Bitcoin Well Podcast

Bitcoin is at $64K USD. The Korean stock market just dropped 30% in a day. Asian markets are flashing red from Japan to Taiwan. The Fed is about to hike rates. And Galaxy Research dropped a $5M bet that quantum computers will break Bitcoin before the ecosystem can respond. Q, Riley, and Zach cover all of it: why every global stock market is a cousin of the US market, what the S&P priced in gold actually shows since 2000, the Galaxy quantum bet and whether it's signal or noise, the Clarity Act timeline, and a bet involving the world's hottest chip that Riley is going to regret.

Next episode: Pete Rizzo.

Future-proof your money

This is not a drill. On July 30th, 594 Bitcoin — roughly $38 million — was swept from 500 wallets in about 25 minutes. Nobody was phished. Nobody's device was touched. A firmware bug in Coldcard meant the random numbers generating people's seed phrases weren't actually random. A predictable seed is a math problem an attacker can solve. Zach — who owns a Mark III — breaks format to give you the immediate action steps first, then walks through the full timeline, the entropy failure explained simply, what a BIP39 passphrase would have protected, why multisig across multiple vendors is the structural fix, and the habits that protect you regardless of who makes your wallet.

Bitcoin clawed back to $64K. BlackRock added $600 million. ETF inflows ran 5 straight days. The loud screen was euphoric. The quiet screen — fear and greed index locked at 28, gold near all-time highs, Treasury yields ripping — was telling a completely different story. Zach reads his original piece on the gap between price and belief, why the crowd doesn't trust this rebound, why an ETF share is a claim on a claim, and why the only version of Bitcoin that delivers on its promise is the one whose private keys exist only in your physical possession.

Bitcoin just crashed from a $122K all-time high to $63K, and this week alone brought five separate bombshells. Trump accused China of stealing 220 million US voter files and Bitcoin dropped within hours. The US struck 80+ Iranian military targets. Russia's Duma just legalized Bitcoin for cross-border trade. Treasury and Commerce are in an open turf war over who controls the government's 300,000+ BTC reserve. And Michael Saylor, the guy who said "you do not sell your Bitcoin", sold Bitcoin.

This week Alex McShane and Hank Hudson join us to break down all of it, including the theory nobody wants to say out loud: does China's 190,000+ BTC state stash make Bitcoin a geopolitical weapon? And with the Strategic Reserve stalled and Strategy $13B underwater, who's actually left buying?

Future-proof your money

In January 2026, US forces seized Nicolás Maduro and announced they'd run Venezuela through a transition. The stated prize was the oil. Nobody pretended otherwise. Zach reads his original piece pulling the thread from Nixon closing the gold window to the petrodollar handshake to Venezuela, Libya, Iran — and the uncomfortable possibility that the Strait of Hormuz closing was the planned outcome, not the disaster. Plus: what if the great power rivalry is, at the altitude where real money moves, less of a cage match and more of a script? And what you can actually do about it.

Documented facts first. Tinfoil hats firmly resting in cold hard truth.

Michael Saylor built the biggest corporate bitcoin bet in history. Now the charts are red and the questions are getting louder. On this episode of the Bitcoin Well Podcast, we sit down with Chris Alaimo (Strategic Advisor at Simple Bitcoin) and Joe Consorti (Horizon) to dig into what's actually happening with Saylor's position, whether "forced seller" fears are real or overblown, and what it could mean for the rest of the market if they play out.

Bitcoin Well Reads: Your House Is a Savings Account but It Just Stopped Paying.

Florida home prices are technically up 1.8%. Inflation ran 4.2%. That's a real loss most owners will never feel — and that's exactly the point. Zach reads his original piece on housing demonetization: the quiet, drift-based process by which the monetary premium stacked on top of shelter starts migrating away — not in a crash, but one flat year at a time. Henry Hazlitt, Ludwig von Mises, 170,000 Florida listings, and why Bitcoin was built for exactly the job your house was never designed to do.

Bitcoin Well Reads: The KIDS Act Was Never About Kids. It's About Control.

On June 29th, 2026 the House passed the Kids Act — an omnibus bill sold as protecting children online. Almost nobody covered the part that actually matters: the slow construction of an internet where the price of admission is your government ID. Zach reads his original piece connecting the Kids Act to KYC, the UK Online Safety Act, Texas's ID for Content Law, the EU's cracked age verification app, and why this is ultimately the same fight as sound money. The permissioned internet and the permissioned bank account are branches of the same tree.

He was quietly cashing in while everyone else got rugged. On episode 1 of the Bitcoin Well Podcast, we sit down with Tatum Turn Up — yes, the guy behind Between Two ASICs — to break down what's really going on with Trump, crypto rug pulls, and what it means for bitcoiners. We also get into the mining side of things, since that's Tatum's actual day job — expect real insider perspective on where that industry is headed.

Kevin Warsh chaired his first FOMC meeting on June 17th, 2026. By the time it was over, every rate cut penciled in for 2026 was gone. Bitcoin fell from 66K to 62K. Gold — the safe haven — was also bleeding. And the headlines did what they always do: screamed volatility.

Zach reads his original piece connecting June 17th to Frederick Hayek's knowledge problem and the difference between money run by rules and money run by a person. The uncomfortable mirror: if you're anxious about who the next Fed chair will be, you've already admitted the problem.
