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 @Longy 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

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.

New Plebchain Radio is live 🥛⚡️🧵 Episode 151 is with Ryan Cooper from @Bitcoin Ranch , 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.

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! 🎧⚡️
