On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with author and transformation coach Chandra Lynn about her framework Root to Rise: How to Love Life. Chandra breaks down the five “root” areas (health, relationships/self, career, friends, family) and the six human needs adapted from Maslow to show how high achievers and everyday people get stuck in survival mode—and how to shift into purposeful, balanced living. You'll learn practical tools like the Emotional Triad, simple journaling prompts (“What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?”), and how defining your taproot (your why) becomes fuel for resilient action.   About the guest  : Chandra Lynn is the author of Root to Rise: How to Love Life, a certified transformation coach, and founder of GlowLiving. After 25 years leading marketing for brands like Apple and Mercedes, she built a method blending human needs psychology with soulful practices to help people cultivate resilience, balance, and purpose.   Key takeaways: Root to Rise framework: Balance five roots—health, relationship/self, career, friends, family—then align them with six human needs to exit survival mode and create fulfillment. Six human needs (adapted): Security/certainty, variety, connection/intimacy, growth, significance/self-worth, and transcendence/contribution. From overwhelm to clarity: Use three prompts—What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?—to prioritize healthy, meaningful action. Emotional Triad tool: Shift state by changing (1) physiology (move, breathe, sunlight), (2) focus (gratitude, possibility), and (3) meaning/self-talk (be your own best friend). Taproot = your why: Identify the deeper motivation that sustains momentum when discipline fades (e.g., showing up as the best parent/leader/creator). Embodied signals: Survival mode shows up as tension, sleep and appetite swings; fulfillment feels balanced, energized, and self-supportive. Journal to integrate: Ask great questions, write first, analyze later—let insight surface before you optimize. Update the blueprint: Release outdated childhood expectations; define success on present values, not social comparison.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://glowliving.com/ Signed book + 25% off (U.S. only): glowliving.etsy.com — use code THRIVE25 Also available on Amazon (international orders)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

"If you have this disconnect between Core devs that value one thing and the users that value something else, something's got to give at some point, right? Either you get developers that are more in line with the users or a lot of the other users kind of end up leaving and so on.So this is not a trivial concern and it's a big attacksurface and we've seen it in these communities where a lot of this political stuff enters and then next thing you know it gets completely sort of subsumed by that movement, by institutional capture, if you will.And that's not just true in open source software, it's true in every nonprofit organization and so on.This is a big problem."~ Jimmy Song Jimmy Song joins me for a deep dive into one of the most heated topics in Bitcoin today - the debate around Bitcoin Core, the OP_RETURN controversy, and the growing cultural divide within Bitcoin development. We explore whether Bitcoin's technical decisions have become political moves, and what “verify, don't trust” really means when trust itself starts eroding. We talk about Bitcoin's identity crisis between innovation and ossification - should Bitcoin keep evolving with new toys, or hold the line and protect what already works? We cover everything from Taproot's legacy to mining decentralization, censorship, left–right polarization in the dev community, and the spirit of cypherpunk independence. Most importantly, Jimmy challenges us to think for ourselves - to stop being clones of whoever we agree with, and to test every assumption against reality. Because Bitcoin's strength has never been in consensus for its own sake, but in the willingness to ask hard questions. Check out our awesome sponsors!

My guest today is Max Hillebrand, praxeologist, cypherpunk, and open-source advocate dedicated to building freedom tech that empowers individuals through economic and technological sovereignty. As a contributor to projects like Bitcoin Core, Wasabi Wallet, BTCPay Server, JoinMarket, Lightning Network, Bisq, Angor, White Noise, and Amethyst. In this episode, Max shares his journey from Austrian economics into Bitcoin privacy, recounting how tools like CoinJoins, Wasabi, and the Taproot upgrade push Bitcoin closer to true anonymity. We explore the battle between fiat and freedom, the broken incentives of inflation and war, and why opting into Bitcoin is both a moral imperative and a form of resistance. Max also introduces Nostr as the communications layer for a censorship-resistant future, explains the axioms of human action, argumentation ethics, and resistance, and highlights why he believes we now have the technological weapons to end modern financial slavery in our lifetime.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Yirmibir Bitcoin Podcast'in "Bitcoin ve İslam" serisinin "Bitcoin Only" serisinin 3. bölümüne hoş geldiniz [Başlangıç talimatı].Bu bölümde, Bitcoin dışındaki kripto para birimlerinin karşı karşıya olduğu etik sorunlara odaklanıyoruz. Genellikle göz ardı edilen bu problemler, yeni bir kripto projenin başlangıcında paraların nasıl dağıtıldığı ve kurucuların para politikası üzerindeki kontrolü etrafında yoğunlaşıyor. Hedef riba sorununu çözmekse, az sayıda kişiyi başkaları aleyhine haksız yere zenginleştiren bir alternatif yaratmak çelişkili olacaktır.Birçok kripto projesi, Bitcoin'in sınırlamalarını aşma iddiasıyla bir kurucu ekibiyle başlıyor. "Airdrop"lar ve "tokenomik"ler gibi dağıtım stratejileriyle, kuruculara, geliştiricilere ve erken yatırımcılara çok sayıda coin tahsis edilir. Geleneksel finanstan esinlenen İlk Coin Arzları (ICO'lar), şirketlerin dijital token satarak fon toplamasını sağlar. Ancak ICO'lar, yatırımcılara anlamlı güvenceler sunmadan yüksek riskli token'lar satarak düzenleyici boşlukları sömürür. Michael Flaxman'ın belirttiği gibi, ICO'larda likidasyon tercihleri veya uzun vadeli hak ediş programları gibi standart yatırımcı korumaları yoktur. Bu yapı, projenin terk edilmesiyle perakende yatırımcıları değersiz token'larla bırakan ahlaki tehlikeler yaratır ve dolandırıcıları cezbeder.Son yıllarda "meme coin"ler gibi daha nihilizm içeren trendler ortaya çıktı. Bu coin'ler, kullanım değeri iddiasında bulunmaz; tamamen spekülasyon amaçlıdır ve erken yatırımcılar tarafından "pompalandıktan" sonra şüphelenmeyen perakende yatırımcılara "dump" edilir. Sam Callahan, "premine" adı verilen yöntemle içeriden kişilerin sıfır maliyetle aldıkları coin'leri, projenin popülerleşmesiyle perakende yatırımcılara sattığını açıklar. Bu yapay dağıtım süreçleri, içeriden kişilere başkaları aleyhine fayda sağlayacak şekilde tasarlanmıştır, bu da tartışmasız bir şekilde etik dışıdır.Bitcoin, bu etik sorunların aksine konumlanmıştır. Genesis'inde ne bir "premine" ne de bir ICO vardı. Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin'i herkes gibi madencilik yaparak elde etti ve başkalarının katılımını bekledi. Bitcoin, kurumsal değil, organik olarak ortaya çıktı.Diğer kripto paraların aksine, Bitcoin'in bir lideri yoktur. Satoshi, protokolü oluşturduktan sonra projenin gerçekten tarafsız olmasını sağlamak için ayrıldı. Andrew Bailey ve Craig Warmke'nin belirttiği gibi, bu liderliksiz durum, Bitcoin'i daha sağlam ve dayanıklı kılar; merkezi bir bankası veya CEO'su yoktur.Ayrıca, diğer kripto para birimlerindeki protokoldaki değişiklikler genellikle çoğunluk oyuyla veya merkezi otoritelerin kararlarıyla zorla uygulanırken (örneğin Ethereum DAO hack'i ve ETH arz politikasındaki değişiklikler), Bitcoin etik olarak kullanıcılara muhalefet etme özgürlüğü tanır. SegWit veya Taproot gibi yükseltmeler geriye dönük uyumludur, yani kullanıcılar isterlerse kabul etmeyebilirler ve yine de fikir birliğine katılabilirler. Pete Rizzo'nun vurguladığı gibi, Bitcoin'de kullanıcılar para haklarını pazarın takdirine bırakmak zorunda kalmadan istenmeyen özelliklere itiraz edebilirler.Bazı İslami finans uygulayıcılarının Bitcoin'in ilk dağıtımının haksız olduğu iddialarına rağmen, Bitcoin'in lansmanı mümkün olduğunca adil ve şeffaftı. İslam, zenginliğin mutlak eşit dağılımını değil, adil dağılımını hedefler.Sonuç olarak, diğer kripto para projeleri kurucu etkileri, token dağıtım modelleri ve yönetim uygulamaları nedeniyle etik sorunlarla doluyken, Bitcoin adil başlangıcı, liderliksiz gelişimi ve kullanıcı özerkliğine saygısıyla öne çıkıyor. Bitcoin, bu etik tuzaklardan uzaktır ve İslami ilkelere uygun, gerçekten etik para temsil etmektedir.Kaynak

Hunter Beast is the author of BIP 360: a proposal that seeks to provide quantum resistance to Bitcoin, to prevent powerful computer builders from brute forcing arbitrary addresses to steal the funds. But is the quantum threat real? Does the number of qubits really make a difference when the quantum computer is general purpose? Shouldn't other industries outside of Bitcoin, especially governments and banks, be worried about the fragility of elliptic curve cryptography? In this episode, we'll try to answer some of these questions and also refer to Hunter Beast's previous experience with building RGB for Bitcoin tokens. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Time stamps: 01:08 - Introducing Hunter Beast 01:27 - BIP 360 and Quantum Resistance Hunter Beast introduces BIP 360, aimed at making Bitcoin resistant to quantum computing threats, a hot topic due to predictions of advanced quantum computers potentially breaking ECDSA signatures. 02:19 - Defining Bitcoin's Quantum Threat Quantum computing is institutional, not accessible to average Bitcoiners, making verification difficult. The threat is existential but not immediate, though warnings suggest proximity. 03:58 - U.S. Government Warnings U.S. government and institutions are preparing for quantum resistance by 2030, urging upgrades to protect against potential cryptographic breaks. 05:53 - Consensus Challenges Hard forks ensure UTXO migration but face consensus issues; soft forks are preferred, but coins must move to quantum-resistant addresses to avoid vulnerabilities. 06:38 - Bitcoin's Quantum Vulnerabilities Taproot, reused addresses, mempool-published data, and exposed public keys are vulnerable. ~90% of reused address coins are active, reducing concern, but Taproot needs upgrades. 09:41 - BIP 360 Solution for Taproot BIP 360 focuses narrowly on fixing Taproot's vulnerability to long-exposure attacks, enabling wallets to commit to multiple scripts, including quantum-resistant ones like SLHDSA. 13:07 - Signature Schemes ECDSA is Bitcoin's weak point. Lamport and Winternitz signatures are flawed (one-time use), but SLHDSA (using a hypertree of Winternitz signatures) allows secure address reuse. 17:10 - User Experience Impact BIP 360 minimizes changes to user experience, offering opt-in quantum-resistant scripts. Wallets could include security dials, but defaults remain familiar. 20:14 - Transaction Size and Costs Post-quantum signatures are larger (4-8k bytes), but address commitments are minimal (~34 bytes). Block size increases aren't necessary; solutions like Bitzip could scale transactions. 22:27 – Sideshift.ai 23:17 - Drivechains and Layer Two Labs Drivechains offer secure sidechain solutions, decentralizing custody and scaling Bitcoin. Testing is available on Signet, with Litecoin considering implementation. 29:48 - Bitcoin Ossification Debate Ossification (resistance to change) vs. necessary upgrades debated. Quantum threats may force changes as Bitcoin secures more value, despite opposition. 36:36 - Conspiracy Theory Counter Concerns about government-driven fear dismissed; BIP 360 is opt-in, only used if quantum threats emerge, preserving user choice. 54:26 - Quantum Computing Progress IBM's Condor has 1,121 qubits; breaking ECDSA needs ~20M qubits. With quantum advancements outpacing Moore's Law, upgrades are prudent within a decade. 59:58 - Sponsor Plugs Citrea (ZK rollup for Bitcoin financial apps) and Edge Wallet (duress mode, multi-coin support) highlighted. 01:02:30 - BIP 360 Number Selection BIP 360 assigned by reviewers, not chosen by Hunterbeast, reserved for quantum-related proposals. 01:06:04 - BIP 360 Reception from Core Devs Mixed feedback from reviewers like Ava Chow (called it “stupid” but provided useful critique). Still in draft at bip360.org, open for review. 01:11:29 - Unintended Consequences BIP 360 is minimal, unlikely to cause surprises like Taproot's ordinal inscriptions, as it enhances existing functionality. 01:12:42 - Is Quantum Resistance Perishable and Needs Updates? BIP 360 isn't definitive; periodic updates may be needed as quantum computers advance, requiring a proactive Bitcoin culture. 01:19:12 - NoOnes, Bitcoin.com, 01:21:46 - Best Practices for Quantum Safety Avoid address reuse, use native SegWit (BC1Q) addresses, don't expose Xpubs, and consider private mempools like MARA Slipstream for large transactions. 01:24:27 - Closing Remarks Gratitude to Hunter Beast for discussing BIP 360 and quantum threats, wishing success for the proposal.

In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, Max and Q delve into the latest happenings in the world of Bitcoin and privacy. They discuss the current state of Bitcoin's value and the surprising low transaction fees despite its high price, reflecting on the implications for mass adoption and self-custody. They also explore the technical intricacies of Ashigaru's new Whirlpool implementation, addressing privacy concerns and the potential for malicious coordinators. The conversation touches on the importance of layered privacy and the role of tools like Monero swaps and Lightning channels in enhancing user security.Max and Q highlight recent software updates, including the release of Envoy 2.0, Cake Wallet's new features, and the introduction of FrostSnap, a new consumer-ready product for Taproot multisig. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the benefits of multisig, the potential of Frost technology, and the ongoing developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

In this episode Will speaks with Haley Bezon, founder and executive director of Hearty Roots—a nonprofit nature-based wellness organization serving youth in Maine. Drawing on her own lived experience with mental health and a diverse work background in education and wilderness therapy, Haley shares how Hearty Roots was born from a desire to reimagine mental health care for children. Frustrated by the long waitlists and barriers many families face in Maine, she built a program that brings therapy outdoors—where kids heal through connection, movement, and the steady presence of caring mentors. Listeners will hear how Hearty Roots blends evidence-based social-emotional learning with the simplicity of time in nature—whether it's hiking, paddling, or gathering around a fire. Haley describes their Taproot program, which replaces traditional office therapy with outdoor, trauma-informed sessions led by licensed clinicians, and she emphasizes the importance of proactive mental health care before crises arise. For parents in Maine and beyond who are overwhelmed by limited options or seeking more human-centered support for their children, this episode offers both inspiration and a real-world solution grounded in nature, community, and heart.
