2-Bit Idiots

Thanks Idiots It's been...emotional. Onwards. #Bitcoin

This is the big one!   Today, we put some Bitcoin (1,432,047 Satoshis to be precise) in the hands of kids. It's theirs, they own it, and we don't have any say in how they save it or spend it.   I'll not spoil the results here, but I do have some thankyous to give.    The Artists and their Parents  Bowdog Jr; Charlotte; Jasper; Evie; Harriet; Niels; Regan; India; Luna; Archer; Sabine; Frankie; Sena; Bellemy; Claudia; Samuel; and, Ava.    The Judges  Our kids    Those who kindly donated.   With a special mention to:  Scott, Mallory and Charlotte from www.shamory.com  HaggisHodl and AnAverageSalmon whose generosity kicked this off    The Inspiration  Pixel and Paul    To see the winning entries, go to:  https://bitcoin-first.com/kids-art-competition/  

We've always wanted to do an “Orange Pill Live” episode, to test our abilities in answering the questions of a precoiner and to see if (during the course of a podcast) we could convince someone to buy themselves their first Bitcoin.  That was the intention of this episode, but in the time it's taken us to schedule the pod with Bernie, he'd already got himself off zero!  However, Bernie is Brendo's mate, so we thought we'd go ahead with the call and press record anyway, and only publish it if we thought it might help someone out there.  It turns out, Bernie has gone from zero to well down the road of hero in 2 short months, but he gave us a great perspective on the issues and questions a new Bitcoiner has right now.    We discuss:  Bulked-up Brendo  “Crypto” misconceptions  What made Bernie take the first step into Bitcoin  The challenge of buying a home and deposit requirements  University (HECS) debt indexation  Lack of government support, lies about inflation, stimulus cheques, UBI and something having changed  Trying to outrun inflation  Savings accounts, stocks, risk taking and having a go  What Bernie did practically when he decided to buy some Bitcoin  Hot and Cold wallets  Understanding a non-physical asset  Personal responsibility, 2FA and key storage  Steel Seedplates  Speaking in Bitcoin or Sats  The gradually then suddenly event horizon  Volatility, risk taking and bag pumping  Rewards programmes  Why does Bitcoin crash and is it a buying opportunity  Murrurundi golf    Pod Shout-outs  HardBlock  https://www.hardblock.com.au/join/hats     The Bitcoin Adviser (Peter Dunworth)  *** Get your first 3 months free with The Bitcoin Adviser when you use referral code "SECURE" at www.thebitcoinadviser.com/contact    Bitcoin Bush Bash  http://bitcoinbushbash.info/       Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com

This is long one.  We discuss:    Exponential rise of Bitcoin and fall of Fiat  Positioning and wealth preservation  The distinction between risk and volatility  Resistance to change  The opportunity of buying in a SMSF  The importance of mobile  Kids with Bitcoin wallets  Never needing a bank account  Blackrock, ETF's and what does Larry Fink  Liquidity drain  Client's will demand Bitcoin exposure from their financial adviser  Banking restrictions  Why does the bull run ever stop and the point of no return  Taking profit, a risk on behaviour  What happens when AI and the machines start draining liquidity  Why ransomware only ever wants Bitcoin  Uber  ELI5 and ELI2  The Bitcoin Adviser  Starved of original thought  Unit bias  Moving towards self-actualisation  Lambos and Yachts  Holy Moly and It's a Knockout  An App Store for Keys    Pod Shout-outs  https://twitter.com/MichaelDunwort1   https://twitter.com/wavlake   https://twitter.com/w_s_bitcoin   https://twitter.com/luke_broyles   https://twitter.com/BTCSchellingPt   https://twitter.com/Meta_Trav   https://twitter.com/AndyBTCAdviser   https://twitter.com/JakeBTCAdviser   https://twitter.com/Rob1Ham       *** Get your first 3 months free with The Bitcoin Adviser when you use referral code "SECURE" at www.thebitcoinadviser.com/contact     Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com

Jeremy Majid is the CEO of the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body www.bitcoinindustrybody.org.au whose mission statement is:  “To serve as a voice for the Australian Bitcoin Industry. We welcome open and constructive dialogue with Government and Media and are available to assist with any and all Bitcoin related matters.”  There will be sceptics amongst you (I'm one of them), but not about the intentions of ABIB, more the willingness of government to engage in an honest and sincere dialogue. In this one we discuss the problem and how ABIB can be part of the solution.

www.breez.technology has been around for a while, and to be honest I didn't know much about it, so when Ivan reached out to have a chat it seemed like as good a time as any to start learning.  Located in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ivan (@Nackoo2000) is the Chief of Staff (Chief of Stuff) and first non-developer to work for Breez. He's my favourite type of bitcoiner...the ones that are here for the mission first, knowing the money will take care of itself.    We discuss:  Primal on Nostr (desktop). 100x improvement  Being orange-pilled by your lady  Devoting a holiday to prove her wrong  We're all on the same team.

Some would call it Karma.  The more you try to do good, the more good seeks you out.    We started the Kids Art Competition with a modest 200,000 Satoshi's to give away and our fingers crossed, but at time of writing, that prize is now 1,222,047 sats. Cool, right (thanks to all the supporters).    We also got an e-mail from Scott and Mallory Sibley, whose daughter Charlotte wanted to enter the competition, and they wanted to add a few prizes as well (if that didn't disqualify Charlotte!)    They have kindly offered to donate a copy of their books “Goodnight Bitcoin” and “If You Give a Monster a Bitcoin” to the winner of the 0–4-year-old competition, and a copy of their game “SHAmory” to the winners of the other 3 age groups.  Plus, there will be a 50% discount at www.shamory.com to all those who enter the competition.    We are very grateful for this kind gesture.  So, get creative kids!    We asked them to come on the podcast to tell their story.  We discuss:    Pacific Time minimalism  Recognising that Bitcoin families working and learning together is important  Teaching in a fun way  Bringing the skills you have into Bitcoin  Realising that you're part of something special  Simplifying complex concepts  Satoshi and Hal  Manufacturing a product with no experience  SHAmmy for Africa  Built with Bitcoin  Raising money to build a water well  Finding a Bitcoin designer  Selling bracelets for Satoshis      Pod Shout-outs  https://twitter.com/TheBitcoinConf  https://twitter.com/rjames_BTC   https://twitter.com/builtwithbtc   https://twitter.com/YusufBWB   https://twitter.com/BitcoinerJobs  https://twitter.com/pacificbitcoin   https://twitter.com/BitcoinAlive   https://twitter.com/geyserfund   https://twitter.com/Paulbuybtc   https://twitter.com/PrinceySOV  https://twitter.com/CryptoCloaks   https://twitter.com/BtcPins       Book Recommendations  Goodnight Bitcoin, https://shamory.com/product-category/books/   If You Give a Monster a Bitcoin  Bitcoin Money: A Tale of Bitville Discovering Good Money, https://amzn.to/44BpOr7       Enter or Support the Kids Art Competition  https://bitcoin-first.com/kids-art-competition/   At least 1,222,047 sats to be won!    Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com 

We start with a quick shill for the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body's petition for the RBA to hold 2% of assets in Bitcoin. More details at:  https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN5167  CLOSING DATE FOR SIGNATURES IS 12 JULY 2023.    For more details, listen to this discussion with Dale and Jeremy on The Why Bitcoin Show:  https://fountain.fm/episode/cRv5zTAB4DiYoTqCdFs1     Brendo and I are golfers...not great golfers, but we try. So, when MirbooHodl / GreatGrandMan (Dom. A Nostr maxi. Npub below) reached out a couple of weeks ago about a Golf meets Bitcoin project – 88 Sats – we wanted to talk about it.  I'll be honest and say there were a couple of red flags, but after some back and forth over Nostr DM's we realised that Dom was an open book and was happy for us to question the maxi credentials of the project.  More than anything, this a pod about community building in a Bitcoin world. We discuss:    Can 88 bitcoiners buy a golf course  How long will it take and how to store the Bitcoin until then  Why 1 Aussie “oddball” from Victoria wants to own a golf course in Canada  Running golf tournaments with Satoshi prizes  Creating a Bitcoin only community and a circular economy    88 Sats: Npub1ke3gzakud8hvdpmxxkhzymf87tkznnhmlj78gdqj4t9rqqmkhlws52gfzw  Jor: Npub103m96sra82w4agghew9cdxtzs4s8sl7qsjsvw6h653yml0gjrkzqefd3h5    Finding Bitcoin without social media  Primed for Bitcoin after going down the carnivore and regenerative agriculture rabbit holes  Wearing the Bitcoin merch in your fiat world  Low time preference  Building a node within 3 weeks of buying his first Bitcoin  Leaving the nihilism behind  Allergy to bureaucracy     Pod Shout-outs  https://twitter.com/AusBTCIndBody  https://twitter.com/farmerjen55  https://twitter.com/whybitcoinshow  https://twitter.com/KNGgolf  https://twitter.com/triggerpod  https://twitter.com/KonstantinKisin  https://twitter.com/francisjfoster  https://twitter.com/saifedean  https://twitter.com/saylor  https://twitter.com/Blue_CollarBTC   https://twitter.com/dazbea1  https://twitter.com/bitcoinbushbash  https://twitter.com/BTCsessions  https://twitter.com/AndyBTCAdviser  https://twitter.com/GazLarking  https://twitter.com/PeterBTCAdviser  https://twitter.com/PerthHeat  https://twitter.com/btcessex  https://twitter.com/mission_bitcoin      Npubs  Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp  Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9  MirbooHodl: npub1jeyv5qwg4286fm68vwj93yr53xv9g799w9vcz8al8mkkz36wkt4qektpt7    Book Recommendations  The Bitcoin Standard, https://amzn.to/3PA1MIG   The Fiat Standard, https://amzn.to/3PH7loG   Golf in the Kingdom Michael Murphy, https://amzn.to/46seqQ5     Support the Kids Art Competition  https://geyser.fund/project/2bitidiots  More than a million sats to be won! 

We've had a lot of smart guests recently, which is great, but sometimes your brain needs a break and just needs to listen to Brendo (yeah ok...me too).    In this pod we address all the low-brow issues of the day like:    Brendo not washing for 5 years and wasting so many sats on fixing a shitcoin tiler's mistake.  How should we vett guests  Family feuds  The art competition prize up to 837,000 sats!  Details at https://bitcoin-first.com/kids-art-competition/   Giving away a million dollars to children  Imposter syndrome  Apple versus Nostr  Epic Games and Fortnite  Efficient Market Hypothesis  A ticking timebomb in Car Finance?  US public debt increase in 11 days  Bitcoin Ratchet Theory  A turd on your sandwich    Pod Shout-outs  https://twitter.com/MichaelDunwort1  https://twitter.com/PeterBTCAdviser  https://twitter.com/Bitkiwi1  https://twitter.com/satstothemoon  https://twitter.com/BVBTC  https://twitter.com/geyserfund  https://twitter.com/getAlby  https://twitter.com/Dale21M  https://twitter.com/the_Bowdog  https://twitter.com/allenf32  https://twitter.com/DylanLeClair_  https://twitter.com/Bitcoinfinity  https://twitter.com/_Checkmatey_      Tweet of the Week  https://twitter.com/Bitcoinfinity/status/1583951526657417216    Dick of the Day  @Apple    Ways to Earn Bitcoin  https://bitcoin-first.com/earn    Npubs  Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp  Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9    Support the Kids Art Competition  https://geyser.fund/project/2bitidiots  Nearly a million sats to be won! 

Anyone we've met in person will verify that my hair isn't one of my strengths. Brendo would claim it's one of his, but that's a matter of opinion. So, you'd be forgiven for wondering what the hell we're doing talking to a hairdresser on the podcast.    Frankly, if you'd asked us a month ago if that would ever happen, I imagine a hearty laugh would have been the response. But...a month is a long time in Bitcoin!    Aaron reached out to have a chat and told us that we needed to hear about the confluence of Bitcoin and Hairdressing. So, who the hell are we to dismiss something we had zero knowledge of. And, you know what, he was totally right!    We discuss:  Irresponsible parenting and nasty DM's  Eurovision  Bitcoin meetups in Essex www.t.me/bitcoinessex  Mainstream clickbait and weather warnings  Extreme career change and the importance of enjoying what you do even if it means starting from the bottom  Supermodels and A-listers  Fiat sucking the life out of the UK hairdressing industry  Shrinkflation  Fear of speaking up  The problem with minimum wages  Unintended consequences when you remove the free market and skew incentives  www.GoSalon.uk   Our poor shampoo choices  Rip-off culture  The power of the QR code.

Do you have a creative kid? Are you always talking about Bitcoin? Could they create a piece of art that is their interpretation of what it is you go on about all the time?  To celebrate reaching 100 shows on the 2-Bit Idiots podcast, we've decided to run a Kids Art Competition and give away 50,000 sats to the winners in each age group.    The Rules  There are 4 ages categories (4 and under, 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16). Age on 31/7/23 We will accept a maximum of 21 entries in each category  Any type of art is accepted (painting, drawing, digital, sculpture, photograph etc)  Winners will be judged by our kids. Their decision is final.  You keep the original art. All entries to be submitted to 2BitIdiotsPodcast@gmail.com by 31st July 2023 or when the group has received the maximum number of entries (whichever comes sooner).  Please include their name (pseudonyms are fine), age group, country and a contact e-mail address for their parent/guardian if they win.  Winners will be invited on to our 100th podcast with their parent to tell us about their art and be awarded their prize.  All entries will be displayed by age group at: https://bitcoin-first.com/kids-art-competition   Good luck. We can't wait to see what you come up with.    To hear the background and inspiration for this project please listen to: https://fountain.fm/episode/tjXExsVmrqO21cd98sNR If you'd like to donate some sats to the project, please do so via our GeyserFund page.   https://geyser.fund/project/2bitidiots   All sats donated here will be given to the kids. Let's see if we can do something special and mint some new maxis!  Thank you to Pixel, Paul, Haggis, Salmon and our kids for your generosity and inspiration.  #ForTheKids

While most of us spend years trying to convince our cousin/sibling/mum that we're not crazy and that “it might make sense just to get some in case it catches on”, there are others among us that are operating at an altogether higher level. Samson Mow is one of those people.    As the CEO of JAN3, he's working on nation-state adoption and accelerating hyperbitcoinization, but he didn't set out to do that, it just happened one day.    He kindly took some time out of his hectic schedule to hang out with a couple of Idiots.  Here's what we discussed:    Will we ever operate on block time so that time difference is no longer a thing (we sound rough in the morning!)  The state of DMs when you have a large following  How to prioritise your workload  The mission of JAN3 (top-down and bottom-up)  How opportunities present themselves  Varying levels of knowledge, understanding and receptivity  Explaining that Bitcoin is just Money  Awareness of money being devalued versus the high time preference nature of politics  The next El Salvador.

It's like buses. You don't see one for ages and then 2 come along at once! But seriously, Christmas dinner at the Dunworth's must be an interesting experience.    Michael is the time travelling bitcoiner, that has locked Bitcoin in 2140 to ensure miners still have an incentive to mine even once the final block reward is issued. That's a great story – it's a wonderful story – but you may have heard it at Bitcoin Alive, a bush bash or on another podcast that Michael has done (we'd recommend EP96 of Meyrick's Dabbling Path, EP5 with Discovering Bitcoin and the recent release from The Why Bitcoin Show).    We've delayed doing this one, because frankly we didn't know what we could add, but once we realised the answer to that was Nothing, we decided to just get together and shoot the shit because he's a fun bloke to share a beer with.

Paul is a husband, dad, business owner and now bitcoiner, based in Victoria, Australia.     We first met at a BitcoinBushBash (are you noticing a theme) in 2022, again at Bitcoin Alive in 2023 and now he joins us on the pod to tell his story.     This one will resonate with business owner/operators who have had to navigate through a difficult few years, since that thing which we cannot mention and the government overreach in response to the thing that we cannot mention. You know the thing. THE THING.     But more importantly, as we come out the other side, the hope we all feel thanks to the positive changes and outcomes we see in our move towards a Bitcoin Standard.    We discuss:    Brendo selling his chairs  Why are Bitcoin conversations more comfortable  Surviving the business turmoil caused by the hardest lockdown in the world  Burning through the rainy-day account  The “recession we had to have”  The inevitability of our high inflation environment  Working on a 200-year plan   The manipulation of the system against everyday people  Operating in both the Bitcoin and Fiat systems  Personal responsibility  Estate planning  Government poor decision-making forcing individuals to find answers elsewhere  The Bitcoin safety net  Interest rate rises and black swan events  Spending less than you earn and living frugally  Giving yourself choices in life  Families attending Bitcoin meetups, and allowing kids to learn by being in the room  Art by Pixel  Being the example for your children and creating learning experiences  The difficulties incorporating Bitcoin payments into your business  Australians not appreciating the hardships being felt in other countries      Pod Shout-outs  https://twitter.com/BitcoinAlive   https://twitter.com/SharkGregNorman   https://twitter.com/bitcoinbushbash   https://twitter.com/theamberapp   https://twitter.com/jack       Npubs   Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp  Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9    Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com

Bitcoin sends you off in directions you never dreamed you would go.  In the next couple of weeks, I'll be helping Roger at a woman's wellness Bitcoin chocolate making session.  A bunch of words I never thought I'd use in the same sentence!

We're telling a story. We didn't set out to tell a story – in fact we rarely set out with any coherent plan – but we're telling a story, nonetheless.    This is Owen's story.     He's an Aussie with a background in organic farming certification. We first met at a Bitcoin Bush Bash in 2020, visited his farm in 2021 (Episode 22), spoke to him from his El Salvador scoping trip in May 2022 (Episode 43) from next door to Mrs Bukele (Episode 61) and now here we are again. It's a fascinating progression of a doer rather than a talker, and I'd highly recommend you go back over the previous episodes to get the full picture.    We discuss:  Starting a beef business in El Salvador and partnering with pro-Bitcoin locals  Types of farming and the challenge of the wet and dry seasons  The current quality of beef and the inclusion of chemical additives (fiat incentives)  Only accepting Bitcoin in the business  Blink wallet  Hedging volatility  Residency and visa options  Brain drain starting to reverse  Opportunity everywhere with huge tax incentives  Seeking entrepreneurial influence  Bukele's majority means that all bills pass  Muh roads in Guatemala.

Are you home? Did you survive?  A huge shout out to @lungdoge, @dylanhashmurray and Jess (the @BitcoinAlive team) for putting together a fantastic first Bitcoin Only conference for Australia.  We're yet to speak to someone who didn't enjoy the day, and the opportunity it gave so many solid bitcoiners to be in the same city at the same time.  Many of us milked it and made it a loonnngggg weekend. Too many people to thank, but you know who you are.  For those who didn't manage this time, here's a glimpse into what happens in Jack's closet.  Til next time.     PS – The language is appalling in this one.

(Pushing this one out quickly for those making the trek to Beechworth.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please listen til the end as Pete will blow your tiny mind. We spoke with Pete just a few short weeks ago (EP70) about what high-net-worth clients think of Bitcoin.

So, he kindly agreed to go again. Settle in and pour yourself a coffee, this is a long one!  If you're a connoisseur of bullish price valuation models, this one is also for you.

There's nothing a bitcoiner enjoys more than bursting a mainstream narrative. If we really are “bOiLinG tHE oCEans”, why is it that Simon and his colleagues at www.Stackr.co.nz are Bitcoin mining with renewable energy and providing stability to the electricity grid in New Zealand's South Island. It really is a head scratcher, isn't it.

Bitcoiners branching out into other industries is great, but what I really want to see is people in other industries adopting Bitcoin. I'm particularly keen for musicians, athletes and sports teams to figure this out (shout out to Perth Heat for leading by example). That's why I was very excited to discover Joe Martin. Joe is a singer-songwriter who is a musician first but also a bitcoiner. He gets it, and the best bit...he's good! We want Joe to be able to take a message to his friends in the music industry, so we're passing on all donations (streams, boosts etc) from value-for-value enabled podcasting apps. Have a listen to Joe's story and his current single / title track from his new album. If you like what you hear, please send a few sats his way. We discuss: His backstory as Country/Americana artist Crafting story-based songs and the creative process of making an album What it means to be a professional (completely independent) musician today Generating a revenue from gigs and merchandise.

When: 15th April 2023 Where: The Roundhouse, Sydney Tickets: www.bitcoinalive.io Discount: 10% off with codes HATS or BRENDO at checkout With less than 6 weeks to go, we catch up with the boys from Bitcoin Alive (Chris and Dylan) to find out how the planning for Australia's first big-scale, Bitcoin Only conference is going. When we last spoke in mid-December (EP67) they had just announced the event and location, but tickets hadn't been released and speakers hadn't been confirmed. Less than 3 months on (which I'm sure has felt like 3 days to them), we thought it was time for an update for those of you that know you're attending and others that might still be on the fence.

I finally stepped out of Brendo's shadow and did one of these interview thingies by myself. Turns out the tech side is way easier than he makes it sound! The problem though, is that Gary (Gaz) and I can talk the corn! I think it was 3 hours 53 minutes to be precise, but don't worry we only recorded an hour or so. Gaz is as bullish on Bitcoin as the rest of us, but his knowledge and life experience also gives him a perspective on risk that many of those that have recently been rekt by leverage could learn from. You don't need to risk the farm; you just need to get off zero. We discuss: Brendo. A man on the edge.

It's easy to talk a big game. Backing it up is harder. However, what we've found over the last 7 years, is that the closer you align yourself with Bitcoin, the better things turn out. Look at all aspects of your life; health; work; relationships; family; education et al and apply the Bitcoin filter. Allow it to affect your decision making and voila...things magically improve.

The Bitcoin conversation in this one is minimal at best, but there are free sats to be won, so you might have to listen to find out if you're the winner! Thanks to everyone that's contributed to the podcast this year. Guests, listeners, boosters, sat streamers, trolls, people that gave us gifts, everyone at the bush bash and all the Twitter psychopaths. We appreciate you all. Bitcoin will fix the world. It's the only money. But...IT'S ONLY MONEY. Take some time off at Christmas with your people and enjoy life. Otherwise, what are we doing this for?

The list of large-scale Bitcoin only events is growing all over the world, but we didn't have one in Australia. Until now. Quick Links Twitter @BitcoinAlive @dylanhashmurray @lungdoge Website www.bitcoinalive.io Frustrated by the time and expense required to attend the conferences overseas, Chris, Dylan and Jess have decided to put that right. On Saturday, 15th of April 2023, Bitcoin Alive will make its debut. A single day conference at the Roundhouse, Sydney ( www.arc.unsw.edu.au/roundhouse ), Bitcoin Alive will “bring together Australia's Bitcoin community for a day of the highest quality Bitcoin content from the best minds in Bitcoin from both Australia and overseas”. We sat down with Chris and Dylan to find out more about their motivations and plans for the day. We discussed: Why we need a Bitcoin conference in Australia Who the event is pitched at Event management experience The value of meeting bitcoiners face-to-face Providing a platform for the bitcoiner talent in Australia Date, Location, Venue Capacity, 20+ Speakers 900-seat main stage, keynote presentations, VIP area, breakout rooms, panels, fireside chats and beer garden Fitting in to the circuit of global Bitcoin events and adding an Aussie spin with satellite events Risks involved and work required Timescales for announcement of Speakers and Costs (sign up for Presale Tickets) Swell reports from Coogee Beach Support from and giving back to the Bitcoin community Sponsorship and maintaining your integrity while staying Bitcoin Only Positive/negative feedback and being judged on their Proof of Work Not looking at the Bitcoin price for a year (and guessing where we are now) Pod Shout-outs www.twitter.com/the_Bowdog www.twitter.com/saylor www.twitter.com/jackmallers www.twitter.com/TheGuySwann www.twitter.com/JeffBooth www.twitter.com/BTCSchellingPt www.twitter.com/stephanlivera www.twitter.com/pacificbitcoin www.twitter.com/AdoptingBTC www.twitter.com/knutsvanholm www.twitter.com/gregzaj1 www.twitter.com/FossGregfoss Contact us: www.2bitidiots.com

We live in the sticks. We're happy living in the sticks. You couldn't pay us enough (even sats!) to live in the city. The problem with living in the sticks, however, is that you may be the only bitcoiner. That was true until Brendo came along. 2 of us fighting the good fight. But...it turns out we weren't even the first in our part of the sticks. Enter plebHODLBadger! We've found another Maxi and he has a friend too! 4 of us. IN THE STICKS! More Bitcoin Maxis than Post Offices. We're winning, and each one of you is the reason why. Here's his story: Running core in 2011, but turning it off to not waste his sister's electricity Always stacking Getting burned in shitcoins and learning not to spend time thinking about them When does a scam become a scam The progress of the Lightning network and what's still required Maintaining your passion for your fiat life and what comes next Hallucinogens and the mixing of the senses Rights, freedoms and your political opinions through a Bitcoin filter Getting paid in Bitcoin Validation Misconceptions around Bitcoin meetups What does the “fight you” stage look like Real estate.

This is our light-hearted take on the Bitcoin Bush Bash in Murrurundi, NSW. It was just as expected. A few words that spring to mind: Welcoming. Old friends. New friends. Honest (sometimes brutally). Intellectually Stimulating. Steak. Beers. Art. Proof of Work. Growing. Committed. Humble. Curious. Family. Fun. That was our third and certainly not our last. We'd love to make it to QLD, VIC and WA to attend theirs someday. Let's see. Most importantly. If you haven't yet been to a bush bash and you're wondering whether to come, please do. You'll certainly be made welcome. Better yet, start your own and send us all an invitation. Thank you to all those that didn't want to be thanked! Bitcoin for the win. If we have not made the connection yet (Twitter is best), please reach out to one/both of us as it's not always easy to connect the online persona with the real-life human. Safe travels.

It's nearly Bush Bash time again, so here's one for the road. On the agenda today: Welfare checks from your postman Weird questions Sugar is the biggest shitcoin Lightning node problems The friend that will tell you when you look like shit Why citadels won't work Our favourite bush basher Are you prepared to not be liked Grayscale and Coinbase Proof of Reserves are a shitcoin Microstrategy Volcano bonds How did you feel safe as a child Taking responsibility for yourself Can you trust Bitcoin more than you trust yourself Why you will not beat bitcoiners Selling and buying back in Capital gains tax.

Bitcoin is a game of patience. Daniel has been here a while and has shown more patience than most. Founder of HardBlock.com.au – Australia's oldest Bitcoin only exchange – he's stayed true to his principles since finding Bitcoin in 2013. There have been hurdles and challenges along the way. Brendo and I sat down with him to hear his story and seek his advice. It left us with plenty to consider. We discuss: What it's like being in Bitcoin full-time for 9 years Starting a Bitcoin business 4 months after discovering Bitcoin Jumping in on the 2013 price spike, and being underwater for 2 years Coming from a computer system engineering and economics background His rapid fall down the rabbit hole Never really having a “real job” Seeing a Bitcoin therapist Being part of a social revolution Managing risk in a Bitcoin business Being de-banked more than 20 times Building a service you're happy to recommend to family and friends Encouraging customers to self-custody Shitcoin casinos Can you build a Bitcoin only business and why Industry bodies The ethics of advertising How you reach decisions Can a business outperform Bitcoin Local not global Pod Shout-outs www.twitter.com/HardBlockBTC www.twitter.com/AusBitcoinPod www.twitter.com/BitcoinAdelaide www.twitter.com/AusBTCIndBody www.twitter.com/aantonop www.twitter.com/bitcoinbushbash Contact Us www.2bitidiots.com www.twitter.com/StackingHats www.twitter.com/BitcoinBrendo

It's great having new guests on to tell us how they found their way to Bitcoin or explaining what they are doing in the Bitcoin ecosystem, but it's also interesting to follow a story and see the progress over time. Owen is an example of the latter. We first met at the OG Bitcoin Bush Bash in Murrurundi in 2020, then we travelled to his farm in northern NSW to check out his beef operation (EP22). We spoke again as he went over to El Salvador on a scouting mission to see if it really was somewhere he thought he could live (EP43) and now we catch up with him as he's finding his feet in San Salvador. He's not a talker...he's a doer! He's also a good talker...we discuss: Being top of the 2 Bit league Making the decision to sell the farm and leave Australia Living next door to the President's mum Making friends in San Salvador The general cost of living (rent, fuel, food, quality beef, motorcycles) Travel restrictions Where's Jordy Nomad or Expat Optimising tax status The perfect San Salvador climate Paying in Bitcoin/Lightning Problems with payments generally Where is the most chilled out Bitcoin conference Using the local health system Gringos having an edge No scamming or woke culture, completely safe and much less regulation Business ideas Adopting Bitcoin Lightning Summit, Nov 15-17 https://adoptingbitcoin.org Bitcoin Landing Spot https://twitter.com/BTCLandingSpot Visas.

We've all got that friend that “can't afford Bitcoin” or says, “it's too risky”, right? Well, this episode is for them. Please forward it on to them and we'll talk them through risk free and no cost ways to earn Bitcoin (sats).

Even if we get Morpheus himself, these 2 will always be our favourite guests. Today, we welcome Itty and Bitty (our daughters) onto the pod to tell us what they know about Bitcoin, how annoying Bitcoin dads are and to give a kid's perspective on all these things we keep going on about. I think they surprised themselves with how much they know, and it just proves that if kids can ‘get it' there's no excuse for anyone else not to. Plus, it's a doxx fest, so it's gonna cost us! We also talk about: Who pays the doxx fine A virtual money, a hard cap supply, no bank, peer-to-peer Getting better at knowing is easier when it's something you enjoy What the girls believe money to be Shrinking Toblerone's, Big Mac's and Pringles My terrible description of a 10p mix up Advertising tricks and mashed potato ice cream Scarcity Roblox and Robux Rollerskates and Dolls Buskers Turning anything into a Bitcoin conversation Do they talk about Bitcoin at school No more radio Accents Pocket money jobs eBay challenge How old is an old person, and how to convince them digital things have value Most people won't know how Bitcoin works What's your favourite part about Bitcoin We try to explain the difficulty adjustment Pod Shout-outs https://twitter.com/fold_app https://twitter.com/LookingGlassEdu https://twitter.com/THNDRGAMES https://twitter.com/PlaySHAmory Brisket's Doxx Jar Hats 14,900 Sats Itty 3,000 Sats Brendo 19,300 Sats Bitty 4,000 Sats Daz 300 Sats – paid!

We were wrong. We keep doing pods with plebs from all over the world looking for how things are different where they are. And the answer is always...they're not. Brendo even broke into “We Are the World” (sorry). This week it was our pleasure to chat with Abhilash Nair (Abi) from Hexa Wallet (hexawallet.io) the first product from BitHyve. A fully remote team, predominantly based in India, the conversation focussed on Abi's personal journey, the parallel journey of the Hexa Wallet and the Bitcoin 4 India conference on November 5th and 6th in Goa. We also touch on: Accents changing every 20km, language changing every 100km. Educating 1.3 billion people in India. NO CONNECTION TO HEX COIN (please avoid) Simplifying Hexa Wallet for ease of use, and the introduction of “Pledge” (fundraising) and “Keeper” (storage) to be released in a couple of months. Building an easy on-ramp to the Bitcoin ecosystem with a polished UI/UX Gifting sats Integrated exchange functionality (Swan, Ramp and Wyre) The polarising view of Testnet Sentiment in India for Bitcoin and cRYptO Family gatherings Transformative books The BitHyve team and the use of advisors Bitcoin4India for Indian bitcoiners Job satisfaction “through the roof” Choose to be a cynical optimist Bitcoin 4 India https://bitcoin4india.org/ Bitcoin ONLY conference. 5/6 November.

We're back where we belong. My dingy garage. But, we do have a piece of art on the wall now. It's a $50 note that we're calling “nostalgia”. No guest this week I'm afraid, just Brendo asking stupid questions and then humouring my ranting responses. We cover: Modern art. That banana.

I know, I know...we've been slack. More accurately, I've been slack, and Brendo's been pulling his weight (I know right!). Feeble excuse given in the pod. Sorry. But we're back, and you'll be pleased to hear we have a guest. Meyrick kindly invited us on to his pod (Meyrick's Dabbling Path) a month or so ago, and we decided to continue the conversation here. Born in India but now an Australian citizen, he brings a different perspective that we are keen to hear more of. Bitcoin is for everyone, and we all need to spread the message as far as we're able. We discuss: How he emerged from the shitcoin and NFT maze Working at a crypto research firm Stopping mining in the early days because it was “making Counter Strike laggy” Working in the banking sector in India Removing legal tender status of the 500 and 1000 rupee note Is it wasting time or is it learning Can you outperform Bitcoin How can Bitcoin fail Meatspace v Twitter at Melbourne Bitcoin meetup The “best” shitcoins are just loyalty programmes Fiat mining for Bitcoin Saylor Academy.

There are bitcoiners who are made, and there are bitcoiners who are born. The former are to be respected. They have a different perspective on life, but when presented with new information, they change their mind. Totally logical, but all too rare. However, the latter have always been bitcoiners. They've had a Bitcoin mindset forever; Bitcoin just didn't exist.
