Show Notes

<p>Erik Cason is the author of Cryptosovereignty & co-founder of Vora. Jesse Posner is a an engineer, formally at Coinbase and BitKey & the co-founder of Vora.</p> <p>In this episode, we discuss why Erik and Jesse believe the modern state has already collapsed, why Bitcoin is the only shot at reclaiming sovereignty in the digital age and how philosophy, law, and cryptography intersect.</p> <p>We also get into the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies and how this growing financialization of Bitcoin could lead to a liquidity crisis and reflexive market crash. Finally, we talk about building tools for freedom, the founding ethos of Vora, and why the fight for privacy in both money and AI is a civilizational imperative.</p> <p>THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS: IREN: <a href="https://www.iren.com/">https://www.iren.com/</a> RIVER: <a href="https://river.com/wbd">https://river.com/wbd</a> ANCHORWATCH: <a href="https://www.anchorwatch.com/">https://www.anchorwatch.com/</a> BLOCKWARE: <a href="https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/wbd">https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/wbd</a> </p> <p>Follow: Danny Knowles: <a href="https://x.com/_DannyKnowles">https://x.com/_DannyKnowles</a> or <a href="https://primal.net/danny">https://primal.net/danny</a> Erik Cason: <a href="https://x.com/Erikcason">https://x.com/Erikcason</a> or <a href="https://primal.net/erikcason">https://primal.net/erikcason</a> Jesse Posner: <a href="https://x.com/jesseposner">https://x.com/jesseposner</a></p>
