Jameson Lopp: Bitcoin Covenants, OP_VAULT, Upgrade vs. Ossification & Casa Changes
Bitcoin Rapid-FireShow Notes
Jameson Lopp is a technologist who has been involved in the bitcoin space for over 10 years. He has worked at bitcoin companies, created and contributed to several educational resources, and co-founded Casa, a service which helps customers self-custody their bitcoin. Jameson recently hit me up, asking if I'd be interested in a discussion about 'bitcoin covenants'. While I tend to focus more on the 'personal', 'cultural', or 'philosophical' aspects and implications of bitcoin, I am still quite interested in what's happening in the technical department, and even more so about how different people think about the appropriate approach or process to making upgrades to bitcoin. It seemed to be like Jameson would be a great person to have this discussion with, and I was interested in hearing more about his background generally, so we set it up. Enjoy! ---

The Hodl Hang crew is back together for another session.
In this show, I sit down with three of my friends to get an update on the emerging bitcoin 'circular economy' in Madeira, Portugal (where they are all now living), as well as to discuss the upcoming 'Bitcoin Atlantis' conference happening there in March 2024.
Every now and then, this crew gets together to discuss the current macroeconomic situation, and of course, the role that bitcoin is playing within it.
Health has been central to my life for more than 20 years, so it's been fascinating (and surprising) to observe the impact which learning about and adopting bitcoin seems to be having on how people approach their diet, fitness, and many other aspects of well-being.
