    The Pinnacle

    Stephan Livera views Bitcoin holistically, thereby offering a nice variety of podcasts between economics, technology, politics and sociology. He provides expert clarification and summaries of his guests’ main points. He esteems and respects his guests whether or not he agrees with them. Stefan is a real podcast pro.

    Lavish saying right a million times.
    Guest mr lavish says right so often it should be drinking game. These hosts should get some real skills as much as they make the rounds.

    Great Conversations on Money, Energy, Bitcoin, and more
    I always look forward to my weekly Sunday road trip I take, as it ends up being a classroom on wheels with Stephan and his guests. I’ve really enjoyed this podcast and all of the excellent resources and content that Stephan makes available, thank you!

    Authentic
    Stephan focuses on bitcoin through a lens of human rights. He is the pioneer in this unfortunately niche area of Bitcoin podcasting. I appreciate his dedication to hosting intelligent guests with technical knowledge and privacy focused concerns. He runs circles around Peter McCormack in terms of bitcoin knowledge and relevance. Thank you Stephan for providing your show for free and promoting the most important aspects of Bitcoin and digital life.

    Connecting dots
    It’s a pleasure to listen to a podcast that makes such a clear connection between Austrian Economics and Bitcoin. A great place to learn the basics and also get some great fresh perspectives from guests, on issues that will affect Bitcoin in the future.

    Interesting Topics and Overall Great Podcast
    I enjoyed listening to your interview with Philip Glazman! I was very interested in learning about using lightning as an exchange. What a valuable podcast with great conversation topics! Definitely a unique podcast!

    Essential Podcast for Bitcoin Learning
    Stephan Livera Podcast is essential for learning and staying up to date on all topics regarding bitcoin, from economic theory, bitcoin core development, mining, nodes, lightning, privacy, opsec, etc. I recommend newcomers to not just listen to the latest episodes but also listen to older episodes as they help build a strong foundation for learning and understanding bitcoin. You will be exposed to a wide range of guests including well known figures in the bitcoin space but I especially like the episodes with developers and builders, which provide deep insights about bitcoin.
  • SimonPran

  • Andy Flattery
    Made Bitcoin “real” for me
    Stephan Livera approaches Bitcoin from an unabashed Austrian economist’s perspective. His podcast is the orange pill for an intermediate understanding of why it’s about more than laser eyes and “number go up.” Start with his solo episode 71.

    Excellent Bitcoin podcast
    A truly great Bitcoin podcast! Stephan’s podcast is excellent, particularly for those looking for a more technical or Austrian-economic view on Bitcoin — wh— it is, why it’s important, and the world-changing implications of its technology and technological changes. Stephan is well versed in the nitty gritty of both the actual tech — digital signatures, segwit, taproot, DLCs, etc — and the underlying economics. And Stephan does not shy away from controversy. His recent interview with Alex Epstein is an excellent example: While the rest of the community scrambles to assure those outside of Bitcoin that mining uses mostly renewable energy, etc, Stephan is willing to help question the underlying premises of the concerns around Bitcoin’s energy usage, and to fight for our right to use energy as *we* see valuable, rather than ceding the basic ground of the debate. Stephan keeps his eye on the ball. This is a fundamentally *free* currency for a *free* people who can and should make their own decisions about what they value, and should not be pushed around by political exigencies. This podcast is a beautiful example of what makes this technology special — made accessible to the whole world!

  • Hehoeopepnen
    A+, professional
    Best content. Lots of the BTC stuff is “bro content.” If you’re grown and can only take so much “bro content”, listen to Stephan. Always high class. Always great content. Thanks Stephan and keep up the class act.

  • GauchoEddy
    Austrian Economist dives deep into Bitcoin rabbit hole
    Stephan’s point of view is critical in understanding Bitcoin and I always appreciate his interviews & insights
  • wwohler
    an essential Bitcoin podcast
    Stephan regularly brings really high-level Bitcoiners in for his podcasts. In addition to a broad range of more general topics, he explores fairly technical Bitcoin aspects fairly often. In those more technical episodes, he’s careful to provide good background & explanations for non-techies about the subject(s) and details of those show’s discussions. Stephan is a steadfast Bitcoin advocate, fully committed to its core self-sovereign values. I try to listen to every episode – and as soon as I can, as soon as it’s released.

    One of the best Bitcoin podcasts
    When I was first learning about Bitcoin, this podcast was a great learning source and opened up so many important concepts to me. I learn something new with almost every show and there are both important core concepts and advanced topics. Highly recommend listening to this and following him on twitter!
  • petoveritas
    No BS, good bitcoin facts
    SLP is consistently good, fact based, professional bitcoin content. It’s not sugar coated fluff or an intro to basics. Listen to this podcast (and the older episodes) to gradually grasp what bitcoin is to you. Only you can discover what bitcoin is, but Stephan is a great guide.
  • Petter Hallqvist

    Best Crypto Podcast Out
    Love this podcast. I’ve been down the bitcoin rabbit hole for years now, but I find myself going deeper with each new episode. Keep up the great work Stephen!
  • sashahodler
    Enjoy your work
    Great podcast, highly recommend!
  • Marc Reagan
    Succinct, technical, interesting, educational
    You need knowledge from two primary areas to understand bitcoin: economics and computer science. This is the only podcast in the space where the host has diverse and in-depth knowledge of both of these domains. I have listened to around 15 episodes now and can tell stephan has read all of the Austrian classics: Mises, hayek, Rothbard, Etc. I can also tell he’s studied the efficient market hypothesis extensively as well as the behavioral finance guys: kahneman/tversky/Thaler/etc. I don’t have as much technical knowledge in the computer science arena so can’t comment specifically on it but I can tell by his guests he knows his stuff well. Also the guests he’s getting are simply amazing. All the big names in the space I know of and I’ve found many more people to follow on twitter through this show. My only piece on constructive criticism, and I only add this because I hate feedback that isn’t in part constructive and therefore mere flattery, don’t be afraid to push back harder on stuff that you disagree strongly with and are confident in your knowledge on. The one example I’ll point to here is with Raoul Paul, side note I love Raoul and all that real vision is doing, but he was repeating the same cliche trope about tokenizing real estate or and other assets that has been so preached about for years but that everyone knows you don’t need a blockchain or DLT for. And that you would need a trusted intermediary anyway which defeats the purpose of blockchain/dlt. The one other thing I’d say and this one is small. When a guest goes into a long answer and sums up things well that you don’t have something specifically to respond with don’t say “right” or “agree with you on that one” just simply take a pause. I advise just going into the next question here as it makes it smoother and easier to follow for the listener. Obviously if you have a specific reply to his response allow the conversation to flow but the jagged one or two word replies then another pause then the next question are not ideal. Sorry that one was really nit picky. I’ve listened to 15 of these in 2 weeks. Seriously just keep doing exactly what you’re doing. Fantastic content. And you are so prolific. 2 interviews a week has to be an insane amount of work idk how you are keeping it up. Keep striving.

    This is at the base of building bitcoin knowledge
    Stephan has built an amazing library for learning about crypto. The listener will quickly realize that the Austrian Economic Framework will appeal to first principals and will allow the listener to know that bitcoin is where all attention should be focussed.
  • al_willis
    Amazingly good!
    I’ve been listening to Bitcoin podcasts since there were such podcasts. I’m happy I found this one recently. Stephan gets into the technical details with various innovators in the Bitcoin ecosystem but keeps it presentable. And he’s always prepared and asks great questions. I’ve been binge-listening to the episodes; anyone who wants to learn about Bitcoin and especially hardware wallets and the Lightning Network should definiately subscribe.
  • Tomhinueber
