Happy new year! My goals for 2026 are to fill in the gaps of my knowledge when it comes to self custody and mining. I also plan hit hit the 1 petahash milestone between home miners and hosted.

I have a serious question for you. I recently listened to an interview with the Samurai wallet dev who has been sentenced to 5 years prison for writing open source software. In the interview he talked about how his constitutional rights were not respected and how hostile the judge was. They had no evidence of an actual crime being committed, so the charges are for “conspiracy” to commit crimes. Basically, as they we…

Thank you for a great show.

Love the show, its my go to every week for bitcoin news. 🎄

Long time lurker and sats streamer, first time booster. Thanks for all the value over the last year. I think the quantum fud is overhyped in the short term, but should be an increasing conversation in the BTC community. Would be great if you could cover quantum resistant mathematics like lattice-based cryptography or similar approaches. God knows it's gonna take a long time to get this community of left curve types…

Happy winter solstice!

If investing in the future is a form of hope, then bitcoin is not fear, but rather a new hope in response to a fading imperial legacy system that offers little hope. Now, if you will excuse me, there’s a droid I’m looking for that way.

Thanks for your coverage this year, Chris. You've provided great value and seemed to have fun doing it. I bet it's a slog, but hopefully listeners adhere to the V4V principals which underpin this platform - the best kind IMO. Enjoy the break. MDS

Luke Gromen is a bitcoin tourist! Enjoy your holidays and thanks for the great podcast- looking forward to another year of incredible growth of the bitcoin virus

Poor Luke. He's stuck watching whoever is left on Twitter after most everyone who knows Bitcoin left it for Nostr. Wonder what sort of nonsense he's seeing there these days... I do appreciate him bringing the holiday sale though just in time for fiat bonus checks.

Hey 👋 I just wanted to see if you had a read on Fold card as there’s new KYC restrictions in some cases…I haven’t delved at all just hoping for the TWIB quick hit. I do love getting the boost on air, just a heads up it’s “blay-zar” as in the giant black hole…😅🫡

Suits me if some deep-pocketed types are toying with the people doing high leverage stuff against Bitcoin as that mess seems to artificially distort the actual market value of BTC… or that’s my layman’s impression at least

New episode! This week I take some time responding to Luke Gromen’s mid-level take on Bitcoin’s Quantum Computing risk. And it’s packed full of other news of the week. Enjoy! 🍻
