| The Problem with Bitcoin Magazine and the Bitcoin Asia Conference with Brad Loewen | 20 May 2024 | 01:01:48 | |
I speak with Brad Loewen, host of Beyond the Price, exploring Bitcoin adoption in East Asia. Brad and I both attended the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong recently, organised by BTC Inc, the same company behind Bitcoin Miami, Bitcoin Amsterdam, Bitcoin Magazine, along with their investment arm UTXO Management. Now it was clear that there would be some ordinal-related discussions at the conference which I wanted to verify for myself, however I was not expecting the sheer degree of emphasis on these, as well as the overall VC, compliance & KYC, public mining, and financial services direction of the conference. As we explore, I have come to question BTC Inc's motivations, their choice of sponsors and programming, and their commitment to Bitcoin as freedom and privacy tech. Bitcoin is resilient and anti-fragile, but I can’t help but wonder if this conference and the so-called Bitcoin Magazine are not part of a broader attack that uses the affinity of the Bitcoin brand to nullify the ongoing imperative for sound money, self-custody, decentralisation, and self-sovereignty. 🎉 Use discount code TTOV to get 10% off your BTC Prague tickets! https://btcprague.com/?promo_id=19708&key=8847c7d6a512fc3cbdb9abf3d64045d9 --- Connect with The Transformation of Value X: https://x.com/TTOVpodcast Nostr at: npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu Or send an email to hello@thetransformationofvalue.com and I will get back to you! --- Support The Transformation of Value: Bitcoin tip address: bc1qlfcr2v73tntt6wvyp2yu064egvyeery6xtwy8t Lightning tip address: codyellingham@fountain.fm If you send a tip please email or DM me so I can thank you! --- Links: Beyond the Price Podcast by Brad Loewen - https://beyondtheprice.substack.com/podcast Brad Loewen on X - https://x.com/bradjpn | |||

| The Economic Violence of the New Zealand State and the RBNZ with Ben Jarvie | 29 Apr 2024 | 01:10:38 | |
I catch up again with Ben Jarvie a writer and kiwi Bitcoiner working for Amber App, a Bitcoin-only exchange. We talk about Ben’s recent travels to El Salvador and Madeira, and we reflect on the declining situation of my beloved home country, New Zealand, and in particular the economic violence that the State and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand continues to unleash upon the people through its egregious manipulation of the money. But that said, we know that Bitcoin fixes this, and we are here to build bridges and meet people where they are at! --- Connect with The Transformation of Value X: https://x.com/TTOVpodcast Nostr at: npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu Or send an email to hello@thetransformationofvalue.com and I will get back to you! --- Support The Transformation of Value: Bitcoin tip address: bc1qlfcr2v73tntt6wvyp2yu064egvyeery6xtwy8t Lightning tip address: codyellingham@fountain.fm If you send a tip please email or DM me so I can thank you! --- Links: Previous episode with Ben - https://www.thetransformationofvalue.com/episodes/maori-sovereignty-and-self-determination-through-bitcoin-with-ben-jarvie Amber App - https://amber.app/ Reserve Bank considers the digital dollar: 'NZ's money must innovate to stay relevant' - https://archive.md/wip/QLHtP The Crypto Sovereignty Project by Erik Cason - https://cryptosovereignty.org/ NZ On Nostr - https://primal.net/p/npub1fvzm7pn3p0hjxkdvsdlc2lyjew02xhsnsr9pw2pj9f4zzas0gjxs3er9hy The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell - https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/588138 BIP 85 deterministic entropy info - https://bip85.com/ King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Robert L.

| Simplicity: Bitcoin’s Last Soft Fork? With Christian Lewe of Blockstream Research | 01 Apr 2024 | 01:07:02 | |
In this episode I talk with Christian Lewe from Blockstream Research. Christian is working on Simplicity, a more robust programming language designed as an alternative to Bitcoin Script. To own Bitcoin is to be able to spend it, and the way we currently do this is with Bitcoin Script which has challenges and limitations that means it can be very unforgiving to work with, and it limits more complex transactions and arrangements because you cannot formally verify what will actually happen. Simplicity seeks to fix this. The project that has been in the works for over ten years and has been described by Adam Back as “the last soft fork”. There is some technical nuance to this statement, but as Christian shares, enabling simplicity could bypass a lot of the contentious soft fork discussions about things like covenants as this functionality is possible with Simplicity. We talk about the proof of work and low time preference of Simplicity, as well as the plans to launch on the Liquid testnet and mainnet to validate the project through actual financial use before an eventual proposal to bring it into Bitcoin.

| Kōura Wealth KiwiSaver and Bitcoin with Rupert Carlyon | 24 Mar 2024 | 00:52:29 | |
I talk with Rupert Carlyon, Founder and Managing Director of Kōura Wealth KiwiSaver. KiwiSaver is the voluntary retirement savings scheme for New Zealand and Kōura Wealth offers a Carbon Neutral Crypto Fund KiwiSaver product, which is Bitcoin only. This is a way for everyday kiwis to get some kind of Bitcoin exposure with government and employer matched contributions and tax benefits. New Zealand was very late to the game with retirement savings schemes and the impact of this is beginning to be felt with very low savings, and old-age poverty issues. With all the talk about the Bitcoin ETFs globally, it is interesting to explore how traditional finance in New Zealand interfaces with Bitcoin, and the regulatory challenges they have had to overcome to get this product launched.

| Credit Theory of Money, Protecting Cash, and Bitcoin Critiques with Brett Scott | 19 Mar 2024 | 01:39:46 | |
In this episode I talk with Brett Scott, author of The Heretic’s Guide to Global Finance and Cloudmoney: Cash, Cards, Crypto and the War for our Wallets. He also runs the substack Altered States of Monetary Consciousness. Brett does a lot of work supporting the protection of physical cash, and I reached out to him about an article he wrote “The War On Informality” which explores the implication of financial surveillance by credit cards and private banks. This is a thought-provoking episode. We explore the Commodity Theory of Money vs Credit Theory of Money, power dynamics, the importance of cash, and more. Brett offers some interesting critiques of certain Bitcoin narratives and provides some alternative frameworks for looking at how money works. In particular the Credit Theory of Money sent me down some rabbit holes thinking about how money comes into being as a future obligation and how this theory would map on to Bitcoin, which has cemented my thoughts around the critical role of Bitcoin mining and energy use where the underlying Bitcoin and electrical power are both required to be spent to participate in the network (I hope to explore this in future episodes). Please have a listen and make up your own mind. Brett has been involved in the Bitcoin world for a long time and I think his arguments and critiques are worth interrogating.

| State, Money, and Pilgrimages with Andrew L. Wilson | 26 Feb 2024 | 01:19:29 | |
Andrew L. Wilson is an Author and Professor of History of Christianity as well as host of The Disentanglement Podcast, exploring privacy tech and the surveillance state. We discuss in detail severals books about the origin of the state and money, including James C Scott’s, “Seeing Like A State”, Rees-Mogg and Davidson’s “The Sovereign Individual”, and David Graeber’s “Debt: The First 5,000 Years”. We discover some interesting parallels between the unconfiscatable nature of Bitcoin and the origins of state power with its ability to tax easily countable grain crops versus something like a potato which grows underground. We also talk about the history of the printing press as it relates to inflation within the church, and Andrew's personal proof of work undertaking a 1000-mile pilgrimage in the footsteps of Martin Luther from Germany to Rome.

| The Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s Money Printer with James Viggiano | 19 Feb 2024 | 01:22:41 | |
I talk with James Viggiano about recent comments made by the Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Not soon after we spoke, James shared a clip that went viral of the governor talking frankly about the exorbitant privilege of money printing that the central banks and governments have. James and I talk about some of the game theory from the perspective of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to defend the Kiwi Dollar and their attempts to talk down inflation, and shift the narrative even as the cost of living crisis continues. We also talk about the opportunity for what New Zealand could look like on a Bitcoin standard and how that could interface with the legacy financial system.

| On Hyperbitcoinisation, Game Theory, and Faith with Dash | 04 Feb 2024 | 01:19:15 | |
I talk with Dash of the Tokyo Citadel Builders Podcast & Community. We dive deep into some of the game theory and scenarios that Bitcoin and hyperbitcoinisation presents, as well as what the broader economic landscape may look like in the future. Just as the internet has become far more than merely digital version of letters and newspapers, Bitcoin may not just be digital money as we know it, but an entirely new paradigm of value transfer and wealth storage that is difficult to fathom while we still exist within the current system. Thus it is important to broach these ideas and have creative discussions to try and paint a picture of what may come to pass. I also talk with Dash about the role of faith, and purpose and meaning more broadly in these trying and changing times.

| Bitcoin Adoption by Nation States with Prince Filip of Serbia | 28 Jan 2024 | 01:23:36 | |
In this episode I talk with Prince Filip of Serbia, a prominent Bitcoiner, and Chief Strategy Officer at Jan3. We talk about Prince Filip's work at Jan3 engaging in high-level conversations about Bitcoin with nation-state leaders as well as his thoughts on monarchy, democracy, and culture. We discuss the role of Bitcoin and sound money and the chance presented for smaller countries such as Serbia and New Zealand to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. I also extend an invitation to Prince Filip and the Jan3 team to come visit and help spread awareness about what Bitcoin could mean for New Zealand, in particular its connection to energy and infrastructure.

| Reserve Bank of New Zealand & Inflation with Don Brash | 29 Aug 2024 | 01:08:54 | |
Don Brash was the former Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand from 1988 until 2002. Don was also a Member of Parliament, and leader of the New Zealand National Party. We discuss Don’s work at the Reserve Bank, which came at a pivotal time alongside the economic reforms of the late 80s. Don shares the history of the famous 0 - 2% inflation target that he helped implement, and we talk more broadly about the state’s understanding of inflation, its causes, and the role of Central Banking. We go on to talk about Don’s current focus looking at both the geopolitical situation New Zealand faces in-between the US and China, as well as his work with Hobson’s pledge looking at democracy issues closer to home. --- Connect with The Transformation of Value Nostr at: npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu Or send an email to hello@thetransformationofvalue.com and I will get back to you! --- Support The Transformation of Value: Bitcoin tip address: bc1qlfcr2v73tntt6wvyp2yu064egvyeery6xtwy8t If you send a tip please email or DM me so I can thank you! --- Links: Don Brash Website - https://www.donbrash.com/ Incredible Luck, Don Brash Autobiography - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22036999-incredible-luck Hobson's Pledge - https://www.hobsonspledge.nz/ "Revolution" TV series on New Zealand from 1970s-1990s - https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/revolution-1996/series The Arrogance of Power by William Fulbright - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1355548.The_Arrogance_of_Power Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning by Liz Cheney - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/134156069-oath-and-honor Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap? by Graham Allison - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31125556-destined-for-war The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy—What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America's Next Rendezvous with Destiny by William Strauss , Neil Howe - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/670089.The_Fourth_Turning On China by Henry Kissinger - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9328314-on-china Please note: James (Jim) Holt is the economist Don Brash mentions who inspired the policies of 1980s New Zealand. | |||

| Reflections on Self-Sovereignty and Self-Development with Bitkiwi Paul | 22 Dec 2023 | 00:57:15 | |
I talk with Bitkiwi Paul, co-organiser of the Bitkiwi Meetup Events. We are coming up to the end of the year and it is a good time to think about what has come to pass and spend time with family and friends. Bitcoin is just a bit of code, some words, a computer network, but for many people it can be a catalyst for profound personal change. Looking at health, introspection, self-development, and a reassessment of ones role in the community and in life. You can call it meaning making or finding purpose, but there is something about the idea of Bitcoin that is powerful, and I do hope you enjoy this exploration with Paul.

In today’s episode I talk with Nathan Seiuli, Outreach and Events Coordinator at the Free Speech Union in New Zealand. Over the past few years, it’s become evident that many New Zealanders are both unaware of how vital freedom of speech is, and how dangerous some of the moves are to exclude its protections. We talk about the work the Free Speech Union is doing in New Zealand, including campaigns to promote debate and critical thinking in schools, providing feedback and advice to government, and calling out actions that infringe upon freedom of speech. We also talk about how technology such as Bitcoin and Nostr can provide protection for Freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

| Czech Communism, Gypsies, Bitcoin Art, and Climbing Mountains with Zed | 03 Nov 2023 | 01:15:25 | |
In today’s episode I talk with Zed, a Bitcoiner originally from the Czech Republic, but now living in Wellington, New Zealand, where he organises a Local Bitcoin meetup. We dive into Zed’s story, leaving the Czech Republic to go to London around the time of the occupy movement where he first discovered Bitcoin. We talk about Bitcoin art and the role of popular culture in sharing new ways of thinking, as well as the cultural background that Zed brings to Bitcoin, having being born into a communist system. We also talk about how people such as the Gypsies of Europe or the New Zealand Māori represent a different kind of relationship to the state that we can learn a lot from.

| Swiss Bitcoin Pay and Point of Sale Payment Solutions with Jimmy Djabali | 26 Oct 2023 | 00:39:24 | |
I talk with Jimmy Djabali of Swiss Bitcoin Pay, an app for easily accepting Bitcoin payments at point of sale. This is an important area of development, and unfortunately there are still not that many solutions out there for making accepting Bitcoin as a business easy. Swiss Bitcoin Pay seeks to fix this with a simple interface that is suitable for shops, restaurants, or any kind of customer-facing business. Jimmy shares how the project came about and his vision for it, as well as the Bitcoin merchant situation in Switzerland including the city of Lugano which has over 300 merchants accepting Bitcoin already. Finally, if you want to learn about some of the Bitcoin payment solutions that are suitable for kiwi businesses check out the community project myself and a few others have created at acceptbitcoin.nz.

| Building the Social Layer of Bitcoin in New Zealand with Bitkiwi Paul | 20 Oct 2023 | 00:58:25 | |
I talk with Bitkiwi Paul about the next Bitkiwi meetup that is happening on Saturday October 28th in Auckland. We also discuss the social layer of Bitcoin in New Zealand and how it has grown enormously over the last 12 months. This time last year I didn’t really know any Bitcoiners in person, but here we are with a thriving community of Bitcoin projects, businesses, and collaborations that I am involved in, and I know there are many others out there doing the same. A lot of Proof of Work has gone into building on Bitcoin over the last few years and that is going to be important as more and more people start finding and learning about Bitcoin. Bitkiwi VII Saturday October 28th, 2pm @ Brothers Beer in Mt Eden, Auckland.

| Overview of Eltoo, Covenants, and Vaults on Bitcoin with Rob Clarkson | 13 Oct 2023 | 01:20:05 | |
I talk with Rob Clarkson about scaling Bitcoin’s Layer 2 Lightning protocol, and how changes happen to Bitcoin more generally. Rob provides a technical introduction to some of the proposals such as ELTOO, APO, CTV, and we talk a bit about what covenants and vaults mean in Bitcoin. Now I am still trying to work a lot of this out for myself and Rob does well to break it down and explain it. Even though these are quite advanced topics I think it is important to have the discussion and work together to understand what proposed changes to Bitcoin might mean and what the dangers and opportunities are.
