"The Milk Road" w/ calvadev (nprofile…x3y2)

One of my favorite people from The Network School - Calvadev is out in the world. Building. Making funny content to bring awareness to the benefits of milk straight from teat to teeth.

The guy is awesome. The mission is too. He's thoughtful, wise, funny, and sharp.

Check this episode out to learn more about someone building truly useful things on nostr - the founder of Shopstr & Milk Market.

"Pura Vida - NOSTR, Network States, and New Life" w/ paulinthejungle (nprofile…uzxr)

We teleport to BitcoinJungle (nprofile…t0pm) from the Bitcoin Prairie, and the tan Tarzan of surf, sand, and sovereign speech walks us through the trees.

Paul Keating is pure life.

From barreling fastballs to getting barreled in the surf, he lives a live of pure joy.

The man IS a bitcoin standard. Health, community, family, movement. Paul is building the primal (nprofile…uz3y) community thanks to the power of NOSTR.

• Owning your voice with keys
• Interoperability instead of walled gardens
• Apps can moderate you — but they can’t silence you
• Nostr as the real Web3 moment
• Bitcoin as the base layer of the internet
• Tools that save time instead of stealing it

Bitcoin is monetary freedom. NOSTR is the digital America. The only borders are those you choose.

Listen to be truly excited about the future of free speech, marketplace, music, and more. And welcome thewholeframe (nprofile…swcg) to nostr!

Escaping Venezuela: Bitcoin Saves Family from Maduro Regime w/ elsultanbitcoin (nprofile…txhu)

Sultan is a young man who has lived a full life already.

In high school he became part of a group of underground bitcoin miners in Venezuela.

His work for freedom money continues thirteen years later.

Bitcoin empowered his family to flee the collapse and corruption...to escape the country where he was kidnapped as a child...TWICE.

He's fascinating, energetic, and excited about the future.

So are we!

Max (nprofile…8p0e) is one of the heartbeats of nostr.

Breathing life into decentralized freedom technology as a builder and a philosopher, he lives the values he espouses.

Only on nostr. Acting by axioms. Moving with intent.

The money is broken, and we all feel it.
Our platforms of expression are less obvious...they work for most people.

But it's that tiny minority of people brave enough to speak out whose voices are silenced.

The state steals money.
Platforms steal speech.

Bitcoin fixes the first.
Nostr fixes the second.

"Build on it - make it better!"

That's the message from Nackoo2000 (nprofile…l67p), chief of staff at Breez_tech (nprofile…rq55).

Bitcoin isn’t about number go up.
It’s about who controls the rails—and what survives when fiat fails.

🎙️ On Bitcoin Study Sessions, we sat down with Ivan Makedonski (Chief of Staff at **Breeze**) to talk Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, and the future of value.

Key takeaways from this chat👇

⚡ **UX over ideology**
Decentralization doesn’t matter if it feels broken.
Nostr’s UI is fine. The UX needs to be better..

🌍 **Adoption happens when systems fail**
Bitcoin doesn’t win arguments.
It wins when fiat breaks.

🧠 **Proof of Signal beats audience capture**
When comments cost sats, noise disappears.

💸 **Split payments change capitalism**
Value flows directly to individuals.
Corporations → networks.
Creators → patronage.

🛡️⚔️ **Bitcoin is shield *and* cannonball**
Defense and penetration against centralized power.

⚠️ **The risk ahead**
CBDCs riding Bitcoin rails.
Mandated Lightning split payments.
Centralized treasuries posing as freedom.

Final thought:
Hoarding isn’t the goal.
Building is.
Providing value is.

🎧 Full episode out now.
Build signal. Ignore noise.

Bitcoin Study Sessions: Episode 60!

We just unpacked The Mandibles—and it feels less like fiction every year. Lionel Shriver's 2016 book is coming alive before our eyes.

🇺🇸 Dollar collapses

💳 US renounces its debt

🌍 New global currency

🥫 Food shortages, gold outlawed

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A family forced to confront what wealth actually is

As money dies, so do identities.

As comfort disappears, morality shifts.

Survival replaces ideology.

The real question isn’t will this happen— it’s who adapts when the system breaks.📉

Empires don’t fall all at once.

They decay… then default.

Have you read it—or are we living it?

James Poulos wrote "Human Forever: The Digital Politics of Spiritual War" and put it as a question to the world:

What does it mean to be human?

Look at what surrounds you...how much it came to you through an algorithm?

What about the thoughts in your head? Your opinions and preferences, your allegiances and opposition...

Where did it come from?

What would happen if you opted out?

Bitcoin lets us opt out of the lies of the fiat monetary system...

What can we do to remove ourselves from the undue influence of technology?

Bitcoin Study Sessions - Episode 58 is a BANGER!

Disclaimer: nothing said constitutes legal or tax advice :)

IF you don't know Adam Simecka, you will.

He's the founder of Manna Bitcoin , one of the best and most entertaining follows on X, and a truly genuine man.

Adam is rare - a combination of talent, passion, drive, and grit. From Air Force firefighter to entrepreneur, he has proven the courage and fortitude to succeed.

What will you learn here?

- why is spending bitcoin the most important factor in it's success?

- what anonymous, self-custody wallet is so easy a nine year old can set it up in thirty seconds AND create her own point-of-sale system for multiple vendors?

- what role did the Bank Secrecy Act play in handcuffing your freedom?

- which amendment is the most important? (hint: bang-bang!)

He brought beef from a bitcoin rancher, gave us shades of @NSmolenski in his thoughts, respectfully refers to Tether as a scam (monthly) and brings it home with a message:

Build the world you want to live in.

Time, like Bitcoin, marches on.

We at Bitcoin Study Sessions find bitcoin and time an interesting topic. We tackled Gigi (nprofile…tf6v) 's "Bitcoin is Time", we looked at what Nick Land has to offer on the subject... Jeff Booth (nprofile…w2ua) weighed in on the topic as well.

Brady stuffed two hours worth of insight into his 17 minute presentation at Bitcoin Amsterdam.

Jeff Booth - Freedom

If you’ve ever felt something is deeply wrong with the world but also felt an inexplicable optimism about the future — this episode is for you. The most mind-expanding Bitcoin conversation you’ll hear all year.

Jeff Booth (nprofile…w2ua) melts minds This is NOT another “number go up” chat. This is Jeff at his absolute deepest:

❤️ Why love & belonging is the hidden force driving every human decision (and how Bitcoin frees us from chasing it in a broken system).

🇺🇸How we’ve NEVER lived in a real free market… and what actual freedom will feel like when deflationary abundance finally arrives.

🔋Why fighting the fiat system only feeds it — and how quietly moving your time & energy into Bitcoin bends reality itself.

♟️The endgame: a world where jobs become optional, genius in every human gets unlocked, and consciousness itself levels up.

AI, ego death, exponential tech, Zoran Mamdani, stablecoins, privacy tech, El Salvador… he ties it all together with terrifying clarity and contagious hope.

Take the time to watch or listen, and hear this message.

"The Price of Tomorrow" - Jeff Booth (nprofile…w2ua)

Where Sal Pineda has focused on the social and cultural aspect, visionary tech entrepreneur Jeff Booth gives us a sober accounting of the battle between deflationary technology and inflationary money.

Terrifyingly, tech has been taking a beating.

The money is made worthless faster than revolutionary tech can make it useful.

But the story isn't over. In fact, we are just now reaching the inflection point.

Fold a piece of paper onto itself fifty times and observe the thickness.

After ten folds - .25 inches.
Twenty - four inches.

Even at thirty folds, it's thirty-four feet.

But the fiftieth?

Nearly seventy MILLION miles - almost to the sun.

This is Moore's Law in action - the defining observation of technological advancement.

For decades we dismiss exponential improvement because it seems irrelevant.

Then it astonishes us.

The car drives itself, better than any human.
The AI detects and treats cancer earlier, more accurate, and for the cost of a few cents of electricity.
The power itself crashes in price such that the peasant of tomorrow will have access to more electricity than the nation-states of mid-century.

The Price of Tomorrow is the story of deflation, the power of exponents, and the questioning of a post-economic society.

The boat shall be rocked, and we're here for the ride.

Grant and I break this one down, throwing a special thanks to Nackoo2000 (nprofile…l67p) for the recommendation.

spoiler alert: There's a hero in this story...

Sal Pineda

Sal's energy and empathy for the world bursts through the screen.

A child survivor of brutal civil war in El Salvador, he has a unique perspective on violence, truth, pain, and faith.

And from that has emerged hope - aptly identified by saylor (nprofile…mhjz) - in the form of bitcoin.

In this conversation:

What IS violence? Must it be kinetic, or is the unrelenting attack on wealth and savings through the unjust economic system it's own form own violence? Is it even worse than physical, given that it kills the hope of generations?

What role does shame play in understanding bitcoin? What about humility and acceptance? Beacons of light in the storm - like lindsaystamp (nprofile…0xrz) and her uber journey to acquire bitcoin - are giving hope to thousands.

Is the ability to create and store wealth in a way that cannot be adulterated vital to freedom of speech, assembly, and more? How does art flourish in the age of sound money?

All this and more - a magnificent discussion with a tremendous voice and motivator of change.

What are common pitfalls - and proven solutions?
How did bitcoin change the game by escalating trust from Dunbar's number...to infinity?

These questions and conversations are vital to thriving in modern society.

"Why Bitcoin is Freedom Money" by gladstein (nprofile…xncl)

Nearly 90% of the world lives without basic monetary freedom.

Imagine losing half your wealth overnight to politics.
Imagine not being able to even have money in your name because of your gender.
Imagine a new ruler comes to power that disagrees with your religion and your place of worship can no longer gather funds to turn the lights on.

This is reality for the great majority of global citizens.

How is bitcoin altering this reality?

Alex Gladstein's voice, writing and "boots-on-the-ground" approach is opening doors for a better world.

Bitcoin enables these freedoms currently being oppressed. Freedom of assembly, religion, movement...things we take for granted in the western world.

Joining the peaceful protest through adoption and use of bitcoin is making a difference for millions - soon to be billions - across the world.

Are you keen to make a difference - even if only for your own family?

Bitcoin Study Session #044 - nsmolenski (nprofile…ujtq)

We are joined by Natalie Smolenski, editor of and contributor to "The Satoshi Papers: Reflections on Political Economy After Bitcoin".

Violence - the exercise of force to procure and secure resources and enable payment - is the well-spring from which the state emerged.

But the ability to maintain control, seemingly, has been dependent upon the ability of the state to issue money.

What is the world after Bitcoin, when the state is no longer in control of money?

If religion is the vehicle to enforce the sacrifice demanded of original sin, how are we think about the spiritual domain in today's world?

The non-profit sector seemingly exists as a reward to those profitable enough to buy themselves into the prosperous world of charity - as the state loses it's coercive power of taxation, what does charity look like in the future?

The discussion of the role of violence casts shadows of Major Jason P. Lowery's jasonplowery (nprofile…f7hr) SOFTWAR.

Most refreshingly, she reminds us:

The state has no rights. All rights are of the people, who can agree to temporarily delegate limited power to the state.
Perhaps the time has come to review those delegations.

Grant and I agree this is our favorite discussion to date.

Natalie's depth and consideration of thought invites the listener to consider the purpose and nature of the existence of state.

Listen intently. Read the book.

"Our Tribal Future - Part One"

@thewholeframe & I leave the echo-chamber of sound money advocates in this foray into the science, evolution, and determinism of societal organization - The Tribe, composed of Bands built from Camps.

Author @Primalprimate (Dr. David Samson) provides historical evidence, current events, scientific justification, and more to drive to his definition of tribes as the natural outgrowth of drive for humanity to form coalitions.

In this episode, listeners may ask themselves:

What costly signals do I make to show my alliance to my tribe?

Why is it I view the "other" (sports team, political ideology) with such fervent opposition?

How did selective breeding lead to the scenario that enables pre-meditated "cold-blooded" murder, such as that of Charlie Kirk?

Part One gives us the grounding theory, Part Two gives us the roadmap for success.

Streaming was supposed to democratize music. Instead, it locked creators into a new hierarchy.

You don’t own your audience. You don’t own your data. And unless you're in the top 1%, you barely own your income.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

New music - previously unreleased!

I'd just begun recording an album with legendary songwriter & producer Mike McClure (The Great Divide, Mike McClure Band, Crow & Gazelle) when COVID shut down the world.

This is the acoustic version of "No Shotgun" from Boohatch Studios.

Liberating.

Once you realize you're the source of all your misery, you can be enlightened by the idea that you're also the well-spring of all your own joy.

Attended an open mic at a joint explicitly not serving nazis, so says their sign. One can only assume the place was thick with nazis and they were bad tippers who consistently left their tabs open.

Many of the artists, it would appear, write using the same dictionary.

Turns out lots of things rhyme with “fascist”. Perhaps I'm missing out on some low-hanging fruit in the lyric game.

"King Size on the Floor"

Dated a gal whose apartment was so small...
she pulled her bedroom door off it's hinges...
so her King Size mattress would fit.

There's a place in Kansas City advertising a sure-fire treatment for erectile dysfunction.

Free if it doesn't work right there, right away. In the office.

I realized...

Somebody gonna try to scam their way into a free boner...
and somebody else gonna have to verify one way or the other.

Anyway, just glad I play music.

Don't know why I thought of that.

#006 SOFTWAR Recommendations & Conclusions

We walk through the sixth and final chapter of the author's case for the immediate adoption of a bitcoin strategic stockpile as a national defense imperative.

Today's conversation...

Is proof-of-work a weapon?

What do bitcoiners have in common with the folks who worked on the Manhattan Project?

How can SOFTWAR be MAGA-hatted into the shared memetic consciousness?

and more.

The adventure of exploring ideas continues next time as we begin Lyn Alden's "Broken Money" Enjoy!

#005 SOFTWAR Power Projection Tactics in Cyberspace

NOTE: for the lazy, rushed, & efficient: this discussion can be treated as a stand-alone, as we re-cover and coalesce much of chapters 1-4 in the act of understanding chapter 5. Grounded theory for the win.

Grant & Lucas walk through the fifth chapter of the author's case for the immediate adoption of a bitcoin strategic stockpile as a national defense imperative.

Today's conversation...

What of the nature of computer programming makes it inherently susceptible to poor system security design?

How does object-oriented programming lead to systemic hacking opportunities?

Why is mutually-assured destruction the logical precedent to mutually-assured preservation? and more.

The rubber meets the road in our next discussion - Chapter 6: "Recommendations & Conclusions".

We walk through the fourth chapter of the author's case for bitcoin as a power projection technology.

hashforce on the horizon?
Today's conversation meanders through…

What is it about ideologies that allow them to be adopted - and spread - so rapidly?

Why does it seem that those closest to killing…are closest to God?

Will you slay your heroes…to become your own?

How does cooperation…lead to global conflict? …and more.

Our next discussion will cover Chapter 5 and the Tron-adjacent "Power Projection Tactics in Cyberspace".

#002 SOFTWAR Methodology

How does an interpretive grounded theory approach organize…a farm shop?

How does bias make research more TRUE… instead of more NOT FALSE?

Could you have learned about bitcoin in ANY way other than how you did?

Our next discussion will cover Chapter 3 and the Attenborough-esque "Power Projection Tactics in Nature".

Enjoy!
