"As long as there are money printers, there can be no freedom of expression. Money is the tool we use to express value to each other. Whoever controls the money supply controls the world." - Knut Svanholm The world became vastly more free when we separated our religious morals and authority from the apparatus of the state. The separation of church and state is one of the most important developments for freedom in history. But the state retained an unjust, unequal level of control & limitation on the freedom of expression, by monopolizing the very tool we use to express value. Money. Bitcoin is, The Separation of Money and State.

Hyperbitcoinisation is the state at which Bitcoin becomes the world's dominant form of money and thus the base asset for the entire financial system. On the road to hyperbitcoinisation, there will be a tipping point where governments willingly or unwillingly seed power and move over to a bitcoin-based system. For many Bitcoiners, hyperbitcoinisation is inevitable. However, the path to a hyperbitcoinisation society is unclear and likely difficult. In this interview, I talk to entrepreneur, author & speaker Gary Vaynerchuk and founder of Parallax Digital, Robert Breedlove. We discuss the government response to Bitcoin and the road to hyperbitcoinisation.

BigBlock Datacenter is running several mining farms in Russia, Central Asia, and Africa. His mission is to qualify France in the world competition of proof-of-work. We are going deep into the business and the ecological effects of Bitcoin mining."Since bitcoin responds to a major need and is there to last, it seems more relevant to take advantage of this new electrical demand than to be afraid with catastrophic studies or to wait for a miracle protocol supposed to replace the proven principle of proof of work." - Sƒbastien Gouspillou"Each country with big not carbonated electricity resources will mine and have an economical advantage over other countries." - Sƒbastien GouspillouTopics: How Sƒbastien Gouspillou became a Bitcoin miner Addressing climate change Debunking myths around Bitcoin mining Myth 1: One transaction produces X CO2 Myth 2: Bitcoin is an ecological disaster Myth 3: Bitcoin is mined mainly with coal in China Myth 4: Bitcoin is not useful Mining in the Virunga National Park, Kongo Mining in Kazakhstan Bitcoin hash rate follows the price Shownotes on the episode page

As we are in another Bitcoin bull market, many new people will be considering investing, but understanding what Bitcoin is and why it is important isn't straightforward. Bitcoin is multifaceted, and the use cases can vary dramatically depending on where you live in the world and your circumstances. There is no standard narrative or way of explaining Bitcoin; for example, it is a medium of exchange, a way to bypass government and as an inflation hedge. Others are investing in Bitcoin to speculate against the net benefit of all use cases. To help answer some of the most common questions and lay to bed some of the common misconceptions, I talk to software engineer and author, Vijay Boyapati for the ultimate Bitcoin 101.

Host Jose Maria Macedo sits down with Maple Leaf Capital, an anonymous investor and analyst in the space who has quickly made a name for himself with some excellent reports on DeFi and sharp takes on crypto twitter. In our view, Maple Leaf has one of the most cogent, well-articulated theses for crypto as a whole and for DeFi and Web 3.0 specifically. In this wide-ranging conversation, we dive into that and his thoughts on investing in the space more generally, including Maple's crypto and DeFi thesis, investment thesis, competitive moats, specific sector analysis, decentralised governance, and much more.

Bitcoin adoption is maturing, and veteran traders such as Stan Druckenmiller and Paul Tudor Jones, companies like Microstrategy and institutions like Grayscale and Skybridge have all made moves solidifying its reputation and profile. However, it is still not without its detractors. Arguments regarding scalability, how a deflationary system works and fears of money without government backing are topics of regular discussion. One critic who is quick to highlight Bitcoin's perceived shortcomings is Frances Coppola, and last week on Twitter, Frances caused a stir with comments about the scarcity of bitcoin. In this episode, I moderate a debate between Frances, an economist and financial author, and Nic Carter, a Partner at Castle Island Ventures, to discuss some of Bitcoin's most fundamental questions.

"As a consensus system without central authority, Bitcoin protocol upgrades can be challenging. If one segment of the network upgrades to a new version of the protocol before another segment does, different nodes might enforce different rules, introducing the risk that the network fractures between them." - Aaron Van Wirdum Today's read is from Aaron Van Wirdum at Bitcoin Magazine, an excellent writer who has so many brilliant breakdowns of the technical and historical elements of Bitcoin. Taproot is SO close, but there is a final debate, a final hurdle to tackle before we get to see it activated on the network, and that's over how and when to turn on the switch. LOT=true or LOT=false? This is the Last Hurdle Before Taproot Activation: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/lottrue-or-lotfalse-this-is-the-last-hurdle-before-taproot-activationCheck out the Bitcoin Audible Page for Aaron & his collection of amazing work: https://bitcoinaudible.com/?page_id=5204

'œWhen we begin to value things in bitcoin, we can find their legitimate value, as bitcoin is the most legitimately-valued money. There are no manipulations of supply, or buybacks, or quantitative easing or laws protecting value '" only direct valuation.' - Casey Bitcoin may appear volatile, but how does it make sense to measure the volatility of an asset with extremely stable & predictable supply, in an asset who's supply is horrifically volatile & unpredictable? What happens when we turn that image on its head, and start pricing the world in Bitcoin, the hardest monetary asset in the world? Today's episode is all about it, with Casey's Bitcoin Magazine article: 'œStocks Don't Truly Discover Price, Bitcoin Fixes This.'
