I still believe we've got 100X in front of us in the next 10 years… Bitcoin becomes undeniable." Peter Dunworth is the co-founder of The Bitcoin Adviser. Bitcoin is at $62,500, down 50% from the all-time high, and sentiment is the worst it has ever been. So why is the most bullish man in Bitcoin calling this the best buying opportunity in history? We discuss why the bottom is closer than you think, why the next cycle breaks every model, the wall of AI money waiting to rotate into Bitcoin, how the Clarity Act turns the US dollar into a global stablecoin empire, the coming death of all fiat currencies and the 30% property crash heading for Australia. In this episode: Why this is the best buying opportunity in Bitcoin's history The case for 100X in the next 10 years Why the AI trade will rotate into Bitcoin The Clarity Act: a global dollar takeover Saylor, Strategy and the S&P500 double standard Why property is "near uninvestable" THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS: ANCHORWATCH BLOCKWARE LEDN BITKEY SWAN CAPE FOLLOW: Danny Knowles: https://x.com/_DannyKnowles or https://primal.net/danny Peter Dunworth: https://x.com/PeterBTCAdviser
"We are taught that the state builds our economy, but the reality is that every act of intervention is an act of wealth destruction." Max Hillebrand joins the show to tear down the Keynesian fallacies that keep us in a cycle of manufactured poverty and systemic theft. We go deep into the Austrian framework to explain why privacy isn't just a tech feature, it is the bedrock of a free economy. We discuss:\ The Theft Trap: Why taxation and inflation are definitionally coercion, and how they silently redistribute wealth from the productive to the state. \ The Broken Window Fallacy: Why building things we don’t need and destroying wealth through war is the ultimate economic delusion. \ The Consumption Trap: How state-manipulated metrics like GDP force us to prioritise over-consumption over the savings required for actual prosperity. \ The Minimum Wage Fallacy: A practical breakdown of why state interventions inevitably price the most vulnerable workers out of the market. \ The Cypherpunk Solution: Why increasing the cost of state attack and decreasing the cost of private defense is our only path to an unstoppable, parallel economy.

“In the end, it’s the economic majority of users who decide what Bitcoin is.” Wicked and MrHodl join the show to break down why BIP110 won’t change Bitcoin. We get into the fight over arbitrary data on Bitcoin, why they believe BIP110 fails to solve the problem it claims to address, and why miner signalling alone does not define consensus. The conversation covers Bitcoin Core, Knots, the blocksize war, SegWit, BIP148, spam, soft forks, hard forks, nodes, miners, exchanges, and the role of the economic majority in defending Bitcoin’s rules. Is BIP110 a serious proposal, a virtue signal, or an attempted replay of old battles? And if Bitcoin can be changed without broad consensus, what does that mean for decentralisation?

“We are in the digital gold rush to acquire as much Bitcoin as humanly possible.” Jeff Walton joins the show to break down the rise of Bitcoin-backed credit, Strive’s SATA instrument, and why perpetual preferred equity could become one of the most important capital market innovations in Bitcoin. We discuss why SATA is now paying daily dividends, how Strive thinks about risk, reserves, leverage, and Bitcoin coverage, and why these new credit instruments may become a structural buyer of Bitcoin through both bull and bear markets. We also get into Strategy’s role as the market leader, the shift away from convertible debt, the future of Bitcoin treasury companies, proof of reserves, custody risk, institutional adoption, and whether Bitcoin credit could eventually reprice the entire credit market.

“Whoever blinks first wins.” Mechanic joins me to discuss the controversial BIP110 proposal, the fight over spam and inscriptions, and whether Bitcoin users can force a consensus change without support from the major mining pools. We get into miner power, node enforcement, UASF game theory, soft forks, and whether Bitcoin is drifting away from its original purpose as money. Mechanic argues that Bitcoin’s strength comes from ordinary users enforcing the rules, not corporations, exchanges, or miners.

“Trust the process. The money will be printed.” Arthur Hayes returns to the show to explain why he believes the Bitcoin bull market is back on, and why the next move higher will once again be driven by global liquidity. In this episode, we discuss why war, AI, supply chain fragility, rising bond market stress, and political incentives all point in the same direction: more spending, more debt, and more money printing. Arthur explains why governments are not going to choose austerity, why the inflationary tax is the path of least resistance, and why Bitcoin remains the trade in a world where fiat liquidity keeps expanding. We also get into the risks ahead: AI-driven job losses, social unrest, energy and commodity shocks, the fragility of the Treasury market, and the possibility of another policy panic.

“We’re in an era where the monetary system is changing. The world is going to look very different on the other side of this thing.” Checkmate is back on the show to explain why Bitcoin may already be back in a bull market and why the bigger story is not just the price, but the system beginning to crack. We get into his case that the bottom is likely in, why the $60k flush looked like a real capitulation event, and the levels that matter now. Checkmate breaks down the on-chain data behind his 80% bull-market thesis, why bears may be running out of road, and what happens when sentiment flips from selling rips to buying dips. We also get into rising bond yields, broken fiscal systems, the end of trust in government debt, Bitcoin vs gold, ETF flows, Strategy/MSTR risk, Coinbase custody risk, and why the world is moving towards assets that sit outside the system. We then get into Australia’s proposed capital gains tax changes, why Checkmate sees them as a direct attack on savers, builders and young people, and why tax policy may become one of the next major battlegrounds for Bitcoiners.

“The alpha is still in Bitcoin. But it’s just by treating Bitcoin as money.” Brian De Mint is the head of marketing for Club Orange, a real-world social network for Bitcoiners. In this episode, we discuss why Bitcoin’s next phase may not just be holding the asset, but building a real economy around it: Bitcoin meetups, IRL community, the case for spending sats, merchant adoption, Lightning payments, Bitcoin mining as a free-market energy solution, and why treating Bitcoin as money can create stronger economic relationships between Bitcoiners. We also get into food and health to medicine, nutrition and the incentives behind the institutions we’re told to trust.
