00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:35.880
Happy Bitcoin Thursday, freaks. I know it is not Tuesday,
2
00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:39.720
but we are here for another serial dispatch.
3
00:00:40.755 --> 00:00:42.695
If you've been following along on Twitter,
4
00:00:43.235 --> 00:00:45.655
we have, this brand new
5
00:00:46.435 --> 00:00:49.415
studio in Bitcoin Park in Nashville.
6
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:51.830
So I will be prioritizing
7
00:00:53.090 --> 00:00:59.954
in person conversations going forward. That means that the Tuesday schedule every week is officially dead.
8
00:01:00.655 --> 00:01:03.714
We will be going with the flow. Some days, you will get
9
00:01:04.310 --> 00:01:06.570
multiple dispatches on the same day.
10
00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:08.730
Some days, you'll get no dispatches.
11
00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:11.690
I will try and keep you updated on Twitter.
12
00:01:12.185 --> 00:01:14.445
But if you subscribe on Twitch, twitch.tv/dispatch,
13
00:01:16.024 --> 00:01:20.045
or if you subscribe to the podcast feed in your favorite podcast app by searching Dispatch,
14
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:22.700
you will get notified every time,
15
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:24.940
a new dispatch drops.
16
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.300
Also, if you go to our chat, citadel chat,
17
00:01:29.295 --> 00:01:30.275
by going to dispatch.com
18
00:01:30.975 --> 00:01:31.875
and clicking that
19
00:01:32.175 --> 00:01:33.475
citadel chat button,
20
00:01:34.335 --> 00:01:35.315
I will obviously,
21
00:01:35.775 --> 00:01:36.275
notify
22
00:01:36.655 --> 00:01:37.155
everyone
23
00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:42.479
whenever we're going live and keeping people updated on the schedule. But,
24
00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:45.259
I'm really loving these in person rips, and,
25
00:01:46.225 --> 00:01:50.885
as a result, it's gonna it's gonna be going with the flow and going with our guest schedule.
26
00:01:51.745 --> 00:01:52.885
With all that said,
27
00:01:53.345 --> 00:01:55.045
this is seal dispatch 67.
28
00:01:56.370 --> 00:01:59.670
Seal dispatch is a 100% audience funded without,
29
00:02:00.850 --> 00:02:02.390
sponsors or ads.
30
00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:03.670
So
31
00:02:04.155 --> 00:02:13.055
it exists because of you guys and your generous support, so I I do wanna thank everyone who continues to support the show. As always, you can support the show at seal dispatch.com,
32
00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:15.439
with our BTCPay
33
00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:20.319
instance. We're a Bitcoin only operation, so the only way you can contribute is,
34
00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:22.000
with Bitcoin.
35
00:02:22.955 --> 00:02:28.895
You can also support the show via podcasting 2 point o apps, like fountain podcasts and Breeze Wallet.
36
00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:35.880
You can just load them up with sats. They work like a regular podcast app. Load them up with sats. Choose how many sats per minute,
37
00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:38.200
you think the show is worth,
38
00:02:39.105 --> 00:02:44.004
and it just streams right to my node. You also have a feature called boost, boostograms,
39
00:02:44.465 --> 00:02:46.084
where you can choose a
40
00:02:46.510 --> 00:02:48.930
set amount and send it with a message.
41
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:53.570
And if you do that, I will be reading the top paying,
42
00:02:54.465 --> 00:02:56.005
boost the highest boosts,
43
00:02:56.385 --> 00:02:57.845
of the previous episode,
44
00:02:58.305 --> 00:02:59.285
every new episode.
45
00:02:59.745 --> 00:03:02.005
So with that said, we have CA Danner.
46
00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:04.360
She contributed
47
00:03:05.140 --> 00:03:10.120
10,000 sat. She said, thank you, Matt Odell, from your satoshi white paper, artist freak, CA Danner.
48
00:03:10.555 --> 00:03:11.855
We have letter 6173555
49
00:03:15.275 --> 00:03:18.175
sats, Bitcoin and Ranchers is based as fuck. Great episode.
50
00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:20.689
4,000 sats from Nick, inspired.
51
00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:24.129
4,000 sats from Law of Bitcoin. Bullish on ranch pilling.
52
00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:29.155
See, he doesn't like cow pilling you do. And then we have, Chad Farrow with 3,333
53
00:03:30.255 --> 00:03:35.315
stats. He did that twice, and he said Bitcoin Wednesday. Well, Chad, today is Bitcoin Thursday now.
54
00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:37.400
Judging by those boostograms,
55
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:39.319
you can tell
56
00:03:40.019 --> 00:03:43.319
that our last rip was with Texas Slim himself,
57
00:03:44.625 --> 00:03:48.805
and we had some other great guests with us for that rip. But we have Texas Slim back here again,
58
00:03:49.504 --> 00:03:54.360
for an update on on what has been going on for the last 2 weeks. How's it going, Texas Slim?
59
00:03:54.820 --> 00:03:57.060
Hey, Matt. Honored to be back here again.
60
00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:01.974
It's, it's going well. I've been on the road, man. I've been driving and driving.
61
00:04:02.355 --> 00:04:06.055
And I asked you last night, I said, how long has it been since I was there?
62
00:04:06.515 --> 00:04:07.015
So,
63
00:04:07.394 --> 00:04:08.355
I went to,
64
00:04:09.155 --> 00:04:10.260
Knoxville, went
65
00:04:10.739 --> 00:04:11.560
to Chattanooga,
66
00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:13.159
Charlotte, Columbia,
67
00:04:13.540 --> 00:04:14.040
Greenville,
68
00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:14.840
Charleston,
69
00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:17.800
through the Smoky Mountains to the Blue Ridge,
70
00:04:18.500 --> 00:04:19.560
doing a lot of
71
00:04:20.055 --> 00:04:22.955
boots on the ground work and meeting a lot of different Bitcoiners,
72
00:04:23.735 --> 00:04:25.195
different Bitcoin meetups,
73
00:04:25.735 --> 00:04:33.479
and really kind of spreading the word about, you know, the the initiative basically being here in Tennessee now, you know, our 2nd major headquarters.
74
00:04:34.819 --> 00:04:37.845
Lot of good noise and a lot of good signal, a lot of good feedback
75
00:04:38.245 --> 00:04:39.865
coming. I love it. I love it.
76
00:04:40.325 --> 00:04:43.625
Slim was came into town yesterday. I had them over for steaks.
77
00:04:44.085 --> 00:04:46.940
Slim, how did I do? Were they were they alright? It's top notch. They were
78
00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:49.540
I watched your whole process and,
79
00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:52.840
and everything. You know, as far as getting the wood,
80
00:04:53.220 --> 00:04:56.185
it was it was highly impressive. And,
81
00:04:56.725 --> 00:04:58.505
it it was kinda cool because,
82
00:04:59.525 --> 00:05:04.180
I didn't know what kind of stakes you were going to to serve last night
83
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.420
in, White Oak Pastures. White Oak. That's good. You've been doing that for a while, haven't you? Yeah.
84
00:05:10.945 --> 00:05:15.445
I mean, I joked with Slim when he called me. I've been waiting years for him to call me. So
85
00:05:15.985 --> 00:05:16.965
White Oak is,
86
00:05:17.425 --> 00:05:19.850
on the, you know, one of the cutting edge farms that does,
87
00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:22.170
regenerative farming. Mhmm.
88
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:25.310
And they just seem like they're running a great operation.
89
00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:27.790
What they're doing is they're out there, and
90
00:05:28.294 --> 00:05:35.595
they're good. They're kinda like a good standard to look at as far as what you can do in regenerative farming and ranching, how you can regrow soil.
91
00:05:36.020 --> 00:05:45.685
Will Harris and his family went out there 25 years ago to Bluffton, Georgia. And if you look at Bluffton, Georgia on the map, it's about 2 and a half, 3 hours south of Atlanta.
92
00:05:46.065 --> 00:05:49.125
It is out in the middle of nowhere. It's a one horse town.
93
00:05:49.425 --> 00:05:52.245
And once you get into White Oak Pastures itself,
94
00:05:52.669 --> 00:05:58.610
you can go in any direction and see what they've done through the last 25 years. And it's amazing
95
00:05:59.150 --> 00:06:06.025
the progress that can be made to regrow the soul, to steward the land, to steward the animals, to steward a community.
96
00:06:06.485 --> 00:06:17.130
He's, you know, he's preeminent right now in the United States along with, you know, Joe Salatin in a lot of the ranchers that we're bringing into the beef initiative. They're doing exactly the same thing. That's freaking awesome.
97
00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:21.185
Also freaks, I don't know if you're watching the live stream, this is,
98
00:06:22.044 --> 00:06:24.705
I think, the second ever dispatch that has video.
99
00:06:26.284 --> 00:06:28.064
So welcome to the new studio.
100
00:06:28.844 --> 00:06:29.085
We
101
00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:31.920
not all dispatches will have video
102
00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:39.360
going with the flow on that too. It's gonna depend on who the guest is and whether or not they wanna be on video. Some of them will be audio only still.
103
00:06:40.025 --> 00:06:42.125
If you are contributing in the live chat,
104
00:06:42.745 --> 00:06:45.965
I will be pulling it up occasionally, basically switching between,
105
00:06:46.985 --> 00:06:49.440
the video and the live chat. So
106
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.980
definitely continue to put your questions there and your comments.
107
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.980
Same goes with the live chat on Twitch and Twitter.
108
00:06:58.345 --> 00:07:04.845
Cool. So one of the big things we wanna talk about was these cattle deaths that, have been circulating on the Internet. Yeah.
109
00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:09.320
Kinda look like mass graves of of of cows.
110
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:11.460
What's the deal with that? Is there
111
00:07:12.634 --> 00:07:22.570
Well, what's the story? Well, of course, you know, we're gonna get all the conspiracies. We're gonna get, you know, that these cattle and what I've seen that, you know, they were killed from some space technology.
112
00:07:23.830 --> 00:07:43.280
You know, it space lasers. Space lasers. Is that what it was? Okay. I I haven't really paid attention. Somebody brought that up, and I keep on getting a lot of, you know, DMs and everything, you know, and people are kind of freaked out about it. But what I want to do in what we've done within the beef initiative, I mean, we have direct contact with ranchers all across United States.
113
00:07:45.020 --> 00:07:45.520
And
114
00:07:45.884 --> 00:07:49.985
let's lose the conspiracy theories. Let's get back to pragmatic
115
00:07:50.365 --> 00:07:52.785
approach to what's going on in our beef industry.
116
00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:54.840
And that's the best way to start.
117
00:07:55.940 --> 00:07:58.200
These cattle are fat cattle.
118
00:07:58.580 --> 00:08:01.400
That's what cattle are called before they go to harvest.
119
00:08:02.014 --> 00:08:07.715
These cattle were basically one step away from getting harvested, gone into the kill barns.
120
00:08:08.495 --> 00:08:10.354
The the images that were shown
121
00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:15.240
in the video shown, they're all stacked up nice and neat.
122
00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:21.065
And everybody thinks that it all of a sudden, all these cattle just drop dead. And that's just
123
00:08:21.365 --> 00:08:24.345
once again a manipulation of information of content.
124
00:08:25.045 --> 00:08:28.185
You see it all the time, and what it is really is a distraction
125
00:08:28.725 --> 00:08:29.160
for
126
00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:30.380
starting off.
127
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:33.340
It's it's sad when this happens
128
00:08:33.880 --> 00:08:38.795
into any type of food industry in which feeds our nation and feeds
129
00:08:39.175 --> 00:08:39.915
the world.
130
00:08:40.615 --> 00:08:42.715
But one thing that people need to understand
131
00:08:43.095 --> 00:08:50.380
is this happens in because of elements. This happens because of the protocol that we're using right now
132
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:55.740
to grow fat cattle to where they can be basically sold on a market
133
00:08:56.105 --> 00:08:57.565
through a feedlot system.
134
00:08:58.585 --> 00:09:01.325
That feedlot system is basically right now controlled
135
00:09:01.945 --> 00:09:03.165
by chemical companies
136
00:09:03.625 --> 00:09:08.380
and by 4 major processing companies that are global processing companies.
137
00:09:08.920 --> 00:09:15.564
They're not basically based in the United States. 3 of the major processing companies in that that harvest
138
00:09:16.425 --> 00:09:16.925
85%,
139
00:09:17.384 --> 00:09:21.485
about 80, 85% of our animal protein in the United States controls
140
00:09:22.290 --> 00:09:23.430
all of these feedlots.
141
00:09:24.130 --> 00:09:27.269
By saying that, what had happened during this time in Kansas,
142
00:09:28.769 --> 00:09:34.225
before that heat wave that hit the Midwest, it was around 70, 72 degrees.
143
00:09:34.925 --> 00:09:36.625
When you have fat cattle,
144
00:09:37.085 --> 00:09:40.785
what that means that are getting a mixed ration of feed.
145
00:09:41.390 --> 00:09:43.650
It's a mixed ration. Some call them,
146
00:09:44.030 --> 00:09:48.050
hot feeds, cold feeds. Well, these feeds are are basically designed
147
00:09:48.625 --> 00:09:52.565
to fatten up cattle so they can get the most money that they can.
148
00:09:53.105 --> 00:09:56.565
Who's making that money? The processing centers, not the ranchers.
149
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.700
The ranchers are basically out of the picture at that point in time.
150
00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:04.459
These processing centers are the the bottleneck
151
00:10:05.055 --> 00:10:13.795
to good nutrition, to healthy cows, and to healthy meat in the United States. This had nothing to do with any nefarious thing on the ranchers part
152
00:10:14.390 --> 00:10:18.650
or basically through the government. This was not a coordinated attack.
153
00:10:19.270 --> 00:10:24.695
These, these cattle that died, there was 10,000 of them. And what it was is about $20,000,000
154
00:10:25.154 --> 00:10:27.415
in losses. That's insane. It is.
155
00:10:27.955 --> 00:10:32.370
And if you look at the the capacity of of that those numbers,
156
00:10:32.910 --> 00:10:38.690
you can kind of tell that, you know, factory farming is an issue in the United States. Why is it an issue?
157
00:10:39.035 --> 00:10:45.375
Well, because the processing centers and the packers, which are basically the same thing, have been manipulating
158
00:10:45.915 --> 00:10:46.975
and destroying
159
00:10:47.900 --> 00:10:52.480
the American rancher the last, of course, decade, but even beyond that.
160
00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:56.160
So let's go through what happened that day. It was 72 degrees.
161
00:10:56.845 --> 00:10:59.504
When you have that many fat cattle, they need shade,
162
00:10:59.805 --> 00:11:03.105
they need water, well, with that type of temperature change.
163
00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:13.160
These like I said, these cattle are one step away from death anyways. Right. So they're barely making it. And whenever you get cattle together, cattle have to cool off
164
00:11:13.685 --> 00:11:20.745
overnight. Usually, that's what they do. And then they'll they'll get heated back up. Well, they never had a chance to cool off from the day before.
165
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:25.580
So for over 30 6, 48 hours, it was over a 106 degrees.
166
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.365
And so whenever you get cattle that are basically pinned up and going into harvest,
167
00:11:31.825 --> 00:11:36.964
you know, they're rubbing bellies. They're they're they're so close to each other that they're just overheating.
168
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:45.899
Right. When a cow that is a fat cattle, they're close to metabolically failure already. Right? Just like an obese person would be.
169
00:11:46.355 --> 00:11:54.935
And I look at these cattle as a reflection of our society as a whole right now as far as our health. These cattle, basically,
170
00:11:55.839 --> 00:11:58.580
if they're not being farmed, harvested,
171
00:11:59.040 --> 00:11:59.440
and,
172
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.020
and basically put on the market
173
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:03.779
as American beef
174
00:12:04.795 --> 00:12:09.935
in in the way that they are having to do right now in the United States. None of this ever happens.
175
00:12:10.555 --> 00:12:15.110
That's out of the control of the rancher right now. You know why that's out of control of the rancher?
176
00:12:15.410 --> 00:12:18.870
Because of processing plants? Because of our consumer demand.
177
00:12:19.330 --> 00:12:19.830
Right.
178
00:12:20.425 --> 00:12:23.085
We it comes down to our consumer demand
179
00:12:23.465 --> 00:12:26.045
being changed in a way that we're not
180
00:12:26.505 --> 00:12:28.445
propping up these processing centers
181
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.980
because all they're doing is manipulating
182
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.860
a system that is corrupt.
183
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.860
Tucker Carlson
184
00:12:36.319 --> 00:12:39.775
had a interview with 1 of the ranchers that was involved with this,
185
00:12:40.155 --> 00:12:46.175
and it was about a 15 minute interview. And what that rancher was really trying to say, and that I don't think people are understanding,
186
00:12:46.940 --> 00:12:47.680
is that
187
00:12:48.540 --> 00:12:54.880
they're being driven out of business. Our cattle industry in the United States is slowly being chipped away at
188
00:12:55.215 --> 00:13:00.675
in a way that the consumer does not understand. They don't do not understand this because of complacency
189
00:13:01.055 --> 00:13:01.795
and convenience.
190
00:13:02.490 --> 00:13:09.230
And so our consumer demand has to change as citizens in the United States. We need to demand better.
191
00:13:09.585 --> 00:13:19.840
We don't need to be looking at these ranchers and say the ranchers have done anything wrong. They're doing exactly what they know how to do under the, basically the apparatus that has been designed
192
00:13:20.380 --> 00:13:24.320
by the chemical companies and the processing centers. They're playing the game that's
193
00:13:24.925 --> 00:13:32.625
that's presented to them. They have to. Yeah. And they they have to basically play in a technology use agreement. They have to sign contracts.
194
00:13:32.970 --> 00:13:36.350
They have to, cater to the USDA insurance policy.
195
00:13:36.730 --> 00:13:44.655
You know, I've I've always been at the last couple years. I ask a lot of people. I said, where do you think the value of the cow is? This is a good example.
196
00:13:45.115 --> 00:13:51.030
Those 10,000 cattle that died, the value of those cow now turned into the USDA insurance policy.
197
00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:56.770
Right. Those ranchers are gonna get paid, you know, because the cost cost Do they get the full 20 mil? Or
198
00:13:57.475 --> 00:14:01.095
Well, they won't get the full amount. No. Most of most of that
199
00:14:01.955 --> 00:14:08.480
this will go deeper as time passes, but a lot of that will probably be given to the processing centers,
200
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.560
not to the ranchers themselves.
201
00:14:11.420 --> 00:14:12.639
Let's say, like, JBS
202
00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:14.524
this last year was fined
203
00:14:14.904 --> 00:14:15.404
$56,000,000
204
00:14:15.785 --> 00:14:17.885
for price manipulation during COVID.
205
00:14:18.425 --> 00:14:20.685
Well, what the government, you know, and the current
206
00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:24.029
$56,000,000
207
00:14:24.810 --> 00:14:29.965
is a small little slap in the face to JBS, but JBS ended up making over
208
00:14:30.765 --> 00:14:35.345
$500,000,000 worth of profit during COVID because of that same type of price manipulation.
209
00:14:36.205 --> 00:14:39.825
So what what is what is the intention of the processing centers?
210
00:14:40.190 --> 00:14:44.050
Is to get a big fat cow that's almost metabolically
211
00:14:44.430 --> 00:14:44.930
dead,
212
00:14:45.390 --> 00:14:47.650
right before they do harvest that cow.
213
00:14:48.195 --> 00:14:52.295
So, I mean, let's just just to pull it back for a second here. So
214
00:14:53.235 --> 00:14:54.215
you have 10,000
215
00:14:54.755 --> 00:14:55.255
1010,000
216
00:14:55.875 --> 00:14:57.335
cows die. Mhmm.
217
00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:00.480
Roughly $20,000,000
218
00:15:00.940 --> 00:15:02.240
worth of value. Yes.
219
00:15:03.180 --> 00:15:04.480
The pictures we see
220
00:15:05.065 --> 00:15:11.485
aren't where they died. They they get they get put in place. They're insurance photos. Right? Yeah. They're insurance photos.
221
00:15:12.105 --> 00:15:21.779
So when you see those pictures of all the all the cows with their feet up, like, all next to each other, it looks like a mass grave. Right. That's an insurance photo for USDA.
222
00:15:22.464 --> 00:15:27.524
And then so then the farmer, the ranchers is submitting those photos,
223
00:15:28.305 --> 00:15:30.725
and I assume there's some kind of inspection or something.
224
00:15:31.319 --> 00:15:35.899
Mhmm. So that there's no there's no foul play involved or something like that. They submit that to the USDA.
225
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:37.980
Mhmm. And then the USDA
226
00:15:39.045 --> 00:15:40.265
is doing a payout,
227
00:15:41.605 --> 00:15:56.425
an insurance payout, but the majority is going to the processing center. We don't know the numbers on that, but, yeah, it'll be a collective type of payout to where who you know, the percentages involved depends on the stage of, you know, the harvesting and everything.
228
00:15:57.045 --> 00:15:58.504
That gets pretty in-depth
229
00:15:58.884 --> 00:16:02.824
as far as who actually ends up getting that money. But if you look at history,
230
00:16:03.750 --> 00:16:05.290
the, that the 56,000,000
231
00:16:05.670 --> 00:16:25.380
that JBS was, fine, none of that went to the ranchers. Right. And so, you know But that's different. That was a fine. That's not the insurance payout. But you can kinda probably merit the same thing as a insurance payout. You know, the ranchers are probably gonna be breaking even on that cow. So, like, what's your what what what would your gut say on that that payout? Like, what does that look like? Is it, like, a 5050?
232
00:16:25.760 --> 00:16:26.900
Is it 6040?
233
00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:39.385
I would I would have to say that the rancher gets to to maintain his ranch for the next year. So he's getting just like cost. Yeah. Or whatever you get. Right. Even. Yeah. You get to go that 12 month cycle that we play in the Fiat world. Right.
234
00:16:39.750 --> 00:16:44.649
That's all this is anymore. That's all ranching is anymore. The ranchers are poor these days.
235
00:16:45.110 --> 00:16:46.329
They've lost over $200,000,000
236
00:16:47.605 --> 00:16:54.345
out of the the industry itself in the last decade. And that's what the rancher was trying to say on Tucker Carlson saying,
237
00:16:55.020 --> 00:17:03.360
we're losing a major percentage of the American ranchers. We're losing our heritage. We're losing access to be able to provide you, the consumer,
238
00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:04.480
basically,
239
00:17:04.925 --> 00:17:08.865
cattle that's not metabolically already dead before they go into harvest.
240
00:17:09.165 --> 00:17:13.905
That's the big message here that nobody's understanding. They're thinking that these cows got killed by lasers.
241
00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:19.669
No. It's because of the system and the apparatus. Well, it's way more it's it's way more catchy.
242
00:17:20.210 --> 00:17:37.740
Of course, it is. We live we live in that clown world. Satellite cattle kill. You know? It is. It's just that sounds like a horrible movie that a lot of people would watch. Well, in in these days and times, that's that's what people want. You know, they enjoy the fear porn. They enjoy everything. You know, they like to pair it the daily news.
243
00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:39.340
And so that cycle,
244
00:17:39.645 --> 00:17:42.304
it it takes maybe taking a step back
245
00:17:42.605 --> 00:17:44.145
and looking at basically
246
00:17:44.605 --> 00:17:49.265
the industry that's actually feeding us. Right. I mean, I I think it's interesting because,
247
00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:53.480
so, I mean, dispatch, this show is primarily focused on Bitcoin
248
00:17:53.860 --> 00:18:00.515
and Freedom Tech. It's mostly a tech show. Right. I think all everything is all very interconnected. I mean, obviously,
249
00:18:02.335 --> 00:18:05.315
when I first conceived of the show, the idea was, you know,
250
00:18:05.934 --> 00:18:06.434
broadcast
251
00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:10.559
from from my citadel to your citadel or whatever. So it it could really
252
00:18:10.940 --> 00:18:13.180
I I I like to think that this this,
253
00:18:13.835 --> 00:18:17.455
this format is is broader than just tech,
254
00:18:19.435 --> 00:18:23.215
because all of this is relevant. Obviously, we need to feed ourselves. This is all sovereign.
255
00:18:23.530 --> 00:18:26.830
It's all part of the sovereign stack. Right. I think it's interesting
256
00:18:27.370 --> 00:18:28.510
that you mentioned
257
00:18:29.610 --> 00:18:30.670
consumer demand
258
00:18:31.525 --> 00:18:36.825
basically being the source of all of this. Like, the everything else is a symptom of
259
00:18:37.125 --> 00:18:44.090
what consumers are going out and basically voting with their wallet. Mhmm. And you mentioned this thing, convenience. It comes down to convenience.
260
00:18:45.669 --> 00:18:53.855
And that's what we see when all the tech conversations we have about privacy, about sovereignty. It's always a convenience versus sovereignty trade off. It's always a convenience versus
261
00:18:54.315 --> 00:18:58.330
privacy trade off, and it's the same exact case here. Right? It is. It really
262
00:18:58.870 --> 00:19:18.610
is. And I think a lot of it, once again, I always say that there's no judgment going on here. You know, we're all guilty. Right? Right. We're all complacent in certain certain aspects of our life, and we do search for that convenience. It's what we've all been conditioned to do when we're thinking, hey. We're we're advancing our society because of this convenience model that we've created.
263
00:19:19.150 --> 00:19:23.650
Well, it's starting to show some cracks in that yearning for that convenience and that complacency.
264
00:19:24.745 --> 00:19:32.445
And if people need to start, you know, this is a tech show. Well, the tech that we're we're looking at within the Bitcoin space,
265
00:19:32.800 --> 00:19:36.580
it touches every aspect of our life. And if we're not starting to look
266
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.260
at the the
267
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:44.975
correlation of tech in our food right now with how we can improve and how we can actually change
268
00:19:45.755 --> 00:19:48.655
our perception of, the value of that convenience
269
00:19:49.115 --> 00:19:50.495
that causes this complacency,
270
00:19:51.340 --> 00:19:56.640
then it takes us a step back. We get into more of a low time preference thinking when it comes to our consumption,
271
00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:00.465
our consumption of food, our consumption of audio, video.
272
00:20:01.005 --> 00:20:02.544
We are able to basically
273
00:20:02.845 --> 00:20:05.184
understand why we desire what we desire.
274
00:20:05.725 --> 00:20:06.785
And within
275
00:20:07.485 --> 00:20:11.890
Bitcoin tech, within the food industry itself, within animal protein,
276
00:20:12.350 --> 00:20:15.490
if we can start really correlating those and how valuable
277
00:20:15.870 --> 00:20:20.145
they are, that symbiotic nature of Bitcoin and food,
278
00:20:20.605 --> 00:20:26.865
then we're gonna understand that we've gone a little too far down this, complacency model and the convenience model.
279
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:27.980
Right.
280
00:20:28.520 --> 00:20:29.340
So, I mean,
281
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.020
I think, first of all, freaks, like, if you haven't,
282
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:34.040
listened till,
283
00:20:34.725 --> 00:20:42.880
last week I don't know. When when did we record those ones? For 2 weeks already. Slim was on the road for 2 weeks, and I didn't give you guys a dispatch until he came back.
284
00:20:43.280 --> 00:20:47.780
If you haven't listened to that one, go back and listen to that one because I think we talked a lot about
285
00:20:49.225 --> 00:20:53.485
actionable things that people can do to basically improve that situation. And I think,
286
00:20:55.225 --> 00:20:59.740
there's, I mean, there's a there's a ton of parallels with other things we we discuss on dispatch,
287
00:21:00.600 --> 00:21:04.220
but the big one of the big ones for me that I always try and harp on is
288
00:21:04.764 --> 00:21:08.384
is don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Small improvements do help,
289
00:21:09.485 --> 00:21:16.340
and this wouldn't be a conversation with Slim if we didn't say shaker rancher's hand. So those are the the 2 main takeaways.
290
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:22.580
So, I mean, let's let's transition a little bit to more positive topics. Sure.
291
00:21:23.515 --> 00:21:24.415
So yesterday,
292
00:21:25.355 --> 00:21:34.980
your boy Cole had a big announcement. Should we talk about that a little bit? Yeah. Let's talk about Cole K&C Cattle. He basically supplies all of our beef through the beef initiative. We have a good
293
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.140
strong partnership with Cole.
294
00:21:37.760 --> 00:21:43.785
He was one of the first ranchers, top 3 ranchers that I reached out to. And we've developed a really good business model.
295
00:21:44.245 --> 00:21:45.625
And we've known for a while
296
00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:50.880
what Cole's plans were for the future. Well, yesterday, he came out and announced that,
297
00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:58.705
his processing center down there in Luling, Texas, south of Austin, will be opening up within the, you know, next 60 days.
298
00:21:59.885 --> 00:22:13.559
What does that mean? What does that mean for Bitcoiners? What does that mean for people wanting true market access to healthy cattle that aren't metabolically bankrupt? Well, it's a regenerative model. In the last dispatch, we talked about the vertical integration
299
00:22:14.405 --> 00:22:15.865
back into, you know,
300
00:22:16.325 --> 00:22:18.905
into cattle itself, into beef and everything.
301
00:22:19.365 --> 00:22:20.905
Well, this is basically
302
00:22:21.445 --> 00:22:23.785
the first major step that
303
00:22:24.309 --> 00:22:25.610
we are able to,
304
00:22:25.990 --> 00:22:26.490
take
305
00:22:27.030 --> 00:22:27.929
moving forward.
306
00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:30.730
We're about to up our volume about
307
00:22:31.030 --> 00:22:31.530
tenfold.
308
00:22:32.435 --> 00:22:36.375
We're in control of the the soil, the grass, the cow, the producer,
309
00:22:36.755 --> 00:22:37.895
and now the processor.
310
00:22:38.275 --> 00:22:42.020
We don't have to be under the umbrella or the thumbprint
311
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.620
of the processing centers or the chemical companies.
312
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.500
The processing center is a clean facility,
313
00:22:49.025 --> 00:22:49.925
0 chemicals,
314
00:22:50.545 --> 00:22:51.205
the cattle,
315
00:22:51.745 --> 00:22:52.565
0 chemicals,
316
00:22:53.265 --> 00:22:54.965
0 GMO grains,
317
00:22:55.425 --> 00:22:57.750
0 anything 0, you know,
318
00:22:58.070 --> 00:23:09.054
steroids, all the type of stuff that you hear that get injected in these cattle. So what we've done is we have a working model now that we can start feeding the nation again within the beef initiative.
319
00:23:09.835 --> 00:23:13.695
And it's by developing this strong relationship with Cole
320
00:23:14.075 --> 00:23:18.090
that he's he was a small regenerative farmer and rancher down in Texas.
321
00:23:18.549 --> 00:23:22.010
Well, we're about to step it up, and we're about to basically
322
00:23:22.654 --> 00:23:26.434
change the game in ways that I don't think that people understand.
323
00:23:26.894 --> 00:23:30.595
But one thing that they they can understand is
324
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.100
the lifestyle that you can have.
325
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:42.265
You don't have to worry about those cattle that are dying. You don't have to worry about that saran wrap beef in your supermarket anymore. If you're gonna be intentional
326
00:23:42.565 --> 00:23:44.585
about your consumption within beef,
327
00:23:44.965 --> 00:23:51.429
there's a vertical integration that we can do on our own. You can you can pay in Fiat. You can pay in Bitcoin.
328
00:23:51.890 --> 00:23:57.809
And so here we go. We're off to the races. Yeah. I mean, so this is a massive deal. This has been a long time coming. It has. It seems,
329
00:23:59.715 --> 00:24:03.255
I mean, from my I've just kind of dove into this world headfirst.
330
00:24:04.755 --> 00:24:11.159
Like the processing center is the major bottleneck. It is That's been the the major issue, and it's a big hurdle to actually
331
00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:17.240
have your own processing center. Right? You have to go through all these different regulatory bodies. Mhmm. There's a lot of upfront cost.
332
00:24:17.585 --> 00:24:21.525
So now you have, like, basically, a parallel a parallel channel that,
333
00:24:23.425 --> 00:24:26.380
ideologically aligned folks control. Yeah.
334
00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:28.540
The
335
00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:35.440
so, I mean, now let's go back to the those the recent cattle deaths, these these 10,000 cows that died.
336
00:24:37.345 --> 00:24:37.845
Does
337
00:24:38.145 --> 00:24:38.965
the processes
338
00:24:39.424 --> 00:24:39.924
that
339
00:24:40.465 --> 00:24:42.804
this plant is going to be doing
340
00:24:43.610 --> 00:24:57.135
avoid that fate? Like, are you still gonna have fat cows rubbing against each other that are like zombie cows that are about to die? No, never. These cows are basically brought off the grass, and they go to harvest. They're stress free.
341
00:24:57.755 --> 00:25:01.534
If a cow gets stressed, right, this is this is a little education error.
342
00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:09.840
If a cow gets stressed right up until harvest Right. You know, it releases all kinds of stressors throughout the muscle tissue, throughout the flesh itself.
343
00:25:10.294 --> 00:25:15.034
And so that beef is gonna be kind of destroyed. And that's why that's something people don't understand
344
00:25:15.575 --> 00:25:20.870
in the regenerative movement and especially with the processing center that, you know, Cole is kind of pioneer
345
00:25:21.170 --> 00:25:22.470
pioneering forward with
346
00:25:23.010 --> 00:25:33.495
those cows. If they get stressed during, right before they get harvest, they just get taken out. They get to live another day. You know, it's a streamlined process that is stress free,
347
00:25:34.115 --> 00:25:36.450
and and they're not going to be in 110
348
00:25:36.909 --> 00:25:47.634
degree heat, 106 degree heat for 24 hours. No. They're going to be they're going to be shaded. They're going to they're going to have plenty of water. They're not gonna be running, rubbing belly to belly.
349
00:25:48.014 --> 00:25:50.754
That's not that's that high volume. Let's look at that
350
00:25:51.695 --> 00:25:53.475
10,000 cattle. We process
351
00:25:54.049 --> 00:25:54.549
600,000
352
00:25:55.169 --> 00:25:56.389
cattle a month
353
00:25:56.690 --> 00:25:57.909
in the United States.
354
00:25:58.370 --> 00:26:01.909
Okay. The micro processing, the micro avatar
355
00:26:02.485 --> 00:26:05.225
that we're moving forward with in the beef initiative,
356
00:26:06.164 --> 00:26:13.700
we're not even competing with those guys. What we're doing is we're doing something that's very inclusive and exclusive for the intentional consumer,
357
00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:23.965
somebody that wants to be educated, somebody that wants to know exactly where their protein's coming from. And they want to make sure that those cattle are are raised
358
00:26:24.424 --> 00:26:27.405
and then harvested in a very, very humane way.
359
00:26:27.870 --> 00:26:35.170
The type of cattle that, you know, Cole Bolton, Jason Rick, Justin Tramm, all the different ranchers we have, they have some of the best lives
360
00:26:35.515 --> 00:26:37.615
that you could ever hope for for a cattle.
361
00:26:37.995 --> 00:26:50.010
They're not rushed into a processing center because that kill date is set by a processing center saying, when that cow's a calf, you have to process it on August 1st, 18 months away from here.
362
00:26:50.790 --> 00:26:56.325
Where's the intention of that? Well Right. As a rancher, you lose all of that basically
363
00:26:56.945 --> 00:27:07.570
sovereignty of being a rancher, and all you're doing is the the means to an end is to hit that date. You don't know if that cow's gonna be ready for that harvest, but you have to harvest it so you can turn that
364
00:27:08.029 --> 00:27:09.970
small margin back into it.
365
00:27:10.284 --> 00:27:16.225
So with what Cole is doing, he's taken away all the power of these major processing centers.
366
00:27:16.684 --> 00:27:20.930
And by doing that, guess what? We can change our consumer demand
367
00:27:21.470 --> 00:27:23.410
into this model in which cobaltness
368
00:27:23.870 --> 00:27:25.090
is basically pioneering.
369
00:27:26.145 --> 00:27:34.730
That's huge. So you're like taking the power. And it's kind of ironic because I mean, he's opening a processing center, but you're taking the power from the the large, I guess, the big four processing centers,
370
00:27:37.049 --> 00:27:42.429
100%. That's that's it right there. That that's what people need to really focus on anymore.
371
00:27:43.035 --> 00:27:44.255
With the distractions,
372
00:27:44.555 --> 00:27:45.855
with the with the conspiracies.
373
00:27:46.795 --> 00:27:51.910
Okay. This conspiracy is in the processing centers. Right. There is a there is a conspiracy.
374
00:27:52.370 --> 00:27:59.905
You're damn right. They're they're stealing There's just not ninja assassins going to kill cows. It's the apparatus in which they have to function.
375
00:28:00.365 --> 00:28:04.145
And we, as a consumer, are okay with it because lack of education,
376
00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.960
some complacency
377
00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.960
in the yearning for convenience.
378
00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:12.120
Right. We don't have to basically play that game anymore.
379
00:28:12.434 --> 00:28:13.495
So if you're really,
380
00:28:13.875 --> 00:28:25.650
you know, focused and it does matter to you, then you can say, I'm not going to pay attention anymore. I'm gonna go ahead and develop my own market access. I'm gonna become my own food supply chain line.
381
00:28:25.950 --> 00:28:28.130
I'm gonna develop my own food security
382
00:28:28.485 --> 00:28:32.424
by going to this vertical integration, in which what we've done in the Beef Initiative.
383
00:28:33.605 --> 00:28:37.945
Correct, yeah. And what you hear though, on a lot of things, and a lot of people look at this.
384
00:28:38.630 --> 00:28:46.409
See, the the processing centers, they control market access. Right? What does that mean? Okay. A processing center is also the packager.
385
00:28:47.195 --> 00:28:52.575
Okay? They package. Okay? So after the cows process, they package that beef.
386
00:28:52.955 --> 00:28:58.190
Well, that beef and that distribution of that beef is controlled by the processing centers.
387
00:28:58.490 --> 00:29:00.909
They are the distribution model as well.
388
00:29:01.285 --> 00:29:08.665
So they're the ones that have all the contracts with the major supermarkets and everything from the Walmart's to the Krogers to the HEBs of the world.
389
00:29:09.170 --> 00:29:12.870
And whenever they have the control of that market access to those,
390
00:29:13.570 --> 00:29:15.030
those coolers in the supermarkets,
391
00:29:15.890 --> 00:29:18.525
the small independent rancher does have no access
392
00:29:28.590 --> 00:29:38.035
We went out shaking their hand in person, or we've shaken their hand digitally through the beef initiative. Right. And once people can start thinking like that,
393
00:29:38.415 --> 00:29:40.355
they see a shift in their lifestyle,
394
00:29:40.895 --> 00:29:46.140
and they start understanding food intelligence a little bit more than I started off with in the very beginning.
395
00:29:47.160 --> 00:30:00.235
Right. So, I mean, so that so we're the key is to cut out there's 2 bottlenecks. Right? Just the processing centers and the supermarkets. Yep. And then the processing centers also control the supermarket bottleneck, basically 100%. So you cut out both.
396
00:30:00.615 --> 00:30:07.430
You have like a proper circular economy. Yep. And, and you have a processor that is pro rancher processor, basically.
397
00:30:07.810 --> 00:30:13.155
100%. It's back in the as, as I said, from the very beginning, man, let's go start living like my grandfather
398
00:30:13.955 --> 00:30:15.655
It's funny because like, usually,
399
00:30:16.435 --> 00:30:19.175
I mean, at least in the Bitcoin world, you try and look for
400
00:30:20.570 --> 00:30:22.350
at least, an attempt at decentralization.
401
00:30:24.010 --> 00:30:24.990
In this case,
402
00:30:26.410 --> 00:30:27.230
that's almost
403
00:30:27.610 --> 00:30:33.235
not it's like, pure decentralization is not really possible because you need the processing center. Mhmm.
404
00:30:33.775 --> 00:30:41.020
So the alternative is, like, okay. So we'll do a vertical integration that is parallel to the current system that ideally has better incentives.
405
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:48.335
100%. Right. You're not gonna you're not gonna break these 4 you know, we'll we'll see what the government does with legislation
406
00:30:48.715 --> 00:30:49.695
Right. The representatives,
407
00:30:49.995 --> 00:30:54.175
the congress, the senate, and everything, but let's go back to JBS real quick.
408
00:30:54.810 --> 00:30:57.530
JBS, you know, the fines and everything. Well, their their,
409
00:30:57.930 --> 00:31:00.430
founder of JBS is they're in Brazil.
410
00:31:00.890 --> 00:31:04.030
Well, he went to prison for 2 years for bribing the Brazilian
411
00:31:04.975 --> 00:31:12.115
presidency. Right? Right. Well, that same bribing team, as I like to call it, were also caught bribing in the United States.
412
00:31:12.730 --> 00:31:21.630
All of that always gets covered up. All of it gets swept under the rug, and the general public never gets to hearing that information. Well, that's the damn case.
413
00:31:22.044 --> 00:31:28.784
Well, you gotta go play that game. We're playing a different game over here, and we're following the law better than the law falls it follows itself,
414
00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:30.520
And we are setting precedents
415
00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:33.240
that is driven by a new consumer demand.
416
00:31:33.860 --> 00:31:36.280
And if we can take that sovereign responsibility
417
00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:37.400
as consumers
418
00:31:37.985 --> 00:31:42.005
and people that are educated and want the best health that we can get,
419
00:31:42.385 --> 00:31:46.965
then we do create that parallel colony, parallel food sourcing,
420
00:31:47.450 --> 00:31:47.950
that
421
00:31:48.250 --> 00:31:53.690
once again, that our grandparents, that that's how we got here. Makes sense to me. Huge shout out to Cole for
422
00:31:54.554 --> 00:31:55.375
Yeah. Congratulations.
423
00:31:55.835 --> 00:31:59.054
Stepping out on a limb here. Right? I mean, I that's gotta be a massive
424
00:31:59.355 --> 00:32:01.615
massive undertaking. It really is.
425
00:32:02.950 --> 00:32:13.205
What did you say? Like, it's it's gonna process what 1200 cattle how often? That'll be about 1200 cattle starting off. That's Per year? Is that a per year number? But,
426
00:32:14.544 --> 00:32:22.710
you know, that that can scale. I'll just say I'll just say that. But it will never scale up to where we're, you know, you know, getting out of control
427
00:32:23.250 --> 00:32:23.890
with that,
428
00:32:24.450 --> 00:32:28.309
with the numbers game. It's not a numbers game. It's a quality game now,
429
00:32:28.925 --> 00:32:31.025
and that's where we're changing the perception.
430
00:32:31.405 --> 00:32:33.425
It's like it doesn't have to be 600,000
431
00:32:33.965 --> 00:32:39.380
cattle a month in the United States. What it has to be has to be a quality game that's intentional
432
00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:41.300
to where we don't have to play that
433
00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:46.100
numbers game anymore. We're bringing quality back into our beef.
434
00:32:46.895 --> 00:32:47.794
I love it.
435
00:32:48.414 --> 00:32:50.434
Freaks, I hear you in the live chat.
436
00:32:51.375 --> 00:32:56.274
First of all, I know that the matrix chat is not up on the screen. I do have the Twitch chat up on the screen,
437
00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:58.419
which is different than usual.
438
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:05.460
I have to, like, figure out how I'm gonna display the matrix chat and the video at the same time. We're kinda just winging it.
439
00:33:06.215 --> 00:33:17.910
I also hear you that the camera you don't like how the camera is aligned. Well, I don't have a producer. I literally have this, like, thing over here that I'm controlling the sound. I have a camera over here that I plugged in ahead of time.
440
00:33:18.370 --> 00:33:22.790
So I will take that feedback going forward. If you do wanna see dispatch have a producer
441
00:33:24.404 --> 00:33:28.505
and better cameras, you know, feel free to support the show. It is appreciated.
442
00:33:29.684 --> 00:33:34.105
But we will be iterating on this and and slowly improving. So I I I
443
00:33:34.470 --> 00:33:37.290
thank you for for standing with me,
444
00:33:37.990 --> 00:33:38.810
as this,
445
00:33:39.350 --> 00:33:41.690
show slowly and steadily improves,
446
00:33:43.135 --> 00:33:45.715
but it will be it will be a little bit of a process.
447
00:33:46.655 --> 00:33:48.895
And huge thanks to Slim for being here,
448
00:33:49.350 --> 00:33:52.810
for that process as well. I hope the audio quality is fantastic. I think
449
00:33:53.190 --> 00:33:57.725
we've improved that tremendously, which is, to me, was the lowest hanging fruit. So,
450
00:33:59.164 --> 00:34:10.900
good for that. What else you wanna talk about, Slim? Let's talk about, the beef initiative. Let's talk about Tennessee, but let's first first talk about our second conference. Okay. Let's talk about Colorado. Colorado beef initiative
451
00:34:11.520 --> 00:34:14.099
conference. That's July 22nd 24th.
452
00:34:15.795 --> 00:34:23.175
So it's it's basically exactly a month from now? Exactly a month. And it's a 3 day conference. It's Friday afternoon, Saturday day, and Sunday.
453
00:34:24.070 --> 00:34:26.410
There's gonna be options in there moving forward,
454
00:34:26.950 --> 00:34:31.130
different days that you might be able to attend because we know it's a destination spot.
455
00:34:31.655 --> 00:34:36.234
This this is kinda how I I work. These conferences, I don't want them to be convenient.
456
00:34:36.695 --> 00:34:52.675
Right? You gotta show some proof of work. Hell, yeah. I mean, this is what this is about. I I've told everybody from the very beginning, this is a lifestyle change. So where is it in Colorado? It's in the Norfolk Valley of Colorado. Vehicles get there, or do you have to ride a horse? No. You you you well, you can bring your horse if you want. But
457
00:34:53.375 --> 00:34:54.675
what it is, it's
458
00:34:55.020 --> 00:34:57.200
it's in the Norfolk Valley. It's it's,
459
00:34:57.740 --> 00:35:00.880
Crawford, Colorado, Peonia, Colorado, Hotchkiss.
460
00:35:01.660 --> 00:35:07.785
It's, out by Needle Rock. It it's a beautiful part of the country that a lot of people don't get to see a lot.
461
00:35:08.245 --> 00:35:14.799
You know, Jason Rick of Rick Ranches. He he basically his small smaller ranch is 400 acres right there.
462
00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:25.445
But also what he's doing, he he's small 400 acre ranch. Yeah. Small 4 acre ranch. I would love a small 400 acre. Wouldn't we all? Right? That's what I've been looking for out in Tennessee.
463
00:35:27.425 --> 00:35:31.045
But what he does, he takes care and he stewards 4,000 acres.
464
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:42.815
And so that whole valley, he's got cattle all over that valley. That's awesome. And it's absolutely beautiful. And if you go to the website, of course, beefinish .com, you'll see a picture that we're we're using for that conference.
465
00:35:43.115 --> 00:35:44.655
That's his daily life.
466
00:35:45.194 --> 00:35:45.934
And so
467
00:35:46.395 --> 00:35:50.790
Is that the one with the horse butts? Yeah. Yeah. I love that picture. Yeah. It's it's awesome.
468
00:35:51.170 --> 00:36:02.215
And then he's got needle rock there too. So is that so so it's gonna be held at his ranch. Is that the plan? Yeah. It's it's it's definitely interactive hands on regenerative farming and ranching education.
469
00:36:02.515 --> 00:36:07.720
That's awesome. We're gonna have Jason Rick of Rick Ranches. We're gonna have Weldon,
470
00:36:08.660 --> 00:36:09.160
Warren.
471
00:36:09.620 --> 00:36:15.800
He's out of holy cow. He's out of Lubbock, Texas outside of Lubbock, Texas, West Texas, kinda where I come from.
472
00:36:16.325 --> 00:36:31.130
Weldon's been doing a lot what Will Harris has been doing the last 20 years, and he's been doing it in the desert high plains as far as regenerative farming and ranching. I mean, you wanna talk about proof of work and changing his life because his family kinda suffered from metabolical
473
00:36:31.830 --> 00:36:36.975
health problems, and then he went deep down into the soil and started really understanding
474
00:36:37.675 --> 00:36:41.375
how to steward animals to improve his health.
475
00:36:41.970 --> 00:36:50.290
And so he's he's highly successful. Him and his wife, Anne Warren, have been doing this, like I said, for 20 years. And then we've got, Scott Hawk of,
476
00:36:51.085 --> 00:36:54.865
Colorado as well. He's a 1st generational regenerative farmer and rancher,
477
00:36:55.405 --> 00:37:02.960
and, Sacred Songs Farms. They're on, Twitter. You can look him up. Scott's gonna be speaking there. We're gonna have Katie the Russian,
478
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:04.640
Amy a k 40
479
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:06.580
8 a k 47.
480
00:37:07.085 --> 00:37:09.105
They're gonna be talking about, you know,
481
00:37:09.964 --> 00:37:10.464
nutrition,
482
00:37:10.845 --> 00:37:14.384
their cotton newborns. They're gonna be talking about unschooling.
483
00:37:14.850 --> 00:37:21.670
We're gonna have a lot of I hate the term unschooling. That's what the people keep telling me though. It's like unschooling. What would you call it?
484
00:37:22.025 --> 00:37:23.244
Cowpilling. No.
485
00:37:23.865 --> 00:37:25.325
I don't know. I mean, I like,
486
00:37:26.424 --> 00:37:46.670
rescaling. I don't know what it is. What we can come up with a term. Like, a more positive term. I don't Yeah. Usually, when the term is the reverse of something Mhmm. It's like it's, you know, it's it's a response. It's not an active an active thing. Because it's something that I with my future children, that's what I wanna do. Like, I don't wanna put them through the traditional school system. Sure.
487
00:37:47.230 --> 00:37:52.369
But, also, I don't wanna call it unschooling. Like, I feel like that's Yeah. I really to the movement. I like that.
488
00:37:53.150 --> 00:38:18.684
One thing that's important, Anne Warren, Weldon's wife, they they homeschooled all of their children. Now they're homeschooling all their grandchildren. Right. You see this lifestyle starting to play out. I think homeschooling is a better term. We'll just use homeschooling. We won't use But I feel like you can jazz it up. Yeah. You know? We'll we'll have because homeschooling has, like, a different negative connotation, but that's just because of, like, years of propaganda. That's that's true. Yeah. That's true. I won't use that p other p word either. So
489
00:38:20.525 --> 00:38:27.680
but you if you look at, you know, the so is there gonna be any Bitcoin content? Or is it Yes. We're gonna have, buying the in there. We have
490
00:38:28.060 --> 00:38:29.440
a bit ranching content.
491
00:38:29.900 --> 00:38:31.120
We're gonna have econoalchemist.
492
00:38:31.660 --> 00:38:40.395
We're gonna I love that dude. He's he's freaking top notch, man. Me and Econo have been talking for about a year now. Shout out to Eco. Yeah. Eco. He's got a wonderful family.
493
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:50.705
Real family. And he lives out there in Colorado, man. It's in his you know, I don't know exactly where he lives. I don't wanna docks his location, but, you know, he's doing it right. I mean, he's really creating that lifestyle.
494
00:38:51.245 --> 00:38:52.125
We're gonna have,
495
00:38:52.525 --> 00:39:06.210
mining talk, we're gonna have privacy talk of Bitcoin, we're gonna have, you know, education of the rancher, basically, and the rancher educating us, and we're not gonna use cow pilling. So We're ranch pilling. Yes. We're ranch pilling. And,
496
00:39:06.849 --> 00:39:09.795
what we're gonna end up people are gonna start seeing
497
00:39:10.255 --> 00:39:16.755
is that this you brought it up 2 weeks ago about how all of this is kind of balanced out as far as the rancher
498
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:25.225
really ranch filling us. It's true value for value. It really is. Neighbors helping neighbors. It's it's so balanced that it once
499
00:39:25.545 --> 00:39:27.645
both sides of this coin start talking,
500
00:39:28.105 --> 00:39:33.085
it just flows. And that's what these conferences do. We're gonna have tons of Bitcoin education,
501
00:39:33.569 --> 00:39:35.109
tons of soil education,
502
00:39:35.569 --> 00:39:45.664
people wanna get into regenerative farming and ranching, you will leave that conference and you'll have a call to action, you'll have a game plan. And you're gonna meet people that are being successful right now,
503
00:39:45.964 --> 00:39:51.744
from the last 20 years to the last 7 years to the last couple of years. So you'll see that roadmap,
504
00:39:52.369 --> 00:39:55.670
anything that you want to learn at that conference, because it's gonna be very interactive.
505
00:39:56.450 --> 00:40:02.664
And you're gonna be able to see the valley we're gonna have, we're every day we're cooking everything from Rick Ranch's
506
00:40:03.365 --> 00:40:08.025
all the food we're gonna have gourmet caveman look him up on Twitter. It's gourmet caveman.
507
00:40:08.710 --> 00:40:19.025
He's got a brand or a person? It's a person. That's Michael. Awesome. Great great name. It is. And he is top notch, man. He he's, like, 5 star, but he focuses on fire
508
00:40:19.484 --> 00:40:27.630
and beef now. So, I mean, whenever I was in Tennessee, I was up in 10 Mile. I stopped off at Charles Mayfield's place with Farrell,
509
00:40:28.170 --> 00:40:33.630
the skin product that he's making out of large. Right. So we had a big cook out there and, out there in 10 mile.
510
00:40:35.065 --> 00:40:36.765
He's excited. I mean,
511
00:40:37.065 --> 00:40:47.260
how he approaches, you know, preparing and, you know, he's going to be showing off a lot of different recipes, how to prepare beef. So we're bringing all this education into one spot there in Colorado.
512
00:40:48.520 --> 00:40:51.580
It's a destination spot. It's like a big family gathering.
513
00:40:51.960 --> 00:41:21.810
We have camping sites that you can use that we've already reserved. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. So you wanna camp out. I mean, I think Katie and, Amy, they were talking about getting a RV in Denver, flying into Denver, renting a RV, and then staying at the campsite in their RV. So And with the drive to Denver there is, like, 2a half? Is it? 2a half. Yeah. It's not horrible. No. It's it's it's you go over the mountain range. Right. You know? And, it's not that difficult. Very pretty drive, I presume. Oh, yeah. I mean Colorado is one of the most beautiful states in the country.
514
00:41:22.110 --> 00:41:29.705
Why wouldn't you wanna be there in July? I mean, that's a summer vacation. And if, you know, we look at right now with inflation, you know, with the Bitcoin
515
00:41:30.244 --> 00:41:38.550
volatility, whatever you wanna call it. Yeah. Maybe so. But it's a destination spot that you really should kinda mark on your calendar
516
00:41:39.010 --> 00:41:47.485
because we're not you know, these conferences aren't big. You know? How many people are you expecting? We usually do about a 100 is what I target. What is the capacity?
517
00:41:47.785 --> 00:41:55.050
And what's your max? 100. 100. That's all I'm gonna do. So once once you hit the 100, no one could get no one could get in? No.
518
00:41:55.430 --> 00:42:10.875
No. FOMO. Yep. FOMO freaks. So if people want if people want more information, they wanna buy this beef initiative dot dotcom. This is where they get tickets. You bet. You can go there, and you can look at you know, if you if you really wanna discover what the beef initiative that we keep the website pretty much up to date.
519
00:42:11.290 --> 00:42:16.750
So there's tons of educational information. You know, you wanna buy your beef box. Everything's right there. So
520
00:42:17.050 --> 00:42:18.589
go share it around.
521
00:42:19.115 --> 00:42:36.965
I really like the idea of these small, intimate events. I think, there's a lot of momentum to them right now. I think so. I think, you know, moving forward, we're gonna have more of these conferences. We're gonna try to have 4 total. I've definitely 3 on the books that we've we've looked at and targeted right now. We're gonna have one at White Oak Pastures Right.
522
00:42:37.365 --> 00:42:40.185
In September in Georgia with Will Harris and everything.
523
00:42:40.485 --> 00:42:43.865
But right now, the the the definite focus is on Colorado
524
00:42:44.970 --> 00:42:46.830
and why I want them more intimate.
525
00:42:47.290 --> 00:42:50.670
Once we get to where the the demand is hitting so high,
526
00:42:50.970 --> 00:42:51.869
we can start
527
00:42:52.250 --> 00:42:53.630
live streaming these
528
00:42:54.045 --> 00:43:00.145
globally and make, everybody understand that the beef initiative is a global event. It's a global movement.
529
00:43:00.525 --> 00:43:02.065
I've got people from Australia,
530
00:43:02.710 --> 00:43:03.529
from Africa,
531
00:43:04.069 --> 00:43:05.930
from Europe, from Asia
532
00:43:06.309 --> 00:43:11.930
coming on board from the Middle East that are reaching out and saying, how can we be part of the be finished?
533
00:43:12.455 --> 00:43:16.875
Once we get to where the signal and this narrative is kind of being spread globally,
534
00:43:17.415 --> 00:43:23.490
let's livestream every one of these to where everybody has access, and they can take away from these events,
535
00:43:24.190 --> 00:43:25.810
something that they can use locally.
536
00:43:26.350 --> 00:43:28.030
That reminds me, and it's a trend,
537
00:43:28.405 --> 00:43:37.950
with both me and Marty that we like to talk business on air, but I gotta get you a bitcoin tv.com channel still. Yes. Yes. And We gotta make sure that happens. We need to because as I've been on the road, my,
538
00:43:38.670 --> 00:43:55.030
the the people that are helping out I mean, we're like you. I mean, we don't have a lot. We have some we have a small team of volunteers that have been fantastic. Yeah. You know, once again, it's self funded here, man. We don't have any stupid VC money or anything like that within the beefiness. We can't. You and I talked about that last Right.
539
00:43:55.330 --> 00:43:58.710
Incentives. It is. We have to be grassroots right now.
540
00:43:59.090 --> 00:44:10.855
And by saying that we're podcasting 2.0. Adam Curry got us all transitioned over. So Right. I love podcasting 2.0. It's it's amazing. Once you get into that and you start making that transformation in,
541
00:44:11.190 --> 00:44:19.450
it, you know, just all the things that you can do. It's just we're we're trying to develop a model that we can kinda give to everybody else, say, hey. This is if you got a podcast,
542
00:44:19.825 --> 00:44:23.605
this is how you use it. This is how you transform into it. That reminds me, actually,
543
00:44:23.985 --> 00:44:25.525
the great team over at Fountain,
544
00:44:25.825 --> 00:44:30.290
just released an update. We were just talking about incentives that if you listen through Fountain
545
00:44:30.590 --> 00:44:34.450
Yeah. You can actually earn stats as you listen. So not only can you use,
546
00:44:34.990 --> 00:44:41.235
Fountain or Breeze or another podcasting 2.0 app to support the shows you like and support the content you like directly without a middleman,
547
00:44:42.735 --> 00:44:47.235
which truly aligns incentives because instead of working for your sponsors, you're working for your audience.
548
00:44:48.800 --> 00:45:13.530
Those people can also earn by listening, which I think is a very strong incentive and should get a lot more people into the podcasting 2.0 ecosystem to begin with. Yeah. I saw that yesterday. I was reading that big update. Between that and offline listening, because I I'm a big offline podcast guy. Like, I like to have them downloaded on my phone. Or on the road or something. You don't wanna be like, oh, am I you're, like, right in the middle of a good conversation. It just, like, fucking cuts. Yeah.
549
00:45:14.145 --> 00:45:17.825
So, like, the offline listening and this earning stats for listening is,
550
00:45:18.465 --> 00:45:24.480
2 big things. So the boostograms is massive, I think. It's really cool that people can send their support along with a message.
551
00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:26.480
So we have,
552
00:45:27.099 --> 00:45:28.720
we have this question from Discotoshi.
553
00:45:32.225 --> 00:45:33.685
Is there a way to incentivize
554
00:45:34.065 --> 00:45:46.050
commercial meat buyers, I e, major grocery outlets, to not purchase meat through the big four and move towards regenerative farming product. Is changing consumer behavior the only way to get outlets that supply meat and mass to change?
555
00:45:46.415 --> 00:45:52.115
The current supply chain landscape seems like they will always choose quantity over quality because margins trump everything.
556
00:45:53.214 --> 00:46:02.825
Right now, the only answer is to do the vertical integration through, different types of it doesn't have to be like a Kohl's processing center. And there's Jason in Colorado. He has
557
00:46:06.905 --> 00:46:10.765
Right. That's the only way we're gonna step into this. I mean, you I think you made
558
00:46:11.250 --> 00:46:12.710
a well, white oak is available
559
00:46:13.010 --> 00:46:17.430
in grocery stores. Yeah. Yeah. He is. He he sells through he was the first actually,
560
00:46:17.974 --> 00:46:21.994
grass fed beef ever sold through Whole Foods. So but he's did he circumvent
561
00:46:22.375 --> 00:46:29.640
the the major four? He did by, opening up his own processing. And then he went straight to Whole Foods. It was, like, carry my product. Yes.
562
00:46:30.740 --> 00:46:33.160
So I mean, you were talking last night over steaks.
563
00:46:34.485 --> 00:46:50.660
That bay basically, grocery stores are shit coins. Like, we should just not even Yeah. They are. It's cartoon world, man. It's not even worth fighting that fight, really. No. Why would we? They they're not gonna stop. I mean, look at our consumption. I mean, you walk those you hear it all the time, middle aisles of a grocery store.
564
00:46:51.725 --> 00:47:02.720
How much garbage is in that? Why do we why do we want to participate in that? Well, especially the Bitcoiners? Why? Why are we even participating in that clown world more when we have other options?
565
00:47:03.100 --> 00:47:06.880
We're pioneering into a different direction. We don't have to ask permission.
566
00:47:07.275 --> 00:47:08.175
We don't have
567
00:47:08.715 --> 00:47:13.775
to be dependent on them saying, yeah. We might give you market access into our shelf space,
568
00:47:14.235 --> 00:47:17.570
into, you know, into our grocery store, our supermarket.
569
00:47:18.350 --> 00:47:21.730
And you look well, I was talking yesterday. When was the supermarket
570
00:47:22.109 --> 00:47:24.690
really ramped up? 1971. 1971.
571
00:47:25.295 --> 00:47:35.200
It's like, I I that was just a guess, but, you know, it's like, when you're answering a quiz, you go with c. If you don't know what the answer is, well, you just go with 1971. Someone asks you what year something happened.
572
00:47:35.839 --> 00:47:44.420
But, yeah, it's a good question, but let's let's not even ask that question anymore. Let's create our our own market access. I mean, there's another thing you mentioned.
573
00:47:44.865 --> 00:47:46.565
I'm not sure if it was on air,
574
00:47:47.185 --> 00:47:50.485
the last trip or if it was in per just off the record.
575
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:53.420
Basically, like, the degradation
576
00:47:53.720 --> 00:48:00.220
of farmer market culture around the country. Sure. So I guess that goes part partially in it. Right? Like, you circumvent the
577
00:48:00.735 --> 00:48:02.595
the the grocery stores, the supermarkets.
578
00:48:03.375 --> 00:48:05.155
You try and do direct to consumer
579
00:48:05.855 --> 00:48:12.180
as well. Mhmm. You try and partner with places like Bitcoin Park here where we can have, you know, essentially,
580
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:20.095
ranchers come in, sell their product directly to consumers, maybe, like, a once a month type of thing. They come in with their product. People come in to buy it.
581
00:48:21.195 --> 00:48:27.450
But, also, there's there's gotta be that's a component too, like, revitalizing the farmers market. Right? And and getting people
582
00:48:27.830 --> 00:48:34.090
in the rhythm that, like, every week, they're able to just circumvent the the grocery store, and they're able to go directly to local producers.
583
00:48:34.454 --> 00:48:41.755
100%. I mean, the degradation of the farmer's market, I mean, I don't think a lot of people now these days in 2022
584
00:48:42.055 --> 00:48:47.220
even know truly where the farmer's market came from. You know, it was on the county square.
585
00:48:47.520 --> 00:48:54.644
Everybody came on the weekend and, you know, they'd grown their small crops or whatever, and they came in and they fed the communities.
586
00:48:55.345 --> 00:49:03.860
Now you go to these farmers markets and basically their craft shows. Yeah. You know, and and it's just it's it's it's interesting because
587
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:07.300
if we don't get back to the understanding
588
00:49:07.925 --> 00:49:11.945
the source of the seed of the farmer's market, then the farmer's markets are useless.
589
00:49:12.565 --> 00:49:20.010
And how do these change? How does it change? How do we transform back into what a true farmer's market is? What is it? It goes back to consumer
590
00:49:20.790 --> 00:49:21.290
demand.
591
00:49:21.910 --> 00:49:23.610
And if we start demanding
592
00:49:24.230 --> 00:49:31.205
every time as Bitcoiners because we have to demand everything that we do these days because people aren't listening or they they're they're uneducated.
593
00:49:31.985 --> 00:49:34.165
But if we start asking the right questions,
594
00:49:35.109 --> 00:49:39.609
then that's how we create this new demand of bringing back a farmer's market,
595
00:49:40.070 --> 00:49:41.849
and we're giving these producers
596
00:49:42.150 --> 00:49:42.650
confidence
597
00:49:43.325 --> 00:49:52.339
to start attending these farmers markets again because we want to use them, and we want them to leverage us, and we want to leverage them because we have that symbiotic
598
00:49:52.720 --> 00:50:05.795
relationship saying we're here to help you. You're here to educate us, and we're gonna help each other. So I mean, I guess, like, a pretty actionable thing that people out there can do is, is seek out existing farmers markets that already exist.
599
00:50:08.040 --> 00:50:14.060
Ideally, find one that is is is maybe already in the right direction. But I guess you go there and you try and support
600
00:50:14.575 --> 00:50:34.005
local producers that seem to be doing the right thing and have conversations and shake their hand. Right? Mhmm. Yeah. That's like, that's probably a very actionable thing that actually would result in in positive positive change, I think. I think it is. But, I mean, you guys have gone to farmers markets around here out. Right. I went to one that was like a half an hour away. Right.
601
00:50:34.385 --> 00:50:39.605
And, I mean, I didn't do, like, intense research, but I was I was I was talking to to
602
00:50:40.040 --> 00:50:45.660
a bunch of farmers there that seemed like they had really good product and that their their hearts were in the right place. Mhmm.
603
00:50:46.895 --> 00:50:54.820
And I imagine like, not only just, you know, purchasing from them, like having a conversation with them is like, oh, we're on the right track. Like, there's people out there that actually still care.
604
00:50:55.220 --> 00:51:04.120
They really do. And and and that's the best way. You know, we've had this conversation before is, like, how do you how do you orange fill, you know, a rancher?
605
00:51:04.580 --> 00:51:14.070
You know, know, I always tell everybody, of course, you go up and you shake their hand. You look at them in the eye, and you ask them, would you educate me and tell me why you do what you do?
606
00:51:14.630 --> 00:51:16.330
And by doing that,
607
00:51:17.270 --> 00:51:21.210
most of these regenerative farmers and ranchers or just ranchers in general,
608
00:51:21.835 --> 00:51:23.775
number 1, that they're educators,
609
00:51:24.555 --> 00:51:26.095
they want people to understand
610
00:51:26.395 --> 00:51:31.809
what they do every day. Once you show them that type of respect, and you ask the right questions,
611
00:51:32.269 --> 00:51:33.329
you're not soliciting
612
00:51:33.630 --> 00:51:34.130
anything.
613
00:51:34.509 --> 00:51:41.515
You're really yearning to be educated on where and why and what the food is that they that that they steward for us.
614
00:51:42.134 --> 00:51:45.275
By showing that type of respect, you're asking the right questions.
615
00:51:45.894 --> 00:51:52.470
And we have to learn to ask the right questions when it comes to our food anymore. We don't ask the right questions.
616
00:51:53.250 --> 00:51:58.045
We're not asking one of those. We're not truly wanting to know why those cattle died.
617
00:51:58.905 --> 00:52:02.205
The reason they died is because the apparatus that they're under.
618
00:52:02.790 --> 00:52:06.330
Okay? Whenever you go into these farmers markets, and you go in there,
619
00:52:06.710 --> 00:52:08.090
and you're somewhat educated,
620
00:52:08.630 --> 00:52:12.250
you understand their pain points as them being producers,
621
00:52:12.694 --> 00:52:15.595
you can really show that respect and start asking the right questions.
622
00:52:15.895 --> 00:52:19.914
If we ask the right questions, we're gonna build a dialogue that transforms
623
00:52:20.214 --> 00:52:21.530
into a new vertical integration and how we look at food. I love it. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense to me.
624
00:52:27.610 --> 00:52:28.110
We're
625
00:52:30.855 --> 00:52:31.655
we're we're at,
626
00:52:32.135 --> 00:52:34.555
52 minutes. I was just reading some of this comment.
627
00:52:35.095 --> 00:52:38.795
Yeah. And, I mean, I have I have a rabbit hole recap in an hour and 15.
628
00:52:39.810 --> 00:52:41.350
Also gonna be from the studio.
629
00:52:43.890 --> 00:52:44.390
But,
630
00:52:45.570 --> 00:52:54.214
so is there anything else you wanna discuss before we wrap this up? But you want should we talk a little bit about the the work on the Tennessee beef initiative you've done over the last 2 weeks? Or Yeah.
631
00:52:54.675 --> 00:52:55.895
You know, I left Texas
632
00:52:56.270 --> 00:52:59.569
at the end of May, and here we are. What's today? 23rd,
633
00:52:59.869 --> 00:53:03.089
24th, something like that of June. What's the 23rd? 23rd.
634
00:53:03.445 --> 00:53:04.665
So 24 days,
635
00:53:05.445 --> 00:53:13.329
you know, this this jaunt, overall, it's over 6,000 miles. This jaunt that I just went out on was over 3,000 something miles,
636
00:53:13.950 --> 00:53:16.609
and a lot of people don't understand what I'm doing.
637
00:53:17.150 --> 00:53:18.769
I want everybody to understand
638
00:53:19.309 --> 00:53:20.130
the importance
639
00:53:21.945 --> 00:53:23.325
of getting out of
640
00:53:23.705 --> 00:53:30.845
the interstate mindset. Right. There's a lot of this country that is being stolen out from underneath us in many ways.
641
00:53:31.369 --> 00:53:31.869
Perceptions
642
00:53:32.330 --> 00:53:33.150
is 1.
643
00:53:33.609 --> 00:53:34.990
The amount of opportunity
644
00:53:35.369 --> 00:53:39.950
that's out here in the United States that are people are wanting to have this lifestyle change.
645
00:53:40.625 --> 00:53:45.525
The amount of people that I've seen and talked to on this trip within this tour
646
00:53:46.145 --> 00:53:53.090
is that there's a disconnect going on in this country. We think that we have a lot of access to information right now. We don't.
647
00:53:53.550 --> 00:53:56.930
We're in a small index of a Google index these days.
648
00:53:57.285 --> 00:54:00.265
People have to let that shit go, man. They have to start
649
00:54:00.725 --> 00:54:02.505
looking in a broader sense
650
00:54:03.125 --> 00:54:06.185
of a lifestyle change, and it starts with
651
00:54:06.610 --> 00:54:07.670
creating relationships
652
00:54:08.290 --> 00:54:10.390
with people that are trying to feed us.
653
00:54:11.090 --> 00:54:15.510
If you can make that kind of a yearning for yourself as a strong sovereign individual,
654
00:54:16.224 --> 00:54:23.765
then you're going to get off the damn interstate of this. It does this censorship, the lack of information that we have right now going on.
655
00:54:24.190 --> 00:54:29.730
Once you do something like I've just done, traveling through all these states, all these miles, all the backcountry roads,
656
00:54:30.109 --> 00:54:31.329
you're gonna end up
657
00:54:31.755 --> 00:54:32.575
finding out
658
00:54:33.195 --> 00:54:37.855
that it's not as bad as you think, but there's some alarming things going on as well.
659
00:54:38.450 --> 00:54:40.390
Let's work together as a Bitcoin community.
660
00:54:40.690 --> 00:54:49.535
We're the pioneers here. Nobody else is gonna pioneer through, this, or we need to punch through, and we need to start with lifestyle,
661
00:54:50.154 --> 00:54:51.535
with lead with food,
662
00:54:52.395 --> 00:54:56.890
sound food, and sound money. And that's what if we can do that collectively,
663
00:54:57.590 --> 00:55:00.650
we can create and build this movement into a bigger
664
00:55:01.430 --> 00:55:02.570
signal and narrative
665
00:55:03.195 --> 00:55:04.655
where we are the distraction.
666
00:55:05.355 --> 00:55:07.535
Those 10,000 cattle that died
667
00:55:07.995 --> 00:55:11.375
don't need to be the distraction anymore. We need to become the distraction.
668
00:55:12.680 --> 00:55:13.980
I mean, that's an interesting
669
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.900
that I just pulled back a ton, but, I mean, that was an interesting comment you made
670
00:55:20.275 --> 00:55:21.815
that people think we have
671
00:55:22.995 --> 00:55:28.750
access to all this information, but we don't. But we we do kinda. There's just there's just so much information.
672
00:55:29.210 --> 00:55:32.910
Mhmm. And then people I guess it's just the human condition. They
673
00:55:33.849 --> 00:55:52.300
they bring themselves into this little bubble. It's like a self selected bubble. It is. And it's you know, that's algorithms. That's, you know, Google itself. I mean, Google's a joke. I mean, it's good for, you know, that's what I hear. There's this element, right, that it's it's it's okay. So we have the world's information at our fingertips. You have the most content available
674
00:55:52.905 --> 00:55:57.085
that anyone has ever had in human history. Mhmm. But at the same time,
675
00:55:57.385 --> 00:56:02.759
the human to human interactions are probably at, like, an all time low. Like, if you go back 30 years
676
00:56:03.200 --> 00:56:11.565
Uh-huh. The amount of people that the amount of the average person, the amount of people they would have a conversation with, like, looking them in the eyes and having a real conversation with,
677
00:56:12.025 --> 00:56:14.445
was probably significantly higher than today
678
00:56:14.984 --> 00:56:15.484
because
679
00:56:16.080 --> 00:56:30.244
people have, like, this comfort blanket of of the phone or the computer or the screen to hide behind. Right? There's a division of interpersonal communication going on in the United States and humanity right now, and it's dangerous because we've lost touch with each other on a personal level.
680
00:56:30.704 --> 00:56:36.070
And it is something that is rampant, and it's something that people don't wanna admit, And people really
681
00:56:36.530 --> 00:56:48.414
they're having a hard time connecting with each other. And all I can say is, Sal was right. We're talking about handshakes last night. Right? And how truly important that is to have that human contact with each other.
682
00:56:49.035 --> 00:56:53.630
We need to really strive to get back to that. And it it adds value to your life.
683
00:56:54.009 --> 00:57:00.029
It's it's basically the lifestyle that everybody's yearning for. They just don't know that they're yearning for it in this way.
684
00:57:01.335 --> 00:57:02.955
If we can kind of create,
685
00:57:04.055 --> 00:57:04.955
a new pathway
686
00:57:05.335 --> 00:57:07.355
to that interpersonal connection,
687
00:57:07.975 --> 00:57:11.420
then people's lives do get better. Yeah. I mean, I think
688
00:57:14.200 --> 00:57:15.900
I, I, I relate to that significantly.
689
00:57:17.685 --> 00:57:23.945
And I try and practice what I preach. So, you know, part of the reason why my priorities now are,
690
00:57:24.805 --> 00:57:25.520
you know,
691
00:57:26.160 --> 00:57:29.060
we're taking such a huge gamble on Bitcoin Park. Yeah.
692
00:57:30.160 --> 00:57:32.580
And, you know, we already I already have
693
00:57:33.305 --> 00:57:38.125
all these friends I've made online, I already have this audience online, I have this platform online.
694
00:57:38.585 --> 00:57:39.325
But ultimately,
695
00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:42.740
to have a place where people can meet in person and
696
00:57:43.120 --> 00:57:44.500
have in person relationships
697
00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:49.620
is so powerful. Even if the scope of the amount of people that might see
698
00:57:49.985 --> 00:57:51.525
or be a part of those conversations
699
00:57:51.905 --> 00:57:54.485
is decreased. The quality of the conversation
700
00:57:55.185 --> 00:57:56.245
is so much better.
701
00:57:57.185 --> 00:57:58.085
And I think,
702
00:57:58.590 --> 00:57:59.090
I
703
00:57:59.710 --> 00:58:01.310
mean, hopefully, the gamble play pay
704
00:58:01.870 --> 00:58:02.690
pays off.
705
00:58:04.270 --> 00:58:08.984
But I think there's, like, this nice little middle ground. There's this combination, right, where you you have,
706
00:58:10.164 --> 00:58:12.505
places for people to come together in person,
707
00:58:12.884 --> 00:58:29.694
and then also places where you're the this place is also a place where you're able to produce content that has a global reach. And there's a lot of similarities there to, basically, the Colorado event and what you view beef initiative for. Right? Where you have, okay, a 100 people in person having a high signal real conversations,
708
00:58:30.075 --> 00:58:34.815
and then you also have globally produced content that that goes out from those same
709
00:58:35.380 --> 00:58:35.880
locations.
710
00:58:36.180 --> 00:58:41.319
Well, in that that's a fantastic point. I think it was Rod saying, you know, hyper,
711
00:58:41.700 --> 00:58:42.200
localized
712
00:58:42.755 --> 00:58:45.875
broadcast globally. I can't remember the true phrase he said.
713
00:58:46.515 --> 00:58:52.590
Locally produced, globally distributed. There you go. That's his shaker wanter's hand. Right. Like, he never shuts up about that.
714
00:58:53.050 --> 00:59:29.369
Well, let's look at that. I mean, look at Nashville at Bitcoin Park. Right. Okay. What's our next steps with the Tennessee be finished? Right. Well, it's gonna be Bitcoin Park. Right? Right. What are we gonna do? We're gonna bring a rancher in here. We're gonna adopt him. Yes. And he's gonna come. We're gonna have our own damn farmer's market. He's gonna adopt us, hopefully. There you go. We'll adopt each other. Exactly. It'll be symbiotic. It'll be that balance that we we refer to. We don't have to ask permission. Well, why is that so valuable? Because it's the quality of the relationship that we're building. Right. And people will yearn to come to Bitcoin Park once a month to buy their beef or their clean produce, whatever it is, right.
715
00:59:30.070 --> 00:59:36.625
And once we get that going, guess what happens across the nation with all these Bitcoin meetups in the different headquarters?
716
00:59:37.085 --> 00:59:39.025
They start doing the same thing. Exactly.
717
00:59:39.965 --> 00:59:47.760
And once you get it going, once you get it flowing, a lot of risk. I mean, you know, Bitcoin Park is risk. Right? You know, it's dollars and cents. At some point, you gotta
718
00:59:48.220 --> 00:59:54.925
you gotta just go for it. Right? You have to go through it, and you just innovate. You don't have to ask for permission anymore. Bitcoiners don't ask for permission. Right.
719
00:59:55.485 --> 01:00:03.505
And so once we get that kind of signal going, and we show proof of work, and we show the successes and the failures and the iterations that we have to go through,
720
01:00:03.820 --> 01:00:06.000
I guarantee we get one Tennessee rancher
721
01:00:06.300 --> 01:00:06.800
here
722
01:00:07.100 --> 01:00:11.575
in Bitcoin Park, and Bitcoiners are buying the beef from him.
723
01:00:11.954 --> 01:00:14.454
He's set for the next 5 to 10 years.
724
01:00:14.755 --> 01:00:16.375
We're talking about true innovation
725
01:00:16.755 --> 01:00:28.450
of pure animal protein again that which we lost the last 50 years, since the supermarket that was created in 1971, that's been exacerbated by these 4 global processing and packaging centers.
726
01:00:29.035 --> 01:00:34.015
And that's how we do this. I mean, it's definitely it's it's a little bit tangential, but
727
01:00:36.930 --> 01:00:39.430
I I can't stop and I won't stop. So,
728
01:00:39.970 --> 01:00:48.165
you know, one of the things that we are doing at Bitcoin Park is is, for whatever reason, the previous tenants had a coffee shop here. So we have a coffee shop already.
729
01:00:49.744 --> 01:00:50.705
And we brought in
730
01:00:51.950 --> 01:00:55.090
we haven't had we haven't had a rancher here yet, but we had,
731
01:00:56.270 --> 01:00:57.650
this farm to cup
732
01:00:59.355 --> 01:01:01.295
Guatemalan producer of coffee,
733
01:01:01.595 --> 01:01:03.455
and she came in with her husband.
734
01:01:04.395 --> 01:01:07.670
And, you know, their eyes lit up. They were like, this is exactly
735
01:01:07.970 --> 01:01:11.670
what we've been looking for, a way to connect these farmers in Guatemala
736
01:01:12.049 --> 01:01:15.190
directly to consumers and cut out all the middlemen in between.
737
01:01:16.225 --> 01:01:28.480
And I I like to think that when we start to get ranchers here, it's gonna be a similar it's gonna be a similar situation. It'll flow like water. It'll be so natural. And you think about, you know, you come here in for the coffee. Right?
738
01:01:28.940 --> 01:01:34.615
Partnerships with Ibex, partnerships with the Oshi. You know, look at all these partnerships that are starting to happen
739
01:01:34.994 --> 01:01:35.895
to where people,
740
01:01:36.355 --> 01:01:41.830
they don't wanna go anywhere else. And if they know that it's happening and they feel wanted and connected,
741
01:01:42.450 --> 01:01:49.110
then once again, here we go, man. It's an international lifestyle that you've been yearning for. And, like, the crazy thing is when we were talking
742
01:01:50.195 --> 01:01:50.775
to them,
743
01:01:51.235 --> 01:02:13.244
they were making us coffee and stuff. We were just talking about, like, coffee and farming and stuff. We weren't they're not Bitcoiners. Right. They're not Bitcoiners yet. Yeah. It doesn't have to be about And we just Bitcoin never came up, except that they'll accept payment in Bitcoin, but they can take dollars if they want. Sure. And that that that and then that's what I always tell people. Don't start the conversation about Bitcoin.
744
01:02:13.704 --> 01:02:18.365
Get educated first. See where they're you know, they're from Guatemala. You know? Learn about Guatemala
745
01:02:18.910 --> 01:02:33.955
Guatemalan coffee, how they raise those coffee beans. Everything about that, you need to educate yourself so you could speak towards it. Yeah. It shows you it shows you what a global movement it is, by the way, because Ibex is a Guatemalan company. It is. So we were like, you can accept Bitcoin
746
01:02:34.780 --> 01:02:49.215
with this Guatemalan company that has that has market access in the United States, and you can get dollars in your bank account if you don't want Bitcoin. And it all kinda comes full circle. It's starting to happen. And then I mean, it is. It's just it's starting to really unfold pretty quickly.
747
01:02:50.075 --> 01:02:51.250
And, you know,
748
01:02:51.650 --> 01:03:00.550
everything like the tickets for the conferences, you know, you can pay in Bitcoin or, you know, whatever. We use all this technology already with our beef. You know, I've told everybody we've had over $100,000
749
01:03:01.255 --> 01:03:02.635
beef sold through the beef initiative,
750
01:03:03.015 --> 01:03:03.995
you know, through Bitcoin.
751
01:03:04.375 --> 01:03:05.275
And so
752
01:03:06.135 --> 01:03:07.515
it's happening. And
753
01:03:08.055 --> 01:03:09.995
if you think that you need to wait anymore
754
01:03:10.329 --> 01:03:11.549
to adopt this
755
01:03:11.849 --> 01:03:12.349
transformation
756
01:03:12.730 --> 01:03:18.109
into everything that we've been talking about, and you especially been in since since you're such an old school guy,
757
01:03:19.745 --> 01:03:35.950
You know, you you you see it too, and you feel it. And I think it's our responsibility to bring these other people in, and it's not about telling them they have to start accepting Bitcoin. It's just saying, hey. We want you to be involved with us Exactly. And let it let it happen holistically and naturally. So we have,
758
01:03:36.885 --> 01:03:38.585
Gwet Vox in the comments.
759
01:03:39.845 --> 01:03:41.305
I think that's how you pronounce
760
01:03:41.605 --> 01:03:42.425
his name.
761
01:03:43.045 --> 01:03:44.345
And he supports
762
01:03:45.240 --> 01:03:47.420
3 local producers in SoCal
763
01:03:48.040 --> 01:03:50.859
Mhmm. Southern California. And he wants to know
764
01:03:51.319 --> 01:03:56.684
how does he kick start some kind of Bitcoin beef initiative in Southern California. And I guess
765
01:03:57.144 --> 01:04:05.170
people are asking from any anywhere in the country. Sure. They want they want to try and start something in their area. What what's their steps? What what should they
766
01:04:05.470 --> 01:04:18.295
do? The first step is, basically, right now, we're at the point where you can still contact me and we can have a conversation. I love scheduling meetings with people like that. The 3 local producers, especially in Southern California right now,
767
01:04:19.010 --> 01:04:21.990
They need our help in California. So let's let's coordinate
768
01:04:22.370 --> 01:04:25.350
and reach out to me DM me on, you know,
769
01:04:26.825 --> 01:04:30.525
Twitter, or you can email of course to text txlim@beefinitiative.com.
770
01:04:33.305 --> 01:04:47.975
Most important thing for everybody to hear there's a protocol that's going on with people coming into the beef initiative. Every producer that gets added to the beef initiative right now it's crowdsourced. It's because it's already has proof of work. So
771
01:04:48.275 --> 01:04:55.200
Bitcoiners and producers are starting to see that the value add of getting into the producer section of beef initiative. It's beef initiative.comforward/producer.
772
01:04:57.500 --> 01:05:03.325
Once they're in there, people start calling them. People start contacting them. They start being educated,
773
01:05:03.625 --> 01:05:05.645
they start reaching out to them more.
774
01:05:06.185 --> 01:05:19.250
Once they've established that themselves in that producer section, then we can start really looking at what are their pain points. Let's start working together. Let's coordinate with me, and we start developing a plan, you know, regionally, geographically,
775
01:05:19.869 --> 01:05:20.369
demographically,
776
01:05:21.255 --> 01:05:25.994
everything. We look at, you know, what they've got going on. And just like with Ryan in Missouri,
777
01:05:26.295 --> 01:05:31.990
you know, he's doing something different than, you know, Justin is doing in the panhandle. Right. That Jason's doing in Colorado.
778
01:05:32.369 --> 01:05:34.230
Cole's doing in Southern Texas,
779
01:05:34.690 --> 01:05:35.509
Central Texas.
780
01:05:35.890 --> 01:05:40.414
So, you know, let's coordinate. Let's start building these nodes across United
781
01:05:40.954 --> 01:05:44.414
States. It starts with a, you know, a quick conversation and some collaboration.
782
01:05:45.434 --> 01:05:46.255
I love it.
783
01:05:47.035 --> 01:05:54.000
By the way, we pronounce his name get Fox. He's telling me in the comments. Okay. Get Fox. I'm just getting So he's gonna reach out to you. Perfect.
784
01:05:55.100 --> 01:05:59.775
Well, Slim, it's been a pleasure. It's always a pleasure to be with you on and off the air.
785
01:06:00.635 --> 01:06:02.815
Do you have any final thoughts before we wrap up?
786
01:06:03.275 --> 01:06:07.780
You know, I hope you can come to, the conference and talk about it. I I will say 90%.
787
01:06:08.240 --> 01:06:18.474
90%. Well, if if To you and the freaks, 90%. That that'll work for me. I won't push you anymore right there. And, we'll we'll know we'll know in the next couple of days. Once we get those dates done, I'll be right. Move around. So
788
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:27.040
transfer those dates around so you can be in Colorado. And I would say I would I would absolutely love to be there. And if I'm not there, I'm gonna have massive FOMO. So
789
01:06:28.985 --> 01:06:41.369
Well, let's let's make everybody have some FOMO right now. I mean, this is what this is about. Let's, you know, let's not be fragile these days. Fuck you. Let's step it step this shit up, man. Let's really get serious about this.
790
01:06:41.990 --> 01:06:47.755
And, you know, how many relationships and friendships that I've established this last year is just priceless.
791
01:06:48.455 --> 01:06:55.835
Let's keep this going. Everybody can participate. You don't have to ask for permission. This is for everybody. We're open source for crowdsource, ma'am.
792
01:06:56.140 --> 01:07:01.840
Let's let's do this movement. Let's let's not just watch the number and expect number go up.
793
01:07:02.220 --> 01:07:04.800
How we make it is that we start really collaborating
794
01:07:05.100 --> 01:07:09.505
together, and we start bringing in all of this intelligence, all this education,
795
01:07:10.845 --> 01:07:11.744
this this
796
01:07:12.204 --> 01:07:12.704
humility,
797
01:07:13.339 --> 01:07:14.960
as you say, stay humble.
798
01:07:15.740 --> 01:07:18.559
Let's stack some sats and let's stack some protein.
799
01:07:19.260 --> 01:07:29.075
Oh, that's a great sign off. I wanna thank you again, Slim. Thanks, Slim. I wanna thank all the freaks who continue to listen and support the show. Reminder, this show is completely audience funded
800
01:07:29.535 --> 01:07:30.035
by
801
01:07:30.339 --> 01:07:37.319
you guys, and I I really do appreciate your support. Easiest way to do is podcasting 2 point o apps or going to dispatch.com.
802
01:07:39.175 --> 01:07:40.395
If you send boostograms,
803
01:07:40.695 --> 01:07:41.675
I will read them
804
01:07:42.055 --> 01:07:48.690
for the next episode. I don't know when that oh, I think our next our next dispatch is gonna be on Sunday, unless we have one before then.
805
01:07:49.950 --> 01:07:55.650
I have a surprise guest. I don't know if I should tease it. Should I tease it, Slim? Yeah. You have to.
806
01:07:56.705 --> 01:08:01.365
We we're gonna have Clark Moody in the studio, so it's gonna be a really great rip. Nice.
807
01:08:01.985 --> 01:08:07.470
With the Bitcoin dashboard fame, among other things, ride or die freak. So I'm very excited for that.
808
01:08:08.730 --> 01:08:14.005
Yeah. And with all that said, stay humble, Stack Stats. Love you all. Thank you for being patient with me, and we will
809
01:08:14.385 --> 01:08:19.125

810
01:08:19.750 --> 01:08:24.570

00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:35.880
2
00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:39.720
but we are here for another serial dispatch.
3
00:00:40.755 --> 00:00:42.695
If you've been following along on Twitter,
4
00:00:43.235 --> 00:00:45.655
we have, this brand new
5
00:00:46.435 --> 00:00:49.415
studio in Bitcoin Park in Nashville.
6
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:51.830
So I will be prioritizing
7
00:00:53.090 --> 00:00:59.954
in person conversations going forward. That means that the Tuesday schedule every week is officially dead.
8
00:01:00.655 --> 00:01:03.714
We will be going with the flow. Some days, you will get
9
00:01:04.310 --> 00:01:06.570
multiple dispatches on the same day.
10
00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:08.730
Some days, you'll get no dispatches.
11
00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:11.690
I will try and keep you updated on Twitter.
12
00:01:12.185 --> 00:01:14.445
But if you subscribe on Twitch, twitch.tv/dispatch,
13
00:01:16.024 --> 00:01:20.045
or if you subscribe to the podcast feed in your favorite podcast app by searching Dispatch,
14
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:22.700
you will get notified every time,
15
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:24.940
a new dispatch drops.
16
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.300
Also, if you go to our chat, citadel chat,
17
00:01:29.295 --> 00:01:30.275
by going to dispatch.com
18
00:01:30.975 --> 00:01:31.875
and clicking that
19
00:01:32.175 --> 00:01:33.475
citadel chat button,
20
00:01:34.335 --> 00:01:35.315
I will obviously,
21
00:01:35.775 --> 00:01:36.275
notify
22
00:01:36.655 --> 00:01:37.155
everyone
23
00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:42.479
whenever we're going live and keeping people updated on the schedule. But,
24
00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:45.259
I'm really loving these in person rips, and,
25
00:01:46.225 --> 00:01:50.885
as a result, it's gonna it's gonna be going with the flow and going with our guest schedule.
26
00:01:51.745 --> 00:01:52.885
With all that said,
27
00:01:53.345 --> 00:01:55.045
this is seal dispatch 67.
28
00:01:56.370 --> 00:01:59.670
Seal dispatch is a 100% audience funded without,
29
00:02:00.850 --> 00:02:02.390
sponsors or ads.
30
00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:03.670
So
31
00:02:04.155 --> 00:02:13.055
it exists because of you guys and your generous support, so I I do wanna thank everyone who continues to support the show. As always, you can support the show at seal dispatch.com,
32
00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:15.439
with our BTCPay
33
00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:20.319
instance. We're a Bitcoin only operation, so the only way you can contribute is,
34
00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:22.000
with Bitcoin.
35
00:02:22.955 --> 00:02:28.895
You can also support the show via podcasting 2 point o apps, like fountain podcasts and Breeze Wallet.
36
00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:35.880
You can just load them up with sats. They work like a regular podcast app. Load them up with sats. Choose how many sats per minute,
37
00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:38.200
you think the show is worth,
38
00:02:39.105 --> 00:02:44.004
and it just streams right to my node. You also have a feature called boost, boostograms,
39
00:02:44.465 --> 00:02:46.084
where you can choose a
40
00:02:46.510 --> 00:02:48.930
set amount and send it with a message.
41
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:53.570
And if you do that, I will be reading the top paying,
42
00:02:54.465 --> 00:02:56.005
boost the highest boosts,
43
00:02:56.385 --> 00:02:57.845
of the previous episode,
44
00:02:58.305 --> 00:02:59.285
every new episode.
45
00:02:59.745 --> 00:03:02.005
So with that said, we have CA Danner.
46
00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:04.360
She contributed
47
00:03:05.140 --> 00:03:10.120
10,000 sat. She said, thank you, Matt Odell, from your satoshi white paper, artist freak, CA Danner.
48
00:03:10.555 --> 00:03:11.855
We have letter 6173555
49
00:03:15.275 --> 00:03:18.175
sats, Bitcoin and Ranchers is based as fuck. Great episode.
50
00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:20.689
4,000 sats from Nick, inspired.
51
00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:24.129
4,000 sats from Law of Bitcoin. Bullish on ranch pilling.
52
00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:29.155
See, he doesn't like cow pilling you do. And then we have, Chad Farrow with 3,333
53
00:03:30.255 --> 00:03:35.315
stats. He did that twice, and he said Bitcoin Wednesday. Well, Chad, today is Bitcoin Thursday now.
54
00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:37.400
Judging by those boostograms,
55
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:39.319
you can tell
56
00:03:40.019 --> 00:03:43.319
that our last rip was with Texas Slim himself,
57
00:03:44.625 --> 00:03:48.805
and we had some other great guests with us for that rip. But we have Texas Slim back here again,
58
00:03:49.504 --> 00:03:54.360
for an update on on what has been going on for the last 2 weeks. How's it going, Texas Slim?
59
00:03:54.820 --> 00:03:57.060
60
00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:01.974
It's, it's going well. I've been on the road, man. I've been driving and driving.
61
00:04:02.355 --> 00:04:06.055
And I asked you last night, I said, how long has it been since I was there?
62
00:04:06.515 --> 00:04:07.015
So,
63
00:04:07.394 --> 00:04:08.355
I went to,
64
00:04:09.155 --> 00:04:10.260
Knoxville, went
65
00:04:10.739 --> 00:04:11.560
to Chattanooga,
66
00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:13.159
Charlotte, Columbia,
67
00:04:13.540 --> 00:04:14.040
Greenville,
68
00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:14.840
Charleston,
69
00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:17.800
through the Smoky Mountains to the Blue Ridge,
70
00:04:18.500 --> 00:04:19.560
doing a lot of
71
00:04:20.055 --> 00:04:22.955
boots on the ground work and meeting a lot of different Bitcoiners,
72
00:04:23.735 --> 00:04:25.195
different Bitcoin meetups,
73
00:04:25.735 --> 00:04:33.479
and really kind of spreading the word about, you know, the the initiative basically being here in Tennessee now, you know, our 2nd major headquarters.
74
00:04:34.819 --> 00:04:37.845
Lot of good noise and a lot of good signal, a lot of good feedback
75
00:04:38.245 --> 00:04:39.865
76
00:04:40.325 --> 00:04:43.625
Slim was came into town yesterday. I had them over for steaks.
77
00:04:44.085 --> 00:04:46.940
Slim, how did I do? Were they were they alright? It's top notch. They were
78
00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:49.540
79
00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:52.840
and everything. You know, as far as getting the wood,
80
00:04:53.220 --> 00:04:56.185
it was it was highly impressive. And,
81
00:04:56.725 --> 00:04:58.505
it it was kinda cool because,
82
00:04:59.525 --> 00:05:04.180
I didn't know what kind of stakes you were going to to serve last night
83
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.420
in, White Oak Pastures. White Oak. That's good. You've been doing that for a while, haven't you? Yeah.
84
00:05:10.945 --> 00:05:15.445
85
00:05:15.985 --> 00:05:16.965
White Oak is,
86
00:05:17.425 --> 00:05:19.850
on the, you know, one of the cutting edge farms that does,
87
00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:22.170
regenerative farming. Mhmm.
88
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:25.310
And they just seem like they're running a great operation.
89
00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:27.790
90
00:05:28.294 --> 00:05:35.595
they're good. They're kinda like a good standard to look at as far as what you can do in regenerative farming and ranching, how you can regrow soil.
91
00:05:36.020 --> 00:05:45.685
Will Harris and his family went out there 25 years ago to Bluffton, Georgia. And if you look at Bluffton, Georgia on the map, it's about 2 and a half, 3 hours south of Atlanta.
92
00:05:46.065 --> 00:05:49.125
It is out in the middle of nowhere. It's a one horse town.
93
00:05:49.425 --> 00:05:52.245
And once you get into White Oak Pastures itself,
94
00:05:52.669 --> 00:05:58.610
you can go in any direction and see what they've done through the last 25 years. And it's amazing
95
00:05:59.150 --> 00:06:06.025
the progress that can be made to regrow the soul, to steward the land, to steward the animals, to steward a community.
96
00:06:06.485 --> 00:06:17.130
He's, you know, he's preeminent right now in the United States along with, you know, Joe Salatin in a lot of the ranchers that we're bringing into the beef initiative. They're doing exactly the same thing. That's freaking awesome.
97
00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:21.185
98
00:06:22.044 --> 00:06:24.705
I think, the second ever dispatch that has video.
99
00:06:26.284 --> 00:06:28.064
So welcome to the new studio.
100
00:06:28.844 --> 00:06:29.085
We
101
00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:31.920
not all dispatches will have video
102
00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:39.360
going with the flow on that too. It's gonna depend on who the guest is and whether or not they wanna be on video. Some of them will be audio only still.
103
00:06:40.025 --> 00:06:42.125
If you are contributing in the live chat,
104
00:06:42.745 --> 00:06:45.965
I will be pulling it up occasionally, basically switching between,
105
00:06:46.985 --> 00:06:49.440
the video and the live chat. So
106
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.980
definitely continue to put your questions there and your comments.
107
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.980
Same goes with the live chat on Twitch and Twitter.
108
00:06:58.345 --> 00:07:04.845
Cool. So one of the big things we wanna talk about was these cattle deaths that, have been circulating on the Internet. Yeah.
109
00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:09.320
Kinda look like mass graves of of of cows.
110
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:11.460
What's the deal with that? Is there
111
00:07:12.634 --> 00:07:22.570
112
00:07:23.830 --> 00:07:43.280
You know, it space lasers. Space lasers. Is that what it was? Okay. I I haven't really paid attention. Somebody brought that up, and I keep on getting a lot of, you know, DMs and everything, you know, and people are kind of freaked out about it. But what I want to do in what we've done within the beef initiative, I mean, we have direct contact with ranchers all across United States.
113
00:07:45.020 --> 00:07:45.520
And
114
00:07:45.884 --> 00:07:49.985
let's lose the conspiracy theories. Let's get back to pragmatic
115
00:07:50.365 --> 00:07:52.785
approach to what's going on in our beef industry.
116
00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:54.840
And that's the best way to start.
117
00:07:55.940 --> 00:07:58.200
These cattle are fat cattle.
118
00:07:58.580 --> 00:08:01.400
That's what cattle are called before they go to harvest.
119
00:08:02.014 --> 00:08:07.715
These cattle were basically one step away from getting harvested, gone into the kill barns.
120
00:08:08.495 --> 00:08:10.354
The the images that were shown
121
00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:15.240
in the video shown, they're all stacked up nice and neat.
122
00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:21.065
And everybody thinks that it all of a sudden, all these cattle just drop dead. And that's just
123
00:08:21.365 --> 00:08:24.345
once again a manipulation of information of content.
124
00:08:25.045 --> 00:08:28.185
You see it all the time, and what it is really is a distraction
125
00:08:28.725 --> 00:08:29.160
for
126
00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:30.380
starting off.
127
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:33.340
It's it's sad when this happens
128
00:08:33.880 --> 00:08:38.795
into any type of food industry in which feeds our nation and feeds
129
00:08:39.175 --> 00:08:39.915
the world.
130
00:08:40.615 --> 00:08:42.715
But one thing that people need to understand
131
00:08:43.095 --> 00:08:50.380
is this happens in because of elements. This happens because of the protocol that we're using right now
132
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:55.740
to grow fat cattle to where they can be basically sold on a market
133
00:08:56.105 --> 00:08:57.565
through a feedlot system.
134
00:08:58.585 --> 00:09:01.325
That feedlot system is basically right now controlled
135
00:09:01.945 --> 00:09:03.165
by chemical companies
136
00:09:03.625 --> 00:09:08.380
and by 4 major processing companies that are global processing companies.
137
00:09:08.920 --> 00:09:15.564
They're not basically based in the United States. 3 of the major processing companies in that that harvest
138
00:09:16.425 --> 00:09:16.925
85%,
139
00:09:17.384 --> 00:09:21.485
about 80, 85% of our animal protein in the United States controls
140
00:09:22.290 --> 00:09:23.430
all of these feedlots.
141
00:09:24.130 --> 00:09:27.269
By saying that, what had happened during this time in Kansas,
142
00:09:28.769 --> 00:09:34.225
before that heat wave that hit the Midwest, it was around 70, 72 degrees.
143
00:09:34.925 --> 00:09:36.625
When you have fat cattle,
144
00:09:37.085 --> 00:09:40.785
what that means that are getting a mixed ration of feed.
145
00:09:41.390 --> 00:09:43.650
It's a mixed ration. Some call them,
146
00:09:44.030 --> 00:09:48.050
hot feeds, cold feeds. Well, these feeds are are basically designed
147
00:09:48.625 --> 00:09:52.565
to fatten up cattle so they can get the most money that they can.
148
00:09:53.105 --> 00:09:56.565
Who's making that money? The processing centers, not the ranchers.
149
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.700
The ranchers are basically out of the picture at that point in time.
150
00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:04.459
These processing centers are the the bottleneck
151
00:10:05.055 --> 00:10:13.795
to good nutrition, to healthy cows, and to healthy meat in the United States. This had nothing to do with any nefarious thing on the ranchers part
152
00:10:14.390 --> 00:10:18.650
or basically through the government. This was not a coordinated attack.
153
00:10:19.270 --> 00:10:24.695
These, these cattle that died, there was 10,000 of them. And what it was is about $20,000,000
154
00:10:25.154 --> 00:10:27.415
in losses. That's insane. It is.
155
00:10:27.955 --> 00:10:32.370
And if you look at the the capacity of of that those numbers,
156
00:10:32.910 --> 00:10:38.690
you can kind of tell that, you know, factory farming is an issue in the United States. Why is it an issue?
157
00:10:39.035 --> 00:10:45.375
Well, because the processing centers and the packers, which are basically the same thing, have been manipulating
158
00:10:45.915 --> 00:10:46.975
and destroying
159
00:10:47.900 --> 00:10:52.480
the American rancher the last, of course, decade, but even beyond that.
160
00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:56.160
So let's go through what happened that day. It was 72 degrees.
161
00:10:56.845 --> 00:10:59.504
When you have that many fat cattle, they need shade,
162
00:10:59.805 --> 00:11:03.105
they need water, well, with that type of temperature change.
163
00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:13.160
These like I said, these cattle are one step away from death anyways. Right. So they're barely making it. And whenever you get cattle together, cattle have to cool off
164
00:11:13.685 --> 00:11:20.745
overnight. Usually, that's what they do. And then they'll they'll get heated back up. Well, they never had a chance to cool off from the day before.
165
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:25.580
So for over 30 6, 48 hours, it was over a 106 degrees.
166
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.365
And so whenever you get cattle that are basically pinned up and going into harvest,
167
00:11:31.825 --> 00:11:36.964
you know, they're rubbing bellies. They're they're they're so close to each other that they're just overheating.
168
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:45.899
Right. When a cow that is a fat cattle, they're close to metabolically failure already. Right? Just like an obese person would be.
169
00:11:46.355 --> 00:11:54.935
And I look at these cattle as a reflection of our society as a whole right now as far as our health. These cattle, basically,
170
00:11:55.839 --> 00:11:58.580
if they're not being farmed, harvested,
171
00:11:59.040 --> 00:11:59.440
and,
172
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.020
and basically put on the market
173
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:03.779
as American beef
174
00:12:04.795 --> 00:12:09.935
in in the way that they are having to do right now in the United States. None of this ever happens.
175
00:12:10.555 --> 00:12:15.110
That's out of the control of the rancher right now. You know why that's out of control of the rancher?
176
00:12:15.410 --> 00:12:18.870
Because of processing plants? Because of our consumer demand.
177
00:12:19.330 --> 00:12:19.830
Right.
178
00:12:20.425 --> 00:12:23.085
We it comes down to our consumer demand
179
00:12:23.465 --> 00:12:26.045
being changed in a way that we're not
180
00:12:26.505 --> 00:12:28.445
propping up these processing centers
181
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.980
because all they're doing is manipulating
182
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.860
a system that is corrupt.
183
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.860
Tucker Carlson
184
00:12:36.319 --> 00:12:39.775
had a interview with 1 of the ranchers that was involved with this,
185
00:12:40.155 --> 00:12:46.175
and it was about a 15 minute interview. And what that rancher was really trying to say, and that I don't think people are understanding,
186
00:12:46.940 --> 00:12:47.680
is that
187
00:12:48.540 --> 00:12:54.880
they're being driven out of business. Our cattle industry in the United States is slowly being chipped away at
188
00:12:55.215 --> 00:13:00.675
in a way that the consumer does not understand. They don't do not understand this because of complacency
189
00:13:01.055 --> 00:13:01.795
and convenience.
190
00:13:02.490 --> 00:13:09.230
And so our consumer demand has to change as citizens in the United States. We need to demand better.
191
00:13:09.585 --> 00:13:19.840
We don't need to be looking at these ranchers and say the ranchers have done anything wrong. They're doing exactly what they know how to do under the, basically the apparatus that has been designed
192
00:13:20.380 --> 00:13:24.320
by the chemical companies and the processing centers. They're playing the game that's
193
00:13:24.925 --> 00:13:32.625
that's presented to them. They have to. Yeah. And they they have to basically play in a technology use agreement. They have to sign contracts.
194
00:13:32.970 --> 00:13:36.350
They have to, cater to the USDA insurance policy.
195
00:13:36.730 --> 00:13:44.655
You know, I've I've always been at the last couple years. I ask a lot of people. I said, where do you think the value of the cow is? This is a good example.
196
00:13:45.115 --> 00:13:51.030
Those 10,000 cattle that died, the value of those cow now turned into the USDA insurance policy.
197
00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:56.770
Right. Those ranchers are gonna get paid, you know, because the cost cost Do they get the full 20 mil? Or
198
00:13:57.475 --> 00:14:01.095
Well, they won't get the full amount. No. Most of most of that
199
00:14:01.955 --> 00:14:08.480
this will go deeper as time passes, but a lot of that will probably be given to the processing centers,
200
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.560
not to the ranchers themselves.
201
00:14:11.420 --> 00:14:12.639
Let's say, like, JBS
202
00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:14.524
this last year was fined
203
00:14:14.904 --> 00:14:15.404
$56,000,000
204
00:14:15.785 --> 00:14:17.885
for price manipulation during COVID.
205
00:14:18.425 --> 00:14:20.685
Well, what the government, you know, and the current
206
00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:24.029
$56,000,000
207
00:14:24.810 --> 00:14:29.965
is a small little slap in the face to JBS, but JBS ended up making over
208
00:14:30.765 --> 00:14:35.345
$500,000,000 worth of profit during COVID because of that same type of price manipulation.
209
00:14:36.205 --> 00:14:39.825
So what what is what is the intention of the processing centers?
210
00:14:40.190 --> 00:14:44.050
Is to get a big fat cow that's almost metabolically
211
00:14:44.430 --> 00:14:44.930
dead,
212
00:14:45.390 --> 00:14:47.650
right before they do harvest that cow.
213
00:14:48.195 --> 00:14:52.295
214
00:14:53.235 --> 00:14:54.215
you have 10,000
215
00:14:54.755 --> 00:14:55.255
1010,000
216
00:14:55.875 --> 00:14:57.335
cows die. Mhmm.
217
00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:00.480
Roughly $20,000,000
218
00:15:00.940 --> 00:15:02.240
worth of value. Yes.
219
00:15:03.180 --> 00:15:04.480
The pictures we see
220
00:15:05.065 --> 00:15:11.485
aren't where they died. They they get they get put in place. They're insurance photos. Right? Yeah. They're insurance photos.
221
00:15:12.105 --> 00:15:21.779
So when you see those pictures of all the all the cows with their feet up, like, all next to each other, it looks like a mass grave. Right. That's an insurance photo for USDA.
222
00:15:22.464 --> 00:15:27.524
And then so then the farmer, the ranchers is submitting those photos,
223
00:15:28.305 --> 00:15:30.725
and I assume there's some kind of inspection or something.
224
00:15:31.319 --> 00:15:35.899
Mhmm. So that there's no there's no foul play involved or something like that. They submit that to the USDA.
225
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:37.980
Mhmm. And then the USDA
226
00:15:39.045 --> 00:15:40.265
is doing a payout,
227
00:15:41.605 --> 00:15:56.425
228
00:15:57.045 --> 00:15:58.504
That gets pretty in-depth
229
00:15:58.884 --> 00:16:02.824
as far as who actually ends up getting that money. But if you look at history,
230
00:16:03.750 --> 00:16:05.290
the, that the 56,000,000
231
00:16:05.670 --> 00:16:25.380
that JBS was, fine, none of that went to the ranchers. Right. And so, you know But that's different. That was a fine. That's not the insurance payout. But you can kinda probably merit the same thing as a insurance payout. You know, the ranchers are probably gonna be breaking even on that cow. So, like, what's your what what what would your gut say on that that payout? Like, what does that look like? Is it, like, a 5050?
232
00:16:25.760 --> 00:16:26.900
233
00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:39.385
234
00:16:39.750 --> 00:16:44.649
That's all this is anymore. That's all ranching is anymore. The ranchers are poor these days.
235
00:16:45.110 --> 00:16:46.329
They've lost over $200,000,000
236
00:16:47.605 --> 00:16:54.345
out of the the industry itself in the last decade. And that's what the rancher was trying to say on Tucker Carlson saying,
237
00:16:55.020 --> 00:17:03.360
we're losing a major percentage of the American ranchers. We're losing our heritage. We're losing access to be able to provide you, the consumer,
238
00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:04.480
basically,
239
00:17:04.925 --> 00:17:08.865
cattle that's not metabolically already dead before they go into harvest.
240
00:17:09.165 --> 00:17:13.905
That's the big message here that nobody's understanding. They're thinking that these cows got killed by lasers.
241
00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:19.669
242
00:17:20.210 --> 00:17:37.740
243
00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:39.340
And so that cycle,
244
00:17:39.645 --> 00:17:42.304
it it takes maybe taking a step back
245
00:17:42.605 --> 00:17:44.145
and looking at basically
246
00:17:44.605 --> 00:17:49.265
247
00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:53.480
so, I mean, dispatch, this show is primarily focused on Bitcoin
248
00:17:53.860 --> 00:18:00.515
and Freedom Tech. It's mostly a tech show. Right. I think all everything is all very interconnected. I mean, obviously,
249
00:18:02.335 --> 00:18:05.315
when I first conceived of the show, the idea was, you know,
250
00:18:05.934 --> 00:18:06.434
broadcast
251
00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:10.559
from from my citadel to your citadel or whatever. So it it could really
252
00:18:10.940 --> 00:18:13.180
I I I like to think that this this,
253
00:18:13.835 --> 00:18:17.455
this format is is broader than just tech,
254
00:18:19.435 --> 00:18:23.215
because all of this is relevant. Obviously, we need to feed ourselves. This is all sovereign.
255
00:18:23.530 --> 00:18:26.830
It's all part of the sovereign stack. Right. I think it's interesting
256
00:18:27.370 --> 00:18:28.510
that you mentioned
257
00:18:29.610 --> 00:18:30.670
consumer demand
258
00:18:31.525 --> 00:18:36.825
basically being the source of all of this. Like, the everything else is a symptom of
259
00:18:37.125 --> 00:18:44.090
what consumers are going out and basically voting with their wallet. Mhmm. And you mentioned this thing, convenience. It comes down to convenience.
260
00:18:45.669 --> 00:18:53.855
And that's what we see when all the tech conversations we have about privacy, about sovereignty. It's always a convenience versus sovereignty trade off. It's always a convenience versus
261
00:18:54.315 --> 00:18:58.330
privacy trade off, and it's the same exact case here. Right? It is. It really
262
00:18:58.870 --> 00:19:18.610
263
00:19:19.150 --> 00:19:23.650
Well, it's starting to show some cracks in that yearning for that convenience and that complacency.
264
00:19:24.745 --> 00:19:32.445
And if people need to start, you know, this is a tech show. Well, the tech that we're we're looking at within the Bitcoin space,
265
00:19:32.800 --> 00:19:36.580
it touches every aspect of our life. And if we're not starting to look
266
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.260
at the the
267
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:44.975
correlation of tech in our food right now with how we can improve and how we can actually change
268
00:19:45.755 --> 00:19:48.655
our perception of, the value of that convenience
269
00:19:49.115 --> 00:19:50.495
that causes this complacency,
270
00:19:51.340 --> 00:19:56.640
then it takes us a step back. We get into more of a low time preference thinking when it comes to our consumption,
271
00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:00.465
our consumption of food, our consumption of audio, video.
272
00:20:01.005 --> 00:20:02.544
We are able to basically
273
00:20:02.845 --> 00:20:05.184
understand why we desire what we desire.
274
00:20:05.725 --> 00:20:06.785
And within
275
00:20:07.485 --> 00:20:11.890
Bitcoin tech, within the food industry itself, within animal protein,
276
00:20:12.350 --> 00:20:15.490
if we can start really correlating those and how valuable
277
00:20:15.870 --> 00:20:20.145
they are, that symbiotic nature of Bitcoin and food,
278
00:20:20.605 --> 00:20:26.865
then we're gonna understand that we've gone a little too far down this, complacency model and the convenience model.
279
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:27.980
280
00:20:28.520 --> 00:20:29.340
So, I mean,
281
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.020
I think, first of all, freaks, like, if you haven't,
282
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:34.040
listened till,
283
00:20:34.725 --> 00:20:42.880
last week I don't know. When when did we record those ones? For 2 weeks already. Slim was on the road for 2 weeks, and I didn't give you guys a dispatch until he came back.
284
00:20:43.280 --> 00:20:47.780
If you haven't listened to that one, go back and listen to that one because I think we talked a lot about
285
00:20:49.225 --> 00:20:53.485
actionable things that people can do to basically improve that situation. And I think,
286
00:20:55.225 --> 00:20:59.740
there's, I mean, there's a there's a ton of parallels with other things we we discuss on dispatch,
287
00:21:00.600 --> 00:21:04.220
but the big one of the big ones for me that I always try and harp on is
288
00:21:04.764 --> 00:21:08.384
is don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Small improvements do help,
289
00:21:09.485 --> 00:21:16.340
and this wouldn't be a conversation with Slim if we didn't say shaker rancher's hand. So those are the the 2 main takeaways.
290
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:22.580
So, I mean, let's let's transition a little bit to more positive topics. Sure.
291
00:21:23.515 --> 00:21:24.415
So yesterday,
292
00:21:25.355 --> 00:21:34.980
293
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.140
strong partnership with Cole.
294
00:21:37.760 --> 00:21:43.785
He was one of the first ranchers, top 3 ranchers that I reached out to. And we've developed a really good business model.
295
00:21:44.245 --> 00:21:45.625
And we've known for a while
296
00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:50.880
what Cole's plans were for the future. Well, yesterday, he came out and announced that,
297
00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:58.705
his processing center down there in Luling, Texas, south of Austin, will be opening up within the, you know, next 60 days.
298
00:21:59.885 --> 00:22:13.559
What does that mean? What does that mean for Bitcoiners? What does that mean for people wanting true market access to healthy cattle that aren't metabolically bankrupt? Well, it's a regenerative model. In the last dispatch, we talked about the vertical integration
299
00:22:14.405 --> 00:22:15.865
back into, you know,
300
00:22:16.325 --> 00:22:18.905
into cattle itself, into beef and everything.
301
00:22:19.365 --> 00:22:20.905
Well, this is basically
302
00:22:21.445 --> 00:22:23.785
the first major step that
303
00:22:24.309 --> 00:22:25.610
we are able to,
304
00:22:25.990 --> 00:22:26.490
take
305
00:22:27.030 --> 00:22:27.929
moving forward.
306
00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:30.730
We're about to up our volume about
307
00:22:31.030 --> 00:22:31.530
tenfold.
308
00:22:32.435 --> 00:22:36.375
We're in control of the the soil, the grass, the cow, the producer,
309
00:22:36.755 --> 00:22:37.895
and now the processor.
310
00:22:38.275 --> 00:22:42.020
We don't have to be under the umbrella or the thumbprint
311
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.620
of the processing centers or the chemical companies.
312
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.500
The processing center is a clean facility,
313
00:22:49.025 --> 00:22:49.925
0 chemicals,
314
00:22:50.545 --> 00:22:51.205
the cattle,
315
00:22:51.745 --> 00:22:52.565
0 chemicals,
316
00:22:53.265 --> 00:22:54.965
0 GMO grains,
317
00:22:55.425 --> 00:22:57.750
0 anything 0, you know,
318
00:22:58.070 --> 00:23:09.054
steroids, all the type of stuff that you hear that get injected in these cattle. So what we've done is we have a working model now that we can start feeding the nation again within the beef initiative.
319
00:23:09.835 --> 00:23:13.695
And it's by developing this strong relationship with Cole
320
00:23:14.075 --> 00:23:18.090
that he's he was a small regenerative farmer and rancher down in Texas.
321
00:23:18.549 --> 00:23:22.010
Well, we're about to step it up, and we're about to basically
322
00:23:22.654 --> 00:23:26.434
change the game in ways that I don't think that people understand.
323
00:23:26.894 --> 00:23:30.595
But one thing that they they can understand is
324
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.100
the lifestyle that you can have.
325
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:42.265
You don't have to worry about those cattle that are dying. You don't have to worry about that saran wrap beef in your supermarket anymore. If you're gonna be intentional
326
00:23:42.565 --> 00:23:44.585
about your consumption within beef,
327
00:23:44.965 --> 00:23:51.429
there's a vertical integration that we can do on our own. You can you can pay in Fiat. You can pay in Bitcoin.
328
00:23:51.890 --> 00:23:57.809
329
00:23:59.715 --> 00:24:03.255
I mean, from my I've just kind of dove into this world headfirst.
330
00:24:04.755 --> 00:24:11.159
Like the processing center is the major bottleneck. It is That's been the the major issue, and it's a big hurdle to actually
331
00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:17.240
have your own processing center. Right? You have to go through all these different regulatory bodies. Mhmm. There's a lot of upfront cost.
332
00:24:17.585 --> 00:24:21.525
So now you have, like, basically, a parallel a parallel channel that,
333
00:24:23.425 --> 00:24:26.380
ideologically aligned folks control. Yeah.
334
00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:28.540
The
335
00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:35.440
so, I mean, now let's go back to the those the recent cattle deaths, these these 10,000 cows that died.
336
00:24:37.345 --> 00:24:37.845
Does
337
00:24:38.145 --> 00:24:38.965
the processes
338
00:24:39.424 --> 00:24:39.924
that
339
00:24:40.465 --> 00:24:42.804
this plant is going to be doing
340
00:24:43.610 --> 00:24:57.135
avoid that fate? Like, are you still gonna have fat cows rubbing against each other that are like zombie cows that are about to die? No, never. These cows are basically brought off the grass, and they go to harvest. They're stress free.
341
00:24:57.755 --> 00:25:01.534
342
00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:09.840
If a cow gets stressed right up until harvest Right. You know, it releases all kinds of stressors throughout the muscle tissue, throughout the flesh itself.
343
00:25:10.294 --> 00:25:15.034
And so that beef is gonna be kind of destroyed. And that's why that's something people don't understand
344
00:25:15.575 --> 00:25:20.870
in the regenerative movement and especially with the processing center that, you know, Cole is kind of pioneer
345
00:25:21.170 --> 00:25:22.470
pioneering forward with
346
00:25:23.010 --> 00:25:33.495
those cows. If they get stressed during, right before they get harvest, they just get taken out. They get to live another day. You know, it's a streamlined process that is stress free,
347
00:25:34.115 --> 00:25:36.450
and and they're not going to be in 110
348
00:25:36.909 --> 00:25:47.634
degree heat, 106 degree heat for 24 hours. No. They're going to be they're going to be shaded. They're going to they're going to have plenty of water. They're not gonna be running, rubbing belly to belly.
349
00:25:48.014 --> 00:25:50.754
That's not that's that high volume. Let's look at that
350
00:25:51.695 --> 00:25:53.475
10,000 cattle. We process
351
00:25:54.049 --> 00:25:54.549
600,000
352
00:25:55.169 --> 00:25:56.389
cattle a month
353
00:25:56.690 --> 00:25:57.909
in the United States.
354
00:25:58.370 --> 00:26:01.909
Okay. The micro processing, the micro avatar
355
00:26:02.485 --> 00:26:05.225
that we're moving forward with in the beef initiative,
356
00:26:06.164 --> 00:26:13.700
we're not even competing with those guys. What we're doing is we're doing something that's very inclusive and exclusive for the intentional consumer,
357
00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:23.965
somebody that wants to be educated, somebody that wants to know exactly where their protein's coming from. And they want to make sure that those cattle are are raised
358
00:26:24.424 --> 00:26:27.405
and then harvested in a very, very humane way.
359
00:26:27.870 --> 00:26:35.170
The type of cattle that, you know, Cole Bolton, Jason Rick, Justin Tramm, all the different ranchers we have, they have some of the best lives
360
00:26:35.515 --> 00:26:37.615
that you could ever hope for for a cattle.
361
00:26:37.995 --> 00:26:50.010
They're not rushed into a processing center because that kill date is set by a processing center saying, when that cow's a calf, you have to process it on August 1st, 18 months away from here.
362
00:26:50.790 --> 00:26:56.325
Where's the intention of that? Well Right. As a rancher, you lose all of that basically
363
00:26:56.945 --> 00:27:07.570
sovereignty of being a rancher, and all you're doing is the the means to an end is to hit that date. You don't know if that cow's gonna be ready for that harvest, but you have to harvest it so you can turn that
364
00:27:08.029 --> 00:27:09.970
small margin back into it.
365
00:27:10.284 --> 00:27:16.225
So with what Cole is doing, he's taken away all the power of these major processing centers.
366
00:27:16.684 --> 00:27:20.930
And by doing that, guess what? We can change our consumer demand
367
00:27:21.470 --> 00:27:23.410
into this model in which cobaltness
368
00:27:23.870 --> 00:27:25.090
is basically pioneering.
369
00:27:26.145 --> 00:27:34.730
370
00:27:37.049 --> 00:27:42.429
371
00:27:43.035 --> 00:27:44.255
With the distractions,
372
00:27:44.555 --> 00:27:45.855
with the with the conspiracies.
373
00:27:46.795 --> 00:27:51.910
374
00:27:52.370 --> 00:27:59.905
375
00:28:00.365 --> 00:28:04.145
And we, as a consumer, are okay with it because lack of education,
376
00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.960
some complacency
377
00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.960
in the yearning for convenience.
378
00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:12.120
Right. We don't have to basically play that game anymore.
379
00:28:12.434 --> 00:28:13.495
So if you're really,
380
00:28:13.875 --> 00:28:25.650
you know, focused and it does matter to you, then you can say, I'm not going to pay attention anymore. I'm gonna go ahead and develop my own market access. I'm gonna become my own food supply chain line.
381
00:28:25.950 --> 00:28:28.130
I'm gonna develop my own food security
382
00:28:28.485 --> 00:28:32.424
by going to this vertical integration, in which what we've done in the Beef Initiative.
383
00:28:33.605 --> 00:28:37.945
Correct, yeah. And what you hear though, on a lot of things, and a lot of people look at this.
384
00:28:38.630 --> 00:28:46.409
See, the the processing centers, they control market access. Right? What does that mean? Okay. A processing center is also the packager.
385
00:28:47.195 --> 00:28:52.575
Okay? They package. Okay? So after the cows process, they package that beef.
386
00:28:52.955 --> 00:28:58.190
Well, that beef and that distribution of that beef is controlled by the processing centers.
387
00:28:58.490 --> 00:29:00.909
They are the distribution model as well.
388
00:29:01.285 --> 00:29:08.665
So they're the ones that have all the contracts with the major supermarkets and everything from the Walmart's to the Krogers to the HEBs of the world.
389
00:29:09.170 --> 00:29:12.870
And whenever they have the control of that market access to those,
390
00:29:13.570 --> 00:29:15.030
those coolers in the supermarkets,
391
00:29:15.890 --> 00:29:18.525
the small independent rancher does have no access
392
00:29:28.590 --> 00:29:38.035
We went out shaking their hand in person, or we've shaken their hand digitally through the beef initiative. Right. And once people can start thinking like that,
393
00:29:38.415 --> 00:29:40.355
they see a shift in their lifestyle,
394
00:29:40.895 --> 00:29:46.140
and they start understanding food intelligence a little bit more than I started off with in the very beginning.
395
00:29:47.160 --> 00:30:00.235
396
00:30:00.615 --> 00:30:07.430
You have like a proper circular economy. Yep. And, and you have a processor that is pro rancher processor, basically.
397
00:30:07.810 --> 00:30:13.155
398
00:30:13.955 --> 00:30:15.655
399
00:30:16.435 --> 00:30:19.175
I mean, at least in the Bitcoin world, you try and look for
400
00:30:20.570 --> 00:30:22.350
at least, an attempt at decentralization.
401
00:30:24.010 --> 00:30:24.990
In this case,
402
00:30:26.410 --> 00:30:27.230
that's almost
403
00:30:27.610 --> 00:30:33.235
not it's like, pure decentralization is not really possible because you need the processing center. Mhmm.
404
00:30:33.775 --> 00:30:41.020
So the alternative is, like, okay. So we'll do a vertical integration that is parallel to the current system that ideally has better incentives.
405
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:48.335
406
00:30:48.715 --> 00:30:49.695
Right. The representatives,
407
00:30:49.995 --> 00:30:54.175
the congress, the senate, and everything, but let's go back to JBS real quick.
408
00:30:54.810 --> 00:30:57.530
JBS, you know, the fines and everything. Well, their their,
409
00:30:57.930 --> 00:31:00.430
founder of JBS is they're in Brazil.
410
00:31:00.890 --> 00:31:04.030
Well, he went to prison for 2 years for bribing the Brazilian
411
00:31:04.975 --> 00:31:12.115
presidency. Right? Right. Well, that same bribing team, as I like to call it, were also caught bribing in the United States.
412
00:31:12.730 --> 00:31:21.630
All of that always gets covered up. All of it gets swept under the rug, and the general public never gets to hearing that information. Well, that's the damn case.
413
00:31:22.044 --> 00:31:28.784
Well, you gotta go play that game. We're playing a different game over here, and we're following the law better than the law falls it follows itself,
414
00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:30.520
And we are setting precedents
415
00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:33.240
that is driven by a new consumer demand.
416
00:31:33.860 --> 00:31:36.280
And if we can take that sovereign responsibility
417
00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:37.400
as consumers
418
00:31:37.985 --> 00:31:42.005
and people that are educated and want the best health that we can get,
419
00:31:42.385 --> 00:31:46.965
then we do create that parallel colony, parallel food sourcing,
420
00:31:47.450 --> 00:31:47.950
that
421
00:31:48.250 --> 00:31:53.690
once again, that our grandparents, that that's how we got here. Makes sense to me. Huge shout out to Cole for
422
00:31:54.554 --> 00:31:55.375
Yeah. Congratulations.
423
00:31:55.835 --> 00:31:59.054
424
00:31:59.355 --> 00:32:01.615
massive undertaking. It really is.
425
00:32:02.950 --> 00:32:13.205
What did you say? Like, it's it's gonna process what 1200 cattle how often? That'll be about 1200 cattle starting off. That's Per year? Is that a per year number? But,
426
00:32:14.544 --> 00:32:22.710
427
00:32:23.250 --> 00:32:23.890
with that,
428
00:32:24.450 --> 00:32:28.309
with the numbers game. It's not a numbers game. It's a quality game now,
429
00:32:28.925 --> 00:32:31.025
and that's where we're changing the perception.
430
00:32:31.405 --> 00:32:33.425
It's like it doesn't have to be 600,000
431
00:32:33.965 --> 00:32:39.380
cattle a month in the United States. What it has to be has to be a quality game that's intentional
432
00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:41.300
to where we don't have to play that
433
00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:46.100
numbers game anymore. We're bringing quality back into our beef.
434
00:32:46.895 --> 00:32:47.794
435
00:32:48.414 --> 00:32:50.434
Freaks, I hear you in the live chat.
436
00:32:51.375 --> 00:32:56.274
First of all, I know that the matrix chat is not up on the screen. I do have the Twitch chat up on the screen,
437
00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:58.419
which is different than usual.
438
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:05.460
I have to, like, figure out how I'm gonna display the matrix chat and the video at the same time. We're kinda just winging it.
439
00:33:06.215 --> 00:33:17.910
I also hear you that the camera you don't like how the camera is aligned. Well, I don't have a producer. I literally have this, like, thing over here that I'm controlling the sound. I have a camera over here that I plugged in ahead of time.
440
00:33:18.370 --> 00:33:22.790
So I will take that feedback going forward. If you do wanna see dispatch have a producer
441
00:33:24.404 --> 00:33:28.505
and better cameras, you know, feel free to support the show. It is appreciated.
442
00:33:29.684 --> 00:33:34.105
But we will be iterating on this and and slowly improving. So I I I
443
00:33:34.470 --> 00:33:37.290
thank you for for standing with me,
444
00:33:37.990 --> 00:33:38.810
as this,
445
00:33:39.350 --> 00:33:41.690
show slowly and steadily improves,
446
00:33:43.135 --> 00:33:45.715
but it will be it will be a little bit of a process.
447
00:33:46.655 --> 00:33:48.895
And huge thanks to Slim for being here,
448
00:33:49.350 --> 00:33:52.810
for that process as well. I hope the audio quality is fantastic. I think
449
00:33:53.190 --> 00:33:57.725
we've improved that tremendously, which is, to me, was the lowest hanging fruit. So,
450
00:33:59.164 --> 00:34:10.900
451
00:34:11.520 --> 00:34:14.099
conference. That's July 22nd 24th.
452
00:34:15.795 --> 00:34:23.175
So it's it's basically exactly a month from now? Exactly a month. And it's a 3 day conference. It's Friday afternoon, Saturday day, and Sunday.
453
00:34:24.070 --> 00:34:26.410
There's gonna be options in there moving forward,
454
00:34:26.950 --> 00:34:31.130
different days that you might be able to attend because we know it's a destination spot.
455
00:34:31.655 --> 00:34:36.234
This this is kinda how I I work. These conferences, I don't want them to be convenient.
456
00:34:36.695 --> 00:34:52.675
Right? You gotta show some proof of work. Hell, yeah. I mean, this is what this is about. I I've told everybody from the very beginning, this is a lifestyle change. So where is it in Colorado? It's in the Norfolk Valley of Colorado. Vehicles get there, or do you have to ride a horse? No. You you you well, you can bring your horse if you want. But
457
00:34:53.375 --> 00:34:54.675
what it is, it's
458
00:34:55.020 --> 00:34:57.200
it's in the Norfolk Valley. It's it's,
459
00:34:57.740 --> 00:35:00.880
Crawford, Colorado, Peonia, Colorado, Hotchkiss.
460
00:35:01.660 --> 00:35:07.785
It's, out by Needle Rock. It it's a beautiful part of the country that a lot of people don't get to see a lot.
461
00:35:08.245 --> 00:35:14.799
You know, Jason Rick of Rick Ranches. He he basically his small smaller ranch is 400 acres right there.
462
00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:25.445
But also what he's doing, he he's small 400 acre ranch. Yeah. Small 4 acre ranch. I would love a small 400 acre. Wouldn't we all? Right? That's what I've been looking for out in Tennessee.
463
00:35:27.425 --> 00:35:31.045
But what he does, he takes care and he stewards 4,000 acres.
464
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:42.815
And so that whole valley, he's got cattle all over that valley. That's awesome. And it's absolutely beautiful. And if you go to the website, of course, beefinish .com, you'll see a picture that we're we're using for that conference.
465
00:35:43.115 --> 00:35:44.655
That's his daily life.
466
00:35:45.194 --> 00:35:45.934
And so
467
00:35:46.395 --> 00:35:50.790
Is that the one with the horse butts? Yeah. Yeah. I love that picture. Yeah. It's it's awesome.
468
00:35:51.170 --> 00:36:02.215
And then he's got needle rock there too. So is that so so it's gonna be held at his ranch. Is that the plan? Yeah. It's it's it's definitely interactive hands on regenerative farming and ranching education.
469
00:36:02.515 --> 00:36:07.720
That's awesome. We're gonna have Jason Rick of Rick Ranches. We're gonna have Weldon,
470
00:36:08.660 --> 00:36:09.160
Warren.
471
00:36:09.620 --> 00:36:15.800
He's out of holy cow. He's out of Lubbock, Texas outside of Lubbock, Texas, West Texas, kinda where I come from.
472
00:36:16.325 --> 00:36:31.130
Weldon's been doing a lot what Will Harris has been doing the last 20 years, and he's been doing it in the desert high plains as far as regenerative farming and ranching. I mean, you wanna talk about proof of work and changing his life because his family kinda suffered from metabolical
473
00:36:31.830 --> 00:36:36.975
health problems, and then he went deep down into the soil and started really understanding
474
00:36:37.675 --> 00:36:41.375
how to steward animals to improve his health.
475
00:36:41.970 --> 00:36:50.290
And so he's he's highly successful. Him and his wife, Anne Warren, have been doing this, like I said, for 20 years. And then we've got, Scott Hawk of,
476
00:36:51.085 --> 00:36:54.865
Colorado as well. He's a 1st generational regenerative farmer and rancher,
477
00:36:55.405 --> 00:37:02.960
and, Sacred Songs Farms. They're on, Twitter. You can look him up. Scott's gonna be speaking there. We're gonna have Katie the Russian,
478
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:04.640
Amy a k 40
479
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:06.580
8 a k 47.
480
00:37:07.085 --> 00:37:09.105
They're gonna be talking about, you know,
481
00:37:09.964 --> 00:37:10.464
nutrition,
482
00:37:10.845 --> 00:37:14.384
their cotton newborns. They're gonna be talking about unschooling.
483
00:37:14.850 --> 00:37:21.670
We're gonna have a lot of I hate the term unschooling. That's what the people keep telling me though. It's like unschooling. What would you call it?
484
00:37:22.025 --> 00:37:23.244
485
00:37:23.865 --> 00:37:25.325
I don't know. I mean, I like,
486
00:37:26.424 --> 00:37:46.670
rescaling. I don't know what it is. What we can come up with a term. Like, a more positive term. I don't Yeah. Usually, when the term is the reverse of something Mhmm. It's like it's, you know, it's it's a response. It's not an active an active thing. Because it's something that I with my future children, that's what I wanna do. Like, I don't wanna put them through the traditional school system. Sure.
487
00:37:47.230 --> 00:37:52.369
But, also, I don't wanna call it unschooling. Like, I feel like that's Yeah. I really to the movement. I like that.
488
00:37:53.150 --> 00:38:18.684
489
00:38:20.525 --> 00:38:27.680
but you if you look at, you know, the so is there gonna be any Bitcoin content? Or is it Yes. We're gonna have, buying the in there. We have
490
00:38:28.060 --> 00:38:29.440
491
00:38:29.900 --> 00:38:31.120
492
00:38:31.660 --> 00:38:40.395
We're gonna I love that dude. He's he's freaking top notch, man. Me and Econo have been talking for about a year now. Shout out to Eco. Yeah. Eco. He's got a wonderful family.
493
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:50.705
Real family. And he lives out there in Colorado, man. It's in his you know, I don't know exactly where he lives. I don't wanna docks his location, but, you know, he's doing it right. I mean, he's really creating that lifestyle.
494
00:38:51.245 --> 00:38:52.125
We're gonna have,
495
00:38:52.525 --> 00:39:06.210
mining talk, we're gonna have privacy talk of Bitcoin, we're gonna have, you know, education of the rancher, basically, and the rancher educating us, and we're not gonna use cow pilling. So We're ranch pilling. Yes. We're ranch pilling. And,
496
00:39:06.849 --> 00:39:09.795
what we're gonna end up people are gonna start seeing
497
00:39:10.255 --> 00:39:16.755
is that this you brought it up 2 weeks ago about how all of this is kind of balanced out as far as the rancher
498
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:25.225
really ranch filling us. It's true value for value. It really is. Neighbors helping neighbors. It's it's so balanced that it once
499
00:39:25.545 --> 00:39:27.645
both sides of this coin start talking,
500
00:39:28.105 --> 00:39:33.085
it just flows. And that's what these conferences do. We're gonna have tons of Bitcoin education,
501
00:39:33.569 --> 00:39:35.109
tons of soil education,
502
00:39:35.569 --> 00:39:45.664
people wanna get into regenerative farming and ranching, you will leave that conference and you'll have a call to action, you'll have a game plan. And you're gonna meet people that are being successful right now,
503
00:39:45.964 --> 00:39:51.744
from the last 20 years to the last 7 years to the last couple of years. So you'll see that roadmap,
504
00:39:52.369 --> 00:39:55.670
anything that you want to learn at that conference, because it's gonna be very interactive.
505
00:39:56.450 --> 00:40:02.664
And you're gonna be able to see the valley we're gonna have, we're every day we're cooking everything from Rick Ranch's
506
00:40:03.365 --> 00:40:08.025
all the food we're gonna have gourmet caveman look him up on Twitter. It's gourmet caveman.
507
00:40:08.710 --> 00:40:19.025
He's got a brand or a person? It's a person. That's Michael. Awesome. Great great name. It is. And he is top notch, man. He he's, like, 5 star, but he focuses on fire
508
00:40:19.484 --> 00:40:27.630
and beef now. So, I mean, whenever I was in Tennessee, I was up in 10 Mile. I stopped off at Charles Mayfield's place with Farrell,
509
00:40:28.170 --> 00:40:33.630
the skin product that he's making out of large. Right. So we had a big cook out there and, out there in 10 mile.
510
00:40:35.065 --> 00:40:36.765
He's excited. I mean,
511
00:40:37.065 --> 00:40:47.260
how he approaches, you know, preparing and, you know, he's going to be showing off a lot of different recipes, how to prepare beef. So we're bringing all this education into one spot there in Colorado.
512
00:40:48.520 --> 00:40:51.580
It's a destination spot. It's like a big family gathering.
513
00:40:51.960 --> 00:41:21.810
We have camping sites that you can use that we've already reserved. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. So you wanna camp out. I mean, I think Katie and, Amy, they were talking about getting a RV in Denver, flying into Denver, renting a RV, and then staying at the campsite in their RV. So And with the drive to Denver there is, like, 2a half? Is it? 2a half. Yeah. It's not horrible. No. It's it's it's you go over the mountain range. Right. You know? And, it's not that difficult. Very pretty drive, I presume. Oh, yeah. I mean Colorado is one of the most beautiful states in the country.
514
00:41:22.110 --> 00:41:29.705
Why wouldn't you wanna be there in July? I mean, that's a summer vacation. And if, you know, we look at right now with inflation, you know, with the Bitcoin
515
00:41:30.244 --> 00:41:38.550
volatility, whatever you wanna call it. Yeah. Maybe so. But it's a destination spot that you really should kinda mark on your calendar
516
00:41:39.010 --> 00:41:47.485
because we're not you know, these conferences aren't big. You know? How many people are you expecting? We usually do about a 100 is what I target. What is the capacity?
517
00:41:47.785 --> 00:41:55.050
518
00:41:55.430 --> 00:42:10.875
519
00:42:11.290 --> 00:42:16.750
So there's tons of educational information. You know, you wanna buy your beef box. Everything's right there. So
520
00:42:17.050 --> 00:42:18.589
go share it around.
521
00:42:19.115 --> 00:42:36.965
I really like the idea of these small, intimate events. I think, there's a lot of momentum to them right now. I think so. I think, you know, moving forward, we're gonna have more of these conferences. We're gonna try to have 4 total. I've definitely 3 on the books that we've we've looked at and targeted right now. We're gonna have one at White Oak Pastures Right.
522
00:42:37.365 --> 00:42:40.185
In September in Georgia with Will Harris and everything.
523
00:42:40.485 --> 00:42:43.865
But right now, the the the definite focus is on Colorado
524
00:42:44.970 --> 00:42:46.830
and why I want them more intimate.
525
00:42:47.290 --> 00:42:50.670
Once we get to where the the demand is hitting so high,
526
00:42:50.970 --> 00:42:51.869
we can start
527
00:42:52.250 --> 00:42:53.630
live streaming these
528
00:42:54.045 --> 00:43:00.145
globally and make, everybody understand that the beef initiative is a global event. It's a global movement.
529
00:43:00.525 --> 00:43:02.065
I've got people from Australia,
530
00:43:02.710 --> 00:43:03.529
from Africa,
531
00:43:04.069 --> 00:43:05.930
from Europe, from Asia
532
00:43:06.309 --> 00:43:11.930
coming on board from the Middle East that are reaching out and saying, how can we be part of the be finished?
533
00:43:12.455 --> 00:43:16.875
Once we get to where the signal and this narrative is kind of being spread globally,
534
00:43:17.415 --> 00:43:23.490
let's livestream every one of these to where everybody has access, and they can take away from these events,
535
00:43:24.190 --> 00:43:25.810
something that they can use locally.
536
00:43:26.350 --> 00:43:28.030
537
00:43:28.405 --> 00:43:37.950
with both me and Marty that we like to talk business on air, but I gotta get you a bitcoin tv.com channel still. Yes. Yes. And We gotta make sure that happens. We need to because as I've been on the road, my,
538
00:43:38.670 --> 00:43:55.030
539
00:43:55.330 --> 00:43:58.710
Incentives. It is. We have to be grassroots right now.
540
00:43:59.090 --> 00:44:10.855
And by saying that we're podcasting 2.0. Adam Curry got us all transitioned over. So Right. I love podcasting 2.0. It's it's amazing. Once you get into that and you start making that transformation in,
541
00:44:11.190 --> 00:44:19.450
it, you know, just all the things that you can do. It's just we're we're trying to develop a model that we can kinda give to everybody else, say, hey. This is if you got a podcast,
542
00:44:19.825 --> 00:44:23.605
this is how you use it. This is how you transform into it. That reminds me, actually,
543
00:44:23.985 --> 00:44:25.525
544
00:44:25.825 --> 00:44:30.290
just released an update. We were just talking about incentives that if you listen through Fountain
545
00:44:30.590 --> 00:44:34.450
Yeah. You can actually earn stats as you listen. So not only can you use,
546
00:44:34.990 --> 00:44:41.235
Fountain or Breeze or another podcasting 2.0 app to support the shows you like and support the content you like directly without a middleman,
547
00:44:42.735 --> 00:44:47.235
which truly aligns incentives because instead of working for your sponsors, you're working for your audience.
548
00:44:48.800 --> 00:45:13.530
Those people can also earn by listening, which I think is a very strong incentive and should get a lot more people into the podcasting 2.0 ecosystem to begin with. Yeah. I saw that yesterday. I was reading that big update. Between that and offline listening, because I I'm a big offline podcast guy. Like, I like to have them downloaded on my phone. Or on the road or something. You don't wanna be like, oh, am I you're, like, right in the middle of a good conversation. It just, like, fucking cuts. Yeah.
549
00:45:14.145 --> 00:45:17.825
So, like, the offline listening and this earning stats for listening is,
550
00:45:18.465 --> 00:45:24.480
2 big things. So the boostograms is massive, I think. It's really cool that people can send their support along with a message.
551
00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:26.480
So we have,
552
00:45:27.099 --> 00:45:28.720
we have this question from Discotoshi.
553
00:45:32.225 --> 00:45:33.685
Is there a way to incentivize
554
00:45:34.065 --> 00:45:46.050
commercial meat buyers, I e, major grocery outlets, to not purchase meat through the big four and move towards regenerative farming product. Is changing consumer behavior the only way to get outlets that supply meat and mass to change?
555
00:45:46.415 --> 00:45:52.115
The current supply chain landscape seems like they will always choose quantity over quality because margins trump everything.
556
00:45:53.214 --> 00:46:02.825
557
00:46:06.905 --> 00:46:10.765
Right. That's the only way we're gonna step into this. I mean, you I think you made
558
00:46:11.250 --> 00:46:12.710
559
00:46:13.010 --> 00:46:17.430
560
00:46:17.974 --> 00:46:21.994
grass fed beef ever sold through Whole Foods. So but he's did he circumvent
561
00:46:22.375 --> 00:46:29.640
562
00:46:30.740 --> 00:46:33.160
So I mean, you were talking last night over steaks.
563
00:46:34.485 --> 00:46:50.660
564
00:46:51.725 --> 00:47:02.720
How much garbage is in that? Why do we why do we want to participate in that? Well, especially the Bitcoiners? Why? Why are we even participating in that clown world more when we have other options?
565
00:47:03.100 --> 00:47:06.880
We're pioneering into a different direction. We don't have to ask permission.
566
00:47:07.275 --> 00:47:08.175
We don't have
567
00:47:08.715 --> 00:47:13.775
to be dependent on them saying, yeah. We might give you market access into our shelf space,
568
00:47:14.235 --> 00:47:17.570
into, you know, into our grocery store, our supermarket.
569
00:47:18.350 --> 00:47:21.730
And you look well, I was talking yesterday. When was the supermarket
570
00:47:22.109 --> 00:47:24.690
really ramped up? 1971. 1971.
571
00:47:25.295 --> 00:47:35.200
572
00:47:35.839 --> 00:47:44.420
573
00:47:44.865 --> 00:47:46.565
574
00:47:47.185 --> 00:47:50.485
the last trip or if it was in per just off the record.
575
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:53.420
Basically, like, the degradation
576
00:47:53.720 --> 00:48:00.220
of farmer market culture around the country. Sure. So I guess that goes part partially in it. Right? Like, you circumvent the
577
00:48:00.735 --> 00:48:02.595
the the grocery stores, the supermarkets.
578
00:48:03.375 --> 00:48:05.155
You try and do direct to consumer
579
00:48:05.855 --> 00:48:12.180
as well. Mhmm. You try and partner with places like Bitcoin Park here where we can have, you know, essentially,
580
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:20.095
ranchers come in, sell their product directly to consumers, maybe, like, a once a month type of thing. They come in with their product. People come in to buy it.
581
00:48:21.195 --> 00:48:27.450
But, also, there's there's gotta be that's a component too, like, revitalizing the farmers market. Right? And and getting people
582
00:48:27.830 --> 00:48:34.090
in the rhythm that, like, every week, they're able to just circumvent the the grocery store, and they're able to go directly to local producers.
583
00:48:34.454 --> 00:48:41.755
584
00:48:42.055 --> 00:48:47.220
even know truly where the farmer's market came from. You know, it was on the county square.
585
00:48:47.520 --> 00:48:54.644
Everybody came on the weekend and, you know, they'd grown their small crops or whatever, and they came in and they fed the communities.
586
00:48:55.345 --> 00:49:03.860
Now you go to these farmers markets and basically their craft shows. Yeah. You know, and and it's just it's it's it's interesting because
587
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:07.300
if we don't get back to the understanding
588
00:49:07.925 --> 00:49:11.945
the source of the seed of the farmer's market, then the farmer's markets are useless.
589
00:49:12.565 --> 00:49:20.010
And how do these change? How does it change? How do we transform back into what a true farmer's market is? What is it? It goes back to consumer
590
00:49:20.790 --> 00:49:21.290
demand.
591
00:49:21.910 --> 00:49:23.610
And if we start demanding
592
00:49:24.230 --> 00:49:31.205
every time as Bitcoiners because we have to demand everything that we do these days because people aren't listening or they they're they're uneducated.
593
00:49:31.985 --> 00:49:34.165
But if we start asking the right questions,
594
00:49:35.109 --> 00:49:39.609
then that's how we create this new demand of bringing back a farmer's market,
595
00:49:40.070 --> 00:49:41.849
and we're giving these producers
596
00:49:42.150 --> 00:49:42.650
confidence
597
00:49:43.325 --> 00:49:52.339
to start attending these farmers markets again because we want to use them, and we want them to leverage us, and we want to leverage them because we have that symbiotic
598
00:49:52.720 --> 00:50:05.795
599
00:50:08.040 --> 00:50:14.060
Ideally, find one that is is is maybe already in the right direction. But I guess you go there and you try and support
600
00:50:14.575 --> 00:50:34.005
local producers that seem to be doing the right thing and have conversations and shake their hand. Right? Mhmm. Yeah. That's like, that's probably a very actionable thing that actually would result in in positive positive change, I think. I think it is. But, I mean, you guys have gone to farmers markets around here out. Right. I went to one that was like a half an hour away. Right.
601
00:50:34.385 --> 00:50:39.605
And, I mean, I didn't do, like, intense research, but I was I was I was talking to to
602
00:50:40.040 --> 00:50:45.660
a bunch of farmers there that seemed like they had really good product and that their their hearts were in the right place. Mhmm.
603
00:50:46.895 --> 00:50:54.820
And I imagine like, not only just, you know, purchasing from them, like having a conversation with them is like, oh, we're on the right track. Like, there's people out there that actually still care.
604
00:50:55.220 --> 00:51:04.120
605
00:51:04.580 --> 00:51:14.070
You know, know, I always tell everybody, of course, you go up and you shake their hand. You look at them in the eye, and you ask them, would you educate me and tell me why you do what you do?
606
00:51:14.630 --> 00:51:16.330
And by doing that,
607
00:51:17.270 --> 00:51:21.210
most of these regenerative farmers and ranchers or just ranchers in general,
608
00:51:21.835 --> 00:51:23.775
number 1, that they're educators,
609
00:51:24.555 --> 00:51:26.095
they want people to understand
610
00:51:26.395 --> 00:51:31.809
what they do every day. Once you show them that type of respect, and you ask the right questions,
611
00:51:32.269 --> 00:51:33.329
you're not soliciting
612
00:51:33.630 --> 00:51:34.130
anything.
613
00:51:34.509 --> 00:51:41.515
You're really yearning to be educated on where and why and what the food is that they that that they steward for us.
614
00:51:42.134 --> 00:51:45.275
By showing that type of respect, you're asking the right questions.
615
00:51:45.894 --> 00:51:52.470
And we have to learn to ask the right questions when it comes to our food anymore. We don't ask the right questions.
616
00:51:53.250 --> 00:51:58.045
We're not asking one of those. We're not truly wanting to know why those cattle died.
617
00:51:58.905 --> 00:52:02.205
The reason they died is because the apparatus that they're under.
618
00:52:02.790 --> 00:52:06.330
Okay? Whenever you go into these farmers markets, and you go in there,
619
00:52:06.710 --> 00:52:08.090
and you're somewhat educated,
620
00:52:08.630 --> 00:52:12.250
you understand their pain points as them being producers,
621
00:52:12.694 --> 00:52:15.595
you can really show that respect and start asking the right questions.
622
00:52:15.895 --> 00:52:19.914
If we ask the right questions, we're gonna build a dialogue that transforms
623
00:52:20.214 --> 00:52:21.530
into a new vertical integration and how we look at food. I love it. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense to me.
624
00:52:27.610 --> 00:52:28.110
We're
625
00:52:30.855 --> 00:52:31.655
626
00:52:32.135 --> 00:52:34.555
52 minutes. I was just reading some of this comment.
627
00:52:35.095 --> 00:52:38.795
Yeah. And, I mean, I have I have a rabbit hole recap in an hour and 15.
628
00:52:39.810 --> 00:52:41.350
Also gonna be from the studio.
629
00:52:43.890 --> 00:52:44.390
But,
630
00:52:45.570 --> 00:52:54.214
so is there anything else you wanna discuss before we wrap this up? But you want should we talk a little bit about the the work on the Tennessee beef initiative you've done over the last 2 weeks? Or Yeah.
631
00:52:54.675 --> 00:52:55.895
632
00:52:56.270 --> 00:52:59.569
at the end of May, and here we are. What's today? 23rd,
633
00:52:59.869 --> 00:53:03.089
24th, something like that of June. What's the 23rd? 23rd.
634
00:53:03.445 --> 00:53:04.665
So 24 days,
635
00:53:05.445 --> 00:53:13.329
you know, this this jaunt, overall, it's over 6,000 miles. This jaunt that I just went out on was over 3,000 something miles,
636
00:53:13.950 --> 00:53:16.609
and a lot of people don't understand what I'm doing.
637
00:53:17.150 --> 00:53:18.769
I want everybody to understand
638
00:53:19.309 --> 00:53:20.130
the importance
639
00:53:21.945 --> 00:53:23.325
of getting out of
640
00:53:23.705 --> 00:53:30.845
the interstate mindset. Right. There's a lot of this country that is being stolen out from underneath us in many ways.
641
00:53:31.369 --> 00:53:31.869
Perceptions
642
00:53:32.330 --> 00:53:33.150
is 1.
643
00:53:33.609 --> 00:53:34.990
The amount of opportunity
644
00:53:35.369 --> 00:53:39.950
that's out here in the United States that are people are wanting to have this lifestyle change.
645
00:53:40.625 --> 00:53:45.525
The amount of people that I've seen and talked to on this trip within this tour
646
00:53:46.145 --> 00:53:53.090
is that there's a disconnect going on in this country. We think that we have a lot of access to information right now. We don't.
647
00:53:53.550 --> 00:53:56.930
We're in a small index of a Google index these days.
648
00:53:57.285 --> 00:54:00.265
People have to let that shit go, man. They have to start
649
00:54:00.725 --> 00:54:02.505
looking in a broader sense
650
00:54:03.125 --> 00:54:06.185
of a lifestyle change, and it starts with
651
00:54:06.610 --> 00:54:07.670
creating relationships
652
00:54:08.290 --> 00:54:10.390
with people that are trying to feed us.
653
00:54:11.090 --> 00:54:15.510
If you can make that kind of a yearning for yourself as a strong sovereign individual,
654
00:54:16.224 --> 00:54:23.765
then you're going to get off the damn interstate of this. It does this censorship, the lack of information that we have right now going on.
655
00:54:24.190 --> 00:54:29.730
Once you do something like I've just done, traveling through all these states, all these miles, all the backcountry roads,
656
00:54:30.109 --> 00:54:31.329
you're gonna end up
657
00:54:31.755 --> 00:54:32.575
finding out
658
00:54:33.195 --> 00:54:37.855
that it's not as bad as you think, but there's some alarming things going on as well.
659
00:54:38.450 --> 00:54:40.390
Let's work together as a Bitcoin community.
660
00:54:40.690 --> 00:54:49.535
We're the pioneers here. Nobody else is gonna pioneer through, this, or we need to punch through, and we need to start with lifestyle,
661
00:54:50.154 --> 00:54:51.535
with lead with food,
662
00:54:52.395 --> 00:54:56.890
sound food, and sound money. And that's what if we can do that collectively,
663
00:54:57.590 --> 00:55:00.650
we can create and build this movement into a bigger
664
00:55:01.430 --> 00:55:02.570
signal and narrative
665
00:55:03.195 --> 00:55:04.655
where we are the distraction.
666
00:55:05.355 --> 00:55:07.535
Those 10,000 cattle that died
667
00:55:07.995 --> 00:55:11.375
don't need to be the distraction anymore. We need to become the distraction.
668
00:55:12.680 --> 00:55:13.980
669
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.900
that I just pulled back a ton, but, I mean, that was an interesting comment you made
670
00:55:20.275 --> 00:55:21.815
that people think we have
671
00:55:22.995 --> 00:55:28.750
access to all this information, but we don't. But we we do kinda. There's just there's just so much information.
672
00:55:29.210 --> 00:55:32.910
Mhmm. And then people I guess it's just the human condition. They
673
00:55:33.849 --> 00:55:52.300
they bring themselves into this little bubble. It's like a self selected bubble. It is. And it's you know, that's algorithms. That's, you know, Google itself. I mean, Google's a joke. I mean, it's good for, you know, that's what I hear. There's this element, right, that it's it's it's okay. So we have the world's information at our fingertips. You have the most content available
674
00:55:52.905 --> 00:55:57.085
that anyone has ever had in human history. Mhmm. But at the same time,
675
00:55:57.385 --> 00:56:02.759
the human to human interactions are probably at, like, an all time low. Like, if you go back 30 years
676
00:56:03.200 --> 00:56:11.565
Uh-huh. The amount of people that the amount of the average person, the amount of people they would have a conversation with, like, looking them in the eyes and having a real conversation with,
677
00:56:12.025 --> 00:56:14.445
was probably significantly higher than today
678
00:56:14.984 --> 00:56:15.484
because
679
00:56:16.080 --> 00:56:30.244
680
00:56:30.704 --> 00:56:36.070
And it is something that is rampant, and it's something that people don't wanna admit, And people really
681
00:56:36.530 --> 00:56:48.414
they're having a hard time connecting with each other. And all I can say is, Sal was right. We're talking about handshakes last night. Right? And how truly important that is to have that human contact with each other.
682
00:56:49.035 --> 00:56:53.630
We need to really strive to get back to that. And it it adds value to your life.
683
00:56:54.009 --> 00:57:00.029
It's it's basically the lifestyle that everybody's yearning for. They just don't know that they're yearning for it in this way.
684
00:57:01.335 --> 00:57:02.955
If we can kind of create,
685
00:57:04.055 --> 00:57:04.955
a new pathway
686
00:57:05.335 --> 00:57:07.355
to that interpersonal connection,
687
00:57:07.975 --> 00:57:11.420
then people's lives do get better. Yeah. I mean, I think
688
00:57:14.200 --> 00:57:15.900
689
00:57:17.685 --> 00:57:23.945
And I try and practice what I preach. So, you know, part of the reason why my priorities now are,
690
00:57:24.805 --> 00:57:25.520
you know,
691
00:57:26.160 --> 00:57:29.060
we're taking such a huge gamble on Bitcoin Park. Yeah.
692
00:57:30.160 --> 00:57:32.580
And, you know, we already I already have
693
00:57:33.305 --> 00:57:38.125
all these friends I've made online, I already have this audience online, I have this platform online.
694
00:57:38.585 --> 00:57:39.325
But ultimately,
695
00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:42.740
to have a place where people can meet in person and
696
00:57:43.120 --> 00:57:44.500
have in person relationships
697
00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:49.620
is so powerful. Even if the scope of the amount of people that might see
698
00:57:49.985 --> 00:57:51.525
or be a part of those conversations
699
00:57:51.905 --> 00:57:54.485
is decreased. The quality of the conversation
700
00:57:55.185 --> 00:57:56.245
is so much better.
701
00:57:57.185 --> 00:57:58.085
And I think,
702
00:57:58.590 --> 00:57:59.090
I
703
00:57:59.710 --> 00:58:01.310
mean, hopefully, the gamble play pay
704
00:58:01.870 --> 00:58:02.690
pays off.
705
00:58:04.270 --> 00:58:08.984
But I think there's, like, this nice little middle ground. There's this combination, right, where you you have,
706
00:58:10.164 --> 00:58:12.505
places for people to come together in person,
707
00:58:12.884 --> 00:58:29.694
and then also places where you're the this place is also a place where you're able to produce content that has a global reach. And there's a lot of similarities there to, basically, the Colorado event and what you view beef initiative for. Right? Where you have, okay, a 100 people in person having a high signal real conversations,
708
00:58:30.075 --> 00:58:34.815
and then you also have globally produced content that that goes out from those same
709
00:58:35.380 --> 00:58:35.880
locations.
710
00:58:36.180 --> 00:58:41.319
711
00:58:41.700 --> 00:58:42.200
localized
712
00:58:42.755 --> 00:58:45.875
broadcast globally. I can't remember the true phrase he said.
713
00:58:46.515 --> 00:58:52.590
714
00:58:53.050 --> 00:59:29.369
715
00:59:30.070 --> 00:59:36.625
And once we get that going, guess what happens across the nation with all these Bitcoin meetups in the different headquarters?
716
00:59:37.085 --> 00:59:39.025
They start doing the same thing. Exactly.
717
00:59:39.965 --> 00:59:47.760
And once you get it going, once you get it flowing, a lot of risk. I mean, you know, Bitcoin Park is risk. Right? You know, it's dollars and cents. At some point, you gotta
718
00:59:48.220 --> 00:59:54.925
you gotta just go for it. Right? You have to go through it, and you just innovate. You don't have to ask for permission anymore. Bitcoiners don't ask for permission. Right.
719
00:59:55.485 --> 01:00:03.505
And so once we get that kind of signal going, and we show proof of work, and we show the successes and the failures and the iterations that we have to go through,
720
01:00:03.820 --> 01:00:06.000
I guarantee we get one Tennessee rancher
721
01:00:06.300 --> 01:00:06.800
here
722
01:00:07.100 --> 01:00:11.575
in Bitcoin Park, and Bitcoiners are buying the beef from him.
723
01:00:11.954 --> 01:00:14.454
He's set for the next 5 to 10 years.
724
01:00:14.755 --> 01:00:16.375
We're talking about true innovation
725
01:00:16.755 --> 01:00:28.450
of pure animal protein again that which we lost the last 50 years, since the supermarket that was created in 1971, that's been exacerbated by these 4 global processing and packaging centers.
726
01:00:29.035 --> 01:00:34.015
727
01:00:36.930 --> 01:00:39.430
I I can't stop and I won't stop. So,
728
01:00:39.970 --> 01:00:48.165
you know, one of the things that we are doing at Bitcoin Park is is, for whatever reason, the previous tenants had a coffee shop here. So we have a coffee shop already.
729
01:00:49.744 --> 01:00:50.705
And we brought in
730
01:00:51.950 --> 01:00:55.090
we haven't had we haven't had a rancher here yet, but we had,
731
01:00:56.270 --> 01:00:57.650
this farm to cup
732
01:00:59.355 --> 01:01:01.295
Guatemalan producer of coffee,
733
01:01:01.595 --> 01:01:03.455
and she came in with her husband.
734
01:01:04.395 --> 01:01:07.670
And, you know, their eyes lit up. They were like, this is exactly
735
01:01:07.970 --> 01:01:11.670
what we've been looking for, a way to connect these farmers in Guatemala
736
01:01:12.049 --> 01:01:15.190
directly to consumers and cut out all the middlemen in between.
737
01:01:16.225 --> 01:01:28.480
And I I like to think that when we start to get ranchers here, it's gonna be a similar it's gonna be a similar situation. It'll flow like water. It'll be so natural. And you think about, you know, you come here in for the coffee. Right?
738
01:01:28.940 --> 01:01:34.615
739
01:01:34.994 --> 01:01:35.895
to where people,
740
01:01:36.355 --> 01:01:41.830
they don't wanna go anywhere else. And if they know that it's happening and they feel wanted and connected,
741
01:01:42.450 --> 01:01:49.110
then once again, here we go, man. It's an international lifestyle that you've been yearning for. And, like, the crazy thing is when we were talking
742
01:01:50.195 --> 01:01:50.775
743
01:01:51.235 --> 01:02:13.244
they were making us coffee and stuff. We were just talking about, like, coffee and farming and stuff. We weren't they're not Bitcoiners. Right. They're not Bitcoiners yet. Yeah. It doesn't have to be about And we just Bitcoin never came up, except that they'll accept payment in Bitcoin, but they can take dollars if they want. Sure. And that that that and then that's what I always tell people. Don't start the conversation about Bitcoin.
744
01:02:13.704 --> 01:02:18.365
745
01:02:18.910 --> 01:02:33.955
Guatemalan coffee, how they raise those coffee beans. Everything about that, you need to educate yourself so you could speak towards it. Yeah. It shows you it shows you what a global movement it is, by the way, because Ibex is a Guatemalan company. It is. So we were like, you can accept Bitcoin
746
01:02:34.780 --> 01:02:49.215
747
01:02:50.075 --> 01:02:51.250
748
01:02:51.650 --> 01:03:00.550
everything like the tickets for the conferences, you know, you can pay in Bitcoin or, you know, whatever. We use all this technology already with our beef. You know, I've told everybody we've had over $100,000
749
01:03:01.255 --> 01:03:02.635
beef sold through the beef initiative,
750
01:03:03.015 --> 01:03:03.995
you know, through Bitcoin.
751
01:03:04.375 --> 01:03:05.275
And so
752
01:03:06.135 --> 01:03:07.515
it's happening. And
753
01:03:08.055 --> 01:03:09.995
if you think that you need to wait anymore
754
01:03:10.329 --> 01:03:11.549
to adopt this
755
01:03:11.849 --> 01:03:12.349
transformation
756
01:03:12.730 --> 01:03:18.109
into everything that we've been talking about, and you especially been in since since you're such an old school guy,
757
01:03:19.745 --> 01:03:35.950
You know, you you you see it too, and you feel it. And I think it's our responsibility to bring these other people in, and it's not about telling them they have to start accepting Bitcoin. It's just saying, hey. We want you to be involved with us Exactly. And let it let it happen holistically and naturally. So we have,
758
01:03:36.885 --> 01:03:38.585
759
01:03:39.845 --> 01:03:41.305
I think that's how you pronounce
760
01:03:41.605 --> 01:03:42.425
his name.
761
01:03:43.045 --> 01:03:44.345
And he supports
762
01:03:45.240 --> 01:03:47.420
3 local producers in SoCal
763
01:03:48.040 --> 01:03:50.859
Mhmm. Southern California. And he wants to know
764
01:03:51.319 --> 01:03:56.684
how does he kick start some kind of Bitcoin beef initiative in Southern California. And I guess
765
01:03:57.144 --> 01:04:05.170
people are asking from any anywhere in the country. Sure. They want they want to try and start something in their area. What what's their steps? What what should they
766
01:04:05.470 --> 01:04:18.295
767
01:04:19.010 --> 01:04:21.990
They need our help in California. So let's let's coordinate
768
01:04:22.370 --> 01:04:25.350
and reach out to me DM me on, you know,
769
01:04:26.825 --> 01:04:30.525
Twitter, or you can email of course to text txlim@beefinitiative.com.
770
01:04:33.305 --> 01:04:47.975
Most important thing for everybody to hear there's a protocol that's going on with people coming into the beef initiative. Every producer that gets added to the beef initiative right now it's crowdsourced. It's because it's already has proof of work. So
771
01:04:48.275 --> 01:04:55.200
Bitcoiners and producers are starting to see that the value add of getting into the producer section of beef initiative. It's beef initiative.comforward/producer.
772
01:04:57.500 --> 01:05:03.325
Once they're in there, people start calling them. People start contacting them. They start being educated,
773
01:05:03.625 --> 01:05:05.645
they start reaching out to them more.
774
01:05:06.185 --> 01:05:19.250
Once they've established that themselves in that producer section, then we can start really looking at what are their pain points. Let's start working together. Let's coordinate with me, and we start developing a plan, you know, regionally, geographically,
775
01:05:19.869 --> 01:05:20.369
demographically,
776
01:05:21.255 --> 01:05:25.994
everything. We look at, you know, what they've got going on. And just like with Ryan in Missouri,
777
01:05:26.295 --> 01:05:31.990
you know, he's doing something different than, you know, Justin is doing in the panhandle. Right. That Jason's doing in Colorado.
778
01:05:32.369 --> 01:05:34.230
Cole's doing in Southern Texas,
779
01:05:34.690 --> 01:05:35.509
Central Texas.
780
01:05:35.890 --> 01:05:40.414
So, you know, let's coordinate. Let's start building these nodes across United
781
01:05:40.954 --> 01:05:44.414
States. It starts with a, you know, a quick conversation and some collaboration.
782
01:05:45.434 --> 01:05:46.255
783
01:05:47.035 --> 01:05:54.000
By the way, we pronounce his name get Fox. He's telling me in the comments. Okay. Get Fox. I'm just getting So he's gonna reach out to you. Perfect.
784
01:05:55.100 --> 01:05:59.775
Well, Slim, it's been a pleasure. It's always a pleasure to be with you on and off the air.
785
01:06:00.635 --> 01:06:02.815
Do you have any final thoughts before we wrap up?
786
01:06:03.275 --> 01:06:07.780
787
01:06:08.240 --> 01:06:18.474
788
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:27.040
transfer those dates around so you can be in Colorado. And I would say I would I would absolutely love to be there. And if I'm not there, I'm gonna have massive FOMO. So
789
01:06:28.985 --> 01:06:41.369
790
01:06:41.990 --> 01:06:47.755
And, you know, how many relationships and friendships that I've established this last year is just priceless.
791
01:06:48.455 --> 01:06:55.835
Let's keep this going. Everybody can participate. You don't have to ask for permission. This is for everybody. We're open source for crowdsource, ma'am.
792
01:06:56.140 --> 01:07:01.840
Let's let's do this movement. Let's let's not just watch the number and expect number go up.
793
01:07:02.220 --> 01:07:04.800
How we make it is that we start really collaborating
794
01:07:05.100 --> 01:07:09.505
together, and we start bringing in all of this intelligence, all this education,
795
01:07:10.845 --> 01:07:11.744
this this
796
01:07:12.204 --> 01:07:12.704
humility,
797
01:07:13.339 --> 01:07:14.960
as you say, stay humble.
798
01:07:15.740 --> 01:07:18.559
Let's stack some sats and let's stack some protein.
799
01:07:19.260 --> 01:07:29.075
800
01:07:29.535 --> 01:07:30.035
by
801
01:07:30.339 --> 01:07:37.319
you guys, and I I really do appreciate your support. Easiest way to do is podcasting 2 point o apps or going to dispatch.com.
802
01:07:39.175 --> 01:07:40.395
If you send boostograms,
803
01:07:40.695 --> 01:07:41.675
I will read them
804
01:07:42.055 --> 01:07:48.690
for the next episode. I don't know when that oh, I think our next our next dispatch is gonna be on Sunday, unless we have one before then.
