"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.

"You can't put all your eggs in one basket. You can't have one citizenship as a Bitcoiner. You must have a hedge in place."
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down with Katie Ananina, founder of Plan B Passport and now with CitizenX, to explore how Bitcoiners can secure their sovereignty by stacking second passports, leveraging flag theory, and opting out of failing nation-states.
Katie shares her incredible journey from pro athlete in post-Soviet Russia to U.S. immigrant, entrepreneur, and Bitcoin pioneer. She breaks down the sovereign individual thesis, the rise of Bitcoin citizenship programs like El Salvador’s, and why jurisdictions like Serbia, Argentina, and the Caribbean are leading the charge.

"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.
They dive deep into how AnchorWatch is revolutionizing Bitcoin custody through its insured multi-sig Trident Vault, using MiniScript to blend cryptographic guarantees with traditional Lloyd’s of London insurance.

You’ll learn:
• Why AnchorWatch created a Bitcoin-native insurance layer
• How their recovery layer ensures foolproof inheritance for families
• Why ransomware and wrench attacks are rising—and how AnchorWatch defends against them
• The difference between K&R insurance and standard Bitcoin loss coverage

“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?

"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.

"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. They also discuss the overall UK political landscape and the rise of Reform Party, CBDCs, Government debt and economic collapse, and Bitcoin as a solution to current economic problems in the UK and around the world.

"You wouldn't buy a hundred dollars safe off of Amazon and put a million dollars in it. But that's kind of what Bitcoiners are doing with their hardware wallets."
On this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Erik Cason and Jesse Posner, founders of Vora, join Walker to discuss Bitcoin self-sovereignty, privacy, and security in the age of hyperbitcoinization. They explore how Vora’s decentralized cryptographic key storage and advanced privacy tools—like zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments—are designed to empower Bitcoiners with true custody, physical protection, and credible deterrence from $5 wrench attacks to 6102 events. The conversation ties American constitutional values and the castle doctrine to Bitcoin’s rise, critiques fiat systems and TradFi narratives, and envisions a future where Bitcoiners own their safety, privacy, and freedom in a post-fiat world.
