"You wouldn't buy a hundred dollars safe off of Amazon and put a million dollars in it. But that's kind of what Bitcoiners are doing with their hardware wallets." On this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Erik Cason and Jesse Posner, founders of Vora, join Walker to discuss Bitcoin self-sovereignty, privacy, and security in the age of hyperbitcoinization. They explore how Vora's decentralized cryptographic key storage and advanced privacy tools—like zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments—are designed to empower Bitcoiners with true custody, physical protection, and credible deterrence from $5 wrench attacks to 6102 events. The conversation ties American constitutional values and the castle doctrine to Bitcoin's rise, critiques fiat systems and TradFi narratives, and envisions a future where Bitcoiners own their safety, privacy, and freedom in a post-fiat world. https://vora.io/ FOLLOW ERIK: X: https://x.com/Erikcason Nostr: https://primal.net/erikcason FOLLOW JESSE: X: https://x.com/jesseposner Nostr: https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqs93lfkaetywpwqkqteju07cr23hns9gt0m7l65d8n66ecfe7lh84syz8q5w THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners: > GET FOLD: https://use.foldapp.com/r/WALKER > SIGN UP FOR THE FOLD BITCOIN REWARDS CREDIT CARD: https://foldapp.com/credit-card?r=UZoiP > Get the BITKIT mobile wallet: https://get.bitkit.to/walker > http://bitbox.swiss/walker -- use promo code WALKER for 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet. ***** If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following: FOLLOW ME (Walker) on @WalkerAmerica on X | @TitcoinPodcast on X | Nostr Personal (walker) | Nostr Podcast (Titcoin) | Instagram Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on Fountain | YouTube | Spotify | Rumble | EVERYWHERE ELSE

Erik Cason is a Bitcoin philosopher who began his crypto journey in 2012, later working at Coinbase to expand Bitcoin access. His book, Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin, published in 2023 by Bitcoin Magazine Books, dives into Bitcoin's deeper implications beyond finance. Using continental philosophy, Cason explores how Bitcoin's cryptography empowers personal freedom, challenges state control, and redefines sovereignty. It's a thought-provoking read for those interested in Bitcoin's political and societal impactBUY THE BOOK: https://a.co/d/76aBJJsSUPPORT THE SHOW: slygoomba@blink.sv

In this intellectually charged episode of Rugpull Radio, GMoney sits down with philosopher and crypto OG Erik Cason for a mind-expanding conversation that goes way beyond Bitcoin. Together, they explore the concept of crypto sovereignty, the rise of cyphernets as a new digital battleground, and how Bitcoin operates not just as money, but as a military-grade protocol designed to upend authoritarian control structures. Erik breaks down how cryptography enables individuals to reclaim agency in a surveillance-dominated world, why privacy is foundational to freedom, and how the architecture of blockchain networks can shift global power away from outdated institutions. They unpack the philosophical, historical, and spiritual stakes of this emerging digital revolution, touching on Nietzsche, ZK tech, and the nature of resistance in a post-truth era. If you're ready to challenge the status quo and dive deep into the world where technology meets philosophy and freedom, this episode delivers the payload.

“Bitcoin is a sort of systemic cleanup of the world's economy and the world's political economy as well.” My guests today are American HODL and Erik Cason. HODL is an OG Bitcoiner, speaking on bitcoin stages and podcasts around the world, and Erik is a crypto-anarchist and author of “Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin.” In this episode American HODL and Erik discuss how they shifted from traditional status-quo left political ideologies to embracing Bitcoin, criticizing the broken political system and dissatisfaction with leading candidates. They examine technology's impact on democracy, privacy erosion, and brainwashing algorithms. Technology, Bitcoin, and individualism are seen as means to challenge the current political system, emphasizing questioning political beliefs and using technology for individual and community-centered empowerment. They highlight the failures of the political establishment, the need for systemic cleanup, and Bitcoin's potential to check government power and bring about global change. Bitcoin can protect individuals and communities in a failing system, empower marginalized groups, and align with left-leaning values.

“There's a mechanism of horror and death that our money directionally contributes to, and we have no democratic processes to actually resist it, and furthermore, when we do try to resist it we're criminalised…and to me that's what Bitcoin has always represented is we can actually say ‘no' now; and, yeah, maybe they can lock me up or do whatever they want, but they can't have my money.”— Erik CasonAmerican HODL is an OG Bitcoin investor and Erik Cason is a cypherpunk and author of Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin.

My guest today is Erik Cason, a Crypto-anarchist, cypherpunk, and iconoclast, who believes in sovereignty through cryptography. He's a Bitcoin educator and the author of “Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin”.  In this episode we explore the themes of resistance, courage, and questioning, while highlighting the awakening of consciousness and the pursuit of truth. We delve into the concept of anarchism and its relationship to Bitcoin and cryptography, the importance of anonymity and sovereignty in the digital age and the potential for a new political paradigm. Erik touches on the limitations of academia and the need for open dialogue and exploration of forbidden thinkers and ideas. We explore the importance of critical thinking, the dangers of complacency, and the probable potential for a dystopian future. We observe the phenomena of waking up from societal conditioning and reclaiming sovereignty, and use examples such as Covid & Climate.  Erik believes that Bitcoin provides a pathway to freedom and empowerment, but warns against the financialization of Bitcoin. He encourages the development of circular economies and the utilization of Bitcoin for direct peer-to-peer transactions. Despite the challenges ahead, he's hopeful for a present and future where individuals break free from systems of power and control. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, subscribe and support my work.

I catch up again with Ben Jarvie a writer and kiwi Bitcoiner working for Amber App, a Bitcoin-only exchange. We talk about Ben's recent travels to El Salvador and Madeira, and we reflect on the declining situation of my beloved home country, New Zealand, and in particular the economic violence that the State and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand continues to unleash upon the people through its egregious manipulation of the money. But that said, we know that Bitcoin fixes this, and we are here to build bridges and meet people where they are at! ‍--- Connect with The Transformation of Value X: ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/TTOVpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Nostr at: npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu Or send an email to hello@thetransformationofvalue.com and I will get back to you! --- Support The Transformation of Value: Bitcoin tip address: bc1qlfcr2v73tntt6wvyp2yu064egvyeery6xtwy8t Lightning tip address: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠codyellingham@getalby.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you send a tip please email or DM me so I can thank you! --- Links: Previous episode with Ben - https://www.thetransformationofvalue.com/episodes/maori-sovereignty-and-self-determination-through-bitcoin-with-ben-jarvie Amber App - https://amber.app/ Reserve Bank considers the digital dollar: 'NZ's money must innovate to stay relevant' - https://archive.md/wip/QLHtP The Crypto Sovereignty Project by Erik Cason - https://cryptosovereignty.org/ NZ On Nostr - https://primal.net/p/npub1fvzm7pn3p0hjxkdvsdlc2lyjew02xhsnsr9pw2pj9f4zzas0gjxs3er9hy The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell - https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/588138 BIP 85 deterministic entropy info - https://bip85.com/ King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Robert L.

Erik Cason is a cypherpunk and author of Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin. In this interview, we discuss his book, philosophy, censorship in academia, and Erik's personal journey from socialism to anarchism. We also talk about technology's use for state control and violence, the potential of Bitcoin to decentralize power, the philosophical implications of Bitcoin, the potential of living in a virtual world and the nature of consciousness. - - - - Erik Cason is a philosopher, cypherpunk, crypto-anarchist, educator and author. He has just published a book exploring the intersection of Bitcoin, sovereignty, and cryptography in the 21st century. The book's basis was a series of essays Eric has produced over the years that have focused on the philosophical and sociological aspects of cryptography and Bitcoin. Eric shared his journey from the Occupy Wall Street movement to discovering Bitcoin and embracing anarchism. His experience of being beaten by the police during a protest led to his realization that the state cannot be relied upon for help. We also discussed the accountability of police officers when they use their firearms, comparing the UK to the US. Our discussion touched on the dangers of a monopoly on violence by the state, mentioning historical genocides and the efficiency of the current Chinese Uighur genocide in eradicating a people's culture. We talked about the normalization of weapons of mass destruction and the potential for a nuclear holocaust. We debated whether Bitcoin can end wars versus the concept of an "infinity war" perpetuated by the state. Eric suggested that Bitcoin represents a return to truth in a world that has become nihilistic and devoid of values. He talked about how through advanced mathematics and cryptography, Bitcoin allows for a monetary system that enables true accountability. Bitcoin is a radical way of regaining control over money and limiting the overbearing nature of governments, allowing individuals to make ethical choices even in the face of destruction. Eric fundamentally believes that Satoshi Nakamoto opened up a new frontier for warfare on the internet and provided a space for rebellion movements to operate against oppressive states. That tool still relies on humans who believe in freedom, taking agency: it is vitally important for everyone to take responsibility for addressing societal issues to ensure a better future for our children. - Show notes: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/how-bitcoin-fights-tyranny This episode's sponsors: Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.

Eric suggested that Bitcoin represents a return to truth in a world that has become nihilistic and devoid of values. He talked about how through advanced mathematics and cryptography, Bitcoin allows for a monetary system that enables true accountability. Bitcoin is a radical way of regaining control over money and limiting the overbearing nature of governments, allowing individuals to make ethical choices even in the face of destruction. Eric fundamentally believes that Satoshi Nakamoto opened up a new frontier for warfare on the internet and provided a space for rebellion movements to operate against oppressive states. That tool still relies on humans who believe in freedom, taking agency: it is vitally important for everyone to take responsibility for addressing societal issues to ensure a better future for our children.- - - - This episode's sponsors:Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.

von Erik Cason – Originaltitel: «The Oath of Machines, Liturgy of Code, and Promise of Bitcoin« “Es ist diese spektakuläre, scheinbar unbrechbare Macht, die in der Kryptographie zu finden ist, die der eigentliche Beweis für die Immanenz eines Gottes ist, der die Menschheit so spektakulär liebt, dass er diese neue Art von gesellschaftlicher Übereinkunft, die jenseits jeglicher Gewalt oder Gesetz ist, allein durch Code und Kryptografie in die Welt gesetzt hat. Mit dieser Macht kann er alles verändern.” (Eric Cason) Heute lese ich für Euch einen weiteren faszinierenden Artikel, der sich mit dem Konzept der Souveränität beschäftigt, und darstellt, wie Bitcoin im Vergleich zum alten System nicht nur revolutionär, sondern regelrecht messianisch ist. Wenn Ihr bereits die beiden anderen Lesungen des Autors gehört habt (#125: «Kryptografie, Wahrheit und Macht», #135: „Die politische Theologie von Bitcoin“), dann wisst Ihr, dass Erik ein wortgewaltiger Autor ist, fast hat man das Gefühl, dass er vom „Geist“ Bitcoins (oder vielleicht Satoshis

von Erik Cason – Originaltitel: “Crypto, Truth and Power” “Ich glaube, dass Satoshi Nakamoto, wer auch immer er/sie/es ist/sie/es war, in erster Linie ein Stratege der Cypherpunk-Traditionen war. Das ist extrem wichtig, denn wir müssen verstehen, dass die motivierende Ideologie nicht irgendeine Art von staatskapitalistischer Natur war oder idiotische Reichtumsphantasien von Lambos und anderer kindischer Schwachsinn, sondern eine explizit krypto-anarchistische.” (Erik Cason) Ein gleichermaßen hoffnungsvoller wie auch brisanter Text: Welche Ziele verfolgten die Cypherpunks, und wie könnten die betreffenden Veränderungen innerhalb der Gesellschaft evtl. in der Zukunft verlaufen? Es geht um die Grundlagen dessen, was Kryptografie aus einer philosophischen Perspektive ist, und um die Dynamik der Macht zwischen Individuum und Staat.

In todays episode I spoke with Erik Cason about The Crypto Sovereignty Project. We also discussed why bitcoin is a vote against the fake democracy we live in today and how it can make war have a real cost to governments and potentially remove the incentive for them to kill innocent human beings.  Cryptosovereignty is the personal power, economic liberty, and political praxis that exist in bitcoin directly, crypto assets generally, and the internet widely. It is the power of any single human — no matter their station of birth, class of wealth, or creed of faith — to choose to put their economic, social, and political rights into a new digital common-wealth that is inviolable and beyond the power of any and all governments to violate. "[We will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography] Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years. Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own." –Satoshi Nakamoto It was a pleasure speaking to Erik and I urge anyone who has not yet read his work to check it out in the links bellow.  If you enjoyed the episode, please let us know by liking and/or subscribing to the video and podcast.

In this episode Cedric sits down with Erik Cason to discuss sovereignty, cryptography, modernity, karma, nihilism, and how Bitcoin has decrypted the most spectacular form of The Political that exists; the political nature of money itself.  Erik Cason is a Crypto-anarchist, cypherpunk, iconoclast, and makarismos. "Don't let anyone fool you. Bitcoin is the most political object on the planet. Why? Because no state can stop it, and it is an existential threat to every fiat money in existence today. It is the promise of money totally severed from the state—the most political objective." This podcast is brought to you by River.

”Power cannot be created in the Cyphernet through violence or subjection, but only through consensual agreement with the Other” - Erik Cason. I love Erik's perspective on the future of humanity and how Bitcoin serves a massive role in the liberation of humanity but he also cautions on what could happen to humanity if we do not adopt a new way soon. Erik has been involved with Bitcoin since 2012 and working in the Bitcoin industry since 2013. He writes about the philosophical aspects of Bitcoin at Cryptosovereignty.org and will have a book coming out soon exploring his ideas around the intersections of Bitcoin, cryptography and sovereignty in deeper detail.  https://cryptosovereignty.org/ Twitter - @erikcason “And also that we're trapped in this infinite cage, that there's literally no way to extricate ourselves from it except through cryptography, just because the panopticon is too large, it's too powerful, it's too all-seeing, and the only way to technologically reverse it is to rebuild the web with its backbone being built on top of cryptography. And Bitcoin seems to be this nascent backbone of it.”

Erik talks with me about the opportunity and responsibility we have to sort out the money, ourselves and the world for the coming generations in a way that our parents and grandparents did not do. We also talk about his psychedelic experiences in the spirit world and how the role of god can be seen in different ways. How the fall from force and authority can lead to a dark age or a light age and many more topics were covered in this inspiring conversation.

How we must conduct ourselves, for it is WE, The True Bitcoiners, who shall inherit the earth. In this episode, we explore: Why is conditioning so effective. Nature VS Nurture. Masters & Slaves UBI - good / bad / dumb / accelerant? Honesty & Privacy ? Privacy = Selective Honesty. What is Bushido? --> Japanese word that literally means "warrior way". Bushi: "warrior" = literally 'military + man'. Do: road, or way Bushido is also used as an overarching term for all the codes, practices, philosophies and principles of samurai culture. Bushido formalized earlier samurai moral values and ethical code, most commonly stressing a combination of sincerity, frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery and honour until death It allowed the violent existence of the samurai to be tempered by wisdom, patience and serenity A code often unuttered to unwritten. Requires a rite of passage, and in order to become a Samurai, one must master this code. Variations by clan, by tribe and by territory. (Localism in action) Similarities to the European concept of chivalry? Differences to Chivalry? Eight virtues of Bushidō (as defined by Nitobe Inazō): Righteousness (義, gi) Heroic Courage (勇, yū) Benevolence, Compassion (仁, jin) Respect (礼, rei) Honesty (誠, makoto) Honour (名誉, meiyo) Duty and Loyalty (忠義, chūgi) Self-Control (自制, jisei) The Bushido of Bitcoin??

Today I discuss anarchy and bitcoin values with Erik Cason. Erik is a writer and computer scientist. Erik has been a part of the anarchy movement for decades and got majorly involved through the occupy wall street movement. Erik backed into bitcoin through the principles of self-sovereignty and freedom from the Government. We discuss the "State" and Erik defines what/who they are and the risk they purpose in our life. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation I had with Erik. It's important we realize that "the time is now" for us to pull together and focus on fixing the monetary policy within America. --------------------------------------------------Please make sure to like, subscribe and hit the notification bell.

The word “fiat” is growing more aggrandized in the modern lexicon, however, despite its increasing popularity it is often ill defined or misused. I regularly observe people falsely call Bitcoin a fiat currency. This is thanks, not least of all, to the layman's poor grasp of history and money. Fiat is of Latin origin, meaning authoritative sanction; a decree, command or order. Fiat does not mean “backed by nothing” or “redeemable for nothing” or “pegged to nothing.” - HAC A walk through the history of monetary expansion, the constant, and inevitable consequences, and how Bitcoin is set to change the fundamental flaw through which such manipulation is even possible.

"Here's the deal with the US infrastructure bill: A new provision has been added that expands the Tax Code's definition of "broker" to capture nearly everyone in crypto, including non-custodial actors like miners, forcing them all to KYC users. This is not a drill" - Jake Chervinsky The government is trying to sneak in an incredibly arduous and expansive redefinition of the tax code that could be interpreted as so broad to essentially encompass every computer and piece of software running in the Bitcoin industry. This will be a disaster for the open monetary network within the United States. Today we read a great thread breaking down the issue from Jake Chervinsky and talk at length about what we can do.

"Many tellings of El Salvador's story have largely overlooked and understated the role of the Lightning Network. But make no mistake: any country could have adopted bitcoin five or eight years ago. The base layer hasn't changed much. The new ingredient, the innovation that has made this possible and is opening up all kinds of possibilities for the future, is Lightning.” - Roy Sheinfeld Today we dive back into Lightning in another excellent article from Breez Tech founder Roy Sheinfeld exploring how Lightning has brought us to today, and how to scale it to the entire world. Even though it's often thought of as a part of the background regarding the recent El Salvador announcement, to the contrary, it's truly at the center of everything that is happening. With a major shout out to Michael Peterson from Bitcoin beach and the Lightning proof of concept, we read Roy's excellent article, "Scaling Lightning: To El Zonte... And Beyond!"

"Owning bitcoin is often put in contrast to owning stock in a company that produces a good or service. In virtue of the company producing a good or service and receiving money for the good or service, stock in that company is said to have intrinsic value. Methods of calculation of the intrinsic value of a stock usually involve calculating the value of the assets the company has and/or the expected future earnings. Bitcoin is not a company and produces no goods or services '" so it lacks intrinsic value. So goes the criticism." - Bradley RettlerWhy is it so difficult for people to wrap their heads around the idea of Bitcoin's value?

"For decades, economists have pointed to 17th-century tulipmania as a warning about the perils of the free market. Writers and historians have reveled in the absurdity of the event.

"Bitcoin (BTC, the currency) in its current form can scale – enough to process every txn in the world! It just needs the right combination of layer2s." - Paul Sztorc What would it look like if we could use sidechains today to scale Bitcoin to the worldwide payments capacity?

"Bitcoin (BTC, the currency) in its current form can scale – enough to process every txn in the world! It just needs the right combination of layer2s." - Paul Sztorc What would it look like if we could use sidechains today to scale Bitcoin to the worldwide payments capacity?

"Of course, “developing your own cryptosystem” is the purview of only cranks and researchers, so it was reasonably assumed that none of these “altcoins”, as they were called, could ever be plausibly presented for public use. Boy, were we ever wrong on that one" - Andrew Poelstra How did we find ourselves in an environment where people copy/paste "crypto tokens" on a daily basis, and foundational cryptographic infrastructure is tossed around like casino chips? Prior to the days of Bitcoin, no one would have ever taken such projects seriously, but enter the ability to make money off fools and everything changes.

"Perhaps Bitcoin can help Americans reflect on our history and remember that our true glory, in Adams's words, is 'œnot dominion, but liberty,' and that our true march is 'œof the mind' and not the sword." - Alex GaldsteinHappy Independence Day fellow Audionauts! This is the day to celebrate the American experiment and the ideals which it sought to achieve. An ideal of "all men created equal," individual liberties, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and so many more revolutionary principles that have been the foundation for the outlaw of slavery, the civil rights movement, & human rights movements around the world.So where do we separate "America the idea" from "America the political system?"

Our featured writer this month is one of our favourite Bitcoiners, Erik Cason - @erikcason Erik manages to combine seriously deep and cosmic ideas with an illustrious writing style that is as honest as it is beautiful and an impressive understanding of history. As much as we like his writing though, and boy do we love it, we enjoy his interviews even more. Personable, self-deprecatingly honest and insightful, you are always left with plenty to chew on and with wind in your proverbial sails. Interviewing Erik is our good friend John Vallis from the Rapid Fire Bitcoin podcast. In our optics, the best interviewer in the space and always a conduit for truly excellent conversations. This chat is no different and left us feeling high, if occasionally a little wet behind the eyes. Amazing stuff!

Bitcoin and the cryptographic systems that empower it, are not merely another new tech to make use of. They are a fundamental shift in the ability to defend value from organized violence. The impact on the world will be impossible to measure. We go deep down the rabbit hole in this excellent chat with Erik Cason, author of the cryptosovereignty.org blog. Follow Erik on twitter, and check out his amazing pieces we've read on the podcast below: https://twitter.com/Erikcason The Political Theology of Bitcoin: https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/Read_398---The-Political-Theology-of-Bitcoin-Erik-Cason-eemvs1 Crypto, Truth, & Power: https://anchor.fm/thecryptoconomy/episodes/Read_448---Crypto--Truth--Power-Erik-Cason-ekv73s And don't forget to add me as a contact in your Hexa Wallet!

“I believe that Satoshi Nakamoto, Whoever he/she/it/them is/was, was first and foremost a strategist of the cypherpunk traditions. This is extremely important because we need to understand the motivational ideology was not one of any sort of state capitalist nature, or idiotic wealth fantasies of lambos and other childish bullshit, but an explicit crypto-anarchist one.” - Erik Cason Cryptography was, before anything else, a weapon of war. How can this perspective inform the type of revolution Bitcoin truly enables? As a re-codification of the relations of power between the state and the individual, what does a system like Bitcoin do to the world? When authority is replaced by truth, as the source of legitimacy, nothing in the world will remain unchanged.
