Podcasts about BIP

"Bitcoin is not physical gold. You can kill Bitcoin." Matthew Kratter — who runs Bitcoin University, did a PhD in literature under René Girard, and ran global macro at Peter Thiel's hedge fund — joins the show to explain why he now holds nearly everything he owns in Bitcoin, and why he's become one of the loudest voices warning that Bitcoin is under attack from the inside. We trace the improbable path first: from Girard's seminar table to growing Thiel's $50M Roth into a $2 billion fund, and the 20 years trading that taught him to spot financial engineering "traps" — the same TradFi tricks he says are now being smuggled back into Bitcoin. Then it turns to the civil war happening right now: how Bitcoin Core blew open OP_RETURN and "went rogue," why spam and CSAM are an existential risk to node runners, what BIP-110 actually does, and who really controls the network (hint: not the miners, devs, or exchanges). His thesis throughout — consensus flows from culture — and his answer to all of it: stop being a spectator, run a node, and mine from home. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

"Keeping Bitcoin running is the primary concern here. Making sure that Bitcoin is available to be used as money by everyday people, any actor who wants to come onto Bitcoin and send one UTXO from one to another. That's the most important piece for me when thinking about defending Bitcoin.And the biggest difference, of course, is that this is a decentralised system. There is no central controller. There's no central control room giving out commands and saying 'this has to change, you must do this.'We are a decentralised group of individuals who are acting on the network. And so the defence of the system is not down to, say, the CEO dictating that everyone has to have their password be 64 characters and change it every three months, which is bad practise, by the way. It's everyone working together to do their part. So that's the biggest difference." ~ Luke de Wolf I sat down with Luke de Wolf to talk about the real security risks facing Bitcoin today. Luke has spent his career protecting critical industrial control systems like oil pipelines and electrical grids. Now, he is taking that hardcore cybersecurity mindset and applying it to the Bitcoin network in his brand new book, *Defending Bitcoin*. And trust me, it is a conversation you need to hear. We spent a lot of time debating the heated topic of arbitrary data and the drama surrounding BIP 110. Should we enforce strict rules to keep the blockchain pure, or is trying to force a chain split a bigger threat to Bitcoin's integrity as money? Luke actually changed his mind on this recently, and he lays out exactly why the stakes could be too high to play games with consensus. His perspective really cuts through the noise and challenges the tribal thinking happening on both sides. But we didn't just stop there. We also get into mining centralization, selfish mining attacks, and why we need to view Bitcoin as high-stakes critical infrastructure. The decisions we make now could determine if this network survives long-term.

Eine neue europäische Gemeinschaftsstudie zeigt: Das Endstadium von Putins Kriegswirtschaft hat begonnen. Der nationale Vermögensfonds ist aufgebraucht, das Haushaltsdefizit für das gesamte Jahr 2026 wurde bereits im ersten Quartal gerissen und die versteckte Staatsverschuldung über das Bankensystem klettert auf bedrohliche 50 Prozent des BIP. Rixa Fürsen bespricht mit dem Ökonomen Moritz Schularick, warum das System des Kremls einer Finanzblase gleicht, die vor dem Platzen steht und warum der Schein der unendlichen russischen Ressourcen trügt.

In dieser Episode von #Volatility sprechen Thomas Altmann, Head of Portfoliomanagement bei QC Partners, und Katharina Lehmann über Mexiko als Co‑Gastgeber der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2026 – mit besonderem Blick auf die wirtschaftliche Situation des Landes. Im Fokus stehen zentrale Kennzahlen wie BIP, Kaufkraft und Bevölkerungsstruktur sowie Unterschiede zu Deutschland. Außerdem beleuchten die beiden die Rolle des Außenhandels, die starke Abhängigkeit von den USA und die Chancen durch das neue EU‑Freihandelsabkommen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt: die wirtschaftlichen Effekte der WM, mögliche Schattenseiten sowie ein Blick auf Zinsen, Inflation, Währung und Aktienmarkt.

Is the ultimate cryptocurrency ticking toward a sudden, quantum-powered collapse? In this episode, Chris Tam, President and Head of Innovation at BTQ, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to shatter the comforting illusions many Bitcoiners still hold about the quantum computing threat. While many assume that a Q-Day attack would only disrupt future mining, Tam exposes the true, terrifying reality: Quantum computers utilizing Shor's algorithm are on an exponential trajectory to cracking the elliptic curve cryptography that safeguards individual wallets. Even worse, recent upgrades like Taproot have inadvertently introduced more vulnerable public keys into the ecosystem, making a network upgrade more complex than ever.The real crisis isn't just finding a cryptographic fix: it's time. Experts warn that migrating the entire decentralized Bitcoin network to a post-quantum standard could take upwards of seven years, but the network simply lacks the block space to move everyone before quantum adversaries are predicted to break the encryption. To bypass the political gridlock of Bitcoin core development, Tam details how BTQ surgically built a working, post-quantum Bitcoin Quantum testnet to experiment with solutions like BIP 360 in the real world. From the catastrophic ripple effects a Bitcoin hack would have on traditional financial markets to BTQ's pioneering work on day-one quantum-resistant stablecoins in South Korea, this episode is an urgent, eye-opening wake-up call for anyone holding digital assets.For more information on BTQ, visit www.btq.com/. Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker             Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

The whole crew is back for another roundtable, and things get wild right out of the gate. I sat down with Steve, Mechanic, and Jeff to talk through the absolute mess that is the current state of things. Jeff shares an update on his Canadian immigration purgatory, which spirals into a bigger conversation about living like an outlaw and whether any of us are truly free from the system. But we couldn't ignore the recent news. We talk about the crazy story of a guy who used Claude to brute-force a lost Bitcoin wallet from eleven years ago. It really makes you rethink how safe your standard passphrases actually are, and we share some wild visual memory tricks to secure your setup. We also rip into the current hype around ETF inflows and outflows. People track these numbers like they are predicting the future, but we explain why they really just tell you exactly what the market already did. And of course, we had to get into the technical fights that never seem to end. Steve brings some fresh data exposing the true bimodal distribution of network users right now. We spend a good amount of time arguing about Taproot, chain bloat, and the massive confusion between true censorship and simply stopping spam. Mechanic lays out his latest case for BIP 110 and makes a really compelling point about why the healthiest participants for the network are actually the ones willing to mine at a complete technical loss. It sounds completely backward, but it makes total sense once you hear his breakdown. We wrap things up by looking at the broader picture of decentralised movements. From Occupy Wall Street falling apart to the current crop of hijacked political factions, we ask if it is even possible to build a movement without a vulnerable central leader. Plus, we drop some thoughts on local LLMs and the ongoing Prime Trust bankruptcy drama.

Der MSCI World wurde Ende Mai neu sortiert – und der USA-Anteil klettert auf rekordverdächtige 74 Prozent. Drei Viertel Amerika, dazu jede Menge Tech und große Werte: Ist das noch ein vernünftiges Basisinvestment oder ein gefährliches Klumpenrisiko? Die beiden Wirtschaftsjournalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz diskutieren, erinnern an Japan, das Ende der 1980er mal 45 Prozent des Index ausmachte und danach ein Jahrzehnt lang für Underperformance sorgte. Die beiden gehen die Alternativen durch: FTSE All World, der breite MSCI ACWI IMI mit Schwellenländern und Small Caps, der BIP-gewichtete Amundi-FTSE All World ETF, der Länder nach Wirtschaftsleistung sortiert, und der Gerd-Kommer-Multifactor-ETF. Dazu Bullen und Bären der Woche — von Nebius (plus 645 Prozent in einem Jahr) über Alphabets Rekord-Kapitalerhöhung von 80 Milliarden Dollar bis zur abgestürzten Beiersdorf-Aktie. Plus: die Barbell-Strategie nach Nassim Taleb und die alles entscheidende Deo-Frage. DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist.

In the May 2026 Mailbag, Jason and Jeff tackle a series of compelling listener questions, starting with a deep dive into whether "vibe coding" and agentic AI are truly an existential threat to major SaaS companies like Salesforce and Snowflake. The duo also untangles the complicated corporate web of Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC vs. BIP), exploring why the company might finally be moving to ditch its limited partnership structure. Later, they revisit the ongoing struggles at The Trade Desk, debate the concept of "regret minimization" when dealing with massive winners like Rocket Lab and Nvidia, and discuss how to properly balance single-company risk versus overall portfolio volatility. 00:48 West Coast Game Time Rant 02:46 Mailbag and Discord Shoutout 03:56 Ryan Email and Mascot Story 05:47 Baseball Chaos to Investing Lesson 07:47 AI Versus SaaS Debate 11:15 Pricing Models and Moats 22:11 Brookfield BIP Versus BIPC Explained 26:38 Why BIPC Dropped and Simplification 30:25 Discord Questions Teaser 30:52 Trade Desk Doubts 35:54 Valuation Reality Check 38:55 Execution Not Value 40:10 Rocket Lab Concentration 41:55 Regret Minimization 46:55 Singles vs Home Runs 49:22 Vinnie Risk Trimming 50:06 Three Types of Risk 54:50 Money Unplugged Reflections Companies mentioned: ADBE, ADSK, BAM, BEP, BEPC, BIP, BIPC, CRM, NBIS, NVDA, RKLB, SHOP, SNOW, TTD Find where to listen & subscribe,  portfolio contests, and contact information at https://investingunscripted.com ***************************************** To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscripted Listen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOBAll aboard the vibe trainFTF with Max TQ got some holidays coming upKeonne appealNEWSBisq v1 trade protocol exploit: 11.59 BTC drained, fully reimbursed, hardening shipped in 1.10.0 (bisq.community PSA, Bisq on X, reimbursement plan on GitHub)Disclosed: 2026-05-01Bisq's v1 trade protocol had a missing validation check on taker-side input. Because maker and taker were supposed to use the same miner fee, a malicious taker could push a bad fee value through the transaction math and shrink the multisig output to 0.001 BTC while sweeping the rest into the taker's change. Attacker drained 11.59 BTC from 10 users, all on altcoin trades. Maintainer Henrik Jannsen filed a reimbursement plan on GitHub on May 3, payouts in BTC (with BSQ as optional), DAO vote scheduled around May 25. The hotfix landed as Bisq 1.10.0 on 2026-05-16 with broader hardening: trade protocol checks, network message validation, release verification, supply-chain hardening. The Bisq team explicitly flagged the incident as a likely AI-assisted exploit, though they did not detail how AI was used.Sterlingov Appeal: The Criminalization of Privacy (therage.co)Published: 2026-05-12The appellate court reviewing Roman Sterlingov's Bitcoin Fog conviction openly suggested that mixers remain "legal in theory but not practice" once criminals use them.

Jeremy Rubin is the author of BIP 119 (OP_CTV, Check Template Verify) and co-author of BIP 348 (CSFS, Check Sig From Stack). More recently, he started working on Char: a decentralized shared sequencer for Bitcoin layer 2s. In this episode, which we recorded at the LayerTwo Labs booth during the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, we talk about the challenges involved in improving Bitcoin and why Jeremy chooses to be a relentless builder even in an adversarial environment.

Until last year, more than 1,000 restaurants in Czech Republic accepted Bitcoin. Then it all stopped. The MiCA regulation didn't ban Bitcoin in Europe. It did something far more effective — it made the rails impossible to operate. And as the Czech merchant economy quietly disappeared, two bigger forces started moving in the background: the petrodollar dying, and CBDCs coming online in Europe THIS YEAR. In this episode, I sit down with Matyas Kuchar — co-founder of BTC Prague, the largest Bitcoin-only conference in Europe, and one of the most thoughtful voices on European Bitcoin policy — to break down why Czech Republic became the Bitcoin capital of Europe, why the European surveillance state is spreading faster than Americans realize, and why he believes Bitcoin must win because the alternative is just so much worse. You'll learn: → How MiCA quietly killed 1,000+ Bitcoin-accepting restaurants in Czech Republic — and why it wasn't even a direct ban → Why Czech Republic became the Bitcoin capital of Europe (Trezor, Slush Pool, BIP-39, General Bytes — all started in Prague) → Why the petrodollar is dying — and what the loss of US hegemony means for global decentralization → Why Europeans use Bitcoin as money while Americans treat it as digital gold — and which approach is right → The European CBDC threat: pilots are launching THIS YEAR — and why most Americans haven't heard about it → The CBDC mechanism in Matyas's words: "You can analyze, you can control, you can surveil, you can send from a helicopter" → Why even an anarcho-capitalist now meets with politicians — and what changed his mind → Why Bitcoin is no longer just savings — it's the network of people building the future you actually want to live in

Ein möglicher US-Austritt aus der NATO würde die europäische Sicherheitsarchitektur grundlegend verändern. Studien gehen davon aus, dass Europa rund 300.000 zusätzliche Soldaten sowie Verteidigungsausgaben von etwa 3,5 Prozent des BIP benötigen würde. Besonders kritisch wären dabei die nukleare Abschreckung und die mangelnde Standardisierung der Streitkräfte.

What up vigilantes? What if you woke up one day to find your Bitcoin stack had doubled? That's the reality coming this August when Paul Sztorc launches the eCash hard fork. But while “free money” sounds great, the real story is a desperate attempt to save Bitcoin from a development culture that has started lying to itself. This isn't a giveaway. It's a rescue mission. The stigma around hard forks has been poisoning the well since the Bitcoin Cash drama. Back then it was a branding war, a fight over who owned the name. It got messy, it got toxic, and suddenly the very idea of forking became taboo. Sztorc isn't playing that game. He's running a different brand entirely (eCash, ecash.com), and he's not pretending to be Bitcoin. He's also not hitting the ground running with empty promises. The Drivechain code has been written, tested, and is runnable today on testnet at layer2labs.com/download. So what is Drivechain? It's a way to give the same 21 million coins access to unlimited optional sidechains. Layer 2s that share the original supply rather than minting new tokens. One sidechain for privacy. One for prediction markets. One for high-throughput payments. All pegged 1:1, all merge-mined back into Layer 1 so the miners get the fee revenue. No new “shitcoins” required to do the things people have been begging Bitcoin to do for a decade. This was already promised, by the way. Watch on: Odysee | YouTube | X | Rumble | Bitchute  When Blockstream raised money in 2014, sidechains were the headline. They pitched it, took the money, and quietly delivered Liquid, a federated multisig dressed up as a sidechain. The kind of “L2” we'd laugh at if Ethereum did it. Sztorc actually did the work they said they would do. Meanwhile, the gatekeeping in Bitcoin Core has gotten absurd. OP_CAT is 13 lines of code. Opt-in, ignorable, reversible. And they still won't merge it. BIP 300 (Drivechain itself) gets accused of “bringing shitcoins to Bitcoin,” which is the literal opposite of what it does. Geniuses like Jeremy Rubin have been pushed out. Lightning, or as Sztorc calls it, “Lightning Not Work,” sucks all the oxygen out of the room while failing to scale. The chief critic situation is even more telling. When Sztorc actually hired Peter Todd to write a paid critique, Todd went on stage at Baltic Honey Badger and claimed there was no code. Meaning he had never bothered to visit drivechain.info, where the download link sits at the top of the page. That's the level of seriousness Bitcoin's chief critics are operating at. The draft PRs to Core itself? Met with harassment, distractions, and irrelevant nonsense. Look at the scoreboard. Blocks are empty. Fees are nothing. Even Michael Saylor, the high priest of HODL, is barely above zero on his lifetime BTC investment, depending on the day (saylortracker.com doesn't lie). Miners are pivoting to AI. Real custody has been replaced by ETF shares and treasury company stock. We traded laser eyes for paper claims. The knee-jerk reaction will be to call eCash a “shitcoin.” That's exactly why Sztorc is giving people four months to think past it. This isn't a bet that eCash moons. It's a hedge against BTC collapsing into stagnation. If the devs keep refusing every upgrade while the network ossifies into a museum exhibit, you're going to need an off-ramp. A note for the maxis already typing. Sztorc is funding the launch by selling some of Satoshi's altruistically mined coins. Not anyone else's BTC, which isn't even possible. Yes, it's controversial. It's also what gives early supporters skin in the game so the fork launches with momentum instead of dying as another well-intentioned ghost chain. Come August, your BTC splits into two. You can sell one for more of the other. You can hold both. You can ignore the whole thing. But don't ignore it without looking first.

In this April 2026 Mailbag, Jason and Jeff tackle a massive listener question about portfolio concentration in retirement, debating the merits of holding onto tiny "VC-minded" positions like Warby Parker and QuantumScape versus consolidating into bigger winners. They also provide an update on the "boring" but beautiful Brookfield Infrastructure, exploring its pivot toward modern assets like semiconductor fabs and its impressive 17-year streak of dividend increases. Later, they unpack the nuances of the private credit scare—and why major banks might have more exposure than investors realize. 00:35 Spotify Review Challenge04:43 Retirement Portfolio Breakdown06:20 Concentration vs Diversification10:54 Options Income Bucket12:49 Trim Small Positions17:58 Enjoy Investing vs Indexing19:57 Taxes and Ezra Klein Plug20:55 Brookfield Infrastructure Update22:52 Modern Infrastructure Shift23:21 Intel Ohio Fab Deal23:47 Energy Pivot Opportunities24:35 Leadership Sam Pollock26:38 Market Sensitivity Brookfield28:35 Dividend Yield Return Math30:45 Private Credit Reality Check37:06 Risk Discounting Framework38:35 AI Prompts Investing Workflow40:41 AI Bias And Transcript Shortcuts46:52 Comment Of The Month WrapCompanies mentioned: ADBE, AXON, BAM, BIP, BIPC, INTC, JPM, NVDA, OWL, QS, ROKU, SOFI, WFC, WRBY, ZMFind where to listen & subscribe,  portfolio contests, and contact information at https://investingunscripted.com*****************************************To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscriptedListen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.

From Apple Inc. to Alphabet Inc., Shopify Inc., Brookfield Corporation and more, we break down why we sold, what we learned, and how those experiences shaped our investing philosophy today. We also discuss the emotional side of investing, why patience matters, and how short-term thinking can destroy long-term returns. Plus, we react to Lululemon Athletica Inc. hiring a former Nike, Inc. executive as CEO and whether the selloff could create an opportunity for investors. If you’ve ever sold a stock too soon, this episode is for you. Tickers of stocks discussed: AAPL, GOOGL, SHOP, BN, BIP, BEP, FFH, PWR, LULU, NKE, ATZ, AAPL, OVV Subscribe to our Our New Youtube Channel!

After 15 years of being a Bitcoin-only maximalist and about a decade of promoting BIP300 as a soft fork, LayerTwo Labs CEO Paul Sztorc decided to launch Ecash: a hard fork of Bitcoin in which every BTC holder gets free coins. There's a catch, though: while everyone can claim 1 ecash for every bitcoin that they own, Satoshi can only claim half. Meaning that a returning Satoshi will only be able to claim half his coins, while the other half (550k) is currently being sold to investors in order to fund the development and bootstrapping of Ecash. What's more controversial: the hard fork or the SHAD (Satoshi Half Air Drop)? Only time will tell. But the Ecash hard fork is scheduled to happen in August 2026... unless Bitcoin activates BIP300 in the meantime. Game theory at its finest! Time stamps: 00:00:58 – Paul Sztorc announces the new Bitcoin hard fork project, eCash, sharing his motivation for launching it and setting the stage for the discussion. 00:03:02 – eCash's technical details are explained, including its smaller 400kB block size and the integration of drivechains (BIP 300) to enhance scalability and flexibility. 00:04:55 – The initial drivechains launching with eCash are described, such as Thunder for scalability, ZSide for privacy, and additional chains like CoinShift, BitNames, and Photon. 00:09:28 – Security aspects of sidechains are discussed, covering the 256 sidechain limit, potential outcomes if sidechains fail, and the risks users face when moving coins. 00:14:26 – The project's name, Ecash, is revealed, with a comparison to Bitcoin Cash and an explanation of the naming decision. 00:15:40 – Paul delves into the philosophy behind the hard fork, his views on Bitcoin maximalism, and his intention to remain committed to both Bitcoin and eCash. 00:20:35 – Mining dynamics are explored, including SHA256 mining competition, miner incentives, and the potential for MEV (miner extractable value) issues. 00:22:36 – Paul critiques the current state of Bitcoin, highlighting user and developer frustration, stagnation, low transaction fees, and gridlock in development. 00:29:40 – The potential for eCash to attract frustrated Bitcoin builders is considered, with references to similar migrations in crypto history. 00:31:38 – Ethereum's rise is analyzed as a consequence of Bitcoin's block size wars, with discussion on missed opportunities and lessons learned. 00:41:06 – The likelihood and impact of further Bitcoin hard forks are speculated upon, focusing on community fragmentation and effects on value. 00:41:49 – Hard forks are framed as healthy competition that benefits investors by providing free coins and stimulating innovation. 00:48:20 – The decision to reassign half of Satoshi's coins for development and community incentives is explained, addressing concerns about distribution. 00:54:07 – Quantum computing threats, Satoshi's mining behavior, and the rationale for the coin distribution are discussed in the context of long-term security. 01:36:00 – Users are advised to self-custody their Bitcoin to claim eCash, with an outline of the claiming process and best practices. 01:39:01 – Technical steps for claiming eCash using private keys are detailed, including wallet compatibility and the process for users. 01:43:26 – The potential for NFT and ordinal activity on eCash is addressed, along with how LayerTwo Labs will manage onboarding and network congestion. 01:45:35 – Drivechain security parameters are confirmed, with eCash using a 13,000-block security window in line with BIP 300's Bitcoin implementation. 01:52:06 – The transition from a centralized project launch to decentralized development and governance. 01:54:36 – The current developer team size (about nine members) is shared, along with incentives for external developers to contribute to eCash. 01:58:26 – eCash is compared to Bitcoin Cash, with discussion on network effects, competition, and the potential for eCash to drive improvements in Bitcoin. 02:07:22 – The session concludes with future plans, a call for community engagement, and the possibility of follow-up discussions as the project evolves.

El protocolo BIP-361 propone que todos los propietarios de Bitcoin migren sus claves públicas a otras resistentes a la computación cuántica en un plazo de 5 años. Si no lo hacen, sus fondos quedarían congelados de forma irreversible. El principal afectado sería Satoshi Nakamoto, el creador de Bitcoin, con más de 1,1 millones de BTC (~80.000 millones de dólares) intocados desde 2010. Hosted on Acast.

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOBPrime Time reminder (FTF + Week 3)Vegas coming upNEWSRoman Storm Acquittal?? - The RageRule 29 hearing in SDNY. Retrial dates floated: Oct, Nov, Jan 2027.Gov theory: running Tornado Cash was criminal, but mixers aren't illegal and it wasn't criminal at inception. Failla: so when did liability start?Gov collapsed UI and protocol. Claimed Tornado Cash itself transferred funds — user wallets as "instrumentalities."Only 15% of volume was illicit across the charged period.Failla to prosecutor: "I might argue you were doing better before you started talking."BIP-361 - LinkNew proposal from Jameson Lopp and others (submitted 14 April) to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers.Quantum computers could one day crack the cryptography Bitcoin uses today (ECDSA/Schnorr). BIP-361 forces everyone to move to new quantum-safe address types before that happens.Two phases: first, you can't send to old-style addresses. Five years later, old-style coins can't be spent at all. If you haven't moved your coins by then, they're frozen.Controversial because it means coins that don't migrate get effectively confiscated — including Satoshi's ~1M BTC and anything on lost seeds. Breaks Bitcoin's "your coins are yours forever" promise.BitMEX pushed back with a "wait and see" alternative: only freeze coins if quantum is actually proven to exist.Foundation angle: if you hold your own keys, you just migrate when new address types ship. The people at risk are exchange users, lost-seed holders, and very old wallets.Bitcoin Depot Hacked - 50.9 BTC ($3.7M) Stolen - Bitcoin Magazine / SecurityWeekPublished: Breach detected March 23, disclosed April 8-9, 2026Bitcoin Depot, the largest crypto ATM operator in the US (9,000+ machines, 47 states), lost 50.9 BTC after attackers gained control of credentials for digital asset settlement accounts. Customer data was not affected. SEC disclosure filed April 8.Talking points: Centralised custodians are honeypots. One set of credentials = nearly $4M gone. The 16-day gap between detection and disclosure is worth noting. Compare with self-custody where there is no single point of failure.Kraken Insider Extortion - Support Staff Recruited by Criminal Groups - CoinDeskPublished: April 13, 2026A criminal group is extorting Kraken after two insider incidents where support staff inappropriately accessed data from ~2,000 client accounts. No funds were at risk. Kraken warned of coordinated insider recruitment campaigns targeting crypto, gaming, and telecom firms.Talking points: Your exchange account is only as secure as the lowest-paid support worker with access to your data. This is organised, coordinated insider recruitment across multiple industries. Self-custody eliminates this counterparty risk entirely. Credit to Kraken for transparency and refusing to pay.Fake Ledger Live app on Mac App Store - Coindesk$9.5M drained from 50+ victims between 7–13 April via fake Ledger Live macOS app on Apple's App Store.Hits across BTC, ETH, Tron, Solana, XRP.

BIP 361: Bitcoin Core devs want to FREEZE Satoshi's coins — 5.6M BTC (~30%) permanently locked to stop quantum computing attacks. Is it theft or survival? The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast debates.This week Len and Joey break down the most controversial Bitcoin proposal in years: BIP 361, the post-quantum migration plan championed by Hunter Beast that would render an estimated 5.6 million Bitcoin — including Satoshi Nakamoto's untouched stash — unspendable after a hard cutoff date.Supporters call it the only realistic defense against Shor's algorithm and a future quantum adversary capable of cracking legacy P2PKH keys. Critics call it a precedent-shattering attack on Bitcoin immutability — a civil war brewing inside Core. We walk through both sides.

They also work through who actually wrote Bitcoin — Hal Finney, Adam Back, and Dave Kleiman — and a trail that runs through the Epstein files.  Plus: Justin Sun's frozen World Liberty Financial tokens expose why token holders have no legal rights, EtherFi's exit from Scroll turns into a live platform risk case study, and Circle's decision not to freeze known stolen USDC raises the question of what stablecoin issuers owe to the ecosystem.

Professor Jiang and Ben McKenzie strike again. Meanwhile, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson argues BIP-361 is mislabeled as a soft fork and that its zero-knowledge recovery plan cannot rescue roughly 1.7 million pre-2013 bitcoin, including Satoshi's holdings.GUEST: Chris Tam President of BTQ Technologies~This Episode is Sponsored by BTQ Tech~BTQ Tech Website ➜ https://www.btq.tech/products/bitcoin-quantum00:00 Intro00:10 Professor Jiang01:00 Ben Mckenzie01:20 Ben brainwashes Jon Stewart02:40 Real FUD =  Quantum03:40 Charles Hoskinson gloats about Bitcoin quantum proposal06:30 BTQ research09:20 Energy to mine BTC10:15 BTC solution11:45 Is this happening now?12:30 Roadmap/adoption14:15 How does the tech work?15:40 Response17:00 Does this prevent a BTC Fork?18:45 Takeaway from the research#Crypto #Bitcoin #Ethereum~Bitcoin Reaches Peak FUD!

On Tax Day, we kick off POD256 #112 with a wide-ranging, host-perspective dive into home mining, open-source mining firmware, decentralized pools, and where the ASIC market is headed. We revisit the early laptop-to-industrial arc of Bitcoin mining, why home mining resurfaced around 2020, and how guides like Mining for the Streets and Home Mining for Non-KYC Bitcoin galvanized a wave of at-home tinkerers. We cover the Chinese mining ban windfall, the subsequent hash rate climb that wrecked many, and why small, open hardware like the Bitaxe matters far beyond its raw terahash. From Telegram-era sketchy miner purchases to today's growing network of community builders, we trace how the culture and tooling matured. We dig into open-source momentum: Mujina on the Braiins BCB100 control board, expanding support for S19 generations, and why Stratum V2 plus Mujina is a powerful combo for permissionless iteration. We unpack HydraPool's goals—lowering the barrier to spin up pools, P2Pool v2 coordination, and new payout strategies—alongside the realities of today's centralized FPPS landscape. We get technical on nonce space, version bits, rolling time, and why poorly specified Stratum v1 became defined by closed implementations. We also talk ASIC roadmaps (Bitmain/WhatsMiner cadence, tape-out risks), potential shifts as big miners eye AI/HPC, hosted mining vs. hash-rate rentals, the debates around BIP-0110 signaling, and the need for authentic decentralization. Finally, we preview Telehash #4 in Austin, celebrate a streak of solo-mined blocks, and invite listeners to point spare hash toward 256f to support open mining R&D.

Seine Karriere ist die vielleicht krasseste Underdog-Geschichte eines Deutschen in der Finanzwelt: Mit 26 Jahren spricht Jörg Ambrosius kein Wort Englisch, heute verantwortet er die Verwahrung eines 54-Billionen-Dollar-Vermögens für eines der wichtigsten Finanzinstitute der Welt: State Street. Über die Infrastruktur der US-Bank werden rund 13 Prozent der weltweiten Wertpapiertransaktionen abgewickelt, viel mehr Systemrelevanz geht kaum. Im OMR Podcast spricht Jörg Ambrosius darüber, was es bedeutet, für die Sicherheit eines Vermögens zu sorgen, das etwa zehn Mal so groß ist wie das BIP von Deutschland. Außerdem verrät er, wie er es von der Ausbildung bei der Volksbank Cochem bis an die Spitze eines US-Giganten geschafft hat, warum Europa regulatorisch den Anschluss verliert und warum er nicht daran glaubt, dass Bitcoin eine Zukunft haben.

Welcome to "Ahead in the Count," presented by BIP Wealth. Our Baseball Division combines their collegiate and professional baseball playing experience with financial acumen to provide expertise in life on and off the field. We aim to give ballplayers and their families a better understanding about their unique lifestyle, the opportunities that come from playing this game, and insight into the complex financial world. This is "Ahead in the Count," hosted by Nolan Alexander, from BIP Wealth. This episode hits on three critical financial market challenges shaping 2026: the private credit bubble, AI-driven SaaS disruption, and the massive 'dry powder' capital deployment problem. BIP Ventures COO and General Partner Mark Flickinger explains why the headlines are misleading, how to separate good investments from bad ones, and why disciplined investors positioned in the right segments will thrive in this volatile environment. 1. The Private Credit Bubble: Two Triangles Model Flickinger explains the core problem: 90% of private credit capital is concentrated in the top 50 firms, while deal flow remains limited. This creates a 'race to the bottom' where funds lower interest rates, remove covenants, and increase leverage to deploy capital.  2. Why Not All Private Credit Is Bad Opportunities exist at the "bottom of the pyramid" where less capital concentration creates better risk-adjusted returns. BIP's private credit strategy focuses on senior-secured, covenant-heavy credits in underserved segments.  3. SaaS Pocalypse: The AI Disruption Reality AI is rapidly displacing SaaS businesses with rules-based processes. However, SaaS companies with proprietary data or in complex workflows are seeing AI as a tailwind, not a threat. The market isn't distinguishing between companies that will thrive and those that won't survive AI displacement. 4. Liquidity Crisis: Dry Powder & The Deployment Challenge Since early 2022, hundreds of billions in private equity capital remains undeployed due to macro uncertainty (interest rates, tariffs, AI disruption). This creates a cyclical pattern: years without exits followed by 2-3 years of heavy activity. Companies that create value through downturns are best positioned for future liquidity events.

In the April 2026 First Friday livestream, Jason and Jeff break down the current "market vibes," debating whether the market's resilience is masking a hair-trigger sensitivity to AI hype and PR spin. They announce the Q1 winner of the listener portfolio contest—congratulations to Discord member Vinny G!—and review the progress of their own 2026 picks. The duo dives deep into the executive turnover at The Trade Desk, the slow-moving turnaround at PayPal, and whether Kinsale Capital is simply a cyclical price taker or a highly efficient operator. Plus, Jason reveals his new Roth 401 (k) strategy, and Jeff vehemently defends his "lazy" personal finance choices.03:01 Market Vibes Resilience06:26 AI Hype And Volatility09:54 Cybersecurity Rumor Debate12:19 Cringey AI Promo Clip14:35 Portfolio Contest Rules16:31 Q1 Winner And Charity21:09 Patreon Standings And Long Game24:22 Portfolio Reflections And Trade Desk28:00 Board Sale Speculation30:49 Backing Jeff Green32:19 Position Sizing Rules32:45 Founder vs Operator Debate37:11 Kinsale Competition Pressure38:40 Kinsale Underwriting Edge42:23 Specialty Insurance Tailwinds45:30 PayPal Value Trap Risk52:15 Roth 401k Moves55:20 Roth Optionality Strategy57:46 Favorite Dividend PicksCompanies mentioned: BIP, BIPC, BORR, CTRE, EPR, GOOG, GOOGL, KNSL, MA, MELI, NOW, PLSDF, PLTR, PYPL, RBRK, RKLB, SECYF, TTDFind where to listen & subscribe,  portfolio contests, and contact information at https://investingunscripted.com*****************************************To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscriptedListen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.

If Satoshi Nakamoto handed the keys to a single successor, is the network truly decentralized? We go deep into uncomfortable questions about who controls the Bitcoin blockchain and how the power to merge code has shifted since the Genesis block. Juan Galt (@JuanSGalt)  joins us in El Zonte to break down the history of the maintainer role. He proves that the security of our money depends on janitorial consensus rather than a single lead developer.We explore the cypherpunk origins of the protocol, looking at the private correspondence between Satoshi and Hal Finney. This lineage shows how an early culture of cryptography evolved into the modern GitHub repository. Understanding this is essential to knowing how Bitcoin survived the exit of its creator without a corporate takeover.The episode dives into the high stakes world of the private key and the nightmare of the early wallet.dat era. Juan shares stories of recovering seven figures of lost coins, highlighting the shift from 2010 hurdles to modern recovery standards. This was a fundamental upgrade for anyone holding digital gold as a lifelong savings account, moving us toward a robust sovereign standard.Building a circular economy requires a payments interface that works for a local pupuseria as well as a Wall Street fund. We discuss early adoption friction in Mexico and El Salvador, moving from the guy with the Bitcoin phone to modern tools that make daily commerce possible. It is a raw look at moving Bitcoin from a speculative asset to a local currency.Finally, we look at the internal decentralization of the Core team and how maintainers are elected without a CEO. From the Trusted Keys PGP system to the threats of quantum computing, we analyze the protocol's ability to stay hardened. This is a masterclass in the Proof of Work required to maintain the most secure financial network in history. It is about verifying code rather than trusting a person.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Juan Galt:X: https://x.com/JuanSGaltBitcoin Magazine: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/juan-galtYT: https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinMagazineLifeboat: https://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.juan.galtCompany: https://www.satlantis.io/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com STAY AT BITCOIN BEACHhttps://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro06:01 Why is the "Juan Galt" namesake a high-signal filter for Bitcoiners?10:39 What was the Toronto Decentral hub like before the Ethereum fork?14:19 What can we learn from the "Galt's Gulch" Mexico experiment?21:10 How can you recover seven-figure Bitcoin from a legacy wallet?23:38 Why was the BIP-39 seed phrase a leap for Bitcoin self-custody?36:18 How did Satoshi manage the maintainer transition to Gavin Andresen?45:45 Why did Bitcoin move to GitHub and the "Trusted Keys" PGP system?53:11 How does Bitcoin achieve consensus without a CEO or leader?59:02 Is the Bitcoin protocol truly hardened against 2026 quantum threats?Live From Bitcoin Beach
