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.

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.

One final shill for TABConf 6 - in one week - October 23 - 26, 2024. Atlanta, Georgia. Those not attending Plan B should attend Plan A… (TL). TABConf.com Shout out to Michael Tidwell, and the sponsors including Spiral, River, and Unchained, ZBD, HRF, and the others. And if you never heard of the Capture the Bitcoin scavenger hunt, search YouTube for “Capture the Bitcoin Challenge Review - TABConf 2021”, seventeen minutes of rabbit hole you will never get back.

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?

A recurring statement from guests on THE Bitcoin Podcast, “That is such a good question…”, repeated twice on this episode, great job Walker. Much of the material here belongs at the very beginning of an orange pill discussion.

PaL = Peace and Love! IYKYN. Weird that last week Fountain doxxed my full name instead of screen name, no worries I’m fully doxxed anyway, probably something with the new Nostr integration which is awesome. Shout out to ATL BitLab, hosting ATL BitDevs and ATL BitPlebs meetups most Wednesday evenings 6-8pm right on the Atlanta Beltline. SHSS

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.
