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.

Can Bitcoin Really Support Musicians? Did you know that musicians on Spotify get paid anywhere between 0.003¢ or 0.005¢, so less than half a penny every single time a song gets streamed? So think about that. You'd have to get a 100,000 plays just to make $100. That's ridiculousFrom playing in a punk band as a kid to becoming a tech entrepreneur and eventually integrating Bitcoin into his music career. We explore the concept of value for value and how platforms like Wave Lake, Nostr, and Fountain are revolutionizing the way artists and content creators get paid. The Higher Low explains how these platforms allow fans to directly support artists with small Bitcoin transactions, bypassing traditional gatekeepers like record labels and streaming services.We also touch on the future of music and streaming services, discussing whether platforms like Spotify and Tidal will adopt Bitcoin and value for value models. Importance of having multiple revenue streams and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way.If you're a musician or content creator looking to learn more about integrating Bitcoin into your workflow, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice. Enjoy!"The Higher Low freaking rocked our NOSTR Satoshi Rockamoto party in Riga. Super catchy acoustic punk tunes about the Bitcoin culture! It was an awesome way to kick off the party. I highly recommend booking him to play at your Bitcoin conference. The dude is rad and does not disappoint." - Mike Jarmuz, Managing Partner, Lightning⚡️Ventures.

Be it a “financial revolution” or a “delusion,” Bitcoins seem to be getting more and more acceptance. The US securities regulator giving green light for the first Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), is being seen as a turning point in the short history of cryptocurrencies. ETFs poured in from giants like BlackRock,Fidelity, Franklin  Invesco. With institutions stepping in, will Bitcoin finally face its real test of being a true asset class? Will regulation reduce volatility or will it throttle the rise? And will India take its cue from the US?

Josh Kogler has operated Rockin' K General Contracting since 2016. From a young age, Josh has had a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Whether it was catching as many flies in the house as he could (because his Dad paid one penny per dead fly), starting an automotive detailing business at the age of 15, or working a myriad of side jobs, he never shied away from the challenges. Josh gets to live on a wonderful farm with 2 dogs, 3 kitties, 4 pigs, 6 goats, 3 steers, not sure how many chickens, and most importantly, his amazing wife. He loves the life he has built, and he loves that he is able to bring his mindset and skills into the lives of so many. He's always ready to embrace the challenges that each project brings and hopefully instill some knowledge and can-do-attitudes along the way!
