BITCOIN SEASON 2: Bitcoin Jesus 2.0: Saylor Era
Vortex returns to discuss Bitcoin's future, soft fork upgrades like CTV, the dangers of cult personalities, and why Bitcoin development must continue despite political resistance in this technical deep dive.
ABOUT
Vortex joins us to talk about Bitcoin's unfinished evolution, the critical need for soft fork upgrades like CTV and check sig from stack, parallels between Roger Ver and Michael Saylor's influence, lessons from the block size war, and why technical development can't stop despite growing political resistance within the Bitcoin community.

**Notes:**
• Bitcoin at $110,000 feels eerily casual in 2025
• CTV has $500k+ bug bounty with no exploits found
• Only 3-5% of global population has used Bitcoin
• Next cycle could see $2M+ Bitcoin price target
• ETFs defined this cycle; governments next
• Lightning needs upgrades for high-fee environments
