Alex Gladstein is the Chief Strategy Officer at the Human Rights Foundation and The Oslo Freedom Forum. He has been working to bring awareness to, and rectify, human rights abuses around the world for his entire career.

I recently heard max on a few other podcasts and was simply blown away. To me, Max seems like someone who understands the impact and importance of Bitcoin to a high degree, and is engaging with it fully to construct a life of freedom and propserity. Max shares his knowledge via his YouTube videos and podcast on the World Crypto Network, as well as through his website (towardsliberty.com), the talks he gives, and via his contribution to some of the exciting and important open source projects curr...

We talk a lot about adoption in the bitcoin space, and the hurdles that may be keeping more people from starting to engage with it. I'm super bullish on the 'bitcoin back' rewards model because it allows people to start getting familiar with bitcoin without having to change their behavior OR take on any risk, it's basically free bitcoin, and that's a pretty damn powerful proposition that many seem to be interested in. For this reason, I thought it would be fun to chat with Will Reeves, CEO of on...

I recently came across Gene while watching his debate at The Soho Forum with Professor Richard Wolff (link below). Gene, a follower of the Austrian school of economics, represented the 'Capitalism' side, while Richard, a Marxian economist, took the 'Socialism' side. After watching the debate, it was clear in my mind that Gene won (the audience agreed), and so I thought it would be interesting to have him on for a chat. We touched on the debate itself, as well as socialism vs capitalism in genera...

Mauricio Di Bartolomeo and Adam Reeds are the co-founders of Ledn.io, a Canadian-based financial services firm that currently offers bitcoin savings accounts and bitcoin-backed loans. Mauricio is also originally from Venezuela, and I recently heard him share his insights on what was going on there on the 'Tales from the Crypt' podcast. After hearing this, I really wanted to pick his brain more and ask him about how socialism got started there, what life is like now, and how the Maduro government...

I then somehow found out that he was only 20 years old (he probably referenced school or something), and I thought it would be interesting to pick his brain and get the ’20 year old’ perspective’ on bitcoin. This was an awesome chat, and Nik really appears to be a young dude with his head screwed on right - the embodiment of 'Stay Humble, Stack Sats'. Enjoy! -- More from Nik: TWITTER: https://twitter...
