thanks for the great content.

don’t mellow out too much Svetski, the angst is entertaining

nice casual talk

at 1:21 svetski sees no critical reason to run a node. he asks a one liner. the one liner I normally use is: “do you do a money transaction yourself or let someone else do it for you? if someone else does it for you they potentially know everything about you and your bitcoin. do you want to share this information? additionally you’re verifying and strengthening the the largest pleb payment network on the planet.” hope this helps svetski’s mom😉Great talk!

running a node: “do you want to be able to make a decision for yourself and follow through yourself, or do you want to make a decision yourself and depend on a stranger to follow through?”

1/ SO much good in this episode. to begin: 'why run your own node?' ("1st class citizens") --> not your keys, not your coin. (we all get this) --> not your firmware, not your hash. (are you hashing??) --> not your node, not your vote (think: monetary policy / blocksize wars, etc). as Marty said 'participation'. but beyond that ... and beyond NGU ... there IS a war going on. it's spiritual (IMHO) and we need to pick our side. not with words, but with action. this is yet another GREAT ep. ke-keiaa

2/ could you please spell out 'te-kiaa' ? I know its just a word-ish thing, but ... how do YOU spell it? LOL. keep it up mate!

3/ ok, all girls schools Vs all boys schools. BOYS benefit from single sex/gender schools (thinking 10+ age), yet GIRLS benefit from co-ed (again, 10+) schools. Why? well, thats hardly the point (but to elaborate, boys get distracted, yet girls are ...) so what do we do here? a bit of a conundrum (IFF i am right in my assertion). 'home-schooling' is best, for those that engage in 'conscious parenting' and have the willpower/resources / dedication to our kids. ... .next (laterzzz)

(cont'd) DUNBAR's number IS important to keep in mind. eg I just refactored my contact list. it was WAY over dunbar's number. it's much betterer now. still trying to figure out exactly how many 'bitcoin friends' i have. thought it was 20+. probably under 5.

MARTY: vary your likes. 10 sats??? gimme a break. you're off zero (more than MOST), so live a little, mix it up ... try liking different amounts (or not). V4V RULES! (see what i did there? lol)

Hoping Svetski keeps his Pod going. V4V is just taking off.

Really illuminating, thank you Aleks and Marty. We all have our role to play in the change that is coming. I often think what kind of person ought I be in a Bitcoin future? What does Bitcoin thinking mean for me? My answer is training of the body through Jiu Jitsu and a 2 meal a diet, literature and the arts: reading and learning from the greats who came before me, in my practice: proof of work, being humble, and following the passion. It is all connected!

I’ll listen to anything with Svetski.

wow aleks is way toned down

Quality muthafucka

🤙🏼

Great talk on responsability, quality, focus and much more,… Looking forward to Svetski’s book!

life responsibility, what’s your mission men? what keeps your feet in the sand? love the topics, live your thoughts. I will look for your book sir..

Deep, fraternal friendships are very important. Solid rip, Marty.
