Bitcoin Takeover Podcast Season 17

Bitcoin Takeover Podcast Season 17

I think Tone Vays makes an interesting point about the Knots faction: they’re broke lol I mean, what kind of person complains about spending $100 extra on a hard drive and expects new software to run flawlessly on a Raspberry Pi from 7 years ago?

If we don’t actually improve Bitcoin BTC will get tokenized on other networks WBTC on ETH is already the most popular L2/sidechain with 121k BTC spread across 164k addresses BTCx on Zano is already a thing: Monero privacy for bridged bitcoin Shielded assets on Zcash are coming. DarkFi is coming too. There is a non-zero chance that the future of Bitcoin happens outside of the mother blockchain

In the future, content creators will learn to speak with weird accents or speech impairments only to distinguish themselves from AI

How many Bitcoin podcasts are older than 7 years and still publish new episodes regularly?

Tomorrow the Bitcoin Takeover podcast celebrates 7 years since I posted the first episodes If you’re on the Elon app, join the anniversary https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1YqKDNqpvOwJV

Bitcoin Takeover podcast stats for January 2026: 36699 downloads in total Bruce Fenton, Tyler Spalding & Paul Sztorc were the most popular guests Thank you all for listening! 🫡

Yes, the Epstein files are nice But can we activate CTV + CSFS now? Or OP_CAT? Great Script Restoration? Anything at all that lets the builders create the next use case that brings users and investors?

This is the most concerning thing I’ve read in the Epstein files: Plotting to control Bitcoin development. Finding a power vacuum when the Foundation shut down in order to grab the top 3 developers. Possibly influencing development for the next few years.

Bitcoin deserves better competition. Otherwise, it will never improve.

If you’re going to listen to one podcast episode this weekend Check out my recent interview with Paul Sztorc In which he talks about the multiple Bitcoin derangements This will help you understand why the market is so red and 17 years later we still can’t make banks obsolete https://www.youtube.com/live/GMX_Agbe-9w?si=5xwFAOcn4U23fkVX

How low should Bitcoin go in order to once again have an honest conversation about upgrades?

Had a dream that bitcoin crashed to $100 and the alts were in the single digits Michael Saylor had deleted his account Everyone was freaking out, wondering if this is the end. Should they buy the 99% dip or short it to 0? But I was feeling hopeful that we can finally rebuild

genuinely happy that gold is finally having its moment honestly unsurprised that bitcoin hasn’t replaced it as the preferred store of value in times of financial uncertainty it’s only been 17 years and we still have a lot of stuff to figure out: scaling, privacy, contracts, quantum resistance, user experience for self custody, education and honest narratives about what this is and what it’s supposed to do not too late for bitcoin to get replaced by a better design either

> citrea launched today > the bitcoin fees are going up > sub 1 sat/vbyte transactions take longer to confirm > the bitcoin miners are eating again

Bitcoin needs more awkward nerds and schizophrenic geniuses Fewer sleazy suits, self confident conference speakers, and self help book salesmen It’s the nerds who stop mid sentence during podcasts because they had an eureka moment and lose their train of thought who make BTC great

> there was no demand for an internet currency for payments, so we turned bitcoin into a store of value > tether has about 2x the volume of btc on a daily basis usdt is the ultimate blind spot for the maxi cult

how to use the quantum craze to crash the bitcoin price: 1. find 2009 miner who is not satoshi 2. buy his 50 btc utxo for 10x the spot price 3. short btc on exchange 4. move the 50 btc to a new taproot address 5. pay a journalist to publish a piece about quantum computer stealing satoshi’s bitcoin 6. profit 7. rinse and repeat with diminishing returns until bitcoin replaces ecdsa with post-quantum signatures
