Why the Trump family is betting on Bitcoin mining & how it fits with the US BTC Reserve — Matt Prusak (ABTC)

How one man saved 9 puppies with a Bitcoin Miner

Nine surprise puppies were born on a Colorado farm during a cold winter. They were saved with an Avalon Q Bitcoin miner and one resourceful man. In this episode, I speak with Adam Ortolf about how he kept a litter of livestock guardian puppies warm, saved over $300 in monthly heating costs with the Avalon Q, and earned Bitcoin while doing it. We talk about puppy growth, farm life, the cost of electric heat, Bitcoin mining economics, and the massive potential for using miner heat in barns, chicken coops, horse stalls, rural homes, and agriculture. I also include lots of cute puppy footage.

What Japan Broke: Money, Markets, and Why Silver + Bitcoin Are Reacting

Japan has been the “monetary experiment lab” for decades and the consequences are rippling outward. In this episode, I’m joined by Roberto Rios (Peruvian Bull) to unpack Japan’s 1980s bubble, and how decades of financial repression set the stage for the yen carry trade. We break down why the carry trade exploded, and what it means when it unwinds for risk assets, bonds, bitcoin. We also connect the macro picture to hard assets: why physical markets in the East are pressuring gold/silver paper markets in the West, and how changing liquidity conditions could shape Bitcoin’s next phase. Finally, we tackle the big question: are Bitcoin’s 4-year cycles fading?

Gold and Silver are Screaming, Bitcoin’s Next: Lawrence Lepard

In this episode of Magsplaining, we go deep into the “monetary debasement trade” with Lawrence Lepard — why gold is ripping, why Bitcoin is next, and why the fiat system can’t be fixed without massive money printing. We get into deficits, yield curve control, the Fed, BRICS de-dollarization, Fort Knox and “paper gold,” why silver is waking up, and how this all ends in a global monetary reset. Lawrence also lays out his multi-year macro timeline: inflation, political breakdown, and eventually a return to sound money — with Bitcoin at the center. If you’ve ever wondered “Is it too late?” for gold or Bitcoin… this is the episode you send people. 💡 GUEST BIO:Lawrence Lepard is a sound money investor and founder of Equity Management Associates (EMA), where he manages funds focused on gold, Bitcoin, and hard assets. A former venture capitalist and long-time advocate for monetary discipline, Lawrence writes widely read macro letters on inflation, debt, and the global shift toward sound money. His latest book explains how governments’ fiscal recklessness is fueling the “monetary debasement trade” — and why gold and Bitcoin are the escape valves.📨 Read his quarterly letters: https://ema2.com/quarterly-reports/BOOK: The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It: https://a.co/d/7gdSTVa🐦 Follow Lawrence on X: @LawrenceLepard🎙️ FOLLOW MAGSX (Twitter): ⁠https://x.com/crypto_mags ⁠ Podcast hub: ⁠www.magsplaining.com ⁠ 📌 SUPPORT THE SHOW• Like, subscribe, and share this episode• Sponsor: magsplaining at gmail dot com• Tip in Bitcoin: mags@blink.sv ⛏️ PRODUCT PROMO CODEGet 5% off of Bitcoin miners at⁠ ⁠Plebsource⁠⁠ with MAGS.⚠️ DISCLAIMERSNo Financial Advice.
