The Truth About Quantum Computing & Bitcoin | Brandon Black

Great rip!!! Love these conversations about things that matter. Hilarious and thought provoking episode! Thanks guys. Sorry I couldn't watch it on zap, for some reason nothing was loading for me when it was live.

⚡️⚡️FINANCE BRO PODCASTS ARE THE REAL SHITCOIN!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

the core dev, lorinc, finding a critical consensus bug from sloppy coding in 110 was hilarious.

110 is an attack on Bitcoin. Doesn’t mean Core is perfect either.

Wow, thanks for the best explaination that I've heard of the bitcoin reserve and crypto stockpile. Was glad to hear Sax's interview, had not heard that one. Really great to hear that it's being done with transparency and accountability. Thanks for bringing the best coverage!

The argument that we won’t see it coming is self-defeating. If governments have an incentive to go dark, then why do they flip, and then put up the biggest billboard sign imaginable by stealing bitcoin? Imagine the US or China developing a relevant quantum computer in secret and then spoiling the secret to steal some bitcoin, ridiculous.

Thanks for the interview Walker and Andy. I found Andy's comments about developers willing to prioritize morals over money to be quite encouraging.

Great episode!

Thanks!

Demanding 600 Bitcoin after you stole all of someone’s money is utterly insane

Bro WTF? Everything about their theft is uncommon compared to white hat. You can’t steal and then extort, that isn’t how white hat works. There’s an inherent power balance where you’re “negotiating” with your victim of whom you stole their money. If I break into your house and steal all your shit, will you feel all good if I offer to give most back?

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.
