Show Notes

In this somewhat different episode, I explain my passion for podcasting, try to give an overview of what constitutes a podcast (technically and in spirit) and argue why the medium is worth protecting.

Great Converation ladies. I’m a 55 YO female in the space - didn’t know this was the “smallest” demographic. Interesting to learn. Also - I absolutely loved “Old Man Yells”. I learned so much from Bob and ate every episode up. I was honestly a little disappointed to see “Bitcoin Boomers” because it signaled to me that OMY was to be no more. Every episode was so well thought out and so valuable. I have started following and listening to BB as well. It isn’t quite the same as it seems a bit rambly. But I love Bob - and Larry too. Sorry don’t know Gary that well. I like hearing of the plans for BB though. Sounds like there will be more focussed discussions in the future!

Nooooo! You can’t sunset TWIB. It’s clear you put a ton of effort into the show. The sound effects are fun and all that but it must be very time consuming. I would prefer many more episodes of TWIB but maybe ease up on the effort it takes to polish it up so nice? It’s worth the trade off. Your news choices and opinions are very valuable.

Say what you will regarding channeled material - there is certainly a lot of garbage out there, but I have found some fascinating stuff. In line with this episode, and a recent episode of “The Path to Bitcoin” podcast (regarding “Quantized Time”) I am reminded of the following summary (courtesy of Grok) of Ramon Stevens channel of Alexander from the book “Conscious Life: Creating Your Reality”: (I boosted this same comment to relevant The Parh to Bitcoin episode) Chapter 3: The Primal Pulse (The Quantization of Time and Successive Appearances) • The universe doesn’t exist continuously—it is recreated fresh and new in every moment by the “primal pulse,” a rhythmic beat from a divine Source. • Your world (and all physical reality) “blinks on and off” in a constant pulsing dance, like frames in a film. • Time emerges from this pulse: The fundamental unit of time is the “primal moment” between pulses. All longer durations (seconds, years) are built on these discrete beats. • Space and time are inseparable, born from the same “womb” (the pulse). Each pulsation carries charge and pattern to the primal cells, sparking the next “version” of the universe. • This creates the illusion of continuous matter and motion, but at the deepest level, reality is quantized and successive—matter “appears” anew with each pulse, sustained by the ongoing vibrational transmission.{link: {link: https://fountain.fm/episode/vp6SQo9wqckuyBpiMOJo, hit: {_id: vp6SQo9wqckuyBpiMOJo, _guid: https://thepathtobitcoin.com/?p=5593, _origin: FOUNTAIN, _type: EPISODE, info: {title: Episode #184 – On the Same Page, subtitle: The Path to Bitcoin, publisher: Anon, description: , image: , rss: , audio: https://traffic.libsyn.com/thepathtobitcoin/Episode185_Pape…, duration: 2303, published: 2026-02-19T09:11:18.000Z, payable: false, start: , end: }, links: [show:id:0lpHT2GtEeOCLKRO83OR, show:guid:415a3445-758a-50d3-850c-d7b57a5b05c0]}}}

In line with this podcast, and Preston’s podcast with Jeff Booth et all (regarding “Quantized Time”) I am reminded of the following summary (courtesy of Grok) of Ramon Stevens channel of Alexander from the book “Conscious Life: Creating Your Reality”: (I plan to boost this same comment to Preston’s episode) Chapter 3: The Primal Pulse (The Quantization of Time and Successive Appearances) • The universe doesn’t exist continuously—it is recreated fresh and new in every moment by the “primal pulse,” a rhythmic beat from a divine Source. • Your world (and all physical reality) “blinks on and off” in a constant pulsing dance, like frames in a film. • Time emerges from this pulse: The fundamental unit of time is the “primal moment” between pulses.

Is it just me - or when you glance at the episode thumbnail - does it look like Danny’s guests all always wear a Santa hat? The white and red stripe style of their name kinda thing.
