Marty and Chris (@coinjoined) break down the state of Bitcoin in 2025, from protocol development drama to quantum FUD and the ongoing culture war between cypherpunks and institutions. Chris shares his journey from shitcoiner to Bitcoin maximalist and explains what he's building with Biturance, a Bitcoin insurance company focused on self-custody for institutional holders. They cover European adoption, Luxembourg's sovereign wealth fund buying Bitcoin, inheritance planning, the OP_RETURN debate, Tether, Layer 2s like Ark, prediction markets, and the geopolitical implications of Bitcoin in places like Venezuela.
