Bitcoin & The American West [Croesus]

“These pioneers are akin to the Bitcoiners who showed up post-Mt. Gox, through to the Class of 2020. These are the individuals who saw the promise and opportunity of Bitcoin and seized it, despite the dangers that mainstream society warned us of. In the same way that the Oregon Trail was fraught with perils, so too is…

Proof of Stake & Stablecoins – Part 1: A Centralization Dilemma [Lyn Alden]

Libertarnism & the Bitcoin Strategy [Stephan Livera]

“Even if we could somehow convince the world or the U.S. government to adopt a gold standard, there’s not really anything stopping them from claiming “it’s an emergency” and that we need to drop the gold standard and “temporarily” close the gold window. In this way, Bitcoin provides stronger assurances about our money than gold…
