the jurgen experience i went to the bitcoin conference in miami this year and just got to see and hear some really really cool things and the people who are like pioneering this and and really believing in in bitcoin specifically not just like the whole world of cryptocurrency but bitcoin itself um i haven't been excited about something like this in a really long time and i'm not a finance guy you know like i'm not a guy who grew up knowing about you know financial systems and networks and stock markets or anything and now i'm finally at a point where i'm starting to be able to like see a future for myself and also a way to like people like me don't really have like generational wealth right and i don't understand i don't see how you know i can really create that through fighting alone so lately i've just been trying to understand more of like the the advancement of technology and kind of where we're headed right like for instance you know when i was a kid in the 1990s and and early 2000s when the internet came versus now like in that jump in my lifetime it's night and day difference like i'm living in sci-fi compared to what was in the 90s you know so now just you know listening to people um really like really smart people even like uh yeonmi park who you had here yeah and hearing her and how um she spoke about how like bitcoin is actually helping save uh some children from like so in north korea this is what she said in north korea when women are are are taken as sex lives and shipped over to northern china where these guys are buying them because china has this um this one child rule in in certain areas right so if the woman if the if the sex slave has a child then that child is half north korean and half chinese the chinese won't accept them and they can't go back to north korea because the women kind of like escaped right so because of that there's actually what
she said are pretty much millions of stateless children who can't get birth certificates who can't get schooling who can't get anything and they're either like sent to prison camps as children or killed because they're what are they gonna do with them china doesn't accept them and they can't go back to north korea so what happens right so there's like underground church groups that are actually taking these kids in and because they can't use chinese money and they you know because it's happening in china because they can't use chinese money the only currency that they can use right now is bitcoin and so people are able to fund them too so that they can at least school these kids and feed them and things like that so from like a from like a currency and like money standpoint there's like a small fraction where i'm like okay i see how this works but then trying to uncover and like dive more into the whole system of how this can be implemented into just like daily society i'm seeing more and more possibility and it's making me more and more secure on hey man i can actually finally have something that i own that's mine like whatever i earn is going to be mine and you can't touch it no one can touch it every from and there's a guy uh adam curry who thank good buddy yeah yeah you know like uh uh podcast index like his now they've created this thing where um if you want to have your own platform and not worry about being taken down or censored or whatever and you can also get paid in satoshis which are fractions of a bitcoin from the supporters so you can stream your sats you don't have to buy bitcoin you can create a platform where hey i'm speaking if i wanted to start one and i'm like you know i don't have the money to actually buy bitcoin but i do have a lot of stuff that i want to talk about subscribe to my podcast and then my fans and my followers are streaming to me satoshi's just like they would on instagram like likes right you get them
saying so likes and replays and all that stuff is also a currency like people don't really look at it that way but like yeah a lot of these a lot of these like companies that want to do business with me it's like oh how many followers do you have what's your twitter engagement what's your instagram engagement oh this video only got 70 000 plays that's a form of currency because that's like looked at as you know my value and my worth on whether or not you're going to work with me or not well that's why shadow banning is so sneaky yeah man it's shadow banning is so insidious because you're you're limiting a person's ability to grow exactly and they do that all the time with people exactly i think of bitcoin the same way i think about the early internet i think they they didn't see it coming and now it's a viable form of currency you can actually buy things with it and i think the government is freaking out i think what they're going to try to do is they tried to they tried to do some [ __ ] with the internet during the obama administration where they were gonna try to censor the internet and it fell apart because people were furious in the uproar and they thought the political repercussions of it were not worth it like the the juice wasn't worth the squeeze so they backed off of it but i feel that there's going to come a time where some government whether it's the united states or another government might try it first they're going to try to implement i know they already do it in china but they're trying to going to try to implement a digital currency a centralized digital currency that they can control yeah what's scary about that is they could say khalil you know we we've looked at you know your behavior online and uh you have some some marks against you yeah and so you're not going to be able to buy this yeah or you can only buy staples you can't you know you can buy food and and shelter but we're not going to allow you to travel yeah because like that could be a real thing where they could literally limit what you spend your money on one thousand percent
