Decentralization is the key to everything.

Apparently now it's ok to publish articles on MSM about vaccine side effects? 🤯 Who flipped that switch?

He realized it's not in Twitter's best interest to lose you.

Most people find #bitcoin because of number go up. Only later do you learn to question everything.

New podcast is out. Episode 66 with Adam Back, Jameson Lopp and Austin Alexander.

https://www.bradmills.ca/podcast/jameson-lopp-adam-back-austin-alexander-on-bitcoins-evolution

I went to Satoshi Roundtable in Dubai recently & a highlight of the trip was getting to finally meet Adam Back.

I've never met Dr Back before, although I've interacted with him online quite a bit - he was just like you'd expect him to be - thoughtful, brilliant and tuned in.

Satoshi Roundtable has turned into a bit of a "crypto" event over the last few years, with the who's who of shitcoiners attending the event and focusing conversations on bubble bullshit like NFTs, web3 and DeFi nonsense ... but Bruce has done a great job of trying to prioritize Bitcoin and Bitcoiners at the event.

For that reason, a good contingent of Bitcoiners still go to SRT.

There was an opening ceremony at the event where hundreds of industry participants were brainstorming on the most interesting topics to discuss at the event.

Bruce had a "VIP" table in the center with some esteemed guests which included some government officials, royal family members and Adam Back :)

Aside from hanging out poolside and during roundtable sessions with Dr Back, I got to spend some time playing pickleball and hanging out in the hot tub with Jameson Lopp, discussing the Casa adding ETH situation among other things.

I also shared a drive back from Abu Dhabi with Austin Alexander and we got into a heated debate over bitcoin scaling & bitcoin culture and then getting in a good workout at the resort gym the next morning.

I figured that this was a great time to get a podcast done with 3 folks who I respect to discuss some important topics like bitcoin scaling, sidechains, and bitcoin culture.

Hope you enjoy the convo.

If you get any value out of my podcast, please leave me a fun review at ratethispodcast.com/bitcoin and I'll read it on the next episode!

I was not aware of your podcast; I'll add it to my rotation. This episode sounds interesting. Big fan of Adam; he knows how to stay humble.

Gotta learn about this. I looked into it months ago and didn't understand it I guess.

I've used Duo (without AI) and never felt like I was making much progress. Using a personalized AI-powered tutor could definitely be a game-changer for language learning.

I wouldn't call this a crash, so maybe not related: when I installed Mint on an older laptop years ago, it turned off the backlight in the settings because the backlight=1 flag was inverted or something. I had to add a runtime script to flip it back on when the boot sequence was complete.

The only way I figured this out was to shine a flashlight on the screen to see there was in fact something being displayed because otherwise it was completely black. I think I connected an old VGA monitor to write the script, then it was good to go for the rest of its life. Hope this helps.
