Regulation by prosecution: is America killing its own innovation? In this episode, I read Beautyon’s “American Bitcoin Suicide” and unpack what it means to prosecute innovative Bitcoin developers like Rodriguez & Burroughs - alongside activist judges, unchecked fraud, and why decentralized tools like Bitcoin + Nostr may be the only way to fight back.

“It’s scary to be a privacy developer these days… the legal risk is insane. Unless you live somewhere remote or protect your anonymity, it’s risky. A lot of people [myself included], are avoiding building privacy tools because it’s just too dangerous right now.” ~Ben Kaufman Listen to Where We Are, Where We've Been, & Where We're Going with @Ben Kaufman on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain:

"The big, big stab that we're going to be making - the thing that could make PPQ go from kind of like a small community of users to like a gorilla website with millions of users - is this creator monetization program where we allow outsiders to create some cool new image model or a new AI tool, serve it up on PPQ, and then also allow us to distribute their model on other websites that are orders of magnitude larger than us. And then we do it all with lightning payments." ~ Matt Ahlborg Listen to Chat_153 - Welcome to Subscription Hell with Matt Ahlborg of @PayPerQ on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain:

"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:
