⚡️⚡️⚡️🫡👍🏻 Bitcoin will fail because they’ll ban the apps, oh no!!?1?

Let’s go!

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.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Canadian here. Can confirm: Alberta is not cool.

HAPPY Uptober! Anyone not enjoying it is a lame bear

Business cat, a premium paid episode sold via Fountain on how to go about preparing for a carrington level event is something I’d happily put down some sats for.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I appreciate you dude 👊

Top 20 - LFG! Appreciate you 🫡

“Worked up” Len, is the best version of Len! That growl and laugh at 11:59 of the second half was priceless. Never change! Appreciate you both 🫡

Great episode! Spot on insights on HODL culture.

As someone who spends about 1/3 of their week on healthcare problems: this must listen! Fantastic rip @npub1w9dlp3nm3unua6es97nt3rfglkuz4lezvp6wlp48mjktu9f0jkdspl56ya

Really enjoyed all three releases this week!

Great conversation. Super respectful. Learned a bunch.

Thanks for continuing to bring us consistent, balanced coverage on Bitcoin news. Still my fave show. My AI friend agrees that not only is your show “X” but it is “Y” lol. Even if the Core code change ends up being a bit of a nothing burger, I think a lot of users have been swayed to run Knots by the elitist heavy handedness the Core devs came across with. Shutting down discourse etc. That and Peter Todd’s supersized ego and smug face. Anyway here’s some sats. Thank you for the great content.

⚡️⚡️FINANCE BRO PODCASTS ARE THE REAL SHITCOIN!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

⚡️⚡️⚡️🤣🔥🤣🔥

🔥🔥🔥

The community stepping up the boosts. Love to see it!

Super insightful rip! 🫡

How many sats will it take to get @npub1w9dlp3nm3… and @npub1s63scxcxw… to the Sphere?

Looking forward to the CBP/RPB extravaganza 🫡

Pure signal!

@npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g @npub19l2muzvelq07kfx8glfqmpf8jdcj2xp733rhjfc05t2g2mt9krjqrae40w Though I haven’t listed to this episode yet, I feel compelled to jump in. I knew BOTC was going to be engaging based on the subject matter. What I didn’t see coming was the 48-72 after each episode, diving back into the tracks and shows referenced in each pod, together with the memories and friendships. I’ve even reached out to a couple of folks from my crew I haven’t seen in 25 years. It’s been a real treat and I wanted to say thanks! I’ll be back for E.10 in a couple days. In the meantime: I’ve got 4 Island Tour shows re-familiarize myself with. Much Love.

"U Sports", formerly the CIAU (Go, U Sports!!), is our pathetic version of the NCAA. As far as I know, we don’t offer real financial or scholarship incentives for student-athletes. If anything, they’re more like small honorariums than actual scholarships. Hockey: @grayruby is right on the money here. Our young players chase opportunities in the CHL — that’s the WHL, QMJHL, and OHL — for ages 16–20.It might not be as much of a sure thing as it once was with the growth of USA Hockey, but when I was growing up, most NHL late-round picks or undrafted older kids from the CHL could reasonably expect to keep their hockey dream alive with a big scholarship or a free ride to a very good U.S. school. I honestly can’t think of a single player from U Sports/CIAU hockey who went on to the NHL. GPT-5 found a few — but with the exception of Joel Ward, “notable” should probably be in quotes: Derek Ryan, Logan Thompson, and Joel Ward – recent standout examples making the jump from U Sports to the NHL. Dr. Randy Gregg – University of Alberta Golden Bears alum (and actual doctor) with a solid NHL/AHL career. Bernie Wolfe – goalie from Sir George Williams University, 119 NHL games, MVP at the university championship. Andre Hidi – University of Toronto, 7 NHL games with Washington after earning U Sports national accolades. Kent Ruhnke – University of Toronto, brief NHL and WHA career, university championship MVP. Football: I’ve never played a down of competitive football, but I know it’s… complicated up here. High school and community teams generally play some variation of Canadian Amateur Football rules. Some use 3 downs. Quebec uses 4 downs, but still with the 1-yard line of scrimmage. Younger kids often use 4 downs to keep things moving. Community teams in Toronto and Vancouver sometimes use a hybrid of U.S. and Canadian rules. I have no idea how it all works, but it clearly hasn’t been a great recipe for producing elite players. We didn’t have football at my high school, but…

I appreciate you both!

@npub1w9dlp3nm3… I don’t always agree with your takes, but always respect your proof of work. Your segment on the mids barking at us to “buy Canadian” and “toughen up” hit the bullseye. I appreciate you both! 🫡

“He shoots it into his big fucking giant foot” I’m dying 😂

👍🏻👍🏻

Great rip!
