00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.000
Hey friend, listen. I know the world is scary right now. Corruption, war, inflation, demographics,

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:18.000
degeneracy, disease, unrest, hatred, and despair. We didn't come here to tell you how it is,

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.000
but that it's going to get way better.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:29.000
Better by Bitcoin.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Hey, hey, welcome in to episode 29. Better by Bitcoin. We are super stoked to just kind of get back

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.000
in. It's just going to be myself and Anton today. A couple folks are traveling and just kind of doing

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:59.000
some stuff. But today's topic is what are you even doing? I'll let Anton kind of break down the bigger

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.000
thing. But one of the things that we're going to try today is part of the reason we started this was

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.000
just kind of like test things and see how we can kind of learn. Because I think that's the whole

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.000
premise of this was like learn, inspire, move forward. And so we're going to try and like start

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.000
each block and by block, I mean like when we're kind of going back and forth and kind of giving our

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.000
takes on things by saying like, what are you even doing? So it's like if it becomes a little

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.000
repetitive, it's intentional. But I think the goal is to just kind of like actually hammer home that

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.000
point of like, what are you even doing? Like, what am I doing? What are we all doing and all this?

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:42.000
And so I kind of let you break down your take on the topic.

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.000
What are you even doing? OK, so are we going to start it every time that way?

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:55.000
I think, yeah, just I mean, this is go whole hog into it and see if people don't get super annoyed.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:02.000
I'll try to say it in different ways. What are you even doing? Well, the first thing that comes to mind

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:09.000
is people's personal finances. That means different things to everybody.

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.000
Everybody's got a different job, a different income, different expenses for different reasons.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.000
You might have medical expenses because of some condition that you have.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.000
You might have no kids. You might have four kids. You might have six kids.

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.000
You might have parents that are older and live with you.

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.000
You might have a high mortgage, you might pay rent.

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:37.000
So if you're a Bitcoiner, if you've gotten to that point where you're a Bitcoiner,

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:48.000
what are you even doing with your money to make sure that the your investment in Bitcoin is growing?

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:56.000
And. I'm thankful that I discovered Bitcoin because it.

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:03.000
It rewired my brain and my own perspective on my personal finances to.

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:13.000
Value having an additional amount of money to basically make more money than I spend so that I can save money in Bitcoin.

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:18.000
A lot of people already have that perspective. Maybe they automatically do it because of their job.

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.000
So they put money into a 401k or they have something that they like to invest in.

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.000
You know, I was doing that before I discovered Bitcoin.

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:34.000
I read a book called The Richest Man in Babylon, which it's kind of a self-help book.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:47.000
It's this allegory that essentially just gives you a story to help you visualize what it means to produce more than you spend.

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:59.000
To take a little bit of extra money and. Give part of it away and be generous and to take a little bit and put it into wise investments.

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:05.000
And why using that simple strategy that your wealth will grow.

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:14.000
To a degree that's way higher than the majority of people, and I was already sort of doing that before I really got into Bitcoin,

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.000
but Bitcoin kicked it into a whole higher gear.

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.000
I mean, you can look at Bitcoin over the last 10 years.

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:33.000
It's the best investment you possibly could have made when you compare it to things like stocks, the S&P, gold, real estate.

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:39.000
So that's what I'm doing. So, J.D., what are you even doing and what are you doing?

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:46.000
I think. So stupid. I don't know if this is going to last.

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:56.000
I know it's probably not going to last the whole thing, but no, I'm actually curious your take on the richest man in Babylon piece, because it's like I haven't read that book,

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.000
but I actually have had it recommended a couple of different times.

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:12.000
And I would be very curious to hear, you know, if you were to kind of like break down the core tenant of that book for.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.000
Like the use case for generosity in a Bitcoin world.

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:26.000
And so what I mean by that is like. Does it even make sense to be generous with a finite resource?

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.000
Yeah, well, that's a great question.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:41.000
I ask myself that a lot, as I have told you that in the last 24 hours, I've been generous to multiple people and just given them Bitcoin.

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:47.000
I've sent Bitcoin all over the world. I've sent Bitcoin to Kenya, to Bhutan, to Peru.

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:54.000
I've spent it in Denmark. And do I have a regret forever having spent Bitcoin?

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.000
I was looking yesterday. I bought a drink in Denmark. It was.

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:07.000
It was a pisco sour, I think, and it was twenty dollars U.S.

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.000
And I looked at how much the Bitcoin transaction because I paid in Bitcoin.

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.000
It's that Bitcoin transaction is now worth one hundred dollars in Bitcoin.

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.000
Was that drink worth one hundred dollars? Absolutely not.

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:25.000
So anytime that you've spent Bitcoin prior to now, you lost money.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:31.000
So if you were generous, had you waited to be generous, you could have been more generous.

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:40.000
So in that sense, I don't think it's probably a good idea to spend Bitcoin willy nilly, even if you're being generous.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.000
But if your income is being generated in fiat.

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.000
Then it's kind of all the same.

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:55.000
If you are generous with a portion of your money and then you take that same portion of your money and you invest it in Bitcoin.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:03.000
What generosity does is it frees you from having your faith in money.

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.000
It puts your faith in God or it just I don't know.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.000
You for me, it puts my faith in God.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.000
But it could just take your faith out of this.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:25.000
Thing, this this thing where the value is just eroding away from it, and it could even give you faith in yourself.

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:33.000
But for me, just personally, it gives me it puts my faith that the one that is providing for my needs is God.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.000
It is not me. It is not luck.

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.000
It is not random circumstances.

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:54.000
And so I just believe that if there is this higher power that is taking care of me and looking out for me, then I don't have to worry about spending something that truly is not a finite resource.

00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.000
I mean, money in the sense of fiat money, it is literally infinite.

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.000
Kind of rambling about it, so I'm going to cut it off there.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.000
I actually love that take.

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.000
No, I don't think you're rambling at all.

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:09.000
I'm actually very because what I was kind of thinking through as you're saying that is the is the.

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.000
Bitcoin may be finite, but adding value is infinite.

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:21.000
And so what I mean by that is like, what are you even doing if you have a scarcity mindset?

00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:33.000
Like, seriously, if you have Bitcoin and you have a scarcity mindset, you actually have the incorrect belief system around Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is a scarce resource.

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:41.000
But scarcity is actually what drives abundance, because you cannot have one without the other.

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.000
Like, if scarcity didn't exist, abundance wouldn't exist.

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:51.000
And it's the same thing about the point of a scarce resource is to focus you.

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.000
Like, what are you even doing if you're spending all of your time on everything?

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.000
And I have to remind myself that all the time.

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.000
Like, what are you doing if you're flooding your time away on Twitter?

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.000
What are you doing if you're putting away your time away, like doing things that don't actually matter?

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.000
Like you only have so much time on this earth.

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.000
And that is something that you will never get back.

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:16.000
Those moments that you ignored your kids, those moments that you ignored your significant other, those moments that you ignored yourself when you actually needed to take a break.

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.000
You actually needed to take a risk.

00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:29.000
And so this interesting thing happens when you start changing your Bitcoin mindset around a scarce resource into an abundance mindset.

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:36.000
And you kind of open your hands and you are generous because like the posture of generosity is this.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.000
It's like open, open hands.

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.000
And the posture of scarcity is this.

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.000
It's fists. Right.

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:50.000
And so if you have a combative fist mindset to the world, they're going to have the same thing back to you.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.000
You give and you or you get what you give.

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.000
It's like, what are you even doing when this is your posture?

00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.000
Right. You're you're you're telling the people that you're not collaborative, that you don't want to be helpful.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.000
You don't want to do anything. But when you do this, you know, you're kind of offering it up.

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:09.000
And you're facilitating an exchange or facilitating trust, you're facilitating a relationship.

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:19.000
And so I actually love the the note you said about generosity, because it's it's actually a really like a counterintuitive way to think about Bitcoin is like.

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:26.000
Spending your Bitcoin, using your Bitcoin, having a posture of this with Bitcoin is how you get more people into it.

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.000
You don't get more people into it like this.

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.000
You get more people into it like this.

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:37.000
There's a lecture, it's on YouTube by Charlie Munger, the business partner of Warren Buffett.

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.000
It's called the psychology of human misjudgment.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:50.000
There's this concept from that called the iron law of reciprocation, which is essentially you get what you give.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.000
So this happens to me a lot.

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:59.000
You have a neighbor who you see every single day and that neighbor doesn't say hi to you.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.000
They're not excited to see you.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.000
And you don't really know the person.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.000
And sometimes it really bothers me.

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:23.000
And what I learned from the iron rule of reciprocation is that if you every time you see that person get excited the way that your dog gets excited to see you when you come home and you've been gone for two hours and the dog acts like you've been gone for two years and it's just so excited.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:30.000
If you give that to people, eventually people will reciprocate that same energy back to you.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:42.000
And so in the same way with saving and investing in Bitcoin and then being generous with the abundance that you have to other people, that generosity will come right back to you.

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.000
It's reflected right back to you.

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:49.000
It's like the law of cause and effect.

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:50.000
It is a law.

00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:00.000
I love that thought of looking that person in the eyes and being like, you're just being a jerk to people.

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.000
What are you even doing?

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.000
Have an expectation that somebody is not going to be jerk back to you.

00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.000
Seriously, what kind of an expectation do you...

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:16.000
What world do you live in that you can have an expectation that somebody is going to be nice to you when you're a jerk?

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:22.000
It's like if you're rich and a jerk, you're still a jerk.

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.000
You just happen to be rich.

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:25.000
Yeah, I love that.

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.000
I'm definitely going to go and watch that after this.

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:40.000
And I think in my own life and just kind of what I've seen over and over again is even just in one of the things I'm working on now, it's like some...

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:41.000
I'll just give a perfect example.

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.000
What are you doing blaming anyone for anything?

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.000
Full stop.

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:52.000
The only person in your life you have to blame for anything is yourself.

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.000
If you didn't work hard enough, that's your fault.

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.000
If you didn't give enough, that's your fault.

00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:01.000
There's always a moment where like, sure, somebody could have given you or somebody could...

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:04.000
But that is not within your control ever.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.000
You have no control over this.

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.000
What are you even doing with this belief that you owed something or you whatever?

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:21.000
Because the only way you're owed something is if you were the center of the universe and you're not, right?

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:26.000
Like at the end of the day, the center of the universe is not you and will never be you.

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.000
And so what are you even doing with this expectation that you should get everything?

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.000
You shouldn't.

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:36.000
And so I think it's really interesting to tease out this thought.

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:46.000
Again, coming back to Bitcoin and coming back to scarcity and coming back to like this mindset of like scarcity and abundance.

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.000
You cannot...

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.000
Like if you have a scarcity, completely scarce mindset, right?

00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.000
Again, completely scarce mindset is this.

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.000
I cannot let go because I will lose everything.

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.000
There are moments that you should be holding on, right?

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:07.000
And that's usually the image I have is like the person holding on to the last trickles of time that they have when they're on their deathbed.

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:17.000
But I would argue that if you're holding on to your last trickles of time while you're on your deathbed, your story and your everything ends there.

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:29.000
Because if you're focused on what's happening to me in that moment, you're not actually focused on how do I make this moment last a lifetime and last a lifetime for the people who are sitting around me.

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.000
And so I think that like that's one thing that I've been reflecting on a lot.

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:37.000
I'm reading a really good book called The Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom.

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.000
Phenomenal book, highly recommend it.

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:46.000
Very similar to the Charlie Munger talk where he kind of like breaks apart reciprocity and those other things.

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:53.000
He's kind of breaking down these like five like time wealth and financial wealth and spiritual wealth and relational wealth and familial wealth.

00:14:53.000 --> 00:15:02.000
And the biggest one he talks about is the relational wealth.

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:10.000
But I would argue actually like relational wealth is a mindset thing, because if you just are a jerk like that neighbor that you're talking about, nobody's want to be around you.

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:19.000
And even then, like if you're not a jerk and somebody is a jerk, but you just constantly show them something nice, they're going to come around to it.

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:23.000
Like eventually they're going to just be like, I'm really an asshole.

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.000
I can't stop. I can't continue to be a butthead to this guy.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:37.000
And so, yeah, I think. As much as I don't like to admit it, those people who believe in the secret are kind of right, because the principle, the secret essentially is reciprocity.

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:43.000
And there's a lot of really good research that actually says reciprocity is the strongest of the human emotions.

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:53.000
And it's a perfect way to do it. It's like, you know, if you think about it, like if you were the center of a tribe or you lived in a tribe and you were to, you know, go kill an animal and then give some to another tribesman.

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:59.000
Well, when he, you know, she or whoever were to do the same thing and bring something home, they're probably going to give you some, too.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.000
Right. Are you going to get the same portion? No, but you can't expect that.

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:09.000
So, yeah, I don't know. I just love I love that thought about the like the Charlie Munger.

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:13.000
What is it, the iron iron law of reciprocation?

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:20.000
I don't know. That's actually exactly what it's called. It's there's a there's a few different ways of phrasing, but that's one of them.

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.000
What would you what do you think is most missed by Bitcoiners when it comes to reciprocity?

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.000
Like, I'm very curious your take on like or actually here's a better way to phrase that question.

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:40.000
What do you think you most took for granted before you were a Bitcoiner?

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:46.000
That is true now in terms of how you treat other people or other people, people treat you or how you expect them to treat you.

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:56.000
What are you even doing if you're an asshole and I'm sorry for being crass, but seriously, what are you even doing if you're an asshole?

00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:05.000
If you walk around being negative and pessimistic, how do you not realize that you're bringing that upon yourself?

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:17.000
And, you know, the secret there's there's a problem because people take God out of the equation and they put their faith in the universe.

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.000
So they're like replacing God with a thing that doesn't really exist.

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.000
But there but it is God essentially, but they're taking God out of the equation.

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:34.000
So the secret can sort of go down a dark path, but they are right because they are practicing this law of cause and effect.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.000
You get in return an equal portion of what you give out.

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:47.000
So it makes sense that if you want positive outcomes in your life, then you need to think positively.

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:54.000
You need to visualize the things that you want and you need to treat others the way that you want to be treated.

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.000
It's that simple.

00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:05.000
If you want to be treated well by strangers, by the if you walk up and buy a coffee and you're in a bad mood and you're just like, give me a coffee.

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:14.000
You think that that person who just saw 40 other people before you who all were grumbling and are mad that they have to tip and, you know, whatever.

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:21.000
They're on a phone call while they're ordering, not paying attention to the person you have to make yourself stand out.

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:26.000
And the easiest way to do that is to greet people with a smile and cheerfulness.

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.000
And it sounds so simple, but it's crazy.

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:39.000
I look around and I see people doing the exact opposite all the time and they get in return a negative world.

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:45.000
And so I somehow Bitcoin for me opened my mind to this.

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:54.000
I think a lot of Bitcoiners have had this experience and I think it's because Bitcoin is just code.

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.000
There's no it's like.

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:12.000
If there is systematic racism in the world, which in the American context, the way that that gets framed, I don't think it's a real thing the way that a lot of us are being told that it's a thing right now.

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:17.000
But there is definitely no systemic racism in Bitcoin.

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.000
Bitcoin doesn't care who you are.

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:25.000
It doesn't care if you're a man, a woman, gay, straight, what religion you are, what race you are.

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.000
It's just code.

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.000
It just works.

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.000
It just operates.

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.000
It is scarce.

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:35.000
It's one of the few things in the world that is truly scarce.

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:38.000
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin.

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:44.000
And so you have certainty when it comes to Bitcoin, whereas so many things in the world are uncertain.

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:48.000
When you step outside, you don't know what is going to happen.

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.000
You don't know what type of people you're going to meet.

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:55.000
And so one thing that you can control in your own life is you can be certain to other people.

00:19:55.000 --> 00:20:00.000
You can just make a deal with yourself and you can just tell yourself, you know what?

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.000
I am going to practice positivity in my own life.

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.000
I'm going to be a light to other people.

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:11.000
I'm going to be humorous, joyful, and a joy to be around.

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:18.000
And lo and behold, in return, you get humor and joy and just good things come to you.

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:27.000
And I think for me and so many other Bitcoiners, Bitcoin has helped open our minds to this concept.

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.000
It's funny.

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:35.000
I, you know, literally speaking to myself, I actually asked myself the exact question.

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.000
The second I was like, like, what are you even doing being a jerk?

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:43.000
I do like a little yearly like summit with myself in December.

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:52.000
And I literally asked myself, like, what are you even doing with the belief that your family is going to be good if you're not planning for it?

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:57.000
Like you will not find success unless you plan to find it.

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.000
You won't. You're not going to happen upon success.

00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.000
You're not going to happen upon getting thin.

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:06.000
You're not going to happen upon, you know, any of the things that are hard, right?

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:10.000
Any easy thing you can happen upon.

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.000
You can happen upon wasting your time.

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.000
You can happen upon getting fat.

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:15.000
You can happen upon being poor.

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:27.000
But anything that actually involves, you know, kinetic energy that actually involves the expense of something is going to require effort.

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:28.000
And it's interesting.

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:32.000
But the spark for all effort is here.

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.000
You have to actually conjure it in your mind.

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.000
And that's, I think, the thing that's the most.

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:50.000
Potent from a like religious perspective is, you know, I think the biggest thing atheists and people who don't believe in the Christian God miss is.

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:58.000
God gave humans or mortals specifically.

00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.000
The opportunity to.

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.000
Be impacted by physics.

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:18.000
And so what I mean by that is in this physical world, we have this really cool thing that angels and other conjured beings, demons, things like that don't have, which is.

00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:27.000
The laws of physics, which is momentum, inertia, you know, and, you know, potential energy and actually putting stuff in there.

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.000
We like putting it in or taking it out like frictional stuff.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.000
I'm blanking on the laws of physics, but, you know, the TLDR is.

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:43.000
We can be impacted by external systems, whereas angels or conjured beings, as I call them, cannot be, you know, angels.

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:51.000
You know, angels, if you know the context of the history or rather, you know, the biblical teachings and exegesis of like what angels are like.

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.000
They are good or they are not.

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.000
It is a binary.

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.000
You are created to be a good being, and that is your that is your state.

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.000
It's kind of like the caste system in in Hinduism, right?

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:10.000
That is not true in Christianity, and that's also not true in actual reality, right?

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:23.000
Like in reality, and if you want to just say just scientifically, you know, if you want to use the theory of evolution, like the theory of evolution is actually a Christian theory would be my belief on it.

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:31.000
Because at the end of the day, the theory of Christianity is unlike Judaism, whereas Judaism is you are a Jew or you're not a Jew.

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:39.000
Christianity is you have the opportunity to change and actually make a decision to put your belief in Christ and become a Christian and gain salvation.

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:40.000
And so it's really interesting.

00:23:40.000 --> 00:24:00.000
The. You know, things that I think sometimes people miss if they're like really in tune and really focused on, like the atheistic aspect of this is like, hey, like if you actually take atheism and boil it down to the scientific truths and then take Christianity and boil it down to the scientific truths, you're actually looking at the same thing.

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.000
And it's like, what are you even doing?

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.000
Ignoring the scientific conclusion that Christianity is real.

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.000
Like all you are doing is wasting your time and fighting a frivolous battle.

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:20.000
I'm curious what's your take on that of like the Christian angle of science?

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.000
Well.

00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:27.000
For whatever reason, for me, evolution was never an issue.

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:28.000
It.

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.000
I just watched, you know, Rhett and Link.

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:35.000
So Rhett had.

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.000
He did what's called deconstructing.

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.000
He had worked.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.000
Both of them, Rhett and Link, had worked for Campus Crusade for Christ.

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:45.000
They were essentially missionaries.

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:47.000
They were professional missionaries.

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:54.000
And both of them have fallen away from the Christian faith and through this process that people are calling deconstruction.

00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:01.000
And the thing that made their their faith erode was when they realized that evolution was real.

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.000
And for whatever reason, that was never an issue for me.

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:12.000
I learned about the theory of evolution, evolutionary science, since I was like in third grade.

00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:20.000
So I didn't come to faith in Christ really personally until I was 19 years old.

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:27.000
So I was already an adult when I when I came to it and and I was in biology classes in college.

00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:29.000
So.

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:35.000
Science is just objective, provable reality.

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:46.000
If God is real, if you really believe that, then science is just going to further prove that God is real because science is just objective.

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:51.000
And for me, the Bible, I see it as a true book.

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.000
Sometimes it's prose.

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:54.000
Sometimes it's poetry.

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.000
Sometimes it's history.

00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.000
But the Bible is not a science book.

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:03.000
That was never the purpose of the Bible.

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:15.000
So when people try to derive science out of the Bible, I think that's oftentimes where they go wrong, as opposed to letting science drive you to the Bible.

00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:21.000
Because how is let's say you're looking at a passage that is poetry.

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.000
How are you deriving science from poetry?

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:30.000
It's like is our Bob Dylan lyrics the same as like reading history?

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.000
Like, no, they're poetic.

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:38.000
Sometimes, like with the song Hurricane, for example, it's telling a story.

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:40.000
So it is telling a history.

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:42.000
But is it doing it perfectly?

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:46.000
No, he's using rhyming words and and things to get a point across to get a feeling across.

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.000
So that's just for me personally.

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.000
Evolution is just not an issue.

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.000
Hmm.

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:54.000
It's it's funny.

00:26:54.000 --> 00:27:06.000
You know, the the the other piece of the evolution side of it is carbon dating always makes me laugh because like two hundred ninety million years, I was like, no, we haven't been around that long.

00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.000
And what I mean by that is no one can prove that.

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:17.000
So if anybody wants to say two hundred million, a gajillion bajillion years, you just have to be like, oh, yeah, that sounds like, oh, that makes perfect sense.

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.000
But it's like that falls apart when.

00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.000
You realize humans cannot understand the exponential.

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:27.000
It's like, what are you even doing?

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:39.000
Putting all of your faith in these exponentials that people just hypothesize and then beloved about when no one can actually prove them on either side, true or untrue.

00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.000
And so it's actually like really interesting to me.

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:50.000
When someone's like, oh, global warming is real and I'm not saying it's not real, but they say like, oh, global warming is happening.

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:53.000
We've seen it's like the biggest thing you're worried about is carbon emissions.

00:27:54.000 --> 00:28:12.000
So you realize the fires that just happened in California or the, you know, eruption of the volcano that I just saw in Indonesia or whatever it was like the other days, like you realize the amount of carbon that those two events in the past year just put into the atmosphere is.

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:21.000
Exponentially higher than any of the carbon that was put in by all of the vehicles and all of the world times like 10 over the course of like one or two years.

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:29.000
And so it just it blows my mind when we get to kind of like, yeah, you're like Rhett and Link are have lost their faith from this deconstructionist piece.

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.000
It's like.

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:38.000
What are you even doing when you're putting all of your faith in science that evolutionary science that can't be proven or disproven?

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:45.000
Right. You can look at some archaeological evidence and see some truth, but you can't see the whole truth.

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:51.000
And so that's when I get really personally curious.

00:28:52.000 --> 00:29:01.000
And that's actually where, you know, I constantly look back at the Bible and look at the things that are in the Bible that were that are kind of tracked.

00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:07.000
Right. And like Adam and Eve, to me, actually are a evolutionary conclusion that the Bible is true.

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:12.000
And the reason for that is Adam was said to live, you know, eight or nine hundred years.

00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.000
It's like, OK, so let's walk evolution all the way back.

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.000
And like, OK, so how much sediment has happened?

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.000
And like, look at the like amount of time that has passed since Adam and Eve and all that time.

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:28.000
It's OK. So Adam and Eve, if God was figuring it out and God created these creatures for Adam and Eve to steward.

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:31.000
So there are creatures that Adam and Eve were created to steward.

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:49.000
Alive at the same time that they were and they, you know, were alive around 50,000 to 100,000 years ago or even just, you know, 20,000 years ago or even just, you know, just taking Jesus, you know, two to 10,000 years ago and then taking Egypt in the pyramids.

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:56.000
It's like. Say it was 20,000 years ago, lizards never stopped growing.

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.000
They just grow and grow and grow and grow until they die.

00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.000
There are other animals that just do that, too.

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:04.000
Even humans, when you die, your fingernails and your hair keep growing. Right.

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:11.000
If you were to look at the length of time that something was to live.

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:23.000
And say it was 900 years, just like Adam before Noah, when God kind of like wiped it out and he's like, OK, these things aren't actually working right, maybe the thing I need to change is how long something lives.

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:33.000
It would actually make sense that dinosaurs were around at the same time as humans, because, again, in the beginning, when God was figuring out the evolution of how long these creatures should live.

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:44.000
He made a mistake and, you know, people like, oh, God doesn't make mistakes is like, well, maybe he knew or he wanted to try something, because, again, I do believe that God tried things.

00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:48.000
And that's why we see all these stars. Right. I actually think we're the only experiment that worked.

00:30:48.000 --> 00:31:01.000
Personal belief. But that to me just kind of buttresses the Christian faith in my mind is like, OK, so if God is all knowing in my mind, then he would have had to have tried everything because that's how you become all knowing as you try everything.

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:08.000
And the billions of stars that we see in the billions of galaxies that we see are all these attempts at making this thing work in this mortal mortal realm.

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:15.000
And then I would posit, oh, why do we not see aliens? So, yeah, aliens are plausible in my mind.

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:21.000
But the answer to why we don't see them is because we're the only time we got it right.

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:28.000
Yeah, maybe so. I would just say don't be afraid of science as a as a Christian.

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:37.000
Don't be afraid that science is going to disprove your faith because God is either real or not real.

00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:45.000
And if God is real and you use the scientific method, it's just going to further prove the reality of God.

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:58.000
People can get into serious trouble when they're they're so afraid of scientific concepts that they just make up a whole lot of stuff around it.

00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:07.000
And then you end up looking like a complete weirdo to people who think that they have the upper hand because they're science people.

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:11.000
I'm just telling you, science is not going to disprove God.

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:13.000
So don't be afraid of it.

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:20.000
We've kind of wandered in a bunch of different realms and we're coming up around the midpoint where we usually try and change into the positive.

00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:27.000
You know, are there any other pieces on to like what we've been doing this topic that you think would be interesting to kind of like unpack and talk through?

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:30.000
There was one that I want to say.

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.000
What are you even doing if you're not making a plan?

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.000
What are you even doing if you were not visualizing success?

00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:52.000
If you think positively and you act with low time preference, if you put those two things together, it is so incredibly powerful.

00:32:53.000 --> 00:33:11.000
You have so much ability to produce, to create things of value, to create momentum that you then can go and do something simple like dollar cost averaging that extra.

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:15.000
Because if you're producing more than you consume, then you have extra.

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:19.000
What that extra is going to come to you in is going to be fiat currency, most likely.

00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:33.000
So what are you even doing if you're not making a plan to produce more than you consume, to produce something of value and then to take a portion of that, to be generous with it, to take a portion of that and invest it into Bitcoin.

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:35.000
It is going to make your life so much better.

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:44.000
But you have to visualize success and you have to make a commitment that you are just going to be a positive person in the world.

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:46.000
And that can be difficult.

00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:52.000
There are so many people who think that they are just there.

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:59.000
They're just a slave to their genetic predisposition to be kind of a miserable person.

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:07.000
And I'm telling you that you don't have to be that way, but you have to make a commitment that you are just not going to act like that.

00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:12.000
Destruction is so much easier than creation.

00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.000
To blow up a building is super simple.

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.000
To build a building is very, very difficult.

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:18.000
It takes time.

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:19.000
It takes effort.

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:21.000
And I go, I'm a trail runner.

00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.000
Oftentimes I'll go run up to the top of the mountains around where I live.

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:30.000
And I'm usually the only person up at the top because it took a lot of effort.

00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:38.000
But I can tell you when I look down upon the city, it gives me this incredible feeling, this feeling of peace, this feeling of accomplishment.

00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:40.000
And it took effort to get there.

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.000
But every time before I leave, I'm like, you know what, I don't want to do it today.

00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:46.000
This is going to be so difficult.

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.000
I never regret it when I'm up there.

00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:52.000
But it takes the plan and the commitment to get to that point.

00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:59.000
And so, yeah, just make a commitment to be a positive person.

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.000
Make a commitment to produce more than you consume and you will do it.

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:05.000
But you have to make that commitment.

00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.000
I realize I'm giving a motivational speech, but it really is that easy.

00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:10.000
I just love that.

00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:12.000
So I'm hoping we can inspire somebody who's watching.

00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:18.000
But like, you know, what are you even doing if you don't believe you can succeed?

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:20.000
What are you doing? You should die.

00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:22.000
You should literally just go and die.

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:28.000
And I'm not saying the literal death, but you should metaphorically die.

00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.000
So that way you can be rebirthed into something that actually can believe in yourself.

00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:34.000
You can do it.

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:39.000
And whatever inside of you is telling you that you can't should be killed.

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:43.000
You should go in there and you should do a deep dive and you should figure out what it is.

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:48.000
Is it a belief that you have because somebody told you you can't do it? Kill it.

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:53.000
Is it a moment where you made a mistake? Who cares?

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:56.000
You know, move forward. Forgive yourself and move forward.

00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:00.000
Like, what are you doing with the finite amount of time that you have

00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:03.000
if all you're telling yourself is you can't do it?

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:08.000
Because as Henry Ford has said, if you think you can, you're right.

00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:10.000
If you think you can't, you're right.

00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:12.000
What are you even doing if you think you can't?

00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:15.000
You're doing nothing. Stop doing nothing.

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:23.000
Stop telling yourself that you're bad or you're wrong or you're whatever or you're lazy.

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:25.000
Because you know what? You're right.

00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:28.000
You need to lie to yourself a little bit.

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:33.000
You need to tell yourself, no, I was lazy and I'm not lazy anymore.

00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.000
I was, you know, foolish and I'm not foolish anymore.

00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.000
I was making mistakes, you know, but I'm not anymore.

00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:42.000
You can make that change. You should make that change.

00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:50.000
I think the biggest thing we get wrong as humans is we think we are something and we cannot change that.

00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:57.000
The neuroplasticity that you have in your mind is unparalleled.

00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.000
They've done multiple studies on this and they've shown again and again and again.

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:05.000
When people hit rock bottom, they can completely change anything and everything.

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.000
You don't have to hit rock bottom to do that.

00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:14.000
It's like, what are you even doing if you believe you need to get somewhere before you can get to something?

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:20.000
You don't. All you need to do is change your mind and you can do that.

00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:23.000
What are you even doing if you believe you're stuck?

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.000
You're sticking yourself in the same place.

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.000
You are making yourself a stick in the mud.

00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:33.000
So tell yourself no. As Jocko would say, good.

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:35.000
Fucking figure it out.

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:40.000
And Bitcoin is going to help so many people.

00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:47.000
I can say that for us who have thus far gotten into Bitcoin,

00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:52.000
we have seen the value that we've put into Bitcoin grow.

00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:57.000
And I can't guarantee that that same amount of growth is going to happen

00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.000
for people who have never invested anything into Bitcoin and start now.

00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:09.000
But what I can guarantee is that the fiat currency that is being paid to people

00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.000
for the effort that they're putting forward is going to be devalued

00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.000
in an accelerated pattern from here until fiat dies.

00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.000
And so everybody wants money.

00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:28.000
So if you're just living to invest in money, it is going to give you a feeling of hopelessness.

00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:33.000
And for a lot of people, if they start learning about Bitcoin,

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:35.000
it is going to free their minds.

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:42.000
It is going to take away that scarcity mindset that does make a lot of people feel like,

00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:49.000
why am I going to work and just toil away to never see anything?

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:51.000
I'm never going to afford to buy a house.

00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:53.000
I can't buy the car that I want to buy.

00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.000
I can't get with the spouse that I want to be with

00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:02.000
because I'm never going to have enough money to afford that type of person.

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:05.000
But it really is that way for men sometimes.

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:10.000
And Bitcoin is going to free people from that.

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.000
Because Bitcoin is not being devalued day after day.

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:20.000
The fiat currency, by being devalued by the money printing that takes place,

00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.000
is going to put value into Bitcoin.

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:26.000
I can't guarantee that Bitcoin is going to go up tomorrow

00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:29.000
or even that it's going to go up next week or next year.

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:33.000
But over time, Bitcoin is going to maintain value

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.000
and fiat is going to drain value away from your life.

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:41.000
And so Bitcoin is going to provide hope for a lot of people that feel that way,

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:44.000
that feel like their life is meaningless right now,

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.000
that they're never going to accomplish their dreams.

00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:52.000
And all of us Bitcoiners who have been in it for a while have been experiencing that.

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:56.000
And I think that's part of the reason why we have this positive outlook.

00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.000
And I hope that it's contagious for people.

00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:05.000
If your dreams are not written down, what the hell are you doing?

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.000
Period.

00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:09.000
Everything that Anton was just saying,

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.000
if you don't have a plan and if you are not thinking about the future

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.000
and you're not thinking about how you can help people

00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:18.000
and you're not thinking about how you can help yourself,

00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:20.000
what are you even doing?

00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:22.000
You're not doing anything.

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:24.000
And to what...

00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:28.000
I'm sorry, everybody who's listening,

00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:30.000
we're figuring this out and kind of going...

00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:32.000
I kind of like this interesting format.

00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:34.000
Hopefully, I'd love to know if you guys like it or hate it.

00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:35.000
But the biggest thing here is like,

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:42.000
what are you doing if you are not focused on tomorrow?

00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:44.000
Like literally, what are you doing?

00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:50.000
If you're not focused on building a tomorrow that is better than today,

00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:54.000
if you're not focused on building a family that means something more than you,

00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:57.000
if you're not focused on building relationships that are stronger and better

00:40:58.000 --> 00:40:59.000
because you are a part of them,

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:03.000
if you're only focused on consumption,

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:05.000
like what are you even doing?

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:07.000
Like why are you even here?

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:09.000
Because at the end of the day,

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:12.000
you are candidly pretty worthless.

00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:15.000
And I don't mean that in a negative way,

00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:17.000
but it's just that's parasitic.

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:19.000
Like that is a parasitic mindset

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:21.000
is if all you're doing is looking at consumption.

00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:25.000
You know, if your whole goal is just to be able to consume more

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:27.000
without adding any value,

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:29.000
then you failed.

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:31.000
You have kind of failed at life.

00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:33.000
You can pick yourself up though,

00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:35.000
and you can change that.

00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:37.000
You can.

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:39.000
You know, if you learned those bad habits,

00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:41.000
those parasitic habits,

00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.000
I'm sorry that that's kind of what you've been cast as your lot in life

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:47.000
is to overcome that.

00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:49.000
But you have to do it

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:51.000
because at the end of the day,

00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.000
until you have a vision like Elon

00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:55.000
or you want to send man to Mars

00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:58.000
to make this consciousness exist

00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:00.000
and move forward forever,

00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:02.000
you're kind of not doing anything.

00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:04.000
And I don't mean that if you're a plumber

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:06.000
and your job and what you love

00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:08.000
is actually helping people like make their lives

00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:10.000
and their everyday better.

00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:12.000
Like I'm not saying that that is not admirable

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:14.000
and that is not something that you should admire.

00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:16.000
That actually is something you should do

00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:18.000
because you're focused on adding value.

00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:20.000
You're focused on giving people's lives,

00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:22.000
you know, more enjoyment, more betterment,

00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:24.000
you know, a lot of good things.

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:26.000
Like if your entire goal though is just like consumption

00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.000
is just, oh, all I want to do is consume.

00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:30.000
And you're a Bitcoiner

00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:32.000
and I'm going to go straight into Bitcoin

00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:34.000
as the angle like, you know,

00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:36.000
if you were blessed enough to, you know,

00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:38.000
lucky enough or dumb enough or smart enough

00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:40.000
to get in when it was a dollar

00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:42.000
or $5 or $10 or $100 or $1,000

00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:44.000
or whatever it is.

00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:46.000
If your only goal is consumption now,

00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:48.000
you got some shit you need to work out

00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:50.000
because there's actually

00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:52.000
one of the most interesting aspects

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:54.000
about Bitcoin is if your only goal

00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:58.000
is consumption and you die

00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:00.000
and you haven't actually thought about,

00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:02.000
you know, the future

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:04.000
and the betterment of your coins

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:06.000
or where they're going to go,

00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:08.000
you actually didn't add any value to anything.

00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:10.000
And the only thing that, you know,

00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:12.000
Bitcoin will do in a really funny roundabout way

00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:14.000
is distribute your wealth to everybody else

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:16.000
because there's that many coins

00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:18.000
that are now locked up and will never be used.

00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:20.000
And that makes everybody else's coins

00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:22.000
that much more valuable.

00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:24.000
So it's kind of an interesting thing

00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:26.000
of like Bitcoin is going to win inevitably

00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:28.000
even if somebody just has a consumption mindset

00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:30.000
and if people are focused on abundance

00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:32.000
and building more,

00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:34.000
Bitcoin doesn't care.

00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:36.000
It just kind of allows them

00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:38.000
to have a different measuring stick.

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:40.000
This is a terrible point.

00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:42.000
So if anybody wants to tell me to GFY,

00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:44.000
feel free.

00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:46.000
What are you even doing

00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:48.000
if you haven't written

00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:50.000
a great story for your life?

00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:52.000
Because I can tell you exactly

00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:54.000
how to make a good movie.

00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:56.000
I'm a filmmaker. That's my profession.

00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:58.000
You make a good movie

00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:00.000
if you have a great script.

00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:02.000
If you have a great script,

00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:04.000
you're pretty much going to have

00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:06.000
a great movie.

00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:08.000
I've also been given footage before

00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:10.000
as, you know,

00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:12.000
I get a gig every once in a while.

00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:14.000
Somebody's like, edit this footage.

00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:16.000
If I don't look through the footage

00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:18.000
and then write a story

00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:20.000
for the footage,

00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:22.000
if I don't create a script,

00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:24.000
I'm going to toil away

00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:26.000
at this mess of footage

00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:27.000
and eventually I might form it into something.

00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:29.000
It's not going to be very good.

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:31.000
It's not going to be super coherent.

00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:33.000
If I look at all the footage,

00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:35.000
take a step back and I think,

00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:37.000
how can I make this into a story?

00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:39.000
How do I give this an arc?

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:41.000
I'm telling you,

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:43.000
you can do that for your own life.

00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:45.000
You can write a story

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:47.000
for your own life

00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:49.000
and you will live that story,

00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:51.000
but you've got to write it down first.

00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:53.000
So it's more simple

00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:55.000
than you might think that it is.

00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:57.000
You've got to have these really big goals

00:44:58.000 --> 00:44:59.000
and dreams for your life.

00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.000
And if you have them in your mind,

00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:03.000
you're going to come close

00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:05.000
to reaching that goal.

00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:07.000
It's just like if you wake up in the morning

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:09.000
and you don't have a to-do list for yourself

00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:11.000
and you have a full day,

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:13.000
you're going to do some things that are positive,

00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:15.000
but you're going to waste a lot of time.

00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:17.000
If you put a to-do list together,

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:19.000
it might be a to-do list that's nearly impossible,

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:21.000
but I guarantee at the end of the day,

00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.000
you're going to look

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:25.000
and you're going to have checked off

00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:28.000
and I'm basically encouraging you,

00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:30.000
if you're listening to this,

00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:32.000
think about the things that you want

00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:34.000
and write them down

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:36.000
and they may seem unachievable,

00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:38.000
but they're going to be a lot more achievable,

00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:41.000
but you have to know what you want first.

00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:44.000
Yeah, it's like if you have dreams

00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:46.000
and you don't have them written down,

00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:48.000
if you have dreams

00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:50.000
and you don't have them written down,

00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:52.000
what are you doing?

00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:54.000
The answer is nothing.

00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:55.000
Take out some paper,

00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:57.000
take out your phone,

00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:59.000
make a list one through 10 and write them down

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:01.000
and then put them in order

00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:03.000
of smallest to biggest

00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:05.000
so you can get yourself some momentum

00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:07.000
and go get some.

00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:09.000
Period. That's it.

00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:11.000
That is literally the way to live a successful life

00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:13.000
is to write down what you're trying to do

00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.000
because if you don't actually write it down,

00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:17.000
you actually won't remember.

00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:19.000
Can you think of all the times

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:21.000
that you had a great idea

00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:23.000
that you don't actually remember?

00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:25.000
And it was so vivid,

00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:27.000
but then you forgot the next day.

00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:29.000
If you don't write it down,

00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.000
you will forget it

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:32.000
and you will not achieve it.

00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:34.000
Period. Full stop.

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:36.000
That is complete proof.

00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:38.000
And without vision,

00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:40.000
the people perish.

00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:42.000
And so if you do not give yourself a vision,

00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:44.000
if you do not give yourself a mission

00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:46.000
to achieve,

00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:48.000
you will wither away

00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:50.000
and atrophy

00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:52.000
and you will be nothing.

00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:53.000
And so if you want to actually have purpose,

00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:55.000
if you want to actually have meaning,

00:46:56.000 --> 00:46:57.000
if you want to actually have a way

00:46:58.000 --> 00:46:59.000
to achieve something,

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:01.000
write it down

00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:03.000
and go get it.

00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.000
Men specifically love quests.

00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:08.000
Men love quests.

00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:10.000
You can assign quests

00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:12.000
to yourself.

00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:14.000
So many people,

00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:16.000
they wake up in the morning

00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:18.000
and they feel listless

00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:20.000
and purposeless.

00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:21.000
Suicide is a huge problem.

00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:23.000
And part of the reason

00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:25.000
why people end up

00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:27.000
getting so despondent

00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.000
is because they're just like,

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:31.000
what is the purpose of life?

00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:33.000
If you have a quest,

00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:35.000
you have a purpose.

00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:37.000
I was watching Long Way Home,

00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:39.000
the new Ewan McGregor,

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:41.000
Charlie Borman.

00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:42.000
There was Long Way Round

00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:44.000
that they did in 2004

00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:46.000
where they rode motorcycles

00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:48.000
from Scotland all the way

00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:49.000
to Canada all the way to New York.

00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:51.000
Then they did the Long Way Up

00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.000
from all the way

00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:56.000
south to north of Africa.

00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:58.000
No wait, that was Long Way Down.

00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:00.000
They did Long Way Down

00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:02.000
from Scotland down to the tip of Africa.

00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:04.000
Then they did Long Way Up

00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:06.000
from the tip of South America

00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:08.000
to North America.

00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:09.000
The latest one is Long Way Home.

00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:10.000
Anyway, great show.

00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:11.000
It's on Apple TV.

00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:12.000
And the first episode is out right now,

00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:14.000
first two episodes.

00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:16.000
The point that I'm getting to

00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:17.000
is that you have four guys.

00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:19.000
You have Ewan McGregor,

00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:20.000
you have Charlie Borman,

00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:21.000
you have the two producers.

00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:23.000
There's a segment where

00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:25.000
one of them is playing

00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.000
with Ewan McGregor's son

00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:28.000
who's basically an infant.

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.000
He's sitting on this bench seat

00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:32.000
in this really nice house

00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:34.000
that Ewan McGregor has in Scotland.

00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:36.000
His cell phone falls behind the seat.

00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:38.000
The seat is in this 200,

00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:40.000
300-year-old house.

00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:42.000
It's made out of leather.

00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:44.000
You can't lift it up.

00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:45.000
It's made out of wood.

00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:48.000
So they have to jack open the seat.

00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:50.000
All four men.

00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:52.000
I'm looking at my wife and I'm like,

00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:54.000
you know, they're having

00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:55.000
the time of their life right now.

00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:57.000
This is making them so happy

00:48:58.000 --> 00:48:59.000
and filling them with purpose

00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:00.000
because they know exactly

00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:01.000
what their mission is.

00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:03.000
The cell phone fell behind the bench.

00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:05.000
They have to take the bench apart.

00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:06.000
They have to rescue the cell phone.

00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:08.000
Every man wants to take part

00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:10.000
in the purpose of this quest.

00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:13.000
The point I'm trying to make

00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:15.000
is you can assign quests to yourself

00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:19.000
and you will derive joy in your life

00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:20.000
from fulfilling those quests,

00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:22.000
but you have to assign

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:23.000
the quest to yourself.

00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:25.000
Those things happen in life.

00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:26.000
In this storyline,

00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:28.000
this is just a thing that happened.

00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:30.000
Their real goal is to do

00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:31.000
this whole motorcycle journey,

00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:33.000
but here they are having

00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:34.000
the absolute time of their life

00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.000
bonding together over this quest.

00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:38.000
You can manufacture that in your life,

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:40.000
but you've got to write it down.

00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:43.000
You have to make that story for yourself.

00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:45.000
I love that.

00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:47.000
Give yourself a side quest.

00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:49.000
I love that.

00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:50.000
Give yourself a side quest.

00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:51.000
Give yourself permission

00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:52.000
to have a side quest.

00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:54.000
Focus it.

00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:56.000
Don't make your side quest

00:49:57.000 --> 00:49:58.000
take forever,

00:49:58.000 --> 00:49:59.000
but I fully agree

00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:01.000
and love the thought of

00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:03.000
if you don't know what you're doing,

00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:05.000
if you're sitting there asking,

00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:06.000
what am I even doing with my life?

00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:08.000
Give yourself a little side quest

00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:10.000
that brings you joy.

00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:12.000
Your side quest can be stupid.

00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:14.000
It could be something as silly as,

00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.000
I want to build a birdhouse

00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:19.000
or I want to do something.

00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:20.000
I would actually argue,

00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:22.000
give yourself a side quest

00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:24.000
that doesn't involve a screen.

00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:26.000
The side quest you just talked about

00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:28.000
was giving yourself a side quest

00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:31.000
that involves finding a screen,

00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:33.000
but that was a different thing.

00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:34.000
It was a side quest

00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:35.000
that involved a screen,

00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:36.000
but involved using your hands

00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:37.000
to get to said screen.

00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:38.000
So I think

00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:40.000
giving yourself a side quest

00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:41.000
that involves your hands

00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:42.000
will connect you

00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:45.000
to the earth

00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:46.000
or connect you to the world around you

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:47.000
in a way that

00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:48.000
if all you're doing is tapping

00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.000
and you're just doing this,

00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:51.000
you're not actually achieving anything.

00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:52.000
You're not actually getting any momentum.

00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:54.000
You can feel psychologically

00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:55.000
like you're getting momentum,

00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:57.000
but there's an interesting thing about

00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:00.000
the stuff that happens

00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.000
between your ears

00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:04.000
doesn't actually do anything.

00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:06.000
The only thing it does something for

00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:08.000
is you.

00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:09.000
You can sit there

00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:10.000
and you can be seething

00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:11.000
at someone

00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:12.000
inside of your head,

00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:14.000
but until you open your mouth

00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:16.000
and you actually scream at them

00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:18.000
or you say a calm word

00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:19.000
or you just gently

00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:21.000
put your hand down their shoulder

00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:22.000
in a way that lets them know

00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:23.000
that you're displeased,

00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:25.000
like anything that happens here

00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:26.000
doesn't matter.

00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:28.000
It has to actually manifest

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:29.000
in the real world.

00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:30.000
So

00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:32.000
what are you even doing

00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:34.000
if you don't know what you're doing?

00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:36.000
And the answer to that is

00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:37.000
just go give yourself a side quest.

00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:38.000
Give yourself a side quest

00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:39.000
that involves your hands.

00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:41.000
Go dig a hole.

00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:43.000
Literally dig a hole

00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:45.000
and just do it

00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:47.000
for the purposes of digging a hole

00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:48.000
and think about

00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:49.000
as you're digging the hole

00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:50.000
the sensations

00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:51.000
and emotions

00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:52.000
and the thought

00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:53.000
because I think sometimes

00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:54.000
when you get stuck,

00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:55.000
sometimes you just need to go

00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:57.000
literally dig a freaking hole.

00:51:57.000 --> 00:51:58.000
Get dirty.

00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:00.000
Feel sweat.

00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:01.000
Feel

00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:03.000
the warmth of the sun

00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:04.000
or if you're in Britain,

00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:05.000
you know,

00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:06.000
the drizzle of the rain

00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:07.000
and the muddy slush

00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:08.000
in your boots.

00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:11.000
Go do something.

00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:12.000
But yeah,

00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:13.000
I love that completely.

00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:14.000
Give yourself a side quest.

00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:15.000
I think that's awesome.

00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:17.000
And what are you even doing

00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:19.000
if you're not making things?

00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:21.000
Men were made

00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:22.000
to make things

00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:23.000
with their hands.

00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:25.000
You might have a video game

00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:26.000
that you like

00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:27.000
and you sit down

00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:28.000
and you play the video game.

00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:29.000
You might beat the game.

00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:30.000
You might,

00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:31.000
oh, that felt good.

00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:32.000
But you can't step back

00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:33.000
and look at the things

00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:34.000
that you've made.

00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:35.000
You could watch a movie,

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:36.000
a great film

00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:37.000
or a TV show

00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:38.000
and it's like,

00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:39.000
oh, that was relaxing.

00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:40.000
Then you step back

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:41.000
and you can't look at it.

00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:42.000
There's nothing there.

00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:44.000
But if you go

00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:45.000
and build something

00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:46.000
like go into your backyard

00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:47.000
and construct something

00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:48.000
with your hands,

00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:50.000
you will step back

00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:51.000
and you will feel

00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:52.000
such a feeling

00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:53.000
of accomplishment

00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:55.000
and you'll go away

00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:56.000
or go do something else.

00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:57.000
You'll come back

00:52:57.000 --> 00:52:58.000
and you look at that thing you made

00:52:58.000 --> 00:52:59.000
and that feeling lasts

00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:00.000
for a while.

00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:02.000
And

00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:04.000
there's something

00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:05.000
inside of us

00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:06.000
that is

00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:08.000
is like a

00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:10.000
what's the word

00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:11.000
that I'm looking for?

00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:12.000
It's like primordial.

00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:13.000
It's like it's deep

00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:14.000
in our genetics

00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:15.000
that we are made

00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:16.000
to make things

00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:17.000
and so often

00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:18.000
in our lives

00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:19.000
we're not making

00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:20.000
anything anymore.

00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:22.000
And so we feel

00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:23.000
like we have no purpose

00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:24.000
because we're not

00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:25.000
making anything

00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:26.000
and you can solve that

00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:27.000
so simply

00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:28.000
by just

00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:29.000
making something

00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:30.000
with your hands.

00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:31.000
Yep.

00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:32.000
And also

00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:33.000
give me something

00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:34.000
as simple as

00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:35.000
cleaning something

00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:36.000
with your hands, right?

00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:37.000
Like, you know,

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:38.000
the simplicity

00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:39.000
of a

00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:40.000
clean space

00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:42.000
cannot be overlooked

00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:43.000
because your brain

00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:44.000
has to filter

00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:45.000
and process through stuff.

00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:46.000
So as you're going

00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:47.000
through and you have

00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:48.000
a messy space,

00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:49.000
clean your space.

00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.000
Like that could be

00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:51.000
your side quest.

00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:52.000
My side quest today

00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:53.000
is I'm just going to

00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:54.000
clean my desk

00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:55.000
or I'm just going to

00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:56.000
clean under my chair

00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:57.000
or whatever it is.

00:53:57.000 --> 00:53:58.000
Like give yourself

00:53:58.000 --> 00:53:59.000
something that's small,

00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:01.000
but also satisfying

00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:02.000
and something that

00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:03.000
you can see

00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:04.000
progress.

00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:05.000
Which one goes back

00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:06.000
to my thing about like

00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:07.000
if you're just doing stuff

00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:08.000
in your head,

00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:09.000
like if you're just doing

00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:10.000
stuff in your head,

00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:11.000
no one can see that progress.

00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:12.000
Not even you.

00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:13.000
You can feel the progress.

00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:14.000
You can feel like,

00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:15.000
oh wow, I made some good

00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:16.000
progress on that thing.

00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:17.000
But like if you want to

00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:18.000
actually make some progress

00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:19.000
in your brain,

00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:20.000
write it down.

00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:21.000
Write it down.

00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:22.000
Give yourself a goal

00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:23.000
to top the page.

00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:24.000
It's like I want to plan

00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:25.000
this story

00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:26.000
or whatever it is.

00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:27.000
Cool.

00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:28.000
I'm going to plan this story

00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:29.000
or I'm going to plan this plan.

00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:30.000
You know,

00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:31.000
you can do a lot of deep work,

00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:33.000
but I think you can get into

00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:36.000
a really bad way

00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:38.000
of doing deep work

00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:39.000
in your head

00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:40.000
that you can't

00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:41.000
actually extrapolate

00:54:41.000 --> 00:54:42.000
that you will forget.

00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:43.000
You will.

00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:44.000
Because they've done

00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:45.000
study after study

00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:46.000
that the best way

00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:47.000
to remember something

00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:48.000
is to write it down

00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:49.000
physically with your hands.

00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:50.000
And another study

00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:51.000
that just came out too

00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:52.000
is the people

00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:53.000
who are using AI

00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:54.000
and offloading

00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:55.000
all of that thinking

00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:57.000
to the actual AI

00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:58.000
are legitimately

00:54:58.000 --> 00:54:59.000
getting stupider.

00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:00.000
They are legitimately

00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.000
losing their capacity

00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:05.000
for intelligent thought

00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:07.000
and problem solving

00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:08.000
because they're not doing

00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:09.000
intelligent thought

00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:10.000
or problem solving.

00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:11.000
And so I think

00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:12.000
there's a really interesting thing,

00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:13.000
especially now,

00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:14.000
especially as Bitcoiners,

00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:15.000
especially as people

00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:16.000
who are trying to like,

00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:17.000
you know,

00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:18.000
if you want to call yourself

00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:19.000
a Bitcoiner

00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:20.000
and you're not actually

00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:22.000
trying to make something better,

00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:23.000
like, what are you even doing?

00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:24.000
Like, why are you even here?

00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:25.000
Because the whole point

00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:26.000
of Bitcoin

00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:27.000
is to make a better world.

00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:28.000
Period.

00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:29.000
There are guys

00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:30.000
who just want to degen

00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:31.000
and make a bunch of money.

00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:32.000
Hey, by the way,

00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:33.000
if you were a degen

00:55:33.000 --> 00:55:34.000
and trying to make a bunch of money,

00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:35.000
you needed to come in

00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:36.000
when Max Keiser

00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:37.000
didn't know the dollar.

00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:38.000
Like, you can make some money now,

00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:39.000
but even Bitcoin going to,

00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:40.000
you know, a million bucks

00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:41.000
is only 10x.

00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:42.000
Like, there are stocks

00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:45.000
that are going 10x overnight, right?

00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:46.000
That you can find

00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:47.000
that are kind of doing,

00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:48.000
you know, this stuff.

00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:49.000
But Bitcoin is probably

00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:50.000
not going to do

00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:52.000
the same 10x

00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:53.000
in the same timeframe

00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:54.000
as the people

00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:55.000
who got here in the beginning.

00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:56.000
And that's okay.

00:55:56.000 --> 00:55:57.000
What that means, though,

00:55:57.000 --> 00:56:00.000
is that you need to figure out

00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:01.000
why you're here

00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:02.000
and what you're trying to do

00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:06.000
and legitimately get an understanding

00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:09.000
of, hey, the value I can add here

00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:10.000
is perspective

00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:11.000
and the value I can add here

00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:12.000
is a side quest

00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:14.000
or a large quest

00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:16.000
that involves making something better

00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:17.000
for some group of people,

00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:18.000
be it my family,

00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:19.000
be it someone else.

00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:21.000
But don't just make it better here.

00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:23.000
Make it better here physically.

00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:24.000
A lot of people would look

00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:25.000
at, you know,

00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:28.000
Bitcoin's at 100,000 today, roughly.

00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:29.000
And if it goes to a million,

00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:30.000
it's only 10x.

00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:34.000
Well, Bitcoin did 20x in 2017.

00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:36.000
Well, yeah, another stock

00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:37.000
might go 10x.

00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:39.000
But can you guarantee that?

00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:40.000
Can you predict that?

00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:41.000
No, you can't predict

00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:43.000
that some stock is going to go 10x.

00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:45.000
So I don't think that

00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:47.000
just because Bitcoin

00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:48.000
going to a million

00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:49.000
is only 10x from here

00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:50.000
that you're going to go,

00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:51.000
you know, make more money

00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:52.000
somewhere else.

00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:54.000
So let's just forget about Bitcoin.

00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:56.000
And I wanted to say

00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:58.000
on the making something,

00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:00.000
you brought up cleaning

00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:02.000
as, you know,

00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:04.000
basically the same feeling.

00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:05.000
It's going to give you

00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:06.000
that feeling of accomplishment.

00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:07.000
The same thing is true

00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:08.000
for refurbishment.

00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:10.000
So many things are

00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:12.000
so disposable these days.

00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:13.000
You could do an experiment.

00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:15.000
You could go to

00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:16.000
Goodwill or something,

00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:18.000
go buy a used mountain bike.

00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:20.000
This crazy thing happens

00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:22.000
where you can take something

00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:23.000
that is old and worn out.

00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:25.000
And if you take it apart

00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:26.000
and you clean the components up

00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:28.000
and you rebuild it,

00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:29.000
you can make something

00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:31.000
as good as new

00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:32.000
or even sometimes better

00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:34.000
because you can exchange things.

00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:35.000
You can take little components

00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:37.000
and just update things a little bit.

00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:38.000
There are probably things

00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:39.000
laying around you right now

00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:41.000
in your life

00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:43.000
that are essentially useless to you

00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:45.000
that if you just took them

00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:46.000
and gave them some TLC,

00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:47.000
just cleaned them up,

00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:49.000
put a little WD-40 on them,

00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:50.000
took it apart, rebuild it,

00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:52.000
you're going to take that object.

00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:53.000
Let's say you've got

00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:55.000
an old rusty cast iron pan.

00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:57.000
Go and scrub that thing

00:57:57.000 --> 00:57:58.000
and refinish it.

00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.000
You're going to set that on your stove

00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:01.000
and you're going to feel

00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:02.000
such a feeling of pride

00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:03.000
and accomplishment.

00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:05.000
And then you take something

00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:06.000
that could have just been thrown away

00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:08.000
and you give it new life.

00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.000
And yeah,

00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:12.000
there's just a feeling of purpose

00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:14.000
that is derived from doing that.

00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:16.000
I love that sentiment.

00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:17.000
I'm actually going to take

00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:19.000
a step further of not even

00:58:19.000 --> 00:58:21.000
just refurbishing old things.

00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:22.000
But it's like,

00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:23.000
if you have things in your life

00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:24.000
that you're ignoring,

00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:26.000
what are you doing?

00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:28.000
Go solve that problem now.

00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:29.000
If you need to refurbish

00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:30.000
a relationship,

00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:31.000
if you need to go in

00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:32.000
and call your dad,

00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:33.000
if you need to go in

00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:35.000
and do things that

00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:36.000
you've been ignoring,

00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:38.000
what are you doing?

00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:41.000
You don't have time to waste.

00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:42.000
The greatest thing you have

00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:44.000
is your mortality.

00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:46.000
And the finite nature of your life

00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:48.000
is actually what gives it value.

00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:50.000
And it's the same thing with Bitcoin.

00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:51.000
The scarcity of Bitcoin

00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:52.000
is what gives it value.

00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:54.000
You are a scarce resource

00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:56.000
to everyone around you,

00:58:56.000 --> 00:58:57.000
your community, your friends,

00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:58.000
your family, yourself.

00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:00.000
So what are you doing

00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:02.000
if you're squandering that?

00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:04.000
Don't squander

00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:06.000
the great thing that you have,

00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:07.000
your life.

00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:09.000
You know, Bitcoin is a tool

00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:11.000
and it's a great measuring stick,

00:59:11.000 --> 00:59:12.000
but that's all it is.

00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:14.000
Like the value of your life

00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:16.000
is what you can put into

00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:17.000
other people, to your community,

00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:19.000
to yourself.

00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:20.000
That can then be shared

00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:22.000
with the generations beyond you.

00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:23.000
Because if you're doing

00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:24.000
all these wonderful things

00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:26.000
and you're just burying it under a rock,

00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:28.000
it's not valuable.

00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:29.000
So yeah, what are you even doing

00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:33.000
when you're ignoring

00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:34.000
these things that you know

00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:35.000
you need to handle?

00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:37.000
Like go handle them.

00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:38.000
Go add value.

00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:39.000
Go be great

00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:41.000
because you can't be great.

00:59:41.000 --> 00:59:42.000
That's such a good point.

00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:43.000
You know how they say

00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:44.000
there's only two things

00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:45.000
you can count on in life

00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:47.000
and that's death and taxes.

00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.000
Well, there's only two things

00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:52.000
in life that are truly scarce.

00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:55.000
Bitcoin and your time.

00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:58.000
So use your time really well.

00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.000
You only have so much

01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.000
of your life to live.

01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:05.000
So don't be lazy.

01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:07.000
Don't waste time.

01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:09.000
And if you have relationships

01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:10.000
that are broken,

01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:11.000
especially if you need

01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:13.000
to call your parents,

01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:14.000
do that immediately.

01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:15.000
I've had just recently,

01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:17.000
on like a personal note,

01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:19.000
I've had a lot of death,

01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:21.000
a lot of death of family members.

01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:24.000
And what will always happen

01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:25.000
when somebody close to you dies

01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:26.000
is you're like,

01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:27.000
I wish I would have

01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:28.000
just called them one more time.

01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:29.000
I wish I would have

01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:30.000
talked to them recently.

01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:31.000
I wish I would have caught up.

01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:33.000
Like I did not have enough time

01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:34.000
with that person.

01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.000
So take a little inventory

01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:37.000
of your life

01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:39.000
and make those phone calls.

01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:42.000
Do it right now.

01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:43.000
It's a great note.

01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:44.000
Great note to end on.

01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:45.000
Thank you, everybody,

01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:47.000
for kind of jumping in

01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:49.000
and bearing with us this week.

01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:50.000
But I think that was fun.

01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:52.000
I actually liked just kind of like

01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:54.000
trying to be inspiring.

01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:55.000
Yeah.

01:00:55.000 --> 01:00:56.000
It was nice.

01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:57.000
Give a little motivational,

01:00:57.000 --> 01:01:00.000
inspirational speeches

01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:02.000
on what do you even do.

01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:03.000
What are you even doing?

01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:06.000
So cheers, everyone.
