The voices behind The Dollar is Dead

Jimmy Gorham - Host

Jimmy Gorham

Poker Player Turned Entrepreneur

Jimmy Gorham is a poker player turned entrepreneur who's spent years betting on himself — and learning from the hands that didn't play out. With a political science degree from UCLA and a foundation built in both street smarts and hard-won lessons, Jimmy has launched over ten businesses, most of which failed — and that's exactly how he got better.

These days, he builds houses in Los Angeles and builds arguments that hold up just as well. Jimmy brings sharp instincts, real-world perspective, and a steady voice in an unsteady world.

Jesse Posner - Host

Jesse Posner

Cryptography Engineer & Recovering Lawyer

Jesse Posner is a cryptography engineer, recovering lawyer, and long-time contributor to Bitcoin's open-source codebase. After earning a liberal arts degree from St. John's College (NM) and a JD from Georgetown, Jesse practiced law for over a decade before jumping head-first into code — where logic isn't just argued, it's executed.

As a former engineer at Coinbase and a specialist in self-custody systems, Jesse brings deep knowledge of Bitcoin, financial autonomy, and digital sovereignty. Calm, precise, and never afraid to go deep, he's here to ask better questions — and build better tools for freedom.
