Sunday Brunch Ep 8 is live ☕️🎶⚡️ I was joined by @ivy lumi for a music-first, no-script hang where the house rule stays sacred: 90% of sats streamed during songs goes straight to the artist. We talk: • her journey into songwriting and releasing music as Ivy Lumi • a “melody-first” creative process and capturing ideas fast before full production • why “Love is the cure” is the thesis, even for Bitcoiners still carrying fiat trauma • and we spin a playlist that includes Ivy’s tracks (“Wow Wow Wow,” “SideQuest,” “The Cure”) plus a couple gems she’s excited about from the wider V4V/Nostr orbit

New Plebchain Radio is live 🦅⚡️ This one’s with @RedTailHawk , and it’s a deep ride through the outer ledger and the inner one. We cover: – why Bitcoin can’t fix the operator (and what it means to “audit the inner ledger”) – a 2008-era origin story: austerity, homelessness, rebuilding, and the rabbit hole into sound money – “golden rule orange-pilling”: qualify the lead, learn their worldview, tailor the frame – canon vs code, authority vs truth, and skepticism toward fiat-like belief structures – kundalini/perennial philosophy threads, “Language of the Birds,” and a Bentov/Schumann/theta-state detour If you like your Bitcoin conversations with equal parts grit, empathy, and metaphysics, press play.

New Plebchain Radio episode is live 🍷⚡️🧵 @Ben Justman🍷 returns for a real-world conversation at the edge of the parallel economy: what happens when you try to do Bitcoin-native commerce in a world of licenses, shipping rules, and regulated goods. We get into: • the “compromised substrate” problem: don’t let human drama smear the protocol • the Denim Road dream vs the reality of alcohol law (and why some rails stay fiat for now) • Nostr commerce friction: discovery, demand, and payment UX • an early-adopter tuition moment (lost sats, learned lessons) • artisan pricing in a bear market: integrity, signaling, and removing shipping pain If you care about building trade routes that can survive reality (not just tweets), this one’s worth your time.

Sunday Brunch, Essex edition is live ☕️🎸⚡️ Guest host @Aaron of Essex takes the wheel and hangs with @npub19ppw...p04j for a proper music-first Brunch: six Longy tracks spun and dissected at length, including two brand new ones. They talk: • why live performance is the ultimate truth serum (the stage audits you) • local scene storytelling (shoutout “Hamlet Court Blues” and Essex lore) • the legacy music pipeline vs Value-for-Value (direct, fast, human) • Spotify gatekeeping + the ugly incentives around streaming numbers • a real-world V4V gig experiment at The Fickle Pickle: in-room show + livestream + recorded release + Bitcoin onboarding

GM Over the course of two 15 hr flights back and forth in the last week, I’ve watched 7 out of 8 Mission Impossible movies. No idea why. (The 8th isn’t available)

Dropping at brunch time this Sunday, Feb 22: Sunday Brunch with guest host @Aaron of Essex and his guest, @npub19ppw...p04j 👀 No live stream this week – the episode will be available on your favorite podcasting 2.0 app and features Longy's two newest songs - Hamlet Court Road, and You Say You're a Warrior. He shares his thoughts on both of those songs as well as a few others

Say WoT? – Ep. 3 is live 🔧🕸️🤝 Guest host @david sits down with Matthias DeBernardini for a deep technical convo on Web-of-Trust and the real question underneath it: how do we build decentralized recommendation and discovery without recreating Big Tech incentives? They get into: • why “decentralized labeling” often recentralizes anyway • graph theory + “grapevine” WoT as a human-scaled curation layer • where local models actually make sense (narrow tasks, personal assistants, fine-tuning) • the signal-to-noise problem as an incentives problem • the escape hatch: user control, delegated trust, opt-out, better tools If you’re building on Nostr and care about ranking, moderation, discovery, or AI-assisted filtering … this one’s for you. https://fountain.fm/episode/5U4BZgEqUo66rK09gTQV

New Plebchain Radio is live 🥛⚡️🧵 Episode 151 is with Ryan Cooper from @npub1azut...aqwq , and it’s all about building the New Silk Roads without empire: local trade, real food, and community that actually moves goods. We talk: – getting “pandemic orange-pilled” on fragile supply chains – the “milk route” mentality: supporting farmers directly and rebuilding local markets – the Denim Road vision: trade corridors connecting meetups, producers, and households … and more If you want a parallel economy you can taste and touch, this one’s for you. https://fountain.fm/episode/5C3LD0wK73SjkA0qZYZ7

Sunday Brunch episode 6 is live ☕️⚡️🎶 Guest host @OpenMike was in the driver’s seat with @Tatum Turn Up for a laid-back hang that somehow covered: orange-pilling, creator life, V4V media, streaming wars, and gamer-brain chaos (Kaizo SMW romhacks included). They got into: – how Tatum went from Pomp’s “crypto academy” to filming with Pomp (internet destiny vibes) – the origin + momentum of Between Two ASICs – why Value-for-Value + live events feel like a better patron model than legacy platforms – Twitch incentives vs zap.stream creator loops – IRL Nostr magic, micro-Nostrica moments, and festival energy (WhatFest, etc.) Listen in! 🎧⚡️ https://fountain.fm/episode/ppggTmIRf1mvuCaBIhut

GM, Especially to the ones who are able to channel their frustration with their current situation, whatever that might be, into constructive action. You are appreciated 🙏

New Plebchain Radio is live 🌱⚡️🕸️ Ep. 150 is a dirt-under-the-fingernails conversation with @AU9913 from the Meshtadel world: regenerative farming, circular Bitcoin economies, and building resilience from the base layer up. We get into: – why soil is the original protocol (and what “regeneration” actually looks like on the ground) – management-intensive rotational grazing with sheep, pigs, and cattle – closing loops: manure, biodiversity, low-input systems, and the return of the tiny allies (yes, dung beetles) – meetups as trade nodes: raw milk, honey, meats, soaps, salsa, 3D-printed goods, and sats changing hands – the big vision: regional “Silk Roads” connecting cities and communities into real commerce beyond the platforms https://fountain.fm/episode/CYhR3fy8AZam5yobuBc0

Some exciting news about Sunday Brunch 👀 . This Sunday, Feb 15, @OpenMike takes over the hosting reins and he will be chatting with @Tatum Turn Up, who will be brining his curated playlist with him.
