With Slappy unavailable this week, CarCampit swings by to fill in to talk about some questions people have about attacks on Bitcoin.  We discuss governments shutting the internet down, electrical grid failures, quantum computing, and how no one will notice Bitcoin taking over.

We brought Birdarchist on the show to rip into some recent awful Twitter blue check takes.  We did not bring him on to argue about the existence of homonyms.

As Americans, Slappy and I have been very frustrated with way dealing with COVID-19 has been handled by local, state, and national governments.  But as bad as we might feel it is here, it can be a lot worse.  Andy reached out to us to discuss what life is like in Melbourne, Australia dealing with the government's horrific and tyrannical reactions.

Unfortunately, yet another shooting by police has occurred that we must talk about.  Ryan Whitaker was killed when police opened fire when he answered the door in the middle of the night while holding a gun.  He was an innocent man and didn't deserve his fate.

We decided to do a breakdown of this tragic event and approach it from the perspective of a reliability engineer performing a root cause failure analysis and using other relevant tools to identify the true root causes of this shooting and suggest some corrective actions.  Be prepared: we discuss this awful event rather dispassionately, so please make the effort to understand our approach when we explain it.

We hope that one day the proper steps will be undertaken to make sure these events never happen again.

We've all been frustrated by all of the nonsense associated with the COVID panic and lies.  We decided to take a glass half full approach and discuss some of the good things that might come out of all of this.

So Steppy made a tweet about the nuclear family versus the extended family that caused a bit of a stir, so Slappy and I grabbed Steppy and Michael of Barbary to discuss what he meant by the importance of the extended family.

This was an excellent discussion and a fantastic time for us.

Fresh off our 4-week Bitcoin question and answer session, we dive deeper into the world of Bitcoin with our guest Ben the Carman.  Ben explains what discreet log contracts are, how they work, and what they're useful for; and then we talk about what Schnorr and Taproot are.  It might seem like a lot of wrap your head around, but Ben does a great job of walking us through it all.
