Finally just as I was losing my faith in bitcoiners along comes a bitcoiner who is brave enough to speak what everyone sees. Yes the Zionist mafia is committing genocide against the Palestinians and history will remember it as such. Thank you for having the great big hairy balls!!! The unapologetic bloody mindedness to speak the truth to power. Always. Robert Breedlove I salute you.

Great show Teddy and Daryl. I got my knots badge but got my beard stuck in the knot. It was 45 mins of pain but the teacher was very impressed cos he thought it was the strongest knot he’d ever seen. Had to cut my beard in the end. No loger feeling the Gandalf vibe but proud of my knot. Tell me a bit more about your train sets.

This by far your best podcast and I’m including WBD. I’ve been a long time listener and this is amazing. Mr Sutter is an incredible educator. He is able to get across stupidly complex ideas easily and your interview style of not interrupting makes listening to him a joy. Thank you for this show.

Ok someone needs to tell me if this is planned theft or If the govt is really trying to minimise the risk of contamination of the big banks in event of extreme financial collapse. From discussing withDeepSeek it seems a lot of this came out of the collapse of bear sterns where toxic assets could not be separated from bank assets. Really need your ‘Guys Take’. This is really an important one.

Your point about bear markets sorting the wheat from the chaff is spot on. It links to Talib’s “antifragile”. At first I thought this was how bitcoin becomes antifragile but then I realised Bitcoin is just a protocol and it carries on regardless. What bear markets are really doing is making bitcoiners stronger. Making the bitcoiners who survive the bear market antifragile. Anyway. Loved the show.

Dr Jacks and Breedlove keep talking about the absolute importance of the protection of “private property” but completely ignore the literal theft of people’s homes in Palestine. Every home in Israel was stolen from a Palestinian family 🤷‍♂️. You can’t pretend to defend private property while ignoring the evil that is happening in Palestine. It comes off false.

Dr Jack: AI is the most dangerous thing in humanity because it has the ability to whitewash history Breedlove: but Bitcoin is immutable. The history of the 21million cannot be changed. This struck me hard. Is it possible to code books humanity will need to rebuilt civilisation or simply can we code books or ideas which we think are important into the blockchain. Is it feasible? Will it mess up Bitcoin? Is it expensive? Great listen.

I love Tom Luongo. Man speaks sense about the infinite war machine. It’s so depressing right now but Israels genocide in Gaza has opened people’s eyes. The world is starting to connect the dots between infinite money printer and infinite war machine.

Great show. It really resonated with me when you said the rich finance Bros are getting bitcoin while poor people who’ll benefit the most are just not getting it. It so sad but like you said bitcoin is for enemies.
