Bitcoin Needs a Crisis | Rob Wallace

Rob Wallace from Bitcoin News is not your typical Bitcoiner, this is a guy who spent four years living in Shanghai, bought his first 2.2 bitcoin at an ATM in 2016… only to have them stolen at a Las Vegas airport. We cover the macro chaos unfolding around us, why Eastern Europe might be civilization's last immune system, and what the Fourth Turning actually looks like from the inside. We dig deep into the corporate Bitcoin treasury mania: who's holding the line and who already blinked. Mainly, we discuss why the next wave of bitcoin adoption will come from a crisis.

Bitcoin Spam is Bad. So is BIP-110 | Giacomo Zucco

Giacomo Zucco joins Walker America to discuss Bitcoin spam, ordinals, inscriptions, Bitcoin Core, Core v30 / OP_RETURN, Knots, and why he thinks the BIP-110 soft fork will fail—and why that’s a problem. They break down the technical and political fight over spam filtering, consensus changes, and the future of Bitcoin nodes. Zucco argues that while spam is real, BIP-110 is the wrong solution—and its failure could damage the movement trying to fight it. Key Topics: • Plan B Lugano + the rise of Cypher Tank • Is Bitcoin Core compromised? • Bitcoin spam vs censorship: where’s the line? • Core v30 vs Knots: what’s really happening? • Why Giacomo thinks BIP-110 will fail • Would BIP-110 actually fix Bitcoin spam? • Ordinals and inscriptions • Should Bitcoin change consensus rules to fight spam? • Why Giacomo believes Layer 2s—not forks—solve the problem • What happens to Bitcoin if BIP-110 fails?

Nostr + Bitcoin vs AI Slop: The Fight for a Human Internet | Paul Keating

Walker sits down with Paul Keating from Primal to talk about where Nostr is three years after Nostrica, why adoption has been slower than the early hype suggested, and why that may have been a good thing. They explore Primal’s vision, creator onboarding, Bitcoin zaps as a native internet business model, circular Bitcoin economies like Bitcoin Jungle, the coming wave of Nostr apps that hide the protocol from end users, and why human-first, sovereignty-preserving social tools matter more than ever in an age of AI slop, algorithmic addiction, and centralized digital identity. Key topics discussed <ul> <li>How Nostr has matured since Nostrica and why the ecosystem is stronger now than during the first hype wave</li> <li>Primal’s roadmap, including polls, better creator tooling, smoother onboarding, and a broader vision for healthier social media</li> <li>Why Bitcoin zaps and Nostr create a fundamentally better creator economy than legacy platforms or “Web3” token schemes</li> <li>The real-world circular Bitcoin economy in Bitcoin Jungle and what it shows about living on a Bitcoin standard</li> <li>Why Nostr may become increasingly important as AI-generated slop, censorship, surveillance, and centralized identity systems accelerate</li> <li>DiVine vs AI Slop: Using proof-of-human posting to fight the rise of AI-generated content online.</li> </ul> FOLLOW PAUL: NOSTR: <a href="https://primal.net/paul">https://primal.net/paul</a> X: <a href="https://x.com/thepaulosophy">https://x.com/thepaulosophy</a> CHECK OUT: <a href="https://ownyourposts.com">https://ownyourposts.com</a> PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS: <ul> <li>LEDN: Bitcoin-backed lending.

Why Bitcoin Didn’t Go Parabolic (And What Comes Next) | Rational Root

Walker sits down with Rational Root for a deep dive into Bitcoin’s current market structure, bear market vibes, and why this cycle has felt so different, and whether the four-year cycle is still intact. Root argues Bitcoin is in a bear market phase, explains why institutional adoption and ETF flows created a more distributed top instead of a classic parabolic blow-off, and lays out why the next few months may look more like bottom formation than immediate breakout. They discuss the role of long-term holder distribution, why 100k became such a major psychological level, how business cycles and halving cycles interact, and why Bitcoin remains massively bullish long term even if price chops lower in the near term. Five key topics we discuss <ul> <li>Why Rational Root believes Bitcoin is currently in a bear market, not just a mid-cycle dip</li> <li>How ETF flows, OTC buying, and institutional adoption changed this cycle’s price action</li> <li>Why 100k became a major psychological sell zone for long-term holders and OG whales</li> <li>Whether the four-year cycle is still alive, and how much of it is really driven by the broader business/liquidity cycle</li> <li>Why Root remains extremely bullish long term even while expecting more chop and possible downside in the near term</li> </ul> FOLLOW ROOT: X: <a href="https://x.com/therationalroot">https://x.com/therationalroot</a> Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsphh4hcsk9trquc2rd0drwge9vh75rmaa43xru4ha74nyrld9emyg4vj6zg">https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsphh4hcsk9trquc2rd0drwge9vh75rmaa43xru4ha74nyrld9emyg4vj6zg</a> WEB: <a href="https://www.bitcoinstrategyplatform.com/">https://www.bitcoinstrategyplatform.com/</a> PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS: <ul> <li>LEDN: Bitcoin-backed lending.

Vibe Coding the Bitcoin Future: Nostr, AI Agents & Clawstr | Derek Ross and Alex Gleason

Walker goes live on Nostr with Alex Gleason (Soapbox) and Derek Ross to talk about the new AI + Nostr builder renaissance: why Nostr beats federated “decentralization”, how Alex accidentally ended up helping build Truth Social off the Mastodon stack, and why AI-first, permissionless app building is exploding. They break down Soapbox’s suite—Shakespeare (in-browser AI app builder), Agora (activist coordination + anti-blackout tooling), <a href="http://Treasures.to">Treasures.to</a> (real-world geocaching), plus the agent economy experiments: OpenClaw, Quilly, Moltbook, and Clawstr—where bots post, zap, and evolve personalities. They also dig into BitChat, Cashu, and more. The big takeaway: the barrier to building is basically gone—stop watching and start shipping.

Lyn Alden | The Bearish-Bullish Case for Bitcoin: Vibes, Quantum, Cycles, and Sci-Fi

Lyn Alden is back on THE Bitcoin Podcast to break down why this cycle left so many of us feeling like we should be more excited than we are. We get into why $126K, despite being a new all-time high, fell short of what the fundamentals suggested was possible, and what that tells us about where retail and sovereign demand actually stands. We also dig into the macro picture, the Fed, the new chair, Bitcoin vs Quantum narrative, AI as a deflationary force, why DOGE couldn't actually move the needle on government spending, and what geopolitical catalyst might finally wake the world up to Bitcoin. Plus, Lyn shares something completely new — her debut sci-fi novel, "The Stolguard incident" which is darker and more human than you'd expect, and honestly one of the best things I've read in years.

The Biggest Threat to Bitcoin | Jimmy Song

What's the biggest threat to Bitcoin? Is it Quantum? Developers? BIP110? Governments? Or something else entirely… In this episode, I sit down with Bitcoin OG Jimmy Song for a nuanced conversation about the state of Bitcoin development and governance. We dive into his 2011 origin story, unpack the store of value vs medium of exchange debate, and explore why he believes ossification is actually better for Bitcoin than constant protocol changes. Jimmy pulls no punches on Taproot's broken promises, explaining why the UX realities never materialized despite developer optimism. We dig deep into the BIP 110 soft fork controversy, the governance concerns around Bitcoin Core, and why he thinks young developers need more humility when dismissing community feedback.

21 Bitcoin Predictions for 2026 | Eric Yakes

In this episode, I chat with Eric Yakes, author and founder of Epoch Ventures, about his Epoch Ventures 2026 Bitcoin Ecosystem Report, covering 21 predictions for Bitcoin's evolution this year. We tackle Bitcoin's path to taking gold's market share, the rotation trade catalyst that could drive prices to $150K+, and how Bitcoiners are accidentally FUDing themselves with quantum computing concerns. The conversation also explores the failure of crypto's "fat protocol thesis," Bitcoin's growing mainstream media acceptance, and the rise of application-layer adoption through projects like chat.

The Beef Industry Is RIGGED – Bitcoiners are Fixing it | Tom Taber (Beef.com)

"The problem is that our beef industry is under attack and people don't realize that." In this episode of The Bitcoin Podcast, host Walker America sits down with Tom Taber, Executive Director of The Beef Initiative, to expose what they argue is a deeply broken, centralized, and captured beef industry — and to explain why food sovereignty may be as important as monetary sovereignty. Tom breaks down how government subsidies, USDA regulations, and corporate consolidation have created a system where a handful of processors control the majority of beef distribution, ranchers don’t set their own prices, and consumers are misled about the quality and origin of their food. The conversation explores how fiat incentives, regulatory capture, and data control have hollowed out rural America and put independent ranchers under extreme financial and psychological pressure. A major announcement anchors the episode: Texas Slim has acquired <a href="http://Beef.com">Beef.com</a>, positioning it as a “digital ranch” and open marketplace designed to protect rancher data, enable fair price discovery, and reconnect consumers directly with independent, regeneratively-raised beef producers. Walker and Tom also discuss El Salvador, where The Beef Initiative is working with local stakeholders to help rebuild the country’s beef industry from the ground up — including better cattle genetics, regenerative ranching practices, and the return of local micro-processing plants to restore food security after decades of instability.

Fear vs Freedom in Venezuela: Socialism, Hyperinflation & Bitcoin | Mauricio Di Bartolomeo

A firsthand account of Venezuela’s collapse under socialism—how fear, censorship, hyperinflation, and capital controls destroyed property rights—and why Bitcoin offers a path to real ownership, financial sovereignty, and freedom when institutions fail. In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America speaks with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo about Venezuela’s economic collapse, the Chaves and Maduro regimes, life under socialism, what Venezuelans really think about Trump taking out Maduro, and why removing a dictator does not instantly restore freedom. Drawing from firsthand experience, Mauricio explains how fear, censorship, capital controls, and the breakdown of property rights hollowed out Venezuela’s economy and drove mass migration. The conversation explores why capital flees first, how brain drain accelerates collapse, what El Salvador’s security turnaround under President Nayib Bukele teaches about rebuilding nations, and why Bitcoin matters as a form of real ownership in countries suffering from inflation, authoritarianism, and state control of money.

4chan Lawyer: How America Is Pushing Back Against UK & EU Censorship | Preston Byrne

Preston Byrne is a technology and free-speech lawyer who’s been on the front lines of a growing international battle over online speech. We dig into how governments in the UK, EU, and Australia are attempting to project their censorship regimes onto American companies, and why Preston is representing platforms like 4chan and Kiwi Farms in direct opposition to those efforts. We explore the UK’s Online Safety Act, the escalating push for age verification and VPN crackdowns, and why these laws pose a direct threat to the First Amendment. We also unpack the GRANITE Act, emerging U.S. political pushback, and what this all means for the future of free speech, privacy, Bitcoin culture, and the open internet. If you care about sovereignty, free expression, and why Americans are saying “come and take it” to foreign regulators, this episode is for you.

Freedom Tech vs the Surveillance State: White Noise, Bitcoin & Nostr | Jeff G

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America is joined by open-source developer Jeff G to explore the growing clash between freedom tech and the surveillance state. They discuss White Noise, a decentralized messaging app built on Bitcoin-adjacent cryptography and Nostr, and the Marmot protocol that enables secure, private communication without centralized choke points. The conversation expands into the broader implications of digital identity, metadata surveillance, AI-driven monitoring, and the shift from physical repression to financial and digital control. Together, they make the case for decentralized money, private speech, and open protocols as essential tools for preserving individual sovereignty in an increasingly monitored world.

The Internet of Money: Why Bitcoin Is the Future of Global Value Transfer | David Marcus

“If the internet could move value natively… would you use anything else?” I sit down with David Marcus, a true fintech veteran and the co-founder and CEO of Lightspark. You might know him from his time at PayPal, Meta where he led Messenger, or the ambitious Libra/Diem project. Now, he’s on a mission to build the open internet of money—on Bitcoin. We dive into David’s fascinating journey through startups, global payments, and Silicon Valley, before unpacking the philosophy and architecture behind Lightspark. We explore how Bitcoin is evolving beyond store of value into a global settlement layer, how Spark enables stablecoin issuance and self-custodial wallets on Bitcoin, and why compliance, scalability, and user experience are critical for mass adoption.

VIBE SHIFT: America's Identity, New Overton Window, & Bitcoin's Bull Case | Marty Bent

"I am incredibly, incredibly bullish right now." In this episode, I chat with Marty Bent, co-founder of TFTC, host of Rabbit Hole Recap, and one of the most clear-headed voices in Bitcoin media. We dig into the state of Bitcoin markets and why Marty remains deeply bullish despite volatility, before moving into a wide-ranging conversation on Nostr, live streaming, and the cultural shift toward open protocols. If you’re trying to understand how Bitcoin, family, culture, and politics all collide in this moment, and where optimism still makes sense, this episode is for you.

Why President Trump Should PARDON SAMOURAI | Keonne Rodriguez of Samourai Wallet

Today I talk with Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Samourai Wallet, who is set to report to prison on December 19 unless he gets a pardon from President Trump… In April 2024, two Bitcoin software developers, Keonne Rodriguez and William "Bill" Lonergan Hill, were violently arrested in their homes in a pre-dawn militarized raid by the FBI for running Samourai Wallet—a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet—despite no prior warnings and full compliance with the law as they and their advisors understood it.

Keonne was sentenced on November 6, 2025, to the maximum five years in prison, plus an additional fine of $250,000, plus three years of supervised release. Bill was sentenced to four years in prison on November 19, 2025. He will also be responsible for a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release. Both men are facing serious time in jail for writing code that supported the privacy and security of Bitcoin users. This case exemplifies DOJ overreach through a dangerous legal theory that criminalizes open-source code for legitimate privacy purposes.

Self-Custody, Nostr, & Building the Bitcoin Future | Alex McShane

"Our government is very, very corrupt. That's why we're here." In this episode, I chat with Alex McShane, a longtime Bitcoin builder, events producer, and deep thinker on everything from protocol development to the culture wars within Bitcoin. We dive into the reality of self-custody and the problems with deceptive hardware wallet marketing. We also explore the rise of open-source funding models and Nostr’s challenges with product-market fit. Alex opens up about his background running massive conferences, his early work with Bitcoin Magazine, and his thoughts on whether the Bitcoin space is heading toward real progress or just creating echo chambers of underutilized tools.

Bitcoin: The Infinite Game & The Price of Everything | Jeff Booth

“If you’re measuring Bitcoin in dollars, you haven’t left the matrix yet.” In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down once again with Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow and co-founder of Ego Death Capital, for a deep dive into the real state of the world: – Why the natural state of a free market is deflation – How fiat money, credit crises and “liquidity tightening” create the illusion that Bitcoin is failing – Why nothing has changed in Bitcoin… and everything has changed in the legacy system Jeff explains why he left Canada, what he sees coming next (capital controls, higher taxes, more surveillance), and why countries like El Salvador and leaders like Bukele are so important in this moment. We talk about the on-the-ground reality in El Salvador, the Bitcoin Historico event, and why teaching kids to self-custody and use Bitcoin is the most “anti-dictator” move a government can make. We also dig into Fedi / Fedimint, community-based Bitcoin custody and private messaging, and why tools like Fedi + Nostr are mandatory if you want to keep your money and communications out of the coming AI-powered surveillance dragnet.

Libertarian Kingmakers, Lawfare, and the Fight for Bitcoin Prisoners | Angela McArdle

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America talks with Angela McArdle—Chair of the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus and former Chair of the Libertarian National Party—about her path from local civil-liberties activism in Los Angeles to high-level federal political influence, including her pivotal role in negotiating Ross Ulbricht’s presidential pardon. Angela outlines her strategy for transforming the Libertarian Party from a spoiler into a “kingmaker” that leverages ballot access and voter blocs to secure policy concessions and cabinet roles from major candidates. She also details her ongoing work to fight escalating “lawfare” against Bitcoin developers—Samurai Wallet, Tornado Cash, Bitcoin Fog, and Ian Freeman—arguing these prosecutions target free speech and financial privacy. The discussion highlights Bitcoin’s importance in countering federal overreach, the need to expand Bitcoin adoption across both political tribes (not just the right), and why local political victories are often the most impactful. Angela concludes that individuals must actively take back their freedom—and that a determined 1% of the population can change history.

River CEO/CTO Alex Leishman breaks down what it's like to build a Bitcoin bank, why Bitcoin saves western civilization, and what Bitcoin means for America.

BITCOIN OR SLAVERY | Nico Moran from Simply Bitcoin

"I still think that there's enormous upside left. I truly believe we're going to hit 10, 20 million dollars per coin… I'm going to be buying Bitcoin at ten million dollars per coin because where else are you going to park your wealth?"

BITCOIN & NOSTR, FASCISM & COMMUNISM, FREEDOM & FATHERHOOD | ALEKS SVETSKI

"Bitcoin is not a f***ing iPhone. It's not going to just follow the same adoption curve that every other technology before it. Bitcoin is a techno-socioeconomic phenomenon… the downside of me being wrong about an iPhone is a thousand dollars. The downside of me being wrong about Bitcoin is my entire wealth." In this conversation, Walker and Aleks Svetski discuss the profound changes in their lives, particularly with Svetski becoming a father. They explore the shifting political landscape, the role of the state, and the nature of violence in society. The discussion then transitions to the current state of Nostr, a decentralized social protocol, and the challenges it faces in gaining traction compared to other platforms. They conclude by examining the differences between social media and social networks, emphasizing the need for a compelling reason for users to migrate to new platforms.

BITCOIN ALL TIME HIGH LIVESTREAM / RANTS ABOUT COMMUNISM

I LIVE STREAMED LAST NIGHT AS BITCOIN MADE NEW ALL TIME HIGHS. I TALKED ABOUT BITCOIN AND THE MCRIB PRICE INDICATOR BUT ALSO RANTED ABOUT COMMUNISM A LOT. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ZAPPED ME SATS ON NOSTR. HERE'S HOW AI SUMMARIZED THE EPISODE: In this solo live stream, Walker America from The Bitcoin Podcast shares his thoughts on Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs, the state of the fiat currency system, the importance of Bitcoin adoption, and various societal and philosophical topics. Key Topics: <ul> <li>Bitcoin price and all-time highs</li> <li>Fiat currency system and inflation</li> <li>Bitcoin adoption and its impact on society</li> <li>Political and societal commentary</li> <li>Personal reflections on family, priorities, and Bitcoin</li> </ul> Summary: Walker America begins by discussing Bitcoin's price, noting the excitement around reaching new all-time highs in fiat currency terms. He reflects on how he and his wife Carla missed the early days of Bitcoin, having ignored it until 2020, and shares an embarrassing story about buying Litecoin because he didn't realize you could buy a fraction of Bitcoin. He emphasizes the importance of staying humble and remembering that everyone starts from a point of zero knowledge. He expresses his dislike for focusing solely on price but acknowledges the fun in seeing the number go up. He critiques the fiat currency system, comparing the US dollar to the "skinniest kid at fat camp" and admiring those who run businesses in hyperinflationary environments like Turkey. Walker shares his admiration for the Turkish people who continue to produce value despite brutal inflation. He also discusses the McRib indicator as a fun technical analysis tool, highlighting the correlation between the return of the McRib and Bitcoin pumps. Walker delves into the importance of NGU (number go up) for Bitcoin adoption, noting that it attracts more people to the network. He recounts a story of a song his wife wrote when Bitcoin was at $19,000, highlighting the significant difference in price compared to the current value. He emphasizes that while price is fun, it's just a made-up imaginary number and the underlying technology and principles of Bitcoin are what truly matter. He brings up the concept that NGU is a Trojan horse for FGU (freedom go up). The conversation transitions to a discussion on the importance of Bitcoin for saving and protecting wealth, particularly in countries with unstable currencies. He emphasizes that Bitcoin is the true measuring stick, exposing the debasement of fiat currencies like the Turkish lira. Walker also touches on the importance of saving in Bitcoin, particularly for young parents trying to balance work and family life. He discusses that most people will be approached when Bitcoin is pumping, and that those people who took action early deserve the benefits. Walker then shifts to a more philosophical discussion, sharing his theory of a "super cycle" convergence, including the fourth turning, economic cycles, and debt cycles. He credits Jeff Booth for the idea that Bitcoin breaks the cycle of repeated societal and economic collapses. He emphasizes that Bitcoin offers a chance to build a different kind of world with aligned incentives and greater individual freedom. He expresses his hope for a future where Bitcoin is ubiquitous and the money is no longer controlled by a central group of people. Walker criticizes communism, advocating for ridicule of communists and stating that the ideology has caused more harm than Nazism. He highlights the importance of homeschooling, linking mandatory public education to totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany. He also argues that if you hate homeschooling, then you have the same views as the Nazis on homeschooling. He discusses the concept of financial privilege and how people from financially privileged nations that grok Bitcoin do so by choice rather than by force. He ends by stating that the natural state of the free market is deflationary due to the advancement of technology. He states that people are working for something a cartel of unelected bankers are creating out of thin air. Walker emphasizes the importance of being grateful for Bitcoin and using it to build a better future. He encourages listeners to start Bitcoin podcasts, recognizing the potential to change lives.

The Man in the Studio: How Podcasters Change the World | Rod Palmer & Richard Greaser (Bitcoin Bugle)

"If you want to make a difference, you need to start a podcast." Walker America sits down with Richard Greaser and Rod Palmer of the Bitcoin Bugle for a fast, funny, and surprisingly earnest tour of Bitcoin culture—why podcasting is the best truth-delivery mechanism we’ve got, how to respect your audience’s scarce time, and what ethical monetization actually looks like (yes, even “Bitcoin QVC” for boomers—value first, no pleb-fleecing). Along the way they unpack vibes as a real coordination signal (and why public vibe checks matter), defend satire as journalism that cuts through cognitive dissonance, and challenge listeners to stop lurking and ship 21 episodes of their own show. From gear and production realities to collaboration and signal-boosting high-quality creators, the trio maps out a circular Bitcoin media economy—and shows how play (D&D, cosplay, comics) can be a stealth orange-pill without the preachiness. If you care about sound money, free speech, and building culture that lasts, this one’s equal parts laughs, tactics, and a kick in the pants to start creating.

KNOTS OR CORE, WE ARE ALL BITCOINERS | Michael Tidwell

"Your relay policy doesn't make you a different Bitcoiner. Your consensus policy mainly does." In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America is joined by Michael Tidwell — co-founder of TABConf and host of the BlockTime podcast. Together they dive into Bitcoin’s latest debates, the philosophy of what really defines Bitcoin, and why high-signal conferences like TABConf matter for the future of freedom tech. From the history of Bitcoin meetups in Atlanta, to the block size wars, to today’s controversies around Bitcoin Core v30 vs Knots, and user-activated soft forks (UASF), Tidwell brings a unique perspective on education, game theory, and Bitcoin’s resilience. The conversation also covers Nostr, Meshtastic mesh networks, the importance of economic nodes, and why transparency and experimentation are essential to Bitcoin’s immune system. If you care about Bitcoin’s future, self-sovereignty, and the culture wars shaping the protocol, this one’s a must-listen.

BITCOIN: WHAT THE F**K ELSE DO YOU NEED? | George Bodine

"I cannot tell you how important it is for people to start thinking about self-custody and getting their own Bitcoin, getting it off exchanges, holding it yourself, becoming a sovereign individual, memorizing 12 words. And when the world goes to shit, you can just go across any border, take all your wealth with you." Artist and Ex-Navy fighter pilot George “Jethroe” Bodine joins Walker America again on THE Bitcoin Podcast for a fiery and unfiltered conversation about the future of money, power, and freedom. From liquidating everything to go all-in on Bitcoin, to warning about the coming convergence of global cycles, George explains why the next 3–5 years will be absolute chaos — and why Bitcoin is the only real way out. We cover: <ul> <li>The broken fiat system and secular inflation</li> <li>Bitcoin as a secure store of value</li> <li>Self-custody, sovereignty, and crossing borders with Bitcoin</li> <li>Bitcoin adoption, treasury companies, and ETFs</li> <li>Investment strategies: DCA vs. smash buying</li> <li>Why Bitcoin is superior to Gold</li> <li>Sound money history</li> </ul> FOLLOW GEORGE: X: <a href="https://x.com/Jethroe111">https://x.com/Jethroe111</a> Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/p/npub1gn78cjuef74m9ksh4j8r6h5d7m7d79est9khup7nwthqj8e7zjuq3jy5zs">https://primal.net/p/npub1gn78cjuef74m9ksh4j8r6h5d7m7d79est9khup7nwthqj8e7zjuq3jy5zs</a> If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following: FOLLOW ME (Walker) on <a href="https://twitter.com/WalkerAmerica">@WalkerAmerica on X</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/TitcoinPodcast">@TitcoinPodcast on X</a> | <a href="https://primal.net/walker">Nostr Personal (walker)</a> | <a href="https://primal.net/p/npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8">Nostr Podcast (Titcoin)</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/titcoinpodcast/">Instagram</a> Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on <a href="https://www.fountain.fm/show/68gcLZFDRxOzgGeZmXq6">Fountain</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@walkerAmerica">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0f4Ke6gRTiLij0455nQjPH">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://rumble.com/user/WalkerAmerica">Rumble</a> | <a href="https://bitcoinpodcast.net/podcast">EVERYWHERE ELSE</a> ***** THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners: > <a href="http://bitbox.swiss/walker">http://bitbox.swiss/walker</a> -- use promo code WALKER for 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet. > Buy Bitcoin with River: <a href="http://partner.river.com/walker">http://partner.river.com/walker</a> > GET FOLD ($10 in bitcoin): <a href="https://use.foldapp.com/r/WALKER">https://use.foldapp.com/r/WALKER</a>

From Coffeehouses to Cyberspace: How Bitcoin Fixes Insurance | Aaron Daniel

"There is nothing stronger than Bitcoin when it comes to preserving property. It's the end all be all right now of property rights." In this episode of The Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America interviews Aaron Daniel about Bitcoin, insurance, and open-source freedom tech legal issues. Key Topics: <ul> <li>Bitcoin's role in property rights</li> <li>Bitcoin insurance and Resolvr</li> <li>Bitcoin's role as a stimulant for commerce</li> <li>The Roman Sterlingov case and chain analysis</li> </ul> Bitcoin meets insurance, payments, and privacy. Walker sits down with appellate attorney and Resolvr founder Aaron Daniel to unpack how Resolvr is building BDIC (Bitcoin-Denominated Insurance Collaborative)—a marketplace that embeds sat-denominated coverage directly into wallets, collaborative custody, and (eventually) exchanges. They compare BDIC to FDIC, dig into Lightning-settled premium flows via Resolvr’s Premium Manager, and explain why matching BTC risks with BTC liabilities matters for miners, custodians, and everyday HODLers. Aaron also traces the surprising coffeehouse origins of insurance → Lloyd’s of London, argues why insurers should roll out the red carpet to Bitcoin rails, and outlines adoption timing (innovators → early adopters). In the back half, he breaks down the Roman Sterlingov / Bitcoin Fog appeal and the dangers of black-box forensics (Chainalysis, ShotSpotter, proprietary DNA tools), making the case for open-source evidence in a just system.

THE BIG PRINT IS COMING: DOLLAR = TITANIC, BITCOIN = LIFEBOAT | Lawrence Lepard

"It comes back to that basic understanding that a monetary unit of fixed supply did not exist before Bitcoin. That's the key. That's the insight people need to get their heads around" LISTEN TO "THE BIG PRINT": <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Big-Print-Audiobook/B0F2NBRB4Q">https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Big-Print-Audiobook/B0F2NBRB4Q</a> In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America is joined by legendary investor and sound money advocate Lawrence “Larry” Lepard to break down the global macro storm that’s unfolding right now. Larry explains why the U.S. is trapped in a debt doom loop, how shadow yield curve control signals stealth money printing, and why inflation is set to roar back harder in 2025. We dive into the national debt passing $37 trillion, M2 growth, bond yields, and why fiat currencies everywhere are failing faster than most people realize. Larry also unpacks the historical patterns of gold leading inflation waves while Bitcoin follows with explosive gains, and why Bitcoin’s fixed supply makes it the ultimate hedge against monetary debasement. Together, Walker and Larry connect the dots between the Fourth Turning, long-term debt cycles, political instability, AI, and Bitcoin—showing how all cycles are converging toward a historic reset. If you want to understand why Larry Lepard believes Bitcoin and gold are the lifeboats in a sinking fiat Titanic—and why this decade could bring the biggest wealth transfer in history—this is a must-watch. What you’ll learn: - Why U.S. debt and deficits guarantee higher inflation ahead - How M2 growth, bond yields, and Fed/Treasury actions reveal the truth - Why Bitcoin and gold are the best protection in the coming reset - How the Fourth Turning, anacyclosis, and debt cycles converge with Bitcoin - Larry’s price outlook for gold ($4,000) and Bitcoin ($140k+) by end of 2025 - Why “nothing stops this train”—and how to prepare your family.

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk | American Hodl, Erik Cason, Guy Swann

"This is the time for bravery. It's the time for courage. It's the time for more speech. It's the time to self-censor even less because it's too important." A raw, urgent round-table with American HODL, Eric Cason, and Guy Swann on the cultural fracture following the killing of Charlie Kirk—and why speech, not violence, is the only way out. The crew wrestles with grief and anger, the “banality of evil,” media incentives, and why debate on campus matters. Then they pivot to Bitcoin as a non-violent, property-rights-based “third way”: a cultural exit from nihilism and the fiat feedback loop that funds endless political escalation. You’ll hear Gerard, Foucault, and Fourth Turning riffs alongside practical calls for courage, organizing, and orange-pilling your local community. Heavy, hopeful, and very human.

BITCOIN CORE VS KNOTS, SPAM VS FILTERS, QUANTUM THREATS, & SOCIAL ENGINEERING | Jameson Lopp

"If we ever get to the point where nobody's arguing about Bitcoin, I would be afraid that that's because nobody cares anymore and Bitcoin is actually dead or dying." In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Bitcoin technologist Jameson Lopp (Casa co-founder & CSO) joins Walker America to cut through today’s Bitcoin noise: filter wars, spam on Bitcoin, standardness vs. consensus, the real risks (social engineering vs wrench attacks), and how to actually secure generational wealth with family multi-sig. We also dive into the quantum computing threat—timelines, soft-fork options, migration game theory, and why coordination (not cryptography alone) will be the hard part. Plus: culture/politics, ossification, and how debates keep Bitcoin antifragile.

CHOPSOLIDATION MAKE BITCOIN NUMBER GO UP | James Check (Checkmate)

"[Bitcoin has] proven that we're now a $2 trillion asset. The next move is $3 trillion. And if we go through another 12 months of sideways, the next stop is $4 trillion." Bitcoin at $110k+ and people are still bearish? In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down with on-chain and macro Bitcoin analyst James Check (Checkmate) to unpack why vibes feel weird despite a roaring market. From “chop-solidation” (boring sideways that sets up face-melting moves) to how ETF flows, IBIT options, MSTR, and OG whale supply actually work, Checkmate explains why massive demand can hide in plain sight—and why DCA + patience still beats most “clever” trades. They also discuss Bitcoin Treasury Companies, MNAV premiums, why most “proxy plays” behave like levered, timing-sensitive trades, and why just owning spot BTC usually wins.

HOW TO ESCAPE HYPERINFLATION & SHORT FIAT WITH BITCOIN | Mauricio Di Bartolomeo

“If Bitcoin does what we believe it's gonna do, what else do you need?” In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast with Walker America, Venezuelan-born Bitcoiner and Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo joins Walker America to tell the wild, true story of how hyperinflation and authoritarian crackdowns forced his family to rely on Bitcoin—mining in Venezuela, dodging extortion, and escaping with their savings secured by a hardware wallet. We unpack Bitcoin-backed loans, proof-of-reserves, why many lenders collapsed in 2022 (and why Ledn didn’t), plus the new regulatory vibe shift (Fannie/Freddie asset recognition, “super-app” frameworks) and how banks will collide with Bitcoin-native finance.

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down with Damus app creator Will Casarin (JB55) to explore the future of building on Nostr, the role of Bitcoin as freedom tech, and the global fight against censorship and government overreach. From unpacking the UK’s Online Safety Act to examining the rise of Zap commerce, they dive into how Nostr enables censorship-resistant apps, community-driven growth, and authentic content creation.
