Podcast appearances and mentions of giacomo zucco

My guest today is Giacomo Zucco, Director of Plan B Network and a well-known Bitcoin maximalist. He's also an advisor/investor for OCEAN, Relai, Ark Labs, Twentytwo, Geyser, Lightning Ventures, Breez and more. He spends his time supporting projects that he feels might be relevant for the future of Bitcoin, be it as an educator, consultant, entrepreneur, maximalist, or troll. In this episode, we dive deep into Bitcoin's ideological and technological battles, from the early days of monetary activism to today's regulatory and institutional challenges. Giacomo unpacks the role of stablecoins and specifically USDT, explaining why it has become both a “useful scam” and a financial bridge for millions. We also touch on CBDCs, the future of financial decentralization, transhumanism and why Bitcoiners should remain cautious as institutions get involved. Please note Giacomo's views do not represent Tether's official views in any way. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Il neo presidente degli Stati Uniti ha lanciato due “meme coin”, uno a suo nome e uno chiamato “Melania coin”. Ma cosa sono esattamente i meme coin? E perché Trump, che era inizialmente molto critico sulle criptovalute, ha deciso di lanciarsi personalmente in questo settore? In questa puntata ne parlano Guido Brera e Giacomo Zucco.

Analisi fondamentale della criptovaluta e di quella che è la percezione attuale degli investitori. In questa nuova puntata Vito Lops approfondisce con il massimo esperto Giacomo Zucco quale è il ruolo presente e futuro di Bitcoin come asset e come tecnologia

In al het geweld rond de ETF's, de stijgende prijs en Michael Saylor die honderden miljoenen leent om Bitcoin te kopen, zou je bijna het originele doel van het project van Satoshi Nakamoto vergeten. Een peer to peer electronic cash system. En met cash doe je betalingen. Toch lijkt dat onderdeel van Bitcoin moeilijk van de grond te komen. Op veel verschillende plekken in de wereld accepteert men bitcoin, maar het blijft zoeken naar genoeg mensen die daadwerkelijk met bitcoin willen betalen. Tien jaar geleden was Arnhem de eerste plek ter wereld waar op relatief grote schaal bitcoin werd geaccepteerd. De Burger King in Arnhem was het eerste restaurant van die keten dat Bitcoin accepteerde, wereldwijd. Te gast in de Cryptocast van vandaag is Patrick van der Meijde, voormalig voorzitter van de branchevereniging voor Bitcoinbedrijven (de VBNL) en 10 jaar geleden initiatiefnemer van Arnhem Bitcoinstad. Ter gelegenheid van dat jubileum stort Patrick zich nu op het organiseren van een nieuw evenement, uiteraard in Arnhem. Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem, staat volledig in het teken van de adoptie en het daadwerkelijk gebruiken van Bitcoin. Daar zijn een groot deel van de gasten dan ook op uitgezocht, vertelt hij aan Herbert Blankesteijn. Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem zal plaatsvinden in Luxor Live, een poppodium in Arnhem. De eerste namen zijn veelbelovend. Onder meer Bitcoinontwikkelaar Peter Todd komt naar de Gelderse Hoofdstad, net zoals Aaron van Wirdum en Giacomo Zucco. Daarnaast komen er flink wat initiatiefnemers van andere circulaire bitcoineconomiën, zoals Bitcoin Berlín in El Salvador. Rondom het evenement zijn ook allerlei 'side-events' gepland, om vooral buitenlandse bitcoiners meer van Arnhem te laten zien dan alleen de binnenstad. Er is voor ieder wat wils: mining-workshops, een wandel-of fietstocht, een pizza-avond en technische discussie bij een Bitdevs-meetup. Hoe zorgen we ervoor dat mensen hun bitcoin óók durven uit te geven? En wat kunnen we op 25 mei verwachten van het evenement in Arnhem? Co-host is Daniël Mol.

Con l'arrivo dell'Etf sulla criptovaluta aumentano di giorno in giorno gli acquisti di Bitcoin da parte delle grandi case di investimento capitanate da BlackRock, la più grande al mondo con masse gestite pari a 10mila miliardi di dollari. Di questo passo cosa succederà a Bitcoin che ha un'offerta limitata a 21 milioni di unità. Il suo network decentralizzato e la sua natura verrà “contaminata” a lungo andare dall'Etf degli istituzionali? Vito Lops ne discute in questa puntata con Giacomo Zucco, uno dei massimi esperti del protocollo ideato da Satoshi Nakamoto nel 2008

Giacomo Zucco is a Bitcoin educator, John Carvalho is CEO of Synonym, and Matt Corallo is a Bitcoin Core developer and open-source engineer at Block/Spiral. In this interview, we discuss how to scale Bitcoin while maintaining self-sovereignty. - - - - The best way to scale Bitcoin has been a hot topic since its inception. Whether it be through Bitcoin-backed banks as Hal Finney suggested back in 2010, increasing the throughput on the Bitcoin blockchain, layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network, or federated custodian options like Fedimints. Over the past year, the surge in Bitcoin transaction fees, largely attributed to the emergence of BRC20 tokens, ordinals, and inscriptions, has once again brought the topic of scaling Bitcoin to the forefront of conversation. High fees have priced smaller transactions out of the market, and the Lightning Network, hailed as a potential solution to scalability challenges, has faced some initial hurdles. The different scaling solutions all have different trade-offs. Trustlessness and trust minimization are key tenets of Bitcoin, ensuring that users do not need to trust any central authority or third party. The Lightning Network aligns with these principles as it enables trustless, peer-to-peer transactions, reducing the need for custodial services and enhancing individual control over funds. While Bitcoin's primary focus is on decentralization and self-sovereignty, some developments, such as the concept of the "Wallet of Satoshi" or Bitcoin ETFs, aim to make Bitcoin more accessible and user-friendly to a broader audience. Wallet of Satoshi is a custodial Lightning wallet designed to simplify the user experience, while Bitcoin ETFs provide a means for traditional investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without directly holding the asset. These developments have the potential to expand Bitcoin's adoption, but may raise concerns about centralization and counterparty risk. - Show notes: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/scaling-bitcoin-with-zucco-carvalho-corallo This episode's sponsors: Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.

“Within the Bitcoin mission, all of that stuff is a LARP. There is no gray; it's entirely black or white. You're either self-sovereign, or you're not…if you want to have conversations about banking technology, custody technology, if that's your interest, great. Just leave it out of my Bitcoin conversation.”— John CarvalhoGiacomo Zucco is a Bitcoin educator, John Carvalho is CEO of Synonym, and Matt Corallo is a Bitcoin Core developer and open-source engineer at Block/Spiral.

Walker talks with Giacomo Zucco, a Bitcoin entrepreneur, consultant, speaker, and adviser. I wanted to talk to Giacomo about Ordinals and Inscriptions, because there's quite a debate raging around these topics right now, and I always appreciate Giacomo's perspective. We start the conversation off talking about what the purpose of Bitcoin is and setting up some definitions for "what is spam," then discuss the "free market" and what exactly that means in terms of active or passive response.*****Go to https://bitbox.swiss/walker and use the promo code WALKER for 5% OFF the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet.*****GIACOMO'S LINKS:Twitter: https://twitter.com/giacomozucco Website: https://www.giacomozucco.com*****THE BITCOIN PODCAST LINKS:Listen on FOUNTAIN: https://www.fountain.fm/show/68gcLZFDRxOzgGeZmXq6Listen EVERYWHERE: https://pod.link/1694392423Walker on Nostr: https://primal.net/walkerNpub: npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4uFOLLOW ON TWITTER:https://twitter.com/walkeramericahttps://twitter.com/titcoinpodcastWATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@walkeramericaWATCH ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/user/WalkerAmericaBITCOIN PODCAST WEBSITE: https://bitcoinpodcast.net

Bitcoin educator and investor Giacomo Zucco joins us to explain why he thinks bitcoin cannot be hard money unless it is dark money. We discuss: How dark is bitcoin given that its ledger of transactions is public, and given the recent identification of several hackers through chain analysis? Is bitcoin's privacy overestimated by bitcoiners? What chance does the average user have at remaining anonymous? Does bitcoin need to be anonymous to remain secure? Can bitcoin survive government attack if most coins' owners are known to governments?ResourcesGiacomo on TwitterGiacomo's article on the history of bitcoin as a privacy-focussed project.Giacomo's article on common misconceptions about bitcoin privacy, and why privacy matters.For further discussion of the relationship between hard and dark money, see Giacomo's conversation with Stephan Livera.Interview where Giacomo rates the top 20 cryptocurrencies and makes the case that every project that isn't bitcoin is a scam. Saifedean's first book, The Bitcoin Standard.Saifedean's second book, The Fiat Standard.

“Hard times make strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” - Giacomo Zucco Today's read is another amazing article from Vol 3 of The Bitcoin Times.

Location: Squadcast Date: Thursday 24th September Company: BHB Network & Blockstream Role: Director & Marketing Director Bitcoin can be a toxic place. Ask the wrong question or fall on the wrong side of an argument; the community can be vicious in its response. It is a daunting place with Bitcoiners not only clashing with altcoin projects but with each other regarding Bitcoin ideas too. Rarely a day passes without a fight of some kind exploding on Twitter. However, toxicity plays an important role. Bitcoin is a threat to the legacy financial system, and being decentralised; anyone can contribute. Bitcoin is therefore open to a broad range of attacks from technical to social and Bitcoin's immune system defends against these attacks to protect the protocol. Segwit2x highlighted how a group might choose to co opt Bitcoin with dangerous consequences. Radical scepticism is levelled against other projects, people and companies to ensure that no outside party can have a negative influence on the future of the best money we have ever had. So, what are the positives and negatives of toxicity in Bitcoin? When does toxicity cross the line and are there any unintended consequences?  In this interview, I am joined by Bitcoin consultant and educator Giacomo Zucco and Neil Woodfine, Marketing Director for Blockstream. We discuss toxic Bitcoin maximalism, unintended consequences and politics within Bitcoin.

"As we conclude our “Discovering Bitcoin” series, we will build on the use of digital signatures and of the CoinJoin paradigm to explore concepts of unique chronology, mining fees and off-chain transactions." - Giacomo Zucco The conclusion of the amazing "Discovering Bitcoin" series, starting from cavemen and the very concept of hardness all the way to off-chain payments and the Lightning network! Listen to the entire series for the conceptual history of money, its virtualization, its corruption, its redesign, and the new paradigm we are now entering.

"While it was pretty difficult for him to take over the very decentralized process of people exchanging gold nuggets, there are now a few big, public, trusted, vulnerable entities he can easily seize control of." - Giacomo Zucco Continuing the excellent series of Discovering Bitcoin, this is an awesome set of articles covering thousands of years of monetary history and evolution all the way to The Lightning Network. Today's part is "A Wrong Turn," breaking down the process of innovating money to solve the "scaleness" problem, that ended up putting at huge risk of control and corruption, the "hardness" and "darkness" of our money.

"The goods that fare better in hardness, scaleness and darkness will compete, and the first one to reach a critical mass will start swallowing the others, as far as monetary uses are concerned." - Giacomo Zucco Continuing with the excellent series from Giacomo and Bitcoin Magazine, "Discovering Bitcoin: From Cavemen to the Lightning Network," we dive into Part 3 - Introducing Money. Building of the base concepts of savings in order to acquire time, of durability in a good to store that time, to investment in order to create greater productivity, and then to exchange and specialization, we finally introduce the ultimate good enabling cooperation on a massive scale, Money.

“In order to be useful for this kind of process, a good must possess a good “hardness”: Any unit of said good should not significantly lose its ability to provide utility if stored over some period of time.” - Giacomo Zucco Beginning an excellent introductory series into the ideas behind Bitcoin from the broadest spectrum available, taking us through the history of value from Cavemen all the way to the Lightning Network.

"It is the digital equivalent of your physical bank sending private investigators to follow your every move for days after you withdraw cash at the ATM, and then freezing or confiscating your bank account entirely if that PI comes back with a report that says that “you may have,” with some probability, engaged in controversial actions with that cash." - Giacomo Zucco A great closing the Giacomo's Treatise on Bitcoin and Privacy at Bitcoin Magazine.

Location: Skype Date: Friday, 13th March Project: BHB Network Role: Director COVID-19 continues to spread around the world. 169,717 people are now infected, and the death toll stands at 6,518. The virus is highly contagious, making containment incredibly tricky. As the seriousness of the situation escalates, countries around the world are implementing strict controls on movement and contact. The COVID-19 coronavirus originated in China, where the number of cases has now risen to over 80,000. As the virus has taken hold, the Chinese Communist Party has implemented draconian measures. Despite criticism, the aggressive use of quarantine appears to have been effective in reducing the spread of infections. The number of reported daily new cases in China has dropped from almost 2,000 per day a few weeks ago, to less than 20 at the time of writing. Italy now has the highest number of cases outside of China, with over 25,000 testing positive. A nationwide lockdown is in effect, with police and soldiers enforcing the quarantine conditions, and on the 15th of March, the EU recorded the highest number of deaths in a single day so far. Giacomo Zucco is a Bitcoiner who is currently under lockdown in Italy. In this interview, he explains what life is like on lockdown, the measures that have been put in place, how he thinks the governments around the world have dealt with this pandemic and why he believes centralised planning is poorly suited for dealing with the crisis.
