Discussion
Really enjoyed Jimmy Song breaking down his thesis for Fiat money, the misalignment of capital allocation and our grubby position as a result. 47min total, but it was about a third in and for 20mins
Always enjoy the POD256 rip and this week's episode was decent
I should listen to that more! Are they on Nostr?
Rod and Econo are on Nostr yeah mate. Don't think the pod itself has a profile if that's what you mean
POD256 | Bitcoin Mining News & Analysis: 041. No Holds Barred w/ Special Guest: Zack Bomsta, Founder - Pivotal Pleb Tech & UnBound, State of the Network, Tangents, Home Miner of the Week
THE Bitcoin Podcast
DEEZ eNUTS: Everything You Need to Know About Ecash - Calle (Bitcoin Talk on THE Bitcoin Podcast)
Yep great pod. I might be bearish on e-cash, but Calle is a legend.
Why bearish? Cause it's custodial?
Mainly yes. Giving up custody is not a scaling solution to Bitcoin. Calle says this himself (one of the many reasons I have the utmost respect for him).
Outside of that, I really don't think there is, or ever will be, a large appetite for people willing to become mint runners. High profile ones will be regulated into oblivion and grey market ones will be a huge rug risk to users.
What does that leave? Small knit 'community' or 'trusted' outfits like Bitcoin Beach etc where workable solutions (albeit with inferior privacy) already exist.
Just to add - I'm not against or ridiculing ANYONE building solutions to improve Bitcoin ecosystem usage.
All of the people doing so are far smarter than I, and I commend them for taking action. I just don't think custody is a viable long term approach.
However, right now, there aren't many other viable alternatives. Tradeoffs everywhere!
Whether one agrees with chaumian ecash or not, building out the ecosystem is a win .. 🤙🏼
