  • Decent podcast. BTW, Mark Cohodes was onto FTX at least six months before it failed. He presented his findings to Hedgeye Clients around 2 weeks before everything went Tango Uniform...

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Best Bitcoin Buying Opportunity In History | Peter Dunworth
Q: You're the most bullish man that I ever speak to. How are you doing, man?
Life is good; despite the bear market, the focus is on sound money, self-custody, and long-term upside driven by demand and scarce supply.
The Hidden Battle for Global Power | Simon Dixon
Q: Do you think the move away from the petrodollar toward a multipolar system is being engineered to benefit centralized interests?
Yes, the host argues that multipolarity is being managed to favor transnational capital and centralized institutions, while decentralization and sovereignty are framed as the counterweight that people should pursue through self-custody and local communities.
Why BIP110 Won’t Change Bitcoin | Mr Hodl & Wicked
Q: How does this compare to SegWit activation?
SegWit had overwhelming support (near 95% signaling) and activation occurred smoothly; Bip110's threshold is much lower, but lacks similar broad backing, making it a fragile and risky proposition.
Why BIP110 Won’t Change Bitcoin | Mr Hodl & Wicked
Q: What would happen if Bip110 actually activated?
They argue it would trigger a major chain split, require replay protection or other adjustments, and could force miners to realign; but they view this outcome as highly unlikely given the weak signaling and economic disincentives.
Who Really Controls Bitcoin? | Bitcoin Mechanic
Q: Do you think miners will actually push back or embrace the change if it reaches activation height?
He believes miners may ambivalently participate, but the decision will hinge on whether broader ecosystem actors, including smaller stakeholders, align to resist or enable the fork; the dynamics mirror past soft-fork wars.
