Crypto policy in Washington has gone from punchline to power center. David sits down with Ron Hammond, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Wintermute, for a rare inside look at how crypto actually moves through DC: the SBF era, Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto army, Gary Gensler's SEC, bank lobby pressure, Trump's crypto conflicts, the Clarity Act fight, and why privacy and self-custody may be the next major battleground. ---

In this episode, Stephan sits down with Arbedout to explore one of the most debated technical topics in Bitcoin today: covenants, vaults, and the future of Bitcoin custody infrastructure.They discuss why many people may be misunderstanding where the real demand for covenants comes from, and how covenant-related features could improve Bitcoin self-custody through vaults, spending limits, recovery mechanisms, and more secure long-term storage setups.The conversation also explores Bitcoin adoption, conviction, long-term store of value dynamics, and the psychological challenges of holding Bitcoin through volatility.Timestamp:(00:00) – The privacy problem with co-signing today(03:25) – What does Sigbash allow us to do?(08:15) – What is Oblivious Signing?

In this episode of Token Narratives, Graham Stone, Alex Richardson, and David Sencil break down a market that still looks shaky on the surface but may be getting closer to a major turning point. They debate whether Bitcoin has more downside ahead, why some cycle indicators still point to a later bottom, and why others are turning more bullish despite ugly macro conditions.The conversation also dives into Hyperliquid: its deal with Circle, whether regulation could eventually crush its edge, and what happens if traditional finance finally moves in on the perpetuals market. They unpack the bigger question of whether Hyperliquid can build a moat before the old system fully wakes up.They also cover one of the darkest themes in crypto right now: the growing physical security risk around self-custody. From bodyguards at conferences to wrench-attack fears and real-world theft tactics, the episode explores whether “not your keys, not your coins” is running into a brutal real-world limit.A wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin, macro, AI-driven markets, Hyperliquid, security, and the narratives shaping crypto right now.00:50 - Welcome Back and Market Overview02:13 - Crypto Market Analysis03:39 - Glassnode Chart Explanation04:51 - Cycle Length Chart Discussion06:12 - Inflation and Rate Cuts07:43 - Stock Market and Fed Transitions09:10 - Bullish Sentiments and AI Impact12:07 - Crypto and CapEx Spending13:44 - Future of Bitcoin and Crypto23:26 - Hyper Liquid and USDC Partnership27:17 - Regulation and Hyper Liquid's Future33:29 - Hyper Liquid Market Cap Surge33:50 - Crypto Security Concerns41:27 - Conclusion and Wrap-Up

In this powerful c episode of Kat on the Loose, I sat down with UFC champion Henry Cejudo, actor and filmmaker Adrian Grenier, and my co-host Director & Actor Garrett Patton for a raw, wide-ranging conversation that moves far beyond the spotlight.The trio comes together around their new film Self Custody, a project exploring the world of Bitcoin, financial independence, and what it really means to take ownership of your life in a rapidly changing world. But this episode goes much deeper than the film itself. They open up about identity, discipline, reinvention, fame, and the personal philosophies that have shaped their careers—on and off camera, inside and outside the ring.From championship mindset to creative evolution and the pursuit of freedom in modern life, this conversation blends storytelling, philosophy, and real-life experience in a way only Kat on the Loose can deliver. It's honest, unfiltered, and unexpectedly human—showing three very different paths that intersect around one powerful question: what does it truly mean to be in control of your own destiny?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Self-custody is only half the job.In this episode of The Why Bitcoin Show, I unpack one of the most overlooked risks in Bitcoin: inheritance. Because it's one thing to secure your bitcoin while you're alive — it's another thing entirely to make sure the people you love can actually access it if you die.I break down the three major gaps most Bitcoiners have in their inheritance planning: the technical gap, the legal gap, and the education gap. I also walk through the common options people rely on — from doing nothing, to using a generic will template, to hiring a lawyer, to handing everything over to a custodian — and explain where each approach can fall short.Most importantly, this is a practical episode. I share the key questions every Bitcoiner should be able to answer, what a solid inheritance plan actually looks like, and why inheritance planning is not morbid or pessimistic — it's the completion of self-custody.I also explain why I built My Bitcoin Will, a DIY Bitcoin inheritance starter kit designed to help people get off zero and start closing the gap between law, access, and education.If you're not ready to dive in yet, you can start with the free Bitcoin Inheritance Stress Test or download the checklist at My Bitcoin Will.Also, some gentle shilling from my side....if you don't know, I've written a book! - No Tenants, No Troubles: The Case for Digital Over Real Estate.

This episode features two live panels recorded at EthCC, exploring the next phase of DeFi's evolution—from institutional adoption to capital efficiency and yield generation. Panel 1: Institutional DeFi: From Stablecoins to RWAs Speakers discuss the rise of stablecoins, the growth of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and how institutions are entering onchain markets. Topics include tokenization frameworks, market structure challenges, transparency, and the role of DeFi in building a more global and accessible financial system. Panel 2: Capital Efficiency & Yield in Modern DeFi The second panel dives into lending vaults, yield strategies, and risk management. Participants break down capital efficiency, the difference between organic and incentivized yield, and how protocols are approaching risk monitoring, liquidity constraints, and portfolio construction in increasingly complex DeFi markets.

This episode walks through how to generate DUST on the Midnight network using a Lace wallet setup. Peter explains the dual-token model, where NIGHT is the transferable asset and DUST is used for gas fees, then shows the full registration flow from connecting a Cardano wallet to pairing a Midnight wallet and confirming the transaction.The tutorial also covers the practical steps needed before DUST generation can begin, including swapping ADA for NIGHT, authorising the Midnight registration flow, and reviewing the transaction details carefully before signing. Peter closes with a reminder about wallet security, the importance of never sharing seed phrases, and why self-custody remains a key part of the Midnight experience.Key Takeaways:Midnight uses a dual-token model where NIGHT is the transferable asset and DUST is used for gas fees.Lace Wallet now supports the steps needed to register a wallet for Midnight integration.You need to connect a Cardano wallet first, then connect or create the matching Midnight wallet.If your wallet does not already hold NIGHT, you may need to swap ADA for NIGHT before pairing and registration.The registration flow includes authorising the application and signing a transaction to pair the Cardano and Midnight addresses.DUST generation does not require handing over custody of your ADA or NIGHT assets to a third party.The interface may take time to sync, so patience is important during the early stage of the network.Wallet security still matters: never share your seed phrase and verify every transaction before signing.Website: https://learncardano.ioX/Twitter: https://x.com/LearnCardanoDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

In this conversation with Bitcoin.com News, WeChange CEO Rob Tökölyi shares why he pivoted from 16 years in traditional currency exchange to building the future of crypto on-ramps. From surviving the regulatory gauntlet in Europe to making self-custody as simple as online banking, Robi discusses the real barriers to crypto adoption—and why stablecoins, not Bitcoin headlines, represent the everyday transformation ahead.Guest: Robert Tökölyi, CEO of WeChangeHost: David SencilRecorded: March 11, 2026In this conversation:- His path from currency exchange entrepreneur to WeChange founder- How non-custodial fiat-to-crypto on-ramps work (and why they're different)- Why self-custody adoption requires better UX, not more tech-savvy users- The regulatory double-bind: MiCA, the Bank of England, and why startups face a compliance arms race- Stablecoins vs. Bitcoin: which will drive real adoption?- Why "crypto selling out to TradFi" is really about market sentiment, not fundamentalsAbout WeChange:WeChange is a global, non-custodial fiat-to-crypto on-ramp and off-ramp platform headquartered in Budapest, Hungary. In one transaction, users move money from their bank account directly to their crypto wallet with a flat 2.5% fee—no hidden charges, no intermediate steps.

Is the Be Your Own Bank dream a nightmare for most people? While the Bitcoin community has preached self custody as the only path to freedom, many are terrified of losing savings to a single technical error. Obi Nwosu (@obi) argues we have hit a wall with traditional sovereignty. Unless we make Bitcoin as easy as a group chat, we will never see the mass adoption required to topple the legacy financial system.We are entering a dark economic era where holding Bitcoin is a physical risk. Obi breaks down why privacy is the ultimate superpower to protect families from a wrench attack. When wealth is transparent on a public ledger, you become a target. By utilizing e-cash protocols, users regain the anonymity of physical cash while maintaining digital hardness. It is the shift from public target to private sovereign.The true innovation is happening within the circular economies of the Global South. From Bitcoin Beach to Nigeria, people use the lightning network to bypass failing banks. Obi explains these communities lack financial privilege. They need tools that work today, even with intermittent internet, proving utility is highest where the old world is broken.Fedimint miniaturizes exchange security for local communities. This model uses e-cash so guardians cannot see your balance or spending. It bridges the gap between the friction of self custody and the danger of centralized exchanges.Fedi integrates money and identity through open standards like NOSTR. This removes technical barriers, allowing the lightning network to act as global glue. Sovereignty becomes a byproduct of design rather than a chore.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Obi Nwosu:X: https://x.com/obiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/obinwosuWeb: https://www.fedi.xyz/Web: https://fedimint.org/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 Intro01:25 What can the West learn from Bitcoin circular economies?09:02 Why is the Global South front-running Western Bitcoin adoption?13:17 Why do major exchanges still lack Proof of Reserves?19:01 How to identify Bitcoin-only exchanges with ethical listing standards?37:24 Is Bitcoin self-custody too difficult for mass adoption?46:34 How to set up community-led Bitcoin custody with Fedimint?48:53 How does Chaumian e-cash provide total Bitcoin anonymity?1:12:38 How to execute peer-to-peer Bitcoin payments without internet?1:25:33 How to prevent wrench attacks using advanced Bitcoin OpSec?Live From Bitcoin Beach
We explore how institutional-grade MPC technology is finally migrating to retail, why seed phrases are a massive vulnerability, and whether self-custody can evolve to meet the realities of security, privacy, and regulation. - Why institutional custody standards never reached retail — until now - The real risks of seed phrases, wrench attacks, and physical crime - How MPC (multi-party computation) changes self-custody forever - Inheritance, recoverability, and protecting users from themselves - Privacy in crypto: is blockchain too transparent? - Full homomorphic encryption and the future of on-chain privacy - Should self-custody wallets face regulatory oversight? - How AI + blockchain could reshape compliance frameworks
The Last Trade: James Camp, co-founder of APFX, joins the crew to break down the multi-trillion dollar AI agent economy, why Bitcoin and stablecoins aren't in competition, and why the next bull market has nothing to do with retail investors.---

Your right to self-custody is being quietly negotiated away. Bipartisan deal-making on the stablecoin bill could gut the BRCA provisions that protect Bitcoin developers and your right to hold your own keys. Meanwhile, the Basel framework's 1,250% risk weight makes it so expensive for banks to hold Bitcoin that none of them will and that may be by design. They also dig into Trini Research's viral 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis report and why mass AI disruption could actually be hyper-bullish for Bitcoin.
Cameron Robertson first discovered Bitcoin in 2009, after reading a post on hacker website Slashdot. About a year later, he started mining and mingling with other Bitcoin enthusiasts in the Silicon Valley area. More recently, he created a product named the Burner: an affordable, NFC-based card that enables anyone to gift, save, and spend their BTC within a simple browser-based and mobile-optimized interface. In this episode, we talk about the past, present and future of the Bitcoin project: including topics such as mining, open source development culture, and the quantum threat.

Can a rural village in El Salvador actually replace the central bank?Host Jethro Toro hangs out with Mike Peterson and the founders of Bitcoin Berlin, Evelyn Lemus and Gerardo Linares. They talk about a grassroots movement that is changing how people use money. We explore the true story of El Zonte, where a project focused on community development built a true circular economy. They used the Lightning Network to make fast digital payments just to survive the pandemic proving the experts wrong years before big banks caught on.Evelyn and Gerardo explain exactly how they got a whole town excited about Bitcoin without asking the government for permission. We follow their journey from the coast to the mountains of Berlin. They are teaching high school students about decentralized finance so they can run their own independent systems instead of trusting apps to hold their money. They also highlight how El Salvador tourism is booming as Bitcoin fans visit to support local shop owners who are saving in Bitcoin.We also look at how they are fighting back against expensive money transfer companies. You will learn how a new project in La Laguna uses a local hardware store to help families send money home without paying Western Union's high fees. The team explains why they stopped using the government's Chivo wallet to use better open tools. They even share a new guide for anyone who wants to start a Bitcoin community in their own neighborhood.Subscribe to the channel to see the proof that this works, and leave a comment if you are ready to try a new way of using money.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect with Gerardo Linares and Evelyn Lemus:https://x.com/GR_Linares1 https://x.com/Evelynlemus2906 https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinBerlinSV Connect and Learn more about Jethro Toro:https://x.com/JethroTorohttps://rumble.com/user/BitcoinCountry 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:02:13 - The History of Bitcoin Beach 15:04 - Why El Zonte Switched to Lightning20:46 - How to Build a Bitcoin Circular Economy 32:00 - Living on a Bitcoin Standard in El Salvador 39:41 - Teaching Students to Run Nodes 47:51 - Replicating the Model in La Laguna 57:44 - Solving the Remittance Problem 1:09:58 - Building Bitcoin Network Effects Locally1:22:45 - Bitcoin Merchant Onboarding Guide PDFLive From Bitcoin Beach

TBD and Q dig into the real stakes of “being your own bank”: practical, failure-resistant self-custody; why panic is the enemy; and how to build muscle memory through small, repeatable drills. Q lays out a sober threat model, arguing the biggest risk is often the user, not the thief and stresses keeping setups simple until your skills grow. They also unpack the Samourai/Whirlpool fallout, the cultural slide from sovereignty to speculation, and why node ownership, recovery competence, and careful passphrase handling matter more than ever.TBD and Q explore financial sovereignty as resilient wealth storage, borderless portability, and the freedom to transact — benefits unlocked only through true self-custody. Q shares red lines around KYC and custodial products, assesses today's privacy toolkit (JoinMarket, self-custodial Lightning, Ashigaru), and outlines a pragmatic stack for intermediate users, including running your own node and choosing tools that match your abilities. They close with what's coming from Foundation — the open-source Passport Prime designed to secure your entire digital life — and where to follow Q's work and education.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 044: Bitcoin Freedom, Government Adoption Risks & IMF Criticism | My First Bitcoin Founder John DennehyWhat if government Bitcoin adoption isn't the victory everyone celebrates... but the greatest threat to true Bitcoin freedom? In this eye-opening interview on BTC Sessions, John Dennehy — founder of My First Bitcoin — drops the uncomfortable realities: governments and corporations could co-opt Bitcoin, turning it into just another controlled asset while stripping away self-custody, sovereignty, and individual power. He exposes the IMF's exploitative grip on nations, warns that politicians are "fair-weather friends" to Bitcoin, and shares why grassroots education and real-world usage are the only path to genuine liberation. From his own arrests and jail-cell epiphany ("They can't take this from me") to brutal lessons from El Salvador's experiment, John reveals why Bitcoin isn't just "number go up" — it's the tool to build a freer world, starting with self-custody and rejecting centralized control. If you're serious about Bitcoin as freedom money, this is the conversation you can't afford to miss.Key topics: Bitcoin freedom, government Bitcoin adoption, self-custody, Bitcoin education, IMF criticism, My First Bitcoin.Support My First BitcoinWebsite: https://myfirstbitcoin.orgX: @MyFirstBitcoin_Chapters:00:00 Teaser & Intro00:01:45 Government Adoption: Threat or Victory?00:03:09 Education + Usage for True Freedom00:06:46 Money = Power: Bitcoin's Unique Freedom00:08:01 Predictability & Long-Term Thinking00:11:08 Self-Custody vs Treasury Companies00:13:14 Global Adoption & Hurdles00:17:09 Politicians as Fair-Weather Friends00:22:27 The Cliff Analogy & Urgency00:25:08 Personal Actions & Leading by Example00:26:57 Regions Primed for Bitcoin00:30:36 John's Seizures & Bitcoin Journey00:36:48 IMF Exposed: Sovereignty Killer00:44:54 Alternatives & Preventative Solutions00:51:13 El Salvador Lessons00:58:25 Governments: Get Out of the Way01:01:13 Bitcoin Transforms Mindsets01:04:27 Building New Models01:10:59 Jail Liberation & Bitcoin Power01:16:52 Help My First Bitcoin & Get Involved About John Dennehy:X: https://x.com/jdennehy_writesPrevious Episode:Exposing the Global Elite's Bitcoin Psyop | Dr. Jack Kruse & Simon Dixon: https://youtu.be/4Rzv9meq3Yg
What if the real trap is not working hard, it is spending your best years building someone else's empire with money you do not even trust?Mike Peterson sits down with Efrat Fenigson (@efenigson) during Bitcoin Historico for a blunt conversation about the fiat system, corporate life, and why “growth for growth's sake” eventually stops making sense. Efrat explains how years of being great at driving revenue for other people pushed her toward a bigger question: who is this all really for?Before Bitcoin, Efrat Fenigson was deep in the tech world, first as a developer in Australia, then rising to executive roles in Israel. She talks about being a woman in tech on male-dominated teams, the early career reality behind the kinds of paths people imagine when they search video game designer job opportunities, and the moment she realized the work was not the same as purpose.Then things get personal. Efrat shares what happened when she spoke out during Covid, how backlash followed, and why free speech became a line she would not cross, even if it cost her socially and professionally. This is the part of the story where “play it safe” stops being advice and starts being a warning.Bitcoin enters through one sharp question that changed everything, “can they touch it?” Efrat Fenigson describes why self-custody, sound money, and censorship resistance felt like freedom tech, not just finance. It is also where her drive for financial independence turns into something broader, a freedom movement mindset built around sovereignty and personal responsibility.Finally, they zoom out to Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador, including Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte and what a real circular economy looks like when it is not just theory. Efrat and Mike Peterson talk about merchants accepting Bitcoin, why even small savings windows can change how people plan their lives, and why on-the-ground reality matters more than headlines.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about X: https://x.com/efenigson YT: https://www.youtube.com/@EfratFenigson 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:00:00:00 - Intro: Observing the reality of Bitcoin in El Salvador 00:08:13 - How do you become a global CMO in Israel? 00:09:43 - How can single motherhood and divorce debt push someone to pursue financial independence and retire early? 00:13:58 - Why do high earners quit corporate jobs? 00:17:51 - What happens when you speak out during Covid? 00:21:11 - How did Efrat Fenigson get into Bitcoin? 00:21:47 - Can the government seize Bitcoin?

“If you think they'll have restraint, I think you're making a grave error.” Can your wallet, your node, or even your hardware become “unlicensed financial activity” overnight? I walk through HRF's latest Financial Freedom report on new laws in places like the UAE and Belarus, then riff on how these tactics bleed into Western “financial stability” narratives, KYC social media, and digital ID. Along the way we explore the tools—from DIY hardware to Lightning and e‑cash—that might be the thin line between being banked, blocked, or truly sovereign.

"Our government is very, very corrupt. That's why we're here." In this episode, I chat with Alex McShane, a longtime Bitcoin builder, events producer, and deep thinker on everything from protocol development to the culture wars within Bitcoin. We dive into the reality of self-custody and the problems with deceptive hardware wallet marketing. We also explore the rise of open-source funding models and Nostr's challenges with product-market fit. Alex opens up about his background running massive conferences, his early work with Bitcoin Magazine, and his thoughts on whether the Bitcoin space is heading toward real progress or just creating echo chambers of underutilized tools.

Seth Hertlein is the Global Head of Policy at Ledger and one of the earliest, most persistent advocates for bitcoin self-custody in Washington. Known for his “lone ranger” years as the only lobbyist focused on protecting non-custodial rights, he brings a rare combination of securities law expertise, political insight, and deep conviction about individual property rights. In this episode, Seth joins The Last Free Americans to share how he fell down the bitcoin rabbit hole, why self-custody is a return to humanity's oldest property norms, and how today's policy battles will define digital freedom for generations. We dig into the evolution of financial intermediaries, the history of natural rights from Aristotle to the framers, and the real political forces lining up for and against self-custody.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe → Leave a review → Share the show with your friends and family → Send us an email: podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast → Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastTIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro to The Last Free Americans & Seth's unique role in policy2:20 – How a securities regulator became an “accidental crypto lobbyist”5:03 – Early bitcoin reading, monetary policy, and recognizing its political nature7:43 – The aha moment of self-custody: from Ledger device to first withdrawal12:58 – Ownership vs. possession: how financial markets drifted into full intermediation16:40 – Why self-custody is not new: property as a natural human right22:45 – How centralization overtook markets: certificates, DTCC, and efficiency tradeoffs27:58 – 2021: the year Washington and the industry “woke up” to each other33:10 – Keep Your Coins Act, Canadian truckers, and why lawful peer-to-peer matters38:40 – Property rights, natural law, and the framers' blind spots on privacy45:55 – Executive Order 6102, takings law, and lessons for bitcoin52:03 – How the Bank Secrecy Act and third-party doctrine became digital surveillance59:42 – The three camps opposing self-custody: nats-ec hawks, socialists, and bureaucracies1:05:40 – The IRS broker rule, CRA repeal, and precedents for stopping overreach1:11:22 – House vs. Senate language: what “retain the right” really means1:17:14 – Odds of passage in 2024 and why Senate floor time is everything1:22:44 – The global landscape: why America is still the last best hope1:27:50 – What comes next: privacy as the next digital freedom frontier1:32:10 – Closing thoughts on restoring founding principles through BitcoinWHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Unchained X: https://x.com/unchained → Unchained LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Kelly's Twitter: https://x.com/josephkelly → Seth Hertlein's Twitter: https://x.com/SethHertlein

In this episode, Zack joins The Bitcoin Frontier to break down why self-custody is foundational to bitcoin's value, how the Clarity Act could define financial freedom for a generation, and why the right to hold your own money might be the most American right of all.We dig into the constitutional roots of property rights, how U.S. law is being stretched to fit a peer-to-peer world, and why the fight for non-custodial software developers will determine the future of bitcoin in America.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe → Leave a review → Share the show with your friends and family → Send us an email: podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=you... → Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?ut...TIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro & the mission behind The Last Free Americans series2:00 – What self-custody really means and why it's the foundation of bitcoin's value3:45 – ETFs, financialization, and the fading connection to real bitcoin5:00 – Why self-custody matters more than ever in 20256:15 – How outdated laws are clashing with a peer-to-peer world7:40 – The Clarity Act and the battle for non-custodial rights9:00 – Would bitcoin even be valuable without self-custody?10:00 – How self-custody connects to America's founding values12:00 – The Constitution's protections for holding bitcoin: 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th Amendments16:00 – The history lesson: Executive Order 6102 and gold confiscation18:30 – Enumerated powers, the 9th Amendment, and the people's retained rights21:00 – Why protecting non-custodial developers is critical to freedom23:30 – Tornado Cash, Samurai Wallet, and the dangerous new legal precedents27:30 – Knowledge vs. intent: how the DOJ's theories stretch the law31:00 – The risk of calling developers “money transmitters”33:30 – Steelmanning the other side: why regulators see a loophole37:00 – How the Bank Secrecy Act evolved from mob busting to digital dragnet40:30 – From halawa networks to bitcoin: applying old laws to new rails42:30 – The real ideological divide: state control vs. individual liberty46:00 – Why self-custody embodies the American idea of limited government47:30 – If Bitcoin existed in 1776, would the framers have protected self-custody?49:00 – Strategy going forward: the Clarity Act, education, and vigilance52:00 – The political battle ahead: Elizabeth Warren, ICOs, and what's really at stake54:00 – How bitcoin helps the least powerful—and why that matters mostWHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Unchained X: https://x.com/unchained → Unchained LinkedIn: / unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter:
What good is financial sovereignty if your body is still in custodial care? Mike Peterson sits down with Christopher Wedick to map out the Reclaiming Health and Longevity Symposium in San Salvador, a two-day meet-up where decentralized health meets decentralized wealth. They talk health sovereignty, community healing, and why El Salvador's mix of safety, affordability, and sunlight makes it a real base for people who want financial self-custody and practical lifestyle medicine. This is the week where Bitcoin pragmatists and wellness builders compare notes in the same room.Christopher shares why he left Canada for El Salvador, how value-aligned community changes daily life, and what “reclaiming health” looks like without pharma as the default. The conversation covers natural remedies, sun and diet basics, and tech like Neurovisor light therapy. It is a clear path for visitors coming for @adoptingbitcoin 2025 and Bitcoin Histórico, who also want low-cost protocols, credible speakers, and a welcoming scene at Salamanca.You will hear why speakers like Dr. Peter McCullough (@petermcculloughmd ) and Dr. William Makis (@MakiswMD ) wanted to join the conversation, how voices around Dr. Jack Kruse and his community are educating the health industry in El Salvador.You will hear how the event works, who is speaking, and what follows, including the Elevating Consciousness Experience and the Bitcoin Well Mastermind. If you have been asking where holistic health and Bitcoin adoption overlap in a real place with real people, this episode gives you the playbook. Get your tickets at

Casa CEO Nick Neuman argues Bitcoin needs self-custody adoption to survive long-term.
