Bitcoin Rapid-Fire
Bitcoin is the future of money, that is my firm belief. I use this show to learn more about this phenomenon, and its various implications, from some of the brightest minds in the space, and beyond. I'm not trying to educate or inform anyone, I'm sharing my own journey of attempting to understand bitcoin, and delving in to some of the less obvious, but incredibly profound, aspects of its emergence in the global culture.

Plebcast w/ Stephan Besel: A Nurse on the Covid Frontlines Gets Orange-Pilled
Stephan is a bitcoiner who reached out to me on twitter to see if I'd be up for having a chat sometime. He mentioned that his bitcoin orange-pilling during Covid, as well as what he had witnessed on the hospital frontlines, had quite radically changed his view of the medical industry, and thought it would make for an interesting discussion.
I agreed, so we recorded a conversation, and later decided to publish it publicly.
Enjoy!

Rowais reached out to me last fall to share are article he had written, entitled 'Bitcoin is Biblical', exploring some parallels he had been exploring between bitcoin and Christianity.
I finally got around to reading it this February, and I thought it was very interesting, so I invited Rowais on to have a discussion about it

AJ Scalia & Drew Armstrong on our Energy Future, Finding Purpose, and Leading Cathedra (publicly-listed bitcoin miner)
AJ Scalia and Drew Armstrong are, respectively, the CEO and President of Cathedra Bitcoin, a publicly-listed (Canada) bitcoin mining company.
I met Aj and Drew at the beefsteak prior to the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami. We were having an interesting conversation around bitcoin mining and what it’s growing significance meant for the energy industry, and how we understand and interact with energy generally as a species / civilization.
I mentioned at the time that it would be great to record something, and so about 9 months later, we finally put it together.
Enjoy!

Mandates & Emergenices: How We Got Here, and How We Move Forward w/ Dr. Julie Ponesse
Dr. Julie Ponesse is a former university professor, and holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Western Ontario, with areas of specialization in ethics and ancient philosophy.
In September 2021 she recorded a video, expressing her disagreement and opposition to the vaccine mandates which her university was instituting.
Her video was a level-headed, articulate, and informed critique of the validity of vaccine mandates, and as a result, went ‘viral’ online.
As a result of this, she has become a respected voice among those voicing their concerns and opposition to vaccine mandates and pandemic restrictions generally.
She recently published a book, entitled ‘My Choice: The Ethical Case Against Covid-19 Mandates’.
I’ve very much enjoyed listening to her perspective on this issue, and therefore invited her on for a discussion about it all.
Enjoy!

Dialogos w/ John Vervaeke - Part 1: What is 'The Meaning Crisis'?
John Vervaeke is a “Psychology and Cognitive Science Professor, integrating science and spirituality to solve the ‘Meaning Crisis’.
I was introduced to his work through his 50-part series ‘Awakening from the Meaning Crisis’, in which John leverages his staggering familiarity and understanding of an enormous amount of the worlds philosophical, psychological, spiritual / religious, and historical literature, combined with his own insights and experiences, to put forward a contribution to the apparent ‘meaning crisis’ which much of the global culture faces today.
I not only share John’s conviction that we are currently confronting such a circumstance, but I’ve also been exploring and writing about the role which bitcoin may play in the emergence of a ‘solution’ to that ‘problem’.
In this first discussion, we don’t discuss bitcoin at all, but rather focus on identifying what the ‘meaning crisis’ is, and how we might have found ourself in this situation.
It’s my hope that this will be the first of several discussions with John, as it seems to me that he has much useful wisdom to share in my journey of attempting to discover and understand ‘deeper meaning’, and what role, if any, bitcoin is to play in it.
Enjoy!

Bitcoin & the Freedom Convoy w/ NobodyCaribou
Nobody Caribou is a bitcoiner who has been on the ground in Ottawa, sharing the TRUTH of what is going on there to the world, via twitter. He has also been helping out in different ways, and discussing the merits of bitcoin with a number of the truckers, which has become especially relevant since GoFundMe refused to release the $9 million that had been raised for their cause. He has also, with other well-known Canadian bitcoiners, set up a bitcoin-based donation page (link below), where people from anywhere in the world can contribute bitcoin donations WHICH CANNOT BE STOPPED.
I have tremendous gratitude for what he and the truckers are doing for the cause of freedom, so I thought it would be interesting to have him on for a chat, and to further amplify the true spirit behind this peaceful movement.
Enjoy!

Bitcoin and Spirituality w/ Bang Bitcoin & Pierre Rochard
As I've been exploring in this podcast, as well as in my most recent written piece 'Money Messiah: God, Bitcoin, & The Evolution of Consciousness', my quest to understand bitcoin has been leading me to a re-evaluation of some of the most fundamental aspects or components which orient or determine how we experience and engage the world, including things like value, meaning, truth, freedom, love, and several others. These concepts, of course, have also historically been the purview of the 'religious' or 'spiritual' pursuits, and so it seems necessary to delve into that domain, if we wish to see what wisdom or insights might emerge from it, to help us better contextualize the meaning of bitcoin (or both).
This particular conversation arose from an exchange on twitter, where it was made clear that this subject was something which we all were interested in exploring further. So, we thought it would be fun and fruitful to get together discuss it.
Enjoy!
