I wish I could afford a textbook! Failed at "opportunity-spotting" I guess. Thanks for having Prof Micah on so I could get a gist of it, regardless. Another banger, CCC!
Great discussion. I'm genuinely curious if any of the participants have read The Blocksize War.
First comment and just wanted to say I love the show! Keep up the good work!

Great way to start the weekend guys. Bennett have you done any deep dive into Hex coin? I still can't wrap my mind as to why so many people treat it like a cult. Thanks and keep up the great work.
I love Cas’ jumper, it’s very Cas.
You guys are very bright .
Micah has a Popehat t-shirt? Amazing!
Aw yeah great start to the weekend!
Great episode. Still waiting on the episode where you go over your top three alt coins.

Damn I’d love to read the book, capacity to handle complex math is capped at high school level tho. Hopefully some kind person writes a layman’s review..
thanks guys
How can the miners take over bitcoin without the node operators? Didn't they already try tbat with bitcoin cash and failed?

Shhh. Let them keep going. No mention of nodes or mining pools
he knows that mining power (hashrate) does NOT = consensus/control of the network.... that would be nodes, nodes = power in the network.... please tell me this
Bennett always looks fine, it’s hard to comment on a t-shirt I can’t see the whole of tho… BT fashion game understated yet filled with gravitas, just like BT
I was just thinking about how having a cap on the number of bitcoins is inherently deflationary if only because people inevitably lose their passwords. Its one thing to have a guy with like, .125BTC but eventually, given enough time, someone with like, 10% of the supply will lose access to their BTC.

It’s very plausible that one person who had ~5% of the total supply has now rendered it inaccessible

@@CryptoCriticPod so, is it known what happens if that ever gets confirmed? I assume Nakamoto never imagined, as tech bros do, that human error can effect their creations so I'm guessing there's no contingency plan currently in the system. But is there any idea of how the major participants may react?
Energy is fundamentally decentralized on earth and we human live on a fairly decentralized country on earth. What makes you thinks that miner from different country could collude ? Isn't this "softwar" as jason lowery puts it ?

enshitification is a phenomenon far beyond the internet. Hell one of the main thrust of bitcoin's sales pitch is that fiat money has become enshitified. It is a factor of monopoly power in general.
Is he high?
HMM, so you guys think that bitcoin is here to stay?

Hahahahaha hilarious comment
The unbanked are poor, been there, done that in the UK, and we are never paying fees to bank, Blockchain is not an option, no fee banking is the only option. That is what got me banking, a no fee (If in credit), no interest account, my issue was I have no credit history, because I will NEVER borrow money, and had no bank account. I still have that basic account, it's never incurred a fee, and always has money in it, because I spend within my means, and save a little week, on week that mounts up. Never had more than £5,000 in savings, but that allows cheap living, and gives bargain buying power, those in debt can't snap up. If you spend below your income, you will cope just fine.

Comparing centralized companies to Bitcoin is ignorance or dishonesty.
How to attack Bitcoin? Step on is have people face the reality it is security, as is Ethereum. Step 2. Wait.
