A Cypherpunk's Manifesto by Eric Hughes
"We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money. Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down. Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act."

NOSTR, CAPITALISM, & THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA with VITOR PAMPLONA (Nostr Talk on THE Bitcoin Podcast)
“The only barrier that you would not join Nostr right now is because the other platforms have more users and they can use that as leverage today. But that's not going to be the case in many years… those who are starting to get their followers already on Nostr are taking a significant advantage over everybody else because they're to grow faster. And we all know how network effects happen. It just so happens that on Nostr, the network effects themselves are owned by the creator.”
On this Nostr Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Vitor Pamplona, the creator of the all-in-one Nostr client for Android, Amethyst.

Bitcoin for National Security, UAPs, & World War 3..? - MATTHEW PINES (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Matthew Pines. We explore the potential future of Bitcoin, particularly its possible parity with gold, and discusses the strategic decisions the United States should consider to maximize its economic advantage in a world where Bitcoin gains prominence.

Hi, I’m Walker, the host of THE Bitcoin Podcast, AKA @titcoinpodcast.
I’m a family man, I’m a Bitcoiner, and, like most of you, I still have a job mining fiat so I can stack sats. You probably know my brilliant, stunning, and hilarious wife, Carla Bitcoin. We got our start in the Bitcoin space making short-form comedy, satire, and music videos. But since we had our incredible son, Apollo, Carla has taken a step back from content creation–and she was the real talent anyway–so I did what every Bitcoiner eventually does; I started a podcast.

PRIVACY, FREEDOM & NOSTR with UNCLE ROCKSTAR (THE Bitcoin Podcast)
"When Cypherpunks wrote that privacy is necessary in order to establish democratic society in digital age, that's a profound statement, because you do look at states in which people do not have privacy, they can't have freedom in the digital age."
On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with UNCLE ROCKSTAR.
We discuss the political landscape, the importance of privacy in the digital age, and the role of developers in creating freedom tech, the impact of social media algorithms on discourse, the potential of Nostr as a privacy-preserving protocol for open source development, and the necessity of building parallel systems to foster individual sovereignty.

PROTON WALLET: Privacy, Censorship & Building on Bitcoin - Andy Yen (THE Bitcoin Podcast)
“If Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and the big banks decided to gang up on Proton, they can still do the same thing to us today, right? So from that moment to today, I think I've always been the advocate of how can we get this powerful concept [Bitcoin] that enabled Proton to survive 10 years ago and make it more widespread and make it more common? Because I think the future of business, democracy, freedom, it really depends on this.”
On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Andy Yen, the CEO and Founder of Proton. Not only does Proton offer encrypted email, VPN, file storage, and a password manager, but they recently announced they’re launching Proton Wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin-only wallet, which is currently in beta but will soon be available to their 100 million users worldwide.
