Is there way for a pleb to listen online to the ham radio chatter coming out of North Carolina?
This entire thing smells like an attack on Trump by using hype around Bitcoin and Satoshi to draw attention to it and make a connection to someone politically toxic. A pathetic October surprise. image Cullen Hoback is making it. He is known for his series "Q: Into the Storm," which "exposes the QAnon conspiracy theory." That is already a red flag. But the tease for the "documentary" is also revealing: ➑️ "If its findings are widely accepted, the disclosure could send shockwaves through world financial markets and even the U.S. presidential election, given the way Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump has cultivated the support of Bitcoin enthusiasts." The Bitcoin community should prepare for the anti-Trump crowd to put this "documentary" on blast after it comes out.
The wife and I have been camping in the woods for a few days. Nothing is quite as recharging as the peace and quiet out here. Turns out there is something to this whole touch grass thing!
Imho we have let the crypto skeptics get inside our heads. I think as a community we should lean into the fact that boost are powered by bitcoin. As a small business, I’m grateful to have support in a hard asset. It’s helped me fight inflation and keep my head above water. Bitcoin is an intelligence test, and I don’t need everyone in the world listening. I want a great audience, not the biggest audience possible. These are things we should lean into as a podcasting community trying to offer an alternative to mainstream crap. Go Podcasting! View quoted note β†’
This is only the third time in recent history that the Fed has started rate cuts with a 50 bps cut. The previous two times, the economy crashed. I'm leaning towards a dip at best and acknowledging a recession at worst. I don't know about you - but I always plan for maximum pain and hope for the best. So even with all the rate cut hype, it's wise to brace for the worst - at least short-term. It will all come down to the jobs reports, but it may not be what you expect. I try and make my case in This Week in Bitcoin: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/rate-cuts-like-your-job-depends-on-it
πŸ‘‹ GM and happy rate cut day everyone! So I'm curious what Nostr thinks will happen next? Pump and crash? Nothin but pump? Something else? image
This Week in Bitcoin is out after being off last week. 🫑 Macro is still driving things this week, and I discuss what's happening there. I'd like some feedback on the breakdown of how Bitcoin gets associated with scams and gets a bad rap with Boomers. Multiple attacks on Bitcoin's credibility were designed to scare Boomers away from Bitcoin. I get a little fired up. I would like to hear what you think if you get a chance: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/25
Killer value to the community this week in taking time to talk patiently with Rob at Libsyn. Good work! Really been enjoying the board meetings recently. Happy belated birthday Podfather 🍻 View quoted note β†’
GM β˜• I'm prepping for an end-of-summer Linux news round-up episode today of LINUX Unplugged. This summer, in particular, it feels like not much has happened in the last couple of months, and then this week, everyone is back to work. News is dropping like crazy, and we have a packed show. I dream of a future where LUP takes the summer off. Embrace the lull! Then come back roaring 😺 I'm opening the stream with the arrest of the Telegram CEO. We have to speak up; Telegram is just the beginningβ€”a trial balloon.
