Chat_131 - DEBATE: The US vs China/Guy Swann vs Alex Svetski [Liberty Lockdown]

"For me, the most important war, the thing that we are fighting for in the world today more than anything else for me is the spirit of the West. The spirit of the West has been under attack by globalists, by fucking adversaries, the trader parasite money changer class. That class, whoever the fuck that is, has been looking to destroy the productive spirit and soul of the West in any way that it can. Weaponizing everything from Chinese to fucking Indians to central banks to everything. And if that war can be fought without dropping fucking bombs and fought in a non-kinetic manner through economic means, that is the win of fucking wins in the history of humanity." ~ Aleks Svetski What happens when you put an Austrian-leaning Bitcoiner and a self-described mercantilist in the same room to debate the future of America’s economic policy? In this special re-release from the Liberty Lockdown Podcast, hosted by Clint Russell, I join Alex Svetski for a spirited roundtable on tariffs, the US-China dynamic, and the existential questions facing the West. Are tariffs a necessary evil to restore American industry, or just another tax that will hollow out the middle class? Can a nation preserve its culture and sovereignty without sacrificing economic freedom? And is Trump’s chaos a sign of strategic genius or just more turbulence for a world already on edge? We dig into the real-world consequences of policy, the role of great men in history, and whether Bitcoin is the answer—or just a hope for the next generation. Special thanks to Clint Russell and Liberty Lockdown for hosting this debate and letting me share it with you here.Link to original episode on Liberty Lockdown: DEBATE: The US vs China/Guy Swann vs Alex Svetski (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmELRv_Y8H8)   Bitcoin Audible & Guy Swann Links ⁠Guy on Nostr ⁠(Link: http://tinyurl.com/2xc96ney) ⁠Guy on X ⁠(Link: https://x.com/theguyswann) Guy on Instagram (Link: https://www.instagram.com/theguyswann) Guy on TikTok (Link: https://www.tiktok.com/@theguyswann) Guy on YouTube (Link: https://www.youtube.com/@theguyswann) ⁠Bitcoin Audible on X⁠ (Link: https://x.com/BitcoinAudible) The Guy Swann Network Broadcast Room on Keet (Link: https://tinyurl.com/3na6v839) Check out our awesome sponsors!

Read_878 - Forest Walker: Bitcoin mining and Forest Management

New technologies demand a better imagination. Old models will break, and new, unexpected, and wild ideas will replace them. In this episode, I dive into David Bennett’s wild “Forest Walker” concept. Can Bitcoin mining actually tip the scales on ideas that couldn't breach the barrier into economic sustainability? Could a fleet of autonomous, Bitcoin-powered forest robots be the answer to catastrophic wildfires, or is it too much complexity in a world that needs simple solutions? Let’s dig in and see if this crazy idea is really as far-fetched as it sounds—or if it’s exactly the kind of out-of-the-box thinking Bitcoin was made for.

Read_877 - Once in a Species

"This over-developed brain wiring supercharged our interest in scarce assets and our drive to obtain them. Behaviorally, this may have amounted to making us weirdos who collected seashells, simply because we couldn’t help but value their special rarity. But as we’ll explore, that odd behavioral quirk may have made all the difference for our species." — Jesse Myers What if the secret to humanity’s dominance wasn’t intelligence or brute strength, but a weird obsession with rare objects? Today we dive into a new and wildly interesting piece from Jesse Myers’ that tries to piece together evidence from pre-ancient history that may explain not only the importance of money in civilization, but that it may be more fundamental to the existence of our species than we even realize.Tune in as we dive into the evolutionary roots of money, the power of abstract thought, and what it all means for the future of value.

Chat_130 - Bitcoin Will Replace Fiat [Rajat Soni]

"All fiat dies because it's a trusted token that governments can arbitrarily change. Every fiat with every single powerful military behind it fell when the entity decided that they were just going to change the rules. And the military didn't protect them, the military protected them abusing the rules from the population.Argentina's military did not protect the Argentine population from hyperinflation. It protected the government from a revolution. The Venezuelan, the Zimbabwean, the huge list of fiat hyperinflations, the military was not your friend. It did not back the currency. It protected the government of their ability to defraud the population and eviscerate everyone's life savings, eviscerate their paychecks, and make the entire country poor to keep the elite rich." ~ Guy Swann Bitcoin isn’t part of the crypto casino—it’s something entirely different. In this conversation with Rajat Soni, we break down why Bitcoin operates more like language than a speculative asset and why trusted money inevitably falls apart. We explore the network effects that will keep more dollars chasing Bitcoin forever, the myth that the dollar is backed by military power, and why Bitcoin’s constant bid will bring long-term stability. We also get into why altcoins can’t survive as global money, how the entire stock market has turned into a gambling machine, and the harsh reality of the U.S. government’s financial position. But beyond all of this, what is the most important downstream effect of Bitcoin? We dive into it all.

Read_876 - FFR67 Plunging Currencies, CBDCs, and New Bitcoin Freedom Tools

What does financial repression look like in real time — and how are people fighting back with Bitcoin? In this episode, I read the Human Rights Foundation’s Financial Freedom Report #67, a roundup of the latest developments in monetary control, state surveillance, and Bitcoin tools empowering those under authoritarian regimes. From currency collapses in Turkey to smart contract-enforced CBDCs in Russia, we explore the chilling precision of financial control systems being deployed around the world. But it’s not all bleak — this report also highlights powerful tools like Stratum V2 mining pools, Cashew’s tap-to-pay e-cash, and HRF-supported grassroots adoption efforts in Pakistan and beyond. I follow the read with a Guy’s Take on the medium-of-exchange debate — and why using Bitcoin as a store of value may be more radical than it seems.

Reboot - Read_258 - 21 Lessons of the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole - Chapter 3 (Technology)

Have you ever felt lost in the rabbit hole of Bitcoin? In this episode, I revisit Gigi's "21 Lessons of the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole," diving deep into Chapter 3, which focuses on technology. What makes Bitcoin's technology so revolutionary? How does it invert the power balance of the physical world? We'll explore the cryptography that secures Bitcoin, the importance of decentralization, and the cypherpunk ethos that shaped its creation. Is Bitcoin just another app, or is it the foundation for a new economic reality? Join me as I rediscover the beauty and simplicity of Bitcoin's origins, and ponder the exponential technologies that are shaping its future. Are you ready to go parabolic?

In this episode, I revisit Chapter 2 of Gigi's "21 Lessons from the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole," taking another look at the core principles of economics through a Bitcoin lens. We'll explore concepts like inflation, value, and sound money, questioning the traditional financial system along the way. How does Bitcoin challenge our understanding of these concepts?

Reboot - Read_256 - 21 Lessons of the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole - Chapter 1 (Philosophy)

Returning to a classic! I revisit Gigi's "21 Lessons of the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole," starting with Chapter 1: Philosophy. What does Bitcoin have to teach us about immutability, scarcity, and identity? Can a digital creation challenge our understanding of the world around us? Join me as I re-explore these foundational ideas and consider what they mean in today's ever-changing landscape. It's always a good time to dust off these fundamentals and ask ourselves if we've really understood the lessons they hold.  Check out the original article: Reboot - Read_256 - 21 Lessons of the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole - Chapter 1 (Philosophy) by Gigi (Link: https://21lessons.com/philosophy) Host Links ⁠Guy on Nostr ⁠(Link: http://tinyurl.com/2xc96ney) ⁠Guy on X ⁠(Link: https://twitter.com/theguyswann) Guy on Instagram (Link: https://www.instagram.com/theguyswann) Guy on TikTok (Link: https://www.tiktok.com/@theguyswann) Guy on YouTube (Link: https://www.youtube.com/@theguyswann) ⁠Bitcoin Audible on X⁠ (Link: https://twitter.com/BitcoinAudible) The Guy Swann Network Broadcast Room on Keet (Link: https://tinyurl.com/3na6v839) Check out our awesome sponsors!

Reboot - Read_750 - Capital in the 21st Century

What is capital, really? And what happens when Bitcoin forces a repricing of everything we think we know about it? In this reboot episode we're bringing back Capital in the 21st Century by Allen Farrington. A piece that explores the deep connection between money and capital - two concepts often conflated but fundamentally distinct. Farrington dismantles the illusion that money itself is wealth, arguing instead that it is merely a claim on wealth, a liquid mechanism for valuing the things we truly desire. He examines how Bitcoin reshapes our understanding of capital, entrepreneurship, and economic potential energy, weaving in insights from Austrian economics and beyond.
