Dan from Pirate Chain joins the show to break down what makes Pirate Chain the most private cryptocurrency by any objective measure, what is coming with the new Unified Light Wallet, and why the project avoided the Zcash Orchard vulnerability entirely. Firo project steward Ruben Yap also weighs in with a detailed and honest breakdown of what actually happened with the Zcash exploit and what it means for the future of privacy protocol design. Sal and Mark also get into Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, why the left fundamentally misunderstands wealth, and the economics of hoarding money in a way that will make your head spin. Then the show pivots to a genuinely alarming development: the UK's sweeping social media ban requiring facial recognition, banking data, or ID to access platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Sal and Mark break down why this has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with building a digital ID infrastructure for mass surveillance, and what tools you can use right now to fight back.

Jay Noone has built something most people only talk about: a real community of like minded families on a working farm in New Hampshire, where kids learn blacksmithing, animal butchering, diesel mechanics, and how to carry themselves as competent, self reliant people. Mark Edge caught up with Jay to talk about what it actually looks like to live free, from the nuts and bolts of homesteading to the deeper philosophy behind raising the next generation of useful, valuable, and competent people. They get into why New Hampshire's oversized legislature makes it nearly impossible to buy politicians, why useful, valuable, and competent people don't need government, and what vehicles you want when the grid goes down. Jay also breaks down Mancamp, his homeschool co-op which is also happening the week of PorcFest, where families come together to learn real world skills on the farm.

Could a Nonprofit Prison Actually Fix Corrections in America? Brian Koehn spent 28 years as a warden in private corrections, running five facilities and overseeing security at 65 more. Now he's building Social Purpose Corrections, a nonprofit prison model that doesn't exist anywhere else in the US, designed to fix the incentives that keep the system broken. Mark Edge talks with Brian about why correctional officer turnover is the root cause behind almost every failure in American prisons, why "hard on crime" wins elections but makes outcomes worse, and why the real recidivism numbers are nowhere close to what most states report. They also get into the case for "smart on crime" over "hard on crime," and why Brian, having actually run the system, sees a distinction that matters more than most politicians want to admit.

Mark Edge reconnects with Carter Feldman, Founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, a new proof-of-work blockchain that promises to solve the impossible triangle of scalability, decentralization, and privacy all at once. Carter breaks down how Psy uses recursive zero-knowledge proofs to process transactions privately at internet scale, hitting 500,000 transactions per second on testnet before even launching publicly. They also explore how Psy allows users to prove compliance without revealing their identity, giving people privacy without compromise. Still in private beta, but a public launch is coming soon.

Mark Edge catches up with Dennis Pratt, co-owner of the Independence Inn in Stratford, New Hampshire, to make the case for why libertarians should stop talking and start moving. Dennis breaks down what the Free State Project has built in New Hampshire — 300 liberty groups, eight Liberty Clubhouses, and a thriving community of porcupines — and how the Independence Inn serves as a way station for visitors and new movers alike, with discounted stays to help people explore the libertarian homeland before committing to a move.

Mark Edge charts new waters with Joe Quirk, Seavangelist and President of The Seasteading Institute and author of Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore the Environment, Enrich the Poor, Cure the Sick, and Liberate Humanity from Politicians, for a wide ranging conversation about why libertarians have won all the arguments but still can't change anything — and why seasteading might be the technology that actually puts the state out of business. They cover Joe's unlikely conversion from left-wing radical to voluntaryist, the current state of seastead technology from ArkPad to Ocean Builders to LiberArx, jurisdictional freedoms at sea, the wild story of Chad and Nadia being hunted by the Thai Navy, and why freeing your mind might be the most important first step to freedom.

Sal and Mark are back for episode six, fresh off a month of travels — Bitcoin Vegas, Consensus Miami, and BCH Bliss in Slovenia. Before diving in, Sal recounts his wild Homeland Security detainment at Tampa Airport — arrested for weed on the jetway. The guys break down the chaos at the Libertarian National Convention in Grand Rapids — rubber chickens, stolen pamphlets, a gnarly slap, and the disaffiliation of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire — and contrast it with what the Agorists are actually building. Then, Sal's full speech from BCH Bliss on how to truly privatize your Bitcoin Cash using Cash Fusion, BCHX, Edge Wallet, and Nym. Followed by a deep dive interview with Alan from Quai Network — a scalable proof of work blockchain with smart contracts, a dual token system, merge mining, and a flat coin tied to the price of energy.

30 million Americans are eligible to have their criminal records cleared — but less than 10% ever do. Why? Mark Edge sits down with Dr. Sheena Meade, CEO of the Clean Slate Initiative, at the Libertarian National Convention to talk about one of the most overlooked injustices in America: the invisible cage of a permanent record. With 1 in 3 Americans carrying an arrest or conviction, and over $460 billion in lost wages tied to background check barriers, the stakes couldn't be higher. The Clean Slate Initiative is automating the record-clearance process — no lawyers, no fees, no bureaucratic red tape — for people who are already eligible under existing law and have remained crime-free. They've already opened a pathway for over 18 million people across 13 states and D.C., and are pushing for a federal solution with bipartisan support.

David Bailey reveals that 30-40 countries are secretly mining Bitcoin and 10+ nations are quietly building strategic Bitcoin reserves. The CEO of Nakamoto and Bitcoin Magazine joins Brandon to break down the Nakamoto-BTC Inc merger, why Bitcoin treasury companies are struggling, how the convertible note strategy backfired, what the Trump administration has actually delivered for Bitcoin, and why the nation-state Bitcoin race is bigger than anyone realizes. David shares hard-won lessons from his first year as a public company CEO, explains why you can't out-Saylor Saylor, and reveals the asymmetric advantage of accumulating Bitcoin in a bear market. He also discusses why no government wants to announce their Bitcoin holdings — and why that's about to change.

Bitcoin is down 50% from its all-time high. Sentiment is the worst it's been in years. And yet, this might be the most important conversation I've had about where Bitcoin is actually going. Peter Dunworth is a Bitcoin advisor who has been in this space since 2016. He's survived every crash, every bear market, and every time people said Bitcoin was dead. Today he laid out the case for why Bitcoin could see a 10,000x return from current levels — and why the real crisis nobody is talking about makes that not just possible, but necessary. We broke down the collateral crisis hiding underneath the debt problem, what happens when two nation states with money printers start competing for Bitcoin, why the gold and silver blow-off top actually confirms the parabolic thesis, and why this bear market might be the last real buying opportunity before everything changes.
Silver just crashed 41% in a single day while Bitcoin barely flinched — so what does that tell us about where the smart money is really going? In this episode, British Hodl breaks down why $340,000 Bitcoin this cycle is actually conservative, how $10 trillion in bank liquidity is about to flood the markets, why 94% of BlackRock's iBit holders didn't sell through the crash, and what the gold and silver collapse signals about the end of this business cycle. We also dive into why Michael Saylor and BlackRock are now doing the marketing for all of us, how the new Fed chair was basically hired to print, why retail keeps selling Bitcoin at the price they deserve, and what the Trump administration defending Bitcoin really means.
Gold and silver are hitting all-time highs while Bitcoin is down over 22% — so what are precious metals screaming at the Bitcoin market? In this episode, Joe Burnett, VP of Bitcoin Strategy at Strive, breaks down why $10 million Bitcoin by 2035 is actually conservative, how technology deflation is quietly destroying the value of stocks, real estate, and even gold, and why Bitcoin is the only asset that can't be diluted. We also dive into the Bitcoin treasury company movement, why SaaS companies are already dead thanks to vibe coding, how banks are about to collide with Bitcoin, and what Saylor's digital credit thesis means for the $300 trillion bond market.
Pascal Wagner interviews Shawn Owen, CEO of Salt Lending, to unpack how crypto holders can responsibly leverage Bitcoin for liquidity without taking on unnecessary risk. Shawn shares his journey from traditional real estate investing through the 2008 financial crisis and into early Bitcoin adoption, explaining why lending against crypto mirrors familiar tools like HELOCs more than speculative margin trading. The conversation explores how Bitcoin-backed loans work, what happens during sharp drawdowns, and how Salt structures products to protect both borrowers and lenders. They also discuss why institutional adoption, regulation, and long-term credit infrastructure are critical to Bitcoin's role as a serious financial asset.

JP Morgan crashed the silver markets! London and Davos is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Gold just ripped past $5,000. Silver spiked to $120+ before a violent pullback. Tom Luongo breaks down what's really happening — how the bullion banks and LBMA engineered the squeeze, why the City of London is at war with the Trump administration, and what it all means for the global financial system. We get into COMEX delivery mechanics most people don't understand, why China is more vulnerable than anyone thought, the real story behind the Venezuela play, and where Bitcoin fits in the new financial order.

In this explosive breakdown, we dive deep into the shocking moves coming out about Jamie Dimon, Michael Saylor, and BlackRock — and what it means for every Bitcoin holder RIGHT NOW. If you care about BTC's future, institutional strategies, and the hidden signals Wall Street doesn't want you to see… this video is a MUST WATCH.
JP Morgan has quietly flipped its stance on Bitcoin, a move that historically appears near major market turning points. Public skepticism paired with private positioning often signals the final shakeout before a much larger move. At the same time, gold has just doubled for the first time since 1979. In past cycles, gold leads and Bitcoin follows with far greater upside. If that pattern holds, a 10x Bitcoin move into 2026 is not unrealistic.
