October 28, 2024There Is No Institutional Adoption | The Confab 11: Fundamentals
Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.

The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.

On this episode, host of Rock Paper Bitcoin and writer of Risk Fundamentals, Fundamentals joins Max for a coffee to discuss bitcoin, bears and bravery.

SHOW DISCUSSION

Fundamentals, an actuary turned Bitcoiner, discusses his journey from a disillusioned career in traditional finance to embracing Bitcoin as a means of regaining personal sovereignty. He shares his frustrations with the corruption and lack of integrity in the actuarial profession, and how discovering Bitcoin has given him the conviction to take risks and fight for his beliefs. Fundamentals emphasizes the importance of using Bitcoin as a tool to improve one's life, rather than just hoarding it, and the need for individuals to discover how to live on hard money.

October 18, 2024 Pasteurized Milk is Malnutrition | PMM 08
In this episode of Ungovernable Misfits: PMM, Max & Jon discuss the world of raw milk, exploring its history, benefits, and the controversies surrounding its consumption. Max & Jon begin by discussing the Yamnaya people and their influence on European lactose tolerance, highlighting how pastoral societies have historically consumed raw milk. The conversation shifts to the industrial revolution and the introduction of pasteurization, driven by public health concerns and industrial interests. Max & Jon explore the arguments for and against raw milk, considering the nutritional benefits and potential risks such as E. coli and Listeria. The episode also touches on the cultural and economic implications of choosing raw milk over pasteurized options, encouraging listeners to connect with local farmers and consider the broader impact of their food choices. Throughout the discussion, Max & Jon reflect on the balance between tradition and modernity in our dietary habits, questioning the necessity of sterile food environments and advocating for a return to more natural, community-based food systems.

October 14, 2024 NOSTR and Fountain Sitting in a Tree | The Confab 10: Oscar Merry
Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.

The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.

On this episode, Fountain creator and developer, Oscar Merry joins Max for a coffee to discuss all things podcasting, Nostr and Fountain.

SHOW DISCUSSION

Oscar shares insights into the goals of Fountain, particularly in enhancing user experience with Lightning and making podcasting more accessible and valuable for both listeners and podcasters.

We also explore the challenges and opportunities presented by Nostr, a protocol that Oscar believes will be the social layer of open podcasting. We discuss the integration of Nostr into Fountain, the potential for cross-app interactions, and the importance of an open, collaborative approach to podcasting. Oscar addresses the complexities of key management in Nostr and shares his optimism about the protocol's future.

Throughout the conversation, we reflect on the importance of community feedback and the role of open-source collaboration in challenging major platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Oscar's commitment to improving Fountain and his vision for the future of podcasting 2.0 powered by Lightning and Nostr are both inspiring and promising.

September 30, 2024 The Hidden Bitcoin Paradise 🌴 | The Confab 09: SeedSigner
Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.

The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.

On this episode, long time friend of the show, SeedSigner, joins Max for a touching base and touching grass conversation.

SHOW DISCUSSION

Max reconnects with SeedSigner after a year, diving into various topics and catching up on the progress of their project. They discuss the challenges of gaining visibility for SeedSigner, a grassroots Bitcoin project, and the hurdles faced in a space dominated by larger players with vested interests. Despite these challenges, SeedSigner remains committed to its mission of providing an open-source, DIY Bitcoin savings tool.

They also touch on the broader Bitcoin ecosystem, expressing concerns about the lack of focus on privacy and the increasing compliance culture within the community. The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including the balance of family life and work, and the importance of spending quality time with loved ones.

The discussion meanders through various topics, from the cultural differences between urban and rural areas in the UK and the US, to the potential of multisig setups for Bitcoin security. They also explore the vibrant Bitcoin community in Curacao and the promising developments in El Salvador.

Throughout the episode, they reflect on the changing landscape of Bitcoin conferences and podcasts, expressing a desire for more genuine, grassroots interactions and a focus on the core values of Bitcoin. Join them for an insightful and candid conversation about the state of Bitcoin, privacy, and the importance of community.
