Ep 98: Free Will, Uncertainty & Risk with Pierre Rochard
"A real comparison between gold & bitcoin is to compare their relative ability to alleviate uncertainty"
Pierre Rochard, VP of research at Riot Platforms Inc, and yes - THAT Pierre, joins me finally, on the Wake Up Podcast to discuss his new piece for The Bitcoin Times, entitled; Bitcoin VS Gold.
Now..this is not just another one of those articles.
This one is short, concise and you WILL take away with you a concept that you may not have thought about before. The difference between uncertainty and risk.
You can find the fill article here on The Bitcoin Times website:
https://bitcointimes.io/bitcoin-versus-gold/
We go on a few tangents in the episode also, but here are the core topics:
Free Will & Determinism / Austrian Econ & Keyenianism Nature VS Nurture The difference between uncertainty and risk. Money (savings) is how we relieve uncertainty!! Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and there forces them to become short-termist & have high time preference. Price is all about risk. Savings is how we minimise and manage uncertainty - NOT Risk Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and therefore increases their uncertainty.Book Recommendation:

Ep 97: Toward a Node World Order Part 2, With Michael Goldstein, aka; Bitstein.
“There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“
Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met.
The episode continues with part two, and we cover the balance of his incredible article:
Toward a Node World Order;
How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing.
Read it here:
https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/
In this part, we cover:
Why Gold “didn’t fix this” The 3 steps to a Fiat World Order How military conquest has been overshadowed by monetary policy Why Bitcoin Fixes ThisDoing your own verifying and indexing is the only way to be sure your index data is secure.
— Satoshi Nakamoto
A full node as an independent bookkeeper“The bitcoin network was architected in such a way that a full node can operate in a bunker, cut off from the rest of the world, save for a single internet connection”
The dangers of people who keep trying to extend it’s purpose beyond that, in some attempt to make it do everything (eg; Ethereum, and even Bitcoiners with Ethereum envy, eg; Stacks) Bitcoin Nodes and Methodological Individualism What is Methodological Individualism ? How does it manifest with a Bitcoin Node? The idea that Bitcoin exists on the node seems to fry people’s brains because they can’t conceptualise how a global network can simultaneously be here in a local node. “There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“ The Establishment of a Bitcoin World OrderA fundamentally better economic operating system
The Industrial Revolution freed humanity from the Malthusian trap. Bitcoin, having put an end to counterfeiting once and for all, frees us from the fiat trap.

Ep 96: Toward a Node World Order Part 1 With Michael Goldstein, aka; Bitstein.
“All Bitcoin is paper bitcoin until verified by your own full node”
Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met.
He joins me on the show to discuss the first essay he’s written in a LOOOONG time, called:
Toward a Node World Order;
How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing.
Read it here:
https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/
We covered so much ground in this ep, that we split it into two parts.
In part one we cover:
Nodes. What they are, why they’re important and how they manifest our will onto the Bitcoin Network.
“Perpetual vigilance on the part of the citizens can achieve what a thousand laws and dozens of alphabetical bureaus with hordes of employees never have and never will achieve: the preservation of a sound currency.”
This is clearly how Bitcoin & nodes seem to have manifested his quote, but what do you think he envisioned when he said this?
What is the Malthusian Trap?
How did we solve for it?
The productivity theory of wages, and how Marxists in general get child labour so wrong.
Why real progress requires capital accumulation, technological advancement & public ideology
“There was never enough slaves to create an iPhone for the Pharaoh.”
Time preference
Why is the “evenly rotating economy” always going to be hypothetical ?
Why there will always be a necessity for Money
The state & public support
How money & banking help support a “good opinion” of the state (and at the very least the assumption that it’s a ’necessary evil’)

The Origins of the Austrian School of Economics With Rahim Taghizadegan
The Origins of the Austrian School of Economics
"There are two types of enlightenment. Grass roots, like the Austrian or Scottish kind, or Top down like the Jacobin or Fabian kind."
Rahim Taghizadegan is most well known as an Author, Bitcoiner & Educator/University Lecturer and the “Last Austrian Economist in the direct Austrian Tradition”.
He wrote a piece for the latest Bitcoin Times, Austrian Edition.
You can read and boost that here:
https://bitcointimes.com.au/from-bitcoin-to-the-austrian-school/
This man is an absolute WEALTH of knowledge and I we had an incredible discussion about the origins of Austrian Economics, money, banking and merchant networks - all which are precedents to Bitcoin.
If you’re a history buff and love to learn about the origin of things, THIS is an episode you will absolutely love.
We cover:
A history of Austrian Economics:
Menger & his lineage. Menger as a bright “node” in emergent Austrian thinking A little about the Crown prince Who was the Nobel Laureate (Hayek?) Menger’s students“Two lesser-known nodes in the network of the Austrian School would go on to have a much more profound impact on the world than the academic heirs of that tradition.”
Felix Somary who became one of the founders of Swiss private banking.
Richard Schüller, one of the best-connected diplomats of his time, who played an equally underestimated role in the return to peace after the World Wars and the independence of small post-war Austria.
The difference between the Prussians of that era and their focus on Politics, VS the Austrian focus on culture and enterprise.
“In the Austrian empire, a limited group of merchants had been granted total economic freedom and tax exemptions to make up for the relative backwardness of the empire. Successful entrepreneurs gathered in Vienna, and their quickly rising wealth brought leisure without political clout, influencing, among others, people like Menger and Hayek.“
“In a way, they resembled the Scottish Tobacco merchants whose leisure and similar distance from the state had fostered the Scottish Enlightenment. And there had indeed been old intellectual connections through Scottish and Irish monks and the scholastic tradition.”
How did Switzerland emerge in the first place? Switzerland and Alpine Regions as microcosms and remnants of the glory of Europe. Emergent VS Top Down enlightenment. Who were the Fabians & the Jacobins? What is their view & model of the world? Why has that remained so appealing? Does Bitcoin change that?This was an incredible conversation and one that I hope you will learn alot from.
Rahim made a book recommendation:
“The Raven of Zurich”

Ep 93. Psychedelic Series Pt 2, Medicine or Mierda? With Brandon Quittem & Bitcoin Mechanic (Lex).
What is the most honest use for Psychedelics?
- Spiritual, Medicinal, or Hedonism?
Welcome to the second Episode of The Psychedelic Series on The Wake Up Podcast.
Brandon Quittem & Lex, aka Bitcoin Mechanic join me to discuss a wide range of ideas, both for and against the use of such substances.
This is one of the best, and most requested series I've recorded.
More episodes coming up, and each will cover topics listed below, and more:
What are psychedelics?
Why Psychedelics?
Why did you choose to take this side of the discussion?
Why does it matter so much to you?
What is your story of psychedelics?
Did it make you more open or close minded?
What’s your position on Ego?
What’s your position on Masculine & Feminine energies?
What’s your position on trauma?
Are you familiar with the Adlerian School of Psychology?
Do you sit in the cause or effect side of the universal equation?
Who are people you respect. Current and ancient figures. Why?
What values do you respect in individuals?
What social norms do you think matter most, and which are we missing?
Do you think the world has issues right now that are resultant of liberalism or conservatism?
Do we live in a society that is over-medicated?
Are people weaker as a result of always having a cushion?
Thoughts about the normalisation of these substances in the modern age & their use by the ‘average person’?
Thoughts on their use as ‘medicines’?
Thoughts on their use as shortcuts or even pathways to ‘enlightenment’?
“Beware of Unearned wisdom”
Are psychedelics a tool?
If so, then are they not neutral?
And if neutral, are most people not good candidates for this?
If no, then why are they strictly good?
Are we not seeing the effects of a civilisation in moral decay because everything is liberated, progressive and relative?
Everything is apparently an illusion anyway, so fuck structure, fuck order, fuck ego and fuck authority. Is this not a danger?
+ So much more.
Tune in for the month of November to go down this rabbit hole.
You will NOT be disappointed.

Ep 91. Principles of Biblical Masculinity with Elliot Hulse
"Respect goes up, Love comes down"
- Elliot Hulse
This is a show I've wanted to do for a very long time.
Elliot is someone I've respected since my early 20s when I watched his strong man and "Yo Elliot" videos on YouTube. In fact, it was around when YouTube first started. Crazy shit.
I've watched him transform, as I have transformed, and here we are more than a decade later having a discussion about topics of the utmost importance. Masculinity. Frame. The Bible.
We covered alot.
I asked him about his journey from Strong man into Christianity
From Boy into Man.
We discussed:
Rites of passage Ego death. Frame Attitude Purpose. Responsibility AggressionAnd something he said recently, which I found very, very powerful:
"Respect goes up, Love comes down"
We spoke about the point at which Chaos meet Order.
And how modernity has both weakened the Masculine and eroded the Feminine.
How we're simultaneously experiencing excessive stultification of false order and excessive moral relativism and feminine chaos.
I asked about the relationship of all this to the French Revolution
The initial tearing down of the Patriarchy, figuratively and literally speaking
The erosion of Fatherly rule in the family,
How much was Louis 16th to blame?
Had he been more framed, would this have happened?
And lastly...
Men Marry, Women are given in marriage.
The passing of the Authority.
The Dowry
Father's relationship to the boy VS the girl.
There's alot more.
This has to be one of my best shows.
Enjoy.

Where are you on religion & christianity these days?
How does Bitcoin fit within this?
Why do you think Bitcoin is facing headwinds.
Their bags are their opportunity cost for being wrong about Bitcoin.
What do you say to a no-coiner who refuses to acknowledge things like "Bitcoin helps with runaway inflation", etc.

Peter St Onge, Research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, fellow at the Mises Institute and contributor at Zero Hedge.
In part 2 of the series, we managed to finally dig into his piece.
We tackled:

- Why, and How Bitcoin fundamentally changes this.
- Our current 400-year golden age beginning with the decentralization of the printing press
- What elements of this 400yrs were most golden?
- What evidence do we have to the contrary?
- We even looked at Chinese history.
Fascinating Stuff.

Allen Farrington joins me again to discuss:
The Separation of Economy & Politik
The final Cantillon effect: NVK
"Violence tends to local monopoly"
"You can't be maximally free"
Why Bitcoin is NOT a Store of Value - At least in the way people think of it.
The store of value narrative is prematurely understood
SoV is proportionality
Perfect proportionality is perfect SoV
Who is Wittgenstein?
Why is Bitcoin derangement syndrome so prevalent ?
Allen makes some great reading recommendations in this episode:

Ep 83: Responsibility Go Up Technology, with CJ Wilson
CJ Wilson joins me again to continue our conversation. In this episode we hit Responsibility and a whole series of unpopular political opinions, including the Shitcoin that is democracy.
Responsibility Go Up Technology
Responsibility hot potato.
UnPopular Opinions
Suffrage hurt the world more than central banking.
Popularity contest winners. Why voting doesn’t work.
Hitler didn’t claim power. He earned it.
Imagine if you have to pay to be in politics? We'd fix it.
We may even have real nobility once again.

Read 11. Ego is NOT the Enemy, by Svetski
Taking a little detour from Bitcoin history, and into Trigger-territory this week.
My latest article, is the first I've done in a LONG time that is not Bitcoin-centric, but life & philosophy centric.
I'm tired of all the "Ego death" myopia out there, spouted by faux philosophers like Ryan Holiday and their brainless acolytes who are simply empty vessels, easily influenced by vague platitudes like "no suffering & no self".
In this essay, I make the case for the necessity of the Ego, and suggest that you as a human, alive with a mind, body & soul, pay this ancient, emergent construct of nature (or gift of God), some respect.
Your Ego is your Character and your Personality.
"Ego Death" is nothing to proud of, nor something top be pursued. If that's your life's mission, you're an immature moron.
I hope this is triggering for those with fragile Egos, and for those who have the strength of character and fortitude of Ego, I hope you find it an argument with merit.

Read 10. Bitcoin is NOT Democratic, by Beautyon. 2014
Bitcoin history continues, with a slightly later piece than the prior. Only 3 years of difference, but certainly the next Era of Bitcoin. You can see the fidelity of the thinking increase and the level of glorious 'toxic' defence emerge.
Beautyon is a true champion of Bitcoin and he gets it more than most ever have or ever will.
Once again, reading it today is humbling, e specially when you realise it's more than 8 years old.
The patience and foresight is staggering.

Ep 80 Masculine & Feminine Erosion with Nozomi Hayase
Nozomi is a Bitcoiner & Liberation psychologist, basically the equivalent of an Austrian economist in the psychology space.
Back by popular demand, this is part 2 of the Masculine - Feminine series, which used her recent piece as inspiration:
https://nozomihayase.substack.com/p/bitcoin-the-networked-messiah?s=w
In this ep, we explore:
The brain split:
- Right brain: instinct & intuition. The primordial void.
- Left brain: Focus, order and structure. The abstracted order.
Man VS Boy
- Role Models
- The founding fathers
- Instinct & innate wisdom
- The lack of framed men.
- Their feminisation
The founding fathers had foresight and used instinct / innate wisdom when forming the constitution.
This was strong masculine.
Thomas Jefferson (Man) VS Alexander Hamilton (Boy)
How Society preys on our disintegration
Whether the old stories, like Disney’s Beauty & The Beast, were actually useful.
The problem lies not with “acceptance”, but with the functional interpretation in the world.
And so much more.

Ep 79: The Networked Messiah with Nozomi Hayase
Nozomi is a Bitcoiner & Liberation psychologist, basically the equivalent of an Austrian economist in the psychology space.
Back by popular demand.
In this episode, we explore her latest piece, Bitcoin; The Networked Messiah.
https://nozomihayase.substack.com/p/bitcoin-the-networked-messiah?s=w
And in particular, dive into the relationship, symbiosis and attempted erosion of both the Masculine and Feminine.
Questions we ask include:
- Where is something like religious authority important?
- Earned VS decreed authority
- The Shadow sides of the Masculine and Feminine
- Is there a difference between instinct & intuition?
My argument that modernity is caught in the struggle of the shadow of the feminine.
Tyranny, passive aggression, we’re all in this together, collectivism and deceit are all feminine characteristics
Is the relinquishing of power a transformation of the strong, protective masculine, into a dependant feminine.
It seems as though the attempt is to dissolve the ego and the individual into the mass of the collective is the transformation into feminine.
When we remove the ego, the individual, the masculine, we end up with the problem we have
The confused world is a mixture of the simultaneous erosion of both masculine, rational structure and the intuitive, feminine relationship to nature.
Hence why it seems to be a complex problem.
The founding fathers had foresight and used instinct / innate wisdom when forming the constitution.
This was strong masculine.
This was a KILLER episode.
Jack in and listen.

Ep 78: Money Messiah Pt 5. "Alchemy & The Philosopher's Stone" with John Vallis
"The alchemists interpreted reality as having a fractal-like structure, and that therefore truths revealed in the microcosm, could be applied to the macrocosm, and visa versa"
The series continues...
John and I explore Alchemy - an absolutely fascinating subject.
If you've not yet listened to part 1, 2 3 and 4 go back and listen to that first for fuller context.
Episode #70, #71, #72 and #77
In this episode, we ask:
- What is Alchemy?
- What was its pursuit?
- Why is Satoshi “The Alchemist”?
- Is Bitcoin The Philosopher's Stone?
- Are Bitcoiners the modern Alchemists?
- Why do some people succumb to Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome?
- What is a Heirophany?
And are Bitcoiners the first of the regenerative hero’s to undergo the process of internal value re-organisation?
--> Carl Jung refers to these people, who are first to encounter such novelty, as the ‘most refined and differentiated minds of the age’, who ‘detect emergent anomaly, and begin the process of adaptation to it, long before the average person notices any change whatsoever in circumstance.
This was one of my favourite discussions.

Ep 77: Money Messiah Pt 4. "The Hero Archetype" with John Vallis
Ep 77: Money Messiah Pt 4. "The Hero Archetype" with John Vallis
"The Messiah is the Peak Hero"
The series continues with John and I delving into some sticky topics around "The Hero Archetype".
I push him on the idea of nature trumping nurture, and we wind up in all sorts of places including the gradations of consciousness, reincarnation, Ego, Paradigm shifts and more.
We define the regenerative hero; He who is able to bring forth an optimal mode of being and makes sophisticated balance of chaos and order.
The best money and the regenerative hero developed similarly.
Both are a symbol, and a means to establish the highest form of truthful order.
All related to his groundbreaking piece; Money Messiah.

Read 7. The Milgram Experiments. "The most dangerous superstition" by Larken Rose
In this episode, we take a moment to explore The Milgram Experiments, and people's propensity to inflict pain on another, by virtue of obeying perceived authority.
This is such a powerful idea, and one that sits at the bedrock of the whole Remnant / Parasite / Masses framework.
In future I'll do one the Asch experiment also.
This is a fantastic book
I hope enjoy the excerpt.

Ep 76. Bitcoin is NOT Money. It's a Game with John Carvalho
John Carvalho, Bitcoin OG and founder of Synonym joins me to cover Bitcoin is a "Game".
- A definition of Bitcoin, not a metaphor.
- Bitcoin is not money, not energy, not a battery.
- Which Metaphors are useful?
- Religion & evolution.
- Consuming Reality
- Awareness / Consciousness
- Becoming an UberMensch
And we dug into the company he's founded, which I think is one of the most important in Bitcoin:
Synonym
New primitives for the web.
Web of Trust
Building the protocol, applications, or both?
And much more.

Read 6. "I'm Just Doing My Job". Excerpt from "The most dangerous superstition" by Larken Rose
In this episode, we read an excerpt from the great book by Larken Rose; "The Most Dangerous Superstition".
We explore a series of things including:
- "I'm just doing my job" syndrome
- The idea of a "Law Enforcer"
- Morality
- Free Will
And what I think is one of the most poignant points, the fact that the most dangerous thing people can do is not malevolence or violence, but blindly obeying orders.
This is a fantastic book
I hope enjoy the excerpt.

Q&A with Svetski. Ep 1. Parasites, Lemmings, Stupids and other ideas.
Hey everyone!
Trying something new today.
I wanted to answer a series of comments from Fountain and discuss a few outstanding ideas to make the podcast more interactive.
This is something I think I'll do every 20 or so episodes.
Maybe more frequently. Let's see how it goes.
Back to regular screening next week, with the next instalment of the Rob Malka series.
Lastly, I promised a link to the vide, The 5 Laws of Stupidity:
Enjoy!

Ep 72: Theology & Mythology. Money Messiah Pt 3 with John Vallis
"Money is to Markets, as God / Value is to Consciousness"
This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year.
If you've not yet listened to part 1 and 2, go back and listen to that first for fuller context.
Episode #70, and #71.
Part Three:
A discussion on Mythology & Theology.
Myths emerged as narratives as a means to teach us a meta.
Modes of being / operation.
Pagan, multi-variant gods as a map for multiple personalities for multiple contexts.
Mono-theistic god as the highest truth, the greatest good.
We ask a few thorny questions about Christianity and its expansion.
We talk about Nietzsche and "The Will to Power"
Who ask; "who defines good"?
And...Is there a thing such as a “greater good” ?
Is God:
The thing of highest value?
The thing of greatest truth?
The highest good?
The good is seeing / acting with a more truthful orientation?
Hence morality?
Hierarchies as an aggregate of values
The market as an aggregate of hierarchies
All of this, and a whole lot more.
Stay tuned for Part 4 and 5 of this mini-series!

Ep 71: Money Messiah Pt 2 with John Vallis
"The highest value becomes our god; the point where comparative values dissolve"
This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year.
If you've not yet listened to part 1, go back and listen to that first for fuller context. It's Episode #70.
Part two begins pulling apart the article itself starting with the big question:
What is value & where does it come from?
Key words that we use to help understand value are:
- Limitation
- Sacrifice
- Exclusion
- Selection
- Focus
- Prioritisation
All of course related to the concept of Hierarchies.
Another incredibly important idea that Jordan Peterson has popularised.
We then dive a little into:
- East VS West
- And how one is perhaps more liberation oriented, while the other more responsibility centric.
We talk about Nirvana and Satori.
Reaching a point where comparative values dissolve.
Is this state the "Apex state" and the goal we're aiming for, or just a way / direction?
We come up with the idea of "the interstitial nature of satori and value".
Then we related it to Spiral Dynamics.
This was a fascinating section.
We talk about "The highest value becomes our god"
We compare or relate everything against that primary value.
And a whole lot more.
Stay tuned for Part 3 of this mini-series!
