Listened to Mechanic’s and Shenobi’s case and Mechanic makes a more compelling argument. Also Mechanic has much more detail compared to Shenobi. I am currently on Mechanic side of the argument so far.

You guys are hilarious. I am a bit older than either of you but I can confirm I am not using a typewriter to verify addresses. My previous appreciation of you mentioning the address verification was because I was unaware of it. Keep dribbling out info about features that some of us are unaware are available.

Interesting discussion. Too bad Steven resorted to so much ad hominem attacked rather than discussing his position in more detail.

100% agreed you need both Medium of Exchange and Store of Value. The Bitcoin that are held by ETF custodian lose the MoE function. We gotta educate people as so many are considering moving their coins to ETF because “self custody is hard”. That would destroy Bitcoin’s value. SoV cannot existing alone.

Thanks for the value. My fountain stash ran dry this month, so now, post pay cheque, I'm returning some value, wish I could send more. Please keep distilling the major btc topics, threats, human rights news etc for those of us stuck (for now) in the fiat mines.

You deserve more V for your V, but I'm facing some personal liquidity challenges at the moment. Where I work, they stopped hiring SW graduates a few years ago. I don't think they planned to switch to AI, it was just a desperate measure. Now they're pivoting hard to agentic coding.

first you educated me in the self sovereign, KYC-free BTC way, then you introduced me more broadly to freedom tech, now you are guiding & encouraging me to adapt to AI. This is not enough value to express my thanks, one day there will be more

Thanks for the high signal, here's a small amount of value in return. I'm a few shows out but PLEASE stay audio focussed. Visuals (e.g. notes on your nostr account) as an add-on would be a bonus but I'm finding I have to stop, dry/clean my hands multiple times per show where they've leaned more heavily into video. It's frustrating, when I've hit a rhythm in some tedious chore, and am successfully transported to realms of self-sovereign contemplation / education, to have to stop what I'm doing and drop back into reality to work out what on earth they're talking about! It makes the task seem longer and I enjoy the show a bit less. Anyway that's my view. Thanks for all the work you put in.

    Your response to Peter’s question about swearing was great. It made me realize that I don’t hear crude and vulgar language on your podcast unlike so many others. ( My parents taught me that intelligent people don’t have to swear to make their argument. Call me old fashion I guess). Keep up the good work.

    Appreciate your time & energy. Fascinating to learn about the UK's £1 verdict and Peter's unconventional guardian angel!
