Bitcoin Audible

"The government is more than half of the economy. They control everything. What this new battleground is showing is that in the Bitcoin world, within the Bitcoin environment, they're going to have to Samourai Wallet every one of us to get that money, which means it's not going to work. There's either going to be a revolution or society goes from a quiet fraud of 60% of our wealth to guns and whips stealing 60% of our wealth. That second one is not sustainable." - Guy Swann In this episode of the Bitcoin Audible podcast, I’m excited to share my conversation from the Swan Signal podcast. Sam and I dive headfirst into the hidden truths behind money hoarding and the insidious effects of inflation on our society. We peel back the layers on how these economic forces shape our daily lives, often in ways we don’t even realize. We also discuss why we celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day - an iconic moment in Bitcoin history that symbolizes so much more than just a couple of pizzas - and much more. This episode is a deep dive into the forces that drive our financial world and how Bitcoin stands as a beacon of hope in the midst of it all. It’s an episode that will challenge what you think you know about money and inflation.

"The government and the corporate environment so desperately want us to centralize so they can they can have total surveillance and they can have backdoors into everybody's stuff. They're abusive and everything, but not everything's imploded yet. And that continues on. But we continue in this trajectory until at some point, the some little thing breaks or somebody actually makes a concerted effort to land an attack. And just because it's so clear that we are so vulnerable, and we realize that we have committed suicide. We have set up all of the tools and all of the environment necessary for someone else to absolutely obliterate us. And we did it because we just wanted to spy on everybody's $600 transactions." ~ Guy Swann What drives a Bitcoiner to dive deep into the world of decentralized finance and privacy-focused tools? Join me in this episode as I sit down with Daniel Prince to explore the intersections of Bitcoin, privacy, and personal freedom, discussing everything from the power of homeschooling to the future of digital sovereignty. Could these tools and philosophies be the key to unlocking a truly decentralized future?

"My thinking is always resilience. How did I make Proton resilient? And the conclusion I came to after thinking about it for a long time is actually the best way to be resilient is to enable the entire Proton community of 100 million people to very, very easily adopt Bitcoin, which is a form of money that's outside of centralized control." ~ Andy Yen* In this episode of Bitcoin Audible, we dive into a fascinating conversation with Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, uncovering the intriguing story of how Proton's origins are deeply intertwined with Bitcoin. Discover how this privacy-focused company is challenging the norms by integrating Bitcoin into its ecosystem and offering a non-custodial wallet service.

"Historically, what do nations do when they're on a gold standard and they need to fight a war? They just suspend the gold standard. The difference is that what Bitcoin brings is this decentralization, where if you were truly on a Bitcoin standard, someone in Washington, D.C. couldn't just say, "We're going off the Bitcoin standard now." That's the power that Bitcoin has, that you can actually have a chance at separating money and the state, and that is the most important thing in the world to do." ~ Dave Smith In this episode of the Bitcoin Audible podcast, I'm releasing an insightful panel discussion from the Bitcoin 2024 event, where I was joined by three brilliant minds - Mark Moss, Luke Gromen, and Dave Smith.We dive deep into a crucial topic: the intersection of government overreach, fiscal irresponsibility, and Bitcoin's transformative potential. We explore how government control over money has fueled endless wars, cultural manipulation, and economic distortions. Our conversation delves into the ways Bitcoin, and its decentralized nature, might be the key to separating money from state control, leading us toward a future of fiscal responsibility and economic growth. Join us as we discuss the current landscape of government spending and debt, and how Bitcoin offers a crucial solution to these pressing issues.

"Something else has to go down in order for something to go up. That's why it is specifically a relative weight between all of these things... You can't just charge $100,000 dollars for something if nobody has that money, and then think that you're gonna sell it. You'll never can't sell it for that. You can't sell something for an amount of money that doesn't exist. Just look at the stock market.

"Only the giant corporations are gonna have this and anybody less than a billion dollars, these won't exist. And that was scary, I was like, this can undo what Bitcoin is doing unless we get ahead of this. Luckily I actually now think that despite the fact that there will elements of centralizing forces in AI, this will contribute more to the diseconomies of scale of the giant corporate setup and the government institutions in the sense that the bigger you are, the less it helps you." ~ Guy Swann I had the pleasure of chatting with Preston Pysh about the fascinating intersection of AI, Bitcoin, and identity. This conversation dives deep into the transformative potential of AI and its implications for the future of decentralized systems. We explore how AI can synthesize vast amounts of information and discuss why AI models might become a decentralizing force. We also delve into the incentives driving data accumulation and why starting AI models from scratch isn't the optimal approach. Additionally, I share my thoughts on Sam Altman's World Coin and the growing connection between identity and AI, including how to navigate this pairing. Finally, we touch on the necessity of immediate settlement for AI advancements. Tune in to explore these compelling topics and more!

"I really wanted to screen share stuff with people and make it as easy as possible and I got fed up. So I was just like, okay, you know, let's throw this up and let's stick on a nostr log in and let's add lightning zaps to it as a starting point. It was pushed out a bit prematurely, but... I think a lot of people want to use it.. they want a way to talk to other people where you're not really getting tracked. We want to be able to provide a space where people don't feel like there's some Googly eyes watching whatever they're talking about. And I don't want to know either... the way I think about this is if someone comes along and subpoenas penis that server, there's nothing there." ~ BitKarrot What if the future of the internet lies in decentralized, peer-to-peer technologies?

"You eliminate 99% of the attack surface to a single moment in time, which is the beginning. And when you do that, would-be attackers are forced to take risks and make mistakes. You know, when someone is planning on doing election fraud, this doesn't mean that it's impossible for them to do it. But it narrows the window so much that they are likely going to mess up. And when they mess up, you catch them." ~ Carlino When people usually talk about alternative bitcoin "utility" they often mean NFTs, trash tokens, and "jpegs on the blockchain." But what if there really is another utility, one that doesn't suffer the damaging externalities and is closer to the core of what the timechain really is? Could Bitcoin protect the integrity of national elections? Diving into groundbreaking case study from Guatemala, we explore this idea with Carlino.

"When you have a child, you care more than anyone else about that child. You're caring about their long-term success and happiness and their health.

It's not about critical thinking. It is conformity and compliance." ~ Tali & Scott* Can a board game teach Bitcoin better than a lecture?

"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.

What if everything we think about money is backwards? Money itself is completely useless, unless someone else is willing to trade for it. So if money isn’t real wealth, what is it actually?

"I believe that hole punch stack can be a really good alternative to static IPs. That way, for example, you want to access your camera from anywhere, you don't really need a static IP. You don't need to pay for that. You don't need to take all those security risks. All you need to do is boot up Holesail or a similar service built on Holepunch to connect peer to peer directly to your computer only to that specific port. That's it. You are connected to it. There are no middle men. And nothing is exposed to the public." In this episode, Guy Swann interviews Suryaansh Singh AKA Supersu about the transformative potential of peer-to-peer technology in reshaping how we connect and interact online, and how they are working to build towards this with Holesail. They delve into the challenges and innovations in deploying decentralized systems that enhance security and user control, discussing how such technologies can fundamentally alter the internet landscape towards a more user-empowered framework. How can peer-to-peer technology reconfigure our digital interactions and what are the broader implications for internet privacy and connectivity?

"We have the fork wars, we have a culture that understands the importance of nodes and widespread enforcement of a protocol and its rules. Unlike shitcoins, which couldn't care less about it... So this node orientation in Bitcoin is is critical to it not being a shitcoin. So spam has come in and they start trashing the blockchain and exploding the UTXO set and making every block almost four megabytes, which was supposed to be a theoretical maximum we were never actually supposed to see because no one thought we would just fill it up with witness data... This is a ridiculous guys. It's an attack. They've stated it as an attack when they came out and just went "I want to bloat the UTXO set because it's the worst thing you can do in Bitcoin." ~ Bitcoin Mechanic In this episode, I talk with Bitcoin Mechanic about the current state of Bitcoin, focusing on the regulatory environment, the vital role of self-custody, and the challenges facing privacy and autonomy in the digital age. We delve into the complexities of maintaining operational security in the face of increasing regulatory oversight, and consider in what ways we can balance the needs of miners with those of everyday users and node runners to maintain a healthy network ecosystem.

Most people don't realize that the most important and least understood aspect of why "their plan" is going to be a total failure, is refusing to recognize where it lies on the Give-A-Shit Matrix. If you don't know which quadrant you are in, then you have no idea what you are doing. If you want to know why society is falling apart, look no further...

"What are we actually about? It's to an extent an open question. It's not like the Cypherpunks knew at all. It's part of our job to continue to try and figure it out. In a way we've been given this Arthurian sword or something. This very powerful thing. And so it's like, what are we going to do with it? I think that's a big part of our homework." ~ Tuur Demeester Tuur Demeester joins us to day as we dig into Bitcoin's past halvings and market cycles and how they compare to today. With 12 years of perspective, where are we in reference to the larger trends and what may lie ahead in the coming future? Tuur is deeply knowledgeable on the macro landscape and in seeing how the pieces of the puzzle fit together, explains the differences that allow us to know that Bitcoin's destiny will not end up like gold's, and a worthy note, he is also incredibly bullish. The world is changing, and Bitcoin is changing it.

"People that are in the Western world and specifically in the United States, what they're realizing, whether they can say it this way or not, is you're watching the end of an empire. I said this for a long time, and it's not the empire is going to collapse. The empire is collapsing right now. We are in the midst of, and people say economic collapse, it's empire collapse, which means economic is part of it." ~ Jack Spirko In this episode I interview Jack Spirko, host of The Survival Podcast, delving into the intersection of self-reliance, Bitcoin, and navigating the complexities of modern society. We explore the significance of preparedness in the digital age, the evolution of Bitcoin and its role in fostering financial autonomy, and discuss practical strategies for building a self-sufficient lifestyle amidst the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

"As far as I'm concerned, there's no obvious increased danger from the CCP having control over our access or our information or even modifying the algorithm, than it is the alphabets of the world or the METAs of the world or the CIA or the FBI's of the world, like these people... as far as I'm concerned, the United States federal government is way more of an existential threat to me than the CCP. I'm domiciled here, they have the ability to fine and tax and sanction and imprison me for wrong think. That's a way more clear and present danger." ~ Clint Russell* The bill to ban Tiktok, the risks of legislative "solutions," blaming technology for cultural decay, the death of personal responsibility, the second wave of the banking crisis, the systemic problems of fractional reserve, and the possibility of a path out of all of this mess.

"Hedgehog uses relative time locks. So that if they don't have to worry about closing that channel with a relative time lock, it's whenever you do close the channel, now you've got 2016 blocks to sweep the money using the pre-image. Otherwise I can sweep it after those 2016 blocks go by... And because it only uses relative time locks, it's much more delay tolerant... In the Lightning Network today, you've got hours to settle these things. And often if someone sends a zap to somebody and then they turn off their computer or turn off their phone and go to the supermarket or whatever, they come back and their channel's been forced closed because it's not very delay tolerant. It only gives you hours. But the Hedgehog Network can give you months." ~ Super Testnet* In this episode, I dive into the challenging yet fascinating topic of offline payments with my guest, Super Testnet. Super Testnet, a seasoned independent freelance software developer, shares his latest venture into solving some of the Lightning Network's most persistent challenges through a new protocol called Hedgehog. We discuss the technical nitty-gritty of Lightning transactions, the innovative approach of revocable scripts, and how Hedgehog might just change the game for Lightning Network payments. The conversation covers the mechanics of the Lightning Network, the complexities of conducting seamless transactions without both parties being continuously online, and the promising solutions Hedgehog proposes. Additionally, we touch upon BitVM, delving into its development, functionality, and potential impact on the broader Bitcoin ecosystem. If you are interested in understanding the technical foundations of Bitcoin's second-layer solutions and the cutting-edge developments aimed at refining digital transactions for enhanced efficiency, security, and ease of use, then this one's for you.
