SW016 - Chapter 5 Part 5

Spicy Episode! Love it. Lots to chew on.

Spicy Epiaode. Love it. Lots to chew on.

Feels like a controlled demolition

I have ADHD and use podcasts and audiobooks to help me focus at work, video just distracts me and so I never use it. That being said if others would like video I'd have no issue with it so long as you remain an audio first show. I've given up on a few long time listens due to the hosts moving to a video first mindset and making the audio a waste of time to listen to, I'd hate to see that happen to TWIB. tl;dr: Video is a fine addition, as long as you keep an audio first mindset.

Heard it on the This Week in Bitcoin podcast.

First, enjoy the vacation, it's well deserved. Second on Ace's thought on the Amazon coin, I agree with his assessment but I think the real play will be the interest. They will treat the Amazon coin like a gift card where you deposit money with the company and redeem it later, and in that in-between time the company is accruing interest. Starbucks is rivaling some banks with their gift card interest bearing holdings and I'm sure Amazon is not far behind them.

TWIB all the way!

Nooooo! You can’t sunset TWIB. It’s clear you put a ton of effort into the show. The sound effects are fun and all that but it must be very time consuming. I would prefer many more episodes of TWIB but maybe ease up on the effort it takes to polish it up so nice? It’s worth the trade off. Your news choices and opinions are very valuable.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks for calling out my banker Prime Minister on his speech at the WEF. Your passion tripled my boost amount.

Banger of a conversation.

Wholly great conversation. And some good laughs. A new and improved HODL Hang. Thanks guys.

Say what you will regarding channeled material - there is certainly a lot of garbage out there, but I have found some fascinating stuff. In line with this episode, and a recent episode of “The Path to Bitcoin” podcast (regarding “Quantized Time”) I am reminded of the following summary (courtesy of Grok) of Ramon Stevens channel of Alexander from the book “Conscious Life: Creating Your Reality”: (I boosted this same comment to relevant The Parh to Bitcoin episode) Chapter 3: The Primal Pulse (The Quantization of Time and Successive Appearances) • The universe doesn’t exist continuously—it is recreated fresh and new in every moment by the “primal pulse,” a rhythmic beat from a divine Source. • Your world (and all physical reality) “blinks on and off” in a constant pulsing dance, like frames in a film. • Time emerges from this pulse: The fundamental unit of time is the “primal moment” between pulses. All longer durations (seconds, years) are built on these discrete beats. • Space and time are inseparable, born from the same “womb” (the pulse). Each pulsation carries charge and pattern to the primal cells, sparking the next “version” of the universe. • This creates the illusion of continuous matter and motion, but at the deepest level, reality is quantized and successive—matter “appears” anew with each pulse, sustained by the ongoing vibrational transmission.{link: {link: https://fountain.fm/episode/vp6SQo9wqckuyBpiMOJo, hit: {_id: vp6SQo9wqckuyBpiMOJo, _guid: https://thepathtobitcoin.com/?p=5593, _origin: FOUNTAIN, _type: EPISODE, info: {title: Episode #184 – On the Same Page, subtitle: The Path to Bitcoin, publisher: Anon, description: , image: , rss: , audio: https://traffic.libsyn.com/thepathtobitcoin/Episode185_Pape…, duration: 2303, published: 2026-02-19T09:11:18.000Z, payable: false, start: , end: }, links: [show:id:0lpHT2GtEeOCLKRO83OR, show:guid:415a3445-758a-50d3-850c-d7b57a5b05c0]}}}

Great summary Forrest. My first job in 1986 was $3.65/hr.

PS I don’t mind George taking about his giant watermelon b@ll$, but if I hear about eternal ritches and big t!tt¥ b!t€h£s one more time…..

Great Converation ladies. I’m a 55 YO female in the space - didn’t know this was the “smallest” demographic. Interesting to learn. Also - I absolutely loved “Old Man Yells”. I learned so much from Bob and ate every episode up. I was honestly a little disappointed to see “Bitcoin Boomers” because it signaled to me that OMY was to be no more. Every episode was so well thought out and so valuable. I have started following and listening to BB as well. It isn’t quite the same as it seems a bit rambly. But I love Bob - and Larry too. Sorry don’t know Gary that well. I like hearing of the plans for BB though. Sounds like there will be more focussed discussions in the future!

42 seems like the perfect episode to boost for the first time using sats sent from my self hosted alby mode hosted on my start9 pure to my fountain wallet. Sorry I've been away and unable to boost but start9 had a sale going and I was stacking every day I could to take advantage of it and then I ran into some technical difficulties during my server setup, let's be honest mostly between the keyboard and chair. Good to be back and self sovereign. And I'm honor of episode 42, don't forget your towel!

Boost!

Podcasts Really Matter.

I was pro Bitcoin prior to this, but operation choke point was what turned me into a Bitcoin hardliner. Also first boost from my start 9 Alby hub connected to fountain. It took several sessions with ChatGPT to figure out the issues but if you're reading this then it finally worked.

"I'm assuming Home Assistant here" Insert Picard facepalm here....I only left out the important detail. Yep I'm switching to HA. Update on mom using Mint, she's trying it on a live USB and so far is positive about it, she likes that it looks and feels like Win7. She's still not ready to take the plunge, but I'm on the lookout for one of those Win10 laptops people are getting rid of when moving to Win11 and then I'll just do a full install so she can try the full experience before making the switch... she needs a new laptop anyway, two netbirds with one gemstone/S.

MadTV was superior to SNL, lower my expectations is a nice nostalgia hit, just wish it didn't signify low boost amounts.

While I do believe that the establishment Democrats are anti-bitcoin, I don't think the El Salvador investigation is just about the use of Bitcoin. While I'm sure the use of Bitcoin is a factor it may just be a convenient way to mask their true intention of driving a wedge between El Salvador and the current administration over the migrant detention center. Then again this is the Dems we're talking about so they may just have their "Bitcoin bad" blinders on and are just taking any opportunity to attack Bitcoin.

Congratulations on episode 60!

Wicked good show. Have a good trip. No spam on the chain.

Note to self, don't use the auto suggestions for names..... sorry Brent. As for why truckers have migrated to GMRS, the stated reason is better audio quality being FM rather than CB's AM, antennas generally come pre-tuned, and slightly better range. The unstated reason, since the late 70's four wheelers were getting on the CB and messing things up for the drivers. So they switched to get away from them and the reasons stated above. Besides a license is just $35 and there's no test.

Bret, if you plan on doing any traveling with the van, and why have it if you're not, then I'd suggest a GMRS radio. Most truckers have switched from CB to GMRS and while you need a license to transmit, you can listen without a license. Also you have to build in a meshtastic node because.... reasons.

Production funding boost.

Just another boost

Dave, as a former business owner one hard lesson I had to learn was, trying to please everyone is a path to ruin. Sometimes you just have to be thick skinned, take ownership of a decision and tell the people who don't like it that they can either accept it or leave. They'll get mad, they'll threaten to leave, and 9 times out of 10 they'll quietly come back, and if they don't come back, then they weren't right for the vision of the project. Look after yourself first brother.
