I got to talk with the author of one of my favorite books this year! Jason Maier ( @cjasonmaier ) wrote A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin to highlight that #Bitcoin isn't just for libertarians or small-government conservatives, it's a tool for anyone who cares about justice, equity, and peace. He does a great job of laying out the environmental, social, and political implications and explaining Bitcoin as he goes - you won't be overwhelmed with information, but you will be astounded by our current system and the potential for change. So if you or someone you know has ever been interested in Bitcoin but turned off by some of the common Bitcoiner rhetoric, then this book is for you! https://fountain.fm/episode/gwQiQNPPPE5rMs9OcPD6

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’

"Your Honor, my client was merely safekeeping the 50,000 bitcoins on behalf of our clearly paper-handed government."

Jimmy Zhong Arrest Details Revealed in New Report

Zhong is now serving a one-year sentence related to the theft of bitcoin from the Silk Road marketplace.

Does the #bitcoin halving still matter to the price? Jesse Myers gives an argument I hadn’t considered (4-min clip) https://fountain.fm/clip/oGStcoQHcWlPOCMsjMqb

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 ( @npub1txp3...xacz ), founder & CEO of Voltage ( @npub15klk...4m73 ), 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?" https://fountain.fm/episode/tA4K7TsF4TuSmlazEbVG

なんとなくフィードに日本語が少ないなと思って日本のみのリレーを追加してみた

Added some more relays, not sure if it'll change anything

New episode of Beyond The Price! Spoke with Koji Higashi ( @npub17n53...j6ds ), founder of Diamond Hands, Japan's largest Bitcoin/Lightning community, about how he came to #Bitcoin, why Japan is more focused on Web3 than Bitcoin but also why he thinks that might change, how Diamond Hands came about and what it offers the Lightning Network, a potential "Bitcoin mecca" in Tokyo, and much more. Give it a listen and let me know what you think! Fountain: https://fountain.fm/episode/PRS603NEVXn3otUVtUUF Apple:

Is This Bitcoin's Japan Moment? (Koji Higashi, Diamond Hands)

Beyond The Price · Episode

It’s rarely my place to offer parenting advice, but technically this is pre-parenting advice so here goes: Don’t assign your beliefs to your unborn children. I see this a lot in religious communities (“Christian babies”, “Muslim babies”, etc.) but now I’m seeing Bitcoiners do it too. By all means, teach your children your beliefs, but don’t act like it’s a given they’ll embrace them forever. That only sets up a situation where they start to wonder (and you have to decide) if your love for them is conditional on them believing everything you do. Raise your children to think critically and be prepared for them to not agree with you on everything, even your strongest convictions.
