A big conservative political podcast (seven figure YouTube subscribers) asked me to come on and talk about bitcoin (sat next to them on the plane out of the May conference in Vegas, which sparked their request).

Last week when I went on the show, they decided to emphasize a talking point of why tariffs are great and will usher in a golden age, and some questions about bitcoin.

When asked about tariffs, I generally disagreed that they would be bullish or usher in a new golden age, mentioned that the past three months of data doesn’t show a decline in import prices which means it has been a tax on Americans, and eventually we moved to discussing bitcoin.

They ended up not airing the talk, and instead ran the clip with someone else who agreed on the tariff points. Waste of time, basically.

It’s a reminder that a big percentage of what you see in heavily politicized media is about narrative framing and talking points rather than genuine attempts to discuss or explore. It reminded me why I normally decline to go on political shows; I had only agreed to this one because the catalyst was in person and so the agreeable side of me was like “sure, why not”.

Well, that’s why not.

Repost because I'm so proud. Forbes article about Bitchat x Cashu:

"The Bitchat-plus-ecash model widens bitcoin’s surface area without tampering with its monetary policy, showing that hard money can be used in contexts where payment speed is important and internet connectivity may or may not be available."

We need to get Nostr on college campuses. The Bitcoin community is too boomer and doesn't even realize it.

In the inferno Dante reserves the deepest level of hell for traitors.

Yet most people betray themselves everyday.

- ignoring their values
- neglecting their potential
- avoiding the truth
- disregarding their health
- self sabotage
- choosing fear over growth
- not saying what they believe

The lesson here is that our hell is often of our own making.

It’s the cold distance we create from our own soul.

From who we are meant to be.
