On today's episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Adam B. Levine, Jonathan Mohan and Stephanie Murphy as they explore the idea of users jumping straight into bitcoin's third layer (That's Bitcoin - Layer 1, Lightning Network - Layer 2, Applications built on top of Lightning Network that go beyond payments - Layer 3). We also get into the very cool and growing trend of using the Lightning Network to stream messages and money to podcasts that are streaming content back to you.

On today's episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Adam B. Levine, Jonathan Mohan and Stephanie Murphy as they dive into the growing topic of inflation. Our modern world is increasingly divided; The currently dominant narrative asserts that Modern Monetary Theory (MMT, or "Financial Scatology" as Jonathan likes to call it) is a free ticket to a better tomorrow... On the other hand, there are those who believe that money is just one of many measurements of reality. And increasingly those metrics have been corrupted to keep the party going and avoid at all costs blame falling on those responsible. In this episode, the hosts dig in deep for a sobering yet real conversation about what's going on and where all of this is headed.

This time on Speaking of Bitcoin, correspondent George Frankly presents his third installment in the Dare to be Stupid series.
On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin join Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine as we dive into two new stories perfectly illustrating the oppressive, silly, modern mania that surrounds us all. First we dig into the intense fervor surrounding recent comments by the always controversial Elon Musk. After the break we dig into the recent explosion of Dogeclones and how Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin probably picked the least-worst option available.

This time on Speaking of Bitcoin, correspondent George Frankly presents his second installment in the Dare to be Stupid series.
On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin we’re digging into the growing sense of mania. Across all asset and social classes money is on everybody’s mind: Whether you’ve got a lot of it and don’t know where to put it or you need a lot of it and can’t get access to it, times are strange and it’s no accident.
This time hosts Stephanie Murphy, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine discuss the modern manias and what they could mean for our future.
