Bitcoin is like putting your kids to bed — just when you think you’ve finally got it, they hit their highs and lows all over again.

My first steak and egg breakfast … not bad for the first try


Doing a little catch up with the latest episodes. Your show is amazing and inspiring, it’s never condescending or simply (!) hyping - keep up the great work!
I’m lately thinking about, whether we should get rid of the “buy” button and simply call it “exchange into Bitcoin”. I think the unit bias is the most hindering thing for potential new participants in the network. Especially after guys like Jack Mallers “promote “ Bitcoin with “the exit keeps getting more expensive” (like in your last show). In the end it’s not about how much Bitcoin you buy, but about how much fiat you exchange for a hard money.
Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
The next boost will come from my Alby hub!
Think on nostr, listen on fountain and live on Bitcoin!

Dear @Jeff Booth ,
I have a question regarding your abundant bread analogy.
In your example the buyer takes all the leftover bread, but I guess he only wants to buy it on a discount. Let’s say I buy all the leftovers for half the price.
Like the miners buy the leftover electricity for less than the market price.
But wouldn’t the baker outprice himself in the moment he sells more leftover bread for half the price than the normal price?
Or the quality of the bread would suffer because he has to cut production cost somewhere to be profitable with the new (half)price.
I hope you can tell me what I’m missing here…
I always enjoy all your podcasts, interviews and talks that I can find. You’re the voice of hope that we need.
Thank you
Kind regards
Thomas
