from Bitcoin And | Bitcoin & Economic News Hosted by David Bennett | Bitcoin & Economic News
Episode 1146 of Bitcoin And . . . is back in the feed from the Bitcoin And archive. Bitcoin analysis and economics of bitcoin update. Today’s replay steps outside the normal bitcoin news cycle and continues the Cathedral project, a thousand-year silvopasture idea built around land, fertility, long-term productivity, and the kind of time preference that only starts to make sense when the money works again. Topics for today: Why good money makes long-term projects imaginable again The three laws behind the Cathedral project Black walnut, black locust, and honey locust tree lanes Hedgerows as living fences, wildlife habitat, and livestock control Biochar, water retention, carbon storage, and soil fertility Mycorrhizal fungi as an underground communications network Hogs, nut crops, grazing lanes, and premium farm products Cathedral as a clock, calendar, and living computer Get Your Free Comfrey Owner's Manual Here: https://www.bitcoinandshow.com/the-comfrey-owners-manual-is-here/ Help a Brother Out With 5 Star Reviews: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news/id1438789088 Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dsTluNHIPNsXVRghpqxhY Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9ef7d5b6-9137-439d-94eb-8071ec6bf890/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWaKxaQF5Q5WiTq80SBYs_7iLDtleV0rZ Find the Bitcoin And Podcast on every podcast app here: https://episodes.fm/1438789088 Find me on nostr npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd (npub) 6389be6491e7b693e9f368ece88fcd145f07c068d2c1bbae4247b9b5ef439d32 (Hex) Twitter: https://twitter.com/DavidB84567 StackerNews: stacker.news/NunyaBidness Podcasting 2.0: fountain.fm/show/eK5XaSb3UaLRavU3lYrI Apple Podcasts: tinyurl.com/unm35bjh Mastodon: https://noauthority.social/@NunyaBidness Support Bitcoin And . . . on Patreon: patreon.com/BitcoinAndPodcast Find Lightning Network Channel partners here: https://t.me/+bj-7w_ePsANlOGEx (Nodestrich) https://t.me/plebnet (Plebnet) Music by: Flutey Funk Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
