In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, we dive into the latest developments in the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. We discuss the recent security breaches and attacks on crypto users, highlighting the importance of maintaining privacy and security in the digital currency space. We also explore the advancements in Bitcoin wallets, including the release of Cake Wallet's PayJoin v2, which aims to enhance user privacy and transaction efficiency. Additionally, we touch on the innovative features introduced by Samourai Dojo, such as Soroban and Pando TX, which aim to improve messaging relaying and transaction anonymity.GO TO SATIRIZE THE SYSTEM: https://lu.ma/mb4ady2uWednesday May 28th, 2025 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM PDT450 Fremont St #250, Las Vegas NV USAIMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Max & Q discuss the ongoing legal battle involving the Samourai Wallet developers, who are facing charges from the US government. They explore the recent developments, including the revelation that the prosecutors withheld critical evidence that could potentially dismiss one of the charges. This evidence, from FinCEN, indicated that Samourai Wallet's noncustodial design did not qualify as a money service business, contradicting one of the charges. They also touch on the implications of the Blanche memo, which suggests a shift in how the DOJ approaches crypto-related cases.Our second major topic is the controversy surrounding the op_return limit in Bitcoin transactions. Max & Q explore the arguments for and against removing the 80-byte limit, with proponents arguing for network efficiency and harm reduction, while opponents fear blockchain bloat and a shift away from Bitcoin's financial focus. They discuss the implications of these changes on the network, including potential impacts on fee estimation and miner centralization.

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.In this episode, Max speaks with Will Jager from The Rage to discuss the ongoing battle for privacy in the digital age. They hit on the complexities surrounding the Samourai Wallet case and the broader implications of government overreach on software developers. Will shares insights into the challenges faced by independent journalists in covering these critical issues and the importance of supporting platforms that strive to maintain journalistic integrity. They also touch on the evolving landscape of privacy legislation in the EU and the potential consequences for encryption and personal freedoms.Visit The Rage: https://www.therage.co Support The Rage: https://geyser.fund/project/therageFollow Will: https://x.com/WillisJagerIMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

In this episode, we catch up after a longer-than-usual break and dive into some exciting updates and announcements. We discuss the launch of the Passport Core in stealth mode, a sleek new version of the beloved Passport hardware wallet, now available for order. We also touch on the sold-out status of the classic colorway and the manufacturing timelines for new orders. Additionally, we explore the innovative rugged box case for the Passport Core, crafted by Black Coffee, and celebrate Foundation's fifth anniversary, reflecting on the company's growth and future aspirations.They also discuss into personal projects and community events, including a new Nostr educational website and the upcoming Bitcoin Beach retreat in Wales. In the news segment, we cover a range of topics from a BitAxe block mining success story to regulatory updates from FinCEN and the EU, as well as a tragic plane crash involving a figure linked to The Pirate Bay. We wrap up with updates on various Bitcoin and Lightning projects, including new releases from Zeus, Phoenix, Ronin Dojo, and more, alongside a discussion on the practicality of running Linux on Graphene OS phones.AOBPassport dark mode now available to order (or will be by the time we release this)New Passport cases by BCFoundation turned 5 yesterday!Q has a new websiteMax AOBNoBS Bitcoin taking a breakNEWSAnother BitAxe blockFINCEN Surveillance limit loweredMan held in contempt for refusing to surrender 119.65BTCNo, the EU is not stealing anyone's savingsPirate Bay co-founder dies in plane crashSamourai defense analysisUPDATES/RELEASESZeus v0.10.0Phoenix v2.5.0 + 2.5.1RoninDojo v2.2.0Ashigaru v1.1.1Ashigaru code reviewNunchuk Android 1.9.64Q OS group wallet testingOrange Surf GridLinux on GrapheneOSSimplex v6.3Nym VPN releasedLN SIM expands to cover all of EuropeUnderrated privacy tools on LNIMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Welcome back to another episode of The Confab. This episode, I catch up with my good friend, Badders, who is not only the creator of our podcast's intro music but also a return guest and colleague from our time at 21ism. Badders and I explore the concept of sovereignty and the idea of separating oneself from government control. We discuss the notion of the government as a legal fiction, a corporate entity that operates through trickery and deception, and how individuals can potentially extricate themselves from this system. Badders shares his journey of living a self-sustainable life in rural South of France, where he and his family have embraced a lifestyle of independence and connection with nature. We also touch upon the darker aspects of history and the influence of powerful families and organizations that have shaped the current global system. Badders shares his insights from diving deep into various historical and conspiracy theories, exploring the roots of satanic freemasonry, mind control, and the manipulation of global events by elite families. It's a conversation that challenges the status quo and encourages listeners to explore these topics further, offering a glimpse into the potential for a life of true freedom and independence.https://www.thesovereignproject.live/IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME CLOTHING @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/store/- BUY SOME ART!! @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/art-gallery/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Welcome back to Monero Monthly, where Max and Seth dive into the past month in the world of Monero. They cover key topics, exciting updates, and questions from the community, delivering top-notch information with a touch of misfit flair.P2P ExchangesMediated swaps:LocalMonero (may it RIP, will see if something takes it's place)Haveno via RetoSwap (fiat XMR and crypto XMR)Bisq (BTC XMR)Robosats (BTC XMR)AMMsSerai (coming soonTM)Atomic SwapsBasicSwapUnstoppableSwapGeneralRucknium, a researcher, has released his work on statistical analysis of ring signatures in Monerohttps://github.com/Rucknium/OSPEAD/blob/main/README.mdAt current Monero ring size of 16, the theoretical minimum attack success through completely random guessing would be 1/16 = 6.25%. According to preliminary estimates, an adversary could take advantage of the divergence between the real spend age distribution and the status quo decoy distribution to achieve an attack success probability of 23.5%, on average, since the August 2022 hard fork. This corresponds to an effective ring size of 4.2. The attack success probability prior to August 2022 may be higher, but this was not measured due to time constraints.Monero can easily scale to Bitcoin's transaction throughput on-chainhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1iimio0/this_is_how_many_transactions_monero_can_handle/Doesn't account for self-custodial Lightning transactions, of courseFantastic post on Monero's upcoming addressing scheme update, CARROThttps://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1iph8fz/more_vitamins_for_monero_with_carrot_part_1/Monero Core Team posts funding transparency reporthttps://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1iixgk9/monero_general_fund_transparency_report_february/Explain Monero Core team!Software updatesCake Wallet releases v4.23.0 and v4.23.2Monero passphrase support for new and existing walletshttps://blog.cakewallet.com/cake-wallet-releases-improvements-to-zano-ledger-ethereum-and-more-v4-23-2-2/https://blog.cakewallet.com/cake-wallet-zano-integration-and-monero-passphrases-v4-23/Monero v0.18.4.0 is right around the cornerhttps://monero.observer/selsta-posts-monero-v0.18.4.0-release-to-do-list/https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/9758Links From the Episodehttps://mynymbox.io/Monerujo updatehttps://docs.cakewallet.com/IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME CLOTHING @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/store/- BUY SOME ART!! @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/art-gallery/CAKE WALLEThttps://cakewallet.comCake Wallet is an open-source, non-custodial wallet available on Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux.Features:- Built-in Exchange: Swap easily between Bitcoin and Monero.- User-Friendly: Simple interface for all users.Monero Users:- Batch Transactions: Send multiple payments at once.- Faster Syncing: Optimized syncing via specified restore heights- Proxy Support: Enhance privacy with proxy node options.Bitcoin Users:- Coin Control: Manage your transactions effectively.- Silent Payments: Static bitcoin addresses- Batch Transactions: Streamline your payment process.Thank you Cake Wallet for sponsoring the show!FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Welcome back to the Bitcoin Brief! In this unique episode, I caught up with Bitcoin Q&A, Dice Rolls, Black Coffee, and Ben Gunn at his site. We explored the area, checked out the new CNC machine, and enjoyed a chaotic yet fun gathering with quad bikes, motocross bikes, and dogs running around. Despite the audio challenges due to background noise, it was a fantastic reunion.We had a barbecue, thanks to Dice Rolls, who cooked up a storm with chicken, sausages, and more, despite some equipment challenges. The atmosphere was lively, with discussions ranging from Bitcoin updates to the new dojo on Start Nine, which I recorded separately with Jordan.We also touched on the latest developments in Bitcoin and privacy tools, including the integration of Cake Wallet with Passport Prime. The conversation veered into the realm of Nostr and its potential to revolutionise digital identity and privacy, despite some concerns about security and key management.In the midst of all this, we took a moment to appreciate the support from our listeners and community, who continue to boost the show and share it widely. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this episode possible.Stay tuned for more exciting updates and discussions in the next episode, where we'll dive deeper into the latest innovations in the Bitcoin space.

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions.

Verifiability of Supplyhttps://sethforprivacy.com/posts/dispelling-monero-fud/#you-cant-audit-the-monero-supplyhttps://www.moneroinflation.comThis is probably the most common point of FUD brought against Monero, and is caused by the complexity and nuance involved in understanding how supply audits work in cryptocurrencies.Monero's supply can be easily audited by anyone running a Monero node, but this process does rely on the soundness of the monerod software implementation and the validity of cryptography used in range-proofs. These range-proofs allow it to be mathematically proven that the inputs and outputs of each transaction add up to zero without revealing amounts, ensuring that the supply is sound and not inflated in any way. Every node on the network is validating these range-proofs in each transaction every time a transaction is first seen, and validating all historical range-proofs when initially syncing.A manual audit is possible because coinbase transactions (those transactions that are mining rewards in each block including issuance + transaction fees) are intentionally transparent and amounts of these outputs are not obfuscated in any way. Monero users running a node can simply validate these totals on-demand, and all node owners are constantly verifying the amounts in transactions via range-proofs.Unlike Bitcoin, however, Monero users cannot simply do “napkin math” and validate the supply by manually adding up UTXO amounts, as transactions are never known-spent by the network, only by the parties involved in each specific transaction. This does force some added reliance on code/cryptography over Bitcoin, but as-of-yet I know of no onevalidating the Bitcoin supply this way. It does remain a valuable advantage of a transparent cryptocurrency, though it comes at the cost of the transactional privacy of every user in the system.GeneralNew primer on full-chain membership proofs available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc8Kc0WogAIFantastic Forbes article on Monero:https://www.forbes.com/sites/boazsobrado/2025/01/18/is-monero-keeping-bitcoins-cypherpunk-dream-alive/BTCPay team being amazing and migrating Monero support to a plugin for v2.xhttps://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/538#note_28197https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/pull/6535https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-monero-pluginNapoly and Deverick Apollo will help to transition the plugin to the Monero community and build out multi-wallet supporthttps://monero.observer/napoly-deverickapollo-ccs-proposal-develop-btcpayserver-monero-plugin/Software UpdatesHaveno keeps getting better and betterv1.0.18 released: https://monero.observer/woodser-releases-haveno-v1.0.18-fixes-improvements/Can now buy your first Monero without a security deposit by finding a seller and communicating a passwordhttps://monero.observer/haveno-v1.0.15-released-support-buying-monero-without-security-deposit/https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/1464#issuecomment-2545298727RetoSwap is the current live implementation of Haveno, have used to test and has been fantastic, quick, and easyhttps://retoswap.comMonero passphrase support in Cake Wallet v4.23.0Easy way to run a Monero daemon on your laptop or desktop gets even betterhttps://monero.observer/everoddandeven-releases-monero-daemon-gui-v1.1.0-toughness/Mining MoneroCPU mining vs ASICsp2pool vs solo miningMining via gupax on desktopshttps://gupax.ioMining via p2pool + xmrig on servershttps://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-p2pool-node/Mining Monero via decentralized p2pool keeps getting betterGupaxx update v1.7.0 released:https://monero.observer/cyrix126-releases-gupaxx-v1.7.0-ui-improvements-new-features-fixes/p2pool v4.3 released:https://monero.observer/schernykh-releases-p2pool-v4.3-initial-sync-improvements/XMRChat BoostsYou just leveled up

Just a few days before officially revealing the new Passport Prime hardware wallet, I challenged Foundation Devices CEO Zach Herbert to convince me to replace my faithful Trezor Model T with his company's new device. Did he succeed? Let's find out!
In this episode, we dive into an exciting announcement with Zach and Q from Foundation. After two years of hard work, they unveil the team's latest creation, the Passport Prime, a revolutionary personal security platform. Unlike traditional hardware wallets, Passport Prime combines the features of a hardware wallet with those of a YubiKey, offering multi-factor authentication, encrypted storage, and an extendable app platform for third-party developers. This open app platform aims to empower developers to build security applications, contrasting with Ledger's closed ecosystem.Zach and Q discuss the meticulous design process behind Passport Prime, highlighting its unique industrial design, including a curved screen and CNC'd aluminum chassis. They emphasize the device's durability, featuring Gorilla Glass and a high-quality IPS touchscreen display.The conversation shifts to the device's capabilities, which extend beyond a typical hardware wallet. Passport Prime supports various applications, including a 2FA codes app, a security key application, a file browser with a unique AirLock feature, and a seed vault app. These features make it a Swiss army knife for personal security, allowing users to securely store and manage their digital assets.KeyOS, the operating system powering Passport Prime, is introduced as a microkernel-based OS written in Rust, offering modularity, resilience, and enhanced security. The open-source nature of KeyOS allows third-party developers to create apps for the platform, with Cake Wallet being the first to integrate.The episode also covers the innovative Quantum Link Bluetooth, which ensures secure communication between Passport Prime and smartphones.

"Do not excessively covet swords and daggers made by famous masters. Even if you can own a sword or dagger worth 10,000 pieces (hiki, equivalent of 10 mon), it can be overcome by 100 spears each worth 100 pieces. Therefore, use the 10,000 pieces to procure 100 spears, and arm 100 men with them. You can in this manner defend yourself in time of war."- The Seventeen-Article Injunction of Asakura ToshikageIn this special episode, I had the privilege of speaking with a developer from the Ashigaru open source project, who joined us under the pseudonym Ashigaru Dev to discuss their work on Ashigaru. To protect their identity, they used a voice changer, highlighting the risks faced by privacy advocates in today's digital landscape.We discussed the motivations behind the creation of the Ashigaru, a project born from the need to continue the legacy of the Samourai Wallet after its development ceased. The Ashigaru team, composed of long-time users and developers familiar with the programming languages, initially made improvements for personal use before realising the broader community could benefit from their work.The conversation covered the enhancements made to the software, including updates to the post-mix spend features and the expanded Paynym ecosystem. We discussed the challenges of maintaining privacy in Bitcoin transactions without tools like Whirlpool and explored alternative methods such as peer-to-peer coin joins and atomic swaps.We also touched on the importance of building trust within the community, especially for non-technical users who rely on others to verify the safety and integrity of open-source projects. The Ashigaru team is committed to transparency and encourages user feedback to improve the application.In the wake of the Samourai project being dismantled by government decree, remember this: do not be overly attached to the singular, high-profile software solutions that once defined the success. Its value can be matched by tens of hundreds of developers, each armed with simple, robust, and widely accessible tools. Let's use the spirit, the knowledge, and the resources we have to forge a new initiative, one that embodies the strength of many rather than the complexity of one. In this way, we can continue to innovate, resist, and thrive, proving that multi-pronged resilience is greater than any single point of failure.LINKS:ASHIGARU - https://ashigaru.rsDONATE TO ASHIGARU - https://ashigaru.rs/donate/DOJO OPENSOURCE PROJECT - https://github.com/Dojo-Open-Source-ProjectSENTINEL - https://github.com/wanderingking072/sentinel-androidASHIGARU GITEA (TOR) - http://ashicodepbnpvslzsl2bz7l2pwrjvajgumgac423pp3y2deprbnzz7id.onionDONATE TO SAMOURAI - https://www.p2prights.org/donate.htmlFREESAMOURAI - https://freesamourai.comBTC SESSIONS DOJO VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aykJ4eP-VeoK3TAN DOJO VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_It4xEIwRAVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME CLOTHING @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/store/- BUY SOME ART!! @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/art-gallery/CAKE WALLEThttps://cakewallet.comCake Wallet is an open-source, non-custodial wallet available on Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux.Features:- Built-in Exchange: Swap easily between Bitcoin and Monero.- User-Friendly: Simple interface for all users.Monero Users:- Batch Transactions: Send multiple payments at once.- Faster Syncing: Optimized syncing via specified restore heights- Proxy Support: Enhance privacy with proxy node options.Bitcoin Users:- Coin Control: Manage your transactions effectively.- Silent Payments: Static bitcoin addresses- Batch Transactions: Streamline your payment process.Thank you Cake Wallet for sponsoring the show!FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing British Hodl to discuss how much Bitcoin you need to retire! We also discuss how Bitcoin can break the power law, and surprise everyone in the face of an incoming recession and election.
Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.On this episode, permaculture expert, pleb miner and Meshtadellian Rev Hodl rejoins the show to talk about nostr, cultural capital and the happenings on the Michigan homestead.SHOW DISCUSSIONRev Hodl discusses his efforts to build a self-sustaining, circular economy centered around his Bitcoin-focused homestead. He explains how he integrates various systems like rabbit farming, cannabis cultivation, and Bitcoin mining to maximize efficiency and minimize waste. A key focus is developing a local Bitcoin community in Michigan, where Rev Hodl shares his knowledge and excess production with other Bitcoiners. This allows him to distribute his natural capital, like food and seeds, while also learning from others and strengthening the cultural capital of the group. Rev Hodl emphasizes the importance of avoiding centralized, KYC-based interactions in favor of building a decentralized, peer-to-peer economy within the Bitcoin community. He sees this as crucial for developing true resilience and self-reliance, rather than relying on traditional financial systems.Throughout, Rev Hodl highlights the permaculture principles guiding his approach - minimizing waste, maximizing productivity, and cultivating mutually beneficial relationships. He sees this as a model for how Bitcoin communities can thrive by focusing on the holistic development of various forms of capital, not just financial.8 Forms of Captial: https://www.7thgenerationdesign.com/creating-resilient-wealth/Michigan Bitcoiners: https://michiganbitcoiner.com/Nostr: https://njump.me/npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z1st Podcast Appearance: https://ungovernablemisfits.com/podcast/bud-bunnies-bitcoin-and-permaculture/IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comSHOW SPONSORSFOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.On this episode, Fountain creator and developer, Oscar Merry joins Max for a coffee to discuss all things podcasting, Nostr and Fountain.SHOW DISCUSSIONOscar shares insights into the goals of Fountain, particularly in enhancing user experience with Lightning and making podcasting more accessible and valuable for both listeners and podcasters.We also explore the challenges and opportunities presented by Nostr, a protocol that Oscar believes will be the social layer of open podcasting. We discuss the integration of Nostr into Fountain, the potential for cross-app interactions, and the importance of an open, collaborative approach to podcasting. Oscar addresses the complexities of key management in Nostr and shares his optimism about the protocol's future.Throughout the conversation, we reflect on the importance of community feedback and the role of open-source collaboration in challenging major platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Oscar's commitment to improving Fountain and his vision for the future of podcasting 2.0 powered by Lightning and Nostr are both inspiring and promising.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comSHOW SPONSORSFOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.On this episode, the inaugural guest, Kerim, makes a home visit to speak with Max.Show DiscussionIf you're here solely for Bitcoin content, you might want to skip this one, as we delve into a myriad of topics ranging from lost worlds, drug use, history, angels, demons, and gods. The audio quality isn't the best, as it was recorded in my kitchen with only one shared mic, but I hope it's still enjoyable.We begin with a discussion on the nature of reality and imagination, exploring how they intertwine and influence each other. Kerim shares his experiences with psychedelics, particularly ketamine, and how these have led to profound insights and encounters with entities. We delve into the concept of shared visions and telepathy, questioning the boundaries of perception and consciousness.The conversation takes a turn towards ancient history and mythology, as Kerim discusses the Hermetic principles and their impact on his understanding of the world. We explore the idea of ancient civilizations, lost continents like Lemuria and Mu, and the potential existence of advanced technologies in the past.Kerim shares a personal story from a festival where he believes he encountered entities through other people, leading to a deep existential crisis and a reevaluation of reality. We discuss the nature of good and evil, the influence of secret societies, and the potential for magic and spells in the modern world.Throughout the episode, we touch on various conspiracy theories, the influence of ancient aliens, and the cyclical nature of human consciousness. It's a wild ride of a conversation, blending personal anecdotes with speculative theories, all while questioning the very fabric of our reality.LAST EPISODE WITH KERIM: https://episodes.fm/1491067458/episode/YWEyZmI0OGEtMmI2Mi00ZjI1LWI1YzUtNTUxZTI3NGVkZjUzIMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.com https://p2prights.org/donate.htmlSHOW SPONSORSFOUNDATION (https://foundation.xyz/ungovernable)Foundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.
