Summary

Luke de Wolf joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about his upcoming book Defending Bitcoin: Industrial-Grade Cybersecurity for the Monetary Grid, the cybersecurity case for treating Bitcoin as critical infrastructure, and why arbitrary data on Bitcoin should be considered a textbook availability vulnerability. The conversation covers Luke's reversal on BIP-110, the governance concentration around Bitcoin Core, and why decentralized mining through Ocean, Datum, and Stratum V2 is essential for keeping the network resilient. Knut and Luke also preview BTC Prague, the Dublin conference, and the upcoming BTCHEL event in Helsinki this September, with its tracks on Nordic sovereignty, mining and energy, and Bitcoin for human rights.
