Is Bitcoin Failing? | Alex Gladstein & Paul Sztorc

1 soapminer = 1 soapminer 🔥🧼

Ordered more soap, love it. Enjoy having both cedarwood soap and deodorant.

Thanks for all your work, guys. I don't always agree with you but appreciate you regardless. I'm trying to add to the free, private, decentralized apps space based on p2p protocols and design using the Pear stack. So far I have a family/group calendar, family/location sharing and screen time apps. Please check out what I've got so far at https://peerloomllc.com or check out @npub16u9hy2m8w… on NOSTR.

The bark wallets are great

Oops, meant to boost more

Pretty good song

Bitcoin adjacent products are mainly there for institutions that can't hold Bitcoin directly or for tax "advantaged" 401ks/IRAs held by us wage-slaves. When I'm getting %6 match from my employer you better believe I'm putting all that towards Bitcoin ETFs or MSTR. So long as the fiat gains track with Bitcoin AND the system doesn't blow up, there's a good path to one day cash that out and convert into Bitcoin, then live off it by using BTC-backed loan products, inflating away the fiat debt so long as BTC CAGR outpaces the interest. Of course, all other take-home pay goes directly into BTC. These products have their niche, and I think that's what Saylor and Mallers are tapping into

Fuck spammers

Real rich listening to NVK complain about using the state when he's the fagot who attacks people in the community with bullshit trademark infringements. That's why I bought a BTClock yesterday. Everybody should buy a BTClock. Fuck NVK in his slobbery stuttering mouth

Pro trip, when using NFC to broadcast your transactions, open up Tor browser first, then broadcast and it will use Tor browser to broadcast your transaction over Tor

Bro that song at the end is a banger lol

👍🏻👍🏻

No actual discussion about the BIP technicals. Projection, fear-mongering, mind reading. Odell kind of did the same thing with Swan Bitcoin a couple years ago when he didn't have info that they hadn't announced and basically accused them of being bad actors and had to walk it back. If you disagree with the goal and assume bad motivations then of course it's going to seem like an attack. BIP-110 supporters can (and probably do) say that Core's actions + some statements by various devs + various VC connections = attack on Bitcoin. Everyone has their idea of what they want Bitcoin to be and everyone has something at stake. As a small miner who is all-in on Bitcoin for years now, and has been following this issue since early 2025, I support the vision of BIP110. Doesnt mean it's perfect, but I believe it's better than the direction we'd be heading without it.

the core dev, lorinc, finding a critical consensus bug from sloppy coding in 110 was hilarious.

110 is an attack on Bitcoin. Doesn’t mean Core is perfect either.

More! ❤️‍🔥🧨🧨

The North Sea nexus. Fuck the Brits, butt hurt bastards

How about Librem phones and Network? Or Pine?

Excellent rip

🧨🧨🧨

Congratulations man! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congrats on 1,000! Here’s to many more! 🎉🎊

Excellent rip! Had a blast with you guys! Definitely something spiritual going on at Lake Satoshi. I hope to see that energy spreading to other meetups and areas

Mon a not 🤔🤣

Fedi fuds on LSPs 😂 rich

👍🏻👍🏻

Agreed. I've felt bad vibes coming from Core camp since the very beginning of the debate before I really understood the issue. Glad we clearly agree on this 😁

👍🏻👍🏻

Trust the plan

Re: remembering dreams and having super vivid dreams. Turn off the circuit breakers in your house before bed. I started doing this and nothing else has had a stronger effect on my dream vividness and recall. If you run a miner or absolutely need some stuff running (i.e. refrigerator) just leave those circuit breakers on and turn the rest off. Telling you bros. Try it!

Happy to discover this AI and coding podcast

Ente is "en tay" ✔️

Top notch recommendations all around

I recently verified a sock puppet Google account using Jmp too. They are an excellent anonymous Google Voice/esim/sms alternative

Cheogram aka https://Jmp.chat Gajim on Windows too It's basically a complete alternative to Google voice and how that works. I have been using it for years at this point and it's excellent

🧨❤️‍🔥🧨

👍🏻👍🏻

I can also confirm that I know someone who has a relationship with their chatbot. He asks it all types of questions, mostly about God and politics. He is an otherwise smart individual, a Latino business owner about 45 years old

Every human has vaccine intolerance. That's because they're toxic

This was an awesome podcast. Felt very insightful

Good rip 🔥🐥🐇🌻

Silent payments sound interesting, I had a client ask me about them recently @npub1qny3tkh0a… @npub1tr4dstapt… 👀

Seedless is safer is an attack on Bitcoin. Bitkey makes totally reasonable tradeoffs for noobs with modest stacks. But this is dishonest marketing at best.

Nostr students in Serbia? I'll zap that

Video would be a nice option but not necessary in my opinion

The Podfather would be disappointed in the suggestion of adding video. Shame shame. No video for me, personally

I make all my coffee at home to save sats and avoid annoying commies who hate me.

"IBD speed has been improved! Why are people complaining?" Bruh, no one cares about one-time IBD performance with inscriptions, it's about the permanent storage requirements from the blockchain bloat. Hard tell when these guys are disingenuous or just that dense/ignorant of the opposition's steel manned position

Love murch 👍🏻👍🏻
