Derrick is the man! Thanks for doing this interview.
This podcast is underrated
This is podcast is pure gold
This was an awesome discussion. Derrick Broze is a great advocate for liberty and using actionable tools for getting out of the matrix.
This is the first time I’ve heard Derrick speak in a long time
You can tell he’s really grown a lot as a person. Still maintains his idealistic core, but is much more pragmatic, realistic, and gentle in going about it
You can tell he’s much more at peace with himself and the world despite being passionate to improve things
Wow Derrick is super grounded and balanced. It’s refreshing to hear a freedom maximalist not shoving all or nothing values down your throat as if they’ve had that level of conviction since Day 1, and rather recognising that it’s not necessarily that easy for every individual to pursue those ideals due to their particular circumstances. Also like that he points out not all MSM is lies and not all independent media is truth. It’s important to triangulate between different sources to arrive at some measure of truth
A very important conversation!!! Thank you
This channel is exceptional - producing gems out of left field
Excellent interview. He has an interesting story and outlook.
Awesome guy. Really enjoyed it. Happy he got his life together
Excellent. One of the best Peter.
Never thought I'd see this happen! Derrick is incredible.
Great guest he's got a really authentic vibe
This episode won't get the views it deserves but it's one of your best.
Smart guy. I will get his book.
This is the best interview you've done. Thank you for introducing us to Derrick he is doing amazing work.
Loved seeing Pete stand for and explain why Bitcoin is the only way like a boss!
Killer Episode 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Free Ross
Pete,
Great job; great conversation ! Thank you for all you’re doing!
Love this topic and very interesting guy!!! Do more with him
Great interview!
Wow. Excellent one m8
This guy’s awesome, can’t wait to start watching The Pyramid of Power series
Derrick, Whitney Webb, Ryan Cristian are the best
You guys are amazing. I have a son who is a fentanyl angel. He had small amount of rubbing alcohol in body according to examiner report. Probably testing for presence of fentanyl and the tester failed him.
The least I cld do is to buy Derrick’s books.
Bigger blocks not only threatens decentralisation but when block space is scarce, it's more expensive which incentives mining through higher fees which makes the network more secure.
That was a worthwhile listen
Great. You work with John Bush.
Dan Astin-Gregory has been doing the hard yards over the rona era 👏
Citizens United. Get money out of politics. These elements of US politics can be addressed.
As a follow up, Eron Wolf from FUTO is investing in building a lot of these necessary privacy-respecting software options.
Why hasn’t someone set up a decentralised Silk Road?
Political change from the inside out
❤
The whole point is that the small blocks keep the base layer from being controlled by governments or large corporations. This is essential in keeping bitcoin alive and people can then have discussions/free market demand to decide the/multiple 2nd layers. Anyone in a first world country can absolutely run a node on an old computer. That’s plenty of decentralization but I’m happy to take more.
This is absolutely correct. And for goodness sake people, RUN A NODE!
How does a small block size increase decentralization if people are forced into using custodial solutions and side chains?
Running a node does nothing for the decentralization of the network. Satoshi himself said that full nodes would be run by big servers and transactions would be simply validated by SPV.
Also, if small blocks=decentralization why not make the blocks half the size they are now? It would only require a soft fork.
You're just parroting propaganda bs.
Second, and I want a participation award
Money should appreciate in value...
Lol, NO
Human Empathy, does that get greater every time it's exchanged!?
NO!!!
what the fuck are you talking about
If someone fell for authoritarian covid measures so quickly, what makes you think they wouldn't slip on the next authoritarian movement? Folks who went all in on covid are primed for the next crisis and I'm skeptical that they learned a lesson.
Agreed. But let's be optimistic. Peter, for example, fell for covid and wanted the govt to lock us up - I feel he may just have learned since then.
XXLnt!
Derrick would have to pick Trump or Biden or not voting because there are no other candidates who can win

Congrats

So how are small blocks better for decentralization if it forces people to use custodial solutions or centralized side chains such as Liquid?
The argument that anyone can run a node is ridiculous. How much longer is the block size going to be limited for? 10, 20, 50 years? This limit is from 2017 (with segwit). I'm sure a block size increase in 2024 would be acceptable.
Meanwhile people in developing nations not only don't run a node but also can't make a Bitcoin transaction because of the fees.
This whole argument is completely dishonest. It seems more like a way to prevent the cult backslash or loosing sponsors if you say the contrary.
A *proper* increase requires a hard fork, so no. And nodes are the backbone of the network. The idea that anyone, independent of hardware restrictions, can run a node, is fundamental to the network.
When you increase block size, you diminish that. So it's a non starter.
If a small block size is desirable, why not cut the current limit in half? It would only require a soft fork to do that. Wouldn't that increase centralization according to you?
Answer me this: where does the 1mb limit (+segwit) come from? Why not 300kb? Or 1.5mb? Or 6mb? Do you realize this is just an arbitrary number?
But really, have you put any thought on this question yourself or do you just parrot the propaganda?
I'm a bitcoin maxi and peters argument that smaller blocks means is essential for decentralisation didn't make sense to me on face value. Unless he means that people's influence would continue after the block increase? Larger block size in itself isn't impacted by centralisation from what I can see, how you get there maybe so.
I had to turn him off as soon as he started talking about bitcoin cash lmao
Life must be such a pain in the ass for this guy. I don't agree with everything about living in the system but I'm OK with the balance I've got. I could never be so libertarian- it's kind cringe to me.
It's really not a pain in the ass. It's just about adjusting certain things so you can live in line with your values. Totally 100% worth it for me.
Takes a brave soul to do it. Yr cringe is lack of spine/fear.
Turned off after admitting the guest is a shitcoiner.
If you consider XMR a shitcoiner, thats on you. I am not a maxi for anything. I am interested in what works to maintain privacy and what I can actually use.
