#Nostrasia is in 5 days! I spoke with organizer @mcshane about why Japan, how Nostrasia will compare with #Nostrica, what he's excited about this time, and much more. Check out our conversation on @Fountain and let me know if you're coming!

今週も頑張ろ皆

A while ago someone said we don't need more #Lightning apps, we need more apps integrating Lightning, and I'm starting to think the same thing about podcasts. We don't need more #Bitcoin podcasts, we need more podcasts about other stuff by people who also understand Bitcoin. Which is kinda bad news as someone who just launched an explicitly Bitcoin-focused podcast.

Morning all, happy Friday!

So sick of hearing the word ‘alpha’

Does the #bitcoin halving still matter to the price? Jesse Myers gives an argument I hadn’t considered (4-min clip)

The term "Web3" has a bad rap in #Bitcoin circles, and for good reason. At the same time, it's obvious that our current Internet is rife with problems, problems that decentralized technology offers solutions to. I had the privilege of talking with Graham Krizek ( @Graham Krizek ), founder & CEO of Voltage ( @Voltage ), about everything from Lightning to #Nostr to Ordinals to Taproot assets and more. Social media to mobile gaming. Perhaps "Web3" is beyond reclamation, but the next generation of the Web belongs to Bitcoin & Nostr. I think this episode is a decent one for Bitcoiners and crypto people alike. Feedback always appreciated! "Is Bitcoin the Key to Web3?"

What are your favorite tools & tips for optimizing your Nostr experience?

What does #Bitcoin offer Taiwan, caught between the ambitions of the US and China? Recently had the privilege of interviewing Louis Liu, CEO of Mimesis Capital, a Taiwan-based family fund. The conversation went in an unexpected but thought-provoking and prescient direction, covering questions like: - How is investing with a Bitcoin mindset different from a fiat mindset or crypto mindset? - How does investing in Bitcoin companies stack up against just investing in Bitcoin? - How is Bitcoin a middle path between two empires, the US and China? - What does Bitcoin have in common with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)? - How can Taiwanese protect their wealth as war looms? (Louis' family has a very personal connection to this question) - Is it unpatriotic to protect your wealth from your country going to war? All in all a great conversation that I highly recommend.

Who's going to Indonesia Bitcoin Conference in Bali on Oct 26-27? I interviewed organizer Dea Rezkitha ( @Dea Rezkitha ) about what we can expect from the event, what #Bitcoin offers Indonesians amid soaring inflation, and even how @Fedi will be not only a payment option at the conference, but the conference app itself!
