Show Notes

In this episode, I chat with Daniel White, the author of The Great Realignment: Power, Money, Greed, and Bitcoin, and the CEO of MicroSeed, a Bitcoin self-custody startup. If you’ve ever wondered why the world works the way it does, and how Bitcoin offers a profound shift in that dynamic, this episode is for you. ––– Support My Work ––– Paypal: https://www.paypal.biz/BitcoinMatrix Strike/Bitcoin: BitcoinMatrix@strike.me Cash App: https://cash.app/$BitcoinMatrix Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/bitcoinmatrix PO Box: The Bitcoin Matrix...

Just got back from Las Vegas. Lots of conventions, everything was busy. No one was complaining about prices or the economy...unless you talk to the people driving cab, cleaning your room, serving tables. Different story from them.

Keep it up Chris. I also skipped the episode you did when you strayed from the normal show structure. Take it as a compliment. Love the show, hope it continues. This Bitcoin thing is just getting started.

Value of the currency, even bitcoiners lose sight of this. Current price of BTC $77359. I asked Lumo what that is inflation adjusted to the year 2020. It said $99800 with a inflation of 29%. Whatever numbers you input, we aren't higher in purchasing terms. Jeff Booth is a good follow for how to look at Bitcoin price.

One podcast too late on that Las Vegas hat. Jack Mallars, seems to be a great guy. Unfortunately, I find he simplifies his message on purpose to keep it succinct. Makes sense for his audience, but if I were having a beer with him it would be nice to get the inside scoop on his biggest partner, The Big Gold buyer, Tether.

Our buddy Luke Groman did a interesting interview with Joe Burnett. He equated bitcoin scarcity with the scarcity of his lakehouse property, he paid off his mortgage with the sale proceeds. Overall, he sounded defensive. He certainly went over and above to explain away his bitcoin sale.

What I would like to see more Nostr apps doing is hiding the fact that they are Nostr apps. Just obscure it away so normal people think it's a normal app, and not a power app. And let the features and usability make them a fan without them realizing it

Ya there's definitely nothing wrong with waiting. 6 to 12 months from now it will be much more capable, and in order of magnitude easier to set up

I've been setting up mine to automatically log conversations. I've been feeding it all of my notes and business ideas. Everything gets automatically cataloged into obsidian. That obsidian vault is included in the QMD database for vector memory search. My agents have excellent short and long-term memory with minimal token usage. To set it up right, you really need to spend quite a while setting it up - or buy the files from somewhere. I've been setting up going on 3 weeks. It has already made me more productive. Soon my calendar will be synchronized. Client leads with automatically be filtered and surfaced front and center to me. The more you use something like this, the more you will start to understand how you can compound little abilities on top of each other. One cron job can trigger a cascade of events and work. I have used simplistic bots for many years. I used to have one that would pay my child support for me. That ran with no issues for about 5 years before they updated the site and broke my bot. I used to use another one for automatically populating descriptions and titles for an online store. At that time, I was replacing an employee with a simple bot. These things have been providing real value for people, for longer than people assume. Again it all comes down to how you use it and what you're doing with it. 6 to 12 months from now the landscape will be much different. Right now it's very hard to set up correctly and easy to burn money if you don't know what you're doing. But soon a lot of these things will be ironed out and much more normal people will be able to get higher value from it. On top of that, every time the models get better or cheaper, that means you can also upgrade your system to be smarter or cheaper.

I don't know who's spending $1,000 but you doing it wrong. I spent $15 in the past 3 weeks with more usage than I've ever had. It all depends on the model. But If they are also using it to do scraping and analyzing, it's not exactly simple work. And if you compare that to a human being doing the same work - that $1,000 is probably much cheaper than a human spending the time manually scraping and analyzing. I think I saw a graph recently saying that Claude opus outputs - in one prompt - between 5 and 15 hours of human work. Obviously that's not on every prompt, but that's pretty substantial even if it's expensive at a 30 cent API call, then maybe it's an extremely good deal. It's all very relative to what you're using it for and what your accomplishing in the end. Some of us have been playing with AI models for years already so we already know how to prompt better and we get better results. You've got to keep playing with different models - talk to them in different ways - and be explicit, try to remove ambiguity. And if you're having problems writing prompts - ask one AI to write a prompt for you to give to the other.. and that will often increase your chance of a one shot successful prompt

Great show! I don't know if you expect these people to "get" it, but I posted on X right after I saw the critic slam crypto. It says MSNBC at the bottom of the screen, people either aren't watching or don't find them credible. It's either stupidity or malice & intelligent people are no longer taking them seriously.

There's a regional Bitcoin meetup on Nov 6th-8th at the Drury inn in Grand Rapids. 10191429 This is the code for discounted rooms. The code doesn't work on the app but works online. The Drury inn serves breakfast and dinner. They also give you 3 free alcohol drinks with dinner. So Friday well have dinner and drinks. Saturday breakfast and dinner with drinks. Sunday Breakfast. We'll figure out lunch on Saturday depending on how many people show up. This event is family friendly. So bring your family and let's get a ton of Bitcoiners to hang out and network. Be there!!!

Excited for the conversation that took place on sessions recently; Simon Dixon vs. Jeff Booth. Excellent signal, I am always confused why Simon does not get more exposure. I would like to see him on Citadel & TFTC. It was a welcome white pill, a masterclass from Jeff. We are winning. Marty, can u get Doomberg on TFTC?

    The title was deeply misleading. It should have read "This System was Inevitable". He proves once again that there is no more morally depraved human being than a former libertarian. Chartalism? Seriously? Why is he on a Bitcoin show? I expect better economics than this. Strike one on unsubscribing, and I will never buy microseed.
