Anyone know where nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy got that styling Bitcoin hat? I’m not a hat guy but that might change.

Great episode btw.

Four years ago, my grandmother called in a panic.

Something about the election results.

When I didn’t seem bothered, she pressed.

“Biden’s going to ruin the country. I’m old and it wont affect me, but I’m worried about you, your job and your family. Aren’t you?”

I smiled. I was still working on boats at the time, but I had a plan.

“No, Nanny. I’m not worried about my job, or my family’s future. No president is going to determine that. Don’t you worry about us.”

A lot has changed in 4 years.

- I’ve been blessed with 2 beautiful daughters.

- A new career that doesn’t feel like work.

- Financial independence.

And now, another election.

Both sides convinced that this is the last election, should their party lose.

I can’t promise the fear-mongering, extreme opinions or polarizing news will abate.

But I can promise you this:

The next president isn’t going to determine your future success.

You will.

A link to the #bitvm white paper: https://bitvm.org/bitvm.pdf

If #nostr is vying to be a replacement for X as the world’s real time town hall, we need to work on discovery.

I wouldn’t know #Bitvm was a thing if I only used Nostr, and I follow the vast majority of those that are engaging over on the other platform.

Shout out to nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 for hosting a masterclass on covenants in the latest Bitcoin Review Podcast.

Also really appreciated how he pushed back against the idea of appeasing Bitcoin Core contributors to the extent it jeopardizes the underlying value proposition of immutable money.

Couldn’t find it on #Fountain so sharing the Spotify link (from 2 hours 7 minutes in, as proof that I’m guy #2 that enjoys the conversations in their entirety, alongside mithrandir) 😂

Keep up the awesome work!

Scratch that. The Bitberry.

nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev‘s latest episode on the Fall of Rome was as enlightening as it was concerning, given current events.

As good as the original article was, I found the take even more riveting.

A must-listen on #Fountain:
