Wow. Read how this Microsoft proposal nails why they should consider stacking Bitcoin.
They really should try this.

Shout out to this guy, the load-bearing linchpin that keeps my RV water and bays from freezing.
Yep, it’s already time for that in my neck of the woods.
I’m sure some of you are already preparing/prepared for winter? 
There has been news about the #Microsoft board voting to invest in #Bitcoin in December. But when you look at what they send to investors, they put the vote in the "board recommends you vote AGAINST" section.
It seems like this attempt is very likely DOA, at least this time around. Maybe they have to watch MSTR lap them a few more times first.
So don't get too excited. Maybe it will happen once the AI bubble loses some steam.
Hey... 👋 In case you missed it, the central banks went all in on attacking #Bitcoin this week. Some of it is safe to ignore, and they can cry harder. However, some of it will be the cornerstone of the next generation of anti-Bitcoin talking points, and all of it is based on faulty logic.
I break it down in This Week in Bitcoin: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/32
We'll be talking about and referring back to these papers for years.
Episode 31 of This Week in Bitcoin is OUT: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/welcome-to-inflation-valley
I lay out my view of the macro picture and why things can pump when everything is so broken. Plus, I gotta play some clips of Liz getting slammed over her crypto attacks, and I think I found some data about Bitcoin Hodler's impact on the election.
Enjoy!
GM 👋 very stoked. Producer Jeff is on his way up from California right now for our Meshtastic episode, with gas in his tank made possible by our listeners direct support via Boosts and Zaps.
Should be a great episode this Sunday. 😎
Hot off the encoder a new This Week in Bitcoin 🎉
I watched the HBO documentary claiming to reveal Satoshi and alter the course of the election, so you don't have to!
The whole thing leans on two critical bits of evidence, which I get into: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/the-satoshi-distraction
The episode includes a bunch of other news and a bit of a rant about why I am sick and tired of this constant hunt for Satoshi. Enjoy 😆
Is there way for a pleb to listen online to the ham radio chatter coming out of North Carolina?
This entire thing smells like an attack on Trump by using hype around Bitcoin and Satoshi to draw attention to it and make a connection to someone politically toxic. A pathetic October surprise.
Cullen Hoback is making it. He is known for his series "Q: Into the Storm," which "exposes the QAnon conspiracy theory."
That is already a red flag. But the tease for the "documentary" is also revealing:
➡️ "If its findings are widely accepted, the disclosure could send shockwaves through world financial markets and even the U.S. presidential election, given the way Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump has cultivated the support of Bitcoin enthusiasts."
The Bitcoin community should prepare for the anti-Trump crowd to put this "documentary" on blast after it comes out.

Mystery creator of Bitcoin identified, new HBO documentary claims – POLITICO
The wife and I have been camping in the woods for a few days. Nothing is quite as recharging as the peace and quiet out here.
Turns out there is something to this whole touch grass thing!
Imho we have let the crypto skeptics get inside our heads. I think as a community we should lean into the fact that boost are powered by bitcoin. As a small business, I’m grateful to have support in a hard asset. It’s helped me fight inflation and keep my head above water. Bitcoin is an intelligence test, and I don’t need everyone in the world listening. I want a great audience, not the biggest audience possible. These are things we should lean into as a podcasting community trying to offer an alternative to mainstream crap. Go Podcasting!

Adam & Dave get into some hot image based namespace talk, Entropy and a new kid ...
This is only the third time in recent history that the Fed has started rate cuts with a 50 bps cut. The previous two times, the economy crashed.
I'm leaning towards a dip at best and acknowledging a recession at worst.
I don't know about you - but I always plan for maximum pain and hope for the best. So even with all the rate cut hype, it's wise to brace for the worst - at least short-term.
It will all come down to the jobs reports, but it may not be what you expect.
I try and make my case in This Week in Bitcoin: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/rate-cuts-like-your-job-depends-on-it
👋 GM and happy rate cut day everyone!
So I'm curious what Nostr thinks will happen next? Pump and crash? Nothin but pump? Something else?
👋 Looking for a beginner's primer on Self-Hosted Lighting? I made a clip of easy to advanced options for getting started.

This Week in Bitcoin is out after being off last week. 🫡 Macro is still driving things this week, and I discuss what's happening there.
I'd like some feedback on the breakdown of how Bitcoin gets associated with scams and gets a bad rap with Boomers. Multiple attacks on Bitcoin's credibility were designed to scare Boomers away from Bitcoin. I get a little fired up.
I would like to hear what you think if you get a chance:

Killer value to the community this week in taking time to talk patiently with Rob at Libsyn. Good work!
Really been enjoying the board meetings recently. Happy belated birthday Podfather 🍻

GM ☕
I'm prepping for an end-of-summer Linux news round-up episode today of LINUX Unplugged. This summer, in particular, it feels like not much has happened in the last couple of months, and then this week, everyone is back to work. News is dropping like crazy, and we have a packed show.
I dream of a future where LUP takes the summer off. Embrace the lull!
Then come back roaring 😺
I'm opening the stream with the arrest of the Telegram CEO. We have to speak up; Telegram is just the beginning—a trial balloon.
👋 Hey Nostr friends.
I won't do the plug thing much on here unless it's really worth it. I think this one might be. Over the next few weeks, as we get closer to the Fed cutting rates, you're going to see politicians, the fed, analysts, and the media say "the battle against inflation has been won!"
I dedicated this week's episode to why that's probably wrong, and how that might impact Bitcoin: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/23
GM. Could some doggo lovers give me some advice? My good boy Levi is getting older. Jumping on the couch, the bed, and other things injured his driver's side hip. He's about 7.5 years old.
I hate to see him in pain; he's such a good boy who is active and happy when feeling well. But now it seems he can't even lie down without it hurting a bit. :(
Things I know we are going to start doing:
Get him steps for his favorite spots.
Focus on healthy foods with omega-3s.
Give him a little doggy acupuncture?
Any other suggestions would be welcome!
