Mark Edge welcomes Light, a Bitcoin veteran since 2011, researcher, co-founder of Bitseed, and current team member at Alpen Labs, for a wide ranging conversation about the history of Bitcoin, where it stands today, and where it might be headed. They cover the block size debate, SegWit, the Lightning Network, self custody, zero knowledge proofs, and why Light believes the onus is on Bitcoin developers to make Bitcoin the best tool for the job rather than shaming people for using alternatives. Mark also shares the story of Free Talk Live being the first media outlet in the world to discuss Bitcoin, his early meeting with Gavin Andresen, and why he remains hopeful about Bitcoin despite its limitations. The conversation also turns to living free in the real world, why New Hampshire consistently ranks number one for freedom in the fifty states, what it actually feels like to move there from California, the Free State Project, and a candid discussion about polyamory.

Sal and Mark are back. This week they bring on Aaron Day to expose what is really inside the Clarity Act, what the politicians claim it does versus what it actually does, and why he believes it could be the largest surveillance bill in United States history. From freezing your funds without a warrant to giving foreign central banks access to your transaction history, the details are alarming. They also cover which cryptocurrencies they believe are the best hedge against a growing technocratic state, the case for Zano and Freedom Dollar, and how to get started in agorism through crypto meetups and conferences.

Dr. Jeff Gross, a board-certified neurosurgeon and founder of Recelebrate, joins the show to demystify peptides and regenerative medicine. He explains how frustration with the traditional healthcare system pushed him from surgery toward cellular-level healing, and breaks down what peptides actually are, why "FDA approved" is widely misunderstood, and how stem cells and exosomes work in the body. The conversation covers real-world applications — from joint and cartilage regeneration to Parkinson's symptom relief and mitochondrial repair with peptides like SS-31 and MOTS-C. Dr. Gross also tackles misconceptions around legality, telehealth treatment options, and how to vet a regenerative medicine clinic. It's a wide-ranging, myth-busting conversation for anyone curious about the future of longevity and healing.

Everyone's worried about AI taking their jobs — but David Dean, enterprise technologist and author of An Inbox Between Us, argues that's the wrong fear entirely. In this episode, David explains how AI is really acting as a mirror, exposing the "unwritten contract" of how organizations actually function beneath their official processes and org charts. He and John dig into why authenticity and transparency are becoming non-negotiable for leaders as behavioral patterns become newly discoverable, why lived experience and judgment are things AI will never replicate, and why real AI adoption starts with organizational (and personal) self-discovery rather than new tools. It's a refreshingly grounded take on AI in the workplace — less about replacement, more about revelation.

Episode 12 of Sal and Mark. Mark is back from Costa Rica and jumping straight into one of the most important conversations in crypto. Denny (@patriotsounds) from RuneBond.com joins Sal and Mark to break down THORChain, the permissionless, fully decentralized cross chain swap protocol that no government can touch. They cover how it works, what bond providers and node operators actually do, why Monero is coming to ThorChain soon and why that is a game changer, and how anyone can start using it today without ever touching the Rune token. Jeff from RanchoDelicioso.com and Anamaya.com drops in to talk about two distinct but related projects in Costa Rica. RanchoDelicioso is a voluntary, rule free eco village where like minded people can buy lots and build their own homes, with around thirty residents already living there. Anamaya is his National Geographic award winning longevity and wellness retreat nearby, offering week long immersive stays with yoga, healthy food, and stunning ocean views. Jeff talks about what makes both work and why finding the right people is the key to everything. Sal also breaks down home based agorism and how turning your hobbies into crypto side hustles is one of the lowest risk and most effective ways to participate in the counter economy today. The show rounds out with the Firo Spark segment covering Spark names, Rosenbridge, the Firo Community Fund, and why Firo's price still has not caught up with the technology.

Nine years ago today, two dudes had an idea. That idea became The Bad Crypto Podcast — and 812 episodes later, we're still here. To celebrate our ninth anniversary, Joel Comm and Travis Wright are doing something useful with all those dead NFTs in your wallet: turning them into a tax write-off. Most of the NFTs we bought are abandoned, rugged, or worth pennies. But in the U.S., a crypto loss is a capital loss — and those losses can offset your gains (plus up to $3,000/year against ordinary income). Joel built a tool with Claude that scans your wallets, finds the damage, and hands you a report for your CPA.

For 30 years, Clarence Carter worked inside America's public assistance system under two presidents, four governors, and a mayor. In this episode, he joins John Odermatt to explain why the safety net designed to lift people out of poverty often keeps them trapped instead, and what a better system could look like. Carter draws on his three decades of experience — including transforming Washington DC's homeless services program and leading welfare reform in Virginia — to argue that the problem isn't a lack of funding, but a lack of clear purpose. He walks through the 114 federal programs that make up the safety net, why they measure compliance instead of outcomes, and what it would take to build a system focused on growing people beyond dependency rather than managing it. Along the way, he shares personal stories, from handing out apartment keys to former shelter residents to a welfare recipient's tearful first paycheck, that illustrate what real freedom from the system looks like, and makes the case for a whole-of-society approach involving government, business, faith communities, and everyday citizens.

Jim Babka, the most frequent guest in Free Talk Live history, stops by to talk about the Parody Project, a new initiative bringing back Perry Willis, the man behind the legendary Project Archimedes growth strategy from the Harry Brown era. Jim and Perry Willis co-authored a plan they believe could lead to a libertarian America within ten years, and the numbers may surprise you.

Mark is joined by his wife Laura for a special conversation sparked by his recent interview with Lauren Noone (go check that one out) on what freedom really means, and how choice sits at the center of it. Here's the question that started it: if you have to pay property tax, do you really own your property, or are you just a serf paying quit rents to a modern lord? They land on this: homeownership might just be a really long lease. Is taxation theft? Depends on whether you had somewhere freer to go. Not an argument that owning a house is bad. Just another way to look at it. Sponsored by SALT Lending. Need cash without selling your Bitcoin or any other coins?

Independent analyst and Gold, Goats, and Guns host Tom Luongo joins the show to explain why he's left orthodox libertarianism behind and adopted a framework built around the City of London, the Federal Reserve, and Donald Trump's geopolitical strategy. The conversation ranges from Jerome Powell's rate hikes to Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Strait of Hormuz, Bitcoin's murky origins, and why Tom thinks most libertarian commentary misses the real centers of power entirely. Tom traces his intellectual break from the Ron Paul/Mises Institute wing of libertarianism back to the post-COVID Fed tightening cycle, arguing that the "coup" against Trump and Powell in 2020–21 mirrors a much older pattern of financial power rooted in London rather than Washington. He recounts a heated confrontation at the Mises Institute where he was cut off mid-speech for suggesting the movement update its models, and uses that story to argue libertarians are prone to the same "purity spiraling" as Bitcoin maximalists or gold bugs. From there, the discussion turns to Trump's Iran policy — framing it as less about Israel and more about dismantling chokepoints, energy dominance, and the offshore dollar system tied to the British Empire's financial remnants. Tom also lays out a theory connecting Bitcoin's DARPA origins to a broader strategy of building a new economic order outside the old London-centered system, and closes by tying Trump's moves in Venezuela and the Middle East to a long-term plan to leave the world harder to drag back into the old status quo.

Miranda Webb, featured in HBO's documentary series The Anarchists, joins Mark Edge to set the record straight on what the show got right, what it left out, and what it was actually like to live through it. She speaks candidly about the abusive relationship with her late partner, the circumstances surrounding his death in Acapulco, and why she believes the series softened a far darker reality. Miranda also opens up about the practical realities of living as a fugitive in Mexico for the past six years, from the impossibility of opening a bank account to the constant risk of immigration checkpoints, and why she has chosen to stay rather than turn herself in to face charges in Ohio. The conversation covers the difficulty of finding legal representation, the cost of justice in the American system, and her plans to eventually pursue Mexican citizenship. The episode closes on a lighter note as Miranda discusses her new role as director of operations for Anarchapulco, how the event has evolved from its chaotic early years into a more family oriented and growth focused gathering, and what is coming next with Liberpulco, the Gratitude Gathering, and Anarchapulco 2027 in Puerto Vallarta.

Mitchell Suchner, director of Arkpad, joins John Odermatt from his floating resort in the Philippines to discuss how seasteading is moving from theory to operational reality. Arkpad has deployed 14 floating Airbnb units, five large fish cages, and a working resort off the coast of Davao City — all built for under $50,000 per unit using fiberglass and stainless steel. Mitchell explains the two core structure types (the Glamp House and the oil-rig-inspired Ark Pad), the engineering challenges of open-sea conditions, and how international flagging laws create a surprisingly libertarian legal framework for life at sea. The conversation covers who seasteading is realistically for today, how the path to a stateless floating city mirrors historical frontier movements, and Arkpad's roadmap to reach international waters within five years.

Sal and Wayne Quinn are holding it down this week while Mark is on the road. Kurt Walker Jr., the world's first Bitcoin historian, joins the show to trace the full arc of crypto from David Chaum's eCash in the nineties all the way through the block size wars, the Silk Road takedown, and the deliberate hijacking of Bitcoin by banking interests tied to Jeffrey Epstein, Blockstream, and the Bilderberg group. If you think you know the history of Bitcoin, this conversation will change that. Sal and Wayne also break down decentralized identity, what it is, why it matters, and why a working version could be less than two years away. The conversation covers how blockchain based identity could replace government issued IDs, eliminate impersonation scams, and give individuals genuine control over what information they share and with whom. Mark's interview with Jay Noone of JayNoone.com rounds out the episode, covering life on a New Hampshire homestead, Man Camp, EMP proof vehicles, and why building a community of useful, valuable, and competent people is the real path to freedom.
