Thank you for all of the tireless work you do to continue the mission of educating the public about what Bitcoin did and how it will free us all from the slavery that is the fiat monetary system.

Incredible show, Danny somehow always lands the best guests, interviewing some of the most well known bitcoiners, and having conversations with them that no one else is having.

Auzzdoggbosshogg · May 2025

I mostly listen to bitcoin podcasts, but Defiance is a healthy break for exercising a different part of the mind. I enjoy Peter’s deep dive into current events and/or other topics that are not covered through traditional media channels. Peter approaches topics in a fair and balanced manner, seeking the truth in the subject he is tackling. I really enjoy listening to this professional quality podcast.
