If I told you I owned the Empire State Building, would knowing how to get there jeopardize my ownership of it?

It’s September 2025, you sold a Bitcoin for 250k and bought a Lambo.

It’s September 2035, that Lambo cost you $10,000,000.

Pizza day is permanently on repeat.

Plan accordingly.

This week on The Block Reward we are in the studio with the one and only nostr:nprofile1qqsr8djpqa2nr8cm8zuuxly3gfgujk58wmaweh3ke58uvdwr2kc88fgpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgty0pem

Had a ton of fun stepping outside of the bitcoin world to talk about one my favourite rabbit holes. The anomaly of why we stopped building beautiful, timeless buildings

Received my signed copy of The Big Print today, thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsxc56ajk5xtxerf4dqspgrfa0s5elrcr80lnz9nasldq87j3zzf0cpqqq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7ppshj0! I want to share a quick story about this book because it’s really such an amazing personal experience of the power of the human connectivity supercharging Bitcoin adoption.

When I started studying Bitcoin in 2020 Larry was one of the minds I latched onto right away. I went through a good stretch of watching every appearance of his I could find on YouTube.

I was thrilled to meet him when I did and at the time he was someone I was starstruck to have talked to.

Flash forward and we got chatting at @CdnBitcoinConf in Montreal and he took a copy of my book (which in itself was so cool). After reading it he started asking me questions about the process as he was sharing the idea for the book he wanted to write.

I was fortunate to see various versions of Big Print along the way and each draft I saw I had to pinch myself that it was happening.

This is the magic of Bitcoin. A decentralized movement to solve humanity’s most pressing problem.

I strongly believe that any action we take creates the possibility for something greater.

Today there are people out there who don’t understand bitcoin yet, that will play important roles in what is to come.

Someone will be their Larry Lepard.

Take action. You never know what might happen next.

Larry is doing the rounds and there are tons of pods telling his story right now, but he’s our guest on TBR this week. It’s a conversation I enjoyed immensely. (Link below)

Thank you for the incredible book Larry, I can’t wait to read it again.

A friend shared this with me this morning, it’s amazing how many movies in the late 70s and early 80s were truth bombing like crazy while barely anyone was paying attention. Feels very much like this is what’s going on now. The movie is Rollover.

The Josh Mandell phenomenon has been something to watch.

The skepticism and bewilderment around his underlying methodology is a broader reflection of our disconnection and disbelief in the inescapable fact that the entirety of the universe is designed in perfection.

Our Western model of the universe, which emerged from Newton, assumes a physical experience constructed of separate particles, randomly smashing into each other.

Everything is connected and governed by universal law.

Even Bitcoin.

This week on The Block Reward we are talking AI payments and Lightning with nostr:nprofile1qqsrjxqeute0zwusetrjp9qeadt5aa7q686wsxr8lsjvg73uuh52yjqt2yvlj

Really enjoyed this one!

Cultural flourishing is impossible in a pay to survive society. My thoughts on how the physical world we create for ourselves will transform as Bitcoin changes how we think about time, from the @AdoptingBTC conference last week in El Salvador.

Our local meetup tragically lost a great bitcoiner last week, a father of 3 little girls with another on the way. He had figured out bitcoin in 2017 and been stacking for his family ever since.

Touched by the outpour of support online, we have decided to organize donations for his wife and children.

Take your bitcoin inheritance plan seriously. None of us know when our time is up.

RIP Cody you are missed my friend.
