The Real Cost of Guarantees—and Where Bitcoin’s Promise Ends

Let's get this to #10 on the Fountain Hot Episode Charts... @npub1unmftuzmk… , have you listened yet?

Thanks for all the great feedback. I could talk to Luke all day... about anything.

"You trust Bitcoin, and she trusts you."

It was great to catch up with @npub1z9hy7a0n8… . Dude, I'm so lucky to have you in my life, and I look forward to coming on RRR more often... maybe next time we can talk about Antarctica? The moon landing? The Book of Enok?

What made you happy when you were a kid? Do those things as an adult.

Embrace God's challenges.

Is this the definitive "weed/leadership" #Bitcoin podcast? @npub1z9hy7a0n8… @npub17934d3gls… @npub1563z6kxmv… @npub153xmex42x… ❤️ J

I'm boosting for @npub1z9hy7a0n8… . He's the absolute best in the world at making thumbnails. He does ALL the editing and behind the scenes stuff. And he's paying for all the software. He's the absolute best.

I hope everyone enjoys this. We touched on some pretty heavy stuff for me. I heard back tears twice. @npub1z9hy7a0n8…

This was a great conversation. I hope everyone enjoys listening to it half as much as I did having it. Vires in Numeris

Another great episode. To all Canadian Bitcoin meetup organizers, Toine from 256Heat is trying to get in contact with the all the meetups from Windsor to Ottawa. He's hoping to do a tour, selling his newest home miner. Send me a DM for more information, or get in contact with Toine.

Thanks for having me on! It was a great conversation. I can't wait for the next time.

Thanks for having me on DJ. I hope people enjoy this positive bear market rip. Vires in Numeris

It was honor to talk to you guys about our crew up here in Ottawa. Meetups truely are the social layer to Bitcoin. Vires in Numeris

Does the bear market have you feeling off? The positive energy in this one is exactly what we all need these days. And it's always cool to get exposed to a new voice in Bitcoin. Great stuff, Paula!

For whatever reason, I was thoroughly entertained byvthe coffee maker talk...

First they came for Dennis, and I was silent. Now, they've come for Piez... Shit just got real, guys. #40HPW

Great stuff from @npub12eml5kmtr… & @npub1emdtsxly9… . Bear markets are the time for building, and I bet that 99.9% of Bitcoiners (me included) would benefit from building their knowledge of how the mathematics of #Bitcoin really work. The guys do a great job at making the content easy to follow (although I will have to listen to this one a second time). And check out "Magic Internet Math" on YouTube!

Great stuff guys. Honoured to know both of you. Vires in Numeris

Another great rip, gents. This fills a very important gap in the Bitcoin podcast space. Already a contender for 2026 Bitcoin Podcast of the year.

Top 3 RPB podcast of all time.

Great rip, guys. I like the idea of a rating system for Bitcoin podcasts, and I want to volunteer for building this out. A few newbie friendly podcasts are "This Week in Bitcoin" and "Bitcoin and...". High signal, but you don't need 40HPW to "get them". There's a funny talker on YouTube running a channel call "The Road to One Bitcoin" that's good for newbies, too. I was checking out your merch store for a "Podconf" tshirt, and I couldn't find any. I want to get one to rock at The Canadian Bitcoin Conference in October. Are they all sold out? Keep fighting the good fight. #40HPW

Put this towards Sly's PS5.

I really enjoyed this one. I've listened to quite a few Ioni interviews, and I think this one was my favourite. You guys just had a great chemistry. I listened to your interview with Erik Cason, too, and enjoyed it. Thanks for reaching out and letting me know about your show. There are so many Bitcoin podcasts out there that it's just impossible to keep up. But you're in my queue now, I'll try to listen to as many older episodes as I can, and I'm already looking forward to Eric V Stacks.

What's so special about listening to 40 hours of Bitcoin podcasts. At 1.75x, that's only 3 hours and 15 minutes a day. Those are rookie numbers. Enemy of the podconf state, Francis Pouliot, says that using leverage to trade bitcoin to build your stack isn't a shortcut to becoming a Bitcoin OG. But is listening to 80-100 hours of Bitcoin podcasts every week the REAL cheatcode (sorry Peter McCormack)? If Ive only been in Bitcoin for 3 years, but I've listened ti every episode of RHR, Rock Paper Bitcoin, and the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast, am i accelerating to OG status? How many Bitcoin podcasts do I need to listen to to get Adam Back to call me an OG? And why does Fountain (podconf approved?) have charts for podcasts, but not for podcast listeners?

Great to hear Sly's voice again. There's no other guest that you guys have better chemistry with.

The Saylor commentary at the end of the rip was great. Had me wanting more. Great show, as always.

Great interview. David is one of those guys who make the Canadian Bitcoin community special. He always has a smile on face, contributes a TONNE to the Montreal meetups, and is always out there orange pilling, but keeps a low profile online and isn't interested in being an "influencer". He's a real one, and someone I've looked up to on the space for a while. It was awesome to hear Joey speak with him.

It made my morning to open fountain and see that Talking in Bits is back.
