In preparation for his LIVE AT PUBKEY show downstairs, ⁠Erik Cason (author of Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin) grabs a cold one with host ⁠Thomas Pacchia in the PubKey NYC Parlor, where they let loose for an UNFILTERED conversation about:

• How Bitcoin introduced a new form of political power that will reshape the structure of nation-states

• Why fiat’s century-long decay (from greenbacks to 1971 to the GFC) created today’s nihilism, instability, and rising extremism

• What Bitcoiners get WRONG about central bankers, Cantillon dynamics, and the moral psychology behind money printing

• The coming clash between custodial Bitcoin (ETFs, treasuries) and self-sovereign Bitcoin

• Why AI and proprietary language models are becoming the new battleground for human autonomy

• How generational resentment, collapsing institutions, and political polarization could push America toward a Weimar-style fork

• Why REAL self-sovereignty demands new hardware, new UX, and a cultural shift toward running your own stack

• Whether Bitcoiners must eventually organize politically to avoid both authoritarian capture and extremist backlash
