Adoption: Knut Svanholm | Everything Divided By 21 Million | Episode 10 of 12
In Episode 10 of our Everything Divided by 21 Million series, I sit down with Knut Svanholm to talk about Bitcoin adoption—and why he says “Bitcoin is not for everyone. It’s for anyone.” We get into what that distinction really means, the responsibility of taking control of your keys, why proper on-chain Bitcoin will probably be for the few, and how scaling pushes adoption into layers (second layer + custodial vs. true self-sovereignty). Knut also lays out the big macro view: the “snowball effect,” fiat hyperinflation in Bitcoin terms, and why he believes a crash is inevitable—wit...

Deflation: Knut Svanholm | Everything Divided By 21 Million | Episode 9 of 12
Is everything you’ve been told about deflation a lie? In Episode 9 of our 12-part series on the groundbreaking book "Everything Divided By 21 Million," we sit down with legendary Bitcoin philosopher Knut Svanholm to dismantle the "government daycare" version of economics. We dive deep into why deflation is the natural state of a free market, why the "free lunch" is the root of all evil, and why true capitalism has actually never been tried. If you’ve ever wondered why your money loses value while technology gets cheaper, this episode provides the "red pill" moment you’ve been l...

We dive deep into the "why" behind the technology—from escaping government dependence to the discovery of absolute mathematical scarcity. This isn't just a talk about price; it’s a deep dive into the game theory of survival, the "parasite" that kills all other parasites, and why Bitcoin is a discovery that can never happen again.

Knut Svanholm: Why I’m Considering Moving to El Salvador After Meeting Bukele (And You Should Too!)
What if democracy can’t survive sound money, because it runs on promises it can’t fund?Knut Svanholm sits down with Mike Peterson in El Salvador, fresh from a formal night at the presidential palace with President Nayib Bukele. Phones taken, press everywhere, and a president who feels unnervingly normal to Bitcoiners. Knut’s take is blunt, El Salvador may have accidentally voted “one of us” into office, and the results feel like the inverse of clown world.Then the conversation turns to the cage, fiat currency.

Is Bitcoin a discovery of physics or just financial code? In Episode 2 of the Infinity Series, we sit down with Knut Svanholm (Author, Bitcoin: Everything Divided by 21 Million) to dismantle the biggest lie in modern economics: that Central Bankers are the "experts." In reality, they are failed alchemists who print value out of thin air. We explore the "Element Zero" theory—the idea that Bitcoin is the world’s first and only informational element.

Ep. 99: Knut Svanholm - Stop Asking Permission: Bitcoin Or Fiat Prison
My guest today is Knut Svanholm, author, educator, and philosopher focused on Bitcoin. Drawing on ethics, praxeology, and monetary history, Knut argues that sound money reduces conflict by aligning human action with natural law and voluntary exchange. In this episode, he explains why fiat banking already functions like a CBDC system in practice, why cash preserves privacy but not liberty, and why real freedom requires self custody and non-KYC Bitcoin. We explore his critique of custodial “paper Bitcoin,” the case for non-custodial adoption over treasury companies, and his view of Bitcoin as intellectual armor that raises the cost of viol...
