> We are pleased to announce the Reorg, a deep dive into the SNI archives hosted by SNI president Michael Goldstein (Bitstein).
>
> In Bitcoin, a chain reorganization occurs when nodes discover an alternative chain tip with more accumulated proof-of-work than their current chain tip. The nodes then reorganize their local transaction history to align with this stronger chain, resulting in a different set of confirmed transactions.
>
> After over a decade of content on the SNI website, the Reorg takes a fresh look at these works in the context of all the proof-of-work since. We’ll provide historical context and contemporary commentary to examine what predictions proved correct and which ideas have been revised or invalidated.
>
> Our first deep dive explores the “SNI Mempool Crash Course in Political Economy,” which laid out our original case for why Bitcoin would out-compete fiat money and precious metals to become the world reserve currency. On episode 1, Pierre Rochard joins in for a discussion of his classic 2013 article “End the Fed: Hoard Bitcoins.”
