Discovered some great new tunes. Would be awesome for @fountain to add a button to add the song currently playing to a playlist or favorites. Also Two Ways Home and James M Carson are two other great UK artists that have recently uploaded to the valueverse 🤘

This is becoming yet another favorite Bitcoin Podcasts. Just because Vitor mentioned Zap Stream. I think Bitcoin podcasters are sleeping on zap.stream and nostrnests.com You could perhaps talk to @npub14kw5ygpl6… about it, if you haven’t already. They host live podcast show on both clients and chats are merged together. Regards 🫡

'Orange people' are about to become the new 'colored people'. This reminds me of something I heard Russell Means say some years back: "Welcome to the Reservation, we are all Indians now."

Is this that Mandela effect? Seems like we all remember the Reagan assassination attempt as happening a couple years after he took office but Wikipedia says it happened 3/30/81 like two months into his presidency.

Sounded almost like he called her "former CAA officer." Probably some overlap with both agencies.

Every guy who comments on the video of the New Orleans terrorist's home mentioned the "reporter's" painted-on pants. Bubba's wheelwell LEDs are a distraction to fellow drivers but it's okay for chicks to walk down the street wearing these things 🤣

Skemmtilegt viðtal við Halldór og hvernig hann upplifir það mögulega frelsi sem Bitcoin getur veitt honum sem höfund og útgefanda á sinni bók, þrátt fyrir að vera ekki beint djúpt sokkinn inní Bitcoin kanínu holuna. Hefði allveg áhuga á að skoða þetta Mikilvæga Rusl 😉 Óransj Kveðja 🧡

Great rip. My plan next week is to livestream from the studio on nostr and send a zap.stream link to my non-nostr fans through my mailing list. I also want to onboard each person involved with the project to nostr, session musicians/ producer/ videographer and any sats that come in I'll split equally with everyone involved. I think it's best to set them up with @npub12vkcxr0lu… and get them to activate their wallet. What is the most used nostr signer to store private keys on iOS? #asknostr

@npub14mcddvsjs… 1:11 in to this episode you touch on how the music industry was changed by Napster and torrenting and how indie artists aren't making much from recorded music anymore. This is true. You've probably already heard that nostr and bitcoin are fixing this with platforms like @Fountain, @Wavlake, LNbeats and more. Feels like we're on the cusp of a massive change again in the music industry (for the better this time), in favor of the indie artist. The next couple of years are going to be exciting!

Awesome conversation with Calle. Ecash is very interesting concept. Agree also about there is not enough Bitcoin conversation on Nostr. Bitcoiners should use Nostr tech way more like Nostrnests and ZapStreams for Bitcoin conversations as it fulfill more the freedom ethology bitcoiners are trying to build here, and getting rid off those centralized control of the web and money. P.s. By who is that song in the end, and what is the name of it? Thanks 🙏

    Good episode and interesting talk about those copyrights. You talked about how Bitcoin Standard has been sold as paperback without knowing it, because someone else published those on Amazon. Would there be any difference if you would f.ex. publish Bitcoin Standard for free on a website where everyone who visit the site could read the book there. But someone else would then translate it to a different language, but host it on a different website? What if the author would also be mentioned and referred to the original website where the book is hosted at. Would that still count as a violation on copyrights?

    Great episode! Didn't know where I sat with these arguments of copyright from a creator's / artist's standpoint, but slowly coming round. Value for value compliments these ideas very well ⚡
