May 18, 2026Bitcoin Kidnappings, AI Slop, Quantum FUD, and Memetic Warfare | coinjoined Chris
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker sits down with coinjoined Chris for a wide-ranging conversation covering Bitcoin security, privacy, memes, AI propaganda, self-custody, and the future of freedom tech. They discuss the rise in violent “$5 wrench attacks” against Bitcoiners, operational security best practices, and why privacy tools and self-custody matter more than ever in an increasingly surveilled world.
They also dive deep into Bitcoin scaling debates, covenant proposals, quantum computing fears, and whether Bitcoin should continue evolving or ossify over time. Along the way, they explore AI-generated media, the changing culture of Bitcoin, the rise of institutional “Suitcoiners,” and why memes remain one of the most powerful forms of modern propaganda.
The conversation closes with reflections on sovereignty, CBDCs, the future of money, and a philosophical speed round on plebs, voting, podcasts, and the fall of Rome.

May 14, 2026QUANTIFYING THE VIBES: Bitcoin Sentiment Analysis, Memes, and Fiction | Michael Sullivan
In this episode, I sit down with Michael Sullivan, author of Blood of the Bourgeoisie, to explore his groundbreaking Bitcoin sentiment analysis work that goes far beyond the fear and greed index, tracking individual high-signal Bitcoiners' language at a granularity most hedge funds only use behind closed doors. We also go deep on Blood of the Bourgeoisie, the Bitcoin thriller I had the honor of narrating, which captures the inner conflict every Bitcoiner knows between wanting to burn the system down and finding the more constructive path forward. The conversation dives into language, narrative formation, Bitcoin culture, the psychology of markets, AI-assisted creativity, and the tension many Bitcoiners feel between revolutionary anger and peaceful opt-out through freedom technology.

May 11, 2026NUMBER GO DOWN: Deflation, Bitcoin, and Communist Lies | Allen Farrington
Allen Farrington returns to THE Bitcoin Podcast to discuss his latest essay “Number Go Down,” the myths surrounding deflation, why fiat economics gets causation backwards, and how inflationary monetary systems distort society itself.
Walker and Allen explore the “paradox of thrift,” why central banking is fundamentally incompatible with free markets, and how fiat money fuels wealth inequality while convincing people capitalism is to blame. They also dive into socialism, Bitcoin as a savings technology, lowering time preference, and the future of Bitcoin scaling technologies like Lightning and ARK.
The conversation also covers Bitcoin Is Venice, the upcoming second edition of the book, and why Bitcoin adoption may happen not through ideology — but through people slowly rediscovering common sense.

May 07, 2026Bitcoin, America, and Why Socialism Always Fails | Josh Hendrickson
In this episode, I sat down with Josh Hendrickson, BPI Senior Fellow and Chair of Economics at the University of Mississippi, to dig into the uncomfortable truth that Bitcoin's success has made political engagement unavoidable, not optional. We covered why the normalization of socialist ideas in America is both predictable and dangerous, why the "just leave me alone" mentality always loses to those who refuse to leave you alone, and how the proof-of-work ethos connects Bitcoin's rabbit hole to the kind of first-principles thinking America desperately needs right now.

April 23, 2026Bitcoin Bears vs Reality: Market Pain, Bottom Signals & What Comes Next | James Check (Checkmate)
Why does everything feel harder right now—and why does Bitcoin feel so frustrating at the same time?
In this episode, I sit down with James Check (Checkmate) to break down the reality behind the “cost of living” crisis, why the system no longer seems to work for younger generations, and what Bitcoin is telling us about where we are in the market cycle.
We explore the deeper forces driving rising costs, inequality, and financial stress—before diving into Bitcoin’s current phase: who’s actually selling, who’s buying, and whether this painful stretch is setting up the next move.
If it feels like the math doesn’t add up anymore, this conversation explains why.

March 30, 2026Bitcoin Needs a Crisis | Rob Wallace
Rob Wallace from Bitcoin News is not your typical Bitcoiner, this is a guy who spent four years living in Shanghai, bought his first 2.2 bitcoin at an ATM in 2016… only to have them stolen at a Las Vegas airport. We cover the macro chaos unfolding around us, why Eastern Europe might be civilization's last immune system, and what the Fourth Turning actually looks like from the inside. We dig deep into the corporate Bitcoin treasury mania: who's holding the line and who already blinked. Mainly, we discuss why the next wave of bitcoin adoption will come from a crisis.

March 13, 2026Bitcoin Spam is Bad. So is BIP-110 | Giacomo Zucco
Giacomo Zucco joins Walker America to discuss Bitcoin spam, ordinals, inscriptions, Bitcoin Core, Core v30 / OP_RETURN, Knots, and why he thinks the BIP-110 soft fork will fail—and why that’s a problem. They break down the technical and political fight over spam filtering, consensus changes, and the future of Bitcoin nodes. Zucco argues that while spam is real, BIP-110 is the wrong solution—and its failure could damage the movement trying to fight it.
Key Topics:
• Plan B Lugano + the rise of Cypher Tank
• Is Bitcoin Core compromised?
• Bitcoin spam vs censorship: where’s the line?
• Core v30 vs Knots: what’s really happening?
• Why Giacomo thinks BIP-110 will fail
• Would BIP-110 actually fix Bitcoin spam?
• Ordinals and inscriptions
• Should Bitcoin change consensus rules to fight spam?
• Why Giacomo believes Layer 2s—not forks—solve the problem
• What happens to Bitcoin if BIP-110 fails?

March 09, 2026Nostr + Bitcoin vs AI Slop: The Fight for a Human Internet | Paul Keating
Walker sits down with Paul Keating from Primal to talk about where Nostr is three years after Nostrica, why adoption has been slower than the early hype suggested, and why that may have been a good thing. They explore Primal’s vision, creator onboarding, Bitcoin zaps as a native internet business model, circular Bitcoin economies like Bitcoin Jungle, the coming wave of Nostr apps that hide the protocol from end users, and why human-first, sovereignty-preserving social tools matter more than ever in an age of AI slop, algorithmic addiction, and centralized digital identity.
Key topics discussed
How Nostr has matured since Nostrica and why the ecosystem is stronger now than during the first hype wave
Primal’s roadmap, including polls, better creator tooling, smoother onboarding, and a broader vision for healthier social media
Why Bitcoin zaps and Nostr create a fundamentally better creator economy than legacy platforms or “Web3” token schemes
The real-world circular Bitcoin economy in Bitcoin Jungle and what it shows about living on a Bitcoin standard
Why Nostr may become increasingly important as AI-generated slop, censorship, surveillance, and centralized identity systems accelerate
DiVine vs AI Slop: Using proof-of-human posting to fight the rise of AI-generated content online.

March 06, 2026Why Bitcoin Didn’t Go Parabolic (And What Comes Next) | Rational Root
Walker sits down with Rational Root for a deep dive into Bitcoin’s current market structure, bear market vibes, and why this cycle has felt so different, and whether the four-year cycle is still intact. Root argues Bitcoin is in a bear market phase, explains why institutional adoption and ETF flows created a more distributed top instead of a classic parabolic blow-off, and lays out why the next few months may look more like bottom formation than immediate breakout. They discuss the role of long-term holder distribution, why 100k became such a major psychological level, how business cycles and halving cycles interact, and why Bitcoin remains massively bullish long term even if price chops lower in the near term.
Five key topics we discuss
Why Rational Root believes Bitcoin is currently in a bear market, not just a mid-cycle dip
How ETF flows, OTC buying, and institutional adoption changed this cycle’s price action
Why 100k became a major psychological sell zone for long-term holders and OG whales
Whether the four-year cycle is still alive, and how much of it is really driven by the broader business/liquidity cycle
Why Root remains extremely bullish long term even while expecting more chop and possible downside in the near term

March 03, 2026Vibe Coding the Bitcoin Future: Nostr, AI Agents & Clawstr | Derek Ross and Alex Gleason
Walker goes live on Nostr with Alex Gleason (Soapbox) and Derek Ross to talk about the new AI + Nostr builder renaissance: why Nostr beats federated “decentralization”, how Alex accidentally ended up helping build Truth Social off the Mastodon stack, and why AI-first, permissionless app building is exploding. They break down Soapbox’s suite—Shakespeare (in-browser AI app builder), Agora (activist coordination + anti-blackout tooling), Treasures.to (real-world geocaching), plus the agent economy experiments: OpenClaw, Quilly, Moltbook, and Clawstr—where bots post, zap, and evolve personalities. They also dig into BitChat, Cashu, and more. The big takeaway: the barrier to building is basically gone—stop watching and start shipping.
