EP10: Hope – Straight Outta Campton with @camilacampton

Camila Campton, the Swan Force lead at Swan Bitcoin, joins us to discuss what makes all of us willing to talk about Bitcoin 24/7.

She sees herself as an educator and describes how Bitcoin makes you more selfless and loves building a toolbox of resourc...

EP9: How to Escape Inflation in Turkey (and everywhere else) with @efecini

The Turkish Lira is in freefall and the central bank just cut interest rates by 2 percentage points, making things significantly worse for Turkish people. This week we are joined by Efe - twitter.com/efecini - a Turkish Bitcoin maximalist, who tells us what it's really like. Efe was the translator of the Bitcoin Whitepaper into Turkish on bitcoin.org. He's also just about to start a Bitcoin podcast and newsletter that translates useful Bitcoin resources into Turkish, for Turkish people. Check ou...

EP8: Stay Humble Stack Yachts - Why Fat Lazy Brendo Won't Clean His Pool - Hats & Brendo

In this episode we talk Bitcoin freestyle. No plan, just see where it takes us. We end up talking about: The housing ‘boom’. Why you think you’re getting rich but aren’t. Hats love for Jeff Booth, and why the ‘growth forever’ system is unsustainable. Skirting around the ‘C’ word. Inflation and why the CPI metric looks bad but doesn’t even tell the whole bad story. Depression, and how Bitcoin can help you regain hope. Also, being “overwhelmed” by all the people you can’t save. Domains, and how we...

EP7: Bitcoin Glossary with @_k3tan (frequently used terms explained in plain English)

Do you keep hearing about Bitcoin, but have no idea what anyone is talking about? Do bitcoiners use terms that you don’t understand what they mean? Do you feel like you’re asking a ‘stupid question’, so rather than look ‘stupid’ you just don’t ask? If any of that sounds familiar, this is the pod for you. We sit down with @_k3tan from @ministryofnodes to break down the most common terms you’ll hear and explain them in plain English. If you already know 90%, but want a refresher on the remaining 1...

EP6: Do You Want Free Bitcoin? - Hats & Brendo

Of course you do! Does that title seem a bit spammy? It does, yes. But, it is possible, and this pod will tell you how. Many people still think you must buy a whole Bitcoin, and at around AUD65k a coin you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s out of reach for the everyday person. However, this is not true. In the same way as $1 is made up of 100 cents, 1 Bitcoin is made up of 100,000,000 sats (short for Satoshis). So, each Satoshi only costs around $0.0006. Everyone can afford that! @BitcoinBren...

EP4: DCA your Self-Managed Super Fund with @AndyBTCAdviser

‘Andy B Adviser’ is from England and now lives in Australia. He started looking around for answers about money and savings around the time of the COVID crash, and has in a short time, become a Bitcoin maxi and Self-Managed Super Fund DCAer. In this episode we dig into his fall down the rabbit hole, to help us understand why he considers Bitcoin his long-term savings solution to ensure his own financial security and that of his family. He tells us how he has changed from a more “hand-to-mouth" ex...

EP3: Central Banks, Fiat Mining, Coconut Shells and Sex Dungeons - Hats & Brendo

Welcome back and thanks for sticking with us. In this episode Hats gives us an idiot’s guide to Central Banking and why it is their policies and actions that are making you, and almost everyone else, poorer. Using a simple analogy (and if Hats can come up with it, it must be) we guarantee you will understand the problem and why Bitcoin is the solution. We also discuss the idea of Fiat Mining, what it is, and why it may be the best thing you can do right now. Brendo gives us an exclusive on his k...

EP2: Daniel Prince: The (Not So) Toxic Bitcoin Maxi

I (Hats) had a DM exchange with Daniel a bit over a year ago, but other than that, we didn’t know each other. So, when we released our first episode (and had a few podcasting issues) I decided to reach out again to ask for some advice. Daniel’s podcast Once Bitten, is one of our go-to pods for all things Bitcoin, and in the last couple of years he’s really established himself as not only a great host and interviewer, but as a source of reliable content. There was no need for him to help us, but ...

EP1: Back Story - Hats & Brendo

A first attempt at a Bitcoin podcast (or any podcast) by @StackingHats and @BitcoinBrendo . The purpose of the pod is to introduce Bitcoin to listeners in a way that is not filled with jargon and is approachable for the everyday person. Along the way, we hope to bring on guests that will either teach us something about Bitcoin, or just tell us the story of how and why they got involved. If that sounds appealing to you, and you'd like to have your voice heard, please make contact on Twitter via t...
