Since I’ve been obsessed with the book “The Mandibles” for months, is was happily surprised to hear that nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5hgfg9w had made an interview with the author. A woman who’s the most hardcore bitcoiner, but that doesn’t know she’s a bitcoiner.
My favorite part of the interview is when they laugh at the insanity of the US debt—31 trillion at the time. “How the hell are the ever going to pay that back?!”.
Today it’s 38 trillion.
Check out the interview, it’s fucking great, something to watch instead of red candles.

If I’m not mistaken, I think she got a bitcoin or so from donations(maybe I’m not remembering correctly). Price at the time was 23k that’s a 270% increase at today’s price. Maybe she needs to come back on nostr:npub10atn74wcwh8gahzj3m0cy22fl54tn7wxtkg55spz2e3mpf5hhcrs4602w3 for an update?
she received more donations than i received throughout the entire lifetime of dispatch 😂
~1.21 btc
checked in last year and she told me she will “hold until the apocalypse”

The freaks donated a massive amount of sats. She did not touch it afaik v
Yeah, O’Dell worked pretty hard to convince her and then make that happen!
Agree, awesome interview! And, the dirty secret: debt is never paid off. It just refinanced -- until it cant, and then it defaults.
That’s pretty funny. Lionel Shriver was great in that rip and I enjoyed the book too. I’d say invite her onto nostr:npub10uthwp4ddc9w5adfuv69m8la4enkwma07fymuetmt93htcww6wgs55xdlq but, you know……………… nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy
Refuses to read it.
Added to the list… much thanks
Thank you mate
Every time I hear the debt number I laugh, then cry, then stack a little harder.
Great interview and novel!

I couldn't read the whole book myself. The characters are fairly wooden. But I recall at the start she wrote "look what happend to bitcoin". So, unless there is a plot twist, she didn't quite get it. Still, her coverage of the economy is pretty solid, though exaggerated for effect.
That was an amazing interview. I agreed with her publishers' critiques of the book though that she mentioned (dense and hard to follow the characters). Honestly I think if we had AI turn the book into a timeline of financial decline events it might be more useful.
How to become a whole coiner 101: go on Dispatch 😂
