"You have to decide how to move forward. You have to decide what game you want to play; how much responsibility you are willing to shoulder. Do you want to stay stuck in the machine? A machine that uses and abuses you? A machine that feeds itself by extracting and devouring your time, attention, and value? Or do you have the courage to take control of your wealth, health, thoughts, and speech?" ~ DerGigi Free speech is a non-negotiable foundation for society and human progress, as the open exchange of ideas allows us to productively clash perspectives and arrive at truth. Free speech and societal evolution are inextricably linked, our discussion today underscores how critical unrestricted discourse is to confronting humanity's most complex problems. But there is a huge concern in our current era... how can we ensure robust protections for free speech in an era of increasing censorship and centralized control over communication platforms?

Guy Swann and Preston Pysh explore the dramatic shifts in global finance and the pivotal role of Bitcoin amidst rising inflation and the banking sector's vulnerabilities. They discuss how Bitcoin's growing influence could recalibrate financial power dynamics, offering a stark contrast to traditional economic mechanisms prone to manipulation and control. How might Bitcoin's ascent challenge the existing financial order and catalyze a shift towards more decentralized, resilient economic structures?

Fiat money has a collection of malincentives and consequences for the degrading and rotting of society. As we covered in the first part of this series, it leads to mindless consumerism and a more materialist culture. As we continue, I want to cover something else that it does by stealing the value of our savings which is our bet on the future health and capacity of society to provide for us. What happens when we are forced to bet against the future. As well as artificially lowering the price to replace things in the economy, until an enormous amount of the economic engine is built around quick financing, low quality products, and then throwing it away to finance the next thing.

"The mechanisms enforcing this modern censorship are not confined to private sectors or individual platforms but are significantly directed and influenced by the U.S. government itself. This intertwining of state powers with censorship activities marks a troubling departure from traditional American values, where free speech has been held sacred." ~ Dr. Joseph Mercola The troubling and dangerous emergence of a modern censorship system has taken hold in the west. A partnership of the governments, the military industrial complex, tech giants, and establishment news media have together subtly transformed the internet from a freedom-promoting platform into a tightly monitored, controlled, and censored environment. Could this be the end of free speech online, and what, if anything, can we do about it? All this and more as we cover Dr. Joseph Mercola's excellent article and expand in the Guy's Take to follow.

"All around the nation there are toddlers plunked down in front of iPads being subjected to synthetic runoff, deprived of human contact _even in the media they consume. There’s no other word but dystopian." ~ Mike Hoel What happens when the internet is so overrun with awful ai generated content, that it becomes too overwhelming to even find anything of value? And this is happening now, not in the future. What happens to a generation of toddlers who are watching incoherent, plotless, inhuman videos over and over again that are completely ai generated from beginning to end and are devoid of human meaning or depth of any kind? Millions of views on these videos poison the minds of kids all over the country while parents have no idea what the content actually is. Are we headed into a dystopia, and experiment with the minds of our children? And what on earth could we do to fix this? Find out in today's episode of Ai Unchained.

"In a system that depends on irresponsible government spending (especially for perpetual war) and fiat printing to cover that irresponsibility, alarm bells cannot be allowed to work. There must be no pure price signals. ~ MacroScope In "Bitter Opposition to Bitcoin," the episode delves into the reasons behind policymakers' aversion to Bitcoin, particularly the prospect of a Bitcoin ETF. What if the antagonism has nothing to do with the openly stated claims?

"Of all measurement instruments, the clock is the most valuable because so many of the things we sacrifice to create are not fungible. The massive clock towers of Europe, with their enormous loud and resonant bells, broadcasting time, fairly across the town and even the countryside, rather than the last relics of the medieval, were the first building block of the wealthy modern world." ~ Nick Szabo Part 2 of "A Measure of Sacrifice" delves into the profound impact of mechanical clocks on societal structures, emphasizing how the precise measurement of time transformed economic practices and labor relations. By creating a standardized and fungible measure of sacrifice — time — clocks facilitated the shift from serfdom and slavery to wage labor, showcasing the power of technological advancements in reshaping human interactions and values. How does this illuminate the value and role of Bitcoin in creating a new revolution in the measure and exchange of sacrifice, independently and verifiably? Could it end monetary slavery?

"From an engineering perspective the mechanical clock with its novelty, the escapement, was by far the more important invention. In terms of its impact on contemporary temporal relationships, the mechanical clock and sandglass were of similar importance. The main innovations were the restructurings of the relationships themselves. Chief among these was the time-rate wage, which played a leading role the economic revolution that started in the late Middle Ages. -- During this era physically coerced labor gave way to worker choice; serfdom and slavery succumbed to the time-rate wage." ~ Nick Szabo In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating history of timekeeping and its revolutionary impact on society and our economy.

I'm sure you have heard the claim that without inflation and the good people running the counterfeit machine, people would never spend money and it would cause an economic crisis. But have you ever seriously considered what the consequences of encouraging consumption and materialist economic activity might actually be, and whether we really need to subsidize the human desire to use up resources? What if it degrades the very process by which we even determine what our resources are worth to begin with? It's time for a Guy's Take episode.

"It might feel as if the promised future is perpetually out of reach, but building Lightning is a lot like climbing a mountain. Climbers never really see the summit until they’re standing on top of it. They often can’t even see over the next ridge. Planning the ascent is important, but most of the time you’re simply concentrating on the next foothold. But the steps add up. Just like the view from the top is the reward for all that effort, a brighter monetary future will be our reward for building the network bit by bit." ~ Roy Sheinfeld Today we dive into a short read covering an interesting technical challenge, but touches on a hint of truth that makes for a fascinating commentary to follow. It is easy to get lost and see where Bitcoin's potential hasn't lived up to impossible promises, but its critical that we not lose sight of where we have come from. To have a perspective rooted in reality weighing our progress from where we actually came, not lost in a foolish expectation and comparing to a falsely remembered past.

"Izzy said there could be inflation in a hyperbitcoinized world. And she's right. Calm down, maxis, calm down! Explaining why this is true sheds light on yet another of Bitcoin’s quasi-magical properties and paints our hyperbitcoinized future an even rosier shade of orange. This is good for Bitcoin." ~ Allen Farrington This may seem crazy, heretical even, but inflation can occur in a hyperbitcoinized world. How could that possibly be? When there's only ever 21 million BTC? Is this nothing but fiat nonsense, or does it clarify an important distinction while at the same time revealing the absurdity of a major keynesian economic model?

"The foregoing considerations are by no means an exhaustive account of the cultural and spiritual legacy of fiat inflation. But they should suffice to substantiate the main point: that fiat inflaiton is a powerhouse of social, economic, cultural, and spiritual destruction." Fiat inflation is more than a hidden tax on everyday folks—it's the fuel for the worst parts of our system, feeding both the war monster overseas and a creeping police state at home. It fosters a culture where impulsive, harmful choices are rewarded, punishing those who live sensibly and plan for tomorrow. It's a thief that strips us of our wealth, our values, and our spirit. Dive into today's must-read from Jorg Guido Hulsmann at the Mises Institute, and see the society rotting symptoms of the fiat disease.

"For too long, the world has had to endure the fallout of subpar academic research on bitcoin mining’s energy use and environmental impact. The outcome of this bullshit research has been shocking news headlines that have turned some well-meaning people into angry politicians and deranged activists. So that you never have to endure the brutality of one of these sloppy papers, I’ve sacrificed my soul to the bitcoin mining gods and performed a full-scale analysis of a study from the United Nations University, published recently in the American Geophysical Union’s Earth’s Future. Only the bravest and hardest of all bitcoin autists may proceed to the following paragraphs, the rest of you can go back to watching the price chart." ~ Margot Paez The battle for common sense in Bitcoin regulation and understanding of its energy use and environmental footprint may not ever be winnable, but in the course of the war on garbage research, if from time to time we get entertaining and scathing articles like this one from Margot Paez that tears apart their research... maybe it'll all be worth it.

"NWC is useful for far more than simply integrating Lightning into Nostr applications as well. The entire design philosophy of Nostr itself as a protocol was centered around keeping it simple enough that the entire protocol could be easily implemented correctly by any developer with minimal time and resources. Applications that have nothing to do with Nostr can easily integrate NWC or similar protocols with almost no overhead or complexity to address the underlying issues of how to connect a Bitcoin wallet with their application without having to build it directly into the app." What if some of the biggest improvements in security, decentralization, and the power of Bitcoin and its app ecosystem, isn't a new OP_CODE or functionality of the bitcoin client, but instead the utilization of something completely separate? What if we can use Nostr, or other decentralized protocols, as identity and coordination layers for Bitcoin apps, so new applications can quickly and easily communicate, and connect to other devices and wallets, without the incredible overhead and complexity that this usually entails?

The main promise of quantum computing is the ability to solve problems far faster than classical computers, but exactly how much faster varies. There are two applications where quantum algorithms appear to provide an exponential speed up, says Troyer. One is factoring large numbers, which could make it possible to break the public key encryption the internet is built on. The other is simulating quantum systems, which could have applications in chemistry and materials science." ~ Edd Gent Is Bitcoin destined to fall when quantum computers make their debut? Is the encryption that underpins the entire design of the system at risk this year? This decade? This century? What is the real story behind quantum computing and is there anything we can know from looking at the industry today and where it has, or has not succeeded, in living up to its many promises? Find out in today's episode. Check out the original article at Quantum Computing’s Hard, Cold Reality Check Hype is everywhere, skeptics say, and practical applications are still far away.

"One of the amazing things about the internet economy is how different the list of top internet properties today looks from the list ten years ago. It wasn’t as if those former top companies were complacent – most of them acquired and built products like crazy to avoid being displaced. The reason big new things sneak by incumbents is that the next big thing always starts out being dismissed as a “toy.” ~ Chris Dixon Why do so many miss the biggest innovations and most revolutionary technologies sitting right in front of their eyes? Sometimes, like Bitcoin, it is such a drastic change, or solves something so fundamental, that many aren't even aware of the problem. It simply doesn't fit in their worldview. But far more often disruptive technologies are dismissed because they find their first footing in a small, obscure, or purely explorative niche... in other words, they get mistaken as a toy, until they change the world.

"Bitcoin wastes energy. You've heard it a million times. But what if its the exact opposite of the truth in every way? What if its actually our energy grid that is wasteful, and Bitcoin can fix it? What if its renewable energy that is unreliable and uneconomical, and bitcoin mining can balance it out. What is its fiat that's wasteful and unfair, and Bitcoin can correct it? And what if the entire premise is built upon the failure to even understand what it is that Bitcoin does? I think it's time for a Guys' Take episode" Today we follow up Gladstein's incredible read, and delve into the potential of Bitcoin mining to balance renewable energy sources, correct the wastefulness of fiat currencies, and provide an economically sustainable solution to the world's monetary problems. With insights into how Bitcoin not only conserves but optimizes wasted energy, the discussion challenges prevailing narratives about Bitcoin's energy consumption, offering a fresh perspective on its role in environmental sustainability and economic empowerment.

"To put it simply, there are now corporations with billions of dollars of investment in not just the asset, but the ecosystem. Mining is a huge economic drain on the system, and all it accomplishes is censorship resistance. If censorship resistance isn’t worth tens or hundred of billions or dollar per year to the corporations; they will find a way to end it. When they do try to end it, they can point to the ETFs enduring appeal and ignore any constitutional brinkmanship from OG Bitcoiners who threaten to reject the new rules or sell their stacks." ~ Achim Warner Does the approval and potentially massive success of the Bitcoin ETFs in the west change the incentive dynamics of the Bitcoin system? If the BlackRock ETF becomes the dominant form of liquidity for Bitcoin purchasing among the millions of fools who do not understand or care about its value or ethos, does this open a path to remove bitcoin's mining process completely, as censorship resistance becomes nothing more than an arbitrary cost? Is this the inevitable end for Bitcoin given a long enough amount of time for the ideology that protected it to be watered down, until it is unrecognizable?

In today's chat we dive into destroying economic myths and unraveling the political divides of our time toward what future they may be leading us to. What can we make of the balkanization of the US, a push for Texas independence, the unraveling of a global reserve currency and what could we see in the dollar's demise? We dive into all this and more with renowned Austrian economist, and author of Choice among many other books, Dr. Robert P. Murphy.

"Bitcoin enables perhaps the most powerful mode of ownership ever devised; it would be akin to gold inside a safe that can’t be penetrated with all the energy the universe, and with a password that you know but which could not be guessed over the entire lifetime of the universe." ~ Allen Farrington What if buying an ETF of Bitcoin, is contradictory to the very investment thesis of Bitcoin itself. Knowing the investment thesis for bitcoin, should entail the understanding that bitcoin's value proposition is undermined by the very notion of holding a credit instrument in its place. Farrington breaks down a few of the reasons why in this excellent, short letter to those considering a purchase of the newly approved bitcoin ETFs.

"It’s important to step outside of the hype and critically-analyze what is and is not useful. It’s very easy to get caught up in “potential” applications, and allow the imagination to go all exponential on you. It’s a very human thing. Turning that imagination into something tangible is what a business and an entrepreneur does. It’s our hope this report will be useful along that path." ~ Alek Svetski Today we dive into Part 2 of the Bitcoin & Ai Industry Report to learn the intricacies and challenges of building an Ai model from scratch! We delve deep into the process, discussing the complexities of data collection, transformation, and the critical integration of human feedback. Then to complete it, we take that knowledge to address many of the AI myths and misconceptions. Will AI replace humans? Is it going to take my job? Can I train my own AI? Is AGI around the corner? And much more! This is such a great episode for those who want to know and understand the process, of building AI...

"Retrospectively, a lot of ex-DigiCash employees understand why Chaum was so paranoid. As a cryptographer you have to assume the whole world is trying to rip you off. A certain amount of paranoia is part of the job. Chaum had also worked for intelligence agencies, and that didn't fortify his faith in the good intentions of humankind. His vision of the privacy of the individual was almost an obsession. In 1996 he said, in the relations magazine of Honeywell-Bull: "The difference between a bad electronic cash system and well-developed digital cash will determine whether we will have a dictatorship or a real democracy." ~ NEXT Magazine, 1999 Today's story unfolds around the rise and fall of DigiCash, a pioneering company in digital currency from the 90s. It delves into the paradox of its founder, David Chaum, a visionary yet paranoid cryptographer, whose brilliance in cryptography was overshadowed by his poor business acumen and inability to delegate. This leads to a compelling question: How did DigiCash, despite its advanced technology and potential to revolutionize digital payments, fail and how would the past have been different if it hadn't?

Sometimes in life and the course of history, there are moments where simply stating the truth, in a clear and understandable way, can stir a fire in thousands or even millions of people. Devon Eriksen, author and destroyer of socialist nonsense, joins us today to get to know him and his perspective. We discuss the nature of story, the importance of culture, the power of stating the simple truth, the dangers of being right too early, and what we need to do to turn the tide of a dying moral code and protect our values for future generations.

"I hope Bitcoin sticks around and grows more popular, but in its current form to most in #TradFi it is the opposite of SOUND MONEY, especially if it takes cult-like behavior to make it grow. It needs the STATE to force its use on everyone. That is what makes it MONEY." ~ Samantha LaDuc Today we dive into the enlightening twitter thread from financial analyst Samantha LaDuc on why Bitcoin cannot be and is not money, one of which is because money is enforced by the state, but that's only just the beginning. We witness another instance of the unfortunate confidence where people in finance mistakenly think that because they deal with money, and numbers, and charts, and P/E ratios, that this means they understand *money.* A very, very different discipline that is meaningful over far, far larger time horizons. So let's take a peak into this world view, and then in the spirit of debate... tear it apart. I think you'll enjoy this one Check out the original tweet at Samantha La Duc's profile.

There are so many myths and misconceptions around AI models. What they can do, how they are trained, even the fundamentals of how the data for them is even collected and formatted to make sense. The idea that we can "train our own model" by just feeding it a ton of conversation or notes is unrealistic, but why exactly is that? Today we get into a 2 Part read which will be one of the most value dense we have covered on the show yet. It breaks down the entirety of the process of identifying the core value, and then sourcing, qualifying, and prepping the data, and then training, fine tuning, adjusting, and testing an AI model built from it, from beginning to end. The Spirit of Satoshi project is an incredible open source endeavor and the team reveals tons of great details about the complexities and challenges of building an LLM, as well as the incredible work they are doing in building novel tools for crowdsourcing the hardest part of the process, and of course, how Bitcoin and Lightning enable better tools to make this all possible.

"Part of the problem of Lightning’s shortcoming regarding scalability of Bitcoin ownership is that in order to open a channel, or control a UTXO, you actually have to transact on the base layer. After that Lightning can facilitate a very large number of transactions off-chain but a user must still transact on-chain to onboard themselves to Lightning, It massively increases the number of transactions Bitcoin can process but it does nothing at all to increase the number of people who can own bitcoin. ~ Shinobi With scaling a hot issue again, and CTV coming back from the dead with concrete proposals, and covenants on the table, its time to dive back in and make sense of the options, and the concept of scaling not just bitcoin payments, as lightning has done, but Bitcoin ownership. From UTXOs to virtual UTXOs, could this primitive be the next major step in bringing Bitcoin sovereignty to the whole world? Check out the original article at How CTV Helps Scale Bitcoin.

The legacy financial system has arrived. One January 10th, numerous Bitcoin ETFs were approved. But is this even a good thing? What does this signal for the legitimacy of Bitcoin as an asset? What does it mean for the sovereignty of the network? This could both bring trillions of dollars in liquidity into Bitcoin and break through the Overton window of the average person. This may make bitcoin "real" for many who refused to pay attention before. But the big question... the real risk, is if we cannot scale sovereignty in Bitcoin to everyone in the world, what if we just end up with Gold 2.0? In a world of unbacked paper, and no way out? It's time for a Guy's take episode. Are the ETFs the End of the Bitcoin Dream?

" Channel liquidity and offline receives, in my opinion, are the two most obvious reasons why self-custodial lightning is not popular. When most users hear about any of these, they just think "screw that" and move to a custodial wallet because it is so much easier. If these were our only two problems, I think self-custodial lightning would be fine. It may never be the predominant way people use lightning, but we could get the UX good enough that we have a significant portion of people using lightning in a sovereign way. However, there are more problems under the surface." ~ BenTheCarmen Is it time to reframe our image of where lightning's role lies in the Bitcoin stack? There have been problems in the implementation that make the self custodial road a far more difficult UX challenge. While much of it has been mitigated, a few intractable problems remain, and some may be an existential result of how LN enforces security on the main chain. Where will the users be in a world of a billion Bitcoin users? And can the promise of lightning ever be fulfilled? Check out the original article at Rethinking Lightning.

"Bitcoin appears to be a decentralized Ponzi scheme not a decentralized currency. People don't spend it because they want it to go up. The dollar works because of inflation. It keeps velocity up like hot potato. If you want to store value silver gold and land. Because it's beautiful useful and valuable. Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme without an individual attached to it to go to prison. So the media can control swings for profit. That's my opinion about bitcoin. The purpose isn't currency the purpose is to make dollars. The dollars "weakness" is actually why it won't be replaced. Velocity." — Owen Benjamin Today we read a great little article from Robert P Murphy that challenges the notion that a currency must be "weak," in order for it to work as money.

The models, the tools, the implementations, everything is moving incredibly fast. But a very interesting trend that I've been seeing, is that the open source benchmarks are improving just slightly faster than the closed source alternatives. Slowly but surely, they are catching up. The day may come where the open source models are the best models, the ones with the greatest number of tools, and the largest variety of implementations, because naturally they're open and available for everyone to work on. There have been numerous new developments on running models more efficiently, running larger models on even smaller devices, and doing so with less power and computational overhead, as well as a new advancement in one of my favourite open source models, which may just be a big leap forward for how these are going to evolve moving forward. And that is what today's episode of AI Unchained is all about.

"Since 2017, bitcoin has been Stone Ridge’s treasury reserve asset because of my extreme aversion to risk. We run net short USD – which is fancy way of saying we net borrow fiat - to pay bills and make investments. We save in bitcoin. It would be impossible to overstate the corporate advantages of being on the Bitcoin Standard. Since 2017, we’ve doubled our franchises to ten, more than 10x’d our trading profits, and delivered 25% annualized ROE for our shareholders. Our firm compensation, rent, and total expenses are up 89%, 119%, and 69%, respectively, in fiat, and down 36%, 26%, and 43%, respectively, in bitcoin." ~ Ross Stevens Today we dive into the Stone Ridge Investor Letter for 2023, sharing wisdom on staying grounded and grateful, exploring long term investment perspectives, and dropping bombs regarding the foolishness of being on the fiat standard, and the incredible advantage of having a bitcoin treasury. This is a great read, not to be missed. A shout to Ross Stevens for the incredible work he is doing.

"This decision, which is legally sound, has the effect of declaring all private mortgages on real and personal property, and all U.S. and State bonds held by the Federal Reserve, National, and State banks to be null and void. This amounts to the emancipation of this Nation from personal, national, and state debt purportedly owed to this banking system. Every American owes it to himself to study this decision very carefully, for upon it hangs the question of freedom or slavery." ~ Jerome Daly Is it an exaggeration to say the financial and banking system of today have re-enslaved the country? Or is there a serious argument to be made, that explains why all those who build and create all the value of the modern, somehow owe it all back to the bankers, to those who contributed nothing to its creation. How can that be? Find out in Daniel Prince's recent piece, "Usury, Your Bank, and You." Check out the original article at Usury, Your Bank, And You.

“This makes Bitcoin miners uniquely symbiotic with energy grids serving as “demand response” partners. If energy is ever in short supply, people get priority over Bitcoin miners. However whenever there is excess energy, it gets monetized. This symbiotic relationship leads to more energy abundance generally.” ~ Brandon Quittem Another great piece coming at you today from The Bitcoin Times Ed 4, and by returning author Brandon Quittem, who did the incredible Mycelium Series for understanding Bitcoin through the lens of an organic mycelium like organism. Today he tackles Bitcoin mining, and how the altered incentives of Bitcoin make it a pioneer species that will allow us to expand into energy deserts, and spread the scope of civilization in a way not immediately obvious. Don’t miss today’s excellent read, "Bitcoin is a Pioneer Species." Check out the original article at Bitcoin is a Pioneer Species.
