The Roman Calendar is Dead: NextBlock's Bitcoin Time Revolution

How We're Opting Out of Arbitrary Time and Embracing Bitcoin's Natural Rhythm

[Block # 901651][S04X21]

In this season finale of Flirting with Bitcoin, Ian and Mandana reveal NextBlock's first offering: The Observatory - a timekeeping system that uncovers Bitcoin's hidden connection to ancient lunar cycles.

Ian shares his groundbreaking discovery that Bitcoin's blockchain is actually a "pseudo-programmatic lunar calendar" with 26 difficulty adjustments per year, creating exactly 13 moons annually. This revelation transforms how we understand Bitcoin's fundamental rhythm and opens the door to a completely new way of experiencing time.

The couple explores how this lunar-solar system creates natural seasons within Bitcoin's ecosystem, with the halving cycle (every 210,000 blocks) acting as the "sun" that creates four distinct quarters. Each quarter contains exactly 13 moons, creating a perfect harmony between Bitcoin's mathematical precision and humanity's oldest timekeeping mechanism.

But this isn't just about time - it's about freedom. The Observatory represents NextBlock's first offering to the world, demonstrating how Bitcoin enables us to "opt out" of the Roman calendar's arbitrary constraints and embrace a time system that's both mathematically precise and naturally aligned with cosmic cycles.

From the technical architecture that powers this system to the philosophical implications of choosing your own time, this episode reveals how NextBlock is building more than just a platform - they're creating an entirely new way of experiencing reality itself.

As Mandana says, "By changing your money, you completely separate yourself from the government." The Observatory shows us that by changing our time, we can separate ourselves from the entire system that's been imposed upon us.

Key Topics:

Bitcoin's hidden lunar calendar structure

The 13-moon system and 26 difficulty adjustments

NextBlock Observatory's launch

Opting out of the Roman calendar

Bitcoin's natural seasonal cycles

The connection between time, money, and freedom

This episode marks the beginning of NextBlock's journey to change not just how we think about money, but how we think about time itself.

⚡🏙️ FWB119 - The Gentrification of Bitcoin

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 16:25:25 GMT

The Gentrification of Bitcoin

How language, power, and new money are reshaping Bitcoin’s culture.

In this episode the hosts dive deep into the heated debate over whether Bitcoin’s smallest unit should be transformed as it goes mainstream. From the heated “bits vs SATs” debate to the influx of politicians, Wall Street, and corporate interests, they examine what’s gained and what’s lost when new money and new voices enter the space. With personal stories, sharp insights, and plenty of humor, this episode unpacks the tensions between old-school Bitcoiners and newcomers, the power of language, and what the future holds for the world’s most disruptive technology.

⚡🏷️ FWB118 - The Cost of Ignoring Bitcoin

Tue, 13 May 2025 18:20:37 GMT

The Cost of Ignoring Bitcoin

What price are you paying by waiting?

The perfect episode to share with friends and family who've dismissed Bitcoin in the past but might be ready to reconsider. Ian and Manana return to their roots, explaining why Bitcoin is the solution to our broken money system in accessible, compelling terms. With inflation rising and economic uncertainty growing, the hosts provide a timely and convincing case for Bitcoin adoption through real-world examples—including how they both quit their jobs while maintaining their lifestyle. They address common objections and questions skeptics have: from "What exactly is Bitcoin?" to "How do you actually live using it?" The episode serves as both a primer for beginners and a powerful reminder that Bitcoin offers financial freedom in an increasingly restricted world. As the hosts cleverly note, "You get Bitcoin at the price you deserve"—is today finally the day your skeptical friends deserve it?

⚡🕛 FWB117 - Attention Theft to Viewer's Choice

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 09:00:00 GMT

Attention Theft to Viewer's Choice

What if advertising actually respected you?

Mandana and Ian explore how the Bitcoin-powered Nostr protocol is revolutionizing digital advertising by testing ways to pay people viewing ads. They discuss projects like Zapertising, Buzzbot, and SIGs for SATs that are experimenting with paying users directly for their attention, rather than exploiting it. The couple examines how these alternatives contrast with their own project NextBlock and traditional social media platforms like BlueSky. They argue that by changing the financial incentives around attention, we can create a more equitable internet where both creators and audience members receive fair compensation, ultimately concluding that your attention might be worth significantly more than current systems suggest.

⚡FWB060 - If you liked it then you should've put a Zap on it!

Wed, 17 May 2023 14:28:56 GMT

Are one tap zaps the killer app for nostr? [Block #789552]

Join Mandana and Ian in this week's episode as they dive into the latest Bitcoin and Nostr news. First, the upcoming #NostrAsia conference, set to take place in Tokyo and Hong Kong simultaneously on Nov 1-3 and then "one tap zaps," the newest feature sweeping across all major Nostr clients, that makes sending Bitcoin as simple as a “like”. Shifting gears to Bitcoin, Ian breaks down the recent weeks of high transaction fees and their impact on the Bitcoin community. Additionally, Ian sheds light on Swan and Strike's approaches to navigate the new limitations imposed by Prime Trust's availability in North Carolina, offering a glimpse into the evolving landscape of the industry. Tune in to stay informed about the dynamic world of Nostr and gain valuable perspectives on the shifting rules of the game.

⚡🏴‍☠️ FW₿058 - Silk Road's Slippery Slope

Mon, 01 May 2023 22:39:25 GMT

Were people really getting drugs delivered to their house?

On this episode of Flirting with Bitcoin, we take a trip down memory lane and discuss the original Silk Road, an infamous online marketplace where people could buy and sell drugs and other goods using Bitcoin. We discuss the impact of Silk Road on the early Bitcoin community, including the challenges it posed to Bitcoin's reputation and the subsequent crackdown by law enforcement agencies.

We also have some important news to share regarding our bounty program. Due to popular demand and to keep the fun going, we have decided to continue the program, but with a reduced payout. Tune in to find out the new reward amounts, and how you can still participate in the program.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the colorful history of the Bitcoin community and share some exciting updates on the show

⚡🏴‍☠️ FW₿057 - Silk Road 2.0

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 22:18:15 GMT

Has the Dread Pirate Roberts returned? [Block #786282]

Welcome back to Flirting with Bitcoin, the show where we flirt with the future of money and try not to get rejected by the markets. In this episode, Mandana and Ian discuss the early days of their latest scheme to lure listeners into their Bitcoin-loving clutches: the #flirtingwithbitcoinclips bounty program. It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold doubloons, you get 1000 satoshis for creating a clip of our show on Fountain and another 1000 satoshis for sharing it on Nostr. It's a win-win situation, folks. You get some sweet, sweet sats, and we get to spread our message of financial liberation to the masses. It's a beautiful thing.

But seriously, folks, we're thrilled to see the power of user-generated content in action. It's the future of podcasting, and we're happy to be at the forefront of this revolution. We also dive into the latest news in the Bitcoin world, including the recent surge in adoption and what it means for the traditional financial system. And, as always, we're not afraid to tackle the big questions, like whether CivKit, the proposed decentralized marketplace, is the next Silk Road or the next Amazon. Join us for a fun and enlightening episode, as we continue to flirt with the unknown and embrace the chaos.

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 00:54:17 GMT

FW₿054 - TikTok Next Block

Ian and Mandana discuss the recent testimony of the CEO of TikTok in Congress and about a letter signed by tech leaders like Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, among others, calling for a halt to open AI development and how this connects to Bitcoin and the opinions of the Bitcoin community. The episode also touched upon OpenAI, a company that started as a nonprofit, which aimed to open-source all AI technology to prevent anyone from having an upper hand in the industry and creating dangerous robots. OpenAI eventually became a for-profit company and partnered with Microsoft, which bought a stake in the company, but Microsoft doesn't own OpenAI. The podcast explained why tech leaders are concerned about OpenAI and AI models, and how a billion-dollar investment in OpenAI by Microsoft could potentially result in complete control over the company.

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 04:02:53 GMT

Did we mine our first block? [Block #781576]

In this episode, Ian and Mandana share the exciting news of their new baby Kian, who was born on the same day as the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank. As passionate Bitcoin investors, they dive into the world of Bitcoin and discuss its unpredictable value, hoping it will pay off so they can afford more than just baby wipes. They also dream of their child growing up to be a Bitcoin billionaire, or at least not thinking Bitcoin is some fictional video game money. As they navigate the challenges of being Bitcoin investors and new parents, they hope to find a balance between risk and reward, so they're not the couple who spent their kid's college fund on a meme coin.

Ian updates us on the NFTs in Bitcoin discourse, Wyoming protecting our Private Keys, and El Salvador opening a Bitcoin Embassy in good ol’ Texas. Is it time to get your escape plan ready?

Ian closes it out explaining why he thinks Rihanna and other artists will soon be saying B*tch Better Have My Bitcoin. The future is decentralized, and Jack Dorsey & Jay-Z’s Tidal may lead the way for musicians - yayo, yayo!

FW₿049 - Nostr & El Salvador THRIVING on Bitcoin Island

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 12:00:00 GMT

Why are only Bitcoiners on Nostr?

Looks like the Nostr protocol is has found its groove as the new Twitter for Bitcoiners. Mandana, officially a Nostr OG, wonders what it’ll take for non-Bitcoiners to “get it” and join. Photo sharing? Make it the new TikTok? Ian says it’s bigger than that. Also, last week Mandana did her first Key Check. Do you know how to do yours? And finally, the Bukelle administration is paying off debt that was taken on by previous corrupt administrations… unlike any administration in the US in the last 20 years. Ain’t that interesting!

New Year, Same Schemes [Block #771180]

Mandana wonders if Bitcoiners have learned their lesson yet when it comes to storage. Ian catches her up to the latest imploding crypto company. Seems like the Winklevoss twins’ (remember them? Think Facebook origin story) crypto exchange Gemini and Genesis, owned by Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency Group, just cost their customers $900 million worth of coins. Oh, and a non-crypto bank, Silvergate, may also collapse. Check your money storage folks! No one is safe.

Sat, 31 Dec 2022 16:30:38 GMT

Am I a real bitcoiner yet?

After a year of making the pod, Ian and Mandana reflect on major stories, lessons learned, and what lies ahead for Bitcoin next year. If this was your first year learning about Bitcoin, are you convinced that Bitcoin is the best money? After experiencing this year’s volatility, will you HODL next time Bitcoin goes up? Or will you cash out? Do you have the conviction of a Bitcoin Maxi, or like Mandana, are you just not there yet?

⚡🎁 FWB045 - #flirtingwithbitcoinholidaychallenge

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 14:53:32 GMT

250k Satoshi Giveaway!

As the holidays approach that can only mean one thing, Ian’s 40th Birthday is right around the corner and Mandana has finally figured out a gift he actually wants. The gift of Bitcoin. Not for himself, but for everyone else. This year Ian is asking everyone to get Bitcoin for themselves instead of buying him a gift for his birthday and we are encouraging our listeners to do the same with friends & family this holiday season.

The “challenge”,

* Buy $40 of Bitcoin for yourself and/or convince someone to buy Bitcoin for themselves instead of buying you a gift.

* Follow us on Twitter and/or Instagram

* Share proof of purchase on Twitter or Instagram by tagging the pod and using the hashtag #FlirtingWithBitcoinHolidayChallange.

* On December 26th, Ian’s Birthday, we will pick one lucky winner and match up to $40 for his 40th birthday.

We hope this challenge resonates with you, and this episode helps you get a few more friends and family on the Bitcoin path. Let’s all spread some Bitcoin cheer!

⚡👽 FWB044 - The (FT)X-Files

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 00:00:56 GMT

Why has no one been arrested from the FTX collapse?

Ian fills Mandana in on the latest developments that include outrageously biased media coverage, Kanye-esque SBF interviews, laundering stolen funds through Ethereum, and even a mysterious death… Maybe murder! Will SBF join our pod next to explain himself? The first question would be… How was FTX the biggest exchange but they didn’t hold any Bitcoin?

NOTE!

After we recorded the episode, Coffeezilla got SBF to do an interview with him. It appears that he got him to admit to fraud. You be the judge.

Ian reviews what she’s learned without his help thanks to Roca News, and fills in the gaps that only Bitcoiners seem to see. Mandana asks if this will finally end the trading of cryptocurrencies tied to exchanges such as FTX’s token FTT. Ian tries to drive the point home that ignoring crypto and Bitcoin is no longer an option. If you care about your hard-earned money, you need to pay close attention to who you “trust” to store your money. And if you trust no one, there is always Bitcoin.

Keeping the conversation going about their relationship and future, Ian shares Jimmy Song's latest essay about the theory that fiat debases the value of having a family.
