"Our primary payment methods are crypto. Lightning is actually about 50% of all deposits on our platform. The pay per use, the extremely small fees, the final settlement of Lightning, is huge. And so I think that if we were to fast forward ten years, I think that subscriptions are going to be used less in ten years than they are now. And companies like PPQ that are offering it all in one place, on a per use model, are going to win." - Matt Ahlborg Listen to Chat_153 - Welcome to Subscription Hell with Matt Ahlborg

"It's almost certain [CSW] holds the record for the most number of forgeries submitted to a UK trial, a UK court case. There is nothing in any written records that exceeds the number of forgeries attributed to him. There is no written records anywhere of anyone coming close to him in terms of one person being responsible for so many forgeries, so he is almost certainly a record holder in that respect. If you think if he put that much effort into doing good in the world, think of the amount of good he could have done." ~ Mark Hunter Listen to Chat_152 - Forging Satoshi with Mark Hunter and Arthur van Pelt on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain:

"I don't understand. And I'll never understand why people are so desperate to believe him when it is. so he puts his foot in it so many times, like again and again and again. He'll say something or do something that completely undermines something that he's previously said or done, and they for some reason, refuse to let it register. And I mean, this is something that when this whole saga, however this whole thing finishes, it's going to be the one enduring thing for me is how do people still believe him after all the lies, and why are they so determined to believe him." ~ Arthur Van Pelt Listen to Chat_152 - Forging Satoshi with Mark Hunter and Arthur Van Pelt on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain:

Is Bitcoin a lie? Or does Bitcoin solve the very failures critics accuse it of creating? 🤔 I break down Mike Brock’s critique to explore whether Bitcoin really breeds cruelty or reveals a deeper layer of cooperation we’ve overlooked.

I’m revisiting one of my most-shared videos: What Does $6 Trillion Mean? $6T sounds abstract , until you translate it into real human time and sacrifice. Money created from nothing doesn’t vanish… it erases value, warps incentives, and steals the weight of our decisions.

Bitcoin might be the best collateral humanity has ever invented. Instantly verifiable, instantly transferable, never freezes, never defaults: 👉🏻 Houses take months 👉🏻 Stocks have restrictions 👉🏻 Gold needs trust ... Maybe we’re still thinking way too small about Bitcoin. In today’s episode, we break down a powerful chapter from Bitcoin is The Ultimate Collateral to explore why Bitcoin’s perfect digital scarcity, portability, uptime, and auditability make it fundamentally different from every legacy form of collateral.

"As far as I can tell, yes, there might be a little more OP_RETURN used with a policy that's more lenient, but any bytes that go into OP_RETURN are probably bytes that don't go towards inscriptions. Those are the main competitors. I think their payments are pretty small. They have more economic density per weight, in my opinion. They will price out this spam. If you look at the prices for this stuff, they're down 30x from the top. Overall, the trend is this goes to zero—and then people stop doing it because it's expensive." ~ Murch Listen to Chat_151 - Bitcoin Technically, Ideologically, and Actually with @Murch on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain:
