Basecamp for Men E225: B is for Bitcoin

E225: B is for Bitcoin with Special Guest Daz Bea

 

E225 Introduction

Before we get to our interview, I thought I would share a few memes with you as they have been piling up and I like to share these with you. Today’s theme is Bitcoin and freedom (two topics I am obviously crazy for).

The first one is from author and thought leader Jeff Booth, who says:

“All of the noise is just a natural part of a slow and messy transition from a world of deception, fear and scarcity- to a world of truth, hope, and abundance, with every person understanding the transition at their own pace. #bitcoin The chaos only tells you how early you are!”

And a great one with a Terminator theme. It had young John Conner asking Arnold Swarzennegar “Did you come back to save the human race from machines? In which the Terminator responds “No, I’m here to buy Bitcoin on the cheap”. Love it!

And former US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard who simply states:

“Bitcoin opens the door to freedom, opportunity, and individual empowerment.”

And one from one of my all-time heroes. The great George Carlin who says

“Sooner of later the people in this country are going to realize that the government doesn’t give a shit about them. Government doesn’t care about you or your children, or your rights, or your welfare, or your safety. It simply doesn’t give a shit about you. Its only interested in its own power, keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.”

Aho, and lastly from Humble Bitcoiner who says

“If you know someone that didn’t take the jab and now they’re telling you about Bitcoin, you should probably listen.”

My guest today is Aussie who got up at the crack of dawn to meet with us. Let’s go sit around the fire with him and speak the truth. Enjoy.

E225 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed our time with Daz Bea as much as I did. To up your understanding of Bitcoin and start to turn a corner on it, get Daz‘s great book B is for Bitcoin, available on Amazon. Like I said, it fills a sweet spot for new Bitcoiners taking you from noob into a more intermediate understanding of many of the important aspects of the protocol and why each is important. And a great resource for you to better understand Bitcoin is www.lookingglasseducation.com. They have courses and deep dives to help the new and experienced Bitcoiner better understand this game-changing technology.

E207: A BTC Firestarter

 

E207 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. I have been recovering from Shingles. Still not completely up and running yet but making small improvements. Working on getting you a few more good episodes before going on a short hiatus for the Holidays. Already thinking a bit about 2024 and Season six. 2024 is going to be crazy man. I think anyone with even a sliver of intuition knows this. Good time to take things slow and steady my friend.

What a time to be alive, isn‘t it? You are seeing truth coming in like a wrecking ball, laying waste to everything build on lies and deception. It’s glorious. I am here for the changing of the guard. For the emergence of humanity out from under a dehumanizing, centrally controlled Globalist system with an obvious master/slave fetish.

I have some memes and then a short-format Firestarter about Bitcoin. Enjoy.

E205: Bitcoin vs. CBDC

 

E205 Introduction

Hello Basecampers. Today is Season Five’s last episode about Bitcoin. That might be a relief to some of you. Next season it will be on the docket again though. Why do I include these as part of the center of the Basecamp curriculum? Well, because it gives us maximum optionality, to use a concept that my guest is fond of.

Why do I love Bitcoin? It represents everything the state and the Globalists hate: freedom, sovereignty, optionality, self-responsibility, WE THE PEOPLE. They want us to continue to adopt systems with a centralized control structure. WE THE PEOPLE counter with decentralized money and systems that will drastically alter our future and the possibilities that await us.

Oh, it will take awhile to cleanse our souls of the taint of fiat money-its corruption, debasement, its massive wealth inequality, to mention just a few. But the more you study Bitcoin, the more it reveals itself as a great ally to humanity. A quiet warrior who snuck behind enemy lines to detonate a fucking bomb into systems that sought to centralize everything into a system meant to suffocate and suppress all human expression of individuality, joy, and personal freedom.

Did you know that the US Dollar has lost 97 percent of its purchasing power since 1913? Did you know that the dollar has lost 17 percent of its purchasing power in just the last 3 years alone? Something has to give.

Do you still think Bitcoin is a passing fad with no intrinsic value? Well, it has become the fastest asset to reach 1 trillion dollars To put it in perspective, it took Microsoft 44 years to reach 1 trillion in market cap. Apple took 42 years, Amazon 24 years, and Google 21 years. Bitcoin achieved this in just 12 years! And we haven’t even got to the institutional adoption yet that will just get accelerated with the spot ETF approval that looks to be heading our way in early 2024. Bitcoin looks like a loaded spring from where I sit. Do yourself and your family a favor and get off zero bro? Yes I’m talking to you. Don‘t stand around flat-footed wondering what is what. At this point, I think you have all the information you need.

Here are a few memes that relate to today’s show. One from Bitcoiner and visionary author Jeff Booth who says “Imagine watching what happens to other nations and their people as their currencies lost value yet failing to connect the dots to the consequences of it in your own country. Imagine.” 

And one from author Tom Clancy, who says “What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms, and killing people. It‘s not good at much else.”

And a longer one but illuminating. I don‘t know who posted this, undoubtedly some Libertarian but it says

“125 years ago, you didn‘t have to ask permission form the government to: collect rain water, go fishing, own a property, start a business, build a home, get married, hunt, own a weapon, cut hair, sell a product, protest, sell food.

You can do virtually nothing without being extorted by the government and obtaining their permission first. If you still think you’re free, you‘re deluding yourself. You are just a free-range human living on a tax farm.”

And Jack Dorsey who simply says “Bitcoin changes absolutely everything.”

With these teeing up the episode, let’t get to our interview with Mark. Enjoy.

E192: The Bitcoin Signal with Special Guest

Connor Dent

 

E192 Introduction

Why Bitcoin? Because it represents truth and freedom and is an absolute game-changer for humanity. Particularly when you juxtapose it next to CBDC, which represent the Globalists attempt at more top down control of humanity.

I want to start by reading an excerpt from an article in Bitcoin Magazine. It’s the intro to an article on Amanda Cavaleri, a wonderful human, visionary, and Bitcoiner.

It says “Bitcoin possesses a unique identity and qualities that are cemented on the foundation of decentralization. Almost everyone who is doing the work to understand Bitcoin will eventually run into the cold, hard fact that, at its core, Bitcoin is about freedom. To those who have enjoyed individual liberties for their entire lives, the concept of freedom may be watered down or underappreciated. For those who live without it, freedom and individual liberty become pursuits of great importance.”

Aho.

Lots of news around Bitcoin with Blackrock‘s application for a BTC ETF and now we have Robert Kennedy Jr. coming out as very pro-Bitcoin candidate and very anti-CBDC. This is the pro-humanity, anti-globalist stance we are looking for in our Presidential candidates and our governors.

Today’s episode is with our Bitcoin friend Connor Dent. Nothing in this episode is meant to be taken as financial advise. Neither Connor nor I are certified as financial advisors. Think of this episode as two friends sitting around the fire, beer in hand, talking about the bright orange possibilities for humanity. Enjoy the episode.

E187: Gatekeepers and Bitcoin with Special Guest

Nozomi Hayase

 

E187 Introduction

Let’s see, I thought I would start off with a little overview of some of the next few episodes we have coming up. I have a good interview with Ole Dammegard, one of the most famous of all truthers out there. We will be unpacking what is going on in this spiritual war that we all find ourselves in. I have an upcoming episode with Sophie Maclean, who has a new book coming out. Sophie knows more about the human mind and human heart than just about anyone I know. Both Ole and Sophie are return guests.

And I am working on a July 4th episode, a special solo episode around my love of our great nation. July 4th happens to fall on a Tuesday this year so there is some synchronicity to that one.

Today is a bit of a hybrid episode. The topic is Bitcoin and my guest is Bitcoiner and writer Nozomi Hayase. But I wanted to read you a short piece by thought leader Jimmy Song first. This article first appeared in Bitcoin Magazine and the topic of this article and the latest issue of Bitcoin Magazine is gatekeepers. Enjoy Basecampers.

Nozomi Hayase Bio
