    "As we discussed in Entering the Bitcoin Renaissance, our last edition, Lightning Labs CEO and Co-Founder Elizabeth Stark told The Block, “a major narrative of the next cycle will be the bitcoin renaissance, and it has already begun in full swing.” Only a few months later, and that is proving to be quite prescient!"

    ~Ryan Gentry


    Today we dive into a piece from Lightning Labs, "The Bitcoin Renaissance: How Lightning Will Connect Everything" that details out the major advances in the ecosystem of layer 2's on Bitcoin, the surge in development excitement, the multitude of projects unveiled in the past few months, the increasing connection between lightning and Ai, and the projects to keep en eye on as we head into another Bitcoin cycle. If you want a picture into the Lightning ecosystem and the many projects solving problems and creating new value, this is the read to queue up.

    Chat_098 - Replacing Gold with Tuur Demeester

    "What are we actually about? It's to an extent an open question. It's not like the Cypherpunks knew at all. It's part of our job to continue to try and figure it out. In a way we've been given this Arthurian sword or something. This very powerful thing. And so it's like, what are we going to do with it? I think that's a big part of our homework."

    ~ Tuur Demeester


    Tuur Demeester joins us to day as we dig into Bitcoin's past halvings and market cycles and how they compare to today. With 12 years of perspective, where are we in reference to the larger trends and what may lie ahead in the coming future? Tuur is deeply knowledgeable on the macro landscape and in seeing how the pieces of the puzzle fit together, explains the differences that allow us to know that Bitcoin's destiny will not end up like gold's, and a worthy note, he is also incredibly bullish. The world is changing, and Bitcoin is changing it. Don't miss this excellent conversation with Tuur Demeester

    Read_816 - Why I'm Still Not Buying Bitcoin

    "I'm a Bitcoin skeptic. I'm not buying Bitcoin in 2024, even if it goes back to its recent all-time highs, or higher. Here's why."

    ~ Ben Gran


    Ben breaks down his view of Bitcoin and why he cannot see or understand any reason it would go higher. Why he doesn't invest in things that don't produce anything, because this is antithetical to investment. Why he doesn't see how something that has no purpose could possibly continue increasing in value. And how something that people claim will be the most valuable asset in the world, will also be the dominant money, because (obviously) these two ideas are contradictory. It's important to refresh our understanding of the typical person's perspective of Bitcoin, in order to be able to relate to, and hopefully explain where their thinking is wrong. So that is what I hope to do in today's episode, reading "Why I'm Still Not Buying Bitcoin in 2024" from the Motley Fool...

    Guy's Take_084 - Fiat Finance

    Many people make the serious miscalculation, that if the CPI isn't too high, then printing money isn't a problem and doesn't really cost them anything. This couldn't be further from the truth. All it means is that the cost is just that much harder to see. But if you want to look at something that is truly dominated by the fiat culture and incentives of the money, there is no better example, than finance. This is where the money printing begins, and so all of the disastrous effects of monetary inflation and fiat, occur first, and to the greatest degree, in the financial sector. So take a dive, into fiat finance. Its time for a guy's take episode...

    Read_814 - Dogma Kills Brain Cells

    "That dogma was necessary — without it the people who have built this ecosystem into what it is today wouldn’t have had the motivation to do so. Without that dogma, those people would not have had customers and users to build anything for in the first place. It was the foundation of everything we have around us today.

    Now the inevitable is happening: the foundation is cracking."

    ~ Shinobi


    Guy Swan delves into an article by Shinobi from Bitcoin Magazine, exploring the complexities of ideological dogmas within the Bitcoin community. The episode questions the sustainability of foundational beliefs that have driven the cryptocurrency's ecosystem thus far. What happens when the dogmatic pillars that supported the growth of Bitcoin begin to crumble? Tune in as Guy Swan offers a deep dive into these evolving controversies, providing insights that challenge the conventional wisdom of Bitcoin's invulnerability to ideological shifts.

    Read_813 - Mises's Regression Theorem, Bitcoin, and Subjective Value

    "On the face of it, Bitcoin’s existence seems to violate Mises’s theorem, unless a preceding non-monetary use can be demonstrated. That is, Bitcoin would have to be first valued for its direct utility before it could hold indirect exchange value. So have the criteria been met, or does Bitcoin violate the theorem?" - Emile Phaneuf


    You've inevitably come across the argument that Bitcoin violates Mises's Regression Theorem if you've been in bitcoin long enough, but is this really true? And with the obvious and undeniable emergence of Bitcoin, what can this tell us about Mises's observation, and how it applies with the dynamics of the digital age?"

    Chat_097 - Lightning Offline with Super Testnet

    "Hedgehog uses relative time locks. So that if they don't have to worry about closing that channel with a relative time lock, it's whenever you do close the channel, now you've got 2016 blocks to sweep the money using the pre-image. Otherwise I can sweep it after those 2016 blocks go by... And because it only uses relative time locks, it's much more delay tolerant... In the Lightning Network today, you've got hours to settle these things. And often if someone sends a zap to somebody and then they turn off their computer or turn off their phone and go to the supermarket or whatever, they come back and their channel's been forced closed because it's not very delay tolerant. It only gives you hours. But the Hedgehog Network can give you months."

    ~ Super Testnet


    In this episode, I dive into the challenging yet fascinating topic of offline payments with my guest, Super Testnet. Super Testnet, a seasoned independent freelance software developer, shares his latest venture into solving some of the Lightning Network's most persistent challenges through a new protocol called Hedgehog. We discuss the technical nitty-gritty of Lightning transactions, the innovative approach of revocable scripts, and how Hedgehog might just change the game for Lightning Network payments.
    The conversation covers the mechanics of the Lightning Network, the complexities of conducting seamless transactions without both parties being continuously online, and the promising solutions Hedgehog proposes. Additionally, we touch upon BitVM, delving into its development, functionality, and potential impact on the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.
    If you are interested in understanding the technical foundations of Bitcoin's second-layer solutions and the cutting-edge developments aimed at refining digital transactions for enhanced efficiency, security, and ease of use, then this one's for you.

    Guy's Take_083 - It's Going Up Forever, Laura

    "It's going up forever, Laura."

    ~ Michael Saylor


    I know to many people that sounds crazy, and I can still see in my mind why it sounds crazy. Today, I'm going to make the argument for why it isn't crazy, but both natural and intuitive. Also, why it *doesn't* mean what you are probably picturing in your head. I'm going to make the case today, and I hope that you walk away realizing that this isn't unrealistic at all, but is the way it's *supposed to work,* that Bitcoin is, in fact, going up forever, Laura.

    Chat_096 - Surviving the Shift to a Bitcoin World with Jack Spirko
    "People that are in the Western world and specifically in the United States, what they're realizing, whether they can say it this way or not, is you're watching the end of an empire. I said this for a long time, and it's not the empire is going to collapse. The empire is collapsing right now. We are in the midst of, and people say economic collapse, it's empire collapse, which means economic is part of it." ~ Jack Spirko In this episode I interview Jack Spirko, host of The Survival Podcast, delving into the intersection of self-reliance, Bitcoin, and navigating the complexities of modern society.We explore the significance of preparedness in the digital age, the evolution of Bitcoin and its role in fostering financial autonomy, and discuss practical strategies for building a self-sufficient lifestyle amidst the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

    Read_812 - Congress is Criminalizing Privacy

    "We know the law is unconstitutional.

    FinCEN knows the law is unconstitutional.

    FinCEN knows we know the law is unconstitutional.

    And yet we're supposed to pretend like nothing happened and comply with an illegal law."

    ~ Jameson Lopp


    What do we do when a regulatory agency continues to enforce an illegal law against a judicial verdict? Jameson Lopp explores the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), revealing how it mandates extensive reporting to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, compromising individual privacy and security under the guise of legal compliance. How does this act, despite being challenged for its constitutionality, reflect broader tensions between privacy rights and government surveillance in the digital age?
