| Well, the debanking continues now, targeting myself. | |
| So you know how Nigel Farage was debanked by, what was it, NatWest or Coots, whatever it's called, in the UK? And this crazed, I don't know, this climate change pushing... | |
| Female CEO named Allison Rose. | |
| She was the first female chief executive of NatWest Bank. | |
| And she said she's going to tackle climate change. | |
| And so she debanked Nigel Farage. | |
| She got caught lying about it. | |
| And she's now resigned because Nigel Farage basically did some badass judo on her and exposed her as the insane discriminatory liar that she is. | |
| In fact, the entire board of that bank should resign at this point. | |
| Here's a tweet from Holston Wollstonecroft who says that coots are at stage two of female CEO syndrome. | |
| Here it is. | |
| Stage one is corporate installs first female CEO. And then step two, remakes the entire business according to politics of the day, which would be climate change and wokeism. | |
| And then number three, profit revenue warnings within five years. | |
| Number four, bullies other women to cover their tracks. | |
| And then number five, blames toxic masculinity. | |
| Right, so of course they debanked Nigel Farage. | |
| What an extraordinary thing. | |
| And then, of course, Dr. | |
| Joseph Mercola, his staff and their family members have been debanked by JPMorgan Chase, as I pointed out yesterday. | |
| Even though JPMorgan Chase is more than happy to bank with Jeffrey Epstein for quite some period of time, enabling child sex trafficking and child raping. | |
| So, oh, that was okay with them. | |
| They never debanked Jeffrey Epstein. | |
| But they did debank Joseph Mercola and his Mercola Market business in Florida and Stephen Rye, I think his CEO or CFO, and Stephen Rye's family members and children were all debanked by JPMorgan Chase because how dare you sell nutrition? | |
| How dare you teach people how to heal? | |
| You know, you're going to get targeted by the weaponized banking industry. | |
| And now, today, I have been debanked by Robinhood. | |
| Not JPMorgan Chase, which I was kind of expecting. | |
| I'm keeping my account there just to kind of see what happens, but by Robinhood. | |
| So I've had issues with Robinhood for several weeks where I had purchased some crypto. | |
| And I attempted to send a very tiny amount of Bitcoin off the platform after I had purchased it. | |
| And they froze the Bitcoin trade or all the crypto actions on the Robinhood platform. | |
| And I was trying to sort that out with them. | |
| Couldn't get anything done. | |
| Their customer service appears to be non-existent. | |
| And so... | |
| Earlier today, I said, I'm tired of waiting. | |
| So I never had that much money with Robinhood. | |
| And so I was trying to log in and just transfer $1,200 out back to my bank. | |
| Not even crypto in this case. | |
| Just, hey, I got a $1,200 balance there. | |
| I just want to transfer that back to my bank. | |
| Because from my bank, I can transfer that over to Kraken, by the way. | |
| And I can buy Bitcoin or Monero or whatever I want over there at Kraken. | |
| That's working great. | |
| So I try to do this on Robinhood, and it gives me the following message with a giant warning sign. | |
| Your account is under review. | |
| Transaction failed. | |
| Your Robinhood accounts are restricted due to a recent review. | |
| Now, what does that mean? | |
| It means they seized my funds, they froze my account, and the reason they give me is because they are reviewing the account. | |
| So, in other words, they're the reason the funds are seized. | |
| It's their fault. | |
| All I was wanting to do was send the money back to a regular bank. | |
| The warning says, we'll need to complete our review before we can provide additional support, which means you can't even ask them for support now. | |
| No action is needed, they say. | |
| We'll notify you once our review is completed within 7 to 10 days. | |
| Now, that's probably 7 to 10 business days, which means two weeks. | |
| So basically what Robinhood just did... | |
| Probably because I'm the health ranger. | |
| Robinhood just said, hey, we're just going to steal your money, we're shutting down your ability to do anything, and we're shutting you off from customer support, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. | |
| Just wait two weeks and hope and pray that maybe you might get your money back. | |
| But in the meantime, it's ours. | |
| That's what Robinhood just did to me. | |
| And notably, JPMorgan Chase didn't even do that to Mercola. | |
| Chase didn't steal Mercola's money. | |
| They just said, you've got to find another bank by this upcoming date. | |
| Basically, you're no longer welcome here. | |
| That's what Chase did, which is bad enough. | |
| But Robinhood actually seized my funds. | |
| They're holding my money hostage. | |
| Granted, it's only $1,200, but for a lot of people, that's a lot of money, you know? | |
| I mean, and this should be illegal, what they're doing. | |
| So this is my point in all of this, that what they did to Nigel Farage in the UK, what JPMorgan Chase did to Dr. | |
| Mercola and his employees and their family members, what Robinhood just did to me, I believe that the people who work at these financial institutions should be charged with felony crimes of financial terrorism against their own customers. | |
| Because in all of these cases, Nigel Farage, Joseph Mercola, myself, the Health Ranger, we did nothing wrong. | |
| We weren't laundering money. | |
| We weren't hacking their systems. | |
| We weren't trying to cheat in any way. | |
| There was no security incident. | |
| You know, we never reported any security problem. | |
| We were all debanked because of our speech, because of our knowledge, because that we teach people about freedom and liberty and nutrition and health and prevention, all these things. | |
| We are debanked because we are people who help humanity be free. | |
| That's why we are debanked. | |
| And to Robin Hood and JPMorgan Chase and Coots or NatWest or whoever it is in the UK, damn all of you to hell for what you do. | |
| I hope to God that you get criminally prosecuted or at least civilly sued for your... | |
| Viewpoint discrimination against your own customers. | |
| And I urge everybody out there, do not bank with JPMorgan Chase. | |
| Do not go to Robinhood. | |
| Do not use Robinhood for anything. | |
| They will steal your money. | |
| They will seize it, freeze it, sit on it, and cut you off from customer support. | |
| And the reason I know that is because they just did that to me. | |
| Merely because I tried to withdraw money that I had already deposited from my bank. | |
| Think about that. | |
| They hold your money hostage and then they tell you there's nothing you can do about it. | |
| Now think about it. | |
| If you or any one of us, if we went into a bank And force them and say, give me all your money. | |
| I'm seizing it for two weeks and there's nothing you can do about it. | |
| Well, we'd be charged with, I don't know, robbery or making threatening statements or, I don't know, financial crimes. | |
| Who knows what? | |
| All kinds of felonies, right? | |
| But when the banks do it to you, oh, they never get prosecuted, do they? | |
| They never go to jail. | |
| So they have the power to carry out acts of financial terrorism against we the people with no repercussions on their part. | |
| And this is why, and you've heard me say this now for several months, this is why I've said we have to get out of the traditional finance system. | |
| And in fact, the entire reason why I even signed up for Robinhood in the first place was to buy crypto and to get the crypto off the platform. | |
| Which apparently they don't like you to do that. | |
| It's like, oh don't you dare use our service for what we said it should be used for. | |
| Or we'll freeze all your money. | |
| So apparently on Robinhood you can only keep your account active if you don't use it for the things, for the services they offer. | |
| That's an interesting business model. | |
| And as you may recall, a little bit later I signed up for Kraken. | |
| Which has turned out to be a really excellent platform. | |
| But Kraken also initially froze my account. | |
| And there was one point where I had been frozen by four different platforms. | |
| Frozen by Gemini, which is still the case, by the way. | |
| They still haven't resolved it. | |
| I was frozen by Coinbase at one point. | |
| Frozen, all the funds seized now by Robinhood. | |
| And initially it was frozen on Kraken. | |
| Kraken actually sent me an email that said, you're no longer welcome here. | |
| You can never use Kraken again. | |
| And after I went public with it, As you may recall, Kraken actually reached out, they did a little investigation, found out that they made a mistake, they apologized, they reinstated, and basically it turned out that they thought someone was trying to impersonate me. | |
| But since they reinstated my account, since then, it's been incredibly smooth. | |
| So I've been on Kraken buying crypto, which means trading dollars for crypto, and then offloading that crypto into private cold storage wallets. | |
| And so I've been doing exactly what I said I was going to do, getting out of the banking system and moving it to crypto where I have self-custody so that I have control over that money. | |
| Because as you're seeing with Nigel Farage and Joseph Mercola and this thing with Robinhood, we don't have control over our money in these banking institutions. | |
| You don't have any control at all. | |
| In fact, by the way, I've downloaded and I'm running the Bitcoin Core software right now. | |
| Which is sinking all the blocks from 2009. | |
| So that's got to take a while. | |
| But I'm running my own Bitcoin full node, essentially. | |
| Because Bitcoin's part of this ecosystem. | |
| And, you know, I like privacy coins. | |
| So, of course, Monero is part of this equation. | |
| And so are some other coins and so on. | |
| But my point is, my experience tells me that... | |
| Any money left in the traditional banking system, even in online trading operations like Robinhood, any money that they can steal from you or seize or freeze, they will. | |
| And so I'm getting everything out of the system that I possibly can. | |
| And every day it's being confirmed to me that that's the right decision. | |
| Because more bank failures are coming. | |
| I believe that bank bail-ins are coming and bank seizures are coming. | |
| And those of us on the front lines of this, like Nigel Farage and Dr. | |
| Mercola and myself, of course, we're targeted first, but you will be targeted coming soon. | |
| Everything they do to me, they'll do to you a little bit later. | |
| Trust me. | |
| Remember, they censored me first and then they censored everybody else. | |
| So they're financially debanking me and Mercola and others, and then that's coming for you next, too. | |
| So let this be the canary in the coal mine. | |
| You've got to get out of the traditional financial system, and you've got to take self-custody over your wealth, in my opinion. | |
| And you know, I've talked about self-custody before. | |
| Gold, silver, and crypto. | |
| Those are three things where you can actually have custody. | |
| I mean, real estate to some extent, too, if you live on it, if you live on a piece of land, then, yeah, you have custody unless the county decides that they want to sell it or they have eminent domain or whatever, right? | |
| So you don't really own land. | |
| You're basically renting it from the county. | |
| But when it comes to gold and silver and crypto, you really own it. | |
| It's in your custody. | |
| You control it. | |
| And when it comes to privacy coins, there's nothing that any government can do to even know how much you have or how to get it. | |
| They can't automatically take it from you and they can't freeze it. | |
| So big middle finger to Robin Hood, yeah, you could freeze $1,200, but you can't freeze my Monero wallet. | |
| You can't freeze my Bitcoin wallet. | |
| You know, you can't freeze my silver coins that I bought last year. | |
| You can't freeze any of that stuff. | |
| They can only freeze what they control. | |
| And our goal is to give them less and less control by getting our assets out of the system. | |
| And that's exactly what we are doing. | |
| Now, I need to clarify something here, too, because we are currently accepting on BrightTown.com four different privacy crypto coins as a tipping system. | |
| Well, we're not accepting the coins. | |
| We're allowing fans to send crypto tips to their favorite content creators directly. | |
| It doesn't go through us. | |
| But we natively support the QR codes for four different privacy coins. | |
| And those coins are Monero, Monero, Epic Cash, Beam, and Firo, which is spelled F-I-R-O. Those are the four coins we natively support. | |
| And an issue came up earlier today that I think I need to address. | |
| The fact that we accept those four coins does not mean, and it should never be interpreted as my endorsement or even Brighteon's endorsement of investments in those coins or investments or speculation in projects related to those coins. | |
| So somebody came on the Decentralized TV chat group and was shilling a project called Epic Cash ECK. | |
| ECK, which is some kind of, I don't know, it's a new blockchain that the Epic Cash people have launched that... | |
| Frankly, look, I can't tell you what to do, but I won't touch that. | |
| I will have nothing to do with it. | |
| That's my decision. | |
| And I just don't want anybody to assume that just because we accept Epic Cash or Beam or Firo or Monero that I don't want anybody to think that that means we endorse everything related to these coins and their projects and their founders and everything else that they're trying to do. | |
| We don't! | |
| This is why I don't recommend any specific coins. | |
| I've never said that you should buy a specific coin. | |
| I've never talked about price targets or speculation or anything of that kind. | |
| I'm all about the utility of these coins. | |
| I want to allow people to send tips to each other. | |
| And I want to allow people to be able to have private digital money that enables them to engage in transactions that are private or to store value in a private way so that it's almost impossible for anyone else to confiscate. | |
| That's why I'm an advocate of privacy crypto in general. | |
| And like you, I'm still assessing everything that's out there. | |
| The strengths, the weaknesses. | |
| The size of the projects and the liquidity. | |
| I mean, I'm on Kraken and I'm watching, by the way, the liquidity of XMR, which is Monero. | |
| And I find it amazing how much liquidity this coin has, by the way, as a privacy coin, because the spread between buy and sell offers, the spread is only 0.172% right now as I'm looking at it. | |
| It's not even half a percent. | |
| It's not even 0.2%. | |
| It's less than that. | |
| So the spread between buyers and sellers is very narrow, and the volume is quite large. | |
| If I go to coinmarketcap.com and look at the volume that's traded in Monero, it's astonishing to me. | |
| Now, I know that these volumes can be manipulated through automated bot trading and so on, but the 24-hour volume of Monero is over $100 million worth in one day. | |
| Over $100 million. | |
| And the market cap of Monero, which, I mean, you can make of this what you will, but it's almost $3 billion. | |
| The circulating supply of Monero, 18 million coins. | |
| I mean, this coin is the number one privacy coin. | |
| It's got a ton of liquidity, which means it's relatively easy to get in and out of Monero. | |
| I find that fascinating because, you know, compared to a lot of other privacy coins, Monero is orders of magnitude larger. | |
| But other privacy coins have some pretty amazing technology. | |
| And we've interviewed... | |
| People, top people involved in these other projects. | |
| And those interviews are what we are featuring at decentralized.tv. | |
| And in fact, we recently interviewed, posted the interview of Beam, which was Alex Romanov. | |
| And that was a fascinating discussion. | |
| People really enjoyed that. | |
| And then we just posted yesterday an interview about cold fusion or low energy nuclear reactions, which has nothing to do with crypto, but it's about decentralized power. | |
| And power generation, everybody being able to move off-grid, a revolution in energy creation that's clean with zero emissions, by the way. | |
| So if you missed that interview, definitely check that out at decentralize.tv. | |
| But then the next interview that we're about to post, by the way, is with Ruben of FIRO. In fact, I think it's Ruben. | |
| I'm pretty sure it's Ruben, but I don't know. | |
| We've filmed 12 episodes and I have a schedule of what's coming out next. | |
| I think Firo is the next interview. | |
| And when you see that interview, you're also going to be amazed because it's a really fascinating discussion about what Firo is working on, namely Lelantis Spark, which again, you have to watch the interview to find out about that. | |
| So some really amazing technology. | |
| And yet FIRO is one hundredth the price of Monero. | |
| And Beam is something like one fortieth the price of FIRO. | |
| So it's like the prices don't, the prices are not a good measure of the technology. | |
| Sometimes the tech can be quite good. | |
| And yet the popularity of a project might be very low. | |
| And so not a lot of people are buying and holding that coin. | |
| But my point is, in all of this, the big picture is, I'm here to help investigate these different coins and projects. | |
| I'm here to share those investigations with you. | |
| You'll notice I never recommend specific coins. | |
| I never recommend specific prices or speculation of any kind. | |
| I always have some constructive criticism about coins and projects as well. | |
| And so do not take anything I say as an endorsement. | |
| Or a recommendation to buy or sell a specific coin. | |
| I will share with you my personal opinion of projects to avoid, in my opinion, from time to time. | |
| Like I said, personally, I'm not going to touch Epic Cash ECK for reasons that I don't have time to go into here. | |
| But forget it. | |
| That's off my radar. | |
| But I'm not going to ever call for you to go into something, and I'm never going to tell you, oh, it's going to the moon. | |
| And by the way, if any of these projects were to misappropriate my interviews to say that I was personally endorsing their coins, I would ask them to stop that, to remove that, take it down. | |
| Because I'm not personally endorsing anybody's coin. | |
| I've found a lot of technology that I really like. | |
| I've found and met some people that I really like who I think are really mature and are doing some great things in this industry. | |
| Like Ruben, for example, at Firo. | |
| Ruben is a super likable individual from what I know of him so far, right? | |
| But we are also going to run into projects that are not that interesting or people that are not that great. | |
| I mean, it's a mixed bag. | |
| So use your own best judgment about all of this. | |
| And frankly, if you have no stomach for price volatility in the crypto space, then you might be better off just sticking with gold and silver. | |
| Because gold and silver, physical, not complicated, no password. | |
| You don't need to memorize a seed phrase, right? | |
| Works when electricity doesn't. | |
| You know, you don't have to do backups and you don't have to have cold storage because really all of it's cold storage as long as you have possession. | |
| So if crypto just gets too technical, just stick with gold and silver. | |
| But if you don't mind the tech behind crypto, then crypto has these amazing advantages such as being able to send it or to store it in your head in essence by memorizing the seed phrase of a wallet so that you have portability of wealth that no one even knows you have and no one can take from you. | |
| This is a key advantage and you can send crypto internationally in minutes And you have self-custody, which means no government can stop you. | |
| No bank can stop you. | |
| No bank can seize your crypto funds. | |
| And even technically gold and silver, if you haven't hidden it well, a government could come along and try to take it from you. | |
| But they can't take privacy crypto if they don't know you have it or don't know where you keep it. | |
| And you might keep it again just in your head because you've memorized a wallet seed phrase. | |
| Which can be as easy as memorizing 12 specific words in a sequence. | |
| And frankly, that's not that difficult to do. | |
| So, advantages and disadvantages for all of this. | |
| I will leave this segment, wrap it up here, with the following story. | |
| That Sam Bankman Fraud, who's the giant fraudster behind FTX, as you know, has had criminal charges dropped against him now related to campaign finance violations. | |
| And this is based on a technical issue. | |
| So, remember, this guy, who touted himself as the billionaire, maybe trillionaire, who's going to give away all his money, Always beware of people who say that you've got to buy into their project because they just want to give away all their money. | |
| That's what Sam Bankman-Fried promised the whole time. | |
| Well, he was actually giving away money to Democrat candidates for the most part, helping them get elected in the last election, which of course was rigged. | |
| And so these were bribes. | |
| These were just straight up campaign finance bribes. | |
| Well, guess what? | |
| He's not going to be prosecuted on that. | |
| Funny thing, isn't it? | |
| When you give money to Democrats and you violate the law, there's always a technical issue. | |
| It gets dropped. | |
| No problem. | |
| No harm, no foul. | |
| You know, honest mistake. | |
| But if you were to violate campaign finance laws and give millions of dollars to Republicans, oh, oh, you, man, you go to jail for multiple life sentences. | |
| Oh, they would never find a loophole for you. | |
| There would not be a sweet Hunter Biden deal with the DOJ for you. | |
| No, you would do double time, triple time, you know, full sentence, right? | |
| If you gave money to Republicans. | |
| So Sam Bankman fraud actually did have it figured out. | |
| He knew that if he bribed Democrats, that he would be essentially untouchable. | |
| And guess what? | |
| It's proving to be true. | |
| It's proving to be true. | |
| How much you want to bet this guy never does a day in jail for scamming billions of dollars out of millions of innocent people? | |
| I bet you he doesn't do a day in jail. | |
| Meanwhile, the people in jail... | |
| January 6th people, innocent protesters, they're going to be in jail, rotting in filthy jails in D.C. probably for years to come when they did nothing wrong. | |
| So apparently your only real crime in America is not committing enough crimes that favor Democrats, you see. | |
| So I guess if you're going to carry out financial crimes, I mean, even Jamie Dimon figured this out at JPMorgan Chase, if you're going to be part of a giant financial criminal child trafficking rape operation, just make sure the Democrats benefit. | |
| And then you'll never have any criminal charges filed against you. | |
| Is Jamie Dimon or JPMorgan Chase going to be criminally indicted for being part of a sex trafficking money laundering operation? | |
| No, of course not. | |
| Never. | |
| Selective prosecution, folks. | |
| The system is rigged. | |
| You already know that, but this is why you have to have self-custody. | |
| The system is rigged and they will take from you what they can. | |
| And it won't be fair and they will never follow the rules. | |
| They will only selectively prosecute you. | |
| Based on your viewpoints and your speech, while they will grant immunity to the real criminals of society who are destroying everything, including the human population and liberty and the First Amendment and Second Amendment, come to think of it, those people will have legal immunity. | |
| So there you go. | |
| Take control over your assets or plan to lose them. | |
| It's funny, while I was talking, I have this screen up here about Monero on Kraken, and now the spread is only 0.06%. | |
| I mean, man, talk about volume. | |
| That's just wild. | |
| This is really an unstated, massive success story for a crypto to be this successful, even though it's been dropped from so many exchanges. | |
| It's really, it's amazing. | |
| And there's a reason why nobody stands up and says, yeah, I'm the person in charge of Monero. | |
| You know why there's nobody like that? | |
| Because they would be immediately assassinated, that's why, by the government, by the deep state, or they'd be arrested. | |
| So I don't blame him. | |
| That's why I will never interview the, quote, founder of Monero, because I have no idea who it is, and it would be pointless to even try. | |
| Because whoever it is, is deep, hidden, down some deep rabbit hole somewhere. | |
| Never to surface into the public domain. | |
| That's for sure. | |
| You can bet on that. | |
| But anyway, I think I'll wrap this up so I can buy a little bit more Monero on Kraken right now. | |
