Podcast appearances and mentions of Roger Ver

In this enlightening episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, Jason flies solo (with Matt on vacation) for a deep-dive conversation with longtime liberty activist and Free Talk Live co-host, Mark Edge. Note: Jason's mic wasn't working correctly for the first 17 minutes — but the insights are worth sticking around for. Mark's radio co-host and Free Talk Live co-founder, Ian Freeman, is currently serving time in federal prison for the "crime" of facilitating Bitcoin transactions — a glaring example of the federal government's ongoing war on crypto. We unpack Ian's unjust prosecution, his prank encounter with Joe Biden that may have put him in the feds' crosshairs, and the heartbreaking reality that Free Talk Live is now on life support. Jason and Mark also reflect on their time at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the energy and evolution of the crypto movement, and briefly touch on Roger Ver's new book Hijacking Bitcoin. We discuss the importance of decentralization, the co-optation risks crypto faces, and Ross Ulbricht's powerful first public speech since being imprisoned in 2013. The conversation turns toward the two-party illusion, the failures of political reform through party expansion, and whether a potential second Trump term could change the trajectory of the crypto crackdown. We wrap with a white pill: Mark's optimism, what keeps him going after nearly two decades in the fight for liberty, and how we can support Ian and others like him. This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about digital freedom, liberty activism, and the future of financial sovereignty.

In this special episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Aaron Day and Quinten van Welzen for a powerful and hopeful discussion about Zano, digital freedom, and the future of decentralized resistance. This episode avoids the heavy tech jargon and instead explores the human philosophy and mission behind Zano — a cryptocurrency project that's much more than just a coin. Quinten breaks down how Zano enables private transactions, confidential assets, community marketplaces, and even user-generated coins, making it a full privacy-respecting ecosystem built to empower individuals around the world. We also dive into Zano's deflationary economic model, contrasting it with the unchecked inflation and debt-fueled spending of centralized governments — particularly relevant as the U.S. ramps up military budgets and inches closer to CBDC-style control through stablecoins. Aaron shares insight on the broader battle for financial freedom and privacy, including his advocacy for Roger Ver, who is facing politically motivated prosecution. We end the show with an important update on Roger's case — and why a recent Department of Justice memo could mean it should be dropped altogether. If you're looking for real tools to opt out of the digital control grid — and some much-needed inspiration — this is an episode you don't want to miss.

In this unforgettable episode of Beyond the Code, Yitzy Hammer sits down with Bitcoin OG and serial entrepreneur Charlie Shrem for a raw, unfiltered journey through the birth of Bitcoin, the collapse of early crypto infrastructure, and the deeply personal trials that shaped one of the industry's most iconic—and controversial—figures.Charlie opens up about how a small Israeli charity called Tikvot led him to Bitcoin, the early anarchic energy of the online forums where Satoshi once roamed, and how he helped pioneer one of the world's first Bitcoin exchanges, BitInstant, with nothing but bar mitzvah money and a handshake agreement.They talk Mt. Gox, the founding of the Bitcoin Foundation, and how a single Skype message from Roger Ver changed the course of Charlie's life. But this episode doesn't shy away from the dark turns: Charlie reflects on the moment federal agents arrested him at JFK, his experience in solitary confinement, the fallout with his family and community, and the harrowing prison conditions that tested his spirit.We also explore the redemption arc: house arrest in Pennsylvania, quiet reintegration into the crypto world, life on a boat, podcasting, venture investing—and a spiritual journey that defies binaries.Topics Covered:How PayPal freezing donations led to discovering Bitcoin;The mechanics of BitInstant and why it succeeded;Mt. Gox, Silk Road, and the cracks in early crypto;Charlie's arrest, conviction, and incarceration experience;Leaving Orthodoxy, family estrangement, and Jewish identity;Starting over, rebuilding wealth, and finding purpose;This is more than a conversation about Bitcoin—it's a story about resilience, belief, exile, and finding your people on the internet.

This Day in Legal History: Salmon P. Chase DiesOn May 7, 1873, Salmon P. Chase—former Chief Justice of the United States and one of the most prominent legal minds of his generation—died at the age of 65. Chase was a towering figure in antebellum legal and political life, best known for his ardent antislavery positions and constitutional rigor. A fierce abolitionist, he earned the nickname “Attorney General for Runaway Slaves” for his pro bono work defending fugitives in Ohio. Decades before the Civil War, Chase and Abraham Lincoln had crossed paths not as allies, but as legal adversaries. In an 1855 Illinois case—Effie Afton v. Rock Island Bridge Company—Chase represented steamboat interests, while Lincoln defended the nascent railroad industry; the trial featured two future titans on opposite sides of a commercial dispute that mirrored the country's growing sectional divisions.Despite their early courtroom rivalry and later competing candidacies for the 1860 Republican presidential nomination, Lincoln recognized Chase's legal acumen and political influence. He appointed him Secretary of the Treasury, where Chase proved instrumental in financing the Union war effort and creating a national banking system. Ever ambitious, Chase maneuvered politically from within Lincoln's cabinet, seeking the presidency even as he served. In 1864, Lincoln elevated Chase to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, where he presided over pivotal Reconstruction-era cases and the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson.As Chief Justice, Chase dissented in Bradwell v. Illinois and the Slaughter-House Cases, signaling a broader vision for the Fourteenth Amendment than the Court ultimately embraced. His dissents advocated for civil rights and economic fairness at a time when the Court was beginning to retreat from radical Reconstruction. Chase died on May 7, 1873, after collapsing in New York, ending a career that spanned law, finance, politics, and constitutional interpretation.A federal judge struck down an executive order by President Donald Trump targeting the law firm Perkins Coie, ruling it violated the First Amendment and due process protections. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell found the order to be retaliatory, noting it was motivated by the firm's past legal work and its association with political opponents, including Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign. The ruling relied heavily on Trump's own public comments—more than 20 of which were cited in the lawsuit—including social media posts and statements made during official events. These remarks, spanning from 2017 through his current term, were used to show the administration's intent to punish the firm for its perceived political stance.Trump's directive revoked security clearances for the firm's lawyers, blocked federal contracts, and limited their access to government officials. Howell emphasized that the problem wasn't Trump's personal criticisms but the official actions taken against the firm based on those views. The case illustrates how Trump's characteristic unfiltered commentary undermined legal defenses by revealing the political motivations behind executive actions. Howell also cited similar coercive behavior toward other major law firms, some of which made significant concessions to avoid being targeted. Legal experts noted that this ruling could influence outcomes in related cases involving other firms.How Trump's own words helped him lose a fight with law firm Perkins Coie | ReutersSamsung Electronics announced that its subsidiary, Harman International, will acquire the audio business of U.S.-based Masimo for $350 million. The move is aimed at bolstering Samsung's position in the global consumer audio market, which is projected to grow from $60.8 billion in 2025 to $70 billion by 2029. The company emphasized that integrating Masimo's audio operations with Harman will enhance its sound technology offerings and create synergies across its mobile, TV, and home appliance divisions. The deal aligns with Samsung's broader strategy to pursue significant mergers and acquisitions to address investor concerns and drive growth. Samsung reaffirmed its commitment to delivering concrete M&A outcomes during its annual shareholder meeting in March.Samsung Electronics says unit Harman acquires Masimo's audio business for $350 mln | ReutersA growing number of wealthy defendants are pursuing pardons from President Donald Trump, some spending over $1 million on legal teams, lobbyists, and consultants to improve their chances. The pardon process under Trump's second term has become informal and politically charged, with access and loyalty appearing to play major roles in who receives clemency. Business figures such as Trevor Milton, founder of Nikola Corp., have successfully received pardons after building political connections, contributing to Trump's campaign, and framing their prosecutions as examples of a weaponized justice system.Traditional channels for clemency through the Justice Department have largely been bypassed, replaced by direct appeals to the White House and advocacy from influential allies. Lawyers well-connected to Trump's circle are reportedly charging premium fees to prepare pardon bids. High-profile figures including crypto executives Sam Bankman-Fried and Roger Ver, as well as media entrepreneur Carlos Watson, have sought or secured relief through this unofficial route. Trump's administration claims it is correcting injustices, but critics argue the system now favors those with money and political ties.Lawyers Are Quoting $1 Million in Fees to Get Pardons to TrumpA federal judge in Rhode Island has blocked the Trump administration from proceeding with layoffs at three small federal agencies, issuing a preliminary injunction against a March 14 executive order that aimed to eliminate or drastically reduce the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). Chief Judge John McConnell ruled that the order was likely unlawful, calling it “arbitrary and capricious” and in conflict with the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act by bypassing Congress's authority to make laws and allocate funding.The coalition of states challenging the order argued the closures would cause immediate harm, and McConnell agreed, noting that MBDA had essentially been reduced to zero staff, making it impossible to administer its programs. The ruling rejected the administration's claim that the harms were merely speculative and emphasized that irreparable harm had already occurred. The judge also denied a request by the Trump administration to delay enforcement of the injunction. The legal fight is ongoing, but the decision represents a significant obstacle to Trump's broader efforts to restructure the federal government by executive order.Trump Must Halt Layoffs at Three Small Agencies, Judge Says (1) This is a public episode.

In a past episode, I joined Steve Patterson and the host for what was supposed to be a discussion but quickly turned into one of the most heated debates I've had on the show. Along with Steve, who co-authored Hijacking Bitcoin with Roger Ver, we dove into a fiery debate about Michael Saylor—his influence, his ideas, and whether Bitcoin has been hijacked. While we all agreed it wouldn't be a debate, the conversation sparked intense back-and-forths about Bitcoin's direction and the potential dangers it faces. It's a passionate exchange that touches on crucial issues within the Bitcoin space, and it's a conversation that's well worth sharing.Link to original episode: Michael Saylor: Genius or Madman?

Healthcare politicized, militarized and weaponized.One must always realize that a centralized, institutional (and lucrative) apparatus big enough to provide “health” to every person, could very easily be inclined towards incentivized death especially in times of financial crisis, political upheaval and perceived global catastrophes.Dr. Drew Pinsky is one of the most prolific voices in American health who has witnessed and reported on the transformation of our health institutions via his independently produced show ‘Ask Dr. Drew'. More importantly - we witnessed Dr. Drew transform his position on vaccines during COVID which was a spectacular example of honesty, humility and curiosity.Today we also talk with Dr. Drew about health in America, what it means, where it is going and how to survive in an increasingly hostile system which seems to be more about power and profit than health and wellness.

The stunning political persecution of Roger Ver (aka Bitcoin Jesus) persists.The question is WHY? Bitcoin started as a super nerdy, crypto-currency subculture with a shadowy origin story and cult-like following who fervently believed that Bitcoin would save the world. It was interesting and perhaps lucrative for gamers and computer buffs but not necessarily relevant to regular people.Fast forward to 2024 and Bitcoin has emerged as a MAJOR player in global markets and geo-politics. It seems like the power elites are ALL in on BITCOIN as a vehicle to devour wealth, consolidate power, end the sovereign debt crisis and wage currency wars.

In this final episode of the year for The Free Thought Project Podcast, hosts Jason and Matt sit down once again with Aaron Day, a fearless advocate for freedom, sound money, and individual sovereignty. Aaron is an entrepreneur, author, and political activist with over 25 years of experience in fighting government overreach. As the author of The Final Countdown: Crypto, Gold, and the Anarcho-Capitalist Revolution, Aaron has spent his career championing decentralized systems, parallel networks, and privacy-focused solutions to counter the parasitic control of the state. With his deep understanding of economics, cryptocurrency, and agorism, Aaron is a leading voice in the fight against financial tyranny. This week, Aaron joins us to discuss the shocking case of Roger Ver, the “Bitcoin Jesus,” who is currently fighting extradition to the U.S. under politically motivated charges. We dissect how Bitcoin was hijacked from its original purpose as a tool for financial freedom and explore the implications of the state's weaponization of the monetary system against its perceived enemies. Aaron shares insights into privacy coins, such as Monero and Zano, as tools for resisting tyranny and highlights how decentralized systems can render the old systems of control obsolete. We also delve into the bigger picture of financial tyranny, discussing how policies around CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and government overreach continue to erode individual freedom. Aaron offers practical solutions for how we can fight back—both individually and collectively—through parallel networks, agorism, and everyday resistance. Also, Aaron reminds us to visit freerogernow.org and sign the petition! As always, we wrap up on a positive note, reminding listeners that hope lies in action and that tools like privacy coins and decentralized systems can pave the way for a freer future. This episode is a powerful reminder that we are the answer to this tyranny—and the time to act is now.

Healthcare politicized, militarized and weaponized.One must always realize that a centralized, institutional (and lucrative) apparatus big enough to provide “health” to every person, could very easily be inclined towards incentivized death especially in times of financial crisis, political upheaval and perceived global catastrophes.Dr. Drew Pinsky is one of the most prolific voices in American health who has witnessed and reported on the transformation of our health institutions via his independently produced show ‘Ask Dr. Drew'. More importantly - we witnessed Dr. Drew transform his position on vaccines during COVID which was a spectacular example of honesty, humility and curiosity.Today we also talk with Dr. Drew about health in America, what it means, where it is going and how to survive in an increasingly hostile system which seems to be more about power and profit than health and wellness.

Roger Ver is "Bitcoin Jesus"; he's been investing in the world's first cryptocurrency since its cost was measured in pennies. Today, he's a billionaire being targeted by the Biden Administration, which wants him imprisoned for the rest of his life. Roger has been silenced by lawfare, so he joins Charlie with his lawyer to speak on his behalf. Plus, Ryan Girdusky talks about the birthright citizenship sham, and the odds that Trump's Cabinet picks will get through the Congress.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roger Ver, an early Bitcoin promoter and investor, has been arrested in Spain and is set to be extradited by a U.S. regime whose procedure with him and whose arguments against him make obvious that he is being targeted for who he is rather than for what he is alleged to have done. It is urgent that we publicize his case. Steve Patterson and Robert Barnes join us. Sponsors: : Code: WOODS &  Help Roger: Book Mentioned: Robert Barnes' Website:

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.   Report on Food For the Poor by Charity Navigator https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/592174510   -------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer from ACU.
