Eight out of ten—crazy, right? But what if all that hovering is turning our kids into anxious, incapable adults who can't think for themselves? We're sitting down with Lenore Skenazy, the fearless mom dubbed “the world's worst” for letting her 9-year-old ride the NYC subway solo. She's the brains behind Free-Range Kids and Let Grow, a nonprofit smashing the helicopter parenting epidemic. This isn't just about letting kids play outside—it's about raising resilient, Bitcoin-ready rebels who can inherit the future.

Bitcoin developers are clashing over relaxing OP_RETURN limits. This technical debate about arbitrary data on Bitcoin has sparked divisions about what constitutes "spam" and revealed tensions between Bitcoin Core devs and those seeking a "purer" Bitcoin experience.You're listening to Bitcoin Season 2. Subscribe to the newsletter, trusted by over 12,000 Bitcoiners: https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.comWhat started as a technical proposal has exploded into community division, with accusations of "destroying Bitcoin" flying around. The hosts break down what OP_RETURN is, why some devs want to increase its size limit, and why others view it as enabling "spam" on the blockchain. At its core, this fight reveals deeper tensions about who controls Bitcoin's future and what the network should be used for.Notes:- OP_RETURN limit currently set at 83 bytes- Proposal would increase limit to ~1 megabyte- 30-45% of Bitcoin transactions are "non-financial"- Bitcoin Knots node usage has grown to 7-8%- Out-of-band transactions bypass node relay- Core devs facing diminished community trustTimestamps:00:00:00:00 Start00:00:36:16 Why's everyone so mad?00:02:04:14 Claim your bias00:04:00:03 The backstory00:08:27:09 Changing the OP_RETRUN limit00:11:24:06 Post to relax the limit00:15:39:23 Out of Band payment00:17:39:06 Standard vs valid consensus00:19:52:29 What is spam?00:28:41:05 Arch Network00:29:13:14 Cons of increasing the limit00:32:34:25 That's too "woke" bro!00:35:56:27 Knots-

Can "quantum biology" explain why even the healthiest people are still getting sick? In this episode, Dr. Alison Monette reveals why circadian rhythm health is the true foundation of wellness, not diet, exercise, or even supplements. She explains how morning sunlight, light exposure, and your alignment with natural cycles may matter more than anything else you're doing right now.We go deep into how Dr. Monette went from owning a CrossFit gym and practicing functional medicine, to discovering that even those models were still too centralized. Through her personal health journey and treating thousands of patients, she realized that quantum biology and decentralized health are the missing pieces, especially for those who are doing everything “right” and still not getting results.This conversation is for anyone who's burned out on biohacking, confused by contradictory nutrition advice, or who wants a simple, grounded way to build resilient, lifelong health. We unpack why blue light may be silently wrecking your sleep, how to use sunlight to reset your metabolism, and why your mitochondria are the real key to wellness. It's not about optimizing harder, it's about aligning smarter.If you've ever felt like modern life is out of sync with your biology, this episode will hit home. Plus, we explore how this all connects to Bitcoin, self-sovereignty, and why El Salvador might be the perfect place to reclaim your health.Subscribe, leave a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share this with someone who needs to hear it before they buy another supplement or sign up for another fitness challenge.Learn more about Dr. Alison Monettehttps://www.avenamedical.com/https://www.facebook.com/avenamedical/# Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comTimestamps:00:00 What does it mean to decentralize your health?08:00 Why functional medicine may still be too centralized12:45 Are CrossFit and extreme fitness harming your long-term health?19:00 How quantum biology reframed Dr. Monette's entire medical practice26:30 What is the most important lab test for inflammation?35:00 How circadian rhythm controls your metabolism and sleep41:00 Why morning sunlight is the most powerful health intervention48:30 Is intermittent fasting actually making things worse?57:00 What melatonin really does and how to naturally produce it1:10:00 Is sunscreen helping or harming your skin health?1:25:00 The connection between Bitcoin, sovereignty, and health decentralization#circadianrhythm #quantumbiology #biohackinglightLive From Bitcoin Beach
