<p>Samson Mow joins Walker to break down the escalating controversy surrounding BIP 110, Bitcoin Core, OP_RETURN, spam filtering, and the difference between node relay policy and Bitcoin’s consensus rules. Samson explains why he believes BIP 110 attempts to force a rushed and contentious soft fork onto the network, lowers the threshold for future consensus changes, and could produce a short-lived minority chain with insufficient hash rate to survive.</p> <p>Samson also compares the emotional arguments behind BIP 110 with those used during the Blocksize War, arguing that a desirable objective does not justify a dangerous technical solution. He discusses Bitcoin’s economic majority, miner signaling, the limits of node counts, the risks facing Lightning users and other network participants during a chain split, and why Bitcoin consensus must emerge slowly rather than being imposed through arbitrary deadlines.</p> <p>Beyond BIP 110, Samson shares his bullish outlook for Bitcoin, explains why belief in the four-year cycle may have created a self-fulfilling selloff, and argues that exhausted sellers could set the stage for God candles and Omega candles. He also discusses the inevitability of large-scale fiat money printing, the upcoming rebuild of Aqua Wallet, and JAN3’s new nation-state Bitcoin adoption report and B20 country rankings.</p> <p><strong>JOIN THE SUBSTACK TO GET NEW EPISODES DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX: <a href="https://walkeramerica.substack.com/">https://walkeramerica.substack.com/</a></strong></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW SAMSON:</strong> </p> <p>NOSTR: <a href="https://primal.net/excellion">https://primal.net/excellion</a> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/Excellion">https://x.com/Excellion</a></p> <p>FOLLOW JAN3: <a href="https://x.com/JAN3com">https://x.com/JAN3com</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>Lyn Alden joins Walker to discuss where Bitcoin may be in the current market cycle, why today’s “peak apathy” could represent an accumulation zone, and how the massive flow of capital into AI has affected Bitcoin and crypto markets.</p> <p>Lyn also breaks down <strong>Orange Juice</strong>, her new permanent-capital company designed to acquire durable, cash-flowing businesses and retain part of their earnings in Bitcoin. They explore why this model differs from pure-play Bitcoin treasury companies and traditional private equity, the coming generational transfer of small businesses, and how AI can make established companies more efficient without simply replacing workers.</p> <p>The conversation also covers the Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh, inflation and interest rates, AI as a long-term deflationary force, China’s open-source AI strategy, the geopolitical AI arms race, and why decentralized and open-source AI could ultimately empower individuals.</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW LYN:</strong> </p> <p>NOSTR: <a href="https://primal.net/lyn">https://primal.net/lyn</a> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/LynAldenContact">https://x.com/LynAldenContact</a> </p> <p><strong>CHECK OUT ORANGE JUICE:</strong> </p> <p><a href="https://orangejuice.com/">https://orangejuice.com/</a></p> <p><strong>LISTEN TO "THE STOLGUARD INCIDENT":</strong> <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Stolguard-Incident-Audiobook/B0H2BHLNKV">https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Stolguard-Incident-Audiobook/B0H2BHLNKV</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>Is the Bitcoin bottom in—or could another major selloff be coming?</p> <p>Joe Consorti joins Walker to break down the macro forces driving Bitcoin, including the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, rising oil prices, inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and the prospect of an inflationary recession. Joe explains why an oil supply shock cannot be solved by higher interest rates, why the Fed may ultimately cut rather than hike, and how political pressure ahead of the midterms could shape markets.</p> <p>They also examine Strategy’s controversial Bitcoin sales and dismantle claims that the company, MSTR, or its STRC preferred equity is caught in a “death spiral.” Joe explains Strategy’s debt structure, the risk of forced Bitcoin liquidation, its push for inclusion in the S&P 500, and how the company can sell BTC to fund dividends while remaining a net buyer over time.</p> <p>Finally, Joe shares why monetary debasement sustains his long-term Bitcoin conviction—and how his Christian faith keeps him grounded amid political, economic, and geopolitical uncertainty.</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW JOE:</strong> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/JoeConsorti">https://x.com/JoeConsorti</a> </p> <p>Website: <a href="https://www.joeconsorti.com/">https://www.joeconsorti.com/</a></p> <p>YT: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JoeConsorti">https://www.youtube.com/@JoeConsorti</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert join THE Bitcoin Podcast for a fiery, wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin’s Wall Street problem, El Salvador’s renaissance, and the culture Bitcoin lost.</p> <p>We discuss how President Nayib Bukele transformed El Salvador from a country defined by violence and despair into a global symbol of security, optimism, and Bitcoin-powered possibility. Max and Stacy explain why they see El Salvador as the leading example of a new freedom model built around Bitcoin, AI, education, energy, and strong governance.</p> <p>The conversation also dives deep into Bitcoin’s financialization: Strategy/MSTR, Wall Street, ETFs, treasury companies, self-custody, “number go up” thinking, and the danger of reducing Bitcoin to just another asset on a brokerage screen. Along the way, we explore memes, cypherpunk culture, circular economies, AI, sovereignty, civilization, and why Bitcoin must remain rooted in freedom—not fiat nihilism.</p> <p>Plus: Bitcoin Historico, Coco Max, fake chocolate bars, and why it’s all Matt Odell’s fault.</p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>American Hodl and Erik Cason return to THE Bitcoin Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin, AI, cryptography, surveillance, socialism / communism, and the future of human freedom.</p> <p>We explore whether AI is fundamentally communist and centralizing, why Bitcoin may be one of humanity’s greatest tools for preserving individual liberty, and how advances in AI are reshaping the economics of censorship, surveillance, and political power.</p> <p>Along the way, we examine the resurgence of socialism and communism, America’s founding ideals, the growing crisis of trust in Western institutions, open-source AI, privacy, faith, family, and why building parallel systems may matter more than fighting over existing ones.</p> <p>A philosophical, provocative, and often humorous conversation about the defining ideas shaping the future.</p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>In this episode, I sit down with Matt Odell for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of Bitcoin, Nostr, and freedom tech in an era of accelerating AI surveillance. Matt opens up about why he returned to X after two years on Nostr only, what he got wrong about adoption timelines, and why he still believes open protocols are the only credible path forward. We get into the tension between self-custody and custodial convenience, the surveillance threat posed by AI-powered data harvesting, and how Odell thinks about building resilient, censorship-resistant systems from his own self-hosted stack at home.</p> <p>FOLLOW ODELL: </p> <p>NOSTR: <a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/ODELLXYZ">https://x.com/ODELLXYZ</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p><strong>Privacy isn’t about having something to hide. It’s about preserving the freedom to act, communicate, and coordinate without coercion.</strong></p> <p>In this episode of <em>THE Bitcoin Podcast</em>, Walker sits down with privacy advocate, cypherpunk, and Freedom Tech builder Max Hillebrand to discuss his new book, <em>The Praxeology of Privacy</em>.</p> <p>Max explains how Austrian economics and cypherpunk philosophy intersect, why privacy is a natural consequence of self-ownership and property rights, and how surveillance distorts economic calculation in much the same way that money printing distorts markets.</p> <p>The conversation explores:</p> <ul> <li>Why privacy is fundamentally tied to freedom</li> <li>The economic consequences of surveillance</li> <li>CBDCs and the future of financial control</li> <li>Why corporations and governments increasingly operate as surveillance partners</li> <li>The role of Bitcoin in creating a parallel economy</li> <li>Tor, VPNs, encryption, and network-level privacy</li> <li>Nostr’s growing ecosystem and why developer adoption matters more than user counts</li> <li>Operational security (OpSec) in both the digital and physical world</li> <li>Signal’s limitations and the future of decentralized private communications</li> <li>White Noise, Marmot, and the next generation of unstoppable encrypted messaging</li> <li>How Freedom Tech can make coercion more expensive and liberty more accessible</li> </ul> <p>Max also shares his vision for a future where money, communication, identity, and publishing are all decentralized, permissionless, and resistant to censorship.</p> <p>Whether you’re new to privacy or already deep down the cypherpunk rabbit hole, this conversation provides a powerful framework for understanding why privacy matters—and what practical steps you can take to reclaim it.</p> <p>FOLLOW MAX: </p> <p>NOSTR: <a href="https://primal.net/maxhillebrand">https://primal.net/maxhillebrand</a> </p> <p>Try White Noise Chat: <a href="https://www.whitenoise.chat/">https://www.whitenoise.chat/</a> </p> <p><a href="https://towardsliberty.com/">https://towardsliberty.com/</a> </p> <p>GET HIS BOOK: </p> <p>The Praxeology of Privacy on Amazon: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/2xn9bs8y">https://tinyurl.com/2xn9bs8y</a> </p> <p>Read on Nostr: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4b42kb7d">https://tinyurl.com/4b42kb7d</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>IS THE BOTTOM IN? In this episode, I sit down with on-chain analyst James Check (Checkmate) and sentiment researcher Michael Sullivan to dig into their joint report "Peak Apathy" and what it really means when nobody gives a damn about Bitcoin. We go deep on why this bear market feels different, how language data and on-chain metrics are converging on some of the clearest accumulation signals since 2022, and why the most dangerous thing you can do right now is let the herd talk you out of stacking. "IT'S TIME TO DOUBLE DOWN." </p> <p>If you've been feeling the vibe weirdness and want the data behind it, this one's for you.</p> <p>PEAK APATHY: <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/checkonchain/p/peak-apathy">https://open.substack.com/pub/checkonchain/p/peak-apathy</a> </p> <p>FOLLOW JAMES: </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/_Checkmatey_">https://x.com/_Checkmatey_</a> </p> <p>WEBSITE: <a href="https://www.checkonchain.com/">https://www.checkonchain.com/</a> </p> <p>FOLLOW MICHAEL:\ </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/SullyMichaelvan">https://x.com/SullyMichaelvan</a> </p> <p>Michael's website: <a href="https://linktr.ee/sullywrites">https://linktr.ee/sullywrites</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker sits down with coinjoined Chris for a wide-ranging conversation covering Bitcoin security, privacy, memes, AI propaganda, self-custody, and the future of freedom tech. They discuss the rise in violent “$5 wrench attacks” against Bitcoiners, operational security best practices, and why privacy tools and self-custody matter more than ever in an increasingly surveilled world.</p> <p>They also dive deep into Bitcoin scaling debates, covenant proposals, quantum computing fears, and whether Bitcoin should continue evolving or ossify over time. Along the way, they explore AI-generated media, the changing culture of Bitcoin, the rise of institutional “Suitcoiners,” and why memes remain one of the most powerful forms of modern propaganda.</p> <p>The conversation closes with reflections on sovereignty, CBDCs, the future of money, and a philosophical speed round on plebs, voting, podcasts, and the fall of Rome.</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW CHRIS:</strong> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/coinjoined">https://x.com/coinjoined</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>In this episode, I sit down with Michael Sullivan, author of Blood of the Bourgeoisie, to explore his groundbreaking Bitcoin sentiment analysis work that goes far beyond the fear and greed index, tracking individual high-signal Bitcoiners' language at a granularity most hedge funds only use behind closed doors. We also go deep on Blood of the Bourgeoisie, the Bitcoin thriller I had the honor of narrating, which captures the inner conflict every Bitcoiner knows between wanting to burn the system down and finding the more constructive path forward. The conversation dives into language, narrative formation, Bitcoin culture, the psychology of markets, AI-assisted creativity, and the tension many Bitcoiners feel between revolutionary anger and peaceful opt-out through freedom technology.</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW MICHAEL:</strong></p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/SullyMichaelvan">https://x.com/SullyMichaelvan</a> </p> <p>Order the book!

<p>Allen Farrington returns to THE Bitcoin Podcast to discuss his latest essay “Number Go Down,” the myths surrounding deflation, why fiat economics gets causation backwards, and how inflationary monetary systems distort society itself.</p> <p>Walker and Allen explore the “paradox of thrift,” why central banking is fundamentally incompatible with free markets, and how fiat money fuels wealth inequality while convincing people capitalism is to blame. They also dive into socialism, Bitcoin as a savings technology, lowering time preference, and the future of Bitcoin scaling technologies like Lightning and ARK.</p> <p>The conversation also covers Bitcoin Is Venice, the upcoming second edition of the book, and why Bitcoin adoption may happen not through ideology — but through people slowly rediscovering common sense.</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW ALLEN: <a href="https://x.com/allenf32">https://x.com/allenf32</a></strong></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>In this episode, I sat down with Josh Hendrickson, BPI Senior Fellow and Chair of Economics at the University of Mississippi, to dig into the uncomfortable truth that Bitcoin's success has made political engagement unavoidable, not optional. We covered why the normalization of socialist ideas in America is both predictable and dangerous, why the "just leave me alone" mentality always loses to those who refuse to leave you alone, and how the proof-of-work ethos connects Bitcoin's rabbit hole to the kind of first-principles thinking America desperately needs right now.</p> <p>FOLLOW JOSH: </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/RebelEconProf">https://x.com/RebelEconProf</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>Why does everything feel harder right now—and why does Bitcoin feel so frustrating at the same time?</p> <p>In this episode, I sit down with James Check (Checkmate) to break down the reality behind the “cost of living” crisis, why the system no longer seems to work for younger generations, and what Bitcoin is telling us about where we are in the market cycle.</p> <p>We explore the deeper forces driving rising costs, inequality, and financial stress—before diving into Bitcoin’s current phase: who’s actually selling, who’s buying, and whether this painful stretch is setting up the next move.</p> <p>If it feels like the math doesn’t add up anymore, this conversation explains why. </p> <p><strong>CHECKMATE’S LINKS:</strong> </p> <p>Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/p/npub1qh5sal68c8swet6ut0w5evjmj6vnw29x3k967h7atn45unzjyeyq6ceh9r">https://primal.net/p/npub1qh5sal68c8swet6ut0w5evjmj6vnw29x3k967h7atn45unzjyeyq6ceh9r</a> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/_Checkmatey_">https://x.com/_Checkmatey_</a> </p> <p>Web: <a href="https://www.checkonchain.com">https://www.checkonchain.com</a></p> <p><strong>🔑 Topics Covered</strong></p> <ul> <li>The real drivers behind the <strong>“cost of living” crisis</strong> (money printing vs real scarcity)</li> <li>Why <strong>saving and investing feel broken</strong>—and the growing generational divide</li> <li>Why more people are turning to <strong>speculation</strong></li> <li>A controversial idea on <strong>taxation and wealth distribution</strong></li> <li>What actually drives Bitcoin price (beyond “manipulation”)</li> <li>The <strong>3 types of market pain</strong>: price, profit, and time</li> <li>Why sideways markets are often the <strong>hardest phase</strong></li> <li>Who is selling Bitcoin right now—and why long-term holders aren’t</li> <li>How institutions and ETFs are <strong>absorbing supply</strong></li> <li>Why recent price action may signal <strong>capitulation and bottom formation</strong></li> <li>Why markets often feel worst before turning—and what history suggests comes next</li> </ul> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>Rob Wallace from Bitcoin News is not your typical Bitcoiner, this is a guy who spent four years living in Shanghai, bought his first 2.2 bitcoin at an ATM in 2016… only to have them stolen at a Las Vegas airport. We cover the macro chaos unfolding around us, why Eastern Europe might be civilization's last immune system, and what the Fourth Turning actually looks like from the inside. We dig deep into the corporate Bitcoin treasury mania: who's holding the line and who already blinked. Mainly, we discuss why the next wave of bitcoin adoption will come from a crisis. </p> <p><strong>FOLLOW ROB:</strong> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/%5C_Rob_Wallace">https://x.com/\_Rob_Wallace</a> </p> <p>Bitcoin News on X: <a href="https://x.com/bitcoinnewscom">https://x.com/bitcoinnewscom</a> </p> <p>Bitcoin News' website: <a href="https://bitcoinnews.com/">https://bitcoinnews.com/</a></p> <p>Key Topics:</p> <ul> <li>Bitcoin adoption needs a crisis</li> <li>Media landscape</li> <li>Macroeconomic trends</li> <li>Treasury companies</li> <li>Bitcoin's future</li> </ul> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>Giacomo Zucco joins Walker America to discuss Bitcoin spam, ordinals, inscriptions, Bitcoin Core, Core v30 / OP_RETURN, Knots, and why he thinks the BIP-110 soft fork will fail—and why that’s a problem. They break down the technical and political fight over spam filtering, consensus changes, and the future of Bitcoin nodes. Zucco argues that while spam is real, BIP-110 is the wrong solution—and its failure could damage the movement trying to fight it.</p> <p><strong>Key Topics:</strong></p> <p>• Plan B Lugano + the rise of Cypher Tank</p> <p>• Is Bitcoin Core compromised?</p> <p>• Bitcoin spam vs censorship: where’s the line?</p> <p>• Core v30 vs Knots: what’s really happening?</p> <p>• Why Giacomo thinks BIP-110 will fail</p> <p>• Would BIP-110 actually fix Bitcoin spam?</p> <p>• Ordinals and inscriptions</p> <p>• Should Bitcoin change consensus rules to fight spam?</p> <p>• Why Giacomo believes Layer 2s—not forks—solve the problem</p> <p>• What happens to Bitcoin if BIP-110 fails?</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW GIACOMO:</strong> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/giacomozucco">https://x.com/giacomozucco</a></p> <p>Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/giacomozucco">https://primal.net/giacomozucco</a></p> <p>PlanB: <a href="https://planb.network/">https://planb.network/</a></p> <p>Cypher Tank: <a href="https://cyphertank.org/">https://cyphertank.org/</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>Walker sits down with Paul Keating from Primal to talk about where Nostr is three years after Nostrica, why adoption has been slower than the early hype suggested, and why that may have been a good thing. They explore Primal’s vision, creator onboarding, Bitcoin zaps as a native internet business model, circular Bitcoin economies like Bitcoin Jungle, the coming wave of Nostr apps that hide the protocol from end users, and why human-first, sovereignty-preserving social tools matter more than ever in an age of AI slop, algorithmic addiction, and centralized digital identity.</p> <p><strong>Key topics discussed</strong></p> <ul> <li>How Nostr has matured since Nostrica and why the ecosystem is stronger now than during the first hype wave</li> <li>Primal’s roadmap, including polls, better creator tooling, smoother onboarding, and a broader vision for healthier social media</li> <li>Why Bitcoin zaps and Nostr create a fundamentally better creator economy than legacy platforms or “Web3” token schemes</li> <li>The real-world circular Bitcoin economy in Bitcoin Jungle and what it shows about living on a Bitcoin standard</li> <li>Why Nostr may become increasingly important as AI-generated slop, censorship, surveillance, and centralized identity systems accelerate</li> <li><strong>DiVine vs AI Slop:</strong> Using proof-of-human posting to fight the rise of AI-generated content online.</li> </ul> <p><strong>FOLLOW PAUL:</strong> </p> <p>NOSTR: <a href="https://primal.net/paul">https://primal.net/paul</a> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/thepaulosophy">https://x.com/thepaulosophy</a> </p> <p>CHECK OUT: <a href="https://ownyourposts.com">https://ownyourposts.com</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.

<p>Walker sits down with Rational Root for a deep dive into Bitcoin’s current market structure, bear market vibes, and why this cycle has felt so different, and whether the four-year cycle is still intact. Root argues Bitcoin is in a bear market phase, explains why institutional adoption and ETF flows created a more distributed top instead of a classic parabolic blow-off, and lays out why the next few months may look more like bottom formation than immediate breakout. They discuss the role of long-term holder distribution, why 100k became such a major psychological level, how business cycles and halving cycles interact, and why Bitcoin remains massively bullish long term even if price chops lower in the near term.</p> <p><strong>Five key topics we discuss</strong></p> <ul> <li>Why Rational Root believes Bitcoin is currently in a bear market, not just a mid-cycle dip</li> <li>How ETF flows, OTC buying, and institutional adoption changed this cycle’s price action</li> <li>Why 100k became a major psychological sell zone for long-term holders and OG whales</li> <li>Whether the four-year cycle is still alive, and how much of it is really driven by the broader business/liquidity cycle</li> <li>Why Root remains extremely bullish long term even while expecting more chop and possible downside in the near term</li> </ul> <p><strong>FOLLOW ROOT:</strong></p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/therationalroot">https://x.com/therationalroot</a></p> <p>Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsphh4hcsk9trquc2rd0drwge9vh75rmaa43xru4ha74nyrld9emyg4vj6zg">https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsphh4hcsk9trquc2rd0drwge9vh75rmaa43xru4ha74nyrld9emyg4vj6zg</a></p> <p>WEB: <a href="https://www.bitcoinstrategyplatform.com/">https://www.bitcoinstrategyplatform.com/</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.
