0:00I'm a street phone on the ground. I'm a street phone on the ground. Where's Said? Hey everybody, good morning. Good afternoon, good evening. I hope that everybody had a great weekend. Happy Labor Day, I guess, right? Oh, we're going to talk about the liquid network hack guys. I had a whole other show lined up, but then this started to happen. And of course, yeah, we've got no choice. We got to dive into it. There is a lot of information to cover. So yeah, yeah, the 4,000 Bitcoin hacked from the liquid network guys. Keep in mind, it was actual liquid tokens that were pegged out into BTC. Anyways, on that note, this time, it's actually different.

1:02That's right. What else are we going to take a look at the Bitcoin four month chart? That's right. We're not just going to take a look at the liquid hack. We're also going to take a look at a whole bunch of other stuff that happened over the weekend and some solid freaking hope. You right? Because even though this stuff happened and not too many people use liquid, there's a whole bunch of other really good stuff. And that's what we're actually focused on. Anyways, a median Bitcoin path is projected at 360 pay in 24 months. Send it. And of course, we're going to take a look at the chart today, guys. We just closed out the week. So of course, we got to take a look at that. I made a prediction because I drew some lines. We're going to take a look at that. Bitcoin has gone parabolic four out of four times when this one indicator flash. That's right. There's one indicator. One of the craziest things I've ever seen in Bitcoin 100K by the end of the year. That's right, guys. We did a little pump. That's it. All the numbers are being revised to the moon.

2:03Let's go. Even the 100K is not the moon. It's not the moon. It's more just like a little station here on earth. Yeah. Maybe Bitcoin just began its two to three year bull run. We're going to take a look at a thesis that comes from Jesse. Sorry, a crowcius. I was forgetting his real name. Anyways, clarity act facing major setback. Oh my gosh. Who would have thought? Who would have thought? And the treasure the treasure breach from last week. Because on Friday, I had a. I did an interview. So obviously, still got to talk about the treasure stuff. Because of course, there's always some murky details. Oceans board announces a new director. Becash junior wallet. That's right. The the bips. The blipslop is still around. Spectre DIY. There is a new version out. And as well as well, a really cool little product here.

3:05From Ghost of Maple block watch. All right, guys. Get ready. It is going to be a fricking full episode. OK? It's going to be full. Get ready. Club Underground is sponsored by Archimedes Emporium. Discover the pinnacle of precision engineering. Starting with their Bitcoin logo wall clock, meticulously machined in Maine from a solid block of aerospace grade aluminum, ensuring unparalleled durability and performance. Experience the difference of a product made without compromise. Head on over to Archimedes Emporium. I know, I know, we got to talk about the liquid stuff. But first, first just quickly, quickly, which got to do the numbers and say, good morning, morning, salty crayon, plastic, what is up? No name extra. Good morning. The hacks are not. Apparently, they're just increasing, right? Happy Labor Day, Johnny.

4:06Might as happy Labor Day. Rock. 10 years ago, 100,000 Bitcoin being stolen would have been a big deal. Yeah. Now it takes us 4,000. Yeah. That's right, man. That is exactly right. It's worth so much more in terms of purchasing power. Yeah. Deflation. L.E.O. What is up? I started watching the, I started watching the book of Enoch. I didn't, I've totally forgotten this stuff. This is all like the Samarian mythology, the 12th planet and all that good stuff. That's cool stuff. Anyways, what is it? It did just get returned. Okay, I just, it's funny because I was looking at the, the mempool.space and I saw there was unconfirmed transaction. Oh, right. The hell is that? I don't think I actually clicked anything there. Yeah, there you go. Confirmed balance, 598 Bitcoin. Okay. Anyways, we're still going to go through the whole story, of course, but before we do that,

5:07let's dive into it. Ah, we had exchange rate. 78,889. What happened over the weekend? Oh, what happened? Total, what is it? New all-time high on the block height, 965,952 sats per V-bites. What is that? Total public. Total public lightning capacity, 3,753. 78 iPhones per Bitcoin. And you're still getting 20% of a house, guys. You're still getting 20% of a house. Not bad, okay? Coin was stolen. Any contact from the thieves? Yes, they said they'll give it back. They're giving it back? Once I fix my security and prove it's fixed. So they're helping you? That's not the point they took it first. That's right, guys. That's right. Okay, so all started yesterday, right?

6:07Looks like 4,000 Bitcoin was moved from the liquid network bridge, all at once with an opportune saying, we are White Hats. Contact us on chain. So keep in mind, guys, this was LBTC, right? This is not actual Bitcoin, right? Like essentially what happens is that you move your Bitcoin onto the liquid network. And then they mint these other tokens. And there are, what is it, 15 validators of which 11 of them had to sign. Yeah, so anyways, it's a side chain. Some people call it a level, a layer two, call it whatever you want. It's not Bitcoin. It's a shit coin. But anyways, let's say I know some people don't like to hear that because Samsung now block stream and everybody loves their hope-yum dealers, right? Nobody wants to be mean to the hope-yum dealers. They make the price go up, right? And so, it's apparently, so it appears that the hackers created a valid six-input confidential liquid BTC transaction that registered as a valid 3,998 Bitcoin peg out transaction, which the HSM functionaries then

7:09signed as a valid move of Bitcoin onto the chain. Okay. So for the people who don't know what an HSM is, the HSM functionaries are the specialized devices run by a subset of the liquid federation. When they're saying specialized devices, they're talking about signing devices, right? Like, technically, where is it? Where's my, do it yourself, specter? This is an HSM. So, I love how we all make it sound so fancy, huh? It's just so fancy. We're so, so clever. We're such clever people. Anyways, all right. So, here's the perspective from the liquid network. Well, I shouldn't say as soon as this happened, but several hours later. What we know so far is that the funds were withdrawn via the side swap peg out authorization key. So it sounds like they spoofed this, right? It sounds like they created a fake transaction. Anyways, but the key was not compromised nor were any others. Fun safe, guys.

8:09You funds are safe. It's okay. Nobody uses liquid anyways. That was almost a Freudian slip. I was going to say nobody uses lightning, but that's not true. That's not true at all. Anyways, exchanges have been notified and have already paused or will pause LBTC deposits and withdrawals guys. Keep in mind this was all happening yesterday in real time. Other liquid assets such as USDT, D picks and real world assets. In other words, shit coins that pretend to be linked to things in the real world are unaffected by this security incident. Bridge nodes have been temporarily disabled. So no new transactions can be submitted to the network. Effectively, the liquid side chain is paused. Until the issue was resolved. Yeah, of course it is. Anyways, liquid wallets will be impacted. They were and we're sorry for any inconvenience. I'm sure you are federation members are actively working on resolving this so we can restore normal network activity. Yeah, they did get swiped. They got swapped. Got swiped and swapped. Okay, so from side swap though.

9:11All right, here we go. Block stream has since established that the LBTC in that order was created through a bug in the element software. It's pretty interesting because apparently some people had this patched and some people didn't. It's interesting. So whiz's block explorer apparently did not see the transactions. Whereas blockchain.info's did. Anyways, as block stream stated, side swaps peg out authorization key was not compromised. And nor was any side swap system. Our service had no way to tell those coins from L from any other LBTC. Now look, I'm not I'm not attempting to paint this in a you know, in a negative in an entirely negative light or anything like that. But look, there is something in the corporate world. Okay, it's called getting thrown under the bus. Okay, this is something, right? So there's two these two components. There's CYA, which is cover your ass.

10:12Okay, this is a few for whatever reason haven't learned that yet. Welcome to working. That's what it is. You got to cover your ass. And one of the ways that people cover their asses is they throw businesses and other people under the bus. Look, everybody fits under the bus guys. Just got to figure out who the right person is or the right business. And that's pretty much what happened there. So you're not going to be able to do exactly hard, huh? See, all you have to do is DC to BTC and you were fine. You didn't end up getting stuck in this mess. Oh, they got got but wait, there's more. There's more got got because of course everything gets muddied, right? Here's an interesting perspective from heavily armed clown side swap claims the peg out authorization key used to sign for the So it was not compromised and that it was an elements bug. I assume they are implying a validation flaw in elements, let a spoof transaction look like a valid side swap. Hey, gout. Okay.

11:12So here we go. Samson put together a nice little summary, the discussion between block stream and the white hat hacker regarding the 4,000 Bitcoin from liquid is happening in public. So that's right and we are going to go take a look at that. Yeah, there's some interesting messages going on in opportune. It's interesting. Sometimes it seems like things are coincidence, right? And sometimes it's just like, wow, this is serendipitous. Greg, because when you think of the blip 110 slop and everything and how they wanted to quote unquote, you know, push the opportune code back to 83 bytes and all that stuff. It's so interesting that opportune is what was being used here throughout this whole entire process. What is up, though? What is up? All right. So it seems to be their preference over email, right? They're talking about the opportune as it's hard to follow the chain of messages in opportune. Here's a summary with links. So at 11 30 AM Pacific time, right? This was yesterday guys. We are white hats.

12:12Contact us on chain 1231 PM Pacific block stream. Please contact security at block stream. Right? So this is from block stream, right? So 649 PM from block stream again, encrypted to hackers key PGP signed by security at block stream. Okay. Then at 720 PM sending most back and they let them know what address it was. Now it's interesting, right? So these are supposedly white hat hackers. But yet they're only sending most of it back. Why? Why only most? It's just weird, isn't it? Why wouldn't you just send it all back? Because you didn't want to do this for nothing, right? I want to do this for nothing. So people calling themselves white hats, white hats give it all back. Grey hats. Keep a fee. Sorry, not sorry. That vingo. Or gets right. It's the hacker fee. Good morning, clean your machine. Don't worry. You're not late.

13:12You're not late at all. I haven't even started the whole PM yet. We have to go through this first. So, okay. So, we're not done. There's still more. Block stream. Okay. So sorry. So the white hat hacker. Please fix the bug first. The chain is under risk at latest commit right now. Make sure every node is patched. Then we will transfer the money back safely after confirming the fix. Now, essentially, it's the validators nodes who actually implemented the fix so far. Block stream. Yes. Thank you. PGP signed. Okay. So the status as of 9.12 PM, right? So, we're going to go through this last night. Okay. As of last night, the 3,998 Bitcoin were unmoved and they didn't get any other messages. Right? And you guys can see it here. This is where it was a few minutes ago. Right. Now, Miguel offered a update about this was like what? Maybe 45 minutes ago or something. Round 10. Block stream sent the attacker a step by step how to decrypt in-electrum tutorial.

14:14His reply a fully encrypted PGP message zero plain text this time. He also swept 33 dust UTX. How many UTXOs? 33. It's it's a Mason reference. Anyways, from randoms offering him lawyers and Monero swaps took out the trash before the big transfer. I mean, that is this is just wild. Yeah, dude, what is this man? Do we get a 15% haircut on our liquid funds now? Sandy, this is crazy stuff. And yet it's always the magic number, isn't it? Isn't it so funny? 33 32 23 law of fives, which is interesting because 33 doesn't fit into the law of fives. Interesting. Anyways. Alright, so let's let's continue here. So his reply a fully encrypted PGP message zero plain text this time also swept the 33 dust UTXOs from randoms.

15:17So yeah, the negotiation just went private. I know, right? It's just so. And this is why people talk about this not being, you know, being an inside job. Hold on, I haven't even started to show the the frickin random opportune messages that were and there's just a screen shot of the the opportune. Okay. So now let's go take a look guys. Let's go take a look at this. This fun part here. Okay, so look, this is the address, right? Now we can see pretty much everything has been sent. Well, almost everything. Let's see here. Okay, so here's what's left. 598 Bitcoin confirmed balance. You just kept a little right that they just kept the tip. Who knows what happened there, huh? Now this is the. Look at some of these messages. God bless you for being merciful. Do good in the world with your rewards. Swap to Manero and back and small increments.

16:18What? Here's here's this one keeps coming back over and over again. This is hilarious guys. Bake hack inside job hacker name is Chris Cook block stream CIO. GMax Samson now Adam. We just got another one. Adam where to go. Move that shouldn't move. Anyways, GMax Samson now Adam back. 9G, becazzy, Francis, Pooley, Andrew Plessra knew about this vulnerability since June 2026. Yeah, and it appears that the the fix wasn't entire like it wasn't bully fixed. I saw a conversation going back and forth between blue Matt and obviously right a whole bunch of Bitcoin devs all started to get involved in this trying to figure out what the hell had happened. But yes, somebody is definitely attempting to push the narrative that this was an inside job hold on. We're going to we're going to keep going here because yeah, there's.

17:20There's more more comments in this. This one mean coin white hat pump dot fun. There's a bunch of slop. Here hack is an inside job hacker will not return funds from block stream is covering up a Ponzi scheme. You guys like are people really this that like is everything. So I don't understand something is is everything a conspiracy like is everyone just these absolutely terrible human beings constantly trying to pull one over on everyone else is is that really what it is. Because I got to tell you if that's if that's an individual's view on everything that's happening. You might have paranoid issues like it might actually be a you issue right it might not actually it might not be a problem with something else it might be you. Not everything is a conspiracy not everything is always intelligence agencies not everything is always these things like I know it's fun to believe right it's nice to imagine because look the problem is this right the other side of this the other side of that coin is very simple.

18:34If it's not a conspiracy that means that you as an individual are personally responsible for your successes and failures to a large extent and that is a very scary thought it's much easier to imagine a bogeyman out there right making life harder for everyone else right you're just this innocent victim right this wonderful person is just an innocent victim of these terrible businesses and humans. All the time right. Yeah dude everything is a fucking side up seriously feel it really it's so funny is just so funny. That's right I got plenty of tin foil none of it helps okay anyways alright we're done with the liquid stuff for now if there's another update I'll let you guys know I just wanted to talk about this first that I'm not holding you know holding you hostage and all that stuff now we will continue on to maybe some more fun. Things maybe some more entertaining stuff okay so that's right guys this time it's actually different and look look okay this time it is different actually here where's my chart guys I had a chart and I drew a line okay Alex thorn he's telling us it's different.

19:54Hold on I gotta go back here sorry guys there we go okay. Look I drew lines. Alright so here this is the weekly not the high kin ashes right so I'm not using the high kin ashes these are just the standard candles okay this is good stuff this is absolutely good stuff now I know that some people are like we just need to make a higher high and that's totally fine we just need to see a higher number and then everything is fine I get that I understand that perspective I'm also of the opinion that the higher high the local higher high with with. A proper bounce turning resistance into support that is what sends us to the races okay so I get it right I I'm happy that we saw this too but now we need to see a turn into support okay now look let's just take a look at this in high kin ashes because this is where it gets a lot clearer to me okay this is the weekly charts so look we're coming up into the bottom of the cloud right here okay there is.

20:58There's a good possibility we can break right through that what I like to do though is as you guys know I look at it on the month right look on the month essentially if we're following if we're actually following the momentum and we do this January 1st 2027 looks good. I'm definitely getting a little more bullish and like I told you guys last week this candle formation that we're seeing here right because it's on the high kin ashes this essentially takes out a lot of the noise of the volume and what we're seeing is the the actual volume is at higher price points however okay volume on this is pretty low okay for perspective so the last candle we did last month is 20,000 I get it it's just a little bit more. I get it it's just from one exchange but the reality is is that this is low volume okay anyways doesn't matter just say what it is.

22:00Alright let's continue so yeah I do agree with Alex this time I do think it's different as well it doesn't mean that the patterns don't look similar though right everybody's drawing lines in the sand me too okay super Bitcoin bro let's do it the Bitcoin four month chart is ridiculously bullish I agree sir I agree. A breakout and a perfect retest of the 2021 closing high up trend and the 10 moving average with two fat lower wicks in a row I love fat lower wicks right not just FAT but PHA T lower wicks look at that look at these guys what's fat I like that big fan big fan of the fat wicks if I think you guys will really like this Bitcoin data I did I did and I'm not sure if I can do it. I did I did and this is why I've chosen to use it for the whole if the median VTC path is projected at 360 K and 24 months what the hell could the price be in three years from now don't worry guys I've got an answer what the price of Bitcoin is going to be in three years from now and just get ready because your faces may melt.

23:08P.H.D. economist James Thorntz says Bitcoin fundamentals are only getting stronger I agree with him and I don't have a PhD but that's more about me than him so the worst 180 K path in 24 months the likely path. I think I'll look at that six months what is that 86 K not bad okay December 2026 we're not too far from that that's plausible 12 months 130 18 months 180 and look at that 24 at 359 K I don't even know I think that if you think if you think Bitcoin hotlers are like super annoying now it's going to be a lot of money. I'm going to get way worse when we get to this number I mean I've seen people like I remember when Bitcoin cross 10 K okay it became the it became the like the fuck you and blah blah blah like that shit I win the world like just wait till we get to that number okay it's going to be nuts now that's right I predicted guys I predicted because I found Phil's Phil sees opium to be a little bit more.

24:23Middle of the road so I decided to take it to the extreme and apparently it wasn't bullish enough July 1st 2028 okay guys two years from now a little less than two years the Bitcoin price will hit 9,615,291 and 10 cents because I drew these lines here me out look at these lines guys logarithmic chart I extended it right I did the lines on the bottom to hold up right and then I went peak to peak all the way people were telling me that I was bearish. What is it happening. Nice July 1st 2028 market market okay that's what's happening okay anyways more more hope you from people who sell hope you for a living Bitcoin has gone parabolic 4 or 4 times when the business cycle crosses above zero line you know what I sometimes I can't help but thinking my hope is better than this you know because I mean we've been crying we've been crying

25:36we've been waiting right for the business cycle to save us for I don't know how long. Yeah get in there I don't know the business cycle hope is for me it's very limsy. So it's instant let's do it just want to once again you know you one of the craziest things I've ever seen in Bitcoin that's right guys that's right prediction time here we go February 13th 2013 Bitcoin price was $25 that's going to make you cry guys well some of you predicted I know I'm I'm crying inside I wasn't there in 2013 2013 I was just doing my corporate job I was buying stonks anyways all right Bitcoin was $25 predicted $93,000 for September 4th 2026 right so today we're the seventh September 4th 2026 13 and a half years later Bitcoin hit 80k still 13k off okay I got it so obviously up into the rights but you know don't worry we got a video for this

26:52that coin means there's power law wait a second I thought it was the police power law okay that's pretty just makes up all these different names there you go guys I don't know if that's so crazy I'd be much more impressed if we actually hit the real number in a close arrange like being 13k off that's really like that's something to brag about like you're just wrong in like a smaller way like but you're still wrong I don't know whatever makes people excited let's take it okay here we go Bitcoin archive 100k Bitcoin by end of the year was written on the wall I wonder if the liquid network hack was written on the wall I don't think so but look at this look at this

27:56this is good stuff guys very very good stuff and again like I said we need to turn this range into support the higher highs are nice on the local time on the local timeline but the port means proper base formation and it means that we can then make meaningful moves higher anyways good stuff okay here we go kill a expt Bitcoin bottom formation is complete the next step is a higher low yes the bending target has already been hit all that's left is patience for one last week down I don't know if we get that one last week down though I don't know but look apparently according to the juggling balls the juggling balls say it all right I guess we're looking for that turquoise one that turquoise there's that future higher low okay he's calling it over there you know what I think it'd be ultra bullish if we did the higher low with the purple ball over here the pending one rights to be a lot better there what is it Michael I wonder if the liquid hack was written on the wall I appreciate

29:18that I appreciate that man thank you yeah anyways look the juggling ball hope you always makes me happy I do appreciate the creativity and artistry that goes into these these charts they do make me feel good but dude come on kill expt you want that pending one to become the that that section I don't want this I want this fuchsia crap down here like what is that the six was that 75.5 K okay here we go let's okay now keep in mind he put together like a it's a novel okay so here we go but it's good it's worth it Jesse Crosius let's do it my or sorry Jesse Myers Bitcoin may have just begun a two to three year bull markets I love the I love the mid cycle stuff the 21 to 2026 right it's all just been a giant bull run here's why and what it could mean for the Bitcoin price I already told you guys

30:18nine point six million dollars by July 1st 2028 Bitcoin has decisively popped above the short term hotler cost basis three weeks ago at 64k I said we are at the bottom I noted that the size of jump above the short term hotler cost basis loomed in the coming months and it happened a bit faster than expected number two 2026 bear market has followed a remarkable sorry a remarkably similar pattern to 2022 I've already shown like multiple times that like this is it's similar but you know it's it's like when you throw darts at a dartboard right sure you can be all the way on the outer ring you know we're near that bullseye granted granted you could say hey at least I hit the board I don't know what that does I feel like that's cope either way in 2022 the ratio of Bitcoin price to short term hotler cost basis that's a bottomed in June then drifted back to neutral for seven months as the bear trend lost momentum seven months later January 2023 Bitcoin price jumped

31:23decisively above the short term hotler cost basis hold on a second guys I'm going to I guess there's another message here on the I don't know what it is that these people in their obsession with the pump dot fun stuff like just think about it right like this always becomes an excuse to just shill your shit coin stuff everything everything is just an excuse to shill your shit coin sorry anyways so here we go where was it seven months later in January 2023 Bitcoin price jumped decisively above the short term hotler cost basis yeah okay number three welcome to the new bull market if 2022 bear and 2023 to 2025 both cycle continue to repeat we have just begun a new two and a half year bull market as I pointed out in my prior post the start of a new Bitcoin bull market is not the result of good news arriving this to me is like the whole signal out of this whole thing rather it's primarily a function of the bearish trend running out of steam this is exactly it guys it's not

32:29about the good news and one of the easy ways to identify this especially when you're in a frothy market is that amazing news doesn't move the needle higher it actually keeps things flat and in some cases the good news causes whatever equity or whatever commodity or in this case Bitcoin right whatever we're looking at it actually causes the price of it to go down it's like people are exhausted of good news right that to me is an indicator for fraud well it's the same thing with bad news right essentially the bad news no longer continues to push the price down and if it does push the price down it's like a drop in the bucket it's not enough for it to be significant right so yeah exactly fill the sellers get exhausted what is it Al Salvador would have been fucked if they released Bitcoin back bonds on LBTC dude good call rock

33:31absolutely to a certain extent and you know what I think actually we're going to take a look at some Al Salvador stuff tomorrow it looks like it looks like people are shitting on naive bouquette again you know about his IMF deal and there's a whole bunch of fun around that anyways yeah all right let's continue there's still more all right so right now what's left are three types of portfolios those who don't know enough about Bitcoin to want it those who are happy with their Bitcoin holdings and those too waiting to buy Bitcoin lower I know quite a few of those people guess which group is watching in pain I know which one is in the early bull market this is the dry powder that will bid BTC upwards as bears capitulate and get back in one by one and it's true essentially what happens like this is you know you know when you hear the term hated rallies right like that's what it is it's that people are essentially buying back in in disbelief okay it's like I I this should have gone down and and like

34:36you're so angry and it's like now that's this FOMO and it's your ego and it's like I can't be wrong and I don't want to miss the boat and all of that stuff is bad for profits all of that okay because it's just a bunch of emotionally driven slop so hey good morning Jay so anyways this is just the first stage of a bull market the pendulum of market psychology for Bitcoin has just begun to swing towards the bullish Zina it will take years to go from disbelief now to optimism and to mania can't disagree with that I can't does take approximately right what is it like a thousand days for our bull runs to take place anyways number four his base case expectations with hindsight I think this will be viewed as the start of 26 to 29 bull market I think we will spend 80% of the next two and a half years with Bitcoin price above the short term hozzler cost basis we're gonna take a look at

35:37that chart in a second how high this bull market goes is hard to say the last bull market delivered an eight x return from the bear market low and it also delivered a flat muted top yes 127k was a flat muted top because our previous bull run was 69k if you're going peak to peak sorry not sorry guys I consider it that we got we got kicked in the nuts we got robbed of two bull markets in a row sorry not sorry we were definitely in the 12 stages of opium ACP look man I thought this was going to be a traditional Monday right I didn't realize that that we were going to wake up to freaking 4,000 Bitcoin getting moved and all of a sudden all of us watching an online drama you know right Jay dude I look I think I was robbed on on these bull runs I think the last two bull runs we

36:41were robbed we did we did take 2025 with no lube we were jumping over trees my friends with no jumping trees with no lube all right anyways with hindsight did I already read that stuff yeah all right we already went through this okay but here's the last piece the last bull market delivered 8x and 8x from this bear market okay would be 464k but even at 4x would be 232 this is like copium hopium maybe from now on I'm just gonna show my chart that shows us going to 9 million dollars maybe I'll just do that from now on we don't even need the rest of this we'll just show that I'm kidding anyways there you go there's just these little chart right and there you go we're supposedly not gonna go below this red line and even make out those numbers even if I wanted to those make a difference anyways good stuff okay more guys more hopium that's right Nick

37:41Batia has been he's been putting out the sauce like the last three weeks he's getting excited yeah yeah coin base still unhacked since inception but it still has managed to rug a whole lot of noobs with their shit coins so unhacked yes I still hate them I don't care anyways it's the toshi's coins also unhacked so anyways Bitcoin gold trend watchers that art my people yeah I watch the trend bro but we ain't doing it yet however this does this is very bullish okay we definitely have broken out of the downward momentum we had against gold I'll take it okay we'll take it all right let's dive into some clarity slop so here we go crypto industries clarity act faces major setback

38:44oh my gosh no way the house is cutting its September schedule to just four voting days you know I oftentimes when I was working in in the giant corporation land I I wanted to just kind of cut my my work days down to you know like some weeks I just wanted to work one day a week I didn't get to do that though these guys do is they kind of weird how like these people who really just do the fucking least out of everybody get to make all these rules for themselves like it is gaslighting the political system congress senate all that shit all this stuff and it's not just america it's every fucking country it's all of this this is all just bureaucratic red tape sludge and bullshit okay it's just what it is guys not complaining about it just what it is anyways so leaving the crypto industries biggest remaining legislative

39:51legislative priority with almost no time to clear congress before the midterm elections they're gonna have four days in September and then its election time right October nobody is touching that yeah of course it's yeah I agree man the clarity act will eventually pass the government has absolutely dude I totally agree that it is eventually going to pass but we're still gonna get stuck with sludge and we're still dealing with slop right the only reason that we're getting all of these delays is because the people that really um the people that really need to hold their moat they're not getting the deals they want right the businesses that need to maintain their moats right the jp morgan's all of that stuff they need a little more on the top right a little more than 10% for the big guy sorry j i missed the beginning I caught on x the 4,000 bitcoin uh yeah oh dude uh i mean i guess it's go all the way back to the beginning but at this point the majority of the coins have been returned there's only five what

40:56is it 500 coins that are left now um yeah it's it's the first thing I covered uh because obviously was the you know the biggest story anyways let's continue with this uh clarity slop stuff uh crypto industries long delayed highly anticipated clarity act just ran into another problem oh my god no way else republican leadership has cancelled the chambers planned voting weeks of september 21st of the 28th look at that right before they start getting ready for the elections that's convenient meaning lawmakers will return on september 14th for just four days before leaving washington until after midterm elections with the senate schedule to begin work on its version of the bill on september 15th the chances of clarity reaching president trump's desk before the midterms have become extremely slim how about this okay how about the other side of the coin is

41:57the perception is that it doesn't pass so that all of a sudden there's a surprise in the market does pass okay maybe hey my pleasure j yeah i did like you you'll want to you might want to go back to the beginning because i i did like i did like a whole little video thing and everything uh you know with like the george kastanza videos because of course uh i think it was uh mandal duck that made a another sign felled video but now about the the liquid lightning stuff and then i covered the whole the the the timeline all the way from the beginning with the posts so yeah anyways okay let's continue so clarity guys want want stalled okay the treasure stuff guys the treasure stuff from last week so this was last week guys they received an update from the shipping provider ship monk were deeply which by the way is the shipping provider that was responsible for the initial data breach as well we're deeply saddened to share the news that the recent data breach affects

42:58more customers than originally thought another 67,000 customers from the us who ordered between November 2019 and august 2021 were affected with their full details all affected customers have been emailed directly if you didn't receive an email then you are not affected the entire relationship with ship monk we repeatedly requested and received written assurance confirming the deletion of the data in line with our contract data policy and past communications were very disappointed that despite receiving these confirmations the data was not deleted in their system treasure systems were not compromised and your device is secure but please be alert for fake emails phone calls fraudulent letters and potential risks to physical security so look i worked for a company that dealt with mission critical data right um we're talking mission critical government systems we're talking um you know some of the um you know some of the biggest companies that handled the most secure data that there is you know probably not just

44:01this country but maybe you could even say around the world um you'd be surprised or maybe you wouldn't and how much data is not deleted when a business says they do okay um the reality is is that an outside business has no introspection into another private business okay so essentially like you're just taking their word for it that that really is like in the end it is just a bunch of trust me bro stuff so nobody should be surprised by this um now again you may remember at the beginning i was talking about covering your ass right c y a and um this is a great example of c y a and also everybody fits under the bus a ship monk under the bus you go now again i'm not saying ship monk is a victim of course they're not i'm just saying they fit under the bus

45:07what is it congress works even less than the stock market dude i sorry i have no no love for politicians i've said this in the past uh and this is true of it's not just politicians it's true of monarchies uh and any of these things it is not the noblest people in society that desire to govern over their fellow man okay that is the truth it may get framed as altruism okay it may get framed that oh yes these people are just trying to do what's right for the greater good never underestimate somebody's hidden motives the desire for power the desire for control the desire to make others toil okay you gotta like this is what a human being is just what it is guys what we are okay there's a reason why so many laws are created to keep us civil we are the most avaricious creatures on this planet

46:15i don't know where the hell i was going with that anyways okay auto key put out this great guide obviously the link is in the show notes exactly clean your machine your data is an asset and one of the biggest hoodwinks that's ever been pulled on us is for us to believe that our data is not an asset you know that that's what it is oh dude i had uh i had vora uh sorry i had eric and jesse on the show um and i interviewed them specifically about vora i think it's a very cool product um yeah i just uh i haven't been following it though since i since i spoke to them but i do like eric i think he does great work and jesse also i've had some interesting conversations with them uh specifically jesse about discordianism uh yeah it's it's cool stuff i'll see yeah j um hold on a second maybe maybe i can go find the link to this

47:22and do whatever we want my show do whatever i want i'll put the hold on a second i will go find it i promise live boom there it is okay here you go you got you got you got you got to love how they always want to give all this extra data hopefully it doesn't yay okay so i put it uh it should be in the chat now anyways sorry about that okay so buying a hardware wallet privately he wrote this great article the link is in the show notes how to buy the private hardware wallet privately um i'm obviously not going to go through the entire article it's a very long article all i did was grab the snippets of the most important points keep your home address off the order yes use a p o box or private mailbox

48:27yes pip it to a hotel while traveling you know what i got to tell you i never thought of that one i i did think of yeah you know buying a signing device when i go to a conference hundred percent uh right because you could pay with bitcoin right on the spot or even thirty cash um but yeah ship it to the hotel while traveling that's for congenius uh rork if you could ask it to send me four thousand two we could we could be four thousand bodies yeah anyways uh what else uh buy it at a conference okay now this is this was kind of a weird one use an amazon locker when the manufacturer sells through amazon now look i'm going to tell you straight up i don't care unless you're buying generic hardware right like a random esp 32 board right where it's not specifically a signing device it's just an esp 32 board sure you order that crap off of amazon i don't disagree with that at all i i do that too but i would not order any signing device off of amazon full stop and i do apologize

49:32for any hardware manufacturers that are posting their stuff on amazon uh if you're posting your stuff on amazon and you're posting your stuff on ebay sorry not sorry i just think that that's really ridiculous and would rather just go directly through the manufacture even though there is supply chain risk going directly through the manufacturer at the very least you mitigate that one point of failure right of it going through amazon anyways all right guys the blip one 10 stuff let's dive into it okay i am not saying that you guys should use this or not personally i am not claiming these shit coins um here we go i'm happy to announce bcash junior wallet a bitcoin and not Blake chain coin splitter bcash junior wallet is a self custodial wallet for windows mac os and linux that lets you split your bitcoin and Blake chain coins using Blake chains replay protection sick hash unified you can send the Blake coins to

50:41yourself or directly to an exchange that supports them the Blake side transaction is invalid on bitcoin so your bitcoin stays in place now what's really interesting guys is that this this person who who did this this is funded by open sets right so you know you know how like a lot of times the the blip one 10 people want to pretend that that it's like you know all these enemies and all these these destroyers of bitcoin and all this stuff it's kind of ironic because the people that are you know the people that are making this stuff possible like hey look at that open sets just did this crazy fill send back there it oh man no i'm hanging on to them no acp i'm hanging i how about this if you don't say that i have those coins i'll send you have you just are you just trying to gaslight is this is this what's happening you just trying to lure me in i buy everything directly through cold card man that those guys these poor guys

51:45coin kite not good not good and they're just making themselves look even worse and worse right up yeah i'm not messing with the bipslops either dude i'm not even wasting my time uh things i didn't know when i first decided cold storage don't buy from amazon fortunately caught that the vice a few years ago yes dude it freaks me out i actually know i actually do know somebody who bought a ledger off of ebay yeah they didn't have much coin on it ebay sorry they mean to swear but just freaks me out anyways once the split confirms you can send your bitcoin back to your normal wallet the wallet code has been security reviewed by chat gpt 5.6 sole and kimi k3 yeah there's a little screenshot of it guys like i said i am not

52:49recommending anybody do this i'm just reporting on this because it's out there right to each their own okay so more blipslop so this is right this is where you start getting into the tin foil hat stuff right so look you guys may know the story with rafaz agarie right um essentially he was like the the guy that was in charge of the the mining division of swan and then him and a few other people right i've reported on this already like two three years ago when this thing first happened and essentially they attempted to steal uh all the mining ip they possibly could from swan and start their own thing now since then right he's become the CEO of 21 capital which was the original vehicle for jack mollors where he had uh brought strike into the fold and recently took strike out up back on its own and now rafaz agarie is strictly in charge of 21 capital but this is where it gets

53:54interesting right because ocean um elected him to the board of directors as a as a director right and as we know rafaz the CEO of 21 capital now guys if you don't know this tether essentially owns the majority of 21 cap so and tether is the one if i'm not mistaken who funded who helped fund rafaz mining uh excursion in with swan as well they partnered with tether so you know these stories about how like you know i've talked about this in the past tether plays this game the best right i don't like them i think they're scumbags but they play this game the best and this is once again another situation where tether has another tentacle into something else so yeah you know the people that sit there and cry about bitcoin core and core is captured

54:55and all that stuff maybe you should spend a little more time taking a look at tether and taking a look at who owns tether you ever notice how the tether CEO the actual guy who runs that i'm not talking about polo i'm talking about the guy behind polo never seen he never hear from him you never hear about him you never hear anything watch what this hand is doing so that you don't pay attention to what the other hand is doing you know yeah that is the businessman that is the big bullshit business man smile that's what that is that's what that is what is that i love how jack m is free from CEO figure yeah he still sucks i know right like look you know a lot of people could sit there and again there's another wonderful you know his father was a banker so he is captured right there's no way that he looked at that situation and was like maybe i could change it no of course not the incentives are always to just do evil things yeah i get that whatever but the point is is that whether he's

55:56doing evil things or not i'm not in his head what i can say is that he speaks very passionately and you know what i don't think that that passion is fake it's right rork it is a small club and we are not in it i'm definitely not in it i'll tell you that much all right lately i've been shilling this thing so much i'm not sponsored by them or anything i just always thought this was a cool project do it yourself open source the these guys have never made a lot of fanfare but anyways their version one dot ten dot five is out very cool stuff yeah i don't like that he buys expensive boots that's some commie shit right there imagine like you know what i mean like imagine you care how much somebody else pays for the boots why it's like why would i care what somebody else does like that that to me i'm talking about for stuff like that it's just why

57:00right the people wear whatever they want um anyways but it definitely sent a lot of bitcoins at them over the edge right because of the the empty fake the empty fake apartment and all of a sudden find out he's wearing twelve hundred dollar boots i mean you realize that you walk on your two feet right there should be nothing wrong with high quality footwear right don't worry i don't i don't have twelve hundred dollar boots i mean that that would just break my heart i don't care right hundreds of millions of dollars billions of dollars i don't give a shit none of that's ever worth it oh yeah no jay it's on twitter the the boots was a twitter thing anyways guys yeah if you're interested in open source and you are interested in do it yourself hardware wallets definitely check out sorry do it yourself signing devices we don't want to offend people um you you check out the uh the specter desktop uh sorry the specter d i y's

58:01signing device and there you go got some fixes out of this thing stricter change output verification mixed wallet input warnings restored t rng fails safely there you go it is in the show notes did i ever interview the seed hammer people Chris is is Chris no Chris is C door no i did not interview seed hammer people you think they'd be a good chat or the person would be a good chat i know i follow them though okay anyways maple i did not know maple was freaking uh was was creating stuff and things didn't realize he was making some cool software um and it's interesting because i just installed this uh kaza os on my um on a raspberry pi four which essentially lets you load a whole bunch of apps right and host a bunch of apps anyways some updates to a dashboard

59:06tab completion across 151 rpc methods your node exposes in the updated console improved load times very interesting stuff i did not know what this was here's a screenshot of like all of these metrics that you can pull from your node uh using uh maple hotels uh software sorry ghost of maple okay this thing is called block watch uh a real time bitcoin node dashboard connects directly to your local bitcoin core node via rpc and displays live chain mempool peer and network data in a clean dense desktop interface uses bitcoin cores native zmq for real time block notifications with a 10 second rpc poll that's pretty cool this is very cool stuff now look the the desktop app image this is where i was getting curious maple if you are watching this block watch ships as a self-contained Linux desktop application can i load this thing in in kaza os as an app i'm going to try it anyways

1:00:08and i'll find out if it errors out but i'm just curious because i mean i'll just download this thing and load it and see how it works anyways this is what i love right bitcoin plebs you know to me like i think this is maybe the first or the second time i've ever seen this i didn't quite catch that this is what he's doing but this is what's awesome right plebs just building stuff very cool really cool stuff don't forget to sign the petition guys sign the petition consider donating to free samurai this week i believe it's this week yes this week loren is coming back on the show kionis wife it's gonna join me provide some updates what's been going on where do we go from here if there's anything in the works it's gonna be a great show guys anyways thank you so much for joining me today thank you very much obviously guys the comments fire i appreciate your time and attention i hope you have a great rest of your labor day and yes absolutely pardon samurai free samurai fuck the state
