This week’s episode dives deep into Bitcoin’s ongoing evolution amid technical governance debates, growing privacy challenges, significant institutional accumulation, and shifting market dynamics. We explore the ramifications of the Samourai Wallet developers’ sentencing, Michael Saylor’s provocative quantum-era proposals, and the expanding role of banks in Bitcoin’s ecosystem. Drawing on insights from diverse podcasts, we connect threads between protocol governance, market behavior, global adoption, and the cultural transformation Bitcoin continues to inspire. The conversation culminates in an extended analysis of Bitcoin’s governance war over lost coin freezing and what that reveals about its future security and ideological path. Featuring content from .
