Show Notes

In this episode of the Becoming Sovereign podcast, host Brandon Karpeles is joined by Eric FJ, the first returning guest and co-founder of Conduit Market. Eric shares a major look into the Open Markets Movement, detailing how a global collective of developer misfits completely threw out their old codebase to deliver an upgraded, NIP-99 compatible alpha ecosystem. They challenge the modern e-commerce landscape by laying out a definitive roadmap to replace Shopify and Amazon with an unstoppable, peer-to-peer infinite bazaar built on localized trust networks, private NIP-17 messages, and zero-click cryptographic verification. They also dive into a...

BUILD. SHIP. ZAP. CLENCH. REPEAT. Appreciate you guys. On NIP-99: marketplaces don’t really “pull” from each other… rather, we all “push” marketplace events to relays so anyone can view the open market however they’d like. Conduit is just one lens. Plebeian, Shopstr, Hisa and soon TakeMySats too (and more) are all their own perspectives on a shared pool of product listing & related Nostr events. Similar to how Damus/Nostur/Wisp/Primal etc are all lenses on the same shared constellation of Nostr social events. #hashtag

The Yata podcast is developing a nice intersection of many topics I love all in one place. Nostr, Bitcoin, Permaculture, and Value for Value. Definitely moved up into the "immediately listen" tier of the #40hpw. It feels like building friendships through a podcast which is cool. By the way, a heatpunk is someone who uses the heat from Bitcoin mining for productive means. Many simply heat their homes in cold weather but I am drying laundry, heating water, dehydrating food/medicine, growing plants ect. A very permaculture way to mine Bitcoin! #v4v #valuechain #permaculture

I love how deep this conversation goes. I found myself going down the rabbit hole after what I consider to be a message from the creative force while meditating. Bitcoin is money and so much more. Were you called to Bitcoin by something beyond yourself? #40hpw

What Bitcoin represents is the destruction of the institutions that most anchor their sense of safety to. Bitcoin reveals that much of what you thought was keeping you safe is actually exposing you to outsized risk. The emotional response is to reject Bitcoin.

Any suggestions for Nostr based group chats that aren't perfectly private but work reliably? It's worth searching for the holy grail of the ultimate private Nostr group chat solution, and at the same time there has to be acceptable choices to offer a group chat experience to communities on Nostr.

The permaculture principle: Integrate Rather Than Segregate, is one of the key principles to consider when applying the 9 forms of capital concepts. The name of the game is spending time efficiently, so the goal is to build multiple forms of capital simultaneously with each expenditure of time. Integrating systems together is a great way cause each expenditure of time to accomplish multiple interactions simultaneously. Nostr exemplifies this in many ways, it lends itself to being more so integrated rather than segregated.

@EricFJ and @npub1equrmqway… does nip99 support payment splits? For example, I have my products processed and packaged by someone, instead of paying them all at once for the job, instead I offer them a split of the sales. So each time a product is sold the processer is paid out appropriately.

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.

Aspire to be less of a LARP each day thanks to episodes like this. Great show. Also your homophobia is so cute. Really makes you way less gay when you regularly make sure your audience knows you’re totally not gay. That’s some brokeback level straightness we can all aspire to. Careful with the bears you two, bring protection and practice safe nsecs.

I agree completely that this idea of "fix the money, fix the world" has to begin from the individual. "Fix the money, fix the world" is a meme, a nugget of cultural capital. Fix the money, fix the world is simply an ideal not a formula. And by sharing this meme, Fix the Money, Fix the World, it's a short, compact way of communicating that ideal. It's a way for Bitcoiners to come into alignment culturally that Bitcoin will be used for the benefit of all.

I miss an episode and it's the one you guys give a massive shout out to @npub1cvcgs83gw… ! This is the #valuechain, high velocity exchange builds capital, especially if that exchange causes a chain reaction of capital to propagate. Not just financial capital (btc) but also intellectual, experiencial, social, cultural, spiritual, ect. This is how the world we want to live in gets built by participation and cooperation, big or small. The key right now is velocity in my opinion.

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.

I was called to Bitcoin during a meditation, I had barely even heard of Bitcoin. It didn't make sense but I went down the rabbit hole very deep and very fast. Definitely a sigma Bitcoiner for that reason, something higher was guiding me to Bitcoin. P.S. Thanks for listening to @npub1cvcgs83gw… Podcast too! So cool to build cultural capital through podcasting together!
