And yeah, man, got one more show for the week. I think it's going to be your Christmas special tomorrow. I have someone filling in for me tomorrow, so I get to take the morning off. But I've been playing pickleball. Have you ever played pickleball? I've, you know, I've not. but it's all the rage ever all the cool kids are playing pickleball so much fun it's like a lazy version of tennis that sounds good that sounds nice I'm gonna be playing I'm gonna be

pickling it out tomorrow that sounded wrong but I'm gonna be playing pickleball hardcore tomorrow and yeah and excited to see you in 10 days and somewhere you're gonna be coming to my side of town. I will be myself and Mrs. Sessions may be in your neck of the woods in about 12 days. I'm excited. It's going to be a good time.

But in the meantime, bro, Bitcoin roller coaster don't stop. So much Bitcoin news. And here's the man, the myth, the legend. Mr. Matt O'Dell talking to Jack Mallors, Jack Ballers, some people call him. First, before I get to that, I think I want to talk about this because this is exciting.

We're going to start off the episode Strong, which is, we all know this as Bitcoiners. We've seen this meme. One, you know, here, there, someone in the chat, tennis for people with bad knees. That's hilarious. No, my knees are shot, bro. Pickle balls intense. Okay, anyways, back to the Bitcoin content. So, look, the reason I want to pull this up is, you know, Bitcoin is, is, is Ben said in the beginning of the show.

is dead. It's over. Pack it up. Bitcoin's going to zero. We dropped from 108 to, I think we hit like 94 or 93. So it's over. Just go back home. You know, call it quits. It's done. We were all wrong about Bitcoin. Yeah, we were all wrong. You know, Ben and I's careers and what we've built, it was all for nothing. And Ben and I have both come to a shared decision. He's going to rename his to Fiat sessions and mine simply Fiat. I'm bullish on eternal servitude. Yeah, it's going to be great. We have Christine Lagarde coming on the show,

Augustine Carson's as guests, it's going to be phenomenal. Anyways, in all seriousness, bad dad jokes out of the way. Let's talk about this. Wall Street Cheat Sheet, the psychology of a market cycle. And I think we are going through a market cycle like every other time in Bitcoin's history. and I think it's important to remember that it's all psychology, right? And what I will say is, you know, I don't think we're anywhere near the euphoria phase.

The euphoria phase is a point, and if you're new to Bitcoin, you haven't experienced it, but you will very soon, is a point where you think you're on cloud nine, you're looking at your portfolio, and you're like, wow, this is the wealthiest I've ever been. You think you're a genius. And then before you know it, one or two months later, you know, Bitcoin starts this like year-long crash of 50, 60, 70, sometimes 80 and 90% in its history. So I think it's important to like kind of internalize this, right? And I don't know.

Where are we in the psychology of the market cycle? We had the disbelief, hope, optimism, belief, thrill, or euphoria stage? I don't know. I don't know. Let us know in the comments. But the reason I wanted to talk about that is, you know, Jack Muller's, which, has some insights into obviously exchange flows that not many people have because, you know, he's the CEO of Strikes. You know, Strikes one of the most popular, you know, Bitcoin on ramps and whatnot.

And, you know, he has insights to this data. And what's really interesting is if you pair, if you connect the dots with one of the other shows that he did, where he went on the Timcast podcast by Tim Poole. And I think he said something that he shouldn't have regarding insider information about what the Trump administration is going to do in regard to the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve on day one via executive order. And again, here's Mahler's sharing some insights about, you know, who's buying all this Bitcoin. And Odell has some really good points as well. So let's check it out. So they're having fun. They're having fun gaping them over weekends.

No, man. This is not... You don't think so? No, this is not odd lot retail traders. Listen, guys, and when people like Peter Schiff says, you know,

Bitcoin's a Ponzi, sailors just buying and pushing it to new highs and everyone's agreed not to sell. No. So then why are they buying on weekends? It's, no,

there's just persistent bid under this thing. Someone has mandated in order... So they're buying it all week, but the float is less on weekends in Halloween. because other traditional markets are closed. So the price tends to run up more during the weekends, even though it's just a consistent bit.

Yeah, well, and just look at the numbers. When people say, sailors the only buyer, no, this thing's doing $60 to $100 billion of 24-hour volume. Sailor's $1 billion of that. Come on, give me a break. And this does not look like if you want to move a $2 trillion asset, I know we're not gold yet. but we're as big as

but we're as big as Amazon Google you know do you think odd lot retail would move those things on the weekend? No. You got to have muscle to move this thing and especially on a Sunday night like that and it's not just

it's not just a one-off because I would agree with you Matt if it was like you know one leverage liquidation on an exchange that pushed it on a Sunday night but weekend activity has been fairly consistent if you guys Remember, like, the first thrust two and over 100K were also on U.S. nighttime. It's either U.S. nighttime or weekends.

That is U.S. banking hours closed. That is someone who's probably wired a ton of money to an order execution, and that's being averaged in, and sometimes liquidity gets dry. I don't know. It looks to me very unique. in any way. Let's use this most recent weekend as an example, right? Because to me, this is fascinating, right?

That historically global markets closed. They're almost, they're closed as more than they're open. It feels like they're closed more than they're open. They're closed all night. Their trading hours are very tight. And then they're closed on weekends, right? And part of like the whole process and traditions and whatnot of traditional global markets is, for example, the NASDAQ 100, like QQ and whatnot, like announced micro strategy, close a business day and Friday. Presumably they do that traditionally speaking so that it has the least market effect possible.

So they announced that. And then markets are closed for 48 hours. right almost nearly like more than that right it's like 50 hours or something um and and and we we go up like seven thousand dollars we go up almost 10 percent we go up like seven eight percent uh by the time market's open again we've never seen anything like that how about the election when trump won uh bitcoin just starts just starts running right like bitcoin called the election before cnn and but bitcoin was the only thing you could trade like you couldn't buy apple stock Like if you were bullish on Apple stock, you were bullish on like equities because of Trump winning, you just couldn't buy it.

Like you could only buy Bitcoin. So to me, it's fascinating seeing Bitcoin become this macro asset. And it's the only thing that's actually 24-7, 365, liquid saleable. Okay. So so much things to unpack there. But the two things that I wanted to talk about, hold on. Let me have this playing in the background while Ben and I talk. So the two things that I want to talk about, Ben, two things that really.

caught my attention. I want to get your thoughts. So first thing is, who is this mysterious figure that's buying the rest of that Bitcoin? Who is that? So Saylor is buying the $1 billion. Who's buying the rest? We don't know. And number two, I love what Odell said in the end, where, you know, Bitcoin is the only thing that is trading 24-7. They can't manipulate it. They can't stop it. It doesn't have the circuit breakers that, you know, the stock market has. And it just keeps going. And I find that so, so fascinating, empowering. And then if you connect that with what Jeff Booth thinks, and I love his takes where he basically is making the argument that Bitcoin is the only thing that properly reflects, you know, that markets around the world. And it does that not only by, if you're saving

in Bitcoin, you're actually experiencing what the world should be experiencing, which is the world should be naturally deflationary because of the increases in productivity. Oh, hey there, man. You've got a visitor. Continue. The increases in productivity. And of course, the increases in in, in, I'm, hey, man, how you doing, little man? Anyways, Ben, what are your thoughts on this, bro?

Yeah, I mean, I've always been fascinated listening to, he's like, I want to be part of the show now. This is what happens when, when mummy leaves and does other things while I'm doing a show. So here we go. That's all right. It's bullish because it's another little Bitcoin. Yes, yes, I see that. He's falling in your footsteps. He is.

He wants to be a star. But I've always been fascinated when Bitcoin runs at certain times, especially over a set period of time, because it indicates where some of these people, I remember in the like the 2017 run, there was a lot of like evening, like when China was waking up, there would be, you know, these runs. And so it's very interesting watching, yeah, weekends, big moves on weekends and big moves in the evenings. But my favorite part about that is if you're relying on ETS for your Bitcoin exposure and you want to smash by, you can't smash by when it's running on an evening or a weekend, which to me is like, you get the real thing, guys. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's, yeah. I mean, and then not only that, right, the if Bitcoin dumps over the weekend, like you can't get out of that ETF or you can't buy more to that ETF. You can only do. with the spot, right? So I think that's absolutely true. Anyways, moving on, I think there is really fascinating to me talking about the shift of the Overton window. There's a politician coming out of France, and she had some things to say at the European Parliament. And yeah,

I mean, this crazy is coming out of Europe. So I'll play the clip, and then we'll talk about it. Three years ago, across the Atlantic, the president of El Salvador decided to invest in Bitcoin's for his country. At the time, he was ridiculed by the political class and the IMF. He now shows a 100% return, with hundreds of millions of dollars available for his people, for security and for the sovereignty of his country. The whole world is now getting ready to take advantage of this revolution in decentralized finance. Donald Trump is going to create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin for the United States.

Jerome Powell, the chairman of the US Federal Reserve, is now talking about digital gold. Bitcoin is skyrocketing. And what about the European Union? What is the European Union doing? It's squandering our money on unbelievable waste. It continues to accumulate tragically inflationary deficits. It insists on regulating, taxing and holding back. It's time to change the paradigm. It's time to protect our people from inflation and the poor economic choices of our states. It's time to say no to the totalitarian temptations

of the European Central Bank, which wants to impose a fully controlled digital euro. We don't want this dystopian world where a European bureaucrat could tomorrow ban us from certain transactions and even kick us out of the banking system with a click just for something we said on social media or for an opinion that doesn't sit well.

It's time to bet on freedom. It's time for our states to invest in Bitcoin to build national strategic reserves. It's time to develop the mining industry. We, the French, hold the cards with our nuclear advantage. Let's stock taxing cryptocurrency holders more and more. It's their intelligence, their risks, their sleepless nights that have built their savings.

Let's allow them to protect themselves, from the crazy spiral you've created. Public deficit that drives money creation, which creates inflation, leading to chaos. Let's dare to be free. Let's stop being afraid of our own shadow. Let's stay true to the ambition of our civilization. Thank you.

So good use of AI for the translation, right? And, you know, yeah, I mean, talk about the shift in the Yoverton, window, man, especially out of Europe. Europe has been one of the toughest from a regulatory perspective for a long time now. So, you know, it's, it's interesting, man. It's interesting what this election has done in the United States, all these dominoes falling worldwide, whether it's Russia, Brazil, China, you know, on the state level here in the U.S. You know, this is, this is crazy. This is crazy.

I love this so much. And I see in the comments that, like, why is your voice sound weird? It It is an AI translation from French to English. I've used this to do, again, translations of me to other languages. So, you know, that's why it sounds like a little bit odd. It will sink your lips to a degree, but it'll look a little funky. But it is not fake. She, her own Twitter account has reposted this video with the translation and everything. So, but so what I love about this is just,

just the vernacular that she's using. It's like referring to the European Central Bank as totalitarian, referring to the exorbitant waste that the state is extracting wealth and just blowing the money on things that are just completely useless and taking back control. And wow, like to see this in European Parliament. And she makes a good point as well, where France, does have an advantage with nuclear. Right now, France is getting hosed on their nuclear. I think

they have enough capacity for like, I think 70%. It's like the high double digit percentages to power like their entire grid. But they get this stupid deal where they have to export a certain amount of that energy and then they have to bring in less energy from elsewhere in less efficient means so they just get like hosed on their own efficient grid but if they were to hone in on that and say like listen we've got these nuclear power plants we've got excess why don't we just mine with the excess like then then they know what's up like then they're going to be like what's the Bhutan like using efficient energy sources to mine and stockpile Bitcoin like they're in a very unique position in terms of energy and she seems to have honed in on that so yeah I like I like

love to see it. I think it's super cool. Yeah, that's that's what I got there. Absolutely. It's in, I love, uh, you can do so much, right? Ben, like that I think that's the point that that, that you, that you said, right? There, it adds a different element to what you can do with your energy grid, right? It adds like another another, another, another, another element, another option. I'll leave it at that. Um, All right, everybody. So moving on. We got this clip from BTC therapist. Great, like, Twitter account from the Bitcoin community.

Huge fan of his. And here is Michael Saylor saying the choir part out loud. I mean, it's not, it's so obvious, I mean, I would say. And also I got to say, too, about Saylor. Sailor's gone through this transformation, right? So, you know, initially you would always see him with a black shirt. shirt and a black suit and like he was always dressed well. And now that he's vindicated, you know, not only is he wearing Bitcoin merch, but he also has a Bitcoin P in the back,

which I think is hilarious. Let's check out the clip. And the first nation to print money, the first nation to print their own currency to buy Bitcoin wins. Tom, look what micro strategy did. We basically issue our own currency, our stock, and we buy Bitcoin. What happens? happen we went a billion dollar market cap is what happened is it inflation it's only inflation if you print the currency to invest to make a bad investment right if if you if you if you print the currency to buy something that's a creation appreciating faster than your inflation rate it's actually accretion and the first nation the print money the first it's looping but uh you get the point Right. You get the point that he's saying, right? And I think it's absolutely true. You know, like his company is like basically, whether he's aware of it or not, is like doing this speculative attack on the dollar, using the dollar, using the system itself to, you know, take advantage of the debt-based system to issue more debt, to buy more Bitcoin, raises the price of his stock, then he just rinses and repeats it and rinses and repeats it.

You know, could you imagine the scale? Because what Sailor is doing what the Fed would do, the Fed would put what Sailor is doing to shame. Going in there, turning on the money printer, and all of this, like, printed money just flowing into Bitcoin. Like, that would be absolutely freaking bonkers and insane. So, oh, my God. I was about, I was going to say, Opti. Ben, please.

It's going to be really, stop. It can be really confusing when we, we have a show together. Oh, God. Opti, Nathan. No, no. That's hilarious. That quote, if you can scroll up a little bit, like the quote that therapist did,

the first nation to print their own currency to buy Bitcoin wins. that there's there's so much packed into that little statement because again like this this is the exorbitant privilege of those that control the the money printer they basically have a moment uh where they get to realize like hey we we fucked up um our our currency we took it too far um as inevitably would happen, but we have an opportunity to basically bail ourselves out and obtain some hard assets in like just an extinction level amount of printing. So there's that, but there's also the aspect of, okay, so we have a bit of a sell-off right now, right? We're below 100K. People that are selling their Bitcoin to cash in are selling their Bitcoin for exactly what

he's saying there. At one point, a nation state and probably at one point, the U.S. will be, at least in part, printing money to purchase Bitcoin. And you have just sold that Bitcoin to buy some of the money that can be printed and that will be printed to obtain the very asset you just rid yourself of. And that people will look back on that. and say, why? Why did I get rid of this finite, like, soundest money the world has ever seen? Why would I have dumped that for a hundred thousand of these useless denominations? And they're just printing them an inexhaustible supply of printed dollars to purchase a very, very finite amount of Bitcoin. It's going to be people will look back at this moment and be like, oh, my God, what on earth was I thinking?

Yeah, it was so short-sighted. It was so short-sighted that they do that. Like, I mean, Germany, wow, wow, you know, and any country that just sells their Bitcoin. And, you know, it's so like, it's, yeah, it's dumb, it's dumb. I'm putting it very nicely. Ben's Canadianness is rubbing off on me. I love that in the chat. How much Bitcoin can you really buy with the Vietnamese dong?

Probably not much. It is indeed called the dong. When I backpacked through Vietnam, it was funny having a pocket full of dongs. You know, this is the touch-the-tip show, bro. So, you know, dongs, tips. Many. I held many dongs in my hand. There's a clip of Max and Stacy like bumping dicks.

Oh, man. Remember that? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think I got to pull. I got to figuratively pull that one out again. That clip from last Christmas show was something else. That was interesting.

All right. So moving on. Big news, again, kind of a continuation of the trend. I'm going to connect this with all the other pieces. So Texas House introduces bill to establish a Bitcoin Reserve. Pennsylvania Lawmaker introduces bill for strategic Bitcoin Reserve. And the latest breaking news is actually dropped yesterday. Ohio Lawmaker introduces Bitcoin Reserve Bill allowing state to buy BTC.

That's three states right now out of the 50 that have introduced bills to make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset. And also what I was mentioning in the beginning of the show, Jack Muller's one on the Tim Cass and Tim Pool podcast. And it seemed like he said something that was like NDA. He shouldn't have said. But essentially TLDR, he was basically saying like, look, Trump on day one is going to sign an executive order making Bitcoin a strategic reserve.

And I mean, that would make the price go like bananas, right? So yeah, I mean, this is this is this is, this is, this is interesting. So, but Ben, do you have any comments on this? I mean, the crazy thing is, you have all these bills to make strategic reserves. We also have Vancouver, Canada, the city. Oh, that's right. They're starting to look. But the main takeaway is there's so many places that are saying, like, look at what micro strategy did. We should probably look at this. And not all of them are going to end up happening, at least initially. But even if some of them start happening,

that's going to be more examples of the proof is in the pudding. You're going to jump forward a cycle, look at how they have just completely obliterated everyone else who decided to hold off and how far ahead they're going to be at that point that it becomes a no-brainer inside of another cycle. So like, it's going to be wild. It's going to be wild.

Yeah, 100%. 100%. It's going to be wild. And, you know, that's right. I forgot about Vancouver, man. Like, this is a worldwide phenomenon where this is happening. And, you know, it's quite interesting, right? Hopefully it comes to a little nugget here.

Sure. Go for it. I just got off the phone with the mayor of Vancouver earlier today. Oh, look at flexing. He's going to come on the show at some point. Yeah, so. Did I not tell you that you were going to get a president or senator or something, starting with the mayor?

That's good stuff. I got to work my way up the stack. We got to, you know, we'll get a, we'll get a, if I could, if I could stack a mayor, a premier of a province and a potentially incoming prime minister of Canada, that could be great. So Daniel Smith of Alberta and Pierre Polly have hit me up. Let's do a show altogether. Hell yeah. I think I might, breaking, by the way, I think I might get a senator in January.

Nice. So, yeah, man, that's quite interesting, huh? All this stuff happening. All right, all right. Ben and I are, we're getting entrenched. We're becoming the people we're fighting against. Okay. Anyways, so moving on.

I think this is like the most notable news of the week, in my honest opinion, which is, okay. No BS Bitcoin, like they don't get, they're not, they're not funded by sponsors. They're a Bitcoin publication. So, and this, then I, and I rely on them a lot to do a lot of the news aggregation that I do. And, like, you know, when they, when they put this as a, as a headline, I don't, like, they're not effing around, right? So the headline for the audio listeners is El Salvador to scale back Bitcoin policies for $1.5 billion IMF loan deal. Now there's nuances.

There's details. But that statement is true. And I'll read you some of the kind of quotes and details of the article. Now, it's not like, oh, my God, they're backing down from legal tender or any of this, you know, very important things. But I mean, yeah, for a couple of reasons. the IMF still holds a lot of influence, right? Observation number two, why does the IMF care so much about Bitcoin policies?

Right. I think that should tell you everything you need to know. So kind of scrolling down, quote, the Salvadorian authorities and a staff team from the IMF have reached staff level agreement on a 40-month extended agreement under the extended fund facility for about $1.4 billion to address balance of payment needs and support the government's economic reforms. The second one, the IMF's executive board needs to endorse the agreement in early February of 2025, and its financialization depends on completing the previously agreed upon actions.

Number three, the potential risks of the Bitcoin project will be diminished significantly in line with fund policies. Legal reforms will make acceptance of Bitcoin by the private sector, voluntary for the public sector engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities and transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin will be confined. Like, that's a strong statement. What do you mean confined? What does that mean, right? The program is expected to stimulate additional financial support from the World Bank,

the Inter-American Development Bank, and other regional development banks, including the Central American Bank for Economic Integration and the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean. Together, these institutions are projected to provide a combined financing package exceeding $3.5 billion over the duration of the program. It continues to say, taxes will only be paid in U.S. dollars, and the government's participation in the crypto ewall at Chivo will be gradually unwound. That's right. Part of the deal was for essentially Chivo being sold to a private entity or just shut down altogether. That's nuts. That's nuts. transparency regulation and supervision of digital assets will be enhanced to safeguard financial stability, consumer and investor protection, and financial integrity.

Here's Max Kaiser responding to it. Max Kaiser and Stacey Herbert are obviously part of the Bitcoin office of El Salvador. And they've really been kind of on the forefront of a lot of the efforts coming out of El Salvador. So this is Max Kaiser's response to this news. Starts with Bitcoin use in El Salvador was always voluntary. and its usage has never been higher and continues to grow. The IMF's point is DOA. Chivo is one of dozens of wallets used in El Salvador.

Its presence or non-presence is meaningless. Again, DOA. Pay taxes in USD? Yes, whatever, dude. Saving rates in Bitcoin and using Bitcoin as collateral to buy property is exploding in El Salvador. El Salvador's success is due to Bitcoin, not the failed policies of the IMF. Salvadorians will never go back to IMF.

sponsored MS-13 Colonial United Fruit Company, President-Assinating Banana Massacre BS, not on my watch, bring it. His wife, Stacey Herbert, went on to explain it more and more details about the intricacies of the deal. Bitcoin remains legal tender. That's not something that this article mentioned, which I find interesting. It goes on to say El Salvador will continue buying Bitcoin. Again, that was not mentioned, right?

Which I find interesting. And of course, you know, they continue to stack one Bitcoin a day. They have their address public. Anyone could verify that they're doing this. And they've been doing this since 16K Bitcoin. Naimukkale absolute Chad there. Point number three, Bitcoin capital markets will continue to be built. Point number four, the Bitcoin Office will continue built.

building Bitcoin policy and roadmaps, attracting investors and building education programs, including the new grades two and three little hoddler Bitcoin and money workbooks for January 2025. Point number five, Kubo Plus continues educating elite Bitcoin and lightning devs talent in El Salvador. Point number six, meet Primeridcoin and Node Nation continue being taught in high schools across El Salvador. Point number seven, I think. ESIAP continues with its Bitcoin certification program of 80,000 civil servants.

And point number eight, Chivo wallet will be sold or unwound, but the many private sector Bitcoin wallets will continue serving El Salvador. And this is just the beginning. So, yeah, I mean, you know, I'll end it with that. And then I'll just open it to conversations with Ben. Ben, like, you know, shout out to Stacey for, you know, filling in the gaps. And I think it's important to note that El Salvador, it's Bitcoin's still legal tender in El Salvador, number one.

Number two, they're going to continue buying Bitcoin. So it seems like there were some negotiations with the IMF. It seems like El Salvador did not completely give in to all of the IMF's demands. And because those two things remain the most important, in my humble opinion, which is Bitcoin remaining legal tender, which creates a beachhead for us, Also, I think it's a good thing that it's voluntary, right? We don't need some special help from the government, right? Bitcoin doesn't need that.

And number two, the fact that they continue buying Bitcoin is going to set an example for the rest of the world. So those two things had to remain in law and they did. So it seems like there was some backroom negotiations, but as strongly word as strongly worded as that IMF statement was that I read in the beginning about like, is going to be contained and we're going to make this go away like the boogeyman um i think the fact that they couldn't get rid of those two things um you know makes their efforts mute and then el salvador just you know basically says all right i'll take your money and here's one last thing this is speculation territory but i'm going to say it anyways what if naibo kele just turns around and uses that money to buy bitcoin that would be i would i would love for him to accumulate a bunch of dollars from the

IMF and the World Bank and then just be like, fuck you guys. Just like flicking people off like a half bill worth. Now, I don't think that he's going to, I mean, who knows? Maybe he might do something like that. So, yeah, a few things. Chivo wallet always sucked. Anybody who knew anything about Bitcoin in El Salvador was not using it. Wait, can I ask you something before you continue?

Did you ever do a tutorial on Chivo? No, no. Okay, sorry, sorry. Yeah. No, I got it when I was, or I tried it when I was down there and I saw people using it. And I was like, it just, it wasn't well designed. Like, it doesn't default to lightning. And people are doing small transactions there.

So like somebody would hit receive and I'd go to scan it and it would be like a regular on chain address. And I was like, well, and I'm buying like an 80 cent like juice box or something. And I'm like, I. And the people there that are doing it for the first time or like are brand new, they have no idea. They don't know they're going to get this tiny UTXO that they'll never be able to move again. And so it just wasn't that great. And even the lightning transactions within Chivo were slow to receive and like actually notice. So like Blink is doing really good job down there.

There's lots of other options down there for people. A lot of people are using Blink in El Salvador and a few others. Now, in terms of some of the other things, I mean, the optionality, it's, it max is right. It's always been optional. Like, I mean, not maybe in writing, but in practice, it was optional because, yeah, you go to Bitcoin Beach. You can pay for Bitcoin for anything anywhere other than like maybe one or two, like a few little places. You go to San Salvador. It's a bit of a hodgepodge.

You can absolutely live on Bitcoin in San Salvador, but you would need to know like, oh, when I'm shopping for this, I'm going to go here because they accept Bitcoin. And there's going to be a lot of shops that just haven't adopted it. And then you go to other parts of the country and it's going to be pretty sparse if you can find somebody because you can't snap your fingers and have an entire country of what, six or seven million people suddenly all be on Bitcoin. even like over the course of a number of years that's a hard thing to do and it's just again like it's I'm of the mind that it should be a voluntary thing um that said the the stuff like the same thing that you were like what does constrained mean like I don't know specifics of what that looks like or if they just used that language to outline what what was said here or if there's more other other things in it. I just in general, especially after reading Alex Gladstein's hidden repression, the amount

of disdain that I have for the IMF and the World Bank is just insurmountable. And any dealings with them, I'm like, fuck those guys. Like, just don't, don't, like, the more you can separate yourself from those entities and get out from under their boot, the better off you are. And I just feel like it's dangerous, like, having these deals with the devil. And it's like better to just, it's better to build slower, but in a sustainable way, than to obtain these, again, like deals with the devil that you're going to have to pay back in some way later. And you may be able to pull a sailor on a state level and do that. But if you can't or if the markets turn out of your favor,

than you know, you're under their boot yet again. So yeah, I hope it turns out fine. I would love nothing more than Buckelly to get that check cut and then like just go shopping for sats the moment it lands. That would be absolutely poetic. And it was like his final fuck you to the IMF. It would be just chef's kiss. I don't think that's going to happen. but like, hey, we can cross our fingers and help.

Healthy amount of skepticism for any dealings with the IMF, but it also doesn't sound to me like, you know, Bitcoin is done in El Salvador. It's just they were looking for some type of a win so that they could trump it out a few headlines that are a little sensational. It's what is something. 100%.

Like, it's like this like this victory, like this fake victory and whatnot. And what I'll say, too, is like, you know, they posture as if they're this, like this so powerful institution. It's the IMF and this and that. And here they are clearly showing that they're scared of the Bitcoin experiment in El Salvador. Guys, just to give you guys a perspective, okay. El Salvador's GDP is $32 billion.

Elon must net worth is $250 billion, right? just to kind of give you an idea of the size of the economy of El Salvador. And you have the IMF like essentially freaking out about this Bitcoin experiment. And I think that should tell you everything you need to know about our movement and about the fact that we're winning. And I think they're scared. So. But anyways, dude, great time like always. I'll see you tomorrow.

Super, super excited for the Christmas special. And see you guys later. Peace out, Ben. Hell yeah. Later, man. I'll see you tomorrow. And everybody else, please do. Stick around. We're going to be given away some sats in just a moment. So don't go anywhere.

And we're going to be hitting up the tech updates. What's the latest and greatest? What's been going on? What should you be checking out? So we'll cover all that when we're back in just a moment. But until then, we're just going to give a quick shout out to sponsors of this show. And then we'll be right back in. So we'll see you guys in just a moment.

To download Speed, simply scan the QR code on the screen, click the links in the show notes down below, use code BTC Sessions 10 to get 5,000 sats for free. DeBify.com allows you to borrow against your Bitcoin in a non-custodial way. Collateral is held in a three of four distributed multi-sig with trusted parties.

It provides institutional liquidity providers, loan periods of up to five years with flexible conditions and the best rates. Best of all, no rehypification of your funds. If you want to check them out today, head over to debify.com or hit the link in the show notes. down below. All right, we are back in. Let's give away some stats here. So let me just grab my screen. We've got, there we go. We got Bitcoin Well up on the screen here. Great place. In fact, the best place to be stacking stats in Canada and the U.S. And the cool thing about Bitcoin well is that when you do sign up, you earn points. When you purchase Bitcoin, you earn points. When you refer friends, you earn points. And those points can be used.

to toss a coin into the Bitcoin wishing well. And every time you do so, you win the chance to win up to anywhere between 500 and a million sats. So that's exactly what we're going to do here. So get your lightning wallets ready. First person to scan this QR code with their lightning wallet will win whatever the prize is. So we'll toss that in the well. And if you do win, let us know. 2,100 sats.

Congrats to whoever snags that first. So give it a scan. It should give you the option to redeem it in your lightning wallet. And if it doesn't work, then somebody has already snagged it. If you do win, let us know in the comments. Always load to hear from the people that end up sniping the sats first. And now that is not the only way, of course, that you can be stacking sats. I will put Bitcoin Well's little QR code up on the screen off to the right hand side as well.

If you want to sign up there, if you're not already on, check them out. And you can get stacking stats with them today. But that's not the only way to be stacking stats, this bull run. Of course, I'm over at Bitcoin Mentor. And this is my excellent team of educators. And they can do one-on-ones with yourself or friends and family to help people through self-custody, wallets, hardware, multi-sig, running a node, whatever it may be. our team can help you through it with one-on-one video calls.

Now, of course, you may be wondering, how do I earn Bitcoin through that? Well, that would be if you want to become an affiliate. So the QR code on the screen right now, if you give that a scan, it will allow you to create your own personalized link. And through that program, I would recommend just stick it in your social media profile,

share it on socials, whatever you may do, but somewhere that people can find it very easily. And then you can just sit back and passively earn SATs. The way it works is every time somebody goes through your link and books a one-on-one session with us, you earn $21 to be paid out at the end of the month in Bitcoin. And that's not just for their first session. It's for every single session that they book with us from then on in, in perpetuity moving forward. So if they book 10 sessions, there's 210 bucks in Bitcoin sent to you.

So scan that QR code, sign up today. earn you can stack sats well new bitcoinsers stack skills uh but enough my rambling here let's get into some of the updates i won't call them all tech updates because i wanted to give a shout out to the human rights foundation uh they've just granted seven bitcoin to 20 different bitcoin projects i've got to say the hrf's bitcoin development fund is just such a godsend to so many bitcoin developers that are building excellent tools um they are just slinging Sats everywhere to make sure the tools that human rights defenders need are getting built, and then the developers can fund their operations.

So what was funded here, Stratum v2, reference implementation, public pool, Naoma, this is a Bitcoin Core developer, Daniel Brzoony. He's a software developer previously contributed to Bitcoin Development Kit. Michael Hasse, I think is how you say it, working on redesign Bitcoin's cores, UX, and UI. No bullshit Bitcoin, the very thing where I'm reading this right now, got a grant. That's super awesome. Tando, co-founded by Sabina Gitao, enables 54 million Kenyans to use Bitcoin for everyday transactions. Yaki Hone, this is an Noster Protocol client by Wendy Ding.

seed signer, multi-language support, Vexel, which is like a peer-to-peer marketplace for Bitcoin in various locations around the globe. Toma Tech and Indian Community Advancing Bitcoin Infrastructure and Foss projects. Crux, an open-source software that transforms generic devices into hardware wallets, Iris, which is a Noster web client, African U.X Bitcoin Boot Camp, Bitcoin History Research Project by Pete Rezo, Pete Rizzo, rather, Casu TS, developed by Gandalf 21, Unify, which is a pay join wallet,

the Financial Freedom Policy Coalition, John Attack, who's a Bitcoin core contributor, and Brink from Mike Schmidt, which is super awesome. So, congrats to all of the grant recipients and hats off to the HRF for their continued work in that realm. moving on albi hub version 1.12.0 improved relay connectivity and more so the new features here you can pay zero amount invoices you can migrate to vs s you can you know fire channel open enclosure events in l and d you improve the albi account connection card and you have they've added environment variable to customize ldk listening addresses and on top of that there's a bunch of bug fixes and miscellaneous so Always good to see. Albi Hub, if you're unsure, this is just like if you're self-hosting your own lightning node, it just makes everything so smooth, easy to connect. You get your own lightning address, all of that, but you can host it on your own infrastructure or you can do it in the cloud. Super awesome. Love Albi Hub. Moving on. Foundation announced this passport prime personal security platform. Okay, so there was this announcement the other day. I'm going to kind of just go through a few of the things that I thought were good, a few of the things.

that give me some pause and i'm going to try and be pretty diplomatic about it um but i i saw the chat going as as there is an announcement and there was some uh you know concerns from people about like direction but um okay let's chat uh so fully open source um the device is again bitcoin It obviously has support for a lot of different Bitcoin wallets and interfaces. They have their own dedicated app as well. It's the third generation device. It will run something called KeyOS and feature a third-party app store. It includes apps such as two-factor authenticator,

a security keep app for multifactor authentication. Seed Vault for organizing seed phrases. Additionally, it targets. encrypted flash drives with 50 gigabytes of memory for storing sensitive files, secured by a feature airlock. Okay, some of the other things that they mentioned, and there's a lot here. You can watch the full keynote, but let's just look at some of the key features. Again, KOS, mobile-centric experience, NFC for easy and quick backups,

third-party apps and developer ecosystem, simplified onboarding, premium design, and it's 300 bucks. Okay. So the things that I think are good. NFC, awesome. Glad to see NFC added in. That is a very convenient feature. I really, really quite like that.

The device itself looks nice, robust. You know, the previous devices have been, you know, they've been. they've got some weight to them in the hand. They feel like they're pretty good. I was actually the passport two versus the passport one. I actually kind of preferred the feel of the buttons on the passport one. But obviously with this one, they've just gone touchscreen, which is all good.

Now, KOS, I don't have like an opinion on it either way. the two-factor authentication and secure notes, I would say that I don't necessarily, I don't know that I would necessarily use it for that, but maybe, but I don't also have any opposition to anything like that. Now, when it comes to the open source app store where foundation can't prevent people from creating apps

and putting them in the store and all that kind of stuff. This I have some questions on. So now they addressed in the presentation. They said that the Bitcoin and the key related stuff is completely segregated from anything. And the apps, I think, are segregated from interacting with each other. So, like, you wouldn't, my understanding is you wouldn't be able to download an app. And then that app just, like, infects your device and, like, pulls,

information. Okay, fair enough. They also said, though, that anybody can create an app. My main worry with the App Store, and the question would be how much curation is happening here? The presentation sounded like we can't prevent people from making apps, which, like, in ethos, I understand why that would be an ethos to go with, but at the same time, I have a little bit of worry in an around that. I will have to see how it plays out. But my main worry is, let's say, you get a new person coming in. They get a device and they're perusing through the app store and they see something that's like, I don't know, like your vault solidifier or something like something that sounds like, oh, it's going to make it more robust. And even if that app is segregated and not

able to interact with other apps, there's a possibility that the app could be a malicious like fishing type app that gives you instructions to execute that says you're doing one thing, but in practice is actually you giving up some type of credential or sending a transaction somewhere you don't mean to. Like a newcomer can be fooled by that if they have an official looking app that they upload to a device that they feel is their like source of security. So that's where my reservations primarily lie. I saw that Bluetooth was added.

I'm not as much a fan of Bluetooth. Again, you've got like a, I know that's encrypted communication back and forth, but, you know, that's Bluetooth isn't necessarily for me. And yeah, and then the other thing, and again, this is, again, because there's third-party apps and anybody can make anything, that also means that you can have support for non-Bitcoin assets. Now, I know that some of the former members of the team were very, very privacy-focused,

and that's all good. And I also understand why somebody who's super, super privacy-focused would lean towards something like Manero. I understand, but I also think that Monero makes major tradeoffs, which is why I don't personally look at Monaro, really. But even in understanding all of that, there's also explicit talk of Ethereum and Solana support. I think, again, through third-party stuff there.

But like, as, again, when it's been marketed explicitly towards. Bitcoin only for the two previous models. And then this seems like a pivot as we go into a bull run and there's money to be made like in and around supporting other things. Yeah, I don't know. I'll leave it there. I'm trying to be as diplomatic as I can. So those are my general thoughts.

You guys let me know in your in the chat there. But yeah, I am, I don't know that this device is being marketed to me necessarily. Anyways, so I'll leave it there. Let's continue on. I will say, DeBify just added support for the Cold Card Q, which is awesome. Glad to see. So they're doing NFC. Have you seen my DeBify video before?

I was using the cold card mark four, but pretty awesome to see that. So glad to, and that was just, what, two days ago? So awesome, awesome. Again, more people support in the queue. Good to see. I also just dropped a tutorial on Keeper. And I've done a previous video on Keeper just using it in a self-sovereign way, loading in keys, creating multi-sig volts, all of that kind of stuff.

This one is centered in and around their inheritance. key system, and they're using miniscript, which gives you greater granularity in the realm of multi-six. So things like deprecating keys or adding keys after certain thresholds. And so kind of cool what's happening there in that. So in the instance that I outlined here, you can have an inheritance key that is not currently active that will become capable of signing transactions at a certain threshold down the line, like a year, a year and a half, two years, whatever.

And so you besow that upon the recipient of the inheritance and then have a way to get them a second key when the time through an executor or whatever. And so what ends up happening is with the key at the time, they can't really do anything. But then when the threshold passes, if you haven't bumped it forward, then they have access to the funds.

So anyways, take a peek. I think it's kind of cool. And, yeah, you can walk through and kind of learn how to use that within Key, In this example, I used all tap signers. That's currently the easiest way to do it with Mnisccript, but there will be support for Cold Guard Q and whatever other hardware devices decide to add Mnisccript functionality. This is just a completely personal one that I thought I would share, but I enjoyed it.

Elf on a shelf is currently at our house, and he visited my kids last night. and he brought along a few things. And this is the letter that Elf left my daughter, Dear Aria. Last night, your friend Yellow taught me how to use Bitcoin. Grab your iPad, open your wallet, and scan the code. I put 5,000 sats on it for you. P.S. when your brother's older, you can teach him how to use Bitcoin too. Lots of love.

Sprinkle. That's the name of her elf. And so there you can see our elf sprinkle beside a copy. the Bitcoin standard beside a couple of Lena's little hodlers and of course yellow holding a tab signer, the elf holding a cold card and all of the goodies that he left some stickers, some Genesis packs from BTC trading cards. What a generous little fellow that guy is. Glad that he could swing by and there's me in the morning helping my daughter figure out how to redeem speed wallet, by the way, thanks for the, you know, they allow easy ways of creating redeemable QR codes.

And I can see that's from speed. So Sprinkle was doing some learning last night with Yellow. And my daughter was very happy to get her 5,000 sats. And in the realm of other personal things that have been gone, we had our sat market here in Calgary just this past weekend. And it was awesome. So awesome. If you're unfamiliar, again, we put. together a local circular market with all the bit corners here. And we had a record number of vendors

this time. We had 40 vendors. We rented out a venue. We had all kinds of different stuff there. And it was fantastic. We also did a little an excursion out to the Canadian Rockies, which is only an hour away, went for some hikes, had some brunch, had a dinner, all that stuff. It was a lot of fun. Really, really enjoyed it. And yeah, I'll show some of the pictures here. But we just had It was family friendly. There were kids all over running around. Lots of different types of merchants. We did incredible giveaways.

Listen to some of the stuff we gave away. Custom art pieces, apparel, artisan tea, hypnosis sessions, a free hour with Bitcoin mentor, jewelry pieces. We gave away 20 tap signers, 30 packs of Bitcoin trading cards, the Genesis packs, 14 cold card cues and a 10 ounce bar of silver. We gave away over $6,000 worth of stuff. the raffles that we did at the end of the market. It was wild. And again, we had so many great merchants there. And just if you can see from the pictures here, it was just an all-around great

time. So many awesome people coming together. I am so bullish on the community that we have here. And if you haven't already, for the next one, come up to Calgary. You got to get here. You got to see what's going on. It's so awesome. I love this. so much. So our next sat market is happening near the end of June. So a little bit of a different setting. It won't be so cold then, although the winter in the mountains is beautiful. But come out and come check out the sat market. We'll be dropping more info soon. If you do want to come visit us, then I encourage you to head over to, and I'll get the QR code up on the screen here. This is our website for the sat market. It's Bitcoin Sat Market.

but there's a QR code you can scan. Just go come up and visit. We'd love to see it, but bookmark that and follow us on socials. It's at the bottom of the website page. Anyways, excited for that. It's, it was awesome. And finally, oh my lord, look at what is coming tomorrow. The day is almost upon us for the fourth annual BTC sessions.

T.C. Sessions, Christmas, Hoddle Day special of 2024. The guest list is absolutely insane. Just picking out some people on the poster here that you can see. But we've got Jeff Booth, Larry Lepard, Mike Germano, Alex Gladstein. We've got Preston Pish, Don Bay, Tatum, Turnup, Katie, the Russian. We've got Nico, of course. We've got Madex. We've got Parker Lewis. Peter St. Ong. Who's back here? Who am I missing? Matt Cratters back there, Harry Suttock, American Hoddle. This is just, it's stacked. It is stacked. The way it works, there's 30-minute segments with panels of three guests and myself, and they just rotate. And it's going to be an absolute marathon. We've got eight panels and then an after-party. Wild. So it's going to be a hell

of a time. Now, when is this starting? It's going to be 2 p.m. Eastern time tomorrow, and it's going to be, it's going to be wild. It's so fun. This is my favorite Christmas tradition now when it comes to hanging out with all my other bitcoins. And this will be no exception. Also, the feeling of getting out of like a six or seven hour stream and knowing like, okay, I get to relax a little bit for a few days and enjoy Christmas. That's a nice feeling too. So make sure you tune in tomorrow. It's going to be a big day. I've still got lots of prep to do tonight. And we are also doing tons of giveaways. You better tune in for them. You better be ready because it's going to be, it's going to be a hell of a time. So with that, I'm going to, yeah, Nico who, Nico who, just the guy that was on the
