In this episode you talk about hosting bitcoin meetups as you travel around. If you happen to make your way through the San Francisco Bay area, come check out one of our meetups! We have several every month, and I run one that has a monthly cadence. I don't think going to a meetup is an opsec issue. Just be mindful about what sort of personal info you're sharing with other attendees.

Hey Chris. This is when your show is most important, when things are tough. This is my first bear market, didn't think it would feel this intense. Any advice for us from your experience with your first bear markets?

Just got back from Las Vegas. Lots of conventions, everything was busy. No one was complaining about prices or the economy...unless you talk to the people driving cab, cleaning your room, serving tables. Different story from them.

Keep it up Chris. I also skipped the episode you did when you strayed from the normal show structure. Take it as a compliment. Love the show, hope it continues. This Bitcoin thing is just getting started.

One podcast too late on that Las Vegas hat. Jack Mallars, seems to be a great guy. Unfortunately, I find he simplifies his message on purpose to keep it succinct. Makes sense for his audience, but if I were having a beer with him it would be nice to get the inside scoop on his biggest partner, The Big Gold buyer, Tether.

You mentioned something about Luke and Lopp and knots. What did I miss, was that on the podcast?

Our buddy Luke Groman did a interesting interview with Joe Burnett. He equated bitcoin scarcity with the scarcity of his lakehouse property, he paid off his mortgage with the sale proceeds. Overall, he sounded defensive. He certainly went over and above to explain away his bitcoin sale.

Great show! I don't know if you expect these people to "get" it, but I posted on X right after I saw the critic slam crypto. It says MSNBC at the bottom of the screen, people either aren't watching or don't find them credible. It's either stupidity or malice & intelligent people are no longer taking them seriously.

For example Cryptography in german - Kryptographie Also mein or meine means „mine“ Almost every bank markets as „meine bank“ also plenty of apps and services have „meine“ in front of it

Secondary revenue streams for mining operations remains arguably the most interesting thing in Bitcoin for me. Like who would've thought you can address methane emission from landfills in a profitable way that satisfies climate activists and is also a net health benefit to the local people. Literally everyone wins!

Excited for the conversation that took place on sessions recently; Simon Dixon vs. Jeff Booth. Excellent signal, I am always confused why Simon does not get more exposure. I would like to see him on Citadel & TFTC. It was a welcome white pill, a masterclass from Jeff. We are winning. Marty, can u get Doomberg on TFTC?

Yes, we want a ByBit breakdown. More content is better than less. Reference: CheckonChain. Digital gold is a bad analogy, Bob Burnett will talk ppl through blockspace being the most powerful commodity the world will ever know, reference softwar. I hope all is well with your health, I am reminded that everyone is dealing with something that no one else knows about.

Saylor - go along to get along. You'll remember he stopped talking about "no second best" after other crypto was no longer securities. Before then essentially he said it was illegal. If he can't sell bitcoin, it's encumbered. The SEC needs it to be a liquid asset to ensure consumer protection.

Thanks for the BIP110 rundown. It's funny, the Bankless guys are responsible for me selling all my ETH and going Bitcoin only. I was trying to understand the "industry", and their promotions of garbage taught me a valuable lesson.

    What a killer first episode of the rebooted pod! Loved all the topics discussed. I’m really interested in 4D visualization and I can’t help thinking when I see some of the morphing UFO videos etc or those that dip into water without showing drag effects, that these are actually just 3d slices of 4d entities rotating and translating in 4d space. Also on the topic of universe origin, the concept of God being the cause being referred to as “supernatural” makes it sound wish washy because of the connotations of that word. But it’s a perfectly fair explanation that there is an uncaused timeless consciousness that created this spacetime - because honestly it’s the only one that fulfills the requirements. Who/what that consciousness is is then another whole discussion of course. Anyway, awesome chat!
