I'm officially turning the recordings of my Bitcoin course lectures (in Portuguese: ) into a coherent set of lecture notes. This is a work in progress and will be developed at:

The case for Bitcoin is not inflation. It is probably the only thing you will be able to truly possess. It's a case for private property.
Nunca imaginei ser convidado para qualquer podcast, quanto mais o da BIPA com o mestre Caio Leta que acompanho com frequΓͺncia. Falamos um pouco da minha trajetΓ³ria e do papel das universidades.
How much does it worth (not how much it costs) to send IP packets over the internet nowadays? That's the expected value of one satoshi in a future where bitcoin is as omnipresent as the internet. The screen price tells you nothing about the true value of Bitcoin.
Try to use your brain instead of trying to be right.
Great talk with @Ella Hough today at @Satsconf about bitcoin initiatives at universities. As I say, this is the institutionalization era of Bitcoin and it will be done when universities start to formally teach Bitcoin courses and programs. Ella is driving it from the students side, I'm pushing it from the inside. Let's see what future reserves us. image

Next week I'm attending @Satsconf to talk about the gap between Bitcoin and the Academia. They say that to change academia is like moving a graveyard: you can't count with their inhabitants. This is true in so many aspects. Yet, I believe both communities could benefit from more interaction. For academia, Bitcoin is a huge source of problems in the frontier of knowledge that require strong science. Also, it's an opportunity for working on real-world projects that will impact the lives of millions for good. Contributing to open source is an obvious way of returning the humongous investment all countries make in higher education in a meaningful way. On the Bitcoin side, having some of the smartest brains around has the potential to accelerate the pace of innovation and security in many protocols. This is not to say that Bitcoin needs the academic community, quite the contrary. If we, scholars, don't get out of the ivory tower and embrace the self-organizingethos of Bitcoin and related technologies, we will be obliterated by reality. View quoted note β†’
