Chat_41 – Does Stability Exist? With David & CK from POV Crypto
Joined the guys over at POV Crpyto to talk about the nature of stability and prices. Does price stability even exist, is it something to strive for, or is it the antithesis to a stable economy? Had an awesome convo with CK & David, I think you guys will enjoy it.

Chat_40 – ReInventing Bitcoin with Yan Pritzker
“As it turns out, we had money, we just weren’t allowed to take it out of the country. When we left the Soviet Union we were allowed to exchange our rubles for dollars at the official rate (not the real rate)… so they gave us $100 worth and sent us on our way.” – Yan Pritzker
Bitcoin isn’t simply an application that can be used for finance. Less a technological breakthrough & more a monetary revolution. Today we chat with the exceptional author of “Inventing Bitcoin,” CTO and co-founder of Swan Bitcoin & GiveBitcoin, and a Bitcoiner who has risked it all to be a part of the most important monetary revolution in a century. This chat is not to be missed!
Shout out in the episode to Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin, and Phil Geiger of Unchained Capital!
If you haven’t read or listened to Inventing Bitcoin, it is a brilliant overview of the logical architecture that sustains the Bitcoin system. Find it at the link below on Amazon and/or Audible.com

Read_399 – Bitcoin as a Startup [Hass McCook]
“VCs are a group of people demonized in the Bitcoin industry for not understanding Bitcoin’s value proposition. Well, how do you expect a VC to value Bitcoin if they’re only used to valuing startups?” – Hass McCook
A really fun article, followed by a walk down Bitcoin memory lane with Guy, giving a fresh analogy (you know how I love those) of Bitcoin as a startup moving through funding rounds. Where are we in the maturing cycle, and what will the focus of this and future eras be? Looking at Bitcoin’s history and future through the lens of a startup!

Read_398 – The Political Theology of Bitcoin [Erik Cason]
“authority, not truth makes legitimacy… it is truth, not authority that makes legitimacy with Bitcoin.” – Erik Cason
Today we dive into a fascinating piece at cryptosovereignty.org by Erik Cason diving into the very concept of sovereignty, and how Bitcoin, in comparison to the legacy system, is not merely revolutionary, but messianic. Truth, not authority, is the only source of legitimacy.

Read_397 – How Lightning Will Grow Following BTC’s 3rd Halving [Peter Chawaga]
“It’s going to be really interesting to replicate some of the token-based authentication schemes that we already have with centralized providers but do it with self-sovereign identity, which is pseudonymous and which is persistent across the network.” – Chris Dannen
An article by Peter Chawaga at BitcoinMagazine.com that touches on the many topics discussed during the Bitcoin Halving Livestream with many of the Lightning pioneers. With LSATs, keysend, LN messaging apps, and the new infrastructure layer for monetary applications. The future is bright, and today’s episode is a great little morsel about what it to come.

Read_396 – Crypto is Modern Alchemy [Meltem Demirors]
“Early alchemy was concerned with purifying and perfecting certain materials, such as transmuting base metals like lead into noble metals like gold, creating an elixir of immortality, or creating panaceas to cure any disease.” – Meltem Demirors
How should we observe the “crypto” industry as a whole, and what, if anything, can we learn from the enormous ocean of altcoins that could find a useful application in the future of cryptography and networking systems? Meltem gives a very interesting analogy on how to look at the results of the “crypto” industry and a useful perspective in considering what we to bring with us, and what to leave behind.
Check the original plus a ton of other great writing from Meltem at her blog “Meltem’s Musings”:

Read_395 – The Bitcoin v Govt War is Vaporware [Jesse Lawler]
“The world’s national currencies will offer Bitcoin only a sputtering resistance — more in word than deed — and they’ll dwindle into irrelevance as their defenders fail to defend, their battlements go unmanned, and the central banks’ centers will not hold.” – Jesse Lawler
Are we doomed for a massive battle between the monetary giants. The Federal Reserve and global powers pitted against the decentralized Bitcoin system? Or will Goliath simply fizzle out as the central banks fail to organize, find their personal interest at odds with institutional interest, and Bitcoin proves to be too distributed to even fight?
Sci-Fi dystopia and a cypherpunk war, or no? A great, fun piece by Jesse Lawler, host of the Smart Drugs Smart podcast and fellow Crew member of the show, writes a really interesting piece on the potential conflicts, or lack thereof, in Bitcoin’s future.
