Guy’s Take on the “Why Bitcoin Series, Part 1”
Completely left the intro and guy’s take section out of the publishing for last week’s episode, so figured I would drop it just for those who might like to listen. No ads or any breaks for this one since I screwed up, lol.

This is the beginning of some massive.

Guy’s Take #41 – Gamestop is the Battle, Bitcoin is the War
Curious to know what the recent clown show of GameStop and r/WallStreetBets was all about? Well we get into it in today’s rant about the phenomenal arrogance and outright manipulation of the major players in Wall Street after retail investors made them cry. There is nothing that could more perfectly demonstrate the reality that average Joe’s only have freedom when they are losing, but when they make a win at the expense of billionaire hedge funds, you can bet your ass the stocks will be delisted, accounts will be frozen, positions will be closed for no reason, the SEC will investigate “manipulation” from the retail investors, & the big dogs will do everything they can to prevent from paying the bill.

Guy’s Take #40 – Double Spends & Wittgenstein’s Money
What the hell is everyone squealing about regarding this “critical flaw” and “confirmed double spend” on the Bitcoin network? Is this another 2013 bug, or a giant nothing burger? Guy dives into it on today’s episode and then gets into the follow-up to Wittgenstein’s Money, the amazing piece by Allen Farrington that we covered in the previous episode on the show. What is value, what is money, & what would it seem like if it did seem like a money was emerging from zero?

Guy’s Take #39 – Bitcoin is the Pin
We are in the midst of one of history’s greatest financial bubbles, represented both in a global debt crisis, as well as a bloated, subsidized financial sector that is many times greater in size than it naturally should be. Rather than Bitcoin being the bubble that everyone claims it is, on the contrary, the financial system is a “greater fool” bubble, and Bitcoin is the pin.

Guy’s Take #38 – An Unstoppable Force
“It’s not that a government has the ability to ban Bitcoin from their country, I think it’s closer to the opposite: A country only has the ability to ban itself from Bitcoin.” – Guy Swann

Guy’s Take #37 – Dear James Woods, Sincerely Guy Swann
“All you can do with Bitcoin once you buy it is sell it, but you need somebody else to buy it from you.” – Peter Schiff
James Woods shared a tweet with what is, in the end, a generally rational skepticism and common initial impression of Bitcoin. From an article at Fox Business, that based its argument on a few quotes from the king and queen of Bitcoin trolls, Peter Schiff and Nouriel Roubini. “You can’t do anything with it but sell it,” they claim, “its a huge scam and pump and dump” they added. As a Bitcoiner I would obviously argue this is completely false, but its not easy at first to see why, and it takes a huge amount of history, and close scrutiny to see the bigger picture.

Guy’s Take #35 – The Next Domino…

The Canary in the Coal Mine
There’s been a bit of Bad News. The canary doesn’t seem to be moving, and its time that we take our situation seriously. As Bitcoin becomes both more mature and finds its way back into a bull market, we can also expect a sharp increase in regulatory and governmental attention. The powers that be, the surveillance state, and the control that the financial institutions have acquired will not be lost without a fight.
