THE Bitcoin Podcast

In this episode of The Bitcoin Podcast, I sit down with Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin, to talk about where Bitcoin stands today. Cory explains why he thinks most Bitcoin treasury companies fell short of what they promised, and why he now recommends keeping at least 90% of your Bitcoin exposure in the real thing rather than stocks, ETFs, or other proxies. He also pushes back on the idea that AI agents will drive Bitcoin payments, arguing they'll mostly pay in digital dollars, and that the stronger use case is censored humans who need money that can't be stopped.

He also explains why his advice has hardened to keeping 90% or more of your exposure in real Bitcoin.

Welcome to Kayfabe University. Class is in session.

Rod Palmer and Richard Greaser of The Bitcoin Bugle return for a conversation about the performance, propaganda, satire, and manufactured reality shaping life online.

We discuss fake audiences, bot-driven influence, political theater, Gen Z’s ability to monetize everything, and what happens when kayfabe produces real-world consequences. We also explore how to find signal in the noise, why authenticity is becoming a superpower, and the simple white pill of turning off your phone and living your life.

Ben Justman is the founder of Peony Lane Wine, a Colorado winemaker, farmer, Bitcoiner, and one of the most entertaining voices in the Bitcoin space.

In this episode, Walker sits down with Ben to discuss the very real story of bears destroying his vineyard’s grape crop, the harsh economics and uncertainty of small-scale farming, and why building a business around real products changes your perspective on money, risk, and time preference.

Ben explains why independent farmers face far more than weather risk—from frost and wildlife to thin margins and broken incentives—and why supporting local producers matters. The conversation also explores Bitcoin adoption, dollar-cost averaging, monetary debasement, Bitcoin versus stocks, and why Bitcoin can improve a person’s life long before it delivers the financial outcome they originally expected.

This is a conversation about resilience, sovereignty, entrepreneurship, agriculture, Bitcoin conviction, and continuing to build through difficult cycles.
