    Take_094 - Focus

    "Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing."
    — Ron Swanson

    Focus. Easily spoken, hard to live by. There are many lessons that Bitcoin teaches, and one that is more clearly true the older I get, is that every single thing in a trade off. And not just solutions, or tools, or networks, but the very thing that you spend your time thinking about, at the expense of all other things. What dreams you spend your time building, at the expense of all other dreams. What new ideas you begin, at the expense of what you've already started, and not yet finished.

    Its time for an overdue change, and today I wanted to share my thoughts, how we got here, and what to expect in the future.

    Read_854 - Guerilla Open Access Manifesto

    "There is no justice in following unjust laws. It's time to come into the light and in the grand tradition of civil disobedience declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture. We need to take information wherever it is stored make our copies and share them with the world. We need to take stuff that's out of copyright and add it to the archive.
    We need to buy secret databases and put them on the web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks. We need to fight for guerrilla openaccess."
    — Aaron Swartz


    What happens when the pursuit of knowledge and information is restricted by those in power? Can the free flow of ideas be considered a moral imperative, and what are the consequences for those who dare to challenge the status quo? In this episode, we explore the Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto and the story of Aaron Swartz, a pioneer in the fight for open access to information.

    Chat_118 - Reviving Resiliency, Autonomy, and Masculinity with the Bitcoin Vets

    "Once you understand the economic situation of the United States and how they're in a debt spiral, there's only one way out of it and it's to turn the money printer on so that they can inflate.

    Once you understand that that's their incentive, their incentive is not to spend money efficiently, it's to pump more dollars into the system, and any excuse they can use to do that, they're gonna take it... and a disaster is the perfect opportunity."
    ~Jordan

    What happens when disaster strikes and the traditional systems of aid and support fail? Can decentralized networks and technologies like Bitcoin and mesh networks fill the gap and provide a more effective response?
    Join me as I discuss this and more with my guests, who have been on the ground in North Carolina, responding to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

    Read_853 - Bitcoin Appeals to the Old System's Deepest Flaw

    "How could any financial system avoid being captured by those who already hold the most power and wealth? Won’t it just lead to the same unequal system again, only in a new form?” you might ask. The answer is as simple as it is powerful."
    — Petter Englund


    Will a Bitcoin-based economy simply perpetuate the same inequalities as our current system with the same elite dominating, or does it offer a fundamentally different paradigm? Can a system based on sound money actually reduce the influence of the wealthy and powerful, and incentivize the creation of real value? Dive into this thought-provoking article and Guy's rant to follow, as we explore the potential of Bitcoin to radically transform our economic landscape.

    Chat_117 - Bitcoin Threat Vectors on Final Settlement

    In this previous episode of Final Settlement, I joined the show to tackle custodial threat vectors and the security challenges unique to Bitcoin. We discussed Bitcoin as apolitical money and its role as a digital bearer instrument, which brings with it the complex issue of secure custody. I shared insights from a recent personal security incident when my room was broken into at a Bitcoin conference in Lugano, underscoring the very real risks we face.

    We explored the evolution of Bitcoin custody, the importance of multisig setups, and the approach of Onramp’s Multi-Institution Custody in mitigating custodial threats. Raising awareness about these risks is essential, and this conversation offered important takeaways for anyone looking to secure their Bitcoin. It’s a crucial discussion worth revisiting as the industry continues to grow.

    Read_852 - Nature's Many Attempts to Evolve a Nostr

    "The server owns your data, owns your account, and owns the cryptographic keys used to secure it.

    That last bit is obscure, but important. Cryptographic keys are how we enforce security, privacy, ownership, and control in software. Not your keys, not your data."
    — Gordon Brander

    What is the key to achieving true freedom and autonomy in our digital lives? We have tried so many times and continue to learn lessons as the natural progression of networks reconsolidates around a central entity or oligopoly that soon turns from providing a service, to exerting its power. Why does this happen and how do we prevent it? Is it inevitable, or are we watching the slow evolution and failing to simply see the clear path it is leading us toward? Today we dive into a fantastic article by Gordon Brander on the evolution of networks, and the emergence of Nostr.

    Guy's Take_093 - The Guy Who Broke into Our Room in Lugano

    Was a recent break-in at a luxurious hotel just a coincidence, or a targeted attack on a Bitcoiner? We should expect that bitcoiners will be targeted. If not by governments, then simply by thieves, scammers, and opportunists. This is something that my brother and I learned very acutely with our trip to Lugano and the Plan B conference, where a man broke into our hotel room presumably to get access to our devices or steal any valuables we may have been traveling with, and we caught him in the act. This episode is a lesson in preparedness, complacency, and hopefully a wake up call to those who think things will be smooth sailing. Don't be one who has to learn the truth the hard way.

    Read_851 - Bitcoin's Exchange Theory of Value

    "The market of bitcoin holders will ultimately expand to be larger than the size of any single country, and direct exchange will be possible by and between more people than ever before. That itself might be the single largest driving force that will expand the scope of trade and direct exchange–more people holding and being willing to accept bitcoin will create more trade channels than could possibly exist in the fiat world."
    — Parker Lewis

    Is it paradoxical that bitcoin's value could increase as it becomes easier to spend? In this episode, we explore the idea that bitcoin's value is rooted in its utility as a medium of exchange, and what this might mean for its future adoption and use.

    Chat_116 - Bitcoin Is Money For Heroes [TFTC]

    In a episode of TFTC, I sat down with Marty Bent to break down the reality behind the hurricanes devastating America and the government's inept or even malicious response to these disasters. We explored the absurdity of resource allocation, the overwhelming destruction, and how people on the ground are often 1000x more effective than the bureaucratic systems in place. We also discussed the important work of Bitcoin Veterans, and how disaster and conflict can turn into rackets.

    Throughout the conversation, we touched on the lethargy of government in the face of urgent crises and how open-source innovation, including AI, could provide better solutions. This was an important and insightful discussion that cuts through mainstream narratives, revealing truths that need to be heard. It’s a valuable conversation that I’m excited to share again.

    Read_850 - Three Doors, Which Will Bitcoin Choose?

    "A victory in revolution doesn’t come free or easy. For Bitcoin to really do what many of us hope it can, it’s really necessary at the end of the day to walk a painful path. And that means people have to choose to walk it. Many people in this space think that governments will simply roll over and let Bitcoin win, but that is just a feint to move in and capture it.

    We need to push to build around them, build in parallel, and force their hand. If they don’t actively fight it, then there is something else going on. That isn’t good for us." — Shinobi

    Will Bitcoin's path forward be one of capitulation to the existing financial system, a revolution against it, or fragmentation into a multitude of smaller, less effective networks? An article by Shinobi, reflecting on the 2013 musings of Mircea Popescu, explores these possibilities and more. Today we get both Shinobi's and Guy's Take on the future of Bitcoin, its potential to reshape the global economy, and which door it will choose.
