Podcasts about Bitcoin

In this week's FOLLOW UP, Bitcoin is down 15%, miners are unplugging rigs because paying eighty-seven grand to mine a sixty-grand coin finally failed the vibes check, and Grok is still digitally undressing men—suggesting Musk's “safeguards” remain mostly theoretical, which didn't help when X offices got raided in France. Spain wants to ban social media for kids under 16, Egypt is blocking Roblox outright, and governments everywhere are flailing at the algorithmic abyss.IN THE NEWS, Elon Musk is rolling xAI into SpaceX to birth a $1.25 trillion megacorp that wants to power AI from orbit with a million satellites, because space junk apparently wasn't annoying enough. Amazon admits a “high volume” of CSAM showed up in its AI training data and blames third parties, Waymo bags a massive $16 billion to insist robotaxis are working, Pinterest reportedly fires staff who built a layoff-tracking tool, and Sam Altman gets extremely cranky about Claude's Super Bowl ads hitting a little too close to home.For MEDIA CANDY, we've got Shrinking, the Grammys, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's questionable holographic future, Neil Young gifting his catalog to Greenland while snubbing Amazon, plus Is It Cake? Valentines and The Rip.In APPS & DOODADS, we test Sennheiser earbuds, mess with Topaz Video, skip a deeply cursed Python script that checks LinkedIn for Epstein connections, and note that autonomous cars and drones will happily obey prompt injection via road signs—defeated by a Sharpie.IN THE LIBRARY, there's The Regicide Report, a brutal study finding early dementia signals in Terry Pratchett's novels, Neil Gaiman denying allegations while announcing a new book, and THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, vibing with The Muppet Show as Disney names a new CEO. We round it out with RentAHuman.ai dread relief via paper airplane databases, free Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert—still classy in the digital wasteland.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Is Bitcoin quantum ready or is it just more FUD? We dive into the technical and social battles between developers and investors over the coming quantum threat, exploring the Factor 21 meme and the high-stakes game theory of post-quantum migration. Brandon Black, Alex Pruden, Nic Carter, and GG join us to talk about whether Bitcoin is prepared for the quantum era. We explore the technical divide between developers who see quantum as a distant concern and investors who fear an unaddressed existential risk. From the Factor 21 meme to the trade-offs of post-quantum signatures like Sphinx and SLH-DSA, we break down the spicy debate that could lead to Bitcoin's most heated internal battle yet and what it means for the future of the network. Subscribe to the newsletter! https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.com Notes: * Quantum computers struggle to factor 21. * Bitcoin requires 256-bit factoring security. * Post-quantum signatures decrease throughput. * PQ signatures could force much larger blocks.

If Bitcoin is the ultimate opt-out, why can a single border guard still ruin your whole plan?Mike Peterson sits down with Alex Recouso to get into dual citizenship, second citizenship, and global mobility from a Bitcoin maxi point of view. Alex explains why 2020 was the moment the lesson clicked. Bitcoin gives you permissionless money, but your body still moves through checkpoints, visas, and policies that can change fast. That is where geopolitical risk stops being background noise and becomes a daily constraint.Alex breaks down Flag Theory in a way that fits how Bitcoiners think, treating your passport, tax residency, companies, and assets like separate flags. You place them in jurisdictions that protect your freedom, lower your dependency, and expand your options. It is the same mindset as self-custody, applied to citizenship and mobility.Then they go deep on citizenship by investment, including what countries ask for, how KYC and source of funds get tricky when your wealth is on-chain, and why some jurisdictions make Bitcoiners jump through extra hoops. If you have ever tried to explain to a bank that your “paystub” is a UTXO history, this part will feel familiar.They close by comparing the El Salvador passport (Freedom Passport) with other second citizenship paths like São Tomé and Príncipe and Saint Kitts and Nevis. The conversation covers cost, speed, scrutiny, embassy biometrics, and what you are buying when you pay more, time, access, or a country that shares your values.Subscribe, share, and comment, and if you have ever been hit with a surprise visa rule at the airport, drop it below so Mike can add it to his collection.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Alex Recouso and Citizen XX:  https://x.com/recousoX: https://x.com/CitizenXYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@recousoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@citizenxpodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexrecousoWebsite: https://recou.so/images/Website: https://citizenx.com/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 Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro02:00 Why do Bitcoiners want a second passport for global mobility?08:30 How does citizenship by investment work if your wealth is in Bitcoin?13:05 Why is the US passport getting weaker?

Stefan Molyneux digs into questions about what it means to exist, focusing on how to line up daily life with some sense of virtue and direction. He stresses the need for courage when pushing back against what society expects, and points out that being honest with yourself is key to real freedom. Drawing from a story about his own take on Macbeth, he unpacks the mess of moral choices and the inconsistencies in how society operates. Molyneux notes how conformity often gets rewarded, while ignoring your true voice leads to real drawbacks. In the end, he pushes for matching what you want with actions that hold moral weight, which can lead to stronger bonds with others and a deeper sense of satisfaction.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

This was one of the most violent crypto flushes in years. Bitcoin plunged to $60,000, a 17% intraday collapse that ranks among the 10 worst drops in BTC history. More than $2.4 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours, pushing Fear & Greed readings to levels last seen during the FTX collapse. BlackRock's IBIT ETF recorded its highest trading volume ever, while Strategy shares sank after posting a $12 billion Q4 loss. Traditional markets also struggled, but the damage was far more contained. The S&P 500 fell 1.2%, the Nasdaq slipped 1.6%, and software stocks remain under heavy pressure amid AI disruption fears. U.S. layoff announcements surged to their highest January level since 2009. Overseas, Asia closed mostly lower, Europe fared better, and one rare positive headline emerged as U.S.–Iran negotiations began in Oman, easing geopolitical stress.

This week on REKT Vision, Mando, Rekt co-founder and author of the Mando Minutes newsletter, is joined by Stats, also known as Punk9059, to discuss the biggest narratives and themes driving cryptocurrencies right now. They dissect the week's price action, including the massive selloff yesterday, the AI market narrative, and where Bitcoin could be headed next.

Shares in Amazon fell by as much as 10% after the tech giant said it planned to spend $200bn this year on capital expenditure, which includes data centres and other AI-related projects. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother Nancy was taken from her Tucson home against her will. Forced entry confirmed. DNA evidence recovered. Ransom notes demanding bitcoin sent to media outlets including TMZ. The FBI is now involved, and no suspects have been publicly identified.Criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down what investigators and prosecutors are likely building behind the scenes—and what a defense would look like if charges are ever filed.The ransom strategy is unusual. Whoever sent those notes went to media, not family. That decision creates immediate legal exposure regardless of whether the sender is the abductor. The notes reportedly contain details about the inside of Nancy's home, raising questions about authentication and chain of custody if this reaches trial.Bitcoin as a ransom vehicle changes the investigative playbook. Cryptocurrency is traceable but presents unique challenges. Faddis explains how prosecutors approach digital currency evidence and where defense attorneys find vulnerabilities.The DNA recovered from the home belongs to Nancy—but the sheriff won't confirm whether it's blood. That distinction shapes what charges can ultimately be brought. Evidence of presence differs from evidence of harm under Arizona law.Pacemaker data may be key. Investigators are reportedly using sync records to establish when Nancy went out of range of her home devices. Medical device evidence is emerging legal territory, and Faddis explains how it gets introduced—and challenged.The sheriff's public statements have already created problems. He told NBC Nancy "was harmed at the home" then walked it back. Defense attorneys pay attention to contradictions like that.Nancy requires daily medication described as potentially fatal to go without. Her age, mobility limitations, and medical dependence all elevate sentencing exposure for whoever is eventually charged.Eric Faddis breaks down the prosecution and defense angles in one of the highest-profile kidnapping cases in recent memory.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TucsonKidnapping #EricFaddis #TrueCrime #FBI #HiddenKillers #Kidnapping #BitcoinRansom #CriminalDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Join Lionel for a chaotic ride through "Speculation Nation" as he dissects the media hysteria and "Keystone Cops" investigation surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie. In this "Ventilation Friday" special, Lionel roasts pundits like Megan Kelly and Ashley Banfield while entertaining wild listener theories ranging from Mexican cartels and pacemaker hacking to conspiracies involving the Clinton Foundation. Tune in as the "Detective Hour" breaks down forensic details, Bitcoin ransom notes, and the dangers of oversharing on social media, all while navigating the "theater of the absurd".

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight as he dissects the baffling disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, questioning the validity of "ransom style notes" demanding Bitcoin and whether the Sheriff knows "what the hell he's doing". Lionel scrutinizes the media circus, ripping into Ashley Banfield for naming the brother-in-law as a suspect and analyzing whether Savannah's televised plea felt sincere or like a "job interview". Listeners call in with theories ranging from botched robberies and reverse cell phone pings to the dangers of abandoned mine shafts in the Arizona desert. Plus, a look at the historical disappearance of Helen Brock and a stern warning about the dangers of posting family photos on social media. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of **Crypto Town Hall**, host Dave and panelists tackle the question: **Is crypto dead?** They dismiss recent price capitulation as another typical cycle low, not a death knell, pointing to repeated "Bitcoin is dead" claims over the past decade that proved wrong. They highlight extreme bearish sentiment (Fear & Greed at historic lows), forced liquidations, over-leveraged positions, regulatory delays (e.g., Clarity Act), fake narratives (Epstein-Satoshi rumors, quantum threats), and macro factors, while emphasizing Bitcoin's stronger fundamentals today versus prior cycles (network growth, relative cheapness vs. gold). Panelists see this as a bottoming process with potential sideways action or relief bounces ahead, viewing the dip as a major accumulation opportunity rather than the end of crypto.

Bitcoin's sudden collapse may have come from a hidden structural pressure, not panic or on chain weakness. In this video, we break down how Bitcoin ETFs, futures, and options now drive price discovery and how stress inside these markets can force selling that never appears as traditional liquidations. With record activity in Bitcoin ETFs, the move looks less like fear and more like a forced unwind of institutional positions, revealing how synthetic supply and derivatives can overpower spot demand and move Bitcoin fast.

AI agents are no longer just tools, they're becoming autonomous economic actors. In this episode of Bitcoin Policy Hour, we explore how AI agents are already using bitcoin to transact and coordinate inside emerging bot-run economies, including early experiments like Moltbook, an AI-driven social network where autonomous agents interact with each other and, in some cases, create wallets and move value without direct human control. The discussion breaks down why bitcoin, especially when paired with Lightning is uniquely suited for machine-to-machine payments, permissionless settlement, and autonomous economic activity, and what this shift means for policy, regulation, and the future of money as machines begin to participate in real economies.

Bitcoin is the most secure network in the world, but it still carries technical debt from its earliest days. Shinobi sits down with Bitcoin Core developer Antoine Poinsot to discuss the Great Consensus Cleanup: a proposal to address four long-standing consensus risks that have existed for nearly a decade. From mitigating the Timewarp attack to preventing compounding validation and resource costs, these changes aim to protect Bitcoin's long-term security and sustainability.
