Nicholas Dorier brings us a short piece that is very relevant to many of our challenges today, being clear and precise about the definition of the word custody. As we have seen for decades, the political sphere is almost designed to destroy and confuse the definition of words for the explicit purpose of broadening power, and creating enemies and criminals of anyone who gets in their way. But an even greater dilution of the term has come from within, as new "layer 2" systems compete to be seen as the next major leap forward. Are they really, or are we losing a key definition that could bring more consequences than we may admit...? Let's dig into it.

Did you know that the value and utility of Bitcoin can be trivially duplicated? At least this is what the increasingly bitter buttcoiners of the world seem to espouse, even when proven wrong over and over again, and seeing a million copy cats fail at this very challenge. At least the capitulation is fun to watch. A short one from FT with a Guy's Take to follow. An "apology" to bitcoiners.

Tired of app stores controlling what you download and who gets paid? What if there was a way to directly connect with developers, verify the authenticity of their apps, and support them directly using Bitcoin?

I joined Knut Svanholm and Luke de Wolf on the Bitcoin Infinity Show to explore the fundamental role of money, incentives, and sound economics in shaping society. We dug into the "Give-a-Shit Matrix", a powerful framework for understanding how people allocate resources—and how broken incentives lead to systemic waste.
We also unpacked why Bitcoin is the apex of financial responsibility, how fiat incentivizes inefficiency, and why Ethereum’s staking model is fundamentally flawed. Along the way, we explored miner incentives, the real problem with ordinals, and the deeper economic distortions caused by inflation.
Why does technology keep advancing, yet people feel like they have less time? Why does the system seem designed to trap people in endless work? And how does Bitcoin realign incentives toward genuine prosperity?
This was a great conversation with some hard truths and a few laughs along the way.

It's easy to complain about what hasn't happened yet or what problems are still to be solved. And it's also hard to have humility, recognizing that maybe how and when we imagined a problem would be solved, may not be how reality plays out.
Without getting complacent, it is prudent to also have perspective and compare where we are to its alternatives, rather than an assumed perfect solution that doesn't yet exist. So today we take a break from the technical dives, and the challenges ahead, and take stock of our massive wins, to see just how far we've come. It's time for a Guy's Take episode.

I've wanted for a long time to understand how a DHT works, and how a P2P network is able to establish connections in a resilient, scalable, and decentralized way. So diving into it on the show and having to explain it, seemed the easy way to force me to figure it out. With the help of a fantastic article from the Pubky team, let's make sense of the censorship resistance of P2P networks.

In a past episode, I joined Steve Patterson and the host for what was supposed to be a discussion but quickly turned into one of the most heated debates I've had on the show. Along with Steve, who co-authored Hijacking Bitcoin with Roger Ver, we dove into a fiery debate about Michael Saylor—his influence, his ideas, and whether Bitcoin has been hijacked.
While we all agreed it wouldn’t be a debate, the conversation sparked intense back-and-forths about Bitcoin’s direction and the potential dangers it faces. It’s a passionate exchange that touches on crucial issues within the Bitcoin space, and it's a conversation that’s well worth sharing.

We are all addicted to digits. Fiat digits, loyalty points, social media likes, stock prices—everywhere we turn, someone is trying to hook us. But what if the biggest addiction of all is the illusion of control over numbers that don’t belong to us? In this episode, I dive into a thought-provoking article that exposes how fiat, real estate, gold, stocks, and even Bitcoin itself have become part of a global digit addiction. Who are the digit lords keeping us hooked? How do they manipulate our perception of value? And most importantly—can Bitcoin be both the ultimate fix and the only way out? Join me as we unravel the battle between dependence and true sovereignty.

"We've planted our orange flag in the ground. We've made it known this is a space where we will try to propagate and spread the mission, values and ethos of Bitcoin. And we hope that not only spreads to other cities around the country or the world, but we really view this as a greater movement of how we can really take back our cities.
We do need to organize and align ourselves. You know, online, but when it actually comes time to take action, the in real life aspect can't be understated. And, you know, you need to lock arms as a collective and move forward. Supporting cause that is bigger than oneself. And to the younger generation, I think that's something they really crave. I think the space is really going to give them an outlet to contribute their skills to something that will live beyond them."

While we always talk about the new network, how we can build Nostr, use Keet, implement new OP_CODES, and solve all of our problems with some new software or protocol, something really important can get left out of the conversation.Everything in the Bitcoin Revolution really begins and ends in real life. What does it take to bring bit coiners together in the real world, make a real life space sustainable, and build a true community in a world severely lacking it. Today we chat with a good friend and valuable builder in Bitcoin, Wyatt O'Rourke.

I truly hope you aren't so stupid as to believe this statement when it is uttered by the frauds running the financial and political establishment.

Bitcoin adoption, political shifts, and the future of money - this roundtable gets into it all. How will stablecoins impact the global financial system? Can Bitcoin truly function as a medium of exchange, or is it destined to remain a store of value? What happens when governments and banks start stockpiling BTC? And, in a world where the rules of money are shifting, is the U.S. setting up a strategic Bitcoin reserve? Join me, Bitcoin Mechanic, Steve, and Jeff as we break it all down - no filters, no fluff, just raw discussion.

What if exploitation and war weren't merely anomalies of human society, but there was something inherent to the incentives of the fiat system, that made them inevitable?

Today, Ross Ulbricht breathes the free air again. What does the story of Ross Ulbricht reveal about justice, freedom, and the early ethos of Bitcoin? I thought I would take a little time to delve into the inconsistencies and controversies surrounding the trial, the principles of voluntary trade, and the deeper values of the Bitcoin revolution. Was justice truly served, or did systemic corruption shape the narrative? It's time for a Guy's Take episode.

"The Bitcoin community possesses a unique advantage that will ultimately allow us to prevail: not only do we have skin in the game, we have soul in the game.
Our tribe of a few thousand cypherpunk Bitcoin maximalist fanatics stand against an empire of fiat clones, millions of faceless cogs in a soulless machine. I like our odds." — Francis, Bull BitcoinIn this episode I dive into Francis Pouliot's thought-provoking article, "The Hard Path", exploring the philosophy and challenges of building sustainable Bitcoin solutions. From the critical importance of self-custody to the ethics of taking the hard path in a fiat-dominated world, I reflect on the resilience and optimism required to shape Bitcoin’s future. Are the growing pains of decentralization signs of failure - or of progress toward something transformative?

"That's a really cool aspect of the Bitcoin community and the nostr community as things are right now is most of our users are not your typical what you consider like dumb TikTok users. most of them are like borderline developers. And when people bring up the typical conversation of like we need slicker apps that have easier user interfaces and don't make me think kind of stuff We don't have those users. We have a user base that is like Exponentially more curious than any any other user base out there. As long as the app does something and isn't broken, if you throw it out to the Bitcoin community, they will figure out how to use it." ~ hzrd

In this episode of Bitcoin Audible, I read James O'Beirne's "Bitcoin Core’s Loss of Focus" and offer my perspective on its critical arguments.
Has Bitcoin’s development strayed from its core mission of empowering trustless self-custody for all? Let's unpack the challenges, potential solutions like CTV, and the broader implications for Bitcoin's future scalability.
Is the community prepared to face these fundamental issues—or are we losing sight of what truly matters?Check out the original article thread Bitcoin Core’s Loss of Focus by James O'Beirne (Link: https://tinyurl.com/4a4pyhn4)

While impatiently waiting for my Jade Plus I started digging into the Jade docs and found a unique idea for securing a hardware wallet using a blind oracle. In the theme of our adventures breaking down various security models and leveraging servers or secondary devices for added protection and convenience, this presents a really interesting new too. And of course its open source, so you can run one yourself!
Ever innovating and ever exploring, let's dive into the blind oracle design of the Jade.

"Our philosophy with building Pubky was, all right, we're not going to say never on a server. We're going to say, use a server if you want. Don't use a server if you don't want.
John Carvalho on X: (Link: https://x.com/BitcoinErrorLog)
Either way, it's fine because no matter what happens to you, you can redefine it later.
So it's just basically adding the censorship resistance, this credible exit to using servers. And that's a big part of what pub key enables that other alternatives don't really enable in quite the same way or at all."
- John Carvalho
What does it mean to build an "atomic economy"? In this episode, I sit down with John Carvalho to explore his journey from early Bitcoin adoption to spearheading revolutionary concepts at Synonym. We delve into the challenges of decentralizing the web, redefining self-sovereignty, and creating tools that resist censorship. What could a world look like where your public key is your universal address? How do we rethink trust, tagging, and the very nature of data ownership? From the mechanics of PubKey to philosophical reflections on the future of digital society, John’s contrarian perspective will challenge your mental models and leave you questioning everything from Google to governance. Join us as we navigate the frontier of what might replace the systems we’ve always relied on—and ask, could Bitcoin lead us to a truly independent digital future?

What happens when the Fed's one tool for controlling inflation, stops working? The conditions in the market and in our political institutions is such that this may be where we find ourselves. If they lower interest rates, then inflation will run hot and new money will flood into the economy. But if they raise interest rates, then the massive govt debt and ongoing deficit will require trillions in new money just to keep it afloat. Inflation if you do, inflation if you don't.
