BITCOIN CORE VS KNOTS, SPAM VS FILTERS, QUANTUM THREATS, & SOCIAL ENGINEERING | Jameson Lopp
About this episode
"If we ever get to the point where nobody's arguing about Bitcoin, I would be afraid that that's because nobody cares anymore and Bitcoin is actually dead or dying."
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Bitcoin technologist Jameson Lopp (Casa co-founder & CSO) joins Walker America to cut through today’s Bitcoin noise: filter wars, spam on Bitcoin, standardness vs. consensus, the real risks (social engineering vs wrench attacks), and how to actually secure generational wealth with family multi-sig. We also dive into the quantum computing threat—timelines, soft-fork options, migration game theory, and why coordination (not cryptography alone) will be the hard part. Plus: culture/politics, ossification, and how debates keep Bitcoin antifragile.
