Thank you @_DannyKnowles for the opportunity to have this conversation with you.
I struggle to talk about these topics because I barely understand them. Yet I persist, because I find them fascinating. Thank you for your great questions, they really helped me articulate my thoughts :)
I hope viewers find our conversation to be as exciting and as hopeful as I did.
This was one of my favourite shows of the year!
@dhruvbansal and I got into why AI needs Bitcoin & why Bitcoin might need AI, rebuilding a free & open internet, and why optimistic stories matter.

[1/5] You've heard of brands like Ledger, Trezor, Jade, Bitbox, Passport.
But do you know the companies under the hood that make the computer chips trusted to generate seed phrases?
STMicroelectronics, Infineon, Microchip Technologies, etc. Relevant for "multi-vendor multisig":

Start companies with good people who become great friends.
Today @unchained turns 10. It's been an immense privilege for @dhruvbansal and me to build on this frontier with an incredible team.
We've helped clients protect billions of dollars of bitcoin, were among the first (and longest-running) bitcoin-backed lenders, and pioneered the term collaborative custody. Above all, we're proud to have built a financial services company on principles that resonate with Bitcoiners: eliminating single points of failure and empowering true ownership.
Those principles will outlast all of us and paint the way for the institutions that will come to dominate the next century.
Thank you to our team, past and present, and to the Bitcoin community for your support. 🧡

I cannot wait to hear @dhruvbansal expand on these ideas at @imagineif_bna next week 🔥
"So many mechanisms we rely upon are provided by 1 or 2 or 3 giant international companies [...] if this is the world in which bitcoin is the global reserve, have we won? That feels like a partial victory to me." - @dhruvbansal

Be a part of a better world. Buy some bitcoin

We absolutely must generalize the decentralized properties of bitcoin beyond money. Pay attention to this new series from @dhruvbansal.

“AI can bring about a world that Bitcoin was created to prevent from happening.” @unchained's @dhruvbansal on why the two technologies are locked together and why he is glad Bitcoin got here first, on Bitcoin Brainstorm.

Many don't know this, but Unchained has been able to support various flexible quorums for quite a bit now.

On this day in history, 7 years ago, the first essay was published exploring how Bitcoin might function in an interplanetary civilization. Bitcoin miners on Mars can compete with miners on Earth.

There’s currently a Hollywood “Bitcoin” flick in the making featuring @GalGadot et al, directed by Doug Liman — the plot of which is the equivalent a movie about Wall Street and finance featuring Bernie Madoff as a genius victim 🤦♂️ — yet there are mountains of Bitcoin-related content that could fill the shelves with actual, non-cringe blockbusters.
The series below by @dhruvbansal, for instance, provides content for a brilliant sci-fi franchise.
The increasing poverty of the arts, cinematic and other, is tragic.
Unchained co-founder @dhruvbansal launched the Bitcoin Astronomy series in the run up to the 2020 cycle. Now, as we count down to the 2024 halving, it's back with a facelift. Read as Dhruv explains how #bitcoin changes our perspective on some of the biggest cosmic questions.

When I first started storing Bitcoin in self-custody, it was a paper wallet, but then going to a hardware wallet, this was always my fear
True security comes from human relationships. Unchained cofounder @dhruvbansal believes the future of bitcoin security is a Network of Keys, distributing risk.
That way, when hardware wallets have critical bugs or custodians blow up, people are protected. Talking w/ @1MarkMoss:
