  • Alchemy | Knut Svanholm | Everything Divided By 21 Million | Ep 2 of 12

    Is Bitcoin a discovery of physics or just financial code?

    In Episode 2 of the Infinity Series, we sit down with Knut Svanholm (Author, Bitcoin: Everything Divided by 21 Million) to dismantle the biggest lie in modern economics: that Central Bankers are the "experts." In reality, they are failed alchemists who print value out of thin air.

    We explore the "Element Zero" theory—the idea that Bitcoin is the world’s first and only informational element. It has no protons, no neutrons, and no mass, yet it anchors objective reality more firmly than gold.

    In this episode:

    🧪 Central Banking is "Successful Alchemy" (and why that's terrifying)

    ⚛️ The Physics of Bitcoin: Why it’s "Element Zero"

    📉 The "Everything Divided by 21 Million" Equation
    🦅 Emergence Theory: Why Satoshi couldn't stop Bitcoin even if he wanted to
    💀 Finite Bitcoin vs. Infinite Sh*tcoins

  • Time | Knut Svanholm | Everything Divided By 21 Million | Ep 1 of 12

    What if inflation is “mass time theft,” money is a rigged game, and Bitcoin

    is humanity’s upgrade from caves to the stars? In this first episode of Cypherpunk’d, Matty sits down with Bitcoin author and philosopher Knut Svanholm to demolish everything you think you know about money, time, and freedom.

    This episode sets the foundation for the entire series by examining:

    - Why “time is the only truly finite resource”

    - How inflation, taxes & money printing create stealth slavery
    - Why fiat makes it “very expensive to be poor”
    - The link between technological advancement & falling production costs
    - Time preference, delayed gratification & civilization
    - Why Bitcoin — absolutely finite — becomes the ultimate representation of human time
    - Why prices should fall forever in a healthy monetary system
    - The math behind Bitcoin as a new element of civilization

    This 12-episode series is what Knut calls a “philosophical demolition” of what you think you know about money, freedom, and human society.

    We unpack why prices don’t fall even though we keep getting better at producing everything, how fiat money silently enslaves you through taxes and inflation, and why we’re all working for a type of money that other people can print at will. Knut explains “time preference,” delayed gratification, the marshmallow test, and why civilization itself is built on tools that save someone time somewhere.

    From supermarkets full of cheap junk to smartphones that would’ve been a secret agent’s dream 20 years ago, this conversation connects real‑world examples to deep economic and philosophical ideas. We dive into Everything Divided by 21 Million, why Bitcoin is the best representation of human time we’ve ever had, and how a fixed 21M cap changes how we measure value, risk, and human potential.

    If you’ve ever felt the system is stacked against you but couldn’t quite explain why, this episode will give you the language, the math, and the mental models to see the game clearly—and opt out.

  • Inflation, Debt & Bitcoin: The Economic Truth They Never Taught Us | Alex Stanczyk

    The dollar is failing, inflation is theft, and the world’s superpowers are moving gold in secret.

    In this episode of Cypherpunk'd, we sit down with Alex Stanczyk (@alexstanczyk), a combat veteran, former gold fund manager, and Managing Director at Swan Bitcoin. Alex has guided family offices through over $1 billion in Bitcoin acquisitions, but before that, he spent a decade in the gold industry. He reveals why he abandoned the "safety" of gold for the absolute scarcity of Bitcoin and explains the terrifying math behind the 2% inflation target.

    We discuss:

    - The Secret Gold Trade: Alex shares an insider story about Russian gold moving into China in tanks to avoid detection.
    - The Inflation Trap: Why the "2% target" is actually a plan to steal 50% of your wealth every 35 years.
    - The Hamster Wheel: Why you can’t "work hard" your way out of a broken system anymore.
    - Escape Velocity: The specific strategy to secure your future before the dollar collapses.
    - Geopolitics: How the US kicking Russia off the "Monopoly board" accelerated the death of the dollar.

    If you feel like you're running faster just to stay in place, this episode explains exactly why—and how to get off the wheel.

  • From D1 Athlete to Top 1% Podcaster - Bitcoin, Identity Crisis & The Lie About Success | Shawn French

    Top 1% podcaster and high-performance coach Shawn French (@TheDeterminedSociety) joins Cypherpunk'd to demolish the myths of overnight success and external validation.

    In this deep and raw conversation, Shawn shares his story of having a "full-blown identity crisis" after his D1 baseball career at LSU ended, and how he rebuilt his life by fixing himself first. He reveals the moment his mindset shifted—by changing his alarm clock from "Wake up, bitch" to "I love you, Sean."

    We explore the parallels between his journey and the core principles of Bitcoin, discussing "proof of work" as a life philosophy, the power of delaying gratification (the marshmallow test), and why fiat currencies are designed to fail.

    If you've ever tied your identity to a job, a follower count, or a blue checkmark, this episode is a must-watch.

  • Proof-of-Health: Why One Surgeon Rejected the Broken Medical System | Dr. Shawn Baker

    Dr. Shawn Baker was a decorated orthopedic surgeon and elite athlete who discovered something the medical system didn't want him to share: his patients were healing WITHOUT surgery just by changing their diet. When he tried to help them avoid operations through nutrition, the hospital system came after him with a sham investigation that cost him three years of his career.

    In this explosive conversation, Dr. Baker reveals:

    • How the pharmaceutical industry turned doctors into "subcontractors"
    • Why disease management replaced actual healing in American healthcare
    • His experience as a trauma surgeon in Afghanistan treating horrific war injuries
    • The real science behind the carnivore diet and human evolution
    • Why the World Health Organization's red meat cancer claims are propaganda funded by Bill Gates
    • How he was banned from social media for questioning COVID vaccine mandates
    • The connection between chronic disease and the processed food industry
    • Why one in four Americans now suffer from mental health issues
    • His vision for reclaiming personal health sovereignty

    Dr. Baker is the author of "The Carnivore Diet" and founder of Revero, a company helping patients reverse metabolic disease through nutrition. He's been labeled the #1 "misinfluencer" in the world by the Eat Lancet Commission for challenging mainstream nutritional dogma.

    This isn't just about diet—it's about taking back control from corrupt centralized systems that profit from keeping you sick and dependent.
