I found this podcast on fountain and I've shared the youtube link in case you want to see the video vs audio on fountain 

https://youtu.be/Zb1KZ7uglfk?si=gH-VEbl5saspbaJX

I've seen or heard Simon pop up on twitter spaces over the years, he's an educated guy who speaks with confidence and commands a vocabulary of a British nobleman. 

I played this pod today while I was in a coffee shop and could lose myself for an hour or two.

I enjoyed listening to his Bitcoin origin story, he then dived straight into rabbit holes of early banking systems.

And then the rabbit holes got progressively deeper, suffice to say that I was thinking, how has youtube not pulled this video yet!!

I'm sure some of you are well aware of Simon and you may have your opinions on him already decided. 

I find him very entertaining to listen to and if 10% of what he says is true, that makes for an extremely scary prospect as a human in this digital world. 

If 100% of what he says is true, I can sympathy with the masses being totally ignorant to the world they are living in, it would be far easier not to know the truth.

Thoughts on Simon Dixon

The latest Charlie Kirk conspiracy theory from the Qtards is, the film snake eyes with nic cage is connected, because the character assassinated is called charles Kirkland, the assassin is called Tyler and something else I forget now.

The thing is with conspiracies, they have to make them fit, it's like if you read the bible you can make reference to any well known event, towers falling, great plagues etc.

Do you buy it? Load of waffle imo

The Long Walk (2025) - Car's take

I overhead someone yesterday and they'd just seen this and explained it in about 30 seconds with the ending spoiler included.

So I was like, won't be watching that then.

"What if I told you insane was working a 50-hour week for 50 years, at the end of which they tell you to piss off. Ending up in some retirement village, hoping to die rather than suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time. Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?"

Said by Steve Buscemi to Nicolas Cage's character? Cameron Poe right?

Well, on legacy social media, I'm seeing a ton of people saying variations of this, young kids understandably born in the information age, and adults fed up with the Sunday night dread and day after day of mindless, pointless meetings. 

Is the world waking up to the fact that 99% of the people pay to keep 1% of the elites in their place.

Or is AI sprinting ahead of that argument by making the 99% irrelevant anyway!




I heard this quote on 'Con-Air' the movie

bitcoin

I was watching the Tom Bilyeu pod with Emad Mostaque, and he's an AI og apparently, so he's shilling his fork of Bitcoin called Foundation coin. 

He's saying Bitcoin is 90% energy 10% capex and AI is 90% capex 10% energy

So I noticed that he's posted about this on X and Preston Pysh has rebutted his claims, specifically Foundation coin is angling towards a narrative of helping people with serious diseases, where Preston addressed the concerns of centralised authority and centralised nodes.

Have you seen the latest Bitcoin fork... Foundation coin

I've been thinking alot about the plummeting birth rate and how its affecting our society. 

You know, the amount of women over 40 who are childless and married is pretty shocking. And it got me wondering, is this all just a coincidence or is there somthing more sinister going on?

I mean, think about it. In 20 years time, most jobs will be done by AI and robots. They'll be able to do all the mundane tasks that humans do now, but faster and more efficently. So whats going to happen to all the people who are no longer needed to do these jobs? Are they just going to be left to rot or will they be given some kind of universal basic income to survive?

It's a pretty scary thought, to be honest. And it makes me wonder if the elites, you know, the people in power, are actually behind this trend. Maybe they want a smaller population so they can control us more easilly. I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but hear me out.

If there's less people, there's less competition for jobs, less strain on resources, and less chance of social unrest. It's like, the perfect storm for the elites to maintain their power and control. And the childless generation of 40 plus women, who are often pretty well off and educated, are just playing into their hands.

I dont know, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but it's definately somthing to think about. The implications are huge, and it's not just about the birth rate. It's about the kind of world we want to live in, and who gets to decide what that world looks like.

I'm not saying I have all the answers, but I do think we need to start asking some questions. Like, what's really going on here? Is this all just a natural consequence of social and economic changes, or is there something more going on? And what does it mean for our future, and the kind of world we want to create?

I'm sure I stumbled across this site from Darth's recommendation. Apologies If not.

I'm assuming it's a bit like Newpipe to YouTube.

As far as I can tell, you can watch a movie rent free?

Any known malware issues anyone knows about? I can't see how they make revenue but then I can't see Newpipe's angle, so, what gives?

Any ideas stackers?

NPM hack articles were mentioned multiple times on SN over the last year, I'm not a dev, I didn't pick up on this.

(Blockstream and Zeus were included in the affected wallets list but both have stated they don't use NPM and their wallets are unaffected.)

I found this channel by accident and after watching a couple of his videos, I found this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOO-uNXD2oM

Paraphrasing from his transcript, to give you a taster and maybe the part that I found pertinent. 

(And remember this guy isn't a Bitcoiner but these normies are waking up to the fiat scam.) 

Most economic textbooks avoid this like root canal, most of the money in our economy isn't gotten from some treasure chest, it's literally conjured into existence by banks the moment they press approved on a loan.

He then sets the example we all well know about banks when they approve a loan, they don't give you bundles of cash, they create the debt, which you have to pay back over 30 years exchanging your time and energy.

It actually reinforced my belief in Bitcoin, when you could explain to this guy about the timechain and how Bitcoin isn't conjured out of thin air, there is a verifiable explanation as to how it has come into existence. 

The truth about money and work

Portion size is the reason they are fatties

I have come to the conclusion that portion size is the reason for people being fat.

Sounds simple right? But also add into the mix that food is literally heroin on a spoon, well not that spoon!

I've been wanting to trim down a few pounds and I don't want to go down the road of dieting because as we all know, as soon as you stop the diet...well you know the rest.

So I want to continue eating all the same shit I eat now but I'll just have to eat less of it, calories in calories out right?

But then the waters are muddied even further by all the information we are bombarded with concerning food, the marketing of food companies is insane, the marketing of dieting and now we have the unlimited amounts of content about fasting and eating once a day or whatever connotation you hear.

But cut away all the fat, pun intended, it literally comes down to how much you are loading into your face everyday.

If you work out or calculate how many calories you need to satisfy your current weight, and then actually count your calories for one day, I think you'd be surprised at the amount your piling in. (that's if you're overweight of course, some of you are happy with yourselves weight wise)

It's extremely easy to just say portion size, when paradoxically within that, there is the emotional attachment to food, where we comfort eat, there is the cultural norm to eat 3 or more times a day and we eat out of boredom and habit.

So there is discipline needed but ultimately it just comes down to what's on your plate.

Does Bitcoin have a constitution?

Scoresby

If you compare Bitcoin with this reality we find ourselves in.

We have the planet, and we have had so many Core vs Knots debates over the eons, that we have countries, languages, religions, cultures, industries, foods, drinks and a myriad of other stuff.

What I'm saying is that, if you provide the ability for us to disagree, argue and fight, we absolutely will.

So the future of Bitcoin is constant tests set by ourselves, perhaps as an inbuilt calibration, so that we are continually stress testing the network.

Gym attire: do you wear underwear or only overwear?

k00b

I wouldn't normally wear underwear when gyming normal, but if you're yogaing with potentiality of female proximity, it would be wise to make sure the eggs don't hatch mid downward dog, so I'd wear boxers under shorts, and the snug type I mean, not the loose
