Another awesome episode. I was so intrigued in this particular episode with the idea of Time being the focus. I'm constantly wondering when making post whether I should be using the Datetime (Roman Calendar) or the Bitcoin Block Height. The in-depth detail on time and the relationship with the lunar cycles definitely had me hooked it to this idea you're calling The Observatory. I'm super excited to see more about this.

The Roman Calendar is Dead: NextBlock's Bitcoin Time Revolution How We're Opting Out of Arbitrary Time and Embracing Bitcoin's Natural Rhythm [Block # 901651][S04X21] In this season finale of Flirting with Bitcoin, Ian and Mandana reveal NextBlock's first offering: The Observatory - a timekeeping system that uncovers Bitcoin's hidden connection to ancient lunar cycles. Ian shares his groundbreaking discovery that Bitcoin's blockchain is actually a "pseudo-programmatic lunar calendar" with 26 difficulty adjustments per year, creating exactly 13 moons annually. This revelation transforms how we understand Bitcoin's fundamental rhythm and opens the door to...

5k An excellent episode with the RPB team, and without a doubt my favorite with a guest. A lot of great chemistry with the guest this time. It was great getting to hear BC and AG back and forth about their military experience. I really appreciated the talk on the VFWs. I'll be sharing this episode with some folks. Keep it up, guys! #buyfundamentalsbook

5k This was an excellent episode. I personally think I've been disappointed by some of the more recent episodes. It wasn't that they were bad in any way I can point out, but they just didn't have that magic that I listen to this podcast for. This episode made me have that same feeling that hooked me in when I started listening to RPB. I LOVED IT. There are some who bow down and answer the calls of men and their laws. Then there are great men who only bow down and answer the call of God.

3k One of the most interesting episodes produced. The back and forth of the dialogue between npub1z9hy7a0n8zxnhgrcew2nnkr4sx6sum07exve99pqq30leujye3usgd858n and npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g as they not so much argue, but try to break down their use of language to meet an understanding on the complex idea that is 'enlightment'. I found myself going back and forth agreeing with one speaker and then rapidly finding myself agreeing with the other. It's as if I had an understanding yet not exactly, but the purity of the desire for truth kept me constantly intrigued. This is an episode I would mark in npub1kqrddzzl6xng2wn0n0eyyjnf6smwmtp8m5atetzjw7vqyngwrphs4ye5xu's top five. I'll give it some time, but I plan to listen to this episode again. Sidenote: I loved Fundamental's use of examples such as Larry Bird and The Fountainhead sparked me up with joy.

2k Awesome talk! Both npub15u3cqhx6vuj3rywg0ph5mfv009lxja6cyvqn2jagaydukq6zmjwqex05rq and npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g are amazing guys. Definitely worth the listen! @npub1xxdd8eusv… is the most important client being built right now. We have plenty of Twitter clones. We don't need any more. We need projects that will invite people in and introduce them to the NOSTR protocol.

1k Another great listen. 1. Great point of the amorality of Bitcoin. 2. Christ above all. 3. RIP Charlie Kirk 4. I'm looking forward to more of @npub1z9hy7a0n8… future content that he was teasing.

1k I really liked the idea of "Bitcoin Wrecks Relationships". I've been focusing on this concept a lot recently as more of my old relationships fade, and my new friends are folks focused on Bitcoin and Freedom Tech. Loved the intro with the Order 66 nod.

500 If you want less 'Pleb Slop' as is mentioned in this podcast many times then get off of platformed wall gardens and begin embracing freedom tech like NOSTR.

500 A conversation between two of the first Bitcoiners I ever had the pleasure of meeting in person. I always love getting to hear and learn more about npub1ec7rqh20d00pqc9uxxf7ruv0xcvah0vexzpd5kpcl46yj84pme4suggn5k's farming journey.
