I would be very much down for that. I love the seed signer. My one complaint is that I habe fairly bad eyesight ( that’s deteriorating more unfortunately) and the screen is hard to read.

This week’s Bitcoin Conference provided plenty of news and controversy. It also provided a great place to meet old friends and make new ones. Even with all the political hype, it is possible that it did provide what could be a turning point in Bitcoin history.

I discussed this on my podcast last night. The legislation was passed on May the 14th. It certainly did not come directly from him. I’m not sure that he supports it. I don’t think he does but I can not be conclusive about it. He isn’t a dictator and he does have to work with other parties. He’s not perfect but let’s not attribute this directly to him when he didn’t crest the legislation ( or ask for it ).

Fair enough. I would say that any privacy / encryption would potentially attract governmental regulation aattention. Example PGP. As a fundamental right I believe in privacy. Ad my primary financial instrument I should not have to jump through a bunch of hoops to achieve that. I believe that the best path forward for privacy adoption in BTC would be enablement of protocol level features that provide privacy features enabled by default. With continued Wall Street interaction with Bitcoin the chance of Bitcoin being banned in the US gets smaller and smaller. A chance i’m willing to take. Bitcoin is freedom money first and without privacy there is no freedom.

If it's privacy by default how does that increase the attack vector?

I come from podcasting 2.0 world where #[6] created v4v with John C Dvorak. #[2] and Adam at some point pretty recently created a polished doc explaining it quite recently. I have 0 issues with calling zaps “zaps” - I think it’s cool. But value for value describes very well what is going on. Long story short .. I was making a poor attempt at a joke. I’m all for calling zaps and such v4v because it describes perfectly what’s going on .. someone is providing value in the form of content ( a note ) and someone else is providing value back in the form of zaps. Just my two sats and people can do and say whatever they want of course but I think most people who dismiss the v4v philosophy really don’t understand it for one thing.

Little late on this one but .. cool .. It’s an interesting digital law framework Wyoming is building.

To each their own but v4v denotes exactly what it means. The listeners to my podcast who support the show through the “three t’s” of time, talent or treasure (sats) are providing value to the show in return for the value I provide to them.

New episode of Generation Bitcoin posted yesterday.
Had a great conversation with Kyrin at Mere Mortals podcast about Value4Value and our views on advertising and how it all tied into Bitcoin at the end ( aside from the obvious lightning network usage ).

Thanks for doing this. People don’t want to hear about this genocidal disaster but it’s important.
