    Matthew Vuk joins to discuss Bark, Second’s Bitcoin-only implementation of the Ark protocol.

    CD207: SETH FOR PRIVACY - RADAR - BITCOIN IN SIGNAL

    Seth For Privacy joins to chat Radar, a new app that adds Bitcoin payments directly into Signal. We discuss forking Signal while keeping full account and chat compatibility, why they built on Signal’s network instead of Nostr or SimpleX, donating back to Signal Foundation, and how end-to-end encryption keeps payments invisible even to Signal. Then we go deep on the tech: Spark versus Ark trust models, unilateral exit, privacy tradeoffs, Lightning interoperability, seed backups tied to your Signal account, stable balances, on and off ramps, and the goal of bringing Bitcoin to everyday chat users.

We get into Bitcoin Ekasi’s live five-of-seven federation, running guardians on Start9, how Iroh removes DNS and networking pain, backups, uptime, and why federated custody can be a powerful middle ground between self custody and custodial wallets. We discuss Lightning gateways, Conduit wallet, MoneyBadger payments, eCash privacy, zero-fee internal transactions, on-chain UTXO consolidation, and why Fedimint may become a key tool for Bitcoin communities around the world.

    Jason joins to discuss Tando, a Bitcoin payments app in Kenya that connects Lightning to M-PESA.

    Hermann Buhr Vivier of Bitcoin Ekasi and Carel Van Wyk of MoneyBadger join for an emergency dispatch on South Africa’s proposed Bitcoin restrictions. We get into draft exchange control rules that would bring Bitcoin under a harsh regulatory framework, including forced disclosure of private keys, undefined transaction thresholds, limits on peer-to-peer commerce, mandatory use of centralized crypto service providers, and potential forfeiture. Then we discuss why South Africa’s grassroots Bitcoin adoption matters globally, how MoneyBadger and Bitcoin Ekasi helped build real circular economy usage, and what Bitcoiners can do to push back through public comments, legal challenges, donations, and awareness.

    CD202: EUGENE JARECKI - ASSANGE AND WIKILEAKS - THE SIX BILLION DOLLAR MAN FILM

    Eugene Jarecki joins to discuss his new Julian Assange documentary The Six Billion Dollar Man, filmed over seven years across 15 countries under high security conditions. We get into WikiLeaks as a breakthrough for whistleblowers, Bitcoin’s early role in keeping WikiLeaks alive after Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal cut it off, and why Assange’s story remains central to freedom of information. Then we go deep on the broken state of film distribution, why legacy media and streamers will not touch the film, Jack Dorsey’s idea to release it through Bitcoiners first, and the experiment to make Bitcoin supporters official producers of the film before a wider release.
