🎙️ About This Episode

Jackson, Michael, and Liam convene from Palm Beach to unpack one of the more chaotic weeks in recent memory. The Jane Street / Terra Luna lawsuit has resurfaced old questions about algorithmic stablecoins, market manipulation, and whether bitcoin's price action is as organic as people assume.

The crew also digs into a deeply underappreciated threat: the convergence of leaked personal data, LLM de-anonymization tools, and appreciating bitcoin wealth, and what that means for holders who haven't thought seriously about custody and physical security. The episode closes on an optimistic note, with a spirited conversation about why AI and bitcoin are accelerating together, and how Bitcoiners can use the current moment to stack more sats.
