Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

21 in 21: Kyle Olney
Q: What is the main goal with Save Our Wallets and the Satoshi Needs You campaign, and how do you see the legislation affecting self-custody and open-source software?
The goal is to ensure BRCA language is included in the final market structure bill to confirm non-custodial, open-source software isn't treated as money transmitters, thereby protecting self-custody and discouraging centralized overreach; the campaigns also aim to educate and mobilize Bitcoiners to participate in the legislative process.
21 in 21: Kyle Olney
Q: Kyle, can you just tell us a little bit about your journey from tech into Bitcoin and what led you to do this advocacy work?
Kyle describes a round-trip career path: he started in government during the financial crisis, moved into tech, became an early advocate for Bitcoin, and then returned to focus on Bitcoin policy and advocacy after years in Silicon Valley startups.
21 in 21: Alex Gladstein
Q: What do you see as the ideal role of government in a Bitcoin-enabled world?
Gladstein envisions government as a people-powered institution that should protect rights and mediate disputes, with stronger local governance and less central bureaucracy, enabling safer and freer societies.
21 in 21: Jameson Lopp
Q: What gives you the most hope for Bitcoin's future today?
Despite pessimism about centralized institutions, governments, and fiat, the open-source nature of money and the ongoing adoption and education within the community give hope for a future where money remains sovereign and robust.
21 in 21: Jameson Lopp
Q: Can you give a high-level explanation of your post-Quantum Bitcoin proposal?
The idea is to incentivize migration to quantum-secure setups by considering incentives and game theory, with an emphasis on prevention of harm from those who don't migrate as quantum threats approach.
