HODLing Bitcoin can be a crazy ride, one day it can seem like the world is against you, and then other days it seems like everything is working out in favour of Bitcoin.
Don't make rash decisions. Do your best to be calm and long term focused.

@Rusty Russell of @Blockstream rejoins me on the show to talk about a new idea for a bitcoin soft fork that hopefully avoids some of the โhorse tradingโ dynamic that existed amongst other proposals. Listen in to learn more about the different paradigm that Rusty introduces here, so that developers can build more functionality and efficiency in, hopefully so that more people can use Bitcoin in self-custody.

@Dan Gould of PayJoin Dev Kit (sponsored by Spiral and Opensats) joins me to discuss how Bitcoin privacy could be improved with more PayJoin adoption.

Rapha Zagury, CIO of Swan and Head of Swan Mining rejoins me on the show to talk about a range of topics, from Brazilโs flooding, Bitcoin Mining, Capital Structure, as well as share some insights on speaking to TradFi professionals about Bitcoin.
@miljan from @primal joins me to talk about why Bitcoiners should not sleep on Nostr. We chat why heโs bullish on nostr, the experience nowadays, network effects for creators and devs, spam and sybils, and why openness is the killer feature.
Interesting dynamic here with some users wanting to delete their answers off of StackOverflow but the site is keeping them.
In some ways nostr is the opposite, no? As long as relays have your content, you can't delete it.
But muh EU "right to be forgotten". Which funnily enough always seemed like a statist imposition.
For better or worse, the internet is forever.
