Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

No actual discussion about the BIP technicals. Projection, fear-mongering, mind reading. Odell kind of did the same thing with Swan Bitcoin a couple years ago when he didn't have info that they hadn't announced and basically accused them of being bad actors and had to walk it back. If you disagree with the goal and assume bad motivations then of course it's going to seem like an attack. BIP-110 supporters can (and probably do) say that Core's actions + some statements by various devs + various VC connections = attack on Bitcoin. Everyone has their idea of what they want Bitcoin to be and everyone has something at stake. As a small miner who is all-in on Bitcoin for years now, and has been following this issue since early 2025, I support the vision of BIP110. Doesnt mean it's perfect, but I believe it's better than the direction we'd be heading without it.
100
the core dev, lorinc, finding a critical consensus bug from sloppy coding in 110 was hilarious.
100
110 is an attack on Bitcoin. Doesn’t mean Core is perfect either.

Thanks for all your work, guys. I don't always agree with you but appreciate you regardless. I'm trying to add to the free, private, decentralized apps space based on p2p protocols and design using the Pear stack. So far I have a family/group calendar, family/location sharing and screen time apps. Please check out what I've got so far at https://peerloomllc.com or check out @npub16u9hy2m8w… on NOSTR.

Paul is arguing that Lightning doesn't work because it doesn't scale to 8 billion? Has anyone claimed it would? Does any monetary system we have scale to the whole world? Appeals to authority, admitting he hasn't used it in recent years, clearly has an axe to grind about a different solution (drive chains). Seeing more and more "OGs" who are disappointing. Slay your heroes, fam.

Shinobi is like Bitcoin's version of Reddit atheists and lolbertarians doing a "well akshually". The fact that he admitted he can't steelman the opposition tells me everything I need to know. Doing that is histrionic moralphagging, "It's so absurd I can't even...they must be crazy!"

Mother fuckers who mutilate themselves are weird as fuck and obviously have mental health problems! I mean I’ve had anxiety and depression before, but I would rather get fucked up or knock somebody out who’s a wise ass than mutilate my own body lmao!🤣I mean now I would just use plant medicine and meditate, but either way they are definitely mentally unhealthy.

    I work in an industry that has many components imported from China, Mexico, Canada, etc. I have seen many announcements of future price increases, but not many actual files containing the details of said price increases. My theory is manufacturers and suppliers are waiting out the Trump tariffs that are on and off constantly. Simply announcing the possibility of a future increase so that it's not a surprise to their customers/partners, but can't actually operate in this environment where tomorrow can be 25%, 0% or 100%. So with this in mind, wonder if the "dip" in inflation could simply represent a pause while people try to make sense of this admins economic/foreign trade policy. They want to "cut once" vs change the prices every other day. Maybe more relevant to my industry with publicly known/followed MSRPs, curious your thoughts.

    Thanks for the content, and I think I agree with your assessment of this admin using their ability to inject volitilaty (I.e. tariffs) to try and get some cheap financing. Trump isn’t perfect but he has a pretty good record of forcasting and making strategic moves for the long run. We shall see, and like you said if we don’t get this strategic reserve past congress we will remain on shaky ground. In the mean time I’m enjoying my cheap sats!

    Is owning realestate as an investment and “the American dream” or should we rent as cheaply as possible and invest all disposable income into bitcoin? Be happy and own ONLY bitcoin? Great show. Thanks for sharing your personal living experience. Makes you show all the more amazing
