I’d love to hear some Bitcoin stats each episode. Also, yes, I’m stacking for retirement. Each paycheck I set aside some money for my brokerage, my IRA, and Bitcoin. I’m pretty sure I’ll regret not putting everything in Bitcoin in the future, but I currently sleep soundly at night.

If 2222 is a row of ducks, then I think this is an "all wheel drive" aka a 4x4. For stats: I like the idea of you tagging your podcasts with the blockheight. Maybe also include the last 4-6 digits of the block hash as a way timestamp your episode to the timechain. Honestly though I don't know what tangible benefit this provides other than being kinda cool. Is Bitcoin part of my retirement plan? Of course! Saving money is part of my retirement plan. Why wouldn't that include an undebasable money?

It's really cool cracking open an old journal and remembering the person who you once were compared to the person you are today. With some amount of effort you can envoke that former person but now with wisdom you've gained. Quality conversation guys.

'Orange people' are about to become the new 'colored people'. This reminds me of something I heard Russell Means say some years back: "Welcome to the Reservation, we are all Indians now."

Is this that Mandela effect? Seems like we all remember the Reagan assassination attempt as happening a couple years after he took office but Wikipedia says it happened 3/30/81 like two months into his presidency.

Sounded almost like he called her "former CAA officer." Probably some overlap with both agencies.

Every guy who comments on the video of the New Orleans terrorist's home mentioned the "reporter's" painted-on pants. Bubba's wheelwell LEDs are a distraction to fellow drivers but it's okay for chicks to walk down the street wearing these things 🤣

No update this week about your ongoing mempool bet, but I made a track under a side project "Alfred Integer" with you both sampled in it to mark the occasion this past year on Wavlake. https://wavlake.com/track/f9da5ecb-57b3-4836-92a4-1b2442a2b… Stay humble and stack sats!

This is bananas! WTF! Seems like the ranchers and lawyers should be heading down the $ path and hitting where it hurts - the politicians. Play their game. But, ugh, this sucks and it’s a small niche story that has universal ramifications

Always great to catch a new episode and get the inside scoop on what's happening next. Boosting here as a brainstorm reminder to follow up with you guys about creating a "back catalog bounty" to encourage new listeners to explore an artists existing catalog of music.

I happen to know quite a bit about protecting the grid from solar flares and I was closely monitoring the event in May. I hate to be that guy but your guest is missed a lot things concerning the electrical grid. After the Quebec blackout in 1989 grid operators have greatly improved their ability monitor and mitigate geomagnetic disturbances. Once a flare is detected, grid operators have like 6-10 hours to prepare for the plasma to hit us so they have time to disconnect / protect vulnetable equipment. If a really, really bad one hits us, power restoration will be on the order of days, not months or years, sorry!
