I'm constantly impressed with the intellectual and moral capacity of bitcoiners, and it's always such a pleasure to connect with them. To foster more of these connections, I invite random bitcoiners on twitter to hit me up if they'd like to have a chat on the podcast. Patrick DM'd me, so we went live for a discussion.

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 always amazed...

Peter Young is a bitcoiner with a particular interest in Austrian Economics and working on new models for social organization, which he does primarily through his work with the 'Free Private Cities' project. We are both interested in the 'citadel' idea, where people the world over have more choices available to them when deciding where to live. As this is becoming an increasingly relevant issue in today's world, I thought it would be interesting to speak with Peter, get his opinion on things, an...

George Gammon is the host/creator of two popular YouTube channels, in which he breaks down complex, and often misunderstood, economic and financial topics, and makes them easy for anyone to understand.

Recently, George has been focussing on the incredible economic damage, and the frightening disregard for indiv...

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, and ...

Bitcoin mining is beginning to represent a significant opportunity for 'legacy' oil and gas producers. It allows them to diversify into new and reliable revenue streams, reduce negative environmental side-effects of production, and (greatly) strengthen their balance sheets by retaining some or all of the bitcoin they mine. Ryan is the co-founder of Jai Energy, a company that is helping oil and gas producers take advantage of this new opportunity. Enjoy! -- More from Ryan / Jai: TWITTER: https://...

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 censorship, the...

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 of mode...

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 disrupt...

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 these ext...

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.
