Show Notes
Matthew Pines is a national security consultant and a Fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute. American HODL is an OG Bitcoiner. In this episode, we discuss the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the geopolitical game theory behind nation-states accumulating Bitcoin and the details of the executive order. We also get into the implications for monetary policy, how this shifts incentives for developers, and whether this signals the beginning of a global Bitcoin arms race.

1k I thought clawstr was a shitcoin before I saw Derek talk about it on nostr. For the record, I am 99.99999999% sure Marti has nothing to do with it. The only reason I am not 100% sure is because I can't prove a negative. :)

250 Another crazy fact is they use glyphosate as a “desiccant” to kill all the wheat before they harvest it. They do the same thing with onions and other crops

210 Hal Finney was the first person to recognize utility in Satoshi's software. I wouldn't have understood bitcoin's utility back then, but that doesn't mean it had no utility. The man behind RPOW thought it had utility. The fact that your dentist doesn't recognize bitcoin's utility because she can't use it to fill a cavity is moot.

210 I told Pierre this in real life at Pacific Bitcoin 2022, but my high school economics teacher taught me about fractional reserve banking and I was appaled. I realized bitcoin was a viable alternative to this system whrn I first heard about it.
I never read this article before though. Thanks.

210 I didn't know you could do a full lightning node on voltage. I use lunanode's one click deployment. It's a litfle cheaper, but it's a prunned node.

I'm not so worried about an executive order 6102 style attack. I dislike Civil Asset seizure because of executive order 9066.

Allowing taxes to be paid in btc seems like a budget neutral way to get more…
