Bitcoin is a game of patience.  Daniel has been here a while and has shown more patience than most.


Founder of HardBlock.com.au – Australia's oldest Bitcoin only exchange – he's stayed true to his principles since finding Bitcoin in 2013.  There have been hurdles and challenges along the way.  Brendo and I sat down with him to hear his story and seek his advice.  It left us with plenty to consider.  We discuss:



What it’s like being in Bitcoin full-time for 9 years
Starting a Bitcoin business 4 months after discovering Bitcoin
Jumping in on the 2013 price spike, and being underwater for 2 years
Coming from a computer system engineering and economics background
His rapid fall down the rabbit hole
Never really having a “real job”
Seeing a Bitcoin therapist
Being part of a social revolution
Managing risk in a Bitcoin business
Being de-banked more than 20 times
Building a service you’re happy to recommend to family and friends
Encouraging customers to self-custody
Shitcoin casinos
Can you build a Bitcoin only business and why
Industry bodies
The ethics of advertising
How you reach decisions
Can a business outperform Bitcoin
Local not global
