THE Bitcoin Podcast

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 c...

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 t...

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, an...

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 str...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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 toolin...

Lyn Alden is back on THE Bitcoin Podcast to break down why this cycle left so many of us feeling like we should be more excited than we are. We get into why $126K, despite being a new all-time high, fell short of what the fundamentals suggested was possible, and what that tells us about where retail and sovereign demand actually stands. We also dig into the macro picture, the Fed, the new chair, Bitcoin vs Quantum narrative, AI as ...

Today, I sit down with Brandon Gentile, fellow Bitcoin content creator and homeschooling father, to talk about the war most people don't even know is being fought. We cover the late-stage fiat death spiral, multiple societal cycles converging all at once, why Max Pain is probably unavoidable, and why separating education from the state matters just as much as separating money from the state.

What's the biggest threat to Bitcoin? Is it Quantum? Developers? BIP110? Governments? Or something else entirely…

In this episode, I sit down with Bitcoin OG Jimmy Song for a nuanced conversation about the state of Bitcoin development and governance.

"The problem is that our beef industry is under attack and people don't realize that."

In this episode of The Bitcoin Podcast, host Walker America sits down with Tom Taber, Executive Director of The Beef Initiative, to expose what they argue is a deeply broken, centralized, and captured beef industry — and to explain why food sovereignty may be as important as monetary sovereignty.

Tom breaks down how government subsidies, USDA reg...

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America speaks with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo about Venezuela’s economic collapse, the Chaves and Maduro regimes, life under socialism, wh...

"Right now, all you have to worry about is how are you going to stack more corn? Because while everyone else is freaking out, you have an opportunity."

This is episode two of BITCOIN AFTER DARK. These episodes are originally live streamed as "emergency broadcasts" and I figured I might as well put them out as regular episodes.
