Read_408 – Assange’s Extradition & Bitcoin’s Battle for Freedom [Nozomi Hayase]
“Years before the U.S. government’s assault on free speech escalated into the indictment against the WikiLeaks founder, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin recognized the potential fate that would befall the world’s first global Fourth Estate. “ – Nozomi Hayase
Another excellent write up from Nozomi Hayase & Bitcoin Magazine, on the plight of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange & the injustice of his extradition. It is an astonishing thing to see how many world changing systems, technologies, and institutions found their beginnings in a tiny group of mathematicians & activists who found a commonality on the internet around the principle of free speech, sharing ideas on a virtually unknown mailing list of self-proclaimed “cypherpunks.” Who knew how much it would shape our world?

Read_405 – Bitcoin May Not Survive a Bitcoin Standard [Hasu]
“While Bitcoin can control the number of users inside the network, it has no control over the number of users accessing the network through custodial banks. The growth of this banking layer is outside of the protocol’s control and could grow into a systemic risk for Bitcoin.” – Hasu
A very interesting thought experiment from returning author Hasu, on the potential risks of a Bitcoin future without a trustless means of transacting. If most Bitcoin traded is a custodial IOU, could Bitcoin fall victim to the same fate as Gold? Find out more in today’s read!

Read_401 – Financial Cryptography in 7 Layers [Ian Grigg]
“Financial Cryptography is substantially complex, requiring skills drawn from diverse and incompatible, or at least, unfriendly, disciplines. Caught between Central Banking and Cryptography, or between accountants and programmers, there is a grave danger that efforts to construct Financial Cryptography systems will simplify or omit critical disciplines.” – Ian Grigg
Another blast from the past of 1998, written by Ian Grigg, made available at the NakamotoInstitute.org. An awesome attempt at looking forward to the possible layers and roles within a financial cryptography system, providing a fascinating comparison to Bitcoin and the reality of that system today.
Don’t miss tomorrow’s episode where we dig into the comparisons and expand on the many incredible foresights that Ian designed in his own model of our cryptographic future.

Chat_40 – ReInventing Bitcoin with Yan Pritzker
“As it turns out, we had money, we just weren’t allowed to take it out of the country. When we left the Soviet Union we were allowed to exchange our rubles for dollars at the official rate (not the real rate)… so they gave us $100 worth and sent us on our way.” – Yan Pritzker
Bitcoin isn’t simply an application that can be used for finance. Less a technological breakthrough & more a monetary revolution. Today we chat with the exceptional author of “Inventing Bitcoin,” CTO and co-founder of Swan Bitcoin & GiveBitcoin, and a Bitcoiner who has risked it all to be a part of the most important monetary revolution in a century. This chat is not to be missed!
