So that's the first time I played that, I think, for one of the live shows. Volume OK? Volume was pretty good, Alex. It had a couple of dips, but overall, it hit good. All right. Cool, cool. Good morning, everybody. Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners, Dom Bay, Mickey, Tomer. Good morning. I haven't seen you in a little while. How are you? How are you doing? I'm doing good. Yeah, it's nice to connect again. You were on vacation. I was on I don't know, I wasn't on vacation, but I was doing some stuff that was keeping me quite busy and a little bit away from the show. But and maybe you weren't on vacation, but you were away. Who knows? Nice to hear your voice again. Nice to be in dialogue. Let's see where today takes us. Yeah, I mean, officially it was classified as vacation. But the reality is I was busy as hell, but whatever. All good. Good morning, Peter. How are you doing? Good morning. I'm having a great morning. I've had a great week and unfortunately I won't be around. Well, I might be around tomorrow and Friday, but I doubt it because I'm taking my motorcycle and heading up into the mountains. That's awesome. Elaborate. Elaborate. Let's see, I'm driving east of the Cascades to a city called Chelan, and from there I'm going to we're going to I'm going to spend the night there with a friend. And then tomorrow we're going to head up into the we take a series of dirt roads called the Washington BDR, which is the back road discovery route. It's about 100 miles of dirt roads to the next town, which is Wenatchee. And then the next day we do the same thing to Ellensburg. And the next day after that, we do the same thing to a town called Natchez and then I'll head home. So 300 miles or so on dirt roads should be should be fun on the on the behemoth that I drive. I don't know why I have to have the biggest enduro in the universe, but apparently I've got Napoleon syndrome. I just hear in the background, I was the highwayman along the coach roads I did ride. Nicely done. Alex, you got a response to that? I actually I do. There is some nonsense that we have to get out of the way, so we might as well do that now. By the way, good morning and welcome to everyone. You're listening to Cafe Bitcoin episode 428. Our mission for this show is to provide the signal in a sea of noise and chase the other seven billing people on this planet why there's hope because of this bright orange future that we call Bitcoin. And for the nonsense, here we go. Crowds are coming by the dozens to get an up close view at what some say is a piece of Irish folklore, a leprechaun. I don't want to know what I don't want to go in here to go back home. Sorry, I had to remove Alex from the stage for playing that song, but we'll let him back up. What was Alex up to the last two weeks? I think you got booted, bro. Jerk, I think that counts. I'm pretty sure it counts. Some of you motherfuckers out there owe me five million sets. Let's go pay up. Oh, that's fucking awesome, dude. That's amazing. Oh, that's the funniest fucking thing I've seen in a long time. All right, that took me to get the co -host back. Some of you might be highly confused by this. Just just ignore it. Pretend it didn't happen. For those of you who know, you know, somebody owes me five million sets. Let's go. I'll expect payment by the end of the day. Thank you. You need to publish an address, then I'll wait for them to reach out to me. All right, that's good. Well, congratulations. Don't spend it all in one place. Thanks, man. If they pay, I doubt they're going to pay. They're going to come up with some weasel way to say, we don't know you because you didn't follow the rules because of whatever. I don't give a shit. Yeah, you didn't read the fine print. It said the temperature had to be 85 exactly. Hold on. The best part is, is that you played the game. I mean, come on. That's all you can do, right? At some point, you just got to bow down and play the game. I am bound on a nobody. Fuck that. Good morning, Matt C. How you doing? Hey, all doing well. It's nice to be back from summer vacay. Hope everyone had a happy Labor Day and excited for the fall. It's been good. It's been good. What have you been doing in this sideways crabby kind of market, Matt? Just laughing at how predictable this, let's just call it the fourth quarter before the halving always is. Every single cycle, the weirdest FUD comes out and it's the too long, didn't read it is basically what if the Bitcoin halving somehow breaks BTC every single cycle, new cycle, same FUD. It's just a different reiteration. It boggles my mind just how exact history repeats every four years. But I mean, what are you going to do? Mickey, good morning. What's up? Yeah, so it's like it's kind of like that mining death spiral story that pops up every four years. And I think it just illustrates how little these shit coiners really understand about Bitcoin, because because they get, you know, I get my buddy, I talk about him every once in a while, but he loves ETH, you know, and he'll talk shit to me. But every once in a while, he'll text me with just like the most insanely basic question about Bitcoin. And it's like, oh, dude, I thought you were like the crypto expert. I thought you were Bitcoin. I thought you understood everything, but they don't. They're just fed these these narratives from these influencers who are sort of obviously grifting to most of us. But yeah, it's just it's just dumb shit. So, I mean, the minor death spiral is pretty easily fixed by a couple of difficulty adjustments. And then, boom, the day is saved. It's not even it's not even that it's so this is the perfect place to talk about this because you can't explain it in a tweet or two. But what we're watching is the most competitive race of accruing hashrate, increasing your efficiency and putting your competition out of business. You you you're right. You might have the weaker miners that go out of business after the twenty twenty four, but you have the big players that have never been more profitable today. Names that you know of, like Riot, Marathon. These guys are sitting on 60, 70, 80 percent margins today. And you ask, like, well, how is that possible? It's because they keep slamming on the latest and greatest Bitcoin miners that are twice as more powerful and efficient and profit generating as the previous generation. So you're literally putting your competition out of business. You don't have to hire tons of new people or more administrative costs just for putting a couple more computers online. Your only your only impediment is energy costs. But these smart players, they they set their deals in terms of years, three years, five years. And if they're in Texas, they get energy credits just for shutting off. So it's such a it's a nuanced, complex conversation. And you're right, like grifters, crypto influencers, they prey on that FUD, that fear that a new person just doesn't understand. Like, well, I read that if Bitcoin doesn't hit 50K by having all the miners are going to, you know, go bankrupt, it's like that's so there's so much wrong with that and it's impossible to explain in just one tweet. Tomer, do you have any thoughts here? Is there a lot of that FUD going around more than usual or are we more sensitive to the relatively same amount of it that's going around because it's kind of a bear market and it's dull and and the halving is indeed coming up. So we're taking it a little more seriously. I don't actually know. I'm I'm a little bit surprised to hear this because I would say it's hard to put your finger on the timing because you forget, but all this talk of security budget and whatnot seemed like it was a conversation that was maybe at the beginning of this year, if my memory serves correctly, and then it kind of went away because the Bitcoin price went up and the fees went up to use Bitcoin. So it suddenly seemed like the security budget, which is made up, fallacious concept, went away. But it sounds like it's coming back. I think there's always there's always a lot of confusion about Bitcoin and there may always be, but certainly because it's so new, because so few people understand how it works, because it's got so short a history. There are people who are going to try to take advantage of that by intentionally spreading false information. There are people who are going to be honestly mistaken and honestly confused and have pretty rational sounding arguments for why they genuinely believe something is is wrong with Bitcoin. And the only thing that proves them wrong is that Bitcoin keeps functioning exactly as designed. And I think this is really this kind of gets me going on where the whole altcoin space always comes from. All these forks of Bitcoin, the overwhelming majority of altcoins are just copy paste code of Bitcoin and change a few variables and see where it goes. Or they've gotten a little bit more sophisticated since because all of those have died out. But it's really like, why bother? What what's your hypothesis as to what's wrong with Bitcoin that needs to be fixed, especially if Bitcoin is offering itself, presenting itself as money? I think other coins came into existence and tried to offer different things, but wouldn't let go of the fact that like, oh, and we're also money like Bitcoin. And they weren't money like Bitcoin. So they they ended up suffering from this tremendous identity crisis, which still devours them. But I'm kind of going off on a few different tangents. Happy to pick up anywhere without trying to confuse the conversation too much. I see lots of hands up.

I'm Jeff You're listening to Northwest This Week Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson is joining a lawsuit over Idaho abortion laws. Ferguson is leading a coalition of 20 states in filing a friend of the court brief taking issue with Idaho's ban adults on transporting pregnant minors out of state to receive abortion care without parental consent. And folks here who assist those women should not be criminally charged by individuals in the state of Idaho for doing something that's perfectly legal here in Washington state. The thrust of the argument is that Idaho is intentionally restricting interstate travel. Idaho's governor A .G. and state lawmakers have largely been silent passing the ban earlier this year saying they won't comment on pending litigation. Ferguson by the way is running for governor here in Washington so we've reached out to his two strongest opponents for comment. Hillary France and Dave Reichert we have not heard back. Jeff Pojola, Northwest News Radio. Thank you Jeff Seattle's mayor has set legislation to the city council to help reduce the city's drug problem. Exactly what's involved in this idea. Our own Kathy O 'Shea shares the details. Mayor Bruce Harrell's plan would invest twenty seven million dollars toward facilities treatments and services to address public drug use. The legislation would incorporate state law making public drug consumption a misdemeanor while emphasizing diversion programs to provide treatment as a option first rather than jailing a user. The downtown Seattle Association said the legislation is desperately needed and the city cannot afford to delay in passing this measure. Kathy O 'Shea Northwest News Radio.

There's something very existential about what you're saying that there's just this it's like an untapped not it's not untapped but it's a never ending resource renewable resource. That will always be. It will always continue to be and it's very likely that we will never know everything there is to know. Maybe that maybe that's a good way to put it that. I think something the mathematicians know about math. Maybe the general public doesn't know math. Is that what we don't know is so cosmic leave vastly bigger than what we do know that we're not in any danger of figuring it all out. There's no peak math right that doesn't exist and isn't it.

Several industries have taken a hit during the pandemic, but perhaps none more than the leisure and entertainment oriented businesses.

Restaurant owners across the state are immensely grateful for what you've done so far has been 100%. Our life support. That is some customers showing up every night. It's really appreciated that they're they're bringing us to their home and we can't have him in our doors. If the rubber hasn't met the road just yet. It's about two for every surviving restaurant in the state of Washington this year is telling. And if I can't see the numbers getting better Like any business. We will close our business in December brawl on life support right now. I don't. I don't think there's anybody out there that wants to say how much longer we're gonna last. So a coalition of owners of getting out the word. There's the obvious way to support eateries, and that's by placing an order. But there were three other ways that can really help restaurants number one. Gift cards. It's instant cash for them. Now, even if you're not quite ready to die now, give me purchasing get cards or, you know, just send your body of a sandwich from one of your favorite sandwich shops. The second thing that will really help restaurants, hotels and theaters. Big things. Well, if you didn't enjoy To go. It's gonna be much better when we're allowed to died in. And if you could get that, you know, the review with you would be great Google and yellow pin. As many as you can. We don't care how ugly the photo is. Just post it. Tell people how much you loved your experience right now. Just, um, we aren't in a place Tomo spend money on advertising so anybody that can help us out on social media by spreading that sharing liking? It's significant right now. The third way to help Think outside the box a little. We had an anonymous at donation or purchase of $250 for us to give out food. One of our neighbors here came down and wants to remain anonymous but bought the entire Spokane Police department lunch. People have done sponsorship deals to make sure that the Children who haven't been able to access food because school hasn't been in person. Whether your favorite restaurant is in Tacoma, Marysville is a quad, Ellensburg or Spokane. They all want you to know that you are the difference between surviving and not an outpouring of generosity. People wanted to help each other get hit.
