BITVOLT Podcast

By Nico Moran

Real Talk with Bitcoin Industry leaders, developers, miners, CEOs, artists, entrepreneurs, traders and toxic plebs. Some of the most interesting stories i’ve encountered going down the Bitcoin rabbit hole all these years are from everyday Bitcoiners that are not well known, I decided to give those fellow plebs a voice.

(This podcast was initially called “CryptoKreamers” but since I only covered Bitcoin content I felt it would be appropriate to rebrand it to something that represented the content.)

BVP | #028: Bitcoin & Central Bank Digital Currencies w/ Nik Bhatia

BVP | #028: Bitcoin & Central Bank Digital Currencies w/ Nik Bhatia

Join us today with Nik Bhatia, author of Layered Money and adjunct professor of finance at USC Marshall. Today we talk about Bhatia’s journey as a professor, his book, his 2021 Bitcoin experience, El Salvador, and the overall future of Bitcoin in our economy in relation to inflation. Bhatia’s story includes quitting being a bond trader to becoming a bitcoiner. He guides his students on how to participate in the fixed income industry, covering topics like CBDC’s - which Bhatia states, “only exist because of Bitcoin.” Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are the last grasp by central banks trying to compete with Bitcoin.

BVP | #022: Buying NON-KYC Bitcoin in Europe w/ @julian_liniger

BVP | #022: Buying NON-KYC Bitcoin in Europe w/ @julian_liniger

I had a blast talking with Julian Liniger, CEO of Swiss application "Relai." As a former psychology major and MBA student, Julien worked as a banking consultant for many years. This made him realize how broken the financial system truly is, and that is why he "...came to bitcoin, a money that gives you freedom," says Julien. Being a former psychology student, he realized that for 90% of the population, Bitcoin is too hard to understand. Thats why he founded Relai, where they enable everyday people like you and me to buy Bitcoin. Ultimately, Relai hopes to be the world's most accessible Bitcoin investing app. I hope you enjoyed the convo as much as I enjoyed recording it!

BVP | #021: Turning Excess Energy into Bitcoin w/ @denverbitcoin

BVP | #021: Turning Excess Energy into Bitcoin w/ @denverbitcoin

I absolutely love having a miner on the pod but this isn't any miner this is @denverbitcoin who currently works for Upstream Data Inc. a company that helps energy producers turn flared gas into Bitcoin. This changes the game, Bitcoin now sets a floor price for excess energy. We think that this will reshape how human society organizes itself, in the future communities will be built around cheap energy sources no matter how remote those sources are, very exciting times ahead. Hope you enjoy the Pod as much as I enjoyed recording it.

BVP | #008: CoboVault ft. creator Lixin Liu

CoboVault is the only hardware wallet that is completely air-gapped by design. It has no USB plug-ins, it is powered by battery and can only interact with data through an SD card. It physically cannot be connected to a computer which truly makes this one of the coldest hardware wallets around.  

 I talk to Lixin Liu; the creator of the device about what his design philosophy was and asked him some difficult questions from other hardware wallet manufacturers including NVK the designer of the COLDCARD wallet.   Enjoy :)

BVP | #007: Finding Truth through Bitcoin ft. John Vallis

Had the pleasure to get to know John Vallis. Our conversation went off topic many times but It was still interconnected with bitcoin somehow. We explored how bitcoin has created a new way of being or political identity which we coined 'Bitcoinism'. We really go down the rabbit hole in this one, hope you enjoy!
