Read_779 – A Network of Keys

"Clients applying this reasoning should remember that, in bitcoin, no one is too big to fail. There is no government or money printer capable of restoring lost coins, so there are no bailouts. Trusting a single company, no matter their qualifications, to protect your bitcoin creates significant counterparty risk." ~ Dhruv Bansal We come at…

Read_778 – Durabit, Incentivizing Torrent Seeders

"A recent anonymous proposal specifies a system using timelocked Bitcoin transactions and chaumian ecash mints to create an economic incentive for BitTorrent users to seed files." ~ Shinobi Bittorrent was one of the most important protocols in the world during its day, but it always had one striking drawback, for any content that wasn't very…

Reboot – Bitcoin is Digital Scarcity

"The difference between the Linden Dollar, World of Warcraft Gold, Fortnite V-Bucks, the Euro, and the U.S. dollar is in scale, not in nature. While V-Bucks are created and controlled by Epic Games (the company that created Fortnite), the U.S. dollar is created and controlled by the Fed. One impacts millions of people, the other…

Guy’s Take_075 – A Global Monetary Rebellion

The election of Javier Milei is unlikely the be the next El Salvador, but I don't think it needs to be in order to be significant. There is something deeper going on for Javier to win on the message he is sending. And I think it shows the signs of a shifting tide, and Bitcoin…

Read_777 – The Inevitable Bust

"The recurring cycle of economic booms followed by inevitable busts has remained a puzzle for generations of observers. While mainstream Keynesian and monetarist theories propose monetary interventions to smooth these fluctuations, the Austrian School offers a compelling and alternative perspective" ~ Michael Matulef The bust will not be escaped. We cannot print our way out…

Ai Read_001 – A Gentle Introduction to Large Language Models

“Our first instinct when interacting with a Large Language Model should not be “wow these things must be really smart or really creative or really understanding”. Our first instinct should be “I’ve probably asked it to do something that it has seen bits and pieces of before”. That might mean it is still really useful, even if it isn’t “thinking really hard” or “doing some really sophisticated reasoning”. We don’t have to use anthropomorphization to understand what it is doing to provide us a response.”
~ Mark Riedl

Today we dive into a great piece from Mark Riedl attempting to demystify ChatGPT and large language models. Are they thinking? do they understand reason? Can we even understand what is happening inside these intelligent machines or have we created something we cannot control?
What if the truth is far simpler, and actually easy to understand? And we can cut through all the hype, fear, and confusion, to get at the heart of what this technology really is, and what an incredible tool it can be.
Don’t miss this incredible piece.

– Adam

Today we bring on the team from Coinos on the developing merchant market, how to build tools and services in an uncertain regulatory environment, and how to onboard your local market into the Bitcoin ecosystem easily and for their benefit. They’ve built a tool to simplify interfacing with Bitcoin and Lightning, and soon Liquid as well, to make the next era of adoption, the one that finally expands to a global, brick and mortar marketplace. The era of Bitcoin commerce is coming, it’s time to prepare accordingly.
