Show Notes

In this episode, I sit down with Seth, the builder behind Zap Cooking, to unpack how a simple idea—sharing recipes on Nostr—grew into a full-stack, food-first social experience with zaps, a built-in self-custody wallet, social feeds, AI cooking tools, and a peer‑to‑peer marketplace. We trace the project’s roots from early “Nostr Cooking” experiments to today’s Zap Cooking at zap.cooking, talk through why value-for-value matters, and how Bitcoin-native payments are changing what it means to “like” something online. We also explore onboarding and UX lessons from the wider Nostr ecosystem, wallet and zap UX (NIP‑57), and the...

An excellent episode with the RPB team, and without a doubt my favorite with a guest. A lot of great chemistry with the guest this time. It was great getting to hear BC and AG back and forth about their military experience. I really appreciated the talk on the VFWs. I'll be sharing this episode with some folks. Keep it up, guys! #buyfundamentalsbook

One of the most interesting episodes produced. The back and forth of the dialogue between npub1z9hy7a0n8zxnhgrcew2nnkr4sx6sum07exve99pqq30leujye3usgd858n and npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g as they not so much argue, but try to break down their use of language to meet an understanding on the complex idea that is 'enlightment'. I found myself going back and forth agreeing with one speaker and then rapidly finding myself agreeing with the other. It's as if I had an understanding yet not exactly, but the purity of the desire for truth kept me constantly intrigued. This is an episode I would mark in npub1kqrddzzl6xng2wn0n0eyyjnf6smwmtp8m5atetzjw7vqyngwrphs4ye5xu's top five. I'll give it some time, but I plan to listen to this episode again. Sidenote: I loved Fundamental's use of examples such as Larry Bird and The Fountainhead sparked me up with joy.

Edgar Cayce describes the purpose of life as the continual achievement of ones highest ideal. The challenge is that this ideal changes and transforms as one walks the path towards an ideal. Plato's Cave is probably a fractal.

Another great listen. 1. Great point of the amorality of Bitcoin. 2. Christ above all. 3. RIP Charlie Kirk 4. I'm looking forward to more of @npub1z9hy7a0n8… future content that he was teasing.

We are building culture with Bitcoin and Nostr. Using permaculture is very effective at growing and hardening the culture as it follows the path of succession. #permaculture

Looking forward to hearing more episodes. Bitcoiners cooperatively building capital and preparing for apocalyptic natural disaster is productive work. I will continue to build my local meshtadel and am always looking for inspiration and guidance.

A conversation between two of the first Bitcoiners I ever had the pleasure of meeting in person. I always love getting to hear and learn more about npub1ec7rqh20d00pqc9uxxf7ruv0xcvah0vexzpd5kpcl46yj84pme4suggn5k's farming journey.

Keep it up you guys! Now that you've hit that five episodes mark I'm gonna do as I previously planned and relisten to them all. There's still more than plenty that is going over my head, but sometimes one or both of you will say something about math, and I have a light bulb moment that makes me look at my reality differently. Looking forward to seeing the videos. I hope you post them to the npub using Nostr services.

An episode about God and Connection. So many thoughts spawned from listening to @npub12eml5kmtr… and have this incredible conversation. I'm having a paradym shift focused on Love. Thank you for the love. As far as I'm aware, this is the first time npub1ew4qeq576v3vz4gukeseknqghx3x4jtlld8ftys9amrca6f3xfzsrm8jpd has been mentioned on a podcast. So unbelievably grateful @npub1z9hy7a0n8…

This was an excellent episode. I personally think I've been disappointed by some of the more recent episodes. It wasn't that they were bad in any way I can point out, but they just didn't have that magic that I listen to this podcast for. This episode made me have that same feeling that hooked me in when I started listening to RPB. I LOVED IT. There are some who bow down and answer the calls of men and their laws. Then there are great men who only bow down and answer the call of God.

Another great session. A lot of new terms for me to learn. My hope is @npub12eml5kmtr… and @npub160t5zfxal… will continue to discuss certain areas, terms, etc. about Mathematics. I'll continue to listen to each episode individually as they come out. When the podcast hits five episodes I'll plan to listen through again and take notes so that I can better understand the concepts discussed. Similar to my approach to reading a textbook. Fast and rough the first time through. Second time through is slower and precise. Thanks again, gentlemen! Please keep it up!

This year at Lake Satoshi, I think it's safe to say, the meshtadel truly went from concept to reality. From here on out, it's now about building it and making it stronger. I'm looking forward to more Bitcoiners joining us.

Calling all local Bitcoiners, you can pick up Otis Bitmeyer coffee direct at meetups in the Michigan meshtadel network! Come hang with me at The South Bend Indiana Bitcoin Meetup, the first Thursday every month at Lang Lab, 630pm. Learn something, earn something, share something, buy something, build relationships and resilience with local Bitcoiners.

This was a nice break from the first seven episodes so far. They still got into it with the Logarithms in the last third of the episode, but it gave me some (I can't find the right words for it) 'Necessary Comfort' to get to hear both of these guys talk about some of the why as to what the aim is with these conversations and more importantly sharing them. I know that I'm not the only one who is supporting this, but to bring you guys some 'necessary Comfort', I will stay with you on this ride. I'm grateful, and knew from the first episode that these are some important ideas/perspectives I need at this time in my life.

I have theory: Every time these guys get together to record an episode of Motivate the Math it turns out to be an awesome breakdown of the language of reality. Proof: 1(npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9)+1(npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g)="Awesome Breakdown of the Language of Reality" See! The math always works out! Every single time! My favorite part of this episode was near the end as npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g explains how Mathematics is a liberal art and not a science. It caught me off guard a little, but listening to the way he explains it in terms of Humanity made me begin to understand the point he was making. It's definitely something I'll be pondering.

I'll be sharing this with some folks who are new or less educated in the Bitcoin space. Excellent job!

I agree completely that this idea of "fix the money, fix the world" has to begin from the individual. "Fix the money, fix the world" is a meme, a nugget of cultural capital. Fix the money, fix the world is simply an ideal not a formula. And by sharing this meme, Fix the Money, Fix the World, it's a short, compact way of communicating that ideal. It's a way for Bitcoiners to come into alignment culturally that Bitcoin will be used for the benefit of all.

I miss an episode and it's the one you guys give a massive shout out to @npub1cvcgs83gw… ! This is the #valuechain, high velocity exchange builds capital, especially if that exchange causes a chain reaction of capital to propagate. Not just financial capital (btc) but also intellectual, experiencial, social, cultural, spiritual, ect. This is how the world we want to live in gets built by participation and cooperation, big or small. The key right now is velocity in my opinion.

This entire podcast is loaded with valuable takeaways. Worth listening to twice. So damn good! Personally I resonated with the discussion on producing high quality consumable products that can't be recreated because nature is intimately involved. I feel the same way about breeding and growing cannabis.

I was called to Bitcoin during a meditation, I had barely even heard of Bitcoin. It didn't make sense but I went down the rabbit hole very deep and very fast. Definitely a sigma Bitcoiner for that reason, something higher was guiding me to Bitcoin. P.S. Thanks for listening to @npub1cvcgs83gw… Podcast too! So cool to build cultural capital through podcasting together!
