@Peruvian Bull Apparently when a frog is put into boiling water it'll be unable to get out of the water and die. Conversely, when you gradually heat up the water to boiling it will jump out when it becomes uncomfortably hot. Pretty sure that was one of the many myths spread by Al Gore. It's a really useful analogy, but apparently frogs do a better job than people jumping out of their respective pots. Also its fucked to think of how we even know these things. Probably from French cooking. Loved the podcast though.

Is the theory that soldiers won't fight for a worthless currency being invalidated right now in Iran? Honest question.

It's an embarrassment that @Michael Saylor is still talking at conferences. Imagine how fucking dumb you have to be to have the headliner at multiple @The Bitcoin Conference be someone who doesn't want people to use Bitcoin as money. Who thinks the lightning network is a curiosity for gay nerds. And who wants to make a fiat stable shitcoin on top of bitcoin that you use instead. Now he's promoting solana stablecoins. What the fuck are we doing here?? How have we not run this sociopath out of town?? Podcasters need to start asking him actual questions like, "Why don't you want people to use bitcoin as money?" Or "Won't bitcoin inevitably be turned into money despite your efforts to the contrary? And won't that undermine your business? And so your interests will be counter to the entire network's interests and eventually you will start saying really wonky fucking stupid shit about solana and stable coins, mike?" But somehow people see no issues with someone like that doing keynotes at their conferences, not to mention having a "leadership role" in overseeing protocol development. Its embarrassing really. #podconf #bitcoinconference @walker @MartyBent @ODELL @nat brunell @joey @Len AKA The Lengend⚡ @Rod Palmer 📯 Bugle News #40HPW🎧
