Hey Fix The Money fam — Yaël here. Today I made an appearance on the Bitcoin Magazine daily Twitter space, talking up my recent article The Silent March of Bitcoin Policies Across US States for the Bitcoin Policy Institute, which I recently joined as a visiting fellow. We wanted to splice it up and offer it to Fix The Money listeners, so here’s the podcast version for your digestion. We talk money...

This episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Greg Foss is a lovely guy. I had the pleasure to spend a couple of days in Bulgaria with him - in autumn 2022. And we even found time to sit down and talk about his Bitcoin-story. Well, it’s almost not a Bitcoin-story at all. Greg knew about the problems with the “fiat ponzi” since he started his banking career in the late 1980ies - when I was just born :...

It is such a pleasure to sit down and talk to financial journalist Izabella Kaminska. She has one of the sharpest minds of her generation - and she doesn’t hold back once an opinion is formed. In more than 10 years at the Financial Times she put the “Alphaville” blog on the map. Izabella left the FT in 2022 to start her own project “The Blind Spot”. Recently she also joined Politico Europe as a Se...

He is the head of Fidelity Digital Assets in Europe. We talk abo...

It’s January 3rd, Happy Birthday Bitcoin! 🎉 Today we open a new chapter on this newsletter/podcast. I sit down with my good friend Yaël Ossowski who has been the second author on “Fix the Money” for a while. Yaël is a long-term Bitcoiner and freedom advocate who’s been actually using Bitcoin in his daily business for a while. He is also deep into all the technical stuff — something I’m getting be...

Out of all definitions of Bitcoin I hear, “Bitcoin is hope” probably comes up the most. It’s really cool to see how people start to get their life in order and build things once they go down the Bitcoin route. The social network of Bitcoin helps a lot here. I could talk to Bitcoiners locally (here in Vienna) or internationally (on Zoom) all day long. Sometimes I do. And I get to meet the most amaz...
