<p>What if the future of Bitcoin is decided in the mempool? I sit down with Simple Steve, Bitcoin Mechanic and Jeff Swann for a chaotic, curious roundtable.<br />We riff on conspiracies and culture rot, pick apart BIP444 and Taproot edge cases, and ask; can soft forks, replay risks and mining centralization be managed without breaking the network?<br />We dig into real-world friction: Square payments at the point of sale, Lava’s DLC-to-custodial pivot, and the fine print on Bitcoin-backed loans.<br />Steve brings UTXOracle updates, Mechanic talks mempool and miner incentives, and Jeff helps keep the conversation irreverent and grounded.<br />If you like technical debate served with conspiracy tangents and practical takeaways, this one’s for you.</p> <p><strong>Check out our awesome sponsors!</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://learn.ledn.io/audible">Ledn</a>: Need fiat but don’t want to sell your Bitcoin?
