Are shitcoins just a convenient smokescreen which keeps governments and regulated distracted from Bitcoin? This has to be the most memorable and controversial part of this season 3 finale with Christian (@ck_SNARKs on Twitter).

The POV Crypto Podcast co-host also expresses some ideas which he read in James Dale Davidson’s “The Sovereign Individual” and perpetually reminds everyone that we are in the middle of the hyperbitcoinization process: it’s not something that will just happen someday, but a marathon which we’re all running and whose starting gun has been shot by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009.

Listen to this unique 90-minute discussion and think again about the purpose of shitcoins: are they risky investments that newbies should avoid at all costs? Definitely! Do they deserve to get liquidity in their experimental and mostly dishonest marketing-based state? Clearly not! But are they successful mechanisms to keep the media and the governments busy while Bitcoin is blossoming? Well, they might just be.

The episode is available on iTunes and Spotify.

Starting this season, 25% of all donations will go to the Free Ross campaign, to help Ross Ulbricht get a second chance. The draconian sentence that he received should concern every bitcoiner around the world, as the government which poses as a champion of liberty gives a double life sentence for indirect and non-violent crimes involving Bitcoin. 

It’s a slippery slope that should concern us all, regardless of the jurisdiction under which we find ourselves. The case of Ross Ulbricht has set a dangerous precedent all around the world, as lesser democratic countries can simply prosecute bitcoiners under similar charges and with outcomes that are just as harsh. 

If Ross was to receive clemency or at least a second trial with another judge by taking into account the new evidence, the decision would get noticed by judges and politicians worldwide. Whether we like it or not, the USA is an example for the rest of the world and we can actually try to make a difference in a positive sense.

As usual, 50% of BTC earnings will be sent to the guest. In this situation, Colin will be rewarded for his time, effort, and knowledge.

Bitcoin Magazine journalist Colin Harper is a university graduate with a degree in English. In his spare time, he takes a lot of interest in politics, enjoys reading studies on various social sciences, and holds the rather unconventional belief that Bitcoin should also be interesting for left-wingers (Marxists and social democrats alike).

Throughout this 80-minute interview, we discuss various experiences from the field of journalism, why Bitcoin Magazine is THE ivory tower in terms of high demands and rigor, and which political issues Bitcoin might be able to solve.

We agree that stateless, uncensorable, and unconfiscatable money should be a tool for all peope regardless of their political views, and then go on to talk about boomers and their views on Bitcoin.

The images that you see in the YouTube version are from the 1948 Leslie Brooks film noir, “Blonde Ice”. It’s an artistic direction that I’ve been meaning to take, since I consider black and white cinematography to be one of the most underrated forms of art. The motion picture is part of the public domain. Find out more details from the Wikipedia page.

Paradoxically, Austrian bitcoiner Gigi has had no exposure to the Austrian School of Economics before he got into Bitcoin. However, his understanding has developed way beyond the conventional views as he’s started to explore Ralph Merkle’s theory about Satoshi’s invention bearing the characteristics of a living organism.

Throughout the talk, we also discuss issues such as state intervention and limited government, the likeliness of hyperbitcoinization, and general political considerations which might affect Bitcoin.

Follow Gigi on Twitter to find out more about his two interesting projects: bitcoin-resources.com and 21lessons.com.
