Hey all,
I really like this community and would love to get questions from y'all for my podcast. What questions do you want me to answer or rant about in audio form?
Hi Jimmy, thanks for all the content you push out for the ecosystem.
Most bitcoiners seem excited about Taro, but do stablecoins issued on Lightning pose any risks to the Bitcoin network? For example: In the (unlikely) event that Bitcoin needs to hardfork, could stablecoin issuers throw about their economic weight in deciding which forks survive and die?

Hey Jimmy, i really enjoy your content. What do you think about the recent Galoy-OKX https://stablesats.com/ release? Specifically, what's your opinion on the counterparty risk, potential benefits, and where do you see all this going in 5 years?

I'm always interested in which projects bring people into Bitcoin and which only draw from the existing Bitcoin ecosystem. I think this is always an interesting discussion imo.
reply
Distribution of wealth on the bitcoin network. Someone on the daily discussion claims to know multiple people with 1.7 million bitcoin each.

Sigs or it didn't happen

There are like 19m Bitcoin mined, many of them lost and 1m belong to Satoshi.
They claim to have 3.4m? That could maybe be 1/4 or 1/6 of all Bitcoin in circulation.
I'm very sceptical of this.

not question but i wanted to say thanks for contribution

Someone has already touched on this, but I want to know your opinion on things like Stable channels, stablecoins on Bitcoin, etc. Will they be a benefit or detriment to the ecosystem and do they align with Bitcoin's ethos?
God bless!

Which peer-to-peer messaging/data technologies outside of Bitcoin do you like the most? Are you excited about any of the new developments?
reply
Do you agree bitcoin has price insensitive buyers? Examples include transaction service users, and dollar cost averagers.
If a commodity has price insensitive buyers, who sets the price and what should it be?

What do you see as the next layer on which we build onto the network?
reply
Do you think the introduction of Wallstreet (e.g Blackrock) will improve (increase in potential liquidity) or decrease (through paper claims) Bitcoin adoption

It is usually hard to explain Bitcoin in a few sentences and not getting too much into details. What is your opening line for no-coiner?
reply
Another day another Bitcoiner creating a podcast. Not to be a hater but jeez does everyone in the space need their own pod? Should I stay tuned for the Michael Saylor pod as well

Assume that a centralized shitcoin exists that provides useful privacy in areas where it would take more work or be more expensive to achieve comparable privacy on BTC.
If that shitcoin was somehow implemented as a privacy layer for BTC (perhaps with atomic swaps) such that you are never exposed to it's volatility or consensus rules. Would you consider using it? Would you still call it a shitcoin?
How is this different from something like Liquid or fedimints which also take a privacy vs decentralization tradeoff?

@jimmysong was disappointed that you didn't answer my question on your podcast. You also called me a troll. I don't understand why. I'm not here to shill anything, my question didn't even mention a shitcoin by name. I think you should consider why you're afraid to answer this question.

When teaching about Bitcoin, what are some of the bigger stumbling blocks for novice developers that you have come across?
reply
Hi Jimmy, would love to hear you talk about your journey before bitcoin. I was able to hear about a little of it at bbb prayer breakfast last year really made had an impact on me. Thanks again for everything you do Jimmy🙏

I've heard a few people say that the US government is more likely to go back to the gold standard than they are to allow bitcoin to replace the dollar, because going back to gold would at least allow for greater regulation/control. It seems like if that happened, bitcoin might actually have a legitimate competitor. Do you have any thoughts about that?
