Well, it's been a strange week, folks. This is Buster Cherry,
and I want to thank you for joining me today for another edition of the Bugle Weekly Headlines.
From the president throwing himself a military parade birthday party,
to the Jews bombing people again, this week was marked with violent upheaval.
Assassination markets struck Minnesota as two state politicians were murdered in their homes,
and all across the country there were mostly peaceful protests.
With that and more, we go to Smoking Hot Bugle News correspondent Kaylee Welch.
Thanks, Buster. It truly was a strange week.
Besides the protesting, bombing, and antics from the president,
this week was defined by paper Bitcoin companies, also known as PBCs.
Steven Lubka debuted a new broccoli haircut as he announced that he would be joining David Bailey's PBC called Nakamoto.
The company's business model is to do everything in their power in order to make Predator mad.
Maggie Morris had some criticism for Lubka, citing that she thought he was hotter when he was selling actual Bitcoin instead of paper Bitcoin.
I would definitely have to agree with that sentiment.
Justin Beckler is setting sail on what people are calling the filter flotilla.
He is sailing to Gaza to provide Palestinians with desperately needed knots nodes in order to filter Israel's offensive inscriptions they are spamming Iran with.
Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Saturday that he would be spamming Iranian Bitcoin wallets with offensive inscriptions of the Prophet Muhammad,
meaning that the whole Muslim world would have to host them on their Bitcoin nodes.
Beckler feels that any Muslim should have the right to filter out offensive spam
and that it is his responsibility to teach them how.
And finally, Santa has chosen to go with Pleditor's list this year
in determining who is naughty or nice.
He turned down the bid from Peter Thiel,
citing he found the amount of information presented as rather creepy.
Unfortunately, this likely means that everyone at the Bugle will be receiving coal this year
because Pleditor is a little bitch and doesn't respect credentialed journalism.
To wrap it up, I just want to say,
Happy Father's Day, and thank you to my dad.
Dad, you taught me how to drive drunk, put me through college,
and bought me my first pack of cigarettes.
Thanks for always being there and for listening to the podcast.
Well, it sounds like you have a great dad, Kaylee,
explains why you are so sharp.
As a man, there is no job more important in the world than being a father.
Happy Father's Day to all those strong men listening to 40 hours per week
so they can accurately understand the world and take care of their families.
This is Buster Cherry.
And this is Kaylee Welch.
I want to thank you for tuning in to another edition of the Bugle Weekly Headlines.
Thank you, Buster and Kaylee, for the opening.
Wonderful as usual.
It has been a strange week, folks.
It's been a strange week.
A lot has happened.
Well, we've been monitoring the situation very closely, but we'll get into that as we get into the episode.
Before we start monitoring the situation, I just want to wish everybody a happy Father's Day out there.
Being a father, most important job in the world.
You're running the node for the family.
You're listening to 40 hours of Bitcoin podcasts a week so that you know what's going on in the world,
that you can make the correct decisions.
You know what the trends are.
You know which wallets are the best, which influencers to be dunking on.
You're listening to 48 HPW for your family.
And Father's Day is the day to celebrate that, to celebrate the father who's doing a good job,
showing up for his family and if you're listening to this podcast that's probably you you're probably
a great dad uh so take a moment smoke a cigarette smoke a cigar pat yourself on the back what did uh
what did you do to celebrate your father for father's day did you do anything special i mean
uh you know you're you were a little too old to to to have to grow up remembering your father
running the node for the family um but you know what what what other things do you show your
appreciation well unfortunately actually my my father died he got hit by a bus a few years ago
uh before i was actually orange pilled so he never had the opportunity to run the node for
my family, but
you know, on Father's Day, I
really take time to appreciate him.
And one of the ways
that I do that is I try
to do things with my son
that he did with me. So I took my son
out, we were cleaning the typewriter,
oiling it down,
smoking cigarettes, spending
some good time listening to the radio
in the garage, and
you know, tossing the baseball
back and forth.
it was a it was really nice it was a nice time i mean you know for me i i see father's day
it's like a time of of remembrance of my dad and uh that bus driver that that ran him over
but more so my dad uh than the bus driver uh but i have to think about him unfortunately
would uh would your dad have been a core dad or a knots dad would your family been running knots
or core if he was around and you were and you were growing up that's a good question i mean
i don't know like my dad wasn't really ever a technology guy and i don't know what he would
have been he probably would have just said screw it i'm running like an old version of core whichever
first version he ever ran like he's he'd probably be the guy that was running core didn't pay
attention to anything that was going on never updated his node uh couldn't be bothered by
any of it just head down chugging away trying to take care of his family completely
impervious to the noise out there yeah that's uh you know that's a beauty of bitcoin you don't have
to update your node. People think that when core pushes a change to the operator limit that you
don't have to update it. But for this year, one of the things I got my father, a bid axe. And I also
helped him upgrade his node to bugle core. And so I think it's a good time to take an opportunity
to let our listeners know that there is a third option. Now, I don't usually think that a third
party so to speak is a very productive um you know way to express your opinions about consensus
but bitcoin is a is a true democracy where the node runners decide and in a true democracy like
this being able to run a third option so uh it does make a difference and if you go to you you
I don't know why we don't have the GitHub listed on our website.
We should probably get that up there.
We should probably put that in the show notes.
And I think that if you're interested in BugleCore, you should check that out.
And maybe we'll even get BTC Sessions to do a tutorial about how to run BugleCore.
And potentially, we could get it on Start9 and Umbrell.
But there's going to be some cool features coming along to BeagleCore.
And if you are like us, just keep monitoring the situation.
And more exciting announcements along that line will be sure to be coming down the pipe.
Totally.
One of the reasons why I haven't really pushed BeagleCore a whole lot is I haven't been very active at maintaining it since I published it.
So it's been a couple of weeks.
I have not, I'm probably behind Luke Jr.
as far as merging whatever, you know, updates or things
other than the controversial pull request.
So I need to get back on it.
If people show interest in it, if you're interested
running Bugle Core, I'll actually spend time.
Yeah, yeah.
But if you want to maintain, if you would like,
If you are a developer who knows C++ and you would like to help maintain BugleCore, reach out to us.
Unlike the other node implementations, BugleCore devs are not only allowed to have sex, we encourage it.
There's a lot of controversy about the Core devs, the Shandia.
People think they're clergy.
They think they're like the priests in the Vatican.
and that's not that's not how bugle core works you can have hell you can have gay sex you're it's all
allowed if you a bugle core deb so if you know if you had that anarchist you know screw society type attitude uh and you don like being told that you can have sex just because you have to code in c take a look at google core and reach out to us we will uh we would love
to have qualified devs who have very aligned with our uh values and vision
run helping us maintain that and building new features that other implementations may not even
have totally so yeah let's go back to father's day so you set your dad up with vehicle core
you got him running on a bid axe does that make him a pleb or is he a pioneer because the plebs
are running the bid axes well i can't remember who was in the group chat but they need a really
good point this weekend that not everybody goes from being a fiat normie to a pioneer some people
do go through the pled transition and my dad's one of those people he's he is right now he is a
he is a plaid he is a paper bitcoiner so he does write a note he does have some bitcoin but he is a
mstr paper bitcoin respecter he really likes it so we're it's it's it's a pragmatic uh
practical transition i'm trying to help him get to that pioneer stage but you know he's old you
know as he grew up he said he used to be when you grew up you had to believe you didn't have to
believe what the tv told you but a lot of boomers did and a lot of boomers they they kind of grew
wise to you know there's a lot of uh these to say don't believe everything the tv tells you well they
fell for that and they learned but now the boomers they believe everything the internet tells them
and so trying to help wean him off of the the facebook memes and the facebook ai slop that uh
he consumes uncritically is is it's it's not going to happen overnight but he has a pioneer spirit
so I think that we can get to it.
I think this is, what you're describing,
it's a new challenge.
I think a lot of people have been trying to convince their parents
to go from being no-coiners to at least owning something.
That seems like that's getting accomplished,
but now it's like people are trying to
orange-pill their parents to not be paper-bitcoiners.
Like that's, that's the new battle around the table around the holidays.
It's, it's, it's not trying to explain to them the history of money.
It's trying to explain to them the issues with being a paper Bitcoiner.
And I don't know, like, what, what do you think are compelling arguments for this?
Like, I think the boomers are looking at it.
They're like, the TV says paper Bitcoin is good.
uh michael saylor likes it and it seems like bitcoin's most viable scaling solution
like how do you how do you counter those arguments in in a way well boomers can hear it
my my dad was actually really receptive to uh with trying to cold storage and holding his keys
but my mom it was my mom's fault honestly and it's i don't blame her she doesn't really get it
she was just uh you know kind of just going off of what she knows but she kept talking about how
she my dad always loses his car keys he's always misplacing his car keys and she's always having
to help him look for it and she was just worried that he would lose his private keys uh i tried to
convince him that you know he can buy you can go to seed or stamp seed and get level plates to
stamp his seed on there i tried to you know there's all these different solutions i told him about
brain wallets paper wallets um and it's just he my dad's my dad's father had dementia he had
alzheimer's and my dad's just worried that uh he will he will he's prone to have getting alzheimer's
and he might lose his keys.
He might forget where he put them.
So I try to tell him about, you know,
there's solutions like Anchor Watch now
where you can get like insurance.
But, and I think that is probably a solution
for a lot of boomers
because boomers do love insurance.
So you can tell them that they can pay,
you know, pay for insurance.
No like that.
But hey, I think we need a hardware wallet
that looks like a dirty old raggedy leather wallet
that dads like to carry in their pockets that are just bursting at the seams with receipts
and cash and i think if you if you you get a wallet they can sit on that they can feel
on their back pocket i think i think there's just like something about that physical like
you know having that security that every time you sit down you know your wallet's there
you know you've got your you know you've got your money maybe that's the solution honestly
that seems like everybody's different that seems like a reasonable solution uh you know the boomer
generation has been plagued by back pain because they have these giant wallets in their back they
carry around a lot of cash they they keep all the business cards that are handed to them by people
even if they don't ever look at them or use them they've got a fat stack of business cards and cash
in their back wallet and they want to feel it in their back and so as you're as you're describing
that i i kind of see a made axe cold card type collaboration that would be interesting
another one is you know i know a lot of people this is my dad in particular as well
uh we get him gift cards for father's day gift cards for his birthday gift cards for christmas
whether it's to lowe's or home depot you know whatever wherever your wherever dads like to shop
right and he never spends them my dad gets all these gift cards he just never goes to
the stores the energy they just pile up in his um in his wallet they give him back pain it ends up
the all the money that he could have been spending at allen depot but on his gift cards he's having
to spend out of his bank account up for his chiropractor appointments um but maybe giving
our dad's uh you know bitcoin gift cards is a good way to give them to fold it uh you know
they just put it in their wallet and then they don't spend it they got their bitcoin saved what
do you mean by like a bit a bitcoin gift card like like a paper wallet or like uh an azteca
voucher or like we'll think about it like you could you know what were those uh the the uh
casatius coins there was it was like a bitcoin and it had you know the keys on there you could
just you could embed that in an nfc or something or you know just have like a scratch off on a gift
card uh so it would be cold storage it would be self-custody would not be paid for bitcoin
and you just get that for your dad if your dad's one of those guys he just doesn't ever spend his
gift cards and you know over the years i mean you could have you could have a fat stack of bitcoin
gift cards that he just keeps in his wallet and forgets about and when he passes away and you're
going through his stuff and getting ready for the estate sale you just pull those back out and that's
how you get your inheritance you get generational wealth in the back of that the very old leather
wallet this is a really interesting question of like how how do we teach the boomer generation
is there any hope of teaching the boomer generation how to be low time preference
i like the idea of a scratch off type deal where you know like every like boomers like to send
checks to their kids uh for like birthdays and holidays and stuff and which is funny because
you can just send bitcoin it's way easier but like they they want to mail checks they want
they feel like it's their patriotic duty to use the united states postal service and
so you can essentially do the same thing like i think this has been like a very common point of
tension between boomers and and their children the younger generations is all the boomers really want
is their children to use the united states postal service like a text or phone call or
an amazon package delivered like that doesn't suffice to them they want you to go buy a hallmark
card, write on it with a pencil or pen, and then mail it to them using the postal service.
Now, you could meet that need for them.
While, you know, another thing we know about the boomers is they like to gamble.
They like to gamble their children's future away.
They like to just gamble in general.
They like to gamble the social security checks away.
So you could put Bitcoin private keys on a scratch off and kind of gamify it and say this is valued somewhere between X and X amount of sats You can price it in dollars because it going to appreciate so you gotta you gotta price in sats and uh they stare at it and it it
create that itch for them and it might convince them that you can't do that with paper bitcoin
well maybe i my dad hates the post office my family is very anti post office um they my dad's
always bitching about they need to just like cancel it and like let ups let the private uh
market take over but you do make a good point otherwise that i could definitely empathize with
so i think this might be the way because you gotta like help people you gotta help some of
these boomers figure out you got the bitcoin that you save but you still need to spend bitcoin and
we need more people spending bitcoin we need emily and take away the gift card aspect of it with my
dad what do boomers love to do more than anything else they love to spend their money they don't
want to give their kids any money they don't want to leave any any assets to their children but they
love to spend money and the problem is with a lot of these boomers is that they they have a lot of
illiquid assets they've got a lot of uh stocks things in their 401ks real estate that uh you
know it's they could sell it but it's it's not as easy and if a if we started explaining to boomers
a the value uh how much bitcoin goes up in value over time but that it's so easy to spend
we could get casinos to accept bitcoin at the uh you know at the slot machine i mean we were just
invaders right like it was the boomers were there spending well like gambling away all their social
security we get them on bitcoin that's how we could fill up the blocks we could actually we
could we could fix the bitcoin security budget problem if we just got big boomers using bitcoin
because they love to spend money it's a good point yeah there's a lot of creative solutions i mean
like one of the things when you're interacting with the boomers that you have to realize is that
largely like there's exceptions to the rule but largely speaking the boomers are completely
retarded and you just have to treat them as such it doesn't mean you have to be mean about it
you don't have to call them retarded uh like shinobi does but you just have to to know that
they they think a little bit slower they don't know how to use technology in the same way they
they were the generation that oversaw the banning of smoking indoors and and you just have to
understand the context with them they're they're a little bit retarded i i do think it's interesting
that your your dad doesn't like the the post office because i i feel like that's the love
of the post office like man if you want you want to get boomers angry and protesting
in mass go threatening to take funding away from the postal service it's like yeah my is the opposite
is my my my wife's dad he he loves the post my wife's dad thinks that um he potless office workers
and retired bonus office workers that they should be they should get veterans benefits they should
be able to go to the va hospitals they should get 10 off big montana at arby's they should be able
to get free olive garden on a veterans day and there's a lot of people out there they think that
mailmen should get veterans benefits but the other thing you talked about was uh you know
it's it's kind of a stereotype or a trope that boomers are bad with technology people have to go
help their boomer grandparents and parents like open a pdf but it's a slap that's sometimes that's
a slight trait i think sometimes boomers pretend to be bad at technology so they can get attention
from their children and grandchildren like hey you gotta come over and fix my mouth oh it's working
when i get there oh your internet wasn't working for a week but the second i get there it's working
again i know what you're doing because a the boomers figure out facebook right away i mean
the boomers have taken over facebook they the boomers took over facebook and drove everybody
else out like they did when they took over the you know the the different neighborhoods and drove
the minorities out that that's what they do and you're not even boomers the people all the
the generation of boomers.
What is their favorite thing?
They love watching TV.
Those are like home shopping network channels.
And then they call in and they get doodads and trinkets on the TV that they buy.
Imagine if you,
you know,
they had to figure out,
they have to figure out cell phones to buy that stuff.
So imagine if you could put on the home shopping network,
a bid acts or some other Bitcoin,
Bitcoin t-shirts.
They,
they might want to buy Bitcoin toys,
Bitcoin t-shirts,
like,
like the plushy toys,
any kind of bitcoin memorabilia for their grandchildren their children for themselves
and they used to throw up a qr code a lightning qr code boomers can they love taking pictures
they love they love taking selfies looking down at the camera work with a grumpy face and it's
like really blurry they love doing that so if you just t all you have to do is teach them to press
that button that switches the camera to the front facing and then hold it up to the tv when they want
when they want to pay for some Bitcoin stuff on the home shopping network.
Boom.
Full blocks.
I like that idea.
I like that idea a lot.
I do think that boomers are retarded when it comes to technology and just in general.
And I don't think it's a trope.
So there's this common thing or trend that I'm seeing where a lot of Gen X and millennials are talking shit about the Zoomers,
saying that they're retarded because they believe everything AI says.
this is a trend i've been seeing and i think the boomers are the same way in the same they
essentially use their their kids and their grandchildren like the zoomers are using ai
when it comes to technology they they had children so they never had to learn how to
use the technology themselves and it crippled them it crippled their thinking skills uh when
it comes to using these types of products but it might be a good thing that boomers don't know how
to open pds because i know that could be a security vulnerability and a lot of you want to be careful
opening pdfs sometimes because you can embed malware in them but uh yeah happy father's day
everybody uh now yeah we're moving on i i can't believe we got 25 minutes in before
we mentioned basically the thing that has taken over the world it's taken over the timelines
taking over the news uh but israel uh declared war on iran um and they've been bombing the jews
have been bombing the shit out of the iranians uh since thursday and iranians have been you know
they've been doing some bombing themselves they haven't been quite as ruthless with it but any of
all of our listeners there's two things our listeners haven't like they want to do they
love to notice and they want to monitor the situation and right now noticers and situation
monitors are coming together because as usual these things kind of coalesce around jewish
activity and so everybody's kind of noticing and monitoring the situation how do you think this is
going to play out what do you do you think that this is going to be a protracted conflict do you
think that this is you know kind of a weird timing with the bombing to begin there was a lot of
internal conflict in the united states a lot of uh protests elon musk and donald trump had broken up
he was accusing Donald Trump of
being in the Epstein files
and now
there's war in the Middle East.
It's getting pretty scary out there.
Yeah, I've been monitoring.
There's a lot of situations to monitor right now.
So the Jews are bombing Iran.
You got
a bunch of people protesting
immigration stuff.
You've got
assassination markets
in in minnesota it's been it's been a wild week folks it's been a lot of violence a lot of
upheaval i think it'll kind of i i i don't see the trend changing i think the trend will
when lynn alden says nothing stops this train she's not just talking about monetary chaos but
the social chaos that follows it and you know when you got the jews distracted with bombing
and iran instead of making good movies of course people are going to be pissed off
of course they're going to be pissed off and they're going to be protesting
because they don't have anything better to do like all the shit on netflix sucks so we're going
to go in the streets and we going to get mad about something um but yeah as far as the conflict my predictions for it i uh i think initially i was feeling like it was going to be pretty prolonged but i don know the way the modern warfare is working is is very different
than it ever has before you've got i just don't think people want the same scale of uh of just
death and just like throwing people physically into the meat grinder they have a lower tolerance
for it though that that hasn't noticed necessarily been true in ukraine a lot of people dying in the
meat grinder over there but the ways that they're dying are different but you know what we're seeing
in this war which i think is interesting is is they're using very expensive things like these
missiles are very expensive they're a lot more expensive than uh you know training an 18 year
old kid and handing him an assault rifle and saying you know hey go run that way and die
um at the same time you know fiat is dying and bitcoin has already won and with bitcoin already
winning i think it's harder for these guys to fund the wars so i think it's going to be a lot
less yeah but protracted here's the thing we had a big we've had a big revolution
in the past few months um and there's nothing right now more popular than paper bitcoin
does paper bitcoin prevent war or does paper bitcoin facilitate it because if paper bitcoin
facilitates war we're in for a we're in for a big basic it's gonna be a big reckoning it's gonna be
a bad time the next few years because it's gonna be a lot of funding for war well there's even
the possibility that paper
Bitcoin starts wars
because interesting
if these guys get
super I'm excited to read Fundamentals
book you know Fundamentals has a lot of thoughts
on this on how
to properly paper Bitcoin
and
I don't think a lot of guys know how
to properly paper Bitcoin
and a lot of these guys that are going to
be you know you
look at JP Morgan you look at Black
crack those guys are paper bitcoining you think they listen to 40 hours of bitcoin podcast so we
can actually understand how this shit works uh probably not they they probably haven't you know
listened to more than two hours of lynn alden so they have no idea how the world works uh
so they they come up with all these sophisticated and crazy schemes thinking that they're walking
into the same exact thing that the fiat world is where you can just paper over everything and then
they're dealing with the hard asset get rug pulled cause an avalanche cause tremendous political
economic chaos it could start wars the shit could start wars it's like they're piling up
kindling to get lit on fire but yeah i mean depending on the rehypothecation strategies
I totally think it could be used to facilitate war.
Absolutely.
As well.
I think in the short term, they haven't figured it out quick enough, which is why I'm bullish on the conflict ending relatively soon.
Totally could be wrong on that.
But, you know, next time the Jews are bombing Iran or, you know, whatever, it could be a longer conflict as a result of them having a better paper Bitcoin strategy to be able to facilitate it all.
it'll be interesting i there is a lot of tragedy a lot of bloodshed that comes from war obviously
that's all war is but when democracies are at war at least it is you have the consent of the
soldiers the soldiers it's a democracy everybody has voted like all right we're willing to go to
this war we have volunteer armies but you start to have these mix and matches where it's like
democracies versus non-democracies and it's a lot of people start to get into these like debates
about who's right or wrong which side's right or wrong which side's good or bad this side's doing
this well this side's doing this but in war by the time you get to the point of war there is no more
arguments about who is right or wrong or who's morally justified in their actions anymore that
is gone you can't have that argument anymore it's it's pure violence so what i'm worried about
i'm not worried about paper bitcoin funding literal kinetic warfare so much as the warfare
and the conflict that is emerging because of paper bitcoin and people's arguments and
disagreements about what the bitcoin is and what its value is and it's starting to see on the
timeline you look at the streets of los angeles and you've got immigrants citizens people fighting
the cops um and you look on the timeline and it's it's the same it's the same sort of sentiments
building up i mean asanoa gold wants to beat up shinobi for calling in a retard
pleditor is probably going to snap and go postal at some point with all these new paper bitcoin
companies announcing left and right um and if that that makes me a little bit worried it's just
another thing to disagree about passionately and then get to the point of real physical conflict um
and what what makes me real a lot of people think in this left right um paradigm and they think that
the their right wing and that the right wing guys were tough and they're based and they've got the
weapons and guns so they'll win but i never you never see the right-wing based guys beat up the
cops and kick you know attack the cops like the liberals liberals love beating up cops and
i don't know i just i i'm worried that if the shit goes down i just don't think that uh i don't
think that the the people on the so-called right i i think we might be we might be cooked in some
sort of like civil war there's a civil war here the right might be cooked because they love it
you just put on a cop uniform and a conservative will like immediately defer late get down on his
knees and say officer i respect thin blue line and then it's like he just takes the person just
takes off their badge and they're like tricky bitch and they just shoot you and it's like
no matter how many times it happens conservatives will literally just bend over if a cop if somebody
in a cop's uniform tells them to so like if these libs they fucking start writing they take over the
la police department they steal all the uniforms they could just go run running roughshod through
orange tanning because the conservatives would just gotta respect the police yeah i think a lot
of conservatives you know for i don't know if it's fortunate i'm not going to make a judgment call
on what it is but i think a lot of the conservatives out there they a lot of them are veterans and they
have military experience and they understand that the enemy oftentimes tries to infiltrate and you
need to find creative ways like using code words in order to determine whether you're on the same
team or not even if they're wearing the same uniform the uniform is not always indicative
of you being on the same side so you know there's certain things certain types of words
that the conservatives could use that you know somebody on the left would never uh never
dare to say you know certain politically incorrect words uh you know maybe you could use like uh
a passphrase like you ask them how many genders there are and uh you know if the answer is two
you know they're actually a cop and if it's not you know they're probably an infiltrator
uh but yeah on the on the topic of war and in civil war um you know my stance on war is always
the same it's what i've learned you know from the years of covering these conflicts as a journalist
is that the civilians are always the victims at the end of the day whether it's a democracy or
a dictatorship you know there's oftentimes not good guys because the people that are waging the wars
you know like in this circumstance uh i would say donald trump's a major player in it i would say
benjamin non-anyahu's a major player and uh um the iranian uh leadership ayatollah
they're all non-compliant individuals that expect their citizens to comply and this is just
You know who ends up being the biggest, the people who end up facing the brunt of a conflict?
It's plebs.
Plebs.
If you live in a place that's got a high risk for conflict and war, and you want to ensure that...
you end up getting hit with a hypersonic missile
into the top of your house with the life of the pled.
Pioneers are on...
There's not much war on the frontier
because there's nothing to fight over on the frontier.
It's just the user experience isn't good enough for war.
But if you're a pled and you're static
and you trust the TV,
you will probably be around...
you'll probably end up getting sucked in to the war machine.
You don't want to be a pleb on the front lines.
There's no pioneers on the front lines of war.
There's no pioneers in the trenches of war.
Well, there's a lot of plebs.
Yeah.
I agree with that.
Yeah.
I think, you know, if you're a pioneer,
you should be looking for unique ways to avoid the war all entirely.
I mean, a big part of being a pioneer is just trying to insulate yourself
from what you see is coming because you're awake and aware and you're paying attention uh unlike a
lot of unlike a lot of the plebs uh but yeah it's as feelings never win in a war they never win in
a war it's why it's why i take a stance against war you know like most journalists they get excited
about war because it means they get to cover a topic that people are interested in and you know
people will tune into their TV news for the first time in forever and,
you know,
want to buy their newspapers to hear what's going on.
So that,
you know,
journalists get boners whenever a war pops off.
It's like,
it's like the bull market for them.
You know,
Jews start bombing Iran.
It's a bull market in the news cycle.
They're excited.
I don't feel that way.
I'd like,
I just like,
I did this.
Why I left the mainstream media environment because I just found that so
sick.
I found that so sick trying to capitalize on people's pain and suffering and, you know, essentially supporting the war machine.
It's just, it's, it's, um, it's an unfortunate reality.
I mean, I, yeah, I've been talking with Scardust this week, you know, what they're experiencing and it's just shitty, you know, shitty to see it firsthand or, well, I guess secondhand, but, you know, to hear the experience of what it's like to live somewhere where you're getting bombed.
uh and it's a it's a real possibility you know here in the united states a real possibility in
the bitcoin ecosystem you're kind of talking about these two factions forming between the
paper bitcoiners and the bitcoiners the american civil war was one of the darkest times in american
history where you had brothers fighting brothers you had cousins fighting cousins you had neighbors
fighting neighbors in a bloody war that really didn't lead to a whole lot of
productive outcomes other than the U.S. government getting bigger.
And, you know, you can argue about slavery, you know, whatever.
That's like the MPC, you know, argument, like government education type topic.
Yes, it's good that slavery ended.
It didn't necessarily, you know.
So I think the black people in America can testify that not everything is as a result of Abraham Lincoln.
But, you know, that's something that we want to avoid at all costs.
We want to avoid those types of scenarios where people are fighting each other to that degree.
and that's one thing I fear for the United States
as Bitcoin wins
we're going to have these different factions
you're going to have the Bitcoiners
and you're going to have the paper Bitcoiners
they're going to have different policies on
or different opinions on relay policy
you know all these other things
on how they want to utilize Bitcoin
you're going to have the plebs
you're going to have the pioneers
how do we avoid violent conflict
for breaking up
the i i hate to go back to the fourth turning because people are sick of hearing about it
but the last two fourth turnings were total total hot war the last one was world war ii
and the one before that was a civil war and we talked about you know you could you can debate
all day about what the real reason for the civil war was there was a lot of reasons slavery is the
one that people have chosen to remember and i think the next civil war is uh going to be about
is what we're facing the risk we are facing now and it's the same thing there's a lot of reasons
for it but one of the big ones is slavery and democrats don't want to lose their has their
latino slaves i mean this immigration problem is not is not just people coming to the united
states to look for a better life that's certainly some people doing that but there are court the
cartels are laundering money in the united states by rounding up the poorest people in the communities
of central america selling them to american corporations who put them to work in in factories
in really in in all the like most dangerous shitty jobs like children are probably being put to work
they they put you know 30 or 40 uh uh you know mexican plaids in a house and they they gotta
work 70 hours a week at the uh you know meat processing plant or in the fields of alabama
they're it's human traffic people think of human trafficking is like sex slaves and that's
certainly part of it but mostly human trafficking going on the united states is is american
corporations uh it basically getting virtually free labor uh endlessly endlessly they don't they
don't have to pay for upgrades to machines they don't have to hire people it's just free labor
but everybody who benefits from that labor that's why they're like looking the other way
so i think the way we avoid conflict is to you have to buy bitcoin so you can afford
not to have slaves.
You can afford to run a business.
You can have a Bitcoin treasury company.
You can have Bitcoin on your balance sheet
so you don't have to have slaves
to make sure that your quarterly earnings report
looks good and you can cook up the numbers
and cook the books and do your Enron accounting
to make it look like you made money
because of all the slaves that you had working for you
and your shop that you bought from the Mexican border.
And you need to have Bitcoin so that you can afford to buy the products of businesses and corporations that no longer have slaves.
You need to buy Bitcoin so you can afford to have children so they can clean your house and mow your lawn so you don't have to hire Mexicans to do that.
it's it's really coming down to you because that's this this civil war is going to be
a million reasons behind the civil war that's coming but they're going to blame they're going
to blame it on immigrants um and it's most of those are most of those immigrants are the victims
not they didn't even come they didn't want to come destroy the united states they were forced to
i mean that's that's a that's a broad generalization but that's uh there's all the more
you look into the more you notice the more you monitor the situation the more you start to realize
that the the u.s government is just the american cartel and it's working with the most powerful
you know state actors in mexico which is the mexican cartels the retron cartels yeah very
well said and and some people might be questioning what you're saying right now because they you know
the depictions in the 40 hours of bitcoin podcast per week yeah yeah no they gotta they gotta dig a little bit deeper I mean this is part of the reason why credential journalism is important because you know you got people digging deep on these things all the time but yeah the tv you know in the way it presenting
you know they're they're looking at all these uh people that are like living in los angeles the the
the slaves working on the liberal plantations cannot afford to live in los angeles at all
and they're not going to be depicted on the TV.
They're not the nice old man, you know, just working,
you know, hanging around Home Depot,
trying to, you know, get a job, working for somebody for cash.
These people are not seen.
They exist.
They don't have a voice.
And it's interesting.
You know, I wonder what the Libs' reasoning on this is
is because I think a lot of the conservatives
that want to deport a lot of these people,
their opinion on things is that
they can just buy robots to automate the process.
Why do the libs,
do they not want to pay the initial CapEx
for the investment in the robots?
They're trying to hodl Bitcoin
as kind of like a sell your chairs type moment.
The slaves are cheaper up front.
What's their logic here
of why they prefer slaves versus automating, you know,
all the picking and the plantations.
Because, you know, they ultimately would like it for them to vote.
And if they can get their slaves to vote for them,
they can maintain power.
This is what the South did.
The South wanted the slaves to be fully citizens.
Like, what's the Civil War result?
know or they we want we're gonna recognize these people we want them to be full citizens so we can
have more congressmen more senators and the the republicans were like wait wait wait uh three-fifths
compromise uh you're kind of like a paper voter you don't exactly count as a full as a full one
so the the simple matter is robots can't vote um the little bots little tesla bots putting together
your car the uh the self-driving waymos these robots they can't vote they don't get you more
congressmen they don't get you more sun they don't get you more democracy robots give you less
democracy talent here gives you less democracy um slaves give you more democracy and liberals love
democracy only if it goes their way that's a very interesting take i think that's probably a
reasonable take that's makes a lot of sense maybe one of the ways to counter that then is to give
uh you know and i think that to beat into the nuance a little bit more the illegals aren't going
and voting typically i'm sure in some circumstances they are but they're being counted on the on the
census which gives these liberal areas that uh bring a lot of these illegal slaves in uh
more congressional sheet seats so they get more voting power in congress um
yeah maybe the best way to counter that is to to count robots on the census to uh
persuade the liberals that the slavery is wrong you have to get creative you know when you're when
When you're in a democracy, you have to get creative when you're engaging in the political back and forth with whatever your rival is.
But yeah, kind of recap the week before we go into the Fountain Boost.
Some stories that we didn't talk about that we probably could have as the assassination markets in Minnesota.
Just another example of things kind of heating up, of this disruption technology, changing the way things work.
You've got Stephen Lobka rocking a broccoli haircut now,
now that he's working at Nakamoto.
That was, I guess, one of his terms of employment with them.
Maggie Morris wasn't very happy about that.
I had a few other in my head.
Justin Batchelor, he's got a Nautz flotilla.
uh they're floating right now to the mediterranean to uh they've got a bunch of
umberls and they are they're going to set those up in gaza they're going to go to uh
whatever part of gaza is still got electricity and uh set that up so you know if you know anything
about the situation in gaza you know that they don't have a lot of compute power they don't have
a lot of far drive space to go around right now.
So their nodes need to be able to filter the spam,
especially if the boomers are going to be coming on.
We're going to teach them how to spend their Bitcoin.
They're going to be filling up blocks,
and then you're going to be competing with spam
and actual monetary transactions.
So I'm not a big, I change sides.
I'm not a Nazi guy anymore.
another nazi because they lost um but i think then sir i think i think naz is perfect for
palestinians and naz is perfect for uh people you know in iran right now who are getting bombed and
losing all their infrastructure electricity but um so i'm glad it exists for them i've got it i
was just scrolling my timeline of things that i tweeted that i wanted to talk about um there's a
Happy Father's Day to Adam Curry, the podfather, the father of podcasting, the father of podcasting 2.0, the father of Bitcoin podcast.
We couldn't do 40 HPW without Adam Curry, so very happy Father's Day to you.
That was one of the notable ones.
I'm already blanking on everything that I already read.
I guess it wasn't that important.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Last one that I think is important.
um coinbase and palantir sponsored trump's birthday party that's right the uh the the
statist uh army parade was sponsored by coinbase which reminds me when you mentioned palantir
big news out of the north pole this weekend uh there was santa claus had narrowed it down to
Palantir and,
uh,
pletor for outsourcing where he was going to get his naughty list,
his information on who was naughty.
He was nice.
Um,
this past year.
So Christmas,
2025,
uh,
present Santa Claus will be determining whether you'd be a coal or you get
presents based on whether or not you're on pletitor is naughty or nice list.
So if you're going to pay for Bitcoin,
maybe you don't think it's wrong i would encourage you to maintain your opsec because if
predator finds out that you are buying paper bitcoin or that you are shilling paper bitcoin
uh your stocking may be full of coal this christmas yeah you know watching coinbase sponsor uh
trump's birthday party was interesting and if anybody doesn't know what trump did for
his birthday party he he threw a military parade and uh i think that's um kind of indicative of
maybe uh paper bitcoin i think a lot of people would argue that that this means that shit coining
is funding war but i think that very quickly moves into once the shit coiners realize that
they can paper bitcoin they going to do that and uh that kind of leads this shows that there is depth to this argument that paper bitcoin could facilitate and fund war so that was all interesting to see but yeah do you have any thoughts before we get
into the found boost no i think it is it's a very dynamic situation right now globally economically
socially etc so i mean we're just you know how we do we're just going to monitor it and we will
continue to provide you with the best information and signal that we possibly can how how many
monitor computer monitors do you think is necessary to monitor all the situations going on right now
how many of you got set up right i've got a half a dozen i think uh when we were in vegas we went
to the the casino casinos and we we went to a sports book and it was just it was like a it's
two movie theater walls stack on top of each other with with like 12 screens each um i think
that'd be a good start i don't know that's enough but it'd be a good start maybe we should rent that
out next year repurpose it for monitoring the situation when we're in vegas instead of having
sports gambling on the on the screen we'll have a situation monitoring gambling it's a great idea
what's a great idea all right well going you can gamble on the situation too yeah
going to the boost shadrack 21,093 sat says lfg heart emoji uh smoking emoji hashtag 40 hpw
podcast headphones very very cool guy shadrack's one of my
favorite people in the world always appreciate hell yeah thank thank you shadrack look forward
to hanging out with you again soon.
I don't know when the next time I see him.
I always run into Shadrach in the most unexpected times.
I expect I'll probably see him at Lake Satoshi.
I'm excited for that.
Next one is from...
This is a good one.
It's from Noah.
How do you say her last name?
Noah Grumman?
I just say Grumman.
The defense contractor.
It's from Israel.
bidding uh says rocking a scardust shirt talking about it on a bitcoin podcast you just made the
awesome humans who are scardust hall of fame so yeah noah is the lead singer of the progressive
metal band scardust if you follow us very closely you've probably heard us talk about scardust you've
probably seen us post about scardust you've probably seen their music on our timeline
but if you haven't
you should check them out
look them up
they're on Nostra now
NOLA is on
Twitter
they're doing a giveaway right now
by the time you hear this it's going to be too late
but due to the hypersonic missiles
they were unable to get out
of Israel to go to BTC
Prague this week
they'll be doing some underground
bomb shelter orange peeling tours
uh so and you know if you don't have access to dennis porter uh audio or video um you still
would like to orange pill friends and family look for a scar dust uh you know performance in one of
the uh subway systems or wherever they got like all kinds of crazy bomb shelters down there so
check that out i absolutely love scar dust i've been so they've been doing a
uh zap dot stream live stream for over a week now it's been great i you know when i'm sitting
there and writing i'll be listening i kind of oscillate back and forth between scardust and uh
and mozart and tchaikovsky i've been listening a lot of tchaikovsky recently uh but you know for me
when i think of scardust i i kind of look at them in the same way that dagny taggart looked at richard
Halle and Atlas Shrugged.
And fortunately, they haven't disappeared and gone off the face of the earth.
But I'm impatiently waiting for their new album, which is coming out mid-July.
I think it's like July 18th.
And so roughly a month from now, they're going to release their new album.
I'm pretty excited about it.
But yeah, thank you for the boost, Noah.
Next boost, Late Stage Hoddle, 5,000 sats.
Okay, before I read this boost, I got some exciting news, Rod.
It sounds like late stage HODL is going to be at Lake Satoshi.
So we're going to be able to meet him.
Late stage.
Wow.
Last minute booth.
52 minutes ago.
Almost missed it.
If we didn't record late today, we would have missed his booth.
His boost.
He's always coming in late too.
Oh, hell yeah.
I almost missed this episode.
Here's a pre-listen boost.
My vacation this past week and really cut into my 40 HPW.
well you made it just in the nick of time ron and i are recording a little bit late
unfortunately uh or well in this case fortunately so you got in whatever your vacation was i'm sure
is well deserved hope you enjoyed it next one's from uh from jason c the co-host of back on the
chain with fundamentals the fish bitcoin podcast uh hybrids not the right word whatever but you
You know what it is.
Which is actually, it's great.
If you like jam bands, you like, even if you don't like jam bands and fish, it's really good because they tie so much of just like culture.
If you're like an old Gen X guy like those guys are, you like remembering things from the 90s.
They talk a lot about the 90s and how cool was the 90s.
they talk about basically what it was like being a because this is what being a fish fan was
back then and probably still is to today it was like being a big corner before there was bitcoin
like you probably didn't know too many people in your hometown who liked fish but you would go to
shows it was like holy shit there's like all these people showed to this like big event this big
conference and there she's a concert um you could go to meetups you could you find like weird
internet forums and like just small websites where you could you could download fish music
that they had recorded you know live at a show um and it was it was just a very esoteric
community of people who listen to 40 hours of content very unique content per week
uh and they were able to share a lot of great experiences to you and do mushrooms and acid
together um yeah and yeah so if you like if you like bitcoin podcasts this is also a bitcoin
podcast but it's it's also more than a bitcoin podcast i think you'll enjoy so you should
definitely check out back on the chain at least one time and uh see if you like it i think you will
but yeah anyways thank you for the 2,121 sats jason said in a world where everyone who writes
code or dreams up another stupid mstr derivative as an quote-unquote engineer we are called to take
a stand words matter we are not pledged we are pioneers and that's exactly just goes back to
what i was saying the corners pioneers ish fans especially in the 90s they were pioneers they
were pioneers of music pioneers of culture and pioneers of um inhaling balloons full of nitrous
in the parking lot after a show,
which is, you know, people still do that today,
but now the user experience
for getting high on nitrous
is improved dramatically
since like 1992.
So you can probably,
a lot of that is thanks to fishmans.
Well, I think doing nitrous at a fish concert
is much different than doing it
at a mumble rap concert You know what I mean Very different experience Absolutely yeah one of the things that i really have grown to appreciate about fish and i wouldn say i i listened to them a whole lot
um but i have grown in appreciation as a result of the podcast the one thing that i've learned is
uh no show was like a previous show and it's very unusual for for music performances because
oftentimes they're very uh scripted and rehearsed and it's a it's a big thing but you you know the
the style at which fish performed it was it had improv aspects to it every time and so you know
you go to a lot of these concerts sometimes it feels a little bit impersonal because you're like
the only thing that's different between this show and every other show that this guy did was which
city they say how's it going you know what i mean they're in new york they say how's it going new
york they're in new jersey how's it going new jersey you know you go to philadelphia how's it
going like that's that's like the variable that that differs from time to time and once in a while
if you get them a little bit drunk and tired uh they might mix up which city they're in that's
always funny uh but yeah fish was very unique in that that front i get a lot of respect for it
But yeah, we've got a lot of musicians or music fans in this episode.
The next boost is as a wow.
Wow.
2000 stats.
As a wow.
Wow.
Put out a banger on wave lake.
It was trending last week.
I'll have to go look and see if it's trending there.
It's called go gov cucks.
Go check it out.
Great.
Great song.
Really cool.
Hope he sticks with it.
Continues it.
The next one is from Beliza.
1000 intense stats.
having a KYC free
cig on me.
We give us free KYC
cigarette every episode.
Thanks to Blizza.
We appreciate you, man.
The next one is a double boost.
Blizza's a double booster, or
it's a Noster thing.
But, yeah, man,
thanks for the boost.
Another double one from Turkey here
is coming up next.
It's funny, we got
the next two booster from turkey and bob the cat we got a lot of of farm animals i guess turkeys
are really farm animals but it's good to have animals as fans oh yeah well let me let's let's
read through these real quick uh 500 sands bob the cow orange pillars are as brave as the pilgrims
who sailed to the new world i think in a lot of cases yes a lot of cases yes orange pillars have
been uh pretty brave and you know some of them have made some pretty uh catastrophic mistakes
in the process but that that's part about going into the unknown and taking risks uh
to have massive rewards you have to take oftentimes take massive risks you oftentimes don't get very
ahead in life by just playing it safe and the pilgrims sure uh sure got ahead the ones that
were successful they they settled a whole new world you say the founding of america if it wasn't
for that if it wasn't the pilgrims coming here we wouldn't have podcasts that's true that's true
uh very covered turkey turkey goes with 500 sats um btc on board another uh another regular 300
sats lightning emoji thumbs up thumbs up and now the rest of the people on this list they did not
produced us so we normally don't uh well actually it looks like it's just doubles i don't know
they're just posted i think it's just doubles i think so when somebody posts the episode link
on nostr it uh it puts it in the list yeah we appreciate if you do that that's a boost in it
itself but uh yeah only only you only get past our spam filters if you if you send us some
satoshi but yeah anyways you got any closing thoughts before we wrap this one up no no i think
uh i think we covered it before the boost but uh what's coming up i mean we got we got another
episode before fourth of july uh yeah i didn't even know so we'll see if we'll see if there's
any iran or israel i mean israel is winning so we'll see if there's any iran left uh let's we'll
See if Trump tries to make the plebs go to war.
I don't know.
It's going to be a spicy summer, I think.
It's going to be fiery, but mostly peaceful.
That's good for Bitcoin.
Well, anyways, thank you to everybody that tuned in to this edition of the Beagle Weekly.
And we'll catch you here again next week.
The mempool couldn't last
But every note should judge its own
We build the tools, not set the tone
You cry for knots, for filtered streams
But censorship fulfills no dreams
And though we see the spam you fight
We won't hard code what's wrong or right
So hold the line, we won't forbid
The data flows just as it did
We patched the leaks but not the speech
We're pragmatic wanderers
You locked it down, you fought the tide
But we saw harm when rules divide
We let the free flow take its course
And mitigate without brute force
Our mempool's big, our code is lean
But not a tool for cleansing memes
We won't pick winners in this fight
We build the rails, not judge what's right
So hold the line, we won't forbid
The data flows just as it did
We patch the leaks, but not the speech
We're pragmatic wanderers
We don't endorse the JPEG spam
But neither do we build a dam
We won't decide what counts as true
That's up to notes, not just a few
Ooh, this chain was made to let all in
Ooh, not filtered tight to fit one spin
So hold the line, we won't forbid
The data flows just as it did
We patch the leaks but not the speech
We're pragmatic wonderers
