  • This Is The Worst.

    Today’s ep is titled “Bitcoin Against the Machine”. Yet this podcast had mainstream shills 80% the time. It sounds like there paying to be there half the time. Lame

  • Clown Show! Scammers Regularly as obvious paid to be on guests.

    Used to be at least seemingly independent people on , not to sell something but just for an interesting conversation. Fast forward it’s a shill fest & obvious he’s getting paid to put people shilling things on as a commercial. One star and wish I could put zero

  • Clown show

    When it’s not just broken clocks repeating same old failed predictions with no evidence or anything else. It’s just single narrative no deep dive just worthless nonsense. Dave is saying same nonsense failed predictions he made here 3 plus years ago and never gets pushed on being wrong. Not helpful at all.

  • I can't stop talking about Snap Shot services after such an incredible experience. An intruder gained access to my email in May, and my data and Bitcoin wallet were exposed. As a result, I lost $560,000 in savings and operating business assets. It was insane! When a staff member brought up Snap Shot Recovery in the middle of my uncertainty, I got in touch with them right away. Fortunately, it only took a few days for them to restore my wallet, which I was unable to access, and, following own... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bitcoin Secures $1 Trillion and Has No Security Team | Luke de Wolf
Q: What are the governance concerns around BIP 110 and its potential impact?
The discussion centers on whether a minority group can force consensus changes, the role of miners vs. node runners, and the implications for Bitcoin's conservatism, governance, and long-term security.
Bitcoin Secures $1 Trillion and Has No Security Team | Luke de Wolf
Q: How does Bitcoin qualify as critical infrastructure and how is its defense different?
Bitcoin is a global, decentralized payment system tied to energy through mining; its defense emphasizes availability and layered security (CIA triad), ensuring the system runs even under stress, while recognizing the role of individual users, miners, and nodes.
The Tyranny of the Clock | Scott Dedels, The Age of Time
Q: What motivated you to write a book about time and Bitcoin?
The guest explains he wanted to explore philosophic and esoteric ideas about Bitcoin beyond money, focusing on time, civilization, and information transmission, and how timekeeping shapes culture and future potential.
Bitcoin Against the Machine | Kent Halliburton, Sazmining
Q: How does mining as a service work and how do I get started?
Sazmining provides a software-driven, SaaS-like experience where customers select hardware and data centers, and they are billed monthly with a simple checkout; mining is automated and managed, with a 15% revenue share taken from mined Bitcoin via specified mining pools.
Matt Cole — He Built a Stock That Pays You Every Day
Q: Why daily dividends and how do you justify them from a risk perspective?
He argues daily dividends remove the 'dividend event' friction, align incentives with holders, and present a more money-market-like product while using three-layer balance sheet composition to manage volatility and redemptions.
