The History of Money, Austrian Econ, and Bitcoin's Privacy & Scalability w/ Max Hillebrand (JWP32)

Haven‘t been listening much recently due to travels but trying to catch up now. Good to hear you‘re going strong in spite of market conditions & keeping the torch burning. High time to boost you again ;-)

Thank you to @npub14mcddvsjs… for another excellent interview! As a longtime anglophile I‘m listening to almost every one of your episodes and this one stands out in particular because it lays out some clear tactical steps to be taken in British politics to get the UK back on track to once again become a great & prosperous country. Not all‘s gold in Switzerland, btw., but I do strongly believe (as apparently does Phil, too) that the Swiss political model has many advantages in its favour and few downsides. And I would even go as far as rephrasing Sir Winston‘s quotation that „the Swiss political system is the worst on the planet with the exception of all others that have already been tried.“ Keep up the good work & consider running for public office in your town to be able to implement changes yourself. Small steps matter & everyone with good ideas should contribute to the change needed! That‘s also one of the basics in the Swiss political system 😉

Thank you to @npub1jlrs53pkd… for this insightful interview with @utxo_the_webmaster_🧑‍💻 @npub1utx00neqg… ! Gave me a nice overview of the many challenges regarding relays, algorithms, and clients as well as an outlook on things to come. Looking forward to the further development of your ideas & thank you for your continued work. Greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

Thank you sir! CAF is unworthy of civilized society. Any thoughts on whether this is constitutional at all?

Thanks for another insightful & informative episode! Good luck with staying dry & ditching vaping! I‘m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 As for nicotine, it‘s not addictive according to my knowledge — what‘s addictive is the myriad of other components mixed into cigarette tobacco and vaping fluids. Nicotine even helps blocking spike proteins from docking to cells. So your nicotine patches will have a doubly positive effect! I‘m looking forward to meeting your new self on the other side…

Thanks mate & keep up the good work!

Thank you for another insightful episode, which gets me, too, thinking about life in a rural community. Amish, Mormons, they all focus more on family as wealth — and I guess we all could profit by taking a step back from our rat race & ask ourselves what we really cherish is life. Someday we‘ll meet to discuss these topics on the other side!

Thanks again for abother insightful & entertaining episode! @progressivelyworse is right in stating that Cathedral deserves more love! Regarding the BTC payments to the Iranian maritime insurance company, I‘d be wary of the WMD tactic… just saying! Keep up the good work & I‘ll see you on the other side mate!

Thanks again my fren! Regarding Orange Juice: I would focus more on the acquisition of American companies whose owners want to retire. There are a ton of businesses owned by baby boomers that want to retire in the next couple of years. The question is, are there enough entrepreneurs interested in taking them over? CU on the other side!

Thanks for another insightful episode @npub1vwymuey3u… ! Time to bury BIP-110 but keeping the intentions in the back of our heads, since they indeed have a point.

Great & very inspiring interview of Josh Hendrickson by @npub1pdrtre6d5… ! Required listening for everyone remotely interested in US politics, economics, and bitcoin. Loved the juxtaposition of Investment Biker and Boris Jelzin.

Thank you for another very insightful episode! Great tech developments & very pertinent arguments easily explained so anyone can understand what’s at stake. Kudos to your work & keep it up!

Thanks my fren 🙏🏼

Thank you for another nice situation overview my fren. Your take on the Urea fertilizer bottleneck and that it‘s pissing people off is apt in a unique way: urea is one of the main ingredients of urine! So instead of being pissed, all these ppl should just collect their urine & use it as fertilizer for their crops as well as themselves, but that‘s for another day when I see you on the other side…

Thanks to @npub1cj8znuztf… for this nice interview of @npub1r6xc8z27u… . Taking back education & fostering (or even reinstating) multi-generational dialogue is extremely important today if we want to survive as social species. Keep up the good work, both of you, and keep spreading the word!

Thx for another insightful & educational episode. Sad to hear about your friend’s passing! Sounds like she really was one of a kind & a kindred spirit. Dr John Donne once wrote that when a person dies, her page in the book of life isn’t ripped out but rather translated into a better language. May she rest in peace & may her memory be a blessing 🙏🏼

Coffee pairs extremely well with maths ☕️🖖🏻 Thanks for sharing this conversation! Looking forward to the next installments 🚀

Thank you to @npub1cj8znuztf… for a great, inspiring & entertaining interview with @npub1hk0tv47zt… ! Your podcast episodes are always worth the time & I highly recommend listening to them on a regular basis to anyone interested in #Bitcoin & its ecosystem. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for another insightful episode! Love the combination of news & your own personal takes on the topics. Keep up the good work! Stay safe & I‘ll see you on the other side brother

Thank you for the reading of these very pertinent & timely articles!

Thx for another insightful & entertaining episode! It‘s always astounding to see that people don’t learn from history. And with Germany, it‘s all in plain sight… but whatever — have a nice weekend & I‘ll see you on the other side!

Happy 2026 & welcome back! Thanks for getting us all the news we can use incl. your personal takes on the topics this year as well. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes already. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for another episode & have a splendid Christmas break!

Thanks for another great overview of current news. Take your time & spend some amazing days off-grid with your family my fren. Wishing you a relaxing festive season as well as a great start into the new year! We‘ll all see you on the other side…

Thanks for another great episode! Love the way you present the news mixed with your own take on the subjects. And I appreciate the occasional rant as well. Keep up the good work — and keep enjoying chocolate (as do I)! See you on the other side mate…

Thx for another episode. Love your rant on #Carbon! It really needs to be said much more often. We‘re really doing ourselves a major disservice by focussing on only the downsides of carbon — the upsides by far outweigh them. But it seems to me that the powers that be profit more from climate emergency talk than from working on solutions for humanity… but don’t get me started! I‘ll see you on the other side!

Very interesting & insightful interview of @npub1cj8znuztf… with Angela McArdle on #libertarianism, the #MisesCaucus, #freeross, the #freesamurai case, and playing kingmaker on the national level. Kudos to Angela‘s dedicated & inexhaustible work!

Cheers! Have a great weekend & looking forward to seeing you on the other side.

Thanks again for another insightful episode! Tokenization is much bigger a topic than generally understood. If David Rogers Webb is correct, it will fundamentally change property rights and by this transform society globally. Keep watching this issue! If I may suggest, maybe you could do a special episode on this. And keep up your good work, which is always greatly appreciated! I‘m still looking forward to your next #Cathedral episode. Till then, I will always hear you on the other side.

Thanks for another worthwhile episode, bringing us all the news we can use incl. the Circle P! When it comes to a remedy for decoupling from the broken system and healing, there’s currently nothing better than Bitcoin IMHO. But we’ll see where all this is going! I certainly hope I’ll be able to invite you for a beer someday & hear your take on this topic. Until then, I‘ll always see you (or more precisely listen to you) on the other side!
