Vlad hosts the best podcasts by far and isn't afraid to call out bullshit and have difficult conversations. Sad to see so many bad takes in the comments. Bitcoiners needs to have chronic unless, to keep our eye on the goal and not settle for a banker controlled asset.

Vlad has the best podcasts, hands down. Listen before dismissing him. I’m not as cynical, but I agree: Bitcoin has veered toward maximum NGU rather than maximum freedom and liberty. No native privacy and no practical scaling (not everyone can have a Lightning channel) are real limitations. The incentives will drive privacy eventually, because the powerful won't need the state once they can hide their wealth. When fiat and the state collapse, most people won’t be sovereign, they’ll be serfs to the Lords who bought Bitcoin with leverage. Ironically, “Bitcoin Only” is starting to look like the new psyop. True resistance may come from altcoins, but they’re vulnerable to 51% attacks. At scale, high transaction fees will reduce UTXO access to institutions. Dishonest banks will outcompete honest ones, and we’ll be back to free banking, with all its instability and collapses.

Yeah, use them if you want to get pegged by the government.

They are called 'pegged coins' now

The Council didn’t create doctrine, it clarified what Christians already believed, using texts that had been circulating for centuries. The key issue was the divinity of Christ, challenged by Arius. The council affirmed that Jesus is of the same essence (homoousios) as the Father, a conclusion drawn directly from Scripture, John 1:1 ("the Word was God"), John 10:30 ("I and the Father are one"), and Colossians 2:9 ("in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives"). Far from being a political invention, the Nicene Creed defended the long held understanding of Christ's divine nature. The council formalised what churches were already teaching, not to appease Constantine, but to protect the theological integrity of the faith.

How does spaces bypass ICANN, you only register your name on chain? Also, why is it capped at 3600 spaces per year? That means most people need to trust someone to give them a subspace.

Ten years ago, I walked through a museum in Berlin, learning about life in East Germany under communism. The stories seemed like distant history, extreme, even unimaginable. But today, they don’t feel so far off. These aren’t just old museum plaques. They’re warnings. The tools look different. The language is softer. But the trend is disturbingly familiar. History doesn’t repeat. But it does rhyme.

Don't vote is a psyop. Even is you are disinterested in politics, politics is still interested in you.

You can see boats and ships pop up on the horizon if the air temperature and water temperature are the same, like in the tropics.

But Aids? It's not that some of the other conspiracies aren't true, but that he demonstrates a lack of discernment in holding them all.

The cancer thing. He has claimed that Aids is not real. Chemtrails. 911. The fact he supports nearly every conspiracy theory suggests he is either likely to believe anything, or is into sensationalism to promote himself.

None of the Jekyll island stuff was objectionable, just that he is a proponent of other conspiracy theories

I felt the same way. The creature from Jekyll island was enjoyable, but the conspiracy theory portrayal put me off a bit.

Where is this?

Writing a cheque and sending a fax

What? I come from the southern hemisphere, I can see the angle of the sun there at that time of year that's in the north, then I travel and see it around the horizon. Draw triangles. It only works if the earth is round.

If you get a chance go to the Arctic circle in summer and you will see the sun move around the horizon. This is not possible on a flat earth. It's a pretty cool experience, I did it in St Petersburg a few years ago
