Unknown:
Aloha, love tribe. Happy Friday. Happy birthday to DJ Valerie b love. It's my birthday, and I chose to do an extra podcast this week with somebody who I had the privilege and pleasure of talking to yesterday about how he is helping people out of violence, out of oppression, and out of hopelessness. And this is Erin Murphy, the founder of Murph's Life. Thanks, Erin, for taking time to talk to me today. I know you and I had two seconds of technical glitches, but we're here. And, thanks for taking time to talk to the audience about what you're doing.
[00:01:13] Unknown:
Thank you. Thank you for inviting me, and and, happy birthday.
[00:01:17] Unknown:
Thank you. Really cool. Like, you think about, like, birthday presents. Right? Like, in the old days, you're like, oh my gosh. I hope I get this little thing or this little thing. And, like, for me now as an an elder, my thing is I wanna help other people get their things. Yeah. You know? And I feel like that's something that you're aligned with in what you're doing. Can you help everybody understand who you are, how you got here? Obviously, as a Bitcoiner, you and I have a lot of things in common, but you also have, like, such a huge backstory of how you got here to create Murph's life in this beautiful dream in El Salvador to help other people get out of poverty and get out of violence.
[00:02:01] Unknown:
Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, basically, my name is Aaron Murphy, and, I'm just a regular dude. You know? I never came. I, I've lived a I feel like I've already lived, like, 10 lives. You know? I grew up in Canada, and we moved all over Canada. Parents were in and out of work, and we lived in my grandma's basement. We lived in a little trailer park, and we moved the trailer to the outskirts of of an indigenous community in way in Northern Alberta called Horse Lake. And, then from there, we went to The States when I was a teenager. So I've always I was kinda born into this life of constantly moving and traveling.
And in The States, I lived in Utah, California, Texas, all over the place. And and now I'm here traveling. I've lived in about 12 Latin countries, and right now mostly between El Salvador and Ecuador, and that's where we have three farms now. And and now we, we we run three food farms. We're building a pretty large community here in El Salvador, and we have six safe homes, women shelters in in South America where we work with the police. So women come. It's usually attempted murder or, incest within indigenous communities deep in the Amazon where there's a lot of alcohol problems. So these women and children will, yeah, they come with a lot of, emotional damage, I guess, a lot of traumas, and we put them into our six month program.
And we have local therapists, psychiatrists, and we teach them self love is the big thing, and we teach them how to work at the same time. So we've taught people how to cook, how to sew, how to make wedding cakes. And, after the six month program, we move them into a home, help them get new beds, a stove, a little business going. And so far, it's 10 out of 10. It does a really, really good job by us hyper focusing on these women. And it's expensive, so that's why we're now building the engine to this airplane. We're building Casa Conejo, which is our our large community in in El Salvador, and we're building a whole micro economy around this based around tourism, hotels, restaurant, a store, bibero, little coffee shop, little bar, and it's a place where people can come and and have tourism and know that two things.
One is profit share for all of the workers so they can have an amazing salary, and then number two is back into the ecosystem for us to continue our work with our shelters and food farms around the world.
[00:04:40] Unknown:
But so let's talk let's let's take a step back. Like, first of all, ultra high five. I can't wait to meet you in person. I'm gonna be there in the first week of May. I'll be there with, you know, Bob with House of Life and Mikasa Kids. I wanna come visit you. Hopefully, are you gonna be in town in the May? Probably. I'm usually here, like, 70% of the time. Okay. Cool. So, you know, I I wanna come there. How the heck did you turn into because, like, your your backstory, your about me page was, like, I was struggling with partying and drinking and doing all these things. And then COVID happened, and then all of a sudden, I had 200 to my name, and I gave it to somebody else.
Like, how did you have this kinda come to love, come to Jesus, come to God, come to supporting others moment? Because most people are not doing what you've done. Most people are just like, fuck. I gotta go get a little bit more so that I can pay my bills and take care of things. But you did a completely different timeline. You chose to go do service. You chose to go care for people who couldn't care for themselves. How did that happen? Like, what was something that happened in your heart, your spirit, your soul?
[00:05:58] Unknown:
I mean, it's it's a once you hit rock bottom, you know, there's nowhere else to go. So sometimes you just have to laugh and be like, you know, they can't get any worse than this. And, you know, that happened around, like, 2016, '20 '17. I, I I threw concerts before. I threw a lot of parties and and music festivals.
[00:06:18] Unknown:
No way. I didn't know that. I didn't see that on your, like, bio. So, okay, we got 12, dude.
[00:06:23] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. So I used to throw these things called the rooftop series in Downtown Salt Lake. We're running out big. We're we're the NBA teams would come in. We'd we'd do do shows there, just concerts. And but mostly it's just like I lived every day was a house party at someone's house or some bar. So it was Taco Tuesday or some some shit. There's a theme there's a theme to drink each day. Yeah. And and my body just kinda gave out, and I started getting really bad anxiety. And and at this time, I'm, like, coming up to my thirties. And I had a few friends, and not, like, close, close friends, but, I mean, you know, thirty, forty people that worked around me that are promoters or just people I know that are overdosing. And, you know, a lot of people are dying, and I'm like, shit. Am I gonna be in my thirties, forties, fifties doing this shit? Like, what what else is there to do? You know?
And so and then at the same time, like, my body just hit a point where I couldn't party anymore. And I think it was, like, my soul telling me that that this isn't your purpose, so it gave me some pretty extreme anxieties and and and, panic attacks. And so after I went sober for a year, I decided to go, decided to I was gonna say, Bitcoining. Backpacking.
[00:07:35] Unknown:
Bitcoin back yeah. Backpacking. Yeah. Do it.
[00:07:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, alright. I'm gonna go, I'm just gonna go for, like, a month, And then that turned into three months. Wow. And then, you know, and then COVID broke out, and I had a small window where I think I could have went back, you know, to The States, but something was just like, I'm gonna stay here. You know? And then and then it kinda got scary. It was like, wow. There's no more planes. There's no taxis. There's nothing. And I'm just stuck in a small community. You know? And, and, you know, I'm at this time, I'm sober. And so it's a different mindset now of of of scarcity. Because it's no longer like scarcity when when everyone's working around you and you're like a homeless person, you gotta feed yourself. This is like the whole world is stuck, and the whole world can't really work. You know? And so it was a different freedom. I kinda felt like Aladdin. You know what I mean? Where I'm just like this free spirited running around with, like, a with a monkey on my back. You know? Like, Just minus the stealing bread part. But, I had a place to stay. I was staying in a in a Venezuelan, like, refugee camp, basically. It was pretty shitty apartment with, like, multiple apartments sharing one toilet with no toilet seat.
And I but and I was staying with a grandma as well for the most part, but I felt really good. Like, I felt a a peace. You know? I felt joy hanging out with my new friends every night, and everyone was in the same situation. You know? And I was sleeping on an old mattress we kinda found by the dump. You know? One of the Venezuelans in the streets don't want the mattress. You know? It's pretty gross. And so I remember I was just, like, laying there this one night, and I didn't really have any money. And this is, like, right when I was uploading on TikTok, which is where where all of our stuff kinda took off. You know? And it's, like, like, two, three in the morning, I just have, like, this ecstasy come into my body, this this really good, powerful emotion, the spirit kinda coming over me.
And, that's when I knew everything would change. And and from there, it was, like, the next month, there's, like, a hundred thousand dollars in our Venmo account. All the videos were going viral, and I couldn't pull the money out fast enough. At that time, Venmo only let me take out, like, like, 4 or $5. I don't remember the exact numbers. Like, 4 or $5 a month. And, but I was making three, four times the amount of that. So I was, like, stuck to the amount of donations that I could spend, and it just kinda kept growing and growing and growing. You know? So that's kinda how this all evolved.
[00:10:17] Unknown:
Oh my god. I have 10,000 questions for you about, you know, the spiritual part of this when you had this awakening and then also the, economic part where you're just like, wait a minute. I can't get the things that people gave me that is my or mine, which are called donations, fiat, whatever, and get them out. So let me ask you this, Erin. As somebody who's been through, you know, oh, a few dark nights of the soul. Right? Like Yeah. How did you how did you know that it was time? Like, you were in this like, I can't do this anymore. Because a lot of people, Erin, as you know, and I'm sure people that you work with, they just check out, and they're like, I'm done.
I'm jumping off the the the end of the planet. Here's an edge point. I'm killing myself. I'm committing suicide. How did you get to the place where you didn't do that?
[00:11:23] Unknown:
I mean, every when when you're at the bottom rock bottom, everyone everyone goes through this. You know? When someone dies in your family Yeah. Loved one dies. A lot of people too, it's like your identity is lost when you lose your job. Your identity, dude, is the identity.
[00:11:40] Unknown:
I know. I was talking to someone about this earlier today. So talk about your identity. What was your identity before and after your transformation into Aaron who was a partier and Aaron who is the fucking Murph's life dude who's saving people
[00:11:55] Unknown:
in their new life. You know, the identity of, like, oh, I can throw parties and and and, I threw I could throw a party and we would go to a casino, and I would just you know? I would throw $30,000 at my friends, or I would go gambling and spend it all in a casino. And I wouldn't care. I love that freedom of, like, well, I can throw another party, make $20, 3 grand. You know? And but as you get older, you know, I got a DUI and my friends are getting married and and, like, that didn't last forever. You know? And that's that's an identity death.
Was like, I'm no longer this kid anymore who just who's just very irresponsible with money and irresponsible with with his body. And so you have to allow that to die. And you go through a time of confusion. Like, for me, it was a fear, a deep fear of, like, I chose not to go to college because I was doing college parties. You know? I was like, oh, why do I have to go get into debt when I can make more money than some people make in a year in a night, you know, and and drinking, having fun at the same time? Yeah. So once that ends, it's like, what am I gonna do? And and you start feeling hopeless. You know? I got I had, like, credit card debt and owing the worst is I mean, who gives a shit about credit card debt? The worst is when you owe friends money. You know? And then they wanna hit you back, and then that really eats that Yeah. Yeah. Theme.
And a lot of people who you say jump off a bridge are in debt. You know? Debt is a debt is something that drives people mad, and it it eats away at the soul. It makes you feel like, you know, you're a nobody. And when you feel like you're a nobody and you want to be a somebody, you know, that I think is what makes people go nuts. Like, when they don't feel love and that love is that disconnect from God. So when you're at rock bottom and you no longer know what your identity is and you don't feel love for yourself, you have to call upon a higher power.
[00:14:12] Unknown:
And so for you, like, let me ask you this, Aaron, because a lot of us are spiritual, not religious. Right? Like, a lot, you know, in in this, world that we're in. Like, did you have resistance to calling in on that higher power?
[00:14:29] Unknown:
No. I mean, everyone grows up from some type of background. You know? Every if I was born in India, you know, maybe I'd be Hindu, or maybe if I was Asia or if I was born in the Bible Belt, I I would be raised Baptist. But I was raised in Northern Alberta by two Mormon parents. You know? So I grew up LDS. No way. And that's a that's a strong base of my of, I guess, my my spiritual upbringing. You know? Mhmm. I did a mission in Brazil. You know, the elders, two teenagers walking around. And, so I had that as a base, but then as soon as I got back from from the mission, I went back to Utah and and just started partying. You know? Like, slowly, like the frog that boils as as a lot of people do. You know? And I and I think not just religious. Like, The United States,
[00:15:22] Unknown:
everywhere, the culture is binge drinking. Like, you go out on the weekend, and you just get hammered. You know? Because you do well, you do that on a Tuesday night. And then on Friday night, you make it even more. Right? And Yeah. If you're not in that club, you know, as a salesperson, as a biz dev person, as anything, you're in this, like, how the heck am I gonna expand my social?
[00:15:50] Unknown:
Yeah. I don't hear the audio. I can't hear your audio. Can you hear mine? Yeah. I just I just can't hear your audio.
[00:16:17] Unknown:
Just talk. You talk. Ah, there we go. Blah blah blah. Okay. You talk. I know I just had, like, a weird a whole bunch of things came up and says, like, you're disconnected.
[00:16:29] Unknown:
It's a sign, man.
[00:16:31] Unknown:
I know. Right? It's a reality. Do you know who Scott Harrison is of Charity Water? Yeah. Right? Like, you you two remind me of each other a lot. Haven't met either of you in person yet, but your young men who had to go on this journey of self destruction. Me too. Just don't don't, you know, I'm I'm the self destruction queen. And then all of a sudden, you had this kind of awakening, you know, where it's like, well, is this really all there is? Like, really? I'm gonna go party, have sex with a bunch of chicks, do drugs, do alcohol, do this, make money, and you just feel this, like, empty carcass of your soul, You know? And then all of a sudden, you get this kind of, like, hey. Guess what?
There's something better. And, you know, and it's God's spirit universe talking to you. And so I think it's, like, so cool that you didn't just get that message. Aaron, you did it. Like, you did it. You did it not only, like, well, I'm just gonna donate $20 a month to the local charity and, okay, I'm off we go. I'm gonna have my beer barbecue weekends thing. Like, you fucking dedicated your sorry. I curse a lot, so welcome to my world. You showed up and you bought property and you got investors, and you're like, how the heck can I make this world a better place? And that that young gentleman, Marco, with, like, no arms, you know, and the the segment of his arm, you got him a home.
Who the heck does that?
[00:18:18] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Hundreds a hundred there's hundreds of people like Marcus that we give homes to, and every home has a business. You know? But just one one small correction is we we have zero investors in this. Zero.
[00:18:31] Unknown:
I'm not saying you have investors, but, like, you're you've you've turned your vision into something where people could like, I look at government. I look at business. Your resource allocators. That's our job. Yeah. You know, as an entrepreneur. Our job is to create a funnel and say, hey. We're gonna take these resources. We're gonna turn them into something good. You have turned the resources that have come to you into something beautiful, like, so beautiful. This young man, Marco Yeah. Marco said, like, are you kidding me? He was about to jump off the the planet.
[00:19:11] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. And there was divine intervention with him. I think a lot of people have divine intervention.
[00:19:19] Unknown:
Everyone does. We all have divine intervention. You know? And, like, you're you're you're an execute Aaron, like, I've been following you for a while, and the fact that I got to have, like, a a little chat with you yesterday, and then I'm like, well, you know, if there's anything I can do to help Merch Live, and you're like, yeah. I can do an interview tomorrow, and you just said yes to me. I'm small potatoes, dude. Like, I'm I'm not Joe Rogan. I'm not, you know, these big people. Like, you're somebody who says yes, and then you make it happen.
Yeah. You make it happen. There are not a lot of men like you out there. Yeah.
[00:20:01] Unknown:
I don't I don't think there's anything such as small potatoes. You know? And Internet is so fickle. It's like in 2021, we were getting hundreds of millions of views a month on all of our platforms, 2022. And now that I'm so focused on building farms, it's like you leave your you stop uploading for three months, and then everyone forgets about you. And and it's totally fine. That's that's actually beautiful and amazing because there's so much content being spit out every single day. It's easy to forget. It's easy to, like, fill in those, oh, and I found, like, 10 new influencers. You know? It just humans are humans, and none of this Internet shit matters. None of it fucking matters. You know? Like, none of the views matter. None of what matters to me is is, you know, sometimes people so I'll I'll is raising money. I love that. You know? That's the only way I care about, you know, views is I can buy more farms.
We can plant more trees. Fuck yeah. Like, I would I love to get views that get millions of tens of millions of views, but, like, the video with Marcos, like, I'm I'm barely even in that video for the most part. Like, most a lot of people don't recognize me, but they'll know the videos. And and that's kinda the the cool thing. You know? It's just I don't know. It's just something I think about all the time. Everyone's just human. We're all the same, and then one day we're gonna die, and everyone's gonna forget about all of us. And what a beautiful thing that we just return back to our spirit. Yeah. It's like life is just like a little
[00:21:28] Unknown:
in pairs. Like, literally, like, you look at the glitter on my little eyes here so I can cover up my dark circles, there's one speck of the glitter, and that's your life. Yeah. That's it. It's like this tiny little bloop. Well, so, but Okay. I discovered, obviously, yesterday about you. You have 6,000,000 followers on TikTok. I don't have a TikTok account. I had a TikTok account years ago, and my daughter was like, mom, you're too old. You shouldn't have TikTok. You're fucking weird and old. And I was like, okay. I won't have TikTok. You have 6,000,000 people. I don't even care if 5,000,000 of them are bots.
1,000,000 of them are humans, but I'm guessing that way more than that is the ratio. I think about Martin Luther King. I think about Bob Marley. I think about John Lennon. I think about, Gandhi. I think about Mother Teresa. If they had 6,000,000 people who had somebody who's gonna go get that thing on their their feed, how the heck would they navigate their social media? How would they navigate their communication strategy? And so just for those people listening who are activists, change makers, warriors who care about making the world a better place, like, what would you tell them? Because when you see those numbers as somebody who's humble like myself or other folks, we're just like, how the heck did you how did that happen? You know? And because, like, I have a good message to share, and I wanna tell people to love themselves and have self love and bring each other into the conversation with care.
Like, what would you tell people who are listening who want to make the world a better place? How to be a social media or media, rock star like you? Because you are. Like, those are big numbers, dude.
[00:23:34] Unknown:
Yeah. Anyone can anyone can can get big numbers on the Internet now. It's like I feel like you're Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna argue with you. Video. You know? And that's the cool thing about social media is you don't have to just be There's really no such thing as celebrities anymore. Because you look back in the nineties, there's, like, Metallica, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson. Those are celebrities around. But now it's like, there are millions of micro celebrities that that you know, there's not such thing as, like, the hairdo of the the eighties, the hairdo of the there's, like, so much freaking music and hairdos. And so so what I'm saying is, like, whatever your personality is, so if you wanna if you wanna do something, one, it has to be authentic. Of course. And and as soon as someone's truly, truly authentic and the second thing is is, like, well, what's trending? What am I gonna do? Like, that doesn't, you know, that doesn't mean anything. You don't have to follow trends. You don't have to follow you know? Just figure out what you're really truly passionate about and make content around that. And and now practice making content and have fun with it until like, even now, you can look at, like, trending music, trending things, but have to do it with what you're in line with. You know? Like, one of my buddies, he's a Japanese guy, but lived the most of his life in The States. And now he's been living in, I think, Honduras for, like, fifteen years.
And he you know, very small on I remember seeing him in 2021. No. 2020. '20 '20 '1. My my girlfriend and I went to go stay with him, and he, like, built this tiny compound. He built schools for people. His name is Shin. And then, you know, he's like, I wanna figure out how to build more schools. So he does this run all over Honduras and just it exploded. Now he just ran over all of Central America, like, from the border of The United States all through Mexico, had a van following with his team. He's doing, like, a live. And dude's making, like, 5 to $10,000 a day.
He runs by, like, groceries, and everyone sponsors them. He gives them checks and, like, thousands is, like, freaking you know? What's the guy's name in the movie in the nineties with, Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump. Yeah. He just finished his last Exactly. I know. I was like, as soon as you said that, I'm like, Ron Forrest. Run.
[00:25:49] Unknown:
Yeah. It's just inspiring
[00:25:51] Unknown:
millions of children in The Americas right now. Millions. You know?
[00:25:56] Unknown:
So cool. But but the let me ask you this, though, because, like, again, like, for me personally, you know, I'm more in the, like, spiritual development and personal growth, and, of course, I'm a hardcore Bitcoiner psychopath. Like, there's not a lot of people who wanna listen to a woman talk about money and talk about Bitcoin and talk about spiritual stuff. You know? Mel Robbins. Well, Tony Robbins, but he's not a Bitcoiner. And he's Mel Robbins. You know? Well, I love Mel Robbins. I do. I I love Let Them. I love her new book, Go Mel. It's so good. She's so good. But, it's like it's so narrow. You know? And so I guess and it's not about me. It's it's it's literally like, Erin, it's not about me. It's about, like, your initiatives.
It's about the initiatives of Murph's life. It's about the initiatives of the house of life. It's about the initiatives of Bitcoin kids. It's about the initiatives of BTC, in Africa where they're teaching all these women, these young women about how to be self sovereign, understand what custody looks like. Because guess what? I don't know if you know this, Erin. If you're a woman in certain countries in Africa, if your husband dies, guess what happens to your property?
[00:27:18] Unknown:
I don't know. Just guess. Goes to the brother. Goes to the family
[00:27:23] Unknown:
of the husband. Yeah. So you are absolutely f u c k e d, and you don't have anything. So you and your children are at the whim of the husband's family. So if you did this thing called life and I have a, you know, falafel stand or whatever and you make things happen and you're putting money in your, you know, account, Anything that happens if your spouse leaves the planet goes to the family. It doesn't go to you.
[00:27:56] Unknown:
Even if it's on both names on a title? There's no title because guess what?
[00:28:00] Unknown:
As a woman, you have no rights to a title. You have zero property rights as a woman. And so I didn't know that. I knew nothing about this, you know, until I became a Bitcoiner. And I started talking to Lorraine Morris Marcel with BTC data. And she was just like, Val. And, you know, one of the podcasts she did with me, she's like, do you know that that's what happens to women and women's property rights? So property rights, we take it so much for granted here in our little privileged first world. But, like, imagine if you're somebody who's, like, raising a couple kids from an abusive partner, and then that abusive partner dies. And then now you've gotta deal with their family, and they're the only ones who are gonna tell you, like, all the things that you did for the last ten years is gonna be subject to their discretionary, you know, okay. You can have some money for milk today or whatever the fuck.
Could you fuck that shit? Like, Bitcoin creates an opportunity for people to have property rights away from the state, away from the church, away from all of it. You know? And I never knew that. I didn't I I always I I don't know. I just thought, like, well, if you have something, it's yours. That's not how it works. Yeah. Not how it works. You know, and so I think what you're doing in Central And South America is super important in, you know, having these kind of almost like pen pal relationships, you know, with the folks over here in Central And South America to the folks over in Africa and just being like, yeah, we're doing this thing. We got a lemonade stand or we did like a, you know, the pupusa stand, or we're teaching girls how to do hair, or we're teaching girls how to do, like, freedom funnels with Russell Brunson, you know? And it's like, we want communication to happen between the people who are the least, favored in society, which are young girls and who've been trafficked and who are pregnant, you know? And, I don't know. I'm I'm just gonna keep I can go on for this forever, Aaron.
[00:30:26] Unknown:
Yeah. It's a rough subject. You know?
[00:30:29] Unknown:
It's a super rough subject. You know? And, like, Ryan Mata was on our call earlier. We're doing this whole, like, project to try to help people get out of, out of financial slavery, whether you're a kid or whether you're an adult. You know? But, like, for for you, Erin, what I wanna ask you is, coming back. We got step one. We get people out of abuse. We get them out of slavery. We get them out of sexual, you know, sex slavery, you know? Step two, all right, now you're stable. Okay? You're here. You're gonna have your baby. We're gonna eat healthy. We're gonna get you, you know, whatever you need. Step three is where I think you come in, where I think you and Murph's life come in. What happens when these girls become 18?
What do they do? Where are they gonna go? You gonna put them out on the street? Here you go. Have a nice life. Like, I feel like Merced Life is a better life than putting them on the street. And so when we were talking yesterday and you were showing me the, you know, the overview and everything of your place, it's like, how can we put these wonderful humans who are on the pathway to recovery and survivorship and thriving, how can we put them in a place that feels good? And I feel like Murph's life is a place for that.
[00:32:14] Unknown:
Yeah. It's kind of a complicated, kind of a complicated subject. You know? Yeah. It can work and it can work and it can't work, and and I'll tell you why. I've brought people in, and, we brought about we use a number probably around, like, seven or eight families that we've brought in. And none of them stayed. None of them you know?
[00:32:41] Unknown:
Where'd they come from? I'm just I'm being devil's advocate, so bear with me if I ask questions and they're uncomfortable. Just like where did they come from?
[00:32:54] Unknown:
From wherever they were originally from. You know? What? So I'll give you an example. We, my back just had, like, a weird zing because I'm, like, laying Okay. Charged. So let me how do I put this into place? Right? Let's say you are really fat and you're out of shape. You know? I'm and I'm not in shape.
[00:33:21] Unknown:
Oh, dude. I'm gonna kiss that belly button. Come on. Let's go.
[00:33:26] Unknown:
You know? I I wish I was, but I you know, there's bad habits. Let me see. For example, I like to chew on this cigar when I get really stressed, and I I I but I don't smoke it, but I know it's bad for me. When you are sexually abused, when you go through any kind of trauma in life, it's very hard with all the therapy and everything. And and not even just that. Like so we took a family. We built them a beautiful home. We offered them jobs. We gave them four wheelers and transportation. We've given cars, and they always go back to what they knew. They go back to their environment.
[00:34:11] Unknown:
It's called the d n n. F n. Default mode network. DMN. Default mode network. And so that's normal. It doesn't matter if you are in El Salvador in The United States. Like people will go to the default mode network, DMF. And so that's that's a tough one, dude. But it doesn't mean you give up.
[00:34:41] Unknown:
Yeah. My my our, our property in in, we I mean, we offer jobs in multiple countries. Right? We have jobs in The United States where the people work. We have jobs. We have, like you know, soon we're gonna have another 70 employees hired in the next, like, twenty to forty days here on our our In El Salvador. We have, yeah, we have employees in Ecuador. And to get a good employee, you know, is usually you have to go through five to 10 people before you get one person. An agent person. And and and so that's kind of a that's what we're finding the hard thing about is, like, bringing them in. That's a lot of money to bring them in. And then really you know?
So this is what I'm working with. We we focus that so, like, in in Ecuador, for example, we have a six month program where we teach them self love, and this has been a 10 out of 10. Right? Like, where they don't go back to the abuser, but we set them up with their own thing. Because before when I started, a lot of businesses just kept going out of business because I'd be like, oh, I wanna build them a coffee shop. Oh, I wanna build them. I wanna make her buy my car, and there'll be a Uber driver. Or and they're like, I don't know what to do. I don't know. You know? But if you can figure out what people really truly enjoy and love, you'd be surprised. You know? Like, a lot of people are like, I really wanna sew. You know? I want my own sewing machine. And, oh, okay. So we buy him a sewing machine, and we teach them how to sew. And now they can put up a little thing to, like, fix people's clothes and you know? Or they can get a job at a factory. And it's not gonna make them very wealthy or anything like that, but it will prevent them from going back to the abuser.
But when we say, okay. Now we're gonna move you over here. Now you have zero support system. Even these women that are in these situations still have a support system. They have uncles, grandmas, aunts that they can go and visit. They have friends that'll come and help them. But when you relocate them to a total different we haven't had one success story yet by bringing people to our farm. They they always end up leaving because they miss their family or their grandma's sick or their mom gets cancer and I wanna go take care of them or the simple fact of and we've done we've actually done this quite a few times where we, we go to a family in a really poor neighborhood and we fundraise them $80,000.
Now I'm gonna build them a business and and a home, but we wanna put them in in a neighborhood that's not so dangerous. We put them in there, and then we always get phone calls or emails like, hey. They abandoned the house. You know? They they go back to kinda what you're saying. So it's an it's an interesting subject. It's an interesting I'm fascinated by it, and it doesn't mean you give up on it. But it has to you also have to be responsible with people's donations at the same time. People work their fucking asses off to be able to donate, and a lot of people donate because now like, a lot of people tell me I don't trust in my church anymore. I don't wanna donate tithing, but I'm gonna donate to you. And that's a heavy burden of, like, okay. This money is sacred money.
So do we keep repeating negative patterns that end up just shitting away money? You know? And and that's what we're trying to figure out. Like and and that's what I'm figuring out too with with these women is how can we almost bring them back into, you know, into their support system, but empower them within their support system where they have the number one thing is you have to heal the heart where the love was missing. You know?
[00:38:12] Unknown:
Okay. So I love what you just said. And I think about the minute you try to extract somebody from their normal situation, even though it might be abusive and terrible and awful, number one thing, it's familiar. And so when you try to remove, familiarity with something new and fabulous and look, isn't this great and it's shiny, and it's awesome. You're gonna have this new community, and you don't have to deal with somebody sexually abusing you all the time or la la la. It sounds great on the outside, but when the the the folks get into that situation, they're just like, I feel like I'm an alien on Saturn.
You know? And they don't feel comfortable. Me too. Right? And so like you said, how can we how can we have sensitivity and support where people already are so that they can instead of having to leave that situation completely and be on Saturn, you know, in the outer rings of Saturn, like, how can they get in a place where it's like, well, this is where my home zone is. I know where the coffee shop is. I know where the playground is, and I know you know? And, like, the the the experience of the human to feel familiar with something is is, underestimated.
People feel fucking freaked out when they're in new situations. You know? And, like, we go in places, like, for vacation. Cool. Let's go climb to mountains and do the thing. But if they're like, this is your new home, you're just like, oh, gosh. How the heck do I acclimate to this? And so having that sensitivity to people and I think, like, spending money, like you said, like, you know, whatever. You get a hundred grand, you get a million, you get whatever the heck dollars amount. If if you're not being sensitive to the, environment of where people feel like they're gonna be, able to flourish, you're just pissing money out, the the the empty hole in the bucket.
You know? And and nobody wants that. You know? And so it's not an easy situation because we can come in here with our little, hi. Look at me. I'm the first world country lady, and I have some ideas. And you should check them out because we're gonna manifest and do love. And these people are just like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, my grandma's over here. My dad's in the fucking MS prison with El Salvador and Bukele and la la la la la. And and we're over here just like, I have to just meditate, and it'll be fine. Like, it doesn't work that way.
And and
[00:41:13] Unknown:
Yeah. Because well, this is also why, you know, like, look at large loans that country take. You'll have a group of people in in a rich western nation where they're planning from their desk. Like, let's do they'll have they'll come up with ideas. You know? And I know you can go down the rabbit hole of all these IMF loans are only to destabilize countries. Like, I get that, but there's still a bunch of really amazing people that work for large organizations that a lot of people deem Yeah. Really dark. Right? And and I used to be like, so anti, so many big organizations until I just became friends with a bunch of people and realized, like, these are really amazing cool people just trying to do good for the world even though the people at the top might have different incentives and agendas.
But the thing the thing is that's the problem is when you're not on the ground, you're never gonna truly know the person's situation. And everything is different. You know what I mean? Like, we're kinda talking about two different things. I help people who are in poverty, and now we're talking about someone who is in child trafficking, sex slavery. You know what I mean? You're not gonna put them back into that situation. You're not gonna put them in the same freaking neighborhood where the dad was raping the daughter. You know what I mean? Those are different scenarios. But in general, when someone everyone goes through you know, I mean, most women go through some form of of sexual abuse. You know what I mean? But I'm saying in general, when it's not an extreme extreme case, if you say, hey. I have this amazing wonderful opportunity for you. It's it's almost the same thing as how parents spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. Some some of my friends, for example, their parents spent so much money on them going to these hundred thousand dollar rehabs to, you know, and and they'll go to these things, and and then they'll relapse and they'll relapse, and they'll relapse.
So it's that's what we're learning now by being boots on the ground is if you can show someone, if you can plant that seed of self esteem inside of their Yep. Inside of their heart. And now you create a support system where now that we have volunteers, like, I'm gonna teach them about finances. I'm gonna teach them about this. I'm gonna teach them where I buy my products from. Let's say we open up a store in their in their house, like, bringing it back in there. And now it's like, okay. Well, now I know I'm not gonna get screwed. I know all the the providers and the you know? That is the that is the best thing. That is the best way to do it.
As for and and that's what I'm just saying right now. Like, as for Casa Conejo, we have there's we're always constantly playing with ideas, but we also know, like, from the from over half a decade of building people's homes and trans moving people, We have to be responsible with the the millions of dollars that we're spending on building Casa Conejo. And and knowing that we've had to go through eight employees to get one employee who really works their ass off. You know? And
[00:44:00] Unknown:
but we have this piece of land. It's, like, 10 acres. And right now, we have, like, 60 houses. About it. I wanna celebrate what you're doing. Obviously, you know, I wanted to interview you because I wanted to showcase what you're up to and then have you be able to, explain the magic that you're you're doing.
[00:44:23] Unknown:
Yeah.
[00:44:25] Unknown:
Alright. You should be able to share screen.
[00:44:29] Unknown:
I'm just gonna show it on a
[00:44:32] Unknown:
Well, but you there there's a button. It's got got the, like, arrow up. That's not my phone. But, like okay. Everybody, can you see that? No. You're like, dude. Okay. Hold on. I'm gonna put you on I'm gonna put you on the big screen. Go. Go. Go. Put it up. Alright. Good. Okay. Are all of you
[00:44:52] Unknown:
Well, for example for example, we have this piece of property. This is on the other side of our home, and you can see these little houses. You know? Those are shacks. This is an aerial view. Those are shacks, and half of them work on work on our farm. And we have space now in the future where now we can bring in more people to the community. People can't afford houses in in El Salvador, and that's the truth. No one no one can afford a damn house. I can't even fucking afford a house. I'm renting. It's crazy. You know what I mean? Like and it's very stressful. You know? Because, of course, I can go buy, I can go take out a loan and and buy an $80,000 home, but I can't do that because we literally have people banging on our door two, three, four, 05:00 in the morning.
My wife cries. My mother-in-law is nervous. We have a baby. We have people that are like, but look. You don't understand. If you just look at my child, has a tumor. My dad is I need a home. Like, we we've been through this in Paraguay and in Mexico and in Guatemala and in Honduras and in Ecuador and Colombia. You know? So it's it's difficult, and I'm kinda like leaving that. That's my fucking sob story right now. It doesn't matter. Like, people here, it's expensive. It's like fucking a hundred thousand dollars for a shit home. You know? And and some people might get offended by that, but it's true. It's like a home that leaks where you can get electrocuted because there's wires everywhere. With an earthquake comes, it's gonna fucking fall and and and kill someone in your house. You know? It's not a home that you can say, this is a safe home for my children.
These are homes that we normally buy for $15,000 in any other country and inject $20,000, 30 thousand dollars. Now they have a really strong, sturdy, beautiful home. You know? It's really it's really expensive here. So the reason I'm showing that is we're playing with ideas right now. We're now how can we build maybe duplexes of two story homes? And now we can put on, like, two, three hundred houses where people can have affordable housing where it's not like, here's a free house. Do whatever you want. Burn trash. You know? Let a million dogs bark. I'm I'm saying, like, you have a home where it's a part of the foundation where you live here and you follow these rules and you follow not like super strict rules where we take away from your from your culture. Right? You you still live your same culture, but now it's like we have biodigester.
So now you're not just, like, shitting and destroying the earth, and and now you're not dumping your chemicals into the streets, which is ruining gardens down the road. So this is an idea that we have, and this is why I always invite more foundations to come in here and do really cool things. Like, someone else build another hostel. Someone build a bakery. Someone build and and this is kind of the idea of Bitcoin Mountain because so many people talk about building circular economies or building a sustainable farm. And it's like, let's just fucking do this. Let's just build this where the next COVID that goes down, it's like our entire community, all of those houses that I showed you right here will have food.
We're gonna have vegetables. We're gonna have we have fucking thousands of fruit trees where everyone's gonna be able to eat. Isn't that the true concept behind what you were saying about these women in in Africa is for them to become sovereign where they don't rely on the man or the man's family or government. So this is the purpose of of the story behind Bitcoin Mountain. It's basically just a model that can now break through the conscious barrier, and and thousands of people can duplicate this. And and and that's what we wanna do. You know? So there's so many ideas of, like, if we have, you know, larger foundations or family funds that says, what can you do with $3,000,000?
We know exactly what we can do. We can build affordable housing for people, and they can come in through women's shelters, through sexual abuse, and we can give them a shot. You can be here for six months. Now we can give you a job. But to be able to do that, we need to build the economy. And and and it's awesome. We're building the economy. You know? We're we have our grocery store, restaurant. You know? We have a little bar, a little coffee shop, a little corner store. We have a greenery, a greenhouse, and we need to hire we have a hundred employees. There's a hundred families hired. Right now, we have 40 families. We need to hire another 60 to 80 soon as soon as we open and and start constructing more.
And now we have friends that are coming in building micro hotels. Another one wants to build a little mini school to teach them English. We wanna build a little a Bitcoin educational center where everyone's gonna get zapped. They're you know, everyone's gonna get paid in sats, and they'll be able to pull it out through the ATMs here. So it's it's really cool. It's it's something beautiful, but what we need now is is more people who have this idea, and this is kinda where I clash with a lot of people. Everyone's just like, hold hold hold forever. You know, who gives a fuck? Who gives a fuck? What if what if an asteroid is coming to our planet and Well, let's just as a that's a positive cause.
[00:49:55] Unknown:
Let's talk about let's for those people listening, because a lot of people have, followed people who are billionaires and people who are normies like us. Uh-huh. Medium of exchange versus store of value, you need to have both. And there are a lot of people out there who are saying never sell, never sell, you know, never sell. And I think that's retarded. And anybody who says that should shut the fuck up, in my opinion. No. Because they don't understand, and they've never read the white paper. The white paper is a peer to peer medium of exchange. And so if you're not understanding the the base layer of why Bitcoin was created, you're you're over here in La La Land just playing crypto bullshit. You're playing, how do I get rich? It's nonsense versus, like, how do I Yeah.
It's mindset. Mindset. It's greed. It's greed. It's greed. And and here's the deal. The reason why game theory works is because we're all greedy. Like, you want to have as much resources for you, Erin, and your family that you can possibly have. Me too. There's nothing wrong with that. However, if you're not understanding the mechanism of how we're transacting value that can be this, like, limited thing called Bitcoin, you're just playing monopoly money over here. You know? So you're playing monopoly money and, like, la la la, the centralized bankers can just go, here's my, like, little la la la, my money versus, like, this is real value and called Bitcoin.
So I guess I would I would ask you as we're building these things, are you planning on doing, like, a open source kind of blueprint thing so that people can understand how to build more more sliced?
[00:52:07] Unknown:
As soon as as soon as we finish and really prove it out, what I I don't really like is is and this is why I don't drink anymore. Because when when I drink, I just talk, talk, talk. I don't like going to bars. I don't like going to meet ups when people are drunk because everyone just fucking talks and makes false promises and says, yeah. I wanna do this. And then they sober up, and they're like, that's why there's so many unwanted babies with people Oh my gosh. Children grow up. The love with no love because people are fucking around with real love. And when you use your words, you're casting spells out into the planet. You're you're literally speaking into the universe. And when you speak lies and you have no word, you have no beginning to anything because in the beginning, there was the word. So if you're speaking fucking nothing, what what are you bringing into this existence? You know? So kinda going back to Bitcoin. I have a bit of Bitcoin, and I'm saying this is we're not gonna sell this for twenty years, thirty years. Who cares? This can go into my daughters. But what I'm saying is kinda going back into Bitcoin, a lot of people don't trust it. You know? So I'm spending the majority of my Bitcoin, all of my fucking money. I can't even afford a house. I live in a beautiful place because I rent, but I can't afford because I'm building the dream here. And we're gonna have a Bitcoin retirement. We're gonna have we're building this economy here, and it's not gonna be a % circular, only Bitcoin. It's it's not about that. My main main thing is be able to teach women how they can fucking feed their kids. That's all I care about. And have them make more money than they used to make. And then seeing these families that were basically slaves to the coffee world, because the coffee world is fucking pure slavery.
How can we have these families go out on the weekend and take their kids to to the mall and walk around or go have a beach trip, which they never could? So that's that's the main plan. It's that's way my priority over than being a Bitcoin missionary. You know? But but it's it's a beautiful story that when it works, if it works, it can be something that could be duplicated. That's why I say break the conscious barrier of how we can live as human beings, how we can live as human beings, where we can become sovereign, and how badass is it when you're not living in a state of you know, let me let me see here. When people are living in a state of not abundance, you are in this constant, you steal more, you lie more, you you hold on more You asshole more. Concept.
Yeah. You know? So so we're building. We're spending, and it's in the purpose of of really helping people to become sovereign. And the only way you can do that is by building a community. One person can't do shit. You know? I don't do anything. Everyone's like, oh, thank you. I'm like, don't thank me. Thank the 6,000,000 people in my my TikTok who've donated at least a dollar. Thank those people. It's a community. It's the hive. And and and so that's what we wanna create. We wanna create this hive, this movement of where people can invest. And who gives a shit if fucking Bitcoins worth $20,000,000 in ten years? I don't care because I've enjoyed my life while I have my health in this moment, and I'm helping the people now with jobs like Marcos, amazing employee. You know? We have beautiful employees that are able to pay for the medicine for their kids, and we're creating something that's inspiring people. You know? The whole the whole other mission of this is every single employee every 37 of our gardeners are becoming trained on permaculture, are becoming trained on how not to use Monsanto, are becoming trained on how to make your own pest controls, how you can mix certain plants and herbs to push away mosquitoes, to push away ants, to push away.
And and and right now, we don't know shit. And maybe in ten years, we still don't know shit. It's a very nature. You can never truly master nature. It's something you have to be a million year old master that. But we're we're mastering what we can and with the time that we have now with with the people that we believe are the smartest in in that scenario, the wisest, I guess. But that's why I'm spending my Bitcoin to be able to create this mission because we are already training neighbors on how to take care of the fucking planet. And all these Bitcoiners are bitching about the food is so unhealthy. Oh, the food is so unhealthy.
Well, everyone's living as a fucking cheap ass. Like, you go to a party and it's like, oh, actually, you need to you need to zap me you need to zap me over, like, $7 in Bitcoin to be able to eat something. I don't wanna fucking live like that. You know what I mean? Because nobody wants to spend anything because they wanna hold on to it with the idea of becoming rich one day. If I keep holding, I will become rich one day. And not everybody, but most people and I'm around Bitcoiners every single day of my damn life. And and I'm a Bitcoiner. And I mean, I go through that mentality of, like, oh, maybe I can be rich for my family if I don't sell my fucking Bitcoin. We're humans. You know? We have that that need of being able to take care of me, me, me, or our family. You know? But what's more important to me than all the Bitcoin in in my wallet is being able to say if if when shit hits the fan, when the dollar goes to shit, when, you know, a a world war breaks out, when the next COVID happens, I have a place where my daughter can eat healthy food, where she has clean water, where we know how to take care of the earth, where we're not spraying chemicals that's leaking into the neighbor's farms.
This is the world we need to be living at and not saying, oh, I'm really wealthy with you know? And and and spend and re refill. Spend and refill. You know? It's not just like spend, spend, spend. The whole idea is if more people build up on Bitcoin mountain, more hotels, more all of this, clean food, charging damn Bitcoin, recoup your wallet. You know?

You do know. And so that's what's fun about talking to you because you do know. And, I think about people who are afraid of spending Bitcoin. Right? Like, we whether it's full dApp, whether it's any of it. Like, spend and replace is so important, you guys. Every single time Yeah. You use the SWIFT network and the fiat rails, you're saying, hello. I'm voting for violence. Every time you say, fuck off, I'm gonna go over here and use lightning or use Bitcoin, you're saying, hello. I'm voting for decentralization and peace.
It doesn't matter if it's a dollar. Doesn't matter if it's $10 or $10,000. Every single time that we do those choices, we're we're voting for this system or this system. And it's tough because a lot I'm and I'm guilty because a lot of times, I'm like, well, I've just got my Fiat bank account. My mortgage goes here and and I don't if I have to go make a couple of fucking steps and it cost me 2%, like, why would I do that? And and I don't. But as we keep just, like, bit by bit dismantling the old system because we're making new choices Yeah. In the new system, it will eliminate itself.
We don't have to be violent about it. You know? Jeff Booth, Becky Fuller, we all talk about, like, what's the new way to build the new way? It's to build it. It's not about, like, destroying the old way. It's just build the new way and let people opt into that thing. You know? And, I feel like what you're doing is so, so important, Erin. And, I don't think a lot of people get it. Like, I don't think enough people know what you're doing.
[00:59:58] Unknown:
Yeah. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing. But I didn't say you know what the outcome was. You know what you're Yeah. You do know what you're doing. Like, dude Yeah. Like, you fucking totally know what you're doing. Just following principles of it's following principles of love. Right? And everyone comes from a spiritual going back into what I was saying, where you take the premise of it and it is love. And there are so many things where my my spiritual story comes from the Bible. You know? So if you want to truly know god, god is within. You gotta go deep. When you focus on the outside, you're focusing on wealth. You're focusing on material things. You gotta focus on the inside where heaven lies. And if you want to find me, give everything you have to the poor. And that was my true here. Take this. And all of a sudden, boom. You know? I I had a I had a video once where I went back to the lady who took me in, and I spent a quarter million dollars. I built her a beautiful Airbnb that helped her make thousands of dollars a month. I built two homes and I bought a very modern house. I built her I bought her son a 2023 brand new semi truck where you can make $57,000 a month. He's a truck driver making $3.50 and I bought him his own truck. Fully paid off. Changed their lives financially. And that video brought me in, like, a half a million dollars, but it's the concept of I wasn't wanting to make it. I was feeling like I have too much money in my account. I need to spend it. These people are the reason why I am where I am, but it comes back.
So I wanna find a charger real quick, but people are too afraid of of of spending. But when you truly spend, why do people wanna have Bitcoin? Why do they wanna they wanna change the old system? You know? They wanna change the old system. And and that system now is is a less greedy, a more honest. Okay. Well, that system needs to start with how we treat people, with how we we love one another. One of my one of my best friends, one of my best friends from all of my twenties died a few weeks ago, and I love John. He was very cheap. He didn't spend anything.
[01:02:08] Unknown:
Well, richest oh, oops. You just lost oh, gosh. Now I'm crying, and now here he's gone. I know he'll bounce bounce back in a second. He was saying he was the richest of all of us. What does richness mean? Does it mean, like, you've got numbers in your bank account, or does it mean you've got memories in your, book of life? You know? And I think so many of us think, like, riches mean numbers, but riches actually mean, memories. So, wow, this has been an interesting experience. This was not what I was expecting on my birthday on 03/28/2025.
I hope Aaron jumps back on soon. I will tell him, like, get on. What are your big dreams for the year? Are they helping other people? Are they helping yourself? Are they getting you out of your pit of despair? What makes you feel better? Whatever it is, I wish it for you. So, Oh my goodness. I have so many messages. Yes. Alright, Aaron. I know he's been struggling with some connectivity issues. Everybody who's listening, what would be one thing? One thing that would make you feel like, oh my god. Everything's better now. It's all better.
She called me. He called me. Here we go, Erin. Yay. Hi, honey. Hi. That's my wife. She just turned it back off. Hi, wife. I haven't met your wife. What is her name?
[01:04:48] Unknown:

[01:04:50] Unknown:

[01:06:05] Unknown:
Yeah. Okay.
[01:06:07] Unknown:
Well, let's let's wrap this up. Okay? Let's wrap it up.
[01:06:11] Unknown:
My point I'll I'll give you my point here. Yes. Point it up. So Johnny d was a good friend of mine k. Since my young days, one of my best friends. We chatted, you know, all throughout the growth of Murph's life. You know, his mom's trying to get into his wallet. I don't think she ever will. He never ended up spending his money. He never ended up spending his Bitcoin, his his coins. He didn't do anything with it for humanity. He did absolutely fuck all, and I love John. And I'm this is nothing to talk. My point is we don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. I think what a shame because if I had his wallet, if I was him, I would have done the exact same you know, I would have been doing he could have done so much beautiful things with it.
You know?
[01:07:09] Unknown:
Yes. I don't know because I don't know how big his wallet was. You know? If you have a 1 Bitcoin wallet versus a 1,000 Bitcoin wallet,
[01:07:16] Unknown:
you do different things. Yeah. It was definitely not a 1 Bitcoin. He was trying to get me into this in, like, 2013. He was the one who who told me about, I I learned from him, you know. I never listened to him. I never started buying until 2017. Yeah. I think that's when most people jumped on the bandwagon. But that it did that's what I'm talking about. We are all going to die, and this is the great importance of not storing up so much earthly wealth. Yeah. But storing up treasures in heaven. And this is inside, and and and doesn't mean to not be financially responsible. It is to be financially responsible. It is to save and to say a percentage of my money, I will hold for however long. And, yes, I might you know, I wanna contribute to the growth of Bitcoin, so maybe I'll burn x amount, and that'll never be able to be touched. But what I'm saying is the the mentality of every bit of money you get, which is very common with a lot of people.
And and and I think for me, it's like, if everyone spent 70% let's just say this. Right? To those who can to those who can, if everyone spent, let's say, 10% of their Bitcoin and we created millions of acres of sustainable food farms, and we sold a large percentage of it to organic food where people could buy, wouldn't that story create a massive adoption? It would. And and that's that's that's what I am aiming towards. I'm not selling a %. We're selling a large amount. And one day, many people and already many people are seeing the fruits of the labor. We're running women's shelters, and it's working. We're feeding them organic food from our farms in Ecuador, from our farms here in El Salvador.
People have jobs, and and that's, you know, that's that. You know? I don't know anything really else to say about that.
[01:09:26] Unknown:
Well, it sounds like you are on the bandwagon of many of us who wanna have, I suppose, different ways of looking at Bitcoin and how we can orange peel each other. And I say each other because it's like, you guys teach me. Every time you do something, I'm like, oh gosh. I didn't know about that. I'm gonna take some notes and learn. So it's not like we're some force of nature that Yeah. Is a is a one way street. It's a two way street. But I don't know. I think we have a long way to go. I think we have a great army. I think we have, a lot of love in our pockets.
And, yeah, I think we're gonna do okay, but I have to go. It is almost the next call right now. But Murph's life, Aaron, like, everybody, I want you guys to be able to find him at murph'slifefoundation.com. And I want you guys to go to x.com/Murph'slife. What's the number one thing you need right now, Aaron? I just wanna keep building. Just donations to keep building. But, like, but, like, if you had, like, a if you had a super special donor that wasn't just gonna throw you some sats or dollars, like, what would be the thing? Like, what do you want?
[01:11:05] Unknown:
More farms.
[01:11:07] Unknown:
More farms. Okay. Cool. Alright, guys. You heard it you heard it here. And, hopefully, we can make that happen. So, Erin, thanks so much for taking your time. I know we've had a little bit of a technical opportunity.
[01:11:28] Unknown:
It worked. We had a great chat. And we we can do it again with with better lap my side, better laptop next time. Well, hopefully, when I'm there in May, I'll be able to do see you in person.
[01:11:40] Unknown:
Even better. Alright. Cool. Alright, everybody. Peace love and warm aloha. And thanks again, Aaron, for tuning in. And I'll talk to you guys soon.
[01:11:48] Unknown:
Thank you. Chat soon. Okay. Aloha.
Aloha, love tribe. Happy Friday. Happy birthday to DJ Valerie b love. It's my birthday, and I chose to do an extra podcast this week with somebody who I had the privilege and pleasure of talking to yesterday about how he is helping people out of violence, out of oppression, and out of hopelessness. And this is Erin Murphy, the founder of Murph's Life. Thanks, Erin, for taking time to talk to me today. I know you and I had two seconds of technical glitches, but we're here. And, thanks for taking time to talk to the audience about what you're doing.
[00:01:13] Unknown:
Thank you. Thank you for inviting me, and and, happy birthday.
[00:01:17] Unknown:
Thank you. Really cool. Like, you think about, like, birthday presents. Right? Like, in the old days, you're like, oh my gosh. I hope I get this little thing or this little thing. And, like, for me now as an an elder, my thing is I wanna help other people get their things. Yeah. You know? And I feel like that's something that you're aligned with in what you're doing. Can you help everybody understand who you are, how you got here? Obviously, as a Bitcoiner, you and I have a lot of things in common, but you also have, like, such a huge backstory of how you got here to create Murph's life in this beautiful dream in El Salvador to help other people get out of poverty and get out of violence.
[00:02:01] Unknown:
Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, basically, my name is Aaron Murphy, and, I'm just a regular dude. You know? I never came. I, I've lived a I feel like I've already lived, like, 10 lives. You know? I grew up in Canada, and we moved all over Canada. Parents were in and out of work, and we lived in my grandma's basement. We lived in a little trailer park, and we moved the trailer to the outskirts of of an indigenous community in way in Northern Alberta called Horse Lake. And, then from there, we went to The States when I was a teenager. So I've always I was kinda born into this life of constantly moving and traveling.
And in The States, I lived in Utah, California, Texas, all over the place. And and now I'm here traveling. I've lived in about 12 Latin countries, and right now mostly between El Salvador and Ecuador, and that's where we have three farms now. And and now we, we we run three food farms. We're building a pretty large community here in El Salvador, and we have six safe homes, women shelters in in South America where we work with the police. So women come. It's usually attempted murder or, incest within indigenous communities deep in the Amazon where there's a lot of alcohol problems. So these women and children will, yeah, they come with a lot of, emotional damage, I guess, a lot of traumas, and we put them into our six month program.
And we have local therapists, psychiatrists, and we teach them self love is the big thing, and we teach them how to work at the same time. So we've taught people how to cook, how to sew, how to make wedding cakes. And, after the six month program, we move them into a home, help them get new beds, a stove, a little business going. And so far, it's 10 out of 10. It does a really, really good job by us hyper focusing on these women. And it's expensive, so that's why we're now building the engine to this airplane. We're building Casa Conejo, which is our our large community in in El Salvador, and we're building a whole micro economy around this based around tourism, hotels, restaurant, a store, bibero, little coffee shop, little bar, and it's a place where people can come and and have tourism and know that two things.
One is profit share for all of the workers so they can have an amazing salary, and then number two is back into the ecosystem for us to continue our work with our shelters and food farms around the world.
[00:04:40] Unknown:
But so let's talk let's let's take a step back. Like, first of all, ultra high five. I can't wait to meet you in person. I'm gonna be there in the first week of May. I'll be there with, you know, Bob with House of Life and Mikasa Kids. I wanna come visit you. Hopefully, are you gonna be in town in the May? Probably. I'm usually here, like, 70% of the time. Okay. Cool. So, you know, I I wanna come there. How the heck did you turn into because, like, your your backstory, your about me page was, like, I was struggling with partying and drinking and doing all these things. And then COVID happened, and then all of a sudden, I had 200 to my name, and I gave it to somebody else.
Like, how did you have this kinda come to love, come to Jesus, come to God, come to supporting others moment? Because most people are not doing what you've done. Most people are just like, fuck. I gotta go get a little bit more so that I can pay my bills and take care of things. But you did a completely different timeline. You chose to go do service. You chose to go care for people who couldn't care for themselves. How did that happen? Like, what was something that happened in your heart, your spirit, your soul?
[00:05:58] Unknown:
I mean, it's it's a once you hit rock bottom, you know, there's nowhere else to go. So sometimes you just have to laugh and be like, you know, they can't get any worse than this. And, you know, that happened around, like, 2016, '20 '17. I, I I threw concerts before. I threw a lot of parties and and music festivals.
[00:06:18] Unknown:
No way. I didn't know that. I didn't see that on your, like, bio. So, okay, we got 12, dude.
[00:06:23] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. So I used to throw these things called the rooftop series in Downtown Salt Lake. We're running out big. We're we're the NBA teams would come in. We'd we'd do do shows there, just concerts. And but mostly it's just like I lived every day was a house party at someone's house or some bar. So it was Taco Tuesday or some some shit. There's a theme there's a theme to drink each day. Yeah. And and my body just kinda gave out, and I started getting really bad anxiety. And and at this time, I'm, like, coming up to my thirties. And I had a few friends, and not, like, close, close friends, but, I mean, you know, thirty, forty people that worked around me that are promoters or just people I know that are overdosing. And, you know, a lot of people are dying, and I'm like, shit. Am I gonna be in my thirties, forties, fifties doing this shit? Like, what what else is there to do? You know?
And so and then at the same time, like, my body just hit a point where I couldn't party anymore. And I think it was, like, my soul telling me that that this isn't your purpose, so it gave me some pretty extreme anxieties and and and, panic attacks. And so after I went sober for a year, I decided to go, decided to I was gonna say, Bitcoining. Backpacking.
[00:07:35] Unknown:
Bitcoin back yeah. Backpacking. Yeah. Do it.
[00:07:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, alright. I'm gonna go, I'm just gonna go for, like, a month, And then that turned into three months. Wow. And then, you know, and then COVID broke out, and I had a small window where I think I could have went back, you know, to The States, but something was just like, I'm gonna stay here. You know? And then and then it kinda got scary. It was like, wow. There's no more planes. There's no taxis. There's nothing. And I'm just stuck in a small community. You know? And, and, you know, I'm at this time, I'm sober. And so it's a different mindset now of of of scarcity. Because it's no longer like scarcity when when everyone's working around you and you're like a homeless person, you gotta feed yourself. This is like the whole world is stuck, and the whole world can't really work. You know? And so it was a different freedom. I kinda felt like Aladdin. You know what I mean? Where I'm just like this free spirited running around with, like, a with a monkey on my back. You know? Like, Just minus the stealing bread part. But, I had a place to stay. I was staying in a in a Venezuelan, like, refugee camp, basically. It was pretty shitty apartment with, like, multiple apartments sharing one toilet with no toilet seat.
And I but and I was staying with a grandma as well for the most part, but I felt really good. Like, I felt a a peace. You know? I felt joy hanging out with my new friends every night, and everyone was in the same situation. You know? And I was sleeping on an old mattress we kinda found by the dump. You know? One of the Venezuelans in the streets don't want the mattress. You know? It's pretty gross. And so I remember I was just, like, laying there this one night, and I didn't really have any money. And this is, like, right when I was uploading on TikTok, which is where where all of our stuff kinda took off. You know? And it's, like, like, two, three in the morning, I just have, like, this ecstasy come into my body, this this really good, powerful emotion, the spirit kinda coming over me.
And, that's when I knew everything would change. And and from there, it was, like, the next month, there's, like, a hundred thousand dollars in our Venmo account. All the videos were going viral, and I couldn't pull the money out fast enough. At that time, Venmo only let me take out, like, like, 4 or $5. I don't remember the exact numbers. Like, 4 or $5 a month. And, but I was making three, four times the amount of that. So I was, like, stuck to the amount of donations that I could spend, and it just kinda kept growing and growing and growing. You know? So that's kinda how this all evolved.
[00:10:17] Unknown:
Oh my god. I have 10,000 questions for you about, you know, the spiritual part of this when you had this awakening and then also the, economic part where you're just like, wait a minute. I can't get the things that people gave me that is my or mine, which are called donations, fiat, whatever, and get them out. So let me ask you this, Erin. As somebody who's been through, you know, oh, a few dark nights of the soul. Right? Like Yeah. How did you how did you know that it was time? Like, you were in this like, I can't do this anymore. Because a lot of people, Erin, as you know, and I'm sure people that you work with, they just check out, and they're like, I'm done.
I'm jumping off the the the end of the planet. Here's an edge point. I'm killing myself. I'm committing suicide. How did you get to the place where you didn't do that?
[00:11:23] Unknown:
I mean, every when when you're at the bottom rock bottom, everyone everyone goes through this. You know? When someone dies in your family Yeah. Loved one dies. A lot of people too, it's like your identity is lost when you lose your job. Your identity, dude, is the identity.
[00:11:40] Unknown:
I know. I was talking to someone about this earlier today. So talk about your identity. What was your identity before and after your transformation into Aaron who was a partier and Aaron who is the fucking Murph's life dude who's saving people
[00:11:55] Unknown:
in their new life. You know, the identity of, like, oh, I can throw parties and and and, I threw I could throw a party and we would go to a casino, and I would just you know? I would throw $30,000 at my friends, or I would go gambling and spend it all in a casino. And I wouldn't care. I love that freedom of, like, well, I can throw another party, make $20, 3 grand. You know? And but as you get older, you know, I got a DUI and my friends are getting married and and, like, that didn't last forever. You know? And that's that's an identity death.
Was like, I'm no longer this kid anymore who just who's just very irresponsible with money and irresponsible with with his body. And so you have to allow that to die. And you go through a time of confusion. Like, for me, it was a fear, a deep fear of, like, I chose not to go to college because I was doing college parties. You know? I was like, oh, why do I have to go get into debt when I can make more money than some people make in a year in a night, you know, and and drinking, having fun at the same time? Yeah. So once that ends, it's like, what am I gonna do? And and you start feeling hopeless. You know? I got I had, like, credit card debt and owing the worst is I mean, who gives a shit about credit card debt? The worst is when you owe friends money. You know? And then they wanna hit you back, and then that really eats that Yeah. Yeah. Theme.
And a lot of people who you say jump off a bridge are in debt. You know? Debt is a debt is something that drives people mad, and it it eats away at the soul. It makes you feel like, you know, you're a nobody. And when you feel like you're a nobody and you want to be a somebody, you know, that I think is what makes people go nuts. Like, when they don't feel love and that love is that disconnect from God. So when you're at rock bottom and you no longer know what your identity is and you don't feel love for yourself, you have to call upon a higher power.
[00:14:12] Unknown:
And so for you, like, let me ask you this, Aaron, because a lot of us are spiritual, not religious. Right? Like, a lot, you know, in in this, world that we're in. Like, did you have resistance to calling in on that higher power?
[00:14:29] Unknown:
No. I mean, everyone grows up from some type of background. You know? Every if I was born in India, you know, maybe I'd be Hindu, or maybe if I was Asia or if I was born in the Bible Belt, I I would be raised Baptist. But I was raised in Northern Alberta by two Mormon parents. You know? So I grew up LDS. No way. And that's a that's a strong base of my of, I guess, my my spiritual upbringing. You know? Mhmm. I did a mission in Brazil. You know, the elders, two teenagers walking around. And, so I had that as a base, but then as soon as I got back from from the mission, I went back to Utah and and just started partying. You know? Like, slowly, like the frog that boils as as a lot of people do. You know? And I and I think not just religious. Like, The United States,
[00:15:22] Unknown:
everywhere, the culture is binge drinking. Like, you go out on the weekend, and you just get hammered. You know? Because you do well, you do that on a Tuesday night. And then on Friday night, you make it even more. Right? And Yeah. If you're not in that club, you know, as a salesperson, as a biz dev person, as anything, you're in this, like, how the heck am I gonna expand my social?
[00:15:50] Unknown:
Yeah. I don't hear the audio. I can't hear your audio. Can you hear mine? Yeah. I just I just can't hear your audio.
[00:16:17] Unknown:
Just talk. You talk. Ah, there we go. Blah blah blah. Okay. You talk. I know I just had, like, a weird a whole bunch of things came up and says, like, you're disconnected.
[00:16:29] Unknown:
It's a sign, man.
[00:16:31] Unknown:
I know. Right? It's a reality. Do you know who Scott Harrison is of Charity Water? Yeah. Right? Like, you you two remind me of each other a lot. Haven't met either of you in person yet, but your young men who had to go on this journey of self destruction. Me too. Just don't don't, you know, I'm I'm the self destruction queen. And then all of a sudden, you had this kind of awakening, you know, where it's like, well, is this really all there is? Like, really? I'm gonna go party, have sex with a bunch of chicks, do drugs, do alcohol, do this, make money, and you just feel this, like, empty carcass of your soul, You know? And then all of a sudden, you get this kind of, like, hey. Guess what?
There's something better. And, you know, and it's God's spirit universe talking to you. And so I think it's, like, so cool that you didn't just get that message. Aaron, you did it. Like, you did it. You did it not only, like, well, I'm just gonna donate $20 a month to the local charity and, okay, I'm off we go. I'm gonna have my beer barbecue weekends thing. Like, you fucking dedicated your sorry. I curse a lot, so welcome to my world. You showed up and you bought property and you got investors, and you're like, how the heck can I make this world a better place? And that that young gentleman, Marco, with, like, no arms, you know, and the the segment of his arm, you got him a home.
Who the heck does that?
[00:18:18] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Hundreds a hundred there's hundreds of people like Marcus that we give homes to, and every home has a business. You know? But just one one small correction is we we have zero investors in this. Zero.
[00:18:31] Unknown:
I'm not saying you have investors, but, like, you're you've you've turned your vision into something where people could like, I look at government. I look at business. Your resource allocators. That's our job. Yeah. You know, as an entrepreneur. Our job is to create a funnel and say, hey. We're gonna take these resources. We're gonna turn them into something good. You have turned the resources that have come to you into something beautiful, like, so beautiful. This young man, Marco Yeah. Marco said, like, are you kidding me? He was about to jump off the the planet.
[00:19:11] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. And there was divine intervention with him. I think a lot of people have divine intervention.
[00:19:19] Unknown:
Everyone does. We all have divine intervention. You know? And, like, you're you're you're an execute Aaron, like, I've been following you for a while, and the fact that I got to have, like, a a little chat with you yesterday, and then I'm like, well, you know, if there's anything I can do to help Merch Live, and you're like, yeah. I can do an interview tomorrow, and you just said yes to me. I'm small potatoes, dude. Like, I'm I'm not Joe Rogan. I'm not, you know, these big people. Like, you're somebody who says yes, and then you make it happen.
Yeah. You make it happen. There are not a lot of men like you out there. Yeah.

I don't I don't think there's anything such as small potatoes. You know? And Internet is so fickle. It's like in 2021, we were getting hundreds of millions of views a month on all of our platforms, 2022. And now that I'm so focused on building farms, it's like you leave your you stop uploading for three months, and then everyone forgets about you. And and it's totally fine. That's that's actually beautiful and amazing because there's so much content being spit out every single day. It's easy to forget. It's easy to, like, fill in those, oh, and I found, like, 10 new influencers. You know? It just humans are humans, and none of this Internet shit matters. None of it fucking matters. You know? Like, none of the views matter. None of what matters to me is is, you know, sometimes people so I'll I'll is raising money. I love that. You know? That's the only way I care about, you know, views is I can buy more farms.
We can plant more trees. Fuck yeah. Like, I would I love to get views that get millions of tens of millions of views, but, like, the video with Marcos, like, I'm I'm barely even in that video for the most part. Like, most a lot of people don't recognize me, but they'll know the videos. And and that's kinda the the cool thing. You know? It's just I don't know. It's just something I think about all the time. Everyone's just human. We're all the same, and then one day we're gonna die, and everyone's gonna forget about all of us. And what a beautiful thing that we just return back to our spirit. Yeah. It's like life is just like a little
[00:21:28] Unknown:
in pairs. Like, literally, like, you look at the glitter on my little eyes here so I can cover up my dark circles, there's one speck of the glitter, and that's your life. Yeah. That's it. It's like this tiny little bloop. Well, so, but Okay. I discovered, obviously, yesterday about you. You have 6,000,000 followers on TikTok. I don't have a TikTok account. I had a TikTok account years ago, and my daughter was like, mom, you're too old. You shouldn't have TikTok. You're fucking weird and old. And I was like, okay. I won't have TikTok. You have 6,000,000 people. I don't even care if 5,000,000 of them are bots.
1,000,000 of them are humans, but I'm guessing that way more than that is the ratio. I think about Martin Luther King. I think about Bob Marley. I think about John Lennon. I think about, Gandhi. I think about Mother Teresa. If they had 6,000,000 people who had somebody who's gonna go get that thing on their their feed, how the heck would they navigate their social media? How would they navigate their communication strategy? And so just for those people listening who are activists, change makers, warriors who care about making the world a better place, like, what would you tell them? Because when you see those numbers as somebody who's humble like myself or other folks, we're just like, how the heck did you how did that happen? You know? And because, like, I have a good message to share, and I wanna tell people to love themselves and have self love and bring each other into the conversation with care.
Like, what would you tell people who are listening who want to make the world a better place? How to be a social media or media, rock star like you? Because you are. Like, those are big numbers, dude.
[00:23:34] Unknown:
Yeah. Anyone can anyone can can get big numbers on the Internet now. It's like I feel like you're Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna argue with you. Video. You know? And that's the cool thing about social media is you don't have to just be There's really no such thing as celebrities anymore. Because you look back in the nineties, there's, like, Metallica, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson. Those are celebrities around. But now it's like, there are millions of micro celebrities that that you know, there's not such thing as, like, the hairdo of the the eighties, the hairdo of the there's, like, so much freaking music and hairdos. And so so what I'm saying is, like, whatever your personality is, so if you wanna if you wanna do something, one, it has to be authentic. Of course. And and as soon as someone's truly, truly authentic and the second thing is is, like, well, what's trending? What am I gonna do? Like, that doesn't, you know, that doesn't mean anything. You don't have to follow trends. You don't have to follow you know? Just figure out what you're really truly passionate about and make content around that. And and now practice making content and have fun with it until like, even now, you can look at, like, trending music, trending things, but have to do it with what you're in line with. You know? Like, one of my buddies, he's a Japanese guy, but lived the most of his life in The States. And now he's been living in, I think, Honduras for, like, fifteen years.
And he you know, very small on I remember seeing him in 2021. No. 2020. '20 '20 '1. My my girlfriend and I went to go stay with him, and he, like, built this tiny compound. He built schools for people. His name is Shin. And then, you know, he's like, I wanna figure out how to build more schools. So he does this run all over Honduras and just it exploded. Now he just ran over all of Central America, like, from the border of The United States all through Mexico, had a van following with his team. He's doing, like, a live. And dude's making, like, 5 to $10,000 a day.
He runs by, like, groceries, and everyone sponsors them. He gives them checks and, like, thousands is, like, freaking you know? What's the guy's name in the movie in the nineties with, Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump. Yeah. He just finished his last Exactly. I know. I was like, as soon as you said that, I'm like, Ron Forrest. Run.
[00:25:49] Unknown:
Yeah. It's just inspiring
[00:25:51] Unknown:
millions of children in The Americas right now. Millions. You know?
[00:25:56] Unknown:
So cool. But but the let me ask you this, though, because, like, again, like, for me personally, you know, I'm more in the, like, spiritual development and personal growth, and, of course, I'm a hardcore Bitcoiner psychopath. Like, there's not a lot of people who wanna listen to a woman talk about money and talk about Bitcoin and talk about spiritual stuff. You know? Mel Robbins. Well, Tony Robbins, but he's not a Bitcoiner. And he's Mel Robbins. You know? Well, I love Mel Robbins. I do. I I love Let Them. I love her new book, Go Mel. It's so good. She's so good. But, it's like it's so narrow. You know? And so I guess and it's not about me. It's it's it's literally like, Erin, it's not about me. It's about, like, your initiatives.
It's about the initiatives of Murph's life. It's about the initiatives of the house of life. It's about the initiatives of Bitcoin kids. It's about the initiatives of BTC, in Africa where they're teaching all these women, these young women about how to be self sovereign, understand what custody looks like. Because guess what? I don't know if you know this, Erin. If you're a woman in certain countries in Africa, if your husband dies, guess what happens to your property?
[00:27:18] Unknown:
I don't know. Just guess. Goes to the brother. Goes to the family
[00:27:23] Unknown:
of the husband. Yeah. So you are absolutely f u c k e d, and you don't have anything. So you and your children are at the whim of the husband's family. So if you did this thing called life and I have a, you know, falafel stand or whatever and you make things happen and you're putting money in your, you know, account, Anything that happens if your spouse leaves the planet goes to the family. It doesn't go to you.
[00:27:56] Unknown:
Even if it's on both names on a title? There's no title because guess what?
[00:28:00] Unknown:
As a woman, you have no rights to a title. You have zero property rights as a woman. And so I didn't know that. I knew nothing about this, you know, until I became a Bitcoiner. And I started talking to Lorraine Morris Marcel with BTC data. And she was just like, Val. And, you know, one of the podcasts she did with me, she's like, do you know that that's what happens to women and women's property rights? So property rights, we take it so much for granted here in our little privileged first world. But, like, imagine if you're somebody who's, like, raising a couple kids from an abusive partner, and then that abusive partner dies. And then now you've gotta deal with their family, and they're the only ones who are gonna tell you, like, all the things that you did for the last ten years is gonna be subject to their discretionary, you know, okay. You can have some money for milk today or whatever the fuck.
Could you fuck that shit? Like, Bitcoin creates an opportunity for people to have property rights away from the state, away from the church, away from all of it. You know? And I never knew that. I didn't I I always I I don't know. I just thought, like, well, if you have something, it's yours. That's not how it works. Yeah. Not how it works. You know, and so I think what you're doing in Central And South America is super important in, you know, having these kind of almost like pen pal relationships, you know, with the folks over here in Central And South America to the folks over in Africa and just being like, yeah, we're doing this thing. We got a lemonade stand or we did like a, you know, the pupusa stand, or we're teaching girls how to do hair, or we're teaching girls how to do, like, freedom funnels with Russell Brunson, you know? And it's like, we want communication to happen between the people who are the least, favored in society, which are young girls and who've been trafficked and who are pregnant, you know? And, I don't know. I'm I'm just gonna keep I can go on for this forever, Aaron.
[00:30:26] Unknown:
Yeah. It's a rough subject. You know?
[00:30:29] Unknown:
It's a super rough subject. You know? And, like, Ryan Mata was on our call earlier. We're doing this whole, like, project to try to help people get out of, out of financial slavery, whether you're a kid or whether you're an adult. You know? But, like, for for you, Erin, what I wanna ask you is, coming back. We got step one. We get people out of abuse. We get them out of slavery. We get them out of sexual, you know, sex slavery, you know? Step two, all right, now you're stable. Okay? You're here. You're gonna have your baby. We're gonna eat healthy. We're gonna get you, you know, whatever you need. Step three is where I think you come in, where I think you and Murph's life come in. What happens when these girls become 18?
What do they do? Where are they gonna go? You gonna put them out on the street? Here you go. Have a nice life. Like, I feel like Merced Life is a better life than putting them on the street. And so when we were talking yesterday and you were showing me the, you know, the overview and everything of your place, it's like, how can we put these wonderful humans who are on the pathway to recovery and survivorship and thriving, how can we put them in a place that feels good? And I feel like Murph's life is a place for that.
[00:32:14] Unknown:
Yeah. It's kind of a complicated, kind of a complicated subject. You know? Yeah. It can work and it can work and it can't work, and and I'll tell you why. I've brought people in, and, we brought about we use a number probably around, like, seven or eight families that we've brought in. And none of them stayed. None of them you know?
[00:32:41] Unknown:
Where'd they come from? I'm just I'm being devil's advocate, so bear with me if I ask questions and they're uncomfortable. Just like where did they come from?
[00:32:54] Unknown:
From wherever they were originally from. You know? What? So I'll give you an example. We, my back just had, like, a weird zing because I'm, like, laying Okay. Charged. So let me how do I put this into place? Right? Let's say you are really fat and you're out of shape. You know? I'm and I'm not in shape.
[00:33:21] Unknown:
Oh, dude. I'm gonna kiss that belly button. Come on. Let's go.
[00:33:26] Unknown:
You know? I I wish I was, but I you know, there's bad habits. Let me see. For example, I like to chew on this cigar when I get really stressed, and I I I but I don't smoke it, but I know it's bad for me. When you are sexually abused, when you go through any kind of trauma in life, it's very hard with all the therapy and everything. And and not even just that. Like so we took a family. We built them a beautiful home. We offered them jobs. We gave them four wheelers and transportation. We've given cars, and they always go back to what they knew. They go back to their environment.
[00:34:11] Unknown:
It's called the d n n. F n. Default mode network. DMN. Default mode network. And so that's normal. It doesn't matter if you are in El Salvador in The United States. Like people will go to the default mode network, DMF. And so that's that's a tough one, dude. But it doesn't mean you give up.
[00:34:41] Unknown:
Yeah. My my our, our property in in, we I mean, we offer jobs in multiple countries. Right? We have jobs in The United States where the people work. We have jobs. We have, like you know, soon we're gonna have another 70 employees hired in the next, like, twenty to forty days here on our our In El Salvador. We have, yeah, we have employees in Ecuador. And to get a good employee, you know, is usually you have to go through five to 10 people before you get one person. An agent person. And and and so that's kind of a that's what we're finding the hard thing about is, like, bringing them in. That's a lot of money to bring them in. And then really you know?
So this is what I'm working with. We we focus that so, like, in in Ecuador, for example, we have a six month program where we teach them self love, and this has been a 10 out of 10. Right? Like, where they don't go back to the abuser, but we set them up with their own thing. Because before when I started, a lot of businesses just kept going out of business because I'd be like, oh, I wanna build them a coffee shop. Oh, I wanna build them. I wanna make her buy my car, and there'll be a Uber driver. Or and they're like, I don't know what to do. I don't know. You know? But if you can figure out what people really truly enjoy and love, you'd be surprised. You know? Like, a lot of people are like, I really wanna sew. You know? I want my own sewing machine. And, oh, okay. So we buy him a sewing machine, and we teach them how to sew. And now they can put up a little thing to, like, fix people's clothes and you know? Or they can get a job at a factory. And it's not gonna make them very wealthy or anything like that, but it will prevent them from going back to the abuser.
But when we say, okay. Now we're gonna move you over here. Now you have zero support system. Even these women that are in these situations still have a support system. They have uncles, grandmas, aunts that they can go and visit. They have friends that'll come and help them. But when you relocate them to a total different we haven't had one success story yet by bringing people to our farm. They they always end up leaving because they miss their family or their grandma's sick or their mom gets cancer and I wanna go take care of them or the simple fact of and we've done we've actually done this quite a few times where we, we go to a family in a really poor neighborhood and we fundraise them $80,000.
Now I'm gonna build them a business and and a home, but we wanna put them in in a neighborhood that's not so dangerous. We put them in there, and then we always get phone calls or emails like, hey. They abandoned the house. You know? They they go back to kinda what you're saying. So it's an it's an interesting subject. It's an interesting I'm fascinated by it, and it doesn't mean you give up on it. But it has to you also have to be responsible with people's donations at the same time. People work their fucking asses off to be able to donate, and a lot of people donate because now like, a lot of people tell me I don't trust in my church anymore. I don't wanna donate tithing, but I'm gonna donate to you. And that's a heavy burden of, like, okay. This money is sacred money.
So do we keep repeating negative patterns that end up just shitting away money? You know? And and that's what we're trying to figure out. Like and and that's what I'm figuring out too with with these women is how can we almost bring them back into, you know, into their support system, but empower them within their support system where they have the number one thing is you have to heal the heart where the love was missing. You know?
[00:38:12] Unknown:
Okay. So I love what you just said. And I think about the minute you try to extract somebody from their normal situation, even though it might be abusive and terrible and awful, number one thing, it's familiar. And so when you try to remove, familiarity with something new and fabulous and look, isn't this great and it's shiny, and it's awesome. You're gonna have this new community, and you don't have to deal with somebody sexually abusing you all the time or la la la. It sounds great on the outside, but when the the the folks get into that situation, they're just like, I feel like I'm an alien on Saturn.
You know? And they don't feel comfortable. Me too. Right? And so like you said, how can we how can we have sensitivity and support where people already are so that they can instead of having to leave that situation completely and be on Saturn, you know, in the outer rings of Saturn, like, how can they get in a place where it's like, well, this is where my home zone is. I know where the coffee shop is. I know where the playground is, and I know you know? And, like, the the the experience of the human to feel familiar with something is is, underestimated.
People feel fucking freaked out when they're in new situations. You know? And, like, we go in places, like, for vacation. Cool. Let's go climb to mountains and do the thing. But if they're like, this is your new home, you're just like, oh, gosh. How the heck do I acclimate to this? And so having that sensitivity to people and I think, like, spending money, like you said, like, you know, whatever. You get a hundred grand, you get a million, you get whatever the heck dollars amount. If if you're not being sensitive to the, environment of where people feel like they're gonna be, able to flourish, you're just pissing money out, the the the empty hole in the bucket.
You know? And and nobody wants that. You know? And so it's not an easy situation because we can come in here with our little, hi. Look at me. I'm the first world country lady, and I have some ideas. And you should check them out because we're gonna manifest and do love. And these people are just like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, my grandma's over here. My dad's in the fucking MS prison with El Salvador and Bukele and la la la la la. And and we're over here just like, I have to just meditate, and it'll be fine. Like, it doesn't work that way.
And and
[00:41:13] Unknown:
Yeah. Because well, this is also why, you know, like, look at large loans that country take. You'll have a group of people in in a rich western nation where they're planning from their desk. Like, let's do they'll have they'll come up with ideas. You know? And I know you can go down the rabbit hole of all these IMF loans are only to destabilize countries. Like, I get that, but there's still a bunch of really amazing people that work for large organizations that a lot of people deem Yeah. Really dark. Right? And and I used to be like, so anti, so many big organizations until I just became friends with a bunch of people and realized, like, these are really amazing cool people just trying to do good for the world even though the people at the top might have different incentives and agendas.
But the thing the thing is that's the problem is when you're not on the ground, you're never gonna truly know the person's situation. And everything is different. You know what I mean? Like, we're kinda talking about two different things. I help people who are in poverty, and now we're talking about someone who is in child trafficking, sex slavery. You know what I mean? You're not gonna put them back into that situation. You're not gonna put them in the same freaking neighborhood where the dad was raping the daughter. You know what I mean? Those are different scenarios. But in general, when someone everyone goes through you know, I mean, most women go through some form of of sexual abuse. You know what I mean? But I'm saying in general, when it's not an extreme extreme case, if you say, hey. I have this amazing wonderful opportunity for you. It's it's almost the same thing as how parents spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. Some some of my friends, for example, their parents spent so much money on them going to these hundred thousand dollar rehabs to, you know, and and they'll go to these things, and and then they'll relapse and they'll relapse, and they'll relapse.
So it's that's what we're learning now by being boots on the ground is if you can show someone, if you can plant that seed of self esteem inside of their Yep. Inside of their heart. And now you create a support system where now that we have volunteers, like, I'm gonna teach them about finances. I'm gonna teach them about this. I'm gonna teach them where I buy my products from. Let's say we open up a store in their in their house, like, bringing it back in there. And now it's like, okay. Well, now I know I'm not gonna get screwed. I know all the the providers and the you know? That is the that is the best thing. That is the best way to do it.
As for and and that's what I'm just saying right now. Like, as for Casa Conejo, we have there's we're always constantly playing with ideas, but we also know, like, from the from over half a decade of building people's homes and trans moving people, We have to be responsible with the the millions of dollars that we're spending on building Casa Conejo. And and knowing that we've had to go through eight employees to get one employee who really works their ass off. You know? And
[00:44:00] Unknown:
but we have this piece of land. It's, like, 10 acres. And right now, we have, like, 60 houses. About it. I wanna celebrate what you're doing. Obviously, you know, I wanted to interview you because I wanted to showcase what you're up to and then have you be able to, explain the magic that you're you're doing.
[00:44:23] Unknown:
Yeah.
[00:44:25] Unknown:
Alright. You should be able to share screen.
[00:44:29] Unknown:
I'm just gonna show it on a
[00:44:32] Unknown:
Well, but you there there's a button. It's got got the, like, arrow up. That's not my phone. But, like okay. Everybody, can you see that? No. You're like, dude. Okay. Hold on. I'm gonna put you on I'm gonna put you on the big screen. Go. Go. Go. Put it up. Alright. Good. Okay. Are all of you
[00:44:52] Unknown:
Well, for example for example, we have this piece of property. This is on the other side of our home, and you can see these little houses. You know? Those are shacks. This is an aerial view. Those are shacks, and half of them work on work on our farm. And we have space now in the future where now we can bring in more people to the community. People can't afford houses in in El Salvador, and that's the truth. No one no one can afford a damn house. I can't even fucking afford a house. I'm renting. It's crazy. You know what I mean? Like and it's very stressful. You know? Because, of course, I can go buy, I can go take out a loan and and buy an $80,000 home, but I can't do that because we literally have people banging on our door two, three, four, 05:00 in the morning.
My wife cries. My mother-in-law is nervous. We have a baby. We have people that are like, but look. You don't understand. If you just look at my child, has a tumor. My dad is I need a home. Like, we we've been through this in Paraguay and in Mexico and in Guatemala and in Honduras and in Ecuador and Colombia. You know? So it's it's difficult, and I'm kinda like leaving that. That's my fucking sob story right now. It doesn't matter. Like, people here, it's expensive. It's like fucking a hundred thousand dollars for a shit home. You know? And and some people might get offended by that, but it's true. It's like a home that leaks where you can get electrocuted because there's wires everywhere. With an earthquake comes, it's gonna fucking fall and and and kill someone in your house. You know? It's not a home that you can say, this is a safe home for my children.
These are homes that we normally buy for $15,000 in any other country and inject $20,000, 30 thousand dollars. Now they have a really strong, sturdy, beautiful home. You know? It's really it's really expensive here. So the reason I'm showing that is we're playing with ideas right now. We're now how can we build maybe duplexes of two story homes? And now we can put on, like, two, three hundred houses where people can have affordable housing where it's not like, here's a free house. Do whatever you want. Burn trash. You know? Let a million dogs bark. I'm I'm saying, like, you have a home where it's a part of the foundation where you live here and you follow these rules and you follow not like super strict rules where we take away from your from your culture. Right? You you still live your same culture, but now it's like we have biodigester.
So now you're not just, like, shitting and destroying the earth, and and now you're not dumping your chemicals into the streets, which is ruining gardens down the road. So this is an idea that we have, and this is why I always invite more foundations to come in here and do really cool things. Like, someone else build another hostel. Someone build a bakery. Someone build and and this is kind of the idea of Bitcoin Mountain because so many people talk about building circular economies or building a sustainable farm. And it's like, let's just fucking do this. Let's just build this where the next COVID that goes down, it's like our entire community, all of those houses that I showed you right here will have food.
We're gonna have vegetables. We're gonna have we have fucking thousands of fruit trees where everyone's gonna be able to eat. Isn't that the true concept behind what you were saying about these women in in Africa is for them to become sovereign where they don't rely on the man or the man's family or government. So this is the purpose of of the story behind Bitcoin Mountain. It's basically just a model that can now break through the conscious barrier, and and thousands of people can duplicate this. And and and that's what we wanna do. You know? So there's so many ideas of, like, if we have, you know, larger foundations or family funds that says, what can you do with $3,000,000?
We know exactly what we can do. We can build affordable housing for people, and they can come in through women's shelters, through sexual abuse, and we can give them a shot. You can be here for six months. Now we can give you a job. But to be able to do that, we need to build the economy. And and and it's awesome. We're building the economy. You know? We're we have our grocery store, restaurant. You know? We have a little bar, a little coffee shop, a little corner store. We have a greenery, a greenhouse, and we need to hire we have a hundred employees. There's a hundred families hired. Right now, we have 40 families. We need to hire another 60 to 80 soon as soon as we open and and start constructing more.
And now we have friends that are coming in building micro hotels. Another one wants to build a little mini school to teach them English. We wanna build a little a Bitcoin educational center where everyone's gonna get zapped. They're you know, everyone's gonna get paid in sats, and they'll be able to pull it out through the ATMs here. So it's it's really cool. It's it's something beautiful, but what we need now is is more people who have this idea, and this is kinda where I clash with a lot of people. Everyone's just like, hold hold hold forever. You know, who gives a fuck? Who gives a fuck? What if what if an asteroid is coming to our planet and Well, let's just as a that's a positive cause.
[00:49:55] Unknown:
Let's talk about let's for those people listening, because a lot of people have, followed people who are billionaires and people who are normies like us. Uh-huh. Medium of exchange versus store of value, you need to have both. And there are a lot of people out there who are saying never sell, never sell, you know, never sell. And I think that's retarded. And anybody who says that should shut the fuck up, in my opinion. No. Because they don't understand, and they've never read the white paper. The white paper is a peer to peer medium of exchange. And so if you're not understanding the the base layer of why Bitcoin was created, you're you're over here in La La Land just playing crypto bullshit. You're playing, how do I get rich? It's nonsense versus, like, how do I Yeah.
It's mindset. Mindset. It's greed. It's greed. It's greed. And and here's the deal. The reason why game theory works is because we're all greedy. Like, you want to have as much resources for you, Erin, and your family that you can possibly have. Me too. There's nothing wrong with that. However, if you're not understanding the mechanism of how we're transacting value that can be this, like, limited thing called Bitcoin, you're just playing monopoly money over here. You know? So you're playing monopoly money and, like, la la la, the centralized bankers can just go, here's my, like, little la la la, my money versus, like, this is real value and called Bitcoin.
So I guess I would I would ask you as we're building these things, are you planning on doing, like, a open source kind of blueprint thing so that people can understand how to build more more sliced?
[00:52:07] Unknown:
As soon as as soon as we finish and really prove it out, what I I don't really like is is and this is why I don't drink anymore. Because when when I drink, I just talk, talk, talk. I don't like going to bars. I don't like going to meet ups when people are drunk because everyone just fucking talks and makes false promises and says, yeah. I wanna do this. And then they sober up, and they're like, that's why there's so many unwanted babies with people Oh my gosh. Children grow up. The love with no love because people are fucking around with real love. And when you use your words, you're casting spells out into the planet. You're you're literally speaking into the universe. And when you speak lies and you have no word, you have no beginning to anything because in the beginning, there was the word. So if you're speaking fucking nothing, what what are you bringing into this existence? You know? So kinda going back to Bitcoin. I have a bit of Bitcoin, and I'm saying this is we're not gonna sell this for twenty years, thirty years. Who cares? This can go into my daughters. But what I'm saying is kinda going back into Bitcoin, a lot of people don't trust it. You know? So I'm spending the majority of my Bitcoin, all of my fucking money. I can't even afford a house. I live in a beautiful place because I rent, but I can't afford because I'm building the dream here. And we're gonna have a Bitcoin retirement. We're gonna have we're building this economy here, and it's not gonna be a % circular, only Bitcoin. It's it's not about that. My main main thing is be able to teach women how they can fucking feed their kids. That's all I care about. And have them make more money than they used to make. And then seeing these families that were basically slaves to the coffee world, because the coffee world is fucking pure slavery.
How can we have these families go out on the weekend and take their kids to to the mall and walk around or go have a beach trip, which they never could? So that's that's the main plan. It's that's way my priority over than being a Bitcoin missionary. You know? But but it's it's a beautiful story that when it works, if it works, it can be something that could be duplicated. That's why I say break the conscious barrier of how we can live as human beings, how we can live as human beings, where we can become sovereign, and how badass is it when you're not living in a state of you know, let me let me see here. When people are living in a state of not abundance, you are in this constant, you steal more, you lie more, you you hold on more You asshole more. Concept.
Yeah. You know? So so we're building. We're spending, and it's in the purpose of of really helping people to become sovereign. And the only way you can do that is by building a community. One person can't do shit. You know? I don't do anything. Everyone's like, oh, thank you. I'm like, don't thank me. Thank the 6,000,000 people in my my TikTok who've donated at least a dollar. Thank those people. It's a community. It's the hive. And and and so that's what we wanna create. We wanna create this hive, this movement of where people can invest. And who gives a shit if fucking Bitcoins worth $20,000,000 in ten years? I don't care because I've enjoyed my life while I have my health in this moment, and I'm helping the people now with jobs like Marcos, amazing employee. You know? We have beautiful employees that are able to pay for the medicine for their kids, and we're creating something that's inspiring people. You know? The whole the whole other mission of this is every single employee every 37 of our gardeners are becoming trained on permaculture, are becoming trained on how not to use Monsanto, are becoming trained on how to make your own pest controls, how you can mix certain plants and herbs to push away mosquitoes, to push away ants, to push away.
And and and right now, we don't know shit. And maybe in ten years, we still don't know shit. It's a very nature. You can never truly master nature. It's something you have to be a million year old master that. But we're we're mastering what we can and with the time that we have now with with the people that we believe are the smartest in in that scenario, the wisest, I guess. But that's why I'm spending my Bitcoin to be able to create this mission because we are already training neighbors on how to take care of the fucking planet. And all these Bitcoiners are bitching about the food is so unhealthy. Oh, the food is so unhealthy.
Well, everyone's living as a fucking cheap ass. Like, you go to a party and it's like, oh, actually, you need to you need to zap me you need to zap me over, like, $7 in Bitcoin to be able to eat something. I don't wanna fucking live like that. You know what I mean? Because nobody wants to spend anything because they wanna hold on to it with the idea of becoming rich one day. If I keep holding, I will become rich one day. And not everybody, but most people and I'm around Bitcoiners every single day of my damn life. And and I'm a Bitcoiner. And I mean, I go through that mentality of, like, oh, maybe I can be rich for my family if I don't sell my fucking Bitcoin. We're humans. You know? We have that that need of being able to take care of me, me, me, or our family. You know? But what's more important to me than all the Bitcoin in in my wallet is being able to say if if when shit hits the fan, when the dollar goes to shit, when, you know, a a world war breaks out, when the next COVID happens, I have a place where my daughter can eat healthy food, where she has clean water, where we know how to take care of the earth, where we're not spraying chemicals that's leaking into the neighbor's farms.
This is the world we need to be living at and not saying, oh, I'm really wealthy with you know? And and and spend and re refill. Spend and refill. You know? It's not just like spend, spend, spend. The whole idea is if more people build up on Bitcoin mountain, more hotels, more all of this, clean food, charging damn Bitcoin, recoup your wallet. You know?
[00:57:51] Unknown:
You do know. And so that's what's fun about talking to you because you do know. And, I think about people who are afraid of spending Bitcoin. Right? Like, we whether it's full dApp, whether it's any of it. Like, spend and replace is so important, you guys. Every single time Yeah. You use the SWIFT network and the fiat rails, you're saying, hello. I'm voting for violence. Every time you say, fuck off, I'm gonna go over here and use lightning or use Bitcoin, you're saying, hello. I'm voting for decentralization and peace.
It doesn't matter if it's a dollar. Doesn't matter if it's $10 or $10,000. Every single time that we do those choices, we're we're voting for this system or this system. And it's tough because a lot I'm and I'm guilty because a lot of times, I'm like, well, I've just got my Fiat bank account. My mortgage goes here and and I don't if I have to go make a couple of fucking steps and it cost me 2%, like, why would I do that? And and I don't. But as we keep just, like, bit by bit dismantling the old system because we're making new choices Yeah. In the new system, it will eliminate itself.
We don't have to be violent about it. You know? Jeff Booth, Becky Fuller, we all talk about, like, what's the new way to build the new way? It's to build it. It's not about, like, destroying the old way. It's just build the new way and let people opt into that thing. You know? And, I feel like what you're doing is so, so important, Erin. And, I don't think a lot of people get it. Like, I don't think enough people know what you're doing.
[00:59:58] Unknown:
Yeah. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing. But I didn't say you know what the outcome was. You know what you're Yeah. You do know what you're doing. Like, dude Yeah. Like, you fucking totally know what you're doing. Just following principles of it's following principles of love. Right? And everyone comes from a spiritual going back into what I was saying, where you take the premise of it and it is love. And there are so many things where my my spiritual story comes from the Bible. You know? So if you want to truly know god, god is within. You gotta go deep. When you focus on the outside, you're focusing on wealth. You're focusing on material things. You gotta focus on the inside where heaven lies. And if you want to find me, give everything you have to the poor. And that was my true here. Take this. And all of a sudden, boom. You know? I I had a I had a video once where I went back to the lady who took me in, and I spent a quarter million dollars. I built her a beautiful Airbnb that helped her make thousands of dollars a month. I built two homes and I bought a very modern house. I built her I bought her son a 2023 brand new semi truck where you can make $57,000 a month. He's a truck driver making $3.50 and I bought him his own truck. Fully paid off. Changed their lives financially. And that video brought me in, like, a half a million dollars, but it's the concept of I wasn't wanting to make it. I was feeling like I have too much money in my account. I need to spend it. These people are the reason why I am where I am, but it comes back.
So I wanna find a charger real quick, but people are too afraid of of of spending. But when you truly spend, why do people wanna have Bitcoin? Why do they wanna they wanna change the old system? You know? They wanna change the old system. And and that system now is is a less greedy, a more honest. Okay. Well, that system needs to start with how we treat people, with how we we love one another. One of my one of my best friends, one of my best friends from all of my twenties died a few weeks ago, and I love John. He was very cheap. He didn't spend anything.
[01:02:08] Unknown:
Well, richest oh, oops. You just lost oh, gosh. Now I'm crying, and now here he's gone. I know he'll bounce bounce back in a second. He was saying he was the richest of all of us. What does richness mean? Does it mean, like, you've got numbers in your bank account, or does it mean you've got memories in your, book of life? You know? And I think so many of us think, like, riches mean numbers, but riches actually mean, memories. So, wow, this has been an interesting experience. This was not what I was expecting on my birthday on 03/28/2025.
I hope Aaron jumps back on soon. I will tell him, like, get on. What are your big dreams for the year? Are they helping other people? Are they helping yourself? Are they getting you out of your pit of despair? What makes you feel better? Whatever it is, I wish it for you. So, Oh my goodness. I have so many messages. Yes. Alright, Aaron. I know he's been struggling with some connectivity issues. Everybody who's listening, what would be one thing? One thing that would make you feel like, oh my god. Everything's better now. It's all better.
She called me. He called me. Here we go, Erin. Yay. Hi, honey. Hi. That's my wife. She just turned it back off. Hi, wife. I haven't met your wife. What is her name?

[01:05:59] Unknown:

[01:06:05] Unknown:
Yeah. Okay.
[01:06:07] Unknown:
Well, let's let's wrap this up. Okay? Let's wrap it up.
[01:06:11] Unknown:
My point I'll I'll give you my point here. Yes. Point it up. So Johnny d was a good friend of mine k. Since my young days, one of my best friends. We chatted, you know, all throughout the growth of Murph's life. You know, his mom's trying to get into his wallet. I don't think she ever will. He never ended up spending his money. He never ended up spending his Bitcoin, his his coins. He didn't do anything with it for humanity. He did absolutely fuck all, and I love John. And I'm this is nothing to talk. My point is we don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. I think what a shame because if I had his wallet, if I was him, I would have done the exact same you know, I would have been doing he could have done so much beautiful things with it.
You know?
[01:07:09] Unknown:
Yes. I don't know because I don't know how big his wallet was. You know? If you have a 1 Bitcoin wallet versus a 1,000 Bitcoin wallet,
[01:07:16] Unknown:
you do different things. Yeah. It was definitely not a 1 Bitcoin. He was trying to get me into this in, like, 2013. He was the one who who told me about, I I learned from him, you know. I never listened to him. I never started buying until 2017. Yeah. I think that's when most people jumped on the bandwagon. But that it did that's what I'm talking about. We are all going to die, and this is the great importance of not storing up so much earthly wealth. Yeah. But storing up treasures in heaven. And this is inside, and and and doesn't mean to not be financially responsible. It is to be financially responsible. It is to save and to say a percentage of my money, I will hold for however long. And, yes, I might you know, I wanna contribute to the growth of Bitcoin, so maybe I'll burn x amount, and that'll never be able to be touched. But what I'm saying is the the mentality of every bit of money you get, which is very common with a lot of people.
And and and I think for me, it's like, if everyone spent 70% let's just say this. Right? To those who can to those who can, if everyone spent, let's say, 10% of their Bitcoin and we created millions of acres of sustainable food farms, and we sold a large percentage of it to organic food where people could buy, wouldn't that story create a massive adoption? It would. And and that's that's that's what I am aiming towards. I'm not selling a %. We're selling a large amount. And one day, many people and already many people are seeing the fruits of the labor. We're running women's shelters, and it's working. We're feeding them organic food from our farms in Ecuador, from our farms here in El Salvador.
People have jobs, and and that's, you know, that's that. You know? I don't know anything really else to say about that.
[01:09:26] Unknown:
Well, it sounds like you are on the bandwagon of many of us who wanna have, I suppose, different ways of looking at Bitcoin and how we can orange peel each other. And I say each other because it's like, you guys teach me. Every time you do something, I'm like, oh gosh. I didn't know about that. I'm gonna take some notes and learn. So it's not like we're some force of nature that Yeah. Is a is a one way street. It's a two way street. But I don't know. I think we have a long way to go. I think we have a great army. I think we have, a lot of love in our pockets.
And, yeah, I think we're gonna do okay, but I have to go. It is almost the next call right now. But Murph's life, Aaron, like, everybody, I want you guys to be able to find him at murph'slifefoundation.com. And I want you guys to go to x.com/Murph'slife. What's the number one thing you need right now, Aaron? I just wanna keep building. Just donations to keep building. But, like, but, like, if you had, like, a if you had a super special donor that wasn't just gonna throw you some sats or dollars, like, what would be the thing? Like, what do you want?
[01:11:05] Unknown:
More farms.
[01:11:07] Unknown:
More farms. Okay. Cool. Alright, guys. You heard it you heard it here. And, hopefully, we can make that happen. So, Erin, thanks so much for taking your time. I know we've had a little bit of a technical opportunity.
[01:11:28] Unknown:
It worked. We had a great chat. And we we can do it again with with better lap my side, better laptop next time. Well, hopefully, when I'm there in May, I'll be able to do see you in person.
[01:11:40] Unknown:
Even better. Alright. Cool. Alright, everybody. Peace love and warm aloha. And thanks again, Aaron, for tuning in. And I'll talk to you guys soon.
[01:11:48] Unknown:
