Fuck you, Mow, you sold-out suit-simping cunt. Purposefully misreprenting the monetary incentives b/w miners who pocket these marginal spam fees and nodes who host a non-marginal pile of shit for the rest of time. NODES ARE DECENTRALIZATION. Not your miner buddies you touch peepees with at social mixers, nor your wallets that abstract away this nitty-gritty, nor Core and their low-T DEIcoin dreams. Grow a fucking pair.

Thanks for producing quality content as always. Although Jim completely misses the mark on Bitcoin - that "bubble" is only just beginning - his insight into private equity and credit markets is unmatched.

I rarely listen to Timcast anymore. I agree with what Clint said almost 100%. I only listen to the show if there is someone interesting on because Tim and his co-hosts have gotten very repetitive.

    Wishful thinking that these hackers would snip some wires while they're in there. France's tax bureau is becoming a trusted partner to wrench attackers all over Europe! Important reminder that adversarial thinking goes way beyond the consensus level. Stay private, stay safe, and thanks for the quality news to start my Monday!
