The Jason & Andrew Show - an easy going, deep dive podcast/video series hosted by Jason and Andrew, exploring the cutting edge of Bitcoin innovation, sovereignty, and real world utility.

In each episode, the duo breaks down timely market moves, technical developments, protocol debates, and the philosophical drive to build truly decentralized tools on Bitcoin's unshakeable foundation.

In this episode, Jason and Andrew tackle:

✅Bitcoin's recent dip to $60k - analyzing the sharp sell off (briefly hitting as low as ~$60,000 amid broader market pressure), what triggered it, whale activity, ETF flows, and whether this is a healthy correction or a sign of deeper bearish momentum in early 2026.

✅OpenTimestamps - how this powerful, free protocol uses Bitcoin to create verifiable, censorship resistant proofs of existence for documents, files, or data. Proving something existed at a certain time without relying on trusted third parties.

✅Spaces Protocol - the spotlight on this scalable, permissionless Bitcoin native naming system. Spaces enables sovereign identities (like
@yourname
handles) anchored directly as UTXOs on Bitcoin. No new chain, no mods to Bitcoin, just pure scripting and auctions for community "Spaces" and subspaces. It's designed for massive scale, privacy, and integration with Nostr, wallets, and P2P apps.

✅Bitcoin Knots vs. Bitcoin Core - comparing the two implementations, why some users prefer Core or Knots for additional features and policy tweaks, and its role in the current ecosystem (including signaling for proposals).

✅BIP 110 - diving into this proposed soft fork to limit data carrying in transactions, plus the debate around its activation and implications.

✅Rugging UTXOs - discussing strategies and ethics around "rugging" "spam" related UTXOs (forcing consolidation or reclaiming value from junk inscriptions/data heavy outputs listed in spam catalogs).

✅Why DNS is centralized - unpacking the vulnerabilities of traditional Domain Name System (controlled by ICANN, registrars, and governments) from censorship and seizure risks to single points of failure and contrasting it with Bitcoin secured alternatives like Spaces protocol.

✅Why it's important to build important tools on Bitcoin, the core thesis: Bitcoin's unmatched security, decentralization, and immutability make it the ideal base layer for critical infrastructure like naming, identities, timestamps, and more. Building here ensures true sovereignty, resists capture, and scales with Bitcoin's proven track record, avoiding the pitfalls of altchains or centralized systems.

Whether you're a Bitcoin maximalist, a developer eyeing on chain innovations, or just curious about the future of digital identity and money, INSIDE BITCOIN SPACES delivers unfiltered insights, technical breakdowns, and bold takes on why Bitcoin remains the premier settlement layer for the world's most important protocols.
