BITCOIN IS WINNING w/ Matt Odell

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.

The bark wallets are great

I work in the MTB industry and am unaffected, like you using ai tools can be a big help as we’re a small team wearing many hats and ai certainly has streamlined business, legal and HR research. I do have a close friend in the Saas industry and he’s had to completely pivot creating a new service within ai or otherwise be completely replaced being a coder, hacker, ect. Just read the ai2027 piece you spoke about and agree that the level of uncertainty is creating a lot of fear. I’m personally largely a spectator, my background is largely anolog in the physical space, preferably in nature with aww inspire views, however I do my best to stay informed and it is fun to be able to hold a conversation with folks like you and my friend since nobody else seems to even have an idea of what is currently happening outside what’s on mainstream media. Wanted to boost more, trying to figure out how as I’ve done it before, see, just team try hard over here. Keep up the amazing content across all your shows!

For the love of all that is holy, please read the actual BIP. Lightning would not be affected. So much of the outcry I've heard against the BIP is either not true or has nothing to do with the technicals (I.e. philosophical/ideological) Start with www.bip110.org for the high level FAQ. It took me 10 seconds to look this up. I could be wrong on this, but I haven't seen any technical debates happening (i.e. "the BIP says it won't affect lightning channels becaue of X but actually it will because of Y...")

The great hopening. Can’t help yourself creating memes Odell 👍

I know that that these two don’t need any recognition here, but I’m still relatively new to this world and listening to graybeard @npub1sg6plzptd… and Mr GM @npub1qny3tkh0a… chop it up about their history, involvement in technology and Nostr had me fascinated. As someone who’s just recently booted up a node, created a cashu.me e cash wallet, and fallen deep down the decentralized protocol rabbit hole my little monkey brain really enjoyed this rip 🦅🤑

Ross is free! 🫡🫡

👏

Great signal and analysis here. Consider me subbed

This was exactly as long as my flight ✈️ 👌 Thank you, loved the show, really looking forward to the content change, will keep on listening!

Saying all the things I've been thinking after listening to multiple podcasts with Whitney and Mark making their rounds after publishing their new article. Glad I'm not the only one

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.

the core dev, lorinc, finding a critical consensus bug from sloppy coding in 110 was hilarious.

110 is an attack on Bitcoin. Doesn’t mean Core is perfect either.

@npub1guh5grefa… @npub1qny3tkh0a… 10:50 what is the name of the Nostr only short episode show? I reversed five times and still can’t hear 👂

Fuck Lava! Total rug!

👍🏻👍🏻

Agreed. I've felt bad vibes coming from Core camp since the very beginning of the debate before I really understood the issue. Glad we clearly agree on this 😁

👍🏻👍🏻

Trust the plan

🔥🔥🔥 the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson is the best modern fantasy series, fight me

Nostr sneak peek ftw, great idea

Dune movies have excluded all the inner monologue and 90% of dialogue so yes, it’s scene for scene action and absolutely incoherent as a story.

I learnt something today.

Effing a, boys!

Bitcoin therapy and an hour well spent. So many relevant topics touched upon that I’ve been struggling with with actionable solutions to immediately implement.

Marty, it’s Me-žin-skis

For those grappling with NGU and Freedom go up like me this is an excellent discussion amongst two amazing Bitcoin contributors in both spaces @npub1qwvv44dxm… @npub1j8y6tcdfw… . I personally have struggled to understand that without those explicitly interested in NGU, there will be no FGU. The altruistic ideals of Bitcoin mask our desires to gain wealth. Yes, we do want 7 billion plus people without reliable currency to be in control of their wealth, but this won’t happen unless the perceived value of BTC goes up. Oh wow, stray energy can be captured instead of flared into the environment to support the network making the currency harder. Not gonna happen unless there is incentive for those knowledgable to do so. Just a couple of examples that originally got me into Bitcoin, and for awhile I resented those that didn’t share my altruistic beliefs and only cared about their bank accounts. It cannot be one of the other, acquiring personal wealth via NGU is the only thing that will enable FGU in this decentralized system. We cannot rely on VC organizations to fund every project, @npub1qny3tkh0a… @npub1sg6plzptd… @npub1cn4t4cd78… etc can only do so much to bootstrap Bitcoin adoption, @npub12rv5lskct… @npub18ams6ewn5… can only create and GM #nostr and cash.me into existence so much without needing #bitcoin and #ngu validating what they are building. Lastly, the only way my friends and family will believe I’m not a psychopath lunatic is for the number to go up. Awesome rip @npub1cj8znuztf… keep podcasting this shit into existence!

Delivering new content with a fresh approach consistently is a sure fire path to a successful breakout podcast 🫡🫡

You got me emotional Guy, very relatable perspective shifting outlook and something I’ll absolute add to life’s tool kit whenever I need a firm reset on things. Embrace the suck I reckon, the juice is always worth the squeeze! Appreciate your work.

⚡️🔥🔥

The people using miniscript are people too despite their extra extra autism, NVK

I see the new ep out and I don’t even need to see what else is out there

This was a very short quarter mister Mezinkšis 😂 @npub1ath4je07y…

This panel discussion with @npub1yul83qxn3… @npub1cn4t4cd78… @npub1sg6plzptd… @npub1qny3tkh0a… from #baltichoneybadger was a banger, and the perfect companion while waxing my board for a potential powder day. Incredible to hear dynamic #bitcoin banter from this group and well worth your time/energy 😎 BTW, so cool to see the episode split for where my sats are going, appreciate the content creation y’all 🍻

Red Bull Bulletin magazine in German did a 21 page article on Bitcoin a few years ago =]

Love nogood 👍🏻🫡

"IBD speed has been improved! Why are people complaining?" Bruh, no one cares about one-time IBD performance with inscriptions, it's about the permanent storage requirements from the blockchain bloat. Hard tell when these guys are disingenuous or just that dense/ignorant of the opposition's steel manned position

Love murch 👍🏻👍🏻

👏

Bitcoin is a monetary network and we can't give an inch to make it become a garbage storage. It would make Bitcoin indistinguishable from any random shitcoin.

Off to brush my teeth 😂

👍🏻👍🏻

Really enjoyed the rip @npub1st4elxz4d…

Demanding 600 Bitcoin after you stole all of someone’s money is utterly insane

Bro WTF? Everything about their theft is uncommon compared to white hat. You can’t steal and then extort, that isn’t how white hat works. There’s an inherent power balance where you’re “negotiating” with your victim of whom you stole their money. If I break into your house and steal all your shit, will you feel all good if I offer to give most back?
