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.

'Sacred Hunting' w/ Mansal Denton 25.01.2022 1:27:01
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.

Plebcast w/ Jace Hartzler: Integrating the Orange Pill 12.01.2022 1:43:49
Sometimes people reach out to me to have an offline chat, to share their ideas, or to get help in refining their thinking in some way.

Bison Ranching and Bitcoin w/ David Henry 04.11.2021 1:54:59
I'm extremely interested in the convergence of bitcoin and regenerative farming / ranching.
