Last Notes npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann ?? "what is wrong with Datum?" I guess you didn't watch the video? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That is the full episode, lol. We're doing shorter form so it fits the video platforms better. Here's the new channel though if that's what you mean: https://www.youtube.com/@GuysTake npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What is the MOST important project in Bitcoin right now? It's probably not what you think. https://v.nostr.build/C6RJOuNPqzV0aJDF.mp4 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann wow.... that's fucking amazing npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann There's going to be a flood in the next couple of years. Local Ai will be absolutely wild in less than 5. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Could not be less relevant to anything said here. Nothing i said made any claim at all about whether you should run a pruned versus a full node. The data above is exactly the same no matter what you choose. So if you feel that strongly about pruned nodes, don't run one. Nobody anywhere in any way said you should run one or the other so i don't know what you're wigging out about. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Pruning occurs after validation. It's purely a storage choice and has nothing to do with whether you download the entire chain or not. The IBD operates exactly the same with the pruned node simply dropping block data earlier than a certain threshold after validation and keeping the UTXO set. In other words, it's literally no different. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://blossom.primal.net/0aec737ac456f77dc198f91816d24665c9368500e5c1bccd753e7bf44a464091.gif npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Been working on a really frustrating video Guy’s Take 😆 Got 2 on the way though npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Holy shit! Kimi K3 just dropped and it outperforms Fable 5 at coding takes. State of the art Ai models just went fully open and the full weights will be available in just a week or so npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Of course, Bitcoin is a great example of doing everything needed being built as simple and naively as possible to make it work in its most important capacity (i suggest "Bitcoin is worse is better" by gwern if you've never read it). npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann All made up of just 4 proteins npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If only you could get the *sound* of things like this moving around to match the majesty and surreal nature of their visual effect. The periodic RAAAAAAAA, REEEAAAAA sound really kills it, lol. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.” — John Gall npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://blossom.primal.net/a3883f88a1567755304d142cb1fce09e3fcbbd2a96802e67eeb778f0aa4fdf38.gif
#nevent1q…d27x npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is exciting dude! Nice work npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Never heard of it. They doing the same thing though? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I think most are through PPQ using either FLUX or Nano Banana. But my producer has been putting them together and we’ve shifted things a ton over the past few weeks so it might not be the same anymore. I’ll ask npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Big time user still. I’ve become a .md maxi. Everything on my computer is a .md or a .json now 😂 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Interesting I don’t even know that movie. Will check it out 🙏🏻 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Ah damn. Would’ve been fun to catch this while it was happening. Coulda zapped a big one live, lol. It’s always fun to get first impressions from people seeing zaps for the first time. I apparently need to check Nostr more frequently 😂 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That seems like a lot of work to demonstrate the obvious. 😆 I mean just off the top of my head I can see dozens of different motion and muscles that are activated, you have to actually picture the shape and flow of the letter and the word, predict the spacing of the words, etc - there’s numerous things that typing is explicitly supposed to be a shortcut for, thus those things wouldn’t be activated. I guess I’m not trying to hate, but it seems a little “duh” to me, lol. And when it comes to remembering what you wrote vs typed, it also makes sense that you would retain it a little better when written specifically because tying it to a more intricate and explicit motion actually sets things into the mind more concretely. If every letter and word is different, there’s a lot of pathways being fired. When typing everything is just the same tap motion. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann WE DID IT GANG!!! 58K GANG FOR LIIIFFEEEE! https://blossom.primal.net/ce24e02a4d37e70e010920824c0279ff40d9704787b7f87f314056ce980c6a12.gif #nevent1q…q7yt npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann because i haven't been banned yet, lol. Rumble, podcast, nostr and X are all in the mix too. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://image.nostr.build/9a4161fa85b7e610dd26fc61707db1ad9a208ce731e63a1db14b8e38e7fd6e61.gif npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The audio and video version will be published in the same Bitcoin Audible feed. It will just start having a lot more Guy's Takes episodes and on Fountain and other video enabled clients you'll be able to watch the video from the same feed. No change needed if you already follow, only the youtube is under a new channel name. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://youtu.be/hraWif0lnRw npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Guy's Take is officially here! I've got something special for you guys that I'm super excited about. We've put together a new channel and are shifting to video as the dominant, regular content type for the show. I also am separating out Guy's Takes (shorter form, topic specific videos) as its own medium to keep it separate from the longer form interviews. Check out the new channel! Subscribe and stay tuned. We've got a ton of stuff coming and so many ideas to dig into. It's a new era for the show. Hope you join me 🫡 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjQc97Xay_nGdHhrW8D_ZnQ npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but nothing he said is relevant to my point. https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsv7cxds2qr84vdg7zx4p6lrhqpyj82jaa4yc46clqley7td88kk8czkgg2g npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’m shocked that a week went by and there was no progress. I’m busy all the goddamn time unfortunately… but usually there is some sense that something actually got don’t with all that work. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It’s shocking how fast an entire week can go by while you’re scrambling the whole time and working constantly only to feel like you got nowhere. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann A bunch of fucking crooks and pedophiles got in power and they are milking the country for all it’s worth. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “I haven’t even seen your book but I have a strong opinion about it” vibes for real 😂 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What is “Falling Down 2.0”? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann All good man. I would have been out a long while ago if I was overly sensitive about shit on socials. I do appreciate the candidness though 🙏🏻 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’ve considered a few different paths, and that’s actually a really interesting one I hadn’t considered, basically running a node professionally and using the podcast as its “public face” so to speak. That’s a clever idea actually. But generally speaking, 99.5% of podcasts probably do not make meaningful money. I had 2 good years but trying to squeeze money out of it is a serious battle, *especially* when you don’t just take whoever comes asking you to shill or take money from guests to come on the pod. Like You said, it doesn’t feel too different from squeezing juice from a rock (gonna save this and use it later. Will not credit you for it, fyi 🤣). I’ve been making a lot of changes because I’m shifting the show towards Guy’s Takes and away from grass. We feel the reads were sort of in a sweet spot when it comes to newcomers wanting to learn about Bitcoin, and when it was hard to digest written content. But we seem past that zone. I was considering reviving the “zap for reads” thing I did for a bit and thought was really fun. And then keeping reads only to that list and do them more sparingly. Then the main takes are just me trying to give a more genuine “Bitcoiner who actually lives on bitcoin every day” take on things when so many podcasters and commentators literally don’t touch it. I saw someone talking about them finally going to setup a node and I just went full wtf. I won’t call them out because that’s awesome they are going to start one up, but damn they’d never run a node before and are spouting their opinion every day, probably about spam wars, and how people should use it, and hold their keys, etc. Don’t want to throw shade, but still, lol. Anyway that’s where my head has been and it’s been stressing me because basically the other option is to let it go and I don’t want to do that. But it’s hard to make it worthwhile at the same time, especially when I *have* to make other frustrating and time consuming projects make money in order to be able to keep doing it. Right now I’ve been spending 2 years on a really big bet, and on something that I think is super valuable for everyone. Let’s hope it’s not just another really expensive thing that doesn’t make its money back 🤣. Just keep moving forward amiright? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Oh man. I love some good tits npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 🫡 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Appreciate that, I’ll look at the STRC chart for a good laugh 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I read what people are interested in and want to hear. I’ll always give my take but I make the assumption that my audience can think for themselves. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’m probably just being sensitive because you calling me a “paid influencer” when all I do is turn down sponsors and I’ve lost money on the show for a year and a half honestly makes me feel like shit. As if no one gives a fuck if I’m not scamming them so why refrain? I don’t do the show because I get tons of money, I do the show because I love it and I think it’s valuable to the space. My goal is simply to make it sustainable. If the ad was awkward I’m happy to have the feedback, but your instant leap to “I guess your just a stupid paid shill” genuinely makes me feel like a fucking retard for not just spewing crypto dog shit for the last 2 years and actually making decent money. I ought not care about random comments online, and usually don’t, but today I do apparently. If I didn’t love the show I’d have dropped this shit like a rock a looong time ago. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Ok dude whatever. It’s a good hardware wallet and my joke about them being better off was accurate. They had half a billion in fucking tether. I only recommend stuff I like and use personally. If that’s not good enough then I should just stop caring honestly. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann In other words, I wasn’t expecting Iranian officials to watch the video and I wasn’t making them a recommendation. 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 1. They held centralized tether, so honestly what’s the difference? There’s one key either way. Bitbox would be vastly better. 2. I recommended the hardware wallet to the listener of the show so they didn’t end up like Iran. 3. Doesn’t really matter, the point is about holding your own keys. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Vibe central banking is the true way npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I explained exactly why in the second paragraph. I gave the exact reasons why no one is experiencing it. And it’s not “theory,” it’s exactly what happens in the absence of massive money printing. In fact, in the sectors that out pace it, we even still experience today. Computation and electronics all improve so fast that every element of compute gets more affordable every year despite trillions printed. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If you have a central entity issuing infinite credit from nothing at an arbitrary price because they issue it from nothing, then everything you just laid out is meaningless. If on the other hand, you have a sound money where people are lending real savings and thus the supply is real and not make believe, then everything you explained is simply exactly how a market works. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Already part way through them. Just been crazy busy. You’ll probably notice I haven’t had many reads at all lately. Just a lot going on npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann They’re long as shit, lol. I’m working on them actually npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “Just let humans use whatever the fuck they want to use in order to transact, to save, or whatever.” When have I not allowed that in any way whatsoever? I’m telling you what the extremely likely result of that is in the long term. Literally nobody is forced to use anything in Bitcoin or crypto. The outcome as it has been is exactly what you are demanding. If you are mad that people think differently, then you simply can’t handle the basic reality of decentralization and markets. It doesn’t mean everyone agrees with you. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That makes absolutely no sense. Bitcoin maximalism is just the simple result of thinking about the outcome. It’s not prescription, it’s a logical conclusion. The idea that realizing what the outcome of competing monies will be is “authoritarian” honestly only shows how much baggage you have coming into this. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann They say we issue debt from nothing because it “grows the economy” and it’s a “net benefit.” Well… if we have 2% price inflation, it means the “net” is explicitly a loss. Otherwise stuff would be more affordable. 2% inflation means that the cost of explicitly out weighed the additional production, because the net result was clearly that things got 2% more expensive. This is exactly why you can’t afford a house, you need 2 earners, and you have no time. You’ve been losing minimum 2% on net of living standard every year for decades. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I HAVE tried this! npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I have become a huge Zorin fan #nevent1q…nchz npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The electric credit system isn’t bad, it’s simply regulated by a *real* interest rate and genuine savings being loaned. Otherwise it’s either being manipulate by price controls (on interest rates) or by fraud (rehypothecation and fake backing). But there’s nothing inherently wrong with credit. It’s the fake prices, central bank manipulation, and financial fraud to fake economic signals that is bad. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Nobody. That’s exactly why we want a natural sound money and not a managed one. In the end the soundest money that most reliably secures its integrity will be the one that society consolidates on. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Bitcoin maximalism isn’t monopoly. It’s common sense. That’s like saying everyone having the same free speech is a “human rights monopoly.” Money has the most powerful and most convergent network effects of anything in an economic system, because it’s what *defines trade* in that system. If a society uses a different money, it’s more accurate to call it a separate society than a different part of the same one. This is why one can be viciously poor, unproductive, and industrialized, right next to a modern economy in the internet age. If sound money is to bring the world together and offer a genuine foundation for a free market society, it will be with *one* monetary base, to the degree that it can sustain and garner trust in its radical neutrality and immutability. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yes. The period from the late 1870s to about 1900 experienced the most sustained natural price deflation probably in US history, and it also happens to be called “the Industrial Revolution.” And the greatest period of rising living standards occurred during this as well. The reason recent “deflationary” period are called recessions or depressions is because they are *credit* deflations. It’s caused by excessive fiat debt issuance from thin air. Look at Japan for the past 20 years, look at the Great Depression. Check the debt levels, they are credit deflations, not deflation from growth. But the most obvious actually right in front of you. It’s the phone you’re holding in your hand. The price deflation in computers and electronics has been so extraordinary that its even outpaced inflation by an order of magnitude. But it’s the *exact* same thing. If you cram 10x the amount of gates in a chip or build a machine that produces chairs at twice the rate, you’re doing the same thing, improving productivity and output and lowering the cost of the good. That’s natural deflation. We would have that in every sector, in every good and service, essentially always, if we had sound money. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann There is no false mental model more destructive than the idea that prices are supposed increase over time. All prices should fall if the economy is more productive. Indefinitely. It is literally only because trillions of dollars are counterfeited from nothing every year, and our time, living standards, home affordability, and critical resources get sucked out of the economy to pay for it that things get more expensive. It is explicitly unnatural and it’s explicitly because we have fake money and a communist central bank at the lowest layer of our economic system. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The 2 biggest and most unexpected winners of the Ai era are json and markdown files 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yes, but get a gun first. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Do you feel politics is a pure disaster of corruption and evil? Does it feel like everything is getting more dangerous, while you’re being taxed 5x to fund its decline? Feel unsafe? The best thing you can do is get a gun, learn to use it safely, and protect you and your home. Encourage everyone you know and trust to join you. The police won’t save you. The govt isn’t going to fix your problems. When the sh*t hits the fan you’ll find both on the other side throwing it in. Protect yourself.

This past semester she was told that Americans have no family values, that Americans do not care for people the way Iranians do." Our govt is proving them right because my brother can **never bring his wife home.** There is literally no path. The only hope is to get someone with the authority to see this and care enough to do something.
