Again, that's crypto news alerts .net and welcome everyone just joining us. This is podcast episode number 1410. I'm your host JV and today is September 23rd, 2023. So welcome to another sat stacking Saturday. Let's kick it off with our market watch as we do here each and every day, seven days a week. We can see Bitcoin back in the green trading above 26 .6 and we also have ether back in the green trading at roughly $1 ,600. The market cap is sitting at 1 .06 trillion with roughly 17 billion in volume. In the past 24 hours, we've got Bitcoin dominance at 49 .1 % and the ether dominance at 18 .2 % as Bitcoin continues outpacing Ethereum and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, we've got theta lead in the pack up 7 % trading just under 64 cents followed by rocket pool up 4 % trading at $21 .63, followed by chain link up 4 % trading at $7 .18 and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week, we have WeMix leading this pack up 15%. We have PLS up 8 .2 % and XRD up 11, I mean 7 .4 % and checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated a 47, which is neutral. Yesterday was a 43 in fear, last week also a 43 and last month a 41 in fear. So there you have it. How many of you have been stacking M -Sats and taking advantage of the recent dip in dollar cost averaging? Let me know. And how many of you are anticipating Bitcoin price action to maybe dip a little further south before packing some new positions? Let me know how you feel with the current status. And also just quick reminder, we're almost at the end of September historically, September is the worst month out of the entire year for the Bitcoin price action, but it's always followed by up tober, which is historically one of the most bullish months for Bitcoin. So we only have another week until we get out of September. So we'll see how this is likely to play out. Let's break down today's Bitcoin technical analysis. Bitcoin failed to reclaim 27 ,000, though we came close. It stalled at 26 ,500 as of right now. Meanwhile, the altcoins are in no better shape with minor losses coming from most of the larger cap ones. With Chainlink, the only one with a notable price increase. So last week was expectedly less volatile, aside from the brief spike on Saturday that pushed Bitcoin then to the multi -day peak of 26 ,400. But after failing to continue upwards, Bitcoin retraced at 26 ,000 and spent the rest of the weekend there. Then Monday didn't start all that positively either, but finished the way. Bitcoin went on the offensive and soared above 27 ,000 for the first time in weeks, but then shortly dumped after. But the bulls kept the pressure on and pushed Bitcoin to a new 20 -day peak at 27 ,500 on Tuesday. The next few days were rather calm with Bitcoin maintaining 27 G's, even after the US Fed's decision to stop raising the interest rates. Yet Bitcoin's momentum disappeared by Friday as it fell to 26 ,400. It even tried to bounce off the end of the day, but failed and currently stands at 26 ,500. Its market cap is south of 520 billion, while its dominance over the alts still just inches shy of 49%. So there you have it. And as we mentioned a little earlier, the altcoins, a lot of them are also in the red with the exception of Chainlink, which seems to be outpacing the rest of the major alts. Now for a prediction from Titan of Crypto, here's what he shared on X. Bitcoin 48 ,700 before the halving rocket ship to the moon. You might want to bookmark this one. Fam, never in history the halving occurred without Bitcoin reaching the 78 .6 % Fibonacci retracement level. So first off, first cycle price reached this four months before the halving, and the second cycle it was two months before, and then on the third cycle it was 12 months before. The next halving is now roughly six months away. Bitcoin might reach the 78 .6 % Fibonacci level within this period as it currently lies at 48 ,700, but the million dollar question remains, will this time be different? So as we enter this fourth halving, let me know where you feel the Bitcoin price action is likely to hit before we have liftoff. I mean, obviously that would be a bullish scenario setting us up for a perfect price discovery in 2024 post halving. So I cannot wait. I hope the analyst is right. And if you didn't know, it was exactly six years ago. China tried and failed to ban Bitcoin for the second time because guess what? You can't ban Bitcoin. You can try. Good luck with that. And ever since the price action on the King Crypto is up 600 % and the mining hash rate continues to hit all time highs. And as you know, hash rate is a good indicator for the strength of the network, meaning the market cap is just north of only $500 billion. And as Max points out here, referring to Bukele, he has restored the human rights of 7 million Salvadorans that have been taken away by murderous runts. The British and American state, a 93 % approval rating tells the story, the most popular leader in the world. And now Bukele Nomics is being copied around the world as a blueprint for freedom and justice. Massive shout out to Najib Bukele and the people of El Salvador. Which country do you feel is likely to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender next? Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments below. I feel it's going to be another Latin American country. I'd say a great candidate for that is Argentina, which has hundreds of millions of people. We have Javier Malay, the pro presidential candidate. There is a 70 % chance plus that he is elected as the president. And we already know the likelihood he could make Bitcoin a legal tender, especially being orange -pilled by Max Keiser, who is the senior Bitcoin advisor for President Bukele. As Max has already announced, he can't wait to touch down in Buenos Aires to orange pill Javier Malay. Then we also have Mexico. We have people like Ricardo Salinas, the third richest man in Mexico, very pro Bitcoin, claiming Bitcoin has been his best investment ever because, again, Max orange -pilled him back in 2014. Then we have Brazil and so many other countries that make Bitcoin a potential to become legal tender. And we all know that's going to be a game changer. And that's just another catalyst on top of the Bitcoin halving scheduled in six months in 2024, plus the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States. So can you say fireworks lays ahead? Let's go. Now let's discuss the latest more bullish news, meaning Mt. Gox is going to be delaying these payments, which means no crypto is going to be dumped onto the open market anytime soon, which again is good for the hodlers. Check it out. Now we got Nobuaki, the Mt. Gox trustee in charge of the funds owed to the exchange creditors, updated the public on September 21st, two days ago, according to the trustee, because of the lengthy discussions with specific payment providers, he could not make the October 31st deadline. That was the initial deadline, fam. And because of this reason, the repayments will start next year. And so they say, quitting him here. Therefore, with the permission of the Tokyo district court, the rehabilitation trustee changed the deadline of the base repayment, the early lump sum repayment and the intermediate repayment from October 31st, 2023 Japan time to October 31st, 2024 Japan time, respectively. By the letter of the Kobashi details, the Mt. Gox creditors waited nine years for payments. Good Lord. Currently, they're owed one hundred and forty one thousand six hundred and eighty six BTC plus one hundred and forty two thousand eight hundred and forty six Bitcoin cash and sixty nine is that billion yen. Good Lord. I'd love to know what that equates to in dollars anyways, though the delay has been extended. The creditors who have completed their claims might receive the payment by year's end, quoting them again. Rehabilitation creditors who have provided the necessary info to the rehabilitation trustee will see the payments made in a sequence as early as the end of this year, according to the letter. However, this schedule could change. Kobashi also said that due to the high volume of inquiries regarding the process, the rehabilitation team might not respond promptly. Well, that doesn't sound so promising, but I guess it's a good sign that most of this cash is not going to be dumped off any time soon, as there's a lot of FUD that's always circulating. The Mt. Gox, you know, sell off is going to crash the entire market. I think that is very unlikely and is nothing more than FUD. And again, we're gearing up for the most bullish sentiment in the four year cyclical cycle amongst us in twenty twenty four. So versus being in fear, I would be very optimistic about what's to come for the king crypto and the crypto market as a whole. But what are your thoughts, fam? Let me know in the comments right down below. Now let's discuss the largest crypto exchange in the United States. Clearly, it is Coinbase. The CEO is Brian Armstrong. But did you know, according to this latest report, they currently control and own over five percent of the Bitcoin in circulation. That's pretty hefty. And let's break this one down. And how many of you have used the Coinbase crypto exchange before? Let me know in the comments below. Here we go. Blockchain intelligence platform ARKAM recently identified the crypto exchange Coinbase holds almost one million Bitcoin in its wallets like, whoa, the coins are worth more than twenty five billion dollars at the current prices. Now, according to ARKAM, the exchanges holdings amount to almost five percent of all the existing Bitcoin. ARKAM said Coinbase holds a total of nine hundred forty seven thousand seven hundred and fifty five BTC. And at the moment, Bitcoin circulating supply is around nineteen million four hundred ninety three thousand five hundred thirty seven, according to coin info on CoinGecko. And as ARKAM shared here on X, ARKAM now identified twenty five billion of Bitcoin's Coinbase reserves with one million, approximately Bitcoin on chain. This makes Coinbase the largest Bitcoin entity in the world on ARKAM, with almost five percent of all the Bitcoin in existence, almost as much as Satoshi Nakamoto. Crazy, right? Furthermore, ARKAM noted that it has tagged and identified thirty six million Bitcoin deposits and holding addresses used by the exchange. And according to ARKAM, Coinbase's largest cold wallet holds around ten thousand BTC. And based on the exchanges financial reports, the intelligence company believes that Coinbase has more Bitcoin than are yet labeled and could not be identified. And while Coinbase holds over twenty five billion worth of Bitcoin in its wallets, the exchange only owns around ten thousand of all the Bitcoin in which it holds, which is roughly two hundred million dollars, according to the recent data. Meanwhile, community members express varying reactions to the news about the amount of Bitcoin on the centralized exchange in which they hold. Some believe it's a sign to withdraw their Bitcoin from the exchanges, warning hodlers not to wait until the exchanges start to halt withdrawals. Others say that since there are legitimate concerns over cold wallets, there is no good way to store your assets. I'd like to chime in real quick. Obviously, if it's not your keys, it's not your coins. So while a custodian such as Coinbase can hold your crypto, you've got to also note that it's not yours. So if something were to happen, hypothetically, like we've seen with FTX and the collapse last year, then not your keys, not your coins, they don't belong to you at the end of the day. So you've got to start to weigh the risk reward with having a custodian such as Coinbase or a centralized exchange hold your coins versus taking the responsibility for yourself and learning how to self custody your own crypto and call storage such as with a Bitcoin cold wallet, such as a treasure. So I just wanted to point that out. There's no right or wrong way to hold your crypto. You've got to do what's in your best interest, of course. So, you know, I mean, just want to keep it real at the end of the day. So check it when it comes to Bitcoin ownership by companies, business intelligence for MicroStrategy still owns most Bitcoin. I believe it's over one hundred and fifty two thousand eight hundred BTC, to be exact, worth over four billion dollars at the time of this recording, making them the largest publicly traded company to have Bitcoin on their balance sheet. Now, another major company that controls over six hundred thousand BTC is Grayscale in their GBTC product, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which they just recently had a lawsuit against the SEC with the plan to convert their trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF. So considering they already control the underlying asset in the sum of over six hundred thousand BTC makes them a pretty strong contender. Wouldn't you agree? Let me know your thoughts, fam. And now let's break down our next story of the day and discuss the Bitcoin price likely to catapult along with the altcoin to coin to SkyBridge Capital, Anthony Scaramucci. Let's break this down. Shout out to the Mooch, SkyBridge Capital founder Scaramucci is detailing how one catalyst could have a bullish impact on Bitcoin, as well as the alt. In an interview with the Wolf of Wall Street, Scott Melker Scaramucci says that a spot Bitcoin ETF could be approved in the first quarter of twenty twenty four, which seems to be a ninety five percent likelihood, according to top ETF analyst at Bloomberg, Eric Balchunes. So according to SkyBridge Capital founder, the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF and the Bitcoin halving, which is expected to occur in April of twenty twenty four, could combine to ignite a crypto bull market. No, it's not. It could combine. It will combine. Just saying. Quitting him here as Wall Street or products on Wall Street are sold, they are not bought. And so there is going to be tens of thousands, if not one hundred thousand plus people at these Wall Street firms selling these products to their traditional investors. So people that are in Bitcoin understand the finite supply of Bitcoin, right? We all know there's a finite limited supply, 21 million, and they understand the nature and the quality the Bitcoin has. This will push Bitcoin up. Of course, it will have a dramatically positive effect on the altcoin market because it will lead to more capital into digital properties so people can think whatever they want. They can think short term about the near term volatility of Bitcoin. But these macro positive factors are overwhelming. And according to Scaramucci, the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF filed by giant asset managers such as BlackRock, who controls over 10 trillion in assets under management and Fidelity, that controls over four and a half trillion in assets under management, can see Bitcoin increasing its market cap by roughly 24 times from the current level. We'll send it. Let's go quoting the Mooch here. It is important that now the largest asset manager in the world who started out with some level of skepticism related to digital assets and Bitcoin is now willing to adopt Bitcoin. I mean, I guess they mean BlackRock is willing to adopt Bitcoin, but even more important than that, they're willing to explain to their clients. I think BlackRock now has 13 trillion dollars in assets under management. So for them, seven trillion for Fidelity. While these numbers are higher than I even imagine, while their clients need exposure to digital property like Bitcoin. And so we have a five hundred billion dollar plus market for Bitcoin. So you and I know gold is at 12 trillion ish, depending on where it's trading. But yes, 12 trillion. There is no reason why Bitcoin couldn't get gold. So there you have it. And to watch this video interview he did with Scott Melker entitled 37000 Bitcoin. Can it skyrocket 35 percent? Check the show notes below the video in the description. And I think we all could agree it's only a matter of time before Bitcoin returns to price discovery mode, virtually meaning entering new all time highs. My personal prediction is sometime in 2024, considering the two biggest catalysts, which we just covered, the Bitcoin halving and Bitcoin ETF approval, which we know is going to be a given, especially considering the SEC is not going to be able to push it back and push back that deadline any longer because, you know, they just they have been pushing it back now for 10 years while they continue to approve futures ETFs, which can allow them to spoof and manipulate the market, which is all by design. At the end of the day, there's not new under the sun and three things cannot be long hidden. The sun, the moon and the truth. But just saying. Anyways, fam, now let's discuss the ongoing fight against CZ, the finance CEO with this 250 million dollar loan. And then I'll be breaking down his 10 million dollar price prediction and in fact sharing a transcription of him claiming that Bitcoin can thousand X from the current price, which would ultimately mean not 10 million, but we're talking twenty six to twenty seven million dollars per coin. Let's break this down. So here we go. First, with the FUD, the Binance CEO, CZ Shangping Zhao had refuted a recent report alleging that he received the 250 million dollar loan from BAM Management, the company that serves as the holding entity for Binance US. Now, how many of you have used Binance US or Binance before as the exchange? Let me know, fam. The development comes amidst Binance's struggles with plunging trading volume as the world's largest crypto exchange faces mounting lawsuits and increased scrutiny, regulatory which seems to all be by design by the SEC and the regulators. Right. The report published by Decrypt September 19th drew its conclusions from court documents associated with the ongoing lawsuit involving Binance and the United States. SEC, according to the news agency's interpretation, the Binance US legal representatives asserted in the documents that BAM Management US Holdings had issued a quarter billion dollar convertible note to CZ back in December. CZ, however, challenged the accuracy of the report when he tweeted the following. The amount of wrong information is just they got the direction wrong. I loaned 250 million dollars to BAM a while back, not the other way around, and have not taken it back. The Binance CEO clarified that the loan arrangement was, in fact, the opposite of what was reported in the post. The exec explained that he had extended a 250 million dollar loan to BAM Management and asserted that he had not yet received the payment. So there's nothing new under the sun. Just more FUD, it seems like, fam. The legal battle has taken a toll on Binance US, which saw a flurry of employee departures. The US SEC alleged that Binance was not cooperating in the ongoing probe and even claimed that BAM refused to make essential witnesses available for deposition. Concerns were also raised on CEFFU, which happens to be a custody service offered by Binance's international arm, Binance Holdings Ltd. The SEC's filing claimed that the platform appeared to be in violation of a previous agreement designed to prevent the transfer of the assets abroad. And despite the scathing attacks by the financial regulator, Binance scored a small win this week. The SEC's motion to approve an inspection into Binance US was denied by the USDC District Judge, Zia Farokhia. So there you have it. I mean, the ongoing FUD will more than likely continue, as obviously Binance is the largest crypto exchange in the world and regulators seem to have a problem with them and want to go after them for whatever apparent reason. So, like I said, hopefully in the end, you know, truth is revealed and the real story versus all the FUD and, you know, the manipulation of the price action and all the shenanigans we continue to witness in the market. And with that being shared, now let's dive into the Binance CEO, CZ and his 10 million dollar price prediction, as well as him predicting that Bitcoin price action could even a thousand X from here, sending the Bitcoin price parabolic to 26 or even 27 million dollars per coin. Let's break this baby down, shall we? Here we go. JV, have you ever heard of him? A crypto YouTube influencer from Crypto News Alerts remembered CZ's prediction. You're damn right I did. The Bitcoin would reach 10 million per coin. JV referred to the statement in a recent video uploaded on YouTube where he analyzes various aspects of the Bitcoin market development. Now, JV looked back at CZ's Bitcoin prediction while analyzing the Bitcoin CEO's recent Twitter comments. And in a Q &A session on July 5th, CZ addressed several issues, including Binance's reaction to the ongoing regulatory scrutiny. He also spoke about the rising interest of institutional investors in crypto currencies, as well as the proposed BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF. CZ made the 10 million dollar price prediction back in 2021. In fact, I have the article already pulled up and I'm going to be reading word for word what he shared. Following MicroStrategy's announcement, allocating Bitcoin for the corporate strategy, CZ based his analysis on the possibility of several corporate companies, major institutions across the world, allocating just one percent of their corporate treasury into Bitcoin. And according to CZ, that would lead to a thousand X growth in the value of BTC. JV highlighted CZ's welcoming approach to institutional investors in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and CZ noted that advantages in traditional finance firms they bring to the crypto industry, despite concerns about their intentions clashing with Bitcoin's decentralized nature. And according to JV, CZ identified two key factors driving Binance's strategy for the next 18 months. They include the upcoming Bitcoin halving event now less than six months out, as well as, you know, we could be seeing a Bitcoin ETF here in the near future. The Bitcoin community expects the next halving to occur in April of 2024. Now quoting CZ word for word from the initial interview he made on Bloomberg Radio predicting a potential 1000 X increase in the Bitcoin price action. So here's what he had to say. Right now, I think only 11 companies again, this is right around the time that MicroStrategy announced putting Bitcoin on its balance sheet. They announced having allocating some talking about Bitcoin, like usually less than one percent of their corporate treasury to Bitcoin. And we think that it is most likely what caused the initial price rise. I think MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor started it first, but there are six hundred and fifty thousand companies in the world, like relatively established companies in the world, and their treasury is huge. Preach. So if all of them talking about these major institutions only allocated just one percent to Bitcoin, we are going to see, I don't know, 1000 X more growth in the Bitcoin price. And if they allocate more than one percent, then it's going to be even bigger. So I think people don't quite get the magnitude of the wave that is about to hit us. Now, let's run that math one more time. Fam, today's price is roughly twenty six thousand five hundred times that by one thousand. He's talking about a twenty six and a half million dollar Bitcoin price action. The potential if they only put one percent of their strategic reserves into Bitcoin, you do the math. If it's five X and five percent, what are we talking? One hundred and twenty million dollar Bitcoin price. Just saying this is coming from CZ, the world's richest man in crypto. So very powerful words indeed. Let's get back to this prediction of what he shared. So the finance CEO estimates that the flagship crypto can go up anywhere from nineteen hundred percent to twenty thousand percent from the current price levels from the time he made the prediction. And he goes on to share with price predictions. It is really, really difficult. I think it can go to, I don't know, one million dollars, ten million dollars. It is very hard to tell. And again, if we literally did a thousand X from today's price, we're talking twenty six and a half million per BTZ. So CZ also reveals that the exchange is onboarding new users as an at an unprecedented sustained rate during the bull run, outpacing its user growth during the twenty seventeen bull run. So again, this was during the twenty twenty one bull run. Here's what he had to share. Just to give people the idea, in twenty seventeen, when Bitcoin hit the peak of about 20 G's, we were seeing three hundred thousand new registered users per day. And that only happened for a couple of days. And that kind of trailed off and became slower. Now we're seeing sustained new user registrations above the peak and sustained like for over two to three months. So could you imagine running the world's largest crypto exchange and having over three hundred thousand new registered users every single day for like 90 days straight? That is insanity. And that's the previous market. I think twenty twenty four is likely going to outpace the previous market as Bitcoin becomes a common household name and as Bitcoin game theory continues in full effect. You have presidential candidates making Bitcoin a big determining factor. We have people like Ron DeSantis, Kennedy Jr., Javier Malay over in Argentina. So naturally, it's just going to create more commotion and positive catalysts for Bitcoin as we move forward into twenty twenty four. So, I mean, fireworks are ahead. Let me know how you feel. We're likely to finish out this year by December of twenty twenty three. Where do you feel the Bitcoin price action is likely to be?

Bitcoin has seen upside momentum the day prior, culminating in a trip above 26 .4 after the daily close, then a subsequent comedown nonetheless took Bitcoin full circle, and Bitcoin slash USD pair was back under the 26 ,000 mark at this time. Now, some analysts breaking down some of the charts here, such as Jelle says, whoops, let's take out the lows again, then. Hmm. Now the result was punishment for the late traders chasing the market up and down. According to data from CoinGlass, short liquidations total $23 .5 million for yesterday, September 11th.

Bitcoin Binance and Bybit open interest shorts got hunted and as expected. Note the over leverage added here, or I'm sorry, open interest added here with a small price reaction and decrease in the per bid delta. This implies that more shorts scaling into the price on the second dive higher. Now, fellow trader Dan Crypto Trades highlighted the significance of reclaiming lost ground from August, quitting him here. Bitcoin was finally able to break above the September monthly open after testing it numerous times. It is now retesting it. The question is, will it provide as much support as it did resistance? It's up to the bulls to try to maintain a green September. Meanwhile, CoinGlass data confirms September tends to produce a Bitcoin price downside of close to 10%, with market expectations skewed approximately for 2023. And quoting another trader, Crypto Tony, he says, nice rally off of 25 .6 range low, but no following through up to the range highs. So again, we're stuck mid range. No entry for me on Bitcoin unless we clear 26 ,600 as outlined here in this chart. Now quoting another analyst, Michal Vendet Pop, he says, technically speaking, we can solely focus on the price action in 2019, but that doesn't grant a clear case. The case in 2015, we can correlate the current market with that cycle, he said in his commentary. And he continued, in that regard, this is the final correction. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the analyst as he outlines here in this chart. He says there is a level in which Bitcoin must hold in order to avoid the significant crash. Bitcoin currently holding onto a significant level of support. It's around the 25 ,500 barrier, which has held up thus far. Do you think we're likely to drop sub 20 ,000? Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments right down below. And now let's break down the latest from Michael Saylor. He recently shared three catalysts, which will take the Bitcoin price to $5 million per coin. Catalyst number one, a spot ETF approval, which he says is inevitable. Number two, banks custody and against Bitcoin as collateral, which is coming soon. And number three, fair value accounting rules from the FASB, which will be approved this week. So there you have it. Very bullish sentiment coming from Mr. Saylor and massive shout out to Ricardo Salinas, the third richest man in Mexico. In this interview, here's what he had to share. Christine Lagarde is a thief and Jerome Powell is a scammer. They're pulling off the perfect fraud. So much respect and shout out to Ricardo Salinas for preaching the facts. And quoting Max Keiser, the high priest of Bitcoin, he says that President Bokele is the Warren Buffett and Elon Musk of Central and South America. And he's turning a $26 billion out of favor of phishing and Pupusa hub with some untapped volcano Bitcoin mining potential into a $300 billion mega success story that's transforming the region. So let's freaking go. Massive shout out to Najib Bokele. And now let's break down our next story of the day and discuss this $2 billion crypto scam. Could you imagine being sentenced to over 11 ,000 years in prison? Do they not understand the average life expectancy of a human being? I mean, who does that? But anyways, this is quite fascinating to say the least. Here's the guy right here, just in Turkish crypto exchange CEO sentenced to 11 ,196 years in prison for allegedly stealing $2 billion in customer funds. This story should have SPF ishing his pants considering SPF with FTX was a $30 billion fraud for Christ's sake. Facts. So yeah, let's break this one down. The former CEO of Turkish crypto exchange Thodex. And let me know if anyone has ever heard of the exchange. I never heard of it until today. The guy's name is Farouk Faith Ozer. He was sentenced to 11 ,196 years in prison by a Turkish court on charges of establishing, managing and being a member of an organization where qualified fraud and laundering of property values. Are you listening to SPF? Now, the ninth high criminal court sentenced him along with his two siblings to the same jail sentence of 11 ,196 years. Good Lord. 10 months and 15 days in prison along with a $5 million fine reported Turkish state run news agency. The Turkish crypto exchange was one of the largest digital asset trading platforms in the country before abruptly imploding in 2021. The exchange halted services on the platform without prior notice. And the founder fled the country along with the user's assets, totaling over $2 billion in crypto. And at the time, he refuted all claims of the possible exit scam. The fugitive founder was finally detained in Albania in August of last year, where he has been serving a jail sentence before he was extradited to Turkey in April of this year on charges of fraud and money laundering. The same charges SPF is against. Now, he was already in jail for failure to submit tax documents since July, while the most recent conviction comes for defrauding customers. The founder of the crypto exchange claimed in court that he and his family are facing injustice. He said that Thodex was a crypto company that went bankrupt and had no criminal intentions. A Google translated version of his court statement read, the following, I am smart enough to manage all institutions in the world. This is evident from the company I founded at the age of 22. If I were to establish a criminal organization, I would not act so amateurishly. The question is that, is it clear that the suspects in the file have been victims for more than two years? So he's allegedly claiming to be a victim. The long drawn out case against the Thodex crypto exchange had 21 defendants, five of whom attended the court hearing in person. The court acquitted 16 defendants of qualified fraud due to the lack of evidence and ordered the release of four defendants. The other defendants in the case received varying degrees of sentences based on their involvement in the crypto fraud. So there you have it. I mean, quite interesting to hear anyone being sentenced for over 11 ,000 years, and especially considering his siblings are also involved. Do you think they're just trying to make an example out of him? I don't know what to really think, honestly, because I don't know the guy. I don't know the exchange. I don't know if he's really innocent. I don't know if it's an attack. But what are your thoughts, fam? Let me know. And at the end of the show, I'll be reading everyone's comments out loud. But it does sadden me. I must say, hearing anyone get sentenced to 11 ,000 years in prison doesn't seem right. If you could only live approximately, what, 80 years, it just is a bunch of nonsense and sounds like they're trying to make an example out of someone. I say, if you want to make an example out of someone, use SPF, the $30 billion fraudster himself. Why don't we start there? You know what I mean? Just saying. Anyways, fam, now let's discuss the potential supply shock incoming as per Invest Answers as institutions fight for the final 5 % of the Bitcoin supply. That's right, citing an infographic from blockchain analytics firm Glassnodes stating that 95 % of the existing supply of Bitcoin has not moved over the past 30 days. Anonymous host of Invest Answers tells his half a million YouTube subs the Bitcoin needs to rally is a buy -side catalyst, quitting him here. Breaking news, 95 % of all the Bitcoin has not moved in the last 30 days. So again, despite the weak market, only 5 % is moving around with 95 % sitting tight. And we know why. But the real magic of this, imagine there is a catalyst and imagine big money wants to jump in and buy a truckload of Bitcoin. The price will just go parabolic. And that's just economics, ladies and gents. This is why I am so obsessed with Bitcoin. It is so scarce. So literally when the big institutions come and they are fighting over that 5 % and all the legacy holders are just sitting there watching anyway, it's a reason to be excited. And the charts don't lie as the HODL waves chart from Glassnodes shares here, literally 95 % of all the Bitcoin has not moved in the past 30 days. So shout out to all my long -term HODLers. The anonymous host also further says that the remaining supply of Bitcoin after accounting for the long -term HODLers and the lost Bitcoin is also yet another bullish indicator, quitting him here. The amount of Bitcoin that is either HODLed or lost or basically has not moved in the last five years is nearly 8 million BTC. That means technically only 11 million or thereabouts have not. And in fact, taking this five -year plus, it doesn't include all the Bitcoin lost over the last five years or less. So we just know it is super scarce. It is question, well, if it is so scarce, is that not bad? No, it is not. It means the price of what's left will go up and it won't take a lot to move it as well. So there you have it. And in this chart by Glassnode, you can see the 8 million Bitcoin HODLed or lost in the past five years, but only 11 million left as the smart money and the whales continue accumulating as they should. So there you have it. Let me know if you feel that Bitcoin supply shock is going to be incoming, this halving coming up in roughly six months, scheduled to be sometime in April 2024. Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments right down below. Now let's discuss our next story of the day and discuss when do you think the Bitcoin price is likely to hit that new all -time high? Well, let's break this down according to Crypto Con, a fellow analyst predicting all -time highs in 2025, which I feel is conservative. I think personally we're likely to smash the 69 ,000 all -time highs sometime next year in 2024. But let me know your thoughts, chat. Now amid debate over the nature of the current Bitcoin four -year price cycle, Crypto Con believes that all may be simpler than many imagine when it comes to how Bitcoin behaves at a given time. Unveiling the November 28th chart on X, he delineated the date of the key pivot point for the year along with a three -week period on either side, quoting him here, using four -year time cycles against my inception. The cycles are centered around the dates of the first halving, November 28th. And he continues, the Bitcoin price action began at the first bottom, October 8th, 2010. This is where cycle curves peak every four years. Tops and bottoms come plus or negative 21 days from November 28th at their appropriate times on the curve. Tops on the upswing, bottoms on the pinnacle. So the chart virtually describes November 28th as Bitcoin date. Bitcoin sees a Bitcoin bull launch every four years. The last was in 2020 when Bitcoin broke beyond his previous all -time high, hitting the current high of 69 ,000, which we did in November of 2021. The next point of interest is thus November 2024. Until then, Bitcoin price action will spend its time in a mid -cycle lull, according to the analysts. After Bitcoin bottoms, the price makes an early first cycle move, which you can see in this chart in the orange and enters into a mid -cycle. This is the longest part of the cycle where Bitcoin spends time around the median price, half of the previous all -time high until the curve bottoms. So ultimately, the median price of the previous high is probably in that $33 ,000 to $34 ,000 range, just FYI. But he did add that Bitcoin had almost certainly seen its early top, referencing the 31 ,800 local highs back from July of this year. Now, as reported by Cointelegraph, opinions on where the Bitcoin price action will go into the 2024 block subsidy having differ from analyst to analyst. Some argue that the modest gains will be all that the hodlers will see before the event scheduled for April of next year, again, roughly six months out. We also have Phil B. Philby, co -founder of trading suite Decent Trader. He delivered a $46 ,000 target for the halving with $36 ,000 slated for year's end. What are your thoughts surrounding these two targets? Do let me know. Meanwhile, CryptoCon summarized that 2023 Bitcoin's price behavior as a full market fake out, putting him here. This makes it appear as if the bull market has begun with the trigger of many signals. But then at some point, the price fails to continue. This is the most convincing example we have seen of this yet. And personally, I think there is still some time to go for that. And I am patiently awaiting its completion in which he shares alongside the Bitcoin one -day candle chart. Now, as we know, we'll see where the Bitcoin price is likely to go next. But now the million dollar question, when are we likely to finally get a Bitcoin ETF spot in the United States as they have been getting denied now consistently for over a decade with the first app being submitted by the Winklevoss twins, owners of the Gemini exchange? Because we all know fact there is a lot of money on the sidelines. In fact, analysts are predicting over 30 trillion will be ushered into the Bitcoin price and the market cap as soon as this does get the approval. But when is the million dollar question? So let's discuss when the spot Bitcoin ETF followed by a prediction of the Bitcoin price soaring 60x from the current price action to one and a half million dollars per coin. Then we'll dive into our live Q &A. So the first spot Bitcoin ETF app was filed in July of 2013, literally over a decade ago. Fam, I'm not exaggerating. It was denied in both 2017 and 2018. A decade has since passed since the initial app. Now the SEC had rejected more than a dozen additional apps and repeatedly punched the date for deciding on others. I'm sorry, punted, meaning they continue to push it back. The ETF saga's latest interaction saw Bitcoin jump more than 6 % as industry advocates celebrated a court ruling that affirmed what we already knew, that the SEC's rejection of the Grayscale ETF app was arbitrary, 100%. This was of course followed by the SEC delaying its decision on all seven pending Bitcoin ETFs and a subsequent price drop. Now we wait as the SEC deliberates on its next move surrounding the Grayscale pleads for approval. Now to a degree, the case for Bitcoin ETF makes sense in the spirit of adoption. The $7 trillion ETF industry is ripe with investors still on the crypto sidelines awaiting for a product that would grant them Bitcoin exposure without having to buy Bitcoin directly and set up a wallet. Plus as a community that's fought long and hard to have digital assets taken seriously, the crypto world is inclined to welcome the validation that the United States ETF would signal. 100%, when are we going to get that? But crypto, Bitcoin especially, is predicated on the need for an alternative financial system, one that enables the financial sovereignty, transparency, and consensus that traditional finance is glaringly lacking. The crypto industry's eagerness for an SEC ETF approval feels like a step backward akin to the American revolutionaries begging parliament to intermediate colonial tax collection and rejection of its imperial rule. And as Michael Saylor points out here in this tweet, BITO had underperformed Bitcoin by 28 % year to date. This is why we need a spot. Bitcoin ETF preach. And again, Michael Saylor says the Bitcoin price can soar to $5 million per coin just on the back of the three catalysts I mentioned earlier. And mainstream adoption is a ubiquitous goal amongst crypto champs. And the SEC sign off on a Bitcoin vehicle that resonates with trade fi is ostensibly a fast track right to it. But fighting for approval from an opaque centralized agency for an intermediated investment product belies our industry's purpose. And frankly, it's unnecessary preach. The irony of cautious investors waiting to buy Bitcoin ETF shares rather than taking the safer route of buying Bitcoin directly is palpable. ETF bears many layers of counterparty risks, including the sponsor custodian and other partners. We saw how catastrophic this type of risk can be to crypto during the latest contagion when customers lost more than $10 billion within months because they trusted third parties. Now, though the contagion appears to have dwindled, the major takeaway remains. If you don't have the private keys to your Bitcoin, your assets aren't in your control, and they may not even exist. Facts, not your keys, not your cheese fam. As we preach here on the channel, those of us who witnessed the fallout up close know this, but investors who have been waiting on the sidelines for the ETF likely do not. It is our job as industry builders and veterans to help the newcomers understand the new degree of security and risk aversion that Bitcoin technology enables. The downside of a spot Bitcoin ETF runs deeper than the conceptual contradiction of the unknowingly purchases of a riskier investment. The potential cost of the crypto movement is immense. Take, for example, BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust, the announcement of which drove the Bitcoin price to one -year high in June. However, perhaps blinded by the prospect of monumental institutional inflows, much of the Bitcoin community, myself included, has thrown its support behind BlackRock's iteration of TradeFi 2 .0 haphazardly disguised as Bitcoin conviction, and buried within BlackRock's submission is a clause on hard forks, which you may not know about. Quoting them here, the sponsor use is discretion to determine which network should be considered the appropriate network for the trust purposes, and in doing so may adversely affect the value of the shares. There is no guarantee that the sponsor will choose the digital asset that is ultimately the most valuable fork. The sponsor may also disagree with shareholders, the Bitcoin custodian, and other service providers, the index administrator, crypto exchanges, or other market participants on what is generally accepted as Bitcoin and should therefore be considered Bitcoin for the trust purposes, which may also adversely affect the value of the shares as a token. However, the sponsor uses the consensus mechanism for a protocol that has already been well -defined and battle -tested mechanism. So it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out for the major institutions around the world. We know the BlackRock track record is literally 575 to one, meaning the SEC have approved 575 ETF requests, and I've only ever denied them of one. The possibility and likelihood of an ETF being approved by BlackRock I'd say is extremely high, but it takes us back to the million -dollar question, when? If I was to put a date on it, I'd say likely. Sometime in 2024, as ETF experts and analysts are currently predicting, including Eric Valchunas, says there is a 95 % chance of a spot ETF being approved in 2024, and I believe he gave it a 75 % chance of still being approved by the next deadline, which is October. Putting on my Nostradamus hat, I think Gary of the SEC are going to likely push back and punt the deadline once again until next year. But that's my two Satoshi's. Let me know your thoughts, fam, in the comments right down below. And now let's break down our final featured story of the day, and that's the BlackRock Bitcoin spot ETF unlocking literally $30 trillion of value into the crypto market cap. That's right. According to Bloomberg, ETF analyst Eric Valchunas' approval of a Bitcoin ETF could potentially be the game changer in unlocking vast reserves of capital for the crypto market. His analysis estimates that $30 trillion worth of assets controlled by the US financial advisors could be funneled into Bitcoin investments if a spot ETF green is signaled by the US SEC. So let's discuss this domino effect of BlackRock's controlling over $9 trillion in assets under management. We all know they submitted their app for the Bitcoin spot ETF last month, significantly shifting the probability landscape. According to Valchunas, the chance of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval soared from only 1 % to over 50 % following BlackRock's involvement. And as I broke it down for you, he's now saying 75 % chance this year and 95 % chance next year. And quoting him here, their application triggered a wave of similar filings by other prominent firms, such as ARK Investment, Valkyrie, and Fidelity, setting the stage for a highly competitive environment. That's right. Now, Fidelity, I believe, is the second largest asset manager in the world that currently controls over $4 trillion in assets under management. And although Bitcoin futures ETFs do exist in the US, they pale in comparison to what a spot ETF can bring to the table. So currently, these futures -based ETF accounts for only about $1 billion in total assets under management. Valchunas describes the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF as the holy grail that would dwarf the current offerings and galvanize the crypto market like we have never seen before. So send it and let's freaking go. Also, a spot ETF would not only benefit Bitcoin, but also serve as a boost for the rest of the crypto industry, solidifying the assets class position and mainstream finance. And as they say, a rising tide raises all ships, so not only Bitcoin, but the entire crypto market would obviously benefit the approval of a Bitcoin spot. ETF stands on potentially transformative moment for the American market, with at least 10 firms currently in competition, and astronomical sums are at stake. The race is currently heating up. BlackRock haven't already partnered with Coinbase in 2022 to offer institutional clients crypto access to launching its own spot Bitcoin private trust, appearing to be at the vanguard of the financial revolution. So with trillions of dollars in play, the implications for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently colossal. The clock is ticking and the world watches with bated breath as regulatory decisions loom on the horizon. So there you have it. I also want to mention, if you'd like to watch this, Eric Valchunas, the analyst from BlackRock, talking about $30 trillion entering the market upon the approval of an ETF, check the show notes below the video in the description. And I also want to talk about, off of the news, which was shared last year, that BlackRock could team up and partner with Coinbase as a custodial, we had some predictions of a $773 ,000 Bitcoin price. So I'd like to break down the math and where these numbers have come from. So quoting Invest's answers from his forecast, which he made on his channel, that Bitcoin price is going to go parabolic off of this news, quoting him here, if BlackRock were to place just a half a percent of its assets under management, Bitcoin's market cap would be affected by an increase of over a trillion dollars. This would add about $75 ,000 to the Bitcoin price. Bitcoin, which is in the $23 ,000 band at the time he made the prediction, will make its way to about $98 ,000 per coin. This is 326 % more than today's price. And it is very, very achievable. So let's talk about it more long term. So he also stated that if BlackRock stands out with an asset value of $10 trillion, put 1 % of their funds into Bitcoin, the leading crypto would be worth more than $150 ,000 per coin, quoting him again, now if they allocate a 1 % stake, which will of course take time to reach this level, that would add about $2 .1 trillion to the market cap and $150 ,000 to the Bitcoin price. And that would push Bitcoin's future price to $173 ,000 per coin. The profit for Bitcoin here is 652%. And the analysts also stated the Bitcoin can rise to as high as $773 ,000 if BlackRock allocates just a 5 % share. But on the other hand, this estimate can be considered to seem quite maximalist in the current situation. However, according to the crypto analysts, between the next three to five years, the price will be achievable at these levels, quoting him again, if as analyst Dan Tapiero said, they add 5%, which I think is very aggressive, maybe with time, maybe in the next three to five years, it will be possible. This will quite easily push the price of Bitcoin to $773 ,000 per coin in the next three to five years. So there you have it, fam. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts. Do you think the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the US will help usher in literally, literally $30 trillion into the market considering the current Bitcoin market cap is only $500 billion? That's roughly 60x. So if you take today's price of $26 ,000 and times that by 60x, we get above a $1 .5 million Bitcoin price.

A highlight from Mexico's Third Richest Man Buys MORE Bitcoin | EP 820
"It's all going to zero against Bitcoin. It's going up forever, Ron. Bitcoin! You're against Bitcoin, you're against freedom. Yo, welcome to Simba Bitcoin Live, we're your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution, because we're breaking news, culture, and medical warfare. We will be your guide through the separation of money and state. My mistake, guys, I did set going live to 12 .15 PM, not 12 .15 AM, I apologize. I'm in Los Angeles right now, so a bit of a mix -up in terms of the time changes, that's why you see me in this dark hotel room, but I am well lit, so there is good news, I guess. Anyways, today's news, guys, we're going to cover a lot. We have a look into, remember a couple of weeks ago, guys, there was this news coming out of Oman that they were going to invest $1 .1 billion into mining infrastructure. Well, it looks like our friends over at Luxor did an analysis of what that, you know, what that, what that entailed. And also, we're also going to talk about the richest man in Mexico. And he recently did an interview with Natalie Brunel, and I'm talking about the third richest man, by the way. His name is Ricardo Salinas. And once again, he has increased his Bitcoin position and also comedian Bill Burr calls out the Federal Reserve and the debasement of the dollar. So it looks like the Bitcoin echo chamber continues to break. People are starting to question what is money. I remember I was I was checking into into my room last night, into the hotel. And I remember the the people at the lobby were talking about that they were just having a conversation like, look, life is good, man, but like, holy cow, this this inflation thing. And and again, like, think about it, like, what is the probability that I'm there at that specific time to hear that type of conversation on the side? And I feel like people are enduring this everywhere. And we covered an article that came out in reference to in reference to 61 percent of Americans, according to CNBC, are living paycheck to paycheck. So yeah, it's it's pretty crazy. Also breaking news. We'll have more follow up news for you guys next week. Ripple acquires crypto focus chartered trust company, Fortress Trust, and McShane from Bitcoin magazine tagged CEO and CEO Corey Clipsons, and he said, how will this affect customer Bitcoin deposits at Swan? Corey replied and said, near term, no change. Fortress Trust will be run as an autonomous unit. Midterm will have some news out very, very soon. So also, full disclosure, Swan is a partner of of Simply Bitcoin and I work at the company also. I'm part of the part of the media. So we'll keep you guys in the loop, as always, like what we've always advocated for on Simply Bitcoin. Take self custody of your Bitcoin if you know, if you don't like what's going on. That's that's what I would advise. You know, it's it's good to trust, minimize in regardless of the situation, regardless of who your broker is, who your custodian is. You should really trust yourself with your money, especially if you don't like what's going out externally, what's going on externally. Anyways, I want to bring up my legendary co -host, always optimistic. How are you doing, Opti? I'm doing wonderful. It is Friday. I feel good. Actually, full disclosure, I drank too much coffee this morning, guys, so I'm probably going to go absolutely bananas on today's show. But hey, it is what it is. Hey, everyone's trolling me on my lack of a mustache, guys, I cannot grow facial hair. Chill out in the chat. Anyways, anyways, let's let's bring in our guest today, Vox, how you doing? We got a Bitcoiner, as we say all the time on the show, we bring on Bitcoiners from all walks of life, from the biggest names to the everyday Bitcoiner. So you already know we're going to go down his Bitcoin story, how you became a Bitcoiner. And he told me, at least tweeted at us last night, that he's been reading Lynn Alden's new book, so we'll probably get some thoughts on that and then maybe some thoughts on what he thinks is the best way to orange pill. So anyways, Vox, how you doing? I know you got your cold brew over there. I hope you get just as jacked as I will on today's show.
Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell
"salinas" Discussed on Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell
"What's good about egalitarianism, about equality? There's nothing good about equality. Do you think that we will have as deep of a wealth concentration or wealth gap? I don't know. It depends on what people do to create wealth. Probably yes, because the more productivity, the more inventions there are, and there's more contribution to society, and these are huge contributions. People get really rich because they've made these contributions to society. So the whole thing about inequality, we're off to the wrong start, you see. So you should never argue with someone who's talking about inequality because you know what he wants. He wants to take it from you to give it to him so that everybody is the same egalitarian, and he's the central planner. Inequality is inherent to the human being. It's a fact of life. So live up to it, you know. That's the way it is. We are all unequal, and we will continue to be unequal. And how can I count the ways of being unequal? Where were you born? What did your parents do? Did they throw you on the floor? Did they feed you well? Did you go to the school? Did you meet this other guy? Did you get on drugs? Everything is unequal. It's stupid. Even equality of opportunity is a very stupid thing. No, we don't have equal opportunity. That's very interesting because I look at Bitcoin as providing more access to opportunity, equalizing, leveling the playing field, and I agree with you that it won't be an equal world because people have different passions, skills, desires to actually work and provide and create value. But I do think that fiat has contributed to the massive amount of wealth gap where you have people in the same system, people who work very hard who can't make a living. I agree with you on that. Who are. And then billionaires who never have to worry. And it's just such a deep chasm that people feel like they can't get ahead anymore, and that breeds a sense of frustration. So I feel like the gap will be smaller with a system like Bitcoin. You might be right. There's the cantillion effect, you know? Yes, exactly. So absolutely, fiat has done that massively. Now, when you have this rap with billionaires, let me tell you, what is a billionaire? So let's take the famous billionaire, Musk. So it happens to be that he's a billionaire because he has this company that's worth I don't know how much, and he has 10%, and it's worth a lot of money, right? And then he has this other company, which is not public, but worth a lot of money. So he's a billionaire. I don't know if he has a better quality of life than me or many of my friends. So on paper, it looks like he has some stock, which he sold and got some other paper for Twitter. But you can't love paper. You can't have dinner with it. You have to sell the damn paper and get some money and then buy real stuff. You can buy a yacht, and then you can go take a two-month vacation. And that's the thing you do with wealth. So is he a wealthy guy? I don't know if he works 18 hours a day and sleeps in the office. I don't think that's wealth. I mean, I know what he's doing, and I don't criticize him. I think he's perfectly right. But this idea of these billionaires with, you know, it's like, what was it? Rico McPatto, the Donald Duck character, the Uncle Scrooge. Remember Uncle Scrooge? I like to be characterized as that. Uncle Ricky, Uncle Scrooge. So he has this swimming pool full of coins and bills, and he loves to go swimming in there. Is that wealth? Of course not. That's not wealth. He was very unhappy. And that's not wealth. What is wealth? What is that really money? You might have a big bank account. You might have a lot of stock. But first thing, you have to sell your stock. Next, you've got to pay your taxes. Now you have fiat. And then what? You're still not wealthy. You just changed one paper for another, and now you have to do something. Now, for me, I know a guy who's really wealthy, and he has these oil fields, throw up oil every day, and he turns it into fiat every day, and he has to spend the damn fiat before it turns into smoke, like oil. And he has a yacht and a 747, and he has a house here and a hotel there, and this and that. That guy's wealthy. He's really rich. You know what I mean? It's not a damn paper billionaire that counts. Well, money obviously doesn't buy happiness. It doesn't buy a lot of things. But it does allow you a sense of freedom. And so many people don't have even enough to feel like they can get by to the next step of their life. That's terrible. So that's what they're saying. There's nothing nice about being poor. People watching this that maybe can't get by, they're living paycheck to paycheck, how do they get out of that today when there are so many economic obstacles? Is it owned bitcoin? What do you say to people as advice to try to have economic power? The thing is paycheck to paycheck is a really bad proposition because you're trading your time, your life, for some fiat money. It's very difficult to scale that. You only have so much time. So if you really want to get away from that, you have to think of how to create value for someone else and then get them to give you your money. That's why I love the definition of money that I heard the other day. I think it was, what's his name, Jack, the young guy? Jack Mallers. Who does this in the closet? Yes. That one, Mallers, right? I like him. He said money, the money you have equals the contribution that you have made to society. So if you have $7 per hour, you're not contributing a lot to society. Well, I think education helps, right, to take that next step. So you've created Universidad de la Libertad. Tell me a little bit about that and why it's so important to instill students with this sense of pursuing economic empowerment, freedom, individual rights. Yeah, I think it's very unfortunate how the academics have been left free and are allowed to indoctrinate the future generations with this bullshit ideology of communism, of wokeism, of entitlement, and of obedience, and of conformity, and of non-thinking. It's really a disgrace. So I just couldn't take it anymore and I created this thing to do the opposite. You must have some pushback then here. Oh, yes, a lot. As I mentioned yesterday, I think I was here, and this was the most difficult project to get on because everybody's against it. It must be part of your legacy, the thing that you want to leave behind. What does it mean to you? What do you want your life to mean? Well, my legacy is, of course, my family, my children. I have six children, three from one round and three from another one, and I have eight and a half grandchildren. I hope to have another eight at least. And I have brothers and I have a sister. I have nephews and I have uncles. And we're like all in this together, right? So this is a big family and it's very nice, and that is a real legacy. What does it mean to be part not only of today but where you're coming from, where you came, and where you're going? So all of it is together, you know? That makes a lot more sense than just saying, ah, I'm worth $10 billion. So what? Who cares, huh? It's the whole thing. It's beautiful to hear you talk. It seems like it's making you emotional. I'm very emotional. Why does that make you emotional to talk about your family and what they mean? I'm not only about my family. I'm a very emotional guy and I take things seriously. But it gives me pleasure. Do you see a future where the world will be better for your children and grandchildren or are you worried about some of the things happening? Well, I'm very worried, but you know what? I'm going to take care of it, and they're going to take care of it too. And we're not going to consent to nothing. I love that. Well, that's beautiful. And it sounds like you have great wealth with your family, with connections. I think a lot of people are lacking that. Now you made me cry. Thank you so much, Ricardo. It's been such an honor. You have impacted so, so many people. And with Bitcoin, is it true you're still over 50%? Your portfolio, you really put your money where your mouth is? Well, again, if you look at all the assets I have, of course it's not 50%. But because I have a lot of assets in companies, in stock, you know, things I have. Property, buildings. But in the liquid part of the portfolio, I now opted. I basically just have Bitcoin, MicroStrategy, four or five miners, some oil companies, and some gold miners. That's it. Amazing. Okay, so Ricardo is on the Bitcoin standard. And you're doing so much for the community. Thank you so much for taking the time to be on the show. Gracias, Natalie. So feel free to get in touch on Twitter at Nat Brunel or Instagram at Natalie Brunel. Take care till next time.

"So the only thing where things don't change, do you know where? In the cemetery. Then it doesn't change. You just sit around and push the daisies. Yeah, no, that's very, very true. Well, you know, you talk about the fiat fraud. You talk about governments, as you even say, criminals, but I want to dig in on that a little bit because I believe human nature is good. So I want to ask you that. Do you think that the people who are in power are malicious, they're evil, or is it just the incentive structure, the system that we're in that incentivizes them to be... The vast majority of people are good people, and they're noble people. They wake up, they work, they care for their families, and they have hearts. You know, that's the vast majority of people. But you only need 1%, 2% son of a bitches, and they take care of everybody else. Crime is part of human nature. Abuse is part of human nature. Treason, murder, this exists, you know? And so let's not kid ourselves. The behavior of mankind, it's all kinds of things. So when you design a system, you've got to account for those criminals. And that's why trusting the government is a bad idea. Power tends to attract the worst kind of people. Do you think that if we fix our monetary system and we have more Bitcoin adoption, that we will have less crime, that we will have less of those negative human behaviors? We should because, you know, social strife is basically caused by this massive theft of purchasing power that is executed by these government fiat systems. It's a massive theft. So what this theft causes is people feel robbed, rightly so, and then they start looking for somebody to blame, you know? And again, I'm the victim, and who's doing this to me, you know? And once you feel like a victim and you feel like you've been getting the short end of the stick, your perspective of life starts to change and then you become more aggressive and then you don't think about your children. You don't think about the future generations. It's just me, me, me right now. Me, me, me conmigo. It's all about the me, me, which is unfortunately a growing tendency. That's why this is a huge cancer in the organism, which is the fiat fraud, and it creates other tumors. If you take away one, you left the big one. I think it has a lot to do with this massive thievery, you know? I completely agree. I think our fiat system encourages short-term thinking at the expense of planning for our futures, and it's that high time preference Zefanine talks about. To start to wrap up, people look at the Bitcoin world and they see a lot of wealth concentration, you know, a few whales, and they feel like it's too expensive because they don't understand maybe Satoshi's. But there's a lot of data to actually point that the Bitcoin standard leads to a more egalitarian society because Bitcoin in its finite supply will be distributed more and more, and that's actually what we're seeing. It moves into other hands over time as people sell. Do you believe that with Bitcoin we will have a more egalitarian, meritocratic society than we have now? No, and I don't think it's good.

"But here's the thing. All the advantage of that progress has been robbed and taken away through the fiat system for the benefit of the government. Because what we should have is we should have declining prices all the time. That is the natural order, declining prices. So when these clowns and criminals at the Fed say that they want stability or 2%, I mean, it's such a mockery, you know, because they're keeping all the plus value of technology and productivity. Why? They're thieves. We have a foundation that's built on theft through inflation, right? And they're trying to, some people are writing opinion columns saying we may need 3% inflation. Why do we need any inflation at all? We should not even talk about inflation. We should talk about deflation. We need dropping prices. It's time for another quick break to hear these messages from my partners. Next up, Coinkite, which offers everything you need to safely take custody of your Bitcoin. Coinkite produces the cold card wallet, which is the cold storage device I use for safekeeping my Bitcoin. You can verify the source code, it's ultra secure, and it's easy to use, even if you're a beginner. Head to their website in my show notes to find all of their custody products, cold cards in different colors, seed phrase plates, top signers, block clocks, and more. And you'll get a 5% discount with my link. Become your own bank with Bitcoin and Coinkite. Next up, I want to share with you about crowd health. Health insurance costs are sky high today, and you send your money every month to a fiat corporation, only to never see that money again, even if you don't get sick. But if you do need care, you end up having to pay even more out of pocket. But luckily, there's an alternative, and it's all about community. Crowd health brings together Bitcoiners who crowdfund each other's healthcare. So you no longer have to pay fiat health insurance companies. You get to actually help other Bitcoiners, and they help you in return. So how it works is when you need a doctor or hospital visit, crowd health negotiates down the medical bill lower than what insurance would be, and the community helps you cover the costs. You get to save the money you would have sent to an insurance company, and hey, why not put it into Bitcoin? To sign up, head to joincrowdhealth.com slash Natalie. All right, next up, I'm excited to share that I am an advisor for the Orange Pill app. If you haven't downloaded this app yet, then you're missing out on connecting with Bitcoiners in your area. The Orange Pill app is focused on building the social layer for Bitcoin and helping create opportunities for in-person connections and community building. You create a profile, and you'll see lots of familiar faces, and then you can search for Bitcoiners and Bitcoin events based on your location. Come join us and use the referral link in my show notes to start connecting today. All right, back to the show. We need dropping prices. Why do you think that people are scared of that, the idea of deflation? Well, you know, human nature is such that we're resistant to change. There's lots of people who don't want to change and want to have stability, and that's why there's all kinds of people. You know, you have the workers, and then you have the entrepreneurs, and then you have the capitalists, and then you have the government guys who are professional thieves. And your character determines your beliefs. So some people would like the world not to change. Unfortunately, that's not reality. Things change all the time in all respects. The climate changes, the weather changes, the geology, tectonic plates change, and some species rise, some other species die, everything is changing. And human beings are very ingenious, and they invent new things, and it makes us productive, and it makes us live better, but it changes things.

"And unfortunately, it's very hard to educate people, you know? Very hard. Well, in terms of your education path and learning about Bitcoin, can you talk to me about maybe the journey you went on? Because there seems to be a chasm where you think Bitcoin's interesting, you know? Maybe you're skeptical, but you want to make money on it. And then you cross over into an area where you realize that this is superior money. It is the best engineered money. So how did you get from point A to point B? I have to give credit to my friend, Saif Dinamoush, because of his book, The Bitcoin Standard. He really spelled it out. I mean, what he did is put together in one small book. All the things about Bitcoin, the history of money, how it evolved, and how it's been abused by the government, and how now this thing cannot be abused. It's a Bible, you know? I love it. See, Saif Dinamoush? I have never made a million. He's a billionaire, and we both were transformed by your book. You are someone who goes out, and you are proud of your wealth. Of course. You're proud of your yachts and your beautiful lifestyle. When people look at you and they say you shouldn't flaunt it like that, what is your response? Well, people have been conditioned to think that only a criminal can be rich, and that money is acquired through theft. And it's unfortunately the way they have been educated. But since I'm very proud and confident of the way that I have acquired my wealth, I have no problem with showing what you can do if you put your mind to it. Because, unlike what most people think, I was not born rich. I never had big assets of my own. And all that I have is literally I've acquired it through my work and my ingenious way of acting, you know? So it's not something to be ashamed of. And what happens is people need to have an inspiration, a role model of what's possible. And I want to be that, and I'm doing that for many, many young people. Just this morning, I had a meeting before coming here, another guy that I know, you know, he must be like 40-something. And he said, you have been my inspiration for the past 20 years. So yes, you can be rich. There's nothing glorious about being poor. What's so good about being poor? Well, exactly. I mean, you've got to be rich, right? So let's get rich, all of us. And the way to get rich is with this philosophy of libertarianism where you have property rights and trading rights and the government is limited and you have hard money like Bitcoin and that is the way to get us all rich. Because, you know, humanity has done an immense amount of progress in the past 100 years, 50 years, 20 years, amazing progress.

"The wealth of Mexico was wiped out, except for very few people who had their savings in dollars. And the collateral damage of that is the company that I was working for went broke. So it then happened that I came and reorganized the company, put it out of bankruptcy and built it into what it is today, but it's still with my dad's company. So then when my grandfather passed away, he gave his shares in the company to my uncle, or his children, and they all wanted money. So I said, okay, I'm gonna buy this stock from you, but I'm gonna pay it for you down the line in five years, and that's how I got my first stock in Electra. And it was very difficult. I think I made the first million dollars trading in some plastic containers that we imported from Texas and brought them into the US, into Mexico for Pepsi, and just buying and selling, buying and selling, and making a margin, and that's how I made my money. So at what point did you start to see the fiat system as the fraud that you talk about today? Oh, we're gold bugs from a long time ago. My father became a gold bug in the 70s, and he was convinced before Nixon, the thief, defrauded the whole world by going off the gold standard in 1971, before that, he knew that, my father knew that the fiat thing was unsustainable and that they were gonna have to go off gold. So he convinced my grandfather to buy some gold at $30. And then it went to $800, that was a pretty good trade. So I was there, I was watching all that, and we would talk about it, and you know, just like Bitcoin today. So for me, Bitcoin is like, yeah, duh, same thing, you know. At that time, the only thing that could save you was gold. So now we have gold, still there. But now we have Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is better. My father would hate to hear this. Well, I understand that you kind of got into Bitcoin because you were trading, and you heard about Barry Silbert talking about Bitcoin, and then the trades paid off, and so you decided to learn a little bit more. So can you talk a little bit about that transition? Because for so many folks out there, they can't wrap their heads around it, and even though the current system, they know there are problems with it, they can't understand that there's this alternative that not only can make them money, but could actually fundamentally make everything more equitable and provide more opportunity. Yeah, well, you know, of course the first attraction was, oh, here's an asset that looks very promising because it can do this, you know, it can make payments, it could be stored, it could be divisible, all the nice things about Bitcoin. But these qualities of this asset at that time were not obvious, and so it was priced at $200. Wow. So I went to the conference, and they started to explain to me, it sounds like a good asset. I tell you, I've always been an aggressive guy and looking for adventure, so, you know, I put, you know, a couple hundred thousand dollars into that, and you know, like in 15 days, bingo, it was almost $400. I said, I'm a genius, you know. I'm a genius here. And then I tried to buy some more, and then went to $800 and said, oh, this is too much, I'm selling, you see. So I sold it, made a lot of money, in multiple, you know. But then I started thinking, you know, there's more to this, there's more to this. So I came back, bought again the position, and basically I held it all the way up to I got out around $17,000, so it was one of the best trades of my life as an investor. And I tell you, the reason, the real reason why I didn't get out of the trade, because I could not. Because at that time, I was invested in this damn thing, GBTC, and when it was a private thing, and you could not liquidate it. Oh. You see. So you've been through the whole up and down. What are your, I mean, I have to ask you then, because obviously Grayscale just had this court victory recently. What is your take on that? Because for so many people, that was their first way to invest in Bitcoin in a more traditional account. You know, yeah, it's, when this happened a long time ago, it was not so easy to get a wallet and to put the Bitcoin and to open the exchange. It was like dark magic, you know. So the way for an unsophisticated guy, well, not unsophisticated, but to an ignorant guy is to just buy in the GBTC fund, you know, the Grayscale fund. And they were promising liquidity down the road, but they didn't say when, but basically you were stuck in there. And then they turned it into this fund where now you can buy and sell the shares of the fund. But it has a fundamental mistake, which is they cannot sell the assets and buy back stock to equalize the net asset value. So it has a huge discount to net asset value and they need to change that. So it's a really bad investment vehicle. Well, one of the reasons we had some of the crypto washout that we did is because of that premium closing that so many companies took advantage of. First it was a premium because it was the easy way to buy Bitcoin. And now it turns out it has a discount. But you know, Bitcoin has a problem, which is custody. Not all people, let's put it this way, very few people are ready to custody their money. It's very true. I think that is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to mass adoption because right now we're so comfortable with third parties, with FDIC insurance. So what do you think is the solution? You know, going back to the real banking, a banker is a trusted person who takes care of your assets. And this is what Swiss bankers used to do for a long time and they still do. You buy your gold and you put them in the big vault in Switzerland and they say, we'll take care of you. And they charge you for storage. And this is what's going to happen to Bitcoin. They're going to charge you to store the Bitcoin, but when you die, pass away, they'll have a clear succession plan and it's taken care of by this trusted third party. Do you think also spot Bitcoin ETFs opening up more traditional investment funds and institutions? Will that also allow people to get in on Bitcoin, but not worry as much about the custody aspects? Absolutely. You see, that's another way of avoiding this issue. Funds, ETFs, as you know, have a lot of issues with trust. Basically, they can run off with your money if they want to, and they can freeze your money if they want to. But it's much easier to not be concerned about the keys and the wallet and the cold storage and dah, dah, dah. It's time for a quick break to hear these messages from my partners. First up, Bitcoin Amsterdam. The biggest Bitcoin conference in Europe is just around the corner. The second annual event will be held October 12th and 13th and bring together speakers from around the world, including the one and only Edward Snowden, Stella Assange, Balaji, Eva Vlaardinger broke and so many more. Get your tickets with a 10% discount using code HODL. And don't forget to get your early bird pass to Bitcoin Nashville 2024. You're going to get the best price right now. And again, use code HODL for that discount. I'll see you there. Next up, Fold. Fold is the best Bitcoin rewards debit card and shopping app in the world. You can earn Bitcoin on everything you purchase from Amazon to groceries to your Bitcoin conference ticket with Fold's Bitcoin cashback debit card. And you can play to win free satoshis or even a whole Bitcoin by spinning the rewards wheel. This is a great app to get someone totally new into Bitcoin. And it's way better than earning reward airline miles and hotel points. Head to foldapp.com slash Natalie and you'll get 10,000 satoshis when you sign up for spin or spin plus and spend at least $20 on the card. All right, back to the show. What do you say to people who are concerned about and maybe distrustful of these big companies and institutions that are now looking at Bitcoin very closely, including the BlackRocks and the Vanguards? You know, a lot of people in the U.S., some of my audience, they worry that they've really contributed to some of the wealth concentration. You know, they're very close with the government officials and the central planners. And so people have a lot of distrust in the system and institutions. What do you say to that? Well, you know, people have been defrauded by the fiat fraudsters for years. And now in the past 20 years, it's been something horrific. These clowns, irresponsible criminals have printed eight trillion dollars at the Fed and just to put it in perspective, it was 0.8 and now it's 8.3 trillion in 20 years. I mean, this is the basement of the currency and it leads, must lead to a devaluation of the currency and it will not lead to a default, it will not default. Why? Because they print more money. Exactly. Right? So all this thievery, guess what? There's two ways to obtain wealth, two ways. One is by working and trading and the other one is by stealing. Now when you steal money from someone, he's worse off and I'm better off. And then the money that I spent and the people that are close to me, they're better off. And those guys are not better off. They've been defrauded, right? So that's why you have this polarization. You know, there are lots of people who are feeling that their money is being taken away from them and don't know how exactly. You know, remember that famous phrase by Milton Keynes, who was a monster, but he said, not one man in a million can tell how the government taxes them through inflation. Nobody can tell. So now what about these institutions? Well, because bitcoin is becoming more of a thing and more people are looking to get into bitcoin, the asset managers, which is what they do, the black rocks and the banquets. They're asset managed and if assets come into their funds and they're looking for this kind of asset, they're going to get it. You know, so that's why they're pushing the Fed and the SEC, the SEC mainly and Treasury. They're pushing to get these funds approved. But you know, the government people, the goviernicolas de mierda and look for that translation. Those people, they know exactly what's in play and they're not going to stand for it. So maybe by mistake they'll approve the ETF. There are so many folks out there who are in the working class. Those people have got the short end of the stick. Absolutely. They've been robbed. Right? And this money that's been created has eroded their purchasing power. They've been robbed. And they do well to be upset. But it's not because some guy built a company and his stock is worth business that he's worked badly off. It's because the goddamn thieves, the Fed printed the money and they had spent it in government projects. Right? And there's a lot of bureaucrats that live off of that money. Well, it's interesting. Say Fadina Moose wrote in one of his books, I think it was the Fiat Standard, that there is a marriage between government and the corporations and the central planners. And you don't know who wears the pants in the relationship, but they're all sort of, you know, Wall Street government. Save Dean's books. I like him a lot. I just read this new one, Principle of Economics, it's really good. And that's why I mentioned at the stage that we really need to get back to philosophy. What is your sense of life, like Ayn Rand used to say, what is your sense of life? Do you believe in private property? Okay, well, then you cannot steal it. Do you believe in free trade? Well, then you can't interfere with free exchange. Do you believe in having a family and providing for future generations? Well, then you cannot have the nanny state, you know, you have to choose. Something you've talked about several times is this idea of the government largesse and a welfare state that has ballooned. And we see more and more people feeling like they have to abide. They are coerced essentially to accept a certain form of money that's being inflated away. Their savings are being eroded. But yet they don't recognize, they can't understand that the money is the problem. And they're putting it on left versus right, red versus blue. Why are they wrong? This is not a question of left and right. It's free and slavery. It's freedom and irresponsibility or irresponsible theft. It's not a political question in the sense of the Democrats and the Republicans. Big state is an oppressive machine. And it's good if you're on top of the machine, it's bad if you're on the bottom of the machine being oppressed, you know. So there's this confusion and the education system does no good because you're teaching everybody to obey. Well you speak out a lot against the powers that be, the central bankers, and you put really your reputation and even your business on the line. Have you been hurt in any way or do you think that actually because you're speaking for so many people and the frustration they feel that it's actually helped you? Well help for what or damage how? The damage I get is, you know, people with opinions, talking that I'm this or I'm that, very disagreeable adjectives being thrown at me. But by and large, you know, I'm an important presence in Twitter and TikTok and Instagram. And I have a lot of fans now, I've become very famous when people want to take a picture with me, you know, want to talk to me. It's okay, but I'm immune to that, okay. I'm way past the stage where looking at your reputation is important. I don't care about my reputation. I know what I am. So they can say whatever they want, good or bad, I don't care. But in terms of business, it's hurt because, you know, these government people, they don't take it lightly and they don't like me pointing them out. So I have a lot of enemies in the government and they're dangerous guys because, you know, they're like scorpions, they're just waiting there and when you're not looking at night, it's sting you. So do you think it's realistic that the Bitcoin standard is adopted around the world when the powers that be are incentivized to try to stop it to maintain their monopoly on money? I don't think there will be a Bitcoin standard. I think there will be the emergence of Bitcoin as a new form of money, a better form of money, a much desired form of money. And this will happen in spite of everything that these goddamn government bureaucrats tried to throw at it. It's going to happen because people are going to figure it out and then there's no way to stop them. You know, you download a wallet, if you have Internet, download a wallet, you trade your coin, your fiat for some coins and there you are. So I think our job, my job as a businessman and somebody who thinks is to get people aboard so that they don't feel left out later, you know. How do you explain capitalism to people today who just assume everything is about corporate greed, the reason we have wealth concentration is because of the wealthy and the powerful. How do you bridge that gap and talk about the importance of a businessman, of capital, of investing and taking that risk? Because entrepreneurship and innovation, that is what carries us forward and allows us to create abundance. You know, capitalism is a term that was invented by a communist. It's a disparaging term invented by a communist, a follower of Karl Marx, to describe a condition where as the owners of the money are ruling the world, okay? So if that is capitalism, I'm not a capitalist, but we need to, and we talked about this earlier, we really need to be clear with language and with concepts, what are we talking about here, right? So on the one hand, do you believe in the right to the fruits of your work? Everybody does because they're working here. Who is against keeping what he works for, right? So that's a property right, and your time is the most valuable property, right? So you invest your time and then you get paid, and immediately you're stolen, somebody steals the money from you with income tax, immediately you're subject of thievery from the central government. So property rights are number one. Second, do you believe in free trade? Like if I have some water and you have an apple, is it okay if we trade it? No, of course, freedom. So it has to be 100% libertarian, yeah? And now we can start talking. That is a system that I want. It should be called capitalism, but unfortunately that name has been prostituted. And what we have today is a perversion of the big state where the businesses are locked together with the government and enjoying enormous privileges that, only for themselves, that are not accrued to the small business. So that is crony capitalism. That's not capitalism. There's crony thieves getting together to exploit the people. And why is that? Because there's too much regulation, because there's no free trade, because there's funny money, right? There's no freedom. So that is not capitalism.

I just learned, actually, that Ricardo Salinas-Pliego, it's because the first last name is your father, second is your... I didn't know that that's how you worked in Mexico. Well, in Mexico and in general, Latin countries, we have this big family tradition and a way to respect the families, to recognize that your mother also counts. Love it. I love that. Yes. Well, I want to hear a little bit more about your upbringing. I want to start the story at the beginning. Can you tell me what it was like growing up here in Mexico? I was a very bad boy. You were a bad boy? Very bad boy. Very unruly and like a savage, wild guy looking for adventure. Why? I liked adventure. What can I say? In terms of your understanding of money, what was your sense of money growing up? Did you feel always comfortable? I was always poor. Okay. I had no money. I hate that feeling. Yeah. It's terrible. As a matter of fact, I have a story about that when I think I might have been like 10 or 12 years old, and my father sent me out on a trip to Disneyland and to the US, and then fly across to New York and the World Fair, and he gave me $100 for a one-month trip. I think after three days, I spent it all, and I spent the rest of the trip feeling like a beggar with my other friends who had more money. It was a terrible feeling. I don't like it, and I'm not planning on going back to that. Did you always strive to achieve great wealth? What was your path in terms of achieving success in your career? Well, it took me a long time, because even though I started working first on my own, then with other companies, and my father offered me a job in his company, and that company belonged to my grandfather and my father, and it was their company, not my company. I started working for them, and both of them, especially my father, they're very stingy, miserable with their money, so they pay me a miserable salary. Then after the 80s, disaster here in Mexico when, as I mentioned, the price of the dollar went from 20 pesos to one dollar, to today, which is 17,000 pesos per dollar. But in the 80s, just between 1982 and 1988, it went from 20 to 3,000. So everybody was wiped out.

A highlight from How Cece Meadows Built a Cosmetics Line as an Homage to Indigenous Beauty
"C .C. Meadows has survived a lot. Ovarian cancer, domestic abuse, a period where she and her kids were homeless. Today, she runs a makeup line, Parados Beauty, and as you're going to hear in the telling of her story, all of that hardship and all of that struggle only doubled C .C.'s commitment to giving back. C .C. shares how her indigenous roots informed her vision of beauty, the financial mechanics of fulfilling huge product orders, and how her retail partnership with e -commerce site 13 Loon and JCPenney catapulted Parados Beauty into profitability. C .C., thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me. So, C .C., you grow up outside of Yuma, Arizona, the eldest of four children, and you describe it as a pretty rough upbringing. Can you give me a sense of what that looked like and the lessons that you were growing up with? My parents were fairly young. I think my mom was 17 when she had me. My dad was like a cowboy on a cattle ranch. He started working there when he was like 14. We didn't really have a lot. I remember my parents telling us that we were rich in love because we had each other. I think that that's like a normal thing that you say to kids because you literally have nothing. My grandparents were a big, big part of my childhood growing up. I actually didn't even speak English when I went to kindergarten because I was raised pretty much in my grandparents' home and they only spoke Spanish and like traditional Yoemi language, but I loved school because, you know, we had breakfast and lunch and then eat dinner at my grandparents' house and saw these three jolitos and rice and squash. I hated squash for the longest time because I ate it so much as a kid, but, you know, we didn't really have a lot. It was really rough. The way you tell it, I mean, it feels to me like your life sort of took off like a rocket ship in the sense that like a lot of kids who are living in homes that are under resourced, school for you becomes a refuge and you do really well in school and school is a place where you thrive. You even become the first person in your family to graduate from college. You get big jobs out of school. You're making six figures working in finance. You get married, you have a baby girl, and then things are going up, up, up, up, up, and then you get sick. Tell me how you go from being a self -described successful person to being absolutely broke. Yeah, so I had just separated from my first husband. I got married super young. I was 21 years old when I got married, divorced, you know, or separated at 25. Between 25 and 27, like I continued working in finance and being successful and learning how to shuffle a co -parenting schedule with him and he was great. He's always been great, but I started dating somebody after my marriage ended and it was great when it was great and it was awful when it wasn't. And so I'm a survivor of domestic abuse and I feel like being in that relationship was just the kickoff of this domino effect of just unfortunate circumstances that started happening in my life. I'm diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 27. I've always had like women issues, menstruation issues. I would get ultrasounds pretty often and they were just following, you know, you get polyps and you get like cysts and things like that. They were following just one that just kept growing and they're just like, you know what, we're going to have to go in and biopsy this, like it looks like it's growing. And so they caught it very early. I'm super lucky, but I did one round of chemo. I didn't have the long -term disability option to just stay home and so I went back to work, you know, I was wearing my scarves and I just was too sick to work and I had to stay home eventually and I just didn't have the resources to be able to live. And so I ended up going through remission and then I had my son the following year. He was just a little bit over two months and I moved in with my ex and he was an alcoholic. And I found myself holding a newborn baby, being kicked out of the house and the only thing I could grab was, you know, a box of diapers that were by the door and I didn't have anywhere to go. Ultimately, that led me to being homeless and sleeping in Walmart parking lots just because I literally had nowhere to go. How do you begin to pull yourself out? Oh man, a lot of hope and a lot of prayer. I had a 2006 Super Sport Monte Carlo and it had a moonroof on it and we were sleeping in a Walmart parking lot and it had just stopped raining and the clouds kind of opened up and you could see the stars and, you know, I'm holding my baby and I'm looking at this moonroof and you could see the stars so clearly and this is like in the Salinas, California area and so it's like always foggy and you don't really get like a clear view of the stars but I remember my little girl looking up and she was like, oh, look, it's the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper and she just, you know, she was only five and I always, you know, would talk to her about how we come from the stars and I remember her placing her little hand on my son, placed it on top of his head, I was holding him kind of like this and she looked at me and she said, Mommy, we're not really camping, are we? And think I for me, as a mother, there was no like other feeling to feel like a failure in that moment and I thought to myself, she's watching me, she's watching what I'm doing and she's watching what I put up with and she's watching where I brought her and, you know, kids are so resilient and you can like try to hide things from them but there was no hiding that from her and it was in that very moment that I decided that I needed to pull everything that I possibly could out of like myself, what I had left, what little I felt inside of self -worth and self -love and I needed to really focus on that because what I was doing was I was allowing a life, you know, time of, you know, at 28 years old, I was letting 28 years of things just fester and not getting like the therapy that I needed for myself so that I could learn what had happened to me and why and how I needed to stop it with myself so that my children didn't have to suffer the way that I was at that moment and so I ended up calling a friend of mine who was also having a hard time and I asked her like, hey, where did you go, you know, to get help? I was ready to go stay like in a homeless shelter and she was like, you can actually go stay with me at my brother's house if you need somewhere to go and I remember all I had was my two kids and like a laundry basket that I kept in the back of my car a couple of days just turned into us staying in an empty room that they had for a little bit over a year and I started going to cosmetology school.

Amanda Gorman's poem for Biden's inauguration banned by Florida school
"A complaint from a parent is landed a poem written for President Biden's inauguration on a restricted list at a Florida elementary school. It's not clear what in the poem the hill we climb by Amanda Gorman is objectionable to a Miami Lake's parent, but daily Salinas says she doesn't favor eliminating or censoring any books, but she does want materials to be appropriate for students. Florida's governor Ron DeSantis has made headlines with his policies that promote books censorship. The nation's first national youth poet laureate then 17 year old Amanda Gorman, said her poem, which was read January 20th, 2021, was intended to be a message of hope, without ignoring the evidence of Discord and division in the country. In response to the restrictions at the school. She says she's gutted and concerned that authorities are robbing children of the chance to find their voices in literature. I'm Jackie Quinn

People Chanting "Selena" at Justin and Hailey Bieber at Met Gala
"Talked about this a little bit last episode during the met gala when we mention justin bieber and haley bieber. There were people chanting selena's name when they're on the red carpet and everyone was wondering why Haley justin look a little sad could be because people were screaming selena's name ireland baldwin then came to the defense of justin and haley so ireland commented saying you know they're one of the happiest and most in love couples. I've ever gotten the chance to be around Because the Talk the talk had said like oh sleeper. Fans like trying to ruin their red carpet moment of she wrote. They don't care about them crying. Laughing emoji there one the happiest and most love couples. I i know that like they normally don't address this stuff. Especially the salinas stuff. I feel like hailey is really tried to stay away from talking about it because it always blows up until a much bigger thing. But i do think it is nice to have a ma like small comment from a family member jump in there. Because i don't know personally. I just feel like i was haley. It it blows up so much and you probably want to just ignore it and you know that if a friend or family member says says something this story just continues. But it's gotta feel kinda nice of somebody defend you.

El Genio Lucas: Cambiando Mi Nombre a Pablo Lucas
"NOCHE. UNA NOCHE IBA Yo, salí al baño de una de las oficinas, y de noche trabajaba don Román Alfonso el tigre de oro, que fue el que me puso el genio, pero eso se lo voy a contar. Más adelante, porque yo me llamaba Pablo Lucas, Alexis Anaya era el programador, entonces a veces llegaban y preguntaban por Alexis, y salía yo, ah no, Alexis. Alexis, sí. Y yo era Álex, entonces dije, ¿sabes qué, carnal? Te voy a cambiar el nombre porque la gente se confunde y no me gusta eso. Ah, no te preocupes, y me dijo, pero mira, como te apellidas Lucas y te voy a poner Pablo porque San Pablo, junto con Lucas, es un hombre muy fuerte, tienen una presencia espiritual, y la gente te puede querer, y me gustó la idea. Sí. Entonces cuando yo le decía a mi mamá, me llamo Pablo Lucas, mi mamá decía ¿y por qué te llamas Pablo? Si te llamas Alejandro. Yo te puse Alejandro. Alejandro. Es que la radio a veces necesita de esas cosas, ma. Bueno, a ella no le pareció mucho la idea. Y es cierto, ¿no? Porque ella quería presumir que su hijo se llamaba Alejandro y trabajaba en la radio. Claro. Y y le dijo un día un señor, oye pues yo pasé por Salinas y oí la radio pero pues no hay nadie que se llame como tu hijo, o es que se llama Pablo o que la canción la canción la cambiaron.

"Ocasión me acuerdo también que me decían, si tú hicieras lo mismo que haces en Salinas, ¿crees tendrías el mismo éxito en otras ciudades, ellos hablaban de Los Ángeles, se veía muy difícil que yo llegara a la ciudad de Los Ángeles, y para hacerlo tendrían que irme a vivir hasta Los Ángeles, pero bendito sea Dios, mira, me quedé trabajando en la ciudad de Salinas y -- A Nueva York. -- a Los Ángeles, aquí a las vegas y a tantas ciudades y bueno debido a tanto premio, tanto reconocimiento a la industria el señor Alfredo Alonso Le interesa mi trabajo y me invita a trabajar a Nueva York. Te invita. ¿Qué pasó ahí? Pasó algo muy curioso. Él me dice, bueno, Alex, quiero que venga cuando sea la gente de este lado, él es cubano. Y más adelante vuelve a aparecer este señor Alonso, pero ya de una manera no muy agradable, terminamos en, pues con diferentes opiniones, pero mi cariño y mi respeto por la primera oportunidad al darse cuenta de lo que yo estaba haciendo, entonces me dice quiero que vengas a Nueva York, cuando yo llego a Nueva York me presenta como si yo ya fuera a trabajar ahí. O sea, yo nada más iba a conocer. Yo llego a Nueva York Por la tarde eran como las cinco de la tarde, tal y como a las cinco de la mañana de California llegó a las cinco de la tarde a Nueva York y me dice, mañana por la mañana quiero que vengas y vas a conocer los estudios y a la gente, me presento esa tarde al señor Alarcón, yo hallé en los estudios de Nueva York, no emocionado, sino este -- Poco de miedoso. -- miedoso porque dije, aquí vine aquí y empiezo a caminar, por Nueva York, la gente no era amable.

Entonces este llamo a la radio y pregunto por Gregorio Esquivel. Y me contesta, ¿sí? ¿Qué pasó? Digo, ya llegué a a la estación de autobuses. Estoy en Salinas aquí. Dice, muy bien, espérame ahora voy por ti. No me contó en ese momento. Ya le digo cuándo me lo contó, pero pasó la siguiente situación, cuando llega él por mí a la estación de autobuses y cuando me ve dijo, Elio Gómez me mandó a un niño. Yo no quiero ser niñera, me voy a regresar a la radio, voy a llamar a la escuela y que me manden a otro voy a decir que no vi a nadie y mejor opté por regresarme. O sea, me iba a dejar ahí. Ay, así de serio. ¿Su hijo te lo dijo así de serio o no fue? Fue bromeando. No, no fue fue serio. Yo pensé que era broma. Y entonces Gregorio dice, y cuando iba de regreso a la radio, no sé por qué, pero se me quedó grabada tu cara de menso. Y dije pobre bato, vienes de tan lejos. Ah, voy a ir por él, a ver qué sale. A ver qué sale. Se estacionó frente a mí y me dijo, Alejandro, Sí, señor, súbete. Y bueno, pues entonces ya íbamos a robar la sensación de de radio, pero nunca me dijo lo que planeaba hacer, en ese momento no me lo dijo. Entonces ya me puso a prueba, empecé a grabar, empezó a platicar conmigo, me conoció, y el día viernes me dice, amigo, ve por tus cosas, porque te quedas en Salinas.

Selena And Abraham
"In early march twenty twenty. I was on a plane on my way from boston. to corpus. christi. Texas selena's hometown. It was the early days of twenty twenty the before the country was still flying. People were still out in the street. I'd gone dancing the night before albeit a hand sanitizer on every ten minutes so i was tired on the plane but i couldn't sleep. I was ansi. My stomach was in knots and it wasn't just because of the impending pandemic. I was on my way to a month long reporting trip in texas interviewing scholars fans and all kinds of people for this podcast. Accept this podcast. Of course didn't exist yet and that's because the whole theme hinged on the first leg of this trip this is when i hope to meet with abraham gained nia salinas fall who's notoriously protective of her image and music. I'd hope to land an interview with him and also ask him to let us license some of selena's songs for the podcast. My is thinking was no music rights. No podcast before this plane right to texas. Our producers have been working on securing those music rights for a few months. We'd had to wrangle all these parties songwriters record labels small publishers and convinced them that the project was worthy of selena's music. But i knew that the final deciding yes or no would come from. Selena's family manage to reach selena's father abraham on the phone a couple of times before he wasn't really interested in interviews said too many reporters had asked him to many foolish questions. I told him. Oh this podcast. It's an oh to selena. It's rooted in love. I wanna show her legacies true impact and he was like everyone wants to do that when he heard disappointment in my voice. He told me not to feel bad. He rejected journalists every day. Meanwhile i heard from the record label. They said selena's family would not approve our request to license her music. I tried reaching abraham again. I emailed him left two messages. Nothing so back on the plane. I wondered how things would go down. Abraham knew when i'd be in corpus christi but he'd stopped short of setting an official meeting with me either way. I felt like i had to at least try to talk to him. But i felt this apprehension. This like skittish feeling. I've been a journalist for fifteen years. I've met plenty of people who make me nervous but this fell like there was so much more at stake yes to some degree because of the music rights to some degree because of his famous temper but really it was because abraham felt like such a big part of selena's story a foundational part. He wasn't just her father. He was her manager. Her mentor and selena. Talked about him all the time. My influences were. I would say oh my father. My father used to have a ban the way back. When and i guess it's where we get the musical talent brahmin and i don't really remember seeing or hearing about salina's mom allah growing up. But i remember knowing. About abraham. I was eleven.

And she's been helping them out. Hi, Hannah. Hi. How are you? Great. Thank you will tell me what your neighborhood look like with all these mudslides. Yes. So Wednesday morning, we drove down our driveway to go take a look and see if anyone needed some help, And we could not make it all the way down due to all the debris, the mud rocks and just so much water had gone overnight and ruined the road and had also woken up our neighbors. Mid sleep and their home is now covered in mud and will be turned down within the next few days. Oh, my gosh. And I guess that happened relatively quickly, right just happened overnight. It did happen very quickly. It happened overnight. It woke them up, and luckily they did survive. Everyone is okay and stayed with the minor injuries and they're doing well and They were at the hospital, and we saw that. You know, the weather has been getting worse and we had a quick break in the rain.

So there were a lot of people in the community coming to get their horses and making sure that the animals were all safe and luckily, they save the animals. People were pulling sheep out of the mud. And you know this is your livelihood, and it just always washed away in one night. Very well. And this is mainly because that area was also the site of the of a big fire, right and you had to evacuate last August. Yes. So the river fire forced us all to evacuate, including my family and the burn scars really ruined the property of the hills.

On January the 14th to have a beautiful Case a produce. And eggs and milk, and I got to thinking You know it wasn't that long ago in this country. That you only had food available on a seasonal basis. And I think that you could have eggs. Something like an egg that is so fragile. And yet you open that 18 Pack carton. Actually, I did have one that had a crack in it. And how rare is that? How many miles did that egg that carton of eggs, travel? And yet they're safe. They're clean and rarely do they have a claque.

Finding Positive Places Online
"Today we're talking about digital self care so nicole had come across a mention of this. This on lied. They called it a self care crawl so in trying to understand what that meant. We decided we just talk about Sort of feel good stops online feel-good places to go online since we can't really go anywhere in person right now so when you're when you're looking to just maybe blow a little steam or just have a little hit of endorphins. Where do you go online nicole. You had some. You had some ideas in mind or you have a little kind of. Yeah will i. I mean yeah so first of all the title was attractive because it may be thinking of other types of crawls around college days liver sadly lost in news core. yeah time but It actually was kind of an interesting idea. Because i thought you know when i if i have been working all day or if i've been out about or If i've been doing housework what am i kind of ways that i carve out time for myself is a computer and then i have like my favorite sites that i go to or you know things that i do is kind of like a little routine right. That's gonna wear. I can escape for a few minutes. I'm not having to shop for anybody. I'm not having to make appointments for anybody. Not having to send emails. Anybody is kinda like that little time that myself and of course you know it's like a total luxury to even dream about some of these things for example you know one of my favorite. To's is the ralph lauren website. And i liked the look at you. Know what's on that site and And then another one of my favorites doubt stops as the kate spade website so this kind of a trend right out the window shopping. But on down cle- yes that's awesome with the online. And then of course i always go to a couple of my favorite facebook groups and check out that because there's really nothing ever negative. That happens on there so that's good and In my face yeah right right kind of a little bit of a Doesn't really make sense. But yeah so i thought we could just kind of expand more on that i mean. What do i mean. I'm sure you both have some of your favorite stops online. That you that you go to or that's part of your day or your routine. So yeah kind of elaborate on the like what or do you just kinda do your work shut your computer down and then you move on. I used to have a list of really fun. Twitter accounts that i would go on and that we made a little bit of respite. I would go and see what all those people were saying. There were always funny and entertaining and then politics happened and twitter just became a surging cesspool of strife and anger. And i couldn't go there anymore because my fun little entertaining twitter people had opinions on things and whether agreed with them or not. It just made me mad. So i had to step away from twitter and facebook also friends who i used to enjoy following to see what was happening in their day day to day life also had opinions and again whether i agreed or disagreed it all just made me angry and that is not what you're looking for when you're doing your self care crawl so i found recently a combination of snoozing everybody who is melting off and joining a a facebook group that was extremely positive and extremely prolific. Pretty much gave me a safe place to go and just sort of reveling in salinas and fun. That for me was a. It's a group of fans of the bobby bones show. They call themselves the b. team. They sort of singlehandedly. Got him memorable ball trophy on dancing with the stars and they have this facebook group that they mentioned it on the show and so it grew by like i think ten thousand people over long it got very large but it's generally not one hundred percent because people are people but it's generally very positive and just go to my newsfeed now in its all be team and that's just fine q. Pictures people's kids fund things that happened on the show pictures that where they saw bobby bones at a concert as just very entertaining in very low stress and very enjoyable so that has been a real self care thing. I highly recommend snoozing all your friends. You don't wanna see right now. Look joining something where people will talk about nonsense
