2Sats - Why is Bitcoin Mining Even a Thing?

Wat the fuck lol @npub16le69k9hw…

Sorry Paul is pretty delusional with his “Lightning story”, constantly defers to authority, this dev, that engineer… all he talks about is how someone else doesn’t like Lightning and has a bad comment, years ago. While in reality we are using it on a daily basis. Also what other shitcoin would work for 8 billion people today? Strawman.

Just want to say thanks to Mechanic for standing up and voice out.

Boosting before I even hit play bro

That guy Gene is so mad in the boosts LOL. Keep up the awesome work Marty. My only critique is the YouTube thumbnail makes it seem like its about seed phrase security when there's much more at stake here

Fascinating stuff man

Wen next episode guys? (:

You can pay proton using bitcoin by purchasing "credits" in your account settings (: bitcoin is a payment method when topping up credits!

1 soapminer = 1 soapminer 🔥🧼

Samson has some very valid points on Core and Knots.

This is simultaneously incredibly bullish and fuckn scary. Good episode! I’m not sure I’m fully convinced yet though. Self custody BTC just feels so much safer.

Jeff Booth is a fuckin giga chad

Great show!

First time listener, keep up the awesome work guys!

Awesome! Thanks for the great work!

Changing to the new show name with a bang! Much better name than Mr Obnoxious. Congrats

Thanks for the update 93k LFG

Well said Natalie

100% agreed you need both Medium of Exchange and Store of Value. The Bitcoin that are held by ETF custodian lose the MoE function. We gotta educate people as so many are considering moving their coins to ETF because “self custody is hard”. That would destroy Bitcoin’s value. SoV cannot existing alone.

Good guest even though I don’t agree with him on several points

Thanks for having Mechanic on.

I hear many prominent / high profile bitcoiners keep saying the reason they oppose Luke’s reasoning is because “filters don’t work” “it’s not easy” “I’m as opposed to jpeg as much as anyone, but there is no solution”. Now this potential soft fork is a solution. Do you still want jpeg and garbage on chain, or do you not? I think the true colour of many people will show just by looking at which way they lean.

While he’s not ENTIRELY wrong… as in I wouldn’t be able to say for certain that the state won’t do a 180 and turn against bitcoin and outlaw it (I agree that if our governments collectively outlaw bitcoin, anyone who owns in will be jailed for 10 years, then we could be in trouble), I think he failed to listen to Natalie’s point of “we are not seeing it”. Bitcoin being embraced by the elites is seen as a negative by Dave (“Larry Fink is not your friend”), but at the same time after Larry Fink embraces it we can be pretty comfortable that the “anyone who owns it gets sent to jail” won’t be happening.

What a fantastic chat. I’ve heard the Venezuela story before but still gives me chill.

Re: remembering dreams and having super vivid dreams. Turn off the circuit breakers in your house before bed. I started doing this and nothing else has had a stronger effect on my dream vividness and recall. If you run a miner or absolutely need some stuff running (i.e. refrigerator) just leave those circuit breakers on and turn the rest off. Telling you bros. Try it!
