ACK to more students coming out. Did you not hear @npub1fhmmgwe6f… say there's free food?😄 But seriously pushing the conversation back into classrooms and engaging other academics helps engage more valuable resources. Student engagement disporportionaly can help move the needle. Besides, the more you're into bitcoin when you're a student, the more you're retired when you're 45-50.

Just boosted ⚡ 1,776 sats to @npub1cvcgs83gw… for Ep. 19 "Recording the Revolution w/Shannon: Columbus, OH | Ep. 019" Great episode guys. Shannon was another great guest. How is it that all Bitcoin Meetup organizers are so articulate. I would imagine they are good looking as well. Shoutout to the Comox Valley Bitcoin at the Beach meetup. The venue was the beach and it went swimmingly. There were burgers, baked goods, tallow and lard, plants and freeze dried products for sale for BTC. I think it is a beautiful beginning to a Bitcoin market. https://fountain.fm/episode/rPKfsikJqyzTYCuSSv6D https://localbitcoiners.com

A million times yes. Thank you for addressing this in the right way. You're one of the only podcasts that hasn't responded to Coinkite with yet more bad options. Very much excited that Learning Bitcoin From The Command Line is getting a new edition too -- long overdue.

Re:other nodes and making news, you're clearly not watching Eric Voskuil on Twitter. Libbitcoin 4 just did IBD in 14 minutes on a consumer connection (with assumevalid height of 950k) and 55 min for full validation. Older than Knots, and older than Core being called, well, Core. They slept for a good few years but are waking up with a vengeance.

Thank you to @npub14mcddvsjs… for another excellent interview! As a longtime anglophile I‘m listening to almost every one of your episodes and this one stands out in particular because it lays out some clear tactical steps to be taken in British politics to get the UK back on track to once again become a great & prosperous country. Not all‘s gold in Switzerland, btw., but I do strongly believe (as apparently does Phil, too) that the Swiss political model has many advantages in its favour and few downsides. And I would even go as far as rephrasing Sir Winston‘s quotation that „the Swiss political system is the worst on the planet with the exception of all others that have already been tried.“ Keep up the good work & consider running for public office in your town to be able to implement changes yourself. Small steps matter & everyone with good ideas should contribute to the change needed! That‘s also one of the basics in the Swiss political system 😉

    The thing about saying tokenized stock, futures, etc are void is, I never expected tokenized stock to actually mean you own the stock like a shareholder does. Rather, that you have an IOU that tracks the stock!1:1 on the balance sheet of whoever tokenized it. Essentially, an exchange traded note, but on some private blockchain. Given that it's just the debt of the issuer (who one would hope has the equity to cover the market action of it and still be able to pay off your token) there's not really anything the underlying security issuer can do about the tokens. Other than what they're doing, which is clarify that THEY don't recognize shareholder rights such as proxy votes. For most people though this doesn't really change the calculus a ton, UNLESS the issuers are reckless. Given the lack of regulation so far, they probably are, so buyer beware...
