    The Bitcoin Series - Part 16: What If the U.S. Adopted Bitcoin as a Reserve?
    Aug 4 2025
    Episode 16: What If the U.S. Adopted Bitcoin as a Reserve?
    Could the U.S. really put Bitcoin on its balance sheet?

    In this episode, we explore what it would actually mean for the U.S. to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset — and what the ripple effects could be.

    Would it back the dollar with Bitcoin, or simply hold BTC like it does gold?
    Could the Federal Reserve still manage interest rates and respond to crises?
    Would such a move restore trust, or throw the existing financial order into chaos?

    We unpack the possibilities, tradeoffs, and long-term implications of a world where America bets big on Bitcoin.

    The Bitcoin Series - Part 15: What If Bitcoin Fails?
    Exit scenarios, vulnerabilities, and honest critique.

    Bitcoin is often described as unstoppable. Immutable. Revolutionary.
    But what if it isn’t?

    In this episode, we explore the uncomfortable possibilities:
    Could Bitcoin be co-opted by the very institutions it set out to disrupt?
    Could it be broken by bugs, quantum computing, or internal fractures?
    Could it simply be outcompeted by something faster, shinier, or easier to use?
    And if it does fail — what lessons do we carry forward?

    This isn’t an episode about fear. It’s an episode about clarity. Because understanding Bitcoin’s vulnerabilities might be the key to understanding its real strength — and its limits.

    The Bitcoin Series - Part 14: What does The Future of Work and Bitcoin look like?
    How Bitcoin might reshape labor and employment

    In a world where banks aren’t the gatekeepers and borders don’t define your paycheck, what does “work” even mean? In Part 14, we dive into the intersection of Bitcoin and the future of labor.

    What does it mean to get paid in Bitcoin? Can decentralized tech like DAOs create new jobs, new economies, or even a new labor movement? And what happens to wage work, unions, and worker protections in a world where the system no longer runs on fiat?

    Whether you’re a freelancer, a union organizer, or just someone trying to make sense of the changing job market — this episode is for you.

    The Bitcoin Series - Part 13: Bitcoin and the Global South.
    Adoption in emerging economies.

    While Bitcoin adoption in the West is driven by investment, speculation, and ideology in the Global South, it’s driven by necessity.

    In this episode, we explore why countries like Nigeria, Argentina, and El Salvador are becoming hotspots for Bitcoin use. From hyperinflation and currency controls to remittances and digital inclusion, we unpack the real-world pressures that make Bitcoin more than just a buzzword.

    What does financial freedom look like in places where the system has failed? And can Bitcoin truly empower the people it promises to serve? Let's take a look at Bitcoin not as a trend, but as a tool.

    The Bitcoin Series - Part 12: How Will Governments Try to Control Bitcoin?
    Regulation, taxation, and central bank responses.

    Bitcoin was designed to exist outside of government control—but that doesn’t mean governments will sit back and do nothing.

    In this episode, we explore the ways places around the world are already trying to regulate, restrict, co-opt, and control Bitcoin. From surveillance laws and licensing schemes to censorship, taxation, and propaganda, we dig into the quiet chess game unfolding between sovereign citizens and centralized power.

    Can Bitcoin survive regulation? Can it be banned? Or will it simply route around everything in its path?

    Let’s break down the tactics in this episode.

    The Bitcoin Series - Part 11: The Bitcoin Culture Wars.
    The toxicity, purity tests, and political divides within Bitcoin.

    Bitcoin isn’t just a technology, it’s become a battleground. And in this episode, we explore how Bitcoin has been pulled into the heart of modern culture wars. Where ideology, identity, and influence clash over what this technology means, and who it’s for.

    We unpack how Bitcoin has been co-opted, championed, misunderstood, and weaponized by libertarians, anarchists, tech bros, populists, progressives, and everyone in between.
    Is Bitcoin truly neutral? Or is it becoming a mirror of the society trying to shape it?

    Let’s step out from it all and look at what’s really happening beneath the memes and headlines.

    The Bitcoin Series Part 10 — Can Bitcoin Be Truly Private?
    Surveillance, privacy, and digital freedom.

    Is Bitcoin really anonymous — or just pseudonymous? In Part 10 of The Bitcoin Series, we dive deep into the truth about Bitcoin’s privacy. We unpack tools like CoinJoin and the Lightning Network, and explore the growing tension between financial freedom and increasing surveillance.

    In a world of KYC, digital IDs, and CBDCs on the rise, can privacy survive at all? And is Bitcoin our best chance to protect it?

    This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered whether decentralization is enough — or whether we need to actively defend our right to be left alone.

    Why it matters: This digs into one of Bitcoin’s core promises — financial privacy — and explores both its strengths and limitations in the face of increasing surveillance capitalism.

    The Bitcoin Series - Part 9: Bitcoin and the Environment Coexist?
    Energy, sustainability, and the climate.

    In this episode, we dive into one of the most controversial debates in the Bitcoin world: energy. Is Bitcoin’s proof-of-work model a dangerous climate liability — or a misunderstood feature that could actually accelerate the renewable transition?

    We explore:
    • Whether Bitcoin's energy use is wasteful or purposeful
    • How it compares to emissions from traditional banking and military systems
    • Real-world examples of Bitcoin mining helping fund clean energy in Texas, El Salvador, and beyond

    Spoiler: it’s not as simple as “good” or “bad.” This is a story about tradeoffs, transformation, and the fight for a sustainable future.

    Energy, climate, freedom — can they work together?
