They discuss Production Ready’s “Third Way,” why Google’s quantum labs operate on hype-based incentives, and the engineering reality preventing cryptographic threats. The conversation covers Core v30 feedback loops, the folly of fear-based protocol changes like BIP-361, and why market “death narratives” often precede bull runs. Essential viewing for anyone serious about understanding Bitcoin’s true security and governance.
