Bitcoin Banter 7 | Decentralizing YouTube

This episode was so fun to record. We have some great Bitcoin content creators on here, Guy Swann from Cryptoconomy, Brady from Citizen Bitcoin, Christian from POV Crypto, and Jeff from work on this show. This is a Part 1 of this banter, Part 2 will be out in a couple of days first on Patreon, and then in 2 weeks on the normal feed. The full run time was over 2 hours, so we are splitting it after the main topic on this episode which is Decentralizing Youtube. We talk about DTube, Dlive, and other YouTube alternatives. They aren’t really decentralized but we rap about the how and the why.

Global Coin and Money – E169

This week we go on a trip through the fundamentals in Bitcoin and hit news items along the way.

This week in Bitcoin was dominated by the price and the budding of a culture war. People bring their own bias to Bitcoin, there’s no dominant bitcoin culture. You see what you want to see. This week we also saw a new All Time High is hashrate and difficulty in Bitcoin. Lastly, I discuss the Lightning Network Plateau.

Our one news item in this episode is the Microsoft Decentralized Identity System called ION. I speak about it for a few minutes as a layer 2 for Bitcoin.
