Why Does Bitcoin Often Change How People Think About Their Health?
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.
Enjoy!

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.
Enjoy!

The Launch of feature-length documentary: '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.
Enjoy!

Is China's Economy About To Collapse? Bitcoiners Discuss.
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.
Peter St Onge is an economist at the Heritage Foundation and Fellow of the Mines Institute, who has recently been on the bearish side of China's situation.
Peter Alexander is a 30-year China veteran and founder of Z-Ben Advisors, and generally tries to bring nuance to what he believes to be incomplete or biased 'Western' perspectives on China.
Enjoy!

Bitcoiners Discuss the Vivek 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.
Enjoy!

He is also the creator of bitcoinerbooks.com, a website with lists and links to books recommended by certain bitcoiners.
He recently published an op-ed in Bitcoin Magazine entitled 'To Drive Meaningful Adoption, We Should Accept That Bitcoin Is Not For Everyone'.
We'd been meaning to talk for a while, so we used his recent piece as a reason to get tougher for chat.

The 'Physics' of Truth & Bitcoin w/ Noam Hazan

He recently contacted me and shared with me a link to a nearly 3-hour video presentation in which he delves into bitcoin from 'first principles', through the lens of physics, chemistry, psychology and morality.
I found it very interesting, so I invited him on to discuss it in more detail.

How Bitcoin Led Back To Christianity
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.
I enjoyed the conversation, and thought others might also, so we made it available for anyone to listen to.
Enjoy!

Coinjoins, Blacklists, Softforks, & The 'Beginning of Civilization' w/ Max Hillebrand
Max Hillebrand is a 'free software entrepreneur', the CEO of ckSNACKS (The company leading the development of Wasabi Wallet), a strong proponent of individual liberty, bitcoin educator, and a long-time friend of mine.
Max was one of the first guests on this show back in 2019, and I thought, given all the work he has done since then, and the controversy surrounding some of it, as well as all the other development which has occurred in the bitcoin space, it was time to have him back on to discuss it all.
It seems we had a lot to catch up on, as this show unintentionally went on for 4hrs.

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.
Enjoy!
Note: I mistakenly said in the podcast that Ryan had booked himself in via my open Calendly link, but that was a incorrect. I invited him on several months ago, and had forgotten about it by the time he reached back out to set something up. My bad.

'The Anatomy of Bitcoin' (Film) w/ Pedro G
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.
Enjoy!

How Ranchers & Bitcoiners Have Come Together To Fix The Soil, The Food, The Money & More
Jason Wrich is the founder of Wrich Ranches, a regenerative cattle ranch focusing on holistic practices in Crawford, Colorado.
The connection between regenerative cattle raising and bitcoin is one that I have been following for a few years now, and one which I find extremely fascinating. So I invited Jason on to hear his story, get his thoughts on the relationship between the two, and hear about his involvement in the 'beef initiative'.
Enjoy!

30-Year China Business Veteran On Misconceptions & What People Get Wrong When Comparing w/ The US
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.
Enjoy!

A Former Marxist Goes Down The Bitcoiner Rabbit Hole 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 get the full story.
Enjoy!

What Motivates The 'Money Masters' & What's The Appropriate Response?
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), and the book is 'Secrets of the Federal Reserve' by Eustace Mullins.
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.
Enjoy!

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!

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!
