There is a belief that MKULTRA didn't actually end, but that it went underground to the world of cults.

Joseph explained the origin of his persona and his entry into 3D gun printing through JStark's AR-15 CAD model and the FGC-9 (Fuck Gun Control) project. He described how the FGC-9 was designed to be manufactured with basic tools, outsourcing complex shapes to 3D printers while keeping metal parts simple. The discussion explores the philosophical parallels between Monero and 3D printed guns in fighting state monopolies. He highlighted his gun design improvements over the FGC-9, creating the first fully printable gun using no regulated parts worldwide. They also cover Joseph's upcoming presentation at MoneroKon and the importance of bridging the crypto and gun rights communities.

Institutional involvement (BlackRock, governments) could lead to new ones.Layer 2 solution for faster transactions (up to 1M TPS).Works like a bar tab: open & close channels.Concerns: Centralization, slow adoption.El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender using Lightning Network.Altcoins – Compete with Bitcoin (Ethereum, Solana, Cardano).Stablecoins – Pegged to fiat (USDT, USDC, DAI).Utility Tokens – Provide access to services (Chainlink, Uniswap).Meme Coins – Speculative, community-driven (Dogecoin, Shiba Inu).Privacy Coins – Enable anonymous transactions (Monero, Zcash).CBDCs – Government-issued digital currencies.Security Tokens – Tokenized real estate & stocks.Governance Tokens – Used for decentralized decision-making.Gaming & Metaverse Tokens – Power virtual economies.DePIN Coins – Decentralized infrastructure tokens.AI Tokens – Emerging AI-focused assets.Citycoins – Used by cities to mine Bitcoin or other assets.Mysterious origins (Satoshi Nakamoto remains anonymous).Decentralized (No central control or CEO).Fixed Supply (21 million BTC, making it deflationary).Secure (Strongest blockchain with the longest history).Resilient (Survived crashes, bans, and technical challenges).Bitcoin Risks: Volatility, regulation uncertainty, technical complexity.Crypto Risks: Scams, centralized control, security vulnerabilities.The Bitcoin vs. broader crypto divide is growing.Bitcoin remains the most decentralized, while altcoins introduce innovation.Institutional interest (BlackRock, governments) is shaping the next phase of digital assets.Will Bitcoin remain dominant, or will crypto adoption shift?

Each episode aims to be easily accessible while covering complex topics like the Federal Reserve, intelligence networks, and different power groups of the past. Derek shares his approach of verifying sources and avoiding speculation, focusing on documented evidence. They also dive into contemporary issues, particularly discussing Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and their roles in the emerging technocracy. Derek highlighted concerns about the increasing integration of private technology companies with government power, especially through projects like Palantir.

Welcome back to another episode of The Confab. This episode, I catch up with my good friend, Badders, who is not only the creator of our podcast's intro music but also a return guest and colleague from our time at 21ism. Badders and I explore the concept of sovereignty and the idea of separating oneself from government control. We discuss the notion of the government as a legal fiction, a corporate entity that operates through trickery and deception, and how individuals can potentially extricate themselves from this system. Badders shares his journey of living a self-sustainable life in rural South of France, where he and his family have embraced a lifestyle of independence and connection with nature. We also touch upon the darker aspects of history and the influence of powerful families and organizations that have shaped the current global system. Badders shares his insights from diving deep into various historical and conspiracy theories, exploring the roots of satanic freemasonry, mind control, and the manipulation of global events by elite families. It's a conversation that challenges the status quo and encourages listeners to explore these topics further, offering a glimpse into the potential for a life of true freedom and independence.https://www.thesovereignproject.live/IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME CLOTHING @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/store/- BUY SOME ART!! @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/art-gallery/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

According to preliminary estimates, an adversary could take advantage of the divergence between the real spend age distribution and the status quo decoy distribution to achieve an attack success probability of 23.5%, on average, since the August 2022 hard fork. This corresponds to an effective ring size of 4.2.
