About this episode
In Episode 91 of Token Narratives, Graham Stone and David Sencil are joined by Aaron Day to explore one of the most controversial conversations we’ve ever had.
The discussion moves from Bitcoin’s historic drawdown into much deeper territory — Epstein’s financial influence, Bitcoin’s evolution away from digital cash, and the rise of technocratic financial surveillance.
Topics include:
- Epstein’s alleged role in Bitcoin’s development shift
- Bitcoin as a better product in 2012
- Why Bitcoin lost its edge as digital cash
- Privacy, surveillance, and technocracy
- Zano, privacy layers, and parallel economies
- Whether Bitcoin can still function as a freedom tool
This episode challenges dominant narratives around Bitcoin, regulation, and control.
