• DO THE F***ING MATH | BITCOIN AFTER DARK EP 1 (BAD001)

  "Bitcoin is the best money that humanity has ever invented, discovered, whatever you want to say. There's 21 million forever. There's infinite fiat forever. Do the f***ing math. This isn't that complicated. You just have to stack sats." This is episode one of BITCOIN AFTER DARK. These episodes are originally live streamed as "emergency broadcasts" and I figured I might as well put them out as regular episodes. If you are bearish or worried about bitcoin right now, then this episode is for you. For this rip I'm solo for the first part then joined by Nathan from Bitcoin Mentor (links below).

• Self-Custody, Nostr, & Building the Bitcoin Future | Alex McShane

  "Our government is very, very corrupt. That's why we're here." In this episode, I chat with Alex McShane, a longtime Bitcoin builder, events producer, and deep thinker on everything from protocol development to the culture wars within Bitcoin. We dive into the reality of self-custody and the problems with deceptive hardware wallet marketing. We also explore the rise of open-source funding models and Nostr’s challenges with product-market fit. Alex opens up about his background running massive conferences, his early work with Bitcoin Magazine, and his thoughts on whether the Bitcoin space is heading toward real progress or just creating echo chambers of underutilized tools.

• Bitcoin: The Infinite Game & The Price of Everything | Jeff Booth

  “If you’re measuring Bitcoin in dollars, you haven’t left the matrix yet.” In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down once again with Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow and co-founder of Ego Death Capital, for a deep dive into the real state of the world: – Why the natural state of a free market is deflation – How fiat money, credit crises and “liquidity tightening” create the illusion that Bitcoin is failing – Why nothing has changed in Bitcoin… and everything has changed in the legacy system Jeff explains why he left Canada, what he sees coming next (capital controls, higher taxes, more surveillance), and why countries like El Salvador and leaders like Bukele are so important in this moment. We talk about the on-the-ground reality in El Salvador, the Bitcoin Historico event, and why teaching kids to self-custody and use Bitcoin is the most “anti-dictator” move a government can make. We also dig into Fedi / Fedimint, community-based Bitcoin custody and private messaging, and why tools like Fedi + Nostr are mandatory if you want to keep your money and communications out of the coming AI-powered surveillance dragnet.

• Libertarian Kingmakers, Lawfare, and the Fight for Bitcoin Prisoners | Angela McArdle

  In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America talks with Angela McArdle—Chair of the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus and former Chair of the Libertarian National Party—about her path from local civil-liberties activism in Los Angeles to high-level federal political influence, including her pivotal role in negotiating Ross Ulbricht’s presidential pardon. Angela outlines her strategy for transforming the Libertarian Party from a spoiler into a “kingmaker” that leverages ballot access and voter blocs to secure policy concessions and cabinet roles from major candidates. She also details her ongoing work to fight escalating “lawfare” against Bitcoin developers—Samurai Wallet, Tornado Cash, Bitcoin Fog, and Ian Freeman—arguing these prosecutions target free speech and financial privacy. The discussion highlights Bitcoin’s importance in countering federal overreach, the need to expand Bitcoin adoption across both political tribes (not just the right), and why local political victories are often the most impactful. Angela concludes that individuals must actively take back their freedom—and that a determined 1% of the population can change history.
