Bitcoin Audible ·

2023/07/21

"Some networks are “smart.” They offer sophisticated services that can be delivered to very simple end-user devices on the “edge” of the network. Other networks are “dumb” — they offer only a very basic service and require that the end-user devices are intelligent. What’s smart about dumb networks is that they push innovation to the edge, giving end-users control over the pace and direction of innovation. Simplicity at the center allows for complexity at the edge, which fosters

"The obsession with consumer payments in the Bitcoin community is an unfortunate relic of the fiat money era. Generations that have only known monetary hot potatoes that need to be spent before they devalue have come to view life as a quest of mass consumption." — Saifedean Ammous Today we hit an historical piece from the one and only Saifedean on the economics of Bitcoin for global settlement. While so many fail to recognize the deeper value of money, rather than the shallow

"To do our best to minimize the economics jargon once again, we might simply ask: what are you going to do with your time? Are you going to create or consume? And how do the characteristics of money, as the salable representation of that time, influence your decision? I sincerely believe that this is the killer app for Bitcoin: pricing capital. If there were ever a time to say that Bitcoin Fixes This, here it is." — Allen Farrington On the announcement of AxiomBTC, Allen

"While many of the innovations in the space are new, they’re built on decades of work that led to this point. By tracing this history, we can understand the motivations behind the movement that spawned bitcoin and share its vision for the future." Context matters. If you don't know the history of the cypherpunks and where we are coming from. Then you may not really know where we are today. Listen to Lopp's amazing piece from 2016, Bitcoin & the Rise of the

"Since 1800, in 51 out of 52 cases where a country’s debt-to-GDP ratio reached 130%, the country eventually defaulted. The only exception is current Japan, who is frankly in the final stages of circling the drain (e.g., central bank asset purchases and yield curve control). Where is the US now? 129% debt-to-GDP." — Jesse Myers Don't miss this excellent breakdown and visual analogy for the state of government debt and the promises of the US Treasury and the impossibility of a

Guy's Take #68 - Lightning & the Ai Economy

Bitcoin Audible ·

2023/07/06

Ai agents are going to be able to seek out, delegate, and pay for micro services from an ecosystem of other agents & services. But the resources being share will be delivered instantly, and irreversibly in the form of compute cycles. Only an instant, bearer, and irreversible payment method that scales massively will be able to meet the demands and provide a backbone for the economy of Ai exchange. In this Guy's Take episode, I argue why I think Lightning is going to eat ALL

"Today Americans celebrate 246 years of independence from the British Empire. On this day in 1776 the Founding Fathers made a declaration. It was a bold and risky action. Never before had a colonial state defeated its overlord, especially at the apex of its global power." — Alex Gladstein For Independence Day and for all those travelers out there I'm bringing back an absolutely amazing piece by the one and only Alex Gladstein.

"So we had built this for a while, but because API calls are basically free, there really wasn't a good match for it. There were some good matches for it and people would do it, but as they were doing it, it was like 'I can do it this way, but I can also do it with dollars.' This is kind of a really interesting paradigm when it comes to Ai stuff is that there's basically 3 or 4 different aspects of Ai that make it so you cannot use credit card relationships to solve the

"Your barber or stylist likely has the broadest network of anyone you know. People from every walk of life, including business owners, accountants, teachers, firefighters and politicians, sit in their chairs, sometimes for hours. It is likely that no one else in your sphere of influence has the amount of time and trust to help others learn about and understand Bitcoin." — Hector Alvero We dive into a great, succinct Bitcoin Magazine article today on a surprisingly ripe, yet

A bitcoin centered, custom built LLM intended to encompass the bias, and the perspective of Bitcoin, cypherpunk, Austrian economic point of view.

In sum, we recommend to not worry about “diversification” in cryptocurrencies and to focus exclusively on bitcoin. It’s the right tool for the job, so pick it up and add it to your toolbox." — Adamant Research Today we dive into the amazing report from Adamant Research who have

"Expect BlackRock to turn around and shill this to banks, and in particular big banks, such that JPMorgan, for example, can itself turn around and offer “Bitcoin” to its own clients. Of course, it will be an IOU to the BlackRock Stack O’Sats™ that you can transfer to your friend’s Bank Of America Bitcoin IOU account at your leisure. In other words, in short order, the entirety of the Blue Banks’ asset base becomes a funnel into the matrix of the pseudo-Bitcoin narrative attack

"The more wonderful something is, the more passion it will arouse. Bitcoin is among the greatest wonders of the late-modern world, so Greg Foss is understandably very passionate about it. So passionate in fact, that he dropped 11 f-bombs in 31 seconds. Why is such a stalwart bitcoin proponent so concerned? Because two guys in cheap wizard costumes did a cringey Fortnite dance? Surely the stakes must be higher. According to some, there is a battle underway for the future and soul

The continuing development of the protocol is where the cutting edge of research into what Bitcoin is and discussion about what it should strive to be actually occurs. It can be tricky for newcomers to wrap their head around what sort of proposals are more likely to be accepted for Bitcoin because there are plenty of unwritten rules regarding

Having an open model led to ⁠product integrations⁠, ⁠marketplaces⁠, ⁠user interfaces⁠, and ⁠innovations⁠ that didn’t happen for Dall-E. The effect was palpable: ⁠rapid domination⁠ in terms of cultural impact vs the OpenAI solution, which became increasingly irrelevant.

"Zapvertising has two forms, and I believe there is a crucial difference between the two. In one version, a company or creator zaps a ton of notes on the Nostr feed. Blockstream has done this for a couple of days at a time, to great success. It is very unobtrusive. Just a gentle reminder that they are there, and it is a way to earn good will that may lead to follows and possibly conversion to sales.
