It's raining where I'm at. So I thought I'd do a live. Well, there's not a lot of noise out front. What currently am?
sort of a semi-public place. So there's usually people out front.
talking about what are the state of things? One important question I got asked was, you know, a way out. What do people, you know, where do I see things going in the future? What's the way out?
And I would say right now the current state, there's more noise than ever. There are more misdirection, more division, people focusing on, I would say, upper layer problems.
Right? You got people fighting for free speech, but they're not looking for the tools to preserve free speech.
So you can shout about all, "Well, we need this preserved free speech." So and so should save us. This should happen on your mountain of quicksand, aka
your large following on Twitter or Facebook or YouTube or any of these centralized sites where you do not own the account preaching about freedom of speech.
Yet you are doing so from a place with no leverage. You're doing so from the palm of the very people who you are preaching against.
It's like being against a church, but yet using that church to do your sermon. It doesn't quite make sense when you get kicked out at any time, especially if you're speaking out against the very people.
Not as many people that I would like talking about problems, how to solve these things from a practical point of view.
So many people are so obsessed with gaining awareness, gaining a following, trying to be heard with all these loud noise, trying to be proven right. Listen that.
when we're in the state clearly that we should be
taking a collective deep breath, realizing what we have in this technology. This is why I'm so focused on crypto. I have been for the last five plus years.
It's the obvious solution. You look around, there is no other solution.
There's nothing. If as a human you cannot preserve the value that you create, because that's all money, any of this things are. These are just pointers. They're just scorecards for how much value you have and you retain that number. This is my value.
you number for today. This is how many points I have. This is what I can spend to get food. Animals, they go, they eat other animals, they eat grass, they eat from the earth. They don't have a value, a cruel system like humans do. Humans don't operate that way.
We used to, not anymore. Now we live in things called concrete jungles. Now you're forced to play this game where you retain a number and you need that number to be high enough to support your standard of living, your food, the roof over your head, etc. Providing.
And that very number in the game we're currently playing has been threatened.
Just whatever you want to blame.
And that's where the noise is. That's sure. It's fine to know, okay, well, this was the reason.
But in this scheme of things, it's irrelevant when you can just go to the source. Right. You can look at the upper leaves of a branch, you say, well, this one's rotted or you can just cut it off from
the stem and move on. Like you can find a reason why, but oh, well, maybe this branch wasn't getting this or maybe we need to do that. But the point is you know what the solution is. Cut it out.
So, when we preach these things, when we're talking about crypto, and the sad part is I hear a lot of people who are pro-fridimus speech, they're very pro-value sovereignty, the ability to keep and retain value.
Yet the protocols that they're using are centralized and/or dead ends, dead on arrivals when it comes to building applications. Because the point should be seen. You should take a macro point of view of this, right? We take a step
back, you say, okay, what do we really need? We need the ability to communicate? That can't be disrupted. We need the ability to have a point system that is not controlled by any one entity, right? But by a diverse group that's worldwide.
The smaller and more centralizing the entities that control the value flow, the more easy it is to be manipulated. Power corrupts, absolute power always corrupts and we've always seen this.
are currently in the times of weak men, weak personas. If you want to call them, the collective, we've had it good for a while and it's starting to show.
and the corruption at the very top of most of society is starting to smell.
and it's becoming apparent to pretty much everyone at this point.
Now you can either live with it.
Right, you can accept it and say, well, this is what it is.
Or you could say, well, no, I'm going to use that as a rock bottom. I currently know the standard and we're going to build our way out.
I've never been one to settle. You give me 1% for greatness.
I'll take that any day over 99% average, 'cause I'm not trying to live an average life. I'm not trying to settle. I'm not trying to say, well, little bits okay.
It's never okay, it's always a fight to get rid of it all. You'll never get rid of it all, but you should at least be fighting that.
So while it's good to have a strong mindset to be healthy, to know how to communicate, to build strong relationships, all of these things are very important.
And these are a lot of the things that people preach when they're talking about, you know, freedom of speech.
having the ability to not be censored.
It's very important to dive really deep into that.
And when you take something seriously, you look at it from square one.
Need freedom of speech. Okay. How do we get there? And you can't just look at the status quo. Any idea that's been put out there is already old. Now if no one is perfect,
If nothing is perfect, that means the smartest human being has put out the greatest idea that idea once it hits paper, it's stale. It can be improved.
It's already outdated. You should be working. That should not be your ceiling. That should always be your floor.
Because you can say, "Oh, well, I think this person is smarter." They gave you a shortcut. You can now stand on their shoulders. Because there's no longer a moving target.
Some people look at crypto, they say, well, this is the answer, that is the answer, you know.
Everyone knows that by now that anyone that follows me, the protocol I believe in, I believe in Hive.
I believe that it's very rare to get in this type of situation. You never hear me talk price, you never hear me talk about investment. I always talk about the technical stack and the reason for it and why it's needed.
I'm not somebody who shies away from the word coin or the word token. I believe unincentivized infrastructure is the future. And this is a very scary thing. Like this isn't this is not a game. People think this crypto make money blah blah blah. Like we
have two futures. Either people believe and incentivizing every stack and that incentive has enough liquidity to make this thing churn or people think it's going to bring your own note. And in five years you're going to have the Jack Dorsey's going to have
the centralizing entities controlling all of these major crypto protocols via their centralizing infrastructure. You think lightning is going to bring you decentralization. You think layer 2 on Ethereum is going to bring you decentralization.
and anyone who's studied this with critical it's important to come with critical thinking. You can you can take all the smart ideas that anyone's ever said in crypto and use those as your floor. Now critically examine and critically think what makes sense and what doesn't.
makes sense. It's very important to do this because it's obvious. It's shockingly obvious the answer. If you do any kind of critical thinking, people don't do that for some reason. They'll just take whatever people say, right? And they'll say, oh, well, this, this, this is what it is.
You have to use that as a floor and now and now add your own even if your even if your Lego is small as shit and you can't even see it add your Lego on top of the eye to collective ideas and Improve it in one way your perception on it. Don't just sit there and make it a seal
It's very important because this is so, so, so important what we're heading into. I don't know. Maybe everything's okay. Maybe all this is an over exaggeration, but maybe it's
And the maybe it's not, there's a reason you get insurance because maybe lightning strike maybe it won't, but if it does you want to be prepared. Right now as a collective we don't have insurance.
And the insurance we actually do has very small and being overlooked or people getting fake insurance thinking that's going to protect them when it won't. What is that? Web 2.5? Thinking you're going to have a count sovereignty. People saying, well, this is the future. That is the future. Can't tell you why.
I'm not going to spend an hour talking about the tech stacks. You can read my high profile and you can go into the reasons why you need things built a certain way. No, I'm not a rocket scientist. I'm not even a dev. I'm just a
a lot of time who's done a lot of research. That's why I don't give anybody any excuses. There's no excuse if I can learn it, you can learn it. You can at least learn the basics and have a debatable opinion.
on why you shouldn't have layer one smart contracts. Why that should be layer two, why you need a data availability data available. That can be pronounced the fucking words. What's your excuse? Data availability layer. All right.
transaction layer that you live on top of, you can't have a slow, high fee base layer, because then how do you have these centralized layers? These are obvious questions with any critical thinking and you apply and practice, you'll say, "Oh yeah, okay."
So, and here we are, right? With most of the major protocols heading towards very bad paths. I have a lot of faith in Bitcoin, no faith in the Lightning Network. I believe it's an amazing tool.
but it's going to lead to centralization.
Bring your own node. You know who's gonna bring the nodes the chase banks the jackdoracies of the world the people who have all the money They're gonna prop it up and anyone trying to compete will get washed out and then eventually the red tape comes in and you get exited out. This is how it is. It's very vulnerable branch to go out on
And Ethereum is already what 75% compliant on the base layer need I say more.
I don't know. I guess that's okay for some.
So you know people talk about what are we doing in 2023 is like what do you mean what do we do in 2000 what what are you doing now like what is the calendar what is a fucking date have to do with anything like it's always yes, Dan
The answer is always yesterday. This is always being done now. People are out partying and getting ready for the night. Partying for what? What have we actually accomplished? We've moved the ball very little, but there's been a lot of negatives. There's been a lot of misdirection.
And that didn't sit well with me.
So we have a chance, I think, as a collective most of playing with it, we have a core hard core group on Hive. And within that group,
is some Spartan-like characters that are really moving the movement forward.
And I think in the years to come, they'll be looked back upon, right? Because you never know in the moment what you're doing and how it's going to echo into the future. It always seems small. People always say, well, how can I make a difference?
But if you look at this from a very practical point of view, you should be pretty damn excited. You should be a little scared.
the anticipation of what's to come.
You know, a little bit of that weight on your shoulders.
Little bit of that pressure is on your shoulders.
I don't know about you, but I live for that. What else is there? What else can you belly flop into, put your whole person into and get so much out of?
And I'm not just talking money this or that. I'm talking the connections you can make on how what is going on.
And I wish I could talk about more. I just don't feel comfortable with a lot of the other protocols. And I hear a lot of people who are pro-freedom of speech.
and they're mentioning these protocols and they're mentioning the future and what needs to be built.
a lot of it sounds like what's on hive.
And it can't be built there. And any person with technical knowledge is going to know that's what is it called the Rubes Goldberg machine. There's a clear path and then there's a crazy ass side path that's unnecessary. A lot of people are taking that side path.
because the main path cuts out a lot of middle people. When you have a fast, fearless, base layer, you don't need centralizing entities to give you a good user experience on the layer too to cut down your fees.
So you don't need these middle infrastructure providers, the open C, Z, et cetera.
having to trust layer two solutions, optimistic roll ups, all these things involve so much trust, require their own layer one token security, they all create their own tokens, pre-mines. It's really a joke and I know people
I don't know. It's weird. I oddly admire the ride or die. It's like these people are like, look man, a theory of maximus or Bitcoin maximus, I burned a
bridges. I've burned the boats and like I'm on this island and I'm just gonna have to go for it. And like a small part of me amires that right because it's like well that's that's that's noble.
But at the same time, the blindness, it gets to a point where you're actually causing damage. It's actually a negative thing for the very reason you burnt the bridge or the burnt the boats, right? What you're fighting for.
The oddest part, man, people think, oh, man, must be some kind of high-man. I'm not a high-man, I'm always looking for technology that can connect. I look at it as LEGOs. It's like, look, I got the transaction data availability layer. The layer too on content.
The later two smart contracts on Hyde are very primitive, the technology is there. And there's a whole world of EVMs out there, open source that can easily plug in. And when we start looking at these things like Legos, then you start to realize like, well, no, it's not about being a maximum. It's about connecting these things and making them work.
So I think we're an abundance of technology. We're in a crazy fuck world. It feels like a movie. Like you can't go on Twitter. You can't go on the internet in general without having some kind of crazy bot. I don't know what's going on out there. It's fucking nuts.
I'm always fucking working. I'm grinding. I'm not somebody who cares about the gossip this person, that person. You don't hear me call out people in terms of mentioning names. I don't care about another dude's life. I don't care about another person's life. As long as it's not affecting me.
Right, there's too much to do. People talking about it's a boring market. How are you bored? How is anyone bored right now? How do you have the time to be bored? Like we've done accomplished everything. We're at the finish line. We're just chilling. People talking about being bored.
There's so much to be done.
If you're bored then I don't understand what your perception of the future is.
Take a step back, take a deep breath, look at the collective and how the world is. If you don't think you need some kind of fucking insurance and if you don't think that your voice really matters, you don't even have to be good at speaking.
You don't have to be good at communicating. It does not matter none of that matters. I'm like half off I can't just I don't I'm anti social like I said I didn't start talking to us like three or four Real late speech problems my whole life all the issues right like
You don't need, you don't need a reason. If you're halfway reasonable human being, if your point of view is not insane, right? If you at least have some kind of morality, some kind of standard, you should be speaking up right now.
And there's a lot of noise. But you can't just be quiet because there's a lot of noise. You just have to be more collective and more creative in the way that you deliver your message.
Because we all know that these web 2 platforms are controlled. They pull the strings. We don't know what the real narrative is. We don't know what's really popular. What's really not. People are sheep in general in terms of, and that's not like a bad thing being called a sheep. Like you have to know what you
are. I'm not saying you can't evolve, but a lot of people right now have sheep as tendencies. And what does that mean? They see something and it's very popular and they just like it because the other people like it. They might want it must be good because a lot of people like it. And that's a very dangerous place to be as a society
when you can control the likes and you can control what has perceived as popular. I've been saying this for so long. Open source algorithms own your account. You don't have this problem. So while people are bitching, oh, we don't know what's going on. What's what's the energy there?
I don't go to the tyrant and say, "Please, I build to defend an eventually conquered tyrant or at least make them irrelevant."
That should always be the goal. On your account, open source the algos. Boo, boo, I might lose some followers or maybe the followers don't come up. Who cares? Are you that stuck? Are you that willing to have a rented account on quicksand that you don't own to be controlled just so you can have your awareness?
Right? Like, I don't know, man, I quit YouTube a long time ago when I saw it come in, you know, I got on Twitter. You don't see me doing anything but promoting. What I believe is the righteous cause. What I believe is the right protocol.
In the right way to do things and I've been banned for a year I've been shadow banned you know this and that do I go bitch and I don't care if they were to take my Twitter account tomorrow. It's whatever they come take my hive account
Contact the account that I own.
I wish somebody would try. Come try to take my account. You can't. No web too giant can affect my account. They can't ban me. A front end can say, oh, you can't use my front end. It's fine.
You can replicate these, there's dozens of others, eventually hundreds, eventually thousands.
So we're in a place where it's not so much about, please don't take it from me. It should be about, we'll come and try and take it because I own my account and you can't ban me.
You can't take my freedom of speech away. That's why I don't get caught up in the noise. You can save yourself hours and hours and hours of brain ache by just going to the problem and solving it.
You can complain about how your tooth hurts so you can get the core removed. The core removed, that's rotten. The rotten truth here is so many people are too reliant on centralized infrastructure when we are currently living in a digital era.
Like, not your key. Like, we're still talking about not your keys, not your crypto, not your assets.
It's almost 2023. Been saying that since what? 2016?
It's well beyond, like that's a basic. You know, people talking about the biggest secret in crypto with coin voting is how the stake is distributed, doesn't matter how many nodes you have, that's a state we're in. Again, thousand likes.
We're in a state where it feels like idiocracy. And I know crypto is not sexy. It's fun and all with the entities and the apps. Yeah, sure, but like trying to like talk about governance and talk about sustainability and tech stacks. It seems like nobody wants to put in a work with that. It feels like school. Like, well, why should I learn that?
So maybe because this is like a community controlled ecosystem, and maybe you should learn a little bit about it and understand the situation we're in, because the lack of days of equal approach is why we're currently here anyway. The whole, someone else would do it mentality.
Oh, I'm small. I'm not important. I'm not going to do it. That whole mentality is why we're here. Now we finally got the tools to do something about it. And I don't know. I feel crazy. Like when I saw the tools, I felt like a dog in a stake. You don't have to tell the dog to go get the state. You thought without the dogs going to find it.
I feel a lot of these people is like, what is this? Like you don't see the opportunity, you don't see the tools, you don't see what we can do with this?
You're going to complain about the status quo when you have the tools to fix it? What is this? What kind of world are we living in right now?
All our C is complaining. There are solutions out there. We've been screaming about them forever.
And it's not so much about all of us use whatever you want, but at least understand the basics. Own your account. Right?
turn sights into skins. I don't care how you do it, just do it. It could be any way possible.
If you believe in the Bring Your Own Note Theory, Bring Your Own Damn Note Then!
Prove and practice that there's enough.
If you believe in the incentive layer for every niche, then do that.
and show and show and practice how it works. And instead of competing, combine them.
This is never a competition.
I'm not looking at Lightning Network as a bad thing. I'm looking at ways to incentivize it.
I'm looking at ways to improve it. It's a brilliant piece of technology. It's highly liquid. Bitcoin's worldwide has tons of liquidity, tons of security.
I'm not somebody says, "Oh, look at that. It doesn't work in its current form. It's either a scam or it's never going to work. That's not me at all. I'm looking at this." I was like, "We can definitely work with it. If you don't incentivize it, you know what's going to happen." And of course, I'm going
I'm going to warn of both worlds. It's like, well, this is what I believe if you do nothing and it's current state, this is where it's going to hit. I'm not going to not speak my truth because I might get a tomato or somebody popular might disagree with me.
Please do so. Right. But that's what I believe in my reality. I have a lot of reason for it. I can lay it out, lay it out many times. Then you have the way I believe it can be worked is an incentive structure.
stake-based elected nodes that are a whack-a-mole system you can call it D-Post, but for lightning network nodes, something like that, and have a bunch of worldwide and find ways to incentivize anything's possible in the centers.
So I don't know, like all you can do in this world is research, research, understand, critically think, critically think, come up with some kind of belief, something
that you strongly, strongly believe in, not because someone else told you to, but because you came to the conclusion yourself with all the information available and there's a ton of information from all sides.
There should be a lot more on the incentive system. It's very strange how it's a little bit lopsided now, but there's still an abundance of information on that if you're looking for it. If you're that dog, you don't need somebody to tell you what a stake is. So many people asking where it's at, where it's at, go find it.
If you're really hungry, you'll find it.
You're not gonna fucking starve. You get clever. You'll get real clever if you're really hungry about it. And I'm serious about that. There's a difference. You can tell the difference, the fabric cut of somebody who wants it and somebody who doesn't.
You usually don't hear too much about the person who wants it 'cause they're busy. They're getting it. They're not there complaining, not there worrying about other people's lives, not worrying about this or that, right?
If it was up to me, I wouldn't have to come on this microphone at all. And I don't even know if it's going to make a difference. How many people are going to listen to this? What's it going to do? Who knows? But at least I know I'm getting on and trying and doing something.
I mean, you know, this is a small part of what I do. I like to build like the game theorize. I put my, I put my everything where my mouth is in terms of value, my, you know, my morals, my beliefs, all these things are aligned.
and every once in a while I come out of my hole and I look around and I buy some crazy, I shit, it just keeps getting crazy and crazy and I still hear people talking about things that are too upper level, too upper layer.
Complaining about things when it's like, well, let's solve it. Let's complain more solvent. Be thankful. Be thankful you even have them. That's the problem, man. Be thankful you even have a way out.
None of this could be here. We could just be totally fucked, but we have a we have an out. We have a ladder. We have tools. How are you not thankful for that?
Too many people just think, "Oh, it's a given. Just give me." Oh, I'm more dain. Well, of course there's a way out. I don't know, man. Spoiled. I don't know what kind of lifestyles.
Like when you've grown up without and you just had to go without you understand like okay well sometimes Santa doesn't come sometimes dinner doesn't come and that's a cold reality.
and people just think somebody's gonna come and save them.
Focus in, Bickeren. It's so comfortable you can complain.
That's when you know you're comfortable.
that you have time to complain and ditch and be bored.
I don't know man, like I could easily just say, oh well I'm not gonna, I'm just gonna fucking tap out. You know, uh, piece out just, you know, just live a very quiet life, move to some fucking corner of the earth and just clock the fuck out. But I don't know, I feel responsibility, I feel like
What I have, what I know, what I've been through, a lot of people have been there for me.
I've listened to a lot of people's words that have changed my life.
I don't know, just a part of me feels like I can't let it go. And I think a lot of people need to have that because too many people are worried about the impact they're going to make and not worrying enough about making an impact.
Who cares what anybody else wants to hear? What do you want to say?
That's the most important.
And too many people are worried about what there's gonna think. Who gives a fuck with some other person thinks about?
If you've done enough critical thinking...
Now's the time. And you don't gotta get political. I don't encourage anyone to talk about this or that, even getting specific. Have I gotten specific on one thing?
Generalize find a solution that cuts off all of that So many people censorship censorship and you can and you can go into the little stories of so and so was banned and this platform was banned and this and that and oh look at the files and all the crazy shit and like you can get lost in that fucking movie-esque boy
bullshit forever or you can just say look look just push this button and all of that go away and you don't have to fucking you don't have to worry about those thousands little mini stories so you don't want censorship anymore own your account on a neutral account layer use open source protocols own the community lists that you have you'll be able to create your
your own value mechanisms that are outside the control of any kind of government agency like the SEC etc. etc. be able to protect yourself and your community. These are the quote go there because time is too short and I just feel like there's too many people caught up in all of this fucking. I swear man I used to get cool
Fucking questions, you know about crypto layer one sensitive resistance I'm getting all kinds of like personal. I what do you think about so and so what do you think about this and that? And I say more and more and say man Okay, I answer all of those questions by saying all of that is fucking irrelevant
The only thing that matters is the parameters. You can either
I've learned and it's a sad truth. There is no right and wrong. There is no morality. There's none of this bullshit. There is where the group awareness, the mass awareness of the world, what they perceive and what they don't perceive and what they
perceive is your reality. If there's enough people on this planet to see things a certain way, that's how it is. And you can sit back and say, oh, well, there shouldn't be train tracks here. And you see the train coming. It's not going to stop the outcome. So I'm very practical in that way.
Okay, well, this is this is the reality of the situation. So what you have to do is fight for the parameters at the very first step. We're not talking about the 50th step. We're not talking about what should or shouldn't be the fight is at the very the fucking door you enter.
You go left, you go right, the parameter, the very core of it. And if we can't get together as a species and make the parameter more attractive, more desirable for the mass awareness to go through that door.
2.5 wins that battle if they because we have we have all the things that that Web 2.5 can't do like we it's like magic if you compare it all we have to do is harness it and package it right that's all you have to do so you have to understand we can do things that Web 2.5 can't do it's like a parent of Z
Zoo versus the Amazon. There are two completely different things. You could try to replicate one, but it's fake. And you can full new people who've never been to the Amazon that this is real and this is what it is. And if they only know that zoo, that's the reality. And that's what we'll fucking live in some kind of fabricated bullshit web 2.5.
and that would dominate. Imagine that hell world.
or we can keep spreading and showing people, no, no, no, that's not fake. One glimpse at the Amazon doesn't matter how long you've seen the zoo, you understand. Oh, that's, I see, clear as day. Real fake.
We're fighting for the core parameter. Web 3 versus Web 2.5. Whatever you want to call it, man, names are irrelevant. Sensorship resistance, account ownership, neutral account layers. The base parameter is either going to be controlled by small entities or controlled by a community.
If the one that's controlled by small entities gains the mass awareness the game has been lost at least for us fighting for censorship resistance fighting for what's right you know
Yeah, it's all right. I just said there's no right or wrong, but you have to believe in at least a path and say, well, listen, this is the path that I believe we want to live. I want to live in it. There's enough people that feel the same way.
But we can't just expect it. We can't just expect the group awareness, the mass awareness to understand this stuff and to think they're going to be able to, you know, it's a 50/50. It's a lot of it. They don't understand. They might only see that door. They might even know our door exists. What do you do then? How do you, how do you fall
somebody for being, you can say, oh, you shouldn't know. And a train track shouldn't be there either. People got lives, they got a lot going on, a lot of stress, you know, money's a big issue for a lot of people right now. It's hard to have the time to understand this stuff.
You can't fault for somebody so the people who've been fortunate enough because no it's not your skill it's not your such a badass you're fucking lucky to know this you're lucky to be here shanakon wood that you have the knowledge and understanding of what's going on
You can't just say, "Oh, I'm smarter than you." That's fucking idiotic. You're lucky. We're all lucky. Very fucking lucky to know what we know.
and other people are unlucky that they haven't found out yet
It really comes down to that and that's the way I perceive it. So it's either the lucky ones are gonna be, you know, or not gonna be jackass isn't just hoarded or we're gonna be able to show, okay, this is the alternative path. This is the Amazon. This is what it really looks like.
people be okay with a little bit of censorship. And what happens is it gets twisted and they fight for the censorship. And then you're like, oh, yeah, that's the bad. Their policies are bad. Their beliefs are bad. And when you, it's very scary. Think about this situation. You have people who
control what you see and what you believe is popular. Oh, this narrative is popular and you keep seeing it day and day out and you deep down you're like, I think that's kind of wrong. That makes me feel uncomfortable but so many people believe in it. Then eventually get brainwashed and you just say, oh, yeah, that's what I believe. And then the people who don't believe in
that you start to fight against because you get popular. People say, "Oh, well, I have a collective group here, and if I don't at least throw one stone, they're not going to accept me." It becomes a very scary situation when you get into that world. Then you embolden it, and you let it keep going, and going
and going without any kind of countermeasurement, without any kind of, "Hey, look it over here, there's another opinion." We've been in that situation for quite a while and we're seeing the effects of that. Now there's some chaos going on, people are starting to break up and come out of that reality.
But the fact that we were able to get there in the first place. And now we're like, oh, well, you know, the cracks are here. We've won. Like you've just woken the beast. But you just, you just realized that you just let the beast realize that this is a fight. That's all.
Second control at one second, easy control at one second. And the second time you control it, you tend to cut out the mistakes you made the first time.
So we shouldn't let that arm get anywhere near us. Once they grab, it's over.
So yeah, I don't know. I don't know what you would call this video. I just felt like getting some, some, just had some questions
build up and I'll start to see some questions that annoyed me just the basics like I said you get cool questions and the questions are starting to become
So, we're in a dog fight. If you haven't realized that, if you haven't understood that by now, if you're living in your nice little cozy life where you can complain and you can be bored and you can theorize about freedom of speech and what it shouldn't be,
You know, just be thankful for the situation you're in and understand that you can actually make a big difference. And if I was you, right, because I wouldn't want to wake up five years from now and be like, fuck, like, I didn't think it would happen but I didn't have insurance and now here we are.
and I have fucking kids or I have young family and they have to go through his bullshit and I didn't step up. It all sounds so cliche, but how many times in history, how many times in history if people didn't step up, we'd be in a much worse situation. And you think at the time when they were stepping up, they were going to make such a monumental effect?
Again, T you go back in time and you ask them they wouldn't, they all maybe.
Because nothing's ordained. And here we are yet again.
And people think that it's all a movie, like, you know, people drop names at WF, Elon, all these things. What am I going to say? It's fucking a relevant. All these boogeymen, all these entities, all these things to distract you.
like their solutions here. Communities could bring value. We all know what fiat is. It's a number backed by violence. We need a number and it needs to be backed by something. The number needs to be secure. This number in fiat is backed by violence, right? And banking cartels.
and all that. So you go to work and you say, "Look, I worked this many hours and my hours were worth this and I want this number to retain in my account." We need a marker. We've always had one. That's all it is. It's only a perception that, "Hey, we agree to size value out of convenience because I don't want to trade you a target
for a hat. I want to trade you some kind of fucking universal coin or even more convenient, a digital for the good. Obviously I'm always a fan of physical because, you know, worst case if digital goes to hell you at least have something, but digital goes to hell with fuck.
anyway like those of us people are saying oh what the internet goes out let's say the net goes out your fuck so like okay like yeah you can prepare like get your sticks and shield or whatever the fuck you're in whatever you need but you know if it comes to that you know you better have your food and
Supply and have your insurance, right? But I'm somebody who a lot of people like to go in the middle of the road like, okay, you prepare for the left, okay, no internet blah, blah, blah, blah, get you some fucking corn, whatever, get some rice and grain, you know, get you enough supplies. All right, you got your insurance. If it happens, you're ready.
But then I like to prepare for the best outcome. Because that's the most challenging. A lot of people don't prepare for that. They're so focused on a negative when the good comes. They don't get the most out of it. They weren't prepared for it. And it collapsed. And it's like, what the hell is that about? Why are you only gonna prepare for the bad and then when the good comes, you
don't get the best out of it and it collapses and you don't get the most out of the opportunity. So I live my life as if this is the outcome. This is what this is what it is. And if I do my job, it's going to work. And if you live in that kind of mindset, it's amazing the amount of miles you can get out of yourself. How much you can push yourself.
Because too many people live in a middle of why I don't know. That's a given. You don't know. That's why you prepare for two situations and then you live in one. I'm not here living in, oh well, this could happen, that could happen.
already planned for that. If it does, cool. Let's focus on what can happen, but in the positive manner. What we can do about it. Lot we can't do about. Most in life, we can't do anything about it.
That's why I should be super excited to get your hands on something that matters that you can't do about it.
And the power of one person, man, you think you're nothing. You think that you're just some person that that no one knows, you know, I think you don't want to say how powerful you can be, how powerful you currently are. How much positive damage you can do in this world, how much you can really pierce.
Too many people live on autopilot. Turn on the critical thinking button inside your head.
Evolve, go to another level, pick up the armor, understand that you can also make a difference. That's the most powerful part. That's the fun part.
Because I have two modes. I have we're all the same energy. We're all basically eyeballs.
of the same head, right? If you had eyes in the back of your head, those eyes could tell you a completely different life and a completely different story than the eyes on the front of your head could. So that's how I sort of perceive consciousness in life. We have one big collective brain because you don't have your thoughts, your thoughts just come to you. You didn't create your thoughts, they just float into your fucking brain. You don't know where#
where they came from or where they go. So, you know, that's why you have to be incredibly humble and understand all this is shared. Everything you know is not yours. You've just discovered it. So I can easily go back to that and if my life was to blink was I who cares? I'm in a big fucking cosmic energy. I'll be another set of eyeballs. It's not that big of a fucking deal.
And then there's the okay, well, what are we looking at? Let's play the game. Let's get serious about it. Let's take it serious. Let's do something fun. Let's actually, you know, there's so many people who think they're too good for the game. Too cool for school. I live in two modes. It's like Buddhist monk mode, whereas like what
nothing fucking really matters. So just go for it. Like who cares? You got another set of eyeballs waiting for you, right? You have that as your default. And then when you focus on the task at hand, get corny about it. Get passionate about it. Get angry. Have a motion. Play the game.
That's the whole point of having the fucking eyeballs. Don't live in the middle where it's like, oh, well, you know, you know, you know, uh, not either nothing that's either matters. I'm just going to live that way or everything matters and you're so stressed all the goddamn time.
So I think we're in a very interesting point the game is getting fucking annoying though like a lot of people are fucking up the game I want to enjoy the game my kids want to enjoy the game right a lot of people I know when I enjoy the game that we're currently playing called life and a lot of people are fucking up making it weird
It doesn't have to be this weird, it doesn't have to be this complicated. We have the tools, we can shut up all this argument, we can pick them up and we can make censorship irrelevant.
make new forms of perceived digital value that we back, that we say have value, create our own marker stones. Why do we have to have some government? Why do we have to have some centralised entity do all this for us?
Ask yourself these questions. I can't do it alone. You can't you know, it takes everyone takes so many fucking people to perceive this.
So yeah, I might be echoing, yelling into the best, but as I like to say, the best will hear me.
There's the only thing that's there, there's the only thing that's there.
I'll hear my own echoes. Scream into something, no, get mad, get angry, wake up. Don't just fucking be on idle every day right now. It's pretty fucking important. If you're taking the game seriously, if you're clocked
out right if you're in a cosmic consciousness cool right you know like I said nothing's really important but if you actually want to take this seriously and have some fun get excited man don't be a victim right become victimless go go
go after it. Take all the pain, focus into a Kamehameha and go for it. Yeah. So, dates all this shit so relevant, but I guess happy new year. It's gonna be 2023.
Let's become more powerful. Let's stop looking for people to lead. Let's become leaders ourselves. Yep. And no matter who you are, where you're at, you can step up. You can make a difference. You can focus on yourself.
and research. You could come above average at any niche topic in the world, teach it for free, grow in abundance. It's all there for you. Kill it here. Cheers. Peace.
