Peter, I’d love to hear you talk way more in-depth on your business ventures. Hopefully you do that on this pod and on your own show!

Agreed, plus the impacts on Bedford. The conversation with @nat brunell was brilliant and ventures down that path. It is worth listening to and linked below.

For me, it sowed the seeds of a desire to dive deeper into the impacts (direct or indirect) felt by the average Bedford civilian over time alongside an analysis of what is and is not working based on Peter’s approach to the problems for which he is trying to solve. The latter can be subjective to the individual defining each - what works and what does not - but also objective based on economic metrics.

What could others learn from his path in Bedford and take to their own town?

It will be interesting to follow and see how various stakeholders answer that question.

@MartyBent has there been any thought to a version of Opportunity Cost that converts prices to hours of work?

I’m unsure on programming feasibility, but am envisioning the individual inputting their hourly rate which all conversions would be based on. As a result, they see how many hours they would have to work to pay for the item they are viewing, providing a pricing perspective unique to the individual.

“Stop delegating your health, your finances, your job, your education, to what everyone else is thinking and telling you to do. It's beyond me that common sense and first principles are totally lost on the majority of the population. And so I'm going to share some things that are important by going all in on Bitcoin, but I consider them logical.

Like, for one, do not exceed your means. If you live a lifestyle that is reliant on Bitcoin being a specific price, that's a problem. I would say, do not spend more than you make.

Be humble, stack sats means don't force Bitcoin to afford your lifestyle. Your work and value you provide to the world should afford your lifestyle. Do not confuse and conflate the two.

Bitcoin's price appreciation is not your proof of work. Obviously, you can, you know, at a later date, when you're comfortable, sell some Bitcoin, buy a house or something. But do not mistake in a bull run as the value you provided to the world.

It can correct. And so live within your means.” - Jack Mallers

nobody has a crystal ball but this is my current vibe: 12-18 more months of this bull cycle fed will cut rates, we will likely rip this fall, will likely continue through 2026, intensity and price ...

Regardless of the sentiment’s accuracy, the two most important words here are the two most likely to be overlooked. The mind will naturally wander along the optimistic route looking for confirmation from those with clout while ignoring the risks along the way.

Leverage, for institutional and retail investors, should be understood before deployed. Particularly for the latter, as it will become incredibly easy to ignore the severity of not doing so as numbers rise and blinders become cemented.

Those will be the ones returning to this post wondering how they forgot to stay humble.

Found myself asking questions that @preston later asked, stopping to take notes countless times, and thinking how powerful this conversation was for anyone to listen to regardless of what bias or knowledge they may have (or think they have).

Worth listening to and sharing.

Also, I’m willing to discuss with anyone and share notes.

This was a great podcast. One that got me thinking a lot of the future and how the trajectory of so many lives will change once adopting Bitcoin. Now it’s up to us to decide who/how we’ll be. I really liked the C’s vs P’s of happiness and the inward and outward focus of those

Great conversation. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the idea of contention being a strength for bitcoin.

PSG’s announcement of a Bitcoin treasury reiterates the belief that sports would be an excellent vehicle to get Nostr and zaps into the mainstream. Leagues, teams, individual athletes, and even venues can interact with fans as they show support to each other through zaps.

Athletes climbing the ranks could accumulate sats as teams broadcast their in-game stats and fans respond with more than “likes”.

Fans showing the greatest support could get individual feedback from teams or athletes in the form of zaps.

You tip everyone from your Uber driver to your barista, why not the athletes you watch via zaps?

Olympics could be the catalyst.
