Loren Hodl and the Bitcoin Today room work through the quantum FUD cycle, paper Bitcoin, and what actually secures a blockchain, from hacked-coin scenarios to the nominal amounts that matter.

Roberto argues Japan is the monetary experiment lab for the West: thirty years of QE, QQE, and yield curve control that never created growth, with yield curve control next for the United States if a bond market crisis hits. He calls the BIS the head of the Medusa and makes the finale case that Bitcoin solves the Triffin dilemma, because a reserve asset with no host country cannot break one, unlocking $20 to $40 trillion in daily trade liquidity and forced nation-state adoption.
