 ETH "HODLers" are the Dumbest money. 
 Eth solely exists to not allow btc to hyper inflate against the dollar.  It's a direct attack on bitcoin to not allow the price to go up.  It's working. 
 It is the case and the question is if it's worked enough already and who has a motive to suppress the corn.  ETH-BTC spread

Not sure about pawpaws but this place has a massive selection of local produce.  If they don't have it could probably point you in the right direction.  If you gave them a call they could probably help.

 You've mentioned this before and I have commented this to you before.  I'm definitely one of the individuals you influenced and showed a path forward with bitcoin.  I was already primed but your early podcast appearances pushed me over the edge. Grateful to you for that 🤙

There is a reason people will take advice from a shrink/internet random instead of a family member or friend. 
 Your phone isn't listening to you without your consent; you're just too lazy to adjust your privacy settings.

 Use a vpn.  Turn on all your privacy settings and disable all the tracking settings.  Eliminate everything google.  Takes awhile to get through.  My phone is so locked down it makes it hard to use some apps at times.  

Trade off of privacy and convenience. 
 I have no doubt that's what they would like to do.  There are plenty of ways to eliminate tracking and location services on the ispyPhone to make it less creepy.  Most are just too lazy to do it.  Takes a good 1-2hrs to start chopping it down.

 The boomers have no clue about the propaganda they consume on a daily basis.  The scary thing is they all believe they are well informed. 
 My experience as well.  Where you consume news directly correlates to your political leanings.

If you're not actively out seeking alternative information you're stuck in the matrix. 
 They do have like a default mock worker on there.  I think it's kind of an example.  I just leave it there.  Have been running braiins for ~4 years and has been there the whole time. 
 Correct.  You will have to set a payout address (on chain), after 1M sats they will payout (without fees) to that address.  They can payout more frequently but they charge you some fee.  

I do believe they have some lightning payout option as well but I have not experimented with that. 
 Out looking for that cold wallet you lost boating years ago? 
 The percentage rate on debt is the de-facto default rate on all similar debt.  

If 90% gets repaid, their interest rate should be at minimum 10%.

Interest rate is literally the rate at which debt defaults.
