  • Read_905 - The Cost of Self Custody
    Is layered self-custody really secure in a future of rising Bitcoin fees, or are we all just living in a gray area of trust and compromise? I dive into Shinobi’s article and unravel the hidden mechanics behind what it actually costs to enforce your claim on-chain—and why the line between custodial and non-custodial is blurrier than we want to admit.

  • Chat_145 - Trust Scales Where Bitcoin Can't with John Carvalho
    "The atomic economy and Synonym's mission is to research, design and ship a working free market society. So not just a free market economy, but a free market society. /CUT/ So it replaces government, it replaces big tech, it replaces big banks, it replaces Visa, MasterCard, you know, everything. Everything you would want to do in a network is represented here as part of the economy."~ John Carvalho What happens when the drive to “scale Bitcoin” collides with the reality that trust itself may be the one thing that actually scales? In this conversation with John Carvalho, we dig into Synonym’s vision for the “atomic economy” — a rethinking of how identity, payments, and data flow across the web. We talk about PubKey, PayKit, and the hard lessons of building and scrapping projects until they actually work. We pull apart the hype around Nostr, BlueSky, and Holepunch, and ask whether decentralization is enough or if we really just end up with new kinds of trusted hubs. Along the way, John shares candid thoughts on running a business, managing culture inside a startup, and the frustrations of navigating Bitcoin scaling debates. Is Bitcoin about removing trust — or about enabling us to place it more wisely? How do we build tools for coordination without creating new silos? And what does it really take to design a free-market society from the ground up? Check out our awesome sponsors! Ledn: Need fiat but don’t want to sell your Bitcoin?

  • 2Sats - Why is Bitcoin Mining Even a Thing?
    Bitcoin mining is both one of the coolest and most unique aspects of the Bitcoin system, and it's also one of the most deeply misunderstood parts of it. In my effort to make this crazy thing make some amount of sense, I toss my hat into the ring to explaining why mining is actually one of the most profound, and fascinating parts of Bitcoin, that make it a truly revolutionary discovery. So... Why is Bitcoin mining even a thing? Check out the BitKit wallet if you want a simple and intuitive wallet with on-chain and lightning built in, where you are in control of your own keys. If you are in the US, do NOT use a VPN set to Europe to make lightning work without any friction. That would not be advised to get a service like NordVPN, or Mullvad, and get around that very easily. But you should get a VPN anyway because it will help protect your privacy, but will also protect you from man-in-middle attacks and wifi spoofing attacks.

  • Read_904 - The Op_Return Wars of 2014
    "All of the above did have an impact, however their impact is often overstated in our view. The most significant factor is culture. Some Bitcoiners and Bitcoin developers simply did not want this type of activity on the Bitcoin blockchain and they successfully discouraged it."~ BitMEX ResearchDid Bitcoin’s culture - not its code - push DApps to Ethereum? I read the “OP_RETURN wars” history and then dig into incentives, mempool policy, and filters: are we defending sound money or just inviting smarter spam under a new label?
