Nozomi Hayase: Bitcoin is Love
In this cosmic episode Cedric sits down with Nozomi Hayase to discuss the art of being human, why Bitcoin is a humanistic alternative to technological salvation, how Bitcoin is a currency of loves that inspires action for peace and how the creation of Bitcoin restored the feminine principle of interconnectedness.
Nozomi Hayase was born and grew up in Japan. When she was young, C. S. Lewis's fantasy novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe captured her imagination. Inspired by this story of a moral battle, she aspired to become a writer to tackle the dilemma of good and evil. As a young adult, she moved to the United States. From civil rights to the peace and free speech movements, she saw the story she loved as a child unfold in ordinary people's struggles for freedom in America.
In 2010, WikiLeaks' publication of the Collateral Murder video was a turning point. She found the impulse for social justice carried onto a global stage, with the Internet becoming a battleground. She is a columnist and essayist whose writing is dedicated to liberate potent forces in history that allow us to participate in creating the future. She holds an MA in human development and a PhD in psychology, and has years of experience teaching adolescents.
Nozomi explores the psychological and philosophical implications of Bitcoin in her work.

Tuur Demeester: The Bitcoin Reformation
In this episode Cedric sits down with world-renown economist, investor and long-time bitcoin analyst Tuur Demeester to discuss making haste slowly, bear market psychology and The Bitcoin Reformation.
Tuur is on the board of the Texas Bitcoin Foundation and he’s an advisor to Blockstream.
At the end of the 16th century, a rag tag group of rebel intellectuals and entrepreneurs founded a country on some of the least desirable land in Europe—so often flooded that it needed hundreds of miles of moats - while fighting an eighty year long war against the largest empire in the world.
From this struggle and melting pot of ideas emerged the Dutch and British golden ages, innovative economic institutions that changed the world, as well as one of America’s most successful socio-economic experiments: New York City. Tuur Demeester makes the case that the 21st century emergence of bitcoin, encryption, the internet, and millennials are more than just trends; they herald a wave of change that exhibits similar dynamics as the 16-17th century revolution that took place in Europe.
