Chat_87 – Coinos & Merchant Onboarding with Adam & Cole
“Ultimately, my goal with Coinos is to make Bitcoin a super simple user interface for “normies” to be able to come on and not have to understand how things are working under the hood… Just get on the website, make your account and you’re good to go.”
– Adam
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.

Chat_86 – Everything on Bitcoin with Robin Linus & Super Testnet
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.

Ai Chat_007 – Global Markets for GPU Power with Christopher David
What if we could mitigate the enormous centralizing effects of the massive server farms and huge corporate entities, by pooling the GPU power of the millions of users and tinkerers who have unused or regularly idle computational power, into a decentralized marketplace for buying and selling Ai execution, and we could power it all with instantly settled sats over lightning?
It just so happens that we can, and this ambitious project is being brought to life with GPUtopia. Chris David from the project joins us today to break down the vision and how they hope to play a part in the decentralized future of Ai.

Ai Chat_005 – Ai, Fiat Incompatible with Kody Low
“So we had built this for a while, but because API calls are basically free, there really wasn’t a good match for it. There were some good matches for it and people would do it, but as they were doing it, it was like ‘I can do it this way, but I can also do it with dollars.’ This is kind of a really interesting paradigm when it comes to Ai stuff is that there’s basically 3 or 4 different aspects of Ai that make it so you cannot use credit card relationships to solve the monetization problems there. But you can with Bitcoin and Lightning as it exists today, not requiring any changes to the protocol…”
~ Kody Low
Today we dive into an incredible conversation with Kody Low from Fedi, who is hosting the Ai4All hackathon and believes he has found a solution to an increasingly huge, and seemingly impossible problem within Ai, that you can no longer distinguish human from robot online. What happens when Ai can create an infinite number of new identities? Is this the end of the open internet? find out in this awesome episode.

Chat_82 – The Spirit of Satoshi
We recently had Aleks Svetski back on at Ai Unchained to discuss the project we hinted at in episode 2 that he made public at BTCPrague. The Spirit of Satoshi. A bitcoin centered, custom built LLM intended to encompass the bias, and the perspective of Bitcoin, cypherpunk, Austrian economic point of view. And why this explicit bias is actually a massive feature of Ai that the establishment has misunderstood. Don’t miss it.

Chat_81 – An Austrian View of US Collapse with Peter St. Onge
“…At some point the entire financial system becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the Federal Reserve” — Peter St. Onge
Today we dive into the fiat and banking crisis with Austrian economist Peter St. Onge in exploring the insolvencies of our banking and political institutions, how we got here, and where things are likely heading. What courses of action are available for the US government and the Fed and what can we take away from the historical examples of countries taking this same path to apply to our own? @ProfStOnge brings valuable perspective and insight to making sense of the fall of the US monetary system.
Follow him on Twitter for tons of great writing and regular breakdowns of the financial and monetary policy decisions: https://twitter.com/profstonge

Chat_80 – Building the Ark with Burak
With the Introduction of Ark, the new 2nd layer payments and privacy protocol introduced with Read_734. I left with a lot of excitement, but I still had a ton of questions, so it felt like time for a chat with Burak, the creator of Ark. We dive into the bigger picture, how this is similar to lightning, how it is different, and then in an attempt to piece together the working parts we go through a bunch of edge cases and detail exactly how the ASP, past owners of Ark balances, and current owners of Ark balances all respond to secure the ownership of their coins. Don’t miss this one. This is Bitcoin Audible Chat #80 – Building the Ark with Burak.
