Ben, if you see bears in the future, give them something they'd want instead of grapes. Picnic baskets.

A million times yes. Thank you for addressing this in the right way. You're one of the only podcasts that hasn't responded to Coinkite with yet more bad options. Very much excited that Learning Bitcoin From The Command Line is getting a new edition too -- long overdue.

Re:other nodes and making news, you're clearly not watching Eric Voskuil on Twitter. Libbitcoin 4 just did IBD in 14 minutes on a consumer connection (with assumevalid height of 950k) and 55 min for full validation. Older than Knots, and older than Core being called, well, Core. They slept for a good few years but are waking up with a vengeance.

Welcome back Walker, congrats on the bigger family Also, xpubs will only give unhardened addresses. That said, I expect a Venn diagram of people who didn't roll dice and people using hardened addresses is probably two separate circles.

This is sweet, thanks for covering this. Been getting excited listening to @npub1v25jqj332… talk about Stratum v2 for a while now. Nice to see it in action.

The outernet stuff you're looking for the name of is Reticulum I suspect. Works over lora, Bluetooth, wifi, TCP/IP, ham radio (illegally -- its encrypted), wires...pretty much whatever you want. FIPS is another cool one you should all look at. Turns your npub into an IPv6 address. Talk to @npub1dergggklk… and Max Hillebrand

One of the best WBD's yet. Dines' coverage of the Eurodollar mechanics here and the shift that happened with LIBOR to SOFR is something far too few people are talking about (Luongo notwithstanding).

One of the best podcasts on the technical sides of Bitcoin I've encountered. Helps explain why IBD is taking forever on my raspi 4.

What if Meetups doubled as community fundraisers? Structured as a non-profit partnering with local businesses to host events benefiting that community. As a way to marry Bitcoin and community ?

A hard fork WILL be what saved bitcoin, if it is saved. If only because of the 2106 problem requiring it.

ACK to more students coming out. Did you not hear @npub1fhmmgwe6f… say there's free food?😄 But seriously pushing the conversation back into classrooms and engaging other academics helps engage more valuable resources. Student engagement disporportionaly can help move the needle. Besides, the more you're into bitcoin when you're a student, the more you're retired when you're 45-50.

    https://www.ici.org/mmfs/current/16_mmf_reg_summ Money market funds do need to be short term debt instruments. No stock, no Bitcoin. My comment to my own comment (talking to myself) last time didn't make it through, so I did point out that banks CAN still make use of assets in money market funds by way of the repo market, but can't do the same with stablecoins which have to be 100% backed, based on my understanding. This seems to be the real rub -- stablecoins drain collateral from repo in much the way QE did. And if you'll recall, QE actually resulted in a fairly stagnant economy for most of the 2010's, as it doesn't mobilize those reserves it introduces unless there's a fiscal component. Stocks ran, sure, but main street lost a decade. I'll spare the book long rant but if this sparks curiosity I'd say check out some of Jeff Snider's work as it's not always intuitive how printing money at the bank can actually REDUCE broad money in circulation by removing the collateral the banks use to lend on.
