At BTC Prague, Tony Yazbeck took the stage immediately after Michael Saylor — and the contrast couldn't have been more striking. In this week's Bitcoin Banter, Michael, Tony, and Katie break down Tony's personal keynote, the temperature in the room, and their biggest takeaways from the conference. The team also issues an urgent warning about a sophisticated phishing scam targeting CoinKite customers with fake letters about quantum cryptography updates.



The episode also covers fake Sparrow Wallet apps that have been stealing Bitcoin from App Store users, twin July 1st regulatory deadlines — Australia's travel rule attaching identity data to self-custody withdrawals, and the EU's MiCA rules set to knock out 80% of exchanges serving European customers. And finally, a freshly resigned leader earns himself our Donkey of the Week.

In episode 118 of The Bitcoin Way Podcast, Michael Jordan sits down with Bram Kanstein, host of the Bitcoin for Millennials podcast, to explain why almost nothing you think you own is truly yours — and why Bitcoin is the only real way out.

Bram argues that millennials are uniquely primed to understand Bitcoin: they came of age as the promised path of study, job, house, and retirement quietly stopped working, and having lived the shift from analog to digital, they instinctively grasp what digital scarcity really means.

The conversation covers why the money in your bank legally isn't yours, why your stocks are just database entries held by the DTCC, why even a paid-off home is owned by permission, the hidden 'second job' of fighting inflation, and why Bitcoin is the one asset you can actually verify and hold yourself.

Essential viewing for anyone serious about understanding Bitcoin’s real promise — and what it actually means to truly own something.

The UK social media ban is here — and it’s a warning sign for the rest of us. In this week’s Bitcoin Banter, Tony and Katie join Michael to break down Keir Starmer’s Labour government plan to ban social media for under-16s, and the unintended (or intended?) consequences for online privacy, free speech, and digital freedom in Orwell’s 1984 Britain.



The team also unpacks the rise of the world’s first trillionaire, Elon Musk; the dangerous concentration of the S&P 500 in a handful of AI stocks; the Trump family’s crypto windfall while everyday investors lose out; and of course our Donkey of the Week, who’s begging Trump for a presidential pardon.



From Big Brother Britain to taking self-custody of your Bitcoin, this episode is about protecting your money, your privacy, and your freedom.

War, inflation, and growing government surveillance have made a “Plan B” residency more essential than ever. In this special edition of Bitcoin Banter, Michael and Tony sit down with entrepreneur Adam Hudson to count down the top 5 reasons you should get a second residency, citizenship, or passport abroad. This episode breaks down how to build real freedom and financial sovereignty.

Drawing on Adam’s own journey from Australia to Panama, the conversation covers offshore residency, second passports, territorial tax systems, self-custody Bitcoin, privacy and cybersecurity, and how everyday people (not just the rich) can create an exit plan in an increasingly restrictive world. Whether you’re an Australian, a Bitcoiner, or anyone seeking more freedom and optionality, this is your roadmap to getting started.
