July 31, 2025PAPER BITCOIN SUMMER: THE TRUTH ABOUT BITCOIN TREASURY COMPANIES | Steven Lubka
"Bitcoin capturing everything means Bitcoin has to capture the securities market."
In this powerful and wide-ranging episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, host Walker America is joined by Steven Lubka — founder of Vibes Capital Management and VP of Investor Relations at Nakamoto — for a high-signal conversation on Bitcoin treasury companies, paper Bitcoin summer, and how institutional financial engineering is accelerating Bitcoin adoption. They unpack what “paper Bitcoin summer” really means, why Bitcoin-focused public companies are not scams, and how financial tools like equity, preferred shares, and corporate debt are being leveraged in a speculative attack on fiat.
Steven shares why these companies are not just “paper” proxies but key infrastructure for integrating Bitcoin into global capital markets — especially for institutions and jurisdictions where holding spot Bitcoin is not feasible. He breaks down the MNAV premium, the rise of MetaPlanet, and how Nakamoto is building the future of Bitcoin financial infrastructure. Plus, they riff on walking in the sun, health as proof-of-work, OTC misconceptions, ETH copycats, and why Sailor’s open-source playbook changed the game forever.

July 07, 2025 BITCOIN INSURANCE, WRENCH ATTACKS, KIDNAPPING & RANSOM, & INHERITANCE SECURITY | Becca Rubenfeld
"Ultimately we determined that the only true solution–TRUE solution–to a wrench attack is insurance."
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, host Walker America sits down with Becca Rubenfeld, co-founder of AnchorWatch, for a conversation on the future of Bitcoin insurance, self-custody security, and wrench attack protection.

July 03, 2025 BITCOIN MINING: MISCONCEPTIONS, NATION STATES, CENTRALIZATION & QUANTUM RISK, & FREEDOM TO TRANSACT
“The right to transact actually precedes all other rights. I hope the Bitcoin community engages in what I think is actually the most important fight that we could possibly wage, is to get inserted into the Bill of Rights of freedom to transact.”
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, host Walker America sits down with Kent Halliburton, co-founder of Sazmining, for an eye-opening conversation on Bitcoin mining, KYC-free sats, the future of Bitcoin policy, and why wild sats are the ultimate form of financial freedom.
Kent shares his orange-pill journey from rooftop solar to building a mining-as-a-service company that empowers everyday Bitcoiners to mine real, untouched, surveillance-free Bitcoin—without the noise, hassle, or KYC. We dive deep into:
🛠 Mining Misconceptions: Why most Bitcoiners misunderstand ROI, capex, and mining economics—and how Sazmining simplifies it all
🌍 Bitcoin Policy & Double Taxation: Why DC is still clueless, and how Bitcoiners are the intransigent minority reshaping politics
💥 Wild Sats vs. Surveillance Sats: Why mining your own Bitcoin restores privacy and boosts circular economy adoption
⚡ Renewables & Energy FUD: How Bitcoin mining is actually saving the planet by monetizing wasted and renewable energy
⛏️ Mining Pool Centralization: Why Ocean, Stratum V2, and decentralizing block template construction are critical for Bitcoin’s future
🔐 Quantum Threats: Are they real? And is Bitcoin ready?

June 24, 2025 BITCOIN ADOPTION, SELF-CUSTODY, ECASH & FIGHTING STATE CONTROL | Evan Kaloudis of Zeus
"I think if Bitcoin stays where it's at with the small community it has and it's just used as it is now–store value, ETFs, shiny rock under the bed, gold 2.0–I'll consider it a colossal failure. So we need to build out these circular economies and make sure Bitcoin gets used for commerce everywhere."
In this episode of the Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America talks with Evan Kaloudis, founder of Zeus, to discuss Bitcoin adoption, improving UX, orange pilling struggles, merchant adoption, self-custody, the Lightning Network, eCash (Cashu), CBDCs, resisting state overreach, and the future of Bitcoin development. They also discuss how Evan kept developing Zeus in the USA, even when other companies were leaving the country and cutting off access for Americans.

June 20, 2025 POLITICAL EVOLUTION & BITCOIN POLICY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM | Freddie New
"Bitcoin is both a top down movement and a bottom up movement. So individual people realizing the government isn't going to come and save them and preserving their wealth in Bitcoin is a valid and valuable thing that you can do, but at the same time, we should also engage with our elected representatives and try and educate them to understand the same thing."
On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America interviews Freddie New, CHIEF POLICY OFFICER & CO-FOUNDER of Bitcoin Policy UK, about Bitcoin adoption, policy, and the current political climate in the UK.
