The largest supply chain attack in crypto history just happened — and these two men were the ones who caught it, documented it, and are now telling the world exactly how it works.

Rob sits down with Mark Karpeles, former CEO of Mt. Gox, and Zach Herbert of Foundation Devices to break down the Ledger hardware wallet attack that's already drained over $100 million from Bitcoin holders. Mark walks through how he discovered malicious chips hidden inside compromised Ledger devices, how they silently read seed phrases off the screen, and how a hidden cellular chip phones that data straight to attackers.

Here is what we cover:

• How Mark discovered the compromised Ledger devices and the implant hiding inside

• How the hidden chip reads your seed phrase off the screen and phones it home

• The hijacked Malaysian reseller behind the attack, and how it spread into Europe

• Why Ledger was targeted over Trezor, and whether the stolen funds can be tracked

• What hardware wallet security needs to look like next, including multi-party computation

The Bond Market Is About To Force Europe Into Shutdown | Nik Bhatia and James Seyffart

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 17:44:49 GMT

France is being called "ground zero" for the next global financial crisis — and the fallout could reshape everything from bond markets to Bitcoin's next move.

Rob sits down with Nik Bhatia ( @TheBitcoinLayer ) and James Seyffart (Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst) to break down the bond selloff ripping through Europe, why France's debt crisis is edging toward a "whatever it takes" moment, and what it all means for gold, Bitcoin, and the U.S. economy. They dig into the $23 billion flooding into bond ETFs, why central banks are hoarding gold at a historic pace, and how gold's explosive 2025 rally just changed James's entire view on how high Bitcoin can go.

The conversation then turns to America: how the U.S. is running record stock market highs on the same high yields that are triggering riots in France, the K-shaped economy splitting the country in two, and why your Social Security number is quietly one of the U.S. government's biggest assets against its $40 trillion debt. Nik and James close out with Bitcoin education, how Nik's pitch for Bitcoin has evolved, and the untold story of how Larry Fink was finally orange-pilled at BlackRock.

Here is what we cover:

• Why France is being called the "ground zero" of the next bond crisis

• The odds the EU bails out France instead of letting the union fracture

• Why bond ETFs just pulled in $23 billion in five days

• Central banks' gold buying spree and what it means for the dollar system

• How gold's 2025 rally changed James's view on Bitcoin's upside potential

• The real relationship between Bitcoin, gold and global liquidity

• Why AI spending is the one thing holding up the entire stock market

• The K-shaped economy and why half the country feels a recession that isn't there

• What American "dynamism" actually looks like compared to Europe

• Why your Social Security number is secretly one of America's biggest assets

• How Nik Bhatia's pitch for Bitcoin has changed since his first book

• The inside story of how Larry Fink was finally orange-pilled at BlackRock

Trump Just Made His BIGGEST Mistake | James Lavish

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:57:52 GMT

🟢 Protect your Bitcoin with multi-institution custody from Onramp. Book your free consultation today at https://onrampbitcoin.com/bn

James Lavish, a Wall Street veteran since 1993, says Trump is making a fatal mistake with the U.S. economy. Lavish has been warning about the debt spiral for years, since the national debt was around $30 trillion; now it's over $40 trillion. He breaks down why bond yields are spiking to levels not seen in decades, why the Fed cutting rates won't actually bring mortgage rates down, and why he believes Washington will never choose real spending cuts, tax hikes, or an outright default, instead opting to quietly inflate the debt away year after year.

Rob Wallace and Lavish dig into what that "soft default" actually means for ordinary Americans, why the people who own hard assets like houses, stocks, gold, and Bitcoin will come out ahead while everyone else falls further behind, and why the biggest so-called "foreign" buyers of U.S. debt are actually U.S. hedge funds operating out of the Cayman Islands. They close out talking Bitcoin adoption, why Lavish was surprised by how much OG selling hit the market this cycle, and his outlook for Strive and Bitcoin treasury companies heading into the next bull run.

Here is what we cover:

• Why the Fed cutting rates doesn't bring mortgage rates down, and what actually drives the 10-year Treasury

• Comparing housing affordability in 1980 versus today, and why the real burden has gotten worse despite lower rates

• Why Washington will almost certainly choose a "soft default," quietly inflating away the debt rather than cutting spending or raising taxes

• Lavish's Debasement Pressure Index, and why offshore hedge funds in the Caymans are actually some of the biggest buyers of U.S. debt

• Why Bitcoin adoption disappointed this cycle, including unexpected OG selling, and his outlook for Strive and Bitcoin treasury companies

Trump Just Dropped A $40T B*mb On Everyone With A Bank Account

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 21:03:46 GMT

🔴 LIVE: Trump just said the quiet part out loud. Inflation is now part of the plan to pay off America's $40 trillion national debt, and Rob Wallace breaks down exactly what that means for every person with a bank account.

In a recent interview, Trump openly suggested that certain levels of inflation will pay off the debt "very rapidly" — a soft launch of a policy that erodes your savings, your wages, and your purchasing power by design. With $2 trillion in annual interest payments and a debt-to-GDP ratio above 120%, the bomb has already been dropped. Bitcoin is the only exit.

Trump's Gamble Just Broke London's Grip — Now Only 3 Assets Win | Cory Klippsten

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 17:55:42 GMT

Everyone in Bitcoin seems sure America is headed for a debt spiral. Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin, thinks they've got it backwards. Cory argues that no matter what happens to the dollar, America wins, and that's exactly why Washington is making room for Bitcoin as a potential fallback.

Rob Wallace sits down with Cory to break down the bond market "apocalypse," with the 10-year hitting its highest level since 2002, and why he sees treasuries, gold, and Bitcoin locked in a three-way race for the rest of the century, with Bitcoin as the fastest horse. Cory also spent the summer traveling through Istanbul, where the lira was collapsing so fast his mother-in-law made the family write down the exchange rate every time they spent money, and he shares what that kind of currency collapse actually looks like on the ground.

The conversation closes with Cory's sharpest takes: why he believes most Bitcoin media functions like a car magazine that can't bite the hand that advertises, and why he thinks Bitcoin ETFs actually kneecapped the last bull run by making it too easy to gain price exposure without understanding what you own.

Here is what we cover:

• Breaking down the bond market selloff and the 10-year Treasury hitting 5.34%

• Why Cory believes America wins whether or not the dollar stays dominant

• The three-way race between treasuries, gold, and Bitcoin for the rest of the century

• Why the midterms and political gridlock don't actually move Bitcoin's price

• Why the CLARITY Act's failure barely mattered to Bitcoin, aside from losing BRCA

• Why Coinbase and A16Z will get dragged into hearings but likely walk away unscathed

• Cory's take on prediction markets: genuine utility versus a gambling black hole

• Why the "great shitcoin war" is over, and how crypto fully merged with TradFi

• What life in Istanbul looks like under near-hyperinflation and currency collapse

• France's sovereign debt troubles and fears of the next European financial crisis

• The America.gov AI rollout and Cory's concerns about a surveillance "panopticon"

• Why China is stockpiling gold while cracking down on Bitcoin, and what that reveals

• The US-China economic interdependence behind the Trump-Xi summits

• How stablecoins and "dollar merchants" are being used to prop up dollar demand

• Why Bitcoin's price is ultimately decoupled from every macro narrative

• Behind the scenes of Cory's daily show, Outside Money, and its explosive growth

• Why Cory thinks most Bitcoin media operates like a car magazine, afraid to upset advertisers

• How Bitcoin ETFs may have kneecapped the last bull run by skipping real education

• A vibe check on where sentiment stands heading into 2027

What’s Really At The Bottom of The Bitcoin Rabbit Hole? | Bram Kanstein and Scott Dedels

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 17:05:28 GMT

How far down the Bitcoin rabbit hole can you actually go? Author Scott Dedels and Bram Kanstein have gone further than most.

Scott Dedels argues that the money problem is just the shallow end of a much bigger problem with time itself, one he believes is older than fiat and more significant than money. Meanwhile,

Bram Kanstein ( @bramk ) took over 30 Bitcoiners into the mountains of Colorado for a psychedelic ceremony to explore what lies beyond simply fixing the money.

Rob Wallace sits down with both of them to explore Bitcoin as more than a monetary technology, touching on consciousness, mechanical time, psychedelics, and the spiritual dimension of adopting an absolute, verifiable truth in a world built on manufactured systems. Scott also shares why he believes 2026 could be the year even the most seasoned Bitcoin OGs look back and realize their conviction wasn't as strong as they thought.

Here is what we cover:

• A Bitcoin vibe check heading into the end of 2026, and why conviction gets tested at the bottom

• Why Bitcoin gives people proof that they can think for themselves

• Scott's thesis: fix the clocks, fix civilization, and why the time problem may be bigger than the money problem

• How mechanical time is only 400 years old, and why that matters

• Bitcoin, consciousness, and the idea of a shared, agreed-upon reality

• Why thinking in four-year cycles rehabilitates your ability to plan long-term

• The Dao of Bitcoin: how conviction changes your relationship with the present moment

• Bitcoin as an "economic psychedelic" and what that phrase actually means

• Why Bitcoin functions as an absolute, objective truth unlike anything else in the world

• Bram's bike accident, the ambulance ride, and the lesson it taught him about surrender and reality

• Psychedelics and how they alter the perception of time and expand consciousness

• Why Bitcoiners tend to be more hopeful about the future than people who went down other rabbit holes

• The community and friendships that form once you go deep into Bitcoin

• Inside Bram's "Beyond Bitcoin" psychedelic retreat in Colorado with 30 Bitcoiners

• Why so many people feel alone on their Bitcoin journey, and why they shouldn't

• Advice for staying the path through the ebbs and flows of conviction

• Taking personal responsibility in a world built on outsourcing it

The US Debt Is Out of Buyers… 8% Mortgages Incoming | Phil Geiger & John Haar

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:15:15 GMT

🔴 LIVE — Phil Geiger and John Haar are laying out the case that the US Treasury market is running out of buyers at exactly the wrong moment — and Scott Bessent has no good options left.

With 6% Treasuries and 8% mortgages potentially incoming, the long end of the bond market is sending a warning that most investors are still not taking seriously enough. When the world's reserve currency can't find buyers for its debt, the ripple effects hit every asset class on earth — and Bitcoin is the only exit that doesn't require trusting the same system that's breaking.

The CLARITY Act Is NEVER Coming Back [They Knew It Would Fail] | Dennis Porter

Mon, 28 Sep 2026 20:26:25 GMT

They killed CLARITY with 30 minutes left on the clock — and it wasn't the side everyone's blaming.

Dennis Porter, CEO of the Satoshi Action Fund, joins us to break down what really happened behind closed doors when the CLARITY Act collapsed. Dennis explains why his viral tweet blaming Trump Coin, WLFI, USD1 and Melania Coin for the bill's failure sparked a furious backlash email within the hour, and why he stands by the number: Trump's crypto ventures pocketed $1.4 billion while investors in those same projects lost roughly $4 billion.

From there, Dennis walks through the bill's final hours, including new details on who actually broke up the last-minute negotiation just 30 minutes before the scheduled vote, and why it wasn't the party everyone assumes. He also covers Big Crypto's one-sided political spending, the growing PR gap between Bitcoin and crypto, and why a rising Bitcoin price might be the very thing that keeps CLARITY dead for good.

The conversation closes with a wide-ranging look at Washington: midterm sweep odds, who gets subpoenaed first if Democrats retake Congress, the AI policy battle now dominating DC over crypto, and what real political reform would take to get corporate money out of lawmaking.

Here is what we cover:

• The September 15th tweet and the $1.4 billion Trump family crypto profit vs. $4 billion in investor losses

• The furious backlash email Dennis received within an hour of going public

• The full account of how Republicans broke up the final CLARITY negotiation 30 minutes before the vote

• Why Big Crypto (Coinbase, A16Z, Ripple, DCG) has spent politically in a one-sided way

• Breaking down the 630-page bill and Saylor's "book of restrictions, not a bill of rights" line

• What happens now that SEC and CFTC rulemaking continues without statutory permanence

• The likelihood of lawsuits to set precedent after CLARITY's failure

• BRCA developer protections getting watered down, and whether Senator Wyden could revive them

• Why classifying Ethereum, Solana and Ripple as commodities was a mistake, and the case for a "network token" framework instead

• Whether CLARITY gets reintroduced, and why a rising Bitcoin price makes that less likely

• Why crypto is now more unpopular with voters than AI, data centers, or oil and gas

• The real difference between how voters see Bitcoin versus crypto, and why that distinction keeps getting lost

• Prediction markets pricing in a 64-66% chance of a Democratic sweep in the midterms

• Who gets subpoenaed first if Democrats retake power: Coinbase and A16Z

• The on-air fight Dennis had with a crypto executive over who's to blame

• Why the $40 trillion national debt and 10-year Treasury above 5% are being overshadowed by AI in DC

• How the AI policy fight splits left versus right

• Fixing corruption in Washington: Citizens United, lobbying reform, and term limits

• Dennis's closing reflections on America's political future 250 years after independence

AI Is A Trojan Horse For Something Much Darker | Miles Harris

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 18:17:17 GMT

Over 15% of the US money supply is now flowing into the AI and data center buildout. Rising Bitcoin star, Miles Harris ( @milesharris5315 ) says that's not the real story. It's a trillion dollar cover for something much bigger.

Miles Harris, an emerging macro voice focused on collateral, credit, and monetary architecture, joins the show to break down the real financial system being quietly built behind the AI narrative, why your mortgage could become part of it, and why he believes Bitcoin was tailor made for exactly this moment.

Here is what we cover:

• Why Miles believes the AI boom is largely a cover story for a much bigger financial restructuring

• The core thesis: a financial system can't run out of money with a printer, but it can run out of collateral

• How data centers themselves are being built as a new form of scarce, pledgeable collateral

• The shift from an income statement economy to a balance sheet economy since 1971

• Why debt to household net worth is a more revealing metric than debt to GDP

• The database permissioned society Miles fears is being built, and what automatic enforcement of smart contracts could mean

• Social credit style risk scoring and why two people pledging the same asset could get very different loan terms

• Why European data centers are swallowing farmland and what that means for food security

• Ursula von der Leyen's comments calling European savings lazy money, and what Miles thinks that really signals

• Tokenized bank deposits explained and why they may be a quieter, more palatable alternative to a CBDC

• The Genius Act, the Clarity Act, and how stablecoins create structural demand for US Treasury bills

• The Triffin dilemma revisited and how stablecoins could change the incentives around dollar recklessness

• The Bank of England's tokenization pilot and why owning assets free of debt may be the best protection

• The three reasons Miles believes Bitcoin may have been created specifically for this new collateral-based system

• The UK's recent decision to remove capital gains tax on Bitcoin pledged as collateral, and why that matters

• Why Bitcoin held its ground against a strengthening dollar during the Iran conflict, and what that could signal

• What the financial world could look like five and ten years from now

• Why CBDCs might be a red herring compared to what's actually being built

• Miles's honest fears about a coming permission age, and where he still finds hope

This is one of the most detailed and original breakdowns of the real financial system being built beneath the AI narrative that you will find anywhere.

Strategy CAN’T Be Broken — Even at $30K Bitcoin | Dan Hillery

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:20:07 GMT

Strategy just destroyed a fifth of its Bitcoin per share to protect its balance sheet. Dan Hillery says that is exactly why the company can no longer be broken, even at $30,000 Bitcoin.

Dan Hillery, founder of UTXO Management, returns to break down Strategy's balance sheet, why STRC nearly buckled at $70 before recovering, and why pure-play Bitcoin treasury companies are entering a serious consolidation phase.

Here is what we cover:

• Why Strategy sacrificed a fifth of its Bitcoin per share to fortify the balance sheet

• Why Saylor selling at the bottom in 2022 and again this year is not as damaging as people think

• The real distress moment when STRC traded near $70 and Bitcoin sat around $58K

• Why four years of dividend coverage means Strategy's cash reserve is more than sufficient

• How the $1.3 billion opportunistic cash pile is being used to buy back STRC and MSTR

• Why the balance sheet was built so it literally cannot be broken

• Why common shareholders have felt sidelined and what the path forward looks like

• Why an MNAV above two should not be expected long term

• Whether the other preferreds will be retired and why STRC is the clear focus

• Why STRC has struggled to reclaim par even after recovering from the 70s

• Whether it is healthy for Strategy to be buying back this much of its own STRC

• The real composition of STRC buyers and whether the 80/20 retail split still holds

• Comparing STRC to SEDA and why their yields cannot be judged apples to apples

• Strategy achieving net zero debt and why that milestone matters

• Why the era of pure-play leveraged Bitcoin equities is ending

• How many Bitcoin treasury companies will realistically survive

• The MetaPlanet compensation controversy and shareholder revolt

• DeFi products built on STRC, the Buck stablecoin story, and the June crash

• Why Bitcoin and gold's correlation just hit its highest level since 2020

• Dan's new fund at UTXO and building fixed income products around Bitcoin preferreds

This is one of the most detailed insider breakdowns of the Bitcoin treasury company landscape you will find anywhere.

"AI Is About to Accelerate Bitcoin Like NOTHING Else." | Steven Lubka

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:49:18 GMT

Steven Lubka says AI could wipe out almost every business by 2036. He also says that is the most bullish possible setup for Bitcoin.

Steven Lubka from Nakamoto joins the show to break down why disruption at this scale actually strengthens the Bitcoin thesis, why AI could hand every politician, red or blue, an impossible problem, and why the US and China could end up dominating an AI-driven world while smaller nations fight for currency survival.

Here is what we cover:

• Why AI wiping out most businesses is actually bullish for Bitcoin, not bearish

• The key differences between Bitcoin as a monetary good and AI as pure utility

• Digital scarcity versus digital abundance and how the two technologies play off each other

• Why most Americans still fundamentally misunderstand what AI can already do

• The generational and cultural resistance to new technology and why it always happens

• How voice interfaces and tools like Grokipedia are quietly starting a second computing revolution

• Why AI is becoming a mirror for people's sense of purpose and existential orientation

• The impossible political question: would you choose abundance if it meant you were no longer needed

• Why human identity is tied to being valued by others, not to economic necessity

• What happens politically if AI replaces 70 percent of human labor

• The real path toward AGI and ASI and why there may not be a hard ceiling on intelligence

• Why AI models escaping sandboxed environments is already a real cybersecurity concern

• Whether the AI trade is a bubble and why inference alone may already be a profitable business

• How Steven used AI to analyze his own raw DNA data and the health changes that followed

• What the world could look like in 2036 after one of the largest economic transitions in history

• Why Bitcoin remains the native currency of the internet no matter how advanced AI becomes

This is one of the most thought-provoking conversations on AI, economics, and Bitcoin's role in the next decade you will hear this year.

Is The Fed About To Kill The Bitcoin Bull Run Before It Has Even Begun? | Cam Stromme & Mitchell Askew

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 17:57:35 GMT

🔴 LIVE — Cam Stromme and Mitchell Askew are joining us live as we analyze the impending Federal Reserve decision that could cut the Bitcoin bull run short before it ever gets off the ground — and the timing couldn't be more critical.

The signals coming out of the Fed right now suggest a move that markets are wildly underpricing, and if it lands the way our guests expect, the rally most Bitcoiners are waiting for could get delayed or derailed entirely.

This is the warning you need to hear before the decision drops.

“We Just Passed The Point of No Return” — Why $500K Bitcoin Is Inevitable Now | Jamie Coutts

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 16:51:54 GMT

Jamie Coutts says we just passed the point of no return. Bitcoin broke out in a way that historically only happens once every few years, and he thinks $500,000 is no longer a question of if, but when.

Jamie, macro and crypto strategist at Real Vision (@RealVisionFinance⁩), returns to explain why the 10-year Treasury is quietly in crisis, why Bessent may be trapped by his own strategy, and why the AI boom could end up being one of the biggest tailwinds Bitcoin has ever had.

Here is what we cover:

• Why Bitcoin's recent breakout is historically rare and what makes this one different

• The 10-year Treasury crisis explained and why it matters more than people realize

• The critical $83K level Jamie is watching and why it could define the next leg

• Pullback risk, Fed rate hikes, and what could derail the move short term

• Why the MOVE index is quietly one of the most important charts in macro right now

• Europe, the yen, and sovereign debt stress building across multiple regions at once

• Why the debasement trade is back and what is different about it this time

• Hidden risks building inside the AI boom that most investors are not pricing in

• The growing AI backlash and why sentiment could turn faster than expected

• How Bitcoin fits into an AI-driven economy and why that role is expanding

• What happens when 50 billion AI agents start transacting and why Bitcoin is positioned for it

• AI-powered attacks on Bitcoin infrastructure and why security has to evolve fast

• Reasons for long-term optimism despite the near-term risks

• Jamie's full case for why $500K Bitcoin is now the realistic outlook

This is one of the most detailed macro breakdowns connecting Treasury stress, AI, and Bitcoin's next move that you will find anywhere.

“Bitcoin Is Now In FULL Bull Mode.” | Matt Hougan

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 16:48:15 GMT

Matt Hougan says wealth managers are about to become the next major wave of Bitcoin buyers, and he is calling it full bull mode. He also thinks there could be a twelve billion dollar single-day ETF inflow coming. But he is also warning of real chop ahead before that next leg fully takes hold.

The CIO of Bitwise returns to break down the Liquid hack and why institutional demand for Bitcoin barely blinked, why custody and white-hat ethics are becoming a serious conversation at the highest levels, and why Bessent's Treasury plan really only leads to two outcomes, both of which are bullish for Bitcoin.

Full bull mode does not mean a straight line up. This is one of the most data-driven and institutionally grounded conversations on where Bitcoin stands right now, chop and all.

Here is what we cover:

• Why wealth managers are about to become the next wave of major Bitcoin buyers

• The Liquid hack and why institutional Bitcoin demand survived it intact

• Custody, hacker negotiations, and the ethics of white-hat intervention

• How AI-powered attacks are forcing Bitcoin security to harden faster

• Why diversifying Bitcoin custody across ETFs is becoming a real strategy

• In-kind ETF transfers explained and who is using them right now

• Whether ETFs could someday transfer Bitcoin out and what that means for custody

• Is the Bitcoin bottom in, and why Matt still expects chop before the next leg up

• Bitcoin's new base and what near-term price action tells institutional investors

• ETF inflows and the next wealth manager buying cycle

• Hedge fund flows versus long-only ETF flows and why it matters

• Retail capitulation and what quarterly reporting reveals about investors

• Why the debasement trade is back and how Bitwise built an ETF around it

• Gold and Bitcoin miners as leveraged bets and rising institutional mining interest

• Why owning both AI stocks and Bitcoin makes sense right now

• Whether AI is in a late 1990s style bubble and what that means for scarce assets

• Fed versus Treasury and why the real power dynamic matters more than headlines

• Is this actually soft yield curve control in disguise

• How Bitwise gets to a $1.3 million Bitcoin price target

• What sophisticated institutions actually believe about Bitcoin right now

• Why Bitcoin is quietly becoming normal inside institutional portfolios

"$840K Bitcoin by 2031." | Sminston With

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 16:52:06 GMT

Back in 2013, an anonymous poster named Dacoinminster wrote a single forum post that has quietly predicted Bitcoin's price for over a decade. Sminston With used Grok to dig it back up, and says that formula just called $840,000 Bitcoin by 2031. He also has nine reasons why the bear market is already behind us.

Here is what we cover:

• Nine specific reasons Sminston believes the Bitcoin bear market has officially ended

• Why the 200-week moving average is one of the most reliable long-term signals in Bitcoin's history

• Bitcoin's snapback rally explained and what it typically signals about the next leg of the cycle

• How Sminston used Grok to rediscover dacoinminster's 2013 forum post and why the power law formula has held up for over a decade

• How the power law actually works and why it has outperformed almost every other Bitcoin price model

• Price targets ranging from $481,000 to $1 million and the math behind each scenario

• Why institutional adoption and gold's own trajectory are reinforcing the long-term Bitcoin case

• Sminston's direct response to Cory Klippsten's criticism of power law price models

If you have ever dismissed the power law as internet folklore, this conversation will make you look at the chart very differently.

"Bitcoin Has Waited 16 Years For This EXACT Moment" | Tom Luongo & Vince Lanci

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:55:29 GMT

Bitcoin waited sixteen years for this exact moment. And according to Tom Luongo and Vince Lanci, it just became obvious.

Two friends who spend their lives tracking money, gold, and geopolitics take you on a tour around the entire global risk board. By the end of it, a failed trade deal with Canada, ninety billion barrels of Venezuelan oil, the CIA director landing in Moscow, and seized Iranian tankers sitting in a Texas court all connect into a single argument about who controls the long end of the American yield curve, and why Bitcoin's training wheels just came off.

Here is what we cover:

• Why Carney blew up the US-Canada trade deal and the real reason behind the obnoxious rhetoric on both sides

• Why the real split is not Canada from China, it is Canada from Europe and the City of London

• The ninety billion barrels of sour Venezuelan oil and why that news broke three days after the Canada trade talks collapsed

• Why CIA Director Ratcliffe flying to Moscow was a direct message to Europe

• Storm Shadow missiles and the terrifying question of whose finger is actually on the button

• Operation Economic Outcast and the full picture of how Iran is being sanctioned right now

• The seized Iranian tankers sitting in a Texas court and the collateral question nobody is asking

• What Bessent actually did with the bond buybacks and why almost everyone calling it yield curve control has it wrong

• Treasury QE explained and why banks are being used to finance the government in a completely new way

• The ten to fifteen year plan Vince and Tom believe is already underway to fix the US fiscal deficit

• Why macro funds are buying gold again and what that signals about where smart money sees this going

• Why Vince, a lifelong gold trader, believes Bitcoin's training wheels just came off and why it might be about to become the new gold

• The DARPA argument and why big Bitcoin might be closer to a national security asset than people realize

Everything about Bitcoin's story before this felt almost irrelevant. This conversation argues the big story has been staring us in the face the entire time.

Bitcoin About To FORCE Through $125K — Wall St FOMO Is Loading | Scott Melker

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:18:34 GMT

Scott Melker has officially flipped bullish and says $125,000 is just a pit stop on the way to $1 million Bitcoin.

Scott Melker, market commentator with over a million subscribers and a daily show on Yahoo Finance, joins the show to break down why he stopped trading altogether, why the Treasury just gave Bitcoin its next real catalyst, and why the resilience shown this summer is the real story nobody is talking about.

Here is what we cover:

• Why Scott rates his current bullishness at 8.5 out of 10

• The Silicon Valley Bank parallel and why that failure quietly launched the last bull run

• Why Bessent's bond buyback announcement is a signal, not the actual mechanism, and what it really tells you

• Why liquidated shorts only explain Bitcoin's move up to about $71,000 and what changed after that

• Why Scott was the most vocal critic of Bitcoin treasury companies and the story of getting pitched seven of them in ten minutes at Bitcoin Vegas

• Why the whale wallets that never sold before finally started selling on the way down into the sixties

• Why every worst case scenario of this cycle, including Saylor selling Bitcoin, failed to actually crash the price

• The debt situation, forty trillion dollars, and what Scott thinks Bessent actually has to do next

• Why the four year cycle proponents were early but may still end up right, and why this drawdown broke the standard playbook

• Why Bitcoin's real story this summer was resilience, not price action

Scott's honest take on self custody, why he still recommends a mix of multisig, hardware wallets, and ETFs depending on the person

• The origin story of Scott's viral moment and why removing the holier-than-thou attitude from Bitcoin content resonated with so many people

• Why Scott thinks the AI trade ends in a spectacular explosion eventually, even if the timing is impossible to call

• How producing music trained Scott's brain for chart pattern recognition before he ever got into trading

This is one of the most candid conversations about where Bitcoin stands right now from someone who has been right, wrong, and back again.

America Is Sleepwalking Into The Biggest Disaster On Record | Jeffrey Tucker

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 15:59:12 GMT

America just crossed forty trillion dollars of national debt. Jeffrey Tucker says there is no mechanism left to stop it, and the country is sleepwalking toward a disaster most people cannot even see coming.

Jeffrey Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute and senior economics columnist at Epoch Times, joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation on the collapse of fiscal restraint, the revelations buried in the newly released 1,100-page Fauci Files, and why he is genuinely saddened by what has happened to Bitcoin's founding mission.

Here is what we cover:

• Why there is no longer any mechanism stopping Congress from spending unlimited amounts forever

• How the national debt went from 19.9 trillion to 40 trillion in just ten years and why the pace is accelerating

• Why municipal and state bonds carry real risk premiums while US Treasuries do not, and what that distortion is doing to the system

• The 192 years it took to accumulate the first trillion in debt versus the 5 months it took for the most recent trillion

• What actually held governments in check historically, from the gold standard to the fear of inflation

• Why the American dream is effectively dead for everyone outside the top 5 to 10 percent

• Tucker's theory that the poor have become political pawns rather than people the system is actually designed to help

• The COVID lockdown decisions and why Tucker believes the entire framework of essential versus non-essential work was fabricated on the fly

• What the newly released 1,100-page Fauci Files actually reveal and Tucker's own theory about Fauci's early actions

• Why China's view of Western human rights and governance shaped decisions during the pandemic in ways few people have connected

• The demoralization of legacy media following the Fauci revelations and why the Pulitzer-winning coverage now looks fraudulent

• Why 106 million working-age Americans are completely outside the labor market and what that means for the country's future

• Why privacy coins are quietly being delisted everywhere and what that says about where financial surveillance is headed

• Tucker's honest and complicated feelings about what has happened to Bitcoin and where he still sees hope

This is one of the most unfiltered conversations on the state of America you will hear this year.

Bessent’s Strategy Exposed — The Great Debasement Everyone Missed | Michael Howell

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 17:28:17 GMT

Everyone called 2025 the year of the Great Debasement trade. Michael Howell says it never actually happened. And what comes next could be the biggest monetary regime change in 70 years.

Michael Howell, liquidity expert and founder of CrossBorder Capital, returns to break down why global liquidity, not M2, is the real driver of Bitcoin, why the bond market just broke a 70-year-old pattern, and why the true debasement trade has not even started yet.

Here is what we cover:

• Why M2 is the wrong metric for Bitcoin and why global liquidity has a 13-week predictive lead on crypto prices

• The BES dollar basket explained and why Bitcoin remains the dominant driver even against Ethereum and Solana

• Why the real economy and financial economy are pulling liquidity from each other right now

• The AI capex boom draining liquidity from financial markets and starving Bitcoin of fuel

• Why the 30-year Treasury yield breaking 5% is a bigger deal than most people realize and why Howell thinks 6% is coming

• The 1951 Treasury Fed Accord parallel and why we may be entering a similar regime change today

• The $40 trillion debt threshold and why the average tenor of government debt is quietly being shortened everywhere

• Why Scott Bessent's yield curve management is printing money without ever calling it printing money

• Why Howell rejects the idea that the debasement trade started last year and what the actual tipping point looks like

• China's PBOC liquidity injections and why gold's move has been a China story, not a Western one

• Bitcoin's global liquidity cycle model and why it points to a bottom around the middle of 2027

• Why Howell is not a believer in the four year cycle and what he thinks is driving Bitcoin's cycles instead

• The best monetary hedge for a high inflation regime and why crypto's multiplier effect means even a small allocation matters enormously

This is one of the most technically rigorous breakdowns of global liquidity and its relationship to Bitcoin you will find anywhere.

3 MAJOR BTC ATTACKS: How To Stop Home Invasions + Scams | Tony Yazbeck

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 19:52:22 GMT

LIVE 🔴 Bitcoin self custody in 2026: the COLDCARD hack, the Trezor data breach, and how to secure Bitcoin. Hardware wallet security, multisig, passphrases, entropy and on chain time locks, rebuilt from first principles.

Self custody just failed a stress test nobody was ready for. A COLDCARD firmware flaw produced weak seeds going back to 2021, and coins were swept from people who believed they held the safest hardware wallet made. Trezor customers had their names, home addresses and phone numbers leaked through a shipping partner, many of them people who had only just switched. A fake Sparrow wallet sat live in the App Store. A phishing ad ranked above Trezor's own search result. BitBox audited itself with AI and found critical bugs.

The old advice was buy a device, write down your words, you're safe. That advice is dead.

In this episode we rebuild Bitcoin self custody from first principles with two people who do this for a living: Tony, founder of The Bitcoin Way, and Doctor Francesco Madonna, CEO of BitVault. They agree on the diagnosis and they disagree, sharply, on the cure. Tony will not allow a third party anywhere near a setup. Francesco's design puts a co-signing key with a service and enforces spending delays on chain. We put that disagreement on the table instead of around it.

We also build the actual 2026 process, step by step: ordering a hardware wallet without your home address ending up in the next breach, generating and verifying entropy, passphrase structure, when single sig plus passphrase beats multisig, two of three across multiple vendors, on chain time delays, descriptor backups, and the recovery rehearsal almost nobody runs.

The Wealthy Are Sitting Ducks For What's Coming (It Will Cost Everything) | Steven Franssen

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 18:26:39 GMT

The wealthy are sitting ducks. Steven Franssen says most of them do not even realize it.

Steven Franssen returns for his third appearance on the show to break down why the newly minted decamillionaires of the last decade have no sound economic footing, why the political chaos in Washington is quietly setting up the largest wealth transfer in modern history, and why $1 million Bitcoin might be the trap that costs complacent wealthy people everything.

Here is what we cover:

• The Coldcard hack and why the only people protected were the ones who used the randomizing function nobody thought they needed

• The ethics of white hat hackers sweeping vulnerable funds and what happens to victims now

• Bitcoin governance and consensus explained through the lens of a limited state and voluntary reputation-based society

• The PPP loan fraud nobody has to pay back and what it reveals about who the rules actually apply to

• Why the great mistake wealthy people are making right now is taking the current situation for granted

• Trump's broken promises beyond Ross Ulbricht, the meme coin controversy, and why the Iran war directly suppressed the Bitcoin price

• Why Scott Bessent's oil price magic trick has held so far and how long that can possibly last

• The generational wealth transfer nobody is talking about and why BlackRock is positioned to inherit what the boomers built

• The DSA, downwardly mobile elites, and why hardline ideologies are gaining ground on both extremes

• Flock cameras, the surveillance state, and the first real grassroots pushback against it in years

• Why the 2026 midterms could hand Bitcoin its biggest bull case yet regardless of who wins

• Why Bitcoin becomes more important, not less, as trillions get printed into the AI trade

• Closing thoughts on individual change, moral progress, and where Steven finds hope right now

This is one of the most wide-ranging and unfiltered political and macro conversations you will find on Bitcoin News this year.

The Last 2 Weeks Exposed Something Very Disturbing About Bitcoin (I Was Wrong) | Bob Burnett

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:30:12 GMT

Bob Burnett just confirmed the thing most Bitcoiners did not want to hear. BIP-110 did not fail because of the miners. It failed because Wall Street, the exchanges, and Strategy said no.

He watched it happen live from his couch, already certain of the outcome since June. Now he is back with the most candid insider account you will hear anywhere: what actually went down at Ocean, why the suits and the custodians decided this fight before a single block was mined, and why the social layer wound from this may take far longer to heal than the technical one ever did.

Here is what we cover:

• The moment an Ocean-mined block appeared on both sides of the chain split at the exact same time

• Why Bob believes BIP110 was never close to succeeding despite the hype in the final weeks

• Why he does not agree that miners control Bitcoin and why the real story is about exchanges, custodians, and user demand

• How Antpool and Foundry effectively decided the outcome and why Foundry giving clients a binary choice mattered enormously

• The Roughnecks group spending roughly half a million dollars a day renting hash rate to keep BIP110 alive

• What actually happens to the abandoned BIP110 chain now, including a hard fork, a new hashing algorithm, and a new difficulty level

• An inside look at the division within Ocean itself between the three camps, and how Ocean built dual-template infrastructure to give miners a real choice

• The full explanation of Ocean's 0.3 BTC refund to users who were signaling for BIP110 without realizing it

• Why Bob compares the split to a divorce and calls for empathy and healing on both sides of the community

• What comes next for Ocean, including the new Portal product, SOC 2 compliance, and a renewed push for decentralized block production

• A first look at a brand new BIP Bob is working on and the open questions around how any future Bitcoin upgrade should be proposed and activated

This is one of the most honest and firsthand accounts of the BIP110 fork you will find anywhere.

Wall Street Has Taken Control of Bitcoin (And There’s No Going Back) | Rod Palmer & Coinicarus

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 17:54:04 GMT

LIVE 🔴— The battle for Bitcoin is OVER.

The Bitcoin Red Team. The Bitcoin Security Consortium. The failure of BIP-110. Something has shifted in Bitcoin and most people have not clocked it yet.

Coinicarus and Rod join the show live to ask the question a lot of Bitcoiners are quietly thinking but not saying out loud. Have the suits taken control of freedom money? And if they have, is there any going back?

Here is what we get into:

Why the Bitcoin Security Consortium and the Bitcoin Red Team signal a new phase of institutional control over Bitcoin infrastructure

Why BIP-110 failed and what that failure actually reveals about who holds real power in Bitcoin governance today

Whether Wall Street money and corporate treasury companies have fundamentally changed the character of Bitcoin

Whether this shift is inevitable maturation or a genuine threat to what made Bitcoin different in the first place

What Bitcoiners who care about sovereignty and decentralization should actually be watching for next

This is a live conversation, so expect it to get heated. Freedom money was never supposed to have a boardroom. Now it might.

Bitcoin Isn't Just Killing The Dollar — It's Killing Democracy | Prince Filip & CTO of Jan3

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 17:19:35 GMT

In the wake of the Coldcard exploit Alex Bragan, CTO of Jan3, and Prince Filip, Chief Strategy Officer of Jan3, join the show to look at the future of Bitcoin, whether self-custody survives and if this is the start of the end for the sovereign individual or the beginning of a radical new form of government and global politics.

They also break down what happened how AI is rocking the Bitcoin world for bad (and good), and why they believe we are witnessing its anti-fragility in action.

They also cover the newly released B20 report ranking every country on Bitcoin adoption, why Prince Filip believes monarchies might be the future of good governance, and why the energy side of Bitcoin mining is the most exciting frontier for the rest of the decade.

Here is what we cover:

• Why AI is now being used by black hat hackers to probe critical Bitcoin infrastructure and why Boltz had to shut down

• Prince Filip's own close call with the Coldcard exploit while on vacation and why older firmware saved him

• Why going from open source to source available is what actually caused this entire problem

• The ethics of white hat hackers preemptively draining vulnerable wallets before criminals can

• Why the 25th word BIP-39 passphrase protected many people during this exploit and why you need one

• How Aqua Wallet generates entropy and what additional randomness sources are coming

• Why Bitcoin cannot be frozen but can be made harder to spend and why exchanges rejecting stolen coins matters

• The new B20 report ranking every country on Bitcoin adoption and why the US takes the top spot largely due to seized coins

• Why the UK ranks surprisingly high and what that reveals about the scoring methodology

• Why Bhutan is one of the best examples of practical nation state Bitcoin usage today

• Why Prince Filip believes Switzerland's federated cantonal system is the best functioning democracy in the world

• The case for monarchy 2.0 and why Liechtenstein's monarch retaining veto power tells you something important about stability

• How Bitcoin mining is quietly starting an energy renaissance, from stranded solar to communist-era district heating systems

• Why AI could either massively expand personal freedom or become the ultimate surveillance tool for governments

This is one of the most wide-ranging conversations on Bitcoin security, geopolitics, and governance you'll find this year.

“The Sellers Are 100% Gone” — The Supply Squeeze Has Just Begun | Matt Hougan

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 17:03:45 GMT

The sellers are gone. Bitcoin shrugged at STRC dropping to 75 and the COLDCARD hack. It rallied when Saylor announced a Bitcoin sale.

Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, says those two moments told him everything he needed to know about where we are in the cycle.

In this conversation Matt breaks down why the Bitcoin bottom is probably in, why the institutional supply squeeze has only just begun, why financial advisors pulled Bitcoin off statements at the end of Q2 and quietly bought it back on July 1st, and why Strategy is entering a very different phase than the one that made it famous.

Here is what we cover:

• Why Bitcoin shrugging at bad news is the single best indicator that the bottom is in

• The Q2 to Q3 flow reversal that caught Matt completely off guard and what it reveals about financial advisor behavior

• Why only 5 to 10% of ETF holders sold during a 50% drawdown and what that says about the conviction of the people who actually own it

• Why institutional ownership of Bitcoin ETFs is on its way from 20% to 60% and what happens to the price when it gets there

• Why the four year cycle is not dead but institutions are living in a 10 year super cycle and how both can be true at the same time

• Why BIP110 has not penetrated institutional circles at all and why Matt thinks that is a good thing

• The Bitcoin Security Consortium from BlackRock Fidelity and Strategy and why Matt thinks the mercenary reason for it is actually fine

• Why quantum comes up in every institutional meeting as a blocker to allocation and what actually convinces them to move forward anyway

• Strategy 2.0 explained and why the easy button phase is over and the managerial skill phase has begun

• Why STRC is a retail led phenomenon and what would need to change for institutions to take it seriously

• The hardest question Matt would ask Saylor on the earnings call today

• Why the next cycle catalyst is stablecoins and tokenization and why Bitcoin gets a free lift from all of it

• Why Bitwise officially forecasts Bitcoin at 1.3 million by 2035 and why Matt thinks that is probably conservative

This is one of the most grounded and data-driven takes on where Bitcoin stands right now from someone who does 15,000 institutional meetings a year.

The COLDCARD Hack Did NOT Mark The Bitcoin Bottom | Ben Cowen

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 14:36:00 GMT

The Coldcard hack was devastating. But Ben Cowen says it did not mark the bottom. And he has the data to show exactly why.

Ben Cowen joins the show to break down why the price barely moved after one of the worst security events in Bitcoin history, why 2026 is tracking 2018 almost perfectly, and why the real bottom is still ahead, likely triggered by a stock market correction in September.

He also pulls no punches on Saylor, the treasury company model, Bitcoin conferences, and why the industry completely lost its way this cycle.

Here is what we cover:

• Why the Coldcard hack did not move the Bitcoin price and what that actually signals about where we are in the cycle

• How 2026 is tracking 2018 almost perfectly and why that means the real bottom has not happened yet

• Why Ben expects a 10 to 20 percent stock market correction in September and why that will be the catalyst for the Bitcoin cycle low

• The social interest data showing Bitcoin engagement is now lower than it was in 2022 and closer to 2018 levels

• Why Saylor selling Bitcoin is not about the amount but about the message it sends and what it means for Strategy long term

• Why Ben has zero confidence in STRC and why once a peg breaks it never fully recovers its trust

• Why the Bitcoin conference has become a treasury company promotional event and why that is antithetical to everything Bitcoin stands for

• Why Bitcoin treasury companies that exist solely to raise money and buy Bitcoin are no different from the altcoin founders they used to mock

• Why narrative always follows price and why we will all find a reason for the drop after it happens

• Why the ETFs have actually been declining in holdings in recent months and what that tells you about the state of retail participation

• How the 30 year Treasury yield being higher now than when rates were at 5.5 percent proves the Fed does not control the long end of the curve

• Ben's own conference in Miami on November 21st and why he built it around having a rational market discussion without booing dissenting views off stage

This is one of the most honest and unfiltered conversations about where Bitcoin actually stands right now.

Bitcoin STILL Under AI Attack - Who's Next | Seth for Privacy

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 18:21:42 GMT

The Coldcard hack was just the beginning. New vulnerabilities have now been found in Boltz and multiple other wallets. And the people building the tools you use every day say the attack surface is growing faster than the community can patch it.

Seth for Privacy from Cake Wallet, Danny from Breez, and PretyFlaco from Blink Wallet join the show to break down the latest wave of Bitcoin security failures, who is still vulnerable, and why the intersection of AI and Bitcoin attacks may be the most dangerous development in the sixteen year history of this network.

Here is what we cover:

The new vulnerabilities found in Boltz and other popular wallets after the Coldcard hack and what they mean for your stack

Who is still at risk right now and why the blast radius is much wider than most people realize

Whether these attacks are isolated incidents or part of a coordinated long-game operation targeting Bitcoin holders

How AI is changing the nature of Bitcoin attacks and why the old security playbook is no longer enough

What the future of self-custody looks like in a world where AI can probe for vulnerabilities faster than humans can find them

Whether Cake Wallet, Breez, and Blink are safe and what each team has done in response to the new threat landscape

How these attacks are going to ripple into every other industry that relies on cryptographic security

The hierarchy of Bitcoin security in 2026 and what has fundamentally changed in the last few weeks

What every single Bitcoin holder needs to do right now regardless of which wallet or hardware device they use

What Bitcoin security needs to look like going forward and how the community adapts before the next wave hits

The biggest black swan in sixteen years of Bitcoin is not over. This conversation is required listening for anyone who holds Bitcoin.

MORE BITCOIN WALLETS EXPOSED - Do Not Assume You're Safe | Jameson Lopp

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 20:05:02 GMT

The COLDCARD hack is still sending shockwaves through the Bitcoin community. But Jameson Lopp and Nick Neuman say the bigger question is not what just happened. It is what is coming next.

In this conversation we bring in two of the most respected voices in Bitcoin security to break down who is actually vulnerable, what every Bitcoin holder needs to do right now, and whether this attack was the beginning of something much larger and more coordinated than anyone wants to admit.

Here is what we cover:

Are more hacks on the way and what the latest on-chain signals are already suggesting

Who is vulnerable outside of COLDCARD users and why assuming you are safe is the most dangerous thing you can do right now

Whether the COLDCARD hack could have been a retirement attack, a coordinated long-game operation designed to hit the people with the largest and oldest stacks

The hierarchy of Bitcoin security in 2026 and whether everything we thought we knew just changed

What every Bitcoin holder needs to do immediately regardless of which hardware wallet they use

Why Saylor selling went almost completely unnoticed while the community was focused elsewhere

"July 31st Everything Collapses" — Astrologer's Insane Bitcoin Foreshadowing (Not What You Think)

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 20:36:29 GMT

It is time to start taking this seriously.

Adam Sommer is a professional astrologer with nearly 20 years of experience and a Bitcoiner for almost a decade. Earlier this year, he spent an entire class series telling students that late July 2026 could be the beginning of a major financial reckoning. He predicted this weeks before the COLCARD hack shook the Bitcoin world.

The details were not identical. But the timing was. And when you look at the convergence of cycles he was tracking, it is very hard to call it a coincidence.

In this conversation, Adam breaks down why Bitcoin has a birth chart, why the 18.6 year nodal cycle is the most reliable indicator he has ever found, and why Bitcoin is about to hit its first nodal return, a cycle that has predicted every major real estate and financial crisis for a century.

Here is what we cover:

• Why Adam called late July 2026 as the beginning of a potential 2008-style reckoning and how that prediction came true before we even hit record

• What the minor grand trine is and why a French astrologer predicted it would mark the birth of a new civilization back in the 1990s

• Why the Bitcoin four year cycle is probably just a coincidence astrologically but the 18.6 year nodal cycle is anything but Bitcoin's birth chart explained, why January 3rd 2009 in London is the date most astrologers use and what it reveals right now

• Why Saturn and Neptune coming together every 36 years reshapes the world and why the last time it happened the World Wide Web was born

• Why Bitcoin is the only 24 hour free market left and why Adam uses it as his truth gauge for the entire global economy

• Why Adam does not trust Saylor and has never owned MSTR, and the reason he thinks the STRC preferreds are a distraction from everything Bitcoin was built for

• The Jack Mallers and 21 Capital situation and why Adam thinks Tether quietly took over

• Why AI agents are going to need Bitcoin and Lightning to transact and why that is already baked into the charts

• The quantum FUD reframe, why if quantum ever breaks Bitcoin everything else is already destroyed

• Why the BIP110 civil war and the August 8th mandatory signaling period may be astrologically linked to the eclipse on August 12th

• What Adam sees coming for Bitcoin in the next quarter and why relative strength in a collapsing tech market may be the most important signal right now

If you have ever dismissed astrology, this conversation will at minimum make you wonder.

The Death of Bitcoin Self-Custody — What Happens After COLDCARD? | Zach Herbert, Michael Tanguma, Josh Groth

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 19:23:34 GMT

EMERGENCY: Your COLDCARD Seed May Be Broken. Here Is What To Do

Coinkite has disclosed a firmware bug that caused COLDCARD hardware wallets to generate seed phrases without proper randomness. Roughly 594 BTC, about 38 million dollars, was swept from nearly 500 wallets in a handful of blocks. If you generated a seed on a COLDCARD, act before you finish watching.

The most important thing to understand: the firmware hotfix protects new seeds only. It does not repair a seed that was already created on vulnerable firmware. Updating your device does not make you safe. Migrating to a new seed does.

WHO IS AFFECTED

COLDCARD Mk3 running firmware 4.0.1 through 5.0.3: Coinkite estimates the effective search space at roughly 40 bits instead of the intended 128. Treat these seeds as at risk and migrate now.

COLDCARD Mk4, Mk5, and Q: additional entropy from the secure elements put these at roughly 72 bits, better than Mk3 but still below the 128-bit target. Coinkite advises updating to firmware 5.6.0 (Mk4 and Mk5) or 1.5.0Q (Q), then generating a completely new seed.

Seeds protected by a strong, unique BIP-39 passphrase, or created with at least 99 independent dice rolls, are at minimal risk according to Coinkite's early analysis.

TAPSIGNER, OPENDIME, and SATSCARD are not affected. They use a different codebase.

IMPORTANT

Coinkite has not confirmed that the on-chain sweep was caused by this bug. Researchers consider it the most plausible explanation, and the investigation is ongoing. No COLDCARD device was physically breached, no PIN was defeated, and no secure element was broken. This is a seed generation flaw.

Never enter your seed phrase into any website or tool claiming to check whether you are vulnerable. Expect scam checkers to appear. Migrate calmly, verify your wallet fingerprint, and send a small test transaction before moving the rest.

Insiders Are Manipulating Twitter To Kill Bitcoin's Price On Purpose | Michael Sullivan & Adrian Morris

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 19:02:48 GMT

Someone is paying to manipulate your Bitcoin timeline. And most people scrolling through it have absolutely no idea it is happening.

Michael Sullivan reads the language of Bitcoin Twitter. He says desire, the emotion most closely correlated with bull market tops, is at its lowest level in eight years. Adrian Morris reads the options market and the financial data itself. He says sentiment is being manufactured in real time by accounts working on behalf of hedge funds and short sellers.

Today they reveal they are merging their work into a single model. And they explain exactly who is paying to move the algos and why it is working.

Here is what we cover:

• Why desire is at an eight-year low on Bitcoin Twitter and what that has historically signaled about cycle position

• How Adrian reads sentiment directly from financial data instead of language and why that is a fundamentally different signal

• Why narrative leads price rather than follows it and the data that proves it

• Why Saylor is not the problem, he is just the gravitational pull point for a community that was already angry

• The capitalist cohort of Bitcoiners is trending up in conviction while the fundamentalist cohort is trending down and why that matters

• Who is paying to run bot armies against MSTR and Bitcoin on X and how the manipulation actually works at the algo level

• Why moving the algorithm by half a percent matters enormously when you are running a thirty million dollar position

• How large accounts with huge followings are knowingly being used to manufacture narratives for hedge fund entries and exits

• Why the X algo change has amplified bots and noise rather than genuine sentiment

• Whether price going back up will reunite the Bitcoin community or whether the fractures are now permanent

• Why both guests think the Bitcoin community has never really been one unified thing and never will be

• How to use AI to scale your thinking rather than just outsource it

This is one of the most forensic and unflinching looks at what is actually driving Bitcoin sentiment you will find anywhere.

Bitcoin Could Split In 15 Days — How To Protect Your Stack | Wicked & Portland Hodl

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 18:58:58 GMT

Bitcoin could split in 15 days. And most people have no idea what that actually means for their stack.

Wicked Smart Bitcoin and Portland Hodl join the show to give you the most clear-eyed, technically grounded breakdown of what is happening with BIP110, what you need to do before August 8th, and why both of them think this fork is going to fail miserably — and why that is actually bullish for Bitcoin.

Here is what we cover:

• Should you move your Bitcoin around August 8th — the practical answer with no hype

• The single most important distinction in this entire debate: policy vs consensus, and why most people arguing about it have never had it explained clearly

• Why Bitcoin Core version 30 changed the rules at school but did not change the laws of physics

• The eight rules of BIP110 broken down one by one — which ones are fine and which ones Wicked calls his deal breakers

• Why the 55% activation threshold is almost comically low and why it almost guarantees a chain split

• Why stopping spam on Bitcoin is a cat and mouse game you can never win at the consensus level

• The role of fees as the only real defense against spam and why monetary adoption is the long-term answer

• Whether we will see an airdrop of BIP110 coins and where you could even sell them if we did

• Why Portland says we will know within the first hour of mandatory signaling whether this fork succeeds

• Who actually governs Bitcoin and what this fight reveals about how consensus forms and fails

• Why BIP110 failing would be one of the most bullish things that could happen for Bitcoin right now

This is the calmest and most technically grounded conversation you will find on this topic anywhere.

Everyone Calling For A Bitcoin Bottom In October Is WRONG | Sina Bitcoin Intelligence

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 19:33:34 GMT

Sina, the analyst behind Bitcoin Intelligence and the man who helped popularize the power law, the quantile bands, and the momentum model, is back for his first interview in over a year.

Last time he was on, he said the $250K calls for 2025 were dangerously overextended. Bitcoin topped at $126K in October and is now down over 50%. He nailed it. Now he is back to tell you what his models are saying right now, why two of them currently disagree, and what actually needs to happen to end this bear market.

Here is what we get into:

• How Sina called the October top when the entire market was screaming $200K to $250K

• Why this bear market hit harder than even he expected and the hidden leverage that caused it

• The three headwinds holding Bitcoin back that almost no one is talking about

• How AI drained the development capital that used to build on Bitcoin and what that means for adoption

• Why falling inflation could be the single catalyst that ends the bear market

• The counterintuitive truth about why Bitcoin rips when inflation falls and not when it rises

• The power law chart showing Bitcoin at its most undervalued position ever recorded

• The VPLI chart quantifying exactly how oversold Bitcoin is right now

• The quantile model showing Bitcoin at the lowest band in years and what that means for DCA

• The momentum model explained and why it is still flashing red despite the recent bounce from $58K

• How to balance the quantile deep value signal against the momentum red signal

• How to know if you are overallocated and the single best sign to watch for

• Why following influencers into leverage trades is one of the worst financial decisions you can make

• How Sina called out Bitcoin treasury companies a year ago when it got him attacked and unfollowed

• The preferred stock math that proved the treasury model was structurally flawed from day one

• What Saylor got right, where he went wrong, and why the narrative shift from sound money to paper products is a problem

• Why spending Bitcoin is not the enemy of Bitcoin and the fallacy Saylor promotes

• What Bitcoin actually needs to return to all time highs and why it cannot happen on speculation alone

Self-Custody Bitcoin Will Be Dead In 3 Years | NVK

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 18:42:26 GMT

Real Bitcoin self-custody is under a major attack, and the window for normal people to own absolute sovereign UTXOs is closing faster than you think.

In this wide-ranging episode, host Rob Wallace sits down with NVK, the founder of Coinkite and creator of the legendary Coldcard, to unpack the dark reality facing Bitcoiners today. From skyrocketing targeted physical attacks and draconian DAC8 reporting laws in Europe to the distraction of financialized yield products, NVK warns that we are entering a era of "second-class citizens" for those who refuse to take absolute responsibility for their stacks.

We also dive deep into the highly contested BIP 110 fork debate, why NVK isn't losing sleep over quantum computing threats, and how AI serves as a 1,000x multiplier that everyone must learn to leverage alongside sound money. Finally, NVK shares his deeply contrarian take on raising children in a hyper-connected world and why letting your kids experience true boredom is the secret to unlocking the next generation of geniuses.

Saylor Selling Was The Bottom… Things Are About To Get Very Violent For Bitcoin | Jamie Coutts

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 22:17:03 GMT

Michael Saylor just sold 3,588 BTC — and macro analyst Jaime Coutts explains why it may mark the Bitcoin bottom, not the top.

Bitcoin just suffered one of its most controversial corrections yet—but according to him, this bear market is unlike any we’ve seen before.

In this interview, he explains why Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin sale may have removed a major overhang from the market, why Bitcoin has diverged from global liquidity for the first time in years, and why AI—not monetary policy—is absorbing the world’s capital. Jamie also shares why he believes Bitcoin is approaching a major inflection point over the next 12–18 months.

We also dive into debt, liquidity, quantum computing, AI agents, China’s economy, and why Bitcoin’s long-term fundamentals may be stronger than ever despite the current price action.

Strategy Going To $5T OR Zero? | Pio & Grain of Salt

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 18:50:53 GMT

LIVE 🔴 There may be no company on Earth with a more efficient system for creating shareholder value than Strategy.

No factories. No supply chains. No inventory. No commodity exposure. Just a high-margin software business combined with a Bitcoin acquisition engine that may be rewriting the rules of corporate finance entirely.

Pio and Grain of Salt (@BTCTrueNorth) join the show to make the case that the market still does not understand what Strategy actually is, why this ends at either a multi-trillion-dollar company or nothing, and why Michael Saylor could become the richest man alive if the thesis plays out.

🟣 Plays SatsDrop from Rhino and win FREE Bitcoin today 👉 https://bit.ly/3Sndb1T

Here is what we get into:

Why Strategy's business model is structurally different from almost every other public company on earth

Whether Bitcoin eliminates the core risks that destroy traditional asset-heavy businesses

How Strategy creates shareholder value without factories, inventory, or physical infrastructure

Why the market is still fundamentally mispricing MSTR and what it is missing

The $5 trillion or zero thesis and what has to happen for each outcome

Why Saylor's Bitcoin acquisition strategy may be the most capital-efficient model ever built

Whether this is just a leveraged Bitcoin play or a genuinely new blueprint for corporate capital allocation

The long-term opportunity for MSTR shareholders that almost no one is properly modeling

This is one of the most detailed breakdowns of the Strategy thesis you will find anywhere.

AOC Will Send Bitcoin To $1M — Here's The Math | Dave Weisberger

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 19:32:22 GMT

Almost every Bitcoiner thinks a Democrat in the White House is bad for Bitcoin. Dave Weisberger says they have it completely backwards. And he has the math to prove it.

Dave Weisberger, market structure expert, co-founder of CoinRoutes, and author of the upcoming Wiley book Million Dollar Frat Boys, joins the show to break down why a President AOC scenario could be the single greatest catalyst Bitcoin has ever seen, why the MSTR death spiral crowd is dead wrong, and why Bitcoin is one of the most underpriced assets on the planet right now.

Here is what we get into:

Why AOC becoming president would be the most bullish event in Bitcoin history and the math behind it

How Gary Gensler and Elizabeth Warren accidentally created the perfect conditions for Trump's meme coin billions

Why the Trump meme coin disclosure changes almost nothing about where crypto regulation is headed

The real reason October 10th happened and why it was likely a coordinated momentum ignition attack

Why no one should be surprised that MSTR dropped 75% when Bitcoin dropped 50%

The difference between Strategy common stock, STRC, and what each one actually is

Why Dave thinks STRC was marketed incorrectly and who it should actually have been sold to

Why the Satoshi wallet quantum threat is wildly overblown and why recovering those coins might actually be bullish

New York City rent freezes, socialism creeping into America, and what it means for hard money assets

Why Bitcoin is still trading at well under 5% probability of becoming digital gold despite everything that has changed

How agentic AI commerce could become one of the most powerful tailwinds Bitcoin has ever had

Why adoption is the only catalyst that matters and why Dave thinks we are already past the point of no return

"Companies Won't Need People" — The AI Blackpill No One Is Ready To Hear | Fernando Nikolic

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 19:04:02 GMT

You have roughly 18 months before AI permanently separates the builders from everyone else. Fernando Nikolic, former VP at Blockstream and now a profitable AI solo founder, says most people including most Bitcoiners are going to end up on the wrong side of that line.

In this conversation we get into the permanent underclass, the dying Bitcoin culture, the chaos gap we are all living through, and the forensic analysis Fernando ran using 17 AI sub-agents through five years of Michael Saylor's public communications that found something deeply disturbing about how the STRC launch was engineered.

Here is what we cover:

• What the permanent underclass actually means and why you only have 18 months to escape it

• What it is like to run a fully profitable business where all your employees are AI agents

• Why AI psychosis is real and how Fernando pulled himself back from the edge of it

• Why taste and voice are the last human advantages that AI cannot replicate

• How the Gutenberg printing press, Bitcoin, and AI are all doing the exact same thing to different institutions

• Why AI is homogenizing the web and what that means for anyone trying to build a brand

• The forensic analysis of five years of Saylor's communications and what it reveals about how STRC was engineered

• Why Strategy selling 700 Bitcoin in 2022 moved markets less than selling 32 Bitcoin in 2026

• What Perception is, what it does, and how companies are already using it to track narrative shifts in real time

• Why BIP-110 is failing to break out of the Bitcoin echo chamber and what it would take to change that

• Why this bear market has the worst memes and most uninspired content of any bear market Fernando can remember

• Why the Bitcoin and AI symbiosis is the only narrative that can drive the next wave of real adoption

We Just Entered Stage 3. This Is Exactly When Bitcoin Bottoms. | Ben Cowen

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 19:15:50 GMT

Back in the fall of 2025, when almost everyone was calling for a final blow off top above $200K, Ben Cowen said the opposite. The top is in. A year long bear market is coming. Nine months later, he has been proven right.

Now he is back to give you the exact price target, the exact month he has circled on his calendar, and why the biggest Bitcoin treasury company on earth bleeding out might just be the thing that finally ends this bear market.

Here is what we get into:

• How Ben called the October top when everyone else was calling for $200K

• Why the four year cycle remains undefeated and why it has nothing to do with the halving

• The three stages of a bear market and why we just entered stage three

• Why October keeps showing up in the data no matter which indicator you use

• The MicroStrategy chart from last cycle that points to the exact same week in 2026

• Why the realized price at $53K and the balanced price at $38K are the two levels to watch

• Why the 200 day moving average is resistance until 2027

• How volume spikes have ended every prior bear market and why we have not seen one yet

• Why narratives follow price and not the other way around

• Why a stock market correction in August or September could be the catalyst that unlocks rate cuts

• Why the people who end bear markets are always forced sellers, not willing ones

• Why social interest in Bitcoin is down 10x from the 2021 peak and what that tells you about timing

• Why Ben is already okay with starting to accumulate at current prices

He is not a perma bear. He is just following the data. And the data says October.

The Bitcoin Bear Market Nobody Prepared You For | Will Reeves

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 20:24:42 GMT

Bitcoin is down 50 percent. Stocks are at all time highs. The preferred shares sold as money market alternatives are trading 25 percent below par. And the man who said he would never sell Bitcoin just sold Bitcoin, causing a deep bear market in both crypto and MicroStrategy.

Will Reeves, CEO of Fold, has been building in Bitcoin for over a decade. He has been through every bear market. And he says this one feels different. Not because Bitcoin is broken, but because for the first time, the whole world is watching.

Here's what we get into:

• Why this bear market feels different to a decade-long Bitcoin builder

• Whether the four year cycle is truly undefeated and what that means for where we go next

• The real story behind the preferred shares down 25 percent and who actually bought them

• Why Saylor's transparency was one of his greatest assets and how the last few months have challenged that

• Whether Strategy having 850,000 Bitcoin is a risk to the entire market

• How gold took decades to emerge from the derivatives games played on top of it and why Bitcoin could face the same thing

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 18:20:15 GMT

Most Bitcoiners Will End Up Broke — Why 78% Losing Everything | Grant Cardone

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:16:53 GMT

Grant Cardone says the biggest financial lie ever told is: “Save your money.”

While most people are taught to save cash, Grant argues that cash is constantly losing purchasing power and that the wealthy play a completely different game. Instead of saving, they acquire assets, use debt strategically, and convert fiat into things they believe will outperform inflation.

In this interview, Grant breaks down:

• Why saving money can actually make you poorer

• The difference between scarcity and abundance thinking

• How wealthy people use debt differently

• Why he is bullish on Bitcoin

• The Bitcoin + real estate strategy he believes could change investing

• The biggest mistakes investors make

• How AI, Bitcoin, and hard assets could reshape wealth creation

Whether you agree with him or not, Grant’s views on money, Bitcoin, investing, and entrepreneurship challenge almost everything most people have been taught.

They Are Forcing The Final Melt Up Before A Crash Bigger Than 2008 | John Gillen

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 19:32:30 GMT

The Dow just hit a record high above 52,000. Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in history. And Bitcoin is sitting 50% off its high with some of the worst sentiment on record. So are we in the mother of all bubbles?

Former BlackRock VP John Gillen, host of @MilkRoadMacro , joins Bitcoin News to break down one of the strangest macro setups in years. Record highs in the indices, a brutal grind in Bitcoin, an AI IPO frenzy led by SpaceX at a 1.77 trillion dollar valuation on a company that lost roughly 5 billion dollars last year, and Kevin Warsh stepping in for his first FOMC meeting as Fed Chair with inflation ticking back up.

John recently sat down with macro analyst Henrik Zeberg, who argues this is a final blow-off top before a deflationary crash that could rival 2008. We pressure test that thesis from every angle and ask where John actually stands.

In this episode:

🔶 Are we in the biggest bubble in history, and how close are we to the end of it

🔶 Is the AI trade real, and does the SpaceX IPO mark the top

🔶 Is Bitcoin a safe haven, or the canary in the coal mine

🔶 Why is Bitcoin sentiment so poor while the indices print records

🔶 The case for hard assets as sovereign debt goes parabolic

🔶 How an ex-BlackRock insider is positioned right now

Retire On WAY Less Bitcoin Than You Think By 2030 [6.15 BTC Is NOT The Answer] | Trey Sellers

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:28:48 GMT

Everyone asks how much Bitcoin they need to retire. Almost no one asks if they actually have a plan to get there.

Trey Sellers of Unchained and FireBTC joins the show to break down the retirement math Wall Street uses, why Bitcoin completely rewrites the equation, and how a focused four-year stacking sprint could put ordinary people on a path to financial independence decades earlier than they ever thought possible.

Here's what we cover:

• Why 6.15 BTC is the meme answer and what the real answer actually depends on

• The 4% rule explained and why Bitcoin lets you apply an 8% withdrawal rate instead

• Why selling your stocks first and letting your Bitcoin run longer is the smarter withdrawal order

• The four-year stacking sprint — why front-loading your effort early has a compounding impact that nothing else can replicate

• Why someone saving less but starting 10 years earlier will end up far wealthier than someone saving more and starting late

• How every extra 1% allocated to Bitcoin increases total portfolio returns by 9.6%

• Why the fire movement has a blind spot that Bitcoin fixes — and why Bitcoiners have a blind spot that fire frameworks fix

• The difference between good debt and bad debt and why paying off your mortgage early might be the worst financial decision you can make

• How to get spousal buy-in on a stacking sprint without sounding crazy

• The FireBTC Compass — a free privacy-first browser tool that runs your retirement numbers without sending your data anywhere

Most Bitcoiners know how to stack. Far fewer know when they have stacked enough. This video is for both.

Everyone Is Dead Wrong About Saylor and MSTR (No One Is Seeing This) | Dan Hillery

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 01:59:56 GMT

Everyone has Saylor's trade completely wrong. The bears think it's a Ponzi. The bulls think it's invincible. Dan Hilery says both sides are missing the actual numbers and the real story is more interesting than either of them.

Bitcoin is at $62,000. MSTR is trading where it was two years ago. STRC has broken its $100 par and is sitting in the low nineties. The shorts are piling in, put volume is three times the calls, and Peter Schiff is calling the whole thing a Ponzi.

But Dan Hilery says everyone is looking at this completely wrong. And he has the numbers to prove it.

Here's what we get into:

• Why the MSTR short thesis has a fatal flaw that almost no one is talking about

• How Strategy selling Bitcoin made headlines while the 50x buyback was barely mentioned

• Why STRC breaking par is not the death spiral signal the bears think it is

• What the put to call ratio actually tells you about positioning and why it could be the setup up for a violent short squeeze

• The real math behind Strategy's Bitcoin treasury model and why the numbers still work at $62,000

• Why this moment looks a lot more like a buying opportunity than a blowup

• What has to happen for MSTR to get back to all time highs — and why Dan thinks the catalyst is closer than most people think

• Why Peter Schiff has been calling this a Ponzi from the beginning and why he will be wrong again

• The shorts are the loudest they have ever been. Dan says that is exactly when you want to be paying attention.

Saylor Is Being Bankrupted On Purpose — And He Has No Clue | Tom Luongo

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 19:52:25 GMT

Tom Luongo has a theory that most Bitcoiners are not going to like. And he's got the data to back it up.

Bitcoin should be at $400,000 right now based on everything we were told. It's at $60,000. Tom says there's a reason for that. And once you understand it, the road to $1 million Bitcoin looks very different than the one most people are expecting.

Here's what we get into:

• Why Bitcoin hit $125,000 twice and went nowhere — and what that tells you about who is actually in control of the price

• Why Tom thinks the price of Bitcoin may be pre-negotiated and we are living through Bitcoin's version of gold's lost decade in the 2010s

• Why Scott Bessent would rather buy Bitcoin at $60,000 than $125,000 — and who has to go broke to make that happen

• Tom's spicy call: Michael Saylor (Chairman of MicroStrategy) goes bust before Bitcoin reaches $1 million — and his Bitcoin ends up on the US government's balance sheet

• Why Bitcoin only hits $1 million when the US Treasury has enough Bitcoin to balance the books

• Sovereignists vs globalists — how to make sense of every major geopolitical conflict right now through this single lens

• Why Trump going to war with Iran was not a betrayal — and who actually manufactured that narrative and why

• Why the oil crisis is already over and who has been painting the tape on the Brent Crude chart

• Why the dollar is being redollarized — not destroyed — and how Bitcoin and gold fit into that plan

• The end of Fed dominance and the rise of Treasury dominance — and what that means for every asset you own

• Why $15,000 gold, $400 silver, and $1 million Bitcoin are the numbers that balance America's books

This is one of the most different and challenging takes on Bitcoin you will hear all year. Whether you agree or not, you will not look at the market the same way afterward.

“This Is EXACTLY What THE BOTTOM Feels Like”… But Only 1% Will Get Rich | Samson Mow

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 20:03:21 GMT

Everything is ripping to all time highs. Bitcoin is sitting still. And then the headline hits — Saylor just sold Bitcoin. 32 of them.

Samson Mow has seen this movie before. And he's not selling.

In this conversation, Samson breaks down why this moment feels exactly like every other bottom in Bitcoin history, why the death spiral talk is the same FUD we heard about mining years ago, and why the road to $1 million Bitcoin is still the only rational conclusion when you look at the math.

Here's what we get into:

• Why Saylor selling 32 Bitcoin out of 843,000 is a feature, not a betrayal

• Why the MSTR death spiral theory makes the same mistake as the mining death spiral theory

• Why Samson thinks the four-year cycle is complete rubbish and what that means for timing your next move

• How Iran accepting Bitcoin as a toll through the Strait of Hormuz proves neutral money is for everyone, even your enemies

• Why everything that flows out of Bitcoin must flow back in, just like the tide

• How SpaceX, Anthropic, and the next wave of AI IPOs will eventually reach the same conclusion Saylor did

• Agentic Aqua — the Bitcoin wallet built for AI agents and why it could define agentic commerce

• Why Bitcoin Maxi posts on X are actually training data quietly pushing AI toward a Bitcoin standard

• Production Ready — the new nonprofit building a third Bitcoin client focused on conservatism, stability, and security

• Why the Clarity Act has almost nothing to do with Bitcoin and everything to do with banks vs stable coins

• Why $1 million Bitcoin by 2030 to 2032 is the only logical conclusion every model points to

It is not easy. But you just have to be patient.

“Bitcoin Won’t Warn You…” | Stacy Herbert & Max Keiser Expose BTC-AI Moves

Mon, 25 May 2026 17:02:33 GMT

El Salvador didn't just adopt Bitcoin. Now they're racing to own sovereign AI — and Max Keiser says Bitcoin is coiled and ready to explode.

Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert join the show to break down what's really being built in El Salvador and why it's bigger than anyone realizes. This isn't a Silicon Valley story. It's a Renaissance — and Bitcoin and AI are the twin engines driving it.

In this conversation, you'll hear:

• How El Salvador partnered with Elon Musk and Google to put frontier AI in the hands of every citizen

• Why universal basic access beats universal basic income — and what that means for the global south

• How the Bitcoin and AI revolutions are converging and why El Salvador is the proving ground

From murder capital to Bitcoin country to AI nation — this is what a real civilization upgrade looks like.

Nobody's Ready For What The Clarity Act Just Did To Bitcoin | Joe Consorti

Mon, 18 May 2026 15:59:42 GMT

The Clarity Act just changed everything for Bitcoin — and almost no one is talking about it.

Joe Consorti joins the show for a deep dive into why the Clarity Act could be the single biggest regulatory unlock in Bitcoin's history, and the chain of events it's about to set off on a global scale.

Here's what we cover:

• Why the Clarity Act could trigger a sovereign-level Bitcoin accumulation race — and which countries move first

• The Strait of Hormuz crisis: how a full closure could send oil past $200 a barrel — and why Wall Street is completely asleep at the wheel

• The inflationary time bomb quietly building beneath the surface of markets

• AI and the biggest productivity boom in history — why governments will be forced to print in response and how Bitcoin becomes the ultimate beneficiary

If you think Bitcoin's regulatory moment is already priced in, this conversation will change your mind.

The Oil Crisis Is Hiding a $4.5T Debt Bomb No One Can Pay | Infra

Sat, 09 May 2026 13:14:50 GMT

The Biggest Bubble Ever? | Infra Explains Why Markets Are Breaking Upwards, Debt Is Exploding & Bitcoin Could Hit $10M

In this macro deep dive, Rob Wallace sits down with market analyst Robert (@infraa_) to unpack what may be the most dangerous financial environment in modern history.

Despite war in the Middle East, soaring oil prices, record sovereign debt, and mounting stress in global credit markets, stocks continue ripping higher. Why?

"Everything Just Lined Up For Bitcoin" | Adam Back

Wed, 06 May 2026 16:53:03 GMT

Adam Back on Bitcoin's Quantum Defense, Satoshi's Identity, and the future of Bitcoin Treasury Companies

Dr. Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream and the inventor of Hashcash (cited in the Bitcoin whitepaper), joins Rob Wallace to dismantle the latest quantum panic, explain what real post-quantum security for Bitcoin looks like, and unveil the new Blockstream Jade hardware wallet.

Adam breaks down why Project 11's recent quantum claim was misleading (the state of the art is still factoring the number 15), how Blockstream Research is engineering a post-quantum future for Bitcoin with the SHRINCS signature proposal from Jonas Nick, and why Taproot was quietly designed years ago to be quantum-ready.

He also weighs in on the renewed Satoshi hunt sparked by the New York Times investigation and the new "Finding Satoshi" documentary, the state of Bitcoin self-custody, miniscript and PSBT, the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies including his own BSTR (Bitcoin Standard Treasury), MicroStrategy's STRC preferred shares, and what gets him most excited about Bitcoin in 2026.

Bitcoin Exposes the 800-Year Banking Scam | Jay Dyer

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:11:21 GMT

Jay Dyer: Bitcoin Is Ethical Money in a Spiritually Demonic Fiat System.

Philosopher and theologian Jay Dyer joins Rob Wallace to decode the all-seeing eye on the dollar, expose the Fabian socialist roots of the global banking and intelligence apparatus, and explain why Bitcoin is the only ethical, theft-proof exit from a rigged fiat regime.

Jay walks us through the hermetic symbolism on the $1 bill, the FDR-era push toward soft money, and the central thesis of Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope: medieval bankers built the original infinite money printer and never gave it up.

Then we go deep on the spiritual case for Bitcoin, the Keynesian fraud, CBDCs, the Epstein network, and what Bilderberg actually agreed on.

Saylor Just Built a Machine That Prints Bitcoin | British HODL

British HODL joins Rob Wallace live from Dubai to explain why Bitcoin is "such a done deal" he's barely bothering to talk about it anymore. We break down Michael Saylor's new STRC perpetual preferred, MSTR's path to 1 million Bitcoin, why every other treasury company is (in his words) a "shit bag," surviving 3,000+ missiles over the UAE, and why Satoshi's coins should never be touched.

British HODL (@BritishHodl) has been pounding the table on "Get to One Bitcoin" longer than almost anyone in the space. In this conversation he argues STRC is the iPhone moment for Strategy, explains why retail is already cooked, and makes the case for Bitcoin as the only asset worth owning in a multipolar world.

Quantum Computers Will Break Bitcoin? He Destroys The Hype | Guy Swann

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:56:48 GMT

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 15:56:58 GMT

Hyperinflation: Why the "End of the Dollar" Might Be Your Best Chance

Most people view hyperinflation as a total economic death sentence, but Axel (Financial Physics) argues that its impact depends entirely on the direction of the flow. In this interview, we move past the mainstream headlines to examine the "top-down" mechanics propping up fake equity and why a "bottom-up" reset might be the only way to restore the American middle class.

Why an Anti-Bitcoin President Is Better for Bitcoin | Knut Svanholm

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 16:10:02 GMT

Knut Svanholm discusses the state of Bitcoin in 2025, Bitcoin and government, and individual liberty.

Key Topics:

Bitcoin in 2025
Government and Bitcoin
Democracy and Individualism
Artificial Intelligence
Bitcoin Events in 2026

In this podcast, Knut Svanholm reflects on Bitcoin's performance in 2025 and the surprising internal struggles, particularly the Core vs Knots debate. He emphasizes the positive aspect of these conflicts, viewing them as signs of Bitcoiners' vigilance and willingness to fight for their principles. He draws parallels to the block size wars, noting that while such conflicts are unpleasant, they ultimately strengthen the system.

Svanholm discusses his concerns about the increasing coziness between Bitcoin and government, especially with a Bitcoin-friendly president. He argues that an anti-Bitcoin president might be preferable as it forces people to use Bitcoin correctly, maintaining anonymity and self-sovereignty. He believes that a crypto-friendly president could lead to complacency and government control over Bitcoin's definition.

Discussing democracy, Svanholm argues that it often leads to socialism and eventually totalitarianism, as it relies on the unethical principle of majority voting to take from the minority. He criticizes modern democracies for using money printers, which empower the state and postpone revolts by hiding taxes through inflation. He notes that elections favor collectivists and that governments often take credit for the free market's achievements. He advocates for individual control and using tools like Bitcoin and Noster to defund the government, which he believes is the best thing for humanity. Svanholm stresses the importance of individual action and understanding that the "we" thinking in democracies can be dangerous. He highlights that inflation is a lie that makes people believe prices should naturally rise, obscuring the reality that they should be falling due to increased efficiency.

Svanholm also touches on the accelerating rate of money printing needed to maintain the illusion of ever-increasing prices, especially with advancements like AI. He warns that if the world stays in fiat land, AI will centralize money and power, leading to an Orwellian future. He suggests that Europe is on a destructive path due to large bureaucratic machines and high taxes, and he expresses concern about the potential for increased government control. He compares his positive experiences in El Salvador to the suspicion he faces in Europe, underscoring the appeal of Bitcoin-friendly environments. He highlights the importance of understanding that government is not necessarily your friend and that Bitcoin challenges traditional worldviews. Svanholm notes that Bitcoin's value lies in its scarcity, provable security, and the financial cardiovascular system it creates among its users.

Svanholm discusses the role of AI in content creation, acknowledging its utility while emphasizing the importance of maintaining one's unique voice. He shares his perspective on AI's capabilities, suggesting that it can be a perfect slave but cannot possess its own agency or free will. He underscores that the positive, deflationary future associated with AI is dependent on the adoption of Bitcoin as a monetary system. He also discusses how AI can transform education by making learning more accessible and efficient, obsoleting traditional classroom settings. Svanholm shares his experiences visiting Bitcoin-friendly places like Lugano, El Salvador, and Madeira, highlighting the optimism and deeper conversations within these communities. He notes that Bitcoin adoption is more effective when driven by grassroots efforts rather than top-down initiatives. Knut shares his method for orange pilling newbies, which depends on the community he is in. He highlights the numerous Bitcoin conferences around the world and encourages people to attend them, citing events like Plan B Forum, Bitcoin Alive, and B2C Prague.
