Read_916 - The Thermodynamic Monetary Transition

Bitcoin Audible ·

2025/11/23

"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,

"I think that all of the people that I know that are working on Bitcoin Core and other Bitcoin projects are onlyinterested in the monetary use case. But I think that many of them take a more long term view in how that might be happening if we're trying to get towards this being not just the money for anyone, but the money for everyone."~ Murch In this episode, I sit down with Murch, long-time Bitcoin Core developer and co-founder of Localhost Research,

Read_915 - Thank You For Being Annoying

Bitcoin Audible ·

2025/11/19

I dive into Adam Mastroianni’s piece “Thank You for Being Annoying” and use it as a launchpad to rant about work, love, and why being constantly irritated might be a feature, not a bug. From broken file‑sharing workflows to terrible movie adaptations and contradictory economic ideas, I walk through how annoyance has quietly steered my biggest projects.What if the right question isn’t “What do you love?” but “What bugs you so much you can’t walk

Guy's Take_103 - Bitcoin Dead For Sure This Time

2025/11/15

Why is the "world's most valuable money" stagnating while everything falls apart around it? With 401k hardship withdrawals at record highs and mortgage delinquencies surpassing 2008 levels, shouldn't Bitcoin be rocketing higher? Instead we're watching a slow-motion "silent IPO" unfold as institutional liquidity creates the most frustrating crab market in Bitcoin's history.But what if this isn't a bug - what if it's exactly how mountains are built?Time for

2Sats - A Bit About Time & Regret

Bitcoin Audible ·

2025/11/13

Have you ever wished you could pause time - just stop the clock long enough to catch up on all the things you’ve been meaning to do? In this 2SATS, I explore the illusion of “never having enough time” and how our everyday habits quietly steal years from us. I share the trade-offs that shaped my own projects - from deleting games to reclaim my focus, to writing a book one bathroom break at a time. It’s a short reflection on the real cost of our choices,

"Bitcoiners have a spirit. I think the spirit is an ancient spirit. It goes back to the American Revolution. It goes back to the Magna Carta. It goes back to ancient Greece. It goes back to Christianity in the early Middle East.This spirit of individual freedom, individual rights, there's something inside of each of us that is divine, that kind of thing.And I think that is the cultural signal that resonates with all of humanity.

Bitcoin Audible ·

2025/11/11

Is ARK the missing piece that lets Bitcoin scale without sacrificing sovereignty? Or is it just a confusing mess that you can't make sense of? Hopefully this episode helps as I unpack Paco VM’s brilliant train analogy and dive into how ARK changes the game for Lightning, trust models, and the deeper logic of Bitcoin as the ultimate court of truth.

I dive into the Human Rights Foundation’s look at Bitcoin’s quantum vulnerability - what’s real, what’s hype, and what would it take to truly secure the network. Then I unpack the social and technical chaos such a shift would demand, from wallet redesigns to the moral question of whether “fixing” the past would break Bitcoin’s principles.

Grab your drink and pull up a chair - it’s another Bitcoin Roundtable with Simple Steve, Bitcoin Mechanic, and my brother Jeff Swann. This time we’re diving into the chaos around soft forks, censorship, and the latest round of Bitcoin drama. We get into the weeds (and the memes) of BIP 444, Taproot fallout, node wars, and whether limiting data on-chain is smart security or overzealous gatekeeping.

"They’re passing the torch. And the torch is being received by entities who care less about ideology and more about returns. BlackRock doesn’t care about “being your own bank.” They care about portfolio diversification and risk-adjusted returns. Is that a loss? In some ways, yes. Bitcoin will probably never again have the radical energy it had in its early years. The days of 100x returns in a single year are likely over. The volatility that created

"The necessity for guys to be around other good guys and girls to be around other good girls... we had that really well structured all throughout history. We fucked it all up over the last of the last hundred years when we mixed everything together. And the price we're paying for it is that guys are more like women now and women are more like guys.
