This morning, the spirit laid something mighty heavy on my heart.
You see, the Lord doesn't just work through angels in the clouds.
Oh, no.
He moves right here on this earth, in the flesh, in history, in power.
And he has lit a fire for this generation, a beacon in the darkness.
And Bitcoin Twitter is calling it the God candle.
Now some of you ask me, Pastor Jeffs, what is this candle?
Let me tell you, it is ordained prosperity, divine thermodynamic energy, a holy flame that can't be snuffed out.
You will know it when you see it.
When it comes, every knee will bow in the glory of NGU.
And yes, I believe with all my soul that the Lord has chosen Donald J. Trump to raise it up high.
That man has struck the match on the altar of America,
and the fire that burns is not of man, but of God Almighty.
You see, when the world says recession, the God candle says prosperity.
When the world says war, the God candle says wealth and dominion.
When the devil says you are nothing, the God candle says you are chosen, blessed, and highly favored.
So don't you hide your light under a bushel, church
Don't you tuck your blessings away in fear
Lift that candle up high above the chaos and let it shine
For the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous
And the God candle burns to guide that transfer straight into your hands
Now go forth and listen to 40 hours of Bitcoin podcasts
I see the shadows, the markets may shake
But holy fires rising, make no mistake
The prophets are shouting, the choirs all sing
The God candles coming, let the blessings ring
Raise your hands high, believe and receive
The God candle's burning, oh I do believe
Through the storm and the struggle, we'll never fall
The God candle is coming, a light for us all
They say we're in darkness
But we know the plan
A flame from on high
Lived by God's own hand
The nations may stumble
The doubters may frown
But the God candle's rising
It cannot burn down
Raise your hands high
Believe and receive
The God candle's burning
Oh, I do believe
Through the storm and the struggle
We'll never fall
The God candle is coming
A light for us all
Do you see it?
Do you see the flame?
Do you believe it?
It's in His name
Raise your hands high, believe and receive. The God candle's coming, oh I do believe.
From the pulpit to Wall Street, the fire won't stop. The God candle is coming, salvation for all.
Welcome back to Bugle Weekly.
It's been a very controversial and very hotly contested narrative
on Bitcoin Twitter and the podcast sphere this week.
Right now, the plebs are feeling attacked.
The plebs are lashing out.
The plebs are angry, and the plebs are angry at Kaur.
They're angry at Shinobi.
they're angry at uh they're angry at everything they're angry in their in all facets of their life
but they're directing it towards uh you know the bitcoin elites the core developers
the seed coiners they're just they're pointing it all and those elites those core that they're
they're pointing it right back on the plebs and they're reminding the plebs that the plebs are
retarded and the plebs are trying to cancel people they're trying to uh cancel podcast
sponsorships they're going after people who even laugh and you even use a an emoji to signal support
to anybody who calls them retarded and this is this is where we're at today and it really boils
down to the knots runners versus core and the when the plebs who feel attacked and who are being
called retarded or retreating to knots nodes for kind of this signal and this uh and this alliance
and it's that's just kind of where we're at today it's all colorless to this richard greaser
how are you doing uh what is your take what is your do you have your finger on the pulse right now
of the plets i think it's just all downhill from from here for the plabs
it's all downhill it's not cool to be a pleb anymore it's not cool to
being an active participant to not do the work to actually understand what you're talking about
to not be a productive member of society you know it's the idea of being a pleb is attractive to
people that just want to take a passive role they want to larp they want to you know do nothing but
feel like they're doing something it's the age of the pioneer folks it's the the age of action
of bettering yourself of being an active participant in your life
in this ecosystem in the world of podcasting
it's just not it's not cool anymore you know swan bits fall cory's not cool anymore saquon's
getting hammered
it's just not it's not cool to be a pleb anymore and they are retreating to their safe spaces as
they are realizing it's not they're not cool nobody it is yeah plans are half again everybody
is angry and grumpy right and it's we've been talking about this for a few weeks now
everybody is grumpy for usually personal reasons and the plebs are grumpy because it's it's been
four years it's been five years and they're still they're not economic notes and if you if you say
that an on economic note doesn't matter if you talk about economic notes versus non-economic
notes they get very sensitive they get very angry and they and they they challenge your
perspective but it's it is it all comes down to the sensitivity is they know that they're not
economic nodes and they have no excuse if they listened to 40 hours of bitcoin podcasts per week
what the pioneers have been doing like the builders have been doing they would be economic
nodes and they're not and they go and they they're running knots right now and that's not
every like not every not all the on economic nodes are running knots there's many many economic non
economic nodes who are running core but a lot of them are running to knots because they think that
filters uh and configurations in their config being different from everybody else's or being unique
makes them an economic node and it's it just it takes more than filtering spam to be an economic
node things you know literally and metaphorically and i think that people need to figure out
how to make those changes i don't know is that am i being too harsh richard
no because the definition of a pleb is a loser essentially and when people self-identify as
losers and you describe them as losers calling them losers is not going too hard at all they
It's just describing an objective reality.
If you identify as a pleb, you self-identify as a loser.
And if you self-identify as a loser, why would you be upset by people describing you as a loser?
Right.
It's, you know, when you, when we were teenagers, you might have described yourself, you know, as a pleb or a punk or, you know, some kind of slacker, some kind of, uh, you know, I think my, my first AOL instant messenger handle was natural born slacker.
uh you know and i wore it like a badge and people didn't when they were new bitcoiners they wore
a plaid a retard you know adi they wore like a badge but if you're still if you're still a slacker
and you still have a green mohawk and you still wear a long sleeve t-shirt that's a different
color than a short sleeve t-shirt over it and it's like you're stained it's your beavis and
butthead is or tool 2001 uh uh tour t-shirt your gen x you know if you're still that when you're
45 50 years old it's pathetic it's you're like you're not an economic node you live in your mom's
basement you're still listening to that you're still trying to relive that oh i'm a i'm a slacker
No, you can't be a pleb forever.
Pleb is not, it's like a minimum wage.
It's for somebody who's new,
who trying to figure out the space looking to make a name for themselves Pleb not forever So these people who it like these Peter Plebs Peter Pans they just never want to grow up
They want to be a pleb forever.
And the friction point right now,
we're in the fourth turning.
You can't be a pleb in the fourth turning.
You can't still be a pleb in the fourth turning.
You were here during the COVID awards.
Ah, it's just,
there's so much there on pack here.
There's a huge opportunity for the plebs right now.
The exciting thing about Bitcoin isn't the ability to LARP with it.
The exciting thing about Bitcoin is to be able to build a life around it.
You have a competitive advantage in society.
And using the competitive advantage to watch more Netflix, I think, is a waste of the opportunity.
You want to smoke weed.
you want to sit in your underwear and you watch Netflix and then complain about uh people calling
you retarded on Twitter it's like come on guys like you have an opportunity take the money that
uh you're uh you know the labor that you put out and you save in build something unless you're
you're just kind of a nihilist and you just don't really care about the future for maybe you don't
have children but if you don't care about the future you know for for other people's children
uh i think that's a lame mentality but it's your choice to make it i'm not going to like
try and coerce you out of that decision or cancel you for being a loser it's your right to be a
loser but i think when you are presented with an opportunity it's worthwhile using that opportunity
and you're gonna feel a lot better about yourself if you do yeah and here's the thing and everybody's
really upset right now and they're taking in their they're taking their frustrations out
by trying to cancel people trying to cancel people with uh with startups trying to cancel
people with bitcoin companies hardware wallet companies custody insurance they're trying to
cancel entrepreneurs are trying to cancel people who have stake who had economic nodes are trying
to cancel economic nodes uh by taking away their value for value customers etc etc and
they're doing it because these these people with stake with skin in the game have laughed at them
and called them retarded but i think what we're kind of summing up here is that if you have
self-identified and made your personality out of being retarded you can't get angry
and and call people hypocrites and call people scoundrels and trying to cancel them
for laughing at you and calling you retarded they are just they're they're calling you what you
present to them if you present as a retard people will call you a retard that's just how it works
and you know we're recording this on uh sunday august 31st right before labor day right before
the apparent end of paper bitcoin summer some people hope um but labor day is you know it's
about a lot of things i don't think we have to explain labor day to you but what we think is
that or what I think personally is that Labor Day is a celebration of people who've done the work,
who've become economic nodes, who have listened to 40 hours per week, who become Bitcoin podcasters,
who participate in that skin in the game and who say, I'm not a retarded pleb. I am a Bitcoin
podcaster i am a ceo i am a whatever it is you want to be i'm an economic node i'm not a retarded
pleb and that's what labor day we we celebrate and do you do you want to be in the class of people
who have built and sweat and bled to build this network and build this community and build this
society or do you just want to be a retarded pleb and i think that's what we should be reflecting on
this weekend there's a lot to reflect on this weekend
there's think about all the labor that has been put out there to create the tools that you're able
to benefit from today the podcasters that put the labor in to educate people on how to use those tools
the people that are running the economy and actually contributing to it the truck drivers
that are driving your hardware wallets from the port to the warehouse to the distribution center
the the people that are building the world that are building the houses that you live in
the people like Sly Goomba,
the people like Pies.
We got to appreciate the laborers, folks.
And the Bitcoin miners.
I mean, Bitcoin miners are the laborers
of the network for us.
Absolutely.
The devs, if anything,
the devs should be having lots of sex on Labor Day.
That's for sure.
They deserve it.
Absolutely.
Absolutely. And listen, the logical conclusion is if you don't stop being a retarded pleb, well, you're going to have to deal with the mockery.
but for those of us who maybe are getting a little too much joy out of calling the plebs
retards and watching them re on the touch you know be i'm speaking to you um it we have to
respect their decision and like he said like you if you want to stay uh you know appear a peter
pleb a child forever um we're still we're still gonna need you and you're still gonna be part of
the citadels um we're gonna have you know we're gonna need servant servants in the citadels we're
gonna need we're gonna be landlords we're gonna need tenants people who think real estate's shit
coins um so it's you know we have to we can't be too disrespectful to the pleads we do want to have
them in our in our citadels it's like what pleb would you pick to be like your house servant your
mansion servant or your uh you know your pool your pool pled to clean your pool in the citadels
like i i'm definitely gonna want to go with somebody who's got good memes like i want to
have a funny pled clean in my pool in the citadel like what are you what are you looking for in your
uh private pleb a cobbler you want to call a pleb cobbler well a cobbler is like an actual
profession so i don't think a pleb uh can be a cobbler uh that's a good question i guess i'd
have to do some more research i don't i don't hang out with the plebs i hang out with pioneers so i
don't know of any off the top of my head well fair enough fair enough it's uh i i don't want
a retarded pleb for my my pool boy or like doing my landscaping but uh i do want i want a funny
pleb i once like one of those guys who spends all the time in spaces instead of listening to
podcasts because at least at least i could you know try to convince him to listen to a good
episode here and there of a podcast if he's not going to listen to 40 hours
a pleb i can mentor good point um well speaking of uh speaking of plebs do you i don't know much
about Asian plebs, but do you think they had a pretty good, uh, like toxic Asian pleb happy hour
in Bitcoin Asia? Like, what do you, what did you hear about Bitcoin Asia? Is China officially going
to send it for once or what's going on? One of the big stories that I heard out of Bitcoin Asia
was that all the, uh, the cute Chinese ladies wanted to, uh, take pictures with Shinobi,
take selfies with shinobi that's right so
i'm sure d plus plus was feeling pretty jealous in that moment oh yeah i mean uh
shinobi and the musics costume take in pictures with a bunch of like
screaming like they're like they're seeing the beatles like screaming to see shinobi
um that was probably hilarious i would i would have loved to just see that that interaction on
the streets of hong kong yeah it sounded like a good conference i was disappointed that i was not
there i really should have been there little asian they appreciate bitcoin podcasters though that's
for sure uh i think the i think the audience really appreciated when david uh david daily
told them all to buckle up uh because it really you know not only do they have to buckle up for
the bull market but you know if you like if you get in a car in china with your wife and you let
her drive better buckle up because that's you that's going to be a dangerous stride yeah if
you've seen the roads like some of those drive around a mountain there's not even any guardrails
you can let your wife drive around a mountain with no guardrails if your wife is asian jesus
christ buckle up indeed buckle up definitely has a different meaning if you're if you have a chinese
wife it's a very precarious situation what would you rather do put your money like retrospectively
would you rather get into a car with a chinese woman or put your money in block fly what do you
think's riskier i yeah that's a good question because when you know something's going wrong
it's like gradually and suddenly you don't have time to you know withdraw from the situation
uh jesus christ i'd probably i probably wrote all my money and block fight to tell you the truth
you can lose your money and make it back but you you can't get your life back
If you get a horrendous car crash.
At least you get 10% yields on your tether on BlockFi.
Your wife is getting these negative yields.
She's always spending your money.
Yeah, but there's perks that come with it.
There's benefits of having a wife beyond just her spending.
It's just one of those trade-offs.
Everything has trade-offs, right?
Yeah, you're right.
It's not necessarily inherently good or bad,
but yeah I mean spending a little bit more money than you want to a target
oftentimes it worth it if your wife making your bed for you for example I know if i met if shinobi had a asian waifu instead of dating d i bet you know he be a lot happier he have a wife making his bed for him
he would have you know some sushi for dinner which he loves a glass of whiskey poured for him
he wouldn't be so grumpy he wouldn't be screaming at tom or calling him a retard on twitter
shinobi needs a nice waifu
I imagine probably one of the most annoying parts
of marrying an Asian woman
is her wanting to take selfies with you everywhere
there's a statue, there's a bench
benches don't seem that exciting
to the average person, but to an Asian woman
that bench is a selfie opportunity
there's a
you know just anything out of
ordinary a mural
can you imagine Shinobi
having to take pictures of his wife
at the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas
you know how many things Asians want to
take pictures of selfies
in front of in Vegas
it's never ending I don't know what it is
what is it about Asian people
and selfies everywhere
I think the selfie stick was
invented in China
it's like if you just you could just say that somebody else's selfie on instagram is yours
because nobody would be able to tell the difference it'd be like oh that that's your selfie
because you look like everybody else in the country you just go on instagram and get a
selfie at that bench in the middle of uh you know provo utah that you thought was so interesting
just use somebody else's picture put it on your account i think we should start a business
like a drone company that just follows around these asian tourists just taking selfies of them
everywhere runs out of battery goes to a charging station recharges sends a different drone 24 7
selfie coverage i think that would do some numbers it's like the uber for selfies in a way
selfie interesting interesting or right i guess we're getting to the point where you can do uh
you can just have robots follow people around and take selfies of them we're pretty close to that
that's true that would be like uh they like coinbase could sponsor that it's just like hey
you're in the you're in the middle of you know middle of creating and it swoops down it's like
hey would you like to onboard do your kyc with coinbase and get the selfie right now so you get
free selfie in one of the most beautiful locations in the world and all you have to do is sign up for
and you get some free crypto when you sign up for your coinbase yeah one of the things we don't
really hear about very often is how many bitcoin podcasts there are in china we know they have those
influencer factories yeah like they have the wealth the podcasters in china are working so i
I mean, they have a lot of people.
So listen to 40 hours per week.
They need a lot of podcasts.
I just can't imagine podcasting so much
that I wanted to jump off out of the studio
and add suicide nets to catch me.
Like, I could never get to that point.
I think I could.
You could podcast too much
that you just want to end it.
You just want to dive out,
dive out the pop story window.
well one of the things that i've been brainstorming on that i really want to do
and we're going to do it at some point is a 40 hour straight podcast i think
i think i could do 40 hours straight i would just hope we could get nets around our audience
around their houses so i think listening to us for 40 hours might make them want to be the ones
that jump out the window they would they would have to do it over a period of a week i wouldn't
suggest doing it in one go but i'm sure there's probably at least a handful of our listeners that
would try and do the 40 hour street if we were gonna podcast for 40 hours straight at least a
few of them would try to listen for 40 hours straight you know boomer would try to do that
boomer that shadrach would do it
pies would not find the mammals would try fundamentals will probably be there
yeah fundamentals would want to be on that i'm looking forward to it it's gonna happen it's
probably gonna happen after vegas next year i'm not looking at doing that before but looking at
doing a 40-hour podcast it's on the docket it's gotta happen at some point i'm really excited about
it you could want to do mushrooms on
maybe it'd have to yeah i mean there would have to be some performance enhancers for sure
used throughout the uh the duration to stay in 40 hours on on just cigarettes and coffee alone
is kind of difficult i was telling you i was telling you i think that it would be awesome
to do a 40 hour straight podcast with an audience of bitcoin podcasters who were also
a part of the 40 hour it would be it would be very meta we have to flesh that out i'm a little
too high right now to get into the details but uh just a bunch of it would be like doing 40 hours
or 40 different podcasts in a row we've talked about different ways of doing it but uh yeah it
is it's gonna be the coolest thing that's ever happened in bitcoin podcast history it's gonna
be the longest bitcoin podcast it's going to be the highest signal bitcoin podcast it's going to
be it's going to be bigger than the sailor series but we're still building it it's just going to be
great but 40 hours straight podcast but to get off this topic this is one i think is super important
and you brought it up as well is paper bitcoin summer over is it labor day is this the end of
paper bitcoin summer and just paper bitcoin summer end on the last day of a summer on the
the, you know, the, the Equinox or does it never end?
What, what's the deal with paper Bitcoin summer?
I don't know.
I mean, it's looking like paper Bitcoin summer is over for Saquon's.
I think that's a hard one not to argue.
Is it over universally for micro strategy for meta planet?
I don't know.
I don't pay attention to it.
I'm not a stock guy.
uh i like bitcoin i'm not into corporate meme stonks but the sentiment looks like
it's dipping right now yeah i've had a bitcoin summer i think you nailed it
saquon's they could not hang pleneter is waiting he is waiting he's taking his scheduling time
off at work so we can make the uh the live stream with brady swenson and ben workman to talk about
their exciting how excited they are to exploit opportunities and capital structures
in capital markets to provide shareholder value but they have to they have to keep
i was pounding and rescheduling because they can't get capital and twitter as he's reported
on this pretty well saquon's it's done um but for some people it's like living in miami you know if
you're like lubka himself stephen lubka lives in miami in south florida summer never ends there
it's you just have to have you just have to have the right vibe you have to have enough vibes to
last last of the summer and extend it i don't i don't have a good answer or prediction on it
I guess I should go listen to some macro podcasts and hear other people's
opinions on it.
But yeah,
the sentiment looks like it's dropping.
We'll have to,
we'll have to monitor the situation in regards to paper Bitcoin summer pretty
closely.
A lot of the,
a lot of grumpy people were,
they they've called paper Bitcoin summer being over.
I'd be interested to see if somebody sets up a paper Bitcoin summer obituary website to see how many people have called it.
There we go.
Yeah, I think that some people think that the top is in, they thought it was in Repated for Bitcoin summer, was the title of what Bitcoin did.
One of their latest episodes with WebCut and who else?
American HODL.
They thought that that might be the top, but I think if you're optimistic enough or you have an optimistic enough view, paper Bitcoin summer can go so much higher.
I don't think the top for paper Bitcoin summer is in until it is the title of a Joe Rogan podcast or it is the title of an all in podcast.
I think that Paper Bitcoin Summer can rise to the top of the Spotify fountain, whatever you want.
It's not just fountain, the Spotify Apple charts as the number one podcast.
I think that will be the top for Paper Bitcoin Summer.
And until it reaches that, I'm not convinced it's over.
I'm not really convinced it's over yet either.
I think it's too early to call the top, especially when the Fed's looking like they're going to loosen up their policy on interest rates.
Yeah, so if the Federal Reserve, I'd say this would probably be the top podcast.
If an FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve Chairman mentioned Paper Bitcoin Summer, and as a result of Paper Bitcoin Summer, they were going to raise or hold interest rates steady, that would be the top for me, for sure.
I guess the question is, is this the super cycle or not?
If it's the super cycle, Paper Bitcoin Summer is going to continue forward.
We have not seen a God candle yet.
no we have not not even close not no omega candle nothing
what's samson been up to i i haven't seen his tweets in a while i saw a headline that samson
uh it was a bitcoin asia related headline that samson was orange peeling the japanese government
so he kind of
it's kind of like he's sliding in
underneath
Dylan LeClaire
and going straight to the Bank of Japan
and orange pilling them himself
did he take any selfies
I haven't seen any selfies
I've trouble trusting Sam
since I actually didn't do any work
or if he's just claiming that he is
we all know
he said no
for Tather instead of orange pilling them
well I think the Samson he thinks is setting them up with Tether is orange peeling them I think he got that kind of he like Joe Nakamoto in that regard That true That a good point
But yeah, you bring up Dennis Porter.
That's another guy who kind of took his eye off the ball.
And I'm kind of wondering how hard he's working for Bitcoin and orange pilling politicians like he says he is.
when he seems to i mean dennis barter seems to me like he wants to be
associated and hang out with retarded blebs like dennis decided he wants to be a retarded pleb
and shitpost instead of be a professional who's building an orange building for bitcoin
well i think the thing about dennis is you know the trajectory he's on he's going to be a u.s
senator at some point he's probably going to be u.s president at some point he understands that
the plebs make up a large part of his voting base and so he does have to cater to the plebs like
it's it's it's a very different game when you're looking at politicians than you know podcasters
or or business people because he has to represent multiple constituents and the plebs are
inevitably going to be his constituents he doesn't have the luxury
operating in a democracy to just write people off in the same way and just not care about them
that's a good point that's a good point it's just uh you know you there's only so much time in a day
there's only so many hours in a week and it's just curious how people spend them and it seems like
dennis is spending his differently these days i mean politicians always pivot
one thing that's consistent about all politicians for the most part except for like
a handful is that they're going to be inconsistent and it's just it's part of the game is part of
what you have to accept in a democracy is that the whims of the population change
dramatically they change their opinions on things they change what they're mad about
it's it's not consistent they're not dealing with a rational audience in a lot of ways they're
not dealing with largely pioneers that have morals and principles that they stand by that
they're dealing with the population that just you know does whatever the tv tells them to
and they therefore have to adjust but i think one thing that dennis is consistent on is he's still
curing erectile dysfunction he's still bullish on bitcoin he's still fighting for your rights
he's got a very high approval rating he's got an absolutely perfect track record
yeah i guess it's i guess it is now like dennis porter is showing that he supports and will defend
the rights of non-economic node runners like dennis porter wants to support node runners he
wants to support eight coiners he wants to support self-custody but he also wants to support
non-economic node runners and i think it's it'll just be interesting to bring that you know
big tent politics if anybody can manage it it's dennis but it does get hairy and i just wonder
if dennis can handle the plants when they start to go crazy and desert and might they might turn
against him is this going to be a lot to manage but if anybody can do it it is dennis absolutely
um you know pivoting slightly on this topic uh something big to happen this week was
our buddy stew stew txo uh he got expelled from bitcoin university by matthew cratter
he got a uh refined paid over strike using a core node which is worth mentioning um
um but it sparked the conversation that we had in spaces uh last week is should you know
should bitcoin university be able to just expel somebody because for being a piece of shit quote
unquote probably for being a spammer for being a core guy um should they have to have a like a
manual because what is the value of bitcoin university degree you you might not be able
to contribute at a high level to the to the to the code to the community to the network without
a bitcoin university degree in the future so should you know what is that value of that that degree
well i don't really think there's any value of it it's an unaccredited university this has been my
bone that I've picked with Matthew
Cratter this whole time is he's
the degree is valueless.
It's invalid credentials.
I don't think anybody should brag. I wouldn't hire a
bugle journalist because they in the job interview say they
got a degree from Bitcoin University. It's
not on the same level as a prestigious university like the
university of phoenix online completely different absolutely not absolutely yeah so it's
to clarify bitcoin university is not is a non-accredited institution has no credentials
not only that the head professor the only professor uh the dean of admissions etc
uh is matthew cratter and he is not a credentialed anything he's not credentialed cypherpunk he's not
a credentialed journalist he's not a credentialed professor he doesn't have a doctorate uh his only
experience is uh he worked in you know funny finance hedge fund land with uh for one of
teeter teal's hedge funds um and he taught day trading day trader university before he uh launched
bitcoin university so it's it's very similar to british hodl he's got a he's got a very similar
background a very similar uh content and a very similar vibe to british hodl matthew crowder is
kind of like the colorado hodl so to speak i think colorado hodl you're uh taken away from uh he's
he's an interesting guy you mean hodl rado that guy or is there a color no no no i just mean you
know bridge huddle is um is that matthew cratter he would be like colorado huddle because he you
know he's from colorado uh yeah yeah yeah so it's it's you know in in both british huddle and matthew
cratter they have i don't know i don't know how to say they just seem liking the shoes
he's a he's a peter thiel mentored pleb essentially larping as a university professor
right right think about if you were orange pilled by robert breedlove or if you were
orange pilled by teeter teal um orange pilling you know it's it's a powerful connection to the
person orange build you and then Matthew Kratzer has that with Peter Thiel so that's interesting
kind of like Jack Dorsey does does Jack Dorsey get orange pilled by Mike Brock I don't know
is that true have you heard that that would be interesting that would be interesting
I bet it it stayed in my head I guess I would have thought like Jack Dorsey
orange-pilled Mike Brock, not Mike Brock,
orange-pilled Jack Dorsey.
When you think about it
that way, it makes a little bit
more sense. Mike Brock is a
sophisticated philosopher.
I'm going to be
super shocked.
That's true.
I'm hoping that Mike Brock starts
a Bitcoin podcast. You think he'll come back?
I think he'll come back. I think he will.
I think
Mike Brock's one
of the few people who knows that he's woke but knows you can cancel people in bitcoin still
and i think if he starts a podcast to help other woke people realize uh they can be bitcoiners and
still cancel people i think that'll be a huge bit of it i think that'll be a huge movement
because trey wallace and like jenner so the progressive bitcoin they're not doing a good
enough job of helping people realize you can still cancel people in their coin yeah i think
one of the problems with jenner so she's just not woke and uh she yeah she's got some interesting
you know funny opinions about things but she uh she just doesn't do it for
the woke plebs
you know because like a lot of people get into
leftist communist
theory because they
just want to cancel somebody
that's their goal
like their dad
if their dad was rich
yeah
I've been thinking about it
there has been a riot you talked a little bit
about it in the beginning of the episode
you know people are
trying to cancel
people like Rob Hamilton for, for giggling, they're calling him the giggler.
I think the Bitcoin cancel culture is productive. You know, there, there's this,
the saying that I'm not a huge supporter of cancel culture, uh, or I'm not actually a
supporter of it at all, but I do think there's some positive benefits of it as, you know,
rather silly as it is because how else are you going to get these woke people into bitcoin bitcoin
is for everybody and to to get some people into bitcoin you just got to meet them where they're at
people have run out of things to cancel people for you can't cancel people for saying gay or retard
you can't cancel people you can't even cancel people for saying the n-word anymore
that's where things have gone
and Donald Trump
has completely changed
he's done a paradigm shift
on what a cancelable
offense is
and these people are hungry
they're looking for a way
to cancel somebody
and there's a whole new
litany of ways to cancel
for laughing at the plebs for being retarded
for
you know being a shit coiner for
you know whatever
there's
this whole new frontier of
cancelable offenses out
there that these loftists can get back into and i know it sounds like no we don't want these woke
people in bitcoin yes we do even if we have to put up with some annoying aspects think about it like
somebody who as soon as you make a mistake they are able to find out who your employer is
and talks to you and report your transgression to your employee, your employer,
that's really valuable uncovering feds.
We have those people looking for somebody's employers and figure,
oh, this person's a fed.
We can find feds faster.
And if you're a retarded pleb and somebody calls you one,
these people will get offended on your behalf and defend you.
and push back on people calling you retarded pleb,
and they'll give you,
they'll be like,
this person is a handy, capable pleb.
This is a disabled pleb.
They will find ways to deflect
from people who want to dismiss you.
Absolutely.
It's the only way that we're going to get the God candle, folks.
You got to open this community up for everybody.
it's just it's not how I want to spend my time I don't ever want to spend my time
hanging out with woke retards but to some degree I'm grateful for the people that are willing to
and for that reason I'm willing or I'm grateful for Matthew Cratter even though I just like
I think he's kind of a charlatan I think he has um got his priorities backwards
no i think i think you should be you should be allowed to get
a college education from any institution you choose i would beg you to listen to 40 hours
per week of bitcoin podcasts before determining that you you maybe do need to pay for a you know
a credentialed or not university. Um, and I think that'll help you avoid a lot of mistakes,
but you should be able to do what you want. So if Matthew Cratter wants to give you an education
and a degree in being a woke, retarded pleb, um, you should be allowed to get, just like,
I think you should be allowed to get a gender studies degree from the university of Harvard.
you know you should be able to get a woke retarded plant studies degree at
decoing university well said i agree i agree with that too i mean it's just
i think we believe in free markets even when
people are engaging in activities that we disagree with as long as it's voluntary and it's not
coercive i think there's something to be said about misleading people that's like the
the biggest issue I have with Matthew Cratter is I think he's misleading
people in the sense of,
uh,
presenting like he's actually running an accredited university and no way is
he,
uh,
so I'm not a big fan of that,
but at the same time,
I just,
I,
I believe that people are capable of,
uh,
coming to conclusions on their own and seeing that there's better ways to get
an education than Bitcoin university.
I think Stu proved that, you know, if, uh, you know, if, if the university engages in
restricting, uh, certain people for ideological reasons, it's going to backfire.
The market's going to respond.
People, some people might like that.
Some people might like that.
Stu is expelled, but I think the broader market's going to be like, well, I'm like Stu and I'm
an intelligent individual, uh, who's not a retarded pleb.
And, uh, I'm actually a big fan of Stu.
I think he's a great guy.
Shout out to Stu.
But yeah, uh, it's been an interesting week.
I mean, I, I think there's going to be a lot more arguing.
I think there's going to be people that are grumpy.
Uh, it's just been the norm.
That's been the norm, you know, for the last long while.
I don't know what it takes for the trend of grumpiness to turn around.
It just seems like indefinite grumpiness across the board.
I'd say paper Bitcoin summer is not over if people are still being grumpy.
So as long as people are grumpy, it must still be paper Bitcoin summer.
Will people still be grumpy if it's still paper Bitcoin summer and we get the God candle at the same time?
well i think the god god candle will make some people not grumpy for a little while
um and some people will a good enough god candle will probably help them not be grumpy forever
again but i don't know how many people that is i think a lot of the most grumpy people will still
be grumpy i mean i i don't think a god candle is gonna make planet or not grumpy i think pleasure
would be really grumpy by a god candle and tat i think he'll be grumpy by a god candle too i mean
it's just the the parameters in which he wants bitcoin to go up wouldn't ever allow for bitcoin
to go up there's no way right yeah right before we go to the fountain booth so uh monday night i
guess probably by the time you're listening to this uh i'm going to be doing my music show with
baba so i'm excited about that i kind of expect some technical difficulties because uh i haven't
had any guests and the streaming setup is uh complicated but we'll figure it out i'm looking
forward to that i think we're going to talk about the uh the influence of ai music on the music
ecosystem. I've been talking to a lot of musicians. It seems like there's a growing
concern around the proliferation of AI music. I think it's going to be a really
interesting discussion. Baba was a professional musician at one point in his life.
And so I think it's going to be a really interesting discussion, but
we're working on some exciting things i i do have to apologize guys i am a little bit
uh behind schedule on releasing some of the paid content for subscribers it's it's recorded it's
cute i just um we've been busy kaylee's been a little bit preoccupied with some uh personal
things so she hasn't been able to go through and edit all of it but we'll get that out at
some point this week we've got rod palmer's job interview and we've got a conversation with uh
maggie morris and mars spits bars about their recent article uh the top 10 hottest fads in
bitcoin it's a really fun banger conversation i think uh you'll enjoy that one a lot uh and we've
got more on the horizon
that I'm also excited about.
But
you got anything before we go
on the fountain booth? No, check that out.
I'm excited to listen to
your episode with Bubble, or your show
with Bubble.
Yeah, I think that's going to be a fun one.
If you haven't yet, folks,
go check out our conversation with Portland
Hoddle. I thought it was a really, really
fun, good one.
Very important conversation He was the chief villain on Twitter for a little bit We confronted him on it
We had a very good and nuanced conversation.
A lot of good feedback from listeners on that one.
Yeah, I definitely enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed that one, doing it and listening back.
You know, it's one of those things that makes a good podcast so good
is that you can't, you only get to live it once. You can't replicate it. It makes you appreciate
it more when you're in the moment. That's just how life works. You know, you gotta, you gotta
appreciate the great things because they're, they're, what makes them so great is that they're,
they're scarce. If every podcast was like that, it wouldn't be an, you know, an awesome podcast or,
but yeah um so starting out with the boost we got like five boosts from pies i'm just
gonna round them all off sturges with bubba sounds gangster as fuck bro 121 sats another
one for 121 sats he says i always been rocking car ho car heart coats back or la i'll start it
over. I always been rocking Carhartt coats since back when I was in middle school boy yucka boy yucka
and then like a ton of emojis squirt gun squirt gun squirt gun strong arm strong arm strong arm
mushroom mushroom mushroom salute salute salute 121 sats just posting the episode leak on Noster
stupid british accent hashtag 40 hpw so five boosts from pies all 121 sats
really appreciated pies i think the the british accent was asking about mechanic if
if he spoke uh we were talking about mechanic would he be as prolific if he spoke american
instead of british english and i think the answer is pretty self-evident people wouldn't
take him as seriously it's just the another example the plebs getting psyoped by british
accents this is something that has been very uh insidious in the bitcoin ecosystem for a long time
thank you so much pies um your boosting style probably would make some people can confuse you
with a spammer so be careful hanging out with the nazis um the next one 5 000 sats from late stage
hodl our boy thanks for the shout out and thanks for all y'all do it was a pleasure to meet you
both at lake satoshi i figured out how to subscribe so i guess i'll be auto boosting you once a month
now as if i needed to burn more sats if the ungovernable misfits add this then i'm sure
I'll have to subscribe to that too.
This is becoming like streaming
subscriptions. Give me back
my cable TV package with all my shows.
The future certainly does not have
good UX. Also,
with you all talking about trees
close to roads and civil engineers,
I think I zoned out while driving
and might have to listen back again since
I didn't count towards my 40 hours
per week. I'm sure I was
driving past one of the Fiat projects
looking at the trees and felt seen
as you mentioned, civil engineering.
late stage hodl well first of all thank you for your boost and again it was great to meet you at
lake satoshi uh but you know you were also through one of those economic nodes we talked about
earlier in the show um you're an engineer you labor this labor day is for you so cheers to you
late stage hodl uh and you deserve it um your 40 hours per week don't worry about this is what
Labor Day, take tomorrow off.
Don't listen to
Dickoine Podcast. Hang out with your family.
They seem awesome.
Enjoy.
Listen to this one and then, yeah,
don't listen to any others until Tuesday.
Right.
But yeah, really appreciate
the boost. We're going to be
talking about
Lake Satoshi for a while. It's just that
the afterglow,
it lasts for a long time.
It was such a special event.
I'm still feeling the afterglow.
of it but yeah i really appreciate you subscribing i don't remember talking about trees close to
roads last like the last episode i don't either but you might have zoned out you might have been
listening to a different podcast rob hamilton 10 000 sats smiley smiley smiley smiley emoji
thank you rob the giggler is there going in the replies i think those are laughing emojis
he's just tying he's just he can't stop giggling
hey it's a conviction um thank you rob what do you think oh yeah thanks about it
just him sitting there giggling all day he picks up his phone he looks at twitter
just starts giggling she's probably she's probably thinking wow 40 hours per week of
bitcoin podcast is uh makes you have a good mood he's always in a giggly mood i guess like one of
benefits like you know i think a lot of wives they they want to think they want their husbands
to think that they're funny so if you're giggling all the time you can just like present it as if
you're giggling at your wife like she she tells some jokes there you go there you go
what's so funny i i'm tickled by bitcoin podcasts bitcoin podcasters tickle me
next one brev huddle 1 121 sats one year anniversary of south bend indiana bitcoin
meetup is thursday september 4th at lang lab 630 celebrate with us show up with your grumpiness
and leave with your yeehaw pioneer energy if you go if you go to that south bend indiana bitcoin
need up on thursday september 4th at lang lab at 6 30 you will uh definitely not leave grumpy
you will have yeehaw pioneer energy exactly that's perfect advertising i like that we need we need
more yeehaw pioneer energy that's for sure rev huddle his his yeehaw pioneer energy is contagious
you're around him you're just gonna feel so energized wanting yeehaw yell yeehaw you might
get frustrated because he might start talking shit about using manera or whatever you can there's a
lot you can say about rev hodl and there's a lot that people do say about rev hodl but one thing
you cannot say about him is that he is a retarded pleb rev hodl is an economic note in the circular
economy true pioneer well thank you rev huddle chill now 999 sat says field log redacted audio
fragment summon a shiner transmission corrupted at 72 all great autocrats understand the
propagandic propagandistic value of an intimidating brand the larger meme grows the stronger the
collective unconscious immunological response comes to destroy it a radicalized perspective
leads to the center universal homeostasis the order of chaos infect yourself with optimism
unstable record true
need to run this through we need to run this through ai and see if we can compile it
into some sort of code.
This is too uh it like it like alien communication from the nether I like it
It's, uh, translated.
Yeah.
Translated for podcast listeners.
Well, people definitely become threatened when they feel like somebody is a better memer than them.
That's true.
That's one of the biggest causes of conflict on, on Bitcoin Twitter.
next one is from is from uh south side dave s and b 500 100 sats grumpy dick coiners might be the
new mtc's low coiners brain emoji eyes yeah danny that's what we kind of talked about right like the
grumpy pleads the the underclass and the citadels that's what it's kind of looking like maybe they're
just that's why they're grumpy right and they see themselves cleaning podcasters pools in the
citadels and that makes them grumpy they're gonna be the pool guys that people's wives don't want
to have sex with that's not the kind of pool guy you want to be i can't believe it but we have more
boost from pies i don't know what what the ordering is like how found and orders these but uh i don't
know if it's time-based or it's definitely it used to be value-based the biggest booster at the top
but now not so much pies 121 sats says hashtag adhpw another one 121 sats says uh beer clinking
emoji so pies is up to seven beers episode hell yeah next one is 10 000 sats from our boy
fundamentals we're still putting the link to his book bitcoin for institutions in the uh in the
show notes well we will this time um great shout out for programming bitcoin such a great book but
with some horrible unintended consequences people who read that book need to have more babies or else
we're not gonna make it did you see that jimmy song is now a uh self-help influencer on nostr
i did not see that is he doing vlogs he's doing vlogs self-help vlogs
well that's some yeehaw pioneer self-help energy he's kind of stepped away from uh programming to
uh focus on vlogs i mean i do vlogs too so i won't knock him too hard for it big fan of vlogs
we need more we need more people though that know how to code to be stepping in and making
their voice heard and in the debate right and the node wars right now though yeah i think what would
really accelerate the adoption of nostr is nostr tiktok where you could just scroll vlog after vlog
after V-log.
That's what people want.
Yeah, that's a good point.
I appreciate the boost fundamentals.
Fundamentals is going to be speaking
at the Canadian Bitcoin Conference,
which is coming up here pretty soon.
So that'd be pretty cool.
I don't think I'm going to make it to that one.
If you're there, make sure you check it out.
And
make sure you tell those Canadians
to start more Bitcoin podcasts.
I need more Canadian Bitcoin podcasts.
We need more Canadian Bitcoin podcasts
from people that don't work
for the Canadian government.
That's a big one.
We need a broader perspective.
Next one, Nostrigang101Sat
says Carhartt mandated the vaccine
during COVID.
Gay.
Did not know.
That's pretty disappointing.
Well, that might explain
the decline in quality of Carhartt gear.
when you have that type of mentality
as a corporation
it's going to have some negative consequences
it's kind of hard though
what companies didn't mandate the vaccine
during COVID
can you buy a computer
that didn't mandate the vaccine
from a company that didn't mandate
the vaccine can you buy a phone
from a company that didn't mandate the vaccine
there's very few companies
I mean the postal service
didn't mandate the vaccine.
That was pretty interesting.
I can't really think of any
really notable examples of
companies that didn't mandate
the vaccine.
I think that should be
like a
if you're a corporation
today and you didn't mandate the vaccine,
you should definitely flaunt that.
Having unvaccinated
employees is a
big deal.
yeah if you're a competitor at cracker barrel rise now is the right time to be like we didn't
mandate anybody get vaccinated to eat at you know denny's or shoney's or whatever the the
best competitor is i would definitely mention one waffle house yeah um next one is a thousand
and 10 sats from blizza haven't boosted in a while in fact i think we we probably mentioned
that we haven't heard from blizza in a while so it's nice to have you back blizza or at least
have you back boosin we missed you blizza got turkey 500 sats thank you turkey appreciate it
wow they just keep on rolling in we've got so many boosts on this episode
next one's from baba 1500 sats you've never played tennis with me i quit the high school
football team to join the tennis team i was good and i aimed at the body of my opponent
and i did connect i was a mind it was a mind game because i was uh i was slow sometimes my
racket flew across the court plus the ladies were fairly okay i can't count to 40 so i think
I can listen to four hours a week.
I can't count to four.
That's why I was the leader of the band.
You boys are okay in my book.
Now if I could learn to read.
Bubba, you know, I'm so glad we have you on Noster and in Fountain
because you were born to post with the Boomers on Facebook.
That reads like a Facebook comment or reply to like a local news story.
um you got a boomer posters spirit boomer posters heart but we love having you here instead because
you're way cooler than most the boomers i know i think baba is important for people's perspective
on boomers i think if it wasn't for baba we'd be about ready to round up the boomers and send
them to el salvador at this point oh yeah baba is like the the bulwark preventing that from happening
for sure yeah Bob was like the boomers that keep us from going crazy against them and like Dylan
McClare is the zoomer that keeps us from thinking the uh the broccoli air cuts are a lost cause
there's hope thank you Boba 1000 sats from boomer says great rip guys I like the idea of a rating
system for Bitcoin podcasts and I want to
volunteer for building this out
a few newbie
friendly podcasts are
This Week in Bitcoin
I've been seeing that one around more
they've been dominating found
and Bitcoin
and Bitcoin and is one of my favorites
High Signal
but you don't need
40 HPW to get them
there's a funny talker on YouTube running a channel
called
The Road to One Bitcoin
that's good for newbies too
I was checking out your merch store
for a PodCon t and I couldn find any I want to get one to rock the canadian bitcoin conference in october are they sold out keep fighting the good fight uh well boomer figured that out their podconf
has its own merch store podconf.xyz boomer had an issue buying the shirt because he's trying to do
liquid to lightning sometimes that's kind of funky with the exchange rate in these point of
sale systems uh but we got that all squared away i put him in touch with podconf got taken care of
but yeah boober's super excited to represent podconf at the uh canadian bitcoin conference
Yeah, Boomer, I haven't listened to Bitcoin for Millennials by Graham Canstein in a while.
Is that still, let me know.
I know you probably listened to that one, so let me know if that was still a good one.
Yeah, Boomer's great.
Boomer, again, he's up there with ties as the top listener in terms of hours per week.
Just an absolute animal, gets after it.
you know um
we still need podcasters don't work for the government
so
orange pool to your civilian friends
boomer
i like the idea of the
podcast rating system i think
it's a good idea like newbie friendly
expert intermediate
yeah for sure
maybe an iq section
yeah let us know what you guys think
what would be the perfect rating system how should fountain integrate that they've got more changes
to add to their list um do you have any closing thoughts richard enjoy time with your family
this weekend yeah labor day just don't don't ever underestimate the importance of that time
scares time flies don't live with regrets don't look back and regret you not taking
Don't waste an opportunity to grill out or just hang out with your grandma or your family members.
Getting called retarded by Shinobi on spaces for the hundredth time is you're just not going to be on your deathbed and wish you had more of those.
You're going to wish you spent just hanging out with the people closest to you.
So think about that before you get into another node to date on Twitter this week.
Absolutely.
Well, guys, thank you for listening to this edition of the Bugle Weekly, and we'll catch you next week.
Everyone's a prophet till the chart begins to bleed
You whisper to your ledger, hold the line, let it breathe
You chase the comet through the glare, got sunburned by the glare
Now every wick's a flare, you're still there
It's the dark days, paper thin haze
All these summer downhounds humming old cliches
If the moon's late, learn your own way
Dig a little deeper when the colors turn gray
Yeah, the dark days, paper thin haze
Every dip's a mirror asking what do you praise
When the hype fades, make your own way
Take off a little courage from the mess you've made
Treasuries and tickers turn your hope to lemonade
Yield becomes a siren when the ocean starts to fade
Friends who swore they'd stack with you are shopping all parades
You're counting out your blessings like they're dusty UTXOs in a tray
You learn to dance with risk and doubt, to breathe on the way down
To let the noise burn out, still you're around
It's the dark days, paper thin haze
All these summer jiles humming old cliches
If the moon's late, learn your own way
Dig a little deeper when the colors turn gray
Yeah, the dark days, paper thin haze
Every dip's a mirror asking what do you praise
When the hype fades, make your own way
Carve a little courage from the mess you made
There's a chapel in your backbone
Lit by honest work
Where you're tied in time and study
Not in leverage or in perks
Let the market write its fables
Let the pundits play their part
You can't outsource conviction
You've gotta smelt your heart
No white knight ETF
No miracle relief
Just a compass made of failure
Pointing to belief
When the summer turns to copper
And the signal's growing weak
You stack your tiny victories
And march them every week
Through the dark days, paper-thin haze
All these summer drawdowns forge a clearer gaze
If the moon's late, walk your own way
Dig a little deeper till the steel won't fray
In the dark days, paper-thin haze
Every sky's a roadmap out of old malaise
When the lights fade, find your own way
Build a harder rhythm, only you can play
So here's the tough love candlesticks
And promises you keep
The market isn't gentle
But your roots are growing deep
Paper summer breaks
And when the nights get long and blue
You hum the quiet anthem only written by you
The Mediaijk plenty is a place to find out with the support of the warden.
