In this end-of-year recap, our guests: Adam Back, Peter Todd, John Carvalho, Jameson Lopp, Rockstar Dev, Martti Malmi, Trace Mayer, Alex B, Pierre Rochard, Jimmy Song, Jack Kruse, Mike Peterson, Nicolas Burtey, Willy Woo, Ben Perrin, Abubakar Nur Khalil, Jeff Booth, Derek Ross, and Max Kei challenge the narratives. We unpack what actually made Bitcoin launch, explain mining, explore how Bitcoin scales beyond Lightning, and examine the real risks facing Bitcoin Core, stablecoins, and censorship resistance. From Nostr and digital identity to government failure and capital fleeing broken systems, El Salvador’s frustrations, environmentalism exposed, the challenges and realities behind gold verification, and why building Bitcoin businesses remains the toughest industry of all.
