This week was a wild one. I interviewed @satoboatproject from the deck of his boat off a small island in the Mediterranean. You’ll hear wind, watch his catamaran get to the brink of capsizing, and some neighbors asking to get in on the recording. This was an encapsulation of the wild life out on the frontier of the first turning. s/o @Bugle.News #40HPW🎧 . I hope you enjoy the conversation and check out what Captain Remington is doing as well.

Way too late of a post, but this week I sat down with @Tim and @Sippy Cup of @Illinois Bitcoin Council to talk about all the work they are doing in Illinois and a recap of the event they hosted at @Chicago Bitcoin Collective . If you are looking for a way to get involved in this space, in your state, but aren’t technical, talk to these guys and they will help you get started. Enjoy the discussion.

This week I got to sit down with fellow @Chicago Bitcoin Collective member @Staci and had a wonderful chat about reframing talking about #bitcoin as serving others instead of trying to glorify yourself by showing off how much you know amongst many other topics. That one really stood out to me and is probably something I would have never thought about without this convo. Thanks Staci.

One of my (@plebiANON) oldest interactions on Nostr is @Nunya Bidness , and this week I got to interview him. We talked a lot about agriculture, architecture, culture, and anything else ending in “ture”. 80 minutes was nowhere near long enough. I think you will agree. https://fountain.fm/episode/zSVBCj77hAvTGDluLuCy

This week I had our first returning guest @Eric FJ 🪬⚡️ come on and talk about the updates for @Conduit.Market and we even did a live demo of it. Unfortunately, you will have to find the episode on YT to see it. I also started doing V4V acknowledgements on the show. Hand up, I (@plebiANON) took way too long to acknowledge those supporting the show with sats. That will not be the case going forward. I did a long intro and read off many notes to start the show. Thanks to all our supporters, and I hope you like this one.

Can’t say enough good things about all the #bitcoin merchants out there. Thank you guys for starting the foundation. We build from here.

After talking with @Zack from @IndeeHub last week, I thought it would be cool to follow it up with @paul keating and @DirectorHodl who have their movie, “Hummingbird”, on the platform. I loved the movie, and learned a ton about Costa Rica, mythology, and the circular economy down there. We talked about so much stuff in this episode. You can check out the topics in the show notes. Thanks to both of you for coming on, and I loved the conversation. It felt like we were in the same room even though we were in 3 different countries.

This week I chatted with @Zack from @IndeeHub about the IndeeHub platform, re-thinking market signals in movie ratings, streaming payments for digital content, and so much more. Big thanks to @Avi Burra for the intro to Zack, and everyone should watch some films while streaming sats to watch. It is mind blowing.

I loved this chat with @Bitcoin Beans about what he’s building, the decentralized marketplace, and all things cacao. I had no idea how intricate cacao actually was. I got quite an education and it made my cacao consumption that much better knowing all the work that went into it. Also come hear Steve’s life journey into what he’s doing now. An absolutely crazy path from where he started.

Big thanks to @Daniel Prince for coming on The Becoming Sovereign Podcast and talking with @plebiANON for just under two hours about home schooling, world travel, the canard that is the DATs needing to serve anybody, and a discussion of how both of us will be handling BIP-110 on our own nodes. I always love talking to Daniel as well as listening to The Once Bitten Podcast as well.

This week @plebiANON interviews @Adam O’Brien from @Bitcoin Well . They get into a long discussion about the Bible and the lacking spiritual nature of modern Christianity along with the rest of society today. They also touch on raising a family and how the world psyops you into thinking kids are expensive. These are just a couple of the many topics explored. Big thanks to Adam for taking the time to come on The Becoming Sovereign Podcast.

This week was a conversation with @Seth from @Zap Cooking about what he has built and his inspiration for it. Ironically, this was recorded while I was smoking beef ribs and a pork shoulder. Due to the BBQ conditions, I did not have my normal appearance and was hiding behind my @Snorkel hat and IU hoodie. Big thanks to Seth for his time on a Saturday no less. https://fountain.fm/episode/h6TgiKgWSgjv6wrJcQyF

A little late this week because of the holiday and general pathetic display of posting by me, but I talked with Keith from @Branta about verifying addresses to protect against man in the middle and other malicious attacks. This was by far the most technical we have gotten on an episode, and I absolutely loved it. Great and unique product these guys have built. Thanks Keith. https://fountain.fm/episode/MrasKMQBqQJdJNNaG0Gi

This week, @Brian Hirschfield and I got deep into poker, Ruth from the Bible, God’s guidance, math, and a bunch of other esoteric stuff. As a former semi-professional poker player, this one dredged up a lot of memories and passion from my past. Pretty sure you’re not finding this range of topics and discussion anywhere else. Enjoy.

This podcast recording was near and dear to my heart. As a member of @Chicago Bitcoin Collective and excited patron for @Fork and Coin , I sat down and interviewed founding member and head chef @Foise about what to expect out of the Chicago Bitcoin community in the coming months and years.
