It's a video I never thought I'd have to make.
I need to apologize to everyone.
This week at the Bitcoin Conference,
they say I ruined the conference.
They say I made a mockery of the Bitcoin maxis.
And they tell you that I cussed out a lady.
I have to disappoint everyone.
I'm going to disappoint everyone tonight.
Because I need to tell you I'm sorry
that I'm not going to say sorry.
That's right.
Let me tell you,
these Bitcoin maximalists are so cringey.
They go to such extremes.
And you know what?
I'm tired of defending myself.
I'm tired of it.
I'm not going to do it anymore.
We'll see.
Listen.
The stuff that people make up about me is so unbelievably outrageous.
If you listen to what this lady said I did this week,
it's so far from the truth that it's unbelievable.
So, I guess, let me tell you guys what happened.
So the story is,
the story that you get is that I walked up to this very respected bitcoiner.
Stacy Herbert
No idea who this lady is.
But even though I had no idea who she was,
I walked right up to her,
and I cussed her out.
She said I called her the B word.
These Bitcoin maximalists are so entitled.
They're so used to getting their way
that everything that they do,
they think they can control.
Let me tell you what happened.
I was checking in at the Whale desk.
I turned around.
And I went.
And there was Max Keiser.
Let me tell you about Max Keiser.
First of all, he's literally insane.
Second of all, this guy talks so much smack on the internet
that it's unbelievable.
Let me tell you what I don't put up with.
You talk smack on the internet?
You say it to my face.
This guy blocked me years ago.
And then he said--
he talks about me.
He talks about anyone that--
this is the kind of guy he is.
If you lose money with altcoins,
he cheers. He's happy.
He wants you to lose money.
How many of you in this audience buy altcoins?
Almost all of you. I'm sure.
If watch this channel, probably almost all of you.
So I took my opportunity.
I walked right up to him.
I looked him right in the eyes.
I told him what I think about him.
And then he tried to shake my hand.
And I said, "Max, we're not friends."
At that point,
this lady,
apparently--
I guess, it's his wife.
I have no idea who she is.
She walks up out of nowhere.
She puts her face up in my face.
This is what she does.
And I swear to God this is a true story.
She goes,
looks me right in the eyes and says,
"Max, get away from this scammer!"
Turns around looks at security and says,
"Call the police! This is a scammer! Call the police!"
"He's assaulting me!"
I literally never said a word to her.
I didn't say one word to her.
Not one word.
I didn't say a single word to this lady.
She tries to make a huge show,
a spectacle in the middle of the entire conference.
Do you guys know what's happening?
Security literally is looking over her and laughing.
They're laughing.
They're, you know, trying to figure out what's going on.
So I walk up to security.
And this lady walks up to me, from security.
And she goes,
"What was her problem?
She's crazy.
By the way, can I get a wizard hat?"
So, of course, I handed her a wizard hat.
And, guys, if people--
and I promise you, there are so many people that meet me in real life at these conferences
and they go, "Oh, my gosh, you're not the person they say you are."
That's the truth.
The truth is people love to make up lies about me.
They love to make up stories about me.
They like to paint me as the villain. Why?
No. 1, because I shake stuff up.
No. 2, because I'm not scared.
And No. 3,
they create this villain narrative so anything they say bad that I do,
it just sticks.
It sticks.
Because people think that's the narrative.
They think that's who I am.
And it's shameful, honestly.
What this lady, Stacy Herbert, got away with is absolutely sickening.
She's clearly trying to kick me out.
And you know what happened?
I kept saying,
"Let's go talk to security.
Let's go talk to security.
Let's go talk to security."
And they refused to do it.
They refused to do it.
And so at the end of the day,
I did not get kicked out of the conference because I obviously didn't do anything.
Would you think if I did something, they would kick me out of conference?
Don't you think?
So long and short of it is,
I decided not to go to the conference yesterday anyways.
I was there on Saturday-- or Friday, excuse me.
We flew planes above the conference and above the beach.
Hopefully, you guys got to see some of that on Twitter.
But I'm done.
I'm done defending myself against these lies.
And I know there's a lot of people out there that want me to bow down
and say sorry for stuff I didn't do.
That's not who I am, guys.
That's not who I am.
So, I think at the end of the day,
we're going to try some different strategies
going forward.
We are--
with BEN coin,
deal should be officially finalized tomorrow.
Should be. We'll see.
We've still got to set up travel and stuff like that.
But with it being finalized,
it's time for us, as a channel, as a community, to move to a different place.
I know that people who watch this channel, I know you guys love me.
And I love you too.
And if you come see me in the conference,
I love taking pictures with you guys.
Love taking pictures.
Love talking to you.
If you ever see me, please make sure to come and do that
because we're a community and we're strong and we're going to prove to everybody,
we're going to prove to everybody that we are not a joke.
This, BEN coin is going to be my crowning achievement in crypto.
And I won't stop.
No one will get in the way of this.
This is going to be something that's going to be truly epic.
And, yeah, I'm not going to apologize.
So I apologize that I'm not going to apologize.
That's all I got.
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
