Podcasts about Fud

Josh Swihart is the founder of ZODL: the Zcash Open Development Lab. Basically a for profit reincarnation of the old Electric Coin Company, which inherited the dev teams and projects. During his previous Bitcoin Takeover podcast appearance in November 2024 (S15 E62), Zcash was a struggling privacy project with very little support and a rather disappointing price action. In June 2026, Zcash is the rising star of the cryptocurrency market, with plans to scale to billions of users and ever-improving shielding technology. In this episode, we talk about the good, the bad, and the controversial moments in the recent history of Zcash... and why Bitcoin didn't activate Zerocash yet.

Het sentiment in crypto is slechter dan ooit: professionele investeerders juichen openlijk voor de val van MicroStrategy en vergelijken het zelfs met Terra Luna. Klopt die vergelijking, of is het pure FUD?

Recebi o Thiago Martins em casa pra um papo longo e sem roteiro. A gente passa por tudo: a época da MTV Brasil, a criação do Fudêncio e Seus Amigos, o impacto da inteligência artificial na animação e na publicidade, e o peso real de chegar aos 50 anos.No meio disso tem histórias de rave, LSD, ayahuasca, bastidores de TV e aquelas conversas que começam num tema e terminam em outro completamente diferente.E como é ao vivo, existe sempre a chance de a gente ignorar tudo isso e passar duas horas falando de qualquer outra coisa.Se você curte animação, bastidores e conversa sem filtro, esse episódio é pra você.

Anthropic is voluntarily briefing the Financial Stability Board on a frontier model they haven't released yet — which is either a responsible act of self-regulation or a preview of just how serious they think the risk is. In this episode, Jeremy and Jason break down what Mythos actually represents, why the chip and capital arms race has locked out the people who built the internet's early open infrastructure, and what happens when powerful AI tools get cloned and weaponized before the guardrails transfer. They also get into the AI that lives in a picture frame and talks like your dead relatives — and the smart toilet that will text your family if you haven't used the bathroom by 9am. If you've been trying to track where AI is actually heading versus where it's being pitched as heading, this is the episode.Key Moments00:00 — Anthropic voluntarily briefs the Financial Stability Board on an unreleased frontier model (Mythos)02:45 — Jason: once a model like this releases, the 3–6 month clone window starts — and clones don't have guardrails05:34 — The 90/10 split: 90% of US consumer spending comes from 10% of people — and AI is accelerating the gap06:33 — Why used RAM now costs more than a 2019 server — the chip arms race, explained from a garage network08:38 — State actors buying board seats in private AI companies: what happens when the government wants what you built14:03 — The FUD problem: why every attempt to understand AI gets buried in confusion and confirmation bias15:43 — The AI picture frame: a company called Vinabot lets you hang a photo of a dead relative and have a live conversation with it19:46 — Jason on digital identity: the version of you that gets uploaded is the masked version — not who you actually are26:06 — Jeremy: Claude is 'naturally' pushing back now — and it's brilliant and terrifying at the same time27:17 — VOVO's $5,000 smart toilet: biometric data, family notifications, and the insurance implications nobody wants to talk aboutGet more in our newsletter: https://brobotspodcast.substack.com/

"If you think of River or Gemini or Coinbase or whatever, think of all of those as silos and how people custody Bitcoin. If some sort of compromise were to come into the Bitcoin ecosystem at the private key generation level, that could create an incident that could set Bitcoin back by 10 or more years because it would be almost indistinguishable from a protocol compromise and that we would be talking about Bitcoin being hacked again and not individual custodians being hacked. So I think we need to decentralise how people do Bitcoin custody as much as possible and what better way by leveraging private freedom preserving open source software." ~ Seed In today's chat, I sat down with Seed, the creator of the SeedSigner project, and his backstory is completely wild. He told the story of how he got pulled into Bitcoin through a forensic case tied to a local Silk Road user, why he panic sold in 2017, and how that path eventually led him back to the basics and into building one of the most respected DIY signers in the space. But the real tension in this episode is the part most people skip over: what actually keeps your coins safe when things get messy in the real world. We talk about the grim reality of wrench attacks, what actually happens when law enforcement flips a house upside down with a search warrant, and how a former forensics cop secures his own wealth. If you think a standard hardware wallet hidden in a sock drawer is enough, hearing his threat models might completely rewrite your long-term storage plans. And yes, we got into a few stories that made me think about my own setup a lot differently.

Jeremy Rubin is the author of BIP 119 (OP_CTV, Check Template Verify) and co-author of BIP 348 (CSFS, Check Sig From Stack). More recently, he started working on Char: a decentralized shared sequencer for Bitcoin layer 2s. In this episode, which we recorded at the LayerTwo Labs booth during the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, we talk about the challenges involved in improving Bitcoin and why Jeremy chooses to be a relentless builder even in an adversarial environment.

Continua ad impazzare la quantum FUD. Il vincitore del Q-Day Prize ha violato una chiave a curva ellittica a 15 bit. Bitcoin è spacciato? Spolier: no.Inoltre: l'EU prova a mettere una pezza ai bug dell'app per la verifica dell'età con risultati tragicomici, due scritti seri sulla minaccia quantistica arrivano da MIT, perché riutilizzare due volte lo stesso indirizzo Bitcoin è rischioso nell'ipotesi di un attacco quantistico, l'esercito USA dichiara piubblicamente di avere un nodo Bitcoin, e un bellissimo nuovo docufilm si avvicina (forse) alle vere identità di Satoshi Nakamoto.It's showtime!

The "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin" just collapsed. Project Eleven paid 1 BTC for a 15-bit ECC break — but a classical computer does the same thing. Bitcoin's 256-bit security is untouched.A researcher won the Project Eleven Q-Day Prize for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on a publicly accessible quantum computer, billed by the press as the "largest quantum attack on Bitcoin to date." Within 48 hours half the crypto press had it framed as Q-Day. The reality: a $300 laptop can break a 15-bit ECC key in well under a second. Bitcoin uses 256-bit ECC. The gap between 15 bits and 256 bits is roughly 2^241 — a number larger than the atoms in the observable universe. Q-Day is real as a research milestone. Q-Day is FUD as a Bitcoin threat headline today.On this episode we break down what Project Eleven actually proved, why the "1 BTC bounty" isn't what crypto media made it sound like, why Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography is nowhere close to being broken, and what's REALLY worth paying attention to this week — from the Litecoin MWEB 13-block reorg to the Bitcoin Core v30 wallet migration drama, the Bitcoin Knots vs. Core fork update, Shakepay's new BTC-backed loans, SEC Chair Atkins' "innovation" pivot, Kraken's 56 million IRS tax forms, and a $1.1 BILLION Canada Child Benefit story most Canadians missed this week. Plus, of course, Mark Carney's new wealth fund. What a time to be alive.

In this Crypto Town Hall, the panel breaks down Bitcoin's current consolidation in the high $70Ks after another rejection at $80K, strong ETF inflows led by BlackRock, and institutional momentum. They discuss the controversial Trump Meme Coin Gala and its potential to damage the Clarity Act while giving ammo to crypto critics. Other topics include MicroStrategy's massive BTC accumulation, quantum FUD, DeFi exploits, Bitcoin fork debates, and the key differences between Bitcoin's leaderless resilience and struggling altcoins like Cardano. The conversation also touches on founder fatigue, event fatigue with Bitcoin Conference Vegas, and why FUD remains a long-term buying opportunity for Bitcoin. Learn more about your ad choices.

Quantum computing risk, USDC vs. Tether drama after the Drift hack, and World Liberty Financial's governance circus take center stage as Haseeb, Tom, Tarun, and special guest Joshua Lim dissect market signals, institutional FUD, Trumpcoin shenanigans, and ask: is crypto VC dead or just getting started? Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, the crew is joined by special guest Joshua Lim, Head of Derivatives at FalconX (and self-described Quantum FUD Whisperer). Ever wondered what happens when a quantum computer finally threatens public key cryptography? We break down the real and imagined risks of “Q Day,” what markets are actually pricing in, and why watching for Satoshi's coins moving is still the ultimate market panic trigger. Next up, the hosts tackle the messiest storyline in stablecoins: the massive Drift hack, North Korea's role, and the blame game between USDC and Tether. Is Circle's “wait for the court order” approach defensible, or are PR wins up for grabs for whoever moves fastest? We would never forget the crypto car crash that is World Liberty Financial: from drama-filled governance votes that magically extend lockups, to Justin Sun's redemption arc versus Trumpcoin, to whale-scale DeFi leverage that could nuke a protocol. It's a masterclass in governance theater and permissioned shenanigans. Finally, we level with all the “crypto venture is dead” crowd — who's still building, where the real capital is now, and why bear markets always demand an extra shot of conviction. From quantum nightmares to meme coin melodrama, let's get into it.

Karl Kreder, better known as Dr. K, is the architect of the Quai network: a layered blockchain stack which maximizes the power of proof of work to enable high transaction throughput. Similar in design with Peter Todd's idea of Tree Chains, Quai finds itself at the bleeding edge of cryptocurrency research: and might one day help scale Bitcoin too. Recently, Quai got listed on Kraken and appears to be gaining momentum. But the road to mainstream adoption and replacing banks is still long...

Quantum computers are being hyped as the end of Bitcoin — but Bitcoin developers already solved this in 2024, and nobody's talking about it. The same institutions pushing the quantum threat narrative (Google, Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation) have a direct financial incentive to make you doubt Bitcoin's security. Bitcoin's proof-of-work and elliptic curve cryptography are not just safe from today's quantum computers — the network is already on a roadmap to post-quantum cryptography before the threat is even real. This is the deep dive into quantum computing, Bitcoin's cryptographic architecture, and why the "Bitcoin is broken" headline is the biggest lie in tech right now. If you hold Bitcoin, self-custody your stack, and refuse to be manipulated by institutional FUD — this video is required watching.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Daniel Batten argues Bitcoin has largely blunted environmental FUD, but is now losing a broader narrative war and needs an “influence upgrade” to reach the next adoption cohorts He frames the problem as a sales and marketing gap where Bitcoiners often blame newcomers instead of meeting them where they are with better messaging and messengers Discussion highlights a survey showing key barriers are distrust, perceived immorality, and perceived uselessness rather than demographics or politics Daniel introduces a “hierarchy of newcomer needs” emphasizing safety, care, and alignment before education can land effectively Practical guidance: lead with listening, empathize with why someone believes common narratives, and avoid evangelism in favor of tailored education Examples of what works: ambassadors embedded in target communities (eg pension funds, charities) who understand internal processes and patiently navigate committees and objections Key takeaway on adoption dynamics: Bitcoin is both technology and asset, so adoption requires both visible usage (virality) and institutional-grade education to reduce perceived risk They discuss how catalytic events often come from targeted conversations with influential decision-makers (ETFs, corporate treasuries, political shifts), implying more can be “created” with better influence strategy News segment covers macro tariffs/legal angles, bottom-ish signals from on-chain/technical indicators, and pushback on simplistic “Jane Street manipulation” narratives Quantum computing fears are addressed via Yan Pritzker's thread: supply cap safe, risk concentrated in reused/exposed public keys, and migration paths like BIP-360 style upgrades ► For high-net-worth individuals and corporations seeking to build generational wealth with Bitcoin, Swan Private is your guide ✔ https://www.swanbitcoin.com/private?utm_campaign=private&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=swan_signal_live ► Secure your bright orange future with the Swan IRA today!

Bitcoin Boomers Ep. 05: "Once in a Lifetime Opportunity" - Surviving Bitcoin's 50% Drawdown & Why It's Not Too Late | Lawrence Lepard, Bob Burnett, Gary LelandIs Bitcoin dead after crashing 50% from $125K highs to $67K in early 2026? In this explosive solo episode of Bitcoin Boomers, hosts Lawrence Lepard, Bob Burnett, and Gary Leland—veteran Bitcoiners with decades of market cycles under their belts—break down the FUD, volatility, and massive upside ahead. Larry declares Bitcoin a "once in a lifetime opportunity to build enormous wealth," emphasizing how drawdowns like this are normal for a volatile commodity outpacing gold and silver. Bob exposes mining realities setting a $50K-55K price floor, while Gary shares real-talk from Bitcoin meetups: seasoned HODLers aren't panicking—they're buying the dip. They dismantle media myths like Bitcoin for criminals (spoiler: it's traceable AF), ETF impacts on trading behavior, and why new investors chase highs and sell lows. Amid global economic shifts, fourth turning predictions, and governance debates, they orange-pill boomers: understand cycles, dollar-cost average, and HODL through the noise. With AI needing Bitcoin as its currency and hyperinflation looming from endless printing, this is your blueprint to escape fiat's collapse. Stack sats now—Bitcoin's asymmetry could turn $67K into $1M+ by 2032. Don't miss insights on quantum FUD, network effects, and why Bitcoin's not broken, just misunderstood.Key Topics:Bitcoin's media reputation & criminal use mythsMarket sentiment, volatility, and 50-70% drawdownsBitcoin as a commodity: Production costs & price floorsInvestor psychology: Fear, greed, and chasing highsETFs, trading pitfalls, and new investor challengesGovernance evolution & future protocol changesCommunity resilience at meetups and conferencesFourth turning: Economic reforms & Bitcoin's roleAsymmetric returns & long-term HODL strategiesMining updates, hash rate trends, & AI pivotsChapters:00:00:00 Cold Open – Opportunity & Drawdowns00:00:44 Nancy Guthrie & Bitcoin Reputation Myths00:06:11 Finding Experts Amid Media Noise00:10:15 Institutional Bitcoin Wake-Up Calls00:12:14 Traceability & Criminal Use FUD00:15:44 Volatility & Investor Psychology00:19:11 Valuation Models & Price Floors00:24:05 Liquidity & Future Surges00:27:27 Human Nature in Investing00:30:03 Quantum FUD & Governance00:35:48 Hash Rate & AI Pivots00:39:51 Commodity Challenges00:42:22 Mining Cycles & Timing00:49:34 HODLing Strategies00:52:47 Community Sentiment00:57:09 ETF Impacts & Trading Pitfalls01:01:08 Cycle Dampening01:05:36 Halving & Network Usage01:09:07 Quantum Resistance & BIP-11001:12:52 Global Shifts & Hope01:16:24 Orange-Pilling Boomers01:20:14 Power, Trust & Reforms01:27:10 Bit Block Boom PreviewSupported By:Blockstream Jade: Easy, open-source Bitcoin-only cold storage.

February ends with peak FUD. Ryan and David unpack why crypto is stuck in historic “Extreme Fear” even without a major blowup, and why markets feel like they've entered an uncertainty bubble. They break down the Supreme Court striking Trump's tariffs, Trump immediately finding new legal doors to bring them back, and the looming $150B+ refund fight. Then the “Citrini Crash”: AI doomer scenarios going viral, spooking stocks, and leaving investors terrified that AI will be either not good enough or far too good. Plus: fresh allegations that Jane Street helped accelerate Terra's collapse, Meta's stablecoin reboot for its billions of users, ZachXBT's Axiom insider trading exposé, Hyperliquid's new DC policy push, Robinhood's retail venture fund, Coinbase's 24/5 stocks rollout, and the Pentagon's ultimatum to Anthropic over AI guardrails. ---

In remarks recently published by Qiushi, the Chinese Communist Party's flagship journal used to convey policy intentions, Xi Jinping called for a “powerful currency” widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign-exchange markets. What's new about these remarks is not their intended ambition, but rather how clearly those ambitions are stated to the public. Xi paired this plan with calls for a stronger central bank, globally competitive financial institutions, and tighter control of systemic financial risks.

They reflect on a heated Macro Monday debate, stress Bitcoin's unique hard-money properties, address PR/education challenges, institutional hurdles (quantum FUD, advisor views), institutional distrust amplified by Epstein files, stablecoin vs. Bitcoin tensions, and regulatory outlook (Clarity Act prospects). Despite widespread fear, many argue Bitcoin is quietly bottoming— a candid macro-crypto conversation on education, tribalism, and long-term potential.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 053: Dave Collum on Post-Truth Era, Epstein Files Distraction, Satanic Cannibals in Power, MK Ultra, Market 200% Overvalued, and Bitcoin's Liquidity Test.What if the Epstein files are a deliberate distraction from deeper conspiracies like satanic cults infiltrating government, MK Ultra mind control shaping public figures, and a post-truth era fueled by media manipulation and AI deception? Cornell Professor Dave Collum, renowned for his bold economic predictions and unfiltered takes on societal issues, power dynamics, and truth-seeking, exposes how elite corruption ties into child sacrifice rituals, adrenochrome horrors, Hollywood's CIA symbolism, and geopolitical tensions like Israel's influence and U.S.-Russia relations. In this Bitcoin-focused deep dive, Dave warns of an everything bubble with markets 200% overvalued, predicting a 70% correction amid financial systems' flaws, market volatility, and unsustainable economic trends. He unpacks conspiracy theories on trafficking, psychology of mind control, public perception manipulation, and how Bitcoin's enemies—a satanic death cult controlling power—view cryptocurrency as a threat to their fiat empire.Dave reveals the dark roots of adrenochrome, satanic cults' sustainability in modern elites, and Hollywood's role in fictionalizing reality to obscure corruption. He critiques AI's impact on truth, Israel's strategic plays, and why Bitcoin's resilience against attacks (from quantum FUD to spam wars) could redefine money amid economic upheaval. For Bitcoiners stacking sats amid volatility, Dave's insights on gold vs. Bitcoin divergence, Roth IRA illusions, and navigating post-truth chaos offer a roadmap to sovereignty. If you're orange-pilled on decentralization but questioning elite power, media lies, and financial predictions, this episode is your wake-up call.About Dave CollumX: https://x.com/DavidBCollumChapters:00:00:00 Intro & Post-Truth Era00:02:37 Epstein Files as Distraction00:04:37 MK Ultra Shooters & Mass Shootings00:07:53 Satanism and Power Dynamics00:10:22 Zionist Strategies & Israel-Palestine Conflict00:25:00 U.S.-Russia Relations & Cold War Echoes00:32:06 Media Manipulation & Disinformation00:37:59 Education's Impact on Youth & Woke Culture00:43:40 Market Valuations & Asset Bubbles00:50:49 Federal Reserve's Questionable Influence00:57:59 Economic Trends & Market Predictions01:04:42 Competition, Authenticity & Human Connection01:10:25 Search for Truth in Fabricated Reality01:15:58 Hollywood, CIA & Symbolism01:22:58 Fiction-Reality Intersection01:28:51 Enigma of Ex-CIA Operatives01:36:03 Dark Forces in Geopolitics01:42:42 Illusion of Control & Common Knowledge01:49:41 Roth IRA Financial Illusions01:56:58 Currency Upheaval's Impact02:02:09 Bitcoin vs. Gold: Diverging Paths02:08:38 Market Volatility & Historical Patterns02:14:23 Adrenochrome, Child Sacrifice & Satanic Cults02:20:21 MK Ultra Survivors & Trauma Effects02:26:39 Trafficking, Mind Control & Public Figures02:32:27 Sustainability & Public Perception02:38:15 Financial Systems, Bitcoin Resilience & Wrap-Up⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 052: Tom Luongo on Bitcoin Coordinated Assault, Trump Attack on the Davos, Gold's Next Moves & Alberta vs Canada. What if the global elite's coordinated attacks on Bitcoin— from quantum FUD to spam wars and Epstein-Satoshi smears—are designed to crush cryptocurrency's rise while manipulating precious metals like gold and silver? Tom Luongo, renowned geopolitical analyst from Gold Goats 'n Guns Newsletter and Podcast, exposes the forces desperate to control payment rails, why Bitcoin isn't a rival to gold but a frictionless complement in volatile market dynamics, and how economic policies under Trump could revalue assets to $20K gold and beyond. In this Bitcoin deep dive, Tom unpacks Bitcoin's battle for dominance, the psychology behind Bitcoin's volatility spikes, silver's potential monetary revival amid financial system chaos, and political commentary on failing nation-states fueling Bitcoin's win.He breaks down capital flows shifting back to the U.S., the Hamiltonian economic model reshaping American finance, Trump's strategic takedown of Davos via Epstein files, and why Alberta independence could thrive as a U.S. protectorate amid deteriorating U.S.-Canada relations. Tom's bullish outlook: Bitcoin, gold, and silver thrive on adversaries, ensuring long-term sovereignty through sound money and community strength. If you're stacking sats while navigating economic policy turbulence, precious metals synergies, and cryptocurrency's role in market dynamics, this is your roadmap to 2026 financial resilience.About Tom LuongoX: https://x.com/TFL1728Gold Goats 'n Guns: https://tomluongo.meChapters:00:00:00 Intro & Coordinated Attacks on Bitcoin00:01:21 Main Interview Start & Forces Against Bitcoin00:03:02 Bitcoin Accumulation by Elites Since 201500:04:01 Epstein Files as Trump's Attack on Davos00:05:20 Bitcoin vs. Gold: Complementary Assets00:07:07 Friction in Gold vs. Bitcoin's Flow00:09:59 Silver's Potential Monetary Role00:11:42 Capital Flows & Gold in Fort Knox00:13:08 Scott Bessent's Vision for $20K Gold00:14:55 Market Psychology & Bitcoin Volatility00:17:15 Ramping Volatility to Break Weak Hands00:20:47 Hamiltonian Economic Model & U.S. Finance00:23:35 Future of American Capital Flows00:30:24 Bitcoin Market Outlook & Tourist Washout00:31:20 Scott Bessent, SOFR Switch, & Fed Reform00:33:40 Moral Obligation of Debt Repayment & Fraud00:38:37 Trump's Offers & Political Dynamics00:42:11 Epstein Files as Peace Offering Before War00:43:26 Midterms & Save Act for Fair Elections00:46:44 Alberta Independence: Strategies & Protectorate Path00:50:25 Deteriorating U.S.-Canada Relations & Carney-Trump Clash00:55:37 Market Outlook & Economic Predictions01:01:12 Tom Luongo Links & Wrap-Up⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.

In this lively Crypto Town Hall episode, the hosts and guests dive into Bitcoin's recent price action around $69K, debating whether the pullback from the 70s is healthy consolidation or signals more downside. Discussions cover Coinbase premium myths, ETF liquidity shifts, technical support levels like the 200-week MA, options-driven volatility, and aggressive trading vs. long-term DCA strategies. The conversation heats up with heated exchanges on market manipulation, leverage risks, Epstein-related FUD, quantum concerns, institutional trust erosion, and broader macro/geopolitical uncertainty—ending on a note that Bitcoin may serve as the ultimate trustless asset amid institutional chaos. A raw, unfiltered Monday morning crypto debate.

Marty sits down with James Check to discuss the current Bitcoin bear market, where on-chain data and mean reversion models suggest we're in the bottom fifth of the cycle, why capitulation is a necessary process, the quantum computing FUD, the role of gold as portfolio ballast, and why staying convicted through the storm is the only rational move if your decision tree says Bitcoin isn't dead.

Is Bitcoin quantum ready or is it just more FUD? We dive into the technical and social battles between developers and investors over the coming quantum threat, exploring the Factor 21 meme and the high-stakes game theory of post-quantum migration. Brandon Black, Alex Pruden, Nic Carter, and GG join us to talk about whether Bitcoin is prepared for the quantum era. We explore the technical divide between developers who see quantum as a distant concern and investors who fear an unaddressed existential risk. From the Factor 21 meme to the trade-offs of post-quantum signatures like Sphinx and SLH-DSA, we break down the spicy debate that could lead to Bitcoin's most heated internal battle yet and what it means for the future of the network.
