BECOMING A BITCOIN CORE DEVELOPER w/ Amiti Uttarwar
August 14, 2020 12:20 - 1 hour - 104 MBOne of the most common questions with Bitcoin is 'Ya but who controls the code?'.

July 24, 2020 22:21 - 1 hour - 155 MBIn this first episode of 'Bitcoiner Book Club', we discuss 'The Sovereign Individual', which analyzes the evolution of human civilization through the lens of how technological innovation impacts the 'logic of violence'. Written in 1997, and read in 2020, one is struck by the unbelievable predictive accuracy of the book, which among other things, serves to reinforce the validity of the underlying thesis. From my perspective, this book provides the best framing I've yet come across, for un...

BITCOIN SAVED MY LIFE w/ @My_Livin_Truth
July 12, 2020 16:50 - 2 hours - 165 MBThis was a fun one. One of the peculiarities of bitcoin is the number of anonymous accounts on twitter with whom people interact. It's nothing sinister, some people just take a different approach to privacy than others. 'Optimus Fields' (@My_Livin_Truth) is one of them, and also the co-host of a relatively new podcast "Bitcoin Kidnergarten". Anyways, I've had several interactions with Optimus on twitter, and more recently we were both involved in the 'Drinks in Quarantine' group chat hoste...

The halving cycle has been used before, most notably in the well-known 'Stock...

June 30, 2020 16:46 - 2 hours - 219 MBWe exist in a time of unprecendented government spending and expansion of central bank balance sheets. This is a nice way of saying 'money printing'. The myriad negative impacts of money printing are becoming increasingly understood by people around the world today, but assessing and measuring those effects remains a contentious issue shrowded in complexity. The CPI is the metric used by governments around the world to 'measure' inflation, and many believe it does not accurately reflect t...

CTRL PEW: The Latest on the 3D Printed Gun Revolution
June 09, 2020 03:59 - 1 hour - 114 MBCtrl Pew is an expert in the realm of 3D printed guns. I think at this point everyone has heard the term, but relatively few people are familiar with the state and development of the technology. I was recently surprised to learn how quickly it was evolving, so I thought it was finally time to speak with someone who could explain it all to me. 3D printed guns, like bitcoin, represent a tool for establishing greater self-sovereignty, and so I thought a deep dive into the subject would be app...

The Bitcoin Renaissance - Internal Change
May 29, 2020 17:32 - 1 hour - 145 MBThis episode is a recording of a panel I recently hosted at the 'Value of Bitcoin Digital' conference. In nearly all of my conversations, my guests explain how interacting with bitcoin has changed their behaviour patterns, often in fundamental ways. On the surface, this seems like a curious phenomenon, however once you begin to understand how the money we use affects our behaviour, it begins to become more clear why this occurs. However, this topic does not often get discussed at conference...
Erik Cason: Bitcoin is Messianic
May 22, 2020 18:35 - 1 hour - 160 MBI was recently listening to the Citizen Bitcoin podcast (one of my favourites) and Erik Cason was the guest.

Zuby: Bitcoin Just Makes Sense
May 06, 2020 22:50 - 47 minutes - 65.2 MBZuby is a rapper, author, coach and all-around free-thinking individual. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, nor change his mind if new information or perspectives dictate it’s rational to do so. These qualities always draw me to people.

April 24, 2020 18:09 - 1 hour - 97.2 MBThis is a re-publish of an interview I did on ‘The Canadian Investor’ podcast last week. I decided to share it here because I was curious to see if it would be a good resource for people who have not yet begun their journey down the proverbial bitcoin ‘rabbit-hole’.

However, they were receptive to what I was saying, and it seemed as though by the end of the discussion they were much more inter...
