Read_269 – Bitcoin is a Human Right [Nik Bhatia]
Finishing this week out with a short but wonderful introductory article by Nik Bhatia. Bitcoin is a money, a game, a land grab, works like email, and ultimately, Bitcoin is a human right. My discussion afterward may have gotten a little out of hand with a 40 minute follow-up to a 5 minute article. But when a good article sparks great ideas, sometimes its just hard to stop. 😉
Today we read and discuss Nik’s excellent piece, “Bitcoin is a Human Right”

Read_267 – Everyone’s a Scammer [Michael Goldstein]
Merchants are scammers, Keynesians are scammers, altcoins are scammers, Bitcoin “investments” are scammers, scammers are scammers, and even Bitcoin hoarders are scammers. Everyone’s a scammer.
There is a key list of works that are simply the “must reads” of the Bitcoin space if you want to understand the true nature of the new economic incentives and the technology behind it. “Everyone’s a Scammer” by Michael Goldstein, is one of those works. Another piece that stood the test of time made available by the Nakamoto Institute, not to be missed by any serious Bitcoiner out there.

Read_264 – A Man Warned is Half Saved [beautyon_]
Another excellent piece by @beautyon_ and discussion on the nature of Bitcoin’s uncontestable monetary standard and what it means for our future. Its not volatility or the risks of a scarce monetary supply, “The danger is being left out of Bitcoin.” You have been warned.
Plus I do a short follow-up and general thanks to the BTCMedia and BitcoinMagazine crew for such an awesome Bitcoin2019 conference! Had more fun than should be allowed, lol!
