Pleb Nodes Don't Matter | Bugle Weekly Episode 118

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!

Altered Carbon

Pod keeping it real discussion wise in the #40HPW space. A bitcoin podcast episode that isn’t really a Bitcoin podcast episode. Signal here for being bullish on life! Definitely some real value here.

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.

Ironically, I'll be working on the Bitcoin mining air-conditioning unit again over the winter. Winter is when the building and tinkering happens here at the homestead. Spring, summer and fall are for dancing in harmony with all the natural systems, catching and storing the energy and obtaining their yeilds.

“Woo Girls” are hilarious... I love pointing out “Oh the woo girls are here” and someone in my group will ask me what that means? Then the other group says “WOOOOOOOO” and I just point ---> see, “woo” girls! Also, you are right, you shouldn’t tell me you’d read anything... Gettysburg address 🤣 I’m gonna get drunk and boost asking Jon to read War and Peace or Mandibles or Human Action

Like getting a large amount of wealth, Max, learning a sense of rhythm and to play instruments requires a large degree of low time preference. Some come to it much easier than others and are lacking in other areas. In the age of AI produced music learning and having a skill like playing the guitar will become an ungovernable trait.

🤘🏻

Rock, Paper, Bitcoin is an essential pod for your #40hpw. Always high signal!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Should have named the last episode “Cash for Clankers” - I honestly thought the title was “Clunkers” until y’all switched to robotism... Anyway, man, I have so many stories about buying or selling cars! Dealerships are the worst! We just dealt with one and it was quite a situation! This poor kid sold his first car to me and I took him on a rollercoaster of emotions!

AI generated podcasts will suck

Fascinating stories of what life is like in prison through the lense of a Bitcoiner. #pardonsamourai

John McAfee 🐳🐳

I think the other Jon should read one! Or I can read one? Regardless, thank you for doing this! #PARDONSAMOURAI

This year at Lake Satoshi, I think it's safe to say, the meshtadel truly went from concept to reality. From here on out, it's now about building it and making it stronger. I'm looking forward to more Bitcoiners joining us.

👍🏻👍🏻

Calling all local Bitcoiners, you can pick up Otis Bitmeyer coffee direct at meetups in the Michigan meshtadel network! Come hang with me at The South Bend Indiana Bitcoin Meetup, the first Thursday every month at Lang Lab, 630pm. Learn something, earn something, share something, buy something, build relationships and resilience with local Bitcoiners.

It was so great to meet all of y’all and to see Fundamentals again! Thanks for the books! Otis - Thanks for the coffee! BitcoinAcct - Thanks for tossing a bag of freeze dried skittles to me on the last day too! I had a few on the plane ride home and they are delicious! My kids finished all the rest of them! Really enjoyed meeting all y’all and enjoyed the discussions throughout the day and late into the night with Karl too! See y’all next year! Somehow I forgot to grab a bag of beans from Otis... I appreciated the cups for me and for my wife, the coffee was delicious and I appreciated the V4V - I hope y’all earned enough!

The robot typing loudly and then saying “scanning, scanning,scanning" is good kayfabe to make us think he's human! And then processed finding the word " period” in his memory! The robot needs more RAM!

Nostr is the place where bitcoiners build cultural capital uninhibited. Don't sleep on nostr, it's power has yet to be truly recognized. #40hpw #valuechain

Hopeful on local models. One must learn to cook using the toolbox of local models vs use the fast food version (Anthropic). Currently a hybrid approach seems to work pretty well. Doing some prompt engineering through a model like Grok on what you want to do and how to tell an agent running on local models to do that job. I built a functional Nostr client as a chrome extension using Qwen 3.6 27B after prompt engineering with a cloud model.

Check out Dark Wisp for Nostr… I tagged you both in the link for this on Nostr. Max, wisp has GIF’s built in… Cheers fellas 🫡

Pre-listen boost for Ungovernable Misfits Thanks Max and Q Always Ungovernable 🏴‍☠️🖕 Stay Free 🏴

I really like Nostur. Ditto is great too.

Proof of #40hpw on only boosts.social

Apparently I can't keep my boost cadence with the new weekly releases! Thank you for providing the news and the entertainment for me on a weekly basis!

Why is it maths (plural) in the UK? It would be crazy if @npub1lqvv69u54… went on Magic Internet Math as a guest in an episode called Magic Internet Maths. Also why is it you all crossed the pond say twat basically like tw@ instead of twaht or twawt?

Cheers Mates

Demanding 600 Bitcoin after you stole all of someone’s money is utterly insane

Bro WTF? Everything about their theft is uncommon compared to white hat. You can’t steal and then extort, that isn’t how white hat works. There’s an inherent power balance where you’re “negotiating” with your victim of whom you stole their money. If I break into your house and steal all your shit, will you feel all good if I offer to give most back?

Luke Jim Jones AKA Jonestown dood. lol perfect joke about cults within a cult of bitcoin. UGMF’s one of the ways to fight that culty shit.

Halfway through... Boosting to say live show! I won't listen live but I think the banter is funnier and the extra editing is not needed! That's my 2 sats!

Weekly Briefs will be very welcome in my #40hpw, some of the highest signal around. Check out the stats of the show on onlyboosts.com to see how much the #v4v listeners love Ungovernable!

Ass Over Tits Bullish on The Weekly Brief

Weekly Bitcoin Brief for the Win 💪🔥

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...

Having never been to a Lake Satoshi I can’t judge, and the comparison is imperfect but sort off sounds like a Rainbow Family gathering for bitcoiners with emphasis on free market and circular economies. Sounds pretty cool honestly. Gatherings like this continuing on the counterculture movements of the 60’s into today.

Quantum computers don't exist

As a larp with chauffeur knowledge.. trying to become less and less so I must say this podcast episode definetly puts some noise in the signal of quantum computing this and quantum computing that in cryptography privacy and bitcoin discusssions. I think what you guys provide is a good starting point with someone who did some calc and stats and algebra in college but doesn’t want to bite the bullet for going back for a whole degree in it.

Continued love from the Seattle crew

Great rip!! 🫡👍🏻

💜

Thank you, Max! #PARDONSAMOURAI Also I want to take a moment and point out that in exchange for horrible UI/UX.... Fountain app took a total of 5,000 sats from this donation to Bill's family. When TF did they start taking fees on top of the splits!?!!?!

#PardonSamourai #FreeSamourai

Not sure what to say in this boost but great episode with lots of info! I need an AI breakdown of all products suggested in this episode! Keep up the good work Max even if Q and Seth bailed on you!

Awesome rip

Health = wealth 👍👍👍. Getting harder and harder to do so (but not really) just more expensive. Pays off in the long run!

Always Ungovernable 🏴‍☠️🖕 Be Healthy 💪 Stay Free 🏴

Sound coffee and sound conversation about sound money and a sound parallel economy.

Instead of spinning up a shitcoin, why not make a high quality product with the supply being limited by your own time and effort. @npub1vpx9596du… coffee is something I want more than Bitcoin.

“The first inch is a beautiful experience” - Fundamentals...... That’s what she said!

Barnminer needs to make hotter jerky. The mild is a waste of time. Max, wtf is jout fraisi!?! Oh ...... After multiple attempts to google it I see it's Jalfrezi... never heard of her.

Thank you for your precious time and energy ✨️ 💕 💖 💓 💗 💜 ✨️

👍🏻⚡️

Chicken chow meow!

Merry Christmas gentlemen! Hope you enjoyed some time with your families! I can't wait to hear all the stories and see this "show" growing more next year! Happy new year!

Penis!

Merry Christmas 🎄 UGMF and Crew!

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.

👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻

How does privacy on ark and privacy on lightning compare? What are the different trade offs? Can they be used in tandem to achieve even better privacy than using just one or another?

🐴🤖

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!

Spilling coffee is the adult equivalent of losing your balloon 🎈

👍🏻👍🏻🫡

Amazing links in the show notes, the seeker is the finder. #valuechain #40hpw

I love you both but... You forgot to read the boosts. And I forgot to boost when I first listened so I forgot what I might have commented on Keep up the good work! Let's both do better next time!

Don’t put all you dick in one basket fellas

Loan payback is legally avoiding taxes, it is not niche, if interest is lower than taxes avoided it’s a strict win. Not even counting potential BTC appreciation.

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN 🫡 ALWAYS UNGOVERNABLE 🏴‍☠️🖕 STAY FREE 🏴

Sorry I missed boosting last week! Apologies to Jordan. Linkin Park still does rule(z). Max is the CCE of Ungovernable Network? Does that stand for Chief Cunty Executive!?

Where is the group chat where I can use someone else's fat daddy compute for sats?

Is a Spark setup better due to native CUDA cores over a Strix Halo or a M5 Max or Ultra in some ways if one wants to fine tune?

I want a pet AI

#pardonsamourai Thank you for allowing me to read this one!

Thank you!

Dammit back again for another boost. Feel compelled to chime in that Bass Load does give good hugs! And then Fundamentals was very jealous so I went for a full bear hug for him after he complained. Not sure if he wanted the full bear hug but he got it from my fat ass! (I had to stop half way through typing this boost to laugh at this fucking Avaron ad read!)

Back to boost again just because of that Hash Sluts commercial!

Sorry, but I bought Otis’ coffee and then we ground it up in an Amazon Basics grinder. Put it in a reusable K-Cup and still enjoyed it! It's so good! “Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good” Max! I was just about to send 25k sats and the Dary called me a dumbass 🤣 so I cut it down to 10k 🖕

Don't fuck with this guy, he will shoot you. As much as I don't think violence is a great way to organize society, the transition out of a society that is maintained by violence will likely be violent. How many are prepared and willing to deal with this violent transition? #40hpw #valuechain.

Hell yeah!

Love Fenix

Happy to see Fenix in my #40HPW🎧!

As much as I don't like to think through wrench attack scenarios, it's worth considering. Great information for how to think through it all.

Nice conversation! I swear one of my biggest fears is someone breaking into my house when I'm passed out and catching me off guard. It's one thing to have guns but another thing to get caught in your undies in the middle of the night. Or thinking how your children are closer to the front door than you. But at least if some thug breaks in I can shoot him. But if the government boots show up for some reason then I just have to put my hands up and pray I don't get shot....

Liana is awesome 🫡👍🏻

Sovereign living is active living. It's living with intention and striving for an ideal.

South Bend Indiana Bitcoin Meetup is first Thursday of the month at Lang Lab 630pm. naddr1qvzqqqrukvpzqngz8n5al4660uc8tw8guzzqpzlp0g0h2rrrkh08y8nwlzp6m3m9qqyxzv3sxsmkzvp57z8fkz

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.

Being prepared for the pole shift means being prepared with much more than financial capital or physical forms of capital. I working on being prepared spiritually too.

Having a low time preference for such a cataclysm definitely makes sense to a certain degree not necessarily going full prepper mode, but I think it is important to realize such a thing could happen and it’s important to be able to respond accordingly if one is capable.

👀👀👀

Kerim’s soundboard just keeps getting better! I always enjoy a “That’s fine” thrown in the middle of the conversation and Jon’s voice saying “Fucking Parasites” was perfect! Good work, Kerim! Pay this man more to keep up the good work! Great conversation with Business Cat! I look forward to the 4-man confab and lots of “grumpy old man stuff"

How can we film an MTV Cribs type show with Bitcoiner houses without doxxing locations or faces?!?! Can Home Assistant help with that?! I also used to have all these automated lights and quickly realized I didn’t want to deal with it or have it phoning home. For lights automation I’d much easier to install an analog option (motion sensor switch) on the wall to replace the manual switch. Like a bathroom occupancy switch which will turn on the lights for 30 minutes when you walk in... So unless you take a really long shit then the light and fan will turn off after you finish your business and leave. If you get stuck watching videos or doomscrolling then just a simple wave of the hand will turn it back on! I had this happen to me once in college where I was in a stall and the light turned off in the bathroom while I was in there and the sensor couldn’t see me... didn’t turn back on until the next person walked in and was surprised I was shitting in the dark. Or in my shed when I can’t get my fucking miners to work and I’m staring at the computer then the lights turn off so I typically use that as an indicator that I need another beer and walk over to trigger the lights again. (Sorry for the long boost on your hour-long show... I sent extra sats...)

Leveling up the automation of the systems at the homestead is on the long list of winter projects. It does seem like a tipping point has been reached where remote control and automation is now simple and affordable enough while still being possible to do while maintaining privacy that it's well worth making the effort to integrate.

👍🏻🧐

As technology gradually eats the world, both in life overall and in Bitcoin without basic math, logic, and technical knowledge you will always be a step behind and easier to con. Harsh lesson of 2025 as it was during the Bcash split.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Missed boosting the last few episodes. Can't miss the Bugle show. Really appreciate all 4 of y'all! Keep up the good work, the good coffee, the good reporting, and the good discussion!

Increase you #40HPW🎧by 69% in 2026
