For the forseable future anyway, the cryptographic transformation of the dollar is not just inevitable but economically very attractive to the global south. Americans don’t get it, the Dollar is their water but the rest of the world is drowning in much worse fiat.Meanwhile Bitcoin is still in it’s distribution stage barely cracking 1% global adoption. One day Bitcoin can - I really believe - become a daily use currency. I live in that future often. But in the meanwhile, an intermediary technology will take place.

I got to sit down with a couple of members of Blockstream.com who are working on adoption of the Liquid Network in Latino America. It was a very interesting discussion and overview with a couple of hot moments via a surprise guest.We talk about some of the barriers to Liquid adoption, how it can help scale Bitcoin and how it differs from other ‘layer 2’ solutions like the Lightning Network.

Justin Hodl made a twit a few weeks ago that blew my mind. If asics are basically at peak performance, and going from 3 to 2 nanometer chips is only a marginal improvement in mining power, then are we upon the commoditization of Bitcoin asics?Maybe mass production of good enough asic chips is upon us?

From one of the oldest mining pools in the game, Kristian held ground on the many concerns and general FUD about Bitcoin mining centralization.

As Colombia’s furthest left president in my life time, Petro’s interest in Bitcoin was not only surprising, but unorthodox. The problems he was looking to solve with Bitcoin are not what people usually associate with the distributed network, yet I agree, are very powerful posibilities.Primarily, the public auditability of critical government money flows. Petro wants to use Bitcoin to publicly time stamp payments from the government to the healthcare sector in Colombia, to disuade the many corruption scandals. He also wants to use Bitcoin’s public ledger to track the return of lands titles to people who lost them during the country’s civil war with the narco guerrillas.He struck closer to familiar Bitcoin territory when him and Samson Mow of Jan3 discussed using Bitcoin mining to curve flare gas emissions as well as to bank the many un-banked co-op communities far from the country’s mayor cities.Over all, this conversation with Samson Mow was quite a window into the mind of one of Colombia’s most controversial presidents.

Can Maximalism become a dominant cultural force, or is it doomed to be a defensive ideology of the most technical and dedicated Bitcoiners?Will Silicon Valley VC’s stop launching pump and dump ICO style coins, and start building long term Bitcoin infrastructure, or do we have to tolerate such a practice in order to benefit from their talent networks and capital?

From economic facts about Argentina’s economic woes, to the unavoidable hyperinflation of their Peso. In this episode of the Juan Galt podcast, we do a full tour of the presidential campaign that is posed to change latino America, and which will be getting settled in only a few weeks! The campaign of the self described Anarcho Capitalist, Javier Milei.This show as a lesson in political strategy and a showcase of late stage socialism. As Teson put it, Argentina is in the end of times. And through the cracks we see the possibilities of a new beginning. Special thanks to our sponsor BeaverBitcoin.com, if you are a fellow Canadian trying to escape the increasing inflation of the Canadian dollar (Only a decade or so away from Argentina’s) then you’ll want to check out this service, the easiest way to buy Bitcoin and stash it away automatically.

Had the pleasure of discussing Javier Milei with non other than David Puell, investment analyst at ARK Invest. As well as Adam Dub, investment analyst at Ichi Fibonacci. All while tumbling down the rabbit hole of the anarcho capitalist presidential front runner in Argentina.We discussed the good, the bad and the ugly of Mr. Milei, including what most are not likely to see as his greatest vulnerability. His bias towards private sector fraud.As an ancap, I’ve seen plenty of it among my peers and heroes, it is a sad reality that while anarcho capitalists are very well versed on nation state fraud, they seem to not have much of an answer, or the stomach to try and prevent the many ponzi schemes and other scams that private individuals are so good at inventing.Mr. Milei has a bit of a disappointing history with such scams, however I find my self tolerating this weakens in his profile, given the absurdly flashy and confusing circus that the crypto industry can be during a bull market. He should learn from it however and watch his flank from the worst of the private sector.On all other fronts, Milei is picture perfect. His economic policy looks deeply thought out, his analysis of dollarization makes a great deal of sense to me for Argentina, his openness to currency competition is good for them and the world. His position on school vouchers for the public education and university system, as well as his preference for deregulating private gun ownership are also on point. All of them are sensible policies that are proven to improve civilian security and private wealth. Which is what anyone who is not a communist should aspire to. Anyway, this is what we talk about, we navigate many of these issues in our conversation, including some deep dives into Argentina’s economics, and the hard choice the country faces, as their future hangs between Milei and more of the same in alliance with the Bricks and IMF. Do let me know what you think bout this topic and about Milei.
