The Study guide: https://ecc-study-guide.magicinternetmath.com/guide.pdf In this episode, I (Brian) finally introduce myself properly and Rob and I kick off with a Vegas + Bitcoin++ recap before diving back into Chapter 6 of our elliptic curve study guide. We talk small, dev‑focused conferences versus mega‑cons, the Hoover Dam power-plant tour, and the standout conversations around quantum risk, BitVM, and Binohash. We also share plans to bring a math‑track BitDevs to Philly and to run a hands‑on Codex32 workshop soon. Then we slow things down to the math. Using the curve over the real...

721 This year at Lake Satoshi, I think it's safe to say, the meshtadel truly went from concept to reality. From here on out, it's now about building it and making it stronger. I'm looking forward to more Bitcoiners joining us.

211 @npub1emdtsxly9… dealt the death blow in my maxi madness matchup against Jack Dorsey. I held the lead for the majority of the round but burned all my social capital early on leaving me vulnerable to Robs maxi boost of 21k. I had fun and according to @npub1s4t5da3x5… the true winners are the ones having the most fun so take that giggler.

121 After several years of continuing to reduce my participation in the fiat system, those who have stuck with me have given up on trying to drag me back into the system. They still don't really understand what the ideals I'm striving for though.

721 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.

2k I agree completely that this idea of "fix the money, fix the world" has to begin from the individual. "Fix the money, fix the world" is a meme, a nugget of cultural capital. Fix the money, fix the world is simply an ideal not a formula. And by sharing this meme, Fix the Money, Fix the World, it's a short, compact way of communicating that ideal. It's a way for Bitcoiners to come into alignment culturally that Bitcoin will be used for the benefit of all.

1.1k I miss an episode and it's the one you guys give a massive shout out to @npub1cvcgs83gw… ! This is the #valuechain, high velocity exchange builds capital, especially if that exchange causes a chain reaction of capital to propagate. Not just financial capital (btc) but also intellectual, experiencial, social, cultural, spiritual, ect. This is how the world we want to live in gets built by participation and cooperation, big or small. The key right now is velocity in my opinion.
