NEW EPISODE Your AI agent is about to need a wallet. It's going to rent compute, buy API credits, and pay for services. Right now most people solve this by handing over their credit card. That means every transaction your agent makes is in your name, on your card, and tied to your identity. @Roland at @npub1geta...0nfm built another way. We talk about what self-custody looks like when the machines start spending and why the infrastructure Bitcoiners built for human freedom turns out to be exactly what agents need. S03E07 is available now.

NEW EPISODE “All it takes is the political will or the political mistake to turn it on. And it's there.” John Robb flew Tier 1 special operations, built tech companies, and now maps how surveillance scales. His assessment: every piece of a totalitarian AI system already exists. An AI assigned to every person. Real-time manipulation. Automated punishment. All assembled by corporations building normal products. What stops it, according to Robb? Not much. Not Bitcoin. Not encryption. What individuals can do: pair with AI now, control it locally, stop feeding centralized systems your intelligence. S03E04 is out now for supporters, tomorrow for all:

NEW EPISODE “The big concern is the emailification of Bitcoin.” @npub1art8...m0w5 spent 13 years covering Bitcoin and wrote The Genesis Book tracing its lineage back to DigiCash in the 90s. His warning: the protocol survives, but everyone interacts through custodial middlemen. SMTP still exists. Nobody runs their own mail server. We talk pre-Bitcoin failures, the block size wars, mining centralization, and why incremental regulation is a bigger threat than a 51% attack. S03E03 is out now for supporters, tomorrow for all.

NEW EPISODE Enron had “integrity” on the wall. FTX didn't bother. Both collapsed. Jason Hughey on why organizational betrayal isn't random—it's designed in. The same signal suppression that starved Soviet grocery stores is happening in your company's Slack channels. His fix: Principle Based Management. Hire for virtue over talent. Let decisions flow to people with local knowledge. Stop treating employees like resources. S03E02: Companies Don't Keep Promises. People Do. Out now for supporters, public tomorrow.

NEW EPISODE Spotify and Apple combined hold 30% of podcast listeners. Joe Rogan took $100M to go exclusive on Spotify. For two years, he was invisible to 70% of his potential audience. Couldn't be shared. Couldn't go viral—while watching Lex and Huberman fill the gap. Then he reversed it. @Oscar Merry, cofounder and CEO of @npub1v5uf...n0v5, on why open wins. S03E01 is available now for supporters, tomorrow for all. https://fountain.fm/episode/muP1tUHZyoQJkqw5WHKc

NEW ESSAY “Support the show” is charity language. “Make me uncancellable” is a product. That's what voluntary payment actually offers. Not mass adoption—fifty years of data killed that dream. An exit when Patreon bans you, PayPal freezes your account, or your bank decides your business doesn't align with their values. The 5% who pay aren't your revenue. They're your lifeboat. Adapted from S02E14: Why Ads Keep Winning.

NEW EPISODE Twitter verification used to mean something. Now it means you paid $8. Meta employees need permission to remove spammers if their ad budget is high enough. @Pip the WoT guy built the alternative on Web of Trust. Reputation computed from your actual social graph, not from a company that can flip a switch and erase you. S02E16 Pippellia – Reputation Without a Kill Switch

NEW EPISODE Voluntary payment has never cracked 5% adoption. Fifty years of trying. NPR, Radiohead, Patreon, Nostr zaps. Human nature doesn't change. So why build #V4V rails at all? Because when Patreon banned creators in 2018, lightning worked. When SubscribeStar got cut off by Stripe and PayPal, sats kept moving. That creator you zap? You're not tipping them. You're making them uncancellable. S02E14: trustrevolution.co https://fountain.fm/episode/nx8jCK6OGhKpTsOI85E3
