The Finale: Liquid's 4,000 Bitcoin, the Caching Bug, and 50 Days for Freedom Wrapped
The Finale: Liquid's 4,000 Bitcoin, the Caching Bug, and 50 Days for Freedom Wrapped Sep 8, 2026 01:26:45 The last day. Brady opened with the count, 37 shows in 50 days, and the campaign's frame: political independence 250 years ago, monetary independence now. Yan Pritzker, Frank Corva, Suze and Alec on stage; Unseen Finance returned at the end.The Liquid hack, plainly. On Sunday somebody sent 4,000 L-BTC to SideSwap's peg-out and the Liquid Federation paid out real Bitcoin. The L-BTC had been created
Big Brother was Opt-in, a 40-Year Central Banking Veteran on Surveillance
Big Brother was Opt-in, a 40-Year Central Banking Veteran on Surveillance Sep 4, 2026 01:24:56 A Friday hang that took a turn. Tomer Strolight, Suze, Swan Private's Alec and Matt, then Brandon Quittem and Dirty Coin director Alana. The surprise came from the audience: an anonymous 40-year IMF and central-bank veteran, @UnseenFinance.Brady opened on a viral Instagram video, described on air and unverified at air time: Meta AI's suggested questions on a mother's post surfaced her child's name
Bob Burnett, Tom French and Callum Wheeler on Mining at the Edge of the Grid | 50 Days for Freedom
Bob Burnett, Tom French and Callum Wheeler on Mining at the Edge of the Grid | 50 Days for Freedom Sep 4, 2026 01:28:36 A mining show, and the Space crashed midway. Bob Burnett, elected chairman of OCEAN two days earlier, joined Tom French and Callum Wheeler of RenewaBlox, with Suze and Swan's Alec on stage.⭐ Burnett's hashrate taxonomy now has three animals: rabbits (home miners, maybe 1 to 2% of hash), wild horses (miners who produce their own power), and captive elephants (industrial miners on someone else's gri
Brandon Quittem on the Cattle That Broke the Apache, Decentralized Organisms, and Earth's Natural Internet | Day 43 of 50
Brandon Quittem on the Cattle That Broke the Apache, Decentralized Organisms, and Earth's Natural Internet | Day 43 of 50 Sep 2, 2026 01:29:31 Brandon Quittem walked through an essay he has never published, and Brady said so up front. The idea: Bitcoin resembles the Apache, who held off three empires for centuries because there was no leader to remove. He opened with the disclaimer, and it matters: "analogy, analogy, analogy. It's not one to one. These are just frameworks." ⭐ The mechanism he laid out: a centralized organization has
Debanking, Why Sound Money Built the Renaissance, Lightning, Listener Questions | Day 42 of 50
Debanking, Why Sound Money Built the Renaissance, Lightning, Listener Questions | Day 42 of 50 Sep 2, 2026 01:28:15 No booked guest today, and the show was better for it. Brady opened the room to listener Bitcoin questions, and the format ran most of the hour. ⭐ Suze gave the single sharpest illustration of UK debanking anyone has offered on this show: Bitcoin Policy UK calls itself BP UK because naming Bitcoin or crypto makes it materially harder to obtain banking services. The UK debanking inquiry's evide
Café Bitcoin | Larry Lepard on the Debasement Trade, Global Bond Yields, and the Big Print | Day 41 of 50
Café Bitcoin | Larry Lepard on the Debasement Trade, Global Bond Yields, and the Big Print | Day 41 of 50 Aug 31, 2026 01:11:50 Larry Lepard's third appearance, and his position has sharpened each time. Days 6 and 21 asked whether the Big Print was coming. This one was about the mechanism, and his answer is the bond market. His central claim: yield curve control is the destination. "It has to be. There's no other choice." The open questions he named are what they call it, how they justify it, and what the politics look
Café Bitcoin | The Lightning Fire Drill, Quantum-Proof Transactions, and Defeating the Surveillance State | Day 37 of 50
Café Bitcoin | The Lightning Fire Drill, Quantum-Proof Transactions, and Defeating the Surveillance State | Day 37 of 50 Aug 28, 2026 01:22:01 The Core Lightning security story, told responsibly. Maintainers found critical vulnerabilities and told CLN operators to shut down until the emergency release. No reported loss of funds, patch within 48 hours, source held back to slow attackers. The part that connects everything: AI found the bugs. Multiple AI-generated vulnerability reports reached the maintainers within days, the exact defen
Lyn Alden on Café Bitcoin | Bessent vs Druckenmiller, the Bull Market Question, and Why She Writes Science Fiction | Day 35 of 50
Lyn Alden on Café Bitcoin | Bessent vs Druckenmiller, the Bull Market Question, and Why She Writes Science Fiction | Day 35 of 50 Aug 25, 2026 01:18:44 Her read on the Treasury story: the market was orderly and the interventions premature. The selloff was rational, the curve is not even steep, and surprise announcements draw attention to a controlled problem. Her phrase: the Streisand effect. She called the buyback program "a super soft form of yield curve control" and said the reaction in gold and Bitcoin is understandable, because surprise d
Café Bitcoin | Sticking the Landing, Answering the Maximalism Eulogy, and One Money in a Free Market | Day 34 of 50
Café Bitcoin | Sticking the Landing, Answering the Maximalism Eulogy, and One Money in a Free Market | Day 34 of 50 Aug 24, 2026 02:01:12 Bitcoin pushed into the high $70,000s and held there. Friday closed near $78,300 and the room watched it cross $79,900 live. Cory's read on why it stuck: the move was spot driven, not leveraged. The ETFs took in $1.92 billion last week per Farside, the strongest week since October 2025. BlackRock accounted for $1.3 billion of it, across five consecutive positive days. Treasury may tap roughly
Café Bitcoin | Bitcoin Rips 23% on the Week, Privacy in the AI Era, Palantir and Government Capture | Day 31 of 50
Café Bitcoin | Bitcoin Rips 23% on the Week, Privacy in the AI Era, Palantir and Government Capture | Day 31 of 50 Aug 21, 2026 01:29:20 Bitcoin around $77,200, up almost 8% on the day and 23% on the week, and the show opens on the mood rather than the chart. Cory, joining from Istanbul: "the shitposting is just completely off the charts. We're back. We're so back." Brandon's read on the turn: "we needed this one. It was a rough couple months." ⭐ Adam Livingston makes the pragmatic case for sovereign accumulation, and grounds it
Parker Lewis on the 12% Day, Hank Paulson's "Break the Glass," and Why Spending Bitcoin Is a Saving Question | Day 30 of 50
Parker Lewis on the 12% Day, Hank Paulson's "Break the Glass," and Why Spending Bitcoin Is a Saving Question | Day 30 of 50 Aug 20, 2026 01:23:53 Bitcoin ran about 12% in 24 hours, from roughly $66,000 to $72,000, and the show opens on it. Parker spends the hour on what produced it rather than the number itself: the long end of the Treasury curve is behaving in a way the Treasury cannot fix. ⭐ The catalyst nobody led with: the Treasury announced a $4 billion buyback of long bonds. The 10-year yield sat at 4.68% at the announcement and fe
Café Bitcoin | The Nuclear Bitcoiner on Mining with Small Modular Reactors, and the Paper He Is Taking to a Nuclear Conference | Day 29 of 50
Café Bitcoin | The Nuclear Bitcoiner on Mining with Small Modular Reactors, and the Paper He Is Taking to a Nuclear Conference | Day 29 of 50 Aug 19, 2026 01:26:55 Ryan MacLeod, who posts as The Nuclear Bitcoiner, works at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and has spent almost eleven years in the industry as a laboratory technologist. He compares his facility to Idaho National Lab, Oak Ridge, or Savannah River in the US, and Sellafield in the UK. The order of his conversion is the opposite of what you would guess: he did not become a nuclear advocate until after
