Those who know know what a big deal this is

Thank you for liking our posts 🧡

It would be a lonely journey without all you other 'conspiracy theorists'

Interesting takes by levels.io on lex fridman in the context of being a diginal nomad:

“Freedom doesn’t make you happy, constraints do” -levels

“I am free thats why i am lost” - kafka

Freedom is pretty great, but constraints (family, kids, relationships) keep us locked in and focused. Thats how i interpreted it at least.

People I orange pilled in real life.

1. Old boss who was already rich - 5btc (still has it)

2. Ex business partner - 10btc (lost it trading, does forex now)

3. Friend from college - 2btc (sold at 20k to help with his dads medical bills)

4. Friend from high school - 4btc (lost it trading, later tried to hit on my wife)

5. Friend from high school - 7btc (spent it on partying)

6. Wife’s friend’s husband - 3btc (sold it all and bought ethereum)

7. Cousin in law - 1.2btc (sold half at 40k to pay debts)

8. Father - 2btc (died 18 months later)

9. Friend from college 2btc - (still has it, planning to sell at a million)

10. Wife’s coworker - 10btc (sold at 4k, later got into bcash)

Save the long writing, give me the key points 🤝

If you’re writing a book to articulate a thought, you’re either chat gpting or don’t know what you’re talking about.

Please apologize my previous typing errors, using these open source keyboard apps with my different language settings sometimes come with their downside....

So for my odyssey away from the magnificent, here are my current pics:

1. Grapheneos OS smartphone

2. Vanadium mobile browser

3. Brave Desktop browser, brave search

4. Proton Mail suite

5. Libre office for MS office products

6. Nostr for twitter

7. Bitcoin for finance

8. Linux mint for desktop (LMDE?)

9. Umbrel or start9 for home server?

10. Signal & threema for messaging

There are several open questions as I am new to most things here...

After finishing the phone setup, I will wipe the desktop. Lastly over the next 6 months I hope to setup the home server. Here I think of an master slave mirrored system with different locations (if one house burns down...)

Any thoughts on it? Feel free to confuse me further (this tech stuff is also a deep rabbit hole)

Sparkling water is insufferable.

The amount of times I accidentally drank it in Europe has only amplified my hatred. Sorry, not sorry.

we aren't talking about ai+nostr enough

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!

Hello, I'm a developer from Finland and joined few days ago. I'm quite impressed about nostr and impact it could have on how we approach social media, privacy and censorship. I'm getting similar vibes when Bitcoin first clicked for me.

#introductions

Hi!

I just got back from a breathwork retreat in Hawaii and learned that @jackmallers shared the story of how I became a Bitcoiner through introducing me to @primal.

Jack’s right, I’ve never been very interested in money (or at least I thought I wasn’t). What I am interested in is people, our integrated health, and the implications it has on collective society.

Nostr helped me to understand Bitcoin not only as a superior monetary technology, but an unparalleled humanitarian tool. Here’s why I’m so bought in:

- It’s been proven over and over that safety is the foundation of integrated health

- Centralized unsound money = collective lack of safety

- Decentralized sound money = collective safety

- Collective safety = better integrated health & healthier society

It’s really as simple as that for me.

I’m grateful Jack shared my story because it perfectly illustrates how change happens. By making it matter to people in a way that sparks their fire. Jack is really good at that.

My spark has been lit. I look forward to lighting my neighbor’s through honesty, connection, and freedom - three tenets of bitcoin that make me a believer.

Interesting. Is it really that easy to load malware on your phone simply by visiting a website?
