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.

Bridging Worlds and Making 'In-Game' Economies 'Real' by Integrating Bitcoin w/ Sovtoshi
I recently posted a Calendly link to my twitter account, telling people that I've made a few time slots available for people who wish to come on the podcast to book themselves in.
Sovtoshi was the first to take me up on this, and came on to discuss his bitcoin journey, and the work he is doing to get the ball rolling in integrating satoshi's into gaming environments (in his hanse, Minecraft).
Enjoy!

The Perils of a Narrow, Unexamined Perspective, and the Influence of Fiat w/ Tyler Lindsay
Tyler responded to one of my recent tweets inviting people to join me on the podcast for a discussion. He DM'd me saying that he had an interesting perspective on the 'two monetary bubbles' in Aspen, Colorado, and would also like to speak about proof of work, alternative education and Hunter S Thompson, his unique travel experiences and more.
Sounded like great fodder for a good conversation to me.
Enjoy!

I met Ethan at the 'What is Money' live event with Robert Breedlove and Jordan Peterson around the Bitcoin 2022 conference.
We had a nice but brief conversation, so I was happy when he hit me up recently to continue it, and explore some of the themes he's been thinking a lot about lately.
Enjoy!

The Bitcoin Rapping Revolutionary - The Extraordinary @tip_nz
Tip, in my opinion, is the creator of some of the most entertaining and educational videos in the bitcoin space.
She combines informative and clever lyrics, with captivating imagery, and engaging music, to create something that anyone can enjoy and learn from.
After her release of 'The Great Resistance', an incredibly inspiring longer-form piece with AI-generated art and voiceovers, I figured it was about time I invited her on the show to have a discussion about her work.
Enjoy!
