Burnout, Banter, Breaches & BIPs | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 74

10 days since an episode!? Rod, tell Greaser to stop drinking in Vegas and record a pod! I guess I can catch up on my antiwar.com pods and my Ron Paul weekly reports while y'all push button slots in Vegas with the boomercons...

Sometimes I don't know what to say in my boost. But I feel compelled to do so. I thought about skipping but I'm curious if you will read boosts in this next week show you were teasing... Anyway, here's some more sats for providing me entertainment at work.

I think I will trust the Bugle that I shouldn't trust the Bugle. Should I trust myself? 🤔

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!

Stay warm boys! Hope y'all are doing well during this freeze and able to plug in some Bitaxes to help secure the network! 🫡

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.

😘

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...

As always, incredible TA.

Awwwwww yeahhhhhhh #40HPW

Similar to the old bumper stickers saying "keep honking I'm reloading" y'all could print one that says "keep shitcoining, I'm reloading" or as Toby Keith would say "we'll put a boot in your shotcoiner ass, it's the Bitcoiner way"

Nice song, "Truth gets buried beneath the noise" #40hpw

I signed up for Fountain premium and was awarded by error messages and not being able to subscribe anymore. Top tier UX! I like the reference to the Black Mirror episode of the attack dogs. I mentioned that on a boost a while back. Might have been a different show I was boosting. One of my favorite episodes of that show (and most terrifying)

Some balls are held for charity And some for fancy dress But when they're held for pleasure They're the balls that I like best

I thought @npub1s4t5da3x5… was just a credentialed journalist, but he's got some music writing talent. Not sure what it says about me that I'll consume slop to earn sats so I can boost?

“Everything is part of the retarded mess. Everything is part of everything.” Great episode boys! And the song at the beginning actually gave me some real peace on a stressful day. Keep fighting the good fight against the slop! Also, please pray to Satoshi that the price goes back up.... 🤣

Haven't finished yet, but what I'm getting from this episode is be more like Bilbo Baggins. Read the terms, go on the adventure. Don't let your perceived size, or the threat of death stop you. Using courage and wisdom, blended in measure. Valuing food and cheer and song above hoarded gold and power. And for Richard, smoking a good pipe.

Flying Man!

I’m glad you certified that summer starts Memorial Day weekend! I look forward to my weekly glazing until then! Tell Bibi I said I earned it and he can check my credentials himself! But why won't the glazings continue after MDW?

I can’t believe Fundamentals was on this show and y’all didn’t even read my boost! I think Fountain removed me as a subscriber - I guess I need to fix that.... I also didn’t expect a conversation about “unfamiliar footwear” but I’m here for it!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great to hear y’all and sounds like all the hugs were worth the trip alone! Wish I had been there to give you a hug too! Good thing Dennis Porter didn’t get close enough for a hug or you would have poked him in the leg! Y’all didn’t say anything about the RHR Hotstyle Takeover. Sounded like they turned your mics on mute and only gave you soundboard permissions!

🧡⚡️💜

Great conversation! Keep up the good work gents! And my boost amount is not demonic! Greaser and Palmer understood it immediately! It's just stupid teenage boy shit. I would boost 58008 but I didn't buy Bitcoin in 2010... I need to order some Peony Lane wine now!

Spilling coffee is the adult equivalent of losing your balloon 🎈

YOU DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS DEWEY! Thank you for the reminder of this movie! Can't believe Business Cat doesn't know... Also, yes, he got very echoey in the middle of the episode. Went away as randomly as it started!

Altered Carbon

This reminds me of a John Mulaney joke in one of his standups about midgets. In this case it’s “He’s calling me a pleb! That’s worse than the N-Word” “Well, first of all... no.... and second, you know how I know which word is worse? You are saying one of those words but you are not saying the other word. That other word is probably the worser word!” I honestly don’t understand this whole BIP-110 thing - curious where I should go to even hear about it. What podcaster has actually explained it without their thumb on the scale? I wasn’t here for the block size wars but a bit concerned about this current thing. Plebs are always grumpy about the “current thing” - Maybe I’m not the pioneer I thought I was.... My fat white ass was certainly not deported - I’m just a retard and forgot to boost. But y’all also aren’t reading off any thank you to your subscribers anymore!

Plebphobia

Missed boosting the last few episodes. Can't miss the Bugle show. Really appreciate all 4 of y'all! Keep up the good work, the good coffee, the good reporting, and the good discussion!

Increase you #40HPW🎧by 69% in 2026

I think this was one of your best sponsors! Hope you can keep working with them long term. Also the song at the end!

Don't be too grumpy that super duper sports bowl is over... NASCAR is just around the corner!

Did Stranger Things manifest these broccoli haircuts? 🥦💇‍♀️

😵‍💫I can't believe I forgot to boost again.... Hope y'all had a great thanksgiving! Dick Greaser is married?!? Anyway, I've been listening to Linkin Park lately. I guess Maria Carey is coming up soon.... Keep up the good work bois!

This made my head spin. Incredible product here. I'm going to have to listen again. Still unsure what is real.

TIMMEEEHHH

I love this song

Boosting to the void! But number goes up!

Boost!

The Entropy Crisis is pushing us towards Entropyism.

"give me entropy or give me death" Or maybe "let them have entropy" -Marie Antoinette (probably)

What is the benefit of having big balls? Doesn’t that make them more likely to be squashed or pinched?

Sorry about the near-crash out Dick! Hope y’all have the best time at LS! Can’t wait to hear next week’s episode/update! Give everyone a hug from me! I’m always open for a call if y’all are around and wanna just give me shit! Hopefully I can answer! I love where I live but I do wish that we were a reasonable driving distance to LS. I know Bubba drives his hog all the way across the country to get there but he’s an old retired boomer with nothing better to do! Y’all smoke some extra cigs for me!

Have a lovely time at LS

I feel so bad we aren't coming to LS this year! I'm going to miss out on all these connections but have to keep telling myself my family comes first and bringing my whole clan was just not possible this time. Y'all have a wonderful time! Y'all's discussions about these opportunities to contribute are so hard at such a distance! I'll really miss the chance to maybe be part of a podcast episode! Y'all give each other plenty of hugs since I won't be there to do so myself! I feel the same way Phundamentals does about events being over. It's a psychological condition and sometimes I feel like I build up so excitement for events that I don't even actually enjoy the event itself! Y'all lock in and focus on the moment. You are correct that once it's gone, it's gone forever...

I am sometimes naked whilst listening to podcasts.

Have fun at Lake Satoshi! Sorry I won't be there this year! 😢

Boop

Keep up the good work gents! Really enjoy y'all's discussions and it's holding me over until I can get back to Lake Satoshi and listen to Rev speak his mind about all the things he has bouncing around in there! And hopefully someone will start boosting from South Alabama or Florida panhandle area with a meetup.

In early so y'all actually read this next week. It wasn't my fault Fountain locked me out of my wallet for a few weeks. 💩

Ty

Y’all need a diabetic advisor? Lemme know, I’ll be your Wilford Brimley... I expect I’ll have 1776 mosquito bites by July 3rd and then 2026 total by July 4th when the fireworks end! Place your bets!

250 mosquito bites on the 4th or you’re a gay fed.

All children should be given a killdozer for their 15th birthday so they get a year to practice before they turn 16!

Killdozers are for pioneers

Happy gayyyyyyyyyyyy month

I like the reference to Iris by Goo Goo Dolls! Keep up the good work boys!

Looking forward to seeing y’all at Lake Satoshi! I still need to plan our entire trip.... They have mosquitos up there? Nothing like we have in the South. I’ll bring the sunburn, no sunscreen, a voice for potential karaoke, and if we get attacked by something other than mosquitos then you know I’m the pudgy pleb who won’t be able to keep up. One last hug and then y’all can make your escape!

Thanks Goys

🧡💜🫂💜🧡

BREAKING: AIPAC ALIENS! What if the aliens don't bleed? There will be no blood for the tree of liberty.... Rod sounded sad this episode. Is everything OK buddy? I’ll karaoke a song with you at Lake Satoshi. I know my wife will sing a song too if someone has karaoke set up!
