Josh recovered a life-changing stack of Bitcoin he had held since 2010, then turned to analyzing Bitcoin Core as an informal oligarchy, running a full-chain analysis of BIP-110 across more than 900,000 blocks and building selective synchronization so node runners can skip non-monetary data. The conversation covers self-custody, consensus specification, mining decentralization, the spam debate, and a commons-based governance model drawn from Ostrom and the Hanseatic League aimed at keeping Bitcoin sound money.
