Bisher Khudeira is the COO of Stormrake, a Melbourne-based digital asset brokerage offering best execution trading, institutional custody, and asset management across Bitcoin, digital assets, and tokenized real-world assets. Bisher joins Andy to explain why the brokerage model beats the exchange model for serious investors, what it takes to build a crypto business in one of the most hostile banking environments in the developed world, and why Stormrake is about to plant its flag in Dallas. Why you should listen Bisher has spent a decade in financial services, starting in foreign exchange brokering in 2015 and buying his first Bitcoin in a McDonald's car park in 2016 via peer-to-peer. He joined Stormrake in 2022, bought into the business, and has helped scale it from fewer than a hundred clients — mostly friends and family — to over 10,000 across Australia, with a US launch now weeks away. He walks through the core brokerage proposition: Stormrake faces around 20 exchanges and OTC desks simultaneously, aggregates client orders to access deeper liquidity and sharper pricing, and charges a flat commission with no spread markup. The result is what Bisher calls the Satoshi maximiser — clients walk away with more Bitcoin per transaction than they would going it alone on a single exchange. The conversation covers Stormrake's two wholesale funds: the Cumulus class, which targets picks-and-shovels digital assets like Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, and Chainlink alongside select private equity plays; and the Stratus class, a Bitcoin and gold fund designed to smooth out Bitcoin's volatility while improving on gold's growth profile. Bisher also details the custody offering — fully institutional grade with insurance, separation of funds, and cold storage as default — while stressing that Stormrake fully supports self-custody for clients who want it. The US expansion into Dallas, two years in the making and launching end of April 2026, is built as a direct lift-and-shift of the Australian model into a jurisdiction where digital asset brokers are treated as normal participants in the economy rather than pariahs. Bisher doesn't hold back on the state of Australian banking, describing three personal debankings and ongoing hostility from the big four toward crypto businesses and their clients. He argues Australia is a decade behind the US on digital asset regulation, with an AFSL licensing regime for digital assets only coming into effect by mid-2026. Despite that, he frames the challenge as deeply rewarding — building a business from zero in a nascent industry with no playbook, bootstrapped the entire way, with the goal of becoming a digital-era complement to the likes of Charles Schwab or E-Trade. The episode closes with Bisher's market outlook: he sees Bitcoin within 10 to 20 percent of its bottom, expects three to four months of sideways chop, and is watching large institutional buyers accumulate aggressively at current levels ahead of what he believes will be a run toward $200,000 and beyond.

Matt Corallo says “the community that exists at the time” will make decisions on how Bitcoin deals with the threat of quantum computing. Thank you to our sponsors! ⁠Figure⁠ ⁠Crypto Tax Girl⁠ ⁠Fuse: The Energy Network⁠ When it comes to the quantum computing threat to crypto, the focus is often on Bitcoin and for good reason. The blockchain lacks a defined governance structure and the vulnerability around Satoshi's and other abandoned and lost coins is far greater than on any other chain. Furthermore, influential figures like Nic Carter have accused developers of sleeping at the wheel. Bitcoin Core contributor Matt Corallo argues that it won't take much to make the network quantum-resistant and, contrary to popular narrative, says work is already underway.

In Episode 146 of Rugpull Radio, GMoney sits down with Justin Shocknet for a deep dive into Bitcoin's original purpose and the evolution of Layer 2 solutions. The conversation centers on Satoshi Nakamoto's vision of peer-to-peer electronic cash and how Lightning Network and other L2 technologies aim to fulfill that mission through scalability, speed, and microtransactions. Justin outlines the technical foundations of Layer 2 protocols, discussing how they operate alongside the base layer to reduce congestion and lower fees while maintaining decentralization. The discussion explores the philosophical divide within the Bitcoin community between store-of-value advocates and those focused on transactional utility. The episode also introduces Justin's “COunterINsurgency” framework, drawing parallels between decentralized networks and asymmetric strategies used in political and military contexts. Together, GMoney and Justin examine how Bitcoin adoption intersects with sovereignty, censorship resistance, and the shifting balance of power in a digitally networked world. A technical and strategic conversation on scaling Bitcoin while preserving its core principles.

19th Feb

Parce qu'Internet adore les histoires où un mystère en épouse un autre, et qu'il n'y a rien de plus séduisant qu'un grand absent pour expliquer ce qu'on ne comprend pas. Voilà la version courte. La version longue, la voici.La rumeur selon laquelle Jeffrey Epstein serait à l'origine du bitcoin repose sur un empilement de coïncidences, de fantasmes et de méfiance envers les élites financières. Bitcoin naît en 2008 sous le pseudonyme de Satoshi Nakamoto, une identité jamais révélée. Cette absence crée un vide narratif. Et les humains détestent le vide, ils y mettent donc ce qu'ils craignent le plus.Premier carburant de la rumeur : Epstein fréquentait des mathématiciens, des informaticiens, des cryptographes. C'est documenté. Il finançait des chercheurs, organisait des dîners où se croisaient scientifiques de haut niveau et milliardaires. Or, bitcoin repose sur de la cryptographie avancée. Certains se disent donc que « quelqu'un comme lui » aurait pu financer ou coordonner un tel projet. Raisonnement bancal, mais séduisant : il connaissait des gens intelligents, donc il était forcément derrière le truc.Deuxième ingrédient : le timing. Bitcoin apparaît juste après la crise financière de 2008, au moment où la confiance dans les banques s'effondre. Epstein, symbole ultime de la collusion entre argent, pouvoir et impunité, incarne rétrospectivement ce monde opaque que bitcoin prétend contourner. Pour certains esprits, il devient alors logique, presque ironique, que l'outil censé libérer des banques ait été créé par quelqu'un issu du cœur du système. C'est une narration paradoxale, mais les paradoxes plaisent.Troisième élément : l'obsession contemporaine du complot. Epstein est devenu une figure totémique du « tout est lié ». Dès qu'un sujet implique secret, argent, technologie et anonymat, son nom surgit mécaniquement. Bitcoin coche toutes les cases. Ajoutez à cela le fait que Satoshi Nakamoto n'a jamais touché ses bitcoins, ce qui nourrit l'idée d'un homme extrêmement riche n'ayant pas besoin d'argent. Là encore, Epstein sert de silhouette commode.Quatrième facteur, plus technique : certains ont tenté de relier des textes, des tournures de phrases, voire des centres d'intérêt supposés entre Satoshi et des cercles intellectuels fréquentés par Epstein. Ces analyses relèvent davantage de la graphologie numérique que de la preuve scientifique. Rien de sérieux n'en est sorti.Au final, aucune preuve, aucun document, aucun témoignage crédible ne relie Epstein à la création du bitcoin. La rumeur persiste parce qu'elle rassure presque : si un objet aussi déstabilisant que bitcoin a une origine sombre et humaine, alors le chaos est plus facile à accepter. C'est moins angoissant qu'admettre qu'un inconnu brillant ait pu, seul, fissurer l'ordre monétaire mondial. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Two years ago, quantum computing was a “someday problem.” Now NVIDIA is lobbying Congress. Ethereum is funding post-quantum research. Coinbase has launched a Quantum Advisory Board. So the question isn’t theoretical anymore. What happens to Bitcoin when quantum computers become powerful enough to crack today’s cryptography? In Episode 803, we sit down with Christopher Steven Smith, CEO and co-founder of Quantus, a quantum-secure Layer 1 blockchain built using NIST-backed post-quantum cryptography. We cover: • What quantum computing actually is (without melting your brain)• How qubits differ from classical bits• Why elliptic curve cryptography may be vulnerable• Whether Bitcoin can realistically fork to quantum resistance• The risk to old wallets (including Satoshi’s coins)• Post-quantum signatures like Dilithium• Reversible transactions and whether they break crypto ethos• Whether the “digital gold” narrative was a strategic mistake Is quantum an overhyped sci-fi scare tactic? Or is it the next existential threat nobody is pricing in? This is a sponsored episode. As always, we disclose that upfront. We took the interview because the topic is real, timely, and worth exploring. Welcome to the future of cryptography. Or the end of it.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Between 2014 and 2019, Riccardo Spagni (aka Fluffy Pony) led the development and engineering efforts of the Monero privacy. But he's also been a prominent bitcoiner since 2011, who did mining and supported e-commerce.

Join Tommy Shaughnessy as he speaks with Nic Carter, partner at Castle Island Ventures, about his deep dive into the existential threat quantum computing poses to Bitcoin. After six months of intensive research and discussions with Nobel Prize-winning physicists, Nic breaks down why the "quantum threat" has moved from theoretical FUD to a material risk that the Bitcoin community is currently unprepared to face.They explore the "Q-Day" timeline, the vulnerability of Satoshi's 2 million BTC, and the urgent need for a migration to post-quantum cryptography. Can Bitcoin's rigid governance survive the most significant technical challenge in its history, or will sovereign nations and private firms reach the coins first?

Charlie and Colin dive into the quantum computing debate. Is it a threat to Bitcoin or just VC hype? We explore vulnerable addresses, Nick Carter's thesis, the 2028 timeline, and the controversial plan to "burn" Satoshi's coins to save the network from a $100B hack. Charlie and Colin join us to talk about the existential risk of quantum computing. We break down Nick Carter's latest research, the timeline for a potential quantum break, and the 2 million Bitcoin currently at risk. We debate the ethics of "burning" Satoshi's coins to save the network, the technical challenges of forking to quantum-resistant signatures, and why the next big Bitcoin civil war might be fought over physics.
