What is up, freaks? It's your boy, Marty Bent, here to introduce this episode of TFTC. Getting the studio finally put together and sitting down, the set that we have here, I think it's going to produce some good content. We're stepping it up here at TFTC, freaks. Trying to make something legitimate, you know? Doing our best. This rip is brought to you by good friends at Unchained Capital. Unchained Capital is here to bring you financial services

that leverage Bitcoin's native properties. They have their vault product, which is a two or three multi-sig quorum, which you hold two keys. Unchained holds one key. Always have complete control of your Bitcoin if you have your two keys. If you're ever in a pinch,

Unchained is there to be a second in the two or three multi-sig quorum to make sure that you can move your Bitcoin. They've open-sourced that vault product solution via Caravan. They're contributing to Bitcoin open source community and projects. They've got an IRA product as well. You can roll over your IRA into Bitcoin and do it in a way where you actually control the keys of your Bitcoin that you hold in your IRA, which is very important.

they've got their lending platform which allows you to use Bitcoin as collateral to get US dollar same day liquidity and they're building out more and more products

every day they have a white glove concierge service that will take you from zero to having a multi-state collaborative custody vault set up you tell them the

TFTC sent you you're going to get $50 off that package that package includes multiple video conference calls they're going to send you hardware wallets

and then they're going to dump a thousand cuck bucks worth of sats into your vault once you have it set up go check everything they have going on at unchained.com

this rip was also brought to you by our good friends at Brains Brains there's a team behind Slush Pool which is the oldest and longest running mining pool in Bitcoin's existence they are also the team behind Brains OS Plus firmware

which if downloaded on a compatible ASIC is going to help you stack more sats with your hash it's a beautiful thing if you have an ASIC that is Brains OS Plus firmware compatible and you're not running Brains OS Plus firmware, you are

leaving stats on the table. It's as simple as that. The Brains team is also here to get you wise on everything going on in the Bitcoin mining space, whether it be via their blog, which puts out incredible content. They just dropped a piece on Paraguay today that I highly recommend you freaks check out.

On top of that, they have a data page, Insights, I-N-S-I-G-H-T-S dot Brains. Again, B-R-A-I-I-N-S dot com, which is going to give you all the data you need on the state of the mining industry, profitability of individual machines, pool data, hash rate, difficulty, all that and more. Go to brains.com to check out all this. This report was also brought to you by our good friends at HODL. HODL, HODL, HODL is here to bring you a lending platform that requires no KYC, no AML, and it's peer-to-peer. what you do is you go to lend.hodlhodl.com

and if you're a Bitcoiner looking for liquidity you don't want a tax event but you need to spend you need liquidity and you don't want to sell your Bitcoin you put your Bitcoin up in a two or three multi-sig escrow account you hold one key your counterparty in the trade holds one key

and then hodlhodl holds third key you do not have control over your Bitcoin in this however since you do hold one key you have visibility into the collateral multi-sig address where the wallet excuse me which allows you to ensure that as throughout the duration of your loan your sats are not going to be re-hypothecated so if you're paying back your loan you're going to get your sats back at the end of the day you know it's in the escrow multi-sig wallet

you put your bitcoin up as collateral you get stable coins of return and again you pay back in stable coins if you're a stable coin guy or gal and you want to get yield on your stable coins you're not doing anything with them this is how you do it you're gonna lend out huddle huddle.com and you put your stable coins up to be lent out on the other side of that marketplace go to lend.huddlehuddle.com check all this out no kyc no aml leverages bitcoins native multi-sig properties peer-to-peer it's a beautiful thing to see okay last but not least this rip is brought to you by good friends at the bitcoin 2022 conference we are two weeks two and a half three weeks away we're getting close freaks all right biggest conference in the world ever
