"Excellent. Well, thank you so much, Adam. And shifting over to traditional markets, shares and first republic in several other U.S. regional banks plunged on Monday as investors worried that regulators had not done enough to stem deposit outflows following the collapse of Silicon Valley bank. Comparing against our last markets update on Friday in the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over half of a percent, while the S&P 500 fell four tenths of a percent. The tech heavy NASDAQ, meanwhile, gained four tenths of a percent. In Europe, stocks were down across the board. The German two year government bond yield suffered the largest drop on record, signifying increased safe haven buying and investors trimming expectations for European Central Bank rate hikes. The regional stock 600 and London's FTSE 100 both dropped 2.4%, while Germany's tax dropped just under 3%. Over in Asia, stocks were mixed, Hong Kong sang sang index gained two tenths of a percent while China Shanghai composite index gained 1.2%. Japan's nikkei two two 5 bucked the trend and fell 1.1%. In commodities markets, Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil, fell 1.2%, trading at $80 and 61 cents per barrel, gold meanwhile, gained 3% over the weekend, training in $1914 per Troy ounce.

"Today's featured story is an opinion piece from Aubrey strobel, the host of the observation podcast and former head of communications at lolly. Our feature today is entitled why yugo labs embrace of Bitcoin NFTs is a big deal. It could not be a more interesting time in Bitcoin. You collabs the $4 billion company behind the board API club non fungible token or NFT series, generated more than $16 million from its first NFT auction using the ordinals protocol built on top of Bitcoin. These 288 NFTs, part of a collection called 12 fold, created shockwaves through the crypto community on Tuesday. The company announced its plans to launch the project last week. A move that should not be understated. Yugo labs is a juggernaut in the NFT space. They developed three of the current top ten most valuable NFT collections and owns the intellectual property for more. And so far has not created any NFTs on any other blockchain besides Ethereum, where the majority of digital collectibles currently exist, meaning that one of the largest companies in crypto is betting big on Bitcoin. Interestingly enough, development on Bitcoin has been trending up during this crypto downturn. This week, there's been talk about deploying ZK or zero knowledge roll ups on top of Bitcoin. The ordinals project is kept its momentum, and a buzzy decentralized social media protocol called noster, which uses Bitcoin lightning for payments, is gaining users. So where did this all begin? For many years, people regarded the world's number one digital currency as something of a pet rock. That's not a dig against Bitcoin, it's a result of its careful design and stewardship. Bitcoin is meant to be sound money, and it does a fantastic job of that. But at the same time, people and companies have been asking, could Bitcoin be bigger. Though NFTs began on Bitcoin via counterparty many years ago, they were not as popular during the last bull market because Bitcoin is not smart contract friendly. Building on the network takes a bit more work than building on network's design to run decentralized applications. The ordinals project took advantage of a Bitcoin upgrade from two years ago called taproot and allows for digital artifacts to be inscribed as it's called on the actual blockchain. So called Bitcoin NFTs are notably different and potentially better than NFTs on Ethereum, which often require data to be stored on external servers such as IPFS, and Ethereum NFT is an immutable token, which links back to potentially mutable data. Ordinals make storing NFTs more secure because settlement stays on Bitcoin's chain forever. It's possible that many other popular NFT series could follow yugos footstep and deploy projects on Bitcoin. In fact, ordinal creator Casey radom are created a so called burn address that makes it possible to destroy an NFT series on Ethereum while inscribing and redeploying it on Bitcoin. It remains to be seen whether people and capital will ditch networks like Ethereum and Solana, for Bitcoin entirely. But it is impossible to deny that this is a new day for the original cryptocurrency. Instead of simply being held, more and more Bitcoin may be put to use. Yukos embrace of ordinals is just a catalyst for embers that were already burning. Last year, for instance, trust machines, a startup looking to build the Bitcoin ecosystem raised a $150 million to build Bitcoin products. Counterparty, liquid, stacks, RSK, lightning, and others have been around for years building sound infrastructure on which people could use their sound money. And of course, many of these projects have been met with varying amounts of skepticism, the trend encapsulated by the love it or hated response to ordinals. In one camp, many believe that Bitcoin should not be a test bed for development or a home for frivolous projects. While in the other, that ordinals, noster, and other projects are the next on ramp for BTC adoption. So, the online Bitcoin community is it's something of a metaphorical fork in the road, because ordinals is not going away anytime soon. People want to build on Bitcoin, and because it's open-source, they can. This brings us to perhaps the most important element here, the on chain evidence. One statistic you can't deny is that the ordinals project tip the number of nonzero Bitcoin addresses to a new all time high of some 44 million. According to data from glass node. Time will tell on the future of Bitcoin, you can embrace of the platform should be a signal that the future is bright, and there's still much to be explored in this exciting and dynamic industry. And that's our show for today. Thank you very much for listening.

"Today's featured stories and opinion piece from Noelle atchison, the former head of research at coindesk and genesis trading, and the author of the crypto is macro now newsletter. Our piece today is entitled, yes, crypto is still early. They say patients is a virtue, but markets, at least the parts and participants that we hear about every day, like quick hits. Long-term investors may sleep better at night, but they don't get much time in the spotlight. When it comes to crypto development, however, patients is paid off. Networks that launched in beta with big promises of fast growth have ended up floundering because of hasty design. Others, such as Bitcoin that have grown slowly and organically, have withstood the test of time, despite acute stress testing and powerful enemies. Even these slow moving networks have shown significant progress in terms of user growth and global awareness. Nevertheless, though, the arc of growth in global understanding of this new technology is barely getting started. Critics accused the crypto ecosystem of failing to come up with a clear utility in spite of global evidence to the contrary. They accused us of hiding behind the we're still early excuse. These are generally people steeped in traditional market ethics, who expect clear and tangible results after just a few years of evolution, and they believe the perceived fact that these results have a materialized means they never will. I even recently heard someone insist that the Internet didn't take so long to get off the ground. Well, not quite. Arpanet, the precursor to today's vast network sent its first message in 1969. HTML and the first global accessible websites didn't appear until 22 years later. 7 years after that, a renowned economist was still insisting that the Internet was unlikely to be relevant. We're only 14 years into the development path that was triggered by the processing of the first Bitcoin transaction way back in 2009. Just imagine where the industry will be in 2031, 22 years after the blockchain's equivalent first message. And what kind of dismissals it will still be getting 7 years after that. We are still early. For further proof of this, we need look no further than a casual scan of crypto headlines on any day we care to choose. There will inevitably be several talking about the evolution of existing blockchains, new blockchain designs, use case controversy, and so on. Even the longest running blockchain, Bitcoin is still evolving. The community is currently caught up in a debate over whether it should be used for non fungible tokens. On one side, we have those who believe in the power of evolution, experimentation, and the lack of gatekeepers. On the other, we have those who worry about silly pictures so called clogging the network and attracting from its payments use case. On the periphery are those who insist that Bitcoin will never be used for payments. And yet, in emerging, as well as not so emerging markets, there are many who already do. In some, even Bitcoin's utility is still being debated, just as its technological potential is being probed and expanded other large networks such as Ethereum are in greater stages of flux, upgrades to alter its functionality, radical changes to something as fundamental as address management, rapid layer two growth, fierce experimentation with security and privacy technologies, new applications, revised versions of existing ones and ambitious Ethereum killer competitors still emerging. In all truth, if you think about it, how can we not be early when we are still debating technology standards, let alone applications. Historian and economist carlotta Perez talks about the cycles of technology adoption. First comes the installation phase in which the infrastructure is built and comes to deployment phase when the technology is broadly adopted. Obviously, we're still far from broad adoption. We don't even yet agree on what that means. And not only are we still in the early phases of installation, we're also trying to establish a new technological base with fragmented initiatives, pursuing emerging use cases on a global fragmented stage. What's more, we're doing so with strong regulatory resistance. This is frustrating, but understandable. Blockchain technology is not trying to improve widgets or help us move faster. One of its main aims is to transform how we transact, and thus the technology is perceived as a threat by today's gatekeepers. Arguably, finance should change slowly because there's so much at risk. But resistance to change also poses a material danger to societal cohesion. People with at least a passing acquaintance with history know that our civilization moves in cycles, each driven by a radically new technological innovation. It remains to be seen whether blockchain technology will usher in a new cycle, or continue to build on that initiated with the rollout of the Internet. I personally believe the former, but either way, only 14 years in, more early. Critics are right in calling us out for sometimes hiding behind the early excuse to explain bad behavior and lax code vetting. Just because we're a young ecosystem doesn't mean we can't do better. But that means that we can call out those who stand on the outside looking in. While criticizing us for not doing more for not trying harder. And for not succeeding, despite the audacity of the change that we want to see. And the colossal obstacles that have been in our way since the beginning. We can call out vested interests, those that put these static before the dynamic. And those more interested in the convenient than the meaningful. Back in 2014, venture capitalist Marc andreessen, compare the state of Bitcoin then to that of the Internet in 1994. I disagree with his diagnosis. What he made his comments, Bitcoin was more like the Internet in the 1980s, still figuring out what he wanted to be and how it could become useful. But here's the thing. Most of us couldn't have invested in early Internet businesses. That generational opportunity was limited to venture capitalists and their accredited investors. With the blockchain ecosystem, however, investment in early opportunities is open to anyone with an Internet connection. Anywhere in the world. And often the investment is not, as in the 1990s, in a shell or a rapper that represents the technology. Now, the investment can be in the technology itself. So when you might ask, well, we no longer be early. When mainstream coverage is as much about adoption and new applications, as it is about asset price moves. When the technology ceases to intimidate the crypto curious, when regulators see new financial applications as opportunities rather than threats. That day may seem very far at the moment, but it's not. Whether it's 5, ten or 20 years from now, the crypto ecosystem is unlikely to give up or even really slow down. Anyone who's ever built anything lasting knows that persistence and scale, wins. And that change may seem a long time coming right up until the moment it starts happening fast. And that's our show for today. Thank you very much for listening.

"Today's featured stories and opinion piece from Noelle atchison, the former head of research at coin desk and genesis training, and the author of the crypto is Macron now newsletter. Our piece today is entitled and overlooked source of Bitcoin support. It's price floor. The Shirley is the earth spins on its axis, spring emerges after a winter. This applies to markets as well, and few markets have suffered as brutal winter as crypto assets. It's not just the collapse of prices. It's also the implosion of key components of market infrastructure, starting with the Terra ecosystem and ending with, well, that's still to be determined. The two threads of doom, a weakening macro environment, and structural fragility fed upon each other with price drops unmasking faulty disclosures, risk practices, and incentive constructs, which led to further price drops and further unmasking. Until they didn't anymore. And that's the part that I want to focus on here. Why prices have stopped falling? In early November, as the shock of the FTX revelations tore through the ecosystem, Bitcoin suffered what would be its last leg down, dropping to around $16,000. The bad news did not stop coming. The bankruptcy, the magnitude of the fraud and the spread of the damage, the suspension of withdrawals, and subsequent bankruptcy of the industry's blue chip lender, concerns about Bitcoin's largest fund, the hits, kept coming. But Bitcoin did not fall further when, just by the bleakness of the narrative, in theory it should have. So what happened? It has to do with Bitcoin's multiple use cases. Many insist that the asset is only about speculation. There's no fundamental value, price is driven by narrative, and nobody uses it. This blinker assumption even tends to come from experienced market watchers, which is an encouraging lesson for the rest of us, as in no one understands everything, no matter how much of a household name they may be. Those of us who have been paying attention know that they're wrong. Bitcoin is not just for speculation. It is a speculative asset. Sure, trading volume picked up from local lows at the beginning of the year. Although it's still relatively low, volume is a consequential $13 billion per day on reputable exchanges. According to data from the block, while we don't know who is behind these trades, on chain data tells us that the vast majority of Bitcoin moved on any given day was last moved in the previous 24 hours. In other words, most on chain activity is short term churn. And while some of that could be payments, we can probably assume that at least most of it for now is the result of speculative moves. However, this accounts for less than half of the Bitcoin in circulation. Most Bitcoin held in addresses doesn't move much. More than 67% of the supply hasn't moved in more than a year. Almost 50% hasn't moved in more than two years. When so far this year, most of that cohort could have sold it a profit. Even being conservative and removing altcoins dormant for more than ten years because they could be considered lost over half of outstanding BTC has been stationary for more than a year. While any of these holdings could be sold at any time and many probably will should Bitcoin prices continue to rise, these address owners are not pure speculators. For them, Bitcoin is a long-term investment. The store of value. The hedge. Whatever you want to call it. For them, Bitcoin does have utility seemingly beyond short term speculation. A quick caveat though about address based analysis. With the recent mass exit from exchange custody, given the concerns about market structure, reading address tea leaves is harder than ever. For instance, the number of nonzero addresses is shooting up. But this doesn't necessarily mean an uptick in activity. It could just be people taking possession of their coins from exchanges. In other words, these are not necessarily new users. They might just be moving coins around. Or they could be new users. We just don't know. However, when looking at Bitcoin that hasn't moved in a while, we can be relatively confident about what we are seeing. You can't disguise a lack of movement. If anything, the HODLer positions are probably understated, many investors may have held their BTC on exchanges up until the market drama. They are long-term holders, but on chain, they appear as short term holders. But back to our story. Bitcoin is a speculative asset, and it's a long-term investment. For some, it is a payments tool, at least judging from the growth of the lightning network. Bitcoin is all of these at once, and perhaps in a future, it will also be a non fungible token or NFT platform. Who knows? This multifaceted use case lends support. Back when Bitcoin's price was at the local floor, accumulation was scooping up the cell pressure for minors and exiting speculators. That provided some price support and goes a long way towards explaining why, even amid further terrible news, the price didn't fall more. A recent chart from glass node color codes accumulation, according to address size. Purple represents large holders accumulating, yellow shows that smaller participants are becoming more active. Back in November, after Bitcoin dropped a $16,000, large holders were buying the dip. Some of that could have been for speculation, but back then, sentiment was as bleak as I've ever seen it. Volatility moves suggested that traders were stampeding for the exits and speculators generally found more attractive risk profiles elsewhere. This multi use case not only provides a strong floor support and also explains why even experienced traditional market watchers sometimes don't get it. Can you think of any other asset that has multiple use cases? Gold and real estate come to mind, even art perhaps. But these have a millennia of understanding behind them, and they're rarely confused with speculative assets because their prices are not volatile, nor are these assets particularly liquid, with the exception of gold, although it could be argued that physical bars are only liquid at certain times of the day and certain days of the week if they're held at a centralized depository which itself introduces new vulnerabilities. It is not easy to conceive of a liquid, always on asset that represents different things to different people. This further underlines just how unusual Bitcoin is. It speculative and volatile. It's also treated by many as a long-term investment, and history has shown that this lends the asset floor support while giving an ample upside. Another reason why many seasoned investment veterans don't get it is what they read in the media. Sharp price moves, uncovered fraud, exploits, and examples of hype make for dramatic headlines, which get clicks and keep media business models afloat. It's easy to see how those without the time are interested to dig deeper would take that as the whole story, especially when they're used to feeling smart. But Bitcoin's theoretical and demonstrated price floor is a key feature of the asset's asymmetrical risk. At these levels, the potential upsides far surpass the potential downsides. Especially now that we know the floor is not $0. Truly smart investors go beyond the headlines, even when it means going outside of comfortable frameworks. And what's more, Bitcoin's use cases are still evolving. One example is that it works possible use as a base for NFTs. Another is the potential applications of smart contracts. This will not only impact the debate around intrinsic value so called, it will also add more layers to the price floor. More traditional assets, even those also poised to benefit from the return of liquidity, don't have this evolution embedded in the asset itself. This implicit price floor goes a long way towards explaining why Bitcoin is rallied so strongly earlier in the year. The price floor evolution also positions the asset, as an intriguing, longer term bet. The narrative is yet again. Shifting. And that's our show for today. Thank you very much for listening.

"Today's featured stories and opinion piece from David Z Morris, coin desk's chief insights columnist. Our piece today is entitled is the SEC really the bad guy. They say time moves faster in crypto. And I'm not sure anyone feels that more than we journalists. We're tasked with keeping track of more or less everything that's going on. And tuning out for even a few days can leave you feeling so behind that there's no hope of catching up. I've been living that relentless reality for months between untangling the downfall of FTX and launching coin desk's new crypto crookes podcast. There wasn't much holiday to my holidays. So I was incredibly grateful to finally take a few days off recently to spend with family and to unwind. But it turns out that, as the old saying goes, I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. While I was taking a breather, events unfolded that were exceptional even in crypto terms. The continued descendants of ordinal inscriptions on Bitcoin has fascinating and potentially major implications, and in a different moment, it would be the most important story going on. Instead, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission better known as the SEC has taken center stage with major enforcement actions that many interpret as part of a blunt force effort to marginalize the entire crypto industry. It continued just days later with news of proposed new rules that would prevent registered investment advisers or RIAs from engaging with many existing crypto custodial services. After a year in which frauds and charlatans stole or destroyed tens of billions of dollars in investor funds, the SEC is focused much of its crackdown on entities that many crypto veterans would consider the good guys, and on services that are far less obviously dangerous than those that ran wild in 2021 and 2022. That reality holds many difficult lessons about the broader pattern of U.S. crypto and financial regulation. That's especially true of moves against the U.S. based exchange kraken, which paid $30 million in an SEC settlement and agreed to shutter its U.S. staking services. For many, the action feels woefully misplaced. Kraken has been a pillar of the crypto ecosystem for a decade, and has been a consistently honest actor. The particular tool in question may not have been structured ideally. It seems it was more vulnerable to attack as a security so called because it wasn't a straight fee based pass through for stakers. But the core service being provided was fundamentally valid and useful to the ecosystem. And entirely distinct from the so called lending platforms like Celsius network and Voyager digital that blew up last year. The parallel action against the B USD stablecoin feels only slightly less misdirected. The SEC reportedly plans to sue paxos, the issuer of the binance branded stablecoin, which the regulator considers an unregistered security. Paxos for their part says it will halt issuance of the token. Binance, the nominal patron of the token, and the largest offshore crypto exchange doesn't have quite the pedigree of kraken, particularly since it's a lightly regulated entity, but binance has been a broadly good actor for half a decade now. More to the point, BUSD may be the victim of some fuzziness around the concept of a stablecoin. Both regulators and crypto insiders are likely still traumatized by the incredibly violent collapse last spring of Terra USD, a stablecoin so called built on faulty ideas about algorithmic price stabilization. But BUSD is a backed stablecoin with dollars in a bank guaranteeing redemptions. The obvious read here is that there's some political expediency at play. These actions come after a year in which the SEC failed to spot or prevent massive frauds. A year in which, in fact, SEC chief Gary gensler was seen by some as unusually chummy with one of the biggest fraudsters. Cracking down on crack and impacts us is hard not to see as to some degree, making a show of enforcement on target so convenience. Dissenting SEC commissioner has their purse, is among those who share that general view. But there's little point whining about the SEC's post facto virtue signaling. The agency has the power and seems unlikely to change its stripes any time soon. There's more alpha and engaging with the real politic considerations of its operative logic than in grousing about how unfair it is. And that's especially true because, well, there really was a lot of embarrassing and damaging crypto fraud last year. As Bloomberg's Matt Levine points out, even the most reasonable counterpoints to misplaced regulation are going to fall on deaf ears. Once people lose enough money. It's hard to dispute that the 2021 bubble led investors, builders, and the media to feed retail hype and treat a series of con men, like heroes, the whiff of money, as it always seems to blunted critical faculties and pumped hopium into the vents. So while the SEC's crackdown is likely to put a lot of misplaced burden on entities that are substantially blameless, the crypto industry as a whole still needs to look inward and reckon with its own responsibility. And ask how it can better marginalize frauds on the front lines. The next time mass crypto mania returns. Clearly, we can't rely on the regulators to get it right for us. And that's our show for today. Thank you very much for listening.

"Hash for your ears. You're listening to the coin desk podcast network. Happy Thursday. Welcome to the hash. If you're watching on coin desk TV, you are seeing will foxley's amazing puffer jacket. It is immaculate and large and blue. It's a beautiful site. We got Jensen assy, Adam Levine, Mazda seward. Let's get to it. We'll have an update on the FTX case. That's right. And this is my mountaineering jacket and it is because I've very, very cold in this office today. It's absolutely freezing here, so I have to wear it. Okay, we are talking about ya boy, SPF. He's back in the news with 12 indictments to allegations against him previously, we only had 8, which, you know, that's not too many. 12 was a little bit higher and things look even worse. There's new indictments here, including a lot of stuff about how he gave political donations to people, did not disclose it correctly. There's also some new counts around wire fraud. All in all, the picture only becomes more bleak. There's some interesting information tidbits within the article you can find on coin desk dot com about these indictments, including how they were trying to give money to different groups in Washington, D.C., different packs, however they were choosing to give these donations out who they were giving the donations through during FTX or throughout media. It's a mess. It really is a mess, but it does shed some light into the actual political functions within FTX and with it. I'll meet itself. This was a very political organization. I'm going to throw this one over to Adam first when we get your take on it. Pretty interesting new findings this morning. I mean, I think that it's just the continued unraveling of a ball of yarn that we did not appreciate was quite as long as it has turned out to be. Again, like significant facade was put forward here if the allegations wind up being true, that as time goes on, we're just seeing is more and more and more wrong. So it's not a good story. It's not a good piece of news here, but I think it is a continuation. And to a certain extent, I said this in a while. My mother used to tell me if you can't be a shining example, at least be a horrible warning. And I have to think, that's kind of where we are in SPF's world right now as he went from being sort of what everybody aspires to be to being like the horror story that you really, really, really don't want to find yourself in the shoes of at this moment. So interesting, but not too much else there. Zach, I'll toss it down to will. Will. I got a fact check myself already. Bad day, bad day. It's not wire fraud in these cases that we just have wire fraud against in the new indictments are actually for bank fraud. So similar related but different Zach back to you. Yeah, I mean, this is just yeah, this is a crazy story that keeps getting crazier. There's some interesting details in here suggesting some of the inner workings of the FTX organization. Yeah, it's a remarkable. It's remarkable to see this. You know, giving money out to political campaigns and causes, seemingly hedging their bets across the board, right? I think SPF established himself as a prominent donor to the Democratic Party, but clearly we're seeing these documents that the Republicans were also targeted, sort of hedging all vets, donating in all places, seemingly strategic, I guess, in the diversity of places in which they were spending their money. Interesting nonetheless that we get to see these details come out and court filing such as this. So anyway, I think that all of you are on the big ball of yarn that we keep seeing unspooling here. It really does stick with you. Adam, I saw your handle, tossed to you. So you said strategic, I think I would say cynical. I think that what we've seen here is that the persona that SPF put forward was sort of, again, a facade, but it was a facade that was intended to work in the most cynical way that you possibly could imagine, right? He signaled all the right things that you're supposed to signal. He hated all the people who you're supposed to hate. You know, and kind of just like put himself into a mold that was exactly what sort of like mainstream reality wants and then he just filled that archetype and what we see here is that it was all of facade. And that in reality, if the allegations are correct, there was really none of the belief there. It was just, hey, this is the most expeditious way that I can arrange my myself and perception of me so that I can maximize my goals. But yeah, it's pretty wild. I think I saw a couple of hands. Zach, you want it back? I'll just take a quick and then it got tossed to the gym. But it recalls that the shibboleth, the shibboleths of woke media, the thing that came out with that early story that was revealed through Twitter DMs that he thought he was talking to reporter off the record was published, et cetera and I think there is sort of an emerging consensus from people who are watching this story closely, is that SPF didn't believe in anything. Therefore, he believed in everything, right? You know, I guess part of the philosophy was the ends justified the means, right? He was seeking to raise as much money as possible. Ostensibly or allegedly to do good in the world, right? With that money. And I think whatever got him to the point of most money as dictated by his understanding of effective altruism was the right path to pursue. And I think that sort of believing in nothingness to me was really exposed in that debate with Eric Voorhees, right? Who's sort of a true crypto libertarian? The famously SPF and Voorhees squared up on the bankless podcast and bad at these ideas back and forth. And it kind of became evidence sort of at that time. This was before some of these damning revelations about how meet a balance sheet. So before all that, but even sort of that began to open a window onto the fact that maybe this was a bit more nihilistic than previous generations of crypto believers had built. So anyway, lots of good stuff to go here. But Jen, I'm definitely got to get your word on this. Yeah, no, I think you guys all covered it. There was a source quoted in CNBC this morning, who's familiar with the new accounts that said that these could add another 40 years to the prison term for SPF if he is convicted

"Today's featured story is an opinion piece from Isaiah Douglas, a partner at Vinci or wealth management, and a contributing writer for coin desks, crypto for advisers, newsletter. Our piece today is entitled Bitcoin NFTs challenged the blockchain's largest use case. Money. There's been a lot of noise in questions recently about ordinal inscriptions. So what are they? The simple answer is that ordinals are non fungible tokens or NFTs that you can mint on the Bitcoin blockchain. But ordinal inscriptions aren't your usual NFTs, unlike Ethereum NFTs, which generally depend on offchain metadata that can be modified, ordinal inscriptions enable all data to be inscribed directly on chain. It was this flaw in Ethereum NFTs that caused software engineer Casey rodor to deem Ethereum NFTs incomplete and launch the Bitcoin ordinals protocol. Those in favor of change believe ordinal inscriptions could cause an important shift in the Bitcoin community and improve the technology behind NFTs. Yet many questions I've been receiving from clients boil down to, is this good or bad for Bitcoin? And will this disrupt the usability of it? Despite the potential benefits of ordinal inscriptions, there has been a lot of debate over whether they're a good use of block space. The challenge has been that as more ordinals are being inscribed, the cost of Bitcoin transactions has risen. That's because ordinals introduce additional non financial data to the Bitcoin blockchain. That bogs down on chain confirmation times. This includes images, audio clips, and even games. Those not in favor of ordinals see this as an impediment to the ability of Bitcoin to scale and reach full global adoption. Inscribing non fungible characteristics to satoshis, the individual increment of Bitcoin, which is what the ordinal protocol does may challenge Bitcoin's use cases first and foremost. Money. Ordinals challenge the fungibility of satoshis. That's the smallest unit of Bitcoin, which is one 100th million of a Bitcoin per satoshi. In the Bitcoin network, all satoshi should be equal, or they begin to lose a significant trait of money. But ordinals can alter the value of these units of money. Take rare collectible coins, for example, while a penny may have a face value of exactly one cent, it's designed and midyear could make it worth a dollar or more in the eyes of some beholders. This debate over whether these individual units must be deemed equal is unfolding before our eyes. And I think that it needs to be understood. Bitcoin is money, and that's the largest and most important use case impacting the most people in the world, which is why I believe that ordinals and other use cases both known today, and yet to emerge will remain niche. I view this as an exciting period, but one that, as many fads do, will fade. I don't see ordinals being desired for many, to use Bitcoin's block space. Bitcoin is money, in my opinion, any changes to the protocol should be slow and methodical. One of the biggest yet baseless claims I often hear is how Bitcoin doesn't evolve or change. Now, are there kernels of truth in that? Sure, you don't move fast and break things when working to build the next global monetary system. We'll leave that for venture capital backed startup firms. However, there have been some upgrades that demonstrate the need and merit of change. The lightning network, for example, could accelerate Bitcoin commerce and everyday use. Inscriptions are yet another example of attempts to change the blockchain. Inscriptions became eligible in Bitcoin blocks with the most recent upgrade to the protocol called taproot. Ultimately, the beautiful thing about Bitcoin is that it's permissionless, and the ultimate free market for uses. And this is what fosters change. At the same time, free and open markets will dictate if ordinals are demanded, and are valuable. The permissionless nature of Bitcoin allows for this competition to play out. Ordinals may stick around if individuals want to see them become a mainstay in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is governed by consensus rules, which is why running a node is essential, and why the so called block size war was foundational for Bitcoin. Ordinals are not an attack on Bitcoin, but could begin conversations again with a hard or soft fork. I view a hard fork as ordinals most painful in trying outcome. As an adviser, with clients with Bitcoin and questions on ordinals, the most significant takeaways revolve around what makes Bitcoin unique. Most, if not all other cryptocurrencies are decentralized in name only. Bitcoin is not. But due to the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, developers are free to modify Bitcoin's current rule set. If demand is there, and the modifications result in splits in Bitcoin's holders and the community, investors will have a choice over what to do with their money. If we see a hard fork, any new tokens or projects would accrue to clients and they could then decide if they wanted to hold sell or buy. So while it might seem scary, I doubt ordinals will create that much friction and division within Bitcoin, and even if it did, one could be passive and simply let market forces play out. Being an open permissionless protocol allows for moments like this to happen. And that's healthy in the long term. Regardless of opinions of right or wrong, seeing the conversations and debates happening about ordinals is good. It allows Bitcoin to test its resilience and robustness. And we'll continue to have these conversations as Bitcoin proceeds on its path towards global adoption. And that's our show for today. Thank you very much for listening.

Markets Daily Crypto Roundup

"Today's featured story is an opinion piece from Paul Brody, a coin desk columnist, and EY's global blockchain leader. Our piece today is entitled policymakers should embrace daos in the new future of abundance. When scarcity is the dominant economic model, accumulation of capital is the priority. This is the status quo for now. Within our current model, the most successful tool ever invented to accumulate and deploy capital is the joint stock company. And joint star companies, corporations, represent most of the private sector. But what happens if capital is not scarce anymore? Do we need corporations or should we look for something different and better? There are not many things that will always be scarce, but human attention is at the top of that list. Decentralized autonomous organizations or daos and cooperatives might be much better vehicles for accumulating attention and engagement. In Taos, cooperatives and staking systems, critical decisions are made by the members for the benefit of the members. And the rewards for engagement flow back to the members in proportion to their engagement and in alignment with their constructive participation. There's been much discussion about the shortage of clear, positive rules that would pave the way for the crypto ecosystem to return to growth. These are essential to bringing in good actors. We do not need a lot of new roles about what isn't allowed because nearly all the bad things that happen in 2022 were already illegal. Borrowing customer deposits without consent, not legal. Pumping and dumping tokens, not legal. Borrowing multiple times against the same asset. Also, not legal. The good news is that they're already exists illegal framework and organizational structure that dows can use to establish their real world credentials. The cooperative. Cooperatives, better known as co ops, have been around for a long time. And while the traditional corporate sector is about 5 to 7 times larger, the world's top 300 co ops still represent more than a $1 trillion in revenue combined. Co ops are member owned and unlike corporations, key decisions are made on a one member, one vote system. Profits are distributed two members based on participation. However, so those contributing the most also earn the biggest benefits. Co ops fix what I see as the single biggest problem in the web two era. The creation of so called predatory digital monopolies. The story of many web two businesses goes like this clever entrepreneur comes up with an application that connects buyers and sellers in a digital marketplace. They invest heavily, and for years in developing the digital infrastructure that coordinates information, products and payments across the ecosystem. They invest in sophisticated analytics, reputation management systems, and community engagement growth. All of those things are good, and no one can deny that enormous investments have been required to build the infrastructure that makes everything from online auctions to ride sharing to consumer shopping and to frictionless digital experiences. The problems come with success because these systems resemble natural monopolies. As they become dominant, they start to raise prices and slowly but surely shift from adding value to an ecosystem to extracting value from that ecosystem. Now, imagine if all those big companies were co ops, instead of corporations, imagine if, having paid back the initial investment with a good return, these cooperatives started distributing back the excess profits to the network participants. This sounds great. But if there is a defect in the vision of the future of abundance, it is that we are always approaching this end state, never arriving. Some things like real estate and human attention will probably never be unlimited. A marginal cost of zero is not the same as an average cost of zero. Interest rates at zero do not mean that you can walk into a bank and walk out with a pile of money for any reason in any amount. Good ideas will still need teams and investors and customers and profits. The good news is that cooperatives may be a very good fit here, a recent white paper by law firm or a Carrington and sutcliffe, explorers of co ops are an ideal legal model for daos, and it also outlines how co ops can work for for profit enterprises to accumulate capital and provide investors with exits. Cooperatives can buy shares and even a wholly owned for profit enterprises. They can also sell those shares to give for profit investors and exit without leaving them a near complete control of a digital ecosystem, while alleviating pressure to perpetually extract more value from a community. From B corporations to co ops to dows, the future of the enterprise is the future of harnessing the power of communities, accumulating attention and engagement and putting that to work for the public good. We need more policies and systems to make that possible. And that's our show for today. Thank you very much for listening.

Don't don't buy them don't Or if your children are watching certain things they happen to have it in front of them then you need to talk to them about what they're witnessing and talk to them about what they're doing and that goes with was it doesn't even have to be racially to -nificant it could be just anything that by and stuff and sexuality. That's on tv on the middle east. So you know you need to talk to him about it. That's the key point at. I think parenting plays a huge role in all of this and but amanda what about day-to-day counseling. I mean some council real life people for a variety of things. I mean i know two ladies who block each other on twitter over an argument about maroon five i mean so. Is it fair to counsel someone who disliked something you like. Be it maroon five religion politics or whatever i think it would be okay to cancel them if they're disrespecting you If they're disrespecting is one thing to say like Crystal could say she doesn't like downhome blues. I can say. I love downhome blues now. If i say chris oh if i started calling her at her her name right now and i started trolling her and get other downhome blues. Easy hill fans to trower. Then that's a problem we should be able to have conversations and say hey crystal doesn't like this okay. If i if she ever comes to my party. I'll take that off the please. You know like that's that's the type of thing it doesn't end our friendship but at the same time you're she says you know amanda you're a country bumpkin was wrong with you like in that song. You know i hate you now. Like that's that there are people who act like that so specific you started it. There are people who who act like. They're like don't like what i like all right. Well that's fine you know. There's there's people who do not gonna like the same things. But i think there's a respectful way to handle everything you know what i'm saying because you just never know you just never know who fills a certain type of way about something you know like if we're talking about maroon five. Well maybe you know. Adam levine is her. Her nephew were her cousin or her son or her. You know her Fantasy man like whatever it is like some somethings hit differently for different people. So i think that that you always have to look at where. Somebody's coming from So generally speaking people agreeing or disagreeing over different things and saying hey. I'm not a fan of this and you are fan of that. That shouldn't be a reason to block someone or not be friends but if someone has a disrespectful tone and you don't know it bothers you then then..

Speaking of Bitcoin
I Cant Afford One Bitcoin! What Can I Do?
"Bitcoin is hot. Stop amidst this current bull market. We've seen a rush of new users who like most new users have no what's going on and one question of particular comes up a whole lot that i wanted to talk about today. What do i do if i can't afford one bitcoin. I'm adam levine and this is speaking of bit point. Today's always i'm joined by the other host of the show. Andreas 'em and operas. Hello stephanie murphy. I am jonathan mahan. Hey thanks to all the hosts into you listener for sitting on today's session. So i was talking to some people new to the cryptocurrency space last week and they were talking about what they were looking at making the first coins and they said that bitcoin just cost too much that it was too expensive that even if they agreed with all of the fundamental values the changes that will happen in the world. How bitcoin is a hedge for that and that bitcoin was going to. Let's say three x or five x in the next ten years and they saw that is real that they just didn't feel like transferring their wealth into something that they would never have one that they would never have one bitcoin that even if they spent a decade doing everything they could they would only ever have less than one bitcoin as a failure state as something that like emotionally. They couldn't get past. And i started thinking about myself when i was in college. I learning about bitcoin. And honestly i don't know if bitcoin had hit thirty or forty thousand dollars instead of dollar if i could have seen it as something that i wanted to get into just because of that mountain cliff of believing in something but then feeling like a failure. Because you don't even have quote unquote one of it. What do you guys think about that. What do you think people should be thinking about when it comes to that. I think that's an important psychological marker that people check in with when they're thinking about do i wanna buy this. How much does it cost to buy. One of this thing and i mean the real solution to that is to reframe. You're thinking there's other units to measure bitcoin in lots of wallets denominate their balances in mila. Bits now which is one thousandth of a bitcoin and you can change that in the settings and so you know if you could afford one million. Bitcoin would you by that. What about wants to toshi. The units are actually quite arbitrary. And it doesn't help that. The news and everything reports the price in terms of one bitcoin but that is also kind of helpful for a very long term perspective to see that it went from being worth nothing up to you know nearly fifty thousand dollars. There's other things that exhibit similar behavior for example. Some stocks have extremely high unit prices. And of course you can buy fractions of them berkshire. Hathaway is a famous example of that other things that have this kind of tendency. Are things like precious metals. You know you don't say well. I'm not gonna invest in gold because i can't afford a whole kilogram bar. Well yeah i mean. You can't but that doesn't mean that you can't get an airing. It's still gold is just a different value. And the unifies works both ways so for example instead of saying why can't afford a bitcoin but i can't afford a bit which is millions of a bitcoin. You can't afford a bit and that has a nice name. It's not merely bitcoin. Which kind of makes it sounds like a bitcoin with too many feet. That's a bad greek joke. It's not a unit that has no relationship you could also just measuring soto. She's because we all know of course are the standard as i keep getting reminded and you could choose any arbitrary unit but you can also go the other way right. You could redefined for example. Ten bitcoin as a chad hike. Very few people can really afford to buy a whole chad. But could i buy one tenth of a chat of bitcoin or desi chavez. I prefer to call it it. Oh all of these things are completely arbitrary and you can torment yourself on way or rejoice the out there in a completely arbitrary way and this is the key here arbitrary. It's not rational to focus. On any specific unit and we have a word for things that humans do the deviate from rationality or norm and those are called cognitive by and this particular thing is called unit bias. It's of well known cognitive bias and is studied in psychology from a number of different perspectives. It's not just the. I want to own one bitcoin. It's also the if you give me a twenty four ounce cup of soda. I'm going to drink the whole thing. Just because it comes in that size even though i may be only wanted half of it or if you create a heaping plate of french fries or if you give me a giant bag of doritos i'm gonna finish everything. Unit biases be studied a lot in terms of portions for eating. Because it actually one of the things that drives a number of eating disorders because it's a cognitive bias. It's a bug in your ability to think rationally about certain situations and that bug can lead to behavior that is against your own self interest and so this is a normal thing to have unit bias and sometimes says expresses itself in hilarious ways like for example to jonathan's example of people saying well. I can't buy a whole bitcoin. you get the opposite. Which is people who bought into dosage and are looking at it at six cents going. Yeah we can get it to a dollar dollar while allowing me to answer that watson dollar. What you don't understand dear sir is that there are one hundred twenty nine does and they are produced at a rate of what is it. One point four million a day and so to get does to a dollar. It's total market capitalization would have to reach a hundred and thirty five billion dollars or basically where a theorem walls last week.

Now you don't remember? I gotta think about. Think about it. Last year, Mahomes won the Super Bowl Kansas City beat San Francisco Super Bowl 54. I don't even remember too hot women in their forties. Yes, you're on J. J. Lo. I thought was very disappointing. I thought she didn't look good. I thought the pole dancing was too much, But Shakira, Shakira was amazing. Amazing there. There are mixed feelings about this. There was an article in the post today where they were really coming down hard on the performance last year, and I feel The exact opposite. In fact, I think it was amazing. I'm a mom of a daughter, and I would let my daughter watch that. I think it's amazing that women in their forties and fifties or I agree with you. Yeah, you know that. It's a performance at the performance, so and then, you know, I would say another memorable show for me, and I wasn't necessarily old enough, but I did go back, and I did enjoy. This was Super Bowl 31 where the blues brothers said they were great. Yes, I remember it. Well, they let yeah, James Belushi thing and he looked like that weird. Grandpa. And that was that was that was John Belushi Gamble. His father James, in his your Your hair was in that movie. About last night with Rob Lowe went to meet more on Perkins. You know, for the longest time, and this is Lauren Common. She's so good with me and Bernie 9 25 every Friday in her own show, Red carpet Rendezvous, a podcast you how great she is Enthusiastic, adorable. She's great, so it was always a screw called up with people. It was just like nine million people who sang and danced. But there's nobody famous and they were the halftime show every year for the longest time before they decided. Hey, let's start bringing in famous personalities like you two did where the streets have no name out of Super Bowl and I was I loved it. I loved it. So that was the halftime show for a long time up with people that was their name, and then we got to the major celebrities right And I am so glad that now we're doing these major celebrities needs major musicians because this is for someone like me. Who's not a sports fan. This is what I look forward to you. It's a huge performance every year. Now, I will say my least favorite performance was actually recently in 2019 with Maroon five. That performance. Adam Levine left me wondering what what kind of favor he had to perform for whom we'll get this this job, soulless where they rate the best and worst halftime shows. And that was one of the worst. Was it. Okay, so I don't feel so bad about 20. I was like that is just so boring. It just It was very random. Maroon five. I didn't even think they were a thing anymore, but, you know, They are and now we've We've moved forward. We move past it and said, Let me ask you who was your favorite national anthem. Whitney Houston Super Bowl 25 Giants bills like SAT there was during the Gulf War. We waved our American flags we cried, and to this day, I would gather that that is the most popular national anthem of any event at any time anywhere. I agree with that. She was incredible. Totally incredible. Another favor for me was Lady Gaga. She was great. It was great. 16. Everybody tries to be Whitney. Now, you know, they try to make it longer and the end, But they just let you guys great gifts like Whitney working people find all your work. And what did they look for this week?

What Difference Does It Make
"adam levine" Discussed on What Difference Does It Make
"Yeah definitely it was. Yeah this wasn't working. Classes was just kind of internal. And so i think that's that's why there's some amazing songs on there but yeah valentine's day was was really a good one driving a big lazy car rushing up the highway in the dark. I got one hand on the wheel and one hands trembling over my heart pounding. Baby like it's going to bust on through nacre and stop till i'm alone again with you. You know ends with with a lot of doubt but you know. I woke up in the darkness scared breathing. born new. wasn't the cold river bottom. I felt rushing over me. Wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come. True wasn't the wind in the gray fields. I felt rushing through my arms. No no baby. It was you so hold me close. Honey say you're forever mine and tell me you'll be my lonely valentine and sweet and cuts to the heart really. Are you know like you know it's gonna cry. You know it's just ri. I mean he doesn't re- he doesn't write like that anymore. I cur you know that. That one little moment i think that was He's putting his heart out there and he's able to communicate in ways that i can't this was really a great great saw great album and that's why it was on my mix tape be on the spotify playlist excellent choices so there you go now. It's all you really. Well okay you can chime in. But i'm gonna tell you i. I also had a crowded house on my list. Wasn't i wasn't going to. It was going to be an honorable mention or no. You know how. I feel about crowded house Come from temple of low men. Nineteen eighty eight I was eighty. Eight and temple of low. Men was also from eighty eighth. Strangely enough the goodyear for music. Oh eighty eight was the year. We were separated so yeah those songs k. Fin hit home at the time. And they still do you know. That's that's what music is a wonderful is that can bring you back or remember things and then you know it. All comes rushing back very emotional. So yeah that's you could see. I get emotion just reading these lyrics. Sorry i wasn't mocking crying. Kids get kids do that all the time when the when the kings we're gonna win the stanley cup for the first time. I was all by myself watching it watching the game of my house and the kids come home and it was their countdown. And you hear. Bob miller talking you know i'm you know clump all sudden the kids coming data. Are you crying crying. Day at no get out of here as don't be afraid to say don't be too much all right so go ahead. Great what we stop looking are not. I can't see not reading your notes okay. Same as as the not crowded house but the same as Abc all of my heart was early going nineteen eighty-two from upstairs at oh only you from my yazoo. Yeah yes whatever you wanna call them. But i again i feel him saying i'm repeating myself. I'm saying the same thing about everything but this is another one that just kind of not rips my heart out this one. Because i don't think this one was emotional. There's there's other way really to describe this this. I didn't know. I learned something new about the song and i have loved the song from the second. I heard it. Vince clarke was about to leave depeche mode and he wrote this song for them. He wanted them to have a good single to start off. Nineteen eighty-two but depeche mode did not want the song so instead they've released another song called. Cu that martin gore had written years. Before and this. I ended up on on. Yeah zoo's debut album. Which is so great so i love the song. There's just all it's because of alison. She's got amazing. She has really. I think i've listened to her almost everyday to this day on my pandora. Like alison way radio. Yeah do i love love. Love love okay. So there is my to nineteen eighty two. You get two songs. I think i might devote the rest of my songs to bryan adams bryan adams. You seem shocked that i that i huge bryan adams would not. I see adam levine. Or you know it's like you got your bright hours. You got your adam levine. I see what you like. Adam levine could've been ryan adams if he was canadian and lived in the eighties and was like twenty in the eighty s. Right maybe maybe maybe okay. I can see how you're making that comparison adams could have been adam levine in the two thousands and i love them both. Okay you know what that's fine. I think you might be right. I think so as low as i am. I am to admit it because bryan adams what you get. I've seen i've seen him. I dragged my e. Every time he comes bryan adams. I drag him. He won't see. Adam levine with me but bryan adams he will and it is a solid show every time you know what you're getting and he rocks. I mean he rocks his band great. He's great he gives you know he gives a great show off. Its you're kind of show but you you know what you're going to get and it is just perfectly awesome. And with adam levine. Also is kind of the same thing. it's he is a good performer. But you do know what. You're going to get when you go to that show. But i think Brian adam guess. It's i guess maybe you're right there are. It's a fair comparison. But i i had a really hard time. There are so many bryan adams. Song that i love and i couldn't even prioritize them. Heaven is a great ballot. It's a great sign. I'm assuming you know all these songs. Yes okay that's your power ballot like prefer your songs to be ballads or do you like rock songs. I like rock songs that rock. But that are also about love. Which i think you can find. I think most songs at the core about loving talked about this. I love a good power ballot. But i liked the songs that rock probably. Maybe if i if i'm gonna make a sweeping generalization i think i like those better okay so heaven is not necessarily i love it and it's a great power ballad song run to you. Yeah of course that was his first. is i hit. No that was from reckless. In nineteen eighty four head of book bryan adams hits now. He had a an album. Also cuts knuckle cuts like a knife was nineteen eighty-three. The album was nineteen ninety-three on the song. Obviously which is also and that is also my list cuts like a knife whose i first big hit first. Top ten hit was straight from the heart. Which i'm sure is on your list..

So many of them and we say, okay, we'll stop it. We'll stop these people by UNSUBSCRIBE. Ing Adam Levine was would actually beg to differ. He would tell you not to unsubscribe because that's exactly what they want you to do Adam Levine tell us all about it. Well, as you remember the unsubscribe button or link or whatever you WANNA call it is part of the can spam act, which was designed to limit the amount of spam that people would be getting and give them away to get rid of it unfortunately as with everything that we see online hackers have taken advantage of this and found ways to use this to put. malware onto people's computers for the purpose of either turning them into keystroke loggers, which means every time you log in to an account that information is being transmitted the hacker or as a way of putting a mouth, a ransomware on your computer which means then your files will be frozen and you will receive a note that says that if you wish to decrypt your files, get them back, you have to pay us in Bitcoin and will make the problem go away. So is your recommendation just delete the damn thing or ignore it I think that while most people have a tendency to delete the first couple of times, they have an absolute impulse to say I can't stand this anymore. Especially, if they're getting what appears to be politically mail from an opposing side or something, they find very offensive and as a result, they'll they'll click the unsubscribe button.

Let's Talk Bitcoin!
LTB#396 - Ma Freeze Peach!
"It It's may fifth twenty nineteen and this is so three hundred ninety six let's talk bitcoin. Hey, folks, I'm Adam LeVine. And on today's episode bledstock, bitcoin, I'm here with Stephanie Murphy. Hi, Jonathan Melhem Andreas Anson Opelousas. Hello. So today, we're going to be discussing a couple of topics. We'll kick things off with the technical topic. At least a little technical on recently launched for developers loop out for lightning. Then later will dip our toes into the latest fork of a four controversy with lawsuits delistings and other allegations long lots of drama to see if anything sticks thanks to all the hosts and listeners for sitting on discussion, so lightning all it's been a long time coming. I'm honestly getting a little bit excited about it at this point. Technology's always been really promising, but they're all these little details, which might be insignificant in the big picture. But which matter a lot for usability, especially usability for people like me and really for the usefulness of the system, which brings me to a new improvement enlightening called, Lou bowed. Specifically what we're gonna be talking about today? I'm gonna read a little bit from the blog dot, lightning engineering law. Doug from their post on this in a section entitled loop out tale of lightning pizza one day, a new company launches that selling on the lightning network called backgammon's. And it turns out that they're selling lots of pizza, but over time the capacity of backgammon's channels, get filled with the bitcoin they've received on lightning at which point. They're able to accept more payments. Backgammon can then use lube out to move funds out of lightning into a bitcoin wallet, cold storage or currency Vianna exchange. This emptying of the channel allows them to then receive more payments and continue the cycle of selling pizza and looping out again further when a merchant like backgammon first joins the lighting network. They can use loop out to get initial receiving capacity as well as a result new recipients on the network, no longer need to rely on others to open a channel for them before they're able to start receiving payments. So capacity is kind of always been an issue within the lightning upright. It's been one of the big question marks is that unlike with bitcoin, you'd can't necessarily send your entire. Balance in a single transaction. You have to instead kind of utilize the network in order to route from hop to hop and each of those different hops might have different capacity limits. This is clearly trying to tackle that Andreas. Can you help us understand a little better? What's going on here? The fundamental issue to on the fan hair is not so much capacity. It's rather the lightning channels are a symmetric. Meaning that when you have a channel there is a local balance, a remote balanced, the local balances, the balance of Santos, you have on your side of the channel. And that's the amount that you can send out from that channel either when you're routing or making a payment yourself, and the remote balance is the balance that can be sent to Hugh that the other party holds on the channel that can be sent to you. And that's sets the limit on how much incoming payments who can have. Now, imagine you're running a store as in this example, and you have a bunch of incoming channels. With balance on the remote end, and you need that. So that people can send you payments or route payments to you, and let's say your stores successful. And so people make payments in some of that remote balance becomes local balance. Most to your side of the channel, which means you earned it great. So your local balances increase. In fact, keeps happening eventually you're going to run out of remote balance all of the channel capacity is going to be on your ends because you've already received all of it. Now, you have two options one is to have other people create new channels or close channels reopen channels. So the problem is rebalancing channel rebalancing is the idea and the way to solve that is effectively an atomic swap between on chain Anoff chain funds, which is called the submarine swab, and that type of swap is while loopholes or lupin implements salute belt is built on top of the technology that we were talking about a couple of weeks ago called submarine sense. And so this is another layer effect. Built on top of that framework. Yeah. So here's a simple example. I've got all of the balance on my end the channel, and I want to rebalance without closing opening channels incurring on chain payments. So what I do is I need to find someone who's willing to take a lightning payment for me. And in return, send me bitcoin, essentially swapping off chain payments for an on chain payments and wall lightning labs will to for you through this service loop out now, I could simply trust someone kind of like an exchange right where I make a deposit through lightning, and they then allow me to make a withdrawal on chain and making on blockchain withdrawal. But the problem without this trust, right? Because if I simply send them the lightning payments, and then they don't give me a non chain bitcoin payments in return. I've lost my money. It's their custody. We're talking about finding that person who's going to provide the other side of the payment is that something where loop out is a mechanism that we both us together to coordinate. The fact that we wanna trade but don't trust each other. Or when I used loop out at my actually using it with lightning, for example. Is there a company in the background that's gonna be providing the sort of liquidity via loop out? Yeah. So Luke out is a product offered by a single company that provides these trust less submarine. Swap. So you can swap on chain for off chain vice versa. It is an implementation of submarine swaps which is affected the protocol, which is a series of steps you take. If you want to trust la- swap between on chain off chain funds and that has been implemented in a product that's called loop out or lightning loop. So loop out of product by specific company that uses the protocol that is of marine sons and other people can use this same kind of concepts of Tomic swaps between. Chains and off chain funds to do the same thing of the trick. Here is that it's trust. Louis. What does that mean that means that instead of you blindly sending a payment over lightning in hoping they give you a non chain payments? In return. What happens is that is they may contain payments, which is effectively in escrow the can only be unlocked by the invoice receipts of lightning payments. Meaning once they've put that on chain, you can only claim

Maroon 5's halftime show was basic
"I asked the question, and what about the halftime would that be Westwood One entertainment. It wasn't entertainment at all. I don't think they carry it. They don't they don't I don't. But maybe they do. I don't think the. I don't think they do. Now. I think they do analysis now some of the best reviews of the. Of the halftime show of the drudge report. Yeah. I mean, it was just burst out it. I didn't see any of it because I don't wake up to between nine thirty and ten and it was over. I think by right after nine o'clock. Breaking news came came across all my alerts game around nine thirty. But it says move Janet Jackson Adam shows his breasts during halftime show. And the picture of the dude looks like he's been working out. Yeah. I had. No, I I have no idea. I seen them in in. What did I see him? I didn't notice. It was an infomercial. There was an he used to be on an infomercial for like some kind of acne thing. One of the acne medicines. He was on an infomercial for and I walk into the room one time. Why is he doing an acne commercial? But he was an infomercial. But he didn't look like I mean, you know, he looked like a, you know, just a skinny guy. So I guess he beefed up for the Super Bowl. Now. I know that the the the headlines were the everybody the rumor was he was going to kneel during the the performance, and it was all over the headlines. Will he Neil will he Nieto will he Neil? Yeah. Because Roger waters had asked him to kneel. Yes. We we talked about that. Now Roger waters from from pink Floyd's all upset about it. Now, who's the one that does the pig? But that's Roger water. Okay. So it right. Okay. That's now that's supposed to be capitalism. I'm not really sure that sucks. He's been all this money off of capital. I wasn't even the smallest Pink Floyd fan. I mean, I I like their music. Okay. But I just know what was on the route. We don't need. No, Roger waters education. We don't know Roger waters thought control, by the way with a Senate structuring like that you definitely need an education.

Super Bowl Ads 2019: Stunts, Self-Deprecation And Celebrity Sightings
"Support for this podcast and the following message. Come from Comcast business having the nation's largest gig speed network was just the start. Now, they're providing gig fueled apps and solutions that exceed expectations and help businesses perform Comcast business beyond fast. Some Super Bowls are thrilling and summer like last night when the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams and the lowest scoring Super Bowl game in history. Of course, the game is only part of the spectacle, where the halftime show and the commercials anymore. Exciting. We have a tweet review here from one Rachel Martin of NPR news who writes, you wrote Rachel well that was horrible. Don't think you didn't love it very much NPR. Tv critic Eric Duggan's has his judgment the most unexpected moment in the Super Bowl. Halftime show. Didn't come from headliner. Maroon five or guest Travis Scott, it came courtesy of characters from the cartoon SpongeBob squarepants who introduced Scott's part of the performance. Musical genius who needs no introduction. The cartoon clip was a shoutout to sweet victory. Assam spongebob. Squarepants once played on an episode that parody the Super Bowl was a hip surprise. And a halftime show that also included appearances from Outkast member big BOI and a gospel choir. Maroon five frontman, Adam LeVine, stripped off, coats and shirt until he was bare-chested showing off his tattoos while singing one of the group's biggest hits moves like Jagger. Gives me. Show. It was professional mildly. Exciting the kind of ineffective Super Bowl halftime show that the NFL might have been hoping for after its controversies over players kneeling to protest police brutality. But it was also kind of boring like most of the Super Bowl commercials press to avoid social media backlash. Many of the ads in Sunday's game were not edgy groundbreaking or even all that funny. Consider one but lights commercials which featured medieval characters from last year's but light Super Bowl ads preparing to watch a joust a beautiful day for a date. Date things out lucky. Loincloth cold Bud Light comfy thrown I don't have the plague anymore when they're but night is killed by a character from game of thrones called the mountain then a dragon sets fire to the jousting arena. And the whole thing turns into a game of thrones commercial. I'm not quite sure how scenes of carnage and fire cells cans of Bud Light. Maybe it makes you thirsting Harrison Ford fared better in an ad that showed fictional failed products, featuring Amazon, Alexa, including dot collar. Ordering dog the Barco you'll want. I'm not paying for England dog food ordering gravy yet. There is nothing funnier than watching Indiana Jones chases small dog around his house, Pepsi earn some multigenerational cool points by having chance the rapper remix. The backstreet boys hit I want it that way. And the Washington Post scored with a serious ad ended reinforcing the value of journalists and journalism as images of reporters like slain columnists, Jamal kashogi appeared on screen. Tom Hanks provided a reassuring narration when our nation is threatened. There's someone to gather the facts. To bring you the story. No matter the cost knowing keeps us free. Now, I might be a bit biased. But seeing some of the most expensive real estate in television used to remind America that journalism is a key to democracy seemed like the best use of a Super Bowl ad that I've seen in quite a while Americans.
