00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:50,239 keeps marching on and the thing that 70 00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:52,480 will really make us happy and healthy is 71 00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:53,599 distance 72 00:02:57,670

that 137 00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:20,479 really quite fortunate to be living here 138 00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:23,199 as i say on the podcast i wake up every 139 00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:25,360 morning and kiss the ground greg i moved 140 00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,680 my family up here from redondo beach 141 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:29,440 california kind of down by where you're 142 00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:31,919 at i actually grew up in socal in orange 143 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:32,880 county 144 00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,840 and then the day before trump came in 145 00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:37,520 the office it just kind of happened to 146 00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:39,440 be when we closed on our house and moved 147 00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:42,320 up here i moved my entire family up from 148 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:45,360 los angeles area to this very remote 149 00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:47,600 piece of california where in actually in 150 00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:50,080 del norte county we call it the great 151 00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,160 state of jefferson which is really more 152 00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,479 of a mindset than anything but it's 153 00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,400 funny most people in california don't 154 00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:58,080 even know this county exists and we kind 155 00:06:03,430 --> 00:05:59,680 of like it like that 156 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:03,440 so it's uh it's a great place yes we are 157 00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:06,160 very close to where they shot return of 158 00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:10,080 the jedi and e.t among some other films 159 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,360 so we're only about 25 miles from the 160 00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:15,759 coast but we're just inland enough to 161 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:17,520 where we're not really hit by the 162 00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,080 coastal inversion so we have this like 163 00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:22,160 perfect micro climate for growing the 164 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:24,639 herbs that we grow on the farm with our 165 00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:27,520 our main crop jiao gulan the t of 166 00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:30,560 immortality which dr berlando is a 167 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:33,199 master at growing outside of asia and 168 00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:35,280 that's kind of one of our premium 169 00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:36,240 premier 170 00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:39,039 adaptogens that we grow biodynamically 171 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,400 on the farm 172 00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,560 using the beautiful waters from the 173 00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:44,880 smith river which is the only undammed 174 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:47,039 river in california and one of the 175 00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:50,800 purest rivers really in north america so 176 00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:52,960 that was really what drew me here was 177 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:55,440 not only the remoteness getting away 178 00:07:01,670 --> 00:06:58,639 from the big cities but also being on a 179 00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:01,680 body of water or on a water flow that is 180 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:04,639 that special and pure because a lot of 181 00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,960 times what we talk about on alpha caste 182 00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:08,960 is the importance of water and how we 183 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:10,479 really don't even understand what water 184 00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:12,400 is in many respects in terms of 185 00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:15,759 mainstream science and by 186 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:18,400 engaging with the river every day 187 00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:21,280 my soul is lifted and we drink from it 188 00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:24,560 we bathe in it and we use it to water 189 00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:26,479 our crops so 190 00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:29,280 yeah it's a magical place and somewhere 191 00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:31,360 we would love for you to visit sometime 192 00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:34,560 i appreciate that i would love to and 193 00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,479 the river was definitely one of those 194 00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:37,840 things i wanted to make sure we 195 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,000 highlighted because i love the pacific 196 00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:42,960 northwest and areas like colorado 197 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:44,800 probably more than any other natural 198 00:07:50,309 --> 00:07:47,360 landscape and i'm down here at the end 199 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:50,319 of the completely compromised colorado 200 00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:53,440 river but the pictures i've seen of the 201 00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:55,360 smith river they do look great as you 202 00:08:00,070 --> 00:07:57,120 say on the site it is 203 00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:00,080 known as one of the cleanest rivers in 204 00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,960 north america and as you say water is 205 00:08:06,309 --> 00:08:04,560 super important 206 00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:06,319 you actually did a really interesting 207 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:08,960 podcast recently with a woman named vada 208 00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:11,280 austin a water researcher and water 209 00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:13,039 photographer and you guys talked about 210 00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:13,759 the 211 00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:16,960 victor shawburger story where he would 212 00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:18,000 discuss 213 00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:20,000 the fact that he could meditate near the 214 00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:22,800 river and get into this weird state 215 00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:24,560 where the water would carry his 216 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:26,639 consciousness off and then he'd snap 217 00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:29,280 back into it with a knowledge download 218 00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:32,240 from the river and i just find that 219 00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:34,479 story really provocative obviously it 220 00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:38,080 fueled him to go deeper into water and 221 00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:39,919 veda's work sounded really interesting 222 00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,719 too 223 00:08:44,389 --> 00:08:43,120 i'm curious how you guys do optimize 224 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:44,399 water there it seems like you already 225 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:47,200 got a good base level but do you drink 226 00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:50,240 it vortexed or implement any other water 227 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:53,440 related optimization techniques 228 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:54,399 yeah 229 00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:57,040 great question that's really dr lando's 230 00:09:02,230 --> 00:08:59,920 forte and where his specialty lies so we 231 00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:02,240 pull the water out of the river the farm 232 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:05,279 is off grid so it's our main source of 233 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:08,240 water besides some rain catchment and 234 00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:11,279 that is been vortex correct and used not 235 00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:13,200 only through the vortex brewer for the 236 00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:15,519 compost teas and things that he makes 237 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:18,720 but also used for his ormus and things 238 00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:21,360 that we create for our products and in 239 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:24,800 doing so we are pulling from pure 240 00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:27,680 natural consciousness of a structured 241 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:29,760 likeness that is really 242 00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:32,480 representative of the actual 243 00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:34,080 i guess you could call it the gaia 244 00:09:38,230 --> 00:09:35,600 consciousness 245 00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:38,240 and this water is extremely structured 246 00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:39,760 because of the way it flows through the 247 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,680 bedrock and out through springs it's a 248 00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:43,360 spring-driven river 249 00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:47,440 so it is very important for how we grow 250 00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:50,320 but also for internally for our internal 251 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,560 milo of our terrain because we are 252 00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:54,640 terrain specialists and and we could 253 00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:56,880 talk a little bit about that today greg 254 00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:59,279 but how important it is to be taking in 255 00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:01,279 structured water 256 00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:04,720 one thing that i like to do what i'll do 257 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,560 is i'll take the structured water from 258 00:10:10,069 --> 00:10:08,399 well i'll take the smith river water and 259 00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,079 then i'll actually i have my own little 260 00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:12,399 vortex brewer in the kitchen here 261 00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:14,560 and then i will put some of our zero 262 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:16,800 point in and that's like my morning 263 00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:18,720 breakfast really 264 00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:20,320 and then of course the other thing that 265 00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,959 bear and i are big big fans of 266 00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:24,240 are the 267 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,160 wim hof style 268 00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:28,240 ice water dips especially this time of 269 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,040 year 270 00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:31,440 so i will go down to the river i have a 271 00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:34,160 little pool eddie that i go into and i 272 00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:35,839 do three minutes i do my breath work 273 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:37,760 then i go in and i sit in for three 274 00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:40,560 minutes and unlike an ice bath which is 275 00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:42,399 more of a traditional wim hof method and 276 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:44,240 i'm sure many of your listeners are 277 00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,399 familiar with the wim hof method 278 00:10:50,949 --> 00:10:48,079 which is the idea of right cold 279 00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:50,959 submersion with breath work 280 00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:53,600 most people will do an ice bath where 281 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,320 they submerge themselves in oftentimes 282 00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:58,959 god forbid tap water with ice and so i 283 00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:01,120 feel like by doing this in a flowing 284 00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:03,360 alive river especially something as pure 285 00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:05,120 as the smith river or what we really 286 00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:07,200 should call the haiuchi river which is 287 00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:09,360 the native american indigenous name for 288 00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:10,480 it 289 00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:12,160 there's an information flow coming 290 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,480 through information fields that dr lando 291 00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:16,480 would explain much better than i in 292 00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:19,040 terms of the waveform mechanics of it 293 00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:20,000 but 294 00:11:23,990 --> 00:11:22,240 my cells must structured water and my 295 00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:24,000 cells are talking with the river and 296 00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:25,680 getting information 297 00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:27,519 this is actually we talked about a bit 298 00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:28,880 with veda why 299 00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:31,600 animals dogs for instance will naturally 300 00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:33,519 prefer going out and i don't know if you 301 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:35,920 have a dog greg but if you notice after 302 00:11:39,269 --> 00:11:37,120 a rain 303 00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:39,279 my dog loves to go drink the water out 304 00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:41,040 of a dirty puddle we'll actually prefer 305 00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:43,680 to do that than drink out of his own her 306 00:11:47,829 --> 00:11:45,839 own bowl in the house and that's because 307 00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:47,839 there's actual information fields 308 00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:50,399 attached to that structured water 309 00:11:55,269 --> 00:11:53,040 and what's exciting about this idea is 310 00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:55,279 what we kind of postulated with the veda 311 00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:57,680 podcast is that that could very well be 312 00:12:01,910 --> 00:11:59,839 the future of communication and i 313 00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:01,920 believe actually ancient cultures and 314 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:04,959 technologies used water structured water 315 00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:07,360 to actually um communicate with each 316 00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:09,760 other across long distances through a 317 00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:11,760 more fractal holographic form of 318 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,279 communication that is actually more 319 00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:15,040 natural for humans than what we're 320 00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:16,800 currently doing in the simulacrum of 321 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:19,680 digital ones and zeros 322 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:22,160 cheers to that yeah i agree water is 323 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:24,399 definitely fascinating we know it can 324 00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:26,880 carry information so in the natural 325 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:29,440 context in the holistic system why 326 00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:31,920 wouldn't that be a major component of it 327 00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:33,360 that we're 328 00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:36,079 overlooking in modern times but i did 329 00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:37,680 want to talk about your store a little 330 00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:39,360 bit because you mentioned the tea of 331 00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:41,200 immortality that was something i was 332 00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,120 planning on asking you about because 333 00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:45,440 that's a very provocative name but you 334 00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:48,480 also sell a lot of things broken up by 335 00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:50,639 the benefit that people are looking for 336 00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:53,760 from relaxing to longevity and i'm 337 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,560 probably most interested in the energy 338 00:13:00,790 --> 00:12:58,959 and think categories to counterbalance 339 00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:00,800 my stoner tendencies because i can't 340 00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:03,600 stop mike but tell us about some of 341 00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:07,120 these things like primal essence chaga 342 00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:09,839 coffee illuminated gold super conductive 343 00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:11,120 minerals and 344 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:14,560 gaesha chai 345 00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:15,440 so 346 00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:18,000 yeah i'm with you man i'm i'm a fan of 347 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:20,800 the sativa personally because i like to 348 00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:24,240 go go go but yes in terms of the ability 349 00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:24,959 to 350 00:13:28,949 --> 00:13:26,880 and i'm not a fan of like the quote 351 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:28,959 unquote bio hacking 352 00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,720 concepts right we're not really doing 353 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,800 that we're just working with mother 354 00:13:38,069 --> 00:13:35,200 nature in how she was designed to help 355 00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:38,079 us out so everything we do is 356 00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:41,920 naturally derived from herbs botanicals 357 00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:44,320 we don't really get into the nortropic 358 00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:46,399 space or any of that everything is all 359 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:49,839 from mother nature herself and luckily 360 00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:52,320 we have bear lando the master alchemist 361 00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:54,399 and herbalist who really is the 362 00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:57,040 formulator so this all comes from his 363 00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:00,639 genius mind of 40 years experience as a 364 00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:02,480 not only a biodynamic farmer but of 365 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:04,880 course a bio terrain specialist where he 366 00:14:09,430 --> 00:14:07,600 has applied all of these different 367 00:14:11,509 --> 00:14:09,440 recipes if you will within his own 368 00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:11,519 practice and seen the results so this is 369 00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:13,920 all results driven 370 00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:15,440 empirically 371 00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:17,199 satisfied 372 00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:20,160 product line that's it like i said 30 35 373 00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:22,240 40 years in development 374 00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:25,519 but yeah in terms of the products i can 375 00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:27,839 give you a little recommendation greg on 376 00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:30,320 and to help you out one of my favorite 377 00:14:33,670

thermogenic and guayusa if 381 00:14:43,829 --> 00:14:41,600 you're not familiar with that is kind of 382 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:43,839 like an herba mate it comes down from 383 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,440 ecuador that we have a partnership with 384 00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:49,440 a company called runa down there and you 385 00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:51,360 may have seen aruna drinks in your

00:15:08,959 less bitter 395 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,240 more 396 00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:12,720 smooth energetic than 397 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:13,839 mate 398 00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:16,399 and i really love it and it's actually 399 00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:17,839 what bear lando 400 00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:19,680 is a big fan and we blend that with our 401 00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:21,519 jiao gulon which is one of the best 402 00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:23,760 adaptogens in the world called the t of 403 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,079 immortality for a reason and in the 404 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:28,959 secret the secret greg is to blend it 405 00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:32,160 with coconut oil or or raw butter this 406 00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:33,680 has been made very 407 00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:35,519 trendy with the bulletproof 408 00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:38,639 trend which good old dave asprey right 409 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:40,959 took to the mainstream but this is a 410 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:44,160 thousands year old technology that the 411 00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:46,160 monks of tibet have been using with yak 412 00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:47,040 butter 413 00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:48,639 for forever 414 00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:50,320 and all you're doing is you're taking 415 00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:52,399 the caffeine and you're blending it and 416 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:54,639 essentially encapsulating it in a fat 417 00:15:58,470 --> 00:15:55,839 lipid 418 00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:58,480 to allow for a slower release a slower 419 00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:00,240 burn of the caffeine so you don't get 420 00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:02,880 that peak that boost of caffeine and 421 00:16:07,829 --> 00:16:04,240 then the crash 422 00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:07,839 so it's a wonderful way to extend the 423 00:16:11,829 --> 00:16:09,680 beautiful effects of caffeine and i know 424 00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:11,839 in the health world there's a lot of 425 00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:14,160 controversy about caffeine 426 00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:16,560 and a lot of people have been bashing my 427 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:19,120 my wonderful coffee of late saying that 428 00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:21,279 it's about as bad as sugar 429 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:23,279 and just like anything if you approach 430 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:25,360 these things in a way that fits your 431 00:16:30,629 --> 00:16:28,720 lifestyle in a responsible grown-up way 432 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,639 and you do it in the most appropriate 433 00:16:34,629 --> 00:16:32,720 way for you i feel like 434 00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:34,639 we can use these things to our benefit 435 00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:35,839 and so 436 00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:37,519 with our coffee 437 00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:39,440 the reason why we have chaga and heishi 438 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:41,440 wu in there is because they actually 439 00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:43,600 help with the adrenal fatigue that you 440 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:45,839 get from caffeine so not only by 441 00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:47,600 encapsulating it in the lipid layer 442 00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:50,639 which i prefer organic coconut oil 443 00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:53,440 and not the mct oil that the bulletproof 444 00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:54,560 folks push 445 00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:56,720 once again we're all about naturally 446 00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:58,320 derived everything should come from 447 00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:00,240 mother nature so 448 00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:02,560 why do we need to break apart the pieces 449 00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:04,160 you know that's the reductionist model 450 00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:05,520 where we've gone wrong with like 451 00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:08,160 allopathic medicine let's use what 452 00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:10,240 mother nature gives us in its entirety 453 00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:12,000 because all aspects of the coconut are 454 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:12,959 important 455 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,839 so 456 00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,280 you take the coconut oil and you blend 457 00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:17,600 that and then with the chaga mushroom 458 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:20,720 and the hishiwu those are very important 459 00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:21,839 tonic 460 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,199 herbs that help 461 00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:26,160 revitalize the adrenal glands so that 462 00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:28,400 you're not getting that taxation you 463 00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:31,039 would get with a typical cup of joe 464 00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:32,480 mmm 465 00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:34,240 i like it that's a hell of a pitch i'm 466 00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:35,919 gonna check that out 467 00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:38,720 so i i'm a coffee guy greg i've always 468 00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:40,960 have been so like my morning routine 469 00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:43,280 once again as i do that smith river 470 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:45,280 water tonic with fresh squeezed organic 471 00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:48,080 lemon our zero point i blend all our 472 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,160 zero points together and so our zero 473 00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:52,480 point liquids are amazing they're a 474 00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:54,880 liquid fulvic humic base so if you've 475 00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:56,880 ever heard of shilajit i know it's 476 00:18:02,150 --> 00:17:58,799 become quite trendy in the alternative 477 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:02,160 health space that is basically 478 00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:03,520 your humic 479 00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:06,400 your fulvic minerals that are naturally 480 00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:08,960 basically over thousands of years 481 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,600 all your base minerals in a natural 482 00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:13,360 source on the tops of the himalaya 483 00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:15,120 mountains we actually get them in the 484 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:17,120 united states in a very secret location 485 00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:19,440 very pure pristine location 486 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:21,600 and then what we do though we put those 487 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,720 within a transitional element base so we 488 00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:26,160 actually have them 489 00:18:30,549 --> 00:18:27,600 alchemically 490 00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:30,559 optimized so that they're vibrating at a 491 00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:33,200 more ceramic level not a metallic level 492 00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:34,799 which just basically means for your 493 00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:36,799 cellular matrix you can 494 00:18:41,669 --> 00:18:39,120 saturate your cellular matrix better 495 00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:41,679 than traditional 496 00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:43,840 even liquid vitamins 497 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:46,480 once again this is dr berlando's 498 00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:49,440 expertise more than i but ever since 499 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:51,280 i've been taking these for about 10 500 00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:54,960 years my energy is off the hook so 501 00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,919 i must say this stuff works dude 502 00:19:01,669 --> 00:19:00,000 right on right on 503 00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:01,679 wow well 504 00:19:06,789 --> 00:19:03,520 in terms of the farm to help people 505 00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:06,799 maybe get a better mental picture of the 506 00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:09,120 space how large is it how many people 507 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:10,960 really live there is it just your family 508 00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:12,799 and dr lando's 509 00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:14,640 yeah so actually 510 00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:16,640 it's kind of unique and interesting i 511 00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:18,480 don't live on the farm i live in a 512 00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:19,760 little town 513 00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:21,039 right over the other side of the 514 00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:24,000 mountains i'm on grid because i'm as a 515 00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:25,840 technologist 516 00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:27,760 living off a satellite internet is just 517 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:29,840 too difficult at this time 518 00:19:34,230 --> 00:19:32,799 so uh i'm fortunate to live in a 700 519 00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:34,240 person little 520 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:36,640 town that just has a post office and a 521 00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:38,640 little corner market on the middle fork 522 00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:40,080 of the smith river 523 00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:42,559 and then the farm itself as the crow 524 00:19:48,470 --> 00:19:44,720 flies is only about 525 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:48,480 25 not even that maybe 15 miles away but 526 00:19:52,630 --> 00:19:50,000 due to the 527 00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:52,640 kind of the rocky terrain and landscape 528 00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:54,400 here it's about a 45 minute to an hour 529 00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:56,160 drive and they're on the south fork of 530 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:58,480 the smith river nestled in an off-grid 531 00:20:02,149 --> 00:19:59,600 community 532 00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:02,159 and there it's dr lando and his wife and 533 00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:04,480 then we do have our good friend shannon 534 00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:07,360 who lives on the property now and she's 535 00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:09,760 a caretaker and then we have people from 536 00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:11,760 the alpha beta community that come up 537 00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:14,640 and volunteer throughout the season 538 00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:17,120 it is a permaculture farm which means 539 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:19,440 that it's built out in phases and in 540 00:20:23,270 --> 00:20:20,400 zones 541 00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:23,280 and it's actually the core space of the 542 00:20:29,110 --> 00:20:26,240 farm is only a few acres as of now which 543 00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:29,120 is actually a lot of a lot of growing to 544 00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:31,280 be done in just a few acres but the 545 00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:32,880 overall goal if you understand 546 00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:35,520 permaculture it's all about human design 547 00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:38,080 and phasing things out in stages so it's 548 00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:40,880 all zoned out appropriately according to 549 00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:43,600 as that how you develop that design so 550 00:20:48,470 --> 00:20:45,440 right now we have completed pretty much 551 00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:48,480 zone one which is about like i said i 552 00:20:53,510 --> 00:20:50,880 think it's about an acre and a half 553 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:53,520 and that is primarily our jalgu lawn 554 00:20:59,830 --> 00:20:56,320 which are trellised under the shade of 555 00:21:01,830 --> 00:20:59,840 the conifers we have a lot of dug furs 556 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:01,840 and pine trees that surround the 557 00:21:06,630 --> 00:21:04,000 property and we integrate it right into 558 00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:06,640 the nature so the farm as a permaculture 559 00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:07,840 farm is not your traditional 560 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:09,200 monocropping 561 00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:11,360 it's very unique in terms of the design 562 00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:13,360 and everything is also geometrically 563 00:21:19,430 --> 00:21:17,840 designed to kind of mirror nature's 564 00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:19,440 cosmic design 565 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:22,880 which dr lando is a genius at so 566 00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:27,120 we use a lot of geometry and also 567 00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:28,840 symmetry with 568 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,520 how we basically 569 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,080 take guilds which are 570 00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:36,480 how different plants can work together 571 00:21:40,789 --> 00:21:38,880 and help each other out so for instance 572 00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:40,799 we'll have fruit trees with ashwagandha 573 00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:42,880 around it and then nestled in between 574 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:44,480 there are certain herbs and they all 575 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:46,880 feed off each other and work together 576 00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:48,960 harmoniously 577 00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:51,679 bear is also a master at soil science so 578 00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:53,200 he does all sorts of different 579 00:21:58,870 --> 00:21:56,159 electrical polarization and different 580 00:22:01,350 --> 00:21:58,880 things he does with the soil to ensure 581 00:22:03,830 --> 00:22:01,360 optimum growth so it really is like 582 00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:03,840 going into a magical garden it's really 583 00:22:07,029 --> 00:22:05,919 more of like a botanical garden than a 584 00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:07,039 farm 585 00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:09,840 when you go and when you do visit greg i 586 00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:11,520 cannot wait to take you on the tour 587 00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:13,200 because it really is like going to 588 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:15,200 disneyland 589 00:22:18,430 --> 00:22:17,120 it's really impressive sounding man i 590 00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:18,440 mean because i've had all these 591 00:22:23,830 --> 00:22:20,880 conversations with all kinds of really 592 00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:23,840 bright minds and the information just 593 00:22:27,669 --> 00:22:25,840 really doesn't go anywhere but it's cool 594 00:22:30,149 --> 00:22:27,679 to know there's a place where you are 595 00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:30,159 layering what we know about sacred 596 00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:33,520 geometry and energetics and cymatics and 597 00:22:38,950 --> 00:22:36,400 alchemy and biodynamics and even just 598 00:22:41,430 --> 00:22:38,960 good soil health as you say and 599 00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:41,440 efficiency and symbiosis it should be 600 00:22:45,669 --> 00:22:43,919 the goal but you just don't see it it's 601 00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:45,679 pretty rare 602 00:22:48,710 --> 00:22:46,559 well 603 00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:48,720 one thing that bear talks about a lot is 604 00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:50,720 physicians back in the day 605 00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:52,559 even pre-renaissance 606 00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:55,760 what some call the dark ages but really 607 00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:56,559 i'm 608 00:23:00,630 --> 00:22:58,320 coming to find greg that they might have 609 00:23:03,029 --> 00:23:00,640 been one of the highlights of our recent 610 00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:03,039 civilization if you start to uncover 611 00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:05,440 things like tartaria and these all these 612 00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:07,679 lost technologies that are really analog 613 00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:09,919 in nature and we really try to embrace 614 00:23:13,669 --> 00:23:12,000 that so like recently i installed some 615 00:23:17,110 --> 00:23:13,679 reikian 616 00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:17,120 earth pipes and um we're doing different 617 00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:20,159 kind of tower buster type technologies 618 00:23:25,190 --> 00:23:22,480 we integrate all sorts of different 619 00:23:27,909 --> 00:23:25,200 like you said sacred geometry patterning 620 00:23:30,149 --> 00:23:27,919 and then of course biogeometry is a huge 621 00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:30,159 influence on bear and i so 622 00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:34,080 yes the true alchemical sciences which 623 00:23:37,990 --> 00:23:36,400 are coming back and 624 00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:38,000 that's something that i'm really getting 625 00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:40,159 excited about as a technologist i 626 00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,640 believe that we are now moving more 627 00:23:46,310 --> 00:23:44,880 towards that and things like blockchain 628 00:23:49,110 --> 00:23:46,320 and bitcoin things we can talk about in 629 00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:49,120 a bit are going to be a stepping stone 630 00:23:52,470 --> 00:23:50,400 towards that 631 00:23:54,630 --> 00:23:52,480 yes yes that's exactly where i was gonna 632 00:23:57,430 --> 00:23:54,640 go next looking at the clock and i have 633 00:23:59,510 --> 00:23:57,440 tartaria and tower busting on the list 634 00:24:01,830 --> 00:23:59,520 but we won't get him into the first hour 635 00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:01,840 if we want to talk about cortl 636 00:24:05,909 --> 00:24:04,320 and this is one of the main catalysts 637 00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:05,919 for us getting together and we want to 638 00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:07,840 get it in this first hour i think a lot 639 00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:11,120 of our guests here oftentimes present a 640 00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:14,000 negative view of blockchain technology i 641 00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:16,480 understand things like controllable 642 00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:18,600 central bank digital 643 00:24:23,110 --> 00:24:21,120 cryptocurrencies and putting health 644 00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:23,120 records on the blockchain and the 645 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:25,520 symbolic resonance of terms like crypto 646 00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:26,960 and blockchain 647 00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:29,760 but i engage with crypto quite a bit and 648 00:24:33,190 --> 00:24:31,840 it is the second best thing i've ever 649 00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:33,200 gotten involved with next to this 650 00:24:36,390 --> 00:24:34,320 podcast 651 00:24:39,590 --> 00:24:36,400 there's really impressive stuff going on 652 00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:39,600 in the d5 staking yield farming space 653 00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:42,480 basically taking all the money tricks 654 00:24:48,230 --> 00:24:45,200 the banks have used for a long long time 655 00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:48,240 and democratizing them with super insane 656 00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:50,000 interest yields you could have an 657 00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:52,000 interest bearing crypto bank account for 658 00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:55,520 example right now with like 50 apy 659 00:25:00,149 --> 00:24:58,480 returns or more and that's just a little 660 00:25:02,149 --> 00:25:00,159 preface for people who don't know that 661 00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:02,159 little secret because it's an aspect of 662 00:25:06,230 --> 00:25:04,400 my life that so rarely gets 663 00:25:09,029 --> 00:25:06,240 voiced on this show 664 00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:09,039 but i do see both sides of it and like 665 00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:10,400 most things 666 00:25:15,110 --> 00:25:12,480 that start to become tools for freedom 667 00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:15,120 the system co-ops them and crypto will 668 00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:17,440 probably be a mixed bag just like 669 00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:19,760 everything just like the internet itself 670 00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:21,919 and we're also not going to stop it so 671 00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:23,840 we should probably support the projects 672 00:25:27,669 --> 00:25:25,200 that will move the needle in the 673 00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:27,679 altruistic direction and with that said 674 00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:30,320 tell us about quartal 675 00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:32,960 that's beautiful man you get it it's a 676 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:35,840 tool technology's a tool and we live in 677 00:25:39,590 --> 00:25:37,360 a dualistic 678 00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:39,600 reality and so 679 00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:42,559 it can go either way right and really 680 00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:44,320 one thing that we're looking at in terms 681 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:45,600 of crypto 682 00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:46,720 is 683 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:49,039 humankind mankind likes to mess things 684 00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:50,400 up 685 00:25:55,830 --> 00:25:51,360 and 686 00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:55,840 read the bitcoin white paper satoshi 687 00:26:00,789 --> 00:25:58,480 nakamoto put forth in 2009 which was the 688 00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:00,799 catalyst for it all 689 00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:03,440 you can see the purity and the mindset 690 00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:05,440 that that came out of which was really 691 00:26:10,470 --> 00:26:06,240 to 692 00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:10,480 disrupt centralization disrupt the eons 693 00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:11,520 old 694 00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:14,720 manipulation of man through 695 00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:18,320 economics through scarcity through money 696 00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:19,840 and 697 00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:24,080 this is my kind of theory on where we 698 00:26:28,789 --> 00:26:26,720 need to go and why we're suffering 699 00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:28,799 this relates to everything right now 700 00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:31,760 greg the global health 701 00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:33,600 whatever you want to call it pandemic 702 00:26:38,549 --> 00:26:36,960 scamdemic pandemic whatever your kind of 703 00:26:39,269 --> 00:26:38,559 thoughts are on that 704 00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:39,279 to 705 00:26:46,630 --> 00:26:43,440 political strife the social strife all 706 00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:46,640 of it becomes from one singular place 707 00:26:51,430 --> 00:26:49,440 and i used to think that was debt was 708 00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:51,440 the debt-based system that we're in but 709 00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:54,240 actually debt is just an after effect 710 00:26:58,070 --> 00:26:56,480 part of the mechanism of something 711 00:26:59,909 --> 00:26:58,080 greater which is 712 00:27:02,390 --> 00:26:59,919 really the lack of trust and 713 00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:02,400 transparency humankind has with each 714 00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:04,880 other with our institutions 715 00:27:11,029 --> 00:27:07,279 and with how we interact with basically 716 00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:11,039 all humans inner species relations 717 00:27:14,789 --> 00:27:12,720 we don't have trust 718 00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:14,799 and that has to do with a lot of things 719 00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:16,400 but mainly it comes down to 720 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:17,760 consciousness 721 00:27:23,269 --> 00:27:20,960 and the human condition is based upon 722 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:23,279 lack of trust and transparency 723 00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:24,880 certain actors whether they be 724 00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:27,360 archonically controlled or 725 00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:29,360 the minions of arimon 726 00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:31,679 they're going to take advantage of this 727 00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:33,840 and the end result is 728 00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:36,240 basically a debt-based system 729 00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:38,559 and when we have a debt based system 730 00:27:42,549 --> 00:27:40,320 because we are unable to trust our 731 00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:42,559 neighbor and because we're afraid of bad 732 00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:43,840 actors 733 00:27:47,590 --> 00:27:45,520 we buy into this 734 00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:47,600 using credit and using debt and it's 735 00:27:52,310 --> 00:27:50,720 really easy to go for this because 736 00:27:55,669 --> 00:27:52,320 look at the debt bubble we're in now i 737 00:27:59,269 --> 00:27:55,679 mean if you look at the last 50 60 years 738 00:28:00,549 --> 00:27:59,279 many keynesian economics professors etc 739 00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:00,559 will say that 740 00:28:05,669 --> 00:28:03,360 we've now enjoyed the greatest 741 00:28:08,389 --> 00:28:05,679 civilization success in the history of 742 00:28:11,029 --> 00:28:08,399 mankind look at all the growth 743 00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:11,039 but to what cost 744 00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:12,799 i often relate this to health into the 745 00:28:17,269 --> 00:28:14,720 allopathic model 746 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:17,279 the allopathic proponents will say we 747 00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:19,440 have been able to basically vanquish all 748 00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:22,080 disease but at what cost we have chronic 749 00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:23,679 illness at an all-time high we have 750 00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:25,760 depression at all time high obesity all 751 00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:26,960 these things and i know some of those 752 00:28:31,110 --> 00:28:28,799 play into more of the cultural 753 00:28:32,950 --> 00:28:31,120 aspects of humanity and the big 754 00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:32,960 corporations etc 755 00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:33,760 but 756 00:28:38,710 --> 00:28:36,480 with any ponzi scheme it can always look 757 00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:38,720 really wonderful 758 00:28:42,149 --> 00:28:40,559 on the top layer 759 00:28:43,990 --> 00:28:42,159 but when you start to dig a little 760 00:28:46,549 --> 00:28:44,000 deeper you realize how much trouble 761 00:28:48,549 --> 00:28:46,559 we're in and obviously what we're facing 762 00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:48,559 right now is a debt crisis beyond 763 00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:49,679 measure 764 00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:52,000 and it's really tough right like it's 765 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:54,320 going to be really tough to try to fix 766 00:28:59,269 --> 00:28:57,520 this it's essentially what most honest 767 00:29:01,029 --> 00:28:59,279 people looking at this 768 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:01,039 are seeing now is it's there's really 769 00:29:05,269 --> 00:29:03,200 one way only a few ways out one is 770 00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:05,279 complete and total collapse into like a 771 00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:08,480 mad max world two complete technocracy 772 00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:10,080 because that's how they push the debt 773 00:29:16,549 --> 00:29:13,919 bubble along is more centralization more 774 00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:16,559 control more statism 775 00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:18,000 so they're doing that of course through 776 00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:20,159 technology and through the technocracy 777 00:29:25,190 --> 00:29:22,960 but i think the third way out is 778 00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:25,200 through a holistic model of 779 00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:28,240 kind of slowly moving into a parallel 780 00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:30,000 system and that's where we can talk 781 00:29:33,029 --> 00:29:31,520 about bitcoin and what chordal is 782 00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:33,039 looking to do as well 783 00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:35,440 but real quick on the technocracy side 784 00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:37,760 one thing we have to remember too is 785 00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:41,200 that technology itself is deflationary 786 00:29:46,470 --> 00:29:43,600 in nature we must understand that it's 787 00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:46,480 extremely important aspect to this all 788 00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:48,640 due to moore's law and the network 789 00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:50,240 effect and game theory and all these 790 00:29:55,510 --> 00:29:52,720 wonderful aspects of technology 791 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:55,520 it is essentially always 792 00:30:01,110 --> 00:29:57,679 rapidly improving and getting more 793 00:30:04,070 --> 00:30:01,120 efficient and making our lives easier so 794 00:30:07,269 --> 00:30:04,080 if we can maintain a decentralized 795 00:30:10,549 --> 00:30:07,279 holistic kind of connection to it 796 00:30:12,549 --> 00:30:10,559 it can allow us to free up our time and 797 00:30:15,510 --> 00:30:12,559 not that i'm saying that this is some 798 00:30:17,669 --> 00:30:15,520 sort of utopian ideal here of technology 799 00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:17,679 saving us not at all but it is a tool 800 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:20,080 and it can allow us to really go 801 00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:22,080 to places as long as we do it in the 802 00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:24,399 right way to allow us to be more free 803 00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:27,200 and allow us to engage economically in a 804 00:30:31,669 --> 00:30:29,200 more deflationary way which is extremely 805 00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:31,679 important because that is the opposite 806 00:30:35,830 --> 00:30:33,360 of what we're dealing with right now in 807 00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:35,840 terms of how we relate to debt and with 808 00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:37,760 inflation and right now really 809 00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:40,320 stagflation is what we're looking at so 810 00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:42,159 important to remember that technology in 811 00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:44,960 itself is deflationary and an example of 812 00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:47,279 that would be what we're doing right now 813 00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:50,480 10 15 years ago to be able to put out 814 00:30:55,990 --> 00:30:53,200 content like this we would have had to 815 00:30:57,909 --> 00:30:56,000 probably meet in person and record it i 816 00:30:59,750 --> 00:30:57,919 would have had to pay for a flight fly 817 00:31:01,669 --> 00:30:59,760 down to san diego 818 00:31:03,509 --> 00:31:01,679 you would have had expensive recording 819 00:31:05,190 --> 00:31:03,519 equipment we would have then had to save 820 00:31:07,029 --> 00:31:05,200 that to tape we would have had to 821 00:31:08,789 --> 00:31:07,039 transfer that and then people would have 822 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:08,799 to be a member where we would literally 823 00:31:11,830 --> 00:31:10,799 have that delivered to them in the mail 824 00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:11,840 so 825 00:31:16,549 --> 00:31:14,399 now this is essentially free 826 00:31:19,269 --> 00:31:16,559 so that is a very important aspect of 827 00:31:20,470 --> 00:31:19,279 technology we need to remember and it is 828 00:31:22,870 --> 00:31:20,480 something that 829 00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:22,880 excites me every day i wake up because 830 00:31:27,909 --> 00:31:26,080 like i said earlier this technology is 831 00:31:31,669 --> 00:31:27,919 just the very beginning it's like the 832 00:31:34,870 --> 00:31:31,679 caveman version of where we're gonna go 833 00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:34,880 in terms of our own inert technologies 834 00:31:37,110 --> 00:31:36,240 within us 835 00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:37,120 and 836 00:31:41,269 --> 00:31:39,200 yeah greg i really want to get into this 837 00:31:43,590 --> 00:31:41,279 idea of 838 00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:43,600 this is gonna this is the perfect place 839 00:31:47,190 --> 00:31:45,360 to talk about this higher side chats 840 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:47,200 because this gets trippy 841 00:31:51,269 --> 00:31:48,880 let me give you my little download i've 842 00:31:54,149 --> 00:31:51,279 gotten recently so remember how i said 843 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:54,159 that the biggest problem we have in 844 00:31:57,990 --> 00:31:55,919 terms of why we're in a debt system is 845 00:32:00,549 --> 00:31:58,000 because of lack of trust and lack of 846 00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:00,559 transparency and we'll get into how 847 00:32:04,230 --> 00:32:02,320 crypto will be the first phase and 848 00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:04,240 specifically bitcoin and projects like 849 00:32:08,789 --> 00:32:06,559 chordal will help us get there but the 850 00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:08,799 end result i truly believe and this goes 851 00:32:12,149 --> 00:32:10,880 into steiner into the mystics and stuff 852 00:32:14,470 --> 00:32:12,159 is that 853 00:32:15,669 --> 00:32:14,480 we are going to go back to being psychic 854 00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:15,679 connected 855 00:32:20,789 --> 00:32:17,600 people like we were maybe in the times 856 00:32:23,269 --> 00:32:20,799 of lumeria and when we get there 857 00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:23,279 we're basically living on a blockchain 858 00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:25,360 in a sense of complete transparency and 859 00:32:30,710 --> 00:32:28,320 truth and in doing that the idea of 860 00:32:32,950 --> 00:32:30,720 money will cease to need to exist 861 00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:32,960 because we will be basically living 862 00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:35,600 according to law according to virtue we 863 00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:38,000 will know who is unvirtuous who is not 864 00:32:42,870 --> 00:32:40,960 to trust we won't need money anymore 865 00:32:45,909 --> 00:32:42,880 and in doing that our entire 866 00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:45,919 relationship with currency and with how 867 00:32:49,269 --> 00:32:48,320 economics work will be so drastically 868 00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:49,279 different 869 00:32:53,909 --> 00:32:51,279 that those in power won't be in power 870 00:32:56,070 --> 00:32:53,919 anymore and will be i'm not saying this 871 00:32:58,870 --> 00:32:56,080 is a utopian paradise but it will be a 872 00:33:02,149 --> 00:32:58,880 whole new idea of how 873 00:33:04,870 --> 00:33:02,159 we interact and how we engage and how we 874 00:33:06,149 --> 00:33:04,880 live in a much more harmonious virtuous 875 00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:06,159 way 876 00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:08,640 hmm i like it it's like the 877 00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:12,159 blockchain digital ledger is a 878 00:33:16,310 --> 00:33:14,399 sort of training wheel to get us back to 879 00:33:18,710 --> 00:33:16,320 that psychic space 880 00:33:21,190 --> 00:33:18,720 exactly and that's you you really said 881 00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:21,200 the right word ledger because really 882 00:33:25,909 --> 00:33:24,080 that's all we need a transparent ledger 883 00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:25,919 that we know is immutable 884 00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:28,080 that we know we're all in agreement with 885 00:33:32,789 --> 00:33:30,480 that's money i mean that really is so 886 00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:32,799 what is money money is the i guess the 887 00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:35,360 quantification of time right the idea 888 00:33:41,509 --> 00:33:38,320 that when you put forth time into a 889 00:33:43,509 --> 00:33:41,519 specific task or creative endeavor 890 00:33:45,669 --> 00:33:43,519 you get a representation of that that 891 00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,679 you can then use in the future to 892 00:33:49,909 --> 00:33:47,519 represent that time and if you have the 893 00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:49,919 right kind of money hopefully your time 894 00:33:54,870 --> 00:33:53,039 is actually increased and that you can 895 00:33:56,549 --> 00:33:54,880 get more time down the line so i the 896 00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:56,559 idea right traditionally is that you 897 00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:59,039 work for 40 years so you get all your 898 00:34:02,870 --> 00:34:00,720 your money saved so that you can then 899 00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:02,880 enjoy that time when you're retired that 900 00:34:08,230 --> 00:34:05,120 was kind of like the traditional nine to 901 00:34:09,270 --> 00:34:08,240 five the american dream of the 1950s 902 00:34:10,790 --> 00:34:09,280 right 903 00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:10,800 well i think that relationship has 904 00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:12,639 obviously been skewed and changed now 905 00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:14,800 where essentially that time has been 906 00:34:17,990 --> 00:34:16,399 stripped and stolen from us due to 907 00:34:19,349 --> 00:34:18,000 inflation which is really a secret 908 00:34:22,069 --> 00:34:19,359 hidden tax 909 00:34:23,829 --> 00:34:22,079 but i also believe that we can do better 910 00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:23,839 i believe that 911 00:34:27,669 --> 00:34:26,240 as inherent creative 912 00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:27,679 consciousness 913 00:34:34,389 --> 00:34:31,280 that our experience on this planet 914 00:34:36,790 --> 00:34:34,399 in relationship to time needs to be 915 00:34:39,510 --> 00:34:36,800 rethought and restructured and in doing 916 00:34:41,349 --> 00:34:39,520 so so will our relationship with money 917 00:34:43,589 --> 00:34:41,359 and that's really what's exciting about 918 00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:43,599 blockchain is that we can start playing 919 00:34:47,589 --> 00:34:46,320 with this because we have the ability to 920 00:34:49,589 --> 00:34:47,599 relate 921 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:49,599 different aspects of time and different 922 00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:51,599 aspects of our experience onto the 923 00:34:55,030 --> 00:34:53,440 blockchain which is just an immutable 924 00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:55,040 transparent ledger 925 00:34:59,349 --> 00:34:56,960 and so that's essentially what proof of 926 00:35:01,430 --> 00:34:59,359 work does it immediately sets 927 00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:01,440 transactions in time 928 00:35:03,990 --> 00:35:02,640 and so 929 00:35:05,990 --> 00:35:04,000 in doing that 930 00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:06,000 it's phase one it's phase one of us 931 00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:08,960 moving towards this far-off ideal of us 932 00:35:13,750 --> 00:35:11,280 all being psychic and being transparent 933 00:35:16,069 --> 00:35:13,760 and virtuous in our relations and and 934 00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:16,079 essentially living like the essenes did 935 00:35:19,589 --> 00:35:17,839 thousands of years ago where they didn't 936 00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:19,599 have money but they still had possession 937 00:35:22,470 --> 00:35:20,960 and they still were able to relate and 938 00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,480 do commerce and it was all based on 939 00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:24,800 mutual respect by the law 940 00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:27,760 so yeah very exciting times and the one 941 00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:29,440 thing i will say about crypto is 942 00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:32,160 probably about 95 of it is tainted it's 943 00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:34,000 centralized it's been manipulated and 944 00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:35,119 controlled 945 00:35:39,109 --> 00:35:37,280 and it's going to be very interesting to 946 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:39,119 see where it goes in the next few years 947 00:35:42,310 --> 00:35:40,800 and if we are going to see a bit of a 948 00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:42,320 collapse or if we're going to be able to 949 00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:43,680 kind of get through that and move 950 00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:46,560 towards these higher ideals 951 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:48,320 i don't know i'm not a huge fan of 952 00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:50,400 projects like ethereum and cardano 953 00:35:53,829 --> 00:35:52,160 because i feel like 954 00:35:56,069 --> 00:35:53,839 they're centralized and they came from a 955 00:35:57,670 --> 00:35:56,079 place of centralization from the get-go 956 00:36:00,310 --> 00:35:57,680 with the idea of an initial coin 957 00:36:02,390 --> 00:36:00,320 offering essentially fiat 2.0 where you 958 00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:02,400 have the progenitors pre-minting 959 00:36:07,190 --> 00:36:05,200 pre-mining the coin having control of it 960 00:36:09,829 --> 00:36:07,200 and then having a staking model where 961 00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:09,839 based upon whoever has more shekels will 962 00:36:15,030 --> 00:36:12,480 have more control of the consensus i 963 00:36:17,430 --> 00:36:15,040 think that's man messing it up messing 964 00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:17,440 up the original vision of satoshi so 965 00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:19,119 with chordal 966 00:36:23,430 --> 00:36:20,560 what we're trying to do is we're trying 967 00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:23,440 to go back to satoshi's satoshi's vision 968 00:36:26,550 --> 00:36:25,200 of having a truly decentralized 969 00:36:29,109 --> 00:36:26,560 mechanism 970 00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:29,119 to allow for a new internet we're happy 971 00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:31,760 with bitcoin we think bitcoin is doing a 972 00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:34,000 pretty good job even though btc as is is 973 00:36:39,589 --> 00:36:36,720 not the original bitcoin we know in 2017 974 00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:39,599 was segregated witness it forked off and 975 00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:41,599 became something kind of different 976 00:36:46,230 --> 00:36:44,000 the bitcoin core team is a corporation 977 00:36:48,630 --> 00:36:46,240 running the bitcoin protocol and there 978 00:36:50,470 --> 00:36:48,640 are concerns with that but still i guess 979 00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:50,480 you could call me a i'm not a bitcoin 980 00:36:55,349 --> 00:36:53,040 maximalist but a bitcoin idealist and i 981 00:36:57,990 --> 00:36:55,359 do support support that blockchain 982 00:36:59,910 --> 00:36:58,000 immensely and most of my portfolio is 983 00:37:01,670 --> 00:36:59,920 btc 984 00:37:03,670 --> 00:37:01,680 but with chordal what we're looking to 985 00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:03,680 do is really 986 00:37:07,829 --> 00:37:06,160 reimagine what the internet is and so 987 00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:07,839 it's a completely different beast we're 988 00:37:11,910 --> 00:37:10,000 not competing with bitcoin we see 989 00:37:13,589 --> 00:37:11,920 bitcoin as a friend 990 00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:13,599 with chordal what we're looking to do is 991 00:37:18,390 --> 00:37:16,480 provide 10x value to the internet and 992 00:37:19,910 --> 00:37:18,400 thus allow for new adoption on a 993 00:37:20,950 --> 00:37:19,920 decentralized 994 00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:20,960 more 995 00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:22,880 human-friendly version of what the 996 00:37:26,150 --> 00:37:24,320 internet can be 997 00:37:28,390 --> 00:37:26,160 and in doing that 998 00:37:30,630 --> 00:37:28,400 we're bringing decentralization the 999 00:37:31,990 --> 00:37:30,640 trustless nature the universal nature of 1000 00:37:33,829 --> 00:37:32,000 blockchain 1001 00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:33,839 and with things like community 1002 00:37:37,829 --> 00:37:36,800 collaboration cooperation and abundance 1003 00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:37,839 so 1004 00:37:41,270 --> 00:37:39,520 yeah let me know what questions do you 1005 00:37:43,349 --> 00:37:41,280 have about chordal it's a very deep 1006 00:37:45,990 --> 00:37:43,359 subject there's a lot to it 1007 00:37:48,870 --> 00:37:46,000 and i'm happy to discuss any aspects of 1008 00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:48,880 it for sure for sure and yeah i 1009 00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:50,800 definitely think that a lot of times 1010 00:37:55,190 --> 00:37:52,960 with crypto conversations they can get 1011 00:37:56,710 --> 00:37:55,200 too fundamental like what is a 1012 00:37:58,390 --> 00:37:56,720 blockchain and all this kind of stuff 1013 00:38:00,550 --> 00:37:58,400 and there's so much out there that if 1014 00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:00,560 people need to be brought up to speed go 1015 00:38:05,589 --> 00:38:02,880 bring yourself up to speed but one 1016 00:38:07,030 --> 00:38:05,599 aspect of this protocol that i think is 1017 00:38:09,270 --> 00:38:07,040 interesting that maybe a lot of people 1018 00:38:12,710 --> 00:38:09,280 haven't heard elaborated on would be 1019 00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:12,720 proof of time or this minting aspect as 1020 00:38:18,470 --> 00:38:15,520 compared to proof of work which bitcoin 1021 00:38:21,030 --> 00:38:18,480 uses or proof of stake which is being 1022 00:38:24,069 --> 00:38:21,040 considered the next big thing help 1023 00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:24,079 people understand these mechanisms and 1024 00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:26,480 what chordal does differently and almost 1025 00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:28,000 uniquely because i don't think i've 1026 00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:30,640 heard of another proof of time 1027 00:38:35,349 --> 00:38:32,480 project 1028 00:38:36,790 --> 00:38:35,359 yeah so cortal in itself is its own 1029 00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:36,800 blockchain it was developed from the 1030 00:38:40,310 --> 00:38:38,880 ground up it's been about six years in 1031 00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:40,320 the making 1032 00:38:45,349 --> 00:38:42,480 really kind of the original 1033 00:38:47,829 --> 00:38:45,359 ethics and momentum of bitcoin came out 1034 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:47,839 of the cipher punk mentality right from 1035 00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:49,760 the 80s and 90s i always think of that 1036 00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:51,440 movie like hacker or whatever from the 1037 00:38:55,430 --> 00:38:53,760 90s you know like guys on rollerblades 1038 00:38:57,670 --> 00:38:55,440 wearing neon but 1039 00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:57,680 yeah it was really these underground 1040 00:39:01,430 --> 00:38:59,200 cypherpunks who 1041 00:39:03,829 --> 00:39:01,440 saw that the bitcoin model of 1042 00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:03,839 proof-of-work well ingenious on so many 1043 00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:06,000 ways and really we are fans of bitcoin 1044 00:39:09,270 --> 00:39:07,680 because the proof-of-work model is 1045 00:39:11,510 --> 00:39:09,280 important to understand and really the 1046 00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:11,520 proof-of-work model is based on 1047 00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:14,640 traditional classic economics of supply 1048 00:39:18,390 --> 00:39:16,240 and demand and 1049 00:39:21,030 --> 00:39:18,400 based on the idea of computers competing 1050 00:39:23,270 --> 00:39:21,040 against each other to solve complex 1051 00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:23,280 problems based on a specific difficulty 1052 00:39:28,470 --> 00:39:25,760 setting to allow for a completely 1053 00:39:30,470 --> 00:39:28,480 transparent and decentralized mechanism 1054 00:39:32,310 --> 00:39:30,480 of maintaining truth 1055 00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:32,320 on a digital network 1056 00:39:36,390 --> 00:39:34,320 what we call blockchain 1057 00:39:39,349 --> 00:39:36,400 an extremely important innovation and 1058 00:39:41,349 --> 00:39:39,359 something that i think will be 1059 00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:41,359 like the printing press used for 1060 00:39:44,790 --> 00:39:43,599 hundreds if not thousands of years i 1061 00:39:47,109 --> 00:39:44,800 really do 1062 00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:47,119 there are limitations though to proof of 1063 00:39:49,750 --> 00:39:48,000 work 1064 00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:49,760 in terms of 1065 00:39:54,630 --> 00:39:52,000 the egalitarian nature of it because it 1066 00:39:57,109 --> 00:39:54,640 does tend to centralize because in the 1067 00:39:59,109 --> 00:39:57,119 end there is a race for computing power 1068 00:40:01,030 --> 00:39:59,119 and the race for computing power 1069 00:40:03,349 --> 00:40:01,040 essentially means those who can afford 1070 00:40:04,790 --> 00:40:03,359 to buy the best computers and those who 1071 00:40:07,510 --> 00:40:04,800 can team up and create the biggest 1072 00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:07,520 mining systems will thus have more what 1073 00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:09,520 they call hashing power which will give 1074 00:40:13,750 --> 00:40:11,520 you more power on the bitcoin or 1075 00:40:15,349 --> 00:40:13,760 whatever proof of work blockchain 1076 00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:15,359 and the other thing too about bitcoin is 1077 00:40:20,230 --> 00:40:18,240 based on a scarcity model which is fine 1078 00:40:22,870 --> 00:40:20,240 which is fine for the mechanism of what 1079 00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:22,880 it's turned into which is a means for 1080 00:40:26,230 --> 00:40:24,720 securing a 1081 00:40:31,750 --> 00:40:26,240 deflationary 1082 00:40:33,990 --> 00:40:31,760 for basically digital gold right having 1083 00:40:35,829 --> 00:40:34,000 a savings account it makes a lot of 1084 00:40:37,589 --> 00:40:35,839 sense however 1085 00:40:39,910 --> 00:40:37,599 like any technology 1086 00:40:42,309 --> 00:40:39,920 there are other variants and uses that 1087 00:40:43,510 --> 00:40:42,319 can be ascertained out of the blockchain 1088 00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:43,520 model and 1089 00:40:47,030 --> 00:40:45,280 one thing that we saw a problem with 1090 00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:47,040 bitcoin for what we're trying to tackle 1091 00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:49,920 which is creating a new hosting paradigm 1092 00:40:56,230 --> 00:40:50,800 for 1093 00:40:58,870 --> 00:40:56,240 really needs to be as egalitarian as 1094 00:41:01,190 --> 00:40:58,880 possible we want the network to be as 1095 00:41:03,510 --> 00:41:01,200 decentralized and to be run by every 1096 00:41:04,870 --> 00:41:03,520 single individual in the world if we 1097 00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:04,880 really want to create the new internet 1098 00:41:07,990 --> 00:41:06,240 which originally that's what the 1099 00:41:09,670 --> 00:41:08,000 internet was right before the internet 1100 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:09,680 service providers came about the 1101 00:41:14,230 --> 00:41:11,920 compusers and the aols 1102 00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:14,240 the nerds of the world would connect 1103 00:41:18,150 --> 00:41:16,160 person to person on the internet you 1104 00:41:20,630 --> 00:41:18,160 would plug in your phone modem and dial 1105 00:41:22,470 --> 00:41:20,640 in and go in one of those old boards and 1106 00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:22,480 you know the forums and stuff and 1107 00:41:25,430 --> 00:41:24,240 interact person to person through your 1108 00:41:27,910 --> 00:41:25,440 connection 1109 00:41:29,589 --> 00:41:27,920 and we wanted to get back to that so in 1110 00:41:32,470 --> 00:41:29,599 order to do that we need an economic 1111 00:41:34,069 --> 00:41:32,480 model that incentivizes and that is it's 1112 00:41:36,150 --> 00:41:34,079 completely universal and fair as 1113 00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:36,160 possible so we were thinking well what 1114 00:41:38,790 --> 00:41:37,040 would be 1115 00:41:41,589 --> 00:41:38,800 the value metric for that what is 1116 00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:41,599 something that everybody has access to 1117 00:41:44,870 --> 00:41:43,520 in the human condition what is the thing 1118 00:41:46,150 --> 00:41:44,880 that everybody can relate to and 1119 00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:46,160 everybody has access to and that of 1120 00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:48,160 course is time we're all here for a 1121 00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:49,760 certain amount of time right nobody gets 1122 00:41:51,990 --> 00:41:51,040 out alive 1123 00:41:53,910 --> 00:41:52,000 so 1124 00:41:56,470 --> 00:41:53,920 by figuring out a way 1125 00:41:57,990 --> 00:41:56,480 to not only create an egalitarian model 1126 00:42:00,309 --> 00:41:58,000 where everybody shares a piece of the 1127 00:42:01,910 --> 00:42:00,319 pie but also based upon something that 1128 00:42:04,309 --> 00:42:01,920 everybody has access to we're able to 1129 00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:04,319 come up with minting which essentially 1130 00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:07,040 is our own consensus model that 1131 00:42:10,870 --> 00:42:08,640 basically just tracks the amount of time 1132 00:42:13,270 --> 00:42:10,880 that you are running your own node 1133 00:42:15,510 --> 00:42:13,280 supporting the network so simple think 1134 00:42:17,589 --> 00:42:15,520 of it as like a bittorrent right a bit 1135 00:42:20,390 --> 00:42:17,599 torrent traditionally you put the 1136 00:42:21,910 --> 00:42:20,400 software on your computer and you start 1137 00:42:24,390 --> 00:42:21,920 essentially supporting 1138 00:42:25,829 --> 00:42:24,400 bits of everybody's data that's all 1139 00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:25,839 essentially we're doing but with a 1140 00:42:31,589 --> 00:42:28,400 blockchain attached and the blockchain 1141 00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:31,599 allows for the universal 1142 00:42:35,990 --> 00:42:33,119 transparent 1143 00:42:37,829 --> 00:42:36,000 ledger that is built in time just like 1144 00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:37,839 the bitcoin blockchain however the 1145 00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:39,200 difference being that unlike 1146 00:42:42,390 --> 00:42:40,880 proof-of-work where you're competing 1147 00:42:44,790 --> 00:42:42,400 with computers 1148 00:42:46,790 --> 00:42:44,800 to get the prize right the coin when you 1149 00:42:49,190 --> 00:42:46,800 quote unquote win a block 1150 00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:49,200 this is just everybody's pulling in all 1151 00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:50,800 together we're all in this together 1152 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:52,720 we're collaborating together and every 1153 00:42:57,349 --> 00:42:54,480 minute that we have minute blocks 1154 00:42:59,670 --> 00:42:57,359 everybody shares a piece of the pie 1155 00:43:01,349 --> 00:42:59,680 so everybody in every minute based upon 1156 00:43:03,030 --> 00:43:01,359 how many users there are how many full 1157 00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:03,040 nodes are running 1158 00:43:06,790 --> 00:43:04,960 there is a specific block reward that 1159 00:43:08,150 --> 00:43:06,800 comes out and gets split across the 1160 00:43:10,470 --> 00:43:08,160 entire board 1161 00:43:11,510 --> 00:43:10,480 so what we did is we essentially were 1162 00:43:13,430 --> 00:43:11,520 able to 1163 00:43:15,349 --> 00:43:13,440 one of the big problems with bitcoin is 1164 00:43:17,030 --> 00:43:15,359 the bitcoin mining pools that have taken 1165 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:17,040 over where they're taking everyone's 1166 00:43:21,270 --> 00:43:18,720 little bit of hashing power right and 1167 00:43:23,190 --> 00:43:21,280 spreading the block reward amongst that 1168 00:43:25,270 --> 00:43:23,200 pool members we said well we'll just 1169 00:43:27,349 --> 00:43:25,280 make one big pool and then everybody 1170 00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:27,359 shares and then of course we do have the 1171 00:43:31,510 --> 00:43:29,200 leveling system which we can talk about 1172 00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:31,520 which gives a sense of authority based 1173 00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:33,920 upon how much time and how much 1174 00:43:38,230 --> 00:43:35,920 basically you've given time wise to the 1175 00:43:40,309 --> 00:43:38,240 network and that allows for not only 1176 00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:40,319 further rewards but also voting and 1177 00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:42,880 opens up a whole amazing 1178 00:43:48,230 --> 00:43:46,160 opportunity for us to be agile and 1179 00:43:50,950 --> 00:43:48,240 creative in the ways that we can upgrade 1180 00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:50,960 the system depending on what trials and 1181 00:43:56,309 --> 00:43:53,440 tribulations come ahead so unlike 1182 00:43:58,790 --> 00:43:56,319 bitcoin that relies upon the miners to 1183 00:44:00,870 --> 00:43:58,800 make these decisions on the future of 1184 00:44:02,630 --> 00:44:00,880 the protocol this is actually done 1185 00:44:03,829 --> 00:44:02,640 through a much more egalitarian voting 1186 00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:03,839 method 1187 00:44:10,390 --> 00:44:07,680 that still also does honor those leaders 1188 00:44:11,589 --> 00:44:10,400 who started it the elders if you will 1189 00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:11,599 who are 1190 00:44:14,950 --> 00:44:13,280 higher levels based upon the amount of 1191 00:44:17,829 --> 00:44:14,960 time they put in it so it's not just 1192 00:44:20,309 --> 00:44:17,839 pure democracy mob rule it's based kind 1193 00:44:21,030 --> 00:44:20,319 of more on a model of republic if you 1194 00:44:23,430 --> 00:44:21,040 will 1195 00:44:25,270 --> 00:44:23,440 where those who have put more time that 1196 00:44:27,349 --> 00:44:25,280 are more knowledgeable have a little bit 1197 00:44:29,510 --> 00:44:27,359 more weight on the voting 1198 00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:29,520 so that in essence is kind of what we 1199 00:44:34,390 --> 00:44:32,400 developed it's a lot more to it but it's 1200 00:44:36,390 --> 00:44:34,400 fun anybody can jump in right now and 1201 00:44:38,870 --> 00:44:36,400 once you've proven yourself 1202 00:44:41,109 --> 00:44:38,880 over 7 200 blocks or that's about five 1203 00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:41,119 days of running the blockchain you get 1204 00:44:45,190 --> 00:44:43,440 sponsored by someone who's level five or 1205 00:44:47,510 --> 00:44:45,200 above it's kind of a little protection 1206 00:44:49,030 --> 00:44:47,520 mechanism so you need to find an elder 1207 00:44:52,550 --> 00:44:49,040 who will allow you to come into the 1208 00:44:53,910 --> 00:44:52,560 tribe and it's very easy to do basically 1209 00:44:56,550 --> 00:44:53,920 you just prove you're a real human being 1210 00:44:59,750 --> 00:44:56,560 and that you want to be a part and then 1211 00:45:01,589 --> 00:44:59,760 you run the node your node for 7 200 1212 00:45:04,309 --> 00:45:01,599 blocks and then you hit level one and 1213 00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:04,319 then every minute you start earning coin 1214 00:45:08,309 --> 00:45:06,480 and you can take part in the beautiful 1215 00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:08,319 thing that is quartal 1216 00:45:13,270 --> 00:45:10,960 yes yes that is a great summary and of 1217 00:45:15,829 --> 00:45:13,280 course it's not all about getting rich 1218 00:45:19,190 --> 00:45:15,839 but when someone minds bitcoin they're 1219 00:45:22,069 --> 00:45:19,200 in it for the reward which is that token 1220 00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:22,079 and quartal uses the court token i know 1221 00:45:27,589 --> 00:45:24,240 your liquidity pairs right now are 1222 00:45:31,030 --> 00:45:27,599 litecoin and doge and court trades at 1223 00:45:34,390 --> 00:45:31,040 about a dollar 46 1224 00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:34,400 according to your decentralized exchange 1225 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:37,040 platform and you have people running 1226 00:45:42,550 --> 00:45:40,319 their nodes and building up 30 40 even a 1227 00:45:43,510 --> 00:45:42,560 hundred thousand court 1228 00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:43,520 and 1229 00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:45,520 not that this is just about money but 1230 00:45:49,990 --> 00:45:48,240 that sounds like real money man and i'm 1231 00:45:51,510 --> 00:45:50,000 still trying to work out 1232 00:45:54,550 --> 00:45:51,520 how this all 1233 00:45:57,750 --> 00:45:54,560 would play out for a newbie because it 1234 00:46:01,349 --> 00:45:57,760 seems like level one would receive five 1235 00:46:02,710 --> 00:46:01,359 percent of the block rewards and 1236 00:46:05,910 --> 00:46:02,720 you said 1237 00:46:10,230 --> 00:46:05,920 7 200 blocks takes about five days so 1238 00:46:12,309 --> 00:46:10,240 dividing that down it's like 1440 a day 1239 00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:12,319 uh it's just it starts to get kind of 1240 00:46:18,069 --> 00:46:15,280 complicated but i was unsure how much 1241 00:46:20,870 --> 00:46:18,079 court is distributed per block 1242 00:46:24,550 --> 00:46:20,880 and just what sort of court yield would 1243 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:24,560 a level one person see in say a 30-day 1244 00:46:29,030 --> 00:46:26,640 period just for running a node on their 1245 00:46:30,790 --> 00:46:29,040 pc consistently 1246 00:46:33,030 --> 00:46:30,800 yeah that's a great question and of 1247 00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:33,040 course there's a lot of factors that 1248 00:46:37,349 --> 00:46:34,880 play because it depends on how many 1249 00:46:39,109 --> 00:46:37,359 nodes are running at the same time and 1250 00:46:42,630 --> 00:46:39,119 this is really built upon the network 1251 00:46:45,030 --> 00:46:42,640 effect so the beauty of the abundance 1252 00:46:47,190 --> 00:46:45,040 model the sharing model is that 1253 00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:47,200 the ideally here and another note you 1254 00:46:52,230 --> 00:46:48,880 kind of mentioned briefly greg is that 1255 00:46:53,670 --> 00:46:52,240 we are not on any centralized exchanges 1256 00:46:56,150 --> 00:46:53,680 the only way that you can get into 1257 00:46:58,790 --> 00:46:56,160 chordal is either by minting or by 1258 00:47:01,430 --> 00:46:58,800 coming in with currently doge or 1259 00:47:03,349 --> 00:47:01,440 litecoin we will be adding other 1260 00:47:05,670 --> 00:47:03,359 projects that we see are decentralized 1261 00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:05,680 enough to bring in so 1262 00:47:11,109 --> 00:47:09,359 ravencoin digibyte our other partner 1263 00:47:12,550 --> 00:47:11,119 that we're really aligned with is pirate 1264 00:47:15,109 --> 00:47:12,560 chain if you're familiar with them which 1265 00:47:17,270 --> 00:47:15,119 is a wonderful privacy coin 1266 00:47:18,470 --> 00:47:17,280 and so we are working with 1267 00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:18,480 monero 1268 00:47:21,190 --> 00:47:19,280 and 1269 00:47:24,790 --> 00:47:21,200 pirate chain to bring them in to give 1270 00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:24,800 some privacy options as well but yeah if 1271 00:47:29,750 --> 00:47:28,079 you go to the chordal wiki it has all 1272 00:47:33,190 --> 00:47:29,760 that information you can look at the 1273 00:47:37,030 --> 00:47:33,200 reward structure and how that works 1274 00:47:39,109 --> 00:47:37,040 now chordal has been around we've been 1275 00:47:41,510 --> 00:47:39,119 we will be going on a year and a half 1276 00:47:44,710 --> 00:47:41,520 two years now almost of running the 1277 00:47:46,150 --> 00:47:44,720 blockchain and the founders we did not 1278 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:46,160 pre-mine anything there was no 1279 00:47:49,109 --> 00:47:48,000 pre-minting you you basically started 1280 00:47:51,109 --> 00:47:49,119 day one 1281 00:47:52,790 --> 00:47:51,119 and those who were running nodes were 1282 00:47:55,510 --> 00:47:52,800 getting a bigger piece of the pie 1283 00:47:57,190 --> 00:47:55,520 because they were early adopters so 1284 00:47:59,349 --> 00:47:57,200 that's why you're seeing some of those 1285 00:48:01,109 --> 00:47:59,359 larger coin holders 1286 00:48:04,870 --> 00:48:01,119 able to put those buys out and those 1287 00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:04,880 cells out because they were early on but 1288 00:48:08,470 --> 00:48:06,480 i want to be very clear there was no 1289 00:48:10,390 --> 00:48:08,480 pre-mine or anything it's like a proof 1290 00:48:11,750 --> 00:48:10,400 of work in a sense we had a genesis 1291 00:48:13,270 --> 00:48:11,760 block and then everybody was able to 1292 00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:13,280 join the network and start sharing in 1293 00:48:18,710 --> 00:48:15,839 the rewards every minute but if you go 1294 00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:18,720 to the chordal wiki page and you look at 1295 00:48:21,829 --> 00:48:20,400 the minting overview 1296 00:48:24,150 --> 00:48:21,839 they have the block rewards and 1297 00:48:27,349 --> 00:48:24,160 distribution laid out there 1298 00:48:29,030 --> 00:48:27,359 and so it does depend upon like how many 1299 00:48:30,870 --> 00:48:29,040 nodes are running and we're getting you 1300 00:48:33,190 --> 00:48:30,880 know we have more full nodes running on 1301 00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:33,200 our network than litecoin does now 1302 00:48:37,270 --> 00:48:34,960 which is pretty fascinating considering 1303 00:48:38,790 --> 00:48:37,280 how much of a legacy blockchain that is 1304 00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:38,800 and kind of worrying if you start to 1305 00:48:42,309 --> 00:48:40,640 think about it in terms of something as 1306 00:48:43,589 --> 00:48:42,319 big as litecoin 1307 00:48:45,910 --> 00:48:43,599 but 1308 00:48:47,750 --> 00:48:45,920 the way it works is like and this is a 1309 00:48:49,750 --> 00:48:47,760 great question and i'm probably not the 1310 00:48:52,710 --> 00:48:49,760 best person to ask and i think i would 1311 00:48:54,470 --> 00:48:52,720 love for you to have jason crowe on 1312 00:48:55,910 --> 00:48:54,480 he is really the technologist and the 1313 00:48:57,589 --> 00:48:55,920 person who 1314 00:48:59,829 --> 00:48:57,599 really was like the guy who brought this 1315 00:49:02,470 --> 00:48:59,839 all together with the coders and he's 1316 00:49:04,790 --> 00:49:02,480 much more knowledgeable about how those 1317 00:49:08,150 --> 00:49:04,800 rewards would work in terms of 1318 00:49:10,309 --> 00:49:08,160 practicalities but i would say 1319 00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:10,319 in a month's time considering my 1320 00:49:14,790 --> 00:49:12,480 eight-year-old is doing it 1321 00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:14,800 just from practicality from what he's 1322 00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:18,240 seen he's earned only about i would say 1323 00:49:20,710 --> 00:49:19,680 five or six 1324 00:49:22,790 --> 00:49:20,720 coin 1325 00:49:25,109 --> 00:49:22,800 court in that month's time 1326 00:49:28,069 --> 00:49:25,119 so it's not a ton 1327 00:49:30,790 --> 00:49:28,079 however the idea here is 1328 00:49:33,190 --> 00:49:30,800 with the network effect we're looking i 1329 00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:33,200 mean ideally what i'm looking at is 1330 00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:36,400 court hitting going from a dollar ten to 1331 00:49:40,870 --> 00:49:38,160 exponential growth for the next year to 1332 00:49:42,630 --> 00:49:40,880 hitting easily 10 to 15 dollars a coin 1333 00:49:44,790 --> 00:49:42,640 by next summer 1334 00:49:46,710 --> 00:49:44,800 i think with the way crypto's going i 1335 00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:46,720 wouldn't be surprised if it starts to 1336 00:49:51,190 --> 00:49:49,200 hit a hundred dollars a coin within 1337 00:49:52,950 --> 00:49:51,200 a little over a year with the way the 1338 00:49:54,870 --> 00:49:52,960 model is working so 1339 00:49:56,710 --> 00:49:54,880 it's an amazing way to get in right now 1340 00:49:58,710 --> 00:49:56,720 and we know how crypto works 1341 00:50:01,030 --> 00:49:58,720 with how the centralized markets work 1342 00:50:03,030 --> 00:50:01,040 with the pump and up schemes and and all 1343 00:50:05,190 --> 00:50:03,040 of those ploys we've tried to stay out 1344 00:50:07,990 --> 00:50:05,200 of that as much as we can we're not into 1345 00:50:10,710 --> 00:50:08,000 the casino crypto racket we're really 1346 00:50:12,950 --> 00:50:10,720 all about adoption we're about utility 1347 00:50:14,950 --> 00:50:12,960 so in the end the court coin is really 1348 00:50:17,589 --> 00:50:14,960 just a utility coin 1349 00:50:19,510 --> 00:50:17,599 it'll be used for the services and then 1350 00:50:21,990 --> 00:50:19,520 down the line we will launch the ability 1351 00:50:24,150 --> 00:50:22,000 to create assets and so that those who 1352 00:50:27,349 --> 00:50:24,160 want to develop new economic models a 1353 00:50:29,670 --> 00:50:27,359 new kind of unique methodologies for how 1354 00:50:30,630 --> 00:50:29,680 economies can work we can do that all on 1355 00:50:31,670 --> 00:50:30,640 chordal 1356 00:50:33,430 --> 00:50:31,680 so 1357 00:50:34,870 --> 00:50:33,440 you know if you wanted to even i know a 1358 00:50:36,950 --> 00:50:34,880 lot of projects do this but if you 1359 00:50:39,270 --> 00:50:36,960 wanted to you know put out the higher 1360 00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:39,280 side chat coin you could easily do that 1361 00:50:44,309 --> 00:50:41,440 as an asset and then it would still be 1362 00:50:46,549 --> 00:50:44,319 based on the proof of time model 1363 00:50:48,710 --> 00:50:46,559 however we will allow though down the 1364 00:50:51,109 --> 00:50:48,720 line like for instance i'm working on a 1365 00:50:52,390 --> 00:50:51,119 proof of experience model that would use 1366 00:50:55,190 --> 00:50:52,400 the court 1367 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:55,200 sub architecture in terms of the hosting 1368 00:50:59,349 --> 00:50:56,880 and the data hosting 1369 00:51:02,390 --> 00:50:59,359 as the substructure but then have a kind 1370 00:51:04,630 --> 00:51:02,400 of a different consensus algo on top of 1371 00:51:08,230 --> 00:51:04,640 that in terms of an actual economic 1372 00:51:10,549 --> 00:51:08,240 model built upon sharing experiences 1373 00:51:13,510 --> 00:51:10,559 so exciting stuff really this will be 1374 00:51:15,670 --> 00:51:13,520 the sub-level layer of the data hosting 1375 00:51:17,270 --> 00:51:15,680 and the web hosting 1376 00:51:19,990 --> 00:51:17,280 and one other thing that's really unique 1377 00:51:23,349 --> 00:51:20,000 about chordal 2 is you 1378 00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:23,359 define your own name to your single 1379 00:51:26,710 --> 00:51:24,800 public address now you can create as 1380 00:51:28,630 --> 00:51:26,720 many accounts as you want as many 1381 00:51:30,630 --> 00:51:28,640 addresses as you want but your one 1382 00:51:32,950 --> 00:51:30,640 account basically there's one public 1383 00:51:34,790 --> 00:51:32,960 address per account and then there you 1384 00:51:38,069 --> 00:51:34,800 can register a name and that name will 1385 00:51:39,990 --> 00:51:38,079 be individually unique on the blockchain 1386 00:51:41,670 --> 00:51:40,000 and that is going to be the hosts the 1387 00:51:42,870 --> 00:51:41,680 host names the domain names of the 1388 00:51:45,030 --> 00:51:42,880 future 1389 00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:45,040 so very exciting because we are 1390 00:51:50,230 --> 00:51:48,160 basically taking out the icann 1391 00:51:51,990 --> 00:51:50,240 centralized model that we know during 1392 00:51:53,109 --> 00:51:52,000 the obama administration was given to 1393 00:51:55,190 --> 00:51:53,119 the un 1394 00:51:57,030 --> 00:51:55,200 which is a huge choke point for the 1395 00:51:59,030 --> 00:51:57,040 future for free speech on the 1396 00:51:59,910 --> 00:51:59,040 traditional internet 1397 00:52:02,390 --> 00:51:59,920 yes 1398 00:52:04,470 --> 00:52:02,400 very exciting stuff probably a little 1399 00:52:06,630 --> 00:52:04,480 dense for some people in this audience 1400 00:52:08,230 --> 00:52:06,640 but it's a wide net of people that 1401 00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:08,240 listen to the show and i'm sure some are 1402 00:52:10,950 --> 00:52:09,760 onto this stuff 1403 00:52:13,190 --> 00:52:10,960 you can be 1404 00:52:16,069 --> 00:52:13,200 scared of it and skeptical of it but 1405 00:52:18,470 --> 00:52:16,079 this crypto thing is happening and just 1406 00:52:21,190 --> 00:52:18,480 like the internet happened if you had 1407 00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:21,200 paid better attention to the 1408 00:52:25,829 --> 00:52:23,520 first steps of that technology you 1409 00:52:27,990 --> 00:52:25,839 probably would be retired right now and 1410 00:52:31,030 --> 00:52:28,000 i think the same can be said for crypto 1411 00:52:33,270 --> 00:52:31,040 and not every project has a nefarious 1412 00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:33,280 intention in fact most of them don't the 1413 00:52:37,990 --> 00:52:35,040 ones that have 1414 00:52:40,870 --> 00:52:38,000 kind of uh sketchy funding and get the 1415 00:52:43,829 --> 00:52:40,880 most publicity maybe do but you can dig 1416 00:52:46,470 --> 00:52:43,839 beyond those projects even the nft space 1417 00:52:49,430 --> 00:52:46,480 is very interesting the 1418 00:52:50,790 --> 00:52:49,440 criticism of the nft space is oh people 1419 00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:50,800 are just paying a hundred thousand 1420 00:52:55,349 --> 00:52:52,800 dollars for a piece of digital art well 1421 00:52:58,069 --> 00:52:55,359 if you dig deeper that digital art 1422 00:53:00,230 --> 00:52:58,079 actually gives you a ticket to a private 1423 00:53:02,710 --> 00:53:00,240 community that does distribute a coin in 1424 00:53:05,510 --> 00:53:02,720 most cases and that coin can then be 1425 00:53:08,230 --> 00:53:05,520 converted to fiat and so in some 1426 00:53:09,829 --> 00:53:08,240 situations owning this quote-unquote 1427 00:53:12,470 --> 00:53:09,839 piece of digital art 1428 00:53:14,630 --> 00:53:12,480 actually is more like a money printer of 1429 00:53:17,270 --> 00:53:14,640 digital currency and the reason why 1430 00:53:19,829 --> 00:53:17,280 they're selling for a million dollars is 1431 00:53:21,750 --> 00:53:19,839 because they generate say 1432 00:53:24,230 --> 00:53:21,760 two thousand dollars a month so if you 1433 00:53:26,549 --> 00:53:24,240 have something that generates you two 1434 00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:26,559 thousand dollars of income a month what 1435 00:53:30,630 --> 00:53:28,480 price would you put on it because i'd 1436 00:53:32,069 --> 00:53:30,640 probably say a pretty high price and 1437 00:53:34,309 --> 00:53:32,079 that's the issue 1438 00:53:36,549 --> 00:53:34,319 and they're never telling you that on 1439 00:53:37,990 --> 00:53:36,559 television when stephen colbert decides 1440 00:53:40,150 --> 00:53:38,000 to on 1441 00:53:41,750 --> 00:53:40,160 crypto and nfts they don't mention that 1442 00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:41,760 part that a lot of people are finding 1443 00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:43,920 financial independence through this i 1444 00:53:47,349 --> 00:53:45,440 get pretty jazzed up about it i don't 1445 00:53:48,870 --> 00:53:47,359 feel like it really fits with thc all 1446 00:53:50,790 --> 00:53:48,880 that much so i kind of just keep it to 1447 00:53:52,630 --> 00:53:50,800 myself but 1448 00:53:55,109 --> 00:53:52,640 you mentioned the host names of the 1449 00:53:56,630 --> 00:53:55,119 future and this is an area i wanted to 1450 00:53:58,790 --> 00:53:56,640 talk to you about because i know it is 1451 00:54:01,829 --> 00:53:58,800 in chordal's future plans to implement 1452 00:54:04,549 --> 00:54:01,839 web hosting and there are a few projects 1453 00:54:07,829 --> 00:54:04,559 trying to do this and it's all very new 1454 00:54:09,030 --> 00:54:07,839 but a decentralized internet is very 1455 00:54:11,510 --> 00:54:09,040 important to 1456 00:54:13,349 --> 00:54:11,520 someone who hosts a podcast like mine 1457 00:54:15,030 --> 00:54:13,359 but the details are still pretty fuzzy 1458 00:54:17,190 --> 00:54:15,040 i'm curious 1459 00:54:20,309 --> 00:54:17,200 in some cases would this still be able 1460 00:54:22,630 --> 00:54:20,319 to use a dot-com url could it still be a 1461 00:54:24,950 --> 00:54:22,640 wordpress-based website i mean i've 1462 00:54:26,950 --> 00:54:24,960 changed hosting providers several times 1463 00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:26,960 over the years but what are the major 1464 00:54:32,069 --> 00:54:29,760 differences in blockchain based hosting 1465 00:54:34,309 --> 00:54:32,079 and how different it has to be does it 1466 00:54:36,630 --> 00:54:34,319 plug into the conventional internet or 1467 00:54:38,870 --> 00:54:36,640 is it really its own thing 1468 00:54:40,789 --> 00:54:38,880 yes great great question and and just as 1469 00:54:43,430 --> 00:54:40,799 a side to your 1470 00:54:46,630 --> 00:54:43,440 comment on the nft space and everything 1471 00:54:48,870 --> 00:54:46,640 it's all about consensus understanding 1472 00:54:50,950 --> 00:54:48,880 as a community what something of value 1473 00:54:53,349 --> 00:54:50,960 is and if everybody comes to consensus 1474 00:54:55,670 --> 00:54:53,359 on something that's all money is we came 1475 00:54:59,109 --> 00:54:55,680 to consensus that gold had value because 1476 00:55:02,150 --> 00:54:59,119 it was scarce and it lasts forever and 1477 00:55:05,589 --> 00:55:02,160 so we use that as a foundational metric 1478 00:55:07,990 --> 00:55:05,599 to underscore value of exchange and the 1479 00:55:10,549 --> 00:55:08,000 nft space people as long as it's 1480 00:55:13,109 --> 00:55:10,559 transparent and truly decentralized and 1481 00:55:15,990 --> 00:55:13,119 also immutable which is the beauty of 1482 00:55:17,829 --> 00:55:16,000 blockchain then i don't really care 1483 00:55:21,109 --> 00:55:17,839 if people are coming to consensus that 1484 00:55:23,589 --> 00:55:21,119 jelly beans digital jelly beans that 1485 00:55:24,710 --> 00:55:23,599 are set in specific parameters by code 1486 00:55:26,549 --> 00:55:24,720 and that are done in a way that are 1487 00:55:28,390 --> 00:55:26,559 decentralized and they're transparent 1488 00:55:30,069 --> 00:55:28,400 once again and immutable 1489 00:55:32,789 --> 00:55:30,079 then go for it 1490 00:55:35,270 --> 00:55:32,799 i also find it really exciting that like 1491 00:55:37,190 --> 00:55:35,280 this is being tied to hard assets like 1492 00:55:39,670 --> 00:55:37,200 art like banksy's art he's you know 1493 00:55:41,750 --> 00:55:39,680 breaking that into pieces and people can 1494 00:55:43,589 --> 00:55:41,760 own and have equity in through a 1495 00:55:45,750 --> 00:55:43,599 tokenization so 1496 00:55:48,150 --> 00:55:45,760 yes there is so much exciting stuff in 1497 00:55:49,670 --> 00:55:48,160 this space but i will stress it needs to 1498 00:55:51,510 --> 00:55:49,680 be decentralized 1499 00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:51,520 now that being said 1500 00:55:55,190 --> 00:55:53,520 in terms of your question about the 1501 00:55:57,829 --> 00:55:55,200 hosting and the internet 1502 00:56:00,309 --> 00:55:57,839 we must be very clear here blockchain is 1503 00:56:01,190 --> 00:56:00,319 not ideal for handling large amounts of 1504 00:56:04,710 --> 00:56:01,200 data 1505 00:56:07,030 --> 00:56:04,720 but blockchain is really good for 1506 00:56:09,510 --> 00:56:07,040 keeping that transparent immutable 1507 00:56:13,190 --> 00:56:09,520 ledger and so if we do this in the right 1508 00:56:15,589 --> 00:56:13,200 way which i vision cordle doing i think 1509 00:56:17,910 --> 00:56:15,599 we can really fix a lot of the problems 1510 00:56:21,430 --> 00:56:17,920 we have with censorship with the 1511 00:56:23,670 --> 00:56:21,440 problems with the centralization of isps 1512 00:56:25,430 --> 00:56:23,680 and we'll get into isps in a second but 1513 00:56:27,750 --> 00:56:25,440 in the hosting companies and the domain 1514 00:56:29,910 --> 00:56:27,760 providers coming in i have friends that 1515 00:56:31,349 --> 00:56:29,920 have had lost their websites because 1516 00:56:33,990 --> 00:56:31,359 literally the hosting company didn't 1517 00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:34,000 like what they were putting out there so 1518 00:56:38,870 --> 00:56:36,720 how does this work with chordal 1519 00:56:40,390 --> 00:56:38,880 essentially very similar to like a 1520 00:56:42,789 --> 00:56:40,400 bittorrent 1521 00:56:47,030 --> 00:56:42,799 where you will basically be able to run 1522 00:56:49,589 --> 00:56:47,040 a node that will have ability to 1523 00:56:52,470 --> 00:56:49,599 spread and share the bits of the data 1524 00:56:54,630 --> 00:56:52,480 across the entire network that is done 1525 00:56:56,150 --> 00:56:54,640 not on a blockchain that is done on a 1526 00:56:57,670 --> 00:56:56,160 more traditional 1527 00:56:59,990 --> 00:56:57,680 sort of technology that something like 1528 00:57:02,150 --> 00:57:00,000 bittorrent would use however the 1529 00:57:03,190 --> 00:57:02,160 blockchain is extremely important 1530 00:57:05,190 --> 00:57:03,200 because 1531 00:57:08,710 --> 00:57:05,200 in essence the time stamping the 1532 00:57:11,750 --> 00:57:08,720 authority the name like we mentioned 1533 00:57:14,150 --> 00:57:11,760 that is set in stone and basically 1534 00:57:17,030 --> 00:57:14,160 provides authorship and authority and 1535 00:57:20,309 --> 00:57:17,040 ownership in a way that is immutable 1536 00:57:21,829 --> 00:57:20,319 transparent and decentralized so it's 1537 00:57:23,430 --> 00:57:21,839 kind of might be hard for some people to 1538 00:57:25,750 --> 00:57:23,440 wrap their head around 1539 00:57:26,950 --> 00:57:25,760 oh and also the economic model right the 1540 00:57:28,150 --> 00:57:26,960 ability to 1541 00:57:31,349 --> 00:57:28,160 be able to 1542 00:57:32,630 --> 00:57:31,359 make a living off it is important so 1543 00:57:34,950 --> 00:57:32,640 that being said 1544 00:57:37,190 --> 00:57:34,960 yes you will be able to 1545 00:57:39,109 --> 00:57:37,200 patch in the legacy system it's just a 1546 00:57:41,750 --> 00:57:39,119 question of how centralized you want to 1547 00:57:43,750 --> 00:57:41,760 play so you can 1548 00:57:45,349 --> 00:57:43,760 with chordal which we're only a month 1549 00:57:47,829 --> 00:57:45,359 and a half away from launching which is 1550 00:57:50,150 --> 00:57:47,839 very very exciting you will be able to 1551 00:57:51,990 --> 00:57:50,160 put on the right now to run chordal you 1552 00:57:53,910 --> 00:57:52,000 have to install the chordal node which 1553 00:57:56,390 --> 00:57:53,920 is the core which is running the 1554 00:57:57,829 --> 00:57:56,400 blockchain and then the user interface 1555 00:57:59,349 --> 00:57:57,839 right the software that allows you to 1556 00:58:00,390 --> 00:57:59,359 interact with it without having to know 1557 00:58:02,390 --> 00:58:00,400 code 1558 00:58:03,990 --> 00:58:02,400 once you do that in the user interface 1559 00:58:06,150 --> 00:58:04,000 there will essentially be like a web 1560 00:58:08,390 --> 00:58:06,160 browser in that web browser you'll be 1561 00:58:09,430 --> 00:58:08,400 able to browse everybody's websites that 1562 00:58:11,510 --> 00:58:09,440 are hosted 1563 00:58:13,030 --> 00:58:11,520 using the chordal blockchain 1564 00:58:15,349 --> 00:58:13,040 infrastructure 1565 00:58:17,589 --> 00:58:15,359 that will be able to easily be pull up 1566 00:58:19,589 --> 00:58:17,599 on anyone's name so 1567 00:58:21,430 --> 00:58:19,599 you can have higher side chats on the 1568 00:58:22,710 --> 00:58:21,440 blockchain it'll be the only higher side 1569 00:58:24,950 --> 00:58:22,720 chats 1570 00:58:26,630 --> 00:58:24,960 and people can pull that up and we will 1571 00:58:28,789 --> 00:58:26,640 have we actually already have it built 1572 00:58:31,430 --> 00:58:28,799 in i think it's already been tested a 1573 00:58:33,270 --> 00:58:31,440 wordpress importer so with a click of a 1574 00:58:36,150 --> 00:58:33,280 button you can import your wordpress 1575 00:58:37,750 --> 00:58:36,160 site and the html and the css and the 1576 00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:37,760 javascript all the front end will be 1577 00:58:41,109 --> 00:58:39,359 transferred over and it will be 1578 00:58:45,030 --> 00:58:41,119 interwoven into 1579 00:58:46,470 --> 00:58:45,040 the chordal data service 1580 00:58:49,270 --> 00:58:46,480 and basically 1581 00:58:51,510 --> 00:58:49,280 any basic html blog 1582 00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:51,520 any structure like that for phase one 1583 00:58:57,349 --> 00:58:54,880 can be brought over fairly easily 1584 00:59:00,069 --> 00:58:57,359 if you want to then have a forwarding a 1585 00:59:02,630 --> 00:59:00,079 port forwarding or you know through your 1586 00:59:04,549 --> 00:59:02,640 traditional domain you can do that so 1587 00:59:07,910 --> 00:59:04,559 because this is 1588 00:59:10,150 --> 00:59:07,920 using the layer sockets of the internet 1589 00:59:13,190 --> 00:59:10,160 you can actually use a traditional 1590 00:59:15,990 --> 00:59:13,200 domain forward and forward with even use 1591 00:59:18,470 --> 00:59:16,000 it so it's a pretty domain so someone 1592 00:59:20,870 --> 00:59:18,480 can still go to hiresightchats.com 1593 00:59:22,630 --> 00:59:20,880 it'll then forward to the data layer of 1594 00:59:24,630 --> 00:59:22,640 the chordal network 1595 00:59:27,109 --> 00:59:24,640 you can have it so the user wouldn't 1596 00:59:29,589 --> 00:59:27,119 even really know they were using chordal 1597 00:59:31,829 --> 00:59:29,599 now that is a centralized mechanism you 1598 00:59:34,390 --> 00:59:31,839 are using to allow for users to easily 1599 00:59:35,829 --> 00:59:34,400 access it but that's totally doable 1600 00:59:38,309 --> 00:59:35,839 right out of the gate 1601 00:59:40,789 --> 00:59:38,319 so yes to answer your question you can 1602 00:59:43,750 --> 00:59:40,799 use kind of legacy systems with chordal 1603 00:59:46,309 --> 00:59:43,760 to have still a decentralized back-end 1604 00:59:47,910 --> 00:59:46,319 but allow for the newbie to engage 1605 00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:47,920 without much 1606 00:59:52,549 --> 00:59:50,480 technological discovery 1607 00:59:55,750 --> 00:59:52,559 right on right on well that's a great 1608 00:59:58,069 --> 00:59:55,760 explanation it is important to 1609 00:59:59,750 --> 00:59:58,079 shore up our game if we want to avoid 1610 01:00:01,829 --> 00:59:59,760 the censorship 1611 01:00:04,470 --> 01:00:01,839 crackdown but then also 1612 01:00:06,630 --> 01:00:04,480 we need good usability for people who 1613 01:00:09,589 --> 01:00:06,640 aren't so technical so that's a 1614 01:00:11,910 --> 01:00:09,599 beautiful thing i love it and 1615 01:00:14,470 --> 01:00:11,920 man we have just covered a lot and i had 1616 01:00:17,109 --> 01:00:14,480 a good time doing it we know we can't 1617 01:00:19,270 --> 01:00:17,119 get honest answers from the enslavement 1618 01:00:20,950 --> 01:00:19,280 system so we have to talk these things 1619 01:00:22,630 --> 01:00:20,960 out ourselves with the people who have a 1620 01:00:24,549 --> 01:00:22,640 knack for them so i appreciate the 1621 01:00:26,950 --> 01:00:24,559 insights maybe we should close with a 1622 01:00:29,750 --> 01:00:26,960 bit about music and sky or any of the 1623 01:00:30,870 --> 01:00:29,760 other irons in the mic winter fire tell 1624 01:00:32,390 --> 01:00:30,880 them what they should know about 1625 01:00:34,069 --> 01:00:32,400 following up on the things you have 1626 01:00:37,190 --> 01:00:34,079 going on 1627 01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:37,200 yeah thanks greg so when 2020 hit hard 1628 01:00:39,829 --> 01:00:38,160 and 1629 01:00:42,549 --> 01:00:39,839 we were told we are not allowed to meet 1630 01:00:43,670 --> 01:00:42,559 in person or enjoy life anymore 1631 01:00:45,270 --> 01:00:43,680 one thing a lot of people don't know 1632 01:00:47,670 --> 01:00:45,280 about me is i've been an underground 1633 01:00:49,510 --> 01:00:47,680 house dj going on 20 years 1634 01:00:52,150 --> 01:00:49,520 and it's my favorite thing to do in the 1635 01:00:54,710 --> 01:00:52,160 world i used to play raves and actually 1636 01:00:55,990 --> 01:00:54,720 down in san diego i used to play at off 1637 01:00:58,230 --> 01:00:56,000 broadway i think it's called 1638 01:00:59,990 --> 01:00:58,240 off-broadway or on broadway it was a big 1639 01:01:01,349 --> 01:01:00,000 nightclub down there in the gaslamp 1640 01:01:03,270 --> 01:01:01,359 district 1641 01:01:04,710 --> 01:01:03,280 when that was happening i was like my 1642 01:01:06,069 --> 01:01:04,720 friends hit me up we're like we're gonna 1643 01:01:07,589 --> 01:01:06,079 put on an event 1644 01:01:09,510 --> 01:01:07,599 and we're gonna buck the trend we're 1645 01:01:11,750 --> 01:01:09,520 gonna do it in joshua tree and we want 1646 01:01:14,150 --> 01:01:11,760 it to be all holistic health-minded but 1647 01:01:16,069 --> 01:01:14,160 kind of got that underground house music 1648 01:01:17,270 --> 01:01:16,079 thing going but we're gonna do it and 1649 01:01:19,109 --> 01:01:17,280 people thought we were crazy and we 1650 01:01:21,589 --> 01:01:19,119 called it music and sky it was actually 1651 01:01:23,270 --> 01:01:21,599 kind of an offshoot from a burning man 1652 01:01:25,829 --> 01:01:23,280 decompression party that had been going 1653 01:01:27,910 --> 01:01:25,839 on for about 10 years but we changed it 1654 01:01:30,870 --> 01:01:27,920 we flipped it into a totally holistic 1655 01:01:32,950 --> 01:01:30,880 minded event family event with ice baths 1656 01:01:34,630 --> 01:01:32,960 and meditation and all this great stuff 1657 01:01:37,349 --> 01:01:34,640 that we talked about with alpha vedic 1658 01:01:39,750 --> 01:01:37,359 and so that's now gone two years and we 1659 01:01:42,470 --> 01:01:39,760 now moved it up to the sierras in this 1660 01:01:44,470 --> 01:01:42,480 beautiful location and it's all we have 1661 01:01:46,150 --> 01:01:44,480 speakers like david avocado wolf was 1662 01:01:47,190 --> 01:01:46,160 there rynette cena who's running for 1663 01:01:49,510 --> 01:01:47,200 governor 1664 01:01:52,549 --> 01:01:49,520 all sorts of fantastic characters it has 1665 01:01:54,630 --> 01:01:52,559 a 24 hour live art gallery a children's 1666 01:01:57,270 --> 01:01:54,640 stage now a children's village it's very 1667 01:02:00,069 --> 01:01:57,280 family oriented and it's a 24-hour like 1668 01:02:01,990 --> 01:02:00,079 camping festival it goes for a few days 1669 01:02:03,589 --> 01:02:02,000 and so that is something probably my 1670 01:02:06,549 --> 01:02:03,599 favorite thing of time of the year and 1671 01:02:07,990 --> 01:02:06,559 we do that typically may june 1672 01:02:10,549 --> 01:02:08,000 last year we did it on the fourth of 1673 01:02:12,069 --> 01:02:10,559 july weekend it was fantastic so that's 1674 01:02:14,069 --> 01:02:12,079 called music and sky and you can check 1675 01:02:16,069 --> 01:02:14,079 that out music and sky dot com and we'll 1676 01:02:17,670 --> 01:02:16,079 be doing it again this year and then we 1677 01:02:19,990 --> 01:02:17,680 take a lot of those talks and we put 1678 01:02:22,309 --> 01:02:20,000 them out on a summit format the first 1679 01:02:24,549 --> 01:02:22,319 one was called reunion summit which i do 1680 01:02:27,270 --> 01:02:24,559 with josh del sol who did the 5g summit 1681 01:02:30,309 --> 01:02:27,280 with sayer g from green med info 1682 01:02:32,950 --> 01:02:30,319 and that's now kind of blossomed into 1683 01:02:34,910 --> 01:02:32,960 the event which is happening god next 1684 01:02:37,190 --> 01:02:34,920 week if you go to 1685 01:02:38,470 --> 01:02:37,200 alphabetic.com forward

01:03:38,309 --> 01:03:36,880 for doing this tell bear i said hey and 1709 01:03:42,630 --> 01:03:38,319 take care 1710 01:03:47,750 --> 01:03:45,670 yes people mike winner bulletproof tiger 1711 01:03:49,829 --> 01:03:47,760 really enjoyed this one always nice to 1712 01:03:51,190 --> 01:03:49,839 get a fellow podcaster with a quality 1713 01:03:53,349 --> 01:03:51,200 setup on 1714 01:03:55,990 --> 01:03:53,359 and i'm glad we could focus a portion of 1715 01:03:57,670 --> 01:03:56,000 an episode on the positive applications 1716 01:03:59,589 --> 01:03:57,680 of blockchain tech rather than just 1717 01:04:01,349 --> 01:03:59,599 saying crypto bad 1718 01:04:04,470 --> 01:04:01,359 because i don't think that's ever a very 1719 01:04:06,870 --> 01:04:04,480 good approach it's intellectually lazy 1720 01:04:09,029 --> 01:04:06,880 and you can just mentally shut yourself 1721 01:04:11,430 --> 01:04:09,039 off and ignore the massive amount of 1722 01:04:14,390 --> 01:04:11,440 nuance in the crypto world 1723 01:04:17,349 --> 01:04:14,400 or you could resist the temptation for 1724 01:04:18,870 --> 01:04:17,359 simple thinking and go deeper 1725 01:04:20,630 --> 01:04:18,880 you know when i'm interviewed on other 1726 01:04:22,390 --> 01:04:20,640 shows and they want to get into the 1727 01:04:24,950 --> 01:04:22,400 history of thc 1728 01:04:27,190 --> 01:04:24,960 i always say it was a hail mary because 1729 01:04:28,710 --> 01:04:27,200 i was in a pretty desperate hail mary 1730 01:04:31,190 --> 01:04:28,720 situation 1731 01:04:35,029 --> 01:04:31,200 while the opportunities in crypto and 1732 01:04:37,029 --> 01:04:35,039 defy and nfts they're there 1733 01:04:38,789 --> 01:04:37,039 and some of them are also hail mary's 1734 01:04:41,349 --> 01:04:38,799 but they are within reach and it just 1735 01:04:42,710 --> 01:04:41,359 takes some time to learn and vet various 1736 01:04:44,630 --> 01:04:42,720 projects 1737 01:04:46,950 --> 01:04:44,640 you could say it's like the stock market 1738 01:04:49,190 --> 01:04:46,960 in that you should put your money into 1739 01:04:51,430 --> 01:04:49,200 things that you believe in and avoid 1740 01:04:53,670 --> 01:04:51,440 weapons manufacturers and vaccine 1741 01:04:54,470 --> 01:04:53,680 manufacturers and maybe that's the same 1742 01:04:56,069 --> 01:04:54,480 thing 1743 01:04:59,029 --> 01:04:56,079 sounded more like it every day but you 1744 01:05:01,910 --> 01:04:59,039 know what i mean nobody says companies 1745 01:05:04,390 --> 01:05:01,920 full stop are blanket bad 1746 01:05:07,670 --> 01:05:04,400 so it's not the worst idea in the world 1747 01:05:10,630 --> 01:05:07,680 to try and propel something like quartal 1748 01:05:12,870 --> 01:05:10,640 and other decentralized projects 1749 01:05:15,270 --> 01:05:12,880 or engage in defy 1750 01:05:17,349 --> 01:05:15,280 which stands for decentralized finance 1751 01:05:19,589 --> 01:05:17,359 something i thought we all wanted 1752 01:05:21,670 --> 01:05:19,599 we have networks and exchanges that have 1753 01:05:23,910 --> 01:05:21,680 harnessed the tools that banks have used 1754 01:05:25,910 --> 01:05:23,920 for years to make money on money and 1755 01:05:28,150 --> 01:05:25,920 they've given access to little old you 1756 01:05:30,390 --> 01:05:28,160 and me to engage with that 1757 01:05:32,150 --> 01:05:30,400 savings accounts that have huge yields 1758 01:05:33,990 --> 01:05:32,160 even on stable coins if you don't like 1759 01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:34,000 the risk of something like bitcoin or 1760 01:05:37,910 --> 01:05:35,520 ethereum 1761 01:05:40,069 --> 01:05:37,920 but blockchain web hosting is super 1762 01:05:42,309 --> 01:05:40,079 exciting to me decentralizing the 1763 01:05:44,470 --> 01:05:42,319 internet itself and having no company 1764 01:05:45,829 --> 01:05:44,480 that can turn off your site 1765 01:05:47,990 --> 01:05:45,839 you can bet i'm going to be watching 1766 01:05:51,190 --> 01:05:48,000 that space and pouncing on it when the 1767 01:05:53,109 --> 01:05:51,200 tech is ready not only is it still a 1768 01:05:55,109 --> 01:05:53,119 little soon for a quartal but even other 1769 01:05:57,430 --> 01:05:55,119 projects are still saying that it's on 1770 01:05:59,029 --> 01:05:57,440 their roadmap down the line 1771 01:06:01,349 --> 01:05:59,039 but i do have some friends that are in 1772 01:06:03,829 --> 01:06:01,359 jobs that they hate 1773 01:06:06,549 --> 01:06:03,839 just trying to get by and they have put 1774 01:06:10,069 --> 01:06:06,559 a thousand or two into a crypto yielding 1775 01:06:12,950 --> 01:06:10,079 account or some kind of liquidity pool 1776 01:06:15,829 --> 01:06:12,960 and they're generating like 50 60 75 1777 01:06:18,069 --> 01:06:15,839 bucks a day whether they're on the clock 1778 01:06:19,589 --> 01:06:18,079 or not and that's the magic of passive 1779 01:06:20,789 --> 01:06:19,599 income and there are opportunities in 1780 01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:20,799 crypto 1781 01:06:24,470 --> 01:06:22,319 just saying 1782 01:06:27,430 --> 01:06:24,480 and here's one example actually of the 1783 01:06:29,829 --> 01:06:27,440 wild west of crypto that 1784 01:06:32,150 --> 01:06:29,839 applies to me but there is a company 1785 01:06:34,230 --> 01:06:32,160 called ethereum name services and they 1786 01:06:36,470 --> 01:06:34,240 sell blockchain domain addresses so that 1787 01:06:38,710 --> 01:06:36,480 your wallet doesn't have to be this big 1788 01:06:40,270 --> 01:06:38,720 long string of letters and numbers 1789 01:06:42,230 --> 01:06:40,280 so i bought the 1790 01:06:43,990 --> 01:06:42,240 highersidechats.eth and made it my 1791 01:06:46,710 --> 01:06:44,000 metamask wallet 1792 01:06:48,390 --> 01:06:46,720 to buy domain is pretty cheap like 40 1793 01:06:50,870 --> 01:06:48,400 bucks or something 1794 01:06:53,430 --> 01:06:50,880 so now if anyone wanted to donate 1795 01:06:55,829 --> 01:06:53,440 ethereum to me or pay for a plus 1796 01:06:58,630 --> 01:06:55,839 membership in ethereum that's all you 1797 01:07:00,870 --> 01:06:58,640 have to know the highersidechats.eth 1798 01:07:03,029 --> 01:07:00,880 and that alone is pretty cool and if i 1799 01:07:05,270 --> 01:07:03,039 was even more forward thinking i should 1800 01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:05,280 have bought up a lot of other ones like 1801 01:07:09,670 --> 01:07:08,160 budweiser now owns beer.eth 1802 01:07:12,710 --> 01:07:09,680 you know i really could have capitalized 1803 01:07:14,950 --> 01:07:12,720 on all of this but the point is 1804 01:07:16,950 --> 01:07:14,960 ens the company decided they wanted to 1805 01:07:19,670 --> 01:07:16,960 launch a token of their own for their 1806 01:07:22,390 --> 01:07:19,680 own ecosystem common thing to do 1807 01:07:24,549 --> 01:07:22,400 and they airdropped the coins to people 1808 01:07:26,549 --> 01:07:24,559 based on the number of dot eth domains 1809 01:07:28,390 --> 01:07:26,559 they hold and how long they've held them 1810 01:07:29,990 --> 01:07:28,400 another reason that i wish i had gotten 1811 01:07:31,670 --> 01:07:30,000 more but there was no way to know this 1812 01:07:34,549 --> 01:07:31,680 at the time 1813 01:07:37,589 --> 01:07:34,559 but on the day of the airdrop i checked 1814 01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:37,599 my wallet and there's a handful of ens 1815 01:07:42,230 --> 01:07:40,400 coins and i checked the value of those 1816 01:07:45,029 --> 01:07:42,240 coins and it was about eight thousand 1817 01:07:47,750 --> 01:07:45,039 dollars so huge win 1818 01:07:50,309 --> 01:07:47,760 i sold off about half right away and 1819 01:07:53,029 --> 01:07:50,319 then the next day the value of the coin 1820 01:07:55,430 --> 01:07:53,039 skyrocketed and i sold the other half 1821 01:07:57,430 --> 01:07:55,440 for about four times that 1822 01:07:58,309 --> 01:07:57,440 so all in all i think it was like 1823 01:08:02,069 --> 01:07:58,319 12 1824 01:08:04,390 --> 01:08:02,079 or 14 000 and all i did was buy a domain 1825 01:08:05,349 --> 01:08:04,400 name for thc trying to be forward 1826 01:08:07,270 --> 01:08:05,359 thinking 1827 01:08:08,870 --> 01:08:07,280 for about 40 bucks 1828 01:08:11,990 --> 01:08:08,880 and i don't really know many other ways 1829 01:08:13,589 --> 01:08:12,000 to just come up on a couple grand 1830 01:08:15,109 --> 01:08:13,599 it definitely never happened for me at 1831 01:08:16,789 --> 01:08:15,119 gamestop 1832 01:08:19,110 --> 01:08:16,799 and it was really helpful because 1833 01:08:21,110 --> 01:08:19,120 getting risked out of the birth center 1834 01:08:24,630 --> 01:08:21,120 and rushed to the hospital and paying 1835 01:08:26,789 --> 01:08:24,640 for all of that and a three-night stay 1836 01:08:29,189 --> 01:08:26,799 well it was an unexpected expense and 1837 01:08:31,030 --> 01:08:29,199 this random airdrop really helped iron 1838 01:08:33,110 --> 01:08:31,040 it out for us 1839 01:08:35,910 --> 01:08:33,120 so yeah this isn't really a financial 1840 01:08:38,470 --> 01:08:35,920 advice podcast but since it was in the 1841 01:08:40,630 --> 01:08:38,480 mix of topics we talked about today 1842 01:08:41,749 --> 01:08:40,640 i would take the opportunity to say to 1843 01:08:44,390 --> 01:08:41,759 you guys 1844 01:08:45,590 --> 01:08:44,400 if you are tech savvy at all 1845 01:08:46,550 --> 01:08:45,600 i would 1846 01:08:47,430 --> 01:08:46,560 learn 1847 01:08:49,269 --> 01:08:47,440 about 1848 01:08:51,990 --> 01:08:49,279 terms like defy 1849 01:08:53,189 --> 01:08:52,000 staking and liquidity pools i would get 1850 01:08:55,430 --> 01:08:53,199 involved 1851 01:08:57,829 --> 01:08:55,440 it's not all about well i missed bitcoin 1852 01:09:00,709 --> 01:08:57,839 so i'm just gonna sit out 1853 01:09:03,189 --> 01:09:00,719 people say it's risky and it's volatile 1854 01:09:05,510 --> 01:09:03,199 well i think living paycheck to paycheck 1855 01:09:07,349 --> 01:09:05,520 is risky and volatile 1856 01:09:09,269 --> 01:09:07,359 i think the inflation and the supply 1857 01:09:10,950 --> 01:09:09,279 chains we're dealing with are risky and 1858 01:09:13,110 --> 01:09:10,960 volatile 1859 01:09:15,349 --> 01:09:13,120 but a lot of people don't have a choice 1860 01:09:17,269 --> 01:09:15,359 and a lot of people who are 1861 01:09:20,149 --> 01:09:17,279 looking for a hail mary are still doing 1862 01:09:22,870 --> 01:09:20,159 things like buying lottery tickets or 1863 01:09:23,829 --> 01:09:22,880 trying to make it come up in casinos on 1864 01:09:26,309 --> 01:09:23,839 some 1865 01:09:28,309 --> 01:09:26,319 slot machine polls and it's like 1866 01:09:31,430 --> 01:09:28,319 well that's definitely 1867 01:09:33,990 --> 01:09:31,440 a tilted advantage against you whereas 1868 01:09:35,910 --> 01:09:34,000 there are many wins in the casino of 1869 01:09:37,910 --> 01:09:35,920 crypto let's say 1870 01:09:39,590 --> 01:09:37,920 and it's sad it's sad that we are in an 1871 01:09:42,630 --> 01:09:39,600 economic position where a lot of people 1872 01:09:45,030 --> 01:09:42,640 have to do really risky hail mary stuff 1873 01:09:47,590 --> 01:09:45,040 to try to have a normal life 1874 01:09:50,789 --> 01:09:47,600 but i can't change the system i can only 1875 01:09:52,550 --> 01:09:50,799 present you with some possibly potential 1876 01:09:55,510 --> 01:09:52,560 come ups if you don't want to start your 1877 01:09:57,430 --> 01:09:55,520 own podcast that's really all i know 1878 01:10:00,390 --> 01:09:57,440 so even like mike was saying with 1879 01:10:01,590 --> 01:10:00,400 quartal maybe you get five court tokens 1880 01:10:05,430 --> 01:10:01,600 a month 1881 01:10:08,070 --> 01:10:05,440 but if that does go up to 50 or 75 or 1882 01:10:09,750 --> 01:10:08,080 100 bucks in value per coin 1883 01:10:11,750 --> 01:10:09,760 now we're talking who couldn't use an 1884 01:10:13,750 --> 01:10:11,760 extra 500 a month 1885 01:10:15,270 --> 01:10:13,760 if you get to level two or three even 1886 01:10:18,149 --> 01:10:15,280 more rewards 1887 01:10:20,709 --> 01:10:18,159 i guess i would say the crypto space is 1888 01:10:22,550 --> 01:10:20,719 full of opportunities and projects like 1889 01:10:25,350 --> 01:10:22,560 chortle that are paying 1890 01:10:27,750 --> 01:10:25,360 their note operators or doing other 1891 01:10:29,990 --> 01:10:27,760 things like air drops 1892 01:10:31,830 --> 01:10:30,000 and these things do stack up even if 1893 01:10:33,830 --> 01:10:31,840 it's not a lot it's still something and 1894 01:10:36,229 --> 01:10:33,840 it's a paradigm shift from the old 1895 01:10:38,149 --> 01:10:36,239 legacy systems that we've criticized so 1896 01:10:40,390 --> 01:10:38,159 much for so long 1897 01:10:43,350 --> 01:10:40,400 if you're interested i would investigate 1898 01:10:45,910 --> 01:10:43,360 exchanges like yearn.finance 1899 01:10:48,870 --> 01:10:45,920 or miyaimar 1900 01:10:51,910 --> 01:10:48,880 dot exchange miyaimar is 1901 01:10:55,430 --> 01:10:53,990 watch some youtube videos conspiracy 1902 01:10:57,270 --> 01:10:55,440 folks definitely know how to do their 1903 01:10:59,189 --> 01:10:57,280 own research right 1904 01:11:01,430 --> 01:10:59,199 my two favorite youtube channels for 1905 01:11:03,270 --> 01:11:01,440 this stuff are altcoin daily and 1906 01:11:05,110 --> 01:11:03,280 whiteboard crypto 1907 01:11:07,750 --> 01:11:05,120 but you do you i'm just throwing it out 1908 01:11:10,229 --> 01:11:07,760 there but i'm also a really big fan of 1909 01:11:11,350 --> 01:11:10,239 bear really loved that episode with dr 1910 01:11:14,229 --> 01:11:11,360 lando 1911 01:11:16,310 --> 01:11:14,239 so to talk to mike about the alpha vedic 1912 01:11:17,830 --> 01:11:16,320 grounds and products was really 1913 01:11:20,550 --> 01:11:17,840 interesting 1914 01:11:22,470 --> 01:11:20,560 a great complement to that previous show 1915 01:11:24,229 --> 01:11:22,480 in the plus portion 1916 01:11:26,149 --> 01:11:24,239 we added quite a few other things that 1917 01:11:28,149 --> 01:11:26,159 i've heard mike talk about a real grab 1918 01:11:30,630 --> 01:11:28,159 bag of various stuff 1919 01:11:32,870 --> 01:11:30,640 like the metaverse the new california 1920 01:11:36,550 --> 01:11:32,880 movement exotic energy and secret 1921 01:11:39,750 --> 01:11:36,560 science antiquitech a really great term 1922 01:11:42,470 --> 01:11:39,760 manipulating the weather with orgone 1923 01:11:45,590 --> 01:11:42,480 re-greening the deserts land patents 1924 01:11:48,229 --> 01:11:45,600 health and bioterrain and energetics 1925 01:11:49,990 --> 01:11:48,239 and watching out for the next scarient 1926 01:11:52,229 --> 01:11:50,000 another good term 1927 01:11:54,070 --> 01:11:52,239 but i did enjoy going back and forth on 1928 01:11:56,310 --> 01:11:54,080 terrain theory as well you know i do 1929 01:11:58,790 --> 01:11:56,320 subscribe to it but i just like to play 1930 01:12:00,390 --> 01:11:58,800 devil's advocate and try to get some of 1931 01:12:03,350 --> 01:12:00,400 those last 1932 01:12:05,270 --> 01:12:03,360 unanswered questions answered 1933 01:12:07,350 --> 01:12:05,280 the thing about viruses as opposed to 1934 01:12:09,270 --> 01:12:07,360 bacteria and parasites is they are much 1935 01:12:10,950 --> 01:12:09,280 smaller and require that electron 1936 01:12:12,709 --> 01:12:10,960 microscope and that's where we get into 1937 01:12:14,870 --> 01:12:12,719 this private club of people who have a 1938 01:12:16,310 --> 01:12:14,880 hundred grand to use the device to see 1939 01:12:17,910 --> 01:12:16,320 the thing 1940 01:12:20,149 --> 01:12:17,920 and it's weird to say that we come in 1941 01:12:22,149 --> 01:12:20,159 contact with millions of viruses a day 1942 01:12:23,990 --> 01:12:22,159 but they can find this one or that one 1943 01:12:26,310 --> 01:12:24,000 that causes illness 1944 01:12:27,910 --> 01:12:26,320 because it's not like the other million 1945 01:12:29,910 --> 01:12:27,920 are mapped out right they don't know 1946 01:12:31,270 --> 01:12:29,920 what a lot of these things do 1947 01:12:33,990 --> 01:12:31,280 if anything 1948 01:12:36,070 --> 01:12:34,000 so where's the periodic table of viruses 1949 01:12:37,750 --> 01:12:36,080 telling us what each one does so that we 1950 01:12:39,510 --> 01:12:37,760 can rule them out when something like 1951 01:12:40,870 --> 01:12:39,520 covet comes along 1952 01:12:43,830 --> 01:12:40,880 you know the whole thing does start to 1953 01:12:46,630 --> 01:12:43,840 fall apart but i also wonder what covet 1954 01:12:47,990 --> 01:12:46,640 is i know it's similar to a flu 1955 01:12:50,790 --> 01:12:48,000 if you're in good health but it is 1956 01:12:52,870 --> 01:12:50,800 different enough and what is the flu 1957 01:12:54,790 --> 01:12:52,880 even is it really just changes in the 1958 01:12:56,390 --> 01:12:54,800 electrical environment 1959 01:12:57,430 --> 01:12:56,400 i don't know i'm compelled by the 1960 01:12:59,830 --> 01:12:57,440 argument 1961 01:13:02,630 --> 01:12:59,840 i'm intrigued by the conversation 1962 01:13:04,390 --> 01:13:02,640 we pick apart pieces like polio and 1963 01:13:06,870 --> 01:13:04,400 vaccine-related diseases but there's 1964 01:13:08,149 --> 01:13:06,880 still a lot more to recontextualize you 1965 01:13:09,750 --> 01:13:08,159 know what i'm saying 1966 01:13:11,990 --> 01:13:09,760 i don't like to just adopt a new 1967 01:13:13,830 --> 01:13:12,000 paradigm whole hog if i still have some 1968 01:13:15,990 --> 01:13:13,840 unanswered questions 1969 01:13:19,350 --> 01:13:16,000 but when people say no one has ever seen 1970 01:13:22,310 --> 01:13:19,360 a virus in action actually in real time 1971 01:13:24,790 --> 01:13:22,320 infecting a cell in a whole person 1972 01:13:26,630 --> 01:13:24,800 i'm pretty sure that is true 1973 01:13:28,870 --> 01:13:26,640 i'm not ready to say pathogens like 1974 01:13:31,350 --> 01:13:28,880 viruses can never make a person sick we 1975 01:13:33,750 --> 01:13:31,360 know bacteria can and parasites can and 1976 01:13:35,830 --> 01:13:33,760 i can't see those either but it's very 1977 01:13:37,750 --> 01:13:35,840 fishy that throughout my whole lifetime 1978 01:13:40,470 --> 01:13:37,760 whenever a large group of people do get 1979 01:13:41,510 --> 01:13:40,480 sick it's always a virus that is the 1980 01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:41,520 answer 1981 01:13:46,310 --> 01:13:43,520 we never look for another cause and 1982 01:13:49,189 --> 01:13:46,320 that's clearly pretty suspicious if 1983 01:13:52,310 --> 01:13:49,199 polio was caused by something like ddt 1984 01:13:54,070 --> 01:13:52,320 or mercury teething powder well 1985 01:13:56,470 --> 01:13:54,080 i remember in my neighborhood growing up 1986 01:13:59,110 --> 01:13:56,480 that they definitely had sent bug 1987 01:14:01,030 --> 01:13:59,120 sprayers around all the time 1988 01:14:02,870 --> 01:14:01,040 what's with all that 1989 01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:02,880 my parents were wise enough to tell me 1990 01:14:07,189 --> 01:14:04,800 to cover my nose and mouth and come back 1991 01:14:08,630 --> 01:14:07,199 home when that truck was out but i know 1992 01:14:10,790 --> 01:14:08,640 people in the neighborhood who would sit 1993 01:14:12,950 --> 01:14:10,800 in the driveway drinking beers with 1994 01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:12,960 other neighbors around a fire pit and 1995 01:14:17,270 --> 01:14:14,800 they didn't clear the area 1996 01:14:19,350 --> 01:14:17,280 they just sat in that stank 1997 01:14:21,590 --> 01:14:19,360 so when they potentially get some nerve 1998 01:14:24,550 --> 01:14:21,600 disorder two years later nobody asks 1999 01:14:26,630 --> 01:14:24,560 what chemicals they were exposed to 2000 01:14:28,630 --> 01:14:26,640 so i am on that page but i just don't 2001 01:14:30,550 --> 01:14:28,640 want to shut down other perspectives i 2002 01:14:33,110 --> 01:14:30,560 want to remain open because 2003 01:14:35,110 --> 01:14:33,120 i think that's what thc is about i'm not 2004 01:14:38,390 --> 01:14:35,120 going to stop the conversation because a 2005 01:14:40,830 --> 01:14:38,400 guest says virus or something like 2006 01:14:43,830 --> 01:14:40,840 around the globe as some people wish i 2007 01:14:46,070 --> 01:14:43,840 would but big thanks to mike the alpha 2008 01:14:48,630 -->
