I Sold My Home for Bitcoin and Made 500% — Here's Why I'm Buying Real Estate in 2025 (JWP92)

Thanks for continuing to bring us consistent, balanced coverage on Bitcoin news. Still my fave show. My AI friend agrees that not only is your show “X” but it is “Y” lol. Even if the Core code change ends up being a bit of a nothing burger, I think a lot of users have been swayed to run Knots by the elitist heavy handedness the Core devs came across with. Shutting down discourse etc. That and Peter Todd’s supersized ego and smug face. Anyway here’s some sats. Thank you for the great content.

Fantastic episode @npub1clk6vc9xh… ! Good stuff. I think it behooves us all to get the rails in place BEFORE we need them. To be able to transact value and have seamless private conversion capability between BTC and whatever goods or currencies we need in a pinch, at any moment, on short notice.

Hey Dave good episode. Here’s a zap for this and some past episodes that I’ve been listening to while driving. Hey on the El Salvador thing, have you heard any comment from Max and Stacey? I’m wondering what their take is on what is effectively indefinite leadership. I’ve also been thinking based on Bukele seeming to be a solid leader, if maybe this is the only route he could see to stop the country falling back to the hell it was only 5 years ago under new leadership.

Great episode. My intro to your channel. I like the cut of your jib. @oshi is a cool dude.

Very thoughtful presentation of “normalcy as governance”. It’s an important topic. Having attended both the Ottawa convoy and the blockade of the highway in Coutts, I’ve seen what financial repression can do to families overnight.

Knowing the Australian government, they’re going to use the ruse of tax CGT refunds to create a nice handy registry of all Australian BTC owners, ready for when they implement an unrealized capital gains tax after the next pump. Don’t fall for it Aussie holders!

Hey Chris, digging the show. Got a bug in my ear about your podcast from @npub10mtatsat7… ‘s post on Nostr, and I like the way you present the latest news on what factors are influencing Bitcoin’s behaviour and adoption. Keep up the great work 🤙🏽

Brilliant

Wow, what an interesting and immaculately crafted episode. Your questions and the dialogue that arose as a result of them really crystallized my understanding of reputation and web of trust concepts. Pure Bitcoin. I’d say pure gold but that metaphor is so 2008. This content is fantastic @npub1clk6vc9xh…

Good show. It’s notable that neither the Square Bitcoin story nor the BRINGIN story about the Estonian tradfi integration project make any mention of the need for governments to loosen up on tax reporting rules and implementation of deminimus rules regarding spending Bitcoin. Seems like a good way to mass KYC people that have Bitcoin to spend. I dunno….

Damn what a banger episode Dave. You really encapsulated what so many people are feeling this week. The world feels like it’s on warp speed. Bracing myself for some 1960’s style civil disobedience. We are no longer represented in Congress and Parliaments in a way that it can be avoided. Buckle up.

Wow! Great episode, and Eric was a super interesting and knowledgeable guest @dannyknowles .This one is worth a second listen. There was so much info jammed in here I felt like Neo after he learned Kung Fu in a single download.

Great episode, despite the somber mood that has settled across the land. It’s hard not to be affected by it. Thanks for bringing us stories that the legacy media is intentionally suppressing, and for calling out their gross embellishments and glaring omissions. Have a great Friday

Fun episode. Made me laugh out loud a couple of times on my way back from a distant work site. Sun’s letter was hilarious. And the ECB story gave me a real Pimpy in my Cippilone. Have a good weekend Dave.

Good episode. Thank you sir.

Hey Chris, great episode. I think your rebuttal of JL’s criticisms of Bitcoin was right on point. Another thing to consider is that, even for someone born in 1971, it was still 1989 before that person left high school, 1992-1994 before they exited post-secondary, and perhaps another ten years after that before their income achieved a level that started generating any positive flow. Especially if student debt was part of the equation. By 2004 we were already only 4 years short of the GFC. The last group of people that made it ten years into their careers before the Nixon shock were born in 1937. Makes your head spin.

Awesome episode. The points discussed don’t just defend Bitcoin, but put on their heads so many of the ideas and definitions that have become norms in the fight against fiat. Hyperbitcoinization is really already here in many ways. And so is hyperinflation.

Great thesis. Highly likely. Banks and fund managers” and banks’ financial engineer’s incentives make it nearly certain. And the powers that be won’t blame the speculators. They will blame Bitcoin, providing justification for a 1602.

Great episiode @npub15879mltll… . A sobering and informative look at the realities of exercising 2A rights and what ensues after using deadly force. Anyone who carries or has firearms for home defence owes it to themselves and those who depend on them to give this a listen!

Joey doesn't even know how to zap

It’s so cool that you guys started a show. Congrats.

Great show @dannyknowles. Nick sure knows his stuff.

Nailed it.

Great episode. And really great point Mr. Sellers made….in the time it took most of us to come to grips with fractional reserve banking, it has been replaced by zero reserve banking.

One of the best episodes yet, Shawn.

A lot of people weighing in on the core vs knots debate are totally missing the point when it comes to the impact of the potential inclusion of CSAM to the Bitcoin blockchain. It’s not the potential inclusion of this data and imagery to the blockchain that is the threat. It’s what Bitcoin’s enemies DO with the knowledge of the potential inclusion of such material to the blockchain that is the threat. You know, the same people that have claimed that Bitcoin will boil the oceans and that it uses the same amount of electricity as a small country with every transaction? Absolute wizards. Unnecessarily altering the most important innovation in Human history since the harnessing of electricity. #runknots

@cedyougelman A great reasoned take on the Core vs Knots debate, that makes it pretty clear what side of the fence node runners should land on.

As a Canuck i feel personally attacked ₿y calling our fiat “Moose Schekels” its a G8 currency known as the “Loonie” #twonnie #loonie

We need to flee our nation before our houses are priced higher than ever but worthless. @npub1s63scxcxw… calls it right.
