While remastering episodes from my podcast, I realized that the sponsors of 2019-2022 are mostly dead BottlePay? Dead. LXMI? Dead. Vaultoro? Dead. Wasabi wallet? Sort of dead. Would any serious Bitcoin company or project be interested in replacing their ad slots? My main criterion is being sure that you’ll still be around in a few years because I really don’t want to remaster again 😂

After 7 years, Bitcoin Takeover podcast is having its own scaling debate Over the last few months, some of you guys reported uptime issues with my website and RSS feed Upon further investigation, I discovered that the server CPU gets overloaded sometimes So I contacted my host today, will try to migrate to a server that can deal with the increasing demand Sorry for the inconvenience, I just didn’t expect to grow this fast 😍

Tonight I’ve started the process of remastering my entire podcast catalogue When I first started in 2019, I didn’t know too much about sound engineering (I was using too much reverb & mastering in headphones) and I also had entry level equipment 7 years later, I have much better technology and I can make every interview shine. I will also take advantage of this opportunity to fill my backlog: write a blog post about each and every interview, add individual Spotify graphics for every episode, upload YouTube videos of all the interviews that never made it there. If I do 1 episode/day (very unlikely due to traveling to conferences), I should complete the work in 1 year. But maybe in 18 months I will have everything ready and up to the standard that I’ve come to expect these days. Sometime next year, I want to also release the podcast in physical format for the big fans who also want to collect the content. Kind of like a DVD release with bonuses, except that it will probably be a 2 TB hard drive 😅 Anyway, it feels exciting to rediscover my older work. I cringe myself a little bit when I hear myself speak… but this only means that I improved over the years. Will post more updates as I continue the process. Today I did S1 E1 with the late @GraftedMan, God bless his soul.

If you’re not burning at least a couple hundred bucks a month on AI tokens to improve your business (or at least research new ways to improve your work/product) You’re not gonna make it Code, art, planning, strategizing have never been cheaper. Now you can do the work of an entire team just by yourself

Vlad, how can you be so right about so many Bitcoin topics? Well, I’m glad you asked. I have 3 simple principles: 1. I look up to the builders, the visionaries & the guys I consider smarter than me. Not those who have been historically right, not the narrative gatekeepers. The guys who want Bitcoin to do everything and have a plan to make it happen. 2. I don’t care about what the others think. The high priests of the church of maximalism, the plebs, the pseudo celebrities like Max Keiser and the consensus craftsmen like Greg Maxwell or Mr. Hodl. I do my own thing without caring about public perception or whatever. 3. I always assume that I might be wrong and prepare accordingly. You can call me out for not having enough conviction, I don’t care. I’m here to breathe fresh air, not smell brainfarts in the same room philosophizing about their purity. This means sometimes I have to leave the room and take a look (and a sniff) from outside.

This week's episode of Real Talk with Zuby is out today! @SteveHiltonx is the Republican candidate for Governor of California. We discuss what's really going on there, why he decided to run, and what his plans are to fix the state of things. Watch:

No matter how 'good' you are, you will go through some bad stuff in life. It's inevitable. You can't control everything. That's one reason why you should appreciate the moments when you're NOT going through that. Don't unnecessarily turn good days into bad ones. Waste of life.
