THE Bitcoin Podcast

"I am incredibly, incredibly bullish right now."

In this episode, I chat with Marty Bent, co-founder of TFTC, host of Rabbit Hole Recap, and one of the most clear-headed voices in Bitcoin media. We dig into the state of Bitcoin markets and why Marty remains deeply bullish despite volatility, before moving into a wide-ranging conversation on Nostr, live streaming, and the cultural shift toward open protocols. If you’re trying to understand how Bitcoin, family, culture, and politics all collide in this moment, and where optimism still makes sense, this episode is for you.

PARTNERS & DI...

Today I talk with Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Samourai Wallet, who is set to report to prison on December 19 unless he gets a pardon from President Trump… In April 2024, two Bitcoin software developers, Keonne Rodriguez and William "Bill" Lonergan Hill, were violently arrested in their homes in a pre-dawn militarized raid by the FBI for running Samourai Wallet—a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet—despite no prior warnings and full compliance with the law as they and their advisors understood it.

In this episode, I chat with Preston Pysh, investor, educator, and host of Bitcoin Fundamentals on The Investor’s Podcast Network. We dive into everything from confusing macro signals and monetary policy pivots to his thoughts on the evolution of the four-year cycle. We also get into the political chess game of the Fed, what Trump might be planning for Powell’s replacement, and how institutions like Harvard are signaling strong conviction in Bitcoin. If you’re trying to make sense of the weird vibes in the market, this episode is for you.

PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:

"Bitcoin is the best money that humanity has ever invented, discovered, whatever you want to say. There's 21 million forever. There's infinite fiat forever. Do the f***ing math. This isn't that complicated. You just have to stack sats."

This is episode one of BITCOIN AFTER DARK. These episodes are originally live streamed as "emergency broadcasts" and I figured I might as well put them out as regular episodes.

If you are bearish or worried about bitcoin right now, then this episode is for you.

For this rip I'm solo for the first part...

"Our government is very, very corrupt. That's why we're here."

In this episode, I chat with Alex McShane, a longtime Bitcoin builder, events producer, and deep thinker on everything from protocol development to the culture wars within Bitcoin.

We also explore the rise of open-source funding models and Nostr’s challenges with product-market fit.

Alex opens up about his background running massive conferences, his early work with Bitcoin Magazine, and his thoughts on whether the Bitcoin space is heading toward re...

“If you’re measuring Bitcoin in dollars, you haven’t left the matrix yet.”

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down once again with Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow and co-founder of Ego Death Capital, for a deep dive into the real state of the world:

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America talks with Angela McArdle—Chair of the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus and former Chair of the Libertarian National Party—about her path from local civil-liberties activism in Los Angeles to high-level federal political influence, including her pivotal role in negotiating Ross Ulbricht’s presidential pardon.

Angela outlines her strategy for transforming the Libertarian Party from a spoiler into a “kingmaker” that leverages ballot access and voter blocs to secure policy concessions and cabinet roles from major candidates. She also details her ongoing work to fight escalating “lawfare” against Bitcoin develo...

In this episode, I chat with Max Hillebrand, a devoted advocate for freedom tech and a long-time contributor to the Bitcoin and privacy space. Max and I dive deep into the philosophical and technical underpinnings of privacy, sovereignty, and the decentralized future we’re all building toward.

If you’ve ever questioned the fragility of our current systems or wondered what it means to truly own your freedom, this conversation will not only make you think, it might just light a fire under you.

PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:

"I actually view Bitcoin as a way to keep the crown jewels of our civilization, the West, shining… If that goes out, then the whole world goes dark. And so that's what I think is the most important thing. I think Bitcoin is going to help save Western civilization."

What happens when you build a Bitcoin-only bank inside the belly of the U.S. financial system? River CEO/CTO Alex Leishman breaks down what it's like to build a Bitcoin bank, why Bitcoin saves western civilization, and what Bitcoin means for America.

PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:

"I still think that there's enormous upside left. I truly believe we're going to hit 10, 20 million dollars per coin… I'm going to be buying Bitcoin at ten million dollars per coin because where else are you going to park your wealth?"

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down with Nico from Simply Bitcoin to talk about the real choice humanity faces: Bitcoin or Slavery. From censorship-resistant social media and YouTube bans to Bitcoin Zen and the coming war between freedom money and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), this conversation dives deep into the fu...

"If you want to make a difference, you need to start a podcast."

Walker America sits down with Richard Greaser and Rod Palmer of the Bitcoin Bugle for a fast, funny, and surprisingly earnest tour of Bitcoin culture—why podcasting is the best truth-delivery mechanism we’ve got, how to respect your audience’s scarce time, and what ethical monetization actually looks like (yes, even “Bitcoin QVC” for boomers—value first, no pleb-fleecing). Along the way they unpack vibes as a real coordination signal (and why public vibe checks matter), defend satire as journalism that cuts through cognitive di...

"I cannot tell you how important it is for people to start thinking about self-custody and getting their own Bitcoin, getting it off exchanges, holding it yourself, becoming a sovereign individual, memorizing 12 words. And when the world goes to shit, you can just go across any border, take all your wealth with you."
