Guy's Take #67 - Withdraw Everything

Bitcoin Audible ·

2023/06/09

With the banking crisis just getting started, with the SEC going after Binance and Coinbase, with rumors of Prime Trust declaring bankruptcy, it is no better time than now to take advantage of the most elegant aspect of Bitcoin, that it is a bearer asset that you can own without the permission or liability of anyone else. There is no better time than now, to withdraw. Today's episode will dig into the recent excellent work from Brad Mills, as well as explore the fundamental

"Nostr isn't just a social network, in a similar way that Bitcoin isn't just a transaction network. Both of these things are true, but they each miss the more significant elements of what they accomplish." — Guy Swann Yesterday I was consumed with a mental thread that I couldn't get out of my head, and so decided to set everything else aside and get this idea out. Today we read my short article posted on blogstack.io, and follow it with a Guy's Take on the possible nuance,

"Much like how two nuclear bombs ended World War II, capital-crushing central bank policy rate hikes and Russian sanctions were like two nuclear bombs dropped on the economy and the banking system. The shock wave took one year to make its way around the world, and now we're dealing with the fallout.European banks like Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse were very intertwined with Russia, and tried to resist cutting ties with Russian business lines as this would inevitably lead to

"Price inflation is the highest it’s been in decades. Labor participation is the lowest it’s been in decades. Wealth inequality is continually going in the wrong direction since 1971 and has accelerated during the QE period. The bond markets are more volatile now than they have been in decades, and 2022 was the worst year for stocks and bonds since 1920. The ballooning of the money supply and growth of the debt-based monetary system is not a left versus right phenomenon — at

"The idea of a language user interface as the next step from the thumb tapping we’ve become used to over the past decade is fascinating, and what we should be thinking about is how to make these tools new “bicycles for the mind,” as Steve Jobs said about computers. It’s very important we push back against doomer narratives that lean the world toward “approved Ai” in order to avoid such tools becoming yet another appendage of the state." — Aleks Svetski What are the true power

With the Introduction of Ark, the new 2nd layer payments and privacy protocol introduced with Read_734. I left with a lot of excitement, but I still had a ton of questions, so it felt like time for a chat with Burak, the creator of Ark. We dive into the bigger picture, how this is similar to lightning, how it is different, and then in an attempt to piece together the working parts we go through a bunch of edge cases and detail exactly how the ASP, past owners of Ark balances,

This off-chain first design enables asset minters and transactors to enjoy the permissionless nature of the bitcoin blockchain and scale their businesses without running into bitcoin’s scaling constraints.

2023/05/11

"The biggest complaint members of my audience make about Nostr is the sheer dominance of Bitcoin content. This is understandable. Nostr uses a means of identification and account management very similar to Bitcoin, it has Bitcoin Lightning integration and Bitcoiners tend to be somewhat techy nerds and early adopters. Hence mostly Bitcoin type folks were the first to see Nostr’s potential and get on it. There is a finite limit to growth though with any topic on social media and

"Bitcoin transaction fees limit network abuse by making usage expensive.

"The question of who controls the ability to merge code changes into Bitcoin Core’s GitHub repository tends to come up on a recurring basis. This has been cited as a “central point of control” of the Bitcoin protocol by various parties over the years, but I argue that the question itself is a red herring that stems from an authoritarian perspective — this model does not apply to Bitcoin. It’s certainly not obvious to a layman as to why that is the case, thus the goal of this

Guy's Take #66 - Pooping in the Park

Bitcoin is a public good. The maintenance and stewardship of the network rests on the conviction and work of 10s or 100s of thousands of node operators who work to validate and ensure consistency among the rules and the truth of the data propagated throughout. NFTs and BRC tokens have come to the Bitcoin timechain, stamping large amounts of data to the chain, and causing bloat in the UTXO set, as well as validation and bandwidth costs. Is the sky falling?

The total assets of three 2023 failures have already eclipsed the total assets of all the banks that failed during the Great Financial Crisis" — Nik Bhatia, Joe Consorti Today we dive into a short breakdown of the breakdown of the banking system with The Bitcoin Layer.
