Terence Michael hosts an open-floor Bitcoin Today room that starts with the simplest question in personal finance: what actually preserves savings when bonds sit doing nothing for decades and the 401k is supposed to be fine? The room builds a working elevator pitch for Bitcoin, from 17 years of persistence to self-custody, the circle of trust, and why a crisis is what finally makes people question everything. The throughline is practical: stop cherry-picking timeframes, keep your own keys, and judge money by what it preserves, not what it promises.Loren and Terence host Bitcoin Today live on X, weekdays at 8:30 AM PT.X: @lorenhodl, @proofofmoneyChapters:0:00:00 Information overload opens the show0:12:34 Bonds sat doing nothing for decades0:15:00 How do you save?

Loren Hodl and the Bitcoin Today room work through the quantum FUD cycle, paper Bitcoin, and what actually secures a blockchain, from hacked-coin scenarios to the nominal amounts that matter. The room debates whether any other chain can ever reach Bitcoin's decentralization, why the top 10 from 2016 looks nothing like today, and what evidence would change their minds. The show closes on the gold flip: at least 10 years out, against a $30 trillion market cap, and what a $15 trillion Ethereum would mean for the thesis.Loren and Terence host Bitcoin Today live on X, weekdays at 8:30 AM PT.X: @lorenhodl and @proofofmoneyYouTube segment: https://youtu.be/iUl5bUCXGggChapters:00:00 Paper Bitcoin fears open the show10:39 Paper Bitcoin ends Bitcoin?24:05 Quantum: hacked coins spent today33:00 Quantum fix is 3 to 5 years out39:07 The wheel of fortune of FUD48:04 Quantum: look at the nominal amount54:00 Exchange inflows: the real resource1:03:00 What counts as a shitcoin1:06:08 Venmo vs blockchain settlement1:12:01 What is a blockchain?1:12:48 No other chain reaches decentralization1:13:20 Decentralization is a spectrum1:33:01 Minted Bitcoin just cease to exist1:45:00 Bitcoin outlives a 40-year horizon1:49:02 Top 10 from 2016 looks way different1:51:00 When Bitcoin flips gold: 10 years1:51:54 Gold's market cap is $30 trillion1:58:31 Closer: All We Do Is Win
Roberto argues Japan is the monetary experiment lab for the West: thirty years of QE, QQE, and yield curve control that never created growth, with yield curve control next for the United States if a bond market crisis hits. He calls the BIS the head of the Medusa and makes the finale case that Bitcoin solves the Triffin dilemma, because a reserve asset with no host country cannot break one, unlocking $20 to $40 trillion in daily trade liquidity and forced nation-state adoption.

The builder of EntropyLab, a single-file offline Bitcoin key and wallet calculator, argues your seed words are only as trustworthy as the entropy that created them, and that after the Coldcard failure no hardware wallet should generate your 24 words in secret. TC lays out the contradiction at the heart of Bitcoin security and the fix: roll your own entropy, create your own words, verify everything yourself.

Attorney Joe Carlasare argues proof of reserves proves nothing about a Bitcoin treasury company's solvency, because FTX showed addresses for Bitcoin it never had.
