Dethroning the bankers. Dear Bill, I know how much you hate the banker cunts
and was wondering if you ever considered getting into Bitcoin. The
decentralized nature of the currency creates no need for central banks
controlling everything. I'd suggest creating a Bitcoin wallet and playing
around with a small amount of Bitcoin to learn how the system works.
It's the most exciting thing in technology and finance since the invention of
the Internet. Love the podcast. Thanks. Go fuck yourself. And he's nice enough
to leave the Wikipedia definition. Either that or Andrew Themelis let me know
what this is.
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system and digital currency introduced as
open source software in 2009 by pseudonymus developer Satoshi Nakamoto.
Do Japanese people got the best fucking names? Satoshi Nakamoto. It's a fucking
killer name. Bill Burr. Satoshi Nakamoto. Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto. How would
you say that if he scored a goal? I can't do it. Let me just continue here. ADD.
It's a wonderful thing.
It's cryptocurrency, so-called because it uses cryptography to control the
creation and transfer of money.
Conventionally, Bitcoin capitalized refers to the technology and network,
whereas lowercase bitcoins refers to the currency itself.
Yeah. Well, the big problem with this is it's created by human beings. I don't
think that bankers are necessarily evil. I just think that they have – or
more evil than I am.
They just – they're in a position to absolutely devastate everyone walking
the planet. International bankers have that ability.
But I really think that the more – I don't know. The more I read up on it and
stuff, it's just a bunch of greedy cunts.
And like somebody's saying right now, the big conspiracy is that they're going
to try to bankrupt all currencies to eliminate all wealth on the planet and
then come back with the new currency.
And – well, I know that they're not going to eliminate their own wealth.
So, they're going to make everybody on the planet broke except for them and
they're going to survive?
Now, maybe they can do it, but how do you pull that off?
That seems like that would have a very finite life before people were just like,
all right, I don't know about you guys, but there's like nine people left in
the world that can afford a three-piece suit and it's not any one of us $7
billion.
What do you say we go over there and beat them with their pocket watches?
You know, it's – eventually, wouldn't that happen?
I don't know.
Yeah, I would just like to go back to just open bartering, just trading shit.
Hey, I'll give you this shirt for that sandwich.
I got plenty of shirts.
Fuck.
Going hungry again.
But look at my waistline.
They look awesome.
All right.
I'll read up on it, sir.
I'll look up on it.
I'll look up on it.
I'll read up on it and I'll look it up.
How about that?
I'll do both of those things.
I'll look it up and then I'll read up on it.
A lot of up going on there.
