    Dive into a candid conversation with William Casarin, founder of Damus and core Nostr builder, as he breaks down how decentralized protocols and Bitcoin are rewriting the rules of social media.

    Bitcoin, Gold, and the Next Thousand Years of Money with Stewart: From Fiat Failure to the Bitcoin Standard

    Bitcoin, Gold, and the Thousand Year Standard with Stewart from Sat Chats Humanity spent millennia anchored to gold, then lurched into a brief and chaotic fiat experiment. In this episode of The Web3 Prof Podcast, Stewart from Sat Chats joins to explore why sound money mattered for ancient societies, how fiat veered us off course, and why Bitcoin may define the next thousand years of human coordination. Listeners will hear how Bitcoin can inherit gold’s strengths while upgrading them with digital scarcity, trustworthy rules, and a radically longer time horizon for saving and building. Stewart also unpacks his analogy between Bitcoin and Rabelais shaping the French language, examining how culture, art, and ideas are quietly being coded into this new monetary protocol. From thinking in centuries instead of quarters to imagining what future historians will say about our transition from fiat to Bitcoin, this conversation challenges short-term thinking and invites a civilizational perspective on money. If you are curious about where Bitcoin truly fits in the grand story of humanity, this episode is for you. Subscribe now so you never miss a new conversation on The Web3 Prof Podcast.

    Bitcoin, the Bible, and Sound Money with Pastor Coin (Alin Armstrong)

    What does Scripture really say about money, justice, and value in a world moving toward Bitcoin and digital assets? In this episode of The Web3 Prof Podcast, Pastor Coin (Alin Armstrong), author of The Bible & Bitcoin, unpacks how biblical teaching on money, energy, and time connects with Bitcoin as a form of sound money. He explains how key features of Bitcoin such as scarcity, censorship resistance, and the time energy link resonate with Christian ethics, and where they may raise important questions. We explore how concepts like stewardship, generosity, and serving others can coexist with wealth accumulation in a Bitcoin world, and what biblical principles can help Christians discern when a monetary system is just or unjust. Pastor Coin also shares practical “entry points” for talking about Bitcoin with people who do not come from a faith background, and responds to critiques that mixing faith and crypto risks idolatry or confusion between spiritual truth and technology. Finally, he looks ahead at how churches and ministries might rethink donations, missions, and resource allocation in a sound money future. If you are curious about where faith and Bitcoin intersect, this conversation will challenge and deepen how you think about money and mission.
