Refreshing to see a leftist turned anarchist talk so openly about what opened his eyes. You usually don’t see that kind of mea culpa from them.

12k In this episode you talk about hosting bitcoin meetups as you travel around. If you happen to make your way through the San Francisco Bay area, come check out one of our meetups! We have several every month, and I run one that has a monthly cadence.
I don't think going to a meetup is an opsec issue. Just be mindful about what sort of personal info you're sharing with other attendees.

12k Now is a great time to set up peerswap on your LN nodes for unfairly cheap liquid swaps! I just did a 34 sat swap on one of my channels. Fees are low, take advantage!

10k Thanks for the Kvaesitso recommendation! Finally, a launcher that pulls the keyboard up immediately, rather than forcing you to shift your hand up to touch the search bar, then shifting back down so you can type. Android phones are friggin massive, and each time I have to adjust my grip, it's another chance to drop the phone.
Apple has had this search flow figured out since the 4th or 5th iPhone, so it's a little wild to me that this isn't the default behavior on AOSP. Is Google Android and Samsung Android also this backwards?

2.5k Re: crypto people not realizing they're part of a grift;
This is spot-on! I've met bitcoiners (ex-crypto employees) that have shared with me the same sentiment. Even worse, it's just the code monkeys and marketing people that believe they're doing good, the founders are well aware that the whole thing is a grift.

2.5k Just as you were reading off the boost from this episode talking about fountain's crashiness, mine crashed! It seems to only happen if I listen while I'm charging my phone. Wonder what could be going on there?

2k The coolest part about last week's solar mining report boost is that he got MONEY for his excess electricity, whereas the electric company would have otherwise given him CREDIT.

602 Great conversation! The platinum investing thesis has a lot of other rationales besides that one mentioned. Its worth checking if anyone is interested. It could be the next uranium thesis.
