TBB027 - Jam Session - Bills, Mysticism, & Bonds

We kick things off with a discussion about Cynthia Lummis’s newly introduced Bitcoin Act of 2025 in Congress. We get into the nitty-gritty of the legislation, exploring its implications for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. We weigh the pros and cons, like the innovative use of time locks to secure the reserve and concerns about asset seizure precedents, while noting the strategic chess moves—like gold revaluation—that might just get this bill across the finish line. Next, we shift gears to reflect on Bitcoin’s current market dynamics. We unpack why the price hasn’t reacted as expected, touching on macro pressures like tariffs and a risk-off environment, as well as the learning curve for new institutional and Boomer investors grappling with Bitcoin’s “digital gold” identity. We couldn’t resist diving into the wild tale of Josh Mandel, Bitcoin Twitter’s latest mystic. We recount how this former Ohio treasurer turned options trader nailed a prediction of Bitcoin hitting $84K on March 14—down to the exact date and nearly the exact price. His cryptic talk of time travel and multiversal timelines has us both intrigued and skeptical, but we admit it’s entertaining as hell. We’ll be watching to see if his next call—$100K by month-end—pans out.We also touch on some Bitcoin shitcoinery with Taproot Wizards. We revisit the saga of their NFT minting antics, from million-dollar block buys in 2023 to this week’s $32M cash grab at 0.2 BTC per wizard. We debate the ethics and market appetite for these pricey JPEGs, noting the dwindling participation as a barometer of fading hype in this space. Finally, we wrap up with a look at Bitcoin bonds, sparked by a recent Bitcoin Policy Institute event. We explore a proposal where bonds could include a Bitcoin kicker—lowering yields for the government while giving everyday Americans a volatility-free way to stack sats. It’s a bullish idea that could bridge Bitcoin to the mainstream, and we’re excited to see where it leads. Find us on X at @SureSATs and visit us at suresats.com for more. Until next time, keep stacking those sats! Peace!

TBB025 - Jam Session - The Death of Memes, Bear, or Bull

On this episode of The Bitcoin Beat we address the recent collapse of the Libra Memecoin in Argentina, highlighting the persistent volatility in speculative assets. We examine the Lazarus Group’s $1.4 billion Ethereum theft from Bybit, attributed to North Korean hackers, and consider its implications for cryptocurrency security. Turning to Bitcoin, we analyze its recent decline to $88,000, noting the bearish sentiment on X. Despite this, we remain optimistic, citing catalysts like MicroStrategy’s $2 billion acquisition, legislative moves toward state-held Bitcoin reserves, and innovative banking practices using Bitcoin as loan collateral. We also explore GameStop’s potential pivot to Bitcoin, spurred by CEO Ryan Cohen’s signals, and question whether it—or even the hackers’ ETH-to-BTC conversion—could bolster this market cycle. We have a detailed discussion on MicroStrategy follows, countering NAV bear arguments by emphasizing its strategic value beyond mere Bitcoin holdings. Finally, we delve into Microsoft’s Majorana chip, leveraging topological superconductors to stabilize quantum qubits—a breakthrough rooted in complex physics, potentially years from realization.

TBB024 - Jam Session - DOGE, Global Trade, and $GME

On this episode of the Bitcoin Beat, we have another jam session. We start off talking about the Department of Government Efficiency and give our takes. We transition back to tariffs and dig deeper on trade balances, long term issuance of U. S. treasuries, and the possibility of the U. S. reshoring manufacturing while also maintaining the dollar as a world reserve currency. Finally, we touch on our recent guest session about GameStop and expand upon that conversation.

TBB023 - Guest Session - Ben Wehrman & Gamestop

On this episode of the Bitcoin Beat we brought on Ben Wehrman to discuss the possibility of GameStop adopting a Bitcoin strategy. Ben got involved in the GameStop craze of 2021 and subsequently went hard down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. Ever since he has been pushing for GameStop to adopt Bitcoin. Here he lays out the case for why he believes a Bitcoin strategy would be the best path forward for GameStop as a company.
