Read_302 – Bitcoin is Not Too Volatile [Parker Lewis]

To think that a hard monetary asset, with a perfectly inelastic supply, could go from a $0 market with no infrastructure, liquidity, or demand, to a global monetary instrument with vast infrastructure, the highest market liquidity, demanded by billions, but that this could somehow occur *without* volatility in the price, is an absurd & deeply ignorant claim.  Thoroughly debunked by Parker Lewis in the continuation of his amazing “gradually, then suddenly” series at Unchained Capital.

Read_301 – Bitcoin Equals Freedom [Ross Ulbricht]

Following the anniversary of Ross Ulbricht’s arrest, and the fall of the Silk Road experiment, we read a short but extraordinary piece, hand written in a cell by Ross, on Bitcoin’s promise of freedom.  What did those first adopters, when Bitcoin had no price and no market, what did they see in those digital bits? How did Bitcoin achieve its first value, and what did it mean for our world?
