Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

Bitcoin Takeover is part oral history, part workshop. Martti Malmi, Satoshi's first collaborator, on Bitcoin in 2009. Casey Rodarmor on the month Ordinals went live. Adam Krellenstein on Counterparty, the token layer that came before everything current. Roger Ver on what the block size wars cost him. Peter Todd and Paul Sztorc on the code fights that split the project. Seven years, 370+ episodes, and one rule that never changed: the guest did something notable, and the host asks the right questions.
