Moving To Madeira, Bitcoin Atlantis & Building on Nostr

In this show, I sit down with three of my friends to get an update on the emerging bitcoin 'circular economy' in Madeira, Portugal (where they are all now living), as well as to discuss the upcoming 'Bitcoin Atlantis' conference happening there in March 2024. But first, we get the discussion started talking about recent developments on the Nostr protocol, which both Gigi and Pablo are heavily involved in. Just prior to Bitcoin Atlantis, they will be hosting a 2-month program called 'Sovereign Engineering', in which 21 participants will come from all over the world to build something(s) cool on bitcoin and/or Nostr.

Bitcoin & Macro Hang #6 w/ Pysh, Booth, Foss & Gromen

Every now and then, this crew gets together to discuss the current macroeconomic situation, and of course, the role that bitcoin is playing within it.

Bitcoin Health Hang #1 w/ 'NobodyCaribou'

Health has been central to my life for more than 20 years, so it's been fascinating (and surprising) to observe the impact which learning about and adopting bitcoin seems to be having on how people approach their diet, fitness, and many other aspects of well-being. What is inspiring this? Is it a 'lower time preference'? More hope and optimism about the future? The effects of encountering some kind of profound truth? To delve into these questions, Nick, a bitcoiner and physical therapist in Canada, joined me for the inaugural episode of the ‘Bitcoin Health Hang’. Nick was also an instrumental character in the Freedom Convoy, helping to facilitate donations to the truckers, so we spent the first part of the episode discussing his experiences with that, and what his life has been like since.

Being A Doctor During 'The Hysteria' & The Future Of Medicine w/ Remnant MD

The future of the bitcoin economy will not only be people transacting in bitcoin, but people of all backgrounds, educations, and experiences re-interpreting their professions (and much else), through a 'bitcoin lens'. In keeping with the 'quest for truth' which bitcoin seems to inspire, many people who have gone down the 'bitcoin rabbit hole' have begun questioning the standard dogma as it relates to health, fitness, nutrition, medicine, and have been seeking (and finding) more truthful information and perspectives to integrate into their lives (to great benefit!). 'Remnant MD' is the pseudonym for a medical doctor who falls into this category, and who has begun using his experience and expertise to share a perspective on medicine and health that departs from the 'status quo', or what might be called 'fiat medicine'. Instead, he is sharing and exploring what might be called 'bitcoin medicine' - and in this podcast we explore what such a thing might mean.

Critiquing Jordan Peterson's Views On Anonymity Online

Over the last year or so, Jordan Peterson has been very critical of the quality of online discourse, attributing much of the problem to anonymous/pseudonymous accounts. He refers to such accounts as 'troll demons' or 'dark tetrad types', and has expressed his desire to see them separated from 'verified' users. While his complaints are not unwarranted, I feel that his proposed solutions are overly simplistic, and fail to appreciate the role of anonymous expression, and the dangers/downsides of trying to remove it. As a result, I invited three other bitcoiners (one anon) on to discuss the issue.

The Launch of 'Dare to Dream: A Story From El Salvador'

In November of 2021, I was fortunate enough to be involved in the filming of a documentary about Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. Over the last two years, the director and producer have turned it into a beautiful feature-length documentary, which highlights the incredible people and motivations behind this fascinating story / phenomenon. It was released this week on several streaming platforms and networks for markets all over the world, and will soon be available (to purchase with bitcoin), on the film's website (90% of profits will be going to the Bitcoin Beach crew). It is also the 2 year anniversary of the bitcoin law coming into effect in El Salvador, so I thought it would be a prefect time to have the producer of the film come on to tell the story of making it.

Is China About To Crash? Bitcoiners Discuss China Macro

The Economic Situation in China has recently been attracting more attention, as a result of several economic indicators showing worrying signs. Despite it's robust growth over several decades, there have long been worries about how much has been fuelled by unsustainable amounts of debt, money printing, and the resultant over-production / malinvestment, particularly in the all-important real-estate sector. That said, many opportunities have been missed, and many macro commentators embarrassed, by predicting a 'China crash' that never comes. Given the precarious economic situation that prevails everywhere in the world today, as well as China's massive influence on the global economic situation, I thought it would be interesting to dig into it with two experienced commentators.

Bitcoin Mining on the Homestead w/ Rev.Hodl

Rev.Hodl (@HodlRev) has been building out his homestead operation in Michigan for several years. I had him on the podcast about a year ago to discuss how and why he got started, what he has learned, the details of his operation, and the permaculture philosophy which he has both adopted and added to ('The 8 forms of capital'). He has more recently integrated bitcoin mining into his operation, in various unique and innovative ways, so I invited him back on to share the details of how he is mixing 'high tech' and 'low tech', to make his homestead more resilient, and advance the tools available for sovereign, sustainable and noble living.

The Ramaswamy Candidacy w/ Jordan Schachtel & Vijay Boyapati

Vivek Ramaswamy burst onto the American political scene in early 2023, after announcing his presidential campaign (on the Republican side). I was immediately struck by his thoughtfulness and eloquence, but even more so by his 'radical' policy positions (which I largely support), and the detail with which he is explaining how he will execute them. Vivek appears to me to be properly diagnosing many of the issues confronting the US (and the world more broadly today), and seems to have a unique courage and ability to articulate what he believes to be the truth, regardless of the forum he is speaking in (and whatever pushback he may receive as a result). Does he just have his finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist, and is saying what people want to hear? It doesn't seem like it to me, but of course, the point is for it to not seem like that, and as such, politics is forever a domain that one should be especially sceptical of (and secondary to individual action). As a result, I invited Jordan Schachtel, an independent journalist who has been critical of Ramaswamy, and Vijay Boyapati, someone who's been on Vivek's podcast and who's been more positive on him, on the show to discuss his candidacy through a 'bitcoiner' perspective.

Finding God Through Bitcoin w/ Reed (@FreedomMoney21)

Reed reached out to me a while back, saying that his journey of understanding bitcoin, and all the different disciplines required to do so, had ultimately led him back to god. This inspired him to begin writing about his shift in perspective, in a number of very thought-provoking articles on medium. He asked if I'd be open to a discussion sometime, and I agreed, saying that if it turned out to be interesting, we could put it on the podcast feed.

Building 'The Regenaissance' - Education, Apparel, Community w/ Ryan Griggs

Ryan Griggs is the founder of the 'Regenaissance'. According to their website: "The primary mission of The Regenaissance is to permeate the mainstream consciousness with the truth via education, apparel, and community. Ushering in the regeneration of our health via an understanding of food production." After seeing some of Ryan's videos on twitter, and hearing about the work he was doing, I thought he would be another great guest to have on to discuss the rapidly emerging synthesis between bitcoin and regenerative farming / ranching.

'The Anatomy of Bitcoin' (Film) w/ @pedromvpg

Pedro is a content creator, communications designer / UX specialist, and the driving force behind a film project called 'The Anatomy of Bitcoin'. Though this project is still under development, parts of it are available to watch, and it appears likely to be a stunning, entertaining, and effective way to help viewers conceptualize what bitcoin 'is', and how it works. This project is 'open-source', so you can go to the GitHub page and make contributions, or you can go to the website and see a very detailed outline of the film, with concepts, illustrations, and more. I love seeing the combination of bitcoin and art, especially when it is used to educate or enhance our understanding of bitcoin. As such, I thought it would be interesting to have Pedro on the show to discuss it.

Exploring Bitcoin 'Acceleration Theory' w/ Jared Webber

Jared is a young bitcoiner from Canada who recently wrote an article about bitcoin 'acceleration theory', a perspective which basically asserts that it's better to accelerate the decline of fiat, so that bitcoin can replace it sooner, rather than delaying that process by opposing any of the 'clown world' policies or people of the day.

30 Years in China: A More Nuanced Comparison Of Socio-Economic Approaches Between China and 'The West' w/ Peter Alexander

Peter Alexander is an entrepreneur who’s been living and doing business in Shanghai, China for nearly 30 years. He reached out to me recently after hearing one of the ‘Macro Hang’ episodes, where we briefly touched on the subject of China, and in which I suggested that we should be careful not to oversimplify the differences between China and ‘The West’ / US, especially in terms of economic 'model'. Peter agrees, and feels that the economic and social circumstance in China are, broadly speaking, being misrepresented, or at the very least lacking important nuance, by commentators in the bitcoin space (and beyond), and as a result contacted me to see if I’d be open to hearing a more informed and experienced perspective on it. Of course I was interested, so we set up a chat.

Starting A (High-Quality) Beef Business In El Salvador w/ 'Beef Back Better'

Owen Gwilliam, also known as 'Beef Back Better', was on the show about a year ago, as he was making his first trip to El Salvador, doing research on the regenerative / organic ranching situation in the country.

He has spent his initial time there sourcing the absolute best quality beef available, and has recently begun selling direct to clients there (mostly bitcoiners).

Ditching Spotify For 'Streaming Sats': The Future Of Independent Music Publishing w/ Joe Martin

Joe Martin is a musician and a pioneer in the emerging use of the so-called 'value 4 value' model for digital product publishing (and likely more in the future). Joe is about to launch his first full album 'Empty passenger Seat' on May 1st, and has already launched a couple songs from it on Wavelike, a value 4 value platform that makes it easy for listeners to seamlessly send value back to creators. I'm very interested in the emerging possibilities of the value 4 value model, particularly those recently enabled by bitcoin / the lightning network, so I thought it would be a great time to speak with one of it's earliest pioneers in the music industry.

Ditching Marxism & Finding Bitcoin w/ Mercedes Juárez

Mercedes Juárez is a 70+ year old Mexico native, who was introduced to me by a mutual friend. An advocate for Marxism earlier in life, she has more recently found bitcoin, gone down the rabbit hole, and is now pursuing initiatives to help promote and get the benefits of bitcoin to more people, particularly women in less-privileged circumstances in Mexico. I thought Mercedes' situation was interesting, so we set up a chat to dig into her story.

Bitcoiner Book Club: 'Secrets of the Federal Reserve' w/ Daniel Prince, Ray Youssef, & Jace Hartzler

This is another instalment in the 'Bitcoiner Book Club' series. When either myself, or others read a book that they thought was interesting, relevant to bitcoin, and worthy of further discussion, we put together one of these chats. The guests reviewing the books are always different, and are usually included because they asked to be involved (I've found that 4 is a good number). The crew today is Daniel Prince (Host of the OnceBitten Podcast), Jace Hartzler (Bitcoiner), and Ray Youssef (Founder and CEO of Paxful). Unsurprisingly, this discussion became more about the implications of the scenario which the book describes, and related subjects, more that a methodical review of the contents of the book itself. Of course, with a subject this large and influential, there are a million rabbit holes we could have gone down, which means we were inevitably unable to explore many of them. Hopefully what we did end up discussing was useful, interesting, or valuable nevertheless.

What Is The 'Spirit' Of Bitcoin? - Broadening The Discussion On 'Upgrades' w/ Guy Swann

Guy Swann is a friend, bitcoiner, and creator and host of 'Bitcoin Audible', a podcast where he reads the top articles in the bitcoin space, and provides extensive and valuable commentary on them.   Last week Guy and I recorded a podcast in which we discussed the recent 'banking crisis', and the individual psychological dynamics that are involved (both cause and effect) in a financial system like the one we currently have. We ran out of time to cover the other topic which I was hoping to discuss with Guy, which was the upgrade process to bitcoin. In my opinion, there is insufficient discussion of the logic or rationale of potential upgrades to bitcoin, no clear framework on how one might balance known and unknown risks and rewards, in the process of forming their opinion on, ultimately, how they 'define' bitcoin for themselves - what they believe it should and could 'be'. So, we spent the bulk of this episode covering that topic.

A Bitcoiner's Perspective on the Banking 'Crisis' w/ Guy Swann

Guy Swann is a friend, bitcoiner, and creator and host of 'Bitcoin Audible', a podcast where he reads the top articles in the bitcoin space, and provides extensive and valuable commentary on them.   I've known Guy since I've been in the bitcoin space, but we hadn't spoken in a while, so we booked a podcast to have a catch up and discuss some things happening in bitcoin that I was hoping to get his opinion on.   As it turns out, the day of our recording was Monday the 13th of 2023, when the US Treasury / Government / Federal Reserve, took actions to 'not bail out' Silicon Valley Bank, and take possession and shutter Silvergate and Signature bank (which serviced the bitcoin and 'crypto' industry).   As a result, we used our time to discuss this topic, how we think it was handled, the systemic dynamics that lead to it occurring in the first place, and our many critiques of them, and finally, why 'bitcoin fixes this' :)   Enjoy!   --   More from Guy:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/TheGuySwann WEBSITE: guyswann.com More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).

Getting A Job In Bitcoin w/ Andy & Eric of Bitcoin Talent Co

It's a very common phenomenon that when people get orange-pilled, and begin heading down the 'bitcoin rabbit-hole', they have an increasing desire to shift their job / career to work in bitcoin.   Additionally, while the bitcoin-only industry is still fairly small, if we are right about it's prospects, there will be a ton of new companies popping up over the coming years (and a ton of growth in existing ones), seeking to fill a huge number of positions with value-aligned hires.  This is where Bitcoin Talent Co comes in. Their goal is to match capable, mission-driven bitcoiners, with companies and positions that can benefit from their talents, and provide them with a means to fulfill their desire to stack sats and contribute to bitcoin.   Andy and Eric are 2 of the 3 co-founders of this new venture, and asked if I'd be open to having them on for a chat. As I want to see as many good bitcoiners working on/in bitcoin as possible, I though it was a great idea.   Enjoy!   -- More from Andy and Eric:  TWITTER (ANDY): https://twitter.com/theandytee TWITTER (ERIC): https://twitter.com/epodrulz WEBSITE: https://www.bitcointalent.co More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).

Rethinking 'Toxicity', Shifting Focus, Publishing His First Book & The Pace of Bitcoin Adoption w/ Aleks Svetski

Aleks Svetski is an entrepreneur, friend, prolific writer in the bitcoin space, and author of the recently released book 'The UnCommunist Manifesto', a logical, and piercing takedown of 'Communist' thinking, and a simple explanation of the rationale (and virtues) of individual freedom and voluntary exchange.   It really is a great book to clarify ones own thinking, and counter the abundance of misinformed and logically inconsistent rhetoric on the subject which abounds in the discourse today.   In this discussion, Aleks and I discuss the motivations and process behind writing and publishing his first book (with co-author Mark Moss), the shift in mindset he experienced in 2022, and the resulting change in focus and how he 'engages' (online), and his recent article on why he believes 'hyperbitcoinization' will likely take significantly longer than many proponents are expecting.   Enjoy!   --   More from Aleks:  TWITTER: @SvetskiWrites BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/UnCommunist-Manifesto-Message-Responsibility-Liberty/dp/B0B9VH8R4T/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34AXXP049K4AG&keywords=the+uncommunist+manifesto&qid=1677964326&sprefix=the+uncommunis%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-1  THE BITCOIN TIMES: https://bitcointimes.io  ARTICLES: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/aleksandarsvetski More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).

Starting (in 2019) and Scaling a Successful Regenerative Ranching Business w/ Jacob Wolki

Jacob Wolki is an Australian entrepreneur and regenerative farmer. He started out in his family's record store, then moved to selling bicycles, and in 2019, went down the regenerative farming rabbit-hole, which he's now built into a rapidly growing full-time business. I first came across his work when he released a video which went viral, in which he showed how his un-staffed retail location worked. Many bitcoiners, including myself, are increasingly interested in the subject of regenerative farming/ranching, so I was excited to speak with someone who entered the space with no formal background, and has been successful in turning it into a career that is enjoyable, fulfilling, and lucrative. Jake appears to be an honest, hard-working, principled, and thoughtful guy, and it was a pleasure to get to get to know him and learn from him in this discussion.

Giving Up A 'White Collar' Career For Regenerative Ranching w/ Eyvy The Farmer (Norwegian Bitcoiner)

Eyvy is a young Norwegian bitcoiner who, after hearing the stories of other bitcoiners who became interested and got involved in regenerative farming, decided to give up on his 'white collar' career and do the same. He has since bought some land and cattle, and begun his journey of learning how to raise and grow nutritious food, in a manner that is regenerative to the ecosystem, and both 'environmentally' and financially sustainable.  This is a subject that myself, as well as many other bitcoiners are interested in, so I was very happy when Eyvy booked himself in to the show, so I could ask him all the questions I have about his experiences to this point, what he has learned, and how engaging in this kind of work has changed his perspective on many things.

A Discussion About Making Changes/Upgrades To Bitcoin w/ James O'Beirne

James O'Beirne is a friend and contributor to Bitcoin Core since 2015. He is also the author of the recently published 'OP_VAULT' white paper.  While I tend to focus more on the socio-cultural or 'philosophical' aspects of bitcoin, I still think it's very important to have an informed perspective on how bitcoin works 'under the hood', especially in terms of how potential changes or upgrades to it are identified, developed, and implemented. I've found James to have a balanced, thoughtful, and humble perspective on the matter, combined with direct experience and expertise that few others have.

Resolving 'Attachment Trauma', and Delivering Orange-Pills, w/ 'Honest Sharing'

I've recently been trying a new method of booking guests for the show, by posting a Calendly link, and allowing anyone who wishes to come on to book themselves in. I ask them to give a brief summary of what they'd like to discuss, and if it sounds interesting (and has nothing to do with shitcoins), then we go ahead with it. Benni was one such guest, who mentioned that he was trained in several 'therapy models', and wanted to discuss the benefits of 'honest sharing' in relation to 'orange pilling'. He said; 'The more secure our emotional connections become, the more it is possible for BTC wisdom to spread throughout the human network.' That was good enough for me, so we set it up.

MADEIRA UPDATE w/ Andre, Niko, & Rob

At the bitcoin 2022 conference, the President of Madeira got on stage, and announced that Madeira was 'adopting' bitcoin. While this led to much excitement about another potential 'bitcoin citadel' emerging, it also left many questions. Since that time, a number of bitcoiners who are either from there, or have moved there, have been advising the government on what they can do to make Madeira more appealing to bitcoiners that may wish to visit, or even move there. Simultaneously, this same group has been working on a number of grassroots initiatives in Madeira, to promote bitcoin, educate locals, build infrastructure, and communicate to the world what is going on there, all of which, and more, have been formalized into the 'F.R.E.E. Madeira initiative'. I'm always interested in learning more about areas of the world where freedom and quality of life are in relative abundance, and even more so when bitcoin is involved, so I thought I'd have the guys on to get more of the details about what is going on in Madeira since the conference.

Taking Back Your Attention & Generating a Market for it w/ VIDA

Most people in the world don't yet realize that the internet is currently entering a new era. Thanks to the capabilities of bitcoin and the lightning network, a seamless, frictionless, value transfer layer is coming to our online actions and interactions, in what has recently become known as the 'Value Enabled Web'.   Now, money can flow as fast as information, which in addition to opening up many interesting possibilities for combatting some of the internets most persistent and disruptive problems (like spam / bots), also brings the possibility for the pricing mechanism, indeed the most efficient pricing mechanism of all time, to be applied to all activities in cyberspace.   Prices, of course, are what best mediate supply and demand, what best manage scarcity, and what best permits value to emerge and be integrated into market decisions.  What Lyle and his team at VIDA are attempting to do, is develop an interface which helps people to interact with others online, and to set their own price and terms for doing so.   It's already easy to see how impactful of a shift this could represent.  In this episode, we use VIDA to record our conversation, while simultaneously live-streaming it to Twitter (and setting our fee for people to drop in and send us a message).  It's still early days, and there are bound to be lots of kinks to work out (it seems the audio/video sometimes went out of sink in this recording), but it's clear that the Value Enabled Web is coming and represents innumerable possibilities for improving the quality of our interactions both on and offline.   Enjoy!   --   More from Lyle:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/lylepratt VIDA: https://vida.page/lylepratt More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com Once you buy bitcoin, taking custody of it is extremely important, if you want to maximize the benefit of this unique asset.

How Bitcoin Mining Could Accelerate the Development of Small Modular (Nuclear) Reactors

Small Modular Reactor technology represents the potential for a clean, reliable, abundant, and versatile energy production technology, that could be a major boon to much of the world.   However, the technology is still nascent, and as a result, not yet cost-competitive with other generation technologies.  As more solutions compete on the market, and economies of scale develop, this is likely to change.   Perhaps the quickest way that the economics of SMR technology could be improved, is by de-risking capital allocation, improving efficiency, and thereby accelerating ROI and market competitiveness.   The way to achieve this, is by integrating bitcoin mining.  Making this case to regulators, investors, entrepreneurs and others, is what Ryan MacLeod is currently engaged in.   Enjoy!   --   More from Ryan:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/NuclearBitcoinr More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah If you're in Canada and looking to buy bitcoin at competitive rates, with an emphasis on privacy and security, check out bullbitcoin.com.

Friday Hang with Erik and Gigi

Erik and Gigi are some of my closest friends, so on a recent Friday we decided to get together for a catch-up and a chat.

Bitcoin Plebcast w/ Seb Bunney: Why and How Does Bitcoin Influence What We Strive to Achieve / Become?

Seb hit me up recently saying that he found the concepts contained in 'Money Messiah' (a recent written work of mine) interesting, and he was wondering if I'd be open to having a discussion about my motivations in writing it, as well as to share his own experiences and thoughts which have emerged as a result of pursing a deeper understanding of bitcoin.

Conversations w/ Gigi Part 1

Gigi is a dear friend, colleague, and phenomenal contributor to the bitcoin space. Over the course of the last couple years we’ve had several (over 50?) calls where we mostly just hang out and discuss bitcoin. At least for me, they always end up being extremely enjoyable, interesting, and useful in helping me to explore and refine certain ideas, and generally push forward my understanding of the many aspects of bitcoin. Instead of relegating them all the the ether (or google’s servers), we finally decided to start recording some, in the event that anyone else might find them entertaining, useful, supportive, or otherwise worth listening to. So, this is the first.

Plebcast w/ Stephan Besel: A Nurse on the Covid Frontlines Gets Orange-Pilled

Stephan is a bitcoiner who reached out to me on twitter to see if I'd be up for having a chat sometime. He mentioned that his bitcoin orange-pilling during Covid, as well as what he had witnessed on the hospital frontlines, had quite radically changed his view of the medical industry, and thought it would make for an interesting discussion. I agreed, so we recorded a conversation, and later decided to publish it publicly.

AJ Scalia and Drew Armstrong are, respectively, the CEO and President of Cathedra Bitcoin, a publicly-listed (Canada) bitcoin mining company. I met Aj and Drew at the beefsteak prior to the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami. We were having an interesting conversation around bitcoin mining and what it’s growing significance meant for the energy industry, and how we understand and interact with energy generally as a species / civilization. I mentioned at the time that it would be great to record something, and so about 9 months later, we finally put it together.

Mandates & Emergenices: How We Got Here, and How We Move Forward w/ Dr. Julie Ponesse

Dr. Julie Ponesse is a former university professor, and holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Western Ontario, with areas of specialization in ethics and ancient philosophy. In September 2021 she recorded a video, expressing her disagreement and opposition to the vaccine mandates which her university was instituting. Her video was a level-headed, articulate, and informed critique of the validity of vaccine mandates, and as a result, went ‘viral’ online. As a result of this, she has become a respected voice among those voicing their concerns and opposition to vaccine mandates and pandemic restrictions generally. She recently published a book, entitled ‘My Choice: The Ethical Case Against Covid-19 Mandates’. I’ve very much enjoyed listening to her perspective on this issue, and therefore invited her on for a discussion about it all.

Dialogos w/ John Vervaeke - Part 1: What is 'The Meaning Crisis'?

John Vervaeke is a “Psychology and Cognitive Science Professor, integrating science and spirituality to solve the ‘Meaning Crisis’. I was introduced to his work through his 50-part series ‘Awakening from the Meaning Crisis’, in which John leverages his staggering familiarity and understanding of an enormous amount of the worlds philosophical, psychological, spiritual / religious, and historical literature, combined with his own insights and experiences, to put forward a contribution to the apparent ‘meaning crisis’ which much of the global culture faces today. I not only share John’s conviction that we are currently confronting such a circumstance, but I’ve also been exploring and writing about the role which bitcoin may play in the emergence of a ‘solution’ to that ‘problem’. In this first discussion, we don’t discuss bitcoin at all, but rather focus on identifying what the ‘meaning crisis’ is, and how we might have found ourself in this situation. It’s my hope that this will be the first of several discussions with John, as it seems to me that he has much useful wisdom to share in my journey of attempting to discover and understand ‘deeper meaning’, and what role, if any, bitcoin is to play in it.

Bitcoin & the Freedom Convoy w/ NobodyCaribou

Nobody Caribou is a bitcoiner who has been on the ground in Ottawa, sharing the TRUTH of what is going on there to the world, via twitter. He has also been helping out in different ways, and discussing the merits of bitcoin with a number of the truckers, which has become especially relevant since GoFundMe refused to release the $9 million that had been raised for their cause. He has also, with other well-known Canadian bitcoiners, set up a bitcoin-based donation page (link below), where people from anywhere in the world can contribute bitcoin donations WHICH CANNOT BE STOPPED. I have tremendous gratitude for what he and the truckers are doing for the cause of freedom, so I thought it would be interesting to have him on for a chat, and to further amplify the true spirit behind this peaceful movement.

Bitcoin and Spirituality w/ Bang Bitcoin & Pierre Rochard

As I've been exploring in this podcast, as well as in my most recent written piece 'Money Messiah: God, Bitcoin, & The Evolution of Consciousness', my quest to understand bitcoin has been leading me to a re-evaluation of some of the most fundamental aspects or components which orient or determine how we experience and engage the world, including things like value, meaning, truth, freedom, love, and several others. These concepts, of course, have also historically been the purview of the 'religious' or 'spiritual' pursuits, and so it seems necessary to delve into that domain, if we wish to see what wisdom or insights might emerge from it, to help us better contextualize the meaning of bitcoin (or both). This particular conversation arose from an exchange on twitter, where it was made clear that this subject was something which we all were interested in exploring further. So, we thought it would be fun and fruitful to get together discuss it.

'Sacred Hunting' w/ Mansal Denton

The quality and source of my food has been a top priority for me for many years, but I've always felt a sense of guilt and hypocrisy for the degree to which I was separated from the 'nitty-gritty' of the sacrifices involved in sourcing my food. I've longed for a closer and more considerate relationship to what is required to be provided with the nutrition required to sustain myself optimally. I feel we've haphazardly done away with recognizing the importance of intention and ritual in what has been, and should still be treated as, a sacred affair (taking a life so that I/you may continue yours).  As a result, when I was recommended Mansal's book 'Sacred Hunting', I immediately bought and read it. Mansal is bringing back 'the sacred' to our relationship to our sustenance, and in the process, helping people awaken valuable aspects of themselves, and heal others, that have been too-long and detrimentally ignored or suppressed.

Untapped Growth Series EP2

This is the second episode in the long-form series I am doing with Untapped Growth. If you haven't yet listened to the first episode, I suggest starting there for optimal continuity and coherence. Enjoy! -- Series description: As most reading this will know, bitcoin is a genuinely unprecedented phenomenon, which appears to have far-reaching implications which we are only just beginning to appreciate. Additionally, the more one learns about bitcoin, the more they discover there is to learn. This podcast was primarily motivated by my interest to speak with others who've been gripped by this thing, and have a discussion with them, in the hope that doing so will contribute to the refinement of my understanding of it in some way. However, given how mysterious bitcoin is, and how far-reaching it's relevance, understanding it requires investigating a plethora of related fields, concepts, themes, ideas and systems of knowledge. Doing so properly requires the right conversational partner, and sufficient time. I've recently been inspired by my friend Robert Breedlove, who is pioneering a new super-long-form format, on his podcast 'The What is Money Show' (which I highly recommend you check out). I believe his longest thus far is with Michael Saylor, and at the time of writing they've done 17 shows at over 1 hour each. While this format may not be for everyone, the idea of getting together with some of the brightest, most genuine people I've come across, and feeling no time constraints whatsoever as we explore some of the most challenging or meaningful aspects of the bitcoin phenomenon (and life generally), was very appealing. So, I figured I'd give it a try. This first series is with Joel (aka. Untapped Growth). Joel has appeared on the podcast a few times, and is doing incredibly interesting and important work in regenerative ranching / citadel building. He's also an extremely thoughtful, wise and articulate individual, who I've had the pleasure of spending some great in-person time with, discussing many of the topics which we both find deeply meaningful. As a result, I couldn't think of anyone better to try out this new format with. Pretty excited for it actually! -- More from Untapped: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/untappedgrowth WEBSITE: https://untappedgrowth.com/decentralizedgrazing-donation/ More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY If you're in Canada and looking to buy bitcoin at competitive rates, with an emphasis on privacy and security, check out bullbitcoin.com.

Untapped Growth Series EP1

As most reading this will know, bitcoin is a genuinely unprecedented phenomenon, which appears to have far-reaching implications which we are only just beginning to appreciate. Additionally, the more one learns about bitcoin, the more they discover there is to learn. This podcast was primarily motivated by my interest to speak with others who've been gripped by this thing, and have a discussion with them, in the hope that doing so will contribute to the refinement of my understanding of it in some way. However, given how mysterious bitcoin is, and how far-reaching it's relevance, understanding it requires investigating a plethora of related fields, concepts, themes, ideas and systems of knowledge. Doing so properly requires the right conversational partner, and sufficient time. I've recently been inspired by my friend Robert Breedlove, who is pioneering a new super-long-form format, on his podcast 'The What is Money Show' (which I highly recommend you check out). I believe his longest thus far is with Michael Saylor, and at the time of writing they've done 17 shows at over 1 hour each. While this format may not be for everyone, the idea of getting together with some of the brightest, most genuine people I've come across, and feeling no time constraints whatsoever as we explore some of the most challenging or meaningful aspects of the bitcoin phenomenon (and life generally), was very appealing. So, I figured I'd give it a try. This first series is with Joel (aka. Untapped Growth). Joel has appeared on the podcast a few times, and is doing incredibly interesting and important work in regenerative ranching / citadel building. He's also an extremely thoughtful, wise and articulate individual, who I've had the pleasure of spending some great in-person time with, discussing many of the topics which we both find deeply meaningful. As a result, I couldn't think of anyone better to try out this new format with. Pretty excited for it actually! Enjoy! Note: I'm somewhat mobile at the moment, and my recording conditions are not ideal. I also moved around a lot in this episode (felt like walking around), so the audio isn't great, but hopefully it's not too distracting to enjoy the conversation. I'm working on solutions for this. -- More from Untapped: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/untappedgrowth WEBSITE: https://untappedgrowth.com/decentralizedgrazing-donation/ More from me:         TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA       YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg       MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex       INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY          If you're in Canada and looking to buy bitcoin at competitive rates, with an emphasis on privacy and security, check out bullbitcoin.com.           Once you buy bitcoin, you should take self-custody.

Bison Ranching and Bitcoin w/ David Henry

I'm extremely interested in the convergence of bitcoin and regenerative farming / ranching.    Fixing our food, and the environment in which it is raised, is critical to becoming strong and independent individuals, as well as to the building of healthy, sovereign families.   As a result, when I see a bitcoiner building a business or career in this field, and imbuing it with 'bitcoin principles' (as well as leveraging bitcoin as a financial tool), I get super excited to talk to them.   I'm always amazed at the quality of people I end up becoming connected with in this pursuit - this was no exception.   Enjoy.   --   More from David:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/davidhenry114 WEBSITE: https://www.stellarprovisions.com  More from me:        TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA      YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg      MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex      INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY         If you're in Canada and looking to buy bitcoin at competitive rates, with an emphasis on privacy and security, check out bullbitcoin.com.          Once you buy bitcoin, you should take self-custody.

What is Your 'Line in the Sand'? w/ George Gammon

George Gammon is the host/creator of two popular YouTube channels, in which he breaks down complex, and often misunderstood, economic and financial topics, and makes them easy for anyone to understand. George's work has made it easier for hundred's of thousands of people to better understand, or at the very least better investigate, what is going on in the world, and how to navigate it. Recently, George has been focussing on the incredible economic damage, and the frightening disregard for individual liberty, done at the hands of governments in the wake of C19.

Soulexporter and Soulexboy (son) on 'Meshtadels' and Living the Bitcoin Life

I first came across this father/son duo via an article in Citadel21, in which they laid out their vision for how the 'bitcoin citadel' model would unfold.  Finding ways to establish and maintain a life of freedom and prosperity is increasingly important today, as powerful forces conspire to forcefully impose their ideologies and worldview on everyone else. It is an extremely concerning trend that necessitates very serious consideration of how one is to navigate such a landscape successfully, and contribute to pushing back against it, by building a life that is able to defend against such an immoral and tyrannical encroachment. As a result, I thought it would be interesting to have a chat with these two, and hear more about their thinking on the matter.

Bitcoin Ranching Update

I'm sure many would agree that the world seems to be falling further into chaos with each passing day.    Bitcoiners have been discussing this problem for a long time, as well as the necessity to build a parallel system in response, for those who wish to opt-out of the old system, and opt-in to one more in-line with their principles and values (most of all, freedom).   While they've done that with money (bitcoin), and continue to build technologies that preserve privacy and circumvent censorship, the foundation of any life, culture and civilization, is food.    The guys on the show today recognize that, and have been working hard to build a resilient, accessible model, for people to establish greater food security, adopt a different lifestyle, and regenerate and become stewards of the environment in the process.    This is what has become known as 'Decentralized Grazzing' or 'Bitcoin Ranching'.   If this is your first exposure to this concept, I strongly suggest you go back and listen to my first episode with Joel (untapped growth), as well as the previous episode with this same crew.   Enjoy!   --   More from the ranchers:   TWITTER (Poof): https://twitter.com/BitcoinAndCows TWITTER (Tim): https://twitter.com/tmcel TWITTER (Joel): https://twitter.com/untappedgrowth WEBSITE (Joel): https://untappedgrowth.com/decentralizedgrazing/  More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY  The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Lubomir Arsov, Creator of 'In Shadow', on the Sickness of 'Modern' Culture, Truth, Spirituality, Religion, Transformation, and Bitcoin

Lubomir Arsov is the creator of the film 'In Shadow'. The film deals with concepts and themes relating to the degradation of modern culture, and the psychological, emotional, ideological, economic, and spiritual antecedents which have contributed to it. It is a sharp and provocative film, which illustrates the ugliness of our current situation, but finishes with powerful imagery of hope and transcendence. Although there was no reference to bitcoin in the film, many of the same criticisms of modern culture are often discussed in the bitcoin space, and so I thought it would be interesting to speak with Lubo, to hear more about his perspective and motivations in creating the film. What follower was a broad conversation about spirituality, psychedelics, psychology, religion, value, bitcoin, and much more.

Revolutionary Cycles Converging with Mark Moss

For many, the events and changes which we observe throughout the course of our life can appear random, seemingly without predictable cause or pattern. As a result, we relegate ourselves to simply reacting to things as they occur, which often means we are far more subject to the imposition which those events cause, than we might have been, had we acted sooner. To some, it feels like we are currently entering into another historical period of great change. To others, it simply seems like a disruption, soon to return to regular programming. Making the case (to friends and loved ones), that it is indeed the former which is occurring, and therefore certain special measures should be taken to survive and thrive in such an environment, can be a difficult task. On a recent trip to El Salvador, Mark was explaining to me his thesis about the convergence happening right now of several recurring cycles, and how it may be a useful framework for anticipating what is to come. I thought that it might be a useful framework to help explain what is happening to others, so I invited Mark on to discuss in detail.

Douglas Bakkum, CEO of ShiftCrypto, and Co-Creator of the BitBox02 (bitcoin-only) Hardware Wallet

Buying bitcoin is not enough. It is essential to take self-custody of your bitcoin, to benefit from the full self-sovereignty over your money that bitcoin permits.   Hardware wallets have become the preferred way to custody bitcoin, which makes it important to understand how they are developed and built.   Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to have the co-creator of popular hardware wallet, the BitBox02 (bitcoin-only edition), on the show, to discuss all the details that go in to these extremely important devices.   Enjoy!   -- DISCLAIMER: The BitBox02 is a sponsor of this show.   More from Douglas / ShiftCrypto:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/douglasbakkum TWITTER: https://twitter.com/ShiftCryptoHQ WEBSITE: https://shiftcrypto.ch/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/?utm_source=rapidfire&utm_medium=webcast&utm_campaign=landingpage&ref=rapidfire    More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY  The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

The Beautiful Beginnings of Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte w/ Jorge and Chimbera

I recently made a trip down to El Zonte, El Salvador, to see and experience what has become a famous town for its broad use of bitcoin, and the impetus for El Salvador's new Bitcoin legal tender law. I met Jorge and Chimbera at Hope House, a home base for charitable work they have been doing in the area, and a work space for bitcoin-related projects. They told me that they exercise every morning at 6am, so I asked if I could join them. For the next 4 days we got up early, went on tough jungle runs, ocean swims, and just generally enjoyed hanging out with each other in the beautiful surroundings. I became friends with them, saw what kind of people they were, and thought it would be fun to jam on a pod and get more of the real story behind all the recent hype.

Developing a Rational Perspective on Fossil Fuels and Climate Change w/ Alex Epstein

Alex Epstein is philosopher, and the author of 'The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels'.   I've appreciated Alex's work in helping to bring balance to the discourse around climate change, and in particular the role played by fossil fuels in that dynamic.   The narrative around fossil fuels and climate change has become so ingrained in our culture, that if you question it, you are often ridiculed, derided, or labeled a 'denier'.  I appreciate that Alex is willing to take the criticism so that we all may hear what he has to say, and hopefully develop a more truthful perspective on the matter.    Enjoy!    --    More from Alex:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/AlexEpstein  YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/ImproveThePlanet  WEBSITE: https://industrialprogress.com   More from me:   TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY    The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Mayor Scott Conger - Bitcoin for Better Cities

If you've been hanging out on twitter you may have seen several people with Laser eyes imposed over their profile pictures. Though this started as a meme around bitcoin reaching 100k dollars in price (#LaserRayUntil100k), it has become a signal for ones support of what bitcoin represents. Recently even some politicians in the US have been showing their alignment with bitcoin by changing their profile photos to the laser eyes. Mayor Scott Conger of Jackson, Tennessee, is one of those politicians, so I thought it would be fun to have him on the show to hear why he made this change, and to hear his thoughts on bitcoin and how it could be used to benefit his constituents.

Bringing Back Craftsmanship - Chad Urban of the American College of Building Arts

In the bitcoin space we often discuss the many insidious impacts of being on a 'fiat' money standard. We also look to previous periods in which societies used 'sound money', to see what elements of culture, art, business etc. might have been impacted by the difference in monetary standard. As bitcoin develops, it's becoming clear that the change in time preference that it inspires in many (a changed relationship to time and work), is causing a re-emergence of appreciation for high-quality, highly-skilled, long-lasting, beauty-centric architecture and construction. The American College of Building Arts is taking a unique approach to education, teaching both the theory/philosophy, and the traditional methods required to create graduates who are highly-skilled craftsmen. I'm a huge critic of the current systems of education, and also very excited by the novel approaches beginning to be developed to improve it, so I thought it would be interesting to speak with someone who is building a solution of particular relevance to many of the topics we often discuss in bitcoin land.  Enjoy!  --  More from Chad / ACBA:  TWITTER (Chad): https://twitter.com/Chad_Urban  TWITTER (ACBA): https://twitter.com/ACBACharleston  WEBSITE: https://acba.edu  More from me:           TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA            YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg            MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex            INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY         Get 10% off on the Bitcoin 2022 Conference in Miami!

Nik Bhatia - Bitcoin is More than an Asset, it's a (New) Layered Financial System

Nik Bhatia is the author of the new book 'Layered Money: From Gold and Dollars, to Bitcoin and Central Bank Digital Currencies'.  In the book, Nik explores the history of our current financial system, and details the various layers which comprise it. He then analyzes bitcoin through a 'layered money' lens, and makes the case for why he believes it will evolve in to the future reserve currency of the world. As this is Nik's first book, I thought it would be interesting to discuss his writing experience, the challenges he encountered, and some the processes and tactics he used to get it over the line.  Enjoy!  --  More from Nik:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/timevalueofbtc  BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Layered-Money-Dollars-Bitcoin-Currencies/dp/1736110527/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1619467256&sr=8-1  More from me:          TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA           YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg           MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex           INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY       The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Michael Krieger on Bitcoin 'Pleb' Culture (and lots more)

Michael Krieger is the creator and editor of the financial, economic, political and cultural blog, libertyblitzkrieg.com. He is also a long-time proponent of bitcoin.   Michael has been highly critical of policy measures enacted during the pandemic, and has been vocal in expressing his concern regarding potential future measures that further impinge on individual rights and freedoms. He has also recently come to appreciate the 'bitcoin pleb culture', and will be collaborating with a group of passionate bitcoiners (including myself), to publish a book on the subject, hopefully out in summer 2021. This was a very broad and wide-ranging discussion on the socio-cultural dynamics at play in the world today.    Enjoy!    --    More from Michael:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/LibertyBlitz  WEBSITE: https://libertyblitzkrieg.com/  More from me:          TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA           YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg           MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex           INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY       The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Orange-Pilled at 19, Why Bitcoin is So Important w/ Dylan LeClair

I first came across Dylan on twitter, where I had been enjoying his takes on bitcoin, economics, sovereignty, politics and related topics. This led me to reading some of his work which had been published on his blog, as well as by Bitcoin Magazine.   I later found out that he was only 20 years old, and I was fairly blown away by the sophistication of his perspective on bitcoin, and his maturity and understanding of things more broadly.   Dylan seems to have always been a bright kid, but there is no doubt that the 'orange pill' has had a powerful effect on him, so I thought it would be fun to chat with him to hear more of his story and perspective on this rapidly evolving phenomenon.    Enjoy!    --    More from Dylan:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BTCization  WEBSITE: https://21stparadigm.com/   More from me:          TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA           YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg           MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex           INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY       The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Decentralized Grazing - Regenerative Cattle Co-ops and the Foundations of Bitcoin Citadels

Fiat money has created distorted incentives, and been the cause of a great many imbalances, and destructive trends economically, socially, and even spiritually.   Understanding this relationship, and the many insidious ways in which the effects of fiat money manifest themselves, does however take some time to see clearly.   The food industry, and in particular, sustainable, regenerative, family-led farming, is a particularly tragic casualty of our degrading and unfair system of money.   In this episode, I speak with two bitcoiners who recognize this, have felt it first hand, and who are working on a solution to turn it around.   They are using a first-principles, low time-preference approach to solving the problems of 'fiat-farming', by aligning incentives between nature, investor, and operator, to create a truly inspiring solution, that may very well serve as the foundational for the emergence of genuine Bitcoin Citadels (sovereign living).   I can't think of a podcast that has ever left me so excited, hope you enjoy it too!   --   More from my guests:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/untappedgrowth TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BitcoinAndCows WEBSITE: https://untappedgrowth.com/decentralizedgrazing/  More from me:        TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA         YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg         MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex         INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY    The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Bitcoin and Behavior: Transformations from the Rabbit-Hole w/ @BangBitcoin

People who have fallen down the 'bitcoin rabbit-hole' often report dramatic changes to their thinking and perspective as a result of doing so, which leads to a variety of positive changes in their habits, behaviours, and lives generally.   It is such a common phenomenon, that it doesn't appear to receive that much attention amongst bitcoiners, despite how peculiar a phenomenon it is.   I happen to think that this is the MOST interesting aspect of bitcoin, because after all, what else is there other than how we act and interact?   In an effort to understand what's going on further, and showcase it to a broader audience, I've started a dedicated series to speak with people willing to share their stories of how bitcoin has motivated their transformations.    Enjoy!    --    More from BB:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BangBitcoin   More from me:         TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA          YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg          MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex          INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY     The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Adam Skelly of Adamson BBQ - Challenging the Government 'Lockdowns' in Canada

Adam Skelly is the founder and operator of Adamson BBQ, a texas-style BBQ in Ontario Canada.   In November of 2020, Adam defied the Ontario lockdown orders to continue operating his restaurants, and to engage in civil disobedience, protesting the unprecedented lockdown orders that have done tremendous harm to small businesses, their owners and staff, and which he felt were an infringement on his (and everyone else's) rights.   Adam was arrested, charged, and billed $187,000 by the City of Toronto, for the expense they incurred by sending in the police presence to arrest him and control the situation.   I find Adam's actions to be incredibly courageous, and I think he's right to both question the legal right of governments to impose on freedoms in this way, and ask serious questions about the justifications for doing so.   Adam is doing what he believes is right, and fighting to have the merits of the governments actions be scrutinized, so that truth can come to light, and justice can be upheld.   These are admirable motivations in my book, so I thought it would be interesting to have him on for a chat about his journey and the details surrounding his situation.   Enjoy!   --   More from Adam:  INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/adamsonbarbecue/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/adamsonbarbecue  More from me:        TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA         YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg         MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex         INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY             The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Bitcoiner Book Club Explores Jordan Peterson's 'Maps of Meaning'

Maps of Meaning is Jordan Peterson's first book, written in the late 90's, and largely unknown to much of his following.  Nevertheless, it is an extremely profound book, dealing with the most fundamental of questions regarding the structure of reality, and how humans have attempted to comprehend it, and figure out how best to navigate it.   The book also had a profound impression on some other bitcoiners, so we decided to get together and explore it together.   It's a pretty ambititous endeavour to try to tackle this thing, and this is by no means meant to be an exhaustive analysis.

Greg Foss on Canada's Bitcoin ETF, Valuing Bitcoin, and Where to Look for the Looming Global Debt Crises

Gregg Foss has 32 years experience in high-yield credit markets and has been heavily involved in the Canadian bitcoin scene since 2016.   In this show we discuss what the credit default swap market is saying about creditworthiness and default risk for governments around the world today, and how to interpret this market to come to a unique valuation for bitcoin.   We then move on to the recent launch of the bitcoin ETF in Canada, where the massive demand is coming from, what it means for the 'closed-end' funds, and what opportunities the market is throwing up as a result.   Finally, we discuss his involvement in innovative power generation and distribution solutions through Validus Power, with fascinating implications for the bitcoin mining industry.    Enjoy!    --    More from Greg:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FossGregfoss   WEBSITE: https://www.validuspower.com/    More from me:         TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA          YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg          MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex          INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY              The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Maxime Bernier is back to talk Freedom and Bitcoin

My first interview with Maxime was conducted in April of 2020, at the very start of the pandemic.  The government responses throughout 2020 have been far more extreme than Max and I had speculated about at that time, and the economic implications are both vast and highly concerning. Subsequent to our conversation, I gifted Max a copy of 'The Bitcoin Standard', so that he could learn more about bitcoin, and perhaps see how it may serve as a solution to some of the larger problems we face.   I thought now was a good time to re-connect with Max, to discuss the past year, and hear how his bitcoin education journey is going.    Enjoy!    --    More from Max/PPC:   TWITTER (Max): https://twitter.com/MaximeBernier  TWITTER (PPC): https://twitter.com/peoplespca    More from me:   TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA    YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg    MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex    INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY     The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

HODLONAUT

For hardcore bitcoiners, Hodlonaut needs to introduction.  For everyone else..he is a pseudonymous account on twitter with a cat dressed in a space suit for an avatar. Ya dig? lol. I suppose all you really need to know is that he is a man who is a passionate advocate for bitcoin and the many freedoms which it facilitates and inspires. Having fought public legal battles with the self-proclaimed (yet widely dismissed) creator of bitcoin, and initiating the first large-scale public use of bitcoin's 'Lightning Network', he has recently devoted his time to publishing a bitcoin cultural magazine, called 'Citadel 21', which showcases the fascinating, unique, and liberating culture that is emerging around bitcoin, by hosting contributions from many of the great writers and artists emerging in the space. I'd been looking forward to this discussion for some time, and it was exactly as enjoyable as I thought it would be.  Hope you like it too!  --  More from Hodlonaut:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/hodlonaut  WEBSITE: https://www.citadel21.com/  More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY  The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Michael Saylor (more recently known as the 'GigaChad') is the founder and CEO of MicroStrategy, a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ.

What followed was a hard and fast trip down the 'bitcoin rabbit hole', and a dramatic shift in his perspective on money, economics, investing and a variety of other domains.   Michael and his company made big news in August when they announced the conversion of the bulk of their corporate treasury reserve to bitcoin (about $450 million).  This move made big waves across the bitcoin space, and since then he has been vocal about his excitement for what bitcoin represents, and has shared his thoughts through various podcast interviews, and keen insights on twitter. Michael has also been vocal in his support of the bitcoin 'community', referring to them as the 'cyber hornets', and as such, conceded to come on for a chat with me after many of them swarmed him on twitter and pressured him into doing so:) It's awesome to add such a great mind and kindred spirit to the bitcoiner ranks.  Enjoy!  ---  More from Michael:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/michael_saylor  WEBSITE: https://www.microstrategy.com/en/bitcoin  SAYLOR ACADEMY: https://www.saylor.org/  More from me:        TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA        YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg        MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex       INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

BITCOINER BOOK CLUB #4 - The Ethics of Money Production

In these 'Bitcoiner Book Club' discussions, I bring together 4-5 bitcoiners who volunteer to come on and share their insights on some classic books.   The books are typically ones that are quite popular amongst bitcoiners, and which for many has helped form the foundation of their understanding of bitcoin.   This discussion was on 'The Ethics of Money Production' by Jorg Guido Hulsmann.  It was written in 2008, but has quickly become a clasic for being a simple treatise on the perils of the monopoly production of money (government sanction vs market-determined).   If you find this discussion interesting, I highly recommend you read the book.    Enjoy!    --    Twitter accounts of guests:    Al: https://twitter.com/lacrosse_al  Richard: https://twitter.com/rjames_BTC  Greg: https://twitter.com/gregzaj1  Cory: https://twitter.com/coryklippsten    More from me:       TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA       YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg       MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex       INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

BITCOIN IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE LEGACY ENERGY INDUSTRY with Steve Barbour and Marty Bent

Even though bitcoin has been around for over 11 years now, we are just beginning to discover how to leverage its unique attributes to solve existing problems, and create new oportunities. Though most people think of bitcoin's impact on money and finance, its unique characteristics are proving to be extremely useful to another industry - energy. Steve Barbour and Marty Bent are both involved in the leading companies which are building solutions for harnessing waste and stranded gas from oil fields, to mine bitcoin. In doing so, they are allowing energy producers to establish new revenue streams, while simultaneously reducing their environmental footprint. As you'll hear in this discussion, though in its infancy, this is a solution that seems poised to revolutionize the energy industry.

TO MULTI-SIG OR NOT w/ Phil Geiger and Ben Carman

Bitcoin security is one of the most important things to learn about when entering this space. It also requires constant refinement, as new technologies and methods are developed for providing more robust and functional solutions. Multi-Sig is one such method that has become an increasingly popular way to secure bitcoin, in a manner that is not reliant upon a single point of failure. However, some people have not been sufficiently convinced of the benefits to warrant going through the effort and learning curve of making such a change to their current setup. I thought it would be helpful to have a discussion about the merits and drawbacks of this approach to security with two people on either side of the debate.  Enjoy!  -  More from Phil:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/phil_geiger  WEBSITE: https://unchained-capital.com/  More from Ben:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/benthecarman  More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA   YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg   MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex   INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

DEVELOPER IN FOCUS: Must everyone agree on 'what bitcoin is'? w/ Jeremy Rubin

Jeremy Rubin is a contributor to the Bitcoin Core software project, among other projects and initiatives in the technology space.   I'm extremely fascinated by the people who contribute to improving the technology that underpins bitcoin - how they think about bitcoin, their personal philosophies and ideologies, and how and why they have decided to devote their time to contributing to this project.   I'm also not a very technologically inclined person myself, so I feel its important to speak with those who are, so I can gain further insight and understanding into how bitcoin truly works 'under the hood'.   One fascinating question to me is "does everyone who supports, contributes or uses bitcoin have to be 'ideologically aligned' on what bitcoin 'is'?".  We explored this question and lots more in this discussion.    Enjoy!    --    More from Jeremy:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/JeremyRubin   BLOG: https://rubin.io/   JUDICA WEBSITE: https://judica.org/    More from me:       TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA       YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg       MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex       INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

His extensive research, and clinical experience, have led him to the conclusion that a diet composed of almost exclusively ‘nose-to-tail’, properly raised animal foods is the diet which aligns with how the human body has evolved, and therefore allows it to function most optimally.   Paul recognizes that such a proposition may be surprising, even offensive to some people, which is why he has taken it upon himself to make sure he has studied every aspect of the diet, and every critique, in extreme depth.   He recently published the results of his research and experience in a book called ‘The Carnivore Code’, which covers many of the details of the diet, clears up many misconceptions, and explains why animal food is all the body needs to thrive.   Myself, as well as a lot of other bitcoiners, have begun experimenting with the Carnivore Diet, or at least a diet with a greater focus on animal meat, so I thought it would be interesting to have him on and pick his brain a bit.   A lot more than 90 minutes would be required to fully explain all the details of this approach to eating, and I could have easily spoken to Paul for 4-5 hours, but he’s a busy guy, so we covered as much ground as we could with the time we had.   For more info from Paul, check out the links below.    Enjoy!    —    More from Paul:    TWITTER: https://twitter.com/CarnivoreMD   WEBSITE (Heart and Soil): https://heartandsoil.co/   WEBSITE (Personal): https://carnivoremd.com/  Continuous Glucose Monitor: nutrisense.io     More from me:     TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA     YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg     MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex     INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

TALKING INFLATION WITH BITCOINERS IN IRAN, TURKEY, LEBANON & ARGENTINA

Many countries around the world have experienced substantial levels of inflation in recent years, with some of the most notable being Argentina, Lebanon, Iran and Turkey.    To those of us with relatively 'stable' inflation (note: inflation is theft), we may not appreciate how life changes when money begins to rapidly loose its value.  Of course, the problems are not just economic, but they morph into social and political problems that can become extremely unpleasant and oppressive.   I thought it would be interesting to talk with some bitcoiners from these countries, to try and learn more about what life has been like for them over the last few years, and how they and others are using bitcoin to protect themselves from the injurious effects of inflation, which ultimately await us all.   Enjoy!   --   Guests on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Klajnberg  https://twitter.com/Thomssmn  https://twitter.com/1971Bubble  https://twitter.com/Ziya_Sadr More from me:   TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA   YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg   MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex   INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

CORPORATIONS BUYING BITCOIN w/ Christopher Gimmer

Christopher Gimmer is the co-founder of Snappa, a software company that simplifies graphic design.  Chris released a blog post recently, explaining why his company made the decision to add bitcoin to their balance sheet, by converting a large portion of the company's cash balance to bitcoin.  It was an excellently written piece, which also serves as a fantastic primer for explaining the investment case for bitcoin generally.    Of course, this comes on the heels of the big announcement by MicroStrategy in early August, which announced that they were converting $250million of their balance sheet cash to bitcoin.   I believe this is a trend that we will see accelerate rapidly, so I thought it would be interesting to get Chris to come on and explain the thinking behind his companies decision, and discuss some more of the details around it.   Enjoy!    --   More from Chris:  TWITTER: https://snappa.com/app  ARTICLE: https://chrisgimmer.com/bitcoin-reserve-asset/   More from Snappa:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SnappaHQ  WEBSITE: https://snappa.com/app   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

Bitcoin as a Reserve Asset w/ Bitcoin Magazine, Tahinis Restaurant & Float Toronto

MicroStrategy, a publicly listed company with a market cap over $1billion, made waves in August by purchasing $250million dollars worth of bitcoin, an amount representing the vast majority of their ‘reserve assets’. This was a major move, that surprised many in both scale and scope, and is likely to serve as watershed moment in the story of corporate accumulation of bitcoin. There are several, albeit smaller businesses, that preceded MicroStrategy in seeing the valuable role bitcoin could play as a reserve asset on their balance sheets, and I thought it would be fun to get a few of them together to discuss their decision to do so.

BITCOINER BOOK CLUB #3 - Masters and Slaves of Money

This week for the Bitcoiner Book Club, we decided to discuss a phenomenal article by Robert Breedlove entitled, 'Masters and Slaves of Money'.  Robert has emerged as one of the most thoughtful and compelling writers in the bitcoin space, and this piece was so well received (I read/listened to it 6 times!), and so relevant to our era, that I couldn't resist bringing some bitociners together to dig into it.

BITCOINER BOOK CLUB #1 - The Sovereign Individual

In this first episode of 'Bitcoiner Book Club', we discuss 'The Sovereign Individual', which analyzes the evolution of human civilization through the lens of how technological innovation impacts the 'logic of violence'. Written in 1997, and read in 2020, one is struck by the unbelievable predictive accuracy of the book, which among other things, serves to reinforce the validity of the underlying thesis.    From my perspective, this book provides the best framing I've yet come across, for understanding why things are the way they are, what causes them to change, and what to expect when they do so.   This book appeals greatly to many bitcoiners for several reasons. First, the book accurately predicts the emergence of 'cybermoney' and the 'bank of nowhere', and correctly describes several attributes that ultimately came to be represented in bitcoin. Secondly, it speaks to the liberating capacity of technology, and the shifting of the balance of power from large social structures, back to the individual, and in doing so offering the opportunity for greater individual freedom. This is a goal or ideal which many bitcoiners strive for, and the book details the forces that are making this possible (if not inevitable).   Anyways, as this was the first episode, the format may change as we go along, but I really enjoyed this first attempt at exploring some of the main takeaways from a book that made such a powerful impression on myself and the other participants.   Hope you enjoy it too!   --   Twitter profiles of participants:   https://twitter.com/TheCryptoconomy  https://twitter.com/67tallchris  https://twitter.com/MrBlakeCan  https://twitter.com/BTCJSON1  https://twitter.com/rjames_BTC    More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

BITCOIN SAVED MY LIFE w/ @My_Livin_Truth

This was a fun one. One of the peculiarities of bitcoin is the number of anonymous accounts on twitter with whom people interact. It's nothing sinister, some people just take a different approach to privacy than others. 'Optimus Fields' (@My_Livin_Truth) is one of them, and also the co-host of a relatively new podcast "Bitcoin Kidnergarten". Anyways, I've had several interactions with Optimus on twitter, and more recently we were both involved in the 'Drinks in Quarantine' group chat hosted by Bitcoin Magazine. It was a great chat, and off the back of that we decided that it was time for us to have a one on one. So we did, and it ended up being an awesome and wide-ranging discussion about hope, purpose, personal development, happiness, spirituality, psychedelics, community, and the many positive impacts which are often experienced as a result of learning about and engaging in bitcoin. If this sounds strange to you, have a listen, and I guarantee it will at least provide you with a lot of new food for thought. Anyways, this was a super fun discussion with another awesome bitcoiner.

Bitcoin and Black Lives Matter: Is Racism the Root Problem?

Isaiah Jackson is the author of the book 'Bitcoin and Black America'.   Aleks Svetski is the founder of The Amber App, an app that allows users to make regular purchases of bitcoin (Dollar Cost Average), as well as an outspoken critic of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and other collectivist ideologies.   As with so many social issues these days, it seems as though conversations which discuss both causes and potential solutions that are counter to the mainstream narrative, are not only unpopular, but are in many cases derided, ignored, or banned altogether.   This conversation was an attempt to have an open conversation about the root causes of some of the social issues society is facing today, with a focus on the BLM movement, and a discussion about what we believe is the most effective potential solution -- bitcoin.  If you get offended when people express opinions and ideas that are different then your own, this likely won't appeal to you.   If you'd like to hear some calm and reasoned discourse about these issues, from people of diverse backgrounds, who are genuinely seeking the best solutions available, perhaps you'll enjoy it.   Cheers!   --   More from Isaiah:  BOOK: https://bitcoinandblackamerica.com/  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/bitcoinzay   More from Aleks:  AMBER: https://www.getamber.io/  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/AleksSvetski  MEDIUM: https://medium.com/@AleksSvetski   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

@Croesus_BTC: Bitcoin and the Technology Adoption Life Cycle - Where are we now?

@Croesus_BTC is an anonymous account on twitter who released a thought-provoking analysis of bitcoin's growth and adoption, through the lens of a standard technology adoption curve, with comparison to specific historical examples.   Interestingly, a key component of bitcoin's architecture, the 4-year reward-halving cycle, was used as the length of time for each standard deviation of the proposed adoption curve.   The halving cycle has been used before, most notably in the well-known 'Stock-to-flow' model, to model bitcoin's growth over those 4-year periods, however plotting it over a typical technology adoption curve is, to my knowledge, unique.  As a result, I thought it would be interesting to have @Croesus_BTC on to explain it and discuss further.  Enjoy!   --   More from @Croesus_BTC:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Croesus_BTC  TWEET THREAD: https://twitter.com/Croesus_BTC/status/1271165665236246529?s=20   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

Gene Epstein Round 2: Calculating the Consumer Price Index (CPI) & the Effects of Money Printing

We exist in a time of unprecendented government spending and expansion of central bank balance sheets. This is a nice way of saying 'money printing'. The myriad negative impacts of money printing are becoming increasingly understood by people around the world today, but assessing and measuring those effects remains a contentious issue shrowded in complexity.   The CPI is the metric used by governments around the world to 'measure' inflation, and many believe it does not accurately reflect the true level of currency debasement done by central bank money printing, nor it's many insidious affects.   The CPI is also instrumental in various government calculations, with many policy implications.    Gene Epstein is the former Chief Economist at the New York Stock Exchange, and the former economics editor at Barron's magazine. These days he is the Director at the Soho Forum, hosting debates on relevant social and economic issues.   I spoke to Gene once before in 2019, and when I asked the Twitterverse for someone to come on for a deep-dive into in the CPI, Gene contacted me to say that he had spent a lot of time studying this topic, and would love to come on to discuss.  So he joined me for another marathon discussion about inflation, CPI, bitcoin and lots more.   Enjoy!   --   More from Gene:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/GeneSohoForum  SOHO FORUM: https://www.thesohoforum.org/   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

Bitcoiners in the Wild: @HodlerThanThou

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been recording daily live-streams with random bitcoiners. If I have an hour or two, I post on twitter to see if anyone would like to hop on a stream, and I go with the first DM that comes in. In today’s episode of what I’m affectionately referring to as ‘Bitcoiners in the Wild’, I sit down with Sir Badminton of Bitcoin (@HodlerThanThou), for a discussion about his Citadel in rural France, the background that led him to bitcoin, why bitcoin seems to influence behaviour so much, and his recent efforts at creating dank bitcoin memes. Really, really enjoyed this conversation. Hopefully you do too! — More from Badders: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/HodlerThanThou More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

CTRL PEW: The Latest on the 3D Printed Gun Revolution

Ctrl Pew is an expert in the realm of 3D printed guns. I think at this point everyone has heard the term, but relatively few people are familiar with the state and development of the technology. I was recently surprised to learn how quickly it was evolving, so I thought it was finally time to speak with someone who could explain it all to me.  3D printed guns, like bitcoin, represent a tool for establishing greater self-sovereignty, and so I thought a deep dive into the subject would be appealing to other bitcoiners.

The Bitcoin Renaissance - Internal Change

This episode is a recording of a panel I recently hosted at the 'Value of Bitcoin Digital' conference. In nearly all of my conversations, my guests explain how interacting with bitcoin has changed their behaviour patterns, often in fundamental ways. On the surface, this seems like a curious phenomenon, however once you begin to understand how the money we use affects our behaviour, it begins to become more clear why this occurs. However, this topic does not often get discussed at conferences, as more economic, technical or investment-related discussions predominate.  It is my view that the only thing that REALLY matters, is how the tools we use change our behaviour. As a result, I thought it would be interesting to bring together some awesome bitcoiners to discuss how engaging in bitcoin has influenced their lives, and how they see it continuing to do so into the future.

Erik Cason: Bitcoin is Messianic

I was recently listening to the Citizen Bitcoin podcast (one of my favourites) and Erik Cason was the guest. I was enthralled by how Erik was articulating so many profound thoughts, strung together one after the other, in an extremely open and genuine manner. As soon as the interview ended, I was super excited to have my own conversation with Erik, so I DM'd him on Twitter and invited him on the show.  Thankfully he obliged, and we had an awesome 2-hour conversation about some of the deeper philosophical, political and personal implications of bitcoin. Many of the concepts we discussed have been expanded on in many of Erik's great articles at his blog, https://cryptosovereignty.org/ Enjoy! -- More from Erik: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Erikcason WEBSITE: https://cryptosovereignty.org/ More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

Lawrence H White: Bitcoin or Gold?

Lawrence H. White is a professor of economics at George Mason University, and a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. He is considered an expert on banking and monetary policy, and has written a number of books on money and banking including,  The Clash of Economic Ideas (Cambridge University Press, 2012), The Theory of Monetary Institutions (Basil Blackwell, 1999), Free Banking in Britain (2nd ed., Institute of Economic Affairs, 1995), and Competition and Currency (NYU Press, 1989). Recently I’ve been more vocal on twitter about gold’s failings as ‘money'. On one of those posts, Lawrence responded, and a lengthy back-and-forth ensued. It was suggested that we move the conversation over to a podcast format for a more in-depth discussion. Keyvan Devani (Total Bitcoin Podcast) and Daniel Prince (Once BITten podcast) thought it might be fun to join in on the action too. Despite my thinking that this may cause Lawrence to feel as though he would be ganged-up on, he agreed to come on for a chat, so we put it together!

Zuby: Bitcoin Just Makes Sense

Zuby is a rapper, author, coach and all-around free-thinking individual. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, nor change his mind if new information or perspectives dictate it’s rational to do so. These qualities always draw me to people. It reflects a mind that is open to learning, and not overtaken by popular ideologies or socio-cultural narratives. I’m even more intrigued, when such a perspective leads people to discovering and seeing the value in bitcoin, and this is exactly what happened with Zuby. Lately, Zuby has be discussing bitcoin on his podcast, as well as on twitter, and I thought it would be fun to have him on to hear his story and learn what he finds so interesting about it.

Brandon Quittem w/ Citizen Bitcoin: Bitcoin Symbiosis Part 2

Brandon Quittem is the writer behind the absolutely brilliant 4-part series exploring the similarities and implications between the structure, functioning and impact of mycelium (the underground network which gives rise to mushrooms), and bitcoin. Brandon released part 4 of his series this week, which is titled 'Bitcoin is a Catalyst for Human Evolution (Symbiosis)'.  As it turns out, both myself and Brady, the host of the Citizen Bitcoin podcast (one of my all-time favourites), were eager to hop on a pod with Brandon to discuss, so we decided it might be fun to experiment and explore this final installment of Brandon's excellent series together.  Unsurprisingly, in addition to being extremely enjoyable, it got 'cosmic' very quickly.  I love these guys, and it's always such a pleasure to get to 'hang' with them.  Hope you enjoy it too! -- More from Brandon: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Bquittem MEDIUM (Part 4): https://medium.com/@BrandonQuittem/bitcoin-is-a-catalyst-for-human-evolution-symbiosis-part-4-4-4c6563cb9254  WEBSITE: https://www.brandonquittem.com/ More from Brady: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/CitizenBitcoin WEBSITE: https://citizenbitcoin.world/ PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/citizen-bitcoin/id1350483937 SWAN BITCOIN: https://www.swanbitcoin.com/ More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

Explaining Bitcoin to Traditional Investors

This is a re-publish of an interview I did on ‘The Canadian Investor’ podcast last week. I decided to share it here because I was curious to see if it would be a good resource for people who have not yet begun their journey down the proverbial bitcoin ‘rabbit-hole’. The two hosts come from a traditional investing background, and are not very familiar with bitcoin. However, they were receptive to what I was saying, and it seemed as though by the end of the discussion they were much more interested in learning more, so I thought, maybe it would have the same effect on others with a similar perspective. I’d love to hear your feedback on this episode. Both on how I articulated some of the main points of bitcoin, and the responses or feedback from any ‘noobs’ you forward it to.

Maxime Bernier: The Politics of Freedom and Sound Money

Maxime Bernier is the leader of the People’s Party of Canada. After losing an extremely close race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada (roughly equivalent to the Republican Party in the US) by a vote of 49/51, Maxime decided that none of the existing political parties in Canada were addressing the important social and economic issues that Canada is facing. As a result, he formed the People’s Party of Canada, grounded in the principles of freedom, responsibility, fairness and respect. Since doing so, Maxime has brought a refreshing (and critical) honesty and rational thinking to the Canadian political discourse. Maxime is not afraid to speak the truth, despite knowing that it will garner negative reactions from many people, and that the mainstream media  and his political opponents will twist his words and mischaracterize him to suit their own ends. It is this courage to speak the truth, regardless of the cost, that interested me in Maxime and caused me to respect and admire him greatly. After hearing him espouse the principles of sound money and a free-market approach to economics, as well as denouncing the ridiculous Keynesian, big-government approach that dominates the world today, I knew I had to speak with him. So I reached out to his team, and was very pleased that they agreed to an interview. We discussed politics, economics, the current corona/economic crises, and finished on a discussion about sound money and Gold vs. Bitcoin:) As far as I can tell, Max is a great guy, and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with him.

Rapid-Fire: Preston Pysh

Well it’s been a hell of a couple weeks. Definitely one for the history books in both the bitcoin and traditional markets.

Preston Pysh: Market Crash, Macro Drivers, and Why Bitcoin May Soon Explode

Well it’s been a hell of a week. Definitely one for the history books in both the bitcoin and traditional markets. Coronavirus is causing major disruptions all over the world, and the knock-on economic effects are causing large sell-offs everywhere. The virus may very well be the catalyst that exposes the fragility of the existing economic paradigm. If that is the case, there is a lot of very difficult change on the horizon. Only time will tell. Preston Pysh is the host of the ‘We Study Billionaires’ podcast, and is a frequent guest on several investing and bitcoin podcasts, discussing macro events and circumstances, and providing his opinions on how best to navigate uncertain times. This conversation took place on Monday, March 9th, after an historic global financial market route, and is being released on Friday the 13th of March, a day after a massive ~50% draw-down in bitcoin. These are interesting times to say the least, and I was delighted to have Preston come on and share his perspective. Enjoy!

Andy Edstrom: Why Buy Bitcoin (The Book)

Andy Edstrom CF!, CFP, is a financial advisor at the registered investment advisory firm, WESCAP group. Prior to this, Andy has held positions at Ewing Management Group, Tennenbaum Capital Partners and Goldman Sachs. Some time ago he came across bitcoin and believed the upside it represented necessitated brining it to his clients to consider as a valuable addition to their portfolios. However, making the investment case for bitcoin to people who have yet to ‘go down the rabbit hole’ was a difficult task. Feeling that bitcoin was an investment that many of his clients absolutely must at least consider, but finding it difficult to explain in one sitting, Andy decided to write a book. That book is ‘Why Buy Bitcoin: Investing Today in the Money of Tomorrow’. I invited Andy to come on the show and discuss.

Jeff Vandroux: Economic Populism, Distributism, and Why Bitcoin Won't Save Capitalism

Jeff Vandroux is an attorney, CPA, bodybuilder, BTCPayServer Contributor, and the founder of Keykeeper IRA. I came to know Jeff via his discussion with Marty Bent on the Tales from the Crypt Podcast. It was clear that Jeff was well-read and thoughtful, but I found myself disagreeing with much of what he was saying, and a bit surprised by his opinions, which seem to differ greatly from your ‘average bitcoiner’.

I recently heard max on a few other podcasts and was simply blown away. To me, Max seems like someone who understands the impact and importance of Bitcoin to a high degree, and is engaging with it fully to construct a life of freedom and propserity. Max shares his knowledge via his YouTube videos and podcast on the World Crypto Network, as well as through his website (towardsliberty.com), the talks he gives, and via his contribution to some of the exciting and important open source projects currently being developed in the space.

Will Reeves: Earn Bitcoin When You Shop w/ Fold

We talk a lot about adoption in the bitcoin space, and the hurdles that may be keeping more people from starting to engage with it. I'm super bullish on the 'bitcoin back' rewards model because it allows people to start getting familiar with bitcoin without having to change their behavior OR take on any risk, it's basically free bitcoin, and that's a pretty damn powerful proposition that many seem to be interested in.

Gene Epstein: Austrian Economics, Soho Debates & Is BTC a 'store of value'?

I recently came across Gene while watching his debate at The Soho Forum with Professor Richard Wolff (link below). Gene, a follower of the Austrian school of economics, represented the 'Capitalism' side, while Richard, a Marxian economist, took the 'Socialism' side. After watching the debate, it was clear in my mind that Gene won (the audience agreed), and so I thought it would be interesting to have him on for a chat. We touched on the debate itself, as well as socialism vs capitalism in general, and then broke into discussion on somethign we DO NOT agree on. This was focused on Gene's assertion that money (including gold and bitcoin) is not, nor should be, a 'store of value', but rather simply a 'medium of exchange'. I disagreed with this, and as a result we engaged in a spirited debate on the subject:) This one is a bit long, so if you'd like to jump right to the 'store of value' discussion, it starts just after the first hour.

Orthopedic surgeon, Air Force vet, World Record holder, Strongman Champion, and most recently, outspoken advocate of a diet based primarily on red meat, also known as ‘The Carnivore Diet’, which also happens to be the title of his upcoming book (November 2019). I’ve had a life-long interest in nutrition, fitness and health, and have been wanting to speak with Shawn since I saw his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

Further Discussion: Brandon Quittem

Brandon Quittem is the author of a series of articles on Medium that has grabbed the attention and expanded the perspective of bitcoiners everywhere. In his 4-part series, Brandon explores the similarities shared between bitcoin and mycelium (the underground fungal network from which mushrooms emerge), referring to bitcoin as a ‘decentralized organism’. Analogies between bitcoin and other natural processes and phenomena have been made before, however none appear to be more apt than the one Brandon makes with mycelium. In my view, such analogies are important, and garner so much interest, because the degree to which an analogy is apt or appropriate, represents the degree of use we may derive from transferring known understandings or insights from it, to the the subject of the analogy, which we are all desperately trying to understand more. Anyways, this was a super fun chat for me. Hope you enjoy it!

Further Discussion: Gigi

**Apologies for the audio on this one, new set-up didn't go so well, lol. It's worst at the beginning.** Gigi is another guest which I first came accross on Twitter. I thought he was putting out some well-articulated and insightful tweets, so I checked him out a little bit further. I then came across two great resources which he has put together: 21lessons.com and bitcoin-resources.com. In the first, Gigi grafts his own journey learning about bitcoin, onto the classic tale of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in an informative and entertaining way, available in both written and audio format. It's a very convenient way to get caught up on bitcoin. In the second, he provides a collection of great content for those who want to dive deeper, it too is a great resource full of useful information. No particular angle in this chat, just thought it might be fun to connect and geek-out about bitcoin for a while. We touched on some of the important narratives around bitcoin, and how more are emerging all of the time, drawing ever-more diverse people into the space. Of course, we got a little cosmic too, because, well, it's fun:) Enjoy!

Dictation: Bitcoin & Fire - Forces of Nature

I was wroking on my computer the other day and somehow started thinking about the similarities between the emergence of fire, and the emergence of bitcoin. I started writing and later that day published it to Medium. I then thought, why restrict it to only the written/readable realm?  So I recorded a reading of it, and published it here:) I enjoy experimenting with the opoorunities that the new media/publishing landscape enables. If you like it, or have any other ideas for me to try out, feel free to hit me up and let me know!  Enjoy!  - More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/30lRjUB INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY YOUTUBE: http://bit.ly/2TDeMy9 MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex

Further Discussion: Matt Odell

Matt is considered an OG in the Bitcoin space. His informed, no-nonsense style of sharing his learning process on Twitter and through his 'Rabbit Hole Recap' episodes on the Tales from the Crypt podcast, has been very well-received by the Bitcoin community and by many people who are trying to learn more about this revolutionary technology. It was awesome to have the chance to speak with someone who is so knowledgeable and who is contributing so much to the development of the space in general.

From the Archive: Bobby Lee (2015)

I thought it would be fun to publish some of the bitcoin interviews I conducted prior to launching the new podcast. This was my very first one, done with Bobby Lee in Shanghai in the fall of 2015. At the time Bobby was the CEO and Co-Founder of BTC China (now BTCC), a prominent bitcoin exchange based in China. This is a great episode for beginngers, as it really digs into the basics of what makes bitcoin special. However, it may also be cool for people at any stage in their bitcoin journey to listen in on what the conversation around bitcoin was like when it was at just $250. Enjoy!

Further Discussion: Alex Adelman, lolli

In the bitcoin community, the subject of adoption is often discussed. How can we get more people to start learning about and interacting with bitcoin? Many people are hesitant to invest in such a volatile asset, and are intimidated by the learning curve required to get involved, and this has slowed adoption. What if you could tell people that all they had to do to start playing with (read: accumulating) bitcoin was to install a browser extension, and shop online as they already do? Nothing to read. No money to loose. Just spend regularly, and earn bitcoin back. Game = Changed. I'm extremely confident that lolli will be a huge catalyst for the more rapid adoption of bitcoin, and as such, I thought it would be awesome to speak with the CEO and Co-Founder, Alex Adelman. Alex is a very open and genuine guy, and clearly passionate about his company and contribution to the bitcoin ecosystem. It was my pleasure to get the chance to speak with him. Remember, the 'Rapid-Fire' episodes are where I ask guests a series of standard questions around bitcoin, money and some other fun stuff. The 'Further Discussion' episodes are a chance to have an open conversation with them and go a little deeper on some of these super interesting topics. Enjoy!

Further Discussion: Raoul Pal

Before the rapid-fire portion of our conversation, I asked Raoul to elaborate on a recent thread on Twitter in which he made his case that the probability was high that the world was on the precipice of a substantial recession. We also had a more general discussion about Bitcoin, how he's approaching it, and his thoughts on its Future.

Raoul Pal, Macro Investor: Global Markets on the Edge, the Bitcoin Hedge, and the 'Netflix of Finance'

Raoul Pal is a former hedge fund manager, the publisher of the Global Macro Investor (a macro-economic and investment strategy research service), and the co-founder and CEO of Real Vision, which he describes as the 'Netflix of Finance' (Long-form interviews with the top investment and financial people in the world). Prior to this interview, I had recently seen a thread Raoul made on twitter, in which he shared several charts which depicted an alarming state of affairs in the global financial system. I wanted to get Raoul on so I could pick his brain a bit about what he was seeing, how to 'play' this market, and what Bitcoin's role will be in this rapidly changing environment.

American Hodl: Bitcoin Twitter Gangster and Relentless Stacker of Sats

American Hodl is the pseudonym for a guy on 'Bitcoin Twitter' (people on twitter that pretty much only tweet about Bitcoin). I came across his tweets somehow, and just kinda liked how he got down, so I asked him if he wanted to record a chat. He agreed, so we did, and it was awesome. P.S. He's also the most relentless stacker of sats (translation: constant buyer of fractions of a bitcoin, known as 'Saotshi's' or 'sats') on Bitcoin twitter, and always boldly broadcasts his purchases. This may seem weird from an outside perspective, but I can assure you everyone in the community loves it, as do I.
