Bitcoin Fortress
🎙 Bitcoin Fortress Podcast — Episode 216 Date: May 17, 2026 Block Height: 949842 Moscow Time: 1280 Fees: 1 / 1 / 2 In this episode: In Episode 216 of The Bitcoin Fortress Podcast, we explore why the real signal this week wasn’t Bitcoin’s price action — it was growing stress inside the legacy financial system itself. We discuss Japan’s bond market turmoil, the advancing CLARITY Act and the fight over developer freedom, why self-custody is increasingly becoming a civil liberties issue, MARA’s massive Bitcoin sale and pivot into AI infrastructure, renewed discussions around privacy in Bitcoin, and what these trends reveal about the future of money, sovereignty, and financial freedom. Plus: Bitcoin podcast universe themes, a featured Bitcoin Fortress Substack post, and a look at the newly released book The Architecture of Money.
