It's great to see Erik evolve. Here his communication style - his pacing, his tone, his choice of words, his wisdom and thoughtfulness shine. It's almost as if he has become spiritual or wise in some ways. Hard to put my finger on it since I don't know him personally, but he is undoubtedly one of the most principled men in the bitcoin space and a great example of what a man and what a mind can be.
I am approaching 60 years and learning lots with AI Chatbots. I haven'tpaid for Venice Pro as on low income but am learning from the Free Venice what I can try. Presently the Sword looks to me a Hand and a Half Sword of approximately 600 years ago. Venice says " One significant event that fought against state oppression around 600 years ago was the Peasants' Revolt in England in 1381. Led by Wat Tyler and John Ball, it was the most significant popular uprising in English history before the 19th century. The revolt protested against the highest levels of society and government, including the monarchy, the nobility, and the Church. It demanded lower rents and taxes, the abolition of serfdom, and the liberation of serfs who worked the land. The revolt ended in failure, but it forced the government to address some of the issues raised by the peasants.
Thank you both for your dedication to Bitcoin. I struggle everyday being the "weirdo" in my circle of people/friends/family and still haven't made it to the respected stage. But I do see hope that it is coming. Erik you are GOAT status, your conviction and ideologies give me hope for the future. Keep going everyone!
Erik's intuition about people is incredible, I absolutely think Peter had these qualities which is why I watch him even though I'm more of an ethereal guy. I don't watch all his shows but I watch a good amount of them because they show how open he is to talking with different varieties of people. If this was just a Bitcoin maxi show I would rarely watch.
Had an amazing 3 hour chat with Venice AI. All about Divisiveness. Venice gave some insight into further options. I only did it, because I trust Erik. Now I'm doing it because Venice can help me on my learning journey. Thanks Peter.
Strange to see Erik back on since you guys disagree so often. none the less glad that ego doesn't get in the way from the both of you and you can still have solid discussions.
he is one the top ten, if not top five Ambassadors for Bitcoin over the years, everything he says is well-thought through and makes sense...Am eager to follow his new project
Great interview!! I’ve been interested to learn more about Eric. He has so much experience and is an OG. Working to draw a line in the sand for the growth of government it demanding efficiency is not a radical idea.
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire episode of this podcast. I was recently exposed to Erik during a bitcoin talk of some sort, which didn't allow his full personality to blossom as this interview. Podcast's and interviews are memorable for different reasons, but this one highlighted Erik's ability to articulate his current life and concerns. I like the layout of the venue and your easy going way of unveiling Erik's communication skills and speech cadence which just added to the experience. Looking forward to the next episode.
Erik Voorhees - best man in crypto. The arc of ShapeShift going from a thriving innovation to suffocating compliance back to thriving innovation is just incredible!
If not Eric .....Then that 'Honest AI Being/Robot' Mike was describing the last 60 sec of the interview is who we want for President... Ole' Honest AI (Abe)🤣
Without government and private charity, there were cultural norms to curtail drug use, single motherhood, etc. With an unlimited safety net, these norms leave. It's no different from bank bailouts. Unlimited safety nets change culture.
Crazy idea... Before Erik comes on your Bitcoin podcast to promote his Venice AI platform that accepts crypto... ...Ask him to enable payments for a Venice subscription, via the Lightning Network instead of us having to figure out which shitcoin wallet to use to pay for the service
1:09:48 This is a classic What Bitcoin Did podcast. Great guest, great points, discussion that you can't get elsewhere and then Peter says something extremely ignorant that turns me off
IS THERE A WAY FOR ANYONE TO PUBLICLY VERIFY THE BITCOIN HOLDINGS OF A COMPANY? This looks like a big problem as banks hold more bitcoin in custodial forms
At 16:26 Peters idea to reduce Gov spending is prob not good for people that rely on such services due to the initial interventions of gov and especially money. The current fiat sysyem drastically creats wealth disparity so therefore the poor need more help while the rich get richer. Maybe you can identify and cut waste from programs and low value gov employees
Tradfi will follow- they always follow the money 💰 🤑 BTC and Web 3 are unstoppable and offer a global safe haven. Right now Dubai is leading, and I love Dubai, but I am an American and pray for USA to lead this new industry. 🇺🇸 Dubai - thank you for paving the way, I hope to take my Web 3 gains and visit Dubai again.
Well Peter, if you're going to be mayor, and reduce taxes. You have to also change the regulations and or laws, so people are freer to work. Start business's, and do business on their own property. Otherwise it will NEVER work to simply reduce taxes.
I've been making a lot of losses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
14:17 "...violate a person that hasnt committed a crime"...huh? What crime? If there is no government there is no "law". If there is no law, there is no crime anyway.
America had crazy immigration restrictions when government was smaller. It was more of a social force and not from the feds but it was not a multiethnic Kumbayah like he is describing.
Hey peeps , at the about minute 35 he talk aboit this book he says is to this day the most inspiring book he has ever read but I didn't understand the title of the book right, did someeone else get it? I need a good read, Cheers
It has taken finally understanding money printing to turn me towards libertarianism. I genuinely used to believe that the public good could only really be done in the public sector because it wasn't profit-driven. I wrongly assumed that if the government was responsible for providing health care to people then it would be motivated to value health as a way of decreasing costs of care. What I didn't understand is that this motivation to keep costs down is meaningless when you can just brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr away.
the rainbow disk had a large space in the middle which is where the pronoun is supposed to be written by the person that holds the disk. it's not that "JP Morgan" is supposed to BE the pronoun
47:41 Ut O, Mike and I are concerned, by the time we are 65 are all our AI devices and social media AI going to just show Bigs Boobs, Big Boob Shirts, Table cloths, Big Boob Sandals and combine whats really always on our mind with all we buy, Big Boob Kitchen Curtains, Big Boob Coffee mugs? and so on and so on ..🤣😂🤣
1:13:45 This is the test to me. does he push agents using bitcoin? will he discuss the clockspeed issue if he is going to paint a picture of agent to agent smart contracts and agent to agent payments?? >why the fuck would an agent with a clockspeed that would make our world seem frozen in time? >to an agent “thinking” millions of times faster than an organic mind 10 minutes would be like waiting for a transaction to settle for a decade //solana would be glacial to agents :: if a blockchain would be utilized that would be the substrate for agent to agent contracts and transactions it would need to be waaaaay faster than anything that exists now. such a blockchain would most likely be developed by an AGI. remember your organic mind is so slow we would seem like plants to an ai agent. our instant settlement is there endless wait and thinking an agent-that is optimizing for efficiency -would touch a ten minute block settlement-or some janky layer upon layer tower of bullshit built on bitcoin-is foolish and anyone who pushes the idea might have a project they are selling you or a bridge in brooklyn
PETER. DO NOT RUN FOR MAYOR OF BEDFORD. YOURE DOING MORE FOR THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ROLE AS ENTREPRENEUR AND PODCAST HOST THAN YOU WILL EVER ACHIEVE AS THE MAYOR FOR BEDFORD.
Strange the example talked about in the podcast gives me different results: This is what I got on Venice: There is no conclusive evidence to support the claim that the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 originated from a laboratory. The majority of experts and organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US government, consider the lab-leak hypothesis to be unlikely. Several lines of evidence suggest that the virus likely originated from a natural source: The genetic makeup of SARS-CoV-2 shows a high degree of similarity to coronaviruses found in bats and pangolins, which are both animals that are known to carry coronaviruses. The earliest reported cases of COVID-19 in China were linked to a seafood market in Wuhan, which also sold live animals. This has led many experts to believe that the virus jumped from an animal host to humans at this market.
Are you sure you want an image generator that is not censored? This would mean that sick people could generate whatever they want. This is absolutely irresponsible, crazy and dangerous! Your thoughts on "less" or even "no government" are also crazy. There are many countries in the world especially in Africa or for example Afghanistan. Go and try to live there with "the grown up adults" who live there!
We all learn at our own pace. The goal is to get there eventually, is it not? It's not trivial to remove all the biases and bullshit that we're fed growing up.

Agreed...He Is wearing a cross. I've never seen that on him before. I wonder if he has indeed become religious.

Erik is one of my top 5 favorite OGs..truly a great person
Erik V has done as much for us all as anyone in the space, Thank you 👍
in podcasts, he is very good, but when it comes to debates, he loses his composure quickly.
@@geoms6263errr, he held up pretty well against Peter Schiff very recently. He’s a great ambassador for the space.
@@geoms6263 I do not think that's what SBF thought. Erik petty much helped to cook him and FTX.
@@geoms6263 Good! We need more people to say what they think, truly, instead of pretending they're nice folk.

I always enjoy Erik Voorhees he taught me to think outside this bat shit crazy world.
Strange to see Erik back on since you guys disagree so often. none the less glad that ego doesn't get in the way from the both of you and you can still have solid discussions.
we live in a world where people think its strange to talk to each other because they disagree...
I disagree with a lot of Erik's takes as well.
Doesn't change the fact that he's my favorite bitcoin/crypto person.
Great interview!
Erik Voorhees my hero! If only we had people like him as a candidates to US president, instead of those clowns we supposed to vote for right now..
he is one the top ten, if not top five Ambassadors for Bitcoin over the years, everything he says is well-thought through and makes sense...Am eager to follow his new project
Listening to these podcasts over time becomes like watching a slow movie about Peter's development, learnings and things going on in his life.
It literally is that :)
Great interview love the way he thinks
I love it! Eric is wonderful and I wish his ventures much success.
Was waiting for this response! Well done amd thank you!
He is always soooooo well spoken!!!! 11/10!
Great interview!! I’ve been interested to learn more about Eric. He has so much experience and is an OG. Working to draw a line in the sand for the growth of government it demanding efficiency is not a radical idea.
i heard erik speak about sound money at conference in San Jose back in 2013. it was spectacular and definitely part of my orange pill moment
7:36 Government needs to be a partner, not an umbrella, it must shrink and serve its citizens. Great conversation - thank you!🎉
Amazing interview with Erik, like always.
It’s been a long time coming, but im glad to hear Peter finally came to the conclusion that taxation is indeed theft.
Help me out. Does this mean all taxation?
absolutely brilliant, thankyou

Erik I will always appreciated Shapeshift, as a early Miner I relied heavely on your service! Thanks for all that you do for the crypto space!
The first ever video I’ve watched on this channel. Great interview! 👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would be interested in hearing Erik and Jeff booth discuss technology, freedom, and the future political economy.
Love the hell out of that TABLE, strong firm, unshakable... you don't see that everyday.
Fantastic interview!
Great show
Talking to a real OG Bitcoin legend 😊
This guy is amazing! Shapeshift is going to be massive!
Erik Voorhees - best man in crypto.
The arc of ShapeShift going from a thriving innovation to suffocating compliance back to thriving innovation is just incredible!
❤ how you display info on the bottom corner (opposite corner of What Bitcoin Did)!
Why not display the info the entire length of the video?
35:25 What is the title of book Erik is talking about?
Erik made an excellent point: queues are an example of anarchy
Love this guy. ANY friend of Ayn is a friend of mine
Erik!!! 🙂 Absolutely my favorite shitcoiner!
When Erik was on bitcoin you were watching keeping up with the Kardashians
Great to finally meet Erik in person (vicariously 😂)
Awesome show today, i was using GPT but I actually subscribed to Venice myself cause of this.
Erik is my favorite Bitcoiner
Shitcoiner*
Erik for president!
If not Eric .....Then that 'Honest AI Being/Robot' Mike was describing the last 60 sec of the interview is who we want for President...
Ole' Honest AI (Abe)🤣
Anything Vorhees is part of has my full endorsement
Great interview, definitely will try venice
Without government and private charity, there were cultural norms to curtail drug use, single motherhood, etc. With an unlimited safety net, these norms leave. It's no different from bank bailouts. Unlimited safety nets change culture.
Loved this!
If you halve the government, you also default on half of the debt and halve taxes, people need financial room to get private initiatives going
spot on!! We need to focus on our virtues and create our own BTC ecosystem :)
Crazy idea... Before Erik comes on your Bitcoin podcast to promote his Venice AI platform that accepts crypto... ...Ask him to enable payments for a Venice subscription, via the Lightning Network instead of us having to figure out which shitcoin wallet to use to pay for the service
if they dont take lightning might as well use a cash back credit card.
When I saw Erik i clicked Fast!! 💯
Inability to tolerate rude jokes is not paternalistic, it's maternalistic. Excessive stifling compassion
True, Slow and steady is hardly realized.
You could mention Bitcoin and AI in all podcasts. It probably trends well
“Humans cannot create a system without bias”
except Bitcoin
Eric has been working out!
1:09:48 This is a classic What Bitcoin Did podcast. Great guest, great points, discussion that you can't get elsewhere and then Peter says something extremely ignorant that turns me off

i wish i had a friend like f' Erik Voorhees
nice chain on Eric ✝
I've never known a skinny hungry nurse
Cancel this podcast he brought on someone who's intelligent enough to realize there's good tech outside of just Bitcoin!!!!
Have you tried speaking to Gary Stevenson? He needs Orange pilling, but has a wonderful grasp of economics and the theft that is going on
He needs orange pilling but I don't know if interviewing him will help. You gotta put in the study to get orange pilled.
He is focused way too much on increasing tax on the rich. I find it strange how someone with so much knowledge came to that conclusion
1:13:45
This is the test to me.
does he push agents using bitcoin?
will he discuss the clockspeed issue if he is going to paint a picture of agent to agent smart contracts and agent to agent payments??
>why the fuck would an agent with a clockspeed that would make our world seem frozen in time?

//solana would be glacial to agents
:: if a blockchain would be utilized that would be the substrate for agent to agent contracts and transactions it would need to be waaaaay faster than anything that exists now. such a blockchain would most likely be developed by an AGI.
remember
your organic mind is so slow we would seem like plants to an ai agent. our instant settlement is there endless wait
and thinking an agent-that is optimizing for efficiency
-would touch a ten minute block settlement-or some janky layer upon layer tower of bullshit built on bitcoin-is foolish and anyone who pushes the idea might have a project they are selling you
