1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,840
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Yeah, so I envision a free, more fair economy.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,600
And I think both the projects I'm working on,

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,560
they help go to that.

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,520
So I think as a human collective,

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,640
I think of everything in terms of energy, frequency,

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,120
and vibration.

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,960
And I think as a collective, we're slowly raising.

9
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,360
And I think there are tools that we can use to get there.

10
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,920
So I envision a free, more fair economy

11
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,800
that's based on where value creation is incentivized

12
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,240
versus value extraction.

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,120
And once value creation is incentivized,

14
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,320
that's where people's energy is going.

15
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,400
More people are creating value for more other people.

16
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,740
And then at that point, that's when

17
00:00:37,740 --> 00:00:39,880
people can leave the scarcity mindset

18
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,720
and then start operating from the mindset of abundance.

19
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,480
And when you're in that mindset of abundance,

20
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:46,320
that's where you can really help other people.

21
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,280
And then it just becomes a snowballing effect

22
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,520
where we create a much better society.

23
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,200
That's interesting.

24
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,360
Tell me more about that.

25
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,720
Yeah, so in terms of value creation and value,

26
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,640
value extraction versus value creation,

27
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,520
this is actually why I got into cryptocurrency.

28
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,360
This is what drew me to cryptocurrency.

29
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,960
So my overall goal was to live a nice, peaceful life.

30
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:10,480
I found that to be difficult to do

31
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,440
if I felt the money system was corrupt,

32
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,360
a.k.a. stealing from me, stealing from you every second

33
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,400
of every single day, funding god knows what.

34
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,480
So that's where I felt the money system was.

35
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,920
That led me to physical gold and physical silver

36
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,960
as a potential solution to that.

37
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,520
And then Bitcoin was just the next evolution of that.

38
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,080
So that's where that Bitcoin found me.

39
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,440
And ChopX, one of my companies, is a way

40
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,840
to onboard people into that ecosystem at scale.

41
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,920
So what I mean by value creation versus value extraction,

42
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,120
I think of money as neutral.

43
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,920
So I think of money as energy.

44
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,200
So I think if people make money in bad ways,

45
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,440
I think karma is a real thing.

46
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,440
It'll come back to bite you in the ass

47
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,360
all the time.

48
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,740
But you can make money in good ways

49
00:01:50,740 --> 00:01:52,280
and add more value to people's lives.

50
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,440
I think that's good.

51
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,160
So right now, if I wanted to become as rich as possible

52
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,560
without producing any value for anyone else,

53
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,120
how would I do that?

54
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,040
I would place myself right next to the money printer,

55
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,080
extract as much money as I can from there,

56
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,000
steal from me, steal from you, steal from everyone,

57
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,120
to enrich myself.

58
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,920
And then I will give that money to my friends

59
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:12,960
in the form of government contracts, political deals,

60
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,280
and all that bad stuff.

61
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,080
So let's say I'm next to the money printer.

62
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,040
I have access to unlimited money.

63
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,440
I get a position in power because I have unlimited money.

64
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,640
I get two of my friends who are also corrupt.

65
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,480
Now the three of us are three corrupt people

66
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,880
in a position of power with access to unlimited money.

67
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,760
We're gonna beat the people, the good people,

68
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,200
who wanna do good because they don't have access

69
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,320
to the unlimited money.

70
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,040
So that's how corruption spreads from the top.

71
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,840
So when I mean value creation,

72
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,560
I think cryptocurrency solves that

73
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,360
because in a Bitcoin world, or at least a gold world

74
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,080
for that matter, but Bitcoin is just a better version

75
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000
of that, how would I get your,

76
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,320
let's say I want your Bitcoin and I do want your Bitcoin.

77
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,680
If I wanted to get your Bitcoin,

78
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,160
how would I get your Bitcoin?

79
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,880
The only way for me to get your Bitcoin

80
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,560
is for me to produce something of value for you

81
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,960
and then you voluntarily give that to me.

82
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,320
So in a value creation society,

83
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,480
imagine if everyone has that mindset of like,

84
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,360
well, I wanna become rich, how do I become rich?

85
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,880
The only thing I can do is create as much value

86
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,120
for as many people as possible.

87
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,920
I think that has very positive effects in our generation.

88
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:13,440
But if you think of generations on the line,

89
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,240
I think that's gonna be compounding effect.

90
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,340
And then AI plays in that as a tool

91
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:19,840
that people can leverage so they can better create companies

92
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,680
based on their skills.

93
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,720
Like for example, I could be a,

94
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,280
I'm Filipino, so I just say examples

95
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,360
against racism, but let's say 50 years ago

96
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,080
I was born in the Filipino slums.

97
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,620
That's where I'm likely gonna die, that's usually my path.

98
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:34,960
But let's say with AI and cryptocurrency,

99
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,280
now I'm born in the Filipino slums,

100
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,720
I have this down-line, it's like e-commerce is my jam.

101
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,720
I wanna do e-commerce, how do I do this?

102
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,440
I use AI to create graphics, create a website,

103
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440
create a copy, create a content flow,

104
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,480
and then now I can produce a company much faster

105
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,880
than I could earlier.

106
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,620
And earlier that would cost a bunch of money,

107
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:54,640
I'd have to hire people, I don't have that money.

108
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,320
I created my company, great.

109
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,000
I can now use cryptocurrency to access

110
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,760
a free global marketplace, great.

111
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,860
Those are two things.

112
00:04:00,860 --> 00:04:02,340
And let's say that company fails.

113
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:04,480
Well, okay, it failed, so what?

114
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,660
I learned from something, at least I was able to do it,

115
00:04:06,660 --> 00:04:08,720
and now my next attempt is usually better.

116
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,280
So me as a Filipino slum kid,

117
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,800
I could actually try stuff now

118
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,800
so it's a more even playing field.

119
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,600
And then I'm operating from a sense of authenticity,

120
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,600
which obviously is a good thing.

121
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,160
And would you say your kind of why as well?

122
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Your why is just to provide a value?

123
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,960
No, I mean, obviously providing value is a good thing.

124
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,760
I think everyone has two whys.

125
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,300
So I think everyone has an inner purpose

126
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:35,880
and an outer purpose.

127
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,900
I think everyone's inner purpose is the same.

128
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,200
So I think, again, if you go back to scale,

129
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,340
like if you think of everything in terms of energy,

130
00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:45,840
frequency, vibration, there's a scale from zero to a thousand,

131
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,320
and I'm gonna shout out David R. Hawkins

132
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,440
for it's a good book, Power Purses Force,

133
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,560
where each emotional state

134
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,040
is a different vibrational frequency.

135
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,800
So like shame, anger, hate,

136
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,960
those are all lower frequencies,

137
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,280
whereas love, joy, enlightenment,

138
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,020
all those are higher frequencies.

139
00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:00,960
So my goal, my inner purpose

140
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,040
is to raise my own level of consciousness,

141
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,720
whether it be interacting with good people,

142
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,800
doing good things, eating good food,

143
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,880
consuming good content,

144
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,160
I'm trying to raise my own level of consciousness.

145
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,480
And this raises the conscious level of those around me

146
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,600
and raises those around them,

147
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,280
create a positivity spiral.

148
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,320
And the outer purpose is how do you leverage

149
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,520
your natural gifts to support your inner purpose?

150
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,920
And this just happened to be a dating app

151
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,420
and a cryptocurrency company.

152
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,880
That is interesting way to put it.

153
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,660
Do you also do, I'm guessing, like affirmations?

154
00:05:36,620 --> 00:05:37,760
Yeah, no, I do affirmations.

155
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,900
I do meditation, I do.

156
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:40,160
I'm a big believer in the woo woo.

157
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,520
I think the woo woo works.

158
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,520
It works for me, so I'm not gonna necessarily,

159
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,800
it's working for me.

160
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,920
Works for me, right?

161
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,600
Let's rename affirmations to programming.

162
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,360
So if you think about it as you're just like,

163
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,420
if you think of yourself as computer software,

164
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:55,040
the content you're consuming,

165
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:55,880
the people you're talking to,

166
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,260
everything is trying to program you to do something.

167
00:05:58,260 --> 00:06:00,800
So if you're getting programmed anyways,

168
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,560
why not program yourself some affirmations

169
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,160
to make you think, make you more confident,

170
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,640
make you happy, make you more valuable?

171
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,160
So like, why not do that?

172
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,080
That's a great way to put it.

173
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,080
That is an amazing way to put it.

174
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,920
I've never heard of that.

175
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,040
People say programming per se.

176
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,720
Yeah, that's a more, I would say Gen Z

177
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,720
and millennial term, right?

178
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Yeah.

179
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,000
They will get that more.

180
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,080
I would say so.

181
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,900
Yeah, yeah, thanks for sharing that.

182
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:31,240
I'm gonna keep that in the notes.

183
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,800
So what is your essentially goal for being on the show?

184
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,540
Yeah, so my goal is to spread positivity

185
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:39,480
and it goes back to the purpose of raising

186
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,720
my own level of consciousness

187
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,800
and raising those level of consciousness around me.

188
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,420
So let's say we go on the show,

189
00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:47,200
one person leaves the show slightly higher vibe

190
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,240
than they went on the show.

191
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,240
And then that one person goes into the inner circle.

192
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,200
They go outside in the world,

193
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,960
they interact with people since they have a higher vibe,

194
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,520
since they listen to our show,

195
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,900
they raise the vibe of those around them,

196
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:56,740
create that spiral.

197
00:06:56,740 --> 00:06:59,440
So my goal is just to affect one person in a positive way.

198
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,560
And I have a business goal too.

199
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,080
The business goal is I think everything we transcribe

200
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,080
on the internet is getting,

201
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,960
like everything we get is getting recorded.

202
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,360
So my goal is to create voice searchable content.

203
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,280
So my audience for the show is yes,

204
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,280
it will be the listeners,

205
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,280
but it's also the bots that are transcribing

206
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,280
our whole conversation.

207
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,160
So hopefully if someone searches like,

208
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,600
what is Web3 or what is AI powered matchmaking?

209
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,440
They find our clip

210
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,140
and then that leads them down their own rabbit hole.

211
00:07:23,140 --> 00:07:25,080
So that's more tangible business side to goal.

212
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,880
And it's also fun meeting people on podcasts to be honest.

213
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,240
