You've had a dynamic where money has become freer than free.

0:10.0

If you talk about a Fed just gone nuts, all the central banks going nuts.

0:16.0

So it's all acting like safe haven.

0:18.0

I believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their

0:23.5

currency, Bitcoin wins. In the world of fiat currencies, Bitcoin is the victor.

0:29.2

I mean, that's part of the bold case for Bitcoin.

0:31.8

If you're not paying attention, you probably should be.

0:36.3

I got the most blowback I've gotten on Twitter X in years for quote tweeting one of the

You know, we're losing more people a year to fentanyl poisons that we lost during all Vietnam. Well, and that was a thing to piss me off the mess. It's like, we didn't declare war. It's like, well, obviously not explicitly. They need to declare war against these people aren't, these people aren't flying,
