<p>A self-proclaimed white hat hacker exploited Blockstream's Liquid Network, minting fake LBTC and draining nearly 4,000 Bitcoin worth around $320M. The funds were held on-chain during public negotiations conducted through blockchain messages, with 85% eventually returned and around 600 BTC kept as a claimed 'consultancy fee'. </p> <p>This breakdown explains how the Liquid hack happened, what it reveals about federated sidechains, custodial risk, and Bitcoin security. We also cover UK mandatory phone surveillance and digital ID proposals, arrests for communications offenses, rising Europe-Russia tensions, LG TV privacy concerns, plus our Donkeys of the Week, who are offering the opportunity to own a brand new meme coin and pair of Strategy-branded shoes. </p> <p>—------------------------ </p> <p>🔑 Learn how to take 100% self-custody of your Bitcoin: <a href="https://www.thebitcoinway.com/services/bitcoin-self-custody-training?utm_source=tbw&utm_medium=fountain&utm_campaign=bitcoin-banter&utm_content=desc">https://www.thebitcoinway.com/services/bitcoin-self-custody-training?utm_source=tbw&utm_medium=fountain&utm_campaign=bitcoin-banter&utm_content=desc</a> </p> <p>📖 Interested in a Plan B?

Ricky frames Bitcoin by its end state rather than its mechanics, and what actually changes once the money is fixed. They discuss how AI is quietly erasing traditional jobs, what it means to raise children in a post-fiat world, and why Bitcoin is the first asset where physics defends the holder.

<p>Self-custody isn't complete without verification. If you're not running a Bitcoin node, you're still trusting someone else's computer to confirm your balance and transactions. Tony explains what a Bitcoin node actually does, why nodes (not miners) enforce Bitcoin's rules, and how thousands of node operators stopped the 2017 block size increase. Running your own Bitcoin node is the missing piece of true Bitcoin self-custody, and it's easier than you think.

Drawing on Neil Flesher’s Modern Chains, he analyzes how inflation, surveillance, and geographic restrictions extract labor and privacy. True wealth isn’t measured in fiat, but in the freedom to opt out. Michael explores the three awakenings required to reclaim autonomy: achieving financial sovereignty through 100% self-custody, protecting privacy in a surveillance state, and securing the freedom to move. If you believe there’s no middle ground between full sovereignty and economic slavery, this is your call to action: take your Bitcoin into 100% self-custody, opt out of the surveillance state, and prepare to move. The real yield on Bitcoin was never measured in dollars — it’s freedom.</p> <p>=================</p> <p>⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:</p> <p>0:00 The Reality of Economic Slavery </p> <p>0:53 Why Bitcoiners Opt Out of the System </p> <p>2:23 The Inflation Trap and Central Bank Dilution </p> <p>6:19 Understanding Where Rights Actually Come From </p> <p>10:38 Financial Sovereignty Through Self Custody </p> <p>12:14 Reclaiming Privacy and Geographic Freedom </p> <p>15:07 The Three Yields of Bitcoin</p> <p>================= </p> <p>⏯️ Watch Michael's 2025 BTC Prague speech: <a href="https://youtu.be/c42ANRwpLtc">https://youtu.be/c42ANRwpLtc</a> </p> <p>➡️ Follow Michael on X: <a href="https://x.com/theothermjordan">https://x.com/theothermjordan</a> </p> <p>=================</p> <p>🎧 LISTEN ON OTHER PLATFORMS:</p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheBitcoinWay">https://www.youtube.com/@TheBitcoinWay</a></p> <p>Rumble: <a href="https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinway">https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinway</a></p> <p>RSS: <a href="https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss">https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss</a></p> <p>=================</p> <p>🔗CONNECT WITH US:</p> <p>X: <a href="https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway_">https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway_</a></p> <p>N: npub1lrj3lsskez59qu68v5fpnur7ythe7s5e4qcelclha6t6r9q5pqgsl2m</p> <p>LI: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/">https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/</a></p> <p>IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway_">https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway_</a></p> <p>TT: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway">https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway</a></p> <p>🗞️: <a href="https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter">https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter</a> </p> <p>=================</p> <p>❗DISCLAIMER:</p> <p>This show is for entertainment purposes only.

<p>Bitcoin BIP-110 has triggered a major debate among Bitcoiners, pitting Bitcoin Core against Bitcoin Knots and raising critical questions about network security, node sovereignty, and blockchain data limits. In this episode of The Bitcoin Way podcast, Kyle and Bert break down the technical implications of BIP-110 and analyze why this consensus change is so controversial. </p> <p>From the history of OP_RETURN limits to the potential risks of a chain split, this deep dive provides the clarity you need to navigate the current Bitcoin node landscape. If you are struggling to decide which node implementation is right for you, or if you simply want to understand the consensus rules governing Bitcoin nodes today, this conversation is essential listening. </p> <p>Running a Bitcoin node is the ultimate act of sovereignty, but it requires understanding the rules you are enforcing. We explore the seven consensus restrictions proposed in BIP-110, the risks of single-maintainer governance, and why individual node operators remain the final line of defense against network changes. Verify, don't trust. </p> <hr /> <p>Want to run your own node but don't know where to start?

<p>Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University joins Michael Jordan on The Bitcoin Way podcast for a hard-hitting breakdown of the Bitcoin Core controversy: why Core developers are compromised, the network's migration to Bitcoin Knots, and what self-custody Bitcoiners must do now.</p> <p>Matthew covers UTXO bloat from ordinals and inscriptions, the uncapping of OP_RETURN, and how Core devs prioritized theoretical bloat over real attack surface. With 20% of nodes already on Bitcoin Knots, he explains BIP-110 - the temporary soft fork to reverse Core's changes.</p> <p>Plus: Michael Saylor's Ethereum DeFi pivot, the risks of Bitcoin-backed loans, and why Bitcoin plebs are the network's true immune system. Essential listening for anyone running a node, practicing self custody, or defending Bitcoin's decentralization.</p> <p>🔑 Want to run your own node?

In this week's Bitcoin Banter, Michael, Tony, and Katie break down Tony's personal keynote, the temperature in the room, and their biggest takeaways from the conference. The team also issues an urgent warning about a sophisticated phishing scam targeting CoinKite customers with fake letters about quantum cryptography updates.</p> <p> </p> <p>The episode also covers fake Sparrow Wallet apps that have been stealing Bitcoin from App Store users, twin July 1st regulatory deadlines — Australia's travel rule attaching identity data to self-custody withdrawals, and the EU's MiCA rules set to knock out 80% of exchanges serving European customers. And finally, a freshly resigned leader earns himself our Donkey of the Week.</p> <p> </p> <p>—------------------------</p> <p> </p> <p>⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:</p> <p> </p> <p>0:00 Intro – BTC Prague Recap</p> <p>2:04 Saylor vs Tony: Two Very Different Bitcoin Speeches</p> <p>9:00 Warning: CoinKite Phishing Scam</p> <p>17:37 Fake Sparrow Wallet Apps in the App Store</p> <p>21:40 Australia Travel Rule & the July 1st Deadline</p> <p>29:20 EU MiCA Rules: Get Off Exchanges Now</p> <p>32:31 Donkey of the Week</p> <p> </p> <p>—------------------------</p> <p> </p> <p>🎧 LISTEN TO OUR POD & OTHER EPISODES:</p> <p> </p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheBitcoinWay">https://www.youtube.com/@TheBitcoinWay</a></p> <p>Rumble: <a href="https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinway">https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinway</a></p> <p>RSS: <a href="https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss">https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss</a></p> <p> </p> <p>🎙ABOUT OUR SHOW:</p> <p> </p> <p>On Bitcoin Banter, Michael and members of The Bitcoin Way team discuss current events related to Bitcoin, macroeconomics, finance, politics, and more.</p> <p> </p> <p>Follow Michael on X: <a href="https://x.com/theothermjordan">https://x.com/theothermjordan</a></p> <p>Follow Tony on X: <a href="https://x.com/V4BTC">https://x.com/V4BTC</a></p> <p>Follow Katie on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@bitcoinkatie">https://www.youtube.com/@bitcoinkatie</a></p> <p> </p> <p>🔗CONNECT WITH US:</p> <p> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway_">https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway_</a></p> <p>N: npub1lrj3lsskez59qu68v5fpnur7ythe7s5e4qcelclha6t6r9q5pqgsl2m</p> <p>LI: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/">https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/</a></p> <p>IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway_">https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway_</a></p> <p>TT: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway">https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway</a></p> <p>🗞️: <a href="https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter">https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter</a></p> <p> </p> <p>❗DISCLAIMER:</p> <p> </p> <p>This show is for entertainment purposes only.
