3k This seems a very accurate description of btc to me, and also one which depends on two things: btc being hard money, and btc being usable as money for trade.
thomatoApr 23, 2026
3k Trying to keep it short: Money used for Money-Commodity-Money trades is capital. This is how an industrialist uses money. Contrast this to the Commodity-Money-Commodity use of money by say a poor farmer.
thomatoApr 23, 2026
3k It's interesting that you ask if Saylor is downplaying btc as an asset, when the clip you played has him describing it as capital. In classical political economy, capital is a specific role played by hard money.
Josh FabeanApr 19, 2026
21k I've wanted to boost more often but money has been tight. However I recently switched jobs and will most likely more than double my income and a lot of that is due to Linux and self hosted knowledge that I grew over the past years for work and while listening to your shows. This podcast has also made we push harder into holding bitcoin than ever before. So a big thank you for everything!

2.2k Just food for thought. I do wonder what the eventual effects might be for bitcoin, hopefully positive!
thomatoJan 15, 2026
2.2k Welcome back for the new year! Whilst I prefer the shows not focused on US-internal politics, I know there'll be some of that, it's only natural for a US based show.
If we're talking about the US Fed, though ... what do you think about the NY Fed holding 7000 tonnes of gold on behalf of foreign governments ? After invading Venezuela, the US might be able to steal its bitcoin reserves, or maybe not. The gold in NY is much easier to steal.
If I wanted a sovereign reserve, I know where I'd look!

2k I watched the FOMC meeting so you don’t have to. And it’s rate cuts, but with a gotcha.
Plus the two companies working on a Bitcoin line of credit and why I think they sound terrific, and a lot more!

4k I have ADHD and use podcasts and audiobooks to help me focus at work, video just distracts me and so I never use it. That being said if others would like video I'd have no issue with it so long as you remain an audio first show. I've given up on a few long time listens due to the hosts moving to a video first mindset and making the audio a waste of time to listen to, I'd hate to see that happen to TWIB.
tl;dr: Video is a fine addition, as long as you keep an audio first mindset.

oppy1984Jun 27, 2025
4k First, enjoy the vacation, it's well deserved. Second on Ace's thought on the Amazon coin, I agree with his assessment but I think the real play will be the interest. They will treat the Amazon coin like a gift card where you deposit money with the company and redeem it later, and in that in-between time the company is accruing interest. Starbucks is rivaling some banks with their gift card interest bearing holdings and I'm sure Amazon is not far behind them.

thomatoMay 15, 2026
5k I'd bet Saylor's selling btc is because of whatever Galaxy Brain thing I don't understand that separates what he's doing from a Ponzi scheme. But if it's not that, maybe it's simple? Buy low sell high, and he's betting against a hot bitcoin summer?
ChrisLASMay 13, 2026
2k Fresh TWiB and it’s a big one!

4k I was pro Bitcoin prior to this, but operation choke point was what turned me into a Bitcoin hardliner.
Also first boost from my start 9 Alby hub connected to fountain. It took several sessions with ChatGPT to figure out the issues but if you're reading this then it finally worked.

* This week, the market forced peace.
* And the Fed gets a new face.
* The Iran deal wasn’t just geopolitics.
* It was oil, debt, and inflation finally putting a hard limit on American power.
* And why Bitcoiners can’t afford to look away.
Two stories, one signal. I break it all down.

4k While I do believe that the establishment Democrats are anti-bitcoin, I don't think the El Salvador investigation is just about the use of Bitcoin. While I'm sure the use of Bitcoin is a factor it may just be a convenient way to mask their true intention of driving a wedge between El Salvador and the current administration over the migrant detention center. Then again this is the Dems we're talking about so they may just have their "Bitcoin bad" blinders on and are just taking any opportunity to attack Bitcoin.

20k Imho we have let the crypto skeptics get inside our heads. I think as a community we should lean into the fact that boost are powered by bitcoin. As a small business, I’m grateful to have support in a hard asset. It’s helped me fight inflation and keep my head above water. Bitcoin is an intelligence test, and I don’t need everyone in the world listening. I want a great audience, not the biggest audience possible. These are things we should lean into as a podcasting community trying to offer an alternative to mainstream crap. Go Podcasting!
ChrisLASSep 21, 2024
20k Just wanted to say I really appreciate the work you guys do behind the scenes for the us Podcasters out here! Also +1 to the idea of putting an on-chain Address in the funding tag. I’ve definitely heard from a few listeners that would support via onchain, because that’s where they already have their stats.

4k My cold storage is a paper wallet stored in an Altoids style tin that is locked in a fire proof wall safe. I print my paper wallets on a laptop that I ran DBAN on them installed Mint 19.1 on and never connected to the network. The laptop is permanently air gapped and the only connection it has is a USB connection to an old dumb laser printer. I run Bitcoin paper wallet locally to generate new wallets as needed. It may not be "military grade encryption" but it works for me and my humble little stack.

2.2k I don't see any reason why btc couldn't stay under the cost of mining a coin for quite a while. The miners with reserves would keep going, and the small ones wouldn't make it. But my prediction is that it doesn't stay below $60k for long, exactly because this idea is widespread and people will start buying again if it does

4.2k 42 seems like the perfect episode to boost for the first time using sats sent from my self hosted alby mode hosted on my start9 pure to my fountain wallet. Sorry I've been away and unable to boost but start9 had a sale going and I was stacking every day I could to take advantage of it and then I ran into some technical difficulties during my server setup, let's be honest mostly between the keyboard and chair. Good to be back and self sovereign. And I'm honor of episode 42, don't forget your towel!

Bret, if you plan on doing any traveling with the van, and why have it if you're not, then I'd suggest a GMRS radio. Most truckers have switched from CB to GMRS and while you need a license to transmit, you can listen without a license. Also you have to build in a meshtastic node because.... reasons.

Trying to prep for TUI challenge I've been trying to find a good way to watch YouTube. All the YT TUIs seem to be based on invidious which gets blocked all the time. So I created my own based on YT API and will just show you a list of videos by your subscriptions in the tui, not real YT subs, then open in MPV. This saves so many gigs of RAM. https://github.com/fabean/ytviewer
