The Power of Choice

The will of e individual is incredibly important. We're made to exist within community and family. You can't truly become all you are without having those around you that are meant to integrate with you, where you conserve them with your gifts. Ritual was always the thing that when we identify, i like, foundational values, parochial or sacralized, cause we'll forget it up,. The chaos of life needs to be ritualized in a way that doesn't diminish the likelihood of this happening.

Episode notes

As most reading this will know, bitcoin is a genuinely unprecedented phenomenon, which appears to have far-reaching implications which we are only just beginning to appreciate.

Additionally, the more one learns about bitcoin, the more they discover there is to learn.

This podcast was primarily motivated by my interest to speak with others who've been gripped by this thing, and have a discussion with them, in the hope that doing so will contribute to the refinement of my understanding of it in some way.

However, given how mysterious bitcoin is, and how far-reaching it's relevance, understanding it requires investigating a plethora of related fields, concepts, themes, ideas and systems of knowledge.

Doing so properly requires the right conversational partner, and sufficient time.

I've recently been inspired by my friend Robert Breedlove, who is pioneering a new super-long-form format, on his podcast 'The What is Money Show' (which I highly recommend you check out). I believe his longest thus far is with Michael Saylor, and at the time of writing they've done 17 shows at over 1 hour each.

While this format may not be for everyone, the idea of getting together with some of the brightest, most genuine people I've come across, and feeling no time constraints whatsoever as we explore some of the most challenging or meaningful aspects of the bitcoin phenomenon (and life generally), was very appealing.

So, I figured I'd give it a try.

This first series is with Joel (aka. Untapped Growth). Joel has appeared on the podcast a few times, and is doing incredibly interesting and important work in regenerative ranching / citadel building. He's also an extremely thoughtful, wise and articulate individual, who I've had the pleasure of spending some great in-person time with, discussing many of the topics which we both find deeply meaningful.

As a result, I couldn't think of anyone better to try out this new format with. Pretty excited for it actually!

Enjoy!

Note: I'm somewhat mobile at the moment, and my recording conditions are not ideal. I also moved around a lot in this episode (felt like walking around), so the audio isn't great, but hopefully it's not too distracting to enjoy the conversation. I'm working on solutions for this.
