"History shows us that when empires fall, there's going to be this old guard that's clawing for power that will use as much force and coercion as it can to sustain its life because the only thing they have to offer the world is debt and death. And when we are now those people that are trusted with this new parallel economy because of the money that we are adopting."

"If we look upon the history of the world, especially upon the history of England since 1865, we realize that Marx was wrong in every respect. There is no Western, capitalistic country in which the conditions of the masses have not improved in an unprecedented way. All these improvements of the last 80 or 90 years were made in spite of the prognostications of Karl Marx."

Hi, I’m Walker, the host of THE Bitcoin Podcast, AKA @titcoinpodcast.

I’m a family man, I’m a Bitcoiner, and, like most of you, I still have a job mining fiat so I can stack sats. You probably know my brilliant, stunning, and hilarious wife, Carla Bitcoin. We got our start in the Bitcoin space making short-form comedy, satire, and music videos. But since we had our incredible son, Apollo, Carla has taken a step back from content creation–and she was the real talent anyway–so I did what every Bitcoiner eventually does; I started a podcast.

"The trajectory of Bitcoin’s innovation and adoption will continue, with or without the active participation or understanding of any single nation. The question that remains is whether we will be leaders or laggards in this inevitable financial evolution." - Preston Pysh

Walker is joined by Aleks Svetski, an author, speaker and entrepreneur. He co-authored a fantastic book with Mark Moss called The Uncommunist Manifesto, a rebuttal to Marx and Engels The Communist Manifesto.

He’s also building Spirit of Satoshi, a Bitcoin-centric AI.

The conversation centers around Communism, Capitalism, Bitcoin and Energy. We unpack some of the misconceptions people have about both communism and capitalism, and talk about how to reframe these discussions. We also dig into how much communism has already infected our world, even here in the supposedly “capitalist” United States of America.

“The wave hasn't even come… we're just kind of like on the beach and the wave's kind of creeping up, but it's still so much liquidity that's going to come in.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Sam Callahan. Sam is a macro analyst who recently worked on a report with Lyn Alden called Bitcoin: A Global Liquidity Barometer, and we dig deep into this report today. But we also get into the next wave of Bitcoin adoption, the shifting Overton window around bitcoin, the US and global macro environment, fiscal dominance, fiat debasement, whether anything stops this train, the ponzi scheme of social security, and a whole lot more. Sam also just got married this weekend providing that while Bitcoin doesn’t help get you a girlfriend, it can help you find a wife.

"When Cypherpunks wrote that privacy is necessary in order to establish democratic society in digital age, that's a profound statement, because you do look at states in which people do not have privacy, they can't have freedom in the digital age."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with UNCLE ROCKSTAR.

We discuss the political landscape, the importance of privacy in the digital age, and the role of developers in creating freedom tech, the impact of social media algorithms on discourse, the potential of Nostr as a privacy-preserving protocol for open source development, and the necessity of building parallel systems to foster individual sovereignty.

"Bitcoin implicates the First Amendment. As a system for collecting and communicating information ranging from payment data to art, bitcoin is speech. As a statement of protest against the government’s monopoly over money, bitcoin is expressive conduct. And as a collection of individuals that share bitcoin’s hard-coded principles of individual liberty, anti-censorship, and anti-debasement, bitcoin is an expressive association.

Bitcoin is free speech protected by the First Amendment and therefore regulating bitcoin has clear constitutional implications."

“If you want to change the world, you start with the kids.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Jonny Vance, co-creator and writer of Tuttle Twins TV. If you’re not familiar with Tuttle Twins, it’s an educational animated children’s TV show that teaches kids principles of freedom, Austrian economics, and Bitcoin, all while being incredibly hilarious. Tuttle Twins makes complex topics easy to understand for children (and adults), while teaching them about history and encouraging critical thinking.

"I needed Bitcoin to defend myself against the State. Bitcoin is so powerful that it actually leveled the playing field between myself and the national election authority."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Carlos Toriello (aka Carliño) about Simple Proof and using Bitcoin + OpenTimeStamps to safeguard election integrity, which was exactly what happened in the 2023 national elections in Guatemala, where the government became the first in the world to implement an immutable backup based on Simple Proof.

"If someone wants to change Bitcoin in a way that is detrimental to even a minority of the Bitcoin users, they're probably going to be unsuccessful because there's going to be vehement pushback."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with MURCH. Murch is a computer scientist, engineer at Chaincode labs, co-host of Bitdevs and the Chaincode Podcast, and moderator of the bitcoin stack exchange, answering literally thousands of questions about Bitcoin over the years. Murch and I discuss the Bitcoin development process, changing vs maintaining Bitcoin, ossification, privacy trade-offs, address reuse, and potential improvements like silent payments, quantum resistance, bitcoin tail emissions, ZK Roll-Ups, covenants, and Layer 2 scalability solutions like Lightning, ecash, fedimint, etc, plus their trade-offs. Murch also reviews the upcoming Bitcoin Core 28 release and what it means for you.

“If Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and the big banks decided to gang up on Proton, they can still do the same thing to us today, right? So from that moment to today, I think I've always been the advocate of how can we get this powerful concept [Bitcoin] that enabled Proton to survive 10 years ago and make it more widespread and make it more common? Because I think the future of business, democracy, freedom, it really depends on this.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Andy Yen, the CEO and Founder of Proton. Not only does Proton offer encrypted email, VPN, file storage, and a password manager, but they recently announced they’re launching Proton Wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin-only wallet, which is currently in beta but will soon be available to their 100 million users worldwide.

"One bitcoin from a self-custody investor is basically infinitely more valuable in setting the price than thousands of bitcoin held elsewhere if they aren't able to sell that fork... that's one of the positive findings from our paper is that's actually a rather anti-fragile aspect of the network: that some of the most committed and smaller entities actually have kind of a disproportionate impact compared to some of those larger entities."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Lyn Alden and Steve Lee about their new report "Analyzing Bitcoin Consensus: Risks in Protocol Upgrades." This paper analyzes the process and risks of how Bitcoin upgrades its consensus rules over time, from a technical and economic perspective. If you’ve ever had questions about how Bitcoin consensus actually works, gotten confused by terms like “economic nodes,” wondered about who the real stakeholders are when it comes to bitcoin upgrades, or been curious about the game theoretical implications of large institutions and governments getting into Bitcoin, this episode is going to answer all your questions and more.

"Everyone just gets gravity. Everyone gets the protocol and we all live within that. And that's a rule without rulers. And I think Bitcoin is like gravity where it's just everyone gets free and open source money. Everyone gets programmable money, programmed and designed to maintain its purchasing power. And that's a rule."

We talk about Adam’s experience getting debanked by every bank in Canada, why fiat absolutely sucks, financial censorship, short-term fiat thinking vs long term bitcoin thinking, the political implications of separating money from state, the Bitcoiner ethos, family, why you need Bitcoin, and a whole lot more.

“I interviewed people from Western countries, USA, Sweden, Canada, but then Jamaica, double digit inflation, Argentina, triple digit inflation. Venezuela, quadruple-digit inflation. And all of this culminates in the understanding that this is what happens to money. You think in the U.S. that it's not going to get like this, but it will get like this… this has happened to every money in human history… It's just because they're printing more money, right?... If inflation is just because of money printing, what if there's a money that can't be printed?”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks the legendary Bitcoin Shooter. Shooter is an incredibly talented filmmaker and he’s about to release his biggest and best film yet: NO MORE INFLATION. We cover a lot in this episode to give you a deep dive into the filmmaking process, how he structured the film to talk about inflation first and bitcoin second, some stories of the wide range of people he interviewed to make the film, why we need this film now more than ever, and a whole lot more. I think you’re going to love this conversation and again, go to nomoreinflation.com to preorder the film which drops on November 21st.

"As Bitcoiners, we're supposed to have this long-term perspective. We're supposed to envision this world where things could be different. Value systems could be a realigned. We could shift the balance of power... we all want that, but it doesn't come by being passive. It only comes through building and it's up to us, up to you and I, up to the Bitcoiners listening to this show to go do that."

“It's not just Suriname… It's a chance to have Bitcoin be the unit of account. It's a chance to actually separate money from State.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Suriname Presidential Candidate Maya Parbhoe. Maya is a Bitcoiner and an entrepreneur first, and a politician second. We dig into a lot in this talk including her plans to make Bitcoin legal tender on day one, her vision for the future of Suriname, political corruption, government control, radical transparency, grassroots bitcoin adoption, why it is her goal to make herself, as the president, irrelevant, and a whole lot more. It is truly inspiring to see young, smart, and optimistic people like Maya running for political office.

"we're an unruly people. We're supposed to be unruly and free and dirty and unwashed and crass. That is the American ethic and ethos. Live free, baby, or die."

To celebrate episode #69 of THE Bitcoin Podcast, today's episode features not one but TWO guests: Preston Pysh and American Hodl. These are two of my favorite people I've met through Bitcoin, and both have been on this show before. So I figured what better way to celebrate episode #69 than with a double whammy. You're going to love this one...

"really the people at the root cause of these carbon emissions, it's Keynesians, right? It's the people who want to print money and who have violated the institutional trust and the credibility that historically helped governments." - Pierre Rochard

This conversation dives deep into the topic of Bitcoin mining and the misconceptions surrounding its environmental impact. Walker and Pierre discuss the realities of the electricity grid, the root cause of carbon emissions, and the immorality of seniorage profits. The conversation highlights the arrogance and incompetence of central planners and the chaos and lobbying in politics. It concludes with the importance of transparency and collaboration with Bitcoin miners and the victory for the rule of law and the American people. In this conversation, Pierre Rochard discusses the role of Bitcoin miners in the energy grid and their contribution to demand response. He explains how Bitcoin miners in Texas are helping stabilize the grid and address the challenges of renewable energy generation. Pierre also highlights the strategic implications of Bitcoin mining for national security and suggests that the US government should buy Bitcoin with printed dollars to strengthen the country's position. He emphasizes the need for policymakers to understand the benefits of Bitcoin mining and its potential to secure the nation's future.

"They have to create wars. They have to create chaos in order to bring about a new world order. It's that simple. And anyone that thinks that this is a conspiracy theory, go f***ing do the work!"

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Efrat Fenigson. Efrat is an independent journalist, a Bitcoin and freedom maximalist, and the host of Your The Voice Podcast. This episode is quite unique, because Efrat lives in Tel Aviv and in the middle of our conversation she started to hear the missile warning sirens and then started hearing missiles exploding, but she insisted we keep the conversation going. We went deep into a lot of topics today from the escalating conflict in the middle east, to mental and spiritual resilience, CBDCs, personal responsibility, censorship, the role of journalism in exposing truths, government psyops, free speech, globalist agendas, the New World Order, Bitcoin, Nostr, and how to find signal amidst all the incessant noise in this crazy world.

"if you put the requisite time and energy into creating a culture that self-enforces ethics, you don't need violence in the first place. And you can escape that loop, in theory, at least. That's my hot take."

“It seemed like a risky thing. But the more I did understand it, the more I was like NOT having bitcoin is the real risk. OK, the price goes up and down. But at the end of the day, even there in the worst of the bear markets, I'd be like, has anything really changed other than the price? Nothing has changed fundamentally. So why would my belief in this change?”

“Bitcoin over the last five years has returned 55% CAGR. If you get a 10th of a Bitcoin right now, just sit on a 10th of a Bitcoin… You go 20 years… That's $64 f***ing million dollars.”

"My view for the future is that the way that we keep podcasting open and protect the precious medium that we have is to help podcasters get paid with this open payment protocol called Lightning. And also now with Nostr to help listeners and podcasters and whoever's interested in podcasts to share episodes, discover new episodes, have conversations around episodes without that being locked to any one app or platform or service."

Walker talks with Giacomo Zucco, a Bitcoin entrepreneur, consultant, speaker, and adviser. I wanted to talk to Giacomo about Ordinals and Inscriptions, because there’s quite a debate raging around these topics right now, and I always appreciate Giacomo’s perspective. We start the conversation off talking about what the purpose of Bitcoin is and setting up some definitions for "what is spam," then discuss the "free market" and what exactly that means in terms of active or passive response.

"The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism."

Anatomy of the State was published in 1974 but, like any good book, the lessons are timeless, and highly relevant today.

I believe everyone should read this book, because so often people have difficulty understanding why Bitcoin is needed, because they don’t understand the extent of the problem, the extent of the State’s overreach and predation.

Rothbard begins with the idea that the state is not a natural or voluntary organization, but rather a system that maintains its existence through coercive tax theft and a monopoly on violence.

He argues that the state can never be considered neutral or benign, as its very existence relies on expropriating resources from the citizenry.

As you listen, think about the fact that the State’s monopoly on violence allows it to maintain its monopoly on money, and how Bitcoin is a direct challenge to that status quo.

"When a government increases the quantity of paper money, the result is that the purchasing power of the monetary unit begins to drop, and so prices rise. This is called inflation."- Ludwig von Mises
