"That dogma was necessary — without it the people who have built this ecosystem into what it is today wouldn’t have had the motivation to do so. Without that dogma, those people would not have had customers and users to build anything for in the first place. It was the foundation of everything we have around us today. Now the inevitable is happening: the foundation is cracking." ~ Shinobi Guy Swan delves into an article by Shinobi from Bitcoin Magazine, exploring the complexities of ideological dogmas within the Bitcoin community. The episode questions the sustainability of foundational beliefs that have driven the cryptocurrency's ecosystem thus far. What happens when the dogmatic pillars that supported the growth of Bitcoin begin to crumble? Tune in as Guy Swan offers a deep dive into these evolving controversies, providing insights that challenge the conventional wisdom of Bitcoin's invulnerability to ideological shifts.

"On the face of it, Bitcoin’s existence seems to violate Mises’s theorem, unless a preceding non-monetary use can be demonstrated. That is, Bitcoin would have to be first valued for its direct utility before it could hold indirect exchange value. So have the criteria been met, or does Bitcoin violate the theorem?" - Emile Phaneuf You've inevitably come across the argument that Bitcoin violates Mises's Regression Theorem if you've been in bitcoin long enough, but is this really true? And with the obvious and undeniable emergence of Bitcoin, what can this tell us about Mises's observation, and how it applies with the dynamics of the digital age?"

"Hedgehog uses relative time locks. So that if they don't have to worry about closing that channel with a relative time lock, it's whenever you do close the channel, now you've got 2016 blocks to sweep the money using the pre-image. Otherwise I can sweep it after those 2016 blocks go by... And because it only uses relative time locks, it's much more delay tolerant... In the Lightning Network today, you've got hours to settle these things. And often if someone sends a zap to somebody and then they turn off their computer or turn off their phone and go to the supermarket or whatever, they come back and their channel's been forced closed because it's not very delay tolerant. It only gives you hours. But the Hedgehog Network can give you months." ~ Super Testnet In this episode, I dive into the challenging yet fascinating topic of offline payments with my guest, Super Testnet. Super Testnet, a seasoned independent freelance software developer, shares his latest venture into solving some of the Lightning Network's most persistent challenges through a new protocol called Hedgehog. We discuss the technical nitty-gritty of Lightning transactions, the innovative approach of revocable scripts, and how Hedgehog might just change the game for Lightning Network payments.The conversation covers the mechanics of the Lightning Network, the complexities of conducting seamless transactions without both parties being continuously online, and the promising solutions Hedgehog proposes. Additionally, we touch upon BitVM, delving into its development, functionality, and potential impact on the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.If you are interested in understanding the technical foundations of Bitcoin's second-layer solutions and the cutting-edge developments aimed at refining digital transactions for enhanced efficiency, security, and ease of use, then this one's for you.

"It's going up forever, Laura." ~ Michael Saylor I know to many people that sounds crazy, and I can still see in my mind why it sounds crazy. Today, I'm going to make the argument for why it isn't crazy, but both natural and intuitive. Also, why it *doesn't* mean what you are probably picturing in your head. I'm going to make the case today, and I hope that you walk away realizing that this isn't unrealistic at all, but is the way it's *supposed to work,* that Bitcoin is, in fact, going up forever, Laura.

"People that are in the Western world and specifically in the United States, what they're realizing, whether they can say it this way or not, is you're watching the end of an empire. I said this for a long time, and it's not the empire is going to collapse. The empire is collapsing right now. We are in the midst of, and people say economic collapse, it's empire collapse, which means economic is part of it." ~ Jack Spirko In this episode I interview Jack Spirko, host of The Survival Podcast, delving into the intersection of self-reliance, Bitcoin, and navigating the complexities of modern society.We explore the significance of preparedness in the digital age, the evolution of Bitcoin and its role in fostering financial autonomy, and discuss practical strategies for building a self-sufficient lifestyle amidst the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

"As I see it, humanity is at a turning point where we must either embrace a small handful of totalitarian super intelligences or move AI to the edge, allowing a wide diversity of machine intelligences to flourish in cooperation with an equally diverse set of human intelligences, forming a truly decentralized hivemind. Fortunately, there’s mounting evidence that open source models will be the ultimate winners." ~Hivemind Ventures Our read from HiveMind Ventures today argues that the future of AI development hinges on embracing open-source models and decentralization to counteract the monopolistic tendencies of large corporations and governments. What if we already have the tools and foundations to create a genuine decentralized hivemind of human and artificial intelligences that change how we organize and progress. What if these tools are right under our nose, today? Would you want to know what they are? Check out the original article at How (Actually) Open AI Wins.

"We know the law is unconstitutional. FinCEN knows the law is unconstitutional. FinCEN knows we know the law is unconstitutional. And yet we're supposed to pretend like nothing happened and comply with an illegal law." ~ Jameson Lopp What do we do when a regulatory agency continues to enforce an illegal law against a judicial verdict? Jameson Lopp explores the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), revealing how it mandates extensive reporting to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, compromising individual privacy and security under the guise of legal compliance. How does this act, despite being challenged for its constitutionality, reflect broader tensions between privacy rights and government surveillance in the digital age?

"You have to decide how to move forward. You have to decide what game you want to play; how much responsibility you are willing to shoulder. Do you want to stay stuck in the machine? A machine that uses and abuses you? A machine that feeds itself by extracting and devouring your time, attention, and value? Or do you have the courage to take control of your wealth, health, thoughts, and speech?" ~ DerGigi Free speech is a non-negotiable foundation for society and human progress, as the open exchange of ideas allows us to productively clash perspectives and arrive at truth. Free speech and societal evolution are inextricably linked, our discussion today underscores how critical unrestricted discourse is to confronting humanity's most complex problems.

Guy Swann and Preston Pysh explore the dramatic shifts in global finance and the pivotal role of Bitcoin amidst rising inflation and the banking sector's vulnerabilities. They discuss how Bitcoin's growing influence could recalibrate financial power dynamics, offering a stark contrast to traditional economic mechanisms prone to manipulation and control. How might Bitcoin's ascent challenge the existing financial order and catalyze a shift towards more decentralized, resilient economic structures?
