Shownotes
Humble Warrior hosts Bitcoin Today while Loren drives home, and the room works through a brutal morning: the price sliding under seventy-two thousand, Strategy getting dropped from the MSCI indexes, ETF flows getting worse, and Jensen Huang out at Nvidia. The debate runs the full arc, from whether $71,000 is just honest demand and pain is what brings people to Bitcoin, to the case that adoption comes from America, from community, and from outside the ETF wrapper. Richard Greaser argues the American case, the room fights over self-custody versus exchanges, and it closes with a simple rule for a normal bear market: control your stack and live your life.

Tiffany Varty guest hosts Bitcoin Today with Humble Warrior, and the room spends Veterans Day on the big questions: Gresham's law, whether Bitcoin becomes a medium of exchange or a unit of account, and Joe Carlasare's correction of the gold standard story. Fred Krueger makes the case that adoption and the power law drive number go up, the room argues over 1 percent allocations from Wall Street friends, and the back half is a heated mining debate over Bitaxe lottery tickets, heat reuse, and why most people should just buy Bitcoin. The incentives thread runs through it all: Bitcoin works because self-interest lines up with the network.

Humble Warrior guest hosts Bitcoin Today with Loren Hodl and Terence Michael traveling, and the room digs into MARA selling 13,597 bitcoin for $1.1 billion to chase AI data centers. Gary Cardone argues the big miners are liquidating into AI while small miners making bitcoin near $37,000 inherit the network, and Darkside makes the long case: Bitcoin is the automobile and fiat is the horse and buggy. The back half is a mining masterclass on why almost nobody ROIs in bitcoin terms, plus an iOS 26 flaw that puts seed phrases at risk and the 35% of Bitcoin supply with exposed public keys.

Terence Michael hosts with Loren on the road, and the room works through the Binance hack that exposed 900,000 users, Coinkite's refusal to own the Coldcard breach, and BlackRock turning self-custody fears into an IBIT pitch. The back half goes deep on covenants, the upgrade that would make a stolen key useless, plus Project Janus nuclear reactors, a16z stepping back from crypto, and a year of Bitcoin decorrelation.

Bitcoin holds $75K after the midterm sweep—but could a blue wave be the most bullish outcome for Bitcoin?
Loren Hodl and Terence Michael lead a wide-ranging discussion on the political landscape, Strategy’s evolution into a potential Bitcoin bank, and why spending and replacing Bitcoin could be a better way to live on a Bitcoin standard. The conversation explores whether AI and LLMs can simplify tax filing using wallet exports, and how Bitcoin-backed mortgages from Milo and Arch Lending could change the path to homeownership.
The panel also tackles the housing dilemma: save in Bitcoin for a home, spend it, keep renting, or borrow against it? Paula makes the case for spending and replacing Bitcoin, while the discussion closes with El Salvador’s health care system, statins, and tax-loss harvesting.

Shownotes
Fred Krueger joins Loren Hodl to argue the agentic AI economy will settle in Bitcoin rather than stablecoins, because an autonomous agent cannot hold money a human can freeze, and he lays out the Lightning rails that let machines pay each other today. Darkside opens with the two-way wipeout, about $400 million of shorts and $500 million of longs liquidated, and calls it the 1974 gold futures playbook running on Bitcoin, then warns that Strategy's STRC preferred shares are being paid by bashing the common stock. A precious metals miner who has chased the debasement trade for two decades pushes back with the 82 percent of world trade still settled in dollars, and the room closes on custody and inheritance, from Binance's hot wallets to two-of-three multisig with one key in a bank vault.

Shownotes
Dennis Porter joins Terence Michael the morning after the midterm sweep to map what a flipped House and Senate mean for Bitcoin: the energy and infrastructure bills already moving, Senator Gillibrand at the negotiating table, and Elizabeth Warren stripped of the financial power she held. Darkside calls the result a vote against being lied to rather than a vote for Democrats, and says the printer keeps running no matter who holds the gavel. Then the room turns on itself over the oldest fight in Bitcoin: whether number go up is the best marketing the network has, or a failed theory that pushes people away.

Darkside does the math Michael Saylor leaves out: Strategy owes $1 billion in September 2027 if MSTR closes below $183, $2 billion in March 2028 below $433, and $3.5 billion more by 2029, while roughly $1 billion every five weeks goes into buying back STRC. Tomer Strolight shows how Grok's reverse-split error made Strive (ASST) look up 200 percent while it fell 83 percent, and Fred Krueger notes ASST is down about 80 percent since Matt Cole took over. TC explains why a permissionless purchase from an Indian pharmacy during COVID mattered more than price, and Jethro, Scott Wolfe, and Pursuing Freedom preview El Salvador's Bitcoin month, with 1,400 merchants accepting Bitcoin and Historico at the National Palace. Plus election day in the room: John Deaton's Senate shot in Massachusetts, and why a midterm flip most likely means gridlock, not a crackdown.

dotoshy and Joe Carlasare say the Binance story is not finished: outflows have passed $7 billion since withdrawals reopened, CZ is publicly denying that Binance borrowed money, sold assets, or raised capital to fill a $6 billion hole, and accounts holding $100 million or more still cannot withdraw while smaller accounts get out.

Mike Schmidt, who funds core developers through Brink and runs the Bitcoin Security Consortium's quantum work, explains why Bitcoin Core skipped version 32 for 32.1 after an AI scanner caught a medium-severity bug, and why the BIP110 fight turned on the difference between consensus and policy. TC reads the day's difficulty adjustment, set to jump close to 6% for the second time in two weeks, as proof miners are not bearish. Wicked explains why he is leaving multisig behind now that EntropyLab can verify a hardware wallet before it signs. Dave Weisberger argues AI is about to expose every crack in digital finance, passkeys or not.

Joe Carlasare, an attorney, walks the room through AI copyright: whether AI output is a tool's product or a principal author's work decides if it can be protected at all, and why anonymous accounts offer no shelter from false-light judgments. Lorenzo opens on the Fed meeting with a simpler frame: he does not save in dollars, so he follows issuance, halvings, and difficulty instead of the rate decision. TC warns that AI can now read and write code better than humans, so every bug in every system is open season, and the room closes on a bet against Jason Calacanis that grows past $4 million.

Terence Michael hosts an open-floor Bitcoin Today room that starts with the simplest question in personal finance: what actually preserves savings when bonds sit doing nothing for decades and the 401k is supposed to be fine? The room builds a working elevator pitch for Bitcoin, from 17 years of persistence to self-custody, the circle of trust, and why a crisis is what finally makes people question everything. The throughline is practical: stop cherry-picking timeframes, keep your own keys, and judge money by what it preserves, not what it promises.

Loren Hodl and the Bitcoin Today room work through the quantum FUD cycle, paper Bitcoin, and what actually secures a blockchain, from hacked-coin scenarios to the nominal amounts that matter. The room debates whether any other chain can ever reach Bitcoin's decentralization, why the top 10 from 2016 looks nothing like today, and what evidence would change their minds. The show closes on the gold flip: at least 10 years out, against a $30 trillion market cap, and what a $15 trillion Ethereum would mean for the thesis.

Roberto argues Japan is the monetary experiment lab for the West: thirty years of QE, QQE, and yield curve control that never created growth, with yield curve control next for the United States if a bond market crisis hits. He calls the BIS the head of the Medusa and makes the finale case that Bitcoin solves the Triffin dilemma, because a reserve asset with no host country cannot break one, unlocking $20 to $40 trillion in daily trade liquidity and forced nation-state adoption. Terence Michael opens the show as Bitcoin's hash rate returns to one zettahash, one sextillion computations per second.

After Coldcard: Never Trust a Wallet to Make Your 24 Words | Bitcoin Seed Security & EntropyLab | Oct. 22, 2026

Shownotes
The builder of EntropyLab, a single-file offline Bitcoin key and wallet calculator, argues your seed words are only as trustworthy as the entropy that created them, and that after the Coldcard failure no hardware wallet should generate your 24 words in secret. TC lays out the contradiction at the heart of Bitcoin security and the fix: roll your own entropy, create your own words, verify everything yourself. Fred Krueger answers the latest quantum panic, and Harry explains how one certificate authority's broken keys could have forged any website on Earth.

Charles Schwab is moving toward a Bitcoin ETF, and the Bitcoin Today room digs into what it means for holders, advisors and the price. Loren and Terence host today's live Bitcoin Today Space with the community, including Aztec, Natalie, Michael, Omar and more.
Today on Bitcoin Today, the conversation opens with the community catching up and what the room is watching on a big conference day. Then the Tesla Roadster and Cybertruck debate takes over, with the panel split on whether the launch hype is real. Along the way: Elon, politics and why polarization keeps people arguing.
Then we turn to Bitcoin. The big news is Schwab and its RIA platform. The panel talks about Bitcoin ETFs, whether ETF selling pressure matters, how Bitcoin differs from an S&P 500 ETF because there can only ever be 21 million, and why more ETF adoption makes self-custody and multi-sig conversations more important, not less. We close out with spend and replace thinking, and the long game for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin price, hot inflation data, rising bond yields, and a potential AI data center bubble—is the market overlooking important risks? This Bitcoin Today replay explores the latest macroeconomic signals, Bitcoin market sentiment, artificial intelligence, and the question of who to trust in a world of competing narratives.
Hosted by Eric Rice, with Loren joining as co-host, this live Bitcoin community discussion brings together Jeff, Michael, Corey, Tico, G Money, Aztec, Sean, and others to debate Bitcoin, markets, politics, and technology.
BITCOIN, PPI INFLATION & THE MACRO OUTLOOK
We discuss the hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI), sticky inflation, bond yields, gold, and Bitcoin's price action—including the market reaction as Bitcoin fell below $80,000 during the conversation. The panel considers the difference between short-term volatility and Bitcoin's long-term fundamentals.
AI DATA CENTERS: BOOM OR BUBBLE?
Are AI hyperscalers and data center companies building the infrastructure of the future, or could the AI investment boom be heading for a correction? We explore data center energy and water demands, infrastructure spending, regulation, and the potential implications for markets and Bitcoin mining.
TRUST, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & BITCOIN
Who can you trust when politics, media, and AI-generated narratives compete for attention? The discussion explores language models (LLMs), centralized AI, credibility, and Bitcoin's ability to operate without a third party approving transactions.
We also touch on Bitcoin treasury companies, including Strategy and Strive, Bitcoin forks such as BCH and BSV, market psychology, and why long-term conviction matters when headlines create uncertainty.
If you're interested in Bitcoin news, Bitcoin price analysis, macroeconomics, inflation, AI infrastructure, hyperscalers, Bitcoin mining, and the future of money, catch the full conversation.

Are Strategy’s rising preferred stock yields a warning sign—or an opportunity for Bitcoin investors? From Bitcoin OGs who moved to altcoins to a heated debate over Boomers, Gen Z, and a potential market reset, this episode explores the risks, opportunities, and convictions shaping the Bitcoin market.
Today on Bitcoin Today, we start with some lighthearted community banter before diving into Bitcoin forks and the early Bitcoin figures who went in different directions. We discuss BSV, BCH, their ETFs, and why Bitcoin’s core fundamentals remain central to the debate.
Then we tackle the generational divide. Why are so many young people frustrated with the current system? How did we get here, and what could happen as wealth shifts from one generation to the next?
Next, we turn to Strategy, Strive, and preferred stock yields. We examine products like STRC, the high rates they offer, what they could signal about access to capital, and the risks that emerge when companies rely on continued market access.
Finally, the conversation turns to preparing for a possible market reset. We discuss hedging, keeping dry powder, the upcoming election, and why the group refuses to bet against America. We close with Bitcoin conviction, opportunity, and the importance of making decisions you can live with—without unnecessary regrets.
It’s a market-focused Space covering Bitcoin, Strategy, Strive, preferred stock yields, Bitcoin forks, BSV, BCH, generational wealth, market risk, hedging, the election, and the long-term case for Bitcoin.
