Show Notes

Marty sits down with Johann Kurtz to discuss the cultural shift away from intergenerational wealth transfer, the moral framework of duty that once guided wealthy Westerners, and why building a lasting family legacy matters more than giving it all to charity.

This was fantastic! Erik confirmed I’m not crazy thinking most people are cowardly, cucked pussies. Hodl got me thinking deeper, longer term on leaving the world a better place. All set to the Smooth Jazz voice that is Walker. Brilliant!

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

Ben, if you see bears in the future, give them something they'd want instead of grapes. Picnic baskets.

Welcome back Walker, congrats on the bigger family Also, xpubs will only give unhardened addresses. That said, I expect a Venn diagram of people who didn't roll dice and people using hardened addresses is probably two separate circles.

The outernet stuff you're looking for the name of is Reticulum I suspect. Works over lora, Bluetooth, wifi, TCP/IP, ham radio (illegally -- its encrypted), wires...pretty much whatever you want. FIPS is another cool one you should all look at. Turns your npub into an IPv6 address. Talk to @npub1dergggklk… and Max Hillebrand

One of the best WBD's yet. Dines' coverage of the Eurodollar mechanics here and the shift that happened with LIBOR to SOFR is something far too few people are talking about (Luongo notwithstanding).

Huge thank you to @npub1dmcd5wqd3… for this episode. I’m not a Chicago native, but growing up 90 miles SW (Starved Rock), weekend trips were a constant. I went to DePaul and lived in Lincoln Park in the late 90s /early 2000s. The city was beautiful. World-Class. I rarely go anymore. I’d never let my teenage kids run up there for the day, or a concert, like I constantly did. Chicago and Illinois are naturally beautiful, but being destroyed by greed, incompetence, and cheap money. Keep doing what you do, Jack, it is appreciated and valued.

Easily the best Pomp Podcast I’ve ever listened to. The explanation of tariffs, especially the 2018 examples, blow out my Overton Window. I really hope Pomp’s theory on the end goal plays out - we’ll be in a better world. Get on Nostr, Pomp!

Fantastic episode, Jack! I know several older Xers and Boomers who I’ll be sharing this with. Complete noob idea for a future show sounds great as well.

A million times yes. Thank you for addressing this in the right way. You're one of the only podcasts that hasn't responded to Coinkite with yet more bad options. Very much excited that Learning Bitcoin From The Command Line is getting a new edition too -- long overdue.

Re:other nodes and making news, you're clearly not watching Eric Voskuil on Twitter. Libbitcoin 4 just did IBD in 14 minutes on a consumer connection (with assumevalid height of 950k) and 55 min for full validation. Older than Knots, and older than Core being called, well, Core. They slept for a good few years but are waking up with a vengeance.

100% 🔥🔥 Jack!! I live and work in the part of Illinois (and neighboring states) south of I-80. It is a hollowed out shell. Towns withering away. Drugs, poverty, downtowns replaced with a Dollar General and a Caseys.

    👍🏻👍🏻 effective altruism is just code for the synicism and nihilism of the childless.

    Not sure if you've read @npub1dtgg8yk3h…' s Bushido of Bitcoin @Marty Bent but this conversation is very much on the same wavelength. That, and Aleks I know you're still working on volume 2 so maybe give this one a listen 🙂
