    This chat episode is a riveting conversation which was originally featured on The Staying Free Podcast with my friend jonnyhodl.I delve deep into libertarian ethics, anarchism, and the necessity (or lack thereof) of the state. This thorough discussion sees Jonny playing devil’s advocate, challenging Guy to articulate and defend the principles of voluntarism and decentralized technology. Whether you're new to these concepts or a seasoned thinker, this episode offers valuable insights into the philosophical foundations that drive my advocacy for Bitcoin and libertarianism. Tune in for an enlightening dialogue that bridges the worlds of Austrian economics, cypherpunk values, and more.

    Read_830 - How Bitcoin Thrived Through the China Ban

    "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? Join us as we explore Roger Huang's fascinating analysis of Bitcoin's resilience against one of the world's most powerful governments. Discover what this means for the future of decentralized technology and why Bitcoin's robustness continues to defy the odds.Check out the original article at How Bitcoin Thrived Through China's Bans And Became Much Stronger (Link: https://chinabitcoinbook.com/?p=158)

    Chat_101 - The Bitcoin Civil War is Over! with Guy Swann [Anarchast]

    Chat_101 - The Bitcoin Civil War is Over! with Guy Swann [Anarchast]

    "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. Whether you're new to the debate or a seasoned Bitcoin enthusiast, this episode is packed with valuable insights.Tune in and join us as we navigate the complexities of the Blocksize War.
