Guest: Your Bitcoin IRA Is Not a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card | Adam O'Brien
Adam O'Brien has spent thirteen years trying to subtract counterparties from his life: the bank, the exchange, the custodian, anyone who could freeze, lend out, or lose his bitcoin. This summer proved that subtraction has a floor. The ColdCard entropy failure drained $116 million from people who did everything right, generating their own seed on a trusted device. The Liquid Network lost $320 million without a single key being stolen. Neither failure involved a custodian. In this episode, Adam walks through what he calls the counterparty ladder, a six-rung framework running from captured legacy retirement assets all the way to bitcoin purchased privately in self-custody, and makes the case that the real question was never "is this trustless," it's "which rung am I actually on." That framework is also the foundation for something Bitcoin Well is launching: a Bitcoin IRA, held custodially through BitGo, with a self-custody option coming after. Adam explains why a company built on non-custodial principles is launching a custodial product, what it would take for him to call the IRA a failure, and why he chose to say the quiet part out loud in the very article announcing it: a retirement account holds captured funds no matter what's inside it, bitcoin included.

Guest: Dr. Jeff Ross: Bitcoin Is the Separation of Money and State
Bitcoin is sitting near $84,000 heading into this conversation, 892 days past the halving, with sentiment firmly in greed and ETF demand still described as accumulating. Dr. Jeff Ross joins the podcast to explain why none of those numbers are the real story. Jeff argues that the separation of money and state is the next necessary evolution in a long historical pattern, the same kind of institutional unbundling that happened when church and state split centuries ago. He walks through where we are in the broader macro cycle, what a Fourth Turning framework says about the stress showing up in markets, sentiment, and policy right now, and why a system built on centrally controlled money cannot be patched, only replaced. We get into the mature, late-cycle conditions bitcoin is trading in today, what long-term holders and institutional flows are actually signaling versus what the headlines claim, and why Jeff thinks the current moment in markets is a symptom of something much larger than a single rate decision or ETF flow number. This is a big-picture conversation about markets, macro, and monetary history, for anyone trying to understand what's actually breaking and what bitcoin's role is in what comes next.

Reads: What Canada Couldn't Freeze: Freeland, the Rhodes Trust, and the Money the State Couldn't Reach
In February 2022, Chrystia Freeland told Canada's banks they could freeze accounts without a judge, and they froze 257 of them. Two courts have since ruled it unconstitutional. The Rhodes Trust, founded by Cecil Rhodes as (in his own words) a secret society to place its people where the levers are, made her CEO anyway. Zach reads his essay on what the state could reach and what it couldn't: the bank accounts it took in hours, the 14.6 Bitcoin hand-delivered to truckers in envelopes with handwritten seed phrases, and Nunchuk's reply to the court: "We do not hold any keys." Then Hülsmann's Ethics of Money Production explains why the freeze wasn't the system malfunctioning. It was the system working. Not your keys, not your coins, not your custody, not your say. Bitcoin Well exists so your Bitcoin lands in a wallet you hold, not an account someone will be told to freeze. Buy Bitcoin straight to self-custody at bitcoinwell.com.

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 the conventional wisdom that rate hikes are automatically bad for Bitcoin might not hold up this time. If there's time, we also push back hard on the framing around the Iran conflict, including the economic angle Ansel may not expect: the same energy shock driving oil prices up sharply is a direct contributor to the inflation the Fed is now hiking to fight.

Reads: The Rabbit Hole Has an Exit: 25 Years of 9/11 and Why I Ended Up in Bitcoin
In 2008, Zach sat down to read the official story of 9/11 so he could stop thinking about it. That was 18 years ago. This Reads episode walks the record, not the theories: Operation Northwoods and its 35-year classification, the Gulf of Tonkin attack that never happened, Colin Powell's vial, the 567-page Commission report that never mentions Building 7, and NIST conceding 2.25 seconds of freefall. Then it applies Rothbard's cui bono method to the whole quarter century and asks the question that finally matters: how does a state pay for a psyop and the war it sells? It prints. You don't have to agree about Building 7 to see why a money that can't be printed, with a ledger you can check yourself, is the peaceful exit. Just hold your own keys: leave it on an exchange and you've rebuilt the trust relationship you were escaping. Buy Bitcoin straight to your own wallet at bitcoinwell.com, promo code PODCAST.

Bitcoin Didn't Break. The $320M Shortcut Built on Top of It Did.
Liquid, the Blockstream sidechain built to give Bitcoin users faster and more private transactions, hit a consensus split this week and "white hat hackers" pulled $320 million out of it. Bitcoin itself never went down. The layer built on top of it did. Rob from Bitcoin News joins us to go deep on what actually happened with Liquid and why this keeps being the pattern: the same week, the ColdCard attacker moved 45 percent of previously stolen funds in a third wave, and Orionx, a Tether-backed Chilean exchange, shut down after an audit found $7 million in customer funds missing, leaving 100,000 users without refunds. We also get into the real debate of the week: Coinbase's new Bitcoin-backed mortgage product with Better Home & Finance, and whether that's genuine adoption or just Bitcoin becoming collateral for the same debt trap it was supposed to be an exit from. Plus the IMF quietly confirming El Salvador's Bitcoin strategy survived four years of pressure intact, AMC's CEO calling Robinhood's tokenized stock "contemptible," and what's actually at stake in the CLARITY Act's September 15 Senate vote.

Reads: Your Bank Account Is a Flock Camera
There is a camera on a pole near you right now, and it is photographing every car that passes. Adam O'Brien's essay "Jump Out of the Pot" turns that camera around and points it at your bank account: the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act that made banks informants, the 1976 Supreme Court ruling that made your financial records the bank's property instead of yours, and the 257 Canadian accounts frozen in hours for a perfectly legal donation. Financial privacy isn't about hiding bad things. It's protection against a government that changes the definition of bad things after the fact. The code already protects your coins.
