World leaders need to smoke weed, cook, and find harmony together.
Tyranny is gay.
Fun fact: Bitcoin is dipping because @ODELL cut his hair. 😉
No, it’s because he abandoned all caps 📉
No cap frfr
Saved to watch later 🔥
Good one. Let's win faster 💪🏻
Amazing watch, funny that I found @ODELL on Nostr first 😅
Looking forward to it.
A key piece I think that needs to get on peoples mind is “HOW” we decouple Bitcoin from fiat.
As long as we price it in fiat we are beholden to their games.
We need to use energy instead of fiat to price things (using Bitcoin) … I think it’s ultimately the only way to not be subject to central bank games.
DM me if you’re inclined to chat.
I have written a thesis on this and come up with a formula of HOW to do it.
Cheers!
Had to pause the episode to go buy a 15 pack of Founders Centennial IPa to join in on the fun. Cheers!
"Knots could be one of those alternatives if Luke was more open to making it not just a Luke project."
If @Luke Dashjr did that then it could contribute to centralization of Bitcoin development.
It's good that knots is "just a Luke project" because we need more than two popular implementations, and I think Luke is setting an example that more devs need to express their opinions in open source code.
It was never just a Luke project and I was never closed to more involvement. This quote is just FUD, @ODELL
You are the sole maintainer. Now, being maintainer doesn't mean you have full control because the code is open source. All the other knots devs could leave or fork off. Is that why you're saying it was never "just a Luke project?"
No, the Core maintainers also function as maintainers in Knots too. Saying I'm the sole maintainer because I roll the releases is like saying Gloria is the sole maintainer of Core 29.x.

Sigh.
People do not understand open source software
This episode made me delete Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram off my phone! Thanks @Danny Knowles and @ODELL
That deserves a follow🤙🏼 And now I need to listen to this episode too!
core references PRs for most changes which each include review by muliple people.
knots is just your commit comments. no PRs, no context, no review by others.


Last episode these two did was what drove me to Nostr in the first place - expecting another banger!
Love that you posted it here!
Also, commenting on “how many people have 10M sats” self custody. Ignoring hodlers outside USA, Yahoo finance estimates 22% of Americans have more than $5k in savings. If we think 10% of them hold 100% of their savings in BTC, it’s 7.6M people. This estimate seems high.
Great episode Danny!
Decentralized and distributed data technology is da way. Why ? No head to be cut off. Torrent/Linux/P.O.W blockchain/Bitcoin/NOSTR
Best pod ever!
Its a lot better for you. I need to de Google as YouTube is the one last thing I know is a net negative. But I know its going to take significantly more effort.
And you keep them in your pc?
Same.
That is an interesting concept, I will think on that for awhile
Yes. For the moment, but the plan is to delete that too. Small sustainable forward steps.
I am degoogled, no gmail and use brave browser and search. YouTube is a difficult beast to control. But at least when you use YouTube on Brave there are not adds all the time.
I've been able to scale back YouTube by installing newpipe on Graphene OS via Fdroid then adding all my channel subscriptions.
great listen
it purple-pilled me a lot more than i already was

Thank you.
yea i think most overestimate the total amount of bitcoiners
As long as its decentralized, Bitcoin can not loose. Focus on decentralization is focus on winning in long term.
Deleting his Twitter account was an asymmetric bet. Ten 31 was obviously cool with it as Nostr seemed much healthier at the time.
we did some zap tests on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at tomdulz@cryptogetsreal.com, over a period of 22 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --
... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

Curious about the obsession with Kagi. Maybe just make RSS profitable. Oh wait, you can’t.
Ten31 wants your money. Google wants your data. It’s really just a matter of currency. Not exactly leading a revolution there, sir.
Great episode - this was brilliant
