Four months ago, Dr. Saifedean Ammous published the most succinct apology for Bitcoin as a viable alternative to state-issued fiat currency in his book “The Bitcoin Standard,” (https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861/) which also serves as a de fact apology for the perennially controversial idea known as Bitcoin Maximalism. Regardless of your opinions on cryptocurrency, Dr. Ammous' thoughts are well worth hearing.

Dr. Ammous, when he’s not being interviewed or tweeted at, is an assistant professor of economics at the Lebanese American University, a prolific researcher and writer, as per his papers available on SSRN, and a world-class grill-master.

Controversy is a hallmark of almost every discussion about Bitcoin, and podcasts like this one are an excellent platform for discussing contentious opinions.

This seventeenth coin pod features Daniel Krawisz' flatly controversial, provocative opinions on Bitcoin forks, defining bitcoin, competing versions of bitcoin, the Lindy Effect, and much more.

This seventeenth coin pod features Daniel Krawisz' flatly controversial, provocative opinions on Bitcoin forks, defining bitcoin, competing versions of bitcoin, the Lindy Effect, and much more. Daniel co-founded the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute, is a software developer, and hosts the YouTube show "Bitcoin Stuff" (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC43D9FHfQc4uj7HZAhX97Rg). He and I didn't agree on much, but this is definitely a coin pod you don't want to miss.

Institutional investors increasingly flock toward bolstering Bitcoin adoption and grow its developing community. Even though these efforts aren’t universally seen as a net positive development, a strong case can be made for the benefits of “big money” entering Bitcoin.

Ethan Ackerman joins me to co-host this coin pod in which we chat about institutional investors entering bitcoin, investing in altcoins, maximalism, and more with Mark Yusko, a fervent bitcoin apologist, an active investor in the so-called “crypto” space and CEO of Morgan Creek Capital.

For nearly ten years, Bitcoin has been widely known as an experiment, something new, yet-to-be proven resoundingly successful, and very much in its early stages of development. Whether Bitcoin is still an experiment or not, the rivals of, nominal threats to, and vitriol for the project compound daily. Separating the inconsequential noise from potentially serious threats to Bitcoin is crucial.

For this episode, I chatted with Giacomo Zucco about threats to Bitcoin, legitimate ones and bogus ones. You’ll need to buckle in for this episode, as Giacomo unloads an unfair amount of incredibly important knowledge, critical to understanding Bitcoin in light of nay-sayers and would-be rivals in the so-called “crypto” space.

The security vulnerabilities of centralized cryptocurrency exchanges are attributes very much inherent to centralized exchange. Andreas Antonopoulos frequently comments that there are only two types of centralized exchanges: the ones that have been hacked and the ones that have yet to be hacked. And the long and continually-growing list of hacks demonstrates that he’s probably right.

An alternative to centralized exchanges comes in the form of decentralized exchanges, of which one of the most promising is Bisq (https://bisq.network/). Today, Chris Beams (https://twitter.com/cbeams), co-founder of Bisq, joins me to chat about decentralized exchanges categorically and, more specifically, the Bisq project.

Bisq is one of the leading decentralized exchanges in the Bitcoin space due in no small way to their uncompromising stance on pure decentralization, Chris explains. The strategy, challenges, progress, and on-going work at Bisq shows the immense potential of decentralized exchange in a space currently clogged with vulnerable centralized exchanges.

That central banks should buy Bitcoin is an increasingly common aspect of the narrative surrounding cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin and meat share a strong and increasingly popular association in the world Satoshi Nakamoto created. Vegetables and carbohydrates are passé; filet mignon and prime rib are in vogue.

Michael “Bitstein” Goldstein joins me for episode four to explain this trend and clarify that it’s not just a fad. Abandoning carbohydrates and plant food for a zero-carb, ketogenic, or carnivorous diet is an important and long-term decision made by many bitcoiners in obedience to volumes of experiential evidence and evolutionary science that corroborate the astounding effects of an all-meat diet.

But why would anyone give up pizza forever? And what exactly does it have to do with Bitcoin?

Find out in the latest episode of The Coin Pod, which pairs well with a tall glass of water and a steak.

Hardcore cryptocurrency wonks love autonomy, individuality and even anarchy. But hodling comes with some rules. Eight rules, to be exact. In this coin pod, Brenden Matthews discusses his latest project: The Hodler Manifesto.

Brenden’s manifesto explains the eight rules every hodler must follow. Zack and Brenden talk through each rule, considering their importance and discussing possible exceptions.

Rule 1: A true hodler does not sell their coin.
Rule 2: A true hodler buys the dip.
Rule 3: A true hodler remains steadfast in spite of FUD.
Rule 4: A true hodler keeps their coins off exchanges and online wallets.
Rule 5: A true hodler buys good and services with their coin.
Rule 6: A true hodler spreads the good word.
Rule 7: A true hodler does not get FOMO when another coin rises.
Rule 8: A true hodler will run their own full node.
