No update this week about your ongoing mempool bet, but I made a track under a side project "Alfred Integer" with you both sampled in it to mark the occasion this past year on Wavlake. https://wavlake.com/track/f9da5ecb-57b3-4836-92a4-1b2442a2b… Stay humble and stack sats!

I’d love to hear some Bitcoin stats each episode. Also, yes, I’m stacking for retirement. Each paycheck I set aside some money for my brokerage, my IRA, and Bitcoin. I’m pretty sure I’ll regret not putting everything in Bitcoin in the future, but I currently sleep soundly at night.

If 2222 is a row of ducks, then I think this is an "all wheel drive" aka a 4x4. For stats: I like the idea of you tagging your podcasts with the blockheight. Maybe also include the last 4-6 digits of the block hash as a way timestamp your episode to the timechain. Honestly though I don't know what tangible benefit this provides other than being kinda cool. Is Bitcoin part of my retirement plan? Of course! Saving money is part of my retirement plan. Why wouldn't that include an undebasable money?

This is bananas! WTF! Seems like the ranchers and lawyers should be heading down the $ path and hitting where it hurts - the politicians. Play their game. But, ugh, this sucks and it’s a small niche story that has universal ramifications

Great to get these updates from Oscar at Fountain. Still playing with how my RSS hosted music under "Tonewrecker Tracks" functions differently from what is under "Paul Birken" on Wavlake.

Always great to catch a new episode and get the inside scoop on what's happening next. Boosting here as a brainstorm reminder to follow up with you guys about creating a "back catalog bounty" to encourage new listeners to explore an artists existing catalog of music.

I happen to know quite a bit about protecting the grid from solar flares and I was closely monitoring the event in May. I hate to be that guy but your guest is missed a lot things concerning the electrical grid. After the Quebec blackout in 1989 grid operators have greatly improved their ability monitor and mitigate geomagnetic disturbances. Once a flare is detected, grid operators have like 6-10 hours to prepare for the plasma to hit us so they have time to disconnect / protect vulnetable equipment. If a really, really bad one hits us, power restoration will be on the order of days, not months or years, sorry!

Coincidentally, I also went down the meme stock rabbit hole recently, I watched the James Jani doc, I watched a.bunch of Marantz and Richard Newton on YT, etc. I was shocked to find that I came away thinking Marantz actually has a good point, I wouldn't dismiss him so easily. AMC, BBBY and GME are not the same and I think Ryan Cohen is genuinely trying to turn around GME, he got out of BBBY when he saw it was a lost cause. The story of private equity bankruptcies is truly fascinating. This whole GME saga transformed into a rich vs poor battle which is still ongoing. Will the common man ever see justice? Who knows. Do hedge funds break the rules and get away with it ? No doubt they do. Good discussion.

Mike Benz is an evil a$$hole, sorry Tom. He openly says lying, cheating, stealing, killing etc. foreigners is perfectly fine if it results in american corporations have a higher profit margins and higher stock valuations. Listen to Tucker (supposed Christian) interview, Mike is pushing disgusting immoral arguments.

It's really cool cracking open an old journal and remembering the person who you once were compared to the person you are today. With some amount of effort you can envoke that former person but now with wisdom you've gained. Quality conversation guys.
