Financial Repression in the Age of Superintelligence
America can’t build its own defense equipment, robots, or AI hardware anymore, and Craig Tindale says that’s a national security crisis. Drawing on Alexander Hamilton and Dwight Eisenhower, he explains why decades of offshoring left the U.S. dependent on its rivals for critical metals. He also explains why he sees AI as a race to automate the world and build an impenetrable defense network.

Congressman Warren Davidson: The Future of Money Will Decide Western Civilization
America is carrying $40 trillion in debt, and the dollar has lost about 30% of its purchasing power since 2020. Rep. Warren Davidson, founder of the Sound Money Caucus, explains why rising default risk and inflation are pushing rates higher, and why he believes people without real assets will lose purchasing power. He also warns that the future of Western civilization is centrally tied to the future of money.

Economist Per Bylund: AI, the End of Employment & the Rise of Entrepreneurship
AI is changing how we work, but can it replace the human entrepreneur? Austrian economist Per Bylund, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, joins Spencer Nichols to explain why AI is a statistical engine that improves efficiency but can't imagine the future. He argues we're moving from an employment economy to an entrepreneurship economy, and explains what that means for jobs, innovation, and value creation.

Billionaire Investor Tim Draper: “Irresponsible” for Apple & Meta NOT to Hold BTC
Government spending hasn't slowed, and Tim Draper says that leaves only two real outcomes: hyperinflation or interest rates high enough to break banks. In this Bitcoin Magazine Podcast conversation with host Spencer Nichols, the Draper Associates founder makes the case that every business should hold at least four weeks of operating expenses in Bitcoin, every individual about six months, and every government a Bitcoin hedge. He explains why he considers boards that hold zero Bitcoin to be exposed — legally and financially — when a bank holding their cash goes under. Draper also maps his $250,000 Bitcoin price target to the next halv...

Arthur Hayes: Why Bitcoin is the Fastest Horse in the Yield Curve Control Era
When the Treasury doubled its bond buyback out of the blue, the market read it as one thing: yield curve control by another name. Arthur Hayes joins host Spencer Nichols to walk through the mechanics, short-end issuance funding long-end buybacks, and what that implies for central bank balance sheets. His conclusion is simple. If the balance sheet expands, you want the asset most responsive to money printing, and he argues that asset is Bitcoin.

Coinbase’s John D’Agostino: Why Bitcoin Doesn’t Need the Clarity Act to Win
Everyone keeps asking what the "big catalyst" for Bitcoin will be, but Coinbase's Head of Institutional Strategy John D'Agostino says that's the wrong question entirely.
