21k Thank you for your hospitality gentlemen. It was more than a pleasure to spend time in your virtual coffee shop ☕️

1k I appreciate listening to a podcast where I’ve given all three of y’all a hug! Keep up the good work gentlemen! Lol, Otis was the GIF of the guy who sees something, makes a face like “this might as well happen” and then unzip! 🤣

25k It was so great to meet all of y’all and to see Fundamentals again! Thanks for the books! Otis - Thanks for the coffee! BitcoinAcct - Thanks for tossing a bag of freeze dried skittles to me on the last day too! I had a few on the plane ride home and they are delicious! My kids finished all the rest of them! Really enjoyed meeting all y’all and enjoyed the discussions throughout the day and late into the night with Karl too! See y’all next year! Somehow I forgot to grab a bag of beans from Otis... I appreciated the cups for me and for my wife, the coffee was delicious and I appreciated the V4V - I hope y’all earned enough!

15k Hello sir - Just came across your podcast recently. Listened to about 15-16 episodes all the way back to the FREE SAMOURAI! Episode. Anyway, keep up the good work sir! Here’s some V4V sats and for your contribution to my 40HPW. Just a quick stupid question: When you say “Circle P” what do you mean? I understand the idea of circular economy but ... P? Plebconomy?

21k Bassload and I have frequently discussed the comparative energy consumption of AI versus the caloric intake of the human brain. The energy extracted from the Earth and converted for use would need to be significantly higher for AI to even approach the productivity/creativity levels of the human brain. AI's energy consumption would far exceed that required by humans, yet it would still not nearly match the brain's efficiency or output. The energy consumed by the soul is not of this earth and cannot be measured by earthly metrics.

5k Holy shit, if Long John Silver’s started frying in beef tallow! A whole bowl of those little pieces of crispy fried batter would be so much better with a Marlboro Red and not a seed oil coating! I remember sitting in the non-smoking section of Waffle House back in the day as a kid getting my first taste of nicotine from the table directly behind me. What a time the 90s were!
latestagehodlAug 12, 2025
5k So glad I was able to share some non-KYC cigs with the Bugle Boys! I won't dox which one of them was smoking KYC vapes. I was concerned after not seeing a podcast confirmed by my Fountain node for over a week! I wish y’all had been recording during Lake Satoshi - or maybe you were... If so then I guess I consented to it and it was a pleasure to meet you both!

10k Should have named the last episode “Cash for Clankers” - I honestly thought the title was “Clunkers” until y’all switched to robotism...
Anyway, man, I have so many stories about buying or selling cars! Dealerships are the worst! We just dealt with one and it was quite a situation! This poor kid sold his first car to me and I took him on a rollercoaster of emotions!

10k I guess I forgot to boost last episode. Oops. Wish I had known Tatum would be on this one. I sent him a pleb miner sticker (or I guess Jon did) and he put it on the S9 he had. Could see it in a few interviews he had.

10k I just don’t even know what to think until Dennis Porter gives his BREAKING opinion or JUST IN news. I will keep my eyes peeled on the timeline for notifications of a DPP!
Coremmunists seem like who I want to support over the Knotzis. But let’s not forget that in WWII it was the USA-led Heroic Operatives Defending Liberty who won the war! Just don’t know yet if the HODL Alliance is going to team up with the Knotzis this time or the Coremmunists again but they can HFSP I’m just going to HODL and listen to 40 HPW...

6k One day Piez and I will meet and I will be humbled by trying to overcome his boost credentials. Frequency over volume is key. I can't steal his valor or his Bitcoin productivity with my pBTC bullshit. It's wrongthink to consider my paper pioneer version of a non-binary booster could ever surpass Piez the Pleb non-custodial emojis. Long live the Pleb!

6k “Antiswanitism" used without credit? My favorite Bitcoin power couple is Rod and Dick and they are not giving credit to me for coining that term!? You owe ME a fountain boost now but the future certainly doesn't have good UX.....

100k 100k sats to the Bugle’s legal defense fund.
Podconf and rhe DOJ are working together to suppress opposition, stifle free speech, and maintain control of the Bitcoin space. Their actions attempt to curb The Bugle’s fundamental right to call truth to power is an attack on all Plebs.
BTW is this donation tax deductible?

50k ☕️CONGRATS ON THE FIRST EPISODE OF SOUND COFFEE!!! 👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾
One of the ways I like to imagine the Meshtadel is as a charming, ye olde, cobblestone paved town square. Now we have a lovely, cozy coffee shop in the town square to meet at 6AM and plan our days together, catch up on the town’s happenings, and bond with one another.
I look forward to having many cups of Otis Bitmeyer coffee with other Meahtadelians both physically and metaphysically.

6k Mechanic thinks y’all are mainstream media? I’ve been recently seeing the term “slop” and even “pleb slop” spill over from Bitcoin Twitter into the normie side of twitter. So maybe your sheer journalistic prowess has shocked him so much he can’t help but just blurt out MAINSTREAM MEDIA! Keep up the good work Dick/Rod!

21k The strength of the Meshconomy will be Meshtadelians trading hard money for goods, and services with other members who truly understand the value prop in participating in the circular plebconomy. Replacing everyday household items with pleb made goods will bring more than enough value to the consumer to justify the potential higher price of said goods and services.

6k Creed is top notch pleb slop! I like some pleb slop on occasion. Like Friday beers in the garage blaring Creed or catching up on your #40HPW. Sometimes the Bugle is pleb slop but it knows it is... So it's ironic and it's ok. It's like a cosmic gumbo. It moves to the beat of jazz.

21k I say this from a middle aged, blue collar, middle class perspective… We are a one income family, by design. We’ve always been able to make ends meet while prioritizing the upbringing of our children over wealth. Now that we are to the point where we’re in wealth building mode for the next phase of life, I’m glad we have Bitcoin and my mining projects. For me it won’t be a Cantillon rent seeker strategy, but more blue collar hustle, as I know no other way.

I should have boosted a lot more than 100 sats for the amount of effort it took you to read my last comment. I got a good chuckle out of it, and appreciate you taking the time 😂 So is Frostr a derivative of Frost? (No, I still haven’t read up on it)
