    Read_849 - A Global Liquidity Barometer

    "These findings are notable because they demonstrate that even though the strength of the correlation may vary based on the time frame, Bitcoin’s price direction generally aligns with the direction of global liquidity. Furthermore, its price direction more closely mirrors global liquidity than any other traditional asset analyzed." — Sam Callahan If Bitcoin was set to become the purest price signal in the global economy, how might that manifest before it became a more widespread medium of exchange, and still played mostly the role of risk asset in global markets? Would it maybe provide the clearest, least affected by other arbitrary supply changes, market conditions, or jurisdictional economic effects than any other asset? Might it already be the best asset in the world for a directional correlation with global liquidity and a mirror for the money supply than every other traditional asset? What if we had analysis that suggested exactly this? Sam Callahan and Lyn Alden bring us this incredible investigation into Bitcoin's role in the global economy, and how it may already be telling us more than we realize. Don't miss this incredible investigation into global markets.

    Chat_114 - Breaking Out of the Fiat Mind with Tanja Bächle

    "Everybody's acting as nothing happened. And in Germany, it was so brutal. We had two lockdowns. Each was 6 and 8 months. Like there was a curfew. This is why I found nostr so fascinating. This is why this affects me so personally and why I'm so passionate about it. It's like, oh my God, there is hope."~Tanja Bächle There is more about Bitcoin and Nostr than merely the tech. More people will be brought in by the energy, the constant building and problem solving, and the feeling of hope that comes with it. Tanja, new to both Bitcoin and Nostr, has gone head first down the rabbit hole. She has taken on a major organizational role in the Nostr Booth Initiative, after being brought in by the potential she felt meeting the volunteers, entrepreneurs, and cypherpunks in the Nostr world. She joins me to share her journey of how she lost faith in the fiat world, chose to break from it by living in silence with monks, used her writing to empty her mind of the weight of it all, and then her discovery of bitcoin and nostr and finding hope in our decentralized future.   Guest Links Tanja Bächle on Nostr (Link: https://tinyurl.com/mstanpyx) Tanja Bächle on Twitter (Link: https://x.com/BachleTanja) Tanja Bächle on LinkTree (Link: https://linktr.ee/tanjabaechle) The Extraordinary: between drugged and f**ked by Tanja Bächle (Link: https://tinyurl.com/yc7whubv) The Traveling Nostr Booth - Bringing Nostr to LatAm project on Geyser (Link: https://tinyurl.com/y7cpyhdv) Host Links ⁠Guy on Nostr ⁠(Link: http://tinyurl.com/2xc96ney) ⁠Guy on X ⁠(Link: https://twitter.com/theguyswann) Guy on Instagram (Link: https://www.instagram.com/theguyswann) Guy on TikTok (Link: https://www.tiktok.com/@theguyswann) Guy on YouTube (Link: https://www.youtube.com/@theguyswann) ⁠Bitcoin Audible on X⁠ (Link: https://twitter.com/BitcoinAudible) The Guy Swann Network Broadcast Room on Keet (Link: https://tinyurl.com/3na6v839)

    Chat_113 - China's Surveillance State, CBDC's, Shifting Paradigms, and the Bitcoin Wildcard with Roger Huang

    "Stablecoins are acting in a way where they're bottoms up becoming a country. Countries are trying to reason with it, and the one thing the US is starting to understand is that whatever this thing is, it buys a ton of treasuries.I think what is gonna end up happening is the Western block, for a lack of a better word, they’re putting their eggs in the stablecoin basket."- Roger Huang Today we bring on Roger Huang, author of "Would Mao Hold Bitcoin," in a fascinating conversation that spans the intricacies of China's surveillance state, the role Bitcoin played in resistance struggles around the world, the implications of central bank digital currencies, the stablecoin war, and the potential for bitcoin to become a global reserve currency.

    Read_848 - Stop Calling it MEV

    "Sadly, there has been very little in the way of a clear definition of MEV in the context of Bitcoin. And the standard definition of the term is so broad as to be entirely useless in discussions of protocol risk."— BlueMatt  As Bitcoin becomes increasingly expressive, does it risk sacrificing its core value of censorship resistance? Can the concept of Miner Extractable Value (MEV) be redefined to distinguish between its broad, unavoidable forms and the more insidious "MEVil" that threatens decentralization? Join us as we delve into Matt Corallo's thought-provoking article "Stop Calling it MEV" and explore the implications of MEV on Bitcoin's future.

    Read_847 - This is the Great Ravine

    "I’m not asking you to fight the Beast of Big Politics, Big Tech and Big Media. Honestly I don’t know how you would. This is the end of an age, the _fin de siecle_, the period of time where the Beast is strongest because it is everywhere and invisible all at once. Big Politics, Big Tech and Big Media _are_ the water in which we swim. We are totally immersed in the co​mmon knowledge​ that the enemy is the Other Party, and until that com​mon knowledge is weakened substantially, any direct challenge to the Beast is a suicide mission. A noble suicide mission, like charging a fascist machine gun nest in the Spanish Civil War, but a suicide mission all the same." — Ben Hunt   Today we dive into an important and sobering piece. A brilliantly written one that will challenge you to reflect on something we have all been a part of, and that we attempt to be honest and see how we have been pulled into a dangerous feedback loop that will send us to a place we don't want to be. If you end up only listening to a few episodes of the show that strike interest from the title and description... don't let this be one that gets skipped.   Check out the original article and other links at:This is the Great Ravine - Epsilon Theory (Link: https://www.epsilontheory.com/this-is-the-great-ravine/)Epsilon Theory on X (Link: https://x.com/EpsilonTheory)   Host Links ⁠Guy on Nostr ⁠(Link: http://tinyurl.com/2xc96ney) ⁠Guy on X ⁠(Link: https://twitter.com/theguyswann) Guy on Instagram (Link: https://www.instagram.com/theguyswann) Guy on TikTok (Link: https://www.tiktok.com/@theguyswann) Guy on YouTube (Link: https://www.youtube.com/@theguyswann) ⁠Bitcoin Audible on X⁠ (Link: https://twitter.com/BitcoinAudible) The Guy Swann Network Broadcast Room on Keet (Link: https://tinyurl.com/3na6v839) Check out our awesome sponsors!

Social justice shoots up. Transgenderism shoots up. White privilege shoots up. This was forced on the American people. Why are we having these conversations now? The people did not wake up one day and decide we want to have a national conversation about chicks with dicks. That didn't happen. This wasn't an organic movement. It was all of the most powerful people decided this is what we're going to talk about, and why was that? Look, when you're failing on policy, you pivot to a culture war. You pit people against each other, so they're fighting each other. We had, in this country, we had an occupied Wall Street movement where leftists were standing outside of big banks, screaming, "We are the 99 percent." Rig...

    Read_846 - Three Strangest Paradoxes of Mathematics

    "Sometimes your gut feelings lead you astray—particularly in mathematics, in which one constantly comes across results that seem impossible... There are also many scenarios that appear contradictory at first glance (or second or third). These paradoxes can be explained, however. They are not errors but rather reminders that we should not rely too heavily on our intuition in mathematics."-Manon Bischoff What if our intuition can trick us when it comes to understanding complex and interactive systems? What happens when our worldview is challenged by seemingly contradictory ideas? In this episode, we explore three mind-bending paradoxes in mathematics and examine how they can help us better understand the nuances of Bitcoin and the world around us.
