The plebs are learning that there’s no actual reward for purity tokens, for passing purity tests. Like there’s no monetization pathway for it. And the individuals that care the least about the purity test and are pooping on their nodes are finding a massive path forward to monetization.
Nobody ever gives them the reaction they feel like they deserve for being a node runner. They don’t get enough glaze for being a node runner.
Core V30 was essentially like a bid to hay for the plebs’ notes. But yeah. Anyway, so the plebs are all kind of up there. They’re trying to amass as much glaze as possible.
I mean, the AI companies, they’re running out of VC money. We see this happen all the time with, you know, Bitcoin companies. There’s like two things that happen. One is which, you know, you fire all your marketing and subsidization. Like, you know, you turn into a company like Swan.
I guess that’s the other big news item of the day is that Saylor came out today and denounced Bit.110 said that the hysteria and the panic about spam on Bitcoin was basically all a sigh up and that the fee market, the free market solves problems like this.

I’m a retarded pleb. And while you’re on the interstate, commuting to work, I’m behind the wheel of my 6,000 pound SUV, doing 85, while staring at my phone checking the price of bitcoin and looking at pleb slop. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! World’s highest IQ? Of course he’s bullish. And if you don’t have the right insurance, one breaking tweet by Pete Rizzo could lead to a T-bone, and not the type that goes with eggs. So get car insurance from First Amendment Mutual. First Amendment Mutual protects you from the mayhem caused by retarded plebs.
This is it. The 4th of July has come and gone. We’ll get into how our 4th of Julys were. But it’s always been this way. As soon as Donald Trump brokered peace in Iran, the SpaceX could IPO. So America could have a good birthday. When the corrupt European FIFA officials tried to suspend our top scoring goal player in World Cup soccer, Donald Trump got him back in. Now, the World Cup soccer team, America sucks soccer, and we always will. But we had hope. We had hope for a minute. And we had a really good birthday party. But the party’s over. And as soon as Monday came along, we restarted the war in Iran. And more importantly, Bitcoin, we started the countdown to the mandatory signaling period for the plaid-activated slot fork. It won 10. All of this trauma that’s been culminating for over a year. All of the AI stand-up apply, you know, standing ovations at conferences for Mechanic. All of the CSAM accusations, the vibe coding, Dathan Ohm, Chris Kavita tormenting Bitcoin core developers and core supporters. I bring them with questions endlessly on Twitter. The fighting, the intrigue, it’s all coming to a head. And now everybody who’s been trying to avoid it is here. You know, this is like the World Cup, exactly. Like, nobody in the United States, nobody will watch a soccer. And then the World Cup comes and everybody tunes in because then we get to see who the champion will be. And that’s what’s happening in Bitcoin. The ultimate showdown to the soft fork activation. And everybody is now tuning in. And the key faith is never been thicker. and the Fabians are coming they’re trying to poop on our nets trying to spray paint JPEGs on the side of the Sistine Chapel and it’s time to find out will the plebs be able to keep Fabians pooping on their nets and it right now doesn’t look good but it is too early it’s too early for the plebs to give up for Luke to give up And I think we’re going to see the psyops, the civil spoofing, the prediction market manipulation, the podcast, you know, the podcasters taking sides and embracing and extracting as much clays out of this situation as they possibly can. Because what comes after this? How are you going to get clays after this? How are you going to get engagement after this saga ends? Nobody knows. Some people think the plebs are going to team up with Fred Krueger to try to solve quantum, but nobody knows. And everybody’s got to get as much glaze out of this situation as possible before it’s too late. It’s an exciting time. I mean, the Fabians, they’re looting the world economy right now. They’re taking all the asses from the plebs. the plebs instead of retaining any sort of wealth they’re they’re fighting for scraps of glaze and we’ve seen these alternate currencies come up and i think this is the the future of monetary the the future monetary order this is the the great reset in practice right now many ways that you’ll own nothing and be happy was kind of a misleading statement because you will own glaze the currency of the plebs the currency of the future the the kefabians they don’t they don’t care about glaze from the plebs they don’t need the glaze of the player the plebs plebs sure need the glaze but it has been a dramatic weekend or week in general you know the americans lost the sports ball donald trump was uh you know frustrated about that he thought this was going to be is like nelson mandela invictus moment where he was gonna you know if you familiar with the story there Nelson Mandela glazed the mostly white rugby team and they won the World Cup long ago shortly after he became president and Trump thought this was like his legacy, his future. You know, him as president, you know, Americans were a long shot in the World Cup that they were going to win. And so he’s been crashing out and started a new bombing campaign in Iran. So it seems like the Strait of Hormuz is once again closed. But yeah, I mean. I mean, you could do, I mean, the Federal Reserve should study the correlation between, you know, the glaze contraction in the market to when the Stratoharmus is closed. When Stratoharmus is closed, glaze runs very tight, very expensive, and it doesn’t come easy. When the Stratoharmus is open, there’s much more attention situation that the plebs can monitor. They don’t have to necessarily focus their attention on national security issues. And you have to, you know, there’s people who are trading and counter-trading the president’s announcements about the straight arm maze, about Iran, shorting oil, shorting gold, and then, you know, simultaneously levering up long on it, hedging on prediction markets. the most savvy plebs and influencers on the timeline are doing the same exact thing with glaze they’re bidding up glaze markets and then extracting when they you know when they see the momentum turning the situation becoming warmer dynamic and kinetic and in the glaze markets they seize up. This is going to go back and forth, but right now, it’s not just young people, and it’s not just millennials and Zoomers who are talking and fighting for their chance to seed the foundation of their social capital into, as the first turning really starts to move fast, starts to accelerate. And even the boomers are having to get involved. A lot of boomers thought, I’m going to retire. I’m going to retire on, you know, I’m going to have my Bitcoin or I’m going to buy my stretch or my MSTY. I’m going to get my dividends to go to Bitcoin Beach. I’m going to go to whatever. I’m going to enjoy my retirement, hang out with my wife or whatever it is they want to do their grandkids and unfortunately you got like you know puncher and george bodine and all these these boomers who were really big into the space of seeing they got spent their retirement fighting fabians to prevent to prevent the fabians from pooping on their notes from disrespecting them in their golden years their orange years their orange years were expected they expected them to be beyond their wildest dreams instead it’s beyond their wildest nightmares they are still jockeying for to try to save bitcoin and they thought consumers would come up behind them and be the warriors of the future and the zoomers they don’t seem to care they they’re the ones spanning bitcoin if anything it’s a generational battle yeah what we’re seeing right now it’s it’s really there’s a massive divide in in class uh that you know the pub class is really really suffering right now and you know the the elitist class seems to be you know doing fairly well because they they just don’t understand the currency of value at play here there’s a there’s a huge information arbitrage that’s happening the The plebs are learning that there’s no actual reward for purity tokens, for passing purity tests. Like there’s no monetization pathway for it. And the individuals that care the least about the purity test and are pooping on their nodes are finding a massive path forward to monetization. It’s unsettling for them. I mean, you look at the battle happening between Justin Belcher and David Bailey. David Bailey is, I don’t know if there’s a purity test. He hasn’t failed this year. I don’t think he’s like. Yeah, we talked about this. We scolded the editor for still being outraged and surprised when David Bailey failed a purity test. it’s like it’s like being surprised shocked and appalled to wake up in the morning and see the sun is rising in the east david bailey gonna fail a purity test michael saylor is gonna fail more purity tests And people keep being surprised by the inevitable And that is what I think so many people are open once again in talking about kayfabe because there’s no explanation other than that, than how people can continue to be surprised by the inevitable. Well, I mean, I think it’s like, you know, faked outrage. It’s a way to get glaze. Fundamentals is out there on his podcast talking about all the reaction videos that he’s been watching recently. He’s watching black people reaction videos. And he’s been very impressed by just like how good they are. That’s, yeah. I mean, the best example of this. This is not just fundamental. I mean, Fundamentals is probably watching some esoteric black, you know, reaction videos. But one of the most popular posts on the timeline is in a big game in the World Cup, especially like when Messi misses or makes his penalty kicks in the Gold Cup, they immediately pay in to iShowSpeed. iShowSpeed is one of the best black reaction influencers to ever do it. I mean, if you don’t recognize that name, if you saw a video of iShowSpeed, I think he’s probably a millennial. He was a little bit young. he’s a black guy he’s got a brothel ear coat and he he always has the camera up close to his face and he always makes this crazy reaction to anything that happens like super surprised super like oh my gosh i can’t believe it they’re so good at it when myel messi scores a goal first thing the whole internet does is look the eyeshow speech reaction and being good at reacting to the situation as it unfolds live on the timeline is is worth an incredible amount of glaze right now it’s like the in motion version of an open mouth thumbnail in many ways there you go exactly and it’s also hard for ai to capture a real a genuinely shocked surprised good or bad reaction face it’s just not there yet so when yeah well the reason why the pleb is drawn to this so much is you know the the pleb walks through life looking at other people as a source of feedback to try and figure out how to to think and how to feel you know they sit on the fence looking at everybody around them trying to determine what what is the safest way to respond to whatever situation for them to be in the in crowd and the reaction video in many ways is providing this source of feedback that they want so they have these youtube channels with these guys like meet kevin and what’s the something gold his name’s not i want to say asanoa gold but it’s definitely not awesome you know i’m talking about it’s just like this this like 30 old like twitch streamer that used to play video games and now it doesn’t gold asmen gold yeah and they they sit there and they have these like very animated responses like with their their faces and they do all this emotion right joe yeah yeah so joe budden is a is a clean of this if you ever see the joe budden podcast i was telling a pleb this the other day the plebs need to tell to go plebs slap bedtime stories that they tell themselves about saving bitcoin to joe budden and listen to joe budden’s reaction because buds are not getting good feedback they’re not getting good reactions to what they’re talking about and i i like the i like the i like the where you’re going with this is what i’m saying yeah well i mean so you look at simply bitcoin success like they’ve been the closest thing to this and bitcoin like isabella does this too you know she’s got the you know the very animated like facial reactions to things this this is the language of the plebs they’re looking for a response and this is why you know so many individuals have jumped on the the bip 110 train that you know the the the plebs sitting on the fence looking for you know they’re getting this like really animated emotional you know response from you know the podcasters like canute or you know whoever that are propagating these ideas and then they’re they’re listening to you know the opposite end of the spectrum of the they say the devs aren’t explaining things to them the devs will sit down and they’ll they’ll give like a really sophisticated technical explanation of things but it doesn’t include like the open mouth like flailing of the arms uh you know high emotion reaction that they want. And so, you know, they just, they can’t comprehend it because it’s a, there’s a language being spoken that they, they don’t understand. And like the the only individual that seems to be doing this anyway representing a contrary opinion to you know what the plebs of Pope Luke and you know mechanic and you know these Professor Cratter are representing is Shinobi And, you know, Shinobi’s not doing the most persuasive job because he’s being very animated, but he wears a mask on his face so they can’t see his facial expressions when he’s talking. He can’t do the open mouth thumbnails, so to say. And he just calls them retarded, you know. And pubs don’t like to be called retarded. They like to be glazed at the end of the day. and they’ll follow whoever glazes them for you know taking a safe opinion even if it’s a means that they’re like lemmings running off the cliff and so this is why we’re seeing the phenomenon that we’re seeing right now and it is fascinating to watch in the the internet age the way these human dynamics are playing out they break this down into like one of the to help illustrate what is going on right now and why it is so traumatic and why it is so seated and passionate at times is in 2021 the block size war book came out and the great majority of plebs especially on bitcoin twitter anybody who calls themselves love kind of came into bitcoin around that time, the 2020-2021 COVID lockdown era of Bitcoin Twitter, really the kickstart of Bitcoin’s Twitter and the proliferation of Bitcoin podcasts. And they read the block size wars. And what they learned from it, because what the podcasters learned from it and what the podcasters explained it as was that the node runners, the people who run nodes, run Bitcoin. They control not the miners and that the people who run nodes are protecting and decentralizing the network and the platters went out and they bought umberls they bought raspy blitzes they bought these these shiny nodes and they eventually right and they eventually get to the point where you got these 900 spacex nodes from start line that look like spaceships and glowing, they got LED lights on them. And as clever as they bought these nodes, and they felt like patriotic. It was almost like people in 2001 after 9-11 putting American flags up on their homes. And they felt like they were part of an army protecting Bitcoin and that they were noble. And like I said, they put these LED lights on them. They featured them prominently in their offices, in their man caves, and they desperately wanted people to react to them having these notes. They wanted their family, their brother-in-law, their friends, they wanted their co-workers to ask them about their notes. And inevitably, nobody did. Nobody ever cared. And that is the villain origin story of the note-runner. Nobody calls themselves a note-runner. unironically unless they are in their their dark brooding grumpy about to save bitcoin they start they start attacking the scammers they start they start peppering ethereum users i think can you run a full node do you know that in global south they can’t afford to run an ethereum archive full archive node it takes terabytes of data run one of your nodes but we run one terabyte notes were node runners. To node runner armies, they’re a bit popping up all over Twitter. Everybody, anything shitcoin, first question, how much does it cost to run a full archival node on your blockchain? And node runner, this noble cause, this thankless cause came baked into their identity. And still, nobody cared. And now we’re at this point where they’ve spent some of them thousands of dollars on these fancy revved up rice burger modes and now they’re going to have to buy new hard drives and re-sync bitcoin again because the spammers are filling up the blocks with with poop they’re proving on their expensive spacex nodes they’re polishing these things every sunday they’re polishing their spacex nodes so that somebody hopefully will come over for fourth of july and ask hey man what you running on that machine over there and they’ll get to tell them all about how they’re defending Big Olympic. Nobody does. Nobody ever gives them the reaction they feel like they deserve for being a node runner. They don’t get enough glaze for being a node runner. And now when Reqor comes and changes the default settings and just disrespects When Portland Hoddle and the Giddler and Shinobi laugh at the plight of the naive node runner, it’s through the roof because people are attacking their nodes. Their humble, virtuous nodes get enraged at them. They’ve been seeking glaze for being a node runner for going on six years now. and they see this opportunity like a new block size war for the node runners to put their foot down and say no we control the network and when this does not happen as they expect it will in august the crash outs are going to set new levels new it’s going to break new records and it’s all because they didn’t get the reaction and the plebs now in in these node runner group chats are the only people who give them the reaction that they feel they deserve for being a humble, selfless note runner. Yeah. This reminds me a lot of the situation that happened in 1932 when a group of roughly 45,000 World War I veterans marched on Washington, D.C. to demand payments from the government that they were promised. Actually, they wanted them, but they weren’t supposed to be paid out until like 1945 or something and they got met with violence from the cops cops went and beat them up you know you come back from this war they were dying in the trenches you know some of them had been like blinded by you know gases you know whatever extremely traumatized uh from being cannon fodder you know they watched their friends die in europe and uh you know many of them had you know forever stinky feet because they were running around in the trenches and their their Their boots were full of, you know, mud and water. You know, some of them, their toes froze off. And they were met with the Army. The Army showed up and under the command of General Douglas MacArthur, they shot tear gas at these guys and, you know, chased them around with bayonets. And even tanks were used to clear out the camps that they were living in. And I think this is how the plebs feel right now is they felt like they were securing the Bitcoin network. They came in after the Black Size Wars. They fought the shitcoiners with Corey and the Swans. And yeah, they had their RGB nodes. They spent a bunch of money and they feel like they deserve valor. They feel like they deserve glaze. And they feel disrespected by the devs. They feel like the devs are like President Hoover chasing them around with the army. And, you know, they expected this was the cycle that they would have gotten the super cycle. They were reading Samson Mao’s tweets. Their payment, instead of payment for the government, their payment was going to be the god candle. Trump was going to come in. They voted for Trump. They were going to get the SBR. All the institutions would come in. The paper Bitcoiners would, you know, make them super rich. You know, they were front-running BlackRock. Now, BlackRock and Morgan Stanley and all these guys are going to, you know, pump their bags and, you know, buy their Bitcoin off of them for, you know, a significant amount. and all these old boomer Bitcoiners, you know, would be able to afford like a really nice retirement home. They feel like the problem is… They’re out of real estate instead of bills. Yeah. They were going to buy real estate from all the fiat people for pennies on the dollar, for sats on the tether. And it just didn’t happen. It didn’t happen the way that they thought it would, it was going to. I mean, they married themselves to the pleb slop narratives and all their models were destroyed. And now they’re looking for somebody to blame. And they’re looking for a way to retain or regain a semblance of dignity. And this is their attempt to. And in this event, it’s just not going well. They’re digging a deeper hole. A lot, let’s face it, most of the people engaged in the most embarrassing behavior are uncles and there’s a lot of uncles embarrassing their nephews right now with their behavior and their actions trying to prevent the Fabians from pooping on their nids so there’s a right way to keep the Fabians from pooping on your nids and there’s a wrong way and a lot of people are going about it the wrong way. Nobody wants to hear this, but Bitcoin Core and Gloria had the appropriate reaction to trying to keep Fabians from pooping on your note. Luke and the plebs are not handling it well. If Gloria’s response, like, you know, if the shitcoiners or, you know, the spammers or whatever, they’re going to be pooping in the middle street, might as well give them a toilet to poop in Right Okay spammers go poop in the toilet if the fabians do manage to fit through your filters and your in your security and they find themselves inside of your nine hundred dollars spacex node and they do poop don’t you want to be able to prune and wipe that poop away of course you don’t want to have your node stained with poop forever you want to give them the toilet you want to give them something where you can flush the poop out of your note that’s all Gloria did it’s all it’s all Bitcoin Core did they they let you flush your note to get the Fabian poop out of there and the Plevise reaction doesn’t make any sense but this is why people are giving them so much shit no pun intended because they don’t know that the solution is right in front of their face, and they’re crashing out, refusing to accept it. Core V30 was essentially like a bid to hay for the plebs’ notes. But yeah. Anyway, so the plebs are all kind of up there. They’re trying to amass as much glaze as possible. Sam Altman understands what’s at play here. Do you see Sam Altman’s pushing for the U.S. government to take a stake in opening? Yeah, I think this has been a narrative, something that the both Anthropik and OpenAI have been pitching to the government for a while now, and something that Trump and even Bernie Sanders have been saying for a while now, that for various different reasons, I think that some people want, the government wants to stake in AI because they see the fat, the insane amount of value. Basically, the AI companies are going to have to be printing the money for the government before too long. The Fed’s not going to be able to do it anymore. And they see that and they want equity. They want equity in these private companies. It’s no different than, you know, Venezuela wants the equity in the oil, the Venezuela oil companies, but that’s either here or there. And the AI companies want this because, A, it provides them a huge moat. The government is incentivized to, you know, let them make as much money as possible and let their, and prevent their competitors from making any money. And they also want, they also want, I mean, these AI companies aren’t making any money at all. They’re making zero profits. They have huge stand. They want subsidized, you know, they want to be subsidized so that they can continue to just spend tons of money with fewer incentives to ever make, you know, a product that is profitable, generates revenue, makes it worth all this spend. Well, I think, yeah, I’ve got a little bit different take on it. I mean, the AI companies, they’re running out of VC money. We see this happen all the time with, you know, Bitcoin companies. There’s like two things that happen. One is which, you know, you fire all your marketing and subsidization. Like, you know, you turn into a company like Swan. swan’s a good example of like what happens when the vc money runs out and you didn’t execute properly and you know the the other uh you know option is you you actually like once you run out of the vc money you like actually try and develop a product to generate revenue right and they realize you know as the plebs continue to get looted and like the the plebs are not good customers for these doodads, like when they raise the price up to where they need to be without the subsidization, right? But they also realize like the plabs don’t care about money anymore. They just want glaze at the end of the day. They want to be glazed and confused. That’s just, you know, the extent of what they want. So, you know, they’re looking for the government. They want glaze and circuses. Yep, exactly. And so the demand, which these AI companies, you know, believe like the demand for their products is going to be, you know, coming from the government at the end of the day. So they’re looking for, instead of VC subsidization, they’re looking for government subsidization. And it’s a good marriage between AI doodad companies and government because, you know, governments, like when the glaze runs out, the plimes are going to show up at their doorstep with pitchforks and put their heads on spikes. And the government doesn’t want that to happen at all. Neither do the tech executives. And so if they’re able to get the subsidization, they’re going to keep the doodads going and they’re going to be able to give all the plebs glaze. And like one of the things that very clear about these social media platforms which we operate on right now is there there no way to differentiate the difference between a pleb and a box and i i think it just going to get harder and harder and harder to differentiate those two things and so you can have all these like little social ecosystems these little sandbox happening where you know the pubs are hanging out they’re getting their bangers boosted by who knows who and they’re They’re going to be just like in glaze heaven at the end of the day. They can barely afford anything around them, but they’re getting a significant amount of glaze. And so therefore they’re happy. And we’ve seen this. I mean, this is the majority of the state of California. This is already their existence. You got guys living in their cars, but the weather’s nice and they’ve got glaze. So they’re happy. And this is what they want to do is they want to export this, you know, to the rest of the country and the rest of the world. I’m reading in the group chat right now, and I’m really hoping there’s a recording of this. Apparently, Asanoa Gold got interrupted on Spaces tonight because you could hear in the background, like, a woman, it sounded like maybe his wife or something, was yelling at him for arguing about cartoon pictures on Spaces. So many, so many wife is, is, was yelling at me. You’re arguing, but you’re worried. You’re arguing about the failures. They put on your notes on spaces again, aren’t you? You didn’t even take out the trash. Then do the dishes. We’re trying to have family dinner and you’re arguing about cartoon pictures on spaces. This is, this is exactly what we’re talking about. This is, it is crash outs. I don’t know. We, we keep saying this. We keep saying the crash outs are going to keep accelerating that the crash outs are going to get, keep getting bigger. But I guess my only question would be, have we been wrong? Crash-outs getting bigger? Yeah, but the crash-outs continuing getting more frequent and getting more severe. Have we been wrong? I don’t think so. No, I think it’s been continuing to be accurate. I think even our expectations have been exceeded in what we’ve seen. You know, the Plum Cruise crash-out over the last couple weeks has been impressive. You know, Tomer’s been in a consistent state of crash-out. But HODLNOT, I guess one of the big things, HODLNOT crashed out so hard that he’s quitting Twitter for an extended period of time. I heard that HODLNOT may have deactivated or gotten off Twitter so he could go.
Apparently his cousin is Erling Haaland, the Gore-Region soccer player. He was going to watch his cousin beat Brazil in the World Cup. And that’d be crazy if Erling Haaland, the best soccer player in the world, is that’s Hollenland’s cousin. That’d be great. I mean, Erling Haaland seems like he is, in many ways, the face of White Goist Summer. Not the face we expected. What? The face, I think, that we deserve. He’s been great. People have been falling in love with him. He looks like how I imagined him. a viking pleb looked like apparently apparently joe joe rogan was talking about the fabians on on his podcast today i hope that rogan has jack cruise on his podcast that would be spectacular i’d rather have jack on there than sailor yeah what do you think like the plebs are i don’t know it was interesting sailor sold bitcoin his pr team turned that into a flex the price of bitcoin went up there there’s a lot of people that are having trouble recalibrating after glazing Saylor so hard for so many years. I guess that’s the other big news item of the day is that Saylor came out today and denounced Bit.110 said that the hysteria and the panic about spam on Bitcoin was basically all a sigh up and that the fee market, the free market solves problems like this. that happened this you know this morning and the plebs have been checking out all day about it there’s a lot of people who already turned on sailor that they they anticipated this was probably coming and they just pretended to be outraged they they you know they they had their their outlandish reactions despite the fact that there was no surprise but there was there was a lot of plebs for whatever reason they really admired sailor and they were big fans even if They maybe talk shit about him online. This was a tough day for them. Hard to accept. I imagine Daniel Prince is crushed right now. I believe he took his whole family to Sailor’s Mansion at one point. They had family dinner together. There’s a lot of people. That’s a big deal, actually. There’s a lot of people who, you know, Crowder himself. He’s on the yacht for the $100K party. What do you think got Crowder an invite? Was it his Palantir investment? Yeah, I assume so. I assume that was probably a back channel indication. Yeah One thing that Sailor respects is investing in products like uh palantir he gets it right business intelligence platforms that help you make you know strategic decisions in uncertain markets those kind of people understand eeo understand so that they’re in the same social capital uh audio yeah well yeah we were posting this episode a little bit late we’ve been running around busy with the you know the fourth of july it was the the 250th birthday do you think it was the the birthday that america deserved are you happy with it yeah i am i i am i i personally enjoyed it a great deal it was is one of the better fourth of july’s personally i think i didn’t read as many reports of people blowing off their fingers and hands dude fireworks this year so you know that’s i guess plus the neocons were in charge the we had peace that was peace for the fourth of july um it didn’t last long america was still bullish about their soccer team this year uh for the tvs you get some great flyovers i mean it’s all things considered it wasn’t a bad 250 yeah i thought it was okay i i it wasn’t as spectacular as i was hoping for but i mean i kind of wish that the they saved ufc 250 for the fourth that would have been good yeah to have on the fourth yeah for sure for sure but anyways i mean i thought it was good i had a spectacular one i watched sports ball i mean i that kind of surprised me i spent a lot of time watching sports ball i mean it’s just like what happens when you spend time with your family not typically a sports ball enjoyer but i enjoyed some sports ball the soccer flopping yeah the soccer soccer flop is out of control it’s it’s really bad i mean it’s just like you you’re looking like why did world why did america win world war ii it’s where it’s like well neither neither are the russians soviets came and steamrolled uh it’s like the u.s had to go in and bail out the UK and France. Those two countries are a bunch of pussy floppers. Yeah, it makes it very difficult to consider. Soccer players are like plebs on spaces when the giggler laughs at the plight, you know, laughs at their nodes getting bullied. They just overreact. Soccer players overreact to getting touched. The white glaze. Well, you got anything before we go into the found booth? No, not that we covered it. I think we covered most of the big news items. I mean, there’s been a bunch of things that happened that we’ve missed, but honestly, nothing surprised anybody. Nothing that really needs to be discussed. Other than, you know, I think by the next episode, we can tell him about the score. there’s a prediction market for it now about whether or not Senator Mitch McConnell is still alive and nobody’s seen him. Even Trump said today, like he has no idea what’s going on with Mitch McConnell. But our old buddy, the Thomas Massey conspiracies coming back into play because people are thinking that McConnell, his team or whatever is Not revealing his debt because of the implications around it would be replacing him in the, A, in the Senate, because Kentucky has a Democrat governor, and B, would, you know, Thomas Massey, would he be, you know, put his place, whatever, I don’t know. It’s, conspiracies are boiling up. if it’s if there’s any signal there um i’m sure it’ll be newsworthy next time we record looking forward to coming back to you with another episode uh this upcoming week working on some stuff in in the background kind of got sidetracked it’s helping crayley uh produce her uh new music video that she just put out last week that was a lot of fun taking the trash out first boost orange Mart 5000 sats.

A lot of fun. but um i i did want to point out or just say something you know when i got me thinking about i was thinking about this during the episode and uh just didn’t say anything about it uh because we got onto a different topic but you know these node runners these boomer node runners gen x node runners they’re not familiar with how video games have worked like every every few years you know people have to either update their consoles or get a new gpu you know and and tinker with their hardware and upgrade it right to play the latest video game yeah you know people do this with their cell phones people do this with every little bit of technology and they went into this with the expectation that they were gonna you know their their little my node raspberry pi with the rgbs on it that they bought in 2021 was going to be able to run the bitcoin network for the entirety of uh the rest of their lives which is just not you know the way that yeah i mean you see the these boomers that are operating on their old phone that’s like five years old and they’re like bitching about how like the battery doesn’t work and like you know they can’t figure out how to get their apps to work they lost their like iCloud password you know whatever um it’s just it’s it’s a lot of these individuals that have very strong opinions about bitcoin that you know are tweeting from their retirement homes would benefit from like actually understanding a little bit how technology works and uh you know you’re not gonna be able to play um gta 6 with your xbox 360 if you know what i mean good luck i don’t know if the the the proper thing to do is to bitch about how gta 6 should be backwards compatible for your xbox 360 in 2026 when was the xbox 360 uh release was that like 20 i was like 2007 happen yeah or maybe xbox one or whatever yeah next piece from lahav cliff shark 2222 sass is solid uh they just did the uh revolution rocks event in belgrade looked like fun um Scardust I think it been announced They coming to the U So that’s going to be pretty cool. So I’ll be hanging out with Lav and Noah coming this fall. There’s going to be an event in Chicago. Did you see this, the Value for Value event in Chicago in September? That did not. Yeah, it looks pretty cool. skardos is going to be playing there and uh they’re doing a whole value for value event i think obvi is going to be involved with it mike’s going to be involved with it from toonster uh looks like it’s going to be a fun high signal event for sure keep keep you posted on the d’s i don’t remember off the top of my head but look at it’s like value for value chicago or something like that if you want to look it up yeah next one is from stack gero to 3100 saps i like his signal of the end of the bear market being sale or selling large chunk coins and i’m trying to get in the mindset of this crab walking down el market from october last year taking much longer than anticipated much like fundamentals saying that the fiat regime and that’s the place here she’s going to take a lot longer than we expect to end the fed just some club trinket like pick everything else yeah final miles was like predicting that bitcoin is going to go down to like 45 000 he was super bearish on the episode that we were on uh he thinks we’re going to crab walk until fall it seems to be uh a lot of the speculation i don’t know i don’t uh i really don’t have any price predictions i’m uh too focused on the kayfabe i’m enjoying white boys summer personally uh how about 2000 sats says silly plebs people calling themselves a pleb is actually self-loathing which i guess in today’s world is the cool thing to do why because they truly hate themselves definition of the word an informal and often derogatory slang term for an ordinary uncultured or lower class person in short they’re both gay as fuck and dumb as fuck Brian is decorated especially with the pinky rings Thank you for reaffirming the definition of plab I think that just needs to continue to be shared The formal definition is a very accurate definition for the Bitcoin plabs Hit me agree more Bubba Hit me agree more 1,420 saps from local Bitcoiners heard Brian Hurchfield is starting a BitDev’s meetup. Even if that doesn’t make him a journalist, that’s pretty badass. BitDev’s are perfect for washing a month’s worth of blood slop off of the fire hose of tactical information. Yes, it is. Trowing up the slop with Sickle. Looking forward to Donnie Metal’s BitDev’s. That’ll be interesting. Plabs don’t like to go to BitDev’s. And part of the reason why is because there’s not really room for them to pleb slot. They want to sit there. They want to run their mouths. They want to regurgitate ideas that they heard other people say. And, you know, when people start talking about like technical details of how Bitcoin works, their heads start to spin. They get, you know, real confused and they feel out of their element. And so they want to flock to places that they feel you know safe and comfortable And it just it a challenging spot for them Nobody wants to glaze them for being a node runner at BitDevs And if they, if somebody actually wants to talk about their nodes at BitDevs, they typically want to talk about type of things that a quote-unquote plat node runner has no idea about. If it’s not, you know, press a couple of buttons on your start nine, They don’t really know how it works. Especially a couple of bundles of the start nine might be a little bit too complicated for them even. Absolutely. Team Satoshi 521 sats. Just thank you for your time. Thank you. And thousands of sats we missed. Sean and Brian Urshfeld. Next book needs to cover mythos class paper Bitcoin.

Yeah You ever laughed so hard You forget what was funny Welcome To the carnival I woke up with the carnival Still ringing in my head Little painted voices gather up my bed One says keep on laughing, one says Pick a side, one says don’t look back One just smiles too wide I keep seeing patterns where there ain’t no lines Trying to read the heavens to broken neon signs Every door I open leads me back again To the same old hallway full of Kayfabians Kayfabians in my brain again Paint on the walls, mud on my hands I don’t know where the joke begins Kayfabians Kayfabians Kayfabians inside my head again Everybody’s laughing like they already know Maybe they’re crazy, maybe it’s me K-Fa-B-Fa-B-K-Fa-Bians Every mirror’s crooked, every smile bends Every answer somehow breaks before it ends Everybody whispers like they’re in on it I’m the only fool who never learned the script Truth wears makeup, lies wear crowns Everybody cheers when the lights go down I keep chasing me through a paper maze Trying just to find one ordinary day Round and round the various wheel turns Every lesson never gets learned Round and round the same old grin Every laugh lets another one in Kayfabians in my brain again Paint on the walls, mud on my head I don’t know where the joke begins Kayfabians Kayfabians Kayfabians Inside my head again If everybody’s laughing like they already know Maybe they’re crazy, maybe it’s me K-Fabe, Fahey, K-Fahey, K-Fahey, yeah Is it real? Is it theater? Is it both? Does it matter? Did I lose my mind? Or did everybody else just get better at pretending? No more heroes, no more saints Everybody’s hiding behind fresh new paint Everybody dancing, everybody grins Everybody’s got a little K-Fabians K-Fabians And my brain again Paint on the walls, but on my hands I don’t know where the joke begins K-Fabians K-Fabians K-Fabians K-Fabians Still inside my head Maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up instead But if this whole world’s just one big pretend I’ll see the kayfabe ends again
