I arrived home to tornadoes of mosquitoes at sunset last night. Multiple groups of these things in these swirling group tornadoes of bugs. Maybe a bunch of them just hatched? This is gonna be a nightmare 😂

Fresh episode! JPOW just said screw the workers: Hot inflation, higher tariffs, weaker workers. The Fed knows wages won’t rise, so it cuts to save the government’s debt. The squeeze is on, and I break it all down for Bitcoiners.

While on an early morning walk around the farm, I think I discovered otters in our creek. I’m just kind of guessing, but it looked like a small group of three hanging out and getting some breakfast. Now I wanna know everything about them instead of cameras 🤣

GM from the farm ⛅️ LINUX Unplugged day. Heading to the studio, we’re live in about 3 hours. Up first: we are talking about this two week long Arch Linux DDoS.

I have contacted MARA Press to determine if they are aware of a potentially disturbing story that appears to be unfolding. A MARA staffer has been launching DDoS attacks against Knots nodes. Forcing them to re-download the chain, over and over. I'll have (if any) their response in This Week in Bitcoin.

And so it begins! Starting the very early work to get a septic system installed. Job one is just clearing the area for the inspector. I’ve never done anything like this so this should be quite the journey .

Fresh episode for you! 🍻 I cover a couple of really big stories, I don’t see anybody else talking about yet. And I get feedback about why people have bounced off Nostr after trying it.

Hey Nostr - What's your take on this: I have been toying with the idea of creating an npub for This Week in Bitcoin. And then posting show releases and news there, but also maybe making it easier to tag for feedback/show ideas? Or is it simpler just to keep it to my personal account, IE, only one account to follow?

A new TWiB is out. I roll out my 10 step bitcoin rip cycle theory and point out the awkward reality behind Bitcoins recent ATH. There’s more than a few things I’d love to hear your feedback about in this episode!

Bitcoiners may feel rugged, but zoom out: the U.S. sees stablecoins as a route to dollar dominance, making everything else in crypto secondary. Bitcoin doesn't need them; the stablecoin industrial complex does. Bitcoin doesn't need anything from these people. But the stablecoin industrial complex (every major bank wants in) needs them badly. So, incentives were always going to align. I don't think this means the Bitcoin Reserve idea is dead, but it does mean it's taking a back seat to what they think is the "bigger picture."

Are you enjoying the cheap seats? I think people have the wrong perspective on the recent dip. Considering a global trade war is heating up, the Memecoin bubble is collapsing, stagflation is setting in, and AI money is slowing down, Bitcoin is doing great. But the bumpy ride is far from over, and I explain why in today's This Week in Bitcoin: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/48 Grab it in your app of choice: https://episodes.fm/1733733790/episode/NjgzOTQwNTItODc4My00OWQxLTlmYzEtMmI1MmQ0NTAzNmRi
