Is the Bitcoin-Dollar theory a path to salvation or destruction for the US currency? Stablecoin issuers have become major buyers of US bonds, and political figures have flipped the script to embrace Bitcoin. What does this mean for the future of money, and will Bitocin reinforce dollar dominance or pave the way for a new monetary standard? It's time for a Guy's Take episode. Links to check out Whitney Webb & Mark Goodwin's research on the Bitcoin Dollar theory The Bitcoin Reformation by Tuur Demeester Lyn Alden's work on banking crises and global financial systems Preston Pysh's...

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

No actual discussion about the BIP technicals. Projection, fear-mongering, mind reading. Odell kind of did the same thing with Swan Bitcoin a couple years ago when he didn't have info that they hadn't announced and basically accused them of being bad actors and had to walk it back. If you disagree with the goal and assume bad motivations then of course it's going to seem like an attack. BIP-110 supporters can (and probably do) say that Core's actions + some statements by various devs + various VC connections = attack on Bitcoin. Everyone has their idea of what they want Bitcoin to be and everyone has something at stake. As a small miner who is all-in on Bitcoin for years now, and has been following this issue since early 2025, I support the vision of BIP110. Doesnt mean it's perfect, but I believe it's better than the direction we'd be heading without it.
100
the core dev, lorinc, finding a critical consensus bug from sloppy coding in 110 was hilarious.

110 is an attack on Bitcoin. Doesn’t mean Core is perfect either.

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

Thanks for all your work, guys. I don't always agree with you but appreciate you regardless. I'm trying to add to the free, private, decentralized apps space based on p2p protocols and design using the Pear stack. So far I have a family/group calendar, family/location sharing and screen time apps. Please check out what I've got so far at https://peerloomllc.com or check out @npub16u9hy2m8w… on NOSTR.

    Great episode! Just my take: comparing stablecoins to banks isn't quite right - they're more like money market funds in your pocket. They could indeed lower barriers and the Fed would one day be willing to print if stablecoins (like mmfs in the past) "break the buck". Brrr… -> Another win for bitcoin. Stablecoins might also drive demand for short-term govies, which might become scarce as MMFs are used as collateral in this world where still no bank trusts any other without the right collateral at the right time. Repledging not counted for here. Overall, I agree - most fiat and shitcoins will fail, Bitcoin layers will win, and the dollar may stick around as the "cleanest dirty shirt" for a while. But it's time to get a clean shirt - get Bitcoin.
