Ep. 70: Giacomo Zucco - Bitcoin, Institutional Adoption & Tether
19 maart 2025 · 50 min
My guest today is Giacomo Zucco, Director of Plan B Network and a well-known Bitcoin maximalist. He's also an advisor/investor for OCEAN, Relai, Ark Labs, Twentytwo, Geyser, Lightning Ventures, Breez and more. He spends his time supporting projects that he feels might be relevant for the future of Bitcoin, be it as an educator, consultant, entrepreneur, maximalist, or troll. In this episode, we dive deep into Bitcoin’s ideological and technological battles, from the early days of monetary activism to today’s regulatory and institutional challenges. Giacomo unpacks the role of stablecoins and specifically USDT, explaining why it has become both a “useful scam” and a financial bridge for millions. We also touch on CBDCs, the future of financial decentralization, transhumanism and why Bitcoiners should remain cautious as institutions get involved. Please note Giacomo’s views do not represent Tether’s official views in any way. Lees meer

Ep. 69: Hermann Vivier - Bitcoin Circular Economies in South Africa & Beyond
10 maart 2025 · 1 uur 21 min
My guest today is Hermann Vivier, co-founder of The Surfer Kids nonprofit and Bitcoin Ekasi project. Hermann's journey began in 2010 with the dual goals of creating a tourism business and empowering marginalized youth through surfing. Over time, Bitcoin became a critical tool for his initiatives, particularly when geopolitical challenges forced his business to adopt Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. In this episode, Hermann shares how The Surfer Kids nonprofit uses surfing as a vehicle to teach life skills and foster resilience among South African youth, while Bitcoin Ekasi builds a circular economy, paying salaries in Bitcoin and empowering underserved communities to adopt financial sovereignty. From leveraging Bitcoin to navigate failing state systems to inspiring others through grassroots education, Hermann’s work highlights the transformative potential of Bitcoin as both a medium of exchange and a tool for societal change. Tune in to learn about the unique challenges of operating in underbanked regions, the importance of using Bitcoin as money, and the power of building circular economies. Lees meer

Ep. 66: Eric Stacks - Digital Scarcity Creates Abundance
14 februari 2025 · 1 uur 22 min
My guest today is Eric Stacks, a former cannabis producer turned passionate Bitcoin advocate. From his early life shaped by familial challenges to his pivot into Bitcoin after witnessing the inefficiencies of the fiat system, Eric has developed a deep understanding of economic incentives, free markets, and the promise of Bitcoin. Eric shares how his journey began with mistrust of the pharmaceutical industry, leading him to cannabis production and eventually to Bitcoin as a solution to the systemic flaws he observed. His unique insights connect the dots between free-market deflation, economic Darwinism, and Bitcoin’s potential to incentivize ethical behavior while punishing dishonesty. He explains how Bitcoin redefines property rights, empowers individuals, and offers a path to a more sustainable global economy. We also discussed El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption, governments under a Bitcoin standard, and what a new monetary system would look like. Eric’s vision of an after-Bitcoin world is filled with hope, optimism, and practical strategies for how to navigate the changes ahead. This episode was filmed in El Salvador in Nov. 2024. Lees meer

Ep. 55: Dennis Porter - Bitcoin Policy & State Adoption
4 december 2024 · 18 min
My guest today is Dennis Porter, the co-founder and chairman of the Satoshi Action Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating policymakers about the benefits of Bitcoin and its potential to support broader public policy goals. Lees meer
In this episode, Dennis shares the progress the Satoshi Action Fund has made—from influencing the recent ban on CBDCs in Louisiana to advancing pro-Bitcoin legislation in over 20 U.S. states. We discuss the growing momentum for Bitcoin at the state level, including Pennsylvania’s passage of House Bill 2481, commonly referred to as the Bitcoin Rights Bill, which aims to protect the rights of residents regarding the self-custody of Bitcoin.
We also talk about how Dennis and his team at the Satoshi Action Fund influence lawmakers, using techniques like “microdosing” the orange pill, as well as borrowing ideas from Ronald Reagan on how to get laws passed. Dennis offers a unique perspective on the political and regulatory landscape shaping Bitcoin’s future.
Tune in for an insightful discussion on grassroots advocacy, state-level Bitcoin adoption, and its role in the future of the USA.

Ep. 42: Prof. Steven Koonin - Climate Realism: A Sane Approach (with Tom Nelson)
15 september 2024 · 52 min
My guest today is Prof. Steven Koonin, co-hosted with Tom Nelson - host of The Tom Nelson Podcast. Prof. Koonin is an American theoretical physicist and former director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress at NYU, as well as a professor in the Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at NYU School of Engineering. In the past he was the Chief Scientist of BP’s oil and gas division, served as Under Secretary for Science in the Department of Energy, in the Obama administration, and was the vice-president of Caltech, one of the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world. Lees meer
Steven is the author of the book “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters”, where he argues that while there are some basic facts about climate change that experts agree upon, the meaning of those facts is not so settled, and mainstream scientific studies do not support the notion that there is any kind of climate crisis at all.
This conversation discusses Climate Realism - the sane approach to the “Climate Change” alarmism, and the role of media in shaping public perception. We touched on topics such as the use of the term 'climate denier,' bias in the energy industry, the challenges faced by young scientists who question the climate narrative, the role of journalists in spreading misinformation, and the influence of organizations like the UN and Covering Climate Now.

His book series “Conversation with Angels” is a collection of messages on spiritual awakening received by Dror from the Angelic spiritual realm in preparation for this unprecedented time of global change. Dror has a Master’s degree from Harvard University in Human Development and Psychology. His worldwide travels combined with studies in mysticism, astrology, Reiki, crystals, and Shamanism have all contributed to his personal understanding of the messages about human consciousness.

We touch on the current time period as a unique opportunity for humanity's awakening and the battle between dark and light, while exploring the battle for human attention and consciousness. We discuss how different forces and areas of life manipulate and harvest our energy, and the importance of taking responsibility for our reality. We also touch on the dangers of consuming fear-based content and the power of choice in disconnecting from systems that do not serve us. We conclude with a reminder to find the gift in fear and to embrace the process of spiritual death and rebirth. We then move to part 2 which details the work Dror has bee…

Ep. 33: Erik Cason - The Dawn Of a New Free Humanity
3 juli 2024 · 1 uur 9 min
My guest today is Erik Cason, a Crypto-anarchist, cypherpunk, and iconoclast, who believes in sovereignty through cryptography. He’s a Bitcoin educator and the author of “Cryptosovereignty: The Encrypted Political Philosophy of Bitcoin”. Lees meer
In this episode we explore the themes of resistance, courage, and questioning, while highlighting the awakening of consciousness and the pursuit of truth. We delve into the concept of anarchism and its relationship to Bitcoin and cryptography, the importance of anonymity and sovereignty in the digital age and the potential for a new political paradigm. Erik touches on the limitations of academia and the need for open dialogue and exploration of forbidden thinkers and ideas. We explore the importance of critical thinking, the dangers of complacency, and the probable potential for a dystopian future. We observe the phenomena of waking up from societal conditioning and reclaiming sovereignty, and use examples such as Covid & Climate.
Erik believes that Bitcoin provides a pathway to freedom and empowerment, but warns against the financialization of Bitcoin. He encourages the development of circular economies and the utilization of Bitcoin for direct peer-to-peer transactions. Despite the challenges ahead, he’s hopeful for a present and future where individuals break free from systems of power and control.

ETFs play a crucial role in Bitcoin's reality by adding value, solving various problems.
The spread of ETFs globally will continue, with each country likely to have its own ETF.

My guest today is Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, a Bitcoin technology company focused on accelerating hyperbitcoinization. Samson is best known for his work with El Salvador’s Bitcoin initiatives, and his efforts in nation-state Bitcoin adoption around the world.

Ep. 26: CBDCs, Stablecoins & Zoom In on Israel [Guest Podcast]
21 april 2024 · 39 min
Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Jeffrey Peel for The New Era Podcast, about my latest article “The Digitalization of Money” and beyond. We discussed globalists, governments & central banks’ plan to digitize money, using CBDCs and stablecoins, and the role of Bitcoin in the changing financial landscape. I emphasized the importance of understanding the monetary system and how it is tied to various global events and agendas. The conversation zoomed in on Ripple’s role as a CBDC leader, on Israel’s progress with CBDCs, and more broadly Israel’s role as “The World’s Lab”. I ended with the need for individuals to take control of their own financial sovereignty. Lees meer

Ep. 23: Dr. Ahmad Malik - Being Comfortable in the Uncomfortable
20 maart 2024 · 1 uur 46 min
🎙️You're The Voice - Episode 23 - Dr. Ahmad Malik - Being Comfortable in the Uncomfortable Lees meer
My guest today is Dr. Ahmad Malik, an Orthopaedic Surgeon turned podcaster in light of censorship, silencing & sanctions he underwent in the past few years. This episode is a conversation between two friends about the meaning and essence of life, more than it is a ‘podcast episode’. And yet, in this emotional, yet fun episode, Ahmad shares his personal story and his awakening journey. We deeply explore the phenomena of cancel culture and silencing during Covid, especially amongst the medical profession. Ahmad bravely shares the consequences he faced for speaking out, including suspension and losing his job. We also touched on podcasting, building physical and mental resilience, bitcoin, mindset of change adaptation and uncertainty acceptance, finding strength in the face of fear and embracing failure. I think you’ll feel that theme of this episode is the power of love and connection, choosing humanity and unity over division. (This episode was recorded 4 months ago yet still very relevant).

🎙️You're The Voice - Ep. 22: Christian Keroles - Bitcoin is Changing the Game Lees meer
My guest today is Christian Keroles (aka CK), Director of Financial Freedom at the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), a passionate and dedicated advocate for Bitcoin and a speaker at industry events. In his role at HRF, he’s focusing on advancing open-source Bitcoin development and global Bitcoin adoption. Formerly as Chief Operating Officer at BTC Inc, CK was instrumental in shaping Bitcoin Magazine into the foremost publication it is today, and he has played a pivotal role in establishing one of the world's most influential conferences in the Bitcoin & fintech industries—the Bitcoin Conference.
In this episode CK shares his journey into the Bitcoin world and his views on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), while outlining the advantages of Bitcoin's open and neutral nature compared to CBDCs. He dives into Bitcoin’s competitive edges, adoption status, and the potential to revolutionize the way we measure and communicate value. CK encourages people, especially the younger generation, to stay hopeful and open-minded about the possibilities that Bitcoin offers for a better future.
(This episode was filmed at the Bitcoin Amsterdam Conference in Oct. 2023 and is still highly relevant).
-- MY TAKEAWAYS –
► Bitcoin's open and neutral nature + its head start, crash CBDCs.
► Bitcoin is still in very early stages, with a huge potential for growth.
► Bitcoin has the potential to revolutionize the way we measure and communicate value.
► Bitcoin offers hope for a better future, especially for the younger generation.
