BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #28: ORANGE PILLING CRYPTO WITH WIZARDS & CATS | with Udi Wertheimer One of the most influential voices in “Bitcoin Season II,” Udi Wertheimer is one of the most controversial and, perhaps, most misunderstood figures in the Bitcoin community broadly. A self-identified “survivor” of Bitcoin maximalism, Udi’s critiques of Bitcoin-only tribalism – and the suppression of nuanced discussion that arises as a result – made him the perfect spokesperson for post-Ordinals Bitcoiners looking for someone to represent their “Bitcoin-first” rather than “Bitcoin-only” views. Inspired by Ordinals, Udi and partner Eric Wall founded Taproot Wizards – one of the most unique and enigmatic companies in Bitcoin – with a broad mandate to “onboard crypto users to Bitcoin… by any means necessary.” From launching two of the most popular Ordinals collections in the world – to campaigning for progressive Bitcoin opcodes (i.e. CAT) – Udi and the Wizards relentlessly orange pill the most maxi-neglected low-hanging fruit… non-Bitcoin crypto users.

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #13: Searching for "Real Yield" on Bitcoin | With Core DAO 🔶 contributor richrines.core 🔶 Even the most hardline Bitcoin maxis would be hard-pressed not to admit that if there was a safe, trustless, and permissionless way to get yield on their Bitcoin—they might be interested. The question really is—how would that work? What does that look like? And is that possible? I brought on CoreDAO contributor Rich Rines to discuss, largely because—little known fact—they are currently the largest TVL 'scaling solution' on Bitcoin offering staking. Not an episide to be missed if you are a builder or entrepreneur in the space... Rich has strong opinions on why the dog-eat-dog approach to building doesn't work—and what founders should be focused on instead. This episode is powered by Best In Slot—the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing. This episide can also be seen on YouTube or Spotify—linktree in bio.

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #24: The History of Zero-Knowledge Proofs | with ZK “Godfather” Eli Ben Sasson In 2013, computer science professor Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io presented his research on zero-knowledge proofs at a small Bitcoin conference outside of Standford University. The presentation immediately sparked interest from Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell—leading Eli into over a decade of sustained work advancing ZK-based solutions for blockchain scalability and privacy. Today, zero-knowledge proofs are widely considered some of the most powerful and promising cryptographic primitives for scaling—with their full potential for Bitcoin simmering just beneath the surface of active development. This episode shares Eli’s early discussions of ZKPs for scaling, the use of proofs in privacy-enhancing technologies like Zcash, the explosion of ZKPs for Layer 2s on Ethereum… and his recent return to exploring ZKPs for Bitcoin. As always, you can view this episode on YouTube or Spotify via the linktree in my bio—YouTube link in comments as well.
