Chat_139 - TheGuySwann On the porch [RobbieTheFire]
Confirmed 6

In this re-release episode from "Run Your Mouth" with RobbieTheFire, we delve into the intricate world of economics, exploring the challenges posed by the US dollar's status as a global reserve currency. Robbie and I discuss the complexities of tariffs and their impact on the economy, questioning whether they truly address the underlying issues or merely mask symptoms.

The conversation naturally ventures into the realm of Bitcoin, pondering its potential role in reshaping our financial landscape - could it be the catalyst for a new economic paradigm?

A special thank you to RobbieTheFire and his team for allowing us to share this thought-provoking episode.

When authoritarian regimes double down on financial surveillance and criminalize basic crypto activity, can new freedom tech offer a lifeline—or is the deck still stacked against dissent, privacy, and financial autonomy? We dive into the latest Financial Freedom Report, unraveling Hungary’s draconian digital asset laws, El Salvador’s murky Bitcoin policies, and cutting-edge tools like Bitchat and Alby Hub.

Guy's Roundtable_011 - Treasuries, Politics, Quantum & Why This Cycle is Different
3

Why does this Bitcoin cycle feel… different?

In this Roundtable, I sat down with Simple Steve, Bitcoin Mechanic, and my brother Jeff Swann for a deep dive into what’s really driving the current phase of Bitcoin adoption. We break down the quiet buildup behind this cycle, the politics creeping into the space, and the shifting nature of Bitcoin treasuries — including why some are already failing. We also get into the weeds on quantum breakthroughs, dust limits, and why lightning still isn’t ready for prime time. From barroom stories to technical debates, we ask: Are the normies finally coming around? Are the devs out of touch? And is this cycle the calm before the chaos?

This is our one-year Roundtable anniversary. Let's go!

Read_894 - The parental dead end of consent morality
2

"A myopic focus on personal freedom — the nights out, the "me time", the money saved — is a spiritual mirage: You think you want the paradise of nothing ever being asked of you, but it turns out to be the hell of nobody ever needing you."
~ David Heinemeier Hansson

What if the relentless pursuit of personal freedom is leading us to a deeper kind of emptiness? Today we dive into David Heinemeier Hansson's short but engaging essay on "consent morality" and the modern crisis of meaning, asking: Are we neglecting the richness of responsibility, family, and higher values in favor of allowing ourselves to accept the ridiculous notion that as long as we aren't hurting anyone, all ways of living are equal. And worse, that to even suggest otherwise, that there is a "better" way to live, makes one a bigot. Instead of cowering from the challenge, let's address it directly.

Read_893 - Building a Local Network with your Neighbors
2

"Privacy is not a bunker. It’s not cutting every wire, ghosting every friend, and hoping the grid forgets you exist. That’s fantasy. Romanticized exile for people who don’t understand surveillance capitalism. The truth is simpler and harder."
~ GHOST

What if privacy isn’t about isolation—but about trust? Today we dig into a short but powerful perspective by _Ghost_ that flips the script on the often imagined but false idea of a "romanticized exile." Where sovereignty is somehow manifest by living isolated from society, trusting nothing and no one. Instead we explore why building small, local, high-trust networks—digital or physical—isn’t just practical, it’s essential. And how a handful of dedicated people can change the world, one shared tool at a time.

Chat_137 - The Natural State of Fiat is Dictatorship with Daniel Batten
2

"Either you don't have a fiat currency or you don't have a democracy. But the two things together, and this has been proven, cannot coexist happily without the complete erosion of purchasing power of a civilization and the complete erosion of an empire - which is exactly what has occurred and what has occurred throughout history.
The natural bedfellow for a fiat economy is a dictatorship.
The natural bedfellow for bitcoin is democracy."
~ Daniel Batten

In this episode I sat down with Daniel Batten, who discovered Bitcoin's environmental benefits before grasping its economic power, and his journey reveals something profound about the nature of fiat money itself.

How did we become trapped in a desire-based economy that rewards consumption over saving? Daniel traces this back to the 1920s propaganda campaigns that transformed capitalism from meeting needs to manufacturing wants—and explains why Bitcoin might be the antidote to a century of psychological manipulation. But here's what really caught my attention: if the natural state of fiat is dictatorship, what does that mean for small nations trying to maintain sovereignty?

From Bhutan's quiet accumulation of Bitcoin worth nearly half their GDP to Pakistan's strategic pivot away from IMF dependency, we're witnessing a fundamental shift in global power structures. Are we watching the end of financial colonialism? And could Bitcoin mining on landfills actually turn the waste of Western civilization into the foundation for sound money? This conversation will change how you think about money, consumption, and what it really means to fix the incentives.

Read_892 - Not ECDSA. Not Schnorr. Meet DahLIAS.

Human innovation knows no limits, and our first assumptions regarding what is possible with the tools at our disposal, are almost invariably found to be wrong. Today we dive into Kiara Bickers’ piece on DahLIAS, a groundbreaking new signature scheme that could make massive gains in efficiency and privacy possible without changing Bitcoin’s core cryptographic curve. Is this the missing piece that finally aligns privacy with economic incentive? And if it is, what will it take to get it into Bitcoin?

Read_891 - The Rise of Bitcoin Stocks and Bonds
2

"In order for something to be used as ubiquitous money, the spender has to already have it, and the recipient has to want to hold it. Notably, people usually want to receive more of what they already have. After all, if a potential recipient wanted to hold it, they likely would have already bought some. So, if a new type of ubiquitous money were to arise, the majority of people would likely first encounter it as an investment."
~ Lyn Alden

If Bitcoin is freedom money, what happens when corporations and governments start buying it? Is it captured—or is that exactly what success looks like?

Lyn Alden’s new piece lays out the full arc of Bitcoin's monetization path, and I dig into her framing of situational vs. ubiquitous money. We talk leverage, ETFs, treasury strategies, and how Bitcoin is infiltrating the legacy financial system not despite its cypherpunk roots—but because of them.

Chat_136 – The Most Bullish Man in Bitcoin with Christian Keroles
2

If Bitcoin is a paradigm shift, it gets to that stage, like it will be an even bigger product than AI, than chat GPT. And like, okay, now imagine the world where not everyone's fighting Bitcoin, but everyone's like, holy shit, I want to start a Bitcoin business. Like I want like, I need to integrate Bitcoin to my business. I'm going to create a business about integrating Bitcoin into your business. You know, like that's coming if Bitcoin is a paradigm shift. I really don't think that anyone is bullish enough to like where this thing goes if it is what we say it is.
~ Christian Keroles

Christian Keroles (CK) returns to the show, and it’s probably the most bullish conversation we’ve had in years.

We dig into paradigm shifts, Bitcoin treasuries, and the explosion of freedom tech. CK shares the inside story of the Finney Freedom Prize, how HRF’s development fund is shaping the future, and why he believes we're not even close to understanding how big Bitcoin is going to get.

Is Bitcoin about to outscale AI? Are stablecoins just CBDCs in disguise? What happens when sovereign tools scale to billions? We wrestle with the cycles, the hype, and the hard questions - then get seriously bullish.

Sometimes a story isn't what it seems... and that's exactly what happened in Take_100.

In this follow-up, I revisit the mysterious movement of 80,000 Bitcoin and unravel the confusion sparked by a misleading legal message. I walk through the details I missed the first time, what changed my interpretation, and how easy it is to connect dots that don’t belong together.

This is a real-time lesson in don’t trust, verify — and why on-chain analysis can sometimes lead us astray if we’re not careful.

Take_101 - The 80,000 Bitcoin Mystery
2

Almost $9 Billion in Bitcoin just moved for the first time in 14 years, and it seems like the person who moved them, are not the original owners. Did quantum just break something in Bitcoin? Is there a critical exploit that old balances need to worry about in the cryptography or software for wallets?

Is this a major hack hiding behind apparent legitimacy? Or did someone who knows bitcoin well happen upon $9 billion in an old bitcoin wallet? Public declarations of abandonment, a legal defense team, hidden messages, secret codes, significant dates, and 80,000 bitcoin caught in the mix.

Let's take a dive, its time for a Guy's Take episode.

Today we are diving into the HRF’s Financial Freedom Report #77, exploring crackdowns on speech from El Salvador to Saudi Arabia, digital repression in Cuba and Iran, and the pivotal role that decentralized technologies like Bitcoin, Nostr, Pubky, the Pear stack, and others can play in the fight for liberty, in a world where you can be executed for what you posted on Twitter.
