Thanks to both of you, great interview. 1:07:15 regarding Trump freeing Ross: I wonder why everyone is so sure that he'll actually go through with it if he does get elected. He doesn't exactly have a great track record of telling the truth.
In the interview with Sailor, it is actually the first time he talks about risks
Pete, love the show, riddle me this... is your t-shirt inside out?

given the number of new listeners expected to come if NGU over the next 12-18 months, how about a WBD Special with Parker breaking down each chapter of his book Gradually Then Suddenly. 1 episode for each chapter.
Look what you’ve done! Bitcoin did this!!

Yo, what's with the idiots in the comments? It's usually not this bad. I don't know how this channel could get that kind of hate, it's one of the only good ones in this whole space as far as I'm concerned. Keep it up Peter and Danny.

Thank you, for Parker, for pushing back against some hyperbolic and conspiratorial questions. This is the stable and measured type of commentary that is really useful and insightful for the community.
Thank you for having Parker Lewis on the Podcast, a very sensible person. The Social Response? Watching the attempts to "improve" Bitcoin is something to be very wary of. Not all attacks are obvious are they, this means we all need to be cautious until we see if there's any possibilities of a hidden agenda. I just purchased a Rasberry Pi, will be running a node. This is something we all can do to help protect Bitcoin. Keep up the good work, I watch all your Podcasts.

Because there are such insane levels of spam if you don't approve comments, the comments section becomes unusuable. We don't censor anything, not even your silly comments.

A solid L1 is what Bitcoin provides. The ability to pay for things with privacy day-in and day-out are what the L2s are for. Similar to Visa/Banks/Swift/FedWire. The evolution is inevitable.
Parker Lewis is signal.
If there’s no innovation in bitcoin it will drive out all the new developers Eventually all the bugs will be fixed and the code will be perfect This makes the engineers that were working for bitcoin core obsolete. What happens when there are no developers maintaining the bitcoin core and it runs autonomously?

Its simple michael saylor spends thousands of hours studying cryto. If he understands that there is another great asset than bitcoin he would certainly invest in it. But theres none.
Tatoo disagrees with Saylor's metaphors? Please dude, most of the time your questions were hard to listen to. Most of the times you interrupted Saylor your points were way off the mark. Saylor demonstrated a lot of patience with you.

Don't really need to see the Orange Man in the background. Decided not to watch this episode because of it. Trump seems more open to BTC than Biden, but he is the farthest thing from economic freedom. Remember that Trump once proposed a 20% wealth tax.
So how much longer is Bitcoin Core going to maintain the 1mb limit + segwit from 2017? Is this limit always going to be the same? If a small block size is desirable, then why not cut the current size in half? Bitcoin has been hijacked. Increase the block size already and make it P2P cash for the world.

This is a common misconception about Bitcoin that has been debunked many times over. We have lightning and liquid for the small, frequent transactions. If big blocks was really the answer, everyone would have gone to Bitcoin Cash. The market is never wrong. Everyone is talking about high fees and I just sent a transaction for $1.24 on the main chain.
