Trace Mayer joins Cedric Youngelman on the Bitcoin Matrix Podcast, sharing his origin story from playing text-based online games and experimenting with digital gold currencies in the mid-90s to discovering Bitcoin through deep study of Austrian economics and monetary law in law school. They explore the hidden history of money in American law, the significance of Dr. Edwin Vieira's Pieces of Eight, and how GATA exposed central bank gold price suppression. The conversation digs into Trace's pioneering role in Bitcoin -- from launching Run to Gold in 2008 and funding Kraken and Armory to coining the stock-to-flow concept for Bitcoin -- and his conviction that monetary sovereignty is worth fighting for despite intimidation from those who control the existing financial system.

Trace Mayer joins Robin Seyr to discuss the explosive growth of Bitcoin from a six-figure market cap to a six-figure price in just 16 years, and the current window of opportunity to advance monetary sovereignty through legislation like the Clarity Act and Genius Act. They trace his journey from launching the Run to Gold blog in 2008 and studying Austrian economics to becoming one of Bitcoin's earliest public advocates, helping fund Kraken and Armory, and pioneering the stock-to-flow framework. The conversation covers the history of digital gold currencies, the challenges of monetary innovation under heavy regulation, GATA's exposure of gold price suppression, and why Bitcoin's decentralized verification makes it a superior tool for monetary sovereignty compared to gold.

Trace Mayer is interviewed live at the Bitcoin conference by Isabella Santos for Bitcoin Magazine, reflecting on how the industry has transformed from a small cryptography mailing list to a fully institutionalized ecosystem with six-figure prices and Wall Street involvement. They discuss Bitcoin's rapid rise as a monetary competitor to gold, the mechanics of central bank gold price suppression exposed by GATA, China's secret physical gold accumulation strategy, and an insider account of the Blocksize Wars and why keeping blocks small was essential to preserving decentralization. Trace also shares the story of helping the U.S. Marshals custody seized Bitcoin using Armory and explains Bitcoin's seven network effects driving its evolution toward world reserve settlement currency.

Trace Mayer joins Joe Burnett on the Bitcoin Frontier podcast to recap his debate with Peter Schiff, explain why Satoshi Nakamoto was a monetary entrepreneur rather than just a technologist, and break down Bitcoin's advantages over gold in scarcity and portability. They discuss Michael Saylor's leveraged strategy and its risks, why Bitcoin's declining volatility signals maturation, the accelerating financialization of Bitcoin through ETFs and options, and how global instability and capital controls are driving adoption.

Trace Mayer reunites with Kerry Lutz on the Financial Survival Network after nearly a decade to discuss how Bitcoin has evolved from an obscure digital experiment into a strategic reserve asset recognized by nation states. They cover how Austrian economics and the study of monetary history prepared Trace to identify Bitcoin early, the impact of Operation Choke Point on financial freedom, the constitutional flaws of the Federal Reserve, and why inflation is a hidden tax that destroys everyday wealth.

Trace Mayer is interviewed by Martin Bystrom on Bitcoinpodden, tracing his journey from launching the Run to Gold blog to becoming one of Bitcoin's earliest advocates. They discuss the weaponization of financial systems through Operation Choke Point, why hyperbitcoinization is accelerating as nation states adopt Bitcoin, the seven network effects driving Bitcoin's growth, and the philosophical foundations of individual rights and Austrian economics that underpin monetary sovereignty.

Trace Mayer joins Bram Kanstein live from Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas to discuss Bitcoin as a tool for monetary sovereignty through nonviolent cryptographic means. They explore how asymmetric encryption has changed the economics of violence, why understanding Bitcoin requires deep study of monetary history and Austrian economics, and how millennials and future generations can empower themselves by lowering time preference, developing human capital, and building on first principles.

Trace Mayer sits down with Mike Peterson in El Salvador for an impromptu conversation about monetary sovereignty, Bitcoin's role as legal tender, and the transformation happening under President Bukele. They discuss the history of sound money from gold to Bitcoin, how inflation is a hidden form of theft, the importance of Proof of Keys for verifying exchange solvency, and how the Fourth Turning and geopolitical shifts are accelerating Bitcoin adoption at the nation-state level.

Trace Mayer joins CK on All in Bitcoin to discuss the process of unlearning the lies that society, institutions, and mainstream economics have ingrained in us. They explore how studying Austrian economics, monetary history, and the works of Mises and Rothbard prepared Trace to recognize Bitcoin's significance early on. The conversation covers independent thinking, questioning authority and banks, lowering time preference, the importance of intellectual nutrition over media junk food, and how personal responsibility and censorship-resistance are essential in an era of mass psychosis and financial repression.

Trace Mayer joins Allen Helm to discuss the evolution from gold to Bitcoin, drawing on his law school research into the history of money in American law and his early involvement with GATA, the Gold Antitrust Action Committee. He explores how the Constitution originally defined the dollar in terms of silver and gold, the central bank gold price suppression scheme, and why Bitcoin's strict digital scarcity and low verification costs make it a superior tool for monetary sovereignty. The conversation spans Bitcoin's seven network effects, the innovations behind cold storage and seed phrases at Armory, the role of gold and Bitcoin as geopolitical assets, and why Trace sees both as essential checks and balances in the political machinery.
