Read_617 – Announcing Taro, Multi-Asset Bitcoin & Lightning [Ryan Gentry]

“Taro enables bitcoin to serve as a protocol of value by allowing app developers to integrate assets alongside BTC in apps both on-chain and over Lightning. This expands the reach of Lightning Network as a whole, bringing more users to the network who will drive more volume and liquidity in bitcoin, and allowing people to easily transfer fiat for bitcoin in their apps. More network volume means more routing fees for node operators, who will see the benefits of a multi-asset Lightning Network without needing to support any additional assets.” – Ryan Gentry
A huge kudos to Lightning Labs and what they are building over there. This is an incredible development that will shake the system as this tech gets implemented. Follow Lightning labs and Ryan Gentry, the author of today’s piece, on Twitter to stay up on what they are building.

Read_615 – The State vs Bitcoin [Steve Barbour]

“As with freedom and oppression, Bitcoin and State money may exist in a perpetual tug of war between ideals. Where State money relies on compulsory participation, Bitcoin offers completely voluntary entry and exit and thus represents the antithesis of State money. In this essay I will explore the mechanisms in which Bitcoin may resist State…

Read_614 – …and Then They Fight You [SovrynMindset]

“Much more to say. This is just a starting point, but I’m interested in Bitcoin for its potential to reorient civilization to an existence rooted in truth. If adoption comes at the cost of that, all the NGU euphoria means nothing and most of what gives Bitcoin value will be lost.” – SovrynMindset Michael brings…

Read_613 – Against the Inevitability of Bitcoin [Ariel Deschapell]

As a community, we fail when, in chasing the mainstream, we lose sight of the original spirit in which Bitcoin was created and bootstrapped.” – Ariel Deschapell To kick off adversarial…
