Wes: how do you deal with the fact that #ESPHome in #nix is always way behind? I have tried going that route for building updates but it lags behind HAOS and the associated add in too much. So far for me, I’ve resorted to using a virtual environment on macOS to do builds so that the versions match and builds are fast.

1k Unchained Capital has a Bitcoin IRA that uses a multisig setup that’s compatible with the Trezor One… it’s a nice option for rolling over a 401k from a previous employer… just sayin’

2.2k HODL’ing ‘til the the cows come home… I’m in no hurry since I wasn’t expecting any real upside until 4 or 5 years in anyhow. I only started dipping my toes in beyond lightning in March 2024 but learned that HODL’ing is the way.

2.2k Regarding the dual mandate, I think Matthew nailed it: “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.”

2k Boosting again just because I keep thinking about the stuff in this episode

2.2k Last week I boosted and relied on you seeing the rendered version of my npub like is shown on Fountain & Primal, but that isn’t how things work. After reading you suggested making my own site pouted at my Nostr profile… so I did 😁 I setup https://genebean.me with all my links and setup https://genebean.me/nostr as a shortcut.

2.2k 🤔💭I wonder if Wes could update y’all’s boost tooling to resolve Nostr addresses as I tend to boost this show from Fountain simply because it also posts to Nostr. I wonder if the the tooling could also use info Fountain includes in boosts to make that easier. That would help with truncated boosts from here too since Nostr notes can be way longer than boosts natively support.

2.2k From what I’ve learned thus far, it feels to me like there are other things at play that generally line up on 4 year intervals rather than #bitcoin itself having a 4 year cycle. Primarily, I think what you’ve laid out previously about the liquidity market being the driver is key.

2.2k Re: Would I spend my sats at a store with Square that’s offering the option of paying in BTC? Absolutely, but I’d do it via the cash side of the Strike app where I pay the invoice straight from my checking account. I’d do it every time simply to help normalize paying that way.

2.2k Just read “Tether Was Born On Bitcoin. Twelve Years Later, Is It Coming Back?” and it sounds like some important things regarding lightning are happening, particularly related to the first two of three companies mentioned in it.

2.2k This BIP110 stuff makes me sick and is why I returned to core a while back. Q: where are Jack Mallers, Jack Dorsey, & Michael Saylor on this? Can they not help counter this stupidity with their reach & influence? What about the other treasury companies that have a vested interest here and big microphones?

2.2k Suits me if some deep-pocketed types are toying with the people doing high leverage stuff against Bitcoin as that mess seems to artificially distort the actual market value of BTC… or that’s my layman’s impression at least

2.2k We can’t have you being under compensated for TWIB… surely, of all people, the listeners of a #bitcoin #podcast can figure out how to use the #lightning network to show their appreciation for what you do. If anyone wants help figuring this out, hit me up:

2.2k I enjoyed the interview but for sure felt that it is/would be out of place as a regular episode of TWIB. Now, as one of the specials, absolutely fits. Keep up the good work Chris!

2.2k I’d be down with having episodes that are deep dives on single topics as paid bonus content… for example, a cashu deep dive.

2.2k Regarding #Bitcoin Knots, I have been trying to read the tea leaves based off of the reporting you are providing here. Well, the news in this episode + the great boost about the problems with Core’s recent actions were enough to push me over to the land of Knots.
