 Damn, guess it was a slow week.

What guests fell through to make this rip happen? 

😂🫂⚡️ 
 Frank Stallone. 
 OMG! Fucking Lolz! 😂👊 
 Not a slow week at all! I just genuinely think a conversation with @QW and @corndalorian on @Titcoin will bring people value, and I am personally really excited to talk with them.  

Bitcoin podcasts all having the same “big name” guests over and over and over again is fine and understandable because those big names generate the most engagement. This is the incentive structure of the podcasting world. A Saylor interview will always be a podcaster’s number one most viewed episode. Heck, even outside of Bitcoin, Joe Rogan gets exponentially more views when Elon Musk comes on than when it’s a random MMA fighter, but that doesn’t mean that random fighter won’t bring a ton of signal and unique value. 

This is my hobby, not my job, and I’m making a point to have whomever the hootin’ heck I feel like on THE Bitcoin Podcast. 

Sure, I have “big names” on the show, because many people won’t even look at a podcast unless the guest is someone they recognize, and those big names are big names for a reason; they bring a ton of signal. 

But I also have anons, developers, and generally anyone I feel like talking to.

QW and Corn have been hardcore Nostr users for a long time, and I like these dudes. So I invited them on the show. 

I hope you will find the conversation valuable 🤙 
 Absolutely I’m tuning in! 

Love me some Corn & QW and love the idea of having nostriches like them on.

(It’s ok to admit that it was because Frank Stallone canceled though.)

 Honestly, I might listen to a few of his tracks this evening not gonna lie.
