In preparation for his LIVE AT PUBKEY show downstairs, Erik Cason (author of Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin) grabs a cold one with host Thomas Pacchia in the PubKey NYC Parlor, where they let loose for an UNFILTERED conversation about:
How Bitcoin introduced a new form of political power that will reshape the structure of nation-states
Why fiat’s century-long decay (from greenbacks to 1971 to the GFC) created today’s nihilism, instability, and rising extremism
What Bitcoiners get WRONG about central bankers, Cantillon dynamics, and the moral psychology behind money printing
The coming clash between custodial Bitcoin (ETFs, treasuries) and self-sovereign Bitcoin
Why AI and proprietary language models are becoming the new battleground for human autonomy
How generational resentment, collapsing institutions, and political polarization could push America toward a Weimar-style fork
Why REAL self-sovereignty demands new hardware, new UX, and a cultural shift toward running your own stack
Whether Bitcoiners must eventually organize politically to avoid both authoritarian capture and extremist backlash
