Tell me about your vision.
Yeah, so I envision a free, more fair economy.
And I think both the projects I'm working on,
they help go to that.
So I think as a human collective,
I think of everything in terms of energy, frequency,
and vibration.
And I think as a collective, we're slowly raising.
And I think there are tools that we can use to get there.
So I envision a free, more fair economy
that's based on where value creation is incentivized
versus value extraction.
And once value creation is incentivized,
that's where people's energy is going.
More people are creating value for more other people.
And then at that point, that's when
people can leave the scarcity mindset
and then start operating from the mindset of abundance.
And when you're in that mindset of abundance,
that's where you can really help other people.
And then it just becomes a snowballing effect
where we create a much better society.
That's interesting.
Tell me more about that.
Yeah, so in terms of value creation and value,
value extraction versus value creation,
this is actually why I got into cryptocurrency.
This is what drew me to cryptocurrency.
So my overall goal was to live a nice, peaceful life.
I found that to be difficult to do
if I felt the money system was corrupt,
a.k.a. stealing from me, stealing from you every second
of every single day, funding god knows what.
So that's where I felt the money system was.
That led me to physical gold and physical silver
as a potential solution to that.
And then Bitcoin was just the next evolution of that.
So that's where that Bitcoin found me.
And ChopX, one of my companies, is a way
to onboard people into that ecosystem at scale.
So what I mean by value creation versus value extraction,
I think of money as neutral.
So I think of money as energy.
So I think if people make money in bad ways,
I think karma is a real thing.
It'll come back to bite you in the ass
all the time.
But you can make money in good ways
and add more value to people's lives.
I think that's good.
So right now, if I wanted to become as rich as possible
without producing any value for anyone else,
how would I do that?
I would place myself right next to the money printer,
extract as much money as I can from there,
steal from me, steal from you, steal from everyone,
to enrich myself.
And then I will give that money to my friends
in the form of government contracts, political deals,
and all that bad stuff.
So let's say I'm next to the money printer.
I have access to unlimited money.
I get a position in power because I have unlimited money.
I get two of my friends who are also corrupt.
Now the three of us are three corrupt people
in a position of power with access to unlimited money.
We're gonna beat the people, the good people,
who wanna do good because they don't have access
to the unlimited money.
So that's how corruption spreads from the top.
So when I mean value creation,
I think cryptocurrency solves that
because in a Bitcoin world, or at least a gold world
for that matter, but Bitcoin is just a better version
of that, how would I get your,
let's say I want your Bitcoin and I do want your Bitcoin.
If I wanted to get your Bitcoin,
how would I get your Bitcoin?
The only way for me to get your Bitcoin
is for me to produce something of value for you
and then you voluntarily give that to me.
So in a value creation society,
imagine if everyone has that mindset of like,
well, I wanna become rich, how do I become rich?
The only thing I can do is create as much value
for as many people as possible.
I think that has very positive effects in our generation.
But if you think of generations on the line,
I think that's gonna be compounding effect.
And then AI plays in that as a tool
that people can leverage so they can better create companies
based on their skills.
Like for example, I could be a,
I'm Filipino, so I just say examples
against racism, but let's say 50 years ago
I was born in the Filipino slums.
That's where I'm likely gonna die, that's usually my path.
But let's say with AI and cryptocurrency,
now I'm born in the Filipino slums,
I have this down-line, it's like e-commerce is my jam.
I wanna do e-commerce, how do I do this?
I use AI to create graphics, create a website,
create a copy, create a content flow,
and then now I can produce a company much faster
than I could earlier.
And earlier that would cost a bunch of money,
I'd have to hire people, I don't have that money.
I created my company, great.
I can now use cryptocurrency to access
a free global marketplace, great.
Those are two things.
And let's say that company fails.
Well, okay, it failed, so what?
I learned from something, at least I was able to do it,
and now my next attempt is usually better.
So me as a Filipino slum kid,
I could actually try stuff now
so it's a more even playing field.
And then I'm operating from a sense of authenticity,
which obviously is a good thing.
And would you say your kind of why as well?
Your why is just to provide a value?
No, I mean, obviously providing value is a good thing.
I think everyone has two whys.
So I think everyone has an inner purpose
and an outer purpose.
I think everyone's inner purpose is the same.
So I think, again, if you go back to scale,
like if you think of everything in terms of energy,
frequency, vibration, there's a scale from zero to a thousand,
and I'm gonna shout out David R. Hawkins
for it's a good book, Power Purses Force,
where each emotional state
is a different vibrational frequency.
So like shame, anger, hate,
those are all lower frequencies,
whereas love, joy, enlightenment,
all those are higher frequencies.
So my goal, my inner purpose
is to raise my own level of consciousness,
whether it be interacting with good people,
doing good things, eating good food,
consuming good content,
I'm trying to raise my own level of consciousness.
And this raises the conscious level of those around me
and raises those around them,
create a positivity spiral.
And the outer purpose is how do you leverage
your natural gifts to support your inner purpose?
And this just happened to be a dating app
and a cryptocurrency company.
That is interesting way to put it.
Do you also do, I'm guessing, like affirmations?
Yeah, no, I do affirmations.
I do meditation, I do.
I'm a big believer in the woo woo.
I think the woo woo works.
It works for me, so I'm not gonna necessarily,
it's working for me.
Works for me, right?
Let's rename affirmations to programming.
So if you think about it as you're just like,
if you think of yourself as computer software,
the content you're consuming,
the people you're talking to,
everything is trying to program you to do something.
So if you're getting programmed anyways,
why not program yourself some affirmations
to make you think, make you more confident,
make you happy, make you more valuable?
So like, why not do that?
That's a great way to put it.
That is an amazing way to put it.
I've never heard of that.
People say programming per se.
Yeah, that's a more, I would say Gen Z
and millennial term, right?
Yeah.
They will get that more.
I would say so.
Yeah, yeah, thanks for sharing that.
I'm gonna keep that in the notes.
So what is your essentially goal for being on the show?
Yeah, so my goal is to spread positivity
and it goes back to the purpose of raising
my own level of consciousness
and raising those level of consciousness around me.
So let's say we go on the show,
one person leaves the show slightly higher vibe
than they went on the show.
And then that one person goes into the inner circle.
They go outside in the world,
they interact with people since they have a higher vibe,
since they listen to our show,
they raise the vibe of those around them,
create that spiral.
So my goal is just to affect one person in a positive way.
And I have a business goal too.
The business goal is I think everything we transcribe
on the internet is getting,
like everything we get is getting recorded.
So my goal is to create voice searchable content.
So my audience for the show is yes,
it will be the listeners,
but it's also the bots that are transcribing
our whole conversation.
So hopefully if someone searches like,
what is Web3 or what is AI powered matchmaking?
They find our clip
and then that leads them down their own rabbit hole.
So that's more tangible business side to goal.
And it's also fun meeting people on podcasts to be honest.
