The crew tackled Bitcoin's recent dip to 78k. They opened with a cheerful nod to the dip as a “soul-cleansing” buying opportunity, reflecting their seasoned perspective after years of volatility, including the 2020 COVID crash that birthed the show. They emphasized that Bitcoin's long-term thesis remains unshaken despite the 20-25% drop from its 108k peak, aligning it with broader market pullbacks in stocks like Nvidia and Tesla. Vijay Boyapati's insights framed the dip as typical bull market chop, while charts showed historical cycles and an “air pocket” suggesting a possible test of 72k. The crew debunked short-term fears tied to tariffs and a questionable GDP estimate, highlighting BlackRock's portfolio nod to Bitcoin as a bullish fundamental. They also celebrated the collapse of meme coin mania, citing the Trump coin peak and Milei scandal as turning points, contrasting Bitcoin's enduring value with crypto's scams. Through it all, they urged education, recurring buys, and resilience, reinforcing Bitcoin's role as a long-term hedge against fiat decay, not a quick-rich scheme.

Vijay Boyapati is author of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin. We dive into the transformative potential of Bitcoin for Australia, New Zealand, and smaller countries. What role will the Asia-Pacific region more broadly play in Bitcoin's adoption? What does a change of direction in the United States signal for Bitcoin adoption in other countries? We explore the cultural and economic dynamics shaping this new monetary frontier, as well as the impact of political and institutional acceptance of Bitcoin globally. --- Links: The Bullish Case for Bitcoin by Vijay Boyapati - https://amzn.to/4fVgHGR Vijay Boyapati on X - https://x.com/real_vijay Reserve Bank of New Zealand & Inflation with Don Brash - https://www.thetransformationofvalue.com/episodes/reserve-bank-of-new-zealand-inflation-with-don-brash Anchors Aweigh: What does Gold mean in the Age of Bitcoin? - https://www.thetransformationofvalue.com/articles/anchors-aweigh-what-does-gold-mean-in-the-age-of-bitcoin --- Support my work: Support TTOV - https://www.thetransformationofvalue.com/support --- Connect: X - https://x.com/TTOVpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/codyellingham Nostr - https://njump.me/npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ttovpodcast --- Credits: The Transformation of Value is produced by Cody Ellingham Show music by Simon James French - https://www.simonjamesfrench.com/ ---

When you go to vote this November, it won't just be for President or Governor. You'll also be voting on a group of initiatives - and these things are complicated. So we're breaking all of them down here on Soundside this election season. And this week, we're turning to I-2109: aka, the measure that seeks to Repeal the Capital Gains Tax. Passed by the legislature back in 2021, the tax took effect two years ago. It charges a 7% tax on the sales of some types of assets - things like stocks, bonds, and some types of businesses. The tax kicks in on profits exceeding $262,000. Real estate, retirement accounts, and certain small businesses are exempt. Revenue from the tax goes towards education: the first $500m raised is earmarked for schools, early learning, and child care programs. The rest goes towards school construction and renovation. This is a tax that's only paid by an extremely small percentage of Washington taxpayers (.001%). 4,000 people paid Washington state capital gains taxes in 2022 - producing $786m dollars in revenue. Last year, that amount decreased to $433m. Yesterday, we spoke with former Google engineer Vijay Boyapati about the case to vote “Yes” and repeal the capital gains tax. Today, we're speaking with someone from the vote “NO” on I-2109 campaign. Guest: Treasure Mackley is executive director of Invest in WA Now, a Seattle-based organization advocating for progressive revenue measures in Washington State - including the Capital Gains tax Relevant Links: Ditch Washington's Capital Gains Tax?

I talk with James Viggiano about recent comments made by the Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Not soon after we spoke, James shared a clip that went viral of the governor talking frankly about the exorbitant privilege of money printing that the central banks and governments have. James and I talk about some of the game theory from the perspective of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to defend the Kiwi Dollar and their attempts to talk down inflation, and shift the narrative even as the cost of living crisis continues. We also talk about the opportunity for what New Zealand could look like on a Bitcoin standard and how that could interface with the legacy financial system.

Join Mark Moss as he delves deep into the dynamic world of Bitcoin with Vijay Boyapati, the acclaimed author of "The Bullish Case for Bitcoin," and a distinguished senior engineer at Swan Bitcoin. In this pivotal episode, they tackle the controversial ETF approvals, the implications of regulatory pressures like the UK's crypto account seizure law, and the formidable resilience of Bitcoin against centralization efforts. Discover why Bitcoin, now celebrating 15 years since its white paper, remains the epitome of trustless transactions, thriving in adversarial environments and maintaining its immutable value. Plus, they explore the intersection of Bitcoin's liquidity and the role of scarcity in its valuation, all while providing insightful perspectives on current financial trends, including the collapse of ESG funds and the chase for alpha in investment. Whether you're a seasoned investor or a crypto-curious listener, this conversation sheds light on why Bitcoin continues to be a crucial asset in the global financial landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vivek Ramaswamy burst onto the American political scene in early 2023, after announcing his presidential campaign (on the Republican side). I was immediately struck by his thoughtfulness and eloquence, but even more so by his 'radical' policy positions (which I largely support), and the detail with which he is explaining how he will execute them. Vivek appears to me to be properly diagnosing many of the issues confronting the US (and the world more broadly today), and seems to have a unique courage and ability to articulate what he believes to be the truth, regardless of the forum he is speaking in (and whatever pushback he may receive as a result). Does he just have his finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist, and is saying what people want to hear? It doesn't seem like it to me, but of course, the point is for it to not seem like that, and as such, politics is forever a domain that one should be especially sceptical of (and secondary to individual action). As a result, I invited Jordan Schachtel, an independent journalist who has been critical of Ramaswamy, and Vijay Boyapati, someone who's been on Vivek's podcast and who's been more positive on him, on the show to discuss his candidacy through a 'bitcoiner' perspective.

On this episode, I have on Vijay Boyapati. Vijay is the Author of the book "The Bullish Case For Bitcoin". I brought Vijay on to discuss the difference between Austrian and Keynesian economics and why he sees Bitcoin as a tool to lead us back towards Austrian economics which he sees as a superior method for measuring and running the economy. Vijay walks us through the differences between the different schools of economic thought that are being taught.Often times Austrian Economics gets spoken about in Bitcoin circles, but I did not know enough about it so I brought on Vijay to help give me AND YOU, Austrian economics 101. We also briefly touched on politics and his experience with the Ron Paul campaign.I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did. I appreciate you for always tuning in.

Location: Los Angeles Date: Tuesday 1st February Company: Independent Role: Software Engineer and Author In 2005 Ray Kurzweil introduced the idea of the singularity: a point in the near future when artificial superintelligence surpasses human intelligence. In his book “The Singularity is Near”, Kurzweil embraced the benefits such a future presented humans: “Our sole responsibility is to produce something smarter than we are; any problems beyond that are not ours to solve.” Yet, less than 2 decades later, technologists, futurists, and philosophers are now envisaging potentially catastrophic futures for our species. The conversion from the utopian to a dystopian view of the future has roots in the development of the Fermi paradox, i.e. why, despite high estimates for the existence of extraterrestrial life, is there no clear and obvious evidence for it? One theory gaining wider acceptance is that there could be a Great Filter: a barrier preventing intelligent colonisation of the universe. Life may be unable to evolve into advanced civilisations through being unable to manage technologies that manifest existential risks. This is evident with existing innovations: nuclear weapons, biotechnology, nanotechnology, poorly designed AI etc. The risks proliferate when such technology becomes cheap and ubiquitous such that we can all harness great power: it is the democratisation of mass destruction. A range of technologies that can do irreparable harm could be within each individual's grasp, and our society has enough individuals willing to inflict such harm. So, technology has the potential to destroy us rather than liberate us. How should we mitigate this potential future if it is enabled by continued advances, decentralisation, and increased freedoms? In this interview, I talk to Software Engineer and Author Vijay Boyapati.

Vijay Boyapati was born and raised in Australia and moved to the United States to do a PhD in Computer Science. He never started the PhD, but took a job offer instead and ended up at a small startup called Google. After leaving the much bigger Google, in 2007, Vijay spent a year campaigning in the 2008 Presidential election, helping to raise millions of dollars for Ron Paul.After becoming disillusioned by the political process, Vijay decided to continue to seek change through technology. Discovering Bitcoin in 2011, Vijay quickly went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. With a background in Austrian economics he spent years thinking about the economic framework within which Bitcoin's value proposition could be understood. His thinking on the economics of Bitcoin culminated in an article, and now book called the Bullish Case for Bitcoin which is one of the most read articles on Bitcoin after Satoshi Nakamoto's Whitepaper and it has been translated into 20 different languages. The article is often cited as the most useful resource to give to newcomers who are attempting to understand Bitcoin.
In this very special chat, Vijay Boyapati returns for the third time to discuss where we are in the current Bitcoin cycle, his macroeconomic outlook, the history of the cypherpunk movement, Satoshi, the power to control the transmission of value, Facebook's Libre, and Bitcoin's Nuclear Option.

This episode is all about Bitcoin. We jump back and explain Bitcoin from the beginning and in the order that Nate thinks it's best to understand it. This starts with a discussion about how Bitcoin is money and that leads us to discuss what money is, what problems it solves, and what properties make for good money. This hopefully explains why certain people find Bitcoin valuable. Then we address various Bitcoin concerns including is it secure, is the volatility something to be scared about, will the government shut it down, a short discussion on Bitcoin vs other cryptocurrencies, and the environmental impact of Bitcoin. Then we move onto various technical questions including what a public address and a private key are and how they are generated and stored. Then we discuss how to safely secure your Bitcoin and what happens if you lose your hardware wallet or forget your password. Then we have a short discussion about the distinction between a full node and how it differs from a mining rig. Lastly, we discuss where to buy Bitcoin including how to access it in your retirement accounts. Here is our longer podcast on Bitcoin vs Altcoin Investing. Keep in mind it's NSFW.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 342. The Bitcoin2021 audience Thanks to the good offices of my friend Vijay Boyapati, author of the new book-length version of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, the organizers of bitcoin2021 in Miami, June 4-5 2021, graciously gave me two minutes to make an announcement about the Open Crypto Alliance (@OpenCryptoX) and its work, on Saturday June 5. I was introduced by Charlie Shrem. Transcript below. Youtube: https://youtu.be/-ns4R3Y41Lw Note (4/20/22): The video above was taken down by a copyright strike from Bitcoin Magazine (ironically).

I'm a member of the Open Crypto Alliance, recently formed to combat the growing threat to the bitcoin and blockchain ecosystems posed by patents being filed in this space, by companies such as nChain, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Mastercard, and others. nChain, for example, has over 20 European patents already granted, and hundreds more filed and pending and about 23,000 blockchain and crypto patents have been filed in the last couple years. These patent filings are of grave concern to those of us in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Our partner group, Square's Crypto Open Patent Alliance, or COPA, addresses this problem by having members pledge never to use their crypto-technology patents offensively. However, this is of limited use against patent trolls and patent holders who are not members of the alliance. Our group, the Open Crypto Alliance, is focused on preventing abusive patents from being granted in the first place by trying to knock these patents out. We do this by identifying dangerous patents, finding prior art that the patent office should have considered, and submitting a challenge to the patent. We are actually working on our first challenge and we're seeking help from experts who have a deep understanding of elliptic curve cryptography. If anyone would like to help, please contact us at www.OpenCryptoAlliance.org Thank you.

Location: Remotely Date: Thursday 14th January Company: Independent Role: Software Engineer and Author As we are in another Bitcoin bull market, many new people will be considering investing, but understanding what Bitcoin is and why it is important isn't straightforward. Bitcoin is multifaceted, and the use cases can vary dramatically depending on where you live in the world and your circumstances. There is no standard narrative or way of explaining Bitcoin; for example, it is a medium of exchange, a way to bypass government and as an inflation hedge. Others are investing in Bitcoin to speculate against the net benefit of all use cases. To help answer some of the most common questions and lay to bed some of the common misconceptions, I talk to software engineer and author, Vijay Boyapati for the ultimate Bitcoin 101.
Location: Squadcast Date: Tuesday 22nd September Company: Unchained Capital, Parallax Digital & Senior Software Engineer Role: Head of Business Development, Founder & Peach If you ask 100 people what Bitcoin is, you will likely get 100 different answers. Whether it is a medium of exchange, gold 2.0, a hedge against inflation or purely as a speculative asset, all of these answers are valid. The decentralised nature of Bitcoin means that it has no owner and no single leader who decides what it is or how to use it. Bitcoin is an entirely personal experience based on the needs of the individual. As such, since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin has had many narratives. Championed initially as being a tool for digital commerce, with the advent of the Silk Road and other dark markets it's censorship-resistant property grew in popularity. More recently, Bitcoin is widely considered as gold 2.0 and a must-have asset to protect your wealth against inflation. With the absence of a central narrative, infighting is typical in Bitcoin, most notably in 2017 with the contentious Bitcoin Cash fork over what some believed the purpose that Bitcoin should serve. However, central to Bitcoin is its permissionless nature and therefore any Bitcoiner can choose to use it however they wish. In this interview, I am joined by Parker Lewis, Robert Breedlove and Vijay Boyapati to answer the question: what is Bitcoin? We discuss the use cases, what money is, institutional investors and the path to hyperbitcoinisation.
