Recently reread the Celestine Prophecy, the references to Iran, to money debasement, to the power of truth. It’s a lot of connections to our time for a 40 ish year old book.
Bitcoin, Gold and Silver Are ALL Crashing — Here's Why I'm Not Selling! | Truth Block

Chapters
Show Notes
Inflation is rising again, the Fed may be forced back into hikes, gold and silver are already breaking down, and Bitcoin is being dragged into the same hard-money bear market. But the deeper question is not whether the debasement trade is dead — it’s whether your Bitcoin conviction was ever rooted in price, capital flows, or something far more permanent. In this episode, Hurley breaks down inflation, the Fed, Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin strategy debate, paper Bitcoin, self-custody, moral money, and why Bitcoin still matters for freedom, stewardship, and humanity.

2.1k Hello, fanboying here a bit, also think you were the first podcast we to read one of my comments into the consciousness of…anyone. :) as to your 100th episode question. Have you ever thought of an audience shift? I listened to Lyn Alden on Peter Mackormack’s show this week and her message was beautifully adjusted to his new audience. If you wanted to get your message out to another group, like Peter has, who would be your target audience?

500 Great episode! Up here in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada we have an active farmers market culture with a strong cash is king culture. I’m wondering if anyone listening here is from my area and would like to help to orange pill these folks? Also the idea of insisting on denominating in Sats; I lived in Mexico for two months once and by the end of that short time I had started to think in Pesos. It doesn’t take long. Cheers

500 As an educator AI is a tool to first draft output like report card comments, email responses, lessons plans, and unit planning. Essentially it has increased my productivity, reducing my hours, allowing me to spend more time on human interactions with my students and colleagues. Same result as when I started using online testing tools and translation software (second language teacher) as they became more effective over the last 2 decades.

500 As a teacher AI is a tool to draft my lesson plans, report card comments, and emails. I have ideas around using it for assessment that I have not tested yet. So my hours of work have been reduced, the quality of my Productions has increased, and my pay has remained unchanged.

2.1k 2 points: Humans fail not gold -Peter Schiff (Exactly-therefore a trustless system takes humans out of the equation for the win and its Bitcoin) And « If I owned all the bitcoin it would be worth nothing; if I owned all the gold I’d be rich » again Peter…would you? If one person owned all the gold I don’t know that I’d want any, anymore, am I missing something here?

2.1k This reminds me of the first book I read on blockchains « The Truth Machine ». Always building your reputation, still as anonymous as you choose, and your reputation still has value. Way down the line, but could you imagine a « sorry » button? And a « forgiven » button? Seems people either say nothing for fear of becoming a meme, or hide behind burner accounts, and have no guard rails. Wouldn’t it be nice to feel you could fuck up and make amends?

2.1k This is the second or third podcast I’ve heard Saif share this theory and the more I struggle with it the more it is influencing my thinking. This was a sad hard fork. How do we avoid them in the future?

1k Genuinely enjoying this space, so different than “number go up” 24/7, thank you for that. Question, is there any folklore around the 21 million number? Why did Satoshi decide on 21? Many thanks.

1k This was one of my two favourites podcasts recently. For the same reason. Both guests, Simon Dixon here and Lyn Alden on Peter McCormack’s show, were outside of their usual comfort zone, and did great jobs framing things for the audience. It got me thinking how we need to meet people where they are. Cheers

500 Help me understand, maybe I missed it. Strategy is selling bitcoin it bought at the all time high and harvesting capital gains losses which they plan to take that return to then buy more bitcoin. I don’t know the calculation, and it seems like not doing so would be like leaving money on the table.
