Transcript

If you're not based in America, you should be in uproar right now. Okay, this looks so angry... I [Music] really-welcome back, guys! Britcoiners episode 155. How are we all?

It's early. This is early, isn't it? Okay, let's get it in early because of the Trump news. Got a busy day ahead. This is going to-we had a bit of a heated discussion before the podcast, and I feel like it's going to be a spicy one. Dave's already fallen out with everybody beforehand.

"No, I've just decided to hate most humans, and everyone at that inauguration yesterday. I probably hated them all," Dave retorts.

"Okay, right," someone interjects, "let me get through the agenda, and then we'll get on it. Go through the-how old is he? 16? 18?"

"18."

"Picking on some 18-year-old kid, you know. Leave him alone. Grow up, Dave. He was credited with getting the youth vote by Donald Trump."

"Probably was. That is a load of rubbish!"

"Guys, can we get through the agenda, and then we'll get on to that?"

"He wasn't credited with that."

"No, Trump credited him with that. He stood up, took an applause for getting the youth vote. Now, he has never been anywhere near the common youth. It's absolute rubbish."

"He told Trump to go on all the podcasts. Listen to go on all..."

"Fact. So, he's been on all the podcasts the youth listen to?"

"Yeah, the... Can you just cut him off? Let me finish your agenda, but everyone should be-if you're not based in America, you should be in uproar right now. Okay, he looks so angry. I really-cut to Dave, please."

"They've pissed me off with the cake comments, and now I've got to sort that out. It's everyone's contract at work: if you take the day off, you bring in cake for your birthday. I'm going to go out and buy seven cakes. I've never done it."

"Good. You shove it up your ass."

"All right, Dave...Portnoy. Yeah, trying to steal it."

"Okay, right. Agenda: River forcefield, Coinbase Bitcoin-backed loans, and a whole lot of Trump-and a little bit of Rumble, but mainly Trump. Cracking, is that where you want to start?"

"No, not price. Not price. Live price is what-102? Last one, episode was 96, was it?"

"Apparently so, and then high since last episode-we've been up at 108, 109."

"109,000. More importantly, where's official Trump price? That's what everyone's bothered about. What is that now? That was on the agenda."

"Yeah, okay. Let's talk about Trump coin, then, shall we?"

"Yeah."

"Don't be a hypocrite, Dave."

"What do you mean, don't be a hypocrite?"

"Don't be a hypocrite. Did you buy Trump coin?"

"Yeah, and lost money on it."

"Who else in this room only to read the terms and conditions? Did you read the-did you read the terms and conditions of Trump coin?"

"You had to buy the coin to read the terms and conditions."

"I just bought it because I just wanted to. I could not believe an incoming president actually brought out a meme coin the day before the inauguration-officially, where he's given hardly any of the public any access to it. It's all just been distributed to his cronies and pumped the price. It got up to like 24 billion at one point. $54 or something like that, and it's just been rugged."

"$75."

"Yeah, it's got huge. It's down to $4. $39 now. When did you buy that, Dave?"

"I don't know. I bought it pretty early, if I'm honest. I'm still in it. Furious. Heavy bag."

"And on the terms and conditions, it says this isn't a coin for investment. It's not an investment, it's not security, it's not a store of value. It's a token of support for the Trump administration. That's how they define it."

"Is that all you have to do, then, to get around all the securities?"

"Yeah, I don't know. But they've put it front and centre of their terms, like first paragraph-that's in there. The problem now is they've opened it up like all the celebrities that have been sued. Even Kim Kardashian and all them ones that got sued and found guilty as well and had to pay money back-maybe they didn't have that in their terms."

"They are now. You know, what are they going to be saying? There is zero difference between Donald Trump and Haley Walsh-the Hawk Tuah girl. She's been hounded off all media because she's rugged some of her followers. He's rugged a nation."

"Yeah, yeah. And it's-and the worst part is, there's a lot of Bitcoiners celebrating it."
