0:00.0 | Many bitcoiners, even those who don't think you can ban Bitcoin, acknowledge how difficult governments |
0:04.3 | could make it for their citizens to interact with it. |
0:07.0 | But what they believe that someone like Dahlio doesn't understand is that there is a paradigm |
0:12.5 | shift in power on a more fundamental level. |
0:16.0 | This is the shift in power from states to network. |
0:19.5 | Bitcoin is both an outgrowth and an accelerant of this |
0:22.7 | shift from state power to network power. And like trying to squeeze your fist around water in an |
0:28.2 | ocean, Bitcoin will, like all network power, simply flow elsewhere. Welcome back to the |
0:35.7 | breakdown with me, NLW. |
0:38.7 | It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. |

1:17.5 | on the show. In the long term, I think the right balance is something like two to three guests a week |
1:22.2 | and three to four regular shows per week. However, with the new baby, the scheduling of guests |
1:27.1 | gets a little bit hairy, |
1:28.5 | and so I'm probably going to be backing off that just for a minute. It will not go away. And in fact, |
1:33.5 | if you have guests that you're specifically interested in, I'm also really conscious of the fact |
1:38.2 | that with so many great podcasts out there right now, it can be kind of a junket where you hear |
