A Block with Mir

In this block, I sit down with Abubakar in Lugano during the Plan ₿ Summer School. We start with football Roma, Argentina, and a special FC Lugano jersey with “Satoshi” and the number 21 on the back, but quickly move into Bitcoin, philosophy, development, grants, and what it really means to build in this space. Abubakar is a Bitcoin Core contributor, board member at BitTrust, and someone deeply in...

In this block, I sit down with Knut Svanholm in Lugano during the Summer School week. Knut is a writer, educator, musician, rockstar, and one of the most recognizable voices in Bitcoin. In this conversation, we talk about what his life looked like before Bitcoin, how he moved from traditional “fiat jobs” into a Bitcoin-focused life, and what changed along the way. Before Bitcoin, Knut worked at se...

In this block, I sit down with Walter Maffione, who leads the Kaleidoswap team, winner of the Cypher Tank Walter is building Kaleidoswap, a Bitcoin product focused on swaps across Bitcoin layers. We talk about how the project started from a real need, how the team came together through a hackathon, and why interoperability may become one of the most important challenges for the next generation of...

In this very special block, I sit down with Giacomo Zucco… Bitcoin educator, entrepreneur, Cypher Tank judge, and, yes, my husband. This conversation is personal, funny, chaotic, and deeply connected to Bitcoin history. We start by looking back at some of the most meaningful “blocks” we have shared together since 2001, both in our personal life and in Bitcoin. Giacomo recalls one of the most impor...

In this episode, I sit down with Preston Pysh, another incredible Bitcoiner who needs no introduction. Funny enough, we recorded this podcast while I was on a very long sabbatical from my own podcast. Now I’m back, and Preston is the one taking a break from his. It’s a beautiful conversation about: how people react when you go all-in on Bitcoin conviction and career change Bitcoin jobs Ego Death C...

In this episode, we sit down with Blake, the founder of Blitz Wallet and one of the standout builders from Cypher Tank. After placing third out of 149 applicants, Blake became one of the most talked-about participants of the format, not only because of the product, but because of the vision behind it: making Bitcoin easier to use without compromising what makes it powerful. We talk about his journ...

Are you ready for another block? Or maybe even 2 or 3? :) The amazing @efenigson and I had so many topics to discuss! She is a constant personal inspiration to me as a podcaster and a marketing pro I deeply admire. One fil rouge that emerged from our conversation was the importance of professional proof of work. In the Bitcoin world, titles and credentials matter less than your ability to demonstr...

A Block with Mir is back!!! With one of my favourite people in the space and he doesn't need any intro: JACK MALLERS! Not a new podcast… a comeback, actually. I started this in 2016. 10 years, 3 businesses, 2 kids, and 1 new country later, I promised myself I’d bring it back. 10-minute episodes, on average. Just like a Bitcoin block. Raw interviews. Personal stories. Randomness. Italian accent inc...
