“There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“
Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met.
The episode continues with part two, and we cover the balance of his incredible article:
Toward a Node World Order;
How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing.

In this part, we cover:

Why Gold “didn’t fix this”

The Establishment of a Bitcoin World Order 


A fundamentally better economic operating system 
The Industrial Revolution freed humanity from the Malthusian trap. Bitcoin, having put an end to counterfeiting once and for all, frees us from the fiat trap.
