The Bitcoin Podcast Network

This episode Corey and Collin bring on the academics Arthur Gervais and Dominik Harz from Imperial College London. They discuss a new protocol that attempts to reduce the required financial deposits for various mechanisms in a way that does not reduce security. In other words, it is an attempt to help with over-collateralization, which could save investors a lot of money! As always, we get into the weeds to try and figure out exactly how it works, and where it is best used. Come listen and enjoy!

Would you put Bitcoin in your 401k? Most likely if you are listening to this show. Corey and Demetrick discuss a litany of topics this episode with an OG, ExiledSurfer: what does crypto look like when the remaining 50% of the population joins the craze, what makes ethereum more of a draw than bitcoin, how can governance take place in cryptoanarchy, and why does Exiled Surfer roll his cigarettes directly into the microphone. Also, there was a bird orgy outside of Corey's house...those birds were freaky-naughty.

In this episode the roundtable is open. Ray Redacted, Jessie "The Man" Broke, Harry D and Taylor from MyCrypto all swing by to discuss security, why it is not sexy and what it needs to do to be sexy. Corey invents a new acronym, "SIS." Everyone in the roundtable agrees that it should be a new standard way of thinking. Also, Taylor reminds everyone in the crypto community that the worst user experience is the one where the user loses their money. Nobody wants that. Oh...and for good measure, if you aren't using 2FA or some form of MFA, then you are just waiting to get pwned. Waiting very patiently to get pwned.

We're happy to welcome back Truebit Protocol to the podcast! This time we're speaking with Jason Teutsch, mathematican, computer scientist, and founder of the protocol. Truebit is an incentivization scheme for the compute and validation of off-chain code execution with on-chain commitment and validation. We talk about the protocol, but also about their two-token model for producing value in the network and encouraging participation. Truebit is a very interesting protocol, listen and then check it out!

We read Cryptocurrency headlines. It used to be kind of serious...but only kind of. Now, we mainly try to take the news seriously because it is kind of redundant and have fun in that attempt. Welcome to the best crypto show you're going to hear for the rest of your life. You're welcome.

International payments is not an easy challenge to tackle, and Stellar is working diligently to upend the current aging and fee-ridden systems for a more democratized method of international asset transfer. In this episode we have Nikhil Saraf, Principal Software Engineer at Stellar Development Foundation, to educate us on the core features of Stellar, how it achieves consensus, and the practicals of how Stellar can be integrated into regular business and consumer applications.

Andy Boyan is friend of the network who is a long time listener and active slack member. This week he joins Lucian to talk about memes and the power of their narratives. As a PhD in Communication who studied technology adoption and mechanics, he drops some wisdom on how Ethereum can come to terms with its narrative, own its identity, and stay weird.

In this week's episode of The Bitcoin Podcast, Ray Redacted swings by to correct and address some of the lingering drama centered around the Bit Block Book conference. We also spent some time discussing Dan Larimer and what it takes to to create something that people will actually use. Again, Corey and Dee debate the merits of HODL vs using. Dee seems to think that there should not be one chain to rule them all. Maybe there is room for a counsel in crypto that can serve to guide this budding industry to relevance.

We all saw the warning signs of the ICO craze in 2017 but it still hit us like a ton of bricks. Many have been burnt while others profited at the expense of new loyal users in the crypto-space. Now that the dust has settled and the cringing thought of another ICO is history, there has been a surge in Decentralized Autonomous Organisations (DAO) popping up everywhere you go. Is a DAO bubble looming in the horizon? Through Dynamics Design, Beth McCarthy shows us how to avoid mistakes of yesteryear and carefully design resilient and human-centric incentive models that deliver long-lasting value and meaning to users in your DAO.

This is On-Ramping with Dee. Demetrick has been in cryptocurrency for so long he feels a slight duty to educate as many curious minds as possible. This show is his attempt to inform all those that are interested about Bitcoin but not sure where and how to start learning.

This episode, Corey brings on Vinay Gupta from the Mattereum project.

Today, we dive into the fundamentals about the transaction costs associated with the lifecycle management of physical goods. What does that mean? Why do you care about your stuff, and why do you hold onto it? Enjoy!
