Colin Harper is the editor-in-chief at Blockspace Media. In this interview, we discuss Bitcoin conferences and journalism, the evolution of Bitcoin culture, ossification, Nostr and the degradation of political discourse. “Bitcoin will not scale with all of these things being on-chain, it’s just not going to happen; you’re going to have anchors to financial institutions and other things that hold your coins for you…it may seem kinda bleak but I don’t see how you get away from that future.” — Colin Harper SHOW NOTES: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/the-bitcoin-evolution THIS EPISODE’S SPONSORS: IREN - https://www.iren.com/ Swan - https://swan.com/ Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ Casa - https://casa.io/ CheatCode - https://www.cheatcode.co.uk/ Ledn - https://ledn.io/ Xapo Bank - https://www.xapobank.com/en SUPPORT THE SHOW: → Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Subscribe & leave a review on Apple Podcasts → Drop us a line on hello@whatbitcoindid.com SUPPORT BITCOIN → Donate to OpenSats https://opensats.org/ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 Conferences; Trump; travel 00:20:42 Media & Bitcoin journalism 00:29:26 Truth, lies, & government; Bitcoin culture evolution 00:40:45 Ossification stalemate; nostr; nuclear 00:50:47 Inflation; Trump vs elites? 01:01:02 UK, NK, Russia, & Trump 01:07:59 US unrest?; mining update WHERE TO FIND THE SHOW: → Our website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/ → Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2OOlzVV → Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2ygc4W1 → YouTube: https://bit.ly/3nyi9Ez → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Fountain: tinyurl.com/43rdtnyd WHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Twitter: https://twitter.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Instagram: http://instagram.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatbitcoindid/ → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/whatbitcoindidpodcast → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/ → Email list: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/subscribe/ #Bitcoin #Finance #Money #Crypto #Economics

Dylan LeClair is the Director of Bitcoin Strategy at MetaPlanet and Senior Market Analyst at Bitcoin Magazine Pro. In this interview, we discuss Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin strategy, and how they are implementing this at Metaplanet. “Proof of work is the distinction, the difficulty adjustment combined with absolute scarcity makes Bitcoin different than everything else; this is not a crypto play, this is not a digital asset play, this is a Bitcoin play, and Metaplanet is going to use every tool in the toolkit to acquire more bitcoin.” — Dylan LeClair SHOW NOTES: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/microstrategy-metaplanet-real-bedford THIS EPISODE’S SPONSORS: IREN - https://www.iren.com/ Swan - https://swan.com/ Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ Casa - https://casa.io/ CheatCode - https://www.cheatcode.co.uk/ Ledn - https://ledn.io/ Xapo Bank - https://www.xapobank.com/en SUPPORT THE SHOW: → Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Subscribe & leave a review on Apple Podcasts → Drop us a line on hello@whatbitcoindid.com SUPPORT BITCOIN → Donate to OpenSats https://opensats.org/ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:11:50 The Saylor strategy 00:21:04 Debt trade; hodl vs dividends 00:33:45 Fiat folly vs Bitcoin cheatcode 00:52:33 Metaplanet strategy WHERE TO FIND THE SHOW: → Our website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/ → Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2OOlzVV → Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2ygc4W1 → YouTube: https://bit.ly/3nyi9Ez → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Fountain: tinyurl.com/43rdtnyd WHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Twitter: https://twitter.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Instagram: http://instagram.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatbitcoindid/ → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/whatbitcoindidpodcast → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/ → Email list: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/subscribe/ #Bitcoin #Finance #Money #Crypto #Economics

American HODL is an OG Bitcoin investor and Erik Cason is a cypherpunk and author of Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin. In this interview, we discuss the transcendent orange political movement, re-forging the American meritocracy, and Bitcoin reformation vs revolution. “There’s a mechanism of horror and death that our money directionally contributes to, and we have no democratic processes to actually resist it, and furthermore, when we do try to resist it we’re criminalised…and to me that’s what Bitcoin has always represented is that I can actually say ‘no’ now; and, yeah, maybe they can lock me up or do whatever they want, but they can’t have my money.” — Erik Cason SHOW NOTES: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-reformation-or-revolution THIS EPISODE’S SPONSORS: IREN - https://www.iren.com/ Swan - https://swan.com/ Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ Casa - https://casa.io/ CheatCode - https://www.cheatcode.co.uk/ Ledn - https://ledn.io/ Xapo Bank - https://www.xapobank.com/en SUPPORT THE SHOW: → Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Subscribe & leave a review on Apple Podcasts → Drop us a line on hello@whatbitcoindid.com SUPPORT BITCOIN → Donate to OpenSats https://opensats.org/ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 Raising kids for a Bitcoin world 00:06:54 The parasitic system; education 00:15:05 Crypto-marxist cargo cult malaise 00:28:35 Re-forging American meritocracy 00:39:04 War, greed, ‘capitalism’, & code 00:48:46 Bitcoin reformation vs revolution 01:06:28 Corruption vs the orange party WHERE TO FIND THE SHOW: → Our website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/ → Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2OOlzVV → Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2ygc4W1 → YouTube: https://bit.ly/3nyi9Ez → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Fountain: tinyurl.com/43rdtnyd WHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Twitter: https://twitter.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Instagram: http://instagram.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatbitcoindid/ → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/whatbitcoindidpodcast → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/ → Email list: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/subscribe/ #Bitcoin #Finance #Money #Crypto #Economics

Lyn Alden is a macroeconomist, investment strategist and General Partner at Ego Death Capital. In this interview, we discuss the unwinding of the Japan carry trade, the Fed cutting interest rates, how broken money leads to social unrest and what all of this means for Bitcoin. “It’s much harder to have debates over fiscal policy than it is to have over social war stuff. So, when the fiscal policy or just the overall economic situation gets messier, fewer people are able to articulate it. So, they’re articulated in more visible ways, more social ways. That’s where a lot of that anger gets expressed.” — Lyn Alden SHOW NOTES: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/lyn-alden-on-japans-unwinding-us-recession-social-unrest THIS EPISODE’S SPONSORS: IREN - https://www.iren.com/ Swan - https://swan.com/ Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ Casa - https://casa.io/ CheatCode - https://www.cheatcode.co.uk/ Ledn - https://ledn.io/ Xapo Bank - https://www.xapobank.com/en SUPPORT THE SHOW: → Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Subscribe & leave a review on Apple Podcasts → Drop us a line on hello@whatbitcoindid.com SUPPORT BITCOIN → Donate to OpenSats https://opensats.org/ 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:21 The Japan carry trade & deleveraging 00:10:01 Japanese intervention & interest rates 00:15:19 Is Japan’s economy breaking? 00:20:29 The rotation to emerging markets 00:26:00 Will the Fed cut interest rates 00:33:22 How broken money can lead to social unrest 00:44:45 Broken money, broken media, broken politics 00:46:49 What does this mean for Bitcoin?

In this episode we discuss their book Resistance Money and the global net-benefits of Bitcoin. “When asking a question like this…it’s tempting to replace it with the question ‘is Bitcoin good for me?’, and then you’re off to bag-pumping or bag-dumping; so what we tried to do here is to give a bit more precision to the question: ‘is Bitcoin good for the world?’” — Andrew Bailey SHOW NOTES: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/resistance-money THIS EPISODE’S SPONSORS: IREN - https://www.iren.com/ Swan - https://swan.com/ Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ Casa - https://casa.io/ CheatCode - https://www.cheatcode.co.uk/ Ledn - https://ledn.io/ Xapo Bank - https://www.xapobank.com/en SUPPORT THE SHOW: → Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Subscribe & leave a review on Apple Podcasts → Drop us a line on hello@whatbitcoindid.com SUPPORT BITCOIN → Donate to OpenSats https://opensats.org/ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:58 Peer-reviewed Bitcoin book 00:16:17 Bitcoin’s global net benefits 00:26:23 Slowly understanding Bitcoin 00:34:36 Wealth disparity; PoW vs PoS 00:45:47 Bitcoin changes us?; negatives? 00:55:57 Improving Bitcoin?; AI WHERE TO FIND THE SHOW: → Our website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/ → Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2OOlzVV → Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2ygc4W1 → YouTube: https://bit.ly/3nyi9Ez → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Fountain: tinyurl.com/43rdtnyd WHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Twitter: https://twitter.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Instagram: http://instagram.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatbitcoindid/ → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/whatbitcoindidpodcast → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/ → Email list: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/subscribe/ #Bitcoin #Finance #Money #Crypto #Economics

Eric Yakes is the Managing Partner at Epoch and the Author of The 7th Property: Bitcoin and the Monetary Revolution. In this interview, we discuss the economic theory of marginalism, how this translates to Bitcoin, Bitcoin adoption cycles and the challenges of investing in Bitcoin companies. “Once the majority of the world owns Bitcoin as store of value then the fundamental monetary property of acceptability is going to be very easy to achieve, and then all of a sudden medium of exchange is going to start happening overnight.” — Eric Yakes SHOW NOTES: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-marginalism THIS EPISODE’S SPONSORS: IREN - https://www.iren.com/ Swan - https://swan.com/ Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ Casa - https://casa.io/ CheatCode - https://www.cheatcode.co.uk/ Ledn - https://ledn.io/ Xapo Bank - https://www.xapobank.com/en SUPPORT THE SHOW: → Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Subscribe & leave a review on Apple Podcasts → Drop us a line on hello@whatbitcoindid.com SUPPORT BITCOIN → Donate to OpenSats https://opensats.org/ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:07:15 Marginalism & value theory 00:19:10 Bitcoin marginalism & action 00:26:46 Framework for value 00:35:34 Adoption & subtle onramps 00:43:33 Adoption vs capital allocation WHERE TO FIND THE SHOW: → Our website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/ → Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2OOlzVV → Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2ygc4W1 → YouTube: https://bit.ly/3nyi9Ez → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Fountain: tinyurl.com/43rdtnyd WHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Twitter: https://twitter.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Instagram: http://instagram.com/whatbitcoindid/ → Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatbitcoindid/ → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/whatbitcoindidpodcast → Rumble: http://tinyurl.com/rumblewbd → Website: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/ → Email list: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/subscribe/ #Bitcoin #Finance #Money #Crypto #Economics
