Just food for thought. I do wonder what the eventual effects might be for bitcoin, hopefully positive!

Welcome back for the new year! Whilst I prefer the shows not focused on US-internal politics, I know there'll be some of that, it's only natural for a US based show. If we're talking about the US Fed, though ... what do you think about the NY Fed holding 7000 tonnes of gold on behalf of foreign governments ? After invading Venezuela, the US might be able to steal its bitcoin reserves, or maybe not. The gold in NY is much easier to steal. If I wanted a sovereign reserve, I know where I'd look!

This seems a very accurate description of btc to me, and also one which depends on two things: btc being hard money, and btc being usable as money for trade.

Trying to keep it short: Money used for Money-Commodity-Money trades is capital. This is how an industrialist uses money. Contrast this to the Commodity-Money-Commodity use of money by say a poor farmer.

It's interesting that you ask if Saylor is downplaying btc as an asset, when the clip you played has him describing it as capital. In classical political economy, capital is a specific role played by hard money.

I'd bet Saylor's selling btc is because of whatever Galaxy Brain thing I don't understand that separates what he's doing from a Ponzi scheme. But if it's not that, maybe it's simple? Buy low sell high, and he's betting against a hot bitcoin summer?

Thanks for the good coverage of what's going on in btc core. This is the sort of episode I appreciate with the show

I don't see any reason why btc couldn't stay under the cost of mining a coin for quite a while. The miners with reserves would keep going, and the small ones wouldn't make it. But my prediction is that it doesn't stay below $60k for long, exactly because this idea is widespread and people will start buying again if it does

I'm with Brent's brother for naming the van. How great would it be when it crossing the border for its name to change from something gratuitously rude, to confusingly French ? Allez Jean-Claude !

No accounts unless its absolutely needed! (ie emails). I encourage everyone to browse their password managers and delete accounts they don't need anymore. I've deleted about 40 of them in 2024

Not really enjoying the extended US politics arc of the show. I'll be tuning out for the near future, and will check in again after the US has calmed down a bit. Thanks for the first year of the show, which got me back into bitcoin.

    Looking forward to the SCaLE and Planet Nix coverage! Here's some sats to help with the travel. If you see any of the nix/bsd people down there, I'd love to hear about it. I find that particular combination intriguing. Wechsel sounds insane, but then I've done exactly that in the past with a Perl script.
