The Spiritual War for Bitcoin | American HODL, Erik Cason & Marty Bent

<p>Marty Bent is the Founder of TFTC and Managing Partner at Ten31, Erik Cason is the Co-Founder of Vora, and American HODL is… American HODL. </p> <p>In this Bitcoin Whitepaper Day special, marking 17 years since Satoshi published the paper that changed the world, the three reflect on Bitcoin’s wild evolution from a fringe internet experiment to a $2 trillion, geopolitically relevant asset. We discuss how Bitcoin can free society from financial decay, why the future risks sliding into either communism or fascism, and why Bitcoiners must walk the narrow middle path to preserve individual sovereignty. </p> <p>We get into the Trojan horse of institutional adoption, the spiritual war at the heart of money, and what it means to build in an age of surveillance.</p> <p><strong>THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.iren.com/"><strong>IREN</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://river.com/wbd"><strong>RIVER</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.anchorwatch.com/"><strong>ANCHORWATCH</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/wbd"><strong>BLOCKWARE</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://ledn.io/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=partnership&utm_campaign=2025_whatbitcoindid&utm_content=ad_read"><strong>LEDN</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://bitkey.world/"><strong>BITKEY</strong></a></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW:</strong></p> <p>Danny Knowles: <a href="https://x.com/%5C_DannyKnowles">https://x.com/\_DannyKnowles</a> or <a href="https://primal.net/danny">https://primal.net/danny</a></p> <p>American HODL: <a href="https://x.com/americanhodl8">https://x.com/americanhodl8</a> or <a href="https://primal.net/hodl">https://primal.net/hodl</a> </p> <p>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> </p> <p>Marty Bent: <a href="https://x.com/MartyBent">https://x.com/MartyBent</a> or <a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p>
