00:01 Buy yourself a Bitkey. Please buy
00:03 yourself a Bitkey. Hackers and scammers
00:06 are trying to get your Bitcoin. And
00:09 eventually, for some of you, they will
00:11 succeed if you do not buy yourself a
00:14 Bitkey. Just in the last week, I've
00:16 worked with multiple people who combined
00:19 have lost more than $100,000
00:23 to hackers and scammers. In each
00:25 situation, it's different. Some
00:27 sometimes people get called out of the
00:29 blue by somebody pretending to be a
00:31 security consult, you know, on the
00:33 security uh team for Coinbase or one of
00:36 the other major cryptocurrency
00:37 exchanges. Sometimes it's, you know,
00:40 people claiming fraudulent activity on
00:42 an account and offering to help lock it
00:44 down. Other times, it's people whose
00:47 they don't have two-step verification
00:49 turned on on their Google account.
00:51 hackers get hold of their um their
00:53 Google account which give them access to
00:55 two-factor authentication codes on
00:56 Google authenticator. It gives them
00:58 access to the password manager for
00:60 Google. They get into cryptocurrency
01:02 accounts that that way. Literally in the
01:04 last one week, multiple people I've been
01:06 on the phone with multiple people who
01:09 have been either hacked or scammed out
01:11 of more than $100,000.
01:15 And maybe some of them will get it back.
01:17 Probably they won't. It's really, really
01:19 hard. So buy yourself a bit key. What is
01:22 a bit key? A bit key is this little oct
01:25 oct o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
01:26 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
01:26 o octctagonal, however you say that, o o
01:29 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oct
01:29 octagonal, I think octagonal octagonal
01:32 device, six-sided little device that
01:35 stores a Bitcoin private key on it. And
01:38 in order to move your Bitcoin, you have
01:40 to touch the device to the back of your
01:41 phone. And hackers obviously can't touch
01:44 your device to the back of their phone
01:46 because they don't have your device. And
01:48 so it keeps hackers from getting your
01:49 Bitcoin. Now the the team behind Bitkey,
01:52 it's made by uh Square uh now called
01:56 Block. They used to be called Square.
01:57 They make the Square payment terminals.
01:59 They make the uh the app Cash App. So if
02:02 you've heard of Cash App, it's made by
02:04 the same people. The company is founded
02:06 and run by Jack Dorsey, the founder of
02:08 Twitter. After uh he sold Twitter to
02:12 Elon Musk, he focused exclusively on his
02:15 financial company, which is now called
02:17 Block. It used to be called Square, but
02:18 again, they make payment terminals
02:20 called which is the Square payment
02:21 terminals. They make Cash App and they
02:23 make Bit Key and he's the big uh Jack
02:25 Dorsey the big supporter of Bitcoin. So,
02:27 they thought of everything to make sure
02:29 you are not going to lose your Bitcoin.
02:32 Um so, this little thing, this little
02:34 octagon thing that you have to touch to
02:36 your phone to move your Bitcoin around.
02:38 Um that little device you have to uh you
02:42 know, you have to have it. So, hackers
02:43 can't move your Bitcoin if you don't
02:44 have the device. If you lose the device,
02:47 your phone can put a key back on a new
02:49 Bit Key device. If you lose your phone,
02:52 your Bit Key device can put the private
02:54 key back on your phone because in order
02:57 for your Bitcoin to move, the two
02:59 devices have to touch the Bitcoin the uh
03:01 the phone and the Bitkey device have to
03:04 touch in order for it to basically
03:06 combine, sign the transaction, and move
03:07 the Bitcoin. So, a hacker does not
03:10 physically hold your phone and they
03:12 don't physically hold your Bit Key
03:14 device because that's the whole point.
03:15 You keep it somewhere safe. If you
03:17 somehow lose your Bit Key device and
03:19 your phone simultaneously, they have a
03:22 recovery process built in where you have
03:25 to wait 7 days to make sure it's not a
03:27 hacker. It sends you a bunch of push
03:28 notifications, a bunch of emails, a
03:30 bunch of text messages saying, "Hey, are
03:32 you sure you want the block company to
03:34 restore the key to a new Bit Key device
03:37 and to a new phone of yours if you lose
03:40 both of those?" And they have all sorts
03:42 of security backups in place to make
03:43 sure that it's basically impossible for
03:46 a hacker to get your Bitcoin key
03:49 restored to their phone or their Bit
03:51 device. So, it's a brilliant device set.
03:53 They made it literally I mean just
03:56 almost statistically impossible that you
03:58 could possibly lose your Bitcoin due to
04:01 doing something wrong and also like
04:04 statistically impossible that a hacker
04:06 or scammer can get their hands on it. Uh
04:09 recently, and this is somebody I didn't
04:10 know, so just the you know more than
04:12 $100,000 lost by literally multiple
04:14 people I do know. Uh separate from that,
04:18 there's a person online who last week
04:20 lost $91 million
04:23 uh by a scammer. Uh a scammer pretended
04:26 to be Gemini, the cryptocurrency
04:28 exchange, and Ledger, uh which is a
04:31 hardware wallet manufacturer. And
04:33 because all of that, the way all of that
04:35 works involves seed phrases and
04:36 complicated stuff, they were able to
04:39 trick him into transferring his Bitcoin,
04:41 which again would not happen with
04:42 Bitkey. Because with Bit Key, you don't
04:44 have seed phrases that you can give to a
04:46 scammer. And all of the tricks that
04:48 scammers know to use and hackers know
04:51 how to use, they just don't work on
04:52 BitKey. And that's by design. Literally,
04:54 when they invented BitKey, they tried to
04:57 make it absolutely hackerproof and
04:59 scammer and foolproof, meaning you can't
05:03 screw it up. So they thought of
05:04 absolutely everything to make sure you
05:06 couldn't screw it up and a hacker
05:08 couldn't get to it, a scammer couldn't
05:10 get to it, and your your Bitcoin would
05:12 be safe forever. So again, they've got
05:14 recovery built in. If you lose your
05:17 phone, you're still good. If you lose
05:18 your Bit Key device, you're still good.
05:20 If you lose both of them at the same
05:21 time, you're still good because they
05:23 have this whole system of uh of recovery
05:26 contacts and all of that, which, you
05:28 know, it guides you through setting all
05:29 that up. It's super easy. Um, my wife
05:32 set up a bit key from scratch, knowing
05:35 nothing about it or how it worked in
05:37 less than six minutes. My sister set up
05:39 a bit key from scratch, knowing
05:41 absolutely nothing about it, not even
05:43 where to start. I literally handed her
05:45 the box and said, "See if you can get,
05:47 you know, $100 or $10 from Coinbase onto
05:51 this device and and I'll see how long it
05:54 takes you." And it took less than six
05:55 minutes. So, buy yourself a Bitkeye. It
05:58 is the only reliable way to keep your h
06:01 your Bitcoin out of the hands of hackers
06:04 and scammers. And if you're worried that
06:06 somebody's going to, you know, hold you
06:07 up at gunpoint, well, go keep your Bit
06:10 Key device in a safe deposit box at a
06:12 bank and then you can make sure that
06:13 that doesn't happen to. But I have never
06:16 heard of anybody I've known or in my
06:17 extended network that you have that had
06:20 to worry about somebody in real life.
06:22 It's entirely like 99.999%
06:25 hackers and scammers. And that is solved
06:29 beautifully by Bit Key. I mean,
06:32 beautifully by Bit Key. Please, please,
06:34 please get yourself a Bit Key and do not
06:37 let yourself get hacked and scammed. It
06:40 is brutal to experience that. I do not
06:42 want you to experience that. And if you
06:44 if you have Bitcoin that's just sitting
06:46 there on Coinbase, for example, hackers
06:48 are very very actively targeting
06:52 Coinbase. I mean, constant text message
06:54 blasts, constant emails, constant I
06:58 mean, every, you know, phone calls, live
06:60 phone calls, just it's just constant um
07:03 hackers trying to get Bitcoin,
07:05 especially Bitcoin that is on Coinbase
07:07 just because that's the largest exchange
07:08 in the United States. So, it's what they
07:10 focus on because that's the uh the
07:13 highest likelihood when they reach out
07:14 to somebody that they will have a
07:15 Coinbase account as compared to any
07:17 other account. So, please buy yourself a
07:20 Bitkey for Labor Day weekend. Uh they
07:23 are $50 off, so it's only $99. Buy
07:26 yourself a Bitkey. It's $99. And if $99
07:30 is prohibitively expensive for you, I
07:33 will split it with you. If you send me a
07:35 message on Facebook Messenger that says,
07:37 "I bought a bit key and you know you
07:40 actually bought a bit key." You got to
07:42 actually do it. If you actually buy
07:43 yourself a Bitkey and use it, I will
07:46 send you 50 of those $99. I'll literally
07:48 pay for 51% of your Bit Key just as an
07:52 incentive for you to not get hacked and
07:54 scammed. So again, if cost is an issue,
07:57 I'll cover half of it. Um, you've got to
07:60 not get hacked and scammed. And getting
08:02 yourself a Bitkey is the only reliable,
08:05 foolproof way to not get hacked and
08:07 scammed with your Bit uh with your
08:10 Bitcoin. Please, everyone, please do
08:12 that. It's genius. It's brilliant. The
08:14 way this thing is designed is just like
08:15 the coolest invention in the world since
08:18 the invention of Bitcoin itself. It is
08:20 so easy to use. It's made for literally
08:23 anyone on the planet to be able to
08:25 self-custody their Bitcoin. That means
08:27 have it in their own possession where
08:29 it's not subject to hackers and scammers
08:32 and you're not going to get your account
08:33 frozen by Coinbase or any other
08:35 exchange. And if you've got your Bitcoin
08:37 on Bit, they just don't bother you
08:40 because, you know, no hacker or scammer
08:42 wants to try to convince you, you know,
08:45 to go get your Bitkey from a safe
08:46 deposit box at a bank and touch it to
08:48 the back of your phone. Like none of
08:50 their tricks for getting bit people to
08:52 compromise their accounts, none of them
08:54 work on Bitkey. Um, it's just brilliant
08:56 the way it's set up. So, uh, please,
08:59 please, please, please do that, uh, for
09:02 your own sake. And I will even cover
09:04 half the cost to you if you message me
09:05 about it. But again, as long as you
09:07 commit to actually, you know, buying
09:08 one, you know, as long as you've already
09:10 bought it and you commit to using it
09:11 when it comes in. Um, you don't have to
09:13 start by moving all your Bitcoin. Start
09:15 by moving $100 and then just see how you
09:17 feel. See how it works. Get comfortable
09:19 with it. Like, come on. Please, please,
09:22 please buy yourself a Bit Keith. Please,
09:24 you need to do this. It is important. Do
09:26 not be the next person to lose all your
09:28 Bitcoin because you didn't buy yourself
09:30 a Bitkey.
