Bitcoin Yes or No Game

|
| The Michael Knolls Show is my favorite show. | |
| Oh, well that's an obvious one. | |
| Even before you put your answer down, it seems so obvious. | |
| The answer would be yes. | |
| Like, no? | |
| No! | |
| - No, no, what? - Sorry. - What? | |
| I'm here at the Bitcoin conference. | |
| I don't know anything about Bitcoin. | |
| I don't know anything about most of the people here. | |
| But I am going to get to know them through the yes or no game. | |
| I'm joined by Mike Germano, president of Bitcoin Magazine, Russell Okung, the first player of any sort to do his contract in Bitcoin. | |
| I'm here with Uncle Rockstar developer. | |
| I feel that I'm at a bit of a disadvantage because we have to guess what the other person thinks. | |
| That you are a complete enigma to me right now. | |
| I'm joined by maybe the perfect guest for this game. | |
| One of the very first guests on my show back in 2017. | |
| That's true. | |
| That would be the Mooch in Los Angeles. | |
| Anthony Scaramucci, that's right. | |
| You look good. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |
| You as well. | |
| You've got good hair products, Norris. | |
| Thank you. | |
| I would have to. | |
| This is not flattery. | |
| I'm a student of hair products. | |
| You're an expert. | |
| The rules, you know, what kind of make them up as we go along? | |
| I begin, I, so you have to answer if I, have watched a romantic comedy alone. | |
| I am going to say, me, myself, and Irene. | |
| Yeah, of course she did. | |
| That's obviously, that counts. | |
| She's like a little bit of a metrosexual, you know what I mean? | |
| New York, Italian, sometimes it's hard to understand. | |
| We probably cried during it as well. | |
| Feminism has made women miserable. | |
| Oh man, you guys have easy... Yeah, you don't even need to put the answer to that. | |
| It's an obvious yes. | |
| Can I go with maybe? | |
| Maybe. | |
| Okay, yeah, it's a yes. | |
| It's a yes. | |
| I mean, it depends on which group, but yeah, you need to take the ownership. | |
| You can't be a victim. | |
| So with feminism, a lot of it has turned into, okay, there are actual problems versus who is the best victim. | |
| You don't want to platform those people because as soon as you solve their one problem, they're going to invent another problem. | |
| That's the thing. | |
| There's no end to it. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And I'm an absolute feminist. | |
| I'm a woman. | |
| You're a feminist. | |
| I'm a woman. | |
| You could be a woman. | |
| For all I know. | |
| What do I know? | |
| She, her. | |
| We should let pandas go extinct. | |
| I'll put my guest down so I'm not cheating. | |
| Okay. | |
| Alright, now. | |
| You have to guess what I think. | |
| Correct, okay. | |
| My answer, I believe that you believe pandas should go extinct because you don't like the fact that we have to rely on China in order to borrow them. | |
| Is that correct? | |
| You gotta put your card. | |
| - Oh, no, you say yes, I say no. | |
| No. | |
| I say no. | |
| Now, it's a little bit of a trick question, because I watched this YouTube video once where the guy convinced me that pandas don't actually exist. | |
| Okay. | |
| That it's just men in panda suits. | |
| But then I now think they do exist. | |
| And I don't like being reliant on China. | |
| However, they're very big and cuddly and silly. | |
| And because of how superfluous they are, I would like them to remain. | |
| That's an easy one. | |
| It should be easy for you. | |
| Okay. | |
| Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all time. | |
| But now, because of the way you said it, it makes me think there's like a trick. | |
| So I would just, my intuitive answer would be yes. | |
| Yes, okay, alright. | |
| I didn't know if there was some, like, trick in there. | |
| Well, you know, some people... Like you played it in college or something? | |
| No, I didn't play it, but some people should know better by now. | |
| I don't know why it's even a debate. | |
| Global warming is 100% fake. | |
| Oh, well that's... No, I gotta guess what you think. | |
| Oh, you're guessing what I... I'm gonna guess what you think about that. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| I'm gonna say that global warming is 100% fake. | |
| You're going to say no. | |
| I'm going to say no. | |
| It's only 99% fake. | |
| It's probably 50% fake, but it's not 100% fake. | |
| We are doing something bad to the environment. | |
| I don't know exactly why. | |
| That's a reasonable moderation. | |
| I am close friends with someone who has pronouns in their bio. | |
| You're a good person, so you have some people that are lost, so you're like, yes. | |
| Well, I was trying to think, because when you say close friends, in their bio, I've got friends who are confused about all sorts of stuff on many levels, but then I was thinking, okay, but do they have it in their bio? | |
| And I think they might, but it's usually as a joke. | |
| You know, it's like, Pronounce His Majesty or something like that, you know? | |
| Hey, Rockstar, right? | |
| Rockstar. | |
| No, as an immigrant, I must tell you something. | |
| In most of the world's languages, there is a way to formally address someone versus informally. | |
| That's true, yeah, yeah. | |
| So there is no way for that in English. | |
| So that's what pronoun people are trying to do. | |
| That's interesting, like the respectful singular third or plural second. | |
| Exactly. | |
| I'm like, Michael, sir. | |
| Yes. | |
| But pronouns are messed up because it's about third person. | |
| You and me are talking about someone who is not even present. | |
| You make a good point. | |
| Hey, I've been thinking about this for quite a while. | |
| In the informal and the formal you, you make a good point. | |
| Well, Donald Trump was the best president we ever had. | |
| Ever. | |
| Ever. | |
| You have to think about, okay, so this is now my answer, right? | |
| Yeah, so you pick your host, yes or no, and you put that one down so you can't change your answer. | |
| Okay, so hold on. | |
| So here we go. | |
| There we go, close. | |
| Okay. | |
| The real debate is Trump or Washington, right? | |
| I mean, that's... Okay, well, then I'm saying yes. | |
| Well, I know you just met me and I'm wearing a Make a Bitcoin Great Again hat. | |
| I'm gonna have to say no, because... I was judging your facial, it made it seem like... I get it, I get it, I get it. | |
| Well, look, I mean, Teddy Roosevelt, I think, would be the best. | |
| He was clearly a Bitcoiner. | |
| He just didn't know it yet. | |
| And the only reason no is because I'm looking forward to Donald Trump's presidency this time around when he's supportive of Bitcoin. | |
| So, 45, not the best. | |
| I'm looking forward to 47. | |
| 47 could be the best one. | |
| The upgrade. | |
| The upgrade Donald Trump. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's what I'm going to give. | |
| Okay. | |
| The problems all started when women We're allowed to vote. | |
| Okay, now your answer. | |
| You've got to put your answer down. | |
| I have to guess what you would say. | |
| My answer... I'm going to say you would say... No. | |
| Correct. | |
| It's no. | |
| Yes, it's no. | |
| It all started either with the French Revolution. | |
| Some would say in the 16th century. | |
| I actually think it was King John. | |
| King John? | |
| With the Maga Carter. | |
| Yeah. | |
| He should have just let himself run the whole thing and screwed all the lords. | |
| Don't you think? | |
| Kind of. | |
| Yeah, at least if you're going to go back before the Glorious Revolution. | |
| Yes, you guys are post-constitutional. | |
| I know you people. | |
| A hot dog is a sandwich. | |
| This is a much more complicated question than, you know, Bitcoin or the Federal Reserve. | |
| A hot dog is a sandwich. | |
| My answer... How do you think I would answer that? | |
| Yes. | |
| Spot on. | |
| Wow, I've never believed in crypto more than I believe, because if you are perspicacious enough to understand the nuances of the is a hot dog a sandwich question, then you might be right on crypto. | |
| Russell, thank you, sir. | |
| Pleasure to sit down. | |
| Hey, do you own any Bitcoin yet or what? | |
| I wish. | |
| I wish I bought Bitcoin 10 years ago. | |
| I don't own any. | |
| All right, so we're going to spin you up a wallet, and I'm going to send you some of your first Bitcoin. | |
| That sounds amazing. | |
| That's ridiculous. | |
| I would be honored. | |
| You cannot be at a Bitcoin conference and not have any Bitcoin. | |
| I really feel like I've won something in this game. | |
