    Read_855 - The Great Capitulation

    "Panic is rising. Bitcoin, the way out of their giant Ponzi scheme, does not want to die, but the survival of the fiat system depends on the lack of an alternative. The entire system is therefore in danger." — Alexandre Stachtchenko The ECB is at is again with a new, 20 page "research" paper on the economic dangers of a possible future in which Bitcoin survives. Yes it's just another pile of drivel from the same authors who have decried Bitcoin as a useless, empty bubble destined for a quick and embarrassing death. Yet the embarrassment seems to turn the other way when the bubble still doesn't pop, and Bitcoin still doesn't die. Despite the obvious intellectual dishonesty permeated throughout the paper, is there a more fundamental capitulation in their framing? Have they actually conceded something critical despite their careful attempt to show no signs of any possible benefit to Bitcoin whatever? Is there a sense of panic in their words?

    Take_094 - Focus

    "Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing."— Ron Swanson Focus. Easily spoken, hard to live by. There are many lessons that Bitcoin teaches, and one that is more clearly true the older I get, is that every single thing in a trade off. And not just solutions, or tools, or networks, but the very thing that you spend your time thinking about, at the expense of all other things. What dreams you spend your time building, at the expense of all other dreams. What new ideas you begin, at the expense of what you've already started, and not yet finished. Its time for an overdue change, and today I wanted to share my thoughts, how we got here, and what to expect in the future.

    "There is no justice in following unjust laws. It's time to come into the light and in the grand tradition of civil disobedience declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture. We need to take information wherever it is stored make our copies and share them with the world. We need to take stuff that's out of copyright and add it to the archive. We need to buy secret databases and put them on the web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks. We need to fight for guerrilla openaccess." — Aaron Swartz What happens when the pursuit of knowledge and information is restricted by those in power? Can the free flow of ideas be considered a moral imperative, and what are the consequences for those who dare to challenge the status quo? In this episode, we explore the Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto and the story of Aaron Swartz, a pioneer in the fight for open access to information.

    "Once you understand the economic situation of the United States and how they're in a debt spiral, there's only one way out of it and it's to turn the money printer on so that they can inflate. Once you understand that that's their incentive, their incentive is not to spend money efficiently, it's to pump more dollars into the system, and any excuse they can use to do that, they're gonna take it... and a disaster is the perfect opportunity."~Jordan What happens when disaster strikes and the traditional systems of aid and support fail? Can decentralized networks and technologies like Bitcoin and mesh networks fill the gap and provide a more effective response?

    "How could any financial system avoid being captured by those who already hold the most power and wealth? Won’t it just lead to the same unequal system again, only in a new form?” you might ask. The answer is as simple as it is powerful."— Petter Englund Will a Bitcoin-based economy simply perpetuate the same inequalities as our current system with the same elite dominating, or does it offer a fundamentally different paradigm? Can a system based on sound money actually reduce the influence of the wealthy and powerful, and incentivize the creation of real value? Dive into this thought-provoking article and Guy's rant to follow, as we explore the potential of Bitcoin to radically transform our economic landscape.

    Chat_117 - Bitcoin Threat Vectors on Final Settlement

    In this previous episode of Final Settlement, I joined the show to tackle custodial threat vectors and the security challenges unique to Bitcoin. We discussed Bitcoin as apolitical money and its role as a digital bearer instrument, which brings with it the complex issue of secure custody. I shared insights from a recent personal security incident when my room was broken into at a Bitcoin conference in Lugano, underscoring the very real risks we face. We explored the evolution of Bitcoin custody, the importance of multisig setups, and the approach of Onramp’s Multi-Institution Custody in mitigating custodial threats. Raising awareness about these risks is essential, and this conversation offered important takeaways for anyone looking to secure their Bitcoin. It’s a crucial discussion worth revisiting as the industry continues to grow.

    "The server owns your data, owns your account, and owns the cryptographic keys used to secure it. That last bit is obscure, but important. Cryptographic keys are how we enforce security, privacy, ownership, and control in software. Not your keys, not your data."— Gordon Brander What is the key to achieving true freedom and autonomy in our digital lives? We have tried so many times and continue to learn lessons as the natural progression of networks reconsolidates around a central entity or oligopoly that soon turns from providing a service, to exerting its power. Why does this happen and how do we prevent it? Is it inevitable, or are we watching the slow evolution and failing to simply see the clear path it is leading us toward? Today we dive into a fantastic article by Gordon Brander on the evolution of networks, and the emergence of Nostr. **Check out the original article at Nature's many attempts to evolve a Nostr.
