Read_402 - Human Rights Foundation Funds Bitcoin Privacy [Aaron Van Wirdum] Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

“At the moment, the Bitcoin network is improving but is far from as usable and private as it needs to be with authoritarianism and surveillance on the rise in many countries,” - Alex Gladstein

Another great piece by Aaron Van Wirdum made available at BitcoinMagazine.com, today it was announced that the Human Rights Foundation, a great force for liberty and privacy across the globe, has turned its focus toward directly funding Bitcoin privacy projects thanks to a generous gift from an anonymous donor. Starting with funding an implementation of an awesome privacy development called coinswap, and with another grant soon to be announced, the future of Bitcoin privacy is yet again, just a little bit brighter!

Read_401 - Financial Cryptography in 7 Layers [Ian Grigg] Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

"Financial Cryptography is substantially complex, requiring skills drawn from diverse and incompatible, or at least, unfriendly, disciplines. Caught between Central Banking and Cryptography, or between accountants and programmers, there is a grave danger that efforts to construct Financial Cryptography systems will simplify or omit critical disciplines." - Ian Grigg

Another blast from the past of 1998, written by Ian Grigg, made available at the NakamotoInstitute.org. An awesome attempt at looking forward to the possible layers and roles within a financial cryptography system, providing a fascinating comparison to Bitcoin and the reality of that system today.

Don’t miss tomorrow’s episode where we dig into the comparisons and expand on the many incredible foresights that Ian designed in his own model of our cryptographic future.

Chat_40 - ReInventing Bitcoin with Yan Pritzker Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

"As it turns out, we had money, we just weren't allowed to take it out of the country. When we left the Soviet Union we were allowed to exchange our rubles for dollars at the official rate (not the real rate)… so they gave us $100 worth and sent us on our way." - Yan Pritzker

Bitcoin isn't simply an application that can be used for finance. Less a technological breakthrough & more a monetary revolution. Today we chat with the exceptional author of "Inventing Bitcoin," CTO and co-founder of Swan Bitcoin & GiveBitcoin, and a Bitcoiner who has risked it all to be a part of the most important monetary revolution in a century. This chat is not to be missed!

Shout out in the episode to Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin, and Phil Geiger of Unchained Capital!

Read_399 - Bitcoin as a Startup [Hass McCook] May 30, 2020

Show notes

"VCs are a group of people demonized in the Bitcoin industry for not understanding Bitcoin’s value proposition. Well, how do you expect a VC to value Bitcoin if they’re only used to valuing startups?" - Hass McCook

A really fun article, followed by a walk down Bitcoin memory lane with Guy, giving a fresh analogy (you know how I love those) of Bitcoin as a startup moving through funding rounds. Where are we in the maturing cycle, and what will the focus of this and future eras be? Looking at Bitcoin's history and future through the lens of a startup!

Read_398 - The Political Theology of Bitcoin [Erik Cason] May 28, 2020

Show notes

“authority, not truth makes legitimacy… it is truth, not authority that makes legitimacy with Bitcoin.” - Erik Cason

Today we dive into a fascinating piece at cryptosovereignty.org by Erik Cason diving into the very concept of sovereignty, and how Bitcoin, in comparison to the legacy system, is not merely revolutionary, but messianic. Truth, not authority, is the only source of legitimacy.

Check out the original article with tons of other stuff to explore at the link below:

For another few hours diving into this idea, listen to the most recent Raleigh Bitcoin Podcast where we talk all about it:

Read_397 - How Lightning Will Grow Following BTC's 3rd Halving [Peter Chawaga] May 26, 2020

Show notes

“It’s going to be really interesting to replicate some of the token-based authentication schemes that we already have with centralized providers but do it with self-sovereign identity, which is pseudonymous and which is persistent across the network.” - Chris Dannen

An article by Peter Chawaga at BitcoinMagazine.com that touches on the many topics discussed during the Bitcoin Halving Livestream with many of the Lightning pioneers. With LSATs, keysend, LN messaging apps, and the new infrastructure layer for monetary applications. The future is bright, and today's episode is a great little morsel about what it to come.
