Surviving the Kidnap Threat | The Confab 28: Kevin Loaec

The conviction of the pioneer is not so easily shaken. Most issues around Bitcoin are laughably inconsiquential to those building on the frontier. The further one separates from fiat the more free they will be.

Keep pioneering!

Fuck Pete Rizzo, fuck Joe Rogan! 🖕🖕🖕

I’ve cut down on my podcast listening last few weeks…… But yous two OG’s got me amped the fuck up! Fuck everyone, #40HPW foe life son!!!!

I refuse to wear a suit for anything other except a wedding or a funeral! Suits are for queer shitcoiners! Real men wear work wear, hunting gear and work out clothes!

Fuck Joe Rogan!!!! 🖕🖕🖕

It’s much more productive to to be in the gym in shorts working out than to buy a suit & tie… just saying 🫡🍄💪

Loved this fucking rant!!!! Bouyaka Bouyaka Bouyaka!!!! 🫡🍄💪

I know I’ve finally made it in the Bitcoin space from the @npub1qny3tkh0a… episode when he said he knows who I am!!! LFG!!! 🫡🍄💪

LFG!!!!! 🫡🍄💪

👍🏻🫡 Thanks for the Fed acknowledgment, classy move

Rock, Paper, Bitcoin is an essential pod for your #40hpw. Always high signal!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Should have named the last episode “Cash for Clankers” - I honestly thought the title was “Clunkers” until y’all switched to robotism... Anyway, man, I have so many stories about buying or selling cars! Dealerships are the worst! We just dealt with one and it was quite a situation! This poor kid sold his first car to me and I took him on a rollercoaster of emotions!

@npub15604np6cc… Is good people’s! 💪💪💪💪💪

I hate buying car at car dealerships. I usually want to fist fight everyone in there so it’s actually a test of my strength to hold back 🤪

Enjoying this conversation. Thank you gentlemen.

Plebs become pioneers by participating in their local Bitcoin culture. @npub1cvcgs83gw… is the podcast where the plebs can find out about Bitcoin meetups and the pioneers can learn how to start one. Hyperbitcoinization is a local phenomena.

This reminds me of a John Mulaney joke in one of his standups about midgets. In this case it’s “He’s calling me a pleb! That’s worse than the N-Word” “Well, first of all... no.... and second, you know how I know which word is worse? You are saying one of those words but you are not saying the other word. That other word is probably the worser word!” I honestly don’t understand this whole BIP-110 thing - curious where I should go to even hear about it. What podcaster has actually explained it without their thumb on the scale? I wasn’t here for the block size wars but a bit concerned about this current thing. Plebs are always grumpy about the “current thing” - Maybe I’m not the pioneer I thought I was.... My fat white ass was certainly not deported - I’m just a retard and forgot to boost. But y’all also aren’t reading off any thank you to your subscribers anymore!

Plebphobia

Hero series has been awesome

🤣🤣🤣 Plebs segregating themselves is pretty hilarious

10 days since an episode!? Rod, tell Greaser to stop drinking in Vegas and record a pod! I guess I can catch up on my antiwar.com pods and my Ron Paul weekly reports while y'all push button slots in Vegas with the boomercons...

Let's not forget Bitcoin has already won, Bitcoin fixes this, and if you don't agree, zoom out and lower your time preference. It's going up forever, Laura.

Paranoid Android

Sometimes I don't know what to say in my boost. But I feel compelled to do so. I thought about skipping but I'm curious if you will read boosts in this next week show you were teasing... Anyway, here's some more sats for providing me entertainment at work.

#40HPW

Thanks for the shoutout and thanks for all y’all do. It was a pleasure to meet you both at Lake Satoshi! I figured out how to subscribe so I guess I’ll be auto-boosting you once a month now as if I needed to burn more sats! 🤣 If the Ungovernable Misfits add this then I’m sure I’ll have to subscribe to that too. This is becoming like streaming subscriptions. Give me back my cable TV package with all my shows! The future certainly does not have good UX! Also, WTH y’all talking about trees close to roads and civil engineers. I think I zoned out while driving and might have to listen back again since that didn’t count towards #40HPW I’m sure.... I was driving past one of my fiat projects looking at the trees and felt seen as you mentioned civil engineering 💩

1 year anniversary of the South Bend Indiana Bitcoin Meetup is Thursday September 4th at Lang Lab, 630. Celebrate with us! Show up with your grumpyness and leave with that yeehaw pioneer energy.

Carhartt mandated the vaccine during Covid. GAY.

Every pioneer, a podcaster.

Great vibes

WE NEED MORE WOMEN IN TITCOIN

Noted: “Bitcoin Podcaster” it shall remain! I will default to our fearless generals - our podcasters. I really enjoyed listening to this episode of three Bitcoin Podcasters with completely real voices - true pioneers with the best voices in Bitcoin Podcasting. I think I owe you a response to a recent message, Dick, I’ll hopefully be able to get back to you soon!

👍🏻👍🏻💯

I can’t believe Fundamentals was on this show and y’all didn’t even read my boost! I think Fountain removed me as a subscriber - I guess I need to fix that.... I also didn’t expect a conversation about “unfamiliar footwear” but I’m here for it!

Yo yo yo 🍄💪🔫

If @npub12eml5kmtr… is a credentialed journalist, @npub1563z6kxmv… should hire him. Hope everyone appreciates this episode as much as I do.

@npub1emdtsxly9… dealt the death blow in my maxi madness matchup against Jack Dorsey. I held the lead for the majority of the round but burned all my social capital early on leaving me vulnerable to Robs maxi boost of 21k. I had fun and according to @npub1s4t5da3x5… the true winners are the ones having the most fun so take that giggler.

Hey! No matter what anyone else is saying... I'm really proud of you guys! Keep up the good work!

Let’s FUCKING go 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When we having #40HPW maxi podcast listeners madness son? I feel like I deserve a top seed in that! 🫡🍳🥩🧘🏻‍♂️🍄💪🙏

I’m glad you certified that summer starts Memorial Day weekend! I look forward to my weekly glazing until then! Tell Bibi I said I earned it and he can check my credentials himself! But why won't the glazings continue after MDW?

👍🏻👍🏻🫡

YOU DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS DEWEY! Thank you for the reminder of this movie! Can't believe Business Cat doesn't know... Also, yes, he got very echoey in the middle of the episode. Went away as randomly as it started!

Altered Carbon

👍🏻👍🏻🫡

After several years of continuing to reduce my participation in the fiat system, those who have stuck with me have given up on trying to drag me back into the system. They still don't really understand what the ideals I'm striving for though.

Extraction creates disconnection, unification is love, consensus governance is unification, Bitcoin is loving. To stop participating in extraction and to more deeply participate in unification, is how Bitcoin fixes this.

Missed a boost last week (and apparently the week before) when I was traveling to my sister’s wedding and definitely missed my 40HPW last week. I saw a real person wearing a Zues Wallet shirt. I stopped and pointed and said “hey Zues Wallet” and he just ignored me. My vibes were pretty low after being ignored IRL. I just put my head down, put my headphones back on, and caught up with 80HPW this week!

A good antidote for pleb slop is the local Bitcoin meetup. Ditch the plebs on the sloppy socials and join the pioneers on the local frontier. Can't find a meetup? Start one!

Pleb slop psychosis is unconsciously holding so many back from achieving their potential. Sad…

🫡👍🏻👍🏻

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.

Great conversation! Keep up the good work gents! And my boost amount is not demonic! Greaser and Palmer understood it immediately! It's just stupid teenage boy shit. I would boost 58008 but I didn't buy Bitcoin in 2010... I need to order some Peony Lane wine now!

Spilling coffee is the adult equivalent of losing your balloon 🎈

Interesting how the data on chain folks are the biggest maxis. #40hpw

I think she’s Lyn’s alter ego

I hate I'm not going to be able to make it to Vegas to hang with y'all. Give everyone a hug from me! (not that anyone really knows me - but some do!) Tell Marty I still appreciate his candor in Nashville. Odell, though, I'm still a bit saddened about his cold shoulder at "the Park" to me and my wife.

👍🏻🫡👍🏻

I feel like listening to podcasts at 1.0 is pussy shit. Kind of like men who think tennis and golf are real sports.

I slowed down the speed so I can absorb as much high signal pleb talk as possible. Super weird listening at 1.0 speed!

Yo yo yo 🫡🍄💪

How do you become a subscriber? Fountain shows your "bonus" show and played about 90 seconds of it but there is no option to subscribe. The frontier does not have good UX for we few pioneers!

Want to add another badge to your purity test sash? Attend your local Bitcoin meetup! 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.

👍🏻👍🏻

Sounds like the conference was good, might be onto something with pleb daycare. #40hpw

Great to hear y’all and sounds like all the hugs were worth the trip alone! Wish I had been there to give you a hug too! Good thing Dennis Porter didn’t get close enough for a hug or you would have poked him in the leg! Y’all didn’t say anything about the RHR Hotstyle Takeover. Sounded like they turned your mics on mute and only gave you soundboard permissions!

Wore the “Bugle News” red shirt in Vegas

Hugs are underrated

Next year hug inbound!!

🧡⚡️💜

Keep up the good work gents! I almost crashed out yesterday paying my taxes. Barely afforded them this year. Hate I won't be able to see y'all at the Podconf Superbowl! Sounds like a fun event with RHR and Pubkey!

👍🏻🫡

The biggest problem with the old way of podcasting is that the podcasters are monetizing thier audience by selling someone else's stuff via sponsorships. Podcasting 2.0 monetizes the actual value the podcast delivers. Start a podcast to sell your value not someone else's slop.

I have not yet played in the mesh rabbit hole-interested in joining!

I appreciate listening to a podcast where I’ve given all three of y’all a hug! Keep up the good work gentlemen! Lol, Otis was the GIF of the guy who sees something, makes a face like “this might as well happen” and then unzip! 🤣

Last episode is the first I boosted and y'all can't get the boostes to work!? Lol WTF

The white Eddie Murphy!!! 🤣🤣🤣

@npub1luwkteu2e… Yoooo!!!!🫡🍄💪

Love the intro song!!!! 🤣🪩🕺

Fiat subsidy has homogenized our roles in relationships. The majesty of our roles will return once we live lives more in tune with nature. Give up convenience for truth and let the magic of life prevail.

I feel so bad we aren't coming to LS this year! I'm going to miss out on all these connections but have to keep telling myself my family comes first and bringing my whole clan was just not possible this time. Y'all have a wonderful time! Y'all's discussions about these opportunities to contribute are so hard at such a distance! I'll really miss the chance to maybe be part of a podcast episode! Y'all give each other plenty of hugs since I won't be there to do so myself! I feel the same way Phundamentals does about events being over. It's a psychological condition and sometimes I feel like I build up so excitement for events that I don't even actually enjoy the event itself! Y'all lock in and focus on the moment. You are correct that once it's gone, it's gone forever...

👍🏻🫡👍🏻

I will spend the rest of my days searching for the mother of all nodes. #40hpw

I am sometimes naked whilst listening to podcasts.

Have fun at Lake Satoshi! Sorry I won't be there this year! 😢

👍🏻🫡👍🏻

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.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Missed boosting the last few episodes. Can't miss the Bugle show. Really appreciate all 4 of y'all! Keep up the good work, the good coffee, the good reporting, and the good discussion!

Increase you #40HPW🎧by 69% in 2026

Y’all need a diabetic advisor? Lemme know, I’ll be your Wilford Brimley... I expect I’ll have 1776 mosquito bites by July 3rd and then 2026 total by July 4th when the fireworks end! Place your bets!

If you're not listening to @npub1563z6kxmv… , I highly recommend it. I look forward to every episode. #40hpw starts with Bugle Weekly podcast. What are some of the top pods in your queues?

250 mosquito bites on the 4th or you’re a gay fed.

Given my situation, I am considering renting glaze (even if it's at a loss) to make sure enough glaze is directed towards what I believe in.

🤣🤣🤣

Happy gayyyyyyyyyyyy month

I like the reference to Iris by Goo Goo Dolls! Keep up the good work boys!

Did Stranger Things manifest these broccoli haircuts? 🥦💇‍♀️

😵‍💫I can't believe I forgot to boost again.... Hope y'all had a great thanksgiving! Dick Greaser is married?!? Anyway, I've been listening to Linkin Park lately. I guess Maria Carey is coming up soon.... Keep up the good work bois!

Loving the crash outs

Have y’all seen Dream Scenario? I don’t know how to explain it but I absolutely loved it! I think it’s my favorite Cage Movie! But yes, Face/Off, Con Air, etc are like watching Creed’s 2001 Thanksgiving halftime show performance! Dream Scenario is like singing One Last Breath at a karaoke bar with Nic Cage and Scott Stapp

Keep up the good work gents! Really enjoy y'all's discussions and it's holding me over until I can get back to Lake Satoshi and listen to Rev speak his mind about all the things he has bouncing around in there! And hopefully someone will start boosting from South Alabama or Florida panhandle area with a meetup.

Bitcoin And... Is how I stay in the loop. Essential listening for the #40hpw

This episode was full of excellent quotes from David! First I want to address when he accidentally said “Bitcaster” which is something I was thinking about lately instead of saying “Bitcoin Podcaster” - Imagine how many extra Bitcasts you can squeeze in during your 40 HPW if you don’t have to say the full “Bitcoin Podcast” term! Another quote: “I wake up and look at Twitter and I'm in a bad mood. Wake up looking at Nostr I'm neutral” And this quote was the best: “If the first thing you see in the morning is a Penis Dorter Nothing-Burger then you become the nothing burger!”

I see so many people I once held fond opinions of as fuck boy clowns now! #Pioneers #40HPW #Bitcoin 🫡🍄💪

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Pre listen boost. A few of my favorite Bitcoin podcasters on one show!!!! LFG!!!! 🫡🍄💪 #40HPW

Keep up the good work boys! Hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and are having a happy new year!

Quantum is a fake and gay VC scam until it can factor a random three digit integer. Until then my young kids are smarter.

Looking forward to seeing y’all at Lake Satoshi! I still need to plan our entire trip.... They have mosquitos up there? Nothing like we have in the South. I’ll bring the sunburn, no sunscreen, a voice for potential karaoke, and if we get attacked by something other than mosquitos then you know I’m the pudgy pleb who won’t be able to keep up. One last hug and then y’all can make your escape!

Going to be a great summer!!!

Thanks Goys

Outro song is 🔥🔥

👍🏻👍🏻

BREAKING: AIPAC ALIENS! What if the aliens don't bleed? There will be no blood for the tree of liberty.... Rod sounded sad this episode. Is everything OK buddy? I’ll karaoke a song with you at Lake Satoshi. I know my wife will sing a song too if someone has karaoke set up!
