Web3 Academy: Exploring Utility In NFTs, DAOs, Crypto & The Metaverse
In this episode, we're joined by Pete Rizzo, OG Bitcoin historian, and host of Supply Shock, to unpack a growing trend no one's watching closely enough: Bitcoin treasury companies. From MicroStrategy's playbook to a wave of new IPOs, this might be the next mania phase just dressed in a suit and traded on the stock market.~~~~~
Pete Rizzo Thinks We're Losing Bitcoin's History. I'm Helping Him Fix That.Pete Rizzo's been called Bitcoin's historian — and after this conversation, you'll understand why.He's spent the past few years diving deep into the stories, people, and drama that built Bitcoin from nothing into a global force. We talk about that work — the threads, the archives, the stories that never made it into the headlines — and how much of our history is already at risk of being forgotten.This one goes deep: early Mt. Gox days, the Silk Road fallout, Ross Ulbricht, Julian Assange, the Dragon's Den Slack channel, Bitcoin IRC logs, and even a theory that maybe Satoshi was Julian himself. There's a lot here — from serious analysis to our own untold stories.We also get personal: Rizzo opens up about why preserving this history became his mission, and I share how prison, books, and a Muslim roommate changed how I see the world — and Bitcoin.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Pete Rizzo's “Bitcoin Legends” Twitter threadsThe Genesis Book by Jonathan BierThe Satoshi Affair by Andrew O'HaganAssange's RubberHose encryption protocolBlockworks' Supply Shock PodcastFollow Pete:Twitter/X: @pete_rizzo_Podcast: Supply ShockQuotes:"Bitcoin is the only asset where history actually matters — and yet we're letting it disappear." "We treated Ross like a pariah. Now he's a symbol. That didn't happen overnight.""People think Bitcoin started with Satoshi. It didn't. It started with the people who kept it alive after Satoshi left.""When I left prison, I was at zero — actually, below zero. But I came out with the most valuable thing: stories."

Grande clamore attorno al documetario HBO che sostiene di avere svelato l'identità di Satoshi Nakamoto. Lo commentiamo per voi sottolineando perché le presunte rivelazioni sono solo una pericolosa fiction.Inoltre: vi portiamo in esclusiva all'interno del Global Bitcoin Summit 2024 organizzato dalla Human Rights Foundation, un luogo dove importanti attivisti da tutto il mondo si sono incontrati per discutere sull'utilizzo di Bitcoin, e l'ex capo del Retail Marketing di Apple David Bailey racconta in un'intervista a Bitcoin Train cosa serve a Bitcoin per raggiungere l'adozione di massa.
Join author Mark Goodwin as he explores the concept of the Bitcoin-Dollar in his new book, uncovering a new economic monomyth. Dive into the world of cryptocurrency and economics with this thought-provoking read.Explore the concept of the Bitcoin-Dollar in this thought-provoking video by Mark Goodwin. Learn about this new economic monomyth.The Bitcoin-Dollar: An Economic MonomythBy Mark GoodwinHear it Here - https://adbl.co/4dbk0bI00:00:00 An Economic Monomyth 00:01:16 The Birth of the Bitcoin-Dollar00:07:03 But in 2007, there was Ben Bernanke00:16:22 Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin00:24:18 Nearly four times as much profit was generatedhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN7BC98Q Money is a technological tool that communicates settlement between parties. The ultimate goal of money is to transmit trust within context, typically over time and over space. The distinction of the need for value settlement between time and space has allowed for a separation between commodity and currency. The dollar has arguably been the closest we have seen to succeeding at both of these tasks until the launch of Bitcoin at the start of 2009. The transitional period we will experience is simply the current iteration of an eternal concept of humans and money – an economic monomyth. If this book could have been written without using the words dollar or bitcoin, it would have. Yet an economic system that grows and regulates itself purely by the actions of its participants and not its rulers distorts the status quo. Bitcoin is a state change of money, settlement, and economic policy that takes us out from underneath the poles of the currency and commodity dichotomy.“In a world where money is abundant, you will find your freedoms are not. Consider the implications of The Bitcoin-Dollar.”—HodlMagoo, Bitcoin Nym“A sobering look at how Bitcoin could evolve to interact with our wider financial system, without the ‘Number Go Up' noise or cultish certainty of predestined domination.”—Shinobi, Bitcoin Researcher and Author“A novel meditation on the implications of a world defined by competing Bitcoin, crypto, and fiat financial systems, Goodwin's book is a timely addition to the canon. More than ever, Bitcoin is distinguishing itself as the world's first apolitical money. Goodwin is among the few writers exploring the implications of this powerful transformation.”—Pete Rizzo, Bitcoin Historian at Bitcoin Magazine“Mark Goodwin's The Bitcoin-Dollar comes at a critical time in Bitcoin's existence now that it has pierced the firmament of the mainstream. Chock full of easily recallable quotes from the likes of John Nash and Jorge Luis Borges, his book serves as a call to action by asking questions and providing potential answers for how Bitcoin might work in a world where the U.S. dollar will continue to exist. Goodwin achieves this through a smart, succinct dive into the idealism of Bitcoin and pairs it with a balanced, realistic view of the world that is sorely lacking elsewhere. Mandatory reading for the learned Bitcoiner and will remain on my desk for the foreseeable future.”—George Kaloudis, Senior Research Analyst at CoinDesk“The Bitcoin-Dollar gives an incredible overview of why Bitcoin won't replace the U.S. dollar system but will become the dollar system. A must-read for anyone interested in finance, economics, and the future of democracy.”—L0la L33tz, Author and Privacy AdvocateMark Goodwin is an author, journalist, photographer, and the current Editor-in-Chief of...

“We have to reach a technological supremacy; Bitcoin maximalism can't stay as an ideology… because the goal is to ultimately subsume everything that is possible with cryptocurrencies into the network for the benefit of people who own Bitcoin.”— Pete RizzoPete Rizzo is the editor of Bitcoin Magazine, and one of Bitcoin's leading journalists.

The Central Wetlands Reforestation Collective recently launched an initiative to plant 63,000 thousand trees in Orleans and St. Bernard Parishes. This is part of larger efforts to restore the bayou ecosystems that have been impacted by coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion and hurricanes. In October, we reported on the early stages of this project. Today, we check back in with Verite's Lue Palmer who recently attended a day of volunteer tree planting. Last month, we brought you the story of Theatre Baton Rouge, which was in danger of closing in its 78th season due to rising production costs and budget mismanagement. Since then, board members, volunteers and the theater's one full-time employee have come together to save the beloved institution — and have already broken their initial fundraising goal. Theatre Baton Rouge Board treasurer Pete Rizzo tells us how he helped balance the budget and volunteer costumer and Central High student Sammie Vaughan discusses her experience as a volunteer costumer. A professional trumpet player and New Orleans native is sharing his passion for the instrument with a new project, Girls Play Trumpets Too. His goal is to introduce young women to the trumpet and increase representation in a male-dominated field of the music industry. Founder Troy Sawyer joins us for more on the inspiration behind his new organization and what he hopes to accomplish. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

"Cryptocurrency market-isms are built on claims about the economic and computer science advances Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have achieved, and thus have a direct relationship to those claims. While some are the product entirely of fandom, others are more complex, attempting to both define a scientific position, and then encourage beliefs and conduct based on those claims." - Pete Rizzo Today we start a dive into Bitcoin Maximalism that we will expand on during this week. What is maximalism, is it just a group of arrogant, stubborn bullies on Twitter, or is it a set of principles around the defense and expansion of the Bitcoin only ecosystem? And how do we separate the ideology, from its self proclaimed proponents when they differ in practice? Rizzo covers this and more in a Forbes article on "How to Be a Bitcoin Maximalist."

“The problem that Bitcoin maximalism is trying to solve, is it's trying to get people to provide their human action to furthering Bitcoin and is trying to discourage them from building things where their financial incentives would be greater to do that elsewhere.”— Pete RizzoPete Rizzo is the editor of Bitcoin Magazine, and one of Bitcoin's leading journalists. In this interview, we discuss Bitcoin maximalism in terms of how it should be defined and rationalised, the moral lens of maximalists, and maximalism's advantages and limitations.- - - - Following our interview with Udi to discuss Bitcoin Maximalism, we now host another interview on the topic with Pete Rizzo. The two shows together designed to look at maximalism from alternative perspectives with this interview attempting to understand if a definition of maximalism possible or is it necessarily opaque and fluid.Bitcoin maximalism has long been discussed and has gone through numerous evolutions. WBD first did a podcast on maximalism 4 years ago. Since then, there has been a new wave of adoption, and with that a new wave of maximalists.Pete Rizzo outlines his definition of maximalism for the current cycle: all efforts should be focused on supporting and improving Bitcoin; investments in other cryptocurrencies should be discouraged and ignored. And the market's best method of policing this is the imposition of moral penalties on those working against maximalism.However, is there a contradiction within maximalism? In seeking to vehemently defend the integrity of Bitcoin, could it harm specific projects outside of Bitcoin that aim to provide unique and objectively useful utility? Or, is Bitcoin's mission so valuable that it can not afford to be nuanced, and therefore collateral damage is unavoidable?- - - - This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyBlockFi - The future of Bitcoin financial servicesBitcasino - The Future of Gaming is herePacific Bitcoin - Bitcoin‑only event, Nov 10 & 11, 2022Ledger - State of the art Bitcoin hardware walletCompass Mining - Bitcoin mining & hostingCake Wallet - Open-source, privacy-focused Bitcoin walletBCB Group - Global digital financial Services-----WBD532 - 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.

In seeking to vehemently defend the integrity of Bitcoin, could it harm specific projects outside of Bitcoin that aim to provide unique and objectively useful utility? Or, is Bitcoin's mission so valuable that it can not afford to be nuanced, and therefore collateral damage is unavoidable?
Pete Rizzo, Editor at Bitcoin Magazine and Editor-at-large at Kraken rejoins me on the show to talk about Bitcoin Maximalism. There has been some discussion recently on the role of the ‘toxic' Maximalists, and Pete has clarified some thinking on this in his recent article and discussion on this topic. We talk: What is Bitcoin Maximalism What do maximalists believe? Social and cultural arguments Technical aspects Is it still needed?

“We've swung very heavily towards putting bitcoin's asset on this pedestal, that Bitcoin is this asset that does not compete with anything, but it has these Invincible qualities. And I think that what we might find is that we've over-optimised for that.”— Pete RizzoPete Rizzo is the editor of Bitcoin Magazine, and one of the industries leading journalists. In this interview, we discuss the evolving narratives used by Bitcoin maximalists, fundamental questions of who Bitcoin is for and what it will be, and what lies beyond maximalism. - - - - The rise of Bitcoin, a new form of money, has been unprecedented. In just 13 years, Bitcoin has come from being another manifest innovation derived from ideas around cryptographic security, digital gold, and peer to peer cash, to an asset that is seriously being considered a new global reserve. Despite the genius behind Satoshi's design, this meteoric rise wasn't inevitable. The nascent currency has had to organically forge a defensive infrastructure to counteract and overcome various attack vectors. This saw the rise of Bitcoin maximalism, a highly effective yet divisive ideology. But, just as Bitcoin technology has evolved, so have the narratives that have been used to buttress the maximalist position. Bitcoin was once considered to be the best of a range of different blockchain technologies; now it is viewed as being distinct and unique. Some believe Bitcoin's rise is invincible, whilst others are scanning for the next inevitable threat. Maximalists' stories and beliefs have changed as Bitcoin's strengths and weaknesses have been realised over time. What does this mean for the future of maximalism? Indeed, do rudimentary questions about Bitcoin's purpose, role, and utility need to be reassessed? Does Bitcoin need a paranoid community to continue to strengthen its defences?

Location: New York Date: Wednesday 27th October Company: Kraken & Bitcoin Magazine Role: Editor The role of Bitcoin maximalism is a hugely divisive topic. As a decentralised network, Bitcoin has no leaders or spokespeople to counter false information or fend off an attack. In the absence of leaders, bitcoiners from all over have become an important immune system for the network. They protect the protocol from bad actors, false narratives and prevent anyone from gaining too much influence over the network. This has proved highly effective and has been key throughout the history of Bitcoin. Most notably during the scaling wars that culminated in 2017. However, for all the good toxic maximalism has done, it can, at times, go too far. But in a world headed to hyperbitcoinisation, is Bitcoin maximalism an important ethical stand to take? In this interview, I talk to Pete Rizzo, the Editor at Kraken & Bitcoin Magazine. We discuss the ethics of bitcoin maximalism, its role in protecting bitcoin, and the path to hyperbitcoinisation.
Location: Remotely Date: Wednesday 21st April Company: Kraken & Bitcoin Magazine Role: Editor Ten years ago, in April 2011, Satoshi Nakamoto sent his last known message to Mike Hearn, stating that he had "moved on to other things" and that Bitcoin was "in good hands". Satoshi left the development with Gavin Andresen and a group of contributors and left the Bitcoin community for good. At launch, Bitcoin was governed and developed entirely by Satoshi; it was centralised. To reach the level of decentralisation that Satoshi envisioned, Bitcoin couldn't have a leader that the community looked towards; instead, it needed to rely on peer review, debate and consensus. Satoshi, the mythical and mysterious leader, had to leave the project he founded. Pete Rizzo wrote The Last Days of Satoshi to answer the fundamental questions about Bitcoin's early history and its creator. How did he run the project? And why did he have to leave? In this episode, I talk to Pete Rizzo, the Editor at Kraken & Bitcoin Magazine. We discuss Satoshi's final days, his contribution to Bitcoin, the project's transition to decentralisation, and why his disappearance was inevitable.
