Show Notes

Jeff Booth, Jack, and Nick explore a year-long paper linking Bitcoin to fundamental physics, framing Bitcoin blocks as discrete, quantized units of time. They connect concepts from quantum mechanics and entropy to Bitcoin’s design, argue that its finite, discrete structure may be incompatible with quantum computing threats, and close with plans to experimentally test a Bitcoin miner’s interaction with zero-point energy in a physics lab in Chamonix. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:46 - Bitcoin blocks as quantized units of time challenging the continuous-time assumption in modern...

Signal BIP 110 this summer on your Bitcoin node. It's happening at block 961632, right now we're at block height 954260. There's lots of cool DIY nodes you can make, or run something through a cloud service. Just have fun with it.

Late 90s, early 2000s underground hip hop was the most submersive music out there. Eminem pre record deal album “Infinite” remains the greatest rap album ever.

Trying to keep pleb slop away from meetups is the wrong approach. Meetups are where plebs become pioneers. They come to the meetup because the are ready to put in the work. The meetup organizers are there to guide and teach pleb slop literacy. How to recognize and think critically about the pleb slop. To build a local culture that is aware of pleb slop but can consume it for what it is rather than be psyoped, gaslit, and generally mislead or distracted by it.

It really does feel like you're sitting around the coffee table listening to a great conversation. The pioneers are going to be half way through the first turning before the plebs even realize it's they've been left behind in the fourth turning.

Nooooo! You can’t sunset TWIB. It’s clear you put a ton of effort into the show. The sound effects are fun and all that but it must be very time consuming. I would prefer many more episodes of TWIB but maybe ease up on the effort it takes to polish it up so nice? It’s worth the trade off. Your news choices and opinions are very valuable.

Meshtadels are a kayfabe litmus test, meshtadels are built at the intersection of the group chat and the meetup. The difference between an echo chamber and a culture is the source of the propagation of the capital... Look no further than twitter for an example of an echo chamber, confused as culture. The twitter brain rot is at the same levels as AI psychosis lately.

All action is market activity. Every expenditure of time is a trade. Asymmetric information is how to trade and attain positive capital accrual. Freemarkets transmit information efficiently and the more specialized the information the greater the arbitrage opportunity should the market deem the information valuable.

@npub12eml5kmtr… and @npub1emdtsxly9… Are markets where you can place bets that are truly undeliverable (you don’t have the asset taking a futures contract that specifies delivery, or naked shorting), immoral? Do we call this fraud? Assumed risk by the participants? How do we define these kinds of scenarios? Because they do affect the price of assets.

    Most food for thought I've gotten out of a Bitcoin podcast in a long time. Bitcoin is the first natural digital system.

    Say what you will regarding channeled material - there is certainly a lot of garbage out there, but I have found some fascinating stuff. In line with this episode, and a recent episode of “The Path to Bitcoin” podcast (regarding “Quantized Time”) I am reminded of the following summary (courtesy of Grok) of Ramon Stevens channel of Alexander from the book “Conscious Life: Creating Your Reality”: (I boosted this same comment to relevant The Parh to Bitcoin episode) Chapter 3: The Primal Pulse (The Quantization of Time and Successive Appearances) • The universe doesn’t exist continuously—it is recreated fresh and new in every moment by the “primal pulse,” a rhythmic beat from a divine Source. • Your world (and all physical reality) “blinks on and off” in a constant pulsing dance, like frames in a film. • Time emerges from this pulse: The fundamental unit of time is the “primal moment” between pulses. All longer durations (seconds, years) are built on these discrete beats. • Space and time are inseparable, born from the same “womb” (the pulse). Each pulsation carries charge and pattern to the primal cells, sparking the next “version” of the universe. • This creates the illusion of continuous matter and motion, but at the deepest level, reality is quantized and successive—matter “appears” anew with each pulse, sustained by the ongoing vibrational transmission.{link: {link: https://fountain.fm/episode/vp6SQo9wqckuyBpiMOJo, hit: {_id: vp6SQo9wqckuyBpiMOJo, _guid: https://thepathtobitcoin.com/?p=5593, _origin: FOUNTAIN, _type: EPISODE, info: {title: Episode #184 – On the Same Page, subtitle: The Path to Bitcoin, publisher: Anon, description: , image: , rss: , audio: https://traffic.libsyn.com/thepathtobitcoin/Episode185_Pape…, duration: 2303, published: 2026-02-19T09:11:18.000Z, payable: false, start: , end: }, links: [show:id:0lpHT2GtEeOCLKRO83OR, show:guid:415a3445-758a-50d3-850c-d7b57a5b05c0]}}}

    What an episode. Holy cow. Still digesting everything. The lyric in the AI song at the end that is something like, “zero point crumbles to proof of work” has put like 800 more thoughts in my head about free energy and the difficulty adjustment. This is a must listen. Kudos gents.
