721 This year at Lake Satoshi, I think it's safe to say, the meshtadel truly went from concept to reality. From here on out, it's now about building it and making it stronger. I'm looking forward to more Bitcoiners joining us.

1.1k Calling all local Bitcoiners, you can pick up Otis Bitmeyer coffee direct at meetups in the Michigan meshtadel network! Come hang with me at The South Bend Indiana Bitcoin Meetup, the first Thursday every month at Lang Lab, 630pm. Learn something, earn something, share something, buy something, build relationships and resilience with local Bitcoiners.

121 After several years of continuing to reduce my participation in the fiat system, those who have stuck with me have given up on trying to drag me back into the system. They still don't really understand what the ideals I'm striving for though.

721 Extraction creates disconnection, unification is love, consensus governance is unification, Bitcoin is loving. To stop participating in extraction and to more deeply participate in unification, is how Bitcoin fixes this.

420 Pure signal! @npub160t5zfxal… is an inspiration. I don't think there is an aspect of Bitcoin that Gary isn't involved in. Talks like these are what keeps be bullish as can be. #40hpw

121 Don't download apps at conferences is good advice. Plenty other discussion worth listening to in here as well. I really like @npub12qz56plze… perspective in general. His show is where I go to learn from the shitcoiners. Very good entropy in the #40hpw. #valuechain

2.1k Year of the firehorse, all y'all out there don't forget it! It's always a cool vibe in the bowl, constructive. Crashing out is not a bowl kind of vibe and I like that. Tried to boost from the @npub1cvcgs83gw… npub via boostmebitch.com but didn't quite get there, will try again! Looking forward to what you might find in the PO box too!

2k I agree completely that this idea of "fix the money, fix the world" has to begin from the individual. "Fix the money, fix the world" is a meme, a nugget of cultural capital. Fix the money, fix the world is simply an ideal not a formula. And by sharing this meme, Fix the Money, Fix the World, it's a short, compact way of communicating that ideal. It's a way for Bitcoiners to come into alignment culturally that Bitcoin will be used for the benefit of all.

1.3k @npub1yvscx9vrm… took the time to give @npub1cvcgs83gw… feedback about how we're incorporating #v4v into the podcast. We are learning so much from you and your years of experience. Jump to the local Bitcoiners time stamp to hear what he has to say and learn all about the philosophy of value for value.

1.1k I miss an episode and it's the one you guys give a massive shout out to @npub1cvcgs83gw… ! This is the #valuechain, high velocity exchange builds capital, especially if that exchange causes a chain reaction of capital to propagate. Not just financial capital (btc) but also intellectual, experiencial, social, cultural, spiritual, ect. This is how the world we want to live in gets built by participation and cooperation, big or small. The key right now is velocity in my opinion.

1.1k This entire podcast is loaded with valuable takeaways. Worth listening to twice. So damn good! Personally I resonated with the discussion on producing high quality consumable products that can't be recreated because nature is intimately involved. I feel the same way about breeding and growing cannabis.
