• Read_917 - The Ultimate Collateral

  "The best, simplest, ultimate form of collateral is something that can instantly be claimed and sold at any time when the debtor fails to make their payments. A house can take months, even years to sell. Stocks too have time restrictions, but Bitcoin doesn't."~ The Ultimate Collateral Today we take a chapter out of a book to dive into one big idea: Bitcoin as the best collateral humanity’s ever had. Most people think houses, stocks, gold and cash, but because there's never been anything better, most fail to see their enormous flaws. However, combining the elements of multisig's genuine shared ownership, perfect digital scarcity, portability, and Bitcoin’s unmatched uptime make it fundamentally different from old-world collateral games. If an asset can be verified by anyone, transferred instantly, and tends to appreciate over time, are we still thinking too small about what Bitcoin is actually for?

• Read_916 - The Thermodynamic Monetary Transition

  "This analysis has demonstrated through 30 universal laws, empirically validated across 16 years and $1.83 trillion in market capitalization, that Bitcoin represents a genuine phase transition in monetary coordination. It is the first system deriving legitimacy from thermodynamic irreversibility rather than social consensus or institutional authority. The implications extend beyond finance." — Shanaka Anslem PareraIf money has always depended on kings, banks, and belief… what does it mean to have a monetary system whose legitimacy comes from raw energy and math? I read a wildly ambitious analysis that tries to quantify Bitcoin’s “thermodynamic transition,” then I pull it apart in my own words and dig into what the data might really be telling us. Is Bitcoin just another asset bubble, or a once-in-millennia break with the way money has always worked?

• Chat_151 - Bitcoin Technically, Ideologically, and Actually with Murch

  "I think that all of the people that I know that are working on Bitcoin Core and other Bitcoin projects are onlyinterested in the monetary use case. But I think that many of them take a more long term view in how that might be happening if we're trying to get towards this being not just the money for anyone, but the money for everyone."~ Murch In this episode, I sit down with Murch, long-time Bitcoin Core developer and co-founder of Localhost Research, for a deep and candid dive into how Bitcoin really works — not just technically, but socially and ideologically. We explore how Core contributors organize, fund, and ship software, the recent OP_RETURN debate, and the cultural divides that have surfaced around Bitcoin development. Can the protocol stay pure and neutral while the community grows more opinionated? What does it mean when social dynamics shape technical direction? And how can open-source developers and commentators bridge the gap to keep Bitcoin strong and united? From software releases and mempool policy to the human side of collaboration and conflict — this chat goes right to the heart of what it means to build Bitcoin. Check out our awesome sponsors!

• Read_915 - Thank You For Being Annoying

  I dive into Adam Mastroianni’s piece “Thank You for Being Annoying” and use it as a launchpad to rant about work, love, and why being constantly irritated might be a feature, not a bug. From broken file‑sharing workflows to terrible movie adaptations and contradictory economic ideas, I walk through how annoyance has quietly steered my biggest projects.What if the right question isn’t “What do you love?” but “What bugs you so much you can’t walk away?” Check out the original article Thank you for being annoying by Adam Mastroianni (Link: https://www.experimental-history.com/p/thank-you-for-being-annoying) References from the Episode Experimental History - Adam’s newsletter/Blog (Link: https://substack.com/@experimentalhistory) The Rise and Fall of Peer Review by Adam Mastroianni (Link: https://www.experimental-history.com/p/the-rise-and-fall-of-peer-review) The NPR story about the guy who fixes every “comprised of” on Wikipedia (Link: https://www.npr.org/2015/03/12/392568604/dont-you-dare-use-comprised-of-on-wikipedia-one-editor-will-take-it-out) Chat_148 - It Doesn’t Pass the Smell Test with Jimmy Song (Link: https://fountain.fm/episode/rP3NzJ1DwFx4mL0QJUDu) Check out our awesome sponsors!

• Guy's Take_103 - Bitcoin Dead For Sure This Time

  Why is the "world's most valuable money" stagnating while everything falls apart around it? With 401k hardship withdrawals at record highs and mortgage delinquencies surpassing 2008 levels, shouldn't Bitcoin be rocketing higher?
