Episode #1 of The Wake Up Podcast.
Now on Rumble, because it will surely be one day cancelled on YouTube.
I sharedmy take on the Real Vision interview between Raoul Pal and leading macro-economist Dan Tapiero. I dissected and reinterpreted the conversation to help people better understand the nature, benefits and philosophy of Bitcoin, whilst attempting to explain the nuances a little deeper.
I called their tendency to shitcoin, especially Raoul Pal's, back in 2019, and I was 100% right. Only, I was perhaps too soft.

Ep 72: Theology & Mythology. Money Messiah Pt 3 with John Vallis
"Money is to Markets, as God / Value is to Consciousness"
This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year.
If you've not yet listened to part 1 and 2, go back and listen to that first for fuller context.
Episode #70, and #71.
Part Three:
A discussion on Mythology & Theology.
Myths emerged as narratives as a means to teach us a meta.
Modes of being / operation.
Pagan, multi-variant gods as a map for multiple personalities for multiple contexts.
Mono-theistic god as the highest truth, the greatest good.
We ask a few thorny questions about Christianity and its expansion.
We talk about Nietzsche and "The Will to Power"
Who ask; "who defines good"?
And...Is there a thing such as a “greater good” ?
Is God:
The thing of highest value?
The thing of greatest truth?
The highest good?
The good is seeing / acting with a more truthful orientation.
Hence morality.
Hierarchies as an aggregate of values
The market as an aggregate of hierarchies
All of this, and a whole lot more.
Stay tuned for Part 4 and 5 of this mini-series!

Ep 71: Money Messiah Pt 2 with John Vallis
"The highest value becomes our god; the point where comparative values dissolve"
This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year.
If you've not yet listened to part 1, go back and listen to that first for fuller context. It's Episode #70.
Part two begins pulling apart the article itself starting with the big question:
What is value & where does it come from?
Key words that we use to help understand value are:
- Limitation
- Sacrifice
- Exclusion
- Selection
- Focus
- Prioritisation
All of course related to the concept of Hierarchies.
Another incredibly important idea that Jordan Peterson has popularised.
We then dive a little into:
- East VS West
- And how one is perhaps more liberation oriented, while the other more responsibility centric.
We talk about Nirvana and Satori.
Reaching a point where comparative values dissolve.
Is this state the "Apex state" and the goal we're aiming for, or just a way / direction?
We come up with the idea of "the interstitial nature of satori and value".
Then we related it to Spiral Dynamics.
This was a fascinating section.
We talk about "The highest value becomes our god"
We compare or relate everything against that primary value.
And a whole lot more.
Stay tuned for Part 3 of this mini-series!

This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year.

Ep 69. One Million Bitcoin Supply Cap w/ Knut Svanholm
This episode was going to be called the The Logan & Thor show.
Listen up to hear why.
In it, we dive into this idea of “The Sat Squeeze”
We discuss why 1 million Bitcoin (or less) will actually be available in the long run. The rest will be lost, frozen or inaccessible.
We explore The numerator VS the denominator in Knut’s now-famous “everything divided by 21m”
We ask:
- Does infinity or 1m come first?
- How do we know what’s lost / inaccessible?
- Why is bitcoin still $40k?
- What happens at Sat - cent parity.
We explore the idea of “knowing is owning”.
“When knowing is owning, the nature of institutions changes”
Knut calls us “The trial generation of Bitcoin” Which is true. We are the very beginning.
We discuss the idea of an “Informational element”
- Alchemists should’ve been looking to replicate the properties of gold
- Non-physical element
- Information is not just metaphorically valuable, but literally.
Knut’s New Book: Everything divided by 21 million available now:

FINAL WEEK to get The UnCommunist Manifesto at a discount on KickStarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/uncommunist/uncommunist-manifesto-fixing-what-the-original-got-wrong
In this episode, we dive into
- Anarchy
- Ayn Rand
- Her ability to articulate personas
- Society being a culmination of Fuck up after fuck up
- An orgy of deception
- Government means that the criminals go there
- Somalia, and why it exists
- How to deal with "the flawed man"

Building strong people.
The state weakens people.
We need thicker skin.
We must also know how to defend ourselves from the few "flawed men"
Leadership:
- A leader is he who places the right people in charge of the right things.
- Leadership confused with charge.
And we closed out with a discussion on the short story he wrote for The Bitcoin Times, entitled;

Ep 66. Technology & Tournament Males (Meta Series Pt 2)
Trav, aka Parabolic Trav, aka Meta Trav joins me again for Part 2 of the Meta Series.
In episode 2, we dive into:
- Technology
- Tournament Males (what they are, how they arose)
- The Code of Man
- Frame
- Chivalry
- Polygamy
- Hypergamy
- Evolution
- Religion
- Morality
- Feminism
- Adaptation & Fitness
This episode (in fact, this entire Series) is one to be listened to over again.
Some highlights:
"Evolution is like a difficulty adjustment"
"We transcend the environment, and then warp/change it, so we're then un-adapated, and have to adapt once again."
"The transition process is a crisis"
"The full manifestation of frame is sovereignty."
"Morality is a constraint"
"Feminine is unconstrained instinctual, and hence immoral"
"Polygamy is unstable, and destabilises the era of the tournament male"
"Religion comes along with monogamy to correct the instability"
Evolutionary Pressure on humans occurs quicker than what we're told, eg:
- Modern Hysterics (Homo Hystericus)
- Homo Bitcoinicus
What it means to be a Tournament male:
The tournament male trains to master the exponential technology of the day that can transform effort into disproportionate returns
Size difference over the women. They need to be physically imposing, physically dangerous. You need to work out. Be strong. Know how to fight. Be healthy.
You need to be smart.
You have to combine the cerebral and physical
Courage. Must be willing to stomach risk.
Must have options, and the attitude that comes with that.
Highly Generous. Always sharing with the tribe, and the lower classes.
Care about their bloodline. You become a higher status and you want to instantiate that in your offspring. They optimise "pure blood".
They're immune to guilt and propaganda.
They understand brotherhood. Tournament males in a group are exponentially more powerful than singular, competitive males. The pair bonder may be jealous and more inclined to betray bro's for hoes.
They do what they want to do. They're not
They care about how they look. Best dressed in the cultures.
TM's are always king head first into entropy
Ability to find a balance between courage and stupidity.
You're willing to bear the consequences of the frame you've chosen to project.
Responsibility and the age of responsibility.
Bitcoin is perfect frame.
Frame is responsibility
- Standards
- Interests
- Habits
Reconciling religious guilt VS not having guilt as a framed man.
- Guilt is when you deviate or break frame.
- Our goal as men is to unite with the ultimate frame of the divine.
How do you build this frame?
- Together. Brotherhood.
There is so much more.
Just get your ass in there and listen
Oh...and a resource:

Ep 65. The Bushido of Bitcoin with Erik Cason
***NOTICE***
Wake Up is now on The Fountain App (value for value).
https://play.fountain.fm/show/KGEglVpdWo4zXQWR3X7G
1000 sats for every new listener on fountain until the end of March !
***NOTICE***
Erik Cason joins me…AGAIN to talk about something we as Bitcoiners need to think about.
- A moral code.
- A list of virtues.
How we must conduct ourselves, for it is WE, The True Bitcoiners, who shall inherit the earth.
In this episode, we explore:
Why is conditioning so effective.
Nature VS Nurture.
Masters & Slaves
UBI - good / bad / dumb / accelerant?
Honesty & Privacy ?
Privacy = Selective Honesty.
What is Bushido?
- Japanese word that literally means "warrior way".
Bushi: "warrior" = literally 'military + man'.
Do: road, or way
Bushido is also used as an overarching term for all the codes, practices, philosophies and principles of samurai culture.
Bushido formalized earlier samurai moral values and ethical code, most commonly stressing a combination of sincerity, frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery and honour until death
It allowed the violent existence of the samurai to be tempered by wisdom, patience and serenity
A code often unuttered to unwritten.
Requires a rite of passage, and in order to become a Samurai, one must master this code.
Variations by clan, by tribe and by territory.
(Localism in action)
Similarities to the European concept of chivalry?
Differences to Chivalry?
Eight virtues of Bushidō (as defined by Nitobe Inazō):
- Righteousness (義, gi)
- Heroic Courage (勇, yū)
- Benevolence, Compassion (仁, jin)
- Respect (礼, rei)
- Honesty (誠, makoto)
- Honour (名誉, meiyo)
- Duty and Loyalty (忠義, chūgi)
- Self-Control (自制, jisei)
The Bushido of Bitcoin??
- Courage
- Responsibility
- Truth
- Respect
- Honour
- Honesty & Integrity
- Temperance / Low time preference
- Self Defence

Ep 64. Free Privat Cities
I’m joined by Titus Gebel creator of the Free Private Cities concept, CEO of Tipolis and Peter Young, MD of Free Private Cities Foundation.
In the midst of the political madness rampant in the world today, ie; a cold, scam war of the people over the past 2yrs wasn’t enough, so it’s now time for a hot war…..I wanted to explore alternatives and how we can work on getting the fuck out of this mess.
We covered a broad range of topics, including:
Why Free Private Cities change the incentive structure of the standard social Democratic political model, helping people lower their time preference and preserve capital into the future
Why it’s important to move beyond complaining about the status quo, and make a concrete business proposal backed by real investment
The progress that is being made in Free Private Cities-aligned projects like Próspera and Morazan in Honduras. What successes there have been and what risks there are to the projects
Why bitcoin will provide the financial infrastructure for Free Private Cities
Why Bitcoin City represents an opportunity for El Salvador to innovate in the realm of governance, in addition to their innovation in the realm of bitcoin adoption
How scale matters for governance
Welfare, Work & Immigration
Why do people push back on this idea when it’s so evidently superior?
Are the current incarnations of private cities fee-based or do they have to operate some form of tax model because of current statist & globalist organisations?
What does the future look like?
- Patchwork or league of private city-states?
- CEO-Kings
What are the risks?
- Contractual changes
- Relationship with host nation.
- Property acquired in a private city being confiscated.
The only long term way to ensure governments of any kind remain service providers, and not devolve into overlords, is to keep them economically accountable.
Without bitcoin, we don’t get private cities.
With Bitcoin, it’s not just necessary, it’s inevitable.
Placing the money in the realm of the physical laws on nature.
The most powerful private property.

Ep 63. Free Speech, Red Pill, Orange Pill
Matt Bilinksy, Media & entertainment & tech attorney in LA, Host of The prevailing narrative
Built a solid following online around speaking common sense.
We start with a bit of background and an origin story
- Personal life
- Inspirations
- Coming to terms with wtf is going on in Cali
Nature & Nurture
Why is free speech important?
Why is it important to be truthful?
Map & Territory
The dangers of not speaking freely (eg; self censoring)
When people are unwilling to gave good faith discussing within the boundaries of reasonable disagreement.
If you see a ghost, walk into it.
Making free speech profitable again.
Maslow's Hierarchy
America worked because of the frontiersman spirit and innovation.
Oil, Steel, Electricity and then the technology revolution.
Governance does not work at scale.
Look at USSR. Tried to merge everything altogether, it all fell apart.
Is the US better off without a federal government altogether?
Why Bitcoin, not Shitcoin
Shitcoiners are just looking to perpetuate the existing scam
How we change things and bring back sanity
Funding your Jailers
This is an Orange-Pill episode, and for those who area already familiar with my work, I hope it gives you insight into how to orange pill other Remnants.

Ep. 62 Nietzsche, Morality & Artificial Intelligence
Robert Malka, researcher, philosopher and Bitcoiner joins me for a monster episode to discuss Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, Morality, Bitcoin, Nietzsche and so much more.
We start with a bit of background and what has to be the most incredible origin stories I've ever heard.
- His experience having been born to deaf parents
- Some incredible stories growing up as child sign language interpreter
- Inspirations such as Nietzsche & Heidegger
- Ayahuasca and psychedelics
- When they're fiat and when they're actually useful.
- The productisation of psychedelics as panaceas to ailments and all the world's problems.
- Nature VS Nurture
We then dug into Philosophy & Morality
- Rousseau and Nietzsche
- Humanity is a a multi-generational process.
- A genius is a full answer to this process.
- How do you define morality?
- Living in accordance with evolution and life.
- Morality is the increase of carrying capacity of life.
- Aesthetics & Beauty, and their relationship to morality.
- Humour as a very interesting measure for humanity
The AI discussion:
The stakes of AI: Game-theoretically, if an AI is more powerful than we are, we'd have two choices:
1. a Libertarian AI or,
2. an Authoritarian AI,
- Which would win?
- What happens when AI becomes widely modifiable and accessible?
- Preferences and more importantly, which preferences?
- If subjective ones, are they rooted in morality or utilitarianism?
- The circular logic of using quantities to measure qualities
- What it means for an AI to be human-centered
Problem with The Standard Model:
Machines, similar to humans, are intelligent to the extent that their actions can be expected to achieve their objectives.
Instead:
"Machines are beneficial to the extent that their actions can be expected to achieve our objectives”
But more ethical and moral problems with this, and it's focus purely on utility as the outcome.
How does AI emerge?
Will we be programming it?
Or will it emerge and mimic us.
How does Bitcoin fix this?
The question will be one of whether or not we've baked morality into our DNA.
Homo Bitcoinicus.
There so much more in this episode.
You need to listen.
Finally, some books recommended by Robert include:
- The Drama of the gifted child: Alice Miller
- Emile: Rousseau
- Human Compatible: Stuart Russell
- Twilight of the Idols: Nietzsche
- Warspeak: Lise Van Boxel
- What is Life: Erwin Schrödinger
