Quantum computing timelines are shrinking faster than most Bitcoiners realize and the latest Google research just made the attack 20x easier. Shinobi sits down with Ethan Heilman, research fellow at MIT's DCI lab, to separate quantum panic from quantum reality. They cover Q-day timelines, why algorithmic breakthroughs are the scariest threat, and how BIP 360 and post-quantum signatures could protect the network.

"They're funding institutional businesses with lower interest rates by stealing from retail and they don't want you to know this." BitGo CEO Mike Belshe criticizes the traditional banking system in this episode of the Bitcoin Magazine Podcast.

He also shares the most wrong he's ever been about Bitcoin and it's not what you'd expect.

Every popular stablecoin โ Tether, USDC โ is ultimately backed by US Treasuries, which means a handful of entities can freeze, seize, or censor your funds at will. In this conversation, David Seroy of Alpen Labs explains to Bitcoin Magazine's Shinobi why a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin is the credible alternative the space has been missing. They cover the immutable Liquity protocol, Bitcoin ZK rollups, and how to mint a dollar that inherits Bitcoin's security.

Rep. Nick Begich, R-Alaska, reached Congress by an unusual route: founding software companies and holding Bitcoin since 2013. BPI's David Zell sat down with him at PubKey to talk about how a builder's instincts shape the way he legislates, his bill to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S., and the policy questions AI is raising faster than Washington can answer.
The conversation covers everything from Begich's 440 coins on Mt. Gox to the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA). They dive into the ~93-year cycle of global reserve currencies, the "untethering" of money from scarcity, and Begich's belief that AI's hardest problem is the "disintermediation of purpose" rather than unemployment. They close on UBI, Alaska's Permanent Fund as a model of citizen ownership, and what's next for the budget and healthcare.

Is the four-year cycle dead, or is it about to be right on time again? Benjamin Cowen joins Brandon Green to argue that narrative follows price โ not the other way around โ and that everyone calling for "this time is different" said the same thing in 2017, 2021, and again in 2025. Cowen walks through the macro headwinds facing Bitcoin, what a new Fed chair like Kevin Warsh can and can't do, and why a midterm-year reset is the most likely path forward. Plus: his controversial take on Bitcoin treasury companies and why he believes they'll eventually underperform Bitcoin itself.
