THE Bitcoin Podcast

“All of us matter because we are Bitcoin. We're defending it. We're building the path forward so it's used as a medium of exchange. We are the network.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Jeff Booth and Uncle Rockstar. This was an impromptu Nostr-only live stream and if you want to watch this show live, you can only do that on Nostr. It’s also the first time Rockstar and Jeff have ever done a recorded conversation together, and I’m honored that I was able to host it because I respect the heck out of both of these guys. We get into a lot in this episode including number go up vs freedom go up, bitcoin repricing the world, inflation vs deflation, open source development, how to start living in a bitcoin world RIGHT NOW, life philosophy and a whole lot more.

A BUNCH OF CRAZY BITCOINERS RANTING FOR TWO HOURS WHILE DRINKING HEAVILY.

Today’s episode is Titcoin Talk, where I bring together friends for an impromptu livestream on Nostr and talk about whatever the heck we feel like. Today, those guests are my wife, Carla, and my friends Derek Ross and Tatum Turnup. We also had the one and only Uncle Rockstar surprise us by joining, and even taking his shirt off after a few minutes. We talk about Nostr, about Bitcoin, about video games, about life, about love, and a whole lot more. Mainly, we just shoot the shit and have a lot of fun.

"Fuck this fiat bullshit, fuck CBDCs... it's time for us to really start rebuilding in a meaningful and thoughtful way on top of a Bitcoin standard because that's really an American standard."

"My view for the future is that the way that we keep podcasting open and protect the precious medium that we have is to help podcasters get paid with this open payment protocol called Lightning. And also now with Nostr to help listeners and podcasters and whoever's interested in podcasts to share episodes, discover new episodes, have conversations around episodes without that being locked to any one app or platform or service."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks Oscar Merry, founder of Fountain Podcasting. We talk about Podcasting 2.0, Fountain integrating Nostr, Bitcoin, Lightning, value for value, the future of decentralized media, and a whole lot more.

“The best beefsteak course is the one that speaks to your tongue."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks Awayslice, AKA "The Beefsteak Guy." Awayslice's Beefsteak events are truly legendary, and he’s managed to create an incredible culture around getting people together to eat meat cooked over an open fire with their bare hands. We get into a lot today including the origin of beefsteak, beef, food in general, building community, whether AI will take chef’s jobs, art vs craftsmanship, hosting events and vibe curation, the effects of social media, and a whole lot more.

“It's not just Suriname… It's a chance to have Bitcoin be the unit of account. It's a chance to actually separate money from State.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Suriname Presidential Candidate Maya Parbhoe. Maya is a Bitcoiner and an entrepreneur first, and a politician second. We dig into a lot in this talk including her plans to make Bitcoin legal tender on day one, her vision for the future of Suriname, political corruption, government control, radical transparency, grassroots bitcoin adoption, why it is her goal to make herself, as the president, irrelevant, and a whole lot more. It is truly inspiring to see young, smart, and optimistic people like Maya running for political office.

"We need to go back to the basic problem is that there is no climate crisis. It's all a crock and nothing that we do. None of this control, all of this money spent, none of it's gonna prevent any bad weather at all in 2075 or ever."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Tom Nelson. Tom is a climate and energy realist, and producer of “Climate: The Movie.” Tom and I get into a bunch of rabbit holes today from the climate narrative, to government control and CBDCs, subsidies creating market distortions, the intellectual elites and their role in pushing government narratives, energy, human flourishing, bitcoin mining, and a whole lot more.

“The thing that you keep in mind while you're stacking sats is, have a dream. I have dreams. I want to accomplish these dreams. And that's what you're working for. We now have a way to save our value and not have it be stolen from us.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with SAT, AKA Lightning Goats. I met Sat through Nostr because I stumbled upon his awesome project where he live streams his goats from his off-the-grid homestead and whenever you zap bitcoin to the goats’ lightning address it automatically feeds them.

“The great thing about technological innovation like Bitcoin is that regardless of what people are able to do about their local politicians or central banks, they can opt in and use Bitcoin. That is now available to 8 billion people, and that's going to change the world.”

“The wave hasn't even come… we're just kind of like on the beach and the wave's kind of creeping up, but it's still so much liquidity that's going to come in.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Sam Callahan. Sam is a macro analyst who recently worked on a report with Lyn Alden called Bitcoin: A Global Liquidity Barometer, and we dig deep into this report today. But we also get into the next wave of Bitcoin adoption, the shifting Overton window around bitcoin, the US and global macro environment, fiscal dominance, fiat debasement, whether anything stops this train, the ponzi scheme of social security, and a whole lot more. Sam also just got married this weekend providing that while Bitcoin doesn’t help get you a girlfriend, it can help you find a wife.
