Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners. Today is Thursday, October 19th, 2023, and it's another great day in Bitcoin. Good morning to Dom Bay, bringing you up, Ant, Tomer, Mickey, morning producer Jacob. Good morning, everybody. Good Peter. morning. Thanks for recognizing that I'm sitting here. Appreciate it. All right. You are listening to Cafe Bitcoin episode 458. Shout outs to our supporters on Fountain and Nostra Nests. Our mission is to show, for the show. Excuse me, is to show. Yeah, and to show people what the hell, you know, what the hell Bitcoin is. Provide the signal in a sea of noise. Teach 7 billion people on this planet why there's hope because of this prior during feature we call Bitcoin. I had a funny conversation with producer Jacob this morning. We were talking about how like right now there's just so much apathy in the markets regarding Bitcoin. It reminded me of like this camel in the desert and it's crawling its way across the desert in search of water right now. That's kind of what it feels like in Bitcoin at the moment. And then you get this like blip on the radar where like somebody, there's a rumor, you know, oh my gosh, the BlackRock ETF just got approved and the Bitcoin price goes fucking crazy, goes up 8 % in like 15 minutes. You know, the camel looks up over a ridge and it sees an oasis full of water. It's like, oh my gosh, here we go. I'm getting some water and it like starts hauling ass over the ridge and then it gets there and it's an illusion. But that's the vibe basically. So yeah, I mean, we're just showing up every day. Alex, I completely disagree with that. I have seen more discussion and notice of Bitcoin in normie world in the last six months than in the previous two and a half years that I have been in Bitcoin. I completely disagree with that. I think people are waking up. They're starting to see what is going on in the world. They're looking around for a solution and it is Bitcoin. And I think they're starting to see it. And it's not just the average Joe that is starting to see it. I think that large entities are actually starting to look at this thing and they're going hmm. Yeah, there's a mix. I mean, there's onesies and twosies and whatnot. There's a mix for sure. But there's not FOMO. There's not a sense of FOMO going on at all right now for sure. Shoutouts to Joe Carlasari, Corey Klipsit in the audience. Through both of you guys' invites if you want to come up here. All right, moving on. Today's show we're going to be covering a few news items as well as open Q &A for all things Bitcoin. This just came across my radar this morning. According to Watcher Guru anyway, Tesla still owns $312 million worth of Bitcoin. Any thoughts or comments? Good morning, Corey Klipsit. Good morning. Yeah, I just hopped in to say, yeah, you got to get the Carlasaris and the regulatory Jasons and everybody. Terrence, wake him up. I want to know all about the NYAG suit against DCG, Genesis, Gemini. And Nico needs to do a live stream today for sure. Yeah, totally agree with that. That's in our list of items we're going to be covering here really shortly. For those of you who did not hear, there was an announcement by the New York Attorney General and they have filed a sweeping lawsuit according to this article against a bunch of companies in the space. So why don't we just dig in right away. This is the beginning of this press release. It's ag .ny .gov under their press release section. The New York Attorney General, Letitia James, filed a sweeping lawsuit against cryptocurrency companies, Gemini Trust, Genesis Global LLC, its affiliates, and Digital Currency Group for defrauding more than 230 ,000 investors, including at least 29 ,000 New Yorkers of more than a billion dollars. It goes on to say, the investigation by the Office of the Attorney General found that Gemini lied to investors about an investment program it ran with Genesis called Gemini Earn.
Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from Vijay Boyapati | You Are Early to Bitcoin | Simply Bitcoin IRL
"You Yeah, welcome to another episode of simply Bitcoin IRL today we have a well first of all happy to be back We haven't done an IRL in a couple weeks. I think the last guest was Parker Lewis We have a very special guest lined up for you guys today the author of the bullish case for Bitcoin and also fellow Co -worker with me over at Swan Bitcoin. We have Vijay boyapati. I'm super excited for this episode Vijay We just we just crossed paths in California, man It was super awesome to see you and now it's super awesome to work with you as well. So, how you doing, man? Uh, yeah, I had a great time at Pacific Bitcoin and it was great doing a panel with you I guess it wasn't a panel. It was kind of a fun game Um but yeah, I'm super excited to be part of Swan and Honestly Pacific Bitcoin Mmm, I didn't say this but it just occurred to me the feeling I had when I was there was the same feeling I had At the first Bitcoin conference I went to which was almost exactly ten years ago. The first Bitcoin conference I went to was in 2013 In San Jose, it was just the Bitcoin conference which is called the Bitcoin conference There was there wasn't really any other conferences. There were no shit coin conferences. It's just the Bitcoin conference and I Just remember the the sense of excitement Just how cool this was like this people just discovering Bitcoin like this could potentially change the world I got that same kind of sense of excitement at Pacific Bitcoin and just the sense of fun as well, which is really awesome Yeah, yeah, it was I never forgot the Pacific Bitcoin and and I and I felt that energy too and I've heard that for multiple people and I never forgot last year where price of Bitcoin was sitting at like $16 ,000 and you have Michael Saylor sitting in front row watching every single panel This guy's down billions of dollars, right and he's just cool -headed Looking at the panel trying to have a good time talking to other Bitcoiners So that feeling that energy I don't know if it's the the airplane hangar or you know The way that Swan throws these events. They're very very special They're homey in a way and I think in and I love the Bitcoin conferences But maybe it's the size like the you know, the Bitcoin conference is thrown by Bitcoin magazine. Maybe it's the size I don't know what it is. Maybe it's that California feeling I don't know, but I know exactly what you're talking about when you say that it's it's a it's definitely a very very special event So, you know your presentation on stage was absolutely epic because you started to undress yourself And what I mean by that is you you know, you took off your sweater and you showed something It was a pretty epic introduction for you joining saw Swan So my question is why'd you join Swan in the first place? What what made you want to work here or work? Oh, that is a good question. Well The way it happened. I'll just tell a brief story I got an email from Cory obviously CEO of Swan I got an email from him out of the blue saying I want to chat with you and It was on a Friday and I said, you know, I'm taking the kids camping I can't do a call right now and he said okay Monday and I I took the call zoom call on Monday and I Thought he was gonna ask me about like Swan might be raising some money It's a great company or maybe he was gonna invite me to Pacific Bitcoin or something like that But when I got on the call, he was on the call with yarn as well which surprised me a little bit and I was like, huh, what's going on here and He asked me about how my job was going and he asked about a company that I didn't work for anymore Cuz I didn't keep LinkedIn updated. I didn't really use LinkedIn So I had like a job listed on there from like seven years ago And he was like, how's that going? You know, I was like, oh, you know, I don't really work there anymore and he said well we want to just take a shot and see if you want to work at Swan and I'm so blown away. I did not expect that at all I Had expected an invitation to Pacific Bitcoin to speak or something like that and And I I thought huh, that's interesting Let me find out about swine I knew Swan was Bitcoin only and I knew what the business generally was But I didn't know that much and I didn't know exactly who worked there And so I spent the next week or two just speaking with with people at Swan and I was honestly blown away like the team that Cory and Jan and Brady have put together is awesome and the philosophy of like this is a Bitcoin company We're all Bitcoiners. There's no non Bitcoiners, it's like he Cory told a funny story actually he was like we were interviewing this engineering candidate who's like pretty good and One of the questions he had was what's your favorite Stefan Lavera episode? And the person didn't know the podcast and Cory's like no, no, no, we're not we're not hiring him So it's like really hardcore. It's like this is a Bitcoin only company and I thought that was so cool because I've been interested in Bitcoin for a long time now since 2011 and I've always been supportive of the companies in this space but to be able to work at one and to be surrounded by Bitcoiners and people who love Bitcoin and you know To be able to hang out with you and and folks like you is just it's honestly a dream for me to be able to Join Swan. So that's that's how I ended up at Swan Yeah, man, that's so first of all that backstory is super interesting Yeah, it's it's a it's a company full of Bitcoiners complete on the mission It's a Bitcoin only company, right? So yeah, it's it's uh, you know, and it's it's what you said there's it's incredible group of extremely talented Bitcoiners hardcore Bitcoiners that uh That are totally on the mission. So it's it's super super happy to I'm super happy to have you like you know part of the fold part of the family and Yeah, man Upwards and onwards. Anyways, man, so you did a presentation on the bullish case for Bitcoin That's what that's you know, that's what you're known for, you know, I think it was Michael Saylor Please correct me if I'm wrong BJ that wrote the preface to this incredible article that eventually became a book Right, which is absolutely insane when you wrote that initially and it's been a while now since it was our first release Did you have any inclination? You know because sometimes I'll make a video so like I look like I love making content I love making videos and sometimes when I make a video or when I title something properly I have a like there's a little voice in the back of my head. That's like this is gonna pop off I'm very confident about that. You don't know to what extent but you're like, okay I'm pretty sure this one's gonna do really well that being said did you have any idea that? That article that medium article that then became a book was just gonna blow everyone's minds away Not at all not at all. And I mentioned this at the start of my talk at Pacific Bitcoin I said I and honestly thought that it would be read by a few friends and family members people who knew me and Knew that I was really into Bitcoin and probably getting annoyed at me talking about Bitcoin all the time I think I did have a little bit of hope that it would be Maybe read by a few people outside of my friends and family circle and I was hoping Like my big hope was maybe a few people on Wall Street will read this and it'll click for them and they'll be like, oh I get it. This isn't some like this isn't beanie babies or something like that. This is there's something fundamental here That's really important And and it would click for a few people. I had no idea what happened would happen none at all And it got it's been read over a million times It's been translated and not by me but by volunteers in the 20 different languages I think it hit on a nerve because people at the time were trying to understand like This was the I started writing it in the beginning of 2017 I'm a really slow writer and I only published at the end of a sorry the beginning of 2018 But I think at the time it hit a nerve because people really wanted to understand Bitcoin That was the first wave of like regular people coming to Bitcoin before that It was kind of like a libertarian Cypherpunk thing. It wasn't like regular people not that many regular people cared about Bitcoin I think 2017 was the first wave of regular people And there was just a lot of interest like what is this thing? Why is it becoming so valuable? And and so I think I Had been thinking about it since 2011 I have background in Austrian economics and I put a lot of thought into like Why does this have value to me? That's the most important question. Why does it have any value? Why is it? Why is it more than zero and And I think there's like a good economic argument for why it does and that's what I put into my article I think it hit a nerve because people were trying to answer that exact same question Like why does this thing have value and then it just got you know a momentum of its own and you got shared around a lot and You know was mentioned on in some media and podcasts and stuff like that and it kind of blew up and then people started Translating it and that's in 20 different languages. So yeah, it got a momentum of its own and the doing the book was an interesting thing because I was like people kept asking me to turn it into a book because they were Literally physically printing it out and giving it to people like hey, you know Bitcoin It's like to evangelize a little bit because they've discovered something important They want other people to know about it And so they're printing out my article and I can you just turn it into a book so I can give them a book It looks better if it's a book I was like, ah, I don't really want to do that because like I didn't know what I'd want to add to the article I don't want to just like type the article into a book and publish it but a few years later I a bunch of stuff had happened the pandemic had happened and the Federal Reserve had gone completely crazy and Created trillions of dollars in new money and I thought okay There's some new stuff that I want to revisit and I could add to the article and so the book is quite a bit expanded it's like It has like a bunch of stuff that's not in the article and I revisited that in 2021 And the funny thing is I when I started when I launched it and I started selling it I remember going to the swan dome at the Miami Bitcoin conference and I've had this relationship with swan for a while actually where like I really like this one people like hanging out with them and I remember basically launching my book in the swan dome when I was like 100 degrees out and inside the dome it was like probably 120 degrees and It was a madhouse in there.
The Café Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from CPI, SBF Trial, Blockstream Lightning, and Swan Private Macro Friday with Sam Callahan, John Haar, Cory Klippsten, and more! - October 13th, 2023
"Hello, and welcome to the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast brought to you by Swan Bitcoin, the best way to buy and learn about Bitcoin. I'm your host, Alex Danson, and we're excited to announce that we're bringing the Cafe Bitcoin Conversations Twitter Spaces to you on this show, the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast, Monday through Friday every week.

Eastern every morning to become part of the conversation yourself. Thanks again. We look forward to bringing you the best Bitcoin content daily here on the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast. Good morning. Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin. Jacob, that song is such a banger. I love that every morning. Yeah, shout out to Tip and Z for letting us play that. Yeah, Tip crushed it at Pacific Bitcoin. I'm sure you guys talked about that, but that was awesome. What's up, everybody? Michelle, for those who are interested, I just put the lyrics up in the nest. She just put the lyrics online yesterday. Peter, bro, I went to sleep. You were on a space. I wake up. You're on a space. You've been killing it. I went to sleep during that space as well. Peter, stars rising. That's what I was going to say about you, Don. Yeah, I got a few issues, too. It's all good. We're all degenerates. I thought you were on your way to El Salvador. Yeah, quick couple of errands. Need to get a quick surfing. Need to check in real quick here. See what Sam thinks about the big appeal day today. Get some predictions and then hop in and I'm gone. What's the appeal day? Today, if I'm correct, Sam probably knows the details, but it's the deadline at midnight for the SEC to appeal the decision that was reached during Grayscale's Spot ETF appeal. Yeah, that's right. So basically, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals judges ruled in August that the SEC denying the conversion of GPTC to an ETF was arbitrary and capricious, which means that they didn't think it was right. And so this is the deadline for the SEC to challenge that decision. And so we'll see if they'll kind of either decide to bend the knee or not, or if they'll just try to decide to fight it or give a new reason for why they should reject the conversion. You know, there's a couple options that they have available to them. But today's the day, so we'll see what the SEC is going to decide to do. Yeah, Sam, I think whatever buys them the most time, I think they're going to request panel appeal, not submit an actual appeal themselves, buy some time, maybe pull that back. But who knows, maybe they just throw in the towel. They could. I mean, I feel like people are attributing a low probability of that. But I mean, they certainly could. Why would you throw in the towel when you don't pay for the legal services that you require? Yeah, that's a good point. I think but I believe the least likely option is that they submit a formal written appeal with a new justification as to why they won't approve it. I think they either go for the panel review from the appellate court or they just say we're done. The other idea is they could agree and then decide to just remove the futures ETFs. But that seems really unlikely, given their size and popularity of the product. They could. They got some options. They got some options. Hold on, the futures market in Bitcoin is like popular? Who even uses that? Fiat Maxis. It's used by institutional traders for hedging and all kinds of things. People think it's very popular. It's like a security. Someone needs to do a meme like in that movie Castaway where he's talking to the volleyball and he points and he's like, no, we got time. We got time. And they got to replace it with Gensler. I don't have the skills. Michelle, what's up? Hey, guys. So I don't want to derail the conversation completely from the macro, but I did want to make a little bit of an announcement. This morning, I bought gas in SATs over Lightning. We are beta testing our merchant system, and we've integrated it at a Shell gas station here in Sarasota, Florida. I pinned a tweet into the nest. And everything went well, which is super exciting because I'm the product developer. It worked. And so if anybody's in Florida and wants to come to Sarasota, you can buy gas with Bitcoin. Gas priced in Bitcoin. Let's go. That's fucking awesome, Michelle. What's the scaling look like on this thing? Well, we're still beta testing. There's a couple of features on the back end that need some updates and some tweaking. There's some features that are coming down the line that we kind of want to roll out before we really scale it. But we have five or six merchants that are each testing different pieces of the system. We have a full API integration. We have a couple of e -commerce tools and then the actual merchant terminal. For a lot of the gas stations where we have ATMs established, we'll probably be the first sort of set of adopters. So we're kind of slow rolling it. But if anybody is out there and wants to accept Bitcoin, feel free to DM me or fight federal, and we'll get you set up. if So just I'm understanding correctly, the product just kind of makes it easier for merchants to integrate with Lightning and accept Lightning payments. Cool. What was your mission? Go ahead, Sam. Sorry. Well, no, I'm just I'm curious to learn more about it, Michelle. So what's your guy's goal? Why did you guys start to build out this product? And where do you see it kind of fitting in to Bitcoin's adoption as well as why did you guys build it? What problem are you trying to solve? Yeah, sure. Well, it's really about Bitcoin and Lightning adoption. So Byte Federal is one of the oldest ATM companies. I think they're kind of one of the least known right now because they've grown really slowly. But everything is built in -house. We build all of the ATMs here in Florida. We built all the software that runs the ATMs, and we host everything that happens within the ecosystem. And prior to me joining the team, we have a wallet. We're in the process of redesigning and rebranding the wallet. But the goal really is to enable full -scale circular economies with the ATM, our wallet, and then the merchant piece, which is like a merchant terminal. Of course, if you have like at a farmer's market and you're just a sole proprietor, you can always do a direct peer -to -peer transaction and accept Bitcoin or Lightning directly into your wallet. But we have a lot of merchants that host our ATMs, and they have bigger needs, and they want like a physical terminal, and they want an integration into their existing systems. So we've been working on building that. That's super cool. I think like merchant adoption of Bitcoin and accepting Lightning is kind of the next wave adoption. of And I know like Parker Lewis is kind of focused on that now. And merchant adoption, it's like demanding to be paid in Bitcoin. Each merchant doing that is going to build on itself and kind of drive Bitcoin adoption forward as it continues to be used more and more as like a medium exchange for goods and services. I think it's kind of early days in that, but I think that is the next wave. And it just occurs at each merchant. So building the infrastructure and easier tools for them to accept Lightning is definitely a crucial step. So Michelle, that's awesome. So cool to hear. Peter, what's up? Hey, Michelle, are the merchants able to convert into fiat if they want? Or is it just they take Lightning and then they do with it what they want after the fact? Yeah, there is a conversion option. So of course, our bills are still in fiat. So there is an ACH withdrawal feature that's built in. And they can either hold the Bitcoin or SATs in there. They can hold it if they want. But no, there is an option to cash out in fiat. And it's an ACH settlement. Are you targeting specific individuals who are already Bitcoiners? Or is this more about, you know what I mean? I mean, what's the market? Kind of. Yeah, kind of. So the guy that we set up today is near our office. He has a very successful ATM, a very active ATM. And the reason for that is because he is super into Bitcoin. He's a Bitcoiner, right? And so when people come into his gas station, he's like, hey, you can buy Bitcoin here. Like, I know you're here for gas or a soda, but you can also get Bitcoin. So he's really like a Bitcoin evangelist. And so we have developed a relationship with him. And he actually informed a lot of the decisions that we made as we were building the product.
The Café Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from Caf Bitcoin LIVE at Pacific Bitcoin with BTC Sessions - (DAY 1) October 5th, 2023
"All right, all right. Good morning and welcome to Cafe Bitcoin live from the Swan Dome at Pacific Bitcoin. Let's go! Let's go. All right, for those you don't know Cafe Bitcoin is a show that we do on Twitter Spaces every day, Monday through Friday. We've been doing it for about two years now. You can catch a live show there. I think we start at... And sometimes on Saturday. And sometimes on Saturday. 7 a .m. Pacific and it's going to be 10 a .m. Eastern every day roll for two hours. Talk about all things Bitcoin. The purpose of the show is to teach the billions of people on this planet that there is hope because of this bright orange future that we call Bitcoin. So I don't know what episode this is. 400 what? This is 448 according to our fine producer Jacob Pope. And we are going to talk about some different things today. We're going to talk about Bitcoin. We're going to share with you some information from these fine gentlemen see on the stage today. On the far right over here, my far right, it would be your left. We've got Battle Ant. Some of you may know him. Yeah. We have Peter Ansel. We have the incredible honorary Swan first responder, Don Bae. And we have BTC Sessions. Also known as Ben. You may also notice on the side screens over here, we have timechainstats .com. This is courtesy of one of our sponsors. It's got tremendous amounts of information on it. Constantly updated in real time. We're going to ask for some audience participation today. So thank you for that in advance. You're going to see on the top left of the screen there, that's showing the last block. Now every 10 minutes, approximately, a new block rolls in and is added to the timechain. When this happens, this should update live. You should see an orange border occur around where that thing says last block and then it will say what ant? It will say block found. So while we're doing this for the next 45 minutes or so, if you guys see that thing light up and a new block is added, we want to hear you guys say block found. It's not hard. This is easy. We're not asking for much from you guys. Let's practice right now. Block found. That sucked. Way below the bar. Let's try it again. Three, two, one. Block found. Awesome. All right, let's roll. Okay, we're going to start with, on the far end, battle ant. Battle ant is the oldest member that I can think of of Cafe Bitcoin. The crew, what I call the crew. This guy's been with me for like two years, something like that. Back in the early days, even before we called it Cafe Bitcoin. By the way, Cafe Bitcoin was started over on, what the hell's the name of that other platform? Clubhouse. Thank you. Clubhouse. Long, long time ago by Cory and a couple of other OGs who did that pretty regularly for a long time and then I started doing spaces. We were calling it Bitcoin Breakfast Club and at one point Cory's like, hey, you guys should call it Cafe Bitcoin, which we did. But ant's been with me for a long time. Ant's got some really cool stuff that's going on lately. First of all, thanks for creating time chain stats. My pleasure. I'm really happy that everybody likes it. It's one of those things that I needed to cite myself and when I get the feedback from everybody that they enjoy it too, it creates kind of like a feedback loop of incentives for me to make it better. I really appreciate it and keep sending in your feedback. Fantastic. All right. Send them some sats too. There's a donation page on there. Yes. Top right, there's a little orange button you can donate in sats if you choose to do so, if you're into that kind of thing. Also, ant has an announcement to make. He has built something that actually has to do with that little orange button that is going to be pretty important to the entire Bitcoin ecosystem, in my opinion. What is that thing, ant? Yeah, so real quick, I mean, this is something that happened out of the course of the development of this website. A good friend of mine, Wooderson, some other people had advised me to put some donations on here, but I just never did. Woody made a good case for me to get it on there, so I finally looked into it. I have a good friend, TC, and he's built time chain calendar. We kind of did this at the same time. I put BTC pay server up and running. I got it going, got some liquidity on lightning, and then launched my BTC pay donations app on time chain sats. But the problem is, BTC pay server is awesome. It's really amazing. Whenever you get into the configurations and everything, you start to learn how cool it really is. You set up a few things for a payment button to take donations or tips, and it gives you code that you can just drop into your HTML site or your PHP site, and it's just immediate. There's your button, and you can style it. It's great. Time chain stats and time chain calendar are made in a modern web framework called React, and unfortunately, it just doesn't work in React. React has a different way of coding. They actually call it and refer to it as the React way, so it's like a different way to do it. You can imagine the building process. We got our BTC pay server going, and then it's like, okay, we've got our React apps, and here's the code it gave us, and now we have like three more weeks or two more weeks or whatever to you thought you're ready and you're not. So we built these components from scratch. We rolled our own, and we basically, you know, emulated exactly what they would give you, and, you know, as like kind of a default setting, and then we also allowed people to make changes to it. You can edit it however you like. You can, you know, once you get it installed, you can change all of your colours and everything. It's change your buttons, whatever, and change, you know, the amounts. It's really flexible, but the idea is we wanted to leave the light on for the next guy. You know, the next people who are using this, let's save them some time. We made it into a package, so you can just do, you know, NPM and download the package, get it installed into your app, but, you know, the cool thing about it is that now that it's on there, I mean, any other React developer who's looking to install their BTC pay button, they can do that with just a few steps. Okay, Ant. In non -shadowy... Block found! Block found! Y 'all are on it. Luxor. Luxor. It's a Luxor block? Ant's not a fan. All right, so, Ant, in non -shadowy super coder language, for people who don't know what React is, why is this a big deal? It's a big deal because React is a modern web framework. I mean, when you think about it in, like, web stacks, I mean, HTML is kind of like the basic, you know, web vanilla, you know, website frame, you know, coding language or whatever. It's not even a coding language. And then markup language. And then, you know, you get into React. I mean, there's like in 2020, I think, or 2023, I think we looked up and it was 12 million websites are using React. 12 million websites using React? Yeah. You know, it's more than that. I mean, this is like a modern way to build websites. You know, React introduces like this component model. It's a very flexible way to build your apps. And so a lot of big companies are using it. Like, you know, React, I mean, a lot of huge companies use it. So it's a big deal. And we think of it as kind of like a bridge. So, you know, TC and I, as we're building this thing, we wanted to make something that was so flexible, but it was like the default option. So if you had your, let's say you set up your BTC pay server and you got that code and you're going to put it in your website, this one matches the look and the feel exactly. And all the settings and everything, it's just super easy. One, two, three. Now React developers can do it with no headache. Out of curiosity, are there any React developers in the audience right now? None. All right. No worries. Yeah. Here's the other side of this. So, you know, it may not be like the most exciting thing in the world, right? But here's what's really cool about it, is that it solves a major problem. Like this is something that we ran into as developers and, you know, we couldn't get it fixed. We had to roll our own. And in fact, later on I found this post on Stack Overflow and someone was asking the exact same thing. They were saying, you know, how do I embed this pay button into my React app? And it was, that question was asked three, you know, three and a half years ago. And there was no answers. There were some comments about it, no answers. I answered it the other day with, you know, this one, two, three step process. And so, it's really cool. And the other part about it that is really exciting is, again, it's not some big ground shaking like, you know, massive development. It's cool and it's going to save some React developers some time. But, you know, it's not some big protocol development or anything like that. It's happening in the application layer, though. And from the beginning, I hoped that BTC pay and those guys would appreciate the work. But frankly, like, you know, it's permissionless. We see an issue. The code is available. I'm using Microsoft Outlook, for example. I don't know if they have the code available on GitHub that you could go, you know, look at that and work with that system. But BTC pay server does. So, you can make that change, put it in, build something that works with the system and they ended up adding it to the documentation. So, we're really happy to say that, you know, now you're on the BTC pay documentation. You're a React developer and it has the steps right there. So, it's really cool.

Ashley Iverson on Widowhood and Finding Love Again
"My late husband was Corey Iverson killed fighting the Thomas fire in December of 2017. And since then, I have experienced five and a half years of widowhood. It's, it's a wicked experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone. However, it's like the greatest hilarity of life of just as dark as it gets. But it's, it's also provided me with the most profound light and wonderful experiences that I could have ever imagined. And I'm grateful. I'm grateful for all of it. I, I really hope I don't have to do it again. Yeah, it's strange to say that I wouldn't change it. And this beautiful person that's sitting beside me has made life a whole lot better for myself and the girls. And it's really special. It's not my first choice of profession to fall in love with again. But you know, it is what it is. Yeah, so I'll let you chit chat a little bit about yourself. Oh, my favorite thing talking about myself. Thanks for the opportunity to come on and speak with you tonight. So I'm a fire captain with Cal Fire and I'm here tonight because like Ashley, I've experienced some of the most darkest times in my life that have ultimately brought me to, you know, my reality today is just pure and utter gratitude for where I'm at and a new perspective on life. And, you know, I'm just grateful to be here share a little bit about my story and hope to share a story to those who, you know, are going through or have experienced some of the things that I've gone through. In a nutshell, I'm sure more will come out. Okay, so let's start from the beginning of Ashley and Phil. How'd you guys meet? So eight years ago, ironically, Cory and Phil, their paths crossed on the job for about three months, right? And so it's, it's really special for me, the fact that Phil knows Cory gives a massive amount of peace and just, just him actually knowing Cory, there's another level of respect and honor that he comes with and wants to show up with for myself and the girls, which is really special. We were brought together by one of their captains befriended me after Cory passed. And three years ago, I met up with them, the group of them were down here at a convention. They met up for dinner with them. And that night, I definitely noticed Phil, but it was kind of like, I don't, did we even have much context? No, we did converse briefly, but it was more, it was such a large group of people. There wasn't any real substance to what we had. I don't really, I don't remember really having a conversation. I just remember like feeling his energy, but there was also something that was very significant. And I knew that I didn't have any business knowing him at that point in time. I don't know. It was something where it was just like, okay, beautiful man. And I have to go by, you know, and a year ago I met up with the same group and he happened to be with them again. And we were walking from lunch back to the convention center. And I noticed the good looking one had dropped off, not knowing that he was the same one from three years ago. And when he caught back up, I could see a level of distress on his face. And I just, I pulled him aside and I asked him if he was all right. And he was sharing with me that he had a daughter and she's really struggled with him not being home. She was young at the time, she was three. And we ended up just having a heart to heart on how challenging that is

Kash Patel: DOJ, Media's Game Plan to Leak Stories Ahead
"To drop today, that Hunter's going to get off. Right. Basically get off. So somebody leaks to a sucker at the Washington Post, a voluntary sucker. They know they're suckers. Carol Lenny. My gosh, this Garland. It's the worst. They don't want to skew Trump because they don't want to be political. Lenny can then run with the peace comes out the day before to wipe out any kind of political charges interference the day before the Hunter Biden thing. Am I crazy or am I after something? I mean, I don't know. It sounds you've like been on a living on a different planet, Bonjino. Now, of course, of course, you've been living in this reality. They've been doing this playbook from Russiagate onwards to the Trump indictment onwards. They leaked to their friends. Listen, as bad as the government gangsters are in government, they cannot function without the goon squad that you just laid out in the fake news media, The Washington Post, CNN, wherever else you go. They always leak preferentially when they want to counter a narrative they don't want to get covered or they want to say, no, no, no. Everything's fair. Merrick Garland, mark my words, will come out and say, look, we prosecuted the son of my boss, the sitting president of the United States. We have one system of law in this country like Jack Smith tried to tell us the other week after the Trump indictment. These are empty epithets. And when you look at the prosecutions that are going down and the disparate treatment, it's funny that I a who conservative used to be a former public defender is the one screaming about disparate treatment when it relates to gun charges and minorities and the white son of a president of the United States. I find that absolutely ironic. But, you know what, they'll probably call me a racist or something. Cash, I don't know if you heard the show and I that was my monologue in the beginning of the show. Oh, where is where's Ibram Kendi? Where's Kyle Compton? You know, I was an agent, man. You know how many people on federal task forces we put away for for five to 10 years on the exact same gun charge. Oh, but they were black and Hispanic and and maybe couldn't afford the best lawyers. Where are all these race hustlers now? Where's Cory

Larry Loftis: "The Hiding Place" Only Tells 10% of the Story
"You were doing your research, you were just talking about the basics of the story are known to many of us. Again, I know some people, a lot of times when I write a book like 7 women or 7 men, I'm doing it to wet people's appetite to pique their interest piu. In the subject so that they'll read the whole book because you just think, wow, I never heard of Cory ten boom. And what kind of a weird name is that? Parentheses. It's a Dutch weird name. The Dutch have, they have some weird names. But you determined that the hiding place didn't tell the whole story. So what parts of the story did the hiding place not cover? I mean, let's just start there. Yeah. Yeah, my upshot after I finished all of the research was that it told less than 10% of the story. And I felt what a ripoff I just kidding. That's kind of amazing. I'm sorry to interrupt the other 90 percent. And so that's why I mentioned, I'll give you a couple of names three names, for example. What was completely omitted in the Cheryl's biography was this guy Hans poly who I just told you about the first person in there. He's the one that got them involved in the resistance. He felt guilty. He was 18. He wanted to help. He got involved in the resistance. And then he had to tell Cory because it puts them at risk. He's hiding in their home. And the resistance gave him a fake ID. They gave him little assignments. He was going to be a courier and since he was a boy, he had to dress up as a girl, so they'd put a wig on him and address, to run, courier messages. That's am biblical, by the way. I think deuteronomy and leviticus expressly says you don't do that kind of stuff. You've got to cut that right away. So he had to go on these errands. Anyway, he felt like I've got to tell Cory because if I get caught, they're going to raid the house. They're going to arrest everybody because they know I'm involved. And then they gave him a gun. The resistance gave him a gun and said, okay, your next assignment is to shadow a Gestapo agent, a notorious Gestapo agent that we're thinking about taking out.

Larry Loftis Wrote the First Major Biography of Corrie Ten Boom
"Loftus, welcome back. Thank you, Eric. Thanks for having me on again. Well, tell us you were on this program, I don't know, three or four years ago talking about another book you had written. Talk about that for a moment. Sure, 2019, we were on talking about codenamed lease and actually that's how I found this core ten boom to be my next subject because when I was researching, if you remember that story, odette Sampson was an SOE agent operating and occupied France. She was captured. They sent her to ravensbruck, the notorious concentration camp for women in Germany. And a friend of mine said, hey, while you're doing your research, you need to read the hiding place. And I knew of the book, and I knew, of Cory, but I'd not read the book. And I said, why? She said, well, at the same time, odette was at the concentration camp. Corey was there at the exact same time. And it was perfect for me because my subject in the first book was a spy, she had already been condemned to death, so they put her in a bunker at ravensbruck, below ground, she could see nothing. She's in a dark cell and she never sees any of the camp. Corey, of course, was on the outside in the normal barracks, so she saw the day to today operations of what happened, the role called in the mornings to lineups, the beatings, the work parties, all that stuff. So it gave me the other side of the picture of looking at ravensbruck. So then when it was time, 2021, I had another spy book out the princess by about an OSS agent operating in Spain. So I was looking for another book to do. And I wanted to do a different agency. And I wanted different country. And while I'd already covered all the spy agencies, my first book was about an MI 6 agent second was SOE third was always. So I ran out of all of the spy agencies. But I kept my mind kept going back to Corey because it was a new country, the Netherlands, and while she wasn't a spy, she was part of the Dutch resistance. Well, practically speaking, that's the consequences are about the same

How Economist Stephen Moore Connected With President Trump
"Did you connect with president Trump or candidate Trump? So Larry kudlow and I and laugh were interviewing all the presidents who were running all the candidates for president back in late 2015. And remember there were a lot of 16. I don't know if we were to remove all of them, but we did most of them. And Trump was one of the last ones we talked to. And how did that discussion go? First, well, what happened is he wanted to meet with Larry and myself privately. And that was Corey Lewandowski. Remember Cory was running the campaign, did a fantastic job. And we went and I didn't like Trump. I didn't I've never met him. I just didn't like him. I just thought he was kind of a blowhard of blah blah blah. And we went in and spent an hour and a half just me, Larry, and Trump. No, other people. Which I thought was interesting. Again, usually these politicians are filled with people. And I remember Larry and I'll never forget this. Larry and I walked out of that room and were like, he's going to be president. Really? That's how blown away we have. But he agreed with you. We had a great conversation. I mean, I love Trump because you can argue with the guy. Yeah. You know? You know, and it was me, and I was just so blown away by this guy. I don't know. Look, I told Trump. I don't agree with you on trade, and you know, bite back and forth, but I love the fact that he was willing to take on the conventional wisdom in Washington. And the whole drain the swamp message. That's why I won. That's right. Totally. Totally.

Cori Bush Says Republicans Are Using Byron Donalds As Prop
"My producer of God man just send me something that Cory Bush said, that lady is a complete trampoline. She's a trampoline, okay? Y'all thought I was gonna call it a T word. I want to, but I ain't because I'm a Christian. But this trampoline had the nerve to proclaim that Byron Donald is an Uncle Tom upholding white supremacy. These people are completely stupid. And can I just say that, I can not just say it how I feel it, they're completely stupid. You know, and this is one of the things that as a black man, you have to deal with the racism of the Democrat party, not only from black from white people, you gotta deal with it from black people. People are voting for Byron Donald because they feel like he can give them a great opportunity to Speaker of the House. Let me just say this. I don't know Byron Donald has experience, but the boy know what he's talking about. You may want somebody with more tenure, I don't know. But he knows what he's talking about. He's confident he's smart. He's bold. I wouldn't mind having him as a Speaker of the House. But people are voting for him in the course of Democrats or afraid. What are they afraid of, mister Tatum? They are afraid of a powerful black man. Who can get in there and set the record straight on the Republican side. Because they've been lying to black people for centuries.

Kamala Harris Once Called Jussie Smollett's Hoax an 'Attempted Modern Day Lynching'
"So Jussie Smollett went out there and had this crazy story about being attacked at 2 a.m. while just trying to get a sandwich at 2 a.m. by two white Trump supporters where I maga hats. And they were yelling at him, attacking him and saying that this is maga country, and somehow this story held up. The mainstream media was all over it and our politicians were all over it and they just immediately believed it. I tend to stand back on some of these cases because I have respect for our court system. And I like to wait and see and hear what the jury has to say. And what we found out in this case is what we all were learning along the way, the Jussie Smollett was a fraud and made the entire thing up just for publicity. You would think that politicians, people running for the president of the United States of America might have enough common sense. To actually stand back when this originally happened and think about it instead of going in right out there over their skis Joe Biden tweeting at the time, what happened today in reference to Smollett must never be tolerated in our society we must stand up homophobia and racism have no place in our streets. Kamala Harris. At the time, tweeting Jesse small is one of the kindest human beings I know. Well, I am praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern day lynching. That's like some really serious, really strong language. She didn't know any facts about the case Cory Booker, the signer from New Jersey using the same rhetoric modern day lynching. You see they tried to seize this moment for their own political gain just like Smollett was out there trying to seize the mood of the country for his own politicized gain to try and revive his horrific career. It came to light in February of 2019 that the whole thing was just made up. That none of this was true, and reporters started asking Kamala Harris for example about it. Well, Kamala Harris was confronted and she literally, I watched the tape she totally froze. She had no idea she acted like she had no idea what they were talking about. And then when they reminded her of her tweet, she, again, in a very frozen way, said, well, we need to get more information. Cory Booker also said, we need to get more information. Well, guys, now you have the information, okay? And if you were responsible politicians, what you would do now is come forward and say, I was

All right, Bill, come back. What's up, bell? Should I take out me ask her about the boyfriend's part or now? No, why? I don't know. She's so like that standard, every time you have a female fighter, you ask them about their relationships. And I thought I was very light on it, right? I wasn't like she was smiling. She didn't get weird. All right. All right, so by the way, Jay Heron, it seems like Jake Paul, anyone that thought you that beat you, even though some of those Ben Askren, I still think he went on that fight. Jake Paul is getting revenge on your opponents. Oh, God. That's crazy. Did you watch the Jake Paul what did I nah, I saw a couple of highlights. I saw when woodley hit him with a good right hand and he was all in the ropes. But no, I didn't, you know, I didn't see the full fight. So amen, good, good for Willie, make your money, you know what I mean? I mean, of course, everybody wishes he would have won the fight and pull the trigger more, you know? But hey, then did a day probably made more money than, you know, any single UFC fight, you know? Maybe a couple of them together. He made a $1 million. I mean, what do you think it is about a guy like that who obviously great athlete, great power, greatness, but just doesn't want to pull the trigger. I think it's totally mental. You know, who knows, man, you know, I'm we're all outside and he's inside there. I mean, I don't know. I mean, especially against, you know, a guy like that that, you know, that doesn't have the experience, you know what I mean? I'm sure he has great, you know, trainers and training and, you know, 'cause he has a lot of money. He has long money, so he brings in the best this is about pull. But yeah, you know, either who knows what's going on and with his head when he gets in there, you know, but we're outside he's in there. You know, that's definitely a fight he should go in and definitely, you know, be able to a little bit more aggressive. I mean, there are fights that you had, I thought like that Jake ellenberger to fight. Yeah. Where I thought maybe you didn't trust your hands as much as you had in the past, right? Was that something you know, I felt that could have been a little more aggressive, but I mean, I felt sharp that fight. I felt defensively good. I felt like I was countering good. I mean, Jake, Jake is, you know, very powerful puncher. So, you know, you can't just get an end, and bro with a guy like that, especially with foils, gloves. So, you know, I didn't want to make a mistake. So, yeah, I felt that was a little more reserved. But I felt sharp enough to, you know, all my counters and, you know, I felt I did did more than win the fight. Again, retrospect going back. Could I have done more? I'm sure every fighter says they could have done more, you know? Even on a win..

Olympic Runner Cory McGee On Performance Ruts and Getting Through Them
"Did share in post after the olympics. You share that. If you had told corey mcgee. Three years ago that she'd be an olympian that that corey would not have believed you. I wanted to talk about that a bit more. Because you said that you sort of loss yourself lost hope during that time. Can you tell us a little bit more about that when you look back on that time. About what life looked like and and how you got past it definitely. I mean it. It was i definitely went through a rut for a few years and it was mostly associated with performance. Not like i wasn't happy in my life but i was going through a few years of just like stagnant performance and I think that that is pretty normal. I wouldn't say that that's something that i hadn't gone through before but really not to this degree and so to kind of go from running in college and races were sort of Consistent in the sense that i felt really good when i arrive at the sec championship. I felt really good competing in ncaa's but then of course you get to the next level. And it's so competitive. And i always have had a confidence in my competitiveness in my performance. But you just don't win as many races at the pro level. And i was i. I'm okay with that. I can wrap my head around that reality. But my times weren't improving and often the thing that i think as runners we can kind of derive excitement from and sort of uses. A measure of course is not just winning but seeing yourself improved In your times. And so i think i had four years in boston where the third year actually was pretty good but i- sustained an injury in my sacred and and it knocked me back again and so i think i sort of figured out how to make it work but then had this injury and then i gave it another year to say okay. Well if the pieces come together then this is where. I'm gonna stay and continue to train but then i went to the us championship the next year. And i was the first one out of the final. And i wouldn't say that i had this is thought of like i'm not happy. I'm not improving. But i just wasn't expecting as much out of myself so had sort of just adapted to the fact that i i had a lower standard for my own self and i think that the reason why being from a small town where running wasn't very popular and then finding my way to school with a great track team and then eventually of course running for new balance was because i've always been my own biggest like my own biggest believer And i think you kind of have to have that within yourself and not saying if you talk about it or you put it out there.

Reads so tell us tell us more about the primus of tax service well attack surfaces the third novel in the little brother sequence at the first two little brother and homeland were young. Adult books about a character. Marcus yellow starts off. His very young teen who is caught in what amounts to a police state when his hometown of san francisco is bombed by terrorists and the department of homeland security swoop in and effectively suspend the constitution and all civil liberties and he and his mates form guerrilla army. Using things like hacked. Xboxes that use cryptographic secured wireless networking to outmaneuver the joss and eventually expelled them from the city and and restore human rights and civil liberties to the population and the third book attack. Surface is a standalone novel for adults and one of the first two are about people who are terrified. By the possibility of technology being used for oppression and excited about the possibility of technology being used for liberation. This third books protagonist is the young woman. Masha maximo who appears in the first two books as a kind of antagonised in the first book we meet her as a vhs contractor. Helping to spy on marcus and his friends even though she's of the same age and from the same background as them in the second book. She's a way bandit working to spy on jihadis and disrupt insurgent networks in iraq for the us government an enormous markup and when we meet her in the third book. she's just gone full cyber mercenary and her job is helping a thinly-veiled version of a company like the ns. Oh group to spy on pro democracy movements on behalf of post-soviet dictator so they can figure out who to round up and torture and murder and she has a reckoning with her conscience. She on the one hand has been spending her whole career finding ways to justify what she does <hes>. Sneaking secrets out to marcus and his friends so they could blow the whistle wrongdoing or helping marcus escape from the da chest in the first book but by the third book she's really had to <hes>. Devolve into some pretty self destructive conduct like helping the people that she spies on <hes>. Defeat the tools that she herself as installing. And that's obviously not sustainable. And eventually she gets fired and worse has to run away from this post soviet republic and finds herself back in san francisco where she discovers to her horror that her childhood best friend who's now on a successor movement to black lives matter is being targeted by the very same cyber weapons that she herself spent her whole life building and while the first two books inspired a really large cohort of technologists and civil rights lawyers and writers and activists and security researchers and cryptographer offers who wanted to use their technical and legal powers for good and to stave off technological apocalypse. And dystopia this. Their book is aimed more at the people who rationalize their way. One decision a time in tech and other industries into participating in a vast confiscation of human liberty and human thriving in service to large corporations and oppressive governments and to talk about what it means to pull back from the brink. When you recognize one day that that you can no longer justify what you've been doing of course corey. That is exactly the situation. We find ourselves in absolutely i mean in two thousand eighteen. We saw twenty thousand google's walk off the job tech won't build it and tech solidarity and no tech for ice and other movements within the giant tech companies are not only organizing around technological issues but also around labor and environmental issues and and you see technologists now reaching outside of their bubble so for example at amazon the movement for justice there within the company spans warehouse workers who are laboring under absolutely ghastly and what should be unlawful conditions and tech workers. Whose initial concern was surveillance and climate. But who discovered that they could not make progress nor could they feel good about their movement unless incorporated the labor concerns of these people at the bottom of the ladder at the company.
