1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,160
Yeah, so I envision a free, more fair economy.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,600
And I think both the projects I'm working on,

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

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,520
So I think as a human collective,

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,680
I think of everything in terms of energy, frequency,

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,080
and vibration.

8
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,880
And I think as a collective, we're slowly raising.

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,400
And I think there are tools that we can use to get there.

10
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,200
So I envision a free, more fair economy that's

11
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,560
based on where value creation is incentivized versus value

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,240
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 --> 00:00:37,780
And then at that point, that's when

17
00:00:37,780 --> 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 --> 00:00:44,520
And when you're in that mindset of abundance,

20
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,320
that's where you can really help other people.

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

22
00:00:48,320 --> 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 --> 00:00:56,320
Tell me more about that.

25
00:00:56,320 --> 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 --> 00:01:29,600
And then Bitcoin was just the next evolution of that.

38
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,180
So that's where that Bitcoin found me.

39
00:01:31,180 --> 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 --> 00:01:43,880
So I think of money as energy.

44
00:01:43,880 --> 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 --> 00:01:50,760
But you can make money in good ways

49
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,320
and add more value to people's lives.

50
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,480
I think that's good.

51
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,160
So right now, if I wanted to become as rich as possible

52
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,520
without producing any value for anyone else,

53
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,080
how would I do that?

54
00:02:01,080 --> 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 --> 00:02:09,040
to enrich myself.

58
00:02:09,040 --> 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 limited money.

63
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,440
I get a position in power because I have limited 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 limited 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 amount of 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 --> 00:03:15,280
I think that's gonna be compounding effect.

90
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,320
And then AI plays in that as a tool

91
00:03:17,320 --> 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 --> 00:03:32,640
That's where I'm likely gonna die, that's usually my path.

98
00:03:32,640 --> 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 --> 00:03:52,640
And earlier that would cost a bunch of money,

107
00:03:52,640 --> 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 --> 00:04:00,840
Those are two things.

112
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,360
And let's say that company fails.

113
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,480
Well, okay, it failed, so what?

114
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,680
I learned from something, at least I was able to do it,

115
00:04:06,680 --> 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.
