:41:22.050
us also require
654
00:41:22.145 --> 00:41:23.425
full disclosure.
655
00:41:24.065 --> 00:41:24.945
Thailand
656
00:41:25.425 --> 00:41:31.905
has often been touted as a crypto Haven, but digital asset and stable coin payments are still outlawed
657
00:41:31.905 --> 00:41:33.585
by the central bank.
658
00:41:33.905 --> 00:41:37.585
And there has been regular rule tightening on crypto businesses.
659
00:41:38.040 --> 00:41:44.360
Crypto trading remains legal with the country's largest exchange bit cub seeking about $26,000,000
660
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:46.760
or seeing about $26,000,000
661
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:48.760
in day daily volume. However,
662
00:41:49.240 --> 00:41:51.880
almost 40% of that is foreign exchange
663
00:41:52.145 --> 00:41:54.065
with the USDT
664
00:41:54.145 --> 00:41:58.705
Thailand to bot pair being the most popular according to CoinGecko.
665
00:41:59.105 --> 00:42:01.505
Thailand's banks imposed sweeping
666
00:42:01.505 --> 00:42:02.785
account restrictions
667
00:42:02.944 --> 00:42:04.785
and froze 3,000,000
668
00:42:04.785 --> 00:42:09.200
bank accounts last year as part of its crackdown on mule accounts,
669
00:42:09.680 --> 00:42:12.000
gray capital and suspicious activity.
670
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:12.800
However,
671
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:14.960
thousands of individuals
672
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:18.000
and legitimate businesses were caught in the dragnet
673
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:21.599
in what media reports described at the time as quote,
674
00:42:22.235 --> 00:42:24.555
a scammer crackdown gone wrong
675
00:42:24.955 --> 00:42:28.155
in quote. And that's also the end of the article.
676
00:42:28.555 --> 00:42:30.315
So let's get back up here.
677
00:42:32.715 --> 00:42:36.075
High value cash transactions
678
00:42:35.410 --> 00:42:38.290
require a source of funds
679
00:42:38.290 --> 00:42:39.170
declaration
680
00:42:39.570 --> 00:42:45.650
and exchanges of large volumes of big bank notes for smaller denominations
681
00:42:45.810 --> 00:42:50.050
without a clear business reason will also be monitored
682
00:42:51.224 --> 00:42:53.785
Without clear business reasons,
683
00:42:53.944 --> 00:42:55.145
who determines
684
00:42:55.305 --> 00:42:56.185
what a
685
00:42:56.585 --> 00:42:57.385
clear
686
00:42:57.385 --> 00:42:58.905
business reason
687
00:42:59.065 --> 00:42:59.464
is?
688
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:03.720
You know,
689
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:09.160
this has nothing to do with the gray market and you know what I'm about to say.
690
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:10.920
It's about control
691
00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:13.400
and they're needing control. Why?
692
00:43:14.375 --> 00:43:18.215
Cause shit in the background is breaking out of control.
693
00:43:18.775 --> 00:43:21.015
This is not just Thailand.
694
00:43:21.494 --> 00:43:25.494
This is the same refrain we see from The United States,
695
00:43:26.470 --> 00:43:27.270
Canada,
696
00:43:27.350 --> 00:43:29.670
Mexico, Australia, New Zealand,
697
00:43:30.150 --> 00:43:31.190
the EU,
698
00:43:31.990 --> 00:43:32.790
UK.
699
00:43:33.030 --> 00:43:34.390
I mean everybody.
700
00:43:34.870 --> 00:43:36.790
Why? Because it's a global economy.
701
00:43:37.750 --> 00:43:40.005
What does that matter? Well, all the,
702
00:43:40.565 --> 00:43:44.005
money printing is coming home to roost all over the place.
703
00:43:45.605 --> 00:43:47.365
Shit's breaking out of control.
704
00:43:49.204 --> 00:43:50.485
All these governments
705
00:43:50.645 --> 00:43:52.085
are basically following,
706
00:43:52.410 --> 00:43:56.890
you know, Christine Lagarde statement that said, if you allow an escape hatch,
707
00:43:57.049 --> 00:43:58.570
the people will use it.
708
00:43:59.530 --> 00:44:02.170
Escape from what Ms. Lagarde?
709
00:44:03.289 --> 00:44:07.849
The he said the answer is really easy escape from these guys, these central bankers,
710
00:44:09.105 --> 00:44:09.825
governments
711
00:44:10.065 --> 00:44:11.025
in general.
712
00:44:11.745 --> 00:44:15.105
And the other thing that really bugs me here is that,
713
00:44:16.465 --> 00:44:17.985
this statement right here,
714
00:44:18.385 --> 00:44:22.465
stable coin payments are still outlawed by the central bank of Thailand.
715
00:44:23.630 --> 00:44:24.590
Does, when
716
00:44:24.910 --> 00:44:26.830
does the central bank make law?
717
00:44:27.550 --> 00:44:28.510
Isn't that
718
00:44:28.830 --> 00:44:32.350
for the legislature and the executive branch to do?
719
00:44:32.830 --> 00:44:34.990
And then the judicial branch
720
00:44:36.125 --> 00:44:38.285
to interpret and enforce,
721
00:44:38.365 --> 00:44:40.845
well not enforce as much as interpret
722
00:44:40.845 --> 00:44:42.525
the enforcement comes from
723
00:44:43.005 --> 00:44:44.445
well other places.
724
00:44:44.605 --> 00:44:47.325
And yeah, I know Thailand isn't The United States,
725
00:44:47.885 --> 00:44:49.085
but a lot of these countries
726
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:53.840
kind of have very similar structures. There is a legislature,
727
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:55.840
there's an executive,
728
00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:58.160
and then there's the judicial.
729
00:44:59.359 --> 00:45:01.280
This is, this is not uncommon
730
00:45:02.095 --> 00:45:06.735
around the world. It's not just part, you know, in The United States,
731
00:45:07.215 --> 00:45:11.615
Thailand has a very similar, it has a similar structure in, in so far as
732
00:45:11.855 --> 00:45:12.895
legislature,
733
00:45:13.295 --> 00:45:14.735
judicial and executive.
734
00:45:16.029 --> 00:45:16.670
So,
735
00:45:17.789 --> 00:45:23.550
you know, and I saw, and I've been seeing this in India where the central bank is, is making laws
736
00:45:24.910 --> 00:45:27.630
is the central bank part of the legislature.
737
00:45:28.275 --> 00:45:30.994
It's gotta be the answer to that has gotta be no.
738
00:45:31.474 --> 00:45:34.035
It's gotta have some kind
of separation.
739
00:45:34.835 --> 00:45:36.355
So when you allow
740
00:45:36.355 --> 00:45:40.035
central banks to start making laws, not rules,
741
00:45:40.755 --> 00:45:41.234
laws
742
00:45:42.330 --> 00:45:44.650
that you can get in trouble for
743
00:45:44.890 --> 00:45:46.730
on the enforcement arm.
744
00:45:47.450 --> 00:45:51.770
We've got a huge problem because these people, as far as I know,
745
00:45:52.170 --> 00:45:53.450
no central bank,
746
00:45:53.690 --> 00:45:55.610
person is actually elected
747
00:45:55.610 --> 00:45:57.690
by the people to represent them.
748
00:45:58.325 --> 00:46:00.325
And if you're going to make laws
749
00:46:00.404 --> 00:46:02.645
that can throw people in jail
750
00:46:02.964 --> 00:46:04.085
and you
751
00:46:04.085 --> 00:46:06.484
were not elected to represent them,
752
00:46:06.964 --> 00:46:08.964
you see where the problem lies.
753
00:46:09.605 --> 00:46:14.600
And we keep reading language like this in these stories and we keep not
754
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:17.240
stopping right there and saying, hey, look,
755
00:46:17.720 --> 00:46:20.680
what does the central bank have to do with making laws?
756
00:46:21.160 --> 00:46:22.920
Maybe making rules
757
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:27.240
that can be interpreted into law by a legislative
758
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:28.520
branch of a government
759
00:46:29.135 --> 00:46:33.855
or something along those lines. But to make the law themselves and have it enforced
760
00:46:34.175 --> 00:46:35.455
at the same
761
00:46:36.974 --> 00:46:37.935
efficacy
762
00:46:38.415 --> 00:46:46.190
that legislative laws are enforced at. I don't know, man. Sounds to me like a lot of governments are losing control.
763
00:46:46.510 --> 00:46:53.790
They see it happening in the background and they're trying to stop it from basically being presented to their populations
764
00:46:54.110 --> 00:46:55.950
in mass. Because if that were to happen,
765
00:46:56.664 --> 00:47:00.184
we might end up with the world wide
766
00:47:00.184 --> 00:47:01.305
civil war
767
00:47:01.704 --> 00:47:04.185
that my father used to tell me was
768
00:47:04.585 --> 00:47:06.025
just around the corner.
769
00:47:06.505 --> 00:47:08.025
Okay. Onto China
770
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:17.160
whose prosecutors float threatening crypto mixer privacy coin use as a sign of money laundering. So this is basically
771
00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:18.520
pre crime.
772
00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:20.920
Crip, decrypt.co
773
00:47:21.080 --> 00:47:22.520
written by Steven Graves.
774
00:47:24.065 --> 00:47:31.185
An article in the official newspaper of China's top prosecutor's offices laid out a framework for prosecuting crypto money laundering,
775
00:47:31.345 --> 00:47:33.905
proposing that courts presume criminal intent
776
00:47:34.065 --> 00:47:42.640
when suspects use coin mixers and privacy coins and that the state build a platform to sell off seized cryptocurrency.
777
00:47:43.520 --> 00:47:47.760
The piece
ran in the theory section of the procuratorre
778
00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:48.880
daily,
779
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:51.119
the newspaper of the supreme people's
780
00:47:51.525 --> 00:47:52.325
procure
781
00:47:52.325 --> 00:48:02.325
a torrent. I guess I cannot pronounce his name and was written by two distinct prosecutors in Hunan province and a university law professor.
782
00:48:02.565 --> 00:48:11.010
It carries no legal force, but articles like it offer a window into the thinking that's taking shape inside of China's prosecutorial
783
00:48:11.010 --> 00:48:11.730
system,
784
00:48:11.970 --> 00:48:17.010
which charged more than 3,000 people with crypto related money laundering in 2024 alone.
785
00:48:18.215 --> 00:48:24.135
And then they talk about China's dedicated money laundering offense. That's I don't really need to get,
786
00:48:24.615 --> 00:48:30.455
get into that because the first paragraph is all you need to hear
787
00:48:31.550 --> 00:48:33.230
just by using,
788
00:48:34.590 --> 00:48:36.270
just by using
789
00:48:37.550 --> 00:48:38.670
cryptocurrency
790
00:48:38.670 --> 00:48:39.630
mixers
791
00:48:39.630 --> 00:48:42.190
or privacy coins or whatever
792
00:48:42.590 --> 00:48:46.025
that you are in fact found guilty automatically
793
00:48:46.025 --> 00:48:48.985
or at least under suspicion as being guilty
794
00:48:49.385 --> 00:48:51.705
of money laundering automatically.
795
00:48:52.905 --> 00:48:54.665
They don't care about your intent
796
00:48:54.744 --> 00:49:01.310
or they don't, they don't care about asking you questions as to why they just, they're just going to want to assume
797
00:49:01.550 --> 00:49:04.590
that you're clearly laundering money again.
798
00:49:05.310 --> 00:49:09.070
Shit in the background of all these governments is breaking loose
799
00:49:09.950 --> 00:49:14.815
and all of these things that you hear about like EU chat control
800
00:49:15.135 --> 00:49:20.735
and all kinds of these rules and laws that are being made by quote unquote central banks
801
00:49:20.895 --> 00:49:25.055
and all this, this legislation that's going on around the world
802
00:49:25.340 --> 00:49:27.420
is in my opinion,
803
00:49:28.060 --> 00:49:29.020
these governments
804
00:49:29.100 --> 00:49:32.060
and other quasi governmental institutions
805
00:49:32.300 --> 00:49:34.140
throwing up a wall
806
00:49:34.620 --> 00:49:35.820
to contain
807
00:49:35.900 --> 00:49:38.780
the onslaught that is going on behind the scenes.
808
00:49:39.575 --> 00:49:45.335
That's what I think is happening. It is a huge gut feeling because I am not in anybody's
809
00:49:45.335 --> 00:49:46.295
inner circle.
810
00:49:46.855 --> 00:49:52.055
Well, let me make that clear. I am not in any inner circle. I have no
811
00:49:52.430 --> 00:49:53.870
magical knowledge.
812
00:49:53.870 --> 00:49:59.710
Nobody's calling me on the phone who is in the inner circle saying, Hey Dave, you might want to re I'm literally
813
00:50:00.590 --> 00:50:01.550
for
814
00:50:01.550 --> 00:50:02.910
lack of a better phrase,
815
00:50:03.550 --> 00:50:04.990
I'm making it up,
816
00:50:05.390 --> 00:50:06.990
but it's because I have a gut feeling.
817
00:50:08.184 --> 00:50:13.065
This is happening more and more and more and more and more. And it's
818
00:50:13.464 --> 00:50:14.825
mainly centered
819
00:50:14.984 --> 00:50:16.505
around controlling
820
00:50:16.665 --> 00:50:17.865
the financial
821
00:50:17.865 --> 00:50:18.744
landscape
822
00:50:18.825 --> 00:50:20.424
of the citizenry
823
00:50:20.424 --> 00:50:21.385
of countries
824
00:50:22.130 --> 00:50:26.450
through any means possible and any means necessary,
825
00:50:26.770 --> 00:50:33.970
any means they can find, they can look under rocks and find any means there and then use that, that then they will use it.
826
00:50:35.015 --> 00:50:43.815
And my question is, it sounds like it's an emergency situation. Well, my, not my question. My statement is that it looks to me like it's an emergency situation
827
00:50:44.055 --> 00:50:47.975
that shit behind the scenes is going south like a duck in winter
828
00:50:48.215 --> 00:50:50.135
and they need to lock down
829
00:50:50.500 --> 00:50:51.300
anything,
830
00:50:52.100 --> 00:50:54.980
anything at all to maintain some
831
00:50:55.140 --> 00:50:56.580
fashion of control
832
00:50:57.380 --> 00:50:58.660
and Thailand.
833
00:50:58.660 --> 00:51:07.095
We just got finished with that one. And now the Chinese are just saying, Hey, let's just assume they're money laundering if they even use a crypto mixer.
834
00:51:08.295 --> 00:51:12.215
And then we're on to Japan. We'll stay in Asia.
835
00:51:12.535 --> 00:51:13.575
Why not?
836
00:51:13.815 --> 00:51:15.335
Japan's SBI
837
00:51:15.335 --> 00:51:19.780

838
00:51:19.780 --> 00:51:20.420
yield.
839
00:51:21.140 --> 00:51:25.380
Oh, that's interesting. Okay. Zoltan Vardai coin telegraph,
840
00:51:25.619 --> 00:51:27.780
Tokyo based SBC
841

or no, sorry. SBI

00:51:57.430 --> 00:52:01.750
from Thursday and receive the tokens back with a lending fee at maturity.
855
00:52:02.315 --> 00:52:05.035
The company said in a Monday press release
856
00:52:05.275 --> 00:52:11.035
at the advertised
rate, the gross return over a twelve week term would be about 0.69%
857
00:52:11.035 --> 00:52:12.235
before taxes.
858
00:52:12.555 --> 00:52:17.720
The company said the product pays more than the 0.325%
859
00:52:17.720 --> 00:52:22.440
to 1% annual rate. SBI cited for ordinary yen deposits.
860
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:25.320
Still it is not a bank deposit
861
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:29.800
is not covered by any deposit insurance and generally cannot be canceled early.
862
00:52:30.875 --> 00:52:32.555
JPYSC
863
00:52:32.555 --> 00:52:33.355
lent
864
00:52:33.515 --> 00:52:36.795
to SBI VC trade will also fall outside
865
00:52:36.795 --> 00:52:37.595
statutory
866
00:52:37.595 --> 00:52:39.035
asset segregation
867
00:52:39.035 --> 00:52:39.995
requirements,
868
00:52:40.635 --> 00:52:42.795
meaning that customers could lose
869
00:52:42.954 --> 00:52:43.515
some
870
00:52:43.820 --> 00:52:49.100
or even all of their tokens if that company goes bankrupt according to the release.
871
00:52:49.580 --> 00:52:51.900
The launch gives JPYSC
872
00:52:51.900 --> 00:52:55.740
a new use case just weeks after SBI introduced
873
00:52:56.405 --> 00:52:59.605
the trust structured yen stablecoin June
874
00:52:59.605 --> 00:53:00.485
24
875
00:53:00.565 --> 00:53:02.405
with regulated stablecoins
876
00:53:02.405 --> 00:53:05.765
evolving from payments to yield bearing instruments in Japan.
877
00:53:07.045 --> 00:53:12.405
SBI VC trade previously launched stablecoin lending services in Japan back in March
878
00:53:12.750 --> 00:53:14.030
for circles
879
00:53:14.190 --> 00:53:15.550
dollar denominated
880
00:53:15.550 --> 00:53:16.670
USDC
881
00:53:16.670 --> 00:53:17.790
stablecoin.
882
00:53:18.270 --> 00:53:25.550
SBI claimed this was the first service to allow Japanese customers to lend their yen denominated stablecoin
883
00:53:25.630 --> 00:53:27.550
in exchange for passive yield
884
00:53:27.984 --> 00:53:30.385
by offering yields exceeding
885
00:53:30.704 --> 00:53:33.665
the typical annual rate for yen deposits.
886
00:53:33.665 --> 00:53:35.025
SBI anticipates
887
00:53:35.025 --> 00:53:38.705
an expansion among yen denominated stable coin holders.
888
00:53:39.105 --> 00:53:40.625
Oh, I got a phone call.
889
00:53:41.025 --> 00:53:46.840
And said that the service will be core for realizing the future of on chain finance.
890
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:57.960
I love getting phone calls in the middle of doing the show. I need to turn my phone over. There we go. All right. And then they talk about a partnership with Solana. I'm going to skip that because it's a shit coin.
891
00:53:58.455 --> 00:54:05.175
The stable coin lending service launch follows positive regulatory signals for Japanese web three startups.
892
00:54:05.655 --> 00:54:09.735
The Japanese government plans to strengthen support for crypto and web three startups.
893
00:54:10.180 --> 00:54:13.140
Japanese prime minister Sane Takaiichi
894
00:54:13.140 --> 00:54:16.740
reportedly said
during a video address at the Webex conference.
895
00:54:17.540 --> 00:54:18.580
In May
896
00:54:18.580 --> 00:54:19.380
2025,
897
00:54:19.700 --> 00:54:22.820
she introduced the startup total power package,
898
00:54:22.900 --> 00:54:24.340
which outlined policies
899
00:54:24.465 --> 00:54:28.625
tied to increase governmental funding to accelerate startups.
900
00:54:28.865 --> 00:54:30.945
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So my question is
901
00:54:31.665 --> 00:54:33.585
this SBI VC
902
00:54:34.305 --> 00:54:37.185
is asking, okay, so they come out
903
00:54:37.505 --> 00:54:38.225
with
904
00:54:38.305 --> 00:54:39.505
this stable coin
905
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:49.880
and people have bought the stable coin and now they're saying, Hey, you can lend that very same stable coin back to us and we'll give you a 3%
906
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:50.760
annualized
907
00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:51.560
rate
908
00:54:51.640 --> 00:54:53.240
on a twelve week
909
00:54:53.640 --> 00:54:54.040
loan,
910
00:54:54.775 --> 00:54:58.855
which means that you're the the the people that are holding the stablecoin retail,
911
00:54:59.335 --> 00:55:04.055
they're the ones that are loaning the stablecoin to this company. What are they doing with the stablecoin?
912
00:55:04.215 --> 00:55:06.135
Why do they, why are they paying?
913
00:55:07.210 --> 00:55:09.050
Why are they paying a yield
914
00:55:09.450 --> 00:55:12.730
to the people that are lending them the very stable coin
915
00:55:12.810 --> 00:55:16.090
that they were, had a hand in creating
916
00:55:16.410 --> 00:55:17.130
this
917
00:55:17.850 --> 00:55:19.210
smells bad
918
00:55:19.845 --> 00:55:21.605
no matter if I stand
919
00:55:22.244 --> 00:55:30.645
upwind of it or downwind of it or even a 100 miles away from it. This stinks to high heaven. I'm maybe I'm wrong,
920
00:55:31.365 --> 00:55:34.725
but I've been around the block. This is definitely not my first rodeo.
921
00:55:35.390 --> 00:55:39.070
I've been around the block a few times. This smells bad.
922
00:55:39.950 --> 00:55:42.350
The question is always
923
00:55:43.230 --> 00:55:46.750
what generates the yield? Where does the yield come from?
924
00:55:47.484 --> 00:55:48.525
Now here?
925
00:55:48.765 --> 00:56:02.605
The answer seems, you know, to like somebody who's not looking deeper into this shit. Very clear. Well, you lend it to SBI VC trade and they're the ones that give you the yield. So that's where the yield comes from. Yeah. Where did they get it?
926
00:56:03.609 --> 00:56:05.850
What are they doing with that stable coin
927
00:56:06.170 --> 00:56:11.050
that they're getting loaned and paying other people 3% to get it loaned to?
928
00:56:11.369 --> 00:56:14.810
What are they doing with that stable coin in the background? How are they getting
929
00:56:15.305 --> 00:56:20.265
enough yield to make it worth their while? Because they need to get more than 3%.
930
00:56:21.865 --> 00:56:24.105
They're certainly not going to get less.
931
00:56:24.825 --> 00:56:27.065
What are they doing with the stable coin?
932
00:56:28.720 --> 00:56:31.040
And until that question is answered,
933
00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:36.480
you should look at this as a scam and you should stay as far away from it as humanly possible.
934
00:56:37.520 --> 00:56:46.875
