Bitcoin Audible - Bitcoin is Venice [Allen Farrington]
February 24th, 2021 byBTCMedia
"Does anybody really believe that, having fully understood the choice they face, any individual would choose to save in a self-referentially mispriced toxic loan rather than a provably sound digital bearer asset? Or, more simply still, that they will think it makes less sense to hold money that is a pure asset than money that is literally defined as a liability? Why not opt into a financial system that is built on trustless verifiability rather than unverifiable trust?" - Allen Farrington Read More -

In this episode of Bitcoin Magazine’s Fed Watch podcast, Christian Keroles and Ansel Lindner give an update on central bank news in relation to bitcoin. This is the only podcast that tackles this intersection of macro and bitcoin, from a realistic and skeptical point of view. The cracks in the legacy financial system are fairly evident at this point, but it is not going to be a quick and easy transition to what is next. Bitcoin’s niche is growing and muscling into the territory of the legacy system. But it will happen in phases, without a centralized plan. This podcast examines that point friction. Read More -

Unhashed Podcast - Well Endowed
February 9th, 2021 byBTCMedia
1. On Saturday, Bitcoin plebes on Twitter were angry with Elon for saying “Doge appears to be inflationary, but is not meaningfully so (fixed # of coins per unit time), whereas BTC is arguably deflationary to a fault.
