    Bitcoin Core Has Been Compromised | Matthew Kratter | BIS #203

    Matthew Kratter joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about the escalating fight against spam on Bitcoin, why he believes Bitcoin Core has been compromised, and how the pleb migration to Bitcoin Knots has gone from 1% to 25% of the network in under two years. Kratter walks through the case for BIP-110 as a temporary soft fork, explains why mining pool centralization is the structural problem underneath everything else, and shares his own setup for renting hashrate at industrial scale from home using Datum Gateway and Ocean. The conversation also covers the rotting culture inside Bitcoin Core, why slaying our heroes still matters when figures like Adam Back behave erratically, and what self-custody, sound money, and Bitcoin sovereignty actually demand from us when the protocol itself is under cultural attack.

    Defending Bitcoin: Cybersecurity for the Monetary Grid | Luke de Wolf | BIS #202

    Luke de Wolf joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about his upcoming book Defending Bitcoin: Industrial-Grade Cybersecurity for the Monetary Grid, the cybersecurity case for treating Bitcoin as critical infrastructure, and why arbitrary data on Bitcoin should be considered a textbook availability vulnerability. The conversation covers Luke's reversal on BIP-110, the governance concentration around Bitcoin Core, and why decentralized mining through Ocean, Datum, and Stratum V2 is essential for keeping the network resilient. Knut and Luke also preview BTC Prague, the Dublin conference, and the upcoming BTCHEL event in Helsinki this September, with its tracks on Nordic sovereignty, mining and energy, and Bitcoin for human rights.

    The Case Against BIP-110 with Erik Aronesty | Bitcoin Infinity Show #201

    Erik Aronesty joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about his role in BIP 148 and the User-Activated Soft Fork that reshaped the block size wars, and why he eventually traded his big-block stance for a small-block one rooted in bandwidth and node decentralization. He shares hard-earned lessons on Bitcoin mining economics, the long-term security budget question, and why he believes Bitcoin still needs protocol-level privacy through ideas like Mimblewimble alongside covenants like OPCTV for vaulting and self-custody. The conversation digs into BIP 110, OPRETURN policy, the difference between consensus and mempool rules, the dangers of KYC exchanges and Coinbase, and what it actually takes to keep Bitcoin sound money for the next generation.

    Building Bitcoin Tools for Business with Pierre Corbin | Bitcoin Infinity Show #200

    Pierre Corbin joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about why most corporate Bitcoin reserves might be paper Bitcoin, how AI is accelerating the collapse of fiat currencies, and why Bitcoin is the only asset built to survive a world where everything trends toward zero. They also dig into copyright in the internet age, Nostr as proof of authenticity, and how Pierre's company Flash is helping businesses build real Bitcoin treasuries through self-custody.

    Rent Hash Power & Mine Bitcoin From Home with Unhosted Marcellus | BIS #199

    Unhosted Marcellus joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about how any Bitcoiner can now rent hash power for as little as $1 per day and run their own mining pool through Ocean's Datum Gateway. The conversation covers BIP 110 as a grassroots response to Bitcoin Core's controversial mempool policy changes, the game theory of soft fork activation, and why mining might be the final step in the Bitcoiner sovereignty journey that takes you from holding your keys to running your node to actually directing hash power yourself.

    Announcing ProductionReady with Samson Mow & Jimmy Song | BIS #198

    Samson Mow and Jimmy Song join the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about ProductionReady, their new nonprofit funding a conservative third Bitcoin node client designed to preserve Bitcoin's monetary properties and break Core's monopoly on the reference implementation. The conversation covers the dangers of developer-driven feature creep, the inflation bug that slipped past Core review, why multiple client implementations strengthen Bitcoin's decentralization, and the case for prioritizing sound money over bleeding-edge changes. They also weigh in on BIP-110, the OP_RETURN controversy, Taproot's unintended consequences, and why the market wants Bitcoin left alone.

    What Institutions Get Wrong About Bitcoin with Ed Juline | BIS #197

    Ed Juline joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about whether Bitcoin treasury companies are a necessary bridge to mass adoption or a dangerous recreation of fiat financial engineering on top of Bitcoin. Drawing on his experience as former Director of Bitcoin Advocacy at Strategy and years of organizing Bitcoin events, Ed explores the tension between self-custody principles and institutional onboarding, the case that orange pilling is over, and how the early majority can be kept honest as Bitcoin enters the capital markets. The conversation dives into what makes a real Bitcoin company, the risks of paper Bitcoin, and why the cypherpunk ethos still matters in an era of suit coiners and sovereign adoption.

    Why Centralization Always Fails with Nick Hudson | Bitcoin Infinity Show #196

    Nick Hudson joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about how billionaire bankers spent 150 years building the institutional framework of socialism to centralize control of assets, his personal persecution by professional bodies and intelligence assets for questioning the COVID narrative, and why extreme fragmentation of ownership through stock markets destroys sound stewardship. Knut and Nick explore the parallels between Austrian economics and Bitcoin's design philosophy, the epistemological case against central planning, and why programmable CBDCs destroy the fungibility that makes money function.
