Bitcoin Rapid-Fire

In late November I joined Josh Macin on his show 'The Detox Dudes', for a discussion about the significance and details of the revolution in money that is currently underway.

My first interview with Maxime was conducted in April of 2020, at the very start of the pandemic.  The government responses throughout 2020 have been far more extreme than Max and I had speculated about at that time, and the economic implications are both vast and highly concerning. Subsequent to our conversation, I gifted Max a copy of 'The Bitcoin Standard', so that he could learn more about bitcoin, and perhaps see how it may serve as a solution to some of the larger problems we face.   I thought now was a good time to re-connect with Max, to discuss the past year, and hear how his bitcoin education journey is going.   Enjoy!   --   More from Max/PPC:  TWITTER (Max): https://twitter.com/MaximeBernier TWITTER (PPC): https://twitter.com/peoplespca   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA   YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg   MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex   INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY    If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

For hardcore bitcoiners, Hodlonaut needs to introduction.  For everyone else..he is a pseudonymous account on twitter with a cat dressed in a space suit for an avatar. Ya dig? lol. I suppose all you really need to know is that he is a man who is a passionate advocate for bitcoin and the many freedoms which it facilitates and inspires. Having fought public legal battles with the self-proclaimed (yet widely dismissed) creator of bitcoin, and initiating the first large-scale public use of bitcoin's 'Lightning Network', he has recently devoted his time to publishing a bitcoin cultural magazine, called 'Citadel 21', which showcases the fascinating, unique, and liberating culture that is emerging around bitcoin, by hosting contributions from many of the great writers and artists emerging in the space. I'd been looking forward to this discussion for some time, and it was exactly as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

Dan Held and Brandon Quittem are some of the brightest minds and brilliant writers in the bitcoin space. Their writing has been hugely impactful in helping people to understand what bitcoin is, and why it's so special.   I've been a fan of both their work for quite a while now, so I thought it would be fun to get us all together for a chat.   Enjoy!   --   More from Dan:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/danheld WEBSITE: https://www.danheld.com/  More from Brandon:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Bquittem WEBSITE: https://www.brandonquittem.com/  More from me:         TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA         YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg         MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex        INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY  If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

If you hang around on 'Bitcoin Twitter', it's highly likely that you've come across Sven's work. He takes some of the most pointed and thought-provoking memes from the space, and sets them to beautifully animated and compelling gifs, which help to spread 'the bitcoin message' far and wide.

Jesse Berger is the author of the new book ‘Magic Internet Money’, a fantastic and unique addition to the collection of books seeking to introduce and demystify bitcoin to a broader audience. That said, it's still very much an interesting read and, in my opinion, worthwhile for even the most hardcore bitcoiners. Jesse is an MBA graduate of Ryerson University, and has spent most of his career in ‘legacy finance’, having worked in banking and wealth management. I thought it would be fun to have a chat with Jesse, to hear more about his story and the experience of writing his first book.

Every now and then I connect with my Pal Obi for an 'offline' chat. We spoke last night, and at the end of our catch-up, I thought the conversation might be of interest to some listeners, so I asked Obi if he'd be ok with publishing it (I record all my chats for my personal archives).

Michael Saylor (more recently known as the 'GigaChad') is the founder and CEO of MicroStrategy, a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ. In March of 2020, as a result of the rapidly changing macroeconomic landscape, he took the time to investigate bitcoin, in order to determine if it could be a useful tool for both his company, and himself, in navigating through this unprecedented economic situation. What followed was a hard and fast trip down the 'bitcoin rabbit hole', and a dramatic shift in his perspective on money, economics, investing and a variety of other domains.   Michael and his company made big news in August when they announced the conversion of the bulk of their corporate treasury reserve to bitcoin (about $450 million).  This move made big waves across the bitcoin space, and since then he has been vocal about his excitement for what bitcoin represents, and has shared his thoughts through various podcast interviews, and keen insights on twitter. Michael has also been vocal in his support of the bitcoin 'community', referring to them as the 'cyber hornets', and as such, conceded to come on for a chat with me after many of them swarmed him on twitter and pressured him into doing so:) It's awesome to add such a great mind and kindred spirit to the bitcoiner ranks.

In this podcast, I speak with two bitcoiners who fell down the rabbit hole just this year (2020).   I find it fascinating to hear how people were first pulled into bitcoin, what their initial impressions were, and what their lightbulb moment was.   I connected with these two awesome bitcoiners on twitter, and we had a chat.   Enjoy!   --   Twitter accounts of guests:  Korin: https://twitter.com/til_ain  Labrador: https://twitter.com/BitcoinLabrador   More from me:      TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA      YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg      MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex      INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

In these 'Bitcoiner Book Club' discussions, I bring together 4-5 bitcoiners who volunteer to come on and share their insights on some classic books.   The books are typically ones that are quite popular amongst bitcoiners, and which for many has helped form the foundation of their understanding of bitcoin.   This discussion was on 'The Ethics of Money Production' by Jorg Guido Hulsmann.  It was written in 2008, but has quickly become a clasic for being a simple treatise on the perils of the monopoly production of money (government sanction vs market-determined).   If you find this discussion interesting, I highly recommend you read the book.   Enjoy!   --   Twitter accounts of guests:   Al: https://twitter.com/lacrosse_al Richard: https://twitter.com/rjames_BTC Greg: https://twitter.com/gregzaj1 Cory: https://twitter.com/coryklippsten   More from me:      TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA      YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg      MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex      INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

Lixin Liu is the creator of a great new bitcoin hardware wallet, the CoboVault. This wallet employs industry firsts including true QR code airgapping, as well as fingerprint authentication, a detachable battery, touchscreen interface and many more highly-touted features.   The CoboVault really seems to be taking the bitcoin hardware wallet market to the next level, so I thought it would be interesting to speak with Lixin, to hear his story, and learn more about how and why he decided to create this great product.   Enjoy!   --   Disclosure: Lixin sent me a CoboVault AFTER I invited him to come on for a discussion.   More from Lixin / CoboVault:  LIXIN TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BitcoinLixin  COBOVAULT TWITTER: https://twitter.com/CoboVault  COBOVAULT WEBSITE: https://cobo.com/hardware-wallet/cobo-vault   More from me:     TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA     YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg     MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex     INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

'Bitcoiners in the Wild' is exactly what it sounds like.  It's a series where I record live conversations with relatively 'unknown' bitcoiners, who have reached out to me saying they'd be interested in coming on for a general discussion about bitcoin and related subjects. No prep or planning, no topics discussed beforehand, just a spontaneous discussion between bitcoiners.  It always amazes me how many awesome bitcoiners there are out there, and it's so great to be able to speak with some of them.

Even though bitcoin has been around for over 11 years now, we are just beginning to discover how to leverage its unique attributes to solve existing problems, and create new oportunities. Though most people think of bitcoin's impact on money and finance, its unique characteristics are proving to be extremely useful to another industry - energy. Steve Barbour and Marty Bent are both involved in the leading companies which are building solutions for harnessing waste and stranded gas from oil fields, to mine bitcoin. In doing so, they are allowing energy producers to establish new revenue streams, while simultaneously reducing their environmental footprint. As you'll hear in this discussion, though in its infancy, this is a solution that seems poised to revolutionize the energy industry.

Bitcoin security is one of the most important things to learn about when entering this space. It also requires constant refinement, as new technologies and methods are developed for providing more robust and functional solutions. Multi-Sig is one such method that has become an increasingly popular way to secure bitcoin, in a manner that is not reliant upon a single point of failure. However, some people have not been sufficiently convinced of the benefits to warrant going through the effort and learning curve of making such a change to their current setup. I thought it would be helpful to have a discussion about the merits and drawbacks of this approach to security with two people on either side of the debate.

Preston Pysh is the co-founder of 'The Investor's Podcast' network, the co-host of the 'We Study Billionaires' podcast, and for most bitcoiners, requires no introduction. He has become known as an astute, articulate, and insightful commentator on investing, the macro economic climate, and the emerging role which bitcoin is playing in both these domains. This is my second discussion with Preston, and in it, we cover the recent larege purchase of bitcoin made by MicroStrategy (a publicly traded comapny), the accelerated inflation, UBI, and bitcoin adoption timelines, what the next 18 months may look like, and much more.

Jeremy Rubin is a contributor to the Bitcoin Core software project, among other projects and initiatives in the technology space.   I'm extremely fascinated by the people who contribute to improving the technology that underpins bitcoin - how they think about bitcoin, their personal philosophies and ideologies, and how and why they have decided to devote their time to contributing to this project.   I'm also not a very technologically inclined person myself, so I feel its important to speak with those who are, so I can gain further insight and understanding into how bitcoin truly works 'under the hood'.   One fascinating question to me is "does everyone who supports, contributes or uses bitcoin have to be 'ideologically aligned' on what bitcoin 'is'?".  We explored this question and lots more in this discussion.   Enjoy!   --   More from Jeremy:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/JeremyRubin  BLOG: https://rubin.io/  JUDICA WEBSITE: https://judica.org/   More from me:      TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA      YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg      MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex      INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

Dr. Paul Saladino is THE leading expert on what has become known as ‘The Carnivore Diet’. His extensive research, and clinical experience, have led him to the conclusion that a diet composed of almost exclusively ‘nose-to-tail’, properly raised animal foods is the diet which aligns with how the human body has evolved, and therefore allows it to function most optimally.   Paul recognizes that such a proposition may be surprising, even offensive to some people, which is why he has taken it upon himself to make sure he has studied every aspect of the diet, and every critique, in extreme depth.   He recently published the results of his research and experience in a book called ‘The Carnivore Code’, which covers many of the details of the diet, clears up many misconceptions, and explains why animal food is all the body needs to thrive.   Myself, as well as a lot of other bitcoiners, have begun experimenting with the Carnivore Diet, or at least a diet with a greater focus on animal meat, so I thought it would be interesting to have him on and pick his brain a bit.   A lot more than 90 minutes would be required to fully explain all the details of this approach to eating, and I could have easily spoken to Paul for 4-5 hours, but he’s a busy guy, so we covered as much ground as we could with the time we had.   For more info from Paul, check out the links below.   Enjoy!   —   More from Paul:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/CarnivoreMD  WEBSITE (Heart and Soil): https://heartandsoil.co/  WEBSITE (Personal): https://carnivoremd.com/  Continuous Glucose Monitor: nutrisense.io    More from me:    TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA    YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg    MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex    INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

Many countries around the world have experienced substantial levels of inflation in recent years, with some of the most notable being Argentina, Lebanon, Iran and Turkey.    To those of us with relatively 'stable' inflation (note: inflation is theft), we may not appreciate how life changes when money begins to rapidly loose its value.  Of course, the problems are not just economic, but they morph into social and political problems that can become extremely unpleasant and oppressive.   I thought it would be interesting to talk with some bitcoiners from these countries, to try and learn more about what life has been like for them over the last few years, and how they and others are using bitcoin to protect themselves from the injurious effects of inflation, which ultimately await us all.   Enjoy!   --   Guests on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Klajnberg  https://twitter.com/Thomssmn  https://twitter.com/1971Bubble  https://twitter.com/Ziya_Sadr More from me:   TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA   YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg   MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex   INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

Christopher Gimmer is the co-founder of Snappa, a software company that simplifies graphic design.  Chris released a blog post recently, explaining why his company made the decision to add bitcoin to their balance sheet, by converting a large portion of the company's cash balance to bitcoin.  It was an excellently written piece, which also serves as a fantastic primer for explaining the investment case for bitcoin generally.    Of course, this comes on the heels of the big announcement by MicroStrategy in early August, which announced that they were converting $250million of their balance sheet cash to bitcoin.   I believe this is a trend that we will see accelerate rapidly, so I thought it would be interesting to get Chris to come on and explain the thinking behind his companies decision, and discuss some more of the details around it.   Enjoy!    --   More from Chris:  TWITTER: https://snappa.com/app  ARTICLE: https://chrisgimmer.com/bitcoin-reserve-asset/   More from Snappa:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SnappaHQ  WEBSITE: https://snappa.com/app   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

MicroStrategy, a publicly listed company with a market cap over $1billion, made waves in August by purchasing $250million dollars worth of bitcoin, an amount representing the vast majority of their ‘reserve assets’. This was a major move, that surprised many in both scale and scope, and is likely to serve as watershed moment in the story of corporate accumulation of bitcoin. There are several, albeit smaller businesses, that preceded MicroStrategy in seeing the valuable role bitcoin could play as a reserve asset on their balance sheets, and I thought it would be fun to get a few of them together to discuss their decision to do so.

One of the most common questions with Bitcoin is 'Ya but who controls the code?'.  While the full answer is somewhat complex, the simple answer is that many talented individuals, all over the globe, contribute to the ongoing development of the Bitcoin Network, and Amiti Uttarwar recently became one of them!   In July I heard some of Amiti's story from a profile done on her by Forbes, and was excited to have her on the show to learn more about her background and the details of what she is currently working on.   Enjoy!   --   More from Amiti:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/amizi   More from me:   TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA   YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg   MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex   INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY     If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

The Bitcoiner Book club is an opportunity for some thoughtful bitcoiners to come together to discuss and share insights from some of the books which most shaped or impacted our thinking on economics, money, bitcoin, history, politics and more.   The bitcoiners participating reached out to me to join the discussion because the book being discussed was particularly impactful for them, and they felt that had unique insights to share.   If you have any suggestions for future books, hit me up on twitter (@johnkvallis) and let me know!   Enjoy!   --   TWITTER ACCOUNTS OF PARTICIPANTS:  Al: https://twitter.com/lacrosse_al  Blake: https://twitter.com/MrBlakeCan  Phil: https://twitter.com/MrPseu   More from me:   TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA   YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg   MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex   INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY     If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

On any given night, when I have the time and inclination, I post an invite on twitter for a discussion about bitcoin. I tell anyone who is interested to DM me. I pick the first DM that comes in, and 5 minutes later we are on a livestream talking about bitcoin:)   I love these 'informal' interviews because they allow me to connect with the many great bitcoiners spread out all over the world, swap ideas, share experiences, and just generally have some really enjoyable conversations.   I was introduced to Dr. Stephany by Brandon Quittem, and was told he has a keen interest in exploring the extremely common phenomenon of (often profound) behaviour change inspired by learning about and engaging with bitcoin.   I'm also very interested in this topic, and always jump at the chance to explore it, so we fired up the stream and dove in!   Enjoy!   --   More from Dr. Stephany:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Mark_MNLocal   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

In this first episode of 'Bitcoiner Book Club', we discuss 'The Sovereign Individual', which analyzes the evolution of human civilization through the lens of how technological innovation impacts the 'logic of violence'. Written in 1997, and read in 2020, one is struck by the unbelievable predictive accuracy of the book, which among other things, serves to reinforce the validity of the underlying thesis.    From my perspective, this book provides the best framing I've yet come across, for understanding why things are the way they are, what causes them to change, and what to expect when they do so.   This book appeals greatly to many bitcoiners for several reasons. First, the book accurately predicts the emergence of 'cybermoney' and the 'bank of nowhere', and correctly describes several attributes that ultimately came to be represented in bitcoin. Secondly, it speaks to the liberating capacity of technology, and the shifting of the balance of power from large social structures, back to the individual, and in doing so offering the opportunity for greater individual freedom. This is a goal or ideal which many bitcoiners strive for, and the book details the forces that are making this possible (if not inevitable).   Anyways, as this was the first episode, the format may change as we go along, but I really enjoyed this first attempt at exploring some of the main takeaways from a book that made such a powerful impression on myself and the other participants.   Hope you enjoy it too!   --   Twitter profiles of participants:   https://twitter.com/TheCryptoconomy  https://twitter.com/67tallchris  https://twitter.com/MrBlakeCan  https://twitter.com/BTCJSON1  https://twitter.com/rjames_BTC    More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

Andy Edstrom is a bitcoiner, who (still) works in the 'legacy' finance world, as a Financial Advisor at Wescap Group. He is also the author of the book 'Why Buy Bitcoin: Investing Today in the Money of Tomorrow'. Daniel Prince is the host of the 'Once BITten' podcast, a great podcast which interviews many of the amazing people in the bitcoin space, who previously had a long career in the currency trading business.   And I, John, host the Bitcoiner Rapid-Fire podcast, and previously worked in wealth management in Shanghai, China.   In the bitcoin space, we often talk about (and criticize) many aspects of the 'legacy financial system', but not many bitcoiners have much experience in it.   As a result, we thought it might be fun to get together for a discussion about our experiences in the legacy system, and our motivations for turning our attention toward bitcoin.   Enjoy!   --   More from Andy:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/edstromandrew  BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Why-Buy-Bitcoin-Investing-Tomorrow/dp/1733219609/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1580413817&sr=8-2   More from Daniel:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/princey1976  PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/daniel-prince6/episodes/Whatever-happened-to-that-crazy-Dutch-guy-who-sold-his-house-and-all-his-belongings-for-Bitcoin-eah6af   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

This was a fun one. One of the peculiarities of bitcoin is the number of anonymous accounts on twitter with whom people interact. It's nothing sinister, some people just take a different approach to privacy than others. 'Optimus Fields' (@My_Livin_Truth) is one of them, and also the co-host of a relatively new podcast "Bitcoin Kidnergarten". Anyways, I've had several interactions with Optimus on twitter, and more recently we were both involved in the 'Drinks in Quarantine' group chat hosted by Bitcoin Magazine. It was a great chat, and off the back of that we decided that it was time for us to have a one on one. So we did, and it ended up being an awesome and wide-ranging discussion about hope, purpose, personal development, happiness, spirituality, psychedelics, community, and the many positive impacts which are often experienced as a result of learning about and engaging in bitcoin. If this sounds strange to you, have a listen, and I guarantee it will at least provide you with a lot of new food for thought. Anyways, this was a super fun discussion with another awesome bitcoiner.

Brandon Quittem is the author of the excellent series comparing the similarities between bitcoin and the structure of mycelial/fungal networks. It was extremely well-received and is now believed by many to be 'required reading' for anyone attempting to understand the depth, impact and complexity of bitcoin.   I've had the pleasure of having a number of conversations with Brandon over the past year, and always enjoy a good chat over our shared interest in both bitcoin and psychedelics, as well as several other topics. He will be appearing on the popular show 'Psychedelic Salon' next week,  and wanted to come on for a riff in preparation for that.   Enjoy!   --  More from Brandon:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Bquittem  MEDIUM: https://medium.com/@BrandonQuittem    More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

Isaiah Jackson is the author of the book 'Bitcoin and Black America'.   Aleks Svetski is the founder of The Amber App, an app that allows users to make regular purchases of bitcoin (Dollar Cost Average), as well as an outspoken critic of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and other collectivist ideologies.   As with so many social issues these days, it seems as though conversations which discuss both causes and potential solutions that are counter to the mainstream narrative, are not only unpopular, but are in many cases derided, ignored, or banned altogether.   This conversation was an attempt to have an open conversation about the root causes of some of the social issues society is facing today, with a focus on the BLM movement, and a discussion about what we believe is the most effective potential solution -- bitcoin.  If you get offended when people express opinions and ideas that are different then your own, this likely won't appeal to you.   If you'd like to hear some calm and reasoned discourse about these issues, from people of diverse backgrounds, who are genuinely seeking the best solutions available, perhaps you'll enjoy it.   Cheers!   --   More from Isaiah:  BOOK: https://bitcoinandblackamerica.com/  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/bitcoinzay   More from Aleks:  AMBER: https://www.getamber.io/  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/AleksSvetski  MEDIUM: https://medium.com/@AleksSvetski   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

@Croesus_BTC is an anonymous account on twitter who released a thought-provoking analysis of bitcoin's growth and adoption, through the lens of a standard technology adoption curve, with comparison to specific historical examples.   Interestingly, a key component of bitcoin's architecture, the 4-year reward-halving cycle, was used as the length of time for each standard deviation of the proposed adoption curve.   The halving cycle has been used before, most notably in the well-known 'Stock-to-flow' model, to model bitcoin's growth over those 4-year periods, however plotting it over a typical technology adoption curve is, to my knowledge, unique.  As a result, I thought it would be interesting to have @Croesus_BTC on to explain it and discuss further.  Enjoy!   --   More from @Croesus_BTC:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Croesus_BTC  TWEET THREAD: https://twitter.com/Croesus_BTC/status/1271165665236246529?s=20   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

We exist in a time of unprecendented government spending and expansion of central bank balance sheets. This is a nice way of saying 'money printing'. The myriad negative impacts of money printing are becoming increasingly understood by people around the world today, but assessing and measuring those effects remains a contentious issue shrowded in complexity.   The CPI is the metric used by governments around the world to 'measure' inflation, and many believe it does not accurately reflect the true level of currency debasement done by central bank money printing, nor it's many insidious affects.   The CPI is also instrumental in various government calculations, with many policy implications.    Gene Epstein is the former Chief Economist at the New York Stock Exchange, and the former economics editor at Barron's magazine. These days he is the Director at the Soho Forum, hosting debates on relevant social and economic issues.   I spoke to Gene once before in 2019, and when I asked the Twitterverse for someone to come on for a deep-dive into in the CPI, Gene contacted me to say that he had spent a lot of time studying this topic, and would love to come on to discuss.  So he joined me for another marathon discussion about inflation, CPI, bitcoin and lots more.   Enjoy!   --   More from Gene:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/GeneSohoForum  SOHO FORUM: https://www.thesohoforum.org/   More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA  YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg  MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex  INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY   If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been recording daily live-streams with random bitcoiners. If I have an hour or two, I post on twitter to see if anyone would like to hop on a stream, and I go with the first DM that comes in. In today’s episode of what I’m affectionately referring to as ‘Bitcoiners in the Wild’, I sit down with Sir Badminton of Bitcoin (@HodlerThanThou), for a discussion about his Citadel in rural France, the background that led him to bitcoin, why bitcoin seems to influence behaviour so much, and his recent efforts at creating dank bitcoin memes.

Ctrl Pew is an expert in the realm of 3D printed guns. I think at this point everyone has heard the term, but relatively few people are familiar with the state and development of the technology. I was recently surprised to learn how quickly it was evolving, so I thought it was finally time to speak with someone who could explain it all to me.  3D printed guns, like bitcoin, represent a tool for establishing greater self-sovereignty, and so I thought a deep dive into the subject would be appealing to other bitcoiners.

This episode is a recording of a panel I recently hosted at the 'Value of Bitcoin Digital' conference. In nearly all of my conversations, my guests explain how interacting with bitcoin has changed their behaviour patterns, often in fundamental ways. On the surface, this seems like a curious phenomenon, however once you begin to understand how the money we use affects our behaviour, it begins to become more clear why this occurs. However, this topic does not often get discussed at conferences, as more economic, technical or investment-related discussions predominate.  It is my view that the only thing that REALLY matters, is how the tools we use change our behaviour. As a result, I thought it would be interesting to bring together some awesome bitcoiners to discuss how engaging in bitcoin has influenced their lives, and how they see it continuing to do so into the future.

I was recently listening to the Citizen Bitcoin podcast (one of my favourites) and Erik Cason was the guest. I was enthralled by how Erik was articulating so many profound thoughts, strung together one after the other, in an extremely open and genuine manner. As soon as the interview ended, I was super excited to have my own conversation with Erik, so I DM'd him on Twitter and invited him on the show.  Thankfully he obliged, and we had an awesome 2-hour conversation about some of the deeper philosophical, political and personal implications of bitcoin. Many of the concepts we discussed have been expanded on in many of Erik's great articles at his blog, https://cryptosovereignty.org/ Enjoy! -- More from Erik: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Erikcason WEBSITE: https://cryptosovereignty.org/ More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY If you’re in Canada, and looking to buy bitcoin, Shakepay is an excellent option.

Emil Standstedt is the author of the book “Money Dethroned: A Historical Journey. He also writes about the history of money at his blog bdratings.org. In his writings, Emil has highlighted many of the irresponsible and reckless treatments of money in past era’s. Of course, we are in another era of extreme manipulation and destruction of the main money in use around the world (fiat money), so I thought it would be interesting to have Emil on to explore some of the comparisons between now and the monetary disasters of the past, and look forward to where we may be headed.

He is considered an expert on banking and monetary policy, and has written a number of books on money and banking including,  The Clash of Economic Ideas (Cambridge University Press, 2012), The Theory of Monetary Institutions (Basil Blackwell, 1999), Free Banking in Britain (2nd ed., Institute of Economic Affairs, 1995), and Competition and Currency (NYU Press, 1989). Recently I’ve been more vocal on twitter about gold’s failings as ‘money'. On one of those posts, Lawrence responded, and a lengthy back-and-forth ensued. It was suggested that we move the conversation over to a podcast format for a more in-depth discussion. Keyvan Devani (Total Bitcoin Podcast) and Daniel Prince (Once BITten podcast) thought it might be fun to join in on the action too. Despite my thinking that this may cause Lawrence to feel as though he would be ganged-up on, he agreed to come on for a chat, so we put it together!

Zuby is a rapper, author, coach and all-around free-thinking individual. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, nor change his mind if new information or perspectives dictate it’s rational to do so. These qualities always draw me to people. It reflects a mind that is open to learning, and not overtaken by popular ideologies or socio-cultural narratives. I’m even more intrigued, when such a perspective leads people to discovering and seeing the value in bitcoin, and this is exactly what happened with Zuby. Lately, Zuby has be discussing bitcoin on his podcast, as well as on twitter, and I thought it would be fun to have him on to hear his story and learn what he finds so interesting about it.

Parker Lewis is the Head of Business Development at Unchained Capital, a bitcoin native financial services firm based in Austin, Texas. Aside from the great work he and unchained are doing, Parker has become known for contributing to the space in the form of his excellent blog series entitled ‘Gradually, Then Suddenly’. In this series, Parker explores some of the main misconceptions around bitcoin, as well as some of the major economic and social implications it’s adoption may have. In this conversation, we touch on some new developments at Unchained, the current economic crisis, and speculate on how money and financial markets might function in a bitcoin-denominated world.

Brandon Quittem is the writer behind the absolutely brilliant 4-part series exploring the similarities and implications between the structure, functioning and impact of mycelium (the underground network which gives rise to mushrooms), and bitcoin. Brandon released part 4 of his series this week, which is titled 'Bitcoin is a Catalyst for Human Evolution (Symbiosis)'.  As it turns out, both myself and Brady, the host of the Citizen Bitcoin podcast (one of my all-time favourites), were eager to hop on a pod with Brandon to discuss, so we decided it might be fun to experiment and explore this final installment of Brandon's excellent series together.  Unsurprisingly, in addition to being extremely enjoyable, it got 'cosmic' very quickly.  I love these guys, and it's always such a pleasure to get to 'hang' with them.  Hope you enjoy it too! -- More from Brandon: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Bquittem MEDIUM (Part 4): https://medium.com/@BrandonQuittem/bitcoin-is-a-catalyst-for-human-evolution-symbiosis-part-4-4-4c6563cb9254  WEBSITE: https://www.brandonquittem.com/ More from Brady: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/CitizenBitcoin WEBSITE: https://citizenbitcoin.world/ PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/citizen-bitcoin/id1350483937 SWAN BITCOIN: https://www.swanbitcoin.com/ More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY

This is a re-publish of an interview I did on ‘The Canadian Investor’ podcast last week. I decided to share it here because I was curious to see if it would be a good resource for people who have not yet begun their journey down the proverbial bitcoin ‘rabbit-hole’. The two hosts come from a traditional investing background, and are not very familiar with bitcoin. However, they were receptive to what I was saying, and it seemed as though by the end of the discussion they were much more interested in learning more, so I thought, maybe it would have the same effect on others with a similar perspective. I’d love to hear your feedback on this episode. Both on how I articulated some of the main points of bitcoin, and the responses or feedback from any ‘noobs’ you forward it to.

Jason Williams is the Founder and CEO of PRTI, a company that uses patented technology to turn used or unsaleable tires into fuel, which is then used to mine bitcoin. He is also the Co-Founder and General Partner of Morgan Creek Digital Assets, an experienced entrepreneur with a $500 million exit to his name, as well as a prolific angel investor. I'm extremely excited by the potential for bitcoin mining to revolutionize the energy industry, so I invited Jason to come on the show to discuss the role his company is playing in this, as well as to touch on some of the other exciting things happening around bitcoin today.

Emil Standstedt is the author of the book “Money Dethroned: A Historical Journey. He also writes about the history of money at his blog bdratings.org. In his writings, Emil has highlighted many of the irresponsible and reckless treatments of money in past era’s. Of course, we are in another era of extreme manipulation and destruction of the main money in use around the world (fiat money), so I thought it would be interesting to have Emil on to explore some of the comparisons between now and the monetary disasters of the past, and look forward to where we may be headed.

Didi Taihuttu is from the Netherlands, and is the patriarch of what has become known as 'The Bitcoin Family'. In the fall of 2017, Didi convinced his wife that bitcoin was the future, and that they should sell everything they owned, invest it all in bitcoin, and with their three daughters, travel around the world proselytizing for it. So they did! Since that time, Didi and his family have been educating, speaking and sharing their journey with the world. In this chat we discuss his disappointment in how many in the bitcoin space have responded to the Covid-19 crisis, his experiences with Ayahuasca, what all the media attention has been like, and what he and the family have planned next.

Maxime Bernier is the leader of the People’s Party of Canada. After losing an extremely close race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada (roughly equivalent to the Republican Party in the US) by a vote of 49/51, Maxime decided that none of the existing political parties in Canada were addressing the important social and economic issues that Canada is facing. As a result, he formed the People’s Party of Canada, grounded in the principles of freedom, responsibility, fairness and respect. Since doing so, Maxime has brought a refreshing (and critical) honesty and rational thinking to the Canadian political discourse. Maxime is not afraid to speak the truth, despite knowing that it will garner negative reactions from many people, and that the mainstream media  and his political opponents will twist his words and mischaracterize him to suit their own ends. It is this courage to speak the truth, regardless of the cost, that interested me in Maxime and caused me to respect and admire him greatly. After hearing him espouse the principles of sound money and a free-market approach to economics, as well as denouncing the ridiculous Keynesian, big-government approach that dominates the world today, I knew I had to speak with him. So I reached out to his team, and was very pleased that they agreed to an interview. We discussed politics, economics, the current corona/economic crises, and finished on a discussion about sound money and Gold vs. Bitcoin:) As far as I can tell, Max is a great guy, and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with him.

Well it’s been a hell of a couple weeks. Definitely one for the history books in both the bitcoin and traditional markets. Coronavirus is causing major disruptions all over the world, and the knock-on economic effects are causing large sell-offs everywhere. The virus may very well be the catalyst that exposes the fragility of the existing economic paradigm. If that is the case, there is a lot of very difficult change on the horizon. Only time will tell.

Andy Edstrom CF!, CFP, is a financial advisor at the registered investment advisory firm, WESCAP group. Prior to this, Andy has held positions at Ewing Management Group, Tennenbaum Capital Partners and Goldman Sachs. Some time ago he came across bitcoin and believed the upside it represented necessitated brining it to his clients to consider as a valuable addition to their portfolios. However, making the investment case for bitcoin to people who have yet to ‘go down the rabbit hole’ was a difficult task. Feeling that bitcoin was an investment that many of his clients absolutely must at least consider, but finding it difficult to explain in one sitting, Andy decided to write a book. That book is ‘Why Buy Bitcoin: Investing Today in the Money of Tomorrow’. I invited Andy to come on the show and discuss.

We talk a lot about adoption in the bitcoin space, and the hurdles that may be keeping more people from starting to engage with it. I'm super bullish on the 'bitcoin back' rewards model because it allows people to start getting familiar with bitcoin without having to change their behavior OR take on any risk, it's basically free bitcoin, and that's a pretty damn powerful proposition that many seem to be interested in.

I recently came across Gene while watching his debate at The Soho Forum with Professor Richard Wolff (link below). Gene, a follower of the Austrian school of economics, represented the 'Capitalism' side, while Richard, a Marxian economist, took the 'Socialism' side. After watching the debate, it was clear in my mind that Gene won (the audience agreed), and so I thought it would be interesting to have him on for a chat. We touched on the debate itself, as well as socialism vs capitalism in general, and then broke into discussion on somethign we DO NOT agree on. This was focused on Gene's assertion that money (including gold and bitcoin) is not, nor should be, a 'store of value', but rather simply a 'medium of exchange'. I disagreed with this, and as a result we engaged in a spirited debate on the subject:) This one is a bit long, so if you'd like to jump right to the 'store of value' discussion, it starts just after the first hour.

Mauricio Di Bartolomeo and Adam Reeds are the co-founders of Ledn.io, a Canadian-based financial services firm that currently offers bitcoin savings accounts and bitcoin-backed loans. Mauricio is also originally from Venezuela, and I recently heard him share his insights on what was going on there on the 'Tales from the Crypt' podcast. After hearing this, I really wanted to pick his brain more and ask him about how socialism got started there, what life is like now, and how the Maduro government was (reportedly) using Bitcoin to circumvent sanctions. So, the first 50 mins or so is mainly speaking about Venezuela with Mauricio, and the second half Adam re-joins the conversation to get into all the details about why they started Ledn and how it all works.

I then somehow found out that he was only 20 years old (he probably referenced school or something), and I thought it would be interesting to pick his brain and get the ’20 year old’ perspective’ on bitcoin.

Dr. Shawn Baker is a bad motherfucker. Orthopedic surgeon, Air Force vet, World Record holder, Strongman Champion, and most recently, outspoken advocate of a diet based primarily on red meat, also known as ‘The Carnivore Diet’, which also happens to be the title of his upcoming book (November 2019). I’ve had a life-long interest in nutrition, fitness and health, and have been wanting to speak with Shawn since I saw his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Interestingly, there is also a large contingent of people in the Bitcoin community who follow and advocate for the Carnivore Diet, so I thought some of them may be interested in hearing from Shawn also.

Yan Pritzker represents another classic case of someone who has re-directed their entire career as a result of catching the bitcoin bug. Specifically, Yan left his position as co-founder and CTO of reverb.com, the popular open marketplace for music equipment, to devote himself to educating people about bitcoin. His first effort in this new career has culminated in ‘Inventing Bitcoin’, a book he authored to try and make understanding bitcoin more accessible to a mainstream audience.

Brandon Quittem is the author of a series of articles on Medium that has grabbed the attention and expanded the perspective of bitcoiners everywhere. In his 4-part series, Brandon explores the similarities shared between bitcoin and mycelium (the underground fungal network from which mushrooms emerge), referring to bitcoin as a ‘decentralized organism’. Analogies between bitcoin and other natural processes and phenomena have been made before, however none appear to be more apt than the one Brandon makes with mycelium. In my view, such analogies are important, and garner so much interest, because the degree to which an analogy is apt or appropriate, represents the degree of use we may derive from transferring known understandings or insights from it, to the the subject of the analogy, which we are all desperately trying to understand more. Anyways, this was a super fun chat for me. Hope you enjoy it!

Brandon Quittem is the author of a series of articles on Medium that has grabbed the attention and expanded the perspective of bitcoiners everywhere. In his 4-part series, Brandon explores the similarities shared between bitcoin and mycelium (the underground fungal network from which mushrooms emerge), referring to bitcoin as a ‘decentralized organism’. Analogies between bitcoin and other natural processes and phenomena have been made before, however none appear to be more apt than the one Brandon makes with mycelium. In my view, such analogies are important, and garner so much interest, because the degree to which an analogy is apt or appropriate, represents the degree of use we may derive from transferring known understandings or insights from it, to the the subject of the analogy, which we are all desperately trying to understand more. Anyways, this was a super fun chat for me. Hope you enjoy it!

Ragnar Lifthrasir is the Co-Founder and CEO of gunsnbitcoin.com, and an outspoken advocate of the responsible ownership of firearms. I’ve noticed that my perspective on guns has changed quite a lot over the past decade or so, and obviously it is a polarizing topic in our culture. I feel that almost all the dialogue on this issue is guided by emotion rather than logic, reason, data, or an understanding of historical context. As a result, I was eager to speak with Ragnar to understand his perspective further and have a calm and rational dialogue on this subject. Enjoy!

However, we all recognize the importance of expanding our view of this revolutionary technology, Guy makes this process super easy, by taking the best written content in the space and turning it into an audio format.

**Apologies for the audio on this one, new set-up didn't go so well, lol. It's worst at the beginning.** Gigi is another guest which I first came accross on Twitter. I thought he was putting out some well-articulated and insightful tweets, so I checked him out a little bit further. I then came across two great resources which he has put together: 21lessons.com and bitcoin-resources.com. In the first, Gigi grafts his own journey learning about bitcoin, onto the classic tale of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in an informative and entertaining way, available in both written and audio format. It's a very convenient way to get caught up on bitcoin. In the second, he provides a collection of great content for those who want to dive deeper, it too is a great resource full of useful information. No particular angle in this chat, just thought it might be fun to connect and geek-out about bitcoin for a while. We touched on some of the important narratives around bitcoin, and how more are emerging all of the time, drawing ever-more diverse people into the space. Of course, we got a little cosmic too, because, well, it's fun:) Enjoy!

I was wroking on my computer the other day and somehow started thinking about the similarities between the emergence of fire, and the emergence of bitcoin. I started writing and later that day published it to Medium. I then thought, why restrict it to only the written/readable realm?  So I recorded a reading of it, and published it here:) I enjoy experimenting with the opoorunities that the new media/publishing landscape enables. If you like it, or have any other ideas for me to try out, feel free to hit me up and let me know!  Enjoy!  - More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/30lRjUB INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY YOUTUBE: http://bit.ly/2TDeMy9 MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex

Matt is considered an OG in the Bitcoin space. His informed, no-nonsense style of sharing his learning process on Twitter and through his 'Rabbit Hole Recap' episodes on the Tales from the Crypt podcast, has been very well-received by the Bitcoin community and by many people who are trying to learn more about this revolutionary technology. It was awesome to have the chance to speak with someone who is so knowledgeable and who is contributing so much to the development of the space in general.

I thought it would be fun to publish some of the bitcoin interviews I conducted prior to launching the new podcast. This was my very first one, done with Bobby Lee in Shanghai in the fall of 2015. At the time Bobby was the CEO and Co-Founder of BTC China (now BTCC), a prominent bitcoin exchange based in China. This is a great episode for beginngers, as it really digs into the basics of what makes bitcoin special. However, it may also be cool for people at any stage in their bitcoin journey to listen in on what the conversation around bitcoin was like when it was at just $250. Enjoy!

In the bitcoin community, the subject of adoption is often discussed. How can we get more people to start learning about and interacting with bitcoin? Many people are hesitant to invest in such a volatile asset, and are intimidated by the learning curve required to get involved, and this has slowed adoption. What if you could tell people that all they had to do to start playing with (read: accumulating) bitcoin was to install a browser extension, and shop online as they already do? Nothing to read. No money to loose. Just spend regularly, and earn bitcoin back. Game = Changed. I'm extremely confident that lolli will be a huge catalyst for the more rapid adoption of bitcoin, and as such, I thought it would be awesome to speak with the CEO and Co-Founder, Alex Adelman. Alex is a very open and genuine guy, and clearly passionate about his company and contribution to the bitcoin ecosystem. It was my pleasure to get the chance to speak with him. Remember, the 'Rapid-Fire' episodes are where I ask guests a series of standard questions around bitcoin, money and some other fun stuff. The 'Further Discussion' episodes are a chance to have an open conversation with them and go a little deeper on some of these super interesting topics. Enjoy!

Before the rapid-fire portion of our conversation, I asked Raoul to elaborate on a recent thread on Twitter in which he made his case that the probability was high that the world was on the precipice of a substantial recession. We also had a more general discussion about Bitcoin, how he's approaching it, and his thoughts on its Future.

Raoul Pal is a former hedge fund manager, the publisher of the Global Macro Investor (a macro-economic and investment strategy research service), and the co-founder and CEO of Real Vision, which he describes as the 'Netflix of Finance' (Long-form interviews with the top investment and financial people in the world). Prior to this interview, I had recently seen a thread Raoul made on twitter, in which he shared several charts which depicted an alarming state of affairs in the global financial system. I wanted to get Raoul on so I could pick his brain a bit about what he was seeing, how to 'play' this market, and what Bitcoin's role will be in this rapidly changing environment.

Prior to the rapid-fire segment, we spoke for about 90 minutes on a variety of subjects, and shared our respective stories on how we originally came to Bitcoin. As it turns out, they were EXACTLY the same. (Hint: It involves DMT). He has an amazing twitter account.
