Bitcoin news and bitcoin regulation update. Today I cover the U.S. expanding pressure on Iran with sanctions targeting digital assets and other revenue channels, a Chainalysis-led operation that flagged more than 7,700 suspect accounts, continued UK banking restrictions on Bitcoin transfers, a $24 million AI crypto-mining Ponzi conviction, and the mysterious Ox Alpha AI model. This one runs through bitcoin regulation, financial surveillance, banking access, fraud, and technology.

Lynn Alden discussing the intricacies of cleaning a vagina versus a penis on Nostr definitely elevated her hotness level in my book. Being endowed with a pair of tits myself, I feel qualified to say that she helps validate other tits in bitcoin and anyone threatened by hot tits should automatically fail the purity test. Also, as the purveyor of an Elvis themed establishment, this episodes’ boost reading section gave me extra good vibes!

This entire podcast is loaded with valuable takeaways. Worth listening to twice. So damn good! Personally I resonated with the discussion on producing high quality consumable products that can't be recreated because nature is intimately involved. I feel the same way about breeding and growing cannabis.

This interview gave a validating voice to my own subconscious murmurings about the growth of my pizzeria... Profitability only to the point of uncompromised values, with the deeper value coming from constant personal analysis, reflection, and growth. Oh, and that sweet second cup, almost as satisfying as the first. Fantastic follow up! PS Rev Hodl interview was equally as great, just don’t make it over to Fountain to boost each time.

Also, I’m extremely disappointed that our SBR is being built with nefariously confiscated coins only and the funding for the White House ballroom comes from big tech, Ripple, Coinbase, and Tether… but nothing shady or concerning to see here folks, go back to your regularly scheduled pleb slop.

I passed the jab test, but failed miserably on the psyop that this time would be different. The second he launched his shit coin I knew I had been duped. The only consolation is that the memes are better and I thoroughly enjoy the irony of being called a fascist for not supporting government intervention.

The brain rot you’re thinking of from GenX was manufactured bubble gum pop like New Kids, Spice Girls, and Hanson and sugar glazed shows like Full House, Saved by the Bell, and Baywatch… definitely not grunge, and certainly not TooL. Why you doggin’ on GenXers, glazing Zoomers and not even mentioning the epic rot levels of the Millennials? I’m on the cusp but would claim GenX on TooL alone.

The biggest problem with the old way of podcasting is that the podcasters are monetizing thier audience by selling someone else's stuff via sponsorships. Podcasting 2.0 monetizes the actual value the podcast delivers. Start a podcast to sell your value not someone else's slop.

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.

Had to make it over to Fountain for a long overdue boost… The Neo-cons, like the libtards, have never actually been in charge… They are both too retarded for global domination. They are just masters at schlong gobbling the centuries old occult bloodlines that actually rule over us. However, they did help summon Baal with the public execution of Charlie Kirk inside a pentagon, so ushering in the return of Jesus makes sense now for some final boss showdown action. Can I place a ploymarket bet on that?! Wow, separate shout outs from Richard AND Rod, thanks Gentlemen! I’ll add a deserving shout out to all the Mom’s of the pioneers! P.S. I traded in 2 decades of 40 HPW on my first generation iPod for 40 HPW of bitcoin podcasts. It was such a natural progression. Still love TooL though, even if Maynard turned into a woke retard.

Chet has been a great friend since the moment we met. He has mentored me and helped me accomplish so much of what I do with Bitcoin miners. Chet helps stoke the flames of local Bitcoin culture wherever he goes. I love hearing stories about how beneficial Bitcoin meetups have been.

Trying to keep pleb slop away from meetups is the wrong approach. Meetups are where plebs become pioneers. They come to the meetup because the are ready to put in the work. The meetup organizers are there to guide and teach pleb slop literacy. How to recognize and think critically about the pleb slop. To build a local culture that is aware of pleb slop but can consume it for what it is rather than be psyoped, gaslit, and generally mislead or distracted by it.

Any boobs can be sex symbols with proper marketing, glaze or simple appreciation! Every good relationship should have manipulation from both sides that maximize each other’s potential… Any other form of manipulation, run to the hills! Signal chats validated.

    Correction… Credit card companies won the court battle about not being able to pass service fees along to customers and charge different rates for same items… Mechants and credit card processors got around this by offering “multi-tier pricing with a cash discount”.

    Dude, I’m a girl 😁. Keep the extra sats, you have absolutely provided the value! I use Podverse as my daily driver, but they only support Alby Wallet… And I’ve never known if boosts get read from other 2.0 platforms. Also, a comment from yesterday about the land of Lincoln… Look no further than credit card processors to see that there can be a different rate for cash payments versus card… I’m sure they could find the same loophole for charging a service fee on BTC payments.
