"The need for privacy and the long-term sustainability of Bitcoin without block rewards are perhaps two of the most most alarming issues surrounding Bitcoin today." - Lucas Nuzzi Could Schnorr signatures be the puzzle piece that eliminates a major limitation on the costs and ease of privacy at Bitcoin's base layer, while at the same time, incentivizing a robust fee market, and enabling a wide range of more dynamic smart contracts? The next soft fork in Bitcoin could be the most exciting and significant change that Bitcoin ever sees.

"That is the key innovation of Bitcoin: It detaches property rights from the legal system and the monopoly on violence. For the first time, we can have property that does not rely on a local authority to enforce and protect. It is easy to conceal, defend, divide, move, and verify — all by yourself, granting you the highest level of personal sovereignty." @Hasu & @suzhu Don't miss Part 3 of the "Skeptics Guide to Bitcoin" breaking down how Bitcoin enables property rights under an entirely new paradigm of social institution.

"To the casual observer, most of bitcoin’s life is boring — months go by with relatively little action. Then when conditions are just right, bitcoin explodes into life, growing massively in size, and hijacking the consciousness of observers." - Brandon Quittem Today we're diving back into the series by Brandon Quittem that peers from a bird's eye view at the nature of Bitcoin, and explores its patterns and growth through the framework of a mycelial network.

Disclaimer: If you are an ardent supporter of government projects, believe in the moral fiber of politicians, and in the power of voting to produce the greater good, then you will likely not enjoy this episode. You were warned ;) It feels like a good day for a long discussion comparing the trust model of government money, and the trust model of a decentralized, proof-of-work blockchain. Aka - Bitcoin vs. The Dollar. So lets take a dive into the various systems, their consequences, and the incentives that envelop both the rules and monetary policy that govern the Bitcoin system, and those that govern our political and banking institutions.
