BITCOIN ADOPTION, SELF-CUSTODY, ECASH & FIGHTING STATE CONTROL | Evan Kaloudis of Zeus
"I think if Bitcoin stays where it's at with the small community it has and it's just used as it is now–store value, ETFs, shiny rock under the bed, gold 2.0–I'll consider it a colossal failure. So we need to build out these circular economies and make sure Bitcoin gets used for commerce everywhere."
In this episode of the Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America talks with Evan Kaloudis, founder of Zeus, to discuss Bitcoin adoption, improving UX, orange pilling struggles, merchant adoption, self-custody, the Lightning Network, eCash (Cashu), CBDCs, resisting state overreach, and the future of Bitcoin development. They also discuss how Evan kept developing Zeus in the USA, even when other companies were leaving the country and cutting off access for Americans.

POLITICAL EVOLUTION & BITCOIN POLICY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM | Freddie New
"Bitcoin is both a top down movement and a bottom up movement. So individual people realizing the government isn't going to come and save them and preserving their wealth in Bitcoin is a valid and valuable thing that you can do, but at the same time, we should also engage with our elected representatives and try and educate them to understand the same thing."
On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America interviews Freddie New, CHIEF POLICY OFFICER & CO-FOUNDER of Bitcoin Policy UK, about Bitcoin adoption, policy, and the current political climate in the UK. They also discuss the overall UK political landscape and the rise of Reform Party, CBDCs, Government debt and economic collapse, and Bitcoin as a solution to current economic problems in the UK and around the world.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Update, World War 3, Printer is Coming, Gold vs Bitcoin, & UAP Disclosure | Matthew Pines
"If I zoom out over the next five, 10 years, what's the most important thing? It's actually not the Bitcoin stuff. It's this UAP stuff… This is the thing that's going to change the lives of my children much more so than Bitcoin. Bitcoin will give them a good life, but this thing will change the future of human civilization."
Matthew Pines, Executive Director of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, joins Walker on THE Bitcoin Podcast to talk about the upcoming Bitcoin Policy Summit, Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, World War III, geopolitical game theory, global liquidity and macro conditions, Bitcoin vs Gold, UAP disclosure, and much more.

SECURING YOUR BODY & BITCOIN FOR THE HYPERBITCOINIZED FUTURE | Erik Cason & Jesse Posner (Vora)
"You wouldn't buy a hundred dollars safe off of Amazon and put a million dollars in it. But that's kind of what Bitcoiners are doing with their hardware wallets."
On this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Erik Cason and Jesse Posner, founders of Vora, join Walker to discuss Bitcoin self-sovereignty, privacy, and security in the age of hyperbitcoinization. They explore how Vora’s decentralized cryptographic key storage and advanced privacy tools—like zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments—are designed to empower Bitcoiners with true custody, physical protection, and credible deterrence from $5 wrench attacks to 6102 events. The conversation ties American constitutional values and the castle doctrine to Bitcoin’s rise, critiques fiat systems and TradFi narratives, and envisions a future where Bitcoiners own their safety, privacy, and freedom in a post-fiat world.
