From Coffeehouses to Cyberspace: How Bitcoin Fixes Insurance | Aaron Daniel
"There is nothing stronger than Bitcoin when it comes to preserving property. It's the end all be all right now of property rights."
In this episode of The Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America interviews Aaron Daniel about Bitcoin, insurance, and open-source freedom tech legal issues.
Key Topics:
Bitcoin's role in property rights
Bitcoin insurance and Resolvr
Bitcoin's role as a stimulant for commerce
The Roman Sterlingov case and chain analysis
Bitcoin meets insurance, payments, and privacy. Walker sits down with appellate attorney and Resolvr founder Aaron Daniel to unpack how Resolvr is building BDIC (Bitcoin-Denominated Insurance Collaborative)—a marketplace that embeds sat-denominated coverage directly into wallets, collaborative custody, and (eventually) exchanges. They compare BDIC to FDIC, dig into Lightning-settled premium flows via Resolvr’s Premium Manager, and explain why matching BTC risks with BTC liabilities matters for miners, custodians, and everyday HODLers. Aaron also traces the surprising coffeehouse origins of insurance → Lloyd’s of London, argues why insurers should roll out the red carpet to Bitcoin rails, and outlines adoption timing (innovators → early adopters). In the back half, he breaks down the Roman Sterlingov / Bitcoin Fog appeal and the dangers of black-box forensics (Chainalysis, ShotSpotter, proprietary DNA tools), making the case for open-source evidence in a just system.

THE BIG PRINT IS COMING: DOLLAR = TITANIC, BITCOIN = LIFEBOAT | Lawrence Lepard
"It comes back to that basic understanding that a monetary unit of fixed supply did not exist before Bitcoin. That's the key. That's the insight people need to get their heads around"
LISTEN TO "THE BIG PRINT": https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Big-Print-Audiobook/B0F2NBRB4Q
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America is joined by legendary investor and sound money advocate Lawrence “Larry” Lepard to break down the global macro storm that’s unfolding right now. Larry explains why the U.S. is trapped in a debt doom loop, how shadow yield curve control signals stealth money printing, and why inflation is set to roar back harder in 2025. We dive into the national debt passing $37 trillion, M2 growth, bond yields, and why fiat currencies everywhere are failing faster than most people realize. Larry also unpacks the historical patterns of gold leading inflation waves while Bitcoin follows with explosive gains, and why Bitcoin’s fixed supply makes it the ultimate hedge against monetary debasement. Together, Walker and Larry connect the dots between the Fourth Turning, long-term debt cycles, political instability, AI, and Bitcoin—showing how all cycles are converging toward a historic reset. If you want to understand why Larry Lepard believes Bitcoin and gold are the lifeboats in a sinking fiat Titanic—and why this decade could bring the biggest wealth transfer in history—this is a must-watch. What you’ll learn: - Why U.S. debt and deficits guarantee higher inflation ahead - How M2 growth, bond yields, and Fed/Treasury actions reveal the truth - Why Bitcoin and gold are the best protection in the coming reset - How the Fourth Turning, anacyclosis, and debt cycles converge with Bitcoin - Larry’s price outlook for gold ($4,000) and Bitcoin ($140k+) by end of 2025 - Why “nothing stops this train”—and how to prepare your family.

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk | American Hodl, Erik Cason, Guy Swann
"This is the time for bravery. It's the time for courage. It's the time for more speech. It's the time to self-censor even less because it's too important."
A raw, urgent round-table with American HODL, Eric Cason, and Guy Swann on the cultural fracture following the killing of Charlie Kirk—and why speech, not violence, is the only way out. The crew wrestles with grief and anger, the “banality of evil,” media incentives, and why debate on campus matters. Then they pivot to Bitcoin as a non-violent, property-rights-based “third way”: a cultural exit from nihilism and the fiat feedback loop that funds endless political escalation. You’ll hear Gerard, Foucault, and Fourth Turning riffs alongside practical calls for courage, organizing, and orange-pilling your local community. Heavy, hopeful, and very human.

BITCOIN CORE VS KNOTS, SPAM VS FILTERS, QUANTUM THREATS, & SOCIAL ENGINEERING | Jameson Lopp
"If we ever get to the point where nobody's arguing about Bitcoin, I would be afraid that that's because nobody cares anymore and Bitcoin is actually dead or dying."
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Bitcoin technologist Jameson Lopp (Casa co-founder & CSO) joins Walker America to cut through today’s Bitcoin noise: filter wars, spam on Bitcoin, standardness vs. consensus, the real risks (social engineering vs wrench attacks), and how to actually secure generational wealth with family multi-sig. We also dive into the quantum computing threat—timelines, soft-fork options, migration game theory, and why coordination (not cryptography alone) will be the hard part. Plus: culture/politics, ossification, and how debates keep Bitcoin antifragile.

CHOPSOLIDATION MAKE BITCOIN NUMBER GO UP | James Check (Checkmate)
"[Bitcoin has] proven that we're now a $2 trillion asset. The next move is $3 trillion. And if we go through another 12 months of sideways, the next stop is $4 trillion."
Bitcoin at $110k+ and people are still bearish? In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down with on-chain and macro Bitcoin analyst James Check (Checkmate) to unpack why vibes feel weird despite a roaring market. From “chop-solidation” (boring sideways that sets up face-melting moves) to how ETF flows, IBIT options, MSTR, and OG whale supply actually work, Checkmate explains why massive demand can hide in plain sight—and why DCA + patience still beats most “clever” trades. They also discuss Bitcoin Treasury Companies, MNAV premiums, why most “proxy plays” behave like levered, timing-sensitive trades, and why just owning spot BTC usually wins.
