 Now, I don't know if you guys have been paying attention now, but lately there's been an attack on freedom of speech online. You have platforms like YouTube, you have platforms like Patreon, you have platforms like Twitter, you have platforms like Facebook who are and also platforms like MasterCard and the payment channels who are colluding together to silence people's opinions that they don't agree with. Now, I don't know about you, but in my mind, freedom of speech is an absolute right. It's a concrete right that every single human being on this planet must have, but one of the primary reasons why we have the ability to do what we do is because the fundamental rights that we can speak our mind. Now, for society to evolve together as a society to to challenge ideas, to communicate properly, to negotiate properly, to think outside the box we need to have the fundamental rule of law, which is freedom of speech is absolute. Now, I know some of you might be thinking, well, I don't, you know, I'm kind of happy they took off Person X from these platforms. Cool, that's your opinion, you know, all the power to you. That's your expression of speech that you agree that this person is saying bad things in your mind, but don't forget, don't forget this. Today, they can be approving your thoughts. Tomorrow, your thoughts may not be approved, right? Who's to say that tomorrow what you're saying is now against their agenda? The agenda has always changed. At the end of the day, what we're seeing, we are seeing the end results of puppet masters puppeteering us, the pawns, right? Using certain individuals as pawns. Listen, either we have total freedom of speech or we don't. And we can just use today as example in the world where we see what happens when there's no freedom of speech. It's an unjust society. So I think it's a little bit scary what's happening today with the whole acceptance of a lot of people agreeing that we should silence people. This is crazy. Imagine all of a sudden the government changes a policy that overnight goes against your religious ideologies, for example. Or it goes against your political viewpoints or they discriminate against you somehow. Whatever. Imagine that happens overnight. Imagine. Now imagine you don't have the legal right to voice your opinion. And this is what's happening today. And so I think there has to be more education brought to light about freedom of speech. I think more people need to speak up and big round of a fucking applause to Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Dave Rubin and others with Patreon who said enough is enough. You're not going to control my thoughts. You're going to tell me what I can and how I can say it. I'm going to find alternative ways and one of the alternative ways is they're going to be starting to accept crypto, which is fucking awesome. Which brings me to my second point. I think we as a society obviously can't control the government that much. We have seen in history there's never been a government that's been 100% peaceful towards its citizens. There's always been some form of discrimination or oppression, some form of negative attributes governments have imposed through sheer force violence towards their citizens. That being said, obviously we can't change the mind of this government collective. All we can do is vote for the best and improve systems. However, what we can do right now, what we do have right now is a means of communication, means of exchange, means of dialogue to counteract certain future, let's say future regulatory changes they make. So privacy and data is really important. I think platforms like Patreon and like YouTube here and like Facebook will be going head to head with private decentralized platforms in the next 10 years. I think it's going to be a massive war between who is going to get most of the users in the future. And for me, I'm leaning towards new platforms coming out. And obviously it's an uphill battle. You're going against gigantic behemoths, David versus Goliath. But these are simple tips that anyone can do. For example, tip number one, use a VPN. So what a VPN does is a virtual private network. It masks your IP and what your IP is is pretty much your digital representation of who you are online. It shows you geographically where you are. It shows you which internet provider you're coming from and shows which device you're coming from pretty much is your thumbprint. It represents who you are aligned. So what a VPN does virtual private network, it masks that. And there's a bunch of different ones out there, VPN Express, VPN Nord VPN, there's a bunch. I don't go Google it. But VPN would be one, both mobile and desktop for VPNs. Number two, messaging apps. I'm a firm believer in using encrypted messaging apps. So my personal favorite that personal favorite that I like to use is signal. So I use signal on daily basis or key base but key base is not the best UI UX but signals really good on mobile. I do majority 99% of my communication on signal. Don't touch text messaging text messaging is a joke absolute joke. So that's number two signal or encrypted messaging app. Number three is a browser online. Most people use Chrome or Firefox or Safari. You can use different ones, different browsers. For example, you have Opera, which is cool. You have a built-in VPN in Opera and you have the option of going on the Tor network, you know, onion and Tor if you want that option. Or you can use Brave browser, which has a bunch of built-in ad blockers. But for me, I use Opera. That's number three, different browser for your own protection. Number four is buy Bitcoin. I'm not a fan of fiat currencies. If you look at historic or if you look at history, the average life, the life length of a fiat currency is 27 years. Right. And so lately with quantitative easing since 2008 when inflation rates, I don't have any fate in the dollar. I don't have any fate in the euro. I think it's all going to collapse in lifetime. Buy Bitcoin, use it as store value. Bitcoin is the biggest and strongest network on the planet. It's the most decentralized network on the planet. And it's the best store of value, digital store of value in regards to physical, for example, like gold. So we have now number one VPN, number two signal, so encryption app, number three browser and number four Bitcoin. Number five is to a fake. So most people when it comes to security online is they'll use, for example, text messaging, like send a code or email. I'd recommend they use something called a two of a UB key. And so this takes one step above and beyond for your security and protection online. So traditionally, whether it's a text message for two of a, which I don't recommend, or a little bit better, you have a text on a text, but app message, like Google auth or Authy. So for example, if you log into your Facebook, it's going to say, Hey, we just sent a code to Authy, you got 45 seconds because every 45 seconds is a new code. What the UB key does is a digital, little small USB key. Instead of you going to your app, it's a physical USB key. So then you have to plug it in. Right. So even if, for example, hackers or individuals are able to go to your Facebook, you have this one extra step. So these are like simple steps that give citizens back more mobility, give citizens back more privacy and empowerment to conduct themselves when it comes to freedom of speech because money is a form of freedom of speech. That's why I mentioned Bitcoin. So these are some ideas I just wanted to riff with you. You know, I would like to know your thoughts about it. I think this is all part of process. There's a Buddha saying it is as it should be. And so maybe we have to go through this period of time of like, Hey, you know, what is freedom of speech? Why are we doing this? But maybe this is really good at the end of the day, we realize that decentralized platforms like YouTube, like Twitter, like Facebook, like Patreon are not the solutions for the future. They serve their purpose for the last decade or so. Now we need new solutions, more decentralized, open, robust solutions where anybody anywhere, regardless of who you are, participate in the network. Okay, guys, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this. Leave a comment below this video and I'll talk to you soon. Peace.
