 Super interesting! 
 Yes and we’d like to keep it that way, thank you very much! 
 Have you got room for 2 more?

Will bring own toothbrush.

Please, pretty please 🙏  
 Depends. Do you snore?

 The expression on the dogs face. 😳 Priceless🤣 
 😂  
 Where did u find that dog meme. I've saved it. 
Mike, aren't you the Mike that watches UK Bitcoin Master? I'm sure I've seen you on live shows. 
 I found it via a random meme google, you're welcome to steal my stolen meme.

Nope, not me, I've never appeared on a podcast. 
 Cheers, love how the dogs eyes are wide open, with omg expression.
Ahh, it must be another Mike. Cool. 😎  
 Yeh, I giggled when I saw that dog 😂  
 Good luck with that...😜😂 
 Yea turns out we’re like a cone 🍦 
 Eventually, i would expect everybody will settle to the bottom like a snow globe😆 
 And did you know 50% of the world is in the northern hemisphere? 
 Ha!😜

I guess that means the world is top-heavy?🤔🧐🤣😂👀❔ 
 IDK, I heard something similar said about Arrakis and you see what happened in Dune Part 2... 
 I like being in the minority. 
 How much of the habitable land mass is in the northern hemisphere? 
 Best part, less humans. Great 
 Since moving to Australia, I love that I can drive an hour or so outside any major city and pretty much be away from people lol  
 I've always wanted to live in Australia, reaction to covid really put me off. It almost feels like it was deliberate, like Australia was picked just to see how far they could push the masses. 
 Australian digital IDs coming this December 
 Krikey, that sounds scary. What happens if you don't get digital id. I suppose it means u won't be able to participate in every day things, banking, id check, driving, leave the country, and more. Similar to people don't get passport, aren't allowed to travel abroad etc. I'm in the UK, so that means next couple of years for us something similar will be coming. 
 @stacksatsio has a lot of info and regular updates about the digital ID development 
 Thanks, stacksats.io looks good. Cheers. 👍 
 Supposedly, it's optional. But we'll see.  
 fwiw Sweden has had digital ID for 20 years.

Much depends on how it's implemented. For example, private alternatives are allowed/accepted and banks must allow anyone to open account. 
 Sounds like its ok in Sweden for now. But all it takes is one country to overstep the mark and use it as a way to suppress, take away basic rights  then suddenly every other country follows, even Sweden will join the trend. 
Did you know that because Italy locked down in 2020, suddenly it gave permission for all other countries to do the same. (You can't include China, because China perceived as against human rights, extreme suppression etc.) Italy was the first country in west to open the idea that lead to the world getting locked down. Same will apply to digital id. It will just take one respectable western country and every other country will race to join.
I'm really suspicious of the powers digit id gives government. 
If bitcoin could surpass gold Market cap quick, then I think we should have a chance 🤞 
 Good excuse to learn spanish, Latin America covered. Buena onda. 😎 
 All the bitcoiners should go their 
 Yeh, that's only 200M people, not too many at all right now.
