In this episode of The Bitcoin Business Podcast, Brandon Karpeles talks with Patrick, founder of GreatGhee.com, a Bitcoin-native business making high-quality ghee directly from local farms in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.

I wonder how long the feedback loop will be to determine the consequences of more node runners taking the configuration of their nodes into greater consideration. Seems like it could take a while before hindsight becomes 2020.

The conviction of the pioneer is not so easily shaken. Most issues around Bitcoin are laughably inconsiquential to those building on the frontier. The further one separates from fiat the more free they will be.

@npub15xpxktz4j7amjdz69nrft2jg934pufk0d8klnvw8mwgq2ntf983q3p6555 (Agent P) has been at the cutting edge for a long time. He's taught me so much about mining. Grid Pool is an exciting example of how things can be done differently and offer solutions. I'm paying close attention, it's never been more valuable to participate in Bitcoin mining, it's not just about kyc free sats. It's about the revolution, the chance to be apart of unleashing freedom to the world.

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.
