“Educating the world about bitcoin has succeeded in building a community of knowledgeable, dedicated, enthusiastic people from the fields of tech, economics, politics, and finance, but orange pilling has taken us as far as it can. Like many strategies, the marginal gains of educating the world were remarkable in the early stages, but they’ve flattened… Orange pilling has stopped working.” – Roy Sheinfeld
Has Bitcoin’s “orange-pilling” strategy reached its limits? Explore why traditional methods of educating the masses about Bitcoin are losing steam and discover the new approaches needed to drive adoption in a changing landscape. Join us as we delve into the future of Bitcoin adoption and the role of technology in creating real-world utility.

A trend I’ve noticed with Ai, is that it has shifted itself into the middleman position between everyone and the normal surfing of the web. While it may save the user time, could this be disrupting the very traffic that monetizes content on the internet? With this fundamental change in the monetization paradigm, a huge shift is coming to the web. What will it look like, and how should we prepare? Tune in to find out.

“Disruptors don’t have to discover something new. They just have to discover a practical use for new discoveries.”- Jay Samit

“In NRA, the Court addressed a critical issue impacting not only traditional advocacy groups but any disfavored, but legal, industry. This ruling draws parallels to Operation Choke Point 2.0, where U.S. regulators have allegedly been targeting crypto businesses through financial exclusion. Moreover, the recent _Cantero_ decision sheds light on how this legal framework might impact Custodia Bank’s appeal against the denial of their master account by the Federal Reserve.” – Colin Crossman
Multiple verdicts recently came down from the Supreme Court, and they may very well end up being ammunition to fight back against the gross regulatory overreach and extralegal attacks on the Bitcoin and crypto ecosystem. How might they change the fight against Operation Choke Point 2.0, squeezing the crypto market out of financial access, and how could it impact Custodia Bank’s rejection and ongoing battle to get an account at the Federal Reserve? Find out what it means, and what we may be able to do about it, in a great article from Colin Crossman.

What if the future of decentralization lies not just in Bitcoin, but in the convergence of a multitude of different technologies that bring power back to the individual? How can Bitcoin, AI and 3D printing together disrupt the centralized powers of today and redefine our world in the next 30 years? Dive into this episode with an article from Emile Phaneuf on the convergence of Bitcoin, AI, and localized manufacturing, and what it means for our technological and economic future.Check out the original article at Decentralization and Localized Manufacturing: Bitcoin, AI and 3D Printing (Link: https://tinyurl.com/mr2wrbz6)

“Mass production keeps the world divided between consumer and producer. Demassification of production may hasten the speed towards an era of prosumers.” – Michael Petch

“Fedimint is a scalable self-custodial off-chain programmability layer on top of Bitcoin. It allows for use cases that are difficult, time-consuming, and unscalable for general users to do on-chain today. You might think I had a typo calling Fedimint a self-custodial network. Let me explain…” ~ Tony Giorgio
Have we increasingly lost sight of the nuance in the market for trust that lets us dismiss an ocean of novel and highly valuable solutions to our problems? What if the goals we are aimed at with Bitcoin aren’t really final conclusions, but a spectrum laid out on a never ending path? Fedimint presents a profound shift in the trust and privacy elements of being a bitcoin user, and breaks down enormous barriers to the problem of providing a service to others. Tony, one of the incredible minds behind Mutiny, brings us an article today to reframe both the problem and the solution to the many challenges of building a Bitcoin world.
