Biden issued an executive order in March of 2022 called Executive Order 14067, and it actually authorized the federal government to not only explore CBDC, but to take a whole of government approach to cracking down on crypto, which they've done. So whether it's the IRS or the DOJ or the Treasury or the CFTC, this is what they've been doing.
And so, you know, I have multiple friends that are in prison that didn't commit any crimes that actually have gotten swept up in this. And it's basically a complete dragnet. And then Elizabeth Warren with her consumer protection board has been going crazy over this as well.
So this has been a deliberate politicized attempt to weaponize the banking system to go after enemies in a very targeted basis. And I'll say this, this is really interesting to do, is go and read the contract that you have with your bank. What you will find is four things. One, they can cancel your account without cause.
Two, they can actually sell or share your data, financial transactions, without your consent. They can change the fees without your consent. And then they can change the whole terms of the contract without your consent. This is the default nature of the relationship that we have with the banking system. And then truck point 1.0 and 2.0 are just layers on top of that.
Why wouldn't buy Bitcoin for a whole variety of reasons? It's slow, expensive, and it's actually trackable. And now, you know, the government basically can identify all of your transactions and then basically decide, well, we're going to have a whitelist or a blacklist. And so this means that Bitcoin isn't fungible. One Bitcoin... isn't the same as the other.
One thing about gold is you've got to make sure with all of these things, and this is true also of cryptocurrency, you want to have these assets in your own self-custody. And I will say I've been living out of the banking system. I actually got rid of a personal bank account in 2019. So I live on crypto, gold and silver. So I'm very acutely aware of the ins and outs and the pros and cons of this.
And so very recently I've been interested in, and it's because Roger pointed it out, privacy coins. we really need to go back to having private money. I mean, that's what cash always was. We always had this presumption that our financial transactions were private. And now it's the complete opposite. Now it's AI working with the banks or Bitcoin, which is completely an open ledger that's tracked.
So you use privacy cryptocurrencies. If you are going to use gold and silver, I actually use goldbacks. I actually carry these things. It's one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold. You can actually spend gold in spendable form. And I think one of the most interesting things is the actual merger of precious metals and crypto.
So imagine having a cryptocurrency, a privacy cryptocurrency, that's actually backed by gold, that you can redeem for physical gold, but that's separate from the state. So I think there are some really interesting models here where we can get the best of both worlds.
But, you know, Bitcoin isn't the answer, and certainly we have to look out for all of the surveillance going on with the traditional banking system.
Not yet, but the one that I know of will be in 2025.
Well, yeah, what I like to say, well, I'm sorry. I was going to say it's the 99% of crypto that makes the other 1% look bad.
No, I was meant to put this up a little bit later, but actually I pressed the button too early. But this is about how they were able to take a system that's not quite like Bitcoin, but they were able to.
It's obvious that they arrested the founder of Telegram and really put the pressure on him and said, hey, you got to give us some back doors here because and they say it's always to protect the children. It always comes back to that. It's to protect the children. And that's how they're going to try and get their claws into crypto with Bitcoin. They're saying, well, it's to stop child trafficking.
That's their excuse every single time to take away freedoms. It always goes back to it because it's the easiest way to convince people. Aaron, go ahead.
I was going to say, Roger has done more to spread digital cash across the world, literally, than anyone. And it's not just Bitcoin. A lot of people don't know this. Roger's invested in well over 40 companies. I mean, you can go to his website, rogervere.com, and you can see all the different things. And his emphasis has always been not on one particular coin or another.
It's been on, you know, experimenting in the marketplace and finding which cryptocurrencies work the best for people all over the world. So he hasn't been As much as he has the name Bitcoin Jesus, he hasn't been religious about it at all, or particularly weighing in on one or the other. The third most valuable cryptocurrency is a currency called XRP. Roger was the co-founder of that.
And now he's spending a lot of his time on privacy coins. I think the reason that he is arrested is part that he exposed that Bitcoin was hijacked, which this could be a whole other segment, but basically the people that hijacked and made the changes to Bitcoin to keep it slow and expensive so that it isn't usable as cash, those same people funded all three US CBDC pilots.
So now Bitcoin has been taken out of the running. It can't be used as an alternative to CBDCs, and the same people that made those changes are actually funding the CBDC development. So Roger was exposing that, I had actually interviewed him about three weeks before he was arrested, and he was about to start to get real traction on this, and the world was about to learn about it.
But the other thing is, three days before he was arrested, he was at a cryptocurrency conference talking about the importance of privacy coins and privacy tokens as a way to stop central bank digital tyranny. So Roger was not only exposing the hijacking, But he was also starting to come out and talk about what some tangible solutions are.
