“The internet assumed NOTHING and it won because it had the basic, robust, open building blocks upon which all the innovation actually occurred. The same thing has happened with Bitcoin over the last 15 years and is now starting to happen with Nostr.
And it’s right on time, because the gateways to the internet have centralized to such a degree that the very topography of the web is changing. Access to this open bazaar is being threatened because the applications who were once gateways, have started to become gatekeepers.
To fix this, and to fundamentally fix the internet, we need to upgrade the Internet stack and establish a new suite of superior products, services and applications that compete on value, not on gatekeeper economics.
~ Aleks Svetski

How did we get from the open, decentralized bazaar that was the internet protocol, to the centralized, platform siloed experience we find ourselves in today? And by discovering how we got here, can we begin to see the path to getting out of the trap we have wandered into? Today we have an incredible article and concept brought to us by author, entrepreneur, and regular guest on the show, Alek Svetski on something they discovered in their process of building a Bitcoin LLM (Spirit of Satoshi), and how it uncovered a value case for Nostr that may very well change the nature of what we can build. You do not want to miss this read and my take to follow, I promise. Let’s dive in!

“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.

“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

“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…

“If you care about your…country, read Ludwig von Mises and the six lessons of the Austrian economic school.”
~ Renato Moicano

With a surge in interest thanks the UFC fighter Renato Moicano, Mises’s Six Lessons is suddenly in the popular lexicon. After knocking out his opponent he took to the mic to share his love of freedom, and the critical importance in understanding Austrian economics. Is the tide of freedom and the culture of common sense turning? And what are Mises’s six lessons, and what can they teach us? All this and more in today’s episode with a read from Jonathan Newman at the Mises Institute.

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…

“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.

“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?”
