Read_372 – Money is Owned By Everyone [Mcfloogle]

“One of the biggest lies in recent times is that inflation is good and necessary for a healthy economy.” – Mcfloogle

It was once understood that money was owned by the individual. Merely an extension of the value created in the past, the soundness of money could not be disconnected from the very right to life and property itself. A short but excellent blog post on this nature, and the consequences when it is lost to our society.

CryptoQuikRead_369 – I Worked in Crypto for 2 Years… [Matt Vanalli]

“I didn’t believe it when I first heard people saying that most crypto projects will fail.
Boy was I wrong.” – @Vanalli

Take it from someone who has seen “Crypto” from the inside, searching for something of value, and coming up short. An excellent write up of an honest, unapologetic look at the sea of crypto crap, utility tokens, and pointless blockchain projects.  A clear demonstration of the “Everyone’s a Scammer” rule in the Bitcoin space, Vanalli tells us what it was like working in Crypto for 2 years, and why he had to finally take the exit.

Dropped some applause for Matt at the original link below!

CryptoQuikRead_368 – EARN IT Attacks Online Security & Privacy [EFF, Elliot Harmon]

“Make no mistake: the EARN IT Act is a vehicle to undermine end-to-end encryption.” – Elliot Harmon

A very important episode on a topic that people need to be aware of. There is a bill in Congress, one of the continuous attempts for the past 25 or so years, that will create enormous collateral damage to our freedom of speech, and privacy online. Not to mention putting the many abuses of surveillances capitalism on steroids. An excellent article from the EFF breaks it all down.

“The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.” – Thomas Jefferson

CryptoQuikRead_367 – Bitcoin, Fungibility, & Limits of Privacy [Sasha H. & Rafael Y.]

“Keeping the Bitcoin network private can be thought of as an act of unity by Bitcoiners in America to help keep the network useful for Bitcoiners in Venezuela and Hong Kong — indeed, around the world.” – Sasha Hodder & Rafael Yakobi
An article from Bitcoin Magazine diving into the difficult and often onerous regulations around money transmission and the consequences for both the entire industry, and the dangers it presents for individual privacy. An excellent op-ed from Sasha Hodder, and Rafael Yakobi.

“Every single co in the industry invested badly at the same time… every single competitor made the exact same mistake, in the same direction.” – Caitlin Long

If you missed the epic Twitter Thread from Caitlin Long on the state of the global financial markets, and how we managed to find ourselves in such a disastrous, then worry no longer.

CryptoQuikRead_365 – Ten Million Bitcoiners, The Intransigent Minority [Cory Klippsten]

“Not too many years from now, the number of Bitcoiners in the United States of America will cross ten million.  When we hit that milestone, it’s game over: Bitcoin wins…” – Cory Klippsten

Diving into our first read from the Swan Bitcoin blog by their CEO Cory Klippsten, we explore the simple, but powerful idea of the Intransigent Minority. Laid out in Nassim Taleb’s book “Skin in the Game” the intransigent minority is the target for the number of Bitcoiners that would be needed to reach the point of no return. What might that number be, and how do we get there? Listen to a short, fun read on building the intransigent minority.

This episode is actually sponsored by none other than Swan Bitcoin! (fyi, this was already in my reading list & they didn’t know )
