The Bitcoin Gauntlet

@nprofile…9u3d @nprofile…hw9w Is there anyone you know on Nostr who you think would want to try The Gauntlet? I improved many of the prompts, so it’s much better now than when you guys did it.

2025-09-23 23:02:37 UTC

This was a fun chat with @npub1gfx…escl. We discuss Bitcoin’s full potential valuation, “Bitcoin fixes this” as a messaging tool, and Nostr vs Bitcoin adoption.

Knut and Luke, would you like to try the Bitcoin Gauntlet together? You’d be the first duo on the show who would get to debate each other instead of me. The format is a choose-your-own-adventure interview/debate.

@nprofile…gxj6 I’m trying to educate in a roundabout way with my podcast. Guests get to choose their own debate prompts, which are divisive ideas in Bitcoin that I’d personally like to see hashed out. I made the pod, in part, to further educate myself and the guests on these issues. Hopefully the audience gets some of that value too. I don’t need or want sponsors, talking to Bitcoiners is value enough.

Then at ~50mins Saifedean explains how USDT will eventually be backed by Bitcoin.

2025-06-05 13:12:18 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…67pu At 36 mins here, Saifedean makes some good new points about stablecoin adoption that we missed. Specifically, that USDT adopters (in the developing world) will increase their cash balances relative to their peers who use the local, more inflationary currency. That bigger cash balance in USDT can then, in time, be traded for Bitcoin as longer-term savings. https://fountain.fm/episode/us4OtK6HIiDvOWtFCEv2

“Exploit” typically implies coercion so, no. Based on how he quoted ‘liberty’, i think he’s being sarcastic and means coercively. If he meant “utilize”, then it’s fine.
