RPB038 - Above It All

Success!

Bitcoiners can learn a lot from the history of the band we know as Phish and the culture and circular econonmy that grew alongside them over the past 40+ years straddling the birth of the internet. Phish fans can learn a lot about the future of money built upon the internet, supported by a surprisingly similar culture with similar network effects built on human connection and aligned incentives that we call Bitcoin. Looking forward to expanding upon these concepts and maybe some music 😉!

I sometimes forget the level of understanding that can only come from 40HPW. The Bugle Weekly has been a cornerstone of my 40HPW training since the first episode. No noise, only signal 🫡

Dear Rod and Dick, Solid content these last two episodes, including Dick’s commentary following his recent “debate”. I was also amazed by Brock’s inability to differentiate selfishness from self interest. We can care for and relate to others only to the extent that we care for and relate to ourselves, first and foremost. Sincerely, Jason

ITM. Adam’s rant got me. Newer listener, love the show, the world still needs you both. My take is the severity to which the mainstream media (along with the obv politicians) is corrupt and dishonest is becoming difficult to bear for many people. Maybe it’s because I’m new to your analysis and content, maybe not. Please keep spreading truth.

Looking forward to more great content related to the overlap of math and bitcoin. Cheers to @npub12eml5kmtr… and @npub160t5zfxal…

Thank you for the shoutout to our humble 100k celebration dinner. Fundamentals helps run a great meetup and is the best guest on your show. Keep up the great work - the bitcoin scene needs Rod and Dick!

Outworking everyone so you get to call the shots is a message I needed today. Cheers Jon

“Do you call them merrigolds over there?” Umm…

Pioneer Miner swag incoming?

I got 21 projects but a bitaxe ain’t one 😂… glad this rip didn’t include any mentions of merrigolds. Your 2nd chat with Travis was a school session. Been thinking about residential hotwater for a few months so the info related to hydro units (and new whatsminer) and boiler style indirect water heating was new to me and I’m a pretty seasoned (albeit whitecollar) MechE. Cheers

Adding 40 Hugs per Week to my rotation. Bitcoin podcaster hugs hit hard, highly recommend

It’s about fucking time! I almost had to send one of Mike Tyson’s carrier pigeons to the Bugle News Room with a note ‘wen junseth’. Junseth and Dick represent the continuum of Bitcoin satire and this conversation, a changing of the guard. I owe Junseth and American Hodl a debt of gratitude for keeping me focused through this past bear market. Fuck Teddy.

Dear Rod and Dick, You are killing it. I am not even to the 10 min mark…. Sincerely, Jason

Blown away by this so far… well done gentlemen

Great practical home mining advice, Jon. Well into my 3rd decade as a mechanical engineer (we are indeed getting old!), over engineering anything is a big pet peeve of mine and I beat that mental model into my teams. Gall’s Law comes to mind: always start simple and only add complexity once you have high confidence in the foundational design or setup. Ego has no place in a designer’s thinking if a system needs to ‘just work’. I also heat simply shunt any excess heat in my space with a thermostat controlled damper. As for Jack, the modular design is cool but unproven in the field.

Rod’s AOL handle inspired me to say that you guys are the bearclaw in the garbage bag that is Bitcoin twitter Apologies for the double reference but that’s how things go sometimes #40HPW

Subscribed - I do not intend to miss any Bugle Weekly content… And Richard, I really enjoyed you on Once Bitten. You handled Lauren’s opening question with class and Daniel seemed to return the gesture giving you plenty of space. High signal rip.

Becca Boost!!

In a world where everyone who writes code or dreams up another stupid mstr derivative is an ‘engineer’, we are called to take a stand. Words matter. We are not plebs, we are pioneers!

Outro music was a real toe-tapper!

These past few episodes have been fantastic. Cheers guys, hope your Christmas was merry.

Been a while since I boosted in. Happy Thanksgiving to you both and the rest of the Pioneers in my life.

“Let’s get this show on the road!”

This is the most insightful content that I have found for anyone that has experienced Bitcoin as being psychedelic

Great rip, Shadrach is excellent

Great to see Marty and Hodl together and always here for Erik

Eat your heart out Avi, great sermon Rod.

I find myself torn between my desire to comply with credentialed journalists and my addiction to no kyc cigarettes and satire. Please help.

Very interesting discussion. 40HPW.

Great show gents. I continue to enjoy the variety of content and evolution of the overall podcast and team.

Rod and Dick are a speculative attack on clown world. Prove me wrong. 40HPW

This crossover is as big as Phish at the Bitcoin conference

The Circle P is made up of Pioneers (not plebs)

Max a CTO? I was mid coffee sip… I’ll be back after I clean this up.
