Beskrivelse

Bitcoin Well Reads: The Great Decoupling: From the Reformation of Heaven to the Reformation of Money The most powerful institutions in history all share one trait — they make themselves indispensable. The medieval Church taught that you needed a priest to reach God. The modern central bank teaches that you need a custodian to store value. Both monopolies look natural until somebody opens the door. In this episode, we read Konrad Fitzpatrick's piece The Great Decoupling: From the Reformation of Heaven to the Reformation of Money. Konrad draws a clean line between two technical documents written five centuries apart — Martin Luther's 95 Theses and Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper — and lays out the structural rhyme between them. Both were calls to fire the middleman. Both were marketed through a new printing technology. Both produced an explosion of human sovereignty that the old institutions never recovered from.

Explains: How to Actually Use a Hardware Wallet

Bitcoin Well Explains: Explains: Hardware Wallet Setup, Transactions, and the Rules That Keep You Safe Bitcoin Well Explains: Hardware Wallets The theory is one thing. Actually doing it is something else entirely. If you're a beginner, the thought of buying a hardware wallet, moving your Bitcoin off an exchange, and sending your first transaction probably gives you an anxiety attack. The first few times Zach sent Bitcoin, it scared him too. The fear is completely normal. It's also the main thing standing between you and genuine financial sovereignty. This video takes the training wheels off. In this episode of the Bitcoin Well 101 series, Zach delivers a practical step-by-step deep dive into actually using a hardware wallet — which devices to buy, how to set them up without getting scammed, how to send and receive your first Bitcoin transaction, and what to do when the moments that will make your stomach drop inevitably happen.

Reads: Bitcoin: The Next Chapter of Humanity

Bitcoin Well Reads: Bitcoin: The Next Chapter of Humanity Every time humanity has taken a major step forward, something fundamental changed beneath it. Not just a new invention — a new foundation. Agriculture changed how we lived. Electricity changed how we built. The internet changed how we communicate. Bitcoin belongs in that same category. Most people still see it as something financial. What's happening underneath is much deeper. In this episode of Reads on the Bitcoin Well Podcast, Zach reads "Bitcoin: The Next Chapter of Humanity" by Ulises Alfaro — a piece that steps back from price cycles, headlines, and market noise to ask a quieter and more important question: what does Bitcoin change at the base layer of human civilization?

Why Don't New Bitcoiners Self-Custody? Roberto Rios, Simply Bitcoin, and Kyle Huber Explain | Bitcoin Well Spaces

75% of all Bitcoin transactions never touch the blockchain. 33% of all Bitcoin is held at Coinbase. Only 12 to 15% of new Bitcoiners self-custody their coins. Those numbers are depressing. This conversation is about why — and what to do about it. In this Bitcoin Well Spaces, Konrad and Zach sit down with Roberto Rios (The Peruvian Bull), Niko from Simply Bitcoin, Kyle Huber (filmmaker, We Are Satoshi podcast), and Dr. Troy to dig into one of the most important unsolved problems in Bitcoin: why, despite everything we know about self-custody, the vast majority of Bitcoiners still leave their coins on exchanges.

Simon Dixon and The Peruvian Bull: The Yen Is Collapsing, The War Continues, and Bitcoin Is Watching

The yen has lost a third of its purchasing power in five years against the dollar. The Bank of Japan now owns half of its own bond market. And every other reserve currency appears to be on the same trajectory. In this May 14th Bitcoin Well Spaces, Zach sits down with Roberto Rios (The Peruvian Bull) and macro analyst Robert of Infra for one of the most comprehensive macro conversations the show has run. Simon Dixon — Bitcoin OG and respected on-chain analyst — joins midway through for additional perspective.
