Guest: Why a Fed Rate Hike Might Not Crash Bitcoin This Time | Ansel Lindner
Today's FOMC decision carries real weight: markets are pricing an 87% probability of a 25 basis point hike, the first since 2023, after the Fed held in July on a divided 9-3 vote. Core inflation is running at 3.3%, the labor market is still warm, and Bitcoin is sitting around $77-79K heading into the announcement. Ansel Lindner (Bitcoin & Markets) joins us to break down what actually matters here: whether 25 bps is a real policy shift or mostly signaling, what a hike does to that 9-3 dissent, and why…
Is The Fed About To Kill The Bitcoin Bull Run Before It Has Even Begun? | Cam Stromme & Mitchell Askew
🔴 LIVE — Cam Stromme and Mitchell Askew are joining us live as we analyze the impending Federal Reserve decision that could cut the Bitcoin bull run short before it ever gets off the ground — and the timing couldn't be more critical. The signals coming out of the Fed right now suggest a move that markets are wildly underpricing, and if it lands the way our guests expect, the rally most Bitcoiners are waiting for could get delayed or derailed entirely. This is the warning you need to hear before…
The Mantra of Bitcoin w/ Kgothatso Ngako
In this episode, Frank sits down with Kgothatso Ngako (KG), founder of Machankura, Exonomia, and now Mantra — a tool that can be used to translate Bitcoin texts. In the first part of the discussion — which is for the more technical-minded out there — KG provides an overview of how Mantra works, who it's for and why he employed tech like Nostr, Frost, and the Marmot Protocol in its design. He also shares how his work on Mantra will ultimately inform upcoming development for Machankura. In the…
Bitcoin ist ein Geschenk für die Menschheit, Marc Friedrich | Relai Bitcoin Podcast #129
Marc Friedrich ist der bekannteste Finanz- und Politikexperte Deutschlands und immer wieder präsent in den Medien, auf Social Media und in der Bitcoin-Community.

Im Gespräch mit Relai-CEO Julian Liniger spricht Marc über die Beweggründe, weshalb er so vielen Leuten die Finanzwelt näherbringt. Woher Bitcoin seiner Meinung nach stammt, wie es in den kommenden Jahren weitergehen wird und was der…
AI Came for Bitcoin First | Jameson Lopp
"The rest of the world, of course, should always have been paying attention to Bitcoin, but they should be paying attention to it for a very different set of reasons now because they’re next.” Jameson Lopp returns to discuss how AI is accelerating the race between hackers and defenders, what the Coldcard and Liquid hacks reveal about Bitcoin security, and why he sees Bitcoin as the canary in the coal mine for other industries. We also get into hardware wallets, multisig and protecting…
How to Escape Your Fiat Job and Build a Bitcoin Career with Dušan Matuška
Can you leave your fiat job and build a real career around Bitcoin? In Episode 14 of A Block with Mir, I sit down with Bitcoin educator Dušan Matuška during the Plan ₿ Summer School in Lugano. Before discovering Bitcoin, Dušan taught subjects ranging from mathematics and physics to English, dance, and sailing. Although his roles changed, education remained the common thread and eventually became the foundation of his Bitcoin career. We discuss why working in Bitcoin is rarely about finding an…
“We Just Passed The Point of No Return” — Why $500K Bitcoin Is Inevitable Now | Jamie Coutts
Jamie Coutts says we just passed the point of no return. Bitcoin broke out in a way that historically only happens once every few years, and he thinks $500,000 is no longer a question of if, but when. Jamie, macro and crypto strategist at Real Vision (@RealVisionFinance), returns to explain why the 10-year Treasury is quietly in crisis, why Bessent may be trapped by his own strategy, and why the AI boom could end up being one of the biggest tailwinds Bitcoin has ever had. Here is what we cover: …
Number Go Up vs Bitcoin as Money with Desert Dave | Bitcoin Infinity Show #220
Desert Dave joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about off-grid solar Bitcoin mining in the Arizona desert, the failed BIP 110 soft fork, and why he's bricking six ASICs to mine a new proof-of-work fork instead. Knut pushes back hard, arguing that node decentralization, Ocean and DATUM, and alternative implementations still make the legacy chain worth fighting for, while Dave argues Bitcoin Core and the mining pools are too captured to fix. They dig into self-custody, spam and OP_RETURN, mining…
109 - Bitcoin as Collateral: Zaria CEO Emily Barron on Lending Rails
Emily Barron, CEO and co-founder of Zaria, on why Bitcoin is becoming institutional collateral — and why servicing, not origination, is the bottleneck. Zaria builds the operational backbone for digital asset-backed loans: 24/7 collateral monitoring, primary and backup servicing, agency functions, and advisory. Emily traces the path from capital-markets work to Bitcoin collateral, the post-2022 reset in digital-asset lending, and Zaria’s bid to become a national trust bank so structured credit can…
