CryptoQuikRead_315 - Blockchain is Dead - The Bitcoin Times Vol 1 - Part 1 [Aleksandar Svetski] Nov 06, 2019

Show notes

**"When people get up and begin to talk to me about how they’re going to use the blockchain to solve supply chain, or whatever other (mostly ridiculous) idea they have, it reminds of someone who just discovered that limestone aggregate in concrete makes for better strength and better overall properties in concrete; so they then apply it to everything else:
• They put some limestone in their green smoothie
• On their avocado and toast
• In their latte
• As a back rub on their partner’s skin
• And even as fuel in their car"

**- The Bitcoin Times, Vol 1

Jumping into a 2 part covering of the first edition of The Bitcoin Times by Aleksandar Svetski and the team over at Amber. "Blockchain is Dead!" - but what is blockchain? Isn't it a breakthrough innovation that can be applied to a plethora of important data sources all around the world? Listen to find out more!

For more awesome content, be sure to follow Aleksandar on Twitter, check out the Amber app for simple Bitcoin buying, & see the awesome visual setup of "The Bitcoin Times" over at https://bitcointimes.news/

Show notes

The author of the incredible work we covered last week, Bitcoin: Sovereignty Through Mathematics, joins us on the show today to talk all about the foundations of his thinking, what sovereignty really means, why we should question our monetary priests, whether we are living in an Orwellian nightmare, or the new renaissance, human inability to understand complex systems, the gullible collective, & why we should all be more "posimistic."

CryptoQuikRead_313 - Who Secures Bitcoin? [John Carvalho] Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

Is it the miners? The developers? The nodes? Who really defines Bitcoin, who establishes the rules that make it immutable, secures it against unwanted change, and determines the protocol that distinguish a random integer, from a true Bitcoin integer?

A great piece by John Carvalho. One of the most succinct explanations on defining Bitcoin without any unnecessary technical confusion. A necessity for the Cryptoconomy Audio Library, and a wonderful follow up to the recent BTC vs BSV debate on the Hotep Jesus show.
