Episode #59: Yanis Varoufakis

On today’s show I travel all the way to the beautiful island of Greece to speak with finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. Yanis sets us straight about the history of economics and about how some of the old models we hold onto need to be left behind as we open our minds to new paradigms and new freedoms for all people.

Episode #59: Yanis Varufakis

Die For Me (feat. @lovekyle & @Christoph-Andersson)

Produced by @Christoph-Andersson
Mixed by @KDEProductions & @bradley-denniston
Mastered by Glenn Schick 
Art by Samm McAlear

LYRICS:

[Intro: Kyle]
Yeah
Would you die for, die for, die for me
Got that twinkle in your eye for me

[Verse 1: Marty Grimes]
I met her at a show some time ago
She was at the bar drunk with her two friends
I looked in her eyes and I let her know
Really I'm just fucked up as you is
Next thing you know I'm taking flights
Every weekend to her city for another night
Not knowing what to call it but just living life
We was loving it
Not even worried 'bout no other shit
She told me she was falling fast pretty quick
So I had to ask when she walked in

[Hook: Kyle] x2
I'm just saying would you die for me
I'm staring at you seeing that you got that
Twinkle in your eye for me
Never hold back show me that you gon' ride for me
Never lie to me, I'm just saying would you die for me
Would you die for me, would you die for me

[Verse 2: Marty Grimes]
Not even tripping she stay persistent and keeps me lifted
Flew to Cali cause we were tired of all the distance
God as my witness man she bad as hell
I be walking down the street these niggas mad as hell
Like nah, nah he ain't do it yeah I did it
See I found her at the start tryna take her to the finish
If I'm gone for a minute would you hold me down
If I needed you to tell me would you show me how
Different city new girls at another show
I see you tryna get the crown but I gotta know
If you down to roll, cuz fame come and go
Yeah I'm asking everything and a little more
But being perfect isn't something that you gotta do
Cause if you're rough around the edges I can polish you
I'm tryna make it to my moms while we're driving too
But first we gotta make a stop or two

[Hook]

[Bridge: Christoph Andersson]
Once was not enough for me
Believe me just forget the past tonight
It's getting hard for me to sleep
Just keep me up and you'll be here tonight
I'll lie and say that I don't need you
Saying things that I don't mean to
It's obvious that you can feel me now
I wanted you to know so...

[Hook]

Since Gavin Andresen's proposal to increase the Bitcoin block size, how Bitcoin can scale to accommodate higher transaction volumes has been heatedly debated among developers. One of the most promising long-term options to allow near infinite scalability is the Lightning Network. Joseph Poon and Tadge Dryja, the co-authors of the whitepaper, joined us for a discussion of scalability and how the lightning network could allow massive numbers of off-chain transaction in a trustless way.

Topics covered included:
- Why Bitcoin has a scalability problem
- How payment channels work and the architecture of the Lightning Network
- Why the Lightning Network would still require a block size increase
- How transaction fees would work in the Lightning Network
- How the Bitcoin blockchain would take on a court-like function to ensure honest off-chain behavior
- The risks and downsides to the Lightning Network
