Bitcoin Rapid-Fire
John Vallis
Bitcoin is the future of money, that is my firm belief. I use this show to learn more about this phenomenon, and its various implications, from some of the brightest minds in the space, and beyond. I'm not trying to educate or inform anyone, I'm sharing my own journey of attempting to understand bitcoin, and delving in to some of the less obvious, but incredibly profound, aspects of its emergence in the global culture.

The Story of 'Bitcoin Lake' w/ Patrick Melder
'Bitcoin Lake' is a non-profit organization in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, which was inspired by the impact the people behind the 'Bitcoin Beach' project were able to have in that community.
The organization engages in a number of educational initiatives in the region to promote a better understanding of bitcoin, and help the people there avail of its many potential benefits.
Patrick is the one who got the ball rolling with it all, so I thought it would be interesting to have a chat and learn more about his motivations, experiences and plans for the future.
Enjoy!

The Timechain Codex by Fractal Encrypt - A Bitcoin Sci-Fi Graphic Novel Using All AI-Generated Images
Fractal Encrypt is a pseudonymous artist in the bitcoin space.
He first became known for his stunning bitcoin full-node sculpture and has recently release a bitcoin-themed graphic novel, based on the essay 'Bitcoin Astronomy' by Dhruv Bansal, which uses exclusively AI-generated images for all its artwork.
It's both a stunning example of the current state of AI technology, as well as an entertaining, educational, and compelling look into a potential future with bitcoin, and timechains like it, at the centre.
In order to preserve his privacy, Fractal Encrypt kept his video off in this interview.
Enjoy!

Bitcoiner Book Club Review: 'When Money Dies' by Adam Fergusson
The idea of the Bitcoiner Book Club is to discuss books that seem relevant to the subjects and themes related to bitcoin, or otherwise found to be meaningful or interesting to bitcoiners (at a minimum), and therefore worthy of discussion / review.
'When Money Dies' by Adam Fergusson is one such book, so we got a crew together to discuss.
Enjoy!

How Bitcoin Mining Could Accelerate the Development of Small Modular (Nuclear) Reactors
Small Modular Reactor technology represents the potential for a clean, reliable, abundant, and versatile energy production technology, that could be a major boon to much of the world.
However, the technology is still nascent, and as a result, not yet cost-competitive with other generation technologies. As more solutions compete on the market, and economies of scale develop, this is likely to change.
Perhaps the quickest way that the economics of SMR technology could be improved, is by de-risking capital allocation, improving efficiency, and thereby accelerating ROI and market competitiveness.
The way to achieve this, is by integrating bitcoin mining. Making this case to regulators, investors, entrepreneurs and others, is what Ryan MacLeod is currently engaged in.
Enjoy!
