This is episode 240 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.
Did you read all of that last paragraph? We're not just a Bitcoin podcast. We're also a *liberty* podcast. So in addition to Bitcoin, we take serious interest in privacy, security, censorship resistance, free trade, and numerous other liberty-oriented topics. We've covered all that since the beginning.
This week we have some good news and some bad news …
Journalists who cover Bitcoin are perennially controversial figures (as are all journalists, really) who face extraordinary criticism for the news and opinions they share about Bitcoin and other alt-coins.

This is episode 10 of Tim's Two Cents – the outrageous show where Tim argues with himself.
This week, Tim's all about optimism. Society as a whole seems to promote blind belief in oneself. Disney tells us our hearts are never wrong and we'll always live happily ever after. But how much can unrealistic positivity really improve your life?

Today's exciting guest is Jeff Klee, the CEO of CheapAir.com. CheapAir has been using Coinbase to accept Bitcoin for airfare for years now. (Kudos for that!) But recently, some changes over at Coinbase threw Jeff's company under the bus.

This is episode 9 of Tim's Two Cents – the outrageous show where Tim argues with himself.
This week's show is all about despotism. Most of us in the modern world assume autocratic rule by one person is something completely negative. But are there some redeeming features to this strongman type of rule?
In a world where aggression and compulsory governance are currently unavoidable, is a dictator truly the worst kind of leader? Could it …

Today we have another fantastic special guest with us. @CryptoDale is one of the wildest dudes on crypto Twitter and he's here to chat about whatevs and cover some Bitcoin headlines with us.
First of all, we're totally gonna laugh our asses off at a prison escape. Apparently, this guy suspected of one of the biggest Bitcoin thefts in history …
Many of the most important contributions to Bitcoin (and cryptocurrency, in general) come from female developers, attorneys, journalists, etc. even though statistically women comprise a relatively small percentage of "crypto" users and contributors, according to the best available data.
For this episode, Soona Amhaz joins me to chat with Desiree Dickson about her work as the Blockchain & Digital Currency Fellow at Women for Women and her opinions on the diversity …
