Aaron Siri: The One Product You Can't Sue in America
"People say 'I believe in vaccines.' Nobody says that about seatbelts."
Aaron Siri is the managing partner of Siri & Glimstad and, by most measures, the most consequential vaccine litigator in America. He's the attorney behind the famous nine-hour deposition of Dr. Stanley Plotkin — the man they call the godfather of vaccines — lead counsel for the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), a 2025 Se
Hodlonaut: The Fight for Bitcoin — Bitcoin Core, the Capture Series & BIP-110

Hodlonaut is a Bitcoin citizen journalist, the founder of the Citadel21 zine, the man behind the 2019 Lightning Torch, and the person who told the simple truth about Craig Wright and then stood in the fire for five years over it. Most recently he is the author of the Capture series, a deep inve

His claim: Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized critical infrastructure, and it should be defended with the same risk-manage
The Tyranny of the Clock | Scott Dedels, The Age of Time
"Most of the money problems we talk about with Bitcoin — they're not money problems. They're time problems."
Scott Dedels — founder of Block Rewards and author of The Age of Time — says the clock is a technology. It was invented about 600 years ago, and somewhere along the way we forgot it was ever invented at all. His claim: the problem of time is upstream of the problem of money. Fiat was downst
Bitcoin Mechanic — The Soul of Bitcoin (BIP110)
"21 million isn't a promise. It's a rule — and rules only hold if your node enforces them."
Bitcoin Mechanic — of mining pool OCEAN — says Bitcoin is in a civil war, and most holders don't even know it's happening. The fight isn't over price. It's over who's actually in charge: Core or Knots, miners or developers — or the nodes that quietly outvote them all. We get into the Eye of Sauron turning t
Bitcoin Against the Machine | Kent Halliburton, Sazmining
"Mining isn't just how Bitcoin gets made — it's a decentralized money printer."
Kent Halliburton — CEO and co-founder of Sazmining — makes a claim that should bother everyone who only buys their Bitcoin: mining isn't just how Bitcoin gets made, it's a decentralized money printer anyone can run. He calls it hash punk. We get into why you get better Bitcoin when you mine it, his arc from solar to ho
A Titanium-Sized Post-It — James Caruso, Stamp Seed
"Paper is where Bitcoin goes to die."
James Caruso — co-founder and VP of Stamp Seed — joins the show with one of the most unlikely origin stories in Bitcoin: how a 70-year-old metal-stamping company stumbled into Bitcoin through its own search data, and became one of the most trusted cold-storage backups in the space.
We get into why paper — and the gel pen you wrote your seed words with — is the
Bitcoin Is More — Tomer Strolight on Money, Rights & AI
"Bitcoin is a rights-protection entity."
Tomer Strolight returns for his ninth visit — and reads four of his own essays start to finish, with conversation in between: Bitcoin Is More, Living With AI, AI Built to Survive, and This Is Not the End.
We discuss why Bitcoin isn't a price but a superstate no government on earth can reach — even as Iran floats a Bitcoin toll in the middle of a war — why s
Bitcoin Is Under Attack | Matthew Kratter, Bitcoin University
"Bitcoin is not physical gold. You can kill Bitcoin."
Matthew Kratter — who runs Bitcoin University, did a PhD in literature under René Girard, and ran global macro at Peter Thiel's hedge fund — joins the show to explain why he now holds nearly everything he owns in Bitcoin, and why he's become one of the loudest voices warning that Bitcoin is under attack from the inside.
We trace the improbable
Rehypothecation Is Cryptographically Impossible — Martin Matejka, Firefish CEO
"Rehypothecation is cryptographically impossible."

We discuss why rehypothecation can be engineered out rather than promised away, how Firefish thinks about LTV, margin-call cadence, and the thre
Matt Cole — He Built a Stock That Pays You Every Day

Matt Hougan — Bitcoin's Next Supply Shock

This is the institutional case for Bitcoin in plain language: Bitcoin as two investments at once (digital gold plus a call option on becoming the
Why Bitcoin Needs Its Own Summer Camp | Camp Nakamoto
Jeff Casler and Angelo Firenze don't run a Bitcoin conference. They run a Bitcoin camp.
Jeff is a serial entrepreneur and MS survivor — co-founder of Camp Nakamoto and @btc_mass, with a thesis-forward "why this matters" voice. Angelo grew up on Sandy Island. He spent decades as director of the original family camp the property was built around — and now runs the Bitcoin version of the same idea.

The FCC Collected $6,790. Then They Came for Bitcoin ATMs. | Paul Tarantino | Ep 272
Paul Tarantino is the CEO of Byte Federal, one of the largest Bitcoin ATM networks in the country. Eighteen months ago on this show he told us Bitcoin wins by default. That Bitcoin is the last currency standing. That AI-generated fraud would break the credit-based payment system.
He was right on all three.
