Never heard of it

TLDR? Been really cutting down on podcast time it’s never ending

Australian grassroots movement that started in 2020. Just bitcoiners self organising small conferences, with presentations, KYC-free, v4v, in tiny country towns for 3 days. Always finishing with a big cook up (BBQ or Pizzas)

Same. It's only citadel dispatch or some dev discussion/talk nowadays for me. Strictly the chilled out ones who aren't up in arms about everything.

I don't want the political, macro, markets or economics stuff anymore. I rather just go to some lecture that will break down the basics and draw my own conclusions.

I feel you brother. This episode wasn’t about politics, macro or economics.

Oh no, my apologies if you thought it was referring to you or your suggestion.

I was just talking about my own preferences. Will check out the episode you shared if I get the time 👍

I feel similarly. Used to listen to RHR every week. Felt like I didn’t gain anything useful most of the time. Following current events is almost always just rage bait and the issues are typically forgotten after a week or two. I find that sticking to theories and concepts are much more useful. The info is more likely to help you over a long period of time in various contexts. On the other hand, current event stuff is mostly rage bait. Once I identify the psyop, I try to move on. I don’t care or need to break it down or analyze it. Charlie Kirk was a psyop imo but once I recognized that, I didn’t bother going down the rabbithole about why or how it came to be. I’ve seen videos of people explaining different angles and how another shooter must’ve been on campus blah blah blah. The small details don’t matter they just waste your time. And life’s too short for me to waste more time on rage bait and psyops.

Yeah that's well-put

It's a shame that devs and tech folks, like Bitcoin++ organizers, think nobody watches their stuff and decide not to invest much in production of better quality videos.

It's difficult to discover them or share them as well as a result.

It’s just over saturated. Theres nothing left to talk about so they grab at fleeting topics or get ultra philosophical and talk about how bitcoin is the Holy Spirit in software form 😂

The 40 hours per week of bitcoin podcast meme might start to lose relevance already

And technical conferences/conversations are about preserving your sanity in a bitcoin maxi world 🤣

I prefer theory over technical conversations 👀

Yeah I meant technical theory lol

Still haven't gotten around to dev'ing

First principles 😂

Price crashes to the bottom - I'm in it for the technology

Price keeps crashing below the bottom - I'm in it for the principles

Price goes to 0. You gotta stand for something 😂

Best response to when a non-bitcoiner asks 'what happens when price goes to zero?':

This was excellent. I’ve made a similar argument that at some point it will be too cheap to not buy just out of speculation

So I'll see you at the bottom with my buy orders then 🫡

Probably not, I’m buying at 3 cents just to be safe 😂👀

YakiHonne slapped on a GIF button and I can't stop using it

Don't insult my gifs 😤

No I mean it’s literally not a gif 😂

It’s a static picture of a cat

Rugged

It working well from my side

I think some iOS clients have problems with webp images. It's animated on Amethyst.

It is animated for me also Im using an iphone to verify that lol.

That’s $84k. I can’t afford that 😭

Guess I’ll just stay humble and stack sats.

Oh shit, is it?

I'm a poor stinky Indian who can't even afford a toilet or shower

I withdraw my bid

It’s okay we’re all stacking sats to smell better 😭😂

Smell better, stack sats

The Indian Bitcoin way

And then i can stop making homemade curry and start getting it from an actual Indian restaurant

Next step after curry is to make Biryani

Sounds good. Is it spicy?

If you want it to be, yep

I haven’t been to one. Do you guys play bingo or something?

Yes
