Read_771 – Beating Fiat with the Breez SDK

"There used to be tradeoffs between Lightning and fiat: UX vs. sovereignty; UX vs. speed; UX vs. cost; off-the-shelf fiat payment widgets vs. coding a node into an app. With the Breez SDK, Lightning beats fiat across the board. It’s faster to implement (as Ross says, “It’s like one or two API calls to set up a…

Read_770 – The Big Deal with BitVM

"It requires no consensus changes to Bitcoin at all. The trick is lifting all of that logic off-chain and being able to challenge a few steps of the computation on-chain if the other party asserts a dishonest outcome. In short, BitVM will bring arbitrary Turing-complete computation, in an enforceable way, to bitcoin itself – today."…

Guy’s Take_071 – But Bitcoin Doesn’t Innovate

I hope you listened to the recent read by Beautyon, Bitcoin and Software Reliability, because today we continue our FUD Relief series. I suspect you have heard the claim that "Bitcoin doesn't innovate" and that newer and shinier blockchains are destined to replace it. I explore this idea today and suggest that the very framing…

Reboot – Bitcoin & Software Reliability

"With Bitcoin, lives and money are at stake. Interruption of its service can cause a cascade of losses and unintended consequences for potentially millions of people and billions of fiat dollars. If it is possible to build a Bitcoin that cannot fail, that should be the goal, and no compromise should be acceptable." — Beautyon…

Reboot – Bitcoin & Software Reliability

“With Bitcoin, lives and money are at stake. Interruption of its service can cause a cascade of losses and unintended consequences for potentially millions of people and billions of fiat dollars. If it is possible to build a Bitcoin that cannot fail, that should be the goal, and no compromise should be acceptable.” — Beautyon
Before we get into a Guy’a Take to continue our FUD Relief series – addressing the failures to understand the value and purpose of Bitcoin – it’s time to bring a brilliant piece back from the archive, update the audio and give some fresh commentary to set the stage for tackling another common misconception of “progress” when it comes to the bitcoin perspective. If there was a top tier of articles that are must-listens to grasp bitcoin, this would be in it. Let’s dive in.

Read_769 – Orange is the New Green

"Our existing financial system is a mirage of wealth and liquidity, sustained by an ever-expanding money supply.

Ai_007 – Global Markets for GPU Power with Christopher David

What if we could mitigate the enormous centralizing effects of the massive server farms and huge corporate entities, by pooling the GPU power of the millions of users and tinkerers who have unused or regularly idle computational power, into a decentralized marketplace for buying and selling Ai execution, and we could power it all with instantly settled sats over lightning?

It just so happens that we can, and this ambitious project is being brought to life with GPUtopia. Chris David from the project joins us today to break down the vision and how they hope to play a part in the decentralized future of Ai.
