Lauren Rodriguez - The Samurai Wallet Story

In this episode, I chat with Lauren Rodriguez, wife of Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of the privacy-focused Samurai Wallet, about her family’s harrowing journey through the U.S. justice system. Keonne was indicted by the DOJ and sentenced to five years in federal prison for developing non-custodial Bitcoin privacy tools. Lauren walks us through the shocking pre-dawn FBI raid, the trial that never happened, the political motivations behind the charges, and the personal toll of what she believes is a deeply unjust prosecution. We dive into the philosophical fight for privacy, the role of open-source software, and the chilling effect this case could have on developers everywhere. If you care about privacy, Bitcoin, financial freedom, or due process, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I chat with Aaron Day, a freedom movement architect, serial entrepreneur, and outspoken opponent of global technocracy. After government regulations destroyed his healthcare business, Aaron walked away from the fiat system, becoming an early advocate for Bitcoin and decentralized alternatives. He’s also the author of The Final Countdown, and a former presidential candidate who used his campaign to warn Americans about the growing threat of surveillance, CBDCs, and global governance. We dive deep into the rise of technocracy, the ideology behind it, and how key players like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and institutions like the WEF and UN are accelerating the shift toward centralized digital control. If you’re looking to understand the bigger picture behind CBDCs, the hijacking of crypto, and how to opt out of the system, this episode is for you. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🎟️ BitcoinDay Tickets - 10% OFF Join us at BitcoinDay (including the carnivore dinner!)

In this episode, I chat with Jason Leibowitz, Head of Strategy at Meanwhile, about a game-changing financial product that blends Bitcoin with the powerful concept of infinite banking.Jason takes us on a journey through how Bitcoin-denominated whole life insurance works—and why it might be the smartest way for Bitcoiners to unlock liquidity, plan for the future, and ensure their wealth outlives them. He also breaks down the mechanics of policy loans, estate planning, and why traditional life insurance fails in a fiat-debased world. Whether you’re thinking about passing your Bitcoin on to your family, protecting your wealth from future uncertainty, or simply want more control over your financial life—this conversation is a must-listen. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🎟️ BitcoinDay Tickets - 10% OFF Join us at BitcoinDay (including the carnivore dinner!)

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Booth, entrepreneur, author of The Price of Tomorrow, and one of the clearest thinkers on how technology, money, and human agency collide. We explore why Bitcoin is not just an asset but a protocol, how broken money distorts society, and why deflation is the natural state of free markets. We also dig into AI, privacy, self-custody, family, time, and what a Bitcoin standard could mean for human consciousness itself. If you’re trying to understand Bitcoin beyond price, grapple with the implications of AI, or make sense of the confusing moment we’re living through, this conversation is for you. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🎟️ BitcoinDay Tickets - 10% OFF Join us at BitcoinDay (including the carnivore dinner!)
