“Bitcoin (BTC, the currency) in its current form can scale – enough to process every txn in the world! It just needs the right combination of layer2s.” – Paul Sztorc What would it look like if we could use sidechains today to scale Bitcoin to the worldwide payments capacity? Paul Sztorc, proponent and developer for Drivechains & BIP300…

“Perhaps Bitcoin can help Americans reflect on our history and remember that our true glory, in Adams’s words, is “not dominion, but liberty,” and that our true march is “of the mind” and not the sword.” – Alex Galdstein
Happy Independence Day fellow Audionauts! This is the day to celebrate the American experiment and the ideals which it sought to achieve. An ideal of “all men created equal,” individual liberties, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and so many more revolutionary principles that have been the foundation for the outlaw of slavery, the civil rights movement, & human rights movements around the world.
So where do we separate “America the idea” from “America the political system?” What was missed in the founding documents that allowed the experiment to still fail so many? Does Bitcoin have a role to play by re-empowering these core principles of individual liberty?
Another brilliant piece from Alex Gladstein & Bitcoin Magazine, don’t miss today’s show!

We had an awesome discussion on Twitter spaces, getting some major Bitcoiners and Libertarians together to talk about the tools available to us in the endless fight for liberty, & why Bitcoin should be at the center of it all. Hope you guys enjoy this discussion as much as I did, and sorry for the minor audio hiccups and lack of censoring. As an open discussion there is some language so don’t have your kids around if you don’t want them to hear.
Thanks to @BranchFloridian for putting this together and hope to be able to do this again soon!

Read MoreWe’ve all heard the criticism, sound money can’t work because people will simply “hoard it.” Obviously, per the Keynesians’ demands, it is critical that we incentivize consumption and investment or the economy will fall into chaos and poverty.

The reality today for the 182 million people living in CFA nations is that while they may be politically independent in name, their economies and money are still under colonial rule, and foreign powers still abuse and prolong that relationship to squeeze…
