NOTHING STOPS THIS TRAIN: FISCAL DOMINANCE & BITCOIN | Lyn Alden & Sam Callahan (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

2026 prediction: in 2025 Mike Brock was only teetering. 2026 will bring his real crash out.

Quantum is a fake and gay VC scam until it can factor a random three digit integer. Until then my young kids are smarter.

Really appreciate this very candid discussion. Just the encouragement I needed to keep up the momentum and move forward. It is hard work moonlighting as a Nostr dev! It is great to hear Jack sees real value in making it the neutral foundation in which many different things can and should be built.

Ross is free! 🫡🫡

Continued love from the Seattle crew

Great rip!! 🫡👍🏻

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

Great vibes

Whether people love them or not, super bullish to see tradFI products come to bitcoiners

You definitely can verify your seed words on a Ledger. You download a specific app from Ledger Live and that allows you to verify your backup.

Ordered more soap, love it. Enjoy having both cedarwood soap and deodorant.

What is the use case for Arca versus an Umbrel? Umbrel for picture and non sensitive storage and Arca can save highly sensitive items like passwords or seeds?

I worked for a year at a PE roll up of wood related business (wood pellets, chips, sawmills) AMA.

easy for Bitkey to not show seeds by default, but allow you to access them behind a scary advanced user don’t give this to anyone for any reason warning. Just refusing to provide any seed access at all is disappointing.

Surge Credit is awesome and strictly superior to terrible lying Lava

Stop pushing lava it is a scam,

BIP 361 is theft. Any incoherent equivocation to the contrary should be ridiculed. I’m fine with a new optional address format WITHOUT theft.

With love to the lady from MIT, this is the most brain dead quantum take possible. There are so many quantum mitigation schemes and papers coming out that you cannot even realistically keep up. Saying that no one cares, no one is working on it, or not enough resources are devoted is absolutely insane. If anything I’d argue too many resources are devoted to a threat that has never demonstrated any physical scaling and is objectively dumber at math than a fifth grader.
