Hell Money

This week Casey and Erin break down how the Bitcoin Lightning Network works using craft supplies. Channels, preimages, onions, and more!

This week Casey and Erin are joined by special guest CK, general manager of Bitcoin Magazine, and quite possibly the most bullish person in Bitcoin. Most people are not bullish enough by multiple orders of magnitude, but CK is only not bullish enough by one order of magnitude. We talk hyperbitcoinization, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This week Casey and Erin talk about the wild world of Crypto, a.k.a. everything that's not Bitcoin. They dive into the early history of Bitcoin, early altcoins, the ICO boom, defi, NFTs, crypto psychology, and dig into a host of different projects, including Ethereum, Monero, Cardano, Solana, and more.

Erin gives Casey a lowdown on the astrology of Bitcoin, including a breakdown of the current astrological cycles, Bitcoin's natal chart, and the Pluto return of the USA. Plus, Casey gets a natal chart reading and goes from astrology skeptic to believer.

Erin has returned from Europe and we're back with another episode! This week, Erin and Casey have a wide ranging conversation, touching on the fall of Rome, new gods versus old, the energetics of the Large Hadron Collider, and of course, Bitcoin Maximalism.

As Casey has alluded to before, Bitcoin is really just a big pile of coins. This big pile of coins is called, in less colorful language, the UTXO set. Casey is finally making good on his threat to explain the UTXO set to Erin, using a big bag of craft store supplies as props.

Casey and Erin welcome Isabel Foxen Duke to the podcast to discuss how bitcoin synergizes with left and progressive causes.

Casey and Erin mull and opine regarding Bitcoin mining and energy consumption, and the karmic energetics of nuclear power.

With inflation ramping up, Casey and Erin discuss rising prices, where money comes from, gold, and why they can't just print more bitcoin.

On October 28, 2008, a PDF was published that challenged everything we thought we knew about money. In this video Casey and Erin discuss how they discovered bitcoin, the social and economic climate at the time the whitepaper was released, and the system that the whitepaper describes.
