Your AI Agent Needs a Bitcoin Wallet. Here's Why.

Your AI Agent Needs a Bitcoin Wallet. Here's Why.

Most people think of Bitcoin as something you hold. Moritz Kaminski, co-founder of Alby, says it's becoming something your AI agent spends. Wyatt sits down with Moritz Kaminski to unpack why the Lightning Network is quietly becoming the payment rail of the agentic internet, what it actually looks like to give an AI agent a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet, and why micropayments are the unlock that nobody in the AI conversation is talking about enough. Moritz Kaminski walks through his path from venture capital to building on open source Bitcoin infrastructure, why privacy on Lightning gives it a structural edge over stablecoins and on-chain crypto, and what Alby learned from putting a 100,000 sat bounty on a publicly available AI agent and telling the internet to hack it. Wyatt and Moritz get into the mechanics of routing nodes, native Bitcoin yield, and why major players like AWS, Cloudflare, Stripe, and MasterCard are all quietly building agentic payment infrastructure right now. We close out with Moritz Kaminski's take on where Bitcoin adoption actually stands as a payment method, why the digital gold narrative is still the strongest on-ramp for financial professionals, and what he'd tell anyone sitting on the fence about trying Lightning for the first time. 🎟️ Join Us in Denver — Bitcoin Financial Services Summit The Bitcoin Financial Services Summit returns October 20–22 in Denver, Colorado.

Your Bitcoin Estate Plan Has a Fatal Flaw (And It's Not Legal)

Most Bitcoin treasury companies talk about holding. Kyle Lawrence says the legal infrastructure around it is just as important. Jordan and Wyatt sit down with Kyle Lawrence, Partner at Falcon, Rappaport, and Berkman, to get his take on why most Bitcoiners are one lost passkey away from a real problem, what the law actually says about unclaimed Bitcoin wallets, and why the road to hell is paved with good intentions when it comes to trusting your family with your keys. Kyle breaks down his own journey from corporate M&A attorney to Bitcoin-focused legal counsel, why jumping down the rabbit hole through a Coinbase account was the best advice he ever got, and what five years of watching the space mature has taught him about where regulation is actually headed. Jordan and Wyatt get into the mechanics of wills, trusts, and estate plans for Bitcoin holders, why custody is the conversation that has to happen before any legal document gets signed, and how the Clarity Act could finally give the industry the roadmap it's been missing. We close out with Kyle's honest take on the guys at the Bitcoin conference telling people to skip their tax returns, why "this law is stupid" has never once worked as a legal defense, and where to find his work if you want to go deeper. 🎟️ Join Us in Denver — Bitcoin Financial Services Summit The Bitcoin Financial Services Summit returns October 20–22 in Denver, Colorado.

Offense vs. Defense: How Bitcoin Treasury Companies Actually Work

Most Bitcoin treasury companies talk about holding. Sam Callahan says the ones worth watching are playing offense. Jordan and Wyatt sit down with Sam Callahan, Director of Bitcoin Strategy and Research at OrangeBTC, to get his take on why the offensive treasury model beats the defensive one, what it actually looks like to raise capital in a market three years behind the US, and why every bull vs. bear debate eventually comes down to one question. Sam breaks down his own journey from sports physical therapist to prolific Bitcoin researcher, why proof of work is still the best way to break into the industry, and what building the Bitcoin Canon at Swan taught him about how deep the rabbit hole actually goes. Jordan and Wyatt get into the mechanics of Bitcoin treasury companies, why scale and liquidity are the only real moats, and how OrangeBTC pulled off the first Bitcoin-backed institutional loan in Latin America with the largest bank on the continent. We close out with Sam's honest take on the Coffeezilla and Jeff Walton debate, why critics of the treasury model are really just bearish on Bitcoin, and where to find his research if you want to go deeper.

The Fix Every Financial Advisor Needs

Most financial professionals start a podcast thinking it will grow their business. Brandon Keys says you are doing it backwards. Jordan and Wyatt sit down with Brandon Keys from Green Candle to get his unfiltered take on why personal brand has to come before the podcast, what it actually takes to build content that converts, and how financial professionals can stop trading time for leads. Brandon breaks down his own journey from forensic engineer to full-time Bitcoin media strategist, why Bitcoiners can spot inauthenticity from a mile away, and what the give first mentality looks like when you are trying to build trust in financial services. Jordan and Wyatt get into the one-to-many content strategy that replaces the endless cycle of cold intro calls, why evergreen YouTube videos are the most underrated client acquisition tool in the industry, and what actually causes most people to quit content after two or three videos. We close out with Brandon's honest breakdown of what he would do differently if he were starting over, why now is the best time to build a personal brand given where we are in the AI cycle, and how to reach him if you are ready to stop figuring it out alone.

Bitcoin 2026 Recap, Stretch Breakdown & The Family Office Launch

20,000 Bitcoiners. Three days in Vegas. More conversations than you can count. Jordan and Wyatt just got back from Bitcoin 2025 and they are breaking down everything that actually happened — from the main stage panels to the back hallway conversations that never get recorded. In this episode, Jordan and Wyatt fly back from Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas to give their honest, unfiltered recap of what they saw, who they talked to, and what it all means for the Bitcoin financial services industry. From a packed expo booth to intimate side events to two panels on stage, this one covers the full picture. Wyatt breaks down his two panels — one on Bitcoin-backed lending and scaling debt markets, featuring Salt Lending and Arch Lending, and one on inheritance and wealth building with Jeff Andrew at Unchained, Zach Townsend at Meanwhile, and Jake Calvar at Digital Family Office Group. Jordan covers his panel on 1099-DA reporting, why cost basis schedules are the dark horse issue nobody wants to deal with, and why the IRS forcing mechanism is now unavoidable for anyone who has ever touched an exchange. We dig into the de minimis tax side event hosted at the Venetian, where David Zell from Bitcoin Policy Institute and Janessa Lopez from Block spent an hour with 75 advisors, CPAs, and Bitcoin professionals breaking down where the legislation actually stands — and why getting to crypto tax reform before the midterms is a heavier lift than most people want to admit. Jordan and Wyatt also pull back the curtain on the Bitcoin Family Office initiative they soft-launched at the conference — a fully integrated, Bitcoin-native service model connecting financial planning, tax strategy, estate planning, OTC purchasing, and hosted mining for clients between $5M and $50M in net worth. We get into why the siloed professional model is broken for Bitcoin holders, how data sharing agreements replace the need to tell your story four times, and why the demand they saw on the floor confirmed what they have been building toward for months. We close out with Wyatt's honest breakdown of Stretch — MicroStrategy's preferred equity product paying 11.5% — why it is not a Ponzi scheme, how the dividend liability actually gets paid, and what common shareholders need to understand about dilution versus Bitcoin per share accretion. Jordan adds the tax angle on return of capital treatment and why that structure looks very different from a standard dividend product when April rolls around.
