"When you have a child, you care more than anyone else about that child. You're caring about their long-term success and happiness and their health. If you look at just a first principles basis, what is the school interested in? What is the state interested in? It's more about compliance and conformity. It's not about creativity. It's not about critical thinking. It is conformity and compliance." ~ Tali & Scott Can a board game teach Bitcoin better than a lecture?

"China’s current ways to censor the Internet are to block connections from IP servers serving content and block protocol-level attempts, such as Tor, at specific points. China is also incredibly aggressive in requesting Apple to do app store takedowns, which Apple regularly complies with. In 2022, for example, China was responsible for more than 97% of apps taken down by Apple for different countries. [...] Finally, within the country, law enforcement has access to physical surveillance and registered IDs of everybody in China who has purchased a phone, for example. Still, with all of this, and multiple regulatory notices and attempts to ban Bitcoin, China was not able to dent Bitcoin itself – which is humming along at a much better price level and activity level than the level of bans implemented by China."~ China Bitcoin Book How did Bitcoin not just survive but thrive despite China's relentless bans and regulatory crackdowns?

"The most powerful thing that Bitcoin did was establish a monetary foundation, a monetary policy that was not alterable through a shallow, short term social consensus. That the protocol determines the rules, and then everyone is only able to fight within those rules, and any changes that are made can only occur within those rules, and anybody who tries to break those rules are necessarily forking off. And if they do not get overwhelming support to do that, the change simply doesn't succeed." ~ Guy Swann Today, I'm excited to bring you a special episode featuring a marathon conversation I had on the Anarchast podcast, hosted by Patrick Smith. As a "big blocker" and supporter of Bitcoin Cash, Patrick and I delve into the heart of the Bitcoin Civil War, exploring the contentious debates between small and big block proponents.In this in-depth discussion, we cover the contrasting perspectives of small and big block advocates, discussing "revelations" from Roger Ver's new book. We also discuss the critical implications of block size on Bitcoin's future, decentralization, and security.This debate is one of my favorites, offering a comprehensive view of the trade-offs and arguments that shaped Bitcoin's history.

"In NRA, the Court addressed a critical issue impacting not only traditional advocacy groups but any disfavored, but legal, industry. This ruling draws parallels to Operation Choke Point 2.0, where U.S. regulators have allegedly been targeting crypto businesses through financial exclusion. Moreover, the recent _Cantero_ decision sheds light on how this legal framework might impact Custodia Bank's appeal against the denial of their master account by the Federal Reserve." - Colin Crossman Multiple verdicts recently came down from the Supreme Court, and they may very well end up being ammunition to fight back against the gross regulatory overreach and extralegal attacks on the Bitcoin and crypto ecosystem. How might they change the fight against Operation Choke Point 2.0, squeezing the crypto market out of financial access, and how could it impact Custodia Bank's rejection and ongoing battle to get an account at the Federal Reserve? Find out what it means, and what we may be able to do about it, in a great article from Colin Crossman.

A trend I've noticed with Ai, is that it has shifted itself into the middleman position between everyone and the normal surfing of the web. While it may save the user time, could this be disrupting the very traffic that monetizes content on the internet?

What if the future of decentralization lies not just in Bitcoin, but in the convergence of a multitude of different technologies that bring power back to the individual? How can Bitcoin, AI and 3D printing together disrupt the centralized powers of today and redefine our world in the next 30 years?

"Fedimint is a scalable self-custodial off-chain programmability layer on top of Bitcoin. It allows for use cases that are difficult, time-consuming, and unscalable for general users to do on-chain today. You might think I had a typo calling Fedimint a self-custodial network. Let me explain..." ~ Tony Giorgio Have we increasingly lost sight of the nuance in the market for trust that lets us dismiss an ocean of novel and highly valuable solutions to our problems? What if the goals we are aimed at with Bitcoin aren't really final conclusions, but a spectrum laid out on a never ending path? Fedimint presents a profound shift in the trust and privacy elements of being a bitcoin user, and breaks down enormous barriers to the problem of providing a service to others.

A very unique dynamic occurs with generative AI. LLM companies are scraping the internet for millions of works belonging to other people, photos, videos and film, forum posts, tutorials, all of this human created content meant to provide value to others in hopes of monetizing the attention, or gaining reputation from that research or creation.But without attribution or sharing of the proceeds, we can recreate, mimic, or even pull that exact content back out of the generative models. What does that mean for AI models? What does this mean for copyright? And is the only solution in the violent hand of the state, or is there a technological or cultural solution to this technological problem? It can be argued that Open AI has become the ultimate middleman, that never even sends its users to the content that makes its product valuable to begin with? In that sense, is OpenAi a breakthrough...or just a different kind of scam? Don't miss today's show.

People look around and they see a wasteful world. They see endless, mindless consumption. Increasingly, we see people fearing the future rather than hoping for it. I'm going to make the case today that in order to realign this, money must be the most valuable good in society. And necessarily, it must be the hardest thing to produce and that we actually can know this because of where the value of money comes from and what the money is in relation to the society that uses it. I want you to come away from the end of this episode realizing that not only is it aligned to have a sound money that grows in value, but it is necessary for us to value the future of our society in the first place. So we're going to take this show to go back to our Fiat World Series with Fiat Waste. It's time for a Guy's Take episode.

Ideas and ways of thinking are much like paths in the wood. When we explore them often they are well worn and clearly defined. But often we get lost exploring other ideas or focused on something we hope to see in the future, and even the paths we know well get ignored, and the brush starts to creep back in. The noise of the world begins to obscure what was once an obvious truth. This is why its good to refresh important ideas from time to time. To walk those paths again, to remind ourselves of the perspectives that got us here. Today we dive into a reboot of a very important idea in grasping why Bitcoin works, and how it emerges from the individual enforcement of the Bitcoin rules, and how utterly revolutionary this seemingly simple concept really is. If you haven't heard it, today's episode will fix that terrible tragedy for you. So hit play and enjoy. Check out the original article at Bitcoin Miners Beware: Invalid Blocks Need Not Apply.

"I believe that hole punch stack can be a really good alternative to static IPs. That way, for example, you want to access your camera from anywhere, you don't really need a static IP. You don't need to pay for that. You don't need to take all those security risks. All you need to do is boot up Holesail or a similar service built on Holepunch to connect peer to peer directly to your computer only to that specific port. That's it. You are connected to it. There are no middle men. And nothing is exposed to the public." In this episode, Guy Swann interviews Suryaansh Singh AKA Supersu about the transformative potential of peer-to-peer technology in reshaping how we connect and interact online, and how they are working to build towards this with Holesail. They delve into the challenges and innovations in deploying decentralized systems that enhance security and user control, discussing how such technologies can fundamentally alter the internet landscape towards a more user-empowered framework.

"This capability ensures that participants can trust the system's integrity without the need for mutual trust among users.

How does Bitcoin redefine trust in a globalized digital world, and what potential does it hold for transforming financial systems, especially in developing countries?

"It is like exercising a veto you hold for anything and everything, and yes, vetoes are important in consensus systems. But disrupting conversation is not the veto, the actions of actual transacting economic actors deciding what software to run or not run is the veto. This denial of service on dialogue is not some noble or righteous crusade to save Bitcoin, it is an active attack on those economic actors and their ability to gain a better understanding to make an informed decision on whether to veto something or not."~ Shinobi Today we dive into the contentious arena of Bitcoin consensus and the dialogue around it. Reading an insightful piece by Shinobi from Bitcoin Magazine, we explore the alarming trend of "denial of service attacks" on meaningful discussion within the Bitcoin community. Is this a calculated attack to silence new ideas, a necessary friction to maintain the integrity of Bitcoin's foundational principles, or is it an unavoidable consequence of Bitcoin's success? Listen as Guy offers his insights and invites you to judge the merit of open dialogue in the face of technological conservatism.

"The U.S. Government spends in a budgetary deficit, then issues treasuries to pay for the spending, then, at a bigger rate than anybody else, buys the treasuries to cover the loss. An unbelievable Ponzi scheme. The U.S. Government is the director of the Ponzi scheme, the old investor, and the new investor. A true masterclass."~ Cole Walmsley Today we tackle the intricacies of fiscal irresponsibility through a Twitter thread by Cole Walmsley. As the U.S. government’s deficit spending spirals into what can only be accurately described as a “masterclass Ponzi scheme,” listeners are beckoned to question: How long can this last? With the state of national debt, the illusion of monetary stability, and the inevitable downfall of fiat currencies, are we witnessing the death throes of the dollar, and can a new monetary system rise from the chaos?

"We're basically at a fork in the road. I think that there's a good chance we go the wrong way and you end up with a situation like China. We need to build these tools that serve Liberty and not tyranny. And we need to design these systems correctly. And then on top of that, I think, as I pointed out earlier, you know, we have an opportunity to build a better product than the tyrannical systems, you know, now before, before you're in too deep. So we need to do that so that people aren't, aren't lured by that." Are we steering towards a future where technology amplifies human potential, or are we drifting into a realm where control overshadows creativity? We are joined by the creator of CASCDR today to delve into a discussion that explores the role of Ai in our future and how we can utilize it to decentralize markets, service provision, and change the structure of productivity in a way that can bring it far closer to us and our needs. What does that future look like, and how do we build to get there?

"We have the fork wars, we have a culture that understands the importance of nodes and widespread enforcement of a protocol and its rules. Unlike shitcoins, which couldn't care less about it... So this node orientation in Bitcoin is is critical to it not being a shitcoin. So spam has come in and they start trashing the blockchain and exploding the UTXO set and making every block almost four megabytes, which was supposed to be a theoretical maximum we were never actually supposed to see because no one thought we would just fill it up with witness data... This is a ridiculous guys. It's an attack. They've stated it as an attack when they came out and just went "I want to bloat the UTXO set because it's the worst thing you can do in Bitcoin"." ~ Bitcoin Mechanic In this episode, I talk with Bitcoin Mechanic about the current state of Bitcoin, focusing on the regulatory environment, the vital role of self-custody, and the challenges facing privacy and autonomy in the digital age. We delve into the complexities of maintaining operational security in the face of increasing regulatory oversight, and consider in what ways we can balance the needs of miners with those of everyday users and node runners to maintain a healthy network ecosystem.

"This is a fancy way of saying that you need money to make markets, and you need decentralized, open, digital money to make decentralized, open, digital markets. Furthermore, higher layers require lower layers to exist, but lower layers benefit from the value created at higher layers. However valuable layer one Bitcoin can be as a new global money, it can become significantly more valuable if we recognize it as a crucial technical building block to building markets with the potential to disrupt many other human networks." ~ Dhruv Bansal, Ryan Gentry & Allen Farrington How can we think differently about what is actually occurring at the base layer of Bitcoin and what it enables, to extend it to the more tangible and understood problems of internet centralization, abusive platforms, censorship, and so many other prevalent problems in our networks today? If we can break each of these problems down into their smallest, and simplest parts, and one-by-one solve each of those problems, can we begin to actually solve the broader concerns of permission-less communication, scalable decentralized payments, service provision, and global openly accessible networks of all kinds? Can we re-decentralize the internet, with Bitcoin?

"I think Americans are used to seeing people arrested for bullshit technicalities and thrown in jail for long periods of time. But in the rest of the world, it is quite uncommon. For a non-US Bitcoin entrepreneur, the US is a scary and dangerous place. American authorities seem resourceful, competent, and motivated to destroy your life just to prove a point. This line of thinking is not paranoia, nor is it cowardice." ~ Francis Pouliot We dive into a piece from Francis Pouliot, the CEO of Bull Bitcoin, today that dives into the toxic waters of U.S. regulations that seem to strangle innovation at every turn. As the US govt tightens their grip and "non-compliance" of an absurdly defined regulatory leviathan threatens decades in prison, how can the Bitcoin community protect what makes Bitcoin important?

"The Samurai wallet developers have been arrested. The government has responded with their opposition to the motion of dismissal in the tornado cash case. Phoenix wallet has withdrawn from the United States. Does one need to have control over the funds to be a money transmitter? Is the lightning network, is Bitcoin, is even self-custody and your home node illegal? The past week or so in Bitcoin has seen a flood of new developments, unfortunate events and clarifications and demands from government regulatory agencies. And it has quite clearly spooked a lot of people in the Bitcoin industry. What does it all mean and how should we respond? It's time for a guys take episode." I took on a whirlwind of pressing issues facing the Bitcoin ecosystem amid a slew of government actions that appear to target privacy and financial sovereignty. What does the arrest of the Samurai wallet developers, the exodus of Phoenix wallet from the U.S., and the broader implications for Bitcoin's legal landscape mean for the future of digital privacy and self-custody? I dissected these developments with a critical eye, questioning the balance between regulatory oversight and the fundamental right to privacy.

"The internet assumed NOTHING and it won because it had the basic, robust, open building blocks upon which all the innovation actually occurred. The same thing has happened with Bitcoin over the last 15 years and is now starting to happen with Nostr. And it’s right on time, because the gateways to the internet have centralized to such a degree that the very topography of the web is changing. Access to this open bazaar is being threatened because the applications who were once gateways, have started to become gatekeepers. To fix this, and to fundamentally fix the internet, we need to upgrade the Internet stack and establish a new suite of superior products, services and applications that compete on value, not on gatekeeper economics. ~ Aleks Svetski How did we get from the open, decentralized bazaar that was the internet protocol, to the centralized, platform siloed experience we find ourselves in today? And by discovering how we got here, can we begin to see the path to getting out of the trap we have wandered into? Today we have an incredible article and concept brought to us by author, entrepreneur, and regular guest on the show, Alek Svetski on something they discovered in their process of building a Bitcoin LLM (Spirit of Satoshi), and how it uncovered a value case for Nostr that may very well change the nature of what we can build.

With 12 years of perspective, where are we in reference to the larger trends and what may lie ahead in the coming future? Tuur is deeply knowledgeable on the macro landscape and in seeing how the pieces of the puzzle fit together, explains the differences that allow us to know that Bitcoin's destiny will not end up like gold's, and a worthy note, he is also incredibly bullish.

"I'm a Bitcoin skeptic. I'm not buying Bitcoin in 2024, even if it goes back to its recent all-time highs, or higher. Here's why." ~ Ben Gran Ben breaks down his view of Bitcoin and why he cannot see or understand any reason it would go higher. Why he doesn't invest in things that don't produce anything, because this is antithetical to investment. Why he doesn't see how something that has no purpose could possibly continue increasing in value. And how something that people claim will be the most valuable asset in the world, will also be the dominant money, because (obviously) these two ideas are contradictory. It's important to refresh our understanding of the typical person's perspective of Bitcoin, in order to be able to relate to, and hopefully explain where their thinking is wrong.

Many people make the serious miscalculation, that if the CPI isn't too high, then printing money isn't a problem and doesn't really cost them anything. This couldn't be further from the truth. All it means is that the cost is just that much harder to see. But if you want to look at something that is truly dominated by the fiat culture and incentives of the money, there is no better example, than finance. This is where the money printing begins, and so all of the disastrous effects of monetary inflation and fiat, occur first, and to the greatest degree, in the financial sector.

"That dogma was necessary — without it the people who have built this ecosystem into what it is today wouldn’t have had the motivation to do so. Without that dogma, those people would not have had customers and users to build anything for in the first place. It was the foundation of everything we have around us today. Now the inevitable is happening: the foundation is cracking." ~ Shinobi Guy Swan delves into an article by Shinobi from Bitcoin Magazine, exploring the complexities of ideological dogmas within the Bitcoin community. The episode questions the sustainability of foundational beliefs that have driven the cryptocurrency's ecosystem thus far. What happens when the dogmatic pillars that supported the growth of Bitcoin begin to crumble? Tune in as Guy Swan offers a deep dive into these evolving controversies, providing insights that challenge the conventional wisdom of Bitcoin's invulnerability to ideological shifts.

"On the face of it, Bitcoin’s existence seems to violate Mises’s theorem, unless a preceding non-monetary use can be demonstrated. That is, Bitcoin would have to be first valued for its direct utility before it could hold indirect exchange value. So have the criteria been met, or does Bitcoin violate the theorem?" - Emile Phaneuf You've inevitably come across the argument that Bitcoin violates Mises's Regression Theorem if you've been in bitcoin long enough, but is this really true? And with the obvious and undeniable emergence of Bitcoin, what can this tell us about Mises's observation, and how it applies with the dynamics of the digital age?"

"Hedgehog uses relative time locks. So that if they don't have to worry about closing that channel with a relative time lock, it's whenever you do close the channel, now you've got 2016 blocks to sweep the money using the pre-image. Otherwise I can sweep it after those 2016 blocks go by... And because it only uses relative time locks, it's much more delay tolerant... In the Lightning Network today, you've got hours to settle these things. And often if someone sends a zap to somebody and then they turn off their computer or turn off their phone and go to the supermarket or whatever, they come back and their channel's been forced closed because it's not very delay tolerant. It only gives you hours. But the Hedgehog Network can give you months." ~ Super Testnet In this episode, I dive into the challenging yet fascinating topic of offline payments with my guest, Super Testnet. Super Testnet, a seasoned independent freelance software developer, shares his latest venture into solving some of the Lightning Network's most persistent challenges through a new protocol called Hedgehog. We discuss the technical nitty-gritty of Lightning transactions, the innovative approach of revocable scripts, and how Hedgehog might just change the game for Lightning Network payments.The conversation covers the mechanics of the Lightning Network, the complexities of conducting seamless transactions without both parties being continuously online, and the promising solutions Hedgehog proposes. Additionally, we touch upon BitVM, delving into its development, functionality, and potential impact on the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.If you are interested in understanding the technical foundations of Bitcoin's second-layer solutions and the cutting-edge developments aimed at refining digital transactions for enhanced efficiency, security, and ease of use, then this one's for you.

"It's going up forever, Laura." ~ Michael Saylor I know to many people that sounds crazy, and I can still see in my mind why it sounds crazy. Today, I'm going to make the argument for why it isn't crazy, but both natural and intuitive. Also, why it *doesn't* mean what you are probably picturing in your head. I'm going to make the case today, and I hope that you walk away realizing that this isn't unrealistic at all, but is the way it's *supposed to work,* that Bitcoin is, in fact, going up forever, Laura.

"People that are in the Western world and specifically in the United States, what they're realizing, whether they can say it this way or not, is you're watching the end of an empire. I said this for a long time, and it's not the empire is going to collapse. The empire is collapsing right now. We are in the midst of, and people say economic collapse, it's empire collapse, which means economic is part of it." ~ Jack Spirko In this episode I interview Jack Spirko, host of The Survival Podcast, delving into the intersection of self-reliance, Bitcoin, and navigating the complexities of modern society.We explore the significance of preparedness in the digital age, the evolution of Bitcoin and its role in fostering financial autonomy, and discuss practical strategies for building a self-sufficient lifestyle amidst the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

"As I see it, humanity is at a turning point where we must either embrace a small handful of totalitarian super intelligences or move AI to the edge, allowing a wide diversity of machine intelligences to flourish in cooperation with an equally diverse set of human intelligences, forming a truly decentralized hivemind. Fortunately, there’s mounting evidence that open source models will be the ultimate winners." ~Hivemind Ventures Our read from HiveMind Ventures today argues that the future of AI development hinges on embracing open-source models and decentralization to counteract the monopolistic tendencies of large corporations and governments. What if we already have the tools and foundations to create a genuine decentralized hivemind of human and artificial intelligences that change how we organize and progress.

"We know the law is unconstitutional. FinCEN knows the law is unconstitutional. FinCEN knows we know the law is unconstitutional. And yet we're supposed to pretend like nothing happened and comply with an illegal law." ~ Jameson Lopp What do we do when a regulatory agency continues to enforce an illegal law against a judicial verdict? Jameson Lopp explores the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), revealing how it mandates extensive reporting to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, compromising individual privacy and security under the guise of legal compliance. How does this act, despite being challenged for its constitutionality, reflect broader tensions between privacy rights and government surveillance in the digital age?
