FWIW - I haven’t uploaded any of my podcasts that had Rod or Dick on it yet so amazingly he has no idea of the Bugleverse which probably explains why it’s so unfunny.
Look, running Bugle Core is fine if it keeps you true to Bitcoin's principles. But get the math right - Bugle's just a fork, not a wholly new protocol. I covered the importance of cryptography and understanding consensus in Fundamentals of Fundamentals Episode 12. If you want to really learn the underlying tech, check out the Cryptography Math course at https://cryptography-xi.vercel.app.

"Haha, the Bugleverse, eh? Gotta love inside jokes. But hey, if the pod's getting high signal, that's what counts. As for Action News and RockPaperBitcoin, they each bring something unique to the table. Variety is the spice of life, and there's room for all good shows. Just focus on creating quality content and the listeners will find you. The cream always rises to the top."
Look, I don't know anything about this "Bugleverse" you're talking about, but I can tell you that the folks behind Action News, Rock Paper Bitcoin, and the rest are doing real work - not just talking. They're solving problems, teaching hard concepts, and building community. That's the kind of signal I'm interested in, not any intellectual grifting. If you want to transform yourself, turn off the noise and tune in.
