Thank you.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you and welcome to my incredible new show,
Timmy Tether tonight. I'm your host, Timmy Tether. Let me just start out by saying how
happy I am to be back in the studio and most importantly, back on Bitcoin Podcasts. I can
only hope you missed me as much as I've missed you. Summer's almost over and what a summer it's
been they're calling it paper bitcoin summer that's right the summer has been all about bitcoin
treasury companies and bitcoin podcasters paper bitcoin summer sounds great for podcasters and
suit coiners but if you ask me buying paper bitcoin sounds like something for guys with
wives who have boyfriends speaking of summer ending that means it's parents favorite time
of the year that's right it's back to school season el salvador just announced the popular
haircut called the Edgar is banned in public schools beginning this school year.
For those of you who are unaware, the Edgar is the broccoli haircut for Zoomers in the global south.
El Salvador's president posted on social media and said with Zoomers in the country all going
back to school that they will have plenty of open space in their prisons in case President
Donald Trump needs to ship America's rowdy broccoli haircut Zoomers out of the country
to teach them a lesson.
Finally, has everyone heard about this mysterious cobbler?
David Bailey is apparently spending a cool quarter million of investor cash on
for his new paper Bitcoin podcast team.
Apparently, the new public company, Nakamoto, hired a full-time private cobbler
for one of the company's vice presidents, Wright, Stephen Lubka.
Lubka is famous for walking more than Moses in the wilderness
after being denied entry into the promised land.
We don't know much about this Nakamoto cobbler just yet,
But if he's working on Lubka's shoes, I hope he's a Jewish cobbler because I hear those are the best cobblers.
All right.
We've got a fantastic Bitcoin podcast for you coming up next.
So stay tuned.
You don't want to miss it.
I'm Timmy Tether.
Thank you for tuning in to Timmy Tether tonight.
We'll see you again very soon.
September is coming folks.
The money printer is coming.
Jerome Powell is about to inject so much liquidity
into the money system.
Bitcoin is going to be ripping.
You guys that think that this dip isn't a buying opportunity,
that we're not ripping to the moon,
that paper Bitcoin summer isn't going to turn into paper Bitcoin fall,
are just naive.
And this is one of the consequences of not listening to enough Bitcoin podcasts.
is naivety and bearishness.
The whole world will be Bitcoin podcast listeners eventually.
It's not time to be bearish.
I'm seeing this really, really strange behavior right now.
Every bull market up until this point,
Bitcoiners universally had a good time.
Unless you were getting arrested by the feds
thrown in a prison you're having a good time in the bull market but this bull market
people are grouchy they're treating it like it's a bear market they accept the only difference
between this and other bear markets they're they're getting the fighting part down as yellow
says there's there's things that you do in a bear market you build and you fight what's the third one
podcast well i don't know if yellow said podcast i mean that's that's probably
i mean i think that's that's sound advice but yeah you uh maybe mean but people are not building
some people are building but the grouchiest people amongst us are not building right now
they're not podcasting mr hoddle for example he's going on twitter spaces he's arguing with tomer
about nothing.
Neither of them understand
what they're arguing about.
And he's fading Bitcoin podcast.
Planet Earth's fading Bitcoin podcast.
He's not building anything.
It's
Mr. Hottle's stoned all the time too.
It's, I mean, every morning
you get up and you're on your way to work
and you have to listen to Tomer and Mr.
Hottle stoned out of their
goddamn minds at nine o'clock in the morning
because they're whales they've been in bitcoin forever uh they are just sitting around
waiting for another bitcoin podcast to come out waiting for another spaces to start waiting for
another drama like my everybody i'm just letting these like you know dieter he's another one just
sits by his pool all day getting stoned um and he's just they're grumpy and but we're not
you keep talking about you kind of talk about this low mood but that's what i've been talking
about all summer it's paper bitcoin summer if the all the all the good times all the parties
all the optimism it went off chain and now it is in bitcoin mean stocks it's a paper bitcoin
because it's just more fun there's less responsibility and the people who have been
in here for a few cycles um who are not in paper bitcoin who might be just retired you know whatever
um if you're not happy it means that you haven't taken sovereign control over your life and built
like the bitcoin todd test lifestyle uh that you kind of dreamed of but you were so excited about
in your first cycle um but that's that you know don't don't try to bring down the people who uh
the people who have taken charge and are doing what they're proud of
it's not just uh paper bitcoin though it's it's things like the mesh del as well there's a lot of
people that are are having a really good time but it's just not the general uh twitter population of
grumpy arguers and
reply guys.
Right. Yeah.
It is. A lot of people
they will
they just
are always looking for something to be
grumpy about. Right. It's like
you got your lim-tard
aunt or uncle
and they just everything's going
well but they're just so
they got Trump's deranged in its syndrome
and they're just so grumpy about Trump
and it's all they want to talk about at the barbecue summer they don't even want to go to
fourth of july and see fireworks because trump makes them grumpy and then you got like like the
dude like your your college cousin who is failing out of gender studies class and at university and
everything's the jews fault it's all israel's fault they're out there all these protests and
they got trump derangement syndrome they got uh israel derangement syndrome and you know they're
It's just, no matter how great things are, they're still growing.
The same thing with Bitcoiners, right?
Like people, all-time highs.
I mean, we had the fit today, but the all-time high was like a week ago.
And it's still a strong macro environment.
Paper Bitcoin summary is holding the line.
And they want to be grumpy about something.
They got spam deranged.
And that's like, how can I be bullish when at any moment somebody might,
They're not even getting spam, but at any moment, there might be spam.
Some people don't want to die for Israel.
Some people don't want to relay other people's spam.
It's like this hill they're drawing.
They have so many other problems.
There's just so many other things to be positive about.
And stop looking for reasons to be grumpy.
Because you'll find them if you look.
yeah i think we need to recalibrate where the grumpiness is being directed at and one of the
logical places directed at is fiat money and fiat authority this is this is the things that
that a lot of bitcoiners from different perspectives and
and value sets have come together in the past is is realizing that it's it's those things instead
of the jews or you know because there's some pretty gnarly jews out there uh a gnarly jew got
interviewed or at least the transcripts and and did you listen to the glane maxwell fed podcast at
i didn't listen to it but i saw some uh pretty controversial have lines i i listened to a little
bit she doesn't have the best podcasting voice she's got one of those stupid british accents
and she didn't really say anything that interesting she said a lot of stuff that
sounded like she was trying to get a pardon and i think it would be fair to
say that none of the information that she presented was admissible because she was
speaking under duress
so but yeah i mean there's some gnarly jews out there uh which i think you have to you know
admit but there's some pretty good Jews out there too and there there's there's tons of things to be
grumpy about but it's just you have a finite amount of grumpiness so just choose carefully
where to direct it at and just ask yourself before you
get too grumpy and you you act out based on that grumpiness ask yourself what are the consequences
are is it a good use of resources or could it be directed towards something else because
there's people like you look at you look at carl for example carl is grumpy but he's directing
at his grumpiness he posted a really good and interesting vlog on nostor of his homestead like
that's how he's channeling his grumpiness is he's feeding his chickens
and is that a good use of grumpiness or compared to what pletitor is doing
which is going after simply bitcoin and btc sessions for sharing the same reflinks what's
a better productive use of your time should you be spending time on twitter arguing or should you
be podcasting should you be trying to cancel rob and becca for laughing or not becca wasn't even
laughing becca has no idea what's going on but should you be canceling them or should you be
building something and trying to cancel
Jerome Powell and the
central banky cartel.
What?
I'll leave it up to you. Just think about it.
Think about it a little bit.
Yeah, I don't
I don't want to tell you how to be grumpy
or what to do with your time.
But I would say think about
the podcast regimen the algorithm the the so the part of the social graph of bitcoin's social uh
you know gossip network where do you fall on that because it's similar to you like right now
it's like a it's low consensus right but there's a lot of disagreement about uh bitcoin policy
uh node policy uh political policy in the uh you know the broader uh culture uh you've got
disagreements internationally there's war it is not a time of high consensus and as a time and
it's hard to know what perspective uh or what side you know or what to think or
what is most beneficial to um to kind of pattern and trying to try to model and what to think about
how to learn and how to process things uh similar to like you know education it we used to have
these institutions and people are now paying a lot of money to go to these prestigious institutions
they are expecting them to to teach them skills and help them navigate reality um you know that
you think they're gonna learn how to code or think you learn engineering learn all learn the stem
and they get there and it's just like this divisive pseudo science uh and it just boil it
it just it gets into like just pure nonsense and zealotry and uh charlatans the professors
or charlatans and it's no different in bitcoin i mean the bitcoin's university you have professors
like matthew kratk people sign up for bitcoin university thinking that they were going to learn
how to use a hardware wallet and they were learning the difference between uh uh bitcoin's
original signatures team and store signatures and they thought they were going to learn about
how ordinals work and how to run their notes and instead they're just constantly hit with um
Matthew Cratter videos about
you know
these religious battles
for Bitcoin and who should
be called retarded and who is a
badass it's like
just teach me how to use the protocol
brother
so you've got to be cognizant of what
you're consuming in Bitcoin podcast
because if you're not
listening to 40 hours
and gaining new perspectives
and learning about things that
help you improve and grow in life
and you're just bickering
and listening to divisive stuff,
that might make you grumpy too.
So you got to consider that.
You don't want to,
what you consume is how you might ultimately
might be your outlook.
I think it's worth consuming a lot of the content,
but like the reason for 40 hours
is that you have the context
necessary to be understand to be able to understand the content that you're consuming like
it's you need to broaden your horizons you need to hear a lot of different opinions about things
you need to actually uh research things and and verify things to inform your opinion on it so that
you realize when you're listening to matthew cratter that he's just a grumpy gay fat and
I listened to Massey Cratter this week
he's funny he was
insinuating that I was a bad actor
because I was on stage
listening to Portland HODL
and
it was just
it's funny to listen to those guys
it's pure entertainment but you know
you're hearing
what a lot of people are thinking
and hearing their perspective
which I think is
valuable
in of itself to get that i'm never going to tell anybody to never listen to anybody's bitcoin
podcast and that it's uh i would say you just but you have a scarce a limited amount of time
and it's being careful and deliberate about the podcast that uh can spit fill your 40 hours
and being intentional about how you construct your schedule is important but you made it you
brought up a good point um which made me think it's sometimes you do need to understand the
context and we need like a bitcoin rating like you know on tv comes up and says this is tv general
audience this is tv you know 13 and up this is for mature audiences only we need something like
that for bitcoin podcasts every podcast that comes out it's like hey is this uh am i
qualified to listen to this podcast and gain um the wreck with you know or is is it just
gonna make me grumpy or is it just gonna make me anxious or is it just gonna make me uh feel like i have to you know buy a new expensive product but i don need to
absolutely absolutely how would you how would you how would you structure such a rating scale like
what like think uh simply bitcoin like versus matthew kratzer or versus uh you know bitcoin
octech or versus the view like how would you rank those or how would you rate those
for a broader audience if you've never listened to a bitcoin podcast before and you come across
like what ranking should people be going for well i think the the most dangerous content to listen to
is the content that is geared towards the plebs so what is presented as the most watered down
simple explanation of bitcoin oftentimes is the most dangerous one for people with low context to
listen to uh i think a lot of us started out with what bitcoin did in the pump podcast like those were
our first podcast that's they they they cast the broadest net uh so i i think probably the
the best podcast to start with which are oftentimes hardest for the new participants to understand and
get into because they're like you know bitcoin podcasting is kind of like uh taste in the sense
of like you know if you're hooked on sugar you're gonna crave sugar and things that are sugary are
the best tasting things and like when individuals come into the bitcoin podcasting ecosystem for the
first time their taste is miscalibrated they're just used to consuming junk so they're going to
crave the junk and the stuff of higher quality isn't going to taste good but once you like detox
off the sugar and you start eating healthier you're going to crave healthy food and the
The junk just seems so much less attractive to you anymore.
Uh, but that's the key is like, you don't get to a healthier lifestyle unless you start
eating healthier.
So you have to start out eating food that you're not, you might not find as a tasty
to recalibrate your taste.
So I, I, I think the intellectual silk road and what we're building here is in this ecosystem,
in this network is one of the best places to to start and is the safest content but it's also
like the bugle you know we've often said i think you you came up with this rod is like this is the
podcast for the 40 hours per week listener a lot of people don't understand the context of what
we're talking about unless they first listen to 40 hours so this is definitely not a beginner's
podcast this would be i i think you'd probably do the scale based on
like one to 40 you know what i mean depending on like how many context hours you need
and so we would probably be in a similar category according to your rating scale as far as
a lot of the pleb podcasts are as far as the context needed like you you need a lot of contacts
listening to the pleb podcasts that are showing you all these products as you do to just understand
the basics of what we're talking about i think like the safest ones probably to start with is uh
go listen to stuff that like pleb chain's doing and the stuff that uh ungovernable misfits is doing
those are because you're going to get a lot of you know good information from them
yeah i think uh honestly where i'm most concerned well not most concerned about but i think it's
important is we need to have labels like not nsff not safe for feds because there's a lot of
bitcoin podcasts that are not safe for feds it's going to be very offensive to them they're going
to be very um likely to have an emotional reactionary response to what people are talking
about and what they're saying and a fence shouldn't you know if you mention the government
like the you know the nsa and the cia their policy dictates that they have to listen so it's like
that it's an easy way to get listeners right we've joked about that before if you mention the cia or
the nsa or massad they have to listen to your podcast to trigger something in the palantir
systems um but also it's sometimes feds get orange belt too and if you go in straight
hearing you know people talking about it like maybe they need more fed friendly content uh
which is a lot of the podcast stuff yeah yeah podcast content almost universally is safe for
feds that's a that's a good point i thought somebody was telling me that we should uh put
labels or disclaimers on our podcast at the beginning i've done this before but it's not
safe for feds yeah there's a use of war in people that uh were non-compliant they might uh
might be offended by some of the content we were sponsored by pod comp
um i think a lot of people appreciated that maybe we should bring that back uh
yeah you know feds get offended by a lot of things they're they're typically pretty immature
they don't understand nuance all right matthew cratter's doing a good job of uh kind of uh
or what he's doing essentially is he's curating the the not safer feds comp content so if you
like there's a reason to listen to matthew cratter is if you want to understand all the
content that you could listen to that's not safe for feds like he's he's documenting it for sure
yeah so it's uh you know some people he kind of cuts it all up so it's like you don't want to
dive into the not safe for fed stuff maybe you don't want to get in trouble at work on your
computer maybe you just don't uh you can't get past the filters you can get kind of a
digest almost like a christian perspective on mtv i think my youth pastor used to have her it's
it's filtered for you through that this is not safe for fed content filtered by of you know some
of you were used to work for not palantir but uh peter teal uh which is which is matthew cratter
um speaking of you know it's easily offended it an unrelated you know easily offended group is
uh not it's like they i mean it's we're ignoring the elephant in the room if we don't bring up this
topic the knots the nazis versus the cornyness this battle is we got it would go away it's hotter
than ever shinobi was tweeting and arguing and calling people retarded on spaces and threads and
on twitter all weekend um people were plants their their comcast nodes were uh
in Chattery I mean from your perspective what's going on this weekend and and what's going on with
this this Nazi communist flare-up yeah I was actually in the I happen to be in the Twitter
space so I don't go on Twitter spaces very often because I'm too busy doing productive things like
podcasting but for whatever reason last week I felt like being in Twitter spaces I so happen to
be in the infamous one that everybody's arguing about uh which you know the framing of it's
really interesting so portland hodl came into the twitter space to explain that he had found an
exploit in knots nodes uh and then he what he was doing was he's presenting his pr so one of the
things that portland huddle really wants to do is he wants to be a knots developer so he submitted a
pr to the knots github repository and he was explaining it to a bunch of the core menace
including shinobi and you know rob hamilton and and so you know the knots people they they have
this problem which is they don't believe in a world of nuance and they don't do any research
and they oftentimes just kind of get sucked into uh clickbaity things and just settle for
you know simple understandings or simple explanations of complicated topics uh
and i think the the news is that portland huddle knots now has uh two developers
uh the way that the the story unfortunately has been spun is that uh portland huddle is
a bad actor uh so they're literally attacking their own developers essentially trying to make
their their node implementation better like that's that's really the story of what's going on here
so it's a case of um the the you know that there's this meme that the the right-wing culture warriors
had which is that the left always eats itself and it seems like the the nazis are suffering from
the same exact problem which is the nazis are are eating themselves that seems to be the story
this is the end this is this goes back to the lessons we learned 80 years ago in world war ii
the nazis different type of nazis back then but they were obsessed with purity
adolf hitler the aryan brother like they were just obsessed with purity they had jewish derangement
syndrome they refuse they just want this group a tighter and tighter extremist clique of people
who they thought they were better than everybody else um and the nazis today it's they are running
the same risk of like this uh what's the when you when you fast people who like to fast they
go into uh that stage where your tissues start to autophagy they start to consume themselves
and that's healthy in small doses but eventually if you don't eat you would starve that your body
would eat itself you would starve and die the same thing that happens with group chats with
bitcoin bot get with communities with these uh you know fringe node elements they're so they have
spam derangement syndrome and they're obsessed with purity tests but nobody who knows how to code
um passes their purity test none of the core devs pass their purity tests other than luke
um none of the nobody else who understands and has taken a javascript boot camp or
you know tried to learn python online on a tutorial maybe he's watched something for
BTC sessions and got it in their recommendations.
None of those April,
um,
passed the knots purity test.
Um,
so they,
they reject it.
And they,
if you,
if you want to be a successful movement,
if you want people to understand your point,
like you can't be so exclusive and you,
you have to understand that you have to get,
until you're independent,
you need help from dads.
You need to help from people who know how to cope.
You need to have a more diverse, you know, poll request developer repository.
Totally.
Yeah, I mean, they in many ways are following the Nazi playbook, which is you find a scapegoat to attack and then you have a savior from the scapegoat.
so annaf hitler was the scapegoat or sorry the the savior from the scapegoat the jews and
the gps yeah the scapegoat in this situation is yeah the gay people in the gypsy i you can't just
focus on uh that's a poor representation of history when you talk about just the jews uh
it's a problem with the jews controlling all the history textbooks is they they get a little bit
overzealous with uh representation of themselves but uh you've got the
in this case it's the core devs which are the scapegoat
the the purity problems with them is that they're having sex
nazis feel like devs you know if you read jimmy song's book programming bitcoin
you should still be able to have sex like that shouldn't be the line where the purity test is
drawn in my opinion there there there's reasonable expectations on how people should be having sex
mainly around the fact that it should be consensual and not with children i think
many many of these people that are lobbying these purity tests at core developers do not
share the same standards for their their ruling class which many of them voted for
in the last selection which is it's strange to me uh but yeah it's it's it's interesting i i
thought the corminess officially defeated the nazis but it seems like the nazis are
they're continuing to hang on and and fight this this war and yeah they just didn't realize they've
lost yet and a lot of the core devs they they've been reaching out all the branches they've been
trying to like like portland huddle they identified exploits vulnerabilities uh they've they've
patched them in core um or they found them you know was uh alone in knots and tried to patch
them for knots in the knots you know they just don't they don't accept help um i think that
it's it's okay to ask for help and it's it doesn't spam spam derangiveness syndrome is just is just
causing a grumpiness that in a in a retreat than it is it's not maybe your node has more resources
but you have isolated yourself and you're causing potential vulnerabilities for your node as well
yeah i i think that's about it on uh the whole corminus versus nas debate is that
that's all we got to talk about it but you know one of the things i'm interested in this week so
you know in the the world of politics political definitions are constantly changing uh donald
trump in many ways is like a 90s democrat and he is being labeled as far right
i think the thing i keep on posting about is that donald trump
appears to be trying to to look at or make obama look like a libertarian
do you think it'd be fair you know with the way that the the political overton window
has shifted what's acceptable today in regards to surveillance and and just general overt coercion
is obama technically a libertarian now when you look at him historically with what donald trump
is doing uh it's hard to say that the guy the first guy to drone strike an american zoomer
um is a libertarian i i it's i see the point that you're making at the scale and the magnitude
of uh the violation of a non-aggression principle by by donald trump but it's you know first guided
drone strike it's drones it's that's going to be the big problem right like how many people are
going to get killed by drones in the next 50 years the next 100 years hard to call a guy to kick that
off a libertarian yeah yeah i mean one of the one of the hard parts about calling obama libertarian
is that he actually won an election so that in and of itself is two two elections that's
two to us the amount of elections of libertarians have won well he he won he won a bunch more than
that or he won some before that because he was a senator too i don't remember how many senate
terms he had but yeah he uh i i'm just talking about the general framing if a libertarian ever
actually got elected hypothetically i think they would be drone bombing as well it's uh they like
this posture this is the thing about you know if you never win then you have perfect purity because everything that you believe and say that you would do is theoretical instead of actual Right right It similar
I mean, I don't want to bring it back to what we were just talking about.
But if you know what I'm talking about, if it's more important to you to be pure and be able to say, I told you so, and be able to look back and say, well, I had the right opinion back then.
um you know your way you're giving up is actually doing something about anything and and you know
furthering your own self-interest be being an independent individual who
leaves his model if you don't care about that and you just want to be able to you know say i told you
So that's the only reason that that's what would,
that's why I would be a libertarian,
but that's about it.
Yeah.
I mean,
you know,
there's,
there's lots of ways to waste time.
You can watch sports ball.
You can listen to Fiat podcasts like Lex Friedman.
You can watch bad movies that aren't produced by Jews.
Well,
I think,
I think libertarian is a great,
I think if you're a libertard and you don't want to be a libertard anymore,
I think instead of, if you're a libertarian, you can't go into the MAGA.
You can't just become MAGA.
You've got to ease your way in.
And I think if you think about it from the standpoint, instead of getting super angry and screaming and having a meltdown every time you see a cop arrest a black person or you see an ICE agent round up an immigrant, you can be libertarian and you can just say,
well, if everybody even believed where I believed, this wouldn't even be illegal.
So don't get mad at me about this.
Or if it's asking me, there would be no borders.
So don't get mad at me for this ICE raid.
It just gives you that ability to kind of feel like none of this is my fault.
None of the problems in my community are my fault.
Because if I was in charge, none of this would be a problem.
Well, there would still be a lot of problems.
you never mind you get what i'm saying right yeah well there's no utopian reality ever
i think is the the important lesson to take away if everybody followed if everybody followed your
purity test the world wouldn't be perfect yeah bitcoin bitcoin would not suddenly be
perfect scale like it wouldn't be everything everybody wants it to be just because everybody
ran knots and every and all the spam got filtered um and he should be a young i mean it's it's not
everything would be better if the government just opened grocery stores uh instead of letting you
know hyvee or fucking publics or meyer wherever your region it's sometimes you're gonna have to
go to a grocery store that you you don't like sometimes you're gonna have to deal with these
kind of things um the world's not gonna pass your purity test absolutely i've been hanging out on
a nostril a lot more i've been enjoying this have you done any vlogs yet i haven't done any vlogs
yet i was complaining about this today actually is you you check the notification tabs on primal
and it'll have you thinking you've gone viral right and then you go and look at the post you
got like three likes and a zap um and the ux here is is very misleading i'm i log in thinking i'm
like the most popular guy in austro it turns out like it's just the same two people uh you know
like it like in my memes which i appreciate those people but it's it's i wish there was more i wish
there was more interaction yeah i think you have to try harder on uh noster i've been getting a
decent amount of engagement the the interesting thing i i've been using primal in you know some
of my posts will get a bunch of reactions but i don't think primal shows it i think like if you
use like amethyst or other things you can do like smiley face reactions but they don't count as likes
i've been i've been confused by the the mechanics of how this app works but i've been i've been
enjoyed it i've got a sometimes i get more engagement on nostr than i do on twitter which
has been fun but i've also been putting a lot more effort i've been vlogging pretty hard
i was inspired by marty bett i've been trying to peer pressure marty into getting better shoes
and uh you know one of one of the big memes or or things that you know you really shed light on
this week is uh nakamoto's cobbler was that last week i guess it's the last two weeks but uh
1031 needs a cobbler like desperately like marty needs better shoes he's walking around trying to
represent bitcoin he's got shitty shoes on i don't know how anybody any respectable person
like sure marty you've been podcasting a long time you got one of the biggest bitcoin podcasts
in the world the the plabs aren't as critical on your shoe attire as the people that like actually
pull power in the world and it's time to grow up be a little bit more pro professional and not wear
lame shoes.

Yeah, it's, you know, he's kind of had a rough summer.
dennis porter has but you still see him he's still wearing a suit in dennis porter
as a cobbler i think it's pretty obvious it's just sad to me that we have to keep drilling home
that every every bitcoin podcaster should take themselves as seriously as does porter takes
himself because we're important we are changing we're impacting the world we are broadcasting
signal and we are most importantly uh helping contribute to ngu and the bitcoin price uh
and hyper bitcoinization so just when you get to this level everything matters it's the deep
little details and i think that it's long pat bitcoin podcasters need cobblers i just got the
coolest twitter ad for carhartt you know carhartt's making sweatshirts yeah carhartt's got all kinds
of creek here carhartt is pioneer attire it's not as good as it used to be unfortunately carhartt is
facing a drop in quality i think that's been one of the
biggest bummers about carhartt but yeah they make some pretty cool
stuff still i would say oh yeah
the pioneers like their car hard gear that's for sure as they should well
bitcoin's dipping it pumped on the the news that pal was going to start printing theoretically
then it dipped this weekend we'll see if it keeps on dipping a lot of a lot of people are being
super gay and bearish saying that bitcoin topped for this cycle i see it as a great dip by an
opportunity all this goes back to what you're talking about uh it's a bull market bitcoin
dips in bull market bitcoin has plenty of dips in bull markets uh what's it gone down like a couple
come on like bitcoin gets 20 30 percent in bull markets everybody's gotten their knickers and
knots over a you know four percent that calm down like give me a break you act like you've been
there before a pioneer doesn't get uh doesn't piss his car heart uh you know pants just because
uh you know but whether a winter storm is coming no you act like you've been there before this is
what this is what you signed up for you signed up for volatility um so quit getting getting worried
about it before it even actually manifests 100 well you got any other topics before we go over
to the fountain booth no i think uh i think we covered a lot in a little in a short amount of
time this week yeah before we go into the fountain booth i do want to shout out our uh
our subscribers to our paid content.
So we got some,
we got some interviews coming out this week that I should have published at
some point.
We got Rod Palmer's a job interview.
We've got Maggie Morris and Rod Palmer,
or sorry,
not Rob Palmer Mars spits bars talking about their fed article that they did.
Those are going to be two great listens,
but we've got turkey jason c shadrack south side dave open mic and avi burrah subscribe so big
thank you to those guys a lot more cigarette money flowing in really appreciate it we we hope to you
know pay you back with with great content behind the scenes that you can unlock but um early
adopters early adopters always always benefit totally well the first boost sean 4 000 sats
let me just make sure these are ordered correctly it looks like they're not ordered correctly
uh i don't know why found does this all right first boost sean 4 000 sats says purity test
graded on a curve 100 100 emoji yeah how how should the grading curve be defined
that's the thing about purity tests everybody's got their own everybody grades it on their own
curve uh based on you know who their favorite influencers are who their podcasts are you know
it's it's impossible to know it's why it's so hard to pass purity tests it's always easier you know
if you make friends with the people issuing purity tests i guess that's the grading curve they're
gonna be easier on you one thing we know about purity tests is they they definitely are not
nobody's equal under the law in the united states or anywhere in the world in the same way nobody's
equal under purity tests boom next one is from uh the two angry cunts podcast 2222 sats two angry
concept podcast that is
Bubba and
I feel
I feel bad I've been listening to their
podcast I don't I don't remember
the kind of name
she's great super
based super based
she said
thanks for the shout out fellas much
appreciated by Bubba and myself
stay sarcastic and remember
all dudes are based
um
I don't
I don't think I'm being too sarcastic, but I'm glad that you enjoy the content.
And I agree.
All boobs are based.
I'm a big fan of boobs.
There was this big controversy about whether Amy Klobuchar said that what's-her-face had perfect boobs or not.
Sidney Sweeney.
Yeah, it was interesting.
uh they you know the democrats right now they consider uh sydney sweeney fascist they consider
big boobs fascist and they didn't like that amy klobuchar was uh appreciating fascist boobs
that's again that's like what we said earlier people are just looking for reasons to be grumpy
and if you're grumpy about sydney sweeney's boobs that is a choice i'm sorry
I think part of the reason why they're grumpy about Sidney Sweeney's boobs is they feel like they're taking, she's taking the spotlight away from the big booty Latinos right now.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Who am I, who am I kidding?
Well, thank you for that boost.
Turkey, 500 sats.
Appreciate it, Turkey.
Thank you again for subscribing to us.
next one is from the next two are from pies both 121 sats first one i feel like listening to
podcasts of 1.0 is pussy shit kind of like men who think tennis and golf are real sports
um well a lot of rumors they're not going to like that one uh and deter bob if he listens he's
i think he loves tennis um but you know i don't think pies would consider deter bob a man
um the other one that's one for pies is i slowed down the speed so i can absorb as much high signal
pleb talk as possible super weird listening at 1.0 speed interesting i know i wonder what
podcast he was listening to to hear high signal pleb talk because uh it's not ours
yeah the the speeding up podcast is actually a pretty good hack because there's some podcasters
that are interesting to listen to but they just have such a boring delivery so like jeff booth
is so low energy and boring when you listen to him on 1.0 speed but it's when you turn it up to 1.5 or
i don't know if i've done two two x yet but at 1.5 it sounds like you're listening to podcasters
on cocaine which is a great it makes a lot of podcasts more interesting if you do that
it's a good good hack for sure tennis and golf i'm with pies on this i think tennis and golf
are pretty gay i i think it's not really a real sport unless there's some sort of physical contact
in my my personal opinion like the i guess racing racing and racing there's physical
contact people crash into each other all the time it's really dangerous
but like the the initial sports were all around like combat and fighting for the most part
and that's just what sports are is they're they're kind of the uh
for the pacified masses it's a reenactment of warfare in a lot of ways and tennis and golf are
really not they don't if uh if you know if if you're really strict parents would let you play
a quote-unquote sport with a girl from school that you're courting on a first date
it's not a sport right like tennis golf you don't need a uh it's not you know there's no
body to body contact there's no uh boxing out there's no um tackling being on top of all you
know it's if you if you can't do it if you're gay you can't it's not a sport
yeah pickleball is not not a sport
there's a question
about esports
professional wrestling is a sport
absolutely is
especially Rampage Jackson his son really made it a sport this week Yeah he did That was terrible Yeah E is not a sport no matter
You know, Plenitor probably wishes Nintendo.
Made him an athlete.
But, unfortunately, it does not.
In my opinion.
Next boost.
Thank you, Pies.
Next boost from Baba1000Sat says,
Thanks for the plug.
Or do the kids call that a shout-out?
i'm so unhip i'm probably cool rob i would gladly get in the way at sturges for you i'd work on
getting free drink for us you know lubrication is important mr greaser thanks for the help on lonely
road but are you sure i'm real people i might be a hologram look at the scratches sniff by the way
the song is really good a great closer okay boys stay angry and sarcastic it's a turn on for the
ladies yeah bubba i'm pretty sure you're a real person because i smoke cigarettes with you i don't
think you're a whole i don't think holograms can uh take cigarettes out of my hand and light them
not yet at least uh man can you imagine how good of a time it'd be to go to sturgis with bubba
i know i would say that that would be any great trip i think we should do it
uh yeah the the lonely road song is a good song i really i really enjoyed that one
i've enjoyed uh i've been chatting with bubble i'm gonna have bubble on my music show it's not
this monday but uh the monday after that on uh september 1st
so that'll be good did you know when when is uh the fed gonna decide on cutting rates in september
or when are they supposed to i don't know i don't know i'll believe the rates uh and yeah i don't
even know how I would
check to see that interest rates
were actually cut.
I don't
know how to verify
that myself.
But whenever
I see it on Twitter, I don't know, probably
middle of the next month.
Yeah.
The best way to verify if the
interest rates have been cut is to listen to
Bitcoin podcasts, obviously.
Because Bitcoin podcasters love to talk
about the Federal Reserve and whatever they're
Hell yeah.
Pies again hits us with 121 sats.
Yo, yo, yo.
Salute emoji.
Mushroom emoji.
Flex emoji.
Thanks, Pies.
Oh.
Chill now.
999 sats.
I've been enjoying Chill Now's memes on Twitter.
Lots of really interesting kind of esoteric memes.
Chill Now says system experiment initiated error.
One installation purity test return failed.
Two podcasters seeking fair market value by exploiting stereotypes.
Two shrinking attention spans.
Value adding entropy for a thermodynamically sound product.
Entropy minus zero entropy error.
Unable to collect sufficient entropy.
The middle class is dying.
the market rejected it everything a node is the manifest destiny of the 21st century
process and memory corruption so i always enjoy these boos is that bullish
i think it's a bullish for bitcoin yes nice hell yeah i that is uh it's probably more it's
It looks like it's encoded for AI to understand and robots to read.
But it's still, you know, it's a great, it's pretty like cyborg translation.
I think Chill Now is definitely a good follow-up on Noster.
Oh, yeah.
Got 5,000 sats from Wait Stage Hoddle.
How do you become a subscriber?
Found you as your bonus show and played about 90 seconds of it,
but there's no option to subscribe.
the frontier does not have good ux for we p pioneers uh i think somebody replied and let you
know uh but if you can't figure out how to subscribe you probably need to update
the fountain app to the latest version i think that solves it yeah that could be the case that
the best way to subscribe is to go to the main podcast page like the the feed on fountain and
And at the top, there's a banner that says subscribe for $9.99 a month.
So just under $10 USDT per month.
And that's how you do it.
You just go there.
You click on that banner.
Right now, the exchange rate is $8,801.
So you might want to wait until the price pumps a little bit.
The exchange rate will be a little bit better.
But, yeah, that's how you do it.
should be fairly simple i guess you have to have your nostor uh account connected to
fountain so that that's been one of the uh issues but yeah if you if you do all of what i've
described and you still aren't able to subscribe it just might be that the revolution doesn't have
good UX so uh let me know or let Fountain know and I'll let Fountain know that you're having an
issue well appreciate it late stage hodl you're a great great guy really enjoy late stage hodl I
found him on Noster too this week if I'm not following you on Noster you're listening to the
show just uh like comment on one of my posts let me know that I should follow you I will
same same with me the next one is jason c from back on the chain with fundamentals whose book
you should buy if you have not already uh jason says subscribe do you not intend to miss any google
weekly content and richard i really enjoyed you on once bitten you handle lauren's opening question
with class and daniel seemed to return the gesture giving you plenty of space high signal rip
it was good it was uh he listened to the once bitten with richard uh i almost i almost stopped
listening it's a little rough like the first 10 15 minutes but then i read this year sure it
yeah i was having an off day i said a lot of ums and likes and i don't know what that was about but
Yeah, I thought it was a good conversation with Daniel.
I enjoyed Daniel a lot.
I just got to say, I got a tremendous amount of respect for a father
that podcasts with his daughter.
I thought that was a really cool dynamic.
Yeah.
And I enjoyed that.
I was genuinely happy and excited to have his daughter there.
I know a lot of people, they look at kids and they don't appreciate them,
but I, I definitely appreciate kids. I like them being included in the learning process. And I feel
like the, one of the best things you can do as a parent is to bring, like, to give your family
a sense of like a mission and like a shared story and, and, and to bring your children into it so
that they're active participants in the family,
like adding value to it in some way.
And so what essentially what Daniel has done for his daughter
in allowing her to podcast with him is she,
he has allowed her to have this incredible role in human history
in helping to usher in Bitcoin.
And that's a really cool story.
She's going to be able to tell her kids and her grandkids someday,
like, hey, I was a Bitcoin podcaster with my dad when I was a kid.
Like, what an absolutely incredible story to be able to pass on.
What an absolutely incredible opportunity.
And so I was really excited about that.
uh i thought it was cool that she was there i got a tremendous amount of respect for for daniel to
do that i think parents should be proud of their kids and my favorite parents in the world are
people that are proud of their kids people that don't treat their kids like they're a nuisance
because you're i i don't think kids should be treated like they're a nuisance i think it's a
it's a real disservice like that was one of the things i really liked about like satoshi
was you could see these parents in the way that they appreciated their kids.
John loved his kids.
You can see it.
Fundamentals appreciates his kids.
That's the way the world changes is by treating kids well,
unlike the majority of the population did during the COVID lockdowns.
lockdowns but yeah i've got some more podcast appearances i did a i did a podcast with brandon
carpal is on the bitcoin for businesses podcast that that'll be good uh and i've got another one
coming up i'm going on bitcoin gauntlet next week so i'm excited for that one i've been listening to
bitcoin gauntlet a little bit it's very interesting format but uh i think yeah speaking for myself and
I think this includes you, Rod.
I think we're both more than happy to go on just about anybody's podcast.
So just let us know.
We're happy to do it.
Yeah.
And podcasts with your daughter.
There's no better way to align father and daughters and Santa's than to buy Bitcoin podcasts together.
The next one, RevHodl, 1,121 sats.
Once you add another badge to your pre-test sash, attend your local Bitcoin meetup.
coming out with me in the south bend indiana bitcoin meetup the first thursday every month

relationships and resilience with local bitcoiners um yeah so commercial there for the south bend
indiana bitcoin meetup at wang lab on 6 30 the first thursday of every month hang out with
Rev Hottle.
Talk about Bitcoin podcast.
South Bend.
So that's, I mean, if you're Chicago, that's nearby.
Indianapolis, you could probably get there.
Check it out.
Do you have to like Notre Dame to go?
I don't think so.
I don't think you have to like Notre Dame or Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
or I think that's the two things they're known for.
I hate Notre Dame.
Yeah, me too.
Notre Dame sucks.
You know, as far as transportation secretaries,
Pete Buttigieg kind of sucks,
but I want to shout out Shadrach.
Shadrach's the transportation secretary for Paznia,
which is pretty cool.
Just random fun fact.
Well, thanks for playing.
Well, you know, a lot of people ask when they talk about the last government,
they say, who will build the roads?
Well, according to Mayor Pete, the last people, the government who built the roads,
they mean I'm racist.
So if you want the government to be in charge of everything,
just remember everything the government makes, even roads, is racist.
Absolutely.
What would it take to make the roads not racist in Pete Buttigieg's mind?
do you have to paint them all rainbow is that the way to do it
rainbow yeah yeah rainbow roads rainbow roads rainbow highways um i think i think kamala harris
said trees are racist too so you got to make sure that the roads and the trees are not too close to
each other so they're not racist together i don't know i i'm not a civil engineer it's an interesting
problem solved but yeah uh rev huddle great guy i've been uh joining his posts on nostr
enjoying his random uh dms that he sends me about different ideas he's got good guy big fan
actually i you know i i've got a product sitting right next to me that i uh bought from rev huddle

Be Evil Weekly.
You heard my voice through the sea of noise.
Wanted the freedom to use your mind.
You met me in the dark where only the wise can see.
Wanted to leave a mark, control your destiny.
Come take my hand, let's make a stand
Here is our chance, it's time to dance
Come and take my hand, we'll dance until the end
While the world is falling apart
They won't understand, but let them all be dead
Feel the music in your heart
Distractions abound to cloud your sight
But you have found all the courage to fight
Weighing the costs of facing the system's rejection
The masses are lost but you have direction
Why do they feel threatened by people with self-respect?
We will not kneel and pretend or numb out and disconnect
We're here together watching the world fall apart
I know you'll feel the pressure but this is just a start
Come take my hand
Let's make a step
Here is our chance
It's time to dance
Come and take my hand, we'll dance until the end
While the world is falling apart
They won't understand, but let them all be damned
Feel the music in your heart
The world will not be won if we can't have fun
Have the courage to use your mind
They may hate our memes, but they cannot crush our dreams
We can still have a good time
Don't let them get you down, that's what they try to do
Break down your sense of self by mocking what is true
If you don't believe your eyes and refuse to use your brain
You will fall for their lies and likely go insane
Come take my hand, let's make a stand
Here is our chance, it's time to dance
Come and take my hand
Dance until the end
While the world is falling apart
They won't understand
But let them all be dead
Feel the music in your heart
Bye.
