Reboot - Read_773 - A Solution to Scaling Lightning
In this episode of Bitcoin Audible, I revisit an important concept that deserves more attention: timeout trees and their potential to revolutionize scaling for the Lightning Network.
Based on Shinobi's article, "A Solution to Scaling Lightning," we explore how this innovative proposal leverages CheckTemplateVerify (CTV) to create a simple yet powerful scaling primitive. Could timeout trees be the key to unlocking the next order of magnitude in Lightning's efficiency?
I break down the mechanics of timeout trees, their implications for channel factories, and how they address Lightning's long-term scaling limitations. Along the way, I share my own commentary on the broader impact of this technology, from its role in decentralizing trust to its potential for reshaping local and global financial systems.
What does this mean for the future of Bitcoin? How can timeout trees empower families, communities, and individuals to reclaim sovereignty in a world dominated by centralized systems? Let's find out.

Chat_129 - Building the UX Last Mile with UTXO
The irony of posting on Twitter, how Nostr isn't decentralized enough, is not lost on UTXO. He's back! UTXO and I have a much needed catch up on the many projects he has been building and explore the ups and down of Nostr, why its so misunderstood, the state of Ai and how it is changing the market, and how to build the UX that Bitcoin and Lightning deserve. Also... the SBR is stupid. Enjoy!

Read_874 - A Heatpunk's Manifesto
What if your heating system could pay you in Bitcoin? In this episode, I read an article exploring the concept of "heat punks"—Bitcoin miners who use their rigs not just to earn sats, but to heat their homes. The article breaks down the economics of mining-as-heating, from upfront costs to the surprising efficiencies that make it viable. Along the way, I add my own thoughts on the practicality of this approach, the trade-offs involved, and what it could mean for the future of energy use. Could mining rewards turn heat into a byproduct rather than an expense? Let’s dive in.

Reboot - Take #44 - Bitcoin is Not What you Think it is
Life has been hectic lately, but I didn’t want to leave you hanging! While I navigate the joys of parenthood, I’m bringing back a classic - Guy's Take #44 - Bitcoin is Not What you Think it is.
What if your understanding of Bitcoin is only scratching the surface? In this episode, I dive into the deeper realities of money itself—how great societies are built on sound money, why money is more foundational than language, and how prices convey critical information rather than being arbitrary. We also explore the nature of time, the role of proof of work in ancient history, and why money is ultimately a tool for transmitting truth.
If you missed it the first time, now’s the perfect moment to give it a listen.
