Joe Martin is a musician and a pioneer in the emerging use of the so-called 'value 4 value' model for digital product publishing (and likely more in the future). Joe is about to launch his first full album 'Empty passenger Seat' on May 1st, and has already launched a couple songs from it on Wavelike, a value 4 value platform that makes it easy for listeners to seamlessly send value back to creators. I'm very interested in the emerging possibilities of the value 4 value model, particularly those recently enabled by bitcoin / the lightning network, so I thought it would be a great time to speak with one of it's earliest pioneers in the music industry.

Mercedes Juárez is a 70+ year old Mexico native, who was introduced to me by a mutual friend. An advocate for Marxism earlier in life, she has more recently found bitcoin, gone down the rabbit hole, and is now pursuing initiatives to help promote and get the benefits of bitcoin to more people, particularly women in less-privileged circumstances in Mexico. I thought Mercedes' situation was interesting, so we set up a chat to dig into her story.

This is another instalment in the 'Bitcoiner Book Club' series. When either myself, or others read a book that they thought was interesting, relevant to bitcoin, and worthy of further discussion, we put together one of these chats. The guests reviewing the books are always different, and are usually included because they asked to be involved (I've found that 4 is a good number). The crew today is Daniel Prince (Host of the OnceBitten Podcast), Jace Hartzler (Bitcoiner), and Ray Youssef (Founder and CEO of Paxful). Unsurprisingly, this discussion became more about the implications of the scenario which the book describes, and related subjects, more that a methodical review of the contents of the book itself. Of course, with a subject this large and influential, there are a million rabbit holes we could have gone down, which means we were inevitably unable to explore many of them. Hopefully what we did end up discussing was useful, interesting, or valuable nevertheless.

Guy Swann is a friend, bitcoiner, and creator and host of 'Bitcoin Audible', a podcast where he reads the top articles in the bitcoin space, and provides extensive and valuable commentary on them.   Last week Guy and I recorded a podcast in which we discussed the recent 'banking crisis', and the individual psychological dynamics that are involved (both cause and effect) in a financial system like the one we currently have. We ran out of time to cover the other topic which I was hoping to discuss with Guy, which was the upgrade process to bitcoin. In my opinion, there is insufficient discussion of the logic or rationale of potential upgrades to bitcoin, no clear framework on how one might balance known and unknown risks and rewards, in the process of forming their opinion on, ultimately, how they 'define' bitcoin for themselves - what they believe it should and could 'be'. So, we spent the bulk of this episode covering that topic.

Guy Swann is a friend, bitcoiner, and creator and host of 'Bitcoin Audible', a podcast where he reads the top articles in the bitcoin space, and provides extensive and valuable commentary on them.   I've known Guy since I've been in the bitcoin space, but we hadn't spoken in a while, so we booked a podcast to have a catch up and discuss some things happening in bitcoin that I was hoping to get his opinion on.   As it turns out, the day of our recording was Monday the 13th of 2023, when the US Treasury / Government / Federal Reserve, took actions to 'not bail out' Silicon Valley Bank, and take possession and shutter Silvergate and Signature bank (which serviced the bitcoin and 'crypto' industry).   As a result, we used our time to discuss this topic, how we think it was handled, the systemic dynamics that lead to it occurring in the first place, and our many critiques of them, and finally, why 'bitcoin fixes this' :)   Enjoy!   --   More from Guy:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/TheGuySwann WEBSITE: guyswann.com More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).

It's a very common phenomenon that when people get orange-pilled, and begin heading down the 'bitcoin rabbit-hole', they have an increasing desire to shift their job / career to work in bitcoin.   Additionally, while the bitcoin-only industry is still fairly small, if we are right about it's prospects, there will be a ton of new companies popping up over the coming years (and a ton of growth in existing ones), seeking to fill a huge number of positions with value-aligned hires.  This is where Bitcoin Talent Co comes in. Their goal is to match capable, mission-driven bitcoiners, with companies and positions that can benefit from their talents, and provide them with a means to fulfill their desire to stack sats and contribute to bitcoin.   Andy and Eric are 2 of the 3 co-founders of this new venture, and asked if I'd be open to having them on for a chat. As I want to see as many good bitcoiners working on/in bitcoin as possible, I though it was a great idea.   Enjoy!   -- More from Andy and Eric:  TWITTER (ANDY): https://twitter.com/theandytee TWITTER (ERIC): https://twitter.com/epodrulz WEBSITE: https://www.bitcointalent.co More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).

Aleks Svetski is an entrepreneur, friend, prolific writer in the bitcoin space, and author of the recently released book 'The UnCommunist Manifesto', a logical, and piercing takedown of 'Communist' thinking, and a simple explanation of the rationale (and virtues) of individual freedom and voluntary exchange.   It really is a great book to clarify ones own thinking, and counter the abundance of misinformed and logically inconsistent rhetoric on the subject which abounds in the discourse today.   In this discussion, Aleks and I discuss the motivations and process behind writing and publishing his first book (with co-author Mark Moss), the shift in mindset he experienced in 2022, and the resulting change in focus and how he 'engages' (online), and his recent article on why he believes 'hyperbitcoinization' will likely take significantly longer than many proponents are expecting.   Enjoy!   --   More from Aleks:  TWITTER: @SvetskiWrites BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/UnCommunist-Manifesto-Message-Responsibility-Liberty/dp/B0B9VH8R4T/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34AXXP049K4AG&keywords=the+uncommunist+manifesto&qid=1677964326&sprefix=the+uncommunis%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-1  THE BITCOIN TIMES: https://bitcointimes.io  ARTICLES: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/aleksandarsvetski More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).

Jacob Wolki is an Australian entrepreneur and regenerative farmer. He started out in his family's record store, then moved to selling bicycles, and in 2019, went down the regenerative farming rabbit-hole, which he's now built into a rapidly growing full-time business. I first came across his work when he released a video which went viral, in which he showed how his un-staffed retail location worked. Many bitcoiners, including myself, are increasingly interested in the subject of regenerative farming/ranching, so I was excited to speak with someone who entered the space with no formal background, and has been successful in turning it into a career that is enjoyable, fulfilling, and lucrative. Jake appears to be an honest, hard-working, principled, and thoughtful guy, and it was a pleasure to get to get to know him and learn from him in this discussion.

I often ask the twitterverse if there are any bitcoiners out there who would like to jump on the podcast for a discussion about whatever they're into (or want to discuss).   This man (who wishes to remain anonymous) hit me up, listing his 'Christian anarchy', military history, large family, homeschooling of his children, and past experience as a pastor, as potentially interesting things to discuss, so we set up a chat.   Enjoy!   Note: This conversation was recorded in October 2022 -- More from Al: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/RandomGuyCrypto More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).
