The Jason & Andrew Show - an easy going, deep dive podcast/video series hosted by Jason and Andrew, exploring the cutting edge of Bitcoin innovation, sovereignty, and real world utility.
In each episode, the duo breaks down timely market moves, technical developments, protocol debates, and the philosophical drive to build truly decentralized tools on Bitcoin's unshakeable foundation.
In this episode, Jason and Andrew tackle:
✅Bitcoin's recent dip to $60k - analyzing the sharp sell off (briefly hitting as low as ~$60,000 amid broader market pressure), what triggered it, whale activity, ETF flows, and whether this is a healthy correction or a sign of deeper bearish momentum in early 2026.
✅OpenTimestamps - how this powerful, free protocol uses Bitcoin to create verifiable, censorship resistant proofs of existence for documents, files, or data. Proving something existed at a certain time without relying on trusted third parties.
✅Spaces Protocol - the spotlight on this scalable, permissionless Bitcoin native naming system. Spaces enables sovereign identities (like @yourname handles) anchored directly as UTXOs on Bitcoin. No new chain, no mods to Bitcoin, just pure scripting and auctions for community "Spaces" and subspaces. It's designed for massive scale, privacy, and integration with Nostr, wallets, and P2P apps.
✅Bitcoin Knots vs. Bitcoin Core - comparing the two implementations, why some users prefer Core or Knots for additional features and policy tweaks, and its role in the current ecosystem (including signaling for proposals).
✅BIP 110 - diving into this proposed soft fork to limit data carrying in transactions, plus the debate around its activation and implications.
✅Rugging UTXOs - discussing strategies and ethics around "rugging" "spam" related UTXOs (forcing consolidation or reclaiming value from junk inscriptions/data heavy outputs listed in spam catalogs).
✅Why DNS is centralized - unpacking the vulnerabilities of traditional Domain Name System (controlled by ICANN, registrars, and governments) from censorship and seizure risks to single points of failure and contrasting it with Bitcoin secured alternatives like Spaces protocol.
✅Why it's important to build important tools on Bitcoin, the core thesis: Bitcoin's unmatched security, decentralization, and immutability make it the ideal base layer for critical infrastructure like naming, identities, timestamps, and more. Building here ensures true sovereignty, resists capture, and scales with Bitcoin's proven track record, avoiding the pitfalls of altchains or centralized systems.

INSIDE BITCOIN SPACES: INTRODUCTION

ANOTHER BITCOIN HYPOCRITE (Jor)
I'm not trying to dictate what anyone should do with their Bitcoin, people are free to make their own choices and sovereignty over your keys includes the right to use them however you see fit.
That said, this is my honest opinion on how we actually advance Bitcoin toward becoming sound money and break free from the fiat debt based system it's designed to replace.
Bitcoin exists as a direct alternative to that system.
When we lend BTC as collateral to borrow USD, we're effectively extending the life of the very fiat system we're trying to escape. The purest path to Bitcoin's vision is using it as money. Spend it where possible, replace what you spend, and encourage others to do the same.
It's frustrating to see Bitcoin treated primarily as a dollar yield or liquidity tool rather than money itself.
We're in a transitional phase. Most goods, services, taxes, salaries, and daily life are still fiat denominated.
If enough of us succumb to fiat loans as the default strategy, Bitcoin risks ending up like gold. Hoarded by a small group (institutions) while the masses continue using fiat (or CBDCs/digital dollars) created at will by those with legal authority.
That's not hyperbitcoinization, that's Bitcoin becoming just another asset class inside the existing system.
You're handing over control of scarce, hard money in exchange for more fiat tokens essentially trading real goods for Chuckie Cheese coins.
I hear people passionately argue that Bitcoin gives us back our time, energy, and sovereignty by holding it in self custody. I fully agree, that's one of its most powerful promises. Yet when the same voices promote fiat backed lending infrastructure as a parallel path 'we can do both', it's inconsistent with the goal of Bitcoin as money.
You can do anything with your Bitcoin, but we should be clear about the incentives and long term outcomes it enables.

BIP-353 delivers practical human readable Bitcoin payments today via DNS TXT records + DNSSEC proofs, but at the cost of relying on third party domain registrars, DNS infrastructure, and the inherent trust in those systems.
With Spaces Protocol, we have a real shot to prove that truly permissionless, trust minimized naming can be just as (or more) practical: sovereign ownership anchored in Bitcoin UTXOs, fair auctions, off-chain subspaces with ZK verifiability, and no central chokepoints.
The goal isn't to reject usability, it's to achieve it without compromise. Let's build toward that future on Bitcoin's bedrock. #Bitcoin #BIP353 #SpacesProtocol #TrustlessNaming


Spend #Bitcoin = Spread Bitcoin
Bitcoin's core strengths as a decentralized, secure form of money are undeniable. Yet, one persistent challenge has been user friendly identification in transactions, relying on cumbersome addresses rather than intuitive handles.
Enter Spaces Protocol: A groundbreaking naming system built directly on Bitcoin's infrastructure, without needing new blockchains or protocol changes. Spaces empowers users with sovereign, permissionless identities anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain.
How does it enhance Bitcoin's utility as money?
🔸Simplified Transactions: Replace long, error-prone Bitcoin addresses with memorable handles (example: @id). This streamlines peer to peer payments, making Bitcoin more accessible as a medium of exchange, much like sending money to a username on traditional apps, but fully decentralized and without the need for an additional token. BTC only.
🔸Enhanced Privacy and Security: Identities are controlled by users, not centralized entities, reducing risks of censorship or data breaches. With minimal on chain footprint, Spaces leverages Bitcoin's proof of work for tamper proof ownership, bolstering Bitcoin's role as a store of value by tying identities to verifiable assets.
🔸Interoperability Across Ecosystems: Compatible with protocols like #Nostr and wallets, Spaces facilitates seamless integration for social payments, P2P apps, and even DNS like coordination for Bitcoin transfers without the central party required. This fosters broader adoption, positioning Bitcoin as a versatile unit of account in decentralized finance.
By burning auction proceeds and distributing spaces through fair mechanisms, the protocol ensures credible neutrality and scarcity, aligning with Bitcoin's ethos.
As we push toward a truly sovereign financial future, Spaces Protocol isn't just an add on, it's the catalyst for Bitcoin's mainstream use as sound money. #Bitcoin #SpacesProtocol #DecentralizedIdentity #BestMoney


Use #Bitcoin like money. Spend it proudly. Replace immediately. Stay #sovereign.


Spaces Protocol introduces a scalable, trustless identity layer on #Bitcoin.
Primary Spaces (community namespaces) are auctioned on chain, while each can issue Millions of Subspaces, individual handles managed off chain with zk-proof verification.
This enables users to generate numerous unique, anonymous identities or addresses (via silent payments), reducing on chain linkage and enhancing transaction #privacy without compromising Bitcoin's security.
A powerful step toward sovereign, private Bitcoin usage. Learn more: spacesprotocol.org #BitcoinPrivacy

Why "Borrow Until You Die" Works for Traditional Assets, But NOT for #Bitcoin👇
Many financial advisors suggest #borrowing against your assets (like homes or stock portfolios) instead of selling them. Pay low interest #loans with rental #income or dividends, enjoy tax benefits, and pass the debt to your heirs. It can makes sense, here's why:
Traditional #assets aren't truly yours in the absolute sense. Your house or stock shares are claims registered in someone else's #database (government land registry, brokerage, etc.). If you default on a loan, the lender can seize them. You're already #exposed to that risk of loss, so pledging them as collateral doesn't fundamentally change your ownership, you never had unbreakable control.
Bitcoin is different.
With Bitcoin, if you hold your own #private keys, you have true, absolute ownership. No third party can freeze, seize, or reverse it without your consent. It's the first asset in history where possession is ownership, you have total control.
Once you pledge Bitcoin as collateral for a loan and hand over control (even partially, I'm looking at you multi sigers), that absolute #ownership is gone. If the lender liquidates during a market dip, or if the platform fails, your Bitcoin is gone forever. No insurance, no recourse, no undo button. There's only 21 million Bitcoin and it requires energy to create them.
Borrowing against traditional assets is low risk because you're only leveraging something you don't fully control anyway. Borrowing against Bitcoin means risking the one asset you do fully control.
For most people, the safer path with Bitcoin is simple. Hold it directly, avoid #leverage, and treat it as the ultimate unseizable store of value.
Don't fall for the trap some so called 'Bitcoiners' are pushing with USD loans for your Bitcoin.
Your keys, your coins. Keep them.

Unlocking Sovereign Identities on Bitcoin: Why Spaces Protocol is the Next Frontier for High Net Worth Investors
As a high net worth individual navigating the evolving landscape of digital assets, you've likely built substantial positions in #Bitcoin, recognizing its unparalleled potential as a store of value and hedge against traditional financial systems. But true visionaries don't stop at holding BTC, they invest in the infrastructure that propels it forward. If you believe in Bitcoin's transformative power, you'll appreciate innovations that enhance its usability, security, and mass appeal. Enter Spaces Protocol: a groundbreaking decentralized naming system built directly on Bitcoin, poised to accelerate adoption like never before.
At its core, Spaces Protocol isn't just about domain names or vanity handles, it's about establishing sovereign Bitcoin #identities. These are censorship-resistant, permissionless identifiers anchored securely on the Bitcoin blockchain itself, leveraging its existing infrastructure without needing a new chain or protocol modifications.
Owning a memorable, verifiable handle (like @YourName) that transcends simple web domains or centralized social sites like X. Spaces integrates seamlessly across ecosystems: from Nostr for decentralized social networking, to wallet naming for streamlined Bitcoin transactions, to peer-to-peer applications that demand trustless verification. This isn't a superficial label; it's a foundational layer of digital sovereignty, giving you full control and #privacy over your online presence in a world increasingly threatened by centralization.
What sets Spaces apart for discerning investors like you? It's the catalyst for exponential Bitcoin growth. By embedding user friendly identities into Bitcoin's ecosystem, Spaces lowers barriers to entry for everyday users and institutions alike. No more clunky public keys or forgettable wallet addresses, Spaces makes Bitcoin accessible, #intuitive, and integrated into daily digital life. This drives adoption dramatically as more individuals and enterprises adopt these identities for social, financial, and collaborative purposes, Bitcoin's network effects amplify.
Early data from the protocol's mainnet launch shows rapid uptake, signaling a shift toward Bitcoin as the backbone of decentralized identity worldwide. For #HNWIs, this means securing premium Spaces early could mirror the value accrual of rare .com’s, but with deeper utility tied to Bitcoin's core strengths.
If you hold Bitcoin, you inherently value the infrastructure that makes it better, things like Lightning for scalability, and now Spaces for identity. This protocol doesn't compete with Bitcoin; it fortifies it, creating new on-ramps for billions while preserving the principles of decentralization and security we all cherish. As Bitcoin evolves from a speculative asset to a global utility, Spaces positions you at the vanguard.
