Is the Bitcoin-Dollar theory a path to salvation or destruction for the US currency? Stablecoin issuers have become major buyers of US bonds, and political figures have flipped the script to embrace Bitcoin. What does this mean for the future of money, and will Bitocin reinforce dollar dominance or pave the way for a new monetary standard? It's time for a Guy's Take episode. Links to check out Whitney Webb & Mark Goodwin's research on the Bitcoin Dollar theory The Bitcoin Reformation by Tuur Demeester Lyn Alden's work on banking crises and global financial systems Preston Pysh's...

I'm trying to add to the free, private, decentralized apps space based on p2p protocols and design using the Pear stack.

5k Been passively stacking with Fold+ for a couple years now, about 13mm sats. I spend over 10k/month to get ACH rewards of about 1% back on my mortgage and a few other bills. Recently got a Venmo CC to get greater % rewards on bills and groceries (1-3%) and then they auto buy BTC at statement period end.
I am planning to go all in with the Fold CC once it's released, though.

2.1k The reporter goes, “Chairman Powell, can we even stop this Bitcoin thing, or do you even want to?” And he’s like, “Honestly? Nah, we can’t - and we’re not gonna bother trying anymore. Big money’s already all in. Might as well just roll with it. You already bought your ticket? Well, then, enjoy the ride!”

5k Paul is arguing that Lightning doesn't work because it doesn't scale to 8 billion? Has anyone claimed it would? Does any monetary system we have scale to the whole world?
Appeals to authority, admitting he hasn't used it in recent years, clearly has an axe to grind about a different solution (drive chains).
Seeing more and more "OGs" who are disappointing. Slay your heroes, fam.

5k Shinobi is like Bitcoin's version of Reddit atheists and lolbertarians doing a "well akshually". The fact that he admitted he can't steelman the opposition tells me everything I need to know. Doing that is histrionic moralphagging, "It's so absurd I can't even...they must be crazy!"

Great show. I’ve been worried about it but instinctively something didn’t seem right and you’ve explained my concerns really well. 🤣even though I didn’t even know they were my concerns.

Long drive today. Wife slept in the passenger seat, toddler in the back. Prime time Guy time. Keep rocking brother! 🤙🏻

Great episode! Just my take: comparing stablecoins to banks isn't quite right - they're more like money market funds in your pocket. They could indeed lower barriers and the Fed would one day be willing to print if stablecoins (like mmfs in the past) "break the buck". Brrr… -> Another win for bitcoin. Stablecoins might also drive demand for short-term govies, which might become scarce as MMFs are used as collateral in this world where still no bank trusts any other without the right collateral at the right time. Repledging not counted for here. Overall, I agree - most fiat and shitcoins will fail, Bitcoin layers will win, and the dollar may stick around as the "cleanest dirty shirt" for a while. But it's time to get a clean shirt - get Bitcoin.
