Read_856 - It's the Settlement Assurances Stupid 27 Nov 202401:31:00

"This is also an interesting case study in how Bitcoin resists duplication. You can create something which looks cosmetically similar to Bitcoin, but you cannot replicate the settlement assurances which derive from the costliness of the ledger."
— Nic Carter


A correction needs to be made. Thanks to a great thread by Anilsaidso, with a list of fundamental pieces in Bitcoin in order to grasp a deeper understanding, Bitcoin Audible had audio of all of them in the feed, except one. While I'm certain I have the audio somewhere, its time to get it back in the feed with a brilliant piece explaining one of the most misunderstood elements of Bitcoin, the value it provides, and why nothing else competes. There is no second best, and this will help to understand why. It's the Settlement Assurances, Stupid, by Nic Carter.

Guy's Take_093 - The Guy Who Broke into Our Room in Lugano 30 Oct 202401:35:04

Was a recent break-in at a luxurious hotel just a coincidence, or a targeted attack on a Bitcoiner? We should expect that bitcoiners will be targeted. If not by governments, then simply by thieves, scammers, and opportunists. This is something that my brother and I learned very acutely with our trip to Lugano and the Plan B conference, where a man broke into our hotel room presumably to get access to our devices or steal any valuables we may have been traveling with, and we caught him in the act. This episode is a lesson in preparedness, complacency, and hopefully a wake up call to those who think things will be smooth sailing. Don't be one who has to learn the truth the hard way.

Read_804 - The Past, Present, & Future of Offline Payments 28 Feb 202401:03:01

"It might feel as if the promised future is perpetually out of reach, but building Lightning is a lot like climbing a mountain. Climbers never really see the summit until they’re standing on top of it. They often can’t even see over the next ridge. Planning the ascent is important, but most of the time you’re simply concentrating on the next foothold. But the steps add up. Just like the view from the top is the reward for all that effort, a brighter monetary future will be our reward for building the network bit by bit."

~ Roy Sheinfeld


Today we dive into a short read covering an interesting technical challenge, but touches on a hint of truth that makes for a fascinating commentary to follow. It is easy to get lost and see where Bitcoin's potential hasn't lived up to impossible promises, but its critical that we not lose sight of where we have come from. To have a perspective rooted in reality weighing our progress from where we actually came, not lost in a foolish expectation and comparing to a falsely remembered past. Let's dive into a great little piece from Roy Sheinfeld, CEO at Breez.

Read_803 - Inflation in a HyperBitcoinized World 27 Feb 202400:41:47

"Izzy said there could be inflation in a hyperbitcoinized world. And she's right. Calm down, maxis, calm down! Explaining why this is true sheds light on yet another of Bitcoin’s quasi-magical properties and paints our hyperbitcoinized future an even rosier shade of orange. This is good for Bitcoin."

~ Allen Farrington


This may seem crazy, heretical even, but inflation can occur in a hyperbitcoinized world. How could that possibly be? When there's only ever 21 million BTC? Is this nothing but fiat nonsense, or does it clarify an important distinction while at the same time revealing the absurdity of a major keynesian economic model? Listen to Allen Farrington's 2021 piece on the topic today to find out.

Read_802 - How Inflation Destroys Civilization 21 Feb 202400:58:29

"The foregoing considerations are by no means an exhaustive account of the cultural and spiritual legacy of fiat inflation. But they should suffice to substantiate the main point: that fiat inflaiton is a powerhouse of social, economic, cultural, and spiritual destruction."


Fiat inflation is more than a hidden tax on everyday folks—it's the fuel for the worst parts of our system, feeding both the war monster overseas and a creeping police state at home. It fosters a culture where impulsive, harmful choices are rewarded, punishing those who live sensibly and plan for tomorrow. It's a thief that strips us of our wealth, our values, and our spirit. Dive into today's must-read from Jorg Guido Hulsmann at the Mises Institute, and see the society rotting symptoms of the fiat disease.

Read_801 - To Dust You Shall Return 19 Feb 202400:44:19

"During the peak transaction fee times over the past month, our example transaction would be dust even for .001 BTC. That’s a little less than $50 at current market conditions. This feels incredible. 100,000 sats suddenly turned into dust. Gone. Unusable. This is terrifying."

Have you analyzed your bitcoin balances and transactions to know where you stand? Have you consolidated your weekly purchases? Don't let your bitcoin turn to dust, listen to today's episode to learn how to protect yourself.
