Bitcoin’s Next Civil War Is Already Here Casey Casey and Erin Redwing Erin Redwing dive deep into Paul Sztorc’s eCash Bitcoin fork and the return of the Bitcoin fork wars. The fork implements Drivechain through BIP 300 and BIP 301, allowing Bitcoin to support side chains for privacy, prediction markets, decentralized exchanges, assets, DNS, post-quantum cryptography, and more — without adding those features directly to Bitcoin Core. We break down how hashrate escrow and blind merge mining actually work, the seven proposed Drivechain side chains, the controversial redistribution of 500,000 of Satoshi’s coins, and the central question hanging over the entire proposal: can Bitcoin miners actually be trusted to make this work?

THE CREATOR OF ORDINALS SAYS BIP-110 IS DOOMED Casey Casey and Erin Redwing dive into the history and drama behind BIP-110, Bitcoin's controversial anti-spam filter proposal. This episode covers the origins of Bitcoin's spam debate, Luke Dashjr's decade-long anti-spam crusade, the rise of Ordinals, Inscriptions, and Runes, the Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots conflict, and a full technical breakdown of what BIP-110 actually does — and why it's doomed to fail.

The COLDCARD Hack Was Bitcoin’s 9/11 The COLDCARD exploit was an emperor-has-no-clothes moment for Bitcoin. In this episode of the Hell Money Podcast, Casey Casey and Erin Redwing Erin Redwing break down what happened, how AI may have changed the balance between attackers and defenders, and what the fallout exposed about Bitcoin security and culture. “Don’t trust, verify” is one of Bitcoin’s core principles — but over time, heuristics like Bitcoin-only, open source, self-custody, and trusted developers became ways of deciding what to trust instead of actually verifying. So what happens when those heuristics fail? TIMESTAMPS 0:00 COLDCARD bug exploit explained 4:00 Did the attacker use AI? 8:10 Bitcoin Red Team 14:53 AI, eclipse season, and what breaks next 16:48 A 9/11 moment for open source and self-custody 23:39 AI defense for open source software 29:19 The crisis for Bitcoin self-custody 30:54 What does it actually mean to be a sovereign individual? 34:26 Self custody is worth fighting for 39:50 The cultural coddling of COLDCARD 45:43 “Strong opinions, weakly held” found dead 48:15 Coinkite’s development practices and the warning signs 56:59 Outro
