Guy’s Take_075 – A Global Monetary Rebellion

The election of Javier Milei is unlikely the be the next El Salvador, but I don't think it needs to be in order to be significant. There is something deeper going on for Javier to win on the message he is sending. And I think it shows the signs of a shifting tide, and Bitcoin…

Read_777 – The Inevitable Bust

"The recurring cycle of economic booms followed by inevitable busts has remained a puzzle for generations of observers. While mainstream Keynesian and monetarist theories propose monetary interventions to smooth these fluctuations, the Austrian School offers a compelling and alternative perspective" ~ Michael Matulef The bust will not be escaped. We cannot print our way out…

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…

– 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.

Guy’s Take_074 – Banks Without Bankers

Is Bitcoin destined to become another fiat system? Where we end up in a world where the dominant instrument isn't Bitcoin at all, but just more IOUs? Where Bitcoin substitutes replace real Bitcoin? Does it not just become another fiat system, or are there fundamental incentives and technological trends that prevent this and push us…

Read_776 – Banks Without Bankers

"Unique to the emergent Bitcoin financial system is the application of cryptography to fundamental financial functions. Novel technologies exist, are being built, and have been theorized that will enable previously unseen functionalities, robustness, and, ultimately, competition amongst Bitcoin financial intermediaries. Key to these novelties is the characteristic of peer-to-peer (“P2P”) exchange; that Bitcoin financial intermediaries…

Guy’s Take_073 – Lightning is Dead, Long Live Lightning!

LIGHTNING IS DEAD! Did you hear about the new exploit discovered that may be the "nail in the coffin" of the broken and defeated Lightning network? I bet you did, but did anyone you heard it from actually know how it worked?… Probably not. That's what we dive into today, trying to make sense of…

Read_775 – The Fed Threatens to Sue Bitcoin Magazine

"We have no interest in causing confusion, mistakes, or deception. That sounds more like a job for those responsible for telling the market they wouldn’t raise rates after a massive monetary expansion, and then went on to raise them faster than at any time in U.S. financial history." — Mark Goodwin Today we have a…

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…

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.
