LIVE: Bitcoin Dip, MSTR Purchase, Q/A with Jack Mallers

. Halfway through this show Overflowing with ideas Thank you to the guests! . #V4V #learningbydoing

Saturday morning catching up with ideas from many inspiring individuals. Inquiring minds want to know. Learning by doing always in full effect with this group. Go podcasting!

I honestly believe that JP Morgan is still spouting the same FUD so that they can eventually offer a Bitcoin based alternative, probably on their internal blockchain that will operate like a centralized L2, that solves the issues he complains about. It’ll be “faster, cheaper, and won’t allow the criminals!”

Shout out lnbeats.com! Great recommendation for V4V music.

Haven’t boosted in a while so here’s some to help with the lack of an episode next week.

Great afternoon update today

Always love seeing a new This Week in Bitcoin in my feed. #Bitcoin #podcasts

Once again this is an exceptional recap of the past week.

Curious to your thoughts on the new @npub1ex7mdykw7… bill pay feature and how it might compare to your Fold experience.

Enthusiastic boost on the Wavlake mention. Loading up these decades of electronic projects and releases there. https://wavlake.com/paul-birken

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!

Egg-cellent start to episode!! Need to reach out for a shirt if still available too.

Shout out Joe dropping the V4V history hops.

Boosting right off the bat. Will be sharing this educational show with more music friends who still haven't dipped their toes in.

This second episode is required listening. Incredible education here.

Great to get these updates from Oscar at Fountain. Still playing with how my RSS hosted music under "Tonewrecker Tracks" functions differently from what is under "Paul Birken" on Wavlake.

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.

Out on the trail getting additional V4V education before the workday begins.

. Weekend episode Slinging some Saturday sats Staying up to date .

So much building going on. Respect!

Spreading the signal that will bring more musicians and other creators into this V4V space. The future is bright with possibilities!

Always great to hear Sam go deep speaking about possibilities in this #V4V space with music and art. Optimistic future!

Been out of the loop.. playing catch up. Thanks for your ongoing efforts.

. Boosting for the ants Spreading awareness abroad Slinging satoshis .

. New episode night Appreciate this effort Gathering the news .

Diving in to this episode .. "nowwwwwww..."

I’ve been following Bitcoin since 2013, and while I empathize with the current debate around OP_RETURN, I do wish there was more of a focus on solutions to a specific problem. I’ve never been a huge fan of the idea of the lightning network being the be all end all solution for scaling, and the Bitcoin community could benefit from all the research from other ecosystems. I currently think a decentralized, trust minimized, censorship resistant rollup style “layer 2” would be great for Bitcoin, and I hope the community starts working backwards from the end goal to find the optimal solution for this kind of technology. This is how the forks that allowed the lightning network to operate were accomplished, so I’m sure we can do the same once again. As always, love the show!

I’ve got a Fold question for you. I got the impression that you mainly use Fold for bill pay and it got me interested so I set it up and started my Fold+ trial. It took me a while to realize though that you only get rewards for bill pay up until the dollar amount you spent on your Fold card or Bitcoin purchases. Do you also put a certain amount on your Fold card so you can get the bill pay rewards or am I missing something? Thanks for the always amazing show, it’s the only one I have to slow down below 2x so I can really enjoy it.

Happy New Year! Appreciate the predictions.

Diving into a new episode tonight.

Great to kick off the new year with a new episode to catch up with.

Ark’s first implementation with Arkade has launched and I would love to see you cover this kind of thing. Bitcoin scaling seems to be entering a new era, and your unbiased opinion would be highly valued!

One of the main things keeping me from switching fully to @npub1v5ufyh4lk… is the lack of desktop or web support. I’m not going to pretend that adding a new platform to support would be easy, but so many other podcast apps have a desktop equivalent and the lack of one messes with my existing flow. I still want to support the app though and continue to boost through it.

Wanted to give you another resource to get some info on Spark. Instead of issuing a separate BTC-based coin, the whole system is built on pre-signed exit transactions that get updated for every Spark transaction. This allows users to unilaterally exit from the base chain at any time. I know you consume a lot of content though, so no worries if you can’t get to it, but I do truly believe this might be one of the best scaling solutions that stays true to the Bitcoin ethos. https://fountain.fm/episode/6XPKBxI5LGT17oqww3mN
