"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…

“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.

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.

Read MoreIs Bitcoin destined to become another fiat system? Where we end up in a world where the dominant instrument isn't Bitcoin at all, but just more IOUs? Where Bitcoin substitutes replace real Bitcoin? Does it not just become another fiat system, or are there fundamental incentives and technological trends that prevent this and push us…
Read More"Unique to the emergent Bitcoin financial system is the application of cryptography to fundamental financial functions. Novel technologies exist, are being built, and have been theorized that will enable previously unseen functionalities, robustness, and, ultimately, competition amongst Bitcoin financial intermediaries. Key to these novelties is the characteristic of peer-to-peer (“P2P”) exchange; that Bitcoin financial intermediaries…

I bet you did, but did anyone you heard it from actually know how it worked?… Probably not. That's what we dive into today, trying to make sense of…
Read More"We have no interest in causing confusion, mistakes, or deception. That sounds more like a job for those responsible for telling the market they wouldn’t raise rates after a massive monetary expansion, and then went on to raise them faster than at any time in U.S. financial history." — Mark Goodwin Today we have a…

It’s often said that Bitcoin is too limited, that you can’t build anything interesting on top of the Bitcoin chain… what if that was not only true, but that there were no limits? What if literally anything you could write into code, any program, app, game, theoretically even an entire operating system could be constructed such that its valid execution determined the ownership of Bitcoin? What if there were no limits, and you could build everything on Bitcoin? Today we dive into BitVM with Robin Linus and Super Testnet. A virtual machine built entirely in Bitcoin script, with no soft fork needed. This could change everything.
