Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Quantum reminds me of that scene from Batman Begins. The crime boss tells Bruce Wayne "You always fear what you don't understand."

Hey Chris. This is when your show is most important, when things are tough. This is my first bear market, didn't think it would feel this intense. Any advice for us from your experience with your first bear markets?

Great couple shows, I especially thought the one before this was your best ever show! Great length, great content.

Just got back from Las Vegas. Lots of conventions, everything was busy. No one was complaining about prices or the economy...unless you talk to the people driving cab, cleaning your room, serving tables. Different story from them.

Excited for the conversation that took place on sessions recently; Simon Dixon vs. Jeff Booth. Excellent signal, I am always confused why Simon does not get more exposure. I would like to see him on Citadel & TFTC. It was a welcome white pill, a masterclass from Jeff. We are winning. Marty, can u get Doomberg on TFTC?

Keep it up Chris. I also skipped the episode you did when you strayed from the normal show structure. Take it as a compliment. Love the show, hope it continues. This Bitcoin thing is just getting started.

Chris, you think the cleanspark story is something, check out IREN & CIFR. I don't think we have seen anything yet, there just isn't enough power to go around short term.

One podcast too late on that Las Vegas hat. Jack Mallars, seems to be a great guy. Unfortunately, I find he simplifies his message on purpose to keep it succinct. Makes sense for his audience, but if I were having a beer with him it would be nice to get the inside scoop on his biggest partner, The Big Gold buyer, Tether.

Saylor - go along to get along. You'll remember he stopped talking about "no second best" after other crypto was no longer securities. Before then essentially he said it was illegal. If he can't sell bitcoin, it's encumbered. The SEC needs it to be a liquid asset to ensure consumer protection.

Thanks for the BIP110 rundown. It's funny, the Bankless guys are responsible for me selling all my ETH and going Bitcoin only. I was trying to understand the "industry", and their promotions of garbage taught me a valuable lesson.

Yes! Cedric, this was my favorite episode so far.

Our buddy Andrew knows all about bitcoin. He's the heel, and Joe is the babyface for our wrestling fans out there. A video on Primal and zap.stream, youtube and rumble would be great!

I watch every single Macro Monday and McRetard is 100% paid to say what he says. I can't even put in words how smart I think he is, and how intentional his spin is.

Coldcard...industry leader

We are social creatures. An election cycle makes a ton of sense. Vibes...

Just a hunch, BIP110 will be a nothing burger.

Simply Sessions guys are great. It was the Doomberg clip, the green chicken. That guy is very smart, good substack subscription.

"These aren't the droids you're looking for". New gaslighting sound clip?

I have heard many that know Saylor personally guess he is far more of a revolutionary than he appears, and his message is just carefully curated for the powers that be, and I agree.

Great episode! Great boost episode! What is all this noise around bip110.

Grab a Bitaxe Chris. Cool little art peice for the desk.

"There's kids listening!" Yeah, 40 to 60 year old kids. 🤣

Running knots

You mentioned something about Luke and Lopp and knots. What did I miss, was that on the podcast?

Our buddy Luke Groman did a interesting interview with Joe Burnett. He equated bitcoin scarcity with the scarcity of his lakehouse property, he paid off his mortgage with the sale proceeds. Overall, he sounded defensive. He certainly went over and above to explain away his bitcoin sale.

2 opinions: 1. Natalie is an excellent communicater, meet ppl where they are at and educate by steering the conversation. 2. If ppl are baffled by captured media pretending to not understand Bitcoin, this will continue while they attempt to slow adoption for their donors. Great show!

Marty, please get Lyn on to discuss these talking points. Or Doomberg

"Just close the fucking door." God we live in an amazing time.

Wow. Big Strike news!!
