Adam Skelly of Adamson BBQ - Challenging the Government 'Lockdowns' in Canada

Adam Skelly is the founder and operator of Adamson BBQ, a texas-style BBQ in Ontario Canada.   In November of 2020, Adam defied the Ontario lockdown orders to continue operating his restaurants, and to engage in civil disobedience, protesting the unprecedented lockdown orders that have done tremendous harm to small businesses, their owners and staff, and which he felt were an infringement on his (and everyone else's) rights.   Adam was arrested, charged, and billed $187,000 by the City of Toronto, for the expense they incurred by sending in the police presence to arrest him and control the situation.   I find Adam's actions to be incredibly courageous, and I think he's right to both question the legal right of governments to impose on freedoms in this way, and ask serious questions about the justifications for doing so.   Adam is doing what he believes is right, and fighting to have the merits of the governments actions be scrutinized, so that truth can come to light, and justice can be upheld.   These are admirable motivations in my book, so I thought it would be interesting to have him on for a chat about his journey and the details surrounding his situation.   Enjoy!   --   More from Adam:  INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/adamsonbarbecue/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/adamsonbarbecue  More from me:        TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA         YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg         MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex         INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY             The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Bitcoiner Book Club Explores Jordan Peterson's 'Maps of Meaning'

Maps of Meaning is Jordan Peterson's first book, written in the late 90's, and largely unknown to much of his following.  Nevertheless, it is an extremely profound book, dealing with the most fundamental of questions regarding the structure of reality, and how humans have attempted to comprehend it, and figure out how best to navigate it.   The book also had a profound impression on some other bitcoiners, so we decided to get together and explore it together.   It's a pretty ambititous endeavour to try to tackle this thing, and this is by no means meant to be an exhaustive analysis. I highly recommend you read the book.   Enjoy!   --   TWITTER:  Richard: https://twitter.com/rjames_BTC Robert: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22 Gigi: https://twitter.com/dergigi  Link to Book: https://www.amazon.com/Jordan-B-Peterson-Architecture-Softcover/dp/B084CTSZCH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=maps+of+meaning&qid=1614369592&sr=8-1 More from me:        TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA         YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg         MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex         INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY             The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Greg Foss on Canada's Bitcoin ETF, Valuing Bitcoin, and Where to Look for the Looming Global Debt Crises

Gregg Foss has 32 years experience in high-yield credit markets and has been heavily involved in the Canadian bitcoin scene since 2016.   In this show we discuss what the credit default swap market is saying about creditworthiness and default risk for governments around the world today, and how to interpret this market to come to a unique valuation for bitcoin.   We then move on to the recent launch of the bitcoin ETF in Canada, where the massive demand is coming from, what it means for the 'closed-end' funds, and what opportunities the market is throwing up as a result.   Finally, we discuss his involvement in innovative power generation and distribution solutions through Validus Power, with fascinating implications for the bitcoin mining industry.    Enjoy!    --    More from Greg:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FossGregfoss   WEBSITE: https://www.validuspower.com/    More from me:         TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA          YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg          MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex          INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY              The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Vijay Boyapati and Hugh Hendry Debate Bitcoin vs Fiat Money

Hugh Hendry is a former hedge fund manager with many outspoken and unique views about how policy makers should act in today's unique marco-economic landscape. He does not see bitcoin as a viable solution to the financial and social issues facing the world.   Vijay Boyapati is the author of the popular article 'The Bullish Case for Bitcoin', and believes bitcoin will serve as the foundation for a more fair monetary system as we move into the future.   This conversation came about when Hugh took issue with a recent Financial Times article titled 'Bitcoin's Rise Reflects America's Decline', and Vijay chimed in offering to have a discussion about Hugh's critique of the article, and bitcoin more generally.   Enjoy!   --   Article By Rana Foroohar: https://www.ft.com/content/16a37710-cbff-41b1-af96-7dc8b2de0c43  More from Hugh:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/hendry_hugh INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficial/ WEBSITE: https://hughhendry.com/  More from Vijay:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/real_vijay ARTICLE (Bullish Case for Bitcoin): https://vijayboyapati.medium.com/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoin-6ecc8bdecc1  More from me:        TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA         YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg         MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex         INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY             The BitBox02 Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Godfrey Bloom on Freedom, Financial Collapse, Gold and Bitcoin

Godfrey Bloom is a libertarian author with six books published on both military history & Austrian School Economics.   He worked in the City of London as an acclaimed asset manager, and subsequently represented Yorkshire & Lincolnshire in the European Parliament & was a staunch campaigner for Brexit for twenty five years.   Godfrey has been an outspoken critic of central banking and fiat currency, as well as the political systems which have emerged on top of those institutions.   A long-time gold bug, Godfrey has recently started to learn about and invest in bitcoin, so I thought it would be fun to get together for a chat about his journey and current thinking on the subject.    Enjoy!    --    More from Godfrey:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/goddersbloom  WEBSITE: https://godfreybloom.uk/  YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBdRARuXlJlLH9ZC4z51LhQ   More from me:       TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA        YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg        MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex        INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY           The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Plan B & The Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Model

Plan B is the name of the pseudonymous creator of the bitcoin stock to flow model, which attempts to model bitcoin's price trajectory, based on it's disinflationary supply schedule (increasing stock to flow multiple).   The model has become a hotly debated topic in the bitcoin community, with both staunch supporters and detractors.   I invited Plan B on to discuss the model, and what his life has been like since discovering and contributing to bitcoin in the manner which he has.    Enjoy!    --    More from Plan B:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD  WEBSITE: https://100trillionusd.github.io/   More from me:   TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA    YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg    MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex    INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY     The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Maxime Bernier is back to talk Freedom and Bitcoin

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     The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.
