 Sorry, don't agree. Really hoping I could help my friends to benefit and get ahead. But do acknowledge it is not working and unless someone is ready, no argument  is going to help them adopt. 
 Why is it that when most people think a disaster is coming,
their first thought is "buy toilet pa...

 Thank you for making us aware of this speech. Just watched it and find it truly wonderful he stood there and basically relayed the BTC message around freedom in every aspect for everyone. I just hope nothing happens to him, as has in the past with leaders trying to cut ties from this tyranny.  
 Much of the education a doctor receives in med school
 is actually big-pharma mis-education. 
 Thank you for calling it out. This message does need to come from within, the rest of us plebs are just a weird bunch when we make such statements... 
 That stat of the halving every 6 years really hit me. When you think of your earnings in that context it is just mind blowing. If we didn't have the falling of prices as per @Jeff Booth's theory offsetting some of it...once you digest the magnitude you come to the conclusion on how criminal/evil this is! Great podcast though @preston! 
 Ok, watched some videos you guys recommended & read some crypto history…

 So happy if we can give back a bit for all the good you've done through education on nutrition and quality of life.   
 Current discussion and speculation around the 25 v. 50 fed cut is fascinating   when coming from a bitcoin standard. Also makes the current system look as dysfunctional as it is, if this has such an influence!

 Welcome on Nostr, great to see you here with such an important message for health & energy. Complements Bitcoin perfectly. Bitcoin is freedom from FIAT and state oppression, Carnivore is freedom from Pharma! 
 Hi, what defines an inactive address? Stopped mining for a period? Like what yiu guys are doing! 
 You all are so far ahead of the Twitter curve. I’m explaining to someone about fractional banki... 
 That's the result of listening to hours of your and other BTC legend's podcasts over the years. Thank you for all you taught me!

 Awareness  is growing and spreading. In countries that have been spared of high inflation, the current context has a positive and that  is we can address the topic and ppl are more likely to listen. This coupled with the ability to have bitcoin as a denominator give us the tools.  Post the storm there will be sunshine. 
 Tick Tock next block....Nice 
 Learning while securing our freedom. Don't care I'm running a fiat deficit doing that😁 
 Brilliant discussion! I encourage everyone to listen, such upbeat vibe, full of optimism. Thank you 
 Good point! I guess first step is to stop censorship and next to find solutions to solve for your valid concern. Cheers 
 Thanks for all you do Lyn, I've learned so much from you. Cold & Distant?? No way! I wouldn't watch all these Podcasts featuring you as a guest if that was the case. Thanks again! 
 So yesterday  I went to a shop and wanted to pay with the 10 swiss franc note below...hadn't been here for a while. The lady told me, these are not valid anymore 🤔... I had 3 of them. @Jeff Booth, made me think of what you always say....pieces if paper, worthless in this case! My sats will still be useful to my kids one day wherever they go 😃, that is guaranteed!

 The Bitcoin Monetary Science - It's a fascinating time to be in and learn about the Bitcoin monetary system and its effect on société, changing incentive etc. This is all new, and I find it so interesting to see how this science or field is evolving. All these books and podcasts exploring theories, feeding of eachother's ideas, hypothesising about the impact on really all facets of life. We will look back at this time and think of Saif, Jeff, Lyn, Parker to name just a few of the writers I've enjoyed as the founders of this new academic field... I can foresee a future when this will be taught at universties as a course of its own. I think the rabbit hole analogy is wrong, eventhough I'm going down it myself. A rabbit hole is narrow, dark and constraining. Whereas the feeling you get is more like enlightment and freedom. Thanks to all that are contributing to this emerging field!
@LynAlden
@saifedean
@Jeff Booth
@Parker Lewis
 
 Oh man, you gotta watch this. Jack is on fire and tells it how it is. Stop thinking we are stupid, bail out of this system and stack sats.  
 Excellent discussion and encouraged me too to buy the book. @Natalie I really like how you always ask the guests to explain it for a layman, eventhough you obviously have the knowledge. It helps to follow the arguments through properly and truly understand the reasoning so one can build upon it. Thank you 
 Highly recommend watching this podcast, I really enjoy how you guys explain all of these scenarios, provide context to make sense of it and then crack a few jokes...feels like sitting with a few friends and having a good time while piling on new knowledge. We'll done and thanks for posting the link! 
 How to ensure content is decentralised?

Hi all, I'm new to nostr and wonder when we post a link to (for example) a youtube video how can we ensure that content is  decentralised and can't be censored? So others can view it even if it was pulled? Might be important one day 🙂
just learning... 
 Sorry to hear about all the great folks at Swan losing their jobs today. 
 I've noticed that OCEAN mining pool has just halved its total Hasharate to 500 Ph. Was Swann contributing to that pool? Regardless a big drop, hope it's only temporary. Think it's an awesome pool to support!

 That announcement made my alarm bell ring very loudly...we need to be hyper vigilant

 Trusting you guys and contributing the little mining hashrate to your pool. Hoping this will decentralise the network further to ensure its and our future. Thank you for your Ethos!

 Hey Mate, same here. Trying to figure out how I can contribute... such great minds in this space, showing this is not a fad but people truly thinking about the present and future to make the world a better space I find. For now I figured having my own node would help and learn as much as I can. Opportunity will present itself.. for both of us! 
 So everybody is trying to explain why the price of Bitcoin is going sideways...Miners selling, Mt Gox, ppl taking profits etc. What I don't understand is why would the history of price  manipulation for Gold or Silver not apply to BTC? And don't get me wrong, I hope it is different, just don't understand the details. Hope someone can explain..

 A friend called me last night while he was watching the debate and said: I think you’re right, ... 
 Interesting thought but great point...Curious to see what happens
 next. Might confirm your theory 
 This interview is a gem. So informative and fun at the same time. For me  it triggered a connection to 'the price of tomorrow' Even information is deflationary.... 
 Great discussion Nat! Re the powerlaw it is important to realise that    it is referencing US$, paper money which is not a correct reference as it is being manipulated. The time scale is ok. 
Super Interviews, really enjoy them!
