Hosts McIntosh and Kenshin discuss their frustrations with Bitcoin, focusing on security concerns for holders, lack of built-in privacy features, and toxic community drama. They also analyze why Trump isn't truly the "Bitcoin president" despite his rhetoric. The episode covers recent regulatory threats to Bitcoin privacy tools and updates on market conditions.

Stick around to the very end for the v4v track, “I Play Guitar” by Doerfel Family Bluegrass.
