Show Notes

Using a Bitcoin lens, I'll explain why the housing market is propping inflation numbers up and why traditional "experts" can't explain it. Plus, a Bitcoin reality check, my thoughts on a town that claims to be getting sick from the local Bitcoin mine, a visit to noobie corner, and a lot more.

I’d love to hear some Bitcoin stats each episode. Also, yes, I’m stacking for retirement. Each paycheck I set aside some money for my brokerage, my IRA, and Bitcoin. I’m pretty sure I’ll regret not putting everything in Bitcoin in the future, but I currently sleep soundly at night.

In the spirit of listener participation, I’ve decided to take a drink with you at each mention of nix. It only seems fair as a show of support. Also a +1 for Fountain with Nostr and +1 for listening at 1.5x ! Cheers guys !

Thanks for the pointer to Coder Radio, I’ve added that one to my fountain stream and will boost there with details about my referral code exchange. Love what you guys are doing and love the V4V model!

Love the show, but the volume can be a bit quiet compared to all my other podcasts. Keep it up.

Maxis (myself included) need to stop idolizing saylor. I can definitely see a situation where he ends up being the bad guy if a fork comes. Remember his interests are to stay compliant no matter the cost.

Great podcast! Tomorrow is going to be an enormous day in the jobs market. I can’t believe these statisticians can gaslight the public on what the job numbers are, when we all know they are lying through their teeth! Keep speaking the truth, I love the podcast!

I hope everyone is safe and healthy! Remember, you didn't lose any good people over a week off or whatever was said last week. Things ebb and flow. Take care of yourselves and the community will help take care of the rest. I am looking forward to the next episode when you are both in good places and have the space to think about Coder!

Fountain + Nostr + BitcoinWell, some KYC issues and some nuance, but, the SATs are flowing now. To time off, health insurance, and many more episodes. It was lovely to meet you all in Toronto, and everyone else who was there! Team Toronto!

Hoping you guys might find our proposal of interest and maybe something you could share with our fellow listeners. https://blog.bitcryptic.com/blog/mdf-markdown-first Inspired by your recent discussion around agentic impact on web services.

To answer Chris’s question on our MDF proposal — same URL, agent sends Accept: text/markdown, gets clean markdown back. No scraping, no HTML parsing. Access policy is expressed through price — free content serves immediately, premium content triggers a Lightning invoice via L402. One sat to a hundred dollars, same mechanism. Reference server is a self-hostable Docker image. Price also gives content owners a natural lever for agent load — charge a sat instead of getting hammered for free. And serving clean markdown instead of HTML soup slashes the token count dramatically, which matters whether you’re Anthropic or running Ollama on your homelab.

I happened to see this episode come up in Fountain as ‘live’ so I started listening. I really tried guys but I just couldn’t do it. After listening to you all at 1.5x for the last few months, the live ‘real time’ experience sounded like you were all heavily sedated and not your usual selves 😂 So today I’ll listen and enjoy the 1.5x caffeine edition I’m used to. Keep up the great work 🙏🏼

Hi guys, just catching up on shows I’ve missed while I’ve been busy. Got me wondering- how do you go with accounting for your ‘after the event’ earnings from streaming and boosts? I’m always interested to hear your summaries of how much you’re generating as I love the V4V model. Presumably what you mention each show is what you see live but do you keep track of what comes in later and add that to the subsequent live totals or is it just too hard to deal with?

I’m loving the JB collection of shows, great work guys! Your comments around small language models and domain expertise got me thinking. I’ve been mulling over an idea recently about a way to capture all the things I’ve learned over the years. Perhaps a personal LM seeded with experiences and linked to sat streaming to monetise ?🤔 Essentially take the traditional ‘learn skills and get paid to use them’ model and do it in the V4V way without the middleman…

So, my first computer was a Z80 processor based kit that I hand soldered. It had 2KB of RAM, 6 x 7 segment LED displays and a hex input keypad for programming. Its usability was err ‘limited’ - but the educational aspect was amazing.

On the challenge of typo squatting and software repo’s - it feels like this is something we could solve or at least improve with key pairs or passkeys or something? First time you use a repo, get prompted to establish a co-signing relationship. Each time you come back a handshake takes place. If everything matches you silently get the code you’re requesting. No match triggers an error flow with warnings and no download etc 🤔

    This Week in Bitcoin has become one of the main podcasts I never miss. Chris is also a podcasting OG, so if you like Linux then I’d recommend checking out some of the other Jupiter Broadcasting shows.

    My vote is to keep including the FUD busting. Equally, call out organizations in the Bitcoin ecosystem that are doing the wrong thing. They don’t help the cause and in some cases they just need guidance rather than them deliberately doing wrong.

    Honestly, marathon should have moved to an industrial district and away from other homes. I’m not defending the people, but in the end when they bought the property they didn’t do so thinking a loud mine would move next to them
