Episodes
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."
Martin Matejka joins the show to break down the rise of Bitcoin-native lending, Firefish's 3-of-3 multisig + DLC architecture, and why the February 6 stress test was the day Bitcoin-backed credit grew up.
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 Cole spent fifteen years at CalPERS — the largest public pension fund in the U.S. — running more than $70 billion in global fixed income, where his portfolios reportedly never underperformed their benchmark in a single year. Today he's Chairman & CEO of Strive (Nasdaq: ASST), the first publicly traded asset-management Bitcoin treasury company — and the man who just made a security pay a divid
Matt Hougan — Bitcoin's Next Supply Shock
Matt Hougan is the Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management — one of eleven spot Bitcoin ETF issuers, managing over $10 billion. When family offices, RIAs, and pension consultants size their Bitcoin allocation, his is the analysis they read.
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.

Pius Sprenger Shorted Subprime. Now He Sees It Again.

In February 2007 he co-built the ABX index with Goldman Sachs and Bear Stearns. He held his short position for nearly three years while senior management told him he was w
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.
Now legislators across the country are coming for Bitcoin ATMs and framing it as consumer pr
Bitcoin Age, the Dollar Mind Trick & Why Gold is Old | Nik Bhatia @timevalueofbtc | EP271
Nik Bhatia called Bitcoin a once-in-a-millennium monetary event
before most people understood what Bitcoin was. Now he has a
second book, a course at USC Marshall, and the global monetary
system is doing exactly what he said it would do.
This is one of the most important conversations we have had on
this show.
We discuss:

Who Controls Bitcoin? 16 Years of Data and a 13-Year-Old Hard Drive | EP270 | @secsovereign
Josh discovered Bitcoin in 2010 — before most people knew what a blockchain was.
What happened next changed everything.
"I'm thankful that I forgot that I was holding." — Josh @secsovereign
