Episode Details

Get ready for a mind-bending episode of Bitcoin Today Recast, recorded live on Tuesday, April 09, 2025, with the sharpest voices in Bitcoin and macroeconomics—zero bots, all signal. We kick off with the topic of the day: escalating tariff madness rocking the markets. George (Infra) dives deep into how this chaos is rippling through bonds and beyond. Then, we welcome special guest Troy Cross, a Reed College philosophy professor and OG Bitcoiner, who steals the show. Troy dishes on his multimillion-dollar sock collection, Bitcoin mining, energy, and a whirlwind of other topics with wit and wisdom. After an hour, Troy exits, and Joe C storms in, sparking a fiery debate with the crew about Trump, tariffs, and the philosophy driving this economic rollercoaster. Mid-debate, breaking news hits: the US government capitulates, and Bitcoin’s price starts spiking in real time. Simon Dixon, Darkside, Terence, Loren, Cosmo, and more join the fray, making this a legendary town square session. Oh, and we tease a Bitcoin Today meetup in Las Vegas the Tuesday before the Bitcoin Conference—see you plebs there!"
