The conversation dives into the mechanics of these policies, the yield generation strategies employed by Meanwhile, and the tax advantages that make them appealing to customers. The episode concludes with insights into the customer experience and the future of Bitcoin in the insurance industry. Takeaways 🔸Bitcoin life insurance represents a significant market disruption. 🔸Recent funding rounds indicate growing institutional interest in Bitcoin. 🔸Life insurance fundamentally aligns with Bitcoin's value proposition. 🔸Bitcoin offers a decentralized store of value for long-term savings. 🔸Traditional life insurance fails in hyperinflationary environments. 🔸Bitcoin policies can provide better purchasing power over time. 🔸The structure of Meanwhile's policies allows for tax-free compounding. 🔸Borrowing against life insurance policies can be tax advantageous. 🔸Beneficiaries receive full payouts regardless of contribution duration. 🔸The future of life insurance may increasingly involve Bitcoin as a settlement layer.

1 Bitcoin Core OP RETURN and spam explained by a Core Dev with Antoine Poinsot | SLP661 1:26:13
1:26:13 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요1:26:13
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Stephan and Antoine discuss the complexities surrounding Bitcoin's OP_RETURN functionality and the ongoing debate about spam filtering on the Bitcoin network. They explore the implications of consensus rules, standardness, and the historical context of these discussions. Antoine provides insights into the motivations behind changes in Bitcoin Core's policies and the potential future of Bitcoin as both a currency and a data storage solution. The conversation highlights the urgency of addressing OP_RETURN issues while also considering the broader implications of spam filtering and its impact on Bitcoin's usability and miner centralization. The conversation also touches upon the growth of the UTXO set, the challenges of managing spam, and the philosophical differences between Bitcoin Core and alternative implementations. Takeaways 🔸Bitcoin is defined by its consensus rules. 🔸There are tighter rules for unconfirmed transactions in Bitcoin Core. 🔸Standardness rules help prevent harmful transactions from being relayed. 🔸The OP_RETURN output was standardized to mitigate negative externalities. 🔸Historical context shows little demand for non-standard transactions. 🔸The urgency to fix OP_RETURN issues is debated among developers. 🔸Filters can work in certain contexts but not universally. 🔸Concerns about miner centralization are significant for Bitcoin's future. 🔸Speculating on motivations can detract from logical arguments. 🔸The future of Bitcoin Core depends on adapting to user demand. Miners are incentivized to include all transactions, including spam. 🔸Economic demand drives the use of alternative relay networks. 🔸Filtering transactions may not effectively stop spam propagation. 🔸The UTXO set growth is influenced by various factors, including spam. 🔸Changing Bitcoin's consensus rules can have unintended consequences. 🔸The cat and mouse game of filtering may lead to centralization risks. 🔸Communication between developers and users is crucial for consensus. 🔸The future of OP_RETURN is uncertain and requires community engagement. 🔸Inscriptions and meta-protocols complicate the UTXO set issue. 🔸Bitcoin's core philosophy resists changes that could limit its flexibility. Timestamps: (00:00) - Intro (01:42) - Understanding Consensus & Relay policies in Bitcoin (05:21) - Historical context of standardness Rules in Bitcoin Core (11:05) - Are Bitcoin Core proponents being paid to ‘break’ Bitcoin?

(39:03) - Do filters work or do they not? (43:27) - Are concerns about UTXO bloat, miner centralisation, block propagation etc. being overplayed by Core devs?

(1:07:00) - Why did Core not try to stop bare multisig spam? (1:08:58) - Should Bitcoin devs be playing a whackamole game with spammers?

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요In this conversation, Stephan Livera and Michael Tanguma explore the current landscape of Bitcoin, focusing on the challenges of self-custody, the role of custodians, and the emergence of multi-institution custody solutions. They discuss the importance of education in the Bitcoin space, the dynamics of Bitcoin treasury companies, and the unique opportunities for Bitcoin adoption in the Middle East. The conversation emphasizes the need for evolving security measures as Bitcoin adoption increases and the complexities of integrating Bitcoin with traditional finance. Takeaways 🔸The onboarding process for Bitcoin is complex and requires education. 🔸Self-custody is challenging for many individuals, especially those with significant wealth. 🔸Institutional investors often prefer custodial solutions due to perceived security. 🔸Multi-institution custody offers a balance between security and accessibility. 🔸The Bitcoin ecosystem is evolving with new custody solutions to meet market demands. 🔸Education about Bitcoin and custody is crucial for wider adoption. 🔸The perception of Bitcoin's security is influenced by historical events like FTX. 🔸Individuals often conflate self-custody with the need for trusted intermediaries. 🔸The future of Bitcoin custody may involve advanced technologies like Miniscript. 🔸Meeting clients where they are in their understanding of Bitcoin is essential. Nobody kidnaps billionaires for their equity portfolio. 🔸Bitcoin changes the dynamic of theft and kidnappings. 🔸Most people can't think about outperforming Bitcoin. 🔸Liquidity killed all soundness in business unit economics. 🔸Everything is good for Bitcoin, but not for individuals. 🔸Bitcoin is a perfect fit for commodity-rich countries. 🔸Bitcoin is the solution they've been looking for. 🔸We need to be prepared for $250,000 Bitcoin. 🔸Think about security aspects and privacy elements.
