The Let's Talk Bitcoin Network

"Human civilization is at an inflection point. Inflationary monetary policy against the backdrop of technological deflation means either that ever more power will become concentrated in the hands of the state, or that one by one, individuals will voluntarily opt into and adopt a superior monetary system, the rules of which cannot be arbitrarily changed." - Dylan Leclair We are at the precipice of the greatest change in our monetary system in nearly the past century. The long term debt cycle is in its endgame. What has led us here, and what future does Bitcoin make possible with its emergence coinciding with the conclusion of the legacy monetary regime. Taking a deeo dive on this topic with this new article at Bitcoin Magazine, written by Dylan Leclair. For other great episodes to explore and dig deeper into the relevant ideas, here are a few mentioned during the show:Utopian Dystopias (by Aleks Svetski)https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/Read_515---Utopian-Dystopias-Alek-Svetski-eupes1Fraying of the Petrodollar System (by Lyn Alden)Part 1 - https://bitcoinaudible.com/the-fraying-of-the-petrodollar-system-part-1/Part 2 - https://bitcoinaudible.com/the-fraying-of-the-petrodollar-system-part-2/ Check out the huge set of charts & statistics that demonstrate the massive long term debt cycle, and at what point we find ourselves in:https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/the-conclusion-of-the-long-term-debt-cycle-and-the-rise-of-bitcoin

Bitcoin is the separation of money and state. It allows hodlers to opt-out of government-issued fiat currency and take sovereignty over their money. For many libertarian-minded Bitcoiners, this was the draw to Bitcoin, even before it had any real value. Throughout late 2020 and into early 2021, more and more companies have added Bitcoin to their treasuries. MicroStrategy led the way, but the most notable is Tesla's recent $1.5bn Bitcoin acquisition. For many, Bitcoin's attraction is due to its monetary policy and thus is a hedge against the unprecedented levels of money printing and the fear of high inflation. However, as Christian Keroles said in his article for Bitcoin Magazine The Sovereign Company Thesis "As companies adopt Bitcoin, they will begin to gain new levels of sovereignty and leverage over the state ' this in and of itself will challenge the dynamics of governance and the nature of nation-states as we currently know them. So, what does the future of sovereign companies look like? In this interview, I talk to Christian Keroles, the Media Editor of Bitcoin Magazine and Robert Breedlove. We discuss the idea of sovereign companies, jurisdictional arbitrage and moving away from a state-controlled world.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, it's tabloid time! To help detox from Ruben and Eric Wall's technical deep dive last week, we take things easy by chatting about the latest cryptocurrency news from Snoop Dog, Paris Hilton, and John McAfee. We do get back to bitcoin again to talk tainted coins, the sale of bitcoindotcom, what constitutes a double-spend, the future relevancy of "not your keys, not your coins", and details about hashrate and mining. As a serial money maker, Snoop Dogg has always been at the forefront of technology. Right now, in 2021, for Snoop, that means riding the NFT wave. He also let slip that Bitcoin is something he believes in, adding that the future is unfolding before us right now. 'œPeople will '˜get' NFTs with time', says Snoop. Snoop commented that the NFT craze exploded onto the scene, seemingly coming from nowhere. Although many people just don't get it, he's confident that this will change with time. Part of the reason why he is excited is that NFTs are shaking up the music industry. More so, in terms of how artists and creators connect with their fanbase, which is something Snoop is excited about. 'œThere are still a lot of people out there who don't know about it, or just don't get it. They will though. It's a big moment and a big technology that is changing the way artists do business and connect with our fans. I am excited about it, ya dig?' '" https://cryptoslate.com/snoop-dogg-on-nfts-and-bitcoin-says-hes-a-believer/ Speaking of Celebrities, none other than Paris Hilton has come out of the no-coiner closet. In her usual linguistic eloquence, She is 'œvery, very excited' about bitcoin because 'œit is the future'. ARStechnica is reporting that Federal prosecutors have indicted noted cybersecurity eccentric John McAfee for securities and wire fraud for misleading investors at the peak of the last cryptocurrency boom. In late 2017 and early 2018, McAfee urged his hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers to invest in a number of obscure cryptocurrencies. Prosecutors say he failed to disclose his own financial stake in those tokens'"and in some cases outright lied about it. McAfee engaged in two types of illegal schemes. In one, he would buy an obscure cryptocurrency, talk it up on Twitter, and then unload it at a higher price. In other cases, he would agree to hype up a new cryptocurrency sale on Twitter in exchange for a cut of the proceeds. Buying and promoting cryptocurrencies isn't necessarily illegal on its own. The problem, prosecutors say, is that McAfee tried to boost the effectiveness of his endorsements by falsely claiming that he had no financial stake in his recommendation. The government says that made his actions a violation of federal fraud statutes. On Twitter, someone asked him if he got paid to promote tokens like SETHER. ""I do not,"" he responded. ""I merely sift through the mass [of] tokens to find the gems and share them."" Though he did claim that he had ""been advising them on cyber security."" The same day, McAfee wrote privately to SETHER's founder: ""For the next few weeks, take my name off your site,"" he suggested. ""I want to be able to leverage my Twitter with people assuming I have no relationship with you. Removing my name now will add at least a million dollars to your sale."" In total, federal prosecutors say that McAfee earned more than $13 million through misleading cryptocurrency promotional schemes.

The US General Services Administration just auctioned off 0.7501 BTC for a 21% premium to market. GSA auctions are open to the public, but most require bidders to pre-register and post some kind of deposit prior to bidding. The lot of 0.7501 BTC was much smaller than other government auctions which could explain the premium. For all you wanna

We are just over a month into 2021, and it has already been a wild start of the year for Bitcoin and the broader financial markets. The r/wallstreetbets subreddit took it to Wall Street by collectively buying up the heavily shorted GameStop (GME). The stock price went from around $20 in mid-January to over $450 in less than two weeks, wiping a staggering $4.5 billion off Melvin Capital's balance sheet. In early February, corporate Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor held his '˜Bitcoin for Corporations' event which around 7,000 companies attended. Just days after the conference, Tesla announced that they had bought $1.5bn of Bitcoin. With any bull market, shitcoins also see an increase in activity. With the rise of Clubhouse, the salesmen are out in force. Yet, Bitcoiners are marshalling the rooms, educating newcomers on why Bitcoin is the only asset they should be considering. In this interview, I talk to Cory Klippsten, the founder of SwanBitcoin. We discuss how shitcoiners are invading Clubhouse, r/wallstreetbets, corporations buying Bitcoin, and which nation-states will first disclose a Bitcoin position first.

On Monday, Tesla made the announcement that Bitcoiners had been anticipating. In their annual report to the SEC, Tesla disclosed that they had invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and the Bitcoin price soared to a new all-time high of over $47,000. In 2020, Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy paved the way for corporations to add Bitcoin to their treasuries and since then several companies have followed suit, including Square and MassMutual. However, as the richest man in the world and one of the most influential in the tech industry, Elon Musk's could prove to be the most important in the history of Bitcoin. It has sent shockwaves through the corporate world and will make the CEO of every publicly traded company question their treasury strategy. But, what does this mean for Bitcoin? And does this mark the beginning of the corporate race for Sats? In this interview, I talk to American HODL and Preston Pysh, author, engineer & the host of The Investor Podcast. We discuss Tesla's announcement, MicroStrategy's influence and corporations scrambling to buy Bitcoin.

The Gold Standard was a monetary system that linked the value of a country's currency to the amount of gold held in reserve. The Gold Standard placed restrictions on a governments ability to print money. Still, in 1971 Nixon announced that the US would sever all ties between the dollar and gold, and would no longer convert dollars to gold at a fixed value of $35. Nixon's decision severed all links to The Gold Standard, and since then the world has been in a fiat monetary system. Many Bitcoiners believe that the fiat monetary experiment is failing and it is inevitable that, at some point, the hardest form of money will win out - bitcoin. Hyperbitcoinisation is when bitcoin becomes the world's dominant form of money and the entire financial system's base asset. But how do we get there? And what are the implications on society? In this interview, I talk to Dan Held, the Director of Business Development at Kraken. We discuss the implications of a Bitcoin Standard, onboarding, adoption, decentralisation and layer one ossification.
