THE DOLLAR MILKSHAKE & BITCOIN w/ Brent Johnson

⚡️👍🏻🫡

You had me at “Satoshi’s going to rape our nodes”.

Love murch 👍🏻👍🏻

The best example of core going woke was the blackist change in 2020. It's a particularly good example because the PR author explicitly did it for woke reasons: to use a "more appropriate" word and "make everyone happy". Contrary to Murch's claim that core tries to keep conversations technical (around 1:39:00), this PR had no technical justification at all. This was a good conversation, but if anything it made me even more anti-core. A lot of nitpicky weak arguments from Murch, and dismissive hand waving of valid concerns. We know there is more than one core dev, we have read the core arguments and we are still unconvinced. For all Murch's appeals for understanding the core position (I did make it to the end) he seems to have made very little effort to understand the position against this change. I read the "experts" letter, did he read the rebuttals? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19227

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

Nostr sneak peek ftw, great idea

Am listening now and really enjoying it. Great to hear from the OGs.

I like the clips.

Sats vs bitcoin is annoying but put the blame where it's deserved, which is Dorsey/Square. Maybe paying 900 bitcoin for something isn't confusing to Marty but explain to me how this is good for adoption because it's confusing to everyone else.

Seedless is safer is an attack on Bitcoin. Bitkey makes totally reasonable tradeoffs for noobs with modest stacks. But this is dishonest marketing at best.

🤣🤣”Al Qeuda democracy”. Love it. Keep up the sarcasm.

If you don’t boost the podcast on nostr, did you even listen to it? GM

The more anti-maximalist rhetoric you hear, the closer we are to the next panic induced downturn.

Great show. I’ve been worried about it but instinctively something didn’t seem right and you’ve explained my concerns really well. 🤣even though I didn’t even know they were my concerns.

Love Nifty bringing the positive vibes grounded in real BTC progress

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?

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.
