Great episode, I absolutely agree with privacy as default tools are badly needed in Bitcoin. We must advance the UX to bring more people onto self custody Bitcoin in a easy and safe way. Those tools with great UX will win and if they are private by default Bitcoin will fulfill its promise. Short of that it's looking like just another asset like paper gold in a brokerage account.

Show Notes
In this episode, McIntosh and Kenshin reflect on a major Bitcoin milestone and use it as a jumping-off point for a broader conversation about where Bitcoin came from and why its foundations still matter. Along the way, they mix in some personal updates, thoughts on technology, and the bigger picture of how digital tools are changing the way we live and work. The discussion then turns to the Cypherpunk Manifesto and the lasting importance of privacy, encryption, and individual freedom in an increasingly digital world. The episode connects those earlier ideas to Bitcoin today, exploring how questions...

1.1k Great rant by Giacomo! Everyone who has a position on BIP-110 should listen (both sides) personally I agree with 99.99% of what he said, but I'm supportive of BIP-110 for the sake of reminding the Core devs they don't decide what Bitcoin is and does. I look forward to competing node software fighting for market share by providing a stable product that is most aligned with users desires.

888 The next #bullishMarket event is on Tuesday July 21! If you have something to sell and have been thinking about attending, reserve your booth before June 30 and take advantage of the early nostrich pricing — 1000 sats for new vendors and 500 for returning. The website has been updated so you’ll automatically be added to the Nostr calendar event. More integrations to come. Gotta keep cooking like the Local Bitcoiners! https://bullishmarket.onrender.com

333 That was a quick turnaround! I didn’t get a chance to boost Oshi’s episode yet. Boosting this one now in case y’all drop another one in less than a week. 😄 Thanks for continuing to support #TakeMySats and the #bullishMarket. NIP-99 support is also coming to a new client I’m building called #Circl 👀 (Yes, that’s spelled correctly. It’s still cool to leave off vowels right?)

222 The #bullishMarket is on the 21st of every month! If that falls on a weekday, the event will be in the evening (6-7 PM). And if it falls on a weekend, it’ll be in the morning (9-10 AM). Central time. Been doing it this way for almost a year! I know it’s not a consistent day of the week but hopefully that means someone can make it on a weekend that couldn’t make it on a weekday and vice versa.

111 Funnily enough, I didn’t know what NIP-A0 was until y’all mentioned voicemails in episode 18. Then I remembered the Nostr CEO @npub1wa3jv2usx… created yakbak.app a while back, which is geared towards voice messages under a minute. I know how bullish you are on Nostr integrations. So when you do add support for voicemails on the site, it’ll appear on YakBak and #Circl. This is why I Nostr.
