Subscribe to the podcast Bitcoin can only be useful if users are able to properly and adequately secure their keys.  If someone can easily find a way to gain access to your keys, then your Bitcoin is as good as gone.  As the value of Bitcoin continues to climb, hodlers will find it all the more imperative to have cold storage options that eliminate as many attack surfaces as possible.  A number of products and services available for purchase like hardware wallets and custodial multisignature arrangements, but they have their own drawbacks, so there is still a need for solutions that are simple to use and don't make the same security compromises.  Enter Yeti Cold, an open source project by JW Weatherman and his son, Will, aimed at providing a solution for maximizing the safety of your Bitcoin.

Subscribe to the podcast Libertarians do a lot of things well, but I think that we can all admit that socially we can often use a little bit of help. We have a great message of peace and love, but the reactions we get from people can be so redundant and frustrating that we have the tendency to get a little bit nasty. We also tend to take very aggressive stances on positions that our non-libertarian friends might not be ready for. We invited Carey Wedler on the show to discuss how we can do a better job with interacting with others and spreading our message.

Subscribe to the podcast As Christian (specifically Catholic) libertarians, Slappy and I get it from both sides.  Some libertarians say you can't be both a Christian and a libertarian.  Some Christians say it too but for obviously different reasons.  We explore this question and perhaps offer some of our own ultimatums.

Subscribe to the podcast The law of comparative advantage is pretty straight forward and even Paul Krugman acknowledges the importance of free trade.  But many conservatives, in brainless support of President Trump, find ways to justify the economic destruction of tariffs.  Even the usually solid Pat Buchanan has an awful take on tariffs.  We discuss a piece penned by him.

A lot of art these days gets criticized for not being like the art of year or even centuries past.  In the pursuit of appreciating art, we might have the tendency to push those feelings aside and say, "Well, maybe this just isn't for me."  But is there something more to it?  And what is fine art anyway?  What's the state been up that has effects on art today?  We have Scoparchist on the show to discuss this and more.
