Next Episode: The Metaverse, Virtual Reality, Taxes, ALL of the Taxes, An Evergrande Crisis Update, Nate's BlockFI Update, and Does The SEC Consider Cryptocurrencies Securities

First, we talk about all of the issues why Bitcoin versus other cryptocurrencies. This includes an accidental hard fork by Ethereum and how Solana went down.

This leads to a short discussion NFTs and why Nate doesn't own them.

Then we get into how Bitcoin could become a world reserve asset and then reserve currency and whether politicians understand Bitcoin. This leads us to discuss who gets Bitcoin and who doesn't and what traits lead to an easier and faster understanding of Bitcoin.

All of this leads to a long discussion on how to make better decisions about which information to trust in order to determine truth and how important the signal is when typically adverse parties agree on something.

Then we get into vaccine mandates and the executive order by President Biden.

We finish off with a discussion on trying to de-extinct the Woolly Mammoth and whether we would eat lab-grown meat.

Here is Lyn Alden's piece Analyzing Bitcoin’s Network Effect and here is the audio version.

Here are the two pieces on why some people dismiss Bitcoin. The first article is Why The Yuppie Elite Dismiss Bitcoin by Croesus, and the second is Bitcoin Is For Foxes by Allen Farrington.
