Episodes
Could the U.S. really put Bitcoin on its balance sheet?
In this episode, we explore what it would actually mean for the U.S. to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset — and what the ripple effects could be.
Would it back the dollar with Bitcoin, or simply hold BTC like it does gold?
Could the Federal Reserve still manage interest rates and respond to crises?
Would such a move restore...
Exit scenarios, vulnerabilities, and honest critique.
Bitcoin is often described as unstoppable. Immutable. Revolutionary.
But what if it isn’t?
In this episode, we explore the uncomfortable possibilities:
Could Bitcoin be co-opted by the very institutions it set out to disrupt?
Could it be broken by bugs, quantum computing, or internal fractures?
Could it simply be outcompeted by somet...
How Bitcoin might reshape labor and employment
In a world where banks aren’t the gatekeepers and borders don’t define your paycheck, what does “work” even mean? In Part 14, we dive into the intersection of Bitcoin and the future of labor.
What does it mean to get paid in Bitcoin? Can decentralized tech like DAOs create new jobs, new economies, or even a ...
Adoption in emerging economies.
While Bitcoin adoption in the West is driven by investment, speculation, and ideology in the Global South, it’s driven by necessity.
In this episode, we explore why countries like Nigeria, Argentina, and El Salvador are becoming hotspots for Bitcoin use. From hyperinflation and currency controls to remittances and digital inclusion, we unpack t...
Regulation, taxation, and central bank responses.
Bitcoin was designed to exist outside of government control—but that doesn’t mean governments will sit back and do nothing.
In this episode, we explore the ways places around the world are already trying to regulate, restrict, co-opt, and control Bitcoin. From surveillance laws and licensing schemes to censorshi...
The toxicity, purity tests, and political divides within Bitcoin.
Bitcoin isn’t just a technology, it’s become a battleground. And in this episode, we explore how Bitcoin has been pulled into the heart of modern culture wars. Where ideology, identity, and influence clash over what this technology means, and who it’s for.
We unpack how Bitcoin has been co-opted, championed, misund...
Surveillance, privacy, and digital freedom.
Is Bitcoin really anonymous — or just pseudonymous? In Part 10 of The Bitcoin Series, we dive deep into the truth about Bitcoin’s privacy. We unpack tools like CoinJoin and the Lightning Network, and explore the growing tension between financial freedom and increasing surveillance.
In a world of KYC, digital IDs, and CBDCs on the ris...
Energy, sustainability, and the climate.
In this episode, we dive into one of the most controversial debates in the Bitcoin world: energy. Is Bitcoin’s proof-of-work model a dangerous climate liability — or a misunderstood feature that could actually accelerate the renewable transition?
We explore:
- Whether Bitcoin's energy use is wasteful or purposeful
- How it compare...
Women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, & civil liberties.
In this episode, we explore one of the most important—and misunderstood—questions surrounding Bitcoin: Can it actually protect human rights and civil liberties? From censorship resistance and financial access to political dissent and surveillance, we break down how Bitcoin is being used around the world...
The scenario-based “what if” episode.
What if we didn’t just adopt Bitcoin as an asset… but as the foundation of our financial system? In this episode, we explore what a real-world transition might look like — from pensions and 401(k)s, to mortgages, debt, and public infrastructure. Would it be chaotic or orderly? Who wins, who loses, and what gets ...
Accessibility, education, digital literacy, and the social barriers to adoption.
Bitcoin promises freedom, transparency, and financial empowerment — but is that dream accessible to everyone, or just those already on the inside? In this episode, we explore the human cost of exclusion in the Bitcoin world: who’s being left behind, why access still depends on privilege, and...
The ethics around early adoption & fairness - wealth in markets vs. actual, usable value.
In Part 5 of The Bitcoin Series, we confront a harder, more human question: if Bitcoin is the solution to our broken system... will it just build another one? One where early adopters become new elites? One ...
The fear of pump & dumps, social media influence, and shadow manipulation.
In this episode we discuss is Bitcoin really a break from the old system — or just Wall Street with a hoodie? In Part 4, we dive deep into Bitcoin’s wild swings, the influence of whales, and the uncomfortable truth about price manipulation in an open market. We...
In this episode we tackle one of the toughest questions yet: Can Bitcoin actually shift power away from the wealthy and make influence more democratic?
We dive into campaign finance, dark money, and the subtle ways wealth shapes culture and politics — even in a decentralized world. Can Bitcoin make elections more transparent? Could it limit big donors? Or will powerfu...
In this episode, we dig into some of the most important — and most uncomfortable — questions about Bitcoin with moral tension between decentralization and the public good:
If governments can’t print money, how do we fund education, healthcare, infrastructure?
How would a decentralized system support those who fall behind?
Can decentralization actually sca...
In this premiere episode of The Bitcoin Series, I take a step back from the hype and headlines to ask the deeper question:
Is Bitcoin really a solution — or just a new system with the same problems?
This episode explores the idea of Bitcoin as policy-agnostic, how it operates outside traditional politics and economics, and what that actually means in a world full of corruption, ...
