[Music]
man historic day today historic day
historic day great day for bitcoiners
and uh of course it looks like it is the
end of the Saga uh but before we jump
into it I do want to give a shout out to
the victims of this law fair uh Peter
McCormack and of course you know the one
the only the legendary hot knut the
Space Cat uh they not only were you know
I I wouldn't consider them Martyrs CU
they they're Victors actually um but uh
you know just like you Ben just by being
a bitcoiner and uh being in a certain
jurisdiction you just kind of get
brought into uh certain things uh you
know Hut just by you know standing up
and saying what was right at the time uh
you know he was he had uh private
detectives going after him going to his
workplace uh trying to dox his his real
identity uh someone in the chat says
don't forget the Cobra lawsuit that's
true as well um and uh yeah and it seems
like it's finally you know this is uh
there is no shadow of a doubt there is
no doubt anymore there is no more uh you
can't say anything anymore at this point
uh the the judge made sure of that so
here is uh the space cat's tweet he said
the judge just ruled From the Bench
Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto
further findings of fraud will come in
the written judgment I want to little
add a little bit of context when he says
fraud there's three judges in three
separate jurisdictions that have called
Craig right and some some people were
nicer some people were more blunt but
they they said that he lied basically a
judge in Florida a judge in the United
Kingdom and a judge in Norway so uh yeah
I mean when you lie and when you forge
and you know I'm not making any you know
conclusions but uh you know this based
on what I've seen and based on what I've
read uh you know that that would be
considered fraud so really interesting
to see really interested to see what the
final uh written judgment is going to be
Michael sailor joined in the celebration
uh he's fully plugged into to the
Bitcoin verse and he says Craig Wright
is not Satoshi and of course uh Jack
dors you know also very very famous uh
you know Bitcoin billionaire uh he just
very cryptic he says W uh for wvc means
win and this is the actual statement
from the judge um so he says I will make
certain declarations which I am
satisfied are useful and are necessary
to do justice between the parties very
strong statement first that Dr Wright is
not the author of the Bitcoin white
paper
second Dr Wright is not the person who
adopted or operated under the pseudonym
Satoshi Nakamoto in the period between
2008 to 2011 third Dr Wright is not the
person who created the Bitcoin system
and fourth he is not the author of the
initial versions of the Bitcoin software
any further relief will be dealt with in
written judgment I will extend time for
filings and any appellant notice until
21 days after the form of ordering
hearing which will be appointed
following the hand down of my written
judgment and I ask the parties to seek
to agree on order giving effect to what
I have just
stated full set done game over it's over
it's done this judge literally did not
leave room for
interpretation yeah so he is Craig
Wright is not SOI
Nakamoto period done over right what
what did he say this is law yeah yeah
welcome to law welcome to law okay can I
share something with you because it's
probably my favorite thing on the
internet that I've seen today uh in
regards to this particular story and I I
just I have to share it because it is it
is so funny um let me just bring up my
screen here for a sec or or the
particular window uh this was shared by
by Mr hoddle um and this is a couple
this is like a a spaces or something of
bsvs reading the
Judgment okay so first of all can you
can I'll play it let me know if you can
hear
this can you hear it I can't hear it I
can't hear it
[Â __Â ] I I I may I may not okay I'm GNA
I'm going to have to uh of I don't want
to like try and troubleshoot in the
middle of this but I I I retweeted this
you're going to have to go and listen to
it but basically it's him reading the
statement from the judge and then
another girl like he's like any does
anybody want to come up and discuss this
and then this girl in the audience is
like I got you I got you Ben I got you
you got me okay hold on I'll I'll uh
I'll I'll bring it up here okay well you
just got to listen to it it's so good
let's check it
out I'm not hearing it now what do you
we what huh yeah
weird really
yeah yeah it's not coming through weird
I wonder if they they must have changed
something on restream where it's not uh
oh we can't play videos now oh my God
but you just played the last one though
I don't know anyways so nonetheless
there's this this point this girl comes
up she's like did he just did he just
pass judgment and and uh the guy's like
yeah and then and then it's literally
there's like 10 to 15 seconds of Silence
from the girl and then just
[Â __Â ] oh my God it's so good it's so good
anyway so if you're if you're looking
around peek over on X and uh and find
that tweet it is it is comedy gold
Absolute Comedy gold it's incredible
welcome to law that's what I got to say
welcome to law anyways I saw someone in
the chat uh mention do we get to hear
Satoshi cluck
yes uh for the
SBS uh so the Bitcoin chicken cluck
every time the price of Bitcoin made an
alltime high which it totally did this
week we hit
73,5 um anyways Okay so the next piece
of news uh and I think this is a lesson
that all bitcoiners uh you know know if
you humble yourself enough uh which is
this idea that everyone eventually bows
down to the king and if you don't you
get absolutely wrecked and uh you know
that includes you know the most powerful
people in the world and one of them
being uh Larry thinkink which is the
which he is the CEO of the largest asset
manager in the world and this is back in
2017 he said IND Bitcoin is a is an
index of money laundering uh of course
Bitcoins incentives do what Bitcoins
incentives do best here's a tweet I came
out with a couple day or uh like in
January I said Wall Street thinks it
will change Bitcoin but it will be
Bitcoin that will change Wall Street and
that's exactly what happens Wall Street
has had a taste of the asset the best
asset the world has ever seen and they
can't get enough of it to the point that
it's taken micro strategy three years to
accumulate
205,000 Bitcoin Black Rock has already
surpassed that and they're holding
223,000 Bitcoin followed by Fidelity at
132,000 so you know think about this
you're going from Bitcoin is an index of
money laundering to like put your money
where your mouth is and for any
bitcoiner that bot before January of
2024 pat yourself on the back because
you front ran Wall Street usually it's
Wall Street Front running Main Street so
uh big win in my opinion anyways what
are your thoughts on this Ben I mean
it's it's pretty wild to see and I like
it doesn't seem like it's going to let
up anytime soon like this is just the
initial like we're we're a few month
when did when did the approval happen it
was in Alin day it was it was the the
half it was the same January 9th yeah of
of uh January 9th of 2024 yeah and and
then the funds officially kicked off
like within days of that so so basically
we're like What two months into this and
we're already like we're
prehab like we have you know notably
past all-time highs a month from having
which is like
historically just hasn't happened
happened
and again this is just like the initial
beginnings of allocations where people
are flowing into this and and this is
not to even mention that there's going
to be all these funds and and and um
again like retirement funds and and and
all of these different things that are
now just starting to look
and and consider adding this to Port
portfolios let alone it being added to
just general funds
um yeah we haven't seen anything yet um
but I will again as always say don't
sell your Bitcoin to Black Rock exactly
if if you're selling a Bitcoin right now
it's definitely going to Black Rock 100%
but there's another element to this
right which is it's not just you know
the traditional ETF and now it's they're
taking a Next Step which is they're
adding it to funds which is really
interesting we had some news coming out
of Canada that a uh a portion of Fidel
it in Canada was adding Bitcoin to a
conservative um uh portfolio alloc
portfolio fund so you know this is like
a quote unquote conservative fund that
has all these different allocations with
all these different assets and they
added one a 1% bit Bitcoin allocation to
that Fund in in in Canada Fidelity
Canada um and then more of the the trend
seems to continue and the reason that
this is so such a big deal is because
because this is the legitimization of
Bitcoin in the eyes of the institutions
right th this is the real deal like once
Black Rock puts their name behind it
once Fidelity puts their name behind it
and what happens when that 1% allocation
starts to outperform the rest of the
portfolio you start to increase that
allocation in the portfolio and then of
course the black hole of with that that
that is Bitcoin starts to just suck suck
everything up so and I know what a lot
of people are thinking like what is this
seio fund right so it's called the
Strategic income opportunity fund uh and
if you read the the description of it
the Black Rock strategic income
opportunities fund is a flexible Bond
strategy that seeks to offer investors
attractive income returns and meaningful
portfolio diversification so do you hear
that it's a flexible Bond strategy I
mean you see where they're putting in
Bitcoin with this and now here's the the
cherry on top the part that I find
absolutely hilarious right
um ESG integration baby that's right
Bitcoin is now ESG
friendly this is how you know we're
winning bro this is bitcoin's incentives
taking over and doing what they do best
yeah it's yeah it's amazing Bitcoin is
eating the world and it will continue to
do so um you know see I see a lot of
people also you know concerned about
this I'm not you
know yeah I'm not I'm not a huge fan of
the suits having Bitcoin I don't mind
the suits
like understanding that bitcoin's
important and and buying it up um but I
I see a lot of worry that like oh this
this could ruin Bitcoin I kind of don't
think so um and I say that from a
perspective of Bitcoin is as we've
always said Bitcoin is from for
enemies people that you don't like are
going to use Bitcoin um everybody's
going to use Bitcoin at some point the
entire planet will be using Bitcoin
whether or not they know it and at first
um but eventually like explicitly I
think the entire planet will be using
Bitcoin and at that point it's kind of
like
well yeah you know just just because
somebody across the street you know even
right now now like just because somebody
I know that I don't like is using
dollars doesn't mean that dollars have
not been a way for me to purchase things
or use them day-to- day like Cashwise
and so the same will be true to uh for
Bitcoin but like to the 10th power
because Bitcoin is is so powerful for so
many people that yeah of course
everybody's gonna be flocking to it and
using it um just don't don't sell your
Bitcoin to people like use it for you
know keep it within your own local
communities and again that's what we're
trying to um what we're trying to do
here in Calgary with our market and
everything like you can sidestep a lot
of stuff by getting on your Bitcoin
standard figuring out how to use it in
your daily life and and then it doesn't
[Â __Â ] matter what Black Rock does
because you're using Bitcoin 100% 100%
and look Bitcoin is the money of enemies
man so you have to be okay with the
suits you have to be okay with basically
anybody using this right yeah um and
that's just that's just how Bitcoin is
right yeah what I'll say one thing about
this that that I think the reason that I
brought it up is we've spent
years of trying to defend the idea of
like you know people saying like oh
criminals are using Bitcoin and we're
like yeah but criminals use [Â __Â ] cash
too so what the hell are you talking
about so by that same string of logic
where like just because bad people are
using Bitcoin doesn't make Bitcoin bad
again I don't think that suits using
Bitcoin to preserve Capital at in any
way is going to ruin it for me and if it
if that is something that's going to
ruin it for me then I'd rather know now
than not but I don't think that's the
case so again I I would apply the same
lesson that we've said always is um
Bitcoin is just a medium through which
many people can accomplish many things
and anybody can use it 100%
100% yeah man and anybody could use it
and that's why it's going to change the
world and it's going to make the world a
much much better place for it and and
look and and if you're against anyone
using it uh you know this is a very
strong statement but I'm going to say it
anyways you're anti-human man you're
anti-human right like everyone should
have the ability the comment sections
aliz horen yes even her aliz horen can
have all the SATs that she needs and she
will eventually be using it oh she'll
come around 100% she probably she
probably owns a little bit of Black Rock
I think yeah
anyways okay so um also again bitcoin's
incentives doing what Bitcoins
incentives do best um and this is huge
news coming out of Arizona so Arizona
Senate considers adding Bitcoin ETF
to the state's retirement portfolio then
I said when politicians regardless of
parties start benefiting from bitcoin's
incentives it's game over we are winning
but I said that and I and I do believe
that Bitcoin is is apolitical and I
don't believe that you know it it it
stands in any you know it doesn't any H
like you know it helps everyone equally
in fact I would say Bitcoin is you know
this great unifier right uh but what's
really interesting though is that when
this came to vote
um it was divided along party lines
right uh which is very strange to me um
so you know it was you know basically
all the Republicans in the Arizona State
Senate voted yes and then the Democrats
voted no um and what's really
interesting also is that I've started to
notice this trend um before I've seen
this before um and and I I'll connect
the dots for you guys and basically it's
just the current Administration um which
is you know part of the democratic party
uh they've been relatively hostile
towards the industry so I mean my
question is right you know if you're a
bitcoiner and you have a you know
Democrat representing you and of course
this isn't black and white there's
Republicans that are anti- Bitcoin
there's Democrats that are pro Bitcoin I
mean I would call you representative and
be like you know like why are you
against this thing because I I don't
like I don't understand what argument
could you say how is you know Bitcoin
bad because you know you you have it on
the local level where they're like
voting against Bitcoin you have
Elizabeth Warren's bill right um and
then on the federal level on the
executive branch I mean look Pierre
Rashard said it best and I'll get to
this in a second it says b
Administration and this is this is on
top of the proposal that they already
proposed a couple months ago and it says
Biden rtion is proposing a 30% tax on
electricity used by Bitcoin miners even
if you're off- grid using your own solar
and wind generation all of the reasons
they provide are pretextual the real
reason is that they want to suppress
Bitcoin and launch a central bank
digital currency right so I mean are we
going to go down that path where one
party is pro
cbdc and another party is anti- cbdc
because I mean look it's already
becoming part of the political discourse
here's Trump who is the leading he's
he's the Republican candidate and he's
using it part of his political rhetoric
tonight I'm also making another promise
to protect Americans from government
tyranny as your president I will never
allow the creation of a central bank
digital currency you know about so I
mean like is that the is
that like that would suck if Bitcoin
becomes partisan because it's not
partisan it's not left vers right it's
not Democrat vers Republican it's not
liberal vers conservative it the real
battle at hand is the party of orange
the party of Bitcoin peace prosperity
opportunity vers the party of green the
party of nihilism slavery
War all the all the negative things so
you know this is I got to say I'm a bit
surprised here um you know with this uh
with this with this Arizona stuff right
and the fact that the the the votes were
so you know partisan like I don't
understand it I don't get it and again
like you know Bitcoin is the most
Equitable equal money the world has ever
seen it protects the lower and middle
classes from the ravages of inflation
right so you would think that you know
the Democratic party would want to
support the lower and middle classes uh
so that to me is very very interesting
yeah I I'm inclined to think
that the people that flock to
bitcoin tend to be the ones
where they are somehow being
disenfranchised or or censored or you
know are at risk of some type of
financial censorship from those those
that are currently in power and so I
think part of the reason you
see
Republicans leaning into it and and kind
of giving it the thumbs up at least at
the current time more so than the
Democratic side of the aisle is because
you have examples like in Canada where
you kind of had like the more
conservative movement um you know that
were part of the trucker protest and
everything and then you had the more
kind of democrat liberal side of the the
movement go and do things like shut down
bank accounts and and in the in the US
um you know censor censor speech on on
Twitter and social media and stuff like
that and so the people that are on the
receiving end of any type of censorship
are going to look for tools that are
censorship
resistant I would not be
surprised if in uh you know
if as that political pendulum swings
back and forth as it tends to do that
you get a more Conservative Republican
base that gains power and all of a
sudden they decide maybe they don't like
Bitcoin as much and then all of a sudden
you see the Democrat liberal side of
things start to warm up to bitcoin I
would agree I would agree with that I
think that's a really good point cuz in
the US you know that you had the
McCarthy era right uh which was the
1950s and 60s and the left was uh uh
persecuted during that during that time
so I agree I think that's a really
really kind of good observation which is
like Bitcoin protects or or or is the
freedom tool of the people who are
currently being oppressed regardless of
you know that side of the aisle right
and I think that's a really really good
point um I just hope though that like
you know again like it bit coin is a
unifier it's not a divider right and I
would hate for this to be like a
dividing issue because you know like
dude like everyone benefits from Bitcoin
like it doesn't benefit one party or the
other you know what I'm saying so you
know I just hope that it just I hope it
I hope I hope this is good you know and
I love the progressive Bitcoin guys cuz
they understand this uh they make that
that content and they f understand this
and I and I hope that they you know I
hope that that picks up steam CU I
really feel like and Jack dorsy said
this as well like Bitcoin will bring the
world together it will not divide the
world and I think what's dividing the
world right now is uh is is Fiat anyways
um so a little bit of an update on the
you know the cbdc kind of movement um
around the world right and uh I'm going
to start with uh the Bitcoin senator
Senator Cynthia lumus and uh she's
asking Jerome Powell uh let me know if
you can hear the audio Ben um uh about
uh whether you know the Federal Reserve
could introduce a cbdc without
Congressional approval you Mr chairman
uh welcome uh it's nice to see you Mr
poell um my first question is about uh
uh cbc's there's been some chatter
lately on the U social media uh that
people are concerned about
uh the FED creating a cdbc without uh
legislative authorization you and I have
discussed that before um and as you know
there there are other means other than a
cdbc that uh could use digital assets to
create a secure and instant payment
system other than a cdbc um so the
question is this do you still agree that
the Federal Reserve cannot introduce a
US Central Bank digital currency without
Congressional authorization yes I do
thank you that's just that's really
calms people's fears the people who are
concerned that we could end up with
something like the digital Yuan that is
used as a means of surveillance so I
think that that will calm some of those
discussions down thank you so much so
okay so you okay that the head of the
FED is basically saying no they can't do
it without Congressional approval on a
state level uh Florida passed a law that
basically said they outlawed cbdcs on
the state level um but again don't pay
attention to what they say pay attention
to what they do here is representative
Tom em
and he says if you don't think the FED
is pursuing a cbdc think again the FED
gave this to my staff during a
presentation earlier this Congress they
view a cbdc as one of their key duties
key duties of the FED payment system
currency check collection automatic
Clearing House wholesale payments Fiscal
Agent of the US government fed now
Central Bank digital currency so I mean
why
the why the the double
speak I don't understand right like why
why are you saying this and whatever and
and I truly believe it's because I don't
think people would be okay with it yeah
and and the and the issue that I have
with it really is again like they're not
really being transparent about it and
this is where you know I read this
before but this is where uh Pierre's
point is so spoton where he says b
Administration is opposing a 30% tax on
electricity used by Bitcoin miners even
if you're off- grid using your own solar
and wind generation all of the reasons
they provide are pretextual the real
reason is they want to suppress Bitcoin
and launch a
cbdc even though the American public
doesn't agree with this and what's even
crazier is and I I to read you kind of
like the the pretext here of this no BS
Bitcoin article uh US President Joe
Biden unveiled his fiscal year 2025
budget proposal which includes a Bitcoin
mining ex excise tax to quote reduce
mining activity so there's literally
they they want to introduce attacks to
reduce mining not like for whatever
reason but like just with the sole
purpose of trying to you know stop
mining operations essentially so I mean
like they're saying one thing they're
saying no we can't do this without
Congressional approval uh know the CBC
we're just kind of looking into it but
then I mean you see the paper from Tom
Emer I think this is point blank you
know and of course he's a politician but
if you are to believe him and he is the
GOP majority whip uh you know these are
fed officials Federal Reserve people
that are giving him this presentation at
the very bottom it literally says
Central Bank digital currency so do I
think this this and this are not
connected
I mean I don't know man yeah it's it's a
little wild I I I mean they're going to
do everything that they can to to to
roll out and have more control at all
times because that's that's the only
Power they have um that the amount of
spending that they're doing cannot
be cannot be rolled back you know that
that debt is never going to be paid back
I mean he they just announced that their
intended the deficit in 2025 is going to
be something like $7.6
trillion and this year is already
supposed to be six point something which
is above what was spent like during the
during the crisis uh like a few years
ago um you know like it we're spending
like there's a an an international
crisis and there's not it's just like
regular run-of-the-mill spending now is
is the expected and so yeah I see in the
in the comments here Phil C saying every
hundred days one trillion yeah I mean
like it's they're spending like no
tomorrow and there may not be a tomorrow
if they keep spending like this and it's
just yeah how how how do you rein that
in how do you people keep people from
fleeing the the currency and I mean it's
you you get them onto a system where
they you you have full control over
their incentives where like if you spend
it on one thing we're going to uh reward
you with with more more points dollars
will Stephanie Kelton may get the last
word because uh because her mmt quackery
is going to make a lot of sense when
it's basically a point-based system on
your on your behaviors it is a game it
is a point-based game when when you get
the cbdcs coming in but uh but yeah like
that's that's that's how they control
people's behaviors that's how you you
get
absolute in insane control over people's
day-to-day lives and their spending
habits and where you can allocate money
like it's it's what they have now but
taken to the extreme and so of course
they they want to prevent people from
jumping ship and like the the 30% tax on
especially off grid that's insane that's
insane you're using your own like
Renewable Power and they're like listen
you know we see that you're using uh you
know uh some Hydro there uh totally off
grid on your own land um you're going to
need to pay a 30% tax for that it it
appears that you're taking that
renewable energy and pumping it into an
electric device that we don't agree with
like it's crazy like okay what if it
were toasters yeah they wouldn't care
yeah they wouldn't care they care
because it's a threat it's exactly what
you said that's what it's all about you
know I just I just wish they were
upfront about it they can't be up front
about it though because I don't think
people would be okay with that I don't
think people would be okay with it at
all and at the end of the day what if if
that ever P I'm I have my doubts that
this would get through no way this goes
through right now with the current uh
the house is divided and all that yeah
yeah but like in an instance where it
did what happens the all all the hash
just moves China 2.0 China ban 2.0 dude
so yeah exactly yeah yeah this is just
it's just it's just nuts any anyways uh
this is kind of like I would say the csw
is the highlight of the week but this is
just absolutely hilarious uh the series
of events Michael sailor continues his
massive speculative attack on the dollar
I wish I had a Fortune 500 company to
leverage because he literally found the
infinite money cheat codes but to real
life this is absolute Insanity okay okay
and I'll expl I'll break it down for you
guys so micro strategy completes a $800
million offering of convertible notes at
0.625% coupon and
42.5% conversion premium the interest
rate is absolutely minimal to those
convertible notes they're due in 2030
okay and he got $800 million for them
you know what he did he bought Bitcoin
and then he went on mainstream media and
this is what he said
oh wait we don't have it yet what sorry
sorry let's let's do that again okay so
then he went on mainstream media and
this is what he said Real Estate because
they expect because they want to sell it
eventually Michael I mean let's be
honest most of the people who are yes
sure some people pass it on to their
children but like most of the people who
are buying assets at some point want to
sell the assets at a profit so I let me
let me say it a different way people
that use fiat currency as a store of
value there's a name for them we call
them
poor okay so then he said that all right
and then the next day he did
[Music]
[Laughter]
this he literally did the same thing and
then if you guys still don't understand
here's our boy uh the Bitcoin therapist
great content on Twitter I might add and
he said sailor found the infinite money
glitch the infinite Bitcoin Loop Bitcoin
micro strategy debt Bitcoin okay so he
literally buys Bitcoin the micro
strategy stock goes up he's able to
borrow against it uses that money that
he borrowed to buy more Bitcoin
therefore when the price of Bitcoin goes
up he goes up and then he borrows
against it and buys more Bitcoin this is
he's specula he's attacking the dollar
and here's our boy Nick c m head of news
at Bitcoin magazine I think he says it
best sailor raised 800 milon to buy more
Bitcoin two days ago went on Yahoo
finance and called people who Sav in
Fiat poor and now he's raising another 5
million to buy more Bitcoin what a
legend that was the highlight of the
week for me that in csw that's a great
tweet that's a great tweet Nick is at
the top of his game with that one I
think yeah 100% so yeah someone's saying
it's it's like how could you not love
bit how could you not love sailor like
dude like he he hacked the system dude I
didn't know there was an infinite money
glitch cheat code in real life you know
did you okay did you see somebody took
that clip and turned it into like oh the
the the remix it's so good remix oh it's
so good somebody tweeted out they're
like this shouldn't be good but it is
it's so good it's so good this sick beat
and just like a remix of we call them
poor dude it's so good it's so good oh
man all right it seems like we're
getting to the top of the hour before I
go Ben is it cool if I uh if I show my
merch a little bit Yeah man do it do it
okay and I got to I got to freaking
order some uh uh no I'm gonna I'm gonna
bring some to you don't don't order some
dude I got you you're gonna come come
bring it to Calgary I'll bring I'll
bring you some goodies I'll bring you
some goodies anyways guys if you want to
support the simply Bitcoin Channel help
us stay independent we just D we just
dropped a new collection we teamed up
with Bitcoin artist asanoa I always I
don't know if I pronounce that correctly
but he's absolutely awes awesome he's
incredibly talented we have different
merch we have the peaceful uh we have
the peaceful Revolution we have the
golden Bitcoin we have the golden
Snapback the golden Bitcoin dad hat and
then of course as requested we have
ladies merch as well you can find this
at simply bitcoin.com anyways guys that
was your simply sessions Ben always an
honor I'll see you next week peace out
everybody later man good to have you
awesome and everybody stick around
because we're going to uh finish up with
a few quick Tech updates that I want to
fill you guys in on bring up my screen
here really quick uh so first I just
wanted to uh make a note again Zeus
constant updates coming out from them uh
and this one is particularly cool so
it's
0.8.2 uh what does it do now so zero
confirmation LSP support for L &d
connections what the hell does that mean
well basically uh as they St in the
quote here users of platforms like
umbrell start n and uh voltage raspy
Blitz basically if you run your own
lightning node you now have the option
to use Zeus's lightning service provider
uh to get connected to the lightning
Network removing the need to manually
open up channels on your own so
basically you can defer to voltage
connect it like use the app and
everything and just it's like hit a few
buttons and be like yo I don't want to
deal with channels can you just do that
but it's your own not
and then you have access to it on mobile
that's super awesome it also has point
of sale you can print receipts all that
cool stuff lots of different currency
fiat currency conversions so you can
price things and use it as a point of
sale terminal uh super awesome so
anyways really cool to see these
developments I like the idea that you
can still be running your own node but
then have a lightning service provider
that kind of automates everything for
you uh so I I like the direction this is
going because it keeps that ability to
be self- Sovereign um but defer certain
tasks to a service provider so you still
own the channels you still own the node
you still own everything um but they are
in have a task of saying oh geez this
guy needs more liquidity let's get
another Channel going so that's super
awesome uh up next block so Jack dorsy
block they've started shipping the bit
bit key wallet so you get this like
little brick thing this little uh Stone
uh it has a fingerprint reader it is NFC
enabled and it's basically the the
newest uh Hardware option to hit the
market uh bitkey wallet is officially
out of pre-orders and is now shipping to
your doorstep uh as the team continues
to build a better safer way to self-
custody we'd love to hear your thoughts
and feedback since launching pre-orders
in December the bit key team has been
hard at work building additional
features while putting the final touches
on the bit key app available for
download on Apple and Google um so yeah
uh a few new things they added even if
customers Lo lose both their phone and
their bit Hardware simple recovery tools
like trusted contacts allow customers to
safely recover their funds by relying on
people they know to help verify the
recovery request um additional features
like emergency access provide customers
with a guaranteed way to re uh retain
control of their funds even if the bit
key app and the bit key team were to
disappear and and uh through our Global
Partnerships with cash app and a company
that I prefer not to say their name
because let's not give them any more
business uh customers can now easily
safely transfer and buy Bitcoin using
our partners platforms directly within
the big key app so uh I have one of
these on the way I will be doing a video
on it when it arrives very interested to
see how it works
and I don't know learn more about it my
understanding is it's basically like a
multisig setup but has um like a
spending wallet option as well like
thresholds where uh block will Auto sign
with their key and your phone key for a
certain threshold but if you want to
spend above that then you use the the
actual device as well so yeah very very
interesting we'll see uh when it arrives
also interesting on the hardware front
these guys were in
madira uh they're called portal and uh
they've got a a device called the 22 and
it is a hardware device um that is
natively NFC and uh so I didn't really
get to see a lot of presentations I was
I was super busy running around um but I
I was privy to the fact they were doing
it but now that I've looked into a
little bit it looks kind of cool so um
basically their mission is to build
hardware for Bitcoin is starting with a
completely new mobile native Hardware
called portal uh why yet another
Hardware wallet because we think none of
the existing ones are both safe and easy
to use with smartphones so we've made
our own portal is built around NFC
not only to talk to the phone but also
to power itself no cables no batteries
Just Wireless magic we spend a lot of
time simplifying the ux there's no menus
to navigate as a user you are just
showing each transaction output and you
sign it by holding the button for a
couple of seconds everything is open
source firmware completely written in
Rust and based on bitcoin devkit uh this
allows us to support single Sig multisig
and complex descriptors very easily
Hardware has been designed from scratch
uh we're also releasing an SDK to help
existing wallets integrate our service
we prefer to remain focused on our
hardware and let other teams develop
awesome software I mean there's a lot of
things here that are sounding very good
to me um the idea that you can have a
native NFC device no need to power it
use it with mobile and uh you actually
you know with with NFC devices you you
know some of the tradeoffs have
typically been like well you have to try
the software that you're running um and
and you don't have a screen on on the
NFC device like a card this has a screen
so you can actually verify on the device
which should be kind of your beacon of
of truth that what you're seeing on your
phone coincides with what's on the
device itself so pretty cool I also have
one of these on the way I'll be doing a
video on it as well so keep your eyes
open for that uh shout out to bisque
been a while since I played around with
bisque but it looked looks like going to
be playing around with it again soon bis
2 just had a test release they've got an
entirely new interface it looks pretty
nice um so bis 2 introduces a range of
trade protocols each with its unique
advantages and trade-offs the diversity
uh um this diversity empowers users to
select protocols aligning with their
preferences considering factors such as
convenience security minor cost Trader
fees privacy and available support uh so
they prioritize maintaining data privacy
through robust measures it upholds user
data privacy similar to bis one by
eliminating registration uh tour hidden
Services avoiding Central Services all
that kind of stuff um it allows for
multiple identities so you don't have to
have like a single account you can have
multiple ones uh they also at when it
first launches it's going to support
only one trading protocol called bisque
easy it's designed for new Bitcoin users
who have not yet purchased Bitcoin and
therefore cannot use bis one due to
requirements for a security deposit a
lot of effort was put into making this
as um as simple to use as possible so I
think that's pretty great like one of
the main things with the original bisque
was you had to like add Bitcoin first to
have it in a bit of an escrow in case
you tried to screw around so the fact
that they've worked on getting Bisk so
that you don't have to utilize that as a
newcomer you might be able to just
onboard directly to no kyc through them
so that's awesome I'll be playing around
with that as it gets into production
with main net and everything but that
could be a little bit of time here uh
and also in the realm of no kyc mro this
is uh m. Network and relatively new I've
talked about it a few times but no kyc
peer-to-peer lightning exchange on top
of Noster and so they've got it kind of
got the testing up right now and when
you go to it and I believe I'm already
no I'm not logged in with my uh my uh
nsec yet but basically if you got Noster
you can log in here and right now
they're just doing small amounts but you
can basically set up sell and buy orders
and you can start purchasing Bitcoin
peer-to-peer on top of Noster which
again just to kind of keep it censorship
resistant super awesome anyways so I'll
be playing around with that I'm going to
do some testing it's very early days for
it so again um you know I I probably
won't yet do a tutorial until it's a bit
more robust but really cool um in terms
of like the kind of centralized signup
exchanges um there's still a lot of good
work being done here Rel launches
lightning for over a 100,000 of its
European users uh so they are partnering
with Bloom and Breeze aiming to ensure
seamless integration and optimal user
experience they use green light Cloud
nodes and SD Bree's SDK lightning
service provider providers to enable R
to offer lightning benefits while
maintaining non-custodial control over
users funds so basically it's an
exchange and you can immediately get
non-custodial lightning from it so kudos
to them for Rolling that out um couple
more things here uh in terms of
non-custodial ways of swapping between
things uh if you're familiar with bolts
I've covered it before it's a way to
swap between lightning and liquid and
it's actually what's used on the back
end of aqua wallet which is another cool
thing I encourage you to try check out
the tutorial uh but now they have um
non-custodial swaps between lightning
and onchain or sorry not lightning they
already had lightning and onchain
Bitcoin but lightning uh or sorry liquid
and onchain Bitcoin so you can do swaps
via that so you can go from onchain to
liquid or liquid to onchain Via bolts
and
so my anticipation at is that this is
going to be baked into wallets as well
um which is super useful for me because
I actually use Liquid quite a bit um as
my uh we'll say like my monthly float so
whenever I'm receiving Bitcoin I try to
get into liquid as like a medium ground
so that I can then decide what to do
from there in case of fee spikes so uh I
kind of work within liquid I can pay my
bills and stuff through bull Bitcoin in
Canada with that so that's super helpful
um and you know fees are low enough on
liquid where I I don't need to worry
about onchain fees whatsoever at the
current time uh but then for my daily
spending wallets I can just swap it over
and send it to either Aqua or send it to
Phoenix and then if I want to it's the
end of the month there's leftovers and
it's going to go to savings I can swap
it back to onchain or Peg out back to
onchain and get it into my Hardware so
that's kind of what I've been using a
lot so it's nice to see that there's
just going to be this quick auto swap
functionality with bolts and that can be
baked in natively just to a wallet that
you're already using and you don't have
to think about it as much so that's
super cool very happy with that I'm
thinking now and that would basically be
me being able to use aqua and I'd be
able to receive lightning onchain or
liquid and have them as a single unified
balance and I'd also be able to send to
onchain liquid or lightning and my
wallet would just interpret wherever the
hell I want it to go and figure it out
and just do it for me so that's kind of
cool anyways I'm I'm excited to see it
happen um yeah look forward to the bolts
guys are killing it they've been really
really busy so good for them uh couple
last things I did a new tutorial I got
the treasure safe 3 I've had it for a
while but I finally got around to doing
a tutorial on it too long didn't watch
uh is that um one it's the Bitcoin only
Edition so uh it's shipped natively with
the Bitcoin only firm firware uh which
is nice obviously open source uh works
works well you know does it's I is same
functionality as the other treasur the
one additional thing that I think is
important with this one is they added a
secure element that was one of the big
trade-offs with using treaser prior was
without a secure element you don't have
a chip that secures your seed phrase and
so with physical access and some knowhow
somebody would be able to take the
device and extract your keys from
no longer the case when it comes to the
treasure saves 3 so that's a nice kind
of step forward for them so um I thought
it was pretty good feel free to Che out
check out the tutorial and uh let me
