In this high-energy episode, Steven Lubka joins Swan Signal Live to discuss the resurgence of Bitcoin, macroeconomic shifts, and the rise of vibes-driven investing.

I speak with Brad Loewen, host of Beyond the Price, exploring Bitcoin adoption in East Asia. Brad and I both attended the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong recently, organised by BTC Inc, the same company behind Bitcoin Miami, Bitcoin Amsterdam, Bitcoin Magazine, along with their investment arm UTXO Management. Now it was clear that there would be some ordinal-related discussions at the conference which I wanted to verify for myself, however I was not expecting the sheer degree of emphasis on these, as well as the overall VC, compliance & KYC, public mining, and financial services direction of the conference. As we explore, I have come to question BTC Inc's motivations, their choice of sponsors and programming, and their commitment to Bitcoin as freedom and privacy tech. Bitcoin is resilient and anti-fragile, but I can't help but wonder if this conference and the so-called Bitcoin Magazine are not part of a broader attack that uses the affinity of the Bitcoin brand to nullify the ongoing imperative for sound money, self-custody, decentralisation, and self-sovereignty.
"Bitcoin is way beyond any sort of central ethos. It's a force of nature." - CKMy guest today is Christian Keroles, aka CK. CK is the Director of Financial Freedom at the Human Rights Foundation, focusing on advancing open-source Bitcoin development and global Bitcoin adoption.

He also played a pivotal role in establishing one of the world's largest and most influential conferences in the Bitcoin and fintech industries—the Bitcoin Conference. In this episode we discuss discusses Bitcoin's transformative potential as a global paradigm shift. We explores Bitcoin's anti-fragile nature, the need for solutions that work under realistic conditions, and the importance of adapting to the evolving landscape. CK emphasizes the limitless possibilities within Bitcoin's consensus rules and the significance of environmental solutions.Follow CK on X and nostrYou can find Trey on nostr, X, and via the pod's social channelsTo learn more about HRF's Financial Freedom programs, the Bitcoin Dev Fund, and subscribe to the weekly Financial Freedom Report, head to https://hrf.org/programs/financial-freedom/ EXCLUSIVE SPONSORS:ZEUS is an open-source, self-custodial Bitcoin wallet that gives you full control over how you make payments.

In today's episode, we spoke with David Bailey, the CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and the Bitcoin Conferences. David's rabbit hole story is fascinating. Not only did he discover Bitcoin in 2012, he also emerged as one of the public voices from this time over the years. To say David has it hard on social media is an understatement. We also spoke about this and, generally, the whole heat against Bitcoin Magazine.

Welcome to Financial Fox, your gateway to the world of finance, investment, and blockchain innovation. In this episode, our host, Stefania Barbaglio, dives deep into the fascinating realm of Bitcoin with none other than David Bailey, the CEO of BTC Inc. and Bitcoin Magazine.

David Bailey is the co-founder & CEO of BTC Inc. In this interview, we discuss the upcoming Bitcoin Conference in Miami, the ongoing saga with Genesis, Grayscale & DCG, as well as the Redeem GBTC campaign that David has been spearheading. - - - - Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is a trust product offered by Grayscale, a company owned by Digital Currency Group (DCG). GBTC allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin through more traditional investment channels, and currently, Grayscale manages approximately $18.1 billion across various funds. However, Grayscale is facing some significant issues. Since early 2021, GBTC has been trading below its net asset value (NAV) at a discount rate of around -36%. GBTC holders are unable to redeem their shares for the underlying asset and must accept this discount if they want to sell their shares on the open market. To address this, David Bailey has set up the Redeem GBTC campaign to push Grayscale to open withdrawals and allow GBTC holders to access the underlying Bitcoin with minimal impact on the Bitcoin market. Allowing redemptions could also potentially bring the heavy discount to NAV back closer to par.

“In much the same way that the internet changed the world, and changed how we interact with information, Bitcoin has changed how humanity interacts with value and money.”— David ZellDavid Zell is a co-founder of the Bitcoin Policy Institute and Director of Policy at BTC Inc. In this interview, we discuss how the Bitcoin Policy Institute engages to educate politicians in DC through combating FUD, distinguishing Bitcoin from crypto, and aligning Bitcoin with US National Security interests and American values. - - - - Bitcoin was developed on the shoulders of the cypherpunks building new forms of money outside of government control and oversight. Permission was not sought, as permission would not have been granted. Government actively disrupted the cypherpunk vision, seeking to destroy it. Bitcoin's emergence was therefore antithetical to the concerns and endorsement of decision-makers. But, some believe that the initial battle has been won. Bitcoin is now 14 years old. It has spread to all corners of the globe, and radically changed the mindset of those who have interacted with it. This includes some of those in the corridors of power, who have been won over by its ideology and technical resilience. The question now is how Bitcoin development continues.Bitcoin could continue to evolve without seeking to engage with the levers of the state. Experience suggests that this would marginalise Bitcoin and Bitcoiners within the US. In the meantime, other protocols and blockchains would continue to curry favour with lawmakers and mould the regulatory framework to their needs. Who would win in this situation?Or, through advocacy and education and cooperation with those in DC, Bitcoin could be allowed to develop openly within the United States. Much like the internet, the risks posed by this new innovation wouldn't be allowed to throttle the huge benefits it has to offer both individuals and society. In a grand scenario, Bitcoin could allow the United States to continue to compete for hegemonic power whilst continuing to champion individual freedom and sovereignty. This is a huge prize. Perhaps the biggest prize. This is why there are people willing to put in the hard graft to develop and nurture bodies like the Bitcoin Policy Institute. The future owes them gratitude. - - - - This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyLedn - Financial services for Bitcoin hodlersBitcasino - The Future of Gaming is hereFidelity - Careers in cryptoLedger - State of the art Bitcoin hardware walletWasabi Wallet - Privacy by defaultBCB Group - Global digital financial Services-----WBD601 - Show Notes-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: BitcoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | Deezer | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

Much like the internet, the risks posed by this new innovation wouldn't be allowed to throttle the huge benefits it has to offer both individuals and society. In a grand scenario, Bitcoin could allow the United States to continue to compete for hegemonic power whilst continuing to champion individual freedom and sovereignty. This is a huge prize. Perhaps the biggest prize. This is why there are people willing to put in the hard graft to develop and nurture bodies like the Bitcoin Policy Institute. The future owes them gratitude.

This is the audio version of my article Opposing the Corruptible Fiat System, Bitcoin Enforces Universal Human Rights. It lays out how Bitcoin directly enforces seven of the 30 human rights listed on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. The article shows the correlations between authoritarianism, corruption, inflation and oppression and how financial exclusion is used as an instrument to keep two billions worldwide from using a financial service.

“We have to recognise that there is value in market-based alternatives, and that open monetary networks, bring risks like anything, but also bring unimaginable opportunity for spreading democracy, for ensuring civil liberties and rights, and for connecting more people to the global economy.”— David ZellDavid Zell is a co-founder of the Bitcoin Policy Institute and Director of Policy at BTC Inc. In this interview, we discuss fighting to make congress aware of Bitcoin's social value, the strategic benefits of Bitcoin for the US and how our rights are being erased in a digital world and Bitcoin's defence.- - - - On June 1st a letter in “Support of Responsible Fintech Policy” was sent to Congress. Purportedly from 1,500 “computer scientists, software engineers, and technologists”, it excoriated blockchain technology, stating it “has been a solution in search of a problem and has now latched onto concepts such as financial inclusion and data transparency to justify its existence.” FUD in the media is one thing. Direct lobbying of congress using persuasive but purposefully misleading arguments is another. Coordinated attack vectors have affected Bitcoin at numerous stages of its evolution. These attacks are now focused on galvanizing the most powerful of external forces: persuading the US government Bitcoin is of no social value is arguably the most dangerous moment yet. The battles over technical details have now become battles over ideas. And the constituency over which this battle is being fought has grown from an informed and knowledgeable clique of insiders to a less informed but more consequential clique of legislators. But, just as the assaults on Bitcoin have become more political and trenchant, the defensive measures have witnessed significant maturation. Bitcoin has always had persuasive individuals. Now it has powerful institutions. Most importantly it has its own think tank, bringing together some of the most interesting and original voices within the industry.In this new stage of Bitcoin's development, we are lucky to have those who can see the battle that needs to be fought at the nation-state level.

David Zell is a co-founder of the Bitcoin Policy Institute and Director of Policy at BTC Inc. In this interview, we discuss echo chambers and groupthink, how Bitcoin being for everyone makes it stronger, the threat of Bitcoin to China, and political exploitation. - - - - Bitcoin's survival and flourishing from the early days was down to having an impassioned and protective community. Some of this was defensive; resilience builds over years of criticism and ridicule. Some of this was offensive as various existential risks have had to be overcome. What has evolved is a kind of ethical militancy, as Bitcoin maximalists have banded together to thwart anything that could damage Satoshi's original vision. However, there is an obvious drawback to this approach in that some have become hardened to any idea or person deemed to be antithetical to the cause. But what is the cause? Can there be divergent opinions on what Bitcoin is and who it should serve to assist? Can Bitcoin be for everyone? If the Bitcoin community doesn't open itself to adoption by those from across the political spectrum does it risk stagnating or fragmenting? What about opposing views at the nation-state level? These seem like positive discussions to be had: it is an obvious sign of maturation. It's intuitive to think it is in Bitcoin's interest to have a broad church. But will isolating its detractors make Bitcoin stronger, or energise the threats against it?
“Most people are good, and have good ambitions for the world, and want things to be better, and so the goal is not to just scream at someone when you disagree with them, it's to figure out what values you share; and, in the case of advocating for Bitcoin, for example, showing how Bitcoin leads to those values.”— David ZellDavid Zell is a co-founder of the Bitcoin Policy Institute and Director of Policy at BTC Inc.

This episode's guest is David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc., the company behind Bitcoin Magazine, The Bitcoin Conference, and several other brands in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Due to his involvement in Bitcoin since 2013, David has a ton of interesting insights and anecdotes to tell. Not only about the early days of Bitcoin and how things have evolved and progressed, but also personal stories about big successes, painful setbacks, and how he and his team navigate this emerging phenomenon and bring value to others. Today, David and his stellar team of hardcore bitcoiners are hitting their stride, pumping out a ton of unique content, and helping to facilitate the convergence and celebration of the culture emerging around bitcoin. --- Follow David: Twitter: @DavidFBailey Website: b.tc Follow John & Seetee: Twitter: @johnkvallis & @Seetee_io Website: seetee.io Use Podcasting 2.0: Breez.Technology NewPodcastingApps.com Value4Value.io
Insight: Who you are when you start your Bitcoin journey and who you become as you go further and further down the rabbit hole could be two very different people--in a good way. People get attracted to Bitcoin for many different reasons. But one passion that unites many advocates is the belief that Bitcoin is pointing us towards real solutions to longstanding problems such as wealth inequality, inflation, labor inefficiency, and even climate change. So, what could the future look like if the true believers are right and "Bitcoin fixes this?" Who do we become as we contribute our part to the Bitcoin community? That's a major theme of today's conversation with Christian Keroles, Managing Director of Bitcoin Magazine at BTC Inc. And I expect it will also be a hot topic at Bitcoin 2022, which is happening April 6-9 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

A world of fiat currency, is a world of fiat culture. Although critics of Bitcoin Maximalists say that fixing culture with Bitcoin is a stretch, I've had the pleasure of editing many articles for the magazine which address the various ways in which the technology is capable of impacting our culture. I was lucky enough to discuss these ideas with Allen, an account manager on the conference team who recently joined us here at BTC Inc. In our conversation, we touched on what impact bitcoin can have on individuals and their families, the life lessons to be learned from Bitcoin, and more.

David Bailey is the CEO of BTC inc, a conglomerate that owns Bitcoin Magazine, The Bitcoin Conference, UTXO Management, and Carrot. Since entering the crypto space in 2012, David has run businesses that involve every part of the crypto ecosystem. After a few misguided years experimenting with crypto projects outside of Bitcoin, David came to the realization that Bitcoin is upstream of all other cryptocurrencies. Since then, his companies have been wholly focused on making hyperbitcoinization our reality.In this episode, David tells about how he got into crypto in the first place and why, the opportunities that still exists for anyone looking to get into the industry, why he believes Bitcoin is good for humanity, the fundamental problem of central banks, Bitcoin in space, and what else Bitcoin will change.Links:BTC Inc: https://b.tc/Get Bitcoin 2022 tickets: https://b.tc/conferenceFollow David on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DavidFBaileyHelp The Louis and Kyle Show:If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend or leave a review!If you want to reach out to us, please do so on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LouisKyleShowEmail us: LouisandKyleShow@gmail.com

Episode 202: Make Bitcoin Fun Again with David Bailey Sitting down with us today is David Bailey, Co-founder and CEO of BTC Inc. Kelley describes him as one of the original lovers of bitcoin and one of the first people that got her interested in the currency. David starts by telling us how he discovered bitcoin and his transition from skeptic to proponent. His company began as a publication under a different name but became BTC Inc after multiple acquisitions and now becoming the blockchain media entity it is today. BTC Inc has been involved in many different projects, which David cites as the reason the company has gained so much traction in the blockchain industry. In this episode, we learn about the different position that bitcoin takes compared to other cryptocurrencies and David’s belief that bitcoin will form a foundational layer for the entire crypto economy. David describes bitcoin as digital gold and believes that, because of the economic principles backing the currency, the price of bitcoin has the potential to grow astronomically. In light of the current bear market, BTC Inc will be holding a conference this summer with a focus on making bitcoin fun again. Topics covered: -David’s initial belief that bitcoin was a scam and subsequent 180 degree turn. -The formation of BTC Inc and the different market cycles it has been through. -Bitcoin’s foundational value for entire crypto ecosystem. -Advantages and disadvantages of Ethereum. -Unfortunate toxicity and division around bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies -The Bitcoin 2019 Conference happening in San Francisco on June 25 and 26. -Focus of the conference is how to make bitcoin fun again.

Topics include: -- Social Media Platforms -- Online Identity Management -- Decentralized Publishing -- Free Speech -- Censorship -- Privacy -- Hate Speech and Internet Trolls -- Technical Features of Blockchain-Based Projects As a musician and an activist, I’ve used social media to varying degrees of success. But we have entered an era in which we are facing a lot of simple obstacles to reaching audiences on our social media platforms, as well as outright censorship and banning. So I’m happy for the chance to speak with two innovators in the blockchain social media landscape. Bill Ottman is co-founder and CEO of Minds.com, a crypto social network. Matt Asher is founder of Before the Ban, a decentralized service for online identity preservation. Through their projects, they are pushing back on the limits and failures of social media giants like Facebook and Twitter, and concretizing values of user control, decentralization, free speech, and privacy.
