BTC Realist
@btcrealist
In my 4th decade of mortgage lending. ARMs almost always require you to qualify for a higher rate, not the start rate. Therefore, nobody does an ARM in order to QUALIFY for more home, since they can afford a fixed rate for the same purchase price and loan amount. Instead, it’s usually an attempt to give themselves a bit lower payment, that’s all. They’re confident they know future rates are coming down. I wouldn’t bet on that with my home, and usually am successful in bringing them around.

What are the implications of turing complete contracts (https://h.docs.lol/inUWILxDRBySwAkajWmfxw) on bitcoin?
Nothing at the moment, it demonstrates the creation of basic logic gates on bitcoin but requires massive amounts of off-chain data (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/the-big-deal-with-bitvm-arbitrary-computation-now-possible-on-bitcoin-without-a-fork) the cost to 'enforce' such a contract onchain would be prohibitively large

Episode 101: Trustee Me
Pre-Show
Optimism foundation is dumping tokens (https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/09/21/optimism-foundation-sells-157m-op-tokens-citing-treasury-management), they are the technological provider of Coinbase's 'base' protocol
News
Amboss.space has a new lightning node liquidity (https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/amboss-launches-hydro/) provisioning system. Must trade sats for 'ambucks'
The Mt Gox, an early crypto exchange that failed spectacularly, trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi (https://www.noandt.com/en/lawyers/nobuaki_kobayashi/) hs delayed repayments another year PDF (https://www.mtgox.com/img/pdf/20230921_announcement_en.pdf)
The Gox story is an early bitcoin parable on the danger and general incopetence (https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/bitcoin-gox/) of custodians in what became the bitcoin space
The former exchange website lists official bankruptcy (https://www.mtgox.com/) documents and won't redirect from http to https
The bankruptcy proceedings have revealed the inaddequacy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Karpel%C3%A8s) of the Japanese bankruptcy system
The one individual charged relating to the Mt. Gox hack Alexander Vinnik (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/alleged-russian-cryptocurrency-money-launderer-extradited-united-states) was extradited to the US in 2022
Economics
The US Fed remains hawkish in its latest press conference (https://wolfstreet.com/2023/09/20/in-very-hawkish-hold-fed-keeps-rates-at-5-50-top-of-range-sees-one-more-hike-in-2023-and-only-two-rate-cuts-in-2024-to-5-25-by-yearend-qt-continues/) holding at a 5.50% interest rate but the US Treasury yield curve (https://www.ustreasuryyieldcurve.com/) predicts rates falling, so the FED is likely wrong again (Eurodollar futures are also falling (https://www.investing.com/rates-bonds/eurodollar-streaming-chart))
Capital outflows from China (https://archive.ph/Ipwgn) are increasing, not a good sign
Privacy
The COBRA bitcoin case (https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bitcoin-org-operator-loses-appeal-to-craig-wright/) demonstrates how pseudonomity can be attacked through legal shennanigans
The Privacy Dad has some interesting thoughts on privacy in schools (https://theprivacydad.com/an-argument-for-using-schools-in-the-fight-for-digital-privacy/) as a place to fight the privacy war
Bitcoin Education
Inscriptions are not going away (https://twitter.com/_Checkmatey_/status/1704748379451130347) and they have changed the bitcoin fee market (perhaps forever?)
A python script can sort of predict the USD price of bitcoin (https://github.com/Unbesteveable/UTXOracle/tree/main) using your nodes sats data and a template that predicts USD price relationships accross satoshis

As a very new to LN, it is a hard first time to start with bitcoin and lightning. I found a great contact on Nostr that was able to do a pay-what-you-want for a 1m sat channel for 90 days, which will help with the trip!

I can recall a very big item of disinformation that definitely hurt over 1,000,000 people. The disinformation was that Iraq had WMDs. Governments are the only ones that deserve to be censored, since they have proven to consistently be the worst propagandists.

Episode 89: Not at all about Bitcoin
Pre-Show
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is now promoting bitcoin (https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-on-bitcoin-regulation-and-esg/) on tv news
Binance Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillmann (https://twitter.com/PRHillmann/status/1677070523740884992) and Vice President for Compliance Steven Christie (https://twitter.com/SKChristie9/status/1677116795499712512) confirmed in tweets on Friday morning in Asia that they are leaving the world’s largest crypto exchange.
The confirmations came after Fortune reported (https://fortune.com/crypto/2023/07/06/binance-crisis-executives-quit-changpeng-zhao-justice-department/) multiple Binance senior executives were resigning amid regulatory investigations and lawsuits.
News
Economics
Christine Laguard's speach at the Council on Foreign Relations earlier this year, reveals the ECB announced the end of central bank independence (https://www.cfr.org/event/c-peter-mccolough-series-international-economics-christine-lagarde) and further fragmentation of the dollar system
She also casually points out that there are no property right guarantees in the dollar system:
> For a start, an economic policy mix that produces less volatile growth and inflation will be key in continuing to attract international investment. And although 50 to 60 percent of foreign-held U.S. short-term assets are in the hands of governments with strong ties to the United States—those that I think Janet Yellen calls the “friends,” meaning that they’re unlikely to be divested for geopolitical reasons—the single most important factor influencing international currency usage remains the strength of fundamentals. And by that, we know that it is the rule of law, strong respected institution, as well as open capital markets.
Privacy
The 'misinformation industrial complex' is being academically formalized (https://misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu/article/mis-and-disinformation-studies-are-too-big-to-fail-six-suggestions-for-the-fields-future/) and a Harvard think tank is refreshingly self-reflective on what that means for society
Bitcoin Education
Bitcoin Optech #258 is pretty thin (https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2023/07/05/) reflecting the summer slowdown (we hope)

All These Fears Will Be For Your Good - Facing the Fear Trap
True or false? You only use 10 percent of your brain? Albert Einstein was a lousy student, and look how he turned out! Positive affirmations will lead you to self-love and happiness. To get the answers, you'll need to listen to this episode, but (spoiler alert) we are often building meaning and judging ourselves based on stories that aren't true and, in some cases, cause us to feel deep shame and fear. Tony talks about how certain myths around fear stunt our growth and what we can do to resolve our fears and doubts. Tony references "The Confidence Gap" https://amzn.to/3AuBPlb by Russ Harris for this episode.
