Love the new boost mechanics.

So, just to be clear, if I haven't already subscribed, then take no action? 😃

Just my 2sats. Big fan of the show as it is! Always have been.

I like the green screen on SNL, i've always thought that would add some aesthetic value. Kudos.

Is it possible not to cut off @Car's arm?

And I learned that guests are offered beer on arrival.

Nice episode guys!

Edit: as a side thought -- not sue where you are with the catch-phrase, but last one i heard it was, "24/7 bitcoin meetup on a website."

Maybe 24/7 Bitcoin Meet-Up is more memorable and catchy and on a website, is not needed.

Agree (for the most part).

The part that doesn't agree is probably that same mental mode whence my tireless attempts to articulate my motivations often spring. Then i wonder if it is worth it to do so, and i ususlly conclude it is, especially in writing.

Then i oscillate back into self-doubting.

Lost earring of gold
Somewhere hidden, hole unfilled
I'm no alchemist

Two days left to participate in a year in haikus

Agree. Very powerfully written.

Also, i found there to be echoes of the covid era, the self-censorship that doctors, medical authorities elicited, the quarantining, gaslighting etc.. Amazing how the wheel of time turns, and humans repeat the same injustices on one another, but just in different forms.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I know a Kyle as well, always intending... You are good to keep pressing him. The resolution is great, and even gets me thinking I should try and do the same. Thank you for motivating me.

And I like the installment -- there's something almost Virgilian about Anna, ethereal.

Maybe three days and
approximately twelve hours
will change everything

I just started reading this his annual letter last year. Great selection!

Frigid water cracked
Shattered clods of surf and ice
The year expires, sighs

About as good a definition fot the term as I've ever seen.

Great answer, i zapped extra for your eloquence

Most people aren't savers and those who are tend to be fairly comfortable with their current savings vehicles. Bitcoin will make inroads here, but I don't think it's the revolutionary thing.

I'd agree here. It seems real-estate is the choice store of value for most middle-class people with any real savings capacity. Those Gen Z with a more open-mind seem compelled by the prospect of choosing the 'right' crypto coins and hopefully reaping huge gains. Maybe these two factions eventually start to converge on bitcoin.

To this second point, do you think uncensorable payments in shadow-economies the only relevant solution bitcoin presents now?

Or does the store of value thesis hold up against the financial engineering of banks and treasury companies?

Many conscientious bitcoiners don't like revealing to people that they are bitcoiners, so the respect they've earned from others isn't moving the needle for bitcoin's respectability.

Hopefully this is true and there are many more respected people who are bitcoiners than those that are willing to be transparent about it.

Likeable, you are;
Respectable, you are not.
Whimper for moloch.

I find my hope in the attributes of God, and in particular his goodness and sovereignty. As A.W. Tozer once said, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."

"Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God."

Thank you for the wishes.
