Supply Shock

In this episode, Didi Taihuttu—aka the "Bitcoin Family" patriarch—shares the origin story behind selling everything to go all-in on Bitcoin, from early GPU mining and Dogecoin experiments to surviving bear markets and living unbanked for nearly a decade. He discusses why he believes Bitcoin is the only true tool for financial freedom, the moral cost of traditional finance, and how the rise of stablecoins, Lightning, and crypto infrastructure shape a new global reality. Plus, how Bitcoin can empower machines, children, and the next generation of digital nomads. Enjoy!

Bitcoin Core vs. The World: Why It Can’t Be Shut Down | Peter Todd

In this special interview live from Permissionless IV, Rizzo sits down with Bitcoin OG &amp; Core developer Jeff Garzik to reflect on Bitcoin’s early days, the culture shift from experimentation to ossification, and his belief that Bitcoin’s social and monetary network would have emerged regardless of specific developers. Garzik critiques Lightning as a failed detour, champions Layer 2s like Hemi for bringing programmability to Bitcoin, and stresses that Ethereum remains vital due to its developer traction and audit maturity.

Empire | Introducing the Token Transparency Framework

In this episode, Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo joins the Milk Road Show to share his thesis on the coming explosion of Bitcoin treasury companies and why they may drive the next major inflow into Bitcoin. He explains why stablecoins and NFTs were once ignored just like Bitcoin treasuries are now, why thousands of firms—not dozens—might soon hold BTC, and how this could mirror past crypto waves like CoinMarketCap and the ICO boom. The episode also touches on meme coins, regulatory bottlenecks, tokenized stocks, Bitcoin vs. crypto culture, and more. Enjoy!

The panel breaks down Dorsey’s developer-first, decentralized payments push versus Saylor’s Wall Street-centric, corporate treasury strategy.

Bitcoin Visions Collide: Jack Dorsey vs. Michael Saylor

He reflects on the shifting ethos of Bitcoin—from its cypherpunk roots to political adoption and corporate backing—while warning that many early believers have lost touch with the tech’s evolution. Miller also defends his engagement with meme coins and argues that Bitcoin remains a foundational freedom technology. Enjoy!

He Bought Bitcoin at $80 — Why He's Buying at $100,000 | Isaac Miller

In this episode, veteran Bitcoin developer Matt Corallo joins to discuss why second layers like Lightning and Ark are essential for scaling Bitcoin — and why current laws put them at risk. He breaks down the regulatory blind spots threatening non-custodial wallet developers, and advocates for the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act to preserve open-source Bitcoin innovation in the U.S. Corallo also challenges Bitcoin's cultural orthodoxy, pushing for realism on decentralization, L2 tradeoffs, and the future of meaningful development. We cover Bitcoin maximalism, scaling via hybrid wallets, legal tail risks to L2s, and more. Enjoy!

Bitcoin, Not Blockchain: Wall Street’s Big Flip

In this episode, Rizzo &amp; Nolan Bauerle dive into the race between MicroStrategy and BlackRock to become the largest holders of Bitcoin. They compare Michael Saylor’s singular, leveraged BTC accumulation strategy with Larry Fink’s sprawling ETF-driven approach at BlackRock. They explore how each firm’s structure, incentives, and regulatory realities impact their ability to scale Bitcoin ownership—and debate whether MicroStrategy could evolve into a Bitcoin-native version of BlackRock, or if BlackRock could out-stack Saylor’s empire.

Sweden’s Bitcoin Bombshell: Selling Gold, Buying Bitcoin? | Dennis Dioukarev

In this episode, Bitcoin Developer Sergio Lerner joins the show to discuss Bitcoin’s latest development battles–from the OP_RETURN data wars to the future of programmable Bitcoin through BitVMX. He argues that filtering Bitcoin transactions restricts innovation, outlines the real-world financial use cases enabled by protocols like RSK, and explains how new Bitcoin Layer 2s can enhance scalability and security without altering Bitcoin’s base layer. We also touch on Bitcoin’s long-term viability, mining centralization, and the cultural rift with broader crypto. Enjoy!
