    35:28 if you increase the block size it will also be full... regardless of the size it will always be full. You can think to the game theory behind this.

    If you told me up front that they were going to spend the first 20 minutes talking about football then I wouldn’t have listened but it was a really interesting conversation and I’m glad I did. Looking forward to hearing how your team does over time

    RE: 26:36 Andrew's comment was on the bitcoin-dev mailing list:
    Unfortunately, as near as I can tell there is no sensible way to prevent
    people from storing arbitrary data in witnesses without incentivizing
    even worse behavior and/or breaking legitimate use cases.
    If we ban "useless data" then it would be easy for would-be data storers
    to instead embed their data inside "useful" data such as dummy
    signatures or public keys. Doing so would incur a ~2x cost to them, but
    if 2x is enough to disincentivize storage, then there's no need to have
    this discussion because they will will be forced to stop due to fee
    market competition anyway. (And if not, it means there is little demand
    for Bitcoin blockspace, so what's the problem with paying miners to fill
    it with data that validators don't even need to perform real computation
    on?).
    But if we were to ban "useful" data, for example, saying that a witness
    can't have more than 20 signatures in it, then we are into the same
    problem we had pre-Taproot: that it is effectively impossible construct
    signing policies in a general and composeable way, because any software
    that does so will need to account for multiple independent limits. We
    deliberately replaced such limits with "you need to pay 50 weight for
    each signature" to makes this sort of analysis tractable.
    There's a reasonable argument that this sort of data is toxic to the
    network, since even though "the market is willing to bear" the price of
    scares blockspace, if people were storing NFTs and other crap on the
    chain, then the Bitcoin fee market would become entangled with random
    pump&dump markets, undermining legitimate use cases and potentially
    preventing new technology like LN from gaining a strong foothold. But
    from a technical point of view, I don't see any principled way to stop
    this.

    “next time I’ll come to Bedford”. Who has three days round trip to sit for a couple hour interview? Im beginning to believe there is more money talking in the Bitcoin Bro celeb circle than actively working in Bitcoin - quite removed from real world folk. Of course, envy drives my comment, and the info provided is insightful.

    Didn’t want to listen to Nic, cause I felt he lost it and went total egomaniac.
    However, I al glad a put my prejudice aside and listened anyway, I enjoyed it a lot, and agreed with more than 90% of what he had to tell, and he seemed quite humble to me.
    So thanks again Peter for bringing us good guests and content.

    Bitcoin is lousy money....for now. Why? Why do I say this?
    Because Bitcoin (Ethereum is the same, for what it's worth) DEflates rather than INflates, then anyone holding bitcoin thinks that if they get some BTC and HODL, then can imagine that their stake will increase in value; maybe holy crap fuck ton! If people are incentivized to hodl, then bitcoin is an investment asset/commodity, but not really money. In emergencies, like the Canadian trucker thing, BTC can be used as money, but normally, it's like oil or gold. It's an investment commodity, not money.

      It has to reach its stable value ($5M+) before it can be used as a unit of account/currency. And why would you want to sell it for goods and services while there's still dirty fiat you can sell?
      Once most people are heavily invested in it (which is the natural result of the built-in NGU tech), there will be an increasing demand to transact in it directly, rather than having to exchange for fiat first.
