"I am incredibly, incredibly bullish right now."

I chat with Marty Bent, co-founder of TFTC, host of Rabbit Hole Recap, and one of the most clear-headed voices in Bitcoin media. We dig into the state of Bitcoin markets and why Marty remains deeply bullish despite volatility, before moving into a wide-ranging conversation on Nostr, live streaming, and the cultural shift toward open protocols. If you’re trying to understand how Bitcoin, family, culture, and politics all collide in this moment, and where optimism still makes sense, this episode is for you.
