“The whole point is that we have enough self-custody to where the system remains permissionless so that we don't turn into digital gold 2.0. That's the whole point. Maybe that's 20% of all Bitcoin, maybe that's 30%. I have no idea. But it needs to be as much as we could possibly make it based on the consumer utility trade-offs.”— Eric YakesEric Yakes is the author of ‘The 7th Property'. In this interview, we discuss how a Bitcoin native banking system could evolve, predicated on a practical vision where not everyone will be able or willing to self-custody. Eric has theorised how Fedimints may form the basis for a new digital age of free banking, and the risks and opportunities this would present. - - - - As Bitcoin is a new form of money, then it stands to reason that it could become the basis for a new global monetary system. Yet, it is not a certainty that this will happen. And how it may manifest is far from settled. Eric Yakes is one of the leading thinkers on this topic. His ideas around how Bitcoin banking may develop are evolving to respect the central tenets of Bitcoin's ideology, whilst making pragmatic allowances for real-world constraints.The principal issue for Bitcoin banking is the provision of custody. 2022 gave everyone clear grounds to promote cold storage. However, with widescale adoption, there will still be significant demand for third-party custody solutions. Therefore, one must consider which custody solutions maximise trust. Fedimint provides such an alternative where trust is federated, with the intention that this federation is a known community. Fedimint is not only a custody solution, it is also a means for issuing value. A Fedimint can issue Ecash against the held Bitcoin. This Ecash acts as a bearer instrument that can be stored on mobile phones, with the privacy characteristics of physical cash. Ecash could also be transferred via the Lightning Network. This opens up the possibility of a quantum of decentralized federations developing and operating akin to the free banking era of the 19th century.There are issues. Third-party custody in any form involves risk. There will be occasions when trust is broken, Bitcoin is lost and innocent people are affected. There are also risks associated with a rise in fractional reserve banking, and questions over the issuance of credit through such systems. However, as Eric Yakes asserts, if Bitcoin is to be more than Gold 2.0 and become the basis for a global monetary system, then these are risks that need to be faced. - - - - This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyIris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.

“Bitcoin's an intelligence test, but it's also an epistemic humility test. You don't have to know everything about Bitcoin, nobody knows everything about Bitcoin. The question is, do you pretend you know when you don't? And if you do you'll be exposed.”— Troy CrossTroy Cross is a Professor of Philosopher and Fellow at BPI, & Shaun Connell is Executive VP of Power at Lancium & energy trading expert. In this interview, we discuss the evolution of the Bitcoin mining and energy debate: how Bitcoin mining has weathered the storm of FUD over its energy usage to become a tool that fixes an ever-increasing number of energy-related issues. - - - - Roy Sheinfeld, CEO of Breez, last week used the following analogy to highlight expanding knowledge of the Lightning Network's application: "The first industrial use of steam engines was to pump water out of mines, but nobody talks about that because the engines were stationary and hidden in the dark. Three generations later, inventors started adding wheels to the engines. Setting that power free and bringing it into the light made everyone take notice, and that's when steam changed everything."The same applies to the whole Bitcoin ecosystem, particularly in relation to Bitcoin mining. Since 2019, there has been a growing realisation that Bitcoin provides a multitude of benefits to producers, operators and consumers of energy. There are also an increasing number of ancillary applications being realised in other areas. So, is it time for Bitcoiners to become more emboldened in their advocacy of Bitcoin mining?There's an available body of evidence showing the important role that Bitcoin mining is playing in supporting Texas's energy grid. It is right to state that some of the resultant conclusions seem counterintuitive i.e. how can an energy user assist with energy supply? However, it merely takes an open mind, a willingness to question, and a capacity to learn, to realise that Bitcoin mining provides an important societal good.Paradigm shifts are always met with suspicion. The issue is we're on the right side of history. Therefore, should we use someone's views on Bitcoin mining as a test of their intelligence and humility? Is it time to be more assertive in responding to those who refuse to believe their eyes and ears? After all, they are the ones who refuse to be humble. - - - - This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyLedn - Financial services for Bitcoin hodlersBitcasino - The Future of Gaming is hereLedger - State of the art Bitcoin hardware walletCasa - The leading provider of Bitcoin multisig key securityWasabi Wallet - Privacy by default-----WBD619 - 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.

"Furthermore, when Bitcoiners develop privacy and scaling technology for Bitcoin, we make it substantially more challenging for anti-coiners to make the case that a war on Bitcoin is winnable. When more of us demonstrate the unmatched power of Lightning Network payments in small nations, influential legislators and bankers in the U.S. take note and are far less likely to support an adversarial strategy towards Bitcoin." - Cory Klippsten For read 700 we take ourselves to the Swan Bitcoin blog with an excellent call to arms by CEO Cory Klippsten. A call to do everything we can in the race to Bitcoin adoption, to stave off what would likely be a long, painful conflict with the current money printing establishment.

Chatting with Candice Justin Rezvani Episode Run Time: 33:19Justin Rezvani is the CEO and founder of Zion, the world's first decentralized social network built on Bitcoin. In his book Unapologetic Freedom, Justin shares his vision for the future of social media and communication, where creators and communities can interact directly without fear of censorship through The Lightning Network.00:00 Introducing Justin02:19 Zion: A decentralized social platform09:08 Censorship and community management12:03 Bitcoin and the Lightning Network14:15 The new social media algorithm: staking19:43 Can Twitter be saved?24:22 Online freedom and sovereignty27:42 Cryptocurrency VS Central Bank Digital Currency31:57 Where to find JustinThe Current State of the InternetCentralized social media platforms are free for use, but the caveat is that users have no ownership over their identities, content, and audiences. These can all be taken away without explanation, causing a massive domino effect in our online lives. Another way in which social media affects us is through algorithms. Social media companies encourage polarization in order to sustain users' attention. Unhealthy environments may emerge, but they pay no mind as long as they can maximize profit from advertisers. There are no real consequences for bad behavior online either, which further dehumanizes our online interactions. Freedom and Sovereignty Through Decentralization  Zion seeks to fix the problems of traditional social media by allowing direct relationships between creators and audiences. Users will have full ownership over their identities, content, and audiences. Zion is built on Bitcoin, a decentralized cryptocurrency. Through the Lightning Network, payments are settled instantly and privately without any middlemen.On Zion, every interaction is tied to your wallet. You can monetize posted content but you can also be fined for spam or hate comments. There are incentives and disincentives for every action taken on the platform. Instead of one governing body, Zion is made up of several communities that each have their own moderators. Although Zion will be a paid service, users will get to reclaim their online freedom of speech and payment. Links and Resources:Zion WebsiteUnapologetic FreedomJustin's TwitterJustin's InstagramMeta-DescriptionJustin Rezvani, founder of Zion and author of Unapologetic Freedom, talks about what the future of social media should be like.

In this episode, David is joined by John Light of Sovryn and Eric Wall, who moonlights David on the Bitcoin technical details throughout the interview. The three go over the bull case for ZK-Rollups on Bitcoin. It's undoubtedly the frontier. ------

“Imagine the Lightning Network being very similar to the energy system itself and how it moves money, where every physical node now has its own node in the Lightning Network. And when energy moves in one direction, money moves in the other, basically what we're creating is a system where money can move as fast as energy.”— Austin MitchellAustin Mitchell is the Co-Founder and CEO of Synota. In this interview, we discuss his plan to use the Lightning Network to settle transactions in the energy industry, and how this should bring greater equality to the energy market whilst also enabling the whole energy economy to move to the Lightning Network.- - - - Bitcoin is prospectively the best version of money, worldwide instant payments rail, market-based accelerant for energy production, and energy grid stabiliser. It's infuriating that more people aren't waking up to its potential. Perhaps it's the FUD, the passive damage caused by dysfunction in the crypto industry, or the ignorance of there being bitcoin the money and Bitcoin the network. But Bitcoin's story is still being written; as many keep saying - it's still early. We all know that there are nascent layer 2 innovations that are taking Bitcoin in new directions. But even hardened advocates continue to be amazed at the use cases being developed using Bitcoin's various characteristics. Take the Lightning Network: the game-changing payment protocol. It is the layer that enables Bitcoin to scale. But what does that actually mean? Well, quite a lot. Bitcoin is fast becoming an integral part of the energy industry. In addition to the known functions comes a new one: the Lightning Network's instant settlement facility and distributed payment network is set to transform energy finance. The current system is predicated on old analogue payment processes, full of inefficiencies that unnecessarily bloat costs for producers and consumers. The prize is a real-time payment system that simplifies energy finance whilst enabling greater functionality. It could make the market more flexible, dynamic and equitable. The result could be that it draws the whole energy economy onto the Lightning Network.It's a lightbulb moment given how big that industry is: $4.5 trillion is spent on energy a year. There are additional services that could be included. The lightbulb fuses when you think about what other industries could find similar utility. The lightbulb explodes when you remember Lightning is just one of many layer 2 innovations.
