I do think the answer is video - which I’m working on.

We try to stay within guardrails but things happen while we talk and we go off the rails.

Wish I could say the ep we dropped this morning was any better but I’m very inspired to do examples

Highly productive.

We discuss it on nostr:npub1kqrddzzl6xng2wn0n0eyyjnf6smwmtp8m5atetzjw7vqyngwrphs4ye5xu quite regularly.

nostr:npub16amgefg0phkqkxtv4v49k96kmy9ypgka93h5vp4z7xd472dfc9nswc43ym is a regular. HIS truly nostr:npub1luwkteu2eq2e97n7hw0tlj03vvgguzl0srm3vkxz2jt75wpaf9tspt9cqr is a super rare opportunity to hang with close friends. These opportunities come up only once or twice a year - and usually require getting on a multi-stop flight

Take advantage of the opportunity to hang out at nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h and let’s make the evening TRULY SPECIAL!!

Thank you for the kind words and for listening!

Phish is the honey badger. The song Possum represents the nihilism that good people resort to when demoralized. It’s the CODA of a long tale about a tyrant who gets overthrown by rebels only to see those rebels continue the cycle of tyrany.

Possum is about a guy 500 years after the tale we’re told, seeing a possum get run over and finding it funny as though none of what happened in that world really mattered. The national anthem of nihilism.

Phish is constantly resisting the pull towards nihilism- they are still putting out their best music even after 41 years of fighting the Fiat monster.

Bitcoin would help a lot.

Thank you nostr:npub16e3vzr7dk2uepjcnl85nfare3kdapxge08gr42s99n9kg7xs8xhs90y9v6 for the logo as always.

I could see if you don’t charge for the liquidity you could have a zero tolerance expectation of me utilizing the channel I open.

But you charged a significant fee for then channel (more than what nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 charges for its LSP). It’s not unreasonable for me to assume a “use as needed “ approach to it. Force closing it with no communication is fucked up .

I also contacted you to ask about it and got no response .

Maybe you’re just a software provider and charged me 20k sats by accident. But you don’t answer email so there’s no way for me to know what you’re thinking or doing.

Holding is very important but don’t ever think that a circular economy isn’t.

The circular economy got me a roaster who might turn into a lifelong friend.

Think bigger.

Yes - I don’t disagree with you here. I truly hope you do thrive.

The idea of Bitcoin being like real estate in Manhattan is from the context of value appreciation meant to be an analogy for Bitcoin:

It isn’t wrong but it’s incomplete because 1) holding real estate there want necessary to thriving - it’s a bad money; and 2) it takes a lot more than just sitting on the investment to survive the world that is becoming more tyrannical.

Your opening question was ok - would I sell something that is clearly going to appreciate in the future for a meal now. Then you altered the goal post of whatever the goal of that question was ignoring that my original point hasn’t been refuted. It felt like you were just trying to trap me into a contradiction.

They don’t grow on trees. You have to build them in a trust network that you also have to build. This is not an honest discussion - wish you well friend.

It is a moot thought experiment

People just piling up assets are going to be subordinated to those who build the circular economies. You can’t even live inside your Bitcoin and you can’t trade it for food unless you find a vendor who wishes to do so with you.

Beats the current system for people who are parasitic but it’s pretty obvious that those who don’t see the value in spending it in the manner I’m describing are parasitic.

Eating enough fiat money to buy bitcoin doesn’t make one productive.

If the world lost all of its real meat and I found people who could feed my family steak in perpetuity - it’s a no brainer. (Hypothetical - of course).

Would I sell the only home I’ll ever own for a meal? No. If you cannot earn bitcoin then you are destined for Michael Saylors propagandized world designed to turn you back into a debtor. You can’t add value to an economy if you can’t earn as part of it.

Appreciate you nostr:npub1ec7rqh20d00pqc9uxxf7ruv0xcvah0vexzpd5kpcl46yj84pme4suggn5k

While I haven’t used the podcast yet to discuss how utterly disgusted I am with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm for selling me a liquidity channel and force-closing it after a week - I’m sure they’ll go nowhere near us once i do.

Makes me happy we don’t have any sponsors because we can still freely spread the word of such treachery.

I read this post to introduce my good friend nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z to our podcast episode. This was a banger!

nostr:note1m7q5ed6ft9l20s3anwxnaqtzjdcppy225agdg8d3xrylgzztnwvsajnm3y

We had the great nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z to discuss the 8 forms of capital and circular bitcoin economies. What does it take for a culture to know they will outlast Blackrock?

Also really appreciate the feedback. I don’t take your efforts lightly.

I get it. We will improve. I’m not already tailor made to make this easy. All those people are off doing something else, not trying to teach us.

It’s me at my skill level. I’m working everyday to improve. In the mean time, the show notes will have supporting video and I’m working on a YouTube channel.

Thank you for being with us even though it’s difficult. I promise I will make it worth your while if you stick with us.

It’s a gravitational connection: Prepare to see it everywhere and for the ride to be bumpy.

Circular bitcoin economies are what make diamond hands.

Spending your bitcoin at Burger King doesn’t make much sense - you might as well sell it to an exchange - but I get why people think these are different.

Spending your bitcoin on a friends time because you want them to see how valuable spending that time on your task is - this bitcoin isn’t sold off right away. This bitcoin is HODL’d within a community that wants to direct each others time in a particular and focused way.

Bitcoin circular economies isn’t about buying soap or trinkets - though they may do so strictly for the fun and the ritual. It’s a deep agreement amongst the members that Bitcoin is crucial to their way of life.

These communities and economies will outlast the Microstrategys and Blackrocks of the world by centuries.

What are you building now anon? Who are you building for?

Most frustrating NPC way of thinking around math is the question:

“When am I ever gonna NEED to know that?”

It’s a complete cop-out from learning anything challenging and it’s so widely accepted that you can’t even discuss anything cool in math for a minute without someone asking it.

Here’s a life tip:

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SKILLS YOU NEED BECAUSE, IF YOURE NOT A TOTAL LOSER, YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE MANY MANY TIMES OVER ITS LONG TIMESPAN.

YOU ARENT LEARNING FOR YOU - YOURE LEARNING FOR THE YOU THAT YOU WILL BECOME AND SOCIETY WANTS TO LIMIT WHO THAT CAN BE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

STOP LETTING THEM!!

That is all.
