“The reason it goes up is because you get to seller exhaustion. No one wants to sell anymore.” Checkmate is a Bitcoin analyst and founder of Checkonchain.

“The people who are truly productive are going to be on a rocket ship.” AI is about to split society in two: those who learn to command it and those whose value it destroys. Zack Shapiro, Head of Policy at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, explains why AI could dismantle the traditional white-collar career ladder while creating millions of millionaires.

“The companies are bubbles, but I don’t think the technology is a bubble.” Luke Gromen is back on the show to explain why the debt-fuelled AI boom may have become too big to fail, why slowing investment and valuations could threaten the wider financial system, and how even a small move from the Fed could trigger the unwind. Luke also explains why he still hasn’t bought back most of the Bitcoin he…
“This is as code red as it can get for Bitcoin self-custody.” Rob Hamilton joins me for an emergency episode on the catastrophic Coldcard entropy bug that has exposed Bitcoin held in wallets generated on affected firmware. A firmware change introduced in 2021 prevented Coldcard devices from generating the level of randomness users believed they were getting. The result is that attackers may be…

“We don’t need a new narrative. We just need to buy the bear, turn it around and smash it.” Cory Klippsten is back on the show to explain why Bitcoin’s last bull market failed to deliver, why institutional adoption created weak hands rather than conviction, and why the next major move depends on bringing a new wave of people into Bitcoin.
