T.T. 29: the "Thousand Hours" of BTC Learning
Bitcoin is a THOUSAND HOUR topic... at the very least. Let's dive in a bit!
Hola amigos,
Greetings from El Zonte!
Another crazy week.
My life has gotten surreal since coming here.
Living on a Bitcoin Standard, full time!
Unexpectedly though…
The craziest aspect of my life here hasn’t even been El Salvador itself.
Not yet.
I’ve barely scratched the surface of Bitcoin Country so far!
More of that will come with time.
So far, however, my focus over the past month has been DIGITAL community.
Podcasts.
X.
Spaces.
Decentralized “networking” globally!
I spoke to Grant Cardone today.
And his brother Gary.
In a Spaces with 1,500 listeners.
Specifically on Satoshi’s “White Paper” — READING and DISCUSSION.
For five hours.

^ that’s the full link.
I cohosted the full five hours.
There will be a follow up. I’ll explain more later.
At this moment of writing, I have 18 minutes left until midnight to finish this “Thoreau Thursdays” post!
No time for details.
But here’s the most interesting 15 minute segment.
Speaking with real estate mogul Grant Cardone — estimated net worth ranging from $300 million to over a billion dollars potentially — as well as his brother, Gary, and over a thousand other listeners!
Hosted (impressively well) by “Maze Love” (33.1k followers on “X”)
ON THE TOPIC OF BITCOIN
I personally spoke several times throughout this particular clip.
Check it out:
Also relevant:
I mentioned this 21 minute video several times throughout that Spaces on the White Paper.
It’s THE BEST learning resource I’ve EVER seen for Bitcoin.
It’s a 21 minute, well-animated visual explanation of how “Proof of Work” ACTUALLY WORKS.
Check it out here:
Also worth mentioning:
This week really was crazy.
All three frontrunners for the Libertarian Party’s nominee in the 2024 election had a debate a couple days ago.
And ALL THREE FRONTRUNNERS SUPPORT BITCOIN!!!
Historic five minute clip:
And here’s a link to the full event:
(Timestamp set to the moment of the debate itself. Dave Smith also gave an opening speech though as well!)
Okay.
At this moment of writing, it’s now 14 minutes after midnight.
Technically Friday… damn.
I’ll finish up this “Thoreau Thursdays” post promptly now.
But it’s worth emphasizing.
I invested a significant amount of time into producing those clips for this post.
I’ve been planting seeds.
I invested 5 hours into cohosting a “Spaces” marathon… trying to help educate over a thousand people on the whitepaper.
Then I took the time to extract 15 minutes.
Specifically just one 15 minute segment — out of all those hours of work input — as the curated output worth your valuable time and attention.
I highly encourage you to actually go back and listen, if you just skimmed past it.
Same thing for the Libertarian Party debate.
Just one five minute clip.
Extracted from a full three hour video.
I watched the entire thing.
And then I took the time to pull out the most relevant — a truly HISTORIC — five minute clip.
ALL THREE FRONTRUNNERS FOR ‘24 ENDORSE BITCOIN!!!
That’s HISTORY.
15 minute clip
+
5 minute clip
In total, I condensed many hours of work to bring you the most interesting 20 minutes worth of clips that I possibly could for this brief weekly post.
And I look forward to bringing you a similar summary for whatever unexpected craziness I end up encountering next week!
See ya then :)
