  • Great Content

    This show offers a lot of thought-provoking ideas over a wide breadth of topics. Outlets like this will become more and more important as the nature of “truth” is attempted to be shaped by governments, corporations, consortia, and special interest groups.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ownership | Knut Svanholm | Everything Divided By 21 Million | Ep 3 of 12
Q: What is ownership, if not the ability to resist confiscation?
Ownership is not just having a physical item or even the wallet that holds Bitcoin; it's about possessing a secret (the private key) that, if kept safe, allows you to control the funds. The ultimate sovereignty comes from being the only one who knows and can move those keys, rather than owning the physical object itself.
Good vs Evil, Bitcoin, and Fighting for America’s Future | Michael Thompson
Q: How does the guest view blockchain voting, and what are the potential benefits?
The guest envisions a blockchain-based voting system that offers transparency, verifiability, and privacy, allowing voters to be authenticated cryptographically while ensuring that results are immutable and auditable, thereby reducing opportunities for ballot manipulation and enhancing trust in elections.
Good vs Evil, Bitcoin, and Fighting for America’s Future | Michael Thompson
Q: What is the role of NFTs and Web3 in political engagement and access to figures like President Trump?
NFTs were highlighted as tools that provided real-world utility and access to political events, such as meeting leaders, which helped catalyze a crypto-enabled following and showed how digital assets can intersect with political movements by granting exclusive participation opportunities.
Good vs Evil, Bitcoin, and Fighting for America’s Future | Michael Thompson
Q: What ended up happening with the Florida Bitcoin strategic reserve and the broader plan for a crypto-backed real estate initiative?
The guest explains that the initial plan for a Florida Bitcoin strategic reserve faced political maneuvering and delays, but the broader idea persists: to leverage crypto and blockchain to diversify state assets and enable transparent, liquid real estate financing through tokenization and RWAs, with ongoing collaboration and attempts to navigate regulatory hurdles.
Time | Knut Svanholm | Everything Divided By 21 Million | Ep 1 of 12
Q: So as we dive into your book, this will be our very first episode on the very first chapter, which is time. What can you tell us about time?
Time is the only thing we truly experience; the present sits at the intersection of past and future, and in the chapter Knut explains how Bitcoin, as a finite resource, models human time more effectively than fiat money.
