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.

February 01, 2022 18:43 - 3 hours - 169 MB

As I've been exploring in this podcast, as well as in my most recent written piece 'Money Messiah: God, Bitcoin, & The Evolution of Consciousness', my quest to understand bitcoin has been leading me to a re-evaluation of some of the most fundamental aspects or components which orient or determine how we experience and engage the world, including things like value, meaning, truth, freedom, love, and several others.

'Sacred Hunting' w/ Mansal Denton

January 25, 2022 01:47 - 1 hour - 79.7 MB

The quality and source of my food has been a top priority for me for many years, but I've always felt a sense of guilt and hypocrisy for the degree to which I was separated from the 'nitty-gritty' of the sacrifices involved in sourcing my food. I've longed for a closer and more considerate relationship to what is required to be provided with the nutrition required to sustain myself optimally. I feel we've haphazardly done away with recognizing the importance of intention and ritual in what h...

Bison Ranching and Bitcoin w/ David Henry

November 04, 2021 19:23 - 1 hour - 105 MB

I'm extremely interested in the convergence of bitcoin and regenerative farming / ranching.    Fixing our food, and the environment in which it is raised, is critical to becoming strong and independent individuals, as well as to the building of healthy, sovereign families.   As a result, when I see a bitcoiner building a business or career in this field, and imbuing it with 'bitcoin principles' (as well as leveraging bitcoin as a financial tool), I get super excited to talk to them.   I'm alw...

I first came across this father/son duo via an article in Citadel21, in which they laid out their vision for how the 'bitcoin citadel' model would unfold.  Finding ways to establish and maintain a life of freedom and prosperity is increasingly important today, as powerful forces conspire to forcefully impose their ideologies and worldview on everyone else. It is an extremely concerning trend that necessitates very serious consideration of how one is to navigate such a landscape successfully, ...

October 03, 2021 19:23 - 1 hour - 105 MB

Bitcoin mining is beginning to represent a significant opportunity for 'legacy' oil and gas producers.

Bitcoin Ranching Update

September 23, 2021 22:26 - 1 hour - 103 MB

I'm sure many would agree that the world seems to be falling further into chaos with each passing day.    Bitcoiners have been discussing this problem for a long time, as well as the necessity to build a parallel system in response, for those who wish to opt-out of the old system, and opt-in to one more in-line with their principles and values (most of all, freedom).   While they've done that with money (bitcoin), and continue to build technologies that preserve privacy and circumvent cens...

Lubomir Arsov is the creator of the film 'In Shadow'. The film deals with concepts and themes relating to the degradation of modern culture, and the psychological, emotional, ideological, economic, and spiritual antecedents which have contributed to it. It is a sharp and provocative film, which illustrates the ugliness of our current situation, but finishes with powerful imagery of hope and transcendence. Although there was no reference to bitcoin in the film, many of the same criticisms ...

Revolutionary Cycles Converging with Mark Moss

September 13, 2021 20:24 - 2 hours - 136 MB

For many, the events and changes which we observe throughout the course of our life can appear random, seemingly without predictable cause or pattern. As a result, we relegate ourselves to simply reacting to things as they occur, which often means we are far more subject to the imposition which those events cause, than we might have been, had we acted sooner. To some, it feels like we are currently entering into another historical period of great change. To others, it simply seems like a di...

Douglas Bakkum, CEO of ShiftCrypto, and Co-Creator of the BitBox02 (bitcoin-only) Hardware Wallet

August 18, 2021 00:02 - 1 hour - 58.7 MB

Buying bitcoin is not enough. It is essential to take self-custody of your bitcoin, to benefit from the full self-sovereignty over your money that bitcoin permits.   Hardware wallets have become the preferred way to custody bitcoin, which makes it important to understand how they are developed and built.   Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to have the co-creator of popular hardware wallet, the BitBox02 (bitcoin-only edition), on the show, to discuss all the details that go in to...

Alex Epstein is philosopher, and the author of 'The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels'.   I've appreciated Alex's work in helping to bring balance to the discourse around climate change, and in particular the role played by fossil fuels in that dynamic.   The narrative around fossil fuels and climate change has become so ingrained in our culture, that if you question it, you are often ridiculed, derided, or labeled a 'denier'.  I appreciate that Alex is willing to take the criticism so that we all...

May 25, 2021 12:48 - 1 hour - 99.7 MB

Francis Pouliot is the founder and CEO of Bull Bitcoin, one of the top bitcoin exchanges in Canada.   He left Canada in July 2020, after being highly critical of the governments actions in response to Covid-19.  He is now living in Costa Rica, pursuing the life of a 'Sovereign Individual'.   He said he had some things to get off his chest, so we set up a chat.   Enjoy!    --    More from Francis:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/francispouliot_  More from me:   TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7P...
