For years, Speaking of Bitcoin has served as a thoughtful hub for conversation about the technology reshaping money and society. Hosted by Adam B. Levine alongside Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Dr. Stephanie Murphy, and Jonathan Mohan, this podcast approaches a complex and often divisive space with a commitment to clarity and even-handed exploration. The discussions prioritize depth over hype, breaking down technical concepts, economic implications, and the human stories behind the cryptocurrency phenomenon. You'll hear nuanced analysis and interviews that respect the listener's intelligence, whether the topic is a new protocol layer, a regulatory shift, or a philosophical debate about digital sovereignty. As the longest-running English-language talk show dedicated to this ecosystem, it offers a unique historical perspective that newcomers and veterans alike will appreciate. Tune in for the friendly, substantive dialogue that has defined this show since its earlier days as Let's Talk Bitcoin.
