"A real comparison between gold & bitcoin is to compare their relative ability to alleviate uncertainty" Pierre Rochard, VP of research at Riot Platforms Inc, and yes - THAT Pierre, joins me finally, on the Wake Up Podcast to discuss his new piece for The Bitcoin Times, entitled; Bitcoin VS Gold. Now..this is not just another one of those articles. This one is short, concise and you WILL take away with you a concept that you may not have thought about before. The difference between uncertainty and risk. You can find the fill article here on The Bitcoin Times website: https://bitcointimes.io/bitcoin-versus-gold/ We go on a few tangents in the episode also, but here are the core topics: Free Will & Determinism / Austrian Econ & Keyenianism Nature VS Nurture The difference between uncertainty and risk. Money (savings) is how we relieve uncertainty!! Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and there forces them to become short-termist & have high time preference. Price is all about risk. Savings is how we minimise and manage uncertainty - NOT Risk Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and therefore increases their uncertainty.

“There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“ Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met. The episode continues with part two, and we cover the balance of his incredible article: Toward a Node World Order; How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing. Read it here: https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/ In this part, we cover: Why Gold “didn’t fix this” The 3 steps to a Fiat World Order How military conquest has been overshadowed by monetary policy Why Bitcoin Fixes This Doing your own verifying and indexing is the only way to be sure your index data is secure.  — Satoshi Nakamoto A full node as an independent bookkeeper “The bitcoin network was architected in such a way that a full node can operate in a bunker, cut off from the rest of the world, save for a single internet connection”  The dangers of people who keep trying to extend it’s purpose beyond that, in some attempt to make it do everything (eg; Ethereum, and even Bitcoiners with Ethereum envy, eg; Stacks) Bitcoin Nodes and Methodological Individualism  What is Methodological Individualism ? How does it manifest with a Bitcoin Node? The idea that Bitcoin exists on the node seems to fry people’s brains because they can’t conceptualise how a global network can simultaneously be here in a local node.  “There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“ The Establishment of a Bitcoin World Order  A fundamentally better economic operating system  The Industrial Revolution freed humanity from the Malthusian trap. Bitcoin, having put an end to counterfeiting once and for all, frees us from the fiat trap.  Follow Michael @BitStein Check out NakamotoInstitute.org And buy your copy of The Bitcoin Times: bitcointimes.io ____________________________________ Thanks again for listening.

“All Bitcoin is paper bitcoin until verified by your own full node” Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met. He joins me on the show to discuss the first essay he’s written in a LOOOONG time, called: Toward a Node World Order; How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing. Read it here: https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/ We covered so much ground in this ep, that we split it into two parts. In part one we cover: Nodes. What they are, why they’re important and how they manifest our will onto the Bitcoin Network. “Perpetual vigilance on the part of the citizens can achieve what a thousand laws and dozens of alphabetical bureaus with hordes of employees never have and never will achieve: the preservation of a sound currency.” This is clearly how Bitcoin & nodes seem to have manifested his quote, but what do you think he envisioned when he said this? What is the Malthusian Trap? How did we solve for it? The productivity theory of wages, and how Marxists in general get child labour so wrong. Why real progress requires capital accumulation, technological advancement & public ideology “There was never enough slaves to create an iPhone for the Pharaoh.” Time preference Why is the “evenly rotating economy” always going to be hypothetical ? Why there will always be a necessity for Money The state & public support How money & banking help support a “good opinion” of the state (and at the very least the assumption that it’s a ’necessary evil’) Follow Michael @BitStein Check out NakamotoInstitute.org And buy your copy of The Bitcoin Times: bitcointimes.io ____________________________________ Thanks again for listening.

The Origins of the Austrian School of Economics "There are two types of enlightenment. Grass roots, like the Austrian or Scottish kind, or Top down like the Jacobin or Fabian kind." Rahim Taghizadegan is most well known as an Author, Bitcoiner & Educator/University Lecturer and the “Last Austrian Economist in the direct Austrian Tradition”. He wrote a piece for the latest Bitcoin Times, Austrian Edition. You can read and boost that here: https://bitcointimes.com.au/from-bitcoin-to-the-austrian-school/  This man is an absolute WEALTH of knowledge and I we had an incredible discussion about the origins of Austrian Economics, money, banking and merchant networks - all which are precedents to Bitcoin. If you’re a history buff and love to learn about the origin of things, THIS is an episode you will absolutely love. We cover: A history of Austrian Economics: Menger & his lineage. Menger as a bright “node” in emergent Austrian thinking A little about the Crown prince Who was the Nobel Laureate (Hayek?) Menger’s students “Two lesser-known nodes in the network of the Austrian School would go on to have a much more profound impact on the world than the academic heirs of that tradition.” Felix Somary who became one of the founders of Swiss private banking. Richard Schüller, one of the best-connected diplomats of his time, who played an equally underestimated role in the return to peace after the World Wars and the independence of small post-war Austria.  The difference between the Prussians of that era and their focus on Politics, VS the Austrian focus on culture and enterprise. “In the Austrian empire, a limited group of merchants had been granted total economic freedom and tax exemptions to make up for the relative backwardness of the empire. Successful entrepreneurs gathered in Vienna, and their quickly rising wealth brought leisure without political clout, influencing, among others, people like Menger and Hayek.“ “In a way, they resembled the Scottish Tobacco merchants whose leisure and similar distance from the state had fostered the Scottish Enlightenment. And there had indeed been old intellectual connections through Scottish and Irish monks and the scholastic tradition.” How did Switzerland emerge in the first place? Switzerland and Alpine Regions as microcosms and remnants of the glory of Europe. Emergent VS Top Down enlightenment. Who were the Fabians & the Jacobins? What is their view & model of the world? Why has that remained so appealing? Does Bitcoin change that? This was an incredible conversation and one that I hope you will learn alot from. Rahim made a book recommendation: “The Raven of Zurich” Go pick that up.

Can you enter the psychological realm without also entering the realm of spirit? And what are the consequences of the latter? Welcome to the third Episode of The Psychedelic Series on The Wake Up Podcast. Will Spencer & Tomer Strolight join me to discuss a wide range of ideas, both for and against the use of such substances. This is one of the best, and most requested series I've recorded. More episodes coming up, and each will cover topics listed below, and more: What are psychedelics? Why Psychedelics? Why did you choose to take this side of the discussion? Why does it matter so much to you? What is your story of psychedelics? Did it make you more open or close minded? What’s your position on Ego? What’s your position on Masculine & Feminine energies? What’s your position on trauma? Are you familiar with the Adlerian School of Psychology? Do you sit in the cause or effect side of the universal equation? Who are people you respect. Current and ancient figures. Why? What values do you respect in individuals? What social norms do you think matter most, and which are we missing? Do you think the world has issues right now that are resultant of liberalism or conservatism? Do we live in a society that is over-medicated? Are people weaker as a result of always having a cushion? Thoughts about the normalisation of these substances in the modern age & their use by the ‘average person’? Thoughts on their use as ‘medicines’? Thoughts on their use as shortcuts or even pathways to ‘enlightenment’? “Beware of Unearned wisdom” Are psychedelics a tool? If so, then are they not neutral? And if neutral, are most people not good candidates for this? If no, then why are they strictly good? Are we not seeing the effects of a civilisation in moral decay because everything is liberated, progressive and relative? Everything is apparently an illusion anyway, so fuck structure, fuck order, fuck ego and fuck authority. Is this not a danger? + So much more. Tune in for the month of November to go down this rabbit hole. You will NOT be disappointed.

"Respect goes up, Love comes down" - Elliot Hulse This is a show I've wanted to do for a very long time. Elliot is someone I've respected since my early 20s when I watched his strong man and "Yo Elliot" videos on YouTube. In fact, it was around when YouTube first started. Crazy shit. I've watched him transform, as I have transformed, and here we are more than a decade later having a discussion about topics of the utmost importance. Masculinity. Frame. The Bible. We covered alot. I asked him about his journey from Strong man into Christianity  From Boy into Man. We discussed: Rites of passage Ego death. Frame Attitude Purpose. Responsibility Aggression And something he said recently, which I found very, very powerful: "Respect goes up, Love comes down" We spoke about the point at which Chaos meet Order. And how modernity has both weakened the Masculine and eroded the Feminine. How we're simultaneously experiencing excessive stultification of false order and excessive moral relativism and feminine chaos. I asked about the relationship of all this to the French Revolution The initial tearing down of the Patriarchy, figuratively and literally speaking The erosion of Fatherly rule in the family,  How much was Louis 16th to blame? Had he been more framed, would this have happened? And lastly... Men Marry, Women are given in marriage. The passing of the Authority. The Dowry Father's relationship to the boy VS the girl. There's alot more. This has to be one of my best shows. Enjoy. Check out Elliot's Work Here: https://www.youtube.com/user/elliottsaidwhat https://www.makemenstrongagain.com/ https://www.instagram.com/elliotthulse/ And check out a couple of his videos on Biblical Masculinity which inspired me to reach out to him: Short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50ggIWBzSAw&t=19s Full clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DksVcufmvkU ____________________________________ Thanks again for listening.
