Bitcoin isn't digital gold. It's not locked in by math. You can kill it. The man who ran money at Peter Thiel's hedge fund came on to explain who's trying — and why the only thing protecting Bitcoin is the people who run nodes. Matthew R. Kratter #BIP-110 — Bitcoin University founder, former Clarium / Thiel-world macro trader, early Palantir investor — joins me to lay out the fight consuming Bitcoin right now in plain English: why he says Bitcoin Core has "gone rogue," the spam war over OP_RETURN and BIP-110 he calls Bitcoin's last stand, why consensus flows from culture and not code, who actually controls the network (hint: not the miners), and how to mine Bitcoin from home for about $10 a day. Send this to anyone who thinks Bitcoin can't be stopped. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:00 Physics dropout to literature — Stanford & Berkeley 05:27 René Girard & meeting Peter Thiel 07:56 Becoming a trader: Thiel Macro → Clarium 12:43 The PayPal mafia, network effects & the dot-com bottom 20:23 Global macro at Clarium & the 2003 housing-blowup call 24:08 Napster, PayPal & the "new world currency" 28:32 Government as the ultimate customer — Palantir & the CIA (In-Q-Tel) 36:00 Deep-state roots — is Peter Thiel captured? 49:32 Culture is upstream of consensus 57:00 Bitcoin isn't magic — nodes, immutability & the spam risk 1:01:42 Why spam is a problem — tragedy of the commons 1:04:30 Spam since Satoshi & the 2014 OP_RETURN war 1:14:30 The changing of the guard at Bitcoin Core 1:18:43 Core uncaps OP_RETURN to 100,000 bytes 1:28:00 Consensus flows from culture — the 2nd Amendment analogy 1:35:20 BIP-110 — the temporary soft fork 1:44:00 Why small blocks — and running nodes in Cuba 2:18:55 SegWit & the 2017 UASF — how 500 nodes won 2:24:00 The miners are just employees — node runners set the rules 2:41:46 "Firing the miners" — changing proof-of-work 2:55:18 Bitcoin Core went rogue — the last stand 2:58:50 You can kill Bitcoin 3:01:20 Mine Bitcoin from home for ~$10/day, KYC-free 3:11:09 Where to find Matt ▶️
