Guy’s Take_103 – Bitcoin Dead For Sure This Time
Why is the “world’s most valuable money” stagnating while everything falls apart around it? With 401k hardship withdrawals at record highs and mortgage delinquencies surpassing 2008 levels, shouldn’t Bitcoin be rocketing higher? Instead we’re watching a slow-motion “silent IPO” unfold as institutional liquidity creates the most frustrating crab market in Bitcoin’s history.But what if this isn’t a bug – what if it’s exactly how mountains are built?Time for a Guy’s Take episode…

Guy’s Take_102 – An Unfair Game
“If you control the money, you control the purchasing power. Which, in turn, allows you to control most other things. […] In short: you can decide who will be deplatformed from society. In the most extreme cases, this is a matter of life and death. Who gets to eat and who must starve; who gets to prosper, and who must perish.”~ Dergigi
If money is the scorecard of society, what happens when the referees can give themselves unlimited points? Today we dive into why our “game” no longer rewards skill or cooperation, and has devolved, predictably, into one of political favor and cultural rot—and why fixing the money might be our only way out. It’s time for a Guy’s Take episode.

Guy’s Take_101 – FOLLOW UP
Sometimes a story isn’t what it seems… and that’s exactly what happened in Take_100.
In this follow-up, I revisit the mysterious movement of 80,000 Bitcoin and unravel the confusion sparked by a misleading legal message. I walk through the details I missed the first time, what changed my interpretation, and how easy it is to connect dots that don’t belong together.
This is a real-time lesson in don’t trust, verify — and why on-chain analysis can sometimes lead us astray if we’re not careful.

Guy’s Take_101 – The 80,000 Bitcoin Mystery
Almost $9 Billion in Bitcoin just moved for the first time in 14 years, and it seems like the person who moved them, are not the original owners. Did quantum just break something in Bitcoin? Is there a critical exploit that old balances need to worry about in the cryptography or software for wallets?
Is this a major hack hiding behind apparent legitimacy? Or did someone who knows bitcoin well happen upon $9 billion in an old bitcoin wallet? Public declarations of abandonment, a legal defense team, hidden messages, secret codes, significant dates, and 80,000 bitcoin caught in the mix.
Let’s take a dive, its time for a Guy’s Take episode.

Guy’s Take_100 – You Already Own Nothing, Are You Happy?
What if everything you think you own in the financial system—your stocks, your retirement, your savings—could be taken away in an instant, not because of your own mistakes, but because the institutions holding them are “too important” to fail? Today we finally unpack the horrifying reality behind asset ownership in today’s fiat-driven world, laid out in the shocking work from David Rogers Webb, The Great Taking. Are we living through the final act of centralization, where the only real escape is opting out entirely?
You already own nothing, are you happy? It’s time for a Guy’s Take episode.

Guy’s Take_099 – OP_RETURN The Signal and the Noise
In this episode, I break down one of the most contentious mempool debates in Bitcoin’s recent history — the proposed removal of OP_RETURN limits. I explore what the change actually means, why it’s causing such a stir, and what both sides are getting wrong. Is this a technical clean-up or a social signal with dangerous implications? Could it quietly invite back the crypto spam Bitcoin has fought to shed? I do my best to separate the signal from the noise, stealman the arguments, and offer my own perspective on why this fight matters more than it seems — and maybe, why it shouldn’t have started at all.

Reboot-Take_044 – Bitcoin is Not What you Think it is
Life has been hectic lately, but I didn’t want to leave you hanging! While I navigate the joys of parenthood, I’m bringing back a classic – Guy’s Take #44 – Bitcoin is Not What you Think it is.
What if your understanding of Bitcoin is only scratching the surface? In this episode, I dive into the deeper realities of money itself—how great societies are built on sound money, why money is more foundational than language, and how prices convey critical information rather than being arbitrary. We also explore the nature of time, the role of proof of work in ancient history, and why money is ultimately a tool for transmitting truth.
If you missed it the first time, now’s the perfect moment to give it a listen.

Guy’s Take_098 – Taking Stock of Our Wins
It’s easy to complain about what hasn’t happened yet or what problems are still to be solved. And it’s also hard to have humility, recognizing that maybe how and when we imagined a problem would be solved, may not be how reality plays out.
Without getting complacent, it is prudent to also have perspective and compare where we are to its alternatives, rather than an assumed perfect solution that doesn’t yet exist. So today we take a break from the technical dives, and the challenges ahead, and take stock of our massive wins, to see just how far we’ve come. It’s time for a Guy’s Take episode.

Guy’s Take_097 – Ross Ulbricht Breathes Free Air Again
Today, Ross Ulbricht breathes the free air again. What does the story of Ross Ulbricht reveal about justice, freedom, and the early ethos of Bitcoin? I thought I would take a little time to delve into the inconsistencies and controversies surrounding the trial, the principles of voluntary trade, and the deeper values of the Bitcoin revolution. Was justice truly served, or did systemic corruption shape the narrative? It’s time for a Guy’s Take episode.

Guy’s Take_096 – Hijacking Bitcoin
Roger Ver went on tucker carlson recently to discuss how the government infiltrated Bitcoin development, took over the protocol, and killed its potential to ever be electronic cash. He wrote a book titled Hijacking Bitcoin to lay out this story.But there’s actually another story of a small group who tried to hijack Bitcoin, who sought to force out the developers who wouldn’t go along with what they wanted, who used leverage over miners to keep them in line, who tried to hold bug fixes hostage to pressure the network to fork, who had a significant portion of huge bitcoin companies and the majority of the major mining pools ready to get in line to fundamentally change Bitcoin.This is a story of secret advantages, natural evolution of protocols, backdoors, and half truths. Its time to talk about the people who tried to hijack bitcoin and failed. It’s time for a Guys’ Take episode.Host Links

Guy’s Take_095 – When Should I Sell Bitcoin?
“Ossification is complacency. Yes, we all agree that Bitcoin is great. But _I do not agree_ that Bitcoin has reached its full potential. I think complacency is one of the greatest threats to Bitcoin – we must not rest upon our laurels.” — Lopp
Bitcoin crosses a hundred thousand dollars. Your Bitcoin investment has exploded. You’re looking at it and all you can see is how much it’s worth in dollars. And so you send your buddy guy a message and you say, “When should I sell my Bitcoin?” And from the average person’s perspective, I think what is the logical answer to that question is really difficult to understand. Because it requires a shift in the frame of what you think is worth measuring against. The answer could not be simpler. You don’t. You never sell a good money to get more of a bad money. But since that requires explicitly an explanation and a shift in framing, I think it’s

Ai Take_037 – Focus
“Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.”— Ron Swanson
Focus. Easily spoken, hard to live by. There are many lessons that Bitcoin teaches, and one that is more clearly true the older I get, is that every single thing in a trade off. And not just solutions, or tools, or networks, but the very thing that you spend your time thinking about, at the expense of all other things. What dreams you spend your time building, at the expense of all other dreams. What new ideas you begin, at the expense of what you’ve already started, and not yet finished.
Its time for an overdue change, and today I wanted to share my thoughts, how we got here, and what to expect in the future.
