Mahin Gupta | Hiring for Liminal

I can not stress this enough. Not your keys, not your coins. #Bitcoin

@anshuldhir_ Bhai, above was pasta 🍝

@mahingupta Not recommending anything. But can’t be ignored totally. Movement of BTC is decisive in overall sentiment. It’s a leading indicator. But yes, i agree on not encouraging price discussions alot. Already lot of noise.

@AlexAndBooks_ At Liminal @liminalcustody we have a book club benefit available to all employees. They can order one book a month and they can keep it. Reading books is how you argey with yourself.

Business life hack: Give employees an unlimited budget for non-fiction books. Why wouldn't you want your employees to learn more about business, leadership, sales, etc?

If you will watch the whole episode, he actually mentions that as the time passes it's difficult to change protocols (ossification), however that is a natural phenomenon resulting from wide adoption and not some ideological position. Starting around 23:56 youtu.be/UsNaoCBOWbk?si…

@dotkrueger I disagree with Anton here, as much as I admire him. The idea of increasing bandwidth not affecting decentralization is misleading. It's the very act of changing the protocol that reveals there is some centralized control that makes change easy or even possible.

It is incredibly important to understand that #Bitcoin is not a piece of software like Microsoft Word, to be endlessly tinkered with. It is a protocol for value transfer; an immutable foundation on which to build a new monetary order.

A much missed voice @aantonop weighs in on the covenants discussion (28 May 2024) Thanks @liminalcustody

@dotkrueger Thanks Fred. I am Mahin, the host of the podcast and founder at Liminal. Ultimately #Bitcoin development needs more discussions and voice of reason. We have found something amazing in Bitcoin and we cannot afford to lose this chance to build sound money.

This interview of Andreas Antonopolis weighing in on Lightning vs Covenants (and other scaling solutions) should be watched, even if / especially if you are the kind of person who gets triggered by these discussions. 1. He points out that scaling is a journey, where new roadblocks keep requiring new solutions. On the Internet side, HTML1 scaled fine, until there were lots of images and videos, and we needed new technologies. Same is true here. 2. Right now Lightning exists and Covenants are *years away* from commercial implementation, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look into them and other technologies Because this is Andreas, you can't dismiss it out of hand, if you are "slowly change it over the next 400 years" kind of guy. This video is fantastic.

@austerity_sucks @ercwl Thanks for the kind words. Andreas has always been the voice of reason. What made me think is his perspective on what it means to go mainstream. You will have to dilute your culture. Happened with early internet community and will happen with all such communities.

I'm dripping with nostalgia watching Andreas break his silence. (youtube.com/watch?v=UsNaoC…) A deep calm came upon me in this discussion that is rich with covering the fundamentals of bitcoin life/technology/history. His wisdom rains down on me in this environment of crypto culture being at its all-time-low. So refreshing to get back to first principles re: - Scalability of bitcoin, other blockchains, and technology in general - "graceful failure" in the evolution of technology - BTC vs ETH -- two separate domains - Groking custody and operational security on the internet, passing down coins in death etc - Knowledge sharing and distribution vs financial greed, and the responsibility of passing norms on to next generation the truth - The fucking importance of privacy in bitcoin and how we are totally fucked in that area STILL It took me back to old days of shitposting on bitcointalk, babbling on Teamspeak, and just plotting revolution with the lads based on our anarchistic views were that made up our culture (those in class of 2010-2013). I am ashamed of my careless post dismissing him last week (x.com/austerity_suck…) -- he blocked me about 6 years ago because i challenged him on some woke stuff he said which does not matter and i apologise and hope Andreas will unblock me and be more vocal to anchor things in crypto toward a sensible direction. Andreas is like a crypto Plato or Aristotle, a true wizard. I yearn for more of the real OG's to rise up and set things straight in the scene, but maybe that is just a dream. Watch the full episode, truly a great job by @liminalcustody and for @ercwl giving a constructive nudge in the question which set the tone for Andreas' whole talk.

@ercwl @aantonop @liminalcustody Thanks Eric for the shout-out. Also the question helped me to gain an interesting perspective from Andreas.
