The Number Zero and Bitcoin | Episode 4 | (WiM306)

Many believe that Bitcoin is “just one of thousands of cryptoassets”—this is true in the same way that the number zero is just one of an infinite series of numbers. In reality, Bitcoin is special, and so is zero: each is an invention which led to a discovery that fundamentally reshaped its overarching system—for Bitcoin, that system is money, and for zero, it is mathematics. Since money and math are mankind’s two universal languages, both Bitcoin and zero are critical constructs for civilization. In this series, we explore Breedlove’s written work: “The Number Zero and Bitcoin.” Article: https://breedlove22.medium.com/the-number-zero-and-bitcoin-4c193336db5b// SPONSORS // In Wolf's Clothing: https://wolfnyc.com/iCoin Hardware Wallet (use discount code BITCOIN23): https://www.icointechnology.com/CrowdHealth: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/breedloveWasabi Wallet: https://wasabiwallet.io/Join Me At Bitcoin 2023 in Miami (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://b.tc/conference/Casa (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://keys.casa/Bitcoin Apparel (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://thebitcoinclothingcompany.com/ Feel Free Tonics (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://botanictonics.comCarnivore Bar (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://carnivorebar.com/ // OUTLINE // 00:00:00 - Coming up 00:01:04 - Intro 00:02:37 - Helping Lightning Startups With In Wolf's Clothing 00:03:23 - Practical Utility Outweighed Ideological Resistance 00:04:41 - The Number Zero was Influential in Wealth Creation and Math Development 00:08:33 - The Hindu-Arabic Numeral System vs. the Abacus 00:12:11 - The Emergence of the Number Zero Initiated a Technological Revolution 00:13:50 - The History of Resistance against the Number Zero 00:15:04 - How Zero was Incorporated into Encryption Systems 00:17:20 - The Artistic Influence of the Number Zero 00:20:11 - The Singularity of the Number Zero 00:22:57 - Secure Your Bitcoin Stash with the iCoin Hardware Wallet 00:23:54 - Take Control of Your Healthcare with CrowdHealth 00:24:56 - A Bitcoin Wallet with Privacy Built-In: Wasabi Wallet 00:25:47 - A Creation that Persists with Time 00:27:22 - Why the Number Zero and Bitcoin are the Cornerstones of the Digital Age 00:31:31 - Digital Tools that are Dependent on the Existence of Zero 00:34:46 - Limitations of the Physical Gold-Based Currency 00:38:17 - The Pyramid Scheme of the Fiat Currency Paradigm 00:42:31 - Bitcoin is a Solution with Absolute Scarcity 00:46:34 - The Absolute Similarities of the Number Zero and Bitcoin 00:47:53 - A Chance to Win Discounted Tickets to the Bitcoin 2023 Conference and 10M SATS 00:48:48 - Hold Bitcoin in the Most Secure Custody Model with Casa 00:49:37 - The Scarcity of Time and Bitcoin 00:52:38 - The Path Dependence of Bitcoin 00:54:20 - The Concept of the Push-Pull Method 00:56:13 - Bitcoin is a ‘One in a Lifetime’ Technology 00:59:09 - How Bitcoin Defeated Bitcoin Cash and Proved its Ability to Resist Disruption 01:05:27 - The Mechanism of Bitcoin Forks and Their Impact on Market Stability 01:08:14 - The Network Effects and Stability of Bitcoin 01:11:02 - Bitcoin is an Independent Life Form// PODCAST //Podcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8...RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYI// SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Bitcoin: 3D1gfxKZKMtfWaD1bkwiR6JsDzu6e9bZQ7 Sats via Strike: https://strike.me/breedlove22Sats via Tippin.me: https://tippin.me/@Breedlove22Dollars via Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RBreedloveDollars via Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Breedlove-2The "What is Money?"
