My Bags Are Big - TIbor Fischer
Tibor Fischer’s My Bags Are Big – a legit, award-winning novelist (Under the Frog, one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists) who just dropped a sharp, funniest, most atmospheric Bitcoin novel. It reads like the screenplay to a Guy Ritchie movie. Quirky characters, weaving and odd stories, and a sometimes-cynical yet ultimately optimistic philosophical bend. And underneath is what you'd expecting from one of the most accomplished authors of a generation - a bunch of great lines. Read it. Do something other than pontifiate on price. Life is passing you by.

Resistance Money (Andrew M. Bailey, Bradley Rettler, and Craig Warmke)
We unpack Bitcoin as true resistance money — the tool that cuts out managers, mediators, and makers (banks, payment rails, central banks) who surveil, control, and manipulate. No more outsourcing your life to third parties whose incentives aren’t yours. We go deep on the cypherpunk vision. The veil of ignorance (and why Grant pushes back hard), sour grapes bias, what Bitcoin actually is as a social good, and why even the powerful might secretly want this unseizable money in the long run. Plus steelman rebuttals to “not backed,” “unfair distribution,” and “extremist” attacks.This book is elite.

Finding Satoshi
Watch the doc. Then watch this pod. You’ll come away less obsessed with “who” Satoshi was… and far more inspired to become the kind of person who could have been.“Revolutionaries don’t get to stick around and enjoy the fruits. Sometimes the revolution needs them gone.” New here? Subscribe for more unfiltered Bitcoin philosophy, documentary breakdowns, and wayfaring-man energy. The lodges are open — come tinker with us.

Crypto-Current: Bitcoin and Philosophy
If you’re tired of surface-level Bitcoin talk and ready for the red-pill layers most people never reach, hit play. Nick Land’s first pass is better than most people’s final draft — and this conversation might just be your gateway drug to acceleration, teleological thinking, and first-tier Bitcoin optimism. New here? Subscribe for more unfiltered explorations of Bitcoin as civilizational software. Follow Grant and Lucas as they chase the edge.

A Lodging of Wayfaring Men (Paul Rosenberg)
Lucas & Grant rip through A Lodging of Wayfaring Men by Paul Rosenberg — the forgotten 2002 banger that reads like a blueprint for Satoshi, Silk Road, network states, and the entire freedom tech revolution. A ragtag crew of scientists, hackers, and rebels builds Gamma: an encrypted peer-to-peer marketplace + digital money that the state can’t control. They launch “Breakers” to flush fear from your brain. They create the Free Souls House — a nomadic micro-nation of doers. And they walk away once it’s truly decentralized… sound familiar? It’s prophecy. Taxation as theft, trust to build trustless systems, biohacking before it was cool, and the raw tension of bootstrapping freedom while the feds close in.If you want to understand why Bitcoin actually happened — and what’s coming next — check this out.

Softwar Claims: Beyond Money, Hedge, and Energy (M. Carvalho)
Mauricio Carvalho recently published "Beyond Money, Hedge, and Energy: Evaluating Bitcoin as Power Projection Technology" as an evaluation of the claims made by Jason Lowery's Softwar thesis. Where do we stand? This paper is an empirical evaluation of nine falsifiable predictions. In just three years, five have been confirmed and one partially realized. The future is Softwar.

Erik Cason's "CryptoSovereignty"
Bitcoin is political philosophy. Freedom, manifest in code. Erik Cason's sharp observations plunge the sword of sovereignty deep in the heart of the monster. Without the ability to control money, the state cannot control the people. We should all rejoice. Aren't we all people? Is not control both a burden on the oppressed and the oppressor? The virtuous cycle has begun. We are no longer on opposite sides, competing for fleeting rewards soon lost to the scourge of inflation. We have entered a new age of collaboration. Citizen need no longer compete to ascend the hierarchy of domination within the state. The states will now compete to draw the most productive and useful citizens.

The Question Concerning Technology
The Question Concerning Technology (ep #067) This is not a "number go up" conversation. It's about how technology shapes your soul. @Erikcason gets it. And he kindly offers you the same path he took. In prepping for our conversation on Cason's "Cryptosovereignty", we found he'd left a homework assignment: read Martin Heidegger's "The Question Concerning Technology" for context. Dutifully, we obliged. And what came of it? Heidegger's contribution is impactful. He offers…perspective…on our perspective. Grant squares it: • Enframing 🧠 • Tech as revealing (not neutral) • Ancient techne vs modern extraction • Whether Bitcoin breaks the spell or deepens it Lucas knods and rubs his chin. Deep thoughts…deep thoughts. share with friends, and consider us yours. we're all in this together!
