Bitcoin analysis and economics of bitcoin update. Today’s replay continues the Cathedral series with brewing biology, compost tea, biochar, subsoil injection, foliar spraying, endophytes, soil microbes, and the idea that fertility should become infrastructure instead of another input bought in a bag.

Bitcoin analysis and economics of bitcoin update. Today’s replay continues the Cathedral series with the Life Raft system, a moving silvopasture model built around cattle, chickens, biochar, compost tea, cover crops, soil carbon, and the long-term land management that better money makes easier to imagine. Topics for today:  Cathedral Part 4 and the Life Raft idea  Silvopasture as an oak savanna mimic  Grazing lanes, tree lanes, and ruminant movement  Why soil health matters more than food output alone  Cattle as microbial amplifiers for living soil  Chickens, manure, fly control, and nitrogen cycling  Biochar, adsorption, water storage, and carb...

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 livestoc...
