  • EP64 Bitbonds vs Bitcoin-backed notes-Pierre Rochard on the Next Era of Bitcoin Finance

    EP64 Bitbonds vs Bitcoin-backed notes-Pierre Rochard on the Next Era of Bitcoin Finance
    Oct 10 2025
    Welcome to Navigating Bitcoin’s Noise—the show where we cut through the clutter and bring you the clearest insights on Bitcoin.

    I’m your host, Kane McGukin, and today I’m joined by Pierre Rochard, long-time Bitcoiner and builder whose path runs from Wall Street securitization to Kraken, Riot, and now founding the Bitcoin Bond Company. In this episode, Pierre breaks down the emerging market for Bitcoin-backed notes. We discuss how private credit and declining volatility set the stage for a true Bitcoin yield curve, and what ETFs, custody choices, and KYC/AML realities mean for adoption.

    We also dig into stablecoins like Tether and their role in dollarization abroad and how that liquidity ultimately strengthens Bitcoin’s financial plumbing.

  • EP63 The Bitcoin-Backed Shadow Financial System A Strategic Briefing with Matthew Pines

    EP63 The Bitcoin-Backed Shadow Financial System A Strategic Briefing with Matthew Pines
    Aug 6 2025
    America’s global power has always been built on controlling networks, money, trade, and communication. But today, those networks are under attack.

    China’s Belt & Road is building a parallel system, Stablecoins are being weaponized as tools of financial repression, and Bitcoin is emerging as a strategic asset that could flip global finance.

    Add AI-driven narrative warfare, and we’re entering a battle between centralized control, the Tower and decentralized freedom, the Square.

    Today, Matthew Pines and I unpack how America’s monetary tech stack is being rebuilt; before it’s too late.
