Split test

Zap!

The KAT came back! But what can we call the Embiid hate segment?

Now I know why @k00b looked so zen when I met him.

Great episode. I shall aim to always feel as young as Chris thinks I am. A quick note on the ethereum thing. I would be cautious buying into the tokenization narrative to any significant degree. There are a few tests running on ethereum and a lot of stablecoins use ethereum but most large entities building in the space are planning to use their own private rails.

49ers are looking at all options including relocating their practice facility.

Are you sure you were watching teenage girls basketball and not the Houston Rockets?

Predyx is way more fun because it uses Bitcoin but it doesn’t have the liquidity and volume you would need. Yet. Probably a lot more mispricings vs Polymarket or Kalshi though.

Polymarket is part of the crypto cabal. Highly unlikely they would park cash with MSTR.

49ers aren’t taking anything less than a top 50 pick for Mac Jones. They have him under contract on a cheap deal for next season and will get a 3rd or 4th round comp pick when he leaves as a FA. No point in trading him unless the offer is too good to refuse.

It’s fixed! NFL wants Chiefs vs Eagles rematch so they can sell the Mahomes revenge narrative!

49ers signed Luke Farrell to be a blocking tight end to free up Kittle more in the pass game. He will get a lot of targets early in the season. Engram might end up with more targets but will have less catches, yards and TDs.

I really enjoyed this read and your commentary afterwards. I've been thinking a lot recently about the binary political system here in the US and the perverse incentives it promotes. Our political system incentivizes polarity and division at its core. The only way to build your following as a party is to demonize the other, and embrace the far fringes on your political side as this is far easier than actually attempting to reach across the proverbial or literal aisle. It is as though at the core of our society there is a pervasive and powerful force of division that splits us apart from each other. Like gravity pulls all things towards centers of mass over time, this force drives us apart with time. And the worst part, our systems can't seem to overcome this internal force. We can only unite when an outside force drives us to realize that we have more in common than we have apart. It could be war, economic peril, disease, or natural disaster, but some powerful external force is always needed to pull us from the event horizon of what divides us. While I have no concrete thoughts yet on how we fix this yet, it's something that's been on my mind. Bitcoin gives me hope as a system that exists outside our political divisions, offering the same hope of individual monetary sovereignty to all who would embrace it. I don't know what the future holds, I belive things get worse before they improve, but I have hope.

Gone to the dogs.

Leafs suck! I blame all of Canada’s cup woes on the terrible Leafs!

Is it possible to have a spinoff show of just KAT corner? It’s the only reason I tune in.

One of these days we are going to get it down to an hour.

2nd time listening while out for a #CYCLESTR npub1vygzr642y6f8gxcjx6auaf2vd25lyzarpjkwx9kr4y752zy6058s8jvy4e @npub1d3f4m9dgv… never disappoints.

LFG! It's Derek!

First time listener. Business Cat, I followed you for years on Twitter until I deleted my account and went nostr-only. Happy to see (hear) you again! Followed you, the show, and Fundamentals on nostr. Can't wait for the next episode! Love the casual conversational style of this! Woof!

Let’s make year 2 even better than year 1!
