"An argument for doing a consensus cleanup soft-fork first, prior to enabling any new opcodes or other features for new types of L2\u2019s, is that we\u2019d learn more about how willing the wider community is to implement what should be a relatively uncontroversial soft-fork that arguably benefits everyone." \u2014 Peter Todd\nIn this deep dive into Bitcoin's Layer 2 solutions, we explore Peter Todd's comprehensive analysis of soft fork and covenant proposals. What are the trade-offs between different scaling solutions like CTV, OP_CAT, and SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT? How might these changes impact Bitcoin's future, and what path forward offers the best balance of innovation and security? Join us as we unravel the complexities of Bitcoin's potential upgrades and their implications for the network's scalability and functionality.\nLinks to check out\n\nSoft-Fork/Covenant Dependent Layer 2 Review (Link:\xa0https://tinyurl.com/bdey68v4)\xa0\nPeter Todd on Nostr\xa0(Link:\xa0https://tinyurl.com/y5py725j)\xa0\n\nLinks to check out\n\nWhitney Webb & Mark Goodwin's research on the Bitcoin Dollar theory\nThe Bitcoin Reformation by Tuur Demeester\nLyn Alden's work on banking crises and global financial systems\nPreston Pysh's interview with Paolo Ardoino (Tether CTO)\nGuy's previous episode: "The Hard Truth"\nAI Unchained - Guy's other podcast on AI and technology\nNostr - decentralized social media platform\nPears.com\xa0\n\nHost Links\n\n\u2060Guy on Nostr \u2060(Link: http://tinyurl.com/2xc96ney)\n\u2060Guy on X \u2060(Link: https://twitter.com/theguyswann)\nGuy on Instagram (Link: https://www.instagram.com/theguyswann)\nGuy on TikTok (Link: https://www.tiktok.com/@theguyswann)\nGuy on YouTube (Link: https://www.youtube.com/@theguyswann)\n\u2060Bitcoin Audible on X\u2060 (Link: https://twitter.com/BitcoinAudible)\nThe Guy Swann Network Broadcast Room on Keet (Link: https://tinyurl.com/3na6v839)\n\nCheck out our awesome sponsors!\n\nGet \u20605% off the COLDCARD\u2060 with code BITCOINAUDIBLE \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060(Link: h...
