Harking back to our music lists, I think “sweet Jane” is, pound for pound, my favorite song of all time.

Original pressing. Friday vibes #tunestr https://video.nostr.build/20c79c9c39b3434e0fd82b20255f4ec532cc3e03612d5955fd5d8eb78b7a070e.mp4

"A new ECB blog post debunks #Bitcoin’s promises" is, on its face, one of the most comically unserious sentences I've ever seen.

Also somebody needs to get ahold of Trey’s low time preference skincare routine and post it. Not a single crow’s foot in sight on my man!

This conversation was so fun. We go deep on Bitcoin and progressivism and toss around some probably unexpected ideas and conclusions. Ultimately I continue to hope we move toward new political coalitions through and with Bitcoin. Thanks to Trey for having me on! nostr:note1umryshvlysgt8z4ewe986ttul5qfz6dtnfkk42gt6mnfpue44lnqhsyesf

Happy birthday, my friend! And congrats on all you’ve accomplished this year!

Agreed 100% 🤝. I could listen to Cornell acoustically cover children’s songs and be moved. His version of “nothing compares to u” is incomparable.

Thankfully I’ve never even allowed myself to be tempted to enjoy velvet revolver. My shamelessness does, luckily, have some limits.

“Doesn’t remind me” is one of my fav Cornell songs though. When I’m thinking about him that’s usually the song I throw on.

😂😂 I mean, honestly, it’s just “plush.” It gets to me. Still shameful, I know. It’s a flaw.

Erect and crying somewhere

I like the idea of Chris Cornell more than the idea of Scott Weiland, but if I’m being honest with myself I think actually enjoy more stone temple pilot sings than soundgarden songs.

Unsure if I feel ashamed or not.

Gm #nostr, Brazilian music is great.

For many politicians, this emerging bull market will be the first time they’ve really seen #bitcoin not only not die, but rise from perceived (and/or desired) oblivion.

Bitcoin is much more salient in the political consciousness, now.

And I think this means a few things.

Politicians will be forced to consider #bitcoin more seriously, which will of course mean more sedulous attempts to fit it into their existing, partisan, political paradigms, however uncomfortable the fit may be.

What’s happening under the surface I think, with actual voters, is #bitcoin is transforming their politics and moving an increasing number of people out of or away from their prior partisan, political affiliations. It’s creating distance between people and our ossified two-party system.

So at the grassroots level bitcoin is changing, and re-shuffling political affiliation, while at the political class level politicians are (and will continue) trying to figure out how it fits into the existing two-party paradigm.

The bottom-up dynamics will be much more lasting, much more transformative, and, I hope, much more effective.

More and more people are becoming politically homeless. And #bitcoin is becoming a new consensus force pulling together what would traditionally seem to be strange bedfellows.

Anecdotally, every Dem I know who has spent any time meaningfully learning about #bitcoin is not thinking to themselves: how do I fit it into my current political party affiliation?

They are thinking wow this really subverts my existing political thinking in a lot of ways.

In the same way that Wall Street is capitulating to #Bitcoin (not the other way around), I hope and expect political parties to capitulate to bitcoin (and not the other way around), too.

This could and should create a very interesting, generational re-shuffling. It’ll of course take time to develop and progress. But I suspect we’re already in the early stages.

Niiiiice. Dude, so much to discuss with this list. Throwing mac demarco in the top 5 = major conversation starter. Interesting National selection too. Curious how close Boxer or Trouble Will Find Me were to cracking the list.

True story. I played bball my freshman year of college. Over winter break we stayed on campus for games. We were packed into a couple of houses, sharing rooms, etc because all other buildings were closed. One night a teammate and I were just chilling, having some beers, listening to the mtv unplugged album. The sun went down and the room got dark. We were both so engrossed in the music neither of us moved to turn on lights. And we sort of felt a flash of what we perceived to be Kurt’s presence. Next day I try to explain this experience to our relatively young assistant coach. His response, deathly serious: “Logan, you’re aware the NCAA conducts random drug tests, right?”
