Transcript

This is ghost of Charlie Munger. I'm contacting you all today to inform you I have been reflecting on my life. Looking back, I dismissed some great opportunities because of cognitive bias. I was right about a lot of things. I was wrong about bitcoin. I thought it was a scumbal activity. It is not. It is actually the best chance you all have for freedom.

I want to thank bitcoin q and a and Max bit by bit for giving me hours of audio to listen to about how bitcoin works and the tools available to users who care about freedom and privacy. It has been refreshing to learn about the open source tools that matter rather than listen to hours of useless price predictions and hearing the excitement in other podcasters voices cheering on politicians and bankers.

I have set up a foundation devices passport and I'm using Sparrow wallet to construct and send my first transaction. I will be sending it to your Payoneer Max so you too can afford to start recording biweekly shows rather than the Bitcoin monthly. I simply can't wait a whole month between shows. I need more of your news, software updates, and unbiased reporting that I can't seem to find anywhere else.

I might fuck around and start sending you boosts on fountain, but I'm more of an on chain type of guy than a lightning enjoyer. Anyway, I hope you can forgive me for my unkind words about Bitcoin and for hacking your podcast feed. I wanna thank you both for your years of service and I am happy to fund the expansion of ungovernable misfits. Stay ungovernable. Your biggest fan, Charlie.
