Tonight it was my turn to cook dinner, so I went full Romanian and made “mămăligă cu brânză și smântână”.

Added a sausage to make it more unhealthy 🥓

Rate my girlfriend’s pizza 🍕

On Friday I’ll livestream S15 E54 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast with nostr:npub1pww7030g95nv9ptfpgfu69jpfxj6pm33xxueztsupwekce45wx4sm6en60

He currently runs one of the most popular Wasabi 2.0 coordinators, takes no fees for mixes & is a big advocate for Bitcoin privacy!

Did he press the “buy” button on behalf of these people? Or are they mentally disabled to the extent that they have no ability to think for themselves?

Listen to my recent interview with Bitcoin OG Charlie Shrem, the former CEO of BitInstant and one of the first people to go to jail for defending Bitcoin’s monetary fungibility.

What happens if everyone who wanted to buy bitcoin already bought it, but nobody really needs it outside the speculative investment thesis?

In this interview, nostr:npub1c878wu04lfqcl5avfy3p5x83ndpvedaxv0dg7pxthakq3jqdyzcs2n8avm explains why he is still bullish on Lightning, but ecash (Cashu, Fedi) is not the solution.

Enjoy!

Next Friday I’m interviewing Charlie Shrem!

He said he would clarify his views on the Bitcoin block size wars. Maybe also reflect on the current state of Bitcoin.

He’ll also tell some cool OG stories from the BitInstant days.

It might get spicy 🥵🌶️

Until we have that figured out, Monero, Zcash, MWEB Litecoin, Zano and everything else is fair game and has every right to exist + build.

Not gonna lie, Cake Wallet looks pretty amazing.

Puts many Bitcoin-only wallets to shame by integrating Lightning, Silent Payments, debit cards, ChatGPT, buying, selling & swapping in a very simple user interface.

It deserves more credit for prioritizing privacy! Even if it doesn’t pass the silly “purity test”.
