Merhaba dinleyiciler. Bugün, üzerine düşündüğümüzde bizi derinden etkileyebilecek bir konuya, Bitcoin'in felsefi öğretilerine değiniyoruz. Kaynaklarımıza göre, Bitcoin sadece bir teknoloji değil, aynı zamanda dünya görüşümüzü değiştiren bir "oyun kılığına girmiş" bir "geçit" olarak tanımlanıyor.Bitcoin'in iki temel yönü var: merkeziyetsizlik ve değişmezlik. Bu kaynak, ilginç bir şekilde, sizin Bitcoin'i değiştiremeyeceğinizi, ancak Bitcoin'in sizi değiştireceğini öne sürüyor. Bitcoin'in yaratıcısı Satoshi Nakamoto, ilk sürüm yayımlandıktan sonra temel tasarımın "taşa kazındığını" biliyordu. Bu anlayış, zaman tercihimizi, ekonomik düşüncemizi ve hatta siyasi görüşlerimizi etkileyebilir.Teknolojinin her şeyi bollaştırdığı bir çağda, Bitcoin bize gerçek kıtlığın ne olduğunu öğretiyor. Arzı şişirilemeyen yeni bir varlık yaratıyor ve bu kıtlığı tuhaf bir şekilde kopyalama ve dağıtım yoluyla başarıyor.Bitcoin'in kusursuz başlangıç hikayesi, Satoshi Nakamoto'nun anonimliği ve ortadan kaybolması, merkeziyetsizliği için hayati önem taşıyor. Bu, kontrol edilebilecek merkezi bir otoritenin olmamasını sağlıyor ve anlatısı hayatta kalması için kritik.Bu paylaşımdaki fikirler, kimlik problemine de değiniyor; Bitcoin, Theseus'un Gemisi gibi, kod değişse veya ağ çatallansa bile hangi Bitcoin'in "gerçek" olduğu sorusunu gündeme getiriyor. Merkeziyetsizlik, tek bir otoritenin meşru zinciri belirlemesini imkansız kılıyor, bu da kararın piyasaya veya ağın konsensüsüne bırakıldığı anlamına geliyor.Bitcoin'inizin tam olarak "nerede" olduğu sorusu da karmaşık. Teknik olarak ayrı "bitcoinler" mevcut değil; bunlar dağıtılmış bir defterdeki harcanmamış işlem çıktısı (UTXO) girişleridir. Sahip olduğunuz şey, bu girişleri "hareket ettirmek" için kullandığınız özel anahtarlarınızdır. Bu, yerelliğin dijital dünyada ne kadar zorlayıcı bir kavram olduğunu gösteriyor.Bitcoin'in her yönü metindir ve bu nedenle konuşmaya eşdeğerdir. Bu, ifade özgürlüğünün olduğu bir toplumda, metin alışverişine dayanan bir fikrin durdurulamaz olduğu anlamına gelir.Son olarak, Bitcoin'i öğrenmek bilginin sınırlarını gösteriyor. Tam olarak anlamak sadece bilgisayar bilimi değil, politika, ekonomi, tarih, kriptografi gibi birçok farklı disiplini bir araya getirmeyi gerektirir. Bu, ne kadar az şey bildiğimizi fark etmemizi sağlayan "dipsiz bir tavşan deliğidir". Bitcoin, sadece teknolojik bir gelişme değil, geniş kapsamlı sonuçları olan, sınırları olmayan bir sistemdir.Kaynak

A Future of Finance interview with Ciarán McGonagle, Chief Legal & Product Officer at Tokenovate.Tokenovate delivers post-trade automation for derivatives and securities finance trades. Chief Legal and Product Officer Ciarán McGonagle speaks to Future of Finance's Bob Currie about how the company is applying blockchain and smart contract technology to build a financial ecosystem that is automated, resilient and efficient.Representing a financial product as a bundle of rights and obligations governed by conditional logic, McGonagle reflects on the flexibility offered by smart contracts in managing the cash flows, transfers of ownership and other lifecycle events associated with these contracts. He explains how Tokenovate's unused transaction output (UTXO)-based model shapes the legal remedies available to asset owners in case of legal dispute or misappropriation – and how this may differ from other flavours of blockchain.Drawing on his previous experience working at ISDA, McGonagle discusses how Tokenovate is applying the common domain model (CDM) to translate standard representation of key trade terms into real-world systems and workflows. In closing, he reflects on how the company is contributing to public policy formation and potential outcomes from its representations in Washington and Brussels, its work with financial regulators and its participation at New York Climate Week.

"The last thing we should want to do is the government to print up a bunch of money, which steals from the poor, so that they can buy Bitcoin to enrich us. Or fill up the SBR by seizing coins, which is basically what it is now. The real adoption comes from people actually using it, from individuals and businesses creating circular economies, trading goods and services, increasing the velocity. This is what real Bitcoin adoption is all about." ~ UTXO The irony of posting on Twitter, how Nostr isn't decentralized enough, is not lost on UTXO. He's back! UTXO and I have a much needed catch up on the many projects he has been building and explore the ups and down of Nostr, why its so misunderstood, the state of Ai and how it is changing the market, and how to build the UX that Bitcoin and Lightning deserve.

In this episode ofWeb3 with Sam Kamani, I chat withJerry from Apex Fusion about their ambitious goal ofbuilding a next-gen Layer 1 blockchain that merges the best of Bitcoin & Ethereum.

In deze aflevering bespreken we de mempool. Vorige week was de mempool "leeg" en kregen we de vraag van een luisteraar of we de mempool en dit fenomeen eens in detail kunnen bespreken. We discussiëren over verschillende vragen zoals: Bestaat DE mempool of heeft elke node haar eigen mempool? Welke oorzaken en gevolgen heeft een "lege" mempool?Extra aantekeningen:mempool.spaceLes 39 - Mempool en Blockexplorer Les 34 - UTXO's Strike app - Bonus Les

Verifiability of Supplyhttps://sethforprivacy.com/posts/dispelling-monero-fud/#you-cant-audit-the-monero-supplyhttps://www.moneroinflation.comThis is probably the most common point of FUD brought against Monero, and is caused by the complexity and nuance involved in understanding how supply audits work in cryptocurrencies.Monero's supply can be easily audited by anyone running a Monero node, but this process does rely on the soundness of the monerod software implementation and the validity of cryptography used in range-proofs. These range-proofs allow it to be mathematically proven that the inputs and outputs of each transaction add up to zero without revealing amounts, ensuring that the supply is sound and not inflated in any way. Every node on the network is validating these range-proofs in each transaction every time a transaction is first seen, and validating all historical range-proofs when initially syncing.A manual audit is possible because coinbase transactions (those transactions that are mining rewards in each block including issuance + transaction fees) are intentionally transparent and amounts of these outputs are not obfuscated in any way. Monero users running a node can simply validate these totals on-demand, and all node owners are constantly verifying the amounts in transactions via range-proofs.Unlike Bitcoin, however, Monero users cannot simply do “napkin math” and validate the supply by manually adding up UTXO amounts, as transactions are never known-spent by the network, only by the parties involved in each specific transaction. This does force some added reliance on code/cryptography over Bitcoin, but as-of-yet I know of no onevalidating the Bitcoin supply this way. It does remain a valuable advantage of a transparent cryptocurrency, though it comes at the cost of the transactional privacy of every user in the system.GeneralNew primer on full-chain membership proofs available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc8Kc0WogAIFantastic Forbes article on Monero:https://www.forbes.com/sites/boazsobrado/2025/01/18/is-monero-keeping-bitcoins-cypherpunk-dream-alive/BTCPay team being amazing and migrating Monero support to a plugin for v2.xhttps://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/538#note_28197https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/pull/6535https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-monero-pluginNapoly and Deverick Apollo will help to transition the plugin to the Monero community and build out multi-wallet supporthttps://monero.observer/napoly-deverickapollo-ccs-proposal-develop-btcpayserver-monero-plugin/Software UpdatesHaveno keeps getting better and betterv1.0.18 released: https://monero.observer/woodser-releases-haveno-v1.0.18-fixes-improvements/Can now buy your first Monero without a security deposit by finding a seller and communicating a passwordhttps://monero.observer/haveno-v1.0.15-released-support-buying-monero-without-security-deposit/https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/1464#issuecomment-2545298727RetoSwap is the current live implementation of Haveno, have used to test and has been fantastic, quick, and easyhttps://retoswap.comMonero passphrase support in Cake Wallet v4.23.0Easy way to run a Monero daemon on your laptop or desktop gets even betterhttps://monero.observer/everoddandeven-releases-monero-daemon-gui-v1.1.0-toughness/Mining MoneroCPU mining vs ASICsp2pool vs solo miningMining via gupax on desktopshttps://gupax.ioMining via p2pool + xmrig on servershttps://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-p2pool-node/Mining Monero via decentralized p2pool keeps getting betterGupaxx update v1.7.0 released:https://monero.observer/cyrix126-releases-gupaxx-v1.7.0-ui-improvements-new-features-fixes/p2pool v4.3 released:https://monero.observer/schernykh-releases-p2pool-v4.3-initial-sync-improvements/XMRChat BoostsYou just leveled up

“Bitcoin over the last five years has returned 55% CAGR. If you get a 10th of a Bitcoin right now, just sit on a 10th of a Bitcoin… You go 20 years… That's $64 f***ing million dollars.”On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with George Bodine. George is a Bitcoiner and artist, but he's also been an oil field worker, cab driver, miner, cop, Navy fighter pilot, Top Gun graduate, and airline Captain… needless to say he's a fascinating guy. We get into a bunch of topics today including the transformative power of Bitcoin, the urgency for individuals to invest, Bitcoin market dynamics, the role of Bitcoin, ETFs, the importance of understanding dollar-cost averaging (DCA) and UTXO management, the strategic bitcoin reserve and first mover advantage for nation states, and the future of MicroStrategy as a Bitcoin bank. We also discuss the future of Bitcoin as a store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account.

We interview one of the key contributors and developers to ICP and dive deep into the weeds of the Internet Computer. We discuss the need for meta protocol assistance to make assets native to Bitcoin Layer 1 more functional. By using technology native to the ICP stack, developers on Bitcoin L1 can write container functions that call to the Bitcoin side to manipulate UTXO's without having to bridge assets over. This is a major development for the TAP ecosystem which has recently announced an integration with ICP. Once developers building on TAP begin to use the tools available to leverage ICP for their apps, a new season of interesting opportunity will emerge for Bitcoin and ICP. Topics First up, Who is Jordan Last? Next, discuss the need for meta protocol assistance to make assets native to Bitcoin Layer 1 more functional Then, major development for the TAP ecosystem which has recently announced an integration with ICP and Finally, new season of interesting opportunity will emerge for Bitcoin and ICP Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

“Coming out of a bear market, everyone who's been daily DCAing, everyone who's just been using Bitcoin as their savings and they save regularly, when they're all in the green, I think that that is a signal. That's a signal that the bull market's starting again.”On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker Wicked Smart Bitcoin Bitcoin data visualization, about HODL waves, why dollar cost averaging is the best way to save in Bitcoin, bull market signals, bitcoin mining and hashrate, bitcoin vs fiat technology, the importance of UTXO management, and a whole lot more.Wicked's Links:X: https://x.com/w_s_bitcoinNostr: https://primal.net/p/npub14uhkst639zvc2trx2nlsvk4yqkjp690zk89keytnzgmq2az0qmnq58ez89YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedsmartbitcoin*****THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners -- use promo code WALKER for...> bitbox.swiss/walker -- 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet.> EFANI: Protect yourself from SIM swap attacks – go to https://www.efani.com/walker and it'll automatically apply the promo code WALKER getting you $99 OFF.> Cloaked Wireless: 25% OFF eSIM or physical SIM cards and protect yourself from SIM swap attacks.*****If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on Fountain | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Spotify | PodLink (to all platforms) | HIGHLIGHTERFollow me (Walker) on Twitter Personal (@WalkerAmerica) | Twitter Podcast (@TitcoinPodcast) | Nostr Personal (walker) | Nostr Podcast (Titcoin)

"Lightning achieved a many-to-one mapping of transactions to transactions... But creating even a single UTXO per user is, arguably, not good enough. So there are many proposals out there to achieve even greater scaling by allowing multiple users to share a single UTXO in a self-sovereign way. Again, collapsing another “space” dimension of scaling users into one UTXO."— Peter Todd Today we dive into Peter Todd's recent review of the various Layer 2 covenant proposals and the soft forks associated with them to analyze the core concepts, the costs, and benefits of each. For moving into the next realm of scaling with genuine "L2's," what are the trade-offs and possibilities for Bitcoin's future?

In this episode of The Ordinal Show, hosts Trevor, Jan, and Leonidas discuss the potential of Opcat in Bitcoin smart contracts with the founder of sCrypt, Xiaohui Liu. sCrypt is a developer platform aimed at simplifying Bitcoin development. Opcat is a critical opcode that, if enabled, would allow for comprehensive on-chain smart contracts similar to Ethereum's capabilities. Xiaohui explains how their programming language, sCrypt, makes Bitcoin development more accessible and how Opcat can enable covenants and stateful contracts, making Bitcoin Turing complete. They discuss potential applications including decentralized finance (DeFi), automated market makers (AMMs), and more. The conversation also covers the differences between Bitcoin's UTXO model and Ethereum's account model, as well as the importance of community consensus for Opcat adoption. The episode concludes with a call for developers to experiment with Opcat, positioning themselves for future opportunities similar to early Solidity developers in Ethereum. The Ordinal Show is a series of regular Twitter Spaces featuring conversations with amazing people from the Bitcoin Ordinals community. Every Mon at 10:30am ET & Wed at 6:30pm ET.

In this episode, Austin chats with Justin Wang (Zeus Network) about bringing Bitcoin onto Solana. Unlike previous BTC x Solana integrations, Zeus has built a new communication layer, termed as "Layer 1.5," to enable programmability for Bitcoin and other non-programmable UTXO chains on Solana. Justin shares Zeus' security model and other technical details about how Zeus manages transactions. He ultimately shares a vision for the future of web3 applications that could leverage Zeus to build more integrated and functional decentralized apps, suggesting the potential for Solana to interact with any PoW chains, not just Bitcoin.  DISCLAIMER The content herein is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, options, futures, or other derivatives related to securities in any jurisdiction, nor should not be relied upon as advice to buy, sell or hold any of the foregoing.

Web3's decentralisation is currently limited to smart contracts as they can be verified on-chain. However, until scalability and UX become on par with that of Web2, the only realistic way for crypto to reach mass adoption is threw off-chain dApps. This creates the premise for a security bottleneck in the form of centralised APIs used for on-chain querying. Mel Project aims to expand on-chain security and decentralisation (consensus) to off-chain apps, basically achieving off-chain composability through trustless light clients. Earendil, the backbone of their ecosystem, designed to resist ISP-level censorship, is a decentralized anonymous communication and payment network that enables autonomous applications and true P2P protocols.Topics covered in this episode:Eric's background and founding Mel ProjectWhy Ethereum came shortIs Infura a security bottleneck?Liberating markets (and the Internet)Light clients and how Mel Project tackles themUse casesSmart contracts on Mel ProjectScaling the ‘world computer'Mel Project's consensus: StreamletWhy Mel Project chose an UTXO modelEarendil & ISP-level censorship resistanceRoadmapThe Geph VPNMel Project's low volatility (stable) coin$SYM: PoS tokenMisc.Episode links:Eric Tung on TwitterMel Project on TwitterGeph VPN on TwitterMoxie Marlinspike's 'My first impressions on web3' articleStreamlet BFT consensus modelSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

"Special interest lobbying, sadly, is effective." - David Bailey "I wanted Bitcoin to be this bipartisan bridge." - Jason Maier My guests today are David Bailey and Jason Maier. David is Founder & CEO of BTC Inc (Bitcoin Magazine, the Bitcoin Conference, UTXO) and Jason is a teacher and author of “A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin.” This debate, that serves more as an open discussion, delves into the controversial realm where Bitcoin intersects with US politics, focusing on Donald Trump's recent campaigning around Bitcoin, and the support it has garnered from some industry leaders in the Bitcoin space. We explore the potential implications of this alliance on Bitcoin adoption, international perceptions, and the challenges of reconciling political ideologies with Bitcoin advocacy. As a single issue voter around Bitcoin, David is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump who has appeared more open and supportive of Bitcoin compared to the Biden campaign, while Jason and I share concerns about the potential ramifications of endorsing politicians in this manner.

"We have the fork wars, we have a culture that understands the importance of nodes and widespread enforcement of a protocol and its rules. Unlike shitcoins, which couldn't care less about it... So this node orientation in Bitcoin is is critical to it not being a shitcoin. So spam has come in and they start trashing the blockchain and exploding the UTXO set and making every block almost four megabytes, which was supposed to be a theoretical maximum we were never actually supposed to see because no one thought we would just fill it up with witness data... This is a ridiculous guys. It's an attack. They've stated it as an attack when they came out and just went "I want to bloat the UTXO set because it's the worst thing you can do in Bitcoin"." ~ Bitcoin Mechanic In this episode, I talk with Bitcoin Mechanic about the current state of Bitcoin, focusing on the regulatory environment, the vital role of self-custody, and the challenges facing privacy and autonomy in the digital age. We delve into the complexities of maintaining operational security in the face of increasing regulatory oversight, and consider in what ways we can balance the needs of miners with those of everyday users and node runners to maintain a healthy network ecosystem.

"Part of the problem of Lightning's shortcoming regarding scalability of Bitcoin ownership is that in order to open a channel, or control a UTXO, you actually have to transact on the base layer. After that Lightning can facilitate a very large number of transactions off-chain but a user must still transact on-chain to onboard themselves to Lightning, It massively increases the number of transactions Bitcoin can process but it does nothing at all to increase the number of people who can own bitcoin. ~ Shinobi With scaling a hot issue again, and CTV coming back from the dead with concrete proposals, and covenants on the table, its time to dive back in and make sense of the options, and the concept of scaling not just bitcoin payments, as lightning has done, but Bitcoin ownership. From UTXOs to virtual UTXOs, could this primitive be the next major step in bringing Bitcoin sovereignty to the whole world? Check out the original article at How CTV Helps Scale Bitcoin.

“We need to build a system that is not going to create any sort of systemic centralisation and the incentives are aligned so that doesn't happen, that can defend us against fiat money, now the question of whether or not fractional reserve money still emerges in that system is another debate.”— Eric YakesAllen Farrington is the co-author of ‘Bitcoin Is Venice' and Eric Yakes is the author of ‘The 7th Property'. In this interview, we do a deep dive into the future of the Bitcoin-centric financial system, focusing on self-sovereignty, scalability, and the future of banking. We also explore the potential of Bitcoin to serve as a superior form of money addressing issues of custody and sovereignty, and the separation of money from state influence. - - - - The development of Bitcoin's ecosystem is a balancing act: making Bitcoin scale whilst ensuring it maintains its offer as a medium for self-sovereignty. In this podcast, we discuss the current trade offs being debated within the community, focusing on the impact of high transaction costs, whether the Lightning Network equates to true self-sovereignty, a growing concern that UTXO ownership might become a privilege, and the role of covenants. The underlying issue is the potential for the community to develop a neutral financial system directed by market participants. We discuss the potential for Bitcoin to serve as a better form of money, particularly in terms of its scarcity, its speed and cost of movement benefits, and the potential for shared custody models. We address the risks and trade-offs associated with moving into a Bitcoin-centric financial system, particularly in terms of custody and sovereignty.Eric and Alan explore the idea of reducing information asymmetry and constraints within economies, and the implications for fractional reserve systems. They emphasize the importance of creating systems that increase information transparency and reduce the likelihood of fraudulent activities. The guests also discuss the proposal for “Ark”, its prospective role in a Bitcoin financial system and its potential to address Lightning liquidity issues. As we move forward, it's clear that the Bitcoin ecosystem is at a crossroads, with emerging technologies offering both solutions and new challenges. The path to a Bitcoin-centric financial system is fraught with technical, economic, and philosophical questions that require our collective attention and ingenuity. This podcast is a chance to hear how two of the community's leading thinkers are collaborating to consider these complex issues.- - - - This episode's sponsors:Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.
