    Bitcoin Core Projects with Fabian Jahr and Gloria Zhao SLP607

    Fabian Jahr and Gloria Zhao rejoin me to discuss whether big projects can be done inside Bitcoin core. We delve into AssumeUTXO, ASMap, developer funding, and meritocracy in the developer community. Summary In this episode, Stephan discusses the upcoming Bitcoin Core version 28, its new features, and the ongoing development efforts with Fabian and Gloria. They delve into the pace of change within Bitcoin Core, the importance of communication and collaboration in software development, and the challenges faced by developers in getting projects approved. The conversation also covers the AssumeUTXO project, its implications for node operation, and the significance of funding and competing implementations in the Bitcoin ecosystem. The episode concludes with insights into future projects and the collaborative nature of Bitcoin development. Takeaways Bitcoin Core version 28 introduces exciting new features. The development process involves both small bug fixes and significant changes. Communication and collaboration are essential for project success. AssumeUTXO allows for quicker node synchronization. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin development presents unique challenges. Funding can influence project focus but should not dictate it.

    Bitcoin: The Great Absorber of Liquidity with Dr. Jeff Ross SLP606

    After a long and choppy bull-crab market, Dr. Ross notes that the bull market is here! Dr. Jeff Ross, founder, Vailshire Capital Management, joins me to discuss the ongoing sentiment in the markets, global liquidity, pitfalls and opportunities of this bull cycle, holistic living and more! Summary In this conversation, Dr. Jeff Ross discusses his transition from a bearish to a bullish outlook on Bitcoin and the broader market, emphasizing the importance of liquidity and central bank policies. He explains how liquidity flows impact asset prices, particularly Bitcoin, and outlines his predictions for economic growth and market behavior in the coming years. The discussion also touches on wealth inequality, the role of Bitcoin in addressing economic disparities, and strategies for investors, including the controversial 8% withdrawal rate for Bitcoin holders. Takeaways Liquidity is the key driver of asset prices. The transition from bear to bull markets is influenced by liquidity flows. Central banks play a significant role in market dynamics. Bitcoin is seen as a solution to wealth inequality. The US dollar remains the strongest currency despite global challenges. High liquidity environments lead to increased risk-taking behavior. Investors should consider Bitcoin as a significant part of their portfolio. Timing the market can be beneficial for fund managers but not for regular investors. The 8% withdrawal rate is reasonable for Bitcoin holders. Future economic growth may surprise - to the upside.

    Bitcoin Custody & Proof of Reserves with Alexander Leishman SLP604

    With growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin through custodians, investors will demand transparency through ‘Proof of Reserves’. Alexander Leishman, CEO & CTO, River joins me to discuss more of the institutional adoption of Bitcoin, Coinbase’s hesitation towards Proof of Reserves, US Govt. debt and more. Summary In this episode of the Stephan Livera podcast, host Stephan speaks with Alex Leishman, CEO and CTO of River, about various topics surrounding Bitcoin, including the current state of exchanges like Coinbase, the importance of proof of reserves, and the growing adoption of Bitcoin among businesses. They discuss the implications of stablecoins, the comparison between Bitcoin and gold, and the future of Bitcoin technology. Alex emphasizes the need for transparency in the industry and the importance of maintaining a solid foundation for Bitcoin's development. Takeaways Coinbase likely has the coins they claim, but proof is needed. Proof of reserves should include liabilities for full transparency. Bitcoin adoption is growing among businesses of all sizes. Stablecoins serve as a necessary tool for many users. The future of Bitcoin as a store of value is promising. Gold's historical significance may not hold against Bitcoin's advantages. Self-custody remains a challenge for many Bitcoin users. Bitcoin technology is evolving, focusing on reliability and security. The political landscape may influence Bitcoin's regulatory environment. Community education is crucial for fostering trust in custodians. Timestamps: (00:00) - Intro (00:34) - Does Coinbase hold all the Bitcoin they claim to?

    The Power of Political Decentralization with Ryan McMaken SLP603

    Secession may seem like a dirty word, but it has happened many times in history and it’s worth understanding the political and economic benefits it can yield. Ryan McMaken, Executive Editor and Economist at the Mises Institute joins me to discuss his book, Breaking Away.  Summary In this conversation, Stephan and Ryan McMaken discuss the topic of secession and its advantages. They explore the historical and theoretical context of secession, highlighting the benefits of radical decentralization and the success of small, economically prosperous states.  They also examine the conditions that enable breakaway states, including economic factors, military power, and ethnic or nationalistic identity. The conversation emphasizes the need for people to come to terms with the reality that the federal government cannot offer long-term economic prosperity and that unity does not necessarily mean shared values or interests.  The conversation explores the challenges and potential solutions related to secession and breakaway movements. It discusses the negotiation process for exiting a larger government entity, the impact on national debt and pension obligations, and the historical examples of successful secession.  The conversation also touches on the Brexit movement and the potential for secession movements in the United States. It emphasizes the importance of developing competing elites at the state level and gradually asserting more local control over policies and resources. Takeaways Radical decentralization and the success of small, economically prosperous states are key advantages of secession. Breakaway states often emerge when the benefits of political unity no longer outweigh the benefits of separation. Conditions that enable secession include economic factors, military power, and ethnic or nationalistic identity. The federal government cannot guarantee long-term economic prosperity, and unity does not necessarily mean shared values or interests. Secession and breakaway movements require careful negotiation, especially regarding national debt and pension obligations. Historical examples show that debt write-downs and negotiations are common in secession processes. Brexit can be seen as a failure or a missed opportunity, depending on one's perspective. Competing elites at the state level can challenge the entrenched interests of the federal government. Gradual steps, such as asserting control over border policy and creating state-level institutions, can pave the way for secession. Developing local revenue sources is crucial to reduce reliance on federal funds and assert more autonomy. Timestamps: (00:00) - Intro (01:00) - What is Secession and why care about it?(05:25) - Why has the number of countries tripled since WW2?(09:00) - Why be Pro-secession?

    Bitcoin Product Market Fit For Savings with Pierre Rochard SLP602

    My friend Pierre Rochard (VP Research at Riot Platforms) rejoins me on the show to discuss some of his latest views. Summary In this conversation, Stephan and Pierre discuss the concept of long-term savings in Bitcoin and its product-market fit. Pierre introduces a metric for measuring long-term savings by looking at the age of UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs). They also explore the idea of rebalancing and the importance of aligning financial decisions with personal goals. The conversation then shifts to the challenges of running a profitable business in a Bitcoin standard and the role of passive index equity investing in a hyper Bitcoinized world. Further, Pierre and Stephan discuss the implications of individuals and governments holding Bitcoin. They explore the idea of investing time in Bitcoin rather than just money, and how businesses can leverage Bitcoin without large capital investments. They also touch on the moral implications of educating others about Bitcoin and the potential cultural changes that may occur on a Bitcoin standard. The conversation concludes with a discussion on government adoption of Bitcoin and the impact it may have on society. Takeaways Bitcoin has found product-market fit in the area of long-term savings, as evidenced by the increasing number of UTXOs that have not moved in more than a year. The age of Bitcoin UTXOs can provide insights into the behavior of hodlers and the overall health of the Bitcoin network. Rebalancing should be driven by personal goals and values, rather than trying to time the market or follow others' advice. In a Bitcoin standard, it may be challenging for businesses to outperform Bitcoin in terms of returns, but there may still be a role for active investing and supporting entrepreneurial ventures. Passive index equity investing may become less prevalent in a hyper Bitcoinized world, as individuals prioritize holding Bitcoin and investing in businesses they are actively involved in. Investing time in Bitcoin can be just as valuable as investing money. Businesses can leverage Bitcoin without large capital investments. Educating others about Bitcoin is important, but it's not necessary to force people onto the Bitcoin journey. Cultural changes on a Bitcoin standard may include a shift towards lower time preference and more focus on family and spirituality. Government adoption of Bitcoin can move them away from being a state and towards a more decentralized entity. The amount of Bitcoin a government holds should be based on their immediate needs and the uncertainty of the future. Government adoption of Bitcoin can accelerate Bitcoin adoption among individuals. The moral implications of the government holding Bitcoin depend on whether it leads to the violation of the non-aggression principle. Taxation with Bitcoin becomes more difficult, which may lead to a reduction in government spending. Advocating for a strategic reserve of Bitcoin can lead to more conversations and ultimately more Bitcoin adoption.

    Can Lightning Liquidity Be Solved with Liquid? With Tankred Hase SLP601

    Tankred Hase has experience working with various Bitcoin and Lightning companies such as Lightning Labs and Swan previously. He joins me to talk about Bitcoin, Lightning and Liquid. We discuss some of the real world challenges and trade offs that builders and developers face, as well as the likely path forward from here. Summary Tankred discusses the current state of Bitcoin, Lightning, and Liquid development. He highlights the progress made in terms of user experience and liquidity. However, he also acknowledges the challenges that still need to be addressed, such as capital gains taxes, technical hurdles, and the need for more user-friendly solutions. Tankred emphasizes the importance of having multiple options for using Bitcoin as money, including custodial solutions, Liquid, and trust-minimized solutions like Fedimint. He also discusses the trade-offs involved in designing user-friendly Bitcoin and Lightning apps. Tankred and Stephan discuss the different trade-offs and options available in the Bitcoin ecosystem, particularly in the context of Lightning Network and Liquid. They highlight that while some Bitcoin enthusiasts prioritize non-custodial and pure Bitcoin solutions, many users, especially in regions like Dubai, Turkey, and South America, opt for custodial exchanges like Binance for their convenience. Tankred introduces StashPay, a solution that leverages the Breeze SDK and Liquid to offer lower fees for receiving payments. They also discuss the future of Lightning, including broader adoption of Bolt 12, asynchronous payments, and improved privacy for receivers. Takeaways Bitcoin and Lightning have made significant progress in terms of user experience and liquidity. There are still challenges to be addressed, such as capital gains taxes and technical hurdles. Having multiple options for using Bitcoin as money, including custodial solutions, Liquid, and trust-minimized solutions, is important for broader adoption. Designing user-friendly Bitcoin and Lightning apps requires making trade-offs and understanding the needs of different user populations. Users in the Bitcoin ecosystem have different preferences and priorities when it comes to trade-offs and options. Custodial exchanges like Binance are popular for their convenience, even among Bitcoin enthusiasts. StashPay, using the Breeze SDK and Liquid, offers a solution with lower fees for receiving payments. The future of Lightning includes broader adoption of Bolt 12, asynchronous payments, and improved privacy for receivers.

    Full Reserve vs "Real Bills" with Philipp Bagus - SLP600

    Philipp Bagus rejoins me to discuss his newest book, ‘Full Reserve Banking versus The Real Bills Doctrine’. This is his response to Juan Ramón Rallo, and in it we discuss: 🔸 The currency school and the banking school 🔸The problem of ‘double availability’  🔸Why the creation of fiduciary media is a problem 🔸The correct categorization of goods and money 🔸Full Reserve in a Bitcoin world?  🔸Milei’s work in Argentina Summary: In this conversation, Stephan interviews Dr. Philipp Bagus about the full reserve banking versus the real bills doctrine. They discuss:  The importance of the fractional reserve banking system and its impact on the monetary system and society as a whole.  The historical context of the currency school versus the banking school debate in the 19th century.  The concept of double availability and its implications for the stability of the money supply. The real bills doctrine and its justification for fractional reserve banking. The categorization issues surrounding money and financial assets.  In this conversation, Philipp Bagus discusses the flaws of fractional reserve banking and the importance of understanding the distinction between stock and flow of savings. He explains that holding fiduciary media, such as government bonds, does not count as real savings because it involves credit transactions and does not free up consumer goods. Bagus also explores the potential for banking systems to evolve on top of Bitcoin, highlighting the need for full reserves and the importance of legal enforcement to prevent fraud. He concludes by discussing the economic and political challenges faced by Argentina's President Javier Milei. Takeaways: Fractional reserve banking, where banks create new money out of thin air, is a major problem in the monetary system and has far-reaching ramifications. The debate between full reserve banking and fractional reserve banking has historical roots and has been a topic of discussion among Austrian economists. The concept of double availability is crucial in understanding the distinction between loans and deposits, and the potential for credit expansion and business cycles. The real bills doctrine, which justifies fractional reserve banking, is based on the idea that banks can issue short-term loans backed by goods, but it fails to address the inherent problems of credit expansion. Money is not a financial asset, but a present good that facilitates exchange and reduces uncertainty. It is distinct from financial assets and should be categorized separately. Understanding the distinction between stock and flow of savings is crucial in evaluating the flaws of fractional reserve banking. Holding fiduciary media, such as government bonds, does not count as real savings because it involves credit transactions and does not free up consumer goods. The evolution of banking systems on top of Bitcoin should prioritize full reserves and legal enforcement to prevent fraud. President Javier Milei of Argentina faces economic and political challenges in his efforts to reform the country's monetary system.
