Description

Murch joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about Bitcoin Core's approach to mempool policies, OP_RETURN limits, and the practical challenges of fighting non-monetary data like inscriptions on the blockchain. He explains why harm reduction through flexible scripting and miner incentives may be more effective than strict enforcement, while pushing back on claims that developers are enabling spam or ignoring censorship resistance. From Lightning's early days to the realities of node running and block space demand, this technical deep dive explores Bitcoin's balance between innovation, decentralization, and long-term resilience.

Pierre Rochard joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about Bitcoin's financial evolution, from his early Lightning Network innovations to defending miners against political attacks and now leading the charge on corporate treasury companies like MicroStrategy and Riot. They dive into the debate over self-custody versus financialized Bitcoin products, the risks and rewards of leveraging debt to stack BTC, and how bridging fiat institutions could accelerate adoption in a world where fiat's collapse looms.

Anil Patel joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about Michael Saylor's Bitcoin treasury playbook, from the 2020 inflation panic that prompted MicroStrategy's first 10K BTC buys to the debt-financed "gears" now holding over 250,000 BTC with yields far below Bitcoin's projected 30% annual growth. They explore Saylor's board orange-pilling via his Mobile Wave thesis, the "bicycle gears" model for layered yield products like preferred shares and convertibles, and Bitcoin's first-principles design as engineered economic energy. Anil's new book The Treasury of Michael Saylor visualizes these strategies, emphasizing custody risks and why corporate treasuries like MicroStrategy enhance but cannot supplant individual self-custody.

Peter St Onge joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to reveal how Bitcoin shatters 1,000-year empire money cycles, exposes fiat collapse, and flips inflation theft via Cantillon effects—plus Europe's looming 2025 meltdown and Bitcoin as the ultimate escape. As an Austrian economist, he demystifies why governments bungled banning Bitcoin, why hard money empowers the poor, and how tech like the internet echoes Gutenberg 2.0 for liberty. Dive into praxeology, statism critiques, and why Bitcoin reduces violence incentives in this must-watch for sovereign individuals.
