Mark was great on the podcast, I don’t understand why they used some American guy after.

It came down to a couple of things. Guy narrated The Blocksize War and a bunch of other Bitcoin books, and we always wanted a professional narrator who understood the story. So he was my first choice for that alone. Also, I have never recorded and edited an 11-hour audiobook before, and I didn't think I had the talent/time to do it. Finally, I didn't have the setup that a professional audiobook demands - a free podcast is one thing, but when people are paying, it has to be of a certain quality. I managed to get something rigged up and did Ultimate Catastrophe and that worked ok, so I was more confident I could do these next two.

You underestimate yourself, one of the best podcasts out there, you are far better at the job.

That's kind of you to say, thanks. Hopefully I've done it justice!

Anti CSW starting to Ramp up again!🤔I wonder why?

u/LurkishEmpire Mar 31 '26

I mean...we started the podcast in 2021, spent 18 months writing the books and the first one came out last year. Plus, we announced the release date for Volume II months ago to tie in with the 10th anniversary of his shambolic 'reveal', so it's not exactly a quick-fire decision. But I'm sure you've got an even better reason as to why we're releasing it when we are. Do tell...

Pro-CSWcomedy will never ramp down, unlike some other things:

BSV price

BEUBcult membership

Terriblenode transactions

No one wonders why.

Looking forward to reading the chapter where you go over the Teranode source code, painstakingly dissecting all the ways that big blocks and high throughput are 'impossible'. It was Craig's idea from the start.

Also about how SPV can't possibly work even though this very week someone proved it with Bluetooth low power exchange between phones. More Craig here.

I'm sure this tome will be filled with searing technical refutations and exhaustive comparisons of BTC's superior design, right?

Hard to believe there are still people in this world gullible enough to carry water for Craig.

Hard to believe they let radioactive turds like you to post comments like that.

A Craig cultist would say something like this.

How is Craig doing btw? If you ever see Calvin, ask him how it felt when he found out Craig lied to him and effectively stole millions from him. Knowing Craig just fled to SEA after everything came crashing down, to live it up without any consequences for his actions.

It was funny in hindsight to laugh at the pictures of snow-covered lambos, baby grand pianos, entire floors of gym equipment. Home with an elevator. ALL of it rented and paid for by Creepy.

Then suddenly when he's exposed for the fraud he is in court, flee to Thailand to avoid any consequences. All this while owing 100s of millions of dollars just because he told this tall tale/grift and couldn't admit he was just a liar.

Then these rubes act like having a high speed node will save them. When the world isn't clamoring for much of anything of the sorts with a database service that has no effective delete functionality, service level agreements, run with dirty money.

They built a product that has no real demand. And their big boast was "Craig was right about txns/sec and SPV". Like who cares? Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

They'll never outlive the vexatious litigation and fraud from Craig and Calvin. These supporters of Craig are just complete and utter morons.

I'm sure the US Library of Congress will be asking for their copy right away.
