    Chat_106 - Bitcoin Stream Test #133 [Meme Factory™]

    "Something else has to go down in order for something to go up. That's why it is specifically a relative weight between all of these things... You can't just charge $100,000 dollars for something if nobody has that money, and then think that you're gonna sell it. You'll never can't sell it for that. You can't sell something for an amount of money that doesn't exist. Just look at the stock market. You're just looking at money printing going into the financial system before going into everything else. That's all it is."

    Guy's Take_088 - The Hard Truth

    It's time to accept some hard truths. Today we are going to challenge some common assumptions about Bitcoin's scalability, privacy, and transaction fees. Is Bitcoin really even global peer-to-peer cash for everyone? Is privacy even still in the cards for Bitcoin? Is there anything left in crypto at all? And what will be the future nature of fees when Bitcoin is a global dominant store of value, and is there an analogous market can we explore today for insight into what this market may look like in the coming decades? It's time for a Guy's take episode...

    TPR_004 - Monetizing Freedom - Ostriches, Pears, and Open Source Challenges with BitKarrot

    "I really wanted to screen share stuff with people and make it as easy as possible and I got fed up. So I was just like, okay, you know, let's throw this up and let's stick on a nostr log in and let's add lightning zaps to it as a starting point. It was pushed out a bit prematurely, but... I think a lot of people want to use it.. they want a way to talk to other people where you're not really getting tracked.
    We want to be able to provide a space where people don't feel like there's some Googly eyes watching whatever they're talking about. And I don't want to know either... the way I think about this is if someone comes along and subpoenas penis that server, there's nothing there."
    ~ BitKarrot


    What if the future of the internet lies in decentralized, peer-to-peer technologies? In this wide-ranging conversation with BitKarrot, explore the challenges and opportunities of building open-source projects in the Bitcoin and Nostr ecosystems. From the intricacies of monetization to the potential of AI integration, discover how developers are working to create a more private, sovereign internet experience. But can these grassroots efforts compete with the centralized tech giants, and what hurdles must be overcome to achieve mass adoption?

    Chat_105 - Bitcoin and AI [The Investor's Podcast Network]

    "Only the giant corporations are gonna have this and anybody less than a billion dollars, these won't exist. And that was scary, I was like, this can undo what Bitcoin is doing unless we get ahead of this. Luckily I actually now think that despite the fact that there will elements of centralizing forces in AI, this will contribute more to the diseconomies of scale of the giant corporate setup and the government institutions in the sense that the bigger you are, the less it helps you."
    ~ Guy Swann


    I had the pleasure of chatting with Preston Pysh about the fascinating intersection of AI, Bitcoin, and identity. This conversation dives deep into the transformative potential of AI and its implications for the future of decentralized systems. We explore how AI can synthesize vast amounts of information and discuss why AI models might become a decentralizing force. We also delve into the incentives driving data accumulation and why starting AI models from scratch isn't the optimal approach. Additionally, I share my thoughts on Sam Altman's World Coin and the growing connection between identity and AI, including how to navigate this pairing. Finally, we touch on the necessity of immediate settlement for AI advancements. Tune in to explore these compelling topics and more!

    Read_835 - Chain of Custody Part 2 - X Marks the Spot

    "The former Speaker predicts "The dollar will suffer a major confidence shock” and as a result asks, “What can be done?” His immediate answer is to “start by taking stablecoins seriously.” Dollar-backed stablecoins are arriving as “an important net purchaser of U.S. government debt,” with stablecoin issuers now the 18th largest holder of US Debt. Ryan goes on to say that “if fiat-backed dollar stablecoin issuers were a country,” that nation “would sit just outside the top 10 in countries holding Treasurys,” still less than Hong Kong but “larger than Saudi Arabia,” our former partner in the petrodollar system."
    ~Mark Goodwin & Whitney Webb

    In the shadowy world where finance meets technology, a select group of powerful players are shaping the future of money itself. From the founding of Visa to the halls of Harvard and the US Treasury, follow the intricate web connecting Wences Casares' bitcoin vault Xapo to Wall Street giants and former government officials. As regulatory battles loom, will this new financial paradigm strengthen or undermine traditional banking and government control? Find out in Part 2 of Chain of Custody.

    Read_834 - Chain of Custody - The Mafia Holding the Elite's Bitcoin

    "Much like the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders program has facilitated the placement of its trained, ideological allies in positions of top political power around the world, groups like Endeavor and their equivalents help ensure that similarly controlled business leaders dominate the private sector and become the public face of emerging market monopolies that are, ultimately, part of a broader network." ~ Mark Goodwin & Whitney Webb

    What if a network of powerful governments and billionaires were quietly digging their tentacles into emerging markets around the world to hold sway over a publci-private partnership that shaped policies and governance around the world? Today we dive into a complex web of connections linking tech giants, "philanthropists," intelligence agencies and more to a broader network of institutions vying for control over the markets and political systems of developing countries the world over, and who have sunk their teeth into the Bitcoin world as well. A wild investigation by Mark Goodwin and Whitney Webb that is not to be missed.

    Chat_104 - Immutable Democracy with Carlino

    "You eliminate 99% of the attack surface to a single moment in time, which is the beginning. And when you do that, would-be attackers are forced to take risks and make mistakes. You know, when someone is planning on doing election fraud, this doesn't mean that it's impossible for them to do it. But it narrows the window so much that they are likely going to mess up. And when they mess up, you catch them." ~ Carlino

    When people usually talk about alternative bitcoin "utility" they often mean NFTs, trash tokens, and "jpegs on the blockchain." But what if there really is another utility, one that doesn't suffer the damaging externalities and is closer to the core of what the timechain really is? Could Bitcoin protect the integrity of national elections? Diving into groundbreaking case study from Guatemala, we explore this idea with Carlino. Can this revolutionary approach be applied globally to ensure transparent and tamper-proof democratic processes?

    Read_833 - Between Bitcoin Layers - Boltz Builds Trustless Transfers

    "Submarine Swaps employ hash time-locked contracts (HTLCs), which in layperson’s terms, enable two transactions (both sides of the swap) to happen simultaneously by linking them together cryptographically inside of a smart contract. Using this technology, there is no way for one exchange to occur without the other occurring at the same moment.

    This is the most trustless solution that exists for moving sats between Bitcoin layers." ~ Frank Corva

    What role do trustless bridges play in connecting Bitcoin's various layers? Dive into the world of Boltz, a non-custodial exchange service that's quietly revolutionizing how we move Bitcoin between the base chain, Lightning Network, and Liquid. Discover how atomic swaps and submarine swaps are making cross-layer transfers more efficient and seamless. What implications do they hold for the future of Bitcoin's layered ecosystem?

    Chat_103 - Rethinking Bitcoin Education and Self-Custody Parenting

    "When you have a child, you care more than anyone else about that child. You're caring about their long-term success and happiness and their health. If you look at just a first principles basis, what is the school interested in? What is the state interested in? It's more about compliance and conformity. It's not about creativity. It's not about critical thinking. It is conformity and compliance." ~ Tali & Scott

    Can a board game teach Bitcoin better than a lecture? Join Tali, Scott, and me as we explore the power of storytelling and games in education, delve into the failures of traditional schooling, and discuss innovative ways to engage and educate about Bitcoin. Discover how a simple game can make complex economic concepts accessible and fun for everyone.
