Rog. Mega-boomer. Still got it.
Wow! I always had a bad feeling about Jack Dorsey.
I was right again!
Listen to Ungovernable Misfits @UGMFPodcast on fountain app from about 1hr 5mins in.
"What did you do during the Great Bitcoin Crash, grandad?"
"Well, little one, I bought a large grass-fed aged sirloin steak from my local butcher.
Also some Old English sausages.
Also two old fashioned breast/wing free range chicken pieces.
Also a traditional black pudding full circle.
Then went to my local ultra-specialist coffee shop and met friends.
Among other things."
"Bitcoiners got lucky"
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. [Seneca]
Mostly superb. A breath of fresh air when saying what the cowardly Tories should always have said.
Two areas of concern: he kept on talking too much over the interviewer's questions, and he kept on persistently misunderstanding the questions about bitcoin, conflating it with crypto.
So he sometimes sounded to me like an old boomer, even though I'm much older.

Where can I buy a budget minicomputer using sats?
Sounds great. But I've downloaded Cake wallet and I can't see how to get going on it.
Support guide gives 404 Not found.
How to get started?

Good evening, no stir.
Eye-opening podcast. I'm not familiar with his work so this was inspirational. Not sure why he's described as weird or annoying, I didn't detect that.

Your podcast is great but it uses up about 5 hours of my time.
I record it and edit out all the swearing, especially the c word. My editing skills are poor.
Then I'm not embarrassed to listen to it with my 15 year-old granddaughter.
The final version runs for about 10 minutes!

Love Giovanni's work and his commitment to unbiased scientific method.
Having said that, in his presentations he dives into so many associated points that I'm sure the average listener will end up bewitched, bothered and bewildered by so much information.
Nevertheless, if you're prepared to concentrate, this is brilliant stuff. Audio only on fountain, so you don't get to see the charts he refers to.
Kudos to Stephan for keeping it on track with a light touch!

Never rely on irony on social media.
I once suggested that the 'halvening' should have been called a 'threequartersvening' to be more catchy and to extend the period of new issuance.
Some people took me seriously and got quite angry 😂
I've been interested in Gio's power law work since I discovered it about a year ago.
He's been attacked by many who should know better, but who won't retain the open mindedness they once had for bitcoin itself. The attacks are always ad hominem and never scientific.
Good to see Stephan being a leading light in the open-minded discussions.

Brilliant antidote to the 'Bitcoin fixed this' bs which many of us have fallen prey to.
I heard about his work a couple of years ago, but then forgot about it.
Very clear challenges to the prevailing groupthink. Many uncomfortable truths.

The show I supported most on fountain was
@Ungovernable Misfits
Not massive yet, but I'm definitely using @Fountain more and more.
'Zap the Devs' box comes up, but it won't let me zap the Devs! Even though my wallet is all in order.
When Giovanni is NOT in the in-crowd, but BritishHodl IS.
Something's gone horribly wrong.
Bitcoin doesn't need cheerleaders. Especially not the current crop of experts with fake 'omega candle' narratives.
Nothing against Saylor, but the party pics are cringe to me.
Don't know why, but I love these Ungernovernabubble podcasts. Even though I'm 50 years over the target audience age.
