The Transformation of Value with Cody Ellingham – Details, episodes & analysis

Andrew M. Bailey is a Professor and co-author of Resistance Money: A Philosophical case for Bitcoin.

We discuss the book’s approach to communicating the idea of Bitcoin from a global perspective, providing strong arguments for Bitcoin’s value as a net good for the world.

We also talk about the history of political philosophy and how ideas spread as well as the new interdisciplinary Bitcoin Research Institute at the University of Wyoming where Andrew will be taking on a role as Professor of Philosophy.

In this episode I catchup with Dr. Simon Collins.

We discuss some new research that Simon has contributed to in his new affiliation with the Digital Assets Research Institute along with the Satoshi Action Fund, providing academic insight for measuring and understanding Bitcoin adoption.

We talk about the next steps for Simon’s Bitcoin mining company, Stackr, as they look to expand their operations in some exciting new directions internationally.

Finally we discuss Lightning Pay, which is creating an amazing merchant payment system, and which offers the fastest and most cost-effective exchange experiences for buying Bitcoin in New Zealand.

This episode is a release of the “Bitcoin in New Zealand” live panel talk in collaboration with Bitkiwi at their event at Dux Central in Christchurch, July 20, 2024. 

We had three awesome guests, James Viggiano, Brad Henderson, and Andrew Wells.

There are some great Bitcoin projects happening in New Zealand and I’m excited for the future. A big thank you to everyone who attended the event, it was great to catchup in person and for me to get back home for a little bit.

I talk with Bitkiwi Paul, co-organiser of Bitkiwi, New Zealand’s premier Bitcoin events. 

We talk about quite a few things: minimalism in what we own, the work of Art in the Age of AI, meaning making and the role of sports in the nation state, all seen through a Bitcoin lens.

I am glad to share that I will be back in New Zealand soon and will be at the Bitkiwi 10 event on Saturday July 20th in Christchurch. As part of the event I will be hosting a panel talk about the Future of Bitcoin in New Zealand with some great guests. 

If you will be around come join us, the event is free and open to all and you can even buy your drinks with Bitcoin.

I talk with G Sovereignty, a Bitcoiner based in Hong Kong and developing applications on Nostr as well as host of the Nostrovia Podcast.

We talk about a presentation that G gave titled Bitcoin vs. The State: Four Phases of War, exploring the power dynamics of Bitcoin, its security model, and the steps that the state may enact as it begins to comprehend the true implications of Bitcoin upon its exorbitant privileges. 

We also discuss the future of Bitcoin-powered economies and what these might look like.

I do recommend you check out G’s video presentation in the show notes if you get the chance, its only about 15 minutes, but I found it very insightful.

We talk about the State as a predator in the ecosystem of humanity as well as the importance of cleaning up your house and building social capital and communities, especially when times get tough.
