Looking forward to it. My guess is it builds on Jason Lowery's Bitcoin as non-lethal warfare.

Lowery actually tweeted out a link to this ep. Spoke very highly of Kwast in the tweet too
Did he! He's so cool. 👍
💯 worth the time to listen. Deep understanding of the art of war, talked about 5G, combat tactics, financial impact, studying and learning new technologies, anyone can learn something new from this episode.
Lt Gen Kwast has previously talked about the ability to harvest solar energy in space and convert it to radio waves. Then send it down to earth, and then reconvert it into electricity. This takes away the atmospheric degradation of solar energy. Currently solar is roughly 30% efficient. Kwast says harvesting it in space and send it down this way increase to near 80%, I think (going of memory). Huge implications for energy devouring BTC. I previously posted the talk I speak of along with Major Jason Lowry’s talk at MIT explaining his, now banned, book Softwar. He explains how BTC will be used as a weapon against other countries. Seems like he was letting the cat out of the bag too soon so they muzzled him. Excited to see if things are tightening up around these technologies and ideas. I’ll add an edit if I can find a link to my previous post.

BTW, the Kwast talk was near the end of the 2nd linked video. I put timestamps to make it easy.
Quite good. General’s framework is stunningly good and well explained. Required FROG viewing!
Agree. Great conversation.
I need to make a copypasta for whenever crypto gets mentioned here. DYOR but I am a cryptofag.
Bitcoin (BTC, the coin; the bitcoin protocol gets denoted with a lowercase "b") was hijacked prior to 2017, specifically, around 2015 is when Blockstream cemented their control.
Fees were slowly rising on the bitcoin network and in 2017 things came to a head with "The Blocksize Wars". There came about opposing views on how to scale bitcoin, one side wanted to scale bitcoin the way Satoshi intended by removing the 1MB blocksize cap that was put in place to prevent those that might seek to spam the network with transactions (because the transaction costs were cheap and affordable, those with ill-intend could bring the network to a halt) by increasing the blocksize (in a reasonable way). The other side wanted to not change the blocksize and went about manipulating the code with SegWit, which activated in 2017, causing a split in bitcoin, Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). This separation of the witness data that was originally in the block then moved to it's own separate thing "freeing" up blockspace, resulted in a new definition, block weight. Segwit gives Bitcoin a theoretical size of 4MB, but in actuality they're closer to 2-3MB at most. It has an estimated transaction speed of 7 tps (will come into play later as well with Lightning/L2 solutions). Hardly a threat to Visa's 1000+x tps. This was all done to fight off centralization of miners and allow hobbyists to run a node off their Raspberry Pi.
Why does this all matter? Transaction costs, banking the unbanked, giving the power of money back to the people, being in control of cash used everyday.
Bitcoin is no longer any of that, the narrative (who likes to change definitions and narratives?! Hint: It often isn't the good guys) has shifted to digital gold, numbers go up nonsense. It's become a get in, get out, get rich ponzi where you sell your stack to an even greater fool, or worse yet, the forever HODLers (what's the point of buying Bitcoin if you're never going to use it, it's become a pet rock at that point). Bitcoin was supposed to be used as a way to transact in a fast and affordable manner, now, at 7 tps, with even just 100,000,000 people making one transaction, how many years will it take (you do the math)? It's just not feasible and actually leads to heavy centralization, the very thing they were supposedly trying to avoid.
Bitcoin Cash is the continuation of the bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto created and scales in way that allows for the world to use it, on chain, with cheap fees, and in a fast and trustless manner.
Monero (XMR) while having no relation to bitcoin and cannot claim to share the genesis block (both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash have the same point of origin, because of the fork; Bitcoin Cash isn't squatting on the name Bitcoin as a brand new coin made in 2017 as some might think, it has traceable lineage to the very beginning) aims to be a form of digital cash, similar to Bitcoin Cash and the original intent of the bitcoin protocol (with some added privacy-rich features added to it).
TL;DR: BTC is a coin that seeks to recreate the status-quo of a centralized system (because it was hijacked by the bankers, and we know who control the bankers here) where the real value (on-chain, layer 1) gets redirected and routed through centralized hubs (Lightning Network, L2) bringing about an asset that the masses can not affordably move and transact with.
Bitcoin Cash seeks to scale on-chain by increasing the blocksize in a reasonable way that allows for the coin and network to be used and operated in a decentralized way so that BCH can be used here in the West as well as in lesser developed nations where a $5 BTC transaction fee (compared to a BCH tx fee of $0.009) might be all they make in a week.
TL;DRx2;
Take $10 of BTC and $10 of BCH and/or XMR, then take them off the exchange and put them in a hot wallet (think of a hot wallet as your actual wallet or checking account and a cold wallet as your savings account) and see how many transactions you can make and how fast BTC gets eaten up in fees. Actually use the coin and you'll find that the real world has a way of bringing things to light that tend to stay dark on twitter/internet.
As long as there are fees to use crypto it's not any better than fiat. We rent FERNs. If crypto replaces FERN then there's nothing to stop fees from escalating. Again, we're all fucked. Best thing is gold and silver, and a commodities backed and exchangeable currency, coined by the US Treasury, or whatever's left after the Great Fuckery.. No fees for exchanging goods and services.
Network fees are necessary to incentivize those who maintain and support the network. No fees means no network, which means no utility for the token. To say that fees make crypto no better than fiat is to similarly insist on "free" healthcare.
Healthcare isn't a means to exchange goods and services. Except by barter I suppose. If i want to use crypto and pay fees, fine. But I just want to use currency
Context is important here.
Bitcoin Cash was the brainchild of ANT, the Chinese mining equipment manufacturer. The reason it rubbed so many the wrong way was because of this. I went to the mining conference in Georgia (the country, not the state) back in 2018, and it was embarrassing how hard they were pushing this.
When you have a group that is basically pushing the little guy out of the mining space in favor of large, centralized mining farms, you can imagine that their ideas of what "Satoshi wanted" are going to be rejected by the vast majority.
BSV, the brainchild of the scam artist Craig Wright, also met a similar fate. I have a difficult time when people push propaganda onto those just discovering Bitcoin without having lived through the experience. The fact is BTC survived in its current form with SegWit because it was good enough and because it was being promoted by the guys who were, at least in theory, trying to argue for the original goals of decentralization.
As for not being a competitor to Visa for point of sale transactions, it was never meant to be. It was meant to be a replacement for the banking SWIFT and ACH system. By design Bitcoin requires at least 30 minutes to confirm a transaction. That was a good deal faster than the days it was taking an ACH to clear back in 2009, and even the 24 hours a wire transfer could take. And it was much cheaper as well.
This idea that Bitcoin was supposed to compete in the retail marketplace was something added later by people trying to stretch it into service for something it was never designed to do. That's when we got lightning network and all kinds of alternative crypto currencies with faster confirmation times. Bitcoin remains as a system for large money transfers, not for small retail transactions.
So a lot of what is said above is just propaganda reinterpreted by someone trying to push a particular agenda. It doesn't actually align with what really happened on the ground back in 2017 when all this was going down.
Go read the whitepaper. Go read the BitcoinTalk.org posts. Go back in time and see that Bitcoin was being used to buy pizzas, alpaca socks, Steam credit, Microsoft purchases, Newegg purchases, it was used at physical stores, and many many more. It isn't propoganda. "Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System". It wasn't ever meant to be just stonks numbers go up ponzi.
As for AntMiner, the company name is actually Bitmain, not ANT, Jihan Wu was far from the originator of Bitcoin Cash. They were just the biggest miner and ASIC manufacturer around and Jihan backed BCH but has since then distanced himself publicly from Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash was FORKED off by Amaury Sechet (who later went on to fork eCash from BCH).
Satoshi mentioned that mining operations would trend toward larger more centralized farms but that doesn't stop anyone from mining in the first place. The issue was blockspace...The issue was that big blocks would prevent people from home running a node to validate the ledger.
Go read the Lightning Network's whitepaper, 133MB blocks are stated. Not to mention the centralization that Lightning brings in it's current state.
It was always supposed to be for all kinds of transactions. What you wrote is literally Theymos and Blockstream propoganda, goal shifting, and misinterpretation.
Segwit fails to appropriately scale, RBF fails because it is a horrible replay feature that prevents 0-conf to be safely used, forcing transaction times to take longer for confirmation blocks. And by design, block times average out to 10 minutes, not 30.
What you're arguing for is a coin that was literally hijacked by the CIA and bankers trying to 2.0 the Babylon black money magic system.
TL;DR Bitcoin Cash was the "brainchild" of ANT - Debunked: It was forked off by Bitmain, bitcoin advocates and activists, along with a handful of developers after the failed XT blocksize increase project.
Pushing the little guy out of the mining space - Debunked: It was about the blocksize, miners were always going to trend into larger farms, as Satoshi indicated in a forum post.
BSV bull, CSW was always low hanging fruit, a tool used by people way above him.
SoV vs MoE - Debunked: The very first line in the whitepaper states that bitcoin was to be peer to peer electronic cash. The digital gold narrative came about well after that.
Context is important here.
I agree with everything you say. But not your conclusions. And you didn't debunk anything.
Fair enough. You're free to have a different opinion from my own.
GMONEY is the real deal. If you want a primer or additional reading, here are some of his profound deep digs on Q, Pepe, and BTC. Its all connected.
You have probably heard of a 'Rare Pepe'. Its not just a cool Pepe meme. It refers to Pepe NFT's that were embedded into BTC. You can view them here.
This irrefutably ties particular Pepe images to specific dates and times. Why is this important? Because anonymous people were dropping some serious hints of things to come. Most notably, IMO, is this Rare Pepe. It is a Trump Pepe card that pays homage to Q. ...oh, and it was created on 08/31/17, a full 58 days before the first Q drop. Think about that for a minute.
This just scratches the surface, now go down the rabbit hole:
u/#lightning
They also issued 1717 Games of Trump cards. …2 months before Q ever posted.
Proof or link? Can't find your source. Cool if true, but I can't confirm.
Bump, take the time and research ☝️
Are you implying Q created BTC?
Not that Q created BTC, but rather that the same group of people responsible for Q also created BTC. It is a plausible theory, seeing as Q set off a movement to democratize information in the same way BTC is democratizing money.
My intuition tells me BTC and Q are linked. Don't know if we'll ever know for sure though.
Satoshi NakamoCIA
Bitcoin is everything the CIA+ would not want in a digital currency
Does an anon need to have an solid understanding of bitcoin for this to make sense? Because I don't. My very basic understanding of bitcoin leads me to believe it's digital fiat.
It's not. It's capped at 20 million coins I believe. The exact opposite of fiat....it is subject to fuckery though, seems like it can be manipulated just like stocks somewhat
Everything is open sourced, and peer reviewed. Ask the right questions and people will help point you in the right direction
21 million. It's proof of work backed by energy or a digital store of wealth.
Because there are so many small holders and approximately only 19 million out there right now it would be prohibitively expensive to hack the system. It's not like the stock market where you can over issue.
The market can be manipulated because big players have accumulated alot & game the system on exchanges. Every purchase/sell/movement is tracked on the blockchain so its more transparent to detect fuckery
Exactly. It is backed by nothing and is used for child trafficking.
How could you conclude that bitcoin is digital fiat? Either you don't understand fiat or you have read nothing about bitcoin.
LMAO. BTC won't be around after the reset.
Was hesitant to watch this. Lots of cringe... I want my hour back from watching at 2x speed.
Odd how these clowns talk down on precious metals and straight-up worship crypto...
If you don't physically hold it, you don't own it
Ok, I can see how a technology can change things. Since 2011 we have progressed 13 years in this technology, and bitcoin has been superseded left and right.
Initially,m it was mean to be a payment system OUTSIDE the FED without the means to identify the participants. Today we know better.
The most amazing one: Monero.
And before one would try to counteract that., think about what Monero represents, and how it lives up to its ideal. Despite being shoved in the ditch by Binance, it took a short lived hit of 60% and within a week regained its position. Any so called privacy coin being pushed on central exchanges does not pass the sniff test.
That said, these 7 issues is not only an issue with Bitcoin, but many coins. Nevertheless, it is a god idea to have payment system outside of the FED system.
Then there is the ongoing digitization. The question of desirability is a question of how you look at it. Personally, I shudder at the idea that government in any way shape or form would gain control of such a technology.
So, yes, in a way it is a counter insurgency AS A COIN, medium of exchange.
In relation to the video: I agree with Kwast. The items we need to be successful. Basically, any means at our disposal and what we can think of should be deployed in the service of freedom.
Fun part: this is the message of the Oera Linda book. It is an issue as old as man, especially for those who comprehend what freedom is.
Indeed. DE - FINIT - ion. => moving away from the finite. de = negation. Anything goes, the lines between what is A or B blurres. You could talk out of your ass and still be right. That is definition for you. However, we mean and intent the opposite. We want to finite things so we can see what is A and what is B. This helps the mind in solving puzzles.
So, what is it that is being put into motion when using this word? speech is energy, speech can captivate a mind. Speech = spell.
BS on BTC.
Marking for view later
I am still watching this, but I think if you only have a short amount of time to decide whether or not you can invest two hours to watch this video, start at about minute 59 and watch for about five to ten minutes, where he is talking about resources and strategy. I think the whole video is extremely important to all Frogs to watch. General Kwast (Ret.) is a great speaker who has an amazing framework on how to survive this war and survive/thrive as we enter this new network/technology era. This is not just a video on bitcoin and the importance of the technology behind bitcoin, but on innovation and the cultural change and integration of new technology into humanity's daily lives in the near future. He had a very interesting discussion with the hosts about filing taxes. Like I said, I'm still watching the video, but I just needed to hop on the comments to say that this video is great, and you should definitely invest in your future and watch it.
FYI, the General's talk was the first hour to about 1:20. The rest seems to be comments and their regular show? I think you should all watch the interview with the general, for sure. The commentary afterwards is also interesting and you may find some value in that too; they go over some financial news too in the second hour, seems like. I'm still watching to find out what they say.
This needs to be stickied until every anon on GAW has watched it 5 times over. The bitcoin angle to all of this is so important and way too many anons are still sleeping on it. And General Kwast gives an epic breakdown of how it figures into the broader 5G war that is being fought around the world.
Also, as GMoney and PiP point out later in the episode, Trump has been warming up to bitcoin in the narrative, and fast. This is something anons need to keep a close eye on imo.
So 50 million a coin soon?
Black pill right here☝️. Please enlighten the group how this can be accomplished. “Change the code how?”
If you understand the process and the technology, you would self orange pill yourself.
Kwast talked about this during the interview.
You don't even have to understand the process really, just understand that humans can manipulate the digital world
Only idiots would believe such a thing.
What’s your estimation.
Some say 200,000$ Michal Saylor says 3 million in 10 years.
It's going to ZERO. All coins will go to zero and only less than a dozen will rise from the ashes and shoot past the moon. BTC is used for child trafficking, adrenochrome and laundering. The DS used it so they would be tracked, so they thought. BTC= Bite the Cheese...a trap to catch the rats. When the 3 Gorges Dam fails, so does BTC.
Are you a fag shill?
