Muh 4 year cycle reeeeee
I think NGU was a narrative from easier times. Now it has the full weight of the fiat banking cartel sitting on it.
Yes. But some people crying a bit too hard imo.
Get rich quick people get washed out

OGs won’t sell forever. Also do we really have enough info to conclude already?
“I was promised infinite riches and big titty bi…” waaaa waaaaa
The influencers LIED to meeeee
The influencers lied to me starter pack:
>buys his 6th signing device in a row
>started stacking less than a year ago
>listens to podcasts all day
It's the stacking hardware devices that gets me. You don't need more than 1 when you're starting out 😂
Those crying the hardest:
-have a cold storage stack of 150 bucks and change
-DCA a dollar a week
-need Bitcoin to moon so they can retire
High time preference is helluva drug
Haven’t listened to a podcast in a while but I remember being really happy during my bitcoin podcast binging days. I wonder why it doesn’t hit the same anymore. My best guess is it’s all repetitive now lol
They have their tongue far up the influencers’ assholes 🤣
They need bitcoin to do a x100000-10000000 for them to retire comfortably
I guess a new OP meme is coming soon 🤭
You already know what you need to do. No need to listen to ads all day 😂
Podcasts back in the day were totally better than they are today. Back on 2019-2022 was when I was on the podcast binge and it was great. Nowadays you just have pods that talk about ETFs and regulations and macro. I can't remember the last time I heard something interesting about Bitcoin itself.
It’s not hitting hard enough these days 🤭
TFTC back then was crazy. With the intro 🤌🏾
I think before Nostr it felt like being part of a community. Like you feel less crazy because these people share your views. Now there isn’t really a need for that because I have my frens here🫂
That's really true. Bitcoin pods were filling several holes in my life back then. They were like a bridge.
I started in 22 and listened to a lot of the older stuff. I agree it felt like there was a lot of interesting and useful info being shared. I remember Robert Breedlove and Jimmy song doing a deep dive on democracy the god that failed. But now it’s all rage bait and/or click bait current events and trending topics. If the information isn’t valuable beyond the current trend, you’re just being monetized imo. It’s like the difference between reading a timeless classic book and an article talking about the current thing which people will forget about in a few weeks or less. One gives you timeless wisdom and the other is useless brainrot.
Can we has some of that ngu? 
I felt less crazy with them lol if we lose nostr, idk what I would even do haha
👋
The whole OG thing doesn't add up to me but anyway I'm a retard
Bitcoin Audible was good too because people were actually writing interesting things. I listened to nearly all of BA's backlog, skipping the guy's takes at the end.
I really wish I saved all the best episodes someplace more permanent. They'd be great to go back and listen to. Those past episodes really are like classics, but now they're diamonds in the rough. And now I can't imagine how many pods you'd have to listen to just to find a segment that's as good as those.
Please blackrock, just let it pump a little. I gotta feel something!
Thanks Saylor for the dump 🥀
Oof, don't even want to think about it. Maybe I'll just do a 180, sell all my Bitcoin, and become a regular on a furry discord.
I haven’t listened to his podcast until relatively recently. I like the pods he does where he forms a big picture about a certain topic. My favorite was when he went through the Ross Ulbricht timeline. Since I wasn’t around when he got arrested, it really helped me understand how corrupt and malicious the attack on him really was.
We also had Svetski going on all sorts of interesting tangents. Spiral dynamics? Multimillenial shifts in human civilization? Mycelium? Gimme those all day over yet another story about an IOU sale.
It does seem a bit more sanitized now. And it's hard to trust someone when they pause to tell you about how great Trezor or Bitkey is.
I do still hear some interesting enough updates from RHR, and Bitcoin Optech keeps things focused. And I gotta hand it to @Nunya Bidness for things like Cathedral and the general focus on relating Bitcoin's incentives with agricultural innovation and general best practices. If nothing else it's a nice break from some of the news that gets to be a grind.
I came into bitcoin podcasts from macro and geopolitical podcasts, and that's still the area they're often more interesting in. For information about Bitcoin itself, aside from when there really is news, you're better off with a book or a conversation. Get to a Bitdevs!
As for the podcasts, I'm not dropping them, but it's some signal in a high noise environment very dependent upon who the guests are. 1.75x listening while working or otherwise doing things is enough so that I can catch if something of interest actually comes on.
Oh saylor why hast thou forsaken me?
I wonder if they were archived
🫂
You mean fedcord?
Retards together strong 🤝
Why is this one on saylor?
One of my favorites. Packed with stuff
I know he shilled stuff later but what an episode 🔥
You guys think he’s the one that falls this cycle or no?
Precisely 😂
I'm only in one channel now cause of an MMO I play, and those guys are mostly cool.
You play World Of Furcraft too 👀
Listening at 1.5x speed makes me feel cracked. Idk if its helping or contributing to brainrot 😂
We're done early.
Note of the day right here.
Yeah I learned SO much from Guy. Nowadays though I don't get the same vibe from him as before.
World of furcraft 🤣🤣🤣
Some guy in a YouTube video was saying that there’s good discords for path of exile 2. I’m doing just fine with websites tbh
It’s actually called wof 🐶
There really is ZERO reason to listen to BTC podcasts. If you know what it is, how it works, and you know how to get some and store it securely, that's it. Job done🤷🏻♂️. Any new snippets that you need to be aware of, you'll trip over them on here🙏🏻.
What is this one about? Might give it a listen
I only ask because YouTube won’t allow me to preview it in Yakihonne
That's actually a great slur for FF14 😂🤣
Maybe the issue isn’t that podcasters and content creators suck now. Maybe it’s that we’ve grown so much that it’s no longer useful to us anymore 🤷♂️
He's the one buying for the US gov. Spook asf
🤝🤣
Thank you, sir.
I don't think he'll fall, but he's going to make his allegiences known at some point.
I would be very uncomfortable lmao
Just goes over what bitcoin is. It's packed with info in just 30 mins
Is this a good one to give noobs?
Idk. I was a freshman when listening to it
I once saw a wolf mask in person once and I steered waaaayyy clear of it.
There were so many great articles back then too. Amazing to read them
Conceal and carry is super easy with a furry suit. That and mental illness
You can hide a LOT of mental illness behind a mask. That's why they were so popular during covid.
I hate all of it…
Feel like I would be a lot happier and have less stress if I never discovered bitcoin and was just a blind normie investing in the ponzi stock market instead of this broken asset
At a comicon convention or something similar sure. But in the wild like that 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
No, thank you 😉
And why ice agents do too
@Nunya Bidness is definitely an exception to the “buy another signing device” podcast circuit
Government hitmen
Nah, you (and me) aren't crying. Saw some posts begging Lyn about "muh bull run" and just made me sad.
Complaining playfully is another story 😃
Bitcoin And . . . Is definitely one of the best. It and TWiB are the only Bitcoin pods I still listen to regularly.
Sometimes if things are really low signal:noise I've gone up to 2.5 lol.
But yea if it's really something I'm taking time to chew on I'll slow it down. Or, often enough, take what I heard and throw it into AI to dive deeper. I had Gemini basically make Tom Luongo and Simon Dixon have a debate that I directed the other day after their back to back appearances on Simply Bitcoin which helped get my head around what Tom meant when he called Simon a London asset.
It's just important to remember that podcasts are more like a dashboard, and not a replacement for real research. They put things on your radar, but at least most of them don't go much below the surface. And as anyone who's used radar knows, MOST of your radar is pretty ho-hum. But you continue to use it because when it puts that one blip in front of you, it can change everything.
I've done the same thing with RSS for years for news, just skimming hundreds of headlines a day. Ir's how I found Bitcoin when Slashdot covered it in 2011. Something I picked up after reading Transmetropolitan. The big thing to remember is to leave enough time for the actual deep dives. Rather than more surface scanning. When I find myself not getting to my reading list is when I start looking for podcasts to cull or at least get more selective about listening to.
Just Hodl 😉
Btw FUCK Saylor
TWiB I actually got introduced to by a coworker and was one of my more recent additions. Very good find, as Chris is quite good at keeping it efficient and not making it too much about his own stance.
I've been enjoying some of the drops that are just audiobooks or classes too -- Bitcoin Infinity with Knut's books, and The Bitcoin Standard podcast with Saif dropping his Principles of Economics class lectures free. Admittedly both are more about economics than Bitcoin's technicals, but as someone who doesn't need the amount of naps I get when I try to read Mises directly I'll take it.
Oh you can usually find old podcasts on fountain. And then save or snip them up too. I'm still finishing up Svetski's Wake Up podcast -- about 75% done. Works better for some than others; the shelf life of news podcasts is quite short. Those are often pretty timeless, even if some of the lockdown content is a little tired.
His focus seems to have moved more to AI. Which is fine, but I do agree classic content was more Bitcoin signal.
Maybe one Coldcard and one seedsigner. If only because silicon does fail (my first Q died). They replaced it with great service but having a second is handy to avoid interruption.
Also, Liana is a great tool to play with. And seedsigners can do Nsec's too with NIP-06!
That said, lol, nobody runs ads for seedsigners...
I was promised girlfriends 😡
This is where the macro podcasts are decent, like Nik Bhatia or Jack Mallets. Bitcoin's fine, but fiat liquidity has been very tight for awhile, which it never had been before in Bitcoin's lifespan.
Most people don't know the first thing about how the Eurodollar system works. Even the Fed stuff which we pat ourselves on the back for being aware of mostly only gets you halfway through the 20th century. The Fed's centrality to the dollar is something to take with a LOT of salt. The move from LIBOR to SOFR has somewhat given them a little more pull than they had but a LOT of the collateral flows happen offshore entirely outside of the reach of any American institutions and nonetheless are very consequential for the dollar.
I always tell people to check out Perry Mehrling's Economics of Money and Banking from 2012 on Coursera to get a primer on how money works, and even that's a little dated now.
All I got was an AI girlfriend 😭
Not fair
One left one crucial element out. Paper btc via futures 🥀
Good news is, she's hot. You guys look good together.
Without the makeup though 😅
😂🤣
Still hot…from all the processing 🤭😂🤣🤣🤣
Smoking, even 🔥😂
Smokin' 🤣
🤝
🫡🔥👌
🤣
"Babe, calm down."
lol that gif tricked me 😂
I'm less worries about futures. Perps sure, but it's too easy to call a bluff on a specific date. Unlike gold you don't incur huge storage and transport costs to take 'physical' delivery.
Of course stupid things like cash settled futures may be out there too. Still seems there'd be an arbitrage opportunity to ripe the face off of anyone playing stupid games.
🙏
All the coins locked up in exchanges, custodians and loan providers are fair game. They have mastered the ponzi since the FTX days
I think you bring up completely valid points. My concern is that when you listen to things at such a high speed, it comes at a price. You hear the info but can't process it unless you're really focusing. But your brain stores it in your subconscious when you're not really focusing. Think of subliminal advertising and how effective it is. The info still goes in to your mind and that does take a toll on your cognitive resources. So if it's low signal, is it worth it to drain your energy for the day? Around what time do you usually feel tired or lazy? Maybe skipping those low signal podcasts for the day will allow you to have more energy throughout your day.
