The Aaron Day Show

Welcome back to the Aaron Day Show. This is a very special episode. This is season two episode. This one's called Victory Value and Voluntary Commerce. So this is very exciting. Tonight, we get to celebrate the fact that Roger Ver is officially free. He's settled his case with the federal government after what appears to have been five hundred and seven days since his initial arrest in Spain. And so if you are someone who frequently watches this program, you'll know that this has been big topic of conversation on this podcast and something I've spent a great deal of time working on and trying to raise awareness on this situation. So this is a big deal, huge news for anyone around the world who's interested in freedom and anyone who's interested in justice. So spread the word. Very, very glad to hear that. And so tonight we're going to, we're going to talk a little bit about that. It'll be interesting to see who shows up in the Q&A. I actually ran out of time to even send the link around for this episode. So if you could please like and share this, the numbers are pretty light right now. And frankly, they should be pretty high given how much attention and effort we've spent on these topics over the last eight months. So we greatly appreciate if you could like and share the link to this podcast. And so in addition to talking about Roger tonight, We're going to follow up on last week's episode, and I'll just go through that here. Well, before I do that, I encourage you to check out season two, episode thirty-six. We had Courtney Turner on again, and we spoke about the Dark Enlightenment and what's going on with Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land and all of those things. Again, critically important that people understand the actual threat that we have right now, which is not Republican versus Democrat. It's about technocracy and the fight for freedom. The episode before that is an important one and that actually ties to tonight's episode, which was entitled Freedom Dollar Defeats CBDCs. And so in that episode, I walked through what's going on with CBDCs and stablecoins, essentially issued stablecoins, and track stable coins and how Freedom Dollar built on Zeno is a counter to that. Freedom Dollar is a privacy stable coin that's not backed by US Treasury. So you're not supporting wars and tyranny around the world. You're actually able to use a privacy coin that's backed by over-collateralized Zeno and completely private. So this is one of the best counters that we have to the threat of technocracy. And I did a giveaway. on that, which we'll we'll talk about tonight. I've already notified the twenty winners and some have already redeemed their redeemed and have received eleven dollars worth of Freedom Dollar. And we'll walk through a little bit of the mechanics on that. But Freedom Dollar is a huge tool in our arsenal. And it's not just Freedom Dollar. You can actually offload your Freedom Dollar to a non-KYC debit card, MasterCard, that you can use at a hundred million merchants around the world. And so part of the giveaway was to give people enough Freedom Dollar that they can actually load it onto a card and spend it directly. So I think this combination of Freedom Dollar and the ZBIC MasterCard is going to be a terrific way to accelerate getting people into the ecosystem. The week before that we went through on season two, episode thirty four and discussed digital IDs and the fact that even though I follow technocracy, you know, full time. And one of my big issues is to alert people to technocracy. I hadn't even kept track of how quickly digital IDs are expanding around the world. Seventeen countries representing three billion people just signed digital IDs into law. They use the same three vendors. and they're looking at a rollout of next year or early, two thousand and seven Mexico. Q one of next year will have nationwide a full digital ID tied to a QR code tied to biometrics that will be enforced by employers. Employers who do not check and track digital ID will be immediately put out of business. This is a really draconian implementation, and I think it caught a lot of people off guard. In fact, most people still don't know about it. I know a lot of people that have recently moved to Mexico and I think maybe weren't aware of exactly how fast things are moving. And then, of course, we have Real ID here in the United States, which is digital in eleven states, twenty more states rolling it out digitally by the end of this year. So technocracy is not something that's going to happen in the future. Technocracy is here now. And technocracy is something that is not just for other countries. It's not just a WEF initiative. It's not something that just is going through the UN. Technocracy is flourishing here in the United States, which is why it is critical that we start moving to these decentralized alternatives as quickly as humanly possible. So I'm gonna share the official statement. This is the only statement that Roger has made. I don't even know if he's gonna be doing any interviews talking about this publicly at all. So this is all that we have officially, which is, I'm very grateful this case has been dismissed and appreciate the Trump administration's leadership and professionalism in working towards this final resolution. I am also grateful to everyone who supported me and sought justice in my case, Roger Vu. So there it is. Last week, I talked about the fact that there was this New York Times article that stated that there was a tentative deal and I wasn't so eager to jump up and down about that, because frankly, I thought unlikely that this news would break in the New York Times. If anything, if it was in the New York Times, it was to try to tank the deal. But I think the deal was official two days ago. So it wasn't actually, it was still tentative when the New York Times reported on it, which is why I didn't want to do any kind of victory dance, because frankly, I didn't have any knowledge to the contrary that the deal was finalized. So this is the official statement. You could read the official agreement that's online it's been published i'm not going to talk about the deal itself or anything other than to say that um you certainly know my opinion on government but i'm very grateful that uh that roger is is escaping the cage and uh and his the world is a better place with him out and free and so this is uh this is great news but it doesn't change the fact that technocracy is still accelerating at a rapid pace. One other thing update that happened this week, you know, since I really do focus on solutions, I mean, a lot of this is pointing out what the problem is. But at the end of the day, what I'm trying to do here is build a community of people that want to take their free will back and want to take action and start building alternatives and using alternatives. This is the whole key of this. So to me, this isn't about getting numbers of views or likes or generating ad revenue or anything like this. It's how many people have stopped using the dollar? How many people are moving away from big tech and using decentralized alternatives? Those are the things that ultimately matter as we're fighting technocracy. There's a great tool that was released by Mike Adams this week. It's his Enoch AI. And the Enoch AI has been available through his website for a while through Brighteon, but now you can actually download the AI onto your local computer and use it without being connected to the internet. And so what I like to say with this is, I mean, I always talk about self-custody, the importance of self-custody with crypto, even the importance of self-custody with precious metals. I mean, you don't want to, if you have a third party or a vault that's holding your gold, you really don't own you'd already don't own your foreign case. You don't know your ETFs. Well, this is definitely true with AI as well. I mean, if you're using it and it's online, it can always be cut off. But if you're using these online models, they're subject to censorship and manipulation, which we know already goes on. And I think we know a lot about the ideologies of the people that are running some of these, you know, tied with effective altruism and some other ideologies. So this is critical that you can now download an entire model onto your computer. and use it without any connection, without even having to be online. And I actually just did an interview with Mike. He had me on decentralized TV again today. I'm going to have him on next week. He will be on Thursday. Well, we're going to go and do a deep dive on this, but I've been playing with it on my own computer. I think this is a great leap for humanity, what he's done here. He's put two million dollars of his own money into creating this and giving it away for free so that people can have it on their own computer. And he's talked about how he's trained this. I mean, he has taken all of the news that he's collected, alternative, well, what's considered alternative health information, which should be the standard practice health information. You know, he was just telling me today that he had some massive amount, seven hundred terabytes of information or something that he had just translated a bunch of Chinese text and information about health related matters that he's training the data set on so this is the data that you're not going to get through any of the other models and when you use open ai or you use you know claude or even grok you know you'll notice that when it scours the results it's still going to these sources like wikipedia or webmd you know it's really not trained on interesting information it's still using largely these sources that are suspicious at best so this is a great wealth of information and i will tell you this is a you can see the screenshot here this is um the first the first thing that i did with it was i actually asked it were the you know give me the top ten cures for cancer in a table and lo and behold it actually gave Rich D' gave that information back so there's information in here that you know you're not going to get anywhere else and it's very interesting and very useful information, so please check that out. Rich D' The download here is right you.ai forward slash downloads and again this is free and something you can even put on a thumb drive and share with your friends and family so. Great job, Mike. And I hope many of you download this and realize that you can actually have now an AI in your own hands in your own possession without being connected to the internet. So tonight, I'm going to do I don't have any, I don't have a lot of like formal slides or anything put together tonight is going to be more about just show and tell I'm going to be showing some of the websites. that we put together. We're going to walk through some of the things that exist and some of the new offerings like the point of sale system. So I'm going to start with, you know, on this this issue of what's just happened with Roger. This has been part of a broader initiative that I've been working on for a long time, actually, since before Roger was even arrested. Um, when I wrote my book, when I wrote the final countdown, I discussed in the book, not only the coming threat of CBDCs, but also the fact that at the time we were going to be seeing a crackdown on crypto. So this is before it actually happened. Well, Ian's case had already happened, but he hadn't been through the sentencing phase yet. And so part of writing the book was to warn people that, Hey, Biden had an executive order one four zero six seven. that authorized the government to pursue officially a CBDC, even though we've been working on one since, and it authorized the entire federal government, all of the various departments that were relevant to completely crack down on cryptocurrency. And that's what happened. So Roger, I believe was brought up, was part of that. And so were many others. And in fact, I noticed that in particular, there seemed to be a lot of focus on people that are at the intersection of liberty and libertarianism and crypto. And I was like, why are they being targeted specifically? And the reason is that, you know, these are people that weren't breaking the law, but these are people that are promoting freedom and promoting the use of cryptocurrencies as something other than what you're issued by central banks or by government. And so while it's very exciting that Roger, his case is now resolved and before him, Ross Ulbrich, it's important to know that the war on crypto started under Biden is still going on. And it started even before Roger with Ian Freeman. Ian Freeman, who actually introduced Roger to Bitcoin in twenty ten through Free Talk Live radio. has been an advocate for Liberty. He has been promoting the use of cryptocurrencies as a way to stop violence and spread freedom around the world. And certainly with a focus on New Hampshire as well, where he's located as part of the Free State Project. And so he onboarded a bunch of merchants. He had ATMs. He offered services to help people convert fiat to Bitcoin. He got an opinion letter from a lawyer stating that he didn't need a money transmitter license to do this. And he was very clearly targeted by the federal government. They tried to trap him. They tried everything that they could to manufacture a case against him. And they were very successful doing this. And sitting in on the sentencing hearing, it was disgusting to watch the way to which they omitted evidence, tried to blame him and have him take responsibility for the actions of people that used his services. It was just absolutely horrendous to watch. And so he is in federal prison for eight years and it's for actually conspiracy to commit money laundering. It's the largest claim. The judge actually threw out the money laundering charge itself saying there wasn't enough evidence for that. So it's conspiracy to commit money laundering. So if you go to daylight freedom, you will see there's this Biden Lawfare tab. And so we're gonna keep up and we're gonna keep raising awareness on all of these crypto prisoners of war, provide information about their case, and more importantly, links to action you can take. So just like almost a hundred thousand people have signed the freerojernow.org petition, there is a freeiannow.org petition as well. And so I encourage you to sign that at freiannow.org. It does help. It really does. It matters. It helped with Ross. I believe that it was helpful with Roger, and we need to be there to help Ian as well. We also need to be there to support Roman Storm. And by the way, there are others. I mean, there are a lot of cases. I mean, I'm not, you know, my primary thing day to day is technocracy and building solutions. So, you know, please don't send me just random cases. I get a lot of emails all the time on various things. I'm specifically focusing on raising awareness on specific cases that I believe are tied to people who were trying to spread and promote freedom and that are really in the crosshairs of this broader technocratic agenda. So Roman Storm fits that bill as well. He developed Tornado Cash, which allows you to mix transactions and keep your transactions private. And with a focus actually on Ethereum, because if you think about Ethereum in a way, if you think about Ethereum as being a world's computer, then people are running a bunch of apps on this world computer. But because it's a transparent blockchain, everybody can see what apps everyone's running. And so his theory was, well, look, that seems like a bad idea. People could come to great harm because of this, of other people. It's not about governments in particular, but we certainly see bad actors outside of the government. The government certainly is the worst of the actors. And so he got a... opinion i don't know if it's a fully opinion letter but the advice that he got from lawyers was that what he was doing was legal he didn't need a money transmitter license he didn't have any issues and he ended up raising venture capital from some very sophisticated investors who also consulted an attorney and that attorney said that what roman was doing was legal so this is a situation this is the same as i mentioned with ian and roger and others where it's it's they actually took the extra step with making sure what they were doing was legal before and the action was taken against him. So Roman was targeted because, you know, again, remember, we're in this Biden regime. Biden wants to roll out CBDCs. If you're gonna roll out CBDCs, you need to get rid of the competition. People are not gonna like CBDCs. And so you have to stop all of the people that are effective at promoting things that go against your unconstitutional and moral position of rolling out these big CBDCs. And so Roman was in the crosshairs of this. In his case, he wasn't located in new york but his case ended up being in the southern district of new york which is the worst district in the united states in terms of the possibility of getting a fair case and and roman is not independently wealthy he actually moved to the united states became a citizen was from russia but was you know working odd jobs and then started this company so he's not sitting there with you know a huge amount of money to fund legal fees and so he's already five million dollars in he's lost uh he lost um he didn't lose on all you know the most troublesome aspects of his case, like facilitation of terrorism or whatever. He lost on, again, a conspiracy claim. And so now he's at a sentencing phase of his case. And so he's going to fight this on appeal, but he actually needs financial support. So in Roman's case, I encourage you to go to freeromanstorm.com. And if you can, please donate to his legal fund. He's had a lot of people that have stepped up But he's going to need even more support as he goes through this. So I'm going to continue to support these folks and do everything that I can to help raise awareness. I'm not going to be very helpful in terms of working inside the administration, but to the extent that there's a component of this that involves raising public awareness, Daylight Freedom is going to be there and we're going to continue to do this. freeeannow.org, freeromanstorm.com. So back to where we are here. I'm not going to go through this just quite yet, but we will get there. What I will say is I encourage you to... to visit the Aaron day show.com. This is a better, the best way to view this podcast. Moving forward. I've integrated live chat. So you can see there's an additional live chat there in addition to you know what you have on on YouTube and everything else, but I'm building a lot of custom features into this. So for instance, this giveaway of freedom dollar is only for registered users of the site and so we did pick twenty and sent out those emails and I've already funded I think four or five of them so but there are other features on this website that are useful to know and that aren't available through any of the other channels and so we have all of the episodes on this website and and you can see that they're all tagged so you can sort all of the episodes by tag But on top of that, there's an ongoing discussion that happens. So you can comment on all of the episodes. I've added a music and memes tab. So the songs that I played at the beginning, a lot of people requested. being able to listen to those songs you know there's a way here for you to listen to the audio and you can see the entire playlist and then to the extent i've made videos or if it's not a video just a picture with the lyrics and a audio visualizer that's there as well and so you can vote up or down on these things you can even comment on the songs that'll actually be helpful for me to To continue to make more, I was going to make a new song tonight, but you know, I actually, I started doing AI music specifically for, to raise awareness around Rogers. Okay. So that's how I actually even started playing around with this. So the very first song I played, they want to give them one Oh nine. That was like, you can even tell when you listen to it, that was one of the earlier versions of, of the AI that I use for this called Suno. But I enjoy making these songs. And usually what happens is I create the content for the episode in advance. And then I create the song and lyrics off of the content. So the songs themselves kind of tell a bit of a story in a condensed way. So anyway, you can comment on those songs and provide feedback as well. I'm also generating memes. Not all the episodes have memes. This has been something that I've only been doing somewhat recently. But I think that this is important as well. Sometimes this podcast goes on for three, four, five hours. A lot of it's the Q&A at the end. It's not me necessarily delivering that much content. But there are some powerful ideas here, and I know a lot of people aren't going to listen to all of it. So in addition to making clips of the episode itself, we also have memes and the music. And I think some of these memes are pretty powerful. And again, you can provide your feedback on the memes as well and comment and provide, you know, your feedback. Also, you know, I've worked through this as well. I mean, I've done probably, I don't know, a hundred and fifty, two hundred interviews on other podcasts. I don't have them all up. I'm not going to put them all up, but then I have kind of, you know, a hundred or so of the best podcasts that cover a variety of different topics. So you can, you can view those also on the site. There is the first principles project. This is something that I've announced that we're working on, which is, you know, look, my argument is the U S I've been saying for a while, America, one point O is over. And some people think that you can save it. I think I could probably prove, and we will, my wife and I try to walk through how the political process actually works and what would be required. Usually when something gets to the level of collapse or where it's so inverted from its original intent. Usually, these things collapse. There's no historical precedent. I've researched this. I've talked to other people that study this type of thing. You don't see turnarounds. This isn't like a turnaround for a company. This type of governmental structure doesn't usually get reformed. And so that leaves the question of, OK, well, is what this country was founded on did it fail because of the the first principles that it was founded on or did it fail because of the implementation kind of like bitcoin did bitcoin you know i would argue fail but did it fail because of the original design of the white paper or because what happened after what was implemented in code or because of what happened at the layer beyond that but the point is i don't think we understand governance i don't think we have good answers i think that you know the us was certainly an upgrade from what we had prior to that, which was we had a lot of monarchies and other dictatorial regimes, and now we're kind of moving, phasing into that. But then there are a lot of questions that you could think about, even if you are one of these people that believes that, well, you know, this was the best system ever devised, and somehow you can't come up with anything better. When you start thinking about the implications of AI, and some things that we've learned over the last two hundred and fifty years, and you try to test that against the original design, there are some flaws. So to me, I don't have the answers, but it seems like nobody's really talking about what the important core ideas are. And this principles tab, you can submit first principles that you think you'd like to see discussed. And I'm going to set this up as kind of an online, I'm going to call it a discussion or discourse, not a debate, because I hate these debate processes where it's just everybody trying to get in their talking points or whatever. The whole point behind this is to actually have depthful conversation and allow each person to make their own mind up as to what they think about what they just heard. It's not a It's not designed to be a gotcha moment type of thing. It's actually intended to be a fruitful conversation that people may come out with different takeaways from. So you can submit your principle here. You can nominate speakers. So, you know, some of the topics that people proposed free will, self-funding, social productivity, equal moral standing are some examples of first principles and speakers that have been nominated include Mark Passio, Thomas Greco Jr., Courtney Turner. So this is just in the early stages. But at some point, I'm going to host one of these and I may do these once a month. And I think that this is useful because as the U.S. and as institutions around the world collapse, I think it would be helpful if people, even if you're creating a network state, if you at least understand from first principles what it is that you're trying to do. and maybe don't repeat some of the same mistakes. And this can apply to your personal life as well. I mean, how do you govern your own life? What are your own core principles? So I think this can be useful in many different ways. It can also be useful, and I think probably maybe one of the biggest use cases is when we have this conversation about AI. and what to do about AI. Because again, as much as I think about it, and we've talked about this a lot, some people just aren't aware of what AI, the implications of AI. They want to shield themselves from it or they'll say, well, you know, it's a bubble or, you know, or they worry about that it's going to take away their job. I will tell you, and I'm sure I'll end up doing more episodes. I'm going to have Mike Adams on again next week. AI is going to and already has, but will profoundly reshape the economy and many other areas. And it's not a bubble. It may be a bubble in the sense that so many people are investing in compute power. And I think that probably what's going to happen is AI will figure out how to make AIs that run in a way that's more energy efficient. So I don't think that this whole arms race of spending trillions of dollars and everything, that might be a bubble. But the impact of AI is is unprecedented and I've experienced this. I use a whole bunch of AI even for putting together the sites and the show and music and everything else. And I've been really building into this. I just bought this new NVIDIA supercomputer. I'll have it tomorrow and I'll show you some of the things that I can do with it. But you do realize as you start using it and understanding it, that it is going to profoundly change The productivity landscape and some people call it a post labor economy. I don't know what the answer is or how this is going to work, but I do know that the productivity gains from AI are significantly better. It will be than any other technology that we've seen in our lifetimes for sure. And so what do you do with that? How does that actually work? A lot of people, you know, proposed UBI. This is a very popular thing. You see everybody from Peter Diamandis to Elon Musk to others talking about this. So here's the problem. The problem is with something like UBI, which, by the way, the idea behind UBI goes back to Thomas Paine or even before that, Thomas Moore, who wrote the book Utopia. And then others that you might be surprised about, like Milton Friedman, have also promoted the idea of having a negative income tax. The problem is that when you understand the ideology of some of these technocrats, they don't value free will. They don't even value a humanity-centric approach. So UBI, if centralized by technocrats, does not value. I mean, you might come at this from the same part. A lot of people just assume the Constitution or assume inalienable rights are built into these systems. They are not built into these systems. The technocrats that are predominantly pushing this don't believe in that. So I don't like I said, I don't have the answers, but I do truly firmly believe in free will. And, you know, and Primacy of our own consciousness. And I will tell you, that is not the default position of the people that are having the policy conversations about how AI is going to move forward. So I hope that this principles thing turns out to be, you know, I certainly don't think it's going to be a big hit. But I think for people that are actually genuinely interested or have the humility to say, hey, you know what? We don't have the answers. We've just screwed this up. I mean, I use as the example, you know, it took two hundred fifty years for the US to get to this state. Bitcoin has collapsing on itself in sixteen years. So I don't think anybody should be arrogant enough to think that they figured it out. I think we have to realistically say we don't have all the answers, but at least let's examine where we are. And then let's take the challenges or opportunities that are coming up because of technology and some other things and throw that into the mix and see what happens. So more on that. As I said, they're online. discussions going on on every aspect of the site, whether it's on the episodes or the music or whatever it happens to be. I want this to be a place for engagement. We're building a movement here of people that want to be sovereign and that want to take control of their own life. I want this site to be one of the ways that you can go about doing that. So you can also see kind of a snapshot here on the community tab of everything that's going on. This is also a place where you can, a request booking me for either being on another podcast or for doing speaking events or whatever, whatever it happens to be. And many, I'm getting a lot of people who want to be on the show, uh, as guests. And what I want to say about that is I do have guests. I mean, I, you know, I'm going to start figuring out how to segment this better moving forward, but, um, the focus of this show and the reason that I'm doing this is in this broader context of technocracy versus freedom. And so there are these three areas only that I want to focus on. One, waking people up to the threat of technocracy. Most people don't know what technocracy is. And it's frightening when you do understand it's almost a hundred year movement that has an ideology behind it that is, I would argue, anti-free will. And when you do understand that, then it'll change the nature of how you prioritize what you're working on. The next part is autonomy reboot, which is the simple idea is this, that we do have free will. People might not recognize that. And we have the ability to exercise it. But our free will is constantly being taxed by institutions, by institutions. government schools, by government itself, by media, by entertainment, and increasingly by technology and algorithms. We have the ability to recognize that and exit those systems and take back responsibility for our own life. And that is the root of how we're going to defeat this technocracy and move things forward in a way that is based on abundance and flourishing and free will. And it is possible, but it's completely an individual job. All of this is an individual job. There are no white knights. There is not a single person that's going to save us. Each of us individually have to save ourselves, but it starts by recognizing what other people are trying to do to hijack that free will and to understand what's behind that. And then beyond that, the third area is actually then building these decentralized solutions. And this is what tonight's episode is about, and I'm going to try to balance it out. Maybe the Monday episode will be about technocracy and the Thursday episode will be about what the solutions are for that. So I've put together a couple of these indices, technocracy level, monarchy level. I'm not going to go through that here, but I put these together to just measure and look at the news each week in the context of Once you understand what the technocrats are trying to do, and the end game of technocracy is a single global economy with an energy credit currency, where it's run by technocrats or now actually AI. It doesn't even need to be run by scientists and engineers. It needs to be run by AI. And so, you know, I put together this tiering system. And part of what is going on in the U.S. to facilitate this is the consolidation of power in the executive branch. And literally, Curtis Yarvin and others have called for We need a monarch or a CEO or a dictator in charge because that's better than democracy. Again, we're not supposed to even have a democracy. But I'm going to measure how we're doing in terms of this because what I believe I've documented and others, Courtney Turner and Patrick Wood have documented is the fact that We are moving towards this monarchy and the monarchy is an interim step to technocracy. The mistake people are making is they think that, oh, well, you know, we want to put, you know, give a lot of power to Trump or maybe in the future to J.D. Vance to dismantle the deep state and dismantle the administrative state. But the core assumption built into that is that once that has happened, the Constitution is going to be restored. That is not what's happening. The idea here is to empower the executive branch to facilitate technocracy. And I've done several episodes on this, but it's as clear as day and you can see it with Doge. Doge was not about cutting costs. Doge was about putting AI into a decision-making position, which is why the outcome of Doge was not any savings, but connecting Palantir to federal government systems. And then that information feeding into your real ID, that is not reducing the role of government. It may reduce the number of people involved in government, but it will actually increase the role of government. And it is a move towards technocracy. So I'm going to start framing this in a way and I'll outline the system so that people can understand what's actually going on because people tend to just look at what's going on on a day-to-day basis and think that, oh, we're not really moving into this type of situation. And when you actually see the results objectively laid out, you'll come to a different conclusion. Related to that, we have a technocracy roundtable, which is going to be next week. It's actually next Wednesday at six p.m. And the focus of that conversation is going to be on AI in health care, which. And again, I'm not anti AI, just like I'm not anti digital currency for privacy coins, but I'm not for CBDCs. Unfortunately, when you see how AI is already being used in health care, it's not in a way that is empowering us as individuals it's already being marshaled against us. And so that particular roundtable will be highlighting a lot of that. All right, onto the main focus for tonight, which is around two things. One, the Freedom Dollar giveaway. And so last week, what we discussed was, I said I would give away, if we got a hundred people to sign up, For the website, I would pick twenty at random and then give them eleven dollars worth of Freedom Dollar, which is enough that you could then load a debit card, a ZVEC debit card, and use that debit card to buy anything anywhere in the world, basically a hundred million merchants. And I'll actually play a clip where you can see From Bree Teresi, you can actually see her using a MasterCard that was funded with Freedom Dollar. I'm here in Santana Road today, and I'm going to be doing a little bit of shopping with Freedom Dollar. Freedom Dollar is the first ever private stable coin. Did you know that over two and a half billion dollars worth of tether has been frozen? If money can be frozen, that means it's not your money. Let's get this shopping spree started using Freedom Dollar. Let's go. Okay, I just found my favorite lip gloss. It is a thirty-five Freedom Dollar. Let's go check out. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, I just found this backpack and I think it is so cute. On sale for seventy four dollars. So I just loaded up my ZBEC gift card with Freedom Dollar and I'm going to go ahead and buy this now. I'm going to be using my ZBEC card loaded up with Freedom Dollar to buy this backpack. Thank you. Thank you so much. Have a good day. Bye. I bought all of this with Freedom Dollar. As you could see, the process was super smooth. All I had to do was load up a ZBEC gift card and I bought everything today with Freedom Dollar. So that's a very powerful solution. Now, again, the whole point of this is not you know, MasterCard, right? The whole point of this ultimately is to get to direct peer to peer commerce. But this is a great intermediate step because it gets people using a wallet and it gets you using your wallet to fund the card. And so it's then the easy next transition is more and more merchants start taking Zeno and Freedom Dollar directly. You can even cut out having to use the MasterCard. But right now, I mean, I live on crypto. I've been living on crypto since twenty nineteen and I am one hundred percent at this point, almost one hundred percent in the Zeno ecosystem. So I use the ZBIC MasterCard and I use all things related to Zeno for all of my transactions now. And this ZBIC MasterCard is a game changer because I've used various crypto debit cards over the years. They often take a long time to load. You may have to wait two or three hours for the funds to get onto the card. Sometimes you run into issues where the card isn't accepted. it's a big issue and you know my my uh my kids have given me a lot of grief over it because it's like we've been shopping it's like all right well let me buy this gift card and you have to wait ten minutes for the gift card and it's just kind of whatever this eliminates all of that in fact you know my son already has a one of these cards himself so they're actually using it and know how how easy it is and how powerful it is so i encourage you to check that out and what i'm going to do is sorry i'm jumping around a little bit tonight because you know i just wanted to show these things live so like i said this is not it's time to start showing and doing um and again part of this is the education piece but then also i've built a number of these tools that are either community tools or resources to help people get on board start using these systems and to start building on these systems we are absolutely at that stage we are at the stage of adoption we are not at the stage of building the technology or waiting for the technology to be ready. We are at the building phase. We're at the using phase. This is real. You can build parallel systems for everything now, food, healthcare, anything that you want. You can buy and sell things, create marketplaces. You now have a private stablecoin, so you don't have to be stuck with these CBDCs or backdoor CBDC stablecoins. You can make your Bitcoin private. You can make your Ethereum private and spendable. And then merchants can now accept these alternative currencies. This is here now. So there's so when people say to me, well, what can I do or, you know, or in the past, as I've been talking about this for eighteen months, you know, early on, this was I would if you listen to some of my earlier podcasts, I would talk about things that will happen in the future. All those things have happened and you can use them now. So if you go to freedomforge.io, we're going to spend a little time on the site tonight on a couple of areas. And I'm putting the link into the chat, freedomforge.io. uh what we're going to talk about tonight is a couple things but we'll start with the start with the freedom dollar so this relates to the to the giveaway that we just did so this is pretty straightforward you can go through here and it gives you step-by-step guides by the way i'm going to be doing online courses and i will be doing in-person workshops as well but my goal is to empower and onboard as many people as possible so i'm going to always make you know some this information freely available and will continue to try to work to make it easier to understand so give me feedback on this sometimes it's tough i've been using computers for forty five years i mean i'm kind of in sometimes you know you can be so embedded in a situation that uh you think something is easier natural and and you realize that for for people that maybe haven't used any of these systems before It's not completely intuitive. So the whole purpose is to make these tools useful. So I don't view criticism badly. I view criticism or feedback as important so that we can onboard more people. And in a lot of ways, I've done a lot of these in-person workshops. Getting that feedback to the developers of these sites and the developers of these wallets is also helpful because they're also interested in making their tools useful for use. So when you click on the start with Freedom Dollar, this gives you a real easy step step by step process. You pick which wallet you want to use. And in this case, what I have promoted for the freedom dollar giveaway is to use the xano official xano mobile wallet or the desktop wallet and the reason for that is you need to connect your wallet directly to the zbeck website in order to fund the car you can't do that with these other wallets yet so this is why i'm recommending that but you will see there's there are videos to watch tutorials so you can pick a wallet and you can actually watch a an online video at your own speed and go through and get your wallet configured Then once you have your wallet configured, you go to the next step. And the next step here is to configure FreedomDollar. So you have to add FreedomDollar. FreedomDollar is an asset. It's an asset created on the Zeno blockchain. So Zeno allows you to create tokens, privacy tokens that represent other assets. And those other assets could be a stock. It could be a stable coin. You can even tokenize Bitcoin itself. You can tokenize literally anything. NFTs, there's no restriction on what you tokenize. can tokenize. But in order for you to be able to view those tokens in your wallet, you have to actually specify you have to do what's called whitelisting the asset. And the reason for this is that people are creating thousands of tokens all over the place and your wallet would be unusable if you went on there and you just saw you know five thousand different tokens that's not very useful plus you know you want to keep out spam or scammers or people that might you know this happens a lot with ethereum where you know people will because you don't have unique token names people will scam people whatever so you want to make sure you have the right asset id so you white list that in your wallet and then boom and now you're able to receive Freedom Dollar. And the thing is, you have one wallet address for Zeno. So if I send you Freedom Dollar to use, I just need your Zeno address. I don't need a separate address for Freedom Dollar or a separate address for a free Roger token or whatever it happens to be. Literally, your one Zeno address is where I can send any tokens created on Zeno and Zeno itself. So this is a very powerful tool. So once you get that configured in your wallet with that address, then you can get the ZBEK virtual card. And there's a whole tutorial for that as well, a great video that the folks at Zainalist put together, and I encourage you to follow them as well. Zainalist.com and Zainalist on YouTube, they have a very good YouTube channel that has a whole bunch of videos that are like three to five minutes in length that are really concise and straightforward well-explained guides to help you to help you to get on board and then so then once you do that then you're then you're on board and then you can be like brie where you're traveling around the world and you're shopping with the, this it's a virtual card, but you can tie it to Google wallet or Apple wallet and use it with tap tap tap to pay. And so, so that's, that's that, um, this isn't the new thing that I'm announcing, uh, for this episode, this was really from last week, but I did just announce the winners and I sent out a tweet about that as well. So. By the way, this is another reason to sign up for TheAaronDayShow.com, because I will be doing other giveaways. As the ecosystem evolves, as more projects are added, TheAaronDayShow.com and the other sites that I'm creating are gonna be the way that we, well, one way that these new tools are introduced to the world. So that's where we are on, the giveaway from last week today what i'm going to talk about which is very exciting is the fact that now you as a merchant can receive freedom dollar and xeno for your goods and services now i created a plug-in on this a while ago called the woocommerce payment gateway it was a little rough it worked but it wasn't as automated as it should be um there's a new plugin that's been created And I encourage you and we'll walk through this today. I'll even show you the video called any coin payment gateway. And so I'm using this myself. I'll show you the store that I've created using the any coin payment gateway. So this allows you to accept Freedom Dollar. And in Zeno, and I've been told that they will soon be offering the ability to take BTCX and EthX. What is BTCX and EthX? These are the privatized versions of Bitcoin and Ethereum created using confidential layer. So this is one of the amazing developments in the Zeno ecosystem is now you can take your Bitcoin and Ethereum and tokenize it, make it private and spendable using Zeno. And so what you will be able to do is now you as a merchant using WooCommerce will be able to have your storefront and you will be able to accept Zeno, Freedom Dollar and BTCX and EthX, which just gives you access to, you know, two and a half trillion dollars worth of purchasing power. This makes Bitcoin and Ethereum spendable in a way that's private and allows you as a merchant. open to be open to this entire new source of customers and source of liquidity. It's a huge deal. So, forty percent of websites in the entire world use WordPress. So WordPress powers eight hundred and fifty million sites. WooCommerce is a free open source tool that allows you to create e-commerce shops within WordPress. So I think last time I checked, there was something like eight million stores created using WooCommerce. And so what AnyCoin is, is a plugin for WooCommerce that allows you to add Zeno and FreedomDollar as a payment method. So I will show you, we'll go back to the freedom forge website and now we're going to go to a different tab we're going to go to the sell with xeno tab and now we go down here and you can see it says recommended any coin payment gateway so you you select that as you're going through the guide then it says so the first step that it takes you to which we're not going to go through today but i've linked to what i've found to be one of the best tutorials out there i didn't create it but on uh on how to set up woocommerce it's like a half an hour video we're not going to go through that now but there are plenty of online resources for setting up wordpress setting up the woocommerce e-commerce environment then once it's installed once woocommerce is installed then you can configure AnyCoin. And I will play that video because you can see how simple it is. So if you already have WooCommerce, you can see that just in a couple of minutes, you will be able to accept Zeno and Freedom Dollar. Hello everyone and welcome back to another XAML List video. In this video, I will show you how you can accept FUST and XAML on your WordPress WooCommerce store. So as you can see, I have an example WordPress store here. It's completely blank. So what I'm going to need to do first is go on over to plugins on the left side here. I'm going to click add plugin. And first, I'm going to need to download WooCommerce. I'm going to go ahead and search this in the directory here. Then I need to download this one here, WooCommerce. I'm going to click Install. And then I'm going to click Activate again here. Then I can go ahead and go through this setup guide. And for this video, I am going to skip this guide. Okay, as you can see, I now have WooCommerce installed. Now I can go ahead and add the payment processor. So I'm going to click Add Plugin again. And this time, I'm going to type FennyCoin. I'm going to click Search. And here it is here. So I'm going to click Install. As you see, it's now installed. And then I can click Activate. Then as you can see here, you can now see AnyCoin out of here. I'm going to go ahead and click that. And here you'll be able to see your AnyCoin transactions. So every single Zano and FUSD transaction will be recorded here. So to set up the plugin, go into Settings, go into Payments, And as you can see here, I have any coin payment here, which is currently inactive. So I'm going to go ahead and enable it. Now I need to tick manage. And here I can tweak the settings. So AnyCoin already comes with a pain and IB verification API, which is completely free to use. But if you want to use your own, you can go ahead and do so. But otherwise, you can leave it by default. So I'm going to go ahead and enter my wallet address. And then I enter my private view key. And the private view key allows AnyCoin to view a transaction that has happened into your wallet. And I'll link another video in the description of how you can find your private view key. Then you can add a price buffer. So for example, if someone sends a hundred dollars and there's a difference of one percent, so one dollar, then it's going to approve the transaction. Require confirmations. How many times do you want the confirmation t
