watched “jingle all the way” with my girlfriend
i love these 1990s movies with arnold schwarzenegger because they depict the peak of the american culture
everyone is financially careless and enjoys stuff the rest of the world can only dream about
and nobody is lecturing anyone for unapologetically enjoying life in this great civilization
makes me feel like i was born in the wrong place, at the wrong time – which used to be the whole point of hollywood
I sometimes think I’d have more fun interviewing random people who use bitcoin, like Bitcoin Uncensored used to do back in 2016.
But people don’t care too much about listening unless there’s a big name in the title to stir their interest.
Then again, I’ve interviewed Phil Zimmermann and expected the outcome to be incredible. Was disappointed to find out that bitcoiners don’t care.
They want Michael Saylor and other guys who tell them that they’re smart, super early, and bound to get rich.

10 years ago, i used to hate 1980s bands like the cure & tears for fears.
hell, even hall & oates was too cheesy for my ears.
but now i love this shit.

it’s happening!
this week i will interview the man who proposed a bitcoin block size increase in 2010, which satoshi nakamoto suggested was too early!
builder of bridges, believer in double segwit.
if you don’t know his name, you’re either new here or else got brainwashed. 
later today i will publish my interview with rocelo lopes 🇧🇷
we talk about securing your bitcoin stash, number go up hopium, and why the “t” in usdt stands for “trojan horse”
make sure you subscribe to the bitcoin takeover podcast! 
some people i meet at conferences are genuinely surprised when i tell them i’ve been doing my podcast for almost 6 years & i’m still going strong
then they scroll through the guest list and remark “oh, really nice! why didn’t i know about your pod?”
i don’t kiss ass, that’s why.
i reject any tribal label, i don’t fit into any mold, i’m unapologetically myself, i think for myself, i don’t suck up to anyone just to get invited into some social club
i do my interviewing job, try to do it well, then troll you on twitter for being a stupid cult member
this is who i am.
and if my tweeting style is preventing you from checking out my actual work, it’s your loss!

hi, make sure you subscribe to the bitcoin takeover podcast and check out the interviews from season 15!
your learning journey starts here:
just active op_ctv already
let the builders build and add more value to the network
under the same considerations, keep op_cat and bip300 in the back of your mind
everyone should get their chance to build layer 2s on bitcoin, let the market decide which one wins
watch out for my interview with nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp, which i will be publishing tomorrow
we talk about bitcoin upgrades vs ossification, we share some hot takes on hardware wallets & self-custody solutions
jameson even names the 3 cryptos he doesn’t believe are scams (hint: running grin) 
in case you missed it:
in s15 e65 of the bitcoin takeover podcast, Avihu Levy talks about enabling covenants on bitcoin without any soft fork.
give it a listen!
how come using your mobile wallet with your bitcoin full node is still difficult?
you gotta install the right version of electrum personal server that’s still maintained or else go for blockbook.
really cumbersome. wish bitcoin core could add the extra indexing as an opt-in feature, so then you can scan a qr code with your phone and connect.
nothing humbles your ego better than a free market that contradicts your expectations.
it can’t be and it won’t be “up only”, you gotta stomach brutal dips too!
