They discuss the challenges of gaining visibility for SeedSigner, a grassroots Bitcoin project, and the hurdles faced in a space dominated by larger players with vested interests. Despite these challenges, SeedSigner remains committed to its mission of providing an open-source, DIY Bitcoin savings tool.They also touch on the broader Bitcoin ecosystem, expressing concerns about the lack of focus on privacy and the increasing compliance culture within the community. The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including the balance of family life and work, and the importance of spending quality time with loved ones.The discussion meanders through various topics, from the cultural differences between urban and rural areas in the UK and the US, to the potential of multisig setups for Bitcoin security.

Unveiling the Unseen Realm ✨ | The Confab 08: Kerim
Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.On this episode, the inaugural guest, Kerim, makes a home visit to speak with Max.Show DiscussionIf you're here solely for Bitcoin content, you might want to skip this one, as we delve into a myriad of topics ranging from lost worlds, drug use, history, angels, demons, and gods. The audio quality isn't the best, as it was recorded in my kitchen with only one shared mic, but I hope it's still enjoyable.We begin with a discussion on the nature of reality and imagination, exploring how they intertwine and influence each other. Kerim shares his experiences with psychedelics, particularly ketamine, and how these have led to profound insights and encounters with entities. We delve into the concept of shared visions and telepathy, questioning the boundaries of perception and consciousness.The conversation takes a turn towards ancient history and mythology, as Kerim discusses the Hermetic principles and their impact on his understanding of the world. We explore the idea of ancient civilizations, lost continents like Lemuria and Mu, and the potential existence of advanced technologies in the past.Kerim shares a personal story from a festival where he believes he encountered entities through other people, leading to a deep existential crisis and a reevaluation of reality. We discuss the nature of good and evil, the influence of secret societies, and the potential for magic and spells in the modern world.Throughout the episode, we touch on various conspiracy theories, the influence of ancient aliens, and the cyclical nature of human consciousness. It's a wild ride of a conversation, blending personal anecdotes with speculative theories, all while questioning the very fabric of our reality.LAST EPISODE WITH KERIM: https://episodes.fm/1491067458/episode/YWEyZmI0OGEtMmI2Mi00ZjI1LWI1YzUtNTUxZTI3NGVkZjUzIMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.com https://p2prights.org/donate.htmlSHOW SPONSORSFOUNDATION (https://foundation.xyz/ungovernable)Foundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today’s tech conglomerates.

He shares his excitement about setting up a Foundation Devices Passport and using Sparrow Wallet to make his first Bitcoin transaction.In a surprising turn, Charlie announces his intention to support the podcast financially, enabling more frequent biweekly episodes instead of the current monthly schedule. He expresses his eagerness for more news, software updates, and unbiased reporting from the Ungovernable Misfits team.Charlie concludes with a heartfelt apology for his previous harsh words about Bitcoin and a promise to continue supporting the podcast, even hinting at sending boosts on Fountain.
