The word pleb has been used far too long to denigrate individuals using Bitcoin.
The origin of the word came from Rome to refer to the common people or lower social class.
It was a term that continued to be used in Europe to refer to the non-nobility.
The plebs or plebeians were not landowners.
In modern slang, it refers to people who follow the crowd,
outsourcing all their thinking to the experts.
While the term has been affectionately adopted by many individuals
interested in Bitcoin as a way to signify that they were not bought by PodConf,
it does not accurately describe who we are.
The 40-hour-per-week podcast listener has been at the tip of the spear,
adopting this new technology.
We are builders who took tremendous risks to lay the foundation on which the future will be built on.
The early pioneers in the American West were individuals who either left Europe
or were ancestors of those who left Europe in order to settle the frontier.
Many were slaughtered in the process.
The ones that survived were the toughest, most determined individuals who were too stubborn to die.
Let me ask you, are you a pleb or are you a pioneer?
For years we have waded into the unknown,
experimenting with new wallets that have no documentation,
deploying miners in ways that no one had ever done before.
We have dived into command lines,
installed alternative operating systems,
and been at the forefront of going into the wilderness to settle it.
Some of us have lost more Bitcoin than we even own today.
We have blazed trails and through self-custody
have staked our claim on the Bitcoin blockchain itself.
A claim that we can pass down to our descendants.
Most of us have suffered in order to create a better future for our children.
The pioneers who settled the West embarked on journeys of adventure and danger
because they were not satisfied with their lot in life.
The modern orange-pilled pioneers have done the same.
we have faced being socially ostracized, labeled as fanatics.
Some have even attempted to mock and ridicule us.
We chose to continue forward because we had conviction,
not only in Bitcoin as a technology,
but in our own capabilities as individuals to think.
Going against the grain of society is either a mark of bravery or insanity.
What distinguishes the two is the outcome.
We were not insane, but we were right.
We are not a lower class.
So let me ask you again, are you a pleb or are you a pioneer?
Welcome to this edition of the Bugle Weekly.
This is Richard Greaser and folks.
Pleb is dead.
The reason why it's dead is because it was stupid from the offset.
The thing you have to understand about the term pleb,
pleb is like being European at the time of the founding of the United States.
So all these people came to the United States.
They were pilgrims.
They traveled across the ocean.
They were true pioneers of their time.
the story of the pioneers settling the west going into nature nature going into danger
exploring the unknown and in a hostile adversarial environment that is what we're doing as bitcoiners
we are not plebs we are pioneers we are the ones that are selling this feature we're the ones that
are demoing applications that are progressive web apps.
We are the ones that are learning how to use the Lightning Network
before there were tutorials made for it.
We are the ones that are battling in the trenches,
fighting the bad UX in order to be able to use this technology
so that one day all the other NPCs can do it themselves.
we're the ones trailblazing the way we are documenting uh this process we are documenting
it as bitcoin podcasters in no way are we plebs we are the pioneers changing the the future of the
world it's time to just ditch that word to ditch pleb you know who's a pleb the paper bitcoiners
paper bitcoiners are the pleb they are the ones that are refusing to go out into the future to
trailblaze the way for people they are actually actively going in the past it's like the people
that chose not to come to the new and explore the new world that stayed in europe that stayed
cucked what are your thoughts on this ron how you doing today i think i think it's very simple
once you recognize it and i think you're right the the new plaids are the paper bitcoiners
but there's a lot of people in between who they they come up to the edge of the frontier
and then they get nervous they start to think i can't handle the user experience roughness that i
think i can i'm getting comfortable i kind of thought i got a little bitcoin and i thought i
was you know cycle or two in i was going to be able to retire focus on podcasting full time
relax by the pool like deter bob um i just wanted to stay a pleb a rich pleb but it's not how it
works um we're pioneers now and if you have to if you have to say you know if you have to grieve
uh your your past pleb that pleb who has died so the pioneer could be born go ahead and grieve
it i wrote a song about that it's called the orange pill blues and the orange pill blues
it's you know he he gets to the point where he's like give me the the two blue pills i don't want
the red pill anymore i don't want the orange pill anymore give me two blue pills so it'll cure my
orange pill ills um but the moral of the story is you were pioneers and what that means now that
we're orange pilled we can't go back there's no going back there's no going back to being a status
cuck there's no going back to uh you know jab me harder daddy there's no going back to i just do
what the tv tells me to everything will be fine you know i can what the journalists on tv do the
thinking for me it'll be totally fine but that we can't go back to that we just can't it did it's
like it would it's like trying to go back in time it creates interference it's like a feedback loop
that you just can't get through but we're pioneers and what we what we are sent to do
is to blaze this user experience trail as far as we can.
So that just like now, BlackRock, Fidelity, Wall Street,
all these paper Bitcoiners come in behind us.
And that's where they start to build and kind of create this new strong economy.
And we're the ones that are out there making sure the economy will always be fine
and making sure we always have, we'll always be able to afford our taxes,
but there's no going back.
and we're pioneers now and pleb a pleb is somebody who is is stagnant you can't listen
to 40 hours per week and remain a pleb i guess is what i'm saying why why do people leave europe
to come to what is now known as the united states well because they for you know no cigarette taxes
grow tobacco be able to have that that kind of freedom they came here because they were tired
of being plebs they they could not own land the monarch owned the land they were tired of being
plebs so they travel across the ocean which was a dangerous experience in of itself it's not like
going on an airplane travel across the ocean it's a difficult process probably getting seasick the
whole time high chance of getting disease there's a high chance of death and then they settle in the
east coast and they're like wow there's this whole west that we can explore and we can travel to that
that's unsettled we can go and start anew we plan you know we plan our flag and we might struggle
but we're going to struggle for the future generations that our ancestors our children
can benefit from our struggle they can uh grow the civilization and prosper in this new world
in this new land but it takes it takes that commitment it takes that that change of mindset
to become a pioneer and it can but you you don't go from from pled to pioneer there's a middle
process there's a transformational process and that's being a pilgrim the plaids had to become
pilgrims who became pioneers and the pilgrim part is ironically the scariest part is
A lot of plebs know they want to be pioneers, but the pilgrim part, and fundamentals knows this, right?
He talked about it on Rock, Paper, Bitcoin.
It's convincing your family, convincing your wife, convincing your children, convincing your community or church to become a pioneer with you, to come with you on this journey.
and you know you just described like all the risks all the unknowns all of the hard work all of the
lack of uh pre-built user experience you have to start from scratch and it's very difficult
to get yourself to be able to accept that it's even more difficult to get your wife and your
family to become pilgrims and just go on that journey with you and they might not even make it
You guys might not even make it on the crossing, but you have to try because it's better to be a player.
But if you succeed, if you build that user experience and you build that new sovereign citadel, essentially, on the other side, once the conditions become good enough, you'll be able to bring paper Bitcoin in.
And the paper Bitcoin will attract the Jews.
And once the Jews come in, that's where you start to be able to have, you know, Jewish lawyers, Jewish accountants, good culture.
And, you know, like what we have is Hollywood, but the arts, you want to have the arts.
And once you start to build that culture, then you keep moving west.
And the further west you go, the more value you'll find.
But not everybody's going to be coming to Philadelphia, coming to Boston, and going to make it all the way to San Francisco, to California.
Yeah, it's an important distinguish.
How do you convince your wife to be a pilgrim?
How do you convince your wife who knows the pilgrim story that she's got to do that too with you?
We might have to go to a place where there is no target.
you might have to go to a place where
you know
there is no bed, bath and beyond
or bath and body works
there's no great user experience for women
this was a struggle that many men
had to deal with
in the settling of the United States
to convince their wives to move out of the city
where
there weren't these luxuries
that
they had to let go of
they had to let go of the safety
and travel into the unknown to face adversity.
Use beef tallow for their hair.
Yeah.
I mean, even to, like, if they were using beef tallow,
you know, you go out away from civilized, settled society
into the frontier.
If you're going to use beef tallow for your hair,
you're going to have to butcher that cow yourself
and extract the tallow yourself
because there's no butcher there for you.
you're doing it yourself it's a it's a it's a fully sovereign lifestyle that's you might you
might have to spend your days wrapping your husband you know rolling your husband cigarettes
is that something you're willing to do or maybe you know maybe you'll but you'll still the you and
your husband will have to roll cigarettes together your own cigarettes together if you want to smoke
and and if you are trading with other people it's going to be a little bit more difficult but
I think this is, you know, you're the pioneers of the digital world in many ways.
We're pioneering this digital money for the first time, as far as we know, in human existence, that this is happening.
And it's important.
It's important to understand.
But, yeah, there's a lot going on in the world, Rod.
it's been an interesting week it's been it's been an interesting year to say the least and i think
we're kind of getting accustomed for the last you know at least five years of just like mayhem
it seems like every day the the news cycle is you know journalists used to have to make up
sensational news stories now you just get to report on what actually is actually happening
There isn't as much creativity needed in order to captivate the audience.
You got Trump versus Elon, the fight.
So Elon called Trump a pedo.
The Maxis are upset about him.
They didn't like that he spent his blackmail tokens.
you've got uh jeffrey epstein uh being revealed to have invested in a hedge fund tied to peter
thiel and palantir while i don't know some crazy stuff you got the riots in la you got people uh
getting wound up and then you got the corminess for the versus the nazis it looks like
the corminess are going to be victorious uh it's a wild week it's been a wild week uh you know i i
have a feeling like it's not going to slow down like next week's going to be pretty wild as well
uh yeah i think what you what you right now is you're you're finding out that
the leaders the most powerful people are distracted with their own internal disagreements
um elon musk he's spending his his you know his blackmail tokens on trump this early in the
administration he's showing he was really upset about the budget the first real big deal that
came up in this administration and he didn't you know the the big beautiful bill doesn't pass
elon musk's purity tests um so instead of you know but he wasn't gonna he was him and tom and
matt thomas nasi and ray and paul they're not they're not voting for any bills that don't pass
their purity tests and this has been a a theme outside of politics everybody's failing purity
tests and people are ramping up the strictness of their their purity tests but but elon musk he
he duped it out and he blamed he said trump was a pedophile and that he was in the epstein files
he played his hand and trump just kind of decided hey like elon's out of the way i'm gonna go i'm
gonna go suppress the riots and if i'm gonna just just deploy the military into california
and distract everybody from this um so it it it all theater whether or not it was scripted it theater it kayfabe it they using riots in california think about it like what does everybody in america
love to see they love to see la burned they love to see los angeles they love to see california
burn so trump's letting california burn he's right ratcheting up the riots for the summer
and uh you know it's to distract you from something palantir i don't know elon musk i
don't know at steen i don't know but this is a pretty it's a pretty entertaining distraction
yeah it is interesting i find it strange that trump's so motivated to prevent to try and prevent
california from burning you know what i mean it's like those guys are always trying to burn down
the state this is the thing about the leftists is they're always trying to burn down everything
and i don't understand why uh why anybody wants to prevent him from doing it now it's a it was
that's what the democracy out there voted for they voted to burn to they voted to burn everything to
the ground yeah i mean it's what mike brock has been advocating for i don't know why he would be
upset when it's finally coming to fruition you know in his hometown he loves la a lot and uh
it's yeah you say it's a distraction so it sounds like this is the first time that the u.s military
is getting deployed uh at least on the books like you know they they do all sorts of funky stuff with
the military uh stateside all the time covertly but uh the first time publicly uh you know being
reported uh actively by journalists that uh they're going to be deploying it sounds like the
marines and in los angeles to go fight uh the blue hairs uh who do you think is going to win
the fight do you think the marines are gonna win or the blue hairs no no so so so if that is
probably what you think of when you think of what's happening right now but that's why it's
important as journalists to to follow these so closely like we do it's um the blue hairs are
the military now so the marines are lesbians non-binaries blue hairs and they're deploying
to southern california to fight uh the mexicans and the black people and that's you know that's
that's been a showdown this whole time so all the white people all the like hillbillies the hicks the
rednecks like the guys who you would probably call racist they're just they're just hanging out
gambling on meme coins and you know sports and it's the blue hairs versus the minorities now
I think that one of the most impressive things that has ever happened in the history of the United States is how the Biden administration was able to turn the military woke, especially the Marine Corps.
I mean, that's the ultimate prank, right?
He's like, you know that Donald Trump is coming in.
Or at least in their mind, they said Donald Trump's coming in.
He's going to take over.
He's going to be an authoritarian dictator.
who's going to execute project 2025 so how do we stop this well we we turn all of the military into
they're gay and retarded and then when trump takes over and has power his military is just a bunch of
gay retards just a bunch of woke gay retards he can't win you know he can't take over he can't
conquer with the gay retarded military so it's it's you know it was a it was brilliant foresight
honestly think about it if we're fighting if we're fighting the state i'd rather be going up against
gay retards than like the guy from you know shooter with uh mark walbert he's like a sniper
or chris kyle like no fuck that i'm going up against non-binary like woke people yeah i mean
it's just it's an impressive you know transition when you when you can change
a culture so quickly uh like very like long-standing culture so like the marines have always
and i have to preface i i have uh i have not i never served in the military
uh and my understanding of the military is not like firsthand it's secondhand of interacting
with a lot of veterans throughout the years uh reporting on the military quite a bit as journalists
uh my my understanding of the marine corps is the marine corps consists of the most retarded people
in the military that are also you know like take a pride in taking they take pride in
wanting to go kill people and also being politically incorrect so if they were they
don't listen to 40 hours per week of bitcoin podcasts like they don't even listen to any
bitcoin they wouldn't be there if they was the bitcoin podcast like it's like it's almost
sacrilegious not to call somebody a faggot in the marine corps or or to say the words gay or retard
and then for it to turn into a woke uh ecosystem in general you know it's just this i can't even
imagine what it would have been like to have they yeah they banned let's put it this way they banned
microaggressions from marine boot camp they can't even have microaggressions there so do you think
that you remember you you watched all these movies about marine corps boot camp like a full metal
jacket like it drives a guy crazy who kills his boot camp instructor that's not like that anymore
no it's it's it's more like the teachers from tiktok are the like the from lives of tiktok
are the ones that are leading the boot camp uh you know yeah he says it's crazy
The cadets in boot camp are dressing down their drill instructors for their white male privilege.
The tide has turned.
It's absolutely insane.
So, yeah, now the woke army is being directed at going and corralling the rowdy Mexicans and black people in L.A.
and uh it is going to be very very interesting but you know the trump administration you know
once again is trying to revert course and kind of uh turn this around like turn turn that like
make the marine corps uh retarded again and uh and based but i don't think he's had enough time
to accomplish that like that's going to be it's going to take a while to to revert back because
you can't just like fire everybody you know what i mean and start over uh yeah and the worst thing
about the marine corps and i talked to a buddy so they have you you have to address your drill
sergeant sir yes sir yes you know ma'am yes ma'am and they didn't add any pronouns because trump took
out the uh marine corps's ability to insert pronouns into those instructions for boot camp
so the marines that are coming out of there this is the only thing that's going for them
they're unable to to address their non-binary drill instructors properly they're misgendering
them every time they try to obey an order so they have to get they just get yelled at even further
for being for being misgendered and they come out of it it's like they have shell shock before they
even get out of boot camp they've been yelled at and screamed at and punished in boot camp so many
times that it broke their brains so this could make them more dangerous than the retards of
the past generation maybe we're underestimating them yeah well i i wouldn't necessarily call
what's happening in la a distraction i think i think it's it's more
i mean this the operating the media apparatus you you learn how these things work
so essentially the cia goes and these other groups go and they go drop a bunch of pallets
of cinder blocks or bricks in a city and then they deploy their assets and they're like hey
let's get rowdy start a riot start throwing them in so you've got you've got the cia fighting in
in this case, the Marines, and you've got the journalists there, you know, documenting it.
And the journalist's job is to go out there, you know, record what's happening in video,
make it as sensational as possible, and terrify the boomers.
Your job is to terrify, absolutely terrify the boomers.
The boomers need to be quaking in their shoes.
and then as you do that once the boomers are scared then you come up with a solution
which is to surveil everybody with palantir we need to surveil everybody with palantir
so that the cia agents don't start more riots it's an interesting thing to watch play out
over and over and over again and you know la is a good place to do this
la historically has had a lot of rowdy rowdiness now where do you think yeah right the this is i
mean the la the rodney team riots i mean that they burnt down a lot of a lot of of los angeles
during those riots but one thing that came out of a great name that came out of the 1992 riots
was the meme of the rooftop koreans the korean immigrants who uh lined the rooftops of like
their their parts of town with guys with guns sniper rifles and they were there to protect
like they were they were like kyle written houses planted all over their neighborhood to protect it
to protect the property protect their their sovereignty and you know this makes me think
of the core munis there's so much conflict right now it makes me think of the core munis versus
the nazis and i think that the nazis are becoming or they're kind of reaching the conclusion perhaps
that they need rooftop koreans to protect their nodes you you can't rely on core you can't rely
on the consensus making authority figures the centralized figures at least as they see them
to protect their nodes so they need rooftop they need a rooftop korean software to snipe all the
spam and maybe that could be a solution maybe that's the only solution interesting yeah i mean
it's not that hard to do this shit um so adam samaka came to an interesting conclusion is uh
like the rooftop koreans the state really doesn't like people like this they don't like that it's
why they they they tried to throw the book at kyle riddenhouse uh they don't like it when individuals
go out there and determine to to protect their own property it interferes with the operations
that are happening they don't like that at all uh and adam semica had a you know very interesting
idea which is that if you don't like the idea that core is merging the operaturn pr uh
they just don't update your node but you don't necessarily have to run not
and this is the thing that's so fascinating about like open source software you know my wife is
explaining it to me you could go on github and you could fork core and have literally everything
that you wanted in core except for that one thing and you can sit there as they they roll out updates
so like say there's some sort of update that they push because there was some sort of exploit that
was found and you could just merge that immediately into your your repo with the with all with your
very own implementation of core essentially uh and you could be your own on luke and not have to
to trust him and his weird parameters and whatever he's doing and it doesn't necessarily have to be
um you know following the the fear of bitcoin notes um it's and i know a lot of bitcoin
podcasters don't talk about this they don't talk about this uh you know i don't know why they don't
talk about this is probably because they don't understand it or they don't have a wife that like
mine that can explain it to them but there's there's so many ways out there that you could
be like the rooftop koreans and you can protect yourself you can be your own rooftop korean to
protect your note that's what people don't understand is there's nothing preventing you
from doing whatever you want to protect your note and to to limit the ordinals from in fact
your node and you don't have to trust core to do it i think this is like why everybody's like
freaking out like they want to trust bitcoin core it was they never thought they couldn't
trust bitcoin core i mean some of the ogs have been through this stuff before but there's so
many people that have come into bitcoin and been listening to podcasts for years who just didn't
realize that they couldn't trust the core devs they didn't realize the core devs should be allowed
to have sex they didn't know that there was even a question about the core devs having sex they
didn't know anything about these core devs and now there's all this drama and it's like i want
to trust bitcoin core but i think i have to trust the nazis because at least they seem to be wanting
to protect my node from outsiders from invaders from fucking riots from fucking spam from all this
it's like no you don't need the nazis if you don't trust core you can be your own rooftop
korean you can go wherever you want to go totally there's more ways there's more ways to and this is
why 40 hours a week is it is important because you need the entropy to understand you listen to
one podcaster they're going to have opinion listen to another podcast like they completely have a
different opinion and you kind of work through this process in your brain where you're comparing
and contrasting what they're describing but then you have to listen to a third podcaster's get a
a completely different opinion you listen to all these opinions it's not about choosing
which opinion to follow it's about choosing your own opinion uh based on you know a wide assortment
of information and maybe maybe the bitcoin podcaster doesn't explain everything to you
and spoon feed it to you but maybe they prompt you in a direction that you can actually go and
explore it yourself and instead of just like listening to what this guy thinks about it you
You end up on GitHub and you start looking at this stuff yourself.
But if the core dads, to turn this around, the core dads want to have that respect and authority.
And they want their, because you don't have to trust the experts.
But there are some more expert opinions than others.
They're going to have to do more than just sit back and rest on their credentials.
They're going to have to reach out and break bread with Justin Bessler.
You're going to have to reach out and break bread with Ocean and Mechanic and these influencers if they want these influencers to recommend core and say that they are worth, you know, respecting.
Justin Batchelor, I'm wondering, so like Justin Batchelor brought up a point.
So he talked about how the core devs are self-appointed.
I wonder, do you think it would be reasonable to do a tournament on Twitter similar to Maxi Madness as far as who the Cordovs should be and have a rotating or yearly competition in order to determine that?
Would that be an effective way to make it more democratic?
Should Teddy Bitcoins be a Cordov?
Yeah, is there any?
This is an O, anybody can anoint them or appoint themselves to be a core dev.
Some people think that they have to know how to code if they want to appoint themselves to being a core dev that is a misconception shinobi is a good example of that um but some most people don have the
confidence to appoint themselves to be a core dev they have imposter syndrome so they
they are projecting this uh this sense of superiority or this arrogance or this elite
elitism onto the core dads but you know that is if it's fair it doesn't the world's not fair
perception is reality so these core dads they have to they have to do a better job of of of
showing people or you just have to to learn to become a core dad yourself but otherwise it's
the can't really arm clown he's helping people become core dads but there's just no easy solution
for this for breaking this conflict i would say from that perspective i think i think one of the
things that's limiting people from going out there and becoming core devs is the term pleb people
consider themselves plebs they don't see themselves yet as pioneers and i think this change as a
pioneer you're already wading into the unknown you're wading into danger dangerous places and
and facing your fears head on.
You're not sitting as a peasant,
trusting your lords to take care of you
and protect you for you,
like when you're a pleb.
And in this case, there's the plebs
and then there's the influencers and the podcasters.
And the podcasters in many ways are like the lords,
protecting the plebs.
As a pioneer, you can go on GitHub
and you can join the mailing list
and you can it the barrier to entry to say ak or knack to comment that is incredibly low like
i think i could even figure that out without my wife's help how to get on github and say ak or knack
and then you're you're you're part of the discussion you're not necessarily a core dev
at this point but you could learn to be you go take lessons from heavily armed clown he'll teach
you how to code him rust yeah what did the what did luke say about rust recently he said said that
it's woke what are your thoughts on that is is rust woke the rust community is woke i don't know
if that makes rust woke that's a really good question it is it's used by woke people it's
liked by woke people it is maintained and uh it is to where its progress is driven by
a lot of woke people so you know rust itself is is a programming language it can't be woke
but the argument that it's being crewed it's it's being groomed by woke people by woke programmers
that would be a fair assessment yeah rust is being groomed by woke programmers so so what's
the based language is it go is it c plus plus or is it um i'm not a developer i don't i don't know
the base the base computer programming language is javascript um you know javascript is
it is almost anybody can use javascript it's it's a very blue collar um programming language
it is it's taught but it's it's moderate because it's tolerant to it it's not uh well if you want
to be the abuse typescript javascript if you're super based because typescript allows you to uh
have strongly typed variables so you can say if this variable can either be a male or a female
there is no non-binary in javascript you can't have non-binary variables um so but yeah typescript
i guess it's typescript for sure so it's typescript versus rust and those are your two choices if you
want to build a company if you want to build on bitcoin if you want or anything layer two and
above you got to use typescript javascript or rust so you better be woker based and that's i mean
that might change in the future but it hasn't changed in a long time so we'll see that makes
sense i think discord is uh primarily run off of javascript correct it wouldn't surprise me yeah i
mean most almost everything like even the most compliant uh secure or at least something that
you would consider compliant secure especially is built on javascript now that we at some level
most of the apps on your phone are built with um some sort of javascript so like zeus wallet
is primarily javascript that's how they do their cool graphics in it
yeah zeus wall would be impossible without javascript interesting so like some people
want to use the uh like how you're a clown he wants or he thinks he doesn't just design what
he wants he thinks that bitcoin core will be um using rust it'll be rust bitcoin within five to
ten years so heavily arm clause is saying he thinks bitcoin will be woke in five to ten years
that's all we've got so if you want something other than core you've got a fork now not i don't
mean fork consensus i just mean fork we need to balkanize bitcoin clients we need i think i said
this yesterday read a fed client for for i think it's coming for the u.s government official node
because if you know you're interacting with a fed client if it at least identifies itself
it gives you a little bit uh you say all right i'm dealing with a fed right now you could have
you know the most compliant node you could have knots you could have you have your own
version of a of a woke bitcoin client you could have a javascript bitcoin client that would be
like a based bitcoin client you have anything you have tython you have java you could have c you
know bitcoin core c++ so you could do one on c sharp you do any pearl php honestly the the only
limiting factor is people's creativity i don't believe there's a javascript bitcoin implementation
yet i think uh no yeah you might be right i looked this up recently i was looking at all
the different implementations that's where i i learned that there was a rust bitcoin
implementation and that kind of surprised me so there is a woke bitcoin node implementation out
there uh i think the majority of them are written in c++ uh yeah like i think libra relay is c++ as
well um but yeah anyways so uh on the front of the battle between the kormenish and the nazis
It seemed like the Nazis made some progress throughout the conference.
I left believing that CORE was not going to merge the PR.
But then learning this week, they likely will.
It sounds like they are looking to do that next week.
Is that correct, Rod?
Oh, I think the people I spoke with said one to two weeks.
I don't know about next week, but yeah, before the 4th of July, for sure.
I think one thing that's incredibly important is when you're looking at a future date and you're giving somebody a timeline, you can never say two weeks.
And the reason why is because they ruined that during COVID.
They said two weeks to flatten the curve, and that two weeks turned into two years.
that's just a you can't do that so it either has to be one week 1.5 weeks or you could three weeks
or you could if you want to say two weeks you can't say two weeks you can either be gay
and say fortnight or you could say 2 000 blocks yeah that's a good point use time yeah there's a
time chain reference so at some point in the next 2 000 blocks you should start uh you should see
that merge the next difficulty adjustment exactly uh yeah yeah exactly um but a lot of the solutions
a lot of things we talked about uh in turn and how to frame and think about the perspective
of this conflict is very low time preference stuff high time preference speaking do you think
that there's going to be you know we're seeing protests in los angeles over uh these ice raids
do you think we're going to see protests like this in the bitcoin space from sees from people
who don't know how to code and don't think they have enough time to code which they don't probably
most of them before this gets merged um what do you think is going to happen is this going to be
a bitter battle or is it just going to go quietly i think it's going to be a bitter battle there's a
lot of talk on twitter about fighting uh like fist fighting not just not just twitter fighting
not just going into the twitter spaces and calling each other retards like uh a fist fighting and i
i think that could be a reality um and uh that's something that you know oftentimes happens when
uh you know people feel like their religion is being threatened as they they throw down and
we very well could see uh things escalate conferences could be you know significantly
more contentious uh times when people are meeting together i would i would not i would not be
surprised because these nazis are really they've really taken the the stand that they do not want
their nodes raped and yeah i think that that's not yeah it's not hyperbole to them they see jpegs
on their node actually as rape and this is i think that you're you're very correct on the
possibility or the inertia going towards there being some sort of physical consequences physical
violence as a result of this you know debate about bitcoin core clients and things like that
in the code and the devs and you talked about like bitcoin trade asanoa goals already threatened
shinobi and it's only escalated from there and yeah there's this video series that came out a
few years ago uh and it included eric weinstein and he talks about the talks about this term
kayfabe and kayfabe is like this stratification of fiction and reality that blurs the lines
between fiction and reality in a by the time by the complexity that it that it the form it
ultimately takes and he it's it's why he calls he talks about this with the in the video talk
compares it to pro wrestling why uh politics has become pro wrestling and he uses a lot of good
examples and he talks about hayfabe emerges when when there is a an environment or a topic or a
community that is extremely important but very boring it's like bitcoin is such an extremely
important technology you know it's ultimately at when you boil it down to its basics is a pretty
boring thing to most people the majority of people um so to create excitement to create hype to help
it grow uh and to gain more attention you have to weave in these layers of fiction in reality
and scripting and you know shoots and and in fake shoots um similar to pro wrestling where there is
at any given moment everything the conversation the mood the subject is based on true reality
um it's very unclear what is real and what is fake and that is what's happening in the bitcoin
space and you're starting to see kayfabe on the timeline but when the kayfabe gets out of control
it can lead to real violence and it uses examples of like some of these professional uh wrestling
uh live events where people got really upset about the outcome of a match and like the kids
started rioting in the madison square garden and like people were literally uh injured like cops
were attacked there uh the performers were fighting with the crowd because it bleeds over
into real violence i think there's risk of that happening here i think somebody could be at a
at a bitcoin podcast or a bitcoin conference and they get punched in the nose and then they go on
they have to go on what Bitcoin did next the next week with a black eye.
And I think something like that could happen.
You could see black eyes on podcasts as a result of this conflict.
It's very real reality.
Yeah.
I think this is,
um,
this is just what results,
you know,
when people feel powerless.
And,
and I think this is,
you know,
who,
who seemed to appear to be some of the most like active and upset,
uh,
people when it comes to knots or sorry it comes to the opportune stuff it's the plebs well if
you're referring to yourself as a pleb and you think of yourself as a pleb of course you're
going to feel helpless because you're essentially telling yourself that you're too retarded
to own land you're self-limiting yourself you're fucking real estate on the digital manhattan
you're telling yourself you can't own digital real estate that you have to buy the paper bitcoin
that you have to buy MicroStrategy, you have to buy the ETFs.
It's not true.
You can own real estate on the base layer today.
You can be a landowner.
You can be a pioneer.
You can go settle the unknown.
And you don't have to feel powerless as a result of it.
You don't have to get into the situation of,
I need to punch Shinobi in the eye because he called me a retard.
You really punch Shinobi in the eye if he called you a retard
if he felt like he deserved it.
Why else would you punch him back?
Well, the reason why these guys are getting so upset about Shinobi calling them a retard is because they actually feel that way because they look at themselves as plebs and they're essentially telling themselves that they're retarded themselves.
That's why they're so upset.
If Shinobi called me a retard, I wouldn't care.
Shinobi doesn't fucking smoke cigarettes.
He vapes.
imagine having such a imagine having such a low self-esteem that you willingly join the nazis
and let somebody like luke dasher be your leader you say you say i need a leader i need somebody
to think for me and to be my bitcoin gatekeeper and i want to do it with the nazis and i want my
gatekeeper my leader to be luke dasher luke jr i imagine having such a low self-esteem i feel bad
for the nazis it's like nazi the nazi client is for helpless plebs and i would just hate to
be viewed as a helpless pleb by myself first and foremost it's like joining the hitler youth
voluntarily you don't have to do that you don't have to feel you don't have to feel hopeless you
don't have to call yourself a fucking pleb you can be a pioneer you can join this great endeavor
to settle this world to bring hyper bitcoinization by being a pioneer not being a passive player
trusting the lords the bitcoin podcasters to do a trusting trusting the king michael saylor
you know to rule rule the way there if and if you want your wife to get on board with being a
pilgrim show her what a husband pioneer is like before you make that journey before you get her
to go show her what a pioneer is like now show her she doesn't have to be married to a pleb anymore
she could be married to a pioneer and show her that where you going they don need dennis Porter to get corrections Maybe she be more on board with it Before we go into the filing booths I did want to say you know real quick I think one tactical mistake that much of the Bitcoin community has allowed to happen kind of like the anarchist community in general
is to allow Saifedean and Svetsky and these guys to parrot Hans-Hermann Hoppe
and discussing why monarchies are better than democracies
and how that's even a relevant discussion to have.
People left Europe because monarchies are gay.
They're fake and they're gay.
They retired to be in plebs.
They wanted to own land themselves.
they didn't want the kingdom in the land uh for them you know and rent it to the the lords and
then you know for the plebs to you know it's and it you know in many ways we're back at that kind
of like feudal society and i think maybe that's the reason why people you know they they get done
paying their property taxes and they're like yeah i'm a pleb i don't actually own this land i'm uh
seeding seeding it to or renting it from you know the lords being the county operators who then are
are essentially accountable you know to the king and in this case the king being in the king's court
being the president of the united states it's monarchies are gay they're fake and they're gay
people left this shit to get away from that in the same way you think cave's if yeah so if you
want to be gay uh you know continue to uh you know parrot these ideas by hoppa and uh by safe
a dean uh parody and hoppa uh let's shut it down yeah shut it down folks monarchies are gay
democracies are democracies are gay too but like monarchies are way gayer
oh everything everything is kyc in a monarchy so if you if you love kyc you love a monarchy
it's like it's like everything's paper bitcoin you know the king the king actually holds the keys
um and you might be living on that land but you don't know you you don't you don't have control
over it on the base the base chain you can't even hire a jewish lawyers help you if they try to take
your land and i'm not in a monarchy at least if you have a jewish lawyer you have a chance in a
democracy well i mean they they're you can have jewish lawyers and uh i get what you're saying
yeah well like team doesn't listen to a jewish lawyer in a monarchy well there's no who's big
mouth if you don't want jews around though you might actually like a monarchy i think that would
be a big mistake to one on what jews oh i agree i agree but i feel yeah yeah big mistake like
where who's gonna make the movies yeah you want to be stuck on importing netflix no thank you
You want the white women to be making the movies?
Are you fucking kidding me?
The HR to take over?
Absolutely not.
All right.
Found a boost.
First boost from late stage huddle.
I think his second tweet or his second boost is the one with the right spelling.
I think he was an error on the first one.
Late stage huddle.
A lot of these guys double boost every week.
Cause it's a function.
I wonder if it's like found splitting it or something like double sends it,
but either way,
the boosts are appreciated.
Uh,

Hodel.
We like meeting our podcast listeners.

these guys it is a gift it's an incredible gift to hang out with our podcast listeners are very
very special people our our podcast listeners are gifted 100 they're incredibly gifted yeah
man they are gifted listeners i i love every single one of you so far um late stage i'm gonna
freak out when i meet lead stage huddle i'm gonna freak out when i meet uh goomba uh a lot of these
guys that yeah we're gonna have a good time hopefully hopefully it happens someday it doesn't
necessarily have to happen at the at the the big conference uh but you know it'd be cool to meet
people at our events that we plan on doing in the future around the country thank you for the
latest stage huddle the next boost is from dave for the hpw he boosted 4200 sats name your most
valuable pleb of the pod conf super bowl easy easy adam seneca adam seneca is not a fucking pleb he's
a pioneer he is out there he's building a lightning wallet right now he is one of the first people to
do a bitcoin transaction in a steak and shake restaurant he is on the front lines um he is the
most valuable pioneer there thank you we're not doing most valuable plan he is the most valuable
pioneer adam simeca is the uh epitome of a pled to pioneer transformation 100 he's been he's in
maxi madness next year if he keeps up this pioneering experience let's talk about who the
most viable or valuable pleb is do you think so there's a few that we could pick from there's like
peter schiff peter schiff's a pleb fucking retard uh peter schiff's the most valuable pedophile
not play oh okay so he gets removed from the list who else there's green candle green candles a pleb
there's uh i like i like green teddy bitcoins he's a pleb he's a micro strategy shill
there's uh he wasn't at the conference though uh sailor sailor's a pleb until it's proven that he
actually custodies his own personal keys his gay fiat company joey joey joey from the canadian
bitcoin podcast he's a good pleb he doesn't run a node yeah very plevy oh we got to hang out with
Shane, Shane, Shane, Shane on you.
He doesn't, uh, he, he doesn't have a hardware wallet.
He's a great club.
Solo Satoshi.
Solo Satoshi is a club.
He's like, oh yeah, he's like, he, he's like the, the, you don't like those pictures of,
um, Jay Vance or of like the, like the really jolly Santa Claus around.
He's like, he's jolly max.
He's got this big old bright red cheeks.
That's solo Satoshi, man.
He's got that, that jolly maxing pleb.
He's a power.
Yeah.
Power.
Dude.
I think literally, literally, I think that solo Satoshi is a good candidate for most valuable
pleb.
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
He's decentralizing the network.
If he, it decentralizing the network is listen, that's a perfect.
example because running a bid axe is a thing for plebs not pioneers pioneers don't run bid axes
pioneers don't waste your time with bid axes but if you want to be uh you know a plant who
does bid axes he wants to decentralize the network and just feel good about yourself despite
contributing nothing yeah it's a play move you know so let's tell she's your leader yeah he he
I don't think you were at his panel, but I was at his panel and I didn't listen to a minute of it,
but I saw him on stage. And just from seeing him on stage, it was electric. You could feel
the decentralization there. It was palpable. I felt so inspired. I took a picture of him.
It was, yeah. Solo Satoshi wins most valuable pleb of the conference, in my opinion. Well,
Thank you for the boost, Dave.
Sean for 4,000 sets says,
Rod Palmer, bring the old voice back.
The people spoke and I stopped going to my professional podcast classes.
I think we're going to see some volatility in your voice going forward.
Probably, probably.
But for now, do the people what they want.
I guess so.
I'm not kidding.
The next one is 1,010 sets from Blizza.
gay feds everywhere these days tell me about it man eric gay feds everywhere we orange build a lot
of gay feds sad to say and listen i think a lot of those gay feds are there are a lot of these crazy
esoteric bitcoin and spaces related group chats cat fighting with each other and catfishing each
other stay away from jfads so i have to say i'm the gay fed matter at least this week i'm sick
of talking about gay feds yeah i'm pretty tired of it too it's uh just call if you see somebody
that's this gay fed just call them a pleb yeah plebs day feds love calling themselves plebs so
when you hear that run yeah oh next boost 500 cents from turkey
and then we got btc on board 300 stats thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up thank you btc on board uh
and i'll get i think the last two are from pies it looks like so 100 stats for pies i look forward
to it hopefully it's a weekend i don't go out on school nights uh we talked about going to the east
ghost yeah i don't know i mean i was talking um with jeremy about when to run the event uh that
we're thinking about doing and i was kind of thinking friday night would be it's hard it's
hard you know because like i'm like the busy nights it's harder to get a venue uh but i understand how
traveling on a week night might be difficult to do yeah it's yeah more to come more to come on that
So, uh, I think we should take pies feedback on this one very seriously though.
Uh, cause pies, we want you there.
There we don't.
Yeah.
No, yeah.
Pioneers, pioneers are tired on weeknights.
I get it.
Uh, pie is the pioneer.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
Strive to be like pies.
Well, all right.
Well, no, it's been a crazy week folks.
And I anticipate the next week to go crazy at all, or sorry, to continue to be crazy.
I just said a nonsensical sentence because I'm distracted.
But yeah, we're going to be here with you through this next crazy week and the weeks going forward.
Tune in to the Beagle News for the most thermodynamically sound news in the world.
Thank you for listening to this episode and we will catch you on the next one.
to control the population.
What results is destructive economic stagnation.
The market demands formed demanding freedom and prosperity.
An anonymous super coder flexed his dexterity.
When people use Bitcoin, they undermine the system.
When they submit KYC, they still resist them.
Thermodynamics cannot be tucked
An idea whose time has come will not be stopped
When Satoshi looks down at us he would be proud
We all have fun staying poor at the knock corners in the crowd
There is this disurveillance of KYC and compliance
This is cypher-bump culture with the foundation of compliance
How can you argue this is not mass adoption?
When politicians say that edgy you is the only option
Walking through TSA to hear your favorite podcaster
A strategic reserve of stolen funds says the political master
When compliance becomes defiance, are we missing the point?
Submitting to their authority in a security checkpoint
Satoshi envisioned PodConf controlling the narrative
Or did he believe that defiance was an imperative?
When people use Bitcoin, they undermine the system
When they submit KYC, they still resist them
Thermodynamics cannot be topped
An idea whose time has come will not be stopped
When Satoshi looks down at us he would be proud
We all have fun staying poor at the norm corners in the crowd
Resisting surveillance with KYC and compliance
This is a cypher-bunk culture with the foundation of compliance
When Satoshi set out, he wanted more Bitcoin podcasts
And influencers shilling products to the beaten and downcast
When he looks down at us from above, there is a tear in his eye
Satoshi is proud that the Bitcoin community is so alive
