What Bitcoin Did

Mark Goodwin is a journalist and author at Unlimited Hangout. In this episode, he breaks down what the Epstein files reveal about Bitcoin's origins and the connections between the Epstein network, the PayPal mafia, and the creation of Tether. We get into whether Bitcoin has been co-opted, the role of stablecoins in extending dollar hegemony, and why the Bitcoin community needs to refocus on building peer-to-peer freedom tools.

Joe Consorti is a Market Analyst & Head of Growth at Horizon. In this episode, he breaks down one of Bitcoin’s most volatile days since the 2022 bear market. We unpack what’s really driving the selloff, why this isn’t a Bitcoin-native event, and how risk appetite, credit spreads, and Fed policy are shaping the move and the future. We also look at ETF behaviour, the dollar, and why Bitcoin may be deeply mispriced at current levels.

James Lavish is a macro investor, former hedge fund manager, and managing partner at the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund. We discuss the emerging debt spiral, why the bond market no longer trusts policymakers, and why rate cuts don’t mean what they used to. James breaks down why the Fed is backed into a corner on money printing, monetary mechanics and the math behind the headlines, and how gold, silver, and Bitcoin are responding to stress in the system.

Brandon Black is a Bitcoin software engineer. In this episode we discuss why quantum computing is unlikely to threaten Bitcoin in the foreseeable future, how exaggerated claims around qubit scaling and Shor’s algorithm distort the real risk, what concrete evidence would actually force Bitcoin to act, and how questions around soft forks, post quantum cryptography, property rights, and confiscation should be framed if progress ever becomes real.
