Chat_154 - Unpacking "The Cat" with the Shitcoin Insider

Bitcoin Audible ·

2025/12/19

"The images are hacks in the first place, and it's not like Bitcoin had like a 'please put your NFT here' sign, so hackers found weird ways to do it. And if you stop them from using that weird way, they'll just do it some other weird way. And so the CAT kind of understands that and says, fine, we can't stop you from making these things and we're not going to try to stop you from making these things. Instead, we're going to disrupt your markets, disrupt

2025/12/19

In this Chat episode with JC, we dive straight into the wild world of AI tooling, vibe coding, Bitcoin protocol design, and the new CAT proposal that has everyone fired up. We explore whether spam is actually a threat, what this new proposal would do to ordinal markets, and why the social layer of Bitcoin governance matters more than people admit. I ask what truly counts as an exploit, and whether sats can stay fungible when the market tries to make them

Bitcoin Audible ·

2025/12/16

"The broad point is that only the strong survive was correct. We are entering the endgame of crypto having any reason to exist. My thesis as to why it exists at all is a combination of a novel vector for gambling and an affinity scam. Bitcoin is extremely difficult to even begin to understand, and even though what it fundamentally 'fixes' is money printing, its novelty ironically lends itself to confusing the uninitiated and impatient with meaningless

In this Chat, I speak with Matt from PPQ.ai about the broken world of AI subscriptions, the power of micropayments, and why Lightning-enabled pay-per-use may be the future of AI tooling. What is subscription hell really costing us, in money, attention, and creative freedom? Can tiny sats and better UX replace the wall of monthly fees and unlock new ways for creators to earn? Along the way, we explore the pain of credit‑card‑based subscription methods, the

“If you think they'll have restraint, I think you're making a grave error.” Can your wallet, your node, or even your hardware become “unlicensed financial activity” overnight? I walk through HRF’s latest Financial Freedom report on new laws in places like the UAE and Belarus, then riff on how these tactics bleed into Western “financial stability” narratives, KYC social media, and digital ID.

"What role do intermediaries—such as merchants, distributors, and traders—play in the market? Far from being mere profiteers, these intermediaries play an essential role in the division of labor.

2Sats - What Does $6 Trillion Mean

2025/12/02

In this 2Sats refresh, I revisit one of my most-shared videos - What Does $6 Trillion Mean? It’s a quick but powerful look at what happens when we normalize creating money out of thin air. Six trillion dollars - it sounds abstract, but when you translate it into the real human lives and sacrifices it represents, the scale of the damage becomes personal. Through a simple analogy, I break down how fiat distortions erase value, manipulate incentives, and

"This analysis has demonstrated through 30 universal laws, empirically validated across 16 years and $1.83 trillion in market capitalization, that Bitcoin represents a genuine phase transition in monetary coordination. It is the first system deriving legitimacy from thermodynamic irreversibility rather than social consensus or institutional authority. The implications extend beyond finance." — Shanaka Anslem PareraIf money has always depended on kings,
