CryptoQuikRead_324 - Bitcoin Fixes This [Parker Lewis] Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

**An economy leveraged 150:1
A spiraling tower of debts to pay for our previous debts
Central Banks repeating the same policies that caused our problems as their solutions
The confiscation through counterfeit of $Trillions in economic production
Massive distortions of the price mechanism
& monetary authorities who argue over not whether they should, but by how much they will debase our hard earned money

Bitcoin Fixes This.**

Part 6 in the Gradually, Then Suddenly series by Parker Lewis from the Unchained Capital blog.

CryptoQuikRead_323 - Transaction Count is an Inferior Measure [Nic Carter] Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

To think of the value of a global, jurisdiction-less, "money-for-enemies" network as nothing more than the result of how many transactions it can do on the base layer, is to miss the point entirely. The difference between the payments systems and settlement systems of the world, their degree of assurances, and the desirable characteristics of their operation are often diametrically opposed. Listen to another of Nic Carter's excellent pieces to learn all about how "Transaction Count is an Inferior Measure."

Check out the original post (great charts illustrating his argument) on Nic's Medium page, plus the tons of other great written content he publishes regularly:

The Bitcoin Reformation - by Tuur Demeester Nov 22, 2019

Show notes

INTRODUCTION

At the end of the 16th century, a rag tag group of rebel intellectuals and entrepreneurs founded a country on some of the least desirable land in Europe—so often flooded that it needed hundreds of miles of moats - while fighting an eighty year long war against the largest empire in the world.

From this struggle and melting pot of ideas emerged the Dutch and British golden ages, innovative economic institutions that changed the world, as well as one of America’s most successful socio-economic experiments: New York City.

This report makes the case that the 21st century emergence of bitcoin, encryption, the internet, and millennials are more than just trends; they herald a wave of change that exhibits similar dynamics as the 16-17th century revolution that took place in Europe.
