I recently sat down with Balaji to record a @NS episode on Bitcoin, freedom, global economics, and how open-source code is changing society Really enjoyed our chat!

@balajis @ns Did you cover how "open source" Bitcoin core v30 can delete your keys?

@balajis @ns RSS feed/podcast options?

@ktreywalsh @balajis @ns

@balajis @ns Great interview!

@balajis @ns Great interview you have done! Alex! meanwhile a little bit unpopular different conclusions are: 1, Before bitcoin's complete practical quantum migration, it's not extreme currency. 2, Imminent or not need compare both: how soon quantum squat bitcoin? how soon bitcoin migration

@balajis @ns Open source makes power auditable, not benevolent. That distinction matters.

@balajis @ns Interesting. Will listen to it rn .

@balajis @ns Agreed. The COVID-era printing cycle cost the dollar roughly 25% of its purchasing power in five years. That’s tame relative to other countries, but it’s enough to show the U.S. isn’t immune. Your book’s thesis clearly applies here...

@balajis @ns balajis on bitcoin and open source? must listen episode

@balajis @ns Balaji won't stop talking about it, until he dies. I love it

@balajis @ns oh perfect. queuing this up

@balajis @ns 💯

really not sure if there is any hopeful path forward that i not open source/decentralized may the best ideas win but more normie people need to see the value behind bitcoin that's why we wrote The Bitcoin Castle an elegant illustrated bitcoin value explainer 4.8 stars dont lie help us orange pill the world

@balajis @ns Where can I learn more about eCash and the possibilities you’ve discussed with eCash/Bitchat/Nostr? The “you don’t need internet” to make a payment caught my attention. Excellent conversation overall.

@balajis @ns On-chain fiat expands freedom only temporarily. At scale, mass KYC is not a policy choice — it’s a logical outcome.

@balajis @ns Sounds great, happy to see it soon :)

@balajis @ns

@balajis @ns balaji always brings the heat, gonna be fire

@balajis @ns I’m addicted to @balajis takes.

@balajis @ns Worth watching!

@balajis @ns Sounds like a deep dive , Bitcoin + freedom + open-source shaping society = peak conversation. Would love to hear the takeaways from that episode.

@balajis @ns Digital currency no mater which is the ultimate government control

@balajis @ns Hey @gladstein, are you gonna be at NS?

Alex @gladstein , huge thank you for this conversation! That once again showed me how difficult to communicate real infrastructural points to people with Silicon Valley Bubble minds. Your knowledge is precious, your efforts to tell more were heroic. But every time you started talking about particular examples from states with the situation you called “that’s almost a crime against humanity” (and I agree).., every time I thought ,“Oh, now talking!” , the host stopped you. Extremly annoying. More of your explanations are needed!
