    CBDCs are Coming (And the Bitcoin Exit Awaits)

    I walk through the global push for Central Bank Digital Currencies, why voluntary rollouts have mostly flopped, and what governments really gain from programmable, fully surveilled money. I dig into the upcoming digital euro, the U.S. Senate’s move against a federal CBDC, and the rise of OpenUSD as an open stablecoin standard. Ultimately I argue that while CBDCs are about control, the infrastructure they create may unintentionally supercharge a global Bitcoin exit ramp. I break down why this surveillance trap might give us our ultimate exit.

    Chat_174 - Preparing Bitcoin for an Unknown Future with Hunter Beast

    ***"I'm almost 99% certain that [BIP] 110 will activate. And not only that, I think there will be a capitulation after October, where if the month of October passes and [BIP] 110 is still not merged by Core devs, it essentially reflects that they are no longer relevant because they failed to be good stewards of the protocol." ~ Hunter Beast*** In this episode I sit down with Hunter Beast for a sprawling, high-signal exploration of how to prepare Bitcoin for an unknowable future. We cover formal verification and Lean 4, AI-accelerated proofs, surveillance and BIP39 risks, faith and natural law, and why he thinks governance must shift toward provable safety over new features. We finish with his confident prediction that BIP 110 will activate, and what it would mean for Core’s relevance if it doesn’t.

    The Most Important Project in Bitcoin (You probably haven't heard of)

    What is the most important project in Bitcoin? It isn't BIP 110 or some shiny new payment protocol. We actually have a massive security vulnerability sitting at the base layer: Bitcoin mining isn't really mining anymore. Right now, we have millions of hashers but barely a handful of real miners deciding what transactions make it into a block. And that means a few centralized pool operators could easily censor the network. In this Take, I explain why the critical distinction between a hasher and a miner matters. But more importantly, I outline how newer protocols are finally fixing a decade-long mistake. Chapters (00:00:00) - The most important project (00:00:29) - Hashers vs miners (00:01:35) - Pools choose transactions (00:03:06) - The few pools who can censor (00:04:21) - Nodes and block templates (00:06:15) - Holding your own keys (00:06:55) - Datum and Stratum V2 (00:08:50) - The single giant pool risk (00:11:31) - Spam, Slipstream, BIP110 (00:13:22) - Ocean, DMND, and what's next Affiliate Links Become sovereign, hold your keys, be censorship resistant with the Bitbox hardware wallet.

    Chat_173 - The Time Has Come for Privacy on Bitcoin with Dan Gould

    ***"I think I got kind of orange-pilled and privacy-pilled in this way when Snowden exposed all this surveillance that was happening by default through every system you've ever touched. That's when I started treating all digital infrastructure as inherently recording devices. They're trying to take information and, even if someone doesn't really want or intend to store the information, it's possible that it gets leaked through a hack. And when it comes to money, that reveals all the relationships someone has. And without privacy, there's no way for that to be free. For Bitcoin to kind of live up in my mind to what it was meant to do, be censorship resistant, you need to have privacy." ~ Dan Gould*** We've all heard that Bitcoin needs privacy to function as real money. But most current solutions force you to jump through ridiculous hoops. Dan Gould has been obsessing over this exact problem for years, and he came on the show to explain why we might finally have a viable fix. Dan and I talked through the history of Bitcoin privacy tools. We looked back at the early days of TumbleBit and Wasabi, and got into why past attempts failed to gain significant adoption. But the core of our conversation was about Payjoin V3. If you care about protecting your stack and keeping your identity safe from on-chain surveillance firms, you need to hear this one. Dan breaks down exactly how the new Payjoin protocol strips out the heavy infrastructure and simply hides your transactions in plain sight. It completely shifted my perspective on how we actually achieve basic on-chain privacy.

    What does the woke left TRULY worship?

    The extreme left often claims to follow logic and "the science". But I've noticed a glaring pattern that contradicts this. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. In this Take, I share my thoughts on the "holy trinity" the woke left actually worships. It starts with treating other people's money like magic. But seizing wealth is just the beginning. I break down the dangerous obsession with political authority and blind submission driving this hostile new religion.

    Roundtable_022 - What if Bitcoin Dies?

    The sentiment lately has been total garbage. We’re deep in a bear market, the red candles are stacking up, and people are getting nervous. So, I got the guys back around the table to ask a really uncomfortable question: what happens if Bitcoin actually dies? We keep things pretty casual but talk through some heavy stuff. We debate the real dangers of leverage, the bizarre obsession with paper Bitcoin equities, and the petty developer drama surrounding mining protocols. Along the way, we come back to why many of us are still effectively all in on Bitcoin, and it's definitely not just for the price. Steve also drops an analogy about weathering the financial storm in the "basement", which it might completely change how you look at market crashes. If you’re feeling the pain of this current cycle, you really need to hear where we ended up on this one. Chapters (00:00:00) - What if Bitcoin Dies?

    "In this X post, I said I don't know the consequences of BIP-110. Plenty of people called that incompetent, cowardly, or both. Others praised it as humility. It's neither. It's just true. I don't know the consequences, and here's my claim. Neither do you." ~ Jimmy Song I am reading Jimmy Song’s latest piece and things get a bit heated today. The debate around BIP-110 has everyone absolutely certain they know what will happen to Bitcoin. But as Jimmy points out, they don't. And honestly, neither do I.

    Chat_172 - Sovereign Devices in a Subscription World with Harald Schäfer

    "comma develops open source ADAS software. You can call it self-driving software, but currently what we ship is something where the user is supposed to pay attention all the time." "We want the software to be open source so that people have full control. The hardware is something you have root on. We don't have any access to your device in terms of that's necessary to make it operate normally. There's some telemetry that you can turn off if you want. The device is something you buy, you run open source software on it and there's no cloud involved in making it work as an ADAS product." ***"We're pretty passionate about making sure that if you buy something you own it, if you run software, it should be open source and you should be able to modify it, or at least we shouldn't be able to stop you. That should be a thing that you control." ~ Harald Schäfer*** In this episode I talk with Harald Schäfer, CTO of comma(.)ai, about building sovereign driver-assist tech that runs locally on hardware you actually own. We dig into open-source ADAS, resisting the subscription and cloud-control model, how comma stayed sustainable without obtaining billions from VCs, and the real impact of modern AI on software development and robotics.
