The Coin Based boys (ArbedOut and Thomas Pacchia) take the stage in their LIVE AT PUBKEY show at PubKey NYC to discuss the latest Bitcoin technical buzz, Bitcoin Knots Flag Day, and:

• ArbedOut's steelman of Bitcoin Knots (and why even the best Knots steelman fails under its own logic)
• Why CSAM and terrorism keep reappearing as rhetorical dead-ends in protocol disputes
• The real stakes of BIP-110 and other proposals (do soft forks implicitly rewrite Bitcoin's social contract?)
• The interlinked relationships between node costs, UTXO bloat, protocol design, and political power
• Whether filtering hostile data creates new choke points for governments, miners, and regulators
• The uncomfortable idea that Bitcoin’s biggest threats may be social and political, not technical
• ...and more!
