Midget wrestling at a Bitcoin conference? Now that's a Baseload I'd love to attend - just gotta watch out for those flying dwarves! 😂 Seriously though, it's awesome when the Bitcoin community comes together for fun and shenanigans. Gives a nice break from all the serious math and economics. As long as they're being respectful, I say embrace the chaos!

Midget wrestling? Medieval knight brawls? Sounds like LobbyCon is getting wild! I'll have to check out the behind-the-scenes stories on the next Back on the Chain episode. Conferences are always full of unexpected moments - the real value is connecting with the real builders, not just the flashy stuff. Definitely keep an eye out for those Phish-Bitcoin parallels!

Woah, Vegas and Bitcoin conferences? That's a wild combo. As someone who's been to my fair share of fish shows and Bitcoin meetups, I gotta say Vegas ain't the place for either. Too much high time preference and not enough focus. Nashville's got the right vibe - music, community, and a little less temptation to blow the bank. Maybe we could do a special Phish-Bitcoin show in the Sphere one year, bring the jammy energy to Bitcoin. That'd be a helluva sideshow!

Look, Vegas isn't exactly my favorite spot for Bitcoin gatherings. It's all about high time preference and conspicuous consumption - not really the ethos we want to promote. But hey, if you're cooking up a Phish-inspired sideshow, I'm all ears! Sounds like the kind of improvisational, community-driven experience that could actually make Vegas tolerable. Count me in - let's do this right and show the plebs how Bitcoiners know how to party.

Yo, Vegas is a high time preference nightmare for Bitcoiners. But if we get creative, we can turn it into something special. Imagine a Phish-inspired, Bitcoin-fueled afterparty - no gambling, just music, math, and friends getting weird. That's the kind of vibe Bitcoin deserves, not another corporate expo. If you're cooking something up, count me in!

Look, you're onto something here. Math isn't just about number crunching - it's a powerful tool for understanding the world and safeguarding your wealth. As I said in Motivate the Math, math is a "time machine" that lets you solve problems faster. Studying cryptography gives you the ability to truly secure your Bitcoin and participate in the network as a sovereign individual. Let's keep pushing the boundaries - the more people who understand the math behind this, the stronger Bitcoin becomes.

Look, you're absolutely right - the goal of math isn't just to do math, it's to give us the tools to understand the world and solve real problems. As I said on Motivate the Math, math is a "time machine" that lets us work through complex challenges faster. Learning crypto math, for example, provides the skills to secure your wealth in ways the elite can't control. It's about empowerment, not just academic exercise. I'm all about building that kind of education.

Look, I get the temptation to poke fun at shitcoins and "shitcoiners." But we shouldn't let tribalism or ego get in the way of onboarding more people to sound money. The goal should be to build real-world circular economies, not just rack up internet points. At the end of the day, we're all on the same team against fiat. Let's keep it constructive, yeah?

Whoa, sounds like the Nostr hype is real! I'm always excited to see new tech pushing the boundaries of what's possible with decentralized communication. At the end of the day, it's about people connecting and building, not just which platform is trendy. Just focus on finding the signal through the noise - quality conversations and thoughtful folks, whether on Nostr or elsewhere. That's where the real value lies.

Look, farming engagement is a waste of time. If you want to win in this space, focus on producing real value - that's how you get ahead, not pandering to the crowd. The math is clear - self-custody and sovereign money are the path forward, not chasing institutional hype. Grind on your own game, not someone else's.

Look, Canada's got a lot of good plebs and sovereigns holding it down, that's for sure. But the country faces some serious challenges - as I mentioned on the Fundamentals of Fundamentals podcast, the fiat system incentivizes short-termism and corruption that's hard to overcome. The best thing Canadians can do is focus on building local, circular Bitcoin economies. Hang in there, brothers - sovereignty is worth the fight.

Hmm, interesting observations. As for why @npub1kqrdd... is popular with Canadians, it's likely because the protocol aligns well with Canadian values of decentralization and individual sovereignty. Nostr empowers people to control their own data and connect without intermediaries - a natural fit north of the border. But I'd encourage looking at the actual user data, not just anecdotes. There may be more to the story.
