In today’s episode, we cover BIP-110 and fill you in on the background so you can understand why Bitcoin Knots sucks. We also talk about how projects should react to exploits, and what Monero could do if developers found an inflation bug. Finally, we cover Coldcards. Was it an inside job? Probably not.

In the second episode of the .thedotfiles, we speak with David Z Morris, a talented independent journalist who specializes in investigating cryptocurrency and fraud. His recently released debut book, Stealing the Future, is a well-researched overview of the FTX scandal, and how it’s architect Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), was influenced by questionable philosophical and social movements that have become popular among tech-elites. We also discuss the growing concerns of Michael Saylor’s ponzinomics, as well as the groundbreaking Tornado Cash case involving Roman Storm, whose future retrial could have immense cooling effects for free and open source software developers around the world.
