Quantum Computers Don't Exist w/ Brandon Black

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.

After several years of continuing to reduce my participation in the fiat system, those who have stuck with me have given up on trying to drag me back into the system. They still don't really understand what the ideals I'm striving for though.

Extraction creates disconnection, unification is love, consensus governance is unification, Bitcoin is loving. To stop participating in extraction and to more deeply participate in unification, is how Bitcoin fixes this.

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

I take every opportunity to listen to @npub1s4t5da3x5… he's go his finger on the pulse. I wake up every morning excited for the day, there is no room for nihilism or blackpills.

👍🏻👍🏻🤣

Big time meetup discussion on this recording. The power of meetups is continuing to be exemplified. Find your local meetup and if there isn't one start one! #40hpw

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!!!

One of the best @npub1kqrddzzl6… episodes! Definitely add this one to your queue. #40hpw

I will spend the rest of my days searching for the mother of all nodes. #40hpw

If @npub12eml5kmtr… is a credentialed journalist, @npub1563z6kxmv… should hire him. Hope everyone appreciates this episode as much as I do.

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…

Given my situation, I am considering renting glaze (even if it's at a loss) to make sure enough glaze is directed towards what I believe in.

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.

🤣🤣🤣

@npub15c88nc8d4… is already evidence of AGI

Proof of #40hpw on onlyboosts.social

A shining example of why this is one of the best Bitcoin podcasts out there. Deep thoughts continue long after listening.

Does the ammorality of Bitcoin, it being money for friends and enemies alike, result in a new paradigm different than the saying the root of all evil is money?

👍🏻👍🏻

Very good to hear the stories on the ground directly from cold card users. I can only imagine the anxiety levels.

Great rip👍🏻

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!!

Sounds like the conference was good, might be onto something with pleb daycare. #40hpw

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.

Yes Luke Jim Jones was something you guys said two episodes ago from a boost and you guys didn’t know who or what it was in reference to. Stay Ungovernable!

Very cool that HRF is recognizing Nostr as a worthwhile avenue for freedom. Nostr is the killer Bitcoin app, Nostr keys are Bitcoin keys after all. #40hpw

Cool website, thanks

Early boost: QnA is already his pseudonym- he answers questions and answers 🤙

New site looks fantastic! Check out localbitcoiners.com for some examples on how to use Nostr to integrate the community into the site. There are feeds of events, market place, long form content and podcasts the community is supporting. When checking out on market place items, the communication is directly between the merchant and the customer, very cool stuff.

I love the idea that if the mission to the moon was a failure they were ready to fake it. That makes a lot of sense as there is so much evidence suggesting both are true. We went to the moon and we also faked it.

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!

Rock, Paper, Bitcoin is an essential pod for your #40hpw. Always high signal!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

AI generated podcasts will suck

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.

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.

Every pioneer, a podcaster.

Great vibes

👍🏻👍🏻💯

@npub1emdtsxly9… dealt the death blow in my maxi madness matchup against Jack Dorsey. I held the lead for the majority of the round but burned all my social capital early on leaving me vulnerable to Robs maxi boost of 21k. I had fun and according to @npub1s4t5da3x5… the true winners are the ones having the most fun so take that giggler.

Lfg!!!!

High entropy sources of cultural capital are more important than ever.

Not sure if @npub10uthwp4dd… is gone forever. @npub1sk7mtp67z… is still posting but also haven’t seen if Citadel Dispatch is going to post more content. Listening to any individual one of these podcasts as your sole source of one’s information in this sphere is essentially like trusting a on device entropy generator for one’s entropy in information, there is some good information there but it by itself leaves one vulnerable to prompt injection. Best practice: listen to a variety of podcasts that don’t all say the same thing. Get some entropy with the @npub1563z6kxmv… , mix in some @npub1jcympy69p… , @npub1kqrddzzl6… , any one of @npub12eml5kmtr… ‘s Phish or math podcasts, DO NOT MISS hellmoney, then add some Bitcoin Matrix or Bitcoin Infinity show or even BitcoinAudible some @npub1vzjukpr2v… or some @npub10qrssqjsy… and even some Pompliano / Jordy Visser stuff from YouTube and then take a look at poly market at predictions and then one can say successfully they have a multivendor multisig of information inside the Bitcoin world.

Can’t wait to try this!

Very much looking for what people end up doing with #archipelago nodes. Seems like the perfect fit for local bitcoin communities. The Meshtadel has inspired so much innovation! #40hpw #valuechain

Nostr is the place where bitcoiners build cultural capital uninhibited. Don't sleep on nostr, it's power has yet to be truly recognized. #40hpw #valuechain

Hopeful on local models. One must learn to cook using the toolbox of local models vs use the fast food version (Anthropic). Currently a hybrid approach seems to work pretty well. Doing some prompt engineering through a model like Grok on what you want to do and how to tell an agent running on local models to do that job. I built a functional Nostr client as a chrome extension using Qwen 3.6 27B after prompt engineering with a cloud model.

So much food for thought in this episode. Definitely holds the mirror up for ones own self evaluation of their sincerity and integrity when trying to live a Bitcoin integrated lifestyle. Spiritual capital was also a big topic of discussion which is refreshing. What is a bitcoiner anyway? #40hpw #valuechain

@npub12eml5kmtr… you’re offering a great reality check in the noise of plebslop! What you’re doing is so important right now!! It’s such a great perspective to hear you talk to younger guys like SlyGoomba who’re crashing out or who were all in and putting their lives on hault to stack sats hard AF. The self resentment that becomes apparent during bear cycles when we went all in and what do we have to show for it.. this episode is a good reminder to love that version of ourselves that went all in.

This was a fun listen. #40hpw

Sweet episode! I don’t always listen to Back on the Chain but this one hits me deep almost akin to the ride of a psychedelic experience where it goes from you guys talking about some funny crazy stories when you were younger to being alright with yourself and truly loving oneself and even the stoicism.

👍🏻👍🏻

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!

Just got done at the Heatpunk Summit! Feeling bullish on decentralizing mining!!! Stack sats stay warm!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hilarious and thought provoking

Meant to zap 1000 sats

Plebs become pioneers by participating in their local Bitcoin culture. @npub1cvcgs83gw… is the podcast where the plebs can find out about Bitcoin meetups and the pioneers can learn how to start one. Hyperbitcoinization is a local phenomena.

Hero series has been awesome

🤣🤣🤣 Plebs segregating themselves is pretty hilarious
