| 2019-11-07 | The Bitcoin Reformation | Report | This report makes the case that the 21st century emergence of bitcoin, encryption, the internet, and millennials are more than just trends; they herald a wave of change that exhibits similar dynamics as the 16-17th century revolution that took place in Europe. Some of the conclusions our report suggests: • Bitcoin tolerance versus intolerance to become a major political faultline • Bitcoin’s primary drivers will be in saving, lending and underwriting • Collaborative custody to become an industry standard • Offshore banking may transform into bitcoin banking • Bitcoin to mature quickly: bonds, annuities, loans, insurance • Initial exchange offerings (IEOs) expected to stay and grow larger • Bitcoin savers could accelerate a revolution in the history of though | https://docsend.com/view/ijd8qrs | |||
| 2020-11-30 | Bitcoin is Hope | Essay/Thoughts/Whitepaper/Opinion | Robert Breedlove | Antithetical to the entrepreneurial ethic is the central bank, which “chases two rabbits” of growth and stability, with deleterious results in the long-run. Growth is purely a market process, and it cannot be induced by decree (just try yelling at your garden to “grow faster”). By attempting to override Darwinian reality, central banking stifles entrepreneurial adaptivity — the most important aspect of survival for any species. | https://www.swanbitcoin.com/bitcoin-is-hope/ | ||

| 2021-09-19 | Only The Strong Survive | Literature/Paper | Allen Farrington,Big Al | In this piece we discuss our concerns around the broader “crypto” space beyond Bitcoin. Our arguments revolve around three primary themes: Philosophical, Technical, and Economic. From a philosophical perspective, we discuss the core properties that make Bitcoin work and that make it unique, in our view. From a technicalperspective, we evaluate how these properties are lacking to a greater or lesser extent in alternative “cryptoassets,” having been designed out again on questionable philosophical justifications. From an economic perspective, we walkthrough our concerns that “crypto” has not shown a path to establishing a basis for justifiable real-world value, explain why we believe this would be very difficult to ever accomplish, and suggest therefore that their technical flaws are especially vulnerable. Given the complexity of the task we have set ourselves, this piece is intended to bring our arguments into long form and provide a discussion base for good faith disagreement. | https://www.uncerto.com/only-the-strong-survive |
