Bitcoin Rapid-Fire
John Vallis
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/ Patrick Hotze: Seeing Everything with New Eyes
I'm constantly impressed with the intellectual and moral capacity of bitcoiners, and it's always such a pleasure to connect with them.
To foster more of these connections, I invite random bitcoiners on twitter to hit me up if they'd like to have a chat on the podcast.
Patrick DM'd me, so we went live for a discussion.
Enjoy!

Bison Ranching and Bitcoin w/ David Henry
I'm extremely interested in the convergence of bitcoin and regenerative farming / ranching.
Fixing our food, and the environment in which it is raised, is critical to becoming strong and independent individuals, as well as to the building of healthy, sovereign families.
As a result, when I see a bitcoiner building a business or career in this field, and imbuing it with 'bitcoin principles' (as well as leveraging bitcoin as a financial tool), I get super excited to talk to them.
I'm always amazed at the quality of people I end up becoming connected with in this pursuit - this was no exception.
Enjoy.

Bitcoin Citadels, Living in China, and Free Private Cities w/ Peter Young
Peter Young is a bitcoiner with a particular interest in Austrian Economics and working on new models for social organization, which he does primarily through his work with the 'Free Private Cities' project.
We are both interested in the 'citadel' idea, where people the world over have more choices available to them when deciding where to live.
As this is becoming an increasingly relevant issue in today's world, I thought it would be interesting to speak with Peter, get his opinion on things, and be brought up to date on the state of this emerging 'private city' phenomenon.
Enjoy!

What is Your 'Line in the Sand'? w/ George Gammon
George Gammon is the host/creator of two popular YouTube channels, in which he breaks down complex, and often misunderstood, economic and financial topics, and makes them easy for anyone to understand. George's work has made it easier for hundred's of thousands of people to better understand, or at the very least better investigate, what is going on in the world, and how to navigate it.
Recently, George has been focussing on the incredible economic damage, and the frightening disregard for individual liberty, done at the hands of governments in the wake of C19.
I thought it would be interesting to speak with him, to hear more about his perspective on what is happening, and how to position oneself optimally for what may be on the horizon.
Enjoy!

Maxime Bernier on The Election, Tyranny in Canada, and Bitcoin
After a strong election, in which the People's Party of Canada made massive strides in garnering more support than ever, I thought it was time for another chat with my friend Max, to get his take on the election, the frightening government tyranny occurring in Canada, and how bitcoin can help

Soulexporter and Soulexboy (son) on 'Meshtadels' and Living the Bitcoin Life
I first came across this father/son duo via an article in Citadel21, in which they laid out their vision for how the 'bitcoin citadel' model would unfold.
Finding ways to establish and maintain a life of freedom and prosperity is increasingly important today, as powerful forces conspire to forcefully impose their ideologies and worldview on everyone else. It is an extremely concerning trend that necessitates very serious consideration of how one is to navigate such a landscape successfully, and contribute to pushing back against it, by building a life that is able to defend against such an immoral and tyrannical encroachment.
As a result, I thought it would be interesting to have a chat with these two, and hear more about their thinking on the matter.
Enjoy!

From the 'Fiat-Self' to the 'Bitcoin-Self' w/ Tomer Strolight
Tomer has become a prolific author in the bitcoin space, having written several pieces about bitcoin, bitcoiners, and the many implications of this unprecedented form of money emerging in the world.
Having read many of articles, I thought we might have an interesting conversation around why bitcoin is having such a transformative effect on people.

Ryan Leachman of Jai Energy, on Bitcoin Mining in Oilfield
Bitcoin mining is beginning to represent a significant opportunity for 'legacy' oil and gas producers. It allows them to diversify into new and reliable revenue streams, reduce negative environmental side-effects of production, and (greatly) strengthen their balance sheets by retaining some or all of the bitcoin they mine.
Ryan is the co-founder of Jai Energy, a company that is helping oil and gas producers take advantage of this new opportunity.

Bitcoin Ranching Update
I'm sure many would agree that the world seems to be falling further into chaos with each passing day.
Bitcoiners have been discussing this problem for a long time, as well as the necessity to build a parallel system in response, for those who wish to opt-out of the old system, and opt-in to one more in-line with their principles and values (most of all, freedom).
While they've done that with money (bitcoin), and continue to build technologies that preserve privacy and circumvent censorship, the foundation of any life, culture and civilization, is food.
The guys on the show today recognize that, and have been working hard to build a resilient, accessible model, for people to establish greater food security, adopt a different lifestyle, and regenerate and become stewards of the environment in the process.
This is what has become known as 'Decentralized Grazzing' or 'Bitcoin Ranching'.
If this is your first exposure to this concept, I strongly suggest you go back and listen to my first episode with Joel (untapped growth), as well as the previous episode with this same crew.
Enjoy!
