I'm all kinds of clogged up.1200:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000Yesterday, I went to the beach and I got some water in my ear.1300:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000And for some reason, the salt water, something in there, the sand, I don't know.1400:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000It mixed in with my earwax. I have a lot of earwax, by the way.1500:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000And it clogged, and it's stuck.1600:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000And I don't know if I have any of the water out. I bought drops this morning.1700:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000They didn't freaking work. These ear drops never work, dude.1800:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000So right now, I have half my hearing. Right now, my headphones are working fine.1900:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000But I'm only hearing my voice in my left ear.2000:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000So it's a good time right now, folks. Bear with me here.2100:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000If I'm louder than usual, it's because I think I'm going deaf.2200:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000But I found this thing on Amazon that I bought. It's like $29.2300:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000Hopefully, this like... I bought like the ear thing.2400:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000There's like a thing that you can buy for your ear.2500:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000There's like the camera pokey thing that the doctors have.2600:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000You can buy that on Amazon.2700:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000So my girlfriend's going to play doctor tomorrow.2800:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000And hopefully, we get this earwax out.2900:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000I got half my hearing for the weekend.3000:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000But we're going to be good, folks. We're going to be good.3100:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000Welcome to the show. It's a sasslinger.3200:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000It's the last sasslinger ever we've gotten here.3300:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000So just like another round of applause for me.3400:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000Like I just feel good about myself right now.3500:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000We have gotten here. We've spent a lot of sats.3600:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000We've given a lot of value away.3700:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000If you don't know what this whole thing is...3800:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000So if you're listening to the promotion on Fountain,3900:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000I've been doing this for a year.4000:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000It was a once a month for a one year commitment.4100:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000And I was going to experiment with the value for value model.4200:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,000And I wanted to give... I wanted the show to give value in the way of Satoshi's.4300:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000I wanted to give you Satoshi's first before you saw any value in giving me Satoshi's.4400:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000That's always been the mindset for all this time.4500:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000I've always wanted to be the first one to give value.4600:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000And then the information, like the content, that would gradually improve, right?4700:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000So I wanted to front load the value giving with the money.4800:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000Why not just give my audience money?4900:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000And this week, this sasslinger, we're really just talking about business, Bitcoin.5000:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000We're doing a review of my numbers, of my business savviness.5100:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000And what's going on? Some updates.5200:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000It's been a big week for me, but a huge weekend personally.5300:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000The world changed this week. Do you know this?5400:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000We're talking world events, folks.5500:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000We're talking... So specifically Friday.5600:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000When it comes to everything changing, everything is shifting.5700:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000We're in a wild... Like me personally, I'm in a transition.5800:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000I saw the world also transition on Friday.5900:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000And first of all, on Friday, I took four grams of psilocybin mushrooms.6000:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000I took four grams of magic mushrooms.6100:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000And I had the... probably one of the most impactful trips of my life.6200:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000If I could just go into that for a minute.6300:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000I haven't done mushrooms in a long time.6400:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000And ever since I've done them, the first time I did them was in 2017.6500:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000I've always known that these things are for a moment.6600:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000These things are for a specific purpose.6700:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000I need to respect this. I need to respect this type of a thing.6800:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000And it's been a lot of experimenting of how to use it, when to use it,6900:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000how to talk to people when I'm on it.7000:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000It's been a lot of navigating.7100:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000And I've been alone for those experiences, for many of those experiences.7200:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000I remember in 2020, I did a good amount of mushrooms.7300:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000And that's when my girlfriend Shannon, she would stick around.7400:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000And we would hang out.7500:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000And that was the first time I really hung out with someone from beginning, middle, and end7600:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000for the entire experience.7700:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000So that was different.7800:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000And I haven't done them in a while.7900:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000I don't think I've done them since October of 2020.8000:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000I think there was a moment when I was like, all right, you know what?8100:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000I'm just like, I'm done.8200:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000I don't think I should do this right now.8300:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000I got to work through something.8400:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000And for the last year and a half or so, I've been doing that.8500:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000But I've been just doing my thing, just keeping an eye on everything that I've experienced.8600:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000All the lessons I've gotten from the mushrooms, it's always been introspective.8700:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000Love yourself and trust your gut.8800:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000Just love your family. Look at the people around you.8900:05:34,000 --> 00:05:41,000It's always been like showing me who I can trust, showing me who I can love.9000:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000And that's sort of a process.9100:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000And this past Friday, the world changed again.9200:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000I decided to take four grams and I asked Shannon if I could have the apartment to myself.9300:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000And she said yes.9400:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000And she was grateful for that.9500:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000I was grateful for her for that because sometimes I just need to be alone.9600:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000Do you ever just need to be alone?9700:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000That's how I work through things.9800:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000I prefer to do the podcast when I'm home alone.9900:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000It's not about her, it's more about the environment.10000:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000I don't want to do the podcast in a crowded area.10100:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000I want to be in my own zone, my personal...10200:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,000It's like the scene in Footloose when he's pissed off and he's drinking and smoking and dancing by himself.10300:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000I did a little move.10400:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000I just broke some glass. We'll clean that up later.10500:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000I need to be in my Footloose scene when I'm doing this thing.10600:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000So I'm on the experience.10700:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000I took these at like 9 a.m.10800:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000I grounded them up.10900:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000I measured it out twice.11000:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000I'm super... I want to be specific.11100:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000I had 4.1 grams to be totally honest.11200:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000Sometimes the.1 might change things.11300:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000They kick in in like 30 minutes and I'm totally used to it.11400:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000The first thing that I thought of was,11500:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000wow, I'm just really confident in how I'm going about this.11600:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000I have certain issues that I want to work through.11700:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000I have certain mental stuff that I want to work on.11800:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000I have certain intentions that I have.11900:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000But I was also just like... I was grateful for...12000:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,000I feel like I have a level of wisdom when it comes to using this type of a medicine,12100:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000this type of a tool.12200:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000It's nothing formal, but it's all internal.12300:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000I was grateful that I was confident that I wanted to navigate a different thing12400:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000when I was under the influence of this.12500:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000So I don't know.12600:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000I feel like I'm more mature than I was in 2017.12700:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000Of course, you're always growing up.12800:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000But I was just able to observe that.12900:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000And I was grateful for that.13000:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000And the other thing that was different was I had a blindfold on.13100:07:57,000 --> 00:08:05,000Usually... so in the clinical trials, when it comes to all the Western research of psychedelics,13200:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,000these things are always... the patients on them are always in a clinical setting13300:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000and they have a blindfold on.13400:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000And it's recommended that you have a blindfold on because...13500:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,000the visuals that you see are different than the visuals with your eyes open.13600:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000With your eyes open, you will...13700:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000You're going to see similar shapes.13800:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000There's always a kaleidoscope, 3D kaleidoscope shapes everywhere.13900:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000If my eyes were open, I would see...14000:08:35,000 --> 00:08:44,000I'm seeing the poster, different parts of my movie posters shrink and expand and morph.14100:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,000And there would also be some sort of a layer of kaleidoscope shapes shaping it.14200:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000And I would see the kaleidoscope shapes of the thing.14300:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000I would see the sacred geometry of the object that I'm looking at.14400:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000It brings a different dimension.14500:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000With your eyes closed...14600:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000And I just recently figured this out.14700:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000I recently experienced this.14800:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000It is your subconscious projecting.14900:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000It is your mental movie, man.15000:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000It is a real, for real, like a brain, like cinematic brain experience, dude.15100:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000It was really wild.15200:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000There was moments where I thought of people in my life, I thought of people in my family.15300:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000And I thought of...15400:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000There was a moment where I was thinking about Star Wars.15500:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000There was a moment where I was thinking about Darth Maul.15600:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000And it was like a scary image.15700:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000That face, that Darth Maul image has always been fearful, right?15800:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000He looks like the fucking devil.15900:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000He's terrifying.16000:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000And his face just sort of came into my vision with my eyes closed.16100:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000And the kaleidoscope shapes...16200:09:57,000 --> 00:10:06,000Every little square, every little rhombus, every little shape that I saw had a reflection of his face.16300:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000And it was like the whole thing that I was looking at was just like Darth Maul 3D kaleidoscope space.16400:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000And I was like giggling at it.16500:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000I was like, this is supposed to be scary, but it's not.16600:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000And so I was able to look at something that might have been fearful.16700:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000I was able to look at a fearful face.16800:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000A better way to say it is I was looking at a symbol of fear.16900:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000And I had the experience of laughing at it.17000:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,000And I came out the other end, just calmer, I came out the other end happier.17100:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000I was happy that I did it.17200:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,000And the intentions that I had, you know, I worked through them, you know.17300:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000It's never how you think it's going to work, you know.17400:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000When you do these sorts of things, you can have an intention.17500:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000And whatever you want it to bring you, it'll bring you.17600:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000Like if you want to party on mushrooms, it'll give you a party.17700:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000If you want to be introspective, you know, it'll allow you to be introspective.17800:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,000But at the same time, you also need to be open to what the experience is bringing you.17900:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000Because physically what's happening to your brain, your neurons,18000:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000your neurons are creating new pathways to different neurons.18100:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000So there's a more broader connection happening.18200:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000There's a more broader network connecting, right?18300:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000And I just feel good about it, man.18400:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000I just feel good, you know.18500:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000I'm not trying to encourage that.18600:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000I think it's like illegal to encourage mushrooms.18700:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000But, you know, my hope for a more beautiful world that I know is possible18800:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000and just what I want to communicate on this sasslinger is18900:11:48,000 -->

advertising.37000:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000I said, I understand the risk with advertising models,37100:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000but I am leaning towards using and experimenting with them rather than demonize.37200:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000Twitter seems like an opportunity that's different from YouTuber or Instagram influencer.37300:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000Maybe I'm moving in the bad light.37400:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000Someone help me.37500:21:57,000 --> 00:22:04,000And then Kyron goes, best to err on the side of experimentation, Cole.37600:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000It's not like you're signing contracts or anything with these places.37700:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,000I'd be interested to know your reflections on being the sass-linger for a year and how you think that

--> 00:22:24,000And one thing to say to what Kyron said is like,38100:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,000low key, I am signing a contract if I'm paying Twitter.38200:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000If I'm paying for Twitter Blue, then I am signing Twitter's contract.38300:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000And I need to be aware of what I'm posting.38400:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000I need to have a specific or I need to have some sort of a identified lane that I stay in.38500:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,000I'm not sure how it's going to go.38600:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000If I pay for Twitter Blue, if I lean into that investment,38700:22:49,000 --> 00:22:58,000and I think of it as an investment, will I be able to gain enough of an audience to get paid in the next six months?38800:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000Because ideally, that's what happens.38900:23:00,000 --> 00:23:07,000Ideally, I start making money in a few months from posting on Twitter, which would be insane, right?39000:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000It would be nuts.39100:23:09,000 --> 00:23:16,000But the reason I'm even thinking about that is because I don't know another way to promote my podcast with Bitcoin.39200:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,000All I know is to just try to talk about better information.39300:23:20,000 --> 00:23:26,000And I see an opportunity where I can post said information.39400:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000I can post about Value for Value.39500:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,000I can post about movies.39600:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000I can post about my process.39700:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,000I can post about what's inspiring me.39800:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000I can post clips of the show.39900:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000And that could potentially expand the audience.40000:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000And there's actually an intention from the company.40100:23:44,000 --> 00:23:51,000They literally say, the CEOs literally say they want Twitter, or X, X.40200:23:51,000 --> 00:23:58,000They want X to be the number one spot for creators to make a living online.40300:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000Elon has said that multiple times.40400:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,000The CEO has said that multiple times.40500:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000What does that mean?40600:24:05,000 --> 00:24:13,000If that's their mission statement, if that's what they want to be known for, that's a big deal.40700:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000They want to be known to be the number one spot for people to make a living on their website.40800:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000So that's different from everyone else.40900:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000That's different from Reddit.41000:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000This isn't just karma.41100:24:25,000 --> 00:24:39,000There's a real opportunity to grow and build my brand, to grow and build my name for essentially 10X, 20X less than what I spent on Bitcoin this year, given to you folks.41200:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000Which I'm not complaining about.41300:24:41,000 --> 00:24:49,000I love the fact that I was able to give this money, but looking at the numbers now, I'm just being healthfully critical to myself.41400:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,000There's a better way to go about this.41500:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000So that's what it's leading to.41600:24:55,000 --> 00:25:01,000So I'm most likely going to be switching from the last sass slinger to Twitter.41700:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,000But I'm also building Nostr.41800:25:02,000 --> 00:25:12,000I'm also listening to the people who boosted in the last few days, on Amanapia, Joel W., telling me to get into Nostr.41900:25:12,000 --> 00:25:21,000I think it's a fair trade to say if I'm choosing to go into Twitter, I should also choose to go into the decentralized thing.42000:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000I should really do my best to balance these two things.42100:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000So you'll see both of those up soon.42200:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000You'll most likely see me posting on Twitter more, posting on Nostr more.42300:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000We'll see what clients get super popular.42400:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000We'll see what's available.42500:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000Because it all goes into how I want to post my content.42600:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000It all goes into how I want to share my art.42700:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000Share my movies, share my shows.42800:25:46,000 --> 00:25:53,000I would love it if I could one day get to a place where I have my movies in a theater.42900:25:53,000 --> 00:26:02,000But right now I feel it's wise to think about how I'm going to distribute my movies digitally.43000:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000And I have an opportunity to own that process.43100:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000I have an opportunity to be a good example of that process.43200:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,000And it involves podcasting, it involves Bitcoin, it involves all these things.43300:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000But I don't have the pieces put together yet.43400:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000But I know what direction I can go in.43500:26:21,000 --> 00:26:27,000I can use Twitter, I can use Bitcoin Twitter to help me build that, to help me refine that idea.43600:26:27,000 --> 00:26:35,000I can use developer Twitter to help me figure out what would be the best way to go about it.43700:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000Who is a good person to talk to.43800:26:37,000 --> 00:26:45,000It's important to have decentralized servers and social medias and decentralized digital identities.43900:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000Something that I can have full control over.44000:26:47,000 --> 00:26:59,000There's a real opportunity with this open, not open, but this more global, this global town hall that they talk about.44100:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000I don't know man, someone talk me off the edge. Someone talk me off the ledge dude.44200:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000Is it going to be a ripoff if I pay for Twitter?44300:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000Because I just can't stop thinking about the good things. I just can't.44400:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,000So that was one thing. The last thing was, so this all happened Friday.44500:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000All of this happened on Friday afternoon.44600:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000July 28th, it was a new world order.44700:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000The last thing, which is honestly quite possibly the most important thing.44800:27:28,000 --> 00:27:37,000Adam Curry started, he posted the first ever value for value music podcast folks.44900:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000We are in a new realm of podcasting.45000:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000We can finally combine the arts.45100:27:43,000 --> 00:27:49,000We can finally combine the transactions of absorbing a person's expression.45200:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000Adam Curry has a one hour show called Boost a Grand Ball.45300:27:53,000 --> 00:27:59,000He records it live, but he posts it a few days later I think.45400:27:59,000 --> 00:28:09,000And folks, it's just a little DJ show, it's a little radio show and it's debuting value for value in a totally new light.45500:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,000This is going to change the game of how people create.45600:28:14,000 --> 00:28:19,000This is insane dude. So I got a little clip of him, let me just go to my iTunes.45700:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000I got a clip of him talking about value for value music, what's the situation.45800:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,000I'll have the show linked down below, if you haven't already listened to it, you gotta listen to it.45900:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000It's just a one hour music show and he just chimes in after every song.46000:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,000He gives a little information on how you can help out, how you can contribute.46100:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000The whole thing is value for value.46200:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000This is revolutionizing the music genre.46300:28:45,000 --> 00:28:51,000Imagine how many types of new music podcasting apps can come out.46400:28:51,000 --> 00:28:58,000Imagine how many new artists can be discovered through this type of a system.46500:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000Because now it just requires a person to have an RSS feed.46600:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000And then they can start posting music and making money from it.46700:29:06,000 --> 00:29:13,000From one little tool, from one little protocol, you can start creating a career around your art.46800:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000That is incredible.46900:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000Listen to Adam Kerr, this is about a two minute clip.47000:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000It's him talking about the show, how you can help out.47100:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000Just, dude, value for value, baby.47200:29:25,000 --> 00:29:32,000So that song, you can just rewind and start playing from the beginning, wherever you want, and boost it from there.47300:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,000That's the beauty of it.47400:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,000It works anywhere within the show.47500:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000And when you're boosting or when you're streaming sats during the song,47600:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,000the wallet is automatically switched and goes over to the artist.47700:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,000And they, in fact, can split their payments any way they want.47800:29:47,000 --> 00:29:56,000This is the thing, this is kind of the big revolution of what value for value does when it comes to value for value streaming payments and Boostergrams.47900:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000Everybody participates in the value flow.48000:29:58,000 --> 00:30:12,000So it's not like with an advertisement or something that the podcaster gets paid and the app developer who has the app out there, the infrastructure, everyone just, you can charge something for your app.48100:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,000You can charge something for your hosting company, for the hosting of the file.48200:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,000But really, when people value this, you'll see that people value it at a much higher rate than what you might get.48300:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000Well, for instance, Spotify.48400:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000I mean, Spotify, you can have a hundred thousand streams and you may get $10 at the end of the day, depending on what kind of deal you have.48500:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000It's really not a great product over there.48600:30:34,000 --> 00:30:41,000So you can also, as a podcaster, you can decide to, if you have, if you're two hosts, you can split it 50-50.48700:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,000You can give another piece to someone who promotes the show or does some production work for you.48800:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000The same when you're listening to a song.48900:30:49,000 --> 00:30:56,000When the song is playing, right now, it probably mainly goes to one wallet, but the artist can set it up.49000:30:56,000 --> 00:31:07,000Certainly, if you do it through musicsideproject.com, I'm not sure if Dystopia does that yet, but you could always use podcasterwallet.com at podcastindex.org,49100:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,000or even use Fountain or Con Shacks with an X.app.49200:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000You can split that.49300:31:14,000 --> 00:31:20,000So you could split it between writer, composer, and every band member who played, everyone who played on the track.49400:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000And it's transparent. You can take a look at it. You can see who's getting what.49500:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000So you don't have to have contracts anymore. You can just go take a look.49600:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,000Oh, I'm still getting my 5% or my 10% or whatever it is.49700:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000Everything's good. And you can see it coming into your own wallet.49800:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,000It goes directly from the person listening using a podcast app.49900:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,000Dude, you know I got to get in on this. Like, dude, that's incredible. That's incredible.50000:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000Adam Curry is changing the game.50100:31:45,000 --> 00:31:53,000And I've been listening to some music on these value for value apps, on these value for value websites.50200:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000Wave Lake is one of them, is like the main one I've been using.50300:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,000And it's incredible, man. And I got to figure out a way to start playing this music.50400:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000I need to find a way to start playing music and getting the artists involved.50500:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000I need to get more artists involved with this show.50600:32:08,000 --> 00:32:19,000So I'll figure out a way, if I can have from the audience, can you request music?50700:32:19,000 --> 00:32:25,000I can play this music. We can have a little music vibe. We can have a little music section of the show.50800:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,000That's how the show can, the show structure can change. It can be different. It can be a good hangout.50900:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,000I think adding music would be so divine, man.51000:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,000And now I can actually put that artist in the value block.51100:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,000I can literally allow, like your boost will affect the music artist. It will go to that person.51200:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000Like, I would so give the music like 10%. I would so give them that.51300:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,00010% of the boost or 20% of the boost, whatever it is.51400:32:51,000 --> 00:32:57,000Like, this is a fair system. This is a good system to be a part of.51500:32:57,000 --> 00:33:04,000So if you want to be a part of that, man, like go to Wave Lake, figure out how you can be a part of it.51600:33:04,000 --> 00:33:11,000You're pretty much just making your music into a podcast, but it's not, you know, it's not a podcast.51700:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000Like it's just that that's a reference to the technology.51800:33:15,000 --> 00:33:24,000Man, like it's still a little confusing, but I'm telling you, man, value for value music is a huge, huge, huge freaking deal.51900:33:24,000 --> 00:33:29,000I'm going to be promoting it more. I'm talking about it more online. I want to just post about it more.52000:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000And like people can get, can really get involved with that stuff, man.52100:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,000And that's how I want to like pick the music for my movie, for my new animated short film.52200:33:38,000 --> 00:33:44,000I want the music to lead it. So, you know, I'm trying to get more artists on the show.52300:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,000Like, absolutely. I want to interview more, more, more musicians. I want to talk about their vibe.52400:33:50,000 --> 00:33:59,000I want to see, I want to get just their perspective, man. Like I want to be one of the first podcasters to talk to the artists about Bitcoin and about value for value.52500:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000I don't see that happening anywhere else. I don't know where that's going down.52600:34:02,000 --> 00:34:08,000So I want to, I want America Plus to be that where the artists come and talk about the innovation that they're doing.52700:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,000Like that sounds so hyped. That sounds so hyped, dude.52800:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,000And then along with that, I'm using their, I want to use their music in my movies.52900:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,000So that's where I'm at in the creative process for Magic Mushroom Fun Time.53000:34:21,000 --> 00:34:27,000I'm still getting familiar with what type of AI will be best to help me make the images.53100:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,000And what's the good thing about that is that that's always developing. That's always evolving.53200:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000It's getting better and better every week.53300:34:34,000 --> 00:34:41,000So there's going to be some nice updates coming soon. It's coming out Christmas 2023, Christmas Day 2023.53400:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000And I think I got a lot of time on my hands and I'm excited for it, man.53500:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,000Using the value for value music is going to be a way for me to, first of all, just talk about the music on the podcast,53600:34:52,000 --> 00:35:00,000get them in that value loop. And then when it comes time to post a movie, I will also have value for value avenues for that.53700:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,000You will absolutely, absolutely be able to boost the movie.53800:35:04,000 --> 00:35:10,000That is, it's already baked in. It's happening, dude. It's not, it's no question.53900:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,000And I want them to be a part of that split, dude. They got to be a part of that split.54000:35:15,000 --> 00:35:22,000And I want that to be my innovation. I want to figure out how I can do movie value for value.54100:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,000Movie, like value for value TV shows, value for value movies, or something like that.54200:35:27,000 --> 00:35:32,000Just something similar like that. Some sort of a system, man.54300:35:32,000 --> 00:35:40,000And that's my kooky idea. That's my crazy idea.54400:35:40,000 --> 00:35:47,000Continuing with Bitcoin and business. Bitcoin and business, man. Bitcoin and business.54500:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000I got to get out of debt. Is anyone else in debt? Are you in debt? I'm in debt.54600:35:52,000 --> 00:36:01,000I feel like we're all in debt. I keep seeing these things saying Americans haven't paid off their credit card bills in the last eight months,54700:36:01,000 --> 00:36:07,000or something like that. It's been some, there's a record number of people who are not paying off their debt,54800:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000because they just don't have the money. And so they just stopped paying.54900:36:10,000 --> 00:36:17,000And so they're just allowing the interest to build up. And it's definitely not adding any value to the economy.55000:36:17,000 --> 00:36:28,000It's definitely not adding any healthiness. But where the mushrooms led me to my own personal financial well-being,55100:36:28,000 --> 00:36:37,000not only am I thinking about how am I investing, promoting the show, and how am I investing in building my community,55200:36:37,000 --> 00:36:45,000but I'm also critical about my personal finances. And I'm in a lot of debt. I have a bunch of credit card debt.55300:36:45,000 --> 00:36:53,000And the reason why I'm sharing this is, as we're moving through this transition, as I'm transitioning into a new vibe of the show,55400:36:53,000 --> 00:37:03,000a new situation with value for value, as the value flow is shifting, I'm also making a conscious push to figure out ways to pay off my debt.55500:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,000And I want value for value to be a part of that as well. I'm not asking you to pay off my debt.55600:37:08,000 --> 00:37:17,000What I'm saying is, I will continue to put out things, and I will continue to put effort and put what I think is value,55700:37:17,000 --> 00:37:24,000put value into Twitter, put value into the avenues where I know I can make money, just put more effort in at work.55800:37:24,000 --> 00:37:32,000That's all value. And hopefully, I don't know, man, a raise comes. Maybe a big boost comes. Maybe a PayPal comes.55900:37:32,000 --> 00:37:43,000Maybe I'm able to flip something. Something I have turns valuable somehow. Something, anything, dude.56000:37:43,000 --> 00:37:52,000Value for value. It's an international lifestyle. So I'm open to everything, not just the money. It's some opportunity.56100:37:52,000 --> 00:38:00,000The value for value, I'm seeking an opportunity with it. I'm seeking an opportunity to pay off my debt. That's what it is.56200:38:00,000 --> 00:38:06,000That's what I want value for value to give me, an opportunity. And that's a different vibe too,56300:38:06,000 --> 00:38:14,000because I don't think any other podcaster would be talking about their credit card debt. But I want to be upfront about that,56400:38:14,000 --> 00:38:23,000because this is America Plus, and this is where we talk about innovation. And if I want to be a Bitcoiner, if I think Bitcoin is innovative,56500:38:23,000 --> 00:38:32,000I, as an individual, am just holding myself back with that debt. And so I'm being a bit hypocritical when I lean into Bitcoin,56600:38:32,000 --> 00:38:39,000but I have way more debt than I have Bitcoin. You know what I mean? It just goes back to my original numbers.56700:38:39,000 --> 00:38:49,000I've spent way more money promoting the show than I have made money. So, and it's not an automatic bad thing, but it's not a good thing either.56800:38:49,000 --> 00:38:57,000So, that's just where it's at, man. I have a lot more debt than what my life shows for. You know what I mean?56900:38:57,000 --> 00:39:03,000So, I'm trying to make that move. I'm trying to make that transition. There's good stuff happening there, man.57000:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000There's good stuff happening there. I don't have too much to say on that. I just want to pay off my debt. I just want to openly say that.57100:39:08,000 --> 00:39:16,000That's important to me. It's super important to me. So, maybe you can help me out there. Maybe you can figure that out.57200:39:16,000 --> 00:39:25,000Whatever, man. The last sap. It's a value for value thing, folks. We are now heading on into the boost, ladies and gentlemen.57300:39:25,000 --> 00:39:35,000America Plus, value for value. If you like what's going on here, if you like the transparency, if you like the vibes here, if you like the silly words,57400:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,000then throw me a boost. Give me some value. Head on over to valueforvalue.info for more info.57500:39:40,000 --> 00:39:46,000Go to valueforvalue.info for more info. Then download the Fountain.fm app. It's the best way to support the show.57600:39:46,000 --> 00:39:52,000Fountain is one of my favorite apps when it comes to sending value to people. I really like it, so I think you should get it, too.57700:39:52,000 --> 00:39:59,000I'm going to be reading some boosts from last week from number 79. I'm sorry, from number 80, Hero Vibes.57800:39:59,000 --> 00:40:07,000Number 80, Hero Vibes. Talked about the fourth turning book. Got a few things here. The first one.57900:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,000So, all these people saw value in what I shared about the book last week, and you can share some, too.58000:40:12,000 --> 00:40:19,000This first one comes from Automatopeia. They send in 100 satoshis. Thank you, Automatopeia.58100:40:19,000 --> 00:40:24,000They say, the fourth turning sounds interesting. I'll check it out.58200:40:24,000 --> 00:40:30,000Creating a Nostr account is kind of like creating a bitcoin wallet. Your account will work with any client.58300:40:30,000 --> 00:40:38,000You have a public address and a password. BTC Sessions on YouTube is a good tutorial on setting up your account58400:40:38,000 --> 00:40:46,000and linking it to your lightning wallet. On iOS, download Damus or Iris. On Android, download Amethyst or Snort.58500:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000Basically, you put bitcoin with anything, and all of a sudden, that is more efficient.58600:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000Automatopeia, thank you very much. Yeah, I'm going into it. I'm diving deep.58700:40:55,000 --> 00:41:05,000The next one is from Kyron Down at Mirror Mortals Podcast. What up, Kyron? He sends in 5,492 satoshis.58800:41:05,000 --> 00:41:13,000Thank you, Kyron. Jesus, thank you. He says, awesome episode, Cole. These books were on my maybe to read list.58900:41:13,000 --> 00:41:19,000And whilst a review doesn't replace reading it, I got a lot of value from this. Have saved me some time59000:41:19,000 --> 00:41:24,000and given me some knowledge I didn't have before. Keep on rockin'. Yeah!59100:41:24,000 --> 00:41:31,000And now, as the French say, it is time for Le Boost. Kyron, you're the man. Thank you so much, dude.59200:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,000You keep on rockin', dude. Keep on rockin' in Australia.59300:41:35,000 --> 00:41:46,000The next one comes from Joel W. He sends in two boosts. Both of them are for 3,333 sats.59400:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,000I don't know the name for that. It's just like a lucky sat. It's 33333.59500:41:51,000 --> 00:41:58,000He says, I've listened to a good breakdown of The Fourth Turning before, but wasn't aware of the second book.59600:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000I think I got to check it out now. Yeah, you do. Boosting is loving.59700:42:02,000 --> 00:42:07,000And then the next one from Joel, he says, Nostr is easy to get going. Like the other comment says,59800:42:07,000 --> 00:42:15,000check the BTC Sessions how-to. And once you set up is easy. If a boomer-ass Gen Xer like me can figure it out,59900:42:15,000 --> 00:42:22,000you'll be fine. And should the opportunity arise, yes, we shall feast on the finest real beef money can buy.60000:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,000And some micro-dosing sounds lovely too. No doubt about that. Yes, sir!60100:42:27,000 --> 00:42:34,000Let's celebrate that, dude. Let's go for it. Do I have another one somewhere? That's my favorite one.60200:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,000That's my favorite one for sure. Joel, thank you to everyone who gave me a boost there. That's phenomenal.60300:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,000I don't know where the sounds on the iPads are. The pads on my soundboard, I always screw up.60400:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,000So I'm sorry. I always want a vibe and then I hit the wrong...whatever. Value for value.60500:42:52,000 --> 00:42:58,000Head on over to Fountain, send me a boost, send me some Satoshis, or if you want to hang out with me,60600:42:58,000 --> 00:43:06,000then hang out with me, dude. Listen to all my episodes. If you want to give your time, talent, or your treasure,60700:43:06,000 --> 00:43:14,000that's what value for value is. This is a new system that creatives can get involved with and they can build60800:43:14,000 --> 00:43:23,000their own name to it, dude. This is a real evolution of creating things online. This is a real system60900:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,000that you can get involved with and it's all through the power of Bitcoin, dude. It's all through the power61000:43:27,000 --> 00:43:33,000of the Lightning Network and I'm just grateful for that, dude. I'm grateful for Bitcoin, I'm grateful for61100:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,000what it provides me, and I'm grateful for the opportunities that it will give me, you know?61200:43:38,000 --> 00:43:46,000I don't want to put any religious stuff on Bitcoin, but there's also just this understanding of Bitcoin's good.61300:43:46,000 --> 00:43:53,000And if I lean into Bitcoin more, then hopefully it will return to me. So we'll see how that goes, dude.61400:43:53,000 --> 00:44:02,000I feel successful. I feel successful. I'm just confident about that, dude. I'm successful Barbie right now.61500:44:02,000 --> 00:44:09,000I'm... She and Barbie was so funny because there's like a Barbie for everything. In reality, I'm Ken.61600:44:09,000 --> 00:44:15,000I'm really just Ken, dude. I'm just Ken. They made a whole joke about that. He's just Ken.61700:44:15,000 --> 00:44:25,000But Ken likes Bitcoin and Ken wants to do better with Bitcoin and Ken wants you to help him with the value,61800:44:25,000 --> 00:44:32,000with Bitcoin. Oh, yeah. Tell me what you think about that, folks. Do you support Value for Value?61900:44:32,000 --> 00:44:39,000Do you like anything that I just said? Are you into anything that I'm doing? Please follow me on Twitter.62000:44:39,000 --> 00:44:45,000Please follow me on Noster. I'm setting those up this week. I'll definitely tweet that out.62100:44:45,000 --> 00:44:52,000I'll definitely... I will get the word out when I have the Noster. Absolutely.62200:44:52,000 --> 00:44:57,000Tell me what you think about my ideas. Please, just help me out here. That's what I want the community to do.62300:44:57,000 --> 00:45:06,000I need the community to help me out navigating the right way to think about business and to think about utilizing Bitcoin.62400:45:06,000 --> 00:45:14,000That's really what I'm putting out here. And I think it's possible to grow on each other because we're so young.62500:45:14,000 --> 00:45:24,000We're so early. We're so like, this is brand new, dude. We're going to fail. We're going to have to just be okay with failing once in a while.62600:45:24,000 --> 00:45:29,000And even though I've spent more money than I've made, I feel like I've learned a lot more.62700:45:29,000 --> 00:45:35,000So maybe that's where the value is for myself. I've learned a lot more about myself. I've learned a lot more about podcasting.62800:45:35,000 --> 00:45:43,000I've seen more doors have opened in terms of opportunities that I think are available to me for podcasting.62900:45:43,000 --> 00:45:51,000And for continuing the show. So if you want to just see the continuous development of that, if you want to be a part of the growth of that,63000:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,000you know, help me out. Send me some money. I got the PayPal open. I need to be better about the PayPal.63100:45:56,000 --> 00:46:03,000But if you want to send me any dollars, there's a PayPal. If you want to send me some Toshis, send me some Toshis on Fountain, dude.63200:46:03,000 --> 00:46:11,000That's the best way. So that's the Sasslinger, folks. This has been Cole McCormick63300:46:11,000 --> 00:46:20,000with the last sat, folks. Can you believe that? It's a beautiful time to be alive. That's America Plus, bitch. Stay free.
