Yes! That is one of the main reasons why I started this podcast.

Ok. I’ll reach out to you then and work on the Gauntlet for you in the meantime.

This was a fun chat with nostr:npub1gfxgylgst4lcemkjth6xdvcvq7le8rtlrym7wayml63qrjggngaqkqescl. We discuss Bitcoin’s full potential valuation, “Bitcoin fixes this” as a messaging tool, and Nostr vs Bitcoin adoption.

Knut and Luke, would you like to try the Bitcoin Gauntlet together? You’d be the first duo on the show who would get to debate each other instead of me. The format is a choose-your-own-adventure interview/debate.

We talk about Bitcoin storytelling and narratives, the morality of building freedom tech, and the psychology of Bitcoiners.
It's Tuesday.
You should already have listened to at least 11.4 hours of Bitcoin podcasts.

Would you like to be a guest and try the Bitcoin Gauntlet?

Guests get to choose their own debate prompts, which are divisive ideas in Bitcoin that I’d personally like to see hashed out. I made the pod, in part, to further educate myself and the guests on these issues. Hopefully the audience gets some of that value too. I don’t need or want sponsors, talking to Bitcoiners is value enough.

Specifically, that USDT adopters (in the developing world) will increase their cash balances relative to their peers who use the local, more inflationary currency. That bigger cash balance in USDT can then, in time, be traded for Bitcoin as longer-term savings. https://fountain.fm/episode/us4OtK6HIiDvOWtFCEv2
Then at ~50mins Saifedean explains how USDT will eventually be backed by Bitcoin.

⚡️💬 NEW - Just watched nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5q3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpds8jmryv's talk from Bitcoin 2025. It offers an interesting perspective.
He addresses the view that Tether could be seen as supportive of the US dollar—then presents arguments against it. Even in a scenario where Tether expands significantly and purchases large amounts of US Treasuries, the effect on US debt would still be minimal.
He also explores another idea:
Tether is accumulating Bitcoin gradually. Over time, its Bitcoin reserves could surpass its dollar holdings. If that were to happen, Tether might maintain its peg—or even exceed it. A stablecoin backed primarily by Bitcoin instead of Treasuries could potentially have a different valuation dynamic.
His conclusion:
“Tether isn’t rescuing the dollar. It might actually be helping the world move away from it.”
And this:
“The real risk to Tether isn’t volatility. It’s US default. And Bitcoin is the hedge.”
For those interested in the evolving relationship between stablecoins, fiat debt, and Bitcoin, the talk presents the concepts clearly.
