00:00We have these dollar bills in our pocket, backed by the government, and that's what money is.

00:05The purchasing power of the dollar never goes up. The dollar only goes down.

00:09It's just a question of when will it utterly fail.

00:12We can't be trapped in our bubble of the United States like it'll never happen here.

00:15It could certainly happen here.

00:21No, I'm not Satoshi.

00:24The monies that people are familiar with are regulated and controlled.

00:28Bitcoin is freedom money.

00:29Bitcoin's coming in!

00:30It's a new technology where the power is in the hands of the people.

00:34You want to send money and receive money? This is outside the bank, bro. And it's much better.

00:39Bitcoin is a hyped-up fraud.

00:41The asset itself is creating nothing.

00:43I would short it if there was an easy way to do it.

00:45I think it's a scum ball activity.

00:52Crypto is financing terrorism and human trafficking and drug dealing.

00:56Do criminals use Bitcoin?

01:03Governments do not like Bitcoin. They cannot control it.

01:07We want the Bitcoin. We're going to seize your money.

01:10That freedom is powerful. Governments would be removed from their ability to manipulate currency.

01:16Bitcoin works because the software works. And the software works because there are people maintaining it.

01:22In tomorrow's world, we will tell our children, instead of buy real estate, we'll tell them buy Bitcoin.

01:27Some girls know I need them to ask for some cryptocurrency.

01:30You go to Central America, South America, Africa.

01:34These are markets that see Bitcoin as a necessity.

01:37We've seen countries now adopting Bitcoin as a legal tender. That opens up the whole world.

01:41A lot of Nigerians don't use banks.

01:43I do not have IDs. All those things are required to open a bank account.

01:47Not everyone has, believe it or not, equal access to finances.

01:50I remember being 40 years old and having $200 and that being my entire life savings and thinking to myself,

01:55what is going on?

01:56I am all in Bitcoin. There is no bank account.

01:59It is truly taking on its own life.

02:01Once you have knowledge, what are you going to do with it? How are you going to change?
