Read_389 – Dear Family, Dear Friends [DerGigi]
“As a friend of mine likes to say: Bitcoin is pieces of super-gold flying inside an unstoppable PayPal. It is the best money we ever had.” – Gigi
Another great piece by Gigi (@Dergigi on twitter) that takes a step back and just tells the message of Bitcoin without all the usual over-complication. Ignore the monetary history, don’t explain the underlying technology, lets not cover the crucial cryptographic imperatives or the game theory, and lets address the common sense reasons that Bitcoin exists, and how we should be think of it as we move into the future.
A brilliant piece as usual from Gigi, check out the original below, “Dear Family, Dear Friends” and drop some applause on Medium

Read_388 – Bitcoin is a Catalyst for Human Evolution [Brandon Quittem]
“Mycelial networks act as a resource transport layer and communications network connecting organisms in the biosphere. This enables organisms to voluntarily trade resources and knowledge across species lines. Increasing trade leads to increased specialization (division of labor), further increasing biodiversity (wealth and resilience) in the ecosystem.”
– Brandon Quittem
After the long wait, we are finally covering Part 4, the conclusion, of Quittem’s incredible “Mycelial Money” series, exploring Bitcoin as a catalyst for the evolution of our species.

Read_387 – Anatomy of the State – Part 2 [Murray N. Rothbard]
“What the State fears above all, of course, is any
fundamental threat to its own power and its own existence”
– Murray N. Rothbard
The epic conclusion to Murray Rothbard’s Anatomy of the State. What is the ultimate end of state power? Can we test to see if the State is in fact interested in its own survival, or if its interested in the protection of its citizens? And how does Bitcoin alter this ancient dynamic? This and more in todays read.

-Murray N. Rothbard
Another piece made available thanks to the amazing team over at the Mises Institute, we dive into the first half of the essential work by Murray N. Rothbard, Anatomy of the State.

Read_385 – Bitcoin & the Technological Evolution of the Financial System [BitcoinTINA]
“I think of Bitcoin as a conservative investment because it’s so superior to gold. The value of it should wind up at least equal to gold’s…” – BitcoinTINA
Reading a piece by BitcoinTINA summarized from the BitcoinMagazine series on how Bitcoin is a fundamental shift in the nature of money, and how quickly everything could change despite how difficult to imagine it may be. Posted with other great work on the Swan Signal blog, we read “Bitcoin and the Technological Evolution of the Finanical System.”

Read_384 – A Declaration of Monetary Independence [Brady Swenson]
“We Hodl these truths to be self evident” – Brady
A Declaration of Independence for the age of the separation of money and state. When a monetary system becomes a burden, a means not to help the public good, but to sicken and destroy it, it is the right, and the duty of the people to throw off such system. This is why we are here, and this is why we run our nodes, defending the network from those that would alter the money for their benefit, and our expense.

Chat_36 – How the Dollar Destroys Society with Bottomshelf Bitcoin
If finding out how the banking system is systematically ripping you off doesn’t make your angry, then you’re already dead.
Had an awesome discussion with Josh of Bottomshelf Bitcoin fame! Going through the incredible theft and engineered fragility of our monetary system. How it induces the boom and bust cycle, builds unsustainable imbalances, fuels irresponsible behavior, rewards those who waste resources, lies to us about our wealth, and manages to have us owing all of our life’s work to a banking elite that never earned any of it.
Josh and I have an awesome chat, and you don’t want to miss it!
If you haven’t heard it yet, Ep. 53 with Carlos from Satoshi’s Games is excellent:

Read_383 – The King of Blockchains, How Bitcoin Can Become the Foundation of Web 3.0 [Muneeb Ali]
“As the crypto industry makes progress toward Web 3.0, we’ll come to realize that it’s hard to beat the security and network effects of Bitcoin.” – Muneeb Ali
Another great article from Bitcoin Magazine, this one by the founder of Blockstack, Muneeb Ali, on the superior security and foundation that Bitcoin can provide to Web 3.0. How its perceived “limitations,” may be what makes it the best foundation we could have.
It also sparks a long Guy’s Rant on the value of on-chain vs off-chain contracts, the doubts on the “tokenization of everything,” & why smart contracts are only as good as the token they contract in (not the other way round).
This isn’t to be missed. Check out the other great stuff at Bitcoin Magazine that I won’t be able to cover, plus the original articlewith links to dig further in at the link below:

Read_381 – An Important Reminder… [Marty Bent]
“You can’t dictate how people should use bitcoin. Bitcoin has certain properties that enable different use cases. The predominant use case will fluctuate over time. Get over it.” – Marty Bent
An Important reminder from Uncle Marty: Bitcoin has value because of what it enables. It is the market that will find its highest value purpose, and it will be used in all the ways it will best serve the economy. Neither you nor I, fortunately, get to decide how Bitcoin will be used or valued.
