Bitcoin Rapid-Fire

Bitcoin is the future of money, that is my firm belief. I use this show to learn more about this phenomenon, and its various implications, from some of the brightest minds in the space, and beyond. I'm not trying to educate or inform anyone, I'm sharing my own journey of attempting to understand bitcoin, and delving in to some of the less obvious, but incredibly profound, aspects of its emergence in the global culture.

Orange-Pilling Presidents, & Discussing Education on a Bitcoin Standard w/ Daniel Prince 30.07.2022

Daniel Prince is a fellow bitcoin podcaster and a close personal friend.  We got to spend some great time together at the Miami Bitcoin conference in April, amidst his whirlwind of making the case for bitcoin to presidents and hanging out with royalty:)   It had been a while since we caught up, so I figured we'd do so on the pod and discuss what the last few months have been like for him...

Self-Sovereign Homesteading on a Bitcoin Standard w/ HodlRev 13.07.2022
