This is an emergency episode to warn everyone of the catastrophic Coldcard entropy bug that's letting attackers regenerate users' keys and drain wallets without device access. I walk through concrete, step‑by‑step instructions to move your coins to safety (including using Sparrow, Nunchuck, and even exchanges as a last resort), who's most at risk across MK3, MK4, MK5, and Q devices, and what this means for hardware wallets, AI‑driven security research, and multi‑sig going forward. This is the worst hit to self custody in Bitcoin's history. All we can do is act as quickly as possible. If you have a coldcard in your setup, you need to move to safe keys or cycle your multisig, don't wait, don't assume you have time, sit down and get it done. Do it carefully and don't skip steps. Here are a few of the quickest paths to safety and how to think about this going forward. To everyone who got hit by this, I cannot be more sorry.

There is a massive miscommunication tearing Bitcoiners apart right now. Instead of arguing over specific code like BIP 110, I want to ask a much harder question in this solo take: Is it actually censorship to address spam? I'll explain why prioritizing financial transactions over JPEGs isn't authoritarianism, and why claiming it is destroys our ability to protect the network. We built a protocol for decentralized money, not unlimited file storage. Let's talk about what real censorship actually means.

"Your savings represent hours you worked, risks you accepted, businesses you built, time spent away from people you love, and consumption you postponed for the sake of the future. When the monetary system allows others to dilute those savings without your consent, it weakens your claim on that future. Bitcoin offers a peaceful alternative, giving every individual access to property that cannot be created without limit, altered for political convenience, or administered according to a different set of rules for the powerful." "Two hundred and fifty years ago, Americans declared that they would no longer live as subjects. […] the best way to honor that inheritance is not merely to look backward and celebrate what they accomplished. It is to identify the unfinished work of freedom in our own time and do our part to advance it." ~ Cory Klippsten Today I'm reading Cory Klippsten's latest piece, The Battle for Monetary Independence. Cory uses his grandfather's World War II journal to show that real historical changes aren't won through sudden heroic events, but built on quiet, unglamorous, day-to-day work. Bull markets get the hype while bear markets do the actual heavy lifting. I share my thoughts on what true monetary freedom looks like and the few things that matter far more than waiting for Wall Street's permission.

I walk through the global push for Central Bank Digital Currencies, why voluntary rollouts have mostly flopped, and what governments really gain from programmable, fully surveilled money. I dig into the upcoming digital euro, the U.S. Senate's move against a federal CBDC, and the rise of OpenUSD as an open stablecoin standard. Ultimately I argue that while CBDCs are about control, the infrastructure they create may unintentionally supercharge a global Bitcoin exit ramp. I break down why this surveillance trap might give us our ultimate exit.

***"I'm almost 99% certain that [BIP] 110 will activate. And not only that, I think there will be a capitulation after October, where if the month of October passes and [BIP] 110 is still not merged by Core devs, it essentially reflects that they are no longer relevant because they failed to be good stewards of the protocol." ~ Hunter Beast*** In this episode I sit down with Hunter Beast for a sprawling, high-signal exploration of how to prepare Bitcoin for an unknowable future. We cover formal verification and Lean 4, AI-accelerated proofs, surveillance and BIP39 risks, faith and natural law, and why he thinks governance must shift toward provable safety over new features.

What is the most important project in Bitcoin? It isn't BIP 110 or some shiny new payment protocol. We actually have a massive security vulnerability sitting at the base layer: Bitcoin mining isn't really mining anymore. Right now, we have millions of hashers but barely a handful of real miners deciding what transactions make it into a block. And that means a few centralized pool operators could easily censor the network. In this Take, I explain why the critical distinction between a hasher and a miner matters. But more importantly, I outline how newer protocols are finally fixing a decade-long mistake.

***"I think I got kind of orange-pilled and privacy-pilled in this way when Snowden exposed all this surveillance that was happening by default through every system you've ever touched. That's when I started treating all digital infrastructure as inherently recording devices. They're trying to take information and, even if someone doesn't really want or intend to store the information, it's possible that it gets leaked through a hack. And when it comes to money, that reveals all the relationships someone has. And without privacy, there's no way for that to be free. For Bitcoin to kind of live up in my mind to what it was meant to do, be censorship resistant, you need to have privacy." ~ Dan Gould*** We've all heard that Bitcoin needs privacy to function as real money. But most current solutions force you to jump through ridiculous hoops. Dan Gould has been obsessing over this exact problem for years, and he came on the show to explain why we might finally have a viable fix. Dan and I talked through the history of Bitcoin privacy tools. We looked back at the early days of TumbleBit and Wasabi, and got into why past attempts failed to gain significant adoption. But the core of our conversation was about Payjoin V3. If you care about protecting your stack and keeping your identity safe from on-chain surveillance firms, you need to hear this one. Dan breaks down exactly how the new Payjoin protocol strips out the heavy infrastructure and simply hides your transactions in plain sight. It completely shifted my perspective on how we actually achieve basic on-chain privacy.

The extreme left often claims to follow logic and "the science". But I've noticed a glaring pattern that contradicts this. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

"comma develops open source ADAS software. You can call it self-driving software, but currently what we ship is something where the user is supposed to pay attention all the time." "We want the software to be open source so that people have full control. The hardware is something you have root on. We don't have any access to your device in terms of that's necessary to make it operate normally. There's some telemetry that you can turn off if you want. The device is something you buy, you run open source software on it and there's no cloud involved in making it work as an ADAS product." ***"We're pretty passionate about making sure that if you buy something you own it, if you run software, it should be open source and you should be able to modify it, or at least we shouldn't be able to stop you. That should be a thing that you control." ~ Harald Schäfer*** In this episode I talk with Harald Schäfer, CTO of comma(.)ai, about building sovereign driver-assist tech that runs locally on hardware you actually own. We dig into open-source ADAS, resisting the subscription and cloud-control model, how comma stayed sustainable without obtaining billions from VCs, and the real impact of modern AI on software development and robotics.

"In this X post, I said I don't know the consequences of BIP-110. Plenty of people called that incompetent, cowardly, or both. Others praised it as humility. It's neither. It's just true. I don't know the consequences, and here's my claim. Neither do you." ~ Jimmy Song I am reading Jimmy Song's latest piece and things get a bit heated today.

Over 10.5 million Bitcoin are currently underwater. Everyone is panicking about a grueling bear market, but I see things differently. In today's Take, I explain why this recent drop actually signals deep liquidity and a historically accurate market bottom. The traditional four-year cycle is breaking.

Elon Musk is officially a trillionaire. Naturally, people are calling it yet another failure of capitalism, and I'm calling BS. I compared his wealth to Andrew Carnegie's fortune. On paper, Musk's number looks insane, but when you measure them against the total money supply of their eras, the truth completely flips. I believe we aren't seeing runaway capitalism, but we are simply measuring success with a broken tape measure. I explain why fiat is failing, why you should be mad at central banks instead of builders, and how we finally opt out. Chapters (00:00:00) - Did Elon Break Capitalism?

***"We're entering the Bitcoin golden era with all the new technologies we're discovering because for the first decade Bitcoin was still very, at least for the first five, six years, there was so little capital in the industry that not a lot was getting built. Plus Bitcoin still had all these early on issues. Now we're getting to the moment where Bitcoin is extremely solid. It's a trillion dollar industry, right, or a trillion dollar asset. So I think we're just entering the golden era." ~ Gustavo Flores*** I sat down with Gustavo Flores, the CEO of Aureo, Mexico's Bitcoin platform, and this conversation went far beyond just building software. Gustavo actually left Canada for Mexico because of the intense COVID mandates. He recognized the red flags of government overreach early on and refused to stick around. But what he found in Mexico was a completely different beast. We talked about the harsh realities of building a Bitcoin company in a low-trust society where people are conditioned to expect scams. And yet, Gustavo and his team are building some of the most impressive tools I have seen. They figured out a way to route local fiat directly to a self-custodial Lightning address, without even the need of a middleman to hold your keys. It just works. We also talked about the heavy lifting required to run La Casa de Satoshi, a physical Bitcoin hub in Mexico City. It takes a severe amount of irrational optimism to be a founder in this space, but the effort is paying off. Plus, we got into the weeds on why Lightning development is actually moving faster than people think. If you assume the best era of Bitcoin development is already behind us, you need to hear this conversation.

Brady and Guy Swann open with a live in-person episode from BitBlockBoom and reflect on their combined years in Bitcoin media and podcasting They dig into Anthropic's “Claude Mythos” and broader AI hype, arguing that real capability gains are happening, but marketing and fear-based narratives are amplifying the story Guy makes the case that markets have been misclassifying Bitcoin as a software-like asset, while recent divergence from software stocks may suggest Bitcoin is starting to trade more on its own fundamentals The conversation challenges the old four-year cycle framework, with both hosts arguing that Bitcoin has entered a new era shaped by ETFs, institutional flows, financialization, and reduced miner-driven supply impact MicroStrategy's ongoing Bitcoin accumulation is framed as a major structural support, with its 2026 buying pace far exceeding prior cycle comparisons They discuss Iran reportedly accepting yuan or Bitcoin for Strait-related transit payments, viewing it as another signal that Bitcoin is becoming legitimate neutral money on the global stage Guy explains why Bitcoin adoption may continue gradually through better tools, stronger incentives, and the failures of fiat rails, rather than requiring one single dramatic macro event Quantum computing fears take center stage, but both hosts argue the threat is still highly speculative, often exaggerated, and not a reason for panic today They highlight that Bitcoin developers are actively working on quantum-resistant approaches, which makes the issue more of a long-term engineering challenge than an immediate existential threat The episode closes with commentary on inflation, broken fiat payment systems, Bitcoin's superior settlement properties, and the importance of staying grounded amid both AI and quantum hype cycles ► For high-net-worth individuals and corporations seeking to build generational wealth with Bitcoin, Swan Private is your guide ✔ https://www.swanbitcoin.com/private?utm_campaign=private&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=swan_signal_live ► Secure your bright orange future with the Swan IRA today!

With 401k hardship withdrawals at record highs and mortgage delinquencies surpassing 2008 levels, shouldn't Bitcoin be rocketing higher?

"This is the time for bravery. It's the time for courage. It's the time for more speech. It's the time to self-censor even less because it's too important." A raw, urgent round-table with American HODL, Eric Cason, and Guy Swann on the cultural fracture following the killing of Charlie Kirk—and why speech, not violence, is the only way out. The crew wrestles with grief and anger, the “banality of evil,” media incentives, and why debate on campus matters. Then they pivot to Bitcoin as a non-violent, property-rights-based “third way”: a cultural exit from nihilism and the fiat feedback loop that funds endless political escalation. You'll hear Gerard, Foucault, and Fourth Turning riffs alongside practical calls for courage, organizing, and orange-pilling your local community. Heavy, hopeful, and very human.

El Salvador'un Bitcoin'i yasal para birimi yapma kararıyla tarihe tanıklık ediyoruz. Bu, Bitcoin'in bir ülkede yasal para birimi haline gelmesinin şaşırtıcı bir gerçeği. Bitcoin Standardı adım adım, birey birey ortaya çıkmaya devam edecek gibi görünüyor. Bu yolculukta atılan adımlar benzer olacaktır. Öncelikle Bitcoin edinir ve tutarsınız. Zamanla Bitcoin'in üstün bir tasarruf teknolojisi olduğunu keşfeder ve 'sats' biriktirmeye başlarsınız. Biriktirdiğiniz 'sats' satın alma gücü kazanırken, banka hesabınızdaki itibari para sürekli değer kaybeder. Artık 'sats'larınızı daha çok, itibari paranızı ise daha az değerli bulmaya başlar, Bitcoin ile düşünmeye başlarsınız. Bir noktada, itibari para kazanıp çoğunu Bitcoin'e dönüştürmenin mantıksız olduğunu fark edip işvereninize "Bana Bitcoin ile ödeme yapın" demeniz olasıdır. Bitcoin Standardına geçiş bir süreçtir ve genellikle Bitcoin almak, tutmak, 'sats' biriktirmek, harcamak, kazanmak ve itibari paradan çıkmak adımlarını içerir. Bitcoin yasal para birimi olduğunda, onu kazanmak ve harcamak kolaylaşır. Bitcoin ve itibari paralar doğrudan rekabet halindedir; ya Bitcoin ile tasarruf edersiniz ya da başka bir şeyle. Yolun sonu 'Aşama O'ya, yani Bitcoin'in her yerde hazır ve nazır olduğu, 2,1 katrilyon 'sats'ın mal ve hizmetlerle sorunsuz, sınırsız ve anında takas edildiği bir aşamaya varmaktadır. Bu içeriğin sesli versiyonu Guy Swann tarafından okunmuştur.Kaynak

"For me, the most important war, the thing that we are fighting for in the world today more than anything else for me is the spirit of the West. The spirit of the West has been under attack by globalists, by fucking adversaries, the trader parasite money changer class. That class, whoever the fuck that is, has been looking to destroy the productive spirit and soul of the West in any way that it can. Weaponizing everything from Chinese to fucking Indians to central banks to everything. And if that war can be fought without dropping fucking bombs and fought in a non-kinetic manner through economic means, that is the win of fucking wins in the history of humanity." ~ Aleks Svetski What happens when you put an Austrian-leaning Bitcoiner and a self-described mercantilist in the same room to debate the future of America's economic policy? In this special re-release from the Liberty Lockdown Podcast, hosted by Clint Russell, I join Alex Svetski for a spirited roundtable on tariffs, the US-China dynamic, and the existential questions facing the West. Are tariffs a necessary evil to restore American industry, or just another tax that will hollow out the middle class? Can a nation preserve its culture and sovereignty without sacrificing economic freedom? And is Trump's chaos a sign of strategic genius or just more turbulence for a world already on edge? We dig into the real-world consequences of policy, the role of great men in history, and whether Bitcoin is the answer—or just a hope for the next generation. Special thanks to Clint Russell and Liberty Lockdown for hosting this debate and letting me share it with you here.Link to original episode on Liberty Lockdown: DEBATE: The US vs China/Guy Swann vs Alex Svetski (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmELRv_Y8H8) Bitcoin Audible & Guy Swann Links Guy on Nostr (Link: http://tinyurl.com/2xc96ney) Guy on X (Link: https://x.com/theguyswann) Guy on Instagram (Link: https://www.instagram.com/theguyswann) Guy on TikTok (Link: https://www.tiktok.com/@theguyswann) Guy on YouTube (Link: https://www.youtube.com/@theguyswann) Bitcoin Audible on X (Link: https://x.com/BitcoinAudible) The Guy Swann Network Broadcast Room on Keet (Link: https://tinyurl.com/3na6v839) Check out our awesome sponsors!

"There are so many reasons to be interested in peer-to-peer. You can be interested in it for resilience, because there are no middlemen, so it's going to work if any of your devices are online. You can also just be interested in it from this angle, the idea that if you have full control of your data, and the code that you're using, that you're running on that data, then anybody can fork it, modify it, tweak it, and create a whole... That's where the Cambrian explosion comes in, this whole proliferation of apps that give users very different experiences."~ Andrew OsheroffIn this conversation, I had the privilege of joining Mathias Buus, David Clements, and Andrew Osheroff from Pears.com, Keet, and Holepunch for an engaging fireside chat about the transformative power of peer-to-peer technology. Together, we explored how P2P is reshaping the internet, enabling greater freedom, and redefining how we communicate and collaborate in a decentralized world. This conversation delved into the intersection of technology and liberty, highlighting the potential of P2P to challenge centralized systems and empower individuals. Whether you're passionate about Bitcoin, decentralization, or the future of digital freedom, this was an inspiring and valuable discussion that I'm excited to share again.

"Prosperity happens because you have good money and you have a community that trades. Government is the opposite of that. It is literally cancer. The fiat system is cancer. We have cancer. And you cannot fix cancer. You cannot just get radiation every week. You have to cut it out."In this RANDOM RANT, Walker and Guy Swann discuss FEMA, Hurricane Helene, government corruption, the illusion of ownership in modern society, poverty as the default state of existence and that true prosperity arises from good money and community trade. Guy Swann likens government and the fiat system to cancer, suggesting that they are detrimental to society and must be removed rather than treated.GUY'S LINKS:Nostr: https://primal.net/p/npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpevX: https://twitter.com/theguyswann Website: https://bitcoinaudible.com*****THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners -- use promo code WALKER for...> bitbox.swiss/walker -- 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet.> EFANI: Protect yourself from SIM swap attacks – go to https://www.efani.com/walker and it'll automatically apply the promo code WALKER getting you $99 OFF.> Cloaked Wireless: 25% OFF eSIM or physical SIM cards and protect yourself from SIM swap attacks.*****If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on Fountain | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Spotify | HIGHLIGHTER | EVERYWHERE ELSEFollow me (Walker) on Twitter Personal (@WalkerAmerica) | Twitter Podcast (@TitcoinPodcast) | Nostr Personal (walker) | Nostr Podcast (Titcoin)

"Dark merchants would never use Lightning, right? Because well, you need a node ID, an entity... Versus Ark, you're not a node or entity. All you are is entropy. You're just a public key with silent payment style tweaking. That means no address reuse. By default, coins gets mixed in each round. In a scalable and convenient way. And so it's all private. You can't tell who pays what and when and what amount really. It is great and appealing for privacy people, and I can see Ark dominating Dark web." - Burak In this episode, Guy Swann hosts Burak for an in-depth conversation on the future of Bitcoin, smart contracts, and the innovative potential of Ark. What if Bitcoin could scale beyond its limits without compromising privacy or decentralization? Burak introduces BroLab, a groundbreaking framework that merges Bitcoin and smart contracts, but also explores Ark—a new P2P transaction model offering enhanced privacy and scalability for both business and personal use. How could Ark outperform lightning in peer-to-peer systems and revolutionize Bitcoin’s future? And what role will stablecoins, Web5, and reputation-based contracts play in transforming global finance and social systems? Dive into this thought-provoking episode as Burak and Guy break down the building blocks of the next generation of decentralized technology.

"The most powerful thing that Bitcoin did was establish a monetary foundation, a monetary policy that was not alterablethrough a shallow, short term social consensus. That the protocol determines the rules, and then everyone is only able to fight within those rules, and any changes that are made can only occur within those rules, and anybody who tries to break those rules are necessarily forking off. And if they do not get overwhelming support to do that, the change simply doesn't succeed." -Guy Swann Today, I'm excited to bring you a special episode featuring a marathon conversation I had on the Anarchast podcast,hosted by Patrick Smith. As a "big blocker" and supporter of Bitcoin Cash, Patrick and I delve into the heart of the Bitcoin Civil War, exploring the contentious debates between small and big block proponents.In this in-depth discussion, we cover the contrasting perspectives of small and big block advocates, discussing "revelations" from Roger Ver's new book. We also discuss the critical implications of block size on Bitcoin's future, decentralization, and security.This debate is one of my favorites, offering a comprehensive view of the trade-offs and arguments that shaped Bitcoin's history. Whether you're new to the debate or a seasoned Bitcoin enthusiast, this episode is packed with valuable insights.Tune in and join us as we navigate the complexities of the Blocksize War.

"Bitcoin enables perhaps the most powerful mode of _ownership_ ever devised; it would be akin to gold inside a safe that can't be penetrated with all the energy the universe, and with a password that you know but which could not be guessed over the entire lifetime of the universe." ~ Allen Farrington What if buying an ETF of Bitcoin, is contradictory to the very investment thesis of Bitcoin itself. Knowing the investment thesis for bitcoin, should entail the understanding that bitcoin's value proposition is undermined by the very notion of holding a credit instrument in its place. Farrington breaks down a few of the reasons why in this excellent, short letter to those considering a purchase of the newly approved bitcoin ETFs. Check out the original article at An Open Letter to Prospective Buyers of a Bitcoin ETF.
