So be prepared to be inspired. Alan, we are beyond thrilled to have you join us today on the show. Welcome to Beyond the Break. Welcome, Alan. We're so happy to have you here. Well, we're so excited that you're here. And I have to say, you know, knowing what I know about you, like, obviously, I've met you once, but it was very brief. And then going through all, you know, watching all your videos, I mean, you are a well-rounded person. You are just a wealth of information. And so it's like, wow, what am I going to talk to Alan about? Like, you know, there's so many things at so many different directions. And the reason when I, you know, with us creating Vida Broadcast Network, I think I kind of told you a little bit about, you know, us wanting to have, like, a collection of information and shows that are kind of supporting, you know, the spreading of knowledge, self-sovereignty, food intelligence. We want this to be about for the people, by the people, for the people, sharing of information. And I mean, you obviously, you fit well into that and you have a lot of information. We also, you know, we are Bitcoin, I like XRP, you know, and we really, if you watch any of our shows, we've done, you know, the topics on the Operation Showpoint and others, you know, the BlackRock and all of that, and kind of diving into that. And so that one video that I sent that you had done, I'm like, that kind of, that touches, it kind of, it goes with some of the material that we've covered, you know, but then, of course, you being you and your partner and staff and, you know, and living off-grid, semi, mostly, you know, that's where, you know, so we thought we would, we kind of touch on that stuff first and then get into the crypto in the latter, in the latter half. Well, first of all, thank you so much for the compliments, and it's been a real effort. My wife and I, you can't do this alone, you know. We all kind of go down those, I don't even like the term conspiracy theory. It's more life experience to me, as that's what I call it. And you can't do that with that partner that doesn't have the same page. You know, if you're not on the same page, it's like, well, you know, one turns into a prepper and goes all paranoid and digs a hole in the basement and fills it full of food, and the other one's like, you're ridiculous. So it's been a family gathering, really, for the three of us. My son is, he's a little less conspiratorial than we are, maybe, but he's still young, but he's listened to all my stories for his whole life, and now they're like, he'll call me up and go, Dad, they're all, like, coming true. That's the thing. How old is your son? He's 38. Okay. I believe. My daughter is 38 as well. And it's kind of the same thing, is that because she's a new mom, she's starting to have a different view of the world than what she had prior to that. Sure. And I'm not going to say conservative, but more aware, because she's now got a little one to look after. Yes. And I'm just going, oh, welcome home, hon. Welcome home. We've missed you. Yes, we have. She'll be back. Yes. It's very, it's really neat, because in so many ways, we're all coming back to our roots and who we are as people. And a nation, I hope. Me too. But for me, it's, you can stray for a long time and really get wild and crazy and woke or whatever they are these days. But eventually, you do come back to, hey, you know what? I just want security, good food, water, shelter, friends, and family. And I think we all really want all those same things. So it's pretty, everybody kind of does that wild 20s or whatever they do, and they all kind of come back. Yeah. Yeah, most certainly did. I'm really just happy to see so many young people kind of getting back to the roots. And actually, you know, there is that push where they're, you know, they're calling so-and-so boomers and, you know, the millennials. And I just always think that that is the push to divide. They use those words, they put those labels on it to intentionally keep us separated from one another. But I've really noticed that, you know, there's a lot of folks, a lot of younger people, they're getting in there. And that's one thing I can say about the crypto space is that you have older and younger folks, and they're all learning and working together. And I just absolutely love that about this space. Yeah, me too. And then when you start learning about money, it does take you down that rabbit hole. And then you're like, well, wait a minute, they've been messing with our food, and they're messing with our water, and they're doing it. And so the next thing you know, you've got chickens in your backyard, you know. Yeah, you do. And that's the truth. And they multiply quickly. Yes, indeed. It's fun. You know, everything you just said, we're all experiencing it. And it's funny how my parents went through the same thing. And they were kind of crazy and partiers when they were younger and whatnot. And then as they got older, they became so conservative. And I thought, you know, I don't even really know who my mom is anymore, you know. And now it all kind of makes sense. But yeah, it's fun. It's all good. Yeah, there was a lot of word from them. Whatever you're into. Exactly. Yeah. We're really having a hard time politically right now. Because I'm not a political person at all, and never have been the last time. I don't even like to talk about that, because people get offended either way, whether you do or you don't. So anyway, it's been so in our face the last, I don't know, two or three campaigns, if you will. Presidential elections. And I just really, it's been so nice not having to hear much about it lately. And now the drum is beating again. And it seems louder than ever before. So it's going to be interesting to go through it all. But I really like my little ranch up in the mountains and just do my thing. And it reminds me of why you work so hard your whole life long. And you do the things the best you can. And you produce a life for yourself to where you have options. And you're not, I can't imagine being some young couple really struggling to try and make ends meet. And they're, you know, in downtown Los Angeles or wherever. I can't even imagine how they go through that right now. But we all did in different times. So for all of us, it's a different life experience. But it seems like crazier times than ever. That's such a good point. Because when you're referring to your folks, you know, any person from a previous generation is looking at current times and going, oh, I don't know. I'm so out of hand here. I just, it's not the way it used to be. And here, we're looking, this is normal. This is the thing, though. I think the Gold Coast. I think the envelopes had pushed a little farther. They have, yeah. That Gold Coast keeps getting moved too much into where we're into that crazy zone right now. So it's time to dial it back. One of the things I find interesting about myself, if I can, is I really, I'm not the old guy get-off-my-lawn guy. I've never been that guy. That's not, I've worked with young people my whole life. And the most entertaining people, I think, personally, are young people. And truly, the younger the better. And we could get into that religiously or philosophically or however you'd like to. But for me, my experience with them is that they're less, they're carrying less luggage. They have less rules. They're less manipulated. They seem a little more open to learning. And they seem a lot better about seeing more recently from maybe the other side of the veil, if you will. But they're also very open and everything's new to them. And they really want to explore and get it out of the way. And then when they do get older, they have a better balance of life to reflect upon. And I really, I'm not the guy at all who thinks, oh, my generation's the best generation. I really believe that my generation is holding so much of the world back right now. Completely agree. Yeah. We really need to do a better job of getting out of the way. I mean, these politicians can't even stand up, by the way. I know. That's got to tell you that they're a little outdated, doesn't it? Yes, indeed. And maybe they've got, they have so much on the line, that's why they can't leave. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Too much to protect. Alan. Yeah. I know that you were a yacht captain. We have a great friend who was a yacht captain as well. And I was wondering if this is kind of where you started off in your career. Because it seems you two have some similar stories in terms of being around high-level people. Because they, people, wealthy people go out on yachts. They want to be away from others. But they want to be among friends and feel safe with each other to speak. And when you were commanding a ship, you are there, you hear things, but you're not necessarily part of their conversation, even though you are in some sort of a way. And I'd like to learn more a little bit, learn a little bit about how you became a yacht captain and how you went down this trail that you've, this remarkable path that you've taken. Yeah. It's incredible. First of all, I need to clarify something you just said. Okay. Because every boat is different and every boss has been different. In a manner in which I personally am family members. I'm still the yacht captain. I'm their family almost to me. I've been with them over a decade. Wow. And I've been blessed in the sense that, you know, if you're a pretty sharp guy and you can keep up the conversation and you can keep a secret, they'll tell you anything. Because you live and work on this vessel. And I know 100 or 200 feet foot long seems like a big boat, but it's not. And the other thing that you realize is that they don't really want to talk to their friends and family that much. Their wife doesn't want to hear their stories anymore, if you know what I'm saying. So they want to tell the story to somebody new with a scotch and a cigar. Next thing you know, you become very, very close to these people. So in some sense, if you're a charter captain, which is they fly in for a week or two weeks and they fly away, that's a different program than somebody that I know yacht captains that are in the will of families. So you can be, like everything in life, you can be any level of all of those things. Well, you're kind of a, if you think about it, you're kind of like a safe person in a way. Because you're in their life consistently, but maybe not necessarily so close that, I don't know, I could see where you would be, you'd be in it, but you're not, you know, it's like an arm's length type thing. And so getting someone's perspective that is not living your day to day life and having that safe person to talk to, I could see that as being incredibly valuable. I mean, just to your average, I mean, even me, I'm not rich or anything like that. But if I had somebody to bounce some ideas off of and listen to some of my stories and whatever and get their feedback, I would appreciate that extremely, you know. It's so difficult for most people to understand who these people are because I think, Melissa, you and I talked about this already, but most people who don't have a lot of money, which is all of us, they don't really understand that the wealthy really are just people. They have all the same problems that you do except for one, and that's money. And the problems in which they have are 10 times larger than your problems. I know you think paying your electric bill is a big problem, and it is. If you don't have any money, that's a big problem. But these people are putting out fires all day long, and their life is complicated, and it's a mess, and their kids are a mess sometimes most of the time, and their family members are always trying to borrow money. Yeah, it's just, you know, they have a lot of problems. They have to live on 10 all the time. All the time. I mean, I worked at a country club, and the folks that have, and I saw, I know what you're talking about, and it is kind of sad, too. I mean, they'd be sitting in my office talking to me, and I'm like, why are you talking to me, you know? Yeah. I mean, they'd bring me a coffee and just talk to me because I was silly and whatever, and I'm like, why is this rich person talking to me, you know? That's why. But, I mean, it's amazing. I've just been fortunate, I guess, you know. I've worked for some of the most incredible people, just giant hearts. Now, don't get me wrong. I've worked for a couple of bosses that, you know, within a couple of months, it was just, I didn't look at them. This just isn't working out. I'm leaving. I was at a job interview one time for a job that I was put forward to that was pretty cool. This is a very famous guy that, like, everybody would know who he is, and he and I were having a, he was interviewing me for a job on the back of his boat, and I was 20 minutes into this conversation, and I was just looking at him like, yeah, we're done here. And he's like, no, no, I don't understand. What do you mean? No, no, we're just getting somewhere. I said, we've been talking for 20 minutes, and we haven't agreed on one thing, not one single thing. I said, you know, this is going to be way too close for us to be this far apart this early, you know, and I've got to go. He was so insulted. Get on, walk out on me, and he called the person, the broker, to put me forward for the job and tried to get me blackballed, out of the business and everything, and that just told me I had to make the right decision, obviously. It certainly did. Yeah. Just the way you were describing that person, it's like, gosh, you know. It was, yeah. Can you imagine being on the ship with them? No. Spending, gosh, it would be very demanding. It would probably be something. It was really, I don't know how much of a family show we have here, but it was mostly. Family, family, everyone. Yeah, very sexually explicit stuff, you know what I mean? Like, what do you want us to do on the boat type stuff, you know? Right out of the bat, and I was like, no, we're not, that's not what I'm, that's not what I'm all about. You know, you've got the wrong guy. So, yeah. I'm sorry, Melissa. I just heard that. I have to say something, because that has been a very hot topic, is that type of behavior and how it's crossing over into absolutely taboo areas, and has been. I'm not going to say it's just doing it. The taboo areas, like our children. Yes. Other people's children. Too bad. And that is not okay. Right. And there's a lot, I never saw any of it, thankfully. But, you know, again. That's a hot button right there. Yeah, it really is. I knew people that did other, once you're in the industry, you know all the other captains, you know all the other crew. And, you know, there was people that, well, they have black hoods in their closet, let's just put it that way. You know, that's not uncommon for some of these people. So, and they have their little ceremonies and stuff, and it's a place that they think they can get away from everybody and nobody will know about it type stuff. So, it happens a lot on boats, that kind of stuff. They do the ceremony type things on boats? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You don't want to believe this stuff is true, but man. Well, coming out, we're hearing so much about it now, the lifestyles of the other people out there that, like you're talking about. I haven't experienced it, but I know people have, even in pretty low-level banking, you know, trying to get to the next level of banking humanity. So, it's not just, you know, the top, by the way. So, you're saying like the lower-level guys that might, like guys or gals or whatever, that are trying to get to a higher position, then they're invited on a boat or whatever and they're like, holy smokes, I didn't sign up for this. Well, not even on a boat. I was, I can't remember who I was talking with about this, but he was telling me about, he went to like a banking convention, and it was before the guy got on the podium, they all did this like ceremony thing in the back room, like behind the curtain, and he said it was creepy, flat-out creepy. He didn't really, he wasn't, he didn't know much about what was going on, and he was explaining the story very innocently enough to me, and I was like, yeah, I know what was going on there, you haven't figured that out? And he's like, well, it's kind of weird, you know? And it was bankers from all over had gone to this meeting, so, you know, that wasn't on a boat. Why are we hearing so much about the uber-wealthy, the wealthy, the uber-wealthy, and that's a just whole different world of behavior, and there's no boundaries, and total disregard for human beings. Yeah, in some cases. Yes, in some cases, but it doesn't have to be a big group of people, just enough of them to know that that's kind of, it's evil. No, that's right, yeah. They're right among us. Yeah, but I will say that, you know, I've probably worked for, I don't know, I swear I was going to count them out one day, 15, 20 different families, something like that, in 30 years. So, and I want to say that maybe other than a couple, two, three, that I would say that they had no interest in any of those kind of things, and I would have known if they did. Well, because you interviewed them, right? Just as they were interviewing you, and you said no dice. Yeah. Right? So that's probably why. In the beginning, it's sort of like, maybe this isn't a great analogy, but, you know, you want to become a famous actor, right? So you'll take all those really bad roles in the beginning. Well, that's kind of what yachting's like. It's a really tough job to get into. So when you start out, you know, you kind of take anything, because you're at a bottom level, you're not the captain, you're not making decisions. So you end up working for crazier people in the beginning, not like I did anyway. And then I developed a reputation of being a sought-after captain because of many different reasons, but, you know, not just that, but more because my background was so clean. They really look for that. The good families look for that, you know? They want clean people because in the world we live in today, you can imagine, like, say, Elon Musk had a yacht, okay? He doesn't, I don't think, but if he did, right, you don't want your crew, if he gets drunk one night with a bunch of friends and says some crazy stuff, it could be all over the social media the following day, okay? It would be all over the, okay? So many of these boats today, like, you can't, there's, like, rooms where phones you can't, they won't work, right? And you have to leave your phones at the door and those kind of things. So it's a different world, and it's getting crazier in that sense, but they're also protecting themselves a lot different than they used to. So in a lot of ways, I think, if we could kind of conclude that thought, I think they're really making grave mistakes today more than they've ever made before, and I think they're being exposed, and I think it's really gotten sloppy. They used to be so secret and do a lot of crazy things, and now it just seems to me, maybe because of social media and other reasons, that they've just, they're being exposed, if you will, for the real frauds of, you know, the running of the world and the governments that they are, because they don't care about us anymore, and one of my favorite sayings is, when's the last time they made a decision for you and I? They just don't anymore. Even the people that believe in their campaign lies, they don't even do anything for them anymore. It's weird. I've never lived in a time like this. Well, I think these people, it's kind of like the 90-10 rule. You know, there's 10%, a smaller percentage than the rest of us, but they have enormous impact, and then you have, on another note here, is that these people are so comfortable with what they're doing, maybe because of how our culture is changing and because of social media and the things that are shared out in the social media world, that they feel comfortable exposing themselves, and we've gotten to a point to where the 90% of us are sitting back and going, whoa, no, this is not okay, and this is the time that maybe we can dial things back, because this is not the first time in history this has been going on from the beginning of time, this type of stuff. They also have, this isn't even conspiracy anymore, they also control the governments, the money, the three-letter agencies, and the media. So when you have control of that circle, and then you have people that actually watch TV and believe what's on there, you know, it's sad. You can't convince somebody who watches the evening news that that's all just a lie. It's very difficult. And they know that, and they control all four parts of that. Well, and it's got the corner on the education system, too. So you start them out young, you break up the families, people are not home because they're both having to work now, and you've got someone else raising your child in the formative years, and boom, how easy is that? But that's why I'm happy to see people fighting back, you know, and we've desensitized the public so much where, you know, all the imagery and the music and the things that they're doing, and I know we said this back in the 70s, you know, but I mean, really, you see these things and we watch them in movies, and then, you know, to come and have a story and say, you know, there's some crazy stuff going on on the yacht, and people are like, oh, okay, did you watch this movie? Because, you know, that's pretend. So, you know, if that's how they get away with it, you know. They do, yeah. And I think also I wanted your opinion on, you know, as far as the bankers go, and when you have that kind of money and power, what else can you get? So you start getting into these other crazy weird stuff for control or for a thrill or for whatever. I mean, do you think that could be – I mean, what else do they need? They don't need anything else if they have everything already. Yeah, there's – I wouldn't say this is life experience. This is just kind of figuring things out. I shouldn't say life experience. It is life experience, but it's not learned from being a yacht captain. A lot of what they do is they move money around to control environments and situations, and when they're able to do that to the degree which they are, you can get away with almost anything you need to do, right? But if you look, that's like this level, right? That's like the politician level. The next two or three levels up from that, by the way, there are. Oh, yeah. And those levels are – they control people through money, and they control people, more importantly, through means of blackmail, many different ways of controlling people. But they control it because if they didn't, you and I would overpower them and take them, and they know that. And the ridiculousness of this entire scheme in which we all think is reality and life is just ridiculous. And as long as you keep everybody in that – Mr. Mitchell. Yeah. As soon as we all realize that money is worthless, the gig is up, and they'll have to come up with a new angle and a new scheme. But when you control from the top, you're able to make wars. You're able to make, you know, the military industrial complex has run this country for so long that it's comical when people tell me, oh, yeah, well, I'm going to vote for this politician or that one, you know, I'm old enough to remember what Eisenhower had to say, and he wasn't kidding, and the man was, you know, a general, right? I mean, was he a general? I believe he was a general, yeah. And so all of the people that have told us that this is all going on, for some reason they don't ever get interviewed again, and they're not on the evening news. I wonder why that is. The control has never changed. It's not any worse or any better than it ever used to be. My point that I'd like to say is that I have strong evidence in my lifetime that there's a war at the top where they used to be lockstep, and otherwise there would be no way they would be doing the things they're doing today and exposing themselves the way they are. You just would have never had three-letter agencies, you know, going into presidential houses or post-presidents or whoever and coming up and throwing that in people's faces if that wasn't some form of retaliation. That never happened before, and that leads to exposure, us creating knowledge, and it being much easier for you and I to tell the people who are watching the evening news, does that seem real to you? And so that has changed. You mentioned, like, so we've all heard, I don't know if you followed, like, the Whitney webs, you know, of the world that have done some extensive research in these types of areas, and not just her, a lot of others. And they mention, like, families like the Rothschild family and, you know, the Rockefellers and, you know, all these high-level families that have been around for a really long time. And, I mean, even they touch on it when you watch, like, say, the Men Who Built America or the History Channel will have links on how those families, even back then, they were battling each other. And so do you think, then, that these families, all the things that we're seeing, they're battling each other and causing these weird things to happen or all these peculiar things that are going on right now? Like you say, you're like, this can't be real. Do you think it is real and that they're forcing each other to do these things or what? To some level, not quite at the top, I would imagine, but, yeah, it's pretty close to the top. And the only reason why I say that is because it hasn't hit the top yet. And you'll know it hits the top when we all just stare and look at each other and go, wait a minute. Who do we owe $34 trillion to? Who are those people? Why don't we just tell them we're not going to pay them? We're not doing that. Next subject. We've got all the guns. We've got all the people. We have the military. Who are these 13 families and why have they never been audited? You know, like, when we go there, you'll know that the top is completely disassembling itself. But lower than that, I would say the next level down from that would be these people who are trying to become in those families or influence those families for their own self-preservation for whatever that might be or power in the world. Those people are the dangerous ones because they're still climbing that power ladder. And some of the people that I've worked for are on that ladder. And they're, like I say, not friendly people, not good people at heart. And they... Anyway, they're very, how do I say, connected, directly connected to the presidential level and that around the world for sure. But I want to say something about Whitney Webb. Is her name right? Yeah. I've heard her recently say a few things that I'm totally 100% opposed. I'm like, no, that's... And none of us can get all of it right. But she had a few things just that were, like, that isn't even remotely accurate. And I don't know. You can tell when she's really on to something. It's because she has a lot of facts. And she has, like, okay, here's what this family's connected to. This and that. But sometimes, in particular lately, she's thrown a lot of things out there. She'll just one-line it and just say, oh, well, they're doing this to these kids or those people. And it's a hot button. And if she doesn't back it up well, I'm like... Does that have to do with Epstein, the latest on the Epstein Virgin Islands story? No. No, that whole thing, unfortunately, is very accurate that I know of. No, she came out recently with some really... How do I put it? She threw Cardano directly under the bus. Okay, yeah. And her position on crypto, I don't entirely agree with her on either. And she said that Cardano is tracking children in Africa for nefarious reasons. And I thought, okay, well... I researched that. I looked into that because that raised my eyebrows also. And I did, too. And I have for a long time. And I've been following this for a long time. And it's more about their school records that have never been accurate. And then they try to come to the U.S. and there's no documentation of anything they've ever learned. So, yeah, she's right. They are tracking these kids. And, yes, could it be used for bad? It probably could be. A lot of this stuff could be used for bad. Chris, you and I talked about that in a previous show where we say, you know, all this technology, it could be a benefit to humanity in a lot of ways. And we have to be careful with it. And not everything that's going on is bad. Yeah. Everything. This whole Cardano thing, though, that's why they chose to focus on Africa. Because so many of these people are undocumented in terms of their education. So they come over to the States, you know, an industrialized country, and they're highly trained in their country. But they come here, for instance, and they're starting all over again. I know somebody from Ethiopia. Same way. Highly trained person. That's right. And the best that he was able to do coming over here is to do phlebotomy. Extremely trained. And he's been doing phlebotomy now for about 27 years because he brought his family. He fleed Ethiopia. And he's working in the health care industry. Lovely, lovely man and family. I happen to have the pleasure of being – they were my clients many years ago. I learned a lot about them. The things that they escaped from and what they sacrificed to come here. And he couldn't afford to go back to school. And he wasn't going to go back to school. Not in our system. He'd already been trained. Yeah. Yeah. He's forgotten more about Cambodia than most. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. Well, there's no records there. Yeah. No, that's right. And they get held down. And they're not allowed to flourish in our economy. And that's, you know, intentional or not, that's what's happening. Right. Unfortunately, yeah. Many people from around the world. Right. She's really spot on with so many things. And, you know, I know she works really hard in her research. So I'm not trying to throw her under the bus whatsoever. She's doing brilliant stuff. But, you know, there's a couple of other things, too, that I was like, yeah, she's not right about that family either. But that's inside stuff that I kind of know about. But I'm not saying that I've done the research that she has at all, because I am not that guy. That is not my – you can tell it's her passion. And I thank God we have people like her that do care to the level that she does. And the place – this world's a better place because of people like her in it, for sure. Well, and I think that it's really good, though, to also do your own research when you hear something. We don't want to fall into a situation where we're going so far the opposite direction, right? So now we know we don't trust the mainstream media anymore because they've lied so much. And we have to be careful not to latch on to somebody else that, you know, the purpose is to sway your opinion one way or another. Could be anyway. And so I think we have to always take information with a grain of salt until we find more information to back that up. But she definitely is someone that gives us all an incredible head start to go and look for things for ourselves and teach ourselves how to be a little bit better about asking questions. I mean, like you, working amongst these folks, you've seen things. And so, you know, you're just one man that has seen some things and, you know, who are you? And he's like, oh, what does Alan know? Well, Alan knows a lot because he's been there. So he knows if somebody is saying something might not be completely accurate. Yeah, I've had a unique career. I haven't just worked for the family that invented toasters, you know. I've worked for families that were really politically connected. And I've worked for families that were three-letter agent-connected, agencies-connected. And it's really been unique. And I also had the kind of mind that cared to know about it and was smart enough to be a good listener and not jump in with my two cents, even though I completely opposed what they were saying at the moment, so that I could hear more. And then that paid off in a job that I took. Just after that job, I took a job, and it paid off because I was talking to a crew member, and this man approached me with something that truly changed my life. It changed my knowledge of how the whole thing works and who's involved and why they're involved. And it's way too long to go on this show, but it paints two pictures. And I could really just go down this road a little bit. There are people that care about you and I and the well-being of this planet. There really are. And there are people who don't care a damn and would like to see this thing go down to 500 million people, as you all know. Those two groups don't agree. They don't agree at all. And those shenanigans, we'll call them, that they pull is a constant battle and a constant war that is happening around us at all times. Thank God there are people that think like normal, average people who do have power and money, and they do want a different world, and they don't want their kids to grow up in that kind of world. So in that sense, I had more hope after reading all the documents in which I read. Wow. You shared documents with you. Because all of us can go down this doomsday road. This is bad, and these people are bad, and our country's corrupt, and all countries are corrupt, and power only corrupts, and it's only evil. And it will tear you up. It will tear your life apart. And too many of us spend too much time focused upon what we don't want from our lives and for our children's lives. And that rubs off into who you are. And it was so refreshing to me because I was pretty down on the world after working for the other guy. I was like, this is bad. This is rigged. This is so evil. And then when I met the other man who had not only a network, I mean a massive global network of people that cared, that it changed who I am. And at one point I actually told my son, I said, there's so much I'm not going to tell you about what I read. I'm not going to ever tell you. Because there's people who don't feel that way. And there's people that are trying to do everything in their power to make sure that you don't live that life. Every time I hear people tell me, oh, we're all done for and they control every aspect of our lives, I always have to say this one thing. That is absolutely not the case. And the reason why I know that is because there's a billion of us on this planet, and that is not their plan. So if they had control over, I'm going to say, a greater power, which I know they don't, okay, we would all be done for already. That would have occurred. Makes sense. That's the math of that. I love that math. It's good math. And doing some research on you, that was one clear message is that you have a positive message that we have a brighter future ahead of us because there are more of us. There are people who do care. And if you don't mind, I'd like to kind of go back to a couple things that you said about the families. It seems to me my maiden name, let's put it this way, came from families of influence. You might say that they took care of neighborhoods and things like that. Let's just put it that way. Okay. So that's that family background. Were they German, English, Irish, or Italian? Sicilian. Sicilian. Okay. Okay. I got you. Yeah. All right. So the way I see this is what's happening is that you have these families colliding, and they're at a point right now where they have to have each other to work with, and they have an understanding. But then yet at some point in time, when mission accomplished, and they don't really need that other family so much anymore, they're going to start reaching for more power, maybe take over their areas. And they clamor for more and more power and make their way up to the top. And, of course, you have underlings that come up as well because they want to grow into family, and all of these dynamics going on. So that's just kind of the way it seems like to me is what's going on. And as you say, there might be about 15 families or so that has all of this power and influence, and that's kind of maybe what's going on. You have some people, some of these families that, like you say, want far less of us on this earth. And then you have the other group of families saying, no, no, we can have good times, and we don't need to fleece everybody. Oh, that's right. Yeah, so we can have prosperity. But if you don't mind, with all of your banking interactions, your experience, what brought you into the crypto space? And how does your banking relationships, the people that you know, feel about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in particular? And I want to say, and I want to emphasize on the Bitcoin part of it, because there's this Air Force Major, Major Jason Lowry. Yes. From the Space Force. Haven't quite figured him out. It seems like he's allowed to do an awful lot of talking. And I think that there's a reason for that. But I just kind of want to leave it there and get your insights and all of that. Well, I mean, how long a show do we have here? Holy smokes. You've just experienced part one of an incredible two-part series with the one and only Alan Staple from the Staple Crew. Wasn't that interview absolutely amazing? If you're eager for more captivating discussions and want to stay connected with Alan's insightful content, make sure to check out the Staple Crew on YouTube and your favorite podcast stations. Trust me, you won't want to miss a single episode. Now let's talk Bitcoin. Whether you're a seasoned crypto enthusiast or someone curious about this fascinating technology, we got you covered. In the next segment, we'll be giving you a sampler into the realm of Bitcoin, uncovering its secrets, potential, and why it's capturing the world's attention. Remember, if you're wondering what all the fuss is about and why Alan is such a huge fan of Bitcoin, he would say, read the white paper. In his view, it's the most impressive white paper he has ever read. So, dear listeners, sit back and enjoy a snippet in the realm of Bitcoin. It's time to unlock the mysteries, explore the possibilities, and discover the incredible potential that lies within this amazing technology. Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Satoshi Nakamoto is the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, the world's first digital currency. Nakamoto authored the Bitcoin white paper and created the original reference implementation for the currency, including the first blockchain database. Though Nakamoto's name is Japanese, the true identity of the individual or group behind the pseudonym remains unknown. Nakamoto began working on Bitcoin's code in 2007 and in 2008 registered the domain bitcoin.org and published a white paper on a digital cryptocurrency. On January 9, 2009, Nakamoto launched the Bitcoin network by defining the genesis block of Bitcoin, which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins. Nakamoto continued to collaborate with other developers until mid-2010 when he gave control of the source code repository to Gavin Andresen and stopped his involvement in the project. Nakamoto's true identity remains a topic of much debate. While Nakamoto claimed to be a 37-year-old man living in Japan, there is speculation that Nakamoto may actually be a team of people or an individual from outside of Japan. Some have pointed to the use of British English in the source code comments and forum postings as evidence that Nakamoto may have Commonwealth origins. Despite the mystery surrounding Nakamoto, it is known that he or she owns a significant number of Bitcoins, which at one point would have made them one of the wealthiest individuals in the world. The identity of Nakamoto may remain a mystery, but the legacy of Bitcoin lives on as a groundbreaking technology that has transformed the world of finance. What is the Bitcoin white paper? The Bitcoin white paper was written by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 and was published on October 31 of the same year and is believed to be the first ever white paper on the subject of cryptocurrency. The paper outlined the concept of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. The paper suggested a distributed ledger system for tracking the history of transactions using a network of computers in order to produce a decentralized currency system in which the verification and validation of transactions occurs without the need for a central authority. The white paper helped to create the framework for a new form of digital currency, one that was not controlled by a central bank or financial institution, but could instead be held, transferred, and traded on the Internet. The paper outlined Bitcoin's protocol for tracking and verifying transactions using a distributed ledger called the blockchain. It also provided a mechanism for releasing new Bitcoin into circulation called mining. The paper has come to be seen as a foundational document for the emerging field of cryptocurrency, and it has been credited with inspiring the development of hundreds of cryptocurrencies in decentralized applications. The Bitcoin white paper also sparked a wave of innovation as developers and entrepreneurs began to explore the implications of decentralized, distributed ledgers, and smart contracts, which have the potential to revolutionize the way we transact, record, and store data. This wave of innovation has helped to create a vibrant ecosystem called Web3, in which developers have built networks, exchanges, and applications that can facilitate the exchange of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Finally, the Bitcoin white paper serves as a reminder that technology can be used to empower individuals and create new economic opportunities. It serves to remind us that money is not just a tool for control, but can be used to create economic incentive structures, which reward creativity and innovation, enabling individuals to take control of their own financial freedom. It is ultimately a reminder that technological progress does not always have to be controlled by big institutions or governments, but can be harnessed by individuals to create a more equitable, decentralized economic landscape. Bitcoin is a digital currency that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is a decentralized currency that operates independently of any government or financial institution. Bitcoin is based on a technology called blockchain, which is a public ledger of all transactions made using the currency. Blockchain technology is what makes Bitcoin unique and secure. The history of Bitcoin dates back to 2008 when an anonymous person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper describing the currency. The paper outlined the need for a decentralized currency that could be used for online transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks or credit card companies. The paper proposed a new type of currency that would be based on cryptography and would be completely transparent and secure. Bitcoin was created as a response to the financial crisis of 2008. The crisis exposed the weaknesses of the financial system and highlighted the need for an alternative currency that could operate independently of the existing financial institutions. Bitcoin was designed to be a decentralized currency that could not be manipulated by any government or financial institution. It was created to provide a secure and transparent way of conducting online transactions without the need for intermediaries. Bitcoin is a digital currency that was created in 2009 by an unknown person using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. The origins of Bitcoin can be traced back to the problem of trust in digital transactions, the cypherpunk movement, and the idea of digital cash. One of the main problems with digital transactions is the issue of trust. In financial transactions, trust is established through intermediaries such as banks or credit card companies. These intermediaries act as trusted third parties that verify and process transactions. However, in digital transactions, there is no intermediary and trust must be established in a different way. The cypherpunk movement was a group of activists who advocated for the use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technology. The cypherpunks believed that the government and corporations had too much power over individuals and that cryptography could be used to protect individual privacy and freedom. One of the ideas that emerged from the cypherpunk movement was the concept of digital cash. Digital cash would allow individuals to make transactions without the need for intermediaries and without revealing their identity. This idea was popularized by a cypherpunk named Wei Dai who proposed the concept of V-money in 1998. In 2008, a person and a group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper titled Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. The paper described a decentralized...
