EP61 Back Again with @beefbackbetter

It’s great having new guests on to tell us how they found their way to Bitcoin or explaining what they are doing in the Bitcoin ecosystem, but it’s also interesting to follow a story and see the progress over time.

Owen is an example of the latter.  We first met at the OG Bitcoin Bush Bash in Murrurundi in 2020, then we travelled to his farm in northern NSW to check out his beef operation (EP22).  We spoke again as he went over to El Salvador on a scouting mission to see if it really was somewhere he thought he could live (EP43) and now we catch up with him as he’s finding his feet in San Salvador.  He’s not a talker...he’s a doer!  He’s also a good talker...we discuss:

Being top of the 2 Bit league
Making the decision to sell the farm and leave Australia
Living next door to the President’s mum
Making friends in San Salvador
The general cost of living (rent, fuel, food, quality beef, motorcycles)
Travel restrictions
Where’s Jordy
Nomad or Expat
Optimising tax status
The perfect San Salvador climate
Paying in Bitcoin/Lightning
Problems with payments generally
Where is the most chilled out Bitcoin conference
Using the local health system
Gringos having an edge
No scamming or woke culture, completely safe and much less regulation
Business ideas
