Cutting out other forms of collateral is where stablecoins can drive up treasury demand. Currency swaps and other credit instruments are huge in repo markets, as is rehypothecation of the same underlying collateral. Stablecoins don't hold claims on treasuries, they hold treasuries. They don't hold gilts and forex swaps, they hold treasuries.
There are problems that come with some of the solutions here, as there mist be as the whole game of fiat is a game of jenga. But short to moderate term they can seem to cannibalize demand for other collateral and chains of rehypothecation in order to reduce treasury yields.

Ben, if you see bears in the future, give them something they'd want instead of grapes. Picnic baskets.
-
Ben's the Boy who cried Bear. Haha.

People would hit me with things suggesting Slackware to a Linux beginner, but you seem keen on appropriately following documentation, and it's got some of the best documentation, and very vanilla software which makes using upstream documentation easy to use too. Some key audio thoughts too. https://web.archive.org/web/20260426090835/https://blog.sla… Doing your work you may want more than the standard pulseaudio back end.

Infinite divisibility would be cool but floating point math is all sorts of problematic. Infinite divisibility is trivial on L2+ though as it is.

Robinhood's 'tokenization' sounds more like an Exchange Traded Note (ETN) that is just a liability of Robinhood and traded on chain. These aren't new, but putting them on chain is. The SEC is talking more about trading actual stock ownership using the chain as a ledger. Very different despite the similar performance in ideal circumstances. If the stock goes up but robinhood goes under, you are out, while with the shares the SEC is talking about, you're good. Maybe a little market downtime, but you'd just get regular shares with SIPC coverage.

He doesn't believe there was ever a major improvement to Bitcoin, but wants payment rails. Yea, tell me you don't understand Segwit without saying so, especially while touting Lightning's use. Not surprised here.
-
The worst possibly blow arguably would have been nonce reuse. That'd have hit even the dice crowd.
-
'Rear admiral' 😅 Tom Luongo calls him Big Gay Patton. Still amused Trump brought us the highest ranking gay man in American history.
-
ACK to more students coming out. Did you not hear @npub1fhmmgwe6f… say there's free food?😄 But seriously pushing the conversation back into classrooms and engaging other academics helps engage more valuable resources. Student engagement disporportionaly can help move the needle. Besides, the more you're into bitcoin when you're a student, the more you're retired when you're 45-50.
-
The thing about Bitcoin wallets is, you can have more than one. Soapminer? You're paying Lightning. Rent? Maybe a hot wallet, or single sig. Retirement savings? Multisig offsite. Generational wealth? You're adding miniscript. You don't keep are your fiat in your pocket. Don't do it with your Bitcoin either.
-
OpenArena is still out there and the zoomers can get off my lawn if they think I'm giving it up. All the Q3 stuff is free on archive.org too, including team arena. Fortnite is very centralized and permissioned. But Minecraft would work. Java version anyway, Idk about bedrock version.
-
A hard fork WILL be what saved bitcoin, if it is saved. If only because of the 2106 problem requiring it.
-
'Nobody runs an electrum server' 🤡 Let's just pretend EPS and electrs don't run trivially on a raspberry pi alongside your full node.
-
I don't get why everyone says random generation was the most important task. It'd have been a better signer than any on the market if it didn't have an RNG at all. It was a task that if you're gonna do has to be done right though.
-
The outernet stuff you're looking for the name of is Reticulum I suspect. Works over lora, Bluetooth, wifi, TCP/IP, ham radio (illegally -- its encrypted), wires...pretty much whatever you want. FIPS is another cool one you should all look at. Turns your npub into an IPv6 address. Talk to @npub1dergggklk… and Max Hillebrand

A hung jury isn't an acquittal, it's a mistrial. Jurors aren't voting, they're deliberating to arrive at consensus. If they can't, it's a do over. Double jeopardy only applies if a verdict is reached.

Hope this counts as a replacement for lost sponsor revenue per this listener.

Welcome back Walker, congrats on the bigger family Also, xpubs will only give unhardened addresses. That said, I expect a Venn diagram of people who didn't roll dice and people using hardened addresses is probably two separate circles.
-
The Jade and Jade Plus use ESP32 microcontrollers. Just FYI.
-
A million times yes. Thank you for addressing this in the right way. You're one of the only podcasts that hasn't responded to Coinkite with yet more bad options. Very much excited that Learning Bitcoin From The Command Line is getting a new edition too -- long overdue.
