Bitcoin Audible

We are diving into a discussion today with the creator of ParsePrompt on a perspective of where Ai can be leveraged for the highest multiplier. How to use Ai to make one form of content valuable over multiple mediums in an automated an repeatable fashion. As well as exploring the nuance of the open source alternatives, getting an LLM to speak with your data, and where hype has us chasing a foolish idea and missing what's right in front of us. Don't miss an awesome chat with Luke.

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.

"One night during my visit to Bondo, Carl asked me to pause as the sunset was fading, to look at the hills around us: the lights were all turning on, all across the foothills of Mt. Mulanje. It was a powerful sight to see, and staggering to think that Bitcoin is helping to make it happen as it converts wasted energy into human progress." ~ Alex Gladstein Can you imagine what it may be like to lack access to the most basic necessities like electricity, only to finally have the opportunity to turn your lights on as the sun sets, due to a room of computers, hashing away for the Bitcoin network? Alex Gladstein of the Human Rights Foundation brings us another incredible piece on how Bitcoin is freeing both the persecuted people and the wasted energy on the African continent.

"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.

"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.

There are a lot of speculation, claims, predictions, and accusations around the successes and faults of the Lightning Network. But where do this things fall when we look at the boots on the ground metrics? When we really look at the hard data, what can we know for certain? Today we dig into the past few years of lightning development and growth with Sam Wouters from River, author of the incredible Lightning Report released in August of last year. If you are interested in the truth of Lightning, this is a conversation not to miss.

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.

"The computers used to create valuable new Bitcoin tokens and validate transactions consume around the same amount of energy as a medium-sized country such as Sweden would generate. Hence the stinging critique of how this cryptocurrency wastes the planet’s precious resources." — Ian Birrell Is it true that Bitcoin only wastes energy and is the sole purview of financial gambling and speculation in the western world, or are there boots on the ground showing the real results of the "pioneer species" thesis we've recently covered?

"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.

"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 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.

“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.

"There is a Remnant there that you know nothing about. They are obscure, unorganized, inarticulate, each one rubbing along as best he can. They need to be encouraged and braced up because when everything has gone completely to the dogs, they are the ones who will come back and build up a new society; and meanwhile, your preaching will reassure them and keep them hanging on. Your job is to take care of the Remnant, so be off now and set about it." ~ Albert Jay Nock In this reboot episode, we revisit the profound insights of the article "Isaiah's Job," exploring the timeless messages delivered by the prophet Isaiah over his fifty-year ministry to the southern kingdom of Judah. Against the backdrop of political turmoil and societal sins mirroring those of ancient times, Isaiah emerges as a unique figure, his words resonating with a powerful truth: if His chosen people won't be His, they will be no people at all. Isaiah's teachings remain relevant, urging reflection on ethical conduct, justice, and the consequences of straying from unwavering principles. His call for obedience to God's laws resonates, emphasizing the enduring importance of spiritual values and moral accountability in modern society. Check out the original article at Isaiah's Job.

"You got to go from proto banking to full service banking and then to central banking and you know interconnected central bank. So now a lot of that is actually a technological story and I don't think it gets covered enough because most people covering it. Historians and economists aren't necessarily looking at the lens of technology and at most they'll give a caveat like oh the telegraph allowed this.But it's like no, that's actually not like a footnote.That's a core thing that happened, that changed everything.And so that's why I wanted to focus Broken Money on not just individual decisions but actually how technology dictates the changing money over time." ~ Lyn Alden Today we have a riveting conversation with Lyn Alden, the acclaimed author of 'Broken Money,' as we delve into the inevitable march of technology and how it has shaped the world of money, ethics, and politics from the gold standard, through the fiat era, and on to Bitcoin.

Ai is a powerful tool, and thus, necessarily comes with incredible risk. It could obsolete millions of workers, taking jobs and productive capacity away from humans and consolidate it into corporations. It could make the average individual too dangerous, putting incredible power into the hands of bad people. It may even present an existential threat to humanity, a veritable nuclear bomb, made available to everyone in the world... What could all of this mean? Doesn't it suggests we need to tightly control, license, and scrutinize access to these base tools?

In this episode I dive into the ongoing shift from closed systems to open, permissionless digital realms, drawing parallels to the internet revolution. I discuss the importance of privacy as a fundamental right, and explain why government attempts to regulate and control Bitcoin are contemptible and flawed. With a focus on recent FinCEN rules and Senator Warren's proposed bill, I advocates for a re-evaluation of regulatory approaches, challenging the authorities to understand the true nature of Bitcoin and its global, decentralized nature. Tune in for a thought-provoking "Dear Government" message and a compelling exploration of the technological advancements reshaping our financial future.

"I’ve done an overall analysis of the proposal by addressing seven different sections of where FinCEN is attempting to infringe on your rights. From violating the sanctity of your personal information and restricting your financial autonomy, to stifling your freedom of speech and association, I’ll unpack each area. This is about shining a light on the fine print, connecting the dots, and equipping you with the knowledge you need to stand up against these intrusive measures. It’s time to draw a line in the sand and protect the liberties that define us." ~ Preston Pysh FinCEN has taken it upon themselves, by the permission of the PATRIOT ACT, to unilaterally enforce an onerous reporting and surveillance apparatus on all digital currency services and providers, in a vague and burdensome violation of the basic right to privacy and protection against warrantless search in their proposed FINCEN-2023-0016 Rule.

"Nothing in the ordinal logic requires inscriptions to be linked to the “first” sat. So why is it the first sat of the first output? Why not the second sat of the first output? Why not the last, or one of the other hundreds, thousands, or millions of other satoshis which were also present in that same transaction? The answer is, well, because we are _pretending_ that it is so. In other words, we say a sat is inscribed _by fiat_." ~ Southern Hands You may have heard many claims of the innovative and exciting things being built with ordinals, and how the popular new inscription NFTs are inspiring a flurry of activity and pushing fees higher on the Bitcoin chain. What exactly are ordinals that have made this possible? And how does one own a "scarce digital artifact" on the blockchain? Is there any truth to these claims, or is it all smoke and mirrors?

The principle that one should help men in an emergency cannot be extended to regard all human suffering as an emergency and to turn the misfortune of some into a first mortgage on the lives of others.” ~ Ayn Rand Today we are going to turn some concepts on their head. I hope that this challenges many to reflect not on their judgements, but to reflect on *the internal values that push us toward those judgements.* What if our thinking is twisted by a deeply internalized, but absurdly unrealistic expectation? Why are ethics questions always framed in the context of a life or death emergency? Or framed from the context of who we should sacrifice our life for, painting the universe as persistent chaos and malevolence. How does this help us in our day to day lives? What does this framing imply for moral values for the other 99.9% of the time?

"Many people insist that governments aren't involved in censorship, but they are. And now, a whistleblower has come forward with an explosive new trove of documents, rivaling or exceeding the Twitter Files and Facebook Files in scale and importance." ~ Michael Shellenberger From time we time we get a lucky glimpse into the mindset and tactics of the counterfeit class. Exposing their crimes and systems of manipulation. Today we uncover more, thanks to the help of an anonymous, brave whistleblower, we find a public-private partnership to systematically censor political opposition and deliberate manipulate the narrative and cover up the truth. When you control the flow of information, you control the limits of belief. They not only knew this, but used it as a pillar in a framework to defame, discredit, attack, propagandize, and use fake accounts to openly harass anyone who told "the wrong version" of the truth. A peak inside the Censorship Industrial Complex. What does this have to do with Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a system that exists at multiple layers of society. The free flow of information is critical to securing the communication and social layers of the system. There is no solution to censorship in centralized platforms. I urge you to explore Nostr, Holepunch, and Bitcoin/Lightning if you haven't. This is a technology problem, and we have the solutions.

The free market works because economic decisions are made by people who have skin in the game. When you spend $100 you have earned, you understand the cost. It was your sweat the created the gain, and no one can understand that cost better than you when you go to spend it. Genuine value information, and real trade offs inform the price in the market. Money is simply a reflection of the resources it is allocating. It is nothing more than a ledger system for allocating resources across time. But when someone can cheat the ledger. When the money can be counterfeited at will. It pours a torrent of noise into the economic signal. The free market is essentially destroyed. Because the allocation of your decisions, of everyone's value judgements being signaled in the market, is overrun by trillions in counterfeit. With no skin in the game, with no thought, without understanding the value that went into it, or having to pay for the cost of their errors. It is a system of economic fraud and disinformation. But the problem isn't merely an economic one. The fiat system, has another, more sinister consequence. One that is tied to the very nature of the human spirit. It's time for a Guy's Take episode.

"Clients applying this reasoning should remember that, in bitcoin, no one is too big to fail. There is no government or money printer capable of restoring lost coins, so there are no bailouts. Trusting a single company, no matter their qualifications, to protect your bitcoin creates significant counterparty risk." ~ Dhruv Bansal We come at you with another read today, this one on the maturation and new developments in the collaborative custody industry. Today we are used to thinking of Bitcoin security as either left with a custodian, or kept in personal cold storage, while I think the future will look back on this as the immature beginnings of one of the most vibrant markets in bitcoin finance. Most of the world will exist in the middle, with shared and distributed custody providers, eliminating single points of failure in markets across the globe... and it all begins, with a network of keys...

"A recent anonymous proposal specifies a system using timelocked Bitcoin transactions and chaumian ecash mints to create an economic incentive for BitTorrent users to seed files." ~ Shinobi Bittorrent was one of the most important protocols in the world during its day, but it always had one striking drawback, for any content that wasn't very popular, availability was always a problem. Even more so today as the network has found itself a smaller and more fringe part of internet culture. What if there was a way to incentivize seeders to return? To bring the P2P protocol back into its element? An anonymous proposal called Durabit, seeks to marry bitcoin, ecash, and bittorrent, to potentially breathe new life into the old P2P system.

"The difference between the Linden Dollar, World of Warcraft Gold, Fortnite V-Bucks, the Euro, and the U.S. dollar is in scale, not in nature. While V-Bucks are created and controlled by Epic Games (the company that created Fortnite), the U.S. dollar is created and controlled by the Fed. One impacts millions of people, the other billions. The mechanism that keeps these monies in check--the rules of the game, if you will - is the same in both cases: central decree." ~ DerGigi For those who are new to the show, there are so many phenomenal pieces we have covered that deserve to be heard.

"The recurring cycle of economic booms followed by inevitable busts has remained a puzzle for generations of observers. While mainstream Keynesian and monetarist theories propose monetary interventions to smooth these fluctuations, the Austrian School offers a compelling and alternative perspective" ~ Michael Matulef The bust will not be escaped. We cannot print our way out of it, we cannot cover it up with more artificial interest rate controls. We have drunken ourselves into an economic and financial stuper for far too long, we have avoided the hangover with another massive bender decade after decade - so long that we've lost sight entirely of the purpose of investment, the culture of sustainable capital, and the very reason for frugality and sustainable savings. The crash will hurt, but its the *solution*, not the problem.

"Our first instinct when interacting with a Large Language Model should not be “wow these things must be really smart or really creative or really understanding”. Our first instinct should be “I’ve probably asked it to do something that it has seen bits and pieces of before”. That might mean it is still really useful, even if it isn’t “thinking really hard” or “doing some really sophisticated reasoning”. We don’t have to use anthropomorphization to understand what it is doing to provide us a response." ~ Mark Riedl Today we dive into a great piece from Mark Riedl attempting to demystify ChatGPT and large language models. Are they thinking? do they understand reason? Can we even understand what is happening inside these intelligent machines or have we created something we cannot control? What if the truth is far simpler, and actually easy to understand? And we can cut through all the hype, fear, and confusion, to get at the heart of what this technology really is, and what an incredible tool it can be. Don't miss this incredible piece.

"Ultimately, my goal with Coinos is to make Bitcoin a super simple user interface for "normies" to be able to come on and not have to understand how things are working under the hood... Just get on the website, make your account and you're good to go." - Adam Today we bring on the team from Coinos on the developing merchant market, how to build tools and services in an uncertain regulatory environment, and how to onboard your local market into the Bitcoin ecosystem easily and for their benefit. They've built a tool to simplify interfacing with Bitcoin and Lightning, and soon Liquid as well, to make the next era of adoption, the one that finally expands to a global, brick and mortar marketplace. The era of Bitcoin commerce is coming, it's time to prepare accordingly.

Is Bitcoin destined to become another fiat system? Where we end up in a world where the dominant instrument isn't Bitcoin at all, but just more IOUs? Where Bitcoin substitutes replace real Bitcoin? Does it not just become another fiat system, or are there fundamental incentives and technological trends that prevent this and push us ever closer to total sovereignty? With smaller and smaller communities and institutions able to organize and exit in an independent way... where a Bitcoin world means a free world? It's time for a follow-up to Eric Yake's and Axiom BTC's amazing piece, "Banks without bankers." Get ready for another "Guys Take" episode. Keep an ear out for the 1000th episode of the show!
