Read_900 – A Flood of Censorship, Inflation & CBDCs, and an Ark [FFR 80-86]

Around the world, Bitcoin is colliding with power. Russia tracks miners, Pakistan builds a digital rupee, and activists quietly test new tools for freedom. In this episode I unpack the latest Financial Freedom Report, explore breakthroughs like Block’s modular “Proto Rig” and the ARK protocol, and ask: can these innovations keep Bitcoin uncensorable?

Chat_142 – Ai, Bitcoin and 5th Generation Warfare with Jordan and Average Gary

“There have never been more tools available to the individual than there have been today.And it’s like cryptography is like the thing. If cryptography is like the wheel, like we invented the wheel. Okay, cool. We have a wheelbarrow and we have a cart and stuff like that. Bitcoin is now like this engine that is enabling these wheels to turn at a rate that a lot of people are sleeping on.”~ Average Gary
In this episode, I sit down with Average Gary and Jordan from Bitcoin Veterans for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from military life to Bitcoin, from raising kids to the future of AI. We dig into their backgrounds in the service, the moments that shifted their perspectives, and how those experiences now shape their work in the Bitcoin space.
What does it mean to be “peaceful, not harmless”? How do you balance the weight of family legacy with the urgency of building tools for freedom? And in a world of information warfare, how do we discern truth from deception?
We also explore the rise of vibe coding, the promise and pitfalls of AI, and why open-source collaboration matters more than ever. Along the way, we touch on the upcoming Bitcoin Veterans Summit, the role of mining in sovereignty, and the deeper question of what it means to leave behind a lasting impact.

Read_899 – USDT on Lightning: the Good, the Bad, and the Unknown

“Now that USDT and Bitcoin are natively interoperable on lightning, the circle has gained tangents. With USDT on lightning, each party to a payment, the payer and the recipient, can choose whether to use Bitcoin or Tether on their own end, and neither depends on the other’s decision. A customer can pay in Bitcoin and the merchant can receive USDT, or the customer can pay in USDT and the merchant can receive Bitcoin. Or they can both use the same asset, it doesn’t matter. Once both assets are native to lightning, they become automatically, frictionlessly, interchangeable.”~ Roy Sheinfeld
Tether on Lightning isn’t just another technical upgrade — it could reshape how billions of dollars move across the globe. I dive into Roy Sheinfeld’s piece exploring why this integration could supercharge adoption, how it threatens existing rails, and what regulatory and technical unknowns might stand in the way. The real question: does this make Bitcoin stronger, or more fragile?

Chat_141 – Protocols Over Platforms with Oscar Merry

“Obviously we’re trying to make fountain the best possible listening experience and the best possible app for discovering great audio content.But more broadly than that, we don’t want to turn into, you know, another version of Spotify where things only work in fountain. We want to, enable discovery and the signal around valuable content to come from anywhere and be consumed anywhere.That’s going to make fountain a lot better.”~ Guy Swann
I sat down with Oscar Merry, founder of Fountain, to explore how Bitcoin, Nostr, and podcasting intersect in ways most people haven’t yet imagined. How can an open social protocol transform podcast discovery? What happens when “likes” work across every app, not just one platform? We dig into the technical hurdles — from key management and onboarding to building a better search for audio — and the surprising design decisions that make or break adoption. The good, the bad and the messy realities, of building tools that actually work for people, not just developers.

Read_897 – The Great Vanishing of Information

“In my eyes, one of the most common playbooks used by the ruling class is to identify a life-essential resource everyone is using, introduce a new and quote, “better version” of it, and widely promote that new option until the old one is completely displaced.And then once a market monopoly is established, tighten the screws until the replacement is far worse than what preceded it. But there is no longer any real alternative to it. This has happened in agriculture, education, transportation, medicine, and most recently, social media.” — A Midwestern Docter
We grew up thinking “the internet is forever.” But what happens when links die, archives vanish, and yesterday’s truth is memory-holed? In this episode, I explore The Great Vanishing of Information and share my thoughts on why so much gets lost — and how Bitcoin, timestamps, and decentralized tools might be the only way to preserve history.

Chat_140 – Time, Family, and The Bullish Case for Pickleball with Vijay

Consumerism is something that kind of hollows out society. It takes away from the real meaning of why we’re here. Why we’re here on earth and what our goal should be. And I think that just Bitcoin shifting people away from that mindset towards a more future oriented mindset, I think it increases some sort of global morality. It has that effect on people. I think it’s just bringing back something ancient that humans had, which is sound money.”~ Vijay Boyapati
What if the real endgame isn’t just stacking more sats, but reclaiming your time, your health, and your relationships?In this one I sat down with Vijay Boyapati to talk about Bitcoin, yes – but more deeply about time, fatherhood, and how our priorities shift as life unfolds. We explore what it means to be truly wealthy, the connection between low time preference and physical health, and how something as simple as pickleball can reveal deeper truths about community and longevity. Vijay shares his thoughts on parenting with intention, resisting modern distractions, and why Bitcoiners might just be the kind of people who take their legacy seriously.

Take_102 – An Unfair Game

“If you control the money, you control the purchasing power. Which, in turn, allows you to control most other things. […] In short: you can decide who will be deplatformed from society. In the most extreme cases, this is a matter of life and death. Who gets to eat and who must starve; who gets to prosper, and who must perish.”~ Dergigi
If money is the scorecard of society, what happens when the referees can give themselves unlimited points? Today we dive into why our “game” no longer rewards skill or cooperation, and has devolved, predictably, into one of political favor and cultural rot—and why fixing the money might be our only way out. It’s time for a Guy’s Take episode.

Read_896 – Inalienable Property Rights

“Thanks to Bitcoin anyone can use the asymmetric defenses of cryptography to their economic advantage. A symmetry is at the heart of Bitcoin security. Hard to guess. Easy to verify. Cooperation is rewarded. Conflict is not. Your keys are private. The ledger is public. Defense is cheap. Disruption is incredibly costly.It is the asymmetry and cost that gives rise to the crypto economical game theory of Bitcoin. Peaceful and voluntary cooperation. Mutually assured preservation. Sovereignty through cryptography.”~ Dergigi
Bitcoin is more than software – it’s a living, endless game of words, math, and values. In this piece from Dergigi, we explore why free speech, property rights, and sound money are inseparable, and how Bitcoin uses one to create and enforce the others. If you missed this read when it first came out, don’t miss it this time around.

In this re-release episode from “Run Your Mouth” with RobbieTheFire, we delve into the intricate world of economics, exploring the challenges posed by the US dollar’s status as a global reserve currency. Robbie and I discuss the complexities of tariffs and their impact on the economy, questioning whether they truly address the underlying issues or merely mask symptoms.
The conversation naturally ventures into the realm of Bitcoin, pondering its potential role in reshaping our financial landscape – could it be the catalyst for a new economic paradigm?
