The Merging of Bitcoin & AI – Epi-43

The Bitcoin Breakout Posted on by

Recently Guy Swann did an exceptional episode of AI Unchained (Episode-5 with Kody Low) and it really got me thinking about where these two worlds are headed. We will cover that, and some other really exciting news about Bitcoin and Nostr as well today. The biggest thing I took from Guy’s episode with Kody is this concept, An absolute finite resource is necessary to control and unlimited one. I have been saying a version of this for years in the form of, “if you want an abundance of everything you need scarce money”.  When you think about it this really … Continue reading →

To Preserve Wealth Bitcoin is Your Only Move – Epi-42

The Bitcoin Breakout Posted on by

I was recently listening to Michael Saylors amazing presentation from BTC Prague. Michael was at his finest, leading me to an episode of The Survival Podcast and The Bitcoin Breakout. The statement that resonated most from Michael’s speech was, “In order to preserve wealth, you must convert your assets into assets that are scarce, desirable, portable, durable and maintainable.”  ~Michael Saylor Much like many of Michael’s insights, this is profound in its absolute simplicity and accuracy. The point he was making, and the one we’ll delve deeper into today, is that when it comes to preserving wealth in the modern … Continue reading →

Bitcoin: The Stealth Weapon of the Modern Prepper – Epi-41

The Bitcoin Breakout Posted on by

Today we are going to look at the relationship between Bitcoin and two concepts we discuss often on the podcast; preparedness and permaculture. We’re going to dive deep into how these three elements intertwine and why it’s crucial to grasp their connection. Let’s start with Bitcoin in the context of preparedness. Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital currency, operates independently of any central authority. This unique characteristic makes it a reliable store of value and a means of exchange, especially during times of crisis or economic instability. We’ll explore how Bitcoin can be a strategic tool for financial preparedness, offering a … Continue reading →

Guy Swann & Jack Spirko Discuss Nostr’s Future – Epi-40

The Bitcoin Breakout Posted on by

I asked Guy to join me today to talk about Nostr & it’s future. The monetization of the app space, the concept of “one key pair and your tribe is everywhere, what comes next and a ton more. Don’t miss this one. Nostr is not a social media site, it is a protocol sort of like email or http and it uses clients (similar to say outlook for email) for users to communicate information and exchange value with each other.  As such it can’t be stopped, it can’t be censored and you never lose connection to your network of friends … Continue reading →

Announcing the GrowNostr Initiative – Epi-39

The Bitcoin Breakout Posted on by

Having been on Nostr now for about a month and having banked a nice stack of satoshis in that time I have come to really appreciate what Nostr is all about.  In other words by using it, I get it.  There are some hiccups, this thing is brand new and not everything works all the time.  But Nostr is really not even a beta product yet, more like pre alpha.  So that will correct in time. The one legitamate complaint by members of my audience is that the conversation is dominated by Bitcoin talk.  This makes sense as Nostr’s first … Continue reading →

Bitcoin as a Strategy for an Uncertain Future – Epi-38

The Bitcoin Breakout Posted on by

We are heading into the back half of the current bitcoin halving cycle.  Simply put the next halving will be sometime in March of 2024, and the reward per block will drop from 6.25 to 3.125.  We call this a supply shock.  Simply put Bitcoin has put in its bottom for this cycle and it will be a bumpy up and down journey from here that will trend upward likely for the next two years. This means the excitement will pick up, tons of misinformation from both the pro and anti bitcoin sides will flow.  Bitcoin is going to zero, … Continue reading →
