attended Nostr Valley and left super bullish about Nostr.

I’m so excited to finally attend this. The past 2 years something came up but the stars are aligning now!

Definitely try and make this if you can!

Great episode! Cheers to e autists who verify their cryptography!

Then he dropped straight alpha on us!

Disclaimer: Anchorwatch is not a sponsor and almost certainly never will be but we did glaze them and Rob a lot.

Did we glaze too much? Let us know in the comments 😂😂

Sometimes

We’re discussing what it takes to go from an acquaintance driven economy to being a community that rigorously holds each other accountable

This one delivers so much signal it’s actually painful for me to listen to it.

Had such a great conversation with

HiveTalk, AI, Nostr - the future is in the palms of our hands if we’re willing to build it.

I am extremely proud of this podcast I did with

Hive Talk is one of my favorite projects on Nostr and I was so happy to be able to dig deep with karrot on that and many other things.

2nd time guest Mark Goodwin joins us to just talk about how much we love this band and what they’re doing RIGHT NOW

Mark also gives some AI conspiracy theories on Phish

I've been known to speak things into existence on my podcasts. It happened again!

Rob and I decided it was time for a lesson on markets. BIP110 was never mentioned - the outcome doesn't impact anything we discussed. The topic of markets is way bigger.

Odell explained an impossibly nuanced situation pretty damn clearly and echoed my views almost perfectly. Excellent job Sly - you just might be really good at this podcasting thing.

Had my clanker write me up a blog post addressing a few points about BIP110

This episode came up a lot this weekend so I’m sharing it again. Few things are more important for a performer than to read the crowd and have exact timing on what they expect from you.

Had such a good experience at

The conference is special to be able to hit the vibe they hit while still being perfectly comfortable with great user experience.

Would do again 10 times out of 10

Bitcoin users won’t survive a society imposing purity tests. Valid Bitcoin transactions are the purity test. That’s the beauty of it.

The rest is up to the users to be the best possible versions of themselves. Some of us might survive the next 10 years.

Bitcoin is not inherently immutable.

It’s going to be a long process to co-opt humanity into making it immutable, largely by attempting every possible way to change it.

Humanity needs to determine what is immutable about ourselves before we can have a shot at having an immutable money in our rear view window.

We must evolve and upgrade ourselves to it. Understand the protocol and also understand yourself.

Nobody will do this for you and Bitcoin will no longer “moon” for us as we currently are.

Newest episode of the Magic Internet Math podcast is out!

and I deliver serious alpha from poker and gambling.

Mathematics is a pathway to God.

Certainly "doing math" is not. But learning it for its own sake - for no other purpose than to get closer to God - not ever asking "why do I need to learn this?" or "what advantage will this knowledge give me" =

Getting closer to God requires dissolving yourselves of the notions of gaining advantage through knowledge. If you can spend an hour learning for no other purpose, you build a skill that is surely useful towards getting closer to God.

Understanding God as the identity element of an algebraic structure has potential implications and insights whose exploration paves a clear pathway to his divine presence and wisdom.

Such a structure always has an inverse element, so any action you might do that takes you away from god always has an associated action that can have you return. This is the highest learning that algebra has ever taught me, though understand cryptography and building conviction in Bitcoin is a nice result as well.

i'm beginning to think that all paths that include Bitcoin being successful have man understanding God as a first boss. Bitcoin is pointless outside of God's context. You wanna end the Fed? What do you think will replace it outside of God's context?

Every Bitcoiner should familiarize themselves with the term “Mark to Model” before they try and understand too hard how the world operates.

Mark to Model is the intellectual dead end that killed the last remaining intelligent remnants of TradFi

Bitcoin cannot live in a Mark to Model world. This is why the capital rules treat us with such draconian impunity.

Trust me that we do not wish for this to change

Bitcoin is not a think that anyone understands. It is not money. It is not property. It is not any “thing” and you are nobody to limit it to any of these things.

Bitcoin is a clue to a bigger puzzle. The clue is not useful to people who think they already know the answer.

Bitcoin is valuable - ONLY - to people who can acknowledge that they don’t understand what it is and what it’s here for.

Perhaps it’s entire value is to make us inquirers because the people who “think they know” are most certainly NGMI

I converted Saylor's MIT dissertation "A Machivellian Approach to Economics" into a YouTube series.

This particular video is highly revealing about the way Michael Saylor views executive power and the impact of societal norms on executive ability.

If you are not hopeful of humanity, you’re not going to navigate owning and HODL’ing Bitcoin very well.

NGU requires no faith in humanity. But getting through your fears of what people will use the chain for and how they will leave it for our descendants requires a strong faith in our better selves prevailing as a species.

Bitcoin won’t alter humanity or fix a God-damned thing unless we allow it to and that requires the utmost faith that humans will make it work.

Did Phish snub the Grateful Dead? Did they snub Bitcoiners?

We get into it!!

AI seems a lot like amphetamines. Great to use for a month (or two if you’re really building something new) then take some time off to recover and build real world scaffolding for what your AI did.

Ppl who use AI for their jobs all day are going to end up having psychotic breaks.

Only self employed people have the ability to take weeks off to touch grass exactly when they need to.

might be the most important man in Bitcoin.

If you don’t spend your Bitcoin, you’re not HODL’ing something as valuable as you think it is.

Bitcoin could be the best and most powerful money in the world but not without nostr:npub1htzyjm7q6540hz8emsrvdtasdvv3vrjkskclq9hl39g8336pt57smmn5yy - I don’t make the rules.

Things have to be hard. That’s where trust in God is paramount. Nothing matters more.

Jordan Bush and I really get into it.

Our time in Vegas was capped off by an extremely special Phish show at the Sphere.

Started a podcast about Phish and Bitcoin's connections Did 40 Episodes while starting to collect phans Then Phish schedules their Sphere run coinciding with the BTC conference We all go to a show together.

It was magical all the way around
