Mentor Sessions Ep. 044: Bitcoin Freedom, Government Adoption Risks & IMF Criticism | My First Bitcoin Founder John Dennehy What if government Bitcoin adoption isn't the victory everyone celebrates... but the greatest threat to true Bitcoin freedom? In this eye-opening interview on BTC Sessions, John Dennehy — founder of My First Bitcoin — drops the uncomfortable realities: governments and corporations could co-opt Bitcoin, turning it into just another controlled asset while stripping away self-custody, sovereignty, and individual power.

It’s a great day when Rock Paper Bitcoin drops. My favorite bitcoin podcast. These guys will be massive when more plebs graduate to the pioneer status.

I got to meet Fundamentals and do a quick interview for the My First Bitcoin documentary in Prague last week. I’ve listened to every Rock Paper Bitcoin episode since @npub1phvflpwfk… put me onto them last year. These guys are pioneers. Onward!

Cool to see The Home Mining Podcast grow. Solo satoshi is a huge part of the movement to decentralize bitcoin mining. I met the host My Two Sats a few months back and we just got on a call to finally get set up to receive sats via fountain. V4V is the way!

Mechanic’s points about spam and scammers are spot on. “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” It’s important for people to grasp that Bitcoin could potentially end up like email- where there are a few centralized node runners in a walled garden to prevent spam.

Fantastic conversation @npub1dg6es53r3… + @npub1s05p3ha7e… The control system and the open, secure decentralized protocol bounded by energy cannot coexist indefinitely. That is why we are witnessing the current attempt to l centralize bitcoin and make it an asset. Bitcoin is money. 2026 is the year of using it.

"Money has spiritual energy. If you're spending blood money that comes with consequences." Incredible episode this really got me thinking… the proof of weapons network isn’t going to roll over without a fight.

I realized today that the Bugle Weekly is actually quite meditative. I end up feeling more grounded and in touch with humanity after a good rip with Rod and Dick.
