The Unhashed Podcast

On this episode of The Unhashed Podcast, we go on a lot of tangents. As a springboard for said tangents, we mention trillions in stimulus packages, Citibank calling bitcoin's tipping point, Colin's research on paper wallet theft, Craig Wright's latest legal facepalm, Blockstream anti-exfil technique, and Nvidia's attempts to placate its upset gamer customers. Listen to the end to find out whether or not you should talk to other people on planes, and when mempools will empty again.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we are again joined by Mags, the loud librarian herself, to cover bcash delistings, microstrategy doubling down, Cryptopia's hacks (yes, that's plural), bull market company valuations, Nigeria's bitcoin ban, and the ins and outs of North America's first ETF launch. It gets a little gossipy at the end...we blame Mags for that.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we take a break from out regular weekly news wrap-up. Instead, Mario and Ruben dig into fundamental questions about bitcoin - What gives it value? Can you care about "number go up" and not about censorship resistasnce? Do devs control bitcoin? For the second half of the show, we do a monster overview of all possible scaling avenues, from present working implementations (Liquid and Lightning Network), experimental projects (statechains), those still being researched (softchains, spacechains, drivechains, SNARKs), and the classic methods of blocksize increases and improvements to bitcoin script (like segwit and taproot). We finish off by announcing a new and totally novel scaling solution destined to solve the issue once and for all.
