RABBIT HOLE RECAP #398: BITCOIN IS THE BEST MONEY

Thanks for all you do

Thank you for the signal

If you don’t want to spend your bitcoin than you have way too much fiat. Great quote. Great rip gentlemen.

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

Great rip guys

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

Hilarious and thought provoking

FREEDOM

As a larp with chauffeur knowledge.. trying to become less and less so I must say this podcast episode definetly puts some noise in the signal of quantum computing this and quantum computing that in cryptography privacy and bitcoin discusssions. I think what you guys provide is a good starting point with someone who did some calc and stats and algebra in college but doesn’t want to bite the bullet for going back for a whole degree in it.

Continued love from the Seattle crew

Great rip!! 🫡👍🏻

Pod keeping it real discussion wise in the #40HPW space. A bitcoin podcast episode that isn’t really a Bitcoin podcast episode. Signal here for being bullish on life! Definitely some real value here.

🔥🔥🔥 the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson is the best modern fantasy series, fight me

Nostr sneak peek ftw, great idea

Great conversation! Mandrik has a fascinating story.

I worked for a year at a PE roll up of wood related business (wood pellets, chips, sawmills) AMA.

Trying not to be cringe with my boost.. this podcast always seems to offer what I hear as important sovereign perspectives that don’t always play into the narrative of plebslop. It’s plays true to the core ethos of don’t trust, verify.

Wore the “Bugle News” red shirt in Vegas

Hugs are underrated

Next year hug inbound!!

Pleb slop reflection: Bitcoin has already won. It’s the optimal base-layer money. We just need to build the layers on top to bring those properties to the world. No force required — just make it available as an opt-in parallel system. The painful path to low time preference is TBD. Fiat is opt-in too, but the entities in charge hide that fact. They’ll make your life harder while selling convenience as the “easy” choice.

Meant to zap 1000 sats

1000

1000% agree. Reminder that the thing to be bullish on is life and the people around you, not just bitcoin.

👍🏻👍🏻🤣

Last 15mins was A+

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.

Bear markets are for building !!!! Great convo as always!

Great ep!

Inflation narrative is the one to make Bitcoin rise the most quickly… paradoxical we want the price to go up but that generally speaking means that much more inflation has taken place so the want for it to stay at 60K forever is better for everyone… trippy stuff!!!

I like the signal of the end of the bear market being Saylor selling a large chunk of coin. And I’m trying to get in the mindset of this crabwalking downhill market from October last year taking much longer than anticipated. Much like fundamental’s saying that the fiat regime is gonna take a lot longer than we expect to “end the fed” just some pleb trinket the Mary like everything else.

Seattle BTC crew loves ya back!

Banger of an episode! As a casual listener to the Motivate the Math and Magic Internet Math when you guys were talking about the concept of orthogonal within a matrix, in respect to linear algebra, it had me wondering if the concept applies to finite fields as well or perhaps the concepts are one and the same... still tons to learn! Anyways from the concept of something being almost an external stimulus, I.e. being orthogonal in nature.. how many things throughout human’s evolution have been orthogonal to the momentary schema of existence…? @npub12eml5kmtr… ‘s your unpopular opinion about the “crutches” of that were supposed to evolve to lean on to expand human progress perhaps is a 10000 foot view of present state with technological advancement where we are now. More or less the same thing happened multiple times in the last two centuries with the Industrial Revolution, with transportation and means of producing goods, and the silicon age of widespread computing. What will a finite digital hard money and intelligent auto-complete-technology(AI) that you can adapt to whatever field to get productivity gains do for the future…? I feel like you @npub1z9hy7a0n8… in terms of trying to minimize needing AI as crutches to do things trivially but we do already have so many crutches and rely on them! I think we’re on the precipice of a new schema of reality in interaction in the world around us and we’re still just scratching the surface…

👍🏻👍🏻

I think there’s a link between Nostr vibes - it being declared dead and bitcoin price being low. V4V will still persist. Finding a real signal in the Bugle 🫡particularly in easy stacking times!

What does Dr. Jack Kruse say about boosting? Is it good for your health? I think it is as you are supporting the V4V community which we all know with our low time preference that we know BTC has already won. Zaps in the most valuable currency in the world show how much we value 40HPW knowledge.

Purity tests and pure trust in an entity claiming authority by association to hard money aren’t the way! Well said!!! Red teaming is part of why immutable permissionless open source monetary architecture will be so successful. Despite the bear in fiat terms, the community coming together after what will be noted in history of as one of the most important battles for self custody, and likely the start of more to come, is majorly bullish for Bitcoin!!
