Basecamp for Men E205: Bitcoin vs. CBDC

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.

E143: Bloody Markets and Bitcoin with Special Guest Mark Jeftovic

 

E143 Introduction

Hello listeners, a quick housekeeping thing. I am off next week so no episode. We will return full steam ahead on Tues July 5th. Have a great 4th of July Patriots.

I love talking to futurists and forward thinkers. Whether or not they are right 100 % of the time is beside the point. Engaging with these visionaries opens up our minds and creates possibilities that weren’t there prior.

The topic of bitcoin is one that is being talked about all over the world. What is it? What possibilities does it create for humanity? How do we navigate this transition with a clear head? How do we continue to create sovereignty and freedom….for ourselves, our loved ones, and for future generations.

It is a topic that has been front and center for me and I like to ride shotgun with people that can help frame the issues and make sense of things. My guest today is one such person. Enjoy the interview!

Basecamp for Men E126: Throwing Bombs

E126: Throwing Bombs with Special Guest Mark Jeftovic

 

E126 Introduction

We are in an unprecedented time in our lifetime. On a global scale you are seeing a Great Awakening. Ordinary citizens (of all colors and stripes) finding their voice and making it heard. It is a beautiful thing to behold. The Covid narrative is crumbling to the ground. Can you sense it? Nobody gives a shit any longer. Everyone is ready for something new and something new is most certainly coming.

What is happening in the fiat/ cryptocurrency dynamic seems to be a reflection of what is happening in consciousness. A clear move into more sovereign ways of thinking and being with structures such as Bitcoin to support our collective emergence.

What happens when the blockchain revolution reaches every nook and cranny of our lives? A decentralized architecture without all the choke points and corruption that we know so well. It is easy to see how it revolutionizes money and transactions and how we store value. But how does this new paradigm impact voting? Or medicine? Or education? Etc. etc.

Because of the increasing speed of technology, this awakening is one that you can not only feel, you can SEE it like a great wave occurring. As my guest today points our, only the most brainwashed True Believers will miss it.

I, for one, am optimistic for 2022. There is a lot going in our favor right now and by “in our favor” I mean WE THE PEOPLE. We are not even to the end of the 1st quarter and we have truckers across Canada building a freedom convoy. Will American truckers do the same? God, let’s hope so. Anything that is built on a lie is collapsing or on the verve of collapse. We are in the process of strengthening the processes, structures, and inner knowing that will set us free. What a time to be alive!
