Too Soft To Fork? | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 68

Often, in hindsight, the journey is the destination.

🍻

Fundamentals is a suitcoiner now?! Lol I also enjoy wearing something that promotes people talking to you. I've found this ridiculous mustache also triggers conversation where someone may not otherwise talk to me. It's like an unspoken icebreaker.

👍🏻👍🏻

The conviction of the pioneer is not so easily shaken. Most issues around Bitcoin are laughably inconsiquential to those building on the frontier. The further one separates from fiat the more free they will be.

Pioneer or die.

Keep pioneering!

High signal

👍🏻🫡 Thanks for the Fed acknowledgment, classy move

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

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!

Wore the “Bugle News” red shirt in Vegas

Hugs are underrated

Next year hug inbound!!

Interesting how the data on chain folks are the biggest maxis. #40hpw

I hate I'm not going to be able to make it to Vegas to hang with y'all. Give everyone a hug from me! (not that anyone really knows me - but some do!) Tell Marty I still appreciate his candor in Nashville. Odell, though, I'm still a bit saddened about his cold shoulder at "the Park" to me and my wife.

Noa Gruman Deep Fake Troll on Odell 🤣

👍🏻🫡👍🏻

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...

Let's not forget Bitcoin has already won, Bitcoin fixes this, and if you don't agree, zoom out and lower your time preference. It's going up forever, Laura.

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.

👍🏻👍🏻🫡

Keep up the good work gents! I almost crashed out yesterday paying my taxes. Barely afforded them this year. Hate I won't be able to see y'all at the Podconf Superbowl! Sounds like a fun event with RHR and Pubkey!

CHEERS TO THE BUGLE CREW! ESPECIALLY KRAYLEE 🔥😉 📯🚬 THANK YOU 🚬📯

👍🏻🫡

The biggest problem with the old way of podcasting is that the podcasters are monetizing thier audience by selling someone else's stuff via sponsorships. Podcasting 2.0 monetizes the actual value the podcast delivers. Start a podcast to sell your value not someone else's slop.

Every pioneer, a podcaster.

Great vibes

Noted: “Bitcoin Podcaster” it shall remain! I will default to our fearless generals - our podcasters. I really enjoyed listening to this episode of three Bitcoin Podcasters with completely real voices - true pioneers with the best voices in Bitcoin Podcasting. I think I owe you a response to a recent message, Dick, I’ll hopefully be able to get back to you soon!

👍🏻👍🏻💯

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.

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!

Hero series has been awesome

🤣🤣🤣 Plebs segregating themselves is pretty hilarious

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

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!

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

Big thanks to Sir Richard and Fundamentals for subbing in. Nice chat gentleman 🔥 Missed you Rod 🫡 catch you next time sir Cheers Gentleman

If you're not listening to @npub1563z6kxmv… , I highly recommend it. I look forward to every episode. #40hpw starts with Bugle Weekly podcast. What are some of the top pods in your queues?

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.

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!

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.

Missed a boost last week (and apparently the week before) when I was traveling to my sister’s wedding and definitely missed my 40HPW last week. I saw a real person wearing a Zues Wallet shirt. I stopped and pointed and said “hey Zues Wallet” and he just ignored me. My vibes were pretty low after being ignored IRL. I just put my head down, put my headphones back on, and caught up with 80HPW this week!

A good antidote for pleb slop is the local Bitcoin meetup. Ditch the plebs on the sloppy socials and join the pioneers on the local frontier. Can't find a meetup? Start one!

Pleb slop psychosis is unconsciously holding so many back from achieving their potential. Sad…

🫡👍🏻👍🏻

@npub1yvscx9vrm… took the time to give @npub1cvcgs83gw… feedback about how we're incorporating #v4v into the podcast. We are learning so much from you and your years of experience. Jump to the local Bitcoiners time stamp to hear what he has to say and learn all about the philosophy of value for value.

but Spencer we need everything to be Nostr only and that's why we're reinventing V4V music with Nostr Music!!! That said I am building support for it into MSP 2.0 b/c I want to be a one stop shop for uploading your music and you shouldn't have to enter your same damn info into several places just to be everywhere. I did add a test EP of Doerfels music to Nostr Music from MSP 2.0 and if you see anything with the Purple DV logo that was uploaded from a Nostr Music app but I think I took that stuff down. #StayHard ⚡ 3333 sats 📱 via Castamatic https://podcastindex.org/podcast/946122 @npub1yvscx9vrm… @npub19ha7tju4t… @nevent1qvzqqqp…

The Bitcoin timechain should replace history books. I met Matt once when he was drunk at the RHR Hot style takeover and he invited me and my wife to the Park. This was in between his on stage grumpyness and the next day hungover grumpyness. When I got to the Park the next day we did not get to speak. It was sad but I still don't have Odell derangement syndrome. He's a legend. But that might have been my moment to stop acting like a retarded pleb and turn into a pioneer! Just like he said, “so many people care about things that just don't fuckin matter"

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!

Going to be a great summer!!!

Thanks Gentlemen 🫡

Outro song is 🔥🔥

👍🏻👍🏻

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!

When Kraylee Koin? 🤑 Hot blonde Kailey could get away with it! BTW - badass outro song! Thank You Bugle Gents! 🫡📯🫂

Have y’all seen Dream Scenario? I don’t know how to explain it but I absolutely loved it! I think it’s my favorite Cage Movie! But yes, Face/Off, Con Air, etc are like watching Creed’s 2001 Thanksgiving halftime show performance! Dream Scenario is like singing One Last Breath at a karaoke bar with Nic Cage and Scott Stapp

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! 🫡

When do we get a Wives Meetups at the Park? But it's just a spa day where the other wives can orange pill my wife. 🙏

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This entire podcast is loaded with valuable takeaways. Worth listening to twice. So damn good! Personally I resonated with the discussion on producing high quality consumable products that can't be recreated because nature is intimately involved. I feel the same way about breeding and growing cannabis.

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!

👍🏻👍🏻🫡

Trying to keep pleb slop away from meetups is the wrong approach. Meetups are where plebs become pioneers. They come to the meetup because the are ready to put in the work. The meetup organizers are there to guide and teach pleb slop literacy. How to recognize and think critically about the pleb slop. To build a local culture that is aware of pleb slop but can consume it for what it is rather than be psyoped, gaslit, and generally mislead or distracted by it.

Creed is top notch pleb slop! I like some pleb slop on occasion. Like Friday beers in the garage blaring Creed or catching up on your #40HPW. Sometimes the Bugle is pleb slop but it knows it is... So it's ironic and it's ok. It's like a cosmic gumbo. It moves to the beat of jazz.

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.

When details on the Sasha Vegas run?

Is my fountain subscriber working now?

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?

Keep up the good work boys! Hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and are having a happy new year!

Quantum is a fake and gay VC scam until it can factor a random three digit integer. Until then my young kids are smarter.

Appreciate you gentlemen 🫡📯🔥

Fiat subsidy has homogenized our roles in relationships. The majesty of our roles will return once we live lives more in tune with nature. Give up convenience for truth and let the magic of life prevail.

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...

👍🏻🫡👍🏻

Wow, I haven't heard a perfect strangers reference and many years. Bunch of boomers on this show 😁

☕

I appreciate listening to a podcast where I’ve given all three of y’all a hug! Keep up the good work gentlemen! Lol, Otis was the GIF of the guy who sees something, makes a face like “this might as well happen” and then unzip! 🤣

Last episode is the first I boosted and y'all can't get the boostes to work!? Lol WTF

@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.

Hey! No matter what anyone else is saying... I'm really proud of you guys! Keep up the good work!
