- Living on a bitcoin standard can be tough in bear markets

- Increasing financial freedom with a Self-managed Superannuation Fund

- Rusty's bitcoin journey, including working with Tone Vays and Michael Saylor and joining the meme factory (PS: fuck you Greg)

- The power of memes in conveying messages and shifting narratives

- Max Keiser is the final form of all bitcoiners

- Having a spiritual connection with bitcoin

- Appreciating the incentives model of the whole bitcoin ecosystem

- Money is always hierarchical, but bitcoin provides equality in rules

- Threats to bitcoin: changing the code (or not being able to change the code when issues like the block header overflow bug arise)

- Toxic bitcoin maximalism as a cultural immune system for bitcoin (and it comes from a place of love not vitriol)
