"Unlike Paypal, Venmo, or traditional payment processors, it cannot deplatform you for wrongthink, holding subversive political views, being a sex worker, or legally selling cannabis. Ours is the biggest possible tent. Don’t be distracted by the online discourse. Bitcoin is utterly indifferent to the political views of its users."  - Nic Carter Getting close to finishing the amazing collection of articles in The Bitcoin Times Ed 2, and today we need another great one, by returning author Nic Carter, titled - The Cat is Out of the Bag.

"It is therefore a universal truth that all work has a measurable cost of energy transformation due to the very nature of the universe, and the laws of thermodynamics.

"Prices are the coordinating force of a free market system. Each individual decision-maker can rely on the prices of goods and services to help with their decision making, as the prices themselves are a distillation of all known market information into a single metric."  - Dan Held This is one of those articles that just explores the emergent brilliance of the free market system & easily got me into a near 40 minute rant afterward. Prices are not arbitrary, and a market price is quite possibly the most information dense piece of actionable data you can find anywhere. Learn all about it, in this piece from The Bitcoin Times Ed 2, "The Information Theory of Money."

“Gold, the ancient and prevailing monetary sovereignty layer (representing an unmanipulable money supply), and the internet, the ultimate engine of exchange (representing global interconnectivity or liquidity). By combining and building upon the economic properties of both, Bitcoin is a momentous monetary innovation that has achieved the divisibility, portability, durability, and recognizability of pure information infused with the absolute scarcity of time.” - Robert Breedlove Don’t miss the continuing journey through The Bitcoin Times 2nd Ed, with Breedlove’s excellent piece, “Bitcoin & the Tyranny of Time Scarcity” Drop some applause on this article by following the link below, and don’t forget to check out @timelessBitcoin and @breedlove22 on Twitter for more work like this one. https://medium.com/the-bitcoin-times/bitcoin-and-the-tyranny-of-time-scarcity-1d1550dfd8b0 Other works discussed in the commentary: • Knut Svanholm's "Sovereignty Through Mathematics"   Part 1 - https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/CryptoQuikRead_308---Sovereignty-Through-Mathematics---Part-1-Knut-Svanholm-e7tak7 Part 2 - https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/CryptoQuikRead_309---Sovereignty-Through-Mathematics---Part-2-Knut-Svanholm-e7vgr1 Part 3 - https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/CryptoQuikRead_310---Sovereignty-Through-Mathematics---Part-3-Knut-Svanholm-e8198t Part 4 - https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/CryptoQuikRead_311---Sovereignty-Through-Mathematics---Part-4-Knut-Svanholm-e851te Part 5 - https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/CryptoQuikRead_312---Sovereignty-Through-Mathematics---Part-5-Knut-Svanholm-e86lbt • Parker Lewis's "Bitcoin Can't Be Copied" https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/CryptoQuikRead_291---Bitcoin-Cant-Be-Copied-Parker-Lewis-e58g11 • Hayek's "Use of Knowledge in Society" Part 1 - https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/CryptoQuikRead_250---Use-of-Knowledge-in-Society-Part-1---F--A--Hayek-e43pfj Part 2 - https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/CryptoQuikRead_251---Use-of-Knowledge-in-Society-Part-2---F--A--Hayek-e444k0 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitcoinaudible/message

"To provide broader context, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan and the European Central bank have collectively created $10 trillion dollars-worth of new money since the financial crisis, the equivalent of approximately $500,000 per bitcoin. Despite dollars, euro, yen and bitcoin all being digital, bitcoin is the only medium that is tangibly scarce and the only one with inherent monetary properties."  - Parker Lewis Continuing the awesome Gradually, then Suddenly series on the Unchained Capital Blog, we hit today's read, Bitcoin is Not Backed by Nothing.

A most profound aspect of Bitcoin is that we know, with certainty, what the monetary policy will be no matter how far we look into the future. If we choose to secure sound money for the world, then we have to establish the important markets, build the tools and protocols, and most importantly make the tough decisions *now, * instead of kicking the can down the road. Following the first era, this required a change with how we used this incredible resource.  And just like last time, we will have to change again. The Third Era will come with yet another Bitcoin civil war. Are we preparing for that future, or are we complacent in the present? A new recording with some fresh commentary, we read a great piece that I totally forgot I had already covered on the show, but that deserves a second round anyway, Rusty Russell's "The Three Economic Eras of Bitcoin" https://medium.com/@rusty_lightning/the-three-economic-eras-of-bitcoin-d43bf0cf058a https://twitter.com/rusty_twit --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitcoinaudible/message
