Solo Miner Finds Bitcoin Block: A Revolution in Decentralized Mining with FutureBit
In this episode of the Coin Stories podcast, Natalie Brunell interviews John Stefanopoulos, founder of Futurebit, about the importance of decentralization in Bitcoin mining and the role of individual miners.

Private Key: A private key is a piece of data that proves your right to spend bitcoins from a specific wallet through a cryptographic signature. UTXO: Unspent Transaction Output - An output that has not been sent to another address. The bitcoin wallet balance is calculated from adding up unspent outputs. ---- BIO: Gloria is one of the maintainers of Bitcoin Core, primarily focused on the peer-to-peer protocol. Her projects include package relay (BIP 331) and TRUC (BIP 431), aimed at reducing censorship vectors and fee-bumping inefficiencies in transaction relay.

Bitcoin and the UnCommunist Manifesto with Mark Moss & Aleks Svetski
The UnCommunist Manifesto by Aleks Svetski and Mark Moss: "Our goal was to change the axis of the “struggle." We wrote this book in the hopes it will be used as a central text in the struggle between Individual sovereignty and collective coercion we’re seeing so evidently around us today. We emulated the format and length of the Communist Manifesto but re-wrote it to remind people to reach upward and become better versions of themselves, as opposed to classifying them into static groups and validating their desire to bring others down to their level. Our longer-term hope is that this text can be a beacon of hope, sanity, and sense in a world being swallowed up by the envy inherently justified by Marxist doctrine."

Aarika Rhodes: Congress Should Be Pro-Bitcoin
ABOUT AARIKA (via AarikaForCongress.com) Aarika is an educator at her core. Aside from the Teacher of the Year Award she received from the Los Angeles Clippers, She has been published in the Journal for Multicultural Education for an article she co-authored with Dr. Shartriya Collier and Betty Burston entitled “Teaching STEM as a Second Language: Utilizing SLA to Develop Equitable Learning for All Students.” In 2018, Aarika was invited to the Better Together Teachers’ Summit at California State University Northridge to speak to dozens of educators about helping every child access curriculum by creating individual connections with each student. Aarika has taught students from diverse backgrounds in public and private schools. She understands the importance of closing the disparity in academic performance between groups of students. In 2020, Aarika was an active volunteer during the democratic primary for former presidential candidate, Andrew Yang. She canvassed in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and all over Los Angeles, where she spoke to hundreds of people about the state of our country. Prior to the suspension of Andrew Yang’s campaign, Aarika was in the process of organizing a town hall which was intended to address issues impacting low income communities. As Aarika was hearing the concerns of everyday people, she was inspired to do something which is why she filed to run for Congress. She feels strongly that everyday people matter and will fight hard to solve the problems that matter most to them. If elected, Aarika will support small businesses, work to close the income gap, foster care reform, and fight for every child’s right to quality education. Aarika attended public schools her entire life and was often the only student of color in the classroom. But she used it as motivation to be an honor roll student and break stereotypes. This is how she learned to stand against injustice and inequality and acquired her work ethic. She brought her capacity for hard work and her commitment to equality into the classroom as a teacher. Aarika went on to study at California State University Northridge where she earned a B.A. in Liberal Studies with an emphasis on Science and an M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction. -- Coin Stories is brought to you in part by The Bitcoin Conference and Okcoin.

SPECIAL EPISODE - Saifedean Ammous: The Fiat Standard
The Fiat Standard: https://saifedean.com/the-fiat-standard/ BUY THE BOOK: https://saifedean.com/tfs-btc/ The Fiat Standard is Saifedean Ammous’s attempt to explain the technology behind the current analog global monetary system. Similar to how The Bitcoin Standard explained the functional essence of bitcoin and its potential social and economic implications, this book examines twentieth century monetary technology and explains its benefits and drawbacks, and its many modes of failure. The origin of government control of money came from the limitations on the spatial salability of gold, which required its centralization. The political control over central banks became effectively as good as gold in the central bank, because the gold could not be used for global trade without the political control supervising it. The intermingling of political authority and monetary media in central banks led to the conflation of money and government credit, and the widely-held misconception that credit can play the role of money satisfactorily. But such a system cannot survive the test of the market, and it has had to be enforced by government decree, or fiat, under pain of violence. Like any violent intervention in the market, this one has had consequences. As fiat has formalized and legalized the monetization of debt, it has made debt issuance analogous to the mining of gold under the gold standard; each new loan increases the supply of existing money. Whereas gold has a high stock-to-flow ratio that protects its supply from sudden increases, The Fiat Standard has little restraint on its ability to generate debt. The large global debt bubble unleashed in 1914 can only be understood as a consequence of the formalization of the monetization of debt. The use of government credit as a substitute for money is disruptive of the normal functioning of the market system and price mechanisms. Rather than consumer sovereignty and choice dictating the successful providers and the most efficient technologies, it is government Fiat, as embodied through favorable credit policies, which is sovereign in such matters. The book takes a thorough look at several of these areas of life and economy and the disastrous impacts of this distortion. Unlike government credit, bitcoin is a present good whose value does not depend on any counter-parties. Unlike gold, bitcoin is highly salable across space, allowing it to be spent across international borders without needing political supervision. As bitcoin rises while fiat money goes through another of its periodic crises, The Fiat Standard juxtaposes the two technologies and presents some foreseeable scenarios for how they can coexist into the future, or not. **** Thank you to my sponsors, Bitcoin Conference and OKCoin.

Vijay Boyapati: The Bullish Case for Bitcoin
Vijay Boyapati was born and raised in Australia and moved to the United States to do a PhD in Computer Science. He never started the PhD, but took a job offer instead and ended up at a small startup called Google. After leaving the much bigger Google, in 2007, Vijay spent a year campaigning in the 2008 Presidential election, helping to raise millions of dollars for Ron Paul. After becoming disillusioned by the political process, Vijay decided to continue to seek change through technology. Discovering Bitcoin in 2011, Vijay quickly went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. With a background in Austrian economics he spent years thinking about the economic framework within which Bitcoin's value proposition could be understood. His thinking on the economics of Bitcoin culminated in an article called the Bullish Case for Bitcoin which is one of the most read articles on Bitcoin after Satoshi Nakamoto's Whitepaper and it has been translated into 20 different languages. The article is often cited as the most useful resource to give to newcomers who are attempting to understand Bitcoin. -- This episode was brought to you by Bitcoin Magazine and the Bitcoin Conference.

Bill Pulte is an American philanthropist and entrepreneur. He created the Twitter Philanthropy campaign and hashtag to give away some of his fortune to people in need. So far he has given out more than $1 million on his social platforms directly to followers needing financial assistance.

Having over 800,000 teammates on board, participants in Twitter Philanthropy come together through micro-donations to help those in need by spreading kindness, love, and small monetary donations. Within three months, Mr. and Mrs. Pulte have given away over $100,000 dollars of their personal money and teammates have added another $200,000 to help fund things such as cars for veterans, school supplies for teachers, medical assistance for terminal patients, dental work, housing needs, and day to day bills. Team Giving looks to build on this movement to continue to bring people together to help fellow mankind in need. We strive to help those with time-sensitive, critical needs. Team Giving thanks Mr. and Mrs. Pulte for their generosity, thoughtfulness, and care for others. We promise to build on the momentum they have created!" Bill Pulte is also CEO of Pulte Capital Partners. Pulte Capital is a strategic investment firm focused exclusively on investing in leading building products businesses.

Peter Schiff: Bitcoin, Gold and Our Fragile Inflated Economy
Peter Schiff is an honorary chairman of SchiffGold, founder of Euro Pacific Asset Management, and host of The Peter Schiff Show. He is an economic forecaster & investment advisor influenced by the free-market Austrian School of economics. His best-selling book, "The Real Crash, "warns that the 2008 financial crisis was just the prelude to a larger sovereign debt crisis that may lead to a collapse of the US dollar. In this interview, Peter shares his insights on gold, Bitcoin, and the state of our fragile economy. --- Full bio via SchiffGold.com : Background Peter Schiff’s investment career began with Shearson Lehman Brothers in the early 1990s. In 1996, he and a partner started Euro Pacific Capital in Los Angeles, later moving the headquarters to Connecticut. The firm has since expanded, with offices in Scottsdale, Arizona, Boca Raton, Florida, Newport Beach, California, Los Angeles and New York City. Euro Pacific Capital’s investment strategy focuses on long-term wealth savings in the face of a declining US dollar with an emphasis on emerging market and commodity-focused investments. Peter is best known for accurately forecasting the 2008 financial crisis. During a Fox News debate in December 2006 , Schiff said, “What’s going to happen in 2007 is that real estate prices are going to come crashing back down to Earth.” Business news journals reported that Schiff accurately predicted the crisis, while “nearly all [macroeconomists] failed to foresee the recession despite plenty of warning signs.” Peter has also worked in the political arena, first serving as an economic advisor for Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign and later running for United States Senate in Connecticut in 2010 as a Republican. Politically, he leans Libertarian, with an emphasis on fiscal conservatism. Peter started SchiffGold in 2010 after recommending for decades that investors allocate 10-20% of their portfolios to physical precious metals. Peter became concerned that some of his Euro Pacific Capital clients were being misled into purchasing overpriced “numismatic” gold and silver products from gold dealers with unsavory business practices. Peter started SchiffGold to provide a trustworthy alternative that would sell only the most liquid physical bullion products at the lowest possible prices. SchiffGold is backed by Peter Schiff’s Guarantee that it will only sell the most liquid physical bullion products at the lowest possible prices. Peter’s expertise on money, economic theory, and international investing makes him a highly sought after as a speaker and analyst.

He founded and serves as the trustee for the Saylor Academy ( Saylor.org ), a non-profit organization that provides free education to nearly one million students. -- Full Bio Courtesy of MicroStrategy.com: Michael Saylor is an American entrepreneur, executive, inventor, author, and philanthropist. He was born to a military family in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1965 and spent his childhood living on various U.S. Air Force bases around the world. By his teenage years, his family had settled at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio—the birthplace of aviation and home of the Wright brothers. He graduated from high school first in his class, served as both class marshal and valedictorian, and was voted most likely to succeed by his peers. Mr. Saylor attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on a full Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship. While at MIT, he was a member of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity, and obtained dual degrees in aeronautics and astronautics as well as science, technology and society. In his free time, he played guitar in a rock band and learned to fly gliders. Mr. Saylor became fascinated by the application of computer simulation technology to public policy and business strategy, eventually writing his thesis "A Mathematical Model of a Renaissance Italian City State" while studying system dynamics at the MIT Sloan School of Management. In 1987, Mr. Saylor graduated with highest honors from MIT. Having already successfully completed flight officer training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, where he learned to fly, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. He joined the Air Force Reserve and began a career in consulting, with a focus on constructing computer simulations to support strategic decision-making at companies such as DuPont, Dow, and Exxon. In 1989 at the age of 24, Mr. Saylor combined his passions for technology, business, and the use of computer simulations to launch MicroStrategy. The company was founded on his vision of helping enterprises deliver intelligence everywhere. By harnessing the power of graphical operating systems and client server computing, and pioneering a new approach to business intelligence called relational online analytical processing (ROLAP), the company grew steadily, going public in 1998 (NASDAQ: MSTR).

Audio Glossary of Bitcoin Terms & Concepts
The purpose of this episode is to go over the fundamental concepts and terms associated with Bitcoin and its network. Click here to download a PDF version of this audio glossary. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend reading Saifedean Ammous 's book The Bitcoin Standard and visiting his website for more learning tools. ---------- Bitcoin is a scarce, digital currency that is decentralized. Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the pseudonymous person or group that conceived of Bitcoin and released the White Paper introducing Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system on October 31, 2008 at the peak of the U.S. Great Financial Crisis. A Satoshi is a division of a Bitcoin. One bitcoin is equal to 100 million satoshis also known as sats. Stacking Sats refers to accumulating the smallest unit of a Bitcoin. Blockchain is the technology that enables Bitcoin. It is a shared, digital ledger of transactions distributed across the computer systems in the peer-to-peer network. A Full Node a computer in Bitcoin’s network that hosts and synchronizes a copy of the entire blockchain ledger. Bitcoin Mining is the process of verifying blocks of Bitcoin transactions. It’s also the process by which new bitcoins are entered into circulation. Proof of Work (PoW) is the algorithm that secures Bitcoin. Miners deploy extremely large amounts of computing power to solve very complex cryptographic puzzles. These computer systems compete with each other to be the first to solve the puzzle and be able to validate the new block for the blockchain. Miners must reach a consensus to confirm the puzzle was solved, then the block can be accepted and permanently recorded onto the blockchain ledger. Proof of Work ensures the security of the blockchain and complete decentralization of the process. It prevents attacks and double spending. No person, entity or country controls Bitcoin, instead Bitcoin is controlled by verifiable software systems and processes. When a miner solves a puzzle, and that work and those transactions are confirmed, the miner is paid a reward in new Bitcoins according to a schedule. Every four years, the amount of Bitcoin the miners receive for each block of transactions is reduced by 50%. These events are referred to the Halvings. The next halving will occur in 2024. Proof of Stake (PoS) is a different process of validating transactions on the blockchain. It based on validators who stake their own currency in the mining process. It’s more energy efficient but it can lead to centralization, because people who have more coins to stake can verify more transactions. Digital Scarcity refers to th
