thanks! I didn't know about the meaning of the song before reading this.

I've used Morrisons Fuel Card quite a bit (the only one voucher I found that was valid for fuel in the UK). also have used Asda, Amazon,Tesco's vouchers regularly. all on bitrefill from the UK

The studio is ready, Danny's flights are booked, and next week we’ll begin recording episodes for our new podcast.

I wanted to share the reasons behind this shift as many have been asking. Three primary factors influenced this decision:

1. I hate making remote shows—I never want to do them again. These interviews need the intimacy of being in person.

2. Traveling constantly has been detrimental to my health and my family.

3. My commitments here with the football club and local community are growing.

So, the solution was clear: build a studio in the UK and produce the show locally.

We’ve secured a fantastic space in Soho, London, and we’re ready to go but given the limited number of Bitcoin guests available in the UK or those willing to fly in, it’s time to retire What Bitcoin Did.

Our new podcast will be similar in feel but will cover a broader range of topics. While some episodes will focus on Bitcoin (though less frequently), most will explore other interesting topics or people.

Having made nearly 900 episodes covering a wide range of #bitcoin topics and guests, we’re now aiming higher. By diversifying our content and guests, we hope to introduce more people to the concept of sound money through podcast osmosis. If we get this right, it will be a bigger show, if we get it wrong, well we tried.

For a long time I have felt there is a need to get out of the #bitcoin corner of the party. Real Bedford FC was a way of integrating sound money into a traditional business model. CheatCode purposely did not include Bitcoin in the title, so changing the show feels like a natural next step.

Sometimes when stuck in the #bitcoin landscape you can lose site of how other people in the world think, lose empathy for the complexities of the world. I have felt this. I'd come home from spending two weeks with Bitcoiners and be with friends and family locally and notice a distinct difference in how we see the world. As everything feels like it is going to shit, I feel like there is a bigger job to do now.

The Bitcoin podcast landscape is well served, from Marty and Odell to Natalie and Preston, from The Blue Collar guys to Stefan Livera and anyone I haven't mentioned. There’s no shortage of high-quality Bitcoin podcasts.

However, there seems to be some fatigue in the space, with similar guests and topics being revisited. With our new show we want to bring fresh perspectives and ideas, aligning with sound money where relevant—think of the shows we’ve had with the likes of Eric Weinstein and Michael Malice.

On a personal note, I’m need the challenge, test myself wider, get fit and find a good woman. I can't do this travelling all the time.

When I started the podcast my life was a shit show - divorced, coming off drugs, heading towards bankruptcy. I've had an incredible 7 years, travelled the world, made amazing friends and got to live my dream by buying my local football club.

To everyone who has helped us get this far - the guests, the listeners, the sponsors, we could not have done this without you. I am forever in your debt.

I hope you’ll check out the new show and enjoy it, though it may not be for some of you. Regardless, Danny and I will work hard to deliver the best show possible, like we always have.

Roll on The McCormack Show!

thanks for WBD- looking forward to listening to the new pod. I'm sure you'll smash it!!!

try Settings-Feeds- then drag the = sign on the right to move, say latest, to the top. the default of Recent With Replies was too much for me and I didn't use Primal until I figured out how to get just Recent

After my first personal experience with censorship / deplatforming and watching nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m talk with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx at Nostr Riga and regardless of what happens with Simply Bitcoin’s YT channel we will be posting our news aggregation content, video content, and livestreams to Nostr regardless of initial viewership engagement

As a Bitcoin media organization we feel like it’s our responsibility to promote protocols where not only can people transact freely but can also speak freely without any risk of censorship

Appreciate the support from nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u and nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr on this front. If anyone else has additional resources for me so the Simply Bitcoin team can learn to post our video / livestream content to Nostr it would be highly appreciated 🙏

BITCOIN OR SLAVERY.

NOSTR OR SLAVERY.

... now with extra zaps! looking forward to continuing watching your content on Nostr. this is the wsy

My wife and I communicate in Always Sunny memes. we love it!

here's a little tribute

I use Insight Timer app, just the timer function, and do box breathing.

1. Breathing in for the count of 4

2. Hold for the count of 4

3. Breathing out for the count of 4

4. Hold for the count of 4

(I listen to an analogue tick tock clock for rhythm).

As thoughts come up, with kindness to yourself, bring your attention back to counting

Box breathing has been my go-to mindfulness technique- give it a go!

Mindfulness meditation - I just tried a new (to me) technique that came to mind whilst box breathing today.

Regular box breathing is

1. Breathing in for the count of 4

2. Hold for the count of 4

3. Breathing out for the count of 4

4. Hold for the count of 4

(I listen to an analogue tick tock clock for rhythm)

It occurred to me whilst doing this what if we extend the number count. I then continued with 8 then 12 for two rounds each. I did feel the urge to gulp air on 12 count come up so I didn't want to extend further this time.

If we did box breathing to the count of 15 (seconds) sections then we would have a 1-breath-per-minute technique. I wouldn't recommend going straight into this so I will look at developing a protocol and seeing how it feels.

Box breathing has been my go-to mindfulness technique- give it a go!

I'm really enjoying Scavenger's Reign, an animated sci-fi series on Netflix. Psychedelic visuals, unique alien plant/animals, gripping plot. Go check it out if that's your kind of thing.

Bitcoin looks a bit red- 'tis but a scratch (Monty Python reference)

GM! I've been at a yoga festival for the past 5 days - did I miss much?

5 hours remaining for my first ever 3-day-fast. Here is my fluffy friend giving some moral support.

I've only done an 18hour fast before so this has been quite a step up.

First 24 hours I had to work to avoid snacks.

Second 24 hours I didn't feel hungry, had good focus.

Third 19 hours to now, I'm starting to feel a bit weaker but no hunger.

On the whole not as bad an experience as I thought :-)
