VIBE SHIFT: America's Identity, New Overton Window, & Bitcoin's Bull Case | Marty Bent "I am incredibly, incredibly bullish right now." In this episode, I chat with Marty Bent, co-founder of TFTC, host of Rabbit Hole Recap, and one of the most clear-headed voices in Bitcoin media. We dig into the state of Bitcoin markets and why Marty remains deeply bullish despite volatility, before moving into a wide-ranging conversation on Nostr, live streaming, and the cultural shift toward open protocols. If you’re trying to understand how Bitcoin, family, culture, and politics all collide in this moment, and where optimism still makes sense, this episode is for you.

DO THE F***ING MATH | BITCOIN AFTER DARK EP 1 (BAD001) "Bitcoin is the best money that humanity has ever invented, discovered, whatever you want to say. There's 21 million forever. There's infinite fiat forever. Do the f***ing math. This isn't that complicated. You just have to stack sats." This is episode one of BITCOIN AFTER DARK. These episodes are originally live streamed as "emergency broadcasts" and I figured I might as well put them out as regular episodes. If you are bearish or worried about bitcoin right now, then this episode is for you. For this rip I'm solo for the first part then joined by

BITCOIN IS ANARCHY. DEAL WITH IT | NVK on THE Bitcoin Podcast "Bitcoin's anarchy, right?

BITCOIN CORE VS KNOTS, SPAM VS FILTERS, QUANTUM THREATS, & SOCIAL ENGINEERING | Jameson Lopp "If we ever get to the point where nobody's arguing about Bitcoin, I would be afraid that that's because nobody cares anymore and Bitcoin is actually dead or dying." In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Bitcoin technologist Jameson Lopp (Casa co-founder & CSO) joins Walker America to cut through today’s Bitcoin noise: filter wars, spam on Bitcoin, standardness vs. consensus, the real risks (social engineering vs wrench attacks), and how to actually secure generational wealth with family multi-sig. We also dive into the quantum computing threat—timelines, soft-fork options, migration game theory, and why coordination (not cryptography alone) will be the hard part. Plus: culture/politics, ossification, and how debates keep Bitcoin antifragile. FOLLOW JAMESON: NOSTR:
