"Value is a strange concept because while it is arguably very real, it is entirely subjective, and because of this there is no yardstick or kilogram to measure it against." - Knut Svanholm Another from the amazing collection over at Citadel21.com, we dive even deeper down the rabbit hole with Knut's piece. What does it even mean to measure value with Bitcoin as our totem? What happens to prices in a perfectly finite monetary good? What would a future where the growth and productivity of the economy were captured by the money, rather than stolen by our money masters? The world is going to be a very different place in a Bitcoin future. The right questions can help us see it, and it's something that we cannot unsee.

What exactly is DeFi, and what does it mean for the future of crypto? Edge CEO Paul Puey joins Tatiana and special guest Co-host Amber Urquhart to talk all about it! DeFi, or Decentralized Finance, is the technology that many believe is the next logical evolution of cryptocurrency, making it possible to use cryptocurrency to collateralize loans, do futures investing, and other services that banks currently offer for far worse interest rates. Paul takes Tatiana & Amber in-depth to talk about how exactly it works, what you can use it for, and why he finds it so fascinating. Paul also talks about how DeFi could affect gold-backed crypto services, app development in the crypto space, and how early DeFi projects' airdrops were a net negative. Paul also discusses a real-world application, with an algorithm-based smart contract system that automatically moves your money into the investments with the highest returns, but also the risks involved in DeFi as an investment system. He also explains why Ethereum is likely to remain the backbone of DeFi for a long time to come, but also gives his thoughts on newer DeFi systems that take advantage of Bitcoin. It's a fascinating conversation with one of crypto's biggest movers and shakers, so give it a listen, and don't forget to subscribe through your favorite podcasting app! About the Guest: Paul is a proud Electrical Engineering and Computer Science graduate of UC Berkeley with a wide range of technical skills from low-level 3D graphics systems engineering to development of custom web CMS systems, back before people knew what a CMS was. He held a lead engineering position with Nvidia and significantly contributed to the design of highly cross platform software architecture enabling code-reuse across multiple ASIC generations and across multiple operating systems. A stickler for proper architecture, he insists on projects being designed from the ground up for maintainability and scalability. Most recently he applied his organizational skills to owning and operated several non-technical small businesses throughout California. There he implemented solutions to bridge the intersection between people, business, and technology and learned how incredibly important a fluid user experience is to the acceptance, adoption, and functionality of technology. In his return back to tech in 2013, he is combining the wide range of life experiences and career paths to drive a company that bridges the complex technology of Bitcoin with the simplicity and function needed by the mass consumer and business owner. Being a strong advocate of the positive potential of Bitcoin, he also organizes regular Bitcoin meetup groups and presentations to help educate the general public. When not converting people to Bitcoin you'll likely find him climbing a rock in Joshua Tree or at a local climbing gym.

Before the advent Bitcoin, financial systems operated based on trust. Central banks, government-issued fiat money and payment processors all rely on trusted third parties. Relying on trust-based systems leaves the user vulnerable to decisions that do not necessarily benefit them, from inflation of the money to supply to the censoring of transactions. Bitcoin changes this. With Bitcoin, there is a fixed supply and rigid monetary policy, and the rules of the system can't be changed at the whim of a small group of people. Add to this the ability to truly custody your wealth; it is clear to see why Bitcoin is so revolutionary. Not everyone has been quick to pick up on Bitcoin. Many institutional investors are still sceptical for many reasons, from the old defunct arguments that Bitcoin is for criminals and terrorists to concerns around price volatility. However, there are signs that institutions are beginning to shift their thinking, highlighted by MicroStrategy's recent decision to move $425 million of their treasury into Bitcoin. In this interview, I talk to Yassine Elmandjra, a Thematic Analyst at Ark Investment, who recently published two whitepapers on Bitcoin. We discuss trust-based v trust minimised systems, property rights and institutional investment in Bitcoin.

Libertarianism is something I have been wrestling with since I discovered Bitcoin. Hard money leads you down many rabbit holes, and questioning the role of the state is one of the deepest. At face value, libertarianism sounds perfect; more freedom, less intervention and limited or no state. However, I have struggled to understand how this would play out and if the idea of an anarchist society being civil and moral is just an ideological fallacy rather than a practical reality. Many libertarians see hyperbitcoinisation as the most likely manifestation of an anarchist society, in that it allows individuals to be self-sovereign, take control of their wealth and remove power from the government. In this interview, I talk to Knut Svanholm, author of Bitcoin: Sovereignty Through Mathematics and Bitcoin: Independence Reimagined. We discuss libertarianism, collectivism v individualism and how Bitcoin is the only path to a libertarian society.

Reason senior editor Elizabeth Nolan Brown has done extensive research and coverage on the topic of sex work and joins us in this episode to talk about it from a liberty-minded perspective. She also takes the time to define sex work vs. sex trafficking and explains how authoritarians use the latter term to punish and harm people who engage in sex work without coercion. She also details how inaccurate studies have led to paranoia about child sex trafficking. There's conversation about how radical feminism colluded with social conservatives to blur the definitions between consensual prostitution and sex trafficking, how criminalization of sex work protects rapists & abusers, whether there's such a thing as "safe" sex work, as well as the rise of webcamming and web galleries as a way for sex workers to avoid exploitation. There's talk about the recent Wayfair "scandal," as well as the "happy ending" massage parlor phenomenon and how it has become the #1 way for law enforcement to make themselves look like they are effectively fighting trafficking. You can't miss this incredibly compelling episode of Proof Of Love! About the Guest: Elizabeth Nolan Brown is a senior editor at Reason, where she writes regularly on the intersections of sex, speech, tech, crime, politics, panic, and civil liberties, and president ofthe libertarian feminist group Feminists for Liberty. Her writing has also appeared in publications such as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Daily Beast, Buzzfeed, Playboy, Fox News, Politico, and Libertarianism.org.
