In this episode of Cypherpunk'd, we sit down with the legendary Knut Svanholm–Bitcoin philosopher, former sea captain, and the mind behind the iconic "Everything Divided by 21 Million" meme.  We explore the unbelievable, almost accidental origin story of how a single sentence he couldn't be bothered to proofread became a global Bitcoin anthem, tattooed on bodies and championed by figures like Michael Saylor. Knut reveals his journey from captaining tall ships and fronting a viral grunge rock band on The Pirate Bay to becoming a leading voice for Bitcoin sovereignty.  He shares his controversial view that Bitcoin isn't a cult but rather an escape from the "fiat cult" that requires blind belief.  We also get the inside story on why he was blocked by crypto pioneer Andreas Antonopoulos. Join us as we discuss absolute scarcity, digital liberty, and what happens to a philosopher when his mission is finally accomplished. #KnutSvanholm #Bitcoin #Cypherpunkt #Crypto #Web3 #DigitalLiberty #AndreasAntonopoulos #MichaelSaylor

CJ Konstantinos, 10-year Bitcoin veteran and founder of People's Reserve, breaks down how broken money creates social violence and why Bitcoin is humanity's only escape from the $37 trillion debt spiral destroying America. CJK connects the dots between a broken monetary system and the social decay and violence we're witnessing today, including the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. He explains his core thesis of Bitcoin as "engineered money"—a technological upgrade to gold—and how it serves as a "truth machine" in a world of lies.

In this explosive episode of Cypherpunk’d, we sit down with Dr. K, CTO of Quai Network, to uncover a breakthrough that could redefine blockchain, economics, and money itself. From dismantling Vitalik’s blockchain trilemma to building a system that mirrors a grand unified theory of physics, Dr. K reveals how his team solved scaling in a way no one else dared to attempt. We dig into PoEM (Proof of Entropy Minima), multi-way graphs, causal invariance, and why Chi—Quai’s energy-based currency—is designed not to replace Bitcoin, but the U.S. dollar itself. Along the way, we dive into macroeconomics, thermoeconomics, and how tying money to physics could create the first truly decentralized, stable, censorship-resistant unit of account. Whether you’re a Bitcoiner, an Ethereum dev, or a skeptic, this is one conversation you can’t afford to miss.

In our latest interview, Dr. K @mechanikalk from @QuaiNetwork sits down with @MattyIceSensei and explains how Gresham's Law creates a fatal paradox: Bitcoin is TOO GOOD as money, so people hoard it instead of spending it. 70% of crypto transactions happen in stablecoins - not BTC or ETH. That's not adoption, that's dependency on fiat systems. Even if Lightning could do 50k TPS tomorrow, there's still the core problem: would YOU sign an employment contract paying 2 BTC/year with no dollar reference? Probably not. And that's exactly the issue. The solution?  Tune in to find out.

What if everything you know about blockchain scaling is wrong? What if proof-of-work could outperform proof-of-stake at massive scale while maintaining true decentralization? In Episode 2 of our Quai Network deep dive, CTO Dr. K breaks down their revolutionary PoEM (Proof of Entropy Minima) consensus mechanism - a next-generation proof-of-work algorithm that eliminates selfish mining, enables instant finality, and scales to 100,000+ TPS through merge mining and sharding. We explore: Why proof-of-work is the ONLY way to truly scale (controversial take) How PoEM solves Bitcoin's selfish mining problem The genius of merge mining across Prime, Region, and Zone chains Why their approach could replace Visa/MasterCard GPU mining vs ASIC centralization Building circular economies without fiat on-ramps   This isn't just another scaling solution - it's a complete reimagining of what's possible with proof-of-work. Dr. K doesn't just explain the tech; he proves why everything else is a compromise. The future of money might look very different than you think.

Is the current financial system a giant Ponzi scheme? According to Quai Network co-founder Dr. K, the numbers don't lie. A shocking 97% of all US dollars in existence were printed in just the last 18 years, leading to a system of "mouse-click money" that disproportionately hurts the average person while benefiting a select few. In this explosive episode, @MattyIceSensei sits down with @MechanikAlk (Dr. K) of @QuaiNetwork to dissect the systemic rot at the heart of the fiat monetary system. They explore how concepts like "paper gold" are used to manipulate markets, why the current power structure resembles a kleptocracy, and how the coming financial crisis could dwarf anything we've seen before. Dr. K breaks down why most of the crypto ecosystem is still dangerously tethered to the old world through centralized stablecoins like USDT and USDC, and lays out the fundamental mission of Quai Network: to build a completely independent, scalable Proof-of-Work system that finally allows humanity to defect from fiat.
