Read_433 - Bitcoin is One for All - Part 1 [Parker Lewis] Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

"By manipulating price levels, the Fed isn’t just preventing smaller intermittent fires from naturally running their course while creating larger fires down the road. Instead, think of the Fed’s actions as the arsonist that lights a fire, leaves through the back door in the middle of the night, and then is celebrated as the hero when it arrives through the front door to fight the fire with gasoline." - Parker Lewis

May the "Gradually, then Suddenly" series never stop!! Another fantastic piece from returning author Parker Lewis and the amazing Unchained Capital Blog. We read the first half of the latest in the series, "Bitcoin is One for All." The nature of prices, the nature of the Fed, the imbalances in the economy, the arsonist starting the fire, and the gasoline that makes the burn hot, fast, and impossible to stop. The very mandate of the Fed is antithetical to the nature of money. Find out why in this excellent new installment.

Read_432 - Discovering Bitcoin #6 - Digital Contracts [Giacomo Zucco] Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

"In Part 6 of this “Discovering Bitcoin” series, we will build on the idea of using digital puzzles as a way to reproduce scarcity, and on the importance of a supply-control mechanism to grant some hardness to digital money, to explore concepts of proving ownership through signatures and scripts, and the technique known as CoinJoin." - Giacomo Zucco

Masters & Slaves of Money - By Robert Breedlove Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

"Money is a tool for trading human time. Central banks, the modern-era masters of money, wield this tool as a weapon to steal time and inflict wealth inequality. History shows us that the corruption of monetary systems leads to moral decay, social collapse, and slavery. As the temptation to manipulate money has always proven to be too strong for mankind to resist, the only antidote for this poison is an incorruptible money — Bitcoin."
- Robert Breedlove

Read_431 - True Names Not Required [Gigi] Aug 20, 2020

Show notes

"We need to be able to disassociate from our identities to protect ourselves. We need the freedom to selectively reveal ourselves. We need the possibility to rally behind names, symbols, masks, and the ideas they represent — using transient identities and wearing masks ourselves if we have to. If identities are permanent and transparent, rebellion and revolution are impossible." - Gigi

A great piece from the epic blog over at Citadel21.com, by none other than Gigi, author of 21 Lessons. What is importance and impact of pseudonymity? Why should we be vigilant about the preservation of privacy in cyberspace? Find out in today's excellent read, "True Names Not Required"

Read_430 - Accepting Scarcity, A Bitcoin Meditation [Reed Wommack] Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

“ignorance or delusion is one of the three causes of our suffering (the other two are attachment and aversion). So when we are deluded about reality, we perpetuate suffering. When we are aware of reality as it is, we avoid suffering." - Reed Wommack

We read a piece today from the Swan Bitcoin blog that explores the very conceptual limits of infinity and how scarcity is integral to the very concept of reality. What doest his mean for our lives, for our happiness, and for the value we create? A Bitcoin Meditation.

Guy's Take - The Dominoes are Falling [#30] Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

“We find the global acceptance, brand recognition, ecosystem vitality, network dominance, architectural resilience, technical utility, and community ethos of Bitcoin to be persuasive evidence of its superiority as an asset class for those seeking a long-term store of value." - Michael Saylor

These are the words of the CEO of MicroStrategy, an enterprise analytics firm that has made a huge investment into Bitcoin, not truly as a speculative avenue, not as a small allocation in order to gain exposure to its potential upside, and protect from downside risk, and not as a means to provide a service for the industry or change their business strategy. They have purchased 21,424 bitcoins after an analysis of the global macro environment, the failing faith in the fiat financial system, and in seeking a long term store of value with significant growth potential.

They have looked at their treasury and compared their options, to either hold the mighty US dollar (the current global reserve currency) or Bitcoin (the most secure, independent digital currency) and have decided that the principal holding of their treasury reserves, would be safer in Bitcoin.

The Dominos are beginning to Fall

Read_428 - Discovering Bitcoin #4 - A Wrong Turn & A New Plan [Giacomo Zucco] Aug 12, 2020

Show notes

"While it was pretty difficult for him to take over the very decentralized process of people exchanging gold nuggets, there are now a few big, public, trusted, vulnerable entities he can easily seize control of." - Giacomo Zucco

Continuing the excellent series of Discovering Bitcoin, this is an awesome set of articles covering thousands of years of monetary history and evolution all the way to The Lightning Network. Today's part is "A Wrong Turn," breaking down the process of innovating money to solve the "scaleness" problem, that ended up putting at huge risk of control and corruption, the "hardness" and "darkness" of our money. Into the age of full virtualization, what could possibly solve this? Do we need a New Plan?

Read_427 - The Lightning Paradox [Alex B] Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

"The Jevons paradox is a staple of environmental economics used to describe how the introduction of more efficient technologies tends to increase the consumption of resources rather than decrease it." - Alex B.

Will Lightning steal fees from Bitcoin miners and threaten the security of Bitcoin into the future? Or will is be the aggregation layer that enables so many additional and higher value use cases for Bitcoin block space, that it may be the very thing necessary to enable the fee growth needed to sustain Bitcoin indefinitely? An excellent piece read today from Alex B…
