An episode about God and Connection. So many thoughts spawned from listening to @npub12eml5kmtr… and have this incredible conversation. I'm having a paradym shift focused on Love. Thank you for the love. As far as I'm aware, this is the first time npub1ew4qeq576v3vz4gukeseknqghx3x4jtlld8ftys9amrca6f3xfzsrm8jpd has been mentioned on a podcast. So unbelievably grateful @npub1z9hy7a0n8…

WHY IS NOT PAYING OUT BOUNTY #9 TO ? Currently, there is a bounty for a FROST Multisig Wallet implementation in the amount of 1 BTC. Stack Wallet started work, in September 2023, on a FROST multisig wallet implementation and has had a compliant version in their app since February of this year. They applied for the bounty and it has been 8 months with no decision from HRF.

I remember Odell once saying he is only doing this until someone else picks up the Mantel. Not that I want you to stop, but you gotta appreciate Max BitBuyBit's Pod is giving you a run for your money now. #BeUngovernable #UngovernableMisfits

Another great episode of Rock Paper Bitcoin, and now with it's own intro and outro music! 🎵 Excellent conversation about the "identity" and identification.

An excellent episode with the RPB team, and without a doubt my favorite with a guest. A lot of great chemistry with the guest this time. It was great getting to hear BC and AG back and forth about their military experience. I really appreciated the talk on the VFWs. I'll be sharing this episode with some folks. Keep it up, guys! #buyfundamentalsbook

This was an excellent episode. I personally think I've been disappointed by some of the more recent episodes. It wasn't that they were bad in any way I can point out, but they just didn't have that magic that I listen to this podcast for. This episode made me have that same feeling that hooked me in when I started listening to RPB. I LOVED IT. There are some who bow down and answer the calls of men and their laws. Then there are great men who only bow down and answer the call of God.

One of the most interesting episodes produced. The back and forth of the dialogue between npub1z9hy7a0n8zxnhgrcew2nnkr4sx6sum07exve99pqq30leujye3usgd858n and npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g as they not so much argue, but try to break down their use of language to meet an understanding on the complex idea that is 'enlightment'. I found myself going back and forth agreeing with one speaker and then rapidly finding myself agreeing with the other. It's as if I had an understanding yet not exactly, but the purity of the desire for truth kept me constantly intrigued. This is an episode I would mark in npub1kqrddzzl6xng2wn0n0eyyjnf6smwmtp8m5atetzjw7vqyngwrphs4ye5xu's top five. I'll give it some time, but I plan to listen to this episode again. Sidenote: I loved Fundamental's use of examples such as Larry Bird and The Fountainhead sparked me up with joy.

A great episode with an excellent guest, @rev.hodl @npub1f5pre6wl6… Thank you for bringing him in. I always think a lot about what he has to say. His insight and more importantly his experience is true signal of the Proof-of-Work philosophy.

    ∀n ∈ ℕ, prove (21n + 4) / (14n + 3) is irreducible. Proof: gcd(21n + 4, 14n + 3) = gcd(2(21n + 4), 3(14n + 3)) = gcd(42n + 8, 42n + 9) = gcd(42n + 8, 1) = 1 ∴ (21n + 4) / (14n + 3) is irreducible. QED

    I want to hear more about math being a subject of the humanities. I love how this pod stresses the urgency of us being able to verify today's cryptography and to be able to independently verify future cryptography (don't get hoodwinked).

    I have theory: Every time these guys get together to record an episode of Motivate the Math it turns out to be an awesome breakdown of the language of reality. Proof: 1(npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9)+1(npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g)="Awesome Breakdown of the Language of Reality" See! The math always works out! Every single time! My favorite part of this episode was near the end as npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g explains how Mathematics is a liberal art and not a science. It caught me off guard a little, but listening to the way he explains it in terms of Humanity made me begin to understand the point he was making. It's definitely something I'll be pondering.
